ah, with with one civilian is reported killed and several others wounded in the shelling of a russian village near the ukrainian border, local official se ukrainian military committed the attack. meanwhile, almost a 1000 ukrainian troops to surrender at mario pulls as all stalls kill factory with captured neo nazis from the as of battalion due to stand trial for a legit war crimes. increase joints and turkey and blocking an attempt by nordic countries, finland and sweden. to enter nato, saying their security concerns have not been adequately addressed and passion food

and put the license my step. unrestricted access to what market. without in dotted impediment, the un calls on russia to restore food supplies to global markets has moscow puts a retaliatory ban on export the fertilizers and grains in response to western sanctions, over russia's military offense, in ukraine. with kathy law, director of studios in moscow. this is our team international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. at least one civilian has been reported killed and several wounded in the shelling of the russian village of china near the ukrainian border. the governor of the surrounding course region has accused ukrainian military of conducting the strikes, which damage to several houses, and a local distillery. emergency personnel have been working to put out fires and rescue local residents. earlier,

moscow had more ukraine not to attack russian territory, otherwise, the russian military would strike. he was decision making centers. these are the latest images released by russia's defense ministry from the dumbass city of marble, where more ukrainian combatants surrendered at the stall factory on wednesday. at least $959.00 troops are said to have handed themselves over to rush and lead forces in there. over the past 3 days or 2, it was done off comments. well, the fighters from the as of style still works, they keep surrendering again. the processes are going on rather slowly, but not because the militia internets, people's republic, or russia, are reluctant to take in these prisoners of war. but rather because there were so many of them, in fact, the commanders of the de nest people's militia. they have said that they estimated that there were, may be hundreds of neo nazi fighters and ukrainian soldiers hiding in the catacombs underneath. the as of south feel works, but in fact the actual number turned out to be around 2500. so more than 2000.

now again, people are surrendering neo nazis, us rendering soldiers, us rendering surprisingly, a lot of women among them. but the top brass, the top command of the as of neo nazi battalion, the ones that were making statements that were appealing to the pope, to the authorities, to the international community publicly. they are still down there in the bunkers and it is unclear as to when they will surrender. and in fact, what they're planning to do next. now those who are injured because there are quite a few of those they are, they receive medical care, they are in a very poor state. many have burns all over their bodies. many have lost limbs, or in general their, their wounds are infected. and in fact, it would have made all the difference if they had received orders to surrender earlier because rope white a few even lives may have been saved by the doctors have internet people's republic

. so, but again, they did not receive that order. they received orders to stay put the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian command, and made the decision to keep all those very, very badly injured people without access to proper medicine. again, to keep surrendering and those who are healthy, they aren't being placed in a hotel or anything like that. they are being placed role in the penitentiary for let's ease again, not because they have received any sentence already, but rather this is how the authorities here are sending a message that these people, they have been captured, that they have surrendered and they are prison is of war wounded soldiers who surrendered from our, your pulse as of stall factory have been sent to a hospital in the nearby town of noval. as often we heard from some of them in the line were being treated decently. there was no physical or psychological pressure on me. the food is excellent,

the doctors checked my leg and said everything will be fine. so a patient were being treated very well. i have a shrapnel wound and a torn tendons. they help us treat us and they said that after half a year of rehabilitation, everything will be fine for a student who has a doctors provided me with 1st aid bandages and food. i really can't complain. turkey has expressed opposition to allowing nordic countries at sweden and finland into the nato alliance, accusing them of having threatened to turkey's national security with economic pressure and support for militants that on cra, considers terrorists. you know, tony took here as being supporting the open door policy on nato, even before this war. but we got to this possible candidate already candidate countries. you know, we have also legitimate security concerns that they have been supporting terrorist

