where they're expected to take a hard right, turn and elect the most right when government, since world war 2 plus a new marson world record right here in berlin. l you would keep chill, guy breaks his own record time set at the very same event. we'll discuss just how remarkable the canyons achievement is ah, i'm pablo foley, as welcome to the program. ukrainian president of a loud, amir zalinski says rushes rushed to mobilize. hundreds of thousands of reservists for the war is an acknowledgement that its army is unable to fight. the kremlin has also increased the penalties for any one refusing to fight, but that hasn't stopped a wave of russians fling the country to escape the draft, while others have stay to protest. the war. jacob lease video,

released by russia's defense ministry, purportedly shows newly activated, russian reservists being issued weapons, thousands have been called up to serve in russians. war ukrainian, president flood amid zalinski, released a message in russian for the draft ease, voluntarily surrender, and you will not be mistreated. and if you don't want to return to russia, you don't have to miss it by these old not accepting a draft notice is better than dying of a war. criminal on foreign land like running from this criminal mobilization is better than being crippled as an answering in court for participating in this aggression on top of it. that surrendering to ukrainian captivity is better than falling under the strikes of our weapons. entirely just strikes because ukraine is defending itself in this war. delaney of sheesh. vladimir putin, meanwhile, has signed a decree,

toughening sentences for those who voluntarily surrender by up to 10 years in prison, desertion, and refusal to fight carry similar penalties as moscow. swiftly drafts new recruits. it's also making changes to its top military leadership. the general in charge of russia's logistics operation in ukraine has been replaced. but the mobilization order has faced strong opposition within russia. from st. petersburg to siberia russians again took to the streets in moscow, one protest i turned up in a wheelchair, holding a sign saying, do you want to be like me? to lace reportedly detained almost a 1000 protesters on saturday. many as they chanted, no to war and putin to the trenches. so are these

protests and the people escaping the country? going to have any effect on putin's mobilization drive? i asked, are russia and list roman gone to ranko? well yes it is having an effect already. the mobilization is not running according to and the longer it asked, the bigger the problems are, and even i'm high ranking russian officials are criticizing how those issues is being done. the frustration and the society is growing. we see that, but we shouldn't overestimate those pictures of those cues at the borders under people protesting in the streets. it's still a minority, and most of the people are just fulfilling the orders just get on the bus and being driven to, to, to the front line or to, to the training centers and then they will join the war. so majority of russians did mobilized now will join the war. but the situation is very volatile. we cannot

make any predictions how it will be in a month or 2. and so it is, it is a problem. it is a problem already, but still i would like to repeated. most russians fulfill the orders. all right, well, let's actually talk about the reserves, who are actually answering the call. are the soldier is going to make any difference on the battlefield in ukraine? well, it is a difficult question. i think we have to split it. it is possible that they do what they are supposed to do is to stabilize the frontline, which was what president putin said. he said, and he's a mobilization speech that the frontline is over 1000 kilometers long and the situation needs to be stabilized. if that's the purpose. yes, they could. but if the purpose is to advance to attack, to occupy a new territories of ukraine, which i think is the purpose number 2. problems could arise because these mobilized

soldiers are not very well trained. they will need a lot of time to get them to get proper equipment, cuz winter's coming, it will be very cold. and we have seen that russia has some problems with heavy heavy armors. and in general, i would say the big of the army, the bigger problems and putting some is getting bigger now. so the problems will also it will be getting bigger thanks from from and gone to. ranko dw is russia analyst, 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 poles and become at least most right wing leader. since world war 2 and its 1st female prime minister, italians have until 11 pm local time to cast their ballots. italian politics has a reputation for instability. with 73 governments in the last 76 years. if maloney

wins, the european union's 3rd largest economy would be in the hands of a hero, skeptic. nationalist government. all right, well for more we can speak tara to dr. mateo. gov all. yeah, we search associate at the center for international studies at the university of oxford in the u. k. welcome to dw. so what are the issues driving this election and why are voters looking to georgia maloney's party and other right wing parties for answers? the key issue with this election is the cost of living is inflation. italians can afford painter bills and the one solutions and wanted to pass the think i'm you told me to be exceedingly disappointed with their political class for a very long time. enders absolutely 0 public trusts implications within this context. i think he told us will not be voting for georgia, maloney brothers of italy in itself. rodder. they will simply be trying to boat for

the only party that hasn't been in government yet. they're looking for something you've done this before, we start movement and they're doing this now. we've been on this project so badly. alright, well, italian politics is notoriously unstable. 73 governments and 76 years as i mentioned before. but if maloney managers to actually form a government coaching break that trend of instability, do you think instability in italy do do many reasons for it are very long term historical trends. aly never managed to, to turn into mature, don't democracy, to the funding. you would expect in, in north european countries, partly due to the very specific called could you pay for all of the cold war conference call system. their cultural issues. both citizens expect very little petitions and bar when it comes to ethics and public life is set exceedingly low. and then you have political fragmentation. we could expect

possibly there even up to 11 political parties. they could enter parliament dictum around, and very often it is enough for very small party to withdraw support for government to collapse. right, well let's look and i was sort of at the sort of more international picture this, this election is being watched with that with some concern in brussels. so one of the candidates been saying about italy's relationship with the european union and what would a far right, populous victory actually mean for the european union. but the centre left him a credit card. he has traditionally been extremely pro pro european and it has failed to do to be so this time around as well. then you, the 5 are movement published party debt. however, over time tune down in europe in rhetoric and came to play a slightly more constructive role. and then you had interest in the throw these electoral campaign and the 3 key parties on the right, super loose, connie and toddler, mother of beneath, lager, and ga,

maloney's broaders of italy. they have for their own founders, refrain from talking brussels and european institutions to some extent and been trying to present themselves as slightly more europe friendly for their own standard. however, their track record is extremely and he repeat and they're viewed with extraordinary suspicion to steal to the stay in brussels. dr. mateo got to have all yeah, thank you for joining us on d. w. as the sports now and a world record here in berlin to start this year's marathon season l, you had kept choke of canyon broke the record at the berlin martha and kept okay entered the race as the favorite in part because he set the previous world record on the streets of berlin, back in 2018. and we followed a trio of pay setters through the 1st 25 kilometers before running by himself for
