invasion of ukraine accusing vladimir putin of being shameless and reckless russian president has ordered the mobilization of hundreds of thousands more people to join the war as issued a veiled threat to use nuclear weapons. ah, oh i, mary, i'm noisy in london, you're watching al jazeera, also coming up on the program. more angry protests in iran over the death of a woman in police custody as the government tries to crack down by blocking social media. di warnings of another disaster in pakistan. well, water born disease is spreading out of control off to the west floods in memory, and an indigenous community on a remote australian island. when's a landmark case against one of the countries biggest energy companies?

ah. hello and welcome to the program. western positive lashed out against russian president vladimir putin of the ordered hundreds of thousands more troops to join the war and ukraine. at an early morning address, putin announced rushes 1st war time mobilization since the 2nd while war. and even threatened to use nuclear weapons to defend his country. that was a match with a course of condemnation at a while, not just diplomatic gathering, the united nations general assembly u. s. president joe biden told the u. m, that russia's actions and ukraine should make that blood run cold. let us speak plainly. a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbor, attempted to erase the sovereign state from the map. russia has shamelessly

violated the court. tenants of united nations charter. no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force. currently, russian men aged $18.00 to $27.00 are obliged to do military service usually for a year with exemptions for medical grounds and also for students. this means russia could, in theory, mobilize 25000000 people with military experience. but the kremlin insist that con scripts won't be sent to fight in ukraine. and beginning of the year, russia had $900000.00 active troops. ukraine's forces are much smaller with just more than a $196000.00. but cave has since ordered mass mobilization, which boosted its numbers. russia launched its invasion of ukraine with a 190000 troops. in february, a partial mobilization means another 300000 reserves will be drafted to fight in

ukraine. from wednesday, russian defense minister sergey sugar, also announced around 6000 soldiers have died in the conflict. so far, in the month of july, the united states estimated $15000.00 russian troops have been killed since the invasion began. anders there is gabriel elizondo reports now from ukrainian capital . keith. with battle, you've lost his mountie. m. ukrainian counter offensive advancing russian president vladimir says now was the time to mobilize more troops, yet as a she the mission to protect up motherland its sovereignty and territorial integrity to ensure the security of our nation and people of the liberated areas. i consider it necessary to call for a partial mobilization in russia. for the defense minister says as many as 300000 russian reservists will report for duty immediately. but more could be called up if

necessary, thought and also confirmed that he would push a head with a referendum in for regions of ukraine, including the don bass. the referendum will ask one question. do you want to join the russian federation? that referendum, often a precursor to full annexation of territory, could happen as early as this week. he might go. president blood amused lensky urged allies to focus on what is important for ukraine. the drum kit is running a little bit more support for the armed forces for intelligent services, for the special operations and security service, for the national guard police, and the border guards for everyone who's gradually restoring a territorial integrity. western allies have said they will not recognize a russian lead referendum or annexation of ukrainian territories. calling it illegal. some analysts call a referendum, a pre determined sham, and a desperate ploy by potent there is no free media to talk. and to talk her about

the issue, there is no inflection observe as there is no fair counting, et cetera, et cetera. and even without talking about all illegality of the theme, because it's an dani violation of ukrainian and international. but in his speech pu, left little doubt, he is ready to escalate this war. warriors, civilian russia has a variety of weapons of destruction. did he some more modern, those and nato countries as i shoot there. and if our territorial integrity is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to protect russia and our people. this is not a love. it's unclear of moving more troops to the front lines and annexing ukrainian territory will be enough to turn the tide in an operation that hasn't gone according to prudence plan. what is clear, what is this war is changing, did on, and potentially entering a new, even more dangerous phase. gabriel. as armando al jazeera keith

or protest, supposing present potions, military mobilization of being held across russia. thousands have been arrested at demonstrations in the capital, moscow and in the city of st. petersburg pictures also show people being taken away by police in the western sissy of catherine berg monitoring groups, as it's aware of detentions, and at least 36 different cities rush opposition on wednesday or for protest to be held against this latest military push at all. mike kind of joins us now from united nations in new york. tell us more about what the west president had to say, mike. well, president biden was extremely strong on russia's actions in ukraine describing it as a brutal and needless war. he also called for the general assembly as a whole, to unite in a stance against what he called me

a putin's aggression. he was also responding to that mobilize ation oppression forces some 300000 being mobilized. he also accused of letting me a putin of making nuclear threats, saying that a nuclear war cannot be fought and it cannot be won. so president, fight and joining a long line of leaders at the u. n. g, a in terms of criticizing sharply the action. so let me put, and we've heard that from the french president mac crohn, who described this as a new form of imperialism. a word echoed by the german chancellor of schultz. so the west, generally within the united nations, uniting against russian action at president biden. now joining that whole group that is attempting to pressure vladimir putin to reverse his action within ukraine . on another note, the president biden also joining the number of calls that be made. put security

council reform saying that the security council should be enlarged. this was a call made by the german chancellor yesterday. it was also a call made by the kenyan president and his speech a short while ago, who described security council as an democratic and unrepresentative. so this is also something that is gaining traction at this united nations general assembly. my, what about is reports that russia has released 10 form prisoners of war any more information about well, everybody is keeping very silent about that. not wanting to go public until this is actually concluded. what appears to be happening is that there's some sort of detainees swap underway. now we understand that the ukrainians, along with a took care have been negotiating the release of detainees. we're not sure whether that in russia or being held in russian hill territory. but we do understand that

