ne pro river d w's. ukraine corresponded. nick connelly has more on the latest attacks in household i think after the initial period of euphoria here, ukraine about kits on returning to ukraine control. many people have seen those images of people out with a ukranian flags on the streets. of course, on meeting the crane soldiers getting autographs, taking selfies. i think the route is now heading home to the russians still are not very far away. they are across the other side of nipper if it's a wide river, but still definitely within range of artillery fire. there is no way in fits on that is safe from those artillery pieces that are just a handful of commerce away when we were there just a few days ago we went to was the river to the bridge that the russians blew up when they left had san and within a few minutes, most arriving obviously they had seen us. there was some artery fire in our direction, maybe just to warn us. but if there is no sense of safety, some kind of finality focus on getting back to normal life. the strange thing is

that locals there for the most part, didn't seem phased by. they had been living with this for the last 89 months. and as such, you know, they boobs wasn't a sense. people going to take this chance to get out. now that the cities back in ukraine control, it said you had people coming back to his own choosing to move closer to the russian fire. that may now change. but it definitely is a very dangerous place to live and people there are without power, without heat. and now with these constant artillery attacks, bizarre tax living in a very dangerous place. indeed, i understand that ukrainian troops are busy in the dull nest region trying to stop russian advances the air. what do you know about that nic? well, that's been the new focus now in recent days of see russia has taken all of troops out of concerning the south of ukraine, left some along the ne peru, but moved, as we have seen, from images from satellites come social media content more in the way of tech and people to do this to the east, misty button,

which is where the kind of most intense fighting is now really awful images on social media of phosphorus, bombs being used by the russians of the kind of a weapons. it's not really yet deemed part of normal conventional warfare playing by the rules as it were. but the thing is that that is where fighting has been going on since 2014. that was the dumbass conflict that happened. yeah, that was going on for 8 years before this phase, the war began in february. and as such, there are very good ukraine defense in that part of the country. there are trenches there, a minefield. so the progress is very, very slow, and there's a feeling right now that russia desperately need some successes. after all these ukranian, you pushed back all the defeats that they have incurred on the battlefield. and so they're throwing basic gun limited manpower and tech at the cranes and vomit f. a. now they're not really making much in the way of headway, but there is and a very intensely lot going on there and feeling henky that may be potentially, there might be some small incremental russian gains in next couple weeks given how much results they're putting out. it, nick, thank you so much. are correspond it. nick connelly in keith these latest attacks

come as ukraine struggles to restore power and water supplies that russian strikes knocked out earlier this week. satellite image is released by nasa, give some idea of the extent of the damage inflicted on ukrainian infrastructure. this is a night time view of eastern ukraine in early february, a few weeks before russia invaded, you can see the ukrainian capital there, circled in blue and the bright spot up there. that's moscow. now compare that to another image taken just yesterday. the 24th of november. as you can see, nighttime key of is barely visible any more. and even though there are no outlines on this image, you can still recognize ukraine's silhouette as the country has been plunged into darkness. here's more on how key of residents are dealing with a difficult situation. ukraine's energy grid is on the brink of collapse.

the capital keith has gone dark authority, say only half the countries energy needs are being met. after the latest russian strikes on ukraine's infrastructure. life once as temperatures plummet, well below freezing authorities have set up thousands of so called invincibility centers. here people can get warm, charged their phones and find hot beverages. a little dublin to my system. it's the 2nd day without power and food. more than 60 children, a waiting for food, and we can't prepare anything unless the pilot gets fixed to be sure that they rushes campaign against ukraine's power grid is seen by many as retaliation for battlefield losses. moscow acknowledges attacking basic infrastructure, saying it's aim is to reduce ukraine's military capabilities and push it to negotiate. cave accuses russia of weapon ising winter and trying to freeze the

country into submission. but rather than breaking ukraine spirit, these attacks of fueling resolve and anger across the country, shook us o blood who losses the way they fight and target civil infrastructure. it can cause nothing but fear of the social on the zillow usually hooted remotely, if they expect us to fall on our knees and crawl to them. so it won't happen at the napa. could you let our windows go dark, but we will not be in russia. this hate to this, for generations to come in. as the snow sets in ukraine remains defiant. but for the millions, now living without power and water, this is only the beginning of a long, dark winter ushers. war of aggression against ukraine has sparked fears and neighboring countries that they too could face a russian invasion in poland. the army is offering military training to civilians,

