value target. the russian novocherkassk landing ship struck by a guided missile. the force of the blast suggests it was full. moscow claims it was only damaged. kyiv said it fwas destroyed. it will be more than a lick of paint regardless. crimea has been firmly held by russia since 2014 but site like this are more common with ukraine striking deeper into the peninsula. the novocherkassk would have almost certainly been loaded with soldiers, hardware or both. it being taken out will hamper russia's ability to supply troops farther north and weaken itdominance in the black sea. >> a huge job has been done, a big assault carrier was destroyed and it did become part of a fleet to which the most co-missile cruiser belongs.

>> kyiv has successfully targeted russian vessels before including the flagship. what attacks like this have yet to do is apply enough pressure on moscow for it to surrender ukrainian territory it has taken but for president zelenskyy it is a week announcement against the backdrop of waning western support. >> the feodosiya fragments were scattered hundreds of meters many ukraine has only been able to liberate a few kilometer of territory. the impact of strikes like this is not always realized immediately but they have slhtly weakened russia's control here. the problem for ukraine is time is not its friend. skwra>> we have the editor of t ukraine alert block and he explained why many might consider this tack a particularly significant one. >> it is a very signicant

attack. it is one of a series of similar strikes that reflect ukraine's growing ability to hit russia's black sea fleet. this began in 2022 we the war was in its early stages but escalated significantly the past six months or so with a number of serious hits that either destroyed or seriously damaged russian war ships and have forced russia to withdraw the vast majority of these battle ships and submarines even from the home port of the block sea fleet to russian ports east of the black sea. russia has even reportedly become aware of developing a newport in the g. territory in the east of the black sea which shows how severe it has been to the russian sea power so this is part of a bigger pattern and

showing ukraine's ability to force russia back from the ukrainian coast and break the blockade. >> the u.k. defense minister says 20% of the fleet has been destroyed in the last month. tell us more to be russia's military capability there. >> the russian black sea feet to blockade ukraine's ports and that is being effectively broken by the operations the past six months. the russian black sea fleet also played a big role in missile attacks on ukraine infrastructure after a civilian structure last winter in particular we russian war ships were used to fire large cruise missile attacks that has been notably less this winter largely because the ships have been forced back and they play a major role in helping support

the russian invasn and bring supplies to occupied crimea and southern ukraine so it is undermining the ability of russia to maintain its invasion forces in the south of ukraine and it is a huge morale boost for ukraine to be seen striking these war ships and inflicting this and from a russia perspective they are losing the battle to a black sea to a country that doesn't have a navy. >> peter dickinson there. the israel military chief warns there won't be a swift finish. he said it will last many more months the hamas iran health ministry said 24 have been killed in the last 24 hours and could spike. the u.s. carried out necessary and proceed portion night air strikes against pro iranian

militia in iraq in response to attacks only american bases in the region. the government of iraq condemned it assen necessary attacks. >> standing at what used to be her home our things, mom, they are gone. israel's bombing of rafa in southern gaza has continued leaving those to who fled at a loss of where to go. >> israel claims there are safe residential areas or secure zones but this attack shows that is a lie. the military action intensified in the south. ammon was sleeping with her family. the bomb hit them and killed her uncle. >> we were sleeping and i heard a big bang. rocks landed on us. >> her baby sister is three days

old. the baby is bearing a contact she was born into. as the military operation deepens tensions have risen on the northern border with lebanon. israel's defense minister has visited troops in the north after he said they received cross board fire from his whether with the idea of targeting some of their infrastructure. >> he understands very well with we did in gaza can be done in beirut. >> hezbollah operatives were also targeted by u.s. in iraq. they said they carried out air strikes against iran sponsored militias in response to an attack on an air base. israel's war in gaza is not close to being over says the prime minister and in its wake other fronts grow more tense in volatile areas in the region.

