ah ah this is dw use life from berlin. renewed russian strikes are reported against several cities across ukraine, key and sure to we are among the cities targeted. the white house is a pool, hope russian accountable old war crimes, off the russian drone re tank skills. at least 7 people a day earlier will back tracking germany decides to extend the lifespan of another

of its last. usually a power plant says the energy crisis is a brief think about supplies instead of $23.00 power plants will now stay on the line until april next year. and real madrid, carlene bates about winds footballs, prestigious, all door ending viola mess these donation at the top of board. we've been surprised goes to pos loan as an example. tie us for the 2nd strike here. ah, i'm paid for sewland. welcome. russia has carried out more strikes against keith. this time apparently targeting energy infrastructure to stay strikes, hit an unspecified energy facility in northern keep witnesses say they saw smoke rising into the sky. no casualty details have been reported. green says roger also hit power facilities in other cities across the crate as follows,

mondays wave of deadly drones strikes which targeted the capital and cities in the eastern swear region. ah, a team of journalists insecurity guns run for cover. they've spotted a drone overhead. antiaircraft batteries tried to shoot it down before it can strike but it's too late. or with oliver. this is the destruction the drones left behind. one side of an apartment block, reduced to rubble. among those killed in the attack, was a pregnant woman. a week after russia renewed its attacks on the capital, the air strikes have already become a new normal for some key residence. but

a simple and you'll, a blog shall last monday was scary this week, but now it's like we're used to has lung air rates every day. so you wake up, look at social media to see what's going on. and so this morning we woke up and after 10 minutes or so of alarm, we heard the 1st explosion, well, of the reward, the shoulder and life in the capital goes on despite the looming threat on their butcher wise live void. you think it out. i feel really bad. i have 2 children and i am morning started very loudly numbers because the area where we live in the train station was hit because a lot of wood was pretty close out of water. but after the air was finished, i had to go to my job this, mr. allen, i believe that said, i tried to my work, but there was an air raid, again, that is the washer. so i'm trying to stay close to a shelter, but i'm still outside. so it's been

a while. while previous russian attacks on keith were mostly missile strikes. this latest assault was carried out by what appeared to be iranian made so called kamikaze drones. in his nightly arrest, the ukrainian president followed him as the lensky said, the ukrainian army managed to shoot down 37 of the drains hills mission. and that aside from the capital of $25.00, other areas of the country were hit. iran has denied supplying drains to russia, but cools of mounted for sanctions. while protestors gathered outside tyranny and embassy and keep for a silent vigil to make clear who they hold accountable for the strikes that have brought back fear to their city. dw mathias bellinger is in keith. i asked him for the latest from the capital. yeah, it's just not long ago. another object has been hit another

power plant. so that was that was providing heating to the city. we heard that 3 rockets have hid that. not drove this time, but rockets, but that pretty much is what we've seen throughout the past few days. that brokers and jones were directed at civilian infrastructure here in ukraine and in the capital of q. how does today compared to yesterday's method strikes on key bent and other parts of it besides the fact that yesterday was jones and today rockets. it pretty much the same pattern. yesterday's drone flew into a residential building, but that residential building was just next to a power station. and today was again a power station. we also just heard news from the 3rd attack on as it told me in the city, not far from here about 100 kilometers to the west. there again,

power station has been hit. and yesterday's attacks that were carried out by we've heard more than 40 drones, but also a number of rockets also targeted similar objects throughout the whole country. so it's very clear that russia is trying to destroy the power infrastructure and the heating infrastructure before winter. so something i guess, to, to effect morale against the people is that, is that what's happening here? that seems to be the objective to weaken the country to weaken the economy, to weaken people of spirit that not really working. people are more determined to resist russia if they perceive it as, as cruel as they have since the beginning of the war, extra ordinary, cruel. but this is the calculation. this is the pattern that russian warfare has established throughout the put in years. if you look at syria,

if you look at church, you know, it's a war on the civil population in order to break the spirit. the other reason might be that this is targeted. maybe the message is targeted. ad rushes hardliners who have been very unhappy with the performance of the russian army and putting seems to be selling the strikes and civilian as something that russia is doing to advance its cause its cause to occupy ukraine or destroy the current state of ukraine. and why it's doing well on the battlefield. strategically or tactically, there isn't much use in that. it doesn't really weaken ukraine's ministry in a significant way. but it creates the images that these people have been longing for. the latest developments on the russian war and ukraine, there from mathias filling out corresponding to in keith. thank you. more than

