1:02 am
and sisters, ukraine will always support you. free people who will not be broken by tara or turn holl joined the cy from cave and jonah bring us right up to date with the very latest what he does was there from flood him is zelinski, the ukrainian president responding to these reports that have been filtering through during the evening and have created quite a stir of course, among european allies in europe, reports of to russian missiles, probably possibly russian missiles going astray perhaps during the wave of attacks and enormous wave of miss attacks across this country. during the course of the afternoon heating energy infrastructure to them, it appears falling on polish soil and killing 2 people. president lensky essentially saying they look, i've been warning about this sort of thing for months now that this is not and never was a war that could be, can compare, contains solely with an ukraine's borders that the chance existed every day that it
1:03 am
would spill over. and envelop other countries and other territories. and so it has, he uses those words, collect collective security as a signal that triggered to nato. that he wants nato to respond. and indeed that message picked up by his foreign minister to be true, co labour. who said that collective response to russians at russia's actions must be tough and principled. it must begin immediately with a full meeting of nato, including ukraine to discuss next steps. and specifically, he wants those next steps to include much greater weaponry for defense. they have, of course, received huge amounts of military equipment today, the ukranian since the beginning of this war. but the one thing they feel they could do with more of is their defense equipment. they've got very sophisticated surface to air missiles. they were very effective during the course of this
1:04 am
afternoon, shooting down some 70 of the 90 or more rockets and missiles that were fired. but they'd love planes. they'd love planes to be the prosecutor, no fly zone here. he asked f fifteens and f sixteens, and that's the one thing nature has been most cautious about supplying, because logistically, and technologically, it requires close native support and they don't want to be seen as coming to is seen as being in direct conflict with russia. mr. zelinski will calculate now that this is a moment of maximum opportunity opportunity to strengthen nato's collective support to ukraine and potentially go further and supply the weaponry, the air equipment, the group, the jets and planes that he's been asking for since the beginning of the war. and journal in poland, where this has happened and the last 2 punish citizens. we had reaction from the, the polish government, which has been talking to other governments around the world, including the us, presidents en route towards who what the punish response is.
1:05 am
well, the key thing is that it is what and decides to do next styling. poland went straight into an emergency security council meeting. as this news emerge, we haven't heard directly from the polish government since they've been negotiating or, or collecting evidence and communicating closely with their allies. read, i think, particularly the united states. they're the most senior of the nato allies trading very carefully, very gingerly over what is a hugely sensitive moment. this the possibility of russian missiles fired on to nato soil. do they trigger that collective security article 5 of the founding native nato treated treaties only happened once at $911.00. more likely, article 4 comes into play and we have heard from the spokesman of the polish government suggesting the government is considering doing exactly that in consultation with its allies. what he's nato nato's article for when it is, when any member among the 30 decides that their independence, security,
1:06 am
or salt sovereignty, or under threat, they could call a meeting of nato to dis decide what has to happen next. there is no need for any action to be taken. a unanimous decision is required, but this looks to be the direction in which we are headed now in the direction of formal consultations among nato members, led by poland as to what should happen next. turn a how thank you very much. indeed. your state department says the reports out of poland. i incredibly concerning. it says it's working to determine what happened and appropriate next steps. the united states. is it certainly not prying to escalate or insight that situation at all? and like i said, we have seen the same reports that you all have, and we are working with the polish government to gather more information. and we're not at a point where we can confirm some of these reports that we are seeing. and that's why i'm telling you that we will. armand,
1:07 am
when exactly is transpired and we want appropriate next steps as well. what else says us president joe biden has been holding talks with his punish counterpart? rosa jordan jones is leih from washington dc. and i'm, i'm guessing it's probably a bit early to, to know the content of that cool. that's right. there is not yet a read out from white house officials on what joe biden discuss with entrees, duda. but the president who is in bali was briefed on the incident and then had this conversation with his polish counterpart. it follows out phone call between the national security advisor jake sullivan. with his polish counterpart, there are separate reports which we have not yet confirmed. that the defense secretary lloyd austin may be speaking as well with his polish counterpart about this incident. just a few kilometers from the border between poland and ukraine, which i had been on the target of
