ah ah ah ah ah ah, this is dw news. why, from berlin? russia launches overnight, attacks on the ukrainian city of harris on it is the heaviest barrage to date on the southern city that ukrainian forces re talked 2 weeks ago. also coming up on the show to mark a un initiative to eliminate violence against women and girls,

we follow some female activists patrolling the streets of mexico to fight sexual harassment at the world cup, inca tar aaron's national football team do what they did. and in their 1st match, ah, they sing along to their national anthem and went on to beat whales to ah, hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you very much for joining us. at least 4 people have been killed, an overnight missile attacks on the city of her son in ukraine, south. and these are the worst strikes the region has seen since it was retaken 2 weeks ago by ukrainian troops. the targets included homes and commercial buildings

warning that this next report contains disturbing images. the damaged remains of another russian attack on ukrainian homes. like so much of his song, there is no power here and the latest deadly shelling came during the night. emergency lights help reveal the devastation to residence while paramedics rush to help the injured li live. but also still, these were shells completed, the key, libra howling cookies, curry, and there were a lot of spar like viola, rush and missiles. rain down right across his son, holmes. 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 dani pro river. those russian soldiers now escalating this 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 the buckle from the fall. bombs fell right next to our house, and it's too dangerous for my daughter or so i'm taking her to safety in poland through school. or dorothy is urging residence to leave the city if they can, to help ease pressure on badly damaged infrastructure. aurora, they are taking revenge. they want to turn cas thorn into a new, mighty or poor. we didn't do anything wrong nearly and we do. only half of ukraine's energy needs are being made after the latest rush and strikes with no heating winter has become a weapon. as supplies and infrastructure continue to be pummeled by russia's shelling ukrainians the bracing for more dark days and heat to

w as an economy is in care of. and i asked him about the current state of electricity supplies across the country. so we've heard new authorities here that energy generation and distribution is back to 70 percent of the normal level, but that is very unevenly spread across the country. so it is getting a lot better than it was just last night. but if you're in one of the regions still struggling, that's not much used to you. and there definitely still all kinds of unplanned blackouts. there's no kind of time table comp, people can't organize their lives around some kind of certainty, as was the case before this latest strike. and yet look, space is still without heating. is real worried that if the kind of centralized heating system where you have like a heating cloth, sending warm water through pipes across city, if those get damaged and the frost comes, the basically you have to rebuild that infrastructure will be wrecked. so lots of worries. a lot of optimism though, that ukraine can still kind of manage somehow. we have with lots of improvisation,

lots of a, of an ans standard solutions bring some kind of normal t normalcy back. but the major problem are the spare parts. basically, all of ukraine's stock of spare parts are now used up and anything that has to be fixed now is only gonna be possible thanks to new bits of kit coming in from abroad . and the recent attacks also led to some nuclear power plants being force offline . he tell us what the latest on that as so we understand that they are now back on line. this was a kind of automatic safety procedure that when the grid is just it's kind of so unbalanced, they switch themselves off to prevent some kind of overload ab. these are crucial because of the right now in getting coal or gas or the kind of fossil and g supplies into ukraine is very difficult given the logistics of these new capacitors are crucial to ukraine's kind of survival in terms of economic. he can make situation keeping this country going. and then, you know, there are, there's the big past asian, the biggest position in europe in the patricia that is currently in russian. occupy

churchy, where we have concent worried about things going wrong there because it's being shelled. um, so definitely a dangerous situation to wander for now seemed still to be on the control. and i guess before i let you go now in the list as ukraine a fighting continues. a, how are things looking for these newly mobilized rushing trips? we're getting ports of heavy heavy russian losses there. the east is that the russians are desperate for any kind of when, after all these ukrainian pushes forward and you're taking big risks in terms of people's lives. there been lots of videos doing the rounds of newly mobilized russian troops telling their audience or social media that they've basically had no training given very no shoddy equipment. and basically with a couple of days being taken from their lives back in russia, off on themselves on the front lines. we lots of lives lost as a kind of mother's soldiers mothers movement brewing in russia. lots of anger there . and a kind of rare, really, can open challenge to vladimir putin criminal. this is something that was a big deal in the ninety's during the chechen war. so a lot of fear,

