to 4 months ago ukraine launched it's much anticipated counter offensive since then, complaints from the supporters have been mounting about. the lack of progress and speed of the operation must accuse restoration. questions started arising about whether or not the ukrainians were making adequate use of the materials and training provided to them to push back the doug and russian troops. anthony, blinking surprise visits to the war torn country comes out of the size of moment at a time of growing polarization in the us over age to ukraine. the top diplomats trip signals washington's continued support, and he announced a new, a package worth over $1000000000.00. i'm gonna go for lincoln, berlin, and this is the day the i'm your 1st and foremost to demonstrate our ongoing

as the term support for your message. the united states is sending today by announcing a new security system to pass the package. we want to make sure that the frame has what it needs, not only to succeed in the counter offensive, but that's what it needs for the long term. what is being decided here in the training this? no, it's just about to crate. this is the way the world will look like fundamental difference makers. the trainings are fighting for their own country for their own future, for their own freedom. russians are not. and that gives me tremendous confidence also on the day we may be ukrainians, finding a different kind of battle, the one against homophobia. but for 2 more years, basically, we want legal protection for our family to find a life together. you need protection from the state. what they've been the piece that we need, recognition of who we really are until we are

a family. and we seem just welcome to the show. he came unannounced and made a big announcement on a surprise trip to cave us secretary of state antony blink and flinched over $1000000000.00 in additional aid for ukraine. that includes over $665000000.00 in new military and civilian security assistance. over the past months, the debate over washington support for ukraine had been growing louder with many us analyst voice and criticism. over the slow progress of the counter offensive, of lincoln's message was clear every inch of recovered territory as an achievement . now since i was last year, almost exactly one year ago, the premium forces have taken back more than 50 percent of the territory seized by russian forces since february of 2022. and the ongoing counter offense progresses, accelerate. in the past few weeks,

this new assistance will help sustain it and build for the moment. today with present soleski, i discussed longer term sustainable security arrangements, which will provide ongoing security assistance and modern military equipment across land, air, c and cyberspace. as well as training and intelligent share military analyst frank language joins me now. frank, this is the highest level visit by us officials since february when jo 5 and travel to keep. why was it important for blinking to visit now? but could they be the co? i think there are 2 reasons. one of the, one of them you've already mentioned, the matter is that it's a long time since one of the senior cabinet members of the united states government visited. so it's a pretty irregular event. the 2nd is really to and show i think the support of the united states to a difficult time. he said it does look like that himself said, i think this is legitimate. he wanted to get some ground truth as to what was

happening. he's going to be getting some, some fairly confidential briefings for the senior members of the ukraine and government. and of course, in the military, i think that would be very important for future decision making. very high strategic that. yeah, and there has been a lot of complaining in um, in the us about not having an oversized so that might send a signal to the lawmakers. worried about that now in talks with form is through collab blinking said it seemed some good progress. but many of depends upon what they are to disagree and how is the counter offensive really going? right, well that's what can be blunted, not a single person in the pentagon or in the united states is that before a high end, conventional war guys to pay a compasses repair enemy such as the russians. and i think they should be rather reluctant to represent to be prescriptive about how ukrainian generals fight this war i've, i've commanded and low and come boss. and so they are fairly low and i can tell

them that it's extremely stressful. so to be prescriptive, i think is, is, is on cold. but to answer your question about the tactical level, things look a bit difficult, but they always do with the practical level. but it was never going to be easy. i say have a restful way said that you printed bite and told sustain abilities that these, that keep notes in. in this, the proceeding schedule blinking arrived on the day and you courtney lawmakers, approved the nomination of the new defense ministers. will the re shuffle have consequences for ukraine's allies or i don't think so. save for that issue that you mentioned before you just touched on it then i think it's really important that corruption issue. now resident called himself was not personally associated to that . the expect to say in corruption, but the problem is that p presided over over and over a system that, that evidence is on the big multiple examples that we don't need to go through the, the, the, the, the new defense minutes. because he's quite being very important. he hasn't been

