this is dw news live from berlin tonight ukraine hit by more russian air strikes. at least 3 explosions have been reported to the capital. keep other targets include the r keith end of does or regions millions remain without power. to not also coming up, criticizing her uncle, the niece of a wrong supreme leader has condemned his regime as nationwide. anti government protest continued, and a giant aquarium inside a hotel here in berlin. burse, releasing a 1000000 leaders of water. it's devastating the lobby of a downtown hotel. the huge tank was home to 1500 tropical fish.

lou ah, i bring. gov is good to have you with us on this friday. ukrainian authorities say that russia has launched another major missile, a tag on energy facilities, an infrastructure of several explosions of struck the capital of keep other targets include. the har heaved and desert regions. the ladies drawings come as ukrainian military and civilian leaders warned that the kremlin is preparing for a new wide scale offensive as early as january rushes, relentless attack son, ukraine returned to the capital to day plumes of smoke rising and keep them at one of moscow's most intense bombardment, since it launched its invasion as explosions sounded across the city, residents rushed to take refuge under ground. the keeps subway had some of the

deepest stations in the world designed to act as bomb shelters and times just like these. with the attacks forcing trains to be cancelled stations were still packed with people seeking safety and solidarity. this man bursting into renditions of ukrainian folk songs to keep spirits up, go through the dora passing time and bomb shelters, now routine for many with

3 hours. oh, ukrainian authorities say russia launched 70 missiles across the country, while the majority was shot down by air defense systems, 2 people were killed in the city of trevi rear. ha, keep city was all so hard, hurt with officials describing colossal damage to infrastructure. had 2nd, how're energy infrastructure, make him people suffer. you are in the winter time. that's a ball genocide of our nation. but i must admit that our moral is extremely strong and we will never surrender. the attacks are unlikely to ease over the coming weeks that ukrainian defense shapes predicting russia will launch a new offensive early next year. that could include a 2nd attempt to take keys. would either be as big connolly as in keith. he told us

more about today's attacks or different standards started with a lot of bangs here in key or something we hadn't had quite some time. oh, seemingly that was air defense system here working. but pretty close to us in the center of give. this is a real sign that russia still has many more cruise missiles and other options as spousal than ukraine would want. we've heard from the grain or thirty's, they say they were able to deal with, were able to shoot down about 3 course. the missiles that were launched against ukraine fe 60 out of 76, but it does seem to especially outside of t of where the defense of better lots of student talks been hit, lots of power outages here in central. keith is still quite a bit of power. you might be able to see some lights on behind me, but holds weights of care of all without power, without water. and is a pretty grim evening here in kiff at a time where i had seemed like these attacks were kind of fighting down. that was nick connelly, they're reporting from keith. i'm joined now by adama tila soccer. i'm also an expert on russian security and development at king's college in london is good to

have you with this, these attacks today that we've seen on ukraine's power grid on the civilian infrastructure. it does all looks like just, you know, more of the same that we've been seeing from russia. how successful had these attacks been so far when i mean, compared to a few days ago, and these are tax her when only probably successfully, i would say, i mean a few days ago they were not very successful. but as somebody says something different, it crated and a half hit certain certain points which are very cold and some seek is a dog. so this is sort of his relentless attack which, which has an impact on the role of o energy infrastructure. i'm sort of the civilian population and also the industrial base on the side of the lpg of ukraine to continue operating effectively . but i think that, you know, with i asked to florida, i systems and have been so far delivered to and it was the ability that edition

that edu, thank systems are, are being st. i think ukraine's in a much better position now than it was, you know, a month ago when he's very good attacks, not to ukraine shows that he had shot down 60, out of the 76 russian missiles that were fired by russia. today the numbers appeared to be improving ukrainian air defense. it seemed to be getting better. is that how you see it? yes, i think that are, you know, the support that is being provided by company such as germany with their own defense systems. so it seems that ukraine is getting slowly the support that he needs on. it's able to protect it safe. i'm much better. i of course, we know that suddenly says enter the area of key if but overall, i think there is a success rate that reaches maybe 78 percent and that's, that's very high. it's very unfortunate because somebody sons are stu,

