months. the fate emergency services says 5 people have been killed and any inches. the glass in the center of keys were mostly in the shaft jenko district. this area includes the historic old town as well as government offices. one missile exploded near the main building of key university and another in a park opposite a crossing, known as the glass bridge, was also hit. it's popular with tourists and used by pedestrians and cyclists. explosions were also reported in the vague turn. no pail in ukraine's west denise pro and come and choke in central ukraine, zappa leisure in the south and khaki in the east. the mayor of ki vitale. clinical has appealed to the international community for help this the city of give just an hour ago. they attack another attack, continued attacks of russia, ukraine. oh,

kill civilians. realism, people living in the city of this war and so called for world must help us ingredients containing elbows, ingredients to stop this genocide of the korean population and destruction of life or infrastructure al jazeera is where we challenge these in keys with more on the strikes there, in the midst of the attacks, the response from the governments from the authorities was to say get inside, get to a shelter, take cover, white this out, don't go out and the 3 don't come into the cave. if you don't, absolutely have to. this is a very dangerous situation. we have also had a couple of updates from the precedence vladimir zalinski himself, one earlier on the, when the attack started. and another one about halfway through we can listen to

what he said now grange him around the ukrainian lens. the morning is difficult said, we are dealing with terraces, dozens of missiles iranian drones. they have to target the energy facilities throughout the country. and the 2nd target is the people that is such a time. such goals were specifically chosen to cause us as much damage as possible, but we are ukrainians. we help each other, we believe in ourselves. we restore everything that is destroyed. there may be temporary power outages now, but there will never be an interruption in our confidence, our confidence in victory. so this onslaught is something that i think the country has not seen in, in, in an entirety like this late since the early days of the war. the question now for ukraine is, is this going to be repeated? has russia used up a huge amount of precision weapon rates and feels like it's made as points as funny?

mcpherson was putting it just a few minutes ago, or is this the beginning of something that is going to become more regular? we just don't know the answer to that in the moment. and i'll just hear, hold on bill m e d, as in denice pro with moore and the attack scene of a ukrainian cities. this is an indication that today is very different from the days and weeks. the need apply regularly on the right. the last one was just last week where the family died in the air strike is also very close to that. we're only about an hour drive that has come on the regular nedley strike over the past 9 days more than 60 people have died in the upper region, all the media. and i think what you see today in the shower is an invitation

that this is a very different neighbor. people don't know what happened because we have been traveling around this part of the country. we've been to the region, we've been to harkey, we've been here for back and forth. we've been to crazy. all of these have been coming on the attack quite regularly and i would always be amazed at the fact that people just continued with their lives and whether they were sitting in a restaurant having me or they were walking on the street. they should have brushed off the air siren or what could happen, not today, you have them sitting in shelters. we understand that other sheltered are also quite busy. they read a lot of ongoing this morning all over the country. and this is a theme reading that i have not the witness in this countries is a very early and days of the war when he was a company and no one was around. well, as we mentioned,

russia's president brought me 14, says the strikes are response to attacks by ukraine to get a place to plenty of nevada, which it is impossible not to respond this morning. a massive strikes took place on m. c and land against energy and military targets against ukraine. if such a tempest by ukraine continue, they will be harsh responses. my mom at val is in moscow for so mom had a direct response to the explosion on the coach, straight bridge, which links crimea to maine. non russia tell us more about what president 14 had to say about these massive air strikes in ukraine today. is fully present put in mentioned the sun attempts by the ukrainian, the intelligence services to also strike out other targets, including nuclear targets in russia or in the area under its control and energy or

targets. and he basically said that this is not tolerable here. russia and that russia will respond and this is going to be the beginning. her deputy chairman of the security council, demit him at viet if also he used the word seen what he said. this is seen one and giving that expectation that a russia will continue to strike our targets in ukraine. if ukraine doesn't stop or what it is doing, what the something like, what happened to the cash bridge. but also remember that, you know, the russians as people, you know, have been expecting this and med via their said that this is, he said this is what the russians have been expecting. because for several weeks at the russians were watching those defeats at the front line. and they were questioning the capacity, the capability, or even the willingness of the russian, the highest command, russia to do something about the war. and the, the,

