the out of the police headquarters for the attack was carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle. there were no deaths, but 6 people were hurtful to staff members sustained moderate wounds. the rest have already been treated for light injuries. for security reasons to days planned, if all the christies inside estoppel have been cancelled or however there is no cause for panic and our law enforcement agencies have already been mobilized, as opposed to the attack took place amid annual navy day celebrations with crimea governor saying they've now put, they've now been put on hold in the city. locals have been asked to stay in doors as authorities assess the potential for few further attacks. a moderate terrorist threat has been declared in the city to facilitate the increased activity rushes security services. meanwhile rushes defense ministry has released footage of its latest attack on a ukrainian field base inside the danielle peoples republic, up to 50 ukranian 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, this on verified video apparently shows multiple explosions. overdone, yest, local officials say ukraine's forces have fired nearly 500 different shelves at the city on saturday alone, leaving one person dead and 9 others wounded. a number of the ukrainian shells were filled with fanned anti personnel. mice which have now been litter across the city of dun yeske. russian lead sappers are now busy defusing the explosives which are small in size and could even be mistaken for toys by children. artes roman culture have 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 very loud explosions in donors cancel at least 11 pm on saturday evening and out over the last few days, ukraine had 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 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 boss to evacuate from territories that are currently under re 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 don boss refuse, must provide a written statement, rushes invited investigators from 2 international organizations for a pro been to keowee, the legend shelling of

a detention facility in the danielle people's republic where 50 ukranian prisoners of war were killed. all sco says ukraine carried out the attack on the site located in the town of you, lynn of cra, but key of blames rushes forces a warning you may find the following images a bit disturbing. united nations and the red cross have been invited to probe fridays. shelling of the detention center with russia says was carried out with a us supplied hi mars rocket artillery system. dozens of p, o w 's remain in the hospital following the attack. moscow was called the shelling of a, a, a direct provocation by key of made possible by washington adding that ukraine has subsequently tried to cover up its role in an apparent war. crime carried out to intimidate its own fighters. earlier i interviewed canadian journalist eva 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 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 cranium presents for medical treatment. no matter, you know, in spite of the fact that these are 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 war crime committed by ukraine went 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 see many videos being shared on social media on telegram, etc, of ukrainian troops saying like we don't have support from 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 were not equipped to fight, were being sent to are 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 and russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe, they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, there, 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 them 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, the 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 similar parades, went on across the major port cities in russia and even beyond russia's fleet. and the syrian port city of tortoise also joined in the celebrations and in the

ukrainian port city of bill johns, which is currently under the control of russian lead forces, celebrations, proceeded after years of being restricted by ukraine navy day is not only about the ships and sailors, but also about coastal defense ship builders, maintenance and other service. among the many, the many participating dignitaries was president putin who also unveiled russia's new naval doctrine. the document sets the main threat to russia's national security in the world ocean as the u. s. as course towards dominance and the growth of nato activity. here's how vladimir putin laid out moscow's maritime goals. we upgrade above mentioned in good, i need the we have openly marked the boundaries and areas of russia's national interests, both economic and vital strategic ones. at the most. first of all, these are our arctic waters, the waters of the black sea, but a host sc. see, bearing sea, also the baltic and coral straits you and we will protect them firmly by all means

. the key here is the capabilities of the navy, and that 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 or a young american. we got reaction to the newly signed doctrine from air martial, m motus, warren, and indian air force veteran and the head of the peninsula foundation thinktank. he says the document signals that russia and tends to formerly protect its interests. it's a very important signal because it actually signals that rochelle, willing to predicted interest anywhere across the globe and sillier than important allay of russia and that, but that's the message i think i would bring across. and the process, this is

a really process solve in the changing world order and therefore does not want to happen overnight. but in the process, probably, i would say it'll happen over the next decade and more and, and in that process, i would see you as, as being the most powerful in all of your political power in the world at the moment. we'll see, i expect it will see light on the day and we'll come to terms that the global governance will be a multiple, a system with shared responsibilities and shared commitments to mobile government. if you really compare what happened to be, so it didn't eliminate relapse and the russian foundation love succeeded her to go into place. and if you look at what happened with the 19th and early 2000 and. ready it's a lot of people who looked forward to why will not that i should bar that and i share the bar back again. modest form or any specific infrastructure with

respect to rachelle the country, but more importantly for the global good and a balance of power system to be in the world. so in that context, i think her and i shall crossed. ah, it is to revive, re emerged the great bar. it also has puddled bricks, india, russia, china will play a major role in getting the world to a stable. and a more, you know, was balanced, more rationalized global governance system, i would say, or the next 1020 years. this would materialize. and what i hope, and in that count a country is the building of old provisional strength. the street is an extremely so his name is extremely important. and that we go to asia where u. s. house. speaker nancy pelosi is plane, has reportedly landed on one of the islands in the pacific ocean. the precise

