you see through their illusions, going underground can the peach tree millions the us pretends that it is not afraid of an escalation of the conflict in ukraine. there are many people in america with clear mind who did not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winners from the ongoing counter offensive to the black stake rangel russian president vladimir needs with war correspondence to discuss the credit complex. also ahead of the party examines our russian forces, are repelling ukrainian offensive on the front line. i do calls for public

election interference in yet another attempt to rank and steal a presidential election. donald trump despises his indictment as he pleads not guilty to charges of mist handling classified documents. plus the $26.00 st. petersburg international economic form kicks off and russia's northern capital. as over 17000 participants from 130 countries attend the major economic event. we bring new special coverage right here on our see the coming to live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. there are many people in the us who don't want to trigger

a 3rd world war, which will see no winners. that's according to vladimir putin who met for a q and a with russian war correspondence, saying that the west must stop arming ukraine. email which is good for it is a mess, have gone through offensive with the use of prepared reserves. the enemy had no success in any of the sections they had have it losses. all of their losses are close to the estimate of what is called catastrophic in terms of personnel. the losses may be ones that can be healed or they may be permanent. usually permanent losses are 25 percent, but ukraine's losses are almost $5050.00. but we have 10 times fewer casualties that ukraine as for our vehicles, they last over 160 tags and over 360 armored vehicles of various types during that time of which we are sure when the amount of pharmacy used inoffensive operations are significantly higher at this point, the west has attempted to to warehouses of coal weapons for ukraine,

only south korea and israel have supplies left. but soon those 2 will be gone. is because there are over 160 tanks, 360 infantry fighting vehicles. and that's not all the native equipment. there is also, some of you have made hardware and farmers vehicles are being destroyed. both bradley's and left bards burned as perfectly as we expected. 25 to 30 percent of the supply. the equipment has been destroyed. well, essentially we covered just about everything, you know, it takes touchstone just about everything related to the complex, especially put me, given the opinion, challenge of offensive, but is underway now. and that is, by all accounts that isn't going as ukraine who it's allies, it's phones is plans. ukraine is meeting very serious resistance with c goodman tags and american apc's. and there is native vehicles funding in the fields of as i thought it was, you regions and you have region. so it is an especially volume period in the front

logic queen has shaped its hopes on these counter offensive. they, they promise to break, to move away to the black sea. so this is the see of as of, but so far they have been in tati. unsuccessful fuel also touched on the grading color to say that the west and those upon the deal have refused. it will have been unable to meet the side of the bargain. so that is free. a russian shipments of grains and fertilizer ship and so exports a board say they haven't been able to do that. you praise is use the green card or a car tool that allows ships carrying green and agricultural goods to leave you create as use that to launch attacks by drones and other methods against the against the russian vessels. liam, probably the guys who are fighting on the front line, don't understand why we need this grain deal. you see,

we are doing it not for the sake of ukraine, but for africa, an enlightened american countries that have friendly relations with us. because the green must be shipped to the poorest countries in the world dealership. but as i have already said, many times, out of the total volume of the ukrainian grain that has been shipped only a little over 3 percent went through the forest countries. while more than 40 percent is being shipped to wealthy, you countries such a vase and i also president about a potential piece flat and all the countries offering to be need ages in this math and letting me put and said we, we, we never rejected. we've always wanted a peaceful resolution negotiations before most had the deal for beauty. one thing you could bring up the customer so you would have never given up on negotiations that could lead to a peaceful supplement during the negotiations. and this symbol we signed these documents with them, they just threw it away afterwards. that's all the us holds the key to a peaceful solution to the ukranian conflict. if they really want to negotiate,

all they need to do is to stop supplying weapons to keep the us where it says that it is not afraid of an escalation of the conflict and ukraine. but there are many people in america with clear minds who do not want to call the 3rd world war, in which there will be no winners to flip a lot america, and also text on the ukrainian counter offensive during not meeting with russian war correspondents, our tv grocery down up examines how russian forces are holding the line all across the front line. ukraine's troops are robust of the counter offensive has commenced . and russia sped as no effort to nip that in the bud. these guns the refutation of a sniper rifle. and now a 152 millimeter caliber packs, a might see punch the

