ah ah ah, this is the w news live from bo, then russia calls up reservists to fight in ukraine. as an vladimir putin announces the partial mobilization in a national address is comes as moscow plans to hold so called referendums in occupied parts of ukraine and urgent push to claim the territories for russia.

ukrainian civilian locked up for 46 days by russian troops corresponded, makes residents so one ukrainian town liberated from russia occupation just days ago and fresh warnings about the state of the world's glazes. scientists say, ice sheets and melting faster than previously thought. and that will cause a major rise in sea levels. ah, i've been for solon, nice to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin says he has signed a decree, ordering the partial military mobilization of russia's armed forces beginning today . in an address to the nation, said reservists will be drafted into the army to fight in ukraine when he said the aim is to liberate the dumbass region. the announcement comes a day off to separate us leaders in russian control once don, yet parisha and hassan said they will hold so called referendums on joining russia

. and this could follow up around 15 percent of ukrainian territory. odin alleges the west doesn't want peace if you cry, the heathen as 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, the mobility akila sec. i'm also as a security and russian expert at king's college london, she says pollutants decision is a reaction to brushes. full bring military campaign in ukraine. ah, well, it clearly shows that routine. i was very concerned about the law says in hard peeve in the car hockey region. he's probably was under a lot of pressure to do something about that. and because the russian, i'm very experiencing problems with manpower base became the on so the on for

serious and the military had been asking for, for, for mobilization, for quite some time. this is considered sort of partially mobilization by the code . actually eventually lead to more sort of substantial for mobilization. and so this will probably result in $99.00, a 9 potential escalation on the prolongation of the war. there will be a lot of pressure to provide additional weaponry to ukraine to consolidate the winds on the ground. and ukraine, as i slowly continuing to advance in areas are on the card of keeping the hair to some region as well. so you grandsons have made a significant progress on the sort of plays in their favor. but of course, the influx of new forces can, you know, can present challenges for the ukrainian armed 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, hey, 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. he's interesting to note that the 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 at 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 on sunday day games. i think that this is a, it's going to depend very much and how they se mobilization actually is kind of a dot out of how effective 8 days on how much a boarding house in general, in russia. we know that there is a position or to these kind of mobilization in russia. how, how is it being received? because there are signs of the many russians want to get out of the country before they can scripted. yes, of course already since yesterday we, we know that we were 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 demonstrations today, especially the groups are, you know, the individuals around about needs organization as well as others. so, you know, 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 that was support for the separation. but as long as it 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 that, you know, the position on the support for this conflict might start to road over to this. i've also from king's college on to thank you and your, any of forces have liberated over a 120 settled woodson, the huff kiff region. as part of this sweeping counter offensive people across that

area. a reeling for months of rush, an occupation to come. you corresponded, manuel shots went to the town of fun, clear recently retaken by ukraine. awarding some view as may find this report 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 the town was liberated from russian occupation. locals are still trying to come to terms with what they've been to. we meet r t m lashing 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 out of this is my line. $46.00 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. some withers all the 1st day, was the hardest for them. i was blindfolded. they could have been taking me to lou, hunched somewhere there were hysterical hanser mother of ukraine in authority, say dozens of civilians were arrested and tortured by russian troops during the occupation on olympic. or that 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 in those wood shirt before friday 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 on. somehow i was lucky. i was there for for half an hour. people used to scream for one and a half to 2 hours, and the lawyer did papa luke,

which i love just a ballpark. we're doing the interrogations. prisoners had to record themselves reading a piece of paper, pledging their support for russia. local ukrainian police officers were powerless, wants the russians, took over, some fled or went into hiding some collaborated, others joined the resistance. dis 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 do it. i know friends of mine who were also beaten was a reseller. they broke ribs, hans, and everything else. who am i aide all but out all key, easiest. and i, as we left the police station, we learned that a russian soldier was being detained there. the ukraine in forces transferred him

later that day to an unknown destination that refused to comment. on the likeliest man square to 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 were germany's vice chancellor holbert har. beck says he's strongly condemns puritans. military mobilization, hobbit says, the movies and escalation of the conflict and the germany continues to stand behind you. this also under total of the fact that russia has ordered a partial mobilization and is engaging in a further escalation of this war of aggression on ukraine, which violates international law is wrong and false step transcript. we will of course, the says politically and debate on how to respond. in any case, it is clear to me and to the german government that we will continue to fully support ukraine artistry in this difficult time. some dessert showing, sorry, tribe are full of furniture. donaldson breton. i spoke to german lawmaker johan by

