ah ah ah ah ah, ah, this is dw news live from berlin. russia blames ukraine for another drone attack this time on an air field near the border. an oil storage facility, at course airport is left in flames. one day after 2 air bases deeper inside russia

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

border with ukraine. but the incident comes a day after multiple explosions of military bases in the sy, in region, and at the angles airbase much deeper inside russian territory. moscow blamed ukrainian drones for those blasts, calling them acts of terrorism. keith has not claim responsibility. earlier i spoke with and rush rock, a security analyst from the german council on foreign relations, who told d w that monday 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 euclidean drones the de drawers would probably be launched from russia. by based on your grain, your special special operations. because these bases are very far away from you can

order. you doesn't have draws of debt range debate recently attack against the region that was probably done by ukrainian growing launch from ukraine. what did a text means that the ukraine is clearly capable of heating, military targets deep inside russia dory. and nic connelly as our correspondent in keith, i asked him earlier what these drawn attacks proved if these drawn attacks proved that ukraine was chained to get strategy and the war i think for now there's basically no 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 letting me put in to explain to russians how it came about . they are now vulnerable that cities close to moscow on now being attacked. and then there's also the question of what this does to russians 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 rush 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 ukranian 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, are there, you know, is there a willingness on the part of you trans west allies to basically put the hand up and say we are giving ukraine. now the capacity not only to strike russian troops and

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 kia things are pretty good. this is of see the best defended part of the country is the capital, but especially in the south place like addresses. equities are close to the front lines close to the black sea where missiles, too busy go undetected. for a long time. situation is a lot worse and desa lodge without power and lots working on there to rebuild. but the definitely the sense that every time you cranes getting better at knocking these russian missiles out of 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 that kind of engineers know what to do, and also your locals are prepared, have charged up. our banks have prepared supplies, water, and food. so there is a sense, even though temperatures are exceedingly cold, to people are getting a handle on this more,

less net connelly and came thank you. european union leaders are meeting and albania to discuss you. membership for 6 western balkan countries aspiring to join the block european commission president ursula funder lion is among the officials and heads of government attending the summit in toronto. membership talk school cover, reinforcing security against foreign interference. and the consequences for the western falcons of russia's invasion of ukraine. i spoke earlier with d. w, brussels bureau, chief, alexandra phenomena who was at the summit and asked her why the region is so important to the e. u. the region is so very important and crucial for the european union, also in the context of russia's warning 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 has repeatedly demonstrated that they consider

the western balkans and environment that they can use to punch back against the european union and the west. in general, russia was accused of attempting a coup 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 survey, 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 big game at this

big battle between democracies and authoritarian regimes. and let's have to listen to what all the law fund a lie, and the european commission president had to say about that. sing mcmann. all this struggle is also apparent in the west mall comes on for the 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 are. do you want to choose another way? what are what? yeah, none. b. so let's talk a little bit more about those ways. alexandra, when it comes to closer ties with you when it comes to e. accession, for example, where do western boston falcon nations 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 for membership in the you. but after years of you know that nothing was happening dead, the exception talks a worse told. now we see some new dynamics during new movements because of the war in ukraine. you has promised to fall coast on this enlargement process. albania, for instance. and north macedonia have started, accession talks, marcia had to governor, has been recommended and as a candidate 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 tarana is going to help them get their t w's alexandra phenomena joining us from albany. and thank you so much. here's a look at some other stories making news. lot via has revoked the broadcasting

license for independent russian tv channel rain. the regulator 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. indonesia, parliament has passed legislation criminalizing sex outside of marriage. the law applies to citizens, as well as tourists from abroad, and mix extramarital sex punishable by a year in prison. the ban is part of a sweeping legal overhaul that strong criticism from civil liberties groups. and what about 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 coordination with counter revolutionary agents in germany and the netherlands. the rest take place as shopkeepers and truck drivers

across iran take part in a 3 day strike that began on monday. ah, rose 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 entered 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. you will, this is a legit amendment and be should be heard wish but 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 a bear, it's much better without the morality police on the street. i'd like to travel. you