lies on the southern front. chief has so far, pendants hopes on crushing rushes defensive lines there, but to no avail. he outside the town of least chance ukraine is pushing relentlessly to. but all to a similar result, the big guns are the backbone of cubes, offensive. so counter battery fire is vital for russia. lucas now, and that's our group as coal sniper is because we were very accurate to shooting, hating and destroying,

and to be targets. we even received the challenge for the ukrainians for know to redo roll, but we didn't accept it because they were very cunning. the key to success is to work as fast as possible to work in a cohesive team. everyone must perform that you just quickly and not to interfere with the others, or was suffered into don't pass artillery fire accounts for an overwhelming majority. it tends trenches into school, which stuff it melts. my incentive rate's everything in its path. a he tillery has proven once again that it is indeed the good of more i make is done every proposing from the don't bass oxy. profiting from more german arms, producer ryan rental has seen is stock market value jump as the you continues to send weapons to ukraine with the company c, a claiming he expects to further boost the firms income. our g contributor rachel

morrison has more. the more evidence is rolling in a decisive winner in the ukraine conflict. western weapons manufacturer is the ceo of leading german weapons manufacturer. ryan metal now says that his company is set to see its profit skyrocket, at least in to 2025. i want to raise an income in 2025, should be bought 1500000000 years, and that'd be even 1700000000 years for 5 allegation. multiply that with effect. so if 11 or 12 that it gives you an order of magnitude. now this is a company that makes the leper to tax and munitions that have been given to you credit. so it's not surprising to see that the company share value has been on a general upward trend from around the end of january when the german government agreed to send the tags after much bullying from ukraine and it's western allies. and then when image is started circulating of leper tanks getting blown up by russia. well, the share value just happened to take up yet again. time will tell whether this

particular trend hold, but it seems that blowing up old weapons that were just sitting around in germany's garage is good for business. after all, the european union has used you tax payer funding to rev up the blocks military industrial complex following in the footsteps of their us allies with billions of heroes, aaron bar to replace weapon stocks of european nations that donate their hand me downs to ukraine. it's kind of like a teenager who has an old clunker of a car and their parents say that if they give up that old piece of junk to their little brother, let's say his name is vladimir zalinski. then mom and dad, mr. or mrs. brussels will buy their other kid a brand new ferrari and ryan metal. c e o is basically a meeting that ukraine is just one big cash cow. much of a growth is due to the terrible war and ukraine. no countries, europe is well prepared in case and the caressing vase, that governments have understood that which is why the month full of products is

rising. the performance of the weapons are kind of a moot point when they're reduced to a steaming pile of rubble, a fine missile strikes. but a weapon that needs to be replaced is more profitable than one that doesn't. the slovak you and prime minister also will drop the truth bom, recently about the racket that the u has created by incentivizing european countries to full. i do crane with weapons warehouses across europe or m t. o armies will very stuck in a weapon system and warehouses. and this is a 5 to 10 year job. today i'm your nation for ukraine is bought through a centralized european procurement system. and if we don't produce it in slovakia, providing income and jobs for the country, it will be produced in a neighboring country and it will still get where it needs to go. it sounds like he's saying that the new has created a welfare program for weapons manufacturers who otherwise would be out on the streets, begging for money with a $10.00 can. and then i patch. and now you countries like slip back yard, getting out there, sharp elbows to make sure they get the biggest slice of the pie that the you is

