north korea has come out in defence of russia, in defence of the war.ries to recognise the territory claimed by russia, and then there are these reports that north korea could actually be sending artillery to russia. so in response for this support, what russia now is doing isjoining china and not supporting further sanctions on north korea, the un security council. it puts north korea hugely in a position of strength, and north korea knows it, as you say. we're seeing this confidence coming through the missile tests, coming through the rhetoric. are the missiles just there in order to make north korea and kimjong—un look powerful and strong, or is he going to use them? they are far more than just a show of strength. you know, it it is methodically at the moment working through a list of weapons, a list of missiles and nuclear weapons that it wants to accumulate, and the pursuit of these weapons would make it a sort of modern nuclear weapons state if it is able to reach that goal. finally, jean, we're getting into the korean winter, which, of course, ca

most likely, this is a ukrainian air defence missile.ty, because this would not have happened hadn't russia waged a brutal war of aggression against ukraine, and yesterday was a wave of missile and air strikes against ukrainian citizens. of course, ukraine has the right to defend itself against these attacks. more 's are dangerous and accidents happen, and that doesn't change the responsibility of the aggression of russia. poland is leading an investigation because it happened on polish territory, and i'm sure there's some contacts between poland and ukraine. but again, the most important thing is to continue to help ukraine to defend themselves. today, i attended a meeting of a support group for ukraine where nato allies and partners may new pledges for more advanced air defence system so we can help to shoot down russian missiles. the best way to prevent this in the future is for russia to stop the war. the brazilian president—elect has vowed to fight amazon deforestation. speaking at the cop27 summit in egypt, luiz inacio lula da silv

we are hearing from the secretary of defence lloyd - the secretary of defence lloyd austin as well ass called the ukraine contact group, which is a group of about 50 nation supporting ukraine in its battle against russia. they were responding to the missile strike and the investigations into what happened. as you heard from general austin, they are saying that they have nothing to contradict what the polls have been saying, that this looks as if it was a ukrainian missile. but repeating, as nato is doing, as poland is doing, that russia bears ultimate responsibility because ukraine was defending itself against a barrage of missiles targeting its electricity grid. we have comments from a general which said that was probably the largest barrage of missiles since the war began. he also said that it was a deliberate targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure with the intent to harm, and that that was a war crime. he said, as did general austin, that air defence was becoming critical. this was a major topic of the ukraine contact group. they were looking at an integrated air and mi

we saw more poles signing up for the territorial defence force.or in case there were attacks that came across onto their territory. we saw people packing their cars, packing clothes, ready to flee further west. now, the tension has eased after the early weeks of the invasion. that threat hasn't materialised, but this will cause serious concern because whatever is behind this, whatever�*s caused it, whatever sort of accident has occurred here, we assume that means there has been at least a fragment of missiles which have landed on polish territories and taken lives. that will confirm people's worst fears, whether it was intentional or not. the conflict in ukraine has the potential to spill over and to cause issues here in poland, which is nato. this is very close to the spot wherejoe biden landed at the beginning of april in air force one. that was a show of support for the polish people, for people right across eastern europe who are concerned at that time, a show of support for nato, a message that nato would be with these nations that border ukr

and it seems, despite the best efforts of ukrainian air defences, they can continue to do it.sure looks that way right now, and certainly improving air and missile defence capabilities for the ukrainians should be the top priority for what we are all providing to ukraine. but this is notjust about ukrainians. about one and one half million ukrainians have returned to ukraine that left back in february. if russia continues to destroy the power grid, the energy infrastructure, it makes ukraine's cities uninhabitable during the wintertime. then you're going to see millions of ukrainians heading back into europe again during the winter. and that's exactly what putin and his associates in the kremlin want to see. that's right. which is why the west needs to accelerate the delivery of air and missile defence capabilities to help ukraine stop russia from what it's doing. we'll get to future weapons supplies in a moment. butjust to think about the battlefield, and with your experience commanding the us army in europe, key officer in nato for years, you see the battlefield, and i'm jus

poland's president says it seems the explosion was caused by ukrainian air defence systems.ror, he said. moscow did pound ukraine with missiles yesterday. if it had struck or targeted neighbouring nato member poland, as first suggested in polish media, the whole alliance could have been called on, meaning confrontation with nuclear power russia. nato really wants to avoid that, while still supporting ukraine's military. nato leaders' carefully crafted, measured response today shows how much they fear europe is on a knife edge. they've had a sharp shock reminder of the ever—present potential of russia's war to escalate and spread beyond ukraine's borders. kyiv sometimes accuses allies of getting too used to all those missiles raining down on its citizens. if that ever was the case, last night was a huge wake—up call. but it's also caused a rift with kyiv, determined russia was behind the strike in poland. translation: i have no doubt that this is not our _ missile, not our strike. i believe this is a russian missile based on our military reports. that's a very rare public bre
