bass. regent report on russian soldiers have reduced one town to ruins. russia paved the way for tougher measures, banning what it says, the speak promotion of homosexuality, support to say it's part of moscow's battle against a western decadence. i'm calling at the start of a new era, lebanon, and israel feel a landmark deal on their shared, married time, florida and in decades of dispute over territory. but who benefit from the arrangements from the d? ah, i'm fil gail. welcome to the program. united states as imposed fresh sanctions against you raining officials believe to be involved in the brutal crackdown on protests against the government. a protest was sparked by the death in police custody of gena massa, meaning human rights,

say the cracked out on demonstrations. killed hundreds of people, including children, memorial demonstrations, rails across the country at the end of the traditional 40 day morning period. following mister means death. hundreds gathered at the ceremony where she's very chanting slogans, calling for women's rights. and for the downfall of the ratio. security forces retaliated by storming her hometown reportedly targeted protesters with tear gas and life ammunition to rod as retaliated against western sanctions by announcing its own blacklist of european union officials and media, including the ws farsi service or the elders. arbor is head of d. w as far as the service and she told me how staff had been affected by the new measures. oh, so far and we received her the message yesterday that we are with been put on the sanctioned list by the iranian foreign ministry. so far it is sad that there will be travel bands for,

for staff after the w persian. and it can also, it is also possible, or at least this is or what they say that assets are, properties will be confiscated in any one. right? and i understand that i've been threats against members of staff. you know, there has been threats, i will, i will not go onto details. but we, we've, like, are actually every iranian journalist working out in iran, of course, but also outside of iran is targeted by iran's intelligence. and they have been threads and even in a last years, but now increasing and during the protests. and of course, it is a way to silence us to silence journalists from reporting on what is really happening on the grounds and trying to yet to put up in the ration of the rain in

states, television of iranian state, propaganda. and we are not doing this and it shows what important role we as journalists, clayton here. so does it 5 and you are you still able to get to news into iran? of course we are, you have to say and media. i have to ask to explain a little bit in the old persian, our website and our social media platforms have been blocked in iran. for the last years. what is new is that instagram? what was free? before the protest had started, was blocked. it's blocked as well, so they're trying to avoid people avoid that iranians bring out the pictures and videos and outside, but still we receive all these pictures all these images and they receive our content on our program because the rains, i'm very used to a blocking by the government,

so they are very familiar with proxy servers and how to, how to yet for truth prevents censorship. so we can, and we can see now is that since the protest have started, there is a huge increase of the use of proxy service like site one, for instance. and there is a huge increase in our reach them. so we reached well and they are seeking for our information as well. i'd like to, to ask them just on that that point. how different are these process that we are seeing that we've been saying for the last 40 years, because of course are around the country that is used to, to protest. you see anything different in this latest set? you know, what is different is basically when it comes to the reporting, of course, what is different is that we have unity of people from all different layers of society. what is also different is that people, d, d, don't let them,

they don't let the even government to intimidate them anymore. so they are trying to put pressure on, for instance, to family members of young people, of young girls being, being killed by the government. but still they speak out. so maybe in the past there was more and more fear. but now they do speak to us. they speak to us like foreign media outlets and like d, w, persian, and this is of course, what is a big problem for, for the government. trying to silence people in the round, but also outside. and it's not working any more. and of course, even the sanction d, w, persian is a way of intimidation and silencing, but we will of course, continue doing what we're doing for the last couple of weeks. and he right years of course. but in this crucial times, it we can see once again how important it actually is like with that is alpha i,

but thank you sing out for others, our back of the w foster service. hello ms. lansky says these countries troops are holding out against repeated attacks by russian forces in the eastern dumbass region. ukrainian presidents have a heavy fighting, concentrated around the towns of div and back mort. does not, hillary has been pounding for weeks to see much of it, to ruins, but if you credit defenders amounting fierce resistance. well, keith is continuing it's counter offensive and partially occupied a southern handsome region. president lansky has said the fierce is fighting at the moment is not in the hands on counter offensive, which is received so much attention this week. but in ukraine's east to d. w correspondent, funny fish out, told me what's happening there on the, in the eastern dumbass region. is that a fillion image of is so much has been so much attention. hassan reaching her since city righteously, because it's strategically so important to ukraine and russia that you may overlook

