carefully, don't know how the simple things you need to do, go ah, feel the magic discover the world around you. subscribe to d w documentary on youtube. this week's russian airstrikes targeted ukraine. but they reminded nato. this is a war that is too close for comfort. today, nato said that is increasing security along its eastern flank, a clear message to vladimir putin. don't bring your boar to us. with that of course has already happened in ukraine. president zalinski today telling g 7 leaders. the

air attacks this week make it clear. time is running out, his military needs more air, defense weapons from the west and they need them now. i broke off in berlin. this is the day ah, we have to stress that intentionally directing attacks against the civilians and civilian objects. that is objects which are not military objectives, amount to a war. i didn't know was the reason why it was the was that flynn prison students thought this is more. he must additive the timing of the attack seen when people are commuting to work. um, children are going to school, it's particularly shocking that it brings anger and that fear person is failing in your crime. we urge the russian federation to refrain from further escalation

also coming up at natives ability to defend itself from any russian aggression is that being compromised as weapons are delivered to ukraine. so by doing that, they had reduced their sauce. but that has been the right thing to do, that the longer is war, dr. song, the more important is that you also then are able to replenish the sauce or to our viewers watching on p. b. as in the united states into all of you around the world, well welcome. we begin the day with a country under renewed rocket attack from russia. as the invasion of you've crane goes into, it's 8 months people all across the country are once again hearing sirens, taking shelter. this week's air strikes the broadest to hit ukraine so far. a dozen rockets slammed into public buildings. today in the southern city of separation, the explosions had off a large fire and killed at least one person. you tax have destroyed vidal

infrastructure as well as homes. a dash cam capture the moment that a missile slammed into a streets in the city of the negro pedestrians ran for cover and murderous. took a vase of action the kremlin. it says that the airstrikes are in retaliation for a ukrainian terrorist attack. over the weekend. a blast that destroyed the bridge connecting crimea with russia. it's still not clear who or what caused that explosion. today in an emergency meeting, g 7 leaders promised to support ukraine for as long as it takes. and they warned vladimir putin against using nuclear weapons for ukraine's president zalinski. the russians. ret tonight remains in the skies. to day he once again called on allies to send his military more air defense weapons should only lose it by dear friends, as prime minister trustworthy do. prime minister trudeau prime minister kiss she

died. then the 7 day precedence shall michelle the land. yup. day or sla fun, the lion that i ask you to provide financial help for the creation of an s shield for ukraine. millions of people will be grateful to the group of 7 will to such assistance resume is of equitable joining me tonight here, the big table is someone who knows a lot about security in ukraine. her name is q roodick. she is a member of the ukrainian parliament and leader of the opposition voice party of familiar faces. we're happy that you're actually able to be here in the studio with us to like the 1st time we've been able to do that in a long time. it's good to have you with us. fantastic to hear. thank you so much for having you are here in berlin, and today the german government confirmed that the iris t air defense systems have finally arrived in ukraine. when you got the news. what went through your mind? did you say better late than never? or too little too late?

rather to little to late because they're huge difference between 2 days ago. and today. i there distractions of their energy infrastructure in ukraine that would cost millions and even billions to rebuilt. and that would come again from our european country partners, including germany, from our allies in the united states. the difference is huge. it actually hurts me a lot that are there 8 months of war, we still are asking for exactly the same thing that on the day one, we are asking for air defense systems and for the fighter jets because not only they will be helping us to protect ukrainians territory, but when we're talking about the nuclear threat, and i believe we're all thinking about the nuclear threat, having enough of the air defense systems would actually increase our chances to intercepting this sound. but i didn't know that at the beginning of the war, you were calling for a no fly zone to be established over ukraine. but sir,

do you believe that's? that's not going to happen according to the u. s. president, he's not willing to go that far, but he said today he is willing to keep sending these air defense systems to ukraine. if you get the number of weapons that you need, do you have faith now based on how the military has performed, that the military can create a protective air shield around the country with those weapons. we will need much more than president biden from asked us. but this would be a fantastic step forward or regarding things that are impossible and not happening . let's again recap on the day one of one, nobody believe that we will be standing for more than like 2 or 3 days. look at us now. second, then nobody believe that we will get the heavy weapons because it was so dangerous to give it to us. look at us now, then nobody believe that we'll get candidacy to european union. and that happened. then nobody believed that we will be on counter offense and look at us now. so i

