kakhovka reservoir, but will withstand the language of western armored vehicles, a weapons mess, the us pentagon is confused by the calculations. how much does a weapon cost for the kiev regime, and in ukraine they noticed equipment that the west did not even promise it, who profits from all the schemes, a man is a friend to a dog, and also a savior volunteers and evacuate animals from flooded settlements from the kherson region does not pass by a single plaintive meow. personally ran around the fishing island with a machine gun in hands, and then actively participated in many front-line operations quotes from recent articles for economy with about kirill budanov , who apparently decided to actively return to the media field, including the western publication all the way draws a portrait of a kind of desperate daredevil to a professional terrorist cannibal with the message that he is said to be constantly in the center of events, and in general the text. it must be admitted that it is very much like an attempt. at least somehow remind the head of ukraine or rather drown out the news about, to pu

this is the third drag show that nell tis sgrmgt and it was cancelled is after the pentagon intervened we are told telling ushy it was actually canceled, but the prevailing defense that we got from the pentagon is that they decided that it was not a good use of the pentagon resources. this is going back to the hearing in march where the secretary of defense lloyd austin and chief of staffs mark milley were grilled by and that is when he learned that they were being used to draft these things. >> so you had these things and who funds these things? >> they are not funded by the department of defense. i will say it again, this is not something that we support or is to >> reporter: and so the result is that the military bases will not be hosting drag shows. >> okay. thank you for the research, natasha. >>> there is new research that shows that new drugs like ozempic may also help curb d drugdrug addiction. what is this showing? >> yes, it is some data that needs to be vetted in more studies. it was first noticed by someone who realized that the drug had some effect over her vaping. >> it is that these cigarettes

here in the us, the pentagon has invested billions of dollars into the development of a i and other so called smart weapons. that won't require much manpower in future conflicts. whether it's autonomy, drones program to seek out individuals on a terror list or by tech that aids in existing conventional warfare technology is the new tip of the spear when it comes to war. and for more on how technology is shaping the future of war. we are being joined by in con, he is a futurist and emerging technologies expert and thanks for being with us. first, the deputy defense secretary kathleen hicks said in her official press release that quote, the directive was established to minimize the probability and consequences of failures in autonomous and somebody autonomous weapon systems that could lead to on intended engagements. and what are she implying here that a i might go rogue and start killing everything in its path? i mean, the unintended engagement part is quite disconcerting. and so we have to realize that the state of artificial intelligence right now is a place where it's not perfect, it

that is, this is the department of defense pentagon us and state. and so on. well, of course, contracts with the pentagon. they are classified, and we are, in general, here, so to speak , well, here is a blank spot that we cannot look at and figure out what kind of contract it is and what companies are interested in. uh, so the pentagons are interested in such services, what is this? unfortunately, we can’t, but to a lesser extent, american companies are attracted by such companies, they also want to attract them, while the uk, on ​​the contrary, has more contracts with these companies with businesses, and they work a lot inside the uk , that is, let’s say. uh, telecommunications uh, giants. e british market. they hire such private military companies to protect, so to speak, and their facilities, and besides, in the uk there are private prisons and jay-forces, which i mentioned above. in general, she owns several of them and here, uh, so to speak, the uk is not looking to hard-regulate. from business on its own territory, because it relies more on the business

the most shameful flight in us history on august 21, the pentagon decided to leave afghanistan. taliban were to blame, which came close to the cabal just a month before the fall of the capital, president biden said that everything was under control and promised people who supported the united states not to leave them. the us has been abandoned. an entire country with a population of almost 40 million people, as soon as the war became irrelevant from a political point of view, moreover, america cynically turned away from its ally the afghan government view, refusing to help and, in fact, leaving to be torn to pieces. many could not even get immigrant visas. to leave the country. they themselves ran away. so the heels sparkled, or rather the wings of the aircraft under the american tail, several dozen people died. many fell to the ground already when the board was gaining altitude. how many were executed by the taliban for cooperation with the pentagon, one can only guess because the fine drive the then us presidents flew away in a helicopter stuffed with money, stopped the war fa