seemingly in moscow that this could actually turn in something difficult for them to deal with. we had very important day meeting with women. he claimed were mothers of souls fighting and crane. there's lots of skepticism in rushes, independent media about who these people were. and if they were really the cit, the people he needed to be talking to. but a sense that russian government is trying to defuse something that is really going wrong for them. there are correspondent in the quarterly report from care. thank you. as always, let's turn now to uganda, where authorities have closed the schools around the country in a bed to curb the spread of the bowl of virus. although the number of confirmed cases has decreased in recent weeks, a government has also introduced a nightly curfew and a ban on personal travel markets. bars and churches are also closed. the virus has killed more than 50 people since the start of the outbreak in september, including several health care workers. and joining us now from the round and capital cum paula is d. w reporter julius gov while welcome julius. as schools

across uganda are closing, despite a drop in new cases. why are they taking this step? yes, cause of closed because of the major justification that the government is giving the ministry of health is saying that the kids are safer at home than at school. also, their world health organization believes this and other health experts. they are saying it's better to have the children back to the appearance be can easily be monitored when they are at home than at school. they see that they've tried this during the course 19 pandemic when you're going to impose the longest school closure in the world. and i think it helped. so looking at a bowler outbreak right now, the government is convinced enough that kids are safe for at home. done there would be at school and it's not just schools as it authorities have also closed markets

bars and churches as well as imposed curfews and travel bands. how is all of this going down with him condense and are they actually abiding by these restrictions? or maybe i should start by giving a bitter clarification on that very issue. yes, cause charges, markets and bars have been closed. but in the epi centers, in the areas where cases of been identified. so for compar late, those areas where there is that car, few where is that restriction? when you look elsewhere, people are going about their businesses, especially here in compiler, the buzz remain open. but in areas where they have implemented these restrictions, of course they are concerns because are whereas people might want to use these facilities. it's sources source of income for many people closing about closing a school, closing and market look sought an incomes or inflow for many people. so it means

a lot to many people and it's affecting them because these are targeted closures van, a joyous. can you tell us what is known so far about this particular strain of the able a virus? this is a strange virus on it's still disturbing scientists because they have not yet identified an effective vaccine for it. we have hud talks from the world health organization and ministry of health that vaccine trials will be starting very soon . whereas this is not the virus that has queued more people. what are the variance that have killed more people, especially in west africa? this one comes now with a completely new challenge, because at least in west africa, eventually they formed the vaccine. but for the sudan virus, this dinah bull, a virus, the scientists are still looking for that solution. so it's a very strange strain. and it's still giving scientist headache. hopefully the

trials will be successful. i thank you so much for that update at as well for us. there were 5 days after a deadly earthquake struck indonesia. hopes of finding more survivors are fading. the country's disaster agency now says $310.00 people have died since the magnitude $5.00 event hit the island of java. earlier this week, 24 people are still missing. authorities have sent in heavy machinery, helicopters, and thousands of personnel in an effort to find any remaining survivors. to that he is a sharon assume along has been speaking to the survivors on violence. 6 year old asco 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. d renee, both are gone. yo. but again, yo were married. he was found in his room bodied bird on the 2nd floor. uh huh. on

the concrete and robert waterbury, up a copy, protected him and saved his life. yeah, i love you. i'm out there for 2 days when, when his father and i had the feeling that oscar was definitely still much room at a new variable. and that feeling was right. how do you feel 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 faced 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 the 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 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 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. i'd like to go now to an important issue that dw is covering across the day, gender based violence, according to the united nations. every hour, 5 women are killed by members of their own families. to day is the international day for the elimination of violence against women, and the un as launching 16 days of activism aimed at raising awareness of what it

