a physician is on the line with dots, november 25th, one d w with this is d. w is live from burling ukrainian forces advance in the south. after russia announces its withdrawing from the key city of pass on, the key warns moscow could be preparing to turn the house on into a city of death. also on the program, u. s. president joe biden sets off the un climate change summit in egypt as his

country face is mounting pressure to start leading the fight against global heating . netflix releases its latest installment of the crown, the show chronicling the lives of the british royal family. how wise is it to mix topical fact with dramatic fiction? ah, i'm sho, get welcome to the program. you credit forces appear to be closing in on the strategically important southern city are half a day after russia said it was withdraw him from the area. keith says it's re taken more than 40 settlements and that if moscow's retreat happens, full recapture of the region. it's like me to take at least a week. as russia still house, somewhat something around 40000 troops. little scoop of moving closer to the

city of her son, the ukrainian flag is flying again in dozens of small towns around the regional capital. over instantly her rifka about 50 kilometers north of her son. people gather to thank soldiers as they enter the city. but not everyone here shares their sense of euphoria who's and it's still very, very scary when you drive through the region, you see how many villages have been bombed, that her so much destruction of our school is destroyed, that not a single window with lag. all the buildings are shattered. we all know stared wood for the 1st time since moscow launched its invasion and february guns have fallen silent in this village, close to the front line. this man who has been living on humanitarian aid for months has only just heard of the liberation of neighboring nor rifka renewal

only with hello referrals. you know, there's no food all or nothing there. i was aimlessly people who are there right now, told me they have no food. oh nothing. what we'll do is we have to bring them food . garages, little waller, boom sema. those who have survived the shelling are wondering how they will make it through the winter. with oh, we've had no water supply since the end of february. they are bringing us drinking water to a school. we can bring water from a nearby well with our tractor, but it's not really drinkable here, the 2 sides keep volleying rocket at each other. soon, a hoodie yesterday i was removing leaves and right behind this building it was terrible. the battle went on with machine guns for weeks. ukrainian forces have been advancing on her son. it's loss would leave russia with few territorial gains since the beginning of the war. so how far is ukraine from completely re taking

hassan? i asked our correspondent, nick conley in, keith. well, as usual, phil, the ukrainian military authorities keeping pretty tight lipped about the kind of occupational situation on the ground. we heard from the defense minister with that prediction about it taking a week. but, you know, given the kind of very nervous and sometimes in panicked kind of messages, reports were getting from pro kremlin military bloggers over the last few hours of the night. which seems to jeff as a kind of total collapse in russian morale and russian logistics in and around capstone. but the command has taken all the kind of big equipment bits of kit away to the other bank of the river, the kind of anti aircraft defenses. basically leaving lots of the russians, they are very vulnerable to ukrainian artillery and drone attacks. this could end up going foster of c will remember that the ukrainians have been very nervous and rich days. but this might have been a trap, some kind of provocation, to lure the ukrainians in and then see them face pretty stiff resistance from kind

of some of the better trained russian units. that doesn't seem to be the case right now. doesn't seem like the russians were able to plan this well to, for all of kind of the russian commands announcement that this was a planned and coordinated withdrawal. it seems like this is actually turning into a bit of a route. and what are ukranian troops finding us a liberate settlements? finding lots of mind, lots of booby traps. oh, we've had widespread reports of looting by the russian troops leaving. and if the report guy was kept silent, believe there's also been methodical and kind of planned attempts to destroy the civilian infrastructure and have sought to basically leave you with a destroy city. so we've heard about mobile phone infrastructure, or even things like the kind of sewage system and the power system being destroyed . so for the people who are left a house on this important, remember that there are comparatively few people still left there because lots of left over the recent months. and most recently, in the last few weeks,

they've been kind of put under pressure by the russians to move into russian controlled territory on the other bank of the river. this is going to be a very, very difficult place for civilians to survive, to enter my. and is this really a pivotal moment, say in this conflict, or all the merely symbolic while you're right in the sense that this isn't the 1st major defeat, the russians are faced in recent months, hearing grain. we'll remember what happened in had given in or out had give, earlier on in the autumn. it is important because it means basically russia now cannot cut ukraine off from the sea, from its ports that attempt to kind of take that back the coastline is now essentially over. i think the big deal is about the kind of internal russian story . if it turns out that russia isn't able to protect some of its best troops when it gets on and bring them out in a kind of controlled fashion. if you know these claims of a kind of plant withdrawal turn out not to be realizable, and lots of russian soldiers end up feeling like that they've been basically thrown to their own dear left their devices kind of thrown to their fates by their command

