read her her master's thesis on for potato, raring to read a turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from their d w literature list under german monk street. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. another wave of russian stripes targets ukraine's energy infrastructure. power is knocked out of the capital, keith, and many other towns and cities. president lensky says moscow wants to terrorize and kill civilians. also coming up,

the german government sack said cyber security chief over possible ties to russian intelligence. germany's interior ministry says the allegations against arno shouldn't vaughn, as permanently damaged public confidence and an exclusive look and so inside congos dangerous goldmine for a violent rebel group holds the wealth of a nation in its hat. plaza, staggering black back slide in women's and children's health. the world health organization wants have conflict cove. it 19 and climate change. i have a devastating impact. ah, i'm good. how else? as welcome to the program? president vladimir zalinski says russian attacks of destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's power network. authorities are asking people to save energy as

winter approaches. moscow has renewed its assault striking power facilities in the capital key if and across the nation. officials in the southern ukrainian city of mc alive, pull a man's body from the rubble. a russian missa killed him as he hid in the basement . his shock neighbor recalls the moment of impact crisp, with knots, it did not move for us. we was up at quarter to 2 in the morning because of a very loud explosion. it's impossible to describe the foot to so much dust. we were in the basement. we crawled out through openings in the ground, and neva died. unfortunately, he was a bit closer to the e p center while we were a bit farther away listen to rush conditions for many ukrainians. the

past 8 months have been a seemingly endless series of horrors. but one resident took comfort and the belief that his country holds the moral high ground. no matter how much suffering moscow piles on them. i told you that the words did the russians get pleasure from us, feeling bad, boucher to those 3 of them will. they feel pleased when you cried, job is to really, i think they want us to bomb and shell, their buildings and so on. e. 3, live her. but we won't that mom. so we can show that we're different from them. that there were still boy at lee shots that civilian residences aren't the only buildings targeted by the kremlin. russian forces also seemed determined to knock out the country's energy grid. according to the mayor of the city of shamir airstrikes on the power plant there, left 11th settlements without power. while russia denies deliberately attacking

civilians, it says it's targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. meaning millions could be left to face the coming winter without heat or power. and our correspond mathias bellinger in keith told me more about the latest air strikes. yeah. again, a tax on several parts of ukraine. no. don't ably. the places that have been hit very often like nikolai, which is near the front lines, but also again on the capital, another power station, their heat. so these attacks are killing targeting energy infrastructure. this is the same pattern as last week where rockets and now or so at jones or were shot at or with were fired at a critical infrastructure in order to a make the situation more difficult with the upcoming winter heating

electricity in the country. basically, to make my life more difficult for the civilians here in the country. now it president zalinski says a one 3rd of ukraine's power. great is out. i'll badly is that disrupting a daily life of ordinary people where you are? so we have heard that j 1000 settlements a little more than 1000 settlements are without electricity at the moment, m zelinski has said one 3rd of the power generating facilities are out not one 3rd of the grid. that's a slight difference because the grid might be able to they, there are back up schemes for if parts of the grip are out of power or if the supply is cut at some points. so to some extent, ukraine is able to a balance out the damage and to supply power here and key. for example, when last week one, a import power station was hit or we had outages of power. we had

controlled outages of power when the grid is switched off in certain areas of the city in order to lower it to the capacity or the, the in energy needs of the, of the grid. but are we are still, this was quickly repaired and we are seeing that in most places electricity can be quickly repaired. the same is true for the she told me region where that was, where were several hospitals were off power and we're hearing they are at on the grid again. but of course the more facilities are damaged. the infrastructure is damaged, the more difficult it will be to balance them out. thank you very much. marty has building a in a key of their for us the head of germany is cyber

security agency has been fired from his job off reports alleging he had inappropriate links to russia. the interior ministry, a says ana, shown born damaged, public confidence in his neutrality. and impartiality recent report say he founded a security group with ties to russian intelligence should born became head of germany cybersecurity agency, in its 2060 sr political correspondent, simon young, recounting the events that led to his dismissal yoga. while the extraordinary things about this is that these allegations really put together by a humorous tv show on the public said the f channel. and their investigation essentially. yeah. claimed that an organization called cyber security. germany that was founded by, on a shirt bone,

