one punish. maybe my voice will be heard. bring to our love seeking justice for the victims of fame assigned this week on d. w. the . this is the, the news coming to live berlin, ukraine's allies losing their restrictions on the use of western weaponry. then keep takes advantage reports suggest ukraine has fired for the storm shadow cruise missiles into russia for the 1st time. this comes, there's one day after it used us by detectives to strike targets deeper inside russia. also coming out artillery far boons across finland does need to hold major drills on it's eastern plank. it's the 1st major exercise hosted by data is newest member just across the border from russia and down to get set the global climate conference. and as or by showing are running

out of time to help poor countries pay for the impacts of global warming. for some nations, the short poll is already exist. central threat. the hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. british media are reporting that for the 1st time ukraine has fired u. k. supplied storm shadow missiles into russia. now either ukraine or britain have confirmed those reports which say 12 of the missiles were fired into course. border region, partially held by ukrainian forces, storm shadows, or longer range cruise missiles developed jointly by the u. k. and friends. they are launched from fighters yet, so have a range of more than 250 kilometers. while ukrainian defenses are struggling to hold in the current freeze east with russian troops slowly advancing across

broad sections of the front lines. moscow is pressing it's advantage in manpower against exhausted ukrainian troops rushing missiles and drone attacks of devastated cities and critical infrastructure. just as winter sets in, let's take a look at the melting pressure ukraine is under and how long it can hold off. russian forces. relentlessly, escalating russian attacks. more than a 100 missiles fired over the weekend targeting ukrainian infrastructure. the country is lost by some estimates. 80 percent of its heating capacity as winter weather arrives and over 50 percent of its power generation capacity. on the front lines, russia expending huge amounts of weaponry and human life to make small but steady gains. losing up to $1500.00 soldiers per day with human wave attacks on ukrainian positions, while ukrainian troops dug in behind fortifications are stretched in trying to

repel the assaults. since april, when russia ramped upfront line efforts, moscow's forces have taken hundreds of square kilometers of ukrainian territory. village by village aiming to take the strategic city of croft, which is located at the intersection of key highways. taking the cross could make it much easier for russia to make more gains in the east. meanwhile, ukraine is struggling to defend its front lines and following morales, it has difficulty recruiting soldiers, which means it has to keep its own losses as low as possible. the plan has also faced ammunition shortages. now their fears, the incoming us president donald trump code reduced military support to keep the war going. savanski has been pushing the west to deliver more weapons as fast as possible. while ukraine is running low on soldiers and equipment, russia has a increased its production of tanks and metals. despite that staggering loss of man

power, british military intelligence estimates moscow is also able to recruit about $30000.00 soldiers a month in part by offering large signing bonuses, and by raising salaries. ukraine is holding on to russian territory. it seized in august in the caustic region, a potential bargaining chip in future cease fire negotiations. and the recent us decisions to allow ukraine to fire longer range attack them is missiles seen here, and file footage into russia may make it easier to hold that territory. but russia has mast about 50000 troops in the region, including about 10000 north korean forces and is expected to mount a counter offensive. soon. ukraine has a narrowing window to hold onto what it has with another hard winter coming. and with trump taking power on january 20th,

adding even more pressure to push pressure back for make a deal. so while ago i spoke with military analyst frank language, i asked him for his assessment of where things stand now in the war in ukraine. well good morning terry, that was a very fine summary of the situation and what's happening in the front, which is the central gravity. by the way we could talk about talk of though miss sile, so i'd be national, what have you, but the central gravity to school, the key element is that's elements of attrition. both in terms of recovery or culture of land from the russian perspective. on the manpower and over the last couple of months, we've seen russia increase its tempo of taking land. really quite remarkably and not the process is continuing, especially as the pulse at the, the east, where russians took last month, about 400 square kilometers. context is 20 by 20 kilometers, but it's, it's,

it's up, it's dave a lot is big taken daily and these types of cities are mentioned. well, trust it'd be a put cross golf course. tal risk. these are coming under increasing pressure with russian soldiers already in chelsea. the all supposedly tourette's golf course, so daily the prices are coming under pressure of, most importantly, daily. they're losing people. we hear the west talking about all these russian casualties. let's not forget the credit is that taking casualties to barrels under pressure? there are these options because they're both sides to be for the 2nd, the crating something so not central gravity of people under pressure. both the ukrainians are just a bit of pressure all across the front. but it must be said that ukraine is now getting a boost for his military capabilities. it's using longer range us attack. and as you mentioned, those british storm shadow missiles, it seems that's being reported you to strike deeper into russian territory is going to get empty personnel mines from the united states. what impact could all this

