Announces another 3000000000. 00 and 8. 00. Iran accuses israel of trying to sabotage talks to revive the 20th day nuclear deal. A court in time ad rules, Prime Minister, pre op channel check can no longer stay in office 5 years on no closer to home, the daily struggle for him. Good. Living in the Worlds Largest refugee camp and its for sabrina williams. The steps of her preparations for could be the final tournaments of her career thats 23. 00 on grandson champion has been practicing at the author rush stadium ahead of the upcoming usaa. Its 6 months to the day since Russian Forces rolled across the border into ukraine. What russian president Vladimir Putin called a special operation has cost thousands of lives and turned more than 6000000. 00 people into refugees. It coincides with muted celebrations in ukraine, mocking 31 years of independence from soviet rule on the same day ukraine marx, this milestone the u. S has pledged further at 2980000000. 00 in military 8, bringing the total spent so far to nearly 13000000000. 00. While a small number of people have turned out on the streets of cubes made on square, any large gatherings have been banned in the capital and curfews imposed in some other cities. President Vladimir Lansky is warned. Any russian attack would be met with a powerful response. And im not really got, well, not only care about the land and the we will fight for it until be in line with we have been Holding Strong for 6 months. Its tough, but we have clenched fist and we are fighting for our destiny every new day. As a reason not give up, after such a long journey, we do not have the right not to go on. What is the end of the wolf for us and we used to say pace. Now we say victory. What we will not seek an understanding of the terrorists, but it will, i will head of the white house shortly. We are corresponding kimberly how it is standing by for us at 1st speak to to visible who is in keys and to read that we can see there are some people fill out on the streets despite those warnings. Whats the sort of mood there . Why thats you just said 31 years from independence from soviet rule. Its also 6 month since this war began. Were here in my down in the center of give, not far away from independence where, where people have been coming here steadily in a way to remembers those they have lost or to talk about the war of something that has been very, very traumatizing for them. Were here right in a memorial thats been put with flags right here. Its are with people that have been killed in during the war. Thousands of people have been killed and injured and millions have been displaced by the conflict. And people are coming here and theyre writing on this book that you can see. Right where i am. There are stories of personal loss and what has been happening to them all this months pictures of soldiers that have been killed. Another type, the story is when theyre telling us that they want this to be a part of history of what has happened in this country this past month and right behind me. If you can see, are all those russian tanks that have been destroyed in this past 6 months, they had been put here as an act of defiance or government authorities were saying that there were russia was hoping to be parading their troops through this plaza when this war began, and this is what they got instead destroyed tank. So suddenly theres a, have lots of meaning on this day for people here. And when you talk to them, they say that Independence Day for their means being closer to europe, being closer to freedom, being closer to human rights. And they want to be further away from moscows authoritarian rule. President phil lensky raised the alarms that had some point saying that russia was planning some type of strikes, ugly strikes across the country, International Intelligence agencies. I did the same thing. We have been listening to the sirens, hearing kid for a while, at least 4 of them went off. But people continue to walk around this area mostly because many say that theyre tired of being afraid. So suddenly, you know, theres a lots of significance to that. People defying becker and threats, but at the same time, the government is asking them to be careful that there is no guarantees that anything could happen any minute. Because there have been threats made in the past and suddenly theyre asking them to take the sirens. Very, very seriously. So bertha, in a way, an Independence Day with a different meaning. People here are saying that this time, theyre seriously fighting once again for independence. And that right now, its not about peace, but its about winning the war and to his mother for us and key of thank you. Its course over now to our White House Correspondent kimberly hallett, who is saw in washington, d. C, at the white house. So kimberly, what more can you tell us about this announcement of more money going from the u. S. To ukraine . Yeah, well i can tell you that this 3000000000 is the biggest Security Package in isolation so far, in addition to the 10600000000 that had already been supplied to ukraine. And what we can tell you about this packages that will include an armor, anti aircraft missiles to use against russian tanks and he lows up. But what this will also allow is for the acquisition, for the Ukrainian Military of air defense systems. I, our tilly, systems and munitions, but the real important thing to note about this is this, theres a real shift imposture. In other words, what this is, is buying and purchasing for the long term. Initially what you as Security Assistance was focused on was immediate needs. In other words, the