and driven chancello luck sholtes bounds to get top of the weapons and the poor stations. as he visits the scene of a deadly festival attack prosecuted, say a 26 year old syria has admitted through carrying out the a. so the, i've been fooling. welcome. ukraine says russia has launched waves of me solves and drones targeting keys and other regions for a 2nd strength morning. the series of explosions were heard in the capital. officials say the latest attacks of killed at least 4 people. emergency crews were already dealing with the biggest russian at the bottom. and since the start of the war, monday's air strikes focused on the infrastructure of the power and water, with the small village. and those are afraid,
9:02 am
your region is just one out of 15 targeted the strike killed a local farmer down the road. his sister survived the home busy with the potatoes i had just harvested when suddenly there was an explosion. i got scared, so i went to the basement when my husband, my husband decides to go check the other highest because it was really lived to see with him. when i started tires, it was a direct test to stop. my brother died. the ukraine says the russian bombardments are the largest of the war with more than $200.00 drones and missiles fired. ukraine also says the bombardment struck critical civilian infrastructure across its territory, disrupting power and water supplies. while bushes defense ministry claims the facilities were providing power to ukraine's military
9:03 am
calling russia's attack vile ukrainian president followed him here. zelinski made a plea to allies multiple great. there should be no restrictions on the range of liquids for your brain or as well as higher risk. these have no such restrictions and no more to defend us of life should phase no restrictions and weapons. blood rush i use as a full kind of its own weapons, as well as shy head drones and ballistic miss how it's from north korea. the united states, united kingdom and france and other partners have the power to help us. you know, stop tara, we need decisions. nation decisions that would allow keys to stride targets deep inside russia, using weapons supplied by western allies. so far, restricted, over the years. at the further escalation, correspondent in keith nick connelly has more on the latest attacks. so this was
9:04 am
a 2nd night of very long and alerts will be a little less intense than yesterday's attack. we have reports coming from basically most of ukraine, geography from the south, around kia and also the west. it is something that people here are used to of to know if he is of will not everyone goes to the bunker anymore. most people can sleep through and although till 2, but they are seeing the impacts already from yesterday's and today's attacks power outages and the power outage is often then leading to lots of problems with the pumps, then not able to function. so it is very tough. it had seemed, in recent weeks, like the energy situation is getting better, some of the cranes nuclear power stations were coming back online off to the annual repair. but there is a sense here that you know, this is also proof of ukraine's air defense is getting back to it. right. so where's the beginning of the will rush? it would have you been able to send in a few massages at a time. now it has to spend basically a month to month in the whole building up supplies of themselves to overwhelm
9:05 am
ukraine's and defenses that have been significantly strengthened with systems coming from the west. so you 1st see drones coming in, then you get ballistic missiles, then cruise themselves and you. if yesterday's kind of totals out, we believe basically 80 percent of those missiles coming in. we're down to less a proportion for ballistic massages which fly foster and we, we have, we seen these kinds of attacks now happening on average, about every month, every 6 weeks. as russian basically is able to produce a large supply large enough to overwhelm these countries. a defensive so it's something that basically now happens kind of regulate people on no, no, it's coming. and they've just, you have to choose whether they can cope with this or they basically have to leave the country if they want their total comments. and they have noticed this is gonna happen, and the number of casualties a note as high as you expect, i guess. but tell me it keeps cost incursion. it boosted morales. these attacks by most go and attempt to chip away at that of the i'm not sure i connect the 2. i
9:06 am
think these attacks were happening before. you'll remember in early july when russia hits the ultimate, it's a children's hospital here in cuba, even without any kind of ukrainian incursion on russian. so this is a part of a broad a campaign i think, especially to basically try and demonstrate ukraine's energy infrastructure, especially now ahead of the upcoming winter heating system season to basically make it clear that surviving it in ukraine cities is going to be a lot tougher this winter then maybe it was in previous wenches of this will. and i think that there is a, a kind of sense hearing in, in ukraine that basically rush, it doesn't have anything less. they basically have been attacking in this way before. and, you know, show some nuclear weapons basically that say they just going to use more of the same in terms of the kind of morales from the cost of operation is different. you sense here that the most kind of obvious results that operations being lots of russian soldiers being taken prisoner and in return that allows them ukraine to
