with the united states alone, hired for the be esteemed advisor to ukrainian president has been a quiet a journey. nearly a month ago he was labeling wagner as tara's southern please be except opposite. the very same group is now miraculously at the helm of a noble counter terrorist operation. regardless, but no contract service operation on the territory of russia has already led to the capture of rust off several federal highways, the headquarters of the southern district, an s m. o display between the a leads you state of this green and pretending that everything is settled, once work. regardless of perfect 61, it is not possible to go forward. it is impossible to go back to stand still. they will simply be destroyed. i mean, nation is not given what remains being officially recognized terry's group and wait for the finale. and of course, just the day after them you knew was over. and wagner chip regarding is heading to

bella. ruth, thanks to a deal broken by the russian president lucas chunk of washington post and the new york times come out with articles claiming that the west intelligence has long been aware of the upcoming pool. and of course site a non l then, and none of them is sources. it's a really bit know, and i'm not sure they did because after the events take place, everyone can claim anything in the washington post is known to say what the deep state and what the intelligent us intelligence services want them to say. but if they knew within, why were they so foolish? why was their response over the last $24.00 or 48 hours and the response of the western media that is so close to the political establishment? why was it so horrible? why was, why did they predict think things so badly? and while on the one hand, western countries said they were just closely monitoring the situation and

stressing their support for ukraine, can you, russian allies were quickly extended support to the russian federation and made the crisis all in all. it really seems like the u. s. and it's western allies just pick and choose who's bad, or who's good, depending on whether or not their motives are fulfilled. or you can check out all websites policy dot com. so a timeline of the key moment. so the volume use any attends in russia, and of course, do say to writes here on off faithful, more coverage of the lights has developed. meanwhile, the russian to as minister is on the phone lines where he's visited, the west ami groups come on post as part of the inspection. the head of the russian ministry receive reports on the current situation on the ground, including developments on offensive maneuvers by the conflicting sides. so going to line the importance of comprehensive support for russian troops, as well as creating safe conditions for the deployments of personnel. meanwhile,

the russian forces have targeted ukrainian shapes and the region of our show must go backwards destroying 11 infantry fighting vehicles and the knots henry piece. according to the russian defense ministry says you've got any forces tried to take advantage of the chaos caused by the short lived volume. mutiny to try and advance new the city of correspondents in the area to these ruins of the headstone. marking the place where you cranes, hopes died. false hopes that may be russian troops will make it fast. this about old buck moved the city that to you swore to defend no matter what the 5 for bottom will do. will change this tragic story of our war for independence and the freedom to us. leave what the we have coming into positions to control the entrance to buckboard. it's important that we are digging deeper now. we're preparing for the attack. i don't believe of course, investment will fall. i believe the tool advance. we will continue to hold our

positions and back them, destroyed the fighters of the russian army. ukraine lost tens of thousands of men here before breaking that promise in a bit to save face. it is now trying to flank the city from the north and south. the push is as furious as it has been futile. it's of interest unless somebody has to be tried to create a successful offensive at times. the peak of their activity was around 17. the soldiers per day without the main and they took control of some fortifications outside of re and multiple loans, rocket systems worked intensively, and as a result, we fault them back to you forces don't attack blindly. they try to keep a fleece of surveillance, drones in the sky at times a challenge. russia has to counter and this and t a crop gun that flies 2000 rounds. the minutes is a fail proof option the

. this is what will be one of the most. it's all machines here designed as in a defense piece, he has been repurposed to hit targets on the ground. and even under is this gun praise not just on apple and targets when it's rounds. had to the tops a hell of trap. no shell was down on anyone unlucky to be in the trenches below. and given the key of safe guards hardware and not so much men such guns don't. i don't for too long. phone number to nick, but that's basically the enemy forces. so trying to use manpower, they've not been using much middle for equipment lately. this is probably due to large losses of machines as they tend to have to be not as efficient as was promised. the enemies forces are trying to enter oppositions, maybe not using some of imaging equipment. they occupy some points, but then we bombard them with thoughts in

a re and they leave. so they were time supporting this. recently we've noticed that they sold just not properly trained. apparently these old and re mobilized people who are being threatened for slaughter. keith has already lost. he has several army corps chasing to roy headlines. and it proceeds to send more of it soldiers into the mean grinders here. oblivious to the cost scale makers done over posing from solar dot oxy, the version of federal security services have detained a suspect for treason f. s b claims the suspect sent some money to ukraine, which was using the purchase of military equipment to be used against the russian military. officers say this effect carried out more than 10 fences of personal funds for the purchase of kamikaze drones. what cops is munition and of the military equipment? the case has been opened by the investigative committee on the prosecution is gathering evidence. the

