a soft services on d w the let's see the news line from berlin, russia black sea naval headquarters in flames after a ukrainian with all striking precious defense ministry says one service man is missing after a long range missile hit the building and suffice to fall on the annex crimean peninsula, also on the program, china and syria agreed to closer ties as syrian leader of massaro law side, visits china for the 1st time in nearly 20 years, will ask what the 2 sides hoped to gain here in germany's men's football team has

a new coach now officially and union, that is mine, it takes over the reins and trouble of times for the national side. the really, it's good to have you with us the headquarters of russia, blacks, the fleet were hits in a ukrainian missile strike footage surfaced online shortly. after the strikes showing flings, and black smoke coming from the building in sylvester pool on the crime in peninsula which russia annex illegally in 2014 and there you can see the smoke billowing from the building pressure as defense ministry said initially that one service man had been killed but then amendment the statement to say is that the person was still missing and went on to say that russian, the air defense system shot down 5 of them as well. and our correspondent nick

connelly and keith told us more what we've seen images just in the last half hour or so of the sun 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 with ortiz, he'll spied stressful heavy to shut down the town center. it's so cold and off the locals comp go the, there's been lots of, i mean, so see most of the day, bruce, still strewn as for the casualty numbers as there's an expectation that those will rise. give them the number of 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 and crimea also come on points that have been that basically dug into the mountains that are being very heavily protected, but we're attacked using western built a christmas also real sense now that crimea is under attack by you paying for most of the day of the day i that was nic quarterly and why are we seeing ukraine step of these attacks on crimea in recent weeks?

well, i asked military analysts, marina moran from king's college in london. they have so many reasons for that. first of the ukraine doesn't have the same naval capabilities as russia does. so what to crane is trying to do is degrade. russia's black see fleet capabilities. and specifically, there are 2 main aim smaller tree names for that matter. the use the black safely it was used to fire clipper of missiles on odessa. so it would be obviously important for you frame to, to reduce the risk of an attack on the support that is connected with the odds or reasoning for that. and the odessa port is being used to explore, to cranium green and the green has seen some difficulties, especially was a, there was a pool and, and some other countries imposing upon a new premium. great, and it's important for you print to sustain its economy. therefore, neutralizing,

or at least reducing the capabilities of the black sea fleet, it wants to ensure that it's vessels can get to their destination. and of course, it has some psychological effect as well, showing that, especially as the lensky is asking for a long range missiles from the united states, showing the capabilities also ukrainian armed forces to precisely strike the russians in crimea. despite the era defenses and the spies of difficulties that ukrainian f was having. yeah, this was a strike, very much to the heart of russia's military operation in crimea. so how come russia is so vulnerable on a piece of land that is so important to them? that it is an interesting question. indeed, because russia has claimed to have advanced area defenses, most notably as he asked 400 deployed to crimea, deployed to civil stobel in order to protect the peninsula. the reasoning could be,

is a fact that the premium, the a f was used, the store to shadow or count missile, which has a cruise missile, which has a different tragic story. and by itself is much more difficult to intercept and the one hand, on the other hand, would have to look at the terrain of the surface purple. and there are a mountains. so when the operator of the air defense system sees a missile on the radar when it comes from out of the mound. and so to say it might be too late and, and they just don't have enough time to react. and the other option is, of course, that the, the, your defense systems were overloaded. so it wasn't just one missile fired. and that is apparently what happened. so, taking all those factors combined, it becomes more and more difficult for russia to defend crimean to defend its black sea fleet headquarters, putting it on the defensive. of course, you know,

we've spoken a lot about ukraine, slow counter, offensive out, good dismissal strikes on russian hill territory. be another way to weaken the enemy. and if so, could it be successful? and we have to look at the counter offensive as a multi faceted operation. so what is happening in operational right now is not the only point of contact. we have to look at all the other sectors of the front um site just because she of kind of drift covers you create new forces, have some success, and they are trying to encircle the russian forces or partially and circles. the russian forces environment, samuel tenuously, we have the brewing attacks. around belgrade we have thrown the attacks aimed at critical infrastructure aimed at and munition depots, and in order to reduce rushes capabilities in the to continue was it special military operation. so called special military operation. and we also have those

