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 nicole fairly in berlin, and this is the day the i one the to be asked human calling to see why, her brain troubles has come with tremendous personal costs in georgia is the, this price that has been awarded to knock us send some message to the women. If iran that the world is paying attention to the activities and protests of a rainy and women. Hopefully this price will be another task in putting pressure on this reading. Also, on the day, the polish 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 uncover the fraud and those who say they benefit from it. And so i think is fisher. We started to 12 the pot and then what we find out, well, the places in the world thats and thats a nice 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 it could arrange something. Welcome to the show. Its been years since the last hunter children or saw her husband largest mohammed. He 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 their rights, their being deprived of a Firm Believer in transformation through a powerful civil society. Her work gained urgency during the protest that followed the death of geno mazda. I mean, now her courage and that the movement that looks up to her, ive been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement started with the rallying cry of last years uprising and the issues at the core of mohammed, these lifelong battle women, life freedom. Heres the rest of it. Suffice for women against 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 drews require requiring women to remain out of sight and cover up the body. We can now speak to roy of were a mom, shes one of the founders of the, of the roman bore amman 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, not, i guess my, my, the is, has been at the forefront of activism in iran. It goes to this penalty for womens rights, for childrens rights. It goes torture against um, sort of a 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 each one young women and their, their current because they have been fighting for the rights since the 1979. I mean, since before 1975. But since now the 1979, you know, the fight has become very existential. And so, because a, this is a very big a narc, as mohammed a, has been at the forefront of that 5 for human rights for womens 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 as she was in prison and therefore, you know, she couldnt be out and present in the protest. But she, um, she puts 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 theres and puts out information that is useful to actually, i mean, you know, in, in many different ways. She has shown extreme cottage during this time difficult time. But i think, you know, that she appears shes very strong headed and shes very principled and are teaching it at the same time. I think each time there are um the Human Rights Violations increase each time we have keatings and protests and people who are tortured. I have to be like here, take a take, it hits, they, you know, its, 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 doesnt stop. Yeah, she doesnt stop and she believes that change can only be achieved by effecting it from within, through a strong civil society. But the regime has successfully and violently over the past decade. Squash defend and protest, time and time again. What do you think itll take for the people to overpower the oppressors . Thats a very difficult question. You know, as soon as 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 active is it could operation between city Society Inside, im assuming society outside, i think what it takes for iranians to win. If that is what they want and for days long as republic to give, you know, to, to be replaced by more democratic regime. Or they need the opens 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 dont want to be in arms struggles. 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, do you in the details of your own, have to be held accountable. They have to know, thats what they do to people like that. Just my how my do 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 shawn, 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 these, 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 worlds community. Yeah, because everywhere we have a democracy, everyone is a 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 official say a 10 year old boy and his grandmother were killed and a Russian Missile attack in the northeastern city of har keys, dozens more were wounded. It was the 2nd attack to hit civilians in the same region and as many days screening authorities claim the strike on nearby rosa killed or injured members of every Single Family in the village. Todays 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 hes put you on the board, the or for january, boy, nice in the wreckage office, destroyed home. And not the wisdom of suggestion, your strength for the boy father. Its only too much if i hit my apartment directly, i poured out my youngest son and vice my mother and my oldest son. I still do. The rescue workers are trying to pull him out shortly after all hopes crumbling. His mother also didnt make it after life this morning the enemy launched to him aside strikes. But the scandal assigns on the central part of the city of hockey. One rocket hit the ground near hyde ice. President s with buildings, buildings were damaged and people who are injured the attack scheme just the often and not the russian strikes in the same region. You clean face and its gone. The messiah gate, more than 50 people got there for the funeral. In a window of about 300 residents. This thank you very much. I saw the smoke and then i started calling my brother. But my brother didnt answer and neither did his wife. My mom didnt on that either. I got to do my nephew and he said, im going to come here, mom, dad and grandma, out under that opposite of this was one of the that lift attacks on civilians since the start of fresh as water and you cream most school has again said its only a dox military targets. But that argument starting to vary pin and the u. N is not investigating before that. We start once again, the International Humanitarian little in particular, the rules on conduct, the possibilities must be strictly respected. Read that the strikes hit, the intended target or not. The daily attacks are leaving many with a repair to post office. Earlier this week, the us congress narrowly avoided a government shut down, but the 11th hour deal raised alarms and ukraine and the allied nations as it includes no new aid for the war town and country. Since then, president ial buying a saw to leave a concerns allowing the us whats 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. Lets listen i as well, youre right. We do have a situation right now where we have whats called a continuing resolution in the United States. And that resolution does not include any