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 of to, to add bases deeper, insight, bratia were apparently targeted by drones. we will bring you more about 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 growing anti government protest movement that and at the world cup a convincing wind for brazil. again, south korea, there'll be facing off croatia next in the course of finals. aah! i manage people's mckinnon. thank so much for joining us. reports from russia suggest ukraine could be stepping up its cross border attacks against strategic russian targets. in the latest incident, the governor of russia's cost region says a drone attacked an air field setting an oil storage tank on fire across lies on the border with ukraine. but the incident comes just a day off to multiple explode and is at military bases. and the riots on region and

at the angles. abbeys much deeper inside russian territory. moscow blamed ukrainian drones for those blasts, calling them acts of terrorism. keith has not claimed responsibility for them. and i'll correspond an exam that joins us now from keep imax a jonas act today to drone attacks yesterday. all inside russia. is it clear that ukraine is changing the way that it's fighting the war? it's hard to say at the moment, but let me tell you that this is not the 1st time that ukraine is actually targeted or attacked targets behind enemy lines behind the russian border in their 1st months of the war. the earlier stages of the war, ukrainian helicopters, for example, fall into bug growth, and then all the poll on fire. ever since then, there have been numerous attacks on other other regions. for example,

russian antics crimea by air, drones, by sea drones. but what is new here is that the ukrainians were apparently able to penetrate deep into russian territory. hundreds of kilometers were able to most likely fi drones for hundreds of kilometers without being detected without being intercepted and hit really strategically, very important sites. for example, the angles airbus i just mentioned, an air base that houses long range bombers bombers that are used in attacks against ukrainian cities bombers that can be equipped with nuclear weapons. and this not only shows the ukrainian ability to, to go that far, but also a significant gaps in the russian air defenses. and ukrainian officials haven't yet claimed responsibility for any of these strikes. why is that? that is really hard to say cuz they don't explain these kind of things are the ukranian authorities. they don't claim responsibility and they don't deny at the

same time on the part of this could be a psychological component. components like essentially keeping their poker faces not revealing too much of their strategies, not revealing too much about what type of weapons they are using. are these former soviet weapons, ukrainian weapons or perhaps even even foreign weapons. and i, but we have seen a quite so some trolling by ukranian officials, both online and offline. so it does seem that it does seem that the a lot of that, that the authorities are having a hard time of hiding a hiding their satisfaction with these attacks today is ukraine's armed forces day president lensky used it to travel to the front line in the east, the net region, and when he was there, he bowed to push russian forces out of all of ukraine's territory. can we see this as a sort of a deliberate display of confidence and defiance would

probably did not come as a surprise to many that the president and then she would make an appearance to day and armed forces. day she was there a days after just right after the a did liberation of his on of, of the is u. m a. so m b, he likes to send this message thanks to boost the morale of the troops and to show the people that he's there. i'm even said to day that the next year at the armed forces day, there would be a new hans in the guest and certainly awesome crimea. so we can see is rolling, the troops is boosting the morale out of a very difficult winter, or a mac vendor reporting from k. thanks so much. a russian force as a continuing their shelling of the city of her son and suddenly ukraine. it was liberated a month ago to the joy of many residents who endured 8 months on the russian occupation. a rush is targeting of infrastructure and residential buildings is now forcing many to flee to safer cities. time to get

out of pity and to nina and her children do not feel safe in her son. with below, you can hear the bombing what we love on the 9th floor we have to sleep in the corridor or in the bathroom. we wake up 3 times the night. i'm losing my nerves. many other earth fling, i'd had them mean train station. the authorities are running special dreams to get people to safety. this month heading de keefe, after 8 months of brutal russian occupation. you creegan force if finally we captured her song last month. but the russian military is still on the other site of that in a blue river and residence faith, relentless shelling in the carriage excitement. if by

think it's the 1st time and daneen as children are dicking a train, they can't wait to leave the ward behind. no young, i hope wilton back soon, but i really don't know. maybe it'll take 6 months. i don't know. the train pulled into keith. it's the last stop for many, beth and jeff. but that our deal is far from over. european union leaders, a meeting in albania, to discuss a membership of 6 western balkan countries aspiring to join the block european commission, president or slough on the line, as well as other senior officials and heads of government are attending the summit and to ronna membership talks will cover reinforcing security against foreign into threats. and of course, the consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine for the western mulkins t w's, alexander phenomena, it apps that summit. and she explained to me why the region is so important that

you while the nations there are neighbors. and they are a crucial in the context of rush us war in ukraine. this war has shown that it's important for the european union to counter russia's influence in the region in order to keep its neighborhood safe and stable. and russia has repeatedly demonstrated that they consider the west and balkans conducive environment good for punching bag her against the european union and the west. in general. russia was accused to try to stage a coup in montenegro, for instance in 2016 to prevent that country from joining nato. russia is a supporting separatist minded leaders in bosnia herzegovina. where do we still see ethnic and political tensions? and let's take therapy. for instance,

