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 instead of estoppel have been cancelled or however there is no cause for panic. and our law enforcement agencies have already been mobilized. wasn't the attack took place amid annual navy day celebrations with crimea governor saying they've now been put on hold and the city locals have been asked to stay indoors as authorities assess the potential a few future attacks. moderate terrorist threat level has been declared in the city to facilitate the increased activity of russian security services. meanwhile, russia's defense ministry has released footage of its latest attack on an ucr, on ukrainian field base inside the daniel people's 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 no footage of the overnight attacks. ah, this unverified video apparently shows multiple explosions over done yet. local officials say ukraine's forces fired nearly 500 different shells on the city, on saturday alone, even one person dead and 9 others wounded. ah, some of the ukrainian shells were filled with band anti personnel mines, which have now been littered across the city of done yet. russian led sappers are now busy defusing the explosives, which are small in size and could even be mistaken for toys by children artes roman culture of reports from the ground there ah, sappers off the nest peoples a republic have a very busy day to day on a sunday,

as hundreds of little mines were dropped on the city in residential areas. right now, they're scouring this area in order to find and destroy those mines, so that the gone hurt any of the civilians. these little mines are all over the city of the nest. at the moment now they can explode at any time. now, they're designed to mame and not to kill. of course, they can cause a death of a person, but so these minds are everywhere. internet's at the moment, they see if you can point the camera this way, a local residence, they're pointing out that there are mines here to make sure that sir, no civilians approach them now. but once they're dropped, they can explode at any point with any moment within 40 hours and right now, engineers are sappers are working all over the city to try and make sure

that all of these mines are destroyed. ukraine continues. shilling civil in areas of the nest right now as i speak. they may look very small, but they're a very deadly to young children. they may even look like toys. so once they approached the may pick them up, the result will be either death or the could become disabled for life. should i reach her? i'm near to the warning i live near by. so i heard the explosions last night. i almost confused it with fireworks, but then i looked at the window and saw the pedal mines were used to all of this. so i just went to work as usual, this opportunity mind part of the streets. so the people can move about the ukrainians. want to eliminate us, the people, but we're strong. they don't want us here, but we won't leave. we are patriots what? no one will be able to put down. it's gone. it's nice. jim knuckling it than you

think when you're playing hell from russia. here in the nest has been instrumental in the last few days, especially when ukraine began bombing this city and covering the inside area with those a that's all minds. as you can see, a russian engineers well russian engineer core are here working to try and make sure that no civilians are hurt in this. well, you can only call it a terrorist attack against civilians already. one person was hurt by these petal mines grew on call, sir, have ard see the nest people's republic rushes invited investigators from 2 international organizations for a pro been to keep the legit shelling of a detention facility in the danielle people's republic were 15 or 50 rather ukrainian prisoners of war were killed. moscow says ukraine carried out the attack on the site located in the town of union of co,

while key of blames russian forces. a warning you may find the following images disturbing. the united nations and the red cross have been invited to probe friday's shelling of the detention center, which russia says was carried out with a u. s. supplied hi, maurice rocket artillery system doesn't appeal w's remain in the hospital after the attack. moscow called the shelling a direct provocation by key of made possible by american weapons, adding that ukraine has subsequently tried to cover up its role in apparent war cry, carried out to intimidate its own truth. earlier i interviewed canadian journalist, david bartlett, who was also at the c 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 i 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,

did 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 you and the combatants, and it is ukraine that is caused that is inflicted, there are potentially mortal injuries on them. here's a perfect example of an out war crime committed by ukraine. wet 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 in 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 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 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 and russian imprisonment because they were being kept safe . they were being fed, et cetera. but nonetheless, 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 they were al qaeda for an army, isis, etc. intimidating civilians from it wouldn't be the same as surrendering. but from crossing from terrorist held areas into steering 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 and syria being played out in ukraine. ah, the sunday marks navy day in russia,

a national celebration honoring sailors and their ships worldwide. 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 major ports, cities in russia, and even beyond. russia's fleet in the syrian city of tartarus also joined the celebrations and in the ukrainian port city of bear, johns, which is currently under the control of russian lead forces, celebrations, proceeded there. after years of being restricted by ukraine,

navy de is not only about the ships and sailors, but also about coastal defense ship builders, maintenance, and other service. among the many participating dignitaries was president couldn't who also unveiled russia's new naval doctrine. the document sets the main threat to national, to the national security of russia and the world ocean. as the u. s. is of course, towards dominant. the growth of nato activity yourself. a lot of me are laid out my maritime goals. let me upgrade you to get i need. we have openly marked the boundaries and areas of brushes, national interest, both economic and vital strategic ones. at 1st of all, these are our arctic waters, the waters of the black sea, but hope see you bearing sea. also the baltic and quarrels trades through and we will protect them firmly by all means. the key here is the capabilities of the navy . it is able to respond immediately to anyone who decides to encroach on our

sovereignty and freedom. our navy successfully and honor fully carries our strategic mission on the frontiers of our country and in any parts of the world's oceans. are you and your men. we got reaction to the newly sign doctrine from air marshal m moffatt war and an indian air force veteran and the head of the peninsula foundation. think tank. he says the document signals that russia and tends to firmly protect its interests. it's a very important signal because it actually signals the russia willing to predict the interest anyway because the low on the bottom i lay a fresh and the semester, i think i would bring the calls in the process. this is really the process of changing the 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, but shed responsibilities. and shared commitments to mobile government, if you really compare what happened to the so it didn't in a lapse and the russian federation. but the bullet, it's place. and if you look at what happened with that might be in the early 2000 and. ready with a lot of people who looked forward to live and that i should share the back again, mom just for any specific interest with respect to the family, but more importantly for the global and the balance of power system to be in the