1:08 am
a russian. a missile was shelling on tuesday. now it's not clear whether there have been any offers by the u. s. government to assist poland in its investigation of this incident. certainly of the various branches of the u. s. government are very much aware of what has happened and what could possibly be the unintended consequences, which would be a ratcheting up of the conflict between russia and ukraine, and possibly drawing in some of their neighbors who happen to be members of nato. now of course, as we have heard from joan a whole, there is this question of whether this was an intentional attack. and whether it was carried out by russia to questions that have not been answered. there's also the question of whether this is something that simply means that countries near the borders of russia and, and ukraine need to be on
1:09 am
a hierarchy defense posture as it were. but until there actually is evidence that investigated until the circumstances of what happened on tuesday. in that small village can actually be reconstructed, you're going to see a very deliberate, a very slow, a very cautious a response from the u. s. government, from the very beginning. it has been very concerned about trying to see any sort of provocation of this conflict. will note that just on monday, an awkward turkey, the cia director, bill burns, was meeting with his russian counterpart to deliver a message from washington that he doesn't want to see russia use nuclear weapons in it's war with ukraine. certainly, if you have that kind of conversation happening between 2 senior intelligence officials, it go, it stands to reason that the u. s. does not want to see any sort of military escalation, whether it involves conventional or nuclear weapons. certainly,
1:10 am
it does not want to see this war between 2 countries. spread to a 3rd, russian jordan in washington. thank you very much. in response, russia's defense minister is reported to have said statements. my polish media and officials about the russian missiles hitting polish territory are a deliberate provocation with the aim of escalating the situation and went on to say no strikes against targets near the ukrainian polish border. have been carried out by russian weapons. poland, as we mentioned as a nato member, nato allies from estonia to belgium, have reacted strongly. the lithuanian president, get on us now say to wrote on twitter concerning news from poland to night on at least 2 explosions, keeping close contact with our polish friends. if you and your stands in strong solidarity with poland, every inch of nature territory must be defended. and has been this reaction from the latvian foreign minister at going coach. tweeted that russian missiles hitting
1:11 am
the territory of the nato members, a very dangerous escalation by the kremlin, added that not fear, expresses full solidarity with our ally, poland, and will support any action deemed appropriate by potent russia will bear full responsibility for all the consequences. generic harry for sitters recently returned from cape join. me live in the studio. sorry. what's the situation right now we've, we've got this report of a, of a missiles going off and a mixed reaction from different areas. some people being cautious about that they're even saying and all the attributes, the blame to russia. that's right. we don't yet know exactly what it was that hit publish territory. i think it's important that we remember that of the polish government spokesman gave a pretty tough statement and he didn't answer questions as he was actually what happened. but what he did say was that poland was putting on increased combat readiness, some units increasing the readiness of already units are already in combat status
1:12 am
as a result of this incident. and he also said that holland was verifying whether to invoke article 4 of the nato treaty. article 5, of course, is the article that mandates every member of the treaty to come to the aid of any country that belongs to nato, that is attacked. so article 4 is one step short of that it is a country decides that it has had its territory threatened its territorial integrity, its political independence, or security than it can call for a consultation of all the members of nato and poland, saying that it is thinking about doing that. and so to, to there is a kind of a, can be a graded response content in terms of how nature react. absolutely. even if article 5 is invoked, that doesn't necessarily mean that military action will follow. as a matter of course, it mandates that to the collective self defense of nato can come into force. and
1:13 am
