8:00 am
ah ah ah ah, this is, these are the news my but from berlin, iran execute a 2nd demonstrator who joined anti government protests and he's a dozen people have report sleeping given death sentences after taking part in the uprising. also coming up with using humor and creativity to cope with power cuts and ukraine to report on the spirit of
8:01 am
resilience among the ukrainians. when the lights go out and slash down orion, the uncross nasa capsule returns to us. that puts the us space agency one step closer to getting astronaut back to the move. ah, i mean a mohammed, welcome to the program. in iran, a 2nd man has been executed after being detained during anti government protests, but you'd rather run a vod was convicted over, allegedly stabbing 2 security officers during demonstrations. after this, saying that nearly 500 people have been killed and nationwide protests that began in mid september. they asked me to at least a dozen people are the death penalty for taking part in the anti regime movement.
8:02 am
while it moving on to ukraine, ukraine's government claims an attack on a russian occupied town in the east of the country has destroyed a regional headquarters for the wagner's military group. the attack targeted a hotel and a ton of had div car, resulting in what officials said were heavy losses. the wagner group is a private organization that's been accused of committing war crimes and human rights abuses. this be no independent confirmation at the strike happened. while the less was over to my colleague nick holly, who is in keith. hi, nick. so what do we know about this current attack on the wagner group? h q? was always this is pretty difficult to confirm as you mentioned there because there's no independent journalists on the ground there in russian occupied easton
8:03 am
ukraine. but we've seen some images on social media of some ruins of me are so obvious, fresh destruction on some buildings. and now the local russia, racial authorities claim that they were actually civilians staying there. that something has been disputed by the ukrainian side, but it seems to kind of fit the broader picture of ukraine's stretch of attacking the place where these russian soldiers are. russian mercenaries are staying behind for lines. this is not a 1000000 miles away from back. move the city in east new crane dumbass to seeing the worst of the fighting, where rushers seemingly desperate to clock up any kind of victory. however small it can. after months of setbacks, months of being pushed back by ukraine and the images coming out of that part of the country are devastating just kind of lunar landscapes, huge craters everywhere from shelling. very few civilians left staying there and the ones that are basically hunkering down in their sellers, not really leaving their homes, no shops open and basically no kind of infrastructure still left. and yet,
8:04 am
we believe that this was carried out with the help of the high mas rocket artillery system. that's basically the bit of american kit that has made the biggest difference. this is something that allows ukraine to hit targets, 7080 kilometers away with pretty goods in accuracy, very kind of good ability to actually strike targets without veering off course and relatively low cost. this is not a missile system, not something that you know, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each time. so allows ukraine to do more of this. and it doesn't seem the russians claiming to have destroyed these high ma systems time time again. but it seems like a lot of them are so operational and russia has launched a number of strikes on ukraine's power. great. what do you have on that? well, that's definitely it. pretty important. as you can see, it's very cold here. this is even by ukrainian sands are pretty cold winter normally the kind of snow and the long frost sony relics kick in after christmas kind of january, february time. and we are seeing lots people now without power here in key of it's
8:05 am
more or less kind of stable. you have few hours without power and then the power comes back on. but in odessa, in the south, the country they've had a few strikes the last few days. we heard several $100000.00 homes still without power there. and no real clarity about when it's coming back. that been some messages, some statement saying it might take months to repair lots of kind of a panic that, you know, people basically would have to leave the reason for the winter. but broadly, people are getting used to this uncertainty are getting used to living without power and having to kind of organize their lives around it. or let's have a look at it. how this is looking in how ukrainians are spending their hours and days without power. it can be a couple of hours or a couple of days. it can be 3 hours off, 3 hours on power cuts from russian missile attacks when ukraine's power grid. a difficult to predict. the one thing that usually does keep working. it's the mobile phone network. that's made people go online when everything else is off.
