ah ah this is d w. use my from by then rush launches a new round of attacks on ukraine. several people are killed as me 1000 no count powered numerous areas. the strikes come after explosion that a basis bratia a show of solidarity in iran, shopkeepers and truck drivers go on strike to demonstrate their support for the

anti government protest movement. and at the woke up a convincing wind for brazil, again, south korea to keep their campaign going. next they face off against croatia in the porter. fine. ah, i'm been fooling. welcome. the governor of russia's court. regent says a drone has attacked an air field setting an oil storage tank on fire, the region borders ukraine. the incident comes a day after multiple explosions at 2 military bases deeper inside russian territory . moscow blames ukrainian drugs for those busts. keith has not claimed responsibility. on monday, rush launched, another wave of strikes against ukrainian cities. president florida. mister lansky says mythos killed at least 4 people and knocked out power in many parts. ukrainian

officials won several regions now face bore emergency blackouts. i spoke to and us as an analyst with the security and defense program in budapest. i asked him what he made of the reported drones strikes in russia. well, we need to differentiate between different targets and different blast the to blast, which occurred very far away from ukraine border and gus and base to get the live where base these are to air base is deep inside russia. russia is using the home basis for russia strategy. bloomberg, which i used against the everyday used for the attacks against your brain that takes on the basis even if they were done by ukraine. you grand has a green gleam responsibility, even if the taxes were done by ukraine and ukrainian drones. then the drawers will probably be launched from russia by bias. the ukraine, your specially, you know, special operations because these bases are very far away from your water. you

doesn't have drawers of that range, do better recent attack against the region that was probably done by ukrainian growing launch from ukraine. what did a text means that ukraine is clearly capable of heating, military targets deep inside russia. dory and the russia bases neighboring ukraine . there are some babies in the region to the neighboring ukraine are clearly in danger, and the long run if the, the textbook, the new russia is highly likely to throw its air force to bases. are they from the ukraine and border, which my temper operation of russia they are actually air forces. but does this signal an escalation in this war? you think from these few attacks? i'm not entirely sure about that. in the last 11 months of the war, or nearly lost in the month of the war, there have been several cases then ukraine was able to attack russian territory not

already occupied crimea, but also military bases inside russia. so these attacks do not signal much of an explanation either in terms of targeting or in terms of intensity. i don't think this is a sign of an escalation. i think this is more a sign a few grains visiting next to fight back. and also he d brush and very dory should give deem it necessary. but i don't see an escalator back on here. ok. and has just let me play this next report. because i want to ask you about russia's launching of a new wave of missile attacks on monday they caused widespread power outages and damages across the region to infrastructure key for residents seeking shelter in the cities metro stations. not the 1st time they've had to flee on the ground for safety from russia. miss out. what the impact

of these strikes is getting more severe as temperatures drop by sean, nevada. i hope they won't be mass destruction. ok, the russians waited until temperatures fell to 56 degrees celsius. how long until it got cold? typically them for holidays all in but we have blankets. you called the a sleeping bag, filing a camping calcium a door and they a metro with a mile. i believe we will endure a choice of even if they inflict some destruction today, like ukraine's air force says it's shut down. more than 60 of the 70 missiles launched. president flawed him as zalinski hailed the defenders. which what i want to thank the defense forces, our electrical engineers and our people, their defense forces shut down. most of the missiles, the engineers had already begun to restore electricity. our people never give uncle glory to ukraine. slow, grey repeated, rushing missile and drones drive have targeted the power grid,

leaving millions. rutledge, tricity and heating ukrainians have resorted to wood stoves to fend off the cold. the kremlin wants to weaponized winter to bring ukraine to its knees. and this has been happening time and again over weeks now and using winter as a weapon. i mean it all amounts to a war crime, doesn't it more somebody yes. and the system a degree attacking clearly civilian targets. it is something that can be quantified as a war crime. this has actually been part of russia, the war fighting strategy for a long time, attacking see in the infrastructure with an integral part of how russia fought the 1st judge on board. the 2nd judge in war, even in a campaign in syria. so what russia have forces are doing now i'm in my attacking ukrainian student in infrastructure. on the one hand, it's a war crime. on the other hand, however, not much new at taking into account russia previous war. unfortunately, other,

any other strategies that the russians are going to be able to come up with? it sounds like they're quite desperate. then they seem to be quite desperate because the russian ground forces have lost initiative on the front line already like a late late summer. so the system to get tax again, you can see any doctor appear to be a strategy in that and i think the inter and you bring in being too much harsher than doing toby had in germany. so that does start to, to be disseminated that winter break, the more out of do you bring it in population. however, again, on a military historian doesn't know, do many examples than to more out of the student population could be broken. so really by area bonding. so here i shared the optimal president residency, i think you can in population in your front of the security and defense program in budapest, thank you very much for giving us your analysis. thank you. pressure is growing on

