ah ah ah ah, this is the w news life from birth in russia. it calls up reservists to find in ukraine. president vladimir putin announces the partial mobilization in a national address. this comes as moscow plans to hold so called referendums in occupied balance of ukraine and urgent push to claim the territories for russia.

leaders condemn roches referendums, plans at the united nations general assembly, germany's chaslek bloss russia for what he calls a war of imperialism against you. credit uh, filter tells you when he must be to fight back germany commits to nationalizing the biggest importer of brush and gas. the latest chapter in increasingly expensive bailout of energy companies and a drama that's likely far from ova and fi is of a new escalation in the conflict between ethiopia and the trouble tick right region and submit reports that neighboring here tre is supporting ethiopian forces in a full scale offensive against to grind fighters. ah, i've been puzzled and nice to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin

says he has signed it a cree ordering the partial military mobilization of russia's armed forces, beginning to date in an address to the nation boot and said reservists will be drafted into the army to fight in ukraine. he said the aim is to liberate the don bass region. the announcement comes a day after separate us leaders in brushing, controlled to once done yet separation, and has san said they will hold so called referendums on joining russia. the move could swallow up around 15 percent of ukrainian territory, who acknowledges the west doesn't want peace in ukraine yet as a sheet enough to protect our motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity to ensure the security of our nation and people in the liberator territories. i consider it necessary to support the defense ministries and general staffs proposals to hold partial mobilization in russia mobility donated us. i can also is a security and rush or expert at king's college london. she says, booting decision is a reaction to russia's faltering military campaign in ukraine. wally clearly shows

eg foods when i was very concerned about the losses in hard peeved in the cock hockey region. he's probably was under a lot of russia to do something about that and because the russian conferences experiencing problems with manpower, this became the on so the on full series and the military had been asking for, for, for mobilization, for quite some time. this is considered sort of partially mobilization by the good actually eventually lead to a more sort of substantial for mobilization. and so these would probably result in $99.00, a 9 potentially escalation on the prolongation of the war. there will be a lot of pressure to provide addition and weaponry to ukraine to consolidate the, the winds on the ground. and ukraine as a slowly continuing to advance in areas are on the car to keeping the hair to some region as well. so you grandsons have made

a significant progress and they sort of place in their favor. but, but of course they, they influx of new full says con, you know, come present challenges for with a ukrainian on forces. so is this a clear sign of russia regrouping and aiming to replenish the front front lines of double down on you kind of the territory that's been taken back by keith? yes, yes. i mean, 1st to sort of consolidate the gainesville right. you have made on this is why the referendums are being headed to sort of they come hand in hand. so consolidate that lines that they already occupy whole, these shows shambrika brenda. i'm then made sure that there is some kind of rotation with those troops that are on the front line and might be already a bit exhausted. so you can try to bringing a new fresh forces on then i sort of headed with the training of those school who sort of have, have been asked to, to, to come in and provide support,

so dresser and extend to, you know, we have to see in the next weeks how they sort of fans out. but i would expect that russia may try maybe to regain some of their last lines. it's interesting to note that referendums are going to be held in regions that are not completely under rushing to control the areas, for example, they don't yet school bless, which remain under ukrainian control of the same applies to that but easy on her to son. so, you know, the big question here is whether russia we tried to push further afield or would, would sort of just simply trying to consolidate games. i think that this is a, it's going to depend very much from how based mobilization actually is kind of a dot out how effectively days on how much a boarding house in general, in russia. we know that there is a position at these kind of mobilization in russia. how is it being

received? because there are signs of many russians want to get out of the country before they can scripted. yes, of course already since yesterday we, we know that we would, there seems to be evidence that you're not trying to leave the country also families, you know, mothers with children. so there is a lot of concern and some sort of opposition groups have all the, you know, for a demonstrations to day, especially the groups are, you know, the individuals around and nobody needs organization as well as others. so, you know, we, we can expect some for potentially, some kind of time already because, you know, russians were very supportive among, you know, among certain sectors of the russian society. there was support for the separation . but as long as he didn't really involve sending a high number of young kids to the front, and now that russians may start feeling the war on their front,

on their footstep on their doorstep. i think the, you know, the position on the support for these conflict might start to erode over to this. i have also from king's college on that. thank you. i also spoke with the w correspondence, manuel shes in khaki and asked her about ukraine's response to boot was planted. ralph hundreds of thousands of russian reservists. ah, well, the reaction here are in ukraine is, are, you know, people are not, are, you know, are not, or where read are more done. they were already, or beforehand were not in the same situation than they are. we were and our for february, beginning of march, wendy invasion from russia, which is just 35 kilometers away from where i stand here in hard cave as started now. and, you know, russia already struggles to maintain its current position around a new front line after the ukrainian or counter offensive. and also it lasts