9:07 am
swap those russian prisoners will for ukrainians. have been in captivity, some of whom have been in rushing up to 2 foot 2 years. so that's a big morale boost still. and i think for now ukrainians just except this is part of the course. what about connecting monday's attacks by russia, which to abide and condemned as outrages with western support and ukraine's demands to use wisdom, a long range weapons within russia? so, you know, we were expecting these schools to come from. you guys use it from presidents key. the push to be able to use quest, the weapons like the attack and we saw systems that have a range of around to 300 kilometers on russian. so for now, ukraine is only allowed to use certain western systems not including at tech comes we believe up to a 100 kilometers deep into russia. so that 100 come to zone as being very useful in, in coast region for instance. but it's old enough to attract the minute tree apples
9:08 am
from which planes take off to launch these mist all texts when you crank some of these apple it. so, so far away that basically none of the western systems that ukraine has for now would reach them. but yeah, it is something that people here and you crane or to be aware of it is very expensive and very difficult to try and except every single me. so it is much cheaper to try and destroy the planes. and the apple infrastructure that allows these attacks, we've seen ukraine already trying to attack these facilities with its homemade drones. some of them are happy in reaching these areas, but they're not powerful enough to make enough of a difference for now. so, you know, there's a real hope here. i think people would expect them to west, to change its position of, to at rush. it came into hot give region and made that, you know, that change of policy has already made a big difference for us. if you'd like cod given to me that and now compared to the quotes they were and is a real hope here that you know, the west might eventually realize that because red lines don't means as much as may be was previously assumed. a correspondent and economy in keys. while the old of ukraine has been affected by russia's war, one city in particular has become
9:09 am
a hotspot full of russian droned attacks with no apparent reason. dw is investigative team has been looking at why and has found evidence that russia may be testing a new type of drawing on civilians. very slots on the need for river has seen a disproportionate level of drone activity. residents this they, they feel hunted down by drugs which have killed or injured around a $150.00 civilians. human rights experts say the indiscriminate targeting of civilians may amount to bullcrap the aftermath of a drawing strike near ukraine's front line. the attacks, like these have been related less and very slots in recent months. residents say they are terrorized from don't unto sunset, many deals. you've still got the one that they have so many drowned, especially i can't imagine what resources they must have to just hit the hum garage
9:10 am
. let us be bored. new above and below the american got fled very slow after their home was attacked in february. let's say, let's say a 100 drones dropped explosives on their garage and car. they managed to escape on injured many others haven't heard of that. and since september, at least 16 civilians have been killed and more than a $170.00 had been injured. enjoying the strikes. many residents, dw, spoke to say they were a 100 by drones, and did not feel safe leaving their homes during daylight. ha, you were playing yes, a computer game as if they were sitting there and playing in relying on living target. drones have become a pivotal weapon in this war. also for the ukrainian side, many are typically hobby drones, usually used for racing or aerial photography that have been fitted with explosives
9:11 am
. dw has spent 6 months investigating why russia's military is targeting such a small city with seemingly limited to military significance. we identified these 3 russian units, operating drones in the area with evidence that one of them is testing and you, russian drilling. several sources dw spoke to sleep. that is, live could be a training ground for drawing pilots operating across the denique pro river. that's why does it doesn't matter if it's a person in uniform, whether it's a soldier or civilian training for the show. so but as long as hundreds of clips documenting russian jordan strikes have been shared on telegram, vehicles are common target. this example shows russian troops declaring all vehicles to be military targets. there are no civilians here.