israel's foreign ministry has summoned ukrainian. i'm positive for his statements accusing is relevant to providing ukraine with enough aid. instead of the project to this claims and has been behind kiff and the response of the will of the embassy of ukraine in the state of israel emphasizes with regrets that the current is ready . government has opted for a pop up close cooperation with the russian federation. we are as the as ready to government to change its position and to support ukraine with defensive means to support freedom and democratic well georgia. we expect israel to be on the right side of history, following the harsh statement of the ambassador of ukraine in these relatives, a on social media, you will be summoned to reprimand cole, administered a foreign affairs, e's real sense, humanitarian aids, ukraine in an unprecedented manner. despite the complexities with russia, israel's to be grain from the beginning of the war until today, publicly supported the grace territorial integrity insolvency and even voted in international forums to condemn russia. since the beginning of the war as well as

been supplying ukraine with normally for late non combat vehicles on missile warning systems, the ukranian on boss of the also to use the p and benjamin netanyahu of devising fictional on speculative assumptions to justify refusing to send legal aid to ukraine, an interview to the jerusalem post last week, and that's in yahoo said his concerns. it's any weapon systems given to ukraine. codes ultimately end up with iran and be used against israel itself. that's known as a c or radical possibility. it's actually happens with the western end to tank weapons that we now find. it's all voyages. so we have to be very careful here. literally we spoke to generalist on middle east experts. you only been men of trim. you says that ukraine is trying to force his real, to stick aside in the will, which is refusing to. and then you all decided to keep the policy of the previous government a all the beads and to be very careful with the width is that these was sends

the ukraine with to be very careful and take you to considerations older investigation. all the sudden being a, a maybe aggressive weapons as be, or offensive weapons as the ukraine is of the menu with to be very careful of dispos. we have good relations with russia and they were going to mean gaming they need in spite of the war. we have to pick a into account that this was not going to go for ever at some point the 2 stall and the ease or it has to maintain the relationship. also is russia and the and ukraine and then nothing to be taken on one side, the position just to set aside the ukrainians. the gym and defense minister has a methods that most german citizens would rather spend the funds going to ukraine on resolving domestic issues. but he said there's no other choice. i mean, obviously i don't know if i want to make it clear. i would also prefer to have

spend the money on those schools and give me gardens on better health care, uncommon and child poverty or climate change. i believe that's what the vast majority of treatments would have wanted. and i'd like to add, i would much more to prefer to live in a world that doesn't need any defense ministers. but all that being said, it's clear that there is no other way, but to provide me with the assistance to ukraine or the defense minister speech came slowly after unto nato protest near the us rubbish stein ad. based in germany, in response to the decision to increase much it's ukraine by 3 and a half 1000000000 euros. with it shows demonstrates as matching with bonus, calling for peace negotiations and an end to on supplies to keep. so just to say the weapons deliveries are only causing modesta amongst civilians. ministers uh from all of europe and usa and they are planning how to support you create and what they do needs and, and now with, with the weapons that go to ukraine. we said that this is very dangerous. houses in

conflicts are getting more weapons small soldiers has and we see it as just more and more. and it's escalating keegan know car and it is obvious. the conflict between russia and ukraine has a long planned action of the united states, which is proved by us documents the us wanted to bring ukraine into its fear of influence a long time ago. it also corps to europe, into all its military operations, the ramstein air base as a pivot, the promises of the us are hypocritical. the u. s. military here is not to protect europe, but the launch military operations all over the world of i was young because we hope that people can reexamined the war through our demonstration. as the u. s. has been violating international law with the drawers. meanwhile, and the u. k. petitions being lowest, calling for a referendum on whether to disrupt the sanctions against russia and on supplies to you. trained by the petition says the governments of both of kids without any

mondays from the british people suffer the consequences of sewing energy prices and inflation. and is also colson into the wall and the restoration of peace and stability. over $11000.00 people have signed the petition so far, and the end of the government will have to issue an official response. the okay, is ukraine's 2nd largest donor that's after the us. since the start of the wards committed more than 4 and a half 1000000000 pounds imagery 8, and he's also running a training program, a mean super past 30000 troops by the end of the year. lots of his own supplies include depleted uranium shelves, which have been linked to increased risk of cancer and environmental damage. but you'll come and say to on the founder, they also excuse me, all the petition on the web. but he says, the british government has to be pursuing the big corporations goals and ukraine outside space. pick up the bill. this is about the u. k. government defending the interests of godless corporations who want to

