military has pushed back. it's russian invaders to night. this wars 2 presidents, one with good reason to feel emboldened the other with good reason to feel embarrassed. i'm bring golf in berlin. this is the day ah, november moves, no, it may be possible to temporarily occupy our territories and we will be politician, but it is certainly impossible to occupy our people outside all the tests that's by the one to exploit any kind of division between mustang, these last months have been extremely hard on you, but it's a we're on our values. the do that is why i ask you take care of yourselves. it is

a war on our future. ah, also coming up a day of pageantry and pathos in london, crowns and more crowds assembling. waiting and waiting again to deliver a final farewell to the queen. this, the crowd suddenly fell completely quiet. it was silence. and with the coffin pulsing by with the music that was a powerful, it was think it was incredibly emotional and, and still, and at the same, i might, you know, i was back to our viewers watching on p b. s or the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day where ukrainians are now reclaiming territory from the russians. today, ukraine's president zalinski toward the eastern city of idiom, where just weeks ago, the place was occupied by russian forces in what was as much

a declaration of victory as a show of defiance. zalinski to day raised the ukrainian flag over the city. after 7 months of the russian invasion, ukrainian forces have suddenly reshaped some of the battle wives and advance of the east in the south, at whitening speed, forcing russian troops to retreat just as quickly. and that if sending shock waves all the way to moscow, russian president vladimir putin is facing unprecedented criticism of his war policy. there are calls for him to ramp up the war effort, including a general draft. but to night, putin is resisting, insisting that ukraine will remain a limited operation. we have more now in this report, put in the city of his union, president zalinski shakes the hand of a ukrainian commander. thanks to his troops, hot whack city has now been liberated from russian forces. but there's been so

much fighting here that there's not much of it left. there are no surprises if you know that it, that's not shock for me. the view is where shocking, but it's not shock for me and we, we began to see the same pictures from butcher from the 1st the occupied territories. so the same destroyed, builders killed people. and so what can i say for you cranes? ne encounter offensive has seen the ukranian army take back a wide swathe of territory in the space of just a few days, but residence here. a shell shocked what they endured during 6 months of russian occupation is just starting to come to light in the battle scarred city of balla,

clear southeast of hoc give reports of torture. are emerging 0 live criminal day. you made me hold 2 wires attached to an electric generator to the members that were the faster you spend distance in the higher the voltage and courtney, they kept spinning it and asking questions. they said i was lying for profit, and so they did it more and you thought it happened to some prisoners every of the day when the floors are sure was visible vulgarly, with the ukranian army back in control residence. he longed to put the dark days of war behind them and see the ukrainian flag rise over the country. once again. my 1st gifts to night is a zalinski insider from june 2019 to june 2021 yearly amended served as the spokesperson for ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. it would be the crucial foundation for her new book published this week,

which is entitled the fight of our lives. my time with zalinski, ukraine's battle for democracy and what it means for the world. you william endo joins me tonight from new york city. julie, it's good to have you with us this evening that the pictures that we saw today, the flag going up over territory that had been controlled by the russians just days ago. that flag being hoisted by zalinski. how did you feel when you saw those images? well, thank you 1st for having me. second yes, ukraine is regaining back and staring trees. and it's really fascinating development that all the country has been waiting for the last 7 months is like 7 months of the battle of the fight for a long, very existence. and now when we see, and when we have shown to the world that we can regain the territories back, we hope that the community international community will stay unified. and we'll

hope i will provide as all that, what you want is, and resources to fight to russia. out on the territory of ukraine, you know that one and a 2000000 of ukrainians still stay in occupation under russia and also on ukraine. i is moving not only in the north and east and east of the contract, but also trying into move to the harrison region, which is my home town region, which is in the south and the country. and this also brings to go, i, to the, my, i to me that you know, i feel like my own home town can be liberated very soon. let me ask you this rapid ukrainian advance that we have seed. it apparently caught the, the russians by surprise. were you surprised at how quickly events unfolded and how you know this, this course of history began turn? well, i'm not a military expert to be surprised,

but i've heard so many ah fascinated descriptions of what is going on on their a battle ground from a very match and me military people from generals around the world. and we all understood that ukrainian army is capable of winning this war because we understand that our people have a very determined and very devoted. they have what to fight for. contrary to russian army, our modulation ease, to take our territory and to stand independent country, we are fighting here for the values and we are fighting for the democratic way of live. we have chosen that instead of russians and even look at the russians, 1st a wall and the corruption became a part of russian identity. and that's why they, i me, came in ukraine and very soon they didn't have food and fuel and they didn't have what to and how to fight with. and the 2nd is they don't have any more to waste and

just to come and kill people here in your grain. you the, i want to talk a little bit about your story. i want you to, if you could, to take us back to june of 2019, that's when you joined. what was then that this new modem is zalinski administer administration. how radical of a departure was that administration to the ones that ukraine had seen previously? well that's definitely was a big shot out. let me say that will admit alaska was an absolute in of these 2 ukraine and politics. i'm describing a lot of details in my new book, the fight of our lives and describing how this person from an end to time in business comes to politics and changes it forever. but before that, when to old school politicians wanted to run elections for the president of ukraine . i saw that ukrainians had sought fatigue. they were so irritated by this old school man of behavior at president lance game of them as the landscape gave

