the, the, this is the w news live problem button. a military plane crash inside russia, from schools for an international investigation. russian media report say both black boxes have been found at the crash site. must go and keep a blaming a child's us. so that is almost a 1000. so the training and soldiers were allegedly on board heading home and a christmas one full set coming up on the program, withdrew in westport, west wolf, wolf, and now come and place in the war. and ukraine will get a look at the cussing edge battlefield technology design to protect soldiers from threats from the sky. and israel, the rules of rev rebuke from its staunchest ally,

the us up to an attack on a un chelsea to inform eunice which kills 12 people. plus north korea demolishes a symbol of hope for unification with the south. the massive arch of reconciliation and film yang appears to vanish from satellites. and the jury stays officer leader kim jong and said peaceful here. and this occasion was no longer possible the money to indicate. and thanks so much for being with us. russian state media says that both blackbox is from a military plane crash has been found in southern russia. the kremlin says, keeps forces shot down the cross killing all 74 people on board. the victims included 65 you creating in soldiers who were on the plane as possible the prisoner

swap. now keith is accusing moscow of deliberately risking the lives of prisoners of war and has demanded an international inquiry. the un security council will meet to discuss the incidents and just a few hours at the request of rushes, foreign minister based footage shed and social media. we set to show the moment the russian ministry tron spots across the black smoke streets, the grey skies. then a fireball chief is confirmed, that's a prisoner swap, was due to take place. but that to not being asked by russia to ensure safe operational as space ukraine's president let them use the landscape, has canceled upcoming trips on call for an international investigation which will be the short i see on the russians are playing with the lives of to put in, in prison knows what the feelings of the latest and with the motions off of society

. we need to establish all the effects as much as possible, given that the dining of the plane. ok, good on the russian territory. the toilet was a national control. ukraine often targets russian ministry transport planes believe to be delivering me files, especially me. it's frontier and saves rush. it could be trying to destabilize the situation or the defense ministry. clayton, $75.00 people are on board, including $65.00 ukraine prisoners of law versus foreign minister has called for the un security council to discuss the incident. the latest explain the cleanings, but most of more web transported to the pedagogy agents in order to conduct shit that this web was through that was agreed between moscow and keith instead of this over so that you create inside last and add defense reside from the hockey regions that are you on the side could sit and talk, i did the airplane scene,

you've been most of the fatal strike, well done by the most, some under the categories. so for the b, i craft way down in the bulk or a region of southern russia close to ukraine's boulder, the regional government said the plain, crushed in the field near a residential area. and they would notice the volume as a spring and marina marana security on the list at kings college london. hi marina . good to see if these flight record is that russia recovered from the cross plane was to be made public. what do you suspect that they reveal a good day on it? well, it's very difficult to tell what those record years will reveal. the usually those recordings would include the flight the does the altitude. and so all sorts of technical things, and also the conversations and the cockpit and radio transmissions. so what i'm thinking is that we will be able to establish one plane,

was hit at what altitude and go from there to possibly to determine the trajectory of the missiles that came and hits a plane. the same we could establish is a communication amongst the pilots. and the communication them from the pilots to do the air traffic controllers are both on the russian and don't on the premium side. so we might find more information of what was happening in order to be able to validate whereas, that ukrainians aware that the russians were coming. or was it a mistake, or was it not a ukrainian or russian era defense and this will. so all those questions might be clarified to a certain extent. now moscow is claiming that ukraine was given a 15 minute warning about the flight. ukraine is denying this, but let's say russia did tell ukraine would 15 minutes be enough time to then warn ukrainian from line units or late. i think when russia in the

ukraine agreed to set the date, was a specifics present or a swap. there would have been no, let's look at some point and the time was set as well. apparently reporting due to several sources that ukraine would be. where were you bringing in these military intelligence was aware of when and where is what's going to happen. so i think given the advance warning when the plane was 15 minutes before entering that dangerous area to the front, the troops and you bringing home you can cations are working well. i think it might have been enough to turn off the air defenses in order to allow that plane to get through without being targeted. and presumably if that's if, if the ukrainians had that information. ok, let's talk about most of those claim. the plane was destroyed by ukrainian missiles that was us made pop through. so german made iris t systems. how likely is this? i mean, we know that way that ukraine says it was use the ne said foreign weapons to attack

russia? that is correct. that's what ukraine said. however, those um air defense systems are also located very close to the border. so as the ukrainian, it will be sad that a military aircraft, even if it set transport aircraft, is a legitimate target. so from the cranium point of view, they were defending their territory because the military aircraft was about to cross the border. so i think it is plausible on, and i'm not sure that iris team itself would have the range to shoot the plane down, but it would have been possible for before a patry of missile. however, it's just speculation. at this stage we need to wait and see what it will be found amongst the wreckage and evaluated and, and then go from there. all right, now thanks so much as always. that's marina moran security analyst at king's college london. so thank you for having me. now it's been cold,

