as continues despite concessions to far ra lawmakers, the coffee is the 1st candidate in a century to faith is chosen. this is dw news from berlin for more news and analysis. you can always go to a website to be found at d, w dot com. after more than 10 months of relentlessly pounding ukraine, destroying vital infrastructure and killing thousands of innocent civilians, vladimir putin has ordered his troops to hold fire. not for good that is for 36 hours to mark orthodox christmas. his decision follows an appeal by the head of the orthodox officials in ukraine are unimpressed to them. there can be no truce with russian troops illegally occupying their territory, caves lambs, the move as propaganda and says moscow can keep it to parker see to itself. i'm to call for the him, berlin, and this is the day ah,

so, we talked about the war between russia and ukraine in detail. dogs, we see that russia has mobilized many new soldiers around 200000. that they have shown a great willingness to tolerate losses and suffering for these. and so far and you credit for the orthodox christmas, $106.00. have you heard about your reactions or respond also coming up around, attains a prominent shaft known for promoting persian cooking. now above abraham, he has reportedly was them to the taste of the authorities as iran was marking the anniversary of an army commanders death and a u. s. drones strike president vladimir putin has ordered a unilateral 36 hour truce in his country's war on ukraine. the cease fire will

take place from the 6th to the 7th of jane after an appeal from the head of the russian church patriarch curial. in while the turkish president is hoping to facilitate a moral unilateral cease fire, he contacted both the russian president and later president zalinski by telephone or dawn, offered to mediate what he described as a lasting peace. the turkish leader has made several such offers. in the past and was instrumental and negotiating, a landmark deal that allows ukraine to export millions of tons of grain of a truce with food and calling rushes announcement hypocrisy and demanding a full withdrawal from ukraine's occupied territories. mikaela polak and impossible to make a deal with the russian federation. answering that under the word talks prudent expect ukraine and the world to recognize it's right to seize foreign territory. he concludes it's fully an acceptable,

a sentiment shared by many ukrainians. we'll deal with this, shall we believe, the navy move booth and on the other hand, they want to present themselves as lane perfect. the war against blood spilling beauty for one they will, but they should be judged by their act mutual. i think this is not a hypocrisy spiritual a little here. near condition of rural. on the 21st of december, there was no peace when we were bombed on new year's eve, yet those were so let's, it's hypocrisy on put inside a group of brooke, rossi. web york go was didn't raska blue. this is just a wants to in the conflict of what to do without actually doing any figure. good or unusual. so this is all the lie. once again, in my opinion, more and we knew above martin, i suited more of the androids and other way pennies slightly. lots of talk of our let's do that with dr. jayden. glenn. she's a senior researcher at the monterrey initiative in russian studies in oxford. and where she joins me now, poxy and propaganda. what do you make of n?

i agree with the koreans and the ticket was days, voices that you that you just interviewed. agree to the ceasefire. one because it's not in their interests right now. their interest being of course, to save as many people as possible from from much rational occupation and execution . scott. secondly, i do think it's impossible to believe the russians. there's been a litany of a failed ceasefire since the conflict originally began in 2014, but also you've instances full scale invasion, for example, in mary pull back in march and the russians agreed as he's fire and then showed the refugee convoys heard. i think that this even the author of those, he's fine. now, this is part of the sort of russian propaganda drive the idea that russians and ukrainians are both one people. and therefore they celebrate christmas on a different day. however, now increasing the particularly this year, ukrainians are starting to larry christmas on the 25th of december,

just to create even more distance between themselves and russian culture. huge, of course, is, is industry picking up their children, destroy their coach, and tries to freeze them to their show, their critical infrastructure, and then demand the sci fi, if they work on that much, they're welcome to leave the fire and carol's call is russia going to go ahead with it unilaterally. thing i think they probably will, and we need to think about will that she means mapping to unilateral sci fi would be rather partial. because whilst if we look at the actual wedding, putin has a more to show you is an army, is not the only ones fighting. yours have precautions. back by, can you see the back? no mercy reason, the chechen fighters of chechen brigades, and of course you have the the d n. a elena fight is and already denise michelin, who's the head of the dumbass of the people's republic. sorry, he has already said that is completely out of the question that his forces will be,

will be following any cease fires. so already we can see that fine, perhaps the russian army will be shooting, but is plenty of other of ragtag and see who will be. yeah. and with ukraine not being a part of this very partial. as you explain and unilateral cease fire at will ukraine and of course still try and regain its legitimate territory, even in those 2 days. would that give russia a pretext to paint ukraine and its western supporter as, as the real aggressor? yes, i think it, i think it does, and i think that's part of part of one of the reasons why um it's, it's included and i think the important thing here is, i mean, i appreciate it as a general rule, of course you news that the church of crew, the joy is always better than war war, but at the same point needs to be fought about. i think there are lots of people in

countries who think that it's possible to go back to some sort of status quo that existed in the 23rd of february. but as the to screw is completely chatted, it's not possible to go back that it's not possible to do business with it in order to trust him in any way. so there's not really that much finance draws on and, and perhaps if the stalemate is reached, that that might be a different conversation. but that's not the conversation that we're having now. but president erred office was announced to declare a unilateral cease fire. he talked to the landscape, he talked to putin, and he knows though, that russia's conditions or talks are nonstarter is absolutely for ukraine. so where do you thing he plans to begin mediating as he's offered. i don't know. really important point there your question, which is the given putins on sort of red lines as the pieces they were?