a lot of hope. people really saw him as an equal one, as the person from the people. and they wanted him to change ukrainian politics. he wants 73 percent. this is the record. let me remind you that and he's done it. masonry forums. up to now and stanza, some military leader, me, he had a, a strong mandate when he came into office. and how, how do you explain this? we've got a man who made his career as a comedian who has morphed into this incredibly affective commander in chief into this respected war time president. let me say that comedian was of course one on here, his most popular roles. everybody saw him on the stage and he was really hilarious . and he was really a very talented comedian. on the other hand, what was not seen, what was behind this stage is that he is a lawyer by education. and that he has built

a huge and fire of humor. if you do business in both of his base, it is a big challenge. so there he actually developed as a leader while seen all this challenges in knowledge assault, as he even stood against more ask of pressure to was his own career and actually decided to not to continue in moscow. but to build this big business in ukraine. i'm sure that this is where he is character as a leader ah, developed and grew. and to be frank, i was there for 25 months and i was trembling with him to don boss that russia had invaded back in 2014. the military actions had been lost in for 8 years and i saw him going to the front lines, just a handshake with the soldiers and even going there when the shelling was renewed, to show that the leader doesn't run away. so i, i was not surprised that he stayed with ukrainian people when there was a threat to his life and to his family. and actually,

when russia was approaching to key, if you, who would you say is more responsible for this incredibly, a strong sense of ukrainian identity that we see on display today. has it been president zalinski or has it been russian president vladimir putin? that's an interesting question. i'm not sure it is the one i can respond, but ukrainian identity has been always different from russia. you know, even in a team 12, you can read some notes from russian generals who were traveling on the charger of ukraine. and that still wasn't the russian empire what was called, but at the same time, in this notes it is reach and that people see that the live days different people are different foods as different languages, different houses and different identity was different ukraine consider that we have been fighting russia for the last 400 years, but to fight for democracy, for the values to fight for independence of really ukraine as an equal and strong

country is happening right now. well, i'm sure there are lots of people around the world who hopes on the best for you and you, craig, and hope that this fight for freedom, you know, ends sooner rather than later. you'll the amended author of the fight of our lives, my time with valencia. we appreciate your time. please come back and talk with us again. thank you. thank you for having me. ah. today, european commission, president ursula from the lion delivered her annual state of the union address, and it was all about the russian invasion of ukraine and the energy crisis. the war has triggered right here in europe. now the president said, and i'm quoting, we should have listened to those who know putin was that an admission that hindsight is 2020 or wasn't an accusation of willful blindness by europe's leaders

. we're going to discuss that in just a moment, but 1st more on today's speech. they enter the chamber and strasbourg side by side, european commission chief or the law fund, a lion and ukraine's 1st lady allan, as ellen hska, as symbolic gesture, to emphasize europe, solidity with the people of ukraine. at this crucial moment of the war, you have given courage to a whole nation. you have given a voice to your people on a global stage. you have given hope to all of us. so today we want to thank you and on ukrainians, glory to a country of european heroes. flava ukraine, funded lion said the you fully dorothy with ukraine would remain unshakable, promising an additional $100000000.00 euros to rebuild ukrainian schools. but she didn't announce any new sanctions or new weapons delivery will have repeatedly

demanded by the government and keith. instead, she focused on the challenges the youth facing like the energy crisis. with more and more consumers struggling to pay their bills, the commission wants to reduce overall electricity consumption, help companies who have liquidity problems and introduce a cap on windfall profits. in these times, it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers. in these times, profits must be shared and channeled to those who need at most. i proposal that could raise more than 140000000000 euros to cash and, and low up, skyrocketing energy prices fund alliance said, and measure, well come by many you lawmakers, surgeon with a set of measures that all will help on the one side decrease demand on the other side decrease the prices, and i think this set is really needed to 1st of all give

a signal to the market that the prices are too ridiculously high. and 2nd of all, make sure that citizens are much more secure that their b, it will be able to pay the bill. but we need to do much more. we need to really at reinforce and, and triple their, their, their investments in renewable energy sources. the war in ukraine is changing the european union. and the energy crisis is the best example for that. the measures proposed by it was a law fund. a lion are a good start. many hearsay, but more needs to be done to make sure that a cold and difficult winter wants trigger war fatigue in europe and undermine solidarity with ukraine. or. and i wanna bring you now matthew carnage, that he is. the chief europe corresponded at politico. he joins me tonight from scotland. matthew, it's good to see you again. i want to pick up again on what ursula on the line said

