this is russia 24 and we continue to talk about the main thing for today. russian air defense forces shot down two atakam missiles and 74. ukrainian drones, destroyed launchers and a radar station of the american animal petriat, this is the ministry of defense data on the progress of the special operation. the center grouping of troops improved the tactical situation within 24 hours and repelled eight counterattacks. a unit of the west group of forces was defeated by the formation of the armed forces of ukraine in the kharkov region, dpr and lpr. the enemy lost more than 800 troops in these directions. well, more about the work groupings of troops for. west and north, now in

their area of ​​​​responsibility, a significant part of the kharkov region, the enemy is being beaten in the volchansk area, from where it is less than 20 km to belgorod shibekin, as well as a trap on the approach to the village of leptsy. losses in the ssu amounted to 185 militants from the kharkov region, report by our military correspondent evgeniy podubny. our film crew had just left the firing positions, where we observed the fighters of the group of troops. the north is destroying the enemy, in particular in leptsy in volchansk, and these are two sections of the kharkov direction where the most fierce fighting continues, it is worth noting that the kharkov direction remains one of the most intense in the entire zone of the special military operation, this is actually a battle for civilians of the belgorod region, the enemy daily strikes cities and towns, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the line of combat... contact as

a result of the successful actions of the north group of troops, the russian army was able to push the enemy closer to farkov and thereby to protect the region’s own belgorod regional center from attacks from czech-made vampire multiple launch rocket systems with cheap rocket ammunition, but at the same time the enemy continues to strike at shibekin, at graivara, but at other settlements that are in close proximity. from the border, therefore the battle in the kharkov direction is a battle for the inhabitants of belogorye, in fact there are heavy battles, the enemy is still, regardless of losses, trying to impose on our fighters counter battles, trying to fight counterattack actions are local and in volchansk in the leptsov region, while suffering heavy losses both in equipment and personnel, it is known... to the kharkov

direction, the formation of the kiev regime, they have now transferred the most combat-ready units and units that were both in reserve and were in other areas of the special military operation, our group is effectively, systematically destroying the enemy, in a few days, literally dozens of armored vehicles, which are now actually not on the front line, appears only sporadically in the zone of active hostilities, more... works in the rear, destroyed and enemy tanks that worked from closed firing positions, in this sense, but there is constant fire damage, and which is provided by our units , our reconnaissance units, which they identify targets and quickly destroy them, it is worth noting that from the moment the target is detected until the moment of fire damage, well, in general , a few minutes now pass, 3-5, no more, the situation is difficult and the fighting is heavy here, well...

to the extent approved by the management of the plant. hundreds of employees are already in the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, so at least they have already died, in kiev they are organizing raids right on the streets. read more margarita semenyuk. people, we live in a free land, ukraine, wonder if we go home.

only 25% of odessa residents have updated the credentials of those liable for military service, this result was shown by a survey on the official channel of the odessa city council, the rest are traditionally caught on the streets, the children's police are lawlessness, leave it alone, why are you lawless, odyssites surround the police squad, that's all recorded on the phone trying to save a man who... is wanted, and he is bleeding, eyewitnesses called an ambulance, and wait, where are you loading, the launch will soon examine, people were ready to stand as a human wall to block the road for the patrolmen, but the man taken away, it is obvious that after such detentions

odessa will become the first center of resistance to mobilization, the townspeople rush to help the victims, fight off people from the military commissars, and partisan detachments burn out the cars of the tsk, deputy prime minister.

controlled by the houthis, there are at least 80 people there injured, three died. israeli prime minister netanyahu said that the port is not a civilian facility and was used for military purposes, as a point of entry for weapons. and he noted that this is a direct response to the houthi drone attack in the center of tel aviv. then one person died and eight were injured. as for the port of hadeida, the fire there has not been extinguished; local media are still reporting that the targets of the attacks were power plants and diesel tanks. israeli aircraft attacked the city of adlu in southern lebanon. footage of the attacks is published on social networks. according to the national news agency, several civilians were injured. the highway between the major towns of siden tire is reported to be closed in both directions. russia and nicaragua are developing

relations in the spirit of strategic partnership, and major projects are being implemented in various fields. joint efforts in international affairs produce good results. vladimir speaks about this in his message. the issues we are discussing found their solution, and of course, there was a result. nicarago feels russia's support in all areas, said the country's president daniel ortega. he touched on the situation with ukraine, noting that nato will not be able to win.

