western city of live and disrupted water supply in several regions in neighbouring while dover official say power was lost to half of the country due to the strikes in ukraine. and it comes after ukrainian officials said a strike on a maternity warrant, and the southern separation region on tuesday killed a newborn baby. it was pulled from the rubble of what was the maternity ward. this doctor was fortunate to make it out alive, but the russians strike that flattened his workplace did take the life of the baby . he was there to deliver. its mother was rescued. just the latest casualties of yet another attack on a healthcare facility. moscow has long denied targeting hospitals and clinics, but the world health organization has recorded moulton 700 attacks since the start of the war. 9 months ago. russia's repeated

attacks on energy infrastructure. a, making it hard at the doctors to provide care at those hospitals that are still standing here in hassan. they're forced 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 global with, with the, it's hard without an elevator, hard without light to get the child to the 6th floor. no water, no heating. working in the dim light, doctors amputate the teenagers left arm. his mother waits nearby, inconsolable he did was they shoot at civilians at children. we didn't call them here and didn't kill any of their children. so why

are they killing ours? but with russian attacks continuing and winter beginning to bite hair, san residence, the facing shortages of water, food, and other essentials, many are making a difficult choice. and joining the governments voluntary evacuation effort boarding buses to seek safety further from the front lines falling to day strikes. t w's young. philips shalt swent to one street on the outskirts of keith that was hit. i am miss al. earlier, at least 3 people died in the street behind me in risk. good odds, just outside the city of kia when a missile hit the place in the afternoon local residence that we have talked to are still and are shocked. there is no running water. there is no electricity, in fact, there are power cuts and water cuts all over the capital of ki evans and many other cities in ukraine. the mayor of kia 1st said that important infrastructure was said,

but he didn't want to go into any details. what is for sure is it's another massive wave of russian missiles on ukraine, another very dark day for the country as a tax on the civilian infrastructure. continue. an economy is falling. today's events and key for us make, give us more details on the latest rush and strikes across the country. the of the last month, month and a half where russia has switched his tactics. having basically discovered that it's not really able to do a lot to push ukraine back on the battlefield. instead attacking the big cities places of non disclosure to way from the front lines attacking that civil infrastructure, power, water heating plants most of give is currently without power. that is definitely not the norm previous times. you know, within a few hours, you'd have more power. but just driver and care of right now, most of city is

a total darkness. most of the traffic lights are out. occasionally you'll see a few buildings with lights on. and you can ask. so why is this, you know, is there a hostile neighbor with some of the critical infrastructure? often people get very annoyed because they see their neighbors with power and can't, can't understand why they are connected when the rest of the city isn't. but the general picture is here, one of darkness, and this is something that repeated across the country, people without water, people without power, and often without heating. or there is a sense that you're in some parts. actually they are reconnecting households to the cities, but it is obviously desperate because as you can probably see around the winter has finally arrived here in the grain of to very warm autumn. finally got sub 0 temperatures, snow on the ground, and people ask themselves how this is gonna work out how they're going to cope. given the in a spring is still for 5 months of yeah, kids may originally quit, guys weren't that the capital faces the worst winter since world war 2. how are you cranes holding up so far?

i think the expectation from the russians was that this would break ukraine resistance, that it would see civilians coming on the streets, protesting, forcing their politicians to come to some kind of deal with russia to end or listen to make life more bearable for now. adding it's having the opposite effect. we're seeing a lot of defiance. a lot of anger people, even living hungry, comes away from the front line kind of directly involved in their daily life in this conflict, no chance to escape that. we're also seeing a lot of western help coming. even coaching may be who are paying less attention to this conflict. suddenly confronted with images of people surviving without power and heating in horrors, apartments trying to kind of survive somehow. so for now, i don't think there's any sense of panic, but there is definitely an expectation that some people may leave lots of ukraine to come back from europe in recent months when things got a bit more manageable question. now whether some of the people might now leave again in the hope of kind of sitting things out in germany, poland, somewhere else am. and there is now an effort to try and offer people some kind of response police stations or the government buildings being opened up where people can charge their phones, maybe get an internet connection. maybe, you know,

