in the house. i'm tired. of course. i can't be 34 years. i was a metal. i didn't know what has the best now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d. w. the crime, this claim exposed, but steady advances as it continues its counter offensive against russian occupying forces. courses, statements from the kleinie and military speak of small patches of territory captured in moscow. the claims abroad, letting me put and says he cried is attacking at least 4 sect is across the front line across. and last, as he says, adults, why those on the front inside?

i'm anthony, how it in berlin, and this is the day the we trust the models of us, but we are moving forward. that's crucial. the enemy's losses are exactly what we need. this year. my kid, i need bad losses, are approaching a level that could be described as catastrophic. the russians didn't expect that speed from us. they started to withdraw immediately. the journey bit, the last 24 hours, 3 ukrainian attacks backed up with time to nominate vehicles where we're at how all attacks will repels the black. one in the side will not really take this village. we will stand, we all marine infantry, glory to you. great ok,

so coming up donald trump pleads not guilty to charges for lighting from his handling of classified documents. whatever the outcome, it's clear. few people divide opinions as much as the form of us present. they're trying just, you know, to break him. that's what i thing you know, they're trying to get anything they can to break nobody's above the law. so if he did it anything illegal, then sure. go all out and see what you can do. welcome to the di, different counter offensive continues with cape climbing to of night. small guides, the clinic government has a pledge right from the start that the information fly would be fulfilled back to avoid putting the military operation in jeopardy. neither a secretary general and still from their cars come into the he describes the early stages of the offensive difficult. stone book says the ukraine is making advances and the more territory by recapture, the more likely it is that russia will be forced to the negotiating type. in moscow

. president vladimir put in spoken a meeting of military blog as on tuesday rushes objectives. and it's for a new crime has not changed. he said, i decline the crime with suffering 10 times, as many casualty as russia a claim for which he didn't provide any proof. we'll get a view of the battlefield from an analyst in just a moment. but 1st, this report couldn't fire. i made claims of victory as ukraine's counter offensive gets under way all that? well the problem, kyle, we know representatives of the 100 and 37th battalion of marine infantry unless of course, and the 35th brigade of the marine infantry, which is that the courts have liberated the village of montgomery if embedded in the region from russian troops to they won't be able to retake this village. verified rina's, you're going to hear with artillery motors and tags, but we will hold on glory to crane. the key says it's counter offensive,

has read captured villages image on net schemes, upper region regions. but the russian defense ministry released these pitches claiming that they had repelled counter offensive attacks by ukrainian false as president putin described opposition law says as close to catastrophic here. the shells. if y'all, the box of the control rumbles on the city was one's home to 12000 people. for the few who remain are new information is gas. and if we see it, that means that, that we don't have electricity, your internet is yet. and you came here and told us that the counter offensive had already begun with a political to the fact that we are here walking around and wondering if it started . this doesn't really seem right because the new teaching of ukraine saves it, has liberated as many as 7 villages on its front lines. 3 of

them was the 3 days ago. the russian forces were still here. we change them out from this coach, new laurie to crane. this village was under russian occupation for one and a half years. but things are ukrainian lands to them, though they may be optimism over parts of gains. but beneath the blue and yellow of ukraine's flag light the bodies of those killed in the fight. for more analysis, we are now joined by justin from a military veteran intelligence and security expert ceo of sibling, which is a strategic advisory company, joins us from the u. k, great, that'd be with us. justin. it's on the really dies in the crime in counter offensive. what's your understanding of the crime in advance as it stands? i mean, as you just ukraine is a balancing on

a few axis. so there are 2 main ones in the south in the law says that for you sure . and then on the boundary between that some and the deluxe region, i'm not c area where your correspond. it was just reporting that the ukraine has captured a string of villages on the river. the body that sort of starts to push towards wherever rushes occupies the land. and you try to build these long defensive lines you seen. but they're also pushing in the east and, you know, i talked for about like much, obviously a big focus of russian defensive activity for a long period of time. and they've been shenice, i don't divide into us, etc. but ukraine cardi, pushing back around there as well. certainly instead, leave in the area and just getting small amounts of ground each day. so put more pressure on the russians that are as well. so they're developing a few options right now. just in the finance. have surprised everyone before. is there anything unexpected? is there anything that a surprised you about the tactics that using i'll say not say far in terms of,

