[000:00:00;00] 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. while putting claims there's no need for additional recruits. more evidence is emerging that

brushing forces are now on the back foot in ukraine, also coming up anger over a controversial new media law in turkey. the government says it's to stop fake news critics war and the legislation will silence dissenting voices. plus women spearhead weeks, a protest, tinney rat. the death of a young woman in police custody inspires a nation wide uprising. we look at the brutal official response. ah hello and welcome. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. russia's president vladimir putin says to call up of army reservists he ordered to bolster his forces in ukraine is almost complete. putting 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 cigarette. another u. s. person, but ukraine's recent counter offensive in the south. her and east has highlighted weaknesses in the russian army, while moscow has enlisted large numbers of civilians, dw killian, by a report, that it doesn't seem able to supply them with enough weapons, close ammunition, or even food. rusty weapons and squalid conditionals recently for this, you know, a little bit of a threat from slim lead. 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. had to be done. what dmca?

these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residence, bringing supplies to a military base, inova subversive. moscow 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 maxwell yoni chief, says, social conditioning like this dates back to soviet times. and as part of the

problem. and he, the end of 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's a belief that authorities no better seen 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 with security expert dmitri alper roovis, which i asked him what he thinks of putins latest comments on winding down mobilization and suspending mass of air strikes on your crate. one the tax 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. many, almost $100.00 missiles a day at various targets in key of which are not even a strategic targets. many of them civilian targets, war crimes that have been 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 front. they may have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, but the promised training their san train recruits or recruits are trained with just a few weeks of training into this war, commanded by officers are exhausted. that have been on the line for 8 months. it's really dangerous recipe and unlikely to achieve a successful property. ok, so you're saying that the mobilization is actually not really going to have much of an impact on this, on this war effort. and what about the other resources that russia has? it may not have a lot of precision guided missiles left over, but it has a lot of other resources. does it not?

it does. and i don't wanna imply that it will have no effect. i think it will absolutely delay this war. i think it will allow the, the russians to consolidate their front lines and perhaps being able to defend more territory from the were taken by the koreans. but it's unlikely to allow them to go on the offensive with these untrained troops and try to retake more of the don boss territories with her son as appreciate that they've now annex. i think that's going to be very, very difficult for them. and even on the other, munitions, are there indications that they may be running out. artillery has been key to this conflict on both sides of the, of this war. and when we're seeing reports of rushes, now fine artillery shells from north korea, its radio supplies, and values that doesn't bode well for their ability to sustain this war over the long term. what about public opinion in russia? i know you monitor what's going on there quite closely. does vladimir putin have

public opinion on his side with respect to this war? you know, when he nast mobilization, this was the 1st time that war really came home to the russian people before that it was something that they wash and television something they didn't really pay much attention to some one else, particularly ethnic minorities, what dine in this war it was not the lead, it was not people in moscow in saint petersburg that is starting to change with a small was ation. he still has, i think, a very strong hold on power. i don't think he's in danger of any popular uprisings, any time soon. the repression apparatus in russia is very, very formidable, but he is definitely starting to lose enthusiasm for this war. as people are starting to sacrifice personally for it. i spoke to one analyst earlier this week who suggested that ukrainian forces will push through to crimea by the end of this year. do you think that's a realistic assessment? i think that's incredibly optimistic. i think this war is gonna continue for at least another year. perhaps even longer, and i think i,

the cranes are very far from making progress into crimea. dmitri alper of it's just purely expert based in the u. s. thank you so much. and you for several days now. russia has been launching airstrikes across ukraine. one incident in cuba and was widely reported a lampart glass, pedestrian bridge took the force of a missile blast. a commuter was almost blown off that bridge, but lived to tell the tale. our correspondent mathias bollinger has tracked him down every morning before work. my high lupita takes a walk through, keeps riverside parks across the 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 were yesterday of it was 18 minutes

past 8 in the morning. that was the date which it launched more than 80 misses at ukraine surveillance cameras court. the moment the hi lo was lucky. wonderful with us. yes, there was standing at the other side of the bridge, opposite the explosion near that bench over and the pressure away from the explosions went underneath the rocket. he just next to the bridge on the walkway in the park. 3 days later, the crater, the rock had 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 for now. hey, man, you're famous now. the video him on the bridgeman via the gradient view, reputed wish you a guardian angel hard,

who says he has recovered well from the show. but also the so you just start to value lash more. he understand that you need to leave every day to its fullest and not to put things off until later. mid. glad that in the 4th you say, oh that a boy just after the bloss, he went to his office like any other day. it's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world to day. british prime minister list truss has appointed jeremy hunt as to renew finance minister and scrapped. planned tax cuts hunt replaces quasi car tang who's been fired after just 6 weeks on the job. trust said the moves were intended to reassure financial markets after the government's earlier tax plans triggered turmoil. free center left or center white parties rather are forming a new coalition. government in sweden,

swedish moderate leader of christmas on, says his party will join forces with the christian never crates and liberals. the far right sweden, democrats will back the coalition without being part of it. at least 11 people were killed when a bus had an explosive device in molly, the government has been fighting a jew hottest insurgency for years. thousands of died in the conflict. and around 500 people have died in severe flooding in nigeria. according to the authorities, there more than 1400000 people have been affected. the floods are the worst to hit the country. in a decade. turkey's parliament has passed a controversial new media law people deemed to be spreading. this information could be jailed. the government says it's to stop fake news and misrepresentation. critics fear the law, the use to suppress democracy in free speech. telephone numbers aren't matching a phone with a hammer to protest,

