[000:00:00;00] however, in addition to the main tasks, it currently faces challenges. the council must take part in the qualification of more than 2,000 judges , which was not completed due to the expiration of the powers of the previous members of the central committee of the communist party of ukraine, as well as find about 700 judges for vacancies in the courts of appeals. we hope that this powerful new composition of the public council of integrity will fulfill all his powers with dignity in the next two years, to date , i have had all this program judicial control and i am tatyana shustrova if you have information about unscrupulous judges and facts of corruption in to the judicial system, let me know on facebook or by e-mail, the address of which you can see on the screen. i hope to see

you in exactly a week, and on espresso there is a special until the independence day of ukraine. the price of freedom. yarmolenko congratulations, the united states will start a training program for ukrainian pilots and mechanics on f16 fighter jets in october, in addition to training conducted by european partners, he said according to reports from the white house, on the eve of the us president joe biden's telephone conversation with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi, the pentagon spokesman petrider discussed , among other things, the start of the training program and the provision of accelerated approval

of the f16 transfer from other countries to ukraine after the completion of these exercises, details of how the training of the ukrainian military from a pentagon spokesman more after training english for pilots in september, it is expected that pilot training for the f16 at the base will begin in october maurice national guard in tucson, arizona, with the assistance of the 100th and 62nd wings of the national guard, although at the moment we do not have specific figures on how many ukrainians will participate in this training, we expect that it will be several pilots and dozens of mechanics . it is important that although some ukrainian pilots know english, we expect that all pilots arriving in the united states will need some level of additional english language training given the difficulty in the specialized english

required for pilots on these aircraft training in the united states will supplement the training of f-16 pilots and mechanics that is already underway in europe and further deepen the support of the f-16 training coalition under the leadership of denmark and the netherlands. while the danes and the dutch are ready to train pilots, but at a certain point their capacity will be exhausted . so anticipating this in advance to help the effort, we are doing it, it could be started a year ago, wrote this border from the rules of lithuania, gabrieluslanzberges, who believes that the west is too slow to provide the necessary weapons to the ukrainians due to fears escalation he says that it is necessary to prepare for victory and therefore to help not only for so long as it will be necessary and also for all that is necessary to the ukrainian military, these messages in washington are delivered by lithuanian diplomats, they among the european ones made the issue

of supporting ukraine one of the priorities of their work in the american capital on the eve on independence day, i spoke with the lithuanian ambassador to the united states in the second meeting about why lithuania so powerfully supports ukraine , does it have to hear a conversation about the war in washington and whether they are divided american politicians believe that the ultimate goal of support should be the victory of ukraine. my colleague vyacheslav filyushkin and i met with ms. odro and plepiti at the lithuanian embassy in washington, which continued its work even during the soviet occupation of the baltic countries. i am very proud of this building next year we will celebrate one hundred years of continuous work as an embassy of lithuania this means that this embassy was a diplomatic representation of lithuania during the occupation this is an exceptional thing

historical very important because of the us policy on non-recognition of the soviet occupation, lithuanian diplomats could continue to work here and present our country in those times and this gave us great hope that one day we will be free and independent and this is of particular importance because we understand how it is when someone supports you in times when there is a threat to your existence, and when we support ukraine today, we remember the non-recognition policy that was so important to us. how did your work as an ambassador of lithuania in the closet change after the start of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine? my work here and before that it was very busy, but february 24 became a really key date. i remember that day, i didn't sleep that night because we in washington followed what was happening in the un security council in new york in moscow and watched the cnn broadcast from kyiv and we understood

that something terrible is beginning, and this was the date when our work really changed, maybe not so radically . nevertheless, we were already focusing a lot on the topic of ukraine, but after the full-scale invasion, this issue became key, because we understand what is happening in ukraine it is important not only for the whole of europe but also for the whole world , tell us a little more about the work that european diplomats are doing in washington to help strengthen support for ukraine, because it seems that not only the ukrainian embassy is working to get as much help as possible, but also the embassies of other supporting countries of ukraine, i can assure you that everyone is working for ukraine and together with ukraine, if we recall another russian invasion of georgia in 2008 in crimea in 2014

