so that the, the us use great foresight in sending weapons to ukraine months before the conflicts delegates. that's the take the view as secretary of state down to me blinking depending his track record increasing. the right cools they made on conflicts firing up around the world. we saw it coming, we were able to make sure that not only we prepare to knowledge and partners are prepared for that, that ukraine was prepared. we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine, to make sure that they had in hand what they needed to defend themselves. things like fingers travelling so they could use a russian correspondent is killed for other generations in j to off the back call was taped by ukraine, you've thrown on a genetic public flyway also ahead. our drone detector is

also constantly beeping. you can hear the sounds of explosions. we hear from a residential area reporting the don't last tape while you're quite new, cluster bombs, wounding, at least 10 people. the just go to game here and the russian capital, thanks very much for joining us on the weekly own, on the international with the latest news updates. i'm showing that the skate, but we're going to be to get now with some breaking news coming through. this is from the russian defense industry, the as a notes that ukraine in forces have attempted a breakthrough attack in the cost region using $2.00 tanks and 12. the vehicles they sold has reportedly being repelled the ministry saying jeff is last 340 sold just in the crisp region. that's a loan in the last 24 hours. we will of course, keep you updated as the details of much on this story. we're the defense ministry,

and that's it for says continue to retrieve from blind games after repelling 17 counter attacks. it took out to left the tanks. according to reports, ukraine has lost some 410 soldiers in the fighting, just that. meanwhile, the us secretary of state gave a recap, evaluating his and biden's time. this is joe biden's time and office claiming they made the right cool as well to senior correspondent. the more i guess the of breaks down the story is the world around us. well, bones is, or the renewal and security and the economies crumble the body ministrations foreign policy, my anthony blinking as asked us to pretend that everything's fine. she did a good job today, as i said with you. and as we look at the all of the terrain we've traveled these

last 4 years, i think we hand over in america in a much, much stronger position. having come through the economic crisis, having come through the health crisis. and having changed much for the better our position around the world because we've made those investments and analyzes and partnerships also was, could objectively be described as a catastrophic tom which, which began with disaster. and i've got to start until the, into this stuff every where mr. blinking strapped down with a journalist to give his side of the story on how everything went to his 1st. if you look at the trajectory of, of the conflict, because we saw it coming, we were able to make sure that not only were we prepared and allies and partners are prepared for that ukraine was prepared. so we made sure that well before the russian aggression happened, starting in september comp, the russian aggression happened in february, starting in september. and then again, december, we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine,

to make sure that they hadn't had what they needed to defend themselves, things like stingers traveling so that they could use, or, you know, attack the pro russian separate this in the don't boss of the top washer mr. blinking ultimately it needs was right. the us and they, the well pumping ukraine, photo guns and photo by mo, hard cool, militarize ation. russia has been talking about this for many years about the us and u. k. pumping ukraine with weapons about unless nato drills in the black sea violating russian borders about western military aircraft, getting dangerously close to civil plains and russian aerospace. that's exactly why one of the special military operations objectives is the d, militarization of ukraine to ensure our security miss the blink is of goals. and so his teeth from the stuff to the n. c as the u.

s. problems, ukraine full of guns. will they actually wanted? he tells us, is peace. i work very hard and the lead up to the war, including, you know, meetings with my russian counterpart surrogate lab rough in geneva, a couple of months before the war. trying to find a way to see if we could prevent it, trying to test the proposition, whether this was really about russia's concerns for its security concern. somehow about ukraine and the threat that posed or nato and the threat that it posed. and we were intentionally engaged diplomatically with russia, was a co when, since i was also that in geneva, full that need to i remember, well how russian journalist will bod from jew biden's press conference. but he took pre prepared questions. dave, pre prepared dogs, is to pre selected journalist a minutes, walk away. meanwhile,

vladimir approved with a loud journalist from over the us in europe to aust, whatever they bought, that i also distinctly remember the tools being an abject failure. because the united states refused to accept any of russia's concerns since then, had there been any opportunity to engage diplomatically in a way that could end the war on justin durable terms? we would have been the 1st to seize them. unfortunately, at least till this moment. we haven't seen any size. the rush has been genuinely prepared to engage. i hope that that changes the expression, the best describes least the brain can slide. the old version of it then sees is covering one's bought hooks. it's the blink. it's busy with fumbling every crisis coming his way. somehow for goss about rushes lets us in a to a 5. 0 boy, next stop expanding to was or out. the less a,