neither ukraine, northern us have denied that the pentagon is links to bio labs in the country the, [000:00:00;00] the since 2018 under order number 928, issued by ukraine's ministry of health. international pharmaceutical companies have had access to the country's hospital patients as a testing ground, including children. special safety measures in the handling of hazardous micro organisms out very expensive. the, it's a little cheaper and easier to conduct that kind of research in countries where lives are over low value to the usa. the west, of course, does not care about the lives or the conditions of the grain or the population. it is also been historically i'd by people like adolph hitler and the german world war 2 strategic plans for defeating russia. ukraine was rich with oil and it was always, i lied as a natural resource uh area that could be utilized. most of these discriminatory was sort of seamless and redo it was cut off most of the beauties. of course there's if i were to so many ways, but then you were interested in is gonna cost isaac over. so you split the menu, you

. >> cnn's natasha bertrand joins us now live from the pentagon.ls of why the pentagon decided don't do it again? >> reporter: the short answer is it seems they want to be consistent with what secretary austin had testified there. what had happened was this drag show at nellis air force base in nevada was slated to move forward and be performed today, june 1st, to mark the start of pride month. it has gone on for two years in the past so this was not seen as particularly problematic by the air force base. actually air force leaders did give it the go ahead. but then when pentagon leaders found out that it was scheduled to be performed today, they intervened this week we're told and told them that it could not move forward. according to the defense department, the reason for this is because, quote, hosting these types of events in federally funded facilities is not a suitable use of dod resources. as you see from that testimony that austin gave and that grilling that republican congressman matt gaetz gave him as well as mark milley, this has become

cnn's natasha bertram is joining us from the pentagon right now. she's got an update.ow close is the u.s. to a decision on cluster munitions and tell our viewers why these weapons are so controversial? >> yeah, wolf, we are told this right now is pending approval really at the highest levels of the white house and this could happen and be included in a military aid package to ukraine as soon as next month, so this could move fairly quickly here. essentially what cluster munitions are is they are munitions when they explode on impact they scatter a large number of bomblets. and those bomblets can actually fail to explode when they hit the ground. some of them can be duds. and so the concern there obviously is the risk it could pose to civilians over the long-term very similar to land mines. and this is why the biden administration had been reluctant for several months to fulfill the ukrainian's request for cluster munitions because they could pose risk to civilens and more importantly these cluster mufigs are also banned in over 100 countries worldwide including key u.s

natasha bertrand joins us from the pentagon. natasha, take us inside these cells. what this is about? >> reporter: it's unclear whether the recent drone attacks inside russia can be attributed to pro ukrainian sympathizers. u.s. officials believe that at least one attack for sure was contributed to these pro ukrainian operatives operating inside russia. that was the drone attack on the senate building on may 3rd. that was one of the more brazen attacks the groups have carried out we're told over the last several months. ukraine has been building and cultivating this network for months and they're really just now reaching the pinnacle of that operation we're told. they have established a lot of the infrastructure inside russia to be about to do this, recruiting people and getting them drones. we're told the ukrainians have, in fact, been providing these agents inside russia with drones. the ukrainians do have a pretty sophisticated drone manufacturing industry inside ukraine they ramped up since the war began. all this combined has allowed ukraine to take the war di

. >> if we call the men heroes who were used by the pentagon to try to exterminate an entire people -hat business have way to try to exterminate an entire people? my father fought against a group in the second world war who were trying to exterminate the people. i think we should not repudiate everything our fathers fought against in the second world war, repudiate everything our democratic ideals are founded on making these men into heroes. they are not men we should be proud of. >> you bring a problem in one of your radio announcers puts a microphone in front of one of your political leaders like we have right here and you say governor, what is your answer to this? housing, air pollution, poverty, jobs, then i have to give an answer. >> san francisco has been a source of more ideas, more leadership, more new approaches, more new solutions to problems than i think, any city in the country. >> it is not prepare yourself for leadership so much, is try to understand what is going on in our country and bring people together, young people [indiscernible] >> you endure those kinds of losse

