to 4 months ago ukraine launched it's much anticipated counter offensive since then, complaints from that supporters have been mounting about the lack of progress and speed of the operation. much the keys restoration question started arising about whether or not the ukrainians were making adequate use of the materials and training provided to them to push back the dog 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 and the last over age to ukraine. the top diplomats trip signals, washington's continued support and cube, he announced a new, a package worth over $1000000000.00. i'm to go for lincoln, berlin, and this is the day the i'm here, 1st and foremost, to demonstrate our ongoing and the term support for you for,

for the message the united states is sending today by announcing a new security assistance. passive 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. what is being decided here in ukraine just of us to crate this 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 please. we need recognition of who we really are and 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 blank and pledged 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 boys 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 here almost exactly one year ago, the training forces have taken back more than 50 percent of the territory seized by russian forces since february of 2022 in 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 presence lensky, i discussed longer term sustainable security arrangements, which will provide ongoing security assistance in modern military equipment across land, air c, in cyberspace. as well as training and intelligent sharing military analysts. 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? look at a medical, 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 map both 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. it said it is what click it himself, set it to and 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 military. i think that would be very poor 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 enough oversized so that might send a signal to the lawmakers worried about that now in talks with for mr. ke labor blinking said it seemed some good progress. but many of the pen to bon woods there 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, for the united states is that before a high end, conventional war guys to pay a compasses repair a enemy such as the russians. and i think they should be rather reluctant to represent to be prescriptive about how ukranian generals fight this war. i've, i've commanded in low and come boston so they,

it's highly low. and i can tell the even the 6th street mistrustful. so to be prescriptive, i think is, is, is on quotable, but to answer your question, a tactical level. things look a bit difficult, but they always do with the practical level, but it was never going to be easy as they have a rep. always said that you printed by to told sustain abilities, that is the key notes in. in this, the proceeding schedule. blinking arrived on the day and you quine, lawmakers approved the nomination of the new defense ministers. will the re shuffle have consequences for your friends 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 president called himself was not personally associated to that. the expect to say in corruption, but the problem is that presided over over and over a system that the government years and 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 it as clean. so i think that's the, that's the key message of this new new minutes or 2 key messages, one crimea from and to a clean process. it went on blinking pledge another a package worth over a $1000000000.00. where is a support? more was needed right now where to the ukrainians needed most acutely. but 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 the crating soldiers will want, and they're on the ground. the costs, like at the lower end stuff, they want the body on that they want noise. they should have probably what's called the mobility or do any kind of mobility, not only to assist in, in mobility on the battlefield. but of course if occupation of wounded, which right now is, is carried out either on soto risk and protected vehicles. so if, if, if we're going to look at another category of a, b, dr. very large quantities, the big ticket items on this,

of course. so the key no item is uranium tech shows all the tools coming a brock's tanks, but that very normal, a very normal paucity operate the onto tank over here by the on the or the bottom of the you say there are a normal part, but there was a bit of discussion when they were 1st provided to the ukranian army by, by the brits. how will the ukrainians be able to use them and why are they somewhat controversial? so, but what that allows you to do to call these deals surrounding me on, but it's as simple as that. you, you really want to play to the writing is extremely hard. it's much harder than most, most the alarm or any of the most dom. and it can penetrate 30 using it's the simplest, not particularly small the caliber. so it allows us to tell it to be able to get onto all of our operations. the criminals, as you, as a, will not influence 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. aid has actually made until today in ukraine's war

it's been utterly decisive from the stock javelin massage north. i'm coming hi miles 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 you claim would want though, is a most to teach a perspective on, on the grounds of weapons. so we're talking k pops the united states might consider releasing some of the 2 of the off 1000 a bronze tanks. they have an iron bed, treat a span, that's what in storage rather than the 1st one that i think you're christ. why there's a lot more to come on. i suspect that's what presents the landscape may be discussing over the next couple of days all day. also, with mr. blinking, blinking wall and cave said he wanted to make sure ukraine 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 lensky that might sound like nato membership. but what does he actually mean? yeah, the in the united states and particularly present by the things 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 auburn and concerts of hauled edge of never treat of military capability. but also the soft red shifting quote, the cyber space recognizance intelligence and so forth. it 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 to concept of an additional sustainability and the pregnancy 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 is another one happening on the homefront. the 5 for quality, like in many post soviet countries, they l g, b, 2 q. community face has many prejudices in ukraine, but the country is changing and campaigners are helping to make that happen. the w corresponded my son 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 them 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 the then the you not to, we are a democratic country behind the host on which 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 that 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 summer fighting the russians the cutouts were present, those were absent. no rainbow without yellow and blue with this one reads the colors of the premiums. 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 evacuating. some of the guys who did this are still at

