these rows, new government hold ready cold. the most thought right in the country's history, we see that the situation on the ground is getting more and more tense and violent in the ukraine conflict. russian forces have been pressing for control of the strategically important city of google adar and the don yes, region. this unverified drone footage purports to show the aftermath of heavy fighting between ukrainian and russian troops as moscow's forces make 3rd vans into the city. our teeth, roman coast, i have sent us this report from the front line. we are on the outskirts of the city hall, open the door. we are with the forces of the next republic, sir, interior. and ben, his free will try and get as close to guitar as possible. fighting there continues, as russian forces have already gain control over the

nearby town. next to gladder, the city of lazar is arrived behind me and can probably, i see it's a heavy fighting continues right now, as we speak at the moment sir. there are 2 formations here. one is of the internal ministry of the new republic and the other are the marines of russia's pacific fleet. now, the forces at the moment are in the suburbs of lazar. there's no street fighting, taking place right now. the plan is, according to my sources, is to execute a so called pincer movements where the korean army will be encircled. meanwhile, russian defense ministry have also reported that the roads leading out of google adore towards ukraine are now also completely blocked. sheila, the situation is stable. we are a storm in the city trying to clear the enemy from a glass door. people are waiting for us there and

a constantly calling this year. we have learned to identify all nater techniques, so they no longer work at the command has already changed tactics. a little drawing conclusions from previous battles. and i repeat once again that we know all the native techniques so off to resist no little. they will start to surrender and mass commander of the 3rd platoon is showing me the trenches that they have just taken over from ukrainian military. hon. take a look. this is a it looks like one of the flags of ukrainian regiments, 30341 o 2. now i'm not sure what this means, but so there's lot of ammunition here as well. there is a broad clothing that ukrainian military left and these trenches, or maybe about a kilometer hawaii from google is, are,

were intense. fighting continues as we speak. intense fighting continues here on the outskirts of lazar. now we just raised a drone in order to film a little bit closer to the city to find out what's going on within the city limits . however, we lost our drone according to the military, here it was intercepted by ukraine. so right now, we are leaving this area according to the soldiers that i spoke with. they're hoping that the battle for lazar will end successfully for them very soon from one quarter of hearty dentist republic. violent protests have wrapped it in the us after authorities released body can footage of police officers fatally beating. a man during

a traffic stop in the southeastern city of memphis. crowds took to the streets of the biggest city, new york to express or outrage. he incident has stirred up anti police sentiments in the country following a series of high profile killings by officers in recent years, the 29 year old man in memphis was reportedly being detained for reckless driving. he died a few days later in a hospital. another reported police killing in the south eastern city of atlanta, also sparked a major demonstration that's after an environmental activist was allegedly killed by officers during a rate of a protest camp outside a law enforcement facility. police said they were responding to shots fired the r t has heard from the head of a private u. s. military company about its operations in ukraine. in an exclusive interview, the head of the mozart group denied allegations as being directly involved in

finance. russian forces. he said his organization is only providing training for you, creating soldiers and humanitarian aid for civilians. the interview was, you know, it was the car, it was taken out of context, my voice and i watched it. i watched the interview on, you know, was it was produced by a guy named max blumenthal. yes, i'm good. let me, let me get the points that i that i said, yes. specifically, ukraine, what i all i said was saying, yes you cream has in the past had a, had a problem with corruption. that is undeniable. all right. and so me, prisoners of all is a violation of the geneva convention. my point is that if you are going to have the moral high ground and you're going to say, and i'm here, listen, i don't get my feet in my life. so you challenge anyone to say, oh, you know, support you crime. a convention i, every day i just, every,

we're going to the end i should just, i was actually watching the video you, you guys put up my flu until the editor grays and said whether it was a whiskey talking randy milburn to learn the video. i posted, provides a clear and accurate depiction of his comments on the corruption of the great society, sick leadership, and the propensity of its military to commit in videotape battlefield atrocities for its own sake. nobody chasing the ukraine, a gravy train and get back on the wagon. i don't know. i mean, they don't like, oh yeah, you're reading from you know, blacksmith or say agree from look at his background. all right, i mean, he is a, it doesn't matter. all right, the point is why did he also that video? why did he, what i say with contest on? yeah, i stand behind a, you know, i love, i love you. trainees. i'm here. i'm risking my life. you can keep trying maximum is all i me he's, you know, but i, i've, i've, so it was my see no one i was for that ukrainians have no problem with that video because because they know the nature of russian disinformation and that, and,

