we some reports of a deadly explosion in poland with ukraine -- border with ukraine. i spoke with my polish counterpart, deputy prime minister and minister of national defense. i conveyed my deep consults as to the polish people and to the loved ones of those who were killed. i underscored america's commitment to defend poland. we have full confidence in the polish governments investigation of this explosion, and they have been conducting that investigation in professional and deliberate manner. so we will not get ahead of their work. we will stay in close touch with our polish counterparts. as well with our nato allies and other partners. we are still gathering information, but we have seen nothing that contradicts the president's preliminary assessment that this explosion was most likely a result of ukrainian air defense michelle that landed -- missile that landed in poland. whatever the final conclusions may be, the world knows that russia bears ultimate responsibility for this incident. russia launched another barrage of missiles against ukraine intended to target

the ukraine will apologize, especially given that this hit poland. poland currently is ukraine's most important neighbor, the country that has taken the most ukrainian refugees, the country that is crucial to getting west to weapons, to ukraine, that ukraine is dependent on for all kinds of things. so this will be a very, very uncomfortable sheesh if it does turn out to be a ukrainian rocket. lots of versions, kind of still sweating around here in ukraine, that there might have been a russian rocket hitting a target very close to borders, a kind of a publication on purpose to try and provoke the ukrainians into kind of farm is in that direction. very little clarity, very little in kind of the way of more concise explanation so far, but definitely a sense that yeah, since he has got himself in a difficult position and now is looking for ways out professor person, let me ask you, can we glean anything from what happened tuesdays? incident, militarily, i mean are western weapons, these air defense systems that have been sent to you? great. they appear to be working now, don't they? i mea

this is not ukraine's fault. russia bears ultimate responsibility as it continues its illegal war against ukraine. >> back in june, the u.s. announced it would open a permanent military base to boost nato defenses in the country's border on ukraine. just this week, germany announced it would announce a maintenance hub in slovakia to service and repair weapons it has delivered to ukraine. since september, the slovak airspace has been protected by czech and polish forces. that's after the country decided to phase out the use of its soviet era fighters. mobile look low to its airspace to the world when the invasion began and announced a state of emergency. now let's bring in our guests. we have a lecturer in modern european history at queens university belfast and specialist on russia. in singapore, a visiting lecturer at king's college london and author of the book "russia up's -- pressure's road to war with ukraine -- "russia's road to war with ukraine." this is a day that many predicted would come, spillover of r

russia launched another barrage of missiles against ukraine specifically intended to target ukraine's civilian infrastructure. this tragic and troubling incident is yet another reminder of the recklessness of russia's war of choice. and ukraine has a bedrock right to defend itself, and we will continue to stand in solidarity with the people of ukraine as they defend their country, and we were joined today at the contact group meeting by my good friend, alexi resnick ofcom ukraine's ministry of defense, and by deputy chief of defense lieutenant general. i spoke with the general by phone before this morning's contact group meeting about yesterdays explosion in poland. and will remain in close consultation as we move forward. ukraine's commanders have shown tremendous leadership and tenacity. and they updated the contact group this morning on the current battle steel dynamics and don ukraine's most urgent self-defense needs. ukraine's troops continue to consolidate the gains on the battlefield as they head into the winter. and the contact group continues to push hard to bolster ukraine's

we want to audit ukraine. we voted no to send money over there and we are going to audit what is happening in ukraine. >> what is the connection between ftx and ukraine -- [indiscernible] mrs. greene: we are expecting a lot of bad things and it is under investigation and you will see more investigations and that is something that needs to be sorted out and investigated and a lot of subpoenas and we hook forward to finding out what happened there. >> do you have support from kevin mccarthy? >> no. >> what was his response. >> he said i'm having a press conference at 4:00 and that's ok. >> do you believe that ukraine gives money back to the democratic party? is that what you believe? mrs. greene: he got three letters, what's his name -- [indiscernible] green green -- mrs. greene: second largest donor to this cycle and in charge of the cryptocurrency fund in ukraine. and the question is did u.s.a. dollars go into that fund? that's a real question and a lots of these documents they should hand them over. everyone

