with the bomb was placed on that then the design and when it's targeted, environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin to night. you as how speaker nancy pelosi, her husband attacked inside their home police a, an intruder broke into the couple of san francisco home earlier today, and used a hammer to beat haul galaxy laser. now investigating was this a politically motivated crime?

also coming up tonight, the world's richest man takes control of twitter. ellen musk now calling himself the chief twit, promising to cut censorship. that could mean a return for donald trump and growing anger over drone attacks against ukraine. keith says that iran is supply the so called kamikaze weapons, but iranian authorities deny any involve ah, i'm bring gov to our viewers watching on p b. i see the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin this friday with a violet of salt on the husband of us. how speaker nancy pelosi, leif say they saw a man beating 82 year old paul pelosi with a hammer at the couple's house early on friday in san francisco. he is now being

treated in the hospital. the suspect is in police custody. authorities say they're investigating whether this crime was politically motivated. nancy pelosi was not at home. at the time of the attack. i asked our washington corresponded makella cook near what else do we know about this assault? but still if it's gas on details, but the police has brief the press initially, also naming a suspect as 42 year old david papa. and he wasn't described as a conspiracy theorist, but a quick search online does show that he has a website where the conspiracy theories ranging from coven 19 to the us, being running by an elitist system of universities to anti semitic language on that. so that clearly points in the direction of this being politically motivated, although we don't have any confirmation about that yet. we also don't have confirmation on media reports that quote,

source is saying that the man entered the building in the middle of the night in front of actually police apparently saw him do that and that he assaulted. where is nancy with nancy pelosi, the democrats speaker of the house being, i'd say the hate figure of the political extreme right here in the united states. and that's also why she always has a security detail. but because she was not in town, that doesn't appear to have applied to the building that particular night. and we still, we can't confirm whether or not the intruder did shelton and ask where we're is nancy. this is coming ahead of these crucial mid term elections. less than 2 weeks away now, i mean how much of a concern is violent against us politicians right now in the kill it is a great concern and whether this particular case is linked to that or not. we have seen incidents in the past. also, just this week,

we saw the sentencing of 3 men who planned to kidnap h in whitner whitman governor here in the united states. we're seeing increase in threats. it that has doubled since 2017 against law makers up to 9000 more than 1000 over the past year here in the united states. so that is very disconcerting. also seeing polling that shows that generally, voters and depends on which pole you believe between 25 to 30 percent. i believe that violence is a legitimate and increasingly legitimate means to voice your own political views and enforce them. now, critics including republicans say that this is not least down to donald trump. if you say it's into a camera, but some say also say it's behind closed doors. of course, the 6 it generally 6 committee is still investigating that several individuals have

already been sentenced in connection to that. and but there is a huge concern here. and we also saw one republican senator just a few weeks ago to say that she wouldn't be surprised if there would be a killing of a senator. so talk to anyone on the hill. this is something that is very tangible. and here in washington, and it's also something that is backed up by polling done across the country. november 8th. we'll see the midterms and everybody here is waiting with baited breath. not just for those results, whether the house will turn more republican, whether congress as a whole, but also whether there will be violence either because we kill the governor in washington. mckayla, thank you. you must, has completed his $44000000000.00 takeover of twitter, the world's richest man wasting no time as the new boss to day he fired for executives, including twitter ceo mosque says he wants more free speech on the platform. that

may mean a donald trump comeback from alec user to its largest shareholder. a new era began for twitter as ellen musk took control in his 1st post. after taking over the test, lucio wrote. the bird is fried an apparent not to his wish to see fewer limit on what users can post mosque, who describes himself as a free speech pathologist has said he once every kind of legal speech aloud and twitter critics fear his reign could allow hate speech and disinformation to spread among the 1st to react to the buyout was the german government

