the same time abandoning its other green initiatives with from mosque out of the world. this is our to international. i'm mary jo blevins and here are the top stories at 7 am. we begin with reports of

pleated and todd ukrainian troops are again ordered to attack. these drone footage was provided to us by russian soldiers . they monitor enemy activity around the clock and cooling fire. when the opportunity arises. during a lull in the shelling, we drove as close to ground 0 as we were allowed. because of the situation, it is at this time incredibly difficult from a security perspective to film anything, anything we film could give away. troops, positions, defensive positions. ah, what troops stationed where with, with what weapons? taking that into consideration, our options are very limited, but this is the frontline beyond us. beyond us is no man's land also, that ukrainian positions we have learned that the offensive here is about to resume the counter offensive launched by ukrainian troops. urine have san region which has so far been incredibly unsuccessful in all over the past week and a half ukrainian forces have taken over about half a dozen small villages and settlement ukraine's exact losses are secret, but they are said to be formidable. cucumbers. yes, ma'am. from what i know, at least 400 wounded, ukrainian soldiers have been delivered to the hospital of the ministry of internal affairs and nichol life. in total, the cities hospitals took more than 2000 wounded ukrainians when he was no space left in the morgues. far away from the front lines in newark, a healthcare, the american supplied high mas rocket impacted on the part of block, killing 6, billions. this has become the norm here, and it has only gotten worse, which is what many locals feared. spiteful strikes, launched by cave to avenge it so far, failed counter offensive. more ad gasdio r t from kennesaw region. the u. s. has announced to more military aid packages for ukraine and its neighbors worth billions of dollars that as us secretary of state antony blink and made an unannounced visit to kiev on thursday. the new american package also includes aid for several e u countries like poland, lithuania and romania, which blinking deems as quote at risk of future russian aggression. this brings the total amount of money washing to has given to ukraine since the start of the conflict over $14000000000.00. germany meanwhile, has promised he have additional weapons and pledge to sponsor training at new crania and soldiers, as west or an official mad at the u. s. air force base in ramstein, germany, the united nations of the united nations urge the international community to be more transparent about the flow of weapons being sent to crane as it has a devastating impact on civilians caused by heavily arming ukraine in early june intervals. chief, also voice his concerns over the destination of the weapons, said ukraine. he warned that once the conflict and criminal groups or try to exclude the availability of weapons, he says a wave of arms will flood illegal, global weapons networks, and in the hands of criminals. before blinking departure, one washington post journalist asked the state secretary, what accounts for the disconnect between us shipments of weapons and ukrainian soldiers saying they lack the munitions they need. and i read some of your very, very good calling. the russians are, in many of these instances throwing everything they have at your brain in soldiers and civilians, and they're doing it industry. and if you're on the receiving end and that it's gotta be incredibly earlier i spoke with retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. karen, quite cowski. she says the flow of weapons serves is a welfare program for the u. s. military industrial complex. most of the weapons that need that's being provided is really pretty mundane. it's not top of the line stuff. a lot of the stuff is right out of inventory. and it, it is really, this is gifting of our inventory to ukraine and other countries is very much a domestic management tool for the military industrial complex which needs to buy more stuff all the time. and this provides an opportunity for defense companies, particularly the major ones that really are the establish events in this country to make money, to, to win contracts, to put forth new ideas or new weapons and that kind of thing. so we have to understand part of this as a domestic welfare white collar welfare program back in the united states as your complex. that's a big part of this to get the kind of transparency that would, that would, we should all expect in something like this. pressure would have to be put on the korean government. certainly it's, it's political leadership and it's military leadership. we're not putting any pressure on their government, their government, but in all you can do no wrong. and any criticism of their government is seen is unpatriotic in american on this end, and we're just not going to do it. there's not, i think, very few congressmen standing up or no senators are standing up to condemn this. m. s n b c host mattie hassan during an interview with former near times journalist ben smith says that the news media should get read of quote, both sides of major issues being discussed. there are 2 words we need to move from our media of a cabinet right now, and that is both sides. this fundamental crunch this reliance on both sides is it kind of lazy way of covering political is deeply dangerous. there are a bunch of