a security analyst and gave you joins me now. thank you for being here. i'm d w. what more can you tell us about the attack and address on any actually the oh already is people. beds and the slips. i think not much new because this is not the 1st topic. the vin number. thanks on different cities in cities times and, and trades, and the just, just what we seen or there was almost animals. every time the russians could shoot, but i think of the battle, they start to strike your civilian targets. and this is a typical terrorist tactics. alexi, can you tell us more about ukraine's current ability to send off attacks like the ones we saw on her own and others that you've mentioned?

in fact, the only way to protect civilian is cds. big cities from shelling from hillary in this multi line share consistency is to push reference to the distance the beach and at least from there to reach. but i don't actually want to be, so if you knew how to q for and but so the same time the, this 100 percent unity burgess and these for families think me sales point as 300 and they still use it on the distance like 100 kilometers right, so what is ukraine able to do to defend against those kinds of attacks? we're hearing a lot about all the equipment that ukraine is, is asking for, and some of it has received. how effective is ukraine? ukrainian force is able to defend from these kinds of attacks,

whether they are m l r s, or whether they're longer range missiles. as you mentioned, your brain is trying to defense to minimize that are some possibilities, not just military authorities, but civilian targets. and that's more western, the greek men may have more. i mean, you shall then did the best chance is to destroy the russian positions russian stocks. and this is the only way to, to me, you might, can, i mean, you might fully eliminate this was we needs to 1st pulled russian horses behind the painting, international waters. and then probably believe that some kind of ingratiation in the future would solve this problem. it's not completely while alexi manic and key with the latest strategic picture. thanks for joining w. thank you for having parts of north america are in what

may be for the coldest christmas eve on record. temperatures have plunged across swans of canada, united states as an arctic front grips the region. heavy snow and blizzard conditions have disrupted one of the years busy as travel periods. early $6000.00 flights have been cancelled around 60 percent of the united states and under some kind of weather warning. let's get more on all of that in a seemingly less snowy and sunny or part of the world with matthew pushy, he's a meteorologist based in washington. matthew, so despite what we're seeing around you, it seems. tell us more about the storm. what are some of the some of the highlights, so to speak? yeah, most definitely. so this was something called a bomb cycle. essentially a low pressure system. net rapidly and fight over the great lit what that did was back, you may or up and out the center, back in the air from down below on all side. at the side we had subtly winds up

those with, with best upwards of not 100 kilometers per hour in spots. oh, so flooding so far about one half milli. without power up and down the board. that's just the system. on the back side, rigid siberian air was dragged out from canada. temperatures of minus 40 degrees celsius over the northern plains and in between a clash of the air mass is getting snow with 30 to 50 centimeters in spots. blistering winds, reduced buildings and blizzard conditions, up and down many areas from chicago to detroit, really all across the central us. you mentioned a single bonzai clone. it sounds quite perilous. it's something we've seen before in the congress of climate change. is this something that is normal for united states known for wild winter weather, or is this more of a warning? that's really the bomb cycle. what on that is upper level support based nervous disturbance. a little extra on top to lift air up and away so that it can

strengthen bomb psych loans are most typical along the eastern seaboard of united states forming over something wholly barrack linux. so what's that mean? his baseline area where the surface temperature changes with distance that's common near the gulf stream, or a current a warm for an op. yes. so that's kind of typical to wintertime. it's very rare to see that over the great lake. that's not really our clinics, the own, but we had such a strong lobe of siberia art to care overhead that kind of acted like it, their clinic don't help jill. the storm. so i wouldn't say climate change, it's closely tied at all. it takes most right. there's some research. i'm a role in helping little was upper level cold move farther south, but it's not a very firmly how of a pair. would you say a lot of these cities are for these kinds of temperatures and this kind of snell, what they gotten really they, there are different levels of preparation. one of the challenging things with something like this is that even if ordinary, every day sitting bare,

well throughout a storm, you're disrupting services or disrupting travel and especially for elderly vulnerable populations. that house live. there's not really too much to be done in such short order. so ultimately comes down to local unity as you have to have prepared plans in place in advance. a storm like this. the other issue of course travel, we're about 5000 flights of been canceled yesterday and today always been whether we're what's called the y slot this for every hot we might be losing. we're happy losing massey there a little bit, but we're going to leave it there and his and his shades there. thanks very much. matthew wright watch in d. c. thank you. let's turn out some other stories making news right now. for the taliban abandoned women from working for foreign and domestic. and joes in afghanistan alleged that there were complaints that some women were not wearing.

