a bit targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah ah ah . the sustainable your news live from berlin. a drone assault rocks, the center of key this morning because he clearly beyond me the devastation. this is a residential building. a 4 story building, several people are reported dead falling new russian strikes on several ukrainian

cities. keys, mayor calls them terror attacks. also coming up the you announces sanctions against top members of iran, so called morality, police and response to parents violent crock down on anti regime protesters. and this year's world health stomach targets at tiny, tenacious pests mosquitoes kill more humans annually than any other animal on earth . will look at the new malaria vaccine, as scientists say, could have world changing potential. ah, i'm nicole for a leaf to our viewers on p b. s in the united states and around the world. it's good to have you with us explosions, rock, the ukrainian capital key, yet again on monday, president voluntary zalinski accuses russia using so called kamikaze drones to attack the city, according to ukrainian officials,

at least 3 people died following an attack on a residential building, authority, se russian strikes and other regions of ukraine have left several more dead and knocked out power to hundreds of towns. a bright haul from morning and keep shattered by more deadly attacks from russia. ukrainian capital woke up to 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 residence waited on news of their family and neighbors. fully equipped 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 at

might have been hurt, but we dont know. non i ended up ukraine's government says the attacks used so called kamikaze drones made in iran. oh, they can lawyer overhead before finding and hitting a target. surveying the damage keeps mayor of italy, plesco said moscow was deliberately targeting civilians. they destroyed our country, they destroyed our hometown. did they kill city allows right now and we see the error. these bear up is sparrow targets. drew desert drew phrase of these one. raj of her do it. the russians need you. brainy, resolved your granules, and that's why they killed the people. the attacks come just a week after russia struck key for the 1st time in several months. d w correspondent, funny fact shar reported from the aftermath of one of the attacks its own clear

just how many people who mean trapped here. but one message is clear, hello. russia is not going to let go of attacking. he had to sit in a sense, civilian, elite, indiscriminate shelling 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 brutality of war rushing back to w, corresponding mateus spelling. i told us more about the attacks on ukraine's capital. 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. 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, or we've heard that these jones were flying towards the capital a several times. most of them have been intercepted by air defense. but as we see today, 40 miss 40 drones were launched today. and some of them it yet keep, or 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 do 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 martinez has been a week since russia started attacking cave and retaliation for the current straight bridge explosion. how prepared were people in the capital for something like this for something like that and drilling strike was saturday. everybody in ukraine

knows that anything can it at any time, but people of course had gotten used. keith hasn't been here for many months before last monday. so people had gotten used to that. some people here do not really believe that this is a pure retaliation 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 they might have. they might have launched, it may be or might, 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 isn't this. most people here are from vince, is something that russia had planned quite some time ago. and there has been some talk, the city administration, the institutions, 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 major road been being hit and it was filled up just 2 days. late martinez filling out with the latest from k a. thank you very much. ukraine says drowns, made in iran used and many of russians, recent attacks, terror on deny selling drones to russia. but analysts have evidence of a reigning 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. now they call it the moped for its loud crude, mechanical noise that can be heard from far away. the iran made sha head 136 drone, hear seen hovering over odessa. but it's no joke. these drones can have devastating

effects, though iran deny selling them to russia. kia says fragments of this drone shot down in southern ukraine, have iranian, as well as russian markings. the shower head is a series of drones made by a rod. the 136 has a wing span 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. i is the growth. mm. oh my, the m. and yet, the guy that he, russia flies them alone or in low altitude swarms, hoping that one or 2 will get through 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, but they will have to act fast. president zalinski claims that russia has ordered more than 2000 of the shop heads. earlier i spoke to like a franca, she's a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations in london and an expert on drones and artificial intelligence. i asked her why these kamikaze, drones are 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 in ukraine,

and i think that's exactly the message of russia wants to send it. so it's a tear, it's terrorizing the civilians and it's, it's destroying the civilian infrastructure. and so and 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. 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 the listing missiles, anything else that russia has been used to, has, has been using to attack behind the, the front lines. and so rather can do this for 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 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 ukraine 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, but 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 going to need more of the 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 the system that only cost 20000 to the enemy . you can only do this for so long it 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, to tell and we can only speculate. so i think at this point, you can see that russia is mainly using the systems to terrorize the population to destroy or 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 war, although not the direct one. but of course, you know, you can use these systems also directly on the battle field attack trip formations, tanks, et cetera. 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 matter is if we really are talking about thousands and iran just keeps them coming and fresh,

i can throw them on to the battlefield. this. yeah, this may impact the work quite a bit. of course, you know, other elements are important to so let's not just focus on one to the system. 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. for me, we'll keep it's 3 nuclear power plants, operational until april of next year. german chancellor shows as the economy, environment, and finance ministries to create the legal basis for the extension, germany and plan to phase out nuclear power by the end of 2022 entirely. the russian war in ukraine and the collapse of energy supplies. however, prompted the government to reconsider the plan dw, political correspondence. i'm young told us what's behind germany, sufficient to keep the nuclear plants on. 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 assure ensure that there is a significant reserve capacity available over the winter, particularly if, as he's expected, you know, there's a shortfall because of disruption to the gas supply. you know, that could be a shortfall in germany's energy provision. so this is said 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 a continuation for a short time if 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. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world to day, a russian fighter plane has crashed into a residential building in a town in southern russia, causing a police that engulfed several floors. local media say at least 4 people are dead. rushes defense ministry says the crush 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, controversial tax cut plans after they caused a p will in financial markets. sweeney. parliament has confirmed moderate party leader old chris harrison as prime minister. he will lead a 3 party minority coalition with the christian democrats and liberals. but the

