the fire was calmer. so these things very much wanted and opiates passage from the far east to europe and the united states guns need money. only money in these mountains is open drug trafficking, politics, some power. the error of empires on the ukraine's ministry says it's advancing in the east with no mention of it's along the way to counter offensive. the other ones are in georgia. this is obviously are a life and death also coming on us secretary of state, heads to saudi arabia, urging the kingdom to normalize ties with his right form of us. the vice president, like penance officially enters the race for the white house,

setting himself up for challenge against his former boss. i'm canada is government forms of was to converse. the country faces most severe while policies in the beginning in ukraine, where president brought to me as an excuse praising his troops for advancing along the front line. the military describes it as offensive action, but it stopped short of the caring, its long awaited counter offensive. ukraine's been coming for months to break through russian lines and the deadline and the conflict which you have judging. of course, i will not from avoiding i'm grateful to every one of our soldiers. all our defenders who during this day have provided the news we have been waiting for. we see how russia reacts historically to every step. we take their all positions. we have taken, the enemy knows that ukraine will when they see in us, they feel it thanks to your strikes warriors, especially in the den screeching lights. i want to particularly highlight the fits

separate the salts brigade and the 57th, a separate motorized, infantry brigade of which skilfully decisively and effectively defended our positions destroyed the occupiers. okay, and most importantly, move forward to mark them was that advocates comments come on a day of claim and counter claim. russia denies losing territory and says, numerous assaults. i've been pushed back charles front, but at the latest from case the russian army says this video shows ukrainian military vehicles being forced to withdrawal off to a failed attempts to push into russian occupied territory in the southern donuts region, the eastern new grain. so if you're on june, the full for you had to be launched, an unsuccessful attempt at a large scale offensive in the south. so next direction, 6, economics to me to talk battalions of the enemy will activated. the goal was to break or defend cease in the most vulnerable and very of opinion, sectors of the front. the enemy did not the treatments tasks. it has no successes

or the statement which is difficult to independently verify comes. a few days of ukraine's president below them is zalinski said he's all full sees what now ready for a long way to to cranium counter offensive. his foreign minister implied the same. we received enough weapons to begin the counter offensive, but i will say again, my answer is always the same to this. i will say that we received enough of weapons. often we win because until we have and one and there is, there will be never enough of weapons. ukrainian military says this video shows russian positions coming under heavy fall to the south of town at the moment, which russia claimed full control over the last month. was late, so the leader of the russian motion, we group, wagner released an audio message saying ukrainian forces were making small games in

the village of best cute little town. yet again blamed russian defense minister said again, shall i go? i'm chief of general stuff. larry cause him off. just part of the cuba has already been lost. the troops are quietly running away. what a disgrace should i go get us the most. i heard you go to the front line, pick up a gun and make the trip stand up and move forward. come on, you can do it. and if not, you will die. he rose, ukrainian military and recent days as little as what can be described as a campaign of silence. it released this video aimed at the public, the media and ukrainian soldiers appealing for silence on the counter offensive in order to preserve some element of surprise. me the claim and counter claims. there was increasing evidence of an intensification of fighting of various locations along the front line. whether this represents the beginning of the long awaited

ukrainian counter offensive and efforts by ukraine in full seas, to find week spots in russian defense. or indeed these a small probing attracts ahead of the launch of full scale operation. last will become clear in the coming days. it's all stuff around your 0. keith was ministry experts say a ukrainian counter offensive could be a typical turning point in the world, but there's no guarantees of success. a general google and there are a huge exceptions to this to go for, for example, it's rock was the heat that the general rule is. you need a 3 to want you medical preponderance inserted. the credit is do not have that. what they do have a time, a sample is local, superior asi and equipment on the human element, which is where all the leadership which says you will be going to try to get close set. and it will be followed, developed in ukraine and saw that the rushing difficulty is of course, the length of the lines and,

and the degree to which they can penetrate interruption lines before coming into the rushing arrow brother. which means that it'll be valuable to russian arrow talk that will be fully aware of that. so what we can expect that's and come to the next few weeks and months is not one operation, but many causes to reinforce a contra tax. when the russians make you show the flanks accounted on sustaining pressure while it's producing results. but this isn't going to be decisive any time soon to be set box on the plan inside of the successes. and why don't you care about most of those? i suspect often once you're effective state, down to me blink comes heading to saudi arabia. on tuesday, before he set healthy, spoke to a lovely group in washington. i know it's a kingdom to normalize ties with his rep. united states has a real national security interest in promoting normalization between is real and saudi arabia.