a key city. is that where we take him by the ukranian armed forces? i'm thinking about, but i clear i'm thinking about is you are where, you know, are there were those where military halves where troops or could arrest where material equipment could be transferred from russia. russia doesn't have those bases anymore. and or what's more ukraine, unease much better prepared, better armed to face any prospective new invasion. and perhaps just to give you an idea of the mood at the head of the presidential office a tweeting there shortly after a putins announcement about mobilization. and he just tweeted a picture ah, of fighting in ender our did at times i've been saying we're continuing our so of course this is not great news for ukraine, but are so they're continue on fighting and is offensive. this counter offensive is still gaining momentum. it's still gaining momentum. bud comes amid

these plants, all of a sudden to hold so called referendums in separate his hell territories in ukraine in the next few days is housed. you claim responding to that well, ukraine will never recognize. those are so called referendum they hold no legal or legitimacy or just as a referendum are held in 2014 in crimea, didn't. and wasn't, are either recognized by the international community or, you know, are we talking about for regions? no hands don't ask, as average i and her son wears where russia is losing ground. what that russia doesn't entirely master on the ground counter offensive. the ukrainian counter offensive is still ongoing, and the troops have gotten a hold of her of the river. oscar. this is what the governor ukrainian governor of the region of lou hands are confirmed. so are russia is embattled or on the field?

perhaps this is a reason why they want to hold those referendums as quickly as possible because if or from their point of view or dose or regions can be there. annie says here, dan, dad, that means our darts are, they have reason to escalate and to send further or weapon. so further, mrs. over ukraine, if it considers at its territory, is being attacked in, well us for us, we're getting a narrator ladder. we're gonna have to take shelter, you keep safe and ukranian forces have liberated over a 120 settlements in the hockey region. the population breathing from months of rush, an occupation emotion went to the town of fowler, clear. a warning. some view was may find this royal court distressing. the ukrainian blue and yellow flag floats again on the statue of much loved poet and nationalist terrace. have sankoh on the likely as men square. it has only been

a few days since tom was liberated from russian occupation. locals are still trying to come to terms with what they've been to we meet our tim lushin cove who wants to show us where he was in prison for 4 to 6 days over the summer. he was arrested because his brother is a soldier in the ukraine. an armed forces come hope that this is my line 46 days. each stroke represents one day just so you don't get lost in time. here are 10. had to share the small windowless space. we several other people are what can i say? normally 7 of us lived here. i think one here sometimes choo here to here and 3 here. they usually slept at each other's feet. water was under the sink. summaries as well. the 1st day was the hardest in the things i was blindfolded, they could have been taking me to lew hunched me somewhere there were hysterical humphrey mother,

ukraine. authorities say dozens of civilians were arrested and tortured by russian troops during the occupation of one of them. because there was no official interrogation, i came in. 2 people were sitting there, one with a mask, one without laughter. they were more interested in knowing which stayed in by the clia than those which shirt before. 5 were officers who were attach. nick, who fought in the war. i said, i didn't know and they started to electrocute me. is a switchboard with an electric current, the more you move, the stronger the impact. somehow i was lucky. i was there for for half an hour. people used to scream for one and a half to 2 hours. unbelievable. the leakage, i looked up all thought of la doing the interrogations. prisoners had to record themselves reading a piece of paper, pledging their support for russia, flocking ukrainian police officers were powerless, wants the russians, took over. some fled or went into hiding some collaborated, others joined the resistance. this officer agreed to talk to us,

but asked not to be named. i distola such knowledge, many people were arrested for being pro ukraine and for cooperating with us and passing on information for my son were held and we still don't know their whereabouts. and some were sent away a week later. i don't know what it depended on me. i know friends of mine who were also beaten was a reseller. they broke ribs hands and everything else on my aid, all but out all key, easiest. and i, as we let the police station we learned that a russian sold year was being detained there. the ukrainian forces transferred him later that day to an unknown destination that refused to comment on the likeliest man square. the blue and yellow flag brings locals together. but he will take weeks, months, or even years until older stories of their time and her occupation are revealed. yes, mother stories making head lice. anteria is battling its worst floods in

