[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is d, w. do live from berlin. a regional governor blames ukraine for a drone attack on an air field near the border which left an oil storage facility and crossed in flames. one day after 2 air bases deeper inside russia are

apparently targeted by drugs. we'll hear more on the cross border escalation. also coming up a show of solidarity and iran shopkeepers and truck drivers go on to strike to demonstrate their support for the anti government protest movement. and at the world cup, a convincing wind for brazil against south korea to keep their campaign going. next, they face off against croatia in the quarter finals. ah, i'm sorry, kelly. welcome to the program. reports from russia suggest ukraine could be stepping up its cross border attacks against strategic targets. in the latest incident, the governor of russia's cursed grades have been, says that a drone attacking an airfield setting an oil storage tank on fire kursk lies on the border with ukraine. but the incident comes

a day after multiple explode since that military base is in the sy, in region, and in the angles airbase much deeper inside of russian territory. and moscow blamed ukrainian drones for these blasts, calling them an act of terrorism. keith has not claimed responsibility earlier, undress rots, a security analyst from the german council on foreign relations told the w. news that mondays attacks were likely carried out from within russia. the whole basis were russia digital birth because used against me getting used for the attacks against your brain that takes on the basis even if they were done by ukraine. you graham has a green gleam responsibility, even if the taxes were done by ukraine and ukrainian drones. then these drawers will probably be launched from russia by based on ukraine. your specially special operations because these bases are very far away from your border. you doesn't have drawers of that range,

did recently attack against the region that was probably done by ukrainian growing launched from ukraine. what did a text means that ukraine is clearly capable of heating, military targets deep inside russia. dory. and let's get more analysis. nick connelly, our correspondence and keep join us now. so nick, as we've heard a drone attack today, to drone attacks yesterday, all inside of russia, who's responsible and if it is indeed ukraine. is it changing how it's fighting the war? well i think for now there's basically no the suspect apart from ukraine. i think this is too much and it's to are coming to close together to be put down to some kind of malfunction or human error. i think this really changed the geography of the war, makes russia feel exceedingly vulnerable, even if the actual damage to these installations is still debatable. i think this is a huge political problem for vladimir putin to explain to russians how it came about

. they are now vulnerable that cities close to moscow on that being attacked. and then there's also the question of what this does to russia's capability on the battlefield here in ukraine. there's already speculation that they're gonna have to pull out of their air defenses back from ukraine where they're protecting russian troops currently back into their own territory to defend targets. frankly, they never thought they would have to defend ukrainian officials. they have never claim responsibility for any of these strikes walker through why why, who is very little in it politically. right. so the ukrainian side already has the kind of propaganda when everyone is assuming that this is a ukrainian attack. so why take responsibility of something in case maybe next time something goes wrong. some civilians are hurt in the process of attacking these military targets. and also there is the question of quite how much western aid is in these drones. all these missiles, we still don't really know what it was that attacked these targets. unable take a couple of weeks before we know more that's been the case in the past. so, you know, if there are western components in these weapons, ah, there, you know, is there

a willingness on the part of your trans west allies to basically put the hand up and say we are giving ukraine now, the capacity not only to strike russian troops in ukraine, but also to strike rush proper. that's been a bit of a red line, especially for the u. s. for the last few months, at least. nick r separately. what is the situation like now where you are in ukraine? a day after russia again bombed the conscious energy grant. it's really, really different when you look at the different regions here and key of things are pretty good. this is of see the best defended part of the country as the capital. but especially in the south place like a desk, a put, he's a close to front lines close to the black sea where missiles can basically go undetected for a long time. the situation is a lot worse and a desert logic without power and lots working on there to rebuild. but the definitely a sense that every time you cranes getting better at knocking these russian whistles out of the sky and it will be it the spare parts and the kind of resist the system is really being tested. but there's a sense that there's certain kind of routine to kind of engineers know what to do, and also the locals are prepared, have charge the power banks have, you know, prepared supplies, water and food. so there is a sense,

even though temperatures are exceedingly cold, people are getting a handle on this more less economy and came thank you. a european union leaders are meeting albania to discuss e membership for 6 western balkan countries aspiring to join the block. european commission president ursula found a line is among the officials and heads of government attending the summit in tarana. membership talks will cover, reinforcing security against foreign interference, and the consequences for the western falcons of russia's invasion of ukraine. and let's get more, we are joined by dw brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena who is at the summit . so i'll center. why is this region so important for the you? the region is so very important and crucial for the european union, also in the context of russia sworn in the ukraine. and this war has shown very

clearly that the european union has to counter russia's destabilizing influence to keep its neighbourhood a safe and stable. and russia hasa repeatedly demonstrated that they consider the western balkans and environment that they can use to punch beck against the european union and the west. in general, russia was accused of her attempting, a qu in montenegro, for instance in 2016 to prevent the country's membership in nato and russia is supporting separatist to minded to leaders in bosnia herzegovina, for instance, another country in western balkans were we still see ethnic and political tensions, and let's take serbia, for instance, a country that it's quite critical of nato because of its history. and that is quite close to russia. this country has not supported the european union sanctions on russia. so you understand how important it is for the european union to know

