w news. it speaks to women risking everything in iran by daring to dissent. this own thing isn't that just about which of these simply don't want this monica state . this regime, it doesn't work for us and for our country, it has never worked and no beer at the football world cops with just 48 hours until the soccer tournament kicks off. fans are dealing with a very sobering reality. ah. i'm burned. gov to our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome rushes air strikes, targeting ukraine's power grid have plunged thousands countless people into darkness to night. almost half of the national power grid is now off line millions

are without power, water or heat. with winter, knocking at the door captured russian tanks covered in the winter's, fur, snow. a reminder of when keith was much closer to the front lines. but while the fighting may be further away, the war is ever present as daily russian strikes have plunged hundreds of thousands into darkness or sea accordingly, russia continues to launch me sell strikes on ukraine, civilian critical infrastructure, waging war against the civilian population, and depriving them of light, water, heat, and communications. almost half of our energy system has been disabled labo, while authorities are scrambling to repair the battery power grid as best they can . residents are preparing for more blackouts. those

young, where do i so much a more counting on cas, we bought firewood in the spring when it was already clear, it would be tough in winter. you know, i'm going to live with my parents and use a stove for heating, but with the critical discourse 5 years ago, it makes life more difficult, but i bought flashlights and candles, so everything is fine and was of i have this winter. but with russian missiles striking across ukraine for millions that winter will be cold and dark. oh, i asked maria of the eva a ukrainian security analyst in odessa and how the power outages have affected people there, including her. actually the place where i'm staying now. this hotel is running on generator for the last 3 days because it's the 3rd day when the power outage is ex, dreamily high in odessa and according to the latest 70 percent of the population

of people and consumers in odessa. dont have electricity for 3 days in a row. so the only way you can get internet connection and electricity is if you have the generator and a point from electricity communication is a very wide till seen that is now miss. and for a lot of people, because the antenna, the power, they agreed the communication with it needs electricity as well. and the better is die very fast in for 5 hours. and after that, there is no possibility for people to make close. maria, let me ask you this, and if so many people there in odessa are without power. how are they? how are they coping? because i assume not everyone can have a power generator. if you do have a generator that means you have to have enough gasoline or diesel to run it. so what are people doing there to cope? absolutely. for a lot of people, this is a total disaster and there are

a districts there where it's everything is dark and the situation is a very hard, not only for odessa but, but the nearby regions. i've been also to mich alive and to check so on. and people are struggling and because for many electricity is also the means to heat their apartment because they can then you assess them, heaters and without the electricity, this is not working. and more or were the what to pumps need electricity turan so no electricity or many people means no no no heat and and know what her and the temperatures are getting really low now especially in the night hours when people asleep in what you are describing is a situation that many people will not be able to withstand for a very long time. you've got winter coming. you've got people without power without heating. i'm wondering, maria. do you think that we're at the beginning now of another people exodus will

ukrainians? once again, have to leave their homes just to survive and, and to find heat. they both are trying to prepare themselves for this winter because everyone in ukraine knew, and the government was warning. people that do this will be the most difficult winter for your grand ever and but it's difficult to prepare yourself for this kind of situation. so for now, people still hoping that the government will be able to cope with the situation and this will not become critical because the official, it's not preparing for the as well. and many hospitals who kindergarten have generators. so people who broke and who take care about the children, they can provide these. but for how long will this last depends on how will you be able to protect itself from the possible rocket attacks that might come from

russia? maria of diva joining us tonight from odessa marie, we appreciate you taking time to talk with us helping us better understand what people there are going through. thank you. thank you. it was my session where despite this week's massive russian airstrikes, russian troops are retreating from more ukrainian territories. he w as much, he has. berlin takes us to a town, just 4 kilometers from the russian border. the invading troops are gone, but they have left destruction behind them. it used to take less than 2 hours to drive from hard gifts to off chunks. now it takes 5. you have to take small, local roads and long th was all the major route and bridges are destroyed, which is full on which is from the border with russia. the town was taken on the

