ah, hello there, welcome to the program. the u. n. has joined ne, till the u. s. and the e. u. in condemning a wave of russian missile attacks on ukrainian cities, including the capital, keep calling the strike some other unacceptable escalation in the war. will ukraine says at least 14 people were killed and explosions reported as far west as live to car cave in the east, where ukraine says, cruise missiles and kamikaze. drones had busy sites during morning rush hour with key infrastructure also attacked. president vladimir, so lensky accused russia of terrorizing ukrainians by targeting civilians and power stations. electricity supply is partially disrupted in 15 regions. or president vladimir putin says the strikes are in response to what he described as terrorist attacks by ukraine. the blasts in keith were the 1st in around 4 months and they

mainly struck the central ship chang co area, which includes the historic old town as well as government offices. a bridge leading into the capital was also damaged, and one missiles hit a playground, whilst another struck a central building at a local university where he shines. begins are coverage now from keith. quiet monday morning in the capital key. if and then this not an isolated strike, this was one of multiple missiles salvo is loaned to the city. others hit the ship jenko district, which includes the historic old town as well as government offices. a busy intersection in front of the main building a p, if university it was rush hour and the people driving to work were caught in the inferno. this is the park nearby. key if wasn't the only city targeted from live, even the west, to hockey in the north, to be proven the center and several more. besides rushes,

president vladimir putin was exacting. his revenge for an explosion that damage the coach. bridge. lincoln crimea, and the russian mainland century restoration works are ongoing. we will restore all objects which were damaged by today's strike of russian terrorists. it's only a question of time in cities and regents where the supply of electricity was disrupted, due to shelling the supply has already resume. i'm not sure with kim crane. he's certainly quick to do that. as soon as the all clear was given, the clean up started, he is mer came to see the damage. what russian, this is genocide of your grand population. they need your brain is algae. great. do we have a lot of numbers? people will die today to be there and it is instruction get great feasible, considering the places hit, it's remarkable. the death toll wasn't much higher around a huge crater on the twisted metal remnants of what presumably was the miss i'll

let me put in says this was the response to a terrorist attack. well, look where this myself struck the playgrounds, just over their credit and have no doubt who the real terrorist as it had been months since the last air strikes on key. if people stopped responding to the sirens thinking the danger had passed. but this is the biggest mythos onslaught since the was early days. the i answered mix with deer again thought jack, we must be more patients in care about ourselves in our clothes. people was only 30 percent cuz what it, silas, when he drops a nuclear bonus, i think we have to win school. that's what i think, either an emergency room. as if on cue. another harry warning, i miss time. people ran richlands out 0 p if or rushes president vladimir pearson has warned of harsher actions to come. mohammed vow reports from the capital moscow, he knew ludy president vladimir putin was brief and decisive in tone. shortly after

he launched more than 80 missiles or targets across ukraine with acute up as to plenty of nevada, which it is impossible not to respond this morning. a mess of strikes took place on air, sea and land against energy and military targets against ukraine. lose him if such attempts by ukraine continued, they will be harsh responses will buy you the one in those attempts to refer to an explosion on saturday, but damaged the care to abridge. lincoln crimea to the russian mainland, put in his deputy chairman for the national security council meeting at via devon said the blast was an act of terrorism that wouldn't pass and punished describing russia's missile strikes on monday. as episode one, both threatened further on the hush action, the frosh, it is a tactical listen bottom field said box ukraine have damaged the image of russia's

leaders, and some analysts say most co wanted to show what its forces are still capable of. although it's options seem more limited course under attacks 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 descend as much miss styles deep into your brain as the kid they are, they do day by day basis. so i believe it's going to be a one time kind of response or revenge of buttons online. in billings said his company was a target of what he called ukraine thomas and was ready to respond on what casual. so to torture can dump the president of ukraine and the other lunatics, if any of them are still there, that the crimea bridge will seem to them like a walk in the park. if they ever touch