serving up. now, it would be nice. so if you're up was also interested in where these weapons actually ended up once they were out of sight. we keep hearing about how western nations have committed to helping ukraine's defense, but don't want western weapons used against russia. now that seems to be easier said than done. belgium is under fire right now for weapons that appeared to have ended up in russia's belgrade region. when you look at the photo, so you can see that it's on athens car. does it come from equipment in belgium? delivered this part of i'd say to drain on monday, i send to lots of them while you print in defense, comfortable. it's asking for clarification. i hope that at some point we'll know for sure you're free and present environments. zalinski keeps asking for more and more gifts of weapons from the west, like a kid who breaks his toys 10 seconds after, on wrapping them on christmas morning. and since the tax payers ultimately paying the bill, and this benefactors are seeing record profits as a result. well, they're only too happy to oblige. meanwhile, more than

a 100 people reportedly died in nigeria after their boat capsized. search and rescue operations are still ongoing. the incident occurred in the west of the country on the niger river. the victims, including women and children, were returning from a wedding on monday morning. state police report the 103 people died. more than 100 or rescue from the vote. experts say the such incidents are common in the region for many years, poorly maintained and overloaded vessels for transport. it's the $26.00 st. petersburg international economic form has kicked off and russia's northern capital. here on archie will bring you special coverage throughout the week. the for more on this, let's cross live now to ortiz unit own neil unit. and what is the latest there at

the forum? hi, rachel. yeah, we're in full flung here in day one. face and petersburg for them at flood in gas. coming in every hour. we've been grabbing them, trying to get a word off the street on today. i can welcome at douglas under little 10 political and less than a car industry veteran in the us as well. the risk, thanks very much for taking the time to speak to a series. well, 1st of all, you are very welcome to the for on prompts 1st impressions. i know you've just arrived it's, it's a big event, isn't it here? very, very big. i am shocked. i am in dismay about how big this form is, but very pleased to be here. very pleased to be here. and thank you for inviting me . of you will perhaps touch upon your expertise in, in the automobile industry, because that part's all the form as well. how that's going to diversify going

forward, that sector. but politically, 1st in, in terms of the current, your home country, the us, the us political course, how would you assess dot permanently? is us policy escalating global tensions? is it a stagnating? is it as being proactive? what's your sense of it right now? us policy right now is something i've never ever seen before. how bad it's become, with our president, joseph biden. i've never seen anything like this in my life. fall in my 77 years, and i am not very happy. and i know many people, my many friends and family who are not happy as well. it's not a good movement. it's not a good action. i am very disappointed and very unhappy with the direction we're in right now. he gets an aggressive stance. i think his,

his policies are really non existent. he doesn't do much of anything on a positive basis. it's all negative. i've never seen so much negativity, coming from us, us political situation administration. it's just terrible from my perspective. one of the, the, the issues that the for him here is that there's a big world out there. it's not just euro, nate, so there's a big treating area. there's a, there's a big scope for economics. and in terms of russia, in terms of other countries, you've got, you know, an emerging markets coming at very much established ones in the middle east, but also then africa, asian nations, as well. with that in mind, there has been a western push to isolate russia and of the judging by today. and i'm just the general feeling of how those sanctions have worked or otherwise is russia

isolated? personally, i don't believe so. okay, i think what russia has been able to accomplish since the sanctions went into effect is absolutely fantastic. ok, i think what's happened with the sanctions, it's backfiring on the west, and especially america, in my, in my humble opinion. and i am so happy that russia has been able to, to bypass and skirt the sanctions in so many ways with their friends and allies. that's where i am personally to be a confidence this year, perhaps even more than last you hear about other countries saying, you know, we don't want to, to hide ourselves. we want to put our companies 1st on, if not means working with russia. china, well, we're going to do that because it's going to help our people. and that's what russia 1st, even america, 1st with uh, president trump, is all about. and that's what i like about president. he's always been russia 1st,

and that's the way it should be for any country leader. the, as you well know, the from russia collusion story, it dragged on for quite a while. it's up to a lot of the instruct in all of the, all of the, the, the media or it just took so much of the political time. didn't that know you've got something. his supporters are saying it's similar and not that of the sound of him being at possibly impeached. and you know that that's going to federal issue. how do you see that? not the issue with donald trump is going to make donald trump more popular because people are realizing in the he's being persecuted. and it's because of the media has joined sides with the democrats. instead of being honest reporters of fact, they're not doing that. they haven't been doing that for years, but people,

