a warm welcome while visiting 4 african nations, despite western pressure for them to snub moscow with hello from moscow to wherever you're catching us. i'm here ella is above what the top stories from the past 7 days and the latest news as well. this is the weekly on r t, and we have breaking news right now. ukrainian drones attacked the headquarters of the russian navy in the black sea, leaving 5 people injured. that's according to the civil stapo governor all russian navy day celebrations in the crimea and port city this sunday have been canceled with locals, told to stay home due to the threat of further possible attacks. ah, residential areas of the desk. republics, capital continue to be struck by ukrainian shelly, according to local authorities, with videos of the ensuing exposure of circulating online. ah. this on verified video shows multiple blast over

that's all minds. 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 territory of a civilian area. now those are mines that are armed and once they land on the ground, look like butterflies to an untrained eye. now those are usually against an enemy infantry, but right now they land on the ground 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 have 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't 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 dont, boss refuse must provide a written statement, russia has officially invited observers from 2 international organizations to probe, gives a legit strike on a detention facility. and don, yes or ukrainian prisoners of war were held. moscow says ukraine carried out the attack on the prison in the town of villa nova, while kiev blames russian forces warning you may find the falling images distressing. the united nations and the international committee of the red cross

have been invited to croak friday. shelley of the detention center, which russia says was carried out with the u. s. high marks rocket system of the $193.00 ukranian 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 kev, 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. key of in return says that russia is responsible for the strike. earlier dawn quarter spoke to canadian journalists, eva bartlett, who was at the scene. 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 ukrainian presents of, or medical treatment. no matter, you know, in spite of the fact that these are enemy combatants and it is ukraine that is caused, that is sla inflicted there are 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 and combat? well, i mean, we seen many, a 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, were being sent out to front lines who are 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 that they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in rush and imprisonment because they were being kept safe . they were been fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, they were targeted by their own government to 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, it wouldn't be the same as surrendering. but from crossing from terrorist held areas into 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,

us how speaker nancy pelosi has started her torn asia. yeah, 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 ahead. 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 thou 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. tangents 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 blue. 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 u. s. media and politicians continue to argue that policy can't back down now, because that would be a big win for china. we cannot 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. jane says the plan visits 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 with certain countries have repeatedly emphasized the principle of

sovereignty over the issue of ukraine. but they have incessantly challenged china 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, and it's 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 you freaked huge detriments to both with chinese people as well as the american people this whole. so to demonstrate, once again is 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. lagoon, our stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged. since its breakout, we never wanted to how with the wolves as tool to the fire the visits were 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. our t 's maria, the notion of followed him throughout. here's her story. i'm how it went. agent, congo, uganda ac, off. yes. 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 bang airplane land that 4 times in 4 days and for a different african country than everywhere. russia. 7 diploma more than that as a high leverage back the gas. as a brand in ethiopia, they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect and everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without a mask since the callback 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 lover were more representative of an old pals reunion rather than formal diplomacy, a,

in each country. they also the same russia, enjoying overwhelming appreciation for supporting african anti colonial movements more than half a century ago while recognizing the independence of african state. this report been with us for the last 100. ready years, how can we be, what the money a, how can you have been to somebody was never hom 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 and ad is had about 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 40 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 rose? i said, you must, you must think i wanted you. why do you think my men job used to be for some wood? i'm throw myself 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. wounds 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 see to buy it, although no data functions on the, on the, on, on the wheat there wish 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 rich 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. and tulip stabilized global foot prices, which would already at record levels even before the war a total nightmare for developing countries. and with the west, realizing the rush it to blame for everything car didn't help. it used

a very unexpected joker. no, he didn't, didn't yet russia is one of the last imperial colonial powers. it has decided to invade a neighboring country to defend its interests. 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 seen. the continent has its own property, years after independence movements to called have to use in it as a backyard for nuclear tests, and has an endless base for free natural resources. the russian foreign minister is not the only one to or in africa the they also make the journey on the french president, but you add them back to their did you when they had of the us agency for international development. analysts say it's my can, you call was played out in africa with rival trying to get english as well. yes. and now however, while others had just woken up to the africa as a partner,

