anchor: this is dw news. this year's nobel peace breeze -- prize goes to a gelled a rainy. narges mohammadi his award for her struggle for women in iran. european union leaders meeting in spain, they end without an agreement on immigration policy after hungary and poland reject

an adjustment to rules. and the visa application process causing a problem for hungry head of national elections. at a bleak morning from the u.n. -- more than 4300 children have been displaced by severe weather events on the number could triple in the next 40 years. ♪ to those of you joining us on pbs in the united states interviewers around the world, welcome. iranian activist narges mohammadi has won the nobel peace prize. she has fought for women's rights in the islamic republic for decades and faced harsh punishment from the authoritarian state.

she is currently behind bars in iran, but following the peace prize announcement, calls for her release are growing. reporter: narges mohammadi, one of iran's most prominent activist, can at nobel peace prize to her list of active -- accolades. >> the nobel committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for 2023 to narges mohammadi for her fight against the oppression of women in iran and her fight to promote human rights and freedom for all. reporter: for most of her life, mohammadi has fought against her countries government, which wrigley controls women's lives. she has been whipped and spent years with -- behind bars.

but she still helped lead a protest last year after the death of a young woman who was arrested for the way she was dressed. in a statement to the u.s. to -- the new york times, mohammadi reacted to the prize. "global support and recognition of my human rights advocacy makes me more resolved, more responsible, more hopeful and i also hope this recognition makes iranians protesting for change stronger and more organized. victory is near." mohammadi's husband and children haven't seen her in years but they watched the announcement from paris with pride. >> i'm very proud of my mom, she deserves this award. it's for all her work, she committed practically all her life and this is not just for my mother, it's for the struggle, it is for women, life and

freedom, so it is even greater. mohammadi's supporters in iran said they hoped this would encourage others to follow her lead. >> i'm overjoyed an iranian women has been awarded the prize, i hope this will pave the way for all iranian women to move forward. >> i'm proud and iranian women has been chosen i think it's time for other women in the country to think about how we can capitalize on her experience. reporter: the norwegian nobel committee has called on iranian authorities to release narges mohammadi in time for the prize ceremony in december. anchor: earlier i spoke to the director of the strategic litigation project at the atlantic council. she has fought for human rights in iran for years. i asked her what the price for narges mohammadi means for her. >> i couldn't be more thrilled

that narges mohammadi is the recipient of this award. anyone familiar with human rights work in iran will know she's been on the front lines of this fight for years, not only for women but other marginalized groups, whether they be religious minority or other groups that suffer from violations under the iranian regime. could not be more thrilled. she has paid the ultimate price for her activism with her freedom. she is currently serving a 10 year sentence of imprisonment. anchor: her receiving the nobel peace prize has prompted calls for her release from prison, do you think this will make any difference or could the increased attention have negative consequences for her? gissou: i think it's critical she received this award because she is somebody who is already under intense scrutiny. this is a name that is very familiar to the iranian regime. it's familiar to anyone fighting

for freedom in the country. it's not an unknown person who might be dealing with negative implications. she knows what she has taken on. she has been estranged from her family because of these consecutive sentences. she's have 13 imprisonments, five convictions. it has totaled over 31 years. she is well aware of the risks but she's always been in incredible, principled human rights defender, and i think it's so credible -- so critical that the islamic republic of iran realize that the world is watching and paying attention to these calls. anchor: you have long wanted to hold the iranian government for the human rights in the country. have we seen any progress on that? gissou: when the islamic republic was under scrutiny and

countries were making statements in solidarity with girls and women in iran, we saw solidarity, we saw a fact-finding mission to examine abuses. but global attention shifted and slowly we saw the islamic republic decided to double down on their gender discriminatory framework by installing new state security units, policing hit jobs --hijabs. narges mohammadi the other day from prison signed legal brief asking for the you in -- un to make gender apartheid a recognized crime. she is even leading the call from behind bars. anchor: how is she keeping up the pressure from behind bars and a place like prison?

gissou: i think the moral weight of what she's done over the years inspires so many and injects hope into what could often be a hopeless situation. we often say that pushing for human rights change in iran is a marathon, not a sprint. there is a new generation of young women who have been inspired to challenge this gender discriminatory framework and i think it should mean everything when we see people who have been fighting that fight for decades continue on and not give up. anchor: she believes change can only be affected by from within, but the regime has a violently quashed dissent and protest time and again. will the people be able to overpower the oppressors without outside help? gissou: these things work in tandem. it depends what we mean by outside help.