9:12 am
all vehicles are being destroyed to hinder movement and deprived the enemy of mobility. lawyers say that is clearly illegal, is not making any assessment tests to how he's going to minimize civilian damage. and effectively he's decided that any individual is a legitimate military target. so the comment plus evidence of the drone being used in the way suggested creates not just a plausible case, but a very strong case of war crimes. but many drones leave little physical traces of their attack. just destruction presenting a huge challenge for authorities and investigating these crimes and holding anyone
9:13 am
accountable good number which was up in the dies from the w's investigative team. they've been working on this for the past half year. do that, tell us a bit more about the dangers involved in the intrigue and how you manage to identify these 3 units that could be responsible for these attacks then. so what we did is we basically looked into the eastern bank of the, the need for river because something that happens with the strong says that they cannot fly as far as yeah, military drones. these are hobby drugs that are fitted with explosives and basically the, the new per river, the limits, the front line that is in the personal region. so one bank of the river is controlled by ukrainian forces and the other one is on their russian occupation still. so what we did was like project the trajectory of descriptions and see what
9:14 am
the units have been observed on the eastern bank of the river. operating grows and targeting this specific area. and we came up with 3 units. the 20 5th motorized rifle brigade, which we have identified um targeting specifically vehicles. regardless if their civilian or military uh, the a special purpose brigade which is extremely secreted and it's under the command of the russian intelligence and a newly form unit that is a volunteer or re service unit that we know have been testing a new drone in the area, so tell us more about how you conducted the investigation because i guess you've had to get quite close and that's the dangerous. yes. so we conducted this investigation into parts. we analyzed hundreds of telegram posts um from ukraine in no forty's, from russian units, from drone operators,
9:15 am
from the russian troops, russian local authorities. so that was the open source sparks that we analyze here from berlin. but we had the support and our colleagues thing, the key bureau, travel all across the ukraine to verify the dates that we have collected and find human sources, find the human testimony on the human aspect of it. so they travel as close as they could to barry's laugh, which is extremely dangerous. all of the crow authorities have closed all the roads that lead to the city because there's a risk for every single vehicle of being targeted. and they travel to the various left district where we have seen this uncommon amount of joint attacks that have resulted in civilian casualties. but they also travel to all the regions in which survivors of these attacks have been relocated. they talk to n g o 2 volunteers that go back and forth from various left to relieve a,
9:16 am
to deliver food relief, and also to experts that are looking into this war crimes potential war crimes. tell us about the ukrainian expos who was looking into this and, and what's the russians say as well? so in the, in the, in the case of the ukraine and experts investigating drawing a tax is extremely challenging for several reasons. one of the reasons is that as the reports that they use the tax leave little and little evidence behind, they're very targeted. usually the drawing flies we'd on a fit that explosive drops the munition and then returns back to the operator. so basically only the leftovers of these munition are what's left for them to investigate. also these attacks are happening very close to the front line, which means that they cannot go there to investigate bus and they are risk of being targeting that double type attacks. and what are boston say? so the russian authorities,
9:17 am
i have decline our requests for common. we reached out to the russian ministry of defense local authority, the nokia by her song. they declined a request for comment, but one company that's developing this phone called back. and they said that they don't have any corporation with the russian ministry of defense to that they need a thank you very much. the don't use investigative team on that exclusive report. this and if you want more information, of course you can go to the full length investigation on how youtube documentary channel as the w don't. you metric german chancellor, old up schultz, is bound to tighten weapons, goals and speed up the deportation of projected asylum secrets. he's been visiting the western city of zoning and where a 9th attack a killed 3 people at a festival on the weekend. authority say a 26 year old syrian suspect has admitted to carrying out the of sold federal prosecutors also said he shares the ideology of the islamic state, terrorist group, which claimed responsibility for the attack phone off shots. here's respect to the
9:18 am
