so me, the you spoke about the troops, russian troops who run away from sea. yeah. yeah. i don't know what, what, what are the ones who hit me where the war and what, what are you asking? so what my, my question all the tools or what, what, why it's why is going on this way? because all the troops full contents are me now mostly is on our territory in ukraine. more than 600000 people mall. of course the last at all today. last about 700000. maybe 800000 us. yes. about this? yes. but mostly the most strong. he lost but he has lots and you see

now north koreans, 12000 are in the region of course collision. it's the russian region. yes. basically 80. so i didn't know what number and from what countries else he was involved. but this is a weakness for them. that's what i shared with it. pop is during all this war that's believe us trust us. we see what's going on, we see his weakness. we seek his army, know he's, he's strong only because he can speak about nuclear weapons and he uses a lot of me, silas. yes, i but without d, t is of you countries in china and etc. because even for good, these me size. so everybody a little bit help discussion. that's why what do we need to put in the song functions and to do our job? well, the cost of good that situation is,

you know why they run away the same like we do. i've never seen africa and ended cetera. all of this because the war in ukraine because he moved all his army to ukraine. and that's what we wanted to show when it was very dangerous for our region. the name is who meant and when we knew that he want to talk to by the new region, that's why we went through the board, the dakota scription. but wanted to show that all his armies in our parents and all of this else, i'm not strong, not well trained. the question that for him is, doesn't matter how many victims, how many federal just, how many desk people, that's just, that's it. if i understood correctly. okay, well 3 during police that was ukraine's president for the is the landscape. this speaking at

a summit of the unit is in brussels today, and we can go now to bottles where bill chief, i, some of phenomena standing by sea has also listened to the end skis. a comments um quite a wide range of, of, of topics that that ends be covered in that press conference where he was asking them to answer any journalist questions. what are your main takeaways from us? of the well, i think it was quite interesting to see that he did not start his press conference with any remarks he went straight into the questions of the journalist gather the end. the 1st question was an interesting why one because he was asked about potential fi, oppose, or a ceasefire at christmas. that was floated by the hum. give him 5 minutes to victor, all buttoned presidency. lensky was very blunt about that, saying that victor,

all bun does not have any mandates to negotiate whatsoever. and that, because he's relations with to russia with love, he may have who are too warm as a to close. as a presidency. lensky put it's a and you could really tell that he was not very happy about dig to all bunch floating this idea. he also stressed that goes without saying that's putting does not show any willingness to 4 talks or, or a to agree on any kind of a pause or ceasefire. and then of course, he went on talking about the topics that were here on the agenda, and one of them being the air defense systems that ukraine needs right now. he also is said that um, europe needs to speak in a united voice when it comes to the ukraine. do you get the feeling that you are

getting closer to speaking with the united voice? well when we look at the hungry or even at slovakia, both countries are quite critical of the war in ukraine hungry has been trying repeatedly to block the use age for ukraine. so of course, the answer has to be that europe doesn't seem to be united on how to continue supporting ukraine. but here we're just talking about 2 countries. the rest of them 25 countries are supporting ukraine, are standing by kiff and promising to support key if, as long as it takes and you are so far has been also able to agree on financial and military age for ukraine. but of course, you have to and understand how to that it really depends on your maybe historical

experience or on the geographical situation of your country because of countries that consider themselves frontline stage like poland for instance, all the baltic states. they fear that if you, crean falls, they could be next, so they once do whatever it takes to support to ukraine. and when you take a look at other countries paying, for instance, in southern europe, you understand that they don't see this, this kind of urgency. the don't feel so much threatened by a restaurant, it's actions as others in eastern europe. me. now when you say that's a government city across eastern europe, a worried that the countries could be next on the food is target. this is the pressure inside the e. you've coming from these eastern european states and the baltic states, going to help to force events get to get more weapons. well,

they have been helping ukraine, get more weapons or, and more support from the start of the rush of war on ukraine. arguing that it's important for europe to continue with that support. starting in january, poland will take over the use rotating presidency, and then of course, they will try to convince the others to do more and it's only to support you click and but also to invest more money on in uh, on the sands in general, in europe. because of course, many who are concerned that when donald trump takes office and next generally january, that's a europe must be asked to do more to support ukraine. dad's donuts from may and the sides to uh, to not to reduce the u. s. support for ukraine. so this is also

a topic that leaders have been discussing secure and brussels abrazzo spirit g, but i some of them and they're reporting. thank you very much. thank you. and to some of the news now, the husband of his ed pelley sold a french woman at the center of the most rape trial. the shop, the world has been sentenced to the maximum time of 20 years in prison is 60 co. defendants were given jail times ranging from 3 to 15 years. less than prosecute as have demanded living cause she's pretty close, etc, had never requested. it's making the case public, although it was an ordeal for my husband, dominique repeatedly drugs and raped for almost 10 years as invited audits to join in. so pretty cool, appealed full harmony in society is equally on this. when i opened the doors to this trial on the 2nd of september of last year,

