4:01 pm
ah, hi there you're watching are international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. and now on to our top story, 53 ukrainian prisoners of war had been killed and 75 wounded in the shelling of a pre trial detention facility and the danielle people's republic. moscow was accused key of troops of intentionally targeting that site and a warning. the following images are graphic you may find them disturbing. russia says the ukrainian military used american supplied hi marcy rocket launchers to bombard for danielle facility. 8 of its employees were also wounded in the attack and our corresponded roman culture of reports from that scene. these are just some of the bodies alpha ukrainian soldiers, which were killed by their own ukrainian army overnight. now these guys,
4:02 pm
they've been killed by shrapnel in while these guys right here. their bodies have been burned as a result of a strike. beyond recognition, criminal experts from russia and from the dentist peoples republic are now working on documenting every single body of every ukrainian soldier. even on $911.00 ukrainian authorities insisted on using this place of detention. it was discussed previously, so they knew perfectly well where the prisoners were being held and that's how they took the lives of their own soldiers, city, ukrainian army used high caliber, high mars artillery systems when they struck this barrick just after 2 o'clock at night. now, there were at least $600.00 prisoners in this barrack alone. now, according to russian and defense ministry, this was a provocation on the part of the ukrainian army. was hercules organized when a force, a large number of ukrainian soldiers are laying down their weapons, as they know about the humane treatment of military prisoners by russia. this
4:03 pm
outrageous provocation was aimed at intimidating ukrainian soldiers and preventing them from surrendering was the walgreens to you in the blue, the ukrainian prisoners of war began to talk about the crimes they had committed on the orders of the ukrainian authorities. and after that, they were attacked here. kia took these actions to gag those soldiers who began to talk about what was actually happening here in don bas, over the last couple of weeks. a members awfully nationalist as of battalion ha started giving witness accounts about that war crimes committed by them and their superiors. apparently those war crimes that were commissioned by the highest authority in key if, as the result, they were punished by high mars her to the reward systems. and these are just some of the fragments of that high caliber sho. earlier i interviewed canadian journalist eva bartlett,
4:04 pm
who was also at the scene of the attack on friday. this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. and it's notable by the way, i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured after going to this prison. and although we weren't able to go inside to see the prisoners, they were in critical condition. a doctor did come out and give a statement and he said that the prisoners are in critical condition and they are undergoing surgeries, they're being given the medicine and the care that they need. and now i just want to point out the irony that russia is giving these cranium presents for medical treatment. no matter, you know, in spite of the fact that these are and be combatants and it is ukraine that is caused that it's inflicted, they're of potentially mortal injuries on them. here's a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine width western weaponry. and it is russia that is mopping up the mass. how do you think this incident is going to affect the morale among ukrainian troops currently in combat?
4:05 pm
well, i mean, we seen many videos being shared on social media and telegram, etc. of ukrainian troops saying like we don't have support from, you know, our commanders were being or in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. were being deserted, were being sent out front lines who are not equipped to fight our being sent to our death. so i would say their morale was probably already quite low. but i mean, this is just the next blow. i mean, they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, there, targeted by their own government. i mean it's, it's, it's, i can't imagine they could have any morale at this point. we've seen similar things in syria. we, we had in syria a terrorist, whether they were al qaeda, free syrian army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering,
4:06 pm
but from crossing from terrorist held areas in q, syrian government areas are intimidating down by threats that the government would rape or execute them. so we, and we've seen the same kind of strategies that have played out in syria, are being played out in ukraine all amid the latest reports of key of using us supplied weapons for striking non military targets. rushes envoy to the un says such cases make western countries complicit in war crimes. i show, but i did pneumonia up and delivery. and i thought i would like to draw the attention of western delegation as to the fact that the long range artillery provided by you is allowing the ukrainian on forces to reach areas behind the lines and on bass. and without any military logic and exclusively for the purposes of vengeance and tara kill civilians. while we hard the representative of ukraine, try to shift the blame for this attack on the attention facility to russia, that he spent his time simply attacking russia and making accusation against russia
4:07 pm
. when you'd rest of the security council. this is the ukrainian representative. there is nothing that would deter russia from killing and destroying there is no you in charge of russia for a no geneva conventions for russia. now, the representative of russia pointed to the weapons that were used in the recent deadly attack. and pointed out that these weapons that the united states is applying to the government of ukraine, ended up in the hands, often of terrorists and extremist groups. and that there is a real threat to global security, the continued inflow weapons from the waggling into the hands of ukrainian government and military. it's also important to note that united states and china both addressed the security council presenting very different views of the conflict . for those countries which say that one country security should not come at the expense of another's. what exactly do you call russia's armed invasion?