block will rely on the support of the far right sweden. democrats who emerged as the 2nd largest party in elections for land will allow a number of afghans at risk of persecution to come to germany. the foreign and interior ministries announced that around $1000.00 afghans and their families will be granted entry. they include activists, journalists, and religious minorities. the you has announced sanctions on around security forces over the death of the 22 year old woman. gina ma saw me last month and the repression of subsequent anti government protests. you foreign ministers agree to target iran, so called morality police and whose hands many died, as well as a cabinet minister overseeing internet blockages. the named officials will be subject to e visa bands and asset freezes. support for the protesters and condemnation of the brutal crack down the u. diplomats gathered in luxembourg to send a strong message to iran's leadership. today a we are making

a clean that out. we are taking those responsible use brute force against their citizens against women against men, against teenagers. ah, just because they want to live their life as we do, and freedom and peace for more than a month. now iran's leaders have struggled to contain protests, sparked by the death of gena master armine after she was arrested by the so called morality police. the protest quickly morphed into anti government demonstrations, act of his say some 200 people have been killed. announcing the new sanctions, the use foreign policy chief called on the round to end the violence. adding that if necessary, the block will go further. the concert adopted to day restrictive measures against 11 individuals on 4 entities targeting those

link to the death or miesha mini and to the repression of peaceful protest dish. and you've needed. we have ready to add more names to this latest. iran has vowed an immediate response to the new sanctions. in warner, after such rostrum by his behavior is unacceptable. it's meddling and our domestic affairs should animals. we don't accept this julius hold on with out of order to shut him us only. as politicians trade accusations protestors like these students and centrally run, continue venting the anger at the authorities who seem unwilling to listen. so will the e u. sanctions be effective? i put that question to gay. so nia, she's the director of the atlantic council strategic litigation project. which is focused on accountability for human rights violations. 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 touch set 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 lever, if you would like the international community to pull to hold the iranian government accountable? yes, there's a lot that the international community can be doing right now and but 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 in 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 report on the situation. so that is something that the international community and un member states can do today if they wanted to. an 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 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 of the islamic republic. that 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 individual who are implicated in these violations in harbor. it's possible 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 what canada has done, they recently passed legislation that allows for that repurposing of assets. keith

only enter at our of the atlanta cancel strategic litigation project there. one of the world's leading global health conferences is underway here in berlin. the world health summit is an annual event that focuses on urgent issues in health care. one of them finding a tiny pass that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. they may be tiny, but they kill more humans every year than any other animal on the planet. by some estimates around a 1000000 people annually die from the pathogens that mosquitoes can transmit and around half or more of those deaths are directly linked to one illness in particular. malaria, which is caused by a parasite that multiplies in red blood cells. the blood sucking insects that can carry the disease have so far been limited by temperature and conditions to a wide band spanning the tropics world wide. many scientists believe climate change

is now causing that band to widen. the vast majority of malaria cases occur in sub saharan africa where the disease is particularly devastating for young children. a lot of progress has been made in the fight against malaria here in the last couple of decades. much of it due to the distribution of mosquito nets and the targeted use of insecticides. but there's still a long way to go in places like this lake region in kenya. the of the coast of treating malaria is very high. go to the hospital and they tell you there's no medication. so you have to go and buy it at the canister, and you don't have enough money. most of us simply can pay the price in some hordes of pakistan. malaria has also historically been an ongoing problem, but the recent calamitous flooding caused by heavy monsoon rains and melting glaciers and the region has led to a spike and cases of the disease. as flood orders were, see they provide

a perfect environment for disease carrying mosquitoes to breed. last year, the w h o estimated malaria caused around 800 deaths in the country. this year it will likely be many more due to financial, a rise in waterfall disease like malaria, gastro, i'm doing. most of the bishop or children are pregnant of women. medications can help treat the disease, but the long term goal is to develop good vaccines for malaria. so far, just one has been endorsed by the w h o, but it's less effective than many experts. what like, more promising candidates are in the pipeline, however, and could be rolled out his early his next year. and finally, spectacular scenes unfold and to day when a trail left by bass jump, leds and frederick slogan, spread their wings above the famous taj mahal in india. reaching speeds of

a 150 kilometers per hour of the sky diver is in their wing soon still towards the famous unesco world. heritage site, the eminent reverse stretching below them. and they arrived with a soft landing. and he has a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you tonight. kim says at least 6 people have been killed and fresh drone attacks that struck the ukrainian capital and the eastern stormy region. early on monday, power is out and hundreds of towns the strikes come a week after russia launched a nation wide air offensive. they with us now after a short break, i'll be back to take you through with with
