don't eat on blamed western boundless for fueling the protests valet hast now hot, we have announced a new list of italian foreign ministry sanctions against to eat you entities and 12 individuals have been in hast now those eat entities and 12 people died during what happened recently in iran, athletic is supported and encouraged terrorism thought extremism and violence, him all yet of attached to the events. harold hundreds of protest have, have been killed by the government's duty tacked down a dissing, united indian mission to push put any team change. their movement has become one of the biggest challenges for the country for political leadership or the ready government has imposed sanctions on german politicians and institutions, including dw farsi language service,

t w's director general heater lindberg to day calling that move unacceptable. i expect politicians in germany and europe to increase the pressure on the regime. lindberg said the fact that we appear on such a list now will not stop us from providing our users in iran with reliable information. i want to go now to jasmine ramsey. she is the director deputy director at the new york based center for human rights in iran. it's good to have you with this these projects they've been going on now for more than a month. we've seen the west impose new sanctions on iran. do you see any sign though, that the regime is bowing to pressure from outside as well as from inside the country? no, absolutely not. it's actually increasing its repression on the streets. and we saw a massive security presence in more than a dozen cities across the run today. as there were mass protests on the 14th day. since messiah means dead,

it's been 6 weeks. we know that in the past there have been movements protest, movements that have been snuffed out by cracked down by the regime. do you think that the protestors this time can keep this momentum go? of course, it's up to the protesters themselves, but the fact that they have been going on for as long as they have given the lethal force that the state has been using to repress these protest speaks to the growth of the movement. of course, it's not just now that these protests started. it's part of an evolving movement that's been going on for years, and he rides, trying to address the faces of impunity that runs rampant in the government. and we have reports that more than a 100 people had died since these approaches began. do you worried that the actual death toll of is much higher? and are you worried that that the correct now we're seeing is going to get worse. of course it's gonna get worse, and that's why we're calling on the un human rights council to set up a special urgent session to establish independent reporting and accountability

mechanisms. this call by many human rights groups including our center for the human rights. and iran was bolstered today by more than 20 special wrapper tours at when, who had initially called on the iranian government to allow an independent investigation into masa means death. and that those halls were ignored. so now these special rapid tours are also calling for the un human rights council to establish sessions . so this really needs to move beyond statements of condemnation to collective action on the international stage miserably. i just want to ask you there, you know, iran is already dealing with a massive sanctions coming from the west. why do you think then that getting anything from in the united nations? what, what do you think that's going to make the regime change its course with these sanctions have not been able to do that? well, what you're seeing right now is people rising up to call out against the mass repression that's going on on a scale. and that's why the international community needs to band together to

support these people. there needs to be costs enacted on the government. any right, so that it doesn't believe that business can occur, go on as usually the nuclear jill should be put on hold. iran has membership on the status of women commission in the u. n. the most important institution in the u. n . for gender equality, iran should be ejected from that. there needs to be costs and there's still needs to be a lot more done and a can be done on the international stage before we can give us and say there's nothing that the world can do. the supreme leader, the ayatollah hominy, has claimed that these protests are being controlled by foreign governments. how do you read that claim? this man has been in power as a decades. he's unelected, and he holds absolute power over the entire country. i wanted the chance that you constantly here among massive protest, different facets of society,

is debt to dictate our debt to honey. so this is lanet republic have been calling for, for years. it's been saying that all these protests are somehow spurred by outside powers. but there's hundreds of thousands of people that are risking their lives to come out into the streets. they're the ones that live in that country and under that government. and they have every right to speak out against that to exercise a constitutional right to protest without the threat of death of voice. jasmine ramsey with the center for human rights in iran. we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. let's take a look now in some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . hundreds of syrian refugees have returned home from lebanon under a repatriation scheme that the government had paused during the pandemic liberties authority say its voluntary, but rights groups are concerned that refugees may be pressured to return to the war torn country, a lack of clean water and

a health system devastated by more than 10 years of war, or fueling a deadly cholera outbreak in syria un says more than 24000 people across the country have detracted the highly contagious disease. with fears that it could spread across the entire middle east. as tensions rise 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 ballistic and cruise missiles. moscow said that it was a simulation of a massive retaliatory strike after a simulated attack on russia. oh, or russia's military staged nuclear exercises on wednesday. under the watchful eye of president vladimir putin. the drills included multiple practice launches of ballistic missiles in what moscow says was a simulated retaliation for any nuclear attack on russia.

