need your hand, we keep doing what we're doing, and that's why a green revolution is absolutely necessary. europe revealed the future is being determined. now. our documentary theory will show you how people to companies and countries are rethinking everything and making major changes. europe revealed this week on d. w. sirens howled across ukraine to day. as russia launched a new wave of missile strikes targeting the country, civilian infrastructure, several people including at least one child, have been killed and power has been knocked out all the way to neighboring. moldova, the renewed attacks have been met with fierce international condemnation. the clearest message to day came out of the european parliament where legislators

overwhelmingly voted to recognize russia as a state sponsor of terrorism on nichol. really him, berlin, and this is of the day ah, killing civilians destroy infrastructure using systemic violence and intimidation. it is todd to recognize the russian federation for what it is, the parent and manners a rogue state, and it state sponsored observe. the more the russian army is being pushed back and defeated on the back of feeds. in more, it is targeting civilian objects with an attempt to frighten the prey. now society and we get it refilled. we vote now on the resolution of the hope i wrote is open,

close, close. and it is broadly adopted from recitation ah . also on the show, as the iranian regime cracks down on opponents at home. it's also increasingly focusing on dissidents and journalists abroad. so that said, bud, turn the toyota as you me to threats should be taken seriously. because in the past 43 years, these law make republic has repeatedly attacked its opponents and exile with terror attacks and kidnapping disorders, including journalists and article activists, english chickens. oh ukraine. when to eerily dark to day after intense russian bombardment knocked out power and water and most of the country, the ukrainian army says more than 70 cruise missiles fired in quick succession, had critical infrastructure and residential buildings at sites across the country.

3 people were killed and keep after a missile hit their apartment block. according to the mayor of the capital, at least another 11 were injured. a strife also caused ukraine to shut down. it's 3 remaining nuclear power plants as a precaution. after they were cut off from the energy grid earlier, a missile strike in the upper reach our region and hit a maternity hospital that attack killed a newborn. that was only 2 days old. 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 more than 700 attacks since the

start of the war. 9 months ago. russia's repeated attacks on energy infrastructure are making it harder for doctors to provide care at those hospitals that are still standing here in hudson. 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, busy, busy. 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 you do both. they shoot at civilians

at children. we didn't call them hair and didn't kill any of their children. so why have i killing ours? but with russian attacks continuing and winter beginning to bite her 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. i 1st guess tonight is julia mendel. she served as the spokesperson for ukraine president volota mir zalinski from 2019 to 2021. she's also the author of the fight of our lives. my time with the lensky ukraine's battle for democracy and what it means for the world which was published in english in september. miss man, no, welcome to the day you're in cave. at the moment we can tell that the power doesn't

seem to be so strong. it almost looks like you're, you're working with torchlight there. can you tell us about what happened there today? hi, thank you for having me. yes, i'm having allies from my old broken tal. it's gone and i'm having a candle here just still trying to main broadcast, but in fact, my connection connection drops all the time. so i'm not to worry about it right now . i don't have light, i don't have heating and i don't have water for the last 6 or 7 hours. i don't complain. it's like happening all over the country. we know that we are working hugely on restoring everything that was broken today because russia sand, at least 70 me styles and 5 can because that was of the run in production to huge, ukrainian facilities, electricity facilities, and of your facilities. and our team and the crunch. we are working really hard to

try to restore everything we have read your results because we know that in the west is fully restored like the rest that have everything already. but in keep 80 percent of residents feel. stan at me, you know, without anything, without a lie or heating. so this is our reality reality here. and in the rare we fight with candles and power base trying, you know, to go through the and to enter the winter is as much as possible. you know, with any kind of energy or sources, many people who own houses, they try to re trade by generated. lee sold out, but he's even a bad for me because while i'm saying here without like heating and order for 67 hours, my family has some region that you mention have been living in fact, way for weeks and weeks, and the shelving very even awards. just new reality, we cannot get used to eat and it's nothing last but can we watch russia to

ukraine these days? i don't want to talk about your hometown curse on for a 2nd. how did you feel when the russians withdrew from their let me say that, yeah, that was a huge relief and we all had a lot of emotions. i have really very close, relatively there we all cried hugely. we really celebrated this, but it was, you know, such an emotional moment. i really, we know when you, when we will reconnect with each other at the same time rusher test or in my c t, my hometown into a frontline c t and a really huge re, shall killed the bill. and i've heard the story that you told about new born in the body shop was killed by russian shalley. let me say that my mother is a doctor. she works with the keys and right now she has to keep from that we john, and one of them is 13 years old who came to the hospital several days ago and he

