the defense agreement with australia. among other neighbors. what does this all mean for japan's relations with its regional neighbors? and also its overseas allies, the u.s. in particular. can japan no longer rely on the u.s. to defend it? >> well, the experience of the trump administration was a big shock for allies like japan and australia too. and so this has to be part of the background thinking of why japan is increasing its own self-defense forces and why it's reaching out to other partners like australia, but also india and the quad, although this concern about india still remaining close to russia. but especially in southeast asia. there's been a big push by japan to increase its foreign aid into the asean countries and investment, particularly with countries like indonesia but also increasing security cooperation with the philippines, with vietnam, the coast guard, the japanese coast guard in particular, there's lots of training and they've supplied vessels and shipping to vietnam and the philippines. but also with other countries in

that's the issue facing. defense ministers gearing up for a 2 day meeting in brussels. we'll go live to nato hedge cute ah, i'm glad of us. welcome to the program. a day after ukraine was hit by dozens of russian rockets, security services are reporting more strikes in the south and in the west of the country on tuesday. ukrainian authorities say at least 12 missiles have slammed to public facilities in the southern city of the bridge. yet killing at least one person, the ocean set off a large fire in the area by. it is of the group of a 7 countries, the g 7 r meeting virtually today to discuss further support for keith, including help to rebuild ukraine's damaged infrastructure. following the latest attacks, people and keith have already made a start themselves. okay, i understand that a nato secretary general stoughton back is about an important to speak with nick and security. we will review our progress on strengthening night those, the terrans on the fence. we will further increase the protection our critical infrastructure in light of the civil tosh, all the north

terry, we had the secretary of defense there. what do you make of his opening comments that well, it's clear that these attacks on ukrainian cities across the country has galvanized the alliance to, to hear these longstanding calls from the ukrainian government that they need more air defense. this is something that we've heard from keith time, and again, these are complicated systems. they take a long time to manufacture, they take a long time to deliver. now we've just seen that germany is, is delivering the 1st air to air missile system that it promised ukraine. and this, in fact, is a system that germany had planned to, to use itself had to, to keep in his arsenal itself. and now it's sending it directly to ukraine. so these attacks that have been so deadly for civilians just in recent days, clearly shows nato, that regardless of their remarkable success, that ukrainian forces have had on the ground in regaining territory occupied by the russians. it rushes attacks from the air can still be extremely deadly to ukrainian civil

meanwhile, the missile defense review underscores that missile defense contributes to integrated deterrents by undermining a potential foe's confidence in its ability to mount a successful attack. by weaving these documents together, we help ensure that the entire department is moving forward together. in a our resources to our goals. now the strength and combat readability of the joint force remains central to integrated deterrence. and that is why our fiscal year 2023 budget request included more than $56 billion more era power platforms and systems and more than $40 billion to maintain our dominance at sea and $13 billion to support and modernize our forces on land and $34 billion to sustain and modernize our nuclear forces, but integrated deterrence is not just about the steps that we take on our own. it also means working even more closely with our unparalleled network of allies and partners to deter aggression in region after region. in the indo pacific, you see the power of partnership with a historic agreement with our trilateral cooperation with japan and korea, and with our many m

we have talked about air defense, the requirement for additional air defense capabilities. and countries i have every confidence that countries will do whatever they can, if they can, to generate additional capabilities. you've heard us talk about providing -- and that is a good capability. it is going to really help the ukrainians. you heard me say earlier that germany is providing an rst system. and again, i expect to see more capability come forward. we saw some additional countries volunteered to provide munitions for those systems today. and that is always encouraging, refreshing. so, the will is certainly there to do everything we can for as long as we can. and the commitment again, was inspiring. >> ok, let's go to sylvia, agency france-presse. >> thank you. mr. secretary, after president putin's threat about nuclear use of nuclear weapons, you said repeatedly that you have seen it nothing that would cause you to change your nuclear posture. will you communicate when you -- when this posture changes? and chairman, i have a question for you two. we spoke about air def