that any means necessary deemed necessary by the nato members, including military force can be carried out. so if it is decided or evidence is found that it was a russian cruise miss, i will, to russian cruise missiles that cause this explosion inside poland, killing 2 people then later has a number of options to choose from which i think most, most analysts would it would argue that it would be unlikely to be a major military action and a further escalation, given that i think if it were such a evidence of a russian attack, is it been deemed to be a deliberate russian attack on nature. will perhaps stray missile and of course there is always the option and the possibility. and there is some people investigating this as we speak as to whether it might have been an intercepted missile or a stray ukrainian defense miss. i think until that key factors established, it's quite early in the process to talk about military or other responses coming
1:14 am
from later. i was that thank you very much. or french president emanuel, my call says wednesday is 3. 20 meeting will be an important moment to draw attention to the situation as get some more european reaction from natasha about the in paris and natasha varying degrees of response to talk. talk to the main ones . yes, indeed. i mean, you just mentioned there person, my girl who's at the g 20 in bali. really many on the other side of the world to where these incident took place in poland. also there, the head of the council showed michelle who's come out on twitter and said that he's deeply shocked by the news ahead of the commission. on the line said she is alarmed. the belgian prime minister strongly condemned the incidents we've been saying. a lot of those kinds of messages, particularly from western european countries, who, although taking a cautious approach to what has happened, they are not pointing the finger at russia or anyone else. they all think that they
1:15 am
closely monitoring the situation. those are certainly the words of the german foreign minister a bit earlier and waiting to see what comes out of poland investigations. the french present amount of micro says it is absolutely necessary to verify what has happened with these explosions. he's not even calling these missiles and that shows you the sort of caution that has been exercised by many european leaders. is not what we heard though from some east european leaders and politicians. officials a little bit earlier. i think you already mentioned the latvian foreign minister, talking about these being a russian missiles also the slovak defense. and this, the thing that these russian missiles and the russia had to explain what has happened. so mixed reactions. but there is no doubt a lot of anxiety in a capitals across the european union, of course, and across the capitals of nato member states because data because poland is
1:16 am
a nato ally. it has been for many years and there has been a real fear in poland. that missiles might come across the border with some weeks of the beginning of russia's invasion of ukraine to some missiles landed very close to the polish border. only ukrainian side people in the village and pony close that boulder said that they could feel their windows rattled. they came so close and other bordering countries. the ukraine also very concerned we heard from you installed and bug as well, the head of nato. he says that of course natal members are in close consultations with poland and we understand that poland has called a meeting on wednesday of a native ambassadors to discuss the situation. and they will said one official of course be continuing investigation. but that could take some time about the thank you very much indeed. or his where the missiles are reported to have landed in the
1:17 am
village of fresh waldo village in southeast, in poland. not far from the border with ukraine. it's about 100 kilometers north of the ukrainian city of levine. earlier i spoke to baton, read logic, who's the editor in chief of unit, a news outlet in poland. a company in a countryside. it happened in a very small village about a 90 matters from the border of ukraine, close to the city. and on the other side of the border, there is the train station that is used by ukrainian train and would think that the train station was the target of the most valuable tag by russian military. and we don't know why them. we started went to the tray, we don't think we truly dumping that. poland was actually a target of their tag. but we don't think that the west high schools for some reason went to try and cross the border and folding poland,
1:18 am
2 things that were to my so i went to poland and that's what we know for now that's . that's all we know for now. the and the area where it happened is actually closed . the reporters saw from on it and other media in poland. they are trying to get to decide, i understanding is that they meeting the military experts who went to the side of the place where they went to place today. and they listening to the military experts and depending on what the experts told them, depending on what really happened because so far we don't know depending on what happened, there will be a reaction from the polish government. there would be a consultation with the night. i like with ultimate member member states. that's why you heard the pentagon spokesperson coming out that they don't know what happened so far because they also, they also waiting for the polar government to publish what happened for you just for the short break. ah
1:19 am
