grocery usual, 4th, officials estimate that russian air strikes have destroyed nearly half of ukraine's energy infrastructure. and it's not clear how much can be restored and send us a shuttle giant the summer, not the way it helps that there are 2 of us. and we don't have any children yakobelli did they? i don't know how people keep young children warm shots and done. it must be really difficult to stop them getting ill when it's this cold. melbourne, i don't know now what are you? the authorities imposed timed blackouts in cave and other areas to prevent what remains of the grid from becoming the loaded in this village north of the capitol. the damage is all too apparent. most houses, including nadia and lawyers, home have been raised to the ground. the sisters had to live in a chicken shed for 6 months. now they have a small house,

but the insulation is poor and the heating only works when the electricity is on there from bethesda, maryland. you can feel like they went into shoe see made in ukraine. they were well padded and keep me warm. i will make this family. yes. an agency provided the accommodation and well wishes have donated winter supplies. the sisters grow vegetables and strawberries in the garden. residents have set up a collection point in the village hall, where hot water generators and firewood are available. the bombed out roof is being repaired before the cold winter said sin. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin on friday, met with mothers of soldiers who've been killed in russia as invasion of ukraine in a stage meeting with carefully selected women from across russia who said that he

shared their pain, but that their sons who had not died in vain. there has been growing protest across russia from mothers of young men who have been forcibly recruited and sent to the front office, whacking training and equipment. monmouth curriculum was listed i earlier asked, did the is russia analyst konstantin agra about this carefully orchestrated meeting and what put in hope to achieve? well, the carefully orchestrated is one way of putting it up. actually at least half of those 17 women that were present. ah, either a people looked basically state bureau minus they'd bureaucrats or members of the from kremlin movements, the dog, essentially financed by the state tooth of boost support for vladimir putin. so up, the aim is very clear to show popular supports and actually the mother's support for put his policies for put his war in the gray. actually,

there are doubts about where the old these women actually have their sons. ah, at the front end are definitely the, the fact that the only if you clips of the meeting have emerged of the very, very little footage. i would say also shows that this was indeed very carefully orchestrated and designed not to elicit any other feelings, but essentially for support for the presidents and respect for his position. but he didn't say anything. it was pretty everything he said was pretty banal. and sometimes actually bouldering for oh, on on insensitive, at least to one mother. he said, well, you say lots of people die from vote go your son didn't. and this is not the kind of thing you expect probably to hear a such meeting that was constantine edgar speaking to me earlier. and here's a look at some other stories making news around the world. women and latin american countries have marched. approach has gender based violence and demonstrations

across the region. women demanded more action from their government to stop them aside. protestors marking the international day for the elimination of violence against women scuffle with police in bolivia, capital law, and in mexico city. in taiwan, people are voting and local elections overshadowed by tensions with china. the polls are a test of strength for ty, ones, major parties. the results are likely to be closely watched by beijing as it increases pressure on the island. china, taiwan as a part of its territory and protests have broken out in chinese ship young region over the horsemen of strict cobra, 1900 lockdown measures. social media videos appear to show crowds in the regional capital venting their anger at local officials. approach has followed the death of 10 people in residential fire and claims back. the locked down, hampered rescue efforts will a group of un experts is warning that the tale bonds,

treatment of women and girls in afghanistan may amount to a crime against humanity. the militant group has ban secondary education for girls, ordered women to cover themselves from head to toe and forbidding them from most work. their exclusion from public life is also forcing teenage girls into a future that many don't want arranged marriages to older men. at 16 years old mary, i'm never imagined. she will be trapped and married someone she barely knows as to what she says. she had no choice. from the day the taliban bought her from school a draft, the fic, and i never thought there would come a day that we couldn't study any more where we wouldn't be able to achieve our dreams. and i would become a housewife instead of becoming a doctor as the funny l m. i. instead of studying i now wash dishes wash clothes and mopped the floor. all this is so hard, muscular famish on angel. the luncheon in afghanistan, life for women and girls,

