tends to reverse this, we're in trend fighting and sec together on, on al jazeera. we know what's happening in our region. we know have to get to places that others can know as far as instead of going or the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. the we can definitely say that the counter offensive has begun. bushes president vladimir persian says ukrainian forces had been pushed back the climate by silence from kings. the hotel mccrae, this is all just a life and also coming up so down for inside degree to another 24 hours. so as far as stopping on saturday,

a day off to the trump is indicted on federal charges. 2 of his lawyers quits with 2 east fines plays across canada. 2000 people had been moved to shelter and british columbia the for the 1st time president, platinum, it person has said you crime is expected offensive is underway. there's been speculation for months about when you try and would launch a renewed push on the eastern front line. last week has seen a 10 special sponge, keith has maintained silence. we can definitely say that the counter offensive has begun. we can state that since they using strategic reserves from the ukraine, you know me not in any of the directions, have they achieved any of that goals? this is obvious. put in the comments came up to russia's defense ministry release

video sent to show ukrainian forces being pushed back in this operation region defense minister. so guy sugars says keith has suffered heavy losses in a fail the cells rusher controls 80 percent of the separation region. which you any journalist julia shuffle over is in most go with more on this that we just had from present person. and he said, that's the ukrainian counter offensive indeed, hadn't begun. he noted that ukraine now use it, strategic reserves, according to periods. and none of the goals have been achieved by the ukranian troops of a defensive potential of the country and will be armed forces of ukraine still remains. he noted that in recent days, the armed forces of ukraine had experience significant losses. and he also praised the coverage of russian soldiers at the same time, we see how many really warring things have been happening just in the past several

hours here in the country. there was several drone attacks in different regions of the country, closer to the ukrainian territory, the throne of tax or reported in the border states of belgium rolled in the city, of course, and the veronica sure. and the south western part of russia in verona is a, they're all sort of pools the, the armed forces of ukraine allegedly find missiles at a children's stomach comp, in the here southern region, according to operational services, russian operational services, the com was presumably made by british storm shadow cruise missiles, russia's defense systems reported national down one of them that ended the russian defense ministry also released a statement regarding russia's advances and a number of directions. these operations had done as care stone and the pianist directions were mentioned that so the ministry reported about russia's progress and all the directions. so let's turn to the ukrainian perspective and present below them is that landscape has been prizing his troops for what he called results for

the east, and the donate screech and shoot the school. but we are in constant communication with our military commanders of the courts. it's on top of your groups of forces with all those involved in the most heated combat areas. don't ask region faces, very tubs bottles, but there is a results and i am grateful to everyone who ensures this presented patriots in military experts. so your crime is expected to counter offensive will focus on the separation of region team is trying to regain access to the see of as all, by splitting, occupying russian forces in the region into russia. annex most of separation, including europe's largest nuclear power plant during its invasion in february 2022 . which on how has moved from keith, as you cried is keeping details very closely under wraps. in fact, it's become a piece of policy that ukraine will not. it says give a running commentary on events around the summer counter offensive. it won't even as you say, uh, confirm whether that offensive, as many people suggest,

has in fact be gone. and you get a sense of this, god, in nature with the details from what a presidency. lensky himself was saying that talking about heavy bottles under way talking about results being achieved. not saying the what those results all he does specifically mentioned back most that city in the east in don't that region the scene of some of the most bloody and prolonged battles of the war that was captured by russia just last month. we know in the last few days, the ukrainian units have made incremental gains towards the number of villages in the vicinity of black. we're talking about games of just several 100 meters as reported by the ukranian side, but creating the picture of an attempt to try and flank back moved under the circle it and the russians within it. and it may be that to which president zalinski is reciting when he said that there are results. i am grateful to those who achieve those results well done in black moods, he said, step by step to sit down down. the army and the parent military rapids support

forces have agreed to a one day 6. 5 staffing says today, the truce was broken by the us and saudi arabia who had been facilitating talks between the warring factions instead of fighting broke out across the down. in mid april. the safe spot has been to allow the safe passage of humanitarian aid, previous truces forming through have a morgan has moved from on demand us. when we asked residents here in the capital, how soon would these thoughts of the latest these fire that is due to thoughts on saturday at around 6 am local time or for a m gmc, they say that they have very little hope to believe. and as they say that this team, how previous these parts have played out between the rapids support forces, i'm the city news army and is very little to give them a reason to believe that this time would be any different. now, the statement from the ministry of foreign affairs of saudi arabia makes it very clear that they should be normally 3 movements from both sides. the statement also expresses frustration of the fact that there has been violation in the previous

