ah ah ah ah! because his dw news live from upper left, russia stands accused of crimes against humanity and trying to freeze ukraine into submission. president lensky urges the united nations to condemn what he calls moscow's energy terror. russia's latest missiles strikes, knockout heating, power, and water supplies. also coming up on the shout,

the united nations launches an investigation into iran, crack down on protests where descent is costing people their lives. and in the world cup they are calling it the miracle of doha. japan, to one surprise when over germany sends spans spilling onto the streets and even brings calls for a national holiday. ah . hello, i'm clear, richardson. thank you so much for joining us. ukraine's president holiday mer zalinski is urging the united nations to back a resolution condemning what he calls energy terror. russia has won fresh rocket attacks against the ukrainian energy grid, which soleski is calling crimes against humanity. russian missiles have killed at least 7 people and knocked out power nationwide. and blackouts have also hit

neighboring moldova. this latest russian air assaults was brutal, devastating, and wide spread. little remains on this street enriched garad, a town on the outskirts of keys, which took a direct hits. those who call this place home left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. some 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. probably some clothes with today was the scariest name. it was very loud and terrifying. you could hear the strikes so many wake them so many houses ruined. people have nowhere to live. no

where to sleep. it's cold. i can't explain it. what foam 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 in the cap or so many have lost power. and the cities 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 will to act owing me, their cd. what russia wants to achieve with such strike should not cause confusion anywhere in the world of him. older and energy terror or is comparable to the use of weapons of mass destruction. we must aura when the temperature is below 0

outside and his hens of millions of people are left without electricity. i never cease give her heat some water hub. yeah. as a result of russians miss all their hitting energy facility of sa beth woody. this is an obvious crime against humanity rode the 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 earlier, did these ne connelly told me how people in key of our coping after these latest attacks. okay. as you can, might be able to see it is very cold in here. we basically had an abnormally warm autumn that went on and on and on, on kind of all these discussions, all these threats, even the 1st russian attacks. they somehow didn't hit home quite as strongly as that has been the case over the last week. and especially since yesterday, because babies basically people could cope quite well without heating even with our

lectures. he was bearable. that is definitely different. now the snow is here and it looks like it's gonna stay at least in care of in, in northern regions. this was steve, you sets of scale the 1st time that all of ukraine's new capacity patients, including the ones on ukraine control, turkey, had to automatically switch themselves off from the grid. disconnect themselves for safety reasons. and as we believe now, the national grid basically disintegrated into lots of regional grids. there was no connectivity for quite some while, because so much from structure had been here. russia sending 70 cruise missiles it ukraine, 50 or so knocked out of the sky. but at least 20 reached their targets. and there is a sense now that now increasingly, these are gonna get worse in terms of the, the time that ukraine left without power, without water. and every time its gate take longer to repair and that ukraine is now busy running out of the kind of spare parts needed to make this all work. and yeah, without parts, without money from outside, basically isn't in a state any more to keep this going. but there is extra and extraordinarily levels

of resilience in this kind of image is doing rounds on social media of tramps being pulled by tractors, all kinds of kind of on standard kind of solutions. and no real sense yet the people are kind of giving up or resigned to this. the resilience among the cranium people. and is the ukranian government also getting enough support from its western allies? well, there's definitely a lot of criticism here in ukraine about western promises, especially european promises on aid money, especially being promised to net not reaching ukraine on anything like the time scale promised it foreign portions coming here, promising money. and then, you know, having their photo up and going home again. and there is also lots of, i think, for the justified anger about the can levels of finance coming from european countries compared to the u. s. just, you know, think about this up. told me the last kind of major run of statistics. the european union i, the battery or through the e had given just about 55 percent as much aid to ukraine as the us even the discovery on europe's doorstep. there is money coming. extra funding from germany

and other countries, but still the numbers are pretty modest if you compare it to the kind of money being spent on covered relief in the u. and in the sense here in ukraine that you know, you're being countries have to up their game unless they want to see hundreds of thousands of maybe millions of new refugees arriving in their doorsteps. if your life becomes unbearable over this winter, you have to have that there still could be talked between russia and ukraine to put an end to all of this attacks like these, what impact do they have on potential peace negotiations? what on one hand, we have very tough rhetoric coming from prisons, lensky from the government here. and we've had foreign leaders basically accusing russia of state sponsored terrorism of these attacks on infrastructure that is directly civilian and has nothing to do with ukraine's military in its ability to fight directly says if we're talking of the line there and seemingly no real potential for any kind of serious political talks anytime soon. on the other hand, we just had news that there are talks going on between russia and ukraine in the united arab emirates, that they're talking about prisoner exchanges and also potentially reopening

