7:06 pm
lots leave on age. if you look at the opportunities of domestic individuals, then this is out that the country can also live with these structures for every single day, you know, senior development of stripes outside, someone just to get us. that's the future. you don't take it by force, you've lost, you can always try, you know, just continue from, from, from, from where the, you know, to pick it up. you can really take back what you've lost. get to another headline story. it's been almost 2 months since the start of key of countries offensive in the ukranian conflict and things have not been going quite as planned. i'm going to struggle to make headway the armed forces of ukraine, unless the government officials in the west are not changing their tune with someone who previously supported kids military endeavors. losing faith as a member of congress go, chair of the congressional ukraine caucus and the son of
7:07 pm
a ukrainian immigrant who fled. so if you tyranny, i will continue to work to support them in their fight for freedom and self determination. this war must end and with our support and the support of the free world, ukraine will win the fight for liberty over tyranny. i'm not sure it's winnable anymore. if there is, how many cherry and moneys know military monies or mail it to me money without an inspector general, i'm not supporting it. billions of dollars of additional western military aid have failed to bring up hard victories for it to you. of an after a series of inconclusive assaults, ukraine's objective to reach the key city of mili topple in these up. but it was your region noticing on the feasible, the determining factor, appearing to be the quality of russian defenses. however, key of this appointment is hardly surprising. as western officials have predicted, similar before they even began. but in the 1st week of flight, the ukraine incurred major casualties against russia as well prepared defenses.
7:08 pm
despite having a range of newly acquired western equipment joined for games conducted by the us. british and ukrainian military's anticipated such losses. but invasion keeps accepting the casualties as the costs of bruce and 2 of russia's main defensive lines said us, and western officials, all the of the supply of lisa weapons continues to flow. 60 of copenhagen's defense ministers saves the us, has given the green light to deliveries of f. 16 fighter jets to ukraine from denmark. i'm the netherlands after pilot training is completed the truth, which is due to start this month. but the danish administer sees the program won't bear fruits until next year. we spoke with former un special commission weapons inspector scott ritter. he said he's up despite the men's natal assistance to be a few cleaners simply losing soldiers and that lowers the chances of achieving its goals in the country of offense. when this conflict started, they had a very highly trained military of nato and spent from 2015 until 2022.
7:09 pm
you know, training of 500 men every 55 days to nato standards. and uh, what, what your train said is, give us the equipment we need now give it to us upfront, give us the equipment that these well trained troops can use. but that didn't happen. and what we saw is that the ukraine army was depleted of manpower. it was rebuilt by nato depleted rebuild depleted. you can only rebuild so many times before the quality of the manpower is so diminished that it doesn't matter what the quality of the equipment is. we're at that point right now where it doesn't matter what weapon re ukraine receives their army is no longer capable of absorbing this equipment and using this equipment effectively on a modern field of battle. meanwhile, russia has troops that are extraordinary, well trained, extraordinary, well, lead, extraordinarily well equipped the out class, the ukrainian military in every way,
7:10 pm
shape and form. you can't reverse this a trajectory. russia is on a trajectory of inevitable victory, and there's nothing in the west can do to change this. and that's the reality. the people are suddenly coming to, it doesn't matter about how many more tanks you gave, what kind of tanks you give ukrainian soldier right now. is incapable of receiving these tags and using these tags effectively on a modern battlefield. richard, also a heading, a program this our former friendship president nicholas start close. declare is key of desire to take pride. me a is doing district here. i literally need just further bloodshed, statements out of oakside raging ukraine's government. we've been ex 3 and we're coming down this president has lost all its out the world banks decision to cut off financial aid to the country following recent up the l. g. b t legislation saying the west is trying to intimidate his nation. some of these
7:11 pm
