but there were dispersed using deer guess. oh, the protests triggered by to take a mini and not dying down, eat on, gleams western bogus for fueling the protests. ballet has my heart. we have announced a new list of italian foreign ministry sanctions against 8 you entities. and 12 individuals have been in hash maha, those 8 entities, and 12 people died during what happened recently in her, on athletic supported and encouraged terrorism, all thought extremism and violence. had marya attached to the events, her all hundreds of protested, have been killed by the government boutique tracked down. but the thing united in their mission to push for to redeem change, their movement has become one of the biggest challenges for the country for clerical leadership. german foreign minister and alina babel has condemned to run

for sanctioning european media, including d w's farsi service. burbock vowed to impose even tighter restrictions on the islamic republic, over tay rounds brutal crack down on women's rights protesters around foreign ministry. and that's the black list of media outlets in retaliation for an earlier round of you. sanction. right what we're joined now by max looks. he's a member of the german parliament from the greens party and he sits on the committee on foreign affairs and committee on human rights and humanitarian aid. welcome to d w. i'd like to start by getting your reaction to tay rounds latest round of sanctions. and even makers, german institutions including members of d, w's farsi service. yeah, i think the jim fields this week to limit and now they try to make something, but i think that was like the system works in such a ways. it's secured. see,

a pop shoes that loves sums of money buys would gene, but the g was almost bankrupt. the sanctions cannot type, take people's as treats attempting, but no money should be sent to god. that's will be bone calling fun and suits on this bill. several financing, but the ones you can no longer just trick from this absolute sanction. well, foreign minister on elena back, a member of your party, the green says there can be no more business as usual with iran. what does that actually mean though? in concrete terms. if it can be any useful business with. so jim, if you want it, i think it's very important to stand on the side of the brain, civil society and awesome, great from with you on that. give me like some assets located in germany. belonging to sanctions. you a new of to so that means that tricks,

pen measures and resources to support to protest movement in you and helps you when people could use s's and share information freely and securely on the internet and other media such as through access to b, p. and infrastructure will tell us, let's talk about other ways that the german government could support iranians. asylum, for example, iranians rank among the top asylum seeking nationalities here in germany. yet the latest data shows that less than one 3rd, or actually grant or protection, or have been granted protection so far this year is perhaps time to change that a bit. i think it's very important to protect is tyler seek is here in germany and to give them the support they need. and it's also very important for my point of view and my home state of knows when this failure did that, for example, to suspend deputations from germany to be wanting to work,

to ensure that the wing will flight to germany. we see protects him here because we have to stand on the side of the civil society in the 1st step on the side of this great society to stand on the side of a still society who's already part of our country. tell us, why do you think iranians, believe it or why should iranians believe that the new sanctions that we're seeing will bring about any real change when we seen that the past sanctions haven't resulted in a change in direction for the regime? i think it's not the political west and not germany, and you can, you can bring the real change to where you are. it's just use a political rest of the european union. we have to support that people in you are a forcing real change because what we see there is not just call for little steps. it's the call for revolution. it's

a call for change of the with and this is why we have them to support in every way we can. and this is why it's good that germany took the lead on sanctioned in the u union and our problem ministry. griggs, this cases of romans to the you and human rights council for example. and this very important to john, forget the people who died and who am rather than killed by this regime. and you are match locks member of the german partner. thanks for joining us on today. 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 nuclear attack on russia. the u. s. ed moscow had informed it a day earlier of its intention to carry out the drills they come. as nato also conducts rehearsals for nuclear war in northern europe.

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, liberty more or less that usa and what was only conflict that ukraine has become an instrument of american foreign policy. do i need to do? it is actually lost it sovereignty claims and is directly controlled by the united states, which is using it as a battering ram against russia. the liberty more, you know, that usa person again, made claims that ukraine is preparing to use the so called dirty bomb,

dirty bombs or explosives containing radioactive material, but a not nuclear bombs, and a not nearly as powerful his claims have in 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 armed with dangers nuclear rhetoric. the russian drills came as nato holds its own annual nuclear exercises in north western europe. all right, well joining us now is just in crump. he's a military veteran and terrorism expert and the ceo of the strategic advisory firm, civil line, welcome to d w. so russia has carried out annual exercises of its new care forces before the war in ukraine. this wouldn't have raised an eyebrow, but of course the situation has changed,

