[000:00:00;00] ah, this is the w news. why from berlin? ki, hydro electric damn. the rush is next target. ukrainian, president, lot of mister lansky ones. hundreds of thousands of people are at risk. he alleges russian forces planted minds 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 of price kept for gas and britain, this conservative party done the search for a new leader again, following lease trust, his resignation. after the shortest stay in the job,

the outgoing prime minister leave scars on the economy and politics in term on ah, i've been for sewland, welcome, ukraine's president lamesa lansky has accused russia of planning to blow up a hydro electric dam in the his own region. he said, russian troops said, mind the harkell that plant 2 trigger. what's lensky called a catastrophe of a grand scale. as winter approaches, there is growing concern about rushing attacks on energy infrastructure. there are reports this morning of blasts in hockey fence. apple ratio, monuments destroyed windows of homes blown in. residents of the southern ukrainian city. of nikolai, of are once again picking up the pieces after the city was hit by russian drones

and miss isles. ukraine accuses russia of using hundreds of iranian drones in its attack in recent weeks. that something both moscow and to ran adamantly deny was low. 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, that the government has not admitted to it. when full year of, with washington says that iran is actually training russian troops on how to use their drones or you avi's. we assess that iranian personnel, girani knows her personnel were on the ground in crimea, 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. then you guidelines have to be taken very seriously. so far we've not used the heating ukraine says russia has destroyed over 30 percent of its power stations in just a week. if that continues ukrainians are going to be in for a very cold and dark winter, the energy crisis there and you credit nothing to compare to the one here in europe . but it does top the agenda at the latest summit of european union leaders. energy prices have searched since the war began. the world over. the e. u has agreed on a road map,

aim that shielding consumers from the soaring prices. announcement came after 11 hours of wrangling and brothels, but leaders were not able to reach a consensus on putting a cap on what they prepared to pay for gas, germany and france, or on opposing sides of the debate with germany fearing a cap could c supply and seek alternative markets. alexandra phenomena is our bureau chief in brussels. alexandra run us through this road mac. well, this roadmap, met is actually a list of measures that still needs to be finalized among them, as for instance, more corporation to jointly by natural gas. so you are p and companies in the future should be able to clap together into buying cartels to join the purchase gas on the international market. some sort of a reverse eltic if you wish, at the european union also wants to look into ways how to limit price peak. so for

instance, they also want to examine whether it's possible to subsidize or to put a cap on prices on gas and fuse to produce electricity. and this outcome is a classic you outcome. everyone gets a little, nobody gets every think add more, talking is needed. and the real problem is that the center piece proposal that was here on the table, a cap on all on prices on all gas imports. debt is something that the leaders are still split done and the split is between mainly germany of france. the 2 biggest economies, the most influential and biggest partners in the you, why can't they agree right now on, on so many different issues. well, in with regards to this one issue, price caps, there are really in opposing caps with germany saying that this is not a silver bullet to tackle the crisis that that could be a very risky measure,

that it could alienate reliable suppliers who could then sell gas elsewhere, other nations like friends, for instance, and actually the majority of member states here are saying, no, we have to use our purchasing power. the european union is one of the largest global players in international trade that can work. however, i think that the real matter here is that smaller countries are saying that unlike germany, this economic power house, they don't have enough money to subsidize and gas praises on a national level. but alexandra, do they realize that stalling this whole process is costing consumers? well i think they do realize that because of course, they see that we have already seen some protest. so within the european union with people protesting against a soaring energy prices, the heating season has already started. at the same time, we have to say that at the gas prices are went down again. so maybe some leaders

think that they still have time to figure out the best way to tackle the energy crisis on time is running out alexandra phenomena great to it. will take again there from brussels. the 1st of a 9000 strong contingent of russian troops has begun arriving in bel rose. men's can moscow announced their setting up a joint military unit to defend by the russian borders. the deployment comes after belarus, leader, alexander lucas. sankoh said his country was facing threats from both neighboring ukraine and its west and allies. you create a train said to be carrying russian military vehicles arrives in bella, luce, another apparently full of russian soldiers. over the last few days, bela rose's defense ministry has been releasing images like these to prove that