imperialist actors are insufferable. you have to work hard to restrain yourself from exploding with anger. they're so shallow, they do not know when and where to stop. well, that's breakdown what's happening then. the world bank has cut funding to you. can the infrastructure projects further provoking financial hardship in the east african country? as a consequence compile, i was obliged to revise its budget to account for the loss of financing, resulting in the biggest currency the valuation in almost 8 years. the world bank said the move was in order to prevent discrimination in projects that funds. however, according to you can the next, the bas such restrictions me inside the wave of anger against the l g. b, t minority in the nation. 8 costs with great war backlash for the gate community in the country. because you guidance with ben, blame the community. in fact, our position has always been that 8 gods, what effect all your guidance,
7:12 pm
including the gay community itself? logically, it does not make sense. what we have always preferred. our target and sanctions. uganda is on t l t t. laws are widely considered to be some of the harshest in the world. same sex relations can be punished by life imprisonment while the death penalty can be imposed for i'd were fated homosexuality that term, which is defined a same sex relations involving h i v positive people or adult to child. the world bank funding freeze is not the only consequence that you've done the is facing or rich the find spent earlier . the us and post travel restrictions on uganda and officials with us present to bite and threatening. ready investment codes submit other sections, multiple western countries on you and x, for example, for contemptible. we are mixed opinions of both the contentious issue from locals and you can this could be
7:13 pm
a way not so much to use the home until almost the shows are low. as a result of the projects, but must be this trouble. uganda is going to highlight with quote unquote the wrong countries here on the russians who run the comes survive. what would require to build the site to me that's. busy a strain on the society. so the government, this content on the very high, you've unemployment rate. it would be a price for a country. you got the country that's got new money or just the old cost of getting that assumption that we have. like our daughter zoom sick stuff now not to have a lawyer that does the developing you for that money is under the video where you're going to go without and the needs of and the loan later to be that knows what, i'm, what the fund weatherbug we are for we went to the sport to begin, let's see, we are not producing anything with the big gun. does it come to the state of sustaining? but we, i'm not, this is the wrong thing. i think again,
7:14 pm
is one of those tensions that have defended. so much as passive, so upset presidencies which i'm not sure what time he already doing that even with the loans. just imagine without the fuse on the streets of compel a while, a spokesman for uganda is finance. ministry shared his government's view with r t. he also said you've done things will maintain their own beliefs regardless of any external pressure the decision it is aimed at the future. ready projects we have funding had already been completed all the way funding is ongoing exchange planning going forward, so you have to be there but a lot of resources to try and bridge the gaps that are getting the full that is spoken about is um, once they've talked to one or 2 days and a little bit of them. um, things of stipulation, yes indeed. the public, the public has been to the effect of it in the system. but i think of the
7:15 pm
government of the present state where you want to go to one that it use of. ready so that's us, this negative impact is not uh, widespread and like it's not felt by that you've been on this obviously come up to the of us. there was also another evidence which could be on the health 6 the well we the light, the load on the mendocino, you know, mid sea is the perfect us operators. that's come be a lot of muscle that it's from the west on the these goods. ok, sorry, i did try not because i'm part of the finally get no one back. how's it going to? what's the the case? all right. we had done, started engaging, is the remote today goals for those who have started, we can get you through to a friendly buttons include the china on the box as is the most of it to us man is quite big, kind of is across the us. let's do the ends of insurance,
7:16 pm
a professional, and then i'll lead into a stand by and so this is what we are as a country. this is we are cottage on the conditions. this is the new system. this is what has done for. so we've been able to top level respects that one cannot say about this is an old tax degree. the see this, this is a low that i get it up to you to call them this. ready we have very good resilience problem doesn't say on uh this is just a box in the whole process. i believe we the status of the, of the, of the news to tell you about today. american president joe biden has hosted a try latrell summit's with the leaders of japan. i'm side korea is country retreat comp. david in the us state of maryland. and i made increasing tensions with china and north korea. the 3 leaders have by to greatly strengthen their electric capabilities to 1st we're elevating our try lateral defense collaboration to
7:17 pm
