a but how they can also go terribly, watch it now on youtube. ah ah ah, this is dw, live from burly rusty weapons and little training for front blind combat. moscow is now sending newly mobilized soldiers into battle. as more science emerge, that roches military is now on the back foot in ukraine. also coming up the man on the bridge this foot, it shows the moment the man and key is narrowly, his gait,

the barrage of russian. as he talks to our correspondent and telling, telling him while that day was like bread and changed. his outlook on la plus a month of protests in iran spearheaded by women angry over the death of masa. many in police custody will look at the iranian government. hardline tactics entered crushing descent and new insights into the fight to free julian assange will speak to the wife of the jail, quickly expounded as he's shortly sit for the use top human rights. ah, i'm glad else as well come to the program. just weeks after raj russian president vladimir putin announced a parcel military immobilization,

new recruits on are arriving on the front lines in ukraine. but how well equipped ali's troops to fight to cranes forces which appear to be continuing that vans through russia's lines, did abuse kilian by our reports. that while moscow may be able to enlist hundreds of thousands of civilians, it doesn't seem able to supply them with enough weapons, clothes, ammunition, and even food. lou, rusty weapons, and squalid conditionals recently sher issue or that will, that threatens from lead. 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 tampon. do you know what it is for? you stick it in a boy and, and it expands and stops the bleeding. hard to be done. what the of these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residence, bringing supplies to

a military base and over subversive 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 are 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, jeff 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 e, but there's a willingness to rely on the government's decisions. it because there is a belief that authorities know better falsely. the people don't think critically, and thus they don't understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder looked at it, it was shamay. ah, 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. earlier i spoke to our correspond killian buyer in the re got, which is webinar covering russia from after moscow bureau was should dock shut down by the russian government. and i asked killian, why proteins mobilization doesn't appear to be going well. 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. 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 seemingly 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 reaching the public. now,

president putin has just appointed a new general survey, sir, a vixen who is now leading the worn ukraine. how is he changing things? or general sergei sorta vicky 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 touch pakistan 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 keon by that in riga. thank you. fill in for several days.

now. russia has been launching as strikes across ukraine. but one incident in keith drew many people's attention. i was shad lot on social media. you may remember seeing these images of his glass pedestrian bridge. that's a keith landmark at the blast that nearly destroyed it. and also the solitary figure, who had a very lucky escape, our correspondent monte, as billing, managed to track down the man on the bridge. every morning before work we hi lupita takes a walk through, keeps riverside parks across the scenic loss bridge, built a few years ago. last monday was no exception. it was an extraordinary beautiful autumn day. i was standing on that balcony over there yesterday of it was 18 minutes past 8 in the morning.

that was the date which in launched more than 80 misses at ukraine surveillance cameras court. the moment the highlight was lucky, wonderful. she was yes, there was standing at the other side of the bridge opposite explosion near that bench. 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 crater, 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. now. the video of him on the bridge went via the gradient view reported wish you a guardian angel hunter says he has recovered wealth in the shop. but

also vincent just started 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 you, sir. oh that ever just after the bloss, he went to his office like any other day at several of not some of the other stories making headlines around the world. british finance minister quasi quoting, has been fired according to media reporting had only been on the job for 6 weeks. sure. and his 2nd comes after the ministers, recent budget for polio triggered turmoil on u. k. financial markets, the union of nigerian university lecturer says it has suspended an 8 month long strike all the pay. more than 2000000 students have been unable to study. and many of them have been taken to the streets to protest against electress will be de

at. and lebanon's president michelle own says he has accepted a maritime border agreement with israel. lebanon will regain hundreds of square kilometers off, previously disputed territory in the mediterranean sea, including several offshore gas fields. the deal was broken by the u. s. over the last 4 weeks, widespread strike, st. heated protest have rocked. iran. authorities have cracked down hard rights group, say more than 200 people have been killed in 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 massa armine from iran's kurdish region. she was arrested for not complying with a strict rules on wearing a headscarf. now she's become the face of the protest movement that's seen

thousands of women take to the streets. women have been at the forefront of the anti government protests rejecting the repressive policies of iran's hardline islamic leadership. and despite police shooting live rounds at them, they protest have only grown in size and in passion. come south south side, a shopping center in the hut of to hit on police and managed to disperse a group of demonstrators. some were isolated and arrested also into hit on pass us 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 mc leadership in iran are continuing according to reports, protests took place and 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, irena and president abraham had a c at a conference in cost on with russian president putin and turkish president ad dawn . repeat at the official narratives. this guide is over. the protest are being controlled by foreign countries. enact got to pay in our community since the americans have failed with her policy of sanctions and militarization nash, washington and his allies are now resorting to a policy of destabilization for him. you know, i am all the iranian today. sure. he has announced even harsher punishments against demonstrators. thousands are set to have already been detained without legal assistance. lawyers who are protesting against this and take it on were dispersed with tear gas. at least 4 of them were arrested. on joining me in the studio now is

the ws postpone. it was a trophy who's traveled to iran and reported from iran, extensively a to raise 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 one 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 this 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. and then of course, with the dog is also very careful. in fact checking. and we can't just publish anything to raise her. the protest 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 are 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 estimate republic. it's a lack of human rights and general. and most people protesting now were born long after the revolution in 1970. and 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, i 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 or 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 iranians living in exile, protesting, and not people from germany or european countries. mostly, 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. the detained a helix found the julian sauce has been short listed for the used top human rights of water. zachary of fries in a moment, will have the opportunity to speak to his wife stella morris. she is here in berlin for the german premier of a new documentary about the fight to free her husband as he battles us, demands for his extradition. first, let's have a look at the film. it's called the taco ah, supporters to julian, a song gather in london to show solidarity. ah, he has strong support from those who are committed to press freedom, not least, his former lawyer now his wife question that this is an enormous, monumental injustice of a man who has been persecuted by the authorities. were using the course of powers of the state in order to try to punish him for doing the right thing in the