just sit in the warm sometime. i think the most important thing psychologically is internet and phone connection. i think i've seen people living without days without power or water for days or weeks on end. but when people are unable to reach their relatives unable to work out what's happening to their family elsewhere, then that really is the thing that really is most difficult from rural here. understand only $70.00. nic connelly reporting from keith. thank you so much and please try to stay safe. the european parliament's website has been hit by a cyber attacked his hours after a designated russia, a state sponsor of terrorism. european lawmakers voted overwhelmingly in favor of the resolution because of moscow's repeated strikes on civilian targets in ukraine . and the designation won't have any legal ramifications as the unit is not currently have a legal structure in place to deal with that. our correspondence in brussels, terry schultz told us more for the european parliaments website appears to be back

up now, but it has been up and gone down again just this afternoon. so what we saw happen is that just shortly after the parliament voted on this measure that you mentioned to declare russia, state sponsor of terrorism. the website was no longer accessible, even clicking on it to read this statement. following the vote, you could, you couldn't get in, and this remains down for some time. the president of the european parliament, roberta metzler, went to twitter to say that a pro kremlin group had claimed responsibility for the attack. and that the, the parliament's a tech team was fighting back against it. and she said that she had one response for the hackers. and that's slow you quine, of course, glory to ukraine. now this measure, as you mentioned, does not have legal standing because the parliament at this time only has the ability to declare individuals and organizations as, as terrorist entities. but they hope that this measure will push european union governments to and, and the european union itself to create

a legal framework in which countries can be designated as state sponsors of terrorism. this is something that is done in the united states, but they haven't gone so far as to declare russia one of these, these countries yet. nonetheless, of course, european parliamentarians spoke out against the attack and said this to showed that the measure that they passed today, declaring russia as a terrorist entity, was well proven. oh, here's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world to day. a russian court has opened the trial of opposition. politician ilia yashimi, moscow city councilor could face up to a decade in prison for denouncing president vladimir putin invasion of ukraine. his prosecution comes amid an unprecedented crackdown on dissidents and russia. u. 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 independence movement which lost a 2014 referendum by a 10 percent margin. the european space agency has selected it's 1st asked for not

with a physical disability. the former british paralympic sprinter, john mc fall, lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. 2 of the 6 trainee astronauts are women, the e s. a's recruitment dr. ames to bring more diversity to space travel already affected by for more than 8 weeks, iranians have been protesting in the streets, calling for freedom. and an end to these la mac republic, in spite of the government's violent response. on thursday, the united nations top rights body will hold an urgent meeting to consider launching an investigation into the bloody crackdown. any evidence found could later be used before a national and international courts to hold people accountable for crimes committed in the name of iran's rulers. oh, down with a dictator. that's what iranians have been taking to the streets for voicing their

anger about human rights violations by the islamic republic, and demanding an end to theocratic rule. resistance against the system, however, is something the regime shows 0 tolerance for its security forces designed to protect the clerics against opponents, are attacking protest of all over the country most violently in the countries ethnic minority regions like kurdistan. all this done and baluchistan. it seems that as the protests have escalated and spreads and actually even smaller towns and villages now joining the proteins, the regime seems to be making resorts to, to more violence using combat ammunition straight to the south of the protest. and as a result, we have more and more casualties. oh, more than 300 people have been killed, according to human rights groups, including more than 40 children. in many cases, their relatives are forced to pretend dead deaths were accidental. 7 thousands

others are taken away by the security forces and end up in one of the country is notorious prisons, along with other political prison of like human rights activists. nothing's or 2 d all has their own ocoee, where they're subject to torture. according to family members, from various law me bullshit, kenji, home, osha was saying of asha kenya. these lament republic enjoys the silent torture of hussein and the mental torture of my parents. you can here matter. the people are satisfied with the torture. if something happens to my brother, again, the entire system of the islamic republic is responsible as homage on 40 islam he mess often, families are not even told whether relative or what's happening to them. so some come to the prison every day, demanding information, or release of their loved ones. a release that is anything but certain. under

rancho rio law protest us can be charged for waging war against god, a crime that may result in the death penalty. some have already received that verdict. amy's to maintain or even build up the barrier of fear, death day needs in order to rule a country where people don't want them. so death penalty is the most efficient tool to spread fear in the society. so far that fear is not putting protest us off, they keep going to the streets, determined to continue until the regime falls for more or less for and come around . martin lecturer and the department of international relations at the university of sussex is also featured in that report, which isn't there, mr. martin, more protest triggering more violence, leading in turn to more protests again, iran seems to be trapped in a vicious cycle, right?