ah ballistic missiles blasted on a dramatic show of rushes nuclear capability weapons launching from land sea and the sky. all under president putin supervision, rushes defense minister reporting the drills which are held annually simulated a massive nuclear strike and retaliation for a nuclear attack on russia. the exercise comes dispute and blamed the united states for its involvement and the conflict. what alyssa uses, what was really conflict, we see in the example of ukraine, which has become an instrument of american who aren't policy, it is actually lost at sovereignty and is directly controlled by the united states, which has using it as a battering ram against russia, with the liberty, what alyssa usa, person again claiming russia is preparing a so called dirty bomb. dirty bombs contain radioactive material,

but not nearly as powerful as nuclear bombs. his claims have been roundly rejected by ukraine and western leaders. assistant bruton is failing on the battlefield. his responding with more indiscriminate attacks on ukrainian cities against civilians are against the critical infrastructure armed with dangers nuclear rhetoric. ah, the russian drills come and nato holds its own annual nuclear exercises in north western europe. for someone else's now i'm joined by our very old russia analyst, roman country, ranko, roman. it's good to see you. how worry are these drills by russia or should we be worried at all? well, there are reasons for both to be worried and not to be worried. first, these drills come, this is not a surprise. russia normally does such drills in autumn in october. and the western

countries were warned about them. so, and observe us, we're expecting something like this to happen because of the war in ukraine, because the situation is tense and russia using its nuclear power to threaten the western to ukraine. so it is not surprising at all. on the other hand, the war has been going on in ukraine for over 8 months now. everybody is very under pressure, including the russian military. so you cannot exclude that in such as ration. something may go wrong. this was not a nuclear test, it was a test of missiles capable of carrying and nuclear nuclear warheads. but still, these are strategic weapons and they are very, very dangerous. and one thing more that, which makes me worry, is that last time russia did this was in february just a few days before the invasion of ukraine. so it could be kind of a signal to the west that russia is preparing to escalate there. and he does,

but he wonder, would these exercises be taking place if there were no invasion of ukraine taking place right now is how do these drills didn't fit into pollutants overall strategy? well, nuclear siggler, nit, signaling is very important to russia's policy in russia is doing this to threaten the west, as i've just said, especially to threaten it's and to prevent the best from delivering certain types of weapons to your grand, especially long range missiles russians or russian officials have repeated that many times and russia, there are 2 ways. russia is doing that. first president, putting himself is threatening the west to use nuclear weapons and of course he needs ashore will force. and this is exactly what we're seeing now. and maybe last but not least, these nuclear drills, the demonstration of russian force. we've seen missiles carried by

a sea by an underwater submarine. we've seen a launch from, from a strategic bonus. we've seen land launches the all 3 types of nuclear weapons were used to show and maybe to invite the west and ukraine to negotiate. so if you want, it is a russian way of inviting western countries and especially the government of ukraine to finally negotiate on russian terms. of course, w y l is wrong and controlling co is always wrong. and we appreciate your time if your analysis tonight but with winter approaching soldiers in ukraine will not just be battling the russian military. they will also be battling the elements of mother nature in eastern ukraine. preparations are under way to survive the winter, cold weapons and ammunition are crucial if the ukrainian military hopes to continue retaking ground seized by russia. but these soldiers and eastern ukraine's donnette screeching know that being prepared for

