the top members of iran, so called morality police in response to terrans violent crack down on anti regime protesters. ah, i'm nichol foolish, it's good to have you with us explosions. have rock been ukrainian capital came yet again monday morning president. voluntary zalinski accuses russia of using so called common cause a drones to attack the city according to ukrainian officials. at least 3 people died. falling an attack on a residential building and rescue crews are still trying to free those trapped under the rubble authority, say a russian strikes and earns of ukraine. i've left several more dead and knocked out power to hundreds of towns. a bright hold from morning and keep shattered by more deadly attacks from russia. ukrainian capital woke up to
9:02 pm
a series of explosions early on monday morning. this residential building now a smouldering wreck, was one of several stroke. at least 3 people are believed to have died. as emergency teams worked to rescue injured survivors from the rubble shocked residents waited on news of their family and neighbors. real quick came here after getting a phone call from our mother who said she was under the ramble. she said, please find someone urgently to help me. i'm buried under the ravel. we don't know if she's still under the rabble. we were told some one was taken to hospital. it might have been hurt, but we dont know. no, 900 of ukraine's government says the attacks used so called kamikaze drones made in iran. oh oh, they can loiter overhead before finding and hitting a target. surveying the damage keeps mayor of italy. plesco said moscow was
9:03 pm
deliberately targeting civilians. they destroyed our country, they destroyed our hometown. did they kill allows right now we see the arrow days bear up. is there a dock is draw desert drew phrase of this one. roger. good . the russians need you. brainy. resolved your granules in that. why big? you see below people the attacks come just a week after russia struck key for the 1st time in several months. d, w correspondent, finding fact shar reported from the aftermath of one of the attacks is unclear just how many people remain trapped here. but one message is clear, last year is not going to let go of attacking. you have to sit in a sense, civilian indiscriminate challenge that the people here are witnessing. the people of keith had gotten used to a degree of normality in recent months. but these attacks have brought the
9:04 pm
brutality of war rushing back. and we can now cross to our corresponding mateus building, who is in cave matea. tell us more about the attacks on monday morning. yeah, we had several explosions and the most notable damage was this residential building that was here for 3 people. as far as we know died in there, there are drones seems to have flown directly into the frontal into this building and destroyed the apartments in there. it might have been targeting a power plan that's next near by that would fit in the, in the pattern that we've been seeing. russia is destroying the energetic infrastructure of the country before winter. these attacks on civilians. this is the 2nd big attack on kiva since last week, but we've seen these drones,
9:05 pm
or we've heard that these drones were flying to which the capitol several times, most of them have been intercepted by air defense. but as we see today, 40 mr. 40 drones were launched today, and some of them hit yet keep or, and ukraine was able to actually intercept many gallons that were sent towards the capital. what does that tell us about case air defense capabilities? whoa, air defense is of course, very important in this war. because russia has been shooting rockets and recently drones at civilian infrastructure since the beginning of the war. and the cube has worked on announcing these capabilities and also have been delivered some new systems. but the jones poses a certain difficulty because they fly lower than rockets or planes and they, it's harder to identify them by rater. and it's more difficult to, to,
9:06 pm
to hit them actually, many of the systems that even the most advanced systems are designed to shoot down planes. rockets that fly higher and that are bigger. so it's impressive how much can be done already without having the proper systems. but there are systems especially designed to shoot down drones. and these systems is what key of asks the partners now to provide my t as has been a week since russia started attacking, keep in retaliation for the current straight bridge explosion. home for parent were people in the capital for something like this for something like that and draw a strike or saturday. everybody in ukraine knows that anything can it at any time, but people of course had gotten used. a key of hasn't been hit for many months before last monday. so people had gotten used to that. people here do not really believe
