so in effect where it is those journal is atoria that are really giving the support for dis submission. you're calling it historic because you feel that this is really the beginning of a serious investigation. absolute. i mean, those to 1st stage were going should motion. this is, sir, this is not an israeli court. this is an international court is in the hands of all the countries or older people in the world. and we do hope that people who are inside the prosecutor, you know, they've, they've got to ways of how they're gonna follow through the investigation that they will take very seriously the document that we have given them. this is a for the 2nd one, the submission that we have made. the 1st one ross april. but this one is about the shooting on may, the 11th that affected the syrian and had 2 colleagues. does this mean that you have given up hope that israel will really do an independent investigation or the

american government will do a real independent investigation into her kelly? well, 1st for, for, for, for israel i would say yes. because over the years, a de channel of go in through a normal kind of fir, due process through these ready court never worked in every single case that some of the journalists, you know, took you to an israeli course. they came to nothing and we've got chapter and verse in terms of these judgments with the american is something completely different, is very fresh. her assyrian is the citizens and i would have saw that have gotten obligation to do something. and so far, yes, the have been small movement. we hope that they haven't buried in the file completely. and that prussia and united states will continue to force the american government to do something about it. thank you so much for joining us, sir. we will see what comes out of for today filing the ad complaint or what

troops of crossed the key river in the northeast to regain lost territory. crossing the oscar river is significant. it may pave the way for an assault on russian forces in the eastern don bass region. in the past few weeks, ukraine's counter offensive. the car keys and cast sold regions as gained momentum, and it's made some advances in low husk. let's go live, not a cave out a 0 set gabe alessandro is in the ukranian capital. tell us more about the fighting gape. what's the latest? it appears within the last 12 to 15 hours or so. what we're now seeing is another ukrainian counter offensive. this one focused around this city of layman. it's a city of about 25000 people. that's right. on the front lines. it's been held by russia for many months now, and it appears that ukrainian forces are close to encircling that

town. as part of this is counter offensive. it's significant because leman for 2 reasons is number one. it is a home to a major railroad axis for supply lines. and number 2, it's in don. yes, don yesco, a region of the don bass. so what it's showing is, is that the ukrainians, as part of their ne, counter offensive retaking almost all of the how to key region are now pushing further east and keeping the russians on the defense. encroaching upon more of the dumbass region. of course, the region that vladimir putin said was key. aah! for him. in terms of taking all of who hans can don't ask regions in as part of this war. and now it appears that the ukrainians are very much on the

offensive in don't ask, and even in lieu hans in area that the russians have pretty much controlled almost all of for many months now it appears ukrainians are now starting to encroach on that area too. so this is a counter offensive roundly man that we're going to be watching very closely as the ukrainians continue to seize the offensive here and sees the momentum in this war. people are starting to ask, what would victory look like for the ukrainians? we went out and spoke to many people here in cave, over the course of a day and asked their opinions, what does victory look like for you? this is what they had to say. on a recent day in downtown keith with ukraine, seizing the momentum, we asked people to define victory in the war against russia. when our territory was crimea, dom boss and carson will be ukranian again. when all the russians, okay, buyers will be back to russia. maebelle blue, the truth bought

a hole may be the will convict that because i will kill an old people. crimea for many here. victory includes reclaiming the southern peninsula, annexed by russia. 2014. we need to make the whole country free, including crimea. i know there are many people in the european union which who still do not believe in that i believe, and we believe that it happens time pass. and the, this happens for some, it's about joining military alliances. i yeah, had, i assure oh yeah, in my opinion we have to join little as soon as possible, but only with the support of our partners. can we guarantee our independence and wellbeing this war made us stronger, more powerful. we started to believe in ourselves more witness, and for others, victory is about making russia pay. oh, but more what? we have to reset our borders to where they were in 1991 when we gained independence

from the soviet union. but victory is also when russia will pay reparations to ukrainians to all those have lost their family. their homes in this invasion, victory means a strong ukraine, that nobody will ever tried to conquer. again, it was the ukrainian military counter offensive that re took the entire heart of keep region back from the russians. certainly has boosted morale, but ukrainians also know that with russia still in control of about 75 percent of the don boss, more than half of separation and all of the her so in region is very well. could be a long war in a country where for most the only debate is not if ukraine eventually will win. but what victory will look like when it does go, there are reports that russia is moving. it's naval assets in the black sea. what do we know about that yet appears that there with the

important in black sea fleet of the russian navy that is based in crimea, crimea the peninsula that the russians have held since 2014. after annexing it from ukraine that they have moved according to you k intelligence. some of their nuclear powered submarines from the co crimea region to the russian airport about 500 kilometers away. this is significant because it would mean that russia is trying to move some of their black sea fleet assets out of the range of ukrainian missiles, missiles it, and, and drones that we know have struck important parts of the russian military, a bases in the crimea region so if true, this would show that russia is at least acknowledging that they are in range in
