9:01 pm
hybrid goes to our viewers watching on p b. as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome. there has been more reaction from all scale over us. president biden's decision to allow ukraine to hit targets deep inside russia. the foreign ministry in moscow balances ukraine using long range missiles would mark a radical escalation of the conflict. a direct confrontation between russia and nato. the bite and white house has maintained a strict policy of limiting the strength distance of missiles and supplies to keep . that policy has now changed to the new treading and the aftermath of a rushing every low tech lights on sunday. several people were killed and dozens of others injured after a missile strike on a residential building. fighting for the misery on ukrainians after almost 3 years
9:02 pm
of war. but it missed and nothing nights of fear and destruction that came out of high for ukraine from the us. presidents on the joe biden says, key can now start using these us applied longer range missiles to strike targets. but the when russia seen head being used in south korea attack could have a range of around 300 kilometers the credit and presidency. use them as key to ukraine's fight back against russia and has been months, been urging, shaped bite, and to lift a band on using the weapons to help and the conflict along pursuing the plan to strengthen ukraine is a victory plan. i presented it to our partners here. one of its main points is to equip our army with long range capabilities. today, there was a great deal of discussion in the media about us receiving permission for these
9:03 pm
actions. but strikes are not made with words. these matters are not announced that the missiles will speak for themselves, simon said, but scoffing. while the white house is also yeah, to officially consider the details. the weapons may be used quickly. davis phones to the deployment of thousands of north korean troops to bushes coast region. an area where you crate some of the tree continues to launch aerial drone attacks. as most go tries to retake territory and last following ukraine some of incursion. it is right here by the us decision making headlines in russia with the credit and warning that allowing ukraine to use us made weapons to strike far into the russian territory, would lead to a rise intentions. well, some of the little makers have gone even further with one of them may be able to tell the reuters news agency biden's administration is trying to escalate the situation to the maximum. they asked seriously risking the stats of world war 3,
9:04 pm
which is notes in anybody's interest. but then ukraine, as the country passed demonica 1000 days, the pool is late to show if you estimate that you support will be welcome to providing a timely base that had of another pretty quinta, as russia realm. so fits this thoughts? well, the weapon system in question here is the army tactical missile system, also known as attack ins. here's more now on what it's capable of and what ukraine might use it for these are attack comes us supplied missile systems fired from mobile launchers. the high tech attack comes use precise guidance components to hit targets. artillery can't reach the by the administration. decision. opens up a range of targets that ukraine has long been asking permission to hit. attack comes construct as far as 300 kilometers into russia. that puts important targets
9:05 pm
into range, including the annex peninsula of crimea, which ukraine considers its own territory. and the couch bridge, which connects crimea to the russian mainland in the us, has reportedly told ukraine to limit it's a tax for now, only to the cost region where russia with the help of north korean soldiers is preparing a counter offensive to take back territory. ukraine took an august attack on this would allow ukraine to strike ammunition, depos supply lines and military bases concentrated within its range. however, russia has also moved many of its valuable combat aircraft. and bombers out of the 300 kilometers attack them's range, including the planes that launch glide bomb attacks that have devastated ukrainian cities this past year. and there are limited supplies of the attack comes missiles, which are costly and time consuming to produce. ukraine may have already used much
9:06 pm
of its stocks and it's unclear how many more us consent for more i want to bring in . now frank ludwig, she's a senior lecturer in more studies at portsmouth university. he georgias tonight from oxford. frank, it's good to see you again. um, what is your opinion here? why is the us allowing ukraine to use these missiles this way? now, could they be bred well in your report that was timely boost we used, and i think we can see dr. on 2 levels. first of all, the political, strategic but bite and of course has weeks left on this well, in some ways i suppose leave the contribution to but will on a relative high. but we mustn't get to optimistic about that. they're all the operational reasons. so cost is the, is the target to area. and so much say the pretext for this, well, they take effectively in production of north korean troops. but the point is that
9:07 pm
russia is very suited to stuff contra offensive to push back ukraine from cost give us a new deployed to miss also certainly helped us and avoid an embarrassing exit from costco suspect, but ukrainian sleep. certainly it will go a long way towards damaging motion operations and not to area it. do you think frank, this is a change in us policy will make a noticeable change on the battlefield part. so the 1st couple of weeks depending of course, of the stocks that have been transferred to us, it shows that these massage the u. k. of course, equally or most or more sure. what else is front of the stove side of the scouts which explains the lack of the battlefield right now? so we have, we must moderate expectations. this isn't a game changer. that won't be enough to target every major target, vs. it will have an effect, particularly as the report set, the wrong, munitions supplies,
