from near the earthquake epicenter. >> the car park is located in the psion hospital. as you can see here inside the tent, there are many bets but some of them are unfilled because some of the patients have already been sent home as they received medical treatments like stitches or anti-tetanus injections. but i talked to the doctor and she said 60% of the casualties are badly injured. this can provide them serious medical treatment like surgery for those who suffered traumatic industry -- injury and right now, the hospital has enough

medical supplies. the doctors say they still wait for more to come. >> that was sharon sue malone from near the epicenter of the indonesian earthquake. we also got an update from -- >> initially, the main problem for rescue workers was the access to barriers. that was cleared with heavy machinery coming from jakarta. i spoke with our correspondent on-site, she says the rescue work was done pretty work. the bigger problem is what many people have said on site. the long-term effects that people should have been warned about these kinds of earthquakes. now, a five .6 magnitude earthquake is not such a big

deal in indonesia. they are regularly hit by earthquakes. the problem with this one is not only that the soil there is particularly soft so the earthquake was not particularly strong with the houses were built in such a bad state, not fit for an earthquake prone region. that is what many people say the government and authorities should have warned people. >> germany's government says it has agreed to withdraw all its troops by 2024. west african nation has been fighting a jihadist insurgency for a decade now. germany has around a thousand troops currently deployed in mali. most are involved in reconnaissance. more and more western nations have withdrawn their forces from mali in recent months.

troops leave. this is to say the security of the soldiers can't be guaranteed something similar. >> let's take a little deeper. this is the representative of the german government. welcome. have there been any reactions to germany's decision? >> not right now but what we heard last week -- we saw via variety of reactions, mostly concerned about the mission. >> we have seen france pull out,

the british troops are sent to do the same. >> what we can see more recently is western nations and eurean nations are putting more out. a nation like germany for example or great britain are way tter equipped and have better resources than west african partners or countries from south asia that participate in t mission and will so if i stay in the miion. >> this will leave a vacuum. who is likely to feel that?

>> it seems to be clear that there y be a new focus on certain parts of the mandate or restructuring who within the mission to compense. leaving the mission with the military capacity in what way they can support the u.n. that was mentioned by the secretary-general until recently. >> how do you expect russia's role to evoe? >> we have seen a lot of russian propaganda popping up. we see talking points brought up by the government that resemble

things we could find in a russianlayboo as well as this will. they a there. they caused a lot of turmoil. we could assumehatf it does not sm opportune anymore, that could leave them on their own. >> a situation to watch. many thank here is a look at other stories making news around the roots of it. president bolsonaro has filed a

complaint challenging last month's election results. he is unlikely to get far but the move could fuel a small bite committed protest movement that is refusing to accept the outcome. the far right candidate nearly lost to the far left rafa on october 30. the united nations has denounced the increasingly harsh crackdown on mass protests in iran. more than 300 protesters have been killed since the start of nationwide demonstrations in september. this shows the security forces advancing on protesters in the largely kurdish city here. the world health organization has accused russia of carrying out the biggest attack on health care on european soil since world war ii. the organization's european head hunts at freezing temperatures.

>> it is 0° celsius as night falls in kherson. turning on the stove is the only way to keep the family warm. >> in the evening when it is dark and cold, my daughter becomes nervous. she is used in july but it is constantly dark now. >> millions of ukrainians will brave a harsh winter without proper heating. but that is not the only way. it has documented more than 700 attacks on health infrastructure since russia saw -- since the russian invasion came late february. hundreds of damaged hospitals

lack basic facilities like food and water. the health care unit cannot fully support the people. they are urging people to leave the vision if they can. >> we spoke with the w.h.o.'s regional director. i asked him about the state of health facilities there. quick there have been units in the south and southeast. we see now tha the recently liberated territories are -- have no primary health care facilities. pharmacies are destroyed or people have to move 10 or 15 km to a nearby pharmacy.

the health system is quit relient. that means that the wier that is starting, i feel it myself. it will be very brittle and a very seriously to millions and millions of ukrainians. >> >> what is daily life like for people in the worst hit areas in the south and southeast? especially those in need of continued medical care? >> there is one tic which is far on top of all other topics.