i think it's absolutely critical that every measure is taken to weaken the islamic republic. i think that's what she's called for in terms of international solidarity, actions at the united nations, in terms of bilateral relations, raising the human rights situation and commanding discriminatory laws be set aside. it works from a grassroots, people based movement but also when a regime is stifling its people, we need to make sure we are not helping that regime in that oppression. anchor: always great speaking to you. thank you. poland and hungary have rejected a joint statement on european union migration reform at a meeting of the bloc's leaders in spain. the dispute largely overshadowed other issues at the summit,

including the enlargement of the eu. proposed reforms to the migration policies were agreed by a majority of states but there's no guarantee their implementation will go smoothly. reporter: is no secret that poland and hungary are unhappy with the eu's new asylum policy, hungry's prime minister still raised eyebrows with this. >> if there is a chance to have -- there is no chance to have an agreement on migration. generally speaking for the next year. because legally we are -- how to say -- we are raped. if you are forced to accept something you don't like, how do you have a compromise and agreement? reporter: but the french president said they had made progress. >> they can't block a qualified majority decision which i think is very well thought out and allows us to move forward in a concrete way.

reporter: the eu's new common asylum policy aims to create more legal migration pathways to europe and to reduce human trafficking and smuggling. >> it is us who decide who is coming to the european union, who gets asylum but also who has access to the labor market. reporter: under the agreement, those who oppose hosting migrants have to pay those who do. poland and hungary are against this so they've locked -- they've locked up a joint declaration. but it is hard to say whether member states will comply. under current rules many don't anyway. anchor: our correspondent told us more about what the leaders did and did not agree on regarding migration. reporter: they issued a lofty declaration, but migration

was excluded because poland and hungary, the prime minister's said they will not agree to a new pact on migration. if you look at it closely, that's not really necessary because this pact is already agreed on because there was only a majority voting necessary and that happened two days ago. poland and hungary are showcasing their fundamental opposition to all migration policies and it will be very difficult now to get this migration pact over the finish line because it has to be negotiated with the eu parliament and will take effect only in two years time. in the short run this pact doesn't change anything. but the leaders also discussed new treaties with countries in north africa like tunisia to have a deal that they get money and hold migrants act that try to cross the mediterranean.

that will happen again and again, also from countries in sub-saharan africa. but the success of the approach is not clear, how the numbers will go down in a short term. anchor: poland's ruling law and justice party prides itself on taking a tough line on migration. the nation, which has taken in more than one million ukrainians, is firmly against taking in asylum-seekers and migrants from asia, africa and the middle east who arrived from other parts of the bloc. but with elections around the corner, there are concerns. reporter: poland is a promised land for the people at this warsaw work permit office. >> i want to stay here. the people are very good.

very good people. everything is very good. reporter: this nepalese kitchen stafford just got his papers renewed but getting here wasn't easy. he had to apply through the embassy in india, then -- >> when we go to india, they would not take money, but the third person would take too much money. it's a problem for me and my family. we have to put our land in the bank and we get the money we pay the agency. after taking money they will help. reporter: stories like this one have sparked a media storm in poland. this is one of the few newspapers that regularly criticizes the nationalist conservative government, and when a minister was suddenly sacked last month, investigative journalist followed a lead. >> something is fishy. then we found out, there are

places in the world, in africa and asia, where just to get a polish visa, to get an appointment with the consul, you need to pay a $5,000 bribe. to pay a middleman who can arrange something. reporter: authorities have acknowledged wrongdoing has occurred and say the issue is being addressed. the ruling party argues the problem has been blown out of proportion by the press and opposition. >> indeed there was a group that decided to start criminal activity, taking bribes in exchange for expediting some of the procedures. no visa was granted to anyone in exchange for a bribe. there was no breach when it comes to security procedures. our procedures are pressing

