Hello everyone. I'm Christian Amunpur in London. Welcome to the Amunpur hour and in the next 60 minutes

we'll take you around the world to ask the tough questions, tackle the big problems

and let history be our guide. So here's where we're headed this week.

Putin is banking on the United States failing to deliver.

Ukraine watches the clock run out as military aid stalls in Congress.

Former national security official and Russia expert

Fiona Hill calls it the winning ticket for Putin. This is the tipping point where the

United States and Ukraine and Europe everybody loses. Then former cop president Alok Sharma, who cried tears of regret

when he failed to win the world off coal,

reacts to the new climate deal out of Dubai.

I certainly think that this does spell the beginning of the

end of the fossil fuel era. Also ahead an Afghan family fights for their

teenage daughter's life after Taliban rule drove her like so many other girls to

total despair. And finally from the archive as Vogue magazine turns 131, my conversation with its powerhouse editor, Anna Winter.

There's something about sitting with a magazine and luxuriating in it that is very special.

Welcome to the program everyone. I'm Christina Manpur in London. US Intelligence revealed this week that Russia has lost a staggering 87% of its active duty ground

troops and two-thirds of its tanks since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began almost two years ago.

It is a very heavy toll, but perhaps what's even more significant

is that despite all this, Russian president Vladimir Putin seems more emboldened and more upbeat.

With Republicans in Congress holding Ukraine's support for ransom over border politics at home,

President Biden has warned that Putin is watching and waiting.

Quite a prediction.
