but the pilot had requested an emergency landing in greece after apparently experiencing an engine failure. all 8 crew members were killed in the crash, which greek authorities are now investigating. meanwhile, a notorious convict has been released by the ukrainian government as part of an amnesty program for criminals. with combat experience, this land on notion, car led the infamous neo nazi tornado battalion and the guns people's republics between 20142015. and he was serving time and ukraine for torture, rape, and a number of other crimes. some boss locals now fear that he could return to the area or senior correspondent, more gas. he went to see what's left of the extremist units. former base near the heavily embattled city of least a chance in ukraine and russia. tornado is 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 of the school has 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 done 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 bo, 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 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 8. 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, the 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. that put people on their knees asking where to serve in the army. who are you waiting for here? 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. they 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. yeah. yeah. my friend son disappeared and still hasn't been found. people 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, the volunteers who formed tornado. what convicts? as they grew and recruited, that percentage only increased what, especially if 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, was one of them would come up and point the muzzle at my neck like this, and pull the trigger. it all up as well to either show. this was once, only jenkins caught us turn into a dump, a trash fall by the 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 spot, everything at a 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 power they need to chad a whole. the hate that they carry. they have no straw rosky 1000000. they came to me and sat, what's up russian. i told them i guess looking for russians than should every one years. i told them i was born here. i grew up here. you, i will die here and you are looking for russians. i said, well should me then a football. so this lady, 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 therapy, as bucket people disappeared. we've dug up everything around here. no one knows where they have gone. the slot only shake who's release. we'll only boost thrushes case that moscow is waging battle against those depraved few who hold ukraine, hostage against nationalism and radicalism. the likes of which the world has forgotten against hatred, depravity,

and xenophobia. given human form for i'd gazda of r t from pre voya lu, god's people's republic as prompts as it expects the german engineering firm, siemens to fully meet its obligations when it comes to the maintenance of the north 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 nord stream, one. berlin requested the move, which was met with outrage and key f with ukraine's president slamming it as absolutely inappropriate. that's made fresh worries in the e. u. 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 moscow could be manipulating death flows as a political tool. germany's economy minister says

e u countries need to tighten their belts in solidarity to get through expected shortages. the pipelines maintenance is set to last until thursday and was actually agreed upon in advance by all of the sides. north stream one flows directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea, and it's crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas imports . archie contributor rachel marston has more of the story, had. i said that 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 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, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute went away, gung ho, sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of north street 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 daily supplies 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 you sanction roger an energy that use top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets in, in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the 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, lucrative a says it's becoming increasingly difficult for e, with officials to justify anti russian sanctions to their own voters. and taxpayers, all the politicians in europe by trying to explain the to the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and years. probably all in it we getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average,

in your 8.5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and of the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the local motive. all european economy 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. and so it's kind of getting worse and worse. you have a voice is coming to find his princess, but also for example, sequel in wyoming from what has said for one, something crucial that the, 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 very difficult for politicians to explain this and that they are trying to prepare sway me for rationing, doesn't mean probably come in the auto the use parliament wants 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 has been summoned to the european parliament civil liberties committee after a state back to investigation. and morocco concluded that migrants died from suffocation and not police violence. the incident took place last month when a huge crowd tried to storm the spanish enclave city of melia. in north africa. just a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. i fall, the debts we saw were caused by his fix, yet they were the results of over crowding and pushing by 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 exactly the opposite, and as an estimated 2000 people stormed the frontier on june 24th and attempt to reach the autonomous spanish city. some rights group say that the death toll could

be as high as 37 people. the united nations human rights office has adamantly asserted that the migrants were in fact, brutally attacked by moroccan security forces. we haven't received reports of migrants, been beaten with battens, caked, pushed and attacked. the stones by monroe can officials when they tried to scale the ball to wire fence, which is between 6 and 10 meters high separating morocco from many yeah. already heard from an international policy consultant from self sudan, who suspects the moroccan authorities, have committed a cover up i think they kind of want to just keep it under the rug and maintain the status call and told 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 is a good political strategy by them, because now they're looking at weights investigators and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect

their reputation and act 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 statistic passed by morocco getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in the interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, that people entering the country legally, and they cannot backdrop and statement before us. it make them appeal week, almost 3040 people were just murdered and done down at the shows 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, people need to be held accountable. but seem as if the countries who shouldn't be investigating of protecting their own people. while it's long as president has officially resigned the mass unrest that his 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 interim president on friday,

but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. oh, the police used 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 the questions ortiz, runjun sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week. a goal, but i will protest still do that very much. again, paul is behind a secretary did. now there's been an official gone for me from and the president has left the country and he's probably even more of these things because the longer we'll need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the international monetary fund to

get a good be allowed to beckett's, then feed uncle will also need a good sign in. now important to underline, deal that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the massive challenges that made this particular government. the government will also indicated massive humanitarian. no, i know what about challenges to see if you had a state of emergency, a job in the country. now the administration is doing it every thing again, this boston crowd said, what do y'all, gas shell, have a new with mean? adamant with . 0 in columbus, so long as former leader has reportedly fled to them all died on a military jet. meanwhile, the new interim president has announced the creation of

a special committee to restore law and order in the country. the group includes top officials from the military in the police, the police, and earlier, a local journalists took a closer look at the former leaders, abandoned residence. 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 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 rally the produce that was unveiled on the 9th of july. but still we see the presence of the security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president bought our bid, our deflector, who want 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 bodily does at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so be protest. the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, saying that david have their own action plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is a huge on loss, reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sri lanka. 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, the countries prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum, that's re lanka, would become wealthy within 7 years. 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. instead of the countries people 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 s, 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. now, as we mentioned earlier, sir, long 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 and the possibility of failing to pay back their own sovereign bonds. ortiz, rachel blevins reports days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, led tree, longest president to flee the country. some are now warning that other developing nations could soon find themselves. 2 in the same position and back to 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 oh 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. 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 with 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 while 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, 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 have tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and its partners in the u. s. in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support was your top world news stories from the past week. thanks for watching our to international,
