. a warning, some viewers may find images in the following report, disturbing. the damaged remains of another rush, an attack on ukrainian homes like so much of his son, there is no power here and the latest deadly shelling came during the night. emergency lights help reveal the devastation to residence while paramedics rushed to help the injured li live for the officer. still, these were shells. bleed, libra howling cookies, curry and there were a lot of spar like firewood. rush and missiles. rain down right across your sun. homes caught fire ascending ash into the air and littering the streets with shattered glass. his son is on the front lines of this war, just 2 weeks ago. ukrainian soldiers forced russian occupies out of the city and

across the denise pro river dollars. russian soldiers, now escalating the shelling on her son's homes and infrastructure. any celebration of the city's liberation was short lived. it's tears and good byes for these families. as they leave some having withstood 9 months of russian occupation with a buck of coming, fall bombs fell right next to our house. and it's too dangerous for my daughter or so i'm taking her to safety and poland, 3 or thorazine is urging residence to leave the city if they can, to help ease pressure on badly damaged infrastructure. aurora view, they are taking revenge. they want to turn casts on into a new mighty or bullet. we didn't do anything wrong here when you, only half of ukraine's energy needs are being made after the latest russian strikes with no heating winter has become a weapon. as supplies and infrastructure continue to be pummeled by russia's

shelling ukrainians, embracing for more dark days and heat. dw ukraine corresponded nick connelly has more of the latest attacks in house. all, i think after the initial period of euphoria here in ukraine about fits on returning to ukraine control. many people have seen those images of people out with the ukranian flags on the streets of his own meeting. the crane soldiers getting autographs, taking se, i think the route is now hitting home that the russians still are not very far away . they are across the other side of nip or if it's a wide river, but still definitely within range of artillery fire. there is no way in for song that is safe from those artillery pieces that are just a handful of thomas away when we were there just a few days ago, we went to was the river to the bridge that the rushes blew up when they left had san and within a few minutes was arriving. obviously they had seen us. there was some artery, far in our direction, maybe just to warn us. but if there is no sense of safety, some kind of finality. okay, so 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, their 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 have san 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 michelle attacks living in a very dangerous place indeed. well, i understand that ukrainian troops are busy in the dull nest region trying to stop russian advances there. 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 console out of the south of ukraine, left some alone and he proved but moved as we, we've seen from images from satellites come social media content more in the way of tech and people to doing 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 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, you know, that was going on for 8 years before this phase. the war began in february. and as such, they're all very good grain 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 ukrainian 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 an a very intensely lot going on there and feeling henkie of it may be potentially, there might be some small incremental russian gains the next couple weeks given how much results they're putting on it, nick, thank you so much. our correspondent,

nick connelly in keith rush's war of aggression against ukraine. his part 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, walton, but missus 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 a garage. 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 benoit survival in the field. and firearms. training with the courses are also meant to attract new recruits to poland, volunteer army which is not regina, 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, but it was i 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. reasonable weapons training is important in the event of a war voice couple when people are drafted into the army, look to la scala because we can shorten the time needed for military training.

wagner bo, and was m as crew, just asked us to scala wisco 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 is rima 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 him. i just felt free. my head was empty, then i would describe it to those good. okay. yeah. because i had to program, 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 interpreter 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 nationally, 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 to mom 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. is a look at some other world news stories today. china has reported another record high of daily cove at 19 infections with new cases exceeding 32000 authorities. them post fresh lockdown and closed in enclosures in almost all major cities in line with the countries controversial 0 cove. it policy, uganda has closed its schools weeks before the christmas break in response to

a surge in a bold, a cases of 50 people have died in the last 2 months since the country declared its worst outbreak of the z. 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 countries disaster agency now says 310 people have died since the magnitude 5.6 quake hit the island of java. earlier this week, 24 still missing. authorities have sent in heavy machinery, helicopters and thousands of personnel in an effort to find any remaining survivors . d, w. sharon sim along has been speaking to survivors on the island. 6 year old asked, i was pause 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 dba nay. both are gone. jo for a gondola were murray who was found in his room bodied bird on the 2nd floor. huh. on the concrete and probably what they're very up a copper protected him and saved us life. yeah, let me. i'm out in there for 2 days when his father and i had the feeling that oscar was definitely still mas rune of new variable. in that feeling was right. we're 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 psychiatrist is to provide not only food and medical help, but to prevent long term psychological damage to bailey. in any time up and being had and then the trauma are experienced by the victims should not be taken lightly

and up some up. and this is just as important as the physical injuries we separately have. it's not visible now, but it will be in a year or chair and can even cause a disability. are those affected could be unable to go to work or to go to school promising. get them not as cas drama will also need to be addressed. he lost his mother and grandmother in the earthquake west. java will need time to come to terms with a true skill of the disaster and money to build earthquake resistant infrastructure . something that has so far been largely absent in this densely populated part of indonesia. now to an issue that d, w is covering across the day, gender based violence. 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 wind is

