rest and disbandment, that headquarters still stands in what remains at the school. that's been 7 years since tornado spray painted this insignia under the walls of this school. it was shut down soon afterwards, the kids couldn't come back than what they had. ton these 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 not is as off, they also the fall, the walls with their own insignia. you can argue which is worse, as of nationalists butchered thousands of civilians and mario bull, but tornado. it was so much more revolting, say, even ukrainian officials lim letters thong when the tornado commanders where

detained them of i'll fallen, 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 doris lamb. 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, here regular people and miners were brought here. they picked up people from bus stops, were going to their jobs. this according to the people who were taken here. they put people on their knees asking where to serve in the army. who are you waiting for here? go there. we're looking for separatists. they were telling people you hold 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. all of this happened here right here in this room. people came out with bruises beaten, and some were not found at all. but it is, yeah, my friend 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. what convicts? as they grew and recruited, that percentage only increased or got worse 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 with 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 to either shoot. 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 shanker was arrested, and tornado was disbanded in 2015, lot of time has passed, but people still remember the spot. everything that was slum only shingo who ordered and over saw 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 hole. the hate that they carry, they have no store rosky 1000000. they came to me and said, you know what's up russian. i told them already. guess looking for russians than should everyone here is that i told them i was born here. i grew up here. you. i will die here is, and you're looking for russians. i said, well, should me then football? sure. 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 brave 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 human form for a gas d of r t from pre roll ya, lugens people's republic. the russians mean it gas export 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, there's still no official documents from siemens to return a gas turbine after repair work in canada or earlier canada confirmed it would insure the transfer of the required turbine to germany to provide europe with russian gas supplies via nordstrom one, the move requested by berlin was met with outrage in chief with ukraine's president fleming. it as absolutely inappropriate. that's 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 back has says that

e u countries need to tighten their belts in solidarity to get through expected shortages of a commodity on the pipelines, maintenance to last until thursday was agreed upon by all of the sides in advance. north stream one flows directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea. it is crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas imports or cheese original marston comments had 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, we're 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. but we know lemaire hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have any 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 nordstrom one is sparking hypo ventilation by u officials who fear that russia could use it as an excuse to reduce gas delivery to europe. org. stand the shut down beyond the 10 days. the italian oil and gas

company, any reports that its daily supplies been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria energy company o m v also report a reduction by north stream. one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger an energy, the eas, top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets. and in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the u bit off more than they 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 local prevail 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, i trying to explain the divine fetish difficult things of that week on the go through when in the coming months and years probably all in it we getting into

recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in on average, you're a point 5 or 8.9 percent. oh, inflation. and i'll do the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible. because this is the locomotive of you to panic coming of european street, even if they could find out guests to replace trash and gas. this would have to be bait 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 by this princess, but also for example, sequel n y. yeah. and from what i sent for one, something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions that harmless, much molden russia. so it's getting, you know, very difficult for politicians to explain this and they are trying to prepare a sway me for rationing that probably come in the auto the ears of parliament

has been demanding answers from spain over the death of at least 23 migrants who had been attempting to cross the border from morocco, spain's interior minister hasn't 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 count tried to rush into the spanish enclave of maria, just a warning. you may find some of the following images to start teaching ha fuel all the debts we saw were caused by a fix yet. they were the results of over crowding and pushing by huge number of people attempting to cross the border at once. we prob, also concluded that police officers did not use any firearms or other lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing the opposite, an estimated 2000 people stormed the front tier on june 24th in an attempt to reach

the spanish enclave on the african continent. some right groups claimed that the death toll could be as high as 37. now 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, but tom's 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 the lyla or t heard from an international policy consultant from south sudan, who suspects that the authorities have committed a cover up i think they kind of wanted to keep them under the rug and maintain the status quo and totally forgot about it. but now with the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere. the whole world thing was happening and 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 i hope