and so you know, but the point is, you don't support a side by simply spouting propaganda. you've got to be honest and the same with united states. you just talk to me about what i write in my book, where i criticize my own administration, my country's administration. this is the healthy aspect of it. democracy. alright. ukraine is a democracy. united states is marci the mas, our group founder, previously raised allegations about corruption and ukraine, and spoke out about ukrainian forces, allegedly abusing capture aggression, soldiers. that was during a separate interview on the team house podcast, where he shared his experience of working in ukraine. it's a corrupt of society. the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god,

ukraine. so awesome. no, because it's i understand that's plenty of people running ukraine. need cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is fine, the laura don laura bomb conflict. we also get a chance to speak with journalists, max blumenthal, who publish that interview. he laid out the main issues. i don't know what could have been manipulated or taken out of context there. and as i said, i included a link to the full discussion which includes many more unguarded and incriminating comments that andy milburn made under the obvious, clear influence of the truth, serum known as whiskey and retired colonel andy milburn was speaking to an american channel. and his comments or publicized on twitter by an american journalist,

the person you see right here. and it was, they were viewed by a 1000000 people, mostly people in the west, outside russia, and scrutinized by them. and those comments were conveyed accurately, clearly, and without manipulation or distortion. what's more, i linked to the complete conversation he had with 2 american interviewers. so for him to call it russian propaganda must mean, maybe he's referring to a brand of whiskey called russian propaganda. although i think he was getting intoxicated off buffalo trace and left roy act the reason andy milburn is so reluctant to acknowledge that he said what he in fact did. and what i publicized before a twitter audience in a video that now has close to 1000000 views, is because it affects his paycheck. he's relying on the ukranian state and the ukranian military to provide him with lucrative contracts. and when they hear him

say that for him, it's not about ukraine, because this is a sick society that he doesn't truly believe in ukraine. that he thinks that its soldiers are actually war criminals. they will no longer want to work with him. and so this is costing andy milburn business and war is a business for andy milburn and many other people in ukraine. the mozart group is a private military company that has said it is training ukrainian soldiers rescuing civilians and distributing humanitarian aid. its members say they haven't been involved in actual fighting on the front line. recently, the most our group c, e o denied claim that the company is looking to expand its presence in conflict areas. however, journalists, max blumenthal again says, the mozart group consists of mercenaries, the problem here for andy milburn is that he offended his so called ukrainian partners, the people that he needs to justify his contracts and his paycheck. and that is why

the mozart group of andy milburn pumped out a false hood laden absurd, almost insane twitter thread in ukrainian attacking me as a russian asset. i consider it unhealthy for the mozart group, which consists of armed mercenaries, including criminal class thugs, who are recruited from the most violent elements of societies around the world, from israel to ukraine. to be pumping out lies about me on their twitter page in ukrainian for ukrainian audience. and he melbourne's mozart group falsely accused me of producing a deep fake video. when i conveyed his comments clearly with no manipulation, i strongly suggest that andy milburn stop chasing the grazing the gravy train of ukraine aid and get back on the wagon for his own sake and for the sake of humanity

because enough people have died. so that mercenary sociopath, like andy milburn, can make a profit are t begins special coverage of 20 years of the u. s. occupation in iraq, which has left an estimated 180000 civilians dead. throughout the coming months, archie examines the devastation that the war has had on a once oil rich country and the destabilization it caused throughout the middle east. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people, and to defend the world from great danger whose

dreams, food, and sleep. with that back in january of 2003, the u. s. president george w bush outlined the basis for the subsequent invasion of iraq in his state of the union address. the speech entirely focused on iraq as bush has called iraqi leader, saddam hussein, quote, a brutal dictator with ties to terrorism. posing a direct threat to the united states he pledged to disarm hussein and bring freedom to the iraqi people. as the u. s. was already supposedly doing and afghanistan it, kate, of iraq, is not disarming. to the contrary. is deceiving from