the attack on the kurtz bridge came as an opportunity for the leadership here to show that russia hasn't used all the force it has. and it can do more to defend what it, what it considers now eternity, and also to protect. it's a strategic, her interests, and we've also heard mom, it from the bell, russian president, alexander, look at shanker, who says russia and bella roles have a great to deploy. i joined cooper, forces ukraine, that sites her president lucas sank or has always been seen as a very close are light russia and he was teetering on the edge of being a part of this war. and now he has a come with these statement said that he has a proof that ukrainians are planning to hit our targets inside bel irosia. and that something must be done before that can happen. or you can listen to more of what he

said about that in the following statement. what casual. so she touched him till the president of ukraine and the other lunatics, if any of them are still there, that the crimea bridge will seemed to them like a walk in the park. if the ever touch a single square meter of our territory with their dirty hands. so lucas and co, they're basically, you know, are using this situation to, to, to, so to show support to russia. and he talked about the creation of a joint force between russia and belarus, a regional force as he described it. but we'll go and defend the interests interests of the 2 countries. so location co is joining this in a way or ready to join this fight. if he has the, the right conditions or what he said, if you crane attacks bellows, and that is a huge, a threat to the scope of this war. we have seen russia now expanding its targets.

beyond that, the earlier of the fighting in eastern and southern ukraine and if bellows joins, it means this is no longer just a war between 2 countries. it risks to become much wider than that and, and that, that's what many are fearing. i thank you for that update mama dry live there in moscow while there's been plenty of reaction to the russian as strikes on ukraine. this monday natasha butler joins is from paris. natasha condemnation from the european union and nato. he has a lot of reaction from parts of the u. i has you'd expect a barbaric war crimes. those are some of the ways there's some e leaders are describing these are russia, russian missile strikes are on ukraine, on civilian infrastructure, on civilian areas. the used for in cosi chief, jose burrell said that these strikes were extremely and deeply shocking. he said

that there is no place for such acts in the 21st century. his, his office, also putting out a message saying that belarus must not to become involved after we heard from minsk that mids could consider sending a better russian troops to fight alongside russian troops or in ukraine, a worrying up scale that would be indeed for the you we've also heard from the head of nato again, so to said that these a strikes were fake indiscriminate. we know that ukraine certainly goes to the top of the agenda this week when a nato defense ministers meet in brussels to discuss the situation. ukraine certainly urging nato members to send more arms, more weaponry, more support, more military, a to everything that they can get. they say this is what they need in order to continue to fight russia. and here and from the manual micro, the french president spoke to a low to me as a lensky,

ukrainian president on the telephone. a little earlier said that he was, of course, deeply concerned by the situation that father would continue to support ukraine and a scale of some of the military equipment that it is sending. frauds has been under some criticism, perhaps not sending as much military support in terms of equipment and age ukraine, as it could do for being such a major european power. france will be one of the g 7 members that will be meeting in an emergency video conference on tuesday. that is something that follow to me for lensky called for today. that meeting is taking place by video conference. d 7 leaders will be discussing this mater situation. thank you for that, natasha, but my live there with reaction from paris, where it is now speak to via to us love you. rush was an m p for live and a member of presence lensky, servant of the people party. he is joining us from ukraine's capital key. thank you so much for being with us on. i'll just 0. president, putin as he heard says

a mass trikes are revenge for the courage bridge attack. and he says they could be more to come. what is your reaction to this and how worried are you about what else could come last a month for? we have been pretty used to tactics in the tactics from chatter, sacking vital infrastructure to points. this is speaking, you know, stepping, rushing attacks on our nation's abilities. and another thing is that different now, and this is horrifying. deadly pointless acts. and this would, she is rushes waging within the 1st day of the war, destroy our nation. we show back on the show of survive. this is why it's so much pity. it's like have you say you've been used to this for the past 8 months,

