we 're doing everything we can to get the pentagon to fix it.were concerned about that early enough. and we consulted with the ministry. simply put, the pentagon used a replacement cost methodology to estimate supplies. if you give a car as a gift, you probably can't buy a new car for that amount, right? because the car now has a different price. in reality, everything is a little more complicated, but mainly it led to an overestimation of deliveries by $ 6.2 billion. we conducted up to... additional surveillance and found at least another 1.9 billion including depreciation, so we have provided recommendations to the pentagon and are working on their implementation. how much do you rely on ukrainian government information and reporting compared to us aid to other countries? all situations are different, and what distinguishes this situation on the ground is that there are no us troops, the number of us troops is small, the us relies on the ukrainians and in terms of security... assistance to the ukrainian armed forces. they inform about what is

the pentagon trained a unit of the armed forces of ukraine, which grossly violated human rights. the report of the us department of defense inspector has been declassified. about what the division of the ukrainian armed forces is being discussed and the pentagon comes out. admitted that he raised terrorists, eliminated all opponents will rule europe alone. ursula vonderlyaem is accused of usurping power, how a former gynecologist suppressed democracy in the bud, why will her dictatorship lead the european union to collapse? a drone stuffed with drones. russian drones and nesting dolls are terrorizing the ss. how far behind enemy lines can such a... scandal in germany on a leading tv channel paid actors were passed off as opponents opposition, how harshly censorship and propaganda have taken over the paradise gardens of europe? well, let's start with some very impressive footage that was filmed in the pokrovsky direction of the special operation in the dpr, allowing us to draw very interesting conclusions about how the offensive actions of the russian armed forces are organized. a

the pentagon trained a unit of the armed forces of ukraine, which grossly violated human rights. declassified. three-ruble notes are terrifying the highlanders, how far behind enemy lines such a uav aircraft carrier can penetrate, and what usually happens next, the hunter and the beast flee. german journalists admired how they search for ukrainian draft dodgers with the help of drones and dogs, to set an animal on a person, so european? but let's start with very impressive footage that was filmed in the pokrovsky direction of the special operation in the dpr allows. to draw very interesting conclusions about how the offensive actions of the russian armed forces are organized. well, actually, here in the center of attention are the drone operators of the group of troops-center, who simultaneously raise many different drones into the sky, then literally clear the way for subsequent dash of attack aircraft in the area of ​​one of the settlements. copters drop grenades with extreme precision on the equipment of the kiev regime, on the accumulation of personnel in the armed forces of

he talked about how the pentagon it's not just the 9/11 memorial here.rance and a memorial to what happened that day, but he also sparked a message of hope, talking about some individuals who were injured or killed and family members who have taken their grief and turned it into hope, and he spoke about some specific individuals there in the crowd today, the day started as it has since that day with the unfurling of the flag over the pentagon, you'll remember in the hours after the attacks, first responders unfurled an american flag, you see it there that day, every day since there's been a flag draped over the side of the pentagon visible from the highway nearby and we heard in addition to hearing secretary austin we heard from other pentagon leaders and we do expect to hear from the president a little bit later today when he comes by the pentagon. >> thank you all for helping us remember with your reporting. we appreciate it. >>> new data released today show consumer prices rose.2% today. inflation rate cooled to 2.5%, the lowest level since february 2

and then in the pentagon we followed two women, sheila and louise, as they start first day at the pentagon on september 11th. and they are sitting in their office doing what you do in first hour of your first day at work, filling your personnel forms. and one of them collects the forms at about 930 and walks over to the fax machine. this was 2001. you actually have the fax something and she walks up to the fax machine, loads the documents in, enters in number, hits the start, and the building explodes. and she's standing there, singed on fire wondering what she did to the fax. and that she and her colleagues that day, many of her colleagues died. she and sheila both end up surviving on that day, getting out in part because of the incredible efforts of some of her colleagues. and this is where, again, you sort of see these incredible stories, the human response to 911 and where, of course, we are familiar with the firefighters and, the police officers and the emt and the paramedics who go into the and up the towers in new york, in the pentagon. it's a story of military officers who run out

