right, russia had to be sacrificed a doctor to be like a dish, divest maker or from the law firm ricardo scuttle and mitchell knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun with moscow blames caps. troop for the shelling of a detention facility in the don. yes, people's republic in which 53 ukranian prisoners of war died. we are in the front line and on it's airport, along with the commander legendary source of italian. and our team crew join saw yes. fighters targeting ukrainian troops who have long been showing civilians in the republic. here we go again. the u. s. government has filed charges against a russian national, accusing him of interfering and american elections and spreading pro russian narratives. plus energy rationing measures kick in across germany as the use top

economy seeks to lead by example with european gearing up for a cold winter due to the repercussions of their own sanctions against russia. ah, a very good morning. it's 70. i'm here in moscow. happy to have you join us for more ever. you may be watching us. i'm fiorella is about with the top news stories . this, our 53 ukrainian prisoners of war have been killed and 75 are wounded in the shelling of a pre trial detention facility in the don. yes, people's republic. a warning the following image just are graphic and could be disturbing. moscow's excuse to have troops of intentionally targeting the site using american supplied hi mark rocket launcher, safety of the tax was aimed at intimidating. any ukranian troop who wants to lay down their arms here. meanwhile,

claims of russian forces targeted the prison. so moscow could then accuse ukraine of war crimes and hide quote, the torture of prisoners of war. those wounded in the attack were taken to a don. yes, city hospital where some have already undergone surgery. one fighter from your grades notorious as of battalion who was undergoing treatment there right now. shared details of the attack with us with approximately midnight a shell hid the place where we were. it all happened very fast. the 1st strike was literally next to us. and the 2nd was right, were relieved. the blessed was so strong and powerful. everything caught fire. we started to get out. i started to get out. i felt a severe pain in my stomach and fell to the ground waiting for whatever would happen next. everyone, if it was possible for them, started to leave with those who were able to help helping others. i was unable to.

i was locked in pain. i was just trying to get out earlier, my colleague donald quarter, interviewed canadian journalist eva bartlett, who was also at the scene of friday attack. this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. i'm 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 ukrainian presents, of, or medical treatment, no matter. you know, in spite of the fact that these are the enemy combatants. and it is ukraine that is caused, that is inflicted there of potentially mortal injuries on them. here's a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine with 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? well, i mean, we seen many, a 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. our being sent out front lines who are not equipped to fight our being sent are 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, in, in, in safe hands in russian. i imprisonment because they were being kept safe. they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, they were 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 on the terrorist, whether they were al qaeda, free syrian army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it. it wouldn't be the same as surrendering, but from crossing from terrorist held areas into searing 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. the ukranian president office as accused russia of workers trading the attack and called on the u. s. to designate the country as a safe sponsor of terrorism, that's just as the u. s. senate passed that a non binding resolution on the charge. eleanor an act of terrorism by the russians. they launched a strike on the facility where ukrainian prisoners of war soldiers as all fighters were being held. now they are trying to lie by blaming ukraine. biden's

administration has been eager to label russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, accusing it of such activities in ukraine, which moscow has refuted nancy pelosi, one of the biggest supporters of the allegation has been pressuring anthony, blinking on the. * topic, but the official power to designate another country as such belongs to the u. s. state department. we spoke to international criminal lawyer, christopher black, who says the accusation is pure, a quote, fake news conjured up to give the us the greenlight to americas objectives. the timing of the dis attack this murder of their own troops as prisoners of war the day after a few days after the resolution was passed and the u. s. senate is so striking. so, but nobody's going to believe that the russians attack their own camp and it would kill, or we injure their own personnel regarding and taking care of that camp administrating this insane. no one's going to believe that story. so it's quite clear that the key

of regime is willing to murder its own soldiers to create propaganda. but yeah, i think the, they probably will put rashana on that list. i don't think it means much practically in practical terms to russia right now, because there is, as obviously as a war going on between united states in russia. but russia is not the only country dealing with such allegations. former president donald trump, but cuban a list of sponsors of terrorism. this of secret economic sanctions, our reading cube was already humanitarian crisis. again, christopher black says that the u. s. itself should be labeled a terrorist state, given its history cube has been under attack now since the revolution took place in 959. and you know, there was an invasion attempt in 61 of our withdrew the designation briefly. trump reimpose that i didn't see any inclination for them to remove it. now, they're trying to squeeze cube or even worse,