, the biggest change today is that now we have a very strong alliance in support of ukraine and it is not only nato countries, not only european countries, but it is also important that other countries such as japan, australia, south korea have also joined this alliance and we all work together for ukraine, do you hear any conversations in washington about fatigue narratives about the fact that they say that the war should be ended as soon as possible. i think that in washington, in the so-called washington bubble , this is almost not heard from the people with whom we work on a daily basis, on the contrary, everyone is very supportive of ukraine, they believe that it is necessary to help and that we

we will do this as long as it takes for the ukrainian victory, but when you read the newspapers , you can hear other voices that may be talking about certain declines in support. victory, and we often hear from lithuanian officials, in particular the minister of foreign affairs, that ukraine should be supported not only for as long as it takes, but also with everything possible so that ukraine wins. do you think or share this approach in washington, after all, we rarely hear such powerful statements here that the ultimate goal is to win the washing dead by cause close maybels for us. it is obvious. we share this opinion. because ukraine is our close neighbor and we know we feel that when ukrainians fight for their country territory for their lives and homes, they are also fighting for us, we understand this because we do not know if russia is not stopped, if ukraine does not win today, what will happen next , maybe we will be next, maybe someone else and this

will have an impact on the security architecture of europe in general, that is why you are fighting for values ​​and for the future european security architecture. i think that many people in washington share this opinion, maybe it is just expressed in other words. india is a year and a half of full-scale war. what messages were the most difficult to convey to the politicians here in washington for you as diplomats? i wouldn't say that something was too difficult to convey, everything is probably difficult because what is happening in ukraine, a full-scale invasion, is so terrible and scary. and we saw how many war crimes were committed how bloody and inhumane they are, probably no one expected that in the 21st century such a war could take place, not only in terms of scale, but also in terms of the level of atrocities committed , so it is not difficult to draw attention to this, and i believe that we, as allies, speak with one

voice. maybe we don't always agree on the details or the speed, but you can see how much progress has been made in these one and a half years since the beginning of the invasion, you down what still needs to be done, what is currently lacking from the point of view of western support for ukraine i i believe that we should continue. we should also focus on ukraine, because they are the best. what they need is that we should listen to ukraine and provide all the necessary assistance . what will we talk about in a year ? next independence day, i hope we will celebrate a completely free ukraine . we will see it even this year. independence day will be celebrated in ukraine, so the war continues , full-scale war, everything is very difficult, but ukraine has done a miracle, ukrainians have done

amazing things in these one and a half years, returning half of the territory that was captured in a year is currently being counter-offensive. i know that it is very, very difficult because the russians took time to strengthen their positions and it is always much more difficult to return the territory than to defend it. i believe that the ukrainians have a lot to be proud of and i am more than sure that before they have a wonderful future in the european union and nato as a strong independent state what you want uk what would you like the ukrainians to hear from you for everything i want to thank the ukrainians they are incredible they set an example with their spirit of desire to fight and defend their country or whether on the front lines or in the cities in all areas, it is incredible and our support for lithuania and ukraine is not weakening, it seems to me that it is getting even stronger, all lithuanians support ukrainians and we will be together with you for a long time on celebrating

the victory video of american news former us president donald trump passed on august 24 formally processed in the fulton county jail in georgia, after which he was released on $200,000 bail , trump and a group of 18 people were charged with attempting to illegally obtain annulment of the results of the presidential election in 2020 in the state of george how the 20-minute procedure of formal arrest took place and what to expect from the consideration of this case will be told by my colleague oleksiy kovalenko this is the first photo of the former president in the history of the united states and the rest of them were taken as one of the mandatory elements of registration in the case in which donald trump and 18 other people were charged with criminal conspiracy to change the results

of the 2020 presidential election in the state of georgia, trump himself said on thursday to journalists that in this way his opponents are trying to disrupt his participation in the presidential race, what they are doing is interference in the elections, this is an attempt to interfere in the elections, this has never happened in our country. trump , who is currently the favorite among the participants in the election races in the republican party , is not under arrest and has the legal right to continue his election campaign now as you can imagine it can get quite confusing especially since the schedule of court proceedings is the same as the schedule of campaign events easier in general against trump faces 91 criminal charges in criminal cases he is accused of falsifying business records during a campaign campaign in new york mishandling and classified documents after his term as president and trying to change the results of

