ah, ah ah ah, this is the w. news ly, from berlin. a surprise prisoner swapped brush releases about $200.00 ukrainian spoke to them captured during the siege of money all put in exchange, you crank, gives up a prominent ally of vladimir putin also coming up the

gremlins decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of reserve. us to find a new grain spots on tests across russia. ukraine president calls for a special war tribunal and lays out his conditions, but peace with russia. during a speech at the un general assembly. also demonstrations escalade in iran after the death of a woman arrested by the morality police for the way she bore he job. ah, i've been fas orlan, welcome, you, crane and russia have carried out her prison to swap the largest since moscow launched its invasion. as part of the exchange, russia released over 200 prisoners, many considered heroes in ukraine for their role in defending the besieged city of mario. but it return ukraine released 55 russians among them. a close ally of latin

hood. i'm coming after months in captivity. all of these prisoners of war arrived in northern ukraine in a deal brokered by turkey and saudi arabia. among those freed, our commanders of the as of regiment regarded as heroes in ukraine for defending the ass off style plant. on the present, those from the new green to mister president de ukrainians. i am beyond happy for our return. who do i? thank you. a lot close to your super important the emotions are overwhelming. i thank you from all the armed forces and marines that defended. as of stahl, vincent do the for shows us good time slot all the, as our fighters were brought to turkey instead of ukraine. as part of the deal ukraine's president laid out the plan to suit the slothful. omar greenland,

the moral ukraine has agreed with turkey. i spoke about this with president of on that 5 of our commanders who are released from captivity will be in full safety in comfortable conditions under the personal protection of the president of turkey until the end of the war. but we will provide their families with the opportunity to see them leave the name of budgets. the prisoner swap came as a surprise, but it had been months in the making. more than $200.00 ukrainian soldiers were exchanged for $55.00 russian troops and a pro kremlin ukrainian politician. 10 foreigners of fried by the kremlin, were flown to saudi arabia. the kingdom says it's facilitating their return to their respective countries of it in the colony who's in hockey for us in the northeast of ukraine. and nick, how would you describe this prisoner swap it?

is it a fair swap for both sides? but definitely there's been a lot of criticism on the russian side that russia just hasn't got enough people out of this. that this is basically weighing the kind of prisons the ukraine had to give up to valuing them to haile. and that basically, this is a deal on ukraine's terms, may be one that was carried out to gain some kind of favor for russia, with turkish present edwin and the saudis, who are also behind the mediation in this whole process. but definitely this is something that is not, wasn't expected here came, is a big surprise. that is normally the way with these exchanges. if they work out, no one really outside of the process knows that can happen until it has happened. but certainly lots of happiness, lots of kind of happy social media posts in ukraine. the sense that this was something that you can come out with a lot of successes and basically everything it wanted. what about the timing of this? they did it have something to do with ukraine being in a better position to negotiate considering its recent gains on the battlefield.

are you crazy? we picked up a lot more russian prisons of war. that's certainly the case that exit from africa region was often so chaotic, lots of units were left behind and the ukrainians are still finding russians are hiding out in abandoned houses, trying to find some way to get back to russia. but i think this wasn't an attempt by the russians to somehow, you know, great, good will with more with, with care of the situation right now. the, the mood, mood music between k of in moscow is as bad as it's ever been. i think this is definitely more about the mediators about saudi arabia, about turkey. russia is now crucially, depend on turkey for lots of things for getting things in and out of the, the black sea for lots of its trade or for buying its energy. so i think that's going to be more likely the reason behind this, rather than some to improve things kinky of moscow. is it also a signal of the desert position that moscow is finding in itself arm fighting this