had to close links to russia. now this is a sort of informal grouping, but with some fairly senior people in it and, and lots of businesses that were affiliated. and they were also providing advice to politicians and public officials and businesses about our i t and cyber security standards. so the allegation is, for instance, that one of the member companies of this, of this grouping are ultimately had to had links with a, a k g b officer decorated by vladimir putin. and there's a series of other, awkward looking links between the personnel of this group founded as i say, by ana, shown, boom, and death, and russia. it's a bit tortuous, it has to be said and complicated, but it's clearly not a bad, not a good look for the man he's supposed to be as sort of the top official protecting

germany's cyber security. is this assign, maybe, simon, that a general government is becoming slightly nervous about cyber attacks right now? well, i think they've been nervous for a while. i mean, the government says that so the number of cyber attacks against german german networks has been increasing year on year since 2005, it says the covering the whole range of things like a denial of service, but also attempts to spy on and steal public data and they say most of these attacks originate from russia, china and iran. they go that far. and it's pretty clear that have been some spectacular cyber attacks against, for instance, the servers of the buddhist. talk the german parliament, but also against justice authorities or against the health care system and indeed even energy networks. so particularly, i think in the context of the ukraine war and there's

a heightened concern right now. and so pets as part of the reason why this action has been taken to make sure there are no suspicious allegations hanging around with others political correspondent simon young wear. thank you, simon. let's have a look at some other news related to the war in ukraine. danish police say last month, not stream gas pipeline leaks were caused by quote, powerful explosions. it is 15 meters of the baltic pipeline is missing. investigators believe it was sabotage, state media and russia report that the death toll or the war plane crash has risen to 14. a fighter jet plowed into an apartment building in the port city of yes, can you ukraine? the defense ministry says an engine fire caused the crash. thousands of people have taken part in demonstrations and a nationwide strike in france. they're demanding higher salaries to counteract high

inflation. industrial action has disrupted oil refineries and fuel supplies. an iranian climber who competed without wearing the mandatory heat, allegedly apologized owners were carby, says, a headscarf came off by accident during an event in south korea rights activists fear for her safety. instagram account claims. she's going home on a pre arranged schedule, anti government protests in iran are now in the 5th week the genes, your archive is activists for women's rights and asked about the claim that owners were caught recoveries. the job fell off by accident. oh, we were actually expecting that we were expecting the security and intelligence services, putting pressure on her to publish something as a pattern they've been doing for the last 34 years. so every time there's something happening that they don't take rebate, one of the 1st steps they do,

they take over their social media and a post on their behalf. the next us that, that we are really worried about is when she gets back to route, which is midnight u. k. time. basically what happened is usually happening is she would be taken to the prison or somewhere in confinement. and they would question, have you know, already her brother has been arrested and have been questioning her brother, i'm putting pressure under on have family members to kind of force her and her family to come out and do tv false confessions. that's another trend that doing and government has been doing. but from her message is really interesting that the lines are really written. interestingly, that she doesn't apologize for it. she just says, oh, it's pill down by accident, which is which you read in social media activists. they all picked it up and they're talking about it. and everyone says, we know this,

this has been done under dress, so we don't actually judge you by days. and this has been a trend that's, that. pick up on social media at the moment, right. other than social media, do you have an idea how average people in iran are reacting to this? oh, there are calls for people to go to the airport and you know, when she arrives there are a lot of people calling the hotels in south korea trying in, in, in the last for 24 hours. they've been trying to find out what happened to her and the movement that is started. i was fascinating because this is the 1st time a female athletes decided to go back after such an act. there's been 2 other incidents and similar acts that happened before in years before, but none of them is state. and you know, within the confines of the country, they decided from the moment they've done it. they decided to go abroad and not

a stay in iran, but for illness. this was a pre planned decision, and she, she told her friend beforehand that she, she will do this and she will go back to run. that's why people are deciding to gather around her and make sure that what happens to her. it's not similar to a lot of other sad incidence that happened in iran, and they've been killed or in prison for a long time. and that sort of thing is that they want to support her and in a, in a physical way, go to the airport and take to the streets, legends, she car. thank you very much for joining us on the w. news. congo is home to mines, containing some of the purest gold in the world. consumers in rich countries are prepared to pay high prices for that precious metal. but the miners who extract the gold or paying a price of a very different kind. extortion and rights abuses are widespread in minds controlled by

