this is read the writing you with free information. these are, will you made for mind the the state of the news coming to live from berlin, ukraine's allies loose and that restrictions on the use of western weaponry and keep takes advantage reports just ukraine has fired further storm shadow cruise missiles into russia for the 1st time this comes just a day after it used us made attack and strike targets deeper inside brush up. also coming up delegates at the global climate conference and as 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. and one of the richest men in asia indicted on fraud charges the us issues and arrest for and for indian

billionaire. what time of donnie accusing him of bribing indian officials to secure renewable energy contracts. the lo, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. british media reporting for the 1st that for the 1st time ukraine has fired u. k. supplied storm shadow missiles into russia. neither ukraine nor britain have confirmed those reports with say, 12 of the missiles were fired into course. that's a border region, partially filled by ukrainian forces. storage shadows are longer range cruise my missiles developed jointly by the u. k. and friends. they are launched from fighter jets and have a range of more than 250 kilometers. while ukrainian defenses are struggling to old in the are told in the countries east with russian troops slowly

advancing across broad sections of the front lines. moscow is pressing its advantage in manpower against exhausted. ukrainian troops rushing themselves and droned. attacks of devastated cities in crucial infrastructure just as winter sets in. let's take a look at the mounting 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 expanding, 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 thin trying to

repel the assaults. since april when russia ramped up frontline efforts, moscow's forces have taken hundreds of square kilometers of ukrainian territory, village by village aiming to take their strategic city of the cross, 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. i and 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 ukraine is running low on soldiers and equipment, russia has increased its production of tanks and muscles, despite that 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's seized in august in the caustic region, a potential bargaining chip in future cease fire negotiations. and the recent us decision 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 russia back for make a deal. earlier i spoke about this with military analyst prank language. i asked him for his assessment of where things stand now on the front lines and ukraine. so it's all about tucker, observe, miss sile, so i'd be national. what have you, but the central gravity of this will, the key element is that's elements of attrition. both in terms of recovery or capture 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 their post set 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 taking daily of these towns and cities are mentioned. well, just to be uh, put cross golf course products. these are coming under increasing pressure with russian soldiers already in trust. it'd be all supposedly to risk of course. so daily the prices are coming under pressure of, most importantly, daily that losing people. we hear the west talking about all these restroom casualties. that's not to get to you credit is that taking casualties to barrels under pressure. there are these oceans of course, and they're both sides to be for the 2nd on the crating solving. so not central gravity of people on the traceable ukrainians are just a bit of pressure all across the front. ukraine is struggling to feel as ranks on the eastern front line, not least because of a sharp spike in desertion, says frank punch, in more than 30000 cases, have been registered this year alone. this has prompted the government to

criminalize the offense for 1st time offenders allowing them to avoid a jail term if they go back the w. namisha. judge, well reports for 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 for the gone to fort them and certainly have spot. he says, oh you oh, into the war. he handed his weapons to his commando and left my little brother. 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 apart from my brother and mother, but i have no one else, wasn't any money. for example, i had no lead the way to apply to go his come on to had to, to bought 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 10 cases of absence without

leave have triple so far the feel in august, the ukraine involvement, decriminalized steel fence for 1st time offenders if that a to and to fight that into towards the end of now he's trying to join the 47th brigade which is actively reaching out to dessert of 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 to be soldiers. she says she's heard it all. men who knew the well being sent to the debts, men who had breakdowns, mental simply wanted to go home after 2 years on the front desk going to be the thong. it is difficult to go into battle against a tank or artillery. when you realize that you have no artillery support behind you, when you realize that you have one between 8 and 2 will have magazines. this suicide. this is just suicide. we won't support the single boost

decriminalized vision. she says was the only option ease of course, and from there was such a large number of these crimes better than a military unit and assertion that they did not have time to process all of them see corporate to walk. so case case has made it to this court and keep as he was called joining a random documents checklist over to your office to he left his position on the front line. he was serving in the opportunity unit in comic tours, struggling with tronic back pain. 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 jobs. he didn't tell his mother that he had devoted. when the police stopped and arrested him, he did not resist, isn't it? it was another robert, another band is not a murderer. now i will go to fight just to be honest. i have no regrets if i lived

