on the offensive wilderness, 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 removing. yeah, but on we have just returned from bishop, our washington 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 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, the crate in forces they've attempted to breach of russia's defense is just outside the small town of either of 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 a thrown into the me grind is over that. and well, so far they have failed to show anything for a little too early and you're up to 3 in a be tank units were moving in 4 directions. the enemy did not even reach the combat collision line. in 2 places. we have been preparing some 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 and 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, till probably 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 under oil, killing a purse, and now so foss,

the fighters, who over that they are describing the, 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 base so far have not given any important positions at 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 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 tanks and kinda speak. so lots about the and says a lot about the marolla view crania, and forces of, uh, thrown again into the made 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 you're creating a tax on russian positions helping repel. but now t f is dismissing claims that have had begun nits along the way to counter offensive against russia. of the major west and media outlets said precisely that is all corresponded 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 ukranian 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 trial but offensive. but they were going to have then, now if you crane is sell it 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 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 the 2 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

at lunch 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 products and a local technical school. and we're also having these reports in the past on a region where the acting governor that has said that 2 people have been killed, one of them, a pregnant woman internet track 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, the premiums have target to the conversation that causing a full risk 5. and of course, this is leading many people to all where more of this nightmare come to an end and a staying with a nearby, i can help go hydro electric pond to western media,

laughed out very quickly, and russia facing blame for them. destruction directly on most scope of the equipment in dispute, of those claims, immediately accusing kia fall the attack now as flooding intensifies and the territories are western media and reporting on reactions from ukraine. and officials, though barely even touching upon russia's position, that 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 some biggest nuclear power prod, his apology is a potential target. the criticism of the west narrative has surfaced among it from, for example, radio talk show host and political ad list of 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. a lot political. i pushed the narrative even further saying that quote, the world blames the russian president for destroying the dad, but no by

a whole sky. but africa base political analyst at jackie, sean do has a slightly different take on that major report of broadcast. 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 animal the day 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 crazy awesome push on it to get to the t s. they have clearly chosen the site from the very beginning. and yeah, it's the story and the sticking to it, the rest of the world seems to have a very different approach to this conflict. and so that is why now the e u and u. s. opinion somehow is projected as global opinion,

united says or not. also thought to how the g 7 members for example, conceived or. 1 international affairs and to look on it cannot be that whatever you together with the us say what is been the propagate, it is what the, what feats i mean, i can speak quite confident to, for example, in terms of where most of africa stands stand russian a couple of american john list so took on the us state department spokesman over his recently comments on rosters and provoked war in ukraine. the online footage running spike res out and shows the challenge to western mainstream narrative. a challenging this notion that the russians and vision of ukraine was completely unprovoked. us and german governments repeatedly promised sylvia presently,

gallagher, hook 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 the hand were on the other foot for 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 gonna get a russian military base and saw 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 congrats, it's certainly the hypothetical and i feel are fairly on confident ground to say that any potential us action in this hypothetical scenario certainly wouldn't involve the infringement on another country's sovereignty and 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, matt, i think what we're talking about, i'll just 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. but they to disregard the fact that most go raised concerns and proposed signing security guarantees. on numerous occasions, russia wanted assurances and respondents to nathan'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 cause 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. what i was mainly focused on was it provoked by the us in 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 with you, but you know what, we didn't invade, but we did respond. but inherent to that response, it 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, what is the worst 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 peace folks that were about to happen between kids and most of them. you know, the bbc right now. the bbc is kind of changed his narrative or on ukraine. so every time a present or a correspondent talks about ukraine, they talked about russia's full scale, military invasion is the 1st 3 or 4 words. they say, every time they talk about this conflict 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 a string government's um. 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 you prayed a bit. i don't know if you saw the new york times article about the nazi symbolism that is on the ukrainian fighters, which i don't think would be allowed if it wasn't partially sanctioned by the us government. another positive side is the willingness that has, that has also been kinda seen with leach to the media as well as, you know, some kind of pro us public figures suggesting that, well, you create a, the don't boss, you know, we a, we should, we, we should be willing to give those up, and it's frustrating to hear that because that was kind of the, that was a deal back in february of 2022. we could have not had the war had we just held referendums in those regions, but it's still, it's still reassuring to hear now that at least the us seems to be willing to put

those. i'm going to go shooting the table, give those up. ukraine doesn't need them, and the people who lived there don't even really want to be part of your brain, according to both sides. to palestinian john less trim on so he 5 who have been injured off to is ready for us as mounts at a rate on the policy and city of ramallah in the west bank. of course it provides violence classes or the it has been a very tough morning in ramallah this thursday. media report say that a large group of israeli military came to down on all the capital of the policy in administration to carry out an army operation of demolish in the house belonging to someone who israel accused and charged off terrorism. they prizes on the ground spark immediately outrage. i'm on the local population,

including youngsters. they started throwing stones to these rarely forces with the army immediately responding with fire in life, and robert bullets as well as to your guys. the idea of confirmed as part of the information provided by the palestinian journalist since because saying that one published in fulton journalist was hated by robin bullets to he's had while he was at the riots between local population. and these really are me. he's currently is in a intensive care. i have to say this is a very hot topic, according to rough estimates, in the last 22 years. these really forces killed at least 22 journalist and many others have been wounded and a big concern of human rights groups. both local and international is but no one has ever been punished for that. and this is why we now hear from local journalists that this case should be taking 2 colt, including international criminal court. demolishing house is a, is a, come on,

is rarely practice when it comes to the perpetrator, or is accused of terrorist and israel has been doing it all across the occupied west bank, claiming it is by this punishment and a tool of deterrence to potential attackers. this recent time, the idea of said that his statement a residence of some of the one who was behind the terror attack, interest to them less november 1 as demolished when tween bloss killed. 2 people hadn't changed her. it's 14 others, at least with all the com on this policy is highly criticized human rights groups. local and international call is a form of collective punishment, claiming it is not federal legal that the families of the attackers have been punished and a suffering. there were several cases here when college student lays appealed to high court of justice in jerusalem, trying to prevent the homes from being demolished beds and most of the cases these appeals were rejected. well,

they are trying to be international commission to support palestinian rights says israel is deliberately silencing palestinian john list and others who push back on television narratives. and it's so cold. heavy handed of pro is that separate should be, unfortunately after the beginning of the arab israeli conflict. neither is really commanders nor soldiers were held accountable for the crimes committed, including those against journalists, which are protected not only by the general provisions of international and few minutes or.
