[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from bud and russian strikes, pound, you cranes, east, and don bass region. but in some parts, as relief off to the retreat d. w head to a village and the newly liberated hassan region. but people recount their

experience of life under russian control. also coming out police in the u. s. investigator suspected hate crime. after a gunman killed 5 people and a gay night club in colorado. and after christmas, the men control the see the men's football world comp kicks open, guitar, but there's no joy to the host team. they lose the opening match. ah, i'm a new campus mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. have if i sing continues in ukraine's easton don bass in his nightly address. president vladimir zalinski said that russia launched over $400.00 strikes across the region on sunday alone. investigators and keep say more than 8000 civilians have been killed since the war began. but they warn that actual casualties

a likely to be much higher. the report comes as a series of explosions, rocks the occupied nuclear power plant in jennifer region, renewing concerns over the safety of europe. largest nuclear facility or the southern region of her son was recently liberated by the ukrainians after 8 months of russian occupation. more than a week after russian troops retreated, the city of her son and its surrounding villages are now slowly returning to life. dw nick connelly visited the region, including the village of blauer dot net, the scene of some of the worst fighting in the region. 2, this is the road to hit so what's left her it. for months, russia and ukraine fought tooth and nail for every meter in the end, rushes forces collapsed, unable to cope with ukraine's relentless attacks on the supply loans. victory has come at a steep pros. this village was just behind the ukrainian ford positions,

intact houses, the exception here. rock, it's like these are just one of the dangers. many more i hidden. heading towards cuts on we cross what until a week ago was the front line. the ukrainian army wants to show us that they take care not to it. civilians, no homes, unlike their russian opponents. this village applaud dudley is certainly much better shape than the one we've just left. even though, until recently, it was home to a russian base. after so many months, cut off from the outside world, people here the glad to finally tell the stories about the russians would break into houses, empty them, take anything they came across, either north, they could stop you on your bike and just take it off. you can share the same with phones, a warner robot. as soon as it got dark, you just had to lay low. if we saw the, we turn around and make ourselves scarce from what you said. most of this village

is residents couldn't get used to the fighting in life under occupation. leaving wasn't an option for everyone. honda was them, but i don't know what about my animals? who would i have left? my chicken is my goal. it's my pig. let's with, what do i do about my clothes? lots of people here left after a husband and wife work held in a jewelry decent governor. he would be in new york law island. first a shall killed the husband at home. and for 2 days later, his widow was killed by another shell in the same house like you thought, if there are gonna be your father. we meet irina. she works at the village school, which russian soldiers took over their bass. she just been inside for the 1st time . who wants to show us don't receive your call. they obviously thought they'd be cash in here, not sure. but all they find where are social security papers? in the business, they took all the laptops, but all the technology, it's all gone. so you just nuclear gun. not the over supposed to list. rena,

grew up here and came back to work at the school more than 15 years ago. she takes to see a parting message left by the russian soldiers. the handwriting may be neat, but the language is anything but in drastic terms. it blames the ukrainians to the war and accuses and of killing women and children before concluding. we'll meet in hell next time. he won't get away from us. even after months on the ground in ukraine, at least some of the russian troops till apparently believe with their commanders and russian t. v. a telling them. let me know that the russians would repeat the same thing to us over and over. we came here to liberate you. who have you liberated me from. i'd ask them my life was fine until you came. now, i'm not living any more. i'm just surviving. trying to work i to die or live to see another day. everything was good until you russians came to the new below to get her school. and now the russians really are gone. people here are remarkably confident that the ukrainian army is back for good. but it's not just the russians that are gone. the children used to fill these classrooms are also gone,

scattered across ukraine and the whole of europe. for now, they and their parents are no hurry to come home. i'm joined now by my boss, and he's a full british army officer and a senior fellow at the war studies department at kings college london high that mike and some com. returning to poets of hassan as we just saw, but of course as the reports of ongoing russian artillery tax in the area and then the heavy fighting in the east and on bus region. yes, i think what's happened is now that the russians have pulled out of her. so on both sides, both russia and ukraine have realized that it's very difficult to make advances in the area of the russians, both at fortifications. obviously the trainings now hold on and so that front line is settling down to one where there probably won't be any big offensive, but both sides are all logging on to each other. the activity actually in the strategic sense is over in the east, in the dumbass,

