it's now $540.00 days since russian forces invaded ukraine, unleashing one of the bloodiest conflicts on european soil since world war 2. for months now, ukraine has been trying to claw back. it's occupied territories, but progress has been slow and costly. for many, it's also been disappointing. russia meanwhile, has assumed a mostly defensive pastor behind a dense and deadly web of mine, fields unfortunate occasions. both sides are bleeding. and the question now is which army and which society will prove more resilient on pablo police? this is the day the regions in the world are being tested by geopolitical competition by climate crisis, by russia's or progression. it gives you frank to combat situation and shows that

ukraine has already exhausted into us. and it was under the pretext of supporting keith from the united states. let's analyze use of the weapons and promises to deliver cheap new one of the week slide twice. i guess that pressures, advice to, you know, kind of fall off. it says, fundamentally, if russia stop the war and uh, we'll start to, with relationship with the west continental. and this will can help also coming up facing defined cou, leaders in the share military chief of the west african block eco. wes, are a drawing of a plan of action if diplomacy fails, they say they're ready to march into an easier to restore. it's deposed to president the, the, the, the the,

the full width boot this rate to, to, to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states and all around the world, welcome to the program. we begin the day on the front line in southern ukraine, where the country's military says it's pushing russian forces farther back after retaking a village on wednesday. the 1st settlement to keep says it's liberated since late july, ukraine is trying to find the build momentum in a counter offensive lasting months that's gotten bogged down in russian mind fields and fortifications. keith also said it's given up on receiving us made at 16 jets any time this year. ukraine had been pressing its western allies for the war plains, which it hoped, could help protect its cities from russian bombardments,

which have become an almost daily occurrence. what ukraine did confirm its getting is more stage of the arch air defense. a german made iris peace systems have already proven their worth in defending the capital keith from russian air strikes . but those are now increasingly targeting other ukranian cities in award that's being grinding on for 17 months. we have this report show as loaded into an american how it's a cannon. this is the frontline of ukraine's counter offensive. since june, the army has been pushing back from active positions that extend more than 1200 kilometers. and despite the supply of weapons from the west, the only making limited progress with limited power and its forces stretched then. but even small advances could turn out to be technically significant. this week

ukrainian troops on the south eastern front claimed to have retaken the small village of rush. china, located within a 150 kilometers of the ports of russia. occupied mary, you pull and buddy ends, and if you crate and where to take those cities, the land bridge that connects crimea to russia through occupied ukraine would be broken. but getting through heavily fortified russian lines won't be easy. they'll need to cross open fields which are extensively mind, where they also run the risk of attacks from the f and russian troops behind the tree line. and if they make it that fall next, they'll face and elaborate mays of trenches and metal and concrete empty tank defenses, known as dragon's teeth. still small advances by either side will reduce the capabilities of the other rush. i recently intensified that separation in the northeast, drawing ukrainian forces away from most strategic areas in the southeast. now

ukraine is making gains on that front, forcing moscow's military to redeploy. but the to and fro cannot continue in its current form for long as autumn and mothers season foss the purchase. when oil tanks will be stopped in the tracts until spring of all sense, western countries began supplying weapons to ukraine. russian media have played time their importance in the war this week. russia's defense ministry paraded, captured, western made weapons on state television. the propaganda show came during a security conference which moscow is using to project strength. it's not the memo every afternoon with a few of us are formed about the war. uh but i see this live show broadcast better off the estate television. it's called 60 minutes wide, the exclusive tag in the top left corner suggest today's program will be an exciting one. the topic confiscated western weapons and ukraine who i mean, what's most definitely of political praises. here we can see the history and bush

must are armoured vehicles of transporting soldiers. so we still have got, yesterday, it's completely burned. tied up. that's watching the vehicle was seized. what you're doing, fighting. you're the village of polio. and the next public on, you know, it's not on the who you spoke to you about flag or that's what russian propaganda calls the occupied territories. and ukraine look, watch them. the trophies are present during the army. 2023 military exhibitions and the patriot parking gorbinko on the outskirts of moscow. often liability suggests this. yeah, them here you can see obviously a french car much as you can see from the flag. recently buckled was the price actually in a good condition is not less than you know, but we can see that it's being picked by a billet or that means that harbor quite a week right now. that way we can talk. okay. it's something russia likes to claim that western military technology cannot withstand the rigors of fighting and

