Custody will look at the iranian government hard line tactics aimed crushing their descent. Ah hello, im terry martin. Good to have you with us. Russian president Vladimir Putin says the call up of Army Reservists he ordered to bolster his forces in ukraine is almost complete. Could 100 claims that more than a, than 2 thirds of 300000 personnel on the call list have already been mobilized. Speaking after a regional summit in context on putting also said, russia does not want to destroy ukraine and theres no need for massive news. Air strengths of the gun. But ukraines recent counter offensive in the south and east has highlight and weaknesses in the russian army. While moscow has enlisted large numbers of civilians, dw killian by our reports, that it doesnt seem able to supply them with enough weapons. Close ammunition or even food with rusty weapons and squalid conditioners of italy. Additional thatll, that threatens with 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. Had to be done. Whats the and these pictures also from telegram allegedly show residence, bringing supplies to a military base and over subarus. Moscows 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 couldnt get any to appear on camera for an interview. When asked why they are going to war, one of them replied, im 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. And he, the end of the majority of russian people are not ready to go to war, even e. But theres a willingness to rely on the governments decisions. It because there is a belief that authorities know better from seeing the people dont think critically. And thus, they dont understand that when the government is using them as cannon fodder wish, ha ha, its 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 or to talk more about russias mobilization were joined now by Dmitri Alper Robert shay security expert based in the u. S. Thanks. Ring with us. Mr. Oper, ervic a president. Putin is now saying that the draft is almost complete the mobilization and that there is, quote, no need now for massive attacks. What do you make of that . One the tax front, its very clear that the russians did not have the precision guided munitions to sustain the rate of fire that we saw in the last couple of days. And he almost a 100 missiles a day at various targets in key of which are not even this restricted targets. Many of them civilian targets, war crimes are being committed with. These strikes is something that russia just cant afford to do for a long periods of time. So theyre clearly trying to conserve munitions. So this is not done out of gesture of good well on mobilization fronts. They may have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, but the problem was training their send you on train, recruits or recruits are trained with just a few weeks of training into this war, commanded by officers are exhausted. That have been on the line for 8 months. Its really dangerous a recipe and unlikely to achieve a successful property. Ok, so youre saying that the mobilization is actually not really going to have a much of an impact on this, on this war effort. And what about the other resources that russia has . It may not have a lot of precision guided missiles left over, but it has a lot of other resources. Does it not . It does. And i dont wanna imply that it will have no effect. I think it will absolutely delay this war. I think it will allow the, the russians to consolidate their front lines and perhaps being able to defend more territory from the were taken by the koreans. But its unlikely to allow them to go on the offensive with these untrained troops and try to retake war of the don boss territories with her son as a parisha that theyve now annex. I think thats going to be very, very difficult for them. And even on the other, munitions, are there indications that they may be running out. Artillery has been key to this conflict on both sides of the, of this war. And when were seen, reports of russia now find artillery shells from north korea. Its Radio Supplies and values that doesnt bode well for their ability to sustain this war over the long term. What about Public Opinion in russia . I know you monitor whats going on there quite closely. Does Vladimir Putin have Public Opinion on his side with respect to this war . You know, when he announced mobilization, this was the 1st time that war really came home to the russian people before that it was something that they wash and Television Something they didnt really pay much attention to some one else, particularly ethnic minorities. What dine in this war, it was not the lead. It was not people in moscow in saint petersburg, that is starting to change with this mobile zation. He still has, i think, very strong, hold on power. I dont think hes in danger of any popular uprisings, any time soon. The repression apparatus in russia is very, very formidable, but hes definitely starting to lose enthusiasm for this war. As people are starting to sacrifice personally for it. I spoke to one analyst earlier this week who suggested that Ukrainian Forces will push through to crimea by the end of this year. Do you think thats a realistic assessment . I think thats incredibly optimistic. I think this war is gonna continue for at least another year. Perhaps even longer, and i think god, the koreans are very far from making progress into crimea. Dmitri alper of, its just purely expert based in the u. S. Thank you so much. You. Well for several days now, russia has been launching air strikes across ukraine. But one incident in keith through many peoples attention and was shared a lot on social media. You may remember seeing these images of this glass, pedestrian bridge, a key of landmark and the blast that nearly destroy it. And the solitary figure who had a very lucky escape in that incident.

The moment the hi lo was lucky. Wonderful with us. Yes, that was standing at the other side of the bridge. Opposite the explosion near that bench over and the pressure away from the explosions 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. Workers are repairing the rest of the damage.