ukraine. and they also want to as step up there are practical and political support for the country. there is no mention of what kind of support that will be. what kind of goods or equipments are going to be delivered to ukraine. as you know, nato alliance is providing non lethal health for ukraine, drawn jammers fuel medical supplies, and it's up to individual allies to deliver military aids and heavy weapons to ukraine. so there is no, as expected, no mention of that in the statement of, but this statement is being seen here as a strong sign of continuing support for ukraine. weapons, of course, are all the things that you crave, a time at the time at the time, suspect they need, and we're hearing that weapons manufacturers within nato countries having difficulties increasing our production to sort of meet war demand is likely to be a problem. well, in the long term, i think it is likely to be a problem not right now, because of course, we have to stress here that ukraine is still waiting fo

i was in ukraine actually in east ukraine and on bass when the bolts of was, was taken by the separatist just at the same time over and others in the agreement was being negotiated. ukrainian negotiators back in february 2015. they had their backs against the walls, i had to really make concessions at negotiating table because the bolts was taken, marable was threatened, yada yada, yada, so and so forth. and the difference now we weren't apart from that slightly. is the ukrainians built, they have the winds in their sales militarily. it's a very different war, so much bigger war. and my, my sort of conclusion, like i wrote the book, to explore some of the reasons and ways in which you could actually bring, bring this to an end in a longer term. sadly, i don't think the misc formula is going to work now too much blood has been shed. sadly, i think some form of de facto, if not, does your a politician may actually be on the outcome and, and just follow point on this laura. the analogy you actually draw is, believe it or not cyprus, conflicts and a division which i think is escaped many peo

what does ukraine need and want from germany right now? ukraine. these weapons to prevent a new genocide and you genocide, that would be inevitable in this scope on the smallest call. but you know, any compromise with a genocidal maniac is a compromise with a genocide. so stop pushing us and stop seeing office stubborn ukrainians who enjoyed this war. we don't, but we know to well what it weighs us if we lose. so please give up air defense, please give us up and please give us leopards. your wonderful, wonderful, thanks for joining produce. it would be historically a good thing, alexander sherburne, the former ukrainian ambassador to austria. ambassador. we appreciate your time and your valuable insights tonight. thank you. thank you. ah, and finally the blessings of the by gets these slender loaf of bread that is so typical of france has joined a united nations list of culturally important items. whitelow is crunching on the outside. soft on the inside. many french people buy one every day and can't imagine living a day without the buy get is thou

a could mean for ukraine. and republicans are certainly eager to make the most of their midterm gains in congress to throw obstacles in the way of president biden. so will they rally once again around america 1st? and if so, what could that mean for ukraine support? if mitch mcconnell, the u. s. senate republican caucus leda had his way. the u. s. would supply even more weapons, including longer range ones to ukraine. congresswoman this cheney points out and committee, we need to be doing more faster in terms of what we're providing to the ukrainians . we're not gonna go back to the days of isolationism, but there have been other statements, especially from trump, loyalists, and the party heaven mccarthy. republican leader in the house of representatives recently suggested there would no longer be a blank check for ukraine in the case of recession. fall, right. representative marjorie taylor green has accused president biden of giving hard earned us tax dollars to a country fighting a war cannot win america 1s

and the 17 republicans fledge an audit, a financial assistance sent to ukraine. that's after the party takes control of the house of representatives, saying every cent allocated to kiev will be scrutinized. a former polish mayor calls the missiles crash and the countries is premium provocation to drum up foreign weapons supplies and still maintains it has nothing to do with the incident in east africa, climate release of migration and displacement. instead, we become a way of like this play the whole country only a mixing 0 point one percent of global admissions. the people pay ahead the price as the car 27th on that wrapped up africa continues to suffer the effects of climate change. weaving many on the continent uncertain of their future with from lost out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. we begin with the ruling in the case of the mh 17 plane disaster. a dutch court has sentence 3 people to life in prison in absentia for the unintentional downing of the plane, which was