charges against these people and they need to be punished. reporter: but reports have traveled far and wide. poland is part of the european unions id check zone, which means -- id check freezone, which means people can pop on a train and travel to many other parts of the bloc. given their unwillingness to take in other migrants in asylum-seekers, some politicians have been very unimpressed. >> the far right has painted foreigners and migrants as evil personified. immigration as the root of all evil. all of this populist rhetoric to hide their own incompetence. reporter: as the election draws closer, rhetoric from across the political spectrum adorns the streets of warsaw. the law and justice party still pulling behind despite the scandal but their lead has narrowed, and with the days to go, all sides are floating for -- fighting for each and every vote. anchor: now a quick look at

other stories making headlines around the world. at least 18 people have been killed and dozens injured after a bus overturned in mexico. the passengers were migrants, mainly from venezuela and haiti, bound for the united states. the injured were taken to hospital for treatment. in kenya, hundreds of conservative christians and muslims have protested against gay rights outside the supreme court in nairobi. last month the court reaffirmed lgbtq people's right to association. the protesters say the verdict -- morality. in india, people have been killed when floodwaters went through the himalayas in the northeast. rescue workers are searching for 140 missing people. a glacial lake reached a hydroelectric dam, flooding towns in the valley below.

the philippines has released drone footage it says shows the chinese coast guard attempting to block a mission to resupply philippine troops in the disputed south china sea. a coast guard spokesperson said a chinese vessel came within one meter of a philippine vessel during the incident on wednesday. a un report says extreme weather has caused more than 43 million children to be uted from their homes in recent years. the report says the number could nearly triple over the next three decades. the rising display meant -- display meant has to do with climate change. floods and storms have accounted for the displacement of a staggering 40.9 million children. the u.n. has warned the world is acting too slowly to help. the global chief for migration

and displacement at unicef, i asked her whether climate change compares to war or poverty in terms of displacement. >> well, climate change has become an invisible driver of children being displaced. i think it is outpaced by the number of children already displaced by conflict. last year, at the end of last year, more than 30 million were displaced, many of them for many years already. what we are seeing and describing in this report is a future happening already, a future accelerating. climate change and catastrophic disasters -- floods like we've seen in pakistan, flash floods, tropical storms, hurricanes, droughts in africa -- they will be driving future child displacement and will probably soon overtake the numbers of children being driven by conflict. anchor: you mentioned a couple

of places. where in the world is climate change affecting child displacement the most and why? verena: there are a few countries that really stand out in absolute numbers of children that have been displaced in the last six years, those are countries with large child populations. india, china were the philippines. these are also countries that are very exposed to coastal storms, storm surges and floods. it's also really important to remember these are countries that have made important investments in early alert mechanisms and evacuation capacities and good monitoring. they are recording the number of children forced from their homes. it is other countries we are in some ways were worried about. places like the horn of africa -- somalia, south sudan. also places like haiti, small island states that are very

exposed to the risks of typhoons, risk of storms. also the stormy seasons and seasonal flooding. they have no capacities really to warn children or prepare communities or evacuate them, to keep them at least safe. these are the countries who want to draw attention to, where the risks for children are the greatest and capacities to cope are the most limited. this is where we need to invest. anchor: how can we invest? what can be done to protect the children, looking at a prognosis that is likely going to get worse? verena: the efforts to cut emissions news to continue. we cannot win this fight if we don't slow down climate change scenarios that could rapidly make things worse. but very concretely, in places like south sudan or somalia,

cuba, we need to scale up early warning systems. we need to invest in drills for children so they know what to do. we need to convert schools into buildings that are safe that can continue operating in the face of a storm. we need to design health clinics in a way that continue to operate even in the situation of a disaster. we need to expand social protection systems. we know what to do, we just need to redirect financing and prioritize children. anchor: a long to do list. thank you so much for your time. verena: thank you. anchor: bangladesh's worst dengue fever outbreak is threatening to overwhelm its health system. the country is dealing with more than 200,000 cases of the schedule borne disease, including a record number of deaths. the world health organization has warned that gay fever has

gone spreading -- that dengue fever has been spreading further and faster because of climate change. reporter: bangladesh is used to dealing with dengue fever but this is something else. at this hospital in the capital they are treating around 1000 patients on its wards. with only a few hundred beds, it doesn't have room for them all. in some cases, the outbreak has hit entire families, including many young children. >> she is just a six euro child but hasn't taken any food except fluid for 15 days. she has become weak. my parents are suffering and i feel bad to see this. >> after the death of my friend with dengue, i feel scared.