says are alarming rates of fem aside, where women or girls are murdered just because they are female. now the u. n says 45000 women were killed by family members last year. the highest number was in asian countries, as you can see, followed by africa. but it is a threat facing women around the world. another problem, wherever you go is sexual harassment in public spaces. in one district of mexico city activists are now getting organized with st. patrols to raise awareness of the problem. for over a decade, rosario husband controlled every aspect of her life. her finances, when she could leave the house, even which close she was allowed to where the abuse almost drove her to suicide. her story is all too common in mexico were 3 out of 10 women suffer psychological violence mia body and see a few secret amend. what it even affected my physical appearance at regular. i

didn't care anymore how i dress or if i bathed, because my husband would ask me why i dressed up or why i took a bath to me. he was very jealous is when he 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 to protect women. the environment is also part of the problem with 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 be assumed. they misses them. one man was masturbating right in front of me, all sunny others brush up against you when they walk past people the most that we can ask for help, but no one does anything. no one knows another may but i the faces at 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. i would rid up a 1000 violence against women is recurrent and wide spread, but rosario is using her voice to fight it. so her 12 year old daughter can live freely this vic, though they came to go through another chill cookie, or delegates at a global summit on trade and endangered species are to decide on proposals to protect sharks. initiative would add many kinds of sharks to a list of species requiring protection. the proposal is one of the most disgust at

this year's summit in panama. but other kinds of wildlife trade are also in the spotlight. like rhinoceros horns, all elephant tusks. hippopotamus teeth prized his ivory, the jewelry, all knife 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 block was sharply criticized roots, rejection of a full commercial ban on hipaa product. other species like laws, frogs,

res b, and shocks will luckier 60 species of sharks will be shielded by international trade regulations. if the decision is signed on friday night. so far 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. jackson res plan, indispensable role in marine ecosystems experts say a global pact to protect them would boost the health of the world's oceans. let's get more now from d. w reporter beatrice christopher. i have beatrice. i wanna start with one of my favorites, which is sharks. a crucially important as apex predators in these ecosystems. he tell us why more species haven't been protected sooner, and the trade around sharks and raise has been really hard to regulate. mostly

because we didn't have enough data. international fisheries. mostly, they were created to manage a species such as tuna and charts weren't really on their radar. that meant that we didn't know how big these populations were, but now as the data improved, it has become increasingly clear. just how in danger and some of these species are okay highlighting the importance of research in these areas. do you think the agreements that have been reached at this conference will make any real difference to maintaining biodiversity? well, in the past we've seen that there have definitely been falls of when these agreements made a huge difference. for example, 30 years ago there was an international ban on every trade. and for a long time, we saw that this made a very big difference. the price for ivory was going down, there was less poaching going on in africa. but just because something is legally binding to the countries that are part of this conference doesn't necessarily mean it's always going to be regulated and implemented, of course,

or is that legal activity? so for example, with rhino horns, we see that there is still like an alarming, an alarming trade going on. so the frustrating answer is we just have to wait and see for a few years. what happens. ok, so enforcement also key there. you mentioned hippos, as we just saw in that report the, you did not support a trade ban on hipaa horns. how have organizations working on this issue in africa? reacted to that african nations were especially west african nations, are angry and quite frankly, there incredulous that you would stand in the way of this proposal to protect hippos that are native to these countries. they also call it hypocritical, especially because that you just renewed its action plan to combat life trade. the reason that that use opinion matters so much is that it's a highly influential voting blog and it can make or break a proposal. and in this case, it broke the proposal and these west african countries are left empty handed. yeah,

you can understand the frustration there. beatrice, do you get the feeling that the window of opportunity is closing for savings? some of the species experts are warning that we are in the fixed mass extinction. so in just in the next few decades, nearly 1000000 animal plant species are at risk of going extinct. the difference between this event is that in the past, it's been a natural phenomenon. in this case it's human driven. so it's the climate crisis. that's how we manage our land and also how we trade. so it's absolutely vital for us to continue in these conferences to track how our trade is going. and just before we go, i will ask you if there are any other main takeaways that you think people should know coming out of this conference. but we really have to keep an eye on it, but it's like really a that's ok. we are we and it's been a really interesting one so far. and you know, if they are going to be going on for the next couple of days. and so the decisions

