if you see something that looked like james bond, it has to do with starts december 23rd on d, w. ah, this is d, w. news live from berlin. the u. s. denies helping ukraine to strike inside russia . moscow has accused keith of carrying out drawn strikes on 3 at fields, 2 of them deep within its territory. there are affairs that these attacks could escalate. the company also coming up victory for

you as democrats in the key run off election in georgia, raphael warner olds on to a seat, securing an outright majority in the senate for president joe biden. the major upset of the world cub morocco. keep it cool. and the penalty shoots out knocking out football pow spain ah, i'm to have else as well come to the program. the u. s. has denied encouraging ukraine to launch strikes inside russia after 3 apparent drawn attacks on targets that moscow blames on keys an air field in the cursed region and to add bases further inside russia came under attack. earlier this week, ukraine has not claimed responsibility and washington stopped short of attributing

them to keith for fear of escalating the conflict. we have neither encouraged nor enabled the ukrainians to strike inside of russia. but the important thing is to understand what ukrainians are living through every day with the ongoing russian aggression against their country. in our determination to make sure that they have in their hands, along with many other partners around the world, the equipment that they need to defend themselves to defend their territory to defend their freedom. correspondent nick commonly joins me now from keith. nick, we've just heard from the u. s. sector stayed there about the latest escalation. what are ukrainian official while they are keeping quiet, at least in terms of the more higher ranking people, there is been no admission here of responsibility. i think it's unlikely that we'll see presence lensky, at least in the short term, you know, saying that this was asked, there's just no, no political capital in it. basically the propaganda victory kind of is ready

happen. people are attributing this to ukraine, but taking responsibility and then allowing the russians to kind of turn it around and, you know, use this for their own, or you're gonna blame game to then kind of escalate things in return. that just doesn't make sense of the ukrainian side. i think that you know, going forward now and we're just going to seat the ukrainians, carrying this tactic on using soviet weapon, seemingly not weapons they receive from the americans do this because after all, you hear from people here in ukraine time. tom, again, there just aren't enough anti aircraft broke it down enough spare parts where energy system to keep on going as we are. if we want to get through this winter, we need to do something to make it more difficult for russia to keep on carrying out these attacks. to heightened the price for russia to force russia to take its bombers further away from ukraine's borders to try and reduce the chance to the tax . but it made it so hard for ukrainians to get through this winter, which you can see is pretty cold. already have seen people yet without power for

days at a time. so this is basically the structure behind this to try and make versus bombing campaign a bit more difficult by helping the states for them and increasing the risks for their promise back in the russian kind of heartland. i think the ukranian president visited troops near the front line yesterday. howdy gauge, things there. things are really difficult. he was in don't bass. they're not far from back move, which is the center of the fighting right now. if you see some of the pictures they re, looks like a lunar landscape craters, destroyed houses, very few civilians remaining. i'm huge losses, especially the russian side. but as we believe also the ukrainian side, i think this was a kind of symbolic move show that he's not scared of going there. that he is kind of, you know, willing to take those risks and to show that kind of presence in a way that vladimir putin isn't. and obviously there was a lot of consternation among russian bloggers, russian pundits that you volumes that he is able to reach these areas. areas that

by the way, russia claims as their own. now since the annexation that region at was seemingly without little fears for his own security and that he doesn't compare very faithfully from that in the future who has made no such visit to frontline since the beginning of this war and is often okay, very nervous about showing kind of present so kind of closeness to soldiers or situations that he can't control ridley. i'm so that that's definitely the kind of hopes that visit are you crank, responded nick, calmly. they're in a key of thank you, nick. unless i've looked at some of the other stories making headlines today, a judge in the u. s. has dismissed a lawsuit against the saudi crown. prince mohammed been summon for his alleged role in the murder of journalists, demarco shoji. the judge said there were credible allegations of the prince's involvement, but is that he had no power to reject the u. s. government stance that the prince has sovereign immunity. as a foreign leader,