are coming through i. so alpha was a cause at quite a lot of damage. it is also important to remember that sometimes when businesses are hit at in the air that can cause degree. and that can have also a implications because they can fall on the civic and population or on sci fi entering things. so he thinks it is a very dangerous situation. ah, but you know, from the ukrainian perspective, the situation has improved significantly in relation to what it was, you know, maybe a month ago when maybe 50 percent of all the new sites were able to do at which the origin of targets and an element of military assistance that ukraine gets that doesn't get on talked about a lot, it's training. we know that the british have been training ukrainian forces and now the americans say that they are going to increase the numbers that they are trained here in germany. be what will that look like? i think this is also very important development because the commitment from the

united states from the pentagon is going to be sort of this regular training mechanism of praying and unfold safe federal data security assistance group of ukraine. excuse me, that is going to be carried out in germany and it, it will involve sort of company on battalion sized units to carry out coordinated attacks in the banking field. so that's really very important. it's not only some training forces to implement or to carry out to be able to, to operate the equipment that is provided by the united states, but also to carry out more offensive operations. and of course, there is going to be training for the use of their so called nature me. so are, which are going to be very important, you know, to intersect a ration of a stick on who's in the sense that patrick, me says they are advanced, long range air defense systems. i was like running on high high on to jude on so

they can be very effective at hitting or incoming missiles, a much sort of closer distance to the origin of that. so i think these pretty training of this and paid church systems as well. so that, that is something very positive funding and respects that that's true. that's true . i mean, i think a battalion of the patriot missiles requires 90 to 100 soldiers to operate. so they definitely will need to increase the numbers and training their government. hillis, i got a motor from king's college one and we appreciate your time and your insights tonight . thank you. iran has condemned the european union for imposing new sanctions over the regimes. response to the current wave of anti government protests. brussels announced the measures targeting the country state broadcaster, its army chief commanders of the revolutionary guard, as well as when senior claret protests have swept across iran since the death in police custody of a young iranian kurdish woman. back in september 11. people have been sentenced to

death in connection with the demonstrations and the 1st 2 were executed. just this past week. more than 18000 people have been arrested. including close family members of a ron's supreme leader, ayatollah harmonies. niece is one of his harshest critics. ah, it's difficult to get a full picture of life in iran right now, but when a video is published, the eyes of the world are on it. not since the islamic revolution have the iranian people made, their voices had so loud and clearly and at such great risk to their lives. ah, hawkins, i'm on on among the fiercest critics. the supreme lead his own niece. no more varied aim would at canny has spoken out harshly against her uncle, and called on foreign governments to cut all ties with terror on the unit. the for joe. a is on how young are they?

that cannot, and i free people be with us and support us that you government stop supporting this mattress and child killing, raising on dangerous words in the atlantic republic. oh, when she was arrested for i redeem what at kenny is currently in jail and heron, where according to her lawyer, she'll spend the next 3 years opposition to the supreme lead. it runs in the family very day mode at kenny's late father was a prominent critic of the iranian regime. her brother is an activist letting an exile in france. this bunch of the i toys family doesn't want anything to do with his hotline religious policies or his crack down on descent. ah, the unrest in iran has been going on for 3 months, and the rate on the streets has only increased in this video. people in tehran can be heard chanting,

i'll kill who ever killed my brother and death to the dictator after man was executed for his role and the protest. oh, it's tiny glimpses into iranian life like this one that show you that the ultimate determined isn't enough to silence the rainy people. oh, the ayatollahs and family it, we just heard the nice of iran supreme leader condemning her uncle's government. her brother has been just as vocal, he's been doing it from france, lock mode. moran. connie is an anti regime activist. he's lived in paris for more than 20 years. he was responsible for publishing his sister's video message of mr. murat connie sat down with d. w's farsi department for an exclusive interview. he told us why he feels. the last 3 months of protests have been so important. monday we're gonna have an onion, how to do that. if a use of iran, the have now realised all you that what this regime said about the former regime,