potraumatic stress, with long-term effects, if they see someone, we areondering if it is a ukrainian soldier or someone se. we are going to watch mental health including self-help techniques. if you put on that one, that there will be no energy, no electricity, people will die from heart attacks, from stroke, respiratory infections. >> this is all happening in the midst of a very much raging pandemic. are there concerns about covid

cases rising uncontrollably? >> absolutely. >> at that time only one out of three people in ukraine were vaccinated. we need this continued support. >> i want to talk about hiv and aids. for years, ukraine has been one of the most effective countries in europe with a very high prevalence. two people have access to the medication and treatment they need? >> i am very concerned. you are speaking about the south

and southeast. the dark hole is access to variable. 17,000 hiv patients are there. trtment is running out. this is a top priority. across lines, borders, across turkey, we need to get the hiv treatment to those 14,000 people. craig's that is a very grim picture you're painting there. a lot to do forhe international community. >> many russians openly opposed to the war in ukraine have fear

of persecution. dw met a climate activist in berlin who fled russia shortly after the war. >> this is at the heart of a climate activist and the russian state. he and his two brothers and father have been stripped of russian citizenship. now they are scattered. >> i was there since the age of one. i studied in the moscow conservatory. it is my marriage certificate still valid? my wife is russian.

>> they all got russian citizenship and have no other. but earlier this year, a russian quarter moved stakes in their applications. they are convinced the actual region is his political work. he is not only russia's most prominent future activist, he now combines this with opposing the invasion in ukraine. he even called for putin's resignation. it was at a rally in berlin. he says the removal of his citizenship could be a design to silence others. >> it is meant to intimidate those in russia so they don't feel grateful citizens.

many people say i should be happy to lose my russian citizenship because russia is a terrorist state. russia has a fascist regime now but for me it is something bigger than the russian state and i love my country. >>'s lawyers intend to take his citizenship case as far as the u.n. human rights council but that could drag on for years. in the meantime, they seek support from german and european politicians. quick snap to what might well be one of the biggest upsets in world cup history. saudi arabia have stunned one of the preacher many favorites, argentina in their first group match.

>> he converted from the spot to give argentina the early lead. saudi arabia launched the mother of all comebacks. they were making it a barely believable to-one. -- 2-1. argentina were relentless when they pushed for an equalizer but saudi arabia survived the onslaught and there are 36 game unbeaten run to seal a historic victory.

>> i asked how the saudi fans reacted to this almost incredible result. >> just to give you an idea of how massive this victory was, we are that saudi arabia declared a public holiday. i was in the stadium and that me tell you, the atmosphere was absolutely thunderous. there were so many saudi arabian fans there and every time messy touch the ball, he was booed. that is why there are so many fans. if you like saudi arabia was playing in a home world cup. i am a little bit higher off the ground right now.

but still, underneath, i can hear car horns singing, dancing. it feels like saudi arabia just won the world cup. i can say before the game, argentinians were absolutely certain that this game was already in the bag. thousands had traveled from argentina and there are many argentina and fans from other countries who came to see lionel messi and they think he is going to win the world cup. that today was a little bit of a disaster because after this american win, everyone seems to think that the world cup is already in the bag. but the exam it was building with argentinian fans because massey scored early. it really looked like argentina could run away with this one.

>> nothing in the bag just yet. how much of a blow is this too argentina's overall chances after lifting their first world cup trunk -- world cup trophy since 1986? >> people are calling this one of the biggest shocks in world cup history. we really don't know what is going to happen yet. it depends what happens in their group. maybe, this is actually a good thing that happened to argentina.

maybe this is a good thing that happened to argentina. they are on this winning streak. may be we got complacent. other argentinian fans that i did talk to who are not you said said they would rather have argentinian lose their first game rather than the last game. >> thank you so much. the polish superstar took the world cup stage this evening. the post captain met his match in mexico's guillermo ochoa, that 37-year-old was undoubtedly the man of the match. this left them in disbelief. and the mexican fans in tears.

the premier league club tweeted that tonight. the news comes after the 37 he wrote an attacker gave an explosive interview on the people of the world cup in which he criticized the coach and manchester united's honors. you are w newsletter from berlin. stay with us now. i will be back to take you through the day. hope to see you there.
