thousands rally in the capital to demand the downfall of president heis. i eat as fears mount, he's turning a young democracy into a dictatorship and a warm welcome back in australia for no voc joker, which the on back seat and tennis. great was deported this time last year. now he's working to win over the fans before this year's australian open. ah. hello, i'm clare richardson. thank you so much for joining us. russia has unleashed it's a biggest wave of missile strikes on ukraine this year. at least 12 people were killed and dozens wounded. when an apartment block was hit in the city of new pro, power supplies were also targeted and the energy minister has warned difficult days or a had a scene,

halifax denito apartment block where dozens of homes have been laid to waste by a russian missile strike. numerous, i'm speechless, rural, speechless, york like just minutes after the attack rescue workers were on the scene carrying at the casualties and scouring the debris for trapped victims. lupa. i'm part of the group of volunteers who usually evacuate the dead and wounded from the battlefield. but we also help when their attacks on the city using torches, the emergency crews tried to locate residents inside the destroyed building the residence sent back signals through blo nice windows lice from their mobile phones . the d pro strike came as mission missiles rained down across ukraine.

the ukrainian defense ministry says many were shot down, but emergency blockades were put in place in many regions, due to damage to energy infrastructure. ukraine's president says, the latest attacks are proof that only fighting back can stop russia to more of those openly. doris, is it possible to stop russian terror? yes, it is. auction, you can it be done other than on the battlefield and ukraine. morgan, unfortunately, no i, she said can and must be done on our land or in our sky that steve does what is needed. got the weapons that our partners have in their warehouses and our warriors are waiting for that could be seen as a message to germany, which is mulling whether to deliver leper to fossil time to ukraine on saturday, the u. k. up the pressure by and i think it was then challenger to time, they will be the 1st advance times given to you crane by a satellite since the war began. so how much of

a difference could those battled tanks from western allies make in the war? we put that to francis for rel, a reporter for the keys independence. they are, these are huge and really important development for ukraine. these tanks are superior to the soviet era tanks that both sides are fighting with in these small quantities that germany announced and the poland also announced a few days ago that the u. k announced, i'm sorry, they will make a difference, but they need to come in greater quantities. ukraine requires hundreds more and vehicles, including tanks to conduct the offensive and needs to continue liberating more of its territories. but more importantly, it shows real political will finally from ukraine's western partners sort of breaking this to bu, around tanks. and showing that they are ready not only to provide ukraine with the aid, it needs to go toe to toe and fight on the same level as russia,

but also to take the offensive to tip the scales in ukraine's favor. so everyone's looking at germany now to see if now ukraine can get what it needs in the right quantity to really make a difference. speaking of germany, media reports suggest the defense minister is planning to resign. christine lumber has come under scrutiny for a number of blunders, most recently, unofficial new years message that critics found distasteful. she also allowed her son to fly with her on official business any government helicopter land rushed a member of chan for all the full to social democrats. has taken heat for failing to reform, germany's military fast enough. or earlier d w chief political correspondent, nina hossa told us why the resignation of the defense minister would not change germany security strategy a couldn't because all of shows made it very clear from day one. when russia launched a full scale invasion of ukraine back in february, that all things defends and military delivery of weapons, etc,

that they are ultimately his responsibility. and that he has the last word. so i don't expect to see a major change in strategy. now the german government always argues that qualitatively speaking, it was already a step hub when they announced that they are going to sent those 14 mazda ahmed vehicles to ukraine. but of course, pressure is growing for gemini to also sent proper tanks, the leopards, or even just to give that consent to other countries, sending those german made tanks to ukraine, pressure internationally, but also from his own government where his own deputy. but having said, jimmy shouldn't stand in the way if other countries want to deliver those times to help you crane gemini, doesn't necessarily have to go with them. gemini, doesn't want to go to loan. that is something that the german government keeps dressing, but if other countries are now sending combat tanks, of course this argument is no longer valid. if he's nina has a there,

we can have to look at some other stories and he headlines around the world. the white house, as lawyers for president joe biden have found another 5 classified documents at his home in the state of delaware. more than was previously known. a special council is investigating the apparent miss handling of secret files from biden's time as vice president of you brought him here. the 2 parts of california are dealing with major flooding following another day of severe rain and windy weather. flood warnings are in effect for regions around the san francisco bay area. thousands of people are without power and the stormy weather is forecast to continue into next week. will thousands of protesters have rallied in the to nation capital accusing president chi side of a power grab and demanding. he stepped down. the demonstrations came on the 12th anniversary of an uprising that toppled the countries long time dictator. tunisia