the news threat from the sky, but nearly 2 years into the wall in that ukraine cheat. kamikaze drones have become commonplace and are often the weapon of choice in place is more expensive. artillery shells. now, according to the drum units of the ukrainian on a kind of causing drones like this one have destroyed more than $100.00 them. so see russian tanks and around $200.00 on the vehicles since january, the 1st alone. the russia also uses lots of drones instead of stopping russian drones, is becoming ever more impulsive to the finance. one effect of way to do this is the use of drone guns and at least spaces the all weapons jam signals between a drone and this operates a stuffing them before they can reach that target. the w isn't that commonly match with the ukranian style set, which says drone guns will soon be as a central, as a helmet or body oma for soldiers on the front lines. it might look like a toy,

but this drone gun is packed with cutting edge technology. it's adventure, say they've tried to keep things as simple as possible. it only has 4 buttons sealed, and it was sold as well. and you really need on an off engineers to convince the technology like this can make the difference between life and death for soldiers on ukraine's front lines. excellent. why? yeah. the signal germany is vital meaning you without saying any equipment you have will be destroyed in an instant. so it'll be fault drones if your opponent, hard to get much closer to be able to. it's like a tongue with a grenade launcher. now, drones can fly 10 kilometers and takeout times at that distance. the moment they wish of these technologies, the response to the massive impact cheap kind of calls the drones have had on both sides of the front line. this video reports show ukrainian drone destroying a russian tank. a $1000.00 drones strong targets with millions,

it's become the gnome. and this will guns disrupt the signal between operators that runs. they can also block navigation systems like gps, glow, nice. by the way, the drone cottages targets, we'll see how it works like this. well, there's the show. this is a typical drone used helps of ation on the front lines. erie is waiting for it a few kilometers down the road with a drone gun or the other. you see that we've lost signal. one of the red light means we've lost connection, and we've also lost the video, the strong house to return to home function. that means it can find its way back and also pilots into the most cheaper kind because the drones don't have that feature. instead they'll stop and eventually crash without connection to their operator. it's an endless game of cat and mouse. both sides change their frequencies and navigation systems, and both sides, increasing the able to operate around the clock is night vision technology becomes

more widespread. ukraine. these men say has to innovate foster to have any hope against russia's. foss produces their painfully aware, vulnerable. drones have made anyone in the front trench yonkers roof and i talked to new soldiers to spend a whole lot of their own task on the funds the natives funded helmet. sum of all the alma that's not going to protect them from time of causing drones and they would have to have a $1000.00 sets and for the amo just isn't going to make a difference without some kind of electronic wolf egg killed basically unprotected people. we both of them is a fish, and it took every year of intense fighting for the generals on both sides, this war to understand what improvise civilian drones could do. the justice behind when it comes to electronic welfare and tone tells us it's time. ukraine doesn't have to lose let's talk about this little think this one good defense expedite to

the european council on foreign relations with a special focus on the impacts of new technologies on wolf. i like drones and a i. thanks so much for your time today. sancho, how has the use of drones on the bustle field by both sides, russia and ukraine? how is this impacted the course of the school? and i mean, it's always difficult to tell how one weapon system in particular impacts a war. and i'm always wary to say that they are kind of come with decisive and, and decide the war. but i wouldn't have wanted to imagine ukraine's defense without these drones. basically, they are now they're at every moment of combat. they're used before an attack to record noise, to an area, to the monitoring area, to know where to attack in the 1st place. their use during an attack to guide troops to let them know where to go. they are used for attacking. so either drone or armed themselves or these guys say, or delivery or other types of weapon systems and off the words they're used to well

find that comrades, for example, or again, recognize that the area again. so they really are part of the, of the operations at any time. and at any time of the day, we have thousands of drones in the skies over your brain. and, and many of these drones being used a come to cause the drones, so they destroyed when they hit that target, who's supplying these drains? says yes indeed, that's an interesting development in this war that we are seeing way more common cause of drugs. one way drones watching munitions they've also been called then. then other systems where the focus was before and who is who was supplying them. it depends a bit on the model. so we still, even though we're now 2 years into the war, we still see a lot of civilian system. so initially, civilian system that are being modified and then used as company causes of drones and the civilian systems upfront, merrily chinese made mainly because, you know,

a chinese manufacturer has almost a monopoly world wide on solution drones. and then you have a wide range of military systems that are very often produced and ukraine. so you cry now has a very vibrant and 13 inventive drone industry and they produce them. and then they're, of course, all systems that are being supplied by the western supporters. but at this point, it really is, is a lot of yeah, initially civilian systems and, and systems made and produce and manufactured by the premiums themselves. we saw in our report that they're all ways of countering drones. now, is this technology also able to intercept more advance drones or swarms of drones? yeah, that's a very good question. so as the report right, he stated, it really has been a cat and mouse game between drugs and anti drone systems and ukraine and other things signals really is the main, the main area of focus at the moment. um,