of what they're doing, but i think it's very important to say these are the opening stages of a long drawn out offensive part. you crime. this is never going to be 3 days to the coast of the sea vazo, which is probably one of the 3rd intended lines. but it's time to try and cut the russians in hoff and something you find a threatening crime in that starts. probably one of the key objectives they have. this phase is all about slowly gathering ground grabbing information on the russians. seizing advantageous positions, drawing out russian was fighting russian artillery electronic bullfighter upsets that. come on, does the logistics, it's about talking a lot of those things and built in the conditions, the next phase of the attack. and i think that's where you create has real surprises to come as it develops this complex picture over a period of time. so i think some people been surprised, we haven't seen more advances from ukraine, but it makes sense with a tosser up against this very comprehensive defensive line in the south. they're going to take that time. they're going to go study and they're going to try and

build opportunities ms. haven't found the issue. the head of the box, them nice and read for. if you have any precautions, say, example, take a month and a half before we can say what the counter offensive has achieved. is that a timeframe you would concur with before we pass judgment? i mean i, i hate to agree with them on anything. a tool to be honest, but um yeah, i think that's entirely my thinking as well. my team. so you mean you creating a several months in hand, effectively to, to try and re gain territory before the winter sets in again about the season sets in again. and i think he's right that, you know, you called judge a successful failure of this offensive. and the 1st day or 2, and even the 1st week or 2, i think it does take some time before we see your credit and make more daren and balance said she wants a while down the initial level of rushing defensive. so i think that is a good timeframe. this is something we're going to be coming back to. i'm sure quite often to have a look at an end. so we'll see how it's progressing. so nothing, it's all decided so far. nothing was taking the battlefield is giving

a huge indication of which way it's going, but it was going to be a big from flight long ukraine knows that they were in it alone. and the, obviously they're going to keep pushing away these russian 1st lines of defense isn't in screening areas for as long as they can to build that picture. i talked about the hardware that you're trying to say, the promise to be a game changer on the battlefield. in terms of defense, the patriot system seem to have performed admirably in terms of attack though, do we know how effective the, how it says the tanks, the on the vehicles approving going forward the a yeah. either or the game changer thing and we've had a time and time again. and this complex and this pretty much never been a game changing weapon system and is a roy of them, potentially nuclear weapons and anything short of that and offer you some thoughts for the volunteer so that nothing on the battlefield is on, on the present. nothing on the battlefield is invaluable. yeah, there is no silver bullet in baltimore and how you use those things together. and

so i think the fact that we've seen some last rushing stories, most of the times, for example, an american bradley on the personal carriers and got some people very concerned that they sold out very early on. but the reality is, i hate to say it is take them on to, but your tanks are expendable, they just expect to be quite a bit before they eventually get killed because of the hard. a boys, boys, brutal um the voltage. i think the, the sort of equipment that ukraine's been receiving the scene was evidence of this is that it is much more civilized the boat and the russian equipment. and the soviet union didn't particularly value the lives of its people because it had lots of them. so they had adult turned about having lots of cheap equipment. it was very fast, not very well protected, but they could use that on the battlefield in large numbers. the russian equipment now of course, has come from that ancestry. by contrast, nato did not have a lot of soldiers evaluate the people very highly. and so we built equipment is

much most advisable. it has to take a rama, it has protection, prevent munition explosives and what we see on the battlefield is that the western supply, the equipment when it is destroyed, most commonly by mines. the crews are escaping the infantry and the back are escaping and not able to fight again. and i think that's one of the more interesting points of the coverage we have seen so far off those vehicles in use and again suffering losses. but that is to be expected. they have plenty more and huge amounts that have not yet been committed to the fight. just particularly in terms of the let that you know this piece of equipment. well, is there any surprise that your crime is losing these weapons in battle? you know, again, i think expectations were raised in the course. there's a lot of information and aspects of this particular complex. it's on social media love. so the big campaign about the left is the coming and the reality is if anyone could pick one of the most average russian tanks and one of the other sites that ukraine has, you had you pick well, that's what as being a much more civilized will vehicle much better to come on, much more capable. but again, it's milton vulnerable. it is not

a box the company destroyed. it's very easy and these sorts of operations to have a bad day out with unfortunately, and lose a lot of people, especially when you're trying to get through a minefield and the sort of vehicles and they've got it. it's very important. and this is the people managed to escape the crews get back. they can always be put on a new vehicle. well, i mean, flat not in previous complex, you call replace that trained crew. the ukraine especially has a small approval of available soldiers. so they have to the golf those cruise more is also a huge the important some are all and for keeping of what was going through a defensive. so compared to the rest of it has given you quite a lot of advantages and it's also pointing very well the noise for the movement during this equipment. because it has several sites, it can be based sites. and we're seeing much more use of my time tactics, and indeed they used to smoke on the battlefield to protect these more more than vehicles. and that's something we didn't see before along with an evolution of tactics. so, you know, overall it's definitely