battle on, on so many a different france, not just on the battlefield but politically as well. of course, well defeat this is doesn't look like a sign like her. it's kind of symptom of strength or just the same way as the mobilization looks like kind of desperate attempt to somehow compensate for the lack of boots on the ground and the lack of people willing to sign up for lunch early. i think he was, if you look at some of the people being, he changes the commanders of the as of regiment who are in marry a pole that people, that russia has not recognized as prisoners or previously said were mercenaries and would be treated as such. we had foreign fighters who were condemned to death in the so called to nurse people to publix. and so there was a lot of heads being scratched in moscow. basically how it could be that moscow was giving up. the people who just few months ago were being held up as enemies of russia, people who would face execution. and this is the kind of to change of mind, the kind of a pretty radical departure from their previous positions that hasn't been explained

by the russian government. and that is causing a lot of discontent in russia. analysis and reaction there from he w, corresponded nick connelly in hockey, russian police of arrested over 1300 people protesting against the partial mobilization of reservists to fight in ukraine. president vladimir putin says though, bolster his forces. western leaders say the reservists are desperately needed to replace brush and losses in a conflict the kremlin grossly underestimated. oh yes. vladimir prudence lead is decree is not going unchallenged in russia. but the states crackdown is hard. none the less the crudest monitoring groups as mass arrests have been made across the country, including in moscow. yes, well, i'm not afraid. i'm not a friend 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's 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 an apparent exodus of people unwilling to join the conflict. many of these russians arriving in serbia are still fearful of speaking in opposition to the war. i as quickly as you are and i have read, i paid the closer my vermont and hope all is the seed and i do have problem in my

contact. but, but i want to say 3 don't for you re, i, i want to please somebody to stop pollution. the price is a one way flights from russia has been skyrocketing since bought and speech. and they're still selling out fast. ukrainian presidents loved him as the landscape appealed to the un general assembly to punish russia by removing its security council vito in a much anticipated video address. he laid out his conditions for peace. they include a special tribunal to hold moscow accountable, and a compensation fund. zelinski says the kremlin should pay for this wool with its own assets. ukraine was created 2nd day of the united nations general assembly, a conference dominated by challenges and crises. global food shortages, soaring energy prices, the dangers of climate change,

all overshadowed by the war in ukraine. before that, in a video address, the president vladimir lensky, laid out what he called the ukrainian peace formula. greedy, 5 non negotiable conditions, to end the conflict. and for all 5 items of our formula, punishment for aggression, protection of life, restoration of security and territory integrity, security guarantees and determination to defend. while, so i rule out that this settle man can happen on a different basis than they you graham beast, formal. but as ukraine outlined conditions for peace as the russia prepared for escalation, in his own pre recorded address to the nation, russian president vladimir putin made veiled threats to defend russia using nuclear weapons. the west u. s. president joe biden condemned putin's threats as

reckless and called on world leaders to stand against russia and uphold the principles of the united nations van ride because of nations can pursue their imperial ambitions without consequences. now, we put at risk. everything is very is the tertiary stance war everything. but despite widespread condemnation in the general assembly, there's little that you and can do in practical terms off of this as one of 5 permanent members of the security council. russia holds the power to veto any binding resolutions and millions of ukrainians. zaragoza is an expert on russian foreign, foreign and security policy at the german council on foreign relations. think thank hooton's cold up 300000 reservists. will that replenish russia's embattled frontline? it will very much like not turn the tide because there's number of 300000 is

exactly rated. russia will probably not be able to pull these tubes together. they will be poorly and maybe even not at all the train. plus they will have a low moral. however, this does not mean that they couldn't be a valuable asset when it comes to secure in the occupied territories in ukraine against the ukraine offensive. so it's not turning to type, but it will much, much like to have some kind of input. well, if it's not going to make much of a difference, people will be asking themselves, what about this other threat? this threat of euclid weapons, which putin says, is not a bluff formerly to dmitri medford, f as backed that up in as many woods. how serious is that threat? that gary speaking we of course, cannot, will this possibility out. however, i see these concepts right? because we have seen them before in this war, rather as an instrument to deter further west in support, especially when it comes to volunteer increased support like main battle. tens are

also at mich to long range, visit precision. so how should the west viet without risking a nuclear escalation? so it should definitely not back down and i think it should call this and i think still is at this point some kind of love. but it should all clear that a nuclear talk on who crane would have very serious consequences in terms of international i lation also called china in terms of sanctions and terms that will not cause any backing down in tell me would ever accept these piece conditions that have been laid out by the landscape. i don't think we should take these or 3rd, a 100 percent of c r u. i don't think the landscape the mark over for problem here

