that is a reality today for over a 1000000 ukrainians after another huge rush or an attack on their energy credit plunged large parts of the country into darkness. another escalation, moscow claims, as a response to western supply miss south heating russia. ukraine's critical infrastructure is one of let them your phones, favorites, targets, especially in winter. but today he went further threatening to strike government buildings in the capital, keep something that's until now. it's never happened and attempted show of strength as the russian economy shows increasing signs of weakness. nicole fairly cumberland and this is the day, the east greek shame is poor. but usually we do not exclude the use of a russian atkins against the military military industry facilities

or the decision making you sent us to instead of putting a notation in the statements. these blackmail is the expansion of war, and the threats of expansion of words calling back out is very horrible and scary. it's hard to work, the currency is week. it will be easier for the rest of the government to decrease the the deficit. the shortage of the deposit also coming up australia passes a law banning kids under 16 from social media. it's being hailed as a world leading legislation, but will it work? it's to make old people oh, these adults feel like they've done something. i mean, this is them is trying to tell young people how the internet should work.

welcome to the show. we started a day with threats and praise from vladimir potent speaking out of security conference and cossacks done the russian president said. he did not rule out targeting government buildings and keys with mosque as new hypersonic and myself. and while he's waiting for donald trump to move back into the white house, he's making sure to send messages in a language he knows lambs well with the president elect phrase of the events. he called trump a smart person capable of finding solutions. remember, trump promised to end the war and ukraine on day one, and many expect them to push keith to give in to russia's demands. of those comments followed another major russian aerial attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure grants as moscow fires, nearly $200.00 missiles and drones during the virus leaving more than a 1000000 households without power. vive powered by generators. after russia struck key energy infrastructure, leaving

a 1000000 residents in western ukraine without power. while a generator keeps things running at this bar, there are concerns. moscow will once again ramp up the tax on key facilities as the winter sets in the yeah, the codes are, i don't think there will be any blackouts, but we'll see like, is complicated. anything could happen. i hope they warranty a situation like in previous years when powell was out for a very long time, i think it will be easy and now power and water cuts also hit other parts. if you clean the salt also targeted odessa damaging several residential buildings. con. you for the debris was falling on my head to the but i threw it all on the floor. one breakeven hit me

directly in the face. all this, the kremlin size is retaliation after ukraine hit targets inside russian territory with us, the new k made long range missiles. president vladimir putin is now threatening to launch new hypersonic missiles at keys and elsewhere in ukraine. no, that's not. you didn't say that when you put a minute for significant target. we will use those means that are at our disposal. yeah. but from sort of cause no, we use clear, james, we do not develop the use of others. nick missiles against the military or young. the military industrial facilities via, via the very end it promotionally city for decision making, center, executive sure. including and key of if keystone keys is urging the international community to react to the threats. and we expect those countries that have

search everyone to a very expanding of the war to react to this statements waste by putting today or it is very important if we, if we treated fairly and these are the statements, these blackmail is the expense on the floor and the threats of expansion or for unacceptable ukraine says it's all the more reason for allies to ensure faster military aid. meanwhile, russia central bank is considering raising interest rates as a rule well, falls to its lowest level since the start of the war and ukraine. the currency has dropped sharply since the us impose sanctions on a string of russian banks involved in foreign trade. but president letterman fruit and says there's no reason to panic. the rubel has fallen to its lowest value against the dollar since the invasion of ukraine began in 2022. but the slide will

bring some benefits to the government because it currently is weak. it will be easier for the rest of the government to decrease the deficit the shortage of the deposit because of the payments. the payments with russia would be only a week robles and whatever the payments come from the rest of the next steps will be in the currency. and this is a natural tool for improving the shape of the box. you would have to have to press conference president, coach in a p and relaxed about the rubel at which you know, for there are many, many, many factors of a seasonal nature of salem. so in general, in my opinion, the situation is under control. that's comfortable and there's absolutely no ground . so panic. well, how can i say it sucks cuz nothing's pushed the session in yet. but the weakening currency is threatening to a rhodes, the purchasing power of the russian people. it would further increase the cost of

