in the, this is day that when you there is live from for a lame ukraine, uses us made attack us to fire into russia for the 1st time. the longer range missiles target, a military facility in the bronze great and small scale says the strikes mark a new phase in the war and warns it will respond accordingly. also on the program, germany suspect sabotage after on explains damage to communications cables in the baltics, the defense minister forrest victoria says it's aimed at disrupting ukraine's european allies. the

welcome to the program. i'm the call for late. can we start tonight with a 1st on tuesday, new crane fire us made attack comes rockets into russia. the strikes came after washington authorize their use on russian territory, and the aim is to limit moscow's ability to launch attacks and supply the front. russia has described the attack as an escalation, marking a new phase in the war of the ukraine's, the use of attack comes long. the range missiles is being seen as a milestone in its defense against russia's invasion. it came off to us president joe biden finally gave keith the green light to use the us made weapons against targets deeper inside russia must go, says the 6 ballistic missiles launched would tell, getting a military facility in russia's west and brians region. the kremlin says it's a defensive shut down 5. 0,

the attacks coincided with the passage of $1000.00 days since rushed his invasion. if you claim began, often mocking the occasion in his own parliament, ukraine's president below to me is a lensky told e. u low make is not to be fearful of doing more to end the conflict every day. the best moment to push fresh out hot up. it is clear with our southern dfacs as rationally will elect real, but it is easy to engage in. meaningful negotiations is rising for a defense meeting, also in brussels. nato secretary general mont roof test said ukraine would need more support to prevail over russia today, march 5, some days off to russian on slopes on profile to original assault home you free. so today we will discuss how we can help you frame to preview that means more age,

more money, and we have to make it available to them, particularly now that the north koreans have come on board. with that is not the only leader to re god most goes the addition of thousands of north korean troops to come by to operate sions against ukraine. as a major publication, it may also influence washington's decision to allow teeth to deploy attack homes. now, washington's move has prompted russia to update you clear weapons policy, the newly released don't train permit, so potential new, clear response even to a conventional attack on russia by any nation that supported by a nuclear power, even if nothing, new power itself. long range missiles are going to be applied from ukraine into russian territory. it will also mean that they are, or they're ready to buy a new rican experts,

military experts. and we will be taking this as a corner that you really knew face of the western hor, against the russian. and the bill will be if the forwarding know to west and lead is, are on board with supplying long the range weapons. despite please from keep germany's counselor off, schultz has refused. now the world must wait to see whether washington's decision will hasten the resolution. or the escalation of the 1000 day old will. the earlier i spoke to nuclear experts, marianna, the geron to say, so with a project on managing the adam at harvard university, and i asked her why a lot of her food and had lowered the nuclear threshold. well, the changes to the nuclear doctrine of the russian federation have been in the works now for years. so it's not exactly a need drug reaction to the decision of the bite in ministration to,

to give permission to create into striking inside russia in 5 president couldn't have previewed these changes in september this year, but the actual release of the document we haven't seen it yet that was timed with as a response, i suppose to buy those decision. i also don't regard these changes as drastic. they're actually upon close reading. they don't constitute a really great departure from the previous doctrine. some of the formulations have been relaxed, relaxed it is true, the overall nuclear threshold has been lowered, but not, and in such a significant way as to cause, you know, panic or great concern. can you elaborate on that? what makes you think that this is not a major escalation? a so for instance, a nuclear response to a large scale conventional of aggression against the russian federation. that

wasn't the previous doctrine to uh, the, the thing that change was that, um, in the old doctrine, it was the kind of a large scale, conventional impression the put the very survival of the state in peril. now in the change doctrine, it's a critical threat to the sovereignty and turturro integrity of the russian federation. but also it's alive, bella ruse. so yes, it's a gives a bit more interpreted to room for a decision maker a specifically president putting himself as to what exactly constitutes the situation where there is a critical threat to a sovereignty entered moral integrity. one more thing that was added in terms of situations that, that sort of permit the use of nuclear weapons is a mass of combined of air space attack by all sorts of

projectiles and aircraft, both strategic and tactical aircraft, but also drones, cruise missiles and so forth. so that part is new, but again, the doctor and elaborate. these are a situation of, you know, stream emergencies. the not every attack would, would come, would require such a nuclear response and also to add, you know, nuclear doctrines are important documents. they're important in communicating your resolve and deterring threats to your adversary, but also to your domestic audience as they're not going to jump in there. what is, what is the phone trying to, to communicate here. then if you're saying that, that he's really not willing to risk a nuclear escalation, if i'm understanding you correctly a thing that would really possibly risk

