a school that's been 7 years since tornado 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 turned this place into 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 worse. 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 orgies and rape. there were rapes of under age

pretty busy. my friend son disappeared and still hasn't been found. oh, from a village alone, 5 or 6 people disappeared. i don't know why they did this. maybe because they are been darrow 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, but convicts as they grew and recruited, that percentage only increased. we'll go what us business. there were a lot of them with prison tattoos we are 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, was one of them would come up and point to muzzle at my neck like this,

firm siemens to fully meet its obligations when it comes to maintenance of the nord stream. one pipeline that's as russia's main gas exporter has hinted. there's still no official documents from siemens to return a gas turbine after repair work in canada. earlier canada confirmed it would ensure the transfer of the hardware to germany to provide europe with russian gas supplies via nordstrom one. berlin requested the move, which was met with outrage and key it while ukraine's president slamming it as absolutely inappropriate. that's a fresh worries in the you. this week after russia halted the flow of gas through nordstrom one for 10 days, due to scheduled maintenance. it's lead some to alleged that russia could be manipulating gas flows as a political tool. germany's economy miss minister says e u countries need to tighten their belts and solidarity to get through. expected shortages pipelines. maintenance is set to last until thursday and was agreed upon

in advance by all sides. north 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. our t contributor rachel marston has the story 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 roland there 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 his 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 in, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute, when a wet gung ho sanctioning its own gas supply for 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 or extend the shut down beyond the 10 days. the italian oil and gas company, any reports that its daily supply has been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria energy company o m v also reported a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when did you sanction roger?

an energy that used top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets in in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the u bit off more than it could 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 on political analyst luke prevail says it's becoming increasingly difficult for e y officials to justify these anti russian sanctions to their own voters and taxpayers. all the politicians in europe, i trying to explain the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and them years probably all in it, 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 i'll do the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the locomotive of you to panic coming of

european industry, even if they could find out gas to replace crash 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 gonna get worse and worse, you have a voice is coming to buy this princess. but also for example, sequel. and while in france, who has said for one, something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions, not harmless, much more than russia. so it's getting, you know, very difficult for the politicians to explain this and that they are trying to prepare a sway before rationing. doesn't mean probably come in the auto liam. the use parliament has been demanding answers from spain over the deaths, or 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 storm the spanish enclave city of mila. in north africa, just a warning. you may find some of the following images disturbing. a ha, you will all the debts we saw were caused by his fix, yet they were the results of over crowding and pushing by a huge number of people attempting to cross the border. at once. according to the moroccan investigation, police officers did not use any lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing the opposite, an estimated 2000 people stormed the frontier on june 24th. and in the attempt to reach the autonomous spanish city. some rights groups say the death toll could be as high as 37 people may, 9 nations human rights office has adamantly asserted that the migrants were in fact, brutally attacked by moroccan and spanish authorities. we have received reports of

migrants, been beaten with battens kicked, pushed and attacked the stones by moroccan officials when they tried to scale the barbed wire fence, which is between 6 and 10 meters high. separates in morocco from millions or 2 heard from an international politic policy consultant from south sudan, who suspects the authorities, have committed cover up i think they kind of want to just keep it under the rug and maintain the status call and tell me forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere, the whole world thing was happening. and it brought attended to 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. it's 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 does. can is concerned about these people, but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo and hopefully of 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 enter in the country legally, and they cannot backtrack and statements before us. it make them appear weak. most 3040 people were just murdered and gone down. and to show you that the lack of human life is valued in the area and justification because that the action that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable would seem as if the country's who shouldn't be investigating or protecting their own people. all through long as president has officially resign the mass unrest that is script the south. asian country shows no sign of abating earlier protesters angered and worsening, economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. he was appointed as interim president on friday, but people are demanding that he step down as well. oh,

we've used water cannons and tear gas against the demonstrators, but they were unable to prevent them from taking over the premier's office. dozens of people were reported injured and the clashes and ortiz runjun sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week ago. but i hope or doesn't do that very much. again, paul is behind me. the secretary did. now there has been an official gone for me from the president has left the country and he's probably even more of these things because she longer will 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 would also need a good sign. and it's now important to underline deal that much. the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the massive challenges

that made this particular government out. the new government was also indicated massive humanitarian and no, i know what about challenges. so you can add a state of emergency to president both of my job shop in the country. now the administration is doing it every thing again this boston crowd said, well joe gas jail have been used on the still remain adamant with her mom in columbus. she long as former leader has reportedly fled to the maldives on a military jet. meanwhile, the new interim leader 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. earlier, a local journalists surveyed the residence, the resigned leaders, abandoned residence. i'm here in front of the president's housing columbus through

lanka. as you can see behind me, pins 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 security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president boat arbiter de boxer who want to step down from these positions 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 the protest, the organizers have refused to take part in that particular meeting,

saying that david have their own national plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is the bush on loss reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sher lanka. a 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 repayment issues relaunched as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum that the country would become wealthy within the 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 in 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 and not the people of that 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 vito 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 imposed 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 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 given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. as we mentioned, relock as economy collapsed under the massive weight of foreign debts, culminating in a default earlier this year. now several other countries face historic economic challenges as well, and the possibility of failing to pay back on their own sovereign bonds ortiz, rachel blevins reports. 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. 2 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 of no surprise. so 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 so she long 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 rising 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. that was the weekly on rti international stick around because we'll be back in just about another 30 minutes. 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 difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah, the 1st time in history,

an entire country's culture has been cancelled the very modern weapon and sole culture. really desert. wonderful. i was just a little william here, just me sitting there with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture. yet them know what equally up a few orders go because you can when you my foot. sure. have over your children that go with most of the temperature random eat them, we what rushes created over the past 1500 years. there's no question partially condemned, reviled and rejected to sort of like a bill of bramble. there's a lot closer on a whole bunch. thank you said a little short list. joining total condemnation, gross daily and now includes dostoevsky to cascade,

shostakovich. get that i need to hear your thoughts. cool, cool, cool. but yes, you can see that what the time will you do? obama lee, you're left with oh, bmw ah,

with shemika. that's how with this new technology, he started to study of columbia. you've used to live your mom will follow you use a . 2 2 2 2 with .