really what's happening elsewhere, the country naval needed on bus region. now let's zoom union here on a to town to back. moved in the northern part of the dumbass region often yet and offer i knew garbage is close actually to the regional capital often yet also need not done yet. that's been under russian control or right approach for russian separatist control says 2014. and given this information, given the fact, this is 2014 both who hunts big parts of plants and don't yet have been under pro russia separate is control and influence also gives much more experience to now russian soldiers tried to take him more territory in both parts. into hands and doing yet, and this is exactly what's happening right now. you see really those fights escalate over streets over villages over every thing that could give russia forces and leverage and trying to trying to i govern more parts of both a both parts of the dumbass region, but specifically of don yeske regent. that's why you see specific,

a lot of fighting in under, on back move, because back move in the northern part of done yet is very close to some of the ads, which is the administrative center controlled by ukraine in the don't yeske region . so yes, at that, fighting for more territory from the russia perspective, but from the ukrainian perspective, tried to repel the flushing forces is going to continue. and also it's not just going to continue. the question is, how is it going to continue depending on how the next phase of this war with winter arriving, is going to give a change for both parts, depending on how much military equipment do they have and how many truth on the ground. how many soldiers they are to fight for the interests and a quick word about cave where you are now which to see more air strikes and threats of escalation from moscow. give us a quick idea of what daily life buries like. at 1st sight till

it really appears to be quite normal, right? you have shop soap and you can grab your coffee in the morning and read the morning newspaper off. but of course, if you talk to people here on the streets of key city, they will tell you that they're quite worried about winter arriving right now. pretty much been constantly tricity except for, for, for some partial blackouts now and then it feel okay to get by here in the city. but people have very much concerned with those attacks had been increasing across various parts of ukraine. attacks on imported energy infrastructure that, that's going to change dramatically change as it's going to become colder. and as more people, the need, watts, of course, heating, electricity, running water, and such. so people are quite concerned as well. thank you. that's funny for the fisher and keith russia is a step closer to toughening laws banning what it calls the promotion of homosexuality. in the 1st reading, the lower house of parliament, the duma unanimously adopted changes to an existing law from 2013,

prohibiting what it called propaganda about non traditional sexual relations. under the changes any attempt or act seen as attempting to promote homosexuality online in film or in public, couldn't clarify these protest as a fighting for equal rights in russia. but demonstrations for l g b t q writes here, often brutally halted by authorities. one of the instruments of repression over the past decade has been the so called gay propaganda law introduced in 2013 authorities say it's needed to prohibit the promotion of what they call non traditional sexual values to children. now russia is set to pass new legislation further restricting the l g p t q community by expanding the law to adults as well . you watching gym encourages congress that says we don't live in a democratic state. justin, i think that lawmakers in the doom are trying to convey the impression that they

carry favor with this oppressive machine. seen it. and the victims of this machine are the most vulnerable ones or corners all l g b, t q plus people with their calculus hope just for the new law that is already going to russia's lower house of parliament. the state duma will effectively forbid any positive references to l g p t q, topics in popular media and on the internet. activist fair, the new law is a further step towards state sponsor discrimination and repression. and that it will leave the l g p t q community, even more stigmatized in russian society who russian of art is closed down d. w as moscow office 30 now operating from v live in capital rieger. i asked a bureau chief unit rochette or how these changes will affect the countries algae bt community welfare. russia has long moved towards s state conservatism in which everything west and has to be fought and gays and lesbians are time sexual parcels,

often seen as of the embodiment of western sin. now we are taking about a tightening as existing media and information low, which means that soon it will be prohibited to positively refer to any so called and non traditional sexual relationships. which means to same sex relationships, transgender and transactional topics on social media, on television, or in the movies. or just to explain the russian law, make us call anything to do with algebra. you non traditional sexual relationships . and since any statement commanding on else to be q issues, that isn't as it is not negative, can be interpreted as positive and ultimately as propaganda or promotion. any public mention of algebra, q issues in russia would soon be pro forbidden and punishable so this seems very homophobic law. and why they're this now, while the countries fighting a war well look,

is the official statement reference directly to the void ukraine, which in russia is still being called a special mills alteration. and according to the russian duma, this so called military operation even gave you meaning to the law because it wouldn't only take place in the front lines, but also in the hats or minds and souls of the russian people. they say in fact, as do mercy, a deputies against are compared to as the so called are of those, but it you law with a fight against so called and, and the front lines are, this is nothing you russia has fought so called gay propaganda since 2013 until now have a it has only applied to minus but now is that the law comes in for us as a so called propaganda built also be forbidden, among ideals. but the question is why it's happening now. and one of the unofficial difference is that the russian government wants to distract from other very important issues. for example, from the problems in ukraine on the front lines should moscow, once again, needs to withdraw its troops there. for example, the debate about and l g

