[000:00:00;00] ah ah, do you use like from berlin? ki, hydro electric dan b rushes next target ukrainian president lot of mr. lansky ones, hundreds of thousands of people are at brace, alleges russian forces planted mines at the power station in the southern region of hassan. after a night of wrangling, european leaders agree on a road map to contain soaring energy prices, triggered by the war in ukraine. but german skepticism remains over. a price cap

for gas and britain's conservative party start to search for a new leader again, following this process resignation. the shortest, didn't ever in the job, the outgoing prime minister leave scars on the economy and politics in term on ah, i've been fooling welcome. ukraine's president, florida lansky has accused russia of planning to blow up a hydro electric dam in the south region. he said, russian troops had mind the hacker up plant to trigger what soleski called a catastrophe of a grand scale. as winter approaches, there was growing concerned about russian a tax on energy infrastructure. there were reports this morning of blasts in hockey fence apple ratio, and an off mike incident on russian t. b a. p is to confirm

a rating in both, but in recent drone strikes, monuments destroyed windows of homes blown in residents of the southern ukrainian city. of nikolai, of our once again picking up the pieces after the city was hit by russian drones and missiles. ukraine accuses russia of using hundreds of iranian drones in its attack in recent weeks. that something both moscow and 2 ran adamantly deny. but an unfortunate gap from a russian military expert who didn't realize he was on air suggests otherwise. well, we'll know the drills are iranian, but the government has not admitted to it. when full year of college washington says that iran is actually training russian troops on how to use their drones. or you avi's. we assess that iranian personnel, runny nose, hurry,

personnel were on the ground in crime. yes. and assisted russia in these operations . a russia has received dozens of these you avy so far, and will likely continue to receive additional shipments in the future with russia's progress on the battlefield. stalling moscow has stepped up a tax on infrastructure like power plants. ukraine's president has accused his russian counterpart of wanting ukrainians to freeze to death over the winter, and appealed to citizens to curtail their energy use. in cheve the new energy saving guidelines are already being followed. more than half of the trolley buses are no longer running. we switched off all electric appliances at home. the new guy lines have to be taken very seriously. so far we've not used the heating ukraine says russia has destroyed over 30 per cent of its power stations in just

a week. yes, back continues. ukrainians are going to be in for a very cold and dark winter. i asked the ws, but he has boating and keep about us claims of iran supplying russia with weapons. you know, we've just heard this a snippet from the russian t. v talk show her where a guest admitted, basically that they are iranian, that has never been any doubt about them being iranian, despite the fact that they have the scripture on them, where the name is inscribed is to really and is, is russian. but they look exactly like these well known radian drones, and they have the same components. but russia doesn't admitted for one thing because iran doesn't admitted. and iran, of course, that doesn't want to draw up any kind of revenge on itself. but also because it's an embarrassment for the russian defense industry, these drones are not incredibly sophisticated. they are effective. yes,

because they are relatively new means of warfare, and ukraine is not prepared for them. but the components are pretty much commercial parts, commercial gps systems, et cetera. and russia wasn't able to manufacture anything like that or develop anything like that by itself. so it's of course, an embarrassment that they have to, to, to iran. that makes it sound like the russians are running out of weapons. and ammunition mathias give us the latest from the frontline. we're hearing about explosions in how kids that's right. how give was it again, i'm, of course, when this capital key is it, it, sir, makes it much faster to the news and, and, and draws much more attention by these cities like hard give mc alive are the ones that are here frequently, systematically. they are close to the frontline, so russia has a wider range of weapons that they can use against them. and that's why hard give is really a city. there is a suffering a lot. it's very close to the russian border,

so it can be hit directly from russian territory with her rockets, for example. they don't need to fly over a long range and that are harder to intercept because they're in the air much shorter. in the meantime, what is ukraine's plan to get through the winter with so many people turning off the power or being left in the dark where there are schemes to save energy am. there are many concerns, of course, that this a bombing campaign against a power stations will continue. there are also concerns that a dam in the southern part of the occupied territories actually, where the fighting is going on might be blown up by the russians. zalinski has said that the russians had mind the damn. we don't have any information, but this is one source of power. and it's also of course, a danger for the people living a downstream m a. so there are many concerns at the moment. can you credit trying

to balance out these dangers by power cuts, for example, we have, people have been asked to consume less power and out. and it's, it's been announced that in order to take russia off the grid, her power might be cut at some point in some parts of the country or the city for a certain period of time. they're saying no longer than 4 hours in a row. and then shifting from one area to the other. so the pressure on the grid is very high and the ukraine might need additional sources of power. generators may be power inputs, but that's something to be figured out. yet mathias will this all mean millions more refugees as ukrainians find it somewhere else to, to survive. basically, that seems to be the planner of the russians to create more chaos. also to western countries where these refugees turn,