the 2020 presidential election but the case that focuses on trying to change the result elections in one state, georgia can become the most influential head of experts, this is the most serious matter politically for him and the reason why i say this is that they have a recording of him talking about how he wants to change the results of the election trump and his supporters are calling for the removal of the willis company district attorney who it accuses of persecuting trump members of the state's religious community oppose district attorney willis has shown courage, integrity and steadfastness commitment to the principles of justice that underpin our legal system, her efforts to investigate and prosecute former president donald trump are a powerful signal that responsibility has no limits dozens of supporters of donald trump criticized the accusations against him, but why are they our government literally in

front of everyone this is madness, the former lawyer trumps giuliani, who is one of the 18 co-accused in the criminal conspiracy - said that the accusations are unfair this is a case, a fight for our way of life, this is an accusation , a travesty, analysts believe that a large number of co-defendants may be a key factor in proving trump's guilt involve several defendants in a criminal case many of them may decide that they want to make a deal with one of the prosecutors to reduce their own sentence that they received in the case and thus they will have to agree with the prosecutor to provide evidence that the prosecutor does not yet have full county district attorney george finey's contact willie asked the court to start the trial of trump and his singing of the accused on october 23 of this year , trumpulst was against the appointment of this date

oleksiy kovalenko catherine gibson voice of america washington according to polls at the moment if donald trump and joe biden are the main candidates of their parties in the 2024 elections , approximately the same percentage of american voters will be ready to vote for them trump is currently leading among the republican candidates nomination , although he has a dozen rivals , meanwhile , the democrats have no serious contenders to replace biden, so he will almost certainly become the presidential nominee from his party, more details in the story of iryna shynkarenko, part of the verlington democrats in the state of virginia are wary of the fact that 80-year-old joe biden will be the only candidate from his party in the 2024 presidential elections, the main reason is his age , he has great knowledge, but his actions are a little slower than should be in an effective president. i believe that many

people hope that other candidates will become more active and the party will support them. in my opinion, competition is useful, you know, sometimes it is what people need to improve their productivity, for now there are only two minor ones candidates ready to challenge the incumbent president in the primaries are activist mariana williamson and lawyer robert francis kennedy jr. the only way to see a viable candidate other than biden is if biden himself decides not to run all because becoming the party's candidate by defeating the incumbent is difficult historians say they have incomparable-recognizability, they have sources of funding that are not available to applicants and , of course, experience in the election campaign and in

carter's management, which was weak another democrat ran for president in 1980 senator tet kennedy vs george bush senior who was also a very weak president another candidate ran in 92 so it happened but again their opponents rarely win besides biden's favor plays what looks like he again will compete with former president donald trump as the only candidate from the republican party. and this will contribute to the fact that democratic voters will rally around him next year, says a political analyst on obmakorkl, but so far everything looks like do this is all happening again due to the age of both due to trump's legal problems we will be able to see a lot of changes between now and the elections in 2024 since the general election is more than a year away analysts warn that the race is still at a very early stage and say that

polls about the candidates have now been published the president may be irrelevant in november 2024 iryna shynkarenko veronika balderas and glesia with voice of america arlington virginia ukrainians in the usa continue to celebrate independence day the day before in boston, mass. last year they unfurled the giant flag of ukraine, according to the organizers, it is the largest in the world, this is the third unfurling of the record flag on the territory of the usa, last year it was demonstrated in new york and pennsylvania, the largest ukrainian flag was sewn in 2012, its length is 60 meters and the weight is 200 kg, as many as half a thousand people took part in the unfurling of the flag in the millennium park with the support of the ukrainian cultural center of new england , the organizers say that at a time when the war is going on, the flag is a symbol of stability and hope

, the participants of the action hope that after the victory generations of ukrainians continue to celebrate flag day and independence day in a united, prosperous and peaceful ukraine. this month in los angeles, the prestigious world dance festival was held , in which ukrainian dancers from ternopil took part . the girls visited disneyland , khrystyna shevchenko will tell about their impressions , so the ukrainian dance team from the town of chortkiv, ternopil region, won fourth place at the world dance competition in california, 24 teams from different countries of the world performed at the competition. last year, dancers working

at the real dance studio dance studio in chortkov took part in the international dance competition, the world of dance in poland . their number is called after it symbolizes the life of ukrainians during the war in poland. and they were invited to their dance in california and the trainer and director of the dance svitlana mishchenko says that such a chance for the dancers of a small town seemed simply unreal, we were amazed when we won the first place and we were given the two best awards of the festival, this is the best theme and the best costume, and after that we began to think about participating in such a world final, how important it is. but it is important for

