why does your journey get inside the the, this is the w news live from violin. air raid siren sound across ukraine. following over nights, russian strikes several reports of killed in southern ukraine. now this comes a day, often moscow on keep from bought each other with the largest wave of throat and since the war began, and we will find out what it all means from omelet tree ex. best also coming up on the show, the taliban attend the un global climate summit for the 1st time since labor tons to pilot and afghanistan, 3 years ago. it's a scandal to some the other say it's the only reasonable approach to confront stultz today. and as a by john and with donald trump heading back to the white house, asia, braces for

a 2nd round of his america 1st policies for china. that couldn't mean a trade war. and pacific allies are left wondering where they stand, the i'm on you campus mckinnon. thank so much for joining us. 6 people have been killed and more than 20 injured in russian era tax and southern ukraine. now this comes a day off to both ukraine and russia launched record ways of drone attacks. against each of the 5 people died in the south. central city of nikolai, as in the early hours of the attacks, struck a residential area damaged apartments and caused files. another person was killed in jeffery, in the se, if you crank and you credit issued an air raid warning for the entire country and

caught power supplies off to the 4th one. the russian bowman's had taken off from the basis you printing and officials say the attack wave is now event. earlier i also military x, but marina moran, what she made of these latest developments, yesterday's huge drone attacks, and then today's massive airline across the train. well, we have to put it into context because if we recall in october of 22, when general through beacon to command off the russian forces in ukraine, these air attacks have commenced. and so i'm a traveler interval. so now that when you ring, when for, of course, um, the russians will be very interested in destroying the critical infrastructure, ukrainian critical infrastructure as well as potential military targets. besides, if we'll look at the locations of where the tax, when, for instance, operation,

that's where the russians will probably be developing their mellow trip to reduce after having taken both of the dar. therefore it's a logical continuation of their military strategy. so to say, of course, while some reports claim that these attacks follow are reported cool between donald trump and letting their put in, which should have taken place last week. according to these reports, um the premium site is saying basically said this is a rushes response to donald trump. in other words, donald trump has more pulling down, put in quite the opposite. russia is showing that it is going to continue so course and accelerate. it's advancements in the dumbass. mm hm. what we'll come back to the american relax election and donald trump victory and just

a moment. but i just want to ask you the voices, news agency, closing a top ukrainian come on the saying that russia had amassed tens of thousands of soldiers in the coolest regions. so all you expect seeing a major russian push to retake the territory that ukrainians currently hold as it is very possible. um, according to rewards, there are some $50000.00 soldiers including the most korean contingent. then if we look at the chorus creature and look at the past 23 weeks, we have seen that the russians have launched a series off of san serves on the ukrainian flanks, specifically at the north. and therefore, i think that we are to expect yet. and as a wave of offensive operations by the russian forces in order to get the ukrainian forces out, but whether it will actually materialize remains to be seen. it's quite

a difficult situation and it's not clear right now how that will play out. that being said, that you creating and forces are also in difficulty in course because of their logistics. so the russians might very well go for the supply lines in order to accommodate you, creating forces off and surround them. marina, you mentioned the election of donald trump earlier, he will of course, be the next us president starting in january, but i'm just come back to what you were saying earlier. is this already influencing? keeps on most goes actions at this point as well. at least in the media space, what we're seeing in ukraine. of course, the ukranian side is not very keen on donald trump's victory because it comes with a lot of unknowns and a possible favorable position by donald trump towards russia. nothing is certain yet, but with keith on the stands as the possibilities that the military aid might be

cut off and that you will be forced into some sort of a negotiated settlements with the russians in which it will have to cede territories and probably abandoned all hope of nato membership and therefore now it is up to key if to demonstrate it's military capability. and i think that's what we were seeing was a drone attack on russia. we're key of launch the, the largest drone attack since the start of the war. metal tracks that marina marina. thank so much for your insights, as always. thank you for having me now to other aspects of the full out from donald trump victory and last week's presidential election. because this is expected to have a dramatic impact on us foreign policy, not least towards us, towards east asia,

president elect trump has threatened to trade with china, and is allowing a return to his america's us foreign policy that some allies worry, could leave them to send for themselves, so here's a look at what trumps return to the white house could mean for tensions in that region. or another tons of donald trump and governments across the in the pacific expects him to take an america 1st approach to the reach. then now contradicting how it responds to jew eclipse contentions of shopping since his last time and office suite competing, showing the threats to tie one maritime disputes in the south china sea under rest . if north korea trump could to mind us partners pay more for their own defense as we'll talk, receives to closer together. and i think that's one thing to watch whether or not, and how trump gubbins drives us allies in age of 10 sales. where in the world to take more responsibility for the security which, you know, both might be