a deal struck between it and its giant neighbour. russia is really happening for pity with her. we arrived from the central region of russia. well, specifically, i'm from moscow. was come to help the brotherly people of the republic of beller road is to strengthen their borders and to make everyone feel, how can i to peoples of russia and billows are girls please? alexander lucas jenko announce is in class for a joint military unit. more than a week ago, many kids since confirmed that around 9000 russian troops will be based in the country, close to the ukrainian border. but location co continues to deny that his country will attack ukraine. it's no secret though, that russia is vladimir putin has been using belarus in its war against cave, including launching air strikes from there. ukraine has

already released images of its armed forces, said to be training near the border with bella. ruth, would you chant, already been holding military drills in the region before the deal between men scanned moscow was announced. you're better will receive calling to show it's giving these russian soldiers a warm welcome. but once the show is over, no one's quite sure what will happen next. let's talk about that with nadia to gloss. she's a political scientist working at the center for east european and international studies here in berlin. welcome. how big of a threat is this joint battle ropes? russia, military group, fort ukraine. i believe it should not be under an estimated but it's, it doesn't represent an immediate threat that the brother machine defense ministry has announced on monday that they will hold joint military exercises within this

regional joint regional grouping. but, but yeah, and actually remember prior to february 24 for right, russian troops also under the pretext of holding military exercises. and after that we are a business, the invasion and still, yet i believe that this is from the veneration side, yet another step towards p. thing put in and more of a joint military threat to put more pressure on your screen because it also made another offensive on keith like we saw in the early stages of the bull. or i don't believe that such an offensive would take place in the immediate future. there are 3 reasons for that. first are put in, knows that ocean army is not in the point that both state and the loyalty is

not, not necessarily given. and secondly, i also put in and look, a shame can know that the situation is much more and worse than it was in february . because ukraine has taken precautions and has tried to 45. you printed the ocean border by placing land mines in vast areas of blowing up bridges. and so advancing territories would be much more difficult this time. and 3rd, for both a, put in and lucas shank and know that if better was, would enter in this war actively, it could mean a huge deductible is asian for this country. because as we know, majority of the population is against active participation. offer was and is more, i mentioned the loyalty of the ocean on forces and, and it's,

it's not as equipped and prepared to probably dev would need to be additional mobilization. and so it would be a very risky endeavor to whether or not they're prepared. and in a good state, the russian is also not in a good state. how much influence does bruton have over lucas anchor? if he has major influence, because a man's pressure by russia, by putting ever since a residential actions in august 2020 and had to fortify it the result politically, he would never have survived if he hadn't been supported by russia. so in the recent last year, recent months, russia has put further pressure on bill, for example,

to do agree in increase integration in the context of a russian state union. so in the, in the field, for example, a unified text policy a, has lost some of its economics or entity and the better vision opposition led by it. it was, for example, here now that i was eventually it's political sovereignty. political scientists not to class. thank you. thank you. you, cranium. refugees may have been the target of a suspected anson attack on a hotel, and ne, in germany. police are investigating after a fire read through the hotel way. several refugees will do been. 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 guest, 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 told us 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 if arson is confirmed, then we would consider this an inhumane crime. colder, 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 under way into the cause of the fire is being led by a police unit that specializes in politically motivated crimes. from all its cost over to our political correspond to razor trump. how are people reacting to what happened there? well, it was a huge shock for people all over germany and also for politicians. he and berlin, german interior minister, nancy fizzer, visited the site and said that if investigations did indeed confirm that it was an arson attack, then the response of the state will be a very tough one. and that is such an act would not be tolerated at any level. and while police are trying to investigate to carried out the attack, people here and berlin are also questioning who might be politically responsible. so for example, as, as get askan who is a co leader of all of shots as social democrats. she said,

and they had some conservative parties share part of the blame, naming of leadership mats, the leader of the biggest opposition party, who were while ago sir accused ukrainian refugees of welfare tourism, and then apologized for it and ask and said that she thought it was scary, there was no longer only the far right if the party making populous remarks about refugees, but also a conservative parties. what would you say is the overall mood in germany? well, the overall mood is very different to that. i mean, germany has taken in around a 1000000 ukrainian refugees since russia attacked the country. and they were able to enter germany without a visa. they can apply for temporary residency. they can work here, they can go to school, then it can apply for them. social benefits and many germans have donated or even offered a place to stay. and while that huge weighed off her help has somewhat apt away. especially now that the germans are also getting to feel