by exacerbating the conflict, the alliance is only bringing its defeat closer. daniel ortega also condemned the sanctions imposed by western countries against russia. i dug up. “we would like to convey fraternal greetings to the comrades from the state duma and personally to president putin, we see leadership, we have always followed the leadership of russia and once again confirm the solidarity between our countries, we see a huge number of sanctions that nato countries have imposed on russia, and this by imposing sanctions, they showed their true colors, they showed themselves as bandits or gangsters. we watch to learn about the world, educational programs and documentaries . look, look, in the app or on the website, i'm glad you're here again, i'm glad to see you, you weren't far, not that far,

we worked together, we lived next to each other, amazing, how do you like your new life , quite good, okay, it was an adjustment, a few energetic months, "what did i say, i have to ask you, because i also worked for a long time television, but you worked in the news segment, preparing interviews and programs every day. for decades, given your vast knowledge, i just don't understand how the media in our line of work could look at the last biden-trump debate and say, "i just can't believe there's something wrong with him, that he's sick." or old or something like that, that he doesn't act like he used to. how could the people who interviewed him before not know this? i think this is a real opportunity to collect more ? data, carefully consider the problems. president biden and his decision to seek re-election. we already have some

data, there was a debate that you just mentioned, and people were very surprised by his behavior. and now we have the abc interview and its full transcript. i think the time has come when other media outlets that have interviewed the president over the past couple of years could publish a full synogram of those interviews. i think this makes sense because we will have a broader data set to evaluate. was this an isolated incident, as the white house claims, or were there previous signs of deterioration in health, were they obvious or were they subtle, and if they were obvious, why were they cut out? i think having this broader data set will really inform the public debate about the president's decision to continue the race, and there's quite a lot of data, i mean, i... knew biden, watched him, was around biden more 30 years old and i remember

my reaction in 2019 when he decided running for president, for the fourth time, i think, i thought, this is not the guy i knew, he's completely different, and then his sister told my friend that they were actually very upset because he had a cognitive impairment, he has some kind of neurological disease, they don't want him to run for president, i immediately told about it on fox, you reported it at the time, exactly? yeah, and then i showed the footage, like, look at this guy, and of course i was attacked and ignored, this was 5 years ago, i was not shocked by his performance, especially the debate, but other journalists seemed to be, or they were pretending, i don’t understand how someone who interviewed him two years ago can not know that is there something wrong. i think this is an opportunity to provide a broader set of data so that the public can make an independent assessment. what will this data look like? let's see what the printed versions of the interview say, do

they say that joe biden is consistent, is focused and gives thoughtful answers to questions, or perhaps he is struggling to stay on topic. we have transcripts. the news organizations that interviewed the president should have them. it is not customary to publish video excerpts from interviews, but you can publish a transcript. and i say this as the person who... released the transcript of my 2020 interview with president trump . i think publishing promotes transparency. this gives you a general overview of the interview. i think it has makes sense because there are other sections of the interview that your news organization might not consider. you know, kind of separately. i think you have a huge responsibility when you're talking to the president of the united states, probably the biggest newsmaker. ask him a question. that not only interests your news organization, but others as well, right? and finally,

i think the transcript allows you to supplement the edited version that you either publish or broadcast, right, because then the public can see those sections interviews that you have condensed or changed for clarity. right, so, i know i haven't thought about it enough, but i know that in 2015 or '16 the editorial board. met with trump they released an apparently unedited transcript that was chaotic, he has a bit of a jumbled speaking style, great characterization, yeah, not consistent, but you know, that's common knowledge, i think he's much better in front of the camera than on the transcripts , but whatever you think about it, they posted it, i don’t remember that in the last 4 year, some news organization posted a transcript of an interview with biden. and you? you know, i don't remember, but i didn't actually check them all. but what is the reason?

i guess what bothers me is that everyone is acting like it's a shock. it wasn't a shock to me, i don't have any special knowledge, i have some, i made it public right away, but every time i saw him it was very obvious that there was something wrong with this guy like this may have shocked journalists why they didn’t immediately announce this, but they they could, i think. it makes sense now, it's ultimately up to them, but i think it's about transparency, i think right now it's about informing the public whether the president is fit for office and... for clarity, to save time, so they can really add to their work, i think that's important, i can't say what their motivation is, in my case i felt it was important to post the transcript to let

people see the whole work, and it's also hard to look at your own transcript, because you look at it and say, oh, i could have focused more here, or i should have continued here, or i missed this little piece of news, i should have gone into a little more detail, or i shouldn't have interrupted here, you see some- then the shortcomings and the whole process, but it's about the honesty of the interview. you know, when you make edits, you do it for clarity, sometimes you do it because you need to compress information, because you only have a certain amount time to broadcast, but it's a very fine line. and you shouldn't, for the sake of clarity and conciseness or condensation of information, cross that line to, you know, clean up after someone, it feels like that's really the case, i don't want to be too judgmental of others, i once deleted something from an interview with by someone, i can't remember ever doing it again, but i wouldn't

do it now, but a few years ago someone said something so strange in an interview that i didn't want to continue, like i don't even know... damn it, you're talking and so am i asked the editors to take it out just because it wasn't relevant to the conversation, it was weird, so whatever, i did it, i did it, but if you're interviewing someone and they seem weird throughout the interview, and you're trying to hide it, then maybe you're a liar, what do you think, i think when you talk to the president of the united states, your instinct is to make him look his best. i understand that, but if there are signs, i don't know if there were, but if there are signs of ill health, or is he really having a hard time answering a series of questions, this is important isn't it, this is a news headline, for those of us who missed the cbs report, tell us what this tax investigation into hunter biden was, he was convicted in the end, by in my

personal opinion, for a completely ridiculous crime, illegal possession.

