rethinking everything i'm making may take change in europe revealed this week. i'm d w ah ah ah, this is d w. news coming to live from berlin. russia accused of trying to freeze ukraine into submission. president lansky purchase the un security council to condemn what he calls energy terror. after russia launched a new wave of rocket attacks, knocking out heating, power and water supplies in several cities. also coming up as the un human rights

council holds an urgent meeting on iran's brutal crackdown. we look at how even the smallest signs of descent are costing people their lives and their calling it the miracle of dough hall. japan's to one shock defeat the germany sends pans spilling onto the streets and prompts calls for a national holiday. ah hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. ukraine's president laudermill zalinski has urged the un to back a resolution condemning what he called energy terror. his plea came after russia launched a new way, but rocket attacks against ukraine's beleaguered energy grid. addressing the security council by video link soleski said the attacks clearly constituted crimes

against humanity. ukrainian officials say the missile strikes killed at least 7 people and knocked out power across the country, neighboring moldova was also affected by blackouts. this latest russian air assaults was brutal, devastating, and wide spread. little remains on this street invest garad, a town on the outskirts of keys, which took a direct heads, though to call this place home, left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. so i am looking for pats left behind in the chaos of the shelling here while others try to clear away the debris amongst the ruins of a residential building. there is no electricity and no water and no sign that russia is going to stop any time soon. probably some thoughts with you today with the scariest thing. it was very loud and terrifying. you could hear the

strikes so many rectum, so many houses ruined. people have nowhere to live, nowhere to sleep. it's cold. i can't explain. and what phone you were also human beings around 70 missiles were lodged by russia. this time around reeking more damage on ukraine's already crippled energy system. here in the cap at so many have lost power, and the city's mer says at least 80 percent of residents have been left without water. and they are not alone. cities right across ukraine are dealing with blackouts and problems with water supplies. in the wake of the attack, ukraine's president's address the un security council in new york insisting it's time for the well to act owing me, their cd. what russia wants to achieve with such strikes should not cause confusion

anywhere in the world like him older in energy, terror, or is comparable to the use of weapons of mass destruction. we must, all right. when the temperature is below saver outside, and his hens of millions of people are left without electricity, i never ceased give her heat some water hub. yeah. as a result of russians miss all their hitting energy facility of sla beth woody. this is an obvious crime against humanity. broadly, lou jealous presidents zalinski says ukrainian people are unbreakable and they will get through this war. but just how much more of this? can they really take a short while ago? i spoke with our correspondent connolly, who's in ukraine's capital. he gave me his assessment of the situation there after the latest attack. well, this really was a very major russian missile attack we've been seeing now for the last month, month and a half. and this is one of the biggest in terms of its impact that i've certainly

seen being here on the ground in ukraine. yes, we have, we've seen attacks before on heating plants on electricity, plants, electricity distribution. but most the time military care of which was the privilege place. most supplies would come back on within a matter of hours, maybe the next morning. or you'd have regular planned outages, 34 hours here and then a few hours back. so you could kind of go about your daily business, wash some clothes, cook some food that is different this time the system isn't in kind of free fall. there is a sense that they have managed to stabilize things, but there's still no clear information for people who are in care of yet how they should act, what they should expect. lots of bots of care of are not only without waters. we are here in the center, but also without power. and crucially, without mobile phone connection, i think in terms of morale and people's sense of how well they can deal with that is seemingly the biggest problem when people can't find out information outside, can't make sure their friends and family are safe. and as other question of how long ukraine keep rolling with his punches and rebuilding after every russian

attack, we've heard from your thought is here that they are now fully dependent on international support for spare parts. their entire stock of spare parts is now gone. you said there was european delegation in town to address exactly this topic of energy supply. and they were witnessed this attack on ukraine. spent lots of the day in air raid shelters, or i spoke to germany's state minister for european affairs. let's have as to what should say as it contains clear pollution once ukraine to sink into cold and darkness this winter ukrainians are facing up to all their sinus with great bravery . and we're here to help them meet these challenges. not just with words, but also action. and i'm here with an additional 55000000 years worth of support, including generate is which will reach ukraine in the next few days. and con nick, these attacks on ukraine's vital infrastructure. they are apparently intended to weaken morale and break the will of the ukrainian people. is that strategy working