but they brought the law fast. we called forget the, the stumbled talks of 2022 that ukraine was, was ready to sign a piece deal with russia. russia was ready to give back him song and part of what was your regions. the same piece deal to the united kingdom, represented by know what output bars johnson sabotaged and convinced ukraine to pull out of this. the blink could forget that on one side of the african chinese piece initiative, which means the brain couldn't help to pay the. and on top of that is the blink of the soul of us. you let me idiots. that is essentially what he means when he says that russia doesn't want peace with us. you bring the body to nickel slowly, we have no pick conditions for starting negotiations. we are ready for a dialogue without pi conditions. but on the basis of what we agreed upon during

the negotiation processing the symbol in 2022, which i have already said a 100 times and also on the basis of the realities on the ground today. he said, and it got sort of squared away. speaking of realities on the ground, they were much better for you grade before someone gave mr blinking that job due to your time to underwear them. these are decisions for ukrainians to make the they have to decide where their future is and how they want to get there, where the line is drawn on the, on the map. at this point, i don't think it's fundamentally going to change very much. the real question is, can we make sure that you find is in a position you're looking for something that, that the, the areas that version controls you know, will have to be seated. seated is not the, the question. the question is, of the line, as a practical matter in the foreseeable future is unlikely to move very much. but if it starts this new credit and had a 1000000 more healthy and happy men who were well alive and well,

millions more in population vastly more territory. lou less on payable debts and much more optimism about the future. the half was ukraine before, but they couldn't buy them in bars, which would all sorts of disgusting things into the landscape is, as you knew, why? because it was never about ukraine. it's interesting. what i'm hearing you say is that you can say, well, no longer rest, and it's major support or the united states. you see it as resting, elsewhere, europe, etc. look, i hope very much. and i don't want to say expect, but i certainly hope very much that the, the united states will remain the vital support of that has been for ukraine. because again, this is, is not just about ukraine. it's never just been about u. k. it was always about nato, but because it's willing could be even mess that up off your average, you repeat,

or american, they feel safe or somehow a brilliant plan to the feet. russia and ukraine has turned into european prime ministers cooling and the citizens to make stashes of cab foods and the by the administration. guessing the problem. bill me, bill seemed from the american people during the election, the russians. but right now, no, it's gonna look like this. the ukraine has lots of warranty and is being directly used by the us as a battering ram against russia. almost immediately ukraine was turned into a testing ground for biological warfare experiments, and is now being pumped up with weapons. with lots of the anglo saxons are basically running the show controlling the rest of the collective west. they are using the current situation which they created through ukraine, this war against the russian federation. to remove competition, they see us as

a competitor pulling ticket. eventually remember how american senator lindsey graham previously commented on this. in september 2023, he referred to us assistance to ukraine as and i quote, a good investment for the american people. the celebrated that they were destroying the russian army without losing a single soldier. fridays, of course only one case study and failure. mister britton can manage stuff for the buffalo, but the fun, but we think the world flew at him. we were determined to do everything we could to help ensure that october 7th will never happen again. we also wanted to make sure that the war wouldn't spread. the conflict wouldn't, wouldn't spread to other fronts, to other countries because that would mean more death and destruction. it would also mean that the actions as are always taking and gaza were likely to enjoy or even longer. and i can come to that in a minute. 3rd, and we want it to make sure to the best of our ability that the children,

the women, the men in gaza, who were caught in the crossfire of a mazda as initiation. that they did nothing to start and were basically powerless to stop. whereas protected as possible and got the assistance they needed to survive this horrific conflict. and we've been working on each of those fronts every day since. where does one begin? pallet start tens of thousands of civilians. dead. millions displaced, cities raised is really hostages. north with on israel, who is the tax pilot, start lab, and on iran, yemen, and his now virtually, i'm next you, but more of syria who was american supplied homes. the

bottom and blinking tub began with catastrophe. and i've got to stop which the outgoing secretary of state prize appraise, and he's interview, how did that early failure enough? gotta stand really change the sense. do you think that president fight and really had this under control that you had it under control? do damage america's credibility. at 1st i make no apologies for ending america's longest war. this, i think is a signal achievement of the presidents. i think the question was what, what were you going to do moving forward from the withdrawal? we also have to learn lessons from afghanistan itself, here at the state department, one of the things that i ordered almost immediately was an after action review to try to make sure that we understood what are we gotten right also, what are we gotten wrong track? we've actually put into practice many of those recommendations in subsequent prices

that we have to face, whether it was an 11 on whether it was an israel, whether it was in sudan, all of that we brought to bear based on the lessons that we've learned from afghanistan, i was back at the top, you will, so remember we will for that. it was she really a to ask the tub the, the little that we knew that mr. blinking had much, much more applied. and what's tony worry is he still has 2 weeks to go. but i said to the dentist republic now, because

