one that ukrainian officials have accused russia of mining and preparing to follow up so that it would cause devastation for advancing ukrainian forces. that's about all we have right now. there was a counter offensive going on. and typically when that happens, and you created a standard operating procedure for the military, not to comment, not to give too many tactical or strategic details until they have more news to report as far as how much they have just a couple of hours ago. ukrainian, president below dumars lensky put out his statement, which he said that there are over one and a half 1000000 ukranian households in various parts of the country without power this evening. official saying they are working as hard as they can to get the various regions that ukraine back online, get power to those households that do not have it to the parts of the country that do not have it. but it is a very worrying situation, especially at a time when there are increased concerns by citizens of this country. but russia is attempting to weaponized this winter. this is

a time when winter has not yet arrived. and yet, temperatures are dropping precipitously out of years gained exclusive access to one of the cranes military posts in hockey province area is just a few 100 meters from russia's border until recently was under russian control. so hey, melissa has more all the uncertainty is overwhelming. despite the uninterrupted shilling ukrainian troops wait ready for what will unfold, name, they stand by vigilant as ours turned to days near the border of khaki proven instead of cause barricades now cover roads that lead into the main city. the sound of shelling has become so familiar. it's now part of the soldier's daily routine, but not on the russians are attacking us on a daily basis that we're holding our own and defending our ground. we won't let the enemy set foot here again. for green,

4 months. the russians controlled this territory along the border. they eventually left, overpowered by ukrainian forces. much of the area now bears the signs of war, abandoned villages, and now military zones. surrounded by the aftermath of fierce fighting, al jazeera managed to go inside one of ukraine's barricades, where attack felt always the threat. the military posts were built by russian troops before they withdrew. now they used by ukrainians who also make use of the weapons left behind by their enemy arrows case on your approval were on the defensive, but were also and total control. we had defending us guys in our land. this here is an antique craft defense system. we use it to hunt them down. we are given access tony some of these trenches where ukrainians are developing new strategy. but beyond a certain point where told,

filming must stop throwing 1000000 lives. and so we dig ditches to hide from the enemy and for protection from the winters cold. trenches are warmer, especially if we set a fire. digging ditches is exhausting work, but they are very useful. military tools, friendship is fullness to hope over. most civilians have decided to stay away from the area even after russia's withdrawal. had he not that then because this post is so close to russia's border, ukrainian troops are in a constant state of alert innocence, expecting the unexpected. they know their russian counterpart for likely carrying out the same orders just a few 100 meters away from them out of shape. and that's the whole island journey bill. to have alaska al jazeera along the ukrainian russian border. the governor of russia's belgrade region says 2 civilians have been killed by shilling. 15000 people have been left without electricity after strikes on the region bordering

demonstrations swept through hong kong in protest against the proposed bill, which would have allowed extradition to the mainland many including hong source as a sign of beatings, growing control over the region. when i took part in the protest, i knew that there was a risk of losing my job, but that was my least concern. as i could find another job. in prison, he met fellow demonstrate his chorus and bernard. now the 3 import and sell fruit and trying to rebuild their lives. i think a pessimistic atmosphere is overshadowing hong kong now. everyone is scared under this new hong kong acts of defiance and far more discrete. while the most protest over small signs of descent remain tucked away in alleyways and hidden corners of the city. in 2020 pages introduced a new national security law for hong kong, while many said it marked a serious erosion in the cities democratic freedoms. others said drumstick action was needed to return stability to the city. i don't believe in violence. i don't

a lot of the people that are on the streets today. i got to say that this seems to be so far as smaller demonstration then the one that that's a surprise many here when the thousands of people tens of thousands of people up to the street at the end of september. that said, though, at the same time there is a growing concern in the country do not only to the very vicious reform that federal proposing, but also the fact that at the local currency, the pay. so i've been that hi me, the value a bit against the dollar in the last month. this as a further increase the number, the cost of a lot of basic goods and the country. and that is affecting everybody here. thousands of people in cities and towns across safety. opiate have held anti western rallies. the they were protesting against what they say is interference by western nations in the ongoing war. and to try and accusing the

money and high likes behind the men's game, including at the world cup level. while the prize pot has risen tournament on tournament, it still piles in comparison to the mens. my short answer to that is, yes, there is a long way to go. i mean, there's still enormous disparity, for instance, between the very top elite women for all isn't the very top, the late men. but of course, the counter argument to that is, is also a difference in revenue that hasn't deterred the player. is $32.00 nations will compete for the women's world cup title with the strategy and supporters hoping the national team, the matilda is. we'll have a home advantage i think, and trulia can win for shaw. i hope so. they're really strong team. they've shown some really good results. ah, particularly recently the women's will cupcakes off in july, next year 0 o'clock al jazeera.
