for the make up your room, mind w. 4 minds ah ah ah, this is either the news live from berlin. iran executes a 2nd demonstrator who joined anti government protests, and he said, doesn't people have report leaping given death sentences after taking part in the uprising? also coming up to washers attacks on ukraine's power grids continue, but people there are responding with resilience. when the lights go out

and high level corruption at the european parliament, police reported the charge a vice president of the chamber, the m e p was among the poor people detained on suspicion of taking bribes from world cup post. could tar ah, i'm reading the mohammed, welcome to the program we saw with iran where demonstrations have been called across the country after a 2nd protester was executed. majid reza, runner, vod was detained during anti government protests. he was convicted for legend li, stabbing to security officers to death during demonstrations. human rights activists say, nearly 500 people have been killed in the nationwide protests that started in midst . they estimate at least

a dozen people are facing the death penalty. taking part in the antique vision movement, i spoke to cornelius and a bomb. he is an analyst with the german council on foreign relations focusing on iran. and i asked him what the 2nd execution says about be waning regimes grip on power. and well, this is a sign that the regime is continuing its crackdown. it is, it has 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 sentences. the switch have been handed out, are 2 already around 2 dozen of protest us 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 or whether it is through the security services or through the justice system. because they are

hearing feeling. they're the protestant, whistling down their neck, breathing down their neck and, and they are afraid. this is what is happening by 3 months in and the protest. her still said they're gonna 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 after demonstrations of a revolt. i would even say in its 40 year history of the san mac 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, iranians persons, or whether they are from the minorities, thereby,

lucy's 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 individual people. so it's very bras road, very bottom up. and so i think, i mean, despite the crackdown and the violence, we are going to see more of this now focusing more on the west. and if our 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 press streets and iran that they desperately need that they call for. they would even like to see more off of the 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 their assess denying them visa. again, this is an important sign of wet, 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. kindness at of i thank you very much indeed for your analysis. thank you. he kinds government claims an attack on a russian occupied to town in the 8th of the country has destroyed a regional headquarters for the wagner's military group. he attacked targeted a hotel in the town of cut deep cup, resulting in what official said were heavy losses. the wagner group is a private organization that's been accused of committing war crimes and human

rights abuses has been no independent confirmation. the strike took place a lawyer i spoke to a d, w, a nick connelly in keith. and i asked him for more details about that attack on wagner. h q was always, this is pretty difficult to confirm as you mentioned there because there's no independent journalist on the ground there in russian occupied easton, 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 roster commissioner authorities claim that they 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, a russian mercenaries are staying behind for lines. this is not a 1000000 miles away from back. move the city in east new crane dumbass the to seeing the worst of the fighting, where rushers seemingly desperate to clock up any kind of victory. however small

a can after months of setbacks, months of being pushed back by ukraine in the image is 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 because you know, 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 not a missile system, not something that you know, cost hundreds of thousands 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 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 ukraine. sounds a 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, and 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 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 and 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 you cranes power grid. it 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 he need cash, so diligently such a paint might take a bit longer without than a t m. you withdrawal has to be recorded and counted by hand. but it works. what it's a cut off. could you little to quibbling, chick? if you don't have a candle and they are getting harder to find the solution and muscle take a potato, savaged boil and some matches. and hey, presto. many ukrainians taken power into their own hands in cave univer far

from the hum generators. there just aren't enough to go round many for many. this could be the song to the season. it's called the power own, or is it gone the with now neck, in addition to all of this, the or the city of melli topple has also become a focus of the fighting most recently. just talked to us about why that's the case . well again, we've had a reports over strike this time on what the crane 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 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 you can you still in the role. right. or they've taken steps on. they've taken tens of thousands curriculums as 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 russia's army on the defensive and roll them back even more as we had towards the year anniversary of this war in february to
