that his country holds the moral high ground. no matter how much suffering moscow piles on them. i told you that the words that the russians get pleasure from us feeling bad. you bullshit those 3 of them will. 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 it's, but we won't that mom. so we can show that we're different from them. that there were 2 boys at least shot 2nd 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 jetta, mia s drugs on the power plant there, left 11 settlements without power. while russia denies deliberately attacking civilians, it says its targeting ukraine's energy infrastructure. meaning millions could be

left to face. the coming winter without heat or power are corresponded. mathias billing. i and keith told me more about the latest air strikes. yeah. again, a tax on several parts of ukraine. no, notably the places that have been hit very often like the collide which is near the front lines, but also again on the capital another power station there had. so these attacks are killing targeting energy infrastructure. this is the same pattern as last week where rockets and now or so jones 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 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 bit more than 1000 settlements are without electricity at the moment, m zalinski 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 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 of 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 a, 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 there was where, where 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 a in a key of their for us turner, for some other news related to the war in ukraine. danish police say last month not

a headscarf came off by accident during an event in south korea rights activists now fear for safety. instagram account claims. she's going home on a pre arranged schedule, and government protests in iran on the 5th week. the gene. sure, a kite is an activist for women's rights. i asked her about the claim that own us were kawisi job, fell off by accident. oh, who 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, you kay? 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, 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 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 the last for 24 hours. they've been trying to find out what happened to her and the movement at that the started i was fascinating because this is the 1st time it 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 stay in iran, but for illness. this was a pre planned decision and she didn't. 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 things 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. world health organization says was on the pan damica harming women's and children's health policy summit is wrapping up here in berlin. the agency was poverty is increasing along with on great marriage, domestic violence and depression among young people. some 21000000 children worldwide were not properly vaccinated last year. global hunger is also getting worse. well, that's grim picture and for more on that, i'm joined by the epidemiologist cheek where your closet, he leads w h. chose open harmful pandemic and 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 then we're working very hard to address these challenges, not just here, but really around the world. now your goal as a leader is new w h l hub is to stop the next panoramic. before it strikes,

how are you going to do that? well, to 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 and 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 is, has the busy capabilities to respond so that it doesn't become a global outreach. so really, in addition to that technical expertise, a lot of global collaboration is needed in this one of those techniques of course, is sort of isolation and, and locked down and all that. do you think in your experience have these locked down to have that work? to have their place, but it's not something where anyone a boss is kino 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 the thing 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 our 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 possible. thank you very much for taking the time to joining us in the studio. and that's it from me and the news team from now don't go away. next stop is a d w documentary on how internet tokens have changed the art as in berlin, thanks for the interest in the global economy, our portfolio w business. beyond here, the closer look.
