also have a lot to boast about, like this project that they've been working on for a long time. very quick. i was looking at the experience of conducting the special military operation, shows the issue of interaction between aviation and air defense is relevant to solve this problem. a technical simulator was developed to train joint actions of military air defense. this screen shows the tactical situation in the area of the line of combat contact. the crew of the aircraft is performing a combat mission to destroy and to be ground targets. the aircraft is controlled by a flight school cadet in a combat training aircraft procedural simulator, it trains aircraft control and combat navigation tasks. cover is provided by an anti aircraft missile battery, armed with short range, anti aircraft missiles systems. the map shows their detection zones in green, and they were attacked zones in red when friendly aircraft fly along the cord or

identification and s corps tests take place. the significant part of the army form was dedicated to military education in russia, and the treatments offer a full so called scripts. and the scientific units and the cadets said, some it is the recall is and the universities and of course of these holes right here became some of the most popular at the for from on call for a party. and most of us open, i will be back of the top of the out the the,

the, everybody on bins one, filling in for rick sanchez. this is direct impact. and here's just one of the stories we're covering today. what i think about pers gave you as soon as you were calling the reason finding that results in and over a 1000 soldiers dead on both sides of the rush. or you can conflict beautiful all before trying to recruit civilian from nato member countries to join the fight. i'm been swan, this is direct impact. the

. and thanks for being with us today more on the words about us, senator lindsey graham and just a moment. but 1st, we begin with the us presidential race. today, donald trump, the republican candidate, just had a 2 hour chat with you on mosque, on the social platform, x. it did not start off smoothly by the way, the event was delayed by over 40 minutes due to what must said was a cyber attack. but when they finally got going more than a 1000000 listeners turned in at a time to hear the conversation and that conversation touched on various topics. the former president did not shy away from taking jobs at his democratic competition. and what i can tell you is this, if we cannot have a democrat, we cannot have her. she's in confidence. she's as bad as bided in a different. yeah, she hasn't done an interview since his home. a scam started and, and say what you want. this is a cool. this was a cool of a president of the united states. he didn't want to leave and they said we can do it to nice. yeah. oh,

we can do it the hard way. a trump also railed on the current president foreign policy moves while an office, touching on the situation between russia and ukraine. he says, the of doesn't have enough manpower to continue this fight. no man of his and he was a horrible president, the worst president in history. and one of the reasons it was so bad. first of all, these really attack would have never happened. russia would never have attacked ukraine, and we'd have no inflation. and we wouldn't have had the afghanistan, you take a few of those events away and we have a different world. many more people have been killed in ukraine than you read about . you don't read about how bloody it is and how does that look. just send the 2 armies, your last a half a 1000000 people. if you think about it, rushes guns, no rush, it defeated germany with us. and they defeated depaula and you know, they've been around a long time. they're a big fighting for you. and ukraine now. doesn't have enough men then now using young man and very old man to fight. and it's, it's, we're in a very bad position. a smart president could have stopped that it wouldn't have

happened. all right, so let's bring him another chan in manila. could that be here? this interview, just another opportunity for trump to appeal to voters, right? but once again, he focused on attacks on us. president biden does the campaign of a messaging problem with when he continues to focus on biting or is that part of the strategy strategy? excuse me, to say this is just a continuation of by the end. if you vote for harris, you know, all of it was a little weird. but then as we know, those who are trump, supporters will support the ex post regardless of what he says. but the twitter or the b x space is with you on will be judged based on whether or not you have orange colored glasses on. now that live call was tuned into by millions of people from around the world. now, some estimates putting that number closer to 20000000 people when you tally up all the different live feeds by youtube, birds and people on rumble. notable people like marjorie taylor green and other members of congress were all listening into to the average joe from all over the

