many as they chanted no to war and potion to the trenches. i asked the w, russia analyst, roman gun to ranko. what difference if any, this resistance could make? well, it's too early to tell such things mean me time to develop and it depends, you know, large balance of brushing society loyal to me for being a teacher for many. and now things are starting to change some parts of society. the fact that it's the biggest project you've seen in washer games, and it's a gamble. it's an experiment if you want. and no one knows how russian society and i would say, it depends on 2 factors. first, how things will develop on the front in ukraine. how the fighting will change or focusing or against him and how the situation in the russian economy will develop

the cause. with this model is ation. we are seeing a double blow economy. people, one needed companies and enterprises being mobilized and economies. and it is also under pressure by western sanctions, which are now developing their full effect. so i would say it is still an open question, but things are changing and open question and an experiment that the rest of the world is watching. will the annexation of the ukrainian regions via these fake referendums, likely turn the tide in favor? well, he believes it will. i have my doubts because well, of course it will give him an explanation to escalate in the coming weeks and months. he will say, this is roxanne territory. now we are eligible to use even deadly, a weapons bombs for you, right. i do not think that this will change a loss in this war because for the spring and resistance will continue despite of

using more managers for summer or heavier. and he's also trying to intimidate the west with this. he will say, look, we are ready to eat your grand even honda, so stop supplying weapons to bring nothing that is a roman gun to ranko many, many thanks. roman. meanwhile, russian installed officials are holding a 3rd day of so called referendums, across occupied regions of ukraine. the vote has been condemned by western countries as a sham, but russia is using it to lay the groundwork to next. the 4 regents. there are reports of residents being co worst into taking part at the un general assembly russian foreign minister survey love. rob said that if a next to the regions will be under russia's full protection, including its nuclear umbrella, got daughter agree, bloomer,

voters in italy are casting their ballots in an election that's expected to bring seismic change far right. candidate ga, maloney is forecast to top. the voting and become italy's most right wing leader since world war 2 and it's 1st female prime minister polling stations open this morning and voting will continue until about 11 p. m. local time. battalion politics have a reputation for instability with 73 governments in the last 76 years. if maloney, when c u. p in unions, 3rd largest economy would be in the hands of a euro sceptic nationalist government. gentlemen, let's bring in our corresponding julia at sal delhi in rome. julia, if the predictions are correct, italians will elect a far right government for the 1st time since the 2nd world war. why is that?

yes, an important point is looking at the party that is expected to come in the lead to be the 1st party in this vote for tele d'italia led by george maloney, is that this party was not in any of the governments in recent years. and given that there is a lot of this satisfaction in italy with most of the political parties that have been involved in any of the coalition governments in the last few years. maloney as seen as someone fresh, an outsider is someone who can bring a new momentum and actually bring change. so it's a lot of dissatisfaction that is a driving this vote towards maloney. and on the other hand i, italy is traditionally a conservative country. there is always been conservative parties, garnering a lot of votes, and even though maloney's party it's roots are in a neo fascist parties, maloney has tried to clean up her image, make herself look like her, a moderate conservative,

and that makes her more appealing to voters who are certainly on the right, but more moderate and who wouldn't vote for someone who is more radical and that is drawing votes to her party and her coalition. julie, i'm curious, some observers are predicting a low turnout today. can you tell us more about the speaking again? about that dissatisfaction, a lot of voters in italy are upset and disappointed in the political class in general, not just with some specific parties. and that is a driving what was seen in the last pause before the or the vote today that a lot of people are just not going to go. vote is expected that up to 35 percent of voters might not go to the polls and that would be the highest level of a people not going to vote since world war 2. now, preliminary data shows that up until now, the voting rate is similar to the one of the last election in 2018. so there might

be a surprise there. but certainly this satisfaction is playing a role in this factor to. and i spoke to voters earlier outside of pulling station, so let's hear what they had to say because i have a totally that or this. i don't like what the right plans to do if they win. but most importantly, i don't think they're fit to government offering it avo chris at point and that the good the most to answer the said, oh i would like maloney to prove that she is up for the challenge. i said about it . we're living in difficult times, though. this is probably the hardest possible time for her to start with the but surprises are always welcome. lisa prism, manuel said, am i been talking to my job? what is that? yeah, i think most italians are very aware that whoever they choose to be in government among won't really change anything. when i come, you also submitted a course family joy,

and i hope young people will see an improvement. this is the point samara. we've managed more or less, but now it's really hard for our youth. i hope things change for the better. also in may, you truly, how do you see other european countries responding to the reality of a far right? prime minister in italy? well, other european countries and the european institutions like the commission, are worried, they're worried that it a italy and important country in europe might change its stance on issues that are important for you in other european countries. for example, ex, it's stance on russia and sanctions against russia. but also that italy might openly support a government that tend to be a liberal like in poland and hungary. and that italy itself might take a more liberal course with the far right government and power. here julia sel. deli in rome, many thanks. some sports now and

a world record here in berlin to start this year's marathon season. elliot could show gay of kenya broke the record at the berlin marathon, kept jo gay entered the race, asked her favorite, in part because he set the previous world record on the streets of berlin. in 2018, he followed a trio of pacesetters through the 1st 25 kilometers before running by himself for the last 3rd, and beating the mark by 30 seconds. not too far back in the women's race. if you persist, teague is a safe up beat. her own personal best by 18 minutes to when kyle mckinnon of d. w. sports is with me now to talk about the world record in kyla have to tell you, i'm a huge athletics fan. and so i know that i often hear about world records, but very rarely in the marathon. indeed, it's not the glamor sport that the 100 meters is, for example. but if you've run a 5 k, a 10 k, a half marathon a marathon, you know that this is

a pretty significant moment and you know, what kind of piece is required to make this happen to, to run as fast as he does as l. you'd could choke it does and kilometer after kilometer, after kilometer miles mile, it is completely crazy. he has pace setters, actually guys who are basically given a job going out there and, and pushing him pushing and pushing him. but those guys fall off at 2025 k. and then the guys that were trying to finish the race and beat him. they can't, they give way. they gave way, shortly after that $25.00 k, because he picked up the pace there and went faster and started and went faster and faster and was looking frankly, he's looking to break a 2 hour world record to our mark, which he's done before on a certain kind of track with my pace setters in the like, which wasn't regarded as an official time, but he wants to do that in the real race. and that may happen sometime, maybe in berlin because it's a fast track. it's a fast pace, it's flat here,

and that's why $45000.00 people for one thing, love to come here and, and run it. 157 countries represented. this is a place to set records. extraordinary a little perspective, your help good is co chill guy. he is clearly the best ever. you know? no question about it. he's 115 of 17 marathons. now that he's entered, he's 12 gold medals. he's the guy people are looking for to represent their sportswear company for one thing and he's also got his own line of shoes that have propelled him. are tough to run and actually the 1st time. but they help propel him a little bit and give him a little bit of an edge. but other other runners have taken on to the shoes as well . anyway, he's certainly the best and will long live. he's 37 years old, but it continuing to break records and will certainly undoubtedly break it again. shoes are not. this man certainly likes running in berlin. he has a place to do it. that's house which round up a reminder of the top news story at this hour as moscow called up reservists to

fight in ukraine. ukrainian president vladimir lensky is offering them good treatment and a safe haven if they surrender russian opposition to the mobilization isn't backing down. with hundreds more protesters being arrested this weekend. doc film is up next with a look at india's path to becoming a global power. i'm michael ok in berlin. i'll be back with more news in 45 minutes . you're watching d w a vibrant habitat ended glistening place of long the mediterranean sea scene of muster. and so far, abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and the editor.
