ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw live from burly iran executes a 2nd, demonstrates up who had joined anti government protests. at least a dozen people have reported. they've been given death sentences after taking part in the operation. a lobbying scandal, rocks, therapy,

and comments. we police charge for people including a parliamentary vice president in a probe of alleged bribery by world cup hosting carter and more than a 1000000 ukrainians have fled to germany since the start of the war. but 9 months if there's still a lack of housing and a new studies suggest that germans are increasingly less willing to support refugees. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. demonstrations have been called across iran after a 2nd, a protester was executed by the regime market, razor rock, nevada was detained during anti government protest. he was convicted for allegedly stabbing to security officers to death during these demonstrations. human rights activists say, nearly 5 people have been killed in the nationwide protest and began in mid

september. they estimate at least a dozen people are facing the death penalty for taking part in the protest. and earlier i spoke to cameron martine, he's a senior lecturer on international relations at the university of sussex in the u kept. and i asked him if he was surprised by to ron's brutal crackdown. good morning, you know, i'm not, this was expected and there was jim has been laying ground for this. this killings which by all conventions actually are extra judicial killings. the person who was executed this morning, my visit, i thought i was only arrested 23 days ago. so the whole process from arrest to execution took only more and let them more than 3 weeks. he had no access to independent lawyer. it was a lawyer which was determined by the, by the state. and in fact, and uranium. my rice lawyer claims that given that there was no private plaintiff

in this case, the whole case was brought to the court by the government and actually processed by the government by judiciary itself. it's a sort of state killing. and i should also add that there are other protest us who are actually being killed on the torture in the prison. but the government then claims they have been either committing suicide or they have some other underlying conditions. including for example, mr. shod mom who is a kurdish protest who has been recently, de budget hasn't returned to the to the families. so the killings are actually imprisoned. going in different ways. but as we see and you mentioned that protest already been called against this. and i, i don't see how this unbridled violence could stand, it could actually end the protest because it makes me more center up to you. will it discourage protest as if you risk your life and risk the death penalty was

discouraged, protested, i'm not sure it does because people who go to the streets already prepared for being actually shot at fire security force or something which the government security troops have done for past 3 months, i mean, you, you mentioned in your clips in the beginning that more than 460 people have already been killed. injury in demonstrations, majority of which have been actually fod, that fi i live in during the pro 5 things. people are aware of of the, of the dangers and risks. and they are familiar with the practices of the republic against the position. and i would also on to say that, in fact, the protest or opposition to this execution has reached the highest level within the religious authorities of itself in the home, which is a central kind of jurisprudence. so the government is quite desperate in way

supposedly show a force, but i think it shows more, more desperation on thier rather than no authority and control. now this is a grassroots movement. there aren't any, any clear leaders. how likely do you think it is that they can bring out real change in the nursing change in iran? well, i think this is both a kind of a strength, but also a potentially in short term, i placed a weakness of the movement, the strength because they cannot easily find the leaders and deal with them. and therefore, bring the movement to the end and weakness because it kind of, you know, makes it more difficult to act more strategically to, to be a source of kind of wanting to look at. so for international community and so on and so forth. but i think these are the new kinds of movement we've seen the in the recent times and leadership would emerge from within the movement over time. and

the already seeing the growth of labor, union trade, union students movements and so on. and i think in the longer on this, this might be even better because it reduces the possibility of external and position of particular kind of political program on the movement as a whole. but we have to see how far and for how long the movement can sustain the current tempo has come on that in from the university of sussex in britain. thank you very much. i to a vice president of the european parliament has been charged with corruption over allegations that football world cup host cut up, paid huge bribes to influence you policy. eva kailey has been stripped of her powers, after investigators reportedly found bags of cash in her home. she's one, a full people arrested, so fond connection with a scandal, a massive corruption scandal at the heart of europe that is getting bigger high

