hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. fresh russian air strikes are being reported in the ukrainian capital. keith mir vitale. kitch co said infrastructure had been hit. witnesses are reporting multiple explosions after air raid sirens were sounded there and across the country. will bring you more details as we get them. those reports come after ukraine official said an air strike on a maternity ward killed a newborn baby in the southern south parisha region overnight. here's more on that . pulled from the rubble of what was a maternity ward. this doctor was fortunate to make it out alive, but the russian strike that flattened his work place didn't take the life of a baby. he was that to deliver. its mother was rescued. just the latest casualties of yet another attack on a healthcare facility. moscow has long deny targeting hospitals and clinics, but the world health organization has recorded moulton 700 attacks since the start
2:03 pm
of the war. almost 10 months ago. russia's repeated attacks on energy infrastructure. i'm making it hard at the doctors to provide care at those hospitals that are still standing here in has san that falls to work by flashlight as they try to save a teenager whose hand was blown off in a russian strike without power for the elevator. he has to be carried up 6 flights of stairs on a stretcher, to reach an operating room lit with only emergency lights. globally, it's hard without an elevator hod without light to get the child to the 6th floor. no water, no heating. working in the dim light doctors amputate the teenage is left on his mother waits nearby,
2:04 pm
inconsolable the shooting civilians at children. we didn't call them hair and didn't kill any of their children. so why they killing ours. but with russian attacks continuing and winter beginning to bite hassan residents, the facing shortages of water, food, and other essentials, many a, making a difficult choice. and joining the government's voluntary evacuation effort. boarding bus is to seek safety further from the front lines. the european parliament has better to designate russia, a state sponsor of terrorism, pointing to moscow's repeated strikes on civilian targets in ukraine. the move appears to be largely symbolic. however, as the you does not currently have a legal structure for the designation of state sponsors of terrorism, usa does
2:05 pm
a body, it's a has assist. the system does have such a system, but it's declined to include it, brush on it, due to concerns that such mood could lead to unintended legal consequences. so what does this declaration by the european parliament actually mean? i asked our correspondent barbara vsl. in strossberg. it is a political signal that's all his really because you're rightly and said that there is no legal shape form or a basis for this in european law. so they more or less made it up. the initiators, the, or the who you find among the right wing conservatives, the nationalist party, sir, in the european parliament. they made it up as they went along and they thought, and couldn't we, as sort of a, do this said to russia, apply this to russia just as the united states do. birds for, to north korea and, and for instance, cuba. so we're the european union. so for only has organizations,
2:06 pm
lists is listed like hamis and others as a sponsor of terrorism. and this is the 1st time it happens. but it has no legal consequences. because if for, for that the states of the, the membership member states of european union would have to adopt this resolution . and they won't, i mean that much is totally clear. can you imagine germany of france adopting this and saying okay, and we also ready to, to cut off the diplomatic relations to russia. know, they still hope for negotiations and some sort of for diplomatic end to the war. so they're not going to do this. bought aid majority, not very big one, but a majority of the european parliament has decided today to send this signal to moscow. we think you are a terrorist state. okay, so it's largely symbolic as a signal, as you say, a political signal, but still the move is extraordinary. barbara, how did the vote come about? the roof is extraordinary. if you look into the resolution and written pages in
2:07 pm
chapters and chapters often and you read through it, it of course it gives you a feeling if you respond emotionally to say yes indeed because there were parliamentarians are doing here is the sort of listing up the endless alleged atrocities from torture and sexual is then fortunate rape and other things it, it bumbling hospitals, bonding schools, bombing in civilian buildings. execution said killings of civilians in the thousands. i mean, it is all very clearly and very in great detail and put on a list. and then at the end, they say, yes, we draw the conclusion that this is against international law. this is against the law of war. the treaties that have been assigned and is so russia is it tera estate basically that it, they simply draw that conclusion. and the problem here is the legal side. as we mentioned,