is when american airlines flight 77 did crashed into the pentagon here in the outermost ring of the pentagon the invocation beginning now. and they will do the moment of silence right now. let's listen. ladies and gentlemen, please be seated . >> 9:37 a.m., september 11th, 2001. that is the moment, as natasha was saying, american airlines flight 77 hit the pentagon killing 184 people on that horrible day. natasha back with me now. a memorial has been built since and is a beautiful one. >> reporter: it is. and they hold this event there of course every year commemorating the lives of the 184 people that were killed when the flight american airlines flight 77 did hit the pentagon directly. it killed 125 workers inside the pentagon including contractors as well as people who worked here on a more permanent basis as well as 59 people that were on the flight itself. the youngest being just a 3-year-old girl whose remains were never found here. the memorial is really to commemorate that and we do expect to hear from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff who was about to speak as well as the se

another one happening in shanksville and the pentagon. karl, remind us of that day for you that morning. >> it began at 8:48 a.m. standing outside a school in florida when my phone rang and assistant said a plane has flown into the world trade center. we don't know if it's jet or prop, private or commercial. i walked over to the president, who was 10 feet away or so shaking hands outside the elementary school ready to go inside for a reading demonstration and told him. he sort of raised an eyebrow, like get more. two minutes later, three minutes later condy rice called in with the same sketchy information and we walked into the school. it struck me it was 15 minutes from the time i got that call from susan to the time that we had just turned on a television. we had difficulty getting the television on. we just turned on a television. when it came on made a contact as we screwed it into a wall, it made a pop and went -- and then a voice said what have we just seen? it was flight 175 hitting the south tower. so i spent that day with the pre

however, the pentagon says that the us policy has not changed yet. regarding the russian ballistic missiles that hit the military communications institute in poltava, does the pentagon know where those missiles came from, and has this attack changed the decision-making process here at the pentagon about potentially allowing the ukrainians to use attacks to target missile sites in russia? i don't have any information as to the origin of these missiles, other than you on the ... saying that these are russian missile attacks, and again, that's just shows the brutality of these attacks, particularly on civilian infrastructure, and as we get closer to the ground, russia is targeting infrastructure, energy infrastructure, which will be vital as ukraine gets colder. we have been working very hard for a very long time to continue working with the international community to ensure ukraine's air defense capabilities, and we will continue to do so. to do, as to our policy on long-range strikes, i have had no reports of any change in policy. just now, my colleag

i started the pentagon papers to bring these things together. >> robert mcnamara started the pentagonapers. did he read them? peter: he did. in 1967, it was already clear to mcnamara and others that the war was not going well. the question really was how did we get to this stage historic? mcnamara turns to his deputy and said, let's put together a historical record of everything we can find out that allowed us to this moment. that person who was put in charge got killed in a plane crash. so the project w turned over. it was 7000 pages. there were only half a dozen copies. he said mcnamara opens the first box. he was never able to read it. he said with the pentagon papers, nixon said they are a dreadful example of a leak of secret documents. they thought it was not so much a secret. what it showed was the really appalling level of ignorance that led to u.s. there was some misunderstanding, blunders that were bureaucratic in nature. we did not understand the country at all. one thing that really struck in my mind was ken burns superb documentary series on vietnam. i think it was the thi

bush made at the dedication of the 9/11 pentagon memorial, 2008.ech he said, quote, for future generations, this memorial will be a place of learning. the date will come when most americans have no living memory of the events of september 11th. it's been more than two decades since the terrorist attacks in september 11th. and rising leaders in this country and across the world have grown up with no or very little memory of that day. despite this experience, these young minds come to special places, like the pentagon memorial and here at flight 93 national memorial to learn how the actions of ordinary people have shaped their world. as i stand here this morning, the presence of thousands of students joining us virtually here across the country, for the teach to remember 9/11, a national day of learning, and the prediction president bush made in 2008. today we welcome this generation to join us in honoring the 40 passengers and crew members of the flight 93 and their courageous action. good morning. my name is steven clark, superintendent of the nati