associated with that. he's telling me you've got this clean. so i think that's the, that's the key message of this new new minutes. so to keep messages, one crimea, from and to a clean process. it went no blinking pledge another a package worth over a $1000000000.00. where is the support more was needed right now where to the ukrainians need it most acutely. like what we've heard the loss over the last year and a half about big ticket items. the 60 is the high miles and so on. what you crating soldiers will want there on the ground, the cost bike at the lower end. they want the body on that they want noise. they should have probably what's called the mobility or d id kind of mobility, not only to assisted in mobility on the battlefield, but of course if occupation of wounded, which right now is, is carried out either on social risk and protected vehicles. so if, if, if we were gonna look at another category of, i'd be dr. very launch quantities. the big ticket item on this, of course,

with the quino item, is it, we're uranium tip shows all the tools coming a box tanks, but they've already know a very normal paucity, operate the onto tank over here by the all the way the bottom of it and you say there are normal part, but the and there was a bit of discussion when they were 1st provided to the ukranian army by, by the fritz. how will the ukrainians be able to use them in wire? they are somewhat controversial. so, but what that allows you to do to college drill surrounding me. all right, it's as simple as that. you, you're a new want to play to do. writing is extremely hard. is my child at the most, at most the alarm or any day, most dom and a competitor, right? 30 using it's a simplest, not particularly small the calipers. so it allows you 1st to tell it to be able to get onto your operations. the criminals, as you, as a well not influenced the course of what they call the special military operation. that's of course, far from the truth. but i do want to know from you how much of a difference the u. s. a. has actually made until today in ukraine's war

it's been utterly decisive from the stop javelin. miss sophomore was, i'm coming timeouts patriot. that the political pressure which i'm and it was, they were bit reluctant on this on the times. but that comment. i think what your client would want though is on most a teacher perspective on, on the grounds of weapons. so we're talking k pops, the united states might consider a police and some of the 2 of the off 1000, a bronze tanks. they have an iron bed tree, a span, that's it. why didn't storage all of them. the 1st one that i think you're christ, why there's a lot more to come on. i suspect that's what present savanski may be discussing. over the next couple of days all day or so with mr. blinking, blinking wall in cave said he wanted to make sure you crane has what it means, not just now, but in the long term as well. to give, keep a strong deterrent as he said, to the lengthy, that might sound like nato membership. but what does he actually mean as, yeah, the in the united states and particularly present by nothing's better reluctance

always if i looked at actually for a couple of decades to discuss nathan membership, the ukraine. i think that's going to be the case until the war finishes. i think that realistically, what will be discussed in this context is that a start sort of long term perspective on websites and security assistance. and that security assistance course doesn't just take the form of bomb or, and, and concerts of hauled edge of another tree of milky capability, but also the soft range. if you can call it the cyber space recognizance intelligence and so forth that mr. blake, and was talking about today, but it's all very well making these announcements every month or so every 6 weeks. but what i think you pay monthly is a guaranteed pipeline of this because they keep the, the, the, the key, the amount of, of an additional sustainability. and the credit is always set up right now. this talk approach strip be isn't really working fine, but which thank you so much. always great speaking to you. thank you ma'am. and

ukraine. the fight against the russian invasion is only one of many bottles. there's another one happening on the homefront, the 5 for quality, like and many post soviet countries sales will be due to community face has many prejudices to any crime, but the country is changing and campaigners are helping to make that happen. the w corresponding like sun is in the eastern ukrainian city of harkey, and he talked to some active us there about confronting hello phobia. the stuff here and her fill active this one to be visible. even though they know not, everyone will be happy to see that as we speak stuff to you who helps organize how to give pride gets news of the hand title to be to protest elsewhere and tell them now they are reduced to that kind of hostility. well, not so then what are you not to we are a democratic country of, of don't wish i don't see any problems if this is how they want to show their

opposition for the novel have to provide. it's better than harassment. the divine. yeah. the rebels, it was the meeting people today, which happens at that very often after pride, think you'd be surprised that they're more worried about russian missile attacks. that's one reason why only a handful of people showed up. another is that many have left town, but also some are fighting the russians. the cut outs were present, those were absent. no rainbow without yellow and blue with this one reads the colors of the premiums like the signs of pride don't last long. so not even 2 hours later, some of the cut outs are already missing and they were brought not too far away. so you can see right here, let me pull one out for you. this one says this could be moderate sco, which is at the front line, evacuated and some of the guys who did this are still at work and