increased support for ukraine. That 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, weve been through similar scenarios in the past, but i think the president sent a very clear message to our partners and allies and to the people of ukraine that the u. S. Leadership that weve been able to provide since the war started will continue. And i dont think theres any question about not only us support, but i want to also take a minute and think 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 us leadership that what are you hearing from the other nato allies of a preparing to followed you in the funding cause . Whats the reaction being to every team is going on in washington . I think weve 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 the 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. And this moment americans fundamentally understand whats 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 thats what im 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 and expect and anticipate our allies across the Nato Alliance to keep providing the important assistance that theyve been donating as well. So moving on, media reports are saying that most guy might be preparing to test a Nuclear Powered mix. 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 should have powered miss. Ok . Well, i dont 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 theyve talked about the potential use of Tactical Nuclear weapons. Thats been something that they, they have threatened. I will say we take their rhetoric seriously, whether its in regards to the potential use of Nuclear Weapons or testing um some other future capability. But at this point, we dont see any clear indication that theyre preparing to use anything and theyre nuclear arsenal. But we will continue to monitor the situation and weve message them that there would be pretty severe consequences if they were to do so. Us Somebody Just tomato janelle smith, thank you for joining us. Some d w. Thank you. Poland. Its 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 imposes taking in migraines. And Asylum Seekers from asia, africa, and the middle east to arrive in other parts of the block. Just today, poland joined, hungry and rejecting a joint statement on a migration reform at a leader summit of 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 sol. 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 should have at least kitchen stuff or were calling mohan just got his papers renewed. But getting here wasnt easy. He had to apply to the embassy in india. Then when we go india, there they will not, the money is almost like that, but the 3rd percent will take too much. Money is problem for, for me to send it. So we have to, you know, put our lands and other things in the bank and we get the money and we pay, they didnt see. Yeah. After of digging money they would have stories like this one have sparked immediate storm here in poland. Does have to be bought, shot is one of the few newspapers which regularly criticizes the National Conservative government. And when a minister was suddenly sacked last month, investigative journalists followed elite. So i think its sufficient. We start to 12 the pot and then would be find out. Uh, well, the places in the what in africa and asia where 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. Authorities 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 press and opposition. Indeed, there was a group that decided to start the criminal activity and taking bribes in exchange for expediting some of the procedures. No visa was granted to anyone in exchange for a bride. There was no breed when it comes to the security procedures. Our persecutors are already terminating charges against those people and they need to be fun. Is not the reports have already travelled far and wide. Cool, and is part of the shang and area. 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 block even more so i was reluctant to take in any my friends and Asylum Seekers from other parts of europe. Some you politicians have been particularly unimpressed by the latest revelations. The prison this on 3 years the populace are right, has painted, visiting with a migraine, is evil personified, immigration as the root of all are evils. All of this will popularly rhetoric to hi, derek, going incompetence as the 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 route. And with days to go, all sides are fighting for each and every vote. Rosie pritchard filed that report. Enjoys this now from crack out, rosie you look very closely at the scandal. Now. Is this a case of a few bad apples as the polish government is claiming, or is this really systematic fraud . Well, that is the question which is on everyones lips here. And it 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, were 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 the hundreds of thousands because they are looking at the total number of these is the poland has issued for work permits. Id say, well, if its happened in a couple of cases, a couple of 100 cases, perhaps it could have happened in all of these cases too. So its certainly something which is really heating up the political debate here. And i can tell you, ive 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 isnt necessarily a good look at something theyre 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 its worth. So not a good look domestically, but not a good look internationally either other countries havent been amused about this. What has the International Fall of been we saw some of the international followed already just in the last couple of days because poland has officially no imposed border checks on its Border Crossing with slovak. You know, you might think, how is this related . And some would say, its not related a toll, but there are certainly critics who would argue that what poland is trying to do is look tough on migration, particularly ahead of the selection on to its neighbors who are some of them at least concerns by based on deflect from the scandal which has been unfolding and nbc, so right in the world. Apparently know weve already seen, for example, germany, impose some checks on crossings from its border with poland. And there been other countries which have been taking similar steps. Not necessarily in regard to poland, but just in general, the last few days weve seen really this debate around migration in the u. Irregular migration. And we the moving up the political agenda. We see that among the discussion of you, yours 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, im 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, ive been looking into them and they say that prove that their system is actually working. Im certainly the 1st letter it was deemed as simply insufficient in terms of the answers that brussel says its looking for. So the International Record of 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.
