secretary general, you said that you would make that decision at today's meeting for so that the nato arsenal remains full in order to provide ukraine with the necessary weapons, we understand that certain countries have already provided ukraine with a lot of weapons, in particular estonia, germany is now trying to transfer to ukraine what they ordered for themselves, do you think that nato member countries will not remain unprotected if they continue to provide support for ukraine . thank you. from the beginning of the invasion, we did it even before the full-scale invasion, that is, since 2014, the soldiers are much faster, we understand . these countries reduced their own potential from what was in the warehouses, but it was the right decision, because if, when ukraine wins the war, wins this battle against the aggressor, we understand that it is not only a defeat for ukraine will be a defeat and a danger for all of us because the world will become even more dangerous and other countries will become even more vulnerable to russian aggression, so we must use and provide ukraine with what we

they were able to prepare to equip them with no shortages of ammunition, because all nato arsenals todaylery, artillery, absolutely everything is used absolutely everything, but at the same time we can hold this line this line. and now i have no doubt. and in general, no one there doubts that the victory will still be in russia, because no matter what the situation is. today we are passing, a partial war in numbers, partial mobilization and it is very important that those resources that today have 30 people are very 300,000 people. this is a lot of us i want to remind you that uh. i think not more than 200.000. let's say no more. so took part in a special military operation from the very beginning or not front. it is very large. it is over 1,000 km. e, which is. uh, here is the task, so that these reserves of resources are properly spent, properly prepared, uh, equip with us. from furnaces to equipment, ammunition, including today, we need to transfer our industry. e on other rails, let's say, because e in that, e and according to those laws and in the format that she worked in peacetime

americans, the program involves the deployment and storage of the american nuclear arsenal on the territories of natoountries, in fact, this issue has long been resolved , said meeting in minsk the head of belarus they have been with the americans for a long time. we agreed that the arsenals will be larger, what does this mean that we we are really attacking with tactical nuclear weapons. we need to make peace, we don’t have it, because the threat of nuclear war has appeared for the first time since the cuban missile crisis of 62, said us president joe biden called what is happening the danger of armageddon. according to him, vladimir putin is not joking when he threatens to use nuclear weapons, the american military of a different opinion in the pentagon assured that the united states sees no signs that the russian authorities have made a decision. use such weapons washington sees no reason to correct the alignment of its nuclear forces on the wave. we do not have information that would force us to adjust the alignment of the strategic deterrence forces, and we do not believe that president putin ha

focused on how to deal with russia's nuclear threats ahead of routine nato nuclear exercises. russia does possess the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. experts are divided about how seriously we should take those threats . and what if any weapons moscow may be willing to deploy? here's a closer look at russia's nuclear arsenal. the warn ukraine has once again raised a spectre many had hoped humanity cast out. years ago. nuclear war. russia currently has more nuclear weapons than any other nuclear power. the exact number is a closely guarded secret. but intelligent services peg the number at around 6000 warheads. the vast majority are so called strategic nuclear weapons. normally deployed on intercontinental ballistic missiles, strategic nuclear weapons, have the capability to destroy entire cities in one strike. they're part of a nuclear deterrence strategy. military planners argue governments would be reluctant to attack a country if they knew they possessed these doomsday weapons were given the raw, destructive power and ukraine. shared border with russia experts argue moscow's unlikely to deploy a strategic nuclear w

of tactical nuclear weapons is significant five or even 10 times more than the arsenals of the united states and natothe consequences of the use of such weapons were enormous even if it was a low-power weapon, it would create an area unfit for life for many decades, depending on the direction of the wind and the place of precipitation, it would pollute large areas in ukraine and russia, and both of these countries are primarily grain - it is bread for the countries of africa and the middle east in the east, this would have really long-term devastating consequences for the region and for the world, and here is the statement of the american minister of defense lloyd austin . the pentagon also wants to strengthen its defense and modernize its army, the minister of defense of the country mariusz blaszczak, speaking in the parliament in the next year's budget, first wants to increase the financing of the army to 3% of gdp, i.e. more than two percent of nato's requirement, and poland is buying new weapons and also wants to strengthen own defense industry and what kind of support poland provides to ukraine,

and the russians have maintained a significant five to ten fold larger tactical nuclear arsenal than the us and natoould be significant, even in a small yield weapon, it would make the area in which it was uninhabitable for decades, it would create significant, depending on the wind, wind and fallout patterns that would have impacts, this area for both russia and ukraine which is a significant grain and breadbasket for north africa and a lot of the middle east, so it would have really long—term devastating impact stay with us on bbc news, still to come: dashing through the streets of washington to honour the lgbtq+ community and in high heels, no less! we bring you the latest scenes from the annual high heel drag queen race. indira gandhi, ruler of the world's largest democracy, died today. 0nly yesterday, she had spoken of dying in the service of her country, and said, "i would be proud of it. "every drop of my blood will contribute "to the growth of this nation." after 46 years of unhappiness, these two countries have concluded a chapter of history. no more suspicion, no more fear, no more uncerta

