normal, to a large degree, because of the little girl. they didn t want her to be traumatised. as the delegates gather for the latest international conference on how to deal with the reality of an overheating world, is it already too late to save our planet? anything we do is better than nothing, which i know is not a great rallying cry, is it? famously, general winter is russia s great ally. and although when vladimir putin launched his invasion of ukraine back in february, he clearly thought it would all be finished in a couple of weeks or so, he s now hoping to recruit general winter to help him win, more than eight months later. people in kyiv and many other towns and cities in ukraine are suffering from the loss of power and heating, even though on the battlefield itself, ukraine continues to do well. is the balance of the war changing, therefore? i spoke to frank gardner, the bbc s security correspondent. i think ukraine is still largely doing better because of the qual
cry, is it? famously, general winter is russia s great ally. and although when vladimir putin launched his invasion of ukraine back in february, he clearly thought it would all be finished in a couple of weeks or so, he s now hoping to recruit general winter to help him win, more than eight months later. people in kyiv and many other towns and cities in ukraine are suffering from the loss of power and heating, even though on the battlefield itself, ukraine continues to do well. is the balance of the war changing, therefore? i spoke to frank gardner, the bbc s security correspondent. i think ukraine is still largely doing better because of the quality of its army, and its command structure and its use of combined arms. but russia is slowly reinforcing its front lines with all of these conscripts and reservists, some of them very poorly trained and poorly equipped. and it s very clear that what russia is trying to do is to make up for its military failures by punishing the civi
even though on the battlefield itself, ukraine continues to do well. is the balance of the war changing, therefore? i spoke to frank gardner, the bbc s security correspondent. i think ukraine is still largely doing better because of the quality of its army, and its command structure and its use of combined arms. but russia is slowly reinforcing its front lines with all of these conscripts and reservists, some of them very poorly trained and poorly equipped. and it s very clear that what russia is trying to do is to make up for its military failures by punishing the civilian population. its main effort isn t, frankly, any longer in trying to take this or that village. their main effort is to so demoralise the ukrainian population that it sues for peace on russia s terms. i ve spent a bit of time in ukraine now.
the loss and damage, which is what it sounds like, of climate change, the kind of terrible impacts of the countries like pakistan has seen in terms of those awful floods, help us deal with the consequences. tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars worth of damage, millions of people displaced, huge infrastructure damaged in pakistan. and they re saying come up with the cash for that. now, that is something developed nations are really anxious about signing up to because it could be effectively an open cheque. why do you think the british government seems to be so uninterested in the whole thing? it s interesting, isn t it? i mean, i think rishi sunak would probably say we are interested, but i ve got other priorities. but i think given the kind of publicity and the discussions there have been after it was announced that he wasn t going, he probably felt that it was worth reassessing that. and what do you think, justin, will be the outcome when you come back from it?
that kind of detail of everyday living, you know, when they re just cooking or going for walks. in the meantime, the terror is coming closer and closer to them. i mean, it must be quite dangerous for dmytro sometimes, isn t it? it was dangerous for him to film. and so we took a lot of precautions to make sure that he minimised the risks. so when he was outside, he was filming just on his phone. and there are certain things that we didn t want him to film as the demonstrations got more violent, you know, the crackdown. we said that he shouldn t be there. you know, the way that the material was sent over was very secure. the way we communicated was very secure, because if he was detained and if he was to be found working for a western organization like the bbc, that would have been pretty bad news for him. and he was such a natural performer, wasn t he? i mean, i hate to use a word like that, but he you can t take your eyes off him when he s talking to you, can you? yeah, i think that
