attacks used so-called kamikaze drones made in iran. they can avoid her overhead before hitting a target -- loiter overhead before hitting a target. moscow was targeting civilians. >> they destroyed our coun try. they are killing civilians and we see these attacks are the next phases of the war. the russians need ukrainians and that is why they kill civilian people. >> the attacks come after russia struck kyiv for the first time in several months. after mass of one of the attacks -- the aftermath of one of the attacks. >> russia is not going to let go of attacking kyiv city, and is

it civilians, discriminate showings that people here are witnessing. -- indiscriminate shellings or what people are witnessing. >> these attacks bring the brutality of war rushing back. >> more about the attacks on ukraine's capital. >> we had several explosions and the most notable damage was this residential building that was hit, three people died in there. the drones seem to have flown directly into the buildings and destroyed the apartments and there may have been targets, targeting a power plant nearby that would fit in the patrn that we have been seeing that russia is destroying infrastructure of the country before winter. these attacks on civilians is to

-- the second big attack on kyiv since last week. we have heard that thesdrones we flying tords the capital. most of them have been intercepted by air defense. as we see today, 40 drones were launched today. some of them hit. >> kyiv was able to intercept many of the drones that were sent towards the capital. what does that tell us about kyiv's air defense capabilities? >> air defense is very important in this war becauseussia has been shooting rockets and drones at civilian infrastructure since the beginning. the kyiv has worked on announcing the capabilities and also delivered some new systems.

this poses a certain difficulty, if i lower rockets or planes, it is harder to identify them by radar and it is more difficult to hit them. many of the systems in the most advanced systems are designed to shoot down planes, rockets that fly higher and are bigger. it is impressive how much can be done already without having the proper systems. there are systems designed to shoot down drones and the systems is what kyiv asks partners to provide. >> it has been a week since russia started attacking kyiv in retaliation for the bridge explosion. how prepared for people in the capital for something like this -- werer people in the capital prepared for something like this? >> people have to get used to

it, kyiv has not been hit for many months. some people have gotten used to that. people here do not really believe that this is a pure retaliation for the strike on the crimean ridge. it seems that thes a pl behind it. this must have been planned before to hit all of these infrastructure objects and all of the power plants, it s designed before the launch. it may have been planned to launch at a different time and reacted to the strike on the crimean bridge. that is what people here think. overall, most people here are convinced something russia had planned quite some time ago and there has been some talk. the city administration institution, the services are pretty quick at responding and clearing up the sites after any attack also filling in holes in

the road. last monday we had one major road being hit and it was filled up two days late. >> thank you very much. >> ukraine says drones made in iran were used. they have proof of a reigning teaching russian soldiers how to use them -- of iranian soldiers teaching russians how to use them. >> their noise can be heard from far away. the drone seen hovering over odessa. it is no joke, these drones can have devastating effects. iran denies telling them to russia, kyiv since fragments of

this drone was shot down have iranian and russian markings. the 136 has a wingspan of 2.5 meters and carries 40 kg of explosives. it is classified as a loitering munition. it can hover until a target is found and then it destroys itself o impact. what makes these drones useful is that they are cheap. it costs about 20,000 euros each. russia flies them alone or in low altitude swarms hoping that one or two will get through ukrainian air defenses which have trouble seeing them although several have been shot down. ukraine is still figuring out how to deal with the threat they pose.

they will have to act fast, the ukrainian president claims russia has ordered more than 2000 drones. >> i spoke to a senior policy fellow at the european council on foreign relations in london and an expert on from that artificial intelligence. i asked why these kamikaze drones are so dangerous. >> in this instance they are dangerous because they are available and russia has a lot of them. i was impressed by the number of drones that iran has been able to deliver to russia so quickly. russia can use them, can use a lot of them and attack very different places while behind the front line so that nowhere is safe in ukraine. i think that is the message that russia wants to send. it is terrorizing the civilians

and it is destroying civilian infrastructure and so, russia is trying to kill ukrainians from the front lines. they can be attacked. >> they are trying to sow fear and terror with this? >> that is right. that is what the systems are good for. four russia, they are relatively cheap. we have a price tag of around 20,000 a year. it is much cheaper than ballistic missiles or anything else that russia has been using to attacbehind the front lines. russia can do this for a long time and if iran it is able to deliver thousands of the systems, thican do on for a long time. it also means that the ukrainian air defense will need to work overtime. it finds a lot of rces because

