no one should have to make up your own mind. dw, may 4 mines the and this is the, the news coming to live from berlin, ukraine's allies loose and the restrictions on the use of western weaponry. and keep takes advantage. reports suggest ukraine has fired british storm shadow cruise missiles into russia for the 1st time. this car was just the day after it used us play the track of strikes targets deeper inside russia. also coming up hopes for a truce and the war between israel and has all of us officials say there's progress and peace negotiations. even this, the finding shows no signs of slowing down and delegates the global climate conference in the us or by john are running out of time to help 4 countries pay for the impacts of global warming. for some nations,

the shortfall is already an existential threat. the little em. 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. neither ukraine nor britain have confirmed those reports which say 12 with missiles were fired into course. that's a border region, partially held by ukrainian forces, storm shadows, bar longer range, cruise missiles developed jointly by the u. k. and friends are launched from fighter jet. so have a range of more than 250 kilometers. while you creating defenses are struggling to hold in the countries east with russian troops slowly advancing across broad sections of the front lines. moscow is pressing its advantage in man power against

exhausted ukrainian troops rushing themselves and droned attacks of devastated cities and critical infrastructure. just as winters that's in, let's look at the mounting pressure. ukraine is under and how long it can hold off russian forces as 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 rammed 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 crops would make it much easier for russia to make more gains in the east. meanwhile, ukraine is struggling to defend its front lines and following morale. 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. if they will cut, i think we will lose, of course, any way we will stay, we will fight. we have our production, but it's not enough to prevail. and i think it's not enough to survive while you

frame is running low on soldiers and equipment. russia has increased its production of tanks and muscles, despite its staggering losses 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 cost region, a potential bargaining chip in future cease fire negotiations. and the recent us decision to allow ukraine to fire longer range attack them as missiles seen here in file footage into russia may make it easier to hold that territory by russia has mast about 50000 troops in the region, including about $10000.00 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 russia back for make a deal to a while ago and spoke about this with military analyst prank language. i asked him for his assessment of where things stand on the front lines in ukraine. so it's all about tucker, observe, 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 or 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 a, it's, it's up, it's dave,

a lot is big taking daily of these towns and cities mentioned, well, just to be a cross golf course products. these are coming under increasing pressure with russian. so it is already in trust. it'd be all supposedly tourette's course, so daily the credits are coming under pressure of most importantly, daily that losing people. we hear the west talking about all these rest and casualties. that's not to get to you credit is that taking casualties to barrels under pressure? there are these oceans across and they're both sides to be for the 2nd of the trade in solving. so not central gravity of people under traceable fed ukrainians are just a bit of pressure all across the front. us down to the middle east, where a top us diplomat is hoping to seal a deals to halt israel's military operations in lebanon, us and boy, almost hosting met with toppling lebanese officials in bay route on wednesday. fueling optimism for a ceasefire between the militant group has paula and israel,

but hosting still has to convince is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to go along with a truce proposal. fresh hope a breakthrough to end. the fighting between israel and hezbollah could be within reach. us envoy amos hochstein, reported progress after more talks with lebanon's, parliament speaker, who is leading mediation efforts on behalf of the militant group. so i just concluded another meeting with speaker barry. the meeting today built on the meeting yesterday and made additional progress. so i will travel from here in a couple hours to israel, to try to bring us to a close if we can, if we can. israel's more with hezbollah escalated in september, its military ramped up air strikes and launched the ground incursion into lebanon in a bid to put an end to relentless rocket fire from the around fact militant group.

since then, celebrities health ministry says more than 3500 people have been killed, has been law, has seen its leadership decimated, edit supply of arms, greatly reduced. could us back to peace proposal would create a un buffer zone in southern lebanon. we thought is really troops and has bluff fighters withdrawing. has been lost as it has reviewed the plan, but that its success depends on the is rarely prime minister. a look on thursdays heavy. what do we expect these negotiations to produce a cease fire and a halt? to aggression quickly shut the city yet. no one can guarantee that because the issue is linked to these really responds, i really wasn't and nothing else was of series. yes, i left the, the phone has nothing. yeah. israel has demanded that the freedom to respond to violations by hezbollah, be part of any potentials these fire deal. a us convoy hochstein is due to discuss

the proposal with prime minister benjamin netanyahu on thursday. take a look at a few other stories making headlines around the world today. united states as veto to un security council resolution calling for an immediate cease fire in gauze because it did not call for the release of hostages. the council voted $14.00 to $1.00 in favor, but the us be to veto meant it was not adopted. one of the world's richest people, indian billionaire. what time got done a has been indicted on multiple counts of fraud in the us. the criminal charges are related to here's the, let's role with a scheme to bribe officials in india, prosecutor say he and other senior executives paid more than $250000000.00 to win contracts for his renewable energy company and a major storm his bathroom, the northwest united states killing at least 2 people,

downing trees and power lines. hundreds, thousands of presidents in washington state were left without power. authorities of issued warnings for heavy mountain snows, dangerous flash flooding, and bronx lines talks at the cop $29.00 climate conference and bucko. otherwise you on our deadlocked 2 days before the event is due to end. the 2nd point is funding to help poor countries address the impacts of climate change. a new draft declaration has been released that includes 2 options, but it's suggesting around a trillion dollars per year. rich in developing countries, remain par parts on the exact amount needed and where it will come from dw, usually on the phone, how much time is following the climate talks. and by cou, i asked her if there's any progress in reaching a deal on climate funding. as well, yes or no. yes. uh and you negotiating text you mentioned it just dropped to much

later than we anticipated. but still, um, because we have to remember we had 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 at time of finance targets. and um, you know, the text as it stands right now shows how much work is yet to be done. and how far it goes, users are still from agreeing to a compromise because there's basically 2 options and the text one that 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 needed. but there is a big x in front of such a balance. 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 are long hours of negotiations ahead. why is it proving so difficult for delegates there to

find a middle ground on those climate change funds? well, i mean i'm at, 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 contentious issues. 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 climate finance. and the private sector plays an important role. and, and, and that all of these should be included in this new connective 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 in terms of what countries. because what developed countries have been saying is that they want countries like china or india and still counts under these un classifications as developing countries to step up and contribute as well. um, now these countries obviously saying that that they shouldn't, and that's developed countries are, you know, the ones that's sort of have cost to start to you most emissions and it should be a step up to that responsibility and provide the finance and, and yeah, we are now midway through the conference and still at the point that basically we were asked before before the conference as well. so right. somebody had pre, we're gonna have to leave with their deed. nobody's letting me fund how much time reporting from back to thank you very much. now have you ever looked to the piece of modern origins scratched your head? well, get this in new york,

a banana tape to the wall has just sold the sotheby's auction for $6200000.00. now the piece and titled comedian is by the tally and artist more reach your content long. it was bought by crypto currency entrepreneur, justin son who beat out a handful of other bitters, sunset, he intended to eat, his multi $1000000.00 investment sometime over the next few days. before we go, just a reminder of the top story that we're following for you here. today on dw news, british media are saying that ukraine has fired the u. k. supplied storm shadow themselves into russia. officials in keep and london have not yet confirmed those reports. storms, storm shattered spark cruise missiles, with a range of more than 200 to, to hello the coming up next here on the w news is