country, eagerly awaiting what sort of spectacle might arise from this conversation that's led by you on much, also known for his often outrageous antics online so while this talk was all over the place, ranging from trump's positions on anything from the ongoing conflict in ukraine to the domestic economy, to even comparing comma harris to his own wife, milan you, those back the be the talk bounced around like a game of pong. and maybe i'm dating myself, there are actually a feature is a feature. it's not a bod band with you on mosque. citing that he could actually have a conversation with trump, unlike bite and or harris, which presumably mosque has had the opportunity to do so on many occasions. so it's arguable that the, the trump vance campaign doesn't have a messaging problem. rather,

it's that they have so many and they haven't whittled it down to a narrow focus at this point. however, worth noting, ben is that the new harris campaign has not provided any of their positions on any particular items, their games, their goals, their platform on any major topics plaguing the country, much less the world, nowhere to be found on the campaign website. that's right, nor has she even had any off the cuff interviews with, with the media so much later went on to tweet that he would like to host harris on a spaces as well that that would actually be, i think, much more interesting than the trouble. and because we don't know any of her positions on virtually anything, and also the fact that she doesn't not only seem to have a stand on anything, but you'll say day one, i'll start doing this. you're in office now, right. a she, she's running life. she's the, the upstart candidate and it seems the incumbent is the way she's running right now . it's actually a pretty good strategy, but it's interesting. now i have another question for you. but before i do like

a comment, i just want to get your opinion, how much is a terrible interview? i guess was one of the worst interview. something listed to that. you think it's so hard to listen. i love you mama, i think it has a lot of really interesting things i think is an incredibly smart person. yeah. he is a hero. and the interviewer is, oh oh, the whole time. it's so hard to listen to him and try and going back and forth. to me that was the hardest part of visiting to 2 and a half hours of, of stuttering and stumbling. well that, but i'll just say this much, i don't think you or i are at threat of ever losing our jobs to you on my not that i think he can. he bought the one. so get another job. yeah. fair enough. okay, let me, let me ask you this village, cyber attacked by the way that started off with this whole thing. so i was trying to listen. and as you probably you were to manila at 8 pm eastern and you couldn't get on this thing. right? you took 40 minutes to get on the right. it was the only hurdle and the interview before the sit down, the commissioner sent out this kind of veiled threat. the law must saying that the european union will be closely watching for any incitement on the hatred or

violence. i mean, listen to you. this is, this is obviously what they do by their obsession with speech. just kind of another example, i guess, a questionable responses out of europe after the riots in the u. k. last week sparked a deadly knife attack mis information about the suspect fuels social media. i prompted the okay government to urge citizens to think before you post, but this idea, i mean i, it's all thought crime. it's like we don't like you saying certain things and, and, and the standard they put on a lot of us can twitter very different than they have on google or as they have on meta. again, this idea that you're thrown in jail for expressing discontent online. and again, everything you heard that, that news anchor, read them in a lot. it is so questionable because it's all relative, right? you posted information and images that stirred up feelings and people and, and that's not what crime. and it's also, in particular, it says it not well then the, the constitution and the 1st amendment is

a beautiful thing to have a look. although we saw breasts, it happened over 4 years ago. there's really not much daylight between terry baton what he's saying and what great britain is saying when it comes to a freedom of speech. so terry baton is the, the you commissioner for internal markets. it's his job. they say is to, to shape how people obey a set of rules that the european commission sets out specifically on the dsa. the, the digital services act, which they site as an online safety protocol aimed at curbing this information online. now critics of the dsa, they argue this is nearly a, a censorship tool with language too broad and, and it would give government wide breath for interpreting so called misinformation or even hate speech. the latter is what we're seeing as a wide net that's being cast across the u. k. basically criminalizing descent from

anything that strays from approved government orthodoxy. now baton at the commission is now picking a fight with you on musk directly saying that if musk does it in a fact sense or people like the original twitter did well, then the e u is just gonna go find him 6 percent of excess global revenue. not just that, you know, coming from the you so much so far has responded by what else been trolling baton on twitter, posting the letter baton, sent him online, vowing not to back down in defense of free speech and worth noting ben george orwell. the iconic author of 1984 was british. so, you know, maybe he was just way, way, way ahead of his time. yeah. he said it certainly was by the way you're most controlling him. those are things we love about him about may not be good interviewer, but the trolls like no one outside the sorry,

