10:04 am
been liberated, this really comes as incredible news from the ukranian side. the 5 top commanders of as of a have been liberated under condition that they do not return on ukrainian territory . they are, they are in turkey. well, where they would be able to connect with their families. that was the deal that was as track and among a d prisoners exchange on the russian side was a ukrainian, former low maker, accused of high treason vito, a mentor choke with her. vladimir putin closest ally emmanuel, was ukraine's negotiating stance, bolstered her all by their recent gains on the battlefield. while there's definitely a change of attitude when it comes to negotiations and negotiating ad that aberration of prisoners afore. because i remember when a victim made virtual cause made prisoner months ago. and here in ukraine,
10:05 am
evanardo me zaleski, had immediately suggested prisoners exchange de kremlin, had completely ruled that's out at the time. and now that ukraine is making significant gains here on the ground during its counter offensive, it seems that tables have turned a little bit and that definitely ukraine has the upper hand. thank you and manual dw correspondence manual. shes in hockey as well as the prisoner swap was being conducted. russian police arrested more than 1300 people protesting the mobilization of 300000 reservists to fight in ukraine. president putin says they're to bolster forces. their western leaders say it is a response to russian losses on the battlefield in a conflict that's been raging much longer than expected. yes, vladimir prudence leaders decree is not going unchallenged in russia. but the states crackdown is hard. nonetheless. the protest monitoring
10:06 am
group says mass arrests have been made across the country including in moscow. yes. well, i'm not afraid. i'm not afraid of anything. the most valuable thing that they can take from us is the life of our children. i won't give them my child life. you wouldn't have called the mobilization necessarily an urgent. he accused the west of crossing a line by providing sophisticated weapons for you, grin 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 national citizen disease. the announcement has also triggered and about an exodus of people unwilling to joined the conflict. many of these russians arriving
10:07 am
in serbia are still fearful of speaking in opposition to the war. i as me please you and i have a director because of my vermont and hope all is a seed and i do have problem in my contact. uh but, but i want to say i read on for you gray. i. i want to please somebody still pushing the prices. one way flights from russia has been skyrocketing since bought in speech and they're still selling out fast. earlier i spoke to tito view, moscow bureau chief, urim, shatteau, who is now base to indian latvian capital riga after d. w was forced to leave russia, and he told us about the descent in russia after president putin's call up offer service. the descent seems to be wide spread across russia and people are
10:08 am
absolutely nervous. it said that partial mobilization will affect $3300000.00 reserve is to which supposed to be just 1 point, one percent of the total number of those who can be called up. but the problem is that most in russia do not believe in partial mobilization and think that much more men will be called up than announced. some are trying to leave the country, we just saw it in the report. a plane tickets have skyrocketed, orders, go to an advocate, and the 3rd will probably try to get fake certificates about an illness in order not to be called up. i've got many friends in russia who are now leaving in great fear, even though they have never served in the army. yuri, how is state media treating the call up and how does their coverage of putin move public opinion? well of course the russian state media leave no doubt that to the mobilization in russia is right and to necessary. oh,
10:09 am
it's no wonder they absolutely aligned. a war is about dying at the front of a shadow to buy other specific warriors, such as what shall i do with my mortgage if i am called to up and my employer officials officially virus, me or will the reserve is to be treated financially the same way in the same way as a professional soldiers. of course, all of this distracts from the real question, will as survive at all or will i have to die at the front, like thousands or of other russian soldiers in recent months. but these questions have been not asked are on russian television so far, but on the streets where yesterday thousands of people, protested sir uri, we're seeing descent. we've seen arrests. we've even seen booked. i have flights on which many russians seem to be, fling the country. is it likely that there will be any tangible impact on putin or the conduct of the war in ukraine as a result of all this?
