taking that into consideration, our options are very limited, but this is the frontline beyond us. beyond us is no man's land after that ukrainian positions. we have learned that the offensive here is about to resume the counter offensive launched by ukrainian troops here and here. san region, which has so far, been incredibly unsuccessful in all over the past week and a half ukrainian forces have taken over about half a dozen small villages and settlements. ukraine's exact losses are secret, but they are said to be formidable look amusement from what i know. at least 400 wounded, ukrainian soldiers have been delivered to the hospital of the ministry of internal affairs and nick, alive. in total, the cities, hospitals took more than 2000 wounded agreeance. when here is no space left in the

morgues nearby in newark, a healthcare far away from the front lines. the american supplied high mars rocket impacted an apartment block, killing 6, have billions. this has become the norm here, and it has only gotten worse, which is what many locals feared. spiteful strikes, launched by key f to a bench. it so far, failed count her offensive, more at gas, give r t from care saud region. ah, the u. s. has announced to more military and packages for ukraine and its neighbors worth billions of dollars. that as secretary of state blanket made an unannounced visit to key as on thursday. the new american package includes aid for countries which are not necessarily nato members, but deemed by blanket and what he calls those at risk of quote,

future ration aggression. this brings the total amount of money washington has given few cranes is the start of the conflict over $14000000000.00. germany meanwhile, has also promised to deliver more military equipment and to sponsor training for ukrainian soldiers. as western delegates met at the u. s. air forces ramstein air base in germany. the united nations has expressed concern about the flow of weapons being sent ukraine. the un hi representative for disarmament affairs urged the international community to be more transparent and it's arms transfers. she underlined the devastating impact on civilians caused by heavily arming ukraine and called for the security council to focus on how these weapons are being used in early june, interposed james, also voice his concerns over the destination of the weapons sent to crane. he warned. so once the conflict and criminal groups will try to exploit the

availability of weapons, he says a wave of arms will flood a legal global weapons networks and end up in the hands of criminals. before lincoln's departure, one washington post journalist asked the state secretary, what accounts for the disconnect between us shipments of weapons and ukrainian soldiers saying they lack the munitions they need. i read some of your very, very good calling. the russians are in many of these instances throwing everything they do finance soldiers and millions and they're doing it industry. and if you're on the receiving end of that, it's gotta be incredibly hard. earlier i spoke with retired us air force, lieutenant colonel karen quick koski. she says the law of weapons serve as a welfare program for the u. s. military industrial complex. most of the weapons.

and the that's being provided is really pretty mundane. it's not top of the line stuff. a lot of the stuff is right out of inventory. and it is really, this is gifting of our inventory to ukraine and other countries is very much a domestic management tool for the military industrial complex which needs to buy more stuff all the time. and this provides an opportunity for defense companies, particularly the major ones that really are the, establish offense in this country to make money, to, to win contracts, to put forth new ideas or new weapons and that kind of thing. so we have to understand part of this as a domestic welfare white collar welfare program back in the united states as your complex. that's a big part of it to get the kind of transparency that would, that would, we should all expect in something like this. pressure would have to be put on the

cranium. government. certainly it's, it's political leadership and it's military leadership. we're not putting any pressure on their government. their government in all can do no wrong. and any criticism of their government is seen is unpatriotic and an american. on this in and we're just not going to do it. there's not, i think very few congressmen standing up or no senators are standing up to condemn this. china and india have begun, steps to and their military stand off, and the dispute is the dock region near their shared borders and the himalayan mountains. india is defense, ministry has described it as a step towards ending in almost 2 year long confrontation between the countries. the indian and chinese troops in the area of gogo, hot springs have begun to disengage in a coordinated and planned way, which is conducive to the peace and tranquility in the border areas. the decision to pull troops from the contested area comes amid the run up to

a meeting of the regional shanghai cooperation organization next week, where indian prime minister nor andrew modi and chinese president, she's paying, are expected to take part. beijing and new delhi have been engaged in the complex since may 2020, when the chinese army allegedly crossed her control line in eastern dak months later about 40 chinese soldiers and 20 indian troops were killed in clashes after that. both sides increased appointments in the area. and since then there have been more than a dozen rounds of peace talks to discuss. the latest was cross alive now to india, an air marshal, veteran and warren. sir, it's great to have you on the show today. let's start out with what's the significance of this troop withdrawal, and what do you think this tells us about the future of the current stand off the

money the mission to be with you this morning? this is the long drawn out. you know, discussions oh, the conflict issues over the last 2 years, ever since the major problem and one of the blame this has finally led to the retreat of, you know, the closer to the previous position before, maybe 20 in the bank. but they may region as well as last spring region development and back to india for india and china. do i keep choosing the patient pollution and get to negotiate the table and dissolve the long drawn on the dish? there are some other areas of convention in plain most of