freezing temperatures will also be key to their survival in the coming months, from sleeping bags to socks to trenches. they aren't just bracing for battle, they're bracing for the cold winter and the dawn buses. hell, it's a step climate with freezing nights, temperatures down to minus 30 degrees celsius. i felt it in 2014. it's hell. there are no forests, regular winds and very low temperatures. with loser cold. so either this trench is just 700 meters from russian positions, but life goes on for the soldiers of the 5th assault brigade, one meter under ground, they wash, eat, and sleep by a wood fire stove. there's also a sana built using it tutorial they found on the internet. it wasn't 3 days to build a sona. first, we dug the ditch them, recovered it with

a special membrane and bags for to sustain at least minimum mortar fire. we shall them, it won't survive directed. what would we think it could survive and explosion from asia to caliber. fire was a, with her mother in year by har. heath close to the russian border, preparing for combat and the cold go hand in hand for this ukranian national guard unit. the logs will be used in a wood burning stove in a trench several meters down. there is already ground frost outside, inside a functional kitchen and sleeping quarters. these got full of more load you than this module. a cap shall, is a few meters below ground level. there's lots of sol above laguna and soil on the right to the basically it's a very warm space. it's also very safe, provides good protection in case of explosions. and at the same time, it protects us from cold the cold. my planning ahead ukraine's soldiers want to

make sure the winter as one battle they're prepared for or let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. at least 15 people have been killed and dozens more wounded after gunman attacking major shiite holy site in the uranian city of shiraz state t. v blamed the attack on sunni muslim extremist officials said to gunman were arrested, and a 3rd remains on the run. the mosque is the 2nd wholly of sight in iran, driven james earl of shoulds, met french president emanuel macaroni for talks to day in paris. relations between the leaders of the e. used 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, the german cabinet has approved the plan to partially legalize cannabis. it would end penalties for possession of up to 30 grams of marijuana and for growing limited

amounts as well as for selling it to adults in licensed shops. germany's health minister says the changes must square with. busy e before legislation is put forward. more climate alarms tonight from the un, a new report shows that the 3 main greenhouse gases hit record highs in the atmosphere of the planet last year. the report says agriculture is to blame for rising levels of nitrous oxide. now put the planet on course to exceed the limit for global warming that was agreed to back in 2015, delegates from around the world are scheduled to meet for climate change talks in egypt next week. i for more now i want to go to alden. my are an expert on international climate policy with the climate change. think tank e 3 g. he joins us tonight from cairo in egypt. it's good to have you with this. this report, i mean, does not make for pleasant reading and it's telling us,

or it seems to say that this window of time that we have, by the end of this decade, to keep temperatures from going above 2 degrees celsius. we're not going to do what we have to do to stay within that time frame. is that what's that? how you read this report? clearly it's indicating that we're not doing anywhere near enough to be under 2 degrees or even better to try to get as close to $1.00 degrees as possible. which of course was the rallying cry for last year's climate summit in glasgow. keep 1.5 alive. the report sure is marginal progress. last year's report at this time showed that emissions would be about 14 percent higher in the year 2030 than they were in 2010. this year's report says they'll be about 10 percent higher. but contrast that with what the world scientists tell us, which is that to have a good chance of being well below 2 degrees celsius. we have to cut emissions by 45

percent below 2010 levels in the next 7 years. clearly, there is a glaring, a absence of will and all too many countries to do that. and what kind of actions into governments need to take, especially we're talking about agriculture forming, being the source of this, this market increase in greenhouse gas emissions. well, actually agriculture is only one of the sectors we do have to deal with agriculture in terms of nitrous oxide and methane as you said. but of course the predominant gas has still carbon dioxide and that is largely generated by industrial, transportation, and energy sector emissions. one of the things we should stop doing is stop spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year, paying people to produce and burn more fossil fuels. the 1st rule, when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging. we're still paying hundreds of billions of dollars a year in taxpayer subsidies to consumers and companies to do the wrong thing. we