a russian correspondent has been cuban, ukrainian drain strike on a civilian call. the russian foreign ministry spokesman has demanded a response from the unesco chief. this is off to be, we're going to is ations, recent reports on the and security of doing this. working in one sense, ignore the multiple attacks on russian gen list in ukraine. the deliberate murder of russian journalists is another brutal crime and a series of bloody atrocities committed by zelinski is regime that openly resorts to terrorist methods to eliminate its ideological opponents. we demand that this brutal murder of a russian war correspondent receive a proper response from audrey as away as prescribed by her mandate. we also expect an equally strong condemnation of this atrocity from all other human rights organizations and structures. but at least for the journalists were wounded when the you are the hit, the vehicle in which the killed the war correspondent was a traveling. now the need to agree was returning from filming the off them off of

cabs attacked some goal of cut north of denette city. are these women costs are of is in the area. she knew the victim well and i had spoken to him just shortly before that tragedy struck as the name of my friends is had examined or marked to me. i know if we were together a miss town of gore lift earlier in the morning where 10 civilians were wounded that the results of ukrainian attack they attacked visit your goal of god with the fluff for shells. and uh, like i said, okay, people were going to, it's, and alexander and i, and all the reporters were on the scene recording everything that happened to mind you, there was not a single military sites in vision, alexander and i, uh, spoke shortly before we left the scene,

he was advising me on which route to take this to get out of golf. guy ends up moved to done. this was because she was up with you for the shut off the truck was supposed to pay for the you just said she just did that with me before just by me, just the transmission was for some interest on the december just i was just gonna point out, so the rehearsal there was a personal thing, let us know. i did not listen to him because i had my own roots in mines and i folded my own roots and were left in just a few hours ago. i found out that the route that she advised to be on uh the one date, so they were sheltered by ukrainian drones. and as a result, reporter has now been that killed alexander. and he's been working here in the boss

since 2014, just in 2023. he was heavily wounded. both of his feet more severely damaged, but nevertheless, he the great sir and to work to cover everything is going on here and on boss. just like you had is 2014 since the very beginning of the ukrainian aggression. it's still unbelievable for me to be talking about him in the past tense because just a little bit earlier today we were arguing and because we haven't seen each other for a while, we were in the city of gore looked at because we were covering hits and other atrocity by the ukranian medicines who attacked purely who was eventually a neighborhood. i suggest you take

a look at our report that we filed this afternoon. you create in minutes and use cluster munitions to strike one of the residential areas of gore, lift gate as the result. and people who are, who is it and are now being treated at austin. so now 6 of those people were who did arrive here at the entrance to the supermarket. now this reg took place at around 10 o'clock in the morning on saturday. that means story already quite a few people at the supermarket. for those to know the south of the moon and moving coming drones and showing with cluster munitions while people were going to buy bread and know there were sun shows the show and began in close to moms land and need to shop the one to do rushed inside and we promoted 1st state bank holding ambulance. as you can see, this is a purely a residential neighborhood that was struck by ukrainian minutes in style. far from the people that will more than several cars,

more also damaged as the result of the shedding. once again, ukraine hughes cluster munitions prohibited in full most of the civilized world, but they had been using it against civilians here. goal of come for many, many years. and this place once again is absolutely residential and there are absolutely no minutes or resides here. i wasn't home when i go to called about the shell and i went out to see what happened. look, there's one car, there is another. there's a $31.00, the windows i shouted just the civilians here. the metro left a long time ago. another strike took place while we were working in this neighborhood, whole of god. as you can see, a private car for the just saw it was on fire. but for a man, how are here trying to? well, they're already extinguish to the far it, but so once again,

this is purely residential area. now there's an ambulance behind me here to be in the way it was a form in your hands. they're picking up a couple of this, some of this apartment building the, the local control center here in, nor let's go with the front why the korean minutes ends. at 10 o'clock in the morning the you create a show when it was for the roof and went down into the basement to destroy in force of the building. now, judging by the show fragments that i found, this is 155. i'm going to meet or show from and artillery rounds at a force. the side will show can only be made by nasal countries. this cultural

sensor is usually visited by a dozens of kids who go to various clubs like boxing, dancing, and what have you. but on this day, miraculously, there was no one here and there were no casualties. i don't know how they pick their targets. they're simply shooting it civilians. there are no soldiers here. this is a sole cold bill. this is the remainder of the cluster, munitions that ukrainians used against civilian population here and then boss. and these kind of things are actually all over the place here. now it's so we're not going to get any closer to that because it can explode at any moments. now, thankfully, there are no people outside at the moment, and of course, local kids, no fee will. these types of munitions can not ever be touched while we've been working here in goal of cause shit and continues. non stop. our drone detector is also constantly beeping. you're going to hear the sounds of explosion,

