ah you're watching the international. my name is peter scott and wherever you joining us from, welcome to the program. now as the conflicts in ukraine entered this 9th day, let's take a look at some of the latest developments. several steps have been taken to prevent further escalation of the conflicts. and the 2nd round of bilateral talks, russia and ukraine agreed to open humanitarian corridors, to ensure safe evacuation of civilians, along with the delivery of food supplies under medical aid. meanwhile, the russian ministry defense and the pentagon have established a hot line. although u. s. officials claim they have no troops in ukraine. the you also announces a suspension of near border cooperation programs with both russia and beller roost
9:02 am
elsewhere. the situation in the media there remains tense, thus distant channel on the american broadcasting after more than a decade on, on telegram channel has reportedly become unavailable in a number of european countries. riches media watchdog has blocks b, b, c, and georgia vela services in the country claiming they have been deliberately spreading misinformation about the goals of moscow's operation in ukraine. of course, a lot further details coming up in today's program. now russia has slammed the calls key as monstrous provocation and europe's largest nuclear power plant. zappa was near a defense ministry spokesperson gave details on the attack on the russian control plants overnights and claimed it was an attempt to blame russia for causing a major arts. if hotbed, i'm not sure. last night the nationalist regime attempted to carry out a monstrous provocation on the terrace tree near the power plant on august, the 4th at about 2 am,
9:03 am
while patrolling the protected area near the upper regia nuclear power plant. a russian patrol was attacked by ukrainian sabotage group to provoke return fire on the building. they fired the russian service men from the windows of the training complex, located outside the power plant. a russian patrol responded with small arms fire suppressing the ukrainian firing points in the building of the training complex. during back, the ukrainian sabotage group set the training building on fire from statements from president zalinski on the ledge threat, the nuclear power plant and his talks of washington and london leave no doubt that the kiev regimes provocation at the plant was an effort to accuse russia of creating a hot bed of radioactive contamination. this is evidence of the key regimes, criminal intent or the lens. his complete loss of control over the actions of ukrainian sabotaged groups involving sort of mercenaries. meanwhile, president zalinski claimed that it was russian forces. you find that the nuclear power plant and
9:04 am
a fire in adjoining territory was caused by showing from both sides. he also said the attack on the foreclosure was a threat to world security. well, let's cross live now to richard, met her to the journalist and produce a welcome to the program. richard. now the cranium president has said that russian forces have targeted this under the nuclear power plants, which he says poses a direct threat to regional security. just how dangerous of an escalation is this in the fighting around nuclear power facilities? well, obviously i don't think anyone wants to see fighting in or near the site of a nuclear plant. i do think context is important though, because the head of the international atomic energy agency here in vienna, my friend grossi just held the press conference. he explained that there are only 6, only one out of 6 reactors as active as up our osha. no radioactive material leaks
9:05 am
the, the other 5 reactions were either in low power mode or just turned off for maintenance and no projectiles at all. hits any of the reactors, the reactors and damaged has been no leaks. what was damaged was a training building that was adjacent to the sites. now this, again, those conflicting reports about who started the shooting. i heard stories that, you know, ukrainian military were there and they sort of firing the russians who seized osha and the russians fired back. and then of course, you hear the other side of the story from the ukrainian presidents are claiming that, you know, the russians just attacked nuclear side for no reason. i really don't see the strategic value in that i, i think there's enough negative attention towards russia. i don't see why russia would go and attack a nuclear side. absolutely no reason. nevertheless, there was a bit of an exaggeration. i think a lot of hypocrisy too. so no matter what, what side of the story you want to believe there is a lot of hypocrisy and how it's been handled by the media. because let me tell you
9:06 am
something. when the lensky said that this is the 1st time in history that a country has shot at a nuclear side. it's just simply, i'm true. i mean, just last year, israel sabotaged to nuclear sites in iran. and i didn't see anywhere near the same kind of outrage that we're seeing now. and it turns out that all these headlines that russia shelled a nuclear side are just simply not true. it was a training building adjacent, and the reactors are completely on diamonds and everything is thankfully safe. whether you watch the onset, my, my 2nd question there. so, so moving on, what about accusations of deliberately targeting civilians? i mean we, we have seen the conflicts and civilians, the death of often being classified as collateral damage. do you see any hypocrisy or do you see that this conflict has been treated differently, or the one thing i've done is don olivia or iraq. yeah, i'm of course, as of august the, you know, just a few weeks ago, the new york times released an article about a, another one of these, arranged by a certain unit in the u. s. army called task force 9, which is again,
9:07 am
they've always claimed self defense in order to call an air strikes on things like civilian infrastructure like the, the top diamond syria, even though there was no danger. and so the u. s. bombs, this diamond syria. and thankfully the menu should never exploded. it did cause damage and it. busy it almost did cause the dam to overflow, but thankfully was saved in time. but even the technicians engineers who saved the day were killed afterwards by a drug strike by an american, jo, sorry, i mean just for effect stuff. and just to give you an idea how lethal this would have been if the bomb had gone off or the dam hadn't been saved, more syrians would have been killed by that one strike than all syrians and the entire war. so i really think enormous depart, prosy, in terms of civilian deaths in how this was covered. you know, you just mentioned very actually how the classes, by anyone about the age of 18 as an enemy combatant, which leads to a situation where you have 90 percent of people killed by us. drones who are just
9:08 am
