Strike and hollywood. Its stopped production of new shows. It could soon be over. But does that mean that the actors will be back in work as well . Its just presumes that the once the right, as ive got an agreement, it will follow that the actors wont have an agreement when not sure that yet. So why when happy, but the stages move forward, we still dont know the exact and they so many of our favorite shows for to our viewers watching on tv as in the United States and to all of you around the world. Welcome. We begin the day with babel tanks and made in america now inside ukraine. On monday you courtney and president zalinski announced the arrival of the 1st abrams babbled tanks promised by the United States. Now a total of 31. 00. Abrams will eventually join a larger force of babel, obtains coming from western europe, all of them with the same goal. To push back the russians. The m one, a bronze tank is a 3rd generation 5 full tank named off to a us army general. It was created for on the ground volstead during the cold war. Its more than 40 years later and following significant upgrades. Its the us armies. Main baffled time. The a bronze has seen action in numerous military conflicts around the world, including iraq and afghanistan, weighing more than 60 tons. Its one of the heaviest tanks in service that makes it bulky, but its well protected against most anti tank weapons. Its 120. 00 millimeter main gun has a range in excess of full kilometers. What makes the m one a bronze unique . Is it gas turbine engines which uses a type of jet few. Although it has an impressive performance, even washington has acknowledged it has a very high fuel consumption compared to traditional diesel engines. The us also admits the tank system. Its hard to maintain and expensive to run. Just 2 of the reasons why washington has been reluctant to deliver this battle tank to ukraine. I want to bring in military analysts now bradley bowman, hes with the foundation for defense of democracies. Right. Lets get to see you again. What is the significance of the arrival of this 1st contingent of abrams tanks . And thanks for the opportunity to join you again. I think the significance is going to provide additional armor capacity to creating forces as they conduct this counter offensive. You know, there, there is some discussion of this, these tanks arriving ahead of schedule. I think its important to put that in perspective. I mean, you crane started asking for western tang shortly after the invasion last february and there was a clear reduction reluctance. And then in capitals, including washington to say yes to those requests, i think for fear provoking, put in, which always seemed kind of odd to me because this, after all, was an unprovoked invasion, the largest weve seen since world war 2. A. But, you know, brilliant britain in germany, United States made disagreement in january. And here we are. About 9 months later these 31. 00 tanks arriving. But its only just 31. 00. Thanks. Yeah, it is. Its, its only just 31. 00 tanks in total. But we can also say that if we werent talking about these 31 change, we possibly also might not be talking about any battle tanks at all from western europe for you. Great. Do you agree . I would, i think of the london and berlin were eager to step off the proverbial cliff together if you will, in terms of writing tanks. And so thats why you had this agreement i just referenced in january and that kind of unlocked the british and german decisions regarding of the challenger and leopard tanks. So thats a good thing, but you know, to put these 31, take some perspective in terms of quantity. I mean, thats roughly the size of a to us army. And one of the rooms companies in the us army and marine corps have thousands of these tanks. So as a Lieutenant General retired h r mach master chair of our center here, and former Us National Security advisers setting event. I moderated last week, 30 tanks, we should be providing 300. And how likely is that going . I mean, how realistic is that . Its 36. I think the unlikely. I think its unlikely because um, you know, theyre expensive. Uh and uh, congress is only appropriating so many funds. And if youre going to make a list of what you cream needs most somewhat debate, whether abrams tanks is in the top 3 or from the top 5. So there is, uh, these tough decisions have to be made about how to allocate, find that resources to get ukraine, what they most needs. And were talking about money again, just a moment, but let me ask you about the ukrainians now claiming that they killed the commander of the russian black seat fleet when they hit the Navy Headquarters on crimea on friday. I mean, what do you make of this claim . You know the attack last week on the, the russian black c fleet headquarters. It appears that keith had good intelligence. They waited for this meeting of, of Senior Officers and they conducted this attack and according to early reports, and you always have to take early reports cautiously more than a 100 people were injured. And 34. 