a single square meter of our territory with their dirty hands, your son lucas hancock, and announced the creation of a joint foss with russia to defend his country's border with ukraine. european union says it would respond. developments of some fear could lead to any general escalation in the conflict. mohammed one, a da 0 moscow, the president of ukraine in the us spoke on the phone after russia launched those attack she had returned to joins as live from washington, d. c. what did they discuss? she ab, we rather read out from the white house, joe biden expressing his condemnation of the attack as condolences to the loved ones of those who were killed or injured, but then be read out, goes on president biden times to continue providing ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced ad defendant systems. now we know already that the pentagon says at least to,

to rather surface to air missile systems will be in ukraine by november. that's what they say. and then another 6 have been pledged. well, those beta years to arrive because these are just off the, off the peg off the shelf. they are coming from the u. s. as existing stockpiles. they have to be contracted and built more western nations, apparently rather unwilling to give their own service. or i was all systems to ukraine, they say that they need them themselves. these systems can attack drones and missiles and the helicopters, we understand. so that's the, the defense system part. i don't know whether this means that some will have more announcements about the, perhaps a speeding up of the supply. then go on with the the read out by also underscored he's his own getting engaged sort of allies and partners to continue imposing costs on russia. and now this week will be plenty of opportunity for that. we have the virtual g 7 meeting on tuesday with the heads of state, virtually meeting. and then later on in the week we have in brussels,

the meetings of nato and the ukraine defense contact group. that's a grouping that was set up in april of almost 50 nations. and we have the chairman of the joint chiefs and stuff stuff, and the defense secretary already on their way to brussels for that she returns to their life or the latest from washington. she helps thank you. liam collins says executive director of madison policy, formerly off of understanding urban warfare. he joins us live at night from the state of wisconsin. emily of a very warm welcome to the program. good to have your company was in your view, is the significance of this latest round of attacks on ukrainian cities. yeah, it just once again shows how poorly the war is going for russia. right. ukraine struck a bow and, and, and a very strategic target, right, is it's the bridge is a main line of communication to support the ground war in southern ukraine. and they strapped down. and so what russia do, they responded by striking non military targets really to purposes what they did is

one, yes to it, you know, strike terror and fear in about ukrainian population. but all it does is emboldened them to fight even more. and really, the 2nd reason it just shows he's kind of losing the war at home. and it was really a response to kind of placate the pro, the pro war nationalist in russia. then would it be fair to say, and the russia strategy right now is being reactive rather than proactive? i mean, what, what is their strategy? yeah, i mean, their strategy has been pretty, you know, kind of changing throughout the war and it constantly changes based on how they do . but really they're the only place they've had success throughout the war is fighting a war of attrition, right? massing their forces, conducting large artillery attacks in making slow incremental gains at the great cost of russian soldiers and a great cost of ammunition. again to makes small gains. crazy. crazy in the small military can't lose large combat power, so it retreats slowly, but then right it, it counter attacks and the time in place when it's advantageous. and we've seen

them do this, the beginning of the war in the defensive cave, and recently with the large counter offensive and take back much larger territories and rushes taken throughout the war. emily and we heard from our correspond to their washington that in a phone call and between vitamin am and, and the cranium president, they told to buy out providing more advanced air defense systems, but already isn't it around 50 percent of the missiles that are intercepted by ukraine, do you think this continuing development of this kind of equipment can, can change the game if i can call it like that? yeah, i mean i, it's not going to be some one single weapon system is going to change it. right? ukraine is a much smaller military, so it's, it's a constant re supply of all things. right? you know, things from boys to the artillery shells to smaller artillery tubes, but the large hi, martha rocket propelled systems better anti air defense, integrated air defense system. so no single thing is going to be a game changer. it's kind of a collective, but yeah, just with what they had to date, they shot down approximately, you know, little over 50 percent of what russia launched at them. so they've been proven

