a name that is soaked with infamy, a ukrainian battalion, so murderous sadistic and perverted, that even the ukrainian government wanted them gone yet 7 years on half to their rest and disbandment. that headquarters still stands in what remains at the school . it's been 7 years since coronado spray painted this insignia on the walls of this school. it was shut down soon afterwards, the kids couldn't come back than what they had done this place into a a torture pit. full of misery and pain, but much more recently, just 2 weeks ago, another neo nazi volunteer battalion was also stationed here. that is as off they also the fall, the walls with their own insignia. you can argue which is was as of nationalists, butchered thousands of civilians and mario bull,

but tornado. it was so much more revolting, say, even ukrainian officials lim letter stolen when the tornado commanders were detained. their mobile phones were seized when there was some scary footage on those full incident footage of sex origins and rape. there were rapes of under age girls. no one will ever know precisely how many people they mud tortured and raped . here the court case against thrace lime, only shanker and his henchmen consisted of 8th he tombs had more than a 100 witnesses and victims. but that is believed to be only a fraction of them as locals told me. oh, okay, regular people and miners were brought here who picked up people from bus stops, were going to their jobs. this according to the people who were taken here. that put people on their knees, asking where to serve in the army. who are you waiting for here? they were looking for separatists. they were telling people you had

a referendum here, so you are separate us. this is where they had a torture chamber according to accounts. the brought people here put them on their knees and so on. but of all this happened here right here in this room. people came out with bruises beaten, and some were not found at all. yet my friend's son disappeared and still hasn't been found from a village alone. 5 or 6 people disappeared. i don't know why they did this. maybe because they are been tara followers and nazis. at its inception, in 2014 tornado was formed from the remnants of another disgraced ukrainian volunteer battalion shocked your task. a quarter of the volunteers who formed tornado were convicts. as they grew and recruited, that percentage only increased what us business there were a lot of them with prison tattoos. convicts can easily be recognized by their

behavior. we were picked up at the bus stop, i didn't have my passport with me. they checked us with some were released, but some were not as a result and i was on my knees in my former school. they tied my hands. i stood like that from 6 am to 8 pm, when one of them would come up and point the muzzle at my neck like this and pull the trigger. it all off, we'll go. this was once, only jenkins caught us. turn into a dump a trash while by via ukrainian troops stationed here. now, safe, still an open 3rd, mon. those its only shenker was arrested and tornado was disbanded in 2015 lot of time has passed. but people still remember the spice, everything. and slot only shampoo, who ordered and oversaw uncountable. torches rapes and killings of civilians has been released from jail early by ukrainian authorities of the serving holy 7 years

. he and his closest henchmen are once again together and have at their disposal. millions of dollars in nato weaponry, all the guns and pallor they need to chad a whole. the hate that they carry. there is no stir rosky 1000000. they came to me and sat. yeah. what's up? russian, it is. i told them, i guess, looking for russians than should every one years. and i told them i was born here. i grew up here. you, i will die here is, and you are looking for russians. i said, well, should me then for the volatile, that's what he did. they were doing something in the basement. they were walking around dressed like nazis as they were shooting at the cemetery. they had a shooting range. their people disappeared. we've dug up everything around here. no one knows where they have gone. the slot only shan't goes release. we'll only boost thrush his case that moscow is waging battle against those that braved few who hold

ukraine, hostage against nationalism and radicalism. the legs of which the world has forgotten against hatred, depravity, and then a phobia. given a human form for a gas d of r t from pre roll ya lugens people's republic rushes main gas, ex porter says it expects german engineering firm, siemens to fully meet its obligations when it comes to maintenance for the north stream. one pipeline that says gas problem has hinted that there is still no official documents from siemens to return a gas turbine after repair work in canada. earlier canada confirmed that it would insure the transfer of the required turbine to germany to provide europe with russian gas supplies through north stream. one. the move requested by berlin was met with outrage and cheer with ukraine. president fleming, it as absolutely inappropriate to mid fresh worries in the you this week after