the pool. he's a member of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee, representing the opposition christian democrats. i asked him whether his party backed the government's debts. yes, of course sir, that sir, sir, in the driven masako brought support for that political line of our government. we are supporting ukraine already. we of course, have to do more, especially after that. so decision taken by vladimir putin. this is so show a sign of weakness, but also asked mr. big, sad, assign of escalation are in trying to declare a part of ukraine. s. s russian ground of cross. i'm the he, he tries to escalate the situation and to claim for russia, the right to self defense these territories. but he's wrong. he is the aggressor. he is the imperialist, and we,

the free world have to beck ukraine or as much as we can, that's becoming clearer and clearer, man, you say more is needed. but what does that mean as far as weapons go? because the chancellor, so if i resist the calls from ukraine for battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. yes. that that's what we are criticizing or in words, the chancellor is begging ukraine fully and that that's what we of course are also back. but indeed, there's a lot to do for the german government. we do have battle tanks. we do have these armored vehicles here in our industry. it wouldn't weaken outlanders via our army if we allow the industry to deliver these battle tanks and vehicles to ukraine. it would help, of course the ukranian army to do their job. everybody knows they, they also lost a lot of soldiers and tanks. and if her russia now

a comes, was, was more troops to the france, we do have to do more when, if not now or short the, the chancellor rethink his decision am and when, if not now, germany should be ready to deliver these things to ukraine. i think it's of time to do so that was about to pull those, germany's opposition christian democrats. but we'll be, there's a gathering for day 2 of the united nations general assembly in new york. moscow's announcement will dominate the talks. the war and ukraine is overshadowing the 1st in person meeting since the pandemic. the un secretary general antonio terrace, told the assembly yesterday the world faces a winter of discontent. speakers include you as president joe biden. he'll be speaking in the next hour or 2 and will bring you that life. first of all though, let's talk to bridge walker the w steve international editor. tell me more about

russia's announcement than this partial mobilization. how that will change dialogue with yeah, well then of course that happened this morning. european time, of course, on the east coast, united states in new york. they've been waking up to this news in the last few hours. and i think all i will very much be on the speech of joe biden, that will be, will be covering in probably just about an hour and a half from now. i mean, we've seen so far already the western leaders really seeing this un general assembly as an opportunity to try to rally more support, particularly among developing countries among the global south for deposition in condemning russia. we saw that, for instance, all actual german chancellor, speaking towards the end of yesterday session talking about like me, putin pursuing imperialism. this is the project that he's embark upon. and i think you're very much see joe biden picking up on that, you know, trying to get that message across to countries that may be somewhat skeptical of

what they see is sort of western preaching about, about russia's war thinking. well, you know, the west impact on plenty of was tricky, the nice it states of the last couple of decades. and he will really be trying to get across that. you know, there's now more evidence than ever the patient is embarked on a project, expansionism, and of reckless nuclear threads that we've been talking about so far in the show, of course. and i think also too, for this to be happening during the un, generally assembly when the world is supposed to come together to try to tackle the world's problems, to have russia escalating this war at this time. i think biking will be pointing out to somebody this particularly crass but pointing it out to her exactly. because what can you when effectively do, how can i respond especially considering the dynamic with with roster in both is a permanent member of the secure. yeah. so this is indeed the case of russia as a permanent member of the un security council can block pretty much any kind of

meaningful action on the u. n level, which is what makes this will particularly difficult for the when to deal with. there is due to be a un security council meeting taking place tomorrow. there is word from the american side that they expect the russians to sit that one out completely will see sergey lover of the russian foreign minister and will be in new york. so be interesting to see if he takes part in that session which will be open, it will be open to the cameras. so, and the western supporters we train will very much want to use that meeting further to try to show the isolation of russia also with ukraine's un ambassador taking part. there is also some talk of potentially a vote in the un general assembly also in the next in the time coming ahead of potentially on this issue of this attempted annexation of these territories. so we'll have to see what can come up. but because of russia being in the security

council having that veto power, it does mean that it can still really meaningful action. but the un united nation as a showcase for kind of diplomatic isolation has been important in this conflict so far as richard walker chief international. it is to thank you very much for coming in. now a quick look at some other headlines from around the world. police in germany rated properties belonging to a russian oligarch and others, this suspected of tax evasion and breaking a u sanctions. media named the oligarch as the shows man of a close ally of president putin and one of russia's richest ty koonce. germany has reached the deal to nationalize its largest gas in border univer. the government will invest 8000000000 euros in the company that has been hit by soar and gas prices and canton supplies from russia. nigeria is battling its was floods in a decade of the torrential rains. officials say more than 300 people have died in

