a state sponsor of terrorism will here believe is from our correspondent in brussels. and with protests in iran showing no sign of letting up a government is growing ever more violent in its response. we take a look at the current situation in these long for public and the world cup and guitar, japan, stun, germany in their 1st group match the next upsets of a favorite and the tournament. ah, i'm nicole really to those of you joining us on p. b s in the united states and our viewers all around the world. welcome russia has stepped up. it's rocket attacks on ukraine was fresh strikes on cities across the country. authority say russian rockets heads a residential building in the capital,

keep killing at least 3 people. the strikes knocked out power in the western city of live and disrupted water supply in several regions in neighboring. moldova officials say power was lost to half of the country due to the strikes in ukraine. this comes after ukrainian officials said a strike on the maternity ward and the southern upper regional region on tuesday killed a newborn baby was pulled from the rubble of what was the maternity ward. this doctor was fortunate to make it out alive. but the russian 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 are making it hard. if a doctor is 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 business. with 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'll give us, 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, hare san residence, the facing shortages of water, food, and other essentials, many a making a difficult choice. and joining the government's voluntary evacuation effort boarding buses to seek safety further from the front lines falling. today's triste. dolly is young, philip shalt sw one to one street on the outskirts of keys that was head. i missile . at least 3 people died in the street behind me in risk roads just outside the city of here. when a missile hit the place in the afternoon local residence that we have talked to are still and our shock there is no running water, there is no electricity. in fact, there are power cuts and watch 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. and our corresponding economy is also a cave. he gave us these details on the latest russian strikes. well, this really was a big deal. i say, one of the biggest thing over 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. you came back on the battlefield instead attacking the big cities places often 100 comes away from the front lines, attacking that civilian 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 in care of right now,

most of the city is in total darkness. most of the traffic lights are out. occasionally you'll see a few buildings with lights on and you are asked of 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 current 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 is repeated across the country. people without water, people without power, and often without heating or there is a sense that year in some parts, casually, they are reconnection households to the cities, but it is obviously desperate because as you can probably see around the winter has finally arrived here in ukraine 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 off. yeah, kids may originally click guys weren't that the capital faces the worst winter since world war 2. how are you crane ins holding up so far?

i think the expectation from the russians was that this would break you brain resistance, that it would see civilians coming on the streets, protesting, forcing their positions to come to some kind of deal with russia to end or listen to make life more bearable for now. i think 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 a 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 no 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. understandably so to, to lose nick connelly reporting from keith. thank you so much and please try to stay safe. the european parliament website has been hit by a cyber attack just hours after a designated russia as 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 you does not currently have a legal structure in place to deal with. it are corresponded in brussels. terry schultz told us more the european parliament's 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 met solo, 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 as terry shoulds reporting for us. and here is a look at some other stories making news around the world today. a russian court has opened the trial of opposition politician to ilya yochi. moscow city counselor could face up to a decade in prison for denouncing president vladimir putin invasion of ukraine. is prosecution comes amid an unprecedented crackdown on dissidence in russia. 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 astronaut with a physical disability. the former british paralympics winter john mc fall lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. the essays, latest recruitment dr. aims to bring diversity to space, travel, or 2 of the sinks. trainee astronauts are women, maybe 3 percent of the statue of a controversial german colonial officer has been taken down in namibia capital vinto after pressure from activists in 18. 93 cord from francois commanded a brutal operation in which some 80 people were killed. and what was then known as german south west africa. the country was a german colony between 188419154 more than 8 weeks, armenians have been protesting in the streets, calling for freedom, and an end to these law mach republic. in spite of the governments violent response

on tuesday on thursday, excuse me, 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 we used before national and international courts to hold people accountable for crimes committed in the name of iran's rulers. i down with the dictator. that's what iranians have been taking to the streets for voicing the 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 it's security forces designed to protect the pair. ricks against opponents are attacking protest of all over the country most violently in the countries ethnic minority regions like curtis tom or c, stunted 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. 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 are subject to torture. according to family members, bias army basha can g harmel. she was saying of educating g. these law mc republic enjoys the silent torture of hussein. and the mental torture of my parents can hear matter. the people are satisfied with the torture. if something happens to my

brother, again, the entire system of the law make republic is responsible as homage on 48th law. me 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. and a ranch ariella 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, amys, to maintain or even build up the barrier of fear that the 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 this society so far that fear is not putting protestors off. they keep going to the streets determined to continue until the regime falls.