organizations. and there are also export restrictions on defense products. initial reports said turkey blocked to the official process of accepting finland and sweden into nato just hours after the nordic countries handed in their applications at the headquarters of the military block on christ says it's against seeing those 2 countries join the alliance unless they stop supporting rebel groups, particularly the kurds and hand over suspects that turkey says, are terrorists swedish and finish. officials have reportedly been planning to visit on crap for negotiations. but turkey the president says they should not bother trying to convince him without complying with on christ demands de ms. dunn, our only expectation from nato allies is for them to 1st understand our sensitivity respect and finally support it. so what is our sensitivity in protecting our borders from terror attacks? you won't give us bacteria. thanks, but you ask us for nato member shots. yes, nato is an entity for security as an organization for security. therefore,

we cannot say yes and the security organization being deprived security is the session of the 2 nordic countries would require the approval of all 30 nato member states with such a decision than requiring ratification by national parliaments in a process that could take a year. we have gauged opinions on the streets of the swedish capital, where some locals have mixed feelings about their country, potentially leaving behind its traditional neutrality. i think it's a part of our country within nato, also through military exercises of different time. but it still, i think it's a big shift for our identity. i think it's a bad one because we have always been free from such associations. and that would be a part because i can, i can discount people together with being depending on the

hoary. so i think it's the right decision to make right now, but that doesn't mean that we abandon our, our foreign or defense politics because we can change not from within. i think another hot bed of resistance within nato is in croatia with its presidents around the middle of which following turkey and stonewalling, finland, and sweden attempt to join the block. creation leader has called upon parliament and the countries representative to the alliance to shut down the deal, citing grievances that western countries have not pushed bosnia and herzegovina to reform electoral law to let local croatian community members have more autonomy. malott, which has also said that letting those nordic countries join the blog would be a quote, very dangerous adventure. meanwhile, i'm chris move has sparked renewed tensions within nato. as the u. s. and a number of its allies have been pushing for those 2 nordic countries to join the

block creases. prime minister recently asked the u. s. congress to next deal to. busy so advanced weaponry to turkey and denounced on cra as, quote, this is source of instability. the greek leader has also expressed concerns about biden's proposal to approve $400000000.00 worth of weapons for turkey, including missiles and equipment for chris fleet of american made f. 16 fighter jets. that is, while greece is processing a deal to buy the latest u. s. f. 35 jet 3 major force, a former turkish ambassador to the e. you told us that greece is in no position to buy expensive weapons from the us. the degree got to choose it and so there are several reasons. so that if it, for example, greece increases its territorial, well, the water is still 20 miles a year. that would be internal c for grease and in charge of ships. so what us permission to try it agrees now

is the army gets on the record, leave it behind the scene again, the united states now friends are playing a major role. another point, greece is bankrupt country and they're buying from united states to $13000000000.00 worth of the claims. for example, what does this mean? ho? who's financing the? and it is, if you consider to be a and a country und dash deeply and then no, this is fine. i think it is gaming, go. sure. well, on cra, has been pushing back against the proposed expansion of nato. some western media outlets have been spreading calls to isolate turkey within the alliance community and even pitching proposals that turkey should be kicked out of the block.

christmas policies that are on tonight. it's not to know anymore. it's time to external turkey. they don't let it go to russia, go to china, let it go to ron, written, turkish political scientist to own or seen on. all ton says that some western powers have been seeking to undermine turkey. is to this, amid the voice of state governments. it's normal for such needs and they will issue to come out again. stuart, if the western media objective, i would hope that the best that they would consider these facts. although turkey hasn't been a member of nato since 1952 western countries have never stopped the anti turkish activities. i mean, it was what kind of it is that the members of nato, like united states of america,

france, germany, belgium asked to be them and the finance and the others. also, they never stopped, not just the sport financially, but also financed for me to produce organizations like p j, k y, p g r, p y d, and the letters organization. also my personal opinion. as long as western countries, a doctor to national interest, it make no sense for turkey to be in the same idea with these companies. as i mean the church no more shared common interests or what he was with natal today. so i think that, you know, if the relation school like that between turkey and the best between the, the other nato, a member, it's possible that she quits in it.