the russian forces have gained control over parts of the beloved. the region of incurs following a field ukrainian often some to advance further interruption held territory and just the kind of past couple of days since the escalation of conflict, ukrainian officials reports substantial losses with casualties reaching up to 1600 soldiers. regardless of one's perspective, the loss is on both sides of this war are a profound tragedy. there's no question about that. well, no question, unless you're us senator lindsey graham, who traveled to camp on monday and describe the recent developments and those depths as beautiful. what i think about pers free and keep it on the bottom line is ministration. i appreciate your support with these big woodlands. they need to wait and they can't afford to lose when it comes to have 6 things. wait, they're near to the present. zalinski just

a few minutes ago. if you reside at $630.00 and you're looking to buy for freedom do, are you here? they're going to walk throughout nato nations. are willing to retire to come help them until they get their power train. i mean, just absorbing all of that, right? the idea that you're going to get these people, the weapons, he says stuff, we have a war, they can't afford to lose. they can't when it is on winnable and been calling on on retired f. 16 pilots across nato. nations including the united states to go to ukraine and to fight against the russians right now. but it seems like russia is, is still in this position where they're choosing to not advance as aggressively as a could be if they wanted to. they still seem to be doing that. lindsey graham is just, it's just like he's turning people up to go over. busy get help. i mean, ben,

if you're calling up retirees, you're likely signaling to 50 plus year old man who have families and lives that had been out of the service for a long time, to up route themselves to go volunteer to effectively die in this war. and as you can see, very bad behind lindsey graham is senator richard blumenthal, a democrats. he nods a long as bram calls for more arms to ukraine, suggesting or i would even say demonstrating that continued war is a bi partisan topic here in washington. it's, it's not a promising outlook for piece i would say, given that, you know, ukraine just got their hands on some f sixteens, but they don't really have any goose or mavericks to fly in bed. these legacy jets have been used by nato and the us for over 30 years. but these were planes are not going to be provided by washington directly around 60 of them had been promised by

belgium, norway, the netherlands in denmark. but it's going to be a slow trickle on delivery. many war skeptics see this simply as sort of appeasement of zalinski and a bit that the jets won't have real significant impact on battle ground conditions . since russia has air superiority as well as in general, the man power needed to step up the heat. but then this is also being viewed as the last salvo by joe biden, who, along with lindsey graham back in 2014, we're among the cool cookers in ukraine so, so as the sun sets on the bite and administration, he and that era of cohorts are sort of grasping at ways to salvage this decades old design by just trying to throw some old pilots into the cockpit for keep. yeah, it's such a, it's such a bizarre request. ask, as you said, 50 year old retirees to go travel to ukraine and to get into these planes and basically go to your desk. because again,

this is not something where russia has been, has been pushing to take more ground. they're not. if i don't know what's happening there, but it certainly appears as if russia is, is, is giving time to finally get to a piece agreement. but it all remains to be seen what happens with the election. obviously, that's a big part of what this looks like. and what it looks like going forward and another chance. thank you so much. all right, we're going to go for a quick break. but when we come back, we're going to dive into these massive protests taking place in serbia. and in the middle of it, all you guys do, black rock, of course they are say to will be right back. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by tell us to do vision with no real opinions. pictures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills,

and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the release of the russian states never as one of the most sense community best english i'll send send up the in the 6595 and speed. what else calls question about this? even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the rush to day and split our t supposed neg, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for the question,

did you say even closer to the you've probably never transitioned out of the ninety's kyle to politics or not just continued all the way over the way for you. and of course, don't seem to be trained that i never had a breach of charge to come and take some stability is the power all site the the and welcome back on bins. one, this is direct impact. take a look at this video, the 10s of thousands flooding the streets of bell rate on saturday, protesting against a plan to lift him mine in the country. it was one of the largest demonstrations in

