across the dani pro river dollars 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 buck of school, full bombs fell right next to our house and it's too dangerous for my daughter works. i'm taking her to safety and poland driscoll authorities urging residents to leave the city if they can, to help ease pressure on badly damaged infrastructure. aurora, they are taking revenge. they want to turn casts on into a new mighty or born. we didn't do anything wrong nearly in would you. only half of ukraine's energy needs are being made after the latest rush and strikes with no heating winter has become a weaken. as supplies and infrastructure continue to be pummeled by russia's

shelling ukrainians, embracing for more dark days and hate. our correspondent nick connelly is in tears and i earlier asked him about the current state of electricity supplies across the country. so we've heard from the 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 they're definitely still all kind of unplanned blackouts. there's no kind of time table caught people can't organize their lives around some kind of certainty, as was the case before this latest strike. and yet lot space is still without heating. was 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, the ukraine can still kind of manage somehow. we're with lots of zation, lots of a, of an unsafe 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 be fixed now is only gonna be possible thanks to new bits of kick coming from abroad. that is, recent attacks also led to some nuclear power plants being forced 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. these are crucial because of the right now. getting coal or gas, or the kind of fossil energy supplies into ukraine is very difficult given the logistics of these new capacity. sions are crucial to ukraine's kind of survival in terms of economic economic situation. keeping this country going and then you know,

there are, there's the big past asian, the biggest position in europe in the parisha that is current in russian knocked by churchy, where we have concent worried about things going on there because it's being shelled. um, so definitely a dangerous situation, but one that for now seems 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. the east is that the russians are desperate for any kind of when, after all these ukrainian pushes forward. and joe are 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 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 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, 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 crane. there's lots of skepticism in rushes, independent media about who these people would 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 here. thank you. as always, let's bring up to speed now. it's another headlines at this hour. you commission, president or slough under lion has assured ukraine at the you will intensify, efforts to provide support to the country's power grid. half of ukraine's energy facilities have been damaged in recent weeks by rushing, shelling, causing widespread power and heating cottages. young activists in sweden have sued the government for taking insufficient action against climate change. back to this

march, to stockens district court, to filed the lawsuit which is supported by 600 young people. it asks the court to determine whether the country violated it. citizens rights with its climate policies and a global summit on trade in endangered species has approved a plan to protect sharks. the plan includes $54.00 different species and aims to reduce the cruel trade in shark fence. the proposal was adopted by 183 countries as well as the european union. while authorities in uganda have closed schools around the country in a bed to curb the spread of the ebola virus. although the number of confirmed cases has decreased in recent weeks, the government has also introduced a nightly curfew and a ban on personal travel. many markets of ours 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 adding to the problem is the fact that

there is still no proven vaccine against this particular strain known as the sudan abolla virus. i asked you to be a reporter at julius, one gambler, in, in uganda, about the race to develop a treatment. 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, the heart of the variance that of care more people, especially in west africa. this one comes now with a completely new challenge, because at least in west africa, eventually they formed a vaccine. but for the sudan virus, this is darnell bullard virus. the scientists are still looking for that solution. so it's a very strange strain and it's still giving scientist here, dick, hopefully the trials will be successful. ok,

we can bring you an update from the men's walls caught them, caught her. now. iran have stunned wales at with a too late goals. and am it's ongoing protest in their home country. iranian national teams sang along during their national anthem prior to kick off. or you might remember the players had refrained from doing so in their opening game earlier this week. love just weather was heard from her onions orders, as the anthem play with the team, singing quietly. fans said security had prevented symbols of support for the protests from being taken into the stadium. so for more on this and the match itself, i'm very pleased to welcome that he has a broke from the other sports, but he has a rounds team singing their national anthem before this. well, 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 mass effect with, from their 1st games the only the players. so 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 there were going to do it in the 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, but we can say is before the world cup, they have met with iranian president ibrahim, right? you see? so maybe there's 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 anthem rather than what happens on the pitch. and what we can also saying, we are worrying developments is in front of the stadium. there were some clashes between anti and pro government protestors. 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 iran 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 are, dominates the entire game. it took until the 8 minute until the welsh goal keeper 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, their score, the 2 laid goals, but it was nothing less than they deserve. so surprisingly very dominant performance. vermont puts them into 2nd place right now, and they're every chance not to actually progress to the knockout stage. would, would be a surprise to many. but as we see a like in this report right now, they're really deserved it. and wales very disappointing despite to day they on the brink of ac system, the welcome. 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 guitar 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, so very, very many, many reports on that one and wasn't only fans,

but also journalists who have their rainbow colored clothing and heads 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 intervened with the governing body. and then just a couple of hours before the game, the fif, i actually put out this statement that we have confirmed that fans with way bobo, bucket heads and re book 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 and to with ramble called 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 star name or unfurnished? unfortunately, yes, there 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 story because if we look at it, name up with the world cup semi final 2014 because he got injured in the quarter fun against colombia. so the famous $71.00 of germany against brazil, he missed. and 4 years later, he also got injured into the world cup and didn't play a big role. 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 it's not so severe. ok, thank you so much for that as much as brit from d. w. sports with that update. and in group a, the game between netherlands and ecuador has finished in a draw. and he, that host caught our, our out of the world cup after they lost $31.00 to senegal. after taking a 1st half a lead, a cynical, made it to nell through malaysia after the break. muhammad,

when tarry reduced that deficit with his heart 1st ever world cup finals goal, but it was it, but dang sealed the win for synagogue just minutes later. now guitar cannot qualify from the group regardless of the results of their final game against the netherlands. so that is your news update at this hour. as always you can find more on our website. i t w dot com. i'm claire richardson. i start watching brett, a small shell filled with explosives and a symbol of power, rebellion and sensuality. a magic wand. i'm.
