ukrainian counter offensive comes as a you defense minister meet in prague to discuss the blocks that military support for keith talks are expected to focus on options for setting up a training program for the ukrainian army. when able them to operate, west and weapons, is a look at some of the military. i do, cranes already receive ukraine's ammunition supply is about to get a boost. it's howard sir. artillery units will be stocked with a new toddler shell called the volcano. germany says it's sending several 100 volcano munitions to the front line. the gps and laser guided missiles reach up to 80 kilometers, almost doubling the range of most howitzers. already existing donated equipment is having an impact. hope so rascal, when they flew blue, they were shelling on slow vianza every day, bruce. but due to new weapons that were perceived from the west,

particularly high mars and poets is now chances have equalized. when you see they would have thought one of our shots was answered with 50 shots from them. well needed today. the ratio is $1.00 to $4.00 or $1.00 to $5.00 frequency. they didn't look at the this within the cathedral. hi mars are the us supplied long range mobile rocket launches, which have allowed ukraine to hit deep behind russian. liars, countries have pledged almost 90000000000 euros worth of equipment on military financing. the u. s. is by far the biggest donna followed by the united kingdom and the european union. poland is number 4. it's donations include how it, sir artillery vehicles like these to replace ukraine, soviet era tanks and canon losses that only i think the advance is more successful on our side because our equipment is more modern. we attack the occupiers. more precisely. germany is the 5th biggest military donor. it is now pledged almost

2000000000 years worth of aid, including anti aircraft vehicles and training for troops to operate them. the melody is in to men who are here will defend their country, highly will. they will defend it against the terrible threat posed to ukraine by russia's brutal war of aggression. and we will continue to support them without financial capabilities, but also with weapons of, with in buffalo and private individuals have also sent 1000000 for help ukraine by drones, for its fleet of rise in the sky. foreign support has been crucial in keeping ukraine's resistance efforts afloat and helping it defend its territory for longer than anyone expected. let's take a closer look at this with dr. marina moran, who's a postdoctoral researcher from the defense studies, the palmed kings college london. welcome to d, w. a. want ukraine's counter offensive have been possible without these foreign

weapons? well, actually a counter offensive is being discussed right now because the ukrainian forces, i essentially good at defending, not as offensive operations. so obviously, the likes of high mars haven't able to offer some resistance. however, as a ukrainian defense minister sat in war, you to be able to mount a successful counter offensive in her song. they would need at least $100.00 timers systems in the ukraine. and right now they have less than 20. so from that perspective, the weapons have been useful to create some parity in terms of artillery. however, there have been other issues associated with the systems because ukrainian forces received quite a variety of them from different countries, including france,

germany, britain, and obviously the united states. and each of this, the system has its own requirements. so it's not about having those systems. it's about reading them, it's about sustainment and maintenance of the systems. and that sort of brings us on onto my next point which, which is we have a you defense ministers meeting today who say they also want to boost a military training for the ukranian army. and from what you've said there, this would be a good thing if we had one center sort of coordinating that the training and making sure that it's rolled out across all these platforms. absolutely, however, the main question i have nieto is already undertaking such training of ukrainian forces and in the u. k. so there are quite a few questions that are associated with this. and joseph burrell was very vague in his statement today, as far as this problem is concerned, where will it take place? how long will it take?

who will beat trainings, ukrainian, with military personnel and who will be paying for, for this military training? not to mention how will nieto and specifically the united states, the and the united kingdom look at this training program. will it be conflicting? was already willing need what proof. and just a quick, little on the other side of this conflict as it were, how much are western sanctions affecting russia's ability to fight back against these modern western supplied a weapons in terms of sanctions at the very beginning, it seemed to work. however, as we're seeing now, there seems to be a boomerang effect with europe traveling to get new suppliers and russia, at least for a moment seem to have found and build alliances in the south. if the asia and the middle east specifically with how you ravia and india actually helping russia

to circumvent sanctions. on the other hand, raja has been receiving support from her allies. so i chose iran, and today we have read that russia is receiving 2 planes for uranium. he had drones and maybe some other type we are not sure. so at the moment it seems that has been quite successful in terms of turning the spear around and trying to capitalize on these sanctions, to punish europe, to make sure that your appeal, instability and social cohesion is suffering from europe's and the u. s. own sanctions. that's very interesting. thank you so much for joining us. and i was meant for marina min on from the center for military ethics, kings college london. thank you. i will take

a look at some more stories making headlines that will start in israel were of course, a sentence. the garza director of an international agency to 6 years in prison on top of the 6, he's already serving mohamad l ha lobby of the christian charity. world vision was jailed in 2016. he was convicted of channeling funds to hamas millison. he denies the allegations. police and madagascar say their offices have killed 19 people as they tried to call an angry mob. open fire on a crowd, protesting the kidnapping of an albino child. officials in the town of a congo say armed a protest, a storm the local police station, and many people living with albinism face violence in the region. because of myths surrounding the condition releases from anchor used a tear, water gas, water cannon, and tear gas to disperse. protestors in the capital, colombo crowds with demanded the release of demonstrates is detained into the new government. country has seen the months of protest blanket wrap. it with