2:08 pm
the political side is fairly clear. but the european parliament was hugely split on this because their social democrats here, for instance, there are some who voted for it, but there are many who voted against and saying it makes no sense. it's just not a step forward. it's simply sort of digging in and saying, are we hate you russia politically, but it doesn't really lead us to a solution. and then of course, others are supporting it and does so. the punishment was throughout all the political groups. he really split down the middle on this. barbara, thanks so much our corresponded barbara visual there in strossberg. take a look at smother stories making headlines around the world today. workers at the world's biggest i phone factory and china have been beaten and detained by police, after thousands protested against kobe 19 controls and working conditions. videos on social media show people facing rows of police with plastic riots, shields about 200000 people,
2:09 pm
work at the factory. the u. k. supreme court has ruled that scotland does not have the legal power to hold a new referendum on independence without british government support. it's a blow to the scottish independent movement which lost a 2014 referendum by a 10 percent march. former u. s. president donald trump has lost a 3 year fight to block the release of his tax returns. that's after the u. s. supreme court rejected his plea a with the ruling page. the way for the documents to be handed over to the democrat controlled congress. before republicans take control of the house of representatives in january and police in the us state of virginia, say 6 people were killed by a gunman at a wal mart store in chesapeake on tuesday night. they say the suspected shooter is also dead, but released no more details on his identity or motive, or for foreigners. lots of flashing lights now to jerusalem, where a 16 year old student has been killed in at least 14 people injured,
2:10 pm
following explosions at 2 bus stops. israel security minister has described the explosions as attacks the militant palestinian group. hamas praised the blasts as a special operation, but stopped short of claiming responsibility to explosions happened half an hour apart. a 2 bus stops a short distance from each other. several people have sustained serious injuries. our correspondent jerusalem, rebecca ritters as more as you say these a boss attacks these 2 are connected with places saying they believe it to be connected. bass attacks are bad, the bus stops rather happened this morning. just a little after p cow. as you mentioned, several casualties were talking about 18 people injured. one person has been confirmed to have died and that person has been identified as a 16 year old canadian yeshiva students studying hair, adding a shiva here in jerusalem. the initial finding show that these explosive devices
2:11 pm
were placed at these bus stops, that they likely had nails and marbles inside the packages that were placed inside bags at the bus stations to try and cause maximize effect. police is saying that it's most likely fertilizer bomb signifying that they probably have come and were made a domestically here. now, this is of course something that security services and people here in jerusalem haven't save for some time. this is a significant attack attacks like this have been very rare since the end of the intifada. some 2 decades ago. we have say more lone wolf attacks, stabbings, shootings, ramming that kind of thing. where usually, you know, the death toll is quite low and the attacker is then neutralized to use the police parlance. but this of course, is a significant development and police here are talking about a for perspective cell, they're actually looking for several militants, they believe it's
2:12 pm
a coordinated and are calling this a terror attack. 3 suspects have been detained so far, and police a sweeping, the city are all trapped. public transport has been stopped. boss are being inspected, and snippy dogs are out in the city. ok. so you say that there are suspects are already in custody? has anyone claimed responsibility? rebecca? no, it is they no claim of responsibility yet. terry, as you mentioned, hamas did praise these attacks. the is law mc g had have also come out in praise of these attacks, but no group has yet claimed responsibility. as i mentioned, police do believe though that is it coordinated attack as opposed to align wolf attack. and they are investigating perspectives cell here, you know, that they're, that they're investigating that i'm, it's yet as a significant attack, as i mentioned, you know, very few thus attacks like this have been taking place at the end of the intifada.
