or why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah ah, this is the w news coming to live from berlin. vladimir putin says rushes mobilization of civilians to fight in ukraine is almost complete. putin claims there is no need for any more new recruits, but more evidence is emerging that russian forces are now on the back foot in ukraine. also coming up the man on the bridge,

a civilian in key if narrowly escaped a barrage of air strikes, he tells our correspondent what it was like and how it's changed. his life also coming up another blow for media. freedom in turkey. as the government passes a controversial law that it says will stop fake news. critics warned it will silence dissenting voices. ah, hello and welcome. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. russia's president vladimir putin calls her, says the call up of army reservists. he ordered to bolster his forces in ukraine, is almost complete, hooting claims, more than 2 thirds of 300000 personnel on the call up list have already been mobilized. speaking after a regional summit in kazakhstan, putin also said, russia does not want to destroy ukraine. and there's no need for massive new air

strikes going. but ukraine's recent counter offensive in the south and east has highlighted weaknesses in the russian army. while moscow has enlisted large numbers of civilians, dw kaleon by our reports, that it doesn't seem able to supply them with enough weapons, close ammunition, or even food room. rusty weapons, and squalid conditionally shudder issues that hold on a threaten slim leg. 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 dmca? these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residents bringing supplies to

a military base. inova subarus moscow's mobilization efforts are not going to plan soldiers or 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 muck, so you'll need jeff says, social conditioning like this dates back to soviet times. and as part of the problem, a majority of russian people are not ready to go to war.

but there's a willingness to rely on the government's decisions because there is a belief that authorities know better. the people don't think critically. first, they don't understand when the government is using them as cannon fodder. nasa. 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 security expert dmitri alper roving what he thinks of putin, his comments on winding down the mobilization and suspending mess of air strikes on ukraine, won the attacks front. it's very clear that the russians did not have the precision guided munitions to sustain the rate of fire that we saw in the last couple of days . and he almost a 100 missiles a day at various targets and key of which are not even this restricted targets.

many of them civilian targets, war crimes are being committed with. these strikes is something that russia just can't afford to do for long periods of time. so they're clearly trying to conserve munitions, so this is not done out of gesture of good. well, on mobilization, france, they may have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, but the problem was training their san train, recruits or recruits are trained with just a few weeks of training into this war are commanded by officers are exhausted. that have been on the line for months. it's really dangerous a recipe and unlikely to achieve a successful property. while many russians are trying to avoid being called up by leaving their homeland. so where are they going? more than 200000 have entered cars extend since the mobilization began for 3 weeks ago. nearly 69000 have arrived in georgia. european union has also seen an influx, despite restrictions that make entry here more difficult for russians. at least

$144000.00 have come in so far. other countries including israel, armenia and turkey, also report an increase in arrivals. sanctions and travel rules mean russians faced many hurdles getting out of the country, but our next guest has managed to leave. his name is pablo. he is a russian who recently left the country for his safety. we're not giving his full name, but we can tell you that he is currently in cause extend. pavel, thank you very much for being with us today. tell us what made you wait for me. yeah. what, what made you decide to leave russia? well the doctors and careful yet has done consideration with my family. ah, 1st i didn't want to go than my parents. so at 1st they didn't want me to go. ready

his part. he will join the christian democrats and the liberals in the government. the far right sweden, democrats will conditionally back the coalition without being part of it. for at least 11 people were killed when a bus had an explosive device in molly, the government has been fighting a g. hottest insurgency there for years. thousands have died in the conflict and round 500 people have died in flooding in nigeria, according to authorities more than 1400000 people have been affected by the floods that have been going on for months. turkey's parliament has passed a controversial media law. people deemed to be spreading. this information could be jailed. president edwin's governing party and it's nationalist allies pushed through the legislation. the bill amends press and social media log. the government says the aim is to combat fake news and disinformation critics fear the law. the

used to suppress democracy and free speech turkeys president, roger of type out of one, had already restricted prism of speech in the country. now, media rights groups are warning that the latest provisions will limit press freedom even more. that this information law designed by our don and his inner circle, is the versed attack on press freedoms in turkey, not only press freedoms, but free speech in turkey because it will give the governments just and other policies and other tools that can be arbitrarily used against journalists, and anyone who is just wising their opinion on especially on social media. earlier i spoke to dw corresponded julia han, and i asked her how journalists in turkey reacted to the bill and what it means for their work and her work. as a journalist, fellow reporters here in turkey, tell me they are now bracing for a fresh government crackdown on independent journalism and freedom of expression.