the things that have little but yet now you mentioned really this long drawn out process here. so what do you think lead to this breakthrough de escalation that we're seeing right now? where one has the forces fighting readiness for such a long time. be biased. had that i bought, i bought one tax but a lot by and both particularly the chinese but not willing to get back today already in a position in most of the negotiating discussions. but finally, they somewhat on because i think can be international blindness. similar, important for india and china to see how important these 2 are in getting together. they're wanting to address the larger problems in the interaction. and

therefore, the boundary issue must be dissolved and all in a meaningful manner. and the 1st step is to diffuse a situation by moving back alteration and forces to be framed location and then start talking about the voltage. yeah, now you mentioned the want to really put this dispute aside so that they can focus on much bigger issues that involve the entire world. really. we know that right now the leaders from both china and india are set to meet soon at the summit. so what can we get back from them at this meeting and you see them looking to build relations further? i think that will be given the, you know, the economic, global economy is big news phase over the last few months. and this will be, there will be a better part of the, the these 2 large economies that the need to actually look at are

bigger issues, then just the boundary. but the monday to me and the requirement is to diffuse a situation at the bound, started talking about getting their act together. and in the context, leave organizations make both patient organization and more importantly them. they are very, very important members of the brakes. and the big, i believe, as the biggest role in addressing the globally international of a shoes. and therefore, was the country have a very many huge responsibility being in the look at the larger picture in the interest of the bench. now speaking of the responsibility, we know that the united states is also trying to get involved here, given that the u. s. military is planning to hold mountain top drills with india in october in the himalayas along the south asian countries disputed border with china . could that set back the peace process that we're seeing right now?

well, yes, from a chinese post, but it can be an irritant. but let's look at some injustice by the end. yes. trying to balance ok. it's position without actually only taking any of the shot. but one particular site, the object is by that the work order as the russian business will be to be pointed out in a few announcements, they will order needs to become truly most people. and i believe the chinese look at it from that angle as well. i mean, nobody ever think that the one of the needs to call them and this is an issue that needs to be resolved or needs to be accepted, particularly by the best on site. and that context, india and you know, to engagement with the, with, will actually write home some of these messages to be with. and therefore it was

being gauged with. but the, the message to china should be that it's not going to be interfering. but in the china relationship, and that needs to be what across to them. now speaking of that interference, some claim that the joint military exercises are yet another friend for washington to provoke changing in the reagan. what's your take on when the american strategic announcements in the plans clearly defined in the china as long as it straight in the ship and they put their actions and their exercises and for level the site that tends to bring that kind of an element of it doesn't necessarily agree with all the we do the in the international book based on what element, particularly military the it's going to be and they will be going to be able to

engage with them. but the american position with respect to, you know, them. and i think a particular country thing at the country is that the mobile piece of it is their view and that is not shared by the didn't 40 minutes of the multiple to be the better chair by india. and therefore, i think india has a way of dealing with it even though some of the events may interfere. but india lays a lot of importance to the seal and the break. and therefore, i think they are far more important. that'd be better. yeah, it'll certainly be interesting to see what comes out of those upcoming exercises as well as that summit, air force marshall veteran and math as warren. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. thank you very much. on amazon, me see hope. many has sun during an interview with former new york times journalist

ben smith said that the news media should get rid of quote, both sides of major issues being discussed. there are 2 words we need to move from our media of a cavity right now, and that is both sides, this fundamental crutch, this reliance on both sides. is it kind of lazy way of covering political, deeply dangerous? there are a bunch of major issues in which there are not both sides or not both sides on climate change. there are not both sides on white supremacy. there are not both sides on democracy, but they're not both sides on the holocaust. however, not everyone agrees with the call for one sided coverage. here's a sample of some reactions on social media. while there's no risk of hearing both sides on m. s m, b, c. so he should feel right at home about there are 2 sides to every single story. but authoritarians of to census speech, especially when they're use a trash and saunter in the army. saudi is the only way to get people to accept them . being honest and fair is only deeply dangerous to those who are dishonest and

corrupt. the moments journalists become bible, they have stopped working for the people. legal and media analyst, lionel shared with us his view on the media covering just one side of the story. when you look at media, i, when you look at a lot of these various platforms that pick out the most, quote outrageous things that were said, they save us the time and the waste of time that we would have to go through in watching this dreck in the 1st place, so what, what it is is it's one insane thing after another the idea that you would have a television show or any type of journalistic platform designed to get to the truth or what is believed to be the truth. and you cut off the other side or the other, somebody who's maybe explaining your error. and then you say, this is good journalism because there are no 2 size. i will make 11 bit of a,

an exception. sometimes if i think if we were talking about, let's say, a scrawny me or a new planet or a black hole or something astrophysics related. and the other side presented was, let's say an astrologer. that might be the other side. i don't particularly care for. but in international conflicts. no, no, this is absurd. ah, if a local officials have their way, their residents of the dutch city of harlem will no longer be able to see meet advertisements in most public places in their city. as a city official has voted to ban it to 124 over climate wos, however, following the green policy in this fear hasn't stopped the government of the netherlands from lifting a cap on energy production by coal fired power plants at the same time. r c