then you know, denise, we will closely watch all the possible changes to the platform in the coming weeks and months. and we will draw our own conclusions that could lead to asking ourselves whether we want to remain present on twitter or not. any top european union officials are also watching closely. one responded to mosque street saying in europe, the bird will fly by our rows. rather can you west, whose account was recently suspended for posting anticipated remarks is already back on the platform. though musk said the decision to allow him back was made before he took charge. form a u. s. president donald trump, whose account was removed after the attack on the u. s. capital could also make a comeback under ellen musk. twitters users have been wondering what musts version of free speech on the network will look like. he gave them

a clue in another tweet made after the takeover saying a moderation council will be formed to decide unacceptable content and no accounts will be reinstated before it meets. or let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world security forces in iran have again opened fire on anti government protesters. at least 8 people have been killed in the last week. as authorities try to correct down on descent, at least 31 people die and others are missing. after flooding in the philippines, scientists are linking recent heavy rains to climate change. north korea has carried out the latest from the series of ballistic missile. tess, south korea's military detected the watch of 2 short range rockets. the u. s. has warned pyongyang that using nuclear weapons would mean the end of the regime.

russia says that it has completed its call up of 300000 military reservist russian defense minister, sergey shaw. you saying that with an 80000 reserve troops have already been deployed to ukraine. the rest, he says, are still in training. vladimir putin issued the mobilization order last month to beef up russian forces in ukraine. the call up led to protests and it prompted tens of thousands of young men to flee the country in order to avoid conscription. lorine ins living in ukraine are demanding that their government stops supplying russia with attack drones. ukraine says that it's shut down. hundreds of iranian drones launched by moscow to ron insist that it is not providing russia with the whip. the blood of ukrainians is on your hands. that's the cry from a rainy and protests is in cave as russia's drone attacks and ukraine continue.

caves, waste, and allies, including the european union and the united states claim iran is supplying the weapons assortment. huh. so, but boylen, this is especially painful for us, the iranian people living here, the country we were born in, and the regime now in power is sending drones to kill us. our friends and acquaintances in cave of this year old iran denies that it's producing the drones which have become a key weapon for russia in the past month. the date is of often use them to target crucial energy infrastructure. ukraine has been pushing back shortly from september 13th when the 5th shaheed, 136, kamikaze drone was shot down until today. we have shot down more than 300 shaheed drones. there fools burger landscape going from chicago for here. still seeing with the city, are you standing alongside one of the down weapons president volota me?

zalinski says 30 drawings was seen by russia in 2 days with defense courses shooting 23 of them down. maley, the ukrainian government has given iran a formal demand to stop supplying the drawings to russia. this is for a moral this. i spoke with market cancer and earlier he is a retired u. s. marine currently is now a senior advisor with the center for strategic and international studies in washington. i asked him, what we know about the drones that russia is using a new gray. well, the most plentiful, rural drawn seems to be this shaheed $136.00. it's really like a cruise missile. it is a kamikaze drawing. it's fired once. it's guided by g p. s as a pretty long range, but it's flies low and slow. so it's very vulnerable. that's why the cranes have been able to shoot so many down, but rushes using them because they're running out of cruise missiles. they fired

many during the war, their ability to produce more as a quite limited. so they've gone to these iranian drones. and how can we be sure that it is iran that is providing these drones? well, remember when a drone or a cruise missile explodes, it doesn't disappear. the wreckage is still at the sight of the explosion. and that are a lots of pictures online. showing wreckage from these drones and you can see that they match the kinds of drones that you, ron has feel that you're on has not hidden these drones. they, they've showcase them. they are very proud of their drawing program so you can see what they produce and then you can see the wreckage. it's clearly the same weapon. and this is true then obviously we've got iran violating the, the arms export embargo that the west is imposed upon it. but this, what does this tell us about russia? the fact that russia is turning to iran for weapons. russia is

a hard up for us, munitions. ukraine is getting them from the united states and nato. but russia doesn't have a very good source. they've gone to north korea now. they've gone to a ron crew some domestically, but very limited to give it mind that wars require a continuous stream of weapons, ammunition to keep armies in the field. ukraine has its supplies from usaa. nato rushes, scrambling to keep its army supplied in russia, says that it has completed its call up of up to 300000 military reserves. so what does that mean then overall for rushes strategy in ukraine right now, i mean are, are, these, is this the final call up reservists that russia can pull from? well 1st i, i doubt that they called up all 300000. that would double the size of their army. i