9:07 pm
that this is a pure italy in for the strike on the crimean bridge. as it seems that there is some plan behind it. this must have been planned before to hit all of these infrastructure objects or these power plants must have been something now designed before that might have um, they might of launched, it may be, oh, may, it might have planned to launch it at a different time. and might react it to the strike on the crimean bridge. that's what people here think. but overall, this is this. most people here are convinced is something that russia had planned quite some time ago. and there has been some talk, the city administration, these situations, the services are pretty quick, are responding and also clearing up the sides after any attack, also filling in for example, a hose in the road we had last monday we had 11
9:08 pm
major old been being hit and it was filled up just 2 days late. what has filling out with the latest from came thank you very much. well, ukraine says jones made in iran were used in many a russia recent attacks, terran denying selling drowns to russia. but analysts have evidence of rain in instructors training russian soldiers to use them. here's a look at what the unmanned tools of war are and what russia is doing with them. they call it the moped for its loud crude mechanical noise that can be heard from far away. the iran made shot had 136 drone here seen hovering over odessa. but it's no joke. these drones can have devastating effects, though iran deny selling them to russia. g f says fragments of this drone shot down in southern ukraine have iranian, as well as russian markings. the shower head is
9:09 pm
a series of drones made by iran. the 136 has a wingspan of 2 and a half meters and carries 40 kilograms of explosives. it's classified as a loitering munition. it can hang out for hours in the air until a target is found than it zooms in, becoming a missile that destroys itself on impact. what makes iranian drones useful to russia is that they are cheap and the shot had $136.00 can cost about $20000.00 euros each is the growth. mm. oh my the m. and yet they get that huge rush or flies them alone or in low altitude swarms, hoping that one or 2 will get 3 ukrainian air defenses which have trouble seeing them, although several have been shot down. mm hm. ukraine is still figuring out how to deal with the threat they pose,
9:10 pm
but they will have to act fast. president zalinski claims that russia has ordered more than 2000 of the shop heads. and to take a little deeper or joy now by like a stronger. she's a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations in london and an expert on drones, an artificial intelligence. doctor frank, the welcome sh. first em. i'd like to ask you what makes these so called kamikaze drones so dangerous? i think in this instance, they're mainly dangerous because they're available and russia has a lot of them. i was actually really impressed by the number of drones that iran apparently has been able to deliver to russia so quickly. and that means that russia can use them can use a lot of them and can attack very different places well behind the front line. so nowhere is safe, basically ukraine, and i think that's exactly the message of russia wants to send. it's a, it's a chair, it's terrorizing the civilians and it's destroying the civilian infrastructure. and
9:11 pm
so yeah, russia is trying to show the ukrainians that even far away from the front lines, they can be attacked. so right now they are plainly trying to so fear and terror with this. is that what you're saying? yes, i think that's, that's exactly right. that's what the systems are, are good for. and for russia, they're also, i mean, they're relatively cheap. we have a price tag of around $20000.00 euros or dollars as we've heard, which is much, much cheaper than saying elastic missiles. so anything else that russia has been used to has been using to attack behind the, the front lines and so rush, i can do this for quite a long time. and if iran is able to indeed deliver thousands of the systems as has been playing, this can go on for a long time. and it also means that the ukrainian air defense will need to work over time. so it just binds a lot of forces because they will need to watch the sky all the time and defend
9:12 pm
against these drones. and that of course, makes things more difficult for the ukrainian military grain was able to intercept some of the drones today. but it seems russia is planning to step up its game even more intending to buy more drones from, from iran. how can you go about finding off a growing threat from the sky? yes, so i've actually been rather impressed by the numbers of drones that ukraine has apparently shut down. of course, it's a bit difficult to verify that there have been pictures and videos so it's rather clear that ukraine has managed to shoot down these systems with different means. so ukraine has several aerial defense systems. most of those aren't specifically made to defend against drones, but rather aircraft or missile or are other things, but they can still be used against these drones. so, so that's, that's good news. but there still been quite a few that that have gone through. and it just kind of reiterates that ukraine is
