development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with as ukraine's relentless shelling of the don. yes, capital continues russian lead forces, deactivate band anti personnel mines found in abundance in the city center. after saturday's attack, russia and vice international organizations to pro been elected ukrainian strike on a don. yes, detention facility which left 50 of cab spiders, dead and $73.00 loaded sanctions rise in the taiwan strait as us housekeeper. nancy pelosi starter core of asia with a stop scheduled for taipei, despite multiple warnings from china. and to the stories that shape the weak

brushes, foreign minister received a warm welcome while visiting 4 african nations despite western pressure for them to snub moscow. with good morning from moscow, with the top stories from the past 7 days and the latest news as well. this is the weekly on our t. i'm figuerola is about we begin with the residential areas of the don. yes. for public's capital, which continue to be struck by ukrainian shelling according to local authorities with videos of the on suing explosions, circulating online. ah. this on verified video shows multiple blasts over dawn. yes. local officials claim ukrainian forces fired nearly 500 different shelves at the city on saturday alone, leaving one person dead and 9 others injured.

ah, russian blood forces continue to work on deactivating, prohibited anti personnel, p, f. m one pedal mines that can now be found in great numbers in the dying as city center and in nearby residential areas after ukrainian troops launched them into the area . romano, casa of reports from don. yes. we have experienced a yet another terrifying evening here in the nets. ukraine continues shelling civilian areas here. we've been hearing very loud explosions in donna's cancel at least 11 pm on saturday evening. now over the last few days, ukraine have changed their tactics and began covering the city with the so called pets, all mines. now for those who are not familiar with the warfare, let me explain this. now those are high caliber cluster rockets that are filled

with mines that says spread over at sarah, sorry, of a civilian area. now those are mines that are armed and once they land on the ground, look like butterflies to an on friend i. now those are usually against an enemy infantry, but right now they land on the grounds in civilian areas. now they're pretty much a noticeable once they're on the ground. usually they're designed, once again is meant to fight to fight the infantry of the enemy. but in this case, their designated for the civilians of dun boss, now local authorities are warned all citizens to be vigilant and report anything that they might find me other houses. meanwhile, officials in ukraine have called on the residence in don boss to evacuate from territories. there are currently under e crating and control,

and that's because they cannot guarantee that they will be able to provide basic services like heating or for example, in the winter. mind you, this evacuation is obligatory for all citizens and those people in gun boss refuse must provide a written statement. russia has officially invited observers from 2 international organizations to pro cab's a lead to strike on a detention facility. and don yeske or ukrainian prisoners of war were held. moscow says ukraine carried out the attack on the prison in the town of elin mosca, while kiev blames russian forces warning you may find the falling images distressing. the united nations in the international committee of the red cross have been invited to pro friday selling of the detention center, which russia says was carried out with a u. s. high mark rocket system of the $193.00 green fighters being held in the

facility. 50 died and 73 were taken to the hospital with serious injuries following the attack. moscow has called the shelling a direct provocation by key have backed by washington, adding that ukraine has subsequently tried to hide its role in the quote war crime carried out to intimidate its own fighters here in return says that russia is responsible for the strike earlier, john quarter spoke to canadian journalists, eva bartlett, who was also at the seed. this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. and its 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. 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 the ukrainian presents of,

or medical treatment. no matter. you know, in spite of the fact that these are our 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 videos being shared on social media on 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 or being sent out front lines were not equipped to fight our being sent to our death. so i, 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, they're 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 for syrian army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering, but from crossing from terrorist held areas in 2 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. meanwhile, u. s. house speaker, nancy pelosi has started her torn asia, yet it's still unclear whether he will visit taiwan. china has warned against the trip to taipei and promise serious consequences if the visit goes to had our

correspondence. rachel blevins has the story. nancy pelosi has kicked off her highly anticipated trip to asia. but she refuses to say whether she will visit taiwan this week, claiming she can't reveal too much for security reasons. of course, so far the house speakers team has provided a list that includes japan, south korea, malaysia and singapore. however, china continues to warn against us politicians setting foot and taiwan, and beijing's military has started conducting unscheduled exercises, 280 kilometers from the island. tensions continue to escalate in the south china sea with taiwan launching drills of its own. all of this as beijing says it considers a below sea visit to be a red line that the u. s. should not cross. you do. we have repeatedly made it clear to america, our stern position against you was house speaker nancy pelosi is potential visit to