are bound to come out tonight what we're looking for. perfect. all right, thank you so much. that's interesting, christopher for us, our d w report. thanks. thank you. go to the mens world cup in katara now where just a short while ago. iran stand the whales with it too late goals, and that is ongoing protests in their home country. the iranian national team sang along during their 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 iranian supporters, as the anthem played with the team. quietly. events and security had prevented symbols of support for the protest from being taken to the stadium. so for more on this end, the match itself, i'm very pleased to welcome mattie as a book from the other you sports ideas, aaron's team singing at their national anthem before this where this game against

wales, despite not doing so in their opening game earlier this week, why do you think they've had a change of heart? yeah, exactly right. so massive back with, from their 1st games the only the players are, i know why they did that, but they were adamant during the week. they're obviously asked why they didn't thing in the 1st match and they were asked if they were going to do it in a 2nd one. and the players didn't really get a conclusive answer. but what they did say is we are under no pressure from the iranian government. so just to throw that rumors out for them, if that's to believe or not. yeah, i mean that's up to interpretation. what we can say is before the world cup, they have met with iranian president ibrahim, right? you see? so maybe there is a hint right there that there might be in contact and that there might be some added pressure on them. what you can say is the spotlight is on the plays a lot because in front of every game, we're talking about the national and them rather than what happens on the pitch. and what we can also saying we are worrying development is in front of the stadium . there were some clashes between auntie and pro government protesters, and we have to really hope that that doesn't continue. ok,

and what about the game itself? i mean, this was our real upset with iran winning as magic as wells. absolutely. so you're wrong going down $6.00 to $2.00 in that in their 1st mention. well, it's getting a point out of that. but in this one, iran was really dominant and that to the surprise of many, including myself. so there were dominique the entire game. it took until the 8th minute until the welsh goalkeeper got a red card and then there were 10 minutes of at a time. and we can see here in 90 plus 8 and then 90 plus 9 when wales really had to open up the game there. scored the 2 late goals, but it was nothing less than they deserve. so surprisingly very dominant performance. paramount puts them into 2nd place right now, and then every chance not to actually progress to the knockout stage would, would be a surprise to many. but as we see, like in this report right now, they're really deserted and well. yeah, very disappointing display today. they're on the brain of exit them the work of very early. tough one. i do want to ask you another big topic in this world cup has been the treatment of l. g

b t t plus fans in katara during the tournament. there were reports already that fans even had rainbow items confiscated from them as they tried to enter the stadiums. what can you tell us about that? yes, very, very many, many reports on that one and wasn't only fans, but also journalists who have their ramble, color, clothing, and hats, and everything confiscated. so this one was a very, very interesting development here because the famous welsh hats that they wear to the games that were confiscated in front of the 1st group stage game. and the wells football association was obviously really, really unhappy with that sort of a intervene with the governing body. and then just a couple of hours before the game, the fee for i actually put out the statement that we have confirmed that fans with way bobo, bucket heads and rabble flakes will be allowed entry to the stadium for the match against iran today. so this is only for this game, what that remains for the other game. so if this could be a general shift in approach remains to be seen. but i think that's a really good sign for everyone trying to enter with rainbow colored

a clothing. and today we saw many of those hats in the stands and it was a really, really beautiful view. and just before i let you go, can you talk to us briefly about brazil? they are one of the favorites to win this tournament, but is it true they could be moving forward without their are name are unfortunate unfortunately. yes, it was a very dominant display last night and they showed why they are one of the favorites. but name i got caught up in a really bad tackle by one of the serbian defenders and twisted his ankle and it's a very, very tragic struggle. so this like very unfortunate story might continue here. he left scans later today, and i think for the sake of football, we just hope that is not so severe. ok, thank you so much for that. that is mattie. but from d w sports with that update. and host guitar are perilously close to going out of the world's cup after losing 3. want a synagogue after taking a 1st half lead of the africans made it to nil through blade. yeah. after the break . oh, how bad when tarry? reduce the deficit with guitars 1st. ever world cup finals goal,