i wanted society to be able to understand the proceedings. i have never regretted that decision because i now have confidence in our collective ability to grasp a future in which everyone are women and men alike. and she can live in harmony with mutual respect and down and understanding respect. is that going to be? i'm sure. thank you very much. i. this is a political speaking that the w as easily has been uh, the quote in the french city of albany on has more well, uh, as you mentioned, she said that she didn't regret it to wave how right to a know me t. i'm not so so because she wanted society to listen in to what was said in the court room, because she thought that was important for society. she wanted to go, you know, to stand as an example. and she also added that she believed in

a back to fits or so to say, she said, i believe that we can together build a future where women and men live together in harmony in mutual respect. now that the judges have convicted all 51 defendants in the smallest way trial and has done a number of present sentences tell us more. but as you said, the prison sentences go from 3 years to 15 years. so the co q co convicted. and it's 20 years of prison, full dominique, political, the mazda mind of the judge, what the, the judge is, believe, who's the mazda 9th of, of the semester, right? that has happened over 10 years. now. prosecutors had asked for highest sentences and lots of people, those who were demonstrating in front of the schools hayes since early in the morning. they were also hoping for very tough sentences. so that this cool case could maybe mark a water side and show people kind of just not

a case to write. we meant right people and that they will not steps away with that but have to go to prison and for a long time. so many people here today, i see disappointed with these sentences. now this, it has this case change the debate in france over sexual violence. i think absolutely, and i people have been really watching what's happening, what's been happening at the court room. the media, french media has been taking over his life what was discussed inside on a day to day basis. and it's also been reported on of obviously, across the world. and it has to be got a debate here in front. you know, it's not sure if that will lead to immediate change right away. but also the stock of this trial, the government reinstate, is a commission on a chemical submission leg by one member of parliament and once tended to. and that

will now work on possibly concrete suggestions. as for example, you know, setting up statistics for how many women are actually submitted to chemical semester. and that is in a rape under the influence of drugs. something else they want to work on is better training for health professionals, for example. you know, it's really what happens here with just that city for over 10 years to histone chain. lots of signs actually that health profession is sort of picked up on like, you know, memory last spring, ty, at over time, i'm actually something tasks, you know, needs to be improved back to training for health professionals. is one of the objective commission for funding reporting from albany. all. thank you lisa. that's have a look at some of the other stories in the headlines today. french president, the mon way of my call has arrived in the overseas territory in my office to assess the damage from psych loan,

she told troops of handling all the food and water to victims of the most powerful storm to hit the island in 90 years. hundreds of people i said that us health officials have confirmed the 1st known case of severe but flu contracted by a person in the us. the virus is spreading through the farm animal populations and the governor of california. how's the clad and emergency the russians? presidents that important has been holding his annual news conference in moscow state media set the public sent in 2000000 questions. put in said russia was not defeated in syria despite the overthrow of the outside regime. pushing also said he had not spoken to donald trump and over 4 years and, but he's ready to talk to you crowds, president, for the music landscape. pushing also claim that rush, i would be ready for a miss all dual into you in ukraine to test it's new arrest making myself against

weston missile. defense systems, schon stuff. there's no chance to shoot down these missiles be just that i get what's deputy that's going to let you name some object. one thing here for me and concentrate all their air defense and missile defense forces. there seems to be a huge football people and we will hit it with the direction of the audio and see what happens. so think we are ready for such an experimental more experiment to get to is the other side. ready? got totally wasted us. full of must be a g theory research, so joins me now. you re, um, how do you view these comments from pretend to test the arrest, make ms south against ukraine's west and supplied defenses as well that has this response was given to every mark, the west, west clay beings. it's put in slate. us, you go back on in the blankets to granville ask me style wasn't in fact an old and the style is it has just been slightly modified. so put an argue,

it says its own new weapons. all i feel is the development of the old bonds and then she said what they had, it sounded to me quite spontaneous, not like a specific plan, but it could be understood as a signal to the best to made. the 1st of all is that the rush of wouldn't stop find firing or do you credit no matter how many invest in defense systems are working, very important is determined to keep fighting in ukraine and now how much of fortunes speed so on. so is what dedicated to you crime? oh, pretty much you paid was one of the, of course, significant parts they put in a sat. is that the situation? what's fundamentally changing in favor for that off an army don't boss? when asked when russia would find them to recapture well, re gains that off and region of course, because that was occupied by the pagan army putting didn't wants to give a specific date. he simply promised that everything would be done properly and 3 kept charts for me. is this as