. you have have proved to be quite flexible when it comes to yours. and then the ations of something that we haven't seen so far in this war. so it won't go improved. so over the last 10 years, i think the core problem, the maximum demand by russia, the complete package relation, the bike, rather than the mazda from the actions. we thought over the past days that ukraine's counter offensive as manage to maintain, if not even escalate its counter offensive, does putin have an exit plan? and actually his political survival is linked to the outcome of this war. yes, that's true. and i think mad would never stop the change we've ever septic tanks. for example, yesterday mobilization, he even type his pay closer to the come up the war. and so your exit strategy for him is rather difficult at the moment. however,

i wouldn't pull it out because very much depends on how you feed of victory this war will be defined and how, who is able to solve this kind of the math thickly. so i wouldn't rule in that room as but yeah, become much more difficult. ok, you heard from security experts possible. thank you very much for joining us today . on d. w. news. you like a quick look at some other developments for you. the use foreign policy chief joseph beretta says the blog will impose more sanctions or russia if i offer an emergency meeting of foreign ministers for the european union on the sidelines of the un general assembly. the decision comes in response to the kremlin is ordered to partly mobilize, reservists have to discuss a powerful earthquake construct west in mexico. the tremor is being blamed for at least 2 deaths in mexico. city. officials say minor damage and land slides have

been reported in the state of telecom un back court in cambodia has our elder genocide conviction against the law surviving leader of the command ruge in 2018 to some fun was jailed for life on challenges of genocide against ethnic minority be at the meet about 2000000 people were killed during the commit rouge's rule from 975 to 79. most of the 230 pilot whales, based on the west coast of tasmania in australia, have now died trying to help the animals before a rescue team arrived. pods of pilot whales occasionally lose their bearings and beach in large numbers. watching the w news still to come. germany's document showed, draws to a close after being dogged by accusations of anti semitism, has the reputation of the world renowned exhibitions sustained lasting damage that

iran has almost completely shut off internet access. after days of protests, response by the death of a 22 year old woman held in custody by iran's morality police. many of the rallies were organized on line massa. i mean, he died last week while being detained for allegedly, wearing a huge apple headscarf too loosely as white spread anger over freedom and women's rights in the islamic republic. the protests of the biggest around is seen in years defiance against it on leadership. women a burning the headphone? it's different thought identity with martha armine, the young it onion woman who died in the custody of it on the morality police. her alleged crime not reading her head scarf properly. anger is white spirit protest, set it up to across it on and women out at the forefront their demand waiting to

hear concealing her job should be a joy. not a lot. oh minute on oil of him in adequate to cover that hits regardless of that fit he had to the he to about edge bar force has never been effective anywhere in the world. and his job should not be a law on a job you had job is a choice. it shouldn't be force what i like to wait it. others might not or not because i thought it was on martha's. i mean there have been outreach very white the u. s president joe biden, in his address to the un general assembly, expressed solidarity of the protested and with the brave citizens and the brave women of iran who right now are demonstrating secure their basic rights it on faith . it is investigating that, that of martha armine and accused the west of hypocrisy. don't we're, i'm going to,

does the double standards of some government, these of a human rights as the most important factor and the institutionalization on the violation of your own. right? so then in that was in sand, honest, it ended on protest, just continue to be addressed. it did. i think both of many been killed kickoff meeting. also coiling that assistance by blocking the internet, making it harder for people to organize protests. let's bring in oliver toiling a shot, a political scientist who focuses on iran, author of the book, iran in an emerging new world order. the women involved in these protests, a daring. they've been burning their head scarves in public. how much of a threat are they though to the regime? i mean, the women have been the 1st victim of the sombre public since its inception because of discriminatory laws against them. and also the obligatory job as you say,

