Each away hasyyou russian roulette. Each day you can only guess who and what moscow will target next. Today, russian bombs killed people in an apartment block. They also killed a in a killed a 14yearold girl in a playground. The guided bombs moscow used to attack kharkiv, they are not ballistic rockets their main aim is to purpose, their main aim is to cause devastation and this is exactly what the kremlin wants to achieve, keogh says. There for they ask their partners to provide them with longrange weapons and president zelensky has already responded to this attack by once again calling on his partners to allow them to use these weapons to hit targets deep inside russia. Ukraine currently cannot use weapons provided such as missiles to hit deep inside russia and the ukrainian partners say that if they allow them to do so it will only escalate the war. However, the ukrainian authorities say that these weapons will be used only to hit military targets such as airfields from where russian bombers take off and attack ukrainian cities. On friday, ukraine's president zelensky fired the head of the ukrainian air force, mykola oleshchuk, days after an f16fighterjet crashed, killing its pilot. The f16 was recently sent by nato allies. It crashed while repelling a barrage of russian missiles over ukraine. Meanwhile: moscow is withdrawing 100 paramilitary troops from the west african country of burkina faso to fight against ukraine. The officers from the bear brigade a russian private military company will support russia's defence of its kursk region, as ukraine continues its incursion. 200 russian paramilitary troops will remain in burkina faso to help its militaryjunta. On saturday, at least 300 people were killed in one of the worst jihadist attacks in burkina faso in years. And russian president vladimir putin is set to travel to mongolia. It is first time mr putin will go to a country that is a signatory to the international criminal court since it issued a warrant for his arrest, alleging he committed war crimes. Icc member nations are instructed to arrest mr putin upon his arrival, a better word, this lack of a better word, this incursion on the part of the ukrainians, a successful one we may add, into russia has deeply deeply embarrassed and offended vladimir putin. He is responding with an increased air attack by missile, by glide bombs, into ukraine and this is an example ofa bombs, into ukraine and this is an example of a terrorist strike. We have to realise again that what these glide bombs do, it means the aircraft that release the bomb was flying over russia. As your correspondent mentioned it is only 30 kilometres from the border, kharkiv and from russia so they release in relative safety and then it is guided down to its target and it has almost 700 of explosives. They have larger ones that have 1000 of explosives. That is a devastating bomb. So i am not surprised with the damage and the casualties that this particular thing is called. Vladimir putin will keep this going. 50 vladimir putin will keep this oiiin _ vladimir putin will keep this iioin. going. 50 if putin continues this, going. So if putin continues this, what _ going. So if putin continues this, what do _ going. So if putin continues this, what do you _ going. So if putin continues this, what do you think going. So if putin continues this, what do you think the | this, what do you think the ukrainians can do? i heard a comment today from the danish prime minister saying that ukraine needs to win the war. All discussions about redlines must end. What are your thoughts on that? i must end. What are your thoughts on that? i think he is riiht. Thoughts on that? i think he is right sadly thoughts on that? i think he is right. Sadly it _ thoughts on that? i think he is right. Sadly it is _ thoughts on that? i think he is right. Sadly it is coming thoughts on that? i think he is right. Sadly it is coming a thoughts on that? i think he is right. Sadly it is coming a lot l right. Sadly it is coming a lot from washington, dc, from the american who placed handcuffs on the ukrainian. We gave them weapons. The us knows and we have encouraged other countries to give them weapons. The uk's missile mentioned, the storm shadow was a superb weapon and they should all be used to strike as deep into russia as the targets ukrainians are going to go after. And i trust the ukrainians when they say they are going after military targets as opposed to the russians will have launched this terror campaign that has been going over now for well over two years against civilians. So we have to allow the ukrainians to go ahead and just head back and head back very, very hard against the russian military. very, very hard against the russian military. The concern that has been _ russian military. The concern that has been expressed russian military. The concern that has been expressed by l that has been expressed by western officials including those in washington, dc was that in doing so and in using weaponry that comes from those nato countries is that it then opens up this war, potentially, further. The riskier a further escalation. Are you worried about that? do you think that is a point to which president putin may go to? we is a point to which president putin may go to? is a point to which president putin may go to? we would be full if not _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to worry _ putin may go to? we would be full if not to worry about full if not to worry about these things. Not to consider these things. Not to consider the implications of what these additional actions may bring with it. That being said, this is a war and it is a wall that the russians started. Ukraine has performed superbly. We have got to stop secondguessing the ukrainians. I hate to say this but if putin decides he wants to up the anti against the ukrainians, if they are allowed to use these newer and more effective weapon systems, then so be it. The ukrainians likewise will respond. Do i think it will engulf your? no i do not. That is not in the best interests of putin, he does not want that. Russia will be devastated. They will not be another russia to follow what would be left of if nato decides for whatever reason if nato gets involved in this thing in europe gets involved and europe has to come militarily to the aid of the ukrainians. I militarily to the aid of the ukrainians. militarily to the aid of the ukrainians. I want to briefly ask ou ukrainians. I want to briefly ask you and _ ukrainians. I want to briefly ask you and i _ ukrainians. I want to briefly ask you and i know ukrainians. I want to briefly. Ask you and i know intelligence can be seen on the ground on this but what shape do you think the russian forces are in right now when you look for example at the withdrawal of some paramilitary troops from burkina faso to continue to fight in this war. Does that tell us anything about the shape of russian forces? it does. It tells me that they are having significant manpower problems. There was reporting that you saw about a month ago that you saw about a month ago that the russian prison system is basically given up everything it can in terms of letting convicts out to go and fight for mother russia. So if they have to do redeploy folks from overseas and these adventures they were having in africa. Small numbers of people but if they have to redeploy small numbers of people that tells me they are hurting it comes to personnel. Tells me they are hurting it comes to personnel.

Four palestinians have been killed in an israeli air strike that hit a vehicle accompanying a us aid convoy in the gaza strip.

Here in the us, republican presidential nominee it has let's take a look at the state of the race with two experienced strategists: democratjoi chaney, and republican kristin davison. Thank you very much for being with us. Joi, could we start by talking about the interview last night. Harrison while sitting down with cnn and i think most of the remarks after that interview had been that kamala harris tended to fare relatively well. She came out unscathed. But that she may still like specifics when it comes to policy. Do you think she may need to fill in some blanks there was to mark the answer is yes. Mil blanks there was to mark the answer is yes. answer is yes. All candidates need to fill _ answer is yes. All candidates need to fill in _ answer is yes. All candidates need to fill in some answer is yes. All candidates need to fill in some blanks. L need to fill in some blanks. That is just the nature of the beast that is an interview. I thought she was fantastic. Better than came off unscathed, she came a strong candidate and a strong current vice president. Of course the meeting was not a policy conversation we went into a lot of detail so she will have to fill in some blanks there and i know that they will do that and release that over the next few weeks and months and then. . . .