and so well, nato says that it has not seen any, any practical change in the posture of russia's nuclear arsenal. nobody can take that for granted. and so this is why they're going ahead with this, this long planned exercise next week and, and why the deterrence messages continue to be issued from nato headquarters here? nobody wants president putin to think he's going to be able to get away with this. now they say that they would not respond in a nuclear way, but certainly russia would be made to feel the consequences in a most severe manner if he were to use any saw any kind of nuclear weapon against ukraine. the nato defense ministers, of course, covering a lot of ground there over the past couple of days. we are hearing also that they are the several later members want to create a joint anti odd anti missile shield for europe. tell us more about that. yes, this is a german lead initiative and it's been picking up steam since budgets are under pressure. and since so much equipment is being sent to ukraine and to day on the sidelines of the defense ministers, meetings, 14 allies and finland, w

and the russians have maintained a significant five to ten fold larger tactical nuclear arsenal than the us and natoon, it would make the area in which it was uninhabitable for decades, it would create significant, depending on the wind, wind and fallout patterns that would have impact, this area of both russia and ukraine as a significant grain and breadbasket for north africa and a lot of the middle east, so it would have really long—term devastating impact on the region and the world. mark montgomery — the region and the world. mark montgomeryjoining _ the region and the world. mark montgomeryjoining us - the region and the world. mark montgomeryjoining us from washington, we will have to leave it there but thank you so much. before we go, thousands lined the streets of washington dc to watch the high heel race which honours the lgbt community. every year, dozens of drag queens bring colour, sass and so much fun to the race which always takes place on the tuesday before halloween. wendy urquhart reports. cheering the whistle blew, the crowd went nuts, and despite their sky—high heels, the runners

about, promised to mean the army in the event of exile, what is the ratio of nuclear arsenals the weapons of ukraine, natond what powers does the aggressor country have almost the same power of national nuclear weapons in ukraine itself, in the united states and the russian federation, the united states, the russian federation and china - these are the only nuclear countries, there is also great britain and france, which have a nuclear triad, that is, the possibility delivery of e-e nuclear weapons to everyone in china to france in britain. there are 10 times more than that, but in reality they are two countries in the world that can destroy each other and the whole world. these are the united states of america and whether we like the russian federation or not, but the russian federation is a real nuclear superpower , there is no analogy only to the united states, because it is not because it is by itself, because it got it from the soviet union, we agreed that this is the price for our independence, we give the russian federation the opportunity to be the soviet union and i think that it is the soviet pe

arsenals. and this is something that nato wants them to maintain it, something that every country has its own comfort zone, with, with what levels of weapons it keeps in its own stockpiles. so now just to day, if we go back to air defense for an example, 15 country signed an agreement on the side lines here to finally create an air defense system together and european air defense system. it was a german lead initiative and said to close some of the gaps when, when countries are simply doing this by themselves. so certainly the war in russia, the pressure on, on budgets and on security. the feeling of security has forced countries to work together to become a more cost efficient and efficient in terms of manufacturing orders. and we've heard, it seems to be non stop. now these warnings to bottom, you put not to consider using nuclear weapons at all in this conflict. amid the same time, though, you've got nato, a conducting exercises annual nuclear exercises in a few days time, could rush of you this as a provocation. russia seems to view everything, nato does as a provocation, or it used to at least t

including arsenals with weapons of nato countries confirmed by means of objective control, high-precisionased long-range weapons in the village of brody, lviv region, hit the arsenal, which were delivered and stored significant stocks of military equipment received from western countries, high-precision weapons of the russian aerospace forces in the kiev and kharkov regions hit the objects of the military energy management system. so the ministry of defense spoke about unsuccessful attempts to loudly attack the positions of russian forces in four directions on the kupinsky militant. three times they stepped on our positions, but were stopped by artillery strikes on the outskirts of the red estuary direction of the nationalists. we conducted an unsuccessful reconnaissance in force, along the entire line of contact. as a result, they lost over 120 fighters and more than a dozen pieces of equipment near the settlement, temporarily, russian troops, destroyed retreating units of the armed forces and captured strategically important heights. it was also possible to repel enemy attacks on nikola