hello. once again, welcome to look at the international forecast now. well, we still have the flooding concerns into southeast and parts of australia. place to say that high pressure will gravity begin to not be swain as we go on through the next couple of days that have the effect of suppressing the showers. easing them out to the way the moment the wind still coming in from a southerly direction that cool direction, but temperatures will recover here. as we go through the next day or 2, still some showers. they're just around the eastern part so far near south wells. just throw out a c t pushing up into that. he's the side of victoria for ty more the way of showers up towards the top head. northern parts of the northern territory, northern areas of w way, still seeing some showers no sink a little further south was quite as heavier as widespread as we go through a thursday by thursday. things starting to dry up nicely across that southeast
1:20 am
corner of australia at long last. and it shouldn't be too bad as we go into friday . temperatures back up, around average for melbourne at around 23 degrees. but you can see some wet weather waiting in the wings pushing ca, south australia, turns wet and windy into new zealand over the next couple of days, temperatures falling away, crushed yet to route 80 degrees celsius sorta temperature. we can expect see across japan over the next day or 2. still some shall cross northern parts of the country, but largely dry for northern china with a new series, exploring how traditional knowledge from indigenous communities is helping tackle today's environmental catastrophe. we see how the melanesians people of the tourist straight fighting, rising sea levels, which threatened to swallow their islands, destinations frontline, the torres strait swallowed by the sea. on al jazeera lou
1:21 am
. ah, reminder of our top story here, roger 0. holden's government says it's raising the readiness of military units. after 2 russian missiles landed in its territory killing, at least 2 people, ukraine's president wrote amazing lensky has called it a significant escalation of conflict. russia denies its weapons, were involved french president emanuel my course. as the meeting of g 20 leaders on wednesday will be important to raised their awareness of the warden ukraine. after this blasts were reported in polish territory,
1:22 am
war has been dominating the agenda at the g. 20 summit in bali. jessica washington reports from that. as worldly did meet in barley, they were greeted by a leader who usually shies away from global diplomacy to focus more on issues closer to home. now as the war and ukraine takes its toll on the global economy, including developing countries like indonesia, joke, a widow took his place on the world stage with a warning for his fellow leaders of the g 20 year. responsible here also min, that we must and the war is the war. that's not the end. it will be difficult for the was to move forward. the war and ukraine is said to dominate the talks. it's the 1st time the group has met since the russian invasion and as many countries around the world struggle with rampant inflation and rising food and energy costs many say the to crises can not be separated. they've got chaos in
1:23 am
energy markets. we've got issues in food security. clearly the russian aggression in ukraine is the source of that, or most of the source of that which is ukrainian presidents. the loading zalinski address. the lead is virtually appealing to them to work towards extending a deal, which allows green and other food commodities blocked at ukrainian ports by russian ships to be exported. the original arrangement is set to expire incoming days. i believe our export grain initiative deserves an indefinite extension. no matter when the war and russian president vladimir putin is not attending the summit, sending his foreign minister in his place. sir, problem and all problems are with the ukrainian side, which is categorically refusing negotiations and putting forward conditions that are obviously unrealistic and do not correspond to the situation. the host of the summit, indonesia has repeatedly called for unity, routed g 20 presidency in the hope. members can focus on the global economic
1:24 am
recovery rather than what provides them and put aside tensions for the sake of the people they represent. in a meeting with the french leader, chinese president sheet and being said, the world has entered an period of turbulence and transformation. it's a message that has been echoed throughout this month of diplomacy in asia. while most leaders can agree the world faces many challenges achieving consensus on how to navigate those difficulties. is where the differences lie. jessica washington algebra, barley on some other news now and in the eastern democratic republic of congo. tens of thousands of people have left their homes as violence near the key eastern border city of gomez, where un troops had patrolling the streets. villages in the area become the scene of battles between the colonies, army and m, 23 fighters. the government accuses ronda of backing the rebels, a claim that country denies. welcome web. sent this report from when he gave an
1:25 am
