a slight see ring in the new year. it is one of the world's most popular new year fireworks displays with large crowds turning out in person and also millions more people watching on the including us. now this is not how the new year is being run in everywhere i this year in ukraine. it's a much more dire picture. are russia has launched a fresh barrage of strikes, targeting the capital q of and inflicting damage on residential areas of the country. second largest city, our case must go. officials have said that the attack on har. keith was in retaliation for ukraine's bombardment of the russian city of belgrade a day earlier. in central har keys, ukrainian emergency crews respond to heavy, showing in the hours leading to new year's eve. these the russian forces struck

here at least 6 times in during over dozen people and damaging several apartment buildings. one of the residents irina survived with minor injuries. this is our media presence. they gave us to this new yeah. the shortly they have select to children. believe we like a song because of a bomb residential areas. there are people here who were just talking one do such a thing. of the strikes and car keys are only the latest of over a 100 miss styles that read down on ukrainian cities. in the last few days. ukraine has described it as the largest aerial assault since the start of the war,

nearly 2 years ago. flea mc uh, but i know it serves a, another strike is a nursery and completely destroyed this one, approving us to the residential building, surrounding it, sustained heavy damage from the blast of the explosion. $200.00 we have to wear the whole wheeler brush. meanwhile, has accused ukraine showing a residential area in the city of belgrade, just 30 kilometers from the ukranian border. that strikes, russia says, killed over 20 people and wounded over a 100. to strike against russia, came one day after it's large scale aerial attack. ukraine has an officially claimed responsibility, but president bull loading mir zalinski warrant. moscow would be held responsible for its intensified strikes. so is it the same as your wasting all throughout the day today? there has been reports on the aftermath of the russian strikes are in total more

than 120 cities and villages and ukraine suffered from yesterday's russian attack alone may 13 1000000 people were killed. but even though the blue sky that she was dotted for all of the strikes on odessa of sumi and key for every shot drone for every russian mississauga, the terrace stays with fair responsibility, both into political and also practical sense. you'd lose a practitioner. both sides have reported an increase in a tax and the last week of 2023, leaving many fear of what the new year will have in store for them. i spoke earlier to frank language, a military analyst, and former british military intelligence officer. and he explained why both russia and ukraine have ramped up there a time. it's sending you crazy to tax on bell garage. what the credit site is that civilian casualties will cost by rushing on to cost me solves crossing, which seems not likely,

but it's clear also there may be able to tell actually elements to us to the more of the situation more widely. i don't think i do this as a surprise. we weren't expecting a russian assault using that consolidated, and a crude weaponry, a weapon, the accrued over the last few months. we've got to see more of these me solve solve so the next few days as well. i with assessments on any make the, the russians want to, to start the new years i wish to go on. and that the main objective of this is to deplete your praise defenses with the subsidy objective. i suspect savings last year about the money, the morales civilians in which both of which i think needs will fail west very good time to make sure that the pay does not always intelligible, these and lock it by defense. so that's, that's what's gonna happen. i suspect that most of the reasons i didn't want to jump in um, because we are looking ahead to 2024 and and the new year. and i'm curious what your expectations are for what that might bring. do you think it could be the year

that we see some kind of negotiations? i don't think so. i don't think there's, there's that there's incentives on either side from the affinity perspective. that objective is to hold on to consolidate, to start to build their industrial weapons base and consolidate those front lines to build an sustain fortifications and to rebuild and rebuild our own forces from the rest and expect that they will continue on the assault. they will say, well, i think to make any particular gains and we're looking here. this sort of 1st world will sort of positional a situation that all along the line and indeed no widely, politically to note there's no incentive, but they look, ukrainians will not see land. they cannot trust the russians from the restroom perspective. they will be content to engage ukraine going forward. it fulfills that political objectives to in key question. of course, as the extent to which the west will continue to support your brain. but by that,

we're talking about united states, not just this year, but going forward. well, thank you very much. as always, that is military analyst, frank language. thank you. time and the gaza strip is riley forces are pressing their offensive further south. where is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says they aimed to take control of gauze as border with egypt. in the last 24 hours, 150 published indians have been killed and is rarely strikes as according to the hamas run health ministry. and that is putting even more pressure on displaced people seeking refuge. as israel plans to take control of the area around the goals is border with egypt, the displace palestinians crammed the streets of rafa, the towns right next to that folder. they have come here to escape intense fighting in south and central garza. they flew with just the bare essentials. everyone