level you officials stand accused in an alleged influenced buying scheme by 30. they, one of them is even gaiety. she is one of the parliament's vice presidents. recently ivan gaiety had become a vocal defender of the gulf country or parliament. how are you today of intelligent, high educated people. they helped us to use that tension with turkey. they helped us get sent to save activists. children, women, they helped us and they are peace negotiators. they are good neighbors and partners . guy li, even priest cutter at the front runner in lieber. right. well, a post cut that has faced white criticism for mistreatment of the migrant workers who built new stadiums. got that has denied using any illegal means of loving. guided means in police custody along with 3 other people,

yet she has been suspended from her duties as a vice president, as well as from membership in her back to the galley and other 3 people arrested. have been charged with back to the patient in a criminal organization, money, laundry, and corruption. the scandal is rocking the european union. we are very much heartily concerned with these new but they had to, they had to act accordingly, not only with the facts but the proving evidence that position, ready, ready, ready, grieve, agree such grace and massive corruption and is obviously not only an individual problem, but it really shakes institution and it is an issue that has to be dealt with and on the highest level and in the most agile way now. but after investigation focused on long standing allocations that got there, but influenced to host the work up,

the keith likely to raise questions on how concrete like that there will have access to you. decision maker in the future. liam, i spoke to if you talk to sharon, who is the senior police officer with the under corruption organization transparency international. i asked him whether we are likely looking just at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the current investigation. i mean, what the investigation has showed so far is that not only there's a vice president of the european parliament involved, there's a number of other people, there's administrators, there's assistance, there's former members of parliament. there are people that work for lobby organizations. i mean there's a slew of a different individuals in different positions. so i would definitely not be surprised that there are more people involved. busy as the days go with what we know so far, can you put into perspective the scale of this scandal?

i mean, we have to see that. so for many years, a transference international has been saying that the european parliament has our integrity and anti fraud rules. which should, to a large extent, we have been ignored. but if we consider that the, the, the, the level of influence, that's the, the degree of access that you need to have to, to be able to, to allegedly, b, a bribing, one of the 14 vice president of the european parliament. and that is able to go in plenary and speaking in defense of your positions. i think it's a, it's a very serious situation that we're living. this is unprecedented for the last 20 years, at least. now in the case in quest to, we're looking at possible bribery by a country, the e u lobby register doesn't count the list, country representatives. should this be changed?

yeah, that's true. and we do believe that there should be a mandatory registration of 3rd countries. and indeed, this is a case of elicit lobbying, but i would like to point out that this is not just about loving this a, about the driver re and corruption, it's about ethics. and there is right now, no ethics oversight whatsoever. no monitoring, no sanctions, and all thought to share there from transparency and the national. many things break as i've looked at some of the other stories are making headlines today. peruse no president dina boulevard. he has given him to demands by protesters to bring elections forward. she said general elections will take place in april 2024 overnight. demonstrations turn violent with 2. protesters killed china shutting down a major cove at 19 tracking. up. as it eases

a panoramic restrictions, people will be able to travel again without their movements being recorded. there's been growing criticism over the tough measures that lead to widespread protests across the country. indonesia is looking to reassure tourists that they will not be affected by a new law criminalizing sex outside marriage. officials say the marital status of tours would not be checked. the island of bali had been concerned that the new law could harm at stores, minister o, happy young bal. since october, russia has carried out a series of stripes aimed at crippling ukraine's power grid. against all odds ukraine's engineers have so far prevented a total collapse. but after each new attack, ukrainians have to get through a number of days without power until services restored. and as d w as nick connelly reports after 2 months of practice, they're getting pretty good at it. 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. 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 area in an underground car park. if you need cash, well, need cash. you know, it might take a bit longer without than a t. m. you withdrawal has to be recorded and counted by hand. but it works. it's a close. could you little to quibbling, chick if you don't have a candle and they are getting harder to find the solution unless i take a potato, vegetable oil and some matches. and hey, presto. many ukrainians seeking power into their own hands in cave univer far from the home of generators with

