11:05 pm
it's good to see. so yet i want to come back to this corruption story just a moment. but 1st i want to start with the tanks. germany reportedly giving the green light for those german made leopard 2 tanks to be sent to ukraine. of this is the decision that keith has been wanting almost from the very beginning of this war . that's absolutely right. i mean, ukraine has really been pushing for western tanks, and specifically the german made leopard tanks for a long time now. and right now there is a growing sense of urgency. sure. in keith about the coming spring, that's when both russia and ukraine expected to prepare for new offences. and ukraine says, you know these leper tanks from germany can be a potential game changer for several reasons. you know, for one, it will offer that soldiers more power firepower, more protection. ukrainian defense officials have also been saying that these lippard, 2 tanks, are specifically designed to compete with the russian t 90 tanks. now these are the tanks that russia has been using in its invasion of
11:06 pm
ukraine. these are the tanks that'll also be deployed in the east and find the ukraine says, you know, these, the little tanks will be easy to maintain because the readily readily available on the continent that are more than 2000 of them in various european countries. and so it would be easier for them to get spare parts and ammunition and training on these tanks. let me go back into the story of corruption in the firings today. so people are saying that this is a purge of officials by president zalinski. i mean, it looks and sounds like a purge. is it? well, it's certainly a very damaging scandal, and it's certainly one of the biggest political shake ups in the cranes since that russian invasion last february. now, the reports here in the ukrainian media, i've been saying that some of these political announcements that have been made in recent days, had been planned by president sentence. zalinski fought for a while, but there was little doubt that he has come under pressure after intense coverage
11:07 pm
in the media of some of these corruption cases. and has felt the need to take action and to really get a grip of the problem before it gets out of hand. now, these corruption allegations have been leveled by investigative journalists in ukraine, as well as ukraine's national anti corruption to bureau. and some of these allegations relate to embezzlement of state funds. some of them also point to causey ties width of businessman and using their flash cards to get to vacations and for drives. and precedents. zalinski a this weekend really bowed to take a 0 tolerance approach to this. he's now also said that he will band government officials from traveling aboard for vacation, or rather for any other work other than government work. i mean, this is a serious problem. he's admitting it and it's not a problem that came over night talk to me about him just help significant corruption has been in ukraine in the past. well, it's still corruption, has been a really an endemic issue in ukraine,
11:08 pm
really played by corruption for years. and i think ukraine has long been associated with what corruption, and on the gaki for years, you know, officials and businessman sure have a said to have really cooked up, elaborate and looked at schemes to really hollow out really plunder the state budget. but you know, that has changed unless have said that in recent years you quinn has taken significant strides to who does corruption. and we have to remember, precedents. zalinski himself was elected in 2019 on a promise to clean out corruption. and one of the things that anti corruption activists have been seeing in recent is here in the wake of all these dismissals and resignations is that this is actually proof that the mechanisms put in place in ukraine to route out. corruption are actually working. sorry, before you let you go, do you get the impression or do people they are thing that western allies, the, that they've pushed aside their concerns about corruption in the rush to supply
11:09 pm
ukraine with weapons and to push russia back? well, we haven't really heard a lot about corruption since the russians invasion of ukraine of prison. zalinski government, of course, has had his priority has been, you know, fighting russian aggression. western allies are focused on giving him the military aid that he needs. lighting corruption has been a complicated issue, not just for the west, but also for journalists and activists in ukraine, who have been wary to kind of raise it and improve evidence off it for fear that they could harm international support for ukraine's water. heater abuse sonya fall in the car in the cave with the latest to night. sonia, as always thank you. and there has been no lit up in the fighting on the front lines in this war, especially close to bach moved it eastward ukraine. once of artillery fire have reduced much of the city and neighboring towns to ruins. we have this report on a group of volunteers who are braving the shell fire to bring the areas vulnerable

11:12 pm
here. holiday bike of awfully fled milly. shingo used to be a soldier than he worked in a factory and solider, and later sold fruit and vegetables. he always did everything on foot. now his foot is frozen. on a cold november day, he walked a long way to his nephew's house. in his socks, his foot never recovered. what made you decide to come out now? so he will call you if i didn't want to be evacuated. but i am a burden because i'm sick with those to benoit. i'm a burden on my nephew who is young and who he took me in. yeah, i knew or done mala, neu long all i've had to eat in the last few days. no, you spoiled sausages and macaroni. i tried to eat a little goof. there's no toilet here the length and yet as we missed him,