- civilians of ukraine is part of that, — civilians of ukraine is part of that, and _ civilians of ukraine is part of that, and we _ civilians of ukraine is part of that, and we should - civilians of ukraine is part of that, and we should not i civilians of ukraine is part of i that, and we should not forget... civilians of ukraine is part of - that, and we should not forget... we were that, and we should not forget... were just discussing that with steve rosenberg, our correspondent in russia, who was saying in many respects, as he suggested, putin does understand that his own clinical survival is on the line now. he cannot afford to lose, and so it would seem, given the reaction of the 20 in bali today, he wants to drag it out, make it as painful as he can, not only for ukraine but only country supporting ukraine. we should not expect anything less then we saw today. i should not expect anything less then we saw today-— we saw today. i think that is the case. he we saw today. i think that is the case- he said — we saw today. i think that is the case. he said he _ we saw today. i thin

or we spoke to the energy minister of ukraine. and he was saying that there are not military but energy experts in charge of this targeting, perhaps in real time that many targets are being struck over and over and over again while we been trying to repair them in the meantime. and so there has been a high degree of accuracy, but we've also seen some inaccuracy as well. we saw one infrastructure target. ready was missed quite closely that a local, a building nearby was damaged by the blast wave. obviously we've seen apartment building struck as well on the 31st of october and a deception took place of the debris fell inside moldova and other non party to this conflict. so there is always the chance of these things to go wrong. how was it? thank you very much. did well, we're in response russians. defense ministry has voted to said to statements by polish, media and officials about the russian missiles hitting punish territory are a deliberate provocation. with the aim of escalating the situation. when tom, to say no strikes agains

so this is a bipartisan issue to support ukraine. and this is why i don't expect a reversal, there might be more bumps. but it's not a reversal of us policy told us to crate a michelle just mentioned it has really been a refrain. and by the way, not only since the mid term elections, but really since the trump presidency, that europe needs to become more independent of the us, that it needs to prepare for a future when which american support might not be as forthcoming as it has in the past, but do you see any real science that that is happening? i think there's a lot of commitment with regards to nato and, and so to support in the transatlantic relationship. but certainly there will be discussions on contributions also from the european side. and it's now high time for europeans, i think, to, to signal also to the biden administration, but also to republicans that they're willing to take on more responsibility. and it's not just an ukraine, it will be on the china question as well. it will be in other areas in the, in the pacific wh

has there been reaction in ukraine? i'm sure that these, these comments did not fit well there in kiva, especially with president zelinski. i have bills, i had some trouble hearing you there, but basically i think i understand what you're talking about about talks being suggested as the kind of immediate goal key of being put under pressure to kind of wind this down and give russia some kind of deal that it's obviously looking for and that of the needs as a breather, to kind of re supply. there's if enough for that, here we are either amongst politicians or monks, audrey people, everyone you talk to will tell you we tried that in 2014 and we had means minutes to and the russians still came back from more territory. there is a sense here that russia is still growing ukrainian dependency. they lots of russian need to see cranium, independence, and state as a misunderstanding of history. and right now, giving them a chance to rearm and to train up more more soldiers, which is making that much harder for ukraine to protect

even if you know this is basically affecting the entirety of ukraine surgery and not an ukraine blue. so neighboring mold over that has an energy network that is closely integrated with ukraine's. but even if your gradients are keeping a stiff upper lip, it, it looks absolutely freezing where you are neck or how long you think ukrainians can continue to hold up in the face of these strikes and temperatures dropping. let stephanie, i guess, be in the calculation in the kremlin that eventually people will just stop putting up with it. we'll start going on to the streets and protesting, demanding their government comes to some kind of deal with russia to give russia that crucial breather to renew its army. and to basically prepare for more war against ukraine. for now, i'm not seeing that happen. yes, people are complaining. yes, there is a lot of kind of dark humor, lots of gallows humor. lots of means. lots of questions about where you can put a generator. what kind of generator can you put in a balcony where to get the diesel for it? but for now, there isn't a sense that this is a cou

ukraine stands for. we share the same ideas and values. i see the similarities between the core values of our two nations. almost 250 years ago a new country was born here in philadelphia, a country of free and brave people who for years, especially for the last 257 days, have helped another nation to stand against an aggressive plier. the ukrainian people share the same desire for liberty and freedom and shared the same values of americans founding fathers. ukrainian stood up for their freedoms under the sniper bullets. under persecution and torture, and other ukrainian cities, they will continue to defend their country in europe, suffering today under russian military attacks. there are some present here today in this room who have to flee from russian invasion when you are a small child in 1940. i remember your stories. you shared with me how your mother's carried you on their arms, how many of you were born in refugees and displaced -- disbursement camps. i remember that decades ago, independent ukra