4:08 pm
norman invasion of his neighbor, disdaining attempts at a peaceful resolution by silencing its guns withdrawing his forces and in, in bracing diplomacy. for countries which call for all parties to embrace diplomacy without naming russia, let us be clear. russia's ongoing actions are the sole obstacle to a resolution to this crisis. at a time when the international community is in dire need of unity and co operation to overcome 2 difficulties together, it's extremely irresponsible and dangerous to quinn to their cold war mentality. unblocked politics promote decoupling on small yard unheard of funds to politicize instrumentalists, on weaponized, comic and trade exchanges to colors other countries to take size and to deliberately create division, that confrontation clear differences express between major countries. at
4:09 pm
a meeting of the un security council, the 15 member body that leads the united nations, germans are starting to literally see and feel the energy crisis with street lights being switched off, plus a toilet paper shortage. as europeans hunker down for a cold winter, due to reduced energy imports from russia over the e was on sanctions, or t contributor rachel marston has more citizens of countries in the european union and are already getting a taste of what life could look like under energy restrictions even though the real crunch isn't expected until the colder weather arrives later this year. but all ready, power rationing is popping up in some pretty surprising places as the eas sanctions against russian gas start to bite back well against europeans. and russian energy giant gas from also reduces flow through its north stream one pipeline by 80 percent of usual capacity. citing maintenance issues, fear has said in among german officials, given the countries heavy reliance on russian gas in the city of hanover,
4:10 pm
for example, users of public pools and gems risk finding the water ice year than usual. and we'll have to take cold showers after their work out. as city officials start imposing heating restrictions on pools and showers in public facilities. frankly, it sounds like a great vacation destination for our competitive swimmers, like me who always find public pools absurdly overheated. so c, as soon hanner by it would be amusing to see france try that. as it takes nearly, he waive for many french to even remove their scarves. so your mileage may vary on these restrictions and don't even think of diving into a public fountain instead of a cool german pool. the city said that it's turning those off to save energy. the goal is to reduce our energy consumption by 15 percent. this is a reaction to the impending gas shortage, which represents a major challenge for the municipalities, especially for
4:11 pm
a big city like hanover berlin is also soft lighting. it's my units by the way. so 50 percent is the gas reduction target set by the u commission. but never states including france, spain, ireland, greece, malta, cypress portugal and others want exemptions in the event that push ever comes to shove and it becomes binding. and over in bavaria, paper manufacturing officials or warning about the french potentially leading to toilet paper shortages. yeah, you heard that right? real ones this time apparently. so for our germans who irrationally ran out n t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. right. as cov id sat in, maybe your little tester on, there won't be wasted after all. many employees in my company are already very worried. i can't blame them because if we can only produce 50 or 60 percent, the operation is not worthwhile for us. to be honest, i worry too. meanwhile, lapierre seems to be falling discreetly in the footsteps of hungry,
4:12 pm
whose foreign affairs minister has already into new deals with russia for more guests in defiance. if you sanctions lobby is mean gas distribution operator is now admitting that it's also buying gas from russia just not from gas, from latvia is purchasing gas now? yes, but not from gas prom because there is no way for us to pay gas prom. we have a different supplier, it's kind of like france maintaining liquefied natural gas imports from russia in massive quantities. since the onset of the ukraine conflict, there's a public noise that some you countries are making about the need for unity and solidarity against russia. but while some countries are putting the sanctions into squeeze on their own people, others are already quietly going their own way. international oil economist, mambo solomon told us that the energy crisis has only just begun for europeans and around germany is doing is gone by land gametes,
4:13 pm
which will not benefit. and the head, new crisis in which germany finds itself in town again with that is m a g, a future is fitted with basha is dying with russia. so with them or they do, they have in the find that there is some sort of like a relation. i read lines i was interview becomes i've been and that will lead the european union a is to collapse. they are letting their head drove them thinking and judgment this season. they are finishing. problem i have gotten them is just something they will have to be
4:14 pm
a huge if not less energy bills, they will have sure to use. and if they have a harsh when they release germany's economy minister has found himself on the receiving end of public discontent as he's been booed while making a speech at a local event. oh, listen. the minister was accused of a failed foreign and economic policy, and he even had to cut his speech short and leave the event in a hurry. protesters reportedly outnumbered those who were there to actually listen to his speech. and this comes just days after 7 german mayers wrote a letter to the german finance minister, demanding at the north stream. 2 gas pipeline be opened to avoid eminence, social and economic turmoil in the country.