both young and old, to prepare them for a possible emergency. how to deal with a gunman? wolf, jennifer. this is military training for civilians in warsaw. poland became a frontline state after the russian invasion of ukraine. now demand for this sort of training has been booming. arletta is one participant samantha, she's got to go, so i decided to come here because of the state of the world at the moment. i think it's worth knowing how to act in case of a disaster, which hopefully won't happen to us managers and you know, what got, you know, most people taking part in the free one day polish army course. have no experience with weapons. they want to know how to defend themselves and their country, and i am survival in the field. and firearms training

with the courses are also meant to attract new recruits to pollens volunteer army which is narrow gina, and they will protect the homeland family and loved ones. that is the duty of a soldier to be able to act in such a situation. the whole but that's my big dream. i love it. magical mother? yeah. i gotta is an accountant. my hands keep shaking. she says, she's told she's holding her gun too tightly. she learns basic techniques, but of course it takes more than a one day course to make a civilian into a soldier valuable agreement with weapons training is important in the event of a war voice couple, when people are drafted into the army, looked lonia a scholar cuz we can shorten the time needed for military training. wagner bo, and was m as gucci, touched us school. i know of what school vega, this sort of training is also being offered in some schools. for example,

here in lodge 8th and 9th grade students can now study shooting systems train here with a 5.6 millimeter sporting rifles in my throw, a selection legal knocked english on metro is the, the ammunition is not real. poland education ministry says they should be prepared for the threats that poland could face. the teenagers tell us how it feels to shoot . but can't i just felt free? my head was empty then. oh, i would describe ethic. who else could okay. yeah, because i had to put in a bit, it seems to me that these courses should only be offered to those who are ready for it because of the mental state of children, because not every one is prepared for this. let given interruption got the valid back in warsaw. the adult participants are learning how to throw hand grenades. the most important thing for many of them is to learn how to use weapons. would leave us with these up with an unusually i had the opportunity to learn the ropes and

above all, to learn from the military how to handle things the right way. the way the lieutenant explained it. these are priceless things for me as a civilian luck. emma said, john, i just stand around and wait until they kill or write me. i will shoot them. fears are growing in poland, that the russian war in ukraine could spread. stake a look at a couple of other stories making headlines around the world today. china has reported another record high of daily cove. 19 infections with new cases exceeding 32000 authorities have been posed, fresh locked elms and closures and almost all major cities in line with the countries controversial 0 cobit policy. uganda has closed its schools weeks before the christmas break in response to a surgeon, a bola cases over 50 people have died in the last 2 months since the country declared its worst outbreak of disease. the school closures come,

even as the government claims the situation is under control. 5 days after a deadly earthquake struck indonesia, hopes of finding more survivors are fading. the country's disaster agency now says 310 people have died since the magnitude 5.6 quake hit the islands of java. earlier this week. 24 are still missing. authorities have sent in heavy machinery, helicopters and thousands of personnel in an effort to find any remaining survivors . d, w. sharon sume along has been speaking to survivors on the island. 6 year old ask, i was pulled from the rubble after spending 2 days trapped under debris without food or water. his uncle tells me that he was very quiet when they found him and his still under shock. demuth anita forgotten. jo that again jo, but married he was found in his room bodied buried on the 2nd floor. huh. on the concrete and robin waterbury at a copy,

protected him and saved his life. i love america for 2 days when his father and i had the feeling that aska was definitely still in his room, that a new variable in that feeling was right. if a more than 2000 people were injured in the quake, many of them children who were still at school authorities warned that time was running out for about 40 people who were still missing as rescue workers face dangers. after sharks and tropical rain. tens of thousands of people have been moved to evacuation centers after their houses were destroyed. the challenge now tells me this, psychiatric is to provide not only food and medical help, but to prevent long term psychological damage to bailey any, any, some of them being had. and then the trauma experienced by the victims should not be taken lightly and up some up. and this is just as important as the physical injuries you separately have. it's not visible now, but it will be in a year or 2 and can even cause