someone was a lie it or what is that? my mom jojo, her desk is for. they have told many lies, listen and now they are lying about their daily routines. elena, need on, along with her about the economy, she resumed. edward, there is you miss about everything to rule will do. and of course, about political issues, news done worthy. i had to lose my leave with this. they killed people in the street. is that more than, i mean? and then they say those people had a stroke and died on her deductible. nicholson young with this one sick, thicker than moda. but i'm joined now by gilda. so maybe she's a journalist, specializing in middle east affairs. it's good to have you on the program, the the executions and the death sentences of the intent we would assume is to scare to deter the protesters. but it seems that they're having actually the opposite result that was to be expected and little that because the past 3 months we have seen the same level of cruelty immortality on the streets

and the prisons. so of course executions are something new in this, in this era. the protests that iran is, the country with the highest execution rate. we're on the lines of this is nothing new to the iranian people. and so to leave that don't raise of the people as we just heard, is just going to increase with these executions. and i don't think that the purpose of this execution is that the regime is why they're doing them is gone to me here. and i don't think that's going to stop the people from protesting. we know that some she or clerics have been openly questioning the legal basis for these executions. if we've got growing discontent among clerics, if we've got that being shown open and outward to the public, could that contribute to the regimes possible demise?

i do believe that this is the real sign of discontent within the regime within, within the circles of the, of the highest range is off the regime. i don't think this will mean that in the next couple of months the will rina's gonna fall, but it does goes to show that the world watching the cruelties because none of them are new, right. so for 44 years, the same things that been going on in run, but for the 1st time the world is actually watching daily, everything that has as being done as being looked at by the whole world. and this is something new for the people in the regime. they don't usually get their hands dirty. they don't usually know what exactly is going on with the food and the, the crimes that are happening now. they do see that and they do feel watched, and so i think we can expect more science back this coming up, albeit, this is not gonna change the course of the christian. i believe we know too that these protests are not just people in marching,

but also talking about nationwide strikes. this is hitting the country's economy. is it possible to, to say how long the government, the regime can afford for these protests to continue that is difficulties and difficult to same. we have seen that the currency has really fallen very steeply. we do have to remember though, and this is a fact that the people in the within themselves, they're very, very rich. so, so they're not gonna like any money. but the poverty is, is blatant in the, in them and within the people. so i do believe that the economy sector, economic factor will play a role, but how much and how it's really gonna stop the repression, or if it's gonna influence the course that the machine is going to take. i, it's hard to me. journalists, gilda is a heavy. we appreciate you taking the time to offer your insights to night. thank you. thank you. nearly 20 people including several children,

have died following a landslide in malaysia. the landslide tore through a camp site about 50 kilometers north of the capitol, colon forward. official say the camp site was operating without a license. rescuers erasing defined possible survivors as more than a dozen people remain missing. but they were woken by a roar. many mr. for thunder, making moments later, a torn to rocks and mud. read through their tents. leaping in albany. yeah. what a huge voice they just came out. okay. so the minute you guys gave it to our friends and then got them. okay. be so i see the then that beside that he's gone. yeah. not able to do anything. disaster struck in the middle of the night. dirt tumbling from a road, some 30 meters above the site. this popular hilltop area cherished for its natural

glass walls of a huge aquarium in the center of the hotel lobby, gave way and collapsed. the lobby was mainly empty when it happened, but 2 people were injured by flying glass in 1500 tropical fish. you all die. this giant include him in a hotel with whom to around $1500.00 tropical fish, and a popular destination among duties. the guests at the hotel walk up friday morning to the found a fellow bank stepping levitt graham had shattered it sounded almost like a fire word, but the hotel actually shook inside. ugh, i, i could describe it as a and i jolted out of bed and turned around and i didn't see any movements. i didn't know what that was going on. the thank with 1000000 liters of