200000 men, some with their families have fled russia since president vladimir putin announced a partial military mobilization. last month, many travelled over the land waiting in kilometers long lines of traffic at the borders of neighboring countries like kazakstan, georgia, and finland. some of made their way to germany. officials here have said they won't make it easier for those who've been called out for military service to find asylum on for other men and women who might expect draft notices in the future. finding a way to stay in germany isn't easy. maria calls this car her savior. but when vladimir putin announced a partial mobilization on september 21st, maria her husband and their 2 kids left everything behind and drove to finland, fleeing the draft station. i was scared new. i was shaken from that moment from the evening of the 21st until we stepped into finished territory. you're up to

that point. i was insanely uncared so that i am an interval of isms rational. maria is not here real name. she also doesn't want us to show her face. she worked as a doctor in moscow hospital. she and her husband, i was eligible for military service. they cannot imagine taking part in the war against ukraine, where they have relatives. they decided not to wait. woodruff notices to arrive yet at the hotel. by from the moment you get a draft notice of leading would mean deserting them. and you most likely will be even allowed to cross the border where on either at the airport nor by car by so we decided we couldn't wait for draft notices. we have children, and we had to rescue every one i somehow philip corsica also left rush after mobilization was announced. he was going to go on vacation to europe at the end of september anyway. but after put in speech, he decided not to wait. a crucial decision. also researches,

finland closed its borders. foot 2 is from russia. authorities led him over the border after some pointed questions lightens with a home visit some letters on the receipt choice. do you know that mobilization has begun in russia? do you know about criminal responsibility? is we? are you eligible for military service? when did you get your tickets off? when are you going back? it only lasted a couple of minutes, but it seemed endless because you don't know what can happen any moment. being his national, it was, it was on the most pivotal. only after crossing the finish border could both maria and philip bruce a sigh of relief. both had it for germany, not least because of the promises of german politicians to protect deserters and draft dodgers from russia. casala stumbled at bringing mighty germany said it would accept those who are fleeing mobilization battle and the fiends. on the contrary, said that they didn't want any one mug, so we couldn't stay there. no, well anyway, we have some friends here. now who know the language i have and can help us. not

only as is the form back i thought i'm on with the model number much, but getting political asylum in germany for people fleeing they dropped in russia is not an easy task. says elena, so gave up for berlin based and g o. the risk of being rejected is high. she and her colleagues, i have sent an open letter to german authorities asking to ease the conditions for those who don't want to serve in the russian army. my boys, him all we asked for simplification of application rules, documented charin visas because now it's a very complicated process and one can apply only after having proved and political persecution. and of course we asked for simplified asylum for those waiters, hobos, pollutants regime. what is room? but before the rules are ease, philip and maria are trying to find other ways of staying in germany. like applying for a work or student visa. they say going back to russia is not an option for them.

i for some other stories making use around the world state control media in russia report that the death toll in a warplane crash has risen to 13 a russian fight it did before. the crushed into a residential building in the port town of the ice near ukraine. setting the structural blades rushes defense ministry says the crash was caused by an engine fire. australia has reversed a previous government's recognition of west jerusalem as israel's capital. foreign minister, penny wong said the city status should be decided through peace talks. israel slammed campers move in a tweet. prime minister. yeah, le pete said it was a hasty response. asians, a protesting against the u. s. in canada, sending supplies to combat powerful gangs. taking control of the main port and halted food transporter made an outbreak of cholera demonstrate as a foreign interference, will only cause more chaos in haiti. in a change of plan,

germany will keep all 3 of its last operational nuclear power plants online until april, next year. germany had planned to phase out euclid power by the end of this year. russia's war and ukraine and the collapse of energy supplies have seen the government reconsider the plant. a political correspondent to raise a trumpet, told me why germany is keeping old for you remaining nuclear plants on stand by until next april, after they'd already worked out, the 2 would be enough. that's what her germany is. energy minister rollback harvick said, saying m along with his an environmentalist greens that it wouldn't make any sense to keep the 3rd one as well. not economically and not environmentally either. birds and german finance minister lintner and his party, the free democrats didn't agree they wanted to keep all 3 of them for even longer period of time, potentially even a definitely. so with his coalition government split them, german chancellor will have shawls had to make the decision at

