my marlo broke the law in insulting officials, and he has been as convicted and sentenced. but if you speak to the opposition, they say this is pure politics, especially as sir m all always seen as one. almost a competitive contenders are for the 1st running against president earth one and next year's presidential elections. although he hasn't actually been nominated, he does call very high in the opinion polls. and this is nothing unusual of people being jailed who has seen his threats to word one. in fact, in mom all lose her or organizer of his election victory or the head of her, his sir, c h p. part in his temple. she was banned from politics for a tweet against the president, while the leader of the then leader of the countries 2nd largest opposition party of the pro kurdish hasty, p solid in democrat easing jail says 2016, and a conviction was the european court of human rights described as politically motivated to how bigger threat is there a tremolo to we're bridget,

hybrid or well, economy will lose success in winning the mer ship in 2019 ending the effective for a rule and control of the city by 0, one on his a. k p. part in it, and there is sam, it's free to says of 25 years. they have controlled the city. it was seen as impregnable, impossible, but the father em all managed to galvanize or unite a very divided opposition from the conservative to the left to the kurds. heaves success in many ways has paved the future of the opposition and made them a much more effective powerful organization that is now seen as a threat to one to ever since he's had that success, he has been in many ways seen as a marked man and even if he is banned from politics, although he is appealing, an appeal process could take 2 years. ah, there are other contenders now that have a merge the mayor of our on chrome until your bosh is also scoring very well and opinion pulled thanks to this, galvanizing the opposition,

which in many ways as are paved the way by mammals initial success. okay, so a popular opposition leader? what sort of reaction has there been to this sentence? lawler, the opposition or outrage by this, as we speak, has been a massive meeting, a gathering demonstration in support of him. all you've had are many of the leaders of the you're not opposition, these are 6 prominent leaders are all men and we're addressing their the rally there. and in fact, her moral action or a very important alloy. a mom osage p speaking to the crowd, she reminded the crowd that in, in the ninety's odd ones, route road to success started when he was me. and he was convicted for reciting a poem and was sent to jail. after that, he went on to become prime minister and ultimately president, and she said that song can be heard and will with could be heard. one, it's again, like of outdoor, and dorian germs, in a stumble. a to you, kramer or 40,

say they have fought at a brush and drone attack on the capital cave. defense forces shut down all 13 iranian made shot had drones targeting city center. mr. attacks were also reported in harker. have done atkinson parisha, this evident of keith cleared the broken glass from her window like her many of her naples whom for shaken this morning. as fresh young wants, jones, i think of it. the windows shattered as cold winds brought fitting deputies. hey, mike winter is coming, you know, how can people survive homeless lord, what do they want from us? they did not like mccraney and low. forgot his own level russians know. let bruton die. locker is what i didn't do. i went to him, but it was this to me is wrong. that all number for all a near by building has been badly hit and cars crushed

ukraine thief. but damn it with didn't as ukrainian air defensive, short down eat on, made russian jones still enough to shoot terrorists began with the launch of 13 shy drones children. all 13 were shot down by ukrainian air defense. but well done, i'm proud of you would seem brochure fresh air has recently been using long range methane attacks on residential areas. it called them military attacks. keith called the russian strike war, grind thing moscow. if intentionally targeting 70 or a correspondent mic. connelly and cave told me more about these latest attacks while this is the 1st stack of its kind quite some time, not as big as the waves we've seen in recent weeks and as you heard there, and they were all shot down those drones. but that doesn't mean that this is

without danger for civilian. see when those drones are shot out of the sky by you cranes, air defense, that means large bits of debris falling to ground. and that's an awful lot of damage to civilians. and also to me as soon homes for now, no kettle see in here, but this is been pretty busy day elsewhere. lots of strikes in on the sea that ukraine really took back if it damaged the government building, which existed by president a couple of weeks ago. the russians really were reminding everyone they are just on the other side of the river and very in close range and able to use artillery, rocket artillery to attack anywhere and stay there. so basic, this is just another day for ukraine to pretty much got use this, but the important take away from all this is that here in kimberly's, there's been no impact on the power supply. power sloan, water is still in the taps, and there is a sense that this is a country that is getting used to these attacks and getting better dealing with him . and now we've had this announcement from us officials that they're planning to send these patriot to ad defense systems to ukraine. how is that likely to change or ukraine's defense capabilities?