but city is like key of the capital where you all had been relatively sped until now. you have at least 5 people killed there. today. the defense ministry is saying that they will be revenge. what are your options going forward? what is your crating strategy going to be? not if the counter offensive that ukraine has launch is, is answered with such violence from the russians. first months of the war keepers, each key was cheryl daily and so many died defending our capital. so that's why i'm saying story. unfortunately, sadly, one of the, one of the realities that we've faced the last month, it's one of the options we have on the table while there's something that is not discussed on the tv channels for you with what we have in driving and pushing back to the east and south, the country, we shall continue. that's so the offensive,

the counter offensive in the east and south will continue to drive the russia saving successful. removing many, a clean, the inc showing the world our depression, which was nothing more than a loss and desantos on ability to wage war. and when our country is, had been shown success, the courage trade bridge explosion, which is what led led to this onslaught of russia as strikes on, on keeping out of this other cities in ukraine. does ukraine claim responsibility for the shock on the bridge? the 1st crime was the crimea illegal, attempt to take over and over countries. chunk clean and back in 2014 and did bridge that you'll be billed demonstrations that claimed is one number that's from the crane. somewhere in

that bridge explosion is something that shouldn't be predicted by everybody is ukraine behind that exposure? i can go home and medically reach essentially shouldn't been then fast clicks. we've heard strong condemnation from nato, from the european union. joseph, for our saying such acts have no place in the 21st century. does this go far enough for you? the basically again, the rough side is trying to say, will be, was us missed? you? really no rush are russia friends to do so? what? actually the commander marshall pointed to lead to be in ukraine is no cruelty. he is like a regard for she lives. so expecting everything. so,

but what would you like to see from, from the european union, from nato? ukraine has already received a great deal of military support for some the west. tough sanctions have been imposed on on moscow. what more would you like to see happen? and we will last but again, so which one you happen to find cutting growth roll supply and receiving a lot of the resources from the european community. it's very clear in our sales, well and gasket despite the damages to eat gas pipeline and by the attendance, as you will sanction russia is essentially seeing lots of threat 11 use strong countries. that is something that seems to be going forward as shown so clearly know. remember when you want a malign in trying to store national thank you so much for talking to us and

sharing your view. scatter 5 you rush, ukrainian, m p. joining us from keith, we appreciate your time. thank you. memo dover says 3 cause mythos fired by russia. ukraine violated it 1st space on monday, the government to summon the russian ambassador to explain. foreign minister, nico professionals said he condemned the action in the strongest possible terms. and we'll have more on the war in ukraine later on in the news. our and also out of world news, including floods devastate parson, venezuela, leaving home schools and businesses destroyed. and in schools, this korean goal for matchers, rafi chiefs by time ah, not to some of the days avenues and north korea leader says it's major smith

launches were a way to test the ability of nuclear weapons to wipe out american and south korean targets. kim jong and also acknowledge plans to conduct more test. he said the launches were in response to joint naval trails. between the u. s. and south korea . rob mcbride has more from sol. the north koreans have said very little about this flurry of miss ballistic missile activity that's gone on pretty much on, unchecked for 2 weeks. continually launching of these missiles the last week of september, the 1st week of october. and then today, monday, the official north korean use agency comes out with almost a pronouncement along declaration of exactly what it's been doing. the dates of the tests, the types of missiles being launched, her and tested with photographs showing kim jung on the low north korean leader overseeing all of these tests. and basically the headline to come away from this is

that the north korean say the, the old that they have been doing is carrying out what they called tactical nuclear drills. this is the supposed development of a smaller tactical nuclear devices. now, these are the, the kind of miniaturized nuclear warheads that you would put onto a rocket or a short range ballistic missile. it does require an awful lot of a technical advancement of technology and technological know how in order to do this, and it's unclear just how advanced the north koreans are in developing tactical nuclear warheads. but certainly they are working on the delivery systems for these types of warheads, and they've also, as well as carrying out to assure to range ballistic missiles. probably the most serious development of the past couple of weeks was last last week on october. the 4th, they launched an intermediate range ballistic missile right over the top of japan that landed in the pacific ocean. that caused obvious alarm from all of the north

