[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. joe biden condemns roches escalation of the war. and you crank, brutal, needless more war chosen by one man to be very blunt. u. s. president singles out loud in a protein accusing the russian leader of making irresponsible threats to use nuclear weapons. brush calls up extra reservation to fight in ukraine. put in,

mobilizes $300000.00 more troops and says russia will use any weapons necessary to protect itself. and the world cup without discrimination, that's the promise from cuts off the countries ruler tales, the united nations. all fans will be welcome, despite concerns from human rights. ah, i'm glad others welcome to the program. you, as president joe biden has delivered a hard hitting condemnation of russia's escalation of the war and ukraine at the united nations in new york biden aimed his criticism squarely at vladimir putin. he accused the russian leader of making irresponsible threats, saying nuclear was, cannot be won. and he said rushes shamelessly violated the un charter by attacking

ukraine. let us speak plainly. a permanent member of the united nations security council invaded its neighbour, 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. but with me in the studio now instead of his chief international editor, richard walker, richard. yes, a clear words there from the u. s. president, we listen to both listen to him, but not as strong as many me included expected yet. well, i think the tone that biden hit in the speech, and i would imagine this was really quite deliberate, which was a kind of steady, a tone that he seemed to be trying to get across. obviously this day is coming.

going back to this morning here in europe with this announcement by vladimir putin, very much seen as potentially a kind of game changer in this conflict. entering a new phase with escalation on the russian side. mobilization of more russian forces. vladimir putin making nuclear threats. joe biden, addressing these very directly, but in a steady way, not seeming to want to escalate the rhetoric any further and to kind of heat up the situation any more than it needed to be. but also very firm in that, i mean that one interpretation or a clear interpretation of what putin has been doing with these moves, is to try to deter west from it's supportive ukraine trying to kind of scare the west, essentially with threats of nuclear weapons from, from supporting ukraine is strongly that has been no sign that budget bike wants to be dragged down that route. and in fact,

underscoring the degree of support that the united states is provided. ukraine even offering up the number of $25000000000.00 in support including military a day. so i think steady but firm seems to be the time he was trying to hit. i'm not adding adding fuel to the fire by him. also said the very un charter is under attack when he was addressed to the general assembly, there was the highest body of the united nations by russia. and then he also supports the expansion of the un security council. why is that relevant now? yeah, that's interesting. and this is actually a position that the u. s. has, has going back quite a few years now that it wants to see. the security council expanded. the security council seen by many of course as a relic of the post 2nd world war era going back decade doesn't include countries like india, which now obviously hugely important place on the world stage. i think the fact

that by is latching onto this at this point. so it underscores the fact that they see this is a potential opportunity for a given russia's involvement in this war. that is, that a permanent member of the security council which will to veto which is able to block pretty much anything of consequence that he wants to in the u. s. system is waging a war like this. this adds weight to the case for security council reform, whether it actually gets anywhere is a different question, because it's not that china is pretty much adamantly opposed. now, the cranium president, problem is lensky is also about to address the un assembly this this afternoon, remotely understand what's at stake. that's right. so this is an important opportunity for zalinski to address the international community, of course. and i think one of the significant things about this address is that it is simply happening a tool that it's uncommon for a video address to be permitted. of course, it was the last couple of years because of kobe, the general assembly was held remotely. but otherwise, it's uncommon, so there was

a vote in un general assembly on whether to permit this in this case. and a clear majority, $101.00 members of the un general assembly voted for that. including interestingly, countries that have been quite on the fence on the conflict so far, for instance, india. so it's, it's, it's a coup for lensky to be able to make this address at all, particularly with that kind of support. and we know we've seen during the course of this year, what a talented communicator he is. so being very, very interesting, especially given what happened today to see what kind of a tone he strikes and whether he manages to change any minds were to walk on our chief international editor. thank you. richard and earlier vladimir putin had announced to russia was calling up an extra 300000 reservists to fight in ukraine. he says mobilization is aimed at liberating the eastern dong bus region where ukrainian force is anal staging

a counter offensive. western leaders say the call up is in response to russian losses on the battlefield. on the streets of ukraine's capital gave the announcement from moscow is being met with a mixture of derision and disdain. let there go. oh, you know, this is agony caused by impotent patient doesn't know what to do. so now he tries to make people, he, his words. that's my opinion. gibbon was over here with the i think we have to trust our armed forces and no one else. the rose, her threats will always come from russia will get when they will reduce the lock. so there's no point in listening to them or negotiate in them. awesome. so luckily he's are all empty words. you claim a lot december 3rd, let me put in is calling the move necessary. an urgent saying the west crossed a line by providing sophisticated weapons to ukraine. he insisted they are aimed at