the country are once to keep good ties with russia at the same time they wants to become a member of the european union, but they didn't support say, you are p and sanctions against russia. so now the you is reaching out saying we want to support you, we want to give you this european perspective. but we also want you to stand with us when it comes to this competition between democracies and authoritarian regimes . but let's have a listen to what was the law fund a lie, and the european commission president had to say, here is a thing, mac mano, this struggle is also apparent in the westmark comes on from russia, is 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 when 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, and then b o, sla funded line that our you expansion isn't of course supported by all e u. member nations that so what are the chances that these countries will be joining the you in the near future? well, i think we really have to say that none of those a countries is likely to join the european union soon because there are political institutions and also their economies are deemed not ready for the membership. we have issues such as corruption, for instance, here in albania, they need to do more to fight corruption, organized crime is an issue or the rule of law situation. so they're not likely to join the european union very soon. however, after the accession process has been sold for years now we are seeing some new dynamics. there is some new movements because of the war in ukraine. so that

countries here in the region in the western balkans, there are hoping that this summit is going to bring them closer to the european union. alexandra, thank you so much. leslie dolly is alexander fun nomine in toronto. and he is a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. latvia has revoked the broadcasting license for independent russian tv channel rain. the regulator said the license was canceled on the grounds of national security in public order. the channel, which was exiled from russia, called the accusations, quote, unfair and absurd. the move came off or did show in the crimean peninsula as part of russia, among other alleged violations. who do indonesia, parliament has passed legislation criminalizing sex outside of marriage. the law applies to citizens as well as to tourists from abroad, and makes extra marital sex punishable by a year in prison. the bound is part of a sweeping legal overhauls that strong criticism from civil liberties groups.

iranian state media is reporting that authorities have arrested 12 members of an opposition network with links to europe. the iranian revolutionary guards accused the group of planning acts of sabotage and coordination with counter revolutionary agents in germany and the netherlands. the rest took place as shopkeepers and truck drivers across thereon are taking part in a 3 day strike that began on monday. right 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. you 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 rare is much better without the morality police on the street a travel. you see more women walking around without a her job. almost like they can decide for themselves, which i think that is 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 scrap. the news was recorded

. and even if the morality police are scrub this misinformation has, has worked in favor of the rooms distract focus, to distract the movement, destruct, international solidarity from forming can 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 of falling short with so many iranians willing to risk their lives and their freedom to call for an end to the regime again. sure, a guy is a campaign of the women's rights in iran, and she told me earlier about the numbers of iranians now joining the nationwide strike, the numbers are quite high. so it's more than 50 cities, big, big cities. we know that participate in the office right now. one of the challenges

to verify the exact number is that the internet connectivity, as you report it before, goes really quickly. it out and it's mostly like right now, you know, only 10 wrong. people don't have the internet under mobile phones. it's the entire no. and then internet access in from it, basically. so they don't have access to the websites that are outside the run. and he cannot send information in this is, and this is a challenge that's been happening to usually takes a couple of days that we get a better picture of the foolish enough is their strike. but even by these numbers that we've seen that with the videos, this is the biggest, this right. that's happened in iran in the last 4 decades. so there are a lot of this content from, from the public. there is the, the legal documents on voice memos that has been hacked by, by the hack davis shows that there is a, there is a lot of support inside iran and,

and the government is really afraid of it. and that's why they're using a lot of violence on the daily basis. the protests in iran, stars is essentially as a leaderless movement, mostly women and girls, protesting can you describe to us how the movement has evolved in the past months? so what has changed? one thing hasn't changed and that's like the role of women and girls and still women are leading the movement in different parts of the park. iran, but one aspect has change and that's the use of, for example, like hand made a little things to be able to push back the security forces that are always there cracking down on people. and that led to a couple of incidents. one important thing was in the beginning of what happened, there was an exclusion in one of the mos in she ross and that led people to the

government to say all this has been done way to prove this as we was completely wrong. and he didn't get any take any momentum, but the government is trying to push the line that the professor r y lens and they're getting lines from outside. and that can easily to executions in iraq. and you're really worried about that for different people. and you actually talked about one of those are the examples that says lighter link to germany. the know most of the times don't even have a shred of evidence for that, but you're worried that they're going to create some applies in a case against some people to create an example and say, oh, if you continue to under series, this is going to happen to you as well make and can we talk about the effect that these protests, the having, in your opinion, how real

a threat on the protests to the iranian regime. so it's really interesting because they're, they're, it's difficult to get into their, their mindset and understand what actually is happening on the ground. but as i mentioned, are activists that are leaking information and we get a glimpse of the fear that is inside the structure. so the supreme leader is really angry that he's clearly the counselor larry, that he is like one of the top advisors in the country. they haven't come out to support him. there is no support from that body of you know, the government and he's like talking about it and asking people to create that momentum and ask them, oh, common publicly support me instead of just being quiet. there is also this content from the previous governments or anyone who's been in government so that we haven't seen that kind of support from bidding duration as well as there's

