russian president vladimir putin claims that all you planning offensive in the past few days have been unsuccessful. to get a much more efficient. the 1st of all, we can clearly say that the offensive has become yeah, but i'm going to dispose of it as shown by the use of strategic reserves of the training. i mean, this is the 1st thing. secondly, you know, the ukranian troops haven't achieved what they wanted brings at not even a single area of fi to let's give you the best that this isn't absolutely obvious thing that the upside is actually the earlier i spoke to marina me wrong and military analyst at kings college london, and i asked her if students message that ukraine's counter offensive has achieved nothing is credible. hello, nick. well, um, the problem is at the counter offensive, has been underway for less than a week. so it's way too early to tell whether it has been successful or not. and

we're seeing the 1st setbacks, however, russia will use it to control the narrative. and of course, any set back by you bringing forces will be sending use to describe at the efforts of the ukrainian um forces. so this place right into russia's hands do to show videos of abandoned or destroyed military equipment supplied by the west in or the to kind of strengthens americans. the russian forces and the military bloggers on the russian side have reported seeing as you were just saying, german and american tanks on the battle of field being destroyed. ukrainian government has answered with video suggesting that they were actually farm vehicles . there's something going on in the information space here and as you were saying, is there not to well, it's um, the 1st full page that has been seen um, a lot of people said, well,

they confused those vehicles was a french and mixed hands. so there was, there was a lot of confusion to this. we just haven't been confirmed confirmed. however, now other independent organizations such as the dodge or x and the ukrainian deep states, a house indeed confirmed that the ukrainians indeed, incurred law says when it comes to their vehicles, it was confirmed by western forces such as forbes stating there is, there is no agreement on exactly how many vehicles have been lost by the 36 and 40 seven's brigade battle, which tries to preach the russian defenses are around. most of the much got them. but about 10 or 11 bradley vehicles and to allegedly, to leopard tanks what, one of which was leopard to a 6 of which ukraine has very few. and just to focus on the actual finding itself where it's happening. i mean that we know lots of reports of bottles taking place

in the zap a reset region. why they're, what's so important as well. it is strategically important for you cream, given the military objectives, to get the russians out of ukraine and, and to gain control of crimea. so the whole idea is to cut off the russian control territory and its fruits and get to the sol, see, so you would be actual this a, varying the land bridge to cry. mia? and that would complicate the russians logistics, and that's what gives the ukrainians of possibilities and further as to advance toward screen media. and so this is the importance of separation and the parentheses. the russians have figured that out as well and have prepared their strong as defensive, especially in the past 2 months. they kept on reinforcing defenses along that line . lorraine of a wrong military analyst at kings college london. thank you so much. thank the

us, department of justice has an seo the indictment against for president donald trump . the details $37.00 criminal charges related to his handling of government secret documents at his florida home. this is the most serious legal challenge facing trump. so far, the former president could be looking at a link the present sentence if convicted. he's the 1st president in the history of the united states to free for the charges. the unfeeling of van dyke meant against our new drum, revealed the $37.00 guns against him, including violations of the espionage act. the charges are linked to the alleged handling of classified documents, many of which the f, b i is a gilbert from his started to home. my logo last summer, especially bounces. jack smith gave a brief statement following the ceiling of the charges. are laws that protect national defense information are critical, the safety and security of the united states,

and they must be enforced. the violations of those laws put our country at risk. the former president attacked especially with confidence social media, calling him a lunatic, a drum, pater nadine psycho president joe biden had literally to say on the gifts. president 5, have you spoken to attorney general america? the street the this is the 2nd time for me. president trump has been indicted the 1st by the state of new york over his financial affairs. he's due to appear in a federal court in miami on tuesday. let's see if it has no effect on his campaign to return to the right post. once again. and dw reporter william blue cross told us about what stood out for him in the indictment us. i mean this,

we being charges here really do stand out for me. it's not just one or the other. you know, when you look at the, what's going on in the state of new york, even critics of donald trump will say it might be a flimsy case. this one it easily could be as well, but it's just so in depth what federal prosecutors have gone after from ford and also how much they're heating on the intent is really, really interesting. here. i think a lot of people think about us classified documents in a very sort of james bond sort of way that it's a very official system, very professional. but actually the us classification system is a mess with so many people involved. so many ways for there to be leaks is not so unusual as we saw with president joe biden. the class by documents could end up being handled inappropriately. but the difference here with federal prosecutors saying is the intent to mishandled and the intent to really just let them be. i was sitting around for visitors of tomorrow. lago, a state, a to, to be seen looking at for donald trump to show off as,