think for now it seems to be back firing. i mean has be said winter, real winters, you can see behind me has only kind of just reach us in the last week or so before that we had an abnormally warm autumn. so all these kind of threats, all these scenarios didn't seem very real, but definitely this is a kind of way of waging war because rushes, you know, basically doing so badly on the battlefield that has engaged the whole country in this effort. there's no wearing ukraine that is basically is safe from these attack . so all the country feeling this and kind of re energize if they need to be in terms of what's happening to this country on battlefields to the south and east of ukraine. angle to internationally. we're seeing a lot more support people, maybe he was zoning out of his conflict after months of news that seemed a bit similar to them. those images of civilians now basically surviving without power, without water in high rise apartments, unable to start a fire, he put a generator anywhere that is really cutting through and putting pressure on western governments, especially to up their support. but yes, this is going to get very, very nasty and very, very difficult students before he gets better. spring temperatures are only really

expected in kind of april sat still for 5 months of really desperate situation for people here on the ground. and there is expectation that some people may be who have come back in recent months when it seemed like things were stabilizing, might decide that it's time to go again to sit this winter out somewhere in the warm, in safety, in the e, for instance. but for now i don't see any panic, i don't see a sense that ukrainians feel like cutting some kind of deal at rushes terms. that is not something you're seeing and people have be energized by the success isn't about to feel it gets on. and if anything, it's main people just angrier and more determined to not give in to this what we're, what is essentially russian blackmail. nick, thank you so much. is always our correspondent, nick conley in chief. russia's ambassador to the un has hit packed at president lin skis, comments vasily, and have been sierra 1st responded by complaining that it was a guest counsel rules for him to appear by a video. he also shrugged off charges that russia was trying to weaponized winter

instead accusing ukraine of firing air defense missiles into civilian areas itself and causing damage to energy infrastructure. we are conducting strikes with precision weapons against an energy and other infrastructure which is used for the purposes of military supplies. the ukrainian units with western weapons, ensuring logistical support and communication with ukrainian military units. russia simply denies that it's doing anything wrong in ukraine and can veto any security council motion. so doesn't really matter what other members of security council have to say about the war and put that question to the w russian analyst konstantin. exit. well, from the point of view, russia, as you rightly said, it doesn't matter, although frankly speaking, since the soviet days, the earlier, the, the russian than, sorry, to the russian gotten paid a lot of attention to what is actually being said. because it is still

a bit sensitive about its image. however, your rights are basically let's, let's face this blatant lying by ambassador my senior benzo. ah, in new york, it is definitely a preparation for full scale veto and her in a sense this highlights, the powerlessness of our, the un are in such circumstances, indicate in actually a very clear cut case of one country's aggression against the other. it can do nothing. russia's ambassador to the un said moscow doesn't see any willingness from ukraine to achieve peace. but what about russia? does moscow have any in any interest in ending this war? constantine, through any means other than conquest. our friend is from this very good question because on the one hand, it's clear that futons conquest is not going to happen. on the other hand,

it's also clear the put and wants to weaken the ukraine, destroys much or ukraine as he can as a precondition in the sense to any kind of conversation with kim. we keep hearing news that here and there, russian and ukrainian representatives are meeting to, let's say, agree on yet another prisoner exchange, but nothing more than that actually happened so far. and that seems that there is not much wellings in care of to engage with moscow on any kind of cease fire, appease deal. i think here a lot depends on ukraine. but on the other hand, my feeling is that with this wall going pretty much nowhere. and term in terms of conquest of new territories, probably eventually put in would like to talk. and we had some west media reports that russians indicate certain desire to talk to cave. but of course, always, it's always the same on moscow's terms. and this is something that i do nothing. the grain government, the grain leadership, will accept. constantine. thank you so much. as always are russia analyst

constantine a. got take a look at some of the stories making news round the world today. china says new cases of covered 19 infections have reached 31000 nationwide. that's a record that has prompted authorities to impose targeted, locked downs and closures in almost all major cities. trying to 0 covered policy has been under intense pressure in recent weeks, as case number's absurd. malaysia's king has sworn in opposition leader anwar ibrahim. as the countries knew, prime minister and wars central f coalition, won the most seats in salaries general election, but not an outright majority prompting the monarch's intervention. brazil's election authority has rejected a request by outgoing present valuable scenarios, the liberal party to review the results of last month rental. the party was seeking to a knoll most of the ballots cast on electronic voting machines. in