we believe that we can and indeed we must play an integral role in advancing it. now, you know there's just that this can be done quickly or easily, but we remain committed to working towards that outcome, including on the trip. i'm about to take this week to jetta and re add for engagements with our saudi and goals counterparts. all white house correspondent kimberly healthcare has more the normalization of relations between is real and saudi arabia is a top priority for the united states because the us sees it as. * tied to its own national security interest, and as a result, the us secretary of state antony blinking will be traveling to the region. he'll be traveling to re it as well as jetta. to have conversations about how that can continue to expand. already there has been commercial air traffic between israel as

well as saudi arabia. but the united states feels that there can be much more in terms of economic development, advancement in terms of stability, prosperity and integration. so this is what those conversations will be about. it's a building upon the abraham accords hatched under the trump administration. but the obstacle in all of this is the acquiring of a nuclear weapon or the attempts to do so by iran. some things as the white house says, is not an option in the eyes of the united states. and as a result, all options are on the table for preventing that should of ron decide to ignore the path to diplomacy for resolving this issue. the national security council spokesperson john kirby. it's making it a white house briefing on monday, said though, however, if a ron schuster opened up an embassy and re odd. and this would certainly help transparency. it would also help the stopping and intercepting of ships then that would be very good in the not eyes of the united states. what is not good in the

eyes of the united states or ron, having a nuclear weapons, something that the united states will do all it can to prevent. kimberly help him out to 0. the white house abilities. oh gosh, is an independent saudi arabian foreign policy, unless he says the normalization of ties is not likely to happen any time soon. if the only thing that i that may happen, that may happen, or our flights from uh television to, to get to regarding the pilgrims. that is even in itself at best, very doubtful. we have to start, but that could happen. i don't anticipate anything else. materialize income and the reason being is that many people are, are kind of jumping on this bandwagon of speculation because i think that is really government as well as the, the united states administration are really putting a lot of effort in the speculation for different reasons. first is ready to

government requires this and is building this strategy. i would call strategic speculation because it wants to give the notion or the impression that normalization would subject ravia is very much on the horizon. and it's very close in order for it to alleviate any kind of pressure domestically, any political pressure domestically history. so it wants to give the illusion that it's really you trying to reach an incredible milestone. and it's more of a policy. well, that's a lot more further than we could expect. and the reality now when it comes to the united states lives side by side blinking and others like dig sullivan, like even lindsay grounds. anybody that tries to deal with saudi arabia given the, the very demonizing rhetoric that they have recently, they will require something to legitimize their approach to saturday radio. and

that is the normalization and the abraham, of course, a former us vice president mike pens has officially entered the 2020 full rates for the white house. pence has been, will pitch them against his former bus. donald trump unofficial reports from washington dc. we gave america a new beginning for life. he said that we could, everyone knew he would be no, its official. after spending months laying the groundwork, former vice president mike pens has filed the paperwork to take on his old boss because the republican presidential nomination. pence went against donald trump once before. he refused to block 2 bike and selection as president as trump one today. and ended up running for his life from his supporters. cuz he's going to have to address january 6th with donald trump, presumably right next to him. and that's going to be really interesting to see in terms of how he's going to answer that, how trop is going to respond. it's going to be really intriguing. i don't think he