2:13 pm
and this has all the hallmarks though, all those tax attacks that we saw during that time in the big question here. terry today is whether or not this is the beginning of a new wave of terrorism. of course we are waiting for the new government to be out formed. we are expecting that in the next day or 2 and it will be the country's most right when government's attention here in the country very high. rebecca, thank you so much our correspond at rebecca ritters in jerusalem. indonesians have begun burying their dead after a devastating earthquake to kill more than 270 people. the authorities say the search for dozens of people still missing will continue for another 3 days. the quick happened during the day a time when many children were in class. the earthquake has turned to school building in the city of john jude into rapid students flight as the building came down. but some didn't make it. this family is grieving the loss of get it
2:14 pm
to, to her daughter vida really out there when i saw her from this yellow, i couldn't handle it. but on seeing my daughter's condition, her body and face all had injuries in a nearby boating school. student early 14 shows the damage caused by the earthquake here and other students and forgot just to flight while trying to see if his friend one of the keeper hello to my i feel really sad of him. well, even though my house and my school a damaged, we can repair them. but if you lose a friend, you can't get them back. but i feel guilty to zillow because parents and family. but the schoolteacher is also morning, basically dead. the and their parents trusted us to take care of them. i should have protected them, but i mean, it's been very hard for me. i don't know what i could have done. chancia is one of
2:15 pm
the worst affected areas, the destruction there we take time to recover from and for now rescuers. and while india continued to relief efforts for people grappling with loss and tragedy. t w correspond sharon sewer long has been reporting from the quick zone here. she finds an instance of neighbors helping one another in the wake of disaster. but i'm standing next to an emergency kitchen located in a say, mary asked evacuation tender. we're also set up. it's in the restaurant in the district of to gonna where it's located near to the center of the quake that happened on monday. and as you can see, these mothers, they are preparing food, the days, mentors of egg noodle. and also there, there's catch a chicken, and this will be distributed on not only to this evacuation spot but also to other areas. and it will accommodate around 300 families or around 600
2:16 pm
people. so during this time of crisis am, i can see sadness, panic, a disappointment, but at the same time, i can also see hope and shrink and the way they work together it day. comfort each other during this time of uncertainty is amazing. an ya, what's bland for them? and they still don't know because they lost their homes. it's destroyed by it. they just hope that the quake would eventually stop at all and everything can return to normal. t w. sharon sim, along their reporting for only quakes on in indonesia. german chancellor, olive schultz has been presenting his plans for the 2023 budget to lawmakers. here in berlin, he said, in spite of the current energy crisis, government had everything under control and voice, optimism about measures aimed at helping consumers faced the rising cost of living
2:17 pm
. he also depended his recent visit to china, saying it had helped secure g twenty's port for clear and united rebuttal of any russian threats to use nuclear weapons in ukraine. plus emily alpha mindy's and russia finally has to stock the small. it was important that the g 20 summit and barley sent a very clear signal to moscow in this regard or not. i had one other thing was emphasized by old g 20 members and bother you. any threats with nuclear weapons is inaccessible to all of us value us will not be tolerated. tines that need engine on asked our chief political correspondent, nina has a for her take on chancellor soldiers speech alteri. i've had 4 main takeaways, to be honest. all of charged the german chancellor presented himself very much as the global leader who also gets important missions donald brought to. so he stress very much the fact that he managed on his trip to china to extract that message
2:18 pm
from the chinese president against the use of nuclear weapons. now that will have chart says was crucial to get the support from the g. 20 countries also condemning the actions happening in ukraine. and then the 2nd takeaway was, of course, that all i showed said that his government is having to clean up a lot of the mess that at the conservatives previous government has left behind and that they are having to invest in infrastructure that many policy feels were neglected by conservative ministers over the past decade or so decade and a half that they were in government than the 3rd. main takeaway was, of course, that will actually stress just how hard working his own government has been in those 11 months that they've been in office. he said that they've passed a 100 laws and also trying to make life better for hard working people and low income people. you stress the minimum wage as one such example, but also their investment in infrastructure and in public transport. and then the
2:19 pm