korea as neighbours. it's the 1st time they carried out such a loads like that in 5 years. and at the north korean say that that is a new type of missile. they also say that they have been practicing and developing the technology to have to have explosions in the air above the ground. now that's the kind of delivery that you would use if you were launching a nuclear device. now, the united nations high commissioner for refugees is warning armed conflict. human rights abuses and global warming have for some unprecedented number of people to flee their homes. let's take a look at what's driving up the numbers, the number of forcibly to space people reach an unprecedented 100000000 in may up from nearly 90000000 fixed months before they increase has been largely caused by the war in ukraine. more than 7000000 people have been displaced there since the military coup in myanmar last year. 1000000 people, the number of internally,

the space people they also known as id piece and in bore kina. fossil worsening security has led to more than 2000000 id piece up from 50000. in 2018. nearly 7000000 refugees from syria after more than a decade of war than lebanon has the 2nd largest number of syrian refugees within its borders. after turkey is in a harder has more from a camp in the big car valley. the largest concentration of syrian refugees and lebanon live in the because valley, as you can see behind the conditions are dire. these children, for example, were born here. they were born in exile, their parents escape the war in neighboring syria, united nations high commissioner for refugees 11 on says it just doesn't have enough money to meet the needs, the growing needs. it's under funded by 60 percent. they're saying that 150000 families are now fundable, if that money is not given by the owner of nations,

these children cannot afford to go to school because you need to pay money to register 11 on public schools. so the economic collapse and love on has hit these people hard. 90 percent of syrian refugees live below the poverty line. more and more theory and families are getting on those both attempting to legally reach europe in search for a better life. and they're worried because this is an unwelcome in country, lebanese officials are blaming them for the crisis, not the corruption and the mismanagement is over the past decade. and they're saying that they have become a burden and that they should return back to syria, even though the united nations has repeated time and time again. it's still not safe. yes, some of these people are economic migrants. they're here because the economy is so bad in syria and they cannot work and or their homes are destroyed. but a significant number of them come from areas which were really the hock, bits of the opposition. they cannot return because of the lack of security guarantees from the syrian government. my michigan, i'm out of city,

we have nothing to return to in syria. we don't have home, they were destroyed. i wish we could go back. i should, i should on 12 years old, i wish i could do everything work and go to school. but right now i picked potatoes, onions, grapes, and i collect metal. so nearly 50 percent of children of school age are out of school. they're working and their parents say the money, the assistance that they receive from the united nations is not enough, especially it cost $20.00 a month just to rent one of these 10. meanwhile, 6900000 ferrying internally displaced sal jazeera, spoke with some living at a camp on the outskirts of the northwest in italy, province, henry helmet, and no, no, yeah, nor my dream is that we go back to our homes with better conditions and cheat and teach our children in situations better than does one need next kind of the have my own wish as displaced civilians from our cities and houses is to return back toward

towns and places that basic human right now whether they're so i left, there are no proper schools and we're dying of heat under distance. they said they will provide better tens or houses, but its allies. but i'm actually fun home and the children and the can put, deprived of everything, the simplest things in life, such as god and the playground. and even school, as well as i'll speak to roller, i mean, who is a senior communications advisor with the un high commissioner for refugees? she's joining us live from a mine in jordan. thank you very much for being with us on ology 0. so on unprecedented refugee crisis, what is the biggest challenge your facing in the middle east and north africa region today? well, you know, as a high commissioner, today's equal grand to had sent the needs of rad, jeez, and internally displaced. people have never been great. and yet the space for units out to find solutions to help them and to protect them and assist them. had

