ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. another wave of russian strikes targets, ukraine's energy infrastructure. power is knocked out the capital key and many other cities and towns. president zelinski says moscow wants to terrorize and kill

civilians. also coming up the german government sax, it's cyber security, chief of a possible ties to russian intelligence. germany's interior ministry says the allegations against honor shown bomb pass permanently damaged public confidence. class and exclusive look inside congos dangerous gold mines, were a violent rebel cruise poles. the wealth of the nation in its hats. ah, i'm good. how else as well come to the program? ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says russian attacks have destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's power network authorities asking people to save energy as winter approaches. moscow has renewed its assault, striking power facilities and the capital key of and across the country.

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 risk not to didn't move for us. we live camp at quarter to 2 in the morning because of a very loud explosion. it's impossible to describe 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, rush conducted junior 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 at any bullshit of the words, did the russians get pleasure from us, feeling bad, boucher to those 3 of them? will they feel pleased? don't you? her job is to really, i think they want us to bomb and shell their building. and so on. e 3, i live her, but we won't that mom. so we can show that we're different from that. would you let the worst boy at least shut psyche civilian residences aren't the only buildings targeted by the kremlin? russian forces also seem 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 11 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. are corresponding but he has

berlin and keith told me more about the latest and strikes yeah, again, a tax on several parts of ukraine. no. don't ably. the places that have been hit very often like collide, which is near the front lines, but also again on the capital. another power station there hit. so these attacks are killing targeting energy infrastructure. this is the same pattern as last week where rockets and now or so, drones 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 just 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 are important station was hit and 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 a, 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 there 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, as billing or in a key of their for us the head of germany's cyber security agency has been fired from his job after reports alleging he had inappropriate links to russia. the interior minister says aren't shown bomb damaged,

public confidence in his neutrality and impartiality. recent reports say he founded a security group with ties to russian intelligence. sharon bore, became head of germany. cybersecurity agency in 2016 is our 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 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, 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 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 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, there is 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

political correspondence. simon young, we're thank you. so let's have a look now. some of the other news related to the war and ukraine. danish, please say last month, not stream gas pipeline leak, were caused by powerful explosions. at least 50 meters of the baltic pipeline is missing. investigators believe it was sabotaged. state media in russia say the death toll and a war plane crash has risen to 14. a fighter jet plowed into an apartment building in the port city of yas, near ukraine. defense ministry says an engine fire caused the crash. thousands of people have taken part in demonstrations and a nationwide strike and france, they are demanding higher salaries to contract. high inflation, industrial action has disrupted oil refineries and fuel supplies. australia has reversed the previous governments recognition of west jerusalem as israel's

capital. foreign minister penny wong says the cities status should be decided by peace talks. israel's prime minister jeril appeared and says it's a hasty response. a climber from iran who competed without wearing the mandatory he job has allegedly apologized. and as recovery says, her headscarf came off accident during an event in south korea rights activists now fear for her safety. her instagram accounts claims. she's going home on a pre arranged schedule, and to government protests in iran. and now in their 5th week, the gene shy is an activist for women's rights. i asked her about the claim that owners were kawisi 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 they win and government has been doing. but from her message is really interesting that the lines are really written interestingly. so 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 duress. 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 and in the last for 24 hours they've been trying to find out what happened to her and the movement that started, i was fascinating because this is the 1st time a female athletes decided to go back up there. such an act. there's been 2 other incidents similar acts that happened before in years before, but none of them is state and you know, we'd, we'd in the compartments of the country,

they decided from the moment they've done it. they decided to go abroad and not stay in iran, but for us this was a pre plan decision. and she, she told her friend beforehand that she, she will do this. and she will go back to ron. 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 physical way, go to the airport and take to the streets ledger she car. thank you very much for joining us. you know, the w news. a europe union has announced sanctions against members of iran, security forces over there, violent crushing of dissent in response to those months long protest. we've just been hearing about a broad range of people from school children to oil workers have joined those

