mark: welcome to "live from paris," world news analysis from france 24. russian missiles hit poland. to the people are reported killed. initially this is reported by u.s. intelligence. pullen has called for an emergency meeting with moscow, but this could represent a serious escalation does the war on ukraine. 58 russian missiles hit kyiv, lviv, as well as other targets across ukraine, striking back

over the liberation of care son -- curse on -- kherson. volodymyr zelenskyy addresses the summit dons bali intel's of the damage to his country. tin's admiral lavrov -- trump is expected to announce his bid to be the republican candidate for the u.s. presidential election dons 2024. we've got more to come live from paris. thank you very much for being with us. we start with breaking news coming out of eastern europe.

u.s. authorities have reported to russian missiles have struck pullen. two people are believed to have been killed. in pullen, there's an emergency meeting of the government taking place as we speak. we're joined by a polish government spokesperson. >> any information presented today will be provided later and if necessary will be made available to the public as much as possible. we will inform you about these events. we will comment on it and inform about it after the meeting that will take place now after the appropriate information is presented by the services that will inform about these events. >> the polish government spokesperson they're basically urging people to be conscious at this stage. we know nato has already spoken

out to say it gives poland its full support. what more at this stage can you tell us? >> good evening, everyone. the government is still having the meeting and we arwaiting for the movement and the government spokesperson to give us another communique after the meetings. when at the pentagon is following closely what is -- we know the pentagon is following closely what is going on in poland, and i expect they will issue a communique after talking to nato as well. we know at the place where to missiles fell, the police and army are investigating what actually happened, and we don't really know -- the government

has not yet confirmed what kind of incident it was, if it was an intentional attack, a straight missile, or a piece of shell fragment shot by ukraine. we are wting for all those details to be given to the public. for now, poland is calling for people to calm down and wait for the official communiques without spreading false information and fake news because the consequences of that reaction at this stage might be really tragic. mark: the eu president talks of shock about this incident in eastern poland. we have heard the call for calm. we have also heard nato saying it is giving poland its full support. what can you tell us about the area that has been struck?

if this was a deliberate targeting, what might have been the target, and if it was an accident, what might have been hit? >> what we know for now, this village was actually hit by two missiles was just an incident around a tractor and a farm and two people have died as a consequence. this is what we know and this is what has been confirmed. it happened around 4:00 p.m. local time heretraight after officials were called to the scene to investigate what actually happened. as people say in the village, two explosions were heard. this is what we know for now, and everyone is waiting for this investigation to bring some results and have any kind of confirmed information. this is true, what you said, that everyone just sent support

to poland, but yet again, the government is really conscious at the moment. they really want to issue the communique where they actually have facts and where they speak already with allies. that includes, of course, european union representatives and u.s. departments and nato. mark: thank you for joining us from warsaw. magdalena observing the situation for us as it breaks. emmanuel macron has said he has been in contact with poland and is regarding tomorrow perhaps raising all this at the g20. no surprise. latvia's government says is its holding an emergency meeting set for 8:00 a.m. wednesday, and the dutch prime minister saying this is basically very serious.

let's broaden our analysis and bring in the associate fellow. volodymyr zelenskyy has described this as a very significant escalation. would you agree? >> i think it is a very significant escalation. a missile from russia hitting na territory is a sigficant step forward, but his broader messages that the war in ukraine is not confined to ukraine. he mentioned spillover to moldova, which is a reference to the missile debris spilling over during the october 10 attacks. mark: this situation, though, involving people being kled, it takes it up another nch, doesn't it? >> it certainly does. tina -- two people dying is certainly a much more grave situation. latvia has just proposed the idea of invoking article four, which means nato members discuss

with each other how to deal with a threat, but we need unanimous consensus. mark: how can russia bring this back dons, provided that how can russia bring this back and, provided it was actually an accident? >> for some russian propagandist and telegram channels, it was taunting nato for its defenses along the polish-ukrainian border, so russia is coming up with typical falsehoods. i think russia will probably try to turn the tables on ukraine and save ukraine has made external provocations aimed at dragging nato into the war. mark: what could nato's next move be? could this be a case of taking more arms, antimissile air

