on the ground is get more and more tense and violent in the ukraine conflict, russian forces had been pressing for control of this strategically important city of ogle adar, and the don yeah. region. this unverified drone footage purports to show the aftermath of heavy fighting between ukrainian and russian troops as moscow's forces make their advance into the city r t roman cost or have sent us this report from the front line. we are on the outskirts of the city hall over the door. we are with the forces of the next republic, sir. interior and ben is free. we 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 glitter 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, often as 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 movement, where the korean army will be encircled. meanwhile, russian defense ministry have also reported that the roads leading out of google ads are towards ukraine are now also completely blocked. she thought the situation is stable. we are a storm in the city trying to clear the enemy from a bladder. people are waiting for us there and a constantly calling this year. we have learned to identify all nate or 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 in a 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 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's a growing clothing that ukrainian military left answer these trenches or maybe about a kilometer away from oak lazar 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 religion will and successfully for them very soon from one quarter of hearty dentist republic, violent protests have erupt. it in the us, after authorities released body chem footage of police officers fatally beating a man during a traffic stop in the south eastern city of memphis, crowds took to the streets of new york city to express or outrage. the incident has

stirred up some more anti police sentiments in the country following a series of high profile killings by officers in recent years. the 29 year old memphis man was reportedly being detained for reckless driving. he died in a hospital a few days later. another reported police killing in the southeastern 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 shocks fired ah, r t has heard from the head of a private u. s. military company, mozart group about its operations in ukraine. he denied allegations of being directly involved in fighting against russian forces. he also took issue at an earlier interview with another news outlet saying it was taken out of context.

the interview was, as you know, it was the car. it was taken out of context, my voice and i watched it. i watch the interview on it. was it was produced by a guy named max blumenthal. yes, i'm get, let me, let me get points that i that i said, yes. specifically, ukraine. what i all i said was saying yes, ukraine 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 voted my feet, my lines. 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 max blumenthal, editor grades on said whether it was a whiskey talking around the middle. but to learn the video i posted provides

a clear and accurate depiction of his comments on the corruption grain in society, sick leadership, and the propensity of its military to commit in videotape battlefield atrocities for its own sake. nobody chasing the crane a gravy train and get back on the wagon. i don't know. i mean, they don't like so huh. yeah, you're reading from, you know, blacksmith or say agree some lose background. all right. i mean, he is a, it doesn't matter. all right, so the point is, why did he also that video? why did he, what i say with contest on? yeah, i, sam behind a, you know, i love, i love you. trainees. i'm here. i'm risking my life. you can keep trying maximum and i me, he's, you know, but i, i've, i've, so it was my c no, no, and i was with that ukrainians have no problem with that video because because they know the nature of russian just information and that it 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 a democracy. alright. ukraine is a democracy. united states is marci. there was our route founder previously raised allegations about corruption and ukraine, and spoke out about ukrainian forces, allegedly abusing capture russian soldiers during a supper 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 no big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. when all like, i happen to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not. oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no, cuz it's i understand that funny people running ukraine ukrainians

are in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with her p o w s. is filing laura dawn, laura vom conflict. we also got a chance to speak with journalist max blumenthal, the mozart group director andrew milburn has accused him of having taken those comments in the previous video out of context. but blumenthal laid out what he sees as 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 were 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 most our group is a private military company that has said it is training ukrainian soldiers rescuing civilians and distributing humanitarian aid. it's members say they haven't been involved in actual fighting on the front line. recently, the mozart 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 melbourne, 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 late in 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, any 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 ukraine's ambassador to australia once the father of serbian tenants star know that choke of ich, to be banned from attending a prestigious tournament. after he was seen with fans holding a russian flag in this video, the father, sir john joke of ich was in melbourne, australia and can be heard sending his greetings to moscow, serbia and russia have traditionally close relations. he explained he meant no harm by simply taken photos with fans and celebrating his son's achievements at the australian open. novak joke of which has said media outlets misinterpreted his father's words. the father also said he would watch his son's remaining matches from home. that's afternoon, that joke of ich, what a recent semi final against u. s. player tommy paul. another scandal at the tournament though apparently did