probably not been smaller. and this is a serious problem as funding is a major issue, because as xena has explained it, there is a shortage of funding for you and it's yours operations to support these people. there is a shortage of solutions. that's a major problem. these people need solutions because humanitarian assistance can only alleviate some of them. but they need solutions and conflicts mean to and for these people to be able to go back to that homes. and for those who can't, they need long term solutions like re sacrament. to 3rd countries in europe, for example. and these solutions are becoming shorter and shorter that is arising over to and in the food insecurity in the world. and in the manner region, which means people's dependency on the humanitarian assistance has become greater at the time when the funds have become lowered for the city and crisis, meaning the operations to help syrian refugees, student id peace,

and the countries that host them. the funding for these operations have never been lowest than it is this year. just to give you an example, go next. the odd has a what we call a when to rise asian program, a program that needs to help with the teams and id kids during the winter season. we aim to each 1000000 people 3400000. we need about $250000000.00. all the less than one percent has been fund usually at this time or last year. it was more than to 50 percent humble. so this is just an example funding solutions and their needs are growing. all right, felipe, a grande, in geneva today miss, i mean, also called out the international community, criticize thing it for what he called it inaction. now the response from the international community certainly haven't been an even one when you compare different crises when you compare, for example, the ukranian refugee crisis to the syrian one. how concerned are you about the fact that we have governments in the west today in italy for example,

want to tighten their borders and how do we make sure that these governments in these countries uphold their international legal obligations when it comes to refugees? as you said, you know, this is a major issue, people's axis assignment multiple accesses asylum, meaning people who are, who need to feel they need to be received at the country. they reach, they need to be protected. and that's an international obligation. but at the same time what the high commissioner said is that we can't just focus on the latest. there is also to the crisis in ukraine has been grades from new roman. other is what the high commissioner bull today is that this compassion, this fund funding for the operations from ukraine to help people sledge, a grain, should be extended to other christ. we should not forget about the rack syrian refugees. we should not about forget about the people in afghanistan. we should not forget what the people in africa who needs help here. so the appeal today was

please extend that compassion is extend that support and the willingness to contribute to meeting the needs of these people to all crisis gorgeous where they are. that's one thing. the other thing is it has to be very, very clear that rejecting people's access to asylum, preventing people from disembarkation on hordes when they are on very flimsy boards in very conditions on dangerous journey. they need to have access. and this is something that is not just morally, is warranted, but ethically, and international law. thank you so much for talking to us rolla, i mean, from the united nations high commissioner for refugees joining us there from mine. thank you for your time. and still ahead on this use, our japan says hello to choice again. after 2 years, early colonial respond on foreign visitors and in sport will explain why this

a song newly lou. ah, they're watching the news are on al jazeera. i would need fully battery boy i. reminder of our top stories brush as present. vladimir putin has described a barrage of missile fire on your i response to what he called careless attacks on russian territory. and these 10 people were killed, put in warrant law school could take even time for action. nissan strikes have been

reported in ukraine's west east and south, including the cities of leave and concave in april and central ukraine and close to the front lines. was also have his honors here as challenge now with more on the strikes and cave. this is downtown key. if university buildings, consulate, embassies, it's about a civilian, as you can guess. now, the clean up is already got rid of much of the destruction. but when the missile hit, it was monday morning rush hour, people going to work in that cause were caught up in the inferno. and this is just one of several such sites around the city. i asked tommy clips co gives mer, but his response. what russian, this is genocide of your grand population, they need your brain results. great. do we have a lot of numbers? people will die today to be there. and it is a structural gap. wasn't great. peaceful. he threatened more attacks. so what's the

message to residents? should they be scared? he gets brain was target and field target from rush. and that why please pay attention? if you listen, the warming attack, please go to the bank or not since the start of the war has this city suffered such an onslaught. for months people have been ignoring the sirens because they thought that the danger had passed for monday feels very, very different. and the question is, will vladimir putin be good on his word? that there's more to come when i fell speak to pavel found in how was an independent defense on unless he is joining us live from moscow. thank you very much for being the best. so present, putting the mass strikes against ukraine is revenge for the courage bridge attack. do you think what we saw in ukraine this monday will be the extent of the rush and respond to the coach grey jane student has washed made it point or should we expect

