also coming up honoring ukrainian resilience, the e u awards. it's top human rights tries to the ukrainian people and their president for risking their lives to protect democracy. and the rule of law and the heroes welcome at iran airport. foreign iranian climber who competed abroad without a headscarf, whether concern, she may yet be punished for breaking iran. strict islamic rules for women's dress. ah, i'm glad else as well come. russian president vladimir putin has declared martial law and the 4 regions of ukraine that moscow illegally annexed just weeks ago,

put in, made the announcement in a televised statement to members of his security council. the decree, hands more power to local officials in the occupied regions. officials installed by russia in carson, one of the 4 regions are moving civilians out of the area in the face of advancing ukrainian forces valencia, some more of what president putin had to say with this is, you know, let me remind you that martial law was in effect in the donuts people's republic, the lou hans people's republic in the harrison and parisha regions you ever since their entry into the territory of russia is just them yet. and now it is therefore necessary to apply this law within the russian legal framework. therefore, the more i have signed a decree on the introduction of martial law in these 4 regions of the russian federation. the commander of russia's troops in ukraine has been forced to acknowledge difficulties on the front lines. moscow struggling to maintain its hold

on several strategic positions in regions that moscow illegally annexed in the east and the south. a fierce battle for control over her son looms again of his social. it was one of the 1st ukrainian cities to fall to russian forces at the start of the war. now russia says ukraine is preparing to take it back. images posted on social media by a russian installed official claim to show fortifications outside the city. allegedly, pro kremlin regional leaders are urging civilians to leave in order to avoid casualties one and to give the russian army room to maneuver like women are. so what i ask you to interpret my word seriously as a cold to evacuate quickly. we won't abandon the city, will stand until the end of the gun thought since issuing the evacuation order, the russian appointed administration said it had decided to move across the nepa river. but vowed that moscow's forces would fight to the death. keeping harrison

will be the 1st big test for general sergey serv. eakin in his new role as commander of russia's forces in ukraine. the man known as general armageddon, admitted the battle for his son would not be easy villiers on a ship blow. now further actions and plans regarding the city of his song itself will depend on the military tactical situation at hand. well, i will say this again. it is already very difficult as of today this morning, but also as for the 10s of thousands of people, moscow says are fleeing the city. russia has promised them housing certificates if they wish to leave ukraine. but it's unclear how many are leaving under their own free will. since the start of the invasion, keith has accused moscow of forcibly resettling thousands of ukrainians to territories inside russia. far from home. in russia, tv rain was one of the last independent news networks that was shut down by the

kremlin channels editor. you got that in our culture cuts, it is still working outside russia and she gave us her take on putins declaration of martial law. well, this is something that brings us very close to the moment when the president of russian federation and, and his employees including their representatives. the freshman government would be forced to name this situation a war because so far they were insisting on the special military operation. so called special needs reparation. not acknowledging, not telling russians that this is actually a war going on, not only in ukraine, but also on the parts of the russian federation on the border. there are right now. right now, serious situation in bill got old region, for example. we can see that the shelling miss styles are on the ground

right now these days and during, during the month of the last month. so people are cared to death in russia after the so called partial muslim is ation that has declared after this martial law that he has adopted a couple of hours ago. it's becoming closer and closer to russians. and, you know, we are so used to this narrative that russians do not care about what's going on in the ukraine about the death of civilians about atrocities. so right now, even though who really did not care, i'm missing that they're not majority, but of course there were people who did not care about what's going on because they were comfortable in their own lives. so even this people now are acknowledging their understanding that this war is coming to their homes. and this is a very important for me. and right now, even the russian command of the new russian commodity and ukraine has said that

things are difficult in the occupied region. does this admission come as a surprise to you? of course, because before the sewer begins, the representatives, the minister of defense of russia, there were repeating on and on this war it's about about the victory about the plan which is being completed about everything is all right, and so on and so forth. right now is sort of the can, is presented by letting repeating by kremlin as the person who comes with a new approach. and i was astonished yes. today i can honestly say when i, when i was reading the telegram channels, the russian for done to face says, saying the same thing about sort of weekend that this is the guy who is opened with us, who is fair and honest with us. this isn't you approach of minister of defense and

she is becoming a hero, a symbol of new stage of the so called special new reparations. and they really hope that, you know, meeting the problems will bring, eventually rushed to the big victory and ukraine. an occupation, not only of this and next territory, but also of key f and wolf and other parts of ukraine. so this is something, and he is someone who they think can bring maybe even hope for those russians who are cared, as i said. and those russians who don't want to be part of this war, who are running away from the country, from this materialization that they, they think that may be sort of weekend would be the guy who would let the, the people who are running away. people ask ad in russia, so how damaging have these recent setbacks been for put into 30

