reporting intense fighting and ukraine's separation region. the ukranian infantry fighting the fields of the city of black modes. this is one of several points along the vast front line where ukraine has launch localize attacks, something russian president vladimir putin to declare that chief much dissipated count defensive has begun. most of the social, the 1st of all, we can clearly say that the offensive has become yeah, but the majority of his present 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 is an absolutely obvious thing that i've said that you need to press home. this message. russia has released several videos on social media showing knocked out ukrainian alma these throwing

images show of valuable german made left at 2 times. and several of us supplied bradley infantry fighting vehicles abandoned or destroyed. here a leopard is hit by a company causes a drone. western hardware has been crucial and enabling ukraine to go on the offensive, but it has been supplied in limited amounts. speaking during a visit by canadian prime is suggesting from joe and steve, ukrainian president for letting me of the landscape course and against the russian narrative confirmed that to crane had gone on the attack of prevention and seclusion. louis, it is important that russia always feels that they don't have much time left for them. in my opinion, no more. you don't. the content in this account to offensive and defensive actions that taking place in ukraine. in which stage it will not say in detail with order to define it or not. i believe that we will definitely feel

a little this will be the school i would not trust telegram channel, some of the video and especially booted and all the a some little which in the pa, from back mode ukrainian attacks have also been reported in a valley kind of a 0 cock and totally he's in the south. some reports suggest limited gains. but you crane in unit select this column of bradley's, of trying to piece russian defensive several lines deep. and it is already clear that any success will come at a steep price. earlier security analyst, i'm into a 2nd. i'm also told us more about ukraine's counter offensive to what i mean from the information that we have which is very patchy. it is its coming sort of p as i to there are at least the areas where the ukrainians are, are sending their forces in grades and number starts in the area. is that for each

or to the south of or the issue then also in the areas around the car? no, no see car which is to the west in the western fringes. so they don't yes. well, last on, also in the areas around you where there have be not probably some, some important advances. so fucking east of 1.4 kilometers. and the fighting around um uh, in the areas are in the western parts of a separate easier are a very intense uh it is not clear how far ukrainians are managed to move further south. there were reports that they had sort of managed to bridge the 1st line of defense a spot then there are varies from fortifications as i got to are sort of uh, present or for the south. so i think there is a very intense area or confrontation around uh for the, to the east uh, ukrainian signature. oh so how do i sound a bit? uh, not, not to a massively bunch of we have to remember. gotcha. uh,

the defensive lines are very, very strong, and that was security analyst don't want to let 2nd. i'm also, as well former us president and donald trump has made his 1st public appearance systems being indicted on $37.00 federal accounts including violating the espionage act linked to classified documents. found that as more local residents in florida, trump legal rows have not stopped him from hitting the campaign trail at the republican convention in columbus, georgia. he is still the frontrunner for his parties nomination for the 2024 presidential election, and t in says that he is innocent and the victim of political attacks lead by presidential by the department of justice. we can have a listen now to some of what donald trump had to say. the ridiculous and baseless indictment of may by the by the administration's weaponized department of injustice

will go down is among the most terrific abuses of power in the history of our country. many people have said that democrats have even said that this vicious persecution is a travesty of justice. you're watching joe bride job. i think of it by and is trying to jail his leading political opponent, that opponent, that speeding and by a lot in the pause, just like they do in style and is russia or communist china? no different. all right, so let's bring in the w. washington correspondent, mission and the coast. now for more on all of this, hello to me tell us so. 7 we just heard that short excerpt of donald trump's remarks, what else to be say? there was a lot more and they were a lot of insults he in salters, the special council dec smith, who came out publicly after that indictment was published. he put that indictment

together with a team of lawyers. he called him deranged and i quote to and so he called to buy them the entire administration, a sick nest of people, as he put it, who need it, and i quote, cleaning out. so this is rather drastic terminology, even in this area of donald trump, speech is a pop from that we. so a lot of traditional, i'd say campaign material he is trying to portray do by someone who has a lot more boxes than him. he doesn't talk about classified documents, don't trump prefers to talk about boxes uh, alleging that to bite his get away with something. and that's it. he is now being indicted folder in both cases of actually very different at the house. if this is also donald trump's refusal to hand over classified documents to the national archive and when they were requested, that is something that's due by that hasn't done although the trump ledges this.

the also alleges, as joe biden is taking bribes from ukraine, for instance, also from china. so this is an appeal, a fact checking material here. it's a fabrication at the very least and it's him basically portraying not just a picture of what time it is. one more going into the terminology of to me that he sees fix that against him. that's how he put it yesterday. so it's quite something uh, even for donald trump, the overarching question was, would he go a bit more quiet now? no, he hasn't. he is. and that is very much the essence of his captain, as we've seen him throughout the years. when put on the pressure, he escalates the situation even further. and that's what he did on an open stage. today. we have to remember that this is not the 1st indictment against donald trump . so how did these new charges against him compared to the last time donald trump was in court? they are a different league altogether. it's

a historic moment. this marks the 1st time, and i say it's a almost 50 page. indictment is the 1st time that a former president was indicted on a federal crime. there are 37 counts in that as they include and having classified documents that relates to basically the nuclear secrets of the united states, strategic questions of how the us and its allies would respond to any threats. this is very serious stuff. indeed, today, it's actually thousands of use of potential present time within this indictment. so it is very serious stuff and, and we are seeing donald trump here, basically alleged that the department of justice, which installed the special counsel in order to remove itself from the proceedings as far as possible. he's trying to portray this as a campaign against him because he is the republican front runner. that much is true

. he has more than 50 percent in the current polling of the one that comes 2nd is for the governor wrong desantis. it was nowhere near him with round about 20 percent in the polls. and the big question now is, will this in support? donald trump, in his aim to become the republican candid once again because people follow him or will some republicans stopped and dropping him over this very serious and very expensive indictment. that was the double use miss hannah cook, not in washington dc for us media. and i thank you so much for your reporting. all right, to somalia now, where authorities say 6 civilians and 3 police officers had been killed in a hotel stage in the capital. mogadishu, on friday evening, militant stormed an upscale hotel until cottages security forces, a dozens of people were freed in the rescue operation. the is for mr. milton, a group. all sure, bob has claimed responsibility. it started with an explosion,
