Russian attacks have left many towns and villages in Ukraine without power

Russian attacks have left many towns and villages in Ukraine without power.

More than a thousand towns and villages across Ukraine were left without power after massive Russian attacks. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 30% of Ukraine's power stations had been destroyed. So how are Ukrainians coping? We'll speak to three women to hear how they are adapting and preparing for the winter.

Also, anti-government protests are continuing in Iran, six weeks after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody. Thousands turned out on Wednesday night in fresh demonstrations across Iran to mark 40 days since her death. In a new crackdown on Thursday, security forces were reported to have attacked protesters who had gathered to mourn the death of another young woman. We'll speak to our correspondent to find out more and hear from people who have been protesting.

And we'll discuss a video released on social media in China, showing a drone carrying an armed robot dog. We'll talk about the drone, and what the future of modern war might look like.