a bid to overturn the election, the court imposed a fine of about 4000000 euros for filing what it called a bizarre request in bad faith. the humans, human rights body is debating whether to launch an investigation into iran's brutal crack down against a 2 month old anti regime protest. iranian government slammed the meeting, saying western sanctions bah behind it lacked the moral credibility to preach to others on human rights. the head of the un human rights council said 14000 people, including children, have been detained by security forces during 2 months of protests. the meeting was called at the request of germany and iceland. here's german foreign minister emily in about bach. that is wise, we are now proposing met an independent and impartial un mechanism to be established to investigate these human rights violations, so that those responsible can be hold accountable because

impunity prevents justice. justice for sisters, justice for sons justice from others. they have names. gina, i do fidel me new to days about them to days old. so test of our courage here in the united nations about our courage to speak out. morris spoke earlier to lucy mc kernan with human rights watch. she's a deputy director for united nations responsible for advocacy of that and job i asked her if her rounds crackdown on protesters warranted a you an investigation yeah, absolutely. and we strongly support the coal for an investigation. and we just heard today at the human rights council here,

the special record to on the situation in iran describe the possibility of accountability within iran as structural impunity. he described how the judiciary was not independence, how the laws don't comply with international human rights standards. and so it's impossible to get an impartial investigation at the domestic level. therefore, we think the international community needs to step in with an international investigation. and that's what we want to see. human rights council due today. how support is there at the un for an investigation into human rights violations in iran? well, we heard today that the special session itself was supported by $51.00, ask states, which is a great sign. and we've heard a lot of statements today condemning the situation and the brutal crack down on purchase is in iran. i will have to see what happens when the resolution is presented at the end of the special session and how many members of the human rights council support it. but where i'm confident it will quietly confident that

it will pass, even if a mandate for an investigation is granted though, what difference would it make for the people in iraq presumably around government is not going to support that investigation? that's true, especially supporter on iran, which has been in existence for a number of years has never had the cooperation of the government of iran. so we don't expect that iran would support and cooperate with an investigation established now by the counsel. ah, however, we know, you know, that that's not an uncommon situation. there are many mechanisms established by the human rights council where the country concerned does not operate other examples being myanmar and north korea and so on. so there are other ways of course of doing these sorts of investigations, remote investigations. so speaking to witnesses and victims remotely. and of course, using information that's available publicly on social media and lots of videos for

the photographs. testimonies, which of course need to be verified can be used to, to do criminal investigations. and the key here, of course, is that this would be an impartial, winning debate independent investigation. and so give it a great deal of credibility to an investigation by the you and could still shed light on the human rights situation there. but what can the international community actually do to support those in iran who are demanding their basic rights? well, i think the international community can call and sessions like we've seen today and publicly express their condemnation of the human rights violations that are ongoing iran. i think we can underestimate the, the, how showing that sort of so, so a guarantee to the purchases on the ground can help them give them a sense of support from outside of the country at a time when they're facing this fertile, crept down. importantly, also,

i think the international community, of course, can offer a century to those who are fleeing the fusion in iran. and finally, if this investigation is established today by the human rights council, this fact finding mission, it'll be important that states then ensure that the fact finding me, she has the resources to carry out its work and to support it in that way. ms. buchanan. thank you very much for talking with us. i was lucy meconium with human rights watch in geneva. now to indonesia were rescue operations or continuing following mondays. earthquake officials say at least $271.00. people were killed in the $5.00 magnitude event that hit the island of west java. heavy machinery and rescue workers are working around the clock put on day for the operation. hopes of funding, survivors are fading. some remote areas are still unreachable. officials say at least 40 people are missing. this earthquake has been the deadliest and indonesia

since a 2018 tremor. and so nami, that killed more than 4000 d w's, sharon simon long is at a hospital in the quake zone. sure. and i know the quake left many people injured. what are you seeing at the hospital where you are? yeah, right now, i'm still at the hospital. it's in science hospital in t unsure. i can say that the situation is under control, but lots of things are still going on. for example, on my right. as you can see, this tend is accommodating the patients on critical condition. you can see ventilate jurors. you can see oxygen's. all of these medical supplies that they actually a few days ago these patients were inside the building. but since it's still not possible to be in there with the aftershocks that keep on a curing, they have to be treated there. and in my left right now,