>> in the past hour an egyptian tv channel broadcast to make magnitude aback his first interview since the war. we have a report of the report. tell us what he has been saying. skwra>> he used strong words in describing what is happening in gaza. he said it is far more than a disaster and far beyond genocide. he said the palestinians have never seen something like that before t. is worse than the year of 1948 when israel was founded. he said that more than 20,000 have been killed in gaza but there are 7,000 to 10,000 still buried under rubble and no one knows anything about them. he blamed the u.s. big time here because he referred to the

vehicle the u.s. has -- the veto the u.s. has used to disrupt a resolution calling for a cease-fire and he clearly said the u.s. wants to the assault to stop it will because it is the only country that can pressure israel to do so. but apparently what is going on is supported by waington. that is his words. he also said that m mr. netanyahu's government the current israeli government is aiming to wipe out the palestinian existence not just gaza but the west bank and juvenile and he referred to the current israeli attacks against the palestinians in the west bank and juvenile and said the ultimate goal is to push the people of gaza into the egyptian sinai peninsula and a lot of reports have been talking about that, that the constant bombardment might push palestinian families to walk into the sinai peninsula but he

thanked the egyptians for not allowing this to happen because the egyptians have been very reluctant to open the borders for the residents to stay permanently in sinai because that according to egyptian statements will undermine the palestinian post. he finds the israeli argument about the right to self-defense is illogical and he doesn't believe that israel still is keen on having the two state solution, it just wants to wipe out the palestinian existence. and what is more important here he says that the bill belichick authority is ready to run gaza and has enough people to run gaza. but that is a very controversial issue given the huge lack of trust between the hamas group that controls gaza and palestinian authority on one hand. besides, the israelis have not accepted the fact that the

palestinian authority can run gaza given perhaps the lack of trust between members of the palestinian authority and residents of gaza. so, it is a very complicated picture but away understand that he blames the americans and holds them accountable for the ongoing fighting because according to him it is only the americans who can push the israelis to stop the war. >> what about hamas and the 120 hostages at the still hold taken on october 7 attacks on israel. did he talk about them and pressure he could possibly exert or others should exert on hamas to release them? >> he did not specifically refer to the israeli hostage issue. but he was asked why he was blamed by the israelis for supporting terrorism as much as hamas do. he said i'm against the killing

of civilians. i cannot support what israel is doing in gaza and called that the right to self-defense so he is in a very tight position. he cannot win over the trust of the people in gaza and the war is still going on and he can't do much about it. >> sally, thank you. the israeli army said it has arr arrested a senior accomplish politician in the west bank. she is a prominent figure in the front for the liberation of palestine. it is the second largest faction and main opposition. in 2006 he was she was elected as a representative of the palestinian assembly. the pflp is designated as a terrorist organization. skwra>> nathaniel any confirmeds being transferred to an arctic

prison but in good spirits. considered putin's most vocal opponent. he is told supporters not to worry about him insisting he is relieved to have reached the siberian penal colonelity but the chief of staff said concern for him remained high. >> we are worried. we don't forget for a second that he is in the custody of the people who tried to kill him 3 1/2 years ago and he's putin's very personal political prisoner and this journey, this forced journey was approved and we are worried and while the only protection if any that still exists for nathi navalny is pub. putin has to be reminded the world cares about navalny.

went through there. >> we scored a wonderful first goal and then they had moments and scored the equalizer. but again for us it is very important that we win the game and nobody gets injured. that is the two main pieces of information. >> there was a 3-2 win and they had lead 2-1 after two second half goals in eight minutes but own goals from jack robinson allowed back-to-back premier leak victories. nottingham forest had their first win under their new manager and came from bind to beat new castle united at saint james park. chris wood scored a hat trick his first just before halftime. that canceled a penalty and he scored twice in the second half.

event but extravaganza such as black friday have robbed some. some remained clong but boxing day is just the start. there's plenty of time for people to think about going shopping before the new year. retailers need shoppers to come out in force this week. it is a vital time of year for them but the question is with the cost of living high and bills to pay do consumers have enough money to spend. early indications that while shoppers did splash out more in the run up to across mass than last year trading was far from spectacular. >> there will be a temptation to buy but there's less money. the cost of living crisis had a big impact on how much was sold over the christmas. >> research suggests we will spend more than $14 billion ponds in the shops and online between christmas and the new year but that is well down on