have on the war at this point? right, i don't buy any of these stories of game changer, so we'd be talking about store shadows, a comes of scouts and other organs for a long time. that's not just because that's not forget all these, all the big box on the end of rockets and the russians of course, have been using such a similar besides, in the shape of this condos every pretty much every day during the campaign. and of course, without decisive effect, they so another arrow as it were, the crate is quickly the printed off. so they're not going to make any kind of decisive effect. they'll simply pop the pos that they overall the crate. and that's what the strikes we've seen. so far being on munition don't rush as dozens of these multiple ways is the cold war and they can afford those losses. so what, but that's much more, i think the political gesture that the military want to the store shut the top comes in and whatnot. i'll give you a sort of escalation, but nonetheless, no, i don't think those will have any kind of decisive effects. many who back ukraine

and in new credit, of course, are concerned about the change in ministration in the united states. with donald trump coming in his presence. how much pressure is ukraine under now? to cut a deal with russia and end this war? and if it does agree to a peace deal, frank, how likely is it that it will get the kind of security guarantees it wants from its partners? is this most associated election of present troublemaker who has made a sea change in the approach of ukrainians? and polls taken in october before the election so that 52 percent of you credit is with in favor of some kind of peace deal. and the reason for that is that there's a certain element of healthy solomon, so will fatigue amongst the ukrainians, could the last thursday that they did the appalling drug of a constant threats of wolf error rates. and of course, the deluxe is, but who knows what president trump will do suddenly this a does it does it?

does it cutting points in his election? but it's not, it's not that hasn't caused the turning point. the cutting points took place that it took place and any particular point has happened over the last 4 or 56 months, as the pressure on your credit manpower and indeed civilian row has, has incrementally taken effect. i think we'll see enough, but for a settlement we've had a tucker show for the last few days, which looks as if it might be attractive 50 to the russians. and we all know cyprus is going to take the spot on a line of control with some form of assurance. plus, as he say, something got a security guard once he would come to show up, though, unfortunately, no, nato will not be part of that deal in the sense that your grade will not be going into nato. that has to be, however, some form of guarantee. so the credit is understanding that the rest and simply won't stop this over the next year. and that, that certain elements of the west, particularly u. s. u k. funds will be ready to start date. and so that take place,

not least by lots of security counties, and i think there's a much, much, much more likely than any kind of nato right. frank, thank you very much. that was military and almost frank flip, which as well, frank mentioned the manpower pressures on ukraine. the country is struggling to fill its ranks on the eastern front line, not least because of a sharp spike in desertion. more than 30000 cases had been registered this year alone. this has prompted the government to criminalize the offense for the 1st time for 1st time offenders, allowing them to avoid a jail term if they go back. the w is the mission jobs. wal reports to cool. it's going, it's been 18 months since on the condo, held a weapon, wind rush, i launched its full scale invasion in february 2022 clicked on default. them internally. he thought he says, oh, you're into the war. he handed his weapons to his commando and left me, i believe,

but of my brother's good. so frantic, his condition has become dangerous. he had even become a threat to my neighbors. so i went home and we, apart from my brother and mother, but i have no one else which means when you call, when it's on the head, no lead the way to apply to go. his come on to had to report him for absence without leave. something which at the time could have put on it's on the, in prison for up to 10 yards. and it's not just him. cases of absence without leave have triple so far the field in august, the ukrainian solomon to decriminalize the offense for 1st time offenders. if they return to fight, that includes the arctic sound of now he's trying to join the 47th brigade, which is actively reaching out to the to start telling them it's ok to make mistakes. and that the brigade would welcome them back. loyal oaks on the hotel

often represents such strong will be sold to judge. she said she's heard it all. men who knew they were being sent to the debts. men who had breakdowns, mental simply wanted to go home after 2 years on the front. de criminalization, she says was the one the option use as of course and some there was such a large number of these crimes, a veteran and military unit and assertion that they did not have time to process all of them. see corporate to walk. the case case has made it to this court in keys . he was caught joining a random documents check over to your office to he left his position on the front line. he was serving in the opportunity unit and come of course, struggling with tronic back been then he heard his wife wanted a divorce and he walked away from his unit for you. he stayed in a church and worked on the jobs. he didn't tell his mother that he had deserted

