5:05 pm
including in recent weeks, following the death of gena mazar, meaning in police custody. harmony says he backs the crackdown younger than they thought they could. rip out the roots of these landing republic, but that small sapling has now turned into a massive tree. any one who even thinks about approaching this tree is completely wrong runcle wrong and how many want said that he is ready to sacrifice everything for the revolution and for islam. and he is always defended his power with few compromises. the rainy government has imposed sanctions on german politicians and institutions including dw farsi service . he w as director general peter lynbrook, how strongly criticized the move and urged you leaders to increase the pressure on the regime and to run. or we highly condemn the move of the iranian regime. it is
5:06 pm
totally unacceptable. how. how will these sanctions affect the people on this list? are they and their families in any danger? i think yes um it is much more dangerous. if you are on such a list, we cannot see into the hearts and minds of the iranian government. but the danger is now bigger than before, for the people who might not travel again to iran, because they are on the list who still were able to travel. and especially for their family members who are in iran. and we have seen that the iranian government, hers harassed the people of our staff, and they also arrest the members of their family. so i think the danger is bigger now than before. how will these sanctions affect d w's reporting in iran? i think we will continue to do what we did and the, the situation hasn't changed dramatically concerning our reporting. we see it as
5:07 pm
our task to bring unbiased and correct information to our uses in iran and our father department. and we will continue to do so. and what is the w doing to fight the sanctions? well, 1st of all, i think her, we have to condemn them and we have to name what it is. the iranian government a sponsoring terror within its own country, but also abroad. and i urge german and european politicians to put more pressure on iran to really highlight this topic because it has been a scandal in the past how iran is treating international media. and it is a scandal now the ws director general peter limbo speaking there earlier. i spoke to evan in sir, a member of the european parliament and a swedish politician of kurdish descent. she gave me her perspective of the events
5:08 pm
unfolding and iran. this is actually how pressing and regimes and dictators react instead of understanding that it needs to be an end on their blood bath. that the yes started and the economy and the regime of the law. 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 tresh 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 sanctions that that were adopted last week with just one step. and we were of
5:09 pm
course, hoping that the situation in 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 no, there hasn't been a change. and as we have stepped out and increase those sanctions against to team, we also need to continue doing it against the molars. because when it affects their lives and when he defects 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 and t 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 piling and sanction or rather shows
5:10 pm
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 tension, 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. and 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. yeah, european parliament member. just be just social democrats. 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 news around the world. hundreds of syrian refugees have returned home from lebanon under a repatriated scheme,
5:11 pm
that the government had paused during the pandemic. lebanese authorities say it's voluntary, but rights groups are concerned that refugees may be pressured to return to the war torn country. britons new prime minister re she soon arc has appointed his cabinet . jeremy hunt remains as finance minister, promising to fix the you case, economic crisis. mister sudak has also re appointed as well a braverman as interior minister days after she resigned from this trust government tens of thousands have rallied against an election recount in boston. yes sir. majority region. the protesters want hard lie. national is the middle routed audi confirmed as president of republican. is it skips phillips car? dodie claimed a victory in the october 2nd general election. but his main contender has accused him of rigging the boats. ukraine's defense minister says
5:12 pm
the counter offensive in the southern harrison region is proving more difficult than in the north east to due to the weather and the nature of the terrain. ukrainian troops have been forcing the russians back and deliberating land in the region for weeks. they are getting closer to russian forces on the west bank of the nitro river and are expected to soon attempt to retake the city of harrison anticipating the ukrainian advance credit back to authorities have been moving civilians to locations for the east. but an adviser to president lansky says moscow is strengthening its frontline in house on rather than preparing to retreat. earlier our correspondence funny for sharon keith analyzed the situation in person for us. i asked her whether russian forces have changed tactics since they reasoned 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 phase, if he to what seems very imminent right now,
5:13 pm
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 he's in a couple of days and has made russian forces a change some of the tactics for one. they are basically encouraging a local ukrainians in the regional capital. they are to join a local militia. now you really wonder just how voluntarily local ukraine is. they are going to join our local militia. that is then likely going to obviously pick up the guns against ukrainian forces. also, they have moved tens of thousands, according to russian information about 70000 people across the nipper, a river that is basically separating the region between at the west and east and back. saying that this is important because of what is supposed to happen there in the capital, it is more intense shelling and so on. what, when it comes to the question will also rush and forces withdraw from the capital.
