top stories of the day end of the week. it's time for the traditional sunday weekly program here on out to you to the face off with the julian hassan. that remains in the balance judge is that the case high school would have yet to make a ruling on his final appeal against extradition to the united states. the way he these founder is, wanted states, side by publishing, secret military and diplomatic files. and then in from us, the video of an apache attacked shop, a gunning down civilians in cold blood. if convicted a sanchez facing 175 years in prison. for the protesters or crowd outside the court in london, demanding the immediate release of the 52 year old australian sondors was reportedly feeling on well preventing him from appearing at the hearing. on tuesday . it's close. family members joined a make shift stage outside the building. they say he's being persecuted simply
9:02 am
telling the truth how to set up the us pace is online because they say don't questing these lines because that will defend our allies. they have to admit that what they're doing is criminalizing journalism is personalizing literally, and they're persecuting the journalist who expose them. julia has over 14 years in one form of incarceration, or end of youth with all of julian's human rights suspended. are you good with you? this afternoon,
9:03 am
no idea of announce warranties of steve sweeney. he's been standing by outside the high court in london where the appeal hearing was taking place, not just behind closed doors, but actually as we understand and potentially the smallest core from in the entire building. the we've not reached the end of the 2 day co, henry st. interior data. so i'll just pretend to expedition to the united states where he said 175 years in prison under the espionage ok. now his defense team, his lawyers, all heating cold that say the just isn't the original case, have not taken properly into consideration other legit call cool stopping the white house, the with the say i to assassinate the service owns on the streets of london. they said that this call serious bounce over the assurances given by the united states about his health and wellbeing. should he be expedited at these assurances have been dismissed by obviously international as not worth the paper that they all written on. now they're saying that there are
9:04 am
a speak to taking place now behind it from a, a range of a sound. you suppose, as we've heard about, the judges have deferred that decision, that not taking the decision space. so the verdict will be announced a late today to we're hearing that that could possibly be more so forth. but of course, we'll keep you updated with the latest using developments as we get and with this hodges extradition baffled by entering the final straight. a former us intelligence officer and the host of the whistle blowers program. john kerry echo is worried. if indeed the we can least co founder is convicted. it'll endanger it. any journalist to try to do that job. and that is to expose well uncomfortable truths. i think that the, that the role that assigns you and what can be explained in the, in the reporting, the war largest reporting in afghanistan and iraq was positively heroic. we wouldn't have any idea what the american government was doing, ostensibly, in our name, in the name of the american people,
9:05 am
had wiki leaks not told us. we wouldn't know the details of war crimes and crimes against humanity that were committed by american soldiers and uh, and service men. so we'll, we can leaks it a debt of thanks a debt of gratitude for telling us what our government was doing. that's why i believe that said juliet assigned you and we can each should be celebrated, not prosecuted, not targeted, not assassinated in broad daylight in the streets of london. this is something that all americans should get behind is perfectly something that all american media outlets should get behind and they have not yet done. so if juliet assigned is convicted, then every national security journalist in america is liable to be prosecuted under the espionage. they're not committing espn, i, they're committing journalism. so what's the goal there? is the goal to lock up your journalists in direct contravention of the constitution
9:06 am
. the justice department has become, is to vociferous candidates in its attempts to go after people that they deem to be leakers. now i think where the justice department is in danger of losing the case is they've also accused julian, a subject computer hacking. and there's literally no evidence that he asked anybody to hack into anything. i think it's clear that julian is a publisher and a journalist and that's what's going to come out at trial. i'm sorry to say that i don't believe anybody will be brought to justice. the decisions have already been made, for example, not to prosecute the, the army personnel involved in the killing of reuters journalist and iraqi civilians in baghdad in what became known as the iraq war video, the, the, the killing video. now the statute of limitations has expired. similarly,
9:07 am
for higher ranking military officials, people at the general officer level, they've committed war crimes and they haven't been prosecuted for those war crimes . now we've gone through another what 3 presidents, if they haven't been prosecuted by now, they won't be prosecuted. and while the western leaders have been the crying of the loss of the russian political activist alexis, of all the courting of a hero, i certainly haven't shown any such sentiment towards beauty. and i saw a person who continues to risk his life for the freedom of the press that someone a be bravely stood up, the corruption, the violence, all the bad things if you have them arrested. the prosecutor for fabricated crimes. he says that the prison is held with nice solutions in prison, who is
9:08 am
a powerful voice for the truth. the alexis of all me, has been a brave leader who stood up against corruption and talk or sing. he died for which he dedicated his whole life. freedom, the world has lost freedom fighters are they said nobody was a reminder of extraordinary brutality at his government.