indeed. that's indeed the case up to now this cycle of violence, the regime hoping that more while and will suppress the protest or scare people off the streets. and in particular, curtis on has been decided for really unbridled violence by the regime forces for precisely that reason. what i mean so far this has not worked, as you also mentioned, a test for a device. ability of this strategy is a general strike, which has been called for by main kurdish political organization to take place tomorrow. across iran. the intention is to relieve curtis on from the massive repression and pressure which is currently under by you know, expression of so that if you buy people in other parts of iran, if that actually takes place to a reasonable extent, i think that would be a milestone in this protest because it shows that coordination and

cooperation between different parts of their own different regions. especially a place like cortisol, which is positively quite organized, can actually counter measure kind of design contra measures against the government's excessive violence across iran. and that may change or force the government changes calculation in, in how it is dealing with the protests, the united states, today's sanction 3 more rainy and security officials have the sanction had any effect so far. not really. i mean, many of these officials to not necessarily have to travel or don't travel normally up road. and as we see the, the cost of maintaining this huge approach of repression is huge. and the government has been able to pay for it. partly because actually the russia crime war has led to the massive increase in energy prices as we know,

which has resulted in an implicit decision by the united states in not fully enforcing its sanctions on oil industry. in iran, there are many reports over the since actually the, by them as an assertion came to power that iran is able to and actually does sell oil to china and other customers on very reduced price. and that is enabling iran to actually basically finance its repression of the process. so thus far, the sanctions have not had an effect on the repression of the of the protest is by the regime and demand. germany will demand an investigation of the crackdown in the un human rights council. what do you expect? well, i mean the, from what i have seen in the news the, this meeting will look at a draft resolution which demands a high level international investigation into their oppression. and crack down on the protest as if this is actually approved. i think it's quite significant move

because that will set in motion a longer process of international united nation lead investigation into this, this killing of testers. and given the history of, of, of the region in terms of humanitarian intervention. we remember 1991 following to quite talk on how the operation provide comfort to, to save iraq iraqi kurds from the boss regime at the time. depending on the scale on the continuation of the protest, some sort of international intervention or at least exercise of further influence on the wrong behavior might be on the agenda. camera much in the university of sussex. many thanks. thank you. a 16 year old student has been killed and at least 18 people injured, following explosions and 2 bus stops and jerusalem. israel's police have described the explosions as the coordinated attack. here is more at

a bus stop on the outskirts of jerusalem. a blast caught on cctv camera during the morning rush hour. israeli police try to piece together what happened? a bomb built to spray out shrapnel on any one near boy. around half an hour later to another bus stop elsewhere on the outskirts of jerusalem. a 2nd explosion, the israeli authorities believe the 2 separate blasts are related. the lord cautiously, i really, really hope we capture terrorists or the terrorists and root of this organization. because assuming there is a connection between events, it is clear that it is something more complex law. a teenager attending a jewish religious school was killed, and over a dozen people were injured. the man expected to be israel's next prime minister. benjamin netanyahu visited survivors in hospital. we still have

a fight with brutal terror that is raising its head again. and we will do everything possible to restore security to all citizens of israel. soon. netanyahu is in talks to form a far right coalition, government ultra nationalist lawmaker. it's m all. banga via is expected to be part of it on a visit to one bloss site. he demanded. israel lay siege to the groups, carrying out the attacks. tensions between israelis and palestinians have been mounting for months, and the twin blasts are making the situation more volatile. meanwhile, israeli security forces such for evidence, the palestinian islamic militant group, hamas which governs garza praised the people behind the bloss, but didn't claim responsibility for it.