9:08 pm
and so forth. of course it can cause some kind of assumptions to change. they'll have to move on to the customer to miss all areas. assets i should say, into the area, which will mean that'd be removed from elsewhere, but eventually they'll get the metro also must say how that all these other weapon systems the ukraine has been given. and if i understand you right, this decision will do 2 things really is going to secure under biden's. legacy is in a supporter of ukraine. but it could also be ensuring that north korea gets hit, where it hurts. and then it knows that the united states is behind the power of those missiles. is that a correct assessment? so yes, i think so, and also it does get that message again back to china and even the, even more of the distant strategic rival, by the way, there is no evidence that no upgrade troops have been deployed yet. and so, you know, evidence that i've been involved in combat,
9:09 pm
i suspect what they will do is backfill the russian troops to dislike it. reduce the pressure on, on the russians, the but it goes as the political impact as you, and that's most important there. but i have to stress here, this is not a game changer. simply another weapon system delivery hospitality will serve exclusively to specific targets. and it's not going to change the cost of all. and what about russia's response? what we heard today from last scale, you know, warning the us that you're moving us closer and closer to a 3rd world war with this. yes, well, that's marie ability to for you. we could not put what her why she belongs, which is already a shows i suspect rather of the power to suggest. now look, this won't have any significant effect. there will be no significant retaliation that will be aware of. it may be high, but if things going on under the surface, we will never be aware of them. so the history books are written, but we won't know about those. this isn't a sufficiently escalation, certainly not sufficient to justify any form of any box or not,
9:10 pm
or should be escalation. no way. i'm fed them before we let you go to frank, you know where there are 2 months left in the bite and administration, the bite and presidency. it could this be a final chapter in this, and where do you think of the know the final chapters are being written and will be written in the south and east, where the russians continue to make increments will gaze the central gravity is down there. there's always high speed and within not the most important fact, some on power not and of course to a lesser extent, weapons and ammunition supplies and both those levels. i'm afraid the paintings are in some difficulties. frank language is always frank, good talking with you. we appreciate your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you, brent. but the shifting us as policy is also an issue with the g 20 summit of world leaders in brazil. the united states will allow ukraine as we heard to use long
9:11 pm
range missiles destroyed into russian territory. other western nations such as france and the u. k could following soon, but germany's transfer off showed he maintains his dance and not given ukraine, those types of weapons. he made that clear during a press conference in rio de janeiro and stuff on the website. i'm firmly convinced that many citizens in germany are concerned about security to increase in yeah, that's a difficult and that is why it's important that we do as of like saying that you're quite, you know, just have that means approaching ukraine and speaking clearly here at a conference and you like this also because we've got russia, that's to be all which at the same time we must always backs prudently and i can not domains the case chavez the lot. as far as my own approach is concerned, i've explained very clearly why i don't consider the delivery of cruise missiles or young torres is the very end to germany. to be the right thing to do. that can only be used and this needs to be said. if you also feel responsible for the targeting,
9:12 pm
and that's something i kind of do not want to be responsible for the offices. when the w. c. political editor, mikaela clifton, or she told us more about why shells refuses to provide you crazy with german, made long range weapons. while it said it this way, he also knows that in 3 months time there are snap elections here in germany. and one of the key principles he established throughout is his brand. he's trying to frame it as a political brand, a level headed nest, that he won't take decisions concerning ukraine likely. and we saw in the past, it's true, for instance, over the question on whether to provide german tanks if it came conditional that to biden 1st provide americans abrams time. so the question marks of how much sense that makes and the bass of field saddam and then also provides its own types and much larger numbers. and what i've told wouldn't really give us a comment, although we asked twice on how he sees do biden's decision that it's found out the
9:13 pm
way it's being reported. and he said that this was a fundamental principle that he stuck to, that he didn't want to provoke an escalation at n t wouldn't simply throw that overboard. but all of this has to be clearly seen within that context of him. only really guessing positive ratings in the polls when he's reluctant to send those don't range missiles to ukraine. and that's something he to the also doesn't want to endanger. domestic sees. so yes, so he's got one i of course, on his domestic audience. what about the, on the international scene there, i assume that everyone is talking about what is going to happen in january. the return of donald trump, to the white house. and are, are they assuming with that, we will possibly least be seeing the end of the war in ukraine? there is a growing expectation that this boat will end. it has to end as put it this way.