image, were hundreds of displaced. people was seen making their way to goma we were just filming. so guys can retain us, comes of this slice people just off the hill from here. let me so dozens of congress soldiers on the back the most to buy car, now weapons racing pos, heading into the city. my son decides so you can see what's happening on the road. now, some of those soldiers were firing in the air carrying guns class because the rocky launches, they rushed into the city and not prompted to panic among the civilian population. much of these peoples from the can you retain a comes of this, say, staples, or they've already fled that home within the last few weeks. and now, because they've seen these soldiers who were apparently fleeing from frontline picked up whatever possessions they could and the heading into the city of goma, people here was scared of fighting. and also very many people referring to a scared of and 23. because
1:26 am
a history of the accused the right to be including killing execution, a civilian rates and torture as well. so people here and now heading into the city, a guy is just the n 23 with rwandan backing took in 2012. the following year they withdrew with defeated by the congress on forces about a year ago. their rebellion restarts. it is widely understood to have rwandan support once again. and so what a lot of people here wondering of what they fear is if and 23 fighters will take the city of goma. once again, international committee of the red cross says 2 trucks carrying medical supplies arrived in ethiopia, take ry region. it's the 1st military and a delivery since a ceasefire agreement was signed between the government and rebels earlier this month. in his 1st comments, since the truce prime minister avia med promise to implement the deal,
1:27 am
honestly saying it's necessary to ensure sustainable peace, a truce aims to end 2 years of conflict devastated the region, killing thousands of people and displacing millions. but to use f is the regional director for africa, the international committee of the red cross. he says the medical supply delivery is a welcome 1st step towards implementation of ethiopia piece to the truck. so we've delivered 40 tons of medical items, emergency medicines, but also surgical equipment to help cover the immediate needs of thousands of people in the region. a very welcome 1st step towards the implementation of the deal which, which is an important vector to bring more social services back to mckelly and the to region. it was quite mean very difficult to see the resumption of the cities that said the teams of the i c and the yoke and across have been providing
1:28 am
emergency assistance in the most effective areas of i'm and a far and mostly focusing on improving access to water and sanitation, but also on the medical side of things. so quite intense in this service opening will certainly be thought, continue supporting more and more our field teams with much needed to find out if any man has killed 3 israelis and wounded 3 others in an attack in the occupied west bank. the 18 year old attacker was shot and killed by israeli security forces . it happened near the eagle is ready, settlement of our, you know, group who's claim responsibility. but huh. pale the attack as heroic stephanie decker has more from west jerusalem. what we understand as stabbed the security guard as stabbed a few more people at a gas station and then stole a car driving against traffic, causing a car crash which killed another man and then ran out and was shot dead by the
1:29 am
israeli army. we understand now the army is in the village where he is from. this is pretty much what they always do when you have incidents of this kind. there is a back and forth with policies that been a general. so we understand some settlers have gone to the area, but it comes at a time of a real political. i think significance in the sense that benjamin netanyahu, the parliament convene to day, and netanyahu continue to try to form his government, including who to point his defense minister at the moment. best bezel al smarter. it's really once that post, he is part of that very far right wing party and he doesn't have much experience in the army at all. but he is someone with an ideology that calls for, for example, the expulsion of palestinians deemed hostile turn to israeli. dia calls for the annexation. ringback of the west bank, so this is in that kind of
1:30 am
a thinking. so seizing upon the incident today and saying that they need to do with the palestinians with a stronger hand the americans knocking at all to have someone like small church in that position. so this is the sort of atmosphere and the timing of it now, so i will try to launch it or to miss mood mission on wednesday after a series of failed attempts this year. it's the 1st test, right for the 98 me to no rocket. the most powerful ever built by nasa. it of last off from cape canaveral in florida to send it to ryan captured on a $25.00 day voyage around the moon test dummies. wrong as an astronaut will be on board 2 previous launch attempts in august and september were aborted because of fuel line leaks. and other technical problems. last week's launch was postponed due to hurricane nicole. quick mind you can catch up any time with all stories recovering or checking out our website address that is our 0 dot com.