american people are finally waking up, in my opinion, to see the persecution on this for man. he's a great american. he loves america. he wants to always the best for america. and that's what the democrats can't take it. they're just so afraid of donald trump. they're totally afraid of him and my judge going forward. could he see a prison sentence? i doubt it. personally, i doubt it gets possible. i'll get a 20 percent probability that he might, but in fact, that the charges are so weak, according to all the analysts that i've heard about and listen to. the charges are very, very weak. so it may even be dismissed within the next few months. march is what it does, trial is supposed to be, as i understand it, and it may be dismissed back in january. possibly. that's what i'm hoping for.

hardwood a from presidency. going forward a 2nd from term with, with, with russian mind on global. ok. i think it will be even better. it will be much better. his 1st term was understanding what's going on. he was, he had an agenda and that agenda was pretty much fulfilled. but now if he gets in there for the 2nd term, it's going to be a different kind of an agenda to help clean house. in my judgement, my judgement, he's going to go after the democrats who have taken him on and, and created a situation that's untenable for america and really the world. okay. because of america does what the democrats want. it's, it's not going to be good. it's seen douglas sometimes is very at one one's side it's, it's almost seen as if the old democrats, if,

if you're the main stream media, most democrats at support functions. all democrats support pushing on on, on rushing to monitor the costs to their tax peers and dollars. but it's not like those. it's not completely blocked. and why does it? because the more this goes on, the more that their money is being spent on ukraine for $1.00. right. and how does the, what's the general sense of, of, into us right now? well, from my perspective, people are understanding that we don't want to get into this quagmire. with a blank check for ukraine that's, that's my opinion or something. i think it's like 70 percent. and the latest polls that i've seen do not want a blank check for weapons and everything for you, frank, what you read the washington post. you read the new york times, you know, things if there's absolute support going forward, blank check as much as you put those 2 entities are just totally anti crump and they're fair monitoring and they're, they want to promote war. so okay, there,

that's just the way they've been and it's just disgusting that they take that position. and believe me, there are as many people who read those 2 newspapers publications, as you might think, it's just those people who are in the washington post new york times to promote promot promote or there's it. the reason is whether or not it's, it's going to it's going to happen in the near future, but there isn't move away from, you know, laughter. so us 1st around the world, a big control at the status quote. more countries are coming forward and saying it should be a more equal playing field. you know, a point that multi point to where, what would be us no matter if it's a couple of things or a democrats. what would the game plan be for the, for the us going for,

would it be very different if it's demons or, or the g o p. absolutely. opposite, opposite a 180 degrees. different president trump never got us into a war and his for years he brought people out of a war advocate and that's what his ultimate goal is. and he said many times that if he becomes president on november 5 next year, that he will have the ukraine, russia situation resolved within 24 hours. and i believe he has so much capability. he understands how to deal with and work with people in a positive way instead of a negative way. and that's what the vitamin ministration is all about is all negative. but trump is positive while making america 1st. he's willing to work with other people. look at what he did in the middle east with the agreement abraham accords. it was amazing what he did. so i am very hopeful that if he does get in

the white house again, things are going to be much, much better. just finally and you'll get more of a child. so think of walk around the form of the coming hours, but i've been there and there's, there's so many people from a run that the world here, but not a lot of not a lot of europeans. there are some americans, are you fearful in any way that you get tards as a, as a putting an apologist or a, you know, and on thinking, usefully, the coming here and sharing your view with us on russia. i'm not concerned about that. i am not a citizen of the united states, but i have kind of a world view and i'm willing to listen to anyone. ok. that's the most important thing. and trump is very good at listening to people and understanding their concerns and, and putting it into his philosophy the, and coming out the best for everybody in my judgement. so time will tell that i'm just bring the he's back in the white house,