4:15 pm
the path taken by the federal government to disconnect from russian energy sources is not the right path. stopping gas imports from russia would mean an explosion in the cost of living, which would lead to social instability and unrest that could spiral out of control . it comes as public anger over the backlash of western sanctions, mounts on both sides of the atlantic ocean. some american taxpayers aren't impressed with jo biden's efforts against russia either as they're the ones having to foot the bill. earlier this week, russia's gas prom said it would cut the flow of gas to the north stream, one pipeline, to germany. by half response, the white house dispatched its presidential coordinator for global energy to europe, who shared washington's willingness to cover for a lack of fuel. in world markets, private sector, as we talk to them, the united states said they can increase production in the united states by about a 1000000 barrels a day. it's going to take time to investment. it will come at the end of the year. so we stepped in, prison stepped in and said, i'll fill that gap, right?
4:16 pm
so hopefully my expectation is that the private sector in the us will have those increases coming. so we don't need to have the emergency from the u. s. government with the energy crisis, crippling european economies, the mothballs nord stream to pipeline has been called a key solution. however, russia's foreign minister says you leaders are too focused on trying to hurt russia, instead of tending to their own taxpayers. sergei lab rav insisted that moscow remains open to negotiations, and he made the statement stirring his tore of several african countries. certainly, but the look of the report nor stream to which is fully ready to meet the needs of europe in this type of fuel is closed for purely political reasons. although all investments that are made in this mega project were made in full compliance with eulogy escalation. however, as soon as old this was already ready for operation. the european commission
4:17 pm
retroactively adds up to standards. that's still being used to slow down this gas pipeline, which is crucial for europe's energy security. former german lawmaker martin dozer told us that foreign policy is conducted by berlin. don't cater to the interests of the country's population. the policy which sir mister herbert brings forward, has nothing to do with the interest of the normal population. it has to do something with the interest of the journal capital, and especially for the green party and deliberately bring forward the interest of the u. s. government who are bringing forward and imperialist oddities and to want to see if they can, when we shouldn't be as european. so as a german population, we shouldn't be dependent on the a on the us. so we should have the possibility as well to get the car through nor stream to. so i don't know whether that happens
4:18 pm
. if i look at the policies of the government of germany, especially of the, of the green party and the liberals. they don't want things like that to happen, but i hope that there will be actors who, why strong in the arena, political and economical discussion will bring forward the interest of the german population. the german and population has interest in good relations to all countries. in europe, at least the majority of the german population. and that should be brought forward by the politicians. so i think it's a natural reaction. in spite of all the propaganda which is done to bring forward sanctions and sol comes amid the failure of the canadian side to supply a long awaited turbine for the nord stream, one pipeline. in accordance with an initial contract, that's according to gas problems. deputy chairman,
4:19 pm
the turbine is needed to fully renew gas supplies to europe via the pipeline gas from earlier sent 10 letters to siemens, which handles the repairs of the turbines. about technical breakdowns on north stream one as prompts as siemens should have delivered the fixed turbine straight to russia in accordance with agreements and not to germany. in other news, french president emanuel micron is being bombarded with criticism over his warm reception of the saudi arabian crown prince. in paris, critics are pointing out double standards as france sanctions, russia, but embraces, embrace as saudi arabia, as an ally, despite allegations of riots, complicity and war crimes. access to oil and arm sales to saudi arabia, which makes the executive branch of power complicit in war crimes. in yemen, of course, explains mister microns complacence towards m. b. s. in contrast to his position on
4:20 pm
ukraine. even if been salmon from saudi arabia has dirty or stained hands. he is nevertheless welcomed in france. as long as we can do business with this despot, we don't care about the rest. who to choose between been salman and vladimir putin . russia, they are villains, saudi arabia, they aren't malicious villains. what does that mean? that's a state secret. comes amid the crown prince's 1st trip to europe since the 2018 scandal over the killing of journalists jamal shoji. the saudi concert is a prominent human rights organization, has urged the french government to investigate the prince on his alleged role in the killing. and mohammed bin salma was warmly welcomed in paris after a similar reception in greece. meanwhile, some critics have also pointed to frances own, a legit atrocities committed during the countries military intervention in molly mass graves have reportedly been uncovered recently in that country with some of the bodies showing signs of torture. killings allegedly took place near the side of
