thing for now, and then when generation now on the tube industry, this kind of product feels like the rate the business date of the nearest line from bad and the russian missile, the fact that you're trying to capital or thoughts as in key. it's a rush of fire, a ballistic missiles of associates, reports of injuries will take your life to the ukrainians capital. also on the program. full of them is additional assad's military hand over that weapons hoping to become positive. syria's new order. we'll hear from a former general who wants to play with the rebels and friends, she said, petticoat expresses support for victims of sexual abuse after her ex husband and 50 other man, a can fix it on writing the

program. welcome to the program. we start with breaking news from ukraine, where several people reported injured in the capital, keep following a russian missile attack with our so you say age, ballistic missiles were 5 of the city. you know, the morning attacks bumped up fires and damaged office buildings. had to be attacked and crimes, air force issues and message on the ground warning of a ballistic missile coming from the no it's joining the dw correspondent new conley in case of welcome nick. what more do we know? so it was incredibly loud here, around 7 in the morning, local time. most of what we could here here in central k was probably outgoing at and t at and missile defense at brook is being launch. those are very, very loud in that kind of urban environment. it was

a heard some very loud bangs. we didn't know if that was something actually hitting a target will being deceptive low over the city. what we do know is that the heavier reports of several people wounded of which some on now in hospital, in terms of fatalities. we don't quite know yet. they've been contradictory reports about fatality that we've been rescinded and then pushed by other media. so we're still quite no, not sure there's certainly a serious amount of damage from pulling debris cause on fire, energy infrastructure, heating, instruct, sales people without heating this morning. but so it is something that doesn't happen every day here and see if you get drones coming in pretty much every day. but these incredibly expensive missiles, the cost, tens of millions of dollars to produce each. that is something that russia cannot produce in the same volumes and so they, you know, wait for us to build up every couple of months and then send them in at this definitely wasn't as far as we know, the arresting me so that most modern russian to solve that if i knew which has been talking about a lot these off control and it's kind of themselves that i've seen before. right. they sort of made ballistic missile attacks on keep don't happen. that often as

you're saying was other likely targets the terms of the actual kind of physical targets. we don't have much more information yet, but what we are hearing from people here observe is people political and the tree pundents they documents. this is all connected to vitamin pollutants press conference yesterday where he was trying to strike a pose of confidence, trying to single to the west that he is in no mood for tools. and if they're going to be told they're going to be on his terms exclusively. he was talking about that arrested me so that he's what do you use wants to attack? since you have new pro, i was basically trying to encourage the west to send as many patriot missile defense systems. of course, given that he would see if they were able to intercept the rest of his line being that they wouldn't so little provide a better sense. but he is trying to make a point because in defective this is a very, you know, at the wrong city to tell you if you actually want to reach your target, this is the place and you find that it's best defended where those results of at least likely to get through so wasting tens of millions of dollars or making your

point is, you know, something that would already be done for political reasons. and we're seeing that he's trying to signal now the new incoming trump administration that he's going to play hardball. and that he's not going to, you know, come some kind of deal that the ukrainians and that back is in, you're going to be able to. so we're looking at damage and injury so deep. those 8 ballistic missiles get through. so as far as you know, now we've just heard of what somebody excepted and looks, this information is confidential. and often we only hear later, but seeing any from the video out there on social media from people, it does seem that the damage is so far being caused by temporary from intercepted results. if the missiles had actually reached their target, the kinds of images we'd be saying, we'd be much worse. okay, thank you for that next data. because going to nick conley and keith versus evasion of ukraine approaches. instead of the vast rate, the total is visible across the country. every day families battery left once

well. i think it's either this or another cycle of dictatorship and maybe civil war. there's no doubt that a lot needs to be done in this process. but we've been speaking to a lot of people here in damascus and they've been very keen on, you know, reconciliation they, once week us in the ation, basically bought this is condition that because they want that fast, see some sort of comfortability. they want to see those who are important and trying to out the serial support to get to before you want to see them through a fair trial. that's us. and they want to see what's important. they want to know the, the faith of their funds and loved ones before any sort of you can. so the asked for the that you a thought which is where we've been spending some time in reconciliation center like the ones we visited, the muskets and it's, you know, we,

we could see that work is underway, model x, the officers are coming and the offering their expertise, they want it to work, they said they are ready to work with the with the new authorities and, uh, the, the new authorities are showing some sort of a tolerance at the moment. they said that they, they would actually need their expertise at work on this reconciliation, but put the gun on the after they investigate them and they know that they weren't involved in work on. right. and, well, this is limits to form a rebels. run syria, as a secular state is what it's, it's really hard to imagine, but it's also hard to tell at this very early stage what, what the intentions of these, uh, you told us are, you know, they, they, we, we all know that they come from that is something that backgrounds we know that'd be the most powerful group. the most powerful man here in syria today is that

listed as the head of a terrorist organization. and there's a lot of work that needs to be done for this to be revisited. and you know, as much as this is concerning to the west, it is also that raising at so many concerns amongst billions here, who one's probably a 2nd to stay for a democratic stage we've been at yesterday at the 1st assist in. nope, it's kind of where hundreds of people were gathering in and sign for the mazda as the cold for a 2nd. last year, we ought to vote for women's life. my voice is white and that is quite impressive via to i twice you and you know, it's, everyone is just watching how the new authorities with this, that type of based on his background will be dealing with these people. and you know, there's also other voices. there's this voice of a that once and it's finally cooled, but that's the big challenge. 40 you authorities here. they need to find