00 officers killed, including admiral victor sock a lot of the they had of the, the blacks the fleet. Um, you know, ukraine claims that now i hit the headquarters, the Main Building there, but also some insight aircraft, missiles and artillery units. This is part of a larger effort where the crane is increasing, targeting crimea for a number of reasons, one because of its symbolic importance. And also because of its role in supplying and reinforcing, invading Russian Forces in southern ukraine. There are reports that the us is providing long range tactical missiles called attack and to ukraine. I mean, can we expect confirmation on that soon . And why would the, by the ministration be slow to confirm that i know ive been calling for uh, washington to provide the attack comes to ukraine for more than a year. Now, it will allow the, it would allow the crazy conduct deeper strikes into russian occupied territory, including crimea, align them, they had a headquarters elements, logistical nodes, longs their long straight, long range straight capabilities. And they would augment other systems that have been arriving by the french and have renters that are error launch, but the attack them is ground launch is valid, create additional capacity and capability, and create dilemmas for Russian Military planners. I think there were, you know, they, the administration has put up a variety of excuses. I think most dont was stand scrutiny. I think it, a lot of it comes back to this private cation from us. But when weve asked through cranes not to use weapons for strikes inside russia, ukraine is honored that so i, i think this is a boat, a positive mood, mood move on the part of the body restriction if not violated. Yeah, the, the us, you could say with the extra mile, providing abrams in response to german re request for bell tanks. It would washington or should washington be expecting the same reciprocity from berlin or you know, i dont know if the buying restriction will be leading number lin, to provide the, the torres cruise missile, for example. Um, from my perspective, that would be a good thing is the towards the cruise missiles a capable system. Its not them like us systems that the britain and france of already provided. Um, but uh, you know, i think uh, air defense and other things like that would be where, what some of europe you know, is, can most help. Because i think even during the winter months, we should expect these drone and missile strikes to continue an Additional Air defense capacity is, is that particular priority . I would say the brand before we run out of time, let me just get maybe you could provide us 1st with some clarity on us speaker mccarthy. He did a 180 this week on his opposition to maintaining web and support for you. Creating the us government, it could possibly shut down later this week. The, the political dc looks like anything and everything except a reliable partner right . Now if youre looking at it from the start of the atlanta, particularly for ukraine is, is that an accurate description . I think this is not the best moment for the 9 states. A, a government shut down is not a good look, but uh the decision has been made to consider us support for you. Create a quote unquote and accepted activity under a government labs and our preparations s. Washington speak for were going to continue to train ukrainians, provide them weapons, even if there is a government shut down. But that no way minimizes the fact that a country like United States should not be having government shut down. Yeah, i think a lot of people with agree with that statement as well. Rarely moment as always by we appreciate your time and your analysis. Thank you. Thank you. Of the and now to what could be the genesis again, another refugee crisis, armenia says nearly 7000 refugees and crossed its border from newborn no car ever since i thereby john took control of the disputed region last week. Turkeys president richard tire appeared on said today that either by johns offensive has perhaps opened a window to normalize strain relations in the region. The a very liter youll have all the has suggested a new land core door that would link turkey. And either by john or he would pass through our meaning and territory, and the eyes are by johnny region of not shiver. Packed caused stream mouse isnt the kind of us, as hundreds of Ethnic Armenians flee the some vehicles via the skies of the recent conflict. Id groups are on hand to help as families across the board and media the mass exodus sparks my fee is for the offense, and then you as a buy jeremy room. My condition today we left, they told us either you leave or take us about johnny possible to you, not the kind of people who take up about johnny passports as a by john re took nicole know cut a bus by force last week. The region sits within its borders, but had previously been under the control of a snake armenian forces, as around 120000 armenians live in the mountain mist. Here a tree may see a persecution if they stay that despite as a by johns promises that it wants to reintegrate them is equal citizens. Space for 40000, from kind of back has been prepared and mania. Families standing by for the loved ones arrival face a new of us white is north jeweler, this is just, im waiting for my sister to arrive for me to go to a car bar. Everything she and her husband have built there. Shell leave behind, done. Thats very bad. This gina is leaving your house and starting all over