reject it. is the mis regimes hard line tactics aimed at crush it? ah, i'm glad at us, welcome to the program. just weeks after russian president vladimir putin announced a partial military mobilization. new recruits are now arriving on the front lines in ukraine. but how well equipped are these conscripts to fight ukraine's forces, which appear to be continuing their advance through russia's lights, dw ski, and by our reports that while moscow may be able to enlist hundreds of thousands of civilians, it doesn't seem to be able to supply them with enough weapons, clothes, ammunition, and even food. lou, rusty weapons, and squalid conditioners,

loosely shudder issues that will that affect them from lead you. these are just some of the images that have been circulating on russian social media and telegram shots, showing the things that mobilized russian men are having to deal with a tampon. 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 and these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residents bringing supplies to a military base. and nova 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, mux ione chief, says, social conditioning like this dates back to soviet times. and as part of the problem. and he had, the majority of russian people are not ready to go to war. it is literally heal e, but there's a willingness to rely on the government's decisions. is it because there is a belief that authorities no better form seen the people don't think critically. thus they don't understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder looked at it, it was shamay. 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 that report by w killian. by on producer maria, cut them out sir, and kill ya now, joins us from riga and lafayette, which is where dw news is currently reporting from about russia. because our moscow bureau was shut down earlier this year by the russian government. killian, bobby trained eloquent conscripts is this common knowledge in russia? well, i do think this is known because it's been a topic on russian state media. it's circulated on russian social media. and of course, the news is getting back from egg from family members that have been drafted. and so what do russians think about it? well, i think we've been hearing from moscow that people are really, are buying the state propaganda that russia is indeed in an existential struggle

with the west fighting a proxy war in ukraine. so voices that we hear from moscow are saying, you know, someone needs to defend us am. and so i think really what we keep hearing is that people are indeed on board. in regards to the social media footage, i would like to add that the footage from our report is from the beginning of the month. and so that the social media footage, and it has seemed to me similarly dried up now. so it looks like the russian ministry of defense is indeed, exerting some damage control and trying to keep em, you know, the material that is getting out from the soldiers from ad reaching the public. now person put in has just appointed a new general survey. sir vicky who is now leading the worn ukraine. how is he changing things? or general survey sort of vicki has had a long career in the russian military. he is known for a crew in 1991 where

a 3 protesters were killed under his command by soldiers under his command. he went on to fight in tajikistan in the 2nd 2nd chechen war and at syria. he made a name for himself for being the man who gets everything done, no matter what the cost, especially to civilians. and now that he has been placed in charge of the operation in ukraine. or we can say that the most recent strikes against civilian infrastructure against the civilian centers really also bear his handwriting canyon by other aid. rieger. thank you for your time now to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. in marley, at least 11 people were killed and dozens injured. when a boss hit an explosive device in the central region of mop t, b, government has 4 years been fighting, and she harvest insurgency that has claimed thousands of lives for the day at the lebanese president, michelle, i one says he has accepted

a maritime border agreement with israel lebanon will regain hundreds of square kilometers of disputed territory in the mediterranean sea, including several offshore gas fields. the deal was broken by the us flash floods of swamped hundreds of homes in australia, southeast 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 the region as more rain is forecast in the coming weeks. for the last 4 weeks, white spread strikes and heated protests have rocked iran. the authorities have tracked down hard rights group, say more than 200 people have been killed and clashes with police and thousands have been detained. the unrest started when a young woman died while in the custody of the morality police. that young woman was 22 year old gina marcella,