not make headlines. russian player andre rude blood was insulted by ukrainian fans during his match with a finnish opponent, a pair of spectators holding a ukrainian flag, provoked the russian player with offensive language ru blood pointed out the incident to a referee, saying that it was the insults, not the flag itself, which had accepted russian and bella region flags have been officially banned from the tournament after the ukraine ambassador to australia voiced his concerns. the odd way was outraged by a display of a russian flag at a ukrainian players match the russian embassy in australia called the decision unacceptable. politicizing of sports, sports columnists, and lou allen more says that discrimination against athletes is being government driven. there are people who have interest, who are desperate for attention with this notion angle,

or to stay in desperate. so sports is always been sports always be like this. all we can do is say no. the star again, this is go home with my father a player. so there are no i'm sorry, you have a daughter who's a, who knows no job which i'm from ukraine serving in the army. so he would say, you know, his boss game is on this same person who is very happy to poll is like people who are still on there. so it's like, i'm sorry, between a rush, right? like with their say, you know, there's, there's a bit of a difference. i r t began special coverage of 20 years since the u. s. occupation of iraq,

which has left an estimated $180000.00 civilians dead throughout the coming months . r t will examine the devastation that the war has had on the once oil rich country and the destabilization. it costs 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 awe with food and sleep.

with back in january of 2003, then you as president george w bush outline the basis for the subsequent invasion of iraq in his state of the union address. the speech entirely focused on iraq with bush calling the iraqi leader, saddam hussein, a quote, 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. something the u. s. was supposedly already doing in afghanistan, kate of iraq is not disarming. to the contrary. he 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 and special sites and

monitoring the inspectors himself. if saddam shane does not fully disarm for the safety of our people and for the peace of 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 appear to have been a quote. path of lies the cia hub weapons inspector in iraq. close the investigation, finding nothing in 2005, 2 years after the invasion, the u. s. warner rack 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 days, u. s. forces invaded iraq from kuwait in the south,

and that was despite months of massive anti war protests world wide. 3 weeks into the invasion, baghdad fell the years of invasion and the subsequent rise of the conflict was not ash, have taken a grim, tall on a rock and its people. there were at least 180000 documented civilian deaths in the country, while a number of household surveys as to make the actual figure to be closer to 1000000, most iraqis died from ariel bombings, shelling and suicide attacks. over 9000000 people either fled the country or were left internally displaced. the us led coalition lost almost 5000 of its own soldiers. the war also left many iraqis of different generations struggling to live with memories of loss and suffering. some of them shared their stories with us. oh michelle,

at either 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 i live became a live in health because as a child you were supposed to see beautiful things. but we so bullets tanks and kind of terror humanity, children, and society as a whole. there was nothing but war. ah, oh don't, most 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 in the town with his friends, and they sat to eat and they were an american bass. he was shot in the head by the americans. he died on the spot. oh, 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 could can guess. they thought he was a suicide bomber and kill him or love, hear the crab, quit somebody. these are very difficult memories for me. a mortar shall fell at the door of our house and killed one of my playmates. ah, no sucking about that want police to live in bagdad. our dreams were shattered. we wished to complete our studies that we cannot because of the war and the killings in the streets. we had to leave our homes and go to not a place, a letter in the book, the book that's out 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. a. 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. let got it. what do you want? what do you remember my 1st day at the kindergarten? the 1st day 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, i will. you will. you may say to me, your childhood was stolen and i didn't have a child food. i spend in the month war and terrorist organizations such as anti 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, ha ha ha ha! though my cousin, my brother in law, unfortunately the americans did not till till the promise he ho to rock because of your last my loved ones. you hold as

a lot. i wouldn't areas him with the had that 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 here. stop destroying, self control, the national resources, let the rocky people live in peace. 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 build up of one of america's longest wars. and it's devastating legacy. ah ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with move. mm hm.