accused is that it is based on documents and not testimony and the problem of a tax case for any witnesses is that you confirmed when you signed the documents that your accountant? and i think it's important to understand in this case that all of this happened after he got sober, right, because he was a heavy drug addict for the whole tax season, but as he told the state court in delever last year, when the deal his guilty plea fell apart, he was on the hook for some time, so

how many alleged offenses occurred during the period when he was off drugs, and this is important because... sober people have no excuse, well, it just says something about the state of your crazy, right? not are these errors? yes, i think any jury wants to understand a person who has gone through addiction. they sympathize with such people because it is a daily challenge for them. and i think if you know at what point they were able to think clearly, it helps you understand their view of the evidence on what actually, i think that's right, so what is the status of these charges? i don't follow this as closely, but in the fall, i think the case will come to court. it's interesting, it's relevant now, and i don't think it's talked about often mentioned in the details of the story.

from his son, especially in terms of business, yes, but there have been many attempts to distance the president now, apparently they really are, as it were , inseparable, i don’t know this for sure, but

did their relationship really suddenly change at that moment, or maybe , it has always been this way, i don’t know the answer to this question. in my mind, knowing hunter biden well, i think he was always close to his father, he revered his father, being close to someone and doing business with someone is not the same thing same, of course. "i honor my father, but i don't do business with him, but i think i know for sure that he was always close to his father, always loved his father, in fact, that's what i liked about him, but you know, these are completely different circumstances , so he's facing, and that charge potentially carries with it a prison sentence, right, yeah, guns and taxes, guns, right, interesting, so what makes you think that..." something big happened, it doesn't seem that big of a deal big event, you reported on it, but in general it is not talked about very much, i think i would say that i

was very proud of the work at cbs, the investigative journalism that we did, whether it was whistleblowers or the laptop, and i went to great lengths to get the data off that laptop that had a very clear chain of evidence yes. as i learned in my investigation, this is a mirror image of what was handed over to the fbi, and i felt it was important to understand the integrity of the data, given that this laptop was described by a group of retired intelligence officials as a russian fake, correct, and we have attached a lot efforts to have one very respected group conduct a forensic examination were not made by that group. great group, they did

some amazing forensic work, they concluded that nothing had been changed in the copy of the data that we had. other journalists obtained their data through third parties, and i think that probably tainted the data somehow, but i had complete confidence in our data.

so yeah, because i think it really changed the discussion, of course, i wonder, did you feel, did you feel,

that the company doesn't want you to do this? "you know, i've always tried to be respectful of my former employers, and i told congress that there was tension with the biden investigation, especially when i kind of turned my attention to president biden, they didn't like it, sorry, you don't have to , i 'm not even talking about cbs specifically, it's so bad it's funny because it's not a job." reporter, covering for a politician, that's right, i'm just clarifying, did it ever occur to you how small he became? our world, you work 30 years or more to become, more, actually i know how long, but i'm not going long, and you become, you know, perhaps the most famous investigative journalist in the us, i'm not sure about that , but i would say that's true, or sure, you're in the top two or three, definitely, but... "you'd think

every news organization would say, 'oh my god, katherine harridge is available, let's hire her.' but you're an independent journalist, that's amazing. but that was my personal choice. i know, yes, but really, nbc in a normal world would have said, “hey, we're not paying $3 million a year for this job you're doing, but they didn't. isn't that weird? i think that's an indication that how much." the market has changed, i think that's the biggest metric for me, i didn't really realize how much change has happened in the last 4 and a half years, when you start looking at the numbers you see that these large corporate organizations are essentially no longer the custodians of information , there is much more of it on other platforms, and i i sincerely believe in my heart that there is

a place for...

the tanks are kind of reliable and i have no idea which one is correct, but why can't we get a real number at least here, i think the simple answer might be this , i don't know, but my assessment is the volume that we're talking about, i think it's the volume, so, but back to your point, i don't think there's a lot of transparency on this issue, i'm hoping to bring a little bit to it more transparency, so in your opinion, this is a very important story, 100%. yes i am it's not just about what issues american voters see as the top issues this election cycle. i ask myself, i have information, i think that federal law and federal regulations are being violated on a daily basis at the border. i need to find out if this is really true, if this is

really true, then why is it true? who's really losing in this equation? will the country become less safe or not? i don’t know the answers yet, but these are quite natural questions. and how does our bankrupt country pay for all these services? i yes, there is many questions, i absolutely agree, but your focus is on the question: is the federal government breaking its own laws? federal employees, yes, and based on your investigation, are you close to an answer? i think, judging by our reports, everything points to this. this seems to be the case. and so my question is: do you know who was punished, who was suspended, who was fired, who was demoted . and i guess the answer is no one but those who.
