mobilizing it to turn ukraine into a tool in a war against russia, just like hitler, st most european countries to war in an attack on the u. s. s. r. just like then, today's west plans are bound to fails. one find by president loud to me to put in the new constitution and laws become official in russian federation. and moscow will redraw its map and that of ukraine on the battlefield. the reality is, different. russia only partially controls the 4 regions. it has claimed its army has been losing ground across the territory. its been occupying last month president led me to put in and now the mobilization of up 230-0000. the reservists, 200000 of them have already been deploy training is underway in 80 centers across the country,

a time. we follow it to a nearby field and within a minute the tell tale winding sails signal, it will fire in seconds. a minute later, a 2nd blast for the tank has moved into its operating position. we understand that they are firing a russian positions about 3 kilometers from here. the tanks, operating here are part of a wider counter offensive in the east. that is seen great success in recent weeks. time now is of the essence moved back into color before russian forces locate the foreign position and reply this tank. a soldier tells us, is one of around a 100 that russian soldiers abandoned. in the past month when they fled, the ongoing ukrainian army advanced. suddenly, the sound of

a jet fighter approaching we struggled to see it through the leaves, apart as its screams overhead. alexander says he has a wife and child waiting for him when the war is over. that he doesn't know when that will be the or who follows along our role as a tank regimen is very important because we are preventing russian forces from moving forward as our troops advance. nicola tells me he's not worried about the possibility of a push by thousands of new russian conscripts as part of russian president vladimir putin so called partial mobilization. don't matter. how many man they, they bring him, is that don't matter for us. our machine guns can shoot what kind of fallen around the minutes. if you shoot 5 or 50, i don't think our

politicians see that as a national security threat, a lot of georgia. i think that that because of this government and this government is kind of an i weston government on a kind of, you know, gambling with my shine foot same. so i mean, rush on influx is definitely a huge threat for that. here are the parliament, the ruling at georgia dream path. it keeps up it's election vouch of having a good relationship with russia and joining the european union. the country wants to become a bridge, if you will, between the european union and russia. the vice chair of the foreign relations committee says strengthening ties with russia is now a big ask. relations are bad tense and so dangerous for georgia because we don't have diplomatic relations and russia presents and existential threat to georgia, independence,

territorial integrity over the country in the very early stages of his bids that you membership many feel that this is the time to press more forcefully, membership of nato and in your opinion, is the most important in order to protect the georgia and civil and he and territorial integrity and the security. but the problem is that it's because of the war in ukraine. it is unlikely that georgia will get not a membership anytime soon, but as far as the new membership, i think georgia has quite good chances. their memories of the 2008 war with russia still fresh head. the graves of dead soldiers are still well tended. the image is coming from ukraine are familiar, and a reminder of the russian georgian war that's often described as the 1st european war of the 21st century before the war and ukraine. roche had no problem with the country wanting to join you. but to day, what russia, thanks, or when the e will allow them to join the club is unknown. it seems that george's dream of

being a bridge between russia and europe is further away than ever. emron con our desert tbilisi. ah, south korea and the us have tested surface to surface missiles in response to north korea's latest missile test. united states, as it will cool for a un security council meeting over the launch, which traveled further than any previous north korean missile. and was the 1st to fly over japan since 2017 fronting a warning for people there to take cover rock mcbride reports from so this is a major escalation and follows a prolonged period of increased missile testing by north korea. the intermediate range missile flu over northern japan, prompting a warning for people there to take cover. it landed in the pacific ocean and brought this response from japan's prime minister bus or, you know, ta, because

a lot of firing which fold a recent series of launches by north korea is a reckless act, and i strongly condemn it. it's 5 years since the north last fired missiles over the top of japan when relations were at their most tense in decades. burger county, chico abbey. it threatens the peace and security of the region. it is a serious challenge for the entire international community. guidance has been similar condemnation from south korea on as little north. korea fired a medium, long range messiah but a range of 4000 kilometers over japan. as i sat on armed forces day on october, 1st, such reckless nuclear provocation will face a decisive or response from our military, our allies, and the international community. already facing the toughest sanctions and largely shunned by the international community. the north seems undeterred with north korean leader kim jong on declaring last month that his country is now officially

a nuclear armed power and testing longer range missiles seems to send that message to the world. yeah, yeah. i mean, i think one way to read these tests pretty frequently is that they're sort of a demand for attention. north korea doesn't like being understood as the failed korea, where the weird korea so how's the real one compared to soccer? this launch comes as the u. s. and it's south korean and japanese allies wrap up navy drills led by the ronald reagan. the 1st exercise by an american aircraft carrier to korean waters in 5 years. and with warnings from south korean intelligence officials that the north could soon conduct its 1st nuclear test. since 2017 rub mcbride al jazeera. so north korea has found several missiles this year include ballistic cruise and hypersonic missiles. but tuesday launch was by far the most significant. not only did it fly across japan, it free more than 4500 kilometers before falling into the pacific ocean. and other

major launch was in january when north korea fired the why song 12, which is capable of reaching the u. s. territory of guam is how the year state department responded to tuesdays launch week. and dan, oh, this dangerous and reckless launch of a long range, ballistic missiles that move over to pan and it hose an unacceptable threat to the japanese public. and this action is a clear violation of multiple resolutions adopted by the un security council. and again demonstrates the threat that the tpr a ah hordes are both as it relates to it's a lawful once structured program, but also it's more submissions program and the threat than it poses to its neighbors as well. mike, hannah is in washington, dc. it has more on the reaction from the united states. so certainly the u. s. is stepping up its responses to these ongoing muscle tests. this is the 5th in some 10

days or so. certainly, great, concerned within the united states. also, the united states keeping very close contact with all the players, and the secretary of defense has been on the phone to his counterpart. president biden spoke to the japanese prime minister early in the day. you've got the state department leader, the national security adviser, all in touch with their counterparts, both in south korea and in japan. so clearly a great degree of concern of from the white house, but at the same time as well. a massive display of support for the allies in the region and a continual threat against north korea that greater action or stronger reaction will be taken. shouldn't continue. these ongoing muscle tests still to come this half hour, protest in the philippines. after a radio broadcaster is delicious to be targeted in a string of media killings, a desperate response to lebanon's financial crisis. frustrated customers hold up