10:10 am
it's pablo difficult to say and if and how many russians are going to take to the streets in the next days or some experts say that to this mobilization is at the beginning over the end of pollutants. korea, because of the mood in the country can change completely. all of us on the other hand, i don't see any mess protests coming because people are totally intimidated. i think that the russians are just totally disoriented, disoriented to the war that seemed far away. somewhere beyond the board, us is now suddenly in the arrow own country and many who didn't want to know anything about as his so called special operation at many are now directly confronted with the war as for pollutants plans in ukraine. i think that a, with this mobilization has clearly shown that he has no intention of changing his plans of ending this war. on the contrary, his obviously preparing the russians, the russian people for a long war. thank you. you re did abuse era shadow in the latin capital. reagan
10:11 am
thank ukrainian president followed ramirez lansky has implored the world to punish russia for its invasion of his country in a much anticipated video address on day 2 of the united nations general assembly. he also laid out 5 conditions for peace with russia. the 2nd day of the united nations general assembly a conference dominated by challenges and crises, global food shortages, late soaring energy prices. the dangers of climate change all overshadowed by the war in ukraine, pre recorded in a rear video address president, florida may zalinski laid out what he called the ukranian peace formula. reading 5 non negotiable conditions to end the conflict in between different all life items of our formula, punishment for aggression, protection of life. restoration of security and territorial integrity,
10:12 am
security guarantees and determination to defend. one south. i rule out that the settlement can happen on a different basis than they ukrainian peace, formal. but as ukraine outlined conditions for peace, russia prepared for escalation. just hours before the general assembly gathered. russian president vladimir putin announced a partial mobilization of military reservists in his own pre recorded address to the nation. he also made veiled threats to defend russia using nuclear weapons. u. s. president joe biden condemned putin's threats as reckless and cold on world leaders to stand against russia and uphold the principles of the united nations. right? because of nations can per so there are pearl ambitions,
10:13 am
without consequences that we put at risk. everything is very institution stands for everything. but despite widespread condemnation in the general assembly, there is little the un can do in practical terms assembly, as one of 5 permanent members of the security council. russia hold to the power to veto any binding resolution. so if you please just leave. earlier i spoke to dr j's mcclain, a russia expert and author in the english city of oxford. and i asked her how seriously she takes vladimir putin's threat to use nuclear weapons. he does tend to resort to nuclear black male when russia is suffering defeats always, not doing well in the war. and the use of nuclear rhetoric has been a longstanding feature since presidency take place as 2012. and because nuclear nuclear stockpile is one of the remaining ways in which russia is quite
10:14 am
clearly still a superpower. and perhaps, especially at the time when the military is not doing, as well as, as they might hope it's, it's a useful being for should be good. right? well, yesterday you tweeted that russians marching and fleeing now aren't protesting the killing of ukrainians. they're protesting that they'll have to kill ukrainians or be killed by them. so could this motivate enough russians to stand up to putin's war? yes, i think as a clarification, of course, some russians are protesting both. i think it's more what i mean is the act is different. the act of mobilization is not the sorry, the active breaches. mobilization is not the same as the act to protesting against ukrainian when it doesn't involve you directly. i do think that this is potentially quite a dangerous situation, because oh, to me, the russian government relies on removing political agency from people. and so,
10:15 am
if part of your entire kind of ammo, modus operandi is to remove political agency from people and expect them to just sort of accept things and to stay out of politics. then if a me, if you give them political agency one you, they might not like it and they might protest it even if they're not necessarily against the war or 2. they might like it very much and they might really get a taste for this political agency and you know what they might do with doctor jade mclinn in the english city of oxford. thank you. thank you. now to some other stories we're following for you. european union foreign policy chief, joseph coral, says the you will impose more sanctions on russia. put out, spoke after an emergency meeting of u foreign ministers on the sidelines of the un general assembly. the decision comes in response to the credit in order to mobilize reserve troops for the war in ukraine threats. if any is government says it will assess every visa application by
