further south freshman forces have expanded their presence around the city of vietnam disc martinez. it's donna reports for me recently seized a former ukrainian artillery position there. this is one of the main artillery positions of the la guns people's republic militia, just outside the town of smitley. darcy, as we were heading this way, we completely missed it, because even from a short distance, this looks just like shrub, but when we were pointed at them and actually shown that this is big guns with well, lots of pamela with new toys, nutritional new stool. so none of our reserve hispanic and they completed their

mission with valor. those are not just empty words are part of the frontline has been stretched out and we keep moving from one place to another, but nobody is complaining. every one is enduring. the hardships with honor since the ukrainians fled the don boss. army could say good bye to the former long held positions and moved their houses further and witnessed the results of their efforts 1st hand. this was one of the most heavily contested strongholds of the ukrainian forces. here before they fled that way, beyond the town of smitley. darcy, when the militia made the decisive push to take this place, hundreds of bombs hail down on this bastion

yesterday. good. she missing? i was shooting at this position for 7 years and to be here now and look at all of this. it's a special feeling also, which was it's hard. i remember those who have fallen while taking this hill as well as those who were killed before ruddigore. we suffered a lot from this ukrainian position. you can see it has a great vantage point so they can see us from here. here they fought. here. their brothers in arms fell. finally, they can see that no loss was in vain. august dawn of reporting from the dawn bass r t a head of a meeting of you leaders on monday to discuss a potential new package of sanctions against moscow. germany's economy minister has said the blocks unity on the matter is quote, starting to crumble after russia's attack on ukraine. we saw what can happen when europe stands united. let's hope it continues like this for the summit. but it has already started to crumble. the new sanctions could include an embargo on russian

oil shipments by sea, but that has become a stumbling point within the block with angry being the most ardent poster of such a ban. the european union has tried to agree on a compromise for supplying russian oil through pipelines, but no consensus has been reached across the atlantic. western sanctions against russia have also reach havoc by disrupting supply chains. the u. n. world food program has warned that the conflict and ukraine has put latin america on the verge of semen with latin. american fruit export is facing an unprecedented crisis or t correspondent, ignacio who b a reports c. no sick go me. western sanctions against russia have contributed to an unprecedented regional crisis that has engulf latin american countries. the world's biggest export is of fruit. thank you, and that wouldn't us them in today. we can cooperate with one shipping company, only m s c body. it is the only logistics company in the world that provides shipping solutions between latin america and russia. america and america denies the

richest western countries in the private companies are attempting to strangle russian every aspect which has also damaged latin america, suppliers of brazilian apples argentinian lemons, and aqua dory bananas when it has suddenly found themselves hostage to a situation that increase transportation costs 5 to 6 times the pico single sag bases in, but you know that this is a real disaster for us in ecuador, there are many small and medium sized agricultural enterprises that haven't been able to export fruit. and as a result, it simply spoils. it will a globe producers say the russian market consumes a quarter of all bananas export from ecuador. in addition, 2021 russians accounted for 60 percent of argentina's exports of tangerines and orange josina rushers. also one of the largest importers of argentinian lemons, brazil's main food export as the apple, this year shower, who works in moscow plant to buy some 1200 tons of apples from brazil. the load of sanctions made the purchase impossible. and those brazilian manufacturers who

worked with his company have now incurred total losses of $15000000.00. if any will feel little evils in latin america, there is a number of meat processing plants and small producers for which russia was the main market. now they have to sell their products domestically or to other foreign markets where the price is much lower. for example, to africa, asia, or arab countries, or they are ready to buy these goods, but at a much lower purchase price, $1.00 of speculation, alec, another problem is russia's band from the swift network, which makes it difficult for sellers and buyers to make transactions rising fuel and fertilizer prices are only making things worse as the current crisis effects not only to free trade. sunday night, it negatively affects most food industries around the world. we must now make sure that this does not affect food supplies in the near future. us resulting in a further dropping living standards throughout the world. and i looked at our salad disruptions and supplies from russia have a negative impact on the latin american region as

a whole begin this is occurring while the un says that some to $36.00 countries will also be seriously affected. due to the stopping of wheat supplies russia than among those countries, or some of the world's poorest, such as somalia, syria, and the democratic republic of the congo ob, it's out of luck that despite the catastrophic consequences globally, some of the world's largest shipping companies have already indicated that they do not plan to lift the sanctions against russia. it looks like they are ready to go all the way well, no matter who suffers the most. his result, the guy rushes foreign minister, has slammed of the hysterics of western tabloids which have questioned the health of rushes to president putin. sir de la rob says the claims are unfounded and illogical resume putting these in, you prison. vladimir putin, the pearson public, on a daily basis. you can see him on television and read and listen to his speech of sickness . i doubt any reasonable individual could see in this person any signs, malaise,