a severe financial crisis and shortages. basically, the un has issued an emergency appeal for funding to help pakistan recover from devastating floods. rains have now stopped, but more than a 3rd of the country still under water affecting more than 33000000 people. now this map shows the vast areas hit by the flooding, stretching the entire length of the country, and many of pakistan's breadbasket provinces, there in the south have been submerged, raising concerns about food security, a village underwater in pakistan, sind province, one of several key agricultural regions that now resemble small oceans. many people here were poor before the floods came. now they've lost almost everything in those areas that are dry, makeshift camps,

how's those displaced by the water? and farmers salvage what they can from their fields. pakistan's climate minister says the flooding is apocalyptic, and that her country is bearing the brunt of climate change caused by more developed nations. boxes than is less than one percent in the global emissions up by if you like. we hardly contribute any of the emissions to the broader emission blanket that makes so for greenhouse gases to turn our climates into a living hill. in the northern pakistani city of lahore, the effects of the floods are being felt in soaring prices for food and other basic goods. they love you, or these prices of increased a lot because of the floods relative thank his goods can't be transported from baluchistan. the roads are close iffy. my, our business here is almost slow to a star bodies that are built while people can't feed their children,

can't pay their rent, so got their can even pay electricity. bill should i have the old prices of double bill? i got got a sec, they're supposed double mendera the floods could not have come at a worse time for pakistan where the economy was already in crisis. now the government says it needs more than $10000000000.00 to recover from this latest climate catastrophe. well, we can join a reef jabber, hon, who's with the and jo, water, 8 he, sir, and one of the, your flooded areas of the cindy province at welcome to d, w. and what have you been? see, what we saw was actually water every beer and you know, whether it's a town or village or her feet. and people lead be dismiss due to the banquets of as grims. and we saw

it on the stretch of dense in 20 a year degree and had leased at them into the adjacent towns and villages and people that people had to leave with everything. and now they're dependent on whatever is done to them. so you don't, people were either living either intense or pleasant. you said the temperature and humidity is like, you know, really high to so the person will do that. it wouldn't the declared big police temperature for the drinking water sources every day. we did it in this area, but when you switch, these was of sanitation and, and also goods of lunacy issues. what women saw what your particular needs is with them. i don't know even now as, as the writings have stopped so, so what is next is what is needed that well, you see it take right now. we think it's your day to the people who have it

displaced and those lead middle then right with the basic services are you know what you're saying, additions and, and food. and he has to know people who the government has given some some tense. but i think, you know, the, i think he's a water leak water because all you would with is the water, the drinking water sources. it, but we need to disinfect. and then you also need to make sure that the addition provided that these deals with things with the basic one items fixes with a pool. and we're talking about hygiene kids, especially designed for woman's will be that is something that they have right now . and then in the immediate in love with them, we built that lives and livelihoods because they have lost feel, almost everything did not get to know some of them with the head. he was out and you saw him alone. hundreds of animals are living next to human being because this

is data se, then if something happens to protecting that as we can get, we can also and then in the medium and long term healthy helping them to delay fields recovery and get into the medium to long term it is particularly interesting because even before there's pakistan was suffering our economic and political crises, so and then we have vis on top. so how does a country recover when it was already doing pretty badly before this this bomb dropped and that's, i think you see. and you couldn't she really, if this said that you edited the word this would be that is that we had to put foot eddie. good with that. so i think it is in government both and. and you see the worst part is that it is what it is. the impact of plan did was beginning of this,

and i thought of industry said we have worked with it. and this is with this issue. i didn't know why you see old windows and then on the other defendants of leverage. it may be you said the navy as well, but you see it is incumbent upon others to support the government and the communities ednas understood. thank you so much for joining us. so explaining about circulating our job, i can't of water aid now the last you ask that a she play left afghanistan a year ago ending america's longest ever military engagements. the withdrawal followed several cow, 6 weeks and saw the taliban take over. the country is u. s. forces are pulled back . an afghan troops surrendered by early august u. s. truitt. numbers that dwindled on as the taliban closed in one of the largest analysts in history. so more than

a 100000 people flown out to the country. so this is the last soldier to leave for boarding a flight that carried her that carried military personnel and the u. s. ambassador . the taliban quickly took over the airport and paraded equipment left behind by the americans and then nato allies. much of it had been destroyed to keep it out of the fight as hans a year after that abrupt departure. many former u. s. military personnel are still haunted by what happened at cobble airport last august. d. w. stephens. siemens has been talking to to us african war veterans and near seattle in washington state. u. s. army ranger veteran matthew griffin doesn't need visual reminders of what transpired in august last year. c the images of desperate afghans had couple airports tried to flee the country as taliban fighters took over, are burned in his memory and carved into his conscience. he says that moment