according to some of the evidence that we've so far seen. so it's really the intent or just the, the mouth piece is here that you had, prosecutors are going out the trump project that actually quite stands out very much. i a w as land blue cross. they're in columbia for children who went missing after a plane crash over a rain forest. last month, i've been found to live the children who come from an indigenous community survive for 40 days in the jungle. on their own. a massive rescue operation was conducted by the army and volunteers after the plane crashed on may the 1st. it's a story of survival for the ages. for children, rescued from the amazon jungle after a massive search efforts arriving by on the medical plane in bogota, they'll soon be re united with the grandparents. they made that model because i couldn't believe it that way, but the leader did call to me again. this had gone down to be found your grandchildren, boy,

for their lives gone down and everything is all right. it'll be, we'll get this way. are you so the be in the siblings age from $1.00 to $13.00 survived in the rain forest for 40 days after the small plane they were traveling in, crashed on the 1st of may, the 3 adults on board, including the children's mother, died in the crash. the colombian government launched the rescue operation after the 1st fines of survivors unmatched, including small footprints and hoff asian fruit. the rescue team was made up of soldiers and volunteers from indigenous tribes with intimate knowledge of the area. during the search rescue is dropped, food passes and both of the water into the jungle, hoping that it would help sustain the children. president, gustavo petro has praised coordination between the military and indigenous groups

to carry out the search. he broke the news of the children's rescue on twitter. so that one's almost the children were alone, they just need more. they made it on their own. they have set an example for survival that really go down in history to get on the story of the children and now receiving medical care. petro has called the survival a joy for the whole country. the men's champions league final between manchester city and answer me land will kick off later today in east angle is the 1st competitive medium between the 2 sides. manchester's city led by star striker airline holland are the solids favorites. have guard yellow side are chasing. and historic trouble this season, after winning the cup and lead in england, their tale and opponents inter midland also won their domestic cut but finished 3rd

in league. and with the kick off just hours away, dw sports correspondent oliver moody told me what the mood was like in his temple. as you can imagine, that there is a lot of excitement here and assemble ahead of the game of the fund festival right now has been set up in the cities. and i've been speaking to find from both scenes here as you might have expected, given that a hold of favorites. it is a 9 chest of 50 pounds who are especially optimistic and confident about the game tonight. one moment from manchester that i spoke to said it just feels like it's that time. and certainly to have been offensive inevitability about how well most of the have been playing lately, bought into funds on know without. hi eva. i spoke to several people who said that they had seen have a chance to night if they show hot. so it might be a little bit of a case of passion versus quality tonight. and at all are pip. guardiola has worn his side manchester city that their confidence cannot slip into arrogance. what do

you think of that? yep, i think that's certainly something that the mindset the city play is what seemed to express yesterday. the press conference is ruben diaz. that defend was very keen to say that a final is a final, it's not like any other guy, and it doesn't matter what has gone before that. so to the clearly keeping that feet on the ground, the head of this and for good reason as well. let's not forget that 2 years ago when mentioned city lost a champions league final say with the whole favorites then as well. so they know from experience house reading confidence prob, slip is our against, can affect you. but says that is, i think going to be one of the key issues in the us tonight. but patients will be the key for much of the city i think. and as have been say through the clear favors, but the one to trophies already. what would winning a 3rd need for the premier lakeside? i think that would give them the elusive trouble, of course,

as something that very few european clubs have ever one. i think it would be especially important for the mindset to $55.00 and not the only english it seems to have of one that travels like boston was at manchester, united, the cross town rivals. so i think sounded much of the united certainly going to be on the into sides and neither going to be hoping that another trouble winning club can as something from happening into one the trouble back in 2010 did the thing the months with the city i brings which we have tonight. and on the white, the winning, the champions league that yeah. incidentally they knocked out in a box the legs off along the same coach. find none other than pep squad. the outlet . so they might be a little be effective for pets in that say, okay, lots of rivalry is going on aside from the big game itself. the w sports correspondent, oliver moody in istanbul thinks true. and here's a reward, or a reminder, rather of our top stories. president load, amazing lensky says, ukraine's counter offensive against russian forces is now underway. tense fighting

is being reported in ukraine, separation region by both keys and moscow and in columbia for children who went missing after a plane crash and a rain forest. last month had arrived in the capital of attached to receive medical treatment hours that they were found alive, their mother and the 2 other adults in board. the plane died when it went down 40 days ago, coming up next, a special report on diabetes in sierra leone unexpired for me in the entire news team here in berlin. thanks for watching the sunset s b i. c. i a and most of us have been 20 years nissan of a k, a tom lee. the most timely fund way was sort of the.
