against 8 e u. entities and 12 individuals in those 8 entities and 12 persons sat during what's happened recently in iran that supported and encouraged terrorism on extremism and violence. bear him our yard, attached to the tear. all hundreds of protesters have been killed by the government's brutal track down. but they seem united in their mission to push for a regime change. their movement has become one of the biggest challenge for the countries clerical leadership. ah. so the reigning government has imposed sanctions on german politicians and institutions, including dw farsi service, d w, as director general peter limbo responded to the decision urging you lead us to increase pressure on the regime in terror. or we highly condemn the move of the iranian regime. it is 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 or 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 the 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 is

our task to bring on bias 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 reigning 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. did other years director general peter lindberg speaking there? earlier i spoke to evan in sir. she's a member of the european parliament and a swedish politician of kurdish descent. she gave me her perspective for the events unfolding in a run. this is actually how pressing yeah,

regimes. andy tudor is the react instead of understanding that it needs to be an end on their blood bath that there he has started and khomeini and dare and the yeah. regime of the law, they are targeting those defending democracy and human rights. this means that the e u and the member states need to increase their sanctions against them are less and included. also, i should say their families that are living in peace and freedom in their western countries. so will increasing sanctions are really due the trig 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? sanctions that were adopted last week was 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 we 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 our sanctions against tooting, we also need to continue doing it against them or less because when it affects their lives and went into effect, 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

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 more less and those behind the horrific situation right now. but i would also actually like to see a european 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 does better social democrats in it's you, they're speaking to us from brussels. thank you so much. thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. german chancellor shawls has been meeting french president, manuel marconi for talks in paris relations between the leaders of for the use to

biggest economies are tense, amid disagreements over european defense, energy and trade policies. the talks come after a regular joint governmental meeting was postponed last week on duty when you hundreds of syrian refugees have returned home from lebanon. the under a repatriation scheme that the government had pause and that refugees may be pressured to return to the war torn country. and you report from the u. n. world meteorological organisation shows the 3 main greenhouse gases hit record highs and the atmosphere last year. the report labels agriculture as a major source of the greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, and methane delegates from around the world are to meet for climate change talks next week at the club, $27.00 conference in egypt as tensions rise over the war and ukraine, the kremlin says russian president vladimir putin has monitor strategic nuclear weapons drills. u. s. officials say they received notice of the exercise which

involved practice launches of ballistic and cruise missiles. moscow said it was a simulation of a massive retaliatory strike after a simulated attack on russia. ukraine's defense minister says the counter offensive and the southern hassan 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 liberating land in the region for weeks. they getting closer to russian forces on the west bank of the ne pro river and are expected to soon attempt to retake the city of harrison. anticipating the ukrainian advance. criminal back to authorities have been moving civilians to locations for the east, but an adviser to president to lance. he says moscow is strengthening its wrong line in harrison rather than preparing to retreat. earlier our correspondent fan if a shar in key if analyze the situation in person for us,

i asked her whether russian forces have 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 space, if he to what seems very imminent right now, this fight over harrison city that we're going to control. harrison 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 russian information about 70000 people across the new per

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, which is more intense shelling and so on. what, when it comes to the question will also rush in forces withdraw from the capital? no, certainly not. also, the crating 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 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 you as remember, they are recall that it's been occupied by russia from the beginning of this was can invasion from march. second, this year. nato allies have been stepping up military deployments in eastern europe, romania. she has a long border with ukraine, and it now hosts one of nato's new battle groups. a country is pledged to increase its defense spending by almost 10000000000 euros. and the next 4 years, d,

but the menial naval forces have the capability to god will chain of security of each and every remaining citizens of every citizen belonging to the alliances and structure. we are part of the organs of ocean all over to the new threat level as a result of russia's aggression in ukraine has made otherwise routine drills like this more intense. especially in this part of europe. the so called east and flank of native where the alliance has beefed up its presence following russia's full scale invasion of ukraine in february 2022, nato reinforced its multinational battle groups in poland and in the baltic states . the alliance also agree to establish for more in bulgaria, hungary, slovakia, and romania. this has brought the total number of these battle groups to age, extending nato's forward presence from the baltic sea in the north to the black sea in the south. nato now has some 40000 troops under its direct command in eastern

europe, 3 quarters of them in those 8 battle groups. but these drills about reading these romanian, maybe troops who will likely be the 1st to get caught up. if nato decided to deploy forces along the coastline of the black sea, this is dw news coming up next, our documentary series doc fil chance. the history of conflict in libya over the past decade. and monica jones, thanks for watching. i have been friends and i have been better because we tried to to show 3 of face mafia over the world. environmentalists are in danger. ruthless corporations corrupt government.
