i have so much to live, shattering the glass ceiling women in architecture. this has to be really, really good. start september 30th on d, w. ah, this is d w. why from by land. the un secretary general warms the security council of dangerous developments in the war in ukraine, and called for an investigation of human rights abuses. as the u. s accuses vladimir putin of showing contempt for the un charter. also on the program, german parliament debate sending more heavy weapons including tanks to ukraine,

an issue that could expose divisions in the government coalition. ah, i'm so gale. welcome to the program. the secretary general of the united nations opened a session of the security council in new york by describing the basis developments in the war. and ukraine is dangerous and disturbing. detailing a catalogue of cruelty antonia quoterush savvy allegations of human rights abuses, must be thoroughly investigated. anti criticised russia leader vladimir putin is veiled threats to use nuclear weapons. ged is, was a bass i have said from the start and the census war has unlimited potential to do terrible harm in ukraine and around the world here on the floor. and paul saw the

idea of nuclear conflict once unthinkable has become a subject in debate. this in itself is totally unacceptable. the all nuclear arms states should recommit to the non use and total elimination of nuclear weapons. even if org receive more, the lower us in love like correspondent mikaela christina is at the un and have this assessment. so the speech, oh, well that the un secretary general seems to say a real sense of outrage that vladimir putin would cross that red line of making nuclear threats once again. the 1st time it seemed to have been more shock. that would be my reading of it, and now it is outraged to the very top and at this wasn't addressed to the un security council. it's very mission. the reason it exists is to maintain international peace and stability in the threshold at for it actually deciding at any resolutions is that anything is perceived a threat, a to that very world order to that very piece that will sides have vowed to

maintain. and at the very fact that rasa could veto this at any time, is preventing the un security council from acting on top of that, there is a responsibility to protect. that is something that voted me lensky, actually called on at leaders to actually take more seriously. also in the un security council not been used many times in syria, in molly, in countries that don't have the kind of political clout that rossa pass. so patience is wearing thin in the knowledge that the un is unable to really act against this rule in ukraine and against russia's actions that on, on that point they were. because if you say, as you say, russia has a veto. so what is the point of today's security council meeting? well, at the very least, m a, russia had to sit there and take what everybody else was saying in the un security council. and that did include some criticism from china. your china doesn't

actively criticize, but when you have tie needs a foreign minister sitting there and calling on all states to respect international borders. but also calling for threats to be heard. that is china really navigate in a delicate balance to still be perceived as not going against rasa, but really letting it show that patience is wearing thin in bathing as well at with this at ward, that is causing so many people so much also economically. and let's just listen to you as secretary state antony, blinkin, and russia's foreign minister. love rav one after the other. a tell, a very different takes on what is happening right now. in europe, the president putin picked this week, as most of the world gathers with united nations to add fuel to the fire that he started, shows his utter contempt for the un charter for the general assembly. and for this

council, the very international order that we have gathered here to uphold, is being shredded before our eyes. we cannot, we will not allow president putin to get away with it. nathan fornia. so the notation of once particularly cynical here is the position of the states whether popping up ukraine with weapons on the la goal is obvious. they don't even hide it issued to drag out the fighting for as long as possible. despite the destruction and the victims. in order to wear down and weaken russia, and that she feels like such a goals means that western countries are directly involved in the ukrainian conflict example, which makes them aside in it. if you will throw minting of this conflict by the collective west remains unpunished. victims up of them, those as well. really, you won't be punishing yourselves, sir, as he was by the side, missy beth, and the cousins. ok, so mikaela casa, everyone has this, say, i be un,

but can with the security council that do anything to actually end this war? well, the short answer is no. but what the un security council can do, and particularly the general assembly, he meeting for the very 1st time physically after the pandemic, is a 2 so russia, that there are limits it to patients around the world, particularly because so many countries are affected by climate change. right now, which was supposed to be that one sounds of mankind that the un wanted to tackle. that's what should be taking center state if you talk to many countries acutely affected by it. and that war in ukraine with 44 percent of the brain, it needs in africa, coming from ukraine. and russia alone is exacerbating that problem for many countries. so patience is wearing thin, rasa is on the defensive. here we are seeing russia putting

a very different narrative as a country that felt attacked well, in the end, i wonder whether that will actually matter so much because countries that don't know how to feed their people and that fear for political stability because of that simply want the situation to end. and the big question now is whether vladimir putin raising that nuclear threat, once again, it is a risk that can be overcome in the short term or whether that could in the end, drag out this physical conflict can thank you for that because i'm a kind of covenant in new york of vladimir puritans, escalation of the war is running into increasing opposition within russia, at least arrested more than a 1000 people demonstrating against a call up at reserve us at nationwide protests flights after the country are also selling out, as people sees what could be their last chance to leave, making

