thousands of mourners turned out to protest despite the crackdown. i'd like to know your thoughts when you see those images and the images that we've seen in the last 6 weeks. and especially for those of us who are not on the ground, it is both very, very hopeful. and, and it's not only also the images because it's also what we are here in the slogans that we are hearing. we see a lot of unity, but we also see what's very different from other protests, for example, at the 2009 green movement. so no longer people want reform of the regime. they want total structural change. they just want the regime gone. what would also witnessing the whalen, suppression of the protesting it does make you fear as to the killings that arrest there is around $12500.00 people verified to be in iranian prisons at the

moment at but, but the message of unity and, and the sustainability of the protests are at very, very hopeful for those of us not there. well, if you just kind of touched on on what i wanted to ask you next, which is, do you think there's actually any stopping the momentum of the current demonstrations in just what we've seen in the last few weeks? i think david, keep going at yesterday as you reported yourself at housing and thousands of people came out in commemoration of the 14th day of the death of massa. i mean, and from what i'm hearing because there's been a killings that have become a high profile and other teenager, mika and other teenager had these. and their 40th anniversary are coming back to back at so people will be out to commemorate. but also you see the student movement being very strong. so yesterday, and, and in the last 6 weeks,

what we've seen is students coming out protesting going on strikes and, and also we see it slowly, slowly, at some businesses are coming and joining the strike. so i think if this straight take over and becomes more way to spread at then, this is felicity much more sustainable if you could very briefly considering that the past rounds of sanctions have resulted in the regime changing its course. why do you think the west continues to pursue this policy? in mil, it's and it's, you know, you have kind of to see the history of a generally sanctions that hurts the people. and it's, it's very difficult to agree with them. but at this point, we see what people on the ground, the do not want the regime. and also i've seen the sanctions that have come out

recently at the new us sanctions and the new you sanctions. there are individuals who have been who are it should be accountable for all the violence and the killing. so right. when you see do sions, i think that the could be very effective. right? russia fuss aly from trinity college in dublin. thank you. thank you. russian president vladimir putin has overseen routine exercises by russia strategic nuclear forces. moscow said the aim was to simulate retaliation for a possible new care attack on russia. the u. s. ed. russia had informed it a day earlier of its intention to carry out the drills. ah ballistic missiles blast off a dramatic show of rushes and 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 in retaliation for a nuclear attack on russia. the exercise comes, as bruton blamed the united states for its involvement in the conflict, the liberty movie. what i would say is that usa will really conflict that ukraine has become an instrument of american foreign policy. do i need to do? it is actually lost its sovereignty claim and is directly controlled by the united states, which is using it as a battering ram against russia. the liberty, more or less that uses a person again, made claims that ukraine is preparing to use a so called dirty bomb, dirty bombs or explosives containing radioactive material, but a not nuclear bombs, and are not nearly as powerful. his claims have been roundly rejected by ukraine and western leaders. president putin is failing on the battlefield. he is

responding with more indiscriminate attacks on ukrainian cities against civilians are against the critical infrastructure on would dangerous nuclear rhetoric. the russian drills came as nato holds its own annual nuclear exercises in north western europe. right. to high worrying? are these russian, you care drills state of the rush analyst roman continental? 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,

for the war has been going on in ukraine for over 8 months now. everybody is very under pressure, including the russian military. so you can not 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 a 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 that. let's go to cave now and did you corresponded funny for showers there for us? i found a great to see. so russian president vladimir putin is pushing this narrative of a ukrainian dirty bomb. but i want to know, how are the ukrainians responding all the domains reaction is either being very angry about these comments or being concerned about them. angry for the fact that

to many people here in ukraine just does not add up that russia that keeps bumping . literally the lives of people for the past 8 months is the one that now cleans the ukraine is going to use a dirty bomb. oh, so 3 decades ago, yes, ukraine did have a giant austin, of nuclear weapons that were still part of the soviet union before the dissolution of the soviet union, early 19 id. but that's no longer the case. and also of course, people are seeing that they are going to have a over the fact that putting made these statements before that if ukraine strikes russia territory, what territory control and an x by russia then to, to go to resort to these weapons. so these concerns are also here in ukraine, a just that people are hoping that the west is actually going to step in and to make sure that this intimidation stops. and that people can somehow live with every day consequences of the war. that, of course, don't cease to exist regardless of delegation made or not by russia. funny,

there's great anticipation around status on what's the latest you can tell us from there? well we're hearing from the ukranian government actually that advancing in has been region slowed down a little bit because you have to imagine this is the region is around in your per river. so this is wet plant. it is slow for a year to advance, but not the same time. they have advanced quite a bit. and now the question really is, when that imminent battle over house in cities going to start, there's a lot of indication already that russia forces are trying to defend and enforce the defense around towards the city. you have to see pablo products going to play out. thanks, finding, finding fish are in cave. more climate alarms from the united nations. a new report shows the 3 main greenhouse gases hit record highs in the atmosphere last year. the latest warnings come a week before delegates from around the world are due to meet for crucial climate