major issues in which there are not both sides, both sides on climate change. there are not both sides on white supremacy. there are not both sides on democracy, but they're not both sides on the holocaust. however, not everyone agrees with the call for one sided coverage. here's a sample of some reactions on social media. while there's no risk of hearing both sides on m. s m, b, c. so he should feel right at home about there are 2 sides to every single story. but authoritarians of to census stage, especially when they're visa, trash, and cancer in the army. saudi is the only way to get people to accept them. being honest and fair is only deeply dangerous to those who are dishonest and corrupt. the moments journalists become bible, they have stopped working for the people. legal and media analysts ally and shared with us his view on the media covering just one side of the story. when you look at media, i, when you look at a lot of these various platforms that pick out the most, quote outrageous things that were said, they save us the time and the waste of time that we would have to go through in watching this dreck in the 1st place, so what, what it is is it's one insane thing after another the idea that you would have a television show or any type of journalistic platform designed to get to the truth or what is believed to be the truth. and you cut off the other side or the other, somebody who's maybe explaining your error. and then you say, this is good journalism because there are no 2 size. i will make 11 bit of a, an exception. sometimes if i think if we were talking about, let's say, a scrawny or a new planet or a black hole or something, astro physics related and the other side presented was, let's say an astrologer. that might be the other side. i don't particularly care for. but in international conflicts known, this is absurd. ah, china and india have begun steps to and their military stand off and the disputed eastern la dac region near their shared borders in the himalayan mountains. india's defense ministry has described it as a step towards ending in almost 2 year long confrontation between the countries. the indian and chinese troops in the area of gogo, hot springs have begun to disengage in a coordinated and planned way, which is conducive to the peace and tranquillity in the border areas. the decision to pull troops from the contested area comes amid their run up to a meeting of the regional shanghai cooperation organization. next week were indian prime minister there and remote and chinese president shooting thing are expected to take part. beijing and new delhi have been engage in the complex since may 2020, when the chinese army allegedly cross their control line and eastern lead back a month later about 40 chinese soldiers and 20 indian troops were killed in clashes after that. both sides increased deployments in the area. and since then there have been more than a dozen rounds of peace talks. we spoke with india, an air force veteran and math. this warrant, who talks about the importance of relations between india and china and the need for a multi polar world, particularly the chinese, but not willing to, you know, get back to the original position most of these and they were shipping discussions . but finally, they come on because i think it can be international climate, since it's simply important for india and china to see how important these 2 are in getting together. they're wanting to address the larger problems and the progressions the world order needs to become truly must be polo. and i believe the chinese look at it from that dialect. well, i mean though they are very the one that needs to be american position with respect to you know, them, and i think a particular country thing a country is better, mobile be louder is their view and that is not shared by the end in 5 minutes. of the nonsense to be the big that is not shared by the us that to vote on whether to ban the harvest and burning of trees, which partly satisfies its energy needs. however, some nordic and central european countries oppose the proposal as they are crippled by the energy crisis and need the alternative fuel sources. that's according to a media report. in documents circulated among lawmakers about the proposed rule change lead the a warrant of a possible negative impact on investment and businesses. denmark argued that these decisions should be left to national governments at winter without reliable russian gas balloons over the debate. this comes, some countries have been burning wood pellets for decades. the report states that burning wood is even more harmful for the atmosphere than burning fossil fuels. moreover, the forest that are converted to pellets are considered to be europe greatest green asset for reducing carbon dioxide from the air. all of that, despite the use repeated calls to expand its green agenda. the european green deal is our roadmap towards climate neutrality. but it is also, and crucially our new growth strategy. we know, for example, that our current fossil fuel economy has reached its limits and we know that we have to move on to a new model. one that is powered by innovation that has clean energy. that is moving towards a circular economy. and this is why we set out to make the climate goal. not only a political aspiration, but also a legal obligation. abraham as the mere professor of philosophy in as symbols those european nations are now seeking the cheapest way. they can resolve their energy issues despite a number