survey. in recent years, the crowd rallied against the enrollment of multinational corporations like real thing. so and black rock saying that they are exposing the resource rich region where that mine will be located. so joining me now to help break all of this down, i have geopolitical expert and serbian residents, and net malik. net thanks for being here. thanks for having the best. so we've been reading that there have been over 50 protests across the country since just june. take us through these protests, how large are they obviously, from that video there. it's an incredible number of people turning out. has there been violence and is the government taking the seriously? well, the building and protests from saturday night was pretty much the most massive one . i believe the police have estimated good size and about a 100000 was a lot of people. i've never seen anything big and that they did easily outmatched the sheer mass of people that gathered last night to sort of greet the olympians coming back. you know, joke of a joe kitchen the and then the crowd. so,

and that's usually the biggest demonstration in belgrade. and any given year the a purchase elsewhere in serbia have been almost as big for, for their respective regions as they have not been violent. there has not been any sort of violence, there's been attempts by the political opposition to hijack the projects and sort of divert them into their services, their objectives. the government so far has a regard to them as with forbearance and annoyance, they haven't moved very aggressively to break them up. they basically just caution people against any sort of violence and said that the re attentive thing is a done deal and young people shouldn't be fussing over or yeah, but last month the german chancellor, all of the shows was in bill, right. the praise that tentative deal between serbia and the you for the extraction, the delivery of lithium to the european blog. you know, the, you know, kind of sees this deal was a way to become independent of lithium from china and other regions. the problem is this couldn't be, i guess on one side and economic boone for serbia. but there are enormous

environmental concerns and we know this right lift and mining is not clean in any way. in fact, the lithium that we use for batteries and we use for all this clean technology is actually incredibly destructive to the environment in order to extract it as a not well from what i've seen analysis wise, real tend to basically intends to dig this enormous open pit process the dirt from it to using so for a gas it be strapped to lithium and then dump the left over is sort of either in the same pit or off to the side and did not really do any sort of cleanup. the company hasn't said they would do otherwise, the government hasn't said they would do otherwise. and one of the biggest problem is, is that however much high quality this lithium is, it's right under some amazing, both natural beauty and prime agriculture, a land and a prime. agricultural land is one of those things. it's a very short supply. yeah. and that is a, that's a global problem, right?

it's not just a, certainly an issue globally having strong agricultural and, but serbia, in terms of history here, you know, in terms of european countries, it still maintains very strong ties with russia. and with china. it's kind of a rogue within europe in that regard. right now serve you as president is about to approve of massive deal to deliver that lithium though to the e. u. a. so is that part of the concern here is in regards to kind of the geo politics of it or does the average serbian person not really care about that? that part, they're more concerned about agriculture, food environment. well, the fact of germany is sort of the point country of the you on this project is incredibly troubling. because the germans have a history of invading serbia twice in the 20th century. and also at the end of this entry, you is part of nato's armada. and 1999 and breaking up you was la via in the 90 ninety's. and so having charlotte's come here and say, oh we thank you for giving us the ro resources that we need. also, there will be environmental consequences, but not for us. uh,

it did not go well it, it went over like the proverbial lead balloon in the serbian public. and i think that's one of the reasons, a 100000 people to the streets of belgrade on saturday. you know, it's interesting that you said that because i think at the core of what's happening here, the players who are most involved in this have no real ties to serbia, right. other than the serbian government given permission here. but as you said on the point person for this is germany on the east side. and then you have companies like black rock who are involved in this. and, and when you have those kinds of multinational corporations that are coming in and they're taking advantage you have outside for, and governments that are taking advantage. what are the people to think other than the fact that they're, they're being hoodwinked through all of this? right. they mean here we do think that they're being colonized and they, the, she might theoretically be easier if the colonizer was somebody from a friendly country. but considering that the was done nothing with black, male, and abuse serbia for the past 25 years. it's a, it's a tough pill to swallow that for sure. you know,