where the russians for the last couple of months actually have been trying to make progress so far. unsuccessfully against the ukrainian front lines. so we know that the russians have pulled back and have fun, but they're not far away. why is her son so important? her son was taken in the 2nd day of the war, and it was the only big city that the russians controlled with the regional capital . it's also the only big area on, on the western side of the river, the pro, which runs right the way through ukraine from crimea all the way up to keith. and so now that the russians have left, that, that was a huge setback for them, because that area would have been a springboard for further attacks all the way along the black sea coast, starting to make alive and into odessa. now we know that there is still lots of concern about the shelling around the now russian control generation nuclear power

plant. do we know that the, the russians or the ukrainians doing the shelling and, and really do we need to be worried about this? in short, we don't, the international atomic agency has a team in the plants and they are currently conducting investigations. and it's not clear whether it's the ukrainians or the russians. i don't think we should be any more worried than we have been, but obviously a nuclear power plant in a war zone is problematic. but that area around that area is actually one of the areas of likely future offensive because neither side on the southern front line has reinforced greatly or dug in big fortifications. so that is probably where we'll see an offensive at some point in the next 6 months. ok, somewhere to watch, to leave it there. mike martin from kings college london. thanks so much. thank you

. to the top $27.00 climate talks in egypt now and there is a lation over a landmark compensation deal. that's been, however, tempered by disappointment, over progress on cussing, emissions, and fossil fuels. let's take a look at what the summit did and didn't achieve. now, there was no agreement on phasing out fossil fuels any time soon, but delegates did. however, reaffirm a commitment to the goal of keeping global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius that's above pre industrial levels. and there was a historic loss and damage deal that will compensate vulnerable nations suffering from climate change. it's a historic deal thrashed out by exhausted delegates after weeks of negotiations that the climate talks in egypt did a urine for michelle, we established the 1st ever dedicated form for loss or damage of form that has been

so long in the making the fund would pay poor nations on the front lines of climate change, dealing with destruction and death from extreme weather. developing countries have contributed the least to heat trapping emissions that are causing temperatures to increase world wide. nations like pakistan with floods have killed hundreds this year alone have been campaigning for this compensation for decades. the establishment of a fund is not about dispensing charity. it is clearly a down payment on the longer investment in our joint futures. it is a down payment and an investment and climate justice. but at some delegates celebrate. crucial details are still unclear. like exactly which richer

countries will pay into the fund and how much and there was little progress on tougher carts to carbon emissions. the gas is produced by burning fossil fuels that it driving climate change. europe is among the big emitters and germany has pledged to cut its emissions, but worn that other top polluters are doing the same. that of course, more than frustrating to see, overdo steps on mitigation and the phase out of fossil fuels prevented by some major misses and oil producing countries. as a result, the world loses precious time towards the path of limiting warming to $1.00 degrees from our from scott. a sentiment shared by many delegates leaving the conference and date of his environment at is a jet neuron gen joins me now here in the studio. morning. agit now we're hearing

that this deal is widely being called historic. is it really though it is a historic deal? this is the 1st time of decade that these climate conference in madrid, nations where poor countries have got rich countries to agree to set up a place where they can put money to pay for the damage is done by having burned fossil fuels disproportionately heat the planet made all the heat waves worse is coastal fly than tropical cycling, stronger. but we just heard and report the big question is how much will actually go into pay who get the money and all of these questions kind of just been kicked down the road. but i mean campaign isn't particularly b delegates from the poor nations who can been crying out for this. the happy to even have just got this on the table and agreed on cash now and developed nations left this conference not particularly happy about a lack of progress in cutting emissions. how big a setback is that the time window for acting is just time is. so the

last in the governmental panel on climate change report earlier this year said that the rapidly closing window of opportunity to kind of ensure a safe and sustainable future, a livable and sustainable future for all that time limit means every year that we carry on burning fossil fuels and not even having peop, the curb, a fossil fuel. so we've even stopped every year with buying more and more and more and more. and until we quickly reduce them, we're not going to get this agreement. it talks about phasing down unabated coal power. it did not mention oil gas to the other big fossil fuel though, but so i mean, it seems that there is progress being made at these talks. and yet, you know, we've had 27 of these climate summits every year. these un summits, are they really proving their worth is that would that be a better way of trying to get agreements on these issues? the could definitely be better ways. it's difficult to talk about. i mean, if you look at a graph of how much, sir, to emission the climbing and climbing,