will japan's defense spending increase to around 2 percent of g d. p in the coming is why does the prime minister and his party think it's so important for them to do so? well, as has been said, is they very much aware of the potential instability in the region with the rising power of china. the potential threat from north korea. and of course, the divisions with russia since the cry war. and there's been discussions within the liberal democratic party within the various policy committees of raising it to 2 percent, possibly by the end of the decade. so this incremental increase in defense spending, which has been happening every year since the administration returned to power in 2012. that trained to just is going to keep on accelerating. and if japan does reach to percent of gd paid, that'll make it the 3rd largest military spend in the world after the us in china. currently it's rated about it's spinning around $50000000000.00 us per year. so that will be a radical departure. and also, as mentioned in the intro, the capabilities of the defense fo

s. secretary defense lloyd austin is in brussels for that nato defense ministers meeting. he said the us will stand by ukraine for as long as it takes this contact group. in a galvanized, we're all support ukraine, self defense for the long haul. we will stand together to the fin, the rules based international order. but strengthens, strengthens are, are common security. president buying has said, we will stand by ukraine's defenders or for as long as it takes at that a bottler has more now from brussels. lloyd austin said that her or he had gathered together 50 countries, us as part of this ukraine, a defense contact group, a group of 50 members that look at ways that they can best help and support ukraine . he says, look, the fact the we're all here shows that rules matter the rights matter. he said that sovereignty matters. or he said the contact group had a very interesting and opposite, very a significant meeting. they looked at ways in which they can try and send more weapons to ukraine as one of the main reasons behind this group that was set up after a putin's inva

then nato defense ministers are meeting in brussels today to discuss bolstering ukraine's air defense systems. nato chief in stoughton back said, the meeting comes at a pivotal moment, adding that ukraine's air defense is a top priority meeting at nato. headquarters is the 1st since russia illegally annexed several ukrainian territories. so, and all the sidelines, 50 countries are meeting as part of the ukraine defense contact group, as a separate group set up by the united states to coordinate military aid for keith. the u. s. secretary of defense spoke of challenging months ahead. russia's leaders barrage against ukraine cities has again killed and wounded innocent civilians and put targets with no military purpose in the crosshairs. we will continue to boost your cranes defensive capabilities for today's urgent needs. and for the long haul, they're telling us from nato headquarters in brussels is our correspondent attention. terry the u. s. and nato continued to urge allies and the other countries in the contact group to give more weapons to ukraine. how a government's likely to re

department that he inherited as secretary of defense. it wasn't something that was built in a day. it was because of the reagan defense bill all through the 80's. a decisive impact. and i think the military spending in the 80's was over 5% of gdp, about 5.7%. can you talk to us about what it is going to be necessary to do over a long time in order to get us prepared? >> they would say they were paying a welder to do the exact same thing to keep the submarine operational under the sea takes about five years. if you wanted to expand production of a particular thing, you have to hire the workforce, train them to a level of competency before you can even start delivering new materials to your force. the congressman had spoken about the munitions for ukraine, trying to defend their own country against russia. one of the companies that made some of those missile items said they would have a replacement in two or three years. the army dramatically shrank. you can deactivate an army brigade overnight. there is this time consideration that takes

something japan's vice defense minister says is unacceptable. does your favor, god, does he hate bigger since the beginning of this year? north korea has repeatedly launched missiles with unprecedented frequency and new new ways, including provocation escalating launches, such as launching ballistic missiles 4 times in quick successions. in the past week alone, north korea's actions threatened the peace and safety. not only for japan, but also the region. and the international community and are absolutely impermissible. what was pounds goal of military expansion as both expensive and controversial. the defense ministry requested more than $43000000000.00 for the 2023 fiscal year. that's the highest budget request in history, and more than one percent of the countries g d p. the plan also includes introducing preemptive strike capabilities and plans to further promote nuclear energy critic say this could violate the countries pacifist constitution and raises safety concerns stemming from the 2011 fukushima nuclear disaster. japan doesn't plan on

