on d, w. o o noon, ah, the sustainable news log from berlin, russia stages annexation votes and occupied regions of ukraine. western powers slammed the so called referendums as a shaft. they say russia will fix the outcome to justify swallowing up 15 percent of ukraine's territory. also on the program runs, president vows to investigate the death of a woman after being arrested by the morality police. but that then little to quell public outrage as protest turned into an open challenge against the government.

oh, italy had for weekend elections with a right wing alliance tip for victory. far right leader george, i'm bologna, is the front runner to become the next prime minister. ah, i'm the cough relief to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states and around the world, welcome. authorities installed by russia and occupied parts of ukraine are holding what they call referendums on joining russia. pulling has begun despite world wide condemnation and a warning from the un chief that the results will not be recognized. ballots are being collected in the regions of her son supple radia, who hans and don yeske anerio making up about 15 percent of the ukranian territory

. as voting continues, keith says it has recaptured more ground in its continuing counter offensive. the voting is expected to last several days and results in the regions annexation by moscow. ukraine and western government say they will reject the outcome vote organizers and don yet is making house calls, bringing the ballot boxes straight to the people. amid the backdrop of war, residents are being asked to vote on joining the russian federation. ease. of course, it's important. we were wondering when we would join russia and life will be comma this so called referendums are being held over 5 days. russian news outlets say most of the voting will take place door to door. kremlin installed leaders in the regions have been preparing for months signing up residence as russian citizens in

lieu hans some see the vote as a way out of war and deprivation long regular lives. i think the referendum will be for the best, would be worthy of that. that yeah, that there will be water and electricity. the people will feel like they are on day native man to devote severe chills to what mattered noisy malea. but for those who fled to ukrainian held parts of upper regia, the votes are a sham. well, but though it's a violation of international law, it's a fake task to show that occupied territories want to join the russian federation, which is a total lie once the so called referendums are completed, moscow could then claim that its own territory is under attack with weapons provided by the west. meanwhile, in russia, a long queues persist at borders and flights to foreign destinations are sold out.

lottery putin's conscription drive to bolster his forces in ukraine as being met with resistance. when 1300 people have been arrested at nationwide protests and many men of draft age are leaving the country while they can. touching down in istanbul, just a day off to russia, announced a military draft. flight prices have skyrocketed as more and more people flee to avoid being colds to serve in ukraine. in turkey, arriving russian passengers don't require a visa for entry, making it a top destination. you should get even more this in the serious. anyone could be drafted. what i'm you for that reason people us get and you go it out for now the draft papers are being sent to specific people with the new video, but i don't believe that was good if soon they will expand to more people. and that's scary because we don't know who will be next. i thought she's thrashed with

them. something is i a shift over the visit with the demand for one way flights out of russia is surging flights to turkey, serbia, as well as armenia and azerbaijan have entirely sold out reports of a mass. exodus of young men have been downplayed by the kremlin, which claims the situation is exaggerated. but some of those arriving in turkey, se the fear of conscription, israel, this passenger requested to stay anonymous, fearing reprisals back home and use the la. yeah, of course i'm horrified. i could be drafted, did oh yeah. i feel like everything inside me has been replaced by panic. i knew great. i came down at 1st. but when i thought about what i was going to do, i started panicking again for yourself. i'm scared and fearful because i don't know what will happen next. at the land border with finland, choose to leave the country also increasing. finland is russia's last remaining, e,

