rush is targeted several times in the southern region. opposite us hassan massuce has more from odessa. we are now beside the o this as 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 ern 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 and the director of the u. s. intelligence agency, the cia says he's convinced vladimir putin is doubling down on the war in ukraine. william burns says despite the resistance from cranium forces, the russian presidency, not willing to lose. he added that putin has been, as he called it stewing for years and is motivated by a 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, in the east of ukraine. as you know,

ukraine's military was 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 mark, fitzpatrick and associate fellow the international institute for strategic studies . he says russia will 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 it's quite a 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 as it still loses,

what happens then when he quadruple down and then use nuclear weapons, i'm quite worried about that. and the problem i see is that if russia doubled down in the don't boss and southern ukraine and does not achieve his military objectives, then what will he do when he turn to 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 sent a grievance of being attacked and prevailed on is out of line. but still, you have to always see the other side psychological reasoning and that play into

post clothes and the confirmation of hong kong next leader john lee is the only candidate in the race to succeed carrie lamb. it was the head of security during the 2019 pro democracy protest is a live pictures from hong kong with a counting. the votes is confirmation, is made by an election committee. 1500 people vetted by beijing. adrian brown has more from hong kong. we expect all the votes to have been cast by the election committee, which numbers more than 1400 men. that which numbers more than $1400.00, 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. 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 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, he has the backing of beijing, they like his sort of tough guy image. the big question though, is whether he's gonna 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, 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.

a huge sense of optimism among her support is that she could still win elections on monday, but she does face a huge uphill battle for several reasons. she is a victim of a disinformation campaign. of fact checking group says that there have been a lot of social media posts simply untrue, her quotes, mangled, distorted, to make her seem unintelligent. she has been accused of being a communist, and this is a very common tactic in the philippines to discredit political opponents. now in contrast, frontrunner ferdinand marco's junior, has benefits mostly from misleading, but positive post on social media. so his campaign, they've been able to whitewash his father's rule as a time of peace and prosperity when in fact it was full of talk, proceed, nepotism and human rights. abuses, now the other thing standing in her way is the alliance that mom cause junior, has formed with powerful dynasties in the philippines, which still hold

a lot of sway among voters. he's formed ally and alliance with the powerful royal family. the estrada's and the 2 territories which include incumbent president, rodrigo detective, and his daughter, sarah, who is running for position of vice president. so these families, despite their rather murky track record, they still have a strong support base and their support is expected to deliver votes for marco's junior tele, by leaders in afghanistan of ordered women to cover their entire body. while in public to say, if a woman refuses to do so, she or her family could be sent to prison or far from government jobs leah harding as more a sea of blue in cobble, a group of women, gathers at a market. the taliban latest decree is that all women in afghanistan must cover their entire body. when they're outside the home. he does the ha, i'm r o d i go and he, he job is