when a doctor can't save himself. where were my family and children go? the fear is much greater now. reporter: this hospital now at the center of the response to this record-breaking outbreak. one that has already claimed more than 1000 lives, including more than 100 children. a total almost four times higher than last year with doctors increasingly worried about how quickly some patients are becoming severely ill. >> we are singing the dengue shock system the most this year, used to follow a certain course. here, the last phases are overlapping, a patient is going to shock syndrome the following

day. when someone is getting infected for the second or third time, they are going to the classic phases. reporter: what medics here really want and need now is a vaccine. there isn't one widely available yet that could help relieve this emergency, but there's some hope for the future after the world health organization gave its backing to a new vaccine from japan. one that has proved more than 80% effective in trials of venting people from being admitted to hospital. ♪\ anchor: this year has seen more focus than ever before on saudi arabia as a football nation. its astronomical finances have lured some top players and it has now set its sights on hosting the men's world cup in 2034. the announcement this week that world cup 2030 is to be held in europe, africa and south america removes those three continents

from fifa's list for 2030 four and massively increases saudi arabia's chance of hosting. there has been strong opposition to the bid from a fan organization, which accuses fifa of destroying the world cup and criticizes saudi arabia's "appalling human rights record." despite the criticism, the president of the saudi football federation is confident of a successful bid. >> we are hosting the world cup in saudi arabia, it would mean everything to us. we already took part in previous world cup's, and the chance to do so on home soil and in front of fans in saudi arabia would be incredible. we are a football nation and this is what dreams are made of for all the generations. young and old, boys and girls.

anchor: a reminder of our top stories at this hour -- the 2023 nobel peace prize has been awarded to in a rainy and pro-democracy activists. the nobel committee honored her for her "fight against the oppression of women in iran and fight to promote human rights and freedom for all." stay with us, after a short break will be back to take you through the day. we will have more on the nobel peace laureate. thank you for being with us and i hope to see you after the break. ♪

>> it is 10:00 p.m. paris time. if you are just joining us, a big warm welcome. a jailed iranian activist wins the nobel peace prize. the women's rights campaigner is serving a 12-year jail sentence. to run decrying the award as politically motivated. a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother have been killed in a russian assault strike in the ukrainian city of kharkiv just after a separate strike killed

50 mourners at a cafe. turkish security forces have attacked militants in northeastern syria and eastern turkey in retaliation for an attack on its military base. thanks for joining us live from paris. the winner of the nobel peace prize, the iranian women's rights activist was unable to receive her award friday because she has been in prison since 2021 for challenging the clerical rule of tehran, tirelessly campaigning for women's rights and against the death penalty. the 51-year-old is now the second iranian woman to be awarded the prize following her

mentor, and look for it -- a lawyer who won in 2003. the award has been praised by the united nations but condemned by iran's foreign ministry as a biased move aimed at politicizing the prize. >> the imprisoned iranian rights campaigner honored by the nobel committee for continuing her work across much of two decades spent in and out of jail. arrested 13 times and sentenced to a total of 31 years in prison and 154 lashes, she is currently held at a notorious prison in tehran. she gave the following reaction -- >> surely the nobel peace prize will make me more resilient, determined, hopeful, and enthusiastic on this path and accelerate my pace. i will stay in iran and continue my civil activism alongside the oppressed even if i spend the rest of my life in prison.

>> seen here in amnesty campaign footage when she was briefly freed from jail back in 2021. she was once vice president of the band defenders of human rights center. she was already in prison during the recent protests over the death of 22-year-old mahsa amini in police custody when more than 25 people were killed in a heavy security crackdown with over 22,000 others arrested. from behind bars, she wrote an op-ed with "the new york times." >> what the government may not understand is that the more of us they lock up, the stronger we become. >> her husband hundred the movement. >> life, freedom. narges is one of the faces of this movement. this prize actually belongs to the people of iran, in particular those fighting for human rights. >> mohammadi is the second