deliver and you know, pacific region that includes launching annual multi domain military exercises. bringing our try lateral defense, cooperation, or non pressure then levels. and critically critically, we've all committed to swiftly consult with each other in response to threats to any one of our countries from whatever source that occurs. level leaders put out a statement, and in that statement they mostly just emphasize cooperation in the asia pacific region. now they did not directly call out china as an adversary, though they did condemn some of china's maritime activities. now they did specifically single out north korea saying that north korea represents a security threats. uh, there are 3 of violate human rights. however, it's worth noting that north korea has accused the united states of war mongering activities that could escalate tensions that lead to death and also has accused the
7:18 pm
united states of violating human rights. in fact, they say that the soldier from the united states, travis can, and recently defected to north korea, did. so because of the racism that is embedded in the us society that he's suffered in the us armed forces. now, recently the north korean foreign minister was in moscow and he emphasized the danger of active war on the korean peninsula is real new for you who owns the putting on can insurance, has now become not depression or read a lot of question, love of who then when a new be a will many of the us and the poppy solve the republican courtier is now turning do credentialing, fluid, and didn't know if these fisher into a new flesh pouring or when you create a wall or you've shrink to the crypt color. the staging domain dizziness and veteran being joby with just once all of us enjoyed religion is by what are some
7:19 pm
and for right now the leaders of south korea and the united states have both said that now they are willing to meet with north korea is leaders to discuss the nuclear ization without any preconditions. and at this point we do have words from joe biden that were delivered at the summit at the gathering. joe biden spoke about the ukraine conflict and emphasize why it's an example of why the united states needs to be involved around the world. and well by did not specifically target china. when making his case, we're just defying you as involvement in the conflict in the ukraine. you reference the situation on cy want. imagine if we done nothing and the point was immediately recognized, if i'm not mistaken by you. which department is that? where in a situation where it could happen any solutions which stood still what signal that
7:20 pm
said the china about taiwan was saying, what i'd say around the world. now, when joe biden was asked about his son hunter and roger biden's ties to ukraine in terms of business dealings, he refused to give any comment. a ukrainian presidential adviser has accused former french liter nicholas circles the of using quote, criminal logic for suggesting that crime you remain under russian control. the training official made the comments after mr. so close. he said that returning the financial that you gave would only fuel more on conflicts offering her view. here's archie contributor rachel marston. well, hey, let's get ready to rumble. once again, ukraine is taking on another member of the unity fight club. this time it's a punch up between france and ukraine. last week. it was poland, former friends, president people a stuff because he has been virtually on the present here in the countries press
7:21 pm
this week. he's promoting his new booklet comes out next week in which he revisit some key challenges in combat of his presidency. and what's been making the headlines here more than anything else has he does the media around the circles? he's position on russia and ukraine. no one has ever had to guess what we call a self cosy, really things, and that's not going to change now. and it's that blunt, this applies of the situation in ukraine that really set off one of ukraine's drama queens. so what exactly did stuff was the say when it comes to this territory, which was russian until 1954 and where a majority of the population has always felt russian. i think any step back is illusory, if the ukrainians did not completely managed win them back then the choice will be between the pros and conflicts which we know will inevitably lead tomorrow to any hot conflict. or we can come out and tell by resorting again to a friend, i'm a strictly supervisor, but the international community to settled these to rhetorical questions in a definitive way, the french president pointed out the crimea edits,
7:22 pm
people were historically russian until 1954 that its population always felt russian, and that a return to anything else would just be illusory. the said, he also said that europe needs russia. russia is a neighbor of europe and will remain so in this regard, european interests are not aligned with american interest. we cannot stick to the strange idea of fighting a world without fighting self co also asked why is it so hard to admit that ukraine really needs to just stay neutral, adding that numerous political leaders think yet and talk about it in the back rooms, but they just don't see it out loud. he said that an exit route should have been found for the free conflict and it's very upset. and that front as president a menu, a black hole did indeed try that roots but then gave into pressure from eastern european countries. he also added that now that the west finds itself stuck in the quote strange state of making more without really making more, which of course,