9:13 pm
going to need more other fences and ideally, systems that are specifically designed to detect and fight off these drones. because not only made the systems that the ukrainians have not be specifically designed for it. there's also a cost question, so you don't want to use something where, you know it costs a 100000 euros to use it once against a system that only cost 20000 to the enemy. you can only do this for so long as a cost efficiency question as well. so ukraine will need more systems and will need to, to keep washing the sky, which again, have just binds forces and makes it harder for ukraine to defend on other, on the front line. for example, in recent weeks, we've been talking a lot about the ukranian counter offensive and the gains made on russian occupied territory. what is the increased use of the suicide drones mean for the war and what happens on, on what parts of the country that have become a battlefield already? i mean, obviously it's, it's difficult to,
9:14 pm
to tell and we can only speculate. so i think at this point, you can see that russia is mainly using the systems to, to terrorize the population, to destroy where it is, attack civilian infrastructure, which is gonna, you know, frustrate the, the civilian population, even more will destroy the economy, even more, all of this has an impact on the world on other direct one, but of course, you know, you can use the systems also directly on the battle field attack trip formations, tanks, etc. so this may also play a role going forward. i would be surprised that the systems were decisive. i mean, there's really one system that's the size of in the war. but nevertheless, i think the number here really matters. if we really are talking about thousands and iran just keeps them coming and fresh, i can throw them on to the battle field this. yeah, this may impact the work quite a bit. of course, you know, other elements are important too. so let's not just focus on one to the system.
9:15 pm
it's not on the side to war. that was very clear, like a fan of the european council on foreign relations in london. thank you very much for coming on to the show tonight. thank you. and now to sell other stories, making headlines around the world today are russian fighter plane has crashed into a residential building and a town in southern russia, causing a blaze that engulfed several force. local media say at least 4 people are dead. rushes defense ministry says the crash happened during a training exercise and was caused by an engine fire. britain's opposition labor party has strongly criticized the turbulence created by changes in the conservative governments. economic policy. newly appointed finance minister, jeremy hunt has reversed prime minister list trust is controversial tax cut plans after they caused a pupil and financial market. all 7 members of the key pop super group

link to the death or miesha mini and to the repression of peaceful protest dish. and you've needed. we are ready to add more names to this late. iran has vowed an immediate response to the new sanctions. in manila folders which rushed in by his behavior is unacceptable. it's meddling in our domestic affairs, should animals we don't accept this, julius thought on john, we've got about to shudder. must all use as politicians, trade accusations protest her like these students and centrally run, continue venting the anger at the authorities who seem unwilling to listen. and for more we can speak to gay. so nea, she's the director of the atlantic council strategic litigation project focused on accountability for human rights violations. her area of expertise is rule of law in iran. miss mia, what do you make of these new sanctions?
9:19 pm
what effect if any, do you think they'll have? well, it's certainly a welcome development, these sanctions on 15 iranian entities and individuals who are implicated and human rights violations, including the ron's morality police and it's law enforcement courses. it's very appreciated because this is the only 2nd such that of human rights designations that b e. u has levy against the islamic republic since 2013. so human rights, lawyers and advocates have long been calling for further designations for human rights violations on top iranian leadership. and that just hadn't happened until now. are there other leave or if you would like the international community to pull to hold the iranian government accountable?