a signal is that the pick up to over the course region is not going as planned and asked on the piece with you create and put in was rejected to the short term sees 5, because in his opinion, ukraine is not ready for one it because russia $13.00 q south basically putting repeated the same fee of this ukraine has namely that's the other side with only got the force us power is a ceasefire just to fight even hold on while that clearly being a bit of a p aust on the, uh, does it really need that? how much support does put in still have as well? what can we cons, reliably say, how many? uh, how about how much support uh, put in has about what we can say something about how russians feel about as of what ukraine and the independent brushing opinion research, nevada sent us. and so that's one of 5 russians would also put in when the war wheels and, and this question was mentioned most frequently followed by the question about improving leading standards. given that the russia is going to spend 40 percent of

its budget on military and security the next to get and not on social benefits. so people are pretty concerned about their living standards that's by putting also spoke to combine, to load the ball, to the economic situations about bought surprises and so on. and so one, thank you very much. do we rush that to that? israel has carried out as strikes in human targeting ports and the energy infrastructure controlled by who's the rebels. these way the military said it's conducted to waves of the tax reports in the admin. say 9 people killed the who, the so backed by ron of launched hundreds of miss off as a israel in the last year and attacked shipping in the red sea. when we go up, elizabeth campbell is the middle east expert and the president of goods and college

at cambridge university in the okay. and she told us more about these, these really strikes of this strikes are very significant because they all the time that israel has now struck pc talk. it's in the oven, we 1st saw strikes in july, and then again in september. and now again, this morning, what that tells us is that israel is going back in all the every single time, but a yeah. so he's, he's a worry of continue that missiles and drains don't stop israel baseball. however, they're not present terry, because he's, he's continuing to assist in that attack the message that israel is trying to get the crow, but nowhere is too far for us to reach. nothing is off limits, not even civilian infrastructure is simply not the tyrant that he's, he's now, according to military official, this strikes what a pre planned response to months of who's the aggression a tell us more about the,

who's the attacks against israel, of the fathers use these have launched those 200 missiles against israel and all nice different many drives about 170 drugs. not many of them actually getting through the is there any defense systems, but some of them do and of course, is real, hasn't 0 tolerance policy. but this isn't the only sent the pages of doing, of course, ever since november last year. they've also been in launching attacks against shipping in the red sea, which is positioned as the who sees defending garza palestine against israeli attacks on that for taking it out on the ship. sponsor israel, put on allies of israel. so the youth is now are in a slight stronger position awfully because the taking more of a leadership role with in iran circled access of resistance. now that many of those

other members have been oh, but decimated skis of these are, for example, hezbollah and 11 on the defenders of the south region in syria. and of course, a mass itself in gaza, not to mention iran. now is there other has also been criticized for tactic human human rights. watch say some of the strong, separate, disproportionate and also affected civilians will to take yes. is there a few strikes on the, on a farm or damage in then it's similar as strikes had been conducted since january by the united states. also some of them in conjunction with the united kingdom. of course, over $25000.00 strikes, launched by so has a rapier against them. and, and 7 of the last decade, 70 is of the last decade during which civil war has raged in yemen. but is really strikes of by some estimates about 25 times more damaging on infrastructure and on life and those other strikes. this is important because human is in

a crisis situation is a 90000000 of its population. that's about 2 thirds of the population needs humanitarian aid, and more than 90 percent of it staples of brought him by sea and by these port it's been damaged. so this is going to have a terrible impact on the humanitarian situation. and now iran is currently significantly weekend. what influence does this have all the who sees that are backed by iran? a yes or wrong is significant a we can the wrong is the major back out of the he's, he's in the m however, it's important to remember that the who does have a significant optional, that they have built off of weaponry. and they also have great experience, whether in as strikes from satellite radio, from the us from the u. k. they know how to deal with it. and they also have the

capacity to put cheese weapons on, on inside the oven. all right, that wouldn't be a sophisticated, but that, that doesn't match that because the goal that the here it is a wage and it's clearly a symmetric, all they need to do is to keep going. it don't need to be accurate. they don't need to be sophisticated, and for them not losing is winning. now, briefly, as you can, or you touched upon this, but what's the role of saudi arabia and this conflict stuff? you're right. there has been involved in a war against the he's these since 2015. now, there was a truth times between the who phase and saudi arabia in 2022. that has expired, but it has largely held voucher rapier. now is trying very hard to flee exit to human war. it's expensive, it doesn't allow us out to eat enough bandwidth to focus on its own vision. 2030 on

developing rhetoric, tourism. so it wants to get out of the reason it's quite powerful, not to antagonize the who's these at this point in time? it's playing a very careful game where it needs the war types right, between looking like it's in charge and the who sees and still wants him to calm down, hold on them so that they don't start directing that missiles against it. the entire tree, the middle east expert and it was cancelled out from cambridge university. thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us. welcome. let's have a look at some other world news. as the supreme court has agreed to hear, take talks of peel off a little that could bend the video sharing platform. in the u. s. u s. government wants to force take tulsa chinese parent company bytes dance to sell it. justices. we'll hear arguments on january 10th, about whether the bond unlawfully restricts free speech. 11 people have