stanza. this is what people hearing go. look, i have been living with every single day, and of course they like everybody else and russia are hoping that this conflicts will soon come to an end from one call from ortiz, or look at the natural form. like let's say with this story now close live to. yeah, and this put to go in and here's the finish at chief, editor of and they left the news outlet. thanks for joining us on all the international. uh no. the journalist from russia killed in the ukraine conflict, there's been no response from the international community, no response, and she lin rights organizations. why the silence over this case? why the size of the terrible last as these 2040 the saucer was one of the main join. at least we're providing the color. it's

you to see where you're gonna destruction is is 2014. and i know in, well we, everybody here in columbus not knew him because he was always on the right foot and he was seeking lowest choose trying to show that the world that the one is really going on without man is like, she wouldn't know all those places seeing those videos from the day or for media for me and i would, i understood where the, the, the strike was sheet. this is a rule which are used quite frequently to not, not being close to the front line and on. so i'm just wondering that these have to be a targeted dealing was a group of june always. she was to the big thing, but manual was wounded and there is no other explanation of how he

could be killed on that highway. it's far away from the front line. it means that there's been some breach on the security where he's somehow, oh, he's moment was track it and she was killed. and or it's so unfortunate. murder, also good my and honest man. so exciting stuff. yeah it, it seems to have hit you and a number of other individuals who knew him well, a pushing you hard. how would you like people to remember sasha? i think we should remember the piece, a lot of slides. i think the the honesty of his work of the vantage. i mean it strikes to know what's happening because he was there with the camera run. he was providing the information to everyone that these kind of atrocities had happened. and certainly it has been the lead meeting

of the destruction in general. we don't know how many lives she have said, but i think we are talking about at least 4 numbers. i don't know which the possible do to understand the value of the truth of sorted. all these kind of re reckless attacks create consequences, at least do some level. and the russian world at least knows what's really going on here in dumas. she's 2014 steve mix people to understand why the dimension was to help. and yeah, just going to give you a limit to compose yourself because really this, this does seem to have helped you quite badly. and i can understand that. i mean, sasha is one of many during list to have been killed in was the ins and there was

a report that came out just a few months ago. this was from the nest goes director general audrey as the la who reported on those who killed in 2024. now that report failed to mention a number of russian correspondence. i think i need to mention didn't the entire report. what's your take on that? is it a different way that the bodies, like you nice can look at the desk suppression journalists would be the thing. here's where do i have be here in doing this, the covering the, to the pro steve. and so i think unfortunately, we cannot already open the cemetery for jo noise and that is totally what or i'm sorry, low take a moment. i also need to think what role do i really use tomorrow when i have a drive to doing it? this is a decent hot strikes. of course,

they don't prevent us from doing our job. it doesn't. the truth needs to prevail and the toothpaste be protected. but just so unfair that the truth is salt, something salt, very little salt for some forces in the world that they do everything. what the is in their hands to prevent the 2 to come out. but i think that to sort of disrupt and so many are there before. if you will do international community has forgotten and wants to forget, we will continue to flight to choose and we will develop. well i think i many people will continue to say to people like sasha will be seen as a beacon of the truth at thank you for joining us there. clearly what is a very difficult time for you? that's janice continues to finish editor chief ed itself and relaxed state news at like a really appreciate your time today. thank you. a lot going us president

joe biden has awarded the country's highest civilian on a to 19 people. but his choice of laura, it says, raised plenty of questions while tech type to new old musk, simply called the white test. certainly, quote, a travesty you for joining us this 14 and payments celebrities to receive the presidential medal of freedom of democrats store. what here is the re, clinton and also philanthropist george soros 95 year old 1000000000 that has quite a controversial track record being blamed for in publishing countries. why attacking that currencies and attempting global regime change. but us human and labor, right? fluid done come all like says the presidential matter of freedom has become an ideological to the return. people are being given. this metal for supporting america's aggressive wars. the presidential medal of freedom is becoming

more of that more of a reward for, for the, you know, india, logical alignment of, of people with whatever administration is in power at the time. it's been a complete disaster for the united states. these wars and for the world but buys is decided to award. someone who, you know, promotes these types of wars. very strange. hillary clinton is someone who has supported some of the worst u. s. foreign policy decisions. she was really one of the key intellectual authors of the natal operation against libya in 2011, which we moved mo, market off the wrong. my remember when she was told live on air, the kid off he was killed. she laughed and said uh we came, we saw he died in of course.