a lot of financial problems for yes. and especially after 2010, the sanctions iraq, you're in and government has been lying on going around the sanctions to grow y financial games for it. so, and a lot of the times, and we have a spin bill document that they've been sending a big chunk of that money to the outside, iraq, to people, syria and lebanon. and that money line has been cut as well. all right, and again share a guy i'd love to speak to you for long about the free we're out of time. thank you so much here and germany. pediatric hospitals are being stretched to the limit as a surge in respiratory infections. further burdens and already stressed health care system arise in cases of r s v, that the highly infectious respiratory virus that affects babies and toddlers is

making the current shortage of nurses. he felt even more keenly, some hospitals are even struggling to offer pediatric intensive care beds to sick children. is watch germany's health minister call out about how to say about the situation. the day we are addressing the problems at germany's hospital if they have serious problems at the moment, this is evident in the situation at children's hospitals. this is just an example of what this hospital system as a whole is currently dealing with. catalina klein. schmidt is a pediatrician at ladings book university, hospitalized in southern germany, and she told us more about the current situation in javin hospitals. yes, good afternoon and thank you for the invitation. i actually, the current situation is really quick and also i think we have to differentiate a little bit the reasons based on the different pediatric department and humans. so

we as a unit of pediatric hematology, oncology, and spencer transportation, we do not suffer in that entity a department. but we have continued to continuously, let's say, to high occupancy office. so in our department, it's months if not even years that we have almost a complete occupancy of that. which means that currently we are struggling to take new patient and we also are looking for another hospital and to get a bone marrow transplantation for one of our patients. on the other hand, the general pediatrics which is best also unit in our hospital, they really are suffering. the current shortage is in staff and nursing staff. they usually have 18 bands and currently they are used to 10 best. so you can imagine the situation,

their japanese health minutes to set reforms on needed the prioritize people's health of economic factors. now this is something nurses and doctors i believe have been calling on for years. what would you say needs to change 1st? yeah, actually there any changes in the change is needed in the mind in the society and politics, but also in the whole society. i mean, children do not have a lobby. this means that in the last year, when the savings has been perform the easiest part to perform savings on the trade winds because they do not have allowed wallace. they may have parents, they may have video creations, physicians, but they do not have a lot beat behind them. so it was easy to cut there and now we see the results.

the same goes for the nicest, don't decline for it. we don't have a lot of time, but i do wanna ask you reforms obviously take a lot of time hospitals crying out to help. now, what needs to be done to improve things right now? actually the $1000000.00 question. that's not so easy to to find something instantly. i mean, we have sent a lot of us to death. nasa during the highest peak of coal with damage to that department. so are some boys to say maybe some edward nurses can come to the pediatric units in this times where we need to take all the falls as we get to get them. but keep in mind that pediatric nurse is a highly specialized nurses and you need to to have the feeling not dealing with kids. it's, it's different than with as they are not just lead. and you need to to do

it to work with the children. understand helena adults, i kathleen klein. schmidt at the latest book university hospital. thank you so much for your time. you know i come factual ah, to the world cup and guitar now and mondays. action favorites, brazil will meet croatia in the quarter finals off the beating. south korea forced one in the round of 16 in a dominant performance. brazil put full goals, park south korea in the 1st half ritual reach. allison scored his 3rd goal of the tournament before vinicius juniors perfect chip pass to lucas by kato, who puts it in the back of the net. the 5 time world champion, cemented their status as one of the tournament favorites. thought to the lead by star player christiano. rinaldo is aiming to reach the world

cup quarter finals for the 1st time since 2006 when they met when they meet switzerland. it's the final match to determine who advances in cattle. as expected, christiano, rinaldo has a clear fan base behind him. the 37 year old became a 1st male player to score in 5 different rolled cups. portugal finished 4th overall. and when all those debut in 2006, we haven't made it that far in the tournament since switzerland defeated portugal in their last meeting. in this time around the swiss are weary about the threat. rinaldo brings this in. does today? well, we are strong as a unit as a team, although we know there, rinaldo can make a difference in the match. we must prevent him from having the necessary space to do that. but there is no special man marking that we are planning,

but we are well prepared for. we're looking forward to this match. we can see how we can implement our strategy on the pitch. is morgan nathan platforms, income? this could be real. all those last world cup, and despite scoring in portugal opener, many say he's been a shadow of his former self. even his starting role has been a topic of debate. he de leon danya, barcelona, isn't katara his what she had to say about portugal and christiana, rinaldo, head of the match against switzerland. when you talk about portugal, now everyone is 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 off the pitch. we just found out that he probably won't be the captain in this match. so a lot of 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 this will cut, they look pretty presses. 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. done your best to learn and could tell you what she d. w is coming up next in d, w. news, asia, how china's shift away from cost, cuz it restrictions complicates the messaging about the dangers of the virus. the beijing has embraced for years and new laws and indonesia, about sex outside of marriage. is it state over h, or is it what the people want more? i'm next in the daily news asia with melissa chan. i'm and you can syndicate and thank you for watching. ah, with