again. And this is already the 2nd time rusher is providing peacekeepers to help with the evacuation. But they were consumed for the 10s of thousands of people yet to leave nickel on october. The food and fuel supplies running low and fees of possible revenge attacks the police force and the british capital one is facing a revolt from with then some officers are refusing to carry a gun. Outreach after murder charges were filed against one of their own. More than a 100 specially trained fire arms officers to say that they will no longer go to work with a weapon. Its important to know that fewer than 10 percent of one police carry a gun. In this protest, it has raised concerns about the ability of the police to deal with incidents where firing a gun may be necessary. The army was put on standby over the weekend to respond to potential terrorist attacks, but that is no longer the case. The head of londons police force has called for increased Legal Protection for officers who use weapons in the line of duty. U. K. Prime minister ration seen that says that he understands the concerns of the police law, Firearms Officers do an incredibly difficult job then making life for that decisions in a split 2nd to keep both sides and bait is us all across to you for that bravery. Now its important when that lou using these legal powers, that they do so with clarity and they have certainty about what theyre doing, especially given the pharmacy that they are using. I do want to get an answer wanting to bring in our correspondence. Charlotte shelton film. Charlotte, its good to see you. Tell us more about the case that has led to this Police Revolt in one or from the states back to the shooting of an on the black man. Last g, a name was chris k, but he was shot with a single box with bullets through his car. Thats the case. A pump sewage resulted in a officer being charged with his mother last week. Now the officer involved remains anonymous, things to anonymity order. Hes known only as an x one to one, but a number of colleagues have responded to this with the law. Im. I think its bad to say, as you said, that they said that they were putting down the weapons. No longer for aging is a Police Officer jew to the level of concern over this. They fix that to it could mean that they themselves, its in similar incidents, risk facing and protracted legal proceeding. And it, it sounds like if youre not familiar with it with the statistics, it sounds like this is not a new problem. But talk to me about how common are shootings by police in the u. K. I mean, what numbers are we talking about or yeah, theyre very, very rare and thoughts and police issuing a statement theyve called for review into the entire Legal Proceedings and Legal Protections that were in place for Police Officers. They pointed to a number is 261 of them being that Police Respond to they say on please about full thousands of incidents on average. Every year they say the weapons of 5 votes is less than twice a year. On average. That means, note point note 5 percent of on the operation results in shots being 5. And i think the point thats being made that by the London Police is that they respond to instance like this with cat and caution. But very clearly, some of them do end up in, in Legal Proceedings in, in rare occasions, this being one of them. And for many people, the people watching our program in the United States, for example. The fact that one in 10 british Police Officers carries a weapon that has to come as a surprise to me. 10 percent only. Why is that to . Yes, very few offices are on there. A number of reasons. So thats one reason i think it because the, the governor was in the u. K is very much strict. So then a lot of other places in order to i want to go on, you have to go through rigorous tests, have a license. And in fact, a certainly really to this farm is all people in Wildlife Management to do our issue these, these gun license is not for the one reason. Another very, very crucial reason is the whole is an idea to which the whole of u. K. Policing is face not policing by consent. The idea being that you, uh, all the on the, the trust of the public. And thats who you dont need to to carry a weapon. Although of course, not as it is based on public confidence. And that has to be said in the context of what they sit cont, uh, confidence in the London Police force is very, very low at the moment in town, softer you found institutional racism, sexism and hypothermia. Uh, in the for the now once again we have the force of back in the headlines today, z u k. Government, its a nail, its a review of the rules governing police going to use. I mean, how quickly can changes be expected or should we expect changes . It did announce this or he very quickly. And the, uh, the home office announced was just responsible for the police force. And now it says review. Basically saying that Police Offices are making split 2nd decisions and that they cons, expect to end up in the dark fluid decisions made well the on duty sucks. Overdues been issued off the cold from the police to, to looking look again to reform the Legal Proceedings that offices may face. How quickly any changes will come into full speed. The on the thoughts are, is probably not very quickly. There