ah, we ask why? because education makes the world more just i make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. ah ah, this is b w. news live from berlin tonight. vladimir putin says that russia does not want to destroy you. great boon says there is no need for more massive air strikes, but towns and cities across ukraine continued to come under attack. and people say

they've nowhere left to ha. also coming up to night, british prime minister lives and trust scrapping, tax cuts and sacking her finance. she says she's hoping to calm unraveled financial markets by those measures and anger over a controversial new media law. in turkey, the government says it's going to stop fake news. critics, a warning to the legislation will simply silenced dissenting voices. ah, i'm burned, gone to our viewers watching a p p as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome, president. vladimir putin of russia says his country does not want to destroy ukraine, and that there is no need for massive new air strikes. but the bombardment of ukraine, it's not over yet. while scale has been carrying out a campaign of high intensity strikes on towns and cities for the past 5 days,

and you creates people, they say that they have no where left to ha more destruction. my desperation separate asia faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks, the clean up will be massive. moves my just to let you know what i can tell you it originally. we got used to the missile strikes 1st to the only thing she said, we are told to hide it of hide with. we don't have any place to hide nearby, but while he can't hide in the cellar with it because you'd be trapped by debris and no one will find you to regard for. so we go outside and we whiten till the saga. does fresh missile strike and support easy as part of a continued barrage. but russian president vladimir putin says the high intensity attacks in ukrainian cities will not continue. you might see it and there is no need for massive strikes at least for now. he just will see from there no of them

didn't put in also declared his massive mobilization of russian troops is almost complete. moved away with hon to this work or go mobilization is coming to an end already. no voice as of now 222000 of the mobilized, already joining the armed forces of the 300000. i believe that within 2 weeks about 2 weeks from your mobilization activities, he will be completed to build the ocean. meanwhile, in the rating of her son, russia is urging civilians to leave the area, but who feel the presence of a large number of civilians makes it difficult for the military to maneuver and most likely, shall we say it's dangerous for life from living. in recent days, ukraine has retaken much of the russian occupied cats on reach, and key affairs they call for the civilian avocation in the region could precede an escalation in russian attacks. earlier i asked military analyst sam ben did what

he makes of putin calling off more massive strikes on ukraine. 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 cause international condemnation and really have not stop. 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 the public anger over conscription? quite possibly, there's been a lot of anger. there's been a lot of public condemnation, a lot of video 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, you know, 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. 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 and newly mobilized forces. but these are not the same quality forces that went through the combat in the for 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 analysts, sam had been, it's given us excellent analysis on this friday. sam, thank you for several days now. russia has been launching year strikes across ukraine. one incident in keep stood out and was viewed the world over. now you may remember seeing these images right here, this glass, pedestrian bridge, which is a key landmark, and the blast that nearly destroyed it. and you see right there, the solitary figure you had a very lucky escape. will our correspond mathias, brilliant. he managed to track down the man, the man on the bridge. every morning before work who hi 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.

i was standing on that balcony over there. it was 18 minutes past 8 in the morning. that was the day put in launch more than 80 misses at ukraine surveillance cameras called the mon the high low was lucky, wonderful as us. yes, it was. stand and get the other side of the bridge. opposite the explosion near the bench. and the pressure away from the explosion went underneath the rock and he just next to the bridge on the walkway in department. 3 days later, the greater the rocket left has already been filled in. work is repairing the rest of the damage. the bridges slightly damaged and closed off to the public. the no. hey man, you're famous now. the video of him on the bridge when wires great to be

recruited and wish you a guardian angel says he has recovered from the little so be so you just started a value life more. you understand that you need to live every day to the fullest and not to put things off until later that it's cleared up in the boy him there forever. just after the bloss, he went to his office like any other day. the british prime minister list tries to de sacked, her finance minister in scrapped planned tax cut and trust as aiming to calm financial markets. worried by the government's economic plans. another political earthquake shaking london not even 50 days in office. and prime minister least

trust has already sacked her most important loyalist finance minister quasi quoting . i have acted decisively to day because my priority is in showing all countries 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 talks 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 half what i have done to day is made sure. the we have e can all mixed ability. in this country,

form a foreign minister, jeremy hunt now takes over britain's finances. trust says she will scrap some of the plant tax cuts. this is unlikely to reassure her conservative party. she herself might to be pushed out next or critic say you lose trust sacked. her finance minister to save herself. i asked our london corresponded bergen moss, if quasi quartering, if he was the fall guy here, 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 were responsible for this budget that caused so much hammer on the market. they're definitely also bore their handwriting of less 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 at

least trust was as responsible as, as quality quoting for the tamara 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 less trust have in her own party. at the moment. this trust has made too vagueness takes. one, was announcing these peck's carts that than the financial markets were judging to be unfunded. all se judged by the british public to be earned away toned deaf and her cost of living crisis to announce tax cuts for the riches and society. so that was her fast, 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 web. 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 to 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 must in london, bigger. thank you. raining activists have watched online appeal calling for fresh nationwide protests after or against rather the clerical leadership of the movement triggered by gina masa means death has now entered

a 5th week. a new social media video shows people in the southeastern city of zyden, chanty anti government sluggers. the supreme leader, ayatollah hominy says that no one should think that they can of root the islamic republic. the demonstrations are not dying down despite a crack down that has killed dozens. and though the projects do not seem to 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's rules on dress for women. and that someone had to die for breaking them. in my opinion, 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 mullahs have blamed the west for the protest movement. but that hasn't stopped the wide spread chancey woman life freedom that have been ringing out

across the country. earlier today, our washington bureau, g venus bowl spoke with the u. s. under secretary of state for civilian security, democracy and human rights, and asked her what could be done from a u. s. t. perspective to support iran's for gestures. the united states is to take a number of concrete actions to support the iranian people peaceful protestors who are showing tremendous courage in demanding their universal human rights. for one, we have swiftly moved to impose costs on those who were perpetrating this brutal crackdown which involves not only the killing and maiming of peaceful protesters, including students, young girls and young boys, but also the arrest of scores of journalists act to this cultural figures.