lou before the ball got even rolling for germany's world cup opener against japan, the team had a message for fifo german players covered their mouths during a team photo. just ahead of kick off was a response to fif us threat of sanctions over the one love arm band on the pitts. jeremy. we're eager to set things straight after a disastrous exit in russia 4 years ago. there opener didn't go exactly as planned . his tiger under juan, broke the dead lock, 30 minutes into the game. after converting from the spot. germany could have easily increased their lead, but the lack bite. the chances were there, the finishing was woolforth though. japan cloth they, we're backing to this game. so one never in the 2nd half was isn't upset in the making the japanese fence seem to think so. and talk to my son immediate reality by giving japan the beat to one the findings for the next big upset. this was,

this time it was japan that's on what time would come champions, germany and in today's other world good matches, an uneventful game between croatia and morocco. and that in a goal is draw while 2010 champions spain who play in germany's grew. e showed a dominant display against costa rica foreigners league player. dani alo found the back of the net after an artistic effort in the 11th minute. the 1st of 3 goals for spain in the 1st half alone, and they didn't slow down there. but on doris with his 2nd goal of the match after the break. and then 18 year old garvey added another, the final score a convincing 7. know and for more on all of that, let's go to our resorts corresponding jonathan harding has been following the day in dougherty. jonathan. germany crashed out of the last world cup in 2018 in the group stage, after losing their opening match against mexico. now they suffered the same fate against japan. are we seeing history repeat itself?

i think it would be tempting to say that obviously, after this result, there's a lot of disappointment here for germany, fans, and everybody who's watched the germany team. but i think there's an obvious difference to the performance 4 years ago for 70 minutes. germany were actually very good tonight. and i think the problem was that at the end they played bad football when it counted. and that's ultimately why they lost the game. i'm not sure whether it's the same as russia 4 years ago. thomas miller said, it feels that way. but in terms of the performance, i think there was a key difference. there are some reasons to be optimistic tonight. if you're a germany fine, even if it's not obvious, and the german team came under a lot of fire for bowing to feel pressure over the one love arm band and in a move that was heavily criticized on social media, they opted to show their disagreement by covering their mouth, we'll get right back to you jonathan, but 1st a look at how fans and dough are reacted. i very much appreciate the sign up

because it's really hard to, to tolerate that. on the organize all of this tournament basically prevent us from thinking and speaking on everything. so from that perspective, i really appreciate this sign of our team. it is good that they have done something that they have sent this message because this is the right thing. they are doing you of course, this ticket could have been stronger. however, at least it has been a signal. i think it was like something good in between like, between like violating the rules of my teeth for and not doing anything so. so yeah, i appreciate what they did, he got so much of instead of covering their mouth, they should have just played better football and put more energy onto the pitch restricted. so one fan, they're claiming that the debate was the distraction, jonathan, nobody out of the germany camp is pulled out card yet. but could this controversy have played a role in germany's poor performance on the page?

well, i think is a complex situation. nancy 6 after the game, he doesn't want this to be an excuse. he thought it was too cheap to say. this is the reason that we lost the game and i think that's fair. but i think in the other hand, you probably have to say that it played a role, and the mammal noise said after the game, he talks about it with the players. they obviously wanted to send a message. this is obviously been a point of discussion for this team throughout this tournament, even before the start of the woke up hearing his hearts been something that they've been thinking about. so obviously was on their mind. i think the issue is that they played good football for 70 minutes and if they had scored a 2nd goal, we wouldn't be having this conversation. people who would have said what a performance by germany on and off the field in said they end up losing the game and we're talking about both issues. so really, i think as i said earlier, the reason that germany last night was they played bad football when it mattered not because of the arm band conversation. instead, the germans either now probably licking their wounds while spain destroy in costa rica. what does that mean for germany and their chances to go far as welcome?

well, nothing good. if we're honest, you never want to lose the woke up opener. germany have now got far too much experience of doing that for honest, but spam winning heavily has major consequences because germany play spain next. but before that game, which is the last game on that day, japan play costa rica in the opening game of that day. and if japan, when it means that germany effectively have to beat spain, to avoid an unimaginable embarrassment, which would be going out of the, woke up after 2 games, which is worse than russia. hard to believe. but that's where terminator and you'll be falling at 4 sd, the leaders for it's jonathan hiding in dela, thank you so much. watching the w. c. as a quick reminder of our top story today, russia has launched fresh attacks on infrastructure sites across to ukraine. the rockets have knocked down power and heating and several cities and caused massive

blackouts in neighboring moldova. after the break, tim's habash and interviews, former russian diplomat, boris bonder f on conflict don't do. stay tuned for that. i'm nicole really in berlin and i will be back with more news at the top of the hour of to see that ah, in with ah, with
