etc. this is absolutely a deliberate game by putin directed at the west, which is called “you don’t want me, you will have us, we will have them .” such a terrible dream yes, well, putin is a criminal. they understood all this, but he is for them, well, if only x was more or less understandable. and this is crazy. that is, you want the handsome man to have a nuclear warhead instead of a sledgehammer, do you want kadyrov to lead russia's nuclear arsenal or decide or use another weapon of mass impression? well, you are talking from ukraine live from london . olga palamaryuk is working in the studio and today we will talk about this for the second time in two days. russians hit the center of kherson. are there victims? are the kremlin preparing for a new

offensive ? who tried to bribe and the danger from the north why lukashenko suddenly decided to check the combat readiness of the belarusian army and then changed his mind the russian army from the very morning attacked dnipropetrovsk region with rocket launchers hail and artillery guns were fired at nikopol, according to the head of the dnipropetrovsk military administration valentyn riznychenko , two people were injured by shelling today, and the governor of kharkiv region, oleg synogub, reported the damage to the slippery premises, the previous strikes were carried

out by s-300 complexes, and for the second time in two days, the russians struck in the center of kherson literally 100 meters from the building of the regional administration, which they attacked the day before, shells hit the place where the medical aid and delivery point is located humanitarian workers, two people were killed, a 32-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man, two more people were injured , the head of the region reported that kherson is completely without electricity, the ukrainian military claims that russia is terrorizing the city and striking civilian objects, and we will ask about the situation in kherson. on the air, shelling of kherson oblast does not stop, and the head of the region, yaroslav yanushevich, reported that during the past day, kherson oblast was shelled more than 80 times, the strikes continued today, and there are victims, so what the situation in the region, what are the consequences of these strikes, what is known about the dead and wounded. i really congratulate you

. the situation in kherson is extremely dangerous right now, an extreme threat because the russian occupying forces are very close to the residential areas of the city, just beyond the dnieper. if you look at the map, you will see that kherson is on the right on the banks of the dnieper, next to the river itself, and accordingly, this gives the russian military ample opportunities to shell virtually any district of the city, any, that is, i emphasize that there are arrivals and destruction and victims have already been virtually in every district of the city, its recent shelling is a confirmation of that, that is, the situation is currently very threatening, and i am talking about the fact that, unfortunately, it turns out that now, for ordinary civilian residents , life there is much more difficult than in the period

occupation, that is, it is more difficult in its own way, because the threat of loss of life and health is now extremely high, because the russians are taking apart a lot there, as we can see, well, an obvious blow to the point where people were helped there, they could warm up, or drink there tea and charge gadgets and so on. that is, it is obvious that there were no military facilities there , and with regard to shelling, i want to note that during the time when i was there, even after my release, i visited a person and lived there for two weeks, i can say that the so-called shelling statistics numbers may be incomplete not because the people who count them do not want to wear something simply because it is physically impossible to count every arrival from a mortar or there from barrel artillery

that reaches some area of ​​the city to an island or zloty village or any other is simply physically impossible, and when i was in the city, i heard explosions, i heard the obvious arrivals, but there, for example, within an hour, there were telegram channels and those media that write about such events, they didn't mention it, maybe just because that there is a correspondent and theirs, who was also in kherson, for example, he was in another district and simply did not hear about it. therefore, it is obvious that there are even more of those flights than the official statistics indicate, be afraid, have they returned the heat to the city or restored the electricity supply, what is the situation now i am today i talked to the residents of my house and they say that there was light as of maybe one and a

half to two hours ago, and there was also heating and water, the connection is very fast, ukrainian services and services, especially mobile operators of mobile communication, are returning and restoring networks, and it was noticeable already in the first days of the liberation of the city , but now there is even more coverage, and well, they are trying , that is, the connection is much better now, and the heating, as i say, in my area , as of a couple of hours ago there was still thanks about the situation in the kherson region, we talked with the local journalist ivan antipenko, thank you, will the russians be able to strike after the russians hit the ukrainian infrastructure, will the tactics of freezing the country lead to a new wave of refugees and

will europe be ready for this, the bbc correspondent asked the un deputy secretary general for humanitarian affairs, i was also impressed during my visit to ukraine, this is when you wake up to the sound of sirens and then hear explosions and cannot clearly understand what is happening until everything subsides. these are just things that contribute the uncertainty of everyday life, isn't it, so in ukraine they still suffer from the war and not only on the front lines, but throughout the country, and for me it became a reminder of all this. ukrainiantis accuse the russians of having made winter their weapon with their attacks, a million people throughout the country remain without electricity, heating and even water, and there are fears that this could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe. how worried