correctly there at the forefront of the current demonstrations and protests all over the country. but do not make a mistake here. these protests are far beyond the job issue. now, there are political and, or targeting the political system as a whole. so this is the real story. so it has, you know, this part was certainly related to the job. and the legal crackdown against also women. i mean at least in the case of massa, i mean the, but the protests are much more political than that. and as such, there are similar as you know, like nationwide protests we've seen against the regime know, kicked off by several grievances, but becoming very political in the last few years. if they're about so much more than that. will the spark lead to a lot more much, much more of a threat at the regime? well, we are seeing, you know,

incredible images and video footages from iran. there are young people, students, women, and both male and female, are taking to the streets with immense rage and courage confronting and even that time came the security forces, including the police and the best seed militia. so this is quite, quite dramatic. so this is quite new, this kind of this kind of rage and that we're seeing. so, and today of course, we're seeing, you know, the regime a blocking the internet in order to be able to suppress the protests, even more leisurely and without the international community being able to see them in full. but i hope there are still images going outside and we have to, of course, pay more attention in times when the internet is there. a way it way seeing and hearing about this crackdown will authority succeed in crushing this movement.

well, we know that iran always deployed is heavy force an iron fist against peaceful protesters and also against acts of civil disobedience. so this is a violence is the main instrument to deal with these protests from the song republics point of view. and we've also seen a brutal, brutal crack down so far with several people be killed and a lot more being injured. and now the nomic revolution guard court has pledged to, to actually intensify this crank down at times when the internet is down. so for a loss, we can expect much more violence from the states side against the protestors. u. s . president joe biden expressed his solidarity with the iranian protest. is that the un general assembly is there more the international community can do than that?

absolutely, and i think that, you know, the focus is more on the european capitals because they don't have this kind of poison relationship as the united states has with iran. and it would be really a good sign of solidarity also for the peaceful protest for iran, if there were no harsh criticism, voice by european capitals that we don't see so far. unfortunately, i'll, if i thought i measured iran, expert and political scientists, thank you for your insights. thank you. germany is well renowned exhibition of contemporary art don't mentor, which has this year been my it in controversy and scandal is coming to a close organizes have spent the past 100 days trying to defend themselves against accusations of anti semitism and censorship. well we take

a look now and assess the damage that has been done. hello. 2 this year, instead of inviting establish does the document to wanted to highlight artists from countries without major art markets. all curated by the indonesian art collective rang grew path. 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. 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, and was quickly covered up then taken down in animals, this can 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 called for the document to remove the work from the exhibition the ruined group. a collective officially apologized, but insisted they saw the job as network as and organizers and not as curators or sensors of the artists on display. none of house or the clean is a curator, if people call us loretta. oh, we don't call this 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 north iep. the 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, it is known as though look, my thou collective mass and corporation which is to the controversy, probably helped boost attendance at this year. documentary at the 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. finally, after delivering some dazzling images of distant galaxies, the james web space telescope has now turned its powerful gaze closer to home on our own solar system. these images of neptune are the 1st to be captured by the web telescope. they offer an unprecedented view of the planet in infrared light, including some of the sharpest views of the planets, rings in decades. the last time scientists had such a clear picture of nature was in 1989 when masses voyage it to craft flew belt. a

reminder of the top story way following for you. ukraine and russia have carried out to a surprise prisoners while with russia releasing over 200 prisoners of war in return for 55 russians. and in all the gog ally of russian president vladimir putin, many of the ukrainian prisoners had been captured during the siege of mario put up next focus on europe asks, what is the future of the commonwealth after the death of the queen i made visible, and i'll have more news for you next down the line with