a violent rebel group. access for foreign journalists has been restricted until now in a joint investigation with german magazine, their spirit vw, mario murder, has entered inside to rebel control gold mines. this gold may gleamed brightly, but a disdain. red with blood people likely died for this precious metal destined for the rich world's finest juries. the, the democratic republic of the congo has some of the purest gold in the world. but experts say almost all of it smuggled out of the country illegally. that often means links to armed groups and human rights abuses. it all starts here in suffocating li, hot tunnels that hit up to 40 degrees celsius. young man scrape out the gold bearing rock. they earn barely enough to survive on for fear of reprisals. this man

wants to remain anonymous. when you go to work, he just pray to god because we're feeling like it's a death sentence. often it is when the minds cave in 6 years ago, more than 20 people were buried alive. when i was there with my 3 brothers and other miners, all of them were trapped inside the mine. i mean, you know what, even now their bodies are still inside when i was sad both really down and it was nice but i can't be sad for long. i have to earn a living identical as nissan. i do new my eyes and stuff with them. and on top of that, this mine is controlled by an armed group, the my, my, yeah, catawba, according to a recent you and report, the rebels demand what they call taxes from each worker. it beat me up with an iron rod because i couldn't pay that tax. they threw me into a mud hole for days with no food. i was imprison there with 6 other people.

he lost 10 kilograms. he says other minors tell us similar stories. they say that my, my a never far, even now they're hiding further up the mountain because they were informed we were coming. this is the 1st time journalists have access. this mine the both the, my, my younger timber and local government officials declined our interview requests. it's widely known that the rebels often work together with local authorities and even shap profits with them. but with the money they also finance, brutal attacks on an ethnic group who they see as their main enemy. the my, my claim, the bunny lender don't belong to the d r c. so they burned down their villages, rape and kill. scores of people east and under were survived one of these attacks valid concern. they found us at the place where we had sought refuge and they killed 3 people that they murdered my father in law and injured

my mother in law night called me. both of them were over 80. she says she and her family were forced to march for days with no food. then they took her husband. she never saw him again. later, she learned he was hacked to death with a machete. they killed thousands displays hundreds. now is the safe sheltering at a friend's house. rebel control of the minds means conflict go. but that's not deterring this business man. the purity of the precious metal has convinced him soon he plans to open the 1st gold refinery in the country and export from d r. c to europe and america. at the moment we are discussing a lot with the government, they will check all art isn't well coming to work here. we will, they will try and trace how is going on, and maybe it will help. i hope it will. but ensuring authenticity will be difficult

. traitors tellers, de fake certificates to hide, the real origin of the gold is done and who are i can only appeal for an end to the trade and blood cold. i can a minute here when i hear them my, my cell go to white people to buy weapons. that is why they sell the gold i live, you know, is, are, and i want to tell these white people to stop buying from them. best buy. so they don't kill us release back in order for easter. it is a simple equation. as long as armed groups can re profit from gold mining, they will keep earning the cash to kill and from kinshasa now joined by s for our anger leukemia. the in active is with lou chubb, a non violent movement in congo that fights with social justice and human rights. welcome to d. w. a. news congo is a rich in mineral reserves, but it's people,

i'm all the poorest in the world. why? so i think the, i think it was from me and i think the, the, the league between the warranty or homeless people and the virus cause the virus or the, the man, the, the main reason of the virus is launch ha, and the mineral resources, or just a cause the majority of those resources are controlled by rebellion controlled by people or supported by some or story t y a and e r e commerce army and others. yes. appointed by foreign countries like some neighbors. like what movie your band i inside. yeah. all those neighbors countries 40 somebody billions and those are billions of killing people. and they explained that exploring those resources.

