ah ah, for months reporting about the war and ukraine had been focusing on the eastern front, but last night russia sent a stark reminder that it is waging a brutal war against all of ukraine. several civilians were killed in a series of attacks on keith, her son, and even love be less than a 100 kilometers from nato's polish border. after a period of relative common reports about russian shortcomings on the battlefield, the kremlin is flexing and muscle by firing an unprecedented number of hypersonic missiles and its neighbor weapons,

ukraine and its nato allies have no answer to. the attacks forced europe's biggest nuclear power plant off the grid and left an entire nation with a renewed feeling of having nowhere to hide. i'm nicole fairly him, berlin, and this is the day. ah, you would your host, i feel when i've lost my brother, whom of us will whisper to we thought we were safe here. in the city there are air raid sirens going off, which was its camera here. but you see no one knows where it's com or i was walking in the park after 6 in the morning on my way home, a rocket flew over my head with, i'm fed up with it. i can't stand just anymore. how can they do this? how is this possible?

oh, also coming up a self styled day of resistance by protestors and israel to day. the president again urges the government to drop its proposed judicial reforms, echoing demonstrators and saying it would lead to a disaster. the new government trying to impose laws such that the government will be supreme to basically every thing, including justice. it will take us down the road, the hungary and poland, and turkey and dire on, went before us. welcome to the show. retaliation says moscow. an attempt to intimidate the ukrainian people says cave millions across ukraine were woken up by air raid sirens in the middle of the night as russia unleashed the biggest missile attack in weeks. at least 6 people died when missiles struck residential buildings and critical civilian infrastructure. a power loss at the separation planned again raised the spectre of

a nuclear catastrophe. but ukraine says the plant has now been to reconnect it to the power grid. in the capitol, 40 percent of residents were left without heating following the bombardment. at dawn, smoke billows across the keys skyline, the ukrainian capital, just one of several regions hit by a barrel, a job russian missile strikes while people was sleeping. we woke up to a very strong explosion. it felt like it had struck the house next door or somewhere very close. but we didn't immediately understand what it was. we ran into the corridor. reduce dolly. i'm fed up with it. i can't stand them any more. no more. seattle. good. how can you do this? what took mortimer houses possible for the name would be for different if they're not human, i don't know what to call them. we're kick more there. frightening the children for their traumatizing them. if it's, if your couldn't, your could at least 5 people were killed off to

a rock. it struck houses in the levine area. there were also reports of fatalities in the region of cason. russian missile strikes also forced to zap her, which she a nuclear power plant off the grid. this latest attack on europe's largest nuclear power station is causing huge international concern. this is the 6th time that this up. what is your nuclear power plant has look all off site power and house had to operate in this emergency mold. let me remind you. this is the largest nuclear power station in europe operating for the 6 time or other emergency diesel generators. what are we doing?

this was russia's 1st mass missiles strike since mid february. it says it was targeting ukrainian infrastructure, but yet again, it's left ukrainians. counting the dead in our corresponding man, he has pulling us standing by in the capital key for us. when he has the separation nuclear plan was reconnected to the power grid after being struck by a missile. how dangerous was this incident? well, we've just heard it. it was the 6th time that the power plant was di, connected from the ukrainian power grid for the plant is still, although it's under russian control is still feeding its energy into the ukrainian power grid. and it's also powered from there. so the plant needs electricity in order to cool down the fuels, even if the blocks are of grid, they still need to be called and this calling the pumps and cetera,

this cooling system, they need electricity. so if this electricity is car, there is, of course, the danger off a meltdown or a nuclear accident. however, of course, the, or these are power plants, they have several layers of security. so when the power is cut, then generators will provide for the power to continue cooling the system, which is what happened today. and which will have what happened the 5 times before when this happened. but of course, each time there is a risk and the more often this happens, of course, the more or the higher the risk is that at some point something might go wrong. it's not a very high probability, but it becomes more dangerous with each time and also these generators, they need fuel. they theoretically how fuel for 10 days, but we also don't know many things about the situation on the ground. so these things must not happen. that would be on separation. this is the biggest wave of