10:16 am
russian citizens seeking to avoid military service. there are already exceptions for russians on humanitarian grounds. earlier neighboring lethia said it will not issue visas to russians. avoiding mobilization un backed court in cambodia has upheld a genocide conviction against the last surviving leader of the commander rouge in 2018 q. some fun was jailed for life on charges of genocide against ethnic minority vietnamese. it's estimated that nearly 2000000 people were killed during the prior rouge is rule from 1975 to 979. iran has imposed a near total internet shut down following days of antique government protests. the death of a 22 year old woman held in custody by iran's morality police sparked demonstrations across the country. many of those protests were organized on line massa. i mean,
10:17 am
he died last week while being detained for allegedly wearing a job or headscarf too loosely. her death unleashed widespread anger over freedom and women's rights in the islamic republic. the protests are the biggest iran has seen in years defiance against it on leadership limit that burning the head. i thought identity with mazda, a mini, the young it onion woman who died in the custody of it on morality. police, her alleged crime not wearing her head scarf properly. anger is widespread. protest, adapting it, grows it on. and women at the forefront. their demand waiting to hear concealing her job should be a joy. not a lot. oh minute on oil, women are required to cover did hits regardless of their fit. he had to hitch about
10:18 am
edge bar force has never been effective anywhere in the world. and her job should not be a law. on a job is a choice. it shouldn't be forced what i like to wait. it either might not be a total resign martha. i mean there passed outreach. right, right. the u. s. president joe biden, in his address to the un general assembly, expressed solidarity a bit that protested on with the brave citizens the brave women of iran who right now are demonstrated to secure their basic rights it on faith. it is investigating that, that of martha and nina and a key was the west of hypocrisy. julia wrong considered the double standards of some governments fees of human rights as the most important factor and the institutionalization on the violation of your own right. so done,
10:19 am
and that was in san honest, it in it on protested, continue to be arrested, did at it both of many been killed. the government, if all took willing that assistance by blocking the internet, making it harder for people to organized protests. you're watching g, don't you? still to come? germany's documentary archer throws foreclose after being dogged by accusations of anti semitism as this world renowned exhibition sustained lasting damage. the german parliament has begun an investigation into the botched evacuation of german troops from afghanistan last summer. in particular, the committee will focus on the many local afghan helpers who were left behind during the chaotic withdrawal, putting them at risk of being targeted by the taliban. these images from afghanistan, shock, the world. afghans fleeing the country. after
10:20 am
us, german and allied troops withdrew, ending a 20 year mission, western backed afghan forces crumbled, and the taliban quickly regained power to taliban, very strategic, and they em. i think sometimes i had the impression they were always 3 steps ahead of our a strategy and our negotiations. germany like other countries faced intense criticism over the long wars outcome. berlin is accused of having misjudged the security situation in the country. the failures and their consequences now a subject of a german parliamentary investigation. so i think this will be quite a sensitive issue and, and with very sensitive discussions. so they, i think and yes, maybe we need some clarity about what went wrong in the end. during the evacuation . critics say german organizations have abandoned many local staff members and their families, leaving them at risk from the taliban. more than 6000 afghans are still waiting to
10:21 am
be evacuated to germany on val husker yosh as a member of the pro business free democratic party, the f t p on this part of the german investigation into afghanistan and we spoke to her earlier. well, we are at the beginning. good morning. we at the beginning of the process of the investigation committee today. we will meet here in bell in worth 12 experts or who will discuss with us and explain their view on the situation after the do her agreement or what's been done. so we're as we, as i said, we are just at the beginning of the process. and we will see from there what, what, what needs to be done and what, what the learnings can be from, from, from this mission. all right, but in the coalition agreement, signed by the 3 governing parties, including your party, the government pledge to protect representatives of civil society such as journalists, activists, and scientists. why has that not happened?