also, the pentagon paid for a new building for the company. will family troubles, you'll spend the night in the office too, do you have food, trash, gatié, not all sorted out, sir, sir, this is lar calling you, i'm coming. sir, it's too early to close the barka case. something's wrong with the gatié. this guy, he, he's got a double bottom, sir. like most people on this damn planet, we can't handle everything. so, agent glover, turn the bartley case over to the dea, that's it, i'm used to finishing my cases, saz, there are no cases of yours here, all cases in this building are federal, as is yours working hours, and it's up to me how you spend them, boss, we have new evidence in the barkley case, it looks like it's not just a lighter, the case is closed, but boss, forget about barkley, now all this... "garbage, the case is closed, they took out aguletsky with their own, the sniper dug in near them in advance, and he was sent by someone who knew about our operation, with whom else you worked, maybe with him, but i have no idea, i just. who i kne

the pentagon has been a hardware-centric organization. they are great at acquiring hardware and take new technology back bits and bits and bits and put it in place. by the time it gets put in place is on the edge. at 35, very advanced aircraft and can't take 23 years on a clean sheet of paper to now maximum production and expect you are going to be close to your adversary. mr.smith: not maximum production there. mr. wittman: on the precipice of maximum production. you can't do that. where we need to be today. make the most of your resources matters. it is competition and how do we get more for our dollars. we have to change the mind-set that hardware centric mind-set is something that is holding the pentagon back. we live in a software based world, the pentagon needs to move from a hardware centric organization and that software can enable platforms. the f-35 is a very good platform but how is it enabled to meet the challenges of the future is through software and everything we do is using integrated software platforms. those are the thin

and turning now to the pentagon. these are live pictures outside of the pentagon. the ceremony taking place there. the american flag was unfurled on the west side of the building. a very big crowd formed outside of the pentagon. one of the buildings that was hit by the crashed, jets. it's in honor of the 125 military personnel and civilians in the pentagon who were killed, along with the 58 innocent people who were on board american airlines, 77. that plane crashed into the pentagon building. and i want to show you video taken earlier this morning. this is when the flag was actually unfurled outside of the pentagon building. it's become one of the most memorable moments of nine over 11 remembrances every year. now, there will be a ceremony later this morning at the third memorial site. that one in shanksville, pennsylvania, where flight 93 crashed. >> the san francisco fire department will hold a ceremony as well to honor the emergency responders and people who died that day. at 645 this morning, fire engines will roll out of the stations and crews will stand at at

it is also congress's responsibility to engage in a full debate to assess the pentagon's rationale. without public pressure it is doubtful that any hearings will occur. and that is why our congressional nuclear weapons and arms control group will hold its own hearing july 14 and we invite all of you to join us at that hearing. now, for years, congress has dictated in the national defense authorization act that the u.s. maintain a minimum of 400 icbms. why? the answer seems to be, that is the number we have always had. well, the number of ground- based icbms should not be set by the number of the existing concrete silos. but rather in an almost honest analysis of nuclear strategy. such review must consider the risks of a catastrophic state that is inherent in the sentinel program. in the event of an attack, it is assumed that the first target is the well known locations of the icbms. and therefore we find a use it or lose it situation. and, the very dangerous launch on warning program. that is the operational imperative of the icbm system. the president will have only a few moments t

the full list of american aid was published on the pentagon's website.ng other things, the new aid package from the us includes the rome-7 anti-aircraft missile, the stinger missile, ammunition for haimars, 10.55 and 105 mm shells anti-tank missiles and systems, as well as combat vehicles of the bradley infantry. this announcement was made during another meeting in the ramstein format. in general, the country is a coalition. have already provided ukraine with military aid worth more than 106 billion dollars, the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, announced this . my colleague ostap yarysh, who is joining our live broadcast today, followed all the updates of remstein, as well as the announcement of the pentagon. congratulations ostap. congratulations oleksya. ostape, today there was an actual announcement about the provision of a new aid package to ukraine. at the same time, in september, as we know, there may be a deadline for using about 6 billion dollars, which the usa has allocated for assistance to ukraine within the framework of the presidential po