11:13 pm
we have to go. since he doesn't realize he's cold because he has an infection that raises his temperature. me doesn't realize he has frostbite. these volunteers have taken over evacuations because nobody else will. their mission ends here at the emergency room of the hospital, where they handle need mishenko over. he will probably lose the foot that helped carry him across the don bus. and joining me here at the big table is maxime, don't say coke. he is the director general of the ukrainian red cross. it's good to have you where this meet. you've got so many challenges facing you in you crate right now. let me ask you what, what are the biggest ones right now in the middle of this war? how like every ukrainian i can say the one to sit the main we shall fall ukrainians . this is to stop this war. that's dead. the main for at cross your son or for
11:14 pm
for other city, then it out as you, as a person for a moment. how confident are you, we hear from the politicians. we hear from military strategist that this war could be one, ended in one by ukraine this year, by the end of this year. are you confident that we're going to see an end to this, this tragedy and misery that soon? i hope for this. i wear too much hole for this, but to anyway, so our humanitarian mandate. nevertheless, to work to the people, to support the people who are suffering now. and this is name, this is main idea of red cross. it is main idea if you bring it across society and this is media of all or all you are across all around the world. if you've had to change your strategy, how to help people in just the past few months, because of russia's attacks, of the energy infrastructure in the country, it's winter. now it's impossible for
11:15 pm
a lot of people to turn the lights on to turn the heat or yeah, we were, we were ready to beat are the consequences. for example, we made an assessment on the winter is ation support at summer and of course, like a 10th of october in this miss, i was does that change our strategies? and of course, if from the very beginning we were ready to support people, you know, like with a some heaters with a heating stalls for example. then we crucially change our approaches for generators. definitely because they need, in general, they just became there quite very big. and it's not only about our personal needs, it's about sustainability of health services. our schools, most beatles which did, which helps return to a sense of something being normal. and maybe people think there's this perception that once the war is over, we won't need the red cross of the war,
11:16 pm
but that's not the cases that you'll be needed there more than ever. i wish a red cross never will needed to do this globe. but unfortunately, ah, now we live in this crazy world with a worse with climate problems. so unfortunately, referrals will be needed in what will be the biggest challenges for you in re holding the country? how will, how will the red cross play a role in doing that? a measure of challenge for us because usually red cross, this is, and you know, like it's a shade with, with a relief, right? but here in ukraine is the center of the europe. and now we are building our strategies on recovering the construction we build in our strategies around rehabilitation, mental health and physical rehabilitation. and of course, like on the 1st plan goes our social, economical development. all of you. great. so we trying to
11:17 pm
be some to have some changes to changes, but you're doing incredibly important work and i'm sure many people around the world wish you watch of success. maxime, don't think of the director general of the ukrainian red cross this you don't think we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight. good luck. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. aah! or turkey, he's a president, has warranted sweden not to expect his support in its bid to join nato. his comments came after a far right politician, burned a copy of the qur'an outside encores, embassy and stockholm. over the weekend. this incident has set off a series of protests across the middle east ha condemnation and humans, capital santa, against the burning of the koran. islam sacred scripture. the incident in sweden

11:20 pm
this order was on me now as a corresponded in istanbul. dorian jones give it to you, dorian, so we have a, a for right politician, sweden at the turkish embassy and stockholm, who sits a copy of the qur'an on fire. as a result, we've got turkey's president saying that he will not support sweden's membership in native. is this the, the whole story here? no, not a toll even before this koran, burning turkey was furious with sweet and over a protest 30 this month in which and he turkey, and he owed one protesters hanging f e t over one from a lamp post. now that calls absolute outreach and on cra, struck a personal cold with one given the fact that one of his political heroes was the turkish prime minister. now mentors who was hanged off for a military coup in 1960. so that this process just add a 3rd of fuel to the farther basic the encores accusing sarcoma harboring on claims
