let's imagine winning the nobel peace prize and not finding out about it, while the whole world reports and argues mohammed a receiving the distinction, the uranium, the activist is locked up and tear on notorious evan prison. unable to receive calls, the freshly minted nobel laureate is currently serving, attends your jail sentence for spreading what the regime calls and tie state propaganda. for decades, mohammed a has campaign for a free an equal ron struggle that has landed her in prison. 13 times. now her fearless fight against the oppression of women and her country as being honored. but will the nobel do anything to change the status quote in iran, on the call fairly chamberlain. and this is the day the i one, the,

to be asked to be human call and 3 d, y. her re travel has come with tremendous personal costs in georgia is the, this price that has been awarded to knock us, sends a message to the women. if iran that the world is paying attention to the activities and protests of iranian women, hopefully this price will be another step in putting pressure on this region. also on the day, the poll is government under fire for an alleged bribery scheme for visa appointments. a week ahead of the election, d. w as in morristown, to speak to those who uncovered the fraud and those who say they benefit from it. and so i'm thinking especially if we start to do all the part and then we find out, uh well, the places in the it's not for china, it's yeah,

well just to get pull this visa to get an appointment with the console, you need to pay $5000.00 right? uh, to pay some middle mens so we could arrange something. welcome to the show. it's been years since the last hugged her children or saw her husband largest mohammed the has spent the better part of the past quarter century in prison. sacrificing it all to 5 for human rights in iran, in freedom or behind bars. she is tirelessly campaigned against the death penalty and torture and confinement and educated her community about the rights there being deprived of a firm believer in transformation through a powerful civil society. her work gained urgency during the protest that follow at the desk of geno mazda. i'm meaning now her courage, and that's the movement that looks up to her. i've been awarded the nobel peace

prize. the announcement started with a rallying cry of last year's uprising and the issues at the core of mohammed, these lifelong battle life freedom. here's the rest of it. surprise for women again. systematic discrimination and oppression. 9, she supports women struggle for the right to live full and dignified lives. the struggle across iran has been messed with persecution, imprisonment, torture. and even this to freedom. suffice for freedom of expression and the right to independence and against throughs require requiring women to remain out of

sight and cover up the body. we can now speak to roy of vermont cheese, one of the founders of the, of the roman bore him on center a foundation dedicated to the protection of human rights and democracy in iran was for a month. thank you so much for joining us on the day. how important is this nobel peace prize for the people of iran? and thank you for inviting me. this is a big day for all of us. i mean, now i guess my, my, the is, has been at the forefront of activism in iran. i guess the death penalty for women's rights for children's rights. it is torture against um, sort of de confinement, you know, for present as for um, origin a present is um, so this is a, this is a, an award for everyone. but of course, you know, for it on you and women and their, their clients because they have been fighting for the rights since the

1979. i mean, since before and items are going to die. but since now the 1979, you know, the fight has become very existential. and so the big day, this is a very big day mark as well. how many has been at the forefront of that fight for human rights for women's rights, for a dignified life in around for decades. but what has her role in the most recent wave of protests in the wake of, of the death of geno. my son may need been as well, she was in prison and therefore, you know, she couldn't be out and present in the protest, but she and she put out statements regularly, ink. so think about, say, having seen women, young girls, victim of sexual assault, she has been reacting to events. she has been, you know, she, she breaks the anger of her j. there's and puts out information that is useful to

actually, i mean, you know, in, in many different ways. um, she has shown extreme cottage during this time difficult time. but i think you know, that she appears she is very strong headed and she is very principals and are teaching it at the same time. i think each time there are um the human rights violations increase each time we have keating's and protests and people who are tortured activities like here, take a take a hit state who you know it's, you try to save someone and they that someone is execute that a piece of view is heard and so when it lasts for decades, you know, the toilet is very heavy, but she doesn't stop. yeah. she doesn't stop and she believes that change can only

be achieved by affecting it from within, through a strong civil society. but the regime has successfully and violently over the past decade squashed to send and protest. time and time again. what do you think it will take for the people to overpower the oppressors? that's a very difficult question. you know, so be society inside the country has played a very important role depending on how open the, the political space was for them to, to express themselves or to organize. right now, you know, the only way to be actually is it could operation between serious society inside. i'm assuming society outside, i think what it takes for iranians to win if that is what they want. and before they saw me through public, to give, you know, to, to be replaced by more democratic regime. they need, they opened the space,

the political space to be open because right now, there is no way they can organize and organize even protests. they are, they are not the arms and they don't want to be in arms struggled, and those would be an armed struggle. they lost, they lost at the great cost. so international opinion, international public pressure and the international communities pressure, the un, the needs of your on have to be held accountable. they have to know. that's what they do to people like, not just mohammed you or you know what they do to young girls who are walking out with their hair out and not to build a has a cost. they have to feel that cost. and they have to be showing that they have to not be invited to receptions and to event and send to, you know,

