ah ah ah ah, this is the w news coming to you live from berlin, russia accused of trying to freeze ukraine into submission. president zalinski urges 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 out 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 home. japan's $21.00 short defeat of germany since ban spilling onto the streets and prompts calls for a national holiday. ah . hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us ukraine's president below them is zalinski has urged the united nations to back a resolution condemning what he called energy terror. his plea came after russia launched a new wave of rocket attacks against ukraine's beleagured 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 assault 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's no electricity and no water and no sign that russia is going to stop any time soon with some pulls with you today with the scariest name,

it was very loud and terrifying. you could hear the strikes so many wicked m, so many houses ruined. people have nowhere to live, no went to sleep. it's cold. i can't explain it. what foam we are also human beings . around 70 missiles were lodged by russia. this time around reeking more damage on ukraine's already crippled energy system. have in the cap, 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, a 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. ali need their cd. what russia wants to achieve with such strikes should not cause confusion anywhere in the world like him older and energy

. tara is comparable to the use of weapons of mass destruction. we muscle rough when the temperature is below saver outside, and his hens of millions of people are left without electricity. i never cease give her heat some water hubby as a result of russians miss all that hitting energy facility of sla beth woody. this is an obvious crime against humanity. broadly, lou jaylish, president 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 economy, 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 have been seeing enough the last can a month, month and a half. and this is one of the biggest in terms of its impact. but 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, at least here in care of which of the privilege place, most supplies would come back on within a matter of hours may be the next morning, or you to 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 here in key of yet how they should act, what they should expect. lots of bots of kids are not only without waters, we are here in the center, but also with that power. and crucially, without mobile phone connection, i think in terms of morale, in 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 there's other question of how long you crank keep rolling with these punches and rebuilding off every russian

attack. we've heard from the authorities 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 witness to this attack on ukraine. spent lots of the day in air raid shelters or i spoke to germany's state minister for european affairs this. let's have as to what you'd say. as i can say, it's clear to him once he crane to sink into cold and darkness this winter ukrainians are facing up to all this on us with great bravery. and we're here to help them meet these challenges. not just with words, but also action that i'm here with an additional $55000000.00 euros worth of support, including generate is which will reach ukraine in the next few days. and calm nick these attack, sonya cranes vital infrastructure. they are apparently intended to weaken morale and break the will of ukrainian people. is that strategy working?

think for now it seems c backfiring. i mean has the said winter real winter, as you can see behind me has only kind of just reached 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 battlefield, to the south and east of ukraine. i think also internationally, we're seeing a lot more support people may be who 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, you know, start a fire, you know, put a generator anywhere that is really cutting through and putting pressure on western government, especially to up their support. but yes, this is going to get very, very nasty and very, very difficult settings before it gets better. spring temperatures are only really expected in kind of april that still for 5 months of really desperate situation for

the 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 is all about to feel it gets on. and if they think 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 connelly in chief russia's ambassador to the un has his pack at present. so lensky comments vasily nor ben sir, 1st responded by complaining that it was against council rules for him to appear by a video. he also shrugged off charges that russia was trying to weapon eyes 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 suppliers, the ukrainian units with western weapons, ensuring logistical support and communication with ukrainian military units. so russia deny is that it's doing anything wrong in ukraine and can veto any security council motion. so doesn't really matter what other members of the security council have to say about the war. i put that question to d. w's, russia, analyst, constantine, 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 have a 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 banga 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 very clear cut case of one countries aggression against the other. it can do nothing. russia's ambassadors, 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. ob fridays from this very good question. because on the one hand, it's clear that prudence conquest is not going to happen. all 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 or any kind of cease fire, appease deal. i think here l lot depends on ukraine. but on the other hand, my feeling is that with this wall going pretty much nowhere 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 to catch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. malaysia's king has sworn in opposition leader onward ibrahim, as the country's new prime minister on wars central f coalition, won the most seats and sundays general election, but not an outright majority prompting the monarch's intervention. brazil's election authority has rejected a request by outgoing president shire both nora's liberal party to review the results of last month's ronald. the party was seeking to unknown most of the ballots cast on electronic voting machines. in a bid to overturn the election, the court imposed a fire of about 4000000 euros for filing what it called a bazaar request in bad faith. the un human rights body is debating whether to launch an investigation into iran's brutal crack down against a 2 month old anti regime protest. the iranian government slammed the meeting,

saying western nations behind lack the moral credibility to preach to others on human rights caused the head of human 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 at iceland. here's german, foreign minister only in about walk. that is wise, we are now proposing that 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 says does justice for son justice for my this. they have names gina, i do fidel,

me new today's about them. today's also test of our courage here in the united nations. about our courage to speak out earlier i spoke with lucy mccurry and she's with human rights watch shows. she's the deputy director for united nations responsible for advocacy there. i asked her if you're rounds crackdown on protesters warrants, are 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 rapport 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 do today. post support is there at the u. n. for an investigation into human rights violations in iran. well, we heard today that the special session itself was supported by $51.00 at states, which is a great sign. and we've heard a lot of statements to day and 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. the special apple to on iran, which has been in existence for a number of years,

has never had the corporation 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 yamaha 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. i need to be independent investigation and so give it a great deal of credibility to an investigation. bother 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 to day and publicly express their condemnation of the human rights violations that are ongoing in iran. i think we can underestimate the, the how showing that sort of solid solidarity to the purchase is on the ground can help and give them a sense of support from outside of the country at a time when they're facing this fertile crackdown. importantly, also, i think the international community, of course, can offer a century to those who are fleeing the persecution in iran. and finally, if this investigation is established today by the human rights council, this fact finding mission isn't it'll be important that states then ensure that the fac, funny me, she has the resources to carry out its work and to support it in that way. ms.