as many as 10 detainees have now been released or had been released from russian custody. and we understand they are on their way or in saudi arabia, which has joined this effort to explore up detainees as we go along. but there's been no confirmation of this from any you and source. as i said, the real desires to wait for this all to happen for it to be completed before going public with the full details of what is happening. thank you very much. latest from united nations general assembly. my can reporting til us people in iran saying they cannot log into whatsapp or instagram and are experiencing widespread internet disruptions as angry protests bride. nationwide. anti government rallies are being held over the death of massa mimi who died on friday after being detained by what's known as the morality police. at least 7 people have died and the unrest,

sorry. hi, right reports. ah, demonstrates is an iran push back against the forces in miss hood, consisting with crowds confronted security forces and 70 cities in the capital to her on protest is of hold for an end to discrimination against women. i mean he had been visiting to her on with her brother fully say she was arrested for dressing improperly. she collapsed in custody and died several days later in hospital. her family say she was beaten and that before the arrest she was fits and had no health issues. the morality police have denied reports of beating and miss treatment saying she died of natural causes. the un has called for an independent investigation, compulsory veiling laws remain of concern in iran,

where appearing in public without a head job is punishable by imprisonment. in recent months, the so called morality police have expanded st. patrolled, subjecting women perceived to be wearing use a job to verbal and physical harassment and arrest iran law requiring women to wear had gone in public date from the 1979 resolution fact that has been cool to make it voluntary in the past few days. thumbs have been burning their vale for many years. i think people have lost their trust into the government as a may be. they have no hope at what's going to happen. what's going to be our pump . iran supreme leader didn't address to protest during his speech on wednesday, thought state media report that his age is to the mean, the family, and promised to investigate fully a meaning was from the province of kurdistan. in western iran with 3 people were allegedly killed on monday during protesting. the 22 year old funeral was held in

her hometown a long way from where she died. now he runs opposition, wants to make her a symbol, to fight for women's rights. so i'll just, sarah was for here un general assembly iran president accuse aware of having double standards of women's rights. julius nami, a standard lawyer, ducandi slumber republic of iran considers the double standards of some governments of his of human rights as the most important factor of the institutionalization of the violation of human rights, which resulted in various and numerous dances towards an incident which is under investigation in this law, mac republic of iran, and a deadly silence about the killing of dozens of defenceless women in a short period of time in one of the western countries. while these double standards exist, human rights will not be saved from the sting of repeated violations superior than human rights are the rights of nations,

which are easily trampled by oppressive powers. yes and in that of o. u. o, tara st. very far as an iran we sat check, human rights watch. she joins us live now from washington, dc. the death of nasa. i mean a, was the catalyst for these protests. why has it unleashed such frustration and anger on the streets of iran? i think for the past few years, the topic of compulsory, her job and abuse of enforcement, of these laws have been the center of political debate. and i think the public correctly understands that this mass, i mean, was not an isolated event. only a credible in partial investigation can shed light into circumstances of her death . but she should have never been arrested in the 1st place. and the violence that is being used by, perpetrated by morality, police, against the women is

a systemic issue. and over the past few months, we have had several incidents, the police using violence against them and are punishing women who speak up against these, these incidents of violence. so role masses, the trash can itself and a catalyst. it's an indicative of a systemic problem. and i think the general public is correctly calling for an end to the abuse that is enshrined in law and enforced by by a law enforcement. we've seen a steady stream of images and videos on social media, which appeared to show gatherings taking place in several cities across the country . we just now mentioning that has been some disruption to instagram and what's out which could affect to the, the way in which people are able to organize themselves, getting any information about the sort of size and scale of the unrest now a, so the just has been continuing for 5 days,

i think the significant of the process is that it has and he's happening in the capital. the scale may have decreased today, but it's continuous and in various small and large cities, including in for this area as well as universities. so they're definitely widespread, unfortunately, cutting access to internet and internet shut down has been the to go a strategy for, for iranian authorities to respond to these, both as and they've become much more competent and implementing internet shut down . and now the domestic outlets are also reporting disruption of access to what 7 instagram and internet at the center on, which is intended to disrupt the simulation of information, particularly images and footages outside of the country. tell us more about who specifically is involved in this protest, the kind of demographic age group background of the people taking pon it's not just women, is it? no, but it's led by women and i think it's very significant. it's

a very rare occasion that the general public has come to the street and rallied around an issue, and it's centered around women's rights as women's autonomy um, for decades, iranian women have been fighting compulsory. her job was, as well as other discriminatory, discriminatory laws and practices that impose restriction under law. so it's pretty significant that women are in many ways playing a significant role, but it's accompanied by the general public and men in bigger cities in smaller areas. actually, one of the main slogans is women life breed, at which i think in comp as as some of the most important struggles that the general public demands, accountability and, and actually tora separate thought. thank you very much for joining us from human

rights watch. thank you. for having without a 0 lie from london more still to bring you on the program. hearken, fiona continues to rip through the caribbean. even 5 people dead. and puerto rico without power. ah ah, there's been a cold shock in central and particularly eastern europe with snow falling on all the high ground over the last few days from germany down to well currently, most likely bulgaria. but to the west of it all, things quite nice and settled on sunday. it's reasonably warm and a good part of france, spain and portugal. there is rain coming in our frontal systems valley across the british. i'll so london's down to 18 in, in the rain on friday, also about 14,