it appears not camera is out of the show. i don't think knows the time for promotional campaign for this. it would be more logical if instead of these posters, there were photos of the boys who died in the wolf country. they sacrificed their lives not only for free fund, keith, but also for ukraine. chapel as it does, are hard to come in. they'll pay you to them by the time for a few hits at 11 o'clock, most of the cut outs are gone destroyed, or the faced ukrainian law still only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. that surveys show more than half of ukrainian supports, same sex marriage, and about a quarter oppose it. say, you know, these are intimate mattress. he, you mohammed a wood, one section orientation for you, but there is no need to show a bunch of natural benefits. and then do, with the owners man, not affecting anyone else with this, everyone has a right to left,

whoever they want, which is a draft law to recognize civil unions between people of the same gender was introduced to ukraine's parliament earlier this year. that would be a major step for the entire career community, especially those fighting. and this war stuff has partner, alina is a career soldier, she's just return home for per unit for a break. she doesn't tied her sexuality from her conference, but says, reactions have been mixed. the couple held a mock wedding with friends on us here for the whole life. here we have not real photos out the north national. we have a video of the ceremony x, that ammonia altima, but we still can't get married. a new crane putting in new fox could to, to her. so it's difficult to pretend there was something personal though, so, but we still can't get married to the moon on the session and watch them all of those like this. and she also knows like all other queer soldiers,

that if she is hurt or killed, her partner will have no rights to make decisions more for tomorrow. we want legal protection for our family to find a life together. you need protection from the state, what they've been the please. we need recognition of who we really are and we are a family and we see that family is fighting for ukraine's future and fear place within the media reports. here in germany, say an employee, the countries for an intelligent service is to be charged with treason for allegedly passing secret information to russia. the man oversaw a department monitoring overseas telephone and internet communications at the intelligence service. he's only been named as carsten l. d. g. germany is privacy laws and has been under investigation since the december when he was arrested. the

alleged co conspirator was detained later by a police or political correspondingly on the phone. how much time has been following the story for us, looney? can you tell us more about what he's alleged to have done? so? yes, so costs and a high ranking driven intelligence officer is leave to have shared intelligence about the war and ukraine, and the wagner mercenary group with russia. and he's believe to receive roughly 400000 euros in return. that's what streaming media reports say. so how does you share that information with russia? that's where his alleged co conspirator, r. e. you mentioned him to comes in, or is it e, a german businessman, born in russia, is accused of traveling to moscow and handing intelligence that intelligence to russia's domestic spite agency, the speed. the 2 men had apparently 1st met at a private party at a football club in the very yeah, in 2021. web casting had told arthur

e about his work at the foreign intelligence service. following a trip off from the brought that intelligent service done, started with an internal investigation costs. and it was you mentioned that arrested in december of last year or so he was arrested just a month later and now they've reported the been charged with treason. the prosecutor's office has so far, the kind to comment on the reports that it was filed charges, right. serious allegation. and treason is a very serious charge, as yeah, exactly. so bozeman has been rewarded the trash with trees, and in a particularly serious case by germany's prosecutor general reports say, so if prosecute it, they could both phase life sentences and the court and the invalid. now needs to decide whether to hear the case, the head of the foreign intelligence service recently described the case as a shock to the agency, understandably so. but he also told of durham news papers that much of the material

that was actually passed on was of limited value. and that the intelligence service had stepped up its security measures to prevent further leaks. a shock to the system. they call it, but how big a problem is spying by russia in germany? really? yeah. so it's actually not been of the 1st case and the in recent months, just a month ago, a government official in germany who worked for an office, dealing with military equipment, was actually rested on suspicion of spying to the man. thomas h had visited both the russian embassy in berlin and the russian consulate in the city on multiple times and had offered his services. and that's where the prosecutor set in his statement and he's suspected of actually providing information obtained at his work. so similar to cost and l with the intention that'd be passed to a russian intelligence service. but germany, you know, for the bigger content is not the only country who has been worried about russian

espionage following the invasion of ukraine. in fact, last february, and there are a number of countries to in poland including norway, u k, who have arrested or expelled, suspected russian spies. is there any fund how much time? thanks, learning a spanish football player, jenny, or most so has filed a criminal complaint against the head of spain's football federation. voice will be on this list, kissed her most so on the lips after spain, one the final of the women's world cup. and also later sent the case was non consensual and left her feeling. the victim of an assault for wallace has refused to step down from his job football, governing body fee fob placed him on temporary suspension. several hunter, as a journalist and broadcaster league our tvs has been following this case very closely as you joins me now from barcelona. and we're good to see you again. what