headscarf van comes days after talbot ordered universities to close to women. almost 2 dozen people having killed in rush after a fire broke out in private nursing home. dozens of firefighters fought to control the blaze in the siberian city of grove. already save care home was operating illegally and have vowed to inspect similar facilities reach. these 9 people have been killed of south africa after a truck carrying liquefied gas exploded. outside yon as bird official say, the tanker scraped a low bridge, sparking a fire that triggered the blast. explosion also burned down to houses and damaged a nearby house. members of the kurdish community of class with poll police in paris during the 2nd day of protests over an apparent racist attack that killed 3 courage there. on friday, thousands of people gathered in central paris to demonstrate police fire tear gas

and for violence. for about. a gunman carried out the fatal attack on friday, firing on a kurdish cultural center and a nearby cafe vested either say, the suspect has a history racially motivated violence early re asked you give your correspondence? sonya phonic are in paris, the cause of the anger that we've seen spill out on the streets there. the demonstration to today was called by the kurdish democratic council of france. this is an umbrella kurdish body that is headquartered in the cultural center that was attacked their fleet in that shooting at that shooting, of course, killed creek oddish, political activists and those and those killings have really incense members of the goodish community here. many of them feel like the being targeted yet again, because this attack comes just take a nearly tenure or excuse me, nearly 10 years after the models of tweak, oddish women activists in the same neighborhood in paris. and that included at the time the co founder author outlawed to pick a key,

a group and god's your are simply feel that the french authorities have not done enough to investigate those. are those killings that there was a judicial investigation in france, which did charge a turkish man with those suspected assassinations, but he died in custody in 2016 before his trial could be held. and so i think many people today in the kurdish community are feeling that the french authorities of not investigated those models properly. they're not doing enough to, to protect them, as was illustrated by yesterday, shooting, lighting. many of them are really feeling unsafe, a kind of sense of feel has put the community and at the demonstration today, we also saw many people pointing the finger of blame at turkey saying yesterday, shooting was particularly motivated. though i have to say that at this stage we've seen no evidence of that. china is babbling a surge and coven 19 cases. bloomberg in the financial times siding leaks, chinese government documents have reported that some 250000000 people have been

infected or were infected during the 1st 2 weeks of december. chinese authorities appear to be downplaying. the severity of the current wave. despite surgeon cases, they maintain there have been no new deaths, slight indications on the contrary. or be wong is from the school of medicine at national taiwan university. and she told us earlier why lifting restrictions? spite, the consequences wasn't habitable. i won't say is a mistake because you have to open up at some point it's, it's impossible to have the society be close down for such a long time. and we've seen that from protest everywhere. so, but the issue is trying to, didn't sign it as a step wise opening up it should actually was stop the or booster destination, at least for the 3rd or 4th doses to a certain popular percentage of compensation before they actually opened up step by

step on right now he seemed sad all the object, coney, 0 call that policy was stuff and it leads to all of a sudden and even did testing ghouls, which actually would be very helpful now for the community to a break is. oh good. so it's kind of possibly whether or not there is actual leadership, don't live at every level in china. now, for the kobe control, in bethlehem, people have turned out to take in a parade in madras square, cross from the church of the 70. and a tradition is 24th december youth scouts and marching bands accompany the latin patriarch to the church, revered by christians, as the birthplace of jesus was. deputies run throughout the day until the traditional midnight that you'd have you corresponded rebecca readers was at the parade. and she sent us this report for the christmas celebrations are well and

truly on the way here in bethlehem. as you can see behind me, this parade hasn't been able to take place for the last 2 years because of corona virus restriction with the crowds out in volstead writing the terrible with these marching bands. these kristin reviewed fruits and scouts performing in front of the nativity church. now tonight, at the nativity church, they'll be a big, nice mass with dignitaries in attendance was local and international. in bethlehem, over this week of christmas, they're expecting 120000 pilgrim and to risk the light that's likely to give a good bruce to the local economy, which was pretty hot by cove it and i'm tired of it is a lot better. this is very difficult. yeah, here 2023 has been one of the deadliest in the last couple of decades here in this conflict. some 100. if the palestinians of 30 israelis have been killed in violence in january, and that's definitely what a damping home the movie,

particularly palestinians who don't feel very hopeful about the political situation . but despite that, people have come out to celebrate to get into the christmas spirit in one of the holiest places in the christian religion. rebecca readers there in bethlehem, and that's all we have for you on this christmas eve coming up max and episode of shift joins the digital nomads taking on the world. stay tuned for that. i'm wearing blue cross. it's been very nice avenue here. must you against it? ah ah, the question of the question about life, the universe and everything, do you know the answer? well then give it here.