they need to watch the sky all of the time and defend against these drones. -- it binds a lot of time because forces have to watch the sky all of the time and defend against the drones. >> they are intending to buy more drones from iran? how can ukraine go about defending against a growing threat from the sky? >> i have been impressed by the numbers of drones that ukraine has apparently shut down. it is a bit difficult to verify buthereave been pictures and videos. it is clear that ukraine has managed to shoot down the systems with different means. ukraine has several aerial defense systems. most of those are not specifically made to defend against drones but rather aircraft or missile items but they can be used against drones. they are a few that have gone through. it reiterates that ukraine is going to need more defenses and

systems that are specifically designed to detect and fight off these drones. not only are the systems tha ukrainians have not designed for it it is also a cost question. you do not want to use something that costs a lot to use. they can only do something for so long. ukraine will need more systems and will need to keep watching the sky whichgain, it binds forces and makes it harder for ukraine to defend on the front line. >> we have been talking a lot about the ukrainian counteroffensive. the gains made on russian occupied territory. what is the increased use of the suicide drones amine for a war and what happens on a part of the country that have become a battlefield already? >> it is difficult to tell and

we can only speculate. at this point you can see that russia has been using the systems to terrorize the population, to destroy or text civilian infrastructure whi is frusating the civilian population even more. it will destroy the economy even more. this has an impact on the war. you cannot use the systems and directly attack troop formations -- you cann use the systems that rectlyttack troop formations. there is not one system that is decisive in the war, the number here matters. they are talking about thousands of this and iran keeps them coming and russia can throw them on the battlefield, this may impact the war quite a bit. other elements are important

too. let us notocus on one system. it will not decide the war. that was very clear. thank you very much for coming to the show tonight. >> thank you. >> germany will keep his three nuclear plants operational until next year. the finest ministries is creating the basis for the extension. germany had planned to phase out nuclear por by the end of 2022 entirely. the war in ukraine out of the collapse of energy supplies prompted the government to reconsider the plan. -- reconsider the plan. >> the counselor did not give any reasons in the short communication he sent to his ministers this evening. i think it is clear that the argument has won the day. extending the life of germany's

three remaining nuclear power stations which were due to be switched off at the end of this year is the easiest way to ensure a reserve capacity available over the winter as is expected. there is a shortfall because of disruption to the gas supply. there could be a shortfall in germany's energy provision. the decision that has been taken, it is not without difficulties. the green party is fundamentally opposed to nuclear power has got trouble with it. over the weekend, they did concede in principle that they could imagine some kind of attenuation for a short time of these power stations. they thought now is the time to make the call and extend nuclear in germany for another few months until april of next year.

>> now to some of the other stories making headlines. a russian fighter plane has crashed into a residenal buding in a town in uthern russia causing a blaze that engulfed several floors. local media says four people are dead. russia's defense ministry says the crash happened during a training exercise and was caused by a fire. the labour party has criticized the turbulent conservative government's economic policy. they have reversed this trust -- liz truss' plans. sweden has confirmed that all of christensen -- sweden has confirmed the leader of the christian democrats and libers will rely on the support of the far right sweden democrats who emerged as the second-largest party in elections.

berlin will allow a number of afghans at risk of persecution to come to germany. the fort and interior ministries announced around 1000 afghans and their allies will be granted entry including activists, journalists, and religious minorities. the eu s&ls sanctions over the death of a woman last month. tthey ministers agreed to target iran's morality police and the cabinet minister overseeing internet blockages. officials will be subject to visa bans and asset freezes. >> support for the protesters and condemnation of the brutal crackdown, diplomats gathered to send a strong message to iran's leadership. >> we are making clear that we are taking those responsible who

use brutal force against citizens, against women, men, against teenagers, just because they want to live their livess we do and bash in freedom and peace. -- in freedom and peace. >> as a woman was arrested by 1000 morality police, as a protest mph into antigovement demonstrations. some 200 people have been kied. announcing the new sanctions, the foreign policy chief caught on iran to end the violence and if necessary, the block will go further. >> we have opted to restrict measures against 11 individuals on four entities. targeting those linked to the death of the woman after the