a pipeline that brings basically the kind of chemistry, the kind of products needed for fertilizers, so crucial for performance across the world have really been struggling with without those russian fertilizers. so kind of the car tantalizing prospect that for all this kind of escalation, basically here in ukraine. incredible loss of life on the battlefield. that there is still some kind of communication going on and that at least people who are taken prisoner here on about of his ukraine, i have a pretty good chance of getting home earlier than any one really would have thought possible. thank you very much at update that our correspondent nick connelly reporting from keith and even as russian missiles rain down on ukrainian cities, the bitter fighting on the front lines continues in the south. ukraine's military is digging in and reinforcing its trenches and anticipation of a renewed russian offensive. it's cold and wet in the trenches dug by ukrainian soldiers. faraday shows as his position a tunnel system,

made of planks, dirt walls and cement. bunkers frontline soldiers could fall back here if necessary. hollinger frontal mortar woodrow, this could be the new front line or any moment. not sure, that's why we need these lines of defense everywhere. and, you know, we're on this can, you can't underestimate the enemy, missouri landlord, seniority water. the soldiers are convinced that the russians who pulled out of southern ukraine are joining the battle in the dawn asked region where ukraine says the fighting is most intense. that means it's time to reinforce, the trenches will just come are now we had to improve them for poacher. the earth becomes loose. every time it rains your wards, marlboro were putting down new wooden planks, and strengthening the whole construction room off to one position at a time or

a door to door. authority says he wants to wait for the russian troops to come and fight for his children and his family. a few kilometers away, florida is unit, has its headquarters. 3 meters below the ground. 8 men and a dog sleepier is his leaking water and mud trip to the ceiling. sometimes there's electricity, internet, and even news from outside. for example, about the latest russian airstrikes is we feel still some were me. so i'm from a city that was bomb today of blue. they hit a maternity ward. oh, we don't feel anything any more. both. no fear is throttling miserable. no pity him . dmitri says they've held this position since the summer keeping watch in the trenches and sleeping in the bunker all the while keeping close contact with the front line. oh, look up this little stoneham shall see the situation there is still difficult. we

could drop, we're taking losses just like our enemy with them, but we can't pull back from our position. aluminum or m. royal's, the lord. as long as the war goes on, or until other orders come, they want to stay here. they say they're waiting under ground. meanwhile, poland is asking germany to send patriot anti missile systems intended for the polish armed forces to ukraine. instead, germany proposed sending the weapons to poland after 2 poles were killed by a stray ukrainian missile. and war saw initially did welcome the offer, but now says the u. s. made patriots should go to ukraine instead. he of course, has reacted with enthusiasm. a germany's defense minister has poured cold water on the idea as, as one speech dish. it's important to us that poland can rely on allies standing by each other, even when in difficult times arguer, and especially poland in its exposed position. you own justice. that was why we

offered support with air defenses and patriot missiles had to be of these patriots a pot of nato's air defense. i let that means they are intended for nato territory and if they are deployed elsewhere, that has to be discussed in advance at that. and on most us for here, mid donato on min, aliya can visual invent. i asked, do you have the political course on it, matthew, more for more about how pollings request is being received in berlin. feeling here is that paula does kind of playing politics with this issue. you mean, this would be a huge escalation. the patriot missile defense system is a neato and it's part of a neat all integrated defense system, as we heard. and it would involve essentially, liter, for the 1st time in this war. walking collectively and grunting defense, and bringing ukraine into ne twos to defend system. for the 1st time, we as we had berlin believes this would be a decision for me to. i like to discuss m among each other and,

and it's not really a decision for berlin to take unilaterally. so there's a feeling here that poland has been quite cute by appearing to kind of, to throw this back to it, to germany, to say that, that we could give this to you credence. and so it's not more than 2. well, the thing to see is that a public rift on this issue playing are among nato members. i'm actually, we're now 9 months in the war in ukraine. i was gonna ask you, if there is still disagreement among nato members on whether to send more weapons to ukraine. yeah, didn't the definitely this to the disagreements and as you there the feeling is that these disagreement should be, should be aired and private as disagreements over whether you st. heavy weaponry, pan panza and, you know, tanks, et cetera. but over this issue, it's quite specific. it's because for, for, for 9 months or for in recent months, you need to highlight of acted independently to send and high tech defense massage systems. but again, with the patriots, that would be something quite different. and there's