a disability. are those affected could be unable to go to work or to go to school promising. get them as cas drama will also need to be addressed. he lost his mother and grandmother in the earthquake west java who need time to come to terms with a true skill of the disaster and money to build as quick resistant infrastructure. something that has so far been largely absent in this densely populated part of indonesia. bear to an issue, the d. w is covering across the day, gender based biles, according to the united nations, every hour 5 women are killed by members of their own family. today is the international day for the elimination of violence against women. the u. n. is launching 16 days of activism aimed at raising awareness of what it says or alarming rates of fam aside, where women or girls are murdered simply because they're female. the un says 45000

women were killed by family members i last year. that's the highest number in asian countries followed by africa. but it's a threat facing women around the world. so many mexican women and young girls suffer sexual harassment on public transport. and in the street every day, many are also subject to course of control from their male partners. activists in one district of mexico city had organized st. patrols to try and raise awareness of these problems. for over a decade, rosario husband controlled every aspect of her life. her finances when she could leave the house, even which clothes she was allowed to wear. the abuse almost drove her to suicide. her story is all too common and mexico were 3 out of 10 women suffer psychological violence. nobody in southeast got them in,

but it even affected my physical appearance at a glower. i didn't care any more how i dress, or if i bathed, because my husband would ask me why i addressed at all why i took a basket. he was very gentle, is me, said lucy. rosario went to an official refuge for survivors of violence in mexico city where she lives. the local government is built 13 of the houses, which have helped over $8000.00 women in the past year alone. but it's not always easy to ask for help. some women are afraid, their neighbors will see them enter a safe space and mark them as victims. this district organizes daily st. patrols to discourage stigmatization and raise awareness of institutions that protect women. the environment is also part of the problem. the authorities of improve street lighting on several main avenues to create safe path for women.

nearly 3 quarters of all harassment and other sex crimes happened in the street and on public transport. almost half of mexican women say the fear of sexual violence has made them stop taking walks, visiting relatives and friends, or even going to school can de assume that they misses them as one man was masturbating right in front of me and rosa, any others brush up against you when they walk past, he put them aside and we can ask for help. but no one does anything, no one austin, nana me by the stacy the one time i became paralyzed with fear. and now i can't take the subway by myself. i'm afraid i could freeze again at any moment. would it bother? violence against women is recurrent and widespread. but rosario is using her voice to fighters. so her 12 year old daughter can live freely this big 30 came with it. was like it's more world news stories now, an american writer has sued donald trump for battery and defamation. under

a new law called the adult survivors act law temporarily allows adult victims to bring claims of sexual assault. years after the attack e gene, carol had 1st made the allegations of rape against trump in 2019 a charge, which the former president has dinner in the con elan months. cuz announced that suspended accounts on twitter will be granted what he calls amnesty starting next week. the social media giants, new c e o has already restored some suspended accounts like that of donald trump. fears over content. moderation at winter have been growing under mosques, tumultuous leadership. most of america, activists here in germany have demonstrated outside the country's amazon headquarters to protest. it's black friday sales. greenpeace has called a mega shopping day, a propellant of the climate crisis, and a waste of resources putting out betters,

reading amazon crime. the activists encouraged me. amazon workers to boycott worked today. delegates that a global summit on trade in endangered species are set to decide whether to back proposal to protect sharks. the motion would add many types of sharks to the convention on international trade in endangered species of wild fauna and flora. the shark initiative is one of the most disgust at this year's summit on panama. but other kinds of wildlife trade are also in the focus. like rhinoceros horns or elephant tusks, hippopotamus teeth apprised his ivory, the jewelry, all nice handles. illegal hunting is already believed to have wiped out hipaa populations in some african countries in response to 10 african nations at the convention in panama, have tabled a proposal for a global trade ban on hippopotamus products. species protection is an urgent

task with scientists warning of the danger of a new period of mass extinction. the last time, such an event happened was 66000000 years ago. ahead of the convention, the e you issued a revised action plan, stepping up its fight against wildlife trafficking. but the brought was sharply criticized roots, rejection of a full commercial ban on hipaa products. other species like laws, frogs, res, be, and sharks were luckier. 60 species of sharks will be shielded by international trade regulations if the decision is signed on friday night. so fast you shock species have been singled out for protection. the animals are hunted for their sins and meat, and are traded internationally. several species are critically endangered, already threatened with extinction, jocks and res plan,

