ah, we don't do something our children won't be able to enjoy fresh air. review this week on d w. ah, ah ah, this is the w 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 cost gap port has left inflated just one day off to, to add bases deeper inside russia were apparently targeted by drugs will bring you

more about the cross border escalation. also coming out the show of solidarity in iran, shopkeepers and truck drivers, go and strike to demonstrate their support to the growing anti government protest movement that ah, i many gives mckinnon. welcome to the program. 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 attacks and airfield setting an oil storage tank on fire course lies on the border with ukraine. the incident comes a day off to multiple explosions at military bases in the riots on region and at the angles. the air base much deeper inside russian territory. moscow blamed ukrainian drones for those blasts, calling them acts of terrorism. keith has not yet claimed responsibility. a

correspondent mcsaunder has more now on the use of drones and attacks on russia and whether they mark a change in tactics for ukraine. it's hard to say at the moment, but let me tell that this is not the 1st time that ukraine is actually targeted or attacked targets behind enemy lines and behind the russian border in their 1st months of the war. the earlier stages of the war, a ukrainian helicopters, for example, full into bug or then 2nd all the poll on fire. and ever since then, there have been numerous attacks on other other regions. for example, russian antics crimea. i'm by air, 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 fly 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. or these former soviet weapons, ukrainian weapons or perhaps even even foreign weapons. and i,

but we have seen quite so some trolling by ukranian officials, both online and offline. so it does seem that it does seem that a lot of that, that the authorities are having a hard time of hiding. a highlander satisfaction with these attacks today is ukraine's armed forces day. president lensky used it to travel to the front line in easton vignettes 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 today, an armed forces day. and she was there a days after or just right after the liberation of class on of, of is u. m a. so m b, he likes to send this message, likes to boost the morale of the troops and to show the people that he's there. i'm

even said to day that next year at the armed forces day there would be in lieu hans in the guest and certainly awesome crimea. so we can see his railing the trucks, his boosting. the morale had a very difficult winter, or a mac fender reporting can came. thanks so much. the russian forces are continuing their shelling of the city of hudson and southern ukraine. it was liberated a month ago to the joy of many residents that endured 8 months under russian occupation. the rushes targeting of infrastructure and residential buildings is now forcing many to flee, to say, to cities. time to get out of the city. and to nina and her children do not feel safe in her son. with below, you can hear the bombing where we live on the 9th floor. we have to sleep in the corridor or in the bathroom. we wake up 3 times

a night. am losing my nerves. many others fling, i'd had them mean train station. the authorities are running special dreams to get people to safety this month heading to give after 8 months of brutal russian occupation, you creegan forces finally recapture to her song last month. but the russian military, if still on the other site of the den, it brought over and residence faith, relentless shelling, and again, each excitement is buzzing. it's the 1st time and turning as children are dicking a train. they can't wait to leave the ward behind noon youngest. 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 passengers. but that our deal is far from over. european union leaders are missing in albania, to discuss membership for 6 western vulcan countries. european commission, president of la funder lion, as well as heads of government attending the summit in toronto. membership talks will cover, reinforcing security against foreign interference, and the consequences of russia's invasion of ukraine for the western bolton's t w's. alexander phenomena is at the, at that summit. and she explained to me why the region is so important for the e. well, 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 to minded leaders in bosnia herzegovina. where did 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 want 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

an opposition network with links to europe. the iranian revolutionary god accused the group of planning acts of sabotage in coordination with counter revolutionary agents in germany and the netherlands. the arrests took place as shopkeepers and truck drivers across iran are taking part in a 3 day strike that began on monday. i 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 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 legitimate demand 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 where it's much better without the morality police on the street. right. okay. travel. you see more women walking around without a hitch job. almost like they can decide for themselves on 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 scrap. the news was reported. and even if the morality police are scrub this misinformation has,

has worked in favor of the rooms distract folks to distract the movement, destruct, international solidarity, forming because anyone who knows iran knows that the morale do 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 hold for an end to the regime. ah, it's to the world cup and guitar now and, and monday's late game favorites. brazil will meet crecia in the quarter finals. that's off to basing south korea $4.00 to $1.00 in the round of 16 in a dominant performance. brazil put 4 goals, half south korea in the 1st half reach. allison scored his 3rd goal of the tournament before vinicius junior's perfect chip path to lucas,

a cater who put it in the back of the net. the 5 time. well, champion cemented their status as one of the tournament favorites. in portugal led by star player christiano. rinaldo is aiming to reach the quarter finals for the 1st time since 2006. that's when they meet switzerland as the final match to determine who advances in cattle. ah, ah. as expected christiano, rinaldo has a clear fan base behind him. the 37 year old became a 1st male player to score and 5 different ruled cups. portugal finished 4th overall and when all those debut in 2006, they 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 isn't just used to 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 and we can see how we can implement our strategy on the pitch. is morgan nelson platform doesn't come. 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 w danya barcelona, is in kentucky and here's what she said earlier about portugal. and that star christiana rinaldo had of them, that chicken switzerland. 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 off the 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 has a really good side. and so far they haven't actually let that affect them in his will cut. they look pretty impressive. now switzerland are not going to make it easy for them. of course, they're very difficult sight 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. what was done? you also luna, in katara. and with that you are up to date d w. news asia with my colleague melissa chan is up next time and it goes to mac and an invalid. i'll see you at the top of the next hour hour on the melting reporter tracks down the arctics. major players with lucy rouse begins a dangerous game.