a rainy and authority says protests against the regime, widen. shopkeepers and truck drivers joined a 3 day strike that began monday. despite a top official. having announced that the controversial morality police had been disbanded, the death of a young woman in that constitutes a tampa spot would have become the biggest anti raging demonstrations in years. ah, rows of shouted shops in cities across iran. it's a sign of just how far the anti regime protest movement has spread. after more than 2 months of demonstrations and violent pushback from the state, in this bizarre inter on some shop owners said the authorities had warned them not to join the nationwide strike. among those who have stayed open, there's still support for the protest movement. yes, this is a legit amendment and they should be heard ocean. the strike comes as one top

official announced the morality police would be disbanded. and the enforcement of strict dress codes for women has seemingly been scaled back. i know failure where it's much better without morality. police on the street a travel, you seen more women walking around without a hitch jap, almost like they can decide for themselves. and which i think that is an improvement, and i need you to take you beth. i opposition to the religious force has been at the center of the protest movement that has since grown into a resounding coal for regime change but active as se the morality police have just been replaced by other security forces in the straits and state media has since back tracked costing down on whether the group has been shot down at all. they are in fact not scrap. the news was recorded . and even if the world police are scrub this misinformation has,

has worked in favor of the room to distract focus, to distract the movement, destroyed, international solidarity, forming cause. any one who knows iran knows that the morality police is not the problem. the head of a runs judiciary said any one caught encouraging this wake, strike will be arrested. but these threats are falling short with so many iranians willing to risk their lives and their freedom to call for an end to the regime. i also dw forties little fuck with ami about the 3 day strike across iran will be are in 2nd day of the nation, a strike. and it's actually the biggest strike after this deputy shipment of this slumped republic in 1979. and of course, it says sign of solidarity in the nation among gearing and people and shows the international observer and western countries dead day. do not want this regime once

more. and also it's a threat to this doctor public itself and it scares them very much. and that's why day yesterday they did everything in their power to stop people from doing the act, but i think it will continue and today and tomorrow will be, i think, more widespread. so are the demonstrators getting somewhere in your opinion? i mean, net date, they really want to show that show to the international audience that they don't want this regime and to be united to want more. and that's, i think that was why they declared this 3 days nationwide to strike what it, what are you hearing from your sources on the ground as far as progress is protest movement they really well,

i want to continue taking 2 districts older. they know older risk and danger in doing so, we are in contact with many sources on the ground from different groups up to society and there. and they say that they're really sick and tired of for decades off the brutality dictatorship by this regime. and they are really needing to pay the price for their freedom. what about the reporting of these demonstrations? we've found a very hot here at the w and show you agreed to get our hands on actual information and up to date footage from these protests to paint a clear picture to the world of what is going on, what are the challenges? facing journalist says they try to report on the protest. val lists remember that journalism is a very dangerous and risky javi near on under district geem. and journalists are

under a lot of pressure if they really want to do their job. and that's what they've seen in case of a new fire home at d and allow him on my day for covering the news about mass. i mean, he's death and i'm in case of more than 60 journalists, which are in custody right now. since the beginning of this uprising, but on the other hand, behalf citizen reporters, which i believe that they made a great job showing the word what is exactly going on in your, on and with all the challenges they are filming the brutality of the regime, of the security forces and despite all the problems and internet destructions, they publish them on social media to reach wider audience and to be almost every day we are in contact with iranian people. and they want us to be their worries and published their violence scenes by the security forces for the war to see what is

exactly going got inside the country and t w's persian services on the thread from iran through. what else can you tell us about that? yeah, that's right, journalists working outside your on have always been under debts read by this regime and the or no exception from that. but some of our colleagues received threats through various bass specially after this title and these new rape of nationwide protests. and recently, we have been informed by the police about a lease with a name of one of our colleagues on it and even family members of our summed and treats and by the agents of ministry of intelligence in the wrong button. i can say that none of the skin to stop us from doing our job, which is being hearing in people's voice and to reflect their demands in fighting for freedom and democracy. he w. snowfall army,

we're having technical difficulties there and can't hear back to either, but we will try again. moving on to other news and in sports to cut our web brazil through to the welcome quarter, finals off the beating south korea for one in the round of 16 in a dominant performance. brazil put 4 goals past south korea in just the 1st half that included the shanice and 3rd goal of the tournament before b. c s juniors, perfect chip pass found lucas pocky to put it in the back of the neck. we'll take a look 5 time will champions made it their status as one of the tournament favorites with brazil will face croatia in the quarter finals tend to encounter the graduations held their nerve to be japan. in the 1st penalty shoot out of the tournament. japan had the better start to the game, but 3 minutes in they couldn't find the accuracy. 5 minutes later,

gracious of their 1st attempt on target, but even per as it couldn't capitalize on japan's mistake. japan dominated the game and it paid off just before halftime. dyson might have found himself in the right spot in front of gold for the easy finish, gracious equal as i came out of nowhere, 10 minutes into the 2nd half. paris edged pinpoint header font the bottom corner. 10 minutes later lucca modred almost got aside ahead. what was denied by the keeper, japan had to chance to win it an extra time, but the game went to a penalty shoot out. gracious, keep a dominic li. bakovich became the man of the match, saving 3 penalties before mario puzzle ej scott. the decider a disappointing and to the world cup for japan, croatia go through to the quarter finals. so who will join croatia and brazil in the quarter finals and t w's was corresponded. danya barcelona is in kata is what she had to say earlier about favorites. brazil,