of other environmentally friendly options. they have. we have to understand the mo, european politicians, job growth isn't this part of the demo minded mentality. you see, we have a renew with energy. we have new options. we can use, but they are, i think they are going for the cheap, well, i know the big companies who, you know, know uber philosophy just, you know, exploit everything for, maximize the benefit. they have to find solutions for, you know, in the, in the short term or so little different countries, especially the day who has a good, who has a colonial legacy. they left their old colon lotto problems. the exploit that did miss your resources, therefore they'd photos, their threes, they'd mines. so today they don't have experience to old companies problems. if a local officials have their way, the residence of the dutch city of har lot will no longer be able to see, meet advertisements in most public places in their city. as the cities, officials have voted to ban it to 2024 over climate wos, however, following the green policy in the sphere hasn't stopped the government of the netherlands from lifting a cap on energy production by coal fired power plants at the same time. r t contributor rachel marsden brings us more details on the story. in the interests of fighting climate change, the dutch city of harlem has voted to ban all meat advertising beginning in 2024. i'm surprisingly, this is music to the ears of green activists who want to dictate how everyone lives their daily lives. whilst any environmental benefits cannot be expected immediately from an advertising man, it sends out a clear message to the food industry that harlem wants the industry to invest in more climate friendly food. we also hope that other cities in the netherlands will follow the example of harlem and introduce similar ban. what exactly is quote, climate friendly food, please tell me that it's not a euphemism for eating bugs because that's being pushed pretty hard in the western mainstream media. but if benefits, quote can't be expected immediately for this policy and it's mainly just symbolic virtue signaling. then why bother at all with it, particularly in the netherlands, which is europe's biggest ne provider, and we're an estimated 95 percent of citizens eat meat. why not just leave people alone to live their lives and eat their stake while the greenies can eat all the bugs that they want to? if that's what they seriously think is going to control the temperature of the entire planet. the fact that they even think that shows what kind of control freaks they really are. what's next? yanking advertising for vacations, for cars and for consumer electronics or for anything else that has a so called carbon footprint. as you might imagine, some dutch folks are pretty upset. the authorities are going too far in telling people what's best for them. banning commercials from politically born motives is almost stick tutorial. it's an unacceptable violation of entrepreneurial freedom. the netherlands isn't the 1st place to try to cater to the greenies and fail of he can restaurant in britain called the mango tree, had to start serving meet just to keep afloat. some of its ideologically rigid customers, said that serving meet would be worse than having to close. clearly they aren't the ones having to pay the bills. the operators of an award winning cafe called the kitchen at london house on the isle of wight were so fed up with being bullied by v in customers for not offering enough choices for their v in needs. that the operators ditched plant based fair altogether. you see if you give green militants an inch, they'll soon want a mile. dutch farmers spent the summer protesting against top down european rules that could result in farm closures over excessive cadel emissions. ah. in this week, the agriculture minister in the netherlands resigned after just 9 months on the job saying that, well, he just wasn't the right guy for the task. but what's with dutch public officials peddling all this green extremism. when the dutch government itself has just revived pull power plants in response to ease sanctions on its own energy supply, the cabinet has decided to immediately withdraw the restriction on production for coal fired power stations from 2002 to $20.00. 20 for our country had prepared this decision with our european colleagues over the past few days. talk about the height of hypocrisy. this energy minister is the same guy who bragged on twitter in 2019 of heading quote, to walk an era with less full and more solar and wind energy, all wall posing in front of a cold plant whose closure he was celebrating. another firing it all back up again . these greens just love to tell people how to live with their insufferable and pre she behavior and policies. but they're emotionally driven policies are clearly not successful. and they're certainly not consistent ones. and why should anyone be obligated to give up a long standing family farm or their way of life in order to cater to someone else's whim? ah, un secretary general, antonio gutierrez has called for quote, massive global support for pakistan were devastating. floods have effected around 33000000 people and claim more than 1300 lives. buck houston needs massive financial support to respond to these cries is, depth support is entirely necessary and it is not a method of solving that it's, it's a method of justice. his remarks came as he arrived in islam of that to see the devastation in the south asian country. he said