weakening, dividing, and eventually destroying russia. her to novel, i'd like to remind you that our country also has various weapons of destruction and in certain aspects, even more modern weapons, the nato countries. if there's a threat to the territorial integrity of our country in order to protect russia and our people, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal. this is not a bluff nationalist, but his his if the new balloon wouldn't stop short of declaring a full national draft reactions and moscow varied among the young and the old faithful. my pride says yes, go to war. but common sense tells me that i can die there with me for i have family relatives and friends of them, i'm in doubt. and i can't say for sure. subordinate borderline amongst visitor. what is going to be weird cuz i think the president has taken the decision taking into account the situation. he believes it's necessary. and we're in

a situation where we can't comment on what he has said. the president said eskimiya and that's it. those poems guzzle. business both of us though, it also led to swift condemnation by the international community. i'm shima, this is another terrible and wrong stuff by russia indian, which we will of course us us politically brought in and discuss on how to respond to it. been froze in any case for me and the german government, and it's clear that we will continue to fully support ukraine during this difficult time. meanwhile, moscow, back separatist and eastern ukraine announced plans to hold referendums to joined russia, even as ukrainian forces retake huge suites of territory in the countries northeast . at m, i all star russia fs analysts constitute exit from vilios why president putin is mobilizing his troops. now, what things are several reasons. first and foremost, all it is away,

all psychologically bra ashad ukraine and the west to show that he's intransigent and he's going to continue fighting. and the 2nd thing is very clear. the, the, the russian forces were forces were repeated repeatedly wiped out in ukraine. he just needs reinforcements. the quality of the reason these reinforcements, i'm sorry, ah, basically i am sure leaves a lot to be desired, but he has no other choice. and frankly, speaking a low, it's called partial mobilization. in the decree that puts in signed, there is one point which is close that says force for service. um, usually, which is the russian bureaucratic. you have saying this is the most important thing in this whole document. and it deals extensively with numbers. so the figure of $300000.00 i think it's just, it's just basically a camouflage. in fact, we're dealing with a creeping full mobilization. it's another matter that in my view it will not be

successful. and the only thing to debate is now the scale of failure. now, we are hearing reports that many people are now heading for the borders and the airports trying to leave russia. what are you hearing about that? exactly the same russian social media is all flooded with reports of people are buying up ah tickets to destinations where russians don't need a visa. in a matter of a couple of hours after putin's put his degree nonsense. and that this tells you quite a lot about, ah, what people really think about, ah, over there this fight, this war also put in change narrative before that it was denot certification, quote unquote of ukraine and some kind of special military operation. now he's talking mobilization mobilization, it's only a 3rd mobilization russian history. the festival ization happened in 1914 and in

1941 during 2 world wars. so put to the sally, say, why fighting the west in ukraine in russia? i don't think there's a lot of desire to find the west. so what's going to happen that anthony is a reserve officer. lots of people are going now to head to the border. lots of others who can not. we'll try to buy fake mickle certificates from grub doctors to say that they're, that they're sick or, or they will bride just bribe, the military call up the military commissar out officials to get a reprieve from the draft. so it's going to be quite, i would say quite a big and tragic circus that are constantly brief. if you can, is this likely to affect russian soldiers morale on the battlefield? i think her read reinforcements will not be of better quality. that is the only thing that we need to now, there are probably going to be more soldiers, but they're not going to be better trained. they're not going to be better job so

far. and that's important. think better motivated russian army is not well motivated. and this is, it's biggest drawback. what did on his russia affairs analyst constant in aga, they're speaking to us from vilios. thank you. constantine, ukrainian forces have liberated more than $120.00 settlements in the hockey region as part of their counter offensive residents that are still reeling from months of russian occupation. who w correspondence in manuel shots went to the town of by law clear, recently retaken by ukraine and a warning. some views may find this following report distressing. the ukrainian blue and yellow flag floats again on the statue of much loved poet and nationalist terrace. f. 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. i'm hoping 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 2 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. where is there? if we're humphrey, mother of ukraine, in authority, say, dozens of civilians were arrested and tortured by russian troops during the occupation. on november corner there was no official interrogation. i came in, 2 people were sitting there, one with a mask,