if grain cannot be delivered from ukraine, other countries will step up to replace these values. ukraine has become as strong competitive to russia as a grain supply in recent years, threatening to take rushes place in the international competition go vanilla can visits one of the solar facilities. there are a 1000 tons of grain were previously loaded here every day. since february, individual trucks have only been transporting a 100 tons per day, has to be in the spirit, say, it's frustrating. it feels like a kick him a guns for many of us leading on the venus lock. in half a 1000000 trucks would be needed to replace the black sea ship transports. the war and destruction of infrastructure has created a long term problem. new land routes which crossed the you have to be found entity, whether by rail on rivers or by truck. there are now huge traffic jams at the board is it's time for political solutions passing like most not really sure from the over such there's also the signal has to come from the top and politics. it distorts naturally. it will take a political solution, not unfortunat

he did not expect that ukraine would put up the kind of resistance that ukraine did. russian forces that were advancing on kyiv back in february were actually outfitted with riot control gear. it tells you how much resistance the russians likely thought they were going to face. the other part of that is corruption. i think the russian military has suffered from poor allocation of resources. a lot of funds that were supposed to be devoted to building up the russian military were diverted. i think we are seeing some of the results of that. i think the biggest factor in all of this is actually the role of the west. the russians are not just fighting one-on-one against ukraine. they are fighting against ukraine, plus the united states and nato. u.s. military support, especially american intelligence support, has proved to be quite a decisive factor in helping the ukrainians repel the russians. >> here is a another article from the associated press with the headline, 100,000 russian troops killed or injured in ukraine, u.s. says. the article starts with russia's announce r

now of course, ukraine also accuses russia of war crimes bought by contrast. russia says that ukraine certainly cranium servicemen that were surrendering earlier this week. are being treated in accordance with the geneva convention. now, moscow has said that the lensky and his henchmen will answer for their actions. but so far kiev and the west have remained silent. but this silence speaks volumes as the allegations of war crimes continues to mount. steve many thanks to those days. as, as i see that steve at sweeney crystal, neon journalist and founder of the dumbass inside the website st. the west will likely turn a blind eye to this incident. if you look carefully at the positions of the corpses on the 2 videos you see that keeps the same soldiers as a russian minister of defense. and it's not the 1st time and that we see such videos are, you have to remember these videos from the georgia manage in which tortured and then killed are russian prisoners of war. and they fumed themselves and they published it. so it's not her like the 1st time that it happened. there was no investigatio

it is aiming at to before winter and winter is very, very cold in ukraine to destroy the ukraine and power structure, the power grid, and the guess energy supplies. and so it is, it has already been taken over a nuclear power plant in as a preacher. it is, it could try to take control of other power plants, nuclear power plants in ukraine, and by hitting the critical infrastructure infrastructure of course rushes, trying to so to say, bomb ukraine, back to the negotiating table. the explosion in poland and the garage of attacks on ukrainian infrastructure were occurring just as world leaders were meeting in bali, half a world away. to the surprise of many, they wound up issuing a joint declaration condemning the russian war on ukraine. ah, planting trees for the environment and freedom, but the peaceful statement by the g. 20 participants was abruptly drowned out by reports of new russian missile attacks in ukraine. and the reactions were suitably sharp. normal where world is here in volume seeking make for peace, hooking crudeness striking civilian targets children. i mean it's just

we see everyday what russia is doing in ukraine and all ukraine wants is to be a sovereign, democratic nation. we need to continue to support the men that effort. i support the biden administration's effort and of the over 50 countries working together to try to stop russia's invasion of ukraine. host: would you say republicans will be on board with the new funding? guest: yes, certainly on my committee. mike rogers is the ranking member on the committee, mike turner is the chairman of the intel committee, also on the committee -- there's a lot of republican support for supporting ukraine. i went to kyiv a couple of months ago, michael waltz was on the trip, he strongly supports this. so there is strong bipartisan support to continue to support ukraine. host: as far as the committee itself, should republicans gain power after the midterms? do you see the focus of the armed services committee changing or the things that they champion for perhaps going away? guest: i think it will be different. every two years it is different, particularly something shifts. you have the house, senate and