attacks on crimea, which all in conjunction should create a synergies and should create fact, especially on the rushes capability to assess that should make them also in, in a veil ability of rushes and munitions supplies. so i think am the integrated into the school operation. these attacks are important, but the overall effect will be decisive. and right now it's just one portion which is successful. military. alice moreno moran from king's college london. thank you. thank you very much for that. take a look at some other headlines from around the world of the queen's president will let him use the landscapes, told canada as parliament that justice will prevail as, as country fights, rushes invasion. you've been addressing lawmakers, an ottawa speaking earlier canadian prime minister, justin trudillo pipes nearly half a $1000000000.00 and military aid for you create

a police in armenia and obtain protesters and the capital a year. bond were demanding the prime ministers resignation. demonstrators accused the government of making too many concessions chose or by john and the not going to care about conflict. i think armenian separatists and the dispute region agreed to dismantle their forces following a 24 hour military offensive bye. as their advice on us, senator robert menendez and his wife have been indicted on bribery charges, federal prosecutors accused him of accepting gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and exchange for the democratic senators. in this one, a couple denied the accusation in diamond falls years of investigation by the justice department. news your authorities in the eastern libya say they will host an international conference and during the next month, aiming to raise funds for reconstruction efforts following a catastrophic flood 2 weeks ago or for water is washed away to dams and left much

of the coastal city in ruins. nearly 4000 people are known to have been killed in the region, but with many others still missing. the final death toll could be several times higher. this hospital and ben gauzy has been operating full capacity for nearly 2 weeks. most of its patients, a flood victims, a toughie. lisa was seriously injured when he was found by rescue. as in the port city of dunn, his house was destroyed and it was, i have injuries all over my body and including a broken arm and an inflamed wound on my leg. yet, my doctor told me he couldn't put it cost over my hand right away. because of the wound was inflamed with this beast. then how did you have the hospital, his also sent teams, if it's doctors a 150 miles away to done a to the city west affected by the storm.

torrential rain bus to dams which submerged huge areas under water and washed away buildings and seconds before the storm. this hall but was teeming with fishing boats and trade ships. now, a nice, smooth thing is out on the water. like to dive as in friends at cruz, trying to retrieve dead bodies and debris. local tug boat captains helped to rescue residents who had been swept out to see when the flash flood struck. at dawn, we heard a cry for help and rushed to provide assistance. it turned out to be an old woman hiding inside a refrigerator floating on the surface of the water. she was crying for help inside the fridge, and she was asking, where is my sister?

2 of my crew men went to help her. she was completely naked. piles of rubble, all that remained from entire neighborhoods and then a once bustling port city washed away in an instant watching the double. you news still the com of some ground for optimism in africa as conservation, as se reino numbers are slightly rising. again, the at 1st china as blanche to work more closely with syria as part of what is calling a strategic partnership. the announcement came following talks between president changing ping and syrian leader and bush are all a side. and the chinese city of hung joe and joint statement china calling for the removal of sanctions imposed on syria over its civil war. which friday some more protests against the assad regime. and the syrian town of the way the demonstrators

have inventing their anger over worsening economic conditions. area gallagher is an expert on china politics at the university of michigan in the us. and i asked, or whether zero's also on got what he wanted out of his trip to china. it's uh, i think it's too early to tell. i think he needs economic aid more than anything. but you know, this is an important trip for him. he hasn't been to china in 20 years. and the strategic partnership i think is pretty significant. what is the strategic partnership going to look like? because it is a buzz word in china isn't or yeah, it's a buzzword in china. it's also a buzzword in the united states. the united states is talking about vietnam. china is talking about syria. so i think it's a little unclear of what it will actually mean in practice for syria. i mean, whether or not china wants to commit a lot of aid into syria. it remains unclear. syria is