a fear here that by having this discussion in public, and this is what i think, am bothered, the german defense minister today. and the estonian defense minister to said we shouldn't be having these discussions in public. we should be, we should be discussing this privately and doing so in public essentially, hans power and to russia to vladimir putin, as well as to william defense minister said m. so yet there are disagreements of course, but the feeling is that they should not be broadcast and aired, sought to openly as the r m of as was seen with this case. ok, thank you very much. that did any political course on it, matthew, more for us. let's bring you up to speed now. it's another world. news headlines. russia that state ex atomic energy company is backing a plant protection zone around ukraine's operation nuclear power plant. the proposal comes from the international atomic energy agency. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for shelling at the facility. a later king has sworn in the

former opposition leader on him as the new prime minister. and more center left coalition won the most seat in the election, but not an outright majority. brazil's election authority has rejected a call from outgoing president viable narrows party to review the presidential election run off. officials say the party did not present any evidence to support the claim of electoral fraud. and kosovo and service have reached a last minute deal and a dispute over vehicle license plates. kosovo wanted to find ethnic serv, drivers. or you think serbian issued plates negotiators in brussels agreed on measures to avoid the route escalating and the united nations has decided to investigate iran. suppression of protests that are now in their 3rd month. activists are still turning out despite security forces using deadly force. demonstrations broke out after the death and custody of a 22 year old woman,

but have since expanded into wider and i government protests. the one who in right counsel estimate 14000 people have been detained with get more on that from did of the political correspondent thomas spirit home is good to see you there. german foreign minister and i lena bear ball has been previously criticized for being silent for too long over the protest in iran. is this investigation now a win for her? it can certainly be interpreted in that way and that is how german officials are certainly presenting it this has to do with the fact that germany was one of the countries that had pushed forward for this initiative for this discussion. also in the un human rights council, which and that's important to stress, is the key inter governmental forum within the united nation system, dealing precisely with human rights around the world. germany had intended for this to happen also for this resolution to pass. and what's also relevant is the fact

that germany had wanted also this fact finding mission, which is also part of the resolution. it was not clear whether that fact finding mission would, would be part of the resolution. in fact, there were countries like china that her tried to present amendments to that claim to block that fact finding mission. but in the end, the resolution passed with the fact finding mission. so it can be seen as a good day for german foreign policy in particular, if you're judged by german priorities on this matter. so now with that, that has remained and how could this fact finding mission actually work without having people there on the ground in her on it is certainly see now as the main challenge. how to implement that fact finding mission. it is seen 1st and foremost as a step towards accountability and away, which that can happen if you're judged by what has been discussed in the un human rights council is by supporting, for instance, the job that is already being done by the un special rapport term on the situation of human rights in iran. but beyond that,

it is clear that this is an important challenge. how this will go from the words that we saw today from the resolution that we saw today to actually bringing those facts about potential human rights violations in iran. in particular, when you look at, for example, some of the countries that were against that including not surprisingly, iran, the radiant authors already saying that they wouldn't allow such a fact finding mission. so there will be challenges moving forward. but all in all, it is an important step towards finding accountability. and that's the way that german authorities have also presented this move. and looking more closely at germany's role in finding accountability to think germany has more leverage to support demonstrators and iran, especially the women who are out in the streets. well, this is one example of how germany could have a leverage. for example, in these kinds of international fora. and it's also something that, by the way, seen here in german streets, i've been covering several approaches in support of those were protesting in iran.

