a spokeswoman for over the info and independent and geo monitoring political prosecution in russia. miss goes, that's all about. do you see the mood shifting, our more rushes out, openly turning their back on kootenai and his war and ukraine. yeah, i king's, our goal is to change the search and because for many yes and the demons between russian sites and was in there. that's hard to also to reinforce my life for people and in exchange of the phone. questions about politics and about human rights violations. by that, are you ready to change things when they definitely see a lot of people who have never done and especially enjoyed the process numbers of the protests we are seeing though are mostly taking place in the bigger

cities in moscow in st. petersburg. how big is the sense really in the rest of the country? it's difficult to say hi, somebody bought the richest place, a few options in more than 40 russia. so it's not just about going back. it's all about foreign country. russia, in your latest report with over the info you, you documented some of the arrests and some of the things that happened to people who went down to protest and were arrest that they were beaten. they were some of them forced into conscription. we're fairly used to seeing authorities crackdown on descent and russia. what's different this time? other kids are polish, is much more brutal now even comparing to what's happening in february and march. and what's really the difference is 80 age for being detained at broccoli in st.

petersburg, for example, they got a rush of a process. we have never seen a big number of people been processed for you know, the time and found people who work offices abroad found guilty of it would go for autism. and it's also a shift, and i was play was the unique love police openly call in for office 3 and say opposite brought to you will go to the war because it's your by michelin. to what extent do you think, though all of all of that we're seeing right now, the protests that descend, the arrest will have a tangible impact on the war in ukraine and boots. effort to, to bolster troops. i. so please now is that

a lot of people offloading a bunch of, for example, i have a boss process and people live in north, directly with what's happening. but it can also show you the russian side may be pumping the war or just now leaving work in my moms. and i would say probably a huge crack. but do i think it's really important people try, you know, not goal of war and just shows russian to those who look depression could not agree with the war. maria, because it's over of the info. thanks for your time and all that information. thank you. the so called referendums, now underway were announced after ukrainian forces liberated a large part of territory formerly held by russian forces. one of the places retaking in that counter offensive was coupons in the harkey region. he

w corresponding to connolly visit at the town and sent us this report. russia is here to stay. that was the slogan, just a matter of weeks go here in coupons. as russian officials handed out passports in the end, the russian flag came down faster than any one could have imagined. but the russian army hasn't gone far. in fact, you can hear its artillery every few minutes. just a few kilometers away. even before the shilling stops ukrainian, prosecutors of fine coming. what remains of this police station, where russian troops had that base looking for evidence of potential war crimes love which also look me up with what i, it's a right now we're collecting evidence, brought the more law. some of the things we're looking for can be lost over time, but i'm with them go or that i'm worried that k, but we're looking for dna traces mother should fingerprints similar to that and also document. second law. i am likely she'll she'll be home. the thought that the russian departure was so hasty, the investigator tells us,

many of the soldiers left everything behind even their passports out on the streets . ukraine troops out number the locals. many residents took the 1st opportunity to evacuate, once ukrainian forces returned. those that remain, keep a low profile. tell us the fighting seems to be getting worse. on come with the helicopter, with overhead was not ukrainian, as everyone around us assumed. it was russian. ah, who had to come in now in a hurry, we will wait, monitors, racing that could be destroyed, could explode, and allow, waiting to see what's happening. this is the route here in front lines. this is tara, she is controlled by ukraine, but they're still constant threat of russian creation. and there's no sense he of that life was returning to normal in any sense to what many locals. life is actually getting harder in practical terms. recent shelling the scene lose 1st

power than running water. and now guess you know, we've nowhere to go. your parents are gone and the situation isn't much better where my sister is in the heart keeps good. as long as our apartment block is still standing, will stay, but it's not heating or water. the people here miss most is mobile phone coverage. hottest thing ludmilla tells us is not being able to check up on family. grandma meadows for this year, sometimes service comes back long enough to say a couple of words to each other. but you end up crying together more than actually speaking, you know, with this approach. my husband has 2 kids in har heath. we have no idea how they're doing a little darker gray officials promised phone service back in the metric days, although they called promised though if anything resembling life as it was before february 24th and the russian invasion a few hours up to any coupons. news comes through for adults and

a teenager wounded and yet more shilling. and here's a look now at a few other stories making headlines at the sour hello stadium. president mahmoud abbas has accused israel of deliberately impeding progress towards a 2 state solution. speaking of the un general assembly abbas that the united nations must grant full membership of palestine, we are maria philip. 4 people have been confirmed dead from the highly contagious eviler ebola virus in uganda. the government there declared an outbreak earlier this week. the 1st in 3 years, 19 more people suspected of contracting the virus or receiving medical treatment. heavy ambulances with bodies of lebanese migrants have departed from syria. the bodies were found after their boat capsized off the northern coast. only a dozen people were rescued. the migrants reportedly sailed from lebanon earlier this week,