this time specifically targeting digital media. they also say that they think the timing of their so called dis, information law is no coincidence. it is aimed at silencing criticism. they say in the run up to next year's elections here in turkey, which are widely seen as the most difficult campaign, reggie tie of ad one has ever faced in his nearly 20 years in power. now of course, this is an entire legal package. it establishes many new rules for social media companies, for example, but many here are particularly concerned about one provision you just mentioned. it stipulates up to 3 years in jail for people, a journalists, but also ordinary social media uses who are deemed to have spread misleading information online about turkey. security, for example, with the intention quote to create fear and disturb public order. now,

critics say this is basically giving the authorities more power to arbitrarily arrest and jail people and that this will as a consequence, lead to even more self censorship here in the country. okay, so a new law there could see people jail per spreading, so called fake news or dis information. but julia, who defines what this information is in turkey. this is actually one of the major complains brought forward by local and international media rights groups by opposition law makers as well, who have staged protests in parliament in recent days trying to stall the entire voting process on this package. they say the law does not clearly define what fake news or are what dis, information is. thus, basically, leaving it open to abuse in a country that has already severely limited freedom of speech where the government controls most of a broadcast and print media where the judiciary is highly politicized. and some are

even drawing comparisons with the russian laws with russia's crackdown on freedom of speech, much of turkey's medial as keep his whole ready controlled by the government tuleya . so why does that need another dis information or will the turkish government has been arguing. it is necessary to fight this information and fake news, particularly on social media of president. edwin once said that he is trying to protect. let me quote him here vern horrible segments of society from rising digital fascism and fake news. so this is a narrative, the government has been pushing for quite some time. they also argue that other european countries also have laws that regulate social media. but here in turkey, the concern is how is this law? how are these laws being implemented? and many critics here say that digital media have been one of the last remaining

strongholds of free speech youtube instagram. twitter are very popular with young people here in turkey and his and it is that kind of free speech. the government now seeks to control in order to remain in power. that is the argument. eulley. thank you very much for now. our correspond jojo, her in is symbol. in other news, lebanese president michelle own 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. nigerian university lecturers have suspended an 8 month pay strike over $2000000.00 students have been unable to study. many have protested against the lecturers. walker climate protesters had thrown soup over vincent and god's masterpiece sunflowers

that they're aiming to be in the bundis league within 5 years. so whole idea kind of came from the fact that berlin doesn't have the bonus. ega team, which is strange. and i think also said for a city that calls itself like the sports capital of germany, victoria art trailblazers in german football. there the 1st women's club to court outside investment. the project is led by 6 women from business, sports, and media. they were inspired by angel city f. c in the us, which counts natalie portman and serena williams, among its co owners and the news break in 2020. yeah. they said okay, you need to do something like that in. so that's where they kind of came up with the idea and the vision to reach their goal. victoria have hired

a full time coach. they've also upgraded their training and medical facilities. victoria squad will change if they make it to the bundis lager. some will grow with the team, but others will have to move on. i know i will be part of it now, and i will do everything to get this team to the 2nd honestly. but i will not be part of it in the bundled league, and also it is my job to push the young ones to, you know, develop their skills. victoria, berlin, coming soon to the bundle lager. and joining me for more on the small club with big ambitions is danya barcelona, who as well as working for d w. sports happens to play for victoria burleson herself. but so that's amazing. what, what's it like to be in the club with buddhist legal ambitions? i mean, it's really, really exciting. i'm going to be honest at the beginning when we 1st met the group of investors. i mean, we're a little bit skeptical because it's not the 1st time we had heard. we want to push

women's football. we want to get into it, but really over time we've seen that. not only were they interested, but they mean what they say. and the excitement in the team and in the community is just amazing to see. so you guys are all fired up now and, and i'm working towards your goal. yeah. you have investors back in the club, as you mentioned, as we saw in our report, a big name investors. it must be said, you also have a full, full time coach. now that made that possible, the money that's come in what's next? well, i mean, i think it seems, you know, you hear the word investors. you think somebody came and dropped millions of arrows on a team. it's not exactly like that. and i mean, these investors, 6 women are working really hard to secure investments from individuals and companies to really match with our values. and it's about creating a long term. and so sanibel project in berlin, which is great. i'm in baby steps, but it's a big step in the right direction. okay. now, when do you think victoria berlin could make the next the jump to the next league?

well, as a player, i really want to say in 2 years will be in the room as they go. but obviously it's not that easy because i mean, like i work for d, w sports, the rest of my teammates are either studying or working and between, you know, the professional level 270 professional level. it's very important that you get there and you get there slowly and you're ready to be there with the background staff, with facilities and all kinds of support. so it's more of, you know, we cover more than 2 years. but you find yourself training a lot more now than used to. um it's, it's not more because like i said, the jobs and stuff, but it's different. it's different training. we have people who go scout for us. we have our coaches planning sessions, you know, weeks in advance based on who we're playing against, which is great. so it has definitely taken a step up and that is the right direction to go. if you want to be in the boonies, they go one day. so the quality of training is, is improving. great. i've done the barcelona from d w sports and also from victoria. berlin. thanks been with us. thanks,