climbing the concentrations in the atmosphere, the temperatures, and the thing with a 27 kind of feels like nothing's happening. the big question, what would happen if we didn't have these conferences? that's what very clear is that, well, lead of feel under pressure to show that they care about climate change. but doing something about it gives kind of the poorest countries in the room, a voice to actually speak about things. i mean, countries like to value or places where sea levels are just rising so high. the homes are getting washed away, the, the tiny country, the small population, small g, d p. like they're not places where people really across the rest of health care about as to when they are in these negotiating holes for once they do have voice and they can speak of the united voice in some cases. and as we've seen with us fun to pay for the compensation for the damages of climate change, something to do see concrete successes. all right, i get your engine. thank you so much for that. okay, let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. vote counting is

underway. an equitorial guinea, whether well the longest serving president is seeking re election. the 8th year old is expected to extend his 43 years in power in the oil rich country. critics have long accused his regime of intimidation, torture and corruption, and pointed towards questionable results from previous elections. and a protest against the peruvian president turned violent as hundreds of demonstrators march through the capitol police fire tear gas when they attempted to remove st barricades. president pedro castillo is 1st year and power has been a turbulent one, is already faced to impeachment attempts. now police in the us state of colorado are trying to determine the motor for a mass shooting as an l. g. b t q. night club that killed 5 people. the lone gunman also injured $25.00 patrons at club q in colorado, springs. the night clubs owners are cooling the attack,

a hate crime. the suspected gunman is in police custody now, after club go as overpowered him. tokens of remembrance and love for victims of the shooting. colorado springs is a conservative leaning city in the heart of the us. the attack on patrons at club q has devastated and already marginalized community. our community shadow. this is the only l g b t q, r plus space we have in the city of colorado springs where we don't go. how can we now do anything knowing like, something like this can happen at a vigil held for victims. the states governor jared palace addressed mourners via video, calling the shooting a senseless act of evil in 2018 palace was the 1st openly gay man to be elected

governor in the u. s. u business in. well, nobody. oh, it's a host and shit. enjoy a huge and you feel, oh, we're the gunman began firing just moments before midnight. as people in the club were planning to mark the start of the transgender day of remembrance. honoring those killed in trans phobic violence. the outcome here in colorado springs could have been much worse if not for the response from club goers. the city's police chief said at least 2 club patrons fought and subdued the suspected gunmen before officers arrived and arrested him. investigators a still determining

a motive, but club q has issued a statement calling the shooting a hate attack. the men supple welcome, passed, opened in cattle amid controversy and the defeat for the hosts against ecuador, the 1st time ever host nation has lost its opening game. now, although several high profile stars refuse to perform at the opening ceremony, it did boast a variety of local and international acts and was hosted by us act and morgan friedman, the headline performer was kate pop star jim cook. and in his speech guitars ruling amir spoke of celebrating diversity. now the opening match of the tournament left at kudos fans. euphoric guitar failed to threaten that south american rivals who cruised to

a comfortable to no victory. ah kotob began their 1st ever willed cup match on the back foot. just minutes after kickoff ecuador had scored, however, and a valencia's goal was surprisingly disallowed by the video assistant referee for offside. a short reprieve for the hosts as valencia got another chance to school soon after felled in the box and awarded the penalty with 15 minutes played. the captain coolly converted for his $36.00 international go and he wouldn't stop there . just after the half hour mark equity was each time leading scorer a double. the lead and his side were cruising. meanwhile, kits all failed to register a single shot on target in the much among the few chances. this was the most spectacular. as substitute mohammed man, sorry, lost his shot over the bar. i'm so could saw become the 1st ever world cup host to lose their opening match. and more i'm joined now by dw sports correspondent,

danya barcelona, who is in doha danya. it looks absolutely beautiful and warm where you are now. but to the point, tell us about the opening match how, how is the game, what was the atmosphere like? so could tar and few thought really push this opening match it because of the opening ceremony. they said it was absolutely unmissable and in true katara fashion, it was lavish, it was shiny, it was expensive, there were fireworks light shows performers. and bizarrely like we saw morgan freeman almost narrating the opening ceremony. now in terms of the game, the atmosphere, it almost felt a little bit like american sports meets european football. there were stadium announcers and countdowns. so i was a little strange from footballing standards. now, as we saw guitar did end up losing, there were a lot of fans in the stadium, but bizarrely had around 47 minutes,

i started noticing katara fans actually leaving the stadium. there were so disappointed that their team was losing ecuadorian. fans were extremely excited and even though they were less, you could hear the more so not a great start for guitar. unfortunately, monday, of course, of the 1st full day of action. tell us what we need to be looking out for on the 1st day. yes, so we have some big games coming up today. now we have england taking on iran, both of them kick starting their roll, cut campaigns. now england will be looking to turn around their form after some lackluster performances. they were also relegated from the nations league. we have the usa and whales to teens, which have had notable absences from the world cup some longer than others. wales, it's been over 64 years or 64 years that wells have not been in the world cup usa. it's only been around a but still,

