ah, ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, rusty weapons, and little training for the fronts. we report on how moscow is sending its newly mobilized soldiers into battle as more signs emerge that russia is now on the back . so it's in ukraine. and this message for monday shows the moment to man and t

narrowly escaped a barrage of russian asterix. he tells our correspondent what that day was like for him and how it's changed. his outlook on life also coming up donald trump has something to give evidence about the storming of the u. s. capital. we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. lawmakers vote unanimously to call the form of president to testify to the congressional inquiry. ah my manuscript, mckinnon. thank you for being with us. just weeks after russian president vladimir putin announced what he described as a partial military mobilization near recruits. on our arriving on the frontlines in ukraine, but how well eclipse are these conscripts to sites ukraine's forces,

which appear to be continuing their advance through russia's front lines. he w killian by reports that while moscow may be able to enlist hundreds of thousands of civilians, it doesn't seem able to meet even their most basic needs. room, rusty weapons, and squalid conditionals loosely sher issue or the other person's leg. these are just some of the images that have been circulating on russian social media and telegram charts, showing the things that mobilized russian men are having to deal with a champ on. do you know what it is for? you stick it in a book and it expands and stops the bleeding. hard to be done. what's the, i'm get these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residents bringing supplies to a military base. and over subarus moscow's mobilization efforts are not going to

plan. soldiers are missing sleeping bags, food and medical equipment. we found groups on russian social media where relatives of russian soldiers are sharing pictures of the equipment they are sending to the front. we reached out to russian soldiers, but couldn't get any to appear on camera for an interview. when asked why they were going to war, one of them replied, i'm not looking into the causes of this war. if i was mobilized, it means that my motherland needs me. i am a simple soldier. the question why and what for is not my responsibility. russian lawyer maxwell yoni chief, says, social conditioning like this dates back to soviet times and as part of the problem . and he, indiana, the majority of russian people are not ready to go to war it, but there's

a willingness to rely on the government's decisions. it because there's a belief that authorities know better functioning, the people don't think critically. first, they don't understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder looked at. what did you wish? ha, ha! it's been 3 weeks since russian president putin announced a partial mobilization since then, hundreds of thousands more russian families have been drawn into the war. the report was by dw killian dia, he joins us now from riga in latvia, and that's where dutch velez is currently reporting from about russ russia. after i mostly bureau was shut down earlier this year by the russian government. good morning, killian. it doesn't look like the russian mobilization is going to well, tell us why. well, that was to be expected, really. and many of military experts aren't necessarily surprised. you see it in

the mid to thousands, russia, the russian army transitioned from the kind of 20th century soviet style army and try to change to a more modern western orientated army now. and they have, they have this in this process. they disbanded quite a few of their structures that are really needed to handle this many soldiers. and the russian army was, it was shrunken down. and we have seen now that a lot of these soldiers have been killed in ukraine. the most recent report saying around 90000 russian soldiers aren't available anymore, either have been killed, injured, captured, or have gone missing, gone absent. and so they have been forced to change back to this kind of old fashioned soviet style army. and in this process, the mobilization of course, was not going so well because the structures are just missing. so this was kind of to be expected. i think the more interesting, the more pressing question really is,

you know, what does this mean for the russian public? and so let's have a listen to what people and moscow are saying about this mobilization. i think is turbulent times. frankly speaking, the mood is that you have to defend your homeland threaten another decision. i would go myself but already too old in over. sure, i don't think mobilization is very good story. there's so much to protect our country, frank. no, sir. i don't see any danger for our country yet. yet no more. i think you need to protect your country. rooster loses should kill in the opinions we just heard that . would you say that that representative of the russian population lassitude? well, it's very difficult for us to say, you know, what really is representative because of course, russia is a police state and it's gotten extremely dangerous to, to, to criticize the, the war and ukraine. but what we can say is that hundreds of thousands of russians