ah, the west has called for unrestricted access of russian food and fertilizers to global markets. while at the same time finding moscow for allegedly exacerbating a hunger crisis in recent months and impoverished parts of the world. that is no effective solution to the full crisis. without reintegrating ukraine's woods with auction, as well as the food and fertilizer products produced by russia and bellows into world markets, despite the war and the russian foot and fertilizers must have and receive excess to world markets. without the indirect impediments, some of tried to blame the sanctions imposed on russian on the russian federation by the united states and many other countries. for worsening this crisis, this is false. russia is leading its war with another terrible but more silent weapon, hunger, and de privation. brazza has launched a grain warm,

stocking global food crisis, while un chief gutierrez has blamed to russians, actions in ukraine for worsening global food shortages. russia has outlined that the measures in it have put in place regarding food exports are aimed at protecting the domestic market. in the face of western sanctions saying, it's actually the west that is responsible for the crisis. food security has been undermined for several years by the illiterate macroeconomic steps of the collective west. they were escalated in connection with a wave of unilateral and illegitimate anti russian sanctions, which undermined confidence in western governments because of the unpredictability of their actions, as well as disrupted supply chains and created disruptions and international financial flows. the statements by western officials that their bands do not affect the supply of food and fertilizers or deceitful. russia and ukraine produce almost a 3rd of the world's wheat and half of the sunflower oil. with russia also being the world's number 2 producer of potash,

a key fertilizer ingredient of the hindered supply lines have contributed to emerging humanitarian crises and some nations. iran food prices have risen by 300 percent fueling outrage after the government. well, how much has not the change in prices is horrible. the new prices have limited my family's purchasing power on everything. you come under say because that was issued in the price changes have greatly affected everyone, not just us prices of meeting eggs and fruit have all gone up. drastically. prices rise within hours, heat on your ha, iranians make most of them meals with flour, rice, a wheat, even for us, a middle class family. the new price is a very high dish with the weaker class 8 macaroni instead of meat and chicken. now even that macaroni is taken off their dinner table, we have to eat plain bread and they are even rationing that plain bread to all. the prices of central goods have increased in iran in response to an economic crisis

with the country long struggling with us. lead sanctions un expert has highlighted the devastating humanitarian impact that the sanctions have had on iran. very important area is the area of all the compliance. that's why some of my recommendations are addressed and not only government of iran, governments which impose sanctions or international organizations, but also businesses, businesses quite often over comply and reject banks. for example, reject to do any turn sections with anyone who is beast of police in iran, i have been reported that even foreign country diplomatic agents are facing a problem to get the sellers to the bank accounts, as well as united nations organizations. so these issues, that's why i are really not even advice i request and not only now, but in the last more than the last year. i request governments are businesses bank

start to be actively engage and to develop principals, how to avoid over compliance. because over compliance affects human rights of every single individual in the country, not only are on of any country and to morrow it affects human rights beyond the borders of the country. europe has also been affected by food insecurity, with u. k. inflation and consumer prices having hit a 40 percent record at 9 percent last month. according to the latest data. the cost of the central's, like food and transport, have been rising record pace, jeopardizing the well being of low and middle income families. many have been forced to spend their whole salaries on energy bills and rely on food banks to feed their families. household costs are now up more than 50 percent in the u. k. and more increases have not been ruled out by the official regulator. right now. the country has the highest inflation rate among the strongest european economies as well as the g 7 to reduce expenses,

many have given up heating their homes and decided to go out less often. 44 percent of those surveyed have switched to cheaper food and public transport. and some people even have to get meals to tackle economic challenges. the government has allocated 22000000000 pounds to help, but admitted that it can't fully protect people. and the countries safeguarding minister has proposed people work extra hours or find a better job. make sure that people are able to protect themselves better. whether that is by taking or more hours leading to a better paid job, some people, they may be able to access additional hours. but of course it's, it's not going to work the people who are already working in 3 jobs. and that's why we need to have the other measures in place such as the all the help that we're putting into the schools that help with the local authorities. from the conservatives. for a long time, we get out of touch with reality. they're probably not really very aware of how