8:06 am
why pass up on your regular medical? just because there's no power and you're hiding from an area in an underground car park. if you need cash, what he need, cash, what do you live in? any such a paint might take a bit longer without an a t m. you withdrawal has to be recorded and counted by hand. it works. but what gets a close? could you little to quibbling? chick, if you don't have a candle and they all getting harder to find the solution, the muscle take a potato, so vegetable oil and some matches. and hey, presto. many ukrainians taking power into their own hands. and cave univer far from the hum of generators. there just aren't enough to go around many, for many, this could be the song for the season. it's called the power on, or is it gone the with
8:07 am
now neck, in addition to all of this is the city of melli topple has also become a focus of the fighting most recently. just talk to us about why that's the case. well again, we've had a reports of a strike this time on what ukraine say was a base of russian or chechen fighters within the russian army. and again, an attack on place they were staying. but this kind of seems to be at least what the ukraine army wants us to talk about. there's been lots of suggestion that this could be based the next focus. this is slightly east of certificate. so this is on the kind of corridor between crimea, the land court oh, between crimea and russia, proper suggestion here that ukraine might try and kind of break that corridor into by heading south and taking back more territory. i think it's worth being a bit cautious in the past when you have too much in the way of kind of open claims and have suggestions that this is what ukraine's home is going to do. next. they've ended up doing the opposite all to the summer. they were talking about that song and then they end up heading towards had given that part of the country. there's
8:08 am
a kind of feeling that maybe this is a kind of diverse re tactic. this is what they, what the russians and all of us talk about while planning something else. but the definitely is a sense that ukraine is still in the role. right. or they've taken steps on. they've taken 10000 square kilometers of church in the last few months and they're not going to wait now for the winter. they're not going to give russia a chance to restock and resupply. they're going to keep on going. in spite of this weather and hope they can keep near or rush his army on the defensive and roll them back even more. and as we had towards the year anniversary of this war in february t w 's at nick connelly and he thank you so much, nick. well, let's set cost back to the top story and discuss the situation in iran when a 2nd to protest her has been executed after he was detained during those anti government protest of a protest. so let's i get more now from cornelius, add a bar. he is an analyst with the german council on foreign relations focusing on
8:09 am
iran is good to have you with a c d w news. so a 2nd protest or has now been executed. first of all, what are your thoughts on this? thank you and well, this is a sign that the regime is continuing. it scroll down, it is, it is done. so in the streets for the past 3 months, it has used indiscriminate and also very targeted violence and it is now following up on the death sentence. a switch have been handed out to already around 2 dozen of protesters or a legit protesters. and we've seen the 2nd execution now, so they are serious about it. and we have to expect that they will continue to use violence whether it is through the security services or through the justice system . because they are hearing feeling the protest, listening down their neck, breathing down the neck and they are afraid. this is what is happening by 3 months
8:10 am
in the protest. i still say they're going to continue to take to the streets. do you see a force changing within the country here? i think what one has to recognizes. i mean, 1st of all, 3 months, as you say, this is a considerable amount of time. iran hasn't seen you know, such extend of processes of demonstrations, of a revolt. i would even say in a 40 year history of the sammy republic. so this is already remarkable and, and they have come together under a banner of a midlife freedom, which is again something new which is something which unites the people that are demonstrating whether they are lower class or middle class, whether they are from urban or rule areas whether they are in mainstream, a majority, iranians persons or whether they are from the minorities or belushi and the kurtz. so this is really something which, which is remarkable and which has gained some momentum. they are changing tactics.
8:11 am
also, it's a leader las moment for the movement for the moment, which has been good to some extent because, and also the regime con target is just in vigil people. so it's very bras road, very bottom up. and so i think, i mean, despite the crick down into violence, we're going to see more of this now focusing more on the west. and if foreign ministers will be meeting in brussels, discuss imposing more sanctions. what difference is this making? well, it definitely makes a difference in the way these protest this revolt is being seen. so 1st of call, international attention. international recognition is something that the people are taking to the streets risk their lives on the streets and iran that they desperately need that they call for. they would even like to see more of the sanctions. for example, the un human rights council, the united nations human rights council, the other week decided to dispatch a fact finding mission to iran. first of all,
8:12 am
the difficult to get people into the country. but again, having people document the crimes committed by the regime. having this done for a later stage, when people can be prosecuted, that those responsible for the violence can be prosecuted. this is an important sign. and then again, putting commanders off certain security groups of unused sanctions as freezing the s. s denying them visa. again, this is an important sign. wet, wet, wet, wet, wet, a, europeans are standing and that they are trying to support with the means that they have available trying to support this revolt. clean this out of our thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you. while i take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world, at least 2 people have died in peru during protests calling for the country's new president to step down. violence broke out in the capitalist. thousands of demonstrators took to the streets some clashing with police. us and