a time where due to the warrant ukraine, and the gas supply cut from russia. many germans are facing fears of too little energy or too little heating over the european winter that's coming up now. so in the last couple of weeks, public opinion has shifted a bit and even climate activist, great at 2 in burg, just recently said that she thinks it's a bad idea to turn off the nuclear power plants that are already running and rely on more planet heating coal instead, and so they're now staying on the grid during this winter to secure energy supply at times of high electricity demand, and to avoid blackouts. but why is it so controversial amongst germans? they're having to war 3. power plants are powered by nuclear about while it's inconsistent with the decisions made by previous german governments and all of them have committed to that their transition to safe and renewable energy.

and that's a decision that was backed by the majority of german spec, then, and experts argue the facts have not changed. nuclear power and nuclear power plants remain a high risk technology. greenpeace, for example, says that, especially in times where european critical infrastructure is attacked. nuclear power panel and suppose a very high risk, let alone the fact that there's still no solution to what will happen to the nuclear waste these plans produce. and that's also why the german green party refuses to extend the life span of these nuclear power plants. and beyond april 23 . so next spring. so if all actually wants to avoid further rift within his coalition government, you will have to come up with a long term plan to secure germany's energy supply after april 23. thank you very much for the analysis to raise the trouble for us. thank you. the european union has announced sanctions against members of around security

forces over its violent crack down in response to month long protests. it was parked by the death in custody of 22 year old martha meet. she was detained for breaching laws relating to a run strict dress code. the protestors who range from school children to oil workers or fuel rage, but also hope among iranians at home and abroad. the w corresponded sonya finally coming to arrangements in exile impairs marble. b, muradi isn't really an activist embarrass. she says almost every demonstration in the french capital to show support for people risking the lights in iraq for weeks that have been protest there over the debt of gina martha amena, who died in police custody in that on like her. my bobby was also arrested, but the iranian morality police for allegedly, by leading strict rules requiring women to cover the hair with the headscarf. but unlike many,

she survived growing anger at the 22 year old step is why so many iranians are defined a deadly cracked on by authorities. hey, i heard that the message of iranian, and they say, it's not important how much people were, will killed. we have to continue, we had the time after their slumming public. it took to cry for them. but now we have to keep our anger in calf the conservative to put an end and his lung republic . oh, the protests have spread to cedrin radiant cities. marble be says, even people fearful of taking to the streets have devised ways to resist. for example, they are in their car. so at 1st day, a band is threats to prevent the forest cut the people. the other is to blowing the han and continuously at the other going from the half of the house to from the

windows. yeah. for example, they say they're not the dictator. now we don't want to slumber populate republic this protest song, but oh ye, which means for impulsion has become a soundtrack to the civil unrest. it's taken from messages posted online by ordinary iranians voicing the anger. or the song has special meaning for a son who sins ivy. the lawyer fled to franz from iran 4 years ago, after facing threats for his work on human rights, his drumming up support to build an international case against the iranian governments. human rights violations, legal hope, something is on. so this video was filled in there on october 12th. he's extremely concerned about the reported arrests of health and protest when you get

arrested there. so we're kind of risk that you will face. first of all, you will not have access to the lawyer of your choice. the 2nd is torture. they don't need the risk of to being tortured. other is the, the face is forced, confession force can fish, and they put people in front of the tv national tv. they don't have any choice. they say either who confess in front of the tv or the even torture you for iranian exile like these in paris. the hope is that france can help put pressure on the regiment there on to in the bloodshed chinese communist party congress is meeting in beijing. this week where it's likely to confirm teaching ping for a 3rd time as liter. she's absolute control of chinese politics is grown. comparisons to mounted on government has seen protest, rare in china,

again fits 0 covered policy. chinese economy is also struggling. pandemic restrictions and sanctions from the west. despite the gathering storm clouds she, jim ping has shown no signs changing his foreign or domestic policies. our general case, i have to call for is a member of the european parliament for the green party and chair of the european parliaments, china delegation. i asked him if she, jim beings opening remarks of increasing chinese power to shape the world. a cause for concern was obviously a guy that showed us leadership, is that a more self confident that they have been in many years and indeed just to leverage has grown with different policies like the belt and road, for instance. but i would not agree with colleen. i sign