has faced months of political turmoil and economic hardship. oh the people demand the for the fitting, protested chant. they're fed up with president cathy, it's increasing criplin baba protested, excuse the president of changing the country's democracy into a dictatorship yet don't ask me a dollar. my pay said, is the $1.00 who runs the government, he should be answerable for what he has done in the country for a year and a half. he's done nothing and monopolized all the authorities and institutions in what he has made promises. he has done nothing. i had sites donkey jeff, i was elected in 2019 fence. then he has got, i was of the judiciary parliament and the rule of put a ticket back teeth to show a strong, a position supporters of different political groups. valid in doing this, despite

a strong police presence on that, we're with the democratic model. we're with freedom equality and with the state of economic and social rights by the chin is in president. doesn't see this. he only sees people as subjects. oh, my goodness, to faith, the government has been in dissolving bacon on the crisis. millions are struggling to make ends meet lo, we're deliver either our food shortages with the economy is in bad shape. and we are fighting to save our country from the situation. it's in with the protests marked the twit anniversary of an uprising picked up by the countries long bank dictator, vinny and of bettina been a li many people here believe they are building the momentum that enforced the currently took to leave office tennis now and there's a very different atmosphere leading into the australian open this year. covered

restrictions have been mostly lifted and former world number one. novak hillcrest is back on the field looking for a record extending 10th title. he might recall last year's controversy when the unvaccinated joke of which was given a pass into the tournament by organizers only to have australian government officials step in and kick him out of the country. let's take a closer look at that and rewind 12 months. i stay behind the scenes. we're jolting . no rec joke of h hustled into a government secured facility, his temporary home in australia, as authorities determined his visa status. the country back then required cobit vaccination for entry and joker bitch entered without a vaccination. rules ah, rules and there are no special cases. has. visa was cancelled joker, which was sent packing with an australian government representative at his side. he was put on a plane deported. the australian open was his favorite tournament,

especially after 2008 when joker bitch b, joy wilfred sancho there for his 1st ever a grand slam victory. he would go on to win 8 more titles in melbourne. $21.00 grand slams over all almost certainly there will be more grand slams and in melbourne on friday night for a charity event. joke of it heard a thunderous welcome. he still vaccinated, but that no longer limits entry to the country. my. you know, vision of australia has always been very positive and that has reflected on my performance. and my results are a testament to how i feel here that the charity of and he showed he was out to win back australian fans and eventually regain his spot at the top of the sport. steve pierce is a tenant,

commentator in melvin. and earlier we talked about how the australian open is taking place under very different circumstances compared to last year. yes, yes, class does that make an enormous difference? it, it feels like polar opposite to where we were last year if you were just alluding to their home. no joke of it, shot back saga as it played a strategy or right around the world. and this year it just feels incredibly different. we might even have players playing with this yet. there's no testing at all. all the mosque restrictions, everything has changed. everything's gone just like it has around the world and never joking, which has come back in to australia and he's lighted extremely well. i went to adelaide just after christmas played well in the tournament. i've they go extremely good reception. and then what i thought was strategically a very good movie play the charity match as you just showed their curios last friday night. and not only obviously, is that

a great thing to do and the to seem to repair their relationship. and that's great . but also for him to get that feeling of walking back out to road labor arena and get out of the way that reaction that a lot of people including him, what a 100 percent. sure. what that was going to be it was was, it was welcoming. there's no federal so there's 2 of the greats left in the sport, nana doll and jock of it yet. i think everyone pretty much is happy to see him back . absolutely. so aside from the joke of edge who else is looking in form among the men? since the interesting one with the men joke of it stands out so far, head and shoulders above the rest. with his knowing titles, already 10 and then winning an apple, i lost weight. but then, you know, there are obviously other competitors who, who could, if you're rich lips up or maybe cause him trouble. this daniel meant to have a pass to pretty proven performance. met them at the very highest level and then of course there is rafa on the dollar. the defending champion, his home line is

a little patchy coming in, but we know if he plays his way to the tournament, he could definitely cause some troubles. and then there's people for maybe a little bit outside of those. my main content is maybe even a nic carriers who got through at wimbledon the way the final last year is a lot of people who could trouble joke of it. but he goes in read and what about the women style? what can we expect to see there? to really young $91.00 the women's draw and it's got to be fascinating tournament. i'm in women's tennis is really without a dominant player at the moment. you got a issue on tech beginning to show that she could be there. she's still any 20 want to run a couple of majors last year. she's never really delivered down in australia before . so she, she has a lot to prove to herself. but when you look at the top women's players, she still goes in as a clear favorite to this tournament. there's other, you know, great players again, you know, all of the chain izzy and made a couple of major finals came up just sure. could this be her year? is other people you know, in the upper echelons of the sport co golf?

we've talked about for a long time, but you know, the women's draw really wide. i've been very, very few really well known names for people who don't follow tennis week in week out. so again, if you're fascinating, what could be the making of someone a lot to watch. thank you so much that steve pierce in the van watching d. w. news coming up next is proport are looking at the trail blazing female d j taking saudi arabia, ice storm, stating for that and thanks so much for watching 3rd quarter into the unknown today. this means.
