[000:00:00;00] the business dw news life from by then rushes black sea naval headquarters in flames after ukrainian miss sile strikes. specialist defense minister says one serviceman is missing after a long range based on the building. and so vast adults only makes crime be in financial. also on the program, germany's men's football team has a new coach in union, non government and takes of the reins and troubled times for the national side

the . i'm feel okay, welcome to the program. the headquarters of russia's blacks. the fleet is a blaze following the ukranian mist file strike footage fixed on line. shortly after the strikes showing flames and black smoke coming from the building and suffice to fall on the crime in peninsula which russia onyx illegally. back in 2014 versus defense ministry said initially that one service, one had been killed for that, amended the state and decided the person was missing. he went on to say that russian ad defend systems shutting down 5 of the messiahs us corresponding to nick connelly in k. you've told me no. we've seen images just in the last half hour or so of some going down. now it's restful and the smoke continuing this fi, seemingly still not out. there's not much in the way of access the russian hill towards israel spied stressful,

happy to shut down the town center. it's so cold and off the locals can't go there . there's been lots of, i mean, so you see lots of debrief still strewn as for the casualty numbers as there's an expectation that those will rise. give them that. i'm the people that work in that building, but so far we don't have much in the way of hard facts with this when he comes up as you're part of a string of attacks we some days we've had a tax on a russian military fields in crimea, also come on points that have been that basically dug into the mountains that have been very heavily protected. but we're attacked using west and built a christmas also real sense now that crime is under attack by you paying for most of the day of the day. why do you think that has free mis increase and attacks on the occupied crime me when you speak to me that checks. but think if they say that basically crime, it has been turned into a heavy falsified a russian kind of how are you, where you carry

a ship off ukraine's coast in 2014. since that equation took part took place and we seem cards to attack. so all the way through his will on a desk sick through some parts of your crane. and so basically taking out that fleet making rush and move those ships to other port further away from ukraine's black people that we really take the who 2 of those cities. those are forces for us to concentrate, gets a defense and the currently protecting its truth. and without some grain in crime, yes, that makes things easier for you cranes. counter offensive, but it's, it's about the logistics because right now the vast majority of supplies to those garrisons in the region, and yet they're all coming through crime. yeah. so the next step will be the attack on that bridge connecting premier with the russian mainland. so that 6 profession here in cuba. hi. so that make, i look calmly into you. so what does that new train in striking main folder version? what do i put, that's to steve in the block, who's a senior fellow of the foreign policy research institute. you raise your program as well. it's

a defeat to be perfectly blunt about it. it shows that the russians have inadequate defences against ukrainian anti ship and drone artillery. and what's more that they don't seem to be able to cope with the threat that ukraine poses to them. it's also indicates it's enabled strategy. that is, it's another indication with naples strategy. you rush it has followed it is blowing apart, apart from all the other threats that the, your corresponding to mention. the naval uh, aspect of the what was at the black sea fleet was supposed to block a do credit that block aid is pulling apart. ukraine does not be able to send ships through a carter and the black sea, with commercial windows for exports. it is destroyed, rushes, logistics, and it's intelligence capabilities in crimea. and the overall objective is to make crimea untenable, as

a place to stay in and work for russia. so right to conduct the operations. so, why is russia's and naval efforts folding upon to as you describe it? you know, that's a very hard question to answer. obviously they don't take the ukrainian capability seriously enough. still, they don't have proper air defense. that's quite obvious. and uh, they leaving these buildings to all extensive purposes. unprotected uh, there are other examples where they had failed to move adequately with regard to naval operations as well. they planned amphibious operations at the beginning of the war, and those never came off. the maybe this doesn't have an answer to your credit in anti shipping, the artillery and drums. okay, that's

a few months to do. so given that is face attack on try may of this latest attack on cry there. well, what difference will it make to what, what moscow is doing negatively moscow is already moving, trying to move the fleet out of range of ukrainian, or taylor are totally, i mean, missiles and drones. so that makes it harder as your is nikia, as your corresponding pointed out to attack ukraine with missiles because those ships has now further away. it also makes it much more difficult to enforce this blockade of ukraine's grand trade, which they tried again in july when they broke the grant agreement with the as charger u. n. and ukraine to enforce that. it also makes it harder for them to sustain logistics capabilities for their forces in south of ukraine. so the fact of the matter is that there doesn't seem to be a viable naval strategy right now coming out of moscow. but we haven't heard much