effective, but they just need more of that capability. has the russian end game em change? we are to law initially a bite walk putin's goal was, but they're clearly not going to walk away empty handed. so where and how does it all end? yeah, i mean, this war is likely to drag on for many months for many years. i mean, if you look right, ukraine is not willing to concede any territory negotiated settlement because they never got that done back after 8 years of conflict, right. and so that political be political suicide and they refused, given what they put in all ready to give up any territory. and if you look at russia, right, even authoritarian, it's hard to walk away with the law. so you don't see him walking away and put in russia, leaving until it's just clear that this just is too expensive to continue and the date despite it trending clearly in that direction, ross is going to continue to invest in it until it just becomes too costly. for money eventually it looks like they will probably have to walk away, at least that's how things are turning now,

provided that ukraine could be resupplied, so it will drag on for, for many months or years until russia decides it's too costly, much like they'd. ready neck in a stand after a decade, a fighting named collins, their executive director of madison policy for him. liam, thank you. thank you. so to come on al jazeera for us economists show they were right on the money walking away with the nobel prize. ah hello, there has been some improvement to the weather across eastern areas of australia as that heavy rain pulled off the coast, leaving tiers skies for queensland and new south wales. but the flood situation does remain rivers are continuing to rise. and while sydney will see some days of settled weather, the rain isn't very far away. we've got

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 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 loving on has hit these people hard. 90 percent of syrian refugees live below the poverty line. more and more serious 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 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 hot bits of the opposition. they cannot return because of the lack of security guarantees from the syrian government. my know she's got a sooty, we have nothing to return to syria. we don't have home. they were destroyed. i wish we could go back. i live by synagogue, so i'm 12 years old. i wish i could do everything we can go to school. but right now i pick potatoes, onions, grapes, am i correct mentally? 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 united nations is not enough, especially it cost $20.00 a month, just to rent one of these 10th latest treatment refugees is under the spotlight. mo syringe, who fled persecution in be in mar,

4 in st. louis has more now from care. there are more than a 180000 refugees and asylum seekers registered with the you and hcr in malaysia. ro hang us comprise the largest group, but it's thought the number of unregistered refugees is much higher. now, many of them live in cities in low cost housing areas like this. malaysia is not a signatory to the u. n. refugee convention, which means refugees here have minimal legal protection. they don't have the right to work, which leaves them vulnerable to exploitation. they often employed in the informal sector as doing jobs that are dangerous, dirty, and difficult refugee children don't have the right to attend government schools, which means they're dependent on en jose and volunteers. it's estimated 70 percent of refugee children and malaysia on north educated and the you and hcr in malaysia gives some level of protection and socially to those who are registered with the agency. but refugee group say that tens of thousands more awaiting registration.

and that process can take years. the government's proposal to shut the you and hcr office and take over its function of registering refugees has been met with criticism. in the past malaysian enforcement authorities had turned back boats carrying ringo refugees. the government's recent cracked down on undocumented migrants raised concerns that refugees were also caught up in those rates. that's led to questioned whether refugees can depend on the government to treat them with dignity and give them the help they need. as haines russian opposition politician has been awarded the vaclav havel, human rights prize. vladimir carol moored saw, was arrested in april for speaking out against the warn ukraine. his case was heard to the moscow court on monday could face 20 years in prison if convicted. the current council of europe presented the award to his wife in his absence. in 2 days of russia, vladimir putin speaking, the truth is considered to crime against the state. yet,

despite the rest and the threats and the tidal wave of oppression, thousands of russians have voiced their opposition to the war on ukraine. according to human rights groups, some 19000 people were detained by police and aunt at anti war protests since february, nearly 4000 faced administrative charges for speaking out against the war. dozens, including me, are now imprisoned for it. funerals been held for a palestinian boy who died after being wounded by israeli gung far. israeli forces shot 12. you will mock with some of the d on september the 28th during a raid in june in the occupied west. fine. he died on monday for other palestinians were killed in last month, so peroration and around 40 others wounded. israel's been carrying out nightly rates across the west bank since the spate of attacks against israelis in the spring killed 19 people. israeli fire has killed more than a 100 palestinians during that time tie once president has warned china that armed

confrontation is absolutely not an option even as she pledged to improve the islands defenses. singing when was speaking in taipei on the islands national day, china's foreign ministry said in response that it would never leave any space for tie one's independence. tensions between them have been high since august and a visit by the u. s. in speaker. nancy pelosi. well, we breaking donkey, i want to make clear to the beijing 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 the taiwan strait? i was touching full has more now from beijing. reaction from beijing today gives you a sense of why it's so difficult for there to be any compromise or consensus on that