russia halted the flow of gas through north stream one for 10 days, due to scheduled maintenance, leading some to allege that russia could be manipulating gas flows as a political tool. germany's economy minister, robert, hey back says you countries need to tighten their belts in solidarity to get through expected shortages of the commodity. the pipelines, maintenance to last until thursday was agreed upon by all the sides in advance. notice stream one flows directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea. it's crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas imports. ortiz, rachel marston has had, i said, the solidarity is more important than ever solidarity for what collective suicide it's easy. nations, their weapon ising, their own energy policy, putting their own gas supply in peril with anti russian sanctions for which we, the citizens are paying the price of the pump. here in france were on the cost of a massive heat wave right now with up to 40 degree temperatures forecasted over the

next couple of weeks. france even has a statutory holiday in june every year in memory of the nearly 20000 elderly who died in care homes from a similar heat wave in the summer of 2003. but french economy minister between our lemaire hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have a clue what they're doing. let's prepare for a total cutoff of russian gas today. that is the most likely option. we have to anticipate and to put ourselves in order of battle as of now, except that we're not ready for battle here in europe. let's face it. habits proclaimed that he cut down the shower time yet again. like that's any kind of a solution for supposedly developed nation while german cities are planning to introduce warm up space is this winter amid the need to ration energy? you know, those things that you see in depression era, hollywood movies, you know, the, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute, when it went gung ho sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of nord stream one is sparking hypo

ventilation by you. officials who fear that russia could use it as an excuse to reduce gas delivery to europe. org stand shut down beyond the 10 days. the italian oil and gas company, any reports that daily supplies been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria's energy company o m v also report a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger an energy that use top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets. and in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the, the you bit off more than it can chew. it's kind of like that teenager who runs away from home, gets halfway down his own street and starts panicking over his own foolish decision . journalist and political analyst luke are very, says it's becoming increasingly harder for you officials to justify their sanctions against russia, to their own voters and taxpayers. all the politicians in europe by trying to explain the, the very, very difficult things that we can go through in,

in the coming months and years. probably all, and we're getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, you're a point 5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the local motive of european economy of european industry. even if they could find out gas to replace rush and gas, this would have to be paid, not in, you know anymore, but in dollars. and we don't print dollars a year, so it's going to get worse and worse. you have a voice is coming to find this princess, but also for example, sequel in a while. yeah. and from what i said, for one, something crucial that the, the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and that she could not understand why we impose sanctions. that harm us much more than russia, so it's getting, you know,

very difficult for the politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare us really for rationing that probably come in the auto the use parliament has been demanding answers from spain over the deaths of at least 23 migrants who had been attempting to cross the border from morocco. spain's interior minister has been summoned to the european parliament civil liberties committee. after a local investigation concluded, the migrants died from suffocation, not police violence. the deadly incident took place last month when a huge crowd tried to rush into the spanish enclave of malia. all the depths we saw were caused by a 60 year they were the results of over crowding and pushing by a huge number of people attempting to cross the border at once. the probe also concluded that police officers didn't use any firearms or other lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing the opposite and estimated 2000 people strong to the frontier on june 24th

in an attempt to reach the spanish enclave on the african continent. some rights groups claimed that the death toll could be as high as 37. the un human rights office has adamantly asserted that the migrants were brutally attacked by the authorities. we have received reports of migrants being beaten with buttons kicked, pushed and attacked with stones by moroccan officials. when they tried to scale the barbed wire fence, which is between 6 and 10 meters high separating morocco from mila or t. heard from an international policy consultant from south sudan, who suspects the the authorities have committed to cover up. i think they kind of want to just keep them under the rug and maintain the status quo into i forgot about it. but now with the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere the whole world start seeing what's happening. and it brought a tend to do an issue that could have remained small and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate is

a good political strategy by them, because now they're looking at ways to investigate this and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect their reputation and look, look like their country that does can, is concerned about these people, but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo. and hopefully also testing passed by morocco, getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in their interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, that people entering the country legally, and they cannot backdrop and statements made before us. it make them appear weak. 3040 people were just murdered and gun down. i didn't show you that the lack of human life is valued in the area. and if the justification because that the actions that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable. but seem as if the countries who shouldn't be investigating are protecting their own people. while she was long, his president has officially resigned the mass unrest that has a grip to the south. asian country shows no sign of abating earlier protesters