imported goods and could flare up already. runaway inflation to the full follows fresh us sanctions on gas from bank. the key comes with russians. energy revenues that'll make payments more complicated for european nation, still buying fossil fuels from russia. and i think that some of europe, young countries are going to suffer because they will have to find did you change all of the payment to does pro more 2 restrooms, oil companies, for deliveries, they'll refund the petroleum product. natural gas, georgia and hungry are already completed and that means they haven't made to they are looking for some of the bypasses to organize the payments to rush rushes central bank now such as pausing, foreign currency purchases in order to ease pressure on financial markets

to australia and our lawmakers have approved a world 1st law banning under 16 year olds from using social media. once introduced, the new legislation could see tech companies like tick tock, facebook and instagram. find up to $50000000.00 australian dollars. that's almost 31000000 euro. if they fail to comply, they've been given one year to work out how to implement the ban of the approval from australia. senate today followed a fierce debate in the country with critics claiming the new law has been rushed out and could push children towards the dark web. take, listen, we have heard the cries of families who are suffering and we cannot continue to allow this to happen. any longer, this bill is sorry, week is such

a vin the it's to make old people, oh, these adults feel like they've done something. it's a false sense of security. it's impossible. and we accept these cool governments to completely stop young people from accessing harmful products. so content, but we can help, we can help by asking the social media companies to play the role. and we can now talk to and level peer. she's the national technology reporter for australia is national broadcaster abc, welcome to the day. and now this is going to be the world's harshest social media legislation. how do people in australia feel about it? really depends that you ask is, i'm sure you can imagine you ask a lot of young people and i'm using at 10 pretty broadly. you know, people in the study, they're more likely to be critical of this bill. um, but then,

you know, you look at parents, you ask parents and i, you know, that this little really is pitched at them. it's for them. and they have very strong sense that something needs to be done here in the senate. i mean, you can see some of how that division has played out. the fact that you've got, you know, members of their i pod either. i'm sorry, you've got a tiny members crossing the flow to vote against the position of the on potty on this. so it really has a really has split the rooms so to speak. but it is not so divisive that it didn't gets for me, but it looks like there will be some exemptions. so what's the reasoning behind that? yes, uh, so there was a lot of, uh, consultation with some consultation anyway done in the run up to the drafting of this legislation. and really what the government says it's trying to do here is avoid capturing it educational platforms or health platforms. you know,

the kinds of apps that are have and now have a narrow use but will essentially that will and will essentially help teenagers that there is also another function to this exemption system that we get to get the full data dialogue that they want to essentially provide a good incentive for platforms to improve safety and, and not be bad on the 16th. so whether or not that happens for any of the key platforms, any of the very famous ones that we loved to talk about, you know, snap chad. instagram, facebook and antique talk remains to be seen. and i imagine it would be a quite a high bod that they had to create. but we, we, we don't have the details yet of what they would even need to do in order to achieve an exemption. so this is some of what the criticism was when it came to passing this bill. the criminal court is people saying, well, we don't have enough detail and this is all happening very, very quickly. critics are also saying that this law was rushed. why the urgency?

thank too well. 2 main reasons. um that bill was one is 30 something bills that was passed yesterday. it was the last day that was trying the empowerment was to this it this year. they wouldn't be back until 20252025 is an election year in australia. so there was a strong, uh, a strong wish to to get something over the line to get the specific bill over the line to the, the labor government. and there isn't much big ad reform pay supply when it comes to online safety. the main online safety law that we have here has been reviewed and re styled somewhat in the style of the use digital services active backed. but that is a much slow uh process. as you can imagine it's, it's a large reform. it's hard to say that we get through in time for the election. and