i am pretty sure, honestly saying that this whole war was a great mistake of landmark. and every new step that he takes makes the situation worse. this mobilization, this martial law, all the problems that russian regions, russian regions are going to right now. you know, it all brings me very tough choice that he will need to make. i mean, he's not going to the render. obviously he's not going to say, all right guys, it was my mistake. i'm going from ukraine. i'm leaving ukraine. i don't want this anymore. it's impossible to imagine that every single step that he will take after that would be even worse and worse. i'm really scared of using a technical nuclear weapon which is kind of 11 of the,

one of the plans that they are considering in kremlin. so this is the, this is the beginning of the end for letting me put in the only one question is, what you will be able to accomplish and how many people will die before before the end. because i've actually got a new senate and presented independent russian tv station rain. thank you very much for joining i. c d. w. news. my pleasure. russia's assault on civilian infrastructure. cross ukraine have left millions without essentials, electricity, heat, and water supplies have been interrupted. our correspondent, fun for chopped, went to the town of you crank up 50 kilometers from caves, that i was hit by a power outage when russia struck energy facilities more than a week ago. now people there are getting ready for more of the same blood is love is proud of this with stove. he built it during the war last week,

yet 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, polio, grammar, blood is love, and his neighbors in mclean can, near keith, turn their garage into shelters. they are building fireplaces, in case the energy supply goes down again. like last week when russia hit roughly one 3rd of ukraine's electricity and heating infrastructure. many parts of the country, including mclean co, we are plunged into darkness. people in this town are not struggling to find alternative means to power and heat their homes before winter, and possibly more blackouts arrived. nobody here believes that the war will end any time soon, and many feel helpless. show that 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 ear called through there. but if i have blanket destroy you so you can some

food out that it does not need to be cooked. give notice of the what the quote here . city officials have said they will buy generators. that channel, which are an active, is to your, says, there is not enough money to supply every $1.00, much of the cost. that is our call to save energy and the electron out of here was she a steak, into social media, to advise people what to do when from we're more low, then we will tell people how to decrease is consumption. in peak hours. you must switch off the stove, the cattle, the heater, the boiler, and the washing machine will upright massena people that they showed up that way you can safe electricity and avoid a blackout in the pals did the real good glitching. bloody slough can afford a generator and he is stocked up on food. on like many of his fellow citizens, he's better prepared. he's more worried about others. nash equilibrium was these are problems here. they're not even close to the problems on the front line. with

them when we that's why we mostly don't think about ourselves. we think about our granny's, our grandpa hobble for pensioners, sydney, and the guys in the battlefield is that it up crippled a lawful no one here knows exactly what winter will bring, but every one wants to make it through. the european parliament has given its top human rights. the walk is a huddled prize for freedom of thought to the ukrainian people and their representatives, european parliament, president, roberta, had sola said, the world had watched ukrainians, defending their liberty and families. since russia invaded the country in february and that they were risking their lives for european values, the prize will be formally watered at a ceremony in december and early was spoke with dw brussels correspondent jack parrot, who followed the nominations for this prize. yeah, i think it would have been a big shock. had anyone else have been granted this prize?

today we knew that basically the ukranian people were nominated 3 times once as the brave people of ukraine, as represented by the president, brought him his zalinski, which is the denomination that one another for just the people of ukraine. and another for broad a minute zalinski himself, the other nominees, were julian songs, the finder of wiki leagues. and sherwin abbey acclaim, who was the out 0 journalist that was killed in palestine a few months ago. there were some other nominations, as well as the, as we say, nobody was expecting it to go to anybody but the people of ukraine and indeed, roberta metzler, the european parliament president when she and i says she said there's no one more deserving. and indeed, the conference of presidents which awards the soccer of prize that all of them were unanimous in their decision to avoid it to the people of ukraine. it important to note as well this, this price is named after andre sacker of who is a former soviet dissident. so many of the prizes have been awarded to people that

are of that sort of persuasion. lot last year was the russian opposition leader as lexi nev only the year before, the legitimate opposition of ballard, bruce as it seemed by the european parliament. so this was a broadly expected and quite a symbolic when god, you're talking about symbolism. there is it just of symbolic value or does it any, does it have any meaning for the recipient? the, the people of ukraine? yes, i think in this case it is broadly symbolic. the winner receives a prize of 50000 euros. obviously when you're rewarding it to the entirety of the people of ukraine, that doesn't go very far. but i think as i say there was no doubt that it was gonna go to them. there's gonna be a awards ceremony, a december, the 14th, that will be in strasburg, and the question is, who will arrive from the ukrainians to receive this award? will it indeed be president vladimir zalinski himself? it would probably amount to his 1st foreign trip. i sighed. they will hope that by not nominating the people as represented by him, that he might turn up,