struck ukraine toda . ., ., ukraine today. in regard to the attack, ukraine today. in regard to the attack. the _ ukraine today. in regard to the attack, the missile _ ukraine today. in regard to the attack, the missile attack- ukraine today. in regard to the attack, the missile attack on i attack, the missile attack on poland, is there were more likely scenario or a central case emerging at this stage? {131 case emerging at this stage? of course the online community is aghast with series and i personally think there are two likely scenarios. 0ne personally think there are two likely scenarios. one of those 100 cruise missiles or other munitions launched by russia and ukraine today went off course because there was explosions in lviv and they did strike western ukraine. two, there was a ukrainian interceptor missile that went off as well trying to intercept one of these russian missiles attacking civilian infrastructure in ukraine. either one of those scenarios in my opinion is the fault of russia who is continuing this illega

he is in eastern ukraine where those missiles struck yesterday. yes, we just arrived in the village of chateau foot to where the explosion, where the accident yesterday happened. you can see that the police cars behind me, the police have cordoned off the area just a few 100 meters behind me. there is this green drying facility where miss o struck and the 2 people have died. oh, i was able to speak to the head of this so of this community here just half an hour ago. and he was visibly tired, exhausted, beat down, you could even say, but, and he said that people here are really hoping that these news, we all her to day that this, in fact was a, a ukrainian, and anti aircraft missile. and not a russian. no one is that this true, did this news proofs to be true, and this in fact has been and indeed a tragic accident and not the beginning of the process of a possibly bigger conflict. so there is also a sense of grief he was talking about she said that the, these 2 people that were killed this 2 men were well liked here. you know, this is a very close

ukraine's favor. now, militarily, as, as russia, you know, retreats into more prepared for positions. that advantage is with russia now. and as they build this huge and mobilized army, and you know, i think the idea that russia is beaten is a convenient and propaganda ploy. there's no bearing in reality and i'm sure brian would, would elaborate on that. ok, well, well phil appear. as i said in my introduction, no amount of arms is going to change the calculus on the ground. i mean, i'm one of the, probably the last person, the world that would quote joseph burrell, but it will be settled on the battlefield. and there's really nothing outside of a direct nato intervention which they would lose if they did. i mean, they're using ukraine as a proxy. now the ukranian army was destroyed in the summer. now they're fighting nato ok with ukrainian soldiers and others soldiers wearing ukrainian uniforms there. but there is no reckoning that this strategy is working whatsoever. again, i want to stress the infra

ukraine's president is calling for action- — lost. ukraine's president is calling for action. translation: - lost. ukraine's president is calling for action. translation: this - lost. ukraine's president is calling for action. translation: this is| lost. ukraine's president is calling | for action. translation: this is a russian attack _ for action. translation: this is a russian attack on _ for action. translation: this is a russian attack on collective - russian attack on collective security and a very significant escalation. we must say act now, i want to say to our polish brothers and sisters, we stand with you. this evening in kyiv, emergency services were still at work. what happened here and across the country and what seems to have been a deadly leakage of the war into poland amounts to a challenge of the highest order for western leaders. the attacks on ukraine come a day after president zelensky went to kherson to celebrate its recapture. he declared that defeat here was the beginning of the end for russia in ukraine. the triumphant visit to kherson was followed by s