protests. the movement reflects the hopes and fears of iranians at home and abroad, to arrange loans and exiles, spoke with deed abuse. sonya phonic up in paris. marble be muradi, isn't really an activist in paris. she's at almost every demonstration in the french capital to show support for people risking the lights in iran for weeks that have been protest there over the death of gina massa, a meaning who died in police custody in pet on like her mob will be, was also arrested, but the iranian morality police for allegedly, by leading strict rules requiring women to cover the hair with a headscarf. but unlike many, she survived growing angle at the 22 year old state is why so many iranians are defined a deadly cracked on by authorities. a 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 slamming public. it took to cry for them. but now we have to keep our anger and cast 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 hon. a man continuously at the other going from the half of the house to from the windows. yeah. for example, they say no to 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 and human rights, his drumming up support to build an international case against the iranian governments, human rights violations, era. neither of those something is senses. this video was filled in there on october 12th, he's extremely concerned about the reported arrests of thousands of protesters. when you get arrested, there are several 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, did and they do risk of being tortured. other is the, the, the, the,

the phase is forced confession force confession, the put people in front of the tv national tv. they don't have any choice. they say, i have to confess in front of the tv, or the even torture you for iranian exiles like these in paris. the hope is that france can help put pressure on the regime and they're on to in the blood ship to congo now, but is home so minds containing some of the purest gold in the world. consumers and rich countries are prepared to pay high prices for that precious metal, but the miners who extract the gold are paying a very different price. extortion and rights abuses are wide spread in mines controlled by violent rebel group access for foreign journalists as been restricted until now in a joint investigation with the german magazine there should be good. t w's

corresponded by a miller has been inside to rebel controlled gold mines. this gold may gleam brightly, but it is stained red with blood. people likely died for this precious metal destined for the rich world's finest jewelry. the democratic republic of the congo has some of the purest gold in the world. but experts say almost all of it is smuggled out of the country illegally. that often means links to armed groups and human rights abuses. it all starts here in suffocating lea, 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. even now their bodies are still inside. when i was sad both really down, then it was nice, but i can't be sad for long. i have to earn a living. i then it was nice and i do my eyes and stuff. and on top of that, this mine is controlled by an armed group, the my, my, yeah, catawba, according to a recent un report, the rebels demand what they called 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 are never, far, even now they're hiding further up the mountain because they were informed we were

coming. this is the 1st time journalist have access this mine. both the my, my yahoo! tomba and local government officials declined our interview requests. it's widely known that the rebels often work together with local authorities and even share profits with them. but with the money they also fine and brutal attacks on an ethnic group who they see as their main enemy. the my, my claim, the bonham will langer dont 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 7 had thought rescue. 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 there 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 that safe? sheltering at a friend's house. rebel control of the mines 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 war coming to work here. we will, they will try and trace how is going on, and maybe it will help. i hope it will help, but ensuring authenticity will be difficult. traitors tell us, they fake certificates to hide. the real origin of the gold is done under who can

only appeal for an end to the trade and blood. i can, i mean us. yeah. but i, my, my go to white people to buy weapons. so that is why i sell the gold i live, you know, is i want to tell people to stop buying from them. so they don't kill us, will least. what is the it is a simple equation as long as groups can re, profits from gold mining, they will keep earning the cash to kill that report from our correspondence mario miller. now congress, as we've had rigid mineral reserve, it is people are among the world's poorest, spoke about this disparity with as flaw and go look here. he's an activist with luke up, a non violent movement and congo that compliance with social justice and human rights. be between them already or come with these people and then

virus cause the virus or the main reason of the virus long haul and the mineral resources, or d. s e, cause the majority of those resources are controlled by billions, controlled by people or supported by a e commerce army and others by foreign countries like some neighbors, like one movie and yeah, all those neighbors countries 40 somebody billions and those are billions of killing people and they explained the ex boy, those i mean, you know, resources and the majority of these, i've never see even going by the out for the poor and that kids cause of guard. and

i mean, it was just like going on like to write it. 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 call the similar. why did it look like, i'll just see how i'm died. and another thing is to stop corruption, the majority of complete authority 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 with 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 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 to go by neighbors, by foreign countries and the international community. and another thing keys, there was one of the, of the cities, as 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 will basically think that the situation have 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 of 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. you're watching the w news coming up next and news asia,
