9:00 am
ah ah ah ah ha says he, w. news live from berlin. iran executes a 2nd demonstrator who joined anti government protest. at least a dozen people have report sleeping given death sentences of the taking part in the uprising. also coming up with using humor and creativity to
9:01 am
cope with the power cuts and ukraine. we report on the spirit of resilience among ukrainians on the lights go out and high level corruption at the european parliament. police reported the charge of vice president of the chamber. the m e p was among all people detained, or suspicion of taking bribes from the walls up post cutoff. ah, i'm really mohammed walking to the program. we start in iran where a 2nd man has been executed after being detained during anti government protests. but id rather run a vod was convicted over, allegedly stabbing to security officers to death during jap demonstrations. human rights activists say nearly 500 people have been killed in the nation. i protests
9:02 am
that started in mid september. they estimate at least a dozen people are facing the death penalty for taking time in the antique with well, i spoke to cornelius added bar. he's an analyst with the german council on foreign relations focusing on iran. and i asked him what the 2nd execution says about the venue regimes grip on power. and well, this is a sign that the regime is continuing its cracked on it as 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 protestors. 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
9:03 am
hearing feeling the protest, whistling down their neck, breathing down the neck. and they are afraid, this is what is happening by 3 months 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 extensive 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 a lower class or middle class, whether they are from urban or rule areas, or whether they are in mainstream, a majority,
9:04 am
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. also. it's a leaderless 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 to 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 far. so qual, 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 off of the
9:05 am
sanctions. for example, the u. n. a human rights council, the united nations human rights council, the other week decided to dispatch a fact finding mission to iran. first of all, it will be 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, the those responsible for the violence can be prosecuted. this is an important sign . and then again, putting commanders off certain security groups of on you sanctions list freezing the assess, denying them visa. and again, this is an important sign, a web of where, where the west, where the europeans are standing and that they are trying to support with the means that they have available trying to support this revolt. craig, at of i thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you. he claims government claims an attack on a russian occupied town in the east of the country has destroyed
9:06 am
a regional headquarters for the wagner's military group. the attack targeted a hotel, montana, cut deep cup, resulting in what officials had said were heavy losses. that in the group is a private organization that's been accused of committing war crimes and human rights abuses, as be no independent confirmation the strike to place but anyway that t d w is nick connelly who is currently in cave and i asked him for more on those details about that attack on that net 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 ukraine. but we've seen some images on social media of some ruins of mill, obvious fresh destruction on some buildings. and now the local roster commissioner authorities claim that there were actually civilian staying there. that something has been disputed by the ukrainian side. but it seems to kind of fit the broader picture of ukraine's stress she of attacking the place where these russian soldiers
9:07 am
are. russian mercenaries are staying behind 4 lines. this is not a 1000000 miles away from back. move to the city in east ukraine. dumbass the de 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 luna landscapes, huge craters everywhere from shelling. very few civilians left staying there and the ones that are basically hunkering down in their cell is not really leaving their homes. no shops open and busy, no kind of infrastructure still left. and 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
9:08 am
not a missile system, not something that you know, cost hundreds of $1000.00 each time. so allows ukraine to do more of this. and, you know, we've seen the russians claiming to have destroyed these high ma systems time time again. but it seems like a lot of them are still operational and russia has launched a number of strikes on ukraine's power greater. would you have a mat? 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 more or less kind of stable. you have few hours without power and 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. there been some messages, some statement saying it might take months to repair lots of kind of
9:09 am
a panic that, you know, people basic 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. a let's have a look at sir. how this is looking at 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. why pass up on your regular medical? just because there's no power and you hiding from an air raid in an underground car park. if you need cash, what 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
9:10 am
hand. but it works. well, it's a close. could you little the quibbling, chick, if you don't have a candle and they are getting harder to find the solution and muscle take potato, so vegetable oil and some matches, and hey, presto. many ukrainians seeking power into their own hands. concave univer far from the hum of generators. but there just aren't enough to go around. many, for many, this could be the song for the season. it's called the power own, or is it gone with now neck. in addition to all of this, via 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. again, we've had a reports of a strike this time on what the crane say was a base of russian or chechen fighters within the russian army. and again,
9:11 am
an attack on place they were staying with 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 eastern since you've had saw, this is on the kind of corridor between crimea, the land corridor 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 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 with the definitely is a sense that ukraine is still in the role. right. or they've taken steps on. they've taken tens of thousands quick lumps is of church in the last few months and
9:12 am
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 year, the year anniversary of this war in february t w. 's at nick connelly and he thank you so much, nick. well, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. peruse new president denot bully was a, has given and to demand by protest is to bring elections forward. she said general election should take place in april 2024. overnight. demonstrations turned violent with 2 protest is confirmed to have died. us and scottish authorities say the libyan man accused of making the bomb that blew up pan am flight one or 3 oven lockerbie in scotland. in 1988 has been taken into custody of a gala muhammad, my suit was charged by the us for the bombing 2 years ago. all 259 people on board

9:15 am
international law. well, the dublin brussels bureau chief, alexandra von, nominate, following the story for us. and earlier i asked how, what the prosecution is saying about the evidence gathered so far. 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 over the course of the weekend turn turned up 600000 euros. bags of cash were reportedly found in the home of eva k lee, and that's of course, a very damaging. according to the prosecutors, 4 people were charged with participating in a criminal organization, money laundering, and a bribery. and even though the prosecutors are not pointing fingers,
9:16 am
katara stands accused of her, of bribing. the suspects in order to influence the european parliament decisions are katara. that is now hosting the soccer world cup or a country that has been facing a lot of her criticism and allegation is, are, for instance, when it comes to the question how they got the right to host the world cup or when it comes to their 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 about this all the tar mission to the european union. and they have issued a statement to denying all the allegations saying that they are baseless, that they are gravely images, lads, that they do not have anything to do, that they are complying with international law, et cetera. but of course,
9:17 am
when we take a take into account, the massive allegations of their de katara government was facing in the past. you can imagine that 3rd, there will be many people not trusting that statement. of course he dudley's alexandra nomine in brussels. fast, thank you. so much how china's government's decision to ease some of its clover 19 restrictions comes as a relief, especially for business owners who have struggled under the harsh 0 covert policy. but residents are cautious about the new found freedoms. meaning some businesses are still finding it hard to attract customers. after 3 years of stringent cove, at 19 restrictions, chinese resident a re discovering the freedoms. but the businesses in the city of chung do a return to pre pandemic levels of customers. still a long way off and on, and it's really tough, really tough. we can't do business this way anymore. now that things have opened up