or illness. i will leave that on the conscience of those who spread such rumors, despite their daily opportunities to see how your looks though, so used to across the western media. we're seeing these kind of click bate titles claiming that either vladimir putin, the russian president, is either dead or seriously ill. a number of outlets have already given their diagnosis. they've said that because vladimir putin looks, quote, bloated on t, v, that he either has blood cancer or parkinson's. now all of these articles site a source in, am i 6 that's british intelligence and who this source apparently says that a doppelganger has already taken vladimir putin's place. interestingly enough, though, this source qualified everything he or she said with the fact that it's actually impossible to know. because after all, we're talking about one person's impression of what another person just looks like on tv. when he go back and kind of dig into this, how does this speculation? how did it all get started? where does this come from? i mean, is this, is there any foundation here? well, this isn't actually the 1st time we've seen this kind of speculation making huge

claims about russia's leadership. what's interesting here though, is that the now discredited author of the steel dossier, that's former m. i. 6, operative and head of the russian division. christopher steel is likely the source of this, these claims. basically, that's because he's the only person connected to m, i. 6, that is actually mentioned by name in any of these articles. making these claims about the current russian president vladimir putin in terms of his credibility. even the western media has said that the steel dossier that he authored back in 2016 was utter nonsense. i mean, this made claims that moscow and the trump administration were colluding it ends in some shape or form and that ended up flat when it came to any evidence. so once again, we're seeing these kinds of speculative claims, no evidence. and this time actually an author who is proven to be not so credible in the past. so should people take it at face value? probably not. that use police force has issued

a stern warning that weapons the block has been supplying to key of may end up in the hands of criminals and thus cause further instability in europe. at some point, the war will be over. we want to avoid a situation like the one that followed the war in the balkans 30 years ago. the weapons from that war are still being used by criminal groups today. the you has already sent 1500000000 euros of military supplies to ukraine, and recently allocated another 500000000 euros for additional provisions. most of the 8 is going to equipment including weaponry, massive flows of weaponry to ukraine as well as entrenched corruption in the country were cited in a 2018 report as enabling the rise of neo nazi groups such as the as on petroleum for steve corruption and mismanagement in ukraine's armed forces provided a fertile environment for the formation of independent arm groups. these groups, which often labeled themselves battalions. the number of high level state officials

have facilitated massive arms flows to embargoed 3rd parties, often states under international embargo. even the u. s. establishment. media, which is usually gung ho in its support for ukraine has begun to question where the weapons being sent to that country will eventually end up. we heard from independent journalist thomas roper, who previously visited on bus territories once occupied by ukrainian troops. and he says that it is obvious, the uncontrolled supply of weapons to kill if is a threat to european secured i, you just have to follow the american media. when you see that there were hearings already in congress, and when the pentagon was forced to say yes, they don't have any control about the weapons after they crossed the ukrainian border. in the u. s. and the pentagon, they're talking about a black hole. the ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries, which is also no surprise and most secret, and they sending weapons then without any control it's, it's, it's clear that at least part of these weapons will come to the black market. but

this is nothing you of the west did the same in iraq and syria, and later on they had to say, yeah, well, these weapons, nearly all of these weapons came to the i s to the stomach state. it's a political wish of the west to support the ukraine against russia, and they do that on any cost. and looking at the 2000000000 retina and weapons, you have to check what they was having. they were sending the old weapons. so i don't know, for example, norway was sending anti tank to rockets, which were produced until 976. this is from the museum it's, it's quite simple and quite obvious that this is just the sponsorship for, for, for the weapon industry. it's not really about helping you create what helped us you crank it with, detain, weapons. that was that producing nearly 50 years ago, laughing officials have said that they are considering asking nato troops to use explosives to demolish a world war. 2 era monument to soviet soldiers in riga, the latvian capitals deputy mayor said that in response to a journalist,

question about the possibility for such actions. this comes as love is, parliament has been preparing a bill that if passed would make mandatory the destruction of all monuments that it says, glorify soviet or nazi forces. the law expected to be passed next month. that would affect some $300.00 soviet sites in line for the condemned monuments would be reportedly due to be removed by november, 15th riga has already dissolved an agreement with russia that enforced the protection of such monuments. controversial memorial in riga honoring soviet soldiers who liberated lafayette from the was recently the scene of public protests where the local authorities detained several people who opposed a ban on victory de memorization, the active site, the internationally acclaimed serbian film director and the coast to return wonders why instead of relying on history western countries appeared to be abandoning it, they want to raise the history of humanity,

which is ultimate stupidity. that is just the, on the agenda. most of the ex colonial countries. this started much earlier. they started 2004, mainly 2007. this and i, a russian sentiment was taking place in time all over the world, mainly in europe. after put the speech in munich, or what i could say, if we react on what is going on, now, we have to always go to the past. that's why i'm very much against destroying monuments. and there is something much more dangerous. i used to live in paris and my daughter was going to the french school. and certainly she was told by that is by me and by my wife, too early stage in her life to read pushing. and she came and she was explaining how she loved pushing a captain's daughter,