russia and real friend has always been here. very good, awesome how team from africa norwegian on way to russia is in hot water. after being caught on camera, i think he hates russians and demanding better treatment as a scandinavian. the incident took place when console elizabeth ellington wasn't happy about how her hotel room had been cleaned while staying in the northern city of merman. this easy navia. mm hm. it was like the 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 authorities say they are now investigating the incident which could amount to a hate speech crime. archie reached out to oslo for comment, and norway's foreign ministry responded with an apology for the consuls remarks, saying it does not share her views, diminished, affording fears deep later crabs the incident. the sentiments expressed in no, we deflect norwegian policy or norwegian attitudes towards russia and the russian people. the incident is been handled by the ministry through appropriate channels. university of south eastern norway professor glen diss and told us that the counsels actions are reflection of widespread western bruce. the phobia that really a lot of have this i'm not stranger to being in the way the hotel stuff is obviously something or is different very respectable. comments, you have well embarrass and also disgrace our country and normally on one hand it

doesn't represent official position, we just are the people. although on the other hand it reflects, i guess why the rest of phobia must have been this country across the west. i mean, i've argued myself for many years now that the horrible things 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're 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 recession. that's according to the latest statistical data which shows the countries 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 bind administration spending billions of dollars with a law that they call the inflation reduction act of 2022. and 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 and the cost of the by the administration. investment manager, mich ferren style says it's impossible to look for a solution from the same people responsible for the current crisis. janet yellow and he's can consistently wrong when she was the chairman of the fed and she was on the board of the fed. now as the treasury secretary, the root causes of the problem are too much debt, too much credit to much leverage and 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 wanna 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, i don't know why anybody shot 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 mass for the 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. mean, she's been consistently what she's been saying, inflation is transitory. lation 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 to create a default for a solution, and they have no solution. and we have no leadership in the aftermath of

a speech from president biden, and which he said he did not feel the recession and the u. s. wikipedia reportedly added its definition of recession more than 40 times in less than 24 hours. the website later, temporarily ban users from applying any changes to the page, referring to the previous edits as vandalism. it also warned that the current information may be unreliable due to the ongoing events. u. s. u d p fell 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 countries economic problems as sky high inflation and a declining economy. of fact, family budgets briefly says,

is it a, whether it be about the recession of gas prices and everything on the proof from the war frame, like every session here in the economy, the gas super high, born down low. the food is expensive. we can't give bread and he's, everything's a name in the cost of living in hong is higher at the disagree with you, that there is no recession. i think that that's just a good talking point. it's 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 news, as well as the latest headline news for more content. follow us on instagram and twitter, and check out rumble and odyssey for more videos to you soon. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very difficult time to sit down and talk with a

with welcome to well, the part when the americans live pakistan support than driving the soviets out of afghanistan, they quietly look be either way to allow islam about to put the finishing touches to nuclear bomb. fast forward some 40 years and the same actors, the same powers are at loggerheads here again, this time in the ukraine who's president earlier this year. and now he's countries intention to develop again, it's clear and military capability. what the americans look away yet again,

if it were to undermine moscow? well, to discuss that and now joined by a sub dirani, former director general of pakistan's inter services intelligence. mr. dirani. thank you very much for your time. it's a great honor for me to talk to you. welcome, welcome. so now you were in charge of pakistan's intelligence services. in the early 1991, the soviet union collapsed and a few years before that, i'm sure you're witness there, followed the so it pull out from afghanistan. when you now hear western analyst comparing the current operation to current russian operation, ukraine to you know, the previous one in afghanistan, and some of them, i think, predicting the consequences will be the same that russia will be buried as a state in the ukraine. what are your thoughts? do you think those are accurate predictions? there are many parallels between various situations. but the fontas on a new cream. i can think of a couple anyone coming through.