russian missile strikes and several weeks at why can you tell us about the damage across the country? yes, this was a very big strike. 8 more than 80. mit misses fired at ukrainian cities and to night there were more explosions heard ends up or easier. so these attacks do continue. this attack has hit several cities from leaf in the west where people have died because the missile hit their house to a power infrastructure being hit across the country here in t, as well as in the for in other parts of the country. the hark, if has been without power for some, for most of the day, kiva parts of keith have been without power, power has been restored in cave, and it has also been restored in many other parts of the country. the country has become very routine in repairing the damage, but of course it takes its toll and the more or more often these attacks happen,

the greater the damage is in the more difficult it also becomes to repair that there has been a pause in these attacks we don't know exactly why for several weeks. they have been very if we frequent throughout october, november, and december and into january. and then there were less, maybe it might be that russia had to, um, somehow re supply or had to re culture that also their attacks is always a battle between air defense a, in ukraine and, or the russians who are trying to hit as many targets as possible mathias, ukrainian officials say russia is used an unprecedented number and it's hypersonic missiles in this latest irish ukraine has no way of intercepting or a downing and how big are concerns about this new technology. yeah, we're talking about especially about the kids all which is

a relatively new development by rush. i think it was 1st introduced around 2017. it's based on an older design, but it has been modernized, so it can fly much faster and on. it also flies the trajectory that until now, the ukrainian defense has much more trouble to hit their accrues. miss ives, who fly relatively flat and ballistic missiles, who take who, or fly in a higher curve and ballistic missiles are more difficult to intercept. however, the new systems that have been delivered to ukraine, the patriot system, especially, are designed to intercept ballistic misses. so i think it's probably not true that ukraine has no way to intercept them, but the, the rage of interception are, is much lower than the, the number of misses that can be shut down if several are fired or will be lower with these missiles than with cruise missiles and so the danger is rising, however,

are experts do not accept that russia has been able to produce a large number of these misses. so we are probably seeing slight shifts here, but we are not seeing a total change in their, in their balance of, of power. here we will still see lots of massage being shut down as we have seen this night. but or we will also see miss as getting through in further attacks, which everybody expects to happen within the next weeks and months. my test bedding, i include thank you so much and please be safe. ah, protesters in israel have been staging a self declared day of resistance as public anger over a controversial judicial reform continues to grow. the government proposed laws would significantly reduce the powers of israel supreme court and increased political influence and the appointment of judges. tens of thousands took to the

streets and protest, voice in grave concerns about israel's checks and balances. critics call the proposals a threat to democracy while supporters of the plan say they reflect the will on the people. opposition to the laws has been brewing for months already. our correspond, antonio kramer took the temperature of some earlier protests and spoke to the people who fear for the future of israel's democracy. one of the many protest happening across israel, this time is really ami veterans and reserve is have invited the public to demonstrate against the government's plans to change to legal system across the street from prime minister benjamin netanyahu office. she ca presler a physicist is addressing the rally. these were the scientists, bori spit is rose. democracy is in danger. the new government trying to impose laws such that the government will be supreme to basically every seeing,

including justice. so while we are here to make sure that such a legislation will never bess, it will take us down to load the hungary and poland, and turkey and dire on when to before us. we just want to make sure that this is not happening here as well. just a few 100 meters away at is riskiness at the far right government is pushing through with its plans to trust sticky curve. the powers of the nation's supreme court. parts of the legislation have over the past, the 1st reading and paul, you meant sim co hoffman from the far right village to sign. this party is one of the main architects, the traditional ritual. he says, voters have given the government a monday to go ahead with the controversial overhaul in november. first. a lot of people went out of their home homes and voted, and they voted on exactly this issue. so to listen to that, there is a lot of people, but it is small minority israel said says is that this reform is not good for them

