despite western pressure from them to stop moscow. ah, hello from moscow to wherever you're catching us from. this is the weekly on r t with the top stories for the past 7 days, and the latest news as well. i'm fiorella, isabel, residential areas of the don. yes, republics. capital continue to be struck by ukrainian shelling according to local authorities with videos of the on suey explosions, circulating online. mm hm. this unverified video shows multiple blasts over dawn. yes, local officials, claim ukrainian forces fired nearly 500 different shells at the city on saturday alone. leaving one person dead and 9 others injured. ah, russia lead forces continue to work on deactivating prohibited anti personnel,

p. f. m one. had told mines that could now be found in great numbers in the don. yes, city center and in nearby residential areas after ukrainian troops launched them into the area. romano closer f reports from don. yes. we have experience yet another terrifying evening here in the next ukraine continues shelling civilian areas here. we've been hearing very loud explosions in donna's cancel at least 11 pm on saturday evening and out 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 territory of

a civilian area. now those are mines that are armed and once they land on the ground, the look like butterflies to an untrained eye. 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 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 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 who refuse must provide a written statement, rush as officially invited of reverse from 2 international organizations to probe, gives a legit strike on a detention facility and don, yes. where ukrainian prisoners of war were held. moscow says ukraine carried out the attack on the prison in the town of elin nova, while kiev blames russian forces warning you may find the falling images distressing. the united nations and the international community of the red cross have been invited to probe friday, shelling of the detention center, which russia says was carried out with a u. s. high mark rocket system of the $193.00 ukraine and fighters being held in the facility. 50 died and 73 were taken to the hospital was serious injuries following the attack. moscow was 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. he have in turn, says russia is responsible for the strike. earlier dawn quarter spoke to canadian journalist, i have a bartlett who was at the scene. this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility, mom and its notable by the way i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured i'm 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 the 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 on telegram, et cetera 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 when 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, 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 terrorist whether they were al qaeda for syria, army, isis, et cetera, intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrender ring by 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. meanwhile, us how 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 ahead. our correspondent rachel blevins has a 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. 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 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 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. 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 us 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 usaa cuz otherwise china will soon have us for lunch. with of all now in polos, is 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 epis 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 now and to the stories that shape 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 tooth in. we have good relations with russia. all countries of africa have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies or stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since its breakout. we never wanted to how with the wolves as to the fire the 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, andra, wanda washington, announcing the new august trips just 2 days after lab rob ended his visit ortiz maria for no. should i followed him throughout. here's her story on how it went. agent, congo, uganda, a ceo, piano, 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 2 of the african continent with a bang airplane lead times in 4 days and for a different african country than everywhere. russia. 7 diploma wasn't that as a high res, back that gas as a brand in ethiopia, they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect men, everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without

a mask since the kava 19 outbreak made a notable exception for love rav he had nothing on his mouth but a smile in congo. the hogs, smiled, and jokes and greeted laval were more representative of an old pals reunion rather than formal diplomacy. a, in each country, they all saw it. the same rush, 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 years. how can we be with a, how can i begin to somebody who was never harmed us? the venues for labrems 3 were picked carefully and wisely, you know, 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 the headquarters of too powerful regional bodies, the arab league, and the african union. both said they had felt pressure from the west ahead of the is it, but i'm 40 right now. these instincts have 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 ask me a question. are you approached or pro is a gender you mushroom muffin? come when did you? when you think of my, my many job used to be for somebody i am through i should have it 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, on the which there with cars stopped rush on ships for all coding on a number of poach, last lab or off came to africa with 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 vulnerable people on the edge of famine. and to love stabilize global food prices, which would already at record levels even before the war. a total nightmare for developing count and with the west, realizing that russia to blame for everything car didn't help. it used a very unexpected joker. c, a. 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 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 also making the journey off the french president. you add them back to you when they had of the us agency for international development. and i say it's like when you call was played out in africa with rival trying to get in. 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. ready for an alternate id from africa? a norwegian on way to russia is in hot water. after being caught on camera, i think she hates russians and demanding better treatment as a scandinavian. the incident took place when counsel elizabeth ellison wasn't happy with how far hotel room had been cleaned off. staying in the northern city of merman easy navia.

no human, fully like these western valleys 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're now investigating the incident which could amount to a hate speech crime. r t reached out to oslo for comment, and norway's foreign ministry responded with an apology for the consoles remark, saying it does not share her views. the minister of foreign affairs deeply grabs the incident. the sentiments expressed in no way 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 decent told us that the

counselor's actions are reflection of widespread western root. the phobia definitely a lot of have a statement. this might not stranger to being in the way the hotel stuff is obviously something or a different, very respectable comments. you have well embarrass and also disgraced our country and normally on one hand it doesn't represent the 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 across the west. i mean, i've argued myself for many years smell horrible things set about russians. you can't say it 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. 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 binding ministration 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 the 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 name 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 you asked 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 biden administration. and that, that manager mich fire sign says it's impossible to look for a solution from the same people responsible for the current crisis. janet yellow and 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 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 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 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. for me and she's been consistently, she's been saying, inflation is transitory. inflation is transit for winter 6 months ago. so why would you believe people that are consistently wrong? the problem, we're going to the scene people to create a default 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 u. s. wikipedia reportedly edited. it's to fight definition of recession more than 40 times in less than 24 hours. the website later, temporarily band 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 its ongoing events. u. s. g 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 country's economic problems as sky high inflation in a declining economy, affect family budgets. breezy says, is a delusion, whether it be about their recession, for gas prices, he pushes everything on the proven in the war and ukraine, like every session here in the economy, the gas was super high. now going down low on the food is expensive, we can get brandy, everything's awfully young and i mean and, and when the cost of living is cost is higher at the disagree with his view that there is no recession. i think that that's just a good talking point in sales. well, it's good for, for politics. but how that really lands on everyday people who are responsible for

purchasing eggs and milk that was the weekly as well as the latest headline news. thanks for watching for more content follow up on instagram and twitter and check out rumble and odyssey for more videos. season. ah, ah ah 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 on offense. very dramatic or development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with

ah, yes, absolutely. well, with the hood that we're just waiting for within a week, which is much harold lanier. i mean what is material that was supposed to been left recently? so be example, graham, it was some live will be well enough to fill that up. it's nice to meet. ok, so let's hope monday about let's go with why it was awesome. you get any. can you move home? yeah, i'm still place you at that. he's a sure just

a little community. a little is up here at the block which can you with that was a point if with ah, the.