by the generals in the admirals, the pentagon. but i'm also read by the little old ladies in south dakota. right. and that warms heart, because i am trying to take very calm blacks seemingly calm blacks issues and make them accessible to all us. and i think helps same with poetic help or anecdotes when you really hear a detail that, you know, describes the color of paint on the wall or that there's not enough parachutes and the guys running back and forth between the white house office to try to find another you start to be able to use your own imagination to use your own thought process, and you become involved. yes, yes, yes. well, you do. you paint a new world. i mean, you really draw it in i am i am in the situation room. i am in the command bunker. i'm in marine. when you just you just didn't tell me what color the the headphones were but you just about it's just an excellent and on that i'm going to -- in for a second because one of my favorite parts about being in a journalist is asking questions you know, i'm usually in yo

you had sailors in the furthest part of the world relative to the pentagon and a pentagon that was distracted by arguably by the ground wars. how much was the focus on iraq and afghanistan a factor in keeping this going on as long as it did? you know, it's a great question, nancy. so really two main reasons. so leonard's company really took off after 2000, one after the 911 hijackings. but most importantly, after the bombing of the uss in 2000, in yemen, in the persian gulf, and the uss cole, those of you don't remember, was a destroyer, had made a brief port visit in aden, yemen, and an al qaida plot. this was just a motorboat, a small boat stuffed with explosives pulled right up next to the destroyer, this multibillion dollar ship, and almost sank it, you know, blew it up. the navy was completely unprepared for this of asymmetric attack. and this completely changed their calculus on trying to protect their ships and ports. and leonard francis you know again smart guy saw an opportunity he's like i have to be able to guarantee the navy that i can protect their ships when they're in foreign p

it’s not that the pentagon has suddenly become a dove of peace, it’s just that there are still those are looking half a step ahead, that it’s not the first time, but if in afghanistan or iraq they got away with it, then in ukraine playing with matches threatens to cause global fires, a strategic dead end from which there is no way out. steroids can't get out, the journal emphasizes. biden's administration strategists are awfully similar to the recipe for another endless war, since it is not capable. for a while, this sounded naive, especially about 24 hours, but now, perhaps for the first time, not from outside experts or allies, but first-hand from trump's running mate jade vance, we can hear about the details of this plan. it probably looks something like this: the division will take place along the existing front line, ukraine retains sovereignty, russia receives guarantees of neutrality from ukraine, it is not joining nato, it is not joining. to officially announce that strikes deep into russian territory will be carried out by western missiles, is a special kind of cynicism, to

my conclusions. then indeed the white house and the pentagon were not aware, this is the very activity of kiev, but who was aware from the american side, but only one player, obviously, who is the cia, this is an operation absolutely, this is a cia operation, we have known for a long time that they are working very intensively on your border, on the border of russia, ukraine, they are working very intensively, we know that the cia is engaged in ukrainian nationalists since forty-sixth year, they have deep connections with... nationalists for a long time, that in general i understand that well the pentagon, you know, is busy, very busy in the middle east, asia, china, taiwan, i have a feeling that they handed over all this business, ukraine handed over to the cia, guys, the cia, langley, yes, headquarters, deal with ukraine, deal with kiev, this is all your business, we have other business, well, as if the pentagon so, reasons, i am now telling you my conclusion, based on the study of our media, the most important goal is to undermine both confidence and support for president putin, in

our source in the presidential office said that the pentagon recommended zelensky to end the kurdish transfer the military to pokrovsk direction to eliminate the collapse of the front. it is important for the armed forces of ukraine to save reserves and hold the front. if pokrovsk is occupied by russian troops, then there will be no point in the west supporting ukraine. what seriously? i liked this last phrase. that is, everything is decided there. the key or whatever the needle is, here is the egg with the needle in it, that's it. well, it's unlikely , of course, but in general, all this is very. of course, it amazes the imagination, this is some kind of incoherent set of words from zelensky, simply devoid of any internal logic, look, and give us, please, this quote, no, just in letters, we will read, as for the difficulties in pokrovsk and taretsk, we believe that the kurdish operation will affect these areas, reduce the number of russian troops, but for now we see that it is difficult there, there were the most combat units of russia, because donbass has always been their main goa