and one of the arguments that had been presented during those protests here in germany. was specifically for this fact finding mission. so i do see that the move by germany in particular by germany is foreign ministry to have this resolution. and this discussion in geneva will be accepted, will be positively accepted by segments of the german population that have been following very closely. what is happening in iraq? thank you so much for that update that is at thomas barrow for us there. well hopes of finding more survivors of an earthquake and indonesia are fading. more than 270 people have been killed on the island of java. rescuers are now focused on a landslide, where dozens are thought to be trapped. but some remote areas that remain unreachable. are correspondent sharon's from a long visit at a hospital in one of the worst hit areas and she sent us this update. i'm at the

science hospital in te unsure. and i can see that the situation is under control. but lots of thing are still going on, ambulance keep coming from time to time, even though it's not as hectic as today's earlier here inside the stand, it's where the casualties of the earthquake are being treated and given proper medication. durst taking rest right now and the information that i got from the doctor, they suffer from malik injuries. and also, and this tend on my ride is, is where the patience on critical conditions are being treated. as you can see, there have been 2 liters, oxygens and all of this medical supplies. they were actually a few days ago inside of the hospital building. but since it's still very dangerous and dead, they cannot stay inside. they have to be brought outside and being treated there regarding to the rescue. mission is so a priority here of 6000 personal hath been deployed as a joint efforts between the male tree. 2 belize and the rescue teams, although it's so difficult you know,

to do evacuation because of the heavy rain. it keeps on pouring that to go. so landslide and the narrowing odd time window to find the casualties. um that creates a very challenging and dangerous environment for the evacuation efforts. but despite this circumstance is the evacuation team a keep on pulling their best efforts to find the remaining victims. her chance him along reporting their while they identified the omicron variance of covered 19 and immediately raise the alarm. but instead of being praised, the african scientist behind the discovery found themselves scapegoats on the receiving end of travel bands and death. threats. the botswana harvard aids institute is one of the leading h i v research institutions on the continent with some of the best virology tests including sickle leila model. when the pandemic hit morrow and his team turned

their focus from sequencing h. i v to cove it and in november 2021, they made an unusual discovery, a new pattern with a high amount of mutations, the omicron variant. they reported it immediately. i think susan did a lot of potential maybe infections. ah, the only unfortunate reaction was within a few hours few days that many countries in southern africa were flip is that almost 2 years into the pandemic. the world once again went on full alert, borders were closed flights to southern africa, cancelled. and suddenly those who discovered it became scapegoats even receiving death threats. a lot of people say you scientists have big mouths look what you have done. and it was very uncomfortable. a few hours after it was discovered in botswana, scientists here in south africa, sequenced it to,

to leo to olivia was one of my oldest ph. d supervises. now they closely collaborate on their research. that's what this from them. it showed that the african can become a scientific leader on, on, on the pandemic response which surprised many countries in the world but, but, but did not surprise us because that's big investments that we have been doing. especially people, but also in big lads and equipment for the past 20th to olivia is one of the leading scientists in the field of viral outbreaks and is also from the global south. what surprised him was how busy the north was with itself during the pandemic. and effective air travel bands. so i think that was very, very, very said how there would they had a chance to respond to a global problem. and they decided to respond with an nationalistic approach which didn't help. despite these challenges, moya, unto olivia continue their work,

proving that leading medical research is also done in africa. and the europe can learn lessons from the continent. ah, well, it's day 5 of the football world cup and guitar and switzerland have edged cameroon, won nel braille, and bolo score the only goal and sharing it was a former binders legal player, rather than a current one. who wrapped the headlines ah, now and proud. this is cameron's 8th who had cut appearance and it started on the right footing camera room where the more dangerous side at east than the 1st half by and the next try to eric maxine chup all morning we have been red hot for by and the season has several good chances, but he was unable to replicate his cup success today. but one excellent as we go play a did. former chalka and napa who would read em buelo broke the deadlock. a subdued celebration from the 25 year old who was born in cameroon,

before relocating to switzerland, switzerland nearly added a 2nd. go late on in the end, one gold proved enough for them in the fans with em bowl or the difference maker. and japan staged a stunning come back to beat germany to one. and the surprise victory made waves for the winners back home. fans are dumbing at the miracle in doha. and there are even 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 the bridge. oh, there's still more to come. we'll definitely when our next match against costa rica, it's difficult because with her, yes, they will not miss. i want them to break through the group stage and aim for the trophy. oh,

japan teen 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 golds. both came from players who play for bundis league clubs in germany was a corner shorter. 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 start, he said to us about about the what i got to look them up 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 4 o. o. o, today is also thanksgiving. the biggest holiday in the united states. after 2 years of disruption this year, it's incredible volumes get back to normal and even beyond. several airlines are expecting their busiest day since before the pandemic. and the american automobile