arsenal. russia's warning came as the united states and nato launched nuclear war games in the skies above belgium, the united kingdom, and the north sea. 14 countries are taking part in the exercise, named "steadfast noon," which involves long-range b52 bombers, surveillance and tanker aircraft, and the latest-generation fighter jets. russia's military is set to stage its own annual large-scale nuclear exercise called "thunder" along russia's northwestern coast. later in the broadcast, we will speak with norman solomon who says don't just worry about nuclear war, do something to help prevent it. nigeria's government says the death toll from historic flooding has topped 600, with more than 2.5 million people impacted and over 80,000 homes destroyed. the floods have also destroyed over 266,000 acres of farm land at a time of soaring prices and deep food insecurity. nigeria's flooding comes as much of east africa is experiencing a prolonged, deadly drought. the british charity oxfam warned recently one person is likely to die of hunger every 36 seconds between now and the end of the year in the regi

arsenals. this is something nato wants them to maintain and something every country has its own comfort zone withwith what levels of weapons it keeps in its own stockpiles. just today if we go back to air defense, 15 countries signed an agreement on the sidelines to finally create an air defense system together, a european air defense system. it was a german-led initiative. to close some of the gaps, when countries are simply doing this by themselves. so, certainly the war in russia, the pressure on budgets and security, the feeling of security, has forced countries to work together, to become a more cost efficient, and efficient in terms of manufacturing orders. brent: and it seems to be nonstop now, these warnings to vladimir putin not to consider using nuclear weapons at all in this conflict. at the same time though, you have nato conducting exercises, annual nuclear exercises in a few days time. could russia view this as a provocation? teri: russia seems to view everything nato does as a provocation, or at least it uses that as an excuse for some of his behavior. but when nato looks at whethe

today, the planning horizon rests on the threat of nuclear war nato right-wing audit of nuclear deterrence duda asks america to host an arsenaln poland zelensky demands preemptive strikes. russia warns of a dirty kiva bomb. the west is shrugging it off. here, as you see, will nuclear war come to a last world? well, i think that the chances of a nuclear world war, but they are not so great, but you should not pay attention to what duda zelensky says, these are all dwarfs, but political life. simply frivolous is frivolous people. it is important what we say and what hmm say our, so to speak, opponents, who until recently were called partners. and i think that, uh, enough mind on the opposite side not to bring it up. uh, to a dangerous line and even here it's not that biden is not quite adequate, most likely, he suffers alzheimer's, besides him there are the military, and besides , there are masters who stand above them. nobody needs a nuclear war, and most likely, if people like zelensky go, they will try to do something. i think they should probably be pulled. although what we are entering has already entered the military era,

the border, a unit of collective forces will eliminate this threat, there is a whole arsenal of weapons left by natos conclusion. and, of course, the risk of these weapons spreading and being simply stolen is now increasing. this means sale throughout afghanistan, and for limits within the framework of countering terrorism , the udkb forces have been annually conducting cobalt a exercises since 2019, the mercenary operation. it is known that people from the isis terrorist organization banned in the russian federation are trying to move from syria to the territory of the post-soviet states. the afghan problem should remain in the center of our constant attention and analysis in this direction, it is necessary to implement the entire complex, political-diplomatic and military-technical measures, to ensure security terrorists use threats torture, and murder the same methods as bandits , it was to combat organized crime in the nineties in russia that a special rapid response squad was created in 1993. it was called lynx for 30 years of existence sombry e participated in all high-profile anti- terrorist

nato shared nuclear weapons program. be a step towards the country having its own independent nuclear arsenal. well, that's what they're talking about. and we just have to keep in mind that and that even bringing nuclear weapons to europe, storing them there for years involving other countries has been carried out by the united states since 19 fifties. and there been huge movements in europe calling for the u. s. to remove nuclear weapons instead, they've modernized in every sense and sought to involve more and more countries. so it is a danger, a real danger for all the people of the world and especially of europe to even engage in such constant talk and threats and trying to up the ante more and more. and they have a country at their the has willing to play that role calling for nuclear weapons to be held in poland. at the same time, increasing the military budget, increasing the number of troops falling for more us troops in the us certainly seems to have a lot of control here. so why do you think that the binding administration has not responded to poland request so far? do you think that

nato defense ministers along with a, the invitees, sweden and finland. and what they're going to be talking about is what the consequences of ramping of these aid deliveries to ukraine will mean for their own arsenals. now, a lot of these current countries are, are warning that they've had to dip into their own reserves. reserves that are basically mandated by nato to keep up by the capacity for self defense. they're talking about how they're going to replenish those shelves. and also how they're going to, you know, afford to buy new systems and send them directly to ukraine. so this is where nato steps in the u. s. is coordinating the a deliveries their weapons deliveries to ukraine. now nato countries together are talking about how they can, for example, make joint purchases of ammunition and is so that industry can, can produce these items more quickly. this is where nato steps in and, and it's, it's a really big task. this is something that nato countries have been talking about doing for years, but it's really having to help ukraine fight the war against russia. that's really put the fire under it now. terry, thanks ring us up to date, that was our correspond. terry schultz there in brussels.