is looking for shelter and space is running out. and we came here 20 days ago. we couldn't find any place to put to 10. so west staying at the status of the most of the if not so we know the situation is tragic. we don't have drinking will. so we don't have food. i like the kids wake up in the morning wants you to eat without both. it's a dream that i was adding to the spiraling humanitarian crisis. the will continues in central 1000 rescue was race to find survives, is that my goal is the cam officer is riley strikes in the area. and israel's army is pushing into the southern city of con eunice as they try to eliminate him mass, which is widely considered a terrorist organization. as the intense conflict me sped,

the south displaced palestinians are running out of places to flee. turning now to some other world news headlines, north korean leader kim jong and says his country will launch more spice satellites and build more nuclear weapons in 2024. can set out the goals at an end of year meeting, calling for quote, overwhelming war readiness. in north korea has ramped up weapons test this year despite international sanctions, or the west militaries as it has sunk a several year many who see revel boats in the red sea. after responding to a distress call from a merchant ship, whose thieves have been attacking is rarely like ships in the red sea for weeks in protest against as well as war and gaza. the us state of california has the issue of evacuation orders after giant waves hit coastal areas authorities warrant people to stay out of the water saying the waves could reach up to 6 meters high. the high surface causes injuries and property damage for several days with more flooding.

expect it over the weekend. here in germany, chancellor, while i felt as used as new here was message toward of a difficult geo political landscape ahead. but express confidence that quote, germany will get through it, and it's been a difficult 12 months for schultz politically. he's had to grapple with coalition in friday and his own rock bottom popularity ratings. this year's new year dress from german trying to lot of show it's wasn't message of optimism despite the fact, almost 2 thirds of germans dissatisfied with his leadership. and that's the easiest way, if i'm you remember where we stood one year ago, numerous experts had full cost and economic down to an of 345 percent. many said that prizes would keep on rising on the things turned out differently because we held back that economic down to we saved energy and we met timely preparations. we

all did together in mines on sholtes, also appraised the government's handling of domestic issues such as providing tax relief for german slipping of low incomes. and you think the many who have helped in the heavy floods that have struck pots of germany. while the world outside is and turmoil sold season onset to international conflicts in europe. and, and being prepared for whatever comes out of the elections to the white house in 2024 point. we have friends in europe and across the globe. these are partners with whom i discussed on a daily basis. how we will guarantee ya, security in germany and europe after world rushes of war and the east of continents is no saver, nor is the on the conflict in the middle east. the overhead will also bring presidential elections in the united states, which may have far reaching consequences, including for us here in europe, for owns here and hope. and to those who are politically active in germany. she

calls for mutual respect in debate, stick to it, but nothing gets better if we just talk about each other instead of to each other. our strength for science and our readiness to compromise in the efforts we put in for one another. why last year's new address was dominated by foreign politics. this year, the chancellor colt and germans to have faith in themselves and german authorities are stepping up security ahead of tonight's new year's eve celebrations last year. police officers and emergency staff for attempts with pyrotechnics. this year germany has increased security measures and his pleading for peaceful festivities. your alarm bells are ready ringing for them. and these emergency services, they said the ton of this year could turn out to be just as violent as last time. many firefighters and police were attacked with pyrotechnics. the government is

concerned about it happening again. i'm worried that on yours if we could, once again experienced blind rage and census violence. berlin police are even appealing to the public not to make them the targets. please don't attack us. we don't shoot at us with the pyrotechnics and fire crickets. while violence against the emergency services has been rising all year new year's eve, known as the vesta leaves them, especially exposed demons can legally by fi works for a few days at the end of each year. but some use the pyrotechnics to attack those who have that to help submission. so you know, every attack on the person in uniforms. whether it's a firefighter, the police officer ambulance worker, isn't a tech on the stage. i thought we, i'm not just helping the fire department, but the whole community lynn is deploying an extra $2800.00 police offices

on the streets this year and fireworks are banned in some areas of the city. the authorities are determined to prevent any repeats of seems like things, but as it is update at this hour, i will be back in 45 minutes with more news headlines or states use for doc. so coming up next. thank you so much for watching the it shouldn't be this one here. it's hard not to feel something really is happening here. what is happening to greens and ice, explore and untouched the into the ice dw.