if you ask americans that is far too long for them. now we also have senegal and the netherlands facing off running off con, champion, senegal, missing their command side. you money will be interesting to see how they take on a star studded netherland side. all right, so lots to look out for now. we have heard the england's hurricane and other european captains planning to wear an arm band supporting l g b t q. people. is this likely to be the 1st cultural flash point of this world cup? right, so for those people who don't know these one love arm bands are part of a netherlands lead campaign against discrimination of various characters. like you said, harry, can men on the verge of intake had said they would wear these are best. now if you thought have been dancing around the subject for a long time, because we have to remember homosexuality is illegal in katara. now at 1st they had said that they would find the captain's or the federations for wearing his arm bands, which everyone said, okay, that's fine. but then they came out and said that there could be

a possibility of booking the captain. so giving the captain's a yellow card if they were to wear them, which would then complicate things because the way players approach a game after they have a card is different. as of right now, we don't actually have a definitive answer from fif a yet, but we are expecting one before the game start in a couple of hours. all right, we'll be watching closely for now. daniel barcelona. endo hall. thank heat small sports, news and, and tennis. novak jokes, which has ended an eventful year on a high note after winning the atp finals, the serb defeated up and coming norwegian. talent caspar rud in sundays, final joke, vic seal the victory with an 8th is the 6th time that his one b a c p files, trophy and caps the year that saw him claim his 21st grand slam title at wimbledon . but also miss out on to others,

you to cove it restrictions and in the closing formula, one race of the season, max dashed up and has won the abu dhabi grand prix for stuff and had already wrapped up the 2022 championship earlier at the japan a grown pri charlie class came 2nd and the race to secure a 2nd place in the overall standings. all sebastian federal heads into retirement having finished just 10th in his 300th race. now november means short days and many hours of darkness here in the northern hemisphere. that's certainly true here in berlin. christmas lights can brighten up the night. but as we wrestle with climate and energy crises, should we really be turning on the lights to cheer ourselves out? now, a berlin's botanical garden, there is a popular light display, and we ask people there how they see the fine line between festivity and sustainability. blue, far away from the bustle of the city center, berlin's botanical garden has turned into

a sparkling fairy tale land. but should events like this christmas god, and go ahead in the midst of an energy crisis. i do know that it's on a complicated oh, being right now. but people are like, criticizing whether we should be doing all these like christmas things while we're leg charla save energy and us not like enough energy. but at the same time, i feel like putting every one in on the person because there's nothing pretty to do during christmas is like even worse. but it's like it's difficult. you just have to know how to balance it. actually when we were walking in, we were talking about how some markets are not gonna open up because of the energy crisis. and then we were saying, so actually why, why is this garden open since it involves a lot of an energy. so i'm hoping that this is done in a way that skill sustainable and still saving energy for, for the city, and for it for germany. sustainability is

a key topic for the organizes this year. we have over comply, we have replaced 90 percent of our entire installation with l e. d lighting in some locations even as much as 95 percent. that brings our total energy saving to 80 percent. the size is kazama. in total, we're talking about 0.56 kilowatt hours per visitor. it's as much as ironing for 19 minutes or running a coffee machine for 20 to 30 minutes. coffee machine of with sunset was prizes with num id sleep. suddenly, in this debate, we should also not forget that those who are in the christmas garden are not consuming electricity back home. that's which to has a kind movable, the botanical garden in berlin, had to make efforts to conserve energy even before the current crisis. also baton, check off as a botanical garden with greenhouse facilities. and we have been in the process of energy renovation for years to make sure that we consume as little energy as possible will help those. cuz there's a lot of technology there. and gum tall have 16000 square meters of tropical plants

under glass for clark that can't done without energy because berlin winters colton gray hauls him. but that's why it's a fundamental issue i would say to be sustainable to consume as little as possible and try to return more power to the system. berlin's christmas garden will be open until mid january to allow visitors to take an enchanting stroll. and perhaps forget about the walls, crises for a while. yes. and that's all we have time for coming up next eco africa looks at how solar power is helping to strengthen rural communities. in nigeria, i'm and you could mckinnon in berlin. i thought you

were through with you with climate change in lighting, the lives of ivory coast farmers,
