the, the dw news live it from berlin, neighbor, raj of russian missiles, reins down on ukraine in the deadliest attack. they are in months, one hitting a children's cancer hospital in the capitol cave, ukrainian president zalinski valley retaliation. he is called for a meeting of the un security council. also coming up to night, hungary as prime minister, victor or bon has traveled to china saying he's on a piece mission about the war in ukraine. is he speaking for europe? brussels says, or bond speaks only for himself. the

library golf is good to have you. with this, russia has launched a major daytime ear result in ukraine official saying that the attack killed at least 31 people. an injured more than a 150 a large children's hospital and keep what struck today. the moment was caught on camera. emergency crews have been searching through the rubble for victims at the hospital . a 2 story wink of the facility has partially collapsed and the building is being evacuated after losing water, oxygen and electricity president zalinski said more than 40 missiles targeted 5 ukrainian cities. today, the garage struck apartment buildings as well as public infrastructure and ukraine . military says it intercepted 30 missiles with this is to the attack, said that they're still coming to terms with what they sold today. the i never

thought such a thing could happen. that there could be an attack on a hospital with sick children. it's difficult to describe in words. the people of my wife came here just as it all started. pretty much my son began crying, so if she didn't go inside the hospital instead she ran to the bomb shelter on the buick. then there was an explosion. gotta cause a minute to screw up, our car was destroyed, but we're all ok. so in a box there wasn't even enough time for the baby to get scared out. you see what's happening here have been like, no words can describe what feelings, what matters most is that we're alive with them. never mind, the car will buy you one similar to everything will be okay. everything will be okay. said with that though, but of course by an economy he is in keep near the damaged children's hospital nic talk. it's through what you've seen and, and what's going on there for brent, it's basically being half

a day since these attacks and behind me they are still trying to drill through the concrete, through the rules of this unit that has collapsed fine. is role that attack, trying to catch people who are believe, to feel, be that have been sheltering in a cell or potentially underneath this building. so far, no voices, no contact with the people who is missing. but this, what is going on could still go deep into the night and into tomorrow. this is of a site. this is ukraine central. so there's also for all the most difficult cases in the case. so to find me on the right day, you might see some of the emergency services, cruise words, exhausted. it is incredibly some of the day here. people are working out in the san for our generation fumes everywhere, but it has no power. and to give you a sense of what, how big sofa was just on the other side here, i have a much bigger building that was less impacted, but well, the windows flew out and you have a few people from the,

for me to have turned off to basically try and solve is what can be solve is holding medical equipment, throw out that every somehow do something constructive on a day. that seems just frankly, unbelievable in a place here in central care where people for the, for the sound that would be great. and what's on there besides nick, there's been reaction from russia, russia saying that this damage was caused not by a russian missile, but instead saying that there was an error or a mistake by ukrainian air defense that caused this well, we've seen those videos on social media that seem to show that christmas all he thinks this area, but also, you know, whatever, turns out to be the case with those videos. this is a normal northside time time. and again, always addresses. i have hit submit and target receive the rest of the site as bouncing off of several different mutually exclusive versions to try and make it more difficult for people to work out. what exactly is happened to try and

basically put people on the fence and hope that people will give up, trying to work out what happens in the big opposed to the russian defense minister put out on telegraph on it today. normally they say that this was a ukraine. yeah, defense missile. they also said that this was done basically on purpose by the ukraine, inside the head of the nato summit in washington, tomorrow. i had the most important notations basically as of verification for the print inside to try and get sympathy results from western countries. that is a long coming out of most coats. and it is not very surprising. these are images that are very damaging for the company especially, but i think even within russia, so say i was going to come up with all the different versions. i would be surprised . we had more in sort of eating ukraine today, so that it intercepted 30 missiles in this latest attack. obviously, it wasn't able to intercept every bit. so what does this tell us then about the, the state of ukraine's air defenses? look, i think the fact that russia is now having to reduce the frequency dfacs and then send in ballistic cruise missiles and drugs the same time to try and overwhelm you

. create the defenses, tells you something about quite how fall this country is coming. point how effective these western systems, basically the patriot missile, defense systems have proven face the rest. i'm to throw everything in half, i'm spend weeks building up still false, then try and overwhelm the defensive box. you know, one very important take with today's ukraine is able to shoot down most of these results. not all of them for the time to do so over its big cities, it simply doesn't have enough miss all systems. so basically place them somewhere else because the side outside here and shoot down these missiles over a field where someone is open again when this pulls the ground, that is the duration that you print in ministry. simone is an outpacing. i don't know if they have to let me solve my boss and they could sell because they simply don't have enough stokes, of the munitions to the able to have the luxury searching and everything like this . eventually get there. cuz you know, we have talked countless times about the latest in this for many times we're

talking about areas in eastern new crate. i'm thinking of har, keith, and many times you've been there and ukraine, ukraine has are in chief rather keep the capital has been seen by many is maybe one of the safe spots in this war. this children's hospital shows us. that's certainly not, not the case. talk to me about the psychological impact of today's attack on the people in the city right there where you are when you walk around the side, you see those people just unable ready to speak, bearing off for the destruction starting out at the broken windows and all the broken glass and the concrete lying around here you go. lots of people turning up look a residence without any particular skills. desperate to be able to do something to help people even kind of looking over the flower beds, just stuff for definitely that feels constructive. and i think there is a lot of shock, certainly, and stick a strong like people who left maybe the beginning of the war and have come back in the last year to what here for those early days i often those people are most unable to deal with one person's emotions,

