ah, ah ah ah, this is the w news, live it from berlin. tonight, the soldiers, he needs whether be approved and says that russia's mobilization of civilians to fight in ukraine is almost complete. a boot and claims there is no need for more recruits. more evidence is emerging that russian forces are now on the back foot in

ukraine. also coming up tonight, british prime minister list trust scraps, tax cuts and sax, her finance chief, she's hoping to com, rattled financial mark plus the death of a young woman in police custody in iran has inspired a nationwide uprising, will meet the woman who's pushing the protest ah, i'm break off, it's good to have you. with this on this friday washes president vladimir putin says that the coal up of army reservists that he ordered to bolster his forces in ukraine is now almost complete. total claims that more than 2 thirds of 300000 personnel on the call up list have already been mobilized. now speaking today, after a summit in cause i,

john wooten also said that russia does not want to destroy ukraine. and that there is no need for massive new air strikes. but ukraine's recent counter offensive in the southeast of the country has highlighted weaknesses within the russian army. while moscow has enlisted large numbers of civilians, the w. killian bayer reports that it doesn't seem able to supply them with enough weapons, and of close ammunition, or even food room, rusty weapons, and squalid conditionally shudder issues, or that will, 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 hard to be done. what's the and 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 mux aiyona chief, says, social conditioning like this dates back to soviet times. and as part of the

problem with the majority of russian, people are not ready to go to war. but there's a willingness to rely on the government's decisions. it because there is a belief that authorities know better. seeing that people don't think critically. thus they don't understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder . and 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. and for more now we want to go to washington dc. i'm joined by sam bended, a military analyst who specializes in russian military capabilities. it's good to see you again, sam. let me ask you the, the president of russia tonight on this friday saying that we don't need any new, massive strides in ukraine. he wasn't saying that obviously, monday,

tuesday or wednesday. so how do you read that? me, what's changed? well, probably there is a need for russian military to re evaluate the impact of the strikes. it is known that they have spent a significant amount of their precision guided munitions and other rockets which are in short supply. but at the same time, the strikes caused international condemnation and really have not stopped the ukrainian results were also hearing from mr. brewton that he doesn't see a need to expand the draft any further. i mean, could this be in response to, to public anger over conscription? quite possibly, there's been a lot of anger. there's been a lot of public condemnation, a lot of videos, shared publicly across russia and around the world. but also, there's a need for russia to essentially see how the mobilization going at this point. how many soldiers are actually enough, or the combat that they're planning,

and therefore a certain pause and re evaluation is probably necessary for the ministry of defense . at this point, we have seen reports about the number of rockets, the number of missiles that russia had to use just in the tax this past monday. the cost for that. so we're talking about shortages of weapons that we're talking about of a shortage of well trained soldiers on top of that. can russia continue to sustain this type of onslaught? i think it's a great question. i believe we are in a relatively uncharted territory. there's a lot of unknowns at this point, what russia can and cannot do. it can certainly blog, it's manpower problems with just new recruits annually mobilized forces. but these are not the same quality forces that went through the combat in the 1st 7 months. and so russia lost a lot of good quality soldiers and officers, again, it can have enough bodies at the front, but will actual quantity be

a good substitute for quality? now there are a lot of unknowns at this point, and it's very difficult to predict how far as russia is going to go. military analyst sam had been skipping his excellent analysis on this friday. sam, thank you. thank you. for several days now. russia has been launching airstrikes across ukraine almost for the entire week. now, one incident in keep stood out and was viewed the world over. now, you will remember seeing these images here, the glass, pedestrian bridge, a key landmark, and the blast that nearly destroyed and the solidarity, the or the solitary figure. i should say you had a very lucky escape. let me just get on there. you'll see what i'm talking about. there is right there are correspondent mathias bellinger managed to track down that man the man on the bridge every morning before work we hi lupita takes a walk through keith's riverside parks across

a scenic loss bridge going to few years ago. last monday was no exception. it was an extraordinary beautiful autumn day. 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 in launched more than 80 misses at ukraine surveillance cameras court. the moment the high low was lucky, wonderful is yes, that was standing at the other side of the bridge. opposite the explosion near that bench over. 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 rock had left has already been filled in. wicked 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 bridge went via the gradient to view reported. wish you a guardian angel harness says he has recovered wealth in the shop. but also the suitcases are to value lash more. he understand that you need to live every day to its fullest and not to put things off until later. it glowed out in the boardroom, sir. oh, whatever. just after the bloss, he went to his office like any other day. the british prime minister lives truss to day sacked. her finance minister scrapped planned to tax cuts and named a new finance minister making the new one,

the 4th i minister or finance minister to serve in the country. in the past 4 months, the prime minister trying to calm financial markets that have been worried by the new governments economic plants. another political earthquake shaking london not even 50 days in office. and prime minister list truss has already sat to most important loyalist finance minister quasi 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 today, mister 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 that we have economic stability in this country. form a foreign minister, jeremy hunt now takes over britain's finances. cha says she will, scraps some of the plans, tax cuts. this is unlikely to reassure her conservative party. she herself might be pushed out. next. if a were nell is bringing our correspond bigger ma, she is in london. good evening to you. bear. good. so our pose, the question to you be, are good. the one that was posed to the prime minister, but she did not answer i'm to day was quasi courtney was he the fall guy for this bad economic plan?