location of the aircraft is currently unclear as online tracking of the flight has been disabled earlier, china warned against policies trip to taipei and promised serious consequences if the visit goes ahead. our corresponding 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. 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 ford 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 return 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 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 o 2, don't. this is blasphemy and an infringement of the principles and purposes of the un charter as her what the people in 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 us. otherwise, china will soon have us for lunch with of 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 a 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. and now to some of the stories that shaped the weak russia's foreign minister conducted a trip to 4 african countries and received warm welcomes there as to spy 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. who are stance on the russia? ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since its breakout. we never wanted to how with the wolves as to the fire with sergei 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 the congo and rwanda. washington announced the new trip for august just 2 days after labor all wrapped up his visit. ortiz, mary phenomena covered the tour, aging, 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 playing land that 4 times in the 4 days and for a different reagan country than everywhere. russian. 7 diploma wasn't said that as a high leverage back to get as a brand in ethiopia, 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 coven 19 outbreak made a notable exception for love rav he had nothing on his mouth but a smile. in congo. the hogs at smiles and jokes that greeted laval were 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 a, how can you begin to somebody who was never harmed us? the venues for labrems 3 were picked carefully and wisely. in a gander, he was greeted by a veteran african ruler and opinion leader. while in congo it was the turn of a regional in france or at the country's hound since $979.00 and then on to cairo. and ad is ab about the headquarters of too powerful regional bodies, the arab league, and the african union. both said they had failed pressure from the west ahead of the v, but i am 40 right now. these instincts have colonialism emerge and 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 should, you must, you must think i wanted you. 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 him maintain, 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 blaine in russia, by blockading ukraine's green exports and restricting the trade of russia's own fertilizer. reuben's 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 did the, with the stove, russian ships for all coding on a 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 to love stabilize 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. now see if 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 as 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 that, 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 weighing out in africa with rival trying to get in. well, yes. and now however, while others had just woken up, did the app, we got as a partner, russia and real friend has always been here. very good, awesome patty. from africa. raining authorities say they busted aspiring,

with connections to israeli intelligence, 5 people have been reported reportedly arrested and are now under investigation. here's what iranian security officials have said to the local media about the case . the arrested 5 members of this spy network were given various pledges from israel's mossad, including financial promises in exchange for gathering information from important areas across the country. this comes just days after iran's intelligence ministry announced the arrest of a network of his railey agents allegedly detained before they could carry out sabotaged. and terrorist operations within a ran is really officials have declined to comment on these accusations. relations between the 2 countries have been heating up as tel aviv has long opposed to ron's nuclear research. israel sees the program as a delaying tactic, which could eventually lead to iran developing nuclear weapons. however, islamic republic maintains that it only wants to use nuclear technology for

peaceful purposes. but to get more on this, we're going across live now to to ron based foreign policy analysts say at most offa akash. hm, thanks for joining us on the program. sir. thanks for having me. now, raining authorities say that the suspects were trying to conduct attacks on some sensitive areas, including iranian nuclear facilities. what do you make of these allegations? you know the case with the israel, the terrorist attack sabotaged attacks if you know it has a long history of for at least one decade or so. or even longer than that. you have a fascinated multiple iranian nuclear scientists with dr factories other being the last one. and of course, there is a very complicated issue in here why the israeli is have in hand their terrorist

attacks and efforts to infiltrate iran and to baseball and attacks at uranium facilities. very recently, they have shift that thereafter, especially would result with fascination to other areas of your power components like them. if island is free, as well as you was regional power, they have been trying to target of characters or, or people individuals who are very influential in the area as well. according to reports, there have been 2 reports about these recent various groups that have been arrested by uranian officials saying that one report says that they meant to age a bomb attack at nuclear facility and it's behind the other one says that also they meant to conduct an attack at the military base in iran, the capital will of course, widely believes that israel itself has

a nuclear program, although televi has neither confirmed nor denied that. so why do you think israel's so concerned about the iranian nuclear program? well, you know, basically they are not worried about your was nuclear program. iran has been under the largest number of men hours of inspections by d before the j. c, p o, a and after the j. c. and they have never, ever found a sure evidence if they really, i mean the united states. and he's really, if they really cared about iran's nuclear drive, then they would have talked to the nuclear deal since it provided them with the harshest ever regime of inspections imposed on any nation under the j. c. p. o. a. but what they want is containing iran's power, it's not just a nuclear industry, they want to continue roz mess island, this re regional power, drone technology, laser technology, and so on and so forth. americans have been working out on

a containment formula that relies very much and sanctions and pose incredible military threat. but after iran shut down the global hawk couple of years ago and he rain in mid size rain down on a notice that the u. s. military threats lost credibility, so because they are involved with other high priority is like really blowing to the south china sea to slow down chinese economy. and also because they are involved with the war in ukraine against russia, then are they cannot fight all these wars along all at the same time. so they did, they don't want to leave west asia or the middle east region to iran. so they've been using israel to slow down iran's regional growth rate through terrorist attack sabotage effects. a main other reason is that they, when they lost their military threats,

lost credibility. they are trying to use israel with assassin is assassination sabotage attacks as well as cyber attacks and so on, so forth. in order to, you know, keep up stress, not the military, but security threats alive and pressure to wrong into giving in to their demands in the vietnam talks. well, of course iran is not been effective, iran has done reciprocal action in all these cases, including when the assassinated. but the fact result according to is really media, not the iranian officials, the top of military official of israel. they called him the r israel's, the father of israel's aerospace program. abby har even was killed in the occupied territories, according to the israel lease. he has experienced a painful death at.
