russia's relentless attacks on ukraine returned to the capital to day plumes of smoke rising and keep him at one of moscow's most intense bombardments since it launched its invasion. as explosions sounded across the city, residents rushed to take refuge under ground. the keep subway has some of the deepest stations in the world designed to act as bomb shelters. and times just like these. with the attacks forcing trains to be cancelled stations were still packed with people seeking safety and solidarity. this man bursting into renditions of ukrainian folk songs to keep spirits up, go through the dora passing time and bomb shelters. now routine for many like yourself with this morning. i saw

i with 5, with 3 real 3 our oh, ukrainian authorities say russia launched 70 muscles across the country. while the majority was shot down by air defense systems, 2 people were killed in the city of trevi rear. hi keeps it. he was also hard hit with officials describing colossal damage to infrastructure had taken how were and their gene for us through archer. mike, im, people suffer. you are in the winter time. that's a ball genocide to forward nation bought. i must admit that our moral is extremely

strong and we will never surrender. the attacks are unlikely to ease over the coming weeks, but ukrainian defense shapes predicting russia will launch a new offensive early next year. that could include a 2nd attempt to take keys. dw ne connelly has more on the latest attacks from keith or doesn't sound that started with a lot of bangs here in key or something. we haven't had quite some time. oh, seemingly, that was a different system here working, but pretty close to us in the center of give. this is a real sign that russia still has many more cruise missiles and other options as spousal than ukraine would want. we've heard from the grain or thirty's, they say they were able to deal with, were able to shoot down about 3 course. the missiles that were launched against ukraine, phase 60, out of $76.00. but it does seem to especially outside of t, of where the defense of better lots of student talks been hit, lots of power outages here in central. keith is still quite

a bit of power. you might be able to see some lights on behind me, but holds weights of care of all without power, without water. and is a pretty grim evening here in give at a time where it had seemed like these attacks were kind of whitening down. while the kremlin is still using gas exports to help fund its war in ukraine, that's despite europe's efforts to win itself off. russian energy, moscow's liquid gas exports are at record highs in order to be able to import gas from other parts of the world. germany is now opening, it's 1st a liquid wide natural gas terminal. this floating facility is the centerpiece of germany's new l. n. g terminal. built in record time in the hope of ending dependency on russian gas. and adding to an existing europe wide network. the, i'm on the, we've spoken to our friends on europe's west coast, in the netherlands and belgium, about extending their terminals and carrying capacity. and france will send us gas

for the 1st time. so on to leave. and that liquefied natural gas comes from all around the world, but imports from russia into europe have risen to record levels, accounting for 13 percent of the total. beyond my net whom f liquid inputs from russia to europe are increasing again to spain and france. and there are long term contracts between these countries and russia, that some is also going to belgium and the netherlands. and this gas is being sent on to germany. uses gas, we're done. alright, doggedly, fat, knock, deutschland siberian gas is being transported by see russia has been building new l n. g terminals of its own export volumes are smaller than before. but russia is earning $5.00 to $10.00 times more from liquid gas than it used to make. why the north stream pipeline,

there's no talk of boycotting russian gas. as long as it was, as long as russian gas is on the market somewhere in the world, it's a 0 sum game. i love if everyone does without russian gas than they were going to be massive shortages that have to be made up somewhere. and that means higher prices, eyes and ruin far from ostracizing, russia, french companies, for example, our joint venture partners with the russian liquid gas group, nova tech. in a complex market gas flows are effectively borderless. germany would like to operate its 1st ellen g terminal free from russian supplies. but in the international gas market, there is no fair trade certificate. let's get a cheque now. some of the other stories making news around the world. a gunman has killed 2 un peacekeepers in timber. 2 in molly, for others were wounded. molly's government has been locked in the struggle against