ukraine. hundreds of items are on display and could be good to prove this from finland, sweden, france, australia, and the united states. and each time the flaws are highlighted is whether or not it's a tactic also used by moscow is top military brass knew the it's here, russian defense minister circuit showing who plays down ukraine's military strength or traditional speaking at the international security summit in moscow. it shows as though a $160.00 quarter on the issue is the georgia by reducing part because of the combat situation shows that, that ukraine has already exhausted into us. and also that america is, it's a shared under the pretext of supporting keith. whereas the united states, let's it's allies use up the weapons and promises to deliver cheap new one of these rules and the fact they're trying to sell their own new minute treat products. and then your costs go into promotional complex managers and it's not showing who also

admits that russia so called special military operation. it is a serious challenge for its armed forces right next to carefully avoiding the term war and then as required by russian law. most of these are put back on this special edition of 60 minutes. there's no such problem is that provide from the presenter uses the word several times as he shows office boyles of russia's invasion, double, and to suppose that weakness of the west a more than sullen as well. joining us from vienna is very not check or rosa, who is a g o strategic consultant, a former director of the australian institute for european and security policy. thanks for joining us on the day. now we've just seen 2 sides of russia's war in ukraine. the brutal fighting on the front and rushes, parading of that captured western gear on television. so let's start with the russian side. are many russians so far removed from the conflict that it's just a t v war for most as well?

yes, absolutely. and will to be seen also in the full each uh shows. uh colleen lead um, you know, part of the, a psychological warfare that freshman has been successfully conducting st. you will receive a war of attrition, ease of perfectly serving russian interest. so they are of this to prepare for this scenario quite well and to well, the a with this scenario for of attrition is on the one hand as we've also heard to exhaust ukrainian troops above the other hand. of course, also to create a situation where a possible political ritual, who happen in europe, because this war has many layers and next to the layer of the battlefields, there is the layer of that you cannot make warfare on europe. and we'll keep clearly observed here is that russia has now successfully conducted the blockade on the black sea area. a one that aims to create an additional

commodities, the crisis scenario for the upcoming winter. and we should be able to prepare for a scenario which, which i may try again to play the energy cart next to the food commodities. so all you know here what we are seeing is a tricia has adapted to the realities, given the fact that it has not been successful with the 1st space of the war. and at the same time, it says that ukraine has conducted successful come through a faster speed called defensive in the past. so right right now the russian perspective is to make everything possible to slow down this concert or offensive by the korean forces and 2 possible prevented from a further success. we have to contrast all of this with the devastation in ukraine to force the practically the entire population is feeling. so we've been seeing the

resilience of ukrainian society since the start of this war. but how is it actually effective them? especially if considered that there appears to be no end in sight to this conflict . even with no clear end to this war, the ukrainian society and the political leadership show wavering spirit. let's be clear about one thing and that is that this war is also about the will to fight. and here we see that on both sides, for different reasons. there is still a will to fight. now, what is the king in perspective, from ukraine's point of view, there only 2 options in this war since the beginning of sue's the launch of the war . and these 2 options are either seating for the territories and population under russian control. right now, richard controls around 17 percent of the fighting and territory. and we've seen in the past what happened with the territories and the population and the russian

occupation. and the 2nd option is to continue fighting for additional integrity for the survival of the nation. so we clearly see a prevailing sentiment to fight for the survival of ukraine as a nation to claim as a territory and ukraine. as a state, do you see cranes forces find the gaining momentum then in their push sides? yes, absolutely. we are currently in the most active face of these particular accounts are offensive. the counter offensive has begun very slowly for many obvious reasons . now it's not the time to discuss that this reasons, but uh, there are indeed also reasons which are leading to the way how the west has been providing the major support of over the last. let's a few months. and it has been unfortunately too slow. but on the other hand to, of course, you can use facing a very different to