pentagon supplying what it had in stock, shifting it over as quickly as possible. Now what this is going to be is utilizing department of defense contracts to purchase for the long term. And so this is a real significant shift because what this signals is that the United States is going to be supporting ukraine for the long term. And the long haul, now we expect the u. S. President is going to be returning to the white house in about 2 hours time. He has been at robust beach where he, vacations, he is going to be coming back to the white house for a number of events. He may be talking more about this. But what we do know is this is a significant shift in terms of the way the United States is supporting ukraine. What this signals is that we can expect that us forces could be in europe for the foreseeable future. Our house correspond, it can be help. Thank you. Lets bring in maximilian hess. He is a fellow at the Foreign PolicyResearch Institute and joins us via zoom from london. Thank you for your time. How long can both sides continue this war . Thank you for having me. Its a very good question. Utahs right now, it seems that the war is increasingly headed towards a quagmire. We see slow but grinding, very expensive, both in terms of material and cost of life. Russian advances in the dunbar, north of the city of the nets, for as well as some regular clashes and exchanges of territory in the south and south west between nikolai of, and i do think were going to see the russians push for another major offensive ahead of the winter, but that being said, i dont think it will be possible for them to take anywhere near all of them. Thats or to push north. Baron nikolai has been from harrison training and or something to counter attacks. So were already beginning to see the stages of the quagmire, but i think were governed throughout the winter. And the question then really shifts to the economic. Busy war and has russias economic state capacity been degraded by the spring that they cant buy a new major. If i ask you that in a minute. But 1st, at 1st, when Russian Forces went across the border, it looked like that and who she wanted to take keys. And then there was this refocusing to the east. What is it that russia ultimately wants to achieve . And has that changed over time . I think its pretty clear from what we saw in the early stages of the war. The more aims then were at the minimum, a collapse, ukrainian government, and the installation of the machine or control of all of ukraine used to visit labor river down to the south as well as ukrainian coasts. The southern and southeastern ukrainian coast have largely fallen through this conflict, but you can continue to hold sovereignty over. I think those war aims for bruton havent really changed. He might have given up at least on collapse and government in the short term. And in fact, the military invasion has had the opposite impact and has really boosted support for zalesky domestically. And hell have a lot of those vines, whereas his Approval Ratings were quite low before the military. Its very difficult for them to achieve anywhere near what his efforts were by this winter, or even an early spring. What were beginning to look at is it is a battlefield victory for russia, and that they have expanded their control, their territory of because and so clearly have failed to be achieved. Its a pyrrhic victory. One that may, over the medium, long term, proved to be a loss. Is there any sort of political off ramps now with lot of management . Hes saying he would not agree to freeze the conflict where it stands and give current territory occupied by Russian Forces over and also given as he was saying, the sort of squeeze on roches economy. Is there any all friends . Well, i actually think that if we do have this quagmire scenario in the winter, russia may in fact push for that, but not genuinely and sincerely. Well see the cram looks a push for a cease fire. Busy as they did in 20142015 with the mens one and mints 2 agreements in the hopes that it less than the pain of sanctions and therefore allows the russian economy and in turn the military to rebuild for a future assault. I think ukrainians are very aware of that and therefore not likely to engage the question is weve already seen the economic rushes counter strikes, economic war be self in europe, gas prices at all time highs concerns. This will affect support in germany and italy and a number of other crucial states are back in the sanctions regime. And if there is faltering on european support and then other western support for you. And then may try to use that as an opening to have those countries push ukraine into an agreement, and thats create tension between give brussels in the wider west as well. All right, thank you very much. Your analysis maximilian has their fellow at the Foreign PolicyResearch Institute. Thank you very much. My head on the news are including the south african unions call for a national strike. Frustration grows of a soaring living costs and unemployment class on Bernard Smith on the cost of o serbia border where row over car number plates has become a new flash point between the 2 summit and in support. One of baseballs most troubled franchises goes up for sale, and he is here with that story. Ah, israel says it cant, except a revival of the nuclear deal with iran warning. It will be used to destabilize the world. It follows accusations from Irans Nuclear chief that israel has been waging psychological warfare to sabotage are returned to the 2015 agreement. Iran has denied us media reports that it dropped some of its key demands from the deal. Israel is not against any agreement. We are against this agreement because it is a bad one because it cannot be accepted as it is written right now. It would give iran a 100000000000. 