2:05 pm
the admittance by the kremlin that a war is raging. actually in these occupy territories, the criminal has avoided ah, the word war so far. but of course, the martial law means that this is now considered to be a war, at least on these territories. it does not necessarily mean that it's considered that the, the country itself is in the situation of a shame. mathias, we're also getting reports of explosions. there in the ukrainian capital where you are, are these explosions apparently happening just within the past hour? what can you tell us about what's happening there that we don't know yet what has been hit and or whether anything has been hit or of course. so when the air defenses shoot down a rocket, for example, there's also an explosion. but so what we've heard is that there's the

2:07 pm
admitting that things are difficult in that region. what do we know about the military situation there matures? while we've seen these are reports were by the command off of, of the operations in ukraine, the russian commander of the operations in ukraine, and also by these russian installed occupational authorities that there were expecting a counter attack. what exactly this means, whether they are planning to retreat from the territory, whether they're expecting fights is not clear. we've also heard about the plans to evacuate. people cause 1st to leave the region. and now with this, a marsh law, maybe even plans to forcibly evacuate to acknowledge that they are going to forcibly evacuate people from their because the accusations have been there for a long time that russia has been deporting people from occupy territories into
2:08 pm
russia, which would consist a walker and he has thank you very much, shar correspond mathias spelling of that in ukraine's capital kia while russia's assaults on civilian infrastructure across ukraine has left millions without basic essentials, like electricity, heat, and running water are corresponded. funny thought char went to the town of ukraine coll, 50 kilometers from kiya. it was hit by a power outage when russia struck energy facilities over a week ago. now people there are getting ready for more of the same. gladys love is proud of this wood stove. he built it during the war last week, yet to use it for the very 1st time. when i, when we were getting ready for winter, when we expected that there will be an outage at some point or shelly on critical infrastructure, claudio grammar, bloody slough, and his neighbors in clay ink on your key, turned their garage into shelters. they are building fireplaces, in case the energy supply goes down again. like last week when russia hit roughly
2:09 pm
one 3rd of ukraine's electricity and heating infrastructure. many parts of the country including acclaimed cal, we are plunged into darkness. people in this town i know struggling to find alternative means to power and heat their homes before winter and possibly more blackouts arrive. nobody here believes that the war will end any time soon. and many feel helpless. show that the light is full of how can i prepare for this is everything i use runs on electricity when it is minus 20 degrees and there is no power in this cold weather. this will be really bad, valuable. it was a bon here called through there, but if i have blanket destroy usually you and some food out that does not need to be cooked. give notice as to what the quote here. city officials have said they will buy generators that can, of which are an active is to your says, there's not enough money to supply every one. much of that. the course that is our call to save energy and the electron that he was she a steak into social media,
2:10 pm
to advise people what to do when from william or low. they will tell people how to decrease consumption in peak hours. you must, which of the stove, the capital, the heater, the boiler, and the washing machine whirl a bridle masula put that they should that that way you can safe electricity and avoid a blackout in the pals did. the real quick glitching blood is love can afford a generator and he's stocked up on food on like many of his fellow citizens, he's better prepared. he's more worried about others. marcia, probably him was, these are problems here. they're not even close to the problems on the front line with them we. that's why we mostly don't think about ourselves. we think about our granny's, our grandpa wobble from pensioners, sydney, and the guys in the battlefield is that a dr. fuller? lawful no one here knows exactly what winter will bring, but every one wants to make it through. a rainy and climber, ill nose wreck,
2:11 pm
a be has been welcome back and to run by cheering crowds after her sudden disappearance at a competition in south korea. there had been concerns for her safety after she competed without wearing a headscarf, a breach of iran's mandatory dress rules for women athletes, a competitive climate, m. as were cabbie is back in a ran, greeted by a bouquet of flowers and cheering crowds outside terren air force. but it's unclear whether any of this is staged on water fate is now. she appeared without a headscarf during a competition in south korea the weekend. you know that the islamic republic mandates that all female athletes where the he jab, recovery his claim competing without the head jab was unintentional and she denied report. she'd gone missing for around a day after the event i was unexpectedly called and i had to compete. i was busy putting on my shoes and technical gear.