iranian woman to win the nobel peace prize. >> russian missiles smashed into the eastern ukrainian city of kharkiv on friday. multiple buildings surrounded the debris-strewn crash site. they were scarred by debris with dozens of windows burned out. one struck a row in the center. >> dozens wounded in a residential area after the neighborhood was shaken awake in the early morning by two iskander and missiles. one landed in the road. the other, a three-story residential building, this man's home. >> the missile hit my flat directly. i pulled out my wife and younger son, but my father and older son, a 10-year-old, are still

there. the boy tried to pull him out. >> later to learn that both his mother and eldest son were killed in the strike. this despite moscow repeating claims on friday that its forces only strike military targets. >> they say that the iskander is a high position missile -- high precision missile. that means they immediate -- that means they intentionally had these targets. peaceful residents hit this house. -- peaceful residents live in this house. >> that attack came just hours after another deadly strike on a nearby village. at least 52 people were killed by a missile at a cafe where they had gathered for the wake of a soldier. earlier, we spoke to our correspondent who surveyed the

scene. this is what she witnessed. >> we are here on the site of pressure's deadliest missile attack against the ukrainian population. around 80 km away from kharkiv, 52 people died yesterday in what used to be a little shop, and a little cafe, right after the funeral of a soldier who is being reburied here. 52 people, among which a six-year-old child, among which the mother and the son of that soldier. there were around 300 inhabitants, that is 1-6 of the village which has been killed in a single strike, in a single strike yesterday. three days of mourning have been declared here, and you can see behind me rescuers are still searching the rubble for body

parts of the people killed yesterday in that attack. >> european leaders gathered in granada on friday and the latest talks offered a moment to reflect on the bloc's resilience. the latest eu summit proved competitiveness across the board. agreements also comprised of bolstering the single market, reducing external dependencies in green tech, raw materials, and critical medicine as well as boosting investment in research and skills. elsewhere, turkiye's military says it has conducted fresh strikes on kurdish targets in northern syria over into friday, destroying 15 militant targets. the country's defense ministry said it neutralized 36 militants coming in retaliation to a suicide bombing outside the ministry building earlier sunday. the pkk group claimed the attack

in that deadly attack sunday in which one person blew himself up and another would-be bomber was killed in a shootout with police. however, the militants are believed to be backed by the united states, leading to growing tensions with washington, especially after the u.s. military shutdown and armed turkish drone. to expand on the latest strikes, we turn now to our correspondent based in ankara, jasper mortimer. you have seen a significant change in the way that turkiye is carrying out these latest strikes. they are obviously not new, but it has been a difference to what you have witnessed. >> yes. in the strikes this week, they did not just hit military targets. they also hit energy targets, gasworks, power stations, oil facilities in northeastern

syria. one does not often hear of them hitting targets like that. it would seem to be that the aim was to degrade the quality of kurdish life in northern syria, to make civilians in the kurdish area of northern syria realize that they pay a price for having a militant base up the road. >> this is obviously an ongoing campaign by turkiye targeting these specific groups. where do you think this will go from here? what is turkiye's main objective ? where are they going? >> president erdogan's chief press spokesman said, "we will extinguish terrorism at its source, if it's in northern iraq or northern syria."

however, turkiye has been conducting cross-border raids into iraq and syria for more than 30 years now. many times the government has said, we are going to wipe out militants. we are going to extinguish terrorism. not just this government but previous governments led by the left prime minister, for instance, but it does not happen. if you speak to turkish army officers privately they admit that the only solution to kurdish militancy is a political one, and i'm absolutely sure that president no one knows that as well, but he is not prepared to pay the political price of seeking a negotiated solution. it would be expensive. >> we will see, of course, if he remains firm in his position,

not giving anything away politically. thanks so much for your insight. jasper mortimer talking to us about these latest turkish strikes. nicolas sarkozy is in trouble yet again. french judges filed preliminary charges against the former president on friday in a case linked to libya. preliminary charges which accused sarkozy of trying to mislead magistrates as he aims to clear his name from suspected illegal to financing for his 2007 presidential campaign. sarkozy has denied any involvement. the world health organization says dengue fever is set to become a major threat in the southern united states in southern europe and in parts of africa. it is already present in much of asia and latin america. rates of infection have gone up eightfold since the year 2000.