quasi quoting and less trust have been longstanding, political friends, also personal friends. i didn't know whether they are any more, but they are definitely aware responsible for this budget that cause so much hammer on the market. they're definitely also bore their handwriting of list trust. so quality quoting, executed it, but less trust was definitely standing behind it and you see a in a snap paul that the british people also know that. and that they think that this trust was as responsible as, as quote quoting for the tamar that was call it caused by the markets. but las draws today judged that some thing had to give and that somebody needs to go. and that was her finance minister rather than herself. that's how things stand at the moment. but as we know, things can change quickly. how much support does lose trust have in her own party at the moment. this trust has made too vague mistakes. one

was announcing these tax cuts that, than the financial markets were judging to be unfunded. all se judged by the british public to be earned away tone deaf and her cost of living crisis to announce the tax cuts for the riches and society. so that was her 1st big mistake, but she's made another big mistake and that concerns her own cabinet. so when she took over as prime minister a few weeks ago, she sacked a lot of people in the cabinet and filled the places with her supporters. so she doesn't have a unified ab jerry party behind that. she's got a lot of people with somehow an axe to grind. and these people, as we know, are now plotting. they want a lot of them want to see the back of her. and so this is not going to be the end of, of her problems. we are expecting it to become worse and the days and weeks come yes,

it is a definitely a critical moment in the u. k. politically, but also for the political establishment and the economy as well. big mos in london . big thank you. already in active is have launched an online appeal calling for fresh nationwide protests against the clerical leadership. the movement triggered by gina martha. i mean, he's death has now entered a 5th week. a new social media video shows people in the southeastern city of the had done chanting, anti government slogan. now the supreme leader, ayatollah ali from and he says that no one should think they can uproot the islamic republic. the demonstrations are not dying down despite a correct found that has killed doesn't. and the, the approach as do not seems you have a single leader, women are playing a major role here. 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 it. 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 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, show them rather. the senior melissa have blamed the west for the protest movement, but that hasn't stopped the wide spread chance woman life freedom that have been ringing out across the country. is more now joined by a sol rod in los angeles. she is a research director at the national iranian american council that's always good to have you with us to night. when we see those pictures, the women walking down the streets, protesting. can we say that people in general, but also women are no longer afraid to take to the streets in iraq to protest?

you know, i think we've seen this sort of courage in past iterations of protests in your on. so i wouldn't necessarily say that this is the 1st time we're seeing that kind of fearlessness, but the level to which we're seeing at the fact that they're actually using acts of civil disobedience burning their had jobs walking in public without their had jobs, especially in young women, right, this new generation, this youth lead movement that we're seeing unfold is a new level of fearlessness. and that is mostly seen in the fact that these, these acts of defiance have gone much further than acts of defines that we've seen in the past. and this is also a broader movement than what we've seen the past, isn't it? i mean we're, i'm thinking that we're seeing women who are protesting students protesting. we are also seeing protests among the kurds. and there's also, i've heard concerns that the trade unions could coal a strike, particularly in the oil industry. me, these are all very different areas of iranian society, the economy. and yet, they seem to be converging. do they have

a goal that they share what we've seen? i mean, if you look at the, the history of iran, it on the modern history and even the revolution itself. we've seen across sections of iranian society, coming together in similar ways to protest. these are, you know, i think the largest protest you can refer to before this, even though 2019 there were large process as well. lee, 2009 as the last time you saw the scale of protests. but even now, i think the one of the major differences is the fact that you have, you know, 2009, the people who are joining now, who are in their late teens, early twenties, they are kids. and this is an entirely different generation that is coming out, demanding really the same things that have been demanded by previous generations. but maybe in a different style. and i with a limited amount of patients for the refusal of the state to meet their demands in terms of what those demands are. you know, there isn't a clear we don't have right now, is a clear sure of what is the details, right?