a nuclear escalation in extreme circumstances. for sure. but you know, your grading striking if you target as an russian territory, it would probably not constitute that what he's communicating is, uh, you know, the latest instance in the long line of his nuclear signaling. we're just trying to weigh the west to convince the west do to influence its support for ukraine to break it up. especially now in this very vulnerable moment when ukraine is in a tough spot. but also western political, you know, domestic situations in many countries. i'm not conducive to long term ukrainian support. i'm sitting here in the united states. so of, so we know what exactly what i'm talking about nuclear experts that we're in a wheelchair and who's speaking to us earlier there. well, defense minister, worth the story is here in germany, has the scribes the suffering of 2 fiber optic cables under the baltic c as an act

of sabotage. is that the damage could represent an act of hybrid warfare. the cables connect jeremy vinland, sweden and lithuania. so we, there's some spanish and media are reporting that the danish navy had been shadowing a chinese cargo should have considered to be of interest in the investigation. the under see cables like this one are critical for carrying communications between countries. the apparent sabotaged on monday morning hit the sea line and one cable that runs under the baltic between the german port city and for all stock. and the finish capital of helsinki. officials from finland to germany have said the incident was very unlikely to be accidental. guns clout of size, and the ca, nobody believes that these cables were cooked by mistakes for xander. i don't believe the series that it was anchors that accidentally caused damage to these cables with ease. and so we have to conclude on without knowing exactly who to this

was that it was a hyper to action that to you on order cold. and we must also assume without knowing this of course, that is sabotaged off on all skin. wanna excellent, sufficient for states is does is it goes advertised under the foreign ministers of germany, france, poland, italy, spain, and the u. k said most goes, escalating hybrid activities against nato and e. u. countries are unprecedented in their variety and scale, creating a significant security risk. this comes just one day after similar under seas cable between sweet, unless the way any it was damaged. that cut lithuania is internet capacity by one 3rd. similar incidents in africa have caused internet blackouts in the past. there are many more such cables in the seas around europe. authorities in the region are on high alert. and we can take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. spanner, superstar raphael nogales has been as tearful farewell to the tennis circuits. the

$22.00 time grand slam winter retired after losing and spain davis cup series against another. and there were more than 2 decades. the 38 year old, also 114 french open titles and 2 on fixed metals. iran studios, sri says it has not issued an indictment against a young woman taken into custody after she stripped to her underwear and the university campus impair. on active is said she was protesting around straight dress code authorities claim she is ill and has been returned to her family and a case condemned by western nations in rice groups. $45.00 pro democracy activists and hong kong have incentives to jail terms ranging from 4 to 10 years charged with subversion for their involvement in unofficial election. in 2020, they were prosecuted under beijing's controversial national security law. the bill

crushed hong kong is pro democracy movement and reduce the cities autonomy. hundreds waited for hours to get inside the courthouse. for the end of this landmark trial, the largest single prosecution to date of the home comes national security little imposed by china 4 years ago. so many here, that family and friends of those who was sentenced. $45.00 for politicians and activists did prison times of up to 10 years after being charged with conspiracy to commit suppression. the whole choice is unfair because that they, what they have done is only you know, to do what the basic law have. late john had already laid down that is that right? to pass your to, i mean the strays on to the tooth. that lifetime has to respond to the majority of hong kong people. so i don't know what, what, what, what is their criminal offense? the else of whose son hadn't triggered we was among those sentenced

to taken by police outside court. she demanded to know why her son has to go to jail, insisting that he's a good person. the, at the hearts of this mass trial, an unofficial primary election held in 2020. the defendants accused of a 10 take the power lines, home congress, governments, and the through the cities lead to by organizing all taking positives. including joshua was a prominent figure in hong kong, is once driving pro democracy movement and legal scarlet, benny tie described by judge is the mastermind who was handed the longest sentence of 10 years to come to your phone there. what do you mean? we believe these sentences reflect the severity of the crime scene and show the

crimes in vain. dream national security must be heavily punished. delagarza sentences have sent a clear message to the public because that we have 0 tolerance for any acts endangering national security thinking why that's including some bad thing states power. or they told me to go because we will study the individual sentences out before deciding whether to appeal and see if i will drop to a certain. so the sentencing has drawn criticism from western governments and human rights organizations to cite the cases, evidence of the erosion of political freedoms in hong kong, beijing and hong kong. this government insist the national security low is necessary for the city. stability. with eileen berlin is known for its christmas markets and its tech no clubs. so why not combine the 2? that is the idea behind this installation that you're about to see with fonts for