a little. and now my one wishes to see my mother and sister more to assist the judge vaughn. so get permission to rejoin the ministry and avoid prosecution. he must have done within 72 hours. he tells us why he think so many people leave. quote, use the command. you don't care anymore. they don't go to the front line with us. just a far away from us, only a few go with their unit. is already what time only returning for my family to. 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 that she had sam. yeah. could

be more useful leaving your unit is a stigma for a minute. remind one up a when of a corner is whatever the task is assigned to a unit. and this allows us to, we have to get it out loud enough so that you have no matter if a man, but does us the unit is wounded or dies to move, or maybe it's sort of door. so when our task has to be carried out by a smaller number of people, so we feel the pressure is through the document, which while the papers out on the condo, acknowledges this. yep. let's get through what i did was wrong. i left the boys, but i didn't sleep any combat positions. you was pretty. it was just a personal situation. well, they felt like it was an injustice. i didn't want to let them down, but i still left full office. so it's agree that things need to change. they tell us more bits of leave, more medical attention and better communication. we'll have all the critics on the says he's ready to get back to the front of the he skid, which says he's focusing on a vision of the future score. i a,

the soon we will be going to keep to celebrate the victory. forgive that there will be a parade all the boys with me, and we will go to, to kind of island to griddisca bob's for. yeah, that's is, that's my dream. because say, music, i, me, stuff. meanwhile, nato is holding its largest. every artillery exercise in europe, 5000 troops have gathered along the lines as eastern flank 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 long border with russia. french cesar, how it serves swedish archers. american multiple launch record systems firing and it called in a to the efforts to prevent any forces from reaching a light troops. this is the scenario of the dynamic front 25 exercise here and

finished optic territory. when we come together, is it knighthood? force 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 full energy. if 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 crush 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 depths taking place only 130 kilometers or so from the russian border. finish con scripts are supporting nato troops with logistics. the main defender is still us, defending auto sales. nato is a big help in that. yes,

and that gives us ideas 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 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 of the get 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 with how united audio lies. and with donald trump in the white house and natives 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 look 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 will see swimming was oh fuck no, i'm not worried about a lot. yeah, we are very sorry. you don't very valued. shoot you calm and self confidence.

that's how the tillery man and mountain years wants to appearance in lens. 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 now to the comp $29.00 climate conference in buck who azerbaijan talks there are deadlocks, 2 days before the event is due to end. the sticking point is the funding that is supposed 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 of need and where it's supposed to come from usually on a 4 and how much time is following the climate talks in baku, 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, i'm 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 you have time of finance targets and i'm, 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 in 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 bone so. 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. and 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 that the

private sector pays an important role. and, and, and that all of these should be included in this new collective quantified goal and, and that others, 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 still count 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,

what are the world's richest people, indian billing, their glosson adoni has been indicted on multiple counts of fraud in the united states. the criminal charges are related to the legs roll in a scheme to bribe officials in india, prosecutor safety and other senior executives paid more than $250000000.00 to win contracts for his renewable energy company. is a down a group who has put out a statement, calling the allegations baseless the. well, joining me here in the studio is the w business reporter steven beardsley. so it's very high texture these charges, steve, how big of the cases this to i'd say it's quite big. given the prominence of a donnie goes to mcdonny and the political connections to political residents. this has, as you mentioned, he was briefly one of the richest men in the world. he's still up there pretty far, not as high as he was. and that's following, we should mention as of right now, because all of his companies are actually seeing their shares, the listed ones,