to day this quote where she said we should have listened to those who know who jim . is it clear to you who she is? we who she means when she says we and when she says those who no point in is she talking about well, thank you for having me. i think that she left that intentionally vague because even within europe, there's a lot of controversy about this point because for years you had the baltic countries, poland, for example. others warning about the dangers that russia posed for the european union and both the commission in brussels as well as large governments, including those in france and germany basically ignored them and said, you know, that they were, they were hysterical. and that it was necessary to engage with russia to pursue

dialogue. as german chancellor angle of miracle said repeatedly. so i think that she was sending a message here both to, to ukraine as well as to those countries in eastern europe who feel that they haven't been taken seriously enough over the past years. do you think there was a, maybe a subtext there to germany that germany should be engaged in a lot of soul searching? but for, you know, for the fact that it, it finds itself in the situation that it is now. visa, the russia and vladimir potent well, i think this has been really a dominant theme since the beginning of the war. germany has been reluctant really to go all in, in terms of punishing russia. they have supported sanctions, but they've also been somewhat reluctant to deliver the military aid

that, that ukraine would like their again, germany has delivered some weapons. but for example, they've refused to give you crane battle tanks. and the one thing that that founded lion who was previously the german defense minister really didn't get into detail. and today was this question of military aid in what europe can be doing more. and she also left out the fact as she was congratulating europe for, for doing so much to help ukraine. that the real reason the brain has gotten as far as it has so far in this war, has been the 8th. it is received from both the united states and the u. k. and some european nations, particularly poland. but there's a lot more that europe could do here. but this is something that she seemed to be really not wanting to get into too much detail about today. and did she miss the point there? matthew, i mean,

what you're describing is what has happened is what has happened, the u. k. the worth they've provided the lion's share of support for you create, especially when we're talking about weapons. shouldn't ursula underline have used this opportunity almost to reprimand and to scold europe for letting down the ukrainians? well, you would think so, although on the other hand, you have to remember that she's in a difficult position here. she has to play also a diplomatic role because even though she's the president of the european commission, which is a grand title, she doesn't really have that much power. and everything that she does has to be agreed on with the 27 member states and the large member states her own country. germany in particular, have a lot of power and influence on, on what you does. so i think that she always has an eye on not offending people

too much suspect there. it has been a lot of talk, particularly the last 6 months about a paradigm shifts here in germany. especially when we're talking about foreign policy. but also the notion of responsibility and leadership. do you see a new germany emerging here that can assume more of a leadership role for europe, especially when we're talking about matters of security? well, particularly on security. i just, i just don't see it. leadership has to be earned and there is so much distrust of germany as a result of the way it is handled itself over the years towards russia. its support, for example, of the controversial nord stream to pipeline project, which it held on to entail. russia invaded ukraine in february despite the objections and really loud cries for many of its allies to,

to not go forward with that project. and so there's just not really a basis of trust that you would need for germany to take a leading role here. and in fact, what you're seeing is more countries, especially those in the east, especially poet, especially the baltics, looking even more towards the united states and saying, we do not really want to pursue these ideas that french president emanuel mac. chrome, for example, has put forward on more european defense infrastructure, this idea of strategic autonomy as they call it in europe, because they want to build on the, on the transit mantic security arrangement, which has sort of proved its weight in gold in ukraine so far. and just wants statistic on that as a last month, united states had given $25.00 times as much military aid to ukraine as,

as germany. and you could argue, well, united states is a much bigger economy and so forth. but it's not $25.00 times bigger. and it's also not in ukraine's neighborhood, and the security of united states does not really depend on what happens. and you can't do the same gree that, that germany does. so i think there's still a lot of resentment within europe, particularly in eastern europe, towards berlin over the way it's handled itself and it's continued refusal to send battle tags in particular to to ukraine. nephew huntington, and we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. ah, in the u. k. long lines, long queues of people have formed as people wait, their turn to pay their final respects to queen elizabeth thousands are filing past

the coffin to say that final farewell ahead of the queen's funeral, which is scheduled for monday earlier today. tens of thousands of people lined the streets of the british capital as a royal procession brought the queen's coffin to westminster hall, where the late monarch is now lying in stay, ah, this is the moment the queen left the palace for the last time, talked with the imperial crown, the monarch wore on brear formal occasions. queen elizabeth's coffin made its way through central london on a horse drawn carriage. at this viewpoint, many stood waiting to catch a glimpse. the procession moved past them at only $75.00 steps per minute. the pace typically used for sombre occasions. you know,

i was very upset, saved suit such a strong cow from them. you know the, the crowd suddenly fell completely quiet. it was silence. and with the coffin pulsing by with the music that was so powerful. after 38 minutes the coffin arrived at the hall, where king charles and other members of the royal family, attended a service held for the queen. the late monarch will lie and stayed here for 4 days . the parliament hall will stay open around the clock for members of the public to pay their respects. but the queue, which already started forming 2 days prior, is long. the wait may take as long as 30 hours cement, so most with yes, she was amazing. yeah. so reactivate huh, yeah, yeah, i mean she, she sure become freeform was something to use. i think you have holidays wage to