take the blood out. so if you try multiple lee, we'll materials and mental risk. ready asses of the crying, and that's why i, by you, want to you take out meant to be involved. but it's also you try to touch squares who are praying for all of these, all the members we applied for the rest. yeah. these good. this corporations are going to get li pundits this time. uh people. how did you also have this? sorry, i'm freedom and democracy should saw. so hide. i was also like the guy. i'm in the try. this is a significant point. when you have a be easier like we do to try the you try all side here. so i have a site and things about the rest of the kind in conference. you should worry because i do a pretty well do job to be born. so be about but certainly not the case

but continuing with the theme of british this concerned with the situation and ukraine option with tons of grill. just tony brenson, who's a former british on both of the 2 russia with public opinion in the you can west the media coverage of the conflicts hotly debated. you can watch the full episode throughout the day, right? a on oxy. but here's a quick preview. do you think britain is self sanctioning itself? brittany? katie imports. gas. ukraine is being pay zalinski is being paid by russia for transit fees for the gas that goes to the you to keep the lights on even now. rush it. could you k as the case on dentures and shuffling functionality and restrictions from very high speed prices and from relatively high energy prices. and that's the price that we're paying for some continuously going on in the office . a lot of other countries as well. so i, would you be bumping off this question in this form? but if i were, i think the reaction would be that as

a price was paid to deal effectively with the aggression that russia has. because i live in the information space without a free press, as demanded by law. i should add, there are laws in england against talking about the nazis of ukraine. just finally, natural laws that should treat laws introduced. i, i know full well neighborhood because you cannot broadcast in britain any television programs that talk about the nazis, and not the movements in ukraine, that alone, there are restrictions on media. and finally, around is hosting the international exhibition of electronics where the country showcased and all the latest advances in the fast growing site to even brings together hundreds of local and foreign funds, including those from russia was back is done. and all those corresponding use of july they got the chance to visit the extra that is the biggest i t event any wrong

elecom because the international exemption of electronics computer and e commerce, more than 450 year warranty and, and for, and companies and start ups active in the development of mobile apps, computer hardware and software, as well as digital marketing have participated in a 4 day event to showcase their latest solutions and services. as it was closed trade partners, restaurant china, have a strong presence in the event we purchased by these experience as we know, daddy's various i must experienced in the wrong so we can hear us. we also incorporate the e runyan companies for many years. we a system soft software company from russia. uh, uh, our main um for audits are linux based the operating system. while european tech companies are absent in the event as a result of the western sanctions, your role spicy t minister says we have not lost their interest in your role as markets. so that

was useful in the past 6 months, more than $200000000.00 worth of contracts have been signed between a rainy and foreign companies among them. awesome european firms have seen it move in recent years. so you might want to explore the major drive behind this for the work from century limited access to online services. casing point is the lack of access, other one end users online stores work amazon with local companies to 0 in on this area and develops domestic versions of digital marketplace. what's all about should the, a positive pulse of the sanctions has to be in the development of online shops in our country, which have been successful to some extent, a significant factor in the digital market. this, the internet, many countries face internet limitations, but we face speed fluctuations. and sometimes these causes limitations in terms of how many of want in apps on the international marketing platforms watch caps for on

google fly. trying to get the whole marketing platforms are sitting in the field. so the russian app developers, this is a viable way out of the way we're app removals from app store and google play you 2022 alone. the 2 tech giant's removed up to 13000 russian apps from the platforms that move car wash and developers by surprise. but now they're seeking to follow it runs foot steps to regain their last foothold. experts believe there's an urgent need to transition from western operating systems to domestic versions. they say it's not just about the sanctions, but it's a matter of security. the question is not all of this functions, but in those areas and the security too. because now everyone's who use mobile phones depends on tuesday in the f o and google and uh, you can dimensions of your all your data. so only of those analogies

belong to not to you, but to apple and google wires overcoming get increasingly digitalized. c d c. for more on any of those stories as well as all the latest updates, all t dot com is your place to go. my name's peter scott's on the be back again at the top of the hour with all today's top stories. i'll see you then the, the,

the, the hello, i'm manila chan you are tuned into modus operandi. tonight will cruise over to the pacific rim, while much of the world has of eyes on ukraine. the us department of defense and washington's political elite have already shifted their gaze farther east. taiwan, australia, the philippines, the solomon islands. washington is island hopping,

and we'll tell you why. next. all right, let's get into the about the they told you flat out that their focus is shifting to the pacific. remember, when president joe biden said this, are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that, yes, you are. that's a commitment. we made a 2nd, then we may, we are not look, here's the situation. if we agree with the one china policy, we signed on all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that that can be taken by force is taken by force is just not, it's just not appropriate to dislocate the entire region. and be another action