journalist editor and acted as to founded wiki leaks and who was behind major league, including u. s. army intelligence during the iraq war is now at the center of a news story. ithaca, a documentary focusing on a sanchez father, john shipped, and his fight for his release is receiving its german premier while a sandwich is kept in a high security prison in the u. k, one awaiting extradition to the u. s. where he may yet stand trial for espionage. the film has some high profile contributions and the intensity of a very personal story. we're here, mrs. only come about because we have a child unless you want to give you know, if the film explores family barnes and it's use of press freedom for against the backdrop of a song. she is restricted movement from echoes london embassy and 2010 to his

arrest. and incarceration in okay, jail in 2019. where he is now a waiting for an uncertain future. hello john. this duty here by stella morris student services. a wife. welcome. thanks for joining us on the w. news. stella last one of our report was awaiting an uncertain future on what are your hopes and fears for to williams future? well, an uncertain future, an uncertain present. julian has been in a high security prison for over 3 and a half years. he's not serving a sentence and he awaits the the outcome of the extradition where he faces possible prison sentence in the u. s. for 175 years. the fact that he's even in prison is completely a huge travesty of justice. and i'm increasingly describing the process itself as

the punishment and as a means to keep him indefinitely in a prison as punishment. now, before we go further into that, um, when did you last? see julian, and how is he? i saw julian about 9 days ago or 10 days ago, but on saturday last week he was diagnosed with cove it so that means that he was placed in 24 hour lockdown, locked in his cell continuously since saturday. today's day 7 of solitary confinement essentially. so we don't know how long he's going to be under those conditions yesterday. now this morning when i spoke to him, he was still testing positive. so you can just imagine the harsh conditions of a high security prison. and on top of that, getting co vision and added to that being confined to your cell 24 hours a day. now, as you said, high security prison, he is so co category a prisoner that bell mars notorious prisoner britain. but what are the conditions

of his incarceration there? while he is in his prison cell for over 20 hours a day? sometimes it's been much worse like now where he's 24 hours. sometimes he or generally he, he can go to the yard for an hour a day and get a fresh air. but, you know, he's fighting this monumental legal battle. there's a lot of complexity involved. he's his ability to communicate with his lawyers is impeded by the fact that he's in us high security prison. i mean there is no comparison to fighting a legal case that your life depends on from within a prison cell. and for what reason, julian's not a violent anything. he's a publisher. and the case against him is completely outrageous. so he is forced to fight with both hands tied behind his back. no say he's, he's not a criminal. the u. s. justice department says he's a criminal hacker charged under the espionage act. the human, the european parliament though,

has just named julian to the short list of his soccer, off prize wood indication to human rights and freedom of thought. but he explained that contradiction. well, because it's a political case, you can just see bye bye. but by the contrast, the obama administration during the that time the spokesperson for the department of justice in fact said to him, sons, it's a publisher, not a hacker. and there is no way that we can prosecute assange in a way that does not set a precedent for the rest of the press. the obama administration was not prepared to do that. but what happened was that the trump administration was precisely because this case sets a precedent for which the administration can go after any one in the press and even the foreign press that julian is australian citizen, australia's attorney attorney general says his case has gone long enough and he says he's what he calls private talks with a biden administration. you hopeful there could be

a resolution to this. it's clear to me that this and to everyone, i think that this is not a legal case. it's a political case. and so a resolution has to come from the top has to be the different administrations, the different governments talking about how do we end this because it's in nobody's can intro, this goes on the u. k. is seen for what it is. it's imprisoning a journalist on behalf of a foreign power. the u. s. has, is continuing this case that was brought by the trump administration. that is anathema to everything that the u. s. says it stands for 1st amendment press freedom open democracy and so on. now there's a bit of change of government in australia, the new government you recommend doing enough, but the only one the only test the only outcome, ah, that is enough, is julian's freedom. and so far that hasn't happened, but of course, julian's life is in the hands of politicians. so i am loath to criticize them too

openly because i know that his fate lives in their hands and i hope they're doing everything they can to get him out as soon as possible. and what do you say to critics who say that julian brought his all on himself by trying to avoid justice back? when swedish prosecutors sought him for questioning or non sexual assault was all co charges. while the swedish investigation has been discredited by the un working group and arbitrary detention, which found that it was actually an abusive process, that they were acting in a way that was keeping julian arbitrarily detained because he was always offering to be to cooperate. and it was, in fact the u. k. authorities who told sweden not to question him. there's a book about it, the u. n. special repertoire on torture. neil's meltzer did a whole investigation. anyone who's interested about this aspect to the case should read the book. so what are the next steps, what, what is the, what is your hope? what can be achieved next? what is it, what is achievable?

well, raising julian's case is essential public awareness or the, the screening of ithaca at the berlin human rights film festival. it had a standing ovation last night. it was an amazing reception. the nomination for the soccer of prize being shortlisted is incredibly important. and all of these things contribute they built my ability and our ability to keep this case on the agenda and to make sure that it is inescapable for the decision makers, the people who can actually decide to bring it to an end to do something about it. very briefly, do you have a message for jordan support other that they're doing amazingly that we're we're reaching a lot of people on saturday last week we had over 7000 people around the u. k. parliament. both sides of the bridge and it was an amazing show of support. thank you very much for joining us. ended up the news seller morris went through the