taiwan. if the u. s insists on going its own way and challenging the red line of china, it will surely be met with forceful responses. if the u. s insists on taking its own course. the chinese military will never sit idly by and it will definitely take strong actions to, for any external forces interference in, while a commentator for china's global times wrote that the chinese military would have the right to intercept any you as fighter jets. that accompanied philosophy is plain and even shoot them down and they don't respond to calls. but despite the threats us media and politicians continue to argue that policy can't back down. now, because that would be a big win for china. we can not allow chinese threats to deter a mere visit my member of congress apply one. if we can allow the chinese to dictate who can visit taiwan and who cannot, then we have already seated taiwan to the chinese. if pelosi postpones, will cancels a visit, it will be seen as a u. s. climbed down in the face of chinese indignation and protest,

and an affront to our friends in taiwan bay. jane says the plan visit not only flies in the face of decades of diplomacy, but also violates the one china policy which the u. s. has historically respected in which taiwan is classified as a breakaway province of china. while the u. s. has sold taiwan billions of dollars and heavy weapons over the years. it is largely respected the principal in terms of diplomacy up until the trump administration. and now the by an administration continues increases tensions with pelosi taking the largest step towards conflict so far. but china is not backing down. and recently a representative raised the issue with the un calling for the nation. sovereignty to be respected were dog. certain countries have repeatedly emphasized the principle of sovereignty over the issue of ukraine. but they have incessantly challenged china's sovereignty on the taiwan question, and even deliberately created tension in the taiwan strait o 2,

don't. this is blasphemy and an infringement of the principles and purposes of the un charter as her what the people of taiwan think about the situation summer expressing concerns that a visit from pelosi will only lead to even more attention in the region. i think she is coming to taiwan because of her upcoming mid term elections at home. she wants to attract attention and demonstrate that she stands on the side of democracy and freedom to oppose the chinese communist party. the united states will not be a true friend of ours. under the geopolitical circumstances, we can only lean a little towards the u. s. otherwise, china will soon have us for lunch with them all now in polo, says court. all eyes are on taiwan as observers. wonder just how far china is prepared to go in its response and who can actually benefit from such a provocation by the us. lee proposed a visit to taiwan by nancy pelosi will really blow up the china us relations and inflict huge detriments to both with chinese people as well as the

american people this whole. so to demonstrate, once again being very graphic and terms that the united states is challenging, the one child policy by words as well as by deeds. from the chinese perspective, we have made it known to the united states that nancy pelosi, a speaker of the house of representatives of the united states, should not and cannot goal to visit taiwan. now on to the stories that shaped the week, the russian foreign minister conducted a trip to 4 african countries and received a warm welcome everywhere. that's a spite calls from the west to isolate moscow. it is becoming clear that russia is recognizing that his own actions have caused it to become a

we have good relations with russia. all countries of africa have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies quicker. our stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged. since its break out, we never want to how with the wolves as fuel to the fire visits are deemed such a success that the u. s. secretary of state is also set to travel to south africa. the democratic republic of congo and rwanda. washington announcing the new august trips just 2 days after lab rob ended, his visit. r t 's maria, the notion of followed him throughout. here's her story on how it went. egypt, congo, uganda, ethiopia. truly historic tour. at a time of isolation, russia, the world's most sanctioned country, is supposed to be struggling,

losing ties and partners. but instead, it's foreign minister to was the african continent with a bank playing lead times in 4 days, aid for a different african country than everywhere. russia. 7 diplomat was accepted as a high leverage back to get as a brand in ethiopia, they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect, meant everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without a mask since the cove at 19 outbreak made a notable exception for love rav he had nothing on his mouth, but a smile in congo. the hogs smiles and jokes that greeted la rob. we're more representative of an old pals reunion rather than formal diplomacy. a, in each country, they all saw it the same russia, enjoying overwhelming appreciation for supporting african anti colonial movements.

more than half a century ago, while recognizing the independence of african states. this report been with us for the last 100 years. how can we be, what am i to again, this is a how can you have a good a, somebody was never home, does the venues for labrems 3 were picked carefully and wisely. a no gonna. he was greeted by a veteran african ruler and opinion leader. while in congo it was the turn of a regional influencer. at the country's hound since 1979 and then on to cairo on ad is added that they had quarters of 2 powerful original bodies. the arab league and the african union both said they had failed pressure from the west ahead of the visit. but i'm foresee right now, these instincts of colonialism emerge in the politics of western countries when they demand the whole well, take their side and running against all the others. one day they asked me a question, are you bruce wolf? always?

