in an improved world, ah, the meeting of the loom wheels, sharks of the remote island of saint hulu is a testament to the quality of the mines waters. one of the many success stories from a bastion of biodiversity st. and starts november 18th on d, w. the ukrainian city of hair, so it was one of russia's 1st conquests, a regional capital city, symbolically and strategically crucial to the success of vladimir putin's invasion that makes the events of the past 72 hours. all the more stunning russian forces have withdrawn, ukrainian forces are returning greeted by cheering crowds for moscow. this is yet

another major blog. but what does this mean for keith? and will it make this war shorter or longer? i'm broke off in berlin. this is the day, ah, you will to day is a historic day, were taken back to sell to ukraine. we're taking back her song, herr song through almost 30000 russian servicemen and about 5000 pieces of hardware and military equipment have been withdrawn with their language. was, is, i think this is a huge blow to putin. ah, ah. also coming up divers off the coast of florida,

we're looking for crashed airplanes on the ocean floor. instead, they discovered what used to be the space shuttle challenger total aircraft. i think we didn't want to not do our viewers watching a p p. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome, we begin the day with the ukranian flag flying over the city of here san for the 1st time. in months today, ukrainian troops began returning to her san, a southern city that had been under russian control since the early days of this war. the events this week came at lightning speed and they raised all kinds of suspicions among ukrainians. on wednesday, the new russian commander announced that all russian forces in and around him on

were withdrawing, saying that the safety of his soldiers was now priority number one. ukrainian forces did not react immediately on the news. military leaders openly wondering if the retreat could have been the russians setting a trap. but today confirmation came that russian forces were indeed levy. and that is when ukrainian troops began going in and for some it meant going home. oh, hearing residents of her son hoist the ukrainian flag again in the cities freedom square. c it's a rare moment in the buses owns of ukraine. oh, the departure of russian forces and arrival of ukrainian soldiers has brought back hope. oh, the troops are returning to his guards landscape. these are images of antonia epsky, bridge. before's was destroyed. it was the only connection across the denise pro

river near her song. russian forces are believed to have blown it up as they pulled back. russia says more than $30000.00 troops are treated across the river to the southeast. the russian withdrawl from harrison is another glimmer of hope for ukraine, but the war continues on russia still lays claim to the region even after its troops relinquished the only major city be held in the south. my next guest is one of the world's leading urban warfare experts major john spencer v. as chair of urban warfare studies with the madison policy form is also author of understanding urban warfare. it's good to have you with as of now that harrison is in the hands of the ukrainian army. could this be a turning point in this war? absolutely. i think it's another major turning point, and there's been a few, but

a symbolic strategic in important victory for ukraine today. and remind us for our viewers, why is their song so strategically important? so sure, i mean, like the, the broadcast said as the only regional capital city that russia was able to occupy and by this one, early in the war. but despite knowing for months and weeks leading up to this, that it was falling in despite rushing their best troops, they had left to the hairs on region. so that wouldn't ball, they still lost it. so i think that's a very significant message to what the capability russian military in ukraine is given the western supplies keep blowing to ukraine. war is about, about old willis. ukraine is not going to run out of the wilderness. russia is, have you been surprised by how quickly it seemed that russia lost control of

harrison? no, no, no surprise at all. we've been watching as an urban warfare specially specialist the battle very closely as ukraine. isolated the troops on the western side of the denique, or a major obstacle for a long time, cutting them off from resupply, hitting a mission, depos at long range fires. i'm surprised that the russians left themselves this exposed for this long, and i don't believe that they successfully withdrew 30000 while they're gone. i don't think that many were left. they lost a lot of soldiers in this withdrawal, and a again, abandon more equipment. so they're, they're, they're holding strong to their position as a number one supplier of what this to ukraine. our corresponded in ukraine told me this evening that there are reports that there may be maybe as, as many as 10000 russian soldiers who were left behind. and let me ask you, then,

