but 6 people were hurt to staff members sustained moderate wounds. the rest have already been treated for light, injuries for security reasons to days planned public festivities in self estoppel have been cancelled or however there is no cause for panic and our law enforcement agencies have already been mobilized. suppose the attack took place amid annual navy day celebrations with crimea, as governor saying they've now been put on hold and the city locals have been asked to stay indoors as authorities assess the potential of further attacks. a moderate terrorist threat level has been declared in the city to facilitate the increased activity of russia's security services. meanwhile, russia's defense ministry has released footage of its latest attack on the ukrainian field base inside the danielle people's republic, up to 50 ukrainian servicemen to howitzers and 10 other units of military equipment are said to have been hit by russian missiles. this comes after residential areas

inside the city of daniel came under fresh shelling by ukraine's forces. some locals have posted new footage of the overnight attacks. ah. these and verified fixtures apparently show multiple explosions. overdone, yeske and local officials say ukraine's forces fired nearly 500 different shells at the city. on saturday alone, leaving one person dead and 9 others wounded. ah, some of the ukrainian shells were filled with band anti personnel. mice which have now been littered across sonya city. russia, lead sappers are now busy defusing the explosives which are small in size and could even be mistaken for toys by children. artes romani culture of reports from the ground. we have experience yet another terrifying evening here in the next ukraine continues shelling civilian areas here. we've been hearing her very loud explosions

in donna's cancel at least 11 pm on saturday evening. now over the last few days, ukraine had changed their tactics and began covering the city with the so called battle 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 secretary of a civilian area. now those are mines that are armed and once they land on the ground, the look like butterflies to an on friend i. 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 done boss. now, local authorities have warned all citizens to be vigilant and report anything that they might find near their 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 refuse must provide a written statement, russia is invited investigators from 2 international organizations to probe cubes, a legit shelling of a detention facility, and daniel were 50 ukrainian prisoners of war were killed. moscow says ukraine

carried out the attack on the site in the town of ulan of car, while kia blames russian forces a warning you might find the following images disturbing. the united nations and the red cross have been invited to probe friday's showing of the detention center, which russia says was carried out with a u. s. supplied high mars rocket artillery system. dozens of p, o w's remain in hospital after the attack. moscow has called the shelling a direct provocation by kia, backed by washington, adding that ukraine has subsequently tried to cover up its role in the quote war crime carried out to intimidate its own fighters. earlier we interviewed canadian journalist 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 for 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 it's inflicted there of potentially mortal injuries on them. here's a perfect example of an out of network crime committed by ukraine went western weapon reach 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 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 in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. were

being deserted, were being sent out to the front lines who are not equipped to fight were being sent to death. so i would say their morale was probably already quite low. but i mean, this is just the next blow. i mean, they, even, they were again, ironically in safe hands in russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe . they were being fed, et cetera. but none the less, 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 had in syria terrorist whether there are al qaeda for syria, army, isis, et cetera. intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering. but from crossing from terrorist held areas into syrian government areas 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 being

played out in ukraine. the sunday marks navy day in russia national celebration honoring sailors and their ships. countrywide, the main parade took place in saint petersburg featuring a flotilla of the navy's finest vessels. here are some of the highlights for a similar parades went on across the major port cities in russia and even beyond. russia's fleet in the syrian city of tortoise also joined the celebrations and in the ukrainian port city of bare johns. where as it's currently under the control of

russian lead forces, celebrations also proceeded after years of being restricted by ukraine. navy day is not only about the ships and sailors, but also coastal defense, shipbuilders, maintenance, and other services. among the many participating dignitaries was president putin who signed russia's new naval doctrine. the document sets the main threat to russian national security in the world ocean as the u. s. as course towards dominance and the growth of nato activity, and also prioritize the construction of aircraft carriers. here's how vladimir putin laid out russia's maritime priority upgrade. above mentioned, a guy needs the we have openly marked the boundaries and areas of russia's national interest, both economic and vital strategic ones as on the 1st of all, these are our arctic waters, the waters of the black sea, but a hope see you bearing sea also the baltic and quarrels straits you and we will

protect them firmly by all means. the key here is the capabilities of the navy, and it is able to respond immediately to any one who decides to encroach on our sovereignty and freedom. our navy successfully and honor fully carries our strategic missions on the frontiers of our country and in any parts of the world's oceans, are a union mishawaka. we got reaction to the newly signs doctrine from an air marshal of the indian air force, and he's also a veteran and the head of the peninsula foundation. he believes the document signals that russia and tends to protect its interests. it's a very important signal because it actually signals the brush sho, willing to predict the interest anyway low on the bottom layer. and that's that's, that's the message. i think i wouldn't rina growth in the process. this is really the process of the changing order and therefore does not want to happen