they just on the face of the pentagon, every year for the last 23 years, we have gone down to the pentagon at 6:46. that's sunrise down in the washington, d.c. area when they unfurl that flag to commemorate american airlines flight 77 that crashed into the pentagon. it killed all 64 on board. >> right. >> steve: 125 people at the pentagon. 184 people lost their lives 23 years ago today. i know you are going to take part in some of the commemorations as well here in new york city. >> that's right. >> steve: new york city and pennsylvania. >> that's right. i will be doing that that little while. in fact, right after this call i leave. i'm going down to the world trade center site and i will be down there for much of it, j.d. is going with me. and we had a great talk about it yesterday. very, very sad. horrible day. never been anything like it. horrible day. and then going to pennsylvania of course. so i'm going to be doing both of them. sometimes i will do all three. sometimes it doesn't work out when they are sort of simultaneously done. we're going to be doing two of them today. >> brian:

but the pentagon know somebody is going to review the work and hold them accountable and that's where the fullness and completeness of their validation. they needed a complete new weapon and therefore complete new pig and it's 80 a year to get to 100 so if you're familiar with this program the warheads will be felt and installed on the rockets year-by-year over 50 years and you don't need 80 to accomplish that. you can accomplish it are you are produced this year the fundamental question, are you building a new phone anyway? the current or another series of farms could be used. multiple warhead claims but if you two thought it would be an increase production. we do have 4000 and storage from the commission and nuclear weapons. the big question and talking about one or more, these are the questions and issues that the congress pick up. >> i think we have time for just a couple more question, one of which is important for younger attendees. what recommendations do you have for young students who articulable let's what else can congress do to build or and efforts but diplomatic engagemen

according to a pentagon report, the united states now produces 40,000 155 mm art shells per month. in comparison with the indicator of the 22nd year , the growth is 178%, because then the americans produced only. shells per month, but there are nuances here, it turns out that 40 thousand shells are produced, but charges are still needed, that is, explosives or powders that push the shell through the barrel of the gun, so the production of these charges for shells is much less, only 18 thousand per month, there is no growth here. and now the main acceleration is taking place here, in order to ensure the production of both the projectile itself and the charge in the amount of at least 40,000 per month and to bring the production of charges up to the number of shells. and one more nuance, the data announced today by the pentagon is somewhat less than previously announced by the representatives of the us ministry of defense, they said that for this period by the fall of the 24th year , they should reach 80% of the production of projectiles. for a month, and in the 25th year to leave at

terror from the russian federation, this is the answer to your question, how can the pentagon help?t the moment of fulfilling one's own political promises, after the nato summit and the next ramstein regarding the transfer of extended military-technical support to ukraine, namely the same patriots. i will remind you, germany handed over the patriots, romania handed over the patriots. italy is currently solving the issue of transferring the santkiev air defense system to franko-improved ones tactical and technical characteristics, instead the united states for some reason grazes the rear, and accordingly, when political statements were once again made that we will help you in the fight against iranian ballistics, we needed help even yesterday, even after you announced at the summit nato about the expanded nature of the military and technical support of our country, by the way, you can also ... ask, but where are the 60 billion dollars that the congress of the united states voted to allocate for the military and technical support of our country country instead, we see military and tec

sadly, both the pentagon and congress are pretty risk averse. i'm not accusing anyone, any member of this committee personally. however, the way congress operates with respect to requirements of the pentagon, and not only some of the budget issues here, we'll get into those, i am sure, operating by cr and possible, you know, shutdowns is really an expensive way to proceed. i'm sure you are all aware of that, and hopefully we're in a new era where we don't do that. but if you build to requirements and then the requirement fails and then you do oversight and punish the people who have failed, that creates a risk averse culture. i'm not saying reward people who have failed, but understand that if we're going to iterate and build better models of pick anything -- drones, tanks, anything that you might need in, -- you might need in current and future wars we have to be , prepared to fail. and we have to understand that culture and this committee by doing multi year procurements and other things which we point out would be very helpful and allowing th