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 all that this thing 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. most 3040 people were just murdered and gun down. as in the show that the lack of human life is valued in the area. and it's a justification because that the actions that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable, but seem as if the country's who shouldn't be investigating or protecting their own people. while sri lanka, as president has officially resigned the mass unrest that has gripped 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 i've been president on friday, but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. o, please use the 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 . ortiz runjun sharma has been following the unrest rallies through the go, but i hope for dest still do that very much in force. behind me, the secretary did. now there's been an official confirmation, but the president has left the country and he's currently in more detail. but more things. see lanka, we'll need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am in the international monetary fund to get

a good be allowed to beckett's then she'd uncle will also need a good finance minister. now important to underline deal or that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the state of massive challenges that made this particular government out. the new government was also in hated, massive humanitarian. and no, i know challenges. we had a state of emergency, a job in the country. now the administration is doing it every thing again, this bossa called several gas jails have been used on the forecast, still remain adamant with i'm going to show our mom in columbus. the president has reportedly fled to the

mall, deems on the 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 specials from the military and the police. a local journalist surveyed the deposed leaders abandoned residents. let's take a look. i'm here in front of the president's house in columbus through 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 received the presence of the secret personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residence of the president bought our bid our departure, who while to step down from his position as the president,

there was a meeting among the members of the, your 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 the protest, the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, said that they will have their own action plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is solution 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 of 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 repayment issues. for long as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum, 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 aim 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 f policies for sri lanka have benefited foreign powers, not the people of the country, the u. s. government as 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 in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands 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 to foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government and the i 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 f. conditionality is that have been opposed on countries 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 interest 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 given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. sure, long as the 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 are racial blevins comments. days after massive protest 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, maybe 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 math, the organization, which has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. and i'll talk with you long ago 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, and understandable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits in the fiscal year, 2022 contributed to rising inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not sure where

the i, a map is assuring the world that has everything taken 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 have 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. while those who 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 eastern near the border with rwanda. forcing more than 170000 residents to flee their homes . and protesters 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. does president connelly's officials accuse neighboring rwanda of supporting the rebel good? the 23 group is named after a significant cease fire deal clinched more than a decade ago on march 23rd. under the terms of the agreement, the unit was incorporated into the congo is military, but that arrangement unraveled with the rebels accusing the government not respecting the peace congo has condemned m. 23. as a terrorist group, we heard from a member of major political party in the country who says that the international community needs to react. the rod enough for construct deserves attention from the

international community because it's not common security and economic issues. we are astonished by 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. india, a leading gold importer is concerned about rising prices up for the coveted commodity that says western powers have moved to band supplies from major producer russia, sparking fears that global cost could climb even further. india is the world's 2nd largest gold consumer behind china with the commodity used in a multitude of local traditions. prices for gold have risen more than 60 percent in recent years. the european commission on friday outlined its new sanctions package to ban russian gold. just

a few weeks after the decision to that effect by the western g 7 countries that's expected to push up prices for the commodity on a global scale, even affecting countries that do not directly abide by the restrictions. deli based economists, akash agenda, all hopes that russia will be able to increase supplies directly to india to keep the prices at a reasonable level. bold is an international commodity, so the impact would be initially international. then of course, every country would be impacted. we indians are big consumers. so in the old all to get infected, what would happen is, with the sanctions, since she has a big exporter, there would be a reduction in export. so on one hand, there would be some deficiency of food. on the other hand, is expected to we people would be more than dusted in buying gold and other than going in for a risk. yes. it's like you can be sanctions,

not only impact the country which is supplier. but the consumers also, if debt buying something from a company, they are not, we're, we fewer to guarantee the also want that their sway their bring that place. so if they're not able to get done, that means it's going to be negative for them also. that those are for me, this hour i'll be back in just under 32 minutes with another film for selection is stay with us or to national ah ah ah

ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time, time to sit down and talk. ah, russia is the aggression no, ifs, ands or buts. about we have any quality for russians, we have actual racism,

bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian and murell 2 hour pools reports with cell growth is a nation suddenly dislike? well, was the hotel it he always there and only now come to the for the last full we're showing the most form for so for the doors is router will be a new one. hasn't been seen before in the us by the federal club must be with the love lisa for looking for some unit be studies before door. a new unit i knew you started. ok. you know people not daniels die. rolls. things up, dorcas go. we will. yup. would you say a week but it is i here because that's a big team is usually when you go you.
