a president zelinski made the announcement on monday, no word on when they could possibly be deployed against russian forces. keeps, says that it will need $300.00 bellwood tanks to defeat the russians. now, if you do the math, washington is delivering about 10 percent and it's doing it ahead of schedule. it's now up to europe, to the germans, to deliver what they promised to bring gulf in berlin. this is the day the next week. first, usa rooms times will be delivered to ukraine. it will certainly make a tactical advantage for your brain. there will be abrams, under the ukrainian flag, adding to the sprint of our soldiers and the offer negligible often for uh you bringing forced it to move russian for 2 out of you. frank

also coming up to the writers strike and hollywood. it's stopped production of new shows, it could soon be over. but does that mean that the actors will be back in work as well? it's just presumes that the once the right, as i've got an agreement, it will follow that the actors won't have an agreement. when not sure that yet, so why when happy that the stages move forward? we still don't know the exact and they so many of our favorite shows what to our viewers watching on tv as in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome, we begin the day with babbled tanks and made in america now inside ukraine. on monday you courtney and president zalinski announced the arrival of the 1st abrams babbled tanks promised by the united states. now a total of $31.00. abrams will eventually join a larger force of babel,

obtains coming from western europe, all of them with the same goal. to push back the russians. the m one, a bronze tank is a 3rd generation bottle tank named off to a us army general. it was created for homage ground volstead during the cold war. it's more than 40 years later and following significant upgrades. it's the us armies, main baffle times. the a bronze has seen action in numerous military conflicts around the world, including iraq and afghanistan, weighing more than 60 tons. it's one of the heaviest tanks in service that makes it bulky, but it's well protected against most anti tank weapons. it's $120.00 millimeter main gun has

a range in excess of full kilometers. what makes the m on a bronze unique is it gas turbine engine, which use is a type of jet few. although it has an impressive performance, even washington has acknowledged it has a very high fuel consumption compared to traditional diesel engines. the us also admits the tank system is hard to maintain and expensive to run. just 2 of the reasons why washington has been reluctant to deliberate this battle tank to ukraine or want to bring in military now is now bradley bowman. he's with the foundation for defense of democracies. right. let's get to see you again. what is the significance of the arrival of this 1st contingent of abrams tanks? thanks for the opportunity to join you again. i think the significance is going to

provide additional armor capacity to creating forces as they conduct this counter offensive. you know, there, there is some discussion of this, these tanks arriving ahead of schedule. i think it's important to put that in perspective. i mean ukraine started asking for western tang shortly after the invasion last february and there was a clear reduction reluctance. and then in capitals, including washington to say yes to those requests, i think for fear provoking, put in, which always seemed kind of odd to me because this, after all, was an unprovoked invasion, the largest we've seen since world war 2. but, you know, brilliant britain in germany, united states made disagreement in january. and here we are. about 9 months later these $31.00 tanks arriving and but it's only just $31.00. thanks. yeah, it is. it's, it's only just $31.00 tanks in total. but we can also say that if we weren't talking about these 31 things, we possibly also might not be talking about any battled things at all from western

europe for you. great. do you agree? i would, i think of the london and berlin we're eager to step off the proverbial cliff together if you will, in terms of writing tanks. and so that's why you had disagreement. i just reference in january and that kind of unlocked the british and german decisions regarding of the challenger and leopard tanks. so that's a good thing. but you know, to put these 31, take some perspective in terms of quantity. i mean, that's roughly the size of a 2 us army, and one of the rooms companies in the us army and marine corps have thousands of these things. so as a lieutenant general retired h r, mcmaster chair of our center here and former us national security advisor setting, then i moderated last week 30 tanks, we should be providing 300 and how likely is that going? i mean, how realistic is that? it's 36, i think the unlikely. i think it's unlikely because um, you know, they're expensive. uh and uh,