all of ukraine, because representing ukraine at a decent level is now considered an honor and it was very important for us, but it was impossible for us financially, but the team had to find money for travel and accommodation by itself , iryna kulchytska , a ukrainian volunteer from silicon valley, offered her help i was simply touched by their sincerity to the core, and when i saw that the girls were from my hometown of chortkiv, they won the championship in poland and were invited to california, so somehow my heart did not allow me to forgive - outsiders thought that this amount was even 40 thousands or $10,000, we will collect in a few days. but unfortunately, of course , people have already run out of financial resources , then kulchytska turned to the sports department of orange county , california for help, which managed to negotiate with

the hotel about free accommodation for the girls in the end, sponsors from ukraine helped with the expenses. this is how the girls are met by the employees of american hotels. even after the performance, the girls do not stop rehearsing. they dance in one of the rooms of the hilton hotel in the city of angheim. then it is difficult to convey these emotions, it was an honor to stand with them on the same stage after we watched the numbers of other participants and were simply amazed by the power of the power of all the teams and we went on stage the age of the girls is from 10 to 16 years, among the band members are children of immigrants from the east of the country, many of the girls' parents are at the front

elizaveta came to chortkiv from melitopol after we left the temporarily occupied city of melitopol, we came to the town of chortkiv i was thinking about where to go to dance because before this is before the war. i was engaged in sports ballroom dancing from the age of seven . it is a very friendly team. you feel at home in california. the girls saw the pacific ocean and visited disneyland. the amusement park also hosted a ukrainian group for free. svitlana says that although they didn't take first place, fourth place among juniors all over the world is considered a huge achievement in the category of adult teams in the super final. ukrainian women took 14th place and neheim county , orange , california. cultural course. several dozen children

and not only ukrainians. what secrets do teachers use to interest children in learning the ukrainian language? folk dances and songs. why did the camp attract the american the little one is about all this in the plot of ivanna podborska and the grown-up bodyguard at the door of the dance hall tetiana hnatiuk monitors the success of her older sons, nine-year-old vitaly and five-year-old matias, the boys were born in america in a multicultural family, the mother is ukrainian, the father is latin american, he speaks three languages ​​at home, very i want my children to know more about ukraine and the history, culture, and now we will sing, because as soon as i found out that the first

ukrainian summer camp was organized in the suburbs of washington, i immediately wrote it down my sons are here and sing ukrainian myroslav in my heart is a sin and art lessons and folk dances and children come home every evening run around the house and say we are ukrainians we are ukrainians it really warms the soul for eight-year-old sasha this camp is an opportunity to learn the ukrainian language that there is a war i am very i'm glad to be with people who speak ukrainian, but i just started speaking this language, i used to speak russian, so i really want to speak ukrainian instead of russian, and ukraine

is not only about the war, but also about great history and culture and veronika and lily already understand this about ukraine, the cossacks, the cossacks, what they were, veronika's mother is happy, her daughter found ukrainian friends in the camp with them thousands of kilometers from home, you can feel yourself involved in ukrainian culture and language, when a child grows up here, she understands that it is not the basic language and it was necessary to encourage by all possible methods so that the child would say properly please give me milk in ukrainian and not in english, here she can play with other children who speak ukrainian, who age and at the same time it is done very easily in the form of fun dances for children is taught by professional choreographer roman mykyta he was also born in the united states in a ukrainian family therefore

he understands how to interest children born here in learning the language and culture of their parents i use this as a magic trick before i i say we will dance they stand in the usual poses and when i add a little magic and i say we will dance like magic they get into the right position i don't say boys and girls but ladies and gentlemen then they start behave more like an adult, the founder of the camp, solomiya, a professional musician from horohiv, thanks to almost 20 years of teaching experience, she developed her own way of teaching the participants of the camp new ukrainian

words . i created songs based on english songs that they know . and they do all this, and it is so very interesting how they learn the language through music , even among the participants of the camp there were children who do not have ukrainian roots, such as seven-year-old abigail, who joined her ukrainian girlfriends, what do you know about ukraine? there is now a war. i support ukraine in this war. ukrainians are good plants. they help me. when i get injured, a total of 22 children from washington, virginia, maryland and even pennsylvania took part in a week-long cultural camp. the parents are satisfied. the children learned something. they felt what we have. there is a very deep culture that it is not only war and that it is us, we are strong and we need to continue