hoping to reach europe. ron's president has promised to investigate the death of a young woman in police custody. masa armine was arrested by the morality police for allegedly not wearing her head scarf properly. the case has ignited a wave of violent anti government protests across a run, a wave of resistance not seen in years. iranian cities are engulfed in protests, despite the use of force by police. people continue to come out on to the straits. the death of masa armine sparked these protests. women are angry at the state dictating a strict dress code, but now the cause has become bigger. many men have joined to and protest supporting the cause. have sprung up around the world. from here in canada to new york and spain. iranian protestors want the current

leadership to go. the state is fighting back hard. there are reports of security forces, firing mental pellets and t gas. the army has warned it will confront enemies to ensure peace. oh, many have already been killed in the clashes, but for some mourners, this is only compounding their anger. at this funeral, they chant, we will fight, we will die. we will take iran back up. the rainy and leadership's attempt to quell the anger has so far been unsuccessful, governing force that i contacted her family, the family of the deceased at the very 1st opportunity. and i assured them personally that we will continue to investigate the incident. there are reports of instagram and whatsapp outages and attempt to discourage further protests. the fury

that is being caused by masa means death is shaking the hard line iranian state. thousands of protesters have marched through central berlin and what they call a coordinated global climate strike. the rally was organized by the fridays for future youth movement launched by activists grid a tune berg. demonstrators have called on the german government to establish a 100000000000 euro fund to fight climate change. while germany's climate envoy, jennifer morgan is at the united nations assembly this week where she spoke with d. w correspondent, mikayla kuth. not the 1st topic was global climate justice in the light of germany heading back and to fossil fuels to manage the current energy crisis. well, i think 1st of all, germany is focused mostly in this moment at accelerating our energy transformation to renewable energy and energy efficiency. we pass the largest bill through our parliament in 40 years for that we're having to do short term measures to ensure the well being of our people in the winter. so that means

a bit of coal that needs to come in. and so we are actually talking with countries about accelerating renewable energy and energy efficiency. and that's what they want to talk to us about as well because they see that that is the way future been in the future. that fossil fuels actually are not the way forward. now you will talk and talk to the industrialized nations who actually made their wealth through fossil fuel emissions. and now the costs are being paid by protect those poor countries. if there is some kind of guarantee, what can you tell for countries will western nations guarantee for the losses and damages fully? i think what we can say is that germany in the european union for whom i can speak, are ready to work to find the solutions for supporting countries. we need to take a step by step approach. we need to go into this next climate meeting in egypt with

open hearts and open minds to go step by step to see how we can support them. we've said minister bareback has said we're ready to look at financing within and outside of the un system. germany has put forward a global shield, which is a proposal to support in a systemic way. the poorest countries on earth were training insurance, financing, etc. we're really thinking everything through that we can dennis morgan climate and vote for the german government. thank you very much. aly heads for the pulls this coming weekend with an alliance of right wing parties to for victory. nationalists, leader, georgia, maloney is the front runner to become the next prime minister. popular center meant as expected to washer in the most right wing government. since the 2nd world war, oh, they are gearing up for a victim. tens of thousands have gathered here in rome and support of his self

described center. right coalition, former prime minister, silvio berlusconi, x interior minister, mature. so the and the rising star on the far right, georgia maloney have joint forces. maloney of the post fascist brothers of italy party looks like to become italy's next prime minister. campaigning on guard, family and homeland. there are fear she may roll back on civil rights and endanger democracy. people here see maloney's party as the answer to many problems. yet he seeks to safeguard national identity with an increasingly globalized world that is increasingly crisis from the point of view. okay, youngest, we believe that without her, our country will continue in a downward spiral that has been going on for a while and that is looking at it later. jam alone is right, is definitely not a radical right. it has a right that basically defends italy's interests and a non radical nationalist righty. die yes. her supporters want a strong leader and to night maloney renews her promise to take on the

establishment has frightened us. there are people who are afraid. friends of those who are in positions, they do not deserve just because they are members of the democratic party. it's good, they fear us. i. italians will be heading to the polls on sunday after a broad government coalition collapsed earlier the summer. the last government here in italy can be seen as a successful one in many ways managed to navigate part of the covert crisis and also saved elite a huge chunk of you recovery fund. but it was also a technical government supported by parties, both on the left and on the whites. and in the end, a lot of people simply didn't know what this government stood for. a difficult economic situation and the government's failure to spot has also disappointed a lot of folders, something that a large parts of the country, the center right, was able to use to their advantage. but there are also many a few of them. apollo again, i'm afraid that instead of implementing big changes, they will do smart, evil changes,