in terms of stuff things or up the, the electronics systems jam or is that central are the best tool against, against warms because ones means that a lot of drones are attacking simile tenuously and that makes it difficult or even harder to shoot down because you know you have only so many guns and only so much and munitions. so electronics system may be the right answer for that. but you point you to a real problem, which is that, in order to jama drone, you need to know the frequency of that drug. now more advanced systems can sometimes you know, the tech, the frequency on the fly, so to speak. but nevertheless, you need to know the frequency off the drone and you may not be able to, to generate all of them. so maybe more sophisticated systems or even just other systems that you calibrate, that you maybe maybe hard to stop. so that's definitely one challenge. and the other challenge is that we now see also a push towards more autonomy and even artificially enables artificially intelligent enabled um, systems being used exactly in order to evade these electronic jamming measures.

because if you don't have an operator anymore, who needs to be linked to the drone at all time. if you just swap the link to that non existing operate operates and nothing happens. so because of these a jam or assume you, you almost see a push towards more autonomy and more a i, so again, really a cut than most game and a system that works well today may not work tomorrow. all right, well think of fun to a defense aspect of the european council on foreign relations. thank you so much for your time today, and thanks to bring us up to date. thanks for having me are. okay, we're going to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world now. and the russian court has sentenced a woman to 27 years in prison, the carrying out the terrorist attack. daria proposal was convicted over of last innocent pieces. the cafe in april last year that killed a permanent provo below the russian officials of claims that it was an

assassination ordered by keep an officer in court has ruled, but joseph sprintzel come. they moved from psychiatric detention to a regular prison. the 88 year old in prison and raped his door, assess the 24 years he was jailed for life in 2009. the court denied a request for fruitful legal team to have him released. a process by french farm is edging closer to paris. the angry of rising costs and keep in port slit on the cut, the produce, protest is have blocked highways set far as an sprayed maneuver. they say they weren't stopped until the moms on that to the wall in gauze. and now in the united nations says that at least 12 people were killed. one tank fly, here's a shelter in san eunice in the south of the gaza strip. the city has become the focus of israeli military operations. the you and facility with housing, hundreds of displaced people. now the is really all me says it was not responsible

for the strike, but that it is still investigating the incidents. thousands of people have fled south from san eunice and recent days, but many more are tracked by slicing in the city. in washington dc. the bite and administration has cool the shelling of the you and shelter. incredibly concerning . when we deplore today is a tax on the unions con unice training center. you've heard me say it before you for the secretary, say it before, but the civilians must be protected and the protected nature of the un facilities must be respected and to manage. hearing workers must be protected so that they can continue providing civilians with real life saving uh, sanitary assistance that they need. the ultimate alman delray from the world health organization told me more about what happened about you and shell to inform you. this is a very hot breaking, unfortunately, no sub use what we hear just update as you have mentioned,

and nobody bought the 75 people in georgia. i'm the one kid we have tested on, you know, attempts of something i mentioned yesterday was the standard guess i'm done on the door and we managed do not have time to sit on their requests, you know, to go them. we evacuated around $45.00 for the big one. patients do who are injured? 15 of them in practice to have severe injuries. and unfortunately one of them died on our way funeral to and other hospital them in, in real fi. as you have mentioned, you know, i talking to you on buildings in general health care facilities and specifically is in a breach to the intermission that humanitarian. the now tensions continuing to rise on the korean peninsula, amid increasingly hostile resurrect. from the north korean leader, kim john and kim last week declared his country is no longer interested in

reintegrating with the south. he instead suggested the north should rewrite this constitution and the class south korea as its main enemy. no korea appears to have torn down a huge auction. it's capital that symbolized reconciliation with south korea satellites. images analyzed on wednesday appeared to show the destruction of film young's arch, reunification images show the arch now missing along the roadway. the 2 nations have been formerly at war for over 70 years, but experts say kim statement marks a new down to and relations between the newest and the south conjunction blamed recent drills between the us and soul for the move. however, it may have more to do with the no, it's close to ties to to if it's allies, russia, and china. lots cream dictator kim jo on is no stranger to fiery rhetoric. but experts say his statement to the north green parliament could change relations

between the north and the south for years to come in to talk to you again with the i a see, i mean, we don't have any, we have our most hostile state, the republic of korea, you know, nearest neighborhood and the instability of the regional situation is sorting due to the us led escalation minutes. retentions then came further instructed his government to in trying to self as north korea's chief enemy and disbanded the government offices responsible for exchange with the south young, young and sole had been in a defacto state of war since the end of fighting in the korean conflict however, both countries had officially pursued eventual reintegration. despite their tents relations, kim's announcement said to change that the tensions have been on the rise to impart to north korea's nuclear weapons and rocket programs. and came, is made an art of using facilities like these as part of his government's propaganda. the north cleans it needs