and they've done in the past of the situation in cuba is very dire right now. actually as an act of terrorism, against the cuban people, to designate that because it allows under american law, which is a legal, by the way to impose all sorts of economic warfare on the people of cuba and make their lives a complete misery in the hope that they will rise up and overthrow the socialist government in cuba and put it back under the american, under american controls. and this is never gonna happen. so with the economic warfare is going to continue and every other type of work that they can use against cuba hand, russia will continue. meanwhile, fighting continues on the front lines of the don bass with ukrainian forces continuing to show darya, city from the neighboring city of d. f. scott r t. roman closer of joyce's joys. a don, yes, peoples republic called unit called florida that has been countering key of forces for the last 8 years. we are in the front line in done it's airport,

along with the commander of the legendary sparse battalion. how to jump yoga. and right now he's going to show us the positions of the ukranian army, which are a mere kilometer away from where we are at the moment, not to start a new party when you can, the enemies on the other side we, they have concentrated their large forces cold up their reserves and are showing municipal buildings or schools, kindergarten, so ordinary city buildings, their hit and the infrastructure of the city decided here. we are now at the frontline where you can hear the shelling, but it's not aimed at us. they are not interested in us. i was they are shelling civilians. mm. with currently heading up to one of the hubs or ration

points here. had done esc airport from where we should get a very clear view of what's going on. on the other side. the stand off between the next people's republic army and the ukranian nationalist forces have been going on here at the desk airport for the last 8 years. ukraine has fortified its military positions which are at the moment a mere kilometer away can see the smoke arising. and this is the result of artillery all for the nest people's republic who are pounding ukrainian positions on a daily basis. however, as i understand ukraine have a cemented themselves on those positions and continue striking peaceful civilians. off don, ask noah police to proceed without the neo nazis. a simply trying to destroy civilian emphasis using western nice a weapons seamless. they are showing the infrastructure, trying to beat us,

put pressure on us. bless, trying to kill the soldiers. more trying to kill civilians. ukrainian army is a shedding the city of dennis from of dave god and from a pesky gun ask is just the kilometer away to my right. and right here in the middle is the dentist concern national airport, which should back in 20 minutes and costs about a $1000000000.00 to build right now. it lies in ruins and it remains one of the main positions from with the legendary sparta. the italian are defending their citizens. ruin calls for f r t. done as to people's republic. the u. s. government has filed charges against a russian national, accusing him of interfering in american elections and spreading pro russian narratives. according to the department of justice. alexander ian off utilize a number of political groups for the operation. inova allegedly orchestrated praise

and influence campaign, turning us political groups and us citizens into instruments of the russian government. the department of justice will not allow russia to unlawfully so division and spread most information inside the united states. well, alex is the leader of an n g o called the anti globalization movement. and today the u. s. department of justice and the u. s. attorneys in florida indicted him for allegedly, conspiring to meddle in us politics, to encourage americans to distrust the government to interfere in us election. it's cetera. and they leveled these allegations against them. he's based in moscow and they essentially are accusing him of the crime. he is indicted now at the same time that these indictments came down, there were rapes against various political groups in the united states that the u. s. department of justice alleges are linked to to and he is alleged for

and meddling. and in response to that, you know, we have seen quite a bit of outcry. now we understand that one of the groups that was targeted was the you who house, which is the headquarters of the african people socialist party, which is a black nationalist and socialist organization. that has been operating in the united states over the past few decades. the long time leader of that organization, or molly? yes, italy and his wife were taken out of the headquarters at gunpoint and hancock. we understand there was the use of them flashbanc as well as drones that were used in the way it was quite an intense display, enforced by us law enforcement against this political group. and the leaders of this political group say, this is rooted in the failure of the u. s. government and the u. s. system. not any crime there alleged to participate in. this is what we heard from representatives of the who removed one. i think that it's exposed to the crisis that the us,