further escalation? as many just brought i believe this is going to. ready be a sort of one time action for the am set so that this is response for back to now the other there will be more response. so that needs this. it will be, most likely it will be of course other attacks are in the coming days because they have been happening from time to time during the time of this conflict . but i don't believe that russia has the capacity to the sand as much miss silas deep into your brain as the day on the day to day by day basis. so i believe it's going to be a one time kind of response or revenge it. okay, so you think this was

a one off response to the, the courage bridge attack is the response. so also meant for russian public opinion because they had been some criticism of the law says wash and forces are sustained in recent weeks in ukraine, even from the hawks, the big put in supporters. overall, the strategic situation is not very good. it's more or less a stalemate, right now. you crave had some successes and september. now they are room fanciful around my this theme. russians are trying to osa bands new buck, not them, of the dunbar. so, so it's very slow. and of course there some are fighting season, it is a work order has gone brains of the terrain is not really good for offense. the fraction so going to be both sides will be most likely. bog down for the time being at we still winter when the frost is going to freeze at all. so right now

that means both sides need be our action to tell their population, but they are still on the fence of that they have be measured there, right? so the gradient, like the bridge russia response, that's how it's going to be a believe. you, you say we are in a fail made now and yet russia has appointed a new commander for its forces in ukraine. i general a say gays who over kin. what can you tell us about him and what does his appointment mean for russia's war effort in ukraine? are we going to see a substantial shift you think in russian strategy? well, joe, sir, no, sir, we can as well no rush. and lo, actually for be totally ruthless. and he also, before he 4th in the 2nd church of war was actually had the concussion in afghanistan in the younger the eighty's. he thought and he was in syria a so there will be more ruthless offence, the faction, i'm sure of that,

but i believe that's going to be somewhere december, january. when the winter campaign begins at both sides will be preparing for a real head on collision to try and of with this war. this is for fighting for decisive bakery, which right now is not very possible, but that even if they're still made on the ground and going to be a thanks diversionary actions from book coming in from both sides. all right, thank you so much for talking to a thank you for you. inside panel falcon howard journey has saved from moscow and the nobel prize for economics has been awarded to 3 people for research on banks and financial crises. ben bernard key, douglas diamond, and phillip dead vague one. the 2022 award bunkie was the head of the u. s. federal reserve during the 2008 global financial crisis for we says more from stockholm. economists were spoken to hero, please. the a price has gone to

a trail of laureates whose work has practical applications. there were searches has its roots in the depression of the 1900 thirties, and it's focused on the role of banks in the economy and why it's so important to avoid banking collapses. it's also focused in on a inherent contradiction in the capitalist system. on the one hand, banks are important for funnelling money from savings to investments. but that also creates an inherent weakness. people who've save money, one inside instant access to their savings. people who are investing don't want to suddenly have to pay back the loans. normally this works pretty well. there's enough savers at the noble committee. you've cited these laureate work as enabling government to know how they can proper banks during crises. not always something that is universally popular, but to ensure banks don't collapse and to ensure that these crises don't get deeper

. and they said that the work of these words that ensured that crises such as 2008 the crone of ours. and perhaps even the crises were living through the day, don't lead to a great depression. like in the 1900 thirty's, taiwan president has warned china that armed confrontation is absolutely not an option. sighing, why was speaking in the capital type bay during the island national de china's foreign ministry said in response that it would never leave any space for taiwan independence. tensions between the 2 have been. hi, following a visit by us speaker nancy pelosi in august. when we reached duncan, i want to make clear to the aging authorities. the armed confrontation is absolutely not an option for our 2 sides, only by respecting the commitment of the taiwanese people to our sovereignty. democracy and freedom. can there be a penetration for resuming constructive interaction across