climate change is to blame as the mosquitoes that spread the deadly disease have now proliferated. >> it is yet another deadly consequence of rising temperatures. dengue fever is present in more and more regions around the globe, and the world health organization is sounding the alarm. >> we need to really prepare countries or how they will deal with the additional pressure that will come in the future in many big cities. >> more than 4.2 one million cases were reported around the globe in 2022. around 20,000 infected patients died from the disease. bangladesh alone has reported 1000 deaths from dengue fever this year, the worst outbreak to date. health professionals must coordinate sectors to treat the sick. >> it is like an emergency. we brought all of your doctors

under a central umbrella and scheduled our nurses, logistic manpower, and cleaners on rotation. we unified the system like we did during covid, and we applied what we learned to this situation now. >> the disease is spread by mosquitoes that survived in more regions of the world due to global warming. most positive cases go undetected, but as this patient describes, symptoms include fever, muscle spasms, and debilitating joint pain. >> aches and pains, headaches, no fever. i did not feel it fever, but maybe i did have one. difficulty walking. any effort was superhuman. >> only 1% of dengue fever cases are fatal, but the disease can lead to brain damage. the who approved a vaccine to fight the illness for the first time this week.

>> just another look back at the headlines this hour. jailed iranian activist narges m ohammadi wins the nobel peace prize. she serving 12 years in jail with her around the award as politically motivated. a 10-year-old boy and his grandmother have been killed in a russian missile strike in the ukrainian city of kharkiv. it comes just hours after a separate strike killed over 50 mourners at a cafe nearby. and turkish security forces have attacked kurdish militants in northern syria and eastern turkey as ankara retaliates for sunday's attack on its own military base. let's turn our are no to the world of business with charis carlin. thanks so much for joining us. he will be talking about one of the big four, kpmg, has a new ceo outlook for 2023.

>> this report is based on a survey of more than 1300 ceo's and is seen as a comprehensive temperature check for business leaders around the world. this year's big issues for ceo's work geopolitical tensions, navigating working from home in the post-pandemic era, and generative ai. turning me to talk more about this is the global head of clients and markets for kpmg. thank you for being with us this evening. >> great to be here. thanks for having me. >> let's start with the issue of political uncertainty. respondents consider the greatest threat to business growth, but it did not feature at all in last year's survey. what happened in the last 12 months to change that? >> i think it is tied to how confident they feel about the global economy as well. we found that three out of four ceo's are still reasonably confident in longer-term growth prospects for the economy by

starting to feel less certain about their own companies' perspectives. in the top risk, we see geopolitics faulting to number one of the top five. climate change dropping to number five and in between, things like emergency technology, operations and supply chain rounding out those top five. i believe we are seeing a manifestation of their concern about the threats facing their companies directly and turning more inwardly about how to navigate these risks. it is also interesting to note geopolitics did not make the top five last year even though the war in ukraine was well underway at that point. >> what about the issue of monetary policy? 70% of ceo's said higher rates could risk a global recession, but they also see the cost of living as pressure as well. >> that's again manifestation of

customer behavior direct affecting the bottom lines of these businesses. one of the other aspects of how that is playing out is fully 45% of french ceo's are holding money off the table. 1/3 of those globally feel the same way, but i thought it more pronounced in france. that's where you see the concern about the long-term interest rates and the ultimate impact it will have on local economies, global economies, and their own bottom lines. >> we are in the post-pandemic era trying to strike a balance between ways of working before covid and after covid. 87% of ceo's said they would likely -- they would be likely to reward workers who come back into the office. did these ceo's not see the benefits of employees working from home?

>> i think it is ceo's trying to return to what they thought was best about a pre-covid. 64% globally said they will mandate or require some form of return to in-office work and 87%, as you point out, said they would reward folks for it. that something they cannot mandate because of the intergenerational workforces we have today. i believe we will continue to see a hybrid and we are going to look for more carrots in terms of getting people back to the office for the benefits of collaboration and working together versus sticks. >> right. business leaders your survey are investing heavily in generative ai, but we know there are ethical challenges linked to this technology. for example, we have seen hollywood writers and actors going on strike because of the uncertainty around how this technology will be used in their industry. can we see that happening in any other industry, first of all, and for generative ai, do the