one without master. they were more interested in knowing which state and well a clia than those would shirt before 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, or for half an hour. people used to scream for one and a half to 2 hours, and the lawyer did papa leakage. i looked up all proper. 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. 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. i know friends of mine who were also beaten was a reseller. they broke ribs hands and everything else were made over out all key, easiest. and i, as we left the police station, we learned that a russian soldier was being detained there. the ukrainian forces transferred him later that day to an unknown destination. the tricks used 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 all the stories of their time and her occupation are revealed. turner to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world to danes at. new york stop prosecutors suing former us president donald trump for alleged business for all day it. sir james says,

trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to enrich himself and secure favorable loans or office is seeking $250000000.00 in penalties protests or intensify across iran. after a 22 year old woman died while being held by the morality police, she was accused of violating the islamic dress code rights group say at least 7 people have been killed and clashes with security forces. a court in belgium is to decide on a prisoner's changed treaty with iran. lawmakers have fiercely criticized the deal . they say the treaty would allow an iranian 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. t w's brussels correspondence. marina schloss reports. oh, lean yes. on stage

t m often plays this piece of jazz. it reminds him of his friend who's a music lover like himself, but his friend olivia under castillo, has not heard any music, and over half a year, he was imprisoned in iran in february on spying judges. but he is in full isolation in the cell. in the basement, we for the lights constantly on. ah, he has so poor food, he has an infection or he's losing his meals or offer or the faith. ology, obviously his know tyco logical situation. good is extremely dramatic. i would say fandor castilla, a belgium aide worker, had lived and worked in iran since 2015. after he was jailed, his family released a video, protesting his innocence pillar, fail assisiting since the end of his studies. he's lived far away to help our this not help us now to get him out of there to bring him home. so we can hold him in

our arms, saw and moved by the belgian parliament in july, gave the family hope. when an approved a prisoner exchanged treaty with iran, but the deal is controversial. the man to be swapped with thunder castilla is a convicted terrorist assa dollar sadie. the plan has met with a position from san parliamentarians like belgian iranian douglas or fi from the flemish nationalists. when we accept that, we reward that we ward the policy of you can do whatever you want. you can plan a terrorist attack here on our, our am 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 this prisoner swaps. vander castilla is not the only western are being held in iran on similar charges. swedish, iranian academic,

ama dasia, charlie and french tourist mars. i'm up here are 2 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, sim, impatient. they don't want to wait and make their citizen 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 fusing belgians as bargaining chips. but that this deal is the best have to get his french home soon. ah, to nigeria now which is battling its worst floods and a decade following weeks of torrential rains. officials say more than 300 people

have been killed. more than 100000. others have been displaced, a dam burst in cameroon, and persistent heavy rainfall is expected to flood nearly half of nigeria. for the last time that we saw a flood in there was this big was in 2012. and this, this particular flood that we are experiencing now, officials are seen is very similar to that in terms of the scale of destruction in terms of the number of people there have also a date from this. now it's very common to have floating around this time of the year every year, but it's usually not this bad that we have. so many communities has been displaced before dying and losing their homes at this, at this level. so what triggered then or this years very severe floods. well, experts are pointing to climate change. we are seeing

a significantly higher amount of rainfall. and of course that is leading to an overflowing of rivers. and so river and communities are the ones that are mostly affected because the river banks are overflowing and also the ad downs are huge, dams thou also overflowing. and nigeria also has a problem of infrastructure. so there is no proper drainage system to really accommodate this amount of rainfall. so that is exactly what is causing the flooding. now, half a 1000000 people are said to be affected. what's being done to help them well, long before the flooding, even started agencies though in charge of you know, predicting weather conditions are things like that. have been wanting the government to actually take precaution so that people don't die because there isn't

really much they can do in terms of preventing the level of damage can be done to houses our schools and all of that. and so, according to the agency in charge of emergency management, lots of communities were already evacuated, but many people have strong ties to the communities. you know, there's a memo officials, national emergency magic management agency officials, told me that some of them you go there to tell them about the commune. flawed and that they should evacuate. and they tell you, listen, my grandfather died here. my father died here. this is very our ground, i can leave this place and unfortunately the end of dying because they just refused to leave. and of course the government is also sending them lots of relief materials. thank you very much. large. now the count on is ons, november's, world cup and katara and criticism over the host nations. human rights record