defenses into europe? >> we are already seeing the 101st airborne division for the first time since the end of the second world war counting down major drills and wargames against russia and romania. the big question is -- will this lead to a broader escalation with article four leading to article five? that depends on unanimity. polish officials i have spoken to said that nuclear strike ukraine would be a catalyst. clearly an attack on polish soil could qualify as such, but it is uncertain if we will get the consensus. it is important to watch. zelenskyy in his speech today talk about nato perfectly. we expect air defense missile systems to be arriving in

ukraine very soon. mark: thank you for that analysis of the situation. we will get more -- we will getting more breaking news from the polish border after two russian missiles striking a village in that part of poland. this all follows a day of multiple missile strikes by the russians in ukraine. the k a for instance was hit -- the capitol kyiv for instance was hit. our correspondent saying other areas were also in the firing line. meanwhile several southern homes are also without power after the strike this tuesday. 15 energy facilities across the country are damaged. elsewhere, there are fears for a key hydroelectric dam on the river. russia captured it earlier in the invasion.

anything happening to that dam could prove devastating. the strike by russia is seen as a direct reaction to ukraine's recapture of the city of pierce on -- of hair son -- of kherson. ukraine's president spoke to the g 20 summit, refusing to acknowledge russia. russia's foreign minister condemned it. ukrae clearly the dominant theme. zelenskyy told of the russian attack on his country.

>> all problems are with ukrainian side, which is categorically refusing negotiations and putting forward conditions which do not correspond with the situation. mark: sergei lavrov there, vladimir putin's envoy to the g20 meeting. we will bring you more on the situation in ukraine and of course on the situation on the polish border as we go through the program. next, congress heading towards a split. democrats hold the senate and more and more, republicans are looking to take control of the house of representatives. the red wave, read the color represented by republicans, that was predicted by many did not materialize. many candidates vociferously backbite former president,

donald trump, did not win. >> a stinging defeat for the former president on the eve of his big announcement. a candidate he endorsed become governor of arizona lost r race and last week's midterm election. the 53-year-old is the latest in a long list of trump-anointed candidates who failed to win. lake had become one of trump's strongest supporters and often peddled the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. during the campaign, she refused to admit if she would accept the outcome of the vote, saying she would accept it if she double and. trump's expected bid for the presidency in 2024 comes as the republican party grapples with what it takes to lead them going forward.

>> do you believe donaldrump should ever be president again? >> i think that is up to the american peopl but i think we will have better choices in the future. >> besides mike pence, the governor of florida, ron desantis, sees his name being thrown around after he won a landslide in his reelection last week. mark: we await that announcement from donald trump. let's get some analysis from a human rights lawyer and former assistant attorney general of new york state. thanks for being with u how important has this election law? for the rule of election >> i think it has been huge. democrats were really swimming against the tide. the economy is not going well. gas prices, even though they are lower in europe, are very high.

traditionally, midterm elections sanction the party in power. president biden is not particularly popular, but when push came to shove, particularly in the swing district, voters took a look at crazy and took a look at normal and voted for normal. they chose, really, the long-term health of american democracy over the short-term inconvenience of gas price. i think it was a very mature vote, and as you said, it was a stinging rebuke to, let's say, the crazy wing of the republican party, and now the party is in disarray. donald trump has painted himself into a corner. he cannot not announce he is going to run tonight because at would look like a defeat. yet, the timing of it could not

be worse. mark: one wonders about his ego because clearly, he will go ahead and do whatever he feels he should do because he is who he is, but do you think there should be some kind of sanction -- this is a man who has said without any proof, without any evidence, without any backing at all that the election was stolen from him. he has created chaos in that sense. now all of his candidates flopped. maybe that is theublic ying donald, youot this wrong, but should he be gin a second chance, given what he stands for? >> as mike pence said, ultimately, it will be up to the american people. at the same time, there are several important legal cases coming down the road against donald trump. donald trump was behind the insurrection. i mean, it is quite astounding to think that a man who incited

an insurrection through lies and through deed, who almost overthrew the u.s. government, should he a candidate for president, but i think that these elections have been a stinging rebuke to the idea that he could be president, and i think the republicans are caught, really, now, in the sense between a base, many of whom still follow these trumpian ideals, many of whom still believe the lie that the elecon was stolen, manof whom are conspiracy theorists, and let's say more traditional republicans are even still quite conservative, but let's say less conspirational republicans who want to move forward, who want to focus on the economy, want to focus on traditional republican issues, and the republican right

is going to have to sort this out. if they could not win in the atmosphere of two weeks ago, last week, they will certainly not win in two years. mark: thank you very much indeed for joining us. donald trump, just to remind you, is making an important announcement later this week, expected to make the declaration he will be candidate for 2024. former president trump will be speaking later on this ening. weill take that live at 3:00 a.m. paris time. we will give you the speech in full as well as all the analysis you expect from us here at france 24.

