i extension politics. it's october 21st, on the w. ah, this is the w use lie from berlin. renewed russian strikes target, ukraine's energy infrastructure. power is knocked out in the capital key and many other cities. president lensky says roger is carrying out the air attacks to terrorize and kill civilians and concerned over the whereabouts of been a rainy and competitive climate who took part in an event abroad without his job.

as a b is missing, since she left south korea or fears, she could have been forced to return to iran and face the morality police. ah, i'm been visible and welcome. russia has carried out more strikes against keith. this time apparently targeting energy infrastructure. tuesday strikes hidden unspecified energy facility and nolan. keith. witnesses say they saw smoke rising into the sky. no casualty details have been reported. great, says rush, also hit al facilities in other cities across ukraine. as follows. monday's wave of deadly drones strikes which targeted the capital and cities in the eastern sewer region. ah,

a team of journalists and security guards run for cover. ah, they've spotted a drone overhead. antiaircraft batteries tried to shoot it down before i can strike. but it's too late 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, bicycle and you'll a blog shall last monday was scary this week, but now it's like we're used to rehearse la air rates every day. like 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 say of alarm, we heard the 1st explosion while of the warrior for the full of good and life in the capital goes on despite the looming threat on their future lies avoid yet they, it all i feel really bad. i have 2 children in our morning started very loudly, almost because the area where we live in the train station was hit because a lot of what was pretty close out of water. but after the air raid 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. i'm trying to stay close to a shelter, but i'm still outside. so it's been a while. while previous ration 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

a lensky said, the ukrainian army managed to shoot down 37 of the drain social 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 pulled back 5th to their city. t w's mathias boating a's in keith. i asked him for the latest from the capital register and not long ago another object has been hit another power plant. so that was suppose that was providing heating to the city. um and so we heard that 3 rockets have hit that, not jos this time, but rockets, but that pretty much is what we've seen throughout the past few days that are

rockets and drones were directed at civilian infrastructure here in ukraine and in the capital of keith how does today compared to yesterday's message strikes on keith benton and the pontiff ok. besides the fact that yesterday was drones and to day rockets, it pretty much fits 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, i just heard news from a 3rd attack on, as you told me in the city, not far from here about 100 kilometers to the west. and there again, our 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 affect 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 peoples spirit. that's not really king. people are more determined to resist russia if they perceive it as a, as cruel as they have since the beginning of the war. extraordinary, the cruel. but i think this is the calculation. this is the pattern that russian warfare has established throughout the put in years a. if you look at syria, if you look at chechnya, 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 at russia's hardliners who have been very unhappy with the performance of the russian army and put in seems to

be selling these strikes on civilians as something bad russia is doing to advance. it's cause it's, it's cause to occupy ukraine or destroy the current state of ukraine. and while it's doing not well on the battlefield, strategically or, or tactically, there isn't much use in that. it doesn't really weaken ukraine's military in a significant way. but it creates the images that these people have been longing for a latest development. so g e are russian of war and ukraine. they're from mathias bowling al. corresponded to in kate. thank you. some other stories making use around the world. danish police said last month nord stream, gas pipeline leaks what caused by powerful explosions which did extensive damage for it shows at least 50 meters of the baltic pipeline is missing. the case is

government protests and ran into the 5th week. we can now talk to nick, keen, sheree. hi, an activist for women's rights. what more have you been hearing about this sports person's whereabouts following this event? so right after the game that confiscated her passport, mobile phones was impossible to actually be able to pinpoint where she they moved her from the hotel that they were saying actually the whole team, they moved the whole team from the hotel. but there's the source that says she's been moved to the region embassy. and so there's no way for us to confirm that. what we know that she decided to say do this. even before she went to south korea, there was a decision conscious decision that she pre planned and she told her friend before the sheep that she will. she wants to come back to your office is she? she will do this, but she will come back and face the consequences. so if there is

a possibility that she would go back, the thing is, i think they really government is really afraid of the campaign that has started right house to. but she to copper her job because people started saying we're going to go to the airport under upon their arrival. and we're going to have, have a protest. and this is what they did. and government doesn't want to happen as well as other consequences that she has to face then she, she goes back. what exactly, what could the consequences be if, if she returns imprisonment is, is on top of the list and there is no doubt she would. she won't be able to compete in any other competition inside the country and she will be disqualified from everything. in the former cases, most of the athlete who done this. there are a couple of cases illustrate done the same. they decided not to go back to because of the consequences. one of the other worries that for us is massive is the force

t competitions that they read in government been forcing on people. days. we've seen a new cases read. the recent case was for nick, eat me, call sha, carol's auntie and uncle. they've been tortured and forced to go on camera and talk about, you know, the case, not being real. and all of these people saying like that sort of things i'm, you're worried that will happen, the same will happen to and now as well. and, but i think she's a really brave go. and she decided this is actually wants to do. and because she decided she is going to face the consequences, newly thing we can do is supporting her again. sure. hi. thank you very much for telling us all about that. very interesting story. around that 22 more sports where the world's best football players every ground at the