poor lives change is for people to stay sick in the normal becoming homeless. i'm going to rise people not just facing homelessness, but the ones who can understand the problem for you. so just when you talk about very poor people, i'm not employed how late i went by october already economy, suggestion costs will go up again. can be tough times ahead of how long can this all hold together? you know, how long before people, it's not the press and people themselves and so should need to start asking really questions. one of those will be, you know, how much money do we really need to spend? what should you spend when we should be spending 1300000000 pounds on military 8? so you can go, which could be spent on creating jobs or use training. joe biden has been among those accusing russia of spreading this information online with the

use of bots. but and you audit in the u. s. has revealed that many of the president's own social media followers might not be actual people or to use racial blevins comments. well, it appears the job i have isn't nearly as popular as, as numbers claim he is, at least on twitter. that's according to a reason on it, which found out a bivens more than $22000000.00 followers. nearly half of those are actually fake account. now this audit was conducted by the software company spark, toro and they use a tool to look at everything from profile pictures, your profile history to profile location. and then doing so, they found that more than 49 percent of the followers on the official code of the account on twitter are actually fake. now this all comes as billionaire on mosque has announced that he is putting his $44000000000.00 deal to buy twitter on hold. because he says he doesn't quite believe twitters claim. that less than 5 percent

of the accounts on their platform are fake. 20 percent fake spam accounts, while 4 times what twitter claims could be much higher. my offer was based on twitters scc filings being accurate. twitter c e o publicly refused to show proof of less than 5 percent. this deal cannot move forward until he does. now byron has yet to respond specifically to this report. however, in the past, he has talked a lot about bots or more specifically russian bonds. so it does raise the question of how he would feel about these new claims that nearly half of his own followers are those bots he claims to be so concerned about. the russians don't want me to be the nominee. i spent a lot of money on botch on facebook and i've been taken down st. biden's a bad guy the know on via and running. so it's battery biden, and it's also bad for twitter is current owners as it appears that the percentage of his followers on twitter that are vague is actually higher than his current

approval rating from the american people, which stands at just 39 percent. meanwhile, the by the administration has put on hold its plans to create a so called disinformation governance board initiative had faced weeks of backlash with critics describing it as a dystopian ministry of truth. one proposal was to allow verified twitter users to edit other users. tweets. in response to the outcry, the white house is newly appointed spokesperson has said that outside forces mischaracterized biden's initiative, the more it was put for it for a purpose. right. to make sure that we really did a really didn't address what was happening across the country. when it came to dis information, it's going to pause, there's been a mis character ations from outside outside forces. this is what's happening. there is a pause. we did not have an involvement in there, so you've got the white house trying to distance themselves. now from the whole ministry of truth, this information campaign, the press secretary, during the we know nothing about this. i may be showing by age,

but some people may remember the old sit. com, hogans heroes. we had sergeant schultz, costly saying, i know nothing. i see nothing and maybe that's what the vital administration is going to do now from completely yes, just about knowledge of their own ministry of truth. i think it's ironic that this, these guys are trying to do a dis information or ministry of truth to try and ferret out the truth. while we know that a lot of the information being put out on a twitter account and that he relied on with the whole russian hoax was, was just, you know, made up for you having this whole bought controversy on twitter. part of what this ministry of truth or disinformation was going to do is try to ferret out bots that were putting this information out there. i think there were probably less bots putting out this information than were followers of, of president biden. i think the best indication frankly, is that you're seeing democrats in the house in the us house retire in huge numbers . they don't want to go back to being back benchers. they don't want to lose their committee chairman ships. so you're seeing people that are leaving on the democratic side, and you've even got democratic consultants predicting

a slaughter at the ballot box this november. so i think everything that we're hearing from their side would indicate that to republicans. it might be good. so the republican side, the russian foreign ministry, has accused in the us of violating the international convention against germ warfare by alleging developing biological weapons in ukrainian labs prior to the russian military campaign. while jeanette, as she gets the materials received by russia, allow us to draw an unambiguous conclusion that inside the bile of orator is of grain. in the immediate vicinity of russia, the development of biological weapons was carried out with the support of private american companies affiliated with the us military department. russia has accused the u. s. and ukraine, of specifically violating articles one and 4 of the convention against producing and stockpiling biological weapons, rushes ambassador to the united nations, vassily to be, and has doubled down on those claims,

