[000:00:00;00] he won't pay taxation and politics don't october 21st on d w ah, ah, there's a d, w. news live from berlin. despite the current onslaught. vladimir putin says russia does not want to destroy ukraine. put in claims. there's no need for more massive ass strikes. but towns and cities across ukraine remain under attack,

and residents say they have nowhere left to hide. also coming up, british prime minister list trust scraps the tax plan and sacks of finance chief. she's hoping to end weeks of turmoil in the financial markets. ah, i'm told me your logic. well, welcome to the program president vladimir putin says russia does not want to destroy ukraine, and that is no more immediate plans to continue. the massive air strikes carried out earlier this week. he added that beyond going mobilization of reservists will be complete in 2 weeks. moscow as large a campaign of in of high intensity strikes in towns and cities for the past 5 days, leaving many ukrainians helpless. modest jackson more

desperation. separate asia faces another round of shelling. after days of continued attacks. the clean up will be massive. mooresville just to let you know what i can tell you previously we got used to the missile strikes 1st to the only thing is we are told to hide, hide where we don't have any place to hide nearby. but when you can't hide in the cellar, go because you be trapped by debris and no one will find you to record for so we go outside and we wait until the saga. this 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 in my seat 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 unable to this work or go mobilization is coming to an end already . no risk as of now 222000 of the mobilized, already joining the armed forces of the 300000. i believe that within 2 weeks, about 2 weeks in all mobilization activities in will be completed. the mission. in recent days, ukraine has free taken much of the russian occupied have san reach and falling, those land gains. russia is now arching civilians to leave harrison who for 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. lou. key affairs, the call for the civilian avocation in the region could precede an escalation in russian attacks. for more, let's turn to security analyst joseph syrians, yoni. he is with the quincy institute and washington. thank you for joining us now . president putin says there's no need. now for massive strikes in ukraine,

what do you make of that? yeah, well, he's putting the best to spin on a very bad situation. one quick correction, i'm no longer with the quincy institute. i left that institute over their position . i'm failing to support ukrainian people in this war, but here's proven trying to pretend that he's accomplished his objectives. when in fact, he's like almost everything else he's done in this war. he has achieved the opposite of what he has intended. he didn't achieve any military objectives with his strikes . as you reported, the ukrainian forces are advancing in the north and in the south. they may soon liberate here, shon, that's why the russians are retreating from that major city history tactic is to try to terrorize the ukrainian people and there was a yes, it is terrifying to be under these attacks, but he hasn't broken the will of ukrainians to resist if anything, they're more determined. here's the real reason he's ending those strikes. he's

running out of precision guided munitions. you have to understand how strange this strategy is. he's using very expensive, highly precise, medium range weapons to put pot holes in playgrounds to hit electric power plant by some western estimate. he has exhausted 70 percent of those weapons are ready. he doesn't have enough weapons to continue these strikes. that's why he's stopping. what about with a troop mobilization that's going on? he's is still having a more is service join and he says that should be complete in 2 weeks. what do you think this means for the conflict? well, again, of a positive spin, he controls the media space in russia and he understands. he has a major problem with this mobilization by some estimates, 2 or 3 times. as many russian men have fled the country, then have been pressed into service at the front lines. we believe that the accurate estimate is correct about 200000 conscripted. about $16000.00 of those are

in the front lines, and you are already seeing casualties, including a story of a poor 26 year old who worked for the mayor of moscow who was just sent to the front 10 days ago and was killed in battle yesterday. poorly trained, poorly on so far, this mobilization again is not achieving his military objectives. and of course, as a threat of russia deploying nuclear weapons, and this will, which continues to worry. many people, but french president emanuel cron recently said that if that were to happen, france would not respond with nuclear weapons. what do you think of this approach? yeah, i agree with mar crohn's statement for several reasons. number one, if prudent is insane enough to cross this line, to use a nuclear weapon, you do not want to compound the error. you do not want to use nuclear weapons in response and make it acceptable, make it normal to use nuclear weapons in conventional combat. we're better than that,

and here's the other part. we don't need to do it. the west has many more options to respond to even a nuclear attack of i vladimir putin with non nuclear means. we have conventional weapons in great numbers that are highly precise, great intelligence to spot the targets. we could destroy much of the you could, you rush an army in ukraine would conventional means alone. plus we have major economic diplomatic cyber psychological responses that we could put to put in that the truth is we just don't need to have a nuclear response. the president of france is correct. not security analysts, joe syringe, jani. thank you very much for speaking to us. thank you for having me on time now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. an explosion of the coal mine in knolls and turkey, has killed at least $22.00 workers and left dozens more trapped underground. rescue

efforts already underway at the scene with several injured miners able to crawl out the cause of the blast is not yet clear. 2 brothers have admitted to the 2017 cobble mud of maltese anti corruption journalist, daphne corona. caledonia. the pair were sentenced to 40 years in prison after unexpectedly changing their please to guilty on the 1st day of their trial. it is a killing spot, international outcry and mass protest that eventually forced a prime minister to resign. climate protesters have thrown soup over vincent van gogh masterpiece sunflowers activist, defaced the work at london national gallery to protest against the u. k. government and investments in fossil fuel projects, police arrested to people for trespassing and criminal damage. in mom, british prime minister liz trust her sacked her finance minister and scrapped to planned tax cuts trousers 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 list trust has already sacked him most important. loyalist finance. minister quality, quieting. i've 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 truss 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 faulted. 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. trust says she will, scraps some of the plans, tax cuts. this is unlikely to reassure her conservative party she herself might to be pushed out. next. iranian activists have launched an online appeal, calling for fresh nationwide protests against the clerical leadership. the movement triggered by my ha masa, i mean, he's death as now entered a 5th week. and you social media video shows people in the southern city of zahid, dan chanting, anti government slogans: photo, supreme leader, ayatollah ali combination as no one should think they can approve these la mic republic. the demonstrations are not dying down despite the crackdown that has

killed dozens. and though the protest don't seem to have a single leader, women are playing a major role. 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 man,

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 chances. woman, life freedom that have been ringing out across the country. harry potter star robbie coltrane has died at the age of $72.00 scottish actor was known around the world for his role as gentle half giant ruby as hagrid. and the hugely popular film series based on j rollings books go trains for decade. korea

even the vehicles positioning in the city is meaningful theory out of the marianna can i'm, is he with town vaughn and the libraries of symbols of knowledge on politics. and because of smoldering here in waiting for risk and response with people looking at the details and it might go for very the stories of people. luckily, escape the war. the installation is one of over a dozen illuminating landmarks across prague during the signal festival. a 4 day showcase of the visual arts and technology, the 10th anniversary edition features, eco friendly, low energy lights and lasers. the organizers hope it will inject some levity into the increasing lameness of 2022. i think the light symbolizes hope.
