the i'm aaron tilton, berlin. thank you very much for joining us. ukrainian civilians have been left reeling after russian missiles struck apartment buildings in the cities of odessa. and to me, at least 10 people were killed in thousands injured in odessa, when a russian missile sparked fires in the port city and ukraine's north officials say rush, all fired, cluster munitions on the residential area. and so me kind of left in people and entering more than 80 these latest strings come just hours after the us granted you cream permission to use long range weapons to attack russian territory for the 1st time. the weapon systems in question is the us american made our us or rather made army tactical missile system or attack comes moscow, has slammed the move. seen the use of long range missiles by ukraine, would mark a radical escalation of the conflict. here's more, not one. what these weapons are capable of,

and when you crane by use them for the seas are attack on this 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 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. 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 the territory. ukraine took in 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 how much of it stocks, and it's unclear how many more us consent do you have the reporter stuff. and simon's is covering the story for us from washington. earlier, i asked him how present elect donald trump's team is reacting to jo bind's decision on ukraine's use of missiles. well, not very favorably. donald trump, for president elect donald trump, hasn't said anything himself, but in his universe and the trump universe, all the bells are ringing and the flex are being posed into this area. why is

that? for example, major a, tyler green, the representative house of representatives from georgia said, for example of president bind, trying to start world war 3 on the way out. donald trump jr, a son of donald trump for president elect military industrial complex. and it seems to want to make sure they get world war 3 going before my father takes office or michael walls. this is the incoming security advisor for donald trump. this is another step up, the escalation letter, and no one knows where this is going or former a invested or us invested in germany, rick, or now. this is as if he is launching, he meaning president biden, launching a whole. busy new war, so there you see the trump camp, not happy with this. however, also to be said is they think this is

a town called pro vocation. if not escalation, trump administration ceases completely different. of course, they say pro escalated 1st with calling now up to 11000 north korean troops engage in combat operations, getting the courage area against ukraine. and that is an escalation and letting me 14 escalated per uh, per step by step in the last 2 and a half years anyway, so overdue from the u. s. to react. and that's what the binding administration said educated this decision to allow the attack comes to be used by ukraine, against at inside russia. where the opposition from the camp of donald trump is probably not that surprising. but how unusual is it for an outgoing present to make such a far reaching decision shortly before is a test for takes office while you could say it's unusual, but actually it is not, you know, the stands of the administration here and every other administration. i remember, and there is a few, was look,

this president's elected for 4 years and not for 3 years, and 10 months or 9 months or 11 months. so they will do what they think is in the best interest of the united states and the american people until the clock ran out of time for this presidency. and this is again, 9 weeks out. still, before this is going to happen, this will be january, the 20th integration of donald trump until then you have to deal with everybody has to deal with president joe biden, and he is sure to use his remaining powers and time to do whatever he thinks is in the best interest of the american people, that's at least what they ministration says on the clock is ticking and his time is running out. but we do have these different simons in washington. thank you very much for your reporting. let's take a brief look now and some other stories making headlines around the world and is really airstrike is killed at least 5 people in a densely populated area of 11 on capital

b route. local media said 2 missiles struck, a neighborhood were locally un headquarters. and lebanese government offices are located, strikes comes as the west presses a head, with a proposed truce between israel and lebanese, has beloved militants of 60, the state of emergency has been declared in ecuador, and due to ongoing droughts made worst by forest fires. some 10000 actors of forest have been destroyed. so far. equity relies heavily on hydro, electric power, and critically low water levels have led to rationing of electricity. there a health emergency has been declared in pockets on the 2nd biggest city of lahore, which has seen unprecedented levels of air pollution. hospitals have reported a surgeon case of asthma and other briefing disorders. the small clouds have been so thick that they can be seen from space and that smoke is also blanketing the indian capital valley,

which has had his most toxic levels of the pre winter season. thick air pollution has limited invisible, limited visibility, and even diverted. some flights levels of cancer causing particles. a search bar passed the daily limits set by the world health organization. it's got so bad that india supreme court has taken up the issue in order to local governments to take quote, all possible action to mitigate the problem. it's also prompted authorities to close schools and switch students to online classes. this is daily. on monday afternoon, the air quality index stood at 30 times the level categorized is good for briefing, the small because a risk for everyone with doctors warning of the impact of exposure to the toxic air . the one which we consider them as ality data out are mean get a livelihood. so dad expos to the pollution polluted air. for longer periods, we can combine that terms and lean. do we get into the homes? but the better and the family can not stay inside of so the other ones are getting