this gives the government something to point to and say, here is action. we know the community all concerned about this, particularly parents, and that you're anxious, maybe even desperate. and here's what we've done. yeah. but there are still big questions about the implementation of the law. let's listen to an industry spokes person from australia and then go back to you. barrow. fundamental questions that haven't been as it was the technical basis of this was the scott who have only gone to manage the unintended safety risks. but this will ties to young people who may be pushed to dock out, let's say pop the internet in their attempts to get online. that she does have some legitimate questions there. doesn't she? how do authorities plan to go about implementing the span a yea. and then not saying and in fantasies to the bill, it was never designed to, to be prescriptive in that respect. and it,

is it deliberately leaves a blank space where it, you know, you would otherwise be prescriptive about the technological means for implementing a bad. and it says very clearly, well this will be down to this will be down to platforms to, to work it out. of course, the rebuttal to that is that where this is being hosted platforms, in other jurisdictions, it hasn't been possible. or there been other challenges, of course the, the key challenge being privacy in that and really the early on side way to verify age online is to take someone's government issued id. and that does create privacy risk and you know what is often forgotten. and in this debate, is that you don't just asking young people to do that. and you're asking everyone who wants to visit the websites that we're talking about to do that. so yeah, it's a, it's, it's a huge privacy risk, and that's all the tent you know,

has the potential to be an enormous privacy risk. and that's something that's, yeah, but that's, that's something that's complicating the, the methodology question as well. does text or analyzed as low appear many thanks. it is still $53.00 days until donald trump takes over the white house, but his plans for new us terrace are already causing russians around the globe. today, the european central bank jeep christine la guard warned the you not to retaliate, but to cooperate with the incoming administration to avoid a trade war. and donald trump hasn't announced harris against the e. u, at least not yet. but this week he showed he was ready to play hardball with america's biggest reading partners by threatening has the taxes on chinese imports, as well as a 25 percent tariff on canada. and mexico is where the outgoing president joe biden

had to say about the situation as job i'm there. and the pressure on mexico in particular, is intensifying not just on terrorist, but also on the issue of immigration. after a phone call with mexican president claudio shane bomb trump claim she'd promised to stop migration through mexico and into the united states effectively closing the us southern border. a shame bone was quick to downplay that claim, saying she had no intention of closing the border. and mexico was already handling the flow of migrants of the blended by seeing them in a, hey,

i look goes all of this to president trump, who because he and i told him that the carol then the to before, to in his most from this stuff to him, well, the caravan is not really going to reach the northern border. it does it say we have a strategy in our country where it's being taken care of. you know, he evidently recognized this effort is what so because it's betsy and laura carlson is a director of the americas program for the center for international policy and mexico . so be great to see you again. lauren now and trump declaring that mexico will close the border, seems like another mexico will pay for the wall. doesn't that? what do you read into the different versions given of this phone call as well? i think it all starts with a power play on the part of donald trump. he comes out and announces tariffs on mexico and canada and china. but we're gonna focus here on mexico,

on the 1st day of his administration. if mexico doesn't cracked um on immigration and on illegal drugs coming into the country. and so then there's this exchange intense exchange yesterday between the 2 presidents and president cloudy, assign them comes out and says, we are going to continue with our own policies. we are already cooperating. and for every tariff that'd be another terrace. so then trump realize has been stood up to and they have a call and then he comes out on his social media. you know, truth social cuz he's been kicked off other social media that require regulation regarding truth and, and basic respect and says that he won. so now the situation is that, so the assignment comes back and says, no, of course i did not say that we would close the border. we are building bridges.