1st day of the war locus. tell us the russians set up a torch and when this factory they mostly took young men, the very valid says so just ordered him to go there after they caught him outside of the curfew yard, the 11 of them i thought they would torture me well shows him i came as i was told at 8 am, but they just made me dig trenches was carry stuff around the door and stack sandbags. had to be there at 8 am would work until 5 was. that's how they made me slave away. miss girl with a girl for the fellow manager houghton. everything looks broken and the russians do show from across the board. the people were still here with soon face a tough winter. the electricity is often out and there's no gas for heating. some

humanitarian a does come, but not often. it's so hard to get there. given these conditions, not everybody is happy. the russians are so usually when they were here, we could still live more or less. normally, there was work and we were getting humanitarian aid every 10 days. they would also hand out money. now we have nothing. he's me in the death there's not much for sale at the market and not many people, many left for russia with the retreating soldiers. it's an area long considered pro russian. now the ukrainians are in charge again. many are anxious and suspicious to paint us as collaborators says a woman, she won't be on camera. oh you did them. mistrust is everywhere. soldiers in charge of the town. worry that lockers are informing the rush

yet, but not least. we hear about those who are working with both sides. they used to tip off the russian hill. now they come to see us and say this, or that person was a collaborator that brought them put your template to just say he is only here to have his mother prepared for winter. welcome. who took his wife and young daughter out of town and will soon join them. but he is determined to return and hopes the tone can get back to normal ways we're on our soil that when we didn't attack anybody another, we don't want anything else. on this more shelling, this is what the days alike in both chance sweden says that explosions on the nord stream gas pipelines in the baltic sea that connect russia to germany.

those explosions were caused by sabotaged moscow and western nato. allies have been accusing each other of damaging the pipelines guess bubbling to the surface of the baltic sea. not far from the danish island of bourne home. massive volumes rising from the sea floor. sweden and denmark discovered the phenomenon in the territorial waters in september. it was clear that the guests was coming from leaks in the north stream, $1.00 and $2.00 pipelines, them in to transport gas from russia to germany and other european countries. 2 twin pipelines for breaches in total investigations showed that explosions destroyed large sections of pipeline, stockholm state prosecutions. office confirmed it was sabotaged. traces of

explosives found on the pipeline to being analyzed. all the affected countries see their suspicions confirmed, including russia. central trucks towed out a confirming, a subversive or terrorist act, once again confirms the information that the russian side had and has the russian government suspects. western secret services the west believes moscow sabotaged the pipelines due to the energy blockade by russia. no gas has flowed through nord stream, one since the beginning of september. no extreme to wasn't even operating before russia invited ukraine. it from the war to climate change and the climate crisis. the divisions between rich and poor. delegates at the top $27.00 climate submitted egypt to have been given one extra day to break a deadlock over several issues. topping the list. what is known as a loss in damage fund to help poor countries that have been hit by climate

disasters. the european union is backing a proposal to compensate countries that are suffering from storms, droughts, or floods provided that these countries make tougher emissions cuts. but divisions remain over exactly who would be eligible. delegates are also waiting to see if the world's 2 biggest polluters, the u. s in china if they will sign off the w's. tim schellenberg is at the summit in egypt, and he says that china is reluctant to contribute to the loss and damage font. it will be very difficult for china to agree what's on the table at the moment. and that's because china has been part of the g 77, a group of developing countries pushing for exactly this lawson damaged fund in the last couple of years. and also doing this past 2 weeks and, but was actually on the table right now with mean that china would, would switch from being a potential to put from

a potential receiver of money to the side of those who pay for it a donor. and not as that is not very well seen. among the chinese negotiators, the european union says it doesn't want to help developing countries. the terminology it supports now is helping the most vulnerable countries. why are we talking about this change in terminology and which countries qualify as most vulnerable? the criteria to which most vulnerable would referred that is still part of the negotiations and it will also still be beyond this a year's conference. but what is very clear, what you want to address here is that, as you just said, only the very vulnerable should a benefit from payments. and who are those countries? and those countries are island states which are actually threatened to be washed away by sea level rise or storms is. those are countries in africa suffering from