i said, you must, you must come when you do. why do you think of my, my many job used to be for some wood. i am through, i should've, in fear of provocation african union ambassadors asked for a meeting in russia's embassy. while the arab league was less intimidated, although asked by western diplomats not to be pictured with lab rob in protest at russia's actions in ukraine, they gave a rather clear response. the west with his sanctions and condemnation basically pushed russia closer towards asia and africa. but as soon as it realised they could backfire, they tried to fix the situation by blame in russia, by blockading ukraine's grain exports and restricting the trade of russia's own fertilizer. lugens actions have had the consequence of inflicting pain on the people of kenya and on other countries throughout the world. he is hurting

the people of kenya in order to benefit his own situation from his own perspective. but africa didn't seem to buy it, although there are no data functions on the, on the, on the week, the west was stopped. russian ships for all coding on the number of ports, plus lumber off came to africa with the good news. a deal was reached to resume grain experts from the black sea. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most formidable people on the edge of famine. a tool of fabulous global food prices, which would already be at record levels even before the war at tonight's mad for developing countries. and with the west, realizing the russia to blame for everything car didn't help. it used a very unexpected joker. if russia is one of the last imperial colonial

powers, it has decided to invade a neighboring country to defend its interest. that's the reality. it's a bitter irony to hear such sentiments from the leader of the country that has been colonized in africa for decades. that has basically never stopped seeing the continent has its own property, years after independence movements to called have to use in it as a backyard for nuclear tests. and as an endless base for free natural resources. the russian foreign minister is not the only one who are in africa the they. 0 also making the journey on the french president, you add them back to their, to the you when the head of the us agency for international development. analysts say it's like a new cold war played out in africa with rival trying to get in. well, yes, and now however, while others had just woken up to see africa as a partner, russia and real friend has always been here very from ocean m. t,

from africa. a norwegian on way to russia is in hot water. after being caught on camera, say she hates russians and demanding better treatment. as a scandinavian incident took place one console, elizabeth ellington wasn't happy with how her hotel room had been cleaned. while staying in the northern city of merman easy, navia. like these western values are becoming more and more impressive. the representative of a foreign stay did not hold back in exposing her malice. the reason was the request of the hotel manager to wait a bit until her room was cleaned. at the moment, the russian foreign ministries working out options for responding to this outrageous act of hatred, nationalism anchor in a phobia, russian authority say they're now investigating the incident which could amount to

a hate speech crime. r t reached out to oslo for com, and norway's foreign ministry responded with an apology for the counsels remarks saying it does not share her views. the minister of foreign affairs deep liter christine said, and the sentiments expressed in no way reflect norwegian policy or norwegian attitudes towards russia and the russian people. the incident is been handled by the ministry through appropriate channels, university of southeastern norway. professor glen deece then told us that the counsels accents or reflection of widespread western reserve phobia that really a lot of hate statements. this might not stranger to being in the way the hotel stuff, but this is obviously something or a different, very despicable comments. you have well embarrassed and also disgraced our country and normally on one hand, it doesn't represent official position of the know we just nate or the people.

although on the other hand, it reflects, i guess why the rest of phobia, not just in this country about across the west. i mean, i've argued myself for many years now. a horrible thing set about russians. you can't say about any other nationality and it's become a very accepted form of racism or hatred towards one people. you probably correct when you say that this is how you might reflect the opinion of many people, but you're not supposed to say it out loud. the united states economy has now met the conditions of our recession. that's according to the latest statistical data which shows that country g, d p, declining for a 2nd consecutive quarter. but the white house is in no rush to accept the economic downturn that doesn't sound like recession to me. i don't, i do not think the u. s. is currently in a recession, even if that number is negative, we're not in a recession. now the bike administration is reassuring us that everything is fine.