has any chance of winning pens, joins a growing field. nicky healey is a former us ambassador to the u. n. as in instead of tim scott of south carolina. we knew if we weren't the ones that trump advisor, former new jersey governor chris christy field and the 2016 nomination fight, is expected to a nice and choose. the north dakota governor doug berg them will join this week to with is a hutchinson from arkansas who's already declared. both our names, hardly known i took their home states and at least favorites to draw posts under slaughter. the governor on desantis expect it to be terms the biggest challenger, but most pools have them hardly make a good dent in from sleep. that's given to others hot? no, they believe they could be the person to be trump. i think a lot of these people are running because they want to be president. honestly, i think a lot of them are running because they either want a cabinet position or they want to be the running me and they refused to attack

donald trump because they are afraid of the and they're afraid of his base. and they want to have that support to further their political ambitions. the field is already crowded on more unexpected to join, but they're all still a long way behind donald trump. mike pence hope so. you can create his own little bit of history and become the latest vice president when the top don't. just like the mind, he would ultimately have to beat job i all in fisher. i'll just eat a washington. have a showing, continues in savannah's capital costume fighting is intensifying between the army and the power ministry rapids the full forces. residents are reporting widespread looting ceasefire broken by saudi arabia. i'm the united states expired on saturday for neighboring. chun has taken him the biggest number of refugees from so that in many of the leading volumes in west and off for atrocities against civilians have been going on for years. and they've got worse. and so down this conflict interrupted the same as robbie's and speaking to refugees at the board or well,

we're here in the god, the refugee camp in eastern chad. and we were here just a few weeks ago when they were beginning to construct this camp. when they were beginning to populated with temporary shelters and relocating people here to better conditions. and as you can see, it's just the mushroom then exploded the tents in just one section. the mixture of shelters in just this area. go as far as you can see. and this is just one section . every direction you look in. there are similar types of housing and the organizers of this camp tell us they're already at full capacity. 7000 people live here now and they cannot, cannot accept any more. we've seen people sheltering under trees without permanent or temporary shelters, i should say. and we've seen many communities waiting for some kind of housing to open up the, the organizers say that there's just too many people to house here. they're going to have to go somewhere else. now that you an estimated that

a $100000.00 people would arrive here in about 6 or 7 months now they've hit that mark and exceeded it months ahead of schedule and age groups are now struggling to figure out what to do with the people that still keep coming because of the violence happening across the border into our, for in west star for in and around the main city of ocean. they know the people that are coming here tell us harrowing stories of what they experienced. it took them nearly 20 days $25.00 days, just to escape the violence from their villages, from their homes. they tell stories of men being killed in their sleep, women and children being forced to flee on their own families, being torn apart and looting and tilling on an industrial scale by groups of armed men by bandits that are operating unchecked in a security vacuum at the moment, most of most of the come here announces area including security forces in senegal, a lot of twos of using a child aspect. human shields, recent government purchase for sale. and i'm supplant in the following station in

the amazon, by the end of a decade or not. the black sea coast of tokyo has been particularly when the last 20 or something like 2 weeks worth of rain falling in a few hours. and that still true in the full cost, but for the resizing west. and so i have 2 kids looking drive and it's still a normally breeze down through stumble, even though you get to $21.00 degrees larger. breathing east and met nasa. something's moving things up, the car is up to about 35 degrees. the wind has been strong. a halt when further east. we said got terms of 45 to 48 in eastern iraq. that's right to balance or has been 4647. his problem. same is true in the west side of here on but this orange

talented and took place from the broker as they struggled to fulfill their own position while working to suffice. i've been on to low income funding, so i am obliged to work and have it waiting on the bench on now to sierra of the the book about to pick them out of our top stories here. this our us up to of state and to me, blink and says, washington, well, that's around develop nuclear weapons. they also of saudi arabia and israel to mobilize ties. lincoln's comments come a day before he is to travel to the form of us, vice president mike pens has officially enter the 2024 race for the white house