the floods have caused nearly $30000000000.00 worth of damage. the u. n. has launched an appeal to raise $116000000.00 to aid pakistan, but the country's prime minister stressed the need for an infinite amount of funding. meanwhile, a number of countries have begun to provide support as more than 50 humanitarian flights have already landed in the country here some reaction from locals on the international aid that's coming in. i think the bellagio hannukah, many people were killed and became homeless and our economy has been destroyed. they must reconsider our needs because how people are so poor and they are worried about their future again. why would they that you by the amount the you and has analysed as aid for pakistan's flood victims is just peanuts compared to the u. s. 8 of billions of dollars for ukraine winds 1000000000. nobody senior staff reporter at the news international newspaper and pakistan may tab, hey dar says that their response so far is falling short of what is needed human did in crisis did. is it still a possibility of food shortages the you and pleasure. p. as so far and no $160000000.00 only, it's just a premium. there are 2 elements which are you want to highlight bunny's donors pretty. that is the major issue. but the more important thing is the double standard. because vent pakistan was started standing on the right side of the registers after 911 and then the upgrade occurred in 2005 and then the flood occurred in 2010. then focused on was the ally of the registers. there was generous in, in florida from all day to dr. donors, but after the 911, when the things have not changed after the redraw all of us troops from afghanistan, not be at their least interested in bog, a thought. and it's being shown that pakistan has been isolated up august on has been standing and crying for the for need. but so far, good more attention is to what to do green. so the, so far the word response is very bleak and disappointing. north korea has established a new law saying it has a right to conduct preemptive nuclear strikes. if it's national security as under threat, the legislation also declares the country and nuclear power that will not engage in disarmament talks. that move comes as washington claims at north korea is set to resume nuclear testing for the 1st time since 2017 historic summits were held with ban you as president donald trump and other world leaders in 2018. but the talks ultimately failed to persuade young yang to abandon as nuclear arms development program chin do as senior fellow at the beijing base pan goal institution says north korean di nuclear zation is unrealistic. north korea is a nuclear. whether you, you, you basically claim it or not, it is a new day and you treated in, let's be realistic, creamy a lot effort and why d and nuclear live? the weapon perspective, korea. well that's, that's realistic. you know, what happened to libya? what happened to walk in leadership over there? i think throughout leadership, fully aware of the danger of giving up nuclear weapons briefly. so that would be just impossible for them to abandon the nuclear weapons. now that made it clear that you know what we leave off as we are here and know more about the, the nuclear or this is the response to the finished a lot the steel door to make it feel between united states and the south korea year . fallen off korea that prevents a threat and that that's very provoking well, north korean nuclear missile test remain impossible threat. it's still unclear which country provided the necessary equipment for young yang to begin is atomic weapons program. there are numerous reports that it was ukraine with his inherited soviet nuclear capabilities that provided the technology our gas gave us his thoughts on the matter earlier. probably we don't know for sure and, but the, the possibility doesn't exist. because we know with the class of the former soviet union, ukraine, important member of the former soviet union, the parish, nuclear weapons, and they other technologies that are about them. we know there's the corruption issue that can't be controlled by a few only got over there. but now because of the complex thing all the way media present, the crim as a, as a queen, as a defense space and the way the corruption, there's event like any foreign parties though and business people you can say no. here is a price and people what i want is illegal is, and the grand, it's all been falling and the report. and that the probably plans, whether the lack of knowledge are completely understanding of what really happened between go korea and the ukrainian. or you can use and other companies that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for the latest news. and i will see you again, right back here at the top of the next hour. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk i will never be a victory for russia. we will see what you're still waiting. i truly need not unless you look at a meal. ukraine, more is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. naz on are made, it comes to not shooting the 9 carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in your gage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are here and defend nato allies. what happens if nato escalates even more indiscretion? military operation become a war with national and that'll that doesn't is much i see it that i see you with with so you sleep you sure you can you stuff to with that are in your sewerage, no speaker to the girl who's with ah .