. i one question responding to present size speech today, the foreign ministry here in beijing said that said taiwan has no president because it's not an independent country. and also said that the root cause of the problem lies in the democratic people's party. in its insistence on taiwan independence and secession, remember china has never ruled out the use of force to bring taiwan back into the fold as it were. and this really wasn't stark contrast with present size message, which was no doubt directed at beijing. she said that a war is absolutely not an option. and she also said at the same time, it was the broad consensus among the taiwanese people that they had to defend the islands, freedoms and democratic, a way of life. notably, she also talked about creating the space for constructive dialogue between the 2 sides. the timing. it's significant because it comes a week ahead of the communist party congress when leaders will be gathering here in beijing to discuss a range of issues,

including no doubt taiwan and what the strategy will be moving forward. but it's very difficult to see any dialogue between the 2 sides, particularly because of the central government here sees the democratic people's party and tying one specifically as separatist forces. north korea's might, the 70 cent anniversary of the willing workers party celebrations were held across young young with elijah performance in cities named square. citizens paid their respect to king john allen and his predecessors in all the ceremonies on monday. north korea are several mas as over the past 2 weeks is fine of what it called tactical nuclear trails. and asian prime minister ismael, sadly, yeah. comp has diesel parliament that pays the way for national elections to be held in the coming weeks. the election commission wilson and as the date of the po for malaysia, king said he's disappointed in the political upheaval. i think you mean by placing chile of fire tear gas at protest as during a demonstration in the capital,

the group march through santiago, demanding official recognition of the macro. she indigenous culture and ancestral lands started peacefully that seemed descended into chaos with offices chasing demonstrators. water cannons were also used to disperse the protesters. a 3rd of frances fuel stations are running short because of trade union strikes an oil refineries in storage sites. drivers are facing long queues and closures, as they struggled fill up their tanks. trade union accused taught our energies of black male for offering to pay to bring forward paid talks. if the union ends in 2 weeks strikes. well then 60 percent of francis refining capacity has been taken off line 11 could therefore come what? yeah, no, it's really a disaster for me. i have a child with a disability. i've been on the road all day to bring him to his caregiver. i find myself practically using my reserve. i'm in a panic, wondering if i'll find petro north america as well. it's catastrophic. we can't

move around. i work close by. but for those who work far from their homes, it's catastrophic. i hope it's going to be sorted out. look at this line. it's unacceptable. how do you expect people to go to work? the nobel prize for economics has been awarded to 3 u. s. based economist ben benign keith douglas diamond. and philip dive big one to 2022 award for their research on banks and financial crisis. or we spoke to douglas diamond a little earlier, he says banks and i are in a much better position to whether financial crises, banks are structured in a way that if everybody thinks the banks might fail, that can cause them to fail. it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. and that's not the only reason that financial crises occur, but that's the reason you can get the collapse elephant but crisis where bad things are getting worse and worse and worse. so the lesson for today is that when you

have these huge, unexpected events like you know, the war and ukraine and the surprise increase in inflation and interest rates by the central banks. that the, the policymakers need to make sure that every thing is adapted and can, but to be stable so that people don't get fear that. but there's some kind of plan for a lot of the vulnerabilities have moved outside the banking factor. and we may see something in the insurance sector like we did in the united kingdom, which we actually may see something going on right in the corporation sector. it could be that the amount of leverage loans which are high yield loans, that risky loan, that a number of companies have not that actually much get more likely to be where the problems are.