the us imperialism event. because the u. s. and other world colonial powers have been collaborating against russia for well, early in the early 1900. and this is a consequence right now. we're 2022 that we see the same attack against russia. and right now this, this war on you, when you create that defensive war and ukraine, russia is actually waging against world colonial power, not ukraine, of a single entity, but the u. s. and all colonial power will have an interest in colonialism dominating african people right here in this country and around the world and extracting resources from the majority of people on the planet that system. this current system is in severe crisis and they cannot rule in the same way. there is a long history of black activists in the united states being accused of working for russia. dr. martin luther king junior, was alleged that a communist and a soviet agent. similar allegations were thrown at, malcolm acts and other black leaders, the black, panthers and others. now this organization, the who movement makes the point of saying that they did not accept any money from

the russian government. however, they are not opposed to receiving financial support from individuals who wants to battle against what they call the colonial power that dominate the world. and they, you the black nation within the united states as struggling again. now, at this point, we're seeing this indictment against yon up. and the indictment essentially says that he could serve up to 5 years in prison for allegedly conspiring to utilize american political organizations in some kind of malign influence operation. this is the latest example of the attempt by us leaders to so in narrative, where russia is responsible for the rising unrest and political confusion in the united states feeding into this narrative where russia outreach the elections for from russia, metals in the us elections with facebook means other such claim, many of which are largely unproven and largely serve to distract from deeper problems in the american system. ah,

gas flowed through the north stream. one is yet to return to full capacity as canada has failed to supply a long awaited turbine needed for the pipeline to function staley. that's according to gas from deputy chairman who says the initial contract provision is being violated despite the company's best efforts to clear up the situation. what is shipping to put you to be expected to get the turbine back after the pads in may. but the engine is so far not been returned to russia. so tucson, c, russian sanctions was sent to germany, not to russia without cause problems consent which does not comply with the terms of the contract. we. we have repeatedly applied to the russian representatives office of siemens sent them 10 lessons, asking them what is going on. seamans are so far fixed no more than a quarter of the identify problems with the turbine. we have not received construct to proposals to restore the reliability of these engines in accordance with the legislation of the russian federation. gas from's deputy chair also says that 3 other engines that suffered for faults and may and june still need to be repaired

by seamans, putting the pipeline in a state of force downtime. siemens has declined to respond to gas prompt comments. instead, referring to a previous statement that claimed it has no access to the turbines on site, and had not received any damage reports from gas prompts. meanwhile, the uncertainty continues to affect the normal functioning of the pipeline. it's output to europe being significantly reduced. germans are starting to literally see and feel the energy crisis with street lights being switched off along with a toilet paper shortage. as europeans hunker down for a cold winter due to reduced energy imports from russia over the ease. oh and sanctions are t contributor. rachel marson 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 krom 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, 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 and public facilities. frankly, it sounds like a great vacation destination for a competitive swimmers like me who always find public pools of certainly overheated . so c as soon hanner, but it would be amusing to see france try that as it takes nearly, he weighs 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 a big city like hanover berlin is also stopped lighting its monuments by the way. so 15 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 crunch, potentially leading to toilet paper shortages. yeah, you heard that right? real ones. this time apparently. so for our germans who irrationally ran out and t, the shelves of toilet paper and supermarkets, like pretty much everywhere else in the western world. right. as cove id said in,

maybe you're a 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 to, mima likely a seems to be falling discreetly in the footsteps of hungry, whose foreign affairs minister has already into new deals with russia for more gas in defiance. if you sanctions lobby is main 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 is 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 economists, mom do solomon told us that the energy crisis is only just begun for europeans. well, germany is doing a which will not benefit. i mean, crisis in which germany finds itself in a row. that is a future good. russia is done with russia. so when do they have in the final release? i'm sure relation. i was, i was interview becomes, i'm a friend and then we'll need the european union. a is

a very good king king and gentleman this season. they are finishing a live. i. yes. thing. they will have to be huge. if not when this is they would have sure to use and if they have a shrimp l room, s u. s. foreign policy is again under the microscope after in a legit plan to smuggle guns to haiti as church donations left many people furious . the incident took place on july 14, when custom says it sees more than 20 weapons and around 15000 rounds of ammunition in a container sent from the u. s. to the episcopal church of haiti. the church, however, claims documents found that with the shipment,