natasha at the pentagon for us. we'll get back to you. thank you very much. >>> as russia was dealing with a possible coup attempt, ukraine has been making moves out there on the battlefield. this is significant. cnn's ben wedeman is joining us live from zaporizhzhia in ukraine, in the war zone. i understand ukraine has launched what are being described as simultaneous counteroffensives on several russian fronts. give us the latest. >> reporter: this is what we heard, wolf, from the deputy defense minister of ukraine who said that they had launched offensives in several directions in the area of bakhmut. now i think perhaps offensives is perhaps not the right word for what they're talking about. it's assaults. they are working in the area of bakhmut which was a city of about 70,000 people. obviously it's not clear if these were opportunistic assaults or assaults that were planned beforehand. it's not clear the scale of these assaults. we were, for instance, yesterday in a different area where we saw what looked like the preparations for a

cnn's natasha bertrand is live for us at the pentagon with this story. more are you learning about this decision? >> yeah, boris, so this would have been the third drag show that nellis air force base would have hosted since 2021. it was abruptly cancelled this week when pentagon leaders intervened and ordered that it not move forward. now, all of this seems to stem from a commitment that secretary of defense lloyd austin maeld during a house armed services committee hearing back in march that the department of defense does not support or fund these kinds of drag shows on installations across the country. he was grilled on this by republican aept afternoon matt gaetz who questioned both him and chairman of the joint chiefs, mark milley, about why these drag shows were occurring on these bases in a way some conservative policymakers have argued is not appropriate. here is that exchange. >> at nellis air force base, you had the drag u nellis on june 17th. who funded these things, mr. secretary? >> listen, drag shows are not something that the department of

us. the pentagon has warned that national security military readiness could be harmed here.who are up for promotion having those promotions held up? >> alex, the implications are pretty profound. every time a four star general moves, there are at least 60 direct other moves that happen as a result of that. all of these moves are held up because of what senator tuberville is doing. there are over 400,000 pcs station moves that occur every year, most of them during the summer months. there's always this cascading effect. general brown is currently the air force chief of staff. his replacement can't take over as chief of staff of the air force until general brown becomes the chairman of the joint chiefs. so there are similar effects in multiple commands. they affect not only operational forces, but also intelligence forces. every time one of these senior leaders are not in position, new ways of doing things stop and the readiness quotient becomes an issue, because you can't do the things you want to do because you don't have the leadership that would allow you to do that. >> ge

it's from us the pentagon hides this from the american people said that it is the united states thating the ukrainian conflict. at the same time, the politician believes that american propaganda deliberately presents the opposition to eastern europe as if it were a comic book plot. us public opinion is easy to put up with the conflict in which superheroes fight supervillains a scandal erupted in poland, local media found out that a multibillion-dollar rearmament program for the national army. promises the country colossal debts recently, official warsaw signed military contracts worth about $15 billion to the villages. as part of these agreements, hundreds of new tanks, dozens of aircraft, a huge amount of self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles are expected to be delivered. however, it turned out that militarization is supposed to be funded by loans received by the mind. all the same south korea has already signed an agreement on the allocation of $ 10 billion to warsaw, the volume of borrowings, most likely will be twice as much. if this happens, the national debt poland wil

oren liebermann at the pentagon for us.ant to bring back cnn chief legal analyst laura coates along with former acting attorney for the district of columbia michael sherwin. laura, how serious are these charges against teixeira? >> extremely serious. he actually was alleged to have disseminated images of classified documents at a variety of different levels on this chat room called discord. there is some statements about him maybe doing it for bragging rights or otherwise. obviously, that was not persuasive to avoid any charges because it is the core of the espionage act. we're talking a lot about the title of that statute. people think about the james bond or ethan hunt of "mission impossible." really it's about preserving the sanctity of documents we want to keep close to the vest that are defense-related information that should not be exposed to the outside world and if they do they're harmful to the united states or could aid our foreign allies or adversaries' work. this underscores the gravitas associated with those wh