4th take away for me was the fact that the climate crisis was addressed by the german chancellor at the very end. and in a context where will of so said this is the field where we're going to have to see a lot more investment in the future. if germany doesn't want to lose the competition against of the global players, that this is an opportunity, but that hard work needs to be done. now. these budget debates, nina are also an opportunity for the opposition to attack the government on its policies. what have opposition leaders been targeting their to their the opposition lead of liberation. mads, of course, criticized the current government saying that there was a lot of hasty decision making that very often that was the case that the government passed laws and then had to withdraw them or presented drafts that weren't getting the support from the majority of the population. and, and he, for example, of picked out the topic of defense policy way. he said the current government has
2:20 pm
promised that germany will stick to that nato goal of 2 percent investment am in, in the defense area. but that this target is going to be missed in the next budget as well. and could i match, criticize that the current government is saying that it wants to invest at 300000000 less than it did so previously. so in a nutshell, it was to be expected of correlation mads, criticized or left. so it's saying that said this government doesn't understand the market, doesn't understand a cong mix in a thank you very much. our political correspond, nina hunter. they are returning to that story. we reported just a short while ago on indonesia, the earthquake and indonesia on monday has killed at least 270 people. authorities are searching for dozens of people who are still missing. ah, we can now crossover to cert, superman saeed. he is the secretary general of the indonesian red cross and joins us from jakarta. welcome to the program. now we understand that heavy rain and
2:21 pm
aftershocks are hampering rescue efforts. they're in indonesia. are your colleagues on the ground still making progress? yes, in the i just when back from the la basin, i spend a little vans is today and yes at the end of the lives of known that evening. but still we are trying to raise the and that's how we can actually the one that the same with that but, but i think they will continue. and as long as the allowed them to continue to do it and then they will be open anything to, to kind of find out if up with the victims. the other has been quite a bit of destruction. and as you say,
2:22 pm
some of the areas are remote are, there are still places affected by the earthquake that are unreachable for search and rescue teams. and i love the flea all already leads to blue. and the good news is because emmy or as the single, are going to coming to the same, the unseen and mobilize the, the equipment. so i think in them, of the resources we see there is enough resources. know the homework is the hope. so going to go all the but it's been on the ground. that's why i think it is important. what you're going to do to play the role because everybody's dan, this enough be a good when it's going up and people are. so everybody's always remember how to, according to what happened did lead to the girl of the people were
2:23 pm
seeing pictures of buildings that have collapsed. presumably people were in those buildings. are you confident that people can still be pulled from the rubble alive? that i still owe for the people missing of funding the deal today. and of course then i talents and we brave for the best of them and some just as a like today we've fallen for people than still of the month. and only one of them are a life. so of course we have a mixed feeling here, but i think what, what it is, and what then is it, how to walk, ha, and to do maximum effort to find the victims or that we can system lives. now this was a 5.6 magnitude quake, which means it wasn't exceptionally strong,
2:24 pm
but we got more than 270 people dead. can you explain why the loss of life has been so great? what i understand from the order it is because the earthquake is the epis emblem is gonna very close to the dance area. and in the area is the building is not a strong. so when you look at the city on the ad, there is no sector a bed damage, but if you go to the rural area, go to the phillies, go to the one thing because the calling though the billing is not so good then it is easily it will be broken up because he is not as is, it is not really big scale for quick, but the damaging the impact is,
2:25 pm
is quite limiting. so that this the, the actually wrong the authority is to say thank you very much for talking with us . that was superman. saeed. secretary general of the indonesian red cross. thank you very much. thank. the united nations says denounced the increasingly harsh crack down on mass protests in iran. the un human rights council is considering investigating the government's use of force against civilians. human rights groups say more than $400.00 protesters have been killed since the start of nationwide demonstrations in mid september. not many images are coming out of iran at the moment, but videos on social media show scenes resembling a civil war in several curtis cities. these areas have seen daily purchased since the death of 22 year old gina, martha armine in police custody. eye witnesses, se every week brings more brutality from security forces. they say heavily armed
