the you and from suspended age as the financial ties with nisha. and this marks the 7th coo and this, the halloween since 2020 finding a solution to the political uncertainty is growing. ever more urgent. you brings president the load was lensky. has said that russia's war on ukraine is gradually returning to russian territory. his comments followed, a suspected ukrainian groaned, attack the damage and office block in moscow. according to russian officials, the drums crashed into the buildings after the war electronically jammed. a 3rd drawn was reportedly shot down, causing the temporary closure of moscow airport. earlier i spoke to carrie chavez, a political scientist from texas tech and a research fellow with the modern war institute at west point. i began by asking her what we know with the weapons being used to carry out these attacks. it's unclear are the 3 involved in the locker region attack today,

although given the range and the payload damage, we can probably speculate, but there are kinda models that use in this course of action before. maybe they use a 22 or the chinese made moving 5. and i seen that because overnight and around the same time, 25 drones were down approaching crimea. c and there's no video of images of either other than the implosion an aftermath, but they're for speculation of the prime interest. and that they were the move in by the we actually have an indication of where these drones are being launched from where they belong from ukrainian territory or the immersion from somewhere within the russian borders. or assuming they were the heavier long range drones, like those i just named they were likely launched from your training in territory. and that one was intercepted outside of moscow proper. in a separate district, it suggests that they were traveling from some distance. now, so far ukraine has denied it's behind such drone attacks, but we know what specific military goals they might be trying to achieve. business

like military goals. this is a much bigger, strategic and symbolic issue like the ones you quote that you, you open to the section with the types of a psychological damage and public confidence, especially given the targets that were selected for this particular attack. and it could be substantial. and that so the doubt that rationally can reliably control and defense it's, it's hardware and much less their front lines. and these attacks the curves and the 2 that made it passed into moscow region, 2 of them, they hits moscow city districts. that's an area, that's what a lot of business, a lot of the, well, the government's ministries. and so these areas are striking to have the luxury real estates and the ministry of communications. so i think that the types of targets they're selecting are more psychological than they are military, other strengths that they're, they're using, and the crimea, and, and some of the munitions depots. those do have military value. but this is

a bigger picture about the war in the hearts of russian. one, it does seem that these attacks are rattling, at least the political body with in russia, a former russian present, demitria gender reiterated his country's threat that it could use nuclear weapon. should ukraine continue to push back against its invasion? how seriously shall we take such threats? so what, what do you mean you have to do to set explicitly? what's that if the ukranian counter sensor was a success, or if they, you said, quote, tore off a part of our land, then russia would be forced to fall back on their nuclear doctor. and that states that nuclear weapons can be used in response to addresses from congressional weapons that poses as a central threats. but those conditions are not met in these drone attacks. but the russian officials themselves are cleaning, are insignificant and damage. and so i think that that comment is it, yet, it is already more hawkish among student council. i think there's no doubt that he's using this rhetoric to posture,

but i don't think they apply directly to this type of attack where this specific attack today, they're about the broader war effort, which has been much more slow going and less than the sectional than an attack in moscow. all right, so no reason to be concerned as of yet. thank you very much. that was carried chavez, a senior research fellow with the mountain war institute at west point. thank you for your analysis. let's take a look now. some other stories making headlines around the world. a suicide bomber has killed at least 40 people and wounded, nearly 200 more potable convention pockets that it happened in car close to pockets times border with i've done this on the bomber through gathering other john mike. lemme is loan because of a party which has been the target of previous attacks. what kind of thing is underway in the central african republic following a referendum on a new constitution? the proposed changes would extend the term of the president and scrap the to terminate. this would allow president to dara, to run for

a 3rd term opposition. parties had urged people to boycott the vote. it is. government has like don't. it is considering walking away from the controversial chinese infrastructure project known as the belt and rude initiative. italy was the only major western country to sign on. prime minister george maloney said in an interview with fox news that our government is currently debating whether to reverse rooms 2019 foreign policy, move the front of the ox with the, with the bun central. the initiative is that we are the only nation in, in, in the g 7 and did you look in union, but we are not. and then the nation that is that as the best trade with china, that means you can have good relations with china without the both ends over the nation. do buddies. something in my opinion has to be discussed with chinese government and well with the inside of the tale italian parliament. but anyway, we'll take

a position before december joining me now and the studio is dw china analysts, clifford conan. so clifford, why exactly is italy taking this step to leave the building road initiative? i think a big factor is that the security situation has changed since the russians invasion of ukraine. maloney has been very 4th rise in her backing for ukraine. and china is, has given almost tacit approval to the invasion. so i think a lot of that is her a lot of business her following through on that decision. but it also ties in move on that the reason she gave there is that it hasn't really beneficial basically that much what they've seen as a big increase in, in imports from china, but it hasn't really benefited italian exports there. so does a combination of various things that are plays well also initially at the same time . so what combination of elements that have has driven this decision? i think, well on its face, the belt road initiative is in a massive infrastructure project. so why exactly is it so controversial in the world stage? the reason has been so controversial is because it's been seen as being used to

a spread chinese influence overseas. i'm and that it's, it's not just about building roads and football rina's and it's also about building influence on and i'm pushing the chinese system in the head of a democracy or other or other forms of government. and there's also been a problem, is that a lot of the countries that are you taking part are heavily indebted and that they're worried that they're going to be stuck with big debt bills when, if china does call in some of these loans. and how do you think beijing is actually going to react to this news? well, i think that given the they, they operate a policy of trying to keep your up on the us a part of this decision. it shows a willingness on these on these are these parts to be more united and how is that acts in with, with your up. so i don't think the chinese are going to be very happy advisors and i think the way there to be painted as they're showing that them is least bowing to us pressure. and that's,

that seems to be the way that they operate. but um i think overall they're just not going to be happy with this. right? that was dw, the china analysts, clifford tuning, thanks for joining us. at the women's football world cup columbia shocked former champions, germany the to win victory was thanks to a teenage sensation and a very late when after a goal as far as tough, columbia strode out into the 2nd with confidence. they took the bull by the horns, and in the 50 seconds minutes teen sensation. linda can i say to made him up with the friends, have to finish the 18 year old showed quick feet and skills a put a side in front, the colombians well, and truly wearing big game face germany struggling to make much of their possession . but minutes from full time, they were awarded a penalty in the 1890 minutes captain. like some of the pope's steps up

a gearbox change were giving his rivals such a head start. made little difference. the world champion made early progress failed, which is vastly superior. read all the lights have passed, 7 times will champion louis hamilton without any hassle. i suppose it challenges. yeah, left left in the ferry on let 9 teammate sergio perez pulled up more of a fight at the front. but push step on the lines is governance, and if well, by easily overtaking the mexican in a red ball car, which is meant to be as quick as the documents. rein mid race was the only threats of a staffing on the spot attract famous but bad weather and bad collisions. but he just ignored it and drove faster. his 8 went in a row and the 10th and 12 races this year, putting $125.00 points ahead. as this ball dentist, a mid season break,