affected because of the pollution. most schools in delhi have been shot, but some have remained open. a cause for concern among many students and parents were facing the loss of difficulty. people are getting sick because of the pollution we have to wear face most to protect ourselves. and our schools are shocked because of this to the school, even the way it's going to hold them to shut schools, even though the children studies are important. health is equally important. it appears that the students are healthy, they can catch up on study and could be there tonight. a oh, sorry, he's in delhi, have also binds construction work, asked employers to have more staff, work from home and find trucks. nothing differential fix small generally envelops. india is capital in northern states along with parts of pockets time between october and january. it's due to pollution, weather conditions and crops,

double burning. and it's this practice that has local officials in delhi furious. you to sign this is happening dish or putting me because of the crop residue burning across the nation. a good lot of jimmy farmers are burning stobel and punjab. arianna raja per dash for to per dash a drug just on games instead of gone. but the federal government assisting idle today the entire north of india has been pushed into a medical emergency to the other. the indian government, in turn, has blamed local authorities for not doing enough to control pollution in delhi, weather forecasters predict no change in the conditions. in the coming days. i asked our correspondent, a deal bought in dealing with the judges on india as high as court had to say about the pollution. well, uh the supreme court has good site that product, these and the government for the lead action injecting the rise and fusion. indeed,

even in the outskirts of duty as well as they said that the color deeds that seem to take any present to action enough to waited for you to improve uninstalled and one. taking this note of this complete connection, the supreme court directed authorities to implement cups of this created for a small section plan which in india is photograph, which is actually, you know, that structured efforts to address or could be abusing debbie and be specific to this time to specifically mention, you know, the implementation of the stage for the plan. what the point is, how to dig steps like stopping and p. okay. the we cool like trucks and daily and discontinue because it took classes but students and also working from home in both private and public boxes. so what are we seeing, denny? now that people are heading video already working in 50 percent capacity and the quote which is very important, what they said, because the instructor, the authorities

a to not to discontinue the existing cups without the permission. and also these, uh, you know, uh, and we'll go to headings, have to come up with the kind of a ritual in india. that's why i like to talk what comes up it's guidelines. but in the end, there are no substantial results on the ground or that he really is the question, what are these new measures actually capable of making a dent in the countries horrible air pollution at the moment? well, i mean these uh, guidelines from supreme court orders begins, they should, they should make some kind of a difference between the boss expos. save that, the boss buildings on coping get the ocean happiness take do. so because successive governments are totally failed to manage the problem. and now we see that there is disassembly, lack of political will and consensus among all these tech stakeholders and lead from sentence and end state government. and what makes our the matter was the political bickering next, taking place between central and state. and this happens to be via and,

and with no one actually addresses the root cause of the problem. and the people of the country having suffering because of the political bleeding game that's taking place in the year. and this will not become cyclical in, in finding of the state and the central government, which only believes the implementation of these guidelines. but spring got, it has no consequences on the people. and we see the search of, you know, a patient's going to hospitals. well, i think for some of her he will not be a little bit confusing when, when they think of a supreme court often we don't think of them as taking some type of action when it comes to climate change or pollution. so maybe could you explain to us how exactly did the supreme court even get involved in tackling pollution in the 1st place? and the actually working with almost immediately after free edition was applied last week. in fact, the top, what has been attempting to solve, you know, did easy abuse in crisis for nearly 4 decades now. and because of the failure of the government to address this issue. and one more important thing is that top

would always steps in matters of public interest. and right now distribution in the and all the media. usually we're talking about daily or also the neighboring states, like up to you on our largest, on a new with the for these uh, the situation in the states is a public health crisis activity. and the supreme court's intervention comes because it recognizes the access to be yet as a fundamental right. and in the box, the court has said that it usually waits fundamental rights of a susans and the tardies are allowed displayed in white nation up rules that in these rights. so i know we have to see and what like these are the leaves, make a difference on the ground. we haven't like, you know, you don't want to and see like what we'll talk to you through this time. okay. i'm afraid we have to leave it there. thank you very much for reporting that was dw corresponded deal bought from delhi. thank you for joining us and you're up to date, but you stick around up next week. take