8:14 am

8:15 am
we have to make sure this process was an influence spark corruption. we also have to show that an attempt to attack democracy has tough consequences, including not easing the visa process, or the quality meetings between the european parliament and guitar, such as the trip planned for december have been cancelled. victoria government has rejected accusations of bribery insisting it works solely within the framework of international law. well, let's get more on this with des, brussels bureau chief alexandrovna norman. and i found out what more do we know about these alleged bribes involving guitar and the vice president eva kylie. while according to belgium, prosecutors to suspects in this case, were paid large sums of money and offered substantial gifts to influence the european parliaments or decisions. and the raids that were conducted by the police
8:16 am
over the course of the weekend turn turned up 600000 euros. bags of cash were reportedly found in the home of etha k lee. and that's of course, a very damaging, according to the prosecutor. as 4 people were charged with participating in a criminal organization, money laundering, and a bribery. and even though the prosecutors are not pointing fingers, katara stands accused of her, of bribing or the suspects in order to influence the european parliament's decisions. katara that is now hosting the soccer world cup or a country a dad to has been facing a lot of her criticism and allegation is are, for instance, when it comes to the question how they got to write to host a world cup or when it comes to the conditions under which a migrant workers were building the countries stadium. so now a katara is allegedly behind all of this. and what are the katara authorities said
8:17 am
about this all the tar mission to the european union. and they have issued a statement, her denying all the allegations saying that there are baseless that they are and gravely images lads, that they do not have anything to do, that they are complying with international law, et cetera. but of course, when we take a take into account the massive allegations of that, the qatari government was facing in the past. you can imagine that 3rd, there will be many people not trusting the statement. of course, he dudley's, alexander bonham and in brussels foss. thank you so much. time is government's decision to ease some of its covered 19 restrictions comes as a relief, especially for business owners who have struggled under the harsh 0 covered policy . but residents are cautious about their new found freedoms. meaning some
8:18 am
businesses are so finding it hard to attract customers up to 3 years of stringent cove. at 19 restrictions, chinese residents are rediscovering their freedoms. but the businesses in the city of chung do a returned to pre pandemic levels of customers. still a long way off again, and it's really tough, really tough. we can't do business this way anymore. now that things have opened up and it also means the repository of covered cases are all out. well, no one comes to the restaurant. beijing is still adjusting to there's a sense of cautiousness here. people in the capital getting used to the new rules which include being able to quarantine at home around your scenarios. and i think everyone in be doing is going to be infected. eventually young. it's only a matter of time on her own that has become a common thing. know if you are infected, good treatment, if you are not infected,

just carry on with your life. big another. widespread priorities pushed china's government to finally let go of its 0 covert policy. now having spent years stressing the health risks of the corona, virus, or authorities, or trying to reassure people this interview on chinese state tv, pointing to the world health organization for a more positive picture during the last several miles. so because i see the publisher all you, my opinion is gary wario optimistically. bob future eyes the recent announcement a follow up from a lead or his story about it, but we are very close to that date as out of it. jose covian, my team will not be a global and then, and the throttle that we may be that the swift change in policy may take longer to become a reality. as anxiety about the corona, virus and jaws. nasa's or ryan capsule has slashed down
8:20 am
safely in the pacific ocean off the coast of mexico. it was returning from a 25 day test flight around the moon. the uncross mission wraps up phase one of nasa's new. ought to miss luna program which aims to put astronauts back on the moon by 2025 to think america's new ticket to ride to the moon and back pair shooting into the pacific ra nasa's capsule or ryan of makes it splashed down or of nasa journey to the moon, i'm still close or ryan, back on earth. 3 weeks ago or ryan was blasted off to the moon, carrying mannequins was as part of a test run called our to miss one. we run the data that's retrieved from a ryan will help unlock the new era of space exploration by and i don't think any one of us could have imagined the mission, the successful. but we had a very successful flight test. we now have

8:22 am
a very, very large universe out there. 50 years after the i conic apollo 70 mission. nasa is one step closer to setting up camp on the moon than what alo, we asked astro biologist keith cowan, to explain why it's taking so long for human kind to return to the moon. well, you know, i remember those landings when i was in high school, so there's half a century between that me in this me. and if you look at what has happened in terms of what we can do in this world. now you may have things that look similar, like, you know, the old volkswagens had that shape and the new ones do this capsule looks like the old ones, but it can do many things that you could not do with the apollo capsules. so that's the most important thing. the 2nd thing is, the way we're going back to the moon this time without racing, the soviet union. we're going back and planned fashion that will go back again and