that's openly discussed on ration tv that are out of la diseases smite a be the consequence of the bombings if, for example, the sewage systems are also not functioning anymore. and they're, they're all of these fantasies discussed about onrushing tv on how to create mrs for the, for the ukrainian population. we might very well see people leaving the places that have no heating, already seen the government asking people to leave, for example on boss. because the natural gas pipeline system is damaged so badly that they cannot provide heating for the winter. that's what the government has officially announced. but of course, ukraine is working to prevent this from happening in larger parts of the country because it would be really very difficult to deal with. on the other hand, many ukrainians are saying we've lived was 900 ninety's where power shortages were very frequent. and we're where we would be sitting at candle light and cold

apartments. we will survive this time as well. the w mathias bowinger in case the energy crisis triggered by russian cutting gas supplies is topping the gender of the latest summit of european union leaders, energy prices of surge since the war began. e u has agreed now to a road map aimed at children. consumers from those soaring prices. announcement came after 11 hours of wrangling, bronsels, but leaders were not able to reach a consensus on putting a cap on what they are prepared to pay for gas. germany and france are on the opposing sides of the debate with germany, fearing a cap could see supplies seek alternative markets. alexander phenomena is our bureau chief in brussels. so run us through the roadmap 1st up. alexander, while the agreement which he and brussels has been described here as a classic you outcome, everyone gets

a little no one gets everything. and her more talking is inevitable. and the european commission, european council president, shall michelle describe this agreement or saying an undermining. the sense of prayer breakthrough here by saying that they agreed on a list of measures that needs to be said or worked on. so what is on the list is, for instance, a mechanism that would help or energy companies in europe to club together into buyers, cartels to buy natural gas on the international market. they also want it to look into waste that could be possible to limit to price peaks on gas. and they also a want to look into a mechanism that could help or a put a limit on gas. that is gas prices on gas that is used to produce electricity. however, as you've mentioned, that one center piece

a proposal here on the table as the leaders are still split on that on the price kept on all gas imports. but, but a lot of leaders are for it, aren't they? what? why then is germany left so lonely when it comes to its offices? while germany saying that this measure is not a silver bullet to tackle the crisis, there are saying that that could be a discourage energy savings that that could lead to blackouts as a so if suppliers decided to sell the resources elsewhere, other nations in the european union the majority of member states actually are seeing that the you really need to use in it's purchasing power that it can convey in sellers to sell their resources to the you, which is one of the 3rd biggest trade players in the world at the biggest problem

is here however, that normally france and germany, they, tim, up to find a compromise a consensus, but in this case there are in opposite opposing camps. okay, so the 2 big economies going head to head, but speed here is of the essence in his energy crisis. a lot of consumers, a waiting for relief is, is this the vision you speak of going to stall the whole process? while it already has leaders have been talking about that for months now. and we have already seen some protest and some you, a members said's. and of course a people are worried about their bills. however, we also have to say that many experts say that we are going to face a difficult and hold winter maybe. but the real problems are going to begin next year with the question, how to fill our gas storage facilities without natural gas. i central phenomena,

great to get your take. see again, sorry, ukrainian refugees may have been the target of a suspected as an attack on a hotel in northeast and germany. police are investigating after a fire, read through the hotel where several refugees were living. 17 people were inside when the blazer rotted. no one was injured. this was the scene in the village of gross pumpkin door on wednesday evening. 14 guests mostly ukrainians, fleeing the war and 3 staff members were inside when the blaze broke out sin. thus, it is very scary to think that we all came to this country to find safety and feel protected. and after we thought we were in a safe environment, i understood all of a sudden we had to leave our homes again on good m of and it is horrible to always have to be scared that you are not safe organiser guard bung, local police suspect arson and say that just days ago,

the hotel entrance was defaced with swastikas and other graffiti visiting the scene . the state premier had this to say that if there had asked them come if arson is confirmed, then we would consider this an inhumane crime. culver. in that case, we will do everything in our power because we do not tolerate hatred and violence against people in our country, and certainly not against people who are seeking our protection by an investigation is already underway into the cause of the fire is being led by a police unit that specializes in politically motivated crimes. let's take a look at some of the other stories making use us actor kevin spacey has been cleared in a sexual abuse case for against it by actor anthony wrap. and your jury found that his accuser now 50 years old, did not prove his claim that spacing made an unwanted sexual advance on him when he was 14, a huge fire has erupted in central mexico. after a fuel truck crashed into an overpass,

shortest serving prime minister in u. k. history. after weeks of chaos at 10 downing street, a moment of clarity, list, trust, fens, frenzy, speculation on her future by telling the british people. but she is stepping down. i cannot deliver the mandate on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have therefore spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. only 6 weeks ago, trust was confirmed as prime minister by the late queen elizabeth the 2nd. but a disastrous budget from the no former chancellor, quasi quite ng spelled the beginning of the end. high tax rates are home secretary swell a braverman. what after a row over immigration. and then a vote to ban fracking, played out amid chaotic scenes sealed,