victims of a mass, stopping involving the german chancellor, branded the attack is terrorism, and vote not to by when the fight against extremism. that's why i tell all of us, most of this was terrorism, most terrorism against us. oh, leave not to frank tons, our lives and the community, the way we live. over the weekend, police arrested the main suspect, a 26 year old syrian mon. these lumnick street, tara group has claimed responsibility. meanwhile, officers search the asylum center where he is reported to have live according to media reports the legit perfectly to had an application for asylum rejected. but he went on the run before he could be deported, back to bulgaria, country where he had 1st entity, your opinion for right groups of helpful tests since the attacks were met by counter demonstrations, the incident has turbocharged coals to tighten asylum deportation on security ruse
9:19 am
. this young man was not on the legal basis of germany in concerning the german seo bribes. and he had was not allowed to get through them in germany. and i question mark by it, he was there to germany and due to the fact that the was applied to go to hope and in case that he would have been sent home, he would have not been able to do this. so terrible attack on friday evening and sorting it on the phone calls for the german chancellor promise to get a grant pon deportations who can come see of that and we will do everything we can and must to ensure that those who cannot and may not stay in germany are repacked created on defaulted to dr. fulton valley and the capital nav. so run age shopping that something like this can happen in germany. i know that's thinking
9:20 am
she's at the top, the right wingers will profit from this act and they will exploit it and say, look, we have to get rid of all the refugees. first thing a little sad and on the i'm more afraid of that. then for a few days of christian, for a lot shots the fall, let me continue. the attack is likely to dominate and tuesday selections lead to this week where his social democrat party is expected to suffer heavy defeats. that's bringing now chief political correspondent, nita has a there to state elections this weekend. what impact could the attack and zoning and have on the outcome? this is already having an impact on the debate as the, as long as threats is back on the agenda. and the reactions have been somewhat predictable from the various policies. they're all calls, the strict sort of solemn policies sticks to different taser rules. all of that is, of course water on the mills of the fall, right? we've been running that campaign and these 3 states and saxon the answer and so on and to immigration policies. and now the lead candidate and one of those dates can,
9:21 am
who can officially be labeled a fascist, beyond hucker. and his team, i know competing on and you've got the choice hucker all zoning. and so they using this incident and his policy looks that to be the winner of the elections in both states that currently polling at some such a percent or as the traditional parties. and especially the parties that are ruling here by lin. they'll have a hard time even making it into the regional problem. and so tools that will they have to build some sort of coalitions to, to actually get in power. well indeed in those 2 states, a lot of votes are likely going to go to the populace parties. so the far right, if the that over the mentioned on the b s. w, that's a very new policy with a carriers, messic leader who left the left party in order to start their own. and what both of these policies, ag on b, s w have in common is that they can be labeled on the system. russell friendly, or pro wrestler, as well as a very tough on immigration. and well,
9:22 am
all traditional democratic policies have ruled out collaborating with the a f d because of the possibly right wing extremists positions that will likely be no way around. taking b as w into consideration when trying to form a government in those regions. and that will of course, give them a boost in terms of national debates. they'll have an impact, and when it comes to the debates around germany, support of ukraine, for example, whether very much against tell us more about the weekend protests against the found right. as well in some parts of the country, germany is becoming as polarized as we've seen that happen in other western countries such as the k and the us, that both sides have built strong networks over the last few years. so of to zooming and happen the far right pro test, but immediately also so a lot of counter protests. so mobilization happens very quickly these days on all sides. and tell me also how germany plans to actually type and asylum policy being
9:23 am
really the crux of all of this. well, i, so it's announced last year already that germany will put more effort into deporting all those who don't have permission to stay in germany. the numbers aren't quite star, brings some 200000 people here in germany at the moment who don't have a legal basis. and so just how that is supposed to happen. there are many different ideas ranging from reviewing the rules under which stephanie collaborates with other e u countries in terms of migration as well as discussing was said countries how to deport people back to syria and of kind of style. and that is legally of cause very, very difficult because there are no diplomatic relations with always countries and of course, equipping the sort of these best. so in that debate has been going on for a while. but it is, of course, buying on the agenda are, again, not often solely using us as a let's take a look now. and so with the other stories making headlines,
9:24 am