10:22 am
well, earlier the far end of the foreign office is in the process also together with the ministry of the interior to put together a refugee program for those people who are still at risk and still in afghanistan. and this is very, very urgent because we are aware of the, the critical situation for this group. but they are also a lot of practical obstacles. for example, in pakistan, there has been a flooding and also some countries around afghanistan to not accept and then taking people without passports. so there are a lot of practical em and obstacles, but we do want to get people out who are at risk. now do you think it's right to speak of a political and strategic failure as so members of the committee have done well,
10:23 am
i think it's a little bit too early, but we do know that a lot of mistakes have been done. so there was definitely a lack of preparedness with regard to local staff. and i mean, an after the door high agreement has been signed, maybe there was a lot of wishful thinking that the, that staying in afghanistan would last much longer for, for the german. and also the u. s. troops. but we should have been prepared much more with regard to local stuff, like putting up lists and, and consolidate lists and, and being aware how to evacuate people eventually, and also quickly if needed. now this inquiry is not you to report it findings until 2024. isn't that a bit long to wait till there is, of course is the long way and the people who suffer the most. and to way to get at least a little bit of justice from this a committee for them this, this time is a long time. but it's also
10:24 am
a huge bag of documents that we need to investigate. a lot of witnesses we need to talk to. but this investigation committee is no obstacle in putting up the, the refugee program, which i have talked to. so these are 2 entirely on coupons. its own processes, lawmaker and velasco use of the governing f t p. party. thank you. thank you. thank you. now to germany's world renowned exhibition of contemporary art documentary, which this year has been mired in controversy and scandal, organizers have spent the past a 100 days trying to defend themselves against accusations of anti semitism and censorship. as the turbulent exhibition draws to a close, we take stock and assess the damage done. hello. 2 this year, instead of inviting establish does the document to wanted to highlight artists from countries without major art markets,
10:25 am
all curated by the indonesian art collective rang group up. but those lofty goals were soon overshadowed by a scandal that shook the art world and that to cause for political sanctions. classes. classic anti semitism, obvious anti semitism is not what i expected about a pilot from the arches collective charging party showing anti semitic stereotypes . jews depicted with the faces of pigs, an orthodox jew wearing nazi symbols. it was quickly covered up then taken down in animals. this can't happen in the country like germany, with its history and the responsibility it bears. it wasn't just the banner. there were other controversial works, including a video installation showing blatantly antisemitic palestinian propaganda films. critics cold for the document to remove the work from the exhibition the ruined group, a collective officially apologized,
10:26 am
but insisted they saw the job as networkers and organizers and not as key writers or sensors of the artists on display. none of us were clean as a curator if people call us loretta. oh, we don't could these ice but we never caught our same face. a curator. some have defended the group saying they did what they were invited by the documentary to do show the art world in the global northeast perspective of artists in the global south. ah, actually they showed to everybody a vision of the world from another point of the world in all. so, you know, it is known as though document of collective nurse and corporation which is through the controversy probably helped boost attendance at this year documentary. and the
10:27 am
networking and exchanging castle between the invited artists and collectives worked much as intended. but the scandal may have done lasting damage to the image of germany's largest and most declaimed art show. oh, well that's all for now coming up next conflict. so tim sebastian interviews has seen the se, the former women's affairs minister in afghanistan. and don't forget, you can stay up to date on our website, d, w dot com and follow up on our social media cats. i'll be back again at the top, the next hour for me and the team here bullet, thanks for watching. take care. with
10:28 am
you. into the conflict zone with sebastian or year of taliban rule in afghanistan. i'm a country is only to me you expert to highlight to the extra judicial killing, staggering repression of women. we go, my guess is week is how fema stopping? all my minister in the last afghan government swept to side by the taliban because
10:29 am
she feel country was betrayed by the way. conflict zone next on d. w. leaving islamic state leonor. uh, life back in germany. ah, she seemed to be a normal teenager. but as 15 leonora disappeared to join the islamic state in syria. for 6 years, her father fought for his daughter's life until she finally came home, a story about guilt and 2nd chance in 45 minutes on d w. ah. how did she become adult hitler's favorite director. and how did he
10:30 am
become a forgotten filled pioneer? lady he finished and arnold fun. between hitler and hollywood. in 1932, they set out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening a film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love, seduction and power. ice cold passion starts october 8th on d. w. a year of taliban rule in afghanistan and the country is on its knees. un experts have highlighted extrajudicial killings, kidnapping, and staggering repression of women and girls. all this on the fastest meltdown of a country's economy in modern times with millions at risk of hunger and starvation . my guess is.