a controversial law and people rocker by sent out a warning. they go, you lose. you have only one freedom left, the smart phones in your pocket, which have instagram facebook. youtube, which you can communicate with to day is october, the 12. if the lord passes in the parliament, you can break your farms and throw them away like this. but the bill, which was proposed by the ruling a k party, founded by president regis ty ebert of on was passed despite the warning. and it doesn't just further restrict expression on social media. it could also pose a serious threat to freedom of the press, allowing the jailing of journalists for up to 3 years on what critics say are vaguely framed disinformation laws. no one understands what any of those words are mean and the legal term, sir, because there is no definition of anxiety. i to fear a panic, for example,

are under turkish though. and it's not clear who's going to decide what the formation is misleading. turkey already has a low press freedom score. it's arbitrary jailing f journalists and the acre parties control if 90 percent of press have landed it in a 100 and 49th rank, among a 180 countries on the press freedom index in 2022. which traditional media already severely restricted social media has served as an alternative platform for news. but that may soon change under the new law. the this information law can be described as the last name to the coffin of press freedoms. in turkey, it gives complete the arbitrary power to our on and his man to restrict free speech to jail people, including journalists,

and also to remove content from from digital media, which remains is the only archive of, of good information in turkey with elections nearing many fear the law will be used to silence critical voices in the media. european unions foreign policy chief, joseph, already has called on iran to end it's crack down on anti government. protests. security forces have again fired on demonstrators official attempts to end the protests of failed to deter thousands from taking to the streets. the death of a young woman held by her in so called morality police a set of weeks of unrest. gunshots, outside of shopping center in the hut of to hit on police and managed to disperse a group of demonstrators. some were isolated and arrested. also take it 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 set, 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 in casa austin with russian president, putin, and turkish president ed dawn repeated. the official narratives. this guide is over . 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 no resorting to

a policy of destabilization, conroy them all the iranian to dish. sure, a 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 on were dispersed with tear gas. at least 4 of them were arrested. and joining me the studio as d. w, corresponded theresa trapper who has reported extensively from iran. good to see you teresa. um as you know, well note ugh, press freedom is restricted in iran. so do we have really have a clear picture of what's happening there? right now, no, not at all, filming or taking pictures in iran is very hard at the moment. it's very risky. you, whatever it is that tries it, whether it's a journalist to protest or any other person. and you, if you're caught, you will be beaten. you will be jailed or even worse. so that's very hard. and then even if you were brave enough to do that,

you have to upload it somewhere to social media to send it to somebody that's also very dangerous. and then in the end, it also has to make its way into international news coverage, which also doesn't always happen because it's kind of hard to verify these videos. considering the fact that there are hardly any correspondence on the ground any more. and because the one ukraine is taking so much attention internationally at the moment, so i'm very sure we haven't seen the full scale of these protests or the correct on on them protests. so they don't seem to have a central leader. women, however, are playing a major role fed up with a society where their rights are severely restricted. let's have a closer look. 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 men 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, then 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,

show them rather the senior melissa have blamed the west for the protest movement. but that hasn't stopped widespread, chances, woman, life, freedom that have been ringing out across the country. now women appear to be leading these protest. we're seeing a lot of women out on the streets there, but men are also participating. is that significant? theresa? absolutely. and it shows that it's not only the had to job or the discrimination against women in general. that is a topic in these protests because iranians and especially young iranians have had enough of this regime because there's just a lack of general human rights and freedom. so you have to consider that most the iranians were born long after the revolution, 979, and they see on social media, other people, their age are on the world live and they want the same freedom in the same opportunities. and they don't want old men anymore to tell them how they can live and not live,

especially if you consider the fact that the children and grandchildren of these old men are mostly living in the west and do enjoy the freedoms that iranians are longing for. and that's why not only men have join, but also university teachers, workers, lawyers, and all types of minorities from the kurdish groups in the northwest. 2 people interested in baluchistan in the southeast. and they all have the same rallying cry, like women, life freedom, and dest, through the dictator. and that's why i protest, at this time, i'm hoping that it might work out. so there's a wide base for these protests in iran. european foreign ministers are expected to meet next week and approve sanctions against iran because of what's happening right now. the cracked on, on, on these protests that supposed to happen on monday. toes. how has the you've been dealing with this so far? what sort of messaging have we been getting from you? well, we've seen a lot of kind of nation and some moral support,

symbolic some board like cutting your hair and public. but apart from that, we haven't heard much from the european union to be honest. so protest doesn't. iran will be watching closely how these new sanctions will turn out. and if they're actually target the people that are responsible for these human rights license inside iran, all the people, prostate, protesting against them, because it sounds like a no brainer. of course, the people responsible should be targeted, but that was not what happened in the past. often, ordinary iranians were paying the price for sanctions. so i'm sure protest as will be watching to see if sanctions actually hit the people and maybe their family is living in the west. teresa, thank you so much for your insights d w. theresa proper. in other news, lebanon's present michelle own has formerly accepted an agreement ending a maritime border dispute with israel. lebanon will regain several 100 square kilometers in the mediterranean,