is shrinking the message from on top. a woman's place is at home and she should stay covered outside. a glaring contrast to this moral that somehow escaped the taliban senses. i am still kid, put a school uniform on my body, not a wedding dress but many parents feel they have no choice as money runs out. 3 miriam's father resisted the thought until the very last moment. thus, the me, every time people ask to marry my daughters, i said i wouldn't give their hands. i told him the girls must finish the university . he eventually gave in fisher. many of the girls share the same fate. it's not uncommon for them to get married voluntarily for the rest of the one. and while i'm at home,

my conscience tells me that it's better to married it rather than be a burden on my family. what others, there's no other option left for us. it is right in the future is now tied to strangers of much older. who now have the greatest say on how the rest of their lives will play out. ah, to the soccer world cup now where the 2nd round of group matches has begun in group a. the netherlands went up against ecuador with both teams coming awful. when in their opening matches, the dutch opened the scoring in the 6th minute, cody guard ho with a strong stride from distance. before the game coach lou, even carl said cargo can become a star. but ecuador proved they had come to play, and in the 2nd half their captain and our valencia's. 40 tappin for a final score of one to will that

means host katara or out of the world carp after they lost a $31.00 to synagogue. after taking a 1st half lead, a cynical made it to it nil through light jaw after the break or howard monterey, reduce that deficit with guitars 1st ever world cup finals gall but it was a bamboo dang who sealed the wind for cynical just minutes later. hot, our can not now qualify from the group regardless of the results of their final game against the netherlands. and that means catch our, our out after only 2 games the 1st time ever for a world cup host nation. earlier our sports correspondent daniel barcelona, told us what that means for the middle east country. this is either humiliation. it's an absolute disaster. so the 1st host nation to lose multiple group stage games. they're the only the 2nd to go out in the group stage. so for them, it's

a total total disappointment. after all the time they had to prepare and all the money that they spent on this turn of it for them to go in the groups, it is, has been a shock to everyone. now, i mean, in their 1st game, they did not look convincing. they looked unorganized, they didn't look sharp. and in their 2nd game, also the 1st half, they'd look that way. they did pick it up in a 2nd half. they showed that they could play by ultimately it was too little too late because in a tournament like the world cup you have to perform right from the very beginning. some guitar fans we spoke to after the match were so disappointed they said at least they thought their team would make it out of the group stage. tanya, barcelona for us there. and the iranian teams refusal to sing their national anthem was bigger news than the score line in their 1st match ahead of their game against wales. they were singing again under pressure from the government. they won that match a to nail, but the gesture highlights the risks iranians are taking to show their descent. ah,

these iranian fans in the stadium wanted to seize the opportunity and draw attention to the bloody correct don't on protests happening in their home country. but their message, women, life freedom, was not welcomed by fi fun cut up and removed, just like iranian flex, all to, to hide the symbol of the islamic republic. the team's decision to this time sing the national anthem, albeit reluctantly. assign of the immense pressure the play asunder. and the you melissa ation. painful to watch for many in attendance. for others it's a symbol of giving into a regime they don't approve of. especially since it comes just a day after they form a t med voya. jeffery was arrested in iran after training session with his club fools as time. therefore he is of kurdish origin and has repeatedly criticized the oppression of women and minorities in these lamps,

republic. now he's facing charges for tarnishing the reputation of the national team and spreading propaganda against the state. that mexico 41 of the more than 15000 people authorities in iran have arrested since the protest began in september . more than 300 iranians have been killed, according to human rights groups. and every day security forces attack, protest us all over the country. it has created a rift to we iranian society that's also on display in carto, outside the stadium. supporters of these law, mac republic, try to silence anti government protest us and hide them messages, turning the match itself into a sideshow. and so the iranian team managed to defeat wales on the pitch and yet disappointed many of their fence for not standing by them. and just before we go, one of germany's most cherished holiday traditions has returned for the 1st time