. ukraine is still not accepting that. why knows? so the credibility of the air defense systems and this is the building on appointment robert maids. this is one of the most important defensive features of ukraine still standing in the war. and i think it's worth to remind yourself that the area around the polish border has been targeted by the russians and then long distance missile strikes in the bus. one strike in particular, came to mind with us seen reason of this blasting painting that was on the 13th of marching in a place called yavari, which is just to the west of the b isn't ukraine, but not too far from the polish border. the russian says that they struck a hope for western military assistance being sent from nato, from poland into, into western ukraine to be dispersed in the wars. and so, you know, obviously this is a very well protective parts of ukraine given its importance as a hub. and i think the ukrainians will be really keen to signal all around that. this is not something that they can, they can fail to

lots people have come back to ukraine in recent months. but yeah, lots people discussing on social media here. whether may be for people who can go, who don't have to be here, if maybe the best option would be to leave again, you know, and sit this winter out somewhere in western europe right at nic conley and cave. thank you. take a look at some more stories making news around the world. now european parliament website was hit by a cyber attack on wednesday. officials say that you believe a pro permanent group was behind the damage which left the site unavailable for several hours. it came just hours after the parliament designated russia, a state sponsor of terrorism, over its repeated strikes on civilian targets in ukraine. at the largely symbolic move has no legal ramifications. brazil's top election authorities rejected a request by outgoing president shire ballston iris party to review the results of last month's runoff. and also known as part him. seeking to was seeking at to a know most balanced cast on the electronic voting machin

as i say, ukraine isn't even a member of nato, and yet natal is in ukraine training, equipping, and so on. and so same thing with stopping ships. it's the same thing with mine in the waters. all of this is illegal. it's the same thing with, with blowing up the north stream pipeline is really criminal. every step of it rushes defense, ministry has said its troops are repelled a recent series of attacks by the ukranian army in the upper o g done yet blue against regions are senior correspondent, morocco d, of has been visiting artillery positions on the last hers front line within close range of kids forces on file this report. in these conflict, geography does no one and he favors fields and planes, villages and cities, lakes and forests, all are unforgiving. all have their pitfalls. ah, we were here to meet a more tar team which took a while to find their experienced and always moving. ever ready for new targets. where there ah, coordinates are in enemy infantry movement. ah, 10 rounds, a going to be launched that the coordinates provided by, by forces 3. they work up close at maximum

they the stakes the height, the ukraine? yes, the stocks are high for ukraine. yes. the tried and even the deal, but not the continue it. of course we still have song ways how we can move. that's great. all ukraine, but the capacity is just like, you know, much lower, but you can make some tonight to, to help me. i don't want to say hi, not any for producers, but also politically, that's just and bringing more of what the un secretary general antennae guitar said to me about the great deal back in july. it is obvious that there is nervousness that is like a thrust, but this is not the 1st experience we have with you can draw from the relation to the wind mitigation. we had the, if you remember, and it was also agree in the, in the same context of my visits to present, put in a presence the landscape, the evacuation of the civilians from us, of sol, for months. people said it was impossible for months. all the, all kinds of the attempts to failed. but when there was an operation with a clear coordination with un, at the time the i c r c, the international can we can r

should continue financing, ukraine's fight against russia. russia's war against ukraine is one. the u. s. has not been able to look away from americans have already sent more than $60000000000.00 worth of assistance into this was a democratic president, joe biden has promised to continue to do all it takes to defend ukraine sovereignty as americans head to the polls in these mid term election, us congress is expected to turn more republican. and the big question everybody is asking is, what impact that will have on us assistance to ukraine and other allies? well, the answer depends on who you are. there will be enough support no matter who controls which house and given president biden still in the white house. so i, i am quite confident that very, very strong support will continue for ukraine. yet one prominent republican stuff, it's sending a very different signal ahead of the elections. kevin mccarthy is the top republican in the house of representatives. he says he believes americans would no longer be willing to write a blank check to ukraine in the face of a biting recessi

war against ukraine. guns is one thing is clear. no matter who's rocket it was and for whatever reason it fell in poland. this would not have happened if russia had not started a war against ukraine. now this is slightly different than what we've heard from the landscape and the ukraine government, despite all of the weapons and support that's been given to me, it appears that they trust their own general more than they trust the western countries and their own investigation. and if mister new lives, i have no doubt about the reports and the commander of the air force and commander in chief allusion is that it was not a missile and not a missile strike. i have no reason not to trust them because i've been through this whole war with them. it reminds us of what was said before, the un security council by ambassador and a benzo. when he spoke for the counselor, you said this was sound, got a provocation, and candid to draw a nato directly into the conflict and watching the granting leaders sticks to it. despite the fact that western l