9:14 pm
here at the z 20 in rio, you have full face of the world economy. almost 2 thirds of the world population represented by the leaders and ukraine, isn't officially on the agenda as such. but it isn't. lensky wasn't invited this time around to join the debate. the focus is clarity on something else. it's on poverty, pricing, poverty fighting hunger. that's something new. the silver of brazil's present put at the very center of this g 20 gathering. and there's a growing sense that this is a conflict. that is how it creates is enough, have up for what's labeled the global south, and it's simply needs to end. and what we're seeing right now is gains and losses in the bass of field that will form that baseline for negotiations that everybody expects. donald trump, to force at once, he comes into office on the 28th of january. and because before we run out of time, do you get this is very that we are seeing this multi polar world order that we
9:15 pm
hear so much about that. but it may be a diminished role for the united states under donald trump. if it is all of that coming to the for their at the g 20 absolutely, it's very clear that china plays a huge role is um realtors and arrows for the billboards. this chinese brazilian, the corporation, and those countries have reached that threshold to become global pay is also industrially. but also in high tech india, showing us brazil, they are a lot more self confident and they have their own interests that aren't necessarily the interest of the west. and that is katie coming to the full frontier. so that means a lot more work for the europeans and most uncertain times to them as well. are cheap political and certainly can look up there at the g. 20 summit in rio de janeiro of mckayla, as always. thank you. all right, let's take a look now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world
9:16 pm
. 10 people have been killed in more than 40 wounded in a russian strike on ukraine's black sea port of odessa. you credit in for as an invalid him is zalinski said a ballistic missile hit a residential neighborhood, damaging an apartment block. and the university building, national police say 7 officers, a medic into civilians die a 60 day state of emergency has been declared in ecuador due to ongoing droughts, made worst by forest dryers. some 10000 hector's of forest and been destroyed. ecuador relies heavily on hydro of electric power and critically low water levels have led to the rationing of electricity. nigeria has launched em parks, vaccinations with shots to health workers in the capitol abuse. yup. africa's most populous nation received 10000 doses of the vaccine in august, after the world health organization declared at a global public health emergency. there had been 94 confirmed cases in nigeria this
9:17 pm
year with no debts. india has closed schools in the capital delhi until further notice. as toxic smog envelops the capital. pollution is 60 times the daily maximum limits recommended by the world health organization. construction and non essential trucks have been banned. the toxic air is being filled across india and in parts of neighboring pakistan. donald trump has named oil and gas industry executive chris white as his choice for us energy secretary known as a climate change. skeptic, right is an advocate for boosting fossil fuel use. well, ministers of the you in climate conference in baku, either by john and have been told to cut the theatrics and get down to business. as frustration grows about the slowly progress being made, negotiate as a comp 29 are struggling to come to an agreement over how much financing
9:18 pm
industrialized nations that should provide to developing countries to help them cope with the impact of global warming. and climate change is not just affecting environment around the world. it can also be a global health issue, as well climbing temperatures and increasing rainfall promote the spread of dangerous diseases. we have this report del, from bangladesh on how big the fever is becoming more common due to climate change . the doctors were expecting patients, but this years think a outbreak conductor. bangladesh has overwhelmed to the water in the post cases of dang, they only rose during the season, but now they were doing a patient full year rounds. how is that the season is more intense? we're under a lot of pressure here. thinking is the virus, the spreads for mosquitoes to people. symptoms and usually mild button, severe cases it can be fatal. when musky turn number's once dwindled include
9:19 pm
a months, heavier, rain, and warm a temperature is due in part to global warming costs by bonding fossil fuels. providing the conditions for them to survive. and it's not just in asia spring insecticides in europe to kill us, be invasive asian tiger mosquito, which transmits 10 k and other viruses like chicken good, new and seeka has become more necessary as they move north. fountain, 8 to european union countries in 2013, just over a decade later, the species is fully established in 13, including france, germany, austria, and hungry. and has been introduced in the for the 6 in 2023. that would then gain outbreaks in spain from some instantly changing rains happens and what conditions in the united states are also leading to follow the spread of disease from some species of take some of the key terms people would be more exposed health systems. we have to cope with an increased burden of disease associated with these passages
9:20 pm
spreading. i mean, particularly, or we're gonna seeing, you know, cations starting to suffer from the impacts of infectious disease transmission locations that were previously considered relatively se, extreme weather events. lessons by rising temperatures are also taking a toll on human health. severe drought in some regions has decimated cro, pompous leading to under nutrition. floating can lead to contamination of water sources causing outbreaks of illnesses like diarrhea. the world health organization estimates that will be another $250000.00 deaths per year between 20302050 from health conditions linked to climate change. so what we need to do is quickly adapt to the high temperature is that we're already seen. and we know that now we've continued to rise in every company, but also to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions without action say x,
9:21 pm