child or countries in south africa and so sorry, social south east asia and countries which do not have the means economic strength to recover from damages being caused by climate change. and this does not include china as very strong economy, which does it indeed has the means to pay for its losses and damages the throat has the means. maybe it lacks the will. what about this summit? as a whole, delegates have an extra day to find common ground. are they going to be able to do it? for a use sources we spoke to today, we're slightly optimistic to find a solution not only on the lawson damage fund by tomorrow afternoon evening, but also on other topics about it's not only about china coming back to the fund,

it's also about the u. s. the u. s. has been very reluctant on this on this issue and is still is and there will be challenges to convince these 2 parties. he abused him schellenberg, joining us tonight from the top 27 climate summit in chicago. shake egypt. tim, thank you very much. protestors in iran and say that they have set fire to the ancestral home of the islamic republics founder ayatollah. how many activists claimed that these images on social media show the blaze. dozens of demonstrators can be seen outside the building, and then there is a flash inside. see it right there. anti government protests of entered their 3rd month across the country. unrest began after the death of a young woman arrested for allegedly wearing her head scarf incorrectly. t w's i. abraham has been hearing from women angry about restrictions on their freedom. we

have altered their voices to protect their identities, burning away years of oppression. for almost 2 months. iranian women in the country and around the world have set their head scarves ablaze in protest. they told us doing so is the rejection of the mullahs rule over iran. we are fighting for the freedom of choice, not against a job. i don't have his job to stays on, i dare to walk or even seat in front of the ridge police while my aunt, who is also an active for tester where her job because she believes since the her job became mandatory in iran after the 1979 revolution. it's a key aspect of the islamic republics, identity. women who refused the compulsory job can be beaten, were arrested by the notorious morality police,

the same police the detained 22 year old gina massa. many for wearing her. he job improperly. she later died in custody. burning the headscarf became a way to voice rage over her death. but it is also about rejecting the compulsory hitch up iran leadership altogether and demanding equal rights. when we say that we are against a mandatory job, it's equal to saying that we are against slamming republic and mentality of this regime is inter when we are suppressing woman, we are our father's belongings when we are not married and after marriage, we are the belongings of our husband, how is this fair? how is this humane? it's an anti slum republicans, man, because the stomach republic wants to control the woman's body. and a very important part of their propaganda is about he just up this

whole thing, isn't that just about to job this simply don't want to slamming a state. this regime, it doesn't work for us. and for our country, it has never worked. the regime has shown no signs of letting up and has brutally suppressed protestors. yet the when we have spoken to say, change is already here. it's definitely the beginning of a new era. the solidarity that has built up seems to be fortifying with every day that passes women into shirts and without hats curves on the streets are becoming ubiquitous. i'm treated with respect even offer deceit. when i go without a scarf and a short coat to the banker, hospital by women and men alight here so hopeless because we could see no bright or even defined future when i saw the crowds of protesters everywhere. i found that

hope again, regardless of what happens next in the islamic republic, the iranian peoples bravery has sparked solidarity worldwide. a spirit that is unlikely to die any time soon. ah. the football woke up kicks off in could tar on sunday. 32 teams will compete over 4 weeks for the title. we will have match highlights in coverage of stories as well as controversies around the tournament every day. danielle barcelona from d w sports. she sent us this outlook from doha. after more than a decade, guitars world cut the 1st to be held in the era world. and the 1st to be played in the middle of the domestic football season is finally here. everywhere you look in doha is covered in world cup decorations. and in less than 48 hours,

the hosts could tar. we'll kick off the tournament against ecuador before that we can expect an exuberant opening ceremonies with the skies above me filled with fireworks. of course, this world cup is the most controversial to date with concerns about human rights treatment of migrant workers and discrimination against the algae b t q community taking the forefront. but come sunday tournament organizers will be hoping that all the talk will be about the football that that is not what all the talk isabel katara has banned the sale of beer at world cup stadiums just 2 days before the opening match. this caps, months of tends to go. she ations between fever and the whole country. the band could violate a multimillion dollar sponsorship deal with budweiser beer will be available in the i. p. areas in the stadiums. sobering, sobering facts tonight about the world cup. here with me to discuss that this last minute rude changes tom, good way from b w sports. so tom,