Turkeys parliament has passed a controversial media law people deemed to be spreading. This information could be jailed. President ones governing party and its nationalist allies pushed through the legislation. The bill amends press and social media laws. The government says the aim is to combat the fake news and disinformation critic sphere the law will be used to suppress democracy and free speech. Well turkeys president , russia type out one had already restricted freedom of speech in the country. Now, media Rights Groups are warning that the latest provisions will limit press freedom even more. That this information law designed by our on and his inner circle is the versed attack on press freedoms in turkey, not only press freedoms, but free speech in turkey because it will give the governments just and other pollard and other tools that can be arbitrarily used against journalists and anyone who is just wise in their opinion on, especially on social media. Well, its cross straight over to our correspondent in istanbul, julia han you earlier. How are journalists in turkey reacting to the new restrictions . How could this affect your work as a journalist . Fellow reporters here in turkey, tell me they are now bracing for a fresh government crackdown on independent journalism and freedom of expression. This time specifically targeting Digital Media. They also say that they think the timing of this so called dis information law is no coincidence. It is aimed at silencing criticism, they say in the run up to next years elections here in turkey, which are widely seen as the most difficult campaign, reggie tie of ad one has ever faced in his nearly 20 years in power. Now of course, this is an entire legal package. It establishes many new rules for social media companies, for example. But many here are particularly concerned about one provision you just mentioned. It stipulates up to 3 years in jail for people, a journalists, but also ordinary social media uses who are deemed to have spread misleading Information Online about turkey. Security, for example, with the intention quote to create fear and disturb public order. Now, critics say this is basically giving the authorities more power to arbitrarily arrest and jail people and that this will as a consequence, lead to even more self censorship here in the country. Okay, so a new law there could see people jail per spreading, so called fake news or dis information. But youll hear who defines what this information is in turkey. This is actually one of the major complains brought forward by local and International MediaRights Groups by opposition law makers as well, who have staged protests in parliament in recent days trying to stall the entire voting process on this package. They say the law does not clearly define what fake news or are what dis, information is. Thus, basically, leaving it open to abuse in a country that has already severely limited freedom of speech, where the government controls most of a broadcast and print media where the judiciary is highly politicized. And some are even drawing comparisons with the russian laws with rushes cracked down on freedom of speech. Much of turkeys media last clip is already controlled by the government tuleya. So why does it need another dis, information or or the turkish government has been arguing. It is necessary to fight this information and fake news, particularly on social media of president. Edwin once said that he is trying to protect. Let me quote him here vern horrible segments of society from rising digital fascism and fake news. So this is a narrative, the government has been pushing for quite some time. They also argue that other European Countries also have laws that regulate social media. But here in turkey, the concern is how is this law . How are these laws being implemented . And many critics here say that Digital Media have been one of the last remaining strongholds of free speech youtube instagram. Twitter are very popular with young people here in turkey and his and it is that kind of free speech. The government now seeks to control in order to remain in power. That is the argument jojo, thank you very much for now. Our correspond jojo her in is symbol. European unions Foreign Policy chief usa barrel has called on a ran to end its crackdown on anti government. Protests Security Forces have again fired on demonstrators official attempts to end. The protests of failed to deter thousands from taking to the streets. The death of a young woman held by around so called Morality Police has set off weeks of unrest. Ah, gunshots us out. A Shopping Center in the hut of the head on police and militia dispersed a group of demonstrators somewhere isolated and arrested. Also in take it on passers by, try in vain to protect a young demonstrator who was facing an arrest police pull him to the ground, threatening his help as with pointed weapons. Regardless of the risks, the protest against the law mc leadership in iran are continuing according to reports, protests took place in at least 19 cities in iran on wednesday the repeated chance death to the dictator protests are said to be particularly violent in the province of kurdistan. Eye witness said, police and militia were targeting, demonstrate as with life, ammunition activists reported for dest, tuesday night alone. This would raise the number of victims to more than 200. Among them 20 children and young people, irena and president abraham had a c at a conference, calls austin with russian president , putin and turkish president. At dawn, repeat at the official narrative. Just go to school with the protest are being controlled by foreign countries. Enact got to pay in our Community Since the americans have failed with her policy of sanctions and militarization, the nurse washington and his allies, ornell, resorting to a policy of destabilization. What im, you know, i am all the iranian traditionally has announced even harsher punishment against demonstrators. Thousands are set to have already been detained without legal assistance. Lawyers who are protesting against this and take it on, were dispersed with tear gas. At least 4 of them were arrested and joining me in the studio as d. W corresponded theresa trapper who has reported extensively from iran. Good to see you. Teresa. M, as you know, well no press freedom is restricted in irans, so do we have really have a clear picture of whats happening there right now . No, not at all. Filming or taking pictures in iran is very hard at the moment. Its very risky. You, whoever it is that tries, or whether its a journalist to protest or any other person. And you, if youre caught, you will be beaten, you will be jailed or even worse. So thats very hard. And then even if you were brave enough to do that, you have to upload it somewhere to social media to send it to somebody thats also very dangerous. And then in the end, it also has to make its way into International News coverage, which also doesnt always happen because its kind of hard to verify these videos. Considering the fact that there are hardly any correspondence on the ground anymore. And because the one ukraine is taking so much attention internationally at the moment, so im very sure we havent seen the full scale of these protests or the correct on on them protests. So they dont seem to have a central leader. Women, however, are playing a major role fed up with a society where their rights are severely restricted. Lets have a closer look. This is what outraged looks like in iran. People who feel they have nothing left to lose 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, were at, and anyone who doesnt, doesnt need to. Iran is a religious state and the official interpretation of shia islam relies on a fundamentalist view of womens and mens 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, but rather the senior melissa have blamed the west for the protest movement. But that hasnt stopped and widespread chances, woman, life freedom that have been ringing out across the country. Now women appear to be leading these protests. Were seeing a lot of women out on the streets there, but men are also participating. Is that significant . Theresa . Absolutely. And it shows that its not only the had teach up all the discrimination against women in general. That is a topic in these protests because iranians and especially young iranians had enough of this regime because its just the lack of general human rights and freedom. So yes, to consider that most iranians were born long after the revolution, 9079, and they see on social media other people, their age are on the world live and they want the