intelligence sources. we know, for instance, that thousands of iraqi security personnel are in work hiding documents and materials from the un inspectors sanitizing inspection sites and monitoring the inspectors themselves. if saddam hussein does not fully disarm for the safety of our people and for the patient the world, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. later it turned out that hussein had not ramped up his nuclear weapons program and what triggered the american invasion and subsequent occupation of iraq could have been a hoax. the c, i a's top weapons inspector in iraq. close an investigation, finding nothing in 2005, 2 years after the invasion. the u. s. warren iraq began on the 19th of march 2003. when the u. s. joined by its allies launched operation iraqi freedom. the coalition

started a bombing campaign directed against the iraqi government and military installations . within the next days, us forces invaded iraq from kuwait in the south. and that's all despite months of massive anti war protest world wide. 3 weeks into the invasion, baghdad fell the years of the invasion and the following. rise of the conflict with dash, have taken a grim toll on iraq and its people. there were at least 180000 documented civilian deaths in the country, while a number of household surveys estimate the actual figure at as many as 1000000. most of the iraqis died from area bombing shelling and suicide attacks. over 9000000 people either fled the country or were left internally displaced. the us led coalition last almost 5000 of its soldiers. the war has also left many iraqis

of different generations struggling to live with memories of loss and suffering. some of them have shared their stories with us. oh michelle at the streets were packed with barriers and tunnels. i remember it. well . baghdad became a battlefield tanks and security forces of all kinds of been deployed there. oh wow . i out now. so. yeah, they are live, became a live in health because as a child you were supposed to see beautiful things, but we so bullets tags and kind of tear for humanity, children and society as a whole. there was nothing but war. ah, oh, host of the families lost members and i lost one of my brothers because of the bomb banks. the americans were killing everything in front of them. i know that and it, one of my sons wanted to celebrate his success with his studies. so my wife gave

him money to buy some junk food and eat out with his friends, and they sat to eat and they were an american base. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot of all my friends were killed by the explosion at that time. my neighbor was killed by the americans, but he was going to buy a kenneth cook and guess they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him or love, hear the crowd quesada. these are very difficult memories for me. a mortar shall fell at the door of our house and killed one of my playmates. ah! nothing about the police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we could not because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to the north a

with while. i mentioned that, but i do with up the top we were in baghdad. we stayed at home and closed the windows, covered them with blankets. we were afraid of a chemical bombardment. we saw america come to us. they told us that a rock would become a paradise. they published news about how they were distributing food, but those were all false dreams. and only after i turned 14 years old, was i able to leave the house with my friends before that i couldn't even think about it. i was afraid something would happen outside. and even now i don't want to leave without telling my family where i'm going. mm mm. let got it. what do you want? what do you remember my 1st day of the kindergarten? the thursday i told the mattress cold, the textbooks shall picture the summer for my regime, but they took them away and gave us new different books. i'll now forget the coal

sop of a bullet. the sound of an explosion. even just a smoke, an american soldier, a life full of blood. i know many showing jo avoid. the americans arrested my father. he did not belong to any party. he was working at the market. he was kept in prison until 2018. i didn't have a chance to know my father. after he was released, his health deteriorated, but took him to germany for treatment. but up to 4 surgeries, he died. ah, ah, will you though you may say to me, your childhood was stolen and i didn't have a child food. i spend and among war and terrorist organizations, such as on k that among slaughter, americans bombing that kinda and kinda bowman americans. when we went to school, i used to walk along the wolf, so as not to be shot and killed. ah,

the last half fellow smith, idaho, my cousin, my brother in law. unfortunately, the americans did not fulfill the promise. you hold a rock because of the i lost my loved ones, you hold as a lot. i them with the united states. you destroyed iraq. you, we can national sovereignty. and over 20 years you fail to manage a rock. i wouldn't cover that. me stop destroying, stop control, the national resources, let the rocky people leave in peace are these are just some of the stories and voices from that conflict. we will bring you more throughout the next 2 months in our special coverage of the devastating legacy of one of america's longest wars. ah