4:21 pm
a french army base, which was withdrawn a few months ago. and last year the when published a report on a deadly attack by a french military plane. and molly killing at least 19 people at a wedding for its part, paris has denied its forces targeted civilians in the african country. a political analyst, nicholas markovich, says francis craving for cheap energy is promoting a policy of double standard. i'm quite happy that a lot of there's been a lot of criticism in france on these double standards, usually mainstream media don't go too much into that narrative. they would play down, would say opponents to macro and such a situation. and we've heard a lot of concerns. normally saudi arabia is the total opposite of what, what the standards are supposed to be. but all of a sudden, all the standards concerning what the, what the supposed to be disappear and people are honoring. well, why are we supposed to be imposing sanctions on russia? because they're not in what's your standards? are we imposing sanctions on other countries in the world because they're not
4:22 pm
respecting what's in sanction. saudi regular typically doesn't really respect practically any of them. why are we reading them? this means that the what doesn't have any value. it doesn't care about the standards. all it is interested in the fact that saudi arabia is when the world's biggest petrol ex order. and if there's a deal that can be broken in the following days, weeks following this, that this reading on energy or on, on, on a weapon within the medical medical is happy and you could care less. which political opponent is tortured, killed. if you can build a church, if you are attacked or criticized or killed because every political opinion you couldn't care to russia top diplomat has reiterated that western sanctions are to blame for blocking exports of grain from ukraine. sergei lever off, says hill, or said rather he'll take up the issue with his american counterpart during an upcoming phone call. the foreign minister spoke at a summit. the shanghai cooperation organization in touch kind. been limited cuz it
4:23 pm
was american sanctions in the 1st place that prevented the full implementation of the contracts that were signed because of the restrictions on russian vessels they imposed which prohibited the vessels from entering a number of ports, as well as restrictions on foreign vessels, which prohibited entering russian ports to pick up export cargo. and of course, financial chains have also been cut off by illegitimate u. s. and e u sanctions. more meetings and travels in time of isolation survey lateral came here. it is back in san to take morgan to counsel for ministers of the member, say, my corporation organization. today the organization is united, 18 countries in different stages is either members, observers on dollar partners with a combined population of 3000000000 people, and many more are considering to join as minister lago said the country, a lining up to become memories law has been said today about the mission of the organization name, the current divide,
4:24 pm
and often our world. this ceo is one of the organizations that opposes attempts to impose a unipolar world. but there are no situations in the seo that we're currently seeing in the european union when the hands of sovereign countries are literally being broken, demanding that they either stop buying russian gas or reduce gas consumption in violation of their national plans and their national interests. said a law ra came here to make a saw for his extensive african to or that angered a lot in the west. not had a chance to ask the minister about this pressure, that all those countries dealing with russia and cooperating with moscow often face mr. lever off, you came here after africa, hunted, the representatives of african countries react to your warning that the u. s. and the, you can freeze the foreign reserves of any country with policies they don't like. and how can russia help those countries if something like that does happen to them? genius of course,
4:25 pm
african countries as well as our colleagues and the s c o r. well aware that any member of the world community, if they act in the same way that the americans do not like or caused them rejection, may fall under their sanctions. everyone has this idea already quite firmly postponed the main mission. i'll fridays and maintain easy to set the agenda and finalize documents for the sama to all the leaders, all fish on high corporation, organization member states. it is expected to be held also here in his back east. on mid september. griffin, ocean, r. r t from dash kent and as well and colombia rebuilding tight after years of mutual isolation. the reconciliation comes after a meeting of the 2 countries foreign ministers in a few months to warden, venezuela, and columbia reform. they willingness to make joint efforts to ensure security and pace on the border of our 2 countries. a marker though, we have agreed to establish ties immediately. once that moment arrives, of course good to reinstate the ambassadors who are going to represent our
