. i'm david love, it's welcome to the program. british prime minister cure stormer and us president joe biden health talks in washington on whether to allow ukraine to fire british made long range missiles into russia. u k. had signaled that it wants to let ukraine use its storm a shadow missiles, which use us technology. but it apparently once permission from its main ally to us, here's what they said at the start. i'm going to go see ations. i want to thank you for, for the leadership in those 5 stages. sadie, when you helped him create as a defense against rushes on for the russian clear for making for prevailing as for the people in the crate this really great. uh is that special relationship? half this time to talk about the she's, you have just started to fight,

start in crossway to the crime where i think the next few weeks of months fee crucial, very for. and we for to train in this fight for freedom. well from we're now let's go to dw special correspondent abraham and washington dc. a. uh, how likely is it looking that the us will agree with britain to letting ukraine use these long range missiles to hit russia? it's difficult to tell, but the final decision is going to be and we have heard from white house officials that no, it's unlikely that there will be an official announcement made today. but we know for sure is that it is very important for the united kingdom to have a coordinated response between the western allies who have been um, supporting ukraine and that. and as you mentioned, the top of, of the segment,

no big these long range missiles that are in question, while they are british they were, they have american parts. and so the united states would have to agree if they were to be deployed in a different way in the war. but it's difficult to really tell which side of this decision will eventually land on the bottom in person has also been paying attention. she warned against the west supplying long range missiles to ukraine. she even suggested that russia might expand the war and hit nato target if they do . how serious is that threat? and it's important to remember that similar threats are not new coming from the russian president. and certainly if we consider the rhetoric within the russian propagandist space, we've heard variations of this before. every time there's sort of an impending or a sort of a decision by western allies to help ukraine in a different way, or in

a way that might be perceived as strengthening it more then, you know, support the doors had been supplying up until that point with that being said, it's difficult to really tell if this is a bluff, or there might be anything a behind it. and remember, direct conflict with nato countries may not be the only way that russia could respond to something like this. they could start sort of wreaking havoc and other parts of the world getting in the way of, uh, western interest, for example, one could imagine that they may start supplying the hoot these with a weapons. for example, no, this is all just speculation. but, um, you know, a direct conflict with a country that is a member of nato, which would be a major escalation, may not be the only way that putting would respond. should this decision come to pass and should a, you know, western allies now decided that western weapons would be allowed to strike targets

within russian territory deep within russian territory. because so far, western weapons have been use but sort of at cross border fighting but not deeper into russian territory. that's, that's what the, what, that's what the decision described decision would be about. and then coming up ahead of this meeting a bite and was asked about these threats and fruits. and she said, i don't think much about vladimir putin do you think that that's true, or is he just bluffing? again, very difficult to really go inside the thought process of the us president. but of course he has to project a strength in the face of, of, of such a, such a leader who has, you know, defied the united states and its allies multiple,

multiple times. and is actively working against it's a, it's, it's interest. but of course, i mean, the fact that the u. k prime minister is here and that these deliberations are going on. and that when there are similar decisions coming up, you know, western always have to deliberate against each, sorry, with each other. that tells me that there's of course, a lot of risks that have to be weighed before that final decision is made. but again, it's very difficult to know exactly what the president sitting in the why has, how white house might be thinking right now. to w special correspondent. yeah, you were him and washington. thank you. well, the russian military is launched a counter attack against ukrainian forces in the russian region, of course, early last month keep ordered. it's trips to enter course in an attempt to draw russian forces away from the front lines in eastern ukraine. now russia says it has re taps are, and several villages from ukrainian forces, but ukrainian presidents,

the landscape disputes that claim collection forces on the offensive in cost must go claims to have recaps of several settlements in the region. the ukrainian president, the manager lensky, said that despite depression gains, which things are getting according to planned, which should the luck horse. that's what the curse corporation did. maybe some unexpected different results. they gave the results that frankly, we expected to use the enemy has been stopped in the harkey region in his progress . and the next region is in slowed down hot for the it's very difficult. there would be many, the situation there is still far from positive open nevertheless, the level they've withdrawn their forces in other areas when they separate all this, we ceiling. most good. it says it's pushing ahead with its counter offensive. its