similar to what happened in your, in your credit. that was bite and back in 2022, while on his 1st trip to asia as poetess during a press conference in japan with his counterpart from york, you should up. and while washington keeps saying it observes the one china policy, their actions tell you another story. look at nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan just before she step down as speaker of the house are technically the 3rd in line to the presidency. as they say, talk is cheap, the chinese notice, so they're taking action across the pacific region. they've expanded their new belt and road initiative to include maritime deals, which will increase trade partnerships throughout much of the pacific rent. so we're here to break it all down for us is an expert in us china relations. he has lived and worked in mainland china on and off since the 1980s,

a dr. attendant hammond, professor of history at new mexico state university. he's also the former director of the confucius institute and officer of the new book. china is revolution and the quest for a socialist future. dr. hammond, thank you so much for joining us today. uh, 1st question. in the pacific region, there is really only one major country that is considered western. that's australia, sorry, new zealand. but we saw increase tensions between the chinese and ozzy's under the morrison government. but now the labor has one down under anthony albany, is making moves to saw the icing relations between his country and china. with the elephant in the room for albany. c is the us between the new bite and august packed the quad security alliance. the ozzy's could be ham strong from getting too close to beijing. how do you read australia is fine line they're walking as well. i think

that sits there caught you in a sort of historical conundrum in some ways because of course that's really a, has a long history of, you know, as a, as a white settler colony, it has been a participant in, in the british imperial system. and then, you know, after even after its independence, it has remain very closely tied to britain that, that varies from administration to administration. but i think that labor finds itself in a, in a situation where they're, the reality of the world, of course, is that asia and, and within asia, china is increasingly important in terms of, of australia's international trade. of, you know, china is, is becoming much more significant, much more uh, carrying a lot more weight. and so i think that there's, there's the, the,

the sort of legacy of identification with, with the west with the british empire. and then later with the united states. but the, the evolving realities, the emerging realities are that australia is future, is probably going to be shaped more by its relationship with china. so i think that the easiest had got a navigate this very carefully. i think that it's a welcome situation now for us to tell you to be backing away from some of the more overt antagonism and some of the deeper engagement with america's and you know, imperial ambitions. but i think he also is probably keeping one eye, at least on, on the, the, the recollection of what happened with a gulf with love in a previous labor government that was essentially taken out by the united states for being too progressive at home. and given the focus that the united states has on, on the opposing china, now, he has to be careful not to become too friendly to china. and you know,

at the risk of provoking some sort of either overt or clandestine intervention by the united states. that could, the challenge is, is political liability of this fight ozzy m p is calling this ball with china quote, a stabilization of ties rather than a reset trade between these 2 states had been booming since their w t o spat over barley tariffs, that the chinese impose during the pandemic as early as exports to china surge to record highs back in this march accounting for 12.7. $1000000000.00 us dollars. that's up 31 percent from the year before. the chinese have purchased huge volumes of iron or, and coal from australia, lifting their band on ozzy coal earlier this year. now some of the west are suspicious of beijing's new purchases from kind of our, a choosing china, of sort of buying their way into diplomacy. what do you say to that?

that's well, i, i think that that's, that's a, that's a pretty self serving interpretation. i mean, really what's, what's going on in the, in the world as a whole is that there's, there's this sort of deep structural reconfiguration of the global economy taking place. that, that the, the monopoly that was held by the, the sort of north atlantics core western europe and north america. since the industrial revolution, you know, on, on the modern technologies of production that allowed them to reconfigure the world in a way that was focused on them and subordinated everybody else to be either sources of raw materials or markets for manufactured goods. that areas is over. you know, the to productive technologies have been diffused around the world and in various ways. and countries like china, but not only china are now not only sort of catching up with, with modern production from the west, but, you know,

baiting and creating new technologies on their own. and so we're, we've moved beyond that period, the, not just the period of western colonialism and west to impair imperialism, but the domination of the economy by those core countries in, in the west. so that's just, that's just a deep changing reality. and what that means is that trade with china, for a country like australia, which has, you know, the commodities that, that china needs and wants and, and has things that it wants to buy from china. this is just a logical development. and for that to be a growing component of australia as economy, australia is international trade. it is just common sense. and so to look at it sort of cynically and say all of the chinese arriving yesterday. and that's, that's really just so it's simply a manifestation of the changing realities of a now emergent multi polar world, where the united states and it's, it's allies in, in western gear are no longer the dominant center, you know, but it's, it's,

it's something that they're not happy about the, the americans and their, their, their allies. but this is, this is just the change that's, that's going to take place. this is going to continue to one folders as the years and decades from now go forward and scale. yeah, i think will do best for itself if it tries to, to pursue a path that allows it to, to, to profit in a sense from that change you know, find is old position with in this new multi polar world. rather than just tying its fortunes to, you know.