it has them talking about long term air defense. possibly even creating an integrated missile defense structures in the long run. but yes, absolutely. i the, the leaders here today, we're very much heating, ukraine's warning that every day without more air defense is a day that more civilians who could die. ukraine obviously needs weapons, particularly those air defense systems right now terry, but we're also hearing promises of support for the long haul there at that meeting in brussels. what does that mean? absolutely. that means a lot of things. it means a lot of high tech assistance. it also means low tech assistance. so as i mentioned, they're talking about possibly creating in the long run, integrated missile defense and air defense capacities for ukraine with, with all allies contributing what they can to, to, to really sort of seal the sky over ukraine against russian aircraft against russian missiles. but they're also talking about, for example, winter clothing with the winter coming up and ukraine. definitely the war in ukraine not being over by then. they're talking about h

defense systems together. the german lead initiative has the goal to if we clean hands our ability to defend the alliance from all air and missile threats. threats that elsewhere have become reality. just days ago, russia launched rockets at cities across ukraine, destroying critical infrastructure and killing civilians and attacks. nato members have called ruthless and indiscriminate. bonnet take also the last 2 days at fax. then the number of shelling shells and bombs rec orchestra has been over to 100 and crane has managed to bring them down over 50 percent as over 50 percent of them. so which shows that the defense is very, very crucial to save civilian lives. because russians are bombing at the moment, civilians, ukraine so far has been lacking modern missile defense equipment like this us made patriots system need to alice are now scrambling to provide support. germany has begun delivering iris t defense systems and pledges to send more of these powerful assets with a capacity to protect a mid sized city

that was the defense. the defense was we have a good reason. the good reason is how badly we are being treated on the buses. of course we do not want to ride the buses. that is what witness after witness testified to in this trial, how poorly they were treated on a daily basis on the buses. not surprising, this was in front of a judge, and not surprisingly that defense was not accepted. this case in retrospect was a huge win for the people of montgomery. the world got to see and hear about the indignities that they were enduring on a regular basis. putting aside the segregation in seating on the buses. you put your dime in, you got to walk out of the bus and then walked to the back of the bus to get back in. a lot of the times, the bus drivers would just drive away or insult people. in this book, that is one of the most powerful things. yes, we have martin luther king's testimony. that is what got david and i so excited initially about this book. we have martin luther king's own words being cross-examined in this book. the most powerful part of

so how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickly. but the other 3 units will only be delivered next year. presses a tax on civilian targets across ukraine, drove home to germany, just how important it support for keith is foreign minister and a lena bear book called the attacks vial and promised berlin would do everything possible to strengthen ukraine's air defense. chancellor of shells also offer solidarity and support. the chancellor assured ukraine's president office on the deputy of germany and the other g 7 countries. he said, germany would do everything possible to mobilize additional assistance, and in particular, to help repair destroyed civil an infrastructure such as electricity and heating sources in response to russia's missile strikes. the group of 7 countries will hold a virtual meeting with ukraine and president. leukemia is the lensky on tuesday. germany currently holds the g 7 presidency and rebuilding damaged infrastructure is expected to be on the agenda. but the leading industrialized countries will be looking to

but a huge positive needs to be this defense because as long as this defense is playing the way they have been, the forty-niners will be in every single game through from here on out to the rest of the season. this defense is is really special. >> in niners fan, it is a long season. anything can happen. so stay locked in. brad stays locked in with us all season long. brad, thank you so much for joining us. brother. thank you for having me. jason. entering week for the raiders had to have been the most disappointing team in the nfl. all that talent in that fancy new stadium without a wind to speak for today. they look to change all of that and get their first win of the year and they were hosting the broncos. remember, josh mcdaniels was fired by the broncos a few years back late in the second is a 10, 10 game in. that raiders defense forcing a fumble, a meek robertson scoops up the melvin. gordon fumble. he's going the other way. >> 68 yards later. he finds the end zone. it was gordon second fumble of the game. by the way, raiders go up 16 to 10. but russell wilson, he brought the br

