ah oh hi and what official and line of the journey both jen and is in the police violently. the 1st thing protest this, these are sort of a book, tens of thousands of people try to flee global, inspired to program making. welcome to generation chains, unrivalled with broadcasting. white people did not want black children in their school. we have to fight for crafted and al jazeera english proud recipient. the new york festivals broadcaster the year award for the 6 year running, hulu. ukraine in

russia exchange more than 200 prisoners of war, even as the battle field. rhetoric heats up and ukrainian president vladimir zalinski addresses, world leaders at the un general assembly laying out his conditions for peace with russia. ah, i'm thorough venue. thank you so much for joining us. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also coming up in the show. 3 more people killed in iran is protests, continue after the death of a young woman in police custody. and an indigenous community on a remote australian island winds, a landmark court case against one of the country's biggest energy companies. so remarkable stock. ah, so a senior official from ukraine says that 205 ukranian prisoners of war have been released

by russia. in return the leader of a band pro russia party, victor. that shook plus $54.00 russian prisoners were released by keith. that exchange was negotiated by turkey. also, 10 foreigners who fought alongside ukrainian forces were released by russia, sent the saudi arabia, that agreement, mediated by re at a, joining us live from bethesda, maryland is dave de, rosh. he is a non resident senior fellow at the gulf international form. dave talked to me about this, this prisoner swap, the timing, and what it means. yeah, i'm not sure about the timing a lot of times with prisoner swaps. they're significant just because when they happen, they're significant. but of course you have the un general assembly going together . saudi arabia and turkey seem to have a new era cooperation. there's discussion of joint production of charles, for example. but i think it's basically designed to get positive buzz in to enhance

the status of both countries that have a feel that they're not getting the respect they deserve in the west at a time when all the leaders of the world are together, new york. so what's surprising here is that it comes on the same day that we've heard so much bellicose rhetoric. what's, what do we take away from this? that yes, there is what seems to be an escalation, but there is also an avenue for mediation. well, at least on the limited issue, a prisoner exchanges. i mean, both sides have a lot of incentive to do this to exchange prisoners. moscow clearly want the situation where it's pres it's soldiers taken prisoners are not tried for war crimes, even if they've committed them. and what they've done to kind of put leverage on the ukranian side is they generally announce that prisoners are held not by moscow, but by the 2 puppets they have set up in the don best. that would also force other

intermediaries to deal with these countries with these provinces, as if they were countries the same time, you know, the presence of foreign prisoners be released moscow and moscow to puppets have threatened to try them as war criminals just because you know, they're not ukrainians. so it's a very, very complicated issue, and i'm not sure if the timing is as significant as, as we might think of this. all right, it just takes a long time to do these things. got a point point. well, take stand by, stay with me because there's more, i want to get your, your reaction to and it is that russian president vladimir putin announced that he was calling up reservists to fight in ukraine. he said this during an address to the nation. listen, ship, mom, but it is necessary to support the proposal of administrative defense and the general staff to hold a partial military mobilization in russia. i repeat, we are talking of a partial mobilization only only people in the military reserve will be drafted by

the priority will be on people who served in the armed forces. they have military specialization and experience. those drafted before being sent to the places of service will have mandatory additional training relying on experience gained during the special military operation. the decree on partial mobilization has been signed . so they've pretty obvious question here. what, what impact do you see this partial mobilization having on the war? yeah, good question. so the real impact is not the mobile ization, but the fact that by signing this, the contract soldiers now serving in ukraine who have the option to leave, to just resign their contracts and go home. they don't have that option anymore. that's the real issue there. because, you know, a lot of russian units were saying, oh my gosh, i don't want to go back into this meat grinder and they were being definitely the 1st main impacts. the 2nd impacts is less than it might appear because, you know, you can take soldiers, but you have to have a system to train them, classify them,