what should ukrainian soldiers, what should they be expecting? i mean, are they, should they be prepared to find hostile russian forces there? or are they going to find a hungry and cold men there? so i think you're gonna find a combination of it all the ukrainians. real have to move forward, and they've already put this out in messaging today that they're going to approach it very cautiously because of reports of russian soldiers donning civilian equipment and staying behind. or, of course, we've seen what happens to russian occupied areas, legality. beecher in kids, toys, all the horrors. so while this is a great day, and it will be celebrated by ukraine, they're moving forward very cautiously. but i think i'm going to find a little bit of everything to include more surrendering of russian soldiers. well, when you look at this, can you find

a strategy then that the russian military is following or what can you imagine the next step is going to be, do they have options now that they have withdrawn? so it's very interesting on what they might do. their strategy is a strategy of desperation. i mean, honestly, that once you lose the momentum in war, many of these, the strategy here was to hold what they could and hope for a slowing down of the war in the winter. and then maybe somehow try to offer a position negotiation, but they, they've never been able to reestablish their lines. they're that low on quality troops and supplies. the turn into north korea, turn into iran. they're, they're forcing social with no training into the fight. anywhere where they try to hold now is it zapper asia, nikolai, and who knows?

but there i think it should send a signal to everybody around the world as they're desperate and the ukrainians are winning. if this were to become a war where we see more urban fighting, what kind of conditions are russian troops in? because, you know, we've, we've heard that, you know, tens of thousands of, of reservists have been called up and that they're being trained right now. is it realistic though, to think that russia has the capability and capacity to train them to be effective? urban warriors, if you will, because we know that the ukrainian military has been planning for that of into out oh, no, not at all. especially though they did this in like waves, of course they, they captured, as many russian citizens possible, rush them to areas in the east and in the south with no training, but in it it's in some to well as left their training brace, but they're really desperate even there,

because they sent many of their trainers into russia, but russia has never been on my radar as a proficient urban warfare force that takes a lot of training, a lot of discipline, cohesive well lead formations. the russians like to fight mass using artillery in front of them the way they've organized themselves and they're still dangerous. no, i'm not trying to send a picture that there is nothing left of them. mass does have a quality and that's what they're hoping for. in the reports of over 100000 dead, probably 300000 wounded is when will they have had enough about to 4 weeks ago, the russian president said in public that the city of harrison in that region would be a part of russia forever. that was just 4 weeks ago. and this week we saw the new commander of the russian operation in ukraine. he went on state television,

he was the one who announced that russian troops withdrawing. we noticed that what a reputed is nowhere to be found when news of a defeat or set back has to be announced. what does this do to the morale of his soldiers? a 100 percent. it lowers it, although i don't know how much lower it could go. you need even small victories, unique cohesion within your group, on you need messages from your leadership to keep morale i and especially with winter coming. but this is a significant blow to the russian forces, especially in the south who are in this areas. morale, motivation, willingness to fight for, for putting harps in agree the russian military has had a revolving door of commissioners. and i personally don't think this, this new one who just got in a few weeks ago last much longer. john spencer, we appreciate your time and your valuable insights to night. thank you. thank you.

ah. the united states is one of the world's biggest emitters of greenhouse gases, meaning it's policies are key to tackling climate change globally. under president donald trump, the u. s. pulled out of the parents climate agreement, which aims, of course, to curb global warming. president biden is now in the white house and his message to day at the cop 20 southern climate summit was that the u. s. is now taking its climate leadership role seriously. climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security, national security, and the very life of the planet. we're not ignoring harbingers that are already here. is true so many disasters. climate crisis is sitting hardest, those countries and communities that have the fewest resources to respond and to

recover. and that's why last year i committed to work with our congress to quadruple us support to climate finance and provide $11000000000.00 annually by 2024, including $3000000000.00 for adoption. to help more than half a 1000000000 people in developing countries respond to climate change. climate compensation has been a key focus at this comment or this climate summit. it is also a demand of many activists from the global south. evelyn, i'm is a uganda climate activist. she's joining us now from the top 27 summit in shore, mill shaped. everything's going to have you with us. let me ask you industrialized countries such as the united states. we heard from the u. s. president. today, they've offered support to the developing world. but the word compensation is noticeably absent here. why do you think that is important?