when the police stopped and invested him. he did not resist this excuse. i'm not a robert and now the band is not a murderer. now i will go to fight just to be honest. i have no regrets. i lived a little and now my one wishes to see my mother and sister with their system. the judge done so get permission to rejoin the ministry and avoid prosecution. he must strict on within 72 hours. he tells us why he think so many people leave. could use the command. you don't care anymore. they don't go to the front line with us is are you just a far away from us? only a few go with or unit. time only returning from my family, but these are the only people i really go back to war for i don't worry about myself. i don't want them to work

on the front lines. discussion is an uncomfortable subject. uh so the chair sam. yup. could be more useful leaving your unit is a stigma for a minute. remind up a window of a corner is whatever the task is assigned to a unit. and this allows us to, we have to carry it out loud enough so that you have no matter if a man, but does us the unit is wounded or dies to move from needed sort of to wish. so when our task has to be carried out by a smaller number of people, so we feel the pressure issue that back maybe troy officers agree that things need to change. they tell us more, pete, it. so please more medical attention and better communication. when has nature is holding as largest ever artillery exercise in europe. $5000.00 troops have gathered along the lines of the eastern flag. the blocks, newest member. finland is hosting some of those troops. and as far north, alexander phenomena reports from a training area not far from the countries,

1300 kilometer border. with russia. friend, caesar howitzers, swedish archers, american multiple launch record systems firing and it called united efforts to prevent enemy forces from reaching allied troops. this is the scenario of the dynamic front 25 exercise here and finish optic territory. when we come together is a nice side for us. we need to make sure that we're able to work together. and that means reacting to cause for far as quickly accurately. and ensuring that that they leave for the chief the i this exercise is the 1st large scale maneuver. and since then, since the country joy nato last year, dropping decades of military non alignment to seek the alliances protection following crushed us invasion of ukraine. finish forces are considered highly

capable and well trained. unlike many other european countries, sealants to have conscription for man. during this exercise, steps taking place only 130 kilometers or so from the russian border. finish con scripts are supporting nato troops with logistics. the main defender is the last defending auto sales. nato is a big help in that. yes. and that gives us that he is here. it is that the we won't be alone next time. if something does happen. i believe that way again when he gets home, how to hold on then then, but it's mostly is, it's from us. so, but it's, it's good to have people in the back. so we out of throwing out a bit that an exercise like this one is intended to send a message to russia, that the alliance is united and capable of defending its members. but how united audio lies and with donald trump in the white house and nato is kept to construct and we can see alliance. what will you as role in all of this be and what steps the

future of the organization looked like. but according to some here, this isn't a new discussion. i joined the army 20 years ago or was already using 20 years later. we're still involved in nature operation. we'll see. starting was a fuck. no, i'm not worried about the as off. uh yeah, we are very so you don't very values, shoot you calm and self confidence. that's how the artillery man and mountain years wants to appear in simmons. the come under as you point out, that the warren ukraine has shown once again the importance of field artillery. it's artillery. they tell us the twins wars let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. united states is vito, the un security council resolution calling for an immediate cease fire in gaza because it did not call for the release of hostages. the council voted 14 to one in favor, but the usb to mentor was not to adopt us. diplomats. i'm also hochstein is

in 11 on in hopes of ceiling, a deal to hold israel's military operations. there. he's match with the officials and be rude. fueling optimism over a ceasefire between sees between has voted on and israel hochstein is set to meet is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to present the truth proposal. and australian teenager has died in bangkok, costs, and a bank called costs little after drinking alcohol contaminated with method all been loans, australia and media said he was the 4th 4 in taurus to die following to danes and an american prime minister anthony ellen easily said another young australian was finding 4 per line for the pop and the phone is talk so the cop $29.00 climate conference in baku, azerbaijan, our deadlocked just 2 days before they are due to end. the sticking point is

funding to help poor countries address the impacts of climate change. a new draft declaration has been released that includes 2 options, both suggesting around a trillion dollars per year. but rich in developing countries remain far apart on the exact amount needed and where it will come from either usually any fund how much time is following the climate talks and barcode. i asked her if there's any progress in reaching a deal on climate funding. well, yes and no, yes. uh, and you negotiate in text. you mentioned it just dropped much later than we anticipated. but still, because we have to remember where to at the biggest, you know, kind of diplomacy events. so what countries eventually need to agree on is this text, these words. so everybody's looking at the part about that to you, a time of finance target and, and you know, the text as it stands right now shows how much work is yet to be done. and how far