congress is only appropriating so many funds. and if you're going to make a list of what you cream needs most somewhat debate, whether abrams tanks is in the top 3 or from the top 5. so there is, uh, these tough decisions have to be made about how to allocate, find that resources to get ukraine, what they most needs. and we're talking about money again, just a moment, but let me ask you about the ukrainians now claiming that they killed the commander of the russian black seat fleet when they hit the navy headquarters on crimea on friday. i mean, what do you make of this claim? you know the attack last week on the, the russian black sea fleet headquarters, it appears that keith had good intelligence. they waited for this meeting of, of senior officers and they conducted this attack and according to early reports, and you always have to take early reports cautiously more than a 100 people were injured. and $34.00 officers killed, including admiral victor sock a lot of the they had of the,

the blacks the fleet. um, you know, ukraine claims and now it hit the headquarters, the main building there, but also some insight aircraft, missiles and artillery units. this is part of a larger effort where ukraine is increasing, targeting crimea for number of reasons, one because of its symbolic importance. and also because of its role in supplying and reinforcing, invading russian forces in southern ukraine. there are reports that the us is providing long range tactical missiles called attack ins to ukraine. i mean, can we expect confirmation on that soon? and why would the, by the ministration be slow to confirm that i know i've been calling for uh, washington to provide the attack comes to ukraine for more than a year. now, it will allow the, it would allow the crazy conduct deeper strikes into russian occupied territory, including crimea, align them, they had a headquarters elements, logistical nodes, long's their long straight, long range straight capabilities. and they would augment other systems that have

been arriving by the french and the printers that are error launch. but the attack him in the ground launch is valid, create additional capacity and capability, and create dilemmas for russian military planners. i think the, you know, they, the administration has put up a variety of excuses. i think most don't was stand scrutiny. i think it, a lot of it comes back to this private cation from us. but when we've asked through cranes not to use weapons for strikes inside russia, ukraine is honored that so i, i think this is a boat, a positive mood, mood move on the part of the body restriction if not violated. yeah, the, the us, you could say with the extra mile, providing abrams in response to german re request for bell tanks. it would washington, or should washington be expecting the same reciprocity from berlin as you know, i don't know if the volume restriction will be leading number lin, to provide the, the torres cruise missile, for example. um, from my perspective that would be a good thing is a tourist cruise missiles, a capable system. it's not unlike uh,

systems that the britain and france of already provided. um, but uh, you know, i think uh, air defense and other things like that would be where, what some of europe you know, is, can most help. because i think even during the winter months, we should expect these drone and missile strikes to continue an additional air defense capacity is, is a particular priority. i would say the brand before we run out of time, let me just get see. maybe you could provide us 1st with some clarity on the us speaker mccarthy. he did a 180 this week on his opposition to maintaining web and support for ukraine. the u . s government could possibly shut down later this week and the, the political dc looks like anything and everything except the reliable partner right now, if you're looking at it from this side of the atlanta, particularly for ukraine is, is that an accurate description? i think this is not the best moment for the united states. a government shut down

is not a good look, but uh the decision has been made to consider us support for ukraine, according quite an accepted activity under a government lapse in her preparations. that's washington speak for we're going to continue to train ukrainians, provide them weapons, even if there is a government shut down. but that no way minimizes the fact that a country like united states should not be having government shut down. yeah, i think a lot of people with agree with that statement as well. rarely but i mean it's always my, we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you. of the and now to what could be the genesis of yet another refugee crisis. armenia says nearly 7000 refugees and crossed its border from newborn no cover by ever since either by john to control of the disputed region last week. turkeys president richard probably repair to one. so today that either by john's offensive has perhaps opened a window to normalize strain relations in the region. the

a very liter you'll have all the has suggested a new land core door that would link turkey. and either by john or it would pass through our meaning and territory, and the ice or by johnny region of not shiver, packs cause stream mouse in the kind of us as hundreds of east make armenians flee the some vehicles via the skies of the recent conflicts age groups are on hand to help as families across the board and media. the mass exodus sparks, my fee is for the offense. and then you as a buyer's, you, i'm a room. my condition today we left, they told us either you leave or take us about johnny possible to you, not the kind of people who take up about johnny passports as