a technology for self defense. tests like these have long been a thorn in the side of the south and it's international allies, experts, they've shown you and your has at least 30 nuclear warheads. the north resume test of new hypersonic missiles are also worrying. so what do you put in the military immediately detected the north korean missile launcher now and shared the data with the us in japan. but we condemn north korea's missile launch, as it is a provocation that seriously threatens peace and stability in the korean peninsula . give your opinion going back on providing it on the self assault closer military ties with his chief support or the united states, including frequent joint military drills, leading to a predictable, tit for tat saber rattling on both sides of korea's demilitarized zone. the north is also strengthening its ties to both china and russia and their support may be emboldening its leadership. russian defense officials recently helped kim jong and

mark the 70 if the anniversary of the end of fighting in the korean war. and north korea has emerged as an important supplier of fresh munitions 4 months ago. bolstering russia's faltering weapons industry after its invasion of ukraine. fears the conflict could escalate, are spreading in the region. japan recently held rocket evacuation drills in case the cold war between the north and the south ever becomes hot. i don't use asian pacific bureau chief scale mathis is in. so he all south koreans how they feel about these tensions and the hoops. the reunification if you want to get a feel for the state of the frozen conflict between south and north korea now is probably a good time. south korea is in the midst of a cold snap, with temperatures dropping to minus 20 degrees celsius. and that very much reflects the chilly relationship between the north and the south people here in the south,

we're never really overly fond of the idea of reunification because they fear the financial consequences. that is what especially young people here in sold tell me or the for, for your young people in or the for see we have very different cultures divided for 2 years. i guess many young people will be interested in but for the north, giving up on reunification is a big deal. really vacation for the south had always been a central part of the north. so audiology, since the staples found it. does this mean that the north is actually preparing for war experts here disagree on this course? north korea is due to re open to foreign taurus specs, bonds,

and also have sold its own reference to rush off for the war. otherwise move when preparing for the battle. the most likely scenario is that kim, yeoman's behavior is aimed at strengthening his own origin. south korea is more useful as an enemy with reports that people in the north like food in this cold weather. a we're, however, would be a mess of john bull for the north, which has nothing to gain people here tell me and everything to lose such as palm space agency says that it's precision. luna alonda reached the tiny patch of the moon that it was aiming full and sent back pictures to prove it. the agency has released images that show the pro just 55 meters away from its target points. the successful touchstone makes trip on the 5th country to complete the soft lunar landing. the rocky surface of earth closest celestial body. these pictures of the moon sent back to earth by japan's nicknamed sniper craft. the country space

agency confirmed the module made a pinpoint landing, touching down with an meters of it's intended destination. they say good control, soft landing was successful. so must, we have confirmed that the landing site was 55 meters away from the talk. you call utah. that fall, we feel that the landing point was obtained point landing with an axe. you were say, within a 100 meters, to the cycle. stop you when you come back. so you must. the successful touchstone comes is a huge relief for space agency staff following the engine problems that could have knocked it off course. the craft seen here in a promotional animation will now be switched off to preserve power, but it's hope to could be rebooted as early as next week after it as recharged using solar energy. this is a quick reminder about top story for you. russian state media says 2 black boxes from the military plane crash have been found. the kremlin says ukrainian forces shut down the croft and southern russia, killing everyone on board,

including $65.00 ukrainian prisoners of keith is accusing. moscow is playing with ukrainian lives and has demanded an international investigation and that is the only use round up coming up next focus on europe and how it, the very in town says it needs more refugees. the crown so that he kept the

refugees welcome. one german vintage takes in 5 times as many people as the official quote to require. how is that possible? many residents as to this to a few days in funding language courses and jobs. we had come any one of these volunteers and is f as to help focus on your next on d w. who need them?

paul is. transylvania has so much more to offer. and just following the beautiful, the funny you symmetry in the world. transylvania. the house of romania in 45 minutes on d w. the faithful encounter. in the late 19 seventy's former concentration comes in my general most meisner. i met the man who had to maintain him. go stop bogged, known as the beast of sophie bore. shame on you tell the truth. 2 years later, wagner was dead and investigation concluded that it was suicide. a fine give rise

that you don't really have to go see the january 27th on the the to hello and welcome to focus on europe with me live show in germany reports about a secret meeting of right wing extremists planning to the port to people with foreign background is causing massive waves and cities live cologne, munich, collide, fish, and berlin. hundreds of thousands are demonstrating, sending a clear message against racism and hatred, spread by right wing extremists and populace. the silent majority is raising its.