integrate them, bring them up to speed and equip them. russia doesn't really have that all of their experience officers and in ceo's are fighting in ukraine now or their dad. and then the, the 3rd reason why this is not as good as it might seem for militarily is because russia the evolve this on the 85 different regions in russia. so they basically said to, you know, these different provinces, ok, give us some of your reservists. now given what we know about rushing ever been and how it works, ample opportunity for local corruption. so i think what you're going to wind up is getting people who don't have money or don't have connections and who may or may not be suitable for service being fed into the meat grinder. basically, if it's more troops in an already flawed system, it show it shouldn't change anything significantly. well, well, hold on because i take your point that this not be the most professional army,

and i understand the flaws that you highlighted. nonetheless, one wonders, 3 months from now, 4 months from now as we see tens, hundreds, maybe of thousands of, of new russian soldiers flood into the ukrainian, near the ukrainian front line. does that swing the momentum of the conflict back towards russia potentially? well, yeah, yeah. yeah, that's a very good point in your right to call me out on it. you know, the fall, it quantity has the quality all its own. but you know what, your, when you say reservists in the ukraine in the russian service, that's not somebody who goes to drill. that's usually just somebody who served in the armed forces some time ago and has no additional training. so they're not, they, the russia doesn't have the ability to really put these guys through a prolonged period of force. they can hold a rifle, they can or sit in a trench, they can arguably repellent attack. they can be expected to have some level of nationalist pride, but what russia needs are units capable of complicated maneuver coordinate with

fire in your control. they don't have the time or the ability to train these guys for that. so, you know, you're, you're mostly looking at untrained ground replacements, and i think it's going to be less than meets the eye. but i could be wrong before i let you go on the nuclear threat. one more things, lensky says essentially don't take pollutants. nuclear threat seriously. he's just trying to scare you. how does that sit with you? because putin is someone who often makes good on his threats. well, he, yes, so we've had a nuclear threats from day one. and to some extent they've been successful. you know, i mean, a lot of the, um, high, high mars, for example, the u. s. s. basically put conditions that these will not be used for attacks within the borders of russia. you know, so they commute in crimean don bass, but not in st belgrade, which is the logistical hub for most of the military operations in ukraine. so,

so puts nuclear return has worked to a certain extent. i think that what zalinski is concerned, the said the western countries were running out of stuff. you will find that to be a convenient excuse not to actually dig deeper and keep up the supply of material that ukraine needs to be fact rushman fish or a dave de rush. we appreciate your time and insights. thank you very much. san honor. earlier speaking, it un general assembly ukraine's president told world leaders to punish russia for its invasion of ukraine. already mere lensky said that moscow wasn't serious about ending the war. a crime has been committed against ukraine and we demand just punishment. the crime was committed against our state borders. the crime was committed against the lights on our people. the crime was committed. again, the dignity of all women and men. the crime was committed again, the values that make you and me

a community of the united nations. and ukraine to mass banishment, port trying to steal our territory punishment for the murders of thousands of people. and his address to the un general assembly you as president joe biden declared rushes invasion of ukraine, a violation of the global order. 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 the united nations charter. no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force. as of here was allan fisher is falling all of this at the united nations . allan, let's start with mr. the lensky speech. what did you take away from that address?

well, a couple of things. first of all, he points to the fact that the united nations in his you need to do more to punish russia in the united nations. you said you've got to take away the right to vote. you've got to take away the veto and the security again. so you've got to deprive the delegations of the accreditation that he believes would send a clear message that you can't be the aggressor. you can't endure biden's what break the tenants of the united nations and then expect to sit on the body that's making decisions. and then he reiterated something we've had several times from him before. he talked about the 5 point plan to bring peace to ukraine, which he says, there's no negotiable among that includes punishment for russia, for the martyrs, for the war crimes, for the, the mass graves that are being uncovered, he says that has to be security guarantees for ukraine because they don't want to be fighting wars for the next 20 years or so. and he also called for an end to the