know shall go made that claim. maybe they've sent out notices, but it takes a lot of time to call that many reservists up. given the small size of the army originally beforehand develop, some of them are clearly getting to the front lines. the russian intention is to beef up its forces. they've taken a lot of casualties. many units were ground down. way on the strength bring in these additional personnel will bring these units up to strength at there's the strategy is not to go back on the offensive. they're not trying to regain the initiative, but what they will try to do is to hang on to what they have prevent any further ukrainian advances and extend the war into the winter. their hope is that the, the europeans will crack under cold weather inflation recession high energy prices, and that the european populations will demand a cease fire that would help fresh up in the long term. mark hansing with the

center for strategic and international studies. mr. hanson, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks for having me on the shelf. sobering words today from germany's president describing russia's invasion of ukraine as a turning point in history, and not a good one in a national address today, frank volter stein meyer said that the world is entering a period of confrontation. he is a warning germans that they will have to make sacrifices and he's calling for a change in the national outlook from the excellence in the president added. that acknowledging this new reality is the only way that people will be able to meet those challenges. moving forward, but it can kind of policy makers cannot what miracles, no one hadn't gone was, was it in and not even a german president can take away. all i worries in these profoundly uncertain times . feler does. on the contrary, i believe that many of these worries are legitimate. we are experiencing the

deepest crisis. our united germany has ever known it been about, sorry i've been doing, but i'm firmly convinced that if we become consciously aware of this moment is turning point in history from if we begin to understand that one era has come to an end and another has begun done then, and only then will we be able to see more clearly was yet what is now required of us. and i'm certain the noise so that we will not have to face this new in fear or without to fancy the president there warning germans of necessary sacrifices. i asked our political correspondence. i mean young, did the president, did he find the right word? well, i think was a good speech bred it. the main focus was, of course, on the war in ukraine and stein. mile was addressing the german nation warning

about russia. but i think it was also demonstrating that he himself has got the message that the year previous policy on russia from the germans side, a policy that he himself, of course, was a key architect of back when he was a foreign minister. that policy of sort of close dialogue and non confrontation, that policy is failed and it's needed to be changed. so that's, that was really what he was trying to get across. he made the link from the war t, the difficulties being faced by germans, particularly economic difficulties and arising prices, worries about the energy supply and even threats to democracy at. and he had a, an image role that he said the, the tail wind that germany had enjoyed falling. the end of the cold war was being replaced by head winds. he said tough times are ahead. and he called on germans to be more capable of conflict as he put it not more warlike,

but more assertive and. busy more a sort of self control as well. so it's a pretty stark assessment overall, i think of where germany is right now. and we know that when the jury president speaks, it does have a certain gravitas, but we also have to remind ourselves, his role is, is ceremonial. what he said to day considering. you know, the dire situation strictly of the german economy because of this work weren't his words actually words that we shouldn't. we should be hearing from the german chancellor. well, a cos jossla. shoulds has also made similar speeches talking about the changing epochs and warning germans to that they need to sort of prepare for a tough winter ahead and so on. but i think it is quite usual as well for the german federal president is the head of state to, to kind of make an attempt to at some how people feel, what we germans are worried about and try and give them some words of encouragement . he try not to be too gloomy. of course, he pointed out, germany has got

a strong economy. it has an effective functioning state, as he said. so i think it was appropriate for him to sort of take the mood of the nation. and i think that's probably what many ordinary germans expect to their president today did obese. i mean young with the latest to night here in berlin. so i mean, as always, thank you. and here are more headlines that we're following for you. police in cyprus were called to a camp housing hundreds of migrants to day violence broke out between 2 groups of residents at the overcrowded facility. right? police used to tear gas to restore order. they made no rest about 20 tents were burned in the by taiwan is invited. chinese vets to the island to help treat a sick panda. you see the patient right there. twine twine is thought to have a brain. tumor of the invitation is an unusual act of pender diplomacy,
