ah, death the harmony death to the dictator. slogans often her during rounds street protests. it's directed at this man. i itala ali, how many the supreme leader of the country since the beginning of the unrest in september. he is belittle his critics. he says the protest by iranian women and girls are controlled from abroad in barrow moody. it is quite clear that all this was planned by america izzy and the fake usurping zionist regime and their followers led j. leah. so eunice, the tammany has fought all his life around to be in his lamp republic. he began training as a cleric during his childhood. in the 1950s. at that time, iran was ruled by the shall an autocrat who severely limited the influence of religion in the country. how many join the ayatollah khomeini,

he's opposition. movements that in 1979 overthrew the shar to the cheers of millions. oh, how many died? 10 years later. and how many was chosen by the religious council of experts to succeed him? 100 since then he's been the supreme authority in iran. there are regular presidential elections in the country in which i'm a ne, also vote. but in the end it is he not the president who has the final say, ah, and he has made his positions clear time and time again. this is and rooted in foreign policy. he sees the usa and israel as arch enemies. you don't all but he has repeatedly denied the holocaust that had been as domestically. he relies on censorship, surveillance, and security forces to defend the ideals of the islamic revolution. no force garden,

under harmony, the iranian revolutionary god has become a notorious force that has repeatedly quashed protest. oh, including in recent weeks, following the death of gina masa, many in police custody harmony says he backs the crackdown younger than they thought they could. rip out the roots of the islamic republic, but that small sapling has now turned into a massive tree. anyone who even thinks about approaching this tree is completely wrong. runker silicon. ronald how many once said that he is ready to sacrifice everything for the revolution. and for his lamb, and he is always defended his power with few compromises. the iranian government has imposed sanctions on german politicians and institutions, including dw farsi service. the measures are said to have been prom, prompted to by the european union's recent sanctions against the tehran government

over it's brutal crackdown on ongoing protests. responding to the move detail, the use director general peter lim book said to the iranian government has been threatening d. w, as far as the editors and their families for some time now. and that this is unacceptable. adding that the regime promotes terrorism inside and outside the country. in a statement, he said, i expect politicians in germany and europe to increase the pressure on the regime. the fact that we appear on such a list now will not stop us from providing our uses in iran with reliable information. let's get a european perspective on this now. swedish social democrat and member of the european parliament in sir is an iran specialist. and you join us now from brussels . very good to have you with us. i would just like to start by picking up on what we just heard in the tehran taking aim at members of the european parliament as well as several german institutions, including t w's far see program,

accusing them of supporting terrorism. what is your reaction to that? thank you for having me. this is actually how pressing yeah, regimes and dictator is the react instead of understanding that it needs to be an end on the blood back that he has started and khomeini and, and the regime of the world. they are targeting those defending democracy and human rights. this means that the, you and the member states need to increase their sanctions against them less and included. also, i should say their families that are living in peace and freedom in their western countries. so will increasing sanctions really do the trick last week that you impose fresh sanctions against them? morality, police, as well as several iranian officials now to the people though in iran, those who are risking their lives. why should they believe that the sanctions will bring about any real change when past sanctions happened?

the section that were adopted last week with just one step. and we were of course, hoping that the situation in and around we change that to be a dictatorship of them unless will understand that the oppression that is taking place in the country cannot continue anymore. and that there will be a change. but we see that there is not, there hasn't been a change. and as we have stepped out and increase our sanctions against tooting, we also need to continue doing it against them or less because when it affects their lives and when it affects their family's life, then i think they will understand that they will not be able to continue the suppression against women against minorities, against the population in the countries as they have been doing until now. but the pilot sanctions on top of sanctions and so far, no real effect. certainly not 11 wishes for that looks like the

you can't really do much more against such a regime. i would not say that it's a rather shows that we need to show our strength even more that we haven't acted. and now that i would like to add that as i mentioned, see more sanctioned increased sanctions, but also against the families of the malaise and those behind the fix situation right now. but i would also actually like to see a u. p in union that i understand that maybe it's time to actually also expand the ambassadors of the european union. so my answer to that is that we haven't done enough. well, thank you so very much for your time. european parliament member just be to social democrats in it's you, they're speaking to us from brussels. thank you so much. thank you.

let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. hundreds of syrian refugees have returned home from lebanon under a repatriation scheme that the government had posted during the pandemic. liberties authorities say it's voluntary, but rights groups are concerned that refugees may be pressured to return to the war torn country. new video has emerged showing the lead up to china's a former leader being escorted from the communist party congress, who jin towel was seated next to president. judging, paying on saturday before being led away. the move her stoked speculation that mister who was upset that some allies had been stripped of power. china's ambassador to south korea says that the 79 year old was tired and taking a break. britton's new prime minister richie soon ok has appointed his cabinet to jeremy hunt remains as finance minister, promising to fix the you case economic crisis. mister sudak has also re appointed