that's our strategy with immigration. and so trump is just kind of ignoring that part of it it's, it's a power play, it's didn't measuring each other size in each other up. and i think what's really going to happen is that when trunk goes into office, he's going to say he won in this 1st round with the mexican government. he's not going to impose the terrace because he knows that the tariffs would be negative for the united states. mm hm. we'll get to the tariff and a 2nd. i do want to focus on migration for, for a 2nd longer, because during is campaign, trump of course, promise over and over to the port, millions of illegal immigrants, now law and logistics aside if that is possible, can you see mexico being a willing partner in that undertaking, you know, mexico is not going to be on the board with mass deportations for a number of reasons. first of all, it's against it's principles to see the partition or to see it progression itself

as a negative thing for the society. even though it has buckled to demands of the trumpet ministration, and the by the ministration in terms of enforcement within its own territory over the past years. secondly, obviously it affects negative lee millions of families that are in the united states. and so they're preparing their conflicts to attend to these families. they're trying to protect their rights and their assets in this whole process. nobody knows how far this is really going to go in terms of mass deportation. some say it will start with criminal, some say it will start with a limited way. you know, you mentioned the problems that are, are very real in terms of the cost and the infrastructure that, that requires not to mention the impact on the us economy. so mexico will do what it has to and the question again comes to given its dependency on the united states, on the united states economy,

how much donald trump will attempt to force its hand in terms of blocking immigration here. they talked in the last phone call about the care of them that's coming up and you said the caribbean will not arrive at the border with the caravans. having arrived at the border for many years now, because they are dispersed within mexico. and this is actually led to a mass violation of human rights. and so there's some push back in mexico as well to these draconian enforcement measures that don't take into account the humanitarian and the human rights situation of the migrants himself. yeah, the term says the tears are in retaliation for illegal immigration, for one, but also for crime and drugs coming across the border. so i'm doesn't think those are her problems to fix the she, you know, and she has said so very clearly, she said you have a serious problem with consumption of prohibited drugs in your country. and we are

willing to help with that. we recognize that as the human tragedy, the amount of overdose death set are taking place because because of fentanyl, but there's as, but there's fentanyl coming from the united states from china. there's precursor tech chemicals coming from other countries. and this is not all our fault, and we are in agreement with having cooperation, but not taking the total blame for this and the same with immigration. you have to fix your regression system. it's a part of your economy. we are doing what we can here. but these are problems that are inherent to the mexican, to the us, excuse me, society. so, the immigration policies in the united states have always been handled as domestic policy even when they involve returning large numbers of people to mexico. mexico has virtually no say in what those policies are. and now the president is standing up to donald trump and saying we either do this together,

or we could even end up in a trade for. exactly, that would have been my last question to you. are we hurdling towards a trade war here? because she has said that she will respond in kind to any terrorist imposed on mexico that i don't think we are, but this is all gonna depend on how far donald trump goes with this threat right now with his declaration that he won this 1st round. it seems to, so he's preparing to say on january 20th, is not a gratian day that mexico has given into all his demands regarding enforcement, and that therefore he doesn't have to impose tara, this is what happened in 2019. basically when he also threatened to 25 percent tariff with the big difference that at that time, mexico actually did cave to demands. and we ended up with the remaining mexico program. in this case,

it looks like the president's been very clear that they will continue with their own policies with the level of cooperation that exists currently, which is actually working in the sense of a drop of almost 40 percent in arrivals of immigrants at the border. and there hasn't been in the announcement of a major change if trump insist on going forward with this. he has to take into account that those tariffs actually affect us importers of mexican goods. and that the united states is the number one s border to the united states. the, i'm sorry, the mexico is the number one export or to the united states. it's a number to one trade partner in general. so the stakes are very high and it's unlikely that he's gonna risk an economic interference of his 1st day of office. yeah. unless it goes economy minister has compared the prospect of a 25 percent tariff to shooting itself in the foot on behalf of the us. that was

laura carlson. thank you so much. always great speaking to you. thank you. and that is almost our time, but we don't want to let you go before wishing everyone are watching us from the united states and our american viewers around the world. happy thanksgiving. the name of our entire team here in berlin. i want to thank you for your continued trust and your company, insurance engaged, stay informed, and stay in touch. you can always reach out to us on social media. our handle, there is the, the, we need to take care the