can you tell us about why her most have finally decided to file a criminal complaint as well? i think you already said it was right there to see in the statement. she says she thought this actually was a victim of section of russian and she had 15 days to actually present one of these official complaints to the prosecutor's office. and other people were asked to why she was taking so long. but i think the reason being is that she was trying to understand what her rights were in this particular situation and get a better sense of how to proceed. they're all ready for official complaints, filed the prosecutor's office, and the trip. i think it was a week ago now, and that was already taken to the national course, but they need it in order to continue with the investigation of the complaint from trinity, or most of herself on her behalf employers. so that decision has been made as she filed the report yesterday. it was only made public today. and so now they have that i have leave as of september 12th, or maybe i can now actually as of right now,

they can go ahead and carry on with this see days. and i'd like to try and uh take action as soon as possible. okay, looking into this as a crime and they'll be leaning on a lot which is referred to as the on the yes is yes, law which has to do with consent. and according to that law, in the absence of incense, then this kind of behavior, this kind of act is seen as and i just actually depression. and so i suppose that is what it is that she is father forgets. now ruby alice denies any wrong doing, have we heard from him yet? we heard from him the other day on friday when the t h e, which the admission reports made a ruling. i said that they would not be suspending him. so he came up with a statement, a couple of hours later, and basically, dumpling down and everything hasn't already been signed the whole time. and for anyone you saw the, the assembly speech that he gave, or read parts that, that speech, it was very much the same thing. he just repeatedly says that he's

a victim and all this that she is given his at her consent to him when she's clearly denied that on several occasions. and he continued to retract this so called all southerners in which most of the i don't even know. and so he just continues to say that he is going to fight this until the games. and he's not going to find that since the news broke. but tell me that most is going to possibly use office. we have not heard from your house will be cited something any time soon. or if he's going to just go through the court, someone here to read that via that avenue. but of course, the 10 show that we could hear something from him in the coming days. but as of right now, as i say, i'm not a word. yeah, there's a ripple effect to all of this the same day here. most of went to testify, the women's coach for chlamydia was sacked. he's been a controversial figure for quite some time as any. of course,

this controversy really dates back to a year ago from now. wizard team players. they wrote an e mail to the side to ration and express the concerns about the mental well being the emotional well being. they spoke as methodologies and practices that were not up to the sizes that it should be that they wanted to be treated. the way amends too much, they did it with my concerns about the law and the injuries and how they were being treated last time thing injuries. i also just overall concern, but i couldn't vision at a 100 trying to go on an antique right. thanks. i so that created a huge division, a huge risk amongst the country in stockton and the tires because most of the tires were told by the total ration that they couldn't come back unless they need to sign it or not. so we certainly have been cashed. so going into a very long time now hasn't really had the support of many of the players, and many of the wire football finds the support, the spanish, the spanish ones, national t. c. and i. so there's always this tension going on under the surface,

considering that of the 16 through 8, which asked to be called at the will company only took 3. so 12 for next out. so yes, well, lots of people felt as though he needed to go a long time ago. a lot of people see this though, this woke up was one despite not because of him. and also that didn't help. that's where he was in. that is somebody in the front row, you can see it very clearly applauding this really alice and kind of cheering on. and he's always been an ally. he's always been a supporter of him, and they have a close relationship. so it's really no surprise that he's the size of the values rather than those women. so it almost, i'll just let you know that he didn't need to go in the end. it was my question is when rather than that, we'll have to leave it there. several 100 sports journalist from bertha luna. thank you so much. i a thank you. the rolling stones are back the rock legends assembled in london to launch

a new album of original material and true to their reputation. it was a noisy affair. the rolling stones take the stage at the end price theatre to rupture with applause. the veterans performance were here to promote hackney diamond's bands. best of filtering, original music. in 18 years. you got to meet a good question from us torture who was just calling. it is always the 1st time mick jagger keith richards. and when you would, came together in the studio to sponsor the death of drama, shoddy watts. so it must feel different, not having charlie watts at, in, in the studio with your playing. what was that like? the is only a is a, this is child is gone, is different course. you know, i mean is the, is number 4 is messing these up, the yeah, a lot of number for that, right? yeah, of course, he's miss an incredibly bad that out though it's the guy and making