2:12 pm
and that caused me to forget to put on the job i had to where. then i went to compete with, fortunately, i come back to iran with peace of mind. although i went through a lot of tension and stress so far. thank god, nothing has happened with the last comment as spark speculation that her statements may have been coerced. even the wind has spoken out about her case. we are aware of that case and we are following it closely. i'm concerns are being raised her with the authorities as well. and what we have to stress is that women should never be prosecuted for what day, where there is to should they should never be subjected to violations such as arbitrary detention or, or any kind of violence. which regards to what they were anti government protests
2:13 pm
in iran. sparked by the death of a woman in the custody of the country is notorious morality police. i've entered a 5th week now the authorities, treatment of another woman, will be closely watched. earlier i spoke with nadine sherlock, i. e, a journalist, and women's rights activist in london, i asked her what she makes of the statement that allows recopy gave when she arrived in tehran. oh, it was completely obvious from her body language the way she spoke 8. it wasn't a not herself. it was in the, in those when you was competent, who knew like, who owned her space. she wasn't, she was company, you know, you look at her and how she speaks. so there's no doubt in the eyes of activists that this was a false competition repeated at the same story that went on to her instagram. so for us, we know other elements around the that we know iranian government and their patterns and how they've been doing days. and this is another line that it the international
2:14 pm
communities approach. today's and awareness about her actually make this situation better for her. and she didn't vanish in, in say all, and, you know, actually we are coming back and that said, massey felt that they didn't match for you. okay. so you're saying her apology was coerced. what about the scores of people welcoming her at the airport? any idea who they were, how that crowd came together? yeah, i know some of my friends and have ron. they actually went dead. it was 3 o'clock in the morning and it takes at least 2 to 3 hours depending on the traffic. therefore, it is like 30 kilometers out of the city. but the whole started when the news came out, they instantly started talking about we should go to be able to make sure that she understand that she has the support of me. and because the judy courses are quite as rich and around the country and he had approve his happening every night at
2:15 pm
different parts of the it's difficult to control that crowd and people manny low there and showed her support. and from the eye witnesses testimony, she was actually a, they saw had a car, and a, they felt like they gave her the support she needed. or iranians both within the ran and in a broad, reacting to this incident involving all those rug up the a record b. and is it, is it being linked in any way this incident to the ongoing protest generation? yes, so to understand what's happening in iran, it's really life of understand what happens and what's in a brutal country that and control every aspect of your life, dur, cctv cameras. it really is wrong and they can show the details of every aspect under street in almost all the cities in iran and, and a force that doesn't shy away from violence the way that you radians
2:16 pm
a started their process a's the actor individual. so one woman go to this, re a call for her job, and people who are gathering around her and support that this has been the act that started some years ago, but been in much more intense now. and what is the, is the not her act in that regard. so it doesn't matter if she can come out again and talk about it, or she continues this at the know that she wouldn't be able to participate in any competition from now on. that is lot of lee, but if you, her memory stays with the generation and i'm sure it would be billed in the same again. if sharika e. thank you very much for talking with us. british prime minister list truss has insisted she will not quit during a hostile parliamentary session trust based opposition. lawmakers for the 1st time in scrapping almost all of her proposed tax cuts and flagship energy policy. the
2:17 pm
policy package spark turmoil on the financial markets and has put the prime minister's future in doubt just 6 weeks into her term. trust. miss baker, i've been very clear. ah, i'm sorry. i know i had made mistakes, but the right thing to do in those circumstances is to make changes. and to get on with the job into liverpool, the british people of florida joined by a correspondent, bigot mass in london. back at the u. k. government pines itself under massive pressure, yet again, has the new prime minister managed to convince parliament that she has things under control. it was a reasonable performance, i think. and i was really watched very closely by these to care about politics by her own m. p. 's. she came across fighting,
2:18 pm
she attacked the labor party about when she says eyes their support, which would she calls what this dress called militant unions. and she said, she's of, she's a fighter, not a quitter. however, the impedes are. they are watching her. they will still ask themselves whether this is actually good enough because the question remains of her authority. all what she stood for all her program of aggressive tax cuts had to be reversed. and the question is, how believable is she when she is standing? other dispatched, dispatched both and talk about government policies. and these policies at the moment, particularly matter to a lot of people, people are under pressure of inflation. rising energy costs and a lot of people have to choose whether to heat the houses or put food on the table . so she is being watched incredibly closely by the country and by her own colleagues. so lose trust as credibility is on the line or some say her viability
2:19 pm
is on the line, is a clear whether lose trust can hold on to a job as prime minister well have has now lieutenant ratings are really the lowest are for, for, for any prime minister ever almost. so it is not looking good and i think for many in the conservative party, it's fairly evident that it will be very, very difficult to when the next elections with her. the question remains though, how to go about having a new leader at the moment people are conservative, m p 's are trying to find some unity candidate, somebody that they could rally behind because they want to avoid another protracted leadership election like we have seen over the summer, the thinking is that that would cause more chaos, but to find is unity candidate and or to find a team that m p. 's could rarely behind. that does prove difficult,