as part of this ever widening violent crackdown. so we move swiftly to sanction the so called morality police responsible for the death of 22 year old master nini, who's, who's tragic death set off this erosion of public outrage. but we've also sanctioned the minister of interior responsible for the widening crackdown, the minister of communications, who has overseen the disruption of internet access to nearly 80000000 iranians. on that final note, we have moved decisively to issue a general license general license d 2 from the department of treasury, which is allowing american service providers to offer new tools, new platforms to the iranian people. so they can, can, can you to communicate with one another and communicate with the world to shine a light on what's really happening on the ground or turkey's parliament to has

passed a controversial new media of all people deemed to be spreading dis, information could be put in prison, the government says that it wants to stop fake news and misrepresentation of critics say that this law will be used to suppress democracy in free speech. telephone, those author, gnashing a phone with a hammer to protest, a controversial law, and people rocker by sent out a warning. thank you lou. you have only one freedom left the smartphones in your pocket, which have instagram facebook. youtube, which you can communicate with. today is october, the 12th, if the law passes in the parliament, you can break your phones and throw them away like this. but the bill, which was proposed by the ruling a k party founded by president regis play a board 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 or what any of those words mean and the legal term, sir, because said there's no definition of anxiety. i to fear a panic, for example, are under a 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 aka parties control if 90 percent of press have landed it into 100 and 49th rank. among a 180 countries unimpressed freedom indexed 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 nail to the coffin of press freedoms. in turkey, it gives complete the arbitrary power to add on and his man are to restrict free speech to jail people, including journalists, and also to remove content from from digital media, which remains as 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. if a more now i'm joined by good, he lives, he is a researcher on turkey for amnesty international in london. mystery of this is good to have you. with us. we know what's happened in the past decade or so to the media inter he admitted has been systematically put under the reins of the government

under the state. i mean, is there any more left to do in terms of silence seeing descent in the media inter well, as you describe, the situation is already bad, but this new law can actually cause a dramatic change for the worse. so an amnesty international is very clear that this law is not compliant with international human rights standards. so there the, there are many problematic articles in this legit new legislation, but this at the center of them. there is an article called article $29.00, which makes a new brings it actually create a new criminal offense that any person who publicly disseminates entering formation and either for the sole purpose. so create panic, and if in a manner likely to disturb public peace could be sentenced imprisonment from one to 3 years. so there are 3 components here. one is the entry information of false

information, which is not just described or it defined well in this law at all. and so it will actually turn the court and that will give the courts all the discretion and took a course will turn into institutes of truth, almost not in the legal sense, but also in the epistemological sense. what is true, what is not, and such, blanket prohibition is on, you know, dissemination or disseminating information is using way, concepts, like entre information false information or panic. these are all incompatible. the international standards require states to use the least restrictive measure to as such, in a specific purpose or what about any challenge to this, i understand the turkish opposition. what to do to appeal all the way up to the country's top court trying to get this legislation thrown out are but it does it. if i'm reading you correctly doesn't sound like that there are chances of succeeding a very good actually this law doesn't only or either violates international law,

but also took his own constitution. so actually in an enamel though, the conditions, the constitutional court, i mean it's, it's likely that constitutional court will decide that it is not compliant. it's all, obviously, both the, you know, council of europe and european court of human rights cast a doubt on the independence of judiciary in turkey. and we don't even need them to see how government actually unduly interferes in the in court affair. so there's this, there could be a political pressure, but if the constitutional court read its own judgements previously on freedom of expression, there's no way they can allow this law to, to, to stay. and this is also happening in the context of upcoming elections. that's why, oh, that's an additional reason why the opposition wants to challenge this. so, you know, they've been in similar prohibitions,

but this is actually much worse than that before. and where does this didn't leave journalist on working and reporting for jerky. while journalism as yours, the other guests in the package we've heard is under extreme pressure already. so according to reporters without borders, for example, 90 percent of turkey's broadcasted media are under control of the government. and the turkey doesn't have a strong objective and human rights sensitive media anyway, even without it. but before the government cracked on 3 door expression, but slowly journalists, we started utilizing a social media to create independent voices and independent and objective journalism. and this led law explain. the unit is extreme threat on that, that area. and not only journalist actually did it any member of the public. so

there it could be some laws which are, which could be in good, under a good government under and human rights comply, human rights sensitive government. this law would be bad in an under any government because people wouldn't know whether they can keep safe if they don't want to get into trouble or, you know, politically criticize government. they can still be charged under this law. good, your needs with amnesty international. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thanks around. it's time now to take a look at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. 5 people have been killed in a shooting in 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 action on gun control. 3 center right parties are forming a new coalition government in sweden. now the swedish moderates leader auth krista