a bit of the consequences. the overall mood is still very supportive to trumpet. thank you very much. always prime minister les tress announcing her resignation for office brit and stock job is up for grabs again. and the search is on process stepping down after 6 weeks in office makes attend to the shortest bridge history. so you may because of the tory party saying her replacement will be found in a week. speculation was rife regarding who will take a place with many counting, even a possible return of former prime minister boris johnson. on the streets of england, many were happy, the trust was leaving the job. but when asked, who should replace the outgoing p. m. and he struggled. frances, i'm glad to see the back of us. i think he's been out that a awful incompetent. so i'm glad she's resigned. i don't know what's gonna happen life. i guess the last. yeah. all of

a really huge you think it should replace it? i don't know. i don't really know. i mean, maybe like richie snack, just because he was the run rough enough installation they did. but didn't. it's not necessary to breath best choice. difficult to say they all seem as bad as each other really can't really say d, w correspond a big masters following events. it landed a good many brits as well as opposition. parties are asking for you general election. why is that not going to happen? well that's right or is snap poles showed that a majority of british people would actually prefer that and obviously the opposition party labor and the liberal democrats. they are calling for a general election. however, within the conservative party and they would have to decided,

there really is no appetite because the opposition parties are leading almost like 30 pounds or in the lead to the conservative and peas. no, that they would lose their job. and in the end, it would be the conservative government to cold, call the shots, the conservative in peace, to call the shots for a general election. so at the moment, it really doesn't look very lightly. what about the likelihood of the return of bars johnson? boys, johnson is still, and that might surprise many viewers. he's still the favorite within the party base . so he's remembered by and his re cherished by many ordinary party members to somebody who, who is a vote when, when he was a vote. very when he reached out to vate, is that the conservative party were never able to reach out before. and he delivered the huge majority in the house of commons, and he's really loved by many conservative visitors. he's also loved why some

people in the country but by others was hated. so he's really like a mom at figure, some love and some love him. and some hate him, we does have chances to go come back as a prime minister, it would be a surprise, a curveball, obviously if he came back after such a short time. but his chances are not that bad. however, if it did happen and would create more time, or that's for sure, because many conservative m p 's and they would have to cooperate with him. they remember him as somebody who are possibly misled parliament. there is an investigation as to whether he lied to parliament and also he was find over what was will called party gate, where he was seen drinking and socializing with his colleagues during the cove. it locked down so many say some m p say i really wouldn't work with him. so he would definitely not be somebody who would stabilize the country. and i think this is what a lot of british people are really craving. they want a stability, they want

a stable government. i'm in the time of economic crisis. sounds like a tricky task. let's see if they can get it done in a week. t w corresponded big mass in london to iran. now, where the protest sparked by the death of mass armenia close to entering their 6th week, despite a crack down by security forces. demonstrations continue to break out in universities and in the streets in tehran and elsewhere. internet restrictions have failed to suppress videos of other tests like this one here. these hugs being given out by 2 women refusing to wear their hit jap bye to passes by. well, journalists have also struggle to continue their work around as rated as one of the 10 worst countries for press freedom in the world. and many journalists have been arrested during the current crack them. one of them is journalists need to far how maybe she broke the news about meanies death on twitter with a photo she took of her parents hugging each other on the day their daughter died. she's being held in solitary confinement in

a runs notorious in prison. also known is that she survived the fire that recently broke out there. and yada mo, i e re, a prominent photo journalist was also arrested while covering protests in tehran. father says she's being held in a female only detention facility outside to run. earlier i asked masa ali mcdonny a researcher who focuses on freedom of expression in iran. what she made of the intensity of this cracked out. so yes, i have been following this news. i mean, since the 2009, a protest movement against the re election, a president our medina shot, 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,

bye. 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 susan 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 of 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 to am, when protests 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 ass 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 act button, which is this building complex and to her on where that video you rep, 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 crack down people need to stand up against this. has definitely been feeding and being, you know, powered through social media. such a was i by donnie really extraordinary stuff. thank you very much for feeling said happy to be here. thank you. and a reminder of our top story. ukrainian president blow to me as to lansky, says russian voices of mind to hydro electric damp in the has song region is, has hundreds of thousands of residents could be at risk of rapid flooding. if the