forces claim to have destroyed several pieces of military equipment, but some ukraine, as well as some nato countries. remember, the armed forces of the russian federation have carried out the $39.00 group strikes with precision guided weapons and striked round. as a result, the following has been hit, oil and energy installations use for the ukrainian defense industry, air bases, infrastructure, missile, and ammunition manufacturing sites, both sides and claiming that respective successes in cost. however, the situation on the ground remains fluid. military analyst marino mirror own from the war studies department of kings college london, told us more about russia's counter attack and course so it seems like the russian forces are trying and to attack, so ukrainian western fling. and so they're moving from the direction of core and of

a towards sort shots. however, it's too early to tell whether or is this counter offensive is going to be successful. it just started. but apparently, the russian side is obviously, is saying that the russian forces are being successful in that ukrainians side is saying exactly the opposite and stating that the green forces will be able to hold that territory right now. there is no clarity in terms of how successful it will be and where is will lead us a quick look. now, at some other headlines from around the world, the kremlin is expelling 6 british diplomats and accuses of spying and sabotage. russia says it detected what it described as intelligence gathering and subversive activities. britton's for an office says the accusations are completely based. central european countries are bracing for severe flooding and the coming days,

the biggest a rainfall is expected in the czech republic, firefighters are building flood walls and stacking sand bags. residents have been warrants to get ready for possible evacuations. heavy rains are also expected at colin's austria, germany in slovakia and hungry police. in bolivia have seized 11000 turtle eggs that were found in the back of a car close to the northeastern city of trinidad. a woman has been arrested and accused of animal traffic. olivia in fresh water turtles are considered one of the most hunted spaces in the amazon. their meat and eggs are highly coveted by some and seen as a delicacy some 30000 boeing factory workers have gone on strike and the united states. and another upset for the in battle. aerospace and giant. nearly all union members approved the walk out. after rejecting management's

offer of a 25 percent pay rise, it's the latest set back for the aircraft may occur after a panel blew out of $1.00 of its plants, mid flights and trouble with one of its spacecraft, left astronaut stranded and orbits. from wireless, dr. richard levee, an aviation consultant base in dallas, also a former military and commercial pilot. thanks for joining us. so hi, babe. good evening. richard. how bad is the strike going to be for boeing in terms of production and in terms of finances? david protection production of the 737, the boeing sam, $67.00, the boeing triple 7. who's showdown tremendously, there are some aircraft they've already been produced. that will probably be deliver to airlines. but those aircraft will be so the production of those will slow down considerably how it is going to affect your boeing airfare company. they

have high debt, right now. their expenses are going to increase tremendously without the revenue coming from purchase of airplanes. although most of them have been purchased well in advance. so normally a strike like this for the last months, i see it last the only weeks. both sides need to come to an agreement, which i believe they will and they'll get back to work with the pay raise that will be satisfactory to the union. now this is just one of several crises to hit boeing . do you see boeing recovering its reputation at this point? i mean, what would that take the reputation of boeing as far as i'm or turn airline pilot 4 major airline or work at another airline. boeing's reputation is heard a little bit from the alaska event, which you already talked about, but as far as their ability produce strong. so i'd say for airplanes that hasn't changed one bit. this is

a labor dispute. it's not gonna affect the quality of the airplanes, in my opinion whatsoever. and the, the alaska events will be clear that was the door being blown off, made to flight. let's talk about boeing's competitor air bus. how do you see them possibly taking advantage of these multi multiple crises? well, the crisis i have been going on for a while at boeing. however, air bus has some issues with their a to 20. they're not able to deliver, as many say would like to to delta airlines and united states and jet blue. kathy, pacific 5, see a 351 south and long range. your point, 5 airplane is had few weeks. so our air buses producing as much as they can, they've had their own issues. this job actually are the striking, boeing is a physical ass in my prediction, 2 to 3 weeks. both sides want to come to a conclusion. they need to do that for the survival ability of boeing. so air bus

is scott, kind of just jump, instruct, produce, and stuff is airplanes. they're producing as much as they can right now before, during and after this phone strike evolution consulting, the richard levy with a fairly positive rating for a po and even even despite these crises, thank you. thank you, david. as well from hot to cold and little in between. just last week, austria and switzerland were basking in 30 degrees celsius late summer sheet. but now winter has pushed autumn aside in austria's syria region. the surprised snowfall has caused traffic disruptions with authorities warning of slippery roads and snow chains being made compulsory and some areas of white blankets is also covered. mountains and the south western swiss alps making this the 1st snow of the season. while you're all up to date, but keep it here on d. w. after