as we know. how worried those the west me to be. i mean, to be fair, those exercises did raise a bit of an eyebrow against the background of russia, claiming it had no intention of moving on. you crime is clearly part of that ramping up of forces they was doing so it was a surprise. they did them then to send a message if you are following the narrative of conflict. but, but obviously it's very classic them to conduct the final part of an exercise with nuclear drill. and they do it at this time of year. you know, to surprise what we saw, but oversee the timing is the thing here. an hour late to rushes, more nuclear rhetoric and the desire to use nuclear things are threatening fashion to find breaks will be great. just an ukranian forces are advancing into russian occupied hassan and threatening m a major defeat for moscow. how will that affect putin's position at home and his decisions in this conflict? i would say straight away, hudson is going to be quite

a fight. the russians have some big problems with the way that they're laid out, but it is a very challenging target ukraine as well. they will do it in a small fashion, the gradual fashion. you can imagine fighting block by block you that large city will be used on taking the ukraine. so we get to see how that entire piece the conflict will play out. i think it's, i'd say so i would say at this point we can say never to be that we're full or never really wakeful. if it does, i think the russian military leadership is happy to pull back from the river. i have a seat insufficient, made me happy to sacrifice and bleed out you getting bulls and packing just by time . that's what they meant to leadership might want the patient of course. so it is a symbolic defeat. no, dress it up as a, as a withdraw that was intended, but nonetheless, a blow. and he's under increasing pressure, not from the liberals from russia, but from the line. and i think he needs to be doing more, get your grades, that challenger. let's talk a little bit about strategy because it seems like there are significant differences

between the russian forces fighting in the dunbar region at 4 bad mood and the troops at center defense, harrison. i want to know how well coordinated are the russian forces in ukraine. they are very well coordinated, certainly by comparison with the russians. starling has been a factor in that for them. they maintain communications, they've been on job, and they've been able to fight at a higher collective level than the russians after the russians have huge problems with structures with back mom can control with that communications and ukraine has risen above that and well that far from perfect any war is won by the least disorganized, so i think you will have a feeling of if everything works very smoothly. first, i mean more, it doesn't. it's all about dealing with complexity entails and having the minimum amount of disruption from the new car. and it's just better place to deal with us when the russians are, and that means they can do more with less. that's good because they're having to do a lot more with less. and as russia brings a more forces,

ukraine is looking for the mobilization as well. but it's not necessarily getting ease if you grade, particularly with the weather, with the mud, with the winter coming. and of course russia just trying to hold on now and drag out the complet. justin crump. thank you. thank you. well, as the war grinds on, in ukraine, nato allies have been stepping up the military deployments in eastern europe. romania shares a long border with ukraine on it now hosts one of nato's new battle groups. the country has pledged to increase its defense spending by almost 10000000000 euros over the next 4 years. d, w was invited to fill military trails by the romanian navy. navy, indeed done you. delta romanian, infantry marines performing a would be counter attack in an exercise. drill on the river, bank of the den delta. this is europe's

2nd longest river. it flows into the black sea where romania may be gods, an area of 30000 square kilometers. since russia invaded ukraine on the 24th of february, romania naval force has increased its presence in the area of the log on its own. we on the edge of the e, u and nieto. here we have a common border with ukraine, killer branch of the danube. we are less than 300 kilometers away from crimea, and less than 40 kilometers from slick island. it is a volatile security environment close to our borders. but the menial naval forces have the capability to god will chain of security of each and every remaining citizen was out of every citizen belonging to the alliances on 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, let's take

a look at some of the other stories making use around the world. the so called islamic state group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a major shiite holy side in the iranian city of she rides. at least 15 people were killed, including women and children. dozens more were wounded after a gun, an open fire on worshipers. officials say the suspect is in custody. bolivia government has suspended food exports amid nationwide protests that paralyzed the country to agricultural region. the demonstrations began last week after the government postponed a census violent clashes between protesters and police have now spread to the capital le path. with us mid term elections less than 2 weeks away, a republican senate candidate is facing new abortion allegations. a 2nd woman has come forward in georgia alleging herschel walker paid for her to have an abortion walker. a hard line, anti abortion advocate denies the allegations or saying with the u. s. the latest

pulse for the u. s. b. terms 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 in to, to, in going into the 2nd half of his term biden's party. the democrats are hoping for a strong turn out, especially among their core constituencies, including black voters, while wisconsin is one of the states where congressional races are expected to come down to the wire and dw sumi, so misconduct reports from the states biggest city. the walk, the day is getting started at lock, black leaders organizing communities. this out which group is gearing up for another day of knocking on doors. blocks as its endorse democratic candidates as the best help for the groups. core mission improving the lives of milwaukee black community. no walk is the largest democratic stronghold in this battle. ground

