something that should be there for any refugee. there are many people criticizing their country that have been more open to you crate and refugees and syrian refugees because they are white. what do you make of this situation? and another another historical point. if i may be a historical point, and this is kind of a footnote the history, it's not something that's extremely famous. but in world war 2, there were several 1000 polish refugees who took refuge. any run of the story is always intrigued to me because i don't know how they got from point a to point b, or really how many there were. but it was uh, it was a sizable number. and they were welcomed with open arms as far as the story goes, any ron? and then after the war they returned to poland. again, the details escaped me and it's a, it's a fascinating story. but it can show that in, in the reverse, at least in that one occasion, they were provided refuge refuge. do you think these refugees will ever return to

their home country, or do they look like a permanent migration, as well and not known? i would, i would point to the vietnamese in the united states. so in 1975, there was this title wave of vietnamese refugees fleeing south east asia. so they weren't just feeding amazing, advertise cambodians, lotions, etc. and this, this tidal wave of southeast asians ended up in the us primarily in california. but not only, and i grew up in new orleans. and a lot of those vietnamese ended up in southern louisiana. which in a way was logical because they're going from a catholic society to a catholic society. and a lot of them were south vietnamese who were catholic and they were going from a fishing society to a fishing society. and back in the 1970s. again, i was a child back then, but i distinctly remember that there were like fist fights between cajun fishermen

in vietnamese fishermen. and i distinctly remember that the v in the me is held all the low wage jobs in the supermarkets and gas stations in the mid seventies. now you fast forward 50 years later. and the representative from new orleans east, which is where most of the v means live is a v. it. and it means american and they've added things to new orleans culture. that's very positive. for example, i don't know if anyone in the, in the, in the audience is familiar with king cakes. but it's a big thing in new orleans around marnie garad, i have a king cake, which is a type of pastry with a baby in the middle. well, when i was growing up, the king kicks were in edible. there was this company called mackenzie's that would make it and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. it was terrible, always stale, just awful. well the v and the means of reinvented the king cake. and in new orleans now the best king kick in the entire city comes out of

a vietnamese bakery and new orleans each. and that community is variety and their reinventing even nor one's culture. and after katrina, that community was devastated by katrina, i mean totally leveled and they were back within a year because they helped each other get through that at the destruction financially. they helped each other and they're still striving that as an example of what can happen on a positive level, with even a refugee population. just wait, continue to have your education, let them work, an honest job. 50 years later, everything's much, much better. thank you so much, professor for all your time today. and there are very few winters when it comes to global catastrophes that involves so many displaced people. while the refugees are the biggest losers who have lost everything, their homes, their way of life, their country, the neighboring countries,

are also feeling the effects as well. having to receive millions of refugees. many people feel over whelmed by the numbers and see people moving across the borders. but the people are not the problem here. rather, the causes that drive families and individuals to cross borders is the real problem . whether that be war persecution, human rights violations, or any other crisis. hosting refugees is just a short sighted solution and unrealistic, that is unsustainable in the long run. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything the

the i really thought that we were going to die. i crawled all the way to the right. and then i hid behind the 2 years before i was even born and this has happened to continue to stick with the system. basically we want to make sure that certain regular civilians shouldn't be in the hands. those people who are in st. that's for sake nowhere the sorry who, what else seemed wrong. just don't

you have to shape out the application and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look so common ground the the, the headlines on off you international as 100. so if you crazy and soldiers are killed and dozens of times destroyed as key of the counter offensive is ultimately repelled by russian forces. it's all according to the russian federation. of defense, the, as we have done to palestinian, john listened to a 100 dozens injured by the soldiers in past years that

a rocketed following in his ready rate on the policy being in the city over a month. and a bit of a cold shoulder, perhaps ukraine's president davinsky is not invited to attend the g 20 this year as confirmed by g. 20 host into the the right hunting down your news. 247 and spanning the world from moscow. it's great to have you with us for this now as broad cost or not to you. some more than $300.00 ukrainian soldiers have been killed and i'm much hyped counter offensive and those that orgy area, it's according to ruptures. defense minister, a sort of a showing you've said that $1500.00 men, thousands of tanks attempted in vain to attack the russian position. the commander of russia's forces. i do crating and troops were beaten at the starting positions. but the enemy attempted to go on the offensive were done,

but they were exposed by the forces of military intelligence in time and were bombed by our aircraft at their starting positions. as soon as they reached the mine fields for enemy tanks were blown up by the mines, further or taylor, we suppress the enemy's rank from their firing positions and electronic warfare units or press the enemy's communication system. having suffered losses, the enemy refused to advance further and with video, but on we have just returned from this apparel here region and it is believed to be the main direction for the counter offensive of the ukrainian forces. the night has been very heated. as with them then, as we've talked to the soldiers who are well acting, who are fighting on that section of the front at around midnight, the crate and forces they've attempted to breach of russia's defense is just outside the small town of audio, which is not the 1st attempt that they're taking there on that particular section of the front, but it is certainly well other attempts they pale in comparison when it comes to