work and it appears not camera. is that on 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 keys, 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 defaced. ukrainian law still only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman. but surveys show more than half of ukrainian supports, same sex marriage, and about a quarter oppose it. to say you see these are intimate mattress. he, you mohammed a wood one section orientation way, but there is no need to show it to a bunch of natural benefits and then do the owner's man not affecting anyone else

with this. everyone has a right to left, whoever they want to know, 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. just partner, alina, is a career soldier. she's just returned home for her unit for brick. she doesn't tied her sexuality from her comrades, but says, reactions have been mixed. the couple held a mock wedding with friends on us here for the high for you. we have not real photos out there and it was natural. we have a video of the ceremony x, that ammonia altima, but we still can't get married. a new cream putting you in foss. good the to her. so it's difficult to pretend there was something personal though. so we've, we still can't get married at the, the moon with session and watch them all those like this. and she also knows like

whole other queer soldiers that if she is hurt or killed, her partner will have no rights to make decisions. look what you more you to be sure that 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. 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 over, sees 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. loony. can you tell us more about what he's alleged to have done? 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 of received roughly 400000 euros in return. that's what the german media reports say. so how does he share that information with russia? that's where his alleged co conspirator, r e. you mentioned him to comes in, or is he 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 bavaria in 2021 web cast and had told arthur

e about his work at the foreign intelligence service. following a trip off from abroad, the intelligence service done started with an internal investigation and 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, all right, serious allegation and treason is a very serious charge. as, yeah, exactly. so bozeman has been reported the trash with trees and in a particularly serious case by germany's prosecutor general reports say, so if prosecuted, 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 the 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 the, the 1st case and the in recent months, just a month ago, a government official and 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 of fun multiple times and had offered his services. and that's where the prosecutor set in his statement and he 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, from the bay, your content is not the only country who's 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 out of this. so regardless kissed her most o 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 lega tvs has been following this case very closely, and she joins me now from barcelona. and we're good to see you again. what can you

tell us about why are most of finally decided to file a criminal complaint as well? i think you already said it was right there to see in the statement. she said she felt as though she was a victim of section of russian as 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 of 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 needed in order to continue with the investigation of the complaint from tenure, 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 believe, 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 take action as soon as possible. are they looking into this as a crime? and they'll be meeting on a law 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 an address actually impression. and so i suppose that is what it is that he 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 of 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 has at heart consent to him. why do you clearly deny that on several occasions, and he continued to, to attack this so called all southerners in which positive 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 most is going to possibly use office. we have not heard from your house will be cited something anytime soon or if he's going to just go through the court. someone here to read that via that avenue. but of course it's 10 so 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, or most a when to testify the women's coach for, for a minute i was sacked, he's been a controversial figure for quite some time as any of course,

this controversy really dates facts a year ago. so now wizard team players, they wrote an e mail to the side of ration and express the concerns about sex, mental well being their 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 with an immense too much. they did it with my concerns about the law and the injuries and how they were being treated last time. thing increase, 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 cookie and stockton and the tires because most of the tires were told by the ration that they couldn't come back unless they call it and you need to sign it or not. so we certainly has been 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 spanish ones national

t. c. and i. so there's always this tension going on under the surface, considering that of the 15 through 8, which asked to be called at the will company only took 3. so 12 for laptop. 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 a very clearly applauding boost will be alice, i know 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 decided to be honest 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 barcelona. thank you so much. i thank you. the, the rolling stones are back, the rock legends assembled in london to launch
