systems for ukraine. on tuesday, western allies pledge to support ukraine through the winter. after russia targeted electricity lines and water pumping stations. nato says it will help rebuild energy facilities and provide generators and fuel. the alliances chief yen stilton berg accused russian president vladimir putin of using winter as a weapon of war. pledges of unwavering support for ukraine came from nato secretary general d. n. stolt, and burg. along with a warning that russia is weapon, ising winter by attacking energy infrastructure, he says nato has found new ways to help ukraine. president putin is trying to force ukrainians to freeze or flee until they allas made additional pledges. non littler support, including fuel and generators, helping ukraine or to address the consequences or over

a shall sir strikes against their power grid. and the u. s. has announced it will supply equipment worth $53000000.00 to help repair ukraine's electricity grid. earlier stoughton berg had assured romania that its air force and troops were being backed up by extra reinforcements. romania has u. s. f. 16 aircraft that are replacing outdated, former soviet megs and their pilots saw fully stretched. everything is under pressure. so we weren't timely mean to though them we fight to again the 2nd. romania coordinates with other nato forces in policing. its aerospace defense to the skies above nato's eastern flank has never been so intense nato faces of colossal challenge. not just in the air with on the ground to russia would call this escalation,

nato prefers the word de terence here us in romanian forces on exercise. recently. there were tests of aaron missile defenses, but ukraine is saying, such weaponry is desperately needed it side of the border and the supply line of weapons that are available. this to slow decisions on weapons decision on one hand. production line weapons in western countries have to be made faster. the quandary nato faces is that it won't take a direct hand in the deployment of weaponry. and so it's down to individual states, but some only want to give non lethal support. ukrainians may well observe that if energy infrastructure is repaired, it won't last for long unless ukraine's air defenses aren't drastically improved

sooner rather than later. lander simmons is life for us now in bucharest. so andrew, what are we expecting from foreign ministers on day 2? well into broader issues now i'm one of those is to try and reassure small independent states that have russian influence and they're worried about their security. now the primary countries are bosnia, that's a governor of georgia and moldova. these are small countries that are really suffering from high prices. and as you being thrown by russia to high prices directly, and also the cost of living pressures lead to instability. russia also involved in destabilizing these countries. nato is trying to make out that it will support these countries, even though they are not members of nato mas ryan salut,

foreign minister of estonia, has said, nighttime must ensure that russia should have no chance to dictate security options under way of life to its neighbors. also, you could expect on wednesday talks about the accession of finland and sweden, that concerns about russia possibly wanting to take military action against them because of that nature. membership that worried about that that they want to have nights or membership just to actually protect themselves that have been objections by these 2 states. turkey is one of them, and that is something that also is concerned in terms of that demands about what should be done, able to get accession. they're expected to be some developments and thought thought i had a,

which will mean that these 2 countries can join without any further ado. now, on the issue of weaponry in ukraine, which is the big issue. that's really the, one of the biggest issues at this foreign ministers meeting. i'll talk to the sidelines going on, no doubt whatsoever about that. ukraine not wanting foster delivery of weaponry more ammunition is, which is one of the other problems, but also the issue of defense. now they're all, they're all weapons on that way. and there's no doubt that there is a supply of defense weaponry. but it's the sophistication of this that's under discussion as to whether or not patriot missiles should be used. these at the us made of missiles, which are probably the most one of the most effective means of defending the skies above ukraine. no agreement on that yet. but possible developments ahead there is a real understanding. it would seem that the has to be an increased protection of

the skies above ukraine. it has to be any hope of all this infrastructure, energy infrastructure being damaged all over again if it is indeed repaired, with all the supplies that are being supplied by nato in the u. s. in particular, bring again, expertise and equipment to try to restore the grid. all right, thanks. i'm on chandler simmons there and at least 2 people have been killed and several injured in a suicide bombing in pakistan. it happened in the southwestern city of quatre a police patrol team was the apparent target. earlier this week, the pakistan taliban ended a cease fire deal with the government threatening new attacks. in china, protests of being reported in the southern manufacturing hub of gong jo. residence falls with hazmat suited riot police. calling for cove at 19 restrictions to be