meaning from iran's kurdish region. she was arrested for not comply with a strict rules on wearing a headscarf. she's become the face of a protest movement that seen thousands of women take to the street. and women have been at the forefront of this anti government protests rejecting the repressive policies of iran's leadership of his la mc hardliners. and despite police shooting live rounds of them, their protests have only grown in size and passion. come south south side of shopping, sent in the hut of the head on police and militia, dispersed a group of demonstrators. some were isolated and arrested. also take it on pass us by trying 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 protests against the law mc 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 28 children and young people. iranian president, abraham bracy at a conference, calls austin with russian president, putin and turkish president ed dawn repeated the official narrative. just go to school with the protest are being controlled by foreign countries. enact gotta pay in our community since the americans have failed with their policy of sanctions and militarization nash, washington and his allies are now resorting to a policy of destabilization, conroy, m, o. d, urena 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 jeremy, the student now is the ws. postpone. it was a trophy whose job is to iran and reported from iran, extensively a terrace up i'll be seeing, getting to know everything that is currently happening in iran. now i'm sure we're not because taking pictures or filming, even if it's only with a smartphone, is a huge risk for anyone in iran at the moment. and if you're caught doing that in a situation like this one, you'll be beaten and jailed or worse. and then even if you've done so publishing, it is also a challenge because sending it to somebody or uploading it on social media is also dangerous. and it's hard given the fact that there still internet shutdowns all over the country, especially for example, in iran's curtis regions. which have turned into a major protest top in the last couple of weeks. and then even if you've achieved all of that, it has to make its way into international news coverage. and that's also not always

happening because it's hard to verify these videos. and there are no correspondence on the ground, so i'm pretty sure we haven't seen the full scale of both the protests and the correct on on them. because with the dog is also very careful. in fact checking. and we can't just publish anything to reserve, the protests don't seem to have a central leader, but women are playing a major role. they're fed up with a society where they're right so severely restricted, let's have a closer look at how and where exactly before coming back to you to this is what outraged looks like in iran, people who feel they have nothing left to lose the daring imprisonment or worse, many disagree strongly with the government rules on dress for women and that someone had to die for breaking them in my opinion that they should remove the he job altogether. anyone who likes it can we're at, and anyone who doesn't, doesn't need to. iran is

a religious state and the official interpretation of shia islam relies on a fundamentalist view of women's and men's roles. women are required to dress modestly. that includes covering their hair at all times and public. this is a core value of iranian law since the revolution in 1979 child custody and divorce settlements favor man who can also prohibit their wives from working in certain professions. women are not allowed to leave the country without their husbands permission. women receive far less inheritance when a parent dies than do their brothers, and they faced discrimination in inheriting their husbands estates as well. the iranian government does not seem poised to change discriminatory laws, but rather the senior melissa have blamed the west for the protest movement. but that hasn't stopped and widespread chances, woman life freedom that have been ringing out across the country

or is that even if women are largely leading these anti government protest men have also joined in? does that surprise you? no, not really. because the japanese, the discrimination against women in general is not the only reason why iranians and especially young iranians have had enough of the islamic republic. it's a lack of a human rights and general. and most people protesting now were born long after the revolution in 1979. and they, they can see on social media how people their age live in other areas of the world . and they want the same thing for themselves. so they don't want to be denied freedoms and opportunities by the old men that are ruling them at the moment. especially if you consider the fact that the children and grandchildren of these old men themselves mostly live in the west. so they enjoy the freedoms iranians in iran cannot. and that's why not only men, but also other groups of join the protests, iraq and minorities, for example,

lawyers, workers, many groups. and that's why i protest does now feel that this time it could work out and they could succeed. now your performances are expected to approve a new set of sanctions against iran. amanda, do you think that you has been to so so far? well, apart from condemnation and symbolic moral support, just so far, we haven't seen much from the european union like cutting your hand public for example. and, and that's also true for germany who will be demos on the streets of berlin for example. and if so, it was mostly iran is living in exile, protesting, and not people from germany or european countries, mostly. and i'm sure protest as will be watching closely what kind of sanctions the european union will agree on. if it's sanctions that actually target and hit the people in power who are responsible for the human rights violations,

or if its ordinary iranians, again, who has mostly been paying the price for sanctions against iran in the past. thank you very much. and that's it from me, theresa and the whole new steam of fernald. uncle wake coming up. it's business with speeding fits on gabrielle 1st in berlin. and so we got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner chat. hot spot for food chairs and some great cultural memorials to mood d. w, travel.