joining us now pentagon reporter for politico. laura, let's start with ukraine.e was an expectation the counter offensive was going to be a slog, this was going to be slow going. the russian troops have been dug in these places for a while. what's the early analysis from the pentagon, people you speak to. do they think that as time goes on ukraine will be able to show more progress? >> i think so. i think the expectation has been for a while this was going to be a pretty -- a slog as you said. i think the plan right now as has been said is go east from zaporizhzhia and then go south. and these are places that the russians are really dug in, in donetsk in particular, and they have been for some time. it's really world war ii war style we're seeing fighting in foxholes and hand dug trenches, so it's really tough going. and i think what's really concerning to many people in the pentagon is that ukraine has been losing a lot of western equipment that the west has been given including u.s. equipment, but that's something i think ukraine has expected and i think everyo

the us military analyst whose change of heart on the vietnam war led him to leak the classified pentagonebruary, died at his home in kensington in california. the pentagon papers revealed us government deception about the vietnam war and set off a major freedom—of—the—press battle. ellsberg became an advocate for whistleblowers and his leak was portrayed in the 2017 movie the post. he spoke with our stephen sackur last year on bbc�*s hardtalk program. what i'm saying is if you can't tolerate government lying, you can't be in any government at a high foreign policy staff position for a week. and i'd been doing it almost ten years. and i thought, this is 7,000 pages of top secret documents. i'll go to prison for life. and in fact, i was charged with a possible 115 years, which would have been a life sentence. made it very clear. this was a loser. this was not the place to plant the imperialflag. i didn't use the word imperial in those days. and the answer was, i really was dangerous to the policy he and nixon were carrying out in secret. they were secretly threatening nuclear war to north

well , the pentagon promised us another $2 billion aid package, the previous package, if i'm not mistakenevel of 200-300 million, and here it is we need generosity very much. what do you think could be included in this package and why do you think the pentagon sped up so much? not only with the previous $300 million package, which also included interesting bonuses for anti-aircraft missile defense and all of them the sphere should be specified more precisely. what is it? well, i'm not saying that it's the first, not only a large-scale package worth a couple of billions of dollars from the united states, which provides for the strengthening of our air defense. attempts to wear out our defense forces have already been officially recognized that the kh-55 missiles are being launched with a constant warhead precisely in order to reconnoitre the positions of high-tech productions are also expensive enough for themselves, the export value of missiles to the patriot is at the level of 10 million dollars, the cost to the us army is at the level of uh , two dashes, 3 million dollars. well, by the

used for ukraine in the fight against russian troops. nazarii, indeed, this is a story that has been going on for more than a few months. the ukrainian side is asking the pentagono transfer a significant amount of these munitions to these cluster munitions. in fact , they do not have any legal restrictions from the point of view of the use of the ukrainian army. they are effective. it stands there in the trenches and in constitutional buildings, and this is extremely important to us because, relatively speaking , such a single cluster munition is much more effective than a conventional fragmentation munition the 155 mm cribro is now stored in warehouses in the united states. about three million such ammunitions are in fact able to cover the three-month needs of the ukrainian army there in the event of the introduction of active offensive hostilities. the pentagon admits that this is a rational decision, but the biden administration does not adopt such a decision , citing sooner own legal restrictions on the use of such supplies because the american army does not use them and they say that such supplies can then pose a threat to civilians population, although th

apprprations committee would prohibit any funds from being used to release personal information about current and former service members. these pentagon record the are typically used by news organizations and employers to verify a person's service history. the new proposal would require the filing of a freedom of information request to obtain the desired information, which could take years to fulfill. this bill follows a number of incidents in which the pentagon erroneously released the information of former service members. >>> a hundred lawmakers received letters containing suspicious white powder. the kansas bureau of investigation said that preliminary tests indicate that substances presumptively negative for common biological agents of concern. similar letters were addressed to former president trump and supreme court just physical justice clarence thomas. nbc news has not been able to verify these reports. >>> the clock is ticking at the site of the "titanic" disaster. five modern adventurers are missing in the ocean. our boston station has the latest on the search. >> reporter: the website describes the trip of a lifetime. taki