b q law would present a welcome distraction. and if it broad support for these sorts of laws, or are there likely to be protest, i will, this tightening of the law fits into the general trend feel and to the rational dipped at you community has become accustomed to state sponsored homophobia over the past 20 years and while there is no more with it directly punished, homosexual relationships as such, even though the change to law will make an already difficult situation for the boors are. but i don't expect any protest simply because the russians are intimidated and thought unrestricted in their freedom. of expression and it might sound harsh, but the rational society now has a different problem such as mobilization. many people are still very afraid of. thank you for that to your it univer shuttle and rigor. take a look now at some of the other store is making news around the world. china is

rolling our new lock downs in major cities in an attempt to hold widening. coven outbreaks, place like beijing and shanghai authorities are sitting up building, looking down districts. both it is recorded, the fewer than 20 you data cases and no new debt. time media tycoon and transgender activists is what the miss universe, a beauty pageant for $20000000.00, reality tv star, and that jack upon a jacket do tattoo is out spoken about being a transgender woman. the annual conference was co owned by donald trump between 10962002 it's been running for 71 years. of course in australia has discharged the jury in the tribe of a form of government advisor accused of sexually assaulting a colleague in parliament house. the judge said a jury had gained access to details that were not submitted in evidence, case part to major review of workplace culture in australia, on the safety of women and politics. lebanon and israel have sealed

a landmark deal on a shared maritime border. the 2 countries still formerly at war lead us from the, from both sides, the deal separately. it brings to a close the long running mediterranean sea border dispute and could pave the way for you. offshore gas production, beirut says it will won't have any impact on its foreign policy towards israel. a spring and d. w correspondence rebecca business in jerusalem. mohammed schrader in beirut, welcome both. let's start with you, rebecca. so what does this mean for israel? well, phil, this deal has been in the making for more than a decade. they've been numerous rounds of negotiations, all of which have failed until a couple of weeks ago when a deal was finally reached between the 2 sides. and we've now seen it signed in by michelle, our own, the lebanese president, and the caretaker prime minister here in israel. yana pete. now all sides. then in

fact it was a u. s. broke a deal. all parties involved a calling. they steal historic and let's not forget that these 2 countries, as you rightly mentioned, are still technically at war. they have no diplomatic relations, in fact, lebanon doesn't even recognize israel as a sovereign state. so the fact that 2 countries in this situation could sign a deal like this maritime bought a deal is being heralded as a historic step for the benefits will be of course for both sides and very far reaching for israel. for example, of course, is political and diplomatic benefits and missiles of the economic benefits and security guarantees. now, israel has long wanted to explore these gas wells, that it is considered for a long time on it side of the maritime board, and now formerly agreed inside its maritime border. it knows that those gas fields have a lot of gas in the minutes long wanted to extract them, but it's been under threat by the iran back,

his blood on the lebanon side. that if it went to explore those fields or, or in fact, extract gas out of them without such a deal as we're seeing today, that it would come under threat and would be attacks. now of course, israel is free to go and explore those fields and extract the gas, and in fact, it's already doing so yesterday, energy and the company that is drilling on the israeli side. and they announced that the gas was already flowing from one of those wells, and that it would soon even be able to start delivering to its partners in the next couple of days. in fact, now that is going to be met with smiled by a you ladies who are desperately trying to bridge the gap left by turning off the tap from russia and the invasion of ukraine. so, you know, the benefits from the steel are going to be very far reaching for is round for one . no, it really says that this is a tacit agreement by a sworn enemy, in fact, paid steadwood to that effect as he was signing the document. as you rightly pointed out, but not exactly how it said 11 on, but nonetheless, this is a very significant deal. fail. okay, thank you for that. so rebecca mohammed,

traitor in bay roots. so how does levin and see the steel? well, it's a sudden, it's a different perspective, definitely this morning and he's president michelle allen said that the agreement is purely technical and does not have any political implications or effects that contradicts lebanon, foreign policy and relations with other states. still, states are still technically at war. however, the agreement is expected to bring some stability to the area and open the way for offshore energy exploration, as it removes a main source of potential conflict between israel and the non. mainly, the iranian backed, heavily grew heavily armed. beneath has below been these officials are hoping the disagreement helps elevate in abundance economic crisis. the country's economy has been in free for, for 3 years. now. the exploration of hydrocarbon is