tying it to the guns were fords, local officials and you and representatives have threat such a legal arms or a detriment to the country security. a mid growing game violence that has led to hundreds of monthly casualty since a 2010 earthquake, the u. s. as it has provided over 5100000000 in assistance to haiti. the editor in chief of the eva post website with laura med and cor, says the u. s. should be tackling the smuggling of weapons to haiti, not contributing to it as its own reports show america's role in the armed gang violence in the caribbean. the very own a u. s. just to print reports from 2019 in the full sent that most guns which feeds in criminal activities. and he comes from the u. s . so clearly, there is a problem with guns coming from the country to countries like haiti. we don't have

the, you know, systems, a bummer systems in place to filter them. and this is a problem that any for 80 is a problem for mexico. if i were for other countries in the caribbean, because the numbers coming from the justice department similar to, to do over the countries in the, in the area. so the open way of dealing with guns in the u. s. that is also fueling crimes in this country. is having an impact on other countries in the region and neighboring countries. and this is something that they have to step up and deal with because it's one thing you have a problem when you're 33. but it's, you know, once you have this problem mean transported or conscious, but at the same time, i think it's important also to blame ation that series and to blame, especially in the country because we have seen actors but speeding in this traffic

we have, we're behind the people participating in the traffic and they do it in one hour because it's right if they can get money, a lot of money actually from it. but in the other hand, they do it also because that gives them power a trio of south american countries have refused to join others from the continent and condemning russians. role in the conflict in ukraine. that's according to a declaration approved at the latest conference of defense ministers of the america argentina and brazil, in accordance with the principles that regulate their foreign policy, recognized the role of the u. n. in achieving international peace and security and considered this organization as a venue with appropriate authority to resolve the conflict in ukraine. the 3rd country, mexico has said it should not be the role of the conference to condemn russia's actions and cited with argentina and brazil. and failing to criticize russia's

operation, the trio, join china, india, and pakistan among many others. the conference is an international, multi lateral political forum house every 2 years with 34 countries participating. we heard from stevens, stoughton, a writer, and community worker in nicaragua, who says more and more south american countries are shifting to support. a multi polar world led by china and russia. what happened was that the leaders of mexico, brazil and argentina dissociate themselves. i can't help feeling that i was an extremely good man because they were forced to publicly come off the fence. whereas previously, for example, in the votes earlier this year in march and april in the united nations, countries like argentine had votes and with the united states on motions criticizing russia, condemning russia for special military operation. ukraine's as time has gone

on countries like argentine, have seen with true interest and it's very clear for their decision to dissociate themselves from the defense minister declaration. criticizing rushes operation in you train. those 3 countries are very clearly now aligned with the rest of the majority world, if not openly, in support of russia, at least not only criticizing it apart from the big economic power houses in south america. you know, the whole range of other smaller countries are also choosing to gravitate towards the multiple world led by china and the russian federation. then as well and colombia rebuilding ties after years of mutual isolation.

reconciliation comes after meeting of the 2 countries is foreign ministers. a few months rolling 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 to reinstate the ambassadors who are going to represent our countries, all the teams that should be working in the different consulates. both those representing the bully, very in republic of venezuela and the republic of columbia. give you any 1300000000 . the countries are also discussing a reopening of their mutual border, which has been shot since 2019 due to columbia's previous refusal to recognize venezuelan leader, nicolas, my lot of their relations began deteriorating in 2015 admitted serious migration crisis. both sides also close their respective embassies. the thought comes as the new colombian president, gustavo pedro, is that to be sworn in next month. a latin america researcher at the middlesex

university supp fransisco dominga says this is a good development for both countries and the region as a whole. i think it for the, for the peace process all columbia, i think you very good those as well. and from the point of view, a country in the following sense, it is excellent for the original agreement to, you know, restart corporation and opening the, the from other relation to is excellent. i think the region is them stating that he wants to be and you want to have relation. everybody will be nice. but without these relation being an obstacle for them to develop any other means that they want . and the case that, that's in america, most countries now, or you can just call you a ship, which is, you know, rush all the way to china. and this is what it going to happen. you know,

they seems to be quite important to prevent this from happening. how did world war 2 western allies use world war 2 to benefit themselves? watch world war 2 leaders on our team to find out, see at the top of the hour. ah, [000:00:00;00] this the 2nd will think to millions of people during the conflict the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations.