fence has been will fit him against this. for my boss, donald trump, ukraine's president has held his troops fighting in fact move. the military says it's conducting offensive action along the front line. that's instead of responsive along the way to counter offense. some breaking news now out of ukraine. the ministry says russian forces have blown up a hydro electric done in the south. the nova cobra them sits on the deep or river in the sun regions which russia controls. russian leaders reporting the down was destroyed by shunning and surrounding areas have been flooded. these upper region, nuclear power plant, further down the river, is said to be in the things you know, off the days of riots in senegal, following the verdict against opposition. the that was not sancho the government is cutting access to them about internet in certain areas. security forces also being accused of abuses including using a child as a human shield because hawk reports in the capital stack, the following days of riots instead of go the police say they're here to protect

the people. but in this video, widely shared on social media, the security forces are seen using an 8 year old boy as a human shield to stop protest who is from attacking them. a breach of article 15 of the un convention on the rights of the child. one demonstrator shouts, stop guys, don't throw in the wrong. look. the boys scare. then, the brute testers throw insults to the police. during a press conference, we ask the interior minister about this video. in synagogue we cannot take used security forces of using children as human shields. what if police were in fact saving and protecting the children? there was a lot of manipulation online. we spoke to the family of the young boy. they say they have received the threats and intimidation from authority and are now afraid to speak out right,

broke out nationwide after opposition. the do spence on go with sentence to 2 years in jail last thursday. his supporters say the verdict is politically motivated to eliminate, so go ahead of the presidential election of february 2024. the demonstrators have looted supermarkets, banks and people's homes. the government has been severely restricting access to the internet, shutting it down completely in certain neighborhoods. authority say it's the stop illegal gatherings in protest and prevent fake news, circulating independent journalist sports or tell calls it and curfew curtailing. freedom of speech. after posting critical posts, there were attempts to restrict her twitter people power of social media because a lot of complaints also comes from the idea that local media is not covering this much. local media is not covering much because they may be upfront as well. the riots have now subsided. the government tactics seem to be working and keeping

people off the streets. but despite the internet restrictions, their protest movement is moving online to express the set and fuel agger. nicholas hawk, elders the right, the car customize prime minister as how talks with you and us officials of the days of unrest. you envoy presented proposals to de escalate attentions and a whole new elections fall is broke out last month off the election of ethnic albanian mans. and so majority areas of the big as more from christina, it hasn't been an agreement reached, but the e u and the us department. so the key distressed that the l friends of cost of on the what the best full cost of all, but they have 3 demands. they want to the escalation of the situation. they want fresh elections. and they also want to dialogue choosing between christina and valid. great. that probably mr. i've been good. the has suggested that he's open to the idea of pressure elections, but there's no guarantee that the ethnic says in those full minutes, the positive old boy clicked those elections again. and if they do comfortable,

we'll find itself in the very same position as it does now. now there are discussions taking place over the next few days between those different months and politicians here in pristina. we also understand that they will be meeting with essex said, represent the representative in the north of cost of, of now that haven't been any further attacks against nato troops. although we have heard from comfortable police, they have vehicles and offices have been targeted in those full municipalities. we also heard that in north mitchell, it's in there. it's dominated by ethnic says, 2 ethnic albanians were targeted by what christine nicole's, a fascist relation of that happened earlier on in the week. so the tensions remain, although it has been common peaceful over the last 2 days. but those tensions still remain and there's an understanding why diplomats, that the solution, at least at the escalation, will come from christina and valid great. but in north costs of all those ethnic

country that issue. and the war in ukraine has defined tobacco between these 2 countries for the security council scenes. but when i us the deputy prime minister of slovenia, about her arrival, she was being most diplomatic. we were designing a positive campaign. that means that we were promoting slovenia and our goals, what we want to achieve, so frankly, or i don't want to judge others. everyone has a certain rights to be a member, the rules for the voting and the security council elections which take place in the un general assembly is that the winning country has to get at least 2 thirds of the total membership of the u. n. if they don't, they keep on focusing. james pays out as era at the united nations. canada is on track for it's west of a wall pharmacies and it's buckling hundreds of fires and several proteins stays with many burning out of control. more than 20000 people have been evacuated from