but he hasn't left the country yet. so i have to wait and see what happens to was the end of the year. are brussels corresponded jack, parrot there. thank you. jack that's have a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. turkeys president, dress of type ad one has told members of his party in parliament that he is come to an agreement with vladimir putin to build a natural gas hub in turkey. the facility would be used to supply europe with gas by a turkey to lead us discuss the idea that regional summit last year last week. britain's prime minister let's trust, has been facing harsh questioning. the house of commons trust is under intense pressure, after scrapping almost all of her proposed tax cuts and flagship energy policy on monday, crosses insisted she would not quit during the hostile parliamentary session to

speak. the giant dome of a grand mosque in indonesian capital jakarta has collapsed after a fire broke out workers who had been renovating the mos have been taken for questioning the far lasted several hours. please say there are no casualties. the rainy incline but illness recovery and has been welcome back in tehran by cheering crowds after a sudden disappearance at a competition in south korea that concerns with safety office. he competed without wearing a headscarf. that's a breach of a round, strict islamic dress, co dress code for women. competitive climate illness recovery is back in iran greeted by a bouquet of flowers and cheering crowds outside terren air horse wood. it's unclear whether any of this is staged and water fate is now she

appeared without a headscarf june, a competition in south korea the weekend. you know, they, these lamps, republic mandates that all female athletes where the he jab, recovery has claimed competing without the her job 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 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 un has spoken out about her case. we are aware of that case and we are following it closely. i'm concerns are

being raised there with the authorities as well. and what we have to stress is that women should never be prosecuted for what day. where are there to should they should never be and subjected to violations such as arbitrary detention or, or any kind of violence. which regards to what they were anti government protests in iran spot for the death of a woman in the custody of the country is notorious morality. police have entered a 5th week now the authorities, treatment of another woman, will be closely watched. c must obey. it isn't an iranian a journalist and host of the talk show iran international and london l e m. i asked her what she makes off the statement that ricardo gave on arriving back into iran. as someone who has been following cases for years to many of us, it seems like for the confession something that she was put under pressure to talk

into those tv. it was completely reputation of what she wrote on her instruct that . oh, it was intentionally, i was cause southerly and i had to compete. it was or happen, it was intentional, which we know that if impossible, it's impossible that you forget your job, that you know what sort of consequences basically to hop on you. if you complete the doubt, he job many iranians especially, i mean even a woman has not been able to compete in many sports. they thought it's impossible to like swimming. so she definitely knew what she's doing. she knew that there would be consequences. but after she did that, there were reports from people who are inside the national team, that she was taken to the embassy, even an embassy in. so her mobile was taken,

her passport sees, and then she put on the play. and as you see, it was in your report that people gather 3 o'clock in the morning to greet her as the he will even the car was carrying her didn't stop. now what's going to happened to recovery now back in terran and if the regime decides to treat a harshly, wouldn't that fire up the protest? the more well because her case has been into public opinion and people know about it. and also it has been somehow brought into international media attention. so there is a chance that they can not treat her as hard as they can. they treat other activities inside the rock. but still, we don't know because her family are in iran. we don't know what sort of friendship she has been under to come up on the tv and also what she was told,

how she was good to sort of like what that then make to people who they are are there are at the time. so nothing is clear on what is going to happen to her, but possibly guess as or that she never would compete in national teams who won't be allowed to go to any other international competition again. but these are the minute things that could happen. namely worried about what is going to happen to her or her family members, because this is how it's coming to public us. i mean, he put it to public pressure of the family members in order to get the person to hold right now from what you know, how our average iranians, reacting to this people who are chanting a lot the hero when they were at the airport. and also on social media, there is massive support for everyone on the sun. that's what she said. she was

forced to say on tv is totally different than the action that she did. i think it is significant does what rosa parks the in the civil rights movement in mid fifties in the us because it was one thing that both a lot of attention we have been on the diesels of shows even implemented the job to observe the stressing cause but now everybody on the street is challenging, woman life, freedom. so this is what they want and it was the most important thing that one person could do in an international arena to bring the whole more attention into that. thank you very mouth, sema. then one of the world's biggest literary trade shows the frankfurt book fair has now opened this year, spain,