as you heard the secretary of the treasury, janet yelena, she is saying that this isn't a recession. this is quote, a transition in which rose is slowing. a transition in which road is slowing. she says, not a recession. now this is a similar thing in response to the issue of inflation. inflation in united states is that a 40 year high and we've been reassured by us officials. this is simply a matter of transition. however, the inflation has continued. it has continued to be an issue, it's not simply a temporary issue of transition. it's continuing to go on. now at this point in response to this issue, inflation, we have the buying administration spending billions of dollars with a law that they call the inflation reduction act. of 2022. this is how americans responded to this bill. democrats just unveiled the inflation reduction act. someone please tell dems that tanking the economy with tax hikes and bad

policy is a crappy way to tackle inflation. only the government could propose a bill to increase spending and call it the inflation reduction act. remember, they always named the bills the opposite of what they actually mean in any other business, this would constitute fraud and false advertising. so to combat inflation, the government is about to approve $750000000000.00 in new spending and calling it the inflation reduction act. spoiler alert, democrats, new spending bill that they're calling the inflation reduction act will only increase inflation. now they saw a prices for just about everything are squeezing america's working families, as they're struggling to pay their bills, pay for necessities, and keep the households running amid the rising costs. at this point, we've seen u. s. stock market tank, the s and p 500 is down by 15 percent. home sales have slipped this year and consumer confidence is low. many are looking on and wondering if this could be yet

another nail in the coffin of the by the administration. invest that manager mich fire sign says it's impossible to look for a solution from the same people responsible for the current crisis. jenny, ellen has been consistently wrong when she was the chairman of the fed and she was on the board of the fed. now as a treasury secretary, the root causes of the problem are too much debt, too much credit to much leverage in too much money printing for 2 decades now it's coming bite them. i think the recession started long before this g, d, p. net negative g d p for so you know, if they want to put lipstick on a pig, it's never going to turn into a super model, a recession. we're in a recession, we've been in a recession. they can lie as much as they want. it wouldn't be the 1st time, so i don't know why anybody shot it. inflation is at all times. we're not comparing like it like 19 eighties. if you use the same methodology, you calculate current inflation now. probably closer to 20 percent. what people are

not talking about as well is the amount of debt that's been accrued during these negative interest rate years. so now you've got debt from the zombie corporations and there are a lot of them that can never be repaid. so you've got probably 6 trillion dollars worth of triple b and junk bonds that have to be refinance. so you will see a massive amount of defaults and bankruptcies that will cause the coming crisis. you know, she said, i think 2 years ago or 3 years ago will never see another crisis in a lifetime. right before her mean, she's been consistently what she's been saying, inflation is transitory. inflation is transit for 6 months ago. so why would you believe people that are consistently wrong? the problem is we're going to the same people who created the problems for a solution and they have no solution. and we have no leadership in the aftermath of a space from president bite and in which he said he did not feel the recession in

the us. like a pedia, reportedly edited its definition of recession more than 40 times in less than 24 hours. the website later, temporarily band users from replying any changes to the page, referring to the previous edit as vandalism. it also warned that the current information may be unreliable due to the ongoing events. the u. s. g d p fall 0.9 percent in the 2nd quarter, according to an estimate released by the bureau of economic analysis that follows a 1.6 percent decline in the 1st quarter. already a hint at recession, that's as the countries inflation gauge reaches 6.8 percent, leaving americans with little relief from surging costs. we asked americans for their views with many claiming washington is turning a blind eye to the country's economic problems as sky high inflation and a declining economy effect family budgets. briefly he says, is a delusion, whether it be about their recession, gas prices,

and everything on the war and ukraine, like every session here in the economy, the gas, super high, there's not born down low. the food is expensive, we can't get brandy. everything falls in, i mean in the cost of living is cost is higher at the disagree with this view that there is no recession. i think that that's just a good talking point sales. well, it's good for, for politics. but how that really lands on everyday people who are responsible for purchasing eggs and milk. thanks for watching. that was the weekly, as well as the latest headline news for more content. follow us on instagram and twitter and checked out our rumble and odyssey for more videos. see at the top of the hour. ah, what else?

seemed wrong when all just a sheep out disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds of horn, we choose to look for common ground. ah, churchill goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world. there which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere and to market and to labor had 2

resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict. the interest with john chil will install in of an impending attack on the u. s. s huh. in the face of great danger, he seeks an alliance with russia. stall and doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia suddenly, with our declaration of war without even algae, megan, the german bomb rein down from the guy

a been the russian in russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the united states. 2 days later us, president roosevelt also gives a speech supporting the ussr. but there are other political forces in the united states. territory makes his speech in december of 40. 1 said it is as if the russians are waiting. we support the germans. and if the germans are, when we support the russians and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time, dangerous destructive, roosevelt wound style and of japan's intention to attack the soviet union. but soviet intelligence reports thanked the via tank is still in doubt it is imperative.