i mean, is this really ends up happening happening in a kind of time frame that makes a difference? ukraine right now, this is a huge deal. there's something that ukraine's have been asking for. basically, since the beginning of the war, when they were calling for nato to close, to protect ukrainian skies, that was, you know, dismissed the time it was said that this was a system that is just to technically complex for ukraine's military. something that can't be taught to ukrainian forces in any kind of short time frame. i think ukraine's proven now tom tom again that it is able to deal with pretty skates weaponry in a hurry. and you're the major difference is this. the system can actually deal with ballistic work it so busy. all the other systems that you claim so far received from germany, from the united states and other countries. they deal with drones. they deal with cruise missiles, but they don't deal with the ballistic rockets that fly really high up in the sky and basically fall to the ground vertically. we're picking up speeds of a totally different magnitude and yet potentially a lot more dangerous for ukraine when it's trying to protect the civilian targets. so, a lot of optimism here that this is going to happen,

which is worry about how long it's going to take him to how many of these units are going to get my and, and this way got international donors of plants, more than a 1000000000 euros in financial aid for ukraine, and so is ukraine are getting better help it needs to rebuild but it's not a question of rebuilding it. this is about basic patching up the damage that russia is inflicting on a weekly basis. this is actually modeling more than the grains of 4 to get them through the next couple winter months of seat. we have no idea how many rockets rush has left and how many this tax they can keep on organizing those talk of them having to get in rockets from around because their own rockets are basically running out. if you look at the bigger picture though, to help the ukraine has got, there's lots of questions there about delays. promises being made from the t v cameras and then not materializing, materializing months later. so there's definitely a kind of sense of urgency here that basically the ukraine needs more help. the government budget is really in a difficult place. basically, economy has already contract by 3rd and it's like it's contracting further. so

there's a lot of pressure now on your grades. diplomats, when you cranes and public speakers to just make sure that european countries actually get on with sending the money over. and basically, financing the government continues rather than just sending in a generator here or a transfer for my there. this is about basically kind of keeping ukraine's government on the lifecycle machine. thanks for that. did correspondent nick connelly in keith. the investigators in belgium say they've seized one and a half 1000000 euros in a series of raids linked to a corruption scandal in the european parliament drink. socialist emmy p advocating is one of 4 people arrested over alleged payments from guitar. they've been charged with accepting bribes and exchange for you. favors towards us be towards the gulf state. kylie's been stripped of her role as a vice president of the european parliament. she and katara officials deny any wrong doing a lawyer, so she'll remain in custody for another week. since i'm here, i was calling to discriminate. law correspondent, jack paris at the court in brussels. welcome jack, or what happened there today?

's who've been named, there's been some, some, some reporting going on today about any piece that have turned up in countries on unregistered visit. they are a huge microscope now for all of their activities related to this. the european parliament suspended eva kylie as a, as a vice president of the parliament. so she was due to that of all of her political groups and there is going to be an internal pro, this sort of 2 things going on here to be on the city. there's one that the legal case, the case of corruption against these 4 people there in the investigation,

but also a political case against the the again say that kylie as an elected member who had a huge majority in the european parliament elections in the area, she's from in greece and questions about what does this mean politically when the european union pose itself is the sort of past in of, of democracy around the world. and katasha, it hasn't actually been formally named in a said proceedings though it has been widely linked to the case. why might doha want to influencing you policy? yeah, and it has also officially deny the claim that is linked for this. they say is baseless . but because of a, there's a kylie's at, you know, very, very positive speeches about katara. she's cropped off at different places in the last few months and i registered visit the questions and the links are certainly there in the public. but also this is all about the labor reforms, issues that were related to the building of the welcome stadiums, where many, many people died. and the allegation is that they were trying to polish their image

through the european parliament. and that's part of this corruption scandal about jack jack park in brussels. aah! at the football? well, couple guitar argentina convincingly break crash a 3 nail in the 1st of the semi final classes. trisha upset brazil in the last round and we're hoping to continue there in probable run. but linelle massey and his teammates proved too much for them. this semi final was bound to be the last shot at world cut glory, 3 and legendary player, either argentina's, leonor messy or co h as luca mudrinich despite croatia controlling much of the ball early on argentina were the 1st to break through with julio alvarez's bullish run forwarded by a clear foul with the whole world watching, but his keep her too nervous to look. leo massey stepped up and ripped home the penalty. one mill argentina with 34 minutes play and just 5 minutes