9:20 pm
yes, there's a lot that the international community can be doing right now and that the you and it's individual member states can be doing one is bad. member states need to immediately call a special session of the un human rights council. there needs to be a special session to discuss the ongoing human rights crisis, any iran and to discuss the setup of an accountability mechanisms that will allow for a repository to streamline the collection and preservation of evidence of violation . and to possibly issue reports on the situation. so that is something that the international community and un member states can do today if they wanted to. and additional thing that they could do is remove the islamic republic. iran of iran from the un commission on the status of women, which is the un top women's rights body. they were elected last year and they
9:21 pm
started a 4 year term in march 2022. they're going to be there till 2026, a country which has gender discriminatory laws on the books to the severity that the islamic republic should not be allowed to have a leader leadership position on a un body like that thing that can happen. yeah, sorry, sorry, continue. i was going to say additional thing that could happen with respect to the sanction. so we saw that there are these human right. thanks and that have been issued it's fine to freeze the assets of the individuals who are implicated in these violations in responsible for them. but i also think that your countries should start considering legislation that allows for the seizure of these assets of chronic human rights violators. and transfer from perpetrators to victims . similar to like, canada has done. they recently passed legislation that allows for that repurposing
9:22 pm
of asset. yeah. these protests have been going on for over a month now. and despite the deadly crackdown they don't appear to be a baby. i want to look ahead with you. what is your sense of how this is going to play out? because i'm a republic of iran has successfully squelched out previous protests that have been reoccurring in the country since december 2017. i think what is different here is that young girls, young women have joined these protest. it. this is about social change. they have joined by taking off their mandatory had jobs and peacefully protesting for their rights. i think it becomes much more difficult for state security for says to kill young girls girls as young as 12 who are protesting for their right. so that's why we see these protests enduring. and really because the core is it's about social change. they are demanding social freedom. specifically with regard to the
9:23 pm
fire in the prison were many protesters are being held. what are you hearing about what's happening there and how concerned are you about the welfare of the prisoners? we've been hearing different things. iranian state media and the judiciary 1st reported that 40 people were killed in the fire, then they quickly revised that number to 4. now they're saying that 8 people have died because an additional forced to come to their injuries. so we don't have a transparent death count, human rights organizations, and citizen journalists collectives are trying to establish the welfare of different individuals. but we should remember that there are lots of political prisoners and the there are human rights lawyers. there are those who are in prison just for their peaceful expression of their freedom of expression association and assembly and just for doing their job. so this is very critical,
9:24 pm
the prisoners overcrowded right now, because the authority is, have rounded up a lot of different civil society leaders there. and this really demands the international community, his attention, and anybody you know, any countries that have to pull medic relations with those law republic should be urging the absolute welfare and release of these prisoners keentonia with the atlantic council. thank you so much. germany has decided to keep its 3 nuclear power plants, operational until april of next year. german chancellor off shows asked the economy, environment and finance ministries to create a legal basis for the extension, germany and plan to phase out nuclear power by the end of 2022 entirely russian war in ukraine and the collapse of energy supplies. however prompt at the government to reconsider the plan. and the the way is political correspondence. i'm a young told us what's behind germany's decision to keep the nuclear plants on.
9:25 pm
stand by. the chancellor didn't give any reasons in the very short communication that he sent to his ministers, the saving that's been published. but i think it's pretty clear. the argument has one the day that extending the life of germany's 3 remaining nuclear power stations, which were g to be switched off at the end of this year, is the easiest way to show ensure that there's a significant reserve capacity available over the winter, particularly if as he's expected, you know, there's a short fall because of disruption to the gas supply. you know, that could be a shortfall in germany's energy provision. so this is the decision that's been taken. it's not without difficulties. in particular, the green party, which of course is fundamentally opposed to nuclear power, has got trouble with it. but just over the weekend, they did concede in principle that they could imagine some kind of
9:26 pm
a continuation for a short time of these pass stations. so sholtes probably thought now's the time to make that to make that call and extend nuclear in germany for another a few months until the middle of april, next year. and our correspondence time young, they're tis and wonderfully football now. and one of the surprise teams in the league scholar season come back to earth on sunday, 2nd place 5 book was up against foreign munich. and there's nobly opened the flooring for the defending champions after just 30 minutes when he found the rebound inside the bible penalty area by and poured it on from there with a goal of the game coming from leroy may. in the 2nd half byron's 5 mill victory, collins jump past fibers into the 2nd place, a fraud and corruption trial. a football star naymark is underway in barcelona. stemming from his transfer to barcelona football club from club santo's in 2013 ne