00 a year. This money will not build schools or hospitals. This is a 100000000000. 00 a year. That will be used to undermine stability in the middle east and spread terror around the globe. Santa towel, for by the john the joint comprehensive plan of action was the result of years of negotiations. The final agreement was meant to end all allegations. Under the deal iran except is to restrict his Nuclear Program and give broad access to inspectors from the International AtomicEnergy Agency to help in order to restore trustworthiness. And at the same time, all sanctions imposed under the pretext of the Nuclear Allegations were supposed to be lifted as now a criminal regime, which has a legal Nuclear Activities and doesnt give access to the ai, ai has stage psychological operations against iran over the past few days, we dont expect the i e a to continue its demand seemed. Yeah, and its not acceptable for it to do so. Sure. Its going to cost to bury his life. I sent to ron dorsay, so israel says the deal shouldnt go ahead as it is. Iran says israel is waiting psychological warfare will tell us more about it. What iran is saying here. While according to the official, we just heard mom at the army who is the head of her on to help me get into your organization and better received the countrys Nuclear Program. This is exactly what radians have expected from israeli officials to try everything in their power to sabotage negotiations that are ongoing between to her on and washington through the europeans in vienna. And they believe that israel is not really interested in any kind of a law in the tensions that are continue between iran and the United States. Regarding the con, this countries Nuclear Program, for example, over the past years, since the officials here started the negotiation process with the officials in vienna, theres been a number of attacks in iran nuclear facilities, as well as a number of ranking high ranking officials within the countrys military establishment, all of which the iranian officials have blamed israel for, and israel has denied that it was all according to the iranians in an attempt to derail. 6 these negotiations and the re, needs for their part have stood their ground saying they will continue the dialogue because they believe that going back to the deal of 2015 is the best way forward. Iran is not interested in several times with the international community. They want their countrys economy to reopen to the world, and they are interested in the United States, rejoining the nuclear deal after former President Donald Trump left the deal in 2018. There is a sense that is, as these talk get more and more serious and they get closer to reaching an agreement that israel, who has been against this the from the start, will continue to put pressure on officials in washington to try and tell them that their shouldnt go back to the for the radians, its very simple. The u. S. Comes back to the deal after they left it. They want some guarantees that if the next administration in washington does the same thing as donald trump, they have to be constant, compensate it financially for that. And theyre also adamant that all the sanctions that were reimpose on iran after trump left the deal have to be lifted for iraq to go back to full compliance and scale back its Nuclear Program for now. The or a news, a waiting for an official response from the americans about the latest proposal thats been put forth. Whether your parents have called the final draft of an amendment to return to the nuclear deal of 2015 jabar. Theyre in toronto. Thank you. The us military says its carried out a strike near the syrian city of there is or says targeted facilities used by groups affiliated with around the revolution regard. The Us Central Command says the strikes were to protect its forces from attacks carried on by iranian backed groups to ron is denied any linked to the targets hit by the us a work as a striking across south africa. Theyre angry because of the rising cost of living and unemployment. Its go straight to for me to miller, who joins us live from pictorial for me to whats happening there. Well, people are just beginning to leave the march. They will from the central pretoria to the union voting the seat of government along with their leadership had over a memorandum outlining a number of demands. Then much of it is around the high cost of living, the high cost of fuel. Its the highest, its ever been. Inflation is also the highest of being in at least 13 years and people are much of them. The working class is saying that they simply cant afford the cost of foods, electricity, and transport. And even adding to that many say that they were unable to come in, this is what the union has to say. Many of them was unable to attend the march simply because they couldnt afford getting to this venue. Now, the union saying that the government hasnt done enough to address work, it needs even in terms of a salary hikes, teachers unions. The spoken to yet have not a salary hiking, at least 2 years. And given the in station and the cost of living in south africa, its a struggle for them to keep up with just day to day demand for me to striking work has been, have discussed what their grievances are. Whats the governments response likely to be the government hasnt responded to them yet despite perceiving that memorandum from Union Leaders this afternoon.