a progressing and how you create and is waging more. you know, they all on the offensive now and it's not going to be a week or so. it's going to be a few months briefly before we get to present them, put into the claim to us, knocked out 30 percent of you. find out that you find a suffering 10 times with casualties, russian forces attacking what do you make of those claims that they're pretty ludicrous. i mean both sides over say in was almost always making place, explains about what they've done to you and to me. so you always take these numbers with inches so, but the current russian claims are pretty ludicrous and they don't have the coverage to back it up. they're showing the same flips again to get a vehicle sick. i think it's very in places named his own audience, but it is brutal pointing and you know, as you know about that in mind, this is a hard operation. both sides a little light is going to be lost in flight testing, correct? correct. to get your input at this critical moment in the will, thanks so much. thank you. well, the destruction of the nova chemicals good them in ukraine has caused severe flooding

along the need for a river. in areas near the black sea region is harm to some of the country's most 1st home agricultural land. any funds on the straight from the flooding? the deputy correspondence on you found like a send us this report from the village in the nicolai's which the village of pablo might be on the spot in southeastern ukraine. it was bombarded heavily solstio by occupying russian forces, leaving mines and explosives everywhere. now, southern flooding has severed baba's supplies, and cutoff entire areas, the destruction of the gulf of them has affected police is much further away. sure . in the we can live region a meter agricultural area, water levels and who lets river have risen dramatically. and that has a major impact on farms here. there's only one way to get around the village of the the that was awesome. the,

the water smells chemical. it's really bad and it could be there to fish and dogs. here the fields were fertilized and not everything's in the water level. the russians didn't get us, but the flood stood to those getting to the appropriate events. father bardeen says many people didn't believe they would be impacted because the dead break occurred. maybe a 150 kilometers away, but no one was prepared. this isn't the only home and farm to be supplement. ratio hands which are single did most of the beans, $200.00 take the fields have disappeared. his body, sunflower, and wheat. out this somewhere, the polluted in charlottesville has transformed the landscape. the loss of his crops isn't his only worthy measure, but we are hopping from us. we know what it is to lose everything and start again. i tell you the ground will be contaminated because of a lot of chemicals, diesel,

valuable machine. oil will have a different kind of tragedy, like them and does not have some testing that does. it's a major concern for small. it's almost like monday of wave would be not as we speak at the top, we know how much work was involved with that implanted this with our own hands. it's old guns. and one moment the former teacher mainly grows vegetables for her own family. she and the husband oh, like see the southern floods probably meant many farmers couldn't get the machinery and farm chemicals to dry ground in time suitable for sure for the skin for just when you get into water, there must be chemicals in there that could affect the eat meat to the ground will be useful. water may be so you put in my biggest what i'm saying is the oldest motor was into the ground. i mean, for an officer that it will be impossible to use this. we also is not just tutoring, but even to more shar, close tonight it will be a disaster. what's the dealt with this says the pledge of contamination has

a longed local authorities. this unit was set up in april last year to monitor the impact of the war on the environment. now the floods of the focus quarter because of this, that the insured, it's a nightmare. yeah ma'am. and this is all over when the water receives and the long term, the situation will get worse, you remove the, there are places with symmetry so flooded on the pets temperatures as well. no one can really say for sure what the consequences of that meeting was, is that us the cable to boston and creates a part of life here. like so. many settlements near the front line. bob blue maria, a nice guy has suffered waves of tragedy and sufficed from a us president, donald trump says he's not guilty of federal charges that he unlawfully kept national security documents. when he left the office trumpet paid at the court in

miami to face 37 felony counts, related to the documents and then struck the investigators efforts to recover the it convicted because he is in prison. trump was allowed to leave court without conditions or travel restrictions, and no cash bond was required. but supporters and opponents of the former president demonstrated outside the courthouse. what's happening in america, they can do this to the leading party. this doesn't happen in america. maybe in other countries, 3rd world, perhaps we need some decent. se morality in this country. we have lost it now. so we do need some just this, this what has happened over the last couple of years since trump has been in office has been so. so deviating from the dome. it's unbelievable. he's of a we ever had drunk thoughtful,

