and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn shy, mom and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that move to live and united this i have invited many deer and well, i guess. and i would like to invite you to an end. 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 is no need for additional recruits. more evidence is emerging that russian courses are now on the back foot in ukraine.

ah, hello and welcome. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin says the collar 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 cause extern, putin also said, russia does not want to destroy you crane, and there's no need for massive new air strikes. 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 cleaned by our reports, that it doesn't seem able to supply them with enough weapons, close ammunition, or even food. rusty weapons,

and squalid conditioners, loosely shudder, vision or dental that threatens from lead you. these are just some of the images that have been circulating on russian social media and telegram chats 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 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 maxwell yoni, jeff 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 e. but there's a willingness to rely on the government's decisions. it because there is a belief that authorities know 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 what 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 asked security expert to me 3 or 4 of each. what he thinks of putins laid his comments on whining del mobilization and suspending massive airstrikes 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 in key of which are not even a strategic 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 fronts. they may have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, but the problem was training their send you on 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 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 a 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. doesn't know 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 announced 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, would dine in this war. it was not the leads, it was not people in moscow and st. petersburg data starting to change with his mobilization. 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 that the cranes are very far from making progress into crimea. dmitri alper of it's just curity expert based in the u. s. thank you so much. you sketch up on swell the stories making headlines around the world today. ill unmasks space x has said it cannot keep funding ukraine's starling internet satellite service. the company is asking the u. s. military to cover the costs. according to media reports in recent days, mosque has a lot has

least trust has already sat 10 most important loyalist finance minister quality quoting. i've acted decisively to day because my priority is in showing our country's economic stability. as prime minister, i will always act in the national interest. this is always my 1st consideration. many see quieting as escape goods. both he and trust wanted to radically low a taxes to boost the economy. i'm not going to talk the additional rate of tax that i missed, the speaker. i'm going to abolish it altogether. they didn't say he would pay for that financial markets panicked. mortgage rates shot up and pension funds voted. when journalists asked her why she didn't resign, trust repeated the same refrain. what credibility do you have?

what i have done to day is made sure the we have economic stability in this country. form a foreign minister, jeremy hunt now takes over britain's finances. trust says she will scrap some of the plans, tax cuts. this is unlikely to reassure her conservative party. she herself might to be pushed out. next. florida what's bringing our correspond burger, most in london for got some say that you k prime minister lose cross fired, her finance minister quality courting to save her own position. how what support does trussville have in her own party? very difficult situation for her. she had to fire closet quite tang. he was one of her longstanding political allies and he executed the so called mini budget, but she was definitely behind it. they're politically, very much aligned. it was, trust is 1st mistake to you,

not explain how she is going to fund all these packs cards. but her 2nd mistake was that she, when she became prime minister, she really didn't make an effort to have a cabinet of unity. so she sacked a lot of people who previously sat in the cabinet and replaced them with people loyal to her. so now she's facing a situation where there are a lot of m. p. 's will have an ax to grind and powerful in the party m p say there's an awful lot of plotting going on. people are really in her own party trying to dispose of her. this is a critical moment in the u. k. there's massive pressure on the economy, the currency, the government, the monarchy watched the mood in the country right now. berg, well, yes, a lot of people are really suffering britain as a country with a high inequality as it was, but now it's facing like other countries. it's facing the bronze of the war and

ukraine with arising energy prices. a lot of people don't know whether to heat their homes or to put food on the table. so heat or eat is not just the slogan, but it's really the reality for a lot of people say for a prime minister in that situation for a government then to come and cut taxes for the riches. and society makes them look almost toned of. so a lot of people don't really and don't, don't really think that the government understands the pressure that people are under and that obviously makes them feel unhappy with the government. less stress is personal ratings. as a prep, prime minister are at historic low is only one about one and handwritten things that she is doing a good job. and the conservative party is trailing far behind labor in the opinion polls. and this is also why conservative and peas are thinking that she will have to go or a lot of empties or thinking that because they do want to win the next election.