angered at worsening economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. he was appointed as acting president on friday, but people are demanding that he step down as well. oh, we see water cannons and tear gas against the demonstrators, but were unable to prevent them from taking over the premier's office. dozens of people were reported injured in clashes between the protesters and the authorities parties. runjun sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week ago, but i hope for just do that very much in falls behind me, the president, secretariat. now there has been an official confirmation, but the president has left the country and he's currently in more of these things. lanka will need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am in the international and

wanted to be fun to get a good be now to beckett's then sheet. and i will also need a finance minister now important to underline, deal that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the same set of massive challenges that made this particular government out. the new government would also inherited massive humanitarian and no, i know what challenges a state of emergency to president of the country. now the administration is doing everything again, this boston crowd said, what do y'all gas jail have been? you remain adamant with my uncle on board. the president has reportedly fled to the maldives on

a military jet. meanwhile, the new acting president has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. it includes top officials from the military and the police. a local journalist surveyed the deposed leaders abandoned residence. let's take a look. i'm here in front of the president's house in columbus for lanka. as you can see behind me tense and thousands of people are still eagerly awaiting to walk into the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of a bill. and that was captured by the apprentices on the 9th of july. and this particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that carried out the huge mass valley. the protest that was unveiled on the 9th of july . but still we see the presence of the secret personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president barbara boxer who volved to step down from his position as the president. there was

a meeting among the members of the representative bodies that organized the early on the 9th of july and the particular party leaders at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so of the protest. the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, saying that they will have their own action plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is the machine was reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sri lanka. the severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of the national debt is owed to western powers. over the past half a century, the international monetary fund has given the nation 16 loans with sri lanka, going through a series of so called economic stabilization programs. despite the huge re payment issues. relaunch, as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum of the country would become wealthy within a decade. it's no secret to asia as the economic engine of the future. and in our

endeavors to make sri lanka, a rich country by 2025, we aimed to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. independent journalist benjamin norton says, i am have policies for sri lanka, have benefited foreign powers, not the people of the country. the u. s. government has complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south, in particular, the i m f and the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs that forced countries to cut social spending privatized their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m s, demand that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage,

basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest of foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talk between the sri lankan government in the m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i. m. s. conditionality is that have been imposed uncontrolled, like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to give into these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. she long because economy has collapsed under the massive weight of foreign debts, culminating in a default earlier this year. now several other countries face historic economic

challenges and the possibility that they won't be able to make payments on their sovereign bonds. ortiz, racial blevins comments. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, lead tree, longest president to flee the country. some are now warning that other developing nations could soon find themselves in the same position. in fact, the international monetary fund is warning that 19 developing nations are either high risk or currently experiencing debt distress. their warning that those countries which owe more than $230000000000.00 to foreign bondholders may be the next in line to default on their debt. the biggest concerns right now include all, salvador pakistan gonna argentina and ukraine. so it comes as no surprise that those countries are getting special attention from the i am that the organization which has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing

nations. and i'll talk show long go last month ended without a deal. the i m s, the managing director says it is looking forward to working with a new government in the near future. we have been reaching out to the biggest creditors to sri lanka to ascertain their commitment to engage so we can have that resolution. it would be better for the creditors to step forward, because then they have a better chance for the country to recover and for them to recoup more of their money. meanwhile, pakistan has been scrambling to make a deal with the i am that securing an agreement for an additional $1200000000.00 this week, but well, that may provide some temporary relief. the nation has more than $40000000000.00 in debt payments coming up in just the next 12 months. pakistan is at a challenging economic juncture, a difficult external environment combined with pro cyclical domestic policies, fuel domestic demand, her unsustainable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits in the fiscal year,