a festival i'd love to argue with what so me just same time to day. president biden was not so clear how the united states. oh, you will, of being legible, nations will be supporting the poor nations. and i believe that our nation's, our, that one issue that's still very vulnerable right now, and we do month. so like we did so much for the original jones to to help support them in identification and mitigation. but all these promises are only ending at all these, all these talks are only ending, i'd probably says and it sounded. so we've been all redone when we don't know when auction is going to be taken because people actually die. disasters are happening. africa is experiencing some of the west in bucks on the climate crisis. the climate finance which has promised us is 2020 has not been delivered at all to help make collegial on it is leg lane in adaptation and mitigation. this is the money that we

are looking up to, to help us build the data to help us transition into a clean and sustainable environment. but said, we see that u. s. a is your best seeing it. it's biggest percentage of fossil fuel money into africa, about net bigger new as well as is being invested in africa or in oil and quail and core. let me only see about $6682000000.00 on the invest in clean and renewable, and i will, as all we do is if i could reach us, if you what would you, what do you wish president biden had said today? because i think a lot of people, the, the understand the point you're making on what was missing from his address to the in, in european yeah, i think, i think president begun a speech today was, was quite do friend. and it was, it seemed quite a concrete,

but what we expected is him to be very clear about the strategy or, and how to provide climate finance for the poor mission to strategy and hard to provide no salvage facility for the poor nations. regina t. as i could hear him talk about this my, the so much i, he was mostly speaking about building back. they tell us it is, is, is making homemade planes by 2030. but for nations like 925, he may not be. they'd be too far for us because people are a diagnostic last suffering now. so we expected sun and we expected a drastic auction taking on this. this piece may be at the, in the corporate wanted to see and know some damage facility set up. we did not hear these evelyn archerwill climate act of as we appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us to vote. evelyn, thank you. on thank you for having me. ah,

little the heads of china and the u. s. maintain regular contacts in various forms are. china attaches great importance to the proposal of the us to hold a meeting between the 2 heads of staley, dodge and coil president biden will hold a bilateral meeting with president she, jim ping of china. it is the 1st time that they will meet face to face since president biden became president. my volume's only u. s. should me china half way to la properly managed differences, promote mutually beneficial cooperation. b, me avoid misunderstandings and misjudgments. we don't do and pushed china us relations back to the right track of healthy and stable development. president biden has made it a priority to keep lines of communication open with president. she to responsibly manage the competition between our 2 countries. and he believes there is no more important channel than that between the leaders of the united states and china,

joe biden. and she's in pick 2 presidents about to meet face to face 2 leaders. he represent 2 worlds that many consider to be on a collision course. next week president biden will hold his 1st in person meeting with the chinese leader. it will take place of the sidelines of the g 20 summit summit, where leaders come together to find hopefully common ground. but the meeting of the minds is unlikely and not necessarily in the national security interests of the united states. that is, according to the commander of u. s. strategic command, navy, admiral charles, richard. in a recent speech, the admiral called for a fundamental change in the way the u. s. thinks about its own defense. he says, the ukraine crisis is just a warm up and that the big one is coming, the big one being conflict with china. all right, let's talk about the military aspect here in health in the united states is and to do that i'm joined tonight by fred bowman. he is the senior director for the the

center on military and political powers. he's also served in the us, um services and so i wish you a happy veterans day brad, i appreciate you taking the time to join us today. um let me just go through one a couple of quotes here. the 1st one from the admiral, and he said this as i of says, our level of deterrence against china. the ship is slowly sinking. i mean, do you agree with him? and it's so, you know, where are the biggest water leaks? thanks for the opportunity to join you. and thanks for the question. you know, admiral charles richard, the head of strategic command u. s. strategic commanded overseas america, nuclear deterrent command control communication system, and served our country honorably for many decades and knows what he's talking about . he's using some sobering language there, i would say, and i think i understand the impulse, i would just flag your viewers. that more than a year ago,