a military situation. i'll meet these come through 1st. if that has nothing to do with last year. uh, some of the main features has been already mentioned to give them the fact that to a battlefields have the mind, the front lines have been 40 fights original has been preparing accordingly for discount defensive with right now, which crane is trying to do some the one hand to, of course create a situation where a military break to would be possible in one of the several directions of the counter offensive. the 2nd thing is that discount or offensive has a window of opportunity until probably of the periods of october, november. so it has to be conducted with all possible means a disposal and the towards point which i think is going to be a game changer, is whether the west will provide some of the critical military 8 that it has pledged such as we saw system send f sixteens were 4 or

540 days into this war. do you see an end to the conflict happening any time soon? i um, unfortunately, i don't have any good news for you and for the audience. give. give them this question of the to ration of the war. in fact, we may see a window of opportunity to, for, let's say, some serious, a toolbox. i wouldn't say negotiation process, but it's least some serious stokes, probably not already or then october november this year. then the political pressure from outside, given the election campaigns in the united states. but also next year, europe, who's having um preliminary you can pull them into iran. elections is going to become higher. so we may see this window of opportunity to but the war of attrition will continue unfortunately in the next few years. most likely,

even in the periods of to 2025. i'm sorry. yeah. so bring analysis there. uh, geo political strategist funding, check her over joining us from vienna. thank you for joining us on the day. thank you very much. the west african block eco last says it's ready to launch a military intervention in the share. should diplomatic efforts to reverse a coo there fail? defense chiefs from the block has the meeting in ghana to address the crisis. the shares routing john to has repeatedly defied international efforts to restore president mohammed assumed to office last week eco, as ordered the act to deactivation of a stand by force for potential deployment in nature. that costs military leaders are facing a dilemma. use force and risk crease,

the instability or back off and allow another west african nation to be under miller. people the block he does have once again emphasized that on the dimension in the chair is the last resort. let's do one b and the everything else. phase the vision forces both with stuff that move the military on disability and components are ready to sub, to the portable duty 5 of the level of reducing the saw this meeting to be best testimony to the but when and how west african troops could intervene, remains unclear, new jersey, one that has already ignored an echo and was deadline to restore democracy. meanwhile, the allstate,

president mohammed by zoom and his family are under house arrest in the capital in the army eco was have called on the pool leaders to release the president. yet another demand rejected by new jersey, new rulers, and for the i'll use the postage, the president. no one. and let me repeat no, what do you see at stake is not only the future of new jersey and democracy, but also the credibility of echo was on the block is running out of time and options for restore constitutional order in new jersey. i was last thing is last thing is director of the so health program for germany's conrad at an hour foundation. he's based in the navy and capital by mckoko joins us tonight from hamburg here in germany. oh,

thanks for joining us on the day. now. the language we heard today from eckl last ministry chiefs was pretty clear. we're going into the share, they said, but come echo with eyeglass. actually back up their words with action. why? if she wished out, say able to, to photo some actual data saying it's been talking for now for 2 weeks for military intervention and get this fall. so you want to assemble, it still exists only on paper in the purchase. they really have time enough to pass themselves, you know, or major on the units affecting decreases. so i really don't hope just e commerce engineering for easily you reach a situation that can sit down when we have basic assumable. how much time do you think it would actually take to set it up on the, at least a month? i mean, you know, the member states talk about committing troops, but you know, do still have to do so. there's also coordination issues at night,

generally out as a physician and sorry and julia, but as you know, and then as they do speak english and the rest of the e commerce members, most the talker falls on is not a coordination. and you know, the from us only has to ends in conflict sounds very my actually invited. she is ill. ready so i just don't see it happening right. well, meanwhile, new jersey to leaders remain at pretty defiance. so is the country's army solidly behind them? i mean, they make progress, you know, a party of commodities funky units also winning by ends on the special causes. you know, we're chatting by the main counter pods for, for western countries. you know, corporation pardon must surprised. so thinking to purchase, but maybe this one on the unit was the, it was bouncing back to the our vending metrowood to use visit purchased on there