something to pounds vice defense minister says is unacceptable. doesn't say we're producing, pick her up since the beginning of this year. north korea has repeatedly launched missiles with unprecedented frequency and new ways, including provocation. escalating launches such as launching ballistic missiles for tom's in quick succession in the past week alone. north korea, as actions threatened the peace and safety, not only for japan, but also the region and the international community and not absolutely impermissible. what was the pounds goal of military expansion is both expensive and controversial. the defense ministry requested board and $43000000000.00 for the 2023 fiscal year. that's the highest budget request in history and more than one percent of the countries g, d, p. the plan also includes introducing preemptive strike capabilities and plans the for the promote nuclear energy critic se this could violate the countries pacifist constitution and raises safety concerns stemming from the 2011 fukushima nuclear disaster. japan doesn't plan on

a european alliance is being built off with 15 countries building up their air defense together. and that is a very important and good sign via because we're deciding from being very reluctant to spend on its military to taking up a leadership role in pushing for a common air defense infrastructure. the european sky shield initiative is a sign that germany is playing a more active role in its own and europe's security and defense. our correspondence very shoulder, she followed that need a meeting in brussels force and i asked her about the need to create an air defense system for ukraine, which nato have committed itself to. they have indeed seen that ukraine needs more and more air defenses, especially in recent days, as russia has continued attacks from the air on civilian areas. so what this ukraine defense contact group which met yesterday said is that it is going to continue collecting equipment from all the different allies and partners. we want to help you crane, and then they're going to try to knit up as experts say, all of these pieces of equipment into more of an air d

there are new air defense systems to, to protect themselves. can you tell us any more about that integrated air missile defense for a long time was not a priority in the west when you think of the last 20 years. and then usually the foreign deployment and got started. molly and other places come to mind where western soldiers didn't face any threat from about really and so missile defense walking the priority in terms of capabilities and in terms of procurement. and that is only slowly changing since 2014, since the 1st attack ukraine. and certainly those discussions are picking up since february of this year. now the announcement by germany and 13 other countries i think is a welcome step to boast, a european missile defense capabilities. we'll have to see how this plays out in practice or the next couple of months and years. now, nato is meeting for a 2nd day on thursday is going to be discussing it 3 ammunition. so restocking its own arms. how vulnerable has the war in ukraine actually made nato? i think that has been neglected by major coun

not so little another day of our defense, a difficult day training their law restoration work is currently underway across the country. so we will restore all objects that were damaged by the attack by russian terrorist i inches. it's only a matter of time. i tasked all structures of our state to ensure recovery as fast as possible, just the knees. in some places the attacks didn't have the effect moscow desired. this footage shows keeps mer wittily clutch. go inspecting one of the capitals tourist attractions. a glass pedestrian bridge damaged, but still intact. a day earlier, just after 8 a. m. a russian missile had slammed into the structure perhaps an attempt by moscow to destroy a prestige project failed. as the bridge remained standing security cameras showing just how close one morning commuter came to being caught up in the blast. across the city, a giant crater created by another strike, just meat is from a children's play area. many were lucky to escape with their lives, who should a little more elsewhere, residents headed to bomb shelters. among them alina recently fled to the c

but i think that the ukraine has underscore the value of asymmetrical defense. and i think that taiwan will be pouring more of its efforts in that direction. m. r. o. very aware of roches intentions, as far as ukraine goes and the region. but what about china's intentions? china is of course, holding its communist party congress this week. what has leadership in pings, speech told us no surprises. i mean, he reiterated was declared in the august white paper and taiwan, that china will not renounce the use of force. and they all take all means necessary to deal with what they refer to as the taiwan problem. but i think that she has seen what can go wrong with pollutants invasion of the ukraine. so i think it probably makes it less likely that he will invade and any concerns from where you are, japan being the 2nd biggest economy in asia and important instability for the region. well, clearly a japan sees a threat to taiwan as a threat to japan. aah! last year. hum. huh. sions obey basically sent a very clear warning to china that a military attack on taiwan would

