the, the, i'm gonna have as well come to the program. ukrainian forces have broken through russian defensive lines and these up, what is your region read taking mold territory of to weeks of fighting. keep says it has 40, reclaimed the village up for a button. it to its south lives, a city off talk mark, a critical rail junction for russian military supplies. ukraine has been pushing to reach the sea of oz off in an effort to divide russian forces and kept the land bridge to crimea. but the advance has been slowed by heavily fortified russian

physicians and mind and we are trying to go to our report in a kia for more than that. but we're having technical problems. we bring you that a bit later in the program. because more than a 2000 kilometers a to the north side of the war, and ukraine is also having an impact. the optic was once free of geopolitical tensions, but it's plentiful resources and maritime routes have increased its strategic significance. russia has stepped up its military presence using the region to test advanced weapons and nato countries. so also focusing on the fund, north of correspondence, assembled phenomena, travel to know what, where the alliance recently, how the exercises and so 25 sites are just taking all 4 training commission in the arctic. norwegians are practicing together with their comrades from finland and sweden. lieutenant colonel metrics tells us this drill is

specifically for young. a pilots to train a basic skill, the one on one duck fight between 2 aircraft. the reason we're doing that is a, it's, it's still an important skill sets, even though we have new airplanes with a lot of different sensors and weapons that are really good. but we still need to practice that skill set them. uh, it's a good opportunity to that's on, on this exercise, especially now that nato is stepping up. it's focus on the arctic. it's a region rich and resources and one where the alliance is facing competition for power and influence. make sure they're unable to send that to and a challenge, and those challenges have been growing can years. russia has been building up military presence in the region, both on the grounds and etc. indeed,

russia's influence spreads across half of the arctic. according to western sources, it's military base is no out number of nato's outposts in the region. time and again, the region, 5 to jets, scrambled to intercept the western plains in the to our space. 26 times this year alone or russia's movements in the region are of particular concern to need to know, at least since the kremlin order to invade to clean. there was a real seer of the war spilling over into nato territory. seeking protection, finland has joined the alliance and sweden is waiting to become a member to. the swedish squadron commander tells us he's pilots understand what's at stake in the arctic customer, the scenarios, the theme, the situation is really something else today. of course, then it was maybe 10 years ago. so we realized the importance of what we're doing

in our training. and everyone is very focused and as their own, the capabilities and also to build the defense planning with our neighboring countries so that we stand strong together and by training together to know the nation's hope there will be ready for any contingency we come back to the top stories the ukranian counter offensive way ukraine seems to have made some significant gains and it has to be taken the village of a robot to them. we can go now straight to all special correspondence. i. abraham who is in key for us hire. what space a liberation mean for you friends? contra offenses. so the village of robots in itself is, is quite small. it's not very different from the other small villages that ukraine has retaken since the beginning of this counter offensive. but the difference is,

is that it lives on a, on a road that is about that that takes it to that. um, that could take you're creating and trips to the city of talk mark, which is the strategic rail. uh, and with this logistics hub for russian occupation forces and, and then it is also, you know, looking forward into the goals of the counter offensive robots. and he is about 85 kilometers away from the city of miller to pull. i don't know that's a far that's a long road for ukrainian troops to potentially reach miller to fall, but it is called, it is known as a, you know, a possible gateway to crimea and ukrainian forces have time. and again, a said that a crime. yeah. is the sunroof center of gravity for the counter offensive, and the ultimate goal would be to separate russian forces by somehow making a break in that area. so while the village itself is not a, you know, a massive strategic place, it could be the 1st step in

a series of strategic games moving forward for a ukrainian troops in the country offensive. now i want to put these games in the south gearhart into context for viewers as well. now there are fears that with ukranian troops really focusing on the south east. they're neglecting the, you know, a front line elsewhere in the north east. specifically, around the district of coupons quits. you know, the city of coupons was occupied by russian troops for 6 months at the beginning of the war. a russian troops are now saying that they're making a gains and recapturing position. and i was, i was there in the north east recently, and people there are evacuating and there's a real fear that you know, your claim might lose ground up in the northeast while it is focusing on the south . special correspondent, you for him. thank you. thank you. very much i you francis position in these as become

a more precarious offer deadline pos for the french and bassett. a to leave these as military have given the french invoice until sunday to withdrawal bonds. the president, the amount of my call says his diplomat will stay despite the risks local media report that the embassies pa and voted supplies have been cut off. and nc french protesters have gathered outside the embassy and the military base. some way the russian flux, the former colonial pa, from still has some 1500 troops based in nature, powers has refused to be recognized the legitimacy of the 2 monitoring events. is that for us is all corresponded? amato co yet based in light goes in neighboring night. jerry now francis said it had no intention of complying with the ultimatum to pull its diplomat out of new jet today. how about this develop to i'll just say the hubs that so it's

made somebody gain has passed. so yeah, and the problem is, like you did mention the president, my cronum saying, you know, his people will be a bus of the roof and needs to be there. the smells kind of making the risk between 2 countries. more of yours as you will, today's most head, you know, kind of crazy. the coverage of this post presidential not resigning. and also the president was continued to see, even though it has been us to be, i'd say in that you know, upfront, does not take or that the few like from the ones on the come of us expose the, as much of it now was, this is going to show again now is where, you know, price is with me here on this was because the on the 13th of the who said that it does not recognize, it continues to see that recognizes only to, you know, a mature, democratically elected president. by soon as so is left to see now who, what happens next indeed will be on the continue to stay that. what is that going to mean one of those students? who would there be some sort of affinity, even

a response from the one to those who may be interested in this community. but yes, a process remains, in addition to say that a bunch of that will remain in spite of being given an ultimatum to in the future. i couldn't use every lies on goods and man pav from a neighboring nigeria where you are. but now the board has ex, though, is, is this effect affecting people's lives? the obviously the, the effects of stock has been, i mean it's increasing the gets in was the silver and most of cause seems to cool. and then the sanctions the follows, like you do know like ever provide 75 percent off by a power supply. i'm most businesses, but small business is a big, big method. even in new jersey depends on possible side of that has been called the business is also, you know, i mean the, the risk between states in the area of the ship. again, that's how stuff transportation also has sold even though there was consequences under people of the show continues to feel the impacts. what it seems to be seeing

is the type of leave dealing with the results to contribute to show support has been that yes, the feeling the pain she has to be in the mix based on the bias of people. but if people have the means, we really just saw them coming out to get the numbers used to be on the street. so yes, the impact is definitely the strong, negative, or costs for the people seem to be finding a way to continue to. and i despise of the one month of the correspondence. i'm not clear that reporting. thank you very much. i'm ok. thanks. that's the some of the other story is that making headlines around the world. the spanish holland of my ok has been hit by a strong storm for your heavy winds and correct so rain the storm re topic for to risk visiting this particular holiday destination expands weather agency issues and i look for the battery out garlands and catalonia flights from buffalo and a half for, for delays due to the high wind farms has binding v as