indispensable role in marine ecosystems experts say, a global pact to protect them would boost the health of the world's oceans. but for more of this, let's bring in beatrice christopher o from our environment. dest beatrice, start with the example of sharks in our report, we saw that there is an international effort to protect them, because they're considered important to the ecosystem vital to the ecosystem. some would say, but if they really are so important, why aren't they protected already? and historically, the trade on sharks and raise has been really poorly regulated, and it's mostly been because we have very poor data on it. because international fisheries tend to focus on how to manage species such as tuna. and because those data was missing, we weren't really sure how big the populations were. now the data has gotten better and it's become clear that many of these shark species are at risk of extension extinction because of overfishing. the agreements that are being worked on at this

conference in panam all they're considered important, but will they really have any teeth when it comes to protecting biodiversity? will they make a difference? we have seen several examples of when it did really make a huge difference to have these decisions. so 30 years ago, for example, they banned the international trade on ivory and it really worked well for a very long time where we saw poaching going down. we saw ivory prices going down, but just because something is legally binding to the countries that participate in this conference doesn't necessarily mean it's always going to be respected and that there isn't going to be illegal activity. so for example, with rhino horn, we see that there is still like very alarming rates of poaching going on there. so the frustrating answers, we just have to wait and see. ok. let's take another example, hippos we also saw in our report that the e u does not support a trade ban on hippo ivory. how is that being received in africa?

west african nations are frankly very angry and incredulous that you would stand in a way of a proposal. the could protect the hipaa, which is native to these countries. this is important because the you have really has a huge influence on. it's a very influential voting block at this conference, and it can make or break a decision. in this case, the countries will come out empty handed, probably without an international agreement because of your opposition, which some call hypocritical because that goes against its own action plan to battle. what life trafficking and against recommendations from its own parliament to get the feeling that the window of opportunity for protecting endangered species is closing? is there a sense of real urgency at that conference and among the scientific community? there is a scientific consensus that we should be extremely worried because experts say that we are under 6 mass extinction event. and what's different about this is that it's

not a natural phenomenon, it's human driven. so it's because of the climate crisis because of how we manage our land, our water, and also because of how we trade. so it's really vital that we keep coming back and looking at how our trade affects the species beatrice christopher from our environment, dest. thank you very much. thank you. ah, the men's world cup and cut her gunner took on portugal in group h and christiano. rinaldo dominated the headlines yet again with the historic colon a thrilling win for his team. c r 7 was fighting back his tears while singing the anthem, and what might be his last chance of lifting the world cup after an hour's play portugal were awarded a penalty and there was no question about who would take it. christiano ronaldo with a historic goal as he becomes the 1st ever male player to score and 5 world cups.

however, gone, i was quick to respond. all i took was one past down the left wing and poor portuguese, defending for andre. are you to make the game level? speaking of poor, defending a costly mistake by up the over i'm on baba, left jaw. felix wide open and he reclaimed the lead for portugal. just moments later with gun are still in shock. it was substitute rough, i'll lay out making the score $3.00 to $1.00 came over no gun. i kept on fighting, and after a lucky deflection, osmond buccheri found himself open on the back post and celebrated ronaldo style and in the dying seconds of the game, gun us e knock, he williams missed a chance to punish tioga cost us carelessness. portugal barely etched out. the wind in an absolute thriller of a game. dw sports corresponded done near barcelona, is in culture. she told us more about the media circus surrounding castiano. renault. this is christiane over, and aldo, we're talking about here. he has a razor sharp focus and he's silence the critics time and time again. throughout

his career. i mean all the noise about manchester united, his explosive interview, he gave with pierce morgan, then it came out that he was going to leave the club. both of them had decided on that. so i mean it's pretty obvious that there were going to be questions coming in as to whether or not he was focused or not. but i think again, rinaldo has showed us why he is considered one of the best players of all time. because when it comes time to putting everything aside and performing on the pitch, that's what he's able to do. and that's what he does. 5 time champions, brazil got their world cop campaign underway by beating serbia to nail. after a dull 1st half striker rash, arleson pounced after vinny junior's shot was pushed away and he then delivered a candidate for goal of the tournament to seal the win. for the south americans who go top of group g you watching d. w. news from berlin. just