made remarks on china recently. these nations have enough issues to deal with at home. we hope they would hit the waste that interests of their own people, instead of pointing fingers at others. let's get more now from patrick falk. he joins us from hong kong. let's start, 1st of all, with the protests in mainland china. how they shaping up to day. yeah. well, as far as we understand, there has been quite significant protests going on just across the board from here in hong kong in wong. joe, there were clashes that took place overnight so that you showed some video that just a moment ago. and these are perhaps, arguably the strongest protests and reaction that we've seen so far. there were men in hazmat, security dress and has met, suits lined in formation, holding shields. and they're also videos of protests as throwing bottles in one video, a glass,

a tig gas canister is seen being thrown as well. so this does seem to be an escalation of this protest movements if you like. and it's coming despite authorities warning that there would be no tolerance for any illegal behavior. some of these videos have been verified with told that it isn't high jew district. remember one joe was really the sense of john is covert outbreak right now and hide, you has been one of the worst affected areas. plenty of people there have been on the lot bands for long periods of time. now, we are also hearing just a short while ago, the center for disease control has announced it will remove boost restrictions in high jew, possibly as an attempt to appease people there. but said they have said that they won't do so in the areas of which are most seriously affected. but it's hard to say whether or not this is going to be enough to ease the tension. and we're also

hearing that there may be another rant of protest to take place later on today in beijing, we're hearing the demonstrators are planning to organize themselves to go out and once again, hold up blank sheets of paper as a form of protest symbolizing discontent. over censorship and pantry, when it comes to hong kong, how sensitive are protests they're given. the city's history with demonstrations. well, as we said before, a lot of what's happening right now has really struck a chord with people in hong kong and, and i spoke to a protest just a few days ago who said they felt that this was helping to connect them with this movements in china right now in mainland china right now, and that he hopes that people across the border would understand what prompted them to come out in 2019 and protests the way that they did because they felt that many

people in the mainland saw them as being people that just resorted to violence to solve their problems, but you know, it's worth saying as well that a lot of this is happening while authorities have been trying to ease off on some of the restrictions we did here. thought he said that they would try to refine some of the measures. and so we're also told that of course they're going to have this vaccination drive for the elderly. but there's still a lot of uncertainty about what's going on. interesting to see what's going on in the chinese media. they've definitely softened their rhetoric on cove at 19 and have been putting out videos of people that have been infected, but have said that they've been recovered. so it does seem as if they're trying to move towards a signal that, you know, it is possible perhaps to live with the vice at the same time though, there are these investigations going on. these inquiries going on in the people

that have been involved in protests that will have prompted a lot of fear. we did think that perhaps that would be the end of this movements where people being too scared to come out and demonstrate it, but it appears right now from what we're seeing. that this may not be the end of it . and that the actions taken by authorities already have not been enough to quell the anger or i will leave it there. thanks so much. patrick falk. heavy rain has flooded several areas in the lebanese city of dounia. traffic came to a standstill. some cars were submerged in the coastal city. lebanon's roads are poorly maintained, is it struggles with its worth economic crisis in decades. the us says its forces in northern syria have reduced the number of joint patrols of the syrian democratic forces. a group mostly made up of kurdish fighters. pentagons of ounces comes ahead of a possible turkish ground operation. anchor aims to clear its border area of kurdish

i saw people are kept a and this is important for the cooperation of the united states and the sd f as the partnership is based on fighting against. i sold a but let's not forget to case also part of the a counter i so international coalition, a fighting against iso. so apparently it, since the number of the sd of forces on the ground are reduced as they are deployed to areas like l whole camp or some other places that the s d f and y p. you would think it can become a talk us for the turkish air strikes, the u. s. had to reduce the number of, of patrols as well. and we have spoken to some locals in the kurdish held areas and, and they told us those joint petals and do not have much on security. but of course, since the curse, especially in combining who have a trauma of i. so if from 2014,

when i so sees the city a listen, this is this gives that those joint patrols give confidence to locals out there. but also i have to say that the 3 days ago, let's remember at the u. s. forces in northern syria was targeted by some, a, bombs, and the u. s. said there were no casualties, but as sore a war monitor agencies said that and those were fired or by the iranian back if i true. so if for united states, of course being safe on the ground is very important as well. i have to say that there are so many per a so many players on the ground and syria, a, all of them have a vengeance against each other. but one thing is clear, they are all negotiating and no law wants the united states to pull out despite trickier always slammed the united states for its support of the y p g. they are nato allies and the u. s. military presence, at least the way it is right now, is also important for turkey as well. all right,