swell braverman as interior minister days after she resigned from this trust government. tens of thousands have rallied against an election recount in boston as a cert majority region. the protesters won't hotline nationalist mil roddic confirmed as president of a republican sips cup. dordy can claim to victory in the october 2nd general election, but has made his main contender has accused him of rigging. the boat jojo, ukraine's defense minister says the counter offensive in the southern harrison region is approving more difficult then in the north east to due to the weather and the nature of the terrain. ukrainian troops have been forcing the russians back and liberating land in the region for weeks. they are getting closer to russian forces on the west bank of the knee pro river and are expected to soon attempt to retake the city of harrison. anticipating the ukranian. advancing kremlin back to

authorities have been moving civilians to locations for the east. but an adviser to president zalinski says moscow is strengthening its frontline in her son rather than preparing to retreat. and let's pick that up with our correspondent manufacture in tier. funny, have russian force has changed tactics since their recent withdrawal to the east bank of the ne, pro river depends on how you look at it. the very fact that during the run of basically to what seems very imminent right now, this fight over harrison city that we're going to control house the city. is russia going to maintain control, or is ukraine going to liberate the regional cap? the regional capital. this very far, what seems to be a likely now within a couple of days, has made russian forces a change some of the tactics for one. they are basically encouraging a local ukrainians in the regional capital there to join

a local militia. now you really wonder just how voluntarily local ukraine is. they are going to joy a local militia. that is then likely going jobs, the pick up or guns against ukrainian forces. also, they have moved tens of thousands, according to rush in information about 70000 people across the new per a river. that is basically separating the region between the west and east and bank . saying that this is important because of what is supposed to happen there. in the capital, which is more into shelling and so on. what, when it comes to the question will also russian forces withdraw from the capital? no, certainly not. also, the ukrainian government pointed out just today that there is no indication, no signal whatsoever that the russian forces are going to leave and just handle the house and city the job. he's very much connected to the fact what role that regional capital plays for both ukraine by the way, but also for russia, i just wanna remember make the of us remember, they are recall that it's been occupied by russia from the beginning of the school

can invasion from march, 2nd, this year. right. so it, it seems to be very important. harrison city, certainly for ukraine and for russia. could you elaborate on that for us? why is it that important in this conflict in particular, hassan region is in the southern region in the southern part of ukraine. and if you look at the map, you also see that there is a land corridor, basically connecting the only land corridor connecting directly hassan region with crimea. now and next crimea russia and brought separate pro russian separate. it is a next from year 2014. so obviously for russia, it's important to have an upper hand over the hearse from region to make sure they can supply the forces from crimea and russia in her still to make sure they can advance through that into the country. rifle, ukraine, it is very, very pivotal to take control of a house in region to liberate where some city to get an upper hand themselves into

eventually also liberate and ex crimea. but that's a really of a rocky road ahead and a smiley port because as we're speaking right now, i'm just hearing at the latest number of civilian casualties of a people that have been zoomed here in ukraine at the latest number of your hearing . 1000 people, including civilians including soldiers, ukrainians, that have been exempt as ukraine is pressing ahead, is liberating villages. liberating settlements, just to find really tragedies at scattered in mass graves in many parts of the country, especially the south and ended on bus region blind. well, sadly, the gruesome story continues. there, dw, is fani f, a shar there. thank you so much for that. jama chance a lot will, are shots met for talks with french president manuel mccaul in paris relations between the 2 leaders of the u. s. largest economies are tense, amid disagreements over european defense,

energy and trade policies. the talks came after the postponement of a regular joint of governmental meeting last week. frances finance minister has admitted relations are strained, saying that a reset is needed liquidity throughout the digital world. let's find out if this sir reset happened already. you know, sir, let's bring in d. w, correspond lisa louis in perez, lisa, we hear that the meeting has just ended. did anything come of it? well, i have to search from a german government sources that this was a very good meeting that it was very intense, that it was full of thought with friendship with corporation that a lot of different topics were discussed, such as energies such as the economy. they talked even about space, they said it was a great success, but mind you bear in mind that this was a downsized version of what was supposed to happen. there was

a franco german ministerial meeting that was planned that was called of in extremis . last week, you know, that meeting normally is supposed to happen once a year, according to current rules between the 2 countries. and now instead of that, mister shows, the german chancellor came here for a flying visit. there was no common press conference. there was no statement, not the separate one, not a common one. say what we saw here could be at best a 1st step towards a non torn cordial. but we're not there yet. i think. yeah, i mean very, very different. her pictures there and signals then. um, we'll have shelters, predecessor angle america. the relationship with the french president are observing this. what would you say? what are the key differences that the 2 leaders we're trying to, hopefully i and out. i think there are lots of differences in opinion between france and germany. has always been like that when it comes to energy when it comes