the pentagon announces a new large-scale package of military assistance to kiev, said the us secretaryof ukraine there are already all the necessary weapons, according to the pentagon, the us military department called the death of ukrainians a characteristic part of any conflict, which washington knew and accepted everything well . what is the pentagon's assessment of how the counteroffensive in ukraine is progressing? maybe some were too optimistic in their assessments when they expected unrealistic results at such an early stage of the counteroffensive. i think our assessments were clear enough from the start. to the extent that, we are watching the course of the battle. we see that it continues to move to the east. and every day the battle becomes more and more fierce and we took into account the losses. we knew there would be casualties on the battlefield and that is the unfortunate part of this war. pretty naive, probably every time to be surprised at the transcendent cynicism of the american curators of the zelensky regime, and nevertheless, it is absolutely impossible not to be

physically just as old as the and we have the there are going to prison is we have a us whistleblower for the pentagon which will be just going to jail. is me a, is being invited to the grand jury of, with leaks from the pens. again saying british soldiers in ukraine fighting the russians know there are, i don't know the number actually. there are a number of specially just going by the leave that know i only have is from the press. there are small number. we're in the 10s of the hundreds of thousands, especially forces that advising you cringe on how to use the weapons which support . and that is not true at 9 meters, u. k. that is true of the us, the number of other questions which will not directly bolt well. and there's just as well as when not because russia, which has of defense funded by one pence batch as a whole nation. which stuff of very, very bad indeed. if it goes into a direct was, why had to mean why? well, because of the case, if they were the russian soldiers in britain, i can only imagine what britain's reaction would be by fresh and special forces were in central london. but clearly

oren lieberman is live at the pentagon. to help us understand, we've heard some reports there are russian tanks or armored vehicles in the streets of moscow? does the pentagon know what's happening? >> reporter: we certainly see these videos that are being put out by righters and others. it's clear this is happening. the question is, what exactly does it mean? how far does this go? that's where the pentagon has not indicated to us exactly what they believe is the sort of process of events that they expect to play out. that's because it's so difficult to know right now. we have spoken with u.s. officials who tell us they're watching this very closely. as matthew chance pointed out, for months the u.s. has watched yevgeny prigozhin as he's tried to build his power base and essentially expand his influence, not only with russian president vladimir putin, but with the kremlin. this is obviously a dramatic change of events here. the u.s. watching this very closely, even if there isn't a precise picture of exactly what's happening on the st

use. it's all comes as the pentagon recently admitted to an accounting error of us funding to care overestimating the value by more than $6000000000.00 as well. washington is not provided unofficial audits of his funding for ukraine. according to official vegas, at least $40000000000.00 of aid has been spent since the my done old pricing in 2014 is more than 90 percent of that arriving after the war broke. the last year of grace on investigative journalist on your part on bill says the all key questions about washington's involvement and keeps a fast over the last decade. fortunately since 2014 sent the might on to since the us and other western powers conspired to over throw you cranes elected government, i think it's hard to make the case that the country has been sought is sovereign at all. they were talking about very openly how they plan to use ukraine, that they actually see this more as an opportunity to test the digital future that they want to implement throughout the entire what they end up in 2030 ukraine will be rebuilt and it was kind of bizarre for me to hear that because what they

us more. >> the pentagon sees this as a set of aggressive chinese behaviors. one of its vessels with a canadian vessel was carrying out an exercise. showing this is an international waterway. shipping can use it as can other militaries, including the u.s. but chinese military ship cut 150 yards in front of the u.s. vessel and circled back and passed 2,000 yards. very short distances in terms of naval vessels of this size. the u.s. calls it an unsafe maneuver. as is the case in these instances, we see china with a completely different narrative about what happened. the minister of national defense said they were not there for innocent reasons, they were there to be provocative. there you see the difficulty in simply communicating here with these encounters between the u.s. and chinese military. we saw another one of these just a couple weeks ago when a chinese jet intercepted an aircraft over the south china sea. china trying to exert its sovereignty, its claims to those two sensitive areas, the south chinese sea and the south taiwan st strait. the question, whe