this is the tent where the victims of the earthquakes are being treated and given proper medication. you can see there are taking rest. now these are one family that has to be treated altogether here and attend an information that i get. those were here in the tant, they are suffering a mild injury. and, and many of them have been referred to other hospital to be kitten, a more serious awe operation. and for example, in this bed, as you can see, this daughters, they are taking care of their mothers right now. your film did mean to interrupt you there. i understand the search and rescue mission is ongoing. what can you tell us about that mission? yeah. rescue mission is still a priority. with 6 thousands personnel hath been deployed as a joint efforts between the police military and the rescued team. but one personally just told me that it's still very difficult, you know,

do duty evacuation because of the heavy rain keeps on pouring every day that hampers the evacuation process. but despite all of this difficult circumstances, they still pulled their best efforts to find the remaining victims. sure, thank you very much for that. we're sure and zoom along talking to us from the quite zone in west jo. ah, well, stay 5 of the men's soccer world cup in cutter and we already have a result, breelle and bolo, aaron switzerland, a narrow one mill, victory over cameroon. in the days opening gang former bonus league, forward and bullet struck what proved to be the winner of 3 minutes after halftime, but keeping to a promise he made before the game, and bolo did not celebrate, scoring against the country of his birth. on wednesday, japan methodist studying come back to shock a germany to one, and that has made waves back home in the asian country with fans celebrating into

the early hours. it's the 2nd big shock of the tournament after saudi arabia's when over argentina, japan's when has been dubbed the miracle of dough hall. and there are now calls for a national holiday a to one week tween that wasn't quite expected in japan. and the fans came running out to the streets of tokyo to celebrate, oh, they're still lord, come, we'll definitely when our next match against costa rica, typical because of a sudden yes, they will not. i want them to break through the group stage and aim for the trophy . ah, japan 13 the blue summer i beat germany. the full time woke up champions. the game turned around and the 2nd half as japan scored to late goals. both came from players who play for wonderfully got clubs in germany was o'connell short. of course the win over germany is very important,

but since the team's goal is to make it to the semi finals, the next match is really important going on. so i hope they'll reset themselves and prepare for the next one. it's not he said to some other than what i got about them a while the team does that in doha fans can't wait for japan's next match against costa rica. are we ready to make it to the final for any other game of that group? spain destroyed cost, reagan, 7 nil, putting them and japan in a strong position to reach the last 16 earlier. our sports correspond at jonathan harding in doha, told us what the results mean, fort germany's chances or nothing good. i think if your toughest opponent is going to win 70 turf and he puts germany in a tough spot, the, the biggest issue for germany now is that on the day that they play spain to plan pay play costa rica earlier on and of japan when not that germany know that they absolutely have to win, or they'll be going home and facing a worse woke up than in russia, which is hard to believe. but that's where we're at with this germany team right

now. the, the b is jonathan harding, reporting there from cutter. thou to the hills of hollywood and steven spielberg is one of the world's most prolific and versatile filmmakers. his output, his range from science fiction, and adventure, to historical dramas, and even musicals. and he is a pioneer of the blockbuster, but his latest offering is his most intimate and personal. yet, the fable muns a mirrors, the directors upbringing, an early passion for filmmaking, and it's been released across the u. s. in time for today's thanksgiving holiday. the greatest show on earth is 1952 and it's the 1st film, 6 year old. sammy fable man has ever seen it changes his life and instills. in him and love of cinema is one of many episodes writer and director steven spielberg lifted directly from his own childhood. i simply wonder this to be a coming of age story. that that takes,

story. cuz the story is about family, it's about parents, it's about siblings. it's about bullying. it's about the things that the good and bad things that happen when you're growing up. sammy's brushes with anti semitic bullying in high school. we're also inspired by spielberg's experiences. the aspects of my, my jewish existence is just it is part of the dna. it's, it just goes, goes without much comment. it just, that's how we grow up. the boy yang is just a up. it's a doesn't to find me in a doesn't to find my life. but it's certainly something that happened to me. i wanted to tell that story because it did result in a lot of my own awareness of anti semitism which led to other films about and it's a british of life made in my life. the fable meant this. steven spielberg's love letter to filmmaking and to the family that raised him at the toronto film festival and him a standing ovation, and is being touted for the best picture. oscar. you do with your heart since you