fighting, as you would suspect. and the respect of ukraine's territorial borders essentially arching russia to move back to where they were before the offensive started, including the one in crimea. let him use the landscape, had to get special permission to present this speech. this 25 minutes speech to the un security council, he believes that ukraine can win the war. although he pointed to flooding opinions, remarks about mobilize ations, saying that is a sure sign that the russians don't want to an end to the war. but he said, look, we can win this war, it's just going to take time. it's going to take money and it's going to take munitions, essentially saying to the international community, if you stand by us, you're in this for the long haul. yeah, alan lensky has been pushing and pushing and pushing since the beginning of the conflict, the rally the international community behind ukraine. today he had a global audience. do you feel he move the needle at all?

i that will be something that we can tell in the days it to come. certainly in the hall itself, he got a standing ovation from the majority of the delegates were there. he's talked about the countries that supported him. he pointed to the countries that voted against him, presenting his speech by video conference, said there were 7 of them, and it's essentially tagging them as friends of russia. and so when the standing ovation came, i'm sure that's a sign that most people are with ukraine at the russians of course, sat stoically, they didn't clap and they certainly didn't stand. alan fisher reporting live from the united nations in new york. thank you very much. still ahead on al jazeera, dire warnings of another disaster in pakistan where water born diseases are spreading out of control after the worst floods in memory. and hurricane fiona continues to rip through the care of the leading at least 6 people den.

strip moscow of it's vito. at the un security council, earlier, russian president vladimir putin announced that he was calling up reservists to boost its military operation in ukraine. our diplomatic editor james basses at un headquarters in new york. he spoke to the estonian foreign minister about president putin speech. your reaction to what president putin has announced in recent hours. there were 2 things. there was a mass mobilization of call up of more troops, and there was a veiled threat of what he might do. let's take them one by one. first the mass mobilization. what do you think that shows up with regard to the russian military in the state of the russian? well, i think it is or was a comprehensive package. and the audience was a western community. and the target was to show that putting that in mind to get the what he wants and her, he will my arise indeed the price. and i think

his message was clear that he is going for basically started slicing ukraine them stated on his terms. and we're using the new clara deterrence, in terms of the nuclear threat. he said, we've got lots of things we can use and we may use everything we've got. and i'm not bluffing. how worried should people be about putin using a tactical nuclear weapon? not to worried because a, all the logic of nuclear well symmetrical deterrence is that you will keep it on the level of mutual not that deterrence. and well, there is also ambivalence in western response in that case. and what is important is that a russian regime has used it already several times also in the course of this or war. and they did it to her to avoid the delivery of heavy weaponry from wester to

ukraine. and so we should not be in frightened. this was the core message of putting be in frightened and let sir basically fragment ties, the western unity. we should do a white version. and people in iran say they can't log into whatsapp or instagram and are experiencing widespread internet disruptions. is anti government protests spread nationwide? rallies are being held over the death of masa immediate. she died on friday after being detained by what's known as the morality police. at least 7 people have died in the unrest. sarah, hi, ross reports ah, demonstrates is an iran fish back against authorities in mesh heard her to sing the death of my meaning. ah, angry crowds confronted security forces in several cities in the capital to her on protest is of called for an end to discrimination against women.

which devastated the island of puerto rico in 2017, killing almost 3000 people. many are expressing a sense of relief that the scale of the devastation was not nearly as bad as last time. but we're still talking about across the island somewhere around 40 percent of residents here still don't have power. many don't have running water and the authorities are working to restore energy, but they still, they say that it could still be several days before everyone on the island has power again. and the u. s. central bank has raised interest rates, the highest level in almost 15 years as it fights to get inflation under control. and it has hinted that there may be at least 2 more hikes before the end of the year. hey, did you castro reports from washington, dc? you are central bankers and alpha federal funds, interest rate will increase buying another 3 quarters of a percent. for the 3rd time in a row, it was an aggressive though widely expected move in an effort to bring down stubbornly, high inflation. still soaring at above 8 per cent. a 40 year high and the u. s. the
