and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn shy map, and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that more to live and united this i have invited many deer and well, i guess. and i would like to invite you to an end. ah, ah ah, this is steve w, slide from berlin. another wave of russian strikes targets, ukraine's energy infrastructure. power is knocked out of the capital, keith, and many other towns and cities grants. president zalinski says moscow wants to terrorize and kill civilians. also coming up the german government sax,

it's cyber security chief over possible ties to russian intelligence. germany's interior ministry says the allegations against honor shown ball act permanently damaged public confident. ah, i'm gabelle as well come to the program. ukraine's president vladimir lansky says russian attacks have destroyed nearly a 3rd of ukraine's power at work authorities asking people to save energy as winter approaches. oscar has renewed its assault, striking power facilities in the capital, kia keith, and across the country. officials in the southern ukrainian city of mich alive, pull a man's body from the rubble. a russian missile killed him,

as he hid in the basement. his shock neighbor recalls the moment of impact respite, not to tidwell macpherson. we were camping quarter to 2 in the morning because of a very loud explosion. it's impossible to describe the whole 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, rush conducted chandel 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. the villages of the words to the russians get pleasure from us feeling bad, boucher, the lord g. i think the more they feel pleased when you,

her 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 them. wow. so we can show that we're different from that william did. there were 2 boys at lee shots, zacky 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. aka bonded, but his billing i and 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 mich alive, which is near the front lines, but also again on the capital. another power station near 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 we 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 savanski 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 bit 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 says light 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 point. 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, power 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 her to, to, to the capacity or the, the in energy needs of the, of the grid. but her,

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 billing in a key of their for us the head of germany is cyber security agency has been fired from his job after report the legit he had inappropriate links to russia. the interior minister says on the should bomb damaged, public confidence in his neutrality and impartiality. recent report say he founded a security group with ties to russian intelligence and bone became head of germany, cybersecurity agency in 2016. and he has our political correspondence, simon,

young, recounting the events that led to showing bob's dismissal yoga well, 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 they're 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, 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 cybersecurity standards. so the allegation is, for instance, that one of the member companies of this, of this grouping are ultimately had 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 cybersecurity is this assign. maybe, simon, that or the general government is, are 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 that 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 service of the buddhist target, 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 his political correspondence. simon young wear. thank you simon. let's have a brief look now at some of the other news related to the war and ukraine. authorities in russia say the death toll in the war plane crash has risen to 15. a

fighter jet plowed into an apartment building in the port city of yas, ukraine. defense ministry says an engine fire caused the crash. danish police say last month, nordstrom gas pipeline leaks, were caused by powerful explosions. at least 50 meters off the baltic pipeline is missing. investigators believe it was sabotage. and iranian climber who competed without wearing the mandatory, his job has allegedly apologized. alice ricardo says her headscarf came off by accident during a climbing event in south korea rights activists fear for her safety. now. instagram account claim she's going home on a pre arranged schedule. anti government protests in iran are now in the 5th week on the gene. sure tie is an active is for women's rights. and i asked her about the

claim. the uss recovery, c 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 all their social media and a post on their behalf. the next step that we are really worried about is when she gets back to route, which is midnight you pay time. basically what happened is usually happening is she would be taken to the prison or sub there 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 i do in

government has been doing. but from her message is really interesting that the lines are really written, interesting links to. she doesn't apologize for it. she just says, oh, it fell 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 on the address. so we don't actually judge you by this, and this has been a trend. that's that pickup 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 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 after 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, within the compartments of the country, they decided from the moment they've done it, they decided to go abroad and not to 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 incidents 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, legit she car. thank you very much for joining us. you know, the w news global leaders have pledged $2600000000.00