think impossible, things tend to happen when there is like a resolve as it is ingrained right now. so i do believe that maybe not right now, but this idea of giving us enough of their weapons to create an offer on for ourselves would happen at some point the prospect of peace, peace talks. i know that a president zalinski says out of the question right now, but today the russian foreign minister said that russian president putin would be open to a one on one meeting with you as president by next month at the g. 20 summit. do you cj, in that possibility there is that the creation of a possible off ramp that we've talked about now for a long time, for putin and a possible way to begin ending this will look in terms of peace negotiations, and i will say peace negotiations. it will always go down to this eternal question of who is the security guarantor of that put in the most keep his part of the

bargain. maybe not even putting in somebody else on another leader of russia. because we know very well what it means to me. is that russia, we have been at war with them for 8 years before the invasion happened, and we have 0 trust. most of all, we know that if they promise you something that will break the promise. so for us to be sure they would not attack again, there would be there should be somebody else who will be saying ok, i'll make sure if president by there and the united states, i willing to do that. that's great. but i want us to understand that would actually, it would mean this country going to work with us because because we know that we can break his promise. i was asking you earlier about the issue of territory in crimea and also eastern ukraine, the don't bass if it were possible to begin piece taught. and if it were possible to present a, a compromise, what appears to be a compromise. ukraine gives up crimea. the russians give up our claims on the don

bass. is that something that you can imagine? i know it's early, but is that something that you could imagine the government in ukraine would be willing to at least consider? i don't think at this point now or president zaleski was vaguely and we are not trading on the territories. vienna trading on our people. and right now, that pin is so deep and so unbearable for grayness that i didn't see that there is an even as small space for a for consideration. before you run out of time, you're here in berlin, and you know that today the international monetary fund, it talked about possible global recession, but recession here in germany because of the energy crisis that's resulted from this war. everywhere you look, it seems people are talking about problems, crises that have been caused by this war. and yet the whole show that people's

resolved to stand with ukraine remains. do you have faith? that's going to stay that way as the winter approaches of 1st the fall. it's not the we're in ukraine that raise that the energy prices putting rent on them like a year ago. even when we just started talking about that he can attack and why you with anybody seeing that, if the war would be over that put in will just become as such a good person right away and will well lower than the prices. does anybody like literally honestly believe that i do not think cell cell, but i also know and i see this in all countries that they visit, that people do understand it. we are fighting for something more than ukraine for democratic values for our freedom. and for this concept that one country can just next territory of another country. it just cannot happen in 21st century. and this needs to be stopped. and we have talked with you the put in will not stop yourself

. that's true. we're going to stop him. we, we've had that we talked many times and you're right, your message has stayed the same. that is true. i can say that you're roodick. it's good to have you here in the studio with us tonight. thank you. thank you. and clarity crane. well, it was his strikes on civilian targets and ukraine. they are changing little on the battlefield from the north to the south. the kremlin is still losing ground. ukrainian forces are pushing their offensive in the south after breaking through russian defences near their song. ukraine is pushing further east after taking the strategic hub of alignment and keep as it defeated russian counterattacks aiming to retake loss territory around. bah, moot. my next guest tonight is samuel romani. he teaches politics in international relations at oxford university in the u. k. he's also the author of the upcoming book putin's war on you crate, and it examines why putin opted for in all out regime change in ukraine. and it

looks at the future implications of his invasion. mr. money is going to have you with us on these missiles, strikes across ukraine that we're seeing this week in response to the destruction of the kish bridge. is that the, the truth there? or do you see this as an attempt by putting to plaque kate angry hardliners, who think that this war is not going where it should? well 1st of all, there's a blended evidence that now there was also released by the ukrainian military intelligence services or a gore, dac. it was actually the defeat in lyman at trigger this account. and that if you live and is very important, because it really brought out to criticize criticisms, the russian ministry defense from various hardliners. and those hard line is informed something out in, from a block, as probably expressing itself on state median telegram, a privately exerting pressure. and bladder. it includes key figures like tissue and strong. my rams and get your um g, i'm acre, a guy, analog gurley on who are met?

drury, i was a former general and dad the wider group had, had jennifer goshen and he figures may have also been important instrumental in the appointment of the new commander circus, or the can was brutal, strong arm tactics. and siri are being repeated now and ukrainian said it, i mean what, what you're describing. it sounds like putin is a leader who was fighting a war on 2 fronts. he's against the, the ukrainian military, but he's also against the, the hard wine pro war faction at home. how much pressure is he right now under to put on a show of force and to produce some results and in what he calls a special operation. all the ironic as thing was at 67 months ago, the people as she and that if the warden go to plan and the russia started having military defeats. if the russian economy was that battered by sanctions, it would be the people of russia coming out in the straits. it would be the liberal di ab pro anti war. i demonstrate, edder's, he'll be out trying to haul her boots,