and now she was enjoy his literature and her teacher who was a fine and a good woman said, it's a shame. why didn't you choose somebody better than him? so you have to understand that there is always certain layer, both superiority that are unfortunately exploded during the hitler time after so many years. instead of gradually changing the profile of people are relying on history, we want to abandon the history and this is impossible. this is going to end up in, i would say, as much as you could control that much, your history will be alive. caseras' also commented on the ongoing geopolitical tensions between russia and nato. he cited the cause of a warm when the alliance stretched its presence into the balkan region by bombing of the republic of yugoslavia, which included modern day serbia,

and montenegro. 1999 was the beginning of for bringing nato into the our neighborhood or into our country, bombing and separating piece of our territory is now a back through the russian reaction which was a quite inspired by the fact that the last part to croatia and we lost seal, not, of course, or which was recognized by a major european countries. so when you speak about how course or was suffering and how much they were a bomb being and killing our kids, they used to say they used to call it collateral damage. st. people same media when somebody is killed in ukraine, they say poor kids and poor civilians. so how can you say normal and continue or functioning in the society do not to,

to not to put emphasis that this is about the same. if something is growth, little damage, and something else is the killing civilians is just unacceptable. because until the end of the, you know, one philosopher said french are for the low germans, are technology and subs for justice. and as much as i pay higher price for my sense of justice, i would never accept to be something else. and somebody else rising tensions over sweden and finland to attempt to join nato as turkey remains adamant in its decision to keep them out of the western military alliance. turkish president to one has said that as long as he is in office, those 2 nordic countries won't be allowed into the block because they support groups that are considered terrorists. the talks, our delegation has conducted with the swedish and finish delegations were

unfortunately not at the level we were expecting. they have expectations, but as they don't take necessary steps, they are still allowing the terrors to freely walk in the streets of stockholm and provide security to them with their police. on her is so strongly opposed to sweden and finland joining nato because it. busy says they have backed kurdish militants who have been fighting against turkey for decades. turkey has the 2nd largest military in the nato alliance after the united states. following the failed negotiations with sweden and finland. one has said that he plans to talk with russian president vladimir putin on monday earlier. my colleague, nicky air and discussed anchor as the current position in the nato blog with turkish political scientist owner seen on google touch since 1952 turkey is a member of nato and from 50 to 2. now that nettle was never really a lie or friend for search turkish national interests and quiet the use of rhythm

against the membership of these countries. i mean, none of them. in this, they are some negotiations between turkey, cir, purchased official, and also in april official. but i think there will be not a positive result from these are these meetings, these negotiations because ne toss and turkeys interest now is completely separate . it's not, we don't have any of you are not sharing any comments target or comments, potentially tomato, or the members of nato, for example. now, from the grain crisis, the day of attacking russia and they have a lot of problems with on a, on the other hand. but these 2 countries like russia and iraq, they are the neighbors of turkey, have relation with this come to give deep trade relation with this country. but when you look to the west and natal, that they think these country as the enemies take his relationship with nato, he's been fall from easy. and do you see there present friction as

a combination of grievances from over the years, it'll come to a hedge. do you think say, i mean should that it was a process because after they fold down those soviet union, there was no necessity for turkey to be staying the, as a, as a member or for me to do a quick necessity, doesn't consent to nothing. and now to keep it looking really good relation with our neighbors. for example, with russia now we have a, we have a corporation in traits in military industry like it's $400.00 saw today. looks like the x to mean x on the mortgage change in now with like in a dark period living in the dark that it now, but the east like china, india, russia, and turkey eat on is it, is rising up again. so there is no reason that turkey search for his future in on the west ah, clashes have a ruptured in the west bank between police,

israeli nationalists and palestinians. after jewish israelis marched through muslim areas of the old city of jerusalem, palestinian authority condemned to move as a provocation. palestinian factions have warned that the israeli flag waving parade could re ignite their conflict with israel. event took place on what israel called bruce them day. a celebration of its capture of houston, 967 red war protestors reportedly threw stones and shot fireworks at police who responded with stun grenades and locked some of them in the alex amongst the palestinian red crescent rescue services said that 62 people were injured including 23 who required hospitalization. these are some of the latest images from a ah

a domino effect which we are seeing. we are seeing lots happening in hockey on, i'm talking on these on the, almost on the launch of a civil war. we have seen what has happened to now funding san. i'm running some even a debt for i fear that thought you'd say huge, huge, huge minutes. we've been crisis and up on his son. torrential rains in northeastern brazil have killed at least 80 people and left dozens missing is according to the most recent government data. local authorities report that search and rescue operations will resume to mid a low in the rainfall. country has been repeatedly hit by extreme downpours in recent months. experts site climate change and of the poor construction of shanty towns as having increased the dangers of flooding and brazil. i that does it for me this hour, stay with us throughout the day as we bring you more news and commentary, this is our t international. glad have you with ah,