the money to that the ukranian army has thrown into the me grind is over that and well, so far they have failed to show anything for me too early and you're up to 3 and it'd be tanked units were moving in for directions. the enemy did not even reach the combat collision line in 2 places. we have been preparing for this counter offensive for a long time. and we were afraid that the enemy would prepare even more so far. we see unreasonable actions, because if they continue to lose up to 3 units in one attack, then we will reduce them to adams within one months because the equipment and people will run out. we have strength in the defensive front line enough. you would need to be crazy to make a frontal attack there. we do know that since midnight, till 5, about 5 o'clock in the morning, the russian jets russian bomb is and artillery. they have been burning. the advancing ukrainian columns binding its tanks, burning its almost vehicles on the well killing pass. and now so foss the fights

those who over that they are describing me the scale of loss is of the ukrainian army as quote unquote co law. so uh, at the same time, the russian soldiers that they are standing strong, they silver have not given any important positions to the front as well, is very stable over there. at the same time, they're telling me that at least one ukrainian battalion that's hundreds of people, at least up to 800 of men. they openly sabotaged orders. that's according to the information that they got from the radio chapter that they intercepted. they sabotaged orders to advance to stop the offensive and well, they simply declined to advance. again, that's hundreds of men and dozens of uh, items of ahmed vehicles and the tanks and kind of speak. so lots about the and says a lot about the marolla view craney and forces of that i'll throw in again into the mead grind as well on that part of the front. again,

it is not right to say that everything has come to an end over the, the intensity of the phasing it has subsided significantly, but the firefights are still ongoing on the tillery, on the ation. jets are still very busy. so you're creating a tax on russian positions having repel. but now t f is dismissing claims that have begun. it's long, the way to counter offensive against russia of the major western media outlets said precisely that is all correspondent in new york. earlier in response to events, we heard us media jubilant, celebrating yes, the great town or a friend zuba has big gun. this is the beginning of the great victory of ukraine, etc. they beat the drums, they sounded the trumpets, it was all this trial input, noise. but now we have reuters coming forward with the information presented by a representative of the granting and general staff saying that no such offensive

seems to be under way. they don't have this information. so the jubilant noise of western media seems to put the ukrainian stay in an awkward position as mainstream us media and its allies around the world was just playing up this, this trial but offensive. but they were going to have now. now if you grant is sal, is saying that that's not the case that this, this offensive didn't happen. let's see how things play out militarily. but that the moment it seems like the, the noise from us media that was intended to celebrate great victories coming up for ukraine. now it seems to a kind of backfired at the moment. and ukraine is perhaps put in an awkward position to civilians, including a pregnant woman, was killed by ukrainian shouting and rushes out of song region that attack on a flooded evacuation area for rescue civilians also wanted to others. i don't boss corresponding to steve sweeney has more details. the attack took place on thursday

is on this time so we can only believe that this was designed for maximum impact. some 23 book is written down on the city, atlanta in the marketplace, but also destroyed and damaging residential buildings, a cultural products and a local technical school. i'm also having these reports for me because on a region where the acting governor that has said that 2 people have been killed, one of them, a pregnant woman in an attack on the evacuation point. and he described this as a deliberate attack on the innocent civilians that were also having use from the co, the power station that there's been the cranes have target to the conversation, the whole thing, a full res 5. and of course, this is leading many people to also, when will this nightmare come to an end? and i staying with the via huff got hydro electric pond to west and media laughed

out very quickly at russia, facing blame for the damned destruction directly on moscow. the kremlin dispute of those claims immediately accusing kia both the attack now as flooding intensifies and the territories are western media and reporting on reactions from ukraine and officials, though badly, even touching upon russia's position. and it's evidence that the key of has been attempting strikes at that time. some offloads suggesting the threat of a nuclear disaster. and the europe's biggest nuclear power plant ends up at audrey is a potential target. the criticism of the west narrative has surface to among it a problem. for example, radio talk show host and political analysts have gone to nixon in this tweet. ukrainians were working on blowing up the damn boom. the dam blows up, wester, media, g. i wonder who blew up the damn must have been the russians. it will that politically well push the narrative even further saying that quote, the world blames the russian president for destroying the dan, but no, by

a whole sky. but africa base political analyst at jackie schon do, has a slightly different take on may jury polled a little product test if one choosing a basic on cnn or sky news. false one is certain in terms of what they are going to hear, what kind of m o d they going to get and what kind of perspective they're going to get. especially when the train russian conflict is the one that's being discussed and it's been very consistent that has not to be a crate of impartiality and we'll get to the t s. they have chosen aside from the very beginning. and yeah, it's the story and the sticking to it, the rest of the world seems to be a very different approach to this conflict. and so that is why know the e u and u. s. opinion somehow is projected, as global opinion,

like says or not. also thought to how the g 7 members, for example, conceive or for international affairs and, and to look on it cannot be that what you to get over to us say what is then the propagate. it is what the west seats. i mean i can speak.