are the ukraine recognize disease? so the for 40 plus chrome years is russian and given the russia never controlled a since i sent you one, any of some hearts of separation. blessone some parts of her. so no glass for example me this is just completely is just completely unrealistic, completely impossible. nobody would agree to that. so really, as long as he's pushing that light, it's very hard to see how he may say on the one side of his mouth. oh yes, american to negotiations. but if that a line from here has hardened considerably as well, we think back to march. so i don't really think anybody's in the mood for making concessions. that said, it's not a bad idea if we think back to the success of the green deal. it is not a bad idea to bring people together to, to, because it was a job, he's going to solve the war a could perhaps. so there's dr. joe mcglenn as always, great speaking to you. thank you and you

ah, about germany and the usa. they are prepared to send armored vehicles to ukraine. berlin will sent martyr infantry fighting vehicles and a patriot missile system to help you terminate has been under mounting pressure to deliver battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. long sought by cave, especially after france agreed to supply light tanks to ukraine. yet of key of the alliance, as chief says, he believes there's been no change. and vladimir putin, his goal to take over ukraine in stoughton burg, told an audience and his native norway. sure, the reality of mars, so the reality is good. but if we want a peaceful, negotiate solution than what you crank and remained an independent democratic nation in europe, iraq, we have to support ukraine now. always stop growing model weapons or the road to peace, hard volume till free up. although it is dangerous to become dependent on authoritarian

regimes, it is about our security. business is also politics are also politic. the garden, this hall is a more dangerous world, and it is even more important that we order that we believe in democracy and freedom will pull, stand together over the earth, store, salmon. and i can now speak to christine, busy not going to see thornburg says weapons are the way to peace. now that france, the u. s. and germany are providing armored vehicles and a patriot missile system development to get to a reality that is better for ukraine, which is necessary to get to the ocean table at the end. and those remarks discussion of the fact that yes, most wars and that the negotiate negotiating table, but it's important for ukraine to have successes in order on the bottom. there's a lot of warnings on what he said about having just where it stands right

now. and what's not being said, but what the undercurrent is, is that russia has to lose. that is something that many western leaders people or the world or perhaps less comfortable with us, ukraine should do well. it should have a territory fool, but maybe we don't feel super comfortable with the idea of rush losing. and this is really if false dichotomy, russia needs to lose, so that her national order, after that want military might and power to be the defining feature on the world stage again. and perhaps china, iran, north korea, could be put in that basket. they need to learn a lesson from how rushes ukraine fall out, which means effectively that she needs to lose. goldberg is not using those words, but it's incredibly important for the right lesson to be learned. and this is not just about russia about everybody else, but their doctor gets offered to mediate and reach what erred on is calling a fair piece. turkey in

a very particular position in 2023. there is an important election coming up this year and there was one personally and for his party as well. 7 to wit, at age. so you see here i think a bit of the tension between domestic policy politic really, you know, at the election box. and the big picture as such, to be the defining feature of all nato ally leaders, political decisions and their strategies. but that unfortunately isn't often the case of rain, but how far that goes in each country. and how do personal stakes at personal election outcomes, for example, that they want it has been doing a very good job. i think that it is still fairly coherent. there are these, you know, bubbles that come up across the alliance and here perhaps we're seeing one too. but

we have been with turkey playing a very unusual game, but not for the 1st time. for example, to finish and swedish, to enter nato. turkey seems to be also the out standing country with, with hungry, but turkey wants to be strong in the context of nato and prism area. one think it's very important also for him to get to the both that he needs to show himself as being a strong apps. it's not ideal so far. i don't think it has hurt too much. thornburg touched on a lot of topics today. he also talks about dependency on authors here in states. so mistakes they made with russia. there's a lot of really good rhetoric that we have seen after russia in terms of their or warning signs and you know, in germany, even the titan, venda, and the understanding of maybe it's not just about russia. some of the words are there, but practice really is falling behind. it is of course, very often economically advantageous or convenient. not to think about what you're

buying when you're buying good from an autocratic country, but you're often buying relationships you're buying. perhaps the actor is coming to your country who could have too hot at the same time, you do not think about what could happen to a merger or a partnership down the line that you have been putting lots of new suggestions on the table about how these things should be worked out, but it just opened up to the thing is of course taking the law and putting it on the books. and then and one thing is how do you do this moving forward? thing ok from today, we're going to be more careful with say, chinese investment. but what has already happened in the past few years. and it's going to be difficult for many countries to reason. and in the economic space on critical good materials products as they perhaps would like to be. and then there are as much as many don't burg and others would like. and this of course is