to defense when it comes to the economy. and they said that they talked about this today. obviously carl lee, this is really all the more urgent because we have a war in europe in ukraine. the russian invasion in ukraine, europe is facing an energy crisis. we are facing any konami crisis and they are trying these leaders have been trying to find common ground to find common got when it comes to how to fight. for example, raising energy prices, where the views in germany and france diverge largely they've also, they will also talk about, you know, have talked about a defense. france has like a slightly different stand point. then compared to germany, which seems to be wanting to bet on, you know, international technology such as american or israeli technology in france wants to build up a european system. now the 2 leaders apparently talked about that and they said that they understood each other better. and that they will corporate more closely

in the future. right. where you say there's a lot of those differences on that new. i mean, what does it mean for the european union when 2 of its biggest, the biggest member states are, are having some difficulties. it is very difficult for them is also very difficult for the you of is he, these are the 2 largest economies. they have to work together. one normally says that france and germany have to find common ground. they represent the most divergent opinions within the european union. and if they find a compromise or the other member states can align behind this comprise, now, that doesn't mean that there will be a lot of movement in the you right away. but it does mean actually that when there is no compromise between france and germany, when they're not talking, not finding any common ground, the, you can't really act as it should be acting. so it's really important for these 2

leaders to, you know, come together, give each other a hug, find some common love, and move forward together. it beautiful pictures you just her painted there for me, a leisurely reporting from ferris. thank you so much. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now as tension sema over the war in ukraine. the kremlin says, russian president vladimir putin has monitored strategic nuclear weapons drills u. s. officials say they received notice of the exercise which involved practice launches of a ballistic and cruise missiles. moscow said it was a simulation of a massive retaliatory strike after a simulated attack on russia. the german cabinet has approved a plan to partially legalize cannabis germans wouldn't be punished for possessing to up to 30 grams of marianna, offer growing limited amounts and selling it to adults in licensed shops. but

germany's health minister says the changes must square with the law before legislation is put forward a lack of clean water and a health system devastated by more than 10 years of war, of fueling a deadly cholera outbreak in syria. united nation says that more than 24000 people across the country of contracted the highly contagious disease with he is it could spread across the middle east 0 air pollution may seem a daunting goal, but the european commission has now set out a proposal to reach that target by 2015, the commission laid out plans to achieve major reductions in air and water pollution, a ground contamination and waste. the you estimates that nearly $300000.00 europeans die each year from air pollution alone. among the proposals is a rule to cut the most harmful particular emissions by more than

a 75 percent in the next decade by from all it. so bring in didn't use jack park in a brussels jack. how does the european commission plan to achieve these rather ambitious goals? well, that is the big question. this proposal doesn't actually explain how they're going to do it. they want the member states of the european union to decide that they do say that there's money in the distant different schemes of system and funds that are available to the countries. but it does kind of make sense that they would do that because each individual country and each individual region in city has different ways and different things that they need to do to reduce pollution. what the commission has done is set the targets they want by 2050 for their to be 0. pollution air pollution in the european union. they want by 2030 to reduce it by about 75 percent. this still isn't in line with what world health organization is saying regarding particulars in the air. the commissions outlined some pretty

astounding statistics. i think around 300000 people a year die because of this. and that's why they're sort of laying down the goal here to say we need to do something about this. we need to do it quickly and we need the member states to act on. it also does interim measures. the center him decision by 2030 will allow citizens to see exactly how well their regional country is doing so that if that they're not doing well enough, they can take their country or their regional government caught over it. all right, and that basically we do the math that gives them about 7 years or for the 20, a 30, an interim goal. and of course they're not just concerned about air pollution. are they neither not. this proposal also looks at water pollution. they spoke in their press conference about micro plastics being in newborn babies when they're born. it was my micro pollution. they've also reduced the target for, for reusing and recycling and pulling nutrients out of waste water in rivers from

settlements of 2000 people down to a 1000 people. so really trying to force regional and local governments to do much more. but also on top of it, they're putting pressure on pharmaceutical companies. it's estimated that about 92 percent of all of the detritus and the, the sort of bad stuff that's in our water comes from the waste of pharmaceutical companies. and this proposal wants to put the onus on those pharmaceutical companies to clean it up. so whoever makes the mess is responsible to clean it up. i fair enough. ah, how realistic do you think is it to expect an end to apaloosa my 2050? dead difficult question. right. how. how, how well can the, the member states do it? it's a bit of a desperate picture at the moment and at the current situation, 18 of the used 27 countries aunt meeting their current targets. there is an understanding that more needs to be done. there is an understanding that the european commission with this proposal is actually giving it a bit of

a kick to try and get it moving. question is, how quickly can they move and use a climate organizations in actively say these proposals are nowhere near enough government say that very ambitious and very difficult to me. the commission is trying to land somewhere in the middle. right. jack barrack, they're reporting for us from brussels. jack, thank you so much to asia now and a psy clone has said to bangladesh, killing at least 2 dozen people around a 1000000 residents have been forced to move to safety, bangladesh and other countries in the region are regularly hit by psych loans. but research indicates that climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels is making such storms more intense and more frequent. my family's house in fed and bungler dish has been badly affected by the flood. the water has still not completely defeated. she tries to protect what hath been left and damaged