benefits outweigh these potential problems? >> we are a firm believer that generative ai is not going to replace people, but people that use generative ai will be replaced by people that don't use generative ai. it will definitely improve how work gets done, and it will improve the way people engage with technology. ceo's recognize that. 70% said it is their top investment area. they are worried about cyber risk, the lack of regulation, and how you upscale employees and clients, stakeholders, in terms of using generative ai. you have things like prompt engineering. how do you ask generative ai the questions you need to in order to help you do your job well? how do you create a closed loop so you can take advantage of the data you have as an organization and you are not co-mingling that with public information and

potentially releasing your property into the public domain? so many challenges, but it is growing exponentially, and all of us realize that there is more potential that outweighs the risks. >> it is indeed an interesting topic, and we will have to see how that involves -- how that evolves over the next few years. thank you. now for the final word on wall street for the week, stocks rally despite concerns that left jobs data for september will push the federal reserve to again hike interest rates. dow jones closing .87% higher. the s&p 500 adding 1.18%, and the nasdaq adding 1.6% at the bell. that rounds out the business news for now. >> always good to see the stocks rallying. it is time now for today's edition of truth or fake.

videos have been circulating on social media that claim to show volodymyr zelenskyy's wife and her secret russian passport, which has been discovered in a raid. what can you tell us? >> that is correct. according to a post on x, her handbag was discovered during a search of the couple's apartment in russian-occupied crimea. according to this video which allegedly shows a russian passport being confiscated from within the handbag, bearing her name alongside a photo of the ukrainian first lady. this allegation that president zelenskyy's wife holds a russian passport found on several corners of mainly russian online spaces. here it is on telegram, which i saw it earlier today. it has nearly 300,000 views there alone.

it was also seen posted on a very popular social media forum in russia. i also found it had even made its way into print. >> but now you have found reason to doubt the authenticity of this online coverage? >> yes, absolutely. that is correct. the date of issue is marked as 2014, but this photo was not even taken until this year, until 2023. i found this by reverse image searching that photo, and i actually found that the first instance that it appeared online was posted by the ukrainian first lady herself on her official instagram accounts. she posted it here as we can see back on march 20, 2023 in a post

she dedicated to the government of lithuania for their tremendous aid in helping the ukrainian war efforts. most interestingly about this post is that it does not actually meet the criteria set by russia in terms of their visa and passport photo specification criteria. the criteria as written on the website clearly specifies that all photos for russian passport users must be taken with a closed mouth, which we can see has not been followed in this picture. interestingly, we can also see that she is definitely -- this is very much a post portrait photo in front of the cameras. again, it does not meet the russian passport criteria specifies has to be taken on big white background. when it was indeed imposed onto that passport, we can see the curtain had been removed, which further again points to the fact

that this has been digitally manipulated. more than just a photo, there's also been inconsistencies in terms of the passport number. again, if we look at russian passport number rules, they first two digits of the russian passport number actually corresponds to the place of issue, the region of issue, in fact. according to the russian passport, that would be number 20, as we can see, which corresponds to the western russian region of orrin hatch, but the data at the top of this passport clearly indicates this was actually issued by the immigration office of the republic of crimea, and that is hundreds of kilometers away, as we can see on this map. it doesn't add up as to why that would be imprinted on an

official republic passport. there's also inconsistencies on the third and fourth digit, which read 20 as well. according to russian passport rules, those correspond to the date of issue, the last two members of the date of issue and if this was indeed issued in 2014, as it is alleged, then the third and fourth digits would be 14. again, they do not correspond, so there are a lot of inconsistencies in this passport . firstly, the data. none of the passport data matches the official rules set out by russia passport authorities, and the fact that the photo, again, it did not exist when this passport was allegedly issued. >> all she wanted to do was just take a good photo, but it turns out you just cannot do that, especially when so many people want to doctor it. this is not the first time she has been the victim of this kind of behavior, is it?

>> no, absolutely not. back in june, photos of a fake israeli passport also in her name went viral as well. this hit the internet around the same time she made an official visit to israel. there were also several inconsistencies in that fake passport as well. to name a few quickly, the place of birth. there were several misspellings in the hebrew in the passport data as well, but most interestingly, the date of issue and the date of expiry, there was actually only one day difference between them, but overall, this is just another attempt to discredit the ukrainian first lady and likely her husband as well. >> a fascinating roundup. thanks so much for such a thorough breakdown of why we have to check our facts once again.