repression of protesters. we are ready to add more names to this list. >> iran has about an immediate response to the new sanctions. >> such a rushed and biased behavior is unacceptable. it is meddling in our domestic affairs. we do not accept this. >> as politicians trade accusations, protesters like these students in central around continue to advance the anger at the authorities who seem unwilling to listen. >> will the sanctions be effective? i put that question to the director of the atlantic strategic litigation project which is focused on accountability for human rights violations? >> it is a welcome development. the sanctions on 15 iranian

entities and individuals who are implicated in human rights violations including iran's morality police and his law enforcement forces. it is appreciated because this is the only second subset of human rights designations that the eu has levied against the islamic republic since 2013. human rights lawyers and advocates have long been calling for further designations for human rights violations on top running leadership and that has not happened until now. -- iranian leadership and that has not happened until now. >> how does the international community hold the iranian government accountable? >> there is a lot that the international community can be doing and the eu and member states can be doing. one is that member states need to immediately call a special

session of the u.n. human rights council. there needs to be a special session to discuss the ongoing human rights crisis in iran and discuss the set up of an accountability mechanism that will allow for a repository to streamline the collection and preservation of evidence of violations and possibly issue reports on the situation. that is something the international community of u.n. member states can do today. if they wanted to. an additional thing they could do is remove the islamic republic of iran from the u.n. commission on the status of women. it is the top women's right s body. they started a four year term in march of 2022. they will be there until 2026. they have gender discriminatory laws on the books to the

severity of the islamic republic does should not be allowed to have a leadersjhip position on a body like that. additional things that could happen with respect to the sanctions, we saw that there are human rights sanctions that have been issued. it is fine to freeze the assets of the individuals who are implicated in these violations and who are responsible for them. i think that eu countries should start considering legislation that allows for the seizure of these assets of chronic human rights violators and transfer from perpetrats to victims. similar to what canada has done, they passed legislation that allows for the repurchasing of assets. >> one of the world's leading

global health conferences is underway in berlin, the world health summit is an annual event that focuses on urgent issues in health care. one of them is finding a tiny pest that kills thousands of people every year. >> they killed more humans every year than any other animal on the planet. by some estimates, around a one million people annually die from the pathogens that mosquitoes and transmit. half or more of those deaths are directly linked to one illness in particular, malaria. it is caused by a parasite that multiplies in red blood cells. the blood sucking insects that can carry the disease have so far been limited by temperature and conditions to a wideband spanning the tropics worldwide. many scientists believe climate change is causing that band to widen. the vast majority of malaria cases occur in sub-saharan africa where the disease is

particularly devastating for young children. a lot of progress has been made in the fight against malaria here in the last couple of decades. much of it is due to the distribution of mosquito nets and the targeted use of insecticides. there is a long way to go in places like this lake region in kenya. >> the cause of is high. the hospital says there is no medication, you need to buy it at the chemists. most of us simply cannot pay the price. >> in some parts of pakistan, malariaas historically been an ongoing problem. the recent calamitous flooding caused by heavy monsoon rains and melting glaciers has led to a spike in cases of the disease. floodwaters receded, they provide a perfect environment for disease carrying mosquitoes to breed, last year the who estimated malaria because around 800 deaths in the country.

this year it will likely be many more. >> there has been a surge in waterborne diseases like malaria and most of the patients are children. and pregnant women. >> medications can treat the disease but the long-te goal is to develop good vaccines for malaria. so far, one has been endorsed by the who. it is less effective than many experts would like. our promising candidates are in the pipeline and could be rled out as early as next year. >> spectacular scenes unfolded today when a trio spread their wings above the famous taj mahal in ind. the skydivers and their wing suit dove towards the famous unesco world heritage site.

the river stretching below them. >> arrived with a soft landing. here is a quick reminder of the top story we are following for you tonight. kyiv says six people have been killed in a drone strikes that or launched in -- were lau nched by russia. i will take you through the day. ♪
