Say theyll supply more powerful ad defend systems for keith. The commitment comes with germany, delivers the 1st a full long awaited ab t missile system. And we meet russian jew, this fled to israel to escape Vladimir Putin conscription drive is one of some 6000. 00 russians making use of israels law of return to avoid fighting ukraine plus the film world as its voice and some graphic imagery to the protest in iran over the death of a young woman held by the iranian morality to lease ah, i minute. Mckinnon. Thanks for joining us today. Russia has launched an air offensive on ukraine for the, for straight to a this time targeting the key region with iranian made kamikaze. Drones are people in the ukranian capital woke to the sound of air raid sirens early on thursday. The president s office said Critical Infrastructure was damaged in the attack, as be no comment on potential casualties. Now the attack comes just hours after the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn russias attempts to illegally annex for regions of ukraine. The resolution was supported by 143. 00 countries, while 35. 00 states abstained, including china and india. Extension 30, i asked d. W is funding for char his in keith. If people there see these latest russian strikes as moscows response to the you and vote was very difficult to look into the had of letting me put in why hes doing watch when abs certainly per much every day. Now actually by getting you cities, every dealership keeps cd. Anton, you asked writes in various parts of the country, but before im getting to the details of the fresh attacks in certain parts in ukraine, let me just look at that. You and General Assembly vote and the meaning of it really because the fact the 3 fourths of the un General Assembly voted to condemn the attempted annexation of full sylvan regions basically of ukraine. Namely, a lu, hands, sky, dawn yet scuppered each and hudson region, which are only partially occupied by the way by russia forces. This of course, sends a very strong message to the rural, also in terms of trying to drama more support for ukraine. A message that was happening in and in ukraine is just simply not only illegal, but its against what it, what it means to actually maintain the sovereignty of a country. But of course, we should not re forget all those of countries that abstained from the votes. You have already pointed out china and india, but various african countries as well. Also the i resolution which is non binding. So its not going to, i mean, an end to this will unfortunately, shoes, how much russia is increasingly isolated. However, because aside from russia only less than a handful of friends actually for other countries voted against this resolution. Not surprisingly, of course, one of the strongest allies here a bella roost, but also syria, for example, and those korea. So with regard to the resolution, yes, he sends a strong message to the world with regard to the war. Its not going to end it any time soon. Funny. What else can you tell us about the latest asterix . Once again, ukraine, i was hid this, done not, not by missile attacks, but various a drones drawn attacks. Ukraine claims that these red is so called country casa drones that are supplied by iran. Russia never commented by the way, whether it is drones are coming from iran, regardless according to ukrainian officials. There was quite some damage, a close to key of city about 50 kilometers from here, and theyre pointing at Critical Infrastructure. But im also hearing of that emergence units are on the scene, which would actually indicate that residential buildings may have been here to read or not know yet. We also do not know about number of potentially i injure people or even casualties. So we are monitoring Data Development as well, but what we certainly can a say, and thats also quite very some, its not new because mickle life that, that town in the portal, a part in the southern portal part of ukraine has been here quite a few times but again, a to night its been hit, a residential building was hit, and there also we didnt do not know yet the exact numbers, but this clearly indicates once again, regardless of resolutions, regardless of a Different International meetings. The hor, or really especially for civilians here and ukraine, just goes on. Funny, thanks so much. That sunny for char reporting from keith l they russia claims to be targeting ukraines energy infrastructure. The barrage of strikes that began on monday is also hissing residential areas. The latest escalation means people across the country and now living in a states of highlands, dozens of civilians have been killed. But many more have endued, narrow escapes. Battered bruised and lucky to be alive, slowly, a young girl emerges from whats left of a building destroyed in a Russian Missile attack. Rescue as managing to make a whole just big enough for her to make an escape, followed by her mother and her father. They taken shelter in a cellar during another, as strike on the se city of supper beecher. There is little light relief here in the face of russias escalation in this war. Silent prayers being said here by candlelight at Saint Michaels golden domed monastery in the capital, keith but step outside. And youll find a bleak reminder of the deadly cost of this conflict. A war memorial to ukraines Fallen Soldiers and the constant reminders of the ongoing threat from the skies. I think they can be more dangerous using the ear missiles like like the day before yesterday, the, the used her to hear the Critical Infrastructure in ukraine that she shut down the electricity to shut down the warming and everything on the front line. Its weapons, some ukraines allies that are helping its force is advance. This u. S. Made