a huge deal for live and on as a significant discovery, you could help ease the country is to fling financial crisis. so the agreement is entering into force in the coming few minutes where delegation from the arrival states arriving to the u. n intern for headquarters and the board, the town of the not caught up to sign the agreement terms and conditions on separate paper separate documents and the presidents of the united states that meet the much talk soon. all right, thank you for that. mohammed's shooter in beirut, and rebecca misses in jerusalem and you have a chance with all of shelters, only talks in athens, among the topics on the agenda of the energy crisis, and the turkish challenges to greece. the sovereignty over a number of islands in the eastern mediterranean, also featuring prominently efforts to help you trade in its war with russia. to this end, berlin has been sending tanks to greece. the w simon young report. germany came up

with the idea of supplying tanks to ukraine via 3rd countries. shortly after the start of the war, berlin wanted to help ukraine and said it did not have the capacity to send tanks directly. some politicians felt it was unacceptable for german heavy armor to be used in a region where nazi treat sport in the 2nd world war. another argument ukrainian armed forces needed to be supplied as quickly as possible with systems for which they would not need training. so the plan was born, countries with soviet era military equipment would send that to ukraine and would receive modern material from germany to replace it. agreements like base have been announced with both lavinia and the czech republic as well as greece. holland has also sent many of its soviet era tanks to ukraine,

but is disappointed with what berlin has offered as a replacement. germany has delivered some heavy equipment directly to ukraine, including self propelled how it says. but the drawn out discussion and the delay in agreeing these tank exchanges by a 3rd countries has led to cause. but berlin to bite the bullet and send its modern tanks directly. something that the key of government has repeatedly asked for. the european central bank has announced its biggest rate increase for more than a decade, raising interest rates by $75.00 basis points to try and tame record inflation. the move marks a tough balancing act for the c b as it tries to keep prices under control. while staving off a looming recession in the euro zone, it's a 3rd rate increase in russia's invasion of ukraine, which is nancy, which has seen low borrowing rates shoot up as a conflict, a sent shock waves global markets, and shaken economies across the world. we go through this with stephen beardsley

from data blue business. welcome, steven. so is this the mets in the markets need against this record? inflation will say, this isn't going to solve inflation alone, but many believe that it's a step in the right direction because inflation is so intense right now. close to 10 percent for the u. record levels. ultimately though, europe is not going to get a handle on rising prices until it solves the energy crisis, which is which it's in. and that's largely because of the war in ukraine. at the same time. the c b does have a mandate to fight inflation and to respond to inflation. it goes at 2 percent, inflation, 10 percent is nowhere near that. so it tries to do that by tamping back on demand. remember, in inflation is because of a imbalance between supply and demand. and so it does that by raising borrowing rates that makes it more expensive for people to borrow money for people and businesses. and that takes back the amount of economic activity in the economy, reducing demand,

and other words. another thing that it does is it also brings about more parity between the euro and other currencies. as you've noticed recently, i'm sure the dollar has gotten much more, much stronger against other currencies, including the euro. just today on the expectation of this interest rate hike, the euro once again, getting back above parity with a dollar. so that's another reason to, to see that this interest rate hike is going to be welcomed by many a move like this does bring its own risks doesn't. yeah. and the risk that it brings is that the, the was different from the u. s. for example, it's a collection of, i should say, the euro zone is a collection of 19 countries that use a similar currency, but they all have different underlying financial conditions. we know that countries like italy, france, spain have a much higher level of debt to g. d, p than a country like germany. and so they all borrow at different rates. when you make borrowing more expensive, it hit some economies more than ever. and that comes right now as the outlook is looking gloomier and gloomy for economies across the euro zone. so we've heard from several leaders, they're not a fan of this plans. now. definite interest rate hike,

a manual. the kron saying that he was concerned about it a ga maloney, the prime minister of italy saying that she didn't think it was the right time. because it's going to make, borrowing much more difficult, it's going to put their countries, their sovereign debt, borrowing rates at a much more difficult level. that's the risk is that you're encouraging a downturn even more a by doing that. and that's what the see be has to, has a thread that needle between fighting inflation, but not pushing these economies toward a harder downturn. thank you. hi, steven. steven beardsley from dw business in sports and his cricket board has announced on equal pay policy from male and female cricketers, after electing a new president last week, the b. c. c, i decided women's teams will be paid the same match fees as many across all $3.00 varieties of the sport. india is the 2nd cricketing nations with such a policy. after you zealand historic announcement on this, you start to remind about top story at best our united states has