left when the war began in february, and since the mobilization started another, up to 700000 according to some reports have left the country. so this really leaves left in russia. it means that you mostly have people that are either for the war or maybe somewhere in the middle. those who are opposing the war are probably either staying because they have no option to leave the country or because they can't afford it or because they have to take care of family members. so i think in these sounds that we heard from moscow were probably, yeah, quite, quite to be expected. now, president pearson has just appointed a new general survey service, sir a v can. he's now leading the war in the ukraine. his nickname is apparently general armageddon. can you tell us how he is changing things? well, general sig, a sort of vixen is kind of known for his brutality and the russian ministry of

defense. he was seen as a bone that put him through the hard liners in light of the recent military setbacks that the russian army has faced. many were calling for harsher method measures. now, so vicky is known for the soviet who in 1991 in 1991 were soldiers under his command killed 3 protesters. he fought in the 2nd chechen war and he led the russian forces in syria in syria, the russian army. it was known for its brutality against civilians and a sort of licking kind of was seen as one of the, the people who was responsible for this m. and so we can also probably say that the recent attacks that we've seen in retaliation of the crimea bridge attack bearer a quite a lot of soil bekins handwriting, killing bi reporting from reagan. thank you. now russia has

announced that it will evacuate that her son region of ukraine raising fears that the city will become a front line. ukrainian forces have retaken much of the russian occupied region that russia is now urging civilians to leave her son. moscow claims that ukraine is attacking its own civilians with missiles strikes. meanwhile wreath waltzing their own front lines in the area and forcing ukrainian soldiers to slow their advances. and now to a tale of survival from russia's barge of ass strikes on keith. earlier this week, you may remember seeing images of this glass, pedestrian bridge, a tv landmark, and of the blast that nearly destroyed it. a correspondent, mateus burling, a mess up with a man who was on that bridge at the exact moment of the blast, and who had a narrow escape. every morning before work,

my high lupita takes a walk, so keeps riverside parks across a scenic loss bridge. going to few years ago last monday was no exception. it was an extraordinary beautiful autumn day. course. i was standing on that balcony over there yesterday of it was 18 minutes past 8 in the morning. that was the date routine launched more than 80 misses at ukraine surveillance cameras court. the moment the high low was lucky wonderful is yes. that was standing at the other side of the bridge. opposite explosion near that bench over and the pressure away from the explosion went underneath the rocket. he just next to the bridge on the walkway in the park.

3 days later, the greater the rocket left has already been filled in. workers are repairing the rest of the damage. the bridge is slightly damaged and closed off to the public. the no. hey man, you're famous. the video of him on the bridge when via the gradient view reported. wish you a guardian angel harness as he has recovered wealth in the shop. little thought vincent just the start of value lash more. he understand that you need to live every day to its fullest and not to put things off until later. they declared that in the 4th year him, sir. oh, but a boy just

after the bloss, he went to his office like any other day. you're watching d. w. news still to come to the panel investigating the january. the 2nd attack on the u. s. capital votes to subpoena donald trump. testimony, how likely is the form of presidents to comply. and we look at the increasingly hard line tactics being used by police in iran to crush antique government events. we're going to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. flash floods have swamped hundreds of homes in australia's south east. some parts of the country have received more than 3 times the average october rainfall in just 24 hours. hundreds of families have been ordered to evacuate as more rain is forecast in the coming weeks. turkeys parliament has passed a controversial media law,

and now the panel wants to find out what role trump plate. he must be accountable and is hereby directed the vote was unanimous. former us president donald trump is to provide documents and testify under oath here in connection with a capital riot capital we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion. and every american is entitled to those answers. so we can act now to protect our republic. ah, on january 6th, 2021. following trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential election, a mob of his supporters attacked the capital, forcing lawmakers into hiding new video footage, released by the committee, shows how speaker nancy pelosi sheltering with leaders from both parties and