a by john re took nicole know kind of best buy for us last week. the region sits within its borders, but had previously been under the control of a snake armenian forces. around 120000 armenians live in the mountain mist. here a tree may see a persecution if they stay that's despite as a by john's promised setup. wants to reintegrate them as equal citizens. space for 40000, from kind of back has been prepared and mania. families standing by for the loved ones arrival face a new this white is north jeweler, this is yes. i'm waiting for my sister to arrive from the garden of car bar. everything she and her husband have built there. she'll leave behind. done. that's very bad. this gina is leaving your house and starting all over again. and this is

already the 2nd time rusher is providing peacekeepers to help with the evacuation. but they were consumed for the 10s of thousands of people yet to leave. and everyone knows how about the food and fuel supplies running low and fees of possible revenge attacks. the police force and the british capital one is facing a revolt from with then some officers are refusing to carry a gun. outreach after murder charges were filed against one of their own. more than a 100 specially trained fire arms officers to say that they will no longer go to work with a weapon. it's important to know that fewer than 10 percent of one police carry a gun. in this pro test, it has raised concerns about the ability of the police. to deal with incidents, we're firing a gun may be necessary. the army was put on standby over the weekend to respond to

potential terrorist attacks, but that is no longer the case. the head of london's police force has called for increased legal protection for officers who use weapons in the line of duty. u. k. prime minister ration seen that says that he understands the concerns of the police law, firearms officers do an incredibly difficult job then making life or that decisions in a split 2nd to keep upside. and bait is us all across to you for that bravery. now it's important when that lou using these legal powers, that they do so with clarity and they have certainty about what they're doing, especially given the pharmacy that they are using. i don't want to go down to one into bringing our correspondence. charlotte chelton philip, charlotte, it's good to see you. tell us more about the case that has led to this police revolt in one or from the states back to the shooting of an on the black

man. last the name was chris k, but he was shot with a single bug bullet through his car. that's the case. a pump sewage resulted in a officer being charged with his mother last week. now the officer involved remains anonymous, things to anonymity order. he's known only as an x one to one, but a number of colleagues have responded to this with the law. i'm. i think it's bad to say, as you said, that they said that they were putting down the weapons. no longer for aging is a police officer jew to the level of concern over this. they fix that. it could mean that they themselves, it's in similar incidents, risk facing and protracted legal proceeding. and it, it sounds like if you're not familiar with it with the statistics,

it sounds like this is not a new problem. but talk to me about how common are shootings by police in the u. k . i mean, what numbers are we talking about? yeah, they're very, very rare and thoughts when police are issuing a statement, they've called for review into the entire legal proceedings and legal protections that were in place for police officers. they pointed to a number to, to $61.00 of them being the police responded to they say on please about full thousands of instants on average, every year they say the weapons of 5 folks is less than twice a year. on average. that means, note point note 5 percent of on the operation results in shots being 5. and i think the point that's being made that by the london police is that they respond to instance like this with cat and caution. but very clearly, some of them do end up in, in legal proceedings in, in rare occasions,

this being one of them. and for many people, the people watching our program in the united states, for example. the fact that one in 10 british police officers carries a weapon that has to come as a surprise to be 10 percent only. why is that? yeah, there is a few offices on there, a number of reasons. so that's one reason i think is because the, the gum, those in the u. k is very much stricter than a lot of other places in order to i want to go on. you have them go through rigorous tests, have a license, and in fact, is there any, really? there's farm is old people in wildlife management who you are issued be these gun license is not for the one reason. another very, very crucial reason is the whole is an idea into which the whole u. k. policing is based not policing by consent. the idea being that you,

uh, the, on the, the trust of the public and that full, you don't need to, to carry a weapon of the, of course, not as is based on public confidence. and that has to be said in the context of what they said cont, uh, confidence in the london police force is very, very low at the moment in pon, softer you found institutional racism, sexism, and homeless idea. uh, in the for the now once again we have the force of back in the headlines today. the u. k. government, it's announced a review of the rules governing police going to use. i mean, how quickly can changes be expected or should we expect changes? it did announce this or he very quickly and the uh, the home office announced was just responsible for the police force. and now it says review basically saying that police offices are making split 2nd decisions and