what exactly are their set of demands? what exactly do they want? who do they want to replace the system? if that is what they're calling for, which to a certain extent, you have to admit that that's the case, right? if they're saying death, the dictator, death directly to hominy, then it goes beyond just the social impressions. it goes beyond the political impressions. this is a society that has been seen had that is experienced pressure from every part of their daily lives, with their livelihood through economic pressure, whether it's their futures really, who that are on the life. and so what they're demanding is a fundamental change. the system that, and i want to note this, this is, these are people who have engaged in the system previously. so if you look at elections in 2017 and compare them with 2021. there is a gravitational shift in participation where you had 70 percent participation in 2017. and i think something like 42 or 43 percent participation the lowest ever since the revolution. so these shifts show not only

a system that refuses to change, but that they've rendered their own people in a position where they have no choice, but to call for a fundamental change, a toppling of that system. if it refuses to meet their demands, a fall rather research director of the national rainy the american council. we certainly appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you for having oh, it's time now to look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. 5 people have been killed in a shooting of the us state of north carolina. the 15 year old boy suspected of carrying out the attack is in critical condition at a hospital. president joe biden expressed grief and urged once again for action to be taken on gun control and explosion at a coal mine in northern turkey has killed at least 2 workers, and left dozens more trapped under ground. rescue efforts are already underway at the scene. the cause of the blast is not yet clear. finally,

pro gestures have thrown soup over vincent van goes masterpiece. you see it right? they are sunflowers activist defaced the work at london's national gallery to protest against you. k government investments in fossil fuel projects, police arrested the 2 people for trespassing in criminal damage. tomato soup ah, a small football club in the capital of germany wants to make it big. victoria berlin, r a women's team that shot the prominence after some big investors opened their checkbooks. w news gave the club a visit and what we found will capture your imagination. mate, victoria, berlin. a small club with big ambitions. while the plaza. this is a to go up and axes and to go up. the next is

a low victoria currently play in germany's 3rd tier, but they're aiming to be in the bundis league within 5 years. the whole idea kind of came from the fact that berlin doesn't have subordinate legal team, which is strange. and i think also said for a city that calls itself like the sports capital of germany, victoria or trailblazer is in german football. they're 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 lega. 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 blended sleva. earlier we spoke to john, you are so loaner who as well as working for the w sports also happens to play for victoria. berlin herself. we asked if victoria have what it takes to make the jump to germany's top flight. well, as a player, i really want to say in 2 years will be in the win is they got, 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. when you hear the word investors, you think somebody came and dropped millions of years on a team. it's not exactly like that. 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 sustainable project in berlin. this is daniel barcelona. this begin earlier in germany's top soccer league, when young berlin are the talk of the country with over a quarter of the season, played the set top of the league above giants like by your endorsement. but with that position comes increased scrutiny, and they've had a lot of that this week after they were paid a visit by a controversial european leader. it's been quite a week in cooper, nick, east. berlin,

on sunday was vicious or noon defended their place at the top of the german table with an away victory over stuttgart. but 2 days later, this porting success was eclipsed by a story of quite another coin when the prime minister of hungary, victor all been turned up on their doorstep for a surprise visit to hungarian international undergoes schafer before releasing this video on social media on yon's home ground used as a backdrop for all bands stage managed publicity, stunt musk up and off excel. it's why we received an official request from the hungarian embassy, who asked us to facilitate a private meeting between their prime minister and a hungarian international football armor. and mac least is a bit. we facilitated it. we obliged the ding hm. and we didn't do anything further . it wasn't an official reception. no one from the clubs board was there. there wasn't any sort of exchange. we just provided the room and facilitated the embassies request. ocean boucher of japan club officials caught off guard by the

criticism of their hospitality towards hungary, controversial p. m. the man whose government was recently condemned by european lawmakers who declared that his country could no longer be considered a full democracy. going on is $542.00 and we call it just say come along. the doors open, head to the 3rd floor and follow the arrows he was brought inside. the player was brought to him and brought back to the changing room. and then afterwards he was seen off, we did all of that on a professional level. there were no board members involved and no further activities even met him, notion that he spoke to the player in hungarian. i don't know what they spoke about . i imagine it was probably football, but on the page on humans form continues to sparkle. a home victory over mileage on thursday night means that that european journey will continue into next year,

sunday, seize them back in action in abundance league against bushy adornment. the club will be grateful, but attention is returning to matters sporting as the sun sets on a turbulent week in which when yo and found themselves in this spotlight for all the roman reasons. it's been a turbulent week. this is it abused. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news followed by the day i proceed with ah, with

to e go africa. a promise of new jobs? well, a new pipeline across uganda. but environmentalists are warning us about the consequences . energy security versus nature conservation,

pin this conflict to ever be resolved. our lives in did leg eco africa. next on t w. o. leo, eternal dynamite and the pillar of sticks and society. a symbol of arbitrary rule. in the struggle for justice. taxes in many ways i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government. but it's also the definition of government because of about taxation has no got the right to levy taxes and the obligation to pay them both inherent in the sovereignty of nation states and their citizens. but what happens when the

power of taxation is undermined? a tax on top of the tax on top of the tax. that's the straw that broke the camel's back. i've been renting forever thinking to myself, when the door going to come crashing down. you pay won't pay taxation and politics starts october 21st on d w ah.