need to put policies and measures in place that speed up the transition to renewable energy, solar, wind, other clean technologies to advanced battery technology, storage technology, electric vehicles. we know what we have to do, but there are very powerful forces that are lobbying furiously to preserve the advantages they have under the cock, current fossil fuel, energy based strategy. and what about the war in ukraine? we've got nations here in europe right now that are scrambling and saying yes to a temporary increase in fossil fuels in order to meet their energy demand to be can cuts really be expected from countries that are in the middle right now of the energy crisis? well, in the short term, you are going to see some emergency responses in germany and other countries with suspending shut down of nuclear plants are temporarily bringing coal on line. but the roaring ukraine really underscores the need to accelerate the transition off of

fossil fuels. if you want to get out from under energy blackmail that we're seeing for vladimir putin right down, of course we saw the opec product plus countries, a cut production by $2000000.00 barrels to try to raise prices. so really, the only way to address the climate crisis and the energy security crisis is to get off of fossil fuels even more quickly. and i hope that's the path that europe, the u. s. and other countries will stay on old admired joining us tonight from cairo. mr. my, we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you. good, good to be with you. take care. went to the united states now where it's less than 2 weeks until those crucial mid term elections. the latest polls point to an upswing for the republicans who are seeking to regain control of both houses of congress. that would be a major setback for president joe biden. going into the 2nd half of his term biden's party. the democrats are hoping for a strong turnout, especially among their core constituencies. and that includes black voters.

wisconsin is one of the states where congressional races are expected to come down to the wire. he w's assuming some misconduct, went to the states biggest city, milwaukee. to find out more the day is getting started at lock. black leaders organizing communities like this out, which group is gearing up for another day of knocking on door blocks as its endorse democratic candidates as the best help for the group. the core mission improving the lives of milwaukee black community. no walk is the largest democratic stronghold in the battleground state, and black voters are crucial part of that. but black voter turnout in milwaukee has been dropping for years. something block, trying to turn around the bro shade. jackson is leading a canvassing team to day. he didn't care much for politics until he got this job

fighting for the black community. he says, despite the declining turn out, black voters helped flip the state for the democrats in 2020. and we're going to hear that you maybe feel sometimes we're just a little bit writer and it may change, and i've seen it where my lad and i was a part of but not everyone feels that change. inflation is creating frustration and the lack of change on public safety education and economic opportunity has led to voter apathy, inflation. people are so tired of it because like trying to trying help when they do understand that people need mental ways i was talking about i work best is terrible. how can i live off? how can i park live all day food, the garden, a salt, $8.00 for homo? talking about 12 eggs is just rough. black voters have delivered important victories for the democrats,

but many are asking whether they got a fair deal in return for kids or senate. that question is an opportunity. he's the african american outreach director for the wisconsin republicans in 2026. and this was the democratic party has just really gone too far away from what, at least i knew what the party was. and i think are public and party at least me in particular, is sticking to the message. once again, whom are the individuals that are putting these failed policies within these communities that you're living in, or who is the one that you're voting for? try something. a cancer says that message resonates with a growing number of black voters coming into the republicans. black community center in milwaukee like this man. i look at the neighborhood and get the cds. she's going down. you got trashy everywhere. i mean, this easiest, cheery is time for change. one more voter for the republicans.

democrats might feel reassured by voices here at geez clippers, an institution in this black neighbourhood where everyone seemed to stand by the party in the hope for meaningful action that will help a lot of these politicians be honest with he. they only stay for want bang reelection, you know, rather than hearing or what's going on a community and follow up with the people in the community at some point by bone where again we, we'll get some candidates that who talk the talk and walked out. so different, why don't you to vote that is the challenge for the democrats to deliver for their supporters or see them vote with their feet. here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. this. our protesters have taken to the streets across iran to mark the 40th day since the death of gina moto immediate and the end of the traditional morning period. there are reports of security forces opening fire on demonstrators in a media home tale and russia's military has stage nuclear exercises under the supervision of president. what may approach it,

the drill included multiple practice launches of ballistic missiles in what moscow says was a simulated retaliation for any nuclear attack on russia. you're watching the w news of next conflict zone with tim sebastian. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day. i hope to see you then with ah, ah, with