contributor rachel marsden brings us more details on this story. in the interests of fighting climate change, the dutch city of harlem has voted to ban all meat advertising beginning in 2024. i'm surprisingly, this is music to the ears of green activists who want to dictate how everyone lives their daily lives. whilst any environmental benefits cannot be expected immediately from an advertising ban, it sends out a clear message to the food industry that harlem wants the industry to invest in more climate friendly food. we also hope that other cities in the netherlands will follow the example of harlem and introduce similar ban. what exactly is quote, climate friendly food, please tell me that it's not a euphemism for eating bugs because that's being pushed pretty hard in the western mainstream media. but if benefits, quote can't be expected immediately for this policy and it's mainly just symbolic

virtue signaling. then why bother at all with it, particularly in the netherlands, which is europe's biggest ne provider. and we're an estimated 95 percent of citizens eat meat. why not just leave people alone to live their lives and eat their stake while the greenies can eat all the bugs that they want to? if that's what they seriously think is going to control the temperature of the entire planet. the fact that they even think that shows what kind of control freaks they really are. what's next? yanking advertising for vacations, for cars and for consumer electronics or for anything else that has a so called carbon footprint. as you might imagine, some dutch folks are pretty upset. the authorities are going too far in telling people what's best for them. banning commercials from politically born motives is almost dick tutorial. it's an unacceptable violation of entrepreneurial freedom. the netherlands isn't the 1st place to try to cater to the greenies and fail of he can restaurant in britain called the mango tree,

had to start serving meet just to keep afloat. some of its ideologically rigid customers, said that serving meet would be worse than having to close. clearly they aren't the ones having to pay the bills. the operators of an award winning cafe called the kitchen at london house on the isle of wight were so fed up with being bullied by v customers for not offering enough choices for their v in means that the operators ditched plant base pair altogether. you see if you give bri militants an inch, they'll soon one mile. dutch farmers spent the summer protesting against top down european rules that could result in farm closures over excessive cadel emissions. ah. in this week, the agriculture minister in the netherlands resigned after just 9 months on the job

saying that, well, he just wasn't the right guy for the task. but what's with dutch public officials peddling all this green extremism. when the dutch government itself has just revived pull power plants in response to ease sanctions on its own energy supply, the cabinet has decided to immediately withdrawal the restriction on production for coal fired power stations from 2002 to 2024. our country had prepared this decision with our european colleagues over the past few days. talk about the height of hypocrisy. this energy minister is the same guy who brag on twitter in 2019 of heading quote, to walk an era with less cool and more solar and wind energy, all while posing in front of a cold plant whose closure he was celebrating. another firing it all back up again . these greens just love to tell people how to live with their insufferable and pre she behavior and policies. but they're emotionally driven policies are clearly not

successful. and they're certainly not consistent ones. and why should anyone be obligated to give up a long standing family farm or their way of life in order to cater to someone else's whim? un secretary general antonio gutierrez, has called for quote, massive global support for pakistan were devastating. floods have effected around 33000000 people and claimed more than 1300 lives. i q son needs massive financial support to respond to this crisis. depth support is entirely necessary and it is not the method of solving that it's, it's a method of justice. his remarks came as he arrived in his lama bad to see the devastation in the south asian country. he said the floods have caused nearly $30000000000.00 worth of damage. the u. n. has launched an appeal to raise

$160000000.00 to aid pakistan, but the countries prime minister stressed the need for an infinite amount of funding. meanwhile, and number of countries have begun to provide support with more than 50 humanitarian flights. having already landed in the country here, some reaction from locals on the international aid this coming in. but the bellagio silica many people were killed and became homeless and our economy has been destroyed. they must reconsider our needs because how people are so poor and they are worried about their future. again, why would they that you by the amount the you and has announced as aid for pakistan's flood victims is just peanuts compared to the u. s. 8 of billions of dollars for ukraine winds 1000000000 nowadays. senior staff reporter at the news, international newspaper and pakistan mates ab, i dar says that the response so far is falling short of what is needed. it is

a human did in crisis. did. is it still a possibility of food shortages? the un flagship been at so far, and no $160000000.00 only. it's just the phoenix. there are 2 elements which i want to highlight. one is donors pretty. that is the major issue. but the more important thing is the double standard, because vent pakistan muster standing on the right side of the registers after 911 and then the upgrade occurred in 2005. and then the flyer, a 2010 vents focused on was the ally of the united states. there was generous inflows from all 9 dielectric donors, but after the 911 and the things have not changed after the withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan, not be i'd, they are least interested in bogus thought. and it's being shown that pakistan has

been isolated up august on has been standing and crying for the foreign name. but so far, the more attention is to have ukraine. so the, so far the word response is very bleak and disappointing. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for the latest news and updates and we'll see you again. right back here at the top of the next hour. mm. ah ah ah ah,