a little bit high risk for china. it's not a booming economy by any stretch and it needs a lot of reconstruction made due to the civil war. but again, a lot of this is about the symbolic moves that both united states and china are making around the world by showing that different countries are joining these, these different alliances. not, not full blown, military alliances, but these different sort of teams that are competing to me yet. how does syria figure into china is wider, middle east strategy? i think it's probably something that a china is doing to help the middle east in general, particularly saudi arabia and i ran after it, it record of the piece spill in. in march of this year, syria is an important country. it's been isolated due to the civil war and by bringing syria back into the full, not just in the middle east, but also with china will be really important. as a china has definitely taken a lead. now, in middle east of political relations,

particularly these really difficult ones involving countries that have either been at war with each other or have been in a long civil war. it's, it's not necessarily easy for china to do this too. this is a very big move on the part of a china is presidency, didn't paying to really take a very different diplomatic profile than any other chinese leader since now in china is of course not doing this for charity. this is all about influence and an expanding it's fear of influence in the middle. is there anything else in it for beijing, in this alliance with syria and particular? and there may be things going on behind the scenes regarding competition, also with russia. and i mean, we think of china and russia as closely aligned right now because of china is implicit support for russia and ukraine. at the same time, we know that russia and china have long had difficult relations. they're often in

competition with each other. they share long border, they've had territorial disputes recently put in a hosted kim john, i'm the leader of north korea. and china was recently in cuba giving an important speech a chinese liter. so what we see is a lot of a back room dealings where these countries, they're all together in a sort of access to of you know, autocratic countries. china is clearly the economic leader. but i think there's also some competition between china and russia in the middle east, where breast has been very, very involved in syria. i was trying to experts, mary gallagher from the university of michigan, speaking it to me a little earlier. but china is growing, influence in asia has done a lot to bring countries closer together, even militarily, southeast asian countries are holding their 1st joint military exercises against a background of height and tensions with beijing. the ozzy and drills are taking place off the coast of indonesia near the 929, and the need to move them from

a part of the south china sea where there are overlapping territorial. clint china says it has sovereignty, writes to most of the area, but the waters of border, many of the in countries, and they can test beijing's claims. this is where of the nation. so joining forces for the 1st ever block of schools, if nibble as a size, it comes at the time of rising tensions, is badging over china's claim to most of the south china sea in china is non dash line claim. and the saw china is the house costs $10.00, stand off with countries like that now melisha per night, and the philippines, lodging us loud on any little button there that a very some one to go to. that is the global spotlight is on the south china sea due to its abundant natural resources. silas dudley's, how many nations to a 3rd territorial claims in the area by our visa monk, blame relay. what id like enough about the, the, the indian easiest prime,

a huge active in its dealings with these nations is to maintain a neutral stance that i give them a sync up and about. but while the exercises are entirely focused on non combat activities, the drill is also being read by many as a cautious signal to china. bizarre tennessee is only 30 miles away and is one of the most disputed to your political fox squads of the 21st century. the 1000 members are all well aware of this and are being very careful not to provo, china too much. but this 1st exercise, the 5th time initially plan at the edge of the start china, c, indonesia relocated the exercise, often a tune, the islands to steer clear potential objections from being regarding the disputed region. so it's important to note that conducting exercises in the south china seas prohibited it is critical to maintain a sense of balance as failing to do so, could be perceived as aligning with the united states in the past of in countries