is a lot that needs to be done, but i think that the, the political will is very clearly there. And you can see that says from the Quick Response from the Government Back consent being that any incident like this that not dealt with quickly, could spread outside logged in the past. The rest of the u. K. Shows which isnt feeling when its charlie is always good to see you. Thank you. It could very well be the final chapter in the strikes that has brought hollywood to a standstill. Now for months, late on sunday, the Writers Guild of america reached a tentative agreement with studio bosses, writers of tv films and talk shows they down there tools 5 months ago, demanding fair pay, working conditions, and members of the union. It will now vote on the deal, a separate dispute involving actors. It remains a close to a done deal. One that union negotiate to say contains quote, meaningful games and protections for rights has not much more has been revealed about the tentative agreement that has been struck between the Writers Guild and film and Television Studios is finalized. It could bring an end to a stalemate that has practically ground hollywood to a halt. The for nearly 5 months right, isnt creators took to the streets, cooling for best to pay rules on the number of writing stuff employed on shows an invitations on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the writing process. Every day theres some news story about a i and theres no doubt that those services will continue to improve. And right now, as some of our members call them, theyre plagiarism machines and they have no business in the writing of scripts. But theyre still wouldnt mean production in hollywood can resume immediately suck astra a union rep, present some, a 150000 actors also began strike action on july 14th and they have not yet reached a deal with gta bosses. Some famous faces have shown disappeared. So the cause, the, our industry is a 160000. 00 actors for instance. And theyre struggling to make a living just to just to, you know, to eat. So and, and they werent, and many of them were making a very decent living before doing the exact same job. So its right to stand up active and making some similar demands to the writers, especially on the issue of a copyright. So there is hopes that they will be a full resolution soon and the hollywood can get back to work. You know, theyve been out of work for a long time. Now lets get to jason, kevin donia. He is the Los Angeles Bureau chief of mbc news radio div. Thats good to see you. The Writers Union is calling this unexceptional deal, but we really dont have many details. Im assuming that though all of the boxes have been to is that true . So, you know, thats what were hearing, that theres been some major development. It seems that im sure that they dont want to release the details of this deal as not to sway Public Opinion or sway voting. Members of the va, the Writers Guild of america, that deal that is been generally reached. Theyre still formalizing some of the legal language to make sure that everybody is getting what they were promising. All. And once that deal is voted on and approved by the va board members, then well find out some of the deals about like a i, and how many people can were going to show. And how many writers need to be employed on a shell or whatever magnitude . I say its going to be interesting to see who gave up what in the long run. Yeah, and amy, this is really the 1st Big Industrial action we have seen where a i is, is an issue and disagreement. Its going to be one of the 1st a i agreements that have been reached. That is unprecedented. We know though, when the writers are actually going to be able to do what humans do and, and get back to, to work. You know, were not exactly sure on that right now. What we do now is that the Writers Guild has the edge, the picketing. The striking will stop right now. We will not go out to the Hollywood Studios with their signs and add people on their horns and call attention to the issue. But youre right, this is going to be one of the biggest a deals and you know, its going to be one of them. The more evolved language when it comes down to what a i is. Because if you go to chat g to be g t p or whatever it is, go to one of those a i apps and you say write me a rom. Com, about a man and a woman who met when they were kids. And having seen each other in 30 years, theyre going to write a movie script that are basically the Hallmark Channel of movies. Yeah. And its very easy to, to duplicate. And so it puts a lot of these people who are already struggling out of work. I got about 20 seconds please. Let me just ask you what. What does this mean for the, the actors strike . I would be really surprised if the actors dont come to an agreement fairly soon. Youve got the writers back now. Looks good. The actors back and a lot of the same issues with the Writers Guild, the actors have as well a i being the biggest lot in residuals being and other. So im sure the disagreement will come fairly soon. Okay. Yeah. Well, why in the world, but well certainly be waiting to find out if there is a double in the details, especially with a i. J as in kemp, it only l. A bureau chief with mbc news right here. Jason, thank. Thank you.