we've talked about that kind of the legitimate concerns of protesters, but those of us working in alternative media all too familiar and i know you are to now with the color revolution playbook. are there bad actors using in these protests who are kind of seeking to overturn the current serbian government? is there an effort right now to get one that's totally aligned with western europe and one that's more aligned with the united states? do you think that's happening? well, the pro western opposition tried their hand at general elections and failed miserably earlier this year you'd be basically got, wiped out and, and got. busy a few seats in the parliament as well as local governments. they blamed the election fraud, which was never proven. and uh, is there active. it keeps coming up in these groups. keep turning up in these protests like a bad penny trying to divert the crowds, energy, and sort of bill channel it to their own pet causes that they don't really care about. lithium, just like they didn't care last year about kids getting shot up in schools. they,

they just use a whichever cause they embrace on a daily basis to help them all over turn to government. and this, in this instance, the russians actually send to build rage and official warnings with their intelligence saying they'd be on there. are people trying to use this as a screen for a color revolution? and i would like to remind you of yours that serbia was actually the place where the 1st modern colored revolution took place back in october 2000. that that was the us test of the playbook for winning other people's elections as wondering, those were described it. and then the later use the same template then implemented in georgia and then in ukraine twice and other places. so serbians are very, very sensitive to any sort of mention of color evolution because they've been through this once and they don't want to go through that again. yeah, you know, we started this interview and you, you said at a certain point, a president of the country, the government is essentially saying to these protesters, you can protest,

you can be mad. this is a done deal. is that the reality of it, or is there any opportunity, do you think any chance that this deal does go away, if enough people stand against it, or is it pretty much guaranteed this is going to happen? dyslexia might honestly, i'm a little bit baffled by the fact that the serbian government, which is very p r savvy, is sort of fumbling this feels badly and not selling it to the people aside from, you know, saying shut up and enjoy us being a german living in colony, in a fact. so i, part of me thinks that they're, one of the strategies might be to sort of see how big these protests get and then tell the germans into you, look, you know, the people are on the edge of revolting here. we can go ahead and proceed with this, but you know, you never know. i mean we have to enter isn't supposed to start doing anything for another 2 or 3 years. and there, that's steps of attorney be politically in europe these days. it is an eternity. so

you, so there, there you're saying there's a chance that sounds like there is a chance that if these protests are big enough, and then it gives enough political coverage of the regime, they're able to push back against you because it seems like right now they don't have a lot of room to do that. well, the use sort of holding serbia hostage because we're surrounded by nato members. were surrounded on almost entirely by you members. and if they decide to impose some sort of economic blockade, even though it will hurt them immensely, it would certainly cause some hardship here. serbia has managed to be sort of a oasis of free trade between the you when the on one side and like russian and china on the other using that's neutral status and this politics of non interference and ukraine conflict. but if brussels decides to be suicidal as they have been regarding energy from russia, for example, then you know, there will be definitely tough times ahead for everybody. definitely. so, and as you said, you know, it's a very difficult place right now to be neutral,

politically, in any part of the world, especially in eastern europe. right now. it's a very difficult place surrounded by nato. the us, the western europe pushing very hard for all kinds of reasoning, change all over the world. so an interesting, interesting conversation malik, thank you so much for your time and your insight on this. thanks for having me. absolutely. well, that is our show for today. we want to remind you that we're here every day, keeping an eye on the stories that have a direct impact. so you next time the, [000:00:00;00]

the joe biden catastrophic debate performance and the attempted assassination of donald trump. i shuddered. many narrow trips about american politics binding isn't sharp, is attack, and trust isn't an ex essential threat. officially sanctioned narrative of clause the ukraine never transitioned out of the ninety's. the kind of child to politics of the not just continued will or the went all the way through. yeah, of course to go see the crime that i never had

a patient tries to come and take some stability is the power all site the the plane with nuclear took care of the cave. and that's it. take over the course of the nuclear power plant in an incursion into the region is it hasn't black manager as well. so according to russian special forces facing the flux is the subject to wave of condemnation as the un security council. this misses it, excuses why more than a 100 civilians left for to the type of school. this is only part of the terrorist were eliminated on said that more than a 100 people died. many of the victims will re, man and children really and some sort of an infrastructure should not be