these fires that was signed between the 2 sides in decided, city of kit, and says that should the 2 sides not adhere to the 24 hours these fire, then tossed in before the city of kid that would be suspended. now this comes as slicing intensifies between through rapid support forces in the southern parts of the capital for 2 and in other parts of the capital. residents who we spoke to on fridays, said that they were able to hear heavy artillery being exchanged between the rapid support forces. and this is denise army in the southern parts of the capital here and on demand, we were also able to hear the answer. no explain slang. overhead we were able to hear heavy artillery being fired from. what were you saying, what, what do we know is the army position here in the city towards the northern part of the capital, how to tune and to what the western part of on demand city. all of this, of course, is coming as the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate. now the mediators say that during the next 24 hours, during the period of the ceasefire,

there should be who is here in a deliver to those in need. but again, people say they've seen the previous piece parts and how it's been played out between the 2 sides. and they have very little reason to believe that this time would be any difference. he but morgan hodges 0. i'm the man. hey, the organized oceans. and so down, so humidity, or in catastrophe, is unfolding in the west, off for region medicine, food and water supplies, and l. janine are exhausted. this concern for i think could spread to other parts of the region including neighboring chairs, but many certainly civilians arriving design best probably has moved from outright and eastern chad. escaped from su, done after a perilous journey. arriving from west star for they say error, malicious setup checkpoints, searching for rivals, demanding payments for safe passage. chatty and soldiers search for weapons, a final hurdle before refuge from the war we

fled to because we are looking for peace. there are problems over there. they kill you, they take your belongings, you want to be in a place that's peaceful. fuck the mice from al jeanine. the city has been in a state of seen. this man says dozens were killed, his village misdirect a bank of coma. myself. all the soldiers went to fight and come to the main and all village we. the civilians were alone. there was no government to defend us for more than 20 years. we have not had a government in mind that i mean who this is the only general hospital in audrey and administrators. tell us there are no more beds for the people that keep coming . the bulk of the patients currently at this hospital around 75 percent are all sudanese people who have been fleeing the conflict and are for of the doctors here

say they've never seen so many bullet wounds. there is not enough stuff, enough medicine for enough power, but we received 4 bodies here dead on arrival. i remember one person who had a bullet in their head one in the neck and one in the heart. there are also 2 people that were brought here whom we tried to stabilize, but unfortunately they passed away inter communal violence. estimate divisions, age old rivalries, pitting arrow tribes versus known airports. the answers to why there was violence in our for again, aren't meant. but one point every student needs village or will speak to him, seems to me chaos comes in the absence of governor as the violence in dar for worse and self. exec is the price for peace of mind. and

for survive zane bus route, the ultra 0 audrey eastern time, the united nations has suspended food. a deliveries to ethiopia a day off to the us decided to do the same to you in says that supplies are being diverted and a not reaching people a need. some reports such as federal and regional governments out in volts and widespread fift. about 20000000 people rely on age to the conflict and droughts. but 2 of donald trump's lawyers have quits a day after he was indicted in connection with the mishandling of classified documents. the charges against the former us president also include obstruction of justice. trump says he's been summoned to appear in court in miami on tuesday. a correspondent ellen fisher has moved from washington dc. as well. jim trusty has been on american television over the last few hours defending donald trump, saying that the charges against them were politically motivated. and he was

alleging wrong doing by the f b. i the department of justice without providing any firm proof. and then he's just handed in his resignation. he said with his colleague, john riley, they decided that they will tend to the resignations to donald trump. they will no longer act for him when it comes to the documents case of the judge of a 6 case, and they walk away from this. now we won't get anything more than that because of quite a time. the privilege, the what is clear is that for a man who was such a vociferous defender of donald trump just a few years a few hours ago to walk away, is quite a significant blow to donald trump's team. of course, he will not have to look for others who can help him out because he's doing court in miami. at 3 o'clock on tuesday afternoon. he's got rallies planned in georgia and north carolina on saturday. and the organizers are saying they've seen a rush of people who want to attend those events. certainly there is a growing swell behind donald trump when he claims that he's been

a victim of what the fbi i in the d o j are doing. then that rings with a number of republican voters. you remember it was back in november of model lago here noticed this campaign that is very early in the campaign cycle. if i live in most people, however declared for president. and at the time, there was speculation that the reason he was doing that was to protect himself from any criminal charges. he would be able then to say, because i'm running for president again, any charges against me are political and that's exactly what he's doing. the columbia is government and the country's largest remaining rebel group have a great on a temporary cease 5 representatives from the government and the national liberation army or land are in cuba as capital. havana for 3rd round of talks. but let's go live to listen to rump t a t in the colombian capital of bulk of time. and the center of what exactly has been agreed here. yes,

the agreement that was announced just the minutes ago essentially means that to the colombian armed forces and the land a will stop all offensive actions against each other for the next, the 6 months that this cease fire will begin in earnest though in august 2 months, from now, all offensive actions will and at the beginning of july, and then on august, the 6 the suicides are hoping that all the protocols and the verification mckinney assume that will be at lab the by the united nations piece mission here in columbia will be in place, so the 6 months of this 1st temporary, bilateral cease fires, will start on august the 6th. and now the idea is that after the 6 months that the cease fire will continue. and again,