come january of 2020. finally find you then us russian relations where we're early in the, the 3rd decades of the 21st century. it's, it's of it a time when it's been spring more than any other. how do you think the, the, the relations between these nations is going to progress as the deck? he goes on kind of the state, the way it is and such a stag meyer such a church, you know, a relationship where every thing is, every little comment is new on stunted. you have to look into where that leads down the line. these relations could be damaged for a long, long time if something's knocked on, well, the problem is if a democrat gets in there is going to be worse. but if trump gibson back into the why have a white house, things are going to be much better and a short period of time. because again, he doesn't have anything against president poor. okay. he doesn't have anything against present e g that he wants to work with people and have peace. he wants to have peace

and good, good will for every country. douglas, i'm very little 10 control of the ts tso operations at ford, customer service division on political level as many thanks for your time today. thank you sir, for, for talking to this all those subjects today at rachel. that's where i leave it for now from the st. petersburg, international economic for i'm, as i said before, the, we've got a plethora of guest right. rights and the week because it's a 4 day event. lots of debates. lots of discussions going on right now. we're taking people from all different sectors shooting like douglas, your political hours, to try and get a feel of where russia is in the world right now. and going forward. we'll leave it there. talk to you in a has arts easy to know neil with live coverage for us. be sure to state here and we've got a lot more plan over the next few days. a former us president and

donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $37.00 charges over alleged miss handling of classified documents. he said the case was fabricated against him to sabotage the upcoming election, which is the most evil. and hey, is abuse of bell or the history of our country. very sad thing to watch. it corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty. right in the middle of a presidential election, this is called election interference and yet another attempt to reagan steal a presidential election. more importantly, it's a political persecution. joe biden will forever be remembered as not only the most corrupt president of the history of our country, but perhaps even more importantly, the president are together with a band of as low as thugs, misfits and marks is tried to destroy american democracy. i'm here out in front of

the court house, where in the last few hours we had donald trump pleading not guilty to 37 different counts of miss handling classified government documents. and at this point, uh, we have now heard from donald trump and many of his supporters and many republicans in congress who see this is simply an effort to meddle in the upcoming 2024 elections. donald trump made his court appearance. there were thousands of donald trump supporters outside the court house. and then donald trump returned to new jersey where he gave a message on the indictment to his supporters. they want to distract from the real espionage and the real crime. so let's use president trump to do so. let's go out and let's indict president trump, so they don't talk about the $5000000.00 bright. remember, they impeached me for asking the simple question about biters grew up dealings in

ukraine and now they see that once again i was right. i was right, i was totally right. joe biden, and the radical left can take foreign bribes and be totally protected. republicans, all, you must finally get tough, you've got to get tough. you got to get tough and you gotta show when you arrest your leading political opponent, we no longer have a democracy. you have a nation that as we are, isn't serious, serious decline of a nation in serious that lie. now in his message, donald trump said they want to take away his freedom. he said they want to take away my freedom because they, i won't take away yours. uh, that was one of the memorable quotes from his message to supporters and many are linking the timing of this indictment with the new revelations about the biden's family and their alleged corrupt dealings in ukraine. and the revelation that the f

b, i seems to have covered up and protested that investigation from being made public . and there's a lot being res, now, by republicans in congress about dividing family and their dealings and connections in ukraine. so many are wondering if this is not only and a half or 2 metal and prevent donald trump from being successful in the 2024 election, which polls indicate he would win if it were held today. but on top of that, many are looking at this and asking the question as to whether or not this is done to distract from the revelations that are now surfacing about the bite and family and their connections and the efforts to conceal those things. so at this point, there's a lot of cynicism. there were many of donald trump supporters out in front of the court house to day protesting donald trump was greeted by many of his supporters in new jersey at a rally where he just gave that rousing message. there are many people to look on this as a don.