9:09 am
the, i would argue that it's closer to me in the high tech terrorist aside is a narcissist who was created nothing of value utilize on the dirty work of others to make himself famous. he has to answer for wedding how it has done to disguise a trade or a treasonous. i'm not for the debt certainly. so if i'm not the only way to do it illegally shoot this unable or the far right out to box the out here and most go about as russian forces are advancing
9:10 am
along the battlefield. and if now taking a key location into, for a southern region, that's according to the nation's defense minister in his report to the russian president. i'm going to issue the village of cranky has been cleared. our forces are standing all along the river bank. it's not just an observation point. our troops are stationed there, operating at maximum efficiency and some individual enemies soldiers remain on the left bank of the deep river. we are working on that they are being offered a chance to surrender. well, this comes out, just a is off the rush or analysis. it had captured the guy in the don't ask republic. i said he would try being under the control of kids forces for almost a decade in the battle for the strategic area. took many months before a chaotic retreat by ukrainian forces and as keeps troops left the city, they abandoned the ammo, stockpiles, and all the western supplied weapons of war. among them i, that's right. there was a us made on that personnel carrier, it's a trophy now being towed away. a 2 such vehicles at least have been recovered enough to advocate so fine. now must go says key. i have lost nearly 3000 soldiers
9:11 am
during its retreat. rough and 4th, as also i took back the main water filtration plant which supplies a number of cities in the republic, including the regional capital done yet. and with this exclusive report on the ground is all these eager to start off. so this is the, the net school to filtering plots and until early 2022, it used to provide fresh would say to used to provide access to fresh water for the entire city in early 2020, to kind of switch sides. it used to be in the grey zone, kind of the no man's land according to the mask agreements and the ukrainians. they were the 1st to gain a foothold here. the 1st thing they did, the 1st order of business for them here was to deny was to strip citizens of the nets of something as basic as the right as the access to tap water. the station hasn't been a safe place for years. it's operating company would have to repeatedly implement
9:12 am
shut downs to ensure workers safety back then all hopes were pinned on the o is see, and it's you and back to monitoring mission and experience making skills. now the stations that provided water for over a 1000000 people looks like this. the you to call was that we took your of the read the scripture on the wall left by the unit to enter the detached tree of the batted station. fast, little because we're no significant battles here,
9:13 am
but it's an interesting story. we're preparing for the salt and how to make our way through the tunnels. here. in the end, everything happens so spontaneously with our drill and dropped the leaflets calling for surrender in the red. we will kill you and had the phone number of our division commander. they called and said that they wanted to surrender. we gave them half an hour. so we jumped out of their positions and then a chain reaction began them. then emmys fled from of they ask of that is there were no harsh clashes. they simply fled and were shot as they ran away, throwing their weapons to lucy's, as it won't be sued. until this facility will be able to pump water to people's kitchens and bathrooms, ukraine still holds hostage the river of saber ski. the next. the main water supply of the don't pass rusher has to claim control over its upstream too. so the issue, clues of black smoke rising on the horizon show that it is doing just that. how much is done of the protein from the dog boss oxy?
9:14 am
before my senior security policy analyst at the pentagon, michael miller, if he says that the last of that difficult could mock a rubel combined with a point of no return on the whole field for ukraine, i have to ask a is a turning point. it's the beginning of what i would see as a cascading effect of a russian offensive to finally route ukrainians out of a areas that they've long held. and they, they are totally on the defensive now. and if you hit in a number of areas, at the same time, it disperses their, their concentration of forces even more. and because they're already depleted, and they claim to have little of every emission, uh, this makes their task even more arduous. i think people are seeing that with the have the skin and everything else that they're just going to be throwing good money after bad and, and make that even the europeans of seamless. now,
9:15 am
they're having hard time, even nato countries are having a hard time coming up with funds to give to the, to do to buy equipment for ukraine. the congress isn't coming back for almost 2 weeks. and when it comes back on the 28th february on march, 15th partial is going to be a partial shutdown of the us government. because congress will only have 3 days to, to come up with any kind of funding if there's to be any before parts of the government shutdown. so the congress, the, the, the funding of ukraine is not the highest priority right now. in the us, congress made a rush as battlefield gains. it seems as an increasing loss of face among those believing ukraine can win a polls now showing increasing public support in the west and ukraine for a diplomatic solution. the autism or, and it costs a rep and how it brings it all to like that was kept failing to make any progress
9:16 am