grenade launcher is being fired at russian positions in the Eastern Region of the next, one of 4, recently illegally annexed by moscow. But to win here, these troops say they need more weapons and fast ukraines president is cranking up the pressure on his european allies. Youve probably seen unless kozora was still living in fear. Or what will russia do . Are still how will put in react off all are to do and what will happen if shes no longer in power or missing him . Would you thought july and how quickly weapons and military support can be delivered to the front lines, strengthening ukraines arm in this fight could now be vital as when 2 approaches. Meanwhile, some 50 countries allied with ukraine have announced deliveries of advanced air defense weapons to keith. They were meeting in brussels alongside a summit of nato defense ministers, his nato secretary general. Yet sultan bug speaking just a short time ago. It is a very Important Message for bern, a brawler saw on quarters on the train with future that he would just look up. We will stand by your grave for us dont positives, rules, football for support on a particular we will provide more air defenses than certain great natos the answer. Now nato defense ministers are now holding their 2nd day of talks with ukraines anti Missile Defense is that top priority for days his country has been attacked from the ear. So its clear what the Ukranian Defense minister once rest nichols appeal on his visit to brussels, came as germany delivered exactly that the 1st. So for air Defense Systems, cold air is t has arrived in ukraine. It can it incoming missiles within a radius of 40 kilometers at a height of up to 20 kilometers yesterday. And so our support of ukraine remains unchanged. And all sham deference or decisions made by the kremlin wont stop us up more help for ukraine as fast as possible. The u. S. Is heading up discussions on how to get this done with around 50 countries, alongside nato nations are also states like japan, australia, tunisia, and kenya, as well as anti aircraft missiles. They want to provide artillery ammunition, and even military clothing for the upcoming winter. Several countries of are working together to expand capacity in a mirror. Industrial british ukraine is not asking for soldiers from any other country. The ukrainians are willing to fight for themselves. All they ask for is the means to do it on thursday to wants to discuss among its members how it can re stock its arms due to extensive a to ukraine, the alliance, his own Weapon Stores are running low. An error i spoke to rough. I lost the Research Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and an expert on nato, and i asked him what finally pushed nato to supply ukraine with edison systems. Well, if you just look at the system that germany did about best day to use the iris t system, then that was an honest by chance i would have shows already in june. There is a long lead time with industry production. Systems that were delivered from germany were originally ordered by egypt, and there was some background of diplomacy to make it available to ukraine now. But there is a long time to to get equipment to ukraine, be modern at offenses or, or other artillery systems that weve been discussing for the past months already. So it has been taken at the decision quite a while back. And now the systems arriving to create and have an effect and protect in civilian areas and military targets that russia seeks to disrupt and destroy with Missile Campaign of the last couple of weeks. Now need to members have been mindful about helping, without triggering a wider war in europe, given russias warnings against supplying advanced weaponry to keep. How is russia likely to react to this latest boost ukraines Missile Defense . I think dont step up step on me on their escalation that are weve seen various efforts to, to metal with infrastructure in europe. Non pipeline comes to mind. Weve seen middle garages in that civilian targets in ukraine. What i think all of this indicates is that russia is recognizing that they have a little means to affect the balance of forces on the battlefield. And that they now seek to leverage other means to undermine western support for ukraine. And this is certainly going to continue. Its going to escalate further, but not with s. S as may to lead us has set yesterday. And it will repeat this today. And the conversation will be escalation risks and are carefully to provide ukraine with the equipment that it needs to defend itself. And, but certainly strings are still attached to the 8th that the west is giving is just now being confirmed that germany and 13 other countries will procure their own new air Defense Systems to protect themselves. Can you tell us any more about that integrated air Missile Defense for a long time was not a priority in the west when you think of the last 20 years. And then usually the foreign deployment and have gone on. Molly and other places come to mind where western soldiers didnt face any threat from the buck really. And so Missile Defense walking the priority in terms of capabilities and in terms of procurement. And that is only slowly changing since 2014, since the 1st attack ukraine. And certainly those discussions are picking up since february of this year. Now the announcement by germany and 13 other countries, i think its a welcome step to boast, a european Missile Defense capabilities. Well have to see how this plays out in practice or the next couple of months and years. Now, nato is meeting for a 2nd day on thursday is going to be discussing it 3 amunition. So restocking its own arms. How vulnerable has the war in ukraine actually made nato . I think that has been neglected by major countries. For the longest time. I think