just the bare minimum and somehow, you know, there or it should not be. but this, the, you know, like there is no way you audience have tried every single way. you know, they have tried to work within the system. they have tried on struggle. they have tried in between everything in between. you know, this is, this is a struggle for the world's community. yeah, because everywhere we have a democracy, everyone is better off as royball, romano, of the under allan vermont center. thank you so much for your time. we really appreciate your input. thank you for making time for me by ukrainian officials say a 10 year old boy and his grandmother were killed and a russian without attack in the northeastern city of har keys, dozens more, were wound. it was the 2nd attack, the head civilians and the same region. and as many days screening authorities

claim the strike on nearby hood also killed or injured members of every single family in the village. today's attack on harkey as destroyed another family. and before we show you this report, be advised that it includes images. you might find distressing student and he's put you on the board deal for january, boy, nice in the wreckage office, destroyed home. and the wisdom of suggestion is strength. for the boy father. it's only too much when you please, on my side, hit my apartment directly. i poured out my youngest son and vice, my mother and my oldest son. i stayed there. the rescue workers are trying to pull him out shortly after, on hopes crumbling. his mother also didn't make it after life.

this morning, the enemy launched to my side strikes the discount, the signs on the central part of the city of pod keep. one rocket hit the ground near hyde ice residential buildings. buildings were damaged and people were injured . the attack scheme just the often and not the russian strikes in the same region. you clean face and his gun that i'm gonna try to get more than 50 people got there for a few 100 in a window of about 300 residents. this thank you very much. i saw the smoke back and then i started causing my brother. but my brother didn't on so and neither did his wife my mom didn't on that either. i got to do my nephew and he said, i'm going to come here mom, dad and ranma are under that opposite of this was the one of the that lift

attacks on civilians. since the start of fresh as water new cream. most school has, again said it's only a dox military targets, but that argument is starting to view pin, and the u. n is not investigating before that. we start once again the internationally amount of time enrolled. in particular, the rules on conduct, the possibilities must be strictly respected. right, that the strikes hit, the intended target or not. the daily attacks are leaving many with is it better? but it also earlier this week, the us congress narrowly avoided a government shut down, but the 11th hour deal raised alarms and ukraine and allied nations as it includes no new aid for the war town and country. since then, presidential buying a saw to alleviate concerns allowing the us what not a band and ukraine, the us and basset or tomato julian smith says she believes the block on ukraine

funding will get sorted out. she spoke with the w as jack parents in this exclusive interview. let's listen i as well, you're right. we do have a situation right now where we have what's called a continuing resolution in the united states. and that resolution does not include any increased support for ukraine. that's said, i think president biden was right with confidence to say that the us will have additional support for ukraine in the weeks and months ahead. we have to settle this budget issue. it is often contentious, we've been through similar scenarios in the past, but i think the president said a very clear message to our partners and allies and to the people of ukraine that the us leadership that we've been able to provide since the war started will continue and i don't think there's any question about not only us support, but i want to also take a minute and st. germany for all that it is doing to support not only the people of

ukraine, but the ukrainian military and all of the countries out there. there are actually over 50 countries that are providing security assistance. you mentioned to us leadership that what are you hearing from the other nato allies of a preparing to followed you in the funding cause what's the reaction beam to everything that's going on in washington? i think we've had some legitimate questions from our nato allies to better understand what a continuing resolution is, what the debate actually looks like in washington, but by good fortune, actually, i was on a trip last week with all of the nato and masters. we took them all to washington and we visited the house and the senate, and what came across in those engagements was that number one publicly there strong bipartisan support for america to continue supporting ukraine in this moment.

americans fundamentally understand what's at stake. and number 2, the majority of members of congress wants the united states to continue supporting ukraine. so that was an important message for our allies to hear on that trip. and i think that's what i'm trying to get across here in the nato alliance to reassure our friends that this will eventually gets sorted out. and that the united states fully expects to continue playing the leadership role that it has. and we end up expect and anticipate our allies across the nato alliance to keep providing the important assistance that they've been donating as well. moving on media reports as a, in the most okay. might be preparing to test a nuclear powered me. so does that track with what your intelligence is saying, and can you tell us a little bit about what the us might do if process starts testing you to the pilot massage? well, i don't have any information on that particular breaking news,

and i hate to get into any hypotheticals. what i will say is there have been instances for over the last 1920 months or so, where we have heard some sort of threat coming from russia. in many cases they've talked about the potential use of tactical nuclear weapons. that's been something that they, they have threatened. i will say we take their rhetoric seriously, whether it's in regards to the potential use of nuclear weapons or testing um some other future capability. but at this point, we don't see any clear indication that they're preparing to use anything in their nuclear arsenal. but we will continue to monitor the situation and we've message them that there would be pretty severe consequences if they were to do so. you have some best suggest tomato. judy smith, thank you for joining us. i'm dw, thank you. poland. it's ruling law and