a flood since july of a 100000 have been displaced. water from a dam opened in cavalry last weekend. persistent, heavy rainfall is expected to flood nearly half of nigerian states. more than 230 pilot boils have been stranded of the coast. of tasmania. australian authority said appears over the half of the whales is still alive. rescue efforts are underway by cruise of marine biologists and local volunteers. in belgium, a court is said to decide on a prisoner exchange treaty with iran. the deal has been fiercely criticized by lawmakers. they say the treaty would allow and a rainy and diplomat jailed on terrorism charges to return home. but the government argues it's the only way to free a belgian aid worker being held in iran. they don't use brussels, corresponded melina shed house reports, eileen years, and stage t him often placed this piece of jazz. it reminds him of his friend, who's

a music lover like himself, but his friend, olivia under castilla, has not heard any music in over half a year. he was imprisoned in iran in february on spying judges, but he is in full isolation in his cell, in the basement, with the lights constantly on. ah, yes, so poor food he has an infection or his lucy sir niels, offer the faith oliver. obviously, his no title or to call situation good, is extremely dramatic. i would say funder castilla a belgium aid worker had lived and worked in iran since 2015 after he was jailed. his family released a video protesting his innocence if he left the city since the end of his studies, his lived far away to help others not help us now to get him out of there to bring him home. so we can hold him in our arms, saw a move by the belgian parliament in july, gave the family hope when an approved

a prisoner exchange treaty with iran. but the deal is controversial. the man to be swapped with under castilla is a convicted terrorists. are sadala saudi. the plan has met with a position from san parliamentarians like belgian iranian dead, s f i. from the flemish nationalists. when we accept that, we reward that we, it, we ward the policy of, you can do whatever you want. you can plan a terrorist attack here on our, our m european countries. and you can just take our citizen, innocent citizen in half 3rd, the law is now held up in appeal. our belgium court will have to decide if the country can proceed with these prisoners swaps. vander castillo, is not the only western are being held in iran on similar charges. swedish iranian academic, i'm either asia, charlie,

and french tourist mars. i'm up here are to known cases. some analysts say talks on the iraq nuclear deal could provide an opportunity for the west to demand an end to iran's hostage diplomacy. but those talks are stored and countries like belgium seem impatient. they don't want to wait and make their citizens in teheran wait until something on a larger international scale takes place or leave year funds that he does not want to wait either. he says he understands the dilemma of using balance as bargaining chips. but that this deal is the best have to get his french home soon. ah, the climate crisis is one of the focal points at today's you. when talks in new york, many nations are especially worried about rising sea levels. the wild oceans depend

on antarctica, which holds 90 percent of the planets ice, and now scientists warning the ice is melting much faster than thought. this is the weights one of the world's largest glaciers. it's located in western antarctica and covers 192 square kilometers. that's an area roughly the size of senegal, like most glaciers around the world. the weight is melting in international team of researches has now mapped the retreat of the ice giant over the centuries. the results are worrying to say the least. the glaciers falling apart much faster than originally thought. so sweet leisure itself could contribute around 60 centimeters globally to sea level rise. the problem is in fact that weights has such a central position in the west. and i think i see that it's retreats and eventually

collapse. could cause a whole west. and i think she to collapse and that would mean more than 3 meters of sea level rise. this way it's glaciers, part of marine ice sheet. unlike some other glaciers that rest on dry land weights is grounded in the sea bed. one part called the ice shelf floats on the water and that's the problem. as a result of our greenhouse gas emissions, the water is getting warm up. as it heats up, it melts the glacier from below. scientist said that we have likely reached a critical point where large parts of the ice shelf might simply collapse. so the ice shells half of so called but drifting force. that means there, floating on the sea, but on the sides and sometimes also in front. they are in contact with small

islands or little hills on the site, and this gives some restriction, some property to break the flow of the ice. so if the ice self disappears, then this, but we're seeing effect will become smaller. and suites laser will most likely increase its flow velocity and weights isn't the only lation melting. scientists estimate that by 2100 sea levels may arise by a round a meter or even more. for the millions of people around the world who live in coastal areas, that's really bad news. rising sea levels mean that they will be hit by more frequent and more extreme floods. so it's vital to take immediate action scientist say. and the only way to do that is by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions as drastically and quickly as possible. the countdown is on to november's woke up in