doesn't have one hand anymore. the other one is also building wounded by the 3rd one died today unfortunately because of fresh and selling. he was wounded in he had any again, every alley. see, i'm trying to send them the parcel because my mom has 4 newborn keys who were left there. and she doesn't know what to do, she just takes care about them in the hospital. and they don't have just, you know, hygiene sayings or food baby food. so i'm trying to attend their the parcel, but it happened that the cues for getting the parcel like i really huge hundreds of people and the we such a huge shelling that we are afraid. that's why my father, you know, can be done, we need or anything will happen. so we try to get these parcels different ways. but yeah, the, the live a terrifying, but i need to say that everyone who i'm talking in key in other regions or even he has gone. they say that they're very happy that there are no russians anymore. they, they don't want any kind of russian, russian or russian world as

a russian propaganda said. and they say, we know this is the period of live that we need to pass through. it's a very difficult one. it's a dangerous one, but we can go through that. yeah, you mind asking what people are telling you about the time under russian occupation . you know, it's like the atmosphere of constant fear and ease existence in the balance between life and gas. you know, like, my aunt is a teacher and she had a lot of generations of students, and one of her students was killed in a 2nd just in a moment because shrapnel from russian me style was line, evolve their houses and a strep. now got into the window and he killed her immediately. and other guy who helped to restore electricity that was damaged all the time. because of shelley, when, when she was living there,

he was heavily beaten and needed to leave the region. again, i mentioned that people were leaving without any resources and they were even afraid to go out at you talk about the mammals. i was talking to young females and they were so scary to, to be there to go out because they knew that there were a lot of reports about great beings. and you know, this is a terrible thing. and of course i've heard about a lot of tortures, but what i know that people whom i know they disappeared. and this is another kind of trauma. you don't know what the people are. they alive are they, you know, tortured. can you help them? what happened to them? and again, let me return to the 5 that russians were taken away. a lot of kids. this is terrible experience. so they wanted to take this for and you were in keep that were born in ukrainian hospital and were left by abandoned by their mother. and my mother didn't allow that, which i feel here. why? like her personal harry that took a lot of her resources. yeah. so this was

a terrible experience and no one wants to have back given all that you and your fellow ukrainians have been through and are still going through. what does it mean that the european parliament classified russia as a state sponsor of terrorism? what does it mean to you? smoke russians, they cannot defeat ukrainian army on the battle ground. and this is such a low and such, such a disgusting type of behavior when they start fighting ukrainian civilians ukrainian returned to hospitals and keys. and this is nothing, but territory is what's happening here. so we welcome this decision. we are grateful for this understanding and we hope that these will help restrict russia more limited war. and the russia will not have these resources to continue its terrorist actions in your crave. you know, we are fighting here, not just for the lance. i'm sure that know you were p and come,

she wanted the border with russia. russia feels like non stop a bowl with its imperialistic ambition. so what we want, we want actually to finish the talk correctly and not to allow it to go to our democrat country. we belong to the real world, and we want this to be recognized. we want to be free and independent ukraine. we don't have much time left, but i do want to ask you how important the 400000000 dollar military aid that the us pledge today to your country is how important that is in this endeavor and the war effort at this point. you know, this is very bad to recognize and, but again to nothing just like be grateful for this. today ukraine fully depends on these western partners financially military with every means. unfortunately, ukrainian economy is destroyed and we do not have resources to fight russians on the battle ground. so we understand that this is one more proof that the united

states and the western world stands with us and will help us to move, you know, to defend our democracy. well i, we are very grateful and we plan to send with united as much as needed because if we don't stop ration now and just democracy pen, just lose to all talk with c. and this is something that we cannot allow to happen, julia mendel, from our sports person for ukrainian president, will let me lensky. thank you so much for your time and all the best to you and your family. thank you for having me. ah, more than 2 months brave iranians of all ages and walks of life have been taking to the streets, calling for freedom equality and the end of islamic rule. and for more than 2 months, the regime has been escalating its violent response to the demonstrations. dozens

of protesters have reportedly been killed in the last week alone. today, the u. s. sanctioned another 3 iranian officials over the bloody crack down and to morrow the un human rights council will hold an urgent meeting to consider launching an investigation into the crimes committed in the name of iran's rulers. oh, 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 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, leg kurdistan, or c stunning 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 countries 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 islamic republic is responsible as a medium for the islam. the mess. awesome families are not even told where they relatives or what's happening to them. so some come to the prison every day, demanding information or release of their loved ones are released 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. amy's to maintain or even build up the barrier of fear, death the needs in order to rule a country where people don't want them. so that penalty is the most efficient at to, to spread fear in the society. 7 so far that fear is not putting protest us off,

they keep going to the streets, determined to continue until the regime falls. day after day d. w. 's farsi department has been reporting in depth on the protests in iran. censorship and internet blackouts have turned, gathering and verifying information into a highly challenging task. but throughout their reporting, another challenge has emerged. they themselves have moved into the focus of the iranian regime. yeah, national including for 8 weeks in a row, nella fargo law, me and her colleagues have been closely following the crack down on the protests. any, ron, it's less is their task, but to amplifying the voices of those that the iranian regime is trying to silence skills to day. they have received footage of a young woman who committed suicide after having been detained by security forces. almost every day they receive a video footages from inside your own from streets of their own. and of course we have some sources maps on connections. and um, some reliable sources that, that's