overthrow be the election of amaze. who might gabby threatening the kremlin, backed by a liberal grip, and an anti war group as in completely silenced by russian garage and repression. and by the relentless, died of propaganda that the people have gotten which is dull them into passivity. and now he's having to deal with the new tre elite a small minority not is very vocal and very, very influential. my look of who's res, involving and who is not a pander to that group. otherwise, i think there's going to be the potential that internally that refreshes them inside russia. would you agree that vladimir putin is no longer in control of the narrative that surrounding this conflict? why he has control the narrative. he also controls the day to day operations is hardly very closely and he's taken personal at orders from the generals and he often bypasses their geisha go and other grass. emma has something that impact outside organizations. they've been used any of war, had that talked about that something that i've done in june. my research for my own

book. the book certainly has control over the operations and, and as a 9 to a man, he's making decisions than obviously leading the country down a bit of a dark path with militarily. and he does control the, the narrative. but he has to show that he's responding to this group and i thought he was doing and camped it asked why also he's ordering the foreign ministry to keep using the phrase, terence, him describe the ukranian government because these hardliners have been calling the special military operation vicki converted to a counter terrorism operation for many months down. what do you make of the new commander of the special operation of who is appointed several days ago? i mean, he does not have a pretty past if you will. i mean, he's a, he's accused of using chemical weapons on civilians in syria. i think he was in prison twice. i mean, is he the hard guy, the tough guy that putin had to put in place?

well, let me certainly sir, begin his emblem of the corruption side, the russian lodger. as you can see by the imprison, immense. and he's been long p handles and all of them as well. of course he f time and he's got from a very similar con o'clock, your previous commander. they had, i was entered warner, cough by dorner. cobb was unable to convert his battlefield results from syria into the greeny theatre and remains to be seen where the survey can do the same. i mean, clearly it's track record marsh like veronica as point to brutality. in 1991, he was one of the only police officers you shot demonstrators, not by get got appraised or be blank. given any progression, he was the command who was in control when syria got the majority of their territory under government control and aleppo fell, but that was due to a lot of other factors including the yeah, west and dead. the gulf states coming back to arms, appliances are in trouble. so i really can't blame it, bram. but i think we could see though, is that when russia was stalling offensively and syria engaging relentless bombing a civilian infrastructure to disrupt the enemy. and then launched an offensive. so i think that the strengths will be happening more regularly. i may have seen

brushing media commentary say as a see to be done for several weeks in a row. get it every day for the ukrainian lecherous teen of to be broken on. should launch a major venza. so what he might, you is instead of trying to fight back with mobilized forces in a media blitz, is you may bomb civilian targets for a greater time delay the events of and then launch it when you grant infrastructures in total. as the rad or the fest with the russians hope a bunch of as a was they had the weapons or the massage. busy to carry that up before we went out of town and just ask you, since you've researched putin extensively, what do you make of today's news? that putin is open to meeting you as president biden. and next month's g 20 summit . well, they have who is always open to these kinds of meetings. he wants to show these isolated in the well stage. and he also wants to shout at the world savaging superpower at the united state. it's still coming to him and i've how will be framed and the out west you in the russian media discourse. it's exactly how on

a smaller scale it's framed when a manual, a macro, or left shelf, or any other european leaders. we're talking to him in the past, so i think he uses that propaganda. p. r. gesture at home. we share the russian. tonight. let it in practice. i don't think anything is gonna come out as meeting. i don't think there diplomacy. a lot of it that is way to accomplish anything in the near term, at least not diplomacy from the last, from jeff, from your money, from officer university in the u. k. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. yes. ah, nato secretary general, you in stoughton berg says, now is the time to be firm with russia. the date of chief says that the alliance will carry out its annual nuclear response training exercise as planned. despite the war in you create cancelling the maneuvers, he said, would send the wrong signal. stoughton very cold president, putin's nuclear threats today, dangerous and irresponsible. and he warned against starting a nuclear war. that,

of course, could never be won. he says the conventional war in ukraine might also prove unwinnable for russia. tankless press on tooth and it's failing in ukraine. so i think what we saw yesterday is actually is on the weakness. but was the reality is that they're not able to make progress on the battlefield. russia is actually losing on the back of the giving opportunity. so the way they're able to then respond is by, in this committee attacks on a, the ukraine and see this in many ways is actually reflects the lack of alternatives for preston put in. there are losing wrong. they had lost the momentum on they show that this war is not going ass. clowns. t w's. terry shows. she was at that native press conference today. she joins me tonight from all. we're brussels offices. good to see you, terry. what were the, the main takeaways from this press conference today? well, brent, you've mentioned a couple of them already. of course,