launching 16 days of active isn't aimed at raising awareness of what it says are alarming rates of fem aside were women or girls are murdered simply because they're female. un says 45000 women were killed by family members. last year, the highest number was in asian countries followed by africa. but it's a threat facing women around the world. in mexico, women and young girls suffered sexual harassment in public spaces every day. many are also subject to coerce of control from their male partners. now, activists in one district of mexico city of 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 out why i took a basket. he was very gentle. is we said lucy rosario went to an official refuge for survivors of violence in mexico city where she lives. the local government has built 13 of the houses, which have helped over 8000 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 se paths 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 they assume for they missed a muslim man? was masturbating right in front of me and all sunny 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 knows another may. but i the daisy that 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. they would know by that 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 in there. no. there's

like a just a couple of other stories making headlines. rail worlds nice. american writer has sued donald trump for battery and defamation. under a new law called the adults survivors act. the law temporary allows temporarily allows adult victims to ring claims of sexual assault. years after the attack, e jean carol had 1st made the allegation of rape against romp in 2019 a charge which the former president has denied on the contrary. and elan mosque has 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 that twitter have been growing under mosques, tumultuous leadership on it, and, and activists in germany have demonstrated held side the country's amazon headquarters to protest it's black friday sales. greenpeace has called the mega

shopping day, a propellant of the climate crisis, and a waste of resources. putting up banners, reading, amazon crime. the activists encouraged amazon workers to boycott work today. delegates at a global summit on trade and endangered species are set to decide whether to put, whether to back a proposal to protect sharks. the motion would add many types of charge to the convention on international trade in endangered species and wild fauna and flora. the shark initiative is one of the most discussed at this year's summit in panama, but other kinds of wildlife trade are also in 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, bye, and shocks will luckier. 60 species of shocks 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 thins 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. or from all of this, what's bring in beatrice christopher o from our environment desk. 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 over fishing. 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 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 you opposition, which some call hypocritical because it 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 christoph row from our environment, dest. thank you very much. thank you. ah, now to the men's world cup in carter where just a short while ago, iran's stunned wails with too late goals. however, amidst ongoing protests in their home country, the reigning national team sang along during the playing of national anthem prior to kick off the players had refrained from doing so in their opening game. earlier this week, loud displeasure was heard from a rainy and supporters,

as the anthem played with the team singing quietly fence. security had prevented symbols of support for the protest being taken into the state of more on this and the match itself. i'm joined by mathias book from d w sports. but he has iran's team sang their national anthem this time for just prior to the game with wales and they didn't seeing that anthem at the beginning of the tournament. how do you explain this lack of consistency? and that's right. so in the 1st game, they collectively decided and what was interpreted as an anti government, a support not to seeing the national and them. and this time they changed their mind. only the players know so far why they have changed their mind, but the players have obviously been asked about this during the week. and they were adamant that they were prone to under no pressure whatsoever from the iranian government. so if you listen to the players that might not be the reason before the tournament, they met with private president abraham racy,

which could also be interpreted in a way that there might be some pressure there. but we will see what's going to happen in the 3rd game, because all of the eyes of the spotlight of the world are now on the writing team, seeing the end them rather than the sports. what i can tell you the, unfortunately, on the tensions arising even in front of the stadium where anti and pro government groups were clashing and some people even saying they were really, really fearing for their safety. and let's hope that that's not going to continue. well, on the pitch there was an upset with a ran winning the match against wales. that's not what most analysts were predicting. absolutely, and i include mine to that as well after you run the $6.00 to $2.00 england in the opening game and well to go to draw. so it was a dominant performance by ron, and no one would have thought that. but it took until like the 80 for minute when the welski actually 89 minute when the welski go to red card. and then finally an extra time. and we know that a lot injury on 90 plus $7.90 plus 8 iran score 2 goals. and it gave them

absolutely deserving when they were born themselves in the end. another 2nd in the group and with one game to go there every chance to progress to the knockout stage, which would be a very big surprise. talk to us about brazil. they're one of the favorites in this tournament, but we're hearing that name are may not be joining them as they move forward. is that right? absolutely, that is right. unfortunately. so we saw a great display from brazil last night and rightly they are a favorite for the will come by name, a good injured in a really nasty fall from the serbian play. always anchor got caught underneath that player. and now we're waiting for scans are supposed to happen today. the national culture for the the t t a was cut optimistic that he will be available for the rest of the world. but with the name of the tragic story, 2014 got injured in the quarter finals again, colombia and miss against germany in that famous 71 victory. and then 2018. he came to the work of injured. so he didn't really play a big role in that one either. so this might just be another chapter of the tragic

name or the story is often accused of kind of shading or diving. but in this case, you have to say he was fault 9 times against or be more than any other players so far at this tournament. and maybe it's on that. the referees protect stop place in especially and including name or a little bit more. but he has thank you so much, but he is booked from the w sports. the watching d. w is coming up next in d. w. news, asia, pakistan's powerful military gets a new chief at a time of increased political instability. thanks for watching. ah, with