another turn of the screw for the tech world as amazon looks to/jobs -- amazon looks to cut jobs. >> amazon is set to lay off 10,000 corporate employees starting as early as this week, representing 3% of office staff as the company faces slowing online sales after boom times for e-commerce. amazon has already instituted a hiring freeze after acknowledging it had over-hired during the pandemic. the news comes in the wake of 11,000 layoffs at facebook parent company meta. >> there has clearly been a massive drop off in growth that we have seen across the tech indury. i think it speaks to what we are seeing with consumers.

big companies have to react to what is clearly a significantly slowing environment. >> regulatory bodies in the u.s. and worldwide are investigating failed cryptocurrency exchange ftx which declared bankruptcy in the wake of a bank run. that was spurred by report that ftx and its parent company were dangerously intertwined and short on cash. the crunch quickly escalated to insolvency after its chief rival announced it would be selling its holdings of ftx's proprietary digital coin. ftx's ceo has been replaced by the lawyer who once oversaw the $23 billion bankruptcy of texas

energy trader and run. there could be up to one million creditors in ftx's proceedings. analysts they the company had glaring weaknesses. >> the numbers did not add u the structureas wrong. the transparency was wrong. the governance was wrong. these are fundamental issues that the rabbit equity and establisheequity markets have be wking with for years. part of the comment i have for many today is you cannot trade too far from the delta of human nature. if the opportunity exists in a lightly regulated environment such as scripture for these things to occur, it should not be a big surprise when they do. >> wall street has just closed higher as investors balance volatile low prices and fresh geopolitical risks against a second report showing u.s. inflation may be cooling off. also, producer prices were up just .2% from october, half of what had been projected with the

dow finishing just north of the flatline. european indexes, meanwhile, ended the day mixed as new data shows french inflation actually speeding up a bit in october. employment, though, stabilizing or if 14-your low. in the u.k., meanwhile, unemployment has risen slightly as the country contracted -- as the ftse contracted. that is it for business. i will keep an eye on those markets for you. mark: thank you very much indeed. great to see you. time for truth or fake. did a german magazine call ursula vonda lyon -- von der leyen the most criminal woman in europe? >> we have this image featuring the president of the you -- of

the eu. we see ursula vonda lyon rated the most criminal woman and all of europe. we have the cover with the subtitle right here in german that reads the ultra globalist cannot transform europe into a totalitarian -- totalitarian state with help of fascists. this would have extreme consequences for all of us. we analyze this cover just a bit more. we can see these numbers, publication number 39 published on september 20 2, 2022, so this is a point to remember for later. we do not see a magazine title anywhere around here, but this star is a big clue. on the top of the cover where we see this white star on a red background, this is the logo of

a german weekly magazine cover stern that is known for controversial magazine covers. this real one right here featuring donald trump that made headlines at the time for trump's failure to condemn nazism and racism as well. this has been widely shared on social media. we have a post right here in italian and even the dutch language as well, posting this allegedly magazine cover -- this allegedly magazine cover -- this alleged magazine cover. mark: if von der leyen is not on the cover of the magazine, who is? >> this was photoshop. you can go to the magazine's

website and find all their covers. if we remember the image feature number 39, and here we find issue 39 featuring giorgia meloni, and it reads, the most dangerous woman in all of europe, not the most criminal, with the real subtitle that reads giorgia meloni can win the election in italy with the help of putin's friends, that would have extreme consequences for us. they also share this magazine cover on their twitter publication right here from september 21 where they labeled giorgia meloni as the most dangerous woman in europe if she wins italian elections, which some days later she in fact did. we can also compare the real magazine cover with the fake post, which in this post alone

was retweeted over 3000 times while the real post was just shared over 85 times, so the sad reality is how popular fake news can become, so, no, this is not a german magazine labeling ursula von der leyen is the most criminal woman in europe. this is a real cover featuring italy's prime minister, giorgia meloni. mark: one wonders how many times spots replicated that image. one of the big problems with fake news online. stay with us. more to come. watching france 24. ♪ ♪ >> joined the marriott envoy
