and the make up your own mind the, the, this is the w news live from the land. russian strikes destroyed homes across ukraine. several reports is killed in the southern cities of jeffery and the clients of this comes a day off to russia and ukraine bombard each other with the largest wave of drones since the war began. we'll say coming up on the program, the taliban and the 10, the u. n. c global climate summit. so the 1st time since they return to power and that's got us down 3 years ago. it's a scandal to some that all those say it is the only reasonable approach to confront stotts today. and as i advise you on the

money to this, mckinnon, welcome to the program. since people have been killed, more than 20 injured in russian era tax and southern ukraine. now this comes a day. i'm supposed to crenan russia, launched record waves of dread and tax against each of the 5 people died in the south. central city of nikolai, as in the early hours of, to the attack, struck a residential area, damaging apartments and causing fire as another person was killed in a shop for risha and ukraine's se. ukraine issued an air ride warning for the entire country and cut power supplies up to the 4th one that russians almost had taken off from the basis. ukrainian officials do say the attack wave is now of the or earlier i also military x. but marina muran, what she made of these latest developments, right?

we have to put it into context because if we recall in october of 22, when general survey can do command off the russian forces and ukraine, these air attacks have commenced. and so i'm gonna drag the intervals and now that when the 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 went, for instance operation, that's where the russians will probably be developing their miller 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 as these attacks follow, the reported cool between donald trump and losing their put in uh,

which should have taken place last week. according to these reports, um the premium site is saying basically is that is this is a rushes response to donald trump. in other words, donald trump has more pulled down, put in quite the opposite. russia is showing that it is going to continue the course and accelerate its advancements in the dumbass. mm hm. well, we'll come back to the american relax election and donald trump victory in 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 are you expecting a major russian push to retake the territory that ukrainians currently hold? it is very possible. um, according to a boards, there are some 50000 soldiers,

including so you must agree and contingent them if we look at the course creature and then look at the past 23 weeks. we have seen that the russians have launched a series of offense, so it was on the ukrainian flags, specifically at the north. and therefore, i think that we are to expect you have an awesome wave of offensive operations by, as a russian forces in order to get the great new 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 of nice

thing. that's what we were seeing was a drone attack on russia. we're key of launch is 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. moscow has denied reports to us president elect donald trump spoke to russian president vladimir putin. last week of his comes off to the washington post news paper reported that a phone call had taken place between the 2 men on thursday in which trump allegedly told person to avoid escalating. the complex kremlin spokesman described the news as pure fiction. he added, but the note, yes, any concrete plans for contact with trump? of. all right, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. and the british prime minister kissed alma, has joined french president emanuel mccall at an honest

a ceremony in paris to mark the $106.00 on of the 3 of the end of the world. one. he's the 1st british leader to attend the event. and he is off to the ceremony. the to lead is all due to discuss a range of topics including ukraine, the middle east. unlike ration the prime minister of the eastern african island of nourishes province, jeff note has conceded defeat the following sundays parliamentary election. final results have not yet been released, but the opposition lead and i've been rum google um, appears on costs of x ray. this follows, he says a political campaign in russia's which is known for its thriving financial and tourism sexes. japanese will make, has a voted full prime minister sugar, a sheba to stay on his lida if he buckled the snap pole last month after his scandal. plague governing coalition stuff of the west election lost in more than a decade. he must now run a federal minority government leaders amazing and as

a by jones capital back, who, where the you in climate change summit known as corporate 29 is now on the way. now, a delegation from afghanistan is expected to attend the conference for the 1st time since the telephone took pilot in 2021. the se, across that government is notes internationally recognized, and their representatives out the climate summit are expected to be limited to 2 of the spaces delegates from nearly $200.00 countries. amazing for the climate talks over the next 2 weeks with a goal of lemme sing global warming to 1.5 degrees. i spoke earlier to graham smith, he's a senior consultant, so crisis groups, asia program focusing on afghanistan. and he explained to me why the taliban should be welcomed you and climate change conference despite the dismal human rights record. it's very important for the human rights of us can girls

and women that the taliban go to cop 29 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 . uh, 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 quite an adaptation. and getting the taliban to this conference is a good 1st step. mm hm. i mean, you've made very clear uh,

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. and 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 employment towards give them their stream? the oppressive policies you know i, i think it's an ethical imperative to bring all countries including the telephone regime into these talks. because we have to do something to help the most impoverished off guns and especially women and girls to survive 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 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 the nose, that'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 courses 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 afghanistan, you know, i think the 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 is invited where 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, most of multilateralism. you talked about the effects of climate change on afghanistan earlier. 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. they have always positioned themselves as an environmental stewards, which is 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, thank you so much for your time today. we appreciate it. thank you. a change of pace now tells this for a challenge because 2 germans obsessed a new record for the highest slack line attempt. take a look at these pictures, sweetie, tuna, and who, cuz i'm not perform the daring feet at a stunning height of 2500 meters crossing on