all right now into the world cup our sports correspond done. your parcel loan has spent 4 unforgettable weeks in guitar covering the football world. cup. woke up of course ends on sunday and she is a professional footballer herself and she soon as this dispatch about how the tournament will be remembered as the world cup guitar comes to a close, i can't help but look back on what was in many way and with unique world cup today, the it was a world cup of 1st the 1st to be held in the middle of most domestic football season. the 1st to be held in the air world, a place where i found a deep level football. we own unique traditions, the 1st world caught that's on african and eric nation, make it to the semi finals. mom was not oh move. ronko gave us some of the most emotional moments of the tournament from on the pit upsetting football giants to off of it were air can i did to create a thunder atmosphere. it was also

a world cup of last. as this edition will see, the curtains closed on the illustrious world cup careers of foot, the legends like little messy lucas aldridge and christiana, rinaldo players who forever change the way i look at football on the pitch, there were sick tackler, football moments, big victories and shocked defeat being in the stadium to saudi arabia's upset over argentine. not giving me a whole new perception of football fan as i felt the stadium shake from the saudi celebrations. as a professional football player myself watching the ease with which brazil play or helping bob a can change the game in an instant was inspiring. i feel privileged to witness the magic of lino messy and feel 1st, have the ability, he has to galvanize a nation that rally behind him religiously. as he tries to end the debate over who is the greatest football player of all the argentina fans bring a whole new meaning because football passion the it was

a world cup filled with controversy which often saw football. take a backseat to more important topic. freedom of speech, human rights and equality for all should be non negotiable, but at times it felt like the values were up for sale to the highest bidder, and often less players in unfair positions in could tar. i felt safe to walk around alone as a woman, a sentiment was echoed by many female football fans. i spoke to who got to experience stadiums for the 1st time in their lives without fear. even though there were many negative to me, there were also so many positive, both on and off the pitch. and most importantly, football still has the power to transcend language and culture and bring people together. and there she is again, john, your boss alone as join me now don, you you, you spoke about your experience as a woman at this tournament. why do you feel that the turn it has been such a welcoming place for women? while i'm in as women,

i said it in the report i've really felt safe here. i mean, going to games, walking around by myself, going to the stadium by myself. of course, could ties a pretty safe country already. but for the world cut, they stepped up security. so there's a lot of cameras everywhere. you look, their security guards, police officers, volunteers ready to help you. so i mean on one hand, it is kind of creepy, but you do feel safe. i did talk to a lot of air women fans and they told me for example, that even though they can go to the state in their own countries, it's allowed, it's not really that welcoming and they don't feel that safe when they do go. and here really was the 1st time they could go groups of women to the stadium and they just felt like it was a safe space where they can enjoy football. so that is one of the big part of it is a positives of this tournament. it maybe it helps from the eyes of the world are watching everyone. let's talk about what we're going to see on sunday. what's the feeling on the ground they are about who is going to win?

well, i mean here in dough. hi, there are so many more argentina fans than france fans to the feeling really is that argentina is the team that everybody wants to win. of course there's the magic surrounding this argentina's side because it will be leonor massey's last world cup and he's chasing that trophy that he hasn't ever been able to win in his career. there's obviously, if he does get his hands on it, it would pretty much solidify his place as the best player of all time. so everybody who's a messy fan, everybody's in argentina fan, pretty much every football fan kinda wants him to win except for france fan, and they're looking to choose their own history. they're the reigning champs. they're looking to defend the title. that's something that hasn't been done in like 60 years, so it would be massive if they want to. so hopefully for the final was the an absolute cracker of the mash. okay. done. you got 5 seconds. he's going to win your prediction argentina, france. oh, i think i can tina owen, all right, put you on the spot. got an ad from the audio, barcelona, and her dad you thank you. thank you.