but we know drop one. i'm here because it is a great injustice. what they're doing to president trump. it is seems that our country is now a banana republic that we do with 3rd world countries are doing. you should have been locked up a long time ago because he graduated from the school of rocks in new york and he has a master's degree. well from all that spring and my official, he's a senior editor at the washington post. i'm quite happy with this. i feel like describing it as a spectacle is on the feeling at some what, what goes through your mind when you see the crowds at the courthouse, the multiple coverage you it? well, the baltimore coverage is exactly the right thing to focus on because the pounds themselves were not that large. it's really the medias spectacle. and that's what does donald trump has always specialized in, throughout his career as a real estate developer, as a business man, just so you know,

magnate and as. busy so he is achieving what has always achieve which is becoming the center of attention being shown. and so, you know, for most people be. busy the bottom line is the absolute worst day of what's being arranging for a facing years. it's about decades in federal prison. and what he's created here is a spectacle that quits him as a focus of americans attention, which is always wanted to be, as he always said, he doesn't care what the news is that are bad. as long as he's ever saw habits of those back up the circus around the courthouse of the psalms, the demonstrations. how does that stack up against the severity of the charges the trump is facing or it does seem incapable. so it seems like a complete mismatch of people on the street are taking this as some form of entertainment,

or perhaps there's some sort of dire sweat against the nation that it's the ability . in fact it's neither of those things. busy it is the, perhaps the inevitable data more of a man who ran the country as he'd run his business with little regard for the rules with little regard for months. and so to donald trump, it was 2nd nature to take the documents that he was a nice to catch. you will be in charge of when he was president and turned them into his personal property. this is a serious matter because of classified documents. a ball is a serious matter because he defied the efforts of the f, b. i and justice department to get those documents returned to the government to whom they belong. and so he does face serious rescue. but as you saw me introduce on the street to a lot of people, this does seem. busy an attack, a political attack on the trip,

and they have some grounding for that needs because they look at their own children to have it perhaps can it certainly can be taking government documents home with them and they're not being tried. and so they see, this is perhaps an extreme reaction to change the bundle that noise. how strong is the case the prosecutors have against trump. so if you go by the letter of the law of the evidence that's laid out in the indictment, certainly some surpasses any threshold for conviction in this case and appears to be looking at it. this is what the government has presented. obviously the homepage in the trial i think we've been diagnosed at face value been clearly trump has done these things. trump is admitted that he took the documents that he was supposed to under ball. it's clear from the evidence that he was objecting to enter the steps to when returning some of those documents to the governor. but that's very

different from getting a conviction in a trial or a jury selected or jury will have different attitudes about the truck will dream, will have seen a number of ads of news reports about a trunk clinton. this is a personal attack that no one else would be prosecuted for exactly the same act that will resonate with many people. the 1st few prosecution boxes they want a speedy trial. one of the chances of that happening here. this trial is all a collision course will be 2020 for presidential campaign and the election. the justice department has a standing policy, but they don't to prosecute people who are running for office in the weeks ahead of an election. we don't hard and fast how long that really is, but they don't, they try not to interfere with elections read off. so when you get

a chance he's already wanting to present to link making appearances primary states, the 1st of things coming up in august. so this case has a collision course. there are all kinds of thing, the inspector timing the judge, for example, the attitudes of the lawyers and all the cases. trump himself says he wants to speak, trying to prosecute or certainly say one of the term has many ways of some of this down and force the justice department's hands as it comes into defense interfering with the top of the coast loss. some lawyers just before we got to the court in miami, the judge that was a trump, a point, a judge could that have any relevance as the trial goes on. you radically itself supposed judges, of course, are supposed to be independent judges are supposed to take each case as it comes

and deal on with the evidence that. busy discharging, can dealt with familiar aspect of, of this documents issue. and when she did, she issue means that so much more difficult to the the, i mean, access to the documents they me, which was the best dish that just really was overturned by me to serve the panel. it was just so she was overturned by judges from the background and soon she was someone who was identified by thanks for holding these and benefits as someone who we have a particular meeting to trump. our friend lee was to change arguments mistakes. and so there's considerable concern, but she will not be as free and on the up and up as room. i cool any. so going to be the fish fish, a senior editor at the washington post. what rod this is going to be,

thanks for being with us on the day. thanks. i hope the day is almost done, but the conversation continues online. you'll find us on the social media channels at the date of lead use the instant and twitter overall in depth analysis. please go to d. w dot com. i'm anthony howard in berlin from me and the team here. i think you have a good the