a published of videos that recorded by the citizen report this because as you know, we don't have free media inside iran. so that's, that's the value of the citizenry. so most citizen reporters with this material, d w's persian language team, produces dozens of videos and articles every day. thanks to bypass software, such as tour or syphon people in iran can access t w's content. in spite of the regime efforts to block foreign media, they try to prevent pictures and image just reaching us. and if we try to prevent our content to reach people in the wrong, but it doesn't work because what we've seeing is the contrary, that we have a lot more or even a 4 times more reached. and we have before to protest again. i think by noon, but their work comes with the price t w's persian language department has been sanctioned, with a travel band by the iranian regime. many here still have family back in iran.

there fearing for their safety, hung up the love of the regimes. arm seems to reach all the way to germany. some team members have even received personal threats. so that said, bud, ted, the tie of as you me, the threats should be taken seriously. because in the past 43 years of the islamic republic has repeatedly attacked its opponents in exile with terror attacks and kidnappings, including journalists and political activists, russia kenzie imprisoning and torture is part of the regime daily routine boys, michigan, man. but this behavior makes me focus even more on my journalistic work done and encourages me to be a voice of the people in iran, despite threats, sanctions, and internet censorship. they will continue to inform as best as they can about what is happening in iran. i'm, i'm of what they call it an ongoing revolution that could last for months or even years. i been one of us brands. i had gulker. here's an iranian political scientists and an assistant professor at the university of tennessee at chattanooga . good to see you. we see every day how these law magazine tries to quash internal

opposition. but how does it go about arranging critics outside the country? oh, i to the soldier public, you know, as a repressive aunt of dorian regime have used the transnational repression from the beginning from 97 to 9. when they came to the bower, they try to maintain the power through the repression of the rain and inside of the country that is much easier for them and their oppression. iranian critics, and you know, political activists are outside of the country, india spiral. they did it in 43 years. the, you know, without stopping. this is not a new phenomenon. they try to identify the political activists. they try to troll them to try to escape them to try to you know, in some cases they try to kidnap and kill them. the whole idea is try to keep them silence in order to maintain the political rule is a these efforts are expanding. hauser?

yes, this is an ongoing process, but whenever this lemme get public feels threaten mostly because of to put it all because of, you know, did the revolution that is happening inside of countries. d or panicking and h t y to, you know, extended their, their own reparation, reparation. you know, outside an inside of the countries, if they feel not threaten, you know, the level of the repression will drop a little bit continue for the most active political activists or dissident. but right now, because of the iranian, were protest, serena revolution to only to only do still completely freak out this flemish republic. you know, that this is a very different situation compared to the other round of the porter. so they are trying to extend and you know, intensify their oppression inside of the countries. right now we know that more than 70000 people have been arrested. we know that actually more than 400 people

have been killed, according to the officials at to see an outside of the country. the trying to send, you know, the treating or email and messages to the range of melissa damien. active is to academia, to make sure they are silent in this time of the crisis. how are dissidents and the factor in them to factor is monitored? they are using those online and offline technique, you know, online to try to hide her online. our current g made the try to resend it. you know, for example, fishing, you made dick fly to identify dead in new activities, especially in 2022. did try to tool them if you are active or the store teaching and academia they do is try to send the image chances their meeting will count. they try to push her, her pressure on these people. and of course, you know, physical surveillance. we know that this learning republic has their own agent not

only uranian agent, some of them or the shia muslim from parker, some from lebanon, from rog that you're working with as long as you public security forces, trying to identify, you know, and monitor the lenient activities outside of the countries and if necessary, try to eliminate and kill them. who white the picture, your painting sounds like there is no safe place for arranging decedents to live. is it true that the regime will always find them if it wants to? there is you try to actually push this idea that there is no safe place and to be honest, you know, there is no 100 percent a place. but we knew that the country that her closer to you on the neighbor country are much more dangerous for the union activists, especially because they are mostly corrupted, authoritarian regime. so when you have a dictatorship in the nearby, you're going to use it much easier to, to kidnap the political activist suspicion, for example, in the case of rulers that in, in, in,

to achieve in iraq or the iranian activities in porky eastern europe also is not very safe for the union because of the corruption and the lack of the rule of law. this is europe and united states much more se, but you know, as you said, there is no 100 a person safe place for damien activist. thank i'll car, political scientists and assistant professor at the university of tennessee or chattanooga. pleasure speaking to you tonight. thanks for having me. thank you. ah, germany's oldest christmas market has opened again after a 2 year hiatus caused by the corona virus and demick. the statesman marked in the eastern city of dresden dates back to a royal privilege. granted in 1434. the name of the market refers to the traditional christmas cake from dresden is here. organizer is baked, a special cake, 2 meters and $22.00 centimeters long. representing this year 2022. the market stays