. we have basically a court that is an unbalanced and on check on like the other entities in with the government, which are checked and balance. so we need to introduce checks and balances to the server system. the deponent disagree. they say the overhauled the give the government unchecked power and overwrite israeli to dish or aris independence and, and, and there's no constitution in the state of israel and no declaration of human rights . we do not have the 2 houses of parliament. we do not have a term limits for the prime minister the now and i'll be more and that's why in terms of checks and balances. many times we lean on the high court decisions. this law makes it impossible for the supreme court to oversee the candidate and the government's action as another protest. this time in front of the prime minister's residence in jerusalem. after weeks of demonstrations,

people here are angry that their voices are not being heard. and legislation is being pushed through here because things are getting really radical in the country . we feel that we're not good enough people citizens. i would say that the bunch of free me just to go over the parliament and they just want to buy their own laws. they don't care about us. they don't care about the public love with try another way, but i mean, nothing else to do. and we need to fight for our country is really president isaac has spoken to this, a meaningful dialogue on the issue has yet to materialize the government and 5th, the reforms essential and doesn't seem to be backing down from our we're joined now by guy lurie. he's a research fellow at the israel democracy institute, mr. lawry. good to see. now if these traditional reforms were to go ahead,

what would change? well, the israeli system of checks balances will be completely out of whack. these reforms and i will go forward. the judicial independence of the court will be completely curtailed and the court conducted a solution for protecting against infringement of human rights will be almost completely out for practical purposes. eliminated the architects of this legal overhaul say that the supreme court is the only israel institution that is not checked and balance, which is why traditional reform is needed in their opinion. what do you make that reasoning? well, i think the supreme court is basically the only check on the power of the government as well, which is one of the most powerful governments. comparative terms around the world

is what does not have 2 houses and it doesn't have a power. busy federal system, the government, and it is the supreme court and there's around democracy is crucial for defending human rights and against over each by for a majority can really do anything. and without us being really surprised to see so many people take to the streets and protests against these proposed overhauls. well, i was, i was somewhat surprised a while i'm a researcher and i know the importance of these issues. it's hard warming to see the civil society in israel go understand how important this is and we'd go out and drove into the street. and i think there's a real understanding of how extreme this traditional overhaul is going to

be. and how radical changes to grow democracy are going to do and, and it's really hard welcome to respond by members of the military has also joined the protest. how much of a headache that's become for the government? well, i think the members of the military, it is the reserves and also they can amik sector as well. it's really up against the proposal and you can see that, you know, can you call the government or losing track and, and there's a lot of resistance from the majority of the public to do these proposals, especially to the, to the type of process in which they are led to the very one sided parliamentary process instead of seeking to reach a white consensus for any kind of constitutional change or regime chance. mr.

benjamin yeah, has on and off been israel's longest serving prime minister. how much of this reform in his doing and how much has it to do with the far right coalition that brought him back to power a or reform your agenda for a while now? they are. all right. are nice. i think the endorsement by a child abuse reforms to go forward. so it's, it's a combination of both of these issues. a proposal to go for them to change is you know, democracy. i laurie at the israel democracy institute. thank you so much for breaking all this down for us. and you

ah, here in germany, a woman who became involved with the so called islamic state is facing a tougher sentence for her role in the death of a small you see the girl in iraq. the german woman converted to islam and joined the term group in iraq. she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for not doing anything to stop. a 5 year old is the the girl dying of thirst. the girl had been chained up in the sun on the defendant's rocky ex husband, then an isis fighter. an appeals court has now ruled that judges overlooked aggravating circumstances, noting that the defendant could have reasonably intervened to save the girl's life . in this case, dates back to 2015 when i asked had expanded its influence in northern iraq and thousands of minorities were killed and abducted out of the approximately 500000 members of the community in iraq. some 10000 were murdered and estimated 7000 easy

