help turn the tide of the war in his country's favour. let's go to our diplomatic correspondent in dnipro, paul adams. we haven't had formal confirmation of this from the white house but in your view what would have changed this approach, this change of tactic? g approach, this change of tactic? �* ., , . approach, this change of tactic? �* . , . ., tactic? a i were affected. you are right. _ tactic? a i were affected. you are right. it— tactic? a i were affected. you are right, it hasn't _ tactic? a i were affected. you are right, it hasn't been - are right, it hasn't been officially confirmed by the white house but has been so widely confirmed off the record by, to the american media, that i think we can take it as read that something we will soon hear about, that something we will soon hearabout, possibly that something we will soon hear about, possibly even this evening from president zelensky. i think this is the result of recognition that ukraine faces a rarity difficult winter —— very difficult winter —— very difficult winter —— very difficult winter with russia on the advance on the east. and

coming days ahead of an expected russian— north korean offensive in the kursk region, the region of russia, the little fraction of territory inside russia that the ukrainians have occupied and held since august and i think it is clear that washington wants to help keep hold onto that territory, put apps as a bargaining chip for some future negotiations. iii bargaining chip for some future negotiations.— negotiations. if those missiles are present — negotiations. if those missiles are present as _ negotiations. if those missiles are present as i _ negotiations. if those missiles are present as i think, - negotiations. if those missiles are present as i think, we - are present as i think, we think they already are and ukrainians have permission to use them over 300 kilometres, their capability, it presents all sorts of problems for the russians and puts many of the airfield within range. lots of their logistical help is within range, it could seriously complicate a russian effort to retake that territory in kursk. we understand but do not know for certain that is the limited

scope of this permission so far, but i think it will make a difference there. i think the other thing worth bearing in mind, this could unlock another decision by the british and french governments to use the storm shadow missile, also at greater range. another thing that the ukrainians have been demanding for some time and washington has been resisting. it is not necessarily a game changer, i talked to one military expert in kyiv this evening who said it was a significant moment, it could help ukraine hold its own, balance the forces in this fight. but that it would not bring the water in a kind of quick conclusion.— quick conclusion. paul, of course president - quick conclusion. paul, of course president biden i quick conclusion. paul, of. course president biden has quick conclusion. paul, of - course president biden has two months left, president elect donald trump has a very different view on ukraine. what would you expect to happen in two months when donald trump takes over?— takes over? there are all sorts of wa s takes over? there are all sorts of ways of— takes over? there are all sorts of ways of reading _

something thatjoe biden deaf administration would like to try and engineer if it possibly can, even though it won't be in office if and when that moment comes. . y ., office if and when that moment comes. . , ., ., office if and when that moment comes. . ., ., comes. paul, you have to looking — comes. paul, you have to looking at _ comes. paul, you have to looking at the _ comes. paul, you have to looking at the back - comes. paul, you have to looking at the back end . comes. paul, you have to| looking at the back end of comes. paul, you have to - looking at the back end of some of this as our diplomatic correspondent and we can now see your report into the background behind this. this was one of the largest attacks in months. rescue workers pressed into action all across this vast country, especially the south. ukraine's electricity grid the main target, triggering power cuts. but russian missiles and drones hit private homes, too. after almost three years of this, there's exhaustion and fear.

ukraine's electricity grid was the main target, triggering power cuts in several cities. and when the power goes, so too does the water — for the people of 0desa, a long trudge to the nearest emergency supply. i don't think we will get water today, sastulia, maybe tomorrow, in the evening. president zelensky congratulated the men and women of ukraine's air defences. including natalia, shooting down her very first cruise missile. "did it hit?", someone asks. "yes", comes the answer. translation: it is difficult - to find any place round ukraine where the missiles were not targeting and one of the missiles even crossed the moldova border. in kyiv, parts of a missile shot down by ukraine's air defences, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. when the sirens sounded, some headed for the capital's famously deep underground. after almost three years most now stay at home but winter

is approaching and russian forces are advancing in the east, there is a renewed sense of pessimism and danger. paul adams. joe biden has become the first sitting us president to visit the amazon rainforest. (00v)he's arrived in the brazilian city of manaus, where he's meeting local leaders working to protect the region's ecosystem. in the last hour, president biden has flown over a stretch of the rainforest, to view waterways, fire damage and a wildlife refuge. some would seek to delay or deny the clean energy revolution under way in america. countries around the world are harnessing the clean

energy revolution to pull ahead themselves. the question now is which government will stand in the way and which will seize the way and which will seize the enormous economic opportunities? president joe biden speaking _ opportunities? president joe biden speaking in _ opportunities? president joe biden speaking in brazil- opportunities? president joe biden speaking in braziljust| opportunities? president joe l biden speaking in braziljust a few minutes ago. what do we read into this at this point in his presidency? he is trying to send a message where he thinks the united states should take these issues, well aware that donald trump's governing approach when it comes to climate change is very different to his, sojoe biden today announced for example he was putting $50 million into a fund to help