calling for the un security council to investigate. earlier this week, it rushes at president vladimir putin said moscow had obtained evidence supporting the allegations against the u. s. and ukraine. moscow suspects that ukrainian specialists were working to enhance highly lethal pathogens in collaboration with american counterparts who were allegedly in that country under diplomatic immunity . us under secretary of state, victoria newland previously confirmed that there were indeed american bio research facilities in ukraine, but said that they did not serve military purposes. former pentagon analyst, michael maloof, says that the u. s. has apparently been using ukraine as a proxy for illegal weapons research. united states isn't allowed to do that in the united states. and we've seen a summer issue arise with just the origins of coven 19 in which the united states is there. there's proof that and mountain evidence rather, that the united states did such enhancements in china when you're in

a conflict area and you have those pathogens around and something is hit, they're going to leak and they're going to get and there. and if there is no remedy for them, then that then that, that really affects everybody in that region. so i think that this is very, very serious. it needs to be the, the importance of it needs to be heightened. and that's why i'm suggesting that if that, if russian authorities have that evidence and it's very, very explicit and concrete, they need to take it before the united nations security council. moscow has accused the west to of an unprecedented surge of risk of phobia as an increasing number of russian sports and cultural figures have been banned from competing or performing in western countries. a ukrainian american pianist valentina, this visa is now also facing

a band in canada. the toronto symphony orchestra has officially cut her from their program over remarks she made about the conflict in ukraine and the dumbass. since 2015 list the thought and has performed for the residence of done yet sc and the may, 9th victory de anniversary, she held a concert in marble. we talked to the pianist but western attitudes towards russian artists. i was for beast, for 80 years. what have you been? because i was thinking like, 8 years ago in paris on untoward in one station save children of them bus. i think it's some kind of for almost sadistic pleasure. they think, you know, you're in europe, you and he said, well, we'll have to cancel rush and guess instead they cancel russian artists and still received. guess you know, i think would be quite so was if you cancel, guess if you don't like us so much and you don't cancel culture. i think that artists should not really express themselves politically in the station. i never so

comfortable that. and i also think that the audience would be able to listen to artist, you know, we should all leave our differences back home because when we listen for mine enough or chick calls scared beethoven, it's our come and harry fish as civilizations human being, it belongs to everyone, it doesn't discriminate. yeah. okay. gosti does not discriminate whether you like mr. horton or mr. bite. he doesn't care. this is about music. this about us. the managing director of one of the world's biggest opera houses has boasted up to 2 russian prank colors of being one of the 1st to band. russian artists from performing sergey dorney has discussed the bavarian state operas suspension of this quote. and very good friend of the larry give in his call with renowned russian pranksters, lavonne and alexis those players deal. last i did see i was the 1st to suspend russian artist 2, a closely associated with russian propaganda use of. and despite the fact that he is a very good friend of mine, he's my suspended, the orchestra director,

valerie gurdjieff. and this was despite the fact that we have known each other for 35 years, i also suspended our pricing and a trend co and some ballet dances who are very close to the regime. this is outrageous. i think this has no place in culture whatsoever. exactly, because we can only look to classical music. i don't talk about wedding marrow. it's the most non violent art, you know, unlike even cinema or theater, or pink and it's, and it's non while and we can express while it's, we're neutral. hill music starts. we're hurts eds, and we cannot do much in or we can say that we're pro b as we're against something, but all we can do is play of psion. and when is the steam with director of you know, by widen or better says that he divides people in groups accordion towards the sea . and i also had the experience, i had little cancellation letter from what a big european 1st you're also by wire in my so european weeks and after i perform

it in body and for people with disburse in the road to me. unfortunately, because you performed with on such a day in mighty opal, it means to you actually support which is aggression that does it for me. stay with us throughout the day as we bring in more news and commentary, this is our to international ah ah.