did they get this stuff actually clarified years ago? well, you might have assumed that they would have done. it's kind of difficult to believe the, you know, i was awarded the tournament 12 years ago and it's taken until 48 hours and to kick off to get a definitive answer on whether or not it will be available in the stadiums. now alcohol is available in guitar in normal times, but subject to strict controls, it's available, for example, in certain places in hotel bars, prohibitively high prices, those high prices did appear to have been part of the settlement that fee for had reached with kentoria authorities. now we will at least as were supporters that be it would be available in stadiums for something like 13 euros for half a liter, which is a fair whack, but a lot of money available for those who wanted it. now we've heard early on friday that there will be a total ban on the sale of alcohol at grounds themselves. as you can imagine, many of the support is already there and were taken somewhat surprised by the 11th

hour announcement on friday. i, jenna, it's essential that you always terrible with friends and family and moments of die . and right now i continue to follow. so i to be here at this work up and we really want to win here is normally indispensable for us. it's like a bottle of water. when you're in the middle of the desert, we definitely thought there would be a here. and i don't know what going to happen. anything else? nothing out with everything you want to live there. well, that's about, i mean, some people like this decision, some don't, of course, i mean, you know, there are some people for whom b is irrelevant anyway, there are some people for any number of reasons, including of course, but just reasons who don't drink and you know, this decision won't affect them if your v r, p,

or hospitality guest of the for at the stadiums that won't affect you either because alcohol will still be available in those areas of the grounds. but of course, there are many people for whom i got it, beverages are part of their football supporting experience. so yet, there are a lot of people for whom this decision is a big. they could be a lot of tiers in beers. the next couple of weeks. so where does this decision leave fee for will frankly looking raw the city, you know, we mentioned that they've had 12 years to get this sorted out. and the decision has only come out 2 days before the start of the 1st game. and it also draws attention to the many ways in which this tournament is an aberration from what we usually expect for a fee for woke up is happening in november and december, regular football, seasons, domestic seasons have been interrupted for the stadiums. it will have to be built brand new and many of them will be rick down straight after the tournament. and the sale of alcohol is another way in which this is no well cut like any. i'm not to mention the number of workers who maybe had to die for all of this to take place.

tom, thank you. one man who has tasted will cut glory is busty and shine steiger. it was part of germany's winning team in 2014, but this time around his beds are on friends. they have the most quality players who also have the experience of playing a tournament together. just like if it's a kill him papa. his contested layer, like and a few and the dish or knows exactly what he can ask the players to do on the field . so once there will be a moment when the defending tendon for hill in germany is national team. i think we are still have a big question mark like what to be able to do. we are able to to, to bid, i think all the other teams but we also we have some. busy situation our games were inconsistent on where it's like away from me, please 60 minutes. very good, but then the last 30 minutes, not good. so with the big question,

but i believe in her 100 flick, he's a coach. who knows exactly actually what we have to do. so it's about the players. we have good plans with a player like to mom was yellows. fantastic. he. he gives us a lot of different point to which myers we didn't have, maybe in the offensive, and maybe just having a proper striker, i think would be good to, to have as a backup. maybe our full books there. we do have a little problem but 100 knows that. so he tries to find solutions around it. and in the end of the day, it's not about which system we play or for me, it's about the players. who on the fields, do they understand what we have to do in certain moments and not especially in the moments when the game is against us. you know that, that we are able to, to, to come back. and it's very important that we actually are able to show our own

german abilities of the dna, what we actually get to as well respected from from the other countries. you're watching. the w news is a quick reminder of our top story. ukraine's prime minister says that nearly half of the national power grid has been disabled by in russia's latest wave of missile strikes, one in every 5 ukrainians now without electricity. after a short break, i'll be back to take you through the day tonight, the senior citizens in positions of power is gray. getting in the way we'll be right back with ah, with