overnight. the process probably, i would say it will happen over the next, the gate and more. and in that process, i will see you as being the most powerful bob in the world at the moment. we'll see i expected to see you later in the day, and we'll come to that. the global governance will be a multiple, a system that share responsibilities. and share commitments to move and government if you really compare what happened to the so it's good in it. and that i shouldn't love seat and the bullet in place. and if you look at what happened with that might be in the early 2000 and. ready the lot of people who look forward to live with that action by the way, back again, not just for any specific interest,

but they do show that family but more marketing for the global and the balance of power system to be in the world. so in that context, i think and i showed crossed revive lee and most of the great bob. as part of brings india i showed china will play a major role in getting the table and the balanced mode, rationalized local governance system i would say, or the next 20 years of my life. and what i find in that something country is recovering its own traditional strength and staples extremely. so this navy may livingston bottom and that copies go to asia now where us, how speaker nancy pelosi is on tor, while it's still unclear whether she will proceed with her plan, visit to taiwan. china's warned against the trip to ty, pay,

and promised serious consequences if the visit goes ahead are corresponding rachel blevins is on 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. 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 c 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 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 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 or was 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. ot 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 regent. 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 us. otherwise china will soon have us for lunch with him all now in polos, his 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 of chinese people as well as the american people. this whole epis 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. and now to some of the stories that shaped the weak russia's foreign minister conducted a trip to 4 african countries and received a warm welcomes there. that's despite 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 youth in we have good relations with russia. all countries of africa have sovereignty and

are free to choose their own policies. who are stance on the russia? ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since its breakout. we never wanted to how with the wolves as fuel to the fire sergey lab, rob's visits were deemed such a success that the u. s. secretary of state is now also set to travel to south africa. the democratic republic of congo and, or wanda washington, announced the new august trips just 2 days after lab rav wrapped up his visit. ortiz maria financial, covered, his tour agent, 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 2 of the african continent with a bang airplane land that 4 times in 4 days ain't for a different african country than everywhere. russia. 7 diploma wasn't that as

a high res, back the dad as a brand in if he all pierre, they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect, man, everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without a mask since the cove at 19 outbreak made a notable exception for love rob. he had nothing on his mouth but a smile in congo. the hogs at 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 with

this is, how can you have been a somewhat, it was never, how does the venues philosopher of 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, an 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 approached, woke rose, i should, you must, you must think i wanted you. when you think of my many job used to be for some wood, i'm throw away, should 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. boots 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 wheel,

the west has 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 vulnerable people on the edge of famine and tulips fabulous global food prices, which would already at record levels even before the war. a total nightmare for developing countries. and with the west, realizing that russia to blame for everything car didn't help. it used a very unexpected joker. no, he didn't, didn't. yeah. 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 test. and as an endless base for free natural resources. the russian foreign minister is not the only one to re nafrica the they also making the journey on the french rather than you asked them back to their did you when they had of the u. s. agency for international development. and i say it's my can, you call was playing 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 them. id from africa and our region envoy to russia is in hot water after being caught on camera, saying she hates russian and demanding better treatment as

a scandinavian. the incident took place one console. elizabeth ellison wasn't happy with how her hotel room had been cleaned. while staying in the northern city of movements easy, navia who made elective western valleys are becoming more and more impressive. the representative of a foreign stay did not hold back and 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. rti reached out to oslo for comment, 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 later christine said in 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 southeastern norway. professor glen decent, told us that the consuls actions are a reflection of widespread western. russo phobia that really a lot of hate in this state this i'm, i'm a 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 we just nate or people on the other hand it makes i guess so why the rest phobia in this country across the west? i mean, i've argued myself for many years now that the horrible things set about brushes. 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. thanks for watching the weekly on rti international stick around because we'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes . the news, the news ah, it's update on you being a little dominant but they did

a valuable mm hm. mapping my middle now i own my hit up my laptop that has a new knuckle but my love bob, he didnt thought no along outfit a bit a well, i mean happy correlations. corbett, young donia, not in a church's goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world in which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere, and to markets, and to labor had 2 resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of

conflict. the interest with john chil, installing of an impending attack on the u. s. s. huh. in the face of great danger, he seeks an alliance with russia. stalling doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. with at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia. suddenly, without deck in the war, login algae made them. the german bomb rain down from the sky above the russian. that is,

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 a speech in december of 41 and the senate is as if the russians are where they wish to report the germans at the germans. or 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 stolen of japan's intention to attack the soviet union. but soviet intelligence report, state the via tank is still in doubt. it's imperative that the u. s. makes it clear to japan that if they attack.