and today's remaining matches to be fair. i had brazil as my tenant favorites the entire time, but yesterday's performance really showed everyone why they were considered tournaments here. it's any day, instantly dominated south korea. now this brazil side has a team full of incredibly skilled individuals that they work so well as a team. they really are the complete package and we saw that in the charlatans goal to build that had such great skill, but then they worked. so was a team to finish it off. i'm in brazil is just flying high right now. everything they do, it looks so easy. now my, their key players back, he got to go yesterday. he's chasing pallet's record for the busy with the most gauze. so really distant a great spot result. it will be a daunting task for croatia. ok, they're flying high. are looking forward to the day. what are your thoughts on morocco and spain? so of course morocco,

not many people from a lot of people are under estimating morocco. let's say of course spain and this one will be the favorites. but morocco isn't playing very well to actually unbeaten in 8 games in all competitions. they qualified in 1st place in a group that had croatia and belgium in it. now morocco's also a team that carries a lot of hope for a lot of people here. the last african team in the tournament, the last area team in the tournament. there are so many fans here in doha that will be rooting for morocco. it will almost feel like a home game for them. of course, span is spanned their dominant, also considered favorites. but they know not to take morocco lightly in this one. what about the light magic features christiano ronaldo? portugal are up against switzerland. exactly. so chris shiner and other, when you talk about portugal now everyone's just talking about rinaldo. he's kind of overshadowed everything. you know, there's been a lot of criticism for the way he's been playing. the things that have been, have been happening after pitch. we just found out that he probably won't be the

captain in this match. so alive. the focus is on rinaldo in this one. but portugal actually have a really good side and so far they haven't actually let that affect them in his woke up, they look pretty impressive. now switzerland are not going to make it easy for them . of course, they're very difficult side to play against their organization. you really have to fight to get a result against switzerland. portugal will still probably be the favorites, but not an easy match by any means or lazy match. daniel barcelona. thank you very much for bringing us up to date on all the action in got, are you membership talk start in the next hour for western balkan countries that are not yet part of the block. let's go to t w's been. i get again, he's in santa for the summit, a bent. what can we expect from the meeting on and as luck has as commitment, rhoda and i will take in raleigh and say can hear him. so keep talking band

with the you will commit again to take in all 6 western balkan countries, 5 of them, parts of former yugoslavia and albania. but this commitments are made since 20 years now. but now they want to speed it up because on the backdrop of the war against ukraine, arranged by russia, they see that this region is geopolitically. very important, for example, to have a transport corridor from the black sea, from bulgaria over north macedonia, through bonia to italy. and that's by the heads of state and government will make a firm commitment and shell out more money for the region and a pledge more investment in the economic areas here. or what else can western balkan countries hope from joining the e u? well the rest, the balkan countries are waiting and waiting for a long time, then our hoping for speeding up the whole process. and they also hoping for

a tailor made approach for every country because every country has a different as different problems and different prerequisites. and we also ask people here on the streets of to run or what they as citizens expect from these are accession process. let's have a listen to unabashed when we want to cooperation between the ear and the western bulk in the psychology bucket. and we've been waiting so long to be anita you several. i mean, we are europeans and we cannot wait to enter the block source. so, and if there is unity, they can combat russia. latonya l. c. buried underneath. and as you can see, albanians are leaving their country every day at the does the living conditions are not good here. let's see. so i hope the summer will be a good opportunity for all of us the best that in one sam in particular is ella, i hope this is the moment there will be more welcoming, but i'm not sure the case is not every where it's being said that they don't want albanians in the you. so i don't know, we just hope the sofa,

the you is now more focused on albania, and i believe that they will get closer not only to albania, but also to other western balkan countries. what i mean, both bonding oral barge of one premier memo, the european union is trying to do its best for the states that are fragile democracies or by phone by them. but they should also take into account machine that the situation in albania is very dangerous and tough notion johnny ashleigh rubbish. but the mafia is in power here enforced that arson mafia. a lot of issues there about what about the perception of russia in the region? has that changed since the invasion of ukraine where the russian aggression against through this is certainly changed to the booth. and the perception pushes to have some influence. one of our country, especially in serbia and of bosnia herzegovina, serpent, president of should,

always, is not saying that the boys therapies. also, you know, in the middle between the, you and russia and the you as hoping to push back the russian influence by taking the best of both countries quicker into the union em. but we have to see if that plays out because russia has also investment strong ties from the past to the region heavily with their band they get on those e, you, accession talks for the western balkan countries. thank you very much. joining us from toronto, sorry about the back quality of the line. just a reminder at the top stories were following for you this hour. russia has launched the new wave of missile strikes against ukraine after explosions. a database is inside rational territory. it state no claim of immediate responsibility for the blast. last of says it's based against the cause of the exploit. and it's that