these are the most people saying that they might be considering leaving again because they simply don't believe there is anyone, even downtown you have any way for them. see even rest, say we're certainly good that you're say tonight's the w's, they kind of leave with the latest. tonight's an attack missile hitting it. children's cancer hospital there in ki nick, thank you. well we're brussels corresponded dexterity is more detail on how europe european union is reacting to these attacks. so we haven't had any formal statements and the european union yet, but we did hear from the a tally and foreign minister antonio ty on it. he took to his twitter cool visa tags, a war crime and said that is easily stands on the side of ukraine and continues to support his rights of defense. i think you know, these images of the board that we've seen for a long time now. continuing to put pressure on these refreshed ones because obviously it's on the children's hospital, which seems, you know,

really difficult for european partners to swallow when they're watching and trying to support you. creating the question is, will they step up with the defense systems that are being demanded by the ukrainians? it's known that the, the 2 patriot systems are in possession of, of the ukrainians ones in a to print from the united states. one joint be from the germans and the ducks together. there's also a palm that's being led by the netherlands to try and cobble together from different sort of parts. another patriot system to try and prevent these kind of advertise from happening on ukraine. volt him is the landscape himself. the ukranian president has said that they probably need 7 patriot systems in total if they are going to fully be able to protect themselves. and as we are hearing from mig at that there's also discussions about how other security systems can work. like the idea that poland would also cover some of the space in, in, in ukraine. that was jack there, the reporting from brussels, hungary as prime minister picked doorbell in his bag. a surprise visit to china is

doing that following surprised stops in ukraine and russia. he says that he's on a ukraine piece mission. now. last week is country hungary take over the 6 month rotating presidency of the european union. but any officials have been quick to insist that oregon he has no mandate to speak for europe. he says that he's heading to washington next term for 40. yeah. what's the reason the following is the director of the center for russia, europe, asia, studies that they brussels based global affairs think tank. she joins me now. it's good to have you with this, victor or bon, he's a traveling man and he was in moscow. and now he's in beijing. what do you make of his quote unquote his mission? well, he's a peripatetic president of the e rotating council. he has gotten on everyone's toes. i, i, that's the person coming from here in brussels. he took over the council,

rotating presidency as of july 1st. so he's only been in the position for one week . and as you noted, he's gone to 3 capitals. in addition, he's also attend to the turkey language conference, which is also against you stated interest. so he's really rattling the cage in many areas. there was the last, he's using this language of a piece mission. and we've seen this use before. is it i call it piece washing button? what is it hard of it? i mean, china is bigger picture is to kind of weekend transatlantic relations and to divide europe or to sort of witches in europe. the hungry has long been a partner of china. we saw the recent visit if she can ping 2 pairs of to hungry and also to serve you. but now we can understand that they have this kind of coordinated in order to which she can ping and or button. so manage to put this all together, threes, and so you think that's, that's what or bond is up to here. he's trying to help china and russia. we can the

ties that bind the west again as well. it's interesting because he's long had a pro russell pro china policy. he's been able to block many the policies, or we can them that are in their interests. and as we know that he's also been effective in trying to block funding for ukraine. so he did notify. nato just gave them a heads up to tell them that that's what he was doing, but he did not notify any leaders. and he actually brag the other toes on a, in, during the interview on the plane that he managed to hire to all of this, that he was doing the secretly. so i think, but he has been a patient studer of china. and china has tried to, uh, uh, to 16 plus one was a sub regional grouping between 11. you remember states and 5 possible accession states and the most productive relationship was with hungary. so i think that

hungry is being rewarded with more and more investments. we know that while he was in beijing or by inside several agreements. so he's also getting economic benefits from doing this for me. he, even the russian. let me just ask, let me just, let's pick out of the box here for a moment. could victor or bon could p b, perhaps a message delivery man in back channel can communications between the west in russia and showing that, i mean, is it possible that he's actually bringing a message that was sent by the us or, or some country you were in your as well, i would love to give them the benefit of the doubt because the risk for the 2 played at the beginning of your program, of the bombing of a children's hospital in cuba is heartbreaking. everyone wants to see the end of this war, but even the russian press that there's no, we don't see what the outcome is of, of his meeting with clinton. but at least you know, it's being framed both by moscow and by being that he represents the you and of

course we know he does not. he has that you rotating counsel presidency, but they're trying to brand it as a division a break. so is he a useful it is? i don't think so. i think it's a very smart man. he's very articulate. he can be very persuasive in his public talks, but i think that he is helping both russia and china, whose goal is to change the international border. he is helping them and i would call them a useful handmade and. and if it can get the nobel peace prize for bringing peace to or a to, to ukraine all the more power to him. but i don't see that happening. i would love to and let's try to be optimistic. right. i think that there is another agenda taking place here. well, we'll see what happens. what happens to somebody then? all of their amazing lead time doesn't. yeah, it's funny, a potential future nobel peace laurie, and we will see theresa fallon, director of the center for rush in europe asia studies. we appreciate your valuable insights tonight to me,

so thank you. thank you. if you're watching the w news, i will be back in some of the hour with more of old news. i hope to see you there. the january 2021. the attack on the united states capital, thousands of people took pods and among them some of these manipulative voices. our former high ranking military leaders wanted us veterans 10 the backs on democracy. and what does this mean for the upcoming election? the enemy within starts to lie 12 on the w.