that those neighbors are standing together with the european union. and it's a big game this, this big battle between democracies and alto, italian regimes. and let's have to listen to was, or the law fund a lion at the european commission president had to say about that. he's a sing mcmann. oh, this struggle is also a parent in the west, malcolm suntrust rushes, trying to gain influence. china's trying to gain influence. we are the biggest investors. we are the closest partners. and that's what this discussion is about. you have to decide on which are side you stand on the side of democracy that the european union, your friends and partners. other, you want to choose another way. what are what? yeah. monday. so let's talk a little bit more about those ways. alexandra, when it comes to closer ties with the you when it comes to you exception,

for example, where do western ball st. falcon nation, stand right now. well, we have to say that none of those countries are really close to joining the european union because they're political politicians and also the economies are not deemed ready afore membership in the u. but after years of you know that nothing was happening, dad, the exception talks are worse, told now we see some new dynamics during new movements because of the war in ukraine. the u has promised to fall coast on this enlargement process, albania, for instance, and north macedonia. have started accession talks, marcia had said governor has been recommended and as a candidate i stayed. so as you can see, there is some movement there. and even though it can take years in decades for those country to become a member of the european union, they are hoping that this meeting here in to anna is going to help them get their

t w's alexandra phenomena joining us from albany. and thank you so much me here to look at some other stories making is indonesia, parliament has flat past legislation criminalizing sex outside of marriage. the law applies to citizens, as well as tourists from abroad, and makes extra marital sex punishable by a year in prison. the ban as part of a sweeping, legal overhaul that has drawn criticism from civil liberties. groups, christy alley, the actor who found fame in t. v sitcom cheers has died at the age of 71. the 2 time emmy award winning star was also famous for her role in the romantic comedy look who's talking alongside john travolta. she had been recently diagnosed with cancer. iranian state media is reporting that authorities have arrested 12 members of an opposition network with links to europe. the revolutionary guards accused the group of planning acts of sabotage in the country and coordination with counter

revolutionary agents in germany and the netherlands. the russ take place as shopkeepers and truck drivers across iran take part in a 3 day strike that began on monday. oh, rose of shouted shops in cities across iran. it's a sign of just how far the anti regime protest movement is 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. yeah, well this is a legit amendment and be should be heard. wish 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 best much

better without morality police on the street. i'd like a travel. you see more women walking around without a hitch job. almost like they can decide for themselves on which i think that's an improvement and i need you to thank you, bertha 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 casting doubt on whether the group has been shot down at all. they are in fact not scratch the surface recorded. and even if the world police are scrub this misinformation has, has worked in favor of the room to distract folks to distract the movement. destruct,

international solidarity forming cause any one who knows iran knows that the morality police is not the problem. the head of a ron's judiciary said any one caught encouraging this wake strike will be arrested . but these threats of falling short with so many iranians willing to risk their lives and their freedom to call for an end to the regime. and earlier dw, as far see and knowledge far galani told us what iran, the protesters hope to achieve with this 3 day strike. they are in 2nd day of nation, a strike. and it's actually the biggest strike after to establish meant of islam. true public in 979. and of course it says sign of solidarity in the nation among iranian people. and shows the international observer and western countries day do not want this regime once more. and also it's a threat to this doctrine,

public itself and 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. and since the protests began almost 3 months ago, the islamic regime has ramped up pressure on journalists, reporting on events inside of iran. foreign correspondence are barred from entering, and iranian journalists are not allowed to report on the antique government demonstrations. dozens of journalists have been arrested every day, new videos emerged, showing people protesting views, law, mac leadership. often it is footage of brutal violence against the protesters by malicious and iranian police. the videos are recorded secretly via mobile phone because filling protests is forbidden. journalists are threatened and intimidated. many are denied permission to work,

including germany's public broadcaster id knock. the fact like we're joined by katerina willinger, she's our correspondent, 4 year round, but it's in istanbul at the moment because she cannot get an entry permit for a runs, and an engine and a half excerpts of german reports of the protests are shown on iranian state. television, all it is that you and denounced as being full of lies him and having a political agenda, 2 mortality mildly, noise, and end. it is even harder for iranian journalists on the ground. over 60 are believed to have been arrested since the protest began. among them is near the far how midi the iranian journalist was one of the 1st to report on the case of jena. masa meaning in mid september, she posted a photo of grieving parents in the hospital where the young woman died. after being detained by the so called morality police, amadi and her colleague latino hummadi. another reporter were taken into custody by inches crow mother. i got these 2 did nothing wrong. it explains her editor in chief in an online statement to that be

a lot of fun. they did their duty should masa. i mean he's death be covered up in nasa. what reason is there that it shouldn't be recorded? it's his, he was at the daycare and by the isler was of the cisco shortly afterwards. the iranian judiciary accuses the 2 reporters of being cia agents. the charge that carries the death penalty in the islamic republic. in iran and around the world. people are now demanding the immediate release of the 2 women. but the regimes attempts to stop all reporting on the protest does not seem to be working. in part because of ordinary iranians. who say they will never be able to silence them all. and germany's foreign minister on elana burbock is on a 2 day visit to india. it is her 1st official trip to the country in a joint press conference with india's foreign minister, both stressed a commitment to shared values including democracy and human rights. but divisions

