hoping to become part of syria's new order. we'll see, we'll hear from a former general who wants to work with the rental the so and terry martin, thanks for joining us. russia has bombarded the ukrainian capital with ballistic missiles, calling in a retaliatory attack. officials in teams site. at least one person was killed in the early morning strike. according to cranes, foreign ministry, 6 diplomatic missions in the city have been damaged. russia claims the strike was in response to an earlier ukrainian attack using western supplied missiles on the roster border region or ukraine. correspondent nick connelly is in t if he told us more about the attack a it was going to be loud here on 7 o'clock local time. there was

a multiple explosions. most of those are probably intercepting me cells being launched from the heart of the city. so incredibly loud as those launch, those rocket engines make a lot of noise and then thoughts in the distance we understand those are insects. ukrainian say that they accepted all 5 of themselves. no 8. as early discussed previously, we had had reports that they would enjoy themselves and his kingdom solves now a mutual cause that is going to me cycles. one concerns casualty so far. uh, but a lot of instructional supporting cause that was damaged to teaching. infrastructure to power supplies and some pretty stuff because of kind of keeps getting ready for christmas in flames. historic church severely damaged, so it is a very kind of really reminder that russia, for all the fact that it's running down at supplies, cancel, do these kind of attacks even if you credit leasing caves, able to stop them. now ballistic missiles being used to attack key, but it's not very common. what more do we know about the targets of dismissal

attack and why is that happening now as well? directions. as you mentioned earlier, i have a claim that this was somehow in return for your brand new tax on unit 3 targets invest. the reason one of those was a factory kind of production site just near the ukrainian or russian board and other was a, an oil refinery. so those were kind of seemingly quite effective a text and you find inside the labels and the russians, but attacking even if they only 2 dogs in the middle of a city with means people, it just doesn't add office kind of symmetrical response. so that is something that doesn't make sense. i think we're getting a sense that like if we didn't really want to show the strength, he had a press conference yesterday where he basically made it clear that he's not gonna accept anything, show relation from your crime. and i think the rest of that just trying to intimidate your findings and kind of make life as difficult as possible in the hope that they will the impression that he does into giving preaching what he wants. nick, thank you very much for an hour, correspond it, and it connelly in

appear uh they will have the incentives of 8 years in prison entirely that aren't happy with it. so we're still waiting to hear from she's out pretty cool from dominique clinic because he's of no ex husband who was the. * most of minds of the mosse right that took place over 10 years at many here, at least the family is behind me, but also all those to come out over since the verdict was analysis today are hoping that that will be an appeals a try as mine you that try would be informed, jerry. so sentences could possibly be. * higher than those promotions yesterday. this case has sent shock waves through french says science. it's gotten tremendous attention. what would you say has changed if anything as a result of this trial release? well 1st of all is i'll probably go read, it has become an icon of strength of resilience. lots of people i know mar and her

go to court because of alleged rights, should not be subjected to what they call secondary victimization. that they should be some basic rules of respect at court during these cases. so lots of discussion that has been treated here. foster is cool case that is already labeled as historic . visa, thank you very much. our correspondent lisa louis there in avenue. let's take a look at a few other stories making headlines today. a 7 year old girl has been killed and several others wounded in a night attack at a school in the croatian capital psych wrap. authorities are still trying to find out what exactly happened. police, a young man, mill suspect has been detained. us lawmakers are running out of time to avoid a government shut down a revised spending plan, backed by president elect. donald trump has failed to pass