on the front line more and more people are losing face and ukraine and the less ability to guarantee ross's defeats. and so they're suggesting a logical conclusion to this, to hear fatal fiasco a piece deal around 70 percent of americans want the bottom of the ministration. suppose she craved to negotiate with russia. only 10 percent of europeans believe that ukraine actually stands that trends way as almost 40 percent one piece talks as well. the majority of ukrainians themselves and $372.00 for science wants a diplomatic solution. now these numbers were very different a year ago when everyone was search and for some odd reason that ukraine would when, however, things change. an average of just 10 percent of europeans across 12 countries believe that ukraine will win twice as many expect a russian victory. this week,
9:17 am
confidence in ukraine's chances of victory is visible all over europe, poland, portugal and sweden are the most optimistic countries, but even they're only 17 percent of respondents believe ukraine will prevail. and in sweden, 19 percent think russia will. when of course, be born on the line, they know how much you are and the less i've sent the crime so far as they're not seeing any results from all those bailey is that could have been spawns at home, the world bank group, you were being commission and the united nations cabinets estimate that as of the 31st december 2023. the total cost of reconstruction and recovery ukraine is $486.00 bit in dollars over the next decade. up from $411000000000.00 estimated to juan diego. what's also interesting is that if before russia was perceived as a top threats by 27 countries, now it's not even in the top 3 as well. countries a done focus on their own problems. given the absolutely critical dependence of
9:18 am
ukraine on g 7, political, economic, and military support, this is worrying. it does not bode well for the ability of europe's political leaders to sustain the necessary public backing for continued aid transfers, voters in france and germany, for example, are significantly more concerned about mass migration and radical islamic terrorism . then putin's designs for ukraine, there's used to be a lot of talk about russia and vladimir foods and having to say phase, well now the roles have been rivers. i've listened the media. we're trying to figure out what is putin's off ramp? where does he get off? where does he find a way out? where does he find himself in a position that he does not? not only lose face, but lose significant power in russia? the no window lemme of doubling down on aid excepting a compromise deal scene is appeasement or facing the humiliation of a russian victory. zalinski may soon be forced out on account of the bloody battle
9:19 am
loss of div washington as long desired to bring about a change in leadership in russia. however, current developments suggest that a regime change may be more likely in kia of than in moscow. the desk of was a big blow and not only for kids, but also for its allies as it became clear to everyone that without their help ukraine can even hold onto its cities. a will probably lose more as they can guarantee additional age and time. but the west was sole certain ends, the beginning, even day dreaming about was the change in russia for god's sake. this man cannot remain power. water rebuild to see how much, what isolates in the russian regime right now. because we need to do something economically, politically, and diplomatically, and what the impact on society are. and how much was seen potential regime change in russia. from our standpoint up until the point where the current regime is not
9:20 am
in power, the country surrounding it will be to some extent in danger. not just putting but the whole regime because, you know, one might change prudent and changes in our circle, but another pollutant might rise into his place. all the tables have turned everything changed. russia is highly unlikely, but a new crane very possible. the top commander has been fired, american money, solid, and the soldiers are getting desperate. the, when the quote was, was low, he's losing the book. i've got one guy serving on the front line with the prosthetic leg up. so now what, i've got soldiers with level to disability level and some are even level 3. we also i've got a soldier with only one kidney asking what is left to do? well, hopefully a piece fail 10, come some live. it's just
9:21 am
a matter of convincing the was. so let go of control and ukraine and have kids do what is best for its country and know what washington wants. and here's a suggestion. reassessing current realities on the battlefield in this way will undoubtedly be seen as appeasement by some. but a more fitting analogy might be that of west germany in 1949. and even more so of south korea in 1953. both of which needed to establish internationally recognized voters in order to establish sovereignty in the face of hostile neighboring palace . of the challenge for ukraine and its western partners is to establish the equivalents of the korean peninsula associates power. though the main challenge for you crate and it's western partners is so 1st admit to themselves that this conflict is not going in their favor. so perhaps it's best to cut their losses and move on before driving the globe. and so world war 3, just because they didn't want to look like this sore losers. all right,
9:22 am
over to india, now have a look at these pictures as ships from russian. russia is a navy, the naval pacific fleet, i should say, arriving to take part in multi lateral naval drills. when you screens right now, you can see some of the war ships stuff in off of the one of the ports of india. set to take part in that exercise is titled midland 2024 and the visit of the russian sailors or pool for the last. for over a week, i must go send a missile cruiser and forget to join in the drill. to the horrifying final moments of a 6 year old girl and gaza had been vividly revealed. the palestine red crescent has released an audio recording of a forensic phone call. pleading for help of the idea of soldiers opened fire on the very cause she was travelling in last month of the as soon as i've had them in ha