. that could, you know, all buy something much worse in terms of the kind of broader morale and russia's ability to dig in on the other bank of the river. here the plan seemingly is to kind of dig in on the eastern bank of the river and try and hope that ukraine kind of runs out of steam, loses the kind of economic war. and it's western part and stop putting pressure on key of to come to come some kind of negotiated settlement. but near right now, if these reports are to relieved from verizon, then the russian military ship is really not doing well. communicating with its own people and offering them some kind of hope that this is a war that russia can win in some form. thanks a lot. nick connelly in k. so here is a more stores making headlines around the world. the crime says at least 5 people have been killed in a russian strike on the southern city of mich alive near hess. on this video, released by the ukranian presidential office shows heavily damaged apartment buildings the cities best as rescuers of digging through the debris or survivors.

by working with the climate, the private sector. the rest congress recently passed a $369000000000.00 package that aimed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent, by the end of the decade. partly by giving clean energy tax english at incentives to u. s. companies. and this week in sharm el shake, us climate envoy, john kerry announce the creation of an international private sector supported carbon offsite offset initiative to help poorer countries at accelerate their transition away from fossil fuels. we developed countries, we, the largest economy in the worlds 2nd largest emitter, have a special responsibility, do less developed nations, the 3rd world to the south. and we need to do and we'll do what is necessary to help make sure that this is a just trying to i still carry. let's get more from beatrice. christopher from

d. w. 's, environment desk. welcome to the studio, u. s. delegations have attended numerous climate service in the last decade. is there anything different about their approach this year? yeah, the as a top looter, the u. s. has been going to the summit and has always been making promises. but this is the 1st time that they have significant climate legislation that it can point to back home. because earlier this year, president joe biden signed into law the inflation reduction act, which includes a $369000000000.00 package to tackle climate change. so some of money, for example, would go to tax incentives for renewable energy technologies like wind and solar. and analysts say this could cut emissions by 40 percent by 2030. but critics say that's still not enough because the official us target is a 50 percent cut. right. okay,

i will. we herbert us envoy climate and by john kerry there, he's introduced a plan to raise cash for climate action in the developing world. just give us your take on that. and it's a very controversial plan because it proposes voluntary market where companies can buy carbon credits and to offset their greenhouse emissions. and then this money would go to poor nations that even though they don't pollute very much, they've been at the forefront of the climate crisis. i mean, just look at the floods and pakistan that have displaced notions of people. so then the idea is that does money would help them kind of transition to cleaner energy, to cleaner economy? the critics, they is just giving companies away to pay someone else to, to stop polluting. instead of the companies themselves cutting their emissions and the discipline confusing a week or so for people who are, who are watching the climate crisis. because last week we had the u. n. a telling us that that we have virtually no chance of meeting these climate goals. and now we

have cop 27 way. where leaders fly in from all over the world. we're on cop 27 a. we're appear to be on a tradition trajectory to hell. one wonders if there's any point in these meetings? that's right. i mean, a really big promise that could possibly not be med, is from the plan parents agreement where nations pledge to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels. the way that we're going right now, the way that we're burning fossil fuels right now, we're headed to temperature as that's nearly double that. so yeah, critics, i've been saying that these and at some of these cars, there are nothing more than green washing events where leaders can come into their own horn and make empty promises that never materialized. but at the end of the day they do keep the spotlight on the climates. i mean, we're talking about it right now, are we because of that? and hopefully it also forces at least incremental change. ok,

thank you so much for joining us. beatrice beatrice christopher. from our environment. thank you. and susan, 5 of the british drama. the crown was released on netflix this week. the series chronicles the life and times the british monarchy under the night, queen elizabeth and its later season is its most controversial. oh, house royal's channels damage the country's reputation house of winter should be finding the nation together. setting an example of idealized family life in 19 nineties and the british war family is under strain. my behavior is threatening to bite you as future king have a duty. married to discord, public descent and a fire at windsor castle 12 months and through a tool the queen left manage her family and the reputation of the royal brand. in