that resulted initially from a certain expectations the war would soon be over. And it turns out that this is a long war, and that it will take a while and now industry production for ammunition, but also for spare. Parts of the systems that have been provided to ukraine already are a higher priority than they were a couple of weeks ago where to slow when it comes to adopting to the new challenge. But i think may to read us at their july summit madrid had already indicated that they were discussing an Industrial Response to, to russia aggression against ukraine. And its certainly restocking ammunition stockpiles. But also the readiness of their own armed forces is our highest priority to the lines, no profit loss from the European Council on Foreign Relations. Its been a pleasure having you on the w. Thank you. Thank you. Now since the war began, hundreds of thousands of russians have fled the country. When president putin ordered a partial mobilization in september, that number searched many have made their way to israel. One of the few places still open to russians and running direct flights. The government is preparing for thousands more to arrive in the coming months. The w Rebecca Ritters met with one young man in haifa, a taste of home in a foreign land. Ivan, who doesnt want us to use his last name for security raisins is one of thousands of russians of jewish descent have arrived in israel since the kremlin called for a partial mobilization video data. And israels law of return. Any jew around the world has an automatic right to citizenship. Ivan, whose grandfather is jewish, started making inquiries in february, shortly after russia invaded ukraine, venezuela. Rusty had been its when the war began the special military operation. I started looking at the programs israel offered to symbol unless i had thought that until the new year i would earn money is i bought with plans to come later. Blemished, but on the other. But on the 21st of september, in theory, conscription, things became urgent. So i yob nippy south browser. I shall i via course. But um, yeah, i wrote the Program Coordinator in israel straits away. Phil thought, he said, dont worry just to get out of russia, anybodys right in glove in his chest, be ready. Then i left to kazakhstan, next on more than 6000 people, like yvonne have fled from russia to israel. Since Vladimir Putin gave his mobilization order that many of them have been too scared to share this story with us for fear of retribution from the kremlin. Israel says its preparing for tens of thousands more in the coming months, welcoming jews fling persecution is hardly something new for the jury site. The biggest migration was throughout the 90s, where israel and welcomed over 1000000 immigrants from former soviet union countries. What weve seen this year is a 20 year record. It does come naturally for us to open the door to any one ah, of jewish descent, according to the law return. This is our vocation. Vacation ivan was happy to benefit from by. So he has a military exemption, he says he knows of other men whove been called up despite having the same status here. I to me of it. Here i go by train in ukraine. Its a fate. Hundreds of thousands of young men, a desperate to avoid, even if its hard to leave your homeland or to hear what i see. Of course, i love russia very much. I was born and raised their like probably 95 percent of those you left russia. Like i hope to return when dots, which the whole world is dreaming of door will happen, which they advised me at home sick as he is, ivan says hes happy hes now living in a free country. As he considers his future, he hopes one day to return to a russia that is free as well. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. Pyongyang has launch too long range strategic cruise missiles, and thats according to state run media photos show north Korean Leader kim jong on overseeing the operation that he says was a test to confirm the Nuclear Capabilities of weapons deployed to military units. Authorities in australia have issued flood warnings for People Living in the country, that se hundreds have already been evacuated from their homes. And thousands more lost power. Of the heavy rains lashed the most popular state New South Wales and victoria water levels that also rising dangerously on the island state of tasmania. The jury in the us state of connecticut has decided that conspiracy ferris to alex jones should pay 965000000. 00 to people who suffered from his false claim that a School Shooting never happened. In 2012. A gunman killed 20 children and 6 adults as Sandy Hook Elementary School and staying in the u. S. In washington dc. The Committee Investigating the january 2nd attack on the u. S. Capital is promising. Surprising details in a public hearing later on thursday. Now its likely to be the last such herring. Before novembers critical mid term elections, the Committee Says view as can expect evidence from donald trump secret service. As the panel seeks to place, blame for the deadly riot squarely on the form of president and his inner circle. Ah, the swarming of the u. S. Capital on january 6th, 2021. An unprecedented attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power from donald trump to joe biden. These images shocked the nation view and the world kathy was initially republicans condemned the writers, but most have reversed course and thrown their support behind former president , trump again, only a small minority continue to demand. The trump and the riders be held to account, including liz cheney and adam kinsey are the only 2 republicans on the january 6th committee to investigate what role trump played in the riot room and efforts to overturn the election shuttle. So far, the committee has held a