you neighbor, that still allows the entry of russian shang and visa holders. but with finland, considering whether to limit or band, the entry of russian tourists and flights out of moscow becoming unavailable. those who wished to leave a running out of options. maria was yet so via the spokeswoman for over the info and independent and jail monitoring political persecution and russia with more russians protesting the draft or leaving the country. i asked her if she saw the mood and rush as shifting. yeah, we can dog world mission now is to change the search and because for many yes and the demons between russian sites that are not going to reinforce my life for people and emissions on the phone of 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 on the specially joined process numbers for the protests we are seeing though are mostly taking place in the bigger cities and moscow and st. petersburg. how big is the send really in the rest of the country? it's difficult to say for high slumbers. bob, the richest place, if you the conference in more than 4 to russia. so it's not just about going back. it's also about central russia in your latest report with obedience. so 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? i thought holy 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 some people detained at bras in st. petersburg example, they got a rush of 8 asked the process. we'd have never seen the number of people being broadcast for the time. and it's all the people who run through the offices abroad found guilty of it would go for 10. it's also a shame and i was a, was the unique is not police. it's often late call in progress. there's 3 1st and 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 putin's effort to, to bolster troops. i so please now a lot of people are flames. a bunch of for example, i have a boss process and people live in count directly with what's happening. but it can audibly show you that be in russian society may be pumping the ward or just now live in works in my mom's and i would say probably a huge impact, but i think it's really important people try, you know, not goal of war. and just shows russian to those who look depression, who do not agree with the war, maria, because the silva of the info,

thanks for your time. and all this information in killed, 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 retaken in that counter offensive was coop yachts in the harkey region to w. w. correspond and nick connelly visited the town and sent us this report. russia is here to stay. that was the slogan. just a matter of weeks ago, hearing 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 it's artillery every few minutes. just a few kilometers away. even before the shilling stops, graham prosecutors of fine coming. what remains of this police station where russian troops had their base looking for evidence of potential war crimes, love of which of those will of miss of a new blood. so 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 good. i'm with keep what we're looking for. dna traces mother should fingerprints search little bit and also documents model. i'm 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. that's in 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 up with the helicopter. we hope ahead was not ukrainian, as everyone around us assumed it was russian. ah, who had to come in now in a hurry move away from my windows, but i think that could be destroyed, could explode,

and allow way to see what's happening. this is the route to here in front lines. this is tara to is controlled by ukraine. you but they're still cancelled threat of russian cohesion and there's no cynthia that life was returning to normal in any sense to work many locals. life is actually getting harder in practical terms. recent shelling this scene lose 1st power than running water. and now guess yeah, yeah, we've nowhere to go. our parents are gone and the situation isn't much better where my sister is in the hard key for as long as our apartment block is still standing will stay, but it's not heating or water. the people here miss most, it's mobile phone coverage. hottest thing ludmilla tells us is not being able to check up on family. come on, that is correct this year sometimes service comes back long enough to say a couple of words to each other. pick it up, but you end up crying together more than ashley speaking. yeah. what is up fox? my husband has 2 kids and hi have we have no idea how they're doing. a

fiddle with ukrainian officials promised phone service me back in a matter of days. although they called promised though, is anything resembling a life as it was before february 24th. and the russian invasion. a few hours of to relieve coupons. news comes through a 4 adults and a teenager wounded and yet more shilling. and here's a look at a few other stories making headlines at this hour. an official inquiry by the un has confirmed russian war crimes in ukraine, experts documented executions, torture and sexual violence. victims range in age from 4 to 82 years old investigation focused on the initial phase of russia's invasion and on the regions of keith tourney. har keith and sumi hurricane fiona has hit bermuda with heavy rains and winds, with minor damage reported in the capital. hamilton, the storm had already battered several caribbean islands this week,

a wave of violin to anti government protests throughout iran. ah, 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 meanie sparked these pro tests. 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. harvey iranian protestors want the current leadership to go. the state is fighting back hard. there are reports of security forces firing, metal 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. the rainy and leadership's attempt to quell the anger has so far been unsuccessful. that avenue enforced that i contacted her family, the family of the deceased at the very 1st opportunity. and i showed 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 colony attire is the head of the middle east office of germany's broadcast her today. as she told us more about the dangerous protesters are facing interim it is

very indeed, and we're actually in right now getting less news getting less years. because if the internet located because services are slow or blocked. but the put us ongoing in over 35 cities according to protest, which is inside the country. we are seeing a lot of injured people, especially in the west of the country, some parts in the west of the country where, you know, i mean the, or matter. i mean, he was born according to eye witnesses resemble a war zone. we're seeing how to house arrests, even security offices coming into the house. why? of the balconies. we are seeing a policeman. even even beating protesters who are hiding inside the car, speeding them with patterns. and we're seeing a continuous wave of arrests, arrests of all people who have been guiding the protest this arrest