see more women walking around without a hitch job. almost like they can decide for themselves, which i think that is an improvement and i need you to take better 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 scraps. the news was recorded, and even if the morality police are scrub this misinformation has, has worked in favor of the room to distract folks to distract the movement, destruct, international solidarity, forming can cause any one who knows. iran knows that the morality police is not the

problem. the head of the 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. and joining me now here in the studio as dw corresponded theresa trapper who has previously reported from the iranian capital to ron, tell us a little bit more about the scale of this strike and whether it's expected to have an impact. well, the strike is certainly like a sure force for the protest movement, because now it's an opportunity for people to voice their opinion that have so far shide away from taking to the streets. for example, older people who feel like they can't run away from the government forces, or people who are afraid of their families might be targeted. or just people who don't want to get killed or arrested. so now for the 1st time we're seeing how widespread support is for protesters and their demands all across the country,

but also in different parts of iran society. because you have to remember at 1st it was mostly people in iran's curtis regions, taking to the streets than women and bigger cities joined in and university students. and now it's workers and businessman all across the country, like including the us, ari's. and that's a force that has a like a famous track record of bringing about political change in iran. so that's certainly something the regime doesn't take likely because it's like a further escalation. and these protests of what does it mean for the regime than now going forward? i mean, can they still hold their position in the face of so much opposition like this? yeah, that's the big question. obviously. i mean, some of them have kind of voiced the possibility that there could be reforms here, or there to counter these protests. but that's all what people want. and also we don't see any signs of that. i mean, we have to judge them by what they do and not by what they actually say. and router

crackdown is still ongoing. so apparently they still think the crack down is the only way to control this protest movement. and that's why people are still being killed on the street or tortured in iran's prisons. and in spite of all of that, people keep telling me that they still are confident that they can actually succeed . they still want to go to the streets until they get rid of the clerics that have been ruling them for decades. and one of the science where you can see that as a famous change, you can hear on iran streets at the moment that's directed towards the regimes forces. and people are changing. be afraid, be afraid we are altogether. oh wow. ok. we seen also several act defines we have to point to from iranian athletes and other celebrities. what impact these have at the moment? well, i'm quite a big one. i mean, protest to see these acts of defiance and support. and whether it's the climber that competed with other mandatory headscarf or iranian actresses that publish

pictures of videos of them without he job. and that also like fuels on to this feeling we're all in this together. we want the same thing. and it's not just the protest as the thing that that can make a difference, but also the islamic republic itself. that's why and as that it can be, for example, the climber was forced to pretend that happened by mistake. and now apparently that the house of her parents got burned down as vent act, and also the actresses have been imprisoned. and we just saw a leak via a famous hacker group where we can listen to revolutionary gods general and media officials talking about the protest at the moment. and they quote a thing here that they're completely failing to win the media war. so concerned within the islamic republic seems to be growing at the moment. ok to isotropic. thank you so much. at least 34 people have been killed in a landslide in north western columbia. unusually heavy rains this year have led the

government to declare a national disaster. there have been several deadly landslides caused by reins linked to the weather phenomena lamina. in the latest tragedy, a wall of earth crashed down on a bus in the andes region. at beth and adobe, he called betty under dance of mike and dupree rescue, as did find from survivors in the grimace of circumstances. didn't look with one ask if we would have got but we were able to rescue alive a 7 year old girl was currently in hospital. unfortunately, we found a clinging to her mother. there was also a little boy, a little more than a year old. a brother they died in the tragic situation were facing the land, slight hate to highway in north western columbia, catching drive us by surprise. when isn't the night? i didn't feel anything coverage, but when i did,

the gar was already being run over by the landslide. my god is doughty destroyed. scientist see, climate change is making the better. batton's more erratic, the government, safe, heavy rains in columbia at the worst. they have been in 40 years. so far this year, evans caused by the back. but to have get more than $200.00 people and d, w correspond, and nicole races in the colombian capital boca tar, and she explained how much worse than usual as rain us be. we're looking at hundreds of thousands of people who have been affected by these rains this year in different regions of columbia. 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 and 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 with 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 lower 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 experts also believe that they are linked to climate change and the heating global climate that make lanyard stronger than the usual. and germany is foreign minister, and alina burbock is on a 2 day visit to india. it is her 1st official trip to the country and 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 d w richard walker reports ah,