there were interceptions by air defense, but it hasn't been target in this intensity. i'm. it's one of the tactics of the russians to hit again and again, civilians anywhere in the country to make themselves. yeah, i would say her to, to let everybody know that they can strike at any time. so it is something to be expected even though because life must go on somehow. you mind might push this back or the knowledge that they can hit you at any time you might continue with your life. but these reminders of course they come from time to time. you must be very difficult to bear. d, w mathias, billing or in keith. thanks for that. nato defense ministers are meeting for a 2nd day of talks in brussels focused on ukraine a day after the alliance committed to deliver more air defense supply systems to keep. thursday's talks 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

she is with the defense studies department at kings college, london. it's good to have you back on the program. these attacks that we sold today . they were the broadest aerial assault that we have seen so far in this war. we were wondering the, what was the military thinking behind this assault? well i, i think her, 1st of all, we have to understand as put in has the clear and they, and it's a real tally free attack as a response to the bomb bang of the courage bridge, which is very, very symbolic to russia. it has a logistical function which is important to the military operation, but it, it is also something very symbolic. so the response, according to the russian side, is asymmetric. in order to show that the zalinski government doesn't have the monopoly violence in ukraine. and that's russia, despite the setbacks on the battlefield, still has the capability to strike. he targets such as civilian infrastructure. i believe one of the buildings hitting key of was say, in building a were european leaders were meeting. so those targets are also symboli

air defense to have full scare air defense -- full-scale l defense -- air defense. we are grateful for partners who provide defense systems and many of them we can say proven. i would say that's modern warfare in ukraine is unique combination of some approaches from world war ii, huge tanks and so on, with modern technology, which allows ukrainian forces to fight. also what is important and what supports our success is maneuverability of our forces. we do not have people to put trenches 2500, there's which we have. from this 1000 kilometers, it is frontline. so we have to be very maneuverable. we use small-group tactics. what is more important, we created during this a very powerful noncommissioned office which allows us to transfer authorities to the units over there. this helps a lot. which russians do not have. they still send general into trenches and that is the reason why russian generals were killed. i would probably stop on this and i'm ready to entertain any questions if there are. dr. rubin: thank you very much for those enlightening comments. now i will t

there, the defense ministers are talking about providing air defense systems, the by altitude, medium, altitude point defense, for the longer range artillery shells. this is something out of state should be doing because russia is occupying the vast amounts of ukrainian territory. ukrainians cannot reach. and this argument that they're worried about ukraine attacking russia, i just, it makes me smile because russia is the one attacking ukraine and ukrainians. they could fire injury russian territory today if they want to do they have a border with russia, but they're not doing some, they're the ones defending themselves. i guess few are very familiar with the, the concerns that nato is, is expressing about not wanting to be seen to put russia in a corner that escalate the nuclear escalation ladder. exactly. no one wants to see any use of nuclear weapons and it's completely unjustified. vitamin to turn is attacking ukraine and his forces are not doing well. the fact that he then claims that some ukranian territory as part of russia, something 143 countries of the un general assembly ju

defense secretary. now in that 1st read out, they were very specific. the russians, and they said this is about potential provocations by ukraine using a dirty bowman and the russians the, the russians translated words. but in the read out for the conversation with the u . s. defense victory, lloyd austin. all it says is the heads of defense departments discuss the situation in ukraine, no mention of a dirty bomb. we didn't have significant. that is we don't know what was discussed in the call. we have nothing from the department of defense either. but they have very much separated the 2 sets of calls out from the russians. but yeah, as you said, it's interesting. we suddenly have 2 phone calls in 3 days between the russian and us defense secretary, up until that point, that hadn't been any communication between the 2 since may the 13th and it was on friday that the us defense secretary called the russian defense secretary. and we were told by the u. s. b and the importance of maintaining lines of commu

and defense is our missile defenses. it was controversial undersecretary weapons. was doing missile defenses in alaska and california people were saying, you are going to anger the russians, they don't work, why are you doing this. my standard answer, the government standard answer was, somebody -- the north koreans are the iranians will get there someday have the path they are on, and i don't want to be defenseless when that happens. and so we did, it was deployed, so we are not defenseless. deterrent -- deterrence and defense. i reject talking to them now, and i can't tell you i know exactly what's going on, but all the presidents that i observed deal with north korea starting with push, one, refused to meet with the north korean leader and less in agreement was all sewn up because they knew for an american leader to meet with the north korean leader was a gift to the north koreans. they crave that. and if you are in negotiations with somebody, you don't give anything for free. >> the ministration would argue all the past attempts have failed. >> that doesn't mea

