individual campaign is uncheck cell phones for evidence of illegal activity. ah, i'm from gail. welcome to the program. nato allies have promised to increase aid to ukraine as it prepared for a tough winter caused by moscow's bombing of its energy infrastructure. meeting in romania foreign ministers from the military alliance have been discussing how best to support cave, no specifics or be merged, but with millions of ukrainians now without power or heating. they've promised military equipment. fuel power generators and medical supplies timely this secretary general yost against sultan burg spoke following talks with ukraine's foreign minister demitra to labor. he stressed that nato, his main priority now is to provide you credit with immediate support and

maintaining and re supply military equipment. that's already been delivered. president putin is trying to weaponized winter to force ukrainians to freeze or flee. he is trying to break the will of the brave u. k. and the people and to divide all of us who support them. but our meeting and request is sending a strong message of natal unity and sustained support for ukraine. nato is not the party to the war, but we will continue to support ukraine for as long as it takes we will not back down. when i responded to alexandra fond nomine is in bucharest, attending that conference, and i asked her, what nature would be providing to help ukraine needs? actually, it was a question that sir nato and chief was not really likely to be of willing to answer

because he was a ask and this press conference about weapons deliveries to ukraine, about the ukraine wanting to have patriot missile defense systems. for instance, a very advanced missile defense system produced manufactured by the u. s. and he said that even though he didn't say that nato allies are not willing to deliver it to ukraine, he made clear that that is at the moment, not on the agenda a. he said that it's not only important to deliver weapons vance weapons to ukraine, but it's also important to make sure that they can be efficient on the ground that they can work efficiently on the ground. and that allies are also able to provide spare parts. and so that was for me something that stood out doing this press

conference because of course, the key question here was whether there will be any new pledges of, from individual allies, which regards to heavy weapons for your queen. as i was under a fall nominee in bucharest, american joiner comes from that nic connelly usa and ki, welcome is ukraine likely to be satisfied with what we've heard from today's music? i think right now when situation where you grange and chronically unsatisfied, i think these are different degrees of dissatisfaction. i think there is a kind of underlying feeling here and keep that at least most european nita members just don't get the scale of this war. the hundreds and 1000 kilometers are front lines that it's being fought on. the intensity with which missions are being used every single day. we've seen time and time again, individual member countries sending weapons in germany, sending those pants or how bits. and so those kind of are 3 pieces without the necessary numbers of spare parts and munitions. because basically,

all the calculations are based on kind of projections from before this war, when you had this kind of woods wasn't thinkable. i think the, the most positive thing that the ukrainian media is kind of picked up on so far was a commitment from spain to send more in the way of air defenses. they didn't yet specify what that would be. most people here expecting more of the hawk system, which is basically the predecessor to the patriot missile system. so it's a kind of fairly old school bit of kit from the kind of 60 seventy's has been more than i said since it has the big advantage that it is still available in lots of nato countries. lots of munitions, lots of basically spare parts still around and given that most countries have decommissioned it or potentially in a position to provide it to ukraine. but i think as ever, the kind of crucial thing is, timeliness. time time again, we've had foreign positions coming to key of making big promises and then not converting all those promises in any kind of useful time frame for you grains. i think the kind of expectation will be that that changes and that, you know,

basically go to the bureaucracies and all the different member countries, se finally start kind of working overtime and get stuff here. so that it really makes a difference in butterfield and nick away from this meeting, there have been multiple, a warnings from ukrainian at leaders that today at might see more russian asked strikes. how are things looking while for now, it is still quite, we had a kind of error mid afternoon. we're busy. all of ukraine was put on alert. people were told to go to the air raid shelters, and it seems like that was basically a false alarm, a kind of maybe a russian hoax. seeming there's been a lot of activity at russian air bases. and the russian navy in the back seat, doing things that would suggest an imminent strike. and then that not happening because people here, the experts are basically interpreting that as an attempt to wear out. ukraine's defense is to keep everyone the highlight long enough that they stop paying attention when the real attack happens. we've also seen russia sending in missiles without warheads, to basically overwhelm their defenses. here in the hope that eventually ukraine just won't be in a position to actually deal with the large rockets coming in all in one go and that

they will improve their ratios. last time they had that big hit last week, about 20 of 70 missiles actually reached the target 50. so your basic 2 thirds were destroyed were in septic. and i think the russians going to hope that as time goes on, they'll be able to get better ratios and get it less than the way of resistance from ukraine's i defenses. i get an economy in keith, but i look at some more stories making news around the world. now. political allies, if jail beller, receive a position leader, i'm a customer called nick over say she's been admitted to an intensive care in hospital in the city of government. the news was announced on telegraph, however, no reason for her admission was given. a commission to cover is unspoken. critic of better cities liter, alexander, and the reigning armies. putting the number of people killed the nation wide demonstrations of more than 300, which is

a much lower number than estimates from rights groups. protests have broken out since death in custody of a young woman arrested by around so called morality police. now reports reporting from china that authorities are seeking up people who took part in values against a coven, 19 restrictions, beijing's clamping down on the biggest display of public descent. since each element square protest of $989.00 police patrols a checking people, cell phones and universities are sending some students home raging against 3 years of coven lockdown measures, protest, pete and historic levels. never seen during the era of president eugene pain it siegel to some that geez power in his 3rd term, could be tested. we don't want authoritarianism, we want human rights. we don't watch a monarchy. but after unprecedented demonstrations and china and elsewhere,

and clashes with police over the weekend, anger appears to have some murder and police who are out in greater numbers, appear to have more control on the streets. go too far, china is a country governed by the rule of law and the various legal rights and freedoms enjoyed by chinese citizens are fully guaranteed in accordance with the law. at the same time, any rights and freedoms must be exercised within the framework of the law. ali calling gently schuster activists are under threat of investigation for their role, and the pushback against cobit lockdown measures and political oppression. now, the possibility of repercussions seems to have reduced the size of the protest. china's biggest wave of discontent under she has also been met with the relaxation of some lockdown measures like east social distancing rules and coven 19 testing

exemptions for seniors. and people who work from home. a sign that the people's voices and frustrations might be getting through to chinese authorities. a william hurst, his professor of chinese politics of the university of cambridge in the u. k. we asked him about the extent of demands for political change. it's extremely difficult to say because what we've also seen occasionally happen is that when some protesters say something like that, others in the same crowd will start singing the national anthem or shouting that. no, no, they don't agree with that. so i think the more true extreme, or general the claims become, the less able they are to actually capture and hold together this broad coalition of different groups that are in fact aggrieved, about locked down and other things. so the other thing that's happening is that the state is beginning to turn up the pressure in terms of at least signaling the

possibility of repression. most of what they've brought in have been what i would call a nuisance measures, putting up barricades and streets where protests have happened, making it difficult for people to get their stopping people and looking at phones, deleting images of protest checking ideas. the other thing they've been doing that it's rather interesting is they've apparently been tracking down people who were captured on video at protest using or facial recognition or other means i don't know exactly how they're doing it, but they're tracking down people who've been at the protest calling them on the phone and asking them some questions about what they were doing, why they were there, whether they plan to keep protesting and so on. they haven't actually threatened them as far as i know, nor of the arrested people through that means. but it's a clear signal that the police are watching and that things could turn far more repressive, and that may be enough to deter a lot of people from turning out to hawaii. you our authors as