public hearing, featuring previously unseen footage and compelling witness testimony, pointing directly to donald trump and his inner circle to say, the election job. I just want to say congress has certified the results without saying the elections over. Okay. The Committee Accuses the former president of trying to overturn the 2020 election result of riling up the crowd of riders on january 6th and acting on the attackers as it happened. When the committee finishes its work, it will submit a final report with its findings and recommendations, including one key recommendation, whether donald trump and his allies should face criminal charges. But in the end, it will be up to the Justice Department to decide what to do, and that will be a tough decision. Does the Justice Department take an unprecedented leaf and press criminal charges against a former president , or will it use its resources to go after other members of trumps inner circle thing . Most republicans have rejected these hearings as political theater. But with a report hanging over donald trump head, along with many other investigations, it is possible that the former president s popularity will take a hit, and that Florida Governor ron de santis, the rising star of the republican party, could become the next republican president ial candidate in 2024. Now world hunger is reaching castro, fate levels. Thats according to this. He is Global Hunger index. The german and g o that whom i his her and its partner concern worldwide. Say the progress in the fight against hunger has largely stagnated in recent years. And that the situation is likely to worse than due to overlapping crises, such as conflicts, Climate Change, and the economic fallout. The coven, 19 pandemic. And one of the countries worst affected is madagascar. Ill correspond antarctica increase reports. Now from am bombay in the islands south, which has experienced back to back droughts the several years in a row access to waters. The major challenge she and the ambo vollmer region. After years of insufficient rainfall, the south of madagascar is experiencing one of the worst droughts in its history. And for many people here, that means they have to go very far distances in order to have access to water. The man with a family behind me for example, will busy the whole day trying to transport water from the town to his own village as well. Of course its difficult. Its heavy. I have no choice. I need water, i cant live without it. I have to find small jobs here and there to afford it. More than 1000000 people already in need of humanitarian assistance at the moment, but this number could possibly go significantly up. In the next months, 8 organizations are not only delivering emergency aid, but also trying to address the key challenge access to water drilling balls and installing drip water systems. For example, like here in this village, we are just waiting for rain fall to farm shore. Weve there no way to do the Climate Change. The rainfall is not right on time or the small sol. The solution is this boils, the pharmacy are preparing their fields at the moment, starting to plant new seats. It is the time of the year where the rain is supposed to start, and while some are hoping for it, others fear that we could see yet another season of insufficient rainfall. This could then possibly lead to a bad harvest and 10th of thousands could skip back into extreme hunger. Now since the death of a young woman in the custody of iran, so called Morality Police last month, people around the world have been demonstrating for the rights of women in iran. In recent weeks, the protests there have widened, taking aim at the leadership of the islamic republic, and its repressive policies and support for those protests has also come from the film industry. Protest is across iran, continue to defy crackdowns that human Rights Groups say, have left dozens of people dead. The demonstrations were ignited by the death of 22 year old mazda armine, following her rest for unsuitable attire, by the countrys notorious Morality Police. Some support for the women of iran from the world of cinema, the cast of holy spider at its london premier. Oh, rainy and film director only a bossy on the red carpet. Were in clerics robes and bloodied vampire teeth. His film is inspired by true events and tells the story of a journalist played by czar amir abraham, me on the trail of a serial killer. The movie also acts as a critique of iranian society, with the killer who murdered 16 sex workers, celebrated by some for cleaning up the streets. Ah, theyre not really i think we made a movie inspired made so sorry. It happened 20 years ago, but unfortunately its happening right now in, you know, and i think what my character or a prison in this movie is exactly what ever, you know, what women in here are just doing right now. You know, they come to the freight and they reach their own life for himself and for the others. Iranian born lord of the ring star, neza named bon yadi using her platform to lead a protest in los angeles against the iranian regime. I think the worry is that weve had uprisings in iran once a decade since 1999 in the student uprising and around the Security Forces have one. And this time, the thing that is unprecedented is that youll seeing people fight back against the Security Forces, with head coverings mandatory for women across iran. The image of someone cutting her hair is a symbol of defiance. A group of high profile french actors, musicians have joined campaigners by posting a video themselves, cutting their hair, a symbolic sacrifice in support of iranian women. And with that, you are up to date coming up next conflict zones. Tims of asked in speaks of Prime Minister of casa, though i manuscript, mckinnon.