a good thing in some sense. this book was as a potential, it's kind of escalate the arms race that we've seen and aids in the last few decades, largely driven by china, but not exclusively. trump is also likely to double down on economic competition with badging extractions to impose terrace of up to 60 percent on us imports from china. although many asian nations count the us is that she's security guarantor, aging is for many the biggest economic partners. but that's going to inject a lot of economic uncertainty for the region, particularly for a region like asia that is incredibly dependent on trade. and kind of this though, is workings of supply chains. overall, let's say china could capitalize on trump's ton inwards and the vacuum he could be imagined. ready to ship. but i think, yeah, that does erode this idea of what kind of us that existed in the us that well, but the u. k. and i'll be your p and powers, maybe japan, korea, australia,

you seem to be part of an offering kind of the best solutions to the well, i think china will selectively look for certain areas where he can offer a better solution. and we'll just make the case, i think, by the end sometimes more loudly that you have to show you. there isn't only one way of doing things as the, as the trunk, the 2nd time, as a common refrain. that'd be unpredictable thing is that it will be unpredictable that will lead is amazing. and as a by zones capital buck, who was the you in climate change summit which is known as cop 29, is now underway. delegation from afghanistan is that when that expected to attend the conference for the 1st time since the taliban took pilot in 2021, the telephone's government is notes internationally recognized. um, the representatives of the climate summit are expected to be limited to observe of stasis delegates from any 200 countries are missing for the climate talks for the

next 2 weeks, with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees aspect to graham smith the, he's a senior consultant for crisis groups. agent program. focusing on afghanistan, he explained to me why the taliban should be welcomed to the un climate change conference despite the dismal human rights record to. it's very important for the human rights of scan girls and women. that the taliban go to cop $29.00 and the dentist and start to regain access to climate financing so that the world can get involved again in helping the country to adapt to the terrible effects of climate change. it's getting harder and harder to be a farmer, enough dentist and drugs and floods are worsening. and agriculture is the biggest employer of women outside of their homes. and the terrible effects of the country

drawing up for the most heavily unlimited girls. tens of thousands have been displaced just this year because of the extreme weather. when you go into talk to the doctors who deal with malnutrition, you know, as the little girls who are dying the most and those feeding centers. so you don't really, you know, the most vulnerable people in the country desperately need help with client attention and getting the taliban to this conference is a good 1st step. mm hm. i mean, you've made very clear the effect on the individuals, especially women and goals, but just to come back to the point, the united nation, special reputable, and human rights space. it just a few days ago that the human rights situation in afghanistan continues to get was . so again, is it really ethical to involve the taliban and climate talks give them their stream, the oppressive policies you know i, i think it's an ethical imperative to bring all countries including the television

regime, into these talks because we have to do something to help the most impoverished off guns and especially women girls to survives the worsening climate. and to say otherwise i think is to propose a sort of political theory that shutting the taliban out of conferences like this will make them change their minds about their draconian policies towards limiting the rights of women and girls. that just somehow the religious leaders in kandahar would say, oh, we have been invited to this conference and so therefore we will change our minds about our social restrictions. i think it's absurd and i think anyone who studies the tell that knows that it's absurd. that's why you're seeing a workers on the ground begging for access to these kinds of a climate financing mechanism. so that work can resume on water infrastructure and some of these basic needs of atkins. if there is this outreach to the taliban, they are included in talks like this. the question of course is, is kind of on trust any promises the tell them on make in this instance on climates

given the lack of transparency um, you know, in, in i've gotten strong you know, i think a lack of trust is one of the hallmarks of the international system. now, when you're talking about countries with dubious human rights records, you know, coming to the summit, i say china is invited. the united states has invited. we're coming into a world now where we're. multilateralism is under a lot of pressure. and so i think there is a necessity to have some things like climate change, supercede, other agendas, and be part of the sort of basic operating system of, of multilateralism. you talked about the effects of climate change on afghanistan. can you just tell us a little bit more about the effects on afghanistan and whether the taliban has made any moves at all to tackle any of these issues? yeah, the children have actually been spending some of their major budgets on large scale

water infrastructure and moving ahead in a sort of surprising way. they don't deny the climate science. um they have always positioned themselves as an environmental steward. so there's a sort of surprising and so i think there is a possibility of, of working with them on these things. and yeah, my colleagues at crisis group on our data team has modeled the drug flood cycles that are getting worse and worse and sharper and sharper with every passing year. so it is, it is rather alarming when you start to look at some of the graphs and i think that is why there was an effort last year to get the taliban to the u. a. e for cop 28. didn't quite work out this year cop $29.00 was a close run thing. i think they are relegated to observer status, as you noticed. and even, you know how the degree to which they can participate on the sidelines might be circumscribed, but bit by bit they are going to have to be drawn into these discussions because it is a truly universal problem. crime smith from the crisis groups agent program. graham,