had health joint exercises. but the u, as in russia, this members only drilled as intended to demonstrate audience neutrality in the us . china conflict. well also showing unity against china the world reino, day and for once conservationist have something to celebrate. for the 1st time in decade, the number of the giant animals has increased their now more than 23000 in the wild in africa. that is up 5 percent from a year earlier. but protecting them from poachers is anything but easy. they weigh a good 3 tons feet exclusively on plants and the pregnancies last, almost a year and a half. the number of rhinos in africa is on the rise because we're managing to reduce touching offices, street efforts to, to protect runners on the ground and disrupt the networks that are talking that owns and creating the right situations. and the maximum number of runners can be

bold. poaching remains the largest threat to the right of the population. the powder extracted from the homes is still considered a health remedy, especially in asian countries. yet the homes are made of carrots and just like human fingernails. what we found about 1012 years ago, the population work on this increase in about 25000. and then we saw. busy facing a lot of rent and punching the tickets on africa and south africa be the best in the water population. was particularly hard hit in order to better protect the animals. adults, rhinos are released into less dangerous areas. they also dated and floated long distances to parks. protected from poachers in south africa are alone. $300.00 animals that are expected to be released every year for the next decade. hope to hear more about this good news for rhinos from markets halls. my are the director

of the reiner recovery fund, who joins us from window in the media. and i'm sure this is also good news for you . how was wrong or recovery fund involved in protecting rhinos and achieving population growth this year? a good evening there on the recovery funding, there's a, a fund that puts a redundant dollar into the field. the current is supporting $57.00 projects in 15 countries and 2 continents. so we try and select and event projects that are doing around a protection holistic can work as efficiently and effectively width and brand. i even deal with all the complexities on the ground. cars are on as a petri defenseless against humans, and therefore they need to be protected, but only by good ranges, but also by the society. and the people living in and around the parks, which is not easy. task is some right, no spaces are already extinct. and others are critically endangered. how confident are you that these latest numbers show that we are in fact on the right track to

save them from extinction? so there's 5 spaces of runners in the world, 3 and 2 in africa. the african runners are the ones that increased and one of the agents. this is the wondering india and the poll. unfortunately, 2 spaces that occur. i mean indonesia on numbers less than 70 each. and they all critic, pretty critically and things. it's pretty difficult to monitor very difficult, difficult to protect. so i'm very confident that the right one on the, on an indian, the pole, is going to continue to increase as, as all the african ramos. it's those indonesian runners that are so critical thinking. now your of course, focusing on on the rainbows in africa, but in indonesia, what can be done to reverse this trend and put them on, on the right track, as has happened in other regions of the world. and so the 1st thing that needs to happen is the 2 areas we have at the test. this is a good one because on the island of java, another on the island of semester, in

a very remote and dense rank. first, those 1st need to be protected at all costs because there's not on either on his or protected other species as well. any time by going to need to be relocated to other products that can be safely looked after these one small cut to the facility and software. they are trying to breed them in the sidney captive environment. but the, the recovery is based, slightly separate texting and the wildest, the most important thing to do at the moment or steps need to be pulled out to do. how big of a problem is, is poaching still today. and why is it still so prevalent? so right now, one is probably meant value in the legal market says criminal syndicates, but it in the same value as a smuggling of weapons, people, drugs because of its value. so that's unfortunately something that the conservation has some very little control over and the market is in the far east nicely. and then the, the source population is not at the moment of primarily from africa. so she's

pressed corruption and a lot of lawlessness in that particular area. it becomes very difficult to protect on this. and breaking this coming also suddenly gets done is it is a function that they need to do from a global perspective. says criminal syndicates after that actually, even though there's proven, know the value of it from an additional point of view. exactly, exactly, that isn't, it gets to something i do want to get into briefly because we don't have much more time. but how can we put an end to the demand? so that is a difficult thing. i mean, we are trying to find partners in the use countries. let's china and getting them to a large degree. but from the bottom up, you start changing the culture within the countries because the campaigns driven from waste in countries have been proven to be very successful. so it's working within the countries themselves and it's really pretty good. and then protecting abruptly in the countries where they split the markets of mind from the reiner recovery fund. thank you so much for your time. thank you. and then other news.