are you? it became clear everything is based on the availability of electricity if you don't have light you can't get warm get help in hospitals you can't go to school use transport electricity is vital the authorities believe that russia is likely to continue such attacks as you think this could lead to a new wave of refugees who will try to leave the country if you remember the beginning of the war then there was the largest displacement since the second world war as we were told then in the un office for refugees thank you now by god, we do not think that this will happen again, but we need to urgently deliver equipment for the repair of damaged power plants and everything else, we can do something to stabilize the situation, even if the

threat still exists, of course, and russia may try to attack kyiv again, we need to be ready for this, said the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of forces valery zaluzhnye in an interview with the british weekly with ekranamist zaluzhnye believes that russia wants to take a break in the fighting in order to gather resources for a new offensive and at the same time tries to prevent the ukrainian forces to regroup are fighting more or less intensively on the entire front line, this is exhausting the armed forces of ukraine, the next active stage of the war , according to zaluzhny, may be in february, march, at best, at worst, at the end of january, and according to him, the russian offensive may begin not in the donbas, but in the direction he does not exclude kyiv in the direction of belarus and the southern direction, the commander-in -chief emphasized that ukraine needs weapons and ammunition for victory, hundreds of tanks

, armored personnel carriers, howitzers, and he considers it quite actually go to the border on february 23, and belarus declares that it is returning to the place of permanent deployment of troops that were on the border with ukraine, they were transferred there . i.e. on the border with ukraine as part of a surprise inspection of the army, so is it a strategy or a distracting maneuver about the situation on the border and military attitudes we will ask a belarusian political expert analyst of the ukrainian institute of the future of ihor tyshkevych p ihor i congratulate you and immediately want to ask that this was an inspection that ended before it even started. good day or evening. well , look at one side, formally, it was an inspection . if you look at what

is actually happening... and the logic of lukashenka's behavior. and i think that everyone who a-a is an expression in such sleeping areas of soviet cities , they remember such groups of semi-criminal groups of teenagers . the more scary, the more vivid threats are made, the more loudly they will try to threaten them to talk about certain turns, but the children are afraid, and this, in principle, completely fits into the logic of lukashenka's behavior, because as of today, there is pressure from moscow in the direction of even more, even more participation of belarus in the war, up to the participation of the belarusian armed forces, on the other hand, there is sociology, there is the mood of the population, which , if russia supports a war against ukraine, 70 percent or more of the population of

belarus does not support the idea of ​​a war against ukraine 70 and more er percents are simply opposite er data for their direction and in such a format for lukashenko, who are all in the funnels of the political crisis, to give an order that will not accept to accept even his electoral base, well, this is actually similar to death, but there is pressure from moscow, and in this case, lukashenko will try to demonstrate to moscow, on the one hand, the combat capability or the readiness of the belarusian armed forces, on the other hand, this kind of training. and quickly and ran back to the barracks well, in order not to expose ourselves to greater danger or to any provocations or accidents, therefore, in such a logic, it is quite well, if you can say

the word normal a-a in the 22nd year in ukraine, that is quite unfortunately normal for belarusian politics usual usual yes i would say and is there an understanding of what is currently happening on the ukrainian-belarusian border a-a on the one hand e-e from the point of view of the belarusian side, there are still 5-6 battalions of tactical groups that were uh they are stationed there in the spring of this year, as if for cover, to cover the border, this is from four to five thousand personnel, they are not this group that cannot carry out any active offensive actions, but it is parallel to the one on the territory of belarus, but it is northern and the north-west, north-west, north-east part of the russian e-e mobilized on training grounds are also quite logically

predicted because the russian military infrastructure cannot cope with the number of so-called mobs who were drafted into the army and accordingly, in belarus, some of them undergo training from the point of view of the russian federation, even this situation is partly beneficial, because ukraine is forced to keep near the belarusian border , well, certain forces and means that can cover this area in the event of an attack, considering the 1000 km border. of course, this is not one and two battalions , not even one brigade. and from the point of view of the russian federation, logic also understood that even if belarus does not enter the war, it thus forces the ukrainian side to keep reserves near the border let's assume one or two brigades in the zhytomyr rivne region or volyn, this is not the same as 1-2 or three brigades in the operational reserve , let's assume zaporizhzhia, yes, and the commander-in-chief