2022 contributed to rise in inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry . the i, a map is assuring the world it has everything to in care of even as it continues to offer. 2 loans with no strategy for the developing nations they are working with to ever get out of that debt. we have to rethink how to act more in the direction of supporting countries early preemptively building resilience to these shocks. and that goes beyond the traditional focus of financial sector fiscal policy. as for the question of whether the i m f would be willing to forgive all of that, when it becomes clear that countries are being crushed under the financial load. well, that has yet to happen. some i've tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the u. s. in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support. also this week,

hundreds of people in the democratic republic of congo took to the streets to denounce the resurgence of a notorious rebel group. am 23, which has been fighting against the military in the countries mineral rich east, near the border with rwanda forcing more than 170000 residents to flee their homes and protectors were seen waving banners with images of russian president vladimir putin pleading for security forces to be sent in. one demonstrator carried a wooden cross suggesting the death of one of the president. connelly's officials accuse a neighboring or a wanda of supporting the rebel group. or the 23 group is named after a significant seas fire deal clinched more than a decade ago on march 23rd. under the terms of the agreement, the unit was incorporated into the congo military. but that arrangement unraveled with the rebels accusing the government of not respecting the peace. congo has condemned m. 23. as a terrorist group, we heard from a member of a major political party in the country who says the international community. it's

to react, providing for conflict, deserves attention from the international community because it's about common security and economic issues. we are astonished where the western world is indifferent to our crisis. but if you check history very well, we have been their colonies. today we can see what they are doing to us completely executing their plan to destroy our territory. our people are still resisting this, but our leaders are being used as their puppets for their own interests. serbia, as president alexander virgin, has brushed aside western pressure and said that he intends to preserve a close ties with russia and china. that's as he's also accused western powers of turning ukraine into a global issue or something. that is what we should understand that a middle world war, all the talk about it being a regional or local conflict must be dropped. the entire western world is fighting against russia through the ukrainian so it's a global conflict. serbia has been under severe pressure from the west over its

opposition to the sanctions against russia. serbians have shown that they want to maintain close relations with russia, spite their country being a candidate for you membership. since the ukraine conflict erupted in february, serbia has been under increased pressure from you. leaders saying it's time to to side of our expectation is that these sanctions will also be supported by all those who see themselves as session candidates as well. i think now it's time to decide bright stance, and i hope, sir, be i will make a decision in the direction of europe. meanwhile, the serbian opposition party leader has criticize the sanctions policy, claiming that confrontation with russia is only hurting europe. post opens up a minute or what western countries are doing as hypocritical. we are considering the fact that from their point of view, the principle of self determination stands for everyone except for serbians and russians. republicans, serb scott,

is an example of this. they are denying the very existence of republic, a surface go wherever we see independence and democratic competences which were guaranteed to serbian entities. they are being denied. and the main goal of this is to disempower the serbian people. on the other hand, we have a very different situation and costs of on by going against resolution 1244, which guarantees the preservation of sovereignty and integrity of serbia. the west showed that they do not care about the valid documents of the un, and they do not refer to the principles of international law. the west sees international rights as the law of the strongest, but what is very different now compared to 1999 political centers in the west cannot claim any more that they are the stronger ones. i mean, i think that the western political leaders and the creators of their policies seem to fail to learn lessons from history. that in the past, many invaders attacked the russian federation. and that they all returned broken.

the consequences were always catastrophic for the entire european continent and was, i think that what is happening today in ukraine is a primarily to the detriment of the whole of europe player. and all its countries in the european countries themselves are hostages of the policy, which apparently does not understand that the confrontation with russia cannot and well for 32 minutes. that's when i will be back with a full and freshly news. stay with us. this is our to international ah ah, ah, ah ah, ah

ah, ah ah, during the 2nd world war in nazi occupied poland, virginia was a farming region. today is part of ukraine. between 943 and 945 members of the ukrainian insurgent army, led by stepan bandera, occurred thousands of poles in virginia. in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the murders were particularly horrific, and brutal villages were burned and property looted of aline. a massacre is without doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. why are ukrainian politicians are still reluctant to talk about these events? how to modern day you.