but seems like this and unlikely to become more common across the globe. robert butler is directive for environment and health at the world health organization. he told me how negotiations at comp 29 are looking at the health impacts of climate change as well as i somebody to me. indeed it's very promising. actually this very government's a place to house at the center of the discussions. indeed today is the health day a call in there by the previous call. we also have a dedicated today to house because a aspects of house are impacted by climate change. not just those that you saw in the report that was just bro cost. yeah. versus treat todd your vascular diseases must be terrible diseases you saw in the video. also of kansas linked with that collection mount nutrition from disrupted food systems as a huge looming mental health process. i think in the european region where we're
9:22 pm
seeing this most of q the and that's the region which ice of the w. h of regional office based in copenhagen. we see this most acutely is on a heat house. just in the last year, we've seen a 175000 desks from heat in your to be the crisis in your temperatures. our pricing uh, doubled the global price. so this is very alarming and something the countries have to prepare for. of course. yeah, we hear those reports all the time, how europe is eating up faster than the rest of the planet. how key in countries in vulnerable regions? how can they adapt to climate driven health threats and health challenges as well? let's take less time sheets as an example. how heat health application plans. many countries don't have these plans in place. those countries that have needs health action plans in place that under finance many or those countries have not tested
9:23 pm
those huge health action plans. because of course, when you have a heat, but when you have an extreme weather event slowing included, it puts an incredible button on your house system. and it requires such resilience not only in the house system, but the community that those we, we test on the plans emergency plans, pandemic thompson, circles. but we, we seem to be a little behind the times on how we test our. uh, yeah, heat health, action plans, not preparedness for climate induced and extreme weather events. and when they answer could be more air conditioning here in europe. but you know, as well as i do that, a lot of people think that that in itself would present a health risk. so it's almost like the solution could just compound the problem. absolutely, let me go to, we've got got a cost cop in the machine. see, it's, it's that simple. it's great to plan up for a house,
9:24 pm
and it's great for every living being on the planet. so planetary house in the sense that of costs for greenhouse gas is we're going to see a reduction in climate change in a slowing down in the climate change. but if we can get clean high, uh, particularly to people in vulnerable situations, the most modern lives, we have 569000 premature deaths in europe from briefing full quality at every year. that is remarkable. and that is something we can change if we choose to mitigate and do something about part of the change and cut those emissions, which is why you ultimately way ahead in bathroom before we even that's all i want to ask you about. the money is global climate finance isn't meeting the scale of health risks that are posed by climate change. it's a great question. look all losing cop last year ends by never talking about
9:25 pm
billions needed in terms of investments. now that smoking fairly is, is just the g 20 a meeting today, those 20 countries contribute to 80 percent of global emissions. so it is a political choice. they can make the choice, they can invest, they have the money. um, but, but clearly we're not seeing the investment we need and that will be an exponential increase over the years if we continue on this cause for all butler director of health at the w h. o. joining us tonight from arco in either by john rob. we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. all right, let's get a quick look at the 2nd set of headlines around the world. voters in gamble and have approved the new constitution proposed by the country's military rulers. the constitution introduced as the term limits and bars, family members from seceding, the presidency. the ruling hunter says it pays the way back to civilian government . the critics say it's designed for the hunters leader to stay in power. farmers
9:26 pm
and brands have been watching roads to protest against a trade deal between european union and several south american nations known as macro sore. the farmers of say it will lead to unfair competition and allow the importance of standard agricultural products. advocates say the deal will boost economic ties and create business opportunities in your the police in central thailand were forced to run for cover and barricade themselves inside their station when hundreds of inmates. or maybe i should say, prime aids broke free from their cages. authorities in the law fury built special enclosures to how's the monkeys after locals complained about their aggressive behavior, but some $200.00 escaped running wild and squatting at the police precinct. the captain said that they'd sealed off the building to prevent the monkeys from destroying property. and documents that's what happens when you live in the k. if you want to do that, but you do is after

w. the only the or i can be on the top is to create my own empire, discover stories to just to click away the majority of the destination, right? based document trees. subscribe. now i'm talking name, treat. dream was within reach. she'd become a star in turkey overnight. then a man took everything from her with the help of his family and music. she rebuilt. and then her sister also became a family scholar by hatred and mother and the daughters. i am willing to work for
9:30 pm
change. so i will sing my song. maybe my voice will be heard seeking justice for the victims of genocide starts november 21st on d, w. the the missile strikes could come any time now just in time and yet long overdue. that's the view from ukraine is it prepares to finally use us made attacking missiles to hit targets inside of russia, deeper the never before for the white house. this is a major policy shift. a 1000 days in the making. russia began its full scale invasion of ukraine 1000 days ago since then. president biden has worn time and time again. we don't want to escalate this conflict, but that is exactly what russian lawmakers accuse biden of doing. a us president