5:14 pm
no, certainly not. also, the ukrainian government pointed out just to day that there is no indication, no signal whatsoever that the russian forces are going to leave and just handle the house and city the jobs. 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 schools can invasion for march, 2nd, this year. right. so it, it seems to be very important has on 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, which crimea now and next, crimea russia and brought separate pro russians separate it is it. and next from
5:15 pm
year 2014. so of the, 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 an ex crimea. but that's a re 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 it 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
5:16 pm
country, especially the south and ended on bus region lines well, sadly, the gruesome story continues. there dw is fani f, a shar there. thank you so much for that. reports by one of the was leading medical journals says that climate change is the threatening people's health around the world. the lancets annual count down report found that heat related illnesses, food insecurity, and the spread of infectious diseases are all being worsened by the continuing use of fossil fuels. it makes the point that extreme weather conditions are increasing globally with heat related death rising by 2 thirds and the last 2 decades. the reports office also say that immediate action on clean energy could still save millions of lives. of a more this sir lead sir, bring in a dr. maria near rod the director of public health at the world health organization . very good to have you with us. please tell us what kind of
5:17 pm
a threat to people's health are we looking at exactly. i think we has now more done them very strong evidence telling us that the crime crisis represent us a very strong global health crisis. and he's because of most of the up is because they burning a fossil fuel driving both right. mentor change an air pollution and air condition every year is. busy responsible for more than 7000000 grandma to 3rd days due to this posters to those problems that we are reading, we need to change set of things on our system and all of that really quite an investment, which is our common sense one on, on great movement will energy of green sourcing energy because keeping the at the mercy of the forces or says, will represent a major 24 hour put hour south of casa, sadly,
5:18 pm
we know that the impact of climate change is so already failed. hottest in regions that don't really contribute to global warming. what can developing nations do to prepare for a climate change induced health crisis? and this is exactly one of the strongest arguments as well to do more on talking because of climate cheese dos, work not contributing, or that one suffering the most. we need to make sure that those countries have access to transition to green or sources of energy that their systems are more climate received and then they need the fonts as well. busy for adopting and then to the climate change that piece already happening. so we will see more infectious diseases. we will see more issues related to the security and then the rotation. and we will see the placement, ration even problems or have this affecting already. so what can they do is to use
5:19 pm
their voices to accelerate these issues so much so much needed investments for damage is that covered with cost more technologies for shooting these to you. more renewable energy situation in the continents, and therefore by doing start reducing the impact on, on where you're saying i'm going to have to raise their voices also for developed nations to listen because they're the ones who contribute certainly to greenhouse gas emissions the most and have done so for a long time, what do you think it takes to convince rich countries that this is not just a problem for other people? i think that the hillside human can be one of the most powerful if we tell people that this is a problem for darren shows any sending media problem not use the for the next generation and not just for the blended, but we are very much a priest from
5:20 pm
a health point of view and the problems that we are spending a ravia incredible amounts of getting suvs used to fossil fuels, which other ones. busy responsive for their health problems, we are happy that the health cease thing is already spending a lot of treating the chronic diseases that are caused by explosion. do air pollution for each of the cardiovascular and respiratory cc? so it would be a common insane scene vestment to a stop this destruction of day we'll see stems, renewable energy a celebrate the navy. our mission in this need to transition to that in, of course, is stopping. they'd be new. so for the burden of fossil fuels, which are responsible for many and diseases and negative impacts in all of us, the economies would benefit from as well. the reporters as well. how many jobs we're losing and ours we are good because of the damage caused by the grammar.
5:21 pm
warming writer. doctor maria. thank you so much for sharing your insights with us on this a very important topic. thank you. chairman johnson, i will ashad met 4 talks with french president, a manuel macklin in paris. now relations between the 2 leaders of the largest economies attends a made to disagreements over european defense energy and trade policies. the talks came after the postponement of a regular joint governmental meeting. last week. frances finance minister has admitted relations restraint, saying that a reset to you is needed approval. 3 dollar digital would you did all the correspondence. lisa louis covered the meeting for us in paris, and i asked her if the 2 leaders were able to come to any sort of consensus. well, i have to cert from a german government sources that this was
5:22 pm
a very good meeting that it was very intense, that it was filled up, filled 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 a 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,
5:23 pm
i mean very, very different. her pictures there and signals then. um, we'll have shelters, predecessor angular makeover. 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
5:24 pm
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. obviously 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
5:25 pm
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 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 come together, give each other a hug, find some common love, and move forward together. that beautiful pictures you just her painted there for me. a leisurely reporting from ferris. thank you so much. to asia and a psy clone. has had bangladesh killing at least 2 dozen people around a 1000000 residents have been forced to move to safety, bangladesh and to 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