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, your boot not to consider using nuclear weapons at all in this conflict. amid the same time, though, you've got nato conducting exercises and you will nuclear exercises in a few days, time could rush of view this as a provocation. russia seems to view everything. nato does as a provocation, or it used to at least to use that as an excuse for some of its behavior. but when nato looked at whether it should carry out this long scheduled nuclear deterrence exercise, it decided that it would send exactly the wrong signal to the kremlin if it were to back down based on russia's nucl

defense systems together. the german lead initiative has the goal to dignify clean hands our ability to defend the alliance from all air and missile threats. threats that elsewhere have become reality. just days ago, russia launched rockets at cities across ukraine, destroying critical infrastructure and killing civilians and attacks. nato members have called ruthless and indiscriminate. but to take also the last 2 days at fax, then the number of shelling shells and bombs, rec, raucous, or has been over to 100 and crane. her managed to bring them down over 50 percent over 50 percent of them. so which shows that the air defense is better, but a crucial to save civilian lives, because russians are bombing at the moment. civilians, ukraine so far has been lacking modern missile defense equipment like this, u. s. made patriot system. nato. alice are now scrambling to provide support. germany has begun delivering iris t defense systems and pledges to send more of these powerful assets with the capacity to protect a

so the 2nd best option is to have more air defense system. just to give you an indication on monday when the capital here he was, hey, denise pro was head. zachary joe has had this. the southern city of nikolai and all those cities were heads. well the government here says that they were more than 80 miss as that were fired at the entire of the ukraine in territory. and they managed to intercept about 40 of those. as you can imagine, the damage that would have been cured if all of those missiles had really landed and struck this country. so that is an issue. and i mean, if you look at what's happening on the ground, the russian military at the moment is in its words regrouping. it has lost a lot of territory. what is in the north east of the country, whether it's in the den, yes, collegian watch it, whether it's in a sudden region of have. so it's waiting for these mom, new mobilized troops to ship to be trained and to show up to the front line and to give them all the equipment they need. so in the meantime, airstrikes is good, are going to

it has them talking about long term air defense, possibly even creating an integrated a missile defense structures in the long run. but yes, absolutely. i the, the leaders here today, we're very much heating, ukraine's warning that every day without more air defense is a day that more civilians who could die. ukraine obviously needs weapons, particularly those air defense systems right now terry. but we're also hearing promises of support for the long haul there at that meeting in brussels. what does that mean? absolutely. that means a lot of things. it means a lot of high tech assistance. it also means low tech assistance. so as i mentioned, they're talking about possibly creating in the long run, integrated missile defense and air defense capacities for ukraine with, with all allies contributing what they can to, to, to really sort of seal the sky over ukraine against russian aircraft against russian missiles. but they're also talking about, for example, winter clothing with the winter coming up and ukraine. definitely the war in ukraine not being over by then. they're talking about h

now what we've been hearing from the russian ministry of defense is that they have withdrawn from the town. so yes, you great. a lemon is now under ukrainian control. mit is, is, is being sold as an important strategic victory for ukraine. is that the case? yeah, lemon is the 1st major settlement that the ukraine has been able to take back in the done by us. now if we look back at to march this year, end of march, beginning of april, when the russian forces withdrew from the key of region and the other regions in the north journey events on we dead, they were concentrating all their efforts on the don bass at the time, and they were bringing all their firepower and all their manpower into the john bus . and they were advancing slowly and there. but they claimed that recapturing the whole of dumbasses was there a target their main objective of that phase of the war. they haven't been able to take the whole off the dumbass, but they were able to advance. and now this is the 1st time that things are reversed, that ukraine has been taking back territory in these areas that are the core al