a decade of the torrential rains. officials say more than 300 people have died in a flood since july of 100000 have been displaced. water from a dam, oakland in cameroon, last week and persistent heavy rainfall is expected to flood nearly half of nigerians days. more than 230 pilot whales have been stranded on the coast of tasmania. australian authority said appears of the half of the whales is still alive. rescue efforts are underway by crews of marine biologists and local volunteers. germany has joined other nations of the un general assembly and criticizing russia over its war in ukraine. chance old of sholpes accused the permanent security council member of bringing imperialism back to europe. he said, the world cannot accept a global order dictated by moscow through military force. he pledged germany's continued support to keep in the form of weapons. they. one of the assembly was also marked by a grim assessment of the state of the world. by the un secretary,

general brave commander, a world conference dominated by a growing list of global crises. the 77th session of the un general assembly was the 1st in person gathering of world leaders since the beginning of the coven 19 pandemic. but it was far from a celebration in his opening address, the un secretary general was blunt in his assessment of the global situation cost of living christ. let's have no illusions. we are in rough seas a week that of global discontent is on the horizon. a cost of living cries is his raging thrust. the scum bling inequalities are exploding, and our planet is bunny. people are hurting, with the most vulnerable suffering the most. but amidst the host of crises discussed on the 1st day of the assembly, russia's war in ukraine quickly took center stage. japanese prime minister fumey

okesha condemned the invasion as a direct threat to the international order. gressick elizabeth, we must face the fact that the credibility of the united nations is at stake due to the aggression against ukraine by russia. he need a permanent member of the security council. look, she should not givea 90 percent. while others focus their accusations directly at the russian president lacy democrat, german chancellor old f sholtes lashed out at what he called putin's imperialist ambitions and vows to continue supporting ukraine most often. so he isn't just destroying ukraine, he's also ruining his own country. this law, this is why we will not accept a piece dictated by russia, and this is why we will not accept any sham referendums highly. and this is why ukraine must be able to defend itself against russia's invasion once before up via them come. but despite the widespread condemnation,

it remains unclear just how the u. n. will be able to respond. and as delegates prepare for more speeches in new york, all will be keeping an eye on the conflict raging half a world away. the german government has agreed to buy out almost all shares of the private gas utility univer effectively nationalizing the company. the government announced the measure earlier this morning. the move was anticipated after the company was in danger of going bankrupt over the current gas crisis. russia had stopped nearly all natural gas flows to germany in response to sanctions over the war in ukraine. stick bits. lee with our business team joins me for more. steven, why does building believe a complete takeover of this company is necessary in the german government had always said that uniform was essentially too big to fail. it was the largest gas utility in terms of importing rush and gas. want those supplies really stopped all

but stopped flowing in june. that meant that they had a problem because they have contracts with downstream customers to provide the same amount of gas. and if they weren't getting it from russia, they had to go on the spot market where as you know, prices just went through the roof. so the question was, who was going to put that bill? the government was giving them more and more money, but it was too much ultimately, you know, the government had promised take a 30 percent stake in the company before and it had offer them 900000000000 euros and credit lines. but ultimately it wasn't, it wasn't enough, juniper had almost birth through all of that already. and we know that it's majority owner. right now it's a finish date own energy company has said that it wasn't going to provide that cash boost. so in the end it was germany, it's essentially a state bailout of the energy sector, isn't it? and, and it's not over those, right? i mean, it's a, it's a special measure given special times, you know, the circumstances right now because of the war have made things very difficult for energy companies. a unit is not the only gas company that has been getting state

support. and there could be 2 others right now that we know of that might also be targets for nationalization. we've also seen more european governments waiting into energy regulations, looking at measures to make things easier for consumers. you know, states often come into the rescue of private companies when they're considered system critical. we've seen this with the banking industry. we've seen it with the aviation industry during the times of covert. however, they can usually get back out of those companies in a certain amount of time because they can return to profitability. the german government actually sold us remaining shares and tanza not too long ago, they made a quarter of a 1000000000 euros. here the case isn't so clear when these companies would be viable again. well, that they've been a lot of argument over this because so many companies will make so much money out of this gas crisis and oil crisis and energy crisis and others of course filtering . what will it mean for households and consumers? yet ultimately, there's been this big debate about who is going to put that bill for those who haven't been making money. and it either falls on the government,

it falls in the end user or it falls in a taxpayer. and germany is really been trying to find the right mix. so what i did had recently was to put a gas a surcharge on gas a few cents per kilowatt hour for gas consumers. many have said that that's unfair, however, and now they're going to be more questions about that if companies are going to be nationalized, because ultimately those are taxpayer on companies now. so what you can imagine is that you may see sort of a price ceiling put on gas or put on energy, and that means that that would distribute the cost to taxpayers as a whole instead of just to energy gas users. and so i think that debate is going to keep going in the next few weeks and you'll keep us up to date. i doubt steven beardsley from dw business. thank you. or if he is of an escalation of the conflict between 3 warring parties in northern ethiopia, the break way take right people's liberation front says federal government forces of launched a full scale offensive. they say troops from neighboring eritrea have crossed the border into t gray. in early november 2020, a conflict broke out between the liberation front of the european government,