. the women and girls were kidnapped sexually enslaved and forcibly married, and over 300000 were displaced germany foreign minister. and alina babel has been visiting a rock this week, including a center for displaced cds. babylon said berlin remains committed to the international coalition fighting you saw mc stave, saying that the tara group is still a threat in the region. barsky, if you either shoot messiahs has done to the a z d community, the attempt of total annihilation level abduction enslavement design bought. there was a word for the off like which we do not use lightly. genocide for more i can now welcome nadia now resolve. she's the u. z. the lawyer and legal advocacy director at the n g o, yas done, was now resolved. welcome to the day that 1st up, i'd like to get your thoughts on the ordered review of the case against the german isis member. thank you for having me call. i think the victims

council's and yes, we'll wait for the higher regional court of unique to decide on the final sentence in the coming months and comment comment on that. however, i can already say that we're happy that the german federal court disagreed with the lower court decision of calling. jennifer w's case a less serious case. according to the is the survivor. we have identified, in this case and who testified in court. jennifer w actively contributed to everything that us happened to her and played an important role in both brutalizing her and letting her child die, documenting isis crime for almost 5 years now. we have seen the woman who joined isis have played an important role and the crimes committed against disease, both instigating them and supporting them. so when deciding on the final sentence, we are confident that the german legal legal system will do its job and be fair to

the survivor, who bravely testified in this case a countless growth. some crimes were committed against a as 80 community starting in 2014 what the justice even begin to look like. that's a really good question. and i think what i have learned during this work is that we have to ask survivors 1st with justice, looks like for them and you will get different answers to hundreds of survivors. i spoke to told me that, you know, just as mean to them that we look for the 2700 still missing is east that tweet exam to 50 masquerades and singe are that we give them reparations, as well as you know, financial support. but of course, criminal justice remains very important to the use of the community, especially since, according to our history, we went through so many previous persecutions. but when it comes to criminal justice, only

a hand full of cases were prosecuted so far and more needs to be done, especially when we know that thousands of ice members joined the fight in iraq in syria and my my rating soon. the 10th anniversary, next year of the is the genocide. we hope that more will be done. i want to talk about this lack of prosecution because the only major genocide, convictions against former ice as members were handed down in germany, germany is seen as leading the way in prosecuting these horrendous crimes. how do you explain that so, so 1st of all, i would like to commend germany for taking this leadership position. and you know, one of the reasons why germany is so advanced and its investigation is because germany take take on 1000 using the survivors in 2015. and so victims are in germany and can give their testimony to the german authorities. but also germany,

and this is the unfortunate reality. hundreds of people travel from germany and joined isis and committed crimes against yes. why does international prosecution seem to be easier than domestic prosecution in iraq or many former fighters still are now that does? yeah, that's very unfortunate. iraq, where most of the crimes were committed, where most of the victims are and where most of the perpetrators are still not prostituting those confir into national crimes. and the main reason is because embark currently doesn't have a legal framework. there's simply no law in iraq that will allow the prosecution for genocide, crunching in manage and war crimes. and although there's a un investigative team that has been collecting evidence over the past 4 or 5 years now, they cannot use that evidence. and what is easy survivors? we have been pushing for years, iraq to adopt a law that would enable the prosecution of those crimes. but unfortunately,

this has not happened yet. this is criminal justice we're talking about, but that's only one part of the process, isn't it? what about alternative survivor centered options for justice? a thought 2 years ago, there is a law that was passed in your bag, which is the, the survivors law. and this law foresees to provide survivors with the wide range of measures including restorations including providing them with psycho social support, giving them access to education. and this is what survivors need more short term. the law has unfortunately not been implemented very well so far. so this is something we have been following very closely, but beyond criminal justice, more needs to be done by iraq in, in, in relation to what i mentioned also previously looking for the missing people, exhuming the masters and making some jar, just a safe place where you can return to because currently that's just possible not