a just aren't enough to go round many for many. this could be the song of the season. it's called the power on, or is it gone this early on in the ukraine conflict, many europeans were until the us stick about supporting ukraine. many of them took in refugees into their own homes, but after 9 months of war, rising food and energy costs, among other factors, attitudes have hardened. a study brother marketo forum of migration and democracy says, a majority of europeans are still in favor of excepting ukrainian refugees, but want stricter limits will also says only 40 percent of europeans favor continued support for ukraine, regardless of the costs. since february, germany has registered just over 1000000 new arrivals from ukraine. the next report

looks adds to women in berlin that have hosted refugees since the start of the war . ah, yes, we are lying. no eat them all alone. we don't give anything away. the day making, biscuits and learning german at the same time. if xena and her daughter victoria have been living in berlin for 8 months. at the beginning of march, they had to flee from the war and ukraine. since then they've been staying with hika or we have enema theater. lucille, if it had been just my mother and me, we probably wouldn't have made it that we have hika. she knows all about the paper work and has taken a lot of time to help us. ya, we really appreciate that. and i'm grateful for it. i don't know what she's saying . but without a the mother and daughter have been very lucky in germany. they live in hikers guest flat with a small kitchen and balcony. the one room apartment is nice enough,

but victoria dear vina dream of their own, for warns. for now they don't want to go back to ukraine. hercules blit, ideally we would like to live in a 2 room flat thought just a bit bigger. it wouldn't have to be so nice or have such of you and i would take any kind of job to be able to pay for it. so you shall youll hikers happy to help them. ha, she gets on very well with the 2 ukrainians, but that they would stay for so long was not the plan. she wants them to find their own flat. also because it would give them more independence as conflicting a fair, many things that the flag is simply too small for. it starts with the washing machine which they use at our place and other things where there's simply too little space on the i have apple would salinas plots if if they have to move out of hikers place there would have no choice but to go into emergency shelters like so

many refugees and germany, finding a flat and berlin is almost impossible. hika has decided to let them stay with her for the time being a needle and place. so we were simply lucky hung, if an angel came down from heaven and we were lucky fellow irina and victoria will be safe here with hiker for the next few months. now let's hear from professor hans for linda is a director of mcarthur forum which committee commission about study a professor fall under your study shows that unconditional support for offering ukrainians. social and economic help is waning across europe. why is that? yes, to do this in social and economic consequences of the war. and i think the consequences a major stress test for the saudi day is ukraine. it has to do

with the energy crisis, inflation. and that's the main reason. according to our survey, only a slim relative majority in favor maintaining support for creating in spite of negative economic and social consequences. but said in i percent of respondents, i would see opposite view. support for your crane should be current or just because of the consequences. now how do you explain that the reluctance to keep helping ukrainians is centered mostly in eastern european countries like hungary, for example, that the check republic good might have to do busy consequences, high prices and business security. and especially in the czech republic and hungary,

a widespread feeling of these consequences. and it has to do is another point. because in check the public and hungary, and in most east central european countries. so task of hosting and providing initial care for images was carried out by volunteers. private initiatives, not by the state. now, they're willing to take in refugees was particularly strong at the beginning. nevertheless, i think concerns about over crowding about rising prices and costs are starting to spread and also increased competition for growth housing. other services and people are exhausted just by taking these measures now. and then your study

concludes that ukraine hasn't prompted a true paradigm shift on european refugee policy. and that's instead, there's more distinction being made now on the basis of someone's origin. tell us more about that. yeah, it's a so the activation of you temporary protection directive for those fleeing war in ukraine was unprecedented. so on the other hand, you're very close cooperation in the very beginning. and it gave the refugees from crane pastor access to housing, labor markets, health care and education. but on the other end, i was survey shows that there is still differences in dealing with refugees

and the a deep. and so why the acceptance of ukrainian refugees finds large approval, the rejection of, as are origins of refugees, of other origins remain very strong. and accordingly, i think the office, you'll shift in east central european refugee policy probably has more to do with the cultural and historical similarity is creating in refugees. and it has to do is a perception of threat of russia as sounds, fallen them. how to form for migration and democracy. thank you very much for your time. your miracle throws, no president, dena bulwark says, says she'll ask congress to bring elections forward, but to use the move follows protest spock by the impeachment. last week of her predecessor, pedro casteel over the weekend demonstrations, turned violent,

