12:01 pm
order a day off to crowd stoled, government buildings protest to say they're considering the next move us president joe biden olds talks with israeli prime minister yellow p as part of a visit intended to underscore the deep ties between the 2 countries ah i'm gabrielle says, welcome to the program. and we begin with breaking news from ukraine. russian missiles have struck the central ukrainian city of v needs. the. this is mobile phone footage of the aftermath of the attack. local authorities say that at least 3 missiles hit an office block and damage nearby residential buildings. at least 12
12:02 pm
people are reported did. and many more of the legislative cross over to the w's. and they calmly and gave nick a severe attack in the heart of ukraine. very far away from the front lines that we know of what war can you tell us? what exactly the nearest frontline fighting to v. it's about 400 kilometers away. the city that hadn't seen much in the way of attacks from the sincerely part of the war when the military air fields on the edge city were hit by the russians. first, real attack on the downtown area and pretty extraordinary images coming now through social media from vanessa presence lensky, talking of russia as a terrorist state. or near the ukranian line. all this that this is a decided a kind of conscious tactic by the russians to hit civilian targets in the hope that this will spread panic and terror behind the front lines will encourage audrey ukrainians put pressure on their own government to basically give in to russia to
12:03 pm
come to some kind of deal on moscow's terms, given that russia isn't making the progress on the front lines through traditional fighting, but they'd expected. now what does this tell us then about the direction that this war is currently taking as a sign of strength from the russians, or rather, a sign of desperation. think it's a bit of both. i think it's, is russia once again trying to show ukraine, but also the west that there is no corner of this country that is safe from russian missiles has to be said, the ukraine say they were able to intersect several missiles this morning to this will 3 managed to hit minutes, but a allegedly know the 4 were hit were intercepted, but i think the bigger picture is indeed that russia is struggling, is really increasing, frustrated, especially with western weapons deliveries coming. now, western rocket artillery, the high mar systems, we've seen a string of ukrainian hits on russian logistics hubs on russian. ammunition depot is and we've seen now in recent days, basically artillery it along the front lines. the rational to read that had been so
12:04 pm
effective in recent weeks would seen russia with huge, superior resources at its disposal. now really going quite, but they're basically being starved of ammunition by those ukrainian strikes. so a sense that russia now is increasing, having to rely on missiles that it can release from its own territory far away from where the cranes can get at it. and it basically in desperation now trying to basically throw these kind of heavy weapons around them in some hope that they must break the cranial resolve. but that's not something that seems to be working for now. but definitely a reminder to anyone here. ukraine, that when they hear that error signal buried alarm, how far away they off in the front lines. it's probably worth trying to go for cover because there is really no way that is safe, even if you're far away from a frontline or for military target. isn't it commonly for us in the ukrainian capital key? thank you, nick, shall anchor's interim. government has reimpose the curfew, the day after angry crowds, storm government buildings. the prime minister who is now acting president, has ordered security forces to restore. com. the testers have agreed to leave