al jazeera has referred the killing of its journalists, serene, are cleared to the international criminal court. the media network says new evidence shows he was deliberately killed by israeli forces. israeli army has admitted one of its soldiers, likely short. i worked late in the westbound in may, but says she was mistaken for a militant india argentina's. former president has been sentenced to 6 years in jail on charges of corruption. christina fernandez declared that was found guilty of embezzling $1000000000.00 between 20072015. a corruption case has divided the country, the support of se, trial is politically motivated. she's expected to appeal in the us, the democratic senator russia warnock has defeated his republican challenger, herschel walk up in georgia's run of contest for a seat and the senate. this was the final raised to be decided in this year's

midterm elections or next. when gives the democrats and outright majority in the senate without needing a tie breaking vote from the vice president in an emotional victory speech, a southern baptist preacher, thank georgians. god and his family. warnock will so 6 years sen until 2028. and he ws correspondence to me, so musk under has been following the run off in georgia. and here's her assessment of implications for you as politics in the end, this was another important victory for president joe biden. and the democrats is the 1st time since $934.00 that the party in the white house did not lose a single senate seat in the mid term election. so it's certainly something we'll see, the president say is a proof that his party has performed well and is performing well for the american people. now, when it comes to concrete results, this is also important for president biden, because it means that he can get his judges confirm the president has the power to

nominate judges. the senate alone confirms those judges and now with an outright majority in the senate. that means that those nominations will essentially get the green light. it's also important for committees. it means that the democrats have a majority in the committees in the senate. those committees have an important role to play and shaping legislation going forward as well. and last, but not least, for the democrats, this is a sign that georgia is territory where they can be competitive. they have invested so many resources and so much money and making sure that they can be competitive in the state, particularly in the metropolitan areas, like where i am in atlanta. now for the republicans, they will be asking themselves some tough questions after this run off race, herschel walker, not the strongest candidate that they could put forward, but also he was a candidate handpicked by the former president, donald trump. many republican officials now asking themselves the question, what influence should the former president have on this party going forward, particularly knowing that he will be running for the presidential office again

coming up in 2024. so it's back to the drawing board for republicans and certainly a victory lap for democrats and the president joe biden. susan must, under reporting that maternity to indonesia now where parliament has passed far reaching reforms to the countries criminal code including jail time for sex outside of marriage. the new rules apply to both locals and foreign visitors. though please could only make an arrest after report is filed by a close family member. critic say the reforms are a blow to the comes with reputation for tolerance. with the bang of a gavel, indonesia, parliament approves the sweeping overhauled of the countries criminal code. controversially, the new laws will criminalize sex outside of marriage as well as cohabitation for unmarried couples. critics have denounced the legislation as a crackdown on civil liberties and political freedoms. often go hop,

valdosta law that is not democratic controls our private lives and does not take care of public matters humbly. ah, but we got us out. the public should know that all of us can be charged under this law with the chinese actions. and everything we do has the potential to be criminalized. sex outside of marriage will be punished with up to one year in prison. while unmarried people living together could face 6 months in jail, a model rights group say the new laws will hit young people and the l. g. b t. community, particularly hot. indonesia does not acknowledge, same sex marriage. and there are fears that banning cohabitation could be used to criminalize same sex relations, reading them. but the government has defended the changes as an effective compromise in a going from a or it's not easy for a multi cultural and multi ethnic country to make a criminal law code. and that can accommodate all interests. look what a bugger clinton. on the other hand,

i think the national criminal material in the criminal code, you must regulate the balance between public or state and individual interests that then government, an individual, indonesia criminal code dates back to its time as a dutch colony. and a revision has been debated for decades, but for many in the wealth 3rd largest democracy, these changes represent a step backward not forward. ah, at the football, woke up in cotton under dogs, morocco have knocked out spain in the round of 16. after a goal is 120 minutes, it all came down to penalties. shoot out in spain missed 3 of their kicks. the result sent the loft, our team standing through to the quarter finals morocco with a better start to the game. but 12 minutes in sure, if i came, it's free kick went over the bar, halfway through the 1st half spain with