a touch down in a stumble. just a day after russia announced a military draft, many russian men are jumping on whatever flights they can find out of moscow. turkey where arriving russian passengers don't require a visa for entry is a popular choice. the modernization issue, one of the reasons why and here. i feel that not really many lots of russians, people want to, to fights and want to be mobilized and want to go to them. so this suit and serbia were short term russian visitors can also enter visa, free. fully packed flights arrived for moscow. as panic has surged, a demand for one, we flights flights to turkey, serbia, as well as armenian azerbaijan, have entirely sold out reports of a mass exodus. if young men have been down played by the kremlin, which claims the situation is exaggerated, but those arriving in serbia say the fear of conscription,

israel say, sir, of, or is horrible. so a psyche to be afraid to help more and all settings to it's hard for everyone. it's a difficult situation at the land border with finland. a long queue rushing cars has lined up to cross finland is now rush as last remaining you neighbor, that still allows the entry of russian shing and visa holders. but while f and when prepares to limit or band to entry fresh and chorus, and as flights out of moscow become unavailable, it may be now or never for those wanting to avoid the draft. germany parliament, the bondage targets, debating, stepping out for military support for ukraine. the largest opposition party, the center. right. see the you want to and want to send battle tanks and fighting vehicles plan could expose cracks in the governing coalition. lawmakers from the

greens and liberals favor more military assistance center left chancellor, olaf shells insisting germany keeps instead of its nato allies. and no nato member has yet supplied you credit with battle tags or forks and it should. sometimes the mother will ask our correspondent, simon young at the bundis tar go. what lawmakers have been saying will fill this sir. debate here in the parliament to day was initiated by the largest opposition party. that's the question. democrats and see if you block. and they say that what's really needed to help you crane is to deliver all available tanks and armored vehicles to ukraine so that they can defend themselves. and they say that the government has so far been to relock to do that. i haven't explained why they say, and they also say that the german policy is beginning to divide europe. now,

on the other side, the government parties say, well, it's the christian democrats who after all, lead the government here in germany for 16 years. he who didn't build up germany's defense capability sufficiently, and that's why we've got this problem. now they say what's needed is a, is a careful analysis of what ukraine really needs. also, they say coordination with other nato partners is essential. and a cautious approach is the, is the right one. so you've got a sort of very clear divide between, between the government and the opposition on the right approach. and so far, germany has been, again, sending at tanks into to ukraine. well that is true coat, john chancellor shaw says that to actually germany is done a great deal. it's delivered. it's how it says 10 of them so far and more a plan to be delivered and some other heavy equipment. it says that germany is no

delivered some of the most modern equipment currently being used by ukraine on the battlefield. the defense minister says that, you know what germany is doing is concentrating or helping with air defense and artillery. so they say they are doing what they can, but the opposition points out, well, we've got stocks here in germany, of unused leopard tanks and also moder armored vehicles. you know, these are both things that could go, they say relatively quickly to ukraine, and it's the kind of thing that president zelinski indeed has been asking for. that's what's going to push back russian troops, they say, and ultimately pusher vladimir putin to the negotiating table. thanks for simon simon young. at the wonders talk is brief. look at small stories that making headlines around the world will start in iran, which is signal that it's ready to increase its crackdown on protest. struck by the

death of a young woman in police custody. the 17 people have died as public outrage over massa. i mean, he's death show no sign of abating 22 year old. died after being arrested for wearing her head scarf improperly on the pakistani prime minister in round com has appeared in court in islamabad. he apologized for his outburst against a female judge during a rally last month, which was interpreted as a threat or game, say judiciary. apology may allow him to stay out of prison and avoid charges of contempt. an earthquake has struck western mexico killing at least 2 people near mexico city. official site damage on land slides have been reported in the state of mitchell a car. now the year german parliament has begun an investigation into last year's botched evacuation of troops from afghanistan. will focus on the many afghan assistance a less left behind during the chaotic withdrawal and making them targets for the

tally. about these images from afghanistan shocked the world. afghans fleeing the country. after us, german and allied troops withdrew, ending a 20 year mission. western backed afghan forces crumbled, and a taliban quickly regained power. the taliban were 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 am 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 $6000.00 afghans are still waiting to be evacuated to germany. i said, show up to date, so the cult foolish will have more world news at the top of the hour of next on the w documentary on the indian leader, the render modi's global ambitions. i've written with stories that people of a world over information they provide.