peruse, political tension, spilling over his protesters and police clash. these crowds and lima, among thousands of people who turned out across the country, demanding that president, deena boulevard, east, stand down, boulevard. he has only been in the jobs since wednesday. she was sworn in to replace lyft as president pedro castillo after he tried to dissolve congress and was later arrested, outraging his supporters. but he made on alley that at 1st we demand the freedom of our president pedro castillo, 2nd, that congress, this rotten corrupt congress is closed, that a constitutional assembly is convened. and thirdly, that peru declares a state of emergency that i am. the protests escalated over the weekend with deadly clashes in the southern city of under homeless. the crisis prompting bassetti,

a former prosecutor who served as custio's, vice president to announce early elections a this cd blocks. you mean? like i have decided to try and reach an agreement with congress to bring forward the general elections to april 2024. there was me in the coming days i will seem to bill to advance the elections and we were able to reach an agreement and parliament on the finances. but i think comes in flag for us. what has bullied the got it. but if in that the near peruse, right, leaning congress held an emergency session on sunday to discovering the crisis, but had to be suspended after physical altercations broke out, peruse, had 6 presidents in the last 6 is including 3 in a single wake in 2020. the length of tina below at his ladyship to be decided by vote his if peruvians can wait that long ah,

at the woke up in cut all others and no competitor football today, the tournament semi finals are next. with a goal of making it into sundays final for the most important sporting trophy on the planets, argentina will be playing krasier to morrow. doha, in the 1st semi final, then on wednesday evening morocco will challenge the defending champions frost's. well from all the world cup, drama, ws both correspond max meryl is with me from kata max. today's something of a rest day, full play us fans and journalists as well supposedly. so where are you and what are you seeing and cut out today? yeah, we're in the city center of doha, and it is actually only the 3rd rest day of the tournament where there is no action . we've had a jam packed schedule, sometimes as much as 4 games per day. and that's because this tournament has been held in the northern hemispheres windsor,

lots of major leagues across the northern hemisphere having to break up their season. and therefore, this tournament has been congested, basically trying to get it over as quickly as possible. and on these few rest days, we've seen a very different side of though have very empty right now. we're at the cornish, the main hub of activity, usually in tow har in its as you can see, very mc hardly anyone here. and also in the evening time, on rest days it's, it's basically been very sparsely populated. this main boardwalk of doha has been completely close off as has the highway of cornish, much to the frustration of local taxi drivers. and locals have told me that this really disrupts a driving anywhere in guitar. it's sort of the main road that takes you through doha. and even in the evening times is hired entertainments on off days as well, but not a lot of fans here to be entertained. it's very cold and off everything is quite cumbersome to get to these fan festivals. and for me, it's a bit of

a different experience. other tournaments i've been to, even on rest days, it's been quite lively. but here very, very calm, very quiet arrest a gives you of course time for a reflection. tell us what has been your moment of the tournament so far? yeah, i think on and off the pitch. it's been morocco on the pitch, an underdog story that's inspired loads across the world. the 1st african semi finalist ever at a war weld cup tournaments and off the pitch. the fans have just been marvelous. 15000 moroccans live here in could saw and many more tens of thousands expected to be here in guitar roaring them on in the stadiums. but also in the streets after that last when again, cause honking their horns across the streets of dough. how with people leaning out with morocco, flags, and in soup walk, if the main market of doha, a fans gathering not just moroccans and egyptians also saudis and algerians

celebrating together. so while those political tensions between these countries at the fans here have come together, it's been quite marvelous to see. and as i say, an underdog story that we always love to see in football. did habeas boards correspondent max merrill there on his rest day in doha, thank you very much math and that's it from max and me on the whole news, t a don't go away. global $3000.00 is a next looking at the top choices. people are forced to make and types of will have an update for you. at the top off, the god alphas stay with with