rapidly escalating into the war and destabilizing the region, the se, again, government has enforced a near complete blockade of the tick by region. and the u. n says it's 5000000 inhabitants now face a humanitarian crisis. time runs differently here. the ethiopian new year began this month and it's usually caused a celebration. but since war returned, there's been little reason for joy. market sellers say trade is down. as you can see now everything is expensive. if there was place, it wouldn't be like lisa. and again though my, the don't people have less income which and they can no longer afford this. therefore, the current situation is very difficult. yeah. i think of peace comes to the country when prices will go down or go to guns aluminum. this new year did bring a statement from the t grey people's liberation front. the t p. f said they would

participate in an immediate cessation of hostilities leading to a permanent ceasefire mediated through the african union. but just days later, drone strikes hit the to grind capital mikella dealing another blow to any hopes for peace. hospital staff say at least 10 people died on that morning alone. the attacks hit a university, a tv station, and this residential neighborhood. inside what's left to this home, the family dog lies dead. the t p a left blames the government of prime minister abi opp, med accusing it of quote, to find any possibility for peaceful solution. the ethiopian government has likewise accused to grand forces of closing all options for peace fighting and t. great resumed in august between government forces and t. p l. f. fighters, who want independence. the region is suffering from food shortage is made worse by russia's war on ukraine. in june,

87 percent of people surveyed and to grow food insecure more than half of them severely. so troops from neighboring eritrea have also added to the conflict previously fighting alongside the therapy and government against the tig ryans. all sides have been accused of committing abuses in a war which has left tens of thousands dead and millions without basic services or piece. under now, from the if the opium capital addis ababa by freelance journalist collector one joy collector. we heard there about the grind forces, accusing ethiopia of launching a full scale offensive with the support of era trained troops. what's the ethiopian government saying mission of the previous session? was a fight where we saw the government would come to such communication. it has been

really been quiet about it. however, we see that is the definition from the government forces to ensure that it kind of really totally sure this victory on the other side of accused the d. p level. not wanting to go to the table of p stocks. and i see that said that you have continues to walk on forces and, and continue to look at a solution. so what we have is continued fighting and that's what we're seeing. so it is by the government, not really, i mean pronouncing, so for money with something fighting continue on the other side. meaning that the government is attacking or also defending itself. ok, the you with envoy to the region mike hammer says the u. s. has been tracking true movements across the border into tick, right. doesn't that lead weight to the close by to ground forces? well, yes it does. and then that means because we weren't even there asian gum and saying that he's ready to defend itself with his new blushes to defend itself. and probably that's why he just puts a muscle. yes, i mean just to be able to stand by what in court and with the united states, official envoy, are talking about it. and then that means that's really happening. and the u. s.

and other international community members have been very vocal. and by for asking or by asking entry not to get into this war again, happening in the previous year or so. and now with troops being ready, the international community is a bit concerned that the edge of my crossover, and really it's as a bait the constitution because i don't think that it is a 3rd party or another country coming into the tunnel coffee. it really complemented kicked the whole issue of moving to one piece resolution and the government's blockading. take roy the un says is a risk of a regional famine, a people there in the capital, generally aware of what's going on. i think it more away. and because to, for the, are funding that very much, we really have a spillover effect of the war. there might be 700 kilometers away. but right here that is inflation when i cost of living. and that is because you didn't buy the fact that the re, i mean the government is also putting a lot of money in terms of defense. it does have security data finding itself on

the other side. and also because some of the areas that are affected by the region, the northern region as a whole basket, you know, so there's not much food coming in as could before. and that's impacting the pockets of people here in the city. on the other side, we know people are hoping that probably both the government and the t p left will agree talk is for resolution because close to 2 years. now there is a not only here but also within the to dr region and the northern region. colorado on joey for us in ethiopia. thank you for your analysis of the situation there. thank you for sharing some sports news. polish football superstar rob 11 dorski has been given ukraine captains arm band and he's promised to take it with him to the football. woke up in cut, the buffalo striker was given the yellow and blue arm banded also by form ukraine international andre ship jango. no sky has been a vocal supporter of ukraine's raspberry invaded in february for me. had to remind her of the top story. we're following for russian president vladimir putin says he
