or russian miss alice tribes have had the southern city of odessa, which is ukraine's largest port, is stuck close to its airport and it's sitting center. there's been a separate strike on the nearby town of our seats. in the past week, rush is targeted several times in the southern region. our diseases, hassan massuce, has more from odessa. we are now beside the oh, this is airport here in odessa city, which were, which was as targeted by and mrs. strike in this place. 2 missiles heads here, their place in the northern side of the airport, a which led to explosions, heard throughout the city of odessa. we also heard the air defenses trying to confront the missiles in the sky of odessa. fire fighting hears are working in the place while we have detected 2 injuries,

at least so far, this targeting comes after the south earn operations common had confirmed targeting odessa region by for a cruise missiles into the region, especially the western and the northern region. ofa. odessa, the, these attacks and these miss, i start is dikes were, since the morning here in odessa, after the air raid also went off a, during the day since the morning, the director of the us intelligence agency, the cia says he's convinced, running me prudence doubling down on the war in ukraine, william burns says, despite the resistance ukrainian forces, the russian presidents not willing to lose, he added that prudence been as he called it stewing for years and is motivated by grievance ambition and insecurity. i think he's in

a frame of mind in which he doesn't believe he can afford to lose. so the stakes are quite high in this phase. and in the east of ukraine. as you know, ukraine's military with support, you know, from the west continues to resist. but i, i don't think this means that, you know, putin is, is deterred at this point because he staked so much on the choice that he made to launch this invasion that i think he's convinced right now, the doubling down still will enable him to make progress locked fitzpatrick is an associate fellow, the international institute for st. jude to teacher studies. he says, russia is going to keep everything on the table to achieve its military objectives, including nuclear weapons, and really does not want to lose. but he's not going to win for sure. ukraine is just fighting back so fiercely and with more and more support from the west. i

don't think we're going to win. but what does it mean that he can't lose? does he have to redefine his objectives? and if he is doubling down now us, it still says what happens, then we'll quadruple down and then use nuclear weapons. i'm quite worried about that. and the problem i see is that if russia doubles down in the don't boss and southern ukraine and does not achieve his military objectives, then what will he do? will he turn to us? i don't think we can rule it out. you know, we were all surprised when launched this invasion. well, i have wasn't surprised, they knew about it, but still it was surprising and i just wouldn't rule out the possible use of nuclear weapons. you know, obviously united states cannot be seen to be so involved in this war and directly targeting russian generals. i mean that, that is really, it's not just that it's a provocation that could escalate matters, but it displays into russia sense of grievance. and, you know,

we don't need to do that. now russia, russia says the reason being attacked and prevailed on is sort of line. but still you have to always see the other side. psychological reasoning and not play into it . pulls of open for the confirmation of hong kong, next leader, an election committee of 1500 people vetted by beijing will make the choice. john lee is the only candidate in the race to succeed carrie lamb. it was the head of security during the 21900 pro democracy protest. let's go live now to adrian brown in hong kong. what are we going to expect in the next few hours? well, rob, in the next few minutes, we expect all the votes to have been cast by the election committee, which numbers more than $1400.00 men. that which numbers more than $4000.00, which of course will be selecting. john lee. now it's expected. he's more than can i get the 750 votes required to cross that threshold. and we expect the formal

announcement confirming john lee as hong kong next chief executive in the next hour or so. now john lee is a pretty controversial figure. he is a policeman, a former policeman. he was also the territory security chief, and he oversaw the crackdown on pro democracy protested in 2019 when he sanctioned the use of tear gas rubber bullets and also live rounds to disperse crowd. so a controversial figure in the eyes of many people, but crucially, rob, he has the backing of beijing. they like his sort of tough guy image. the big question though, is whether he's going to get the trust of, of hong kong, 4500000 registered voters, who of course have been denied a say in this contest, outside of the convention center, there was a very small protest numbering, what half a dozen that shows that her, the voice of protests has not been entirely diminished here in hong kong, but it is growing fainter as each year passes. john lee is a figure i think,

who wants to try to do a number of things. so, hong kong he said that he wants to, he sees himself, in fact, he says as a, as a conductor of a, of a new symphony will. of course, a symphony in hong kong during the past few years has been more wagner than vol. the so he has a very tough time ahead. he faces a number of challenges and in many ways the challenge is he faces a much tougher than the ones that confronted carry. lamb, the outgoing chief executive. yep. you mentioned that the, the opposition to this, the demonstrations are going, but they are small and they're getting smaller over the years. how are local people viewing this appointment, given the fact that this is essentially a shoe and, and they don't have a part placement. well, i think the attitude of most ordinary hong kong people is one of complete indifference. they know they have no say in this contest. if you went outside into

the bustling streets near by and ask people, do you know what's going on today? i can guarantee that most people would tell you, no, we don't, they have no idea that the selection is going on. it's been very low key. it's been the strangest election. i've recovered a campaign lasting just 3 and a half weeks, but was just one candidate who knew the day that this campaign began, that he was going to win. so yes, a weird election. adrian, thank you very much indeed. adrian brown talking to some hong kong taliban leaders in afghanistan have ordered women to cover their entire body. while in public, they say of a woman refuses to do so. she or her family could be sent to prison or far from government jobs. their hardings got more a sea of blue in cobble, a group of women gathered at a market. the tall bonds latest to cree, is that all women in afghanistan must cover their entire body when they're outside the home. he does a lot on ha, i'm r o d i go and he, he job is

leaders have also cracked down on education for girls closing down secondary schools on the same day class was supposed to start you in human rights. experts say afghan women are facing large scale and systematic, gender based discrimination and violence. if we see any of the, the demonstrations that have had taken place since august when the taliban took up it's, it's been women at the forefront women and girls. and this is intended to ensure that women have no public face. there are fears, this strict rules. now, facing women in afghanistan will likely discourage them from going out in public in realizing their full potential, lia, hurting al jazeera or the un secretary general until he got out. it says, tweeted, seeing he's alarmed by the telephones announcement, that woman must cover their faces in public and leave home. only in cases of necessity is urged the taliban to keep their promises to afghan women and girls and

their obligations under international human rights laws. the european union nuclear talks envoy is going to visit iran on tuesday as the block seeks to save the 2015 nuclear cord talks to revive the deal have been on hold since march to crowns been demanding. washington removes the iranian revolution regard forces from the u. s. terror organization list that you put foreign policy chief joseph, but l a revealed in an interview is considering a scenario whereby the i r g c, a removed from the title list, while other parts of the organization remain still ahead on al jazeera loses silver's launched. his bid for brazil's presidency county unseat encumbered jabal sonata, and artists from russia, bella, luce and poland come together in greece to help spread a ukrainian theater groups message of joy, hope and unity. ah,