justice party prides itself on taking a tough line on migration. granted, the country has taken in more than a 1000000 ukrainians, but firmly opposes taking in migraines and asylum seekers from asia, africa, and the middle east to arrive and other parts of the block. just today, poland joined, hungry and rejecting a joint statement on a migration reform at a leader summit in spain. as proving to be a hard image to maintain though, as the conservative government phases, accusations of corruption and visa application process as a broad poland is a promised land for the people here at base for so work permits office. i want to stay here. the people are very good, the suicide they are very good people. everything is very good. they sniff felice kitchen stuff or we're calling mohan just got these papers renewed. but getting here wasn't easy. he had to apply through the embassy in india. then when we go

india, there they will not, the money is almost like that, but the, the 3rd person will take too much money is problem for, for me to attended. so we have to, you know, put our lands and other things in the bank. and we get the money and we paid agency . yeah. after of digging money they will have stories like this one have sparked a media store. i'm here in poland. because that to the bought cia is one of the few newspapers which regularly criticizes the national conservative government and when administered was suddenly sacked last month. investigative journalists fall literally. so i think especially if we started to do all the part and then we find out, well, the places into what in africa, and they say, well, just get polish visa to get an appointment with the console. you need to pay a $5000.00 price. uh,

to pay some middle mens so we could arrange something. oh sorry, she's here, have acknowledged wrong doing occurred and say the issue is being addressed. for its part, the ruling party argues the problem has been blown out of proportion by the price and opposition. indeed, there was a group that decided to start the premium, elect, cvt, and taking bribes in exchange for expediting some of the procedures. no visa was granted to anyone in exchange for it, right? there was no breeds when it comes to security procedures. our 1st tech users are already terminating charges against those people and they need to be punished. not the reports have already traveled far and wide. cool, and as part of the showing and areas, your opinion is id check. 3 travelers. thought means people can easily hop on a train here in warsaw and head to germany or many other parts of the globe. given

more so i was reluctant to take in any migrants and asylum seekers from other parts of europe. some you politicians have been particularly unimpressed by the latest revelations. the prison does on 3 years. the populace or right has painted isn't worth a migrant. is evil personified immigration as the root of all are evils. all of this will popularly rhetoric to hide. they're going to competence after election draws closer rhetoric from across the political spectrum adorns the streets of war . so the incumbent law and justice party is still pulling high despite the scandal . but their lead has not root and which days to go. all sites are fighting for each and every vote. rosie pritchard file that report enjoys is now from crack out. rosie you look very closely at the scandal. now is this a case of a few bad apples as a pole is government is claiming, or is this really systematic fraud as well?

that is the question which is on everyone's lips here. and it's certainly one which prosecutors say they are looking into it, depending on who you talk to nicole, you will get wildly different kinds of just how wide spread this issue was. so, according to prosecutors and according to the government, we're talking about a couple of 100 cases, which would mean relatively isolated incidents. whereas if you talk to the opposition, they are using figures more like in the hundreds of thousands because we are looking at the total number of bases that poland has issued for work permits. i'd say, well, if it's happened in a couple of cases, a couple of 100 cases, perhaps it could have happened in all of these cases too. so it's certainly something which is really heating up the political debate here. and i can tell you, i've been in the country for a few days, reporting on this. there is a really tense atmosphere here. every wall is covered at a post or for a politician for one party or from the other. and they really are fighting down to the wire here to try and win these votes. so of course, just the head of the election for the ruling party. this isn't necessarily

a good look at something they're trying to deflect for all in one way or another. but opposition politicians are certainly trying to milk this opportunity to embarrass the government for all it's worth. so not a good look domestically, but not a good. we've seen really this debate around migration in the regular migration. and we the moving up the political agenda. we see that among the discussion of you, we use today and the you itself still expressing concern. we know that the home affairs commission, that your husband has written to uh, to poland saying she would like some answer. she got a 1st letter, i'm honest to get, get a copy of that letter in which the police government defended itself and said, look, our investigators uncovered these cases. prosecutors, i've been looking into them and they say that prove that their system is actually working. i'm certainly the 1st letter it was deemed as simply insufficient in terms of the answers that russel says it's looking for. so the international record, a reputational damage,

is certainly being done despite and police government really trying to defend itself here against these accusations. as the though is rosie bertrand reporting from crockett o. thank you so much. i the the, we started the show with nobel laureates unaware of winning and unable to share the prize with her family. we do want to end on a more positive note though, because some of this year's winners are even lucky enough to still have their parents around to celebrate. the good news with drew wiseman is 64 and he won the nobel prize for medicine this week. for his work on and lauren, a vaccine technology along with counseling curry go university of pennsylvania and posted this heart warming video of him calling his elderly parent. hi, it's your son here. okay. yeah, i have some news. shoot your boss. yeah.