bystanders who are not armed or not militants. who are not even the desire targets . and yeah, this is an absolute double standard in terms of civilian guests. and also in terms of nuclear strikes, again, i literally can't count the number of times that israel has struck an iranian nuclear sites. it's also struck a nuclear side in iraq and $981.00. and then again, a reportedly nuclear slide that hadn't been finished in syria in 2007. so it's a very, very long list and it wasn't anywhere near this kind of outrage. no, no, for sure. i'm a favorite of times. one more question. richard. now the 2nd round of russia ukraine stalks wrapped up yesterday. first, do think the points will be implemented and do think that there will be a breakthrough in these talks to end the fighting. i am just speculating right now . i would love for that to be a see fire right this minute and for everything to stop because, you know, really breaks my heart seeing this whole situation is very regrettable situation. i don't know what's going to happen though,
9:09 am
because we heard reports that during the beginning of the operation that you know, the russia had stopped the operation and requested talks of kevin and kev just they didn't respond anymore. and so the operation continued. so i think that was because washington and nato promised to lensky more weapons. i think they promised him more age and more support. and so he just decided to wing it and keep going. now at the same time, you see the troop movement, the russian troop movement is a very, you know, a very large pincer movement of or culture. and it's also called coming about where you praying is going to be cut in half basically. so i think the lens using the need for peace talks now as much worn pending strategy. and i really hope that something you know, comes to fruition because it's a very regrettable situation. and it can be solved in a few phone calls. you know, if you pray with simply forswear nature membership, this whole thing could have been avoided. it didn't need to happen. it's very,
9:10 am
very senseless and regrettable thing or richer. thank you very much for your insights into these ongoing ukrainian conflicts. that's which had met her journey from jews to thank you. thank you. are in the guns underneath people's republics, locals continue to enjoy incense battles between the ukrainian military and local militia forces. we have footage of the ukrainian command post been destroyed by russian drones. the post is understood her being controlled by the ida assaults battalion, which is a special ukrainian military units considered radical nationalist by russia. we also received footage of some of the damage in the golf course in the don bus region where shelling was reported, that this is mer publish. this video of a home hit during the fighting emergency services have been trying to restore basic utilities like water. no tricity. we're also send footage from 2 villages in the look, guns, republic, whose forces say they've taken control of ukrainian army stronghold and a vehicle. checkpoints, local authorities,

claim ukrainian soldiers have now withdrawn from more than 40 towns and villages in the dom bus are seized, maria, from notion of fall, this reports from one of them were now driving closer to the frontline to the area . is that the army here called liberated areas and it's completely different picture here. we just left the guns. we arrived in the town of nova, i dar about a 100 kilometers north of logan's, just day after the russian army took it under their control. you can see it doesn't look like there was any fighting here and we were told that's because the ukrainian army was not to actually resisting. they were abandoning their positions, living behind weaponry vehicles, armored vehicles, and actually everything looks absolutely peaceful. yellow and blue ukrainian flags, a steel everywhere here for 8 years since key of launched its counter terrorism

9:15 am
a 100 tons of humanitarian aid for civilians have been supplied. ortiz murat gasdio is in the city from wait takes of the story. one of the most pressing concerns now is the humanitarian situation and ukraine, the fighting. there has severely disrupt that supply chains and people are finding it difficult to find food. so here and crimea, ah, efforts are being made to supply people who desperately need that food with various canned foods as well as sugar sold, buckwheat, the essentials, to see them through the worst of the fighting in all more than a 100 tons of desperately needed food. the delivery of which has fallen on russia's emergency services at stake and not only people's lives, but the goodwill of the population. the city of mulatto population, 100000. it was liberated by russian troops largely without
9:16 am
a fight. it is deemed somewhat safe and is the 1st destination for these humanitarian a truck out of crimea. russia's mission here is to liberate. lot occupy as stated by putin himself, within hours of delivery. thousands across the city headed for distribution points where you can go to the stores, look around the city, and you'll understand why we're here. do this right? difficulties getting hold of products, maxine and they're a long keys. every layer which it was the year the citizens are very happy or peaceful people are happy merely as we spoke to more and more people understanding of what happened here. over the last 8 years, grew clearer, a violent, ideological purge, a reign of terror by the nationalists and neo nazis where any ideology but there is any positive opinion of russia was brutally suppressed, murders, kidnappings,
9:17 am
beatings, and threats abounded new order. the yes nationalists have come to the city that you can't really identify them until they gather in group growth. the situation is better now as earlier, there was much distraction, looters, robbing, taking away everything. ok, so when i see it was madness, i support the russian operation. and if we don't need such nationalism, we all need to live in peace. while there wasn't all that much fighting here in manitoba, that isn't to say there wasn't any. this ukrainian t 64 reportedly tank was destroyed ah, when it was caught by russian units entering the city. if along with a truck and apparently an armored personnel carrier which were evidently blasted apart, the battle, familiar to bull was brief and tame in comparison to other cities. the military's job here is done. the next phase isn't up the troops. it is prosecutors and
9:18 am
investigators working to identify and the rest nationalists and neo nazi still in the city. those complicit in horrific crimes. not only in the dom bus but all over ukraine. and as they work, we will learn the true scale of radical right wing tara that gripped ukraine for years. meanwhile, in the west and ukrainian city of evolve, volunteers have been building a bomb shelter in one of his parks is designed to hold around 100 people and one local explained. why was there the i volunteered in here and the help in to clean above bomb shelter because alvy leaf is still not in danger by 2, we have to be prepared term for ocean, an invasion. i recent change in one oller,