make the arm is unsustainable, that money has been passed already by congress, it is a law. but there are other areas donald trump might try to reverse us policy on climate change. you just have to look on his previous record. he took the united states out of the paris climate change agreement, appointed as his energy secretary someone who said there isn't a climate crisis. you can see there are very diverging approaches on how to take the green issue going forward and to thinkjoe biden was very much sort of thing i think this is the approach we should be taking, trying to indicate, i think that was a certain sector about donald trump and where he might take the united states going forward. the united states going forward-— the united states going forward. , , forward. yes, there definitely was a comment _ forward. yes, there definitely was a comment to _ forward. yes, there definitely was a comment to donald - forward. yes, there definitely i was a comment to donald trump saying, to his successor, saying, to his successor, saying should they choose to do so, take it forward. do you think the things he has announced that they could be

reversed by president trump? i think certainly a lot of what he has said today as i understand it from briefings from senior officials has already had congressional approval. some of that money will flow as planned. that has already been authorised. the difference will be going forward, if some of the stuff is released in tranches for example as i understand it will be, does donald trump decide actually we will not release further tranches of money, and certainly in terms of further climate change decisions they will indifferent under a trump administration than with biden. billions of dollars for example giving to things like battery factories, ev plants and that sort of thing, finance made available for green energy project. i think it is probably far more likely we will not see those sorts of things going forward. donald trump on the campaign trailfamously

this report the crowd are shouting freedom to political prisoners. that is one of the main demands here. the others are an end to vladimir putin's rule in russia and an end to the war in ukraine. a lot of the chanting has been about ukraine, people chanting no to war and chanting for more help for ukraine including more missiles to arm ukraine to defend itself. which is quite interesting because lots of people have criticised the russian opposition in the past for not supporting ukraine enough. do you feel russians have done enough to stop this war, to stop the suffering? i don't know what is enough because we are doing everything we can but it is never enough. i think we need help, we need help from the whole world. nothing like this is possible in russia today where the political repression is intense and even referring

to the invasion of ukraine as a war is banned. that is why many people here found the importance of being here because they wanted their voices of opposition and protest to be heard. to say these things in europe they can no longer say in russia itself. there are millions of people in russia who feel the way we do. millions who are against the war and against the putin regime but in russia it is impossible to do what we did that because for the smallest act of protest you will get many years in prison. as did so many others still in prison. the protest march has ended here outside the russian embassy in berlin where the protesters want their voices to be heard more than anywhere and particularly on a day when russian missiles and drones have been launched against ukraine in massive numbers.

dozens of people have been killed after israel launched air strikes in both gaza and lebanon. in northern gaza, a multistorey building housing palestinians has been struck in beit lahiya. officials from gaza's civil defence agency say at least 26 people were killed in an israeli air strike, with many trapped under the rubble. the israeli military says it is investigating the reports. there have been israeli strikes elsewhere in gaza. these pictures of al—aqsa hospital in deir al—balah were filmed by our freelancer as israel does not allow foreign journalists free access to gaza. children were among those injured taken to the hospital. in beirut — an israeli air strike is reported to have killed hezbollah�*s media chief — mohamad afif — one of the few remaining public faces of the group. he was last seen on monday, when he gave a news conference in beirut�*s southern suburbs, where his brother is headquartered. to lebanon now where the country's health ministry says at least another 29 people have been killed by israeli

air strikes this weekend. 0ur middle east correspondent nafiseh kohnavard has been to the site of a strike in beirut, in which a senior his brother leader was killed. here is a very central area of beirut and the building behind me in the dark is the headquarters of a baath party building in beirut. and mohammed afif, the head of hezbollah press office, he had a meeting here apparently. we could hear a big missile flying over central beirut. we could hear myself flying over head and coming and landing here, which is very close to a very kind of christian populated area of beirut in central part of town.

it is outside the southern suburb area. it is not a hezbollah stronghold or anywhere that hezbollah people normally are there. but here it is a very mixed area and the attack created a lot of fear. we have to move, because still they are removing rubble. we are not sure that they have recovered the body, because a while ago they asked us to stop filming in this direction. because usually they don't allow media to film the moments that they are bringing out bodies. the situation is tense, people are scared, because this is another sign that nowhere in beirut can be safe, because this attack happened without any warning, because it was a targeted assassination and it is in central beirut and the situation, as you can see, is very,

very tense around us. we start with football — england have been promoted to the top tier of the nations league, finishing as group winners, after beating republic of ireland 5—0. harry kane scored after the visitors had a player sent off and they didn't look back. anthony gordon scoring his first goal for his country helped them to an emphatic victory at wembley. also among the scorers was connor gallagher and substitute jarrod bowen here — with his first senior england goal. it was also a night to remember for taylor harwood—bellis, who scored on his debut. the perfect way for interim boss lee carsley to sign off, with thomas tuchel taking charge from the new year. to rugby and wales are now

to confirm britain's place in the semi—finals. the world number 2a made a great start winning the first set by 6—2. fernandez fough harder in the second set but was unable to keep up with boulter who took the second set 6—4 to give britain victory. great britain will face slovakia in the last four. after viktoria hruncakova won the opening rubber, rebecca shramkova ensured their place in the semi—finals with a straight sets victory over australia's ajla tomljanovic 6—1, 6—2 meanwhile jannik sinner has become the first italian to win the atp finals title after a commanding straight—sets win over america's taylor fritz in