from moscow in response to this attack of just a quick summary of casualties. does that tell us anything? yes, it means they were taken by surprise and they don't have an answer for it. and that the probably put in is looking for somebody's had the role as a result of this because this is a terrible failure. this is the main headquarters building. i've been black safely and it appears to have been on defended. thank you for that. as steven black from big foreign policy research institute, you're welcome. we'll take a look at the single headlines around the world. new kinds of present in front of me is that landscape in canada to raleigh supports for the war against russians. and patients who was welcomed by the prime minister just intruder, and parliament latest, and also is due to address little makers later on and on. the trip is his 1st to

canada since the war by god the shipments of great have left ukraine since that russia we impose the blockade on the blocks in the block c vessels left. the 4th of total mosque, i'm leaving with condo bond for african and asian markets. you claims testing a new shipping rules after russia withdrew a deal. a line with safe passage of great ships. bronzes arrived in the french port city of mos site for a 2 day visit. focusing on the migration crisis in the mediterranean trip comes as thousands of new arrivals overwhelmed the banquet reception center on the italian island of land. producing the pontiff as describe the situation, the cruelty and the terrible lack of humanity. the nigerian government spokes person says gunman, have kidnapped certified people from a university in the north western states or some father. the region has seen a search and kid nothings by the gangs and militants in recent years. friday's abduction is the 1st major incident involving students this year. it's

a china past types to work more closely with syria. best part of what is calling a strategic partnership. announcement came following talks between president choosing, paying on sooner than later by shaw outside the chinese city of 100 and a joint statement that china calls the removal of sanctions imposed on syria over its set for civil war to friday. so mold protests against the south nation in minnesota and kind of swayed, demonstrates us up in fencing the august other worsening economic conditions. we'll see you go to all holla, otherwise they said china is rolled on the global stage for fryeburg university. i asked to why china is now closing up to serious aside well, i think china has um, yeah, to strategic interest and taking out of this visit of us, southern china. i wouldn't over estimate the strategic importance of this business, but it's um, there is a political and economic incentive. i see. politically,

of course, this visit comes in very handy at a time in which china is trying to expand his role in the middle east. beyond economic engagement, and of course, it's playing quite nicely and those even things has to provide alternatives to western engagement, to provide potential financial support, to be a separate team. and throughout all the years of the civil war, china has never left syria sides. it has used as role in the un security council various times to vote against resolutions criticize a syria, and now it is of course, a strategic move also to expand his role in the region in which the united states has traditionally being the dominant force. okay, the thing we need. mm hm. and the other thing we need to keep in mind in san francisco, the celebration i have currently celebrating 10 years of it's spelled remote emission to this. yeah. and syria joined the b r i last year and is he has another

quite strategic puzzle piece for china to expand this initiative into the region. and i think especially the port of lot talk here, which is serious because sports is of particular importance here because it could gain quite could gift china and access to the mediterranean sea. okay. so how much of what sort of, how, what kind of assets expect from china given that serious a economy is in ruins after a decade of civil war? well, what you can actually extremely expect in terms of numbers is, is quite on. and so my think what i said is definitely hoping for is big investments. so syria, really nice chinese financial supports to rebuild the country. i said, does not have many allies left except for turkey, russian and iran. and those 3, of course, lexa financial forces to help syria rebuilt the country. so china and basically

serious only and last hope to gain international investments. i think china will be very cautious in providing huge sums directly with the chinese companies. still very cautious to invest in the country on the field to actively go against the western sanctions. here is i think still a lot bigger than what is to gain from investments in the country. so right now is quite on. so that's a nice thing. what syria can actually expect in terms of, in terms of investments, will a great to a chinese presence in syria will not be welcomed by the why that mid least or sewing. so. um, i mean, if we interpret this visits against the back of the reasons a chinese flickering of the around. so the upper small agreements, we can draw a 2 conclusions here. iran would obviously become a stronger chinese ties to syria. it has itself a longstanding good for nations to china for so your radio,

which had quite the contrary position also in the syrian civil war. i seems, i could see a stronger chinese engagement or even a strategic partnership between china and syria as quite the fall and, and i would be very interested in seeing how so your so your radio would react to the strategic partnership that has been announced today. fast, the nice thing, talk to you for to hear sir, that dr. julia a good all have given me a 5, it's actually a better strategy. we'll have more on all sides. that trip to china and news agent coming up at the end of this program and spoke unit, not those ones beneficially, presented as a new coach of germany's men's national football team. the 36 year old, a former coach of live sick and buy a new and a co signed the contract until the end of the european championships. here in germany next summer replaces henzy sick. who was sacked based months is