promised eight missile defense systems, but six of them have to be produced. they are just in theory. so that shows everything is very slow and demand of course is high and it is clear ukraine is impatient in asking for more. but what is clear is nato will supply ammunition faster than was scheduled. ministers committed to look deeper into their stockpiles to see what they can do and they also urged industry to produce faster and they will give out long-term contracts to boost the production of munition and ammunition. brent: thank you. officials in ukraine say three days of russian airstrikes has killed dozens of civilians. waves of drones and cruise missiles have begun targeting towns and cities across the country. reporter: battered, bruised, and lucky to be alive. slowly, a young girl emerges from what is left of a building, destroyed in a russian missile attack. rescuers managing to make a hole just big enough for her to make an escape. followed by her mother and her father. they have taken shelter in a seller during another airstrike on the southeast cit

the rent a defenses is close to look now at the attack on busy ukrainian cities. it just after eights in the morning, a russian missile finds its target a glass bridge, a major tourist attraction in the heart of the ukrainian capital security cameras, showing just how close one morning commuter comes to being caught up in the blast. across the city, a giant crater created by another strike just meters. mature jones play area many here a lucky to escape with their lives. who should i live over elsewhere? residents, race to bomb shelters. among them. alayna, who recently fled to the capital from her son, hoping it would be a safer environment. they want to destroy our people, our infrastructure, everything. i wouldn't know and i'm soon and we know by out here. so people shooter, cecilia, i don't know how to say why the strikes on the capsule of the 1st since june and come after russia's president. putin blamed ukraine for a blast on a bridge. lincoln crimea with russia. the weekend speaking on the streets of keith . he crane's president accused moscow of trying to w

this air defense system, the iris t. s l m, an intercept. any air attacks within a 40 kilometer range and up to 20 kilometers high and can protect a large area on the ground. germany promised them to ukraine in june. and keith has been waiting ever since. but now the 1st system is about to arrive. german defense minister, christina lamb, correct, said it had become a matter of urgency. germany will deliver the 1st of 4 iris t. s l m ad defend systems to ukraine within days. the renewed miss our fi on keith and many other cities shows how important it is to supply ukraine with air defense systems quickly. but the other 3 units will only be delivered next year. crashes attacks on civilian targets across ukraine, drove home to germany, just how important it support for keith is foreign minister anna lena bear book called the attacks vial and promised berlin would do everything possible to strengthen ukraine's air defense. chancellor of shots also offered solidarity and support the trunk that assured ukraine's president office on the density of

s. defense secretary austin, call the russian defense minister, which was accepted. and we understand that austin emphasizes the us, read out the importance of maintaining lines of communication amid the ongoing war and ukraine. so that's, that's, that's good news that the, after these talking to each other, and i asked for sunday school week con, confirm that any, there was any talk about a dirty bomb. the u. s. actually hasn't even confirmed that cool. given any read out. we have a russian read out of the call, which ships to the says the heads of defense to problems, discuss the situation and ukraine. now that's a very different read out from the one that the russians released as regards the calls to the turkish, british, and french defense secretaries where the russian said they discussed the possibility of provocations by your cry and using a dirty bomb in the russian. read out of the conversation with the us defense secretary, they mentioned nothing about a dirty bomb buck. just in the last few seconds, actually, maybe minutes. we've just seen a tweet from the

forces have made on the ground without more complex air defense equipment. they can't do anything about these russian attacks from the air. and everyone's been very struck by the loss of civilian life in these recent attacks that the nato secretary general described as horrific, indiscriminate attack. so that's certainly going to be the priority here today. but in fact, what, what they're going to be providing ukraine ranges all the way to winter clothing, how to deal with the months ahead. so certainly these 50 some countries are discussing what gaps they can help you crane phil, as, as they look at rushes, re re energized attacks on ukrainian cities across the country. and of course, looming over all of this, terry is the nuclear question. how concerned is nato and its partners that president putin will make good on his nuclear threats? you always have to be concerned about about the nuclear threat, but nato has reiterated multiple times in recent days that they have not actually seen moscow change. it's posture on nuclear weapons, and that means that they