it will be key here. how well that verification mckinney is admin and the communications channels that, that will now open between the columbia and government, the atlanta in the you and well work to deal with any incident that might occur in the different regions while the ceasefire is in place that lead being an negotiator for the government says that this is any story a deal and that many hard days of work ahead that will start now to make sure that to the the a will be implemented, deceased by a will be implemented and will be sustainable in time me use mentioned it that this is a historic and deal. can you just give us a little bit of context on just how big of milestone this is and why? well the national liberation army is i gave the girlfriend,

i'm the rebel groups that's been operating in columbia since that mean 1960. so we're looking at roughly 60 years of conflict with the colombian government. the am but, and particular in rural areas of columbia that i've always had little states pricing . they have that i had a huge political influence. they are off and operating as a sort of parallel or a states. and there have been countless attempts at reaching these kinds of agreements with the land. the last 7 governments have tried to have negotiations due to have a dialogue to at least reduce the violence, seeing these regions that but never before did that a and accept to sign at a sort of nationwide ceasefire with the colombian government. so this is unprecedented. it shows that there is

a political well part of the sides to reach finally, a peace agreement that has been elusive for a so long. and now there are obviously a number of silver linings here. things to look at that could complicate the uh, the success of this to a cease fire. one of the things that the experts talk about is the fact that the land works pretty much as a federal organization. so the regional commanders have a great decision, a power that's very different. for example, from the side grabel said that the other main rebel group operating and couldn't get the reach to any storage piece. deal with the colombian government back in 2016 . they are more virtuous, they stick these guys operate more as a federation. and in the past there have been commanders that have decided to take action against that. we're all of the central command of the airlines. so

a key issue here is, if indeed, these central commanders will be able to keep all of their forces and place and avoid confrontations and not only with the government but also. and this is the other big question here. what will happen with either on groups that operating area is that the influence of the land? well, they try to take advantage of this a ceasefire to expand their control over the territories. and what will the land do if that happens? so many questions here, but there's, there's no doubt that welcome this announcement comes, is that relief for a lot of people living in the region, seeing in columbia. and the expectations are high that the best means that indeed peace with the land will be possible in the coming months or maybe even years, because negotiations will be long and complicated. as you mentioned,

to history in the making. thank you so much. that is allison jerome, p a t, uh, from boca top, it was still a, his own l. just delta 0. how advisable source of income for the lebanese economy could be contributing to bad governments. and china is economy hits a speed bump where you look at both. that means for consumers the how do they control information? how does the narrative improve public opinion? how is this as intended? listen, we flaming the story, the listening post, i think the media, we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is covered. my social media feels demand for a curve. you're figure a controversial surgery to help people to cheap. it is on the rise. we've missed looking a certain way before we had kids with devastating consequences. they definitely don't care about their client. it's just all about the money fault lines travelers

. are you watching else? is there a reminder of our top story is this alex, russian president vladimir persian says your crime is offensive, has begun, and is failing. the last week has seen intense specials, but chief has maintained signs to donald trump's. lawyers have quits, a tie up to you with some taxes in connection with the mishandling of classified documents. the charges against the form of us president also include obstruction of justice. to don's warring sides have agreed to sound to one day ceased by on saturday. the truce was broken, funded us insomnia, right? the previous response had been repeatedly finalized in canada, a fine and deep wisdom province of british columbia has prompted the evacuation, the more than 2000 people. what are these have described as aggressive and volatile? nearly 105 as a building then on the other side of the country,

has pete's also an initial cost of business activities? following the end of coven $19.00 restrictions economists, a recent thing just in case of possible slowing of momentum. the important contracting industrial output fully showed his expectations and use on employment, hitting a record high factory gauge prices. the price distribute is paid to produces bill faster than expected in may, has reduced demand dams. and it's the recovery of the manufacturing sector, that early 1st of optimism that we would see, you know, a 12 month expansion in chinese economic activity when the economy reopened. i think that has faulted domestic spending is also down as people i'm ok for with the money choosing to save rather than sludge. so that the book is yes, i think there are some hurt from depend dammit, no many shop sell prepackaged meals to lower the price is because consumption is low, recovery will take time. and although travel restrictions have been lifted,

data shows more people may be taking holidays, but this spending less economies say there was several reasons for this. one comes on the, some people worrying about their top post, but, and we can see a lot of companies laying off people and also private economies slowing down in some areas. and then detroit, people from spending more hong says he's just happy he's business in georgia, the challenges of depend demik and so on. yeah. these popular years with difficult, but we still live as things will be competitive, the better will come. everybody come to china for business issues, despite the lack luster economic outlook. he says he has to believe in brighter days ahead. jessica washington out a 0. you china. the cash remittances from abroad have quite a big role, and they've been owns the economy for a long time. it's estimated that up to $7000000000.00 a sent to the country every year. st. ahold of reports from favorites,