state and black voters are crucial part of that. but black voter turnout in milwaukee has been dropping for years. something block is trying to turn around the brochure. 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. we're going here. that is maybe feel sometimes way, just a little bit right there. and it may change, and i've seen it when my last 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 cuz like trying to help me,

i do understand that people need mental ways. i was talking about i work, that's just terrible. how can i live off? i can part live of a food. the current is $8.00 for talking about 12 eggs is just rough. i missed the black voters, have delivered important victories for the democrats, but many are asking whether they got a fair deal in return for kenzie 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 a public part, at least me in particular, is sticking to the message. once again, whom are the individuals that are putting these failed policies with these communities that you're living in, or who is the ones that you're voting for? try something that you can do. that message resonates with

a growing number of black voters coming in to the republicans black community center in milwaukee like this. now i look at the neighborhood. i look at the cd, she's going down here. got trash, year everywhere. i mean, this is just a cheery, it's 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 seems to stand by the party in the hope for meaningful action that will help a lot of these politicians be honest with you. they only stand for one thing. reelection rather than here in or what's going on a community and follow up with the people in the community at some point by both, we will get some candidates there who talk to talk and walk out. so different lag continue to vote. that is the challenge for the democrats to deliver for their supporters or see them vote with their feet. to indian out were

a figures show its backsliding in its fight against malnutrition. the newly released world hunger index. now places india behind its neighbors, including bangladesh. true anchor and myanmar it's estimated about more than $3000000.00 children in india are malnourished. about half of them. severity did abuse, madeira chattering reports every day, fixed it all bush and comes to this education center for underprivileged children. her parents work at rack because a big reason they send her here is the fee, nutritious news, she gets the same is the case with many other children ages, asia, the angel which runs the center hospital years, been trying to ensure not only good education, but adequate nutrition for children coming from undeserved communities. edna edwin, the project coordinator here says that in every slum community they conduct a sylvie,

the find roughly 80 percent of children to be man noticed. many kids and many families struggle in this area because of their financial status tool. they're not able to provide good nutrition today, kids and that can lead to under development. and that can affect the developmental a recent global hunger index to quote, has thrown more light on this situation. the annual report which combines for competence under nourishment, chide dumping, di listing, and j mortality has drank india $107.00 out of $121.00 countries. and it has labored the level of hunger in the country as tedious. but the government has not taken ready to distribute. the indian government has rejected the global hunger index report, calling it iranian biased and disconnected from ground reality. it also says the index deliberately ignores the efforts made by the government to ensure food security for the population. deep us in her,

a professor of economics says this claim does not hold any ground and that the index uses official government data. she says the report should motivate the government to review the measures they have taken so far. there are a number of policies in india addressing the issue of hunger, my nutrition, but did our severe limitations to these programs fun? is that not everybody's covered that on me to exclusions. and secondly, also that in terms of the nutrition content of what the government is distributing, there are limitations. it says it's time to pause and reflect on what more needs to be done. i think the teacher that the center agree at their end, they try to maintain height and weight records of all the children. and accordingly, big changes to the menu to cover daniel additional needs. coming from severely deprived backgrounds. these children have found hope and nourishment till giving them a chance to build

a better future. 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 change talks in egypt. climate activists spray painting the windows of a luxury car brand. it's gorilla campaigns like this one in london. it caused much criticism lately. but the activists say, it's their only chance to break through with the message that the world isn't doing enough. and the response is the climate crisis. right now, a new un report delivers the same message, the world's current climate pledges are far off track to limit temperature as the 3 main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide hit record high levels in the atmosphere last year. what

is which equally writing this you're at, we're look at the growth price off carbon dioxide. and it's pretty comparable to the average cool rate can years. but if a look, i could go the same. that's the highest ever we have in the history of the planet is already battered by whether extremes, by experts say the worst is yet to come. at the moment, earth is on track to warm around 2.5 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels by the centuries and around 1.5 degrees is the goal set in the paris climate agreement as pathetically. yes, climate protection efforts are being made but way too slowly. the world governments are still not seeing climate change as a crisis, but it is a crisis and it's residents acceptance across and as is an increase of is an

existence here that ought another un climate conference will start in egypt next week. and scientists and activists alike urge leaders to do more, much more to tackle the climate crisis. all right, you are up to date, a focus on europe is of next with a story from poland, where abortion pills have landed. one woman in court will be back again at the top off the next hour. i pabo lillius in berlin for me and the team here. thanks roger . take care. ah ah.