and a very uncomfortable position. they noticed that's my guess on the defiant right. well, we've seen the in the chair at large gatherings and support of visual into, often with people showing russian flags to does the, to enjoy the backing of most to miss arians it's, it's very difficult to say, i mean, the 1st day there was a protest form stuff on his own, the also, the president can be seen all these russian flags. i mean, the kind of basic people, you know, groups rush distributing these flags. so it's not necessarily on file russia, but it seems they've been able to mobilize the streets by saying these things is right across every 6 hours by for an hour specialist bronze and their west african naples. so that's just a bounty ready to bips. you know, people behind the pushes, right, well indeed here you were just mentioning there, the sanctions visionaire has already been hit by

a financial and economic blockade by many of its neighbors. now, germany's foreign minister is quoting, for you, sanctions against the coordinators? do you think it would be actually effective and no adult to be seen as in mommy. yeah. good old are really tough. this financially. sanctions against the job for, you know, doing elections and they manage to use, you know, the public and get a hold of the sanctions do. what would i support? and i think it's the same thing. you know, what do you purchase that going to do? there will be back by, you know, for russia, in the social media campaigns, this information campaign sort thing gets a good chance, you know, sanctions that actually impact fire. all right, well, considering bass, how did you thinking these hairs democratically elected and now deposed. president mohammed presume will actually be restored to power anytime soon. no. i don't think it is too long. it's, it's 3 weeks. i me a almost

a months and he's being under house arrest. no one has come to rescue him. you know, i'm, you know, police unit and he might, if he lost, reinstalled, and then unlike the case of a mandatory invention, he won't be in a very weak position. i mean, he will be based, you haven't been rescued by foreign nation that, but immediately, you know, tre, got another quote. i think he's going to be, have to be honest. the up to you to purchase are going to stay right. thank you for your analysis of last thing from germany's conrad in our foundation. 7080 years ago today, indonesia declared independence from dutch colonial rule, but it was to be another 4 years of a brutal war before the netherlands finally agreed to hand over power. not violent period in indonesian history continues to cast a shadow today. the netherlands only recently begun paying damages to the children

of indonesians executed by dutch soldiers dw correspondence. rebecca, not be too too low. mad. one not whose final memory about his father is that of him being shot. 2 years ago, russ dissolution started to decline. he suffered from cataracts, but didn't have enough money for a surgery. that change last year when, who received 5000 euros from the dutch government. the money was compensation for a massacre committed during indonesia, some more of independence. in 1947, almost all the meals and the village of all good. they were murdered by dutch troops. one of them was russ these father, rusty was just 6 years old at the time to you i didn't. but as that my father was on his way from the jung left ascending price. he had his own business and yeah, he was killed on his way back. was with my mother at home. someone said that is

that my father had been shots. why do it? cuz i love, i wonder if that's a lot more than $400.00 men are believed to, has been killed that day. only a $181.00 bodies were found their remains are buried in this graveyard dedicated to the victims, including rusty's father, historian, on the hon. has been following the settlement negotiation closely. she says it took far too long for the netherlands to acknowledge its crimes, but sees a payment of damages to the victims children as an important just or tortured conciliation. i must have a nice day and connect. it's too little too late in the sense that many people from the 1st generation have passed the way lead me in the 2nd and 3rd generation, their grandchildren. i think this recognition is an important step, not only to ensure the welfare of the family members, but also to emphasize that what the grandparents data was important for the nation

building process. and when i get to continue the process mission, building the amount of money that the victims get, cannot do justice for what history has taken from them by rusty, at least has made peace with his pass. i found on them. i don't hold any grudge against the dutch, what has happened, let it be in the past to that video data. well that pass going to be change neither kind of recognition or follow good. the sacrifice written on the wall behind the grief yard are the words s a he'll on do at that will be along to die or live with on or there is no other choice. that's all for the day. i'm pablo solely. as in berlin, thanks for watching. we'll see you another time the