of the armed forces valerii zaluzhny says that russia may try to launch an offensive, in particular from belarus, in your opinion if such an offensive does take place, how many belarusian troops can russia attract? well, for now, you are afraid of such an offensive, it is quite small, because there are several scenarios, the first is that the russians themselves will transfer in the forces of the group and attack with their own forces, as it was at the beginning of the 22nd year, but even then, a more peaceful time, the concentration of such a group took about 6 weeks in russia, this is a transfer of wax, well, it will be noticeable from the ukrainian side once and for all may lead , among other things, to pre-emptive ukrainian strikes from the ukrainian side on places where russian troops are concentrated. if, after all, russia manages to break through, let's say, lukashenko's reluctance to participate in the

video well, then uh, purely theoretical failures of a capable group, belarus, as of today, can field up to 10,000 special operations forces. if we talk about more , again, it is already a question of mobilization, it is already a question of training our own mobs. and this has been clear for at least 2 months. thank you, belarusian political expert, analyst of the ukrainian institute of the future ihor tyshkevich was in touch with us and the verkhovna rada approved a number of laws the other day that are necessary for the start of negotiations on joining the european union, in particular this law on the national minorities of the media and the procedure for selecting judges of the constitutional court to do this in ukraine was recommended by the european union, while in june it granted the country the status of a candidate for eu membership, in addition, the scandalous district administrative court of the city of kyiv was liquidated; it was demanded by the western partners, what do these laws mean

and how are they to implement the idea into life, let's try to figure it out with my colleague, we are in touch with the bbc correspondent halyna korba galya. i welcome you on the air and let's go in order. this week seemed to be fruitful for legislative changes, we have several new ones let's talk about all the laws, but first of all, the law on media has already been criticized. tell me what is so controversial about it and why the law itself is important. congratulations olya . indeed, the law on media is a very important document , the adoption of which was required by the eu in order for ukraine not to lose the status of a candidate for membership in the european for the union, the significance of this law is that it actually reformats the regulation of the entire media market in ukraine, because in fact all the legislation that existed in ukraine before regarding mass media was

adopted back in the 90s, when there was no such thing as online media in a social network, the new law regulates everything, in addition, the new law greatly strengthens the role of the national council on television and radio broadcasting, in fact, it will now be able to regulate not only television and radio issues, but also the media market in general, i.e. it will have the authority to introduce certain types of sanctions if the media violates some rules because of this and criticism is heard from certain representatives of journalistic circles because they they see risks in this law, it seems that the authorities will somehow be able to impose their agenda on the mass media, punish the mass media, etc., but the authorities definitely deny this, and the same goes for the media law. the scandalous reform of the constitutional court is

an old recommendation of ukraine's international partners. why was the draft law adopted only now? and what will change now? do you think that it was adopted just now? it is related to the fact that the authorities promised to fulfill the requirements of the european union as much as possible by the end of the year. a-a of ukraine applied to the eu e-e and therefore at the end of the year everything sped up a little, but there is still criticism that the key to this law, the key change that it introduces is a completely new procedure for the formation of the constitutional court , that is, such a group of experts will be introduced, in which three experts lead from various branches of government and three e-e experts from various international organizations , including from the venice commission, and it is without their positive conclusion that no person will be able to apply for the position of judge of the constitutional court

that is, this group will determine whether this person is worthy or virtuous enough, etc. and claims to the law from the side of e and certain international organizations and the public a-a in that these are a certain equality, i.e. 3 * 3 e-e and they demand that there be something more a-a international experts in this group, for example four, so that they have a decisive say in the formation of the constitutional court. well, what they talked about this week is what they talked about this week everywhere , the scandalously liquidated district administrative court of the city of kyiv the verkhovna rada adopted the presidential law president zelenskyi has already signed it why exactly this court is such a remarkable district administrative court of kyiv actually became such a meme because it is connected with a lot of scandalous and ambiguous decisions, for example it is because of it that the former president of ukraine

on the eve of the russian invasion, viktor yanukovych tried to restore his powers as president, in addition, the key judges of this court are involved in a criminal case about attempts to seize state power and literally the past last week, the united states introduced sanctions against the head of the oask, pavel vovka, and already this week , surprisingly for some parliamentarians, the verkhovna rada very quickly passed a decision to liquidate this court, although the law itself is not new, that is, the bill was brought to the parliament by the president as an emergency almost a year ago, and until for some reason he was voted in right now after the decision of the state department to impose sanctions on pavel vovka and what will happen next with this court, how long can it take the process of selecting new judges a-a on the first