forward, the allied forces succeed in zaitsevo in the positions now occupied, they find entire arsenals of natoition just a few hours ago, uh, they hit with silent 60-mm polish mines. these conditions are very difficult to work. uh, a lot of mercenaries from the ukrainian side more often found georgian mercenaries mined all the escape routes. from where we retreat, we still press them, as if forward, but here, most likely, for a long time. every time they suffer heavy losses. they replace themselves with new ones fighters and again attacks us. uh, well, nevertheless, we're holding on. however. at the front , not even technique is more important, but the ability to work together. the crew of the tank with the call sign buran honed their mutual understanding for six months and is still in the ranks. it must be very well put together, well, this is a family, if we are not put together, then someone's mistake. may cost the life of the entire crew. even okay the whole crew. maybe someone behind us infantry is also carrying out troops. well, that is, it very much depends on coherence, because it is i

early renewal of the arsenal, which dictated plans to update the atomic bombs at nato european bases ahead of schedule, a chance to grow healthy regions , early intervention services for children are actively developing with developmental features. why this is so important was clarified by svetlana gordeeva krasnaya and beloe in a historical perspective. this is also historical masonry, red brick sits on lime mortar. but this is already a new wall of the patievsky monasteries of the romanov dynasty entrusted to workers from central asia. what happened in the end? for the second time in a day, ukrainian troops fired from haymoros, black clouds of smoke rise above the city, which are visible from several kilometers away. our correspondent of the dpr, ilya ushenin, is working on the spot. he has all the latest information, according to eyewitnesses of strikes on shakhtyorsk, ukrainian armed formations inflicted the first two. right here at the local oil depot. this is the only tank farm, a large fuel terminal here , the second republican fuel company, literally in a few seconds , was st

that has some experts considering exactly how russia might use its nuclear arsenal and what the response from the u.s. and nato might be. my next guest wrote an op-ed for the "washington post" titled "putin says his nuclear threat is no bluff. we should take him at his word." joining me now, former president of plowshares fund and author of the book "nuclear nightmares" which, joe, it's appropriate. we're going to walk through this. you talk about four different ways that russia could use nuclear weapons and how the u.s. and nato would respond. i want to walk through those. the first one you mention is what's called the demonstration shock. one option for russia to fire a nuclear weapon over an uninhabited area. tell us about this. >> right. these military doctrine in russian writings about this. point would be to demonstrate the seriousness of the conflict for russia and to try to intimidate the adversary. in this case ukraine or nato to back off, to stand down. the idea, such a shock that it would cause opposing troops to stop their battle, and maybe even consider sir urrendering before other nuclear weapons

nato chief in brussels. mister secretary general. you said that you will be making decisions at this meeting about how to increase national stockpiles and keep your heater arsenals full while supplying more to ukraine. but for example, with the air defense air, to air missile system that germany is sending. that was something that germany was expecting to order for itself. estonia has sentence entire shipment of javelin to ukraine. so are you worried that while allies are supplying ukraine with everything they can, they are leaving themselves unprotected at home and what will be your deliverables out of this meeting? that will change that in terms of manufacturing costs of streamlining so they dollars have provided unprecedented support to ukraine or with the capabilities the weapons, ammunition, the different types of minto support and that is something of course we welcome and then we have encouraged this from an athol, ever since the innovation started, actually we did that before invasion. we have to remember that natural laws have broad support to grant since 2014, including attending tens of thousands of ukraine officers solders which are now paying a key

poland would like to participate in the nato program for the joint use of the nuclear arsenal, this wasce of the polish president the alliance program allows countries that do not have nuclear weapons to place them on their territory, the prime minister of poland, in turn , again criticized germany for insufficient military assistance to the kiev regime, in his opinion, anton dadykin thought about what to do next. in england, british instructors train ukrainian soldiers to fight in urban conditions, according to the telegraph newspaper , almost 6,000 citizens of ukraine have already completed a five-week training course, while the uk promises to prepare and equip 19,000 ukrainian soldiers are also being trained by instructors from the buildings of canada, the netherlands, new zealand, finland and sweden, the european union intends to launch a similar mission in the coming week on the territory of germany, france and poland. will save what washington will do when faced with the defeat of ukraine note that no one in the west is making any effort to drive the escalation of the conflict eve