the shares are plummeting because of this news. the a dining group for those who don't know is essentially a massive conglomerate in india that has many smaller businesses than working every we think from agriculture to infrastructure. and worldwide, people might know the company for building ports, airports, electrical supplies, systems in place as far as bangladesh to, to, to kenya, to vietnam. so he's quite active. and that's what makes us even more interesting is that these are criminal charges coming out of the us. and a dining here is one of 7 who is charged. another one is charged as his nephew, in fact that they're all related to this group into one of the sub companies. and this really at the center of this is a massive solar panel or a solar project in india that the group was trying to get underway. and it wasn't commercially viable at the rates. they wanted the energy to be bought out. and so they turn to, under the allegations, they turn to bribes, they bride their way through the us to get it accepted from a state own energy buyer and then from individual indian states that had to pass on

those costs to customers. now where the us comes in is that this project was touted to us investors. they raise money out of the us pointing to this project and saying this is going to earn a profit over 20 years of $2000000000.00. and so that is securities fraud, was interesting. investigators say they have phone messages, text e mails, even powerpoint presentations. well, so it's got residents in the us, but particularly in india to let's listen to what any of the opposition leader rel gundy. uh, he said he's been talking about this and he's made references to administer moody, a prime minister, and the render modi in relation to this case. prime minister is predicting mr. dunny and the prime minister, his invoke incorruption with mister rani, this has been clearly indicated. are quite some allegations there. steve, a leveled at india's prime minister. what are the political implications of this

case in india? i would say the quite serious, i mean, the opposition has used this connection for a while to really point out that there is something one affair is going on. we do know that there is a connection. moody has flown on private jets, owned by a donnie. a donnie has accompanied modi to various diplomatic visits. after which many cases you would receive project contracts and some of those countries. and we also know that he received the contract to re develop a massive slum and moved by recently. so opponents point out a lot of this and say you are connected to a multi mode or you were connected to a donny. and now that their criminal charges against a donnie, that connection is going to be pressed even further. on top of that, they're unnamed officials within india in this a diamond who allegedly took bribes. there's going to be a lot of interest to find out who these figures were and to have the names finally to which mentioned that all of those were charged are denying their involvement in these charges, potentially explosive. steve, thank you so much. our business reporter state beardsley. well as one of the

fastest growing economies in the world, india is having to balance the rush to expand its energy and transport infrastructure with a need to protect its environment. dw use shadow yelled out the travel to tar icon in the himalayas to explore india's development dilemma. the mighty indian him ali, as source of life for millions and indispensable for the woods climate to bring with them has consequences is denise loan and his wife had been living dangerously in the himalayan town of to see much hundreds of homes. he'll have developed cracks, leaving them uninhabitable. the government will swap and everything, the government tripping part about what's happening here. if you think of it nature, there will be damage. that is development, defense, or 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 that option. this hydro power plant that you see down there has been under construction, uncontroversial 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 forwarded 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 and vote expansion projects underway in this flat drawing ecosystem as india boost infrastructure development in the himalayas environmental list by the scenes. they see this development comes at to high cost and this is the price emani and communities have to pay in the last 2 years

alone, flash floods and lens nights have can hundreds of people in the states of how much are produced. what's that? i couldn't answer kids, environmental activist authors, so the says human activities are the stabilizing the mountains. i say somebody them to some a made up the most i'm gets that going to be, but law has at such a sensitive diamond. climate is rapidly changing glitches that is sitting in the ecological lea sensitive month, and you'll see so many lance lights. and yet they continue to last the hill 12 construction, all these big projects. and then the link will be very didn't get a spot and generations to come are 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. it's a, i'll be coming to develop nation by 2047, the climate activist c. it's not sustainable. i get the decry did on youtube

climate change, all the infrastructure that is being really killing mountains is being destroyed even before it's completed, the impact of the link and to be seen immediately. one doesn't even have to wait for the damaged 140. if we only get worse in the future or the other, but hey, that was at the you is climate adults in azerbaijan. india has been telling, well, the nations that it has a right to develop. but the people to see must see. the dispute is founding the death no for them and the bottom and able to trains, they both move up to that is out of feel good to me even if they die. it means that i should try to get to donate a matter of life and death, not just for the residents, but also for the home. the humanity is you are watching dw news up next. we've got eco, india for you looking at how indians are trying to embrace a low carbon lifestyle, of course,