he kind of sounded the alarm that china was conducting a quote breath taking expansion of strategic and nuclear capabilities. i'm jani, that's not normal. washington speak if you will. and when someone in his position says something like that. and here we are about a year later with him giving the speech using words like that, you know, at risk of over simplifying from my foxhole. when i look at what the united states military is doing, i see is generally speaking, moving the right direction to try to close the gap between the military. we need in the military. we have, but almost without exception. we're doing it too slowly. and we seem to be kind of moving at the, the pace that we did in, in past years when we could kind of get away with that tectonic pace. and i do worry that americans are allies and there i use the word free world will, will suffer if we don't understand that we can no longer conduct business as usual in many ways. beijing, a sprinting and we're slumbering. and we need to wake up and move back

a lot faster than we are up to this point in the admiral said that a rethink may require looking back, maybe 60, to 70 years. if he's quoted the thing we use to know how to move fast, and we have lost the art of that. i mean, what exactly is he talking about there? you know, if you go back and look at american history, it with world war 2 and getting geared up for will or 2, competing in fighting world war 2 and during the cold war. yeah. extraordinary instances where we went from almost nothing to just truly becoming the arsenal of democracy in a way that makes me proud as an american. but when i asked myself, could we replicate that today? i'm not so sure. and that's, that's a scary answer for me. and when you look at his particular portfolio, nuclear returns you look at our icbm or intercontinental ballistic missiles, were relying on minute me and threes, which are, you know, half

a century old or intended for a decade or so. and we've been nursing them along and he's been warning we can't nurse along any longer. yachts replacement is coming, but it's coming slowly with delays. look at the ohio class submarines, the c like of our nuclear deterrent. we've nurse that as long as we can, we have to replace though you can't extend them any longer. and yet, you know, we're taking a little bit longer than we should. i'm bringing the replacement online and, and to be $21.00 strategic greater the bomber. so the list goes on and on. meanwhile, beijing is, you know, moving to have an extraordinary triad needed together. asap in one has to be worried about the lessons they're drawing from ukraine and how they could potentially conduct aggression the taiwan strait. and then rattled their new killer saber and get us back down. and so these issues are more connected, i think, than most people realize it. the animal also said that the us needs to have to find and you know, you're alluding to this the, the can do spirit that it had when it decides decided to put

a man on the moon by the end of the 1960 s. and in there he's not. if i understand correctly, he's not talking about money's not talking about policies. he's talking about people and attitudes. how do you change that or brand? i mean, you've been in the military, it's a great. yeah. it's a great, you know, a lot of the things that slow us down from going to concept or requirement to field in combat capability. these are not evil or nefarious things. there are processes and boxes to be checked that are put there for good reason to avoid wasting money and to solicit fair competition and get the best result we can. but you know, sometimes you just can't let them perfect. be the enemy, the good. and we're now entering a world where instead of having one peer nucular adversary, we're going to have to and we have, if china, if he's right. and he is that china's conducting a nuclear break out. you know, we don't have a strategic tree. you a china. so there's no very verification or transparency elements and they won't

even often return our calls, and that's going to be one of the issues in the g by meeting is like, hey, we've got to establish these mechanisms to avoid miscalculation given the stakes. if you're going to arm the teeth of nuclear weapons, you know, maybe should at least pick up our, our calls when we call to try to avoid miscalculation increased risk. yeah, well you know of what you say is fascinating and it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that meeting between the u. s. president and the chinese president next week. as always, brad, we appreciate your time and your insights. have a good weekend. thank you. you too, ah, calendar go and drop off. so running towards 2000 miles an hour. 1977 miles per hour, 10.4 miles up, 8 miles out at the time of the flu. and you were seeing that his swim run away man

did not this the 1st in flight disaster for the u. s. space program in 56 man missions. going back to the original shepherd flight. i remember that day that was the space shuttle challenger exploding shortly after launch in 9086 killing all 7 astronauts, including of school teacher on board. now, after nearly 37 years, divers have found a 6 meter section of the spacecraft of, of the coast of florida. and i think we didn't want to talk to an answer. their intuition was right. the divers, we're trying to locate the records of a world war 2 aircraft for a television documentary. and then they spotted this piece of the challenger on the sea floor massive. now deciding whether or not to recover it,

the loss of challenger was one of the worst disasters in the history of the u. s. space program. the day's almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find us on twitter either at dw news, you can follow me on twitter at rent. gov tv, remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. have a good weekend. everyone will see you right here again on monday with with