so more protests triggering more violence. leading to more protests, cameron martin is a lecturer and the department of international relations at the university of sussex. and i asked them whether iran is trapped in a vicious cycle. indeed that's indeed the case up to now the cycle of violence, the regime hoping the more while and will suppress the protest or scare people off the streets. and in particular, curtis on has been the side for really unbridled violence by the regime forces for precisely that reason what i mean so far this has not worked as, as you also mentioned, a test for device ability of this strategy is as 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 this on 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 to changes calculation in, in how it is dealing with the protests. the united states today, 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 abroad. and as we see the, the cost of maintaining this huge paralysis 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 efficient country pilot, that iran is able to 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 oppression of the of the protested 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 and the news the, this meeting will look at a draft resolution which demands a high level international investigation into their oppression. and cracked down on the protest as if this is actually approved. i think it's quite significant move because that will sets 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 tool on how the operation provide comfort to, to save iraq iraqi codes 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, to bus stops in jerusalem. israel's police have described the explosions as a 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 happens? a bomb built to spray out shrapnel on any one near by. 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. lloyd 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're from, 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. you know, netanyahu was and talked to form a far right coalition, government ultra nationalist lawmaker. it's a mob been chavira 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. tension between israelis and palestinians have been mounting for months and the twin blasts are making the situation more volatile.

meanwhile, israeli security forces search for evidence. the palestinian islamic militant group, hamas which governs garza praised the people behind the bloss, but didn't claim responsibility for them. ah, for 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. it was a response to fif us threads of sanctions over the one love arm band. on the pitch, germany were eager to set things straight after a disastrous exit in russia 4 years ago. but there opener didn't go exactly as plant 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 they lacked bite. the chances were there, the finishing was well, for though japan cloth the weight back into this game, it's who do i never in the 2nd half was this an upset in the making the japanese fence seem to think so. and tacoma san immediate reality by giving japan the need to one the finest for the next big upset. this was up, this time it was japan that's done what time would come champions, germany and in today's other world cub matches an uneventful game between croatia and morocco. ended in a go las draw while 2010 champion spain, who play in germany's group, each showed a dominant display against costa rica. when his legal player, donnie almost found the back of the net. after an artistic effort in the 11 minute . the 1st of 3 goals for spain in the 1st half alone, and they didn't slow down. they're fed on doris with his 2nd goal of the match

after the break. and then 18 year old gobby at another final score. a convincing 7 nil germany crash out of the last world cup in 2018 in the group stage after losing their opening match against mexico. and we asked our sports correspondent, jonathan harding and door of history was about to 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 was 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 rush or 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. now 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. so we'll get right back to you, jonathan, but 1st a look at how fans and dough are reacted. i very much appreciate the assign. yeah. because it's really hard to, to tolerate that. the organize all of this tournament basically prevent us from thinking and speaking on. now when we think 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 here. of course, the stickler could have been stronger. however, at least it has music. no, i think it was like a something good in between like between like violating the rules of my t frog 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 on to the pitch for registration. going one fan, they're claiming that the debate was a distraction. jonathan, nobody out of the germany camp has pulled that card yet. but could this controversy have played a role in germany's poor performance on the page? well, i think it's a complex situation and it has a 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 heart's 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 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. and so 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 space winning heavily has major consequences because germany play spain next. but before that game, which is the last game on that day to pam 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 tonia annually

falling at 4 as the de leon for its jonathan hiding in dela, thank you so much. you're wanting the, the well, you news here is a quick reminder of the top story. we're falling for ya today. russia has launched fresh attacks on infrastructure sites across ukraine. the rockets have knocked out power and heating and several cities and caused massive black outs, not only in ukraine, but also in neighboring moldova. the data will you notice from berlin, stay with us now. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day, and i hope to see you there with a with