over certain issues remain databases. richard walker reports each monday afternoon on kelly metro and an unusual passenger. and here germany, foreign minister, m l in a bad book heading to the old city center. there's good reason for using public transport here. old daily is as gainfully packed is anywhere on earth, in babylon, against a 1st can taste the city bursting at the seams. alina bab, book is always keen to show sort of model short of diplomacy connecting with ordinary people, like hearing old tele, especially with women and minority groups, and talking about values like democracy and human rights. after meeting indian counterpart super ammonium j shanker, burbock repeatedly stressed how important these values are for relations between

state. we will now come in by the out this part, we've learned in a brutal way, but having the business relationships we partners that are not cheryl values can have dramatic consequences, lots of poisoned hobble, come to k, a reference to russia, and apply to me. and how germany became dependent on russian oil and gas. now germany and the rest of europe, looking elsewhere for their energy and want others to follow suit. but here india is not on the same page. it's increasing importance of russian oil at low prices. climate today, india foreign minister vigorously defended pitch. shane kelly has to protect his people from soaring prices, laid in mind to the europe is buying a lot from the middle east. now middle east was traditionally supplier for us economy like and so it puts pressure on prices in the middle east as my role babbled, talking values given daily,

they believe it's really interests that made the welcome round. now at least 34 people happen til in a landslide in north western columbia. unusually heavy rains this year have led the government to declare a national disaster. there had been several deadly landslides caused by reins linked to weather phenomena. la nina. in the latest strategy, a wall of earth crashed down on a bus in the, on this region a bus and adobe he called betty, under dance of mike and dupree rescuers did find from survivors in the grimmest affair come stanford didn't look with one of the we would have got but we were able to rescue alive a 7 year old girl was currently in hospital. unfortunately, we found a blinking to her model. there was also a little boy, a little more than a year old. her brother died in the tragic situation were facing the

landslide hit the highway in north western columbia. catching drivers by surprise. when isn't the night? i didn't feel anything covered, but when i did, the gar will already be run over by the landslide. my god is totally destroyed. scientists say climate change is making the better batten's more erratic, the government thief, heavy rains in columbia at the worst. they have been in for the youth. so far, the fear evans caused by the back by to have killed more than 200 people. now the w correspondent, nicole reese, is in the colombian capital bogota, and she explained how much worse than usual this ranges be. we're looking at hundreds of thousands of people who have been affected by these rains this year in different regions of colombia, and more than 200 people have died in connection to these rainfalls. so i think this together with the pictures that we just saw, gives you

a pretty good idea of just how severe the situation across the country in the different communities is. and it's especially communities in the rural areas, with dirt, roads and a poor infrastructure that up more vulnerable and more effective if we at effected as we've justine in this village. and this is all due to a phenomenon called learning. yeah, which is pretty strong this year. it comes every few years and it basically means that the stronger winds across the pacific here in south america. and they low of the water surface temperature below the normal. and this causes an imbalance in the pressure in the air which causes then these heavy rainfalls. some expos also believe that they are linked to climate change and the heating global climate that make linea stronger than the usual. and here's the look at some other stories making news around the world. latvia has revoked the broadcasting license for

independent russian td channel rain. the regulators said that the license was canceled on the grounds of national security and public order. the channel, which was exiled from russia, called the accusations, quote, unfair and absurd. the move came after it had shown the crimea peninsula as part of russia, among other alleged violations. china has held a state funeral for former leader junk se men who died last week at the age of 96 president. she's in pang led the memorial service of the great hall of the people in beijing. the nation observed 3 minutes of silence. john took power after the tenement square massacre of 1989 and oversaw a decade of explosive growth. ah, took a t r now where brazil are through to the world cup quarter finals after getting south korea for one in the round of 16 in a dominant performance. brazil put 4 goals just that south korea in just the 1st

10 minutes into the 2nd half. paris itched pinpoint header font the bottom corner. 10 minutes later lucca woodridge almost got his side ahead but 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, vacovich became the man of the match. saving 3 penalties before mario puzzle ej scott. the decider. a disappointing end to the world cup for japan, croatia go through to the quarter finals. so who will join brazil in croatia in the quarter finals? possibly morocco. the last arab team remaining in the world cup. the atlas lions neat spain later today morocco's loyal fan base believes having foreign born talent has been an asset. ah, to begin with, almost every team has foreign born players. all our players are 100 percent

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 arab 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. and some fall out from germany's early exit. now from the world cup oliver beer half has left his job as head of the countries football association. a former prolific goal scorer for germany beer half joined the d. f. b in 2004, mainly dealing with public relations for the national team. in 2018, he was promoted to the position of sporting director, which he has now stepped down from after germany's poor showings in 2 straight worlds. cups with fruits usually start muffins, one or quick reminder of the top stories we're following for you here on dw news, the governor of russia's cursed region says that