7:23 pm
the west says it isn't doing it all despite sending weapons constantly. so basically south who is making the rounds of the french press and commanding headlines as a one man wrecking ball against the conventional narrative when it comes to ukraine . the same establishment narrative that the e u is so desperate to protect that they ban platforms like r t that allow in platform these alternative facts and analysis to the conventional narrative. but what are they going to do blacklist or french president? well, i guess your credit is going to try at least bullying him. good luck with that because some who basically thrive on this kind of thing. it really didn't take long for one that you creating present environmental, excuse top, advisors to lash out a soft cozy. fantastic criminal, logical form, or french president, you call us or kazi, and we should justifies rushes. war of aggression has once again exposed one of the fundamental causes of today's war. it wasn't encouragement of the western leaders of putting criminal plans to cease to foreign lands in 2008,
7:24 pm
and especially in 2014 that contributed to the beginning of a full scale aggression in europe and the mass motor or fee. currently it's sort because these encouragement is a direct complicity in the years long crime. all right, so it was a crimea remark to set him off because he's referencing 2014, but he's also talking about 2008. what happened there? well suck was the himself took a lead role in the george in war in 2008 and helping to secure peace in the wake of natives efforts to use that conflict, the saddle up to rushes forward or they're like they did with ukraine. and so he stepped in and supported, guaranteed for russia, it was made, did it present the time for both france and the you and did you it was that georgia and its western allies would pull back if russ i did as well. and this is a link to the advisor things that asked of piece making is genocide. but it's not the 1st time that team ukraine has overreacted to a deviation from their narrative, what cynicism and lack of tact,
7:25 pm
not representative of the friendly people of france. i demand an apology to my president and my people of ukraine. it doesn't sound very statesmanlike to behave like an offended liber sausage. unfortunately, we're not getting as much as we need. if we got jets and enough heavy argument vehicles, the necessary artillery will be able to fulfill our tasks holes hundreds of thank you. are not hundreds of dense so side all totally cool and shell. speaking of which nato secretary general insulting berg just said this week that they will keep flooding ukraine with weapons. that is until t f is ready for peace until they're ready for peace, given how angry gets at the mere thought of peace. you have to hope that really this is just one of the situations where stolen bird is kind of like the parent who gives the particular tighter toy wheel in the back seat of the car. just to make
7:26 pm
him think that he's actually driving. because if they are actually in charge castillo, this is going to work out. the ukraine is taking a heightened interest enough for gap with a country's foreign minister and 19 plans to deepen ties with the confidence in an effort the country russian influence. we do not want to be a 2nd, russia, our strategy is not to replace russia but to liberate africa from russian rule. dimitry cooler, but also i choose rochelle, feigning support for africa cleaning. most of those withdrawal from the black sea green deal pups, the african continent, is adopts despite the mirror 3 percent of those you printing and shipments between countries at the very most at risk, including from, from in the line. sure. by the way, made its way to the you. we spoke to south african based you a political level of this and commentator to melinda and say, he's african nations can no longer be manipulated in their choice of economic
7:27 pm
partners. we have seen the change in the top where then you read the lead us. i no longer taking no, no, not waving their tap on being at least into the what's the deal is now a week from now you're going full toughness that are going to treat them as tight and i slept what advice that he's doing. so i also don't think this any of you can lead us except for those few applicant countries that are being hosted by the listed in the countries that will take such a comment by the front of me, mr. serious. um, it makes not that it makes no, it's a video for what kind of thinking and desperate moves that that's hiding. tune me for, push to tie in. just different lives to try and just put it on people's minds, but hopefully got that time for the west. it does not allow us to use
7:28 pm
any people who are going to follow the full steps of the founding for those who fell into the top of the west. and next sort of thing that um, that is a wrap. i hope we got you in the move for some further digging. if so r t dot com, it's a solid jumping off point. do check and i've met for not from the team myself. you know, the, the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings accept. we're so charters that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. the point obviously, is to great trust,