its negotiators are still from agreeing to a compromise. um, because there's basically 2 options and the text one protects the view of developing countries. and one that's reflects the view of developed countries. now you mentioned that, you know, and both agree that's trillion amount of a trillion dollars as that if i did it. but there's a big x in front of such a bones. and so there are no concrete numbers on the table yet. and we have to remember, it's only, you know, 48 hours to go technically till this conference ends. and so there, there are long hours of negotiations ahead. why is it proving so difficult for delegates? there defines a middle ground on those climate change funds. well, i mean, um, as the big obvious answer is that it's always very hard to agree on money. um and now we, we do see these, these very different standpoints on a couple of content. just issue is one is the amount of money that should be

provided per year from developed countries to developing countries. secondly, also very importantly is what kind of what form that finance will take. what developing countries are saying is basically we need a lot of money to come in the form of grants or concessional loans. and now what's developed countries are saying basically, is that it needs to be much broader, is that there's a lot of different actors that can contribute to time in finance. and that the private sector placed an important role and, and, and that all of these should be included in this new collective quantified goal and, and the other. the 3rd big point of contention is, who actually should contribute to kind of science, not only in terms of these actors like i just mentioned, but also terms of what countries. because what developed countries have been saying is that they won't. countries like china or india is still counts under these un classifications as developing countries to step up and contribute as well us. and

now these countries obviously saying that's that they shouldn't. and that's developed countries are, you know, the ones that's sort of have cost as to our, to you most emissions. and it should be a step up to that responsibility and provide the finance i'm and yeah, we are now a mid way through the conference and still adds to find that basically we were asked before before the conference as well. so right. somebody had pretty, we're going to have to leave it there. nobody's letting me fund how much time reporting from buck, who we thank you very much is what are the fastest growing economies in the world? india is having to balance the rush to expand its energy and transport infrastructure with the need to protect his environment. the w shuttle. yeah, they have travel to toddler, con, in the himalayas to explore. india is development dilemma the my t indian. him. molly, as source of life for millions and indispensable for the was climate

time bring with them has consequences is for denise loan and his wife had been living dangerously in the humanity in town of to see much hundreds of homes. he'll have develop cracks, leaving them uninhabitable. the government will swap and everything, the government shopping cart about what's happening here. if you think of with nature, there will be damage. that is development the vendor destruction. what will it be nice with? the town has been subsiding since 2021. the residency to the government hasn't paid enough attention to the suffering. how many will flows to leave the homes? but not everyone has settled this hydro power plant that you see down there has been under construction on contribution for over a decade. now. lucas here in this him ali and down squarely blame the drilling will kill for the damaged or they homes. work was hosted to a law still off to protest,

but is now resumed, causing anxiety amongst people. it's not just hydro power plants, dozens of freeways en route expansion projects underway in dispatch on ecosystem as india boost infrastructure development in the himalayas. environmental this are not by the scenes. they see this development comes at too high a cost. c and this is the price emani and communities have had to pay in the last 2 years alone, flash floods and lance lights have can hundreds of people in the states. if he monitored for these. with that, i could answer kids, environmental activist authors that he says, human activities are these devising the mountains, assisted with them to so may made up the most. i'm good talking to me, but loud at such a sensitive diamond climate is rapidly changing. blushes that is sitting in the ecologically sensitive month,

and you'll see so many lance lights. and yet they continue to last the hill to book construction, all these big projects and then a link to be very didn't get a spot generations to come or significant hilton, and then give us all the infrastructure development is a key element in india as close to read, it says it's on close to achieve its end of the coming to develop nation by 2047. the climate active a c. it's not sustainable. you get the credit on youtube climate change. all the infrastructure that is being doing mountains is being destroyed, even before it's completed. the impact of the link can be seen immediately. one doesn't even have to wait for the damaged 140. it will only get worse and future or the other, but hey, that was of the you is climate talks in azerbaijan, india, it has been telling while the nations that it has a right to develop but the people to see much see, the dispute is sounding to death no for them. and then the bottom it never drains

and they both move up to that that is out of feel good to me even if they are diagnosed. i should like to get the donate a motto of life and death. not just for the residents, but also for the home, the himalayas. and finally, a volcano has erupt in south western iceland, spewing fountains of lava and smoke the iceland meteorology meter, a logical offices that a nearby town of brenda. vic is being evacuated, adding that there is no threats to infrastructure. this is the 7th of rupture and of the same volcanoes, since last december to forego. just are reminder of the top story we're following for you today. british media are saying you create as fire the you case applied storm shot or missiles into russia. officials in chief in london have not yet confirmed. there is reports, storm shadows, or cruise missiles, with

a range of more than 250 kilometers. if you're watching dw news up next, it's conflict. so tim, sebastian time terry martin, thanks for watching. the