onto, she's description of the overall situation because john has also been losing quite a lot on maybe in france. it may not be that much of a concern to the chinese communist leaders that they are going down the drain as far as public opinion around europe is concerned. but also in some countries of the global south, notably including in africa, there are question marks about the real intention of china's income on it. policies that you had not seen a couple years ago. so what makes picture, and i think effectively he's aggressive on policy, is on the cotton and on progress, a leading world power. what about china's tacit support of russia's invasion of ukraine, though it's threats towards ty, one and,

and its attitude towards human rights in hong kong. and it's treatments of the week of minority that certainly worse and do you china relations in recent years? how should the e u be reacting to that? well, differently, you institutions have been war less outspoken on all these issues. i will claim that the european parliament has been a leader, invoicing, criticism, or of race all the issues. and in those several resolutions of the european parliament that have found overwhelming support only left when right wing extremists of the center of decision commission, if you look carefully, is also in, for instance, the economic relationship with pow wow. as is germany to say one member state.

so there are changes of developing and i think there's more where is a round europe today. i'm more cohesion also on that basis that china is person threats to our values on interest and on the way of life. and increasingly, a willingness to also address that. so for instance, in the human rights council of the united nations, we lost those all were having a debate about the human rights high commissioners report on john bonham. one has not been commented, a law was the fact that this was the 1st time ever european countries and like minded partners, even trying to load on china's human rights record. so increasingly, we're standing up for what we believe. ok, let's see what happens. and hopefully there is some movement from europe side i not

booted offer member of the european parliament for the green party and chair of the european parliament china delegation. thank you very much. have a good day. finally, some sport where the world's best football players have been crowned at the balance 2 awards in paris. the women's prize went to spain's alexia will tie us for the 2nd year in a row. she was the top scorer for spanish title when it's barcelona, who are also champions league runners up last season. the men's bound door was awarded to frances caffeine, benjamin who scored 44 goals in 46 matches for real madrid, helping the clump when the champions league and the legal and we have mark meadows here from d. w. sports to bring us all the gossip from one of sports most glittering award ceremonies. so the 1st of all where it was little messy. yes. well, he's won the last 2 editions. there was a bit of controversy about him winning last year because people for he didn't really deserve it. at the last 13 editions of this award,

linelle messy and christian or an elder of 12 of them. well, the only of a man over then bends them to win was look motors to that shows you how well been simmers done. i mean, obviously he's from real madrid, but he's friends. there was a big crowd out in paris last night in the rain waiting for him, and he really does deserve it this time. he really does. i mean, just carry that real much inside of the champions league to another. the league title, he's help the young players around embed in and at $34.00 re sort of blossoming when many players will be looking at retiring. your manet, of synagogue with 2nd, he led senegal to the african nations called title. and there was a change in format it yet slightly because of the issue with messy last year. they change the voting a little bit. they felt people, the people in jerry bit to starstruck last year and not just that they also changed the time span before it used to be a calendar year. but now it's about the previous season. so this was about the 202122 season. that's why the wilcox coming up in qatar will be part of the 2023

voting. now one big event this year was the women's euros, which was won by england. so the fact that alexia protest worn the award for women despite being out of the women's euros with injury, was a bit of a surprise. but then again, when we look at what she did for barcelona, they weren't all 30 of their spanish league matches. that's quite incredible. so in a way it's, it's hard to argue again, that's a great run. what else caught your eye as well? gillian and pappy was there the parasol man striker. and he was booed by some of the people waiting outside because there's a lot of debate about whether he might want to leave paris sanction man. again. gabby, one, the young player was that was a bit of a surprise before you. bellingham, or jim marcial or by and mike when it and then and a shift jenko. he was the keynote speaker, basically the ukraine legend in football. and he basically got some tears flowing. he said, i am so proud of how my country defends and fights for their freedom. it's very important to remember the war is still going on. and that really resonated with

everyone in the whole in paris last night, or to fish or mark better is thank you very much for bringing us up to date. and now you're off stage on all the sports and use up next is eco africa, my big fizzle. and i'll be back next hour by ah ah, with