2:20 pm
but i do think that she will go, the question is just when with the conservatives in disarray, where does all this leave the opposition? labor party barriers, could they soon get a shot at running the country? definitely, terry, the cynical view is that they actually don't have to do much to prove themselves. i just have to sit and watch the conservative party implode of all the economic chaos that labor says the conservators have, have cause. so in the opinion polls there are almost tattoo points had, so they are really preparing for their next stand and government. good, thank you very much. shar corresponded berg at mass. they're in london. now, what is the world's biggest literary events? the frankfurt oh fare has opened its doors this year, spain as the guest country sniping, europe's 5th largest economy. spain is plagued by high unemployment and inequality
2:21 pm
. 3 spanish authors have written books reflecting on life as women in the country that was once a dictatorship and still has strong attachment to conservative traditions. author, anna, if a theme on grew up in the rural area of castillo la mancha, her family had humble beginnings. the fact that she was able to go to madrid and study was considered a step up. but due to the financial crisis, the author lost her job 3 times in a row. by her late twenty's, she'd had enough and wrote an angry book fair dea, a book of memories here that was there. and concrete things we've really gone downhill by my parents. were able to buy a house and start a family at the age of 20. and my yodi, the majority of my generation, can't afford it at 30 when it can't even consider it blended. elena may day, has written a social novel, a deeply psychological study that tells of the barriers of the spanish class system . it follows the lives of 2 women, grandmother, and grand daughter, maria,
2:22 pm
who grows up in the deeply conservative atmosphere of franco's dictatorship all her life. she does menial work, but she continues her education opening up a new world for herself. alisha story, on the other hand, is one of decline. once upon a time her family had money. now elisa works at the train station in a kiosk, alicia and maria to women struggling to make ends meet in a world where everything revolves around money that they don't have. after the franco dictatorship, there were a number of authors who jumped at the chance to write about issues that moved them . rosa montero is one of them. a legend since publishing her 1st novel in 1979 about a journalist raising her son alone, and searching for direction in the post franco era. it was a moment in which we were beginning to say openly things that we couldn't have said before, because eh, my, i novel appears 4 years after as franco's death. and before you couldn't talk about
2:23 pm
the real life, rosa montero has published nearly 20 novels to date, non fiction, short stories in children's books that have been translated into many languages, often with strong female characters who struggle with men. and with a society they continue to see as unjust. rosa montecito ana edy, seaman eleanor middle, 3 women writers, campaigning for a fairer spain. and for women to be able to decide for themselves what kind of life they want to lead. her current hempstead from the w cultures. here to tell us more about the frankfurt book. fair, good zucker. ok. the theater, the paper book, there's always a big deal. what a special about this year? well, i think the fact that it's back at all, you know, this is the world's biggest publishing event. so it's a huge deal for the industry for things like translation for multimedia and tech companies and for literacy in general. and after to really devastating years of the pandemic, it's great to see that it's back in full force. so there are no restrictions this
2:24 pm
time. the last 2 years were fully and partially digital and people are really excited to get back. 4000 exhibitors from 95 countries are registered, so that's nearly back to pre panoramic levels and interesting things like, you know, tick tock will be we'll have a presence this year that highlighting it's it's book talk community which is some fans that may basically do videos to talk about books, and i think that's one of many collaborations that are aiming to sort of, you know, dust off the image of the dry talks with publishers and an appeal to younger readers which is important. politics always plays a role in this, you know, it's huge big deal. a couple of countries are noticeably absent from the book fair this year. countries with important literary traditions tells more absolutely. while iran withdrew of its own accord, just very, very short notice, accusing the book fair of meddling in its affairs, which i think is probably a reaction to shows of solid already that we've seen here in europe. we're with
2:25 pm
solidarity with the women's protest happening on going in the run. that's going to be a very big topic. they've been different calls from different courts asking for shows of solidarity. there have been statements. there was a very emotional moment on monday when we thoughts with author kimberly's all who identifies as non binary actually shaved their head on stage. after receiving the prestigious german book prize. i was a show of support for the women in iran and probably a harbinger of more to come. so the russian presence is, of course, practically not there. russian publishers didn't, didn't get visas, which means that ukrainian authors, i think, are going to really take, take the spotlights of probably 1st and foremost a guy like shares said he, jad, on who's a bit of a punk poet, writer translator musician, a key figure in ukraine's literary scene,
2:26 pm
and he'll be receiving the peace prize of the german book trade on sunday. that's one of many, many events around ukrainian writers and publishers. i'm also ukranian president zalinski is scheduled to to speak as is his wife or lena zelinski. they'll be tuning in via video, but it will be very highly politically charged in the absence of russia as well. for obvious reasons turn. thank you so much. kern homestead from d. w culture. pleasure. thank you. are watching d w. news coming to you live from berlin? just reminder of the top story we're following for you this. our russian president, vladimir putin has declared martial law in 4 regions that were illegally annexed from ukraine. the move titans the kremlin, hold on those areas. russian forces, there have been under pressure, a member, ukrainian counter offense. and there's been a heroes welcome, a terror on airport for iranian climber. helen does wreck a b after she competed without
