8:03 pm
does this for one i wish they would protect our city of costs from all this, you know what they've got it under control. but as you can see, not every thing is under control. the government, no eating you. so what's going on now is what you use to submit with pm 30 people to pick their bags with the documents and belonging to the in. can you good way to do if the worst happened? it was very scary, especially when we had a building bump. the buying very scary for us. no, but them would. you cream itself is still under attack. children are being forcibly evacuation from the gwinnett screeching. residents are fleeing the city of port croft or an air strike on the says you have sunni shows. ukraine must still put out fires on its own territory even as it starts them across the border. but they don't use sonya found. the car is in keys and has more on the situation. and course on the grinding president's claim that his forces are strengthening
8:04 pm
their positions there. that's right. i mean, military officials here are saying that really building on the territorial games they made in that course. clinton the same, did not know controlling more than 80 settlement settlements in that region since that surprise incursion, which you create is hoping when you know shift the item is in this conflict of the reports. your um, suggest that the advances if you're waiting to have slowed down in recent days, and it's still not clear how you, how long you're printing, you don't kind of really plans on holding onto these attempt research to seize in the course region. which officials hillary have said could serve as a bargaining chip in any future of these legal fictions. nobody failed, even the set for developing today rushes, defense, ministry accusing ukraine of planning to attack of nuclear plant in the course region which is under adoption control. it says ukraine plants to blame that publication on most school. you create the label has denied all these claims and