following the cares on television. with your own is on the board, they just breaking windows. you're doing all kinds of it's really somebody they said somebody was shy, it's just was just horrendous administration. donald trump mocked the committee on his social media website. happens in the future. the committee is a total bust that has only served to further divide our country, which by the way, is doing very badly a laughing stock all over the world. trump is expected to challenge the subpoena in the courts. a process that is certain to extend beyond the life of the special committee set to end this year. now winter is rapidly approaching in india and would be called a month's comes the smog season in delhi, every year, a toxic cocktail, a vehicle fumes, industrial emissions,

and smoke from garbage and cropped burning descends on the capital. the government is redoubling its efforts to deal with the smog, but many residents who can afford it. simply move out of the city. at the bucher of allah village, located in the border area of tele loses, you come up with one of its residents. sir george conwell, if teaching women how to use an e, q i, or an air quality index monitor. she was trained in using the monitor by an engineer which specializes in empowering women in poor communities called mailer housing trust. now a member of the n g o, she has been named the e q i, ambassador of her neighbourhood. many women who live here work as vegetable vendors on the streets or as laborers at construction sites. and they are all impacted by the cities, winter pollution levels. remember, the solution in delhi is getting worse with get your become especially bad in the

past 4 to 5 years. many people develop health problems. i myself find it difficult to breathe and my eyes burned on it. i don't step out of the house aware that the area where she lives frequently gets neglected by the authorities. so raj is trying to train those around her to take matters in their own hands. she's showing them how to use a daily government, apt to file a complaint about the illegal dumping, of least in their neighborhood, to perform the trash is often set on fire. adding greatly to the pollution delhi bears the brunt of silvia and hazardous e q. i. levels every winter season, pushing the city into taking new measures. the delhi government has come up with a 15 point winter action plan, which includes setting up a team of volunteers to raise awareness. does mitigation prevention of open burning of beef and enforcing measures already in place with respect to regular emissions. while experts say that the they're all welcomed steps. the ad that there needs to

be more focus on enforcement on the ground and citizen engagement. as part of the action plan, a green wall rule has also been setter by the state and wyman ministry, comprising of experts, scientists, and engineers. their task is to monitor real time e q i data pollution hotspots in the city and instruct relevant departments to take action. the complaints and requests filed on the daily green app. the one that said was used are also looked at here, sitting here, the government will be able to bell right now. where does the pollution coming from? is it coming from where he goods? is it coming from parks? is it coming from 2 wheeler's 3 wheelers, or is it coming from burning of garbage? so this will help us this winter, big even more concrete actions, the roach and the women in her neighborhood. definitely want action taken. beautiful or not is there needs to be a lot more awareness and action on the ground. often these measures are limited to just people are becoming the sort of cali cogs on real gamble. but you said or talk

to the training will help everyone take their own personal preventive measures to protect themselves from the harm the winter pollution can course. in the meantime, they're all breathing themselves for the change of weather is a look at some other global headlines. a u. s. jury has refused to sentence a florida school shooter to death despite please from the families of his victims. nicholas cruz was imprisoned for life for murdering 17 students and staff at high school in parkland massacre inspired a wave of gun control activism and the u. s. slovak presidents is annette. chapel tova has paid a visit to the gay bar where 2 men were shot dead on wednesday, a prosecutor said the victims were targeted for their sexual orientation. police said they found the 19 year old murder suspect dead after an overnight search.

as security forces in iran have again fired on antique government, protested after a crackdown on demonstrations failed to deter thousands from taking to the streets . the death of a young woman held by aaron's morales, he police, his self weeks of unrest since then protests have grown an anal taking aim at the leadership of the islamic republic and its repressive policies. ah, gun shops, outside of shopping center, the hud of the head on police ammunition dispersed a group of demonstrators. some were isolated and arrested. also into head on pauses by try in vain to protect a young demonstrator who was facing an arrest. police pull him to the ground, threatening his help as with pointed weapons. regardless of the risks, the protest against the law, mac leadership in iran, are continuing. according to reports, protests took place in at least 19 cities in iran on wednesday. the repeated chance

