the, the easy to forget things that you're not involved. not, you are involving this. we're all come right guys. you are. we are of course. so who's safe in this room? no one can get shot. you and you keep trying to get shot. unless you do something the, [000:00:00;00]

the public key and everyone's a creative watching for everybody watching your people up there which you everybody's really a, nobody's trying to share with you. our lead is on there as and i think that needs some services and certainly why they frame what the 5 chairs, kids on the fergus, it just been on the status that color like a eric everybody's falling with people loving times more than kids and they say the reason is to protect the freedom, but we don't believe them. the the,

the, [000:00:00;00] the, the headlines on off the international that's hung through to be crazy and soldiers are killed and dozens of times destroyed as key of the counter offensive. it is ultimately repelled by russian sensitive soul, according to the russian federation of defense, the we have

done to palestinian john, let's turn on the dozens enjoyed by idea of soldiers pastors that a rough estate following in his ready rate on the palace being in the city of what i'm not a bit of a cold shoulder perhaps, as you cranes president the wednesday is not invited to attend the g 20 this year as confirmed by g. 20 host into the the it's all right, hunting down your news. 247, and spanning the world from moscow. it's great to have you with us for this. how it's broadcast or not to you. and some more than 300 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 show i could have said that 1500 man. then 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 position. but the enemy attempted to go on the offensive, 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 we've been yeah, but on we have just returned from his apparel here range and it is believed to be the main direction for the counter offensive of the ukrainian forces. the night has been very heated, as we filmed, and as we've talked to the soldiers who are well acting, who are fighting on that section of the front at around midnight. a do you crate in forces they've attempted to breach of russia's defense is just outside the small town of idaho, 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 be tank units were moving in for directions. the enemy did not even reach the combat collision line and 2 places. we have been preparing for his 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 month because the equipment and people will run out. we have strength in the defensive front line and nothing you would need to be crazy to make a frontal attack there. we do know that since midnight til 5, about 5 o'clock in the morning, the russian jets russian bomb is and artillery. they have been burning the advance

and ukrainian columns binding its tanks, burning its almost vehicles under oil, killing a pass. and now so far, the fights as who over that they are describing me. the scale of loss is of the ukraine. you know me 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 as 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 chat to have it they intercepted, they sabotaged orders to advance to start 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 kinda speak. so lots about the and says

a lot to about the morale of ukrainian forces that uh, thrown again into the mead grind as well on that's part of the front. again, it is not right to say that everything has come to an end over the, the intensity of the fighting. it has subsided significantly, but the firefights are still ongoing, and the tillery on the ation jets are still very busy. so ukraine attacks on russian positions having repel, but now t f is dismissing claims that have had big gun nets along 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 counter offensive 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 that 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 have put the ukranian state in an awkward position as main stream us media and its allies around the world was just playing up this, this triumph but offensive. but they were going to have now, now if you crane is sal, is saying that that's not the case that, that this offensive didn't happen. let's see how things play out militarily. but that the moment it seems like 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 while that to civilians, including a pregnant woman, was killed by ukrainian shouting and rushes out of song region. that attack on

a flood 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. it's written down on the city, atlanta in the marketplace, but also destroying and damaging residential buildings, a cultural policy, and a local technical school. i'm also having these reports from the parents 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 it of occupation, a points. 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 a, the premiums have to get to the conversation that causing a full res 5. and of course, this is leading many people to also,

when would this nightmare come to an end? and i staying with a nevada, i can help go hydro electric pond to western media, laughed out very quickly at russia, facing blame for them. destruction directly on most scope with the criminal dispute . of those claims, immediately accusing kia fall the attack. now, as flooding intensifies and the territories are western media are being 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 offload. so it's addressing the trend of a nuclear disaster and the europe's biggest nuclear power prod his apology 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 dam. boom. the dam blows up, wester, media, g. i wonder who blew up the dam 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 dad, but no by a couple of guy. but i forgot based political analyst at jackie, sean do has a slightly different take on that major report of progress. 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 concept is the one that's being just cost and it's been very consistent that has not been a crane, often push it to 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 no, the e u and u. s. opinion, somehow is projected as to opinion united states or not. also thought to how the g 7 members for example, conceived or for international affairs and, and to look on it cannot be that what it would be you together with the us say what is then the propagated is what the west feeds. i mean, i can speak quite confidently, for example, in terms of where most of africa stands stand russian. a couple of american journalists took on the us state department spokesman of his recently comments on rosters and provoked war in ukraine. the online footage, released by gray zone and shows the challenge to western mainstream narrative,

a challenging this notion that the russians and vision of your friend was completely unprovoked us and german governments repeatedly promised sylvia present retail girlhood. gorbachev, that nato would not move one inch eastward. there is no reason uh to make attempts to erase the borders of, of a neighboring country. and that's what we're. so if you think of this, the hand were on the other foot or the glover and the other hand, you know, in mexico was trying to enter, you know, an alliance that historically has a precedence for establishing russian military base is on it. you know, mexico was going to get a russian military base install that, you know, our reaction to that would probably be like no, no way, no way in hell is that gonna fly? um, so it's a, i know it's a hypothetical, but it's a pretty simple one that i think most people can grant. it's certainly the hypothetical and i feel fairly confident ground to say that any potential us action in this hypothetical scenario certainly wouldn't involve the infringement on another countries sovereignty in territorial integrity and attempts to erase its

foreigners off the map. so yes, mexico is a hypothetical, but it's historical fact. what happened during the cuban missile? i'm not disputing historical fact about i think what we're talking about is say that it's like the. ready the size of the article and blow the question on the western media, and the officials often call the crane conflict an unprovoked attack by russia really to disregard the fact that most go raised concerns and proposed signing security guarantees on numerous occasions prussia wanted assurances in response to nato's broken promises on the whole thing is east with expansion, which has always been one of the most goes key concerns and red lines. and i spoke with liam calls grow the grades and reporter who got up there and pushed back against the us official who says the west impressed and uses the same rhetoric, has a governments to simply which push their establishment agenda. and i was mainly focused on, was it provoked by the us that any way? and i thought, i think interesting, and his response is the 1st half. he says, no, absolutely not. you know, we did not do anything to provoke,

but then in the 2nd half, when we bring up the mexico scenario and the cuban missile crisis, he kind of says, well, you know, if the us was going to respond to mexico, it wouldn't be an invasion. and then he does the same thing later on this too, but you know what, we didn't invade, but we did respond. but inherent to that responsive is the fact that the us actually did respond to the cuban missile crisis. it wasn't an invasion, but there was a response and that's kind of the definition of provocative. you know, why does it work to me to always sticks to essentially one side of the story we know the forest johnson, whatever a year ago. now scott held the peaceful that we're about to happen between kids and most school. we know the bbc right now. the bbc is kind of changed as narrow it. ringback or on ukraine, so every time i present a or a corresponding folks about ukraine, they talk about russia's full scale. military invasion is the 1st 3 or 4 words. they say, every time they talk about this confidence in ukraine, even the pope said a year and a half ago, this was

a pro vote conflict. you make an interesting point about the alignment with western media with what i strand governments. you know, we do have some free press here, like luckily the one i worked for allows me to. but when you look at new york times washington post, they're almost always in lock step with the us government. and actually one point of optimism that i would point to in regards to that is lately. you've actually seen those outlets kind of criticize ukraine a bit. i don't know if you saw the new york times article about the nazi symbolism