i have been following this news. i mean, since the 2009, a protest movement against the re election, a president, our medina, john, there has been this movement to really centralize and restrict the internet. and of course, despite these efforts for the past 10 years, they have not been able to fully restrict and closed down the internet. there's many reasons including economic reasons, but you know, the internet is the only reason why we have any ability to have documentation and awareness about what's going on. of course, the media is severely restricted in its traditional forms and so we've seen that really incredible power and impact of citizen journalism. so we have these protests networks and especially very strong. this time around we have protest networks like 1500 test fear has over a 1000000 followers on instagram. and it has been documented what's been going on

in over 200 countries across iran. of course, there has been severe restrictions or have been severe disruptions across the network. we've been seeing a very thorough disabling of a lot of the piano. so the cat and mouse game between, you know, users trying to circumvent censorship and the government. censorship has really intensified during these past 56 weeks where we have seen almost all, you know, for in internet services, especially any that provide lines, communication and most popular instagram and whatsapp. they were blocked. and so there's been a struggle to find the peons that work on it. we've been seeing mobile curfews, most iranians connect to the internet through mobile data and smartphones. and so we've been seeing mobile curfews every night between you know, 4 p m. and 2 am, one, tests are really at their most intense and people are out on the streets. but, you know, we've been seeing these pockets of connectivity, and that's why we have been seeing, you know,

the hash tag from us armenian persian, has been so active in, you know, we were seeing posts from it, from inside your iran, from users. but you know, the repression also has been very brutal and this has been very effective in the inability of human rights and documentation efforts to actually see what's going on . amnesty international just put out a call a few days ago that there needs to be transparency to what happened at evian prison because we still do not have documentation of that. but is the uh, the restrictions on the internet. are they making it really hard for protesters to organize themselves or, or is it actually fueling these, these huge demonstrations that have been going on for weeks over, right, over all over iran? right, so i mean, putting that much agency in to technology is all, always, you know, not a good idea and we've seen it, you know,

from the green movement and iran to the arab spring across the region. i think, you know what, we do see it. the power of the internet is really the power to bear witness to bring awareness to, you know, even folks inside iran that you know, their neighbors are protesting. maybe they should go out on the streets and join protests. so it would be too far to say that the internet is helping people, you know, organize and mobilize and specific places. i think it's much more local, local and, you know, neighborhood oriented. i mean, we've been seeing so many so much footage from an ex baton expert on which is this building complex and to her on where that video you were referred to of the hugs was coming from. and so, you know, the locals in that vicinity have been coming out every night and we've been seeing the footage from this. and so it seems much more organic in terms of mobilization, of course, the awareness and knowing that there's brutality and cracked down people need to stand up against this has definitely been feeding and being, you know,

powered through social media. such a was i, madonna, really extraordinary stuff. thank you very much for feeling said happy to be here. thank you. la motions. he services in nigeria say more than 600 people have been killed in 1400000 homeless. following some of the most severe flooding and decades, climate change. but also poll, planning of being blamed, rains have washed away farmland and crops raising fears of a food crisis in eastern regions of a flow from the lot called dam in neighboring cameroon. as was the situation here, this is what the rainy season usually looks like. and i'm rusty in se tonight j. and this is what the same community looks like. now. swollen weavers have inundated numerous house and villages across nigeria, cause in 1400000 people to flee their homes for camps set up on higher ground.

27 out of 36 states have been affected. alhambra state is one of the was hit. one 3rd of the state is now on the water. we are suffering, but suffering is better than stealing. that's why we are here in this condition. the clothes that i'm wearing are the only ones i have left. the flood carried away all our belongings. lujan waller schools have been destroyed by water. so our plea is anyone that can help us should help us. any one that you help us should help us please local and yields and philanthropists as crumbling to help where the camp people here see the feel neglected by the government. the government manager, have them gone and not seen any residence.

lie room bother with our numbers. go with the new with key infrastructure swallowed by water. many of the flooded communities are without power, and people's generators have been destroyed. critical infrastructure such as schools, health care centers, fully stations, and banks can't operate. the nigerian government says that though they received only one in size of the flood, they never foresaw at this level of destruction and with the number of farmlands that have been washed away. there are concerns about foot scarcity in the coming months. south eastern nigeria is at risk of flooding, at least until the end of the rainy season. in november, a reminder of our top story, ukrainian president loaded, mister lensky says, russian forces of mine, i pro electric damn in the headstone region and says,

hundreds of thousands of residents could be at risk of rapid flooding if the dam is destroyed. this is dw news life from berlin, a beck's the w business with kate ferguson. i'm painful and i'll see you here with will won't use the next hour to provide