world. so in that context, i think and i show the cost, it's revive lee and most of the great part of india, china will play a major role in getting the word table. and the more balanced mode, rationalized global governance system i would say, or the next 20 years that would make their life. and this is what i hope that something country in the recovering and, you know, traditional strength, them great, staples and extremely so this navy navy can lead to asia. now where u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi is plane is reportedly heading toward singapore. the precise location of the aircraft is being tracked on the flight radar. $24.00 website and earlier china warned against pillows he's playing trip to taiwan promising, serious consequences if the visit goes ahead are corresponded. rachel blevins has

more 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. 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 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 flows 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 to 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 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. an recently a representative raised the issue with the un calling for the nation sovereignty to be respected. more dog or certain countries have repeatedly emphasized the principle of sovereignty over the issue of ukraine. but they have incessantly challenged china's sovereignty under 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 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 li, proposed a visit to taiwan by nancy pelosi will really blow up the china us relations and inflict huge detriments to bo put 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 versus foreign minister. sergei. lab rav conducted a trip to 4 african countries this week can received, warm, welcomes, everywhere. 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 with . 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 break out. we never wanted to how

with the wolves as 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 rwanda. washington announced to this new trip for august, just 2 days after lab rav wrapped up his visits. ortiz, maria finacialow, covered that tor 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 wasn't that as a high res, back the dad. as a brand in ethiopia,

they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect, an everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without a mask since they called at 19 outbreak, made a notable exception for love rav he had nothing on his mouth but a smile in congo. the smiles and jokes that greeted la world were more representative of an old pals reunion rather than formal diplomacy, a, in each country. they also, at 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. ready years, how can we be, what much could it again, this is a how can you have been going to somebody who was never hom does. the venues for la

grove's tree 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 inf lancer, at the country's hound since 1979 and then on to cairo. an 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 visit. but i'm 40 right now. these instincts of 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 said, you must be much younger. i wanted you. why do you think my men job is to be pro some would i am through i should've in fear of provocation african union ambassadors asked for a meeting in russia's embassy while the arab league was less intimidated. although

asked by western diplomats not to be pictured with lab rob in protest at russia's actions in ukraine, they gave a rather clear response. the west with his sanctions and condemnation basically pushed russia closer towards asia and africa. but as soon as it realised they could backfire, they tried to fix the situation by blame in russia, by blockading ukraine's grain exports, and restricting the trade of russia's own fertilizer. boons 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 social one good. on the, on the wis cause stop 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 tulip stabilized global food prices, which would already be 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. now see, you 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 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 to re nafrica the they also making the journey off the french president, but you add them back to their did you when they had of the us agency more international development. and i say it's like when 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 for, from africa. jo biden's administration is refusing to admit that the u. s. economy is now and recession despite the latest statistical data showing the countries g. d, p, declining, for a 2nd consecutive quarter. some americans are now asking why they should keep

helping ukraine when the taxpayers dollars should be spent on the home front. why should americans care about this? we have our own problems. why should the british care about it? we do step in, we, we send drain food, we take out war, lord, i mean, you guys do too, but america is mostly a force for good in the entire world and our country is crumbling right now. u. s. gdp fell 0.9 percent. the next in the 2nd quarter, according to an estimate from the bureau of economic analysis. this fall as a 1.6 percent decline in the 1st quarter of this year that says the countries inflation rate reaches 6.8 percent. meanwhile, joe biden and his staffers are blaming russia for the economic downturn in the states. we have some locals in texas. what they thought about all that. briefly he says is a delusion. whether it be about the recession or gas prices, he pushes everything on the proof from the war and ukraine, like he's res,

every session here in the economy, the gas was super high. it's not going down low on the food is expensive, we can't get brandy and everything i mean in 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. earlier this week, the wikipedia page for recession was reportedly edited more than 40 times and less than 24 hours. the website temporarily blocked changes to the page and warned that the current information may be unreliable due to ongoing events, vestment manager, mich fair steen says it's impossible to expect an economic solution from the same people who are responsible for the crisis in the 1st place. jenny, ellen has been consistently wrong when she was the chairman of the fed and she was

on the board of the fed. now as a treasury secretary, the root causes of the problem are too much debt, too much credit to much leverage in too much money printing for 2 decades now it's coming bite them. i think the recession started long before this g, d, p. net negative g d p for so, you know, if they wanna put lipstick on a pig, it's never going to turn into a super model. 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, 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 junk bonds that have to be refinanced. so you will see a massive amount of defaults and bankruptcies that will cause the coming crisis. you know, she said, i think 2 years ago or 3 years ago will never see another crisis in a lifetime, right before me, she's been consistently what she's been saying, inflation is transitory. inflation is transit for 6 months ago. so why would you believe people that are consistently wrong? the problem is we're going to the same people who created the problems for a solution and they have no solution and we have no leadership. thanks a lot for watching the weekly here on our to international stick around for more in just about 30 minutes with

ah ah ah ah ah ah a ah ah .
