this documentary is a never before friday i came in tree ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin international women's day turns the spotlight on women's struggles around the globe. if someone who doesn't think like me or dress like me doesn't have freedom, then i don't have freedom either. in iran, many women say they are seeing some more liberties on the streets for the transition is very much a work in progress. also coming up rushes,

a bug in that group claims it has control of large parts of the eastern ukrainian city of buttonwood. this despite, keeps claim that it is doubling down on its defense of the city. class in the champions league by and munich gets sent to host patty sandra at home. the bavarian have a slightly bit p s g is out to settle the school. ah, i mean, you could make an and welcome to the show, the 8th of march marks international women's day. now this is not only an opportunity to celebrate women and the progress they've made, but also an opportunity to highlight the struggles and the dangerous women around the globe still face iran. for example, many women say they have made significant gains in the past few that they stress

that situation is still very dangerous. for some, we have this exclusive report from terran and have blood the faces of people appearing in this report for their own safety. this would have been impossible just 6 months ago, walking distress up to her on in your own choice of clothing. now it's not an uncommon sight any more like this university student, many women are taking dairies, but it's still against the law. so to talk about it, we go inside peggy's eog ward a, there were many reactions to me not wearing that he jap people looking at me pulling faces or even coming up and insulting me. you're merely ating me, all very kindly and sentimentally advising me on what they consider right now. but my biggest achievement from that period was that i became normal in the eyes of those around me in what didn't go hats off you on

a one on one of the show here in von of to transpose shopping malls. it's playing to see women varying whatever they want in friendly coexistence, refusing to be divided by to slammed republics ideology, no matter what they've chosen for themselves. personally, manny says, i'm going to do them that this is how i show my religious identity to people. i'm fine with this, i'm comfortable. but i think that if i don't fight for the individual, freedom of the person sitting next to me, i'm actually destroying freedom. has been really bad. if someone who doesn't think like me or dress like me doesn't have freedom, then i don't have freedom either. because freedom is not for anyone. if it's not for everyone, i also think about him and i wish about history. and so in the past 5 months, many religious women have joined to protest as well as men not fighting against a job, but for freedom, equality and the right to choose. it's to mandatory her job that they see as

a tool for oppressing them in a draw. i personally would not whether you just a joke, sat in my opinion, this practice of not wearing. it doesn't just mean that we are now physically. freya, also are those if you are in the hallway, it's actually a form of resistance. and the issue of the job has taken on a special meaning. crazy wadell not a my son is a special meaning most people hearing to ron seem to either share or at least no longer mine. highlighting that the rift is not among iranians, but between them and their leaders. i spoke to freedom of expression research and iran x, but mazda ali, madonna, who's from the oxford internet institute,

she says, the islamic republic is waging and information war to down play. it's cracked down on women's rights activists. a few weeks ago, the united nations human rights council opened with iran's foreign minister who outright denied the events that have happened since september. he denied that peaceful protesters had been killed or arrested, or persecuted in any way. so that information warfare is at play. they are down playing the way that they have been treating women. they have been making efforts to distract the prop public a few months ago. you know, they let out some news that they were removing the morality police. and of course, this was a untrue statement. as you know, women were continue continuously being persecuted, arrested. they have been developing new technologies to be more efficient, morality police using surveillance technologies to arrest and ticket women who don't wear proper job. so it is very much an effort to appear as if everything is

fine, and this is very much a campaign that the islamic republic has underway to resettle things both internally and externally against them. so you've spoken about these anti government protests that have been taking place for months now in iran. should you tell us how well is this protest movement doing in, in keeping the iranian people aware of its, if its aims and its messages and its message to the world? well, you know, like we've pointed out, women have been at the forefront of the struggle and there have been some incredible women's voices from inside iran who have declared this is a revolution from now. streams to today the human rights lawyer who has been in and out of jail for years. now i guess mohammed the in fact now i guess mohammed to mark international women's day, put out a statement from jail outlining know the massive costs that women have been paying

inside jail, outside of jail, to stand against this regime and the fight continues. so it is a very clear desire to and you know, this system of, you know, some might say gender apartheid, this system of human rights abuses of corruption and poverty that the islamic republic is very much undertaking against its own people. and the struggle continues. and the message is very clear, especially from these very well known women who have paid such heavy as such a heavy price even before the genome massa, a mi ni uprising began in september, massa alley mcdonny from the oaks, had internet. and she thank you so much for taking the time, speak to us today. now the russian wagner paramilitary organization is claiming that it has captured the eastern part of ukraine's embattled city abutment. the city has been at the center of intense fighting over the past several weeks,

despite military expert saying it has little strategic value to russia. ukrainian, president of a lot of men, lensky has said. the army is determined to defend the city. and that losing it could give the russians a road into the rest of easton ukraine. i asked our correspondent, amen as safe who is in keep what he's heard about. the wagner groups claims that it is in control of the eastern part of back moot. ukraine has not confirmed this. what they have said previously is that there is street fighting between ukrainian russian troops, which implies that the russians do have control of at least some of the city. and now military analysts, as well as some ukrainian troops have told media that they believe the fall of bark moved to russia is inevitable. zalinski has been very adamant in denying this said that his military headquarters are unanimous in their decision to continue to defend bar mood and to even send reinforcements. now reinforcements would also be

needed if you crane wanted to initiate a tactical retreat from the city. that's because only one road remains open to them to flee that city. that's the road heading west, which if russia captures it in zalinski, has made this point. russia would be in control of that road and this heads to more populated and more strategically important cities like cromer tours and slower yards. so that would be a major drawback for ukraine. k a u n. secretary general antonio terrace is in key eve right now. can you tell us what can we expect from his meeting with the ukranian president today? his main goal here is to protect green shipments out of the black sea on behalf of vulnerable countries that depend on these shipments. if you remember, at the beginning of the war, green shipments were stuck there in the black sea because of fighting going on. and gutierrez, as well with the help of turkey negotiated a deal that would protect ships coming through out of the black sea. this prevents

the price of grain from spiking which has directly led to hunger crises, in a lot of countries, especially in the global south. so that's his main aim here, but what's also significant is that he didn't go to moscow before and he doesn't plan a trip to moscow after. so this is sending a signal at least to ukraine, to zalinski that he's also coming as a friend. the w correspondent, i mean, s eith in achieve, thanks so much that. i mean, let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world. police and demonstrators have classed, and george's capital tbilisi protests were taking place against a government bill. the critic se would restrict free speech if enacted into law, the bill would force media companies and, and jeers to register. any links they have with entities outside of georgia, e. u has condemned the legislation. residents in the central philippines have reported nausea and dizziness in villages close to the location of