everyone wants to know whether nato's, detecting any change in russia's nuclear posture. and today's children berg says that despite the ramped up nuclear rhetoric coming out of the kremlin, they haven't seen any signs that, that moscow has actually advanced in any way to use those nuclear weapons. so continuing to warn against that at the same time, and nato is warning russia not to carry out acts of sabotage against allied infrastructure. of course, there are a heavy suspicions that russia did carry out these attacks on the nord stream pipelines which release all this gas into the, into the sea. and also perhaps the sabotage on german railways over the weekend. so nato has increased the presence of ships in the nor see to try to deter and detect who might be planning acts of sabotage on its infrastructure. but you know, when nato says that it will stand by ukraine, as long as it takes still from burg, had to acknowledge that the longer that does take the more difficult it is for

allies to sustain that level of, of support for ukraine as well as maintain their arsenals at home. so that was something that i asked the secretary general about whether allies can continue increasing their weapon supplies to ukraine, even if that means dipping into their own stockpiles at home. let's hear what he had to say. you said that you will be making decisions at this meeting about how to increase national stockpiles and keep your keep your arsenals full while supplying more to ukraine. but for example, with the air defense, the air to air missiles system that germany is sending, that was something that germany was expecting to order for itself. estonia has sent its entire shipment of javelins to ukraine. so are you worried that while allies are supplying ukraine with everything they can, they are leaving themselves unprotected at home and what will be your deliverables out of this meeting that will change that in terms of manufacturing, processing, streamlining and so they dollars have provided

unprecedented support to ukraine or with the capabilities, the weapons, ammunition, the different types of mito support and that is something of course we welcome on that. we have encouraged this from an athol and of course, but much of the support to think all i have provided the javelins, the air defense systems, ammunition to have from other to crane that has been taken from the c existing stocks. so by doing that, they have reduced their stocks. but that has been the right thing to do that because it is important for all of us that ukraine wins. um, the battle, the war against the invading russian forces. but because if tooth and wins, that is not only a big defeats ford ukrainians, but it will be defeat and dangerous. for all of us, their culture will make the world more dangerous on it will will make boss more

vulnerable for further russian aggression. terry stone beg, he is being very careful, isn't it? but what is the answer to the question that you post, have nato members, have they compromised their old events? is by sending weapons to ukraine? will interestingly in his answer, he's being very careful, but he's actually also being quite candid in admitting that national stocks are now being depleted because of the need to send these weapons to ukraine and whether they're reaching a danger point. i don't think anybody would say they are at this point. what was explained to me by the assistant secretary general for defense investment is that countries have a comfort zone by which they wouldn't like to drop below this. and now some of them are, and some of them have said publicly that they're worried about this, but that doesn't mean that they're vulnerable to, to any kind of attack yet. at the same time, one thing nato is going to have to focus on is how to increase the speed in which weapons can be manufactured. because, well, for example,

is donya sent its entire shipment of javelins to ukraine. that means it doesn't have any at home. it very much would like to replenish its own stalks. the same with other countries that are, that are sending weapons to ukraine, germany with this air to air missile system. so i think that this is something that nato is really now galvanizing itself to try to answer. and you're the star post that would have to be replenished in that could mean big business for us, defense companies or you could possibly push european countries to come together. were cooperation on defense. are you hearing anything like that? i mean, is it like it will mean both of those things. of course it's big business for us weapons manufacturers, but also for european weapons manufacturers. this is unquestionably going to be a bonanza for, for companies like that. because nato allies are going to have to order more and more weapons again, as we said, to replenish their own stocks, but also to consider continue sending to you cream. now more and more because they don't have these supplies on the shelf,

they're going to be buying them directly for ukraine. so yeah, there's no question that manufacturing industry is, is going to earn a lot of money out of this. but at the same time, i think that something made has been looking to do for a long time is get countries to order things together. they haven't been willing to do that. and now that is really going to streamline the process and make it more efficient by giving manufacturers large enough orders to ramp up their production lines. to re schultz is always terry. thank you. and finally, angela lands berry. the small town sluice on that caught tv series murder, she wrote, has di. she was 96 for family, says that she passed away in her sleep. at her home in los angeles, murder, she wrote was a staple on the small screen it ran for 12 seasons with lambs, very playing a withered mystery writer who was always one step ahead of both the criminals and the police. before her, most like conic role is very was big on the big screen. her film roles earned her 3 oscar nominations for best supporting actress angela lands,