journalists, arrests of activists, arrested photographers. what is the protagonist of my book? has actually just wrote that her sister got arrested. and another protagonist who lives in the northeast of the country and masha has been arrested 2 days ago. so this is ongoing. i was golden at i middle east correspondence for the german public broadcasters, set the f. 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. and germany's climate envoy. jennifer morgan is out the united nations assembly this week where she spoke to d. w correspondent mikaela christina. the 1st topic was global climate justice in the light of germany heading back 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've passed the largest bill through our parliament and 40 years for that. we're having to do short term measures to ensure the well being of our people in the winters. 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 in the, in the future. that fossil fuels actually are not the way forward. now you've also token to talk to the industrialized nations who actually made their wealth through fossil fuel emissions. and now the costs of being paid by particular, those in poor countries is, is there some kind of guarantee? what can you tell 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 burbock 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 a in a systemic way, the poorest countries on north retraining insurance, financing, et cetera. we're really thinking everything through that we can, didn't morgan climate and vote for the german government. thank you very much. italy heads for the poles. this coming weekend with an alliance of riding parties, tip for victory, nationalist leader george maloney is a front runner to become the next prime minister. popular

a sentiment is expected to usher and the most right when 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. ga 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 fears she may roll back on civil rights and endanger democracy. people here see maloney's party as the answer to many problems. jessica seeks to safeguard our national identity with an increasingly globalized world that is increasingly crisis from the point of view. okay, again, if 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 right. he die yap. 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 italy, a huge chunk of you recovery fun. but it was also a technical government support of our parties, both on the left and on the right. 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 respond has also disappointed

a lot of something that a large ports of the country, the center right, was able to use to their advantage. but there are also many a few of them are polled. again, i'm afraid that instead of implementing big changes, they will do small, evil changes. people like against minorities, homosexuals are poor people and immigrants, scantily may get audio local wiggles. good. 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. ma'am. your visa 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 representing people from the left did not run together. they didn't on managed to make a single coalition. is the result that 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 other than the democratic party. their largest rival on the left has been live playing catch up, match, mold alanis at stake. why their social and economic model is at stake. fiscal proposals by the right, that favor which people, if i get the proposal for more presidential system and modifying the constitution. and i've also been president said he is normally forgot her legacy itsyana. it is too early to tell what a far right government would mean for italy and europe. throughout the campaign, george 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 half succeed. ah and then is roger federer's, final competitive match is just minutes away and see them representing europe alongside old rivalry found the doll and the labor cup doubles. federer enjoyed a rapturous reception as he was introduced to the capacity crowd at london's

o. 2 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 nadal. team worlds, jack sock, and frances to foe are looking to spoil federal parties. and here in berlin, it's marathon weekend, and the city as welcoming runners found over 150 countries. but coordinating the 45000 athletes is no easy task, and volunteers are worth their weight in gold. d, w spoke to one 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 was all the fun 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 ran the marathon him so 15 times so he knows how to help mike last year when a run on told burs on, he couldn't run because he had caught a cold. i said how about you help me on sunday at the suit stunned. and he came and he was happy on 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 organize a se. one more reason by volunteers are so important about want to become. we also are to the volunteer program which works with the volunteers for the whole year, because without them it wouldn't work again. why this would, it wouldn't be the and with volunteers helping along the way. people from all walks

of life can compete in berlin. and reminder of the top story we're following for you today. voting has begun and occupied eastern ukraine in so called referendums on joining russia. the votes organized by russian control authorities continue into next week. several regions could then be annexed by moscow. the west has condemned them as sham ballots. and that's your news roundup. but stay tuned after the break . i'll be back to take you through the day with with

for responsibility is huge. they have so much to lose. ah, shattering the glass ceiling. women in architecture dismiss has to be really, really good story, september 30th on d. w. if it's with vladimir putin stained juris, new show has begun going door to door. russian proxies and even armed soldiers are asking residents of 4 occupied ukrainian territories to boat and sham referendums on whether they want to become part of russia. the outcome is foreseeable but isn't is what will come next. how will the kremlin respond to ukrainian attempts to regain control over annexed regions and.