death to the dictator protests are said to be particularly violent in the province of kurdistan. eye witness said, police and militia were targeting demonstrators with life, ammunition activists reported for dest. tuesday night alone. this would raise the number of victims to more than 200 among them 20 children and young people. iranian president abraham bracy at a conference and calls austin with russian president putin and turkish president ed dawn repeated. the official narrative. just guide us over the protests are being controlled by foreign countries in arch got appear, nor call me him. since the americans have failed with their policy of sanctioned and militarization nash, washington and his allies are no resorting to a policy of destabilization on him. all the arrange. a disarray has announced even harsher punishment against demonstrators. thousands are set to have already been detained without legal assistance. lawyers who are protesting against this and take it onward, dispersed with tear gas. at least 4 of them were arrested. and

more on this we can bring in rudy ensign. she holds the human rights chair for the free democrats in the german bonus tag. welcome to the w, miss jensen. your policy has always positioned itself as a supporter of human rights worldwide. but germany's government of which party is of course, a member is now being criticized by iranians in germany for not doing enough to support human rights in iran. are they right? first of all, thank you for having the i think we have to reiterate that this courage of the women and the brave men in the wrong currency. protesting needs to be over and over repeated. and we need to give them a voice at what we can do. and i think that this criticism is, and that's right, definitely we need to move forward on your level. and if on a new level you sanctions can not be applied because certain countries you might

not come forward, we need a coalition of one thing of willing countries who need to move forward with that. and i think this is overdue. now european foreign ministers are expected to approve a new set of sanctions against iran on monday. is it right that you think europe has been too soft on iran? so fun and more importantly, what kind of functions would you like to see now? sanctions that could make an actual difference. 3 i think it is a good sign that on monday sanctions are being announced. i hope that this will go through sanctions need to target those in iran who are responsible for those growth human rights violations. and i think this is a challenge for us because sanctions can also, if they're not applied right to the target population, we don't want that. we need

a set previous. we need the sub bands and we need swiftly because iran is facing a revolution as, as we see on the footage that gets rarer, rarer because internet access is going down. so these pictures that we see need to focus ourselves on applying sanctions to the regime. and i think 11 further thing is that we need to, we need to work on vpn channels. we need to work on the fact that the population need to communicate with each other but also with the world. and that is something that we also need to talk with our allies in the world, not only on a new level, but together with the united states, with canada, with australia. and i think this is this alliance of democracies that we need in the world when human rights violations in,

in countries like iran are happening. miss johnson, can i ask you about the letter that you initiated on behalf of your policy, to the iranian bassett in berlin. calling on him to demand that end to the violence against protest is in iran, and calling for an end to the hid job law in the country. how much real change do you think you can achieve without letter? i made it very clear that a letter will not change or, and he jump law or the use violation of human rights by the regime. but i think we can also show that in germany, being critic, even with another country, is something we need to also reiterate to the current regime. and the way that we can do that as parliamentarians is on the one hand side supporting or we can support protesters,

we can support this publicity for this revolution and iran. but on the other hand, we can also protest by sending us and this is the diplomatic way of behavior. let's say that way to write this letter and to send with a way that iranian regime is currently working against so population. and that's why we're, we're very, we're not, but i think this letter was also a part of the defense that among german parliamentary and it's growing by the dns and from the free democrats in the german bundis talk. thank you so much for your time today. thank you. and his reminder of the top story with following for you. russia has begun sending its newly mobilized soldiers into battle in ukraine, but there are reports that they lack basic equipment and training to meet advancing

ukrainian forces. and the committee investigating the january, the 2nd storming of the u. s. capital has voted to subpoena donald trump for testimony, the former president could face criminal charges if he fails to comply with the summons. and that's what we have time for coming out. next is our political discussion show to the point. the latest edition focuses on russia's ass strikes on ukraine. i'm and you could was in berlin. thanks so much for joining us. ah. ah, with,