it broke me and i had never, i reached out to a couple of friends, a local small business. they offered up a board room, which we set up a command center and i had army rangers, navy seals green to raise and a bunch of civilians come in and we set up a full on command center. griff, as everybody calls him, his friends and comrades went into overdrive, trying to help bring as many afghans out as possible. people they had worked with, fought with, bled for, cried and laughed with griffith. and many others are still upset about how the u. s . conducted their withdrawal from afghan is done, i don't know a service member that isn't our side. it's not that the law. i mean, i mean, everybody say hey, we won all the battles, but we lost the war. but i think it's more the, the lack of which fell flat on our word arc nation, acted in a dishonorable way. and the gen roles and the senior staff officers and all the

people in the white house. and they're the ones who made those decisions. and i don't know a service member that just doesn't absolutely abhor them, period filled with frustration. griff offers his perspective and a reality check. you know, we have a lot of friends there who are hurting who are suffering. and there is no way out for them. no one is coming, it's up to them, they're trapped. they need to figure out life moving forward. whether they decide to ron or whether they decide to stay or whether they decide to fight, it's their decision. there's nothing that the every day citizen like you and i can do to support them anymore. still grief and others continue their efforts to help even though they can't send money or goods into afghanistan. they can't get anybody out anymore, but they can still help afghans who made it into the u. s. meet jimmy, settle a former air force per a rescue man and friend of griff. he managers,

the local afghan refugee assistance center is mission. now, helping afghans to get a foothold in their new home america, that's my, that's the, to my heart. i welcome them with the open arms. and because my folks, my family, at some point in history, were immigrants here in the u. s. and it be hypocritical to deny them the same opportunities jimmy and griff, or just 2 of thousands of us veterans who served in afghanistan, who are still trying to support africans in any way possible each in their own way . that reflects on the american withdrawal than with journalist, i mean the sci fi who joins us from the afghan, the capital cobble. welcome ali. we heard that the u. s. veterans say our nation, acted in a dishonorable fashion a year on, is that how afghans see the american withdraw? of course, but the thing is, the entire

u. s. occupation was seen as dishonor. we have to remember that the u. s. allies including germany, including the u. k, australia were repeatedly accused of abuses against civilians of you know, violent air strikes of the, you know, campaigns that cause a huge civilian death of, you know, supporting corrupt governments and corrupt and violent words and things like that. so, you know, to say that it suddenly became dishonorable at the end is quite ironic. but the one thing that he was right about is that the avalon people are extremely angry at to do as president joe biden, for the way that he handled the withdrawal. the evacuation and then also placing sanctions on the country which have had no literal effect on the tall about leadership, but which have latin millions of people within this country. you know, with lower wages. if any wages, and starving or on this,

on the brink of starvation. so there is quite a bit of anger and frustration with how the u. s. handle this entire war, including you, it's ultimately draw your and you, you bring me to my next point, which is as you mentioned, that the countries offering suffering poverty and drought as $7000000000.00 in assets belonging to afghanistan. central bank remain tied up in the u. s, so is that being viewed there as the u. s. helping by keeping by this money out of taliban hands? or is it just another example of american betrayal? now why would it be helping? it's another example of a betrayal because again, this is the money that belong to the central bank. great. this is money that included people savings and included people's assets that included money that should be in private banks. and. and it's another example of how the us ended up being disingenuous in its occupation. you know,

because the one thing we have to remember, and this is something that, that us soldiers and saying your package is that the u. s. germany and britain, all still hot forces and i've gone on in august when the taller bond were running over province after province in an 11 day period. and none of those forces did anything to bolster the avalon forces were already suffering due to the corruption of the former government, you know, which hadn't paid them in months at a time which, you know, didn't give them proper food and supplies and things like that. and so you know, for the us to act as if it was a surprise and then all of a sudden place the sanctions knowing very well being in the couple airport along with the germans. and the brits when the told on were taking over it quite angering to the avalon people. understandably thank you so much for joining the tv. a couple is reminder of our top story. this, our united nation says issued an emergency appeal for funding for the victims of

devastating floods in pakistan. more than a 3rd of the countries under water, at least a 1000 people have died and millions of been displaced. directly cleric mccloud outside of his cold on his follow is to end old protest after a 2nd day of fighting with bible. she had forces in baghdad and he's 23 people have been killed since violence broadcast on monday afternoon. i'll stop and say he was quitting politics, a new crime as extremes are engaged in intense fighting across the southern. i have some reason they, after saying it had broken through enemy lines several point. moscow says it's whole thing to offensive and inflicting heavy casualties. it's b, w, coming up next to the news asia, the un urging more aid for afghanistan. you look at the crises facing the country a year after 9 o'clock on sir lanka is facing the crisis with a 1000000 struggling to feed themselves on their spanish. we'll have those stories