that they cons. expect to end up in the dark fluid decisions made well the on duty sucks. overdues been issued off the cold from the police to, to looking look again to reform the legal proceedings that offices may space. how quickly any changes will come into full speed. the on the thoughts are, is probably not very quickly. there is a lot that needs to be done, but i think that the, the political will, is very clear quickly could spread outside loans in the past. the rest of the week . i just feel invited. charlie is always going to say you think it could very well be the final chapter in the strikes that has brought the hollywood to a standstill. now for months, late on sunday, the writers guild of america reached a tentative agreement with studio bosses, writers of tv films and talk shows they down their tools 5 months ago, demanding fair pay,

marketing conditions and members of the union. it will now vote on the d o, a separate dispute involving actors. it remains a close to a done deal. one that union negotiate to say contains quote, meaningful games and protections for writers or not much more has been revealed about the tentative agreement that has been struck between the writer's guild and film and television studios is finalized. it could bring an end to a stalemate that has practically ground hollywood to a halt. for nearly 5 months, right, isn't creators took to the streets, cooling for best to pay rules on the number of writing stuff employed on shows and invitations on the use of us, official intelligence and the writing process. every day there's some new story about

a i and there's no doubt that those services will continue to improve. and right now as some of our members call them, they're plagiarism machines and they have no business in the writing of scripts. but this deal wouldn't mean production in hollywood can redeem immediately suck astra a union rep. present some, 850000 actors also began strike action on july 14th and they have not to yet reach to deal with gta bosses. some famous faces have shown disappear. for the cause, the, our industry is a $160000.00 actors for instance. and they're struggling to make a living just to just to, you know, to eat. so and, and they weren't. and many of them were making a very decent living before doing the exact same job. so it's right to stand up the

actors and making some similar demands to the writers, especially on the issue of a copyright. so there is hopes that that will be a full resolution soon and the hollywood can get back to work. you know, they've been out of work for a long time. now let's get to jason, kevin, tony, a. he is the los angeles bureau chief of nbc news radio and he said, it's good to see you. the writers union is calling this i'm in exceptional deal. uh, but we really don't have many details. i'm assuming that though all of the boxes have been to, is that true? you know, that's what we're hearing, that there's been some major development. it seems that i'm sure that they don't want to release the details of this deal. so as not to sway public opinion or sway voting members of the w, ga, the writers guild of america that deal that is been tentatively reached. they're

still formalizing some of the legal language to make sure that everybody is getting what they were promising all. and once the deal is voted on and approved by the va board members, then we'll find out some of the deals about like a i, and how many people can work on it show. and how many writers need to be employed on their show of whatever magnitude? i say it's going to be interesting to see who gave up what in the long run. yeah, and i mean, this is really the 1st big industrial action we have seen. where a i is, is an issue and disagreement. it's going to be one of the 1st a i agreements that have been reached. that is unprecedented. what do we know though? when the writers are actually going to be able to do what humans do and, and get back to, to work. you know, we're not exactly sure on that right now. what we do know is that the writers guild has the edge, the picketing. the striking will stop right now. we will not go out to the

hollywood studios with their signs and add people on their horns and call attention to the issue. but you're right, this is going to be one of the biggest a deals. and you know, it's going to be one of them. the more evolved language when it comes down to what a is. because if you go to chat g to be g t p or whatever it is, go to one of those a i apps and you say write me a rom. com, about a man and a woman who met when they were kids. and having seen each other in 30 years, they're going to write a movie script that are basically the hallmark channel of movies. yeah. and it's very easy to, to duplicate. and so it puts a lot of these people who are already struggling out of work. i got about 20 seconds. just let me just ask you what, what does this mean for the, the actors strike? i would be really surprised if the actors don't come to an agreement fairly soon.

you've got the writers back. now let's get the actors back and a lot of the same issues with the writers guild, the actors have as well a i being the biggest one in residuals being another. so i'm sure the disagreement will come fairly soon. okay. yeah, well why the world, but we're certainly be waiting to find out if there is a double in the details, especially with a i jason camp it only l. a bureau chief with nbc news right here. jason, thank you. thank you. just for the day is always done. the conversation continues on line and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. we'll see you then everybody, the