at this stage, as soon as the law enters into force, all court cases will be transferred to the regional kyiv district administrative court, but later they will have to create a new kyiv city district administrative court . will lose the status of courts , that is, they will continue to be unable to administer justice, but they will retain the status of a judge, they will receive a salary, all preferences, all the benefits that the status of a judge provides, because and for the formation a decision of the high council of justice is needed. it is not working now. because the selection for this body is ongoing, it will be difficult to say how soon it will be difficult to say now, but it will be at least a few months

. now, about the corruption scandal that rocked the european parliament, prosecutors say that they found more than one and a half million euros in cash in various premises, and that this money is allegedly a bribe from qatar, which denies that it did anything three men appeared illegally before the belgian court. a member of the european parliament was also charged, but the hearing was postponed and with the details of the bbc columnist katya adler, suitcases full of cash seized by the belgian police are linked to key figures in the european parliament or close to it, and this raises serious questions about trust and is it possible to buy the influence of the eu ? the investigation concerns the alleged corruption of european parliamentarians from the persian gulf countries. the purpose of the bribery was to help this country in financial and political decisions of the european parliament

, investigations are expanding so what we know at the moment the vice-president of the european parliament is a former spectacular tv presenter in greece . in the field of labor rights, the abolition of the kafala , the introduction of the minimum wage, at a time when fellow meps adopted a critical resolution in this regard, she is accused of receiving a bribe to to influence the vote in favor of kater kater denies his involvement, but this scandal casts an unfavorable light on the host of the world cup reminds of the numerous accusations of corruption surrounding his successful bid, although no concrete evidence was found. returning to

brussels, according to the police, how the suspects were caught sounds like something from of the scandalous criminal novel on friday the belgian police stopped the father of the vice president of the european parliament who tried to leave this hotel in brussels with a suitcase full of cash his daughter declares her innocence but if this does not happen in this case, it will have far-reaching consequences for how decisions are made in the european parliament, which is nearby and for the tens of thousands of lobbyists who work here in brussels and try to influence these decisions, there are too many loopholes, and we believe that there are several countries that use this practice, actually buying the support of eurodepots, and it seems that the boat, if it is a boat, has become a little too self-confident in its approach to this, it is about such huge sums that the leak was inevitable shocked and embarrassed the european parliament overwhelmingly

voted to remove the title of its vice-president the reputation of the eu is at stake, the leaders of the bloc said at the planned summit in brussels during the current energy crisis that they hoped for help from the gas-rich boat and finally to a global study of women around the world, as the survey found, to a greater extent than men feel sadness, tension, worry and anger. as part of the bbc's 100 women season, we analyzed data on human emotions as part of the gelepa study, a survey of over 120,000 people found that while negative emotions are on the rise for everyone, women feel it even more when it comes to anger, with details from the bbc's stephanie gaggerty. around the world, women feel anger and

more and more, according to survey results which for 10 years, the company conducted a gallop in more than 150 countries asking people what emotions they felt during most of the previous day. if it was about anger, for example in 2012, women and men answered about the same, but 9 years later, women are more angry than men. i am a mother of two young children who worked at home during the pandemic . and in the end in full rage when a woman gets angry she is considered almost crazy irrational because we are usually expected to be restrained because otherwise there may be consequences somewhere pasha and jacqueline hold a session under

called sacred rage therapy they bring in women from all over the world to talk about everything that makes them angry and then they scream in thai when it comes to screaming it's women screaming somewhere from 20 to 30 minutes straight that's on average anger promotes a huge amount of change it increases power i think it it's like a constant repression so that women don't own these weapons details more women around the world as it turned out feel anger more than men the gap is 6%, but in some countries such as india cambodia pakistan laos morocco the difference was even higher in india - 12%, when thousands of people leave

work. you can see that men are relaxed, go to the magical place, smoke and talk, while women hurry to the bus or the train station and think about what to cook for dinner. more and more women are getting an education and getting a job. and become economically independent, so the dissonance between the patriarchal system where women have to take care of the home and their emancipation outside the home is causing considerable anger but maybe all this anger isn't such a bad thing every woman now they can say no more. in this way, they actually contribute to change and use their anger for this purpose. eight ukrainian women were included in the