that a complicated matter. excellent analysis, christine present, the german marshal sun. thank you so much for that. thank you. me. almost 4 months after a wave of protest started rocking around, the regime has reportedly detained a prominent chef known for his videos promoting persian cooking, nevada embry, me was arrested and tear on and taken to the cities notorious evan prison. social media user said the arrest coincided with him posting a recipe to make persian cut lead, just as iran marked the 3rd anniversary of the killing of general caught them. so the money from the revolutionary guards by the us. some arrange protesters have been posting images of cutlets in reference to the manner of his killing in the us drone strike in iraq. and this just a day after a rainy on twitter showed her celebrating her release. the oscar award winner was

arrested nearly 3 weeks ago. after criticizing a crackdown on anti government protests, she posted at lee and we can now speak to sun. i'm neurology under laney, she's the founder and ceo of the international civil society action network. good to see you. yesterday tara natalie darcy was released from jail and immediately show that she could not be intimidated. know a job showing the victory sign to she. i think it's certainly very courageous and certainly that sign of defiance. so, and being such a prominent person, it's certainly, you know, it makes the headlines, obviously, so it is about coming out and showing a sort of a message of strength and incredibly courageous of course as well. i mean that this is, this was the way that the regime has always played that, that, you know, people are released and then, and then maybe they're on bail and then they're taken in there's, there's what about the celebrity chef? the fact that we have chefs and directors and actresses and students being arrested,

you know, you, teenagers being arrested and thrown in. and i'm, and i think each of these instances actually gives more fuel and energy to, to the, to the protest movement. what can you tell us about one thing would be connected to the other, doesn't it? well, it's, it's, as you said in the, in the report that, that this, the symbol of the, of the couplets is, is something that has been in the social media sphere. and it's, it's just this very sort of ham handedness of the only tool they seem to have is to, is to threatened and harassed and, and use use threatened violence. and it's a big, it consistently seems to delegitimize them even further. so as you said, you know what the younger generation has seen this, that they've been experiencing it for year 4 months now and they're still out there . and her an alley dusty was held in the notorious evan prison in the brain. and protesters, what do you know about the situation at the prison and the conditions that people

are held in? so a, in talking to some of the, obviously there is, there were some reports it's, it's some, it's still a bit scattered around whether there's a harassment of women protesters, if they don't comply and, and that's something that's really important to be bearing in mind. we've had a number of cases of people coming out with, with obvious signs of sexual violence as well just today at 515 when to strike because they want to have access to their own lawyers and, and a fair judicial process. so these things are ongoing and of course, the other serious concern that everybody has is the sentences of execution that some says that are being handed down. those that are, that are, you know, implicitly could be killed at any moment. and it's, and it's really important to keep the attention on those cases as well as the very long prison sentences that are, that are being issued. these, these are all the concerns that, that are ongoing. and again, have been just a tactics that, that, that the regime is trying to deploy to, to call the,

move the movement. is there enough international pressure, or do you have a sense that, you know, after a 1st wave of solidarity, it is now slowly dying down i to be honest with you, i think the amount map, sorry, the amount of international attention has been quite extraordinary. and it's, you know, not only in the cultural amongst politicians and so forth, obviously, over christmas it died down a little bit, but i think the appetite is there, i think the attention is there. and there's a real reason. i mean, historically we have never had a movement, a revolution that has been galvanizing people across gender and ethnicity and, and sex and so forth on the, on the message iran. and it's really critical to what's happening and you're on. but it also has global resonance. and i think that's what's captured the world's imagination to see these young young people to see these girls out on the streets to see the boys standing site side by side with that with the women. um,

i think the attention is still there and, and we certainly needed to continue to be there. we only have about a minute left, but i do want to ask you about your opinion. we're now almost 4 months and to these protests, where does the regime stand? i think we see it already the, the regime is, is struggling to know what to do. and, and they took a legitimacy question and you know that the legitimacy has been waiting over decades in, in a way and, and now they're dealing with the younger generation that, that's out there. it's, it's across the country in different provinces, and their responses have been so little, so late and, and just extraordinary. mean, you know, over 500 people they have been killed. i'm been in, you know, implicitly in a sense because of, if you're wearing your manager badly, it's not such a big deal. well, these, if they said this 4 months ago, maybe things will be different. but i think that there is a serious issue around the, the regime having lost credibility and legitimacy. and,

you know, and they, they have the tools of violence and they are using their own method of friendship will have to lower their institutionally running out of time on an oregon, under laney, of the international civil society action network. thank you so much. that's our time, 8 am ah, ah, ah, with i make the world a little bit better with t. these entrepreneurs are revising old traditions, organic quality, and as climate friendly as possible. t new ideas for