and the majority of these have never see even go by the out for the poor. and that kids cause of guards and other minorities was just like one like to right. and you know, so what can, what needs to be done to break that leg between golden violence. so the main thing that's have to be done is just for the jet skis, you can walk similar, why did it look like i just see how i'm died. and another thing is to stop corruption. the majority of come with corrupted and they can't fight against corruption by being corrupted themselves is and by protecting be a power by corruption and watch the fight for it gets corruption. the

fleet will be broken. and another thing is just to stop those at bands and how to stop to some of them, it's up to be stopped by war. and i do, you have to be stop by the problem i see. and others have to be so stop by, by the stop pose, that can be broken 2 or more by neighbors, by foreign countries and the international community. and another thing keys, there is one. so b of community citizen is we are, we have to be more demanding. we don't have to be pass like, you know, the majority. so from what is now there are very past due in the, as they were basically the think that the situation has to be like that bad for us. we trust that if those things can be done, this link can be broken and they put quite some neighbors have to be stop

and go look here. thank you very much for joining us on the w news. thank you so much. the world health organization says was under pandemic, are harming women and children's health. the policy summit is wrapping up here in the berlin today. the agency was poverty is increasing along with under age marriage, domestic violence, depression, and depression, among young people. some 21000000 children worldwide were not properly vaccinated last year. global hunger is also getting worse. now that's a grim picture. and for more on that, i'm joined by the epidemiologist, cheak way, a closet. he leads to w h o is open harmful pandemic. an epidemic intelligence here and berlin, welcome to the studio here. now, how is the corona pandemic actually developing? is there an end in sight? it's hard to say that there's an end inside. it also depends on how you define,

and many things are changing. the virus itself is evolving a new variance keep evolving. we are developing together with scientists around the world, new countermeasures, new vaccines, new therapeutics. so it's an ongoing battle and we are getting better at those issues and how to fight this virus with the various tools we have. we need people to be patient and to keep collaborating, cooperating with us through the time despite the difficulty so, so there may be need from time to time to change measures again. so we just have to accept that this is walk in progress. and there we're working very hard to address these challenges, not just here, but really around the world. now your goal as a leader of this new w h o hub is to stop the next panoramic before it strikes. how are you going to do that? well, the stop, we fundamentally believe that, you know, as much as the emergence of new infections maybe cannot to stop. the pandemic,

doesn't have to happen because there are various stages from prevention to detection and to respond. and to do that, we have to keep learning, making sure that we're using all the tools available in many other industries using all the other data sources. so the available, so the new hop for pandemic, an epidemic preparedness right here in berlin is really focused on developing new methods, landing from ourselves, from other data streams. making sure that we're in a better position to use data to predict, to be able to respond to new emerging infections these around the world. and even if we can stop it from appearing, we can make sure that we can find them early and make sure every country around the world. it has the busy capabilities to respond so that it doesn't become a global outreach. so really in addition to the technical expertise,

a lot of global collaboration is needed in this one of those techniques, of course, is sort of isolation and, and lockdown and all that. do you think in your experience how these locked down have they worked to have the place, but it's not something where any one of us is key know using again, right. we have to be very clear that this is not, was never recommended by a to any country, but you know, countries make their own decisions on what to do and we understand the local circumstances. but in addition to saying, listen, we shouldn't do x, y, that we have to be proactive in providing the alternative tools. both some that can be delivered by science, which we're working on together with that partners. but really building the trust, confidence, and the sense of collaboration around the world that list and we're in this together and actions taken in one part of the world might prevent consequences in another. and that really requires a global collaboration. and so the diety around this very challenging and space

cheap way. why? so? thank you very much for taking the time to joining us in the studio. it was cindy w. news. here's a remind of the top story. we're following for you. a new wave of russian as fried, says hip, the energy infrastructure of cities across ukraine. power was knocked out by rocket attacks on keith and they shit to my region. president savanski says russia as tara, arising and killing civilly that's it from me. anthony esteem, the fun, our next auth, football magazine. kickoff gab, office in berlin. export with ah, with

you a

ah ah ah. they are eternal dynamite and the pillar of sticks and society. a symbol of arbitrary rule. crucial tools in the struggle for justice. taxes the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of innovation status and their citizens. but what

happens when the power of taxation is undermined? a tax on top of the tax on top of the tax. that's the rule that broke the camel's bank. i've been rambling forever, thinking to myself, when is it all going to come crashing down you pay won't pay. taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w a .