people like against minorities. homosexuals are poor. people and immigrants. winterly may get on the local google. it is it more, it's not like the opposition would be any better, but at least they would maintain some kind of democratic basis for the country. their music in italy, public opinion is divided between the left and the right. the reason the center right is so far ahead in the polls has to do with their strategy. the part is there are traditionally represent in people from the left did not run together. they didn't on managed to make a single coalition. is a result to this is the 1st important advantage by descent. the right the right has the attention of the entire country that they are setting the agenda. during the selection campaign, the democratic party, their largest rival on the left, has been left playing catch up, match a mold alanis at stake. why their social and economic models is at stake. fiscal proposals by the right that favor which people days i get the proposal for more presidential system and modifying the constitution. and i've also been fitted in

sally's normally fietta legacy. it's 0 on it. it is too early to tell what a far right government would mean for italy and europe. throughout the campaign, georgia maloney has sought to tone down her messages to convince moderate voters to vote for her. if this election rally as any indication, she may well have succeeded in band may get is covering italy's election for as he joins me now from wrong band. the polls predict a clear victory for the right. why the shift the decisions and the mood swings of italian voters are sometimes hard to predict. and also hard to calculate 4 years ago at the last elections, they voted for left wing populace. and now it's the other way around now that right being populous and even the right wing extremist will probably get the majorities, although the polls are also not very reliable. and the concerns are the same,

they italian, but as care. most of the economic situation, they protest inflation, they protest high energy prices, and now they're looking for somebody new, a new solution and you approach him. but they're not looking for a new ideology. they just want to protest against the establishment. so tell us more about george and allow nation what become the 1st ever female prime minister of italy, but also the 1st far right leaders, ins, miscellany. yeah, the 45 year olds are maloney would be the 1st female earned a prime minister here, but she would be also the 1st really right wing, right extremists, a prime minister. and she will lead a coalition of 3 right wing parties and she portrays herself now as a more moderate conservative woman based and christian values as she's against

immigration. and she's also against her rights for the edgy t b t q cove community. and so she's putting has, have gone, but she's cutting off her roots as opposed fascist or woman. she comes from an organization that you can attract to mussolini. also that she now says that that's gone as she has now a new approach and says she just wants to sacrifice her life now for the italians. and she's just a mere conservative. believe it or not, we will see. ah maloney is the fierce current of the n u as many of her peers and that of possibly upcoming coalition with her election put rome on collision course with brussels. yes, brussels is already up in arms today. the commission president over on the line said she has instruments and 2 disciplines. italy, if it goes wrong after the election, italy does not follow your european rules and maloney,

mrs. maloney on the others had said she will to fight for italian interests in brussels. harder than ever before. so there's a fight of brewing between room and brussels. that's for sure. family good and rome . thank you. and and sports roger federer us final competitive match is just minutes away. it sees him represent team europe alongside old rival ruffin. an adult in the liver cub double. federer enjoyed a rapturous reception as he was introduced to the capacity crown at london's. oh, to arena the 41 year old. swiss, who has $121.00 major titles, said that it would be the most beautiful thing to bow out by playing doubles with no doubt, team worlds, jack sock and frances to foe are looking to spoil federal party. and here in berlin its marathon weekend and the city is welcoming runners from over

150 countries. but coordinating the $45000.00 athletes is no easy task, and volunteers are worth their weight. in gold, dw spoke to one who has been a fixture of the marathon for more than 2 decades. these volunteers make the berlin marathon happen. close business is one of them. the 63 year old has been helping out for over 20 years and it is his job role. but to see that everything goes smoothly that everyone gets their bid number and that the people who help to ruin to your are fine. at the end of the day, all of this is voluntary losing one of 5000 volunteers. he run the marathon, him so 15 times. so he knows how to help. like last year, when a run, a told burs on, he couldn't run because he had caught a cold. i said, how about you help me on sunday at the suits done. and he came and he was happy.

thank be a bunch of times and is with us again this year last year, sedition was just half the size due to covered restrictions. and even though the marathon generates millions and tourism revenue, the city of burden doesn't support and financially organizers say. one more reason by volunteers are so important a to become we also hold our to the volunteer program which works with the volunteers for the whole year. because without them it wouldn't work. why would it wouldn't need it? and with volunteers hoping along the way people from all walks of life can compete in berlin. and let's check out some other sports stories, making headlines to day. the president of the international olympic committee to must buses, sports can help better the lives of refugees. both made the commons during a recent visit to jordan satari, refugee camp, or $76000.00 syrian refugees left. he says the i o c is working to make sure sports
