some of the ukrainian shells were filled with fanned anti personnel mines, which have now been littered across the city of barnett's russian lead sappers are now busy defusing the explosives, which are small in size and could even be mistaken for toys by children. ortiz, from one culture of reports from the ground there sappers off the nest people's republic have a very busy day to day on a sunday, as hundreds of little minds 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, so 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 are 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 showing 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 them yet as a warning? i live nearby, 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, the sappers d 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 its con, it's nice to, i'm looking at than just looking at this thing. help from russia. here in then, as has been instrumental in the last few days, especially when ukraine began bombing this city and covering the entire area with those 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 in a terrorist attack against civilians already. one person was hurt by these betsel

mines. rwanda also have ard t, the nest people's republic. now we go back to our breaking news story, air raid sirens and clashes have been reported in the kosovo city of metro visa, near a border crossing with serbia. for more we're going to go now to belgrade based political analyst, alexander povich, alexander profits, thanks for joining us on the program. so what's the latest you're hearing from where you are? well the latest is just, you know, the president of serbia that you know at, at midnight costs. so security. busy forces of so called costs are going to start stopping people from crossing into from serbia proper into all the costs of all providence, which serbia still considers its own. it doesn't recognize its independence and that they're going to make them, you know, whoever has papers a republic of serbia,

papers id papers for license plate, they're going to make them change them to temper either temporary to temporary id and also to take up a temporary license plate and also for the service for living in northern cost of all you know, they're going to give them 2 months to she was changed life place to have official so called fossil white plates. you know, i'm servicing north. don't want to be part of so it's priced and it may, it was the best buy. oh my god. oh, debbie's presence last and so you know, at that time this was late june. our president of the plan will

ask for that at because of those security forces would start and then cleansing campaign of the serbs in in northern castillo. so it's a tense situation. we had a similar situation a year ago where the authorities of the so called cost of attempted a similar thing regarding license plates. and they actually did send us special forces a bad time into the northern part of coastal, which is majority serbs. and then the people and so i sure, yeah i, you know,

we are i, well, you know, there's a lot of speculation in the media, the cost of our military may, sorry, actually as we're actually running out of time here and also the connections a bit bad but we're going to, we're going to see if we can come back to the story a bit later. alexander poverty belgrade bass political analyst. thanks for joining us in the program. the russians invited investigators from 2 international organizations for a probe and to keep the legit shelling of a detention facility in the done yes. people's republic where 50 ukrainian prisoners of war were killed. all scout says ukraine carried out the attack on the site located in the town of you land of car, which blames russia while kia blames russian forces warning. you may find the following. images disturbing. 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 marcy rocket artillery system. dozens of p,

o w's remain in the hospital. after the attack. oscar was called the shelling a direct provocation by key of made possible by american weapons, adding that ukraine has subsequently tried to cover up it's role in an apparent war . crime carried out to intimidate its own troops. earlier i interviewed canadian at journalist they were bartlett who was at that scene. this is clearly an intentional strike on this facility. i'm and it's notable by the way, i went to the a hospital that was treating some of the injured after going to this prison. and although we weren't able to go inside to see the prisoners, they were in critical condition. a doctor did come out and give a statement. and he said that the prisoners are in critical condition and they are undergoing surgeries, they're being given the medicine and the care that they need. and now i just want to point out the irony that russia is giving ukrainian presents of, or medical treatment. no matter, you know, in spite of the fact that these are you and the combatants,

and it is ukraine that is caused, that is for inflicting. there are potentially mortal i entries 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 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 in some cases were being fired upon by our own army. were being deserted, are being sent out to the front lines who are not equipped to fight our being sent to our death at so i would say their morale was probably already quite low. but i mean, this is just the next blow, i mean a day 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'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 a 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 steering government areas intimidating down by threats that the government with 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 are going to go back to our breaking news story now in the balkans between kosovo and serbia. we're going to go cross to our guest who we lost connection with just a little bit ago. alexander hobbit, she's based in belgrade. he's a political analyst either again, alexander. so i just wanted to continue our discussion. i wanted to ask you about

the speculation in the media that kosovo military may attack serbia within several hours. what do you think about that? well, they're not going to attack serbia. what they might do is that they might attack to serbs in the, in the north of coastal, which of course, it is officially part of serbia. so they're not going to attack serbia proper. but they might attack the serbs in northern part of course of all and they did this last year. so it wouldn't, it wouldn't be something that wasn't done previously. last temporary kind of agreement. you know, they had that you gave him time to come up with a permanent agreement, but it hasn't happened. so, you know, something's going to start happening starting at noon. i mean, at midnight, probably they may what they may do. the. so 1st of all, believe it might start, start stopping all from coming in from serbia proper into cost of all and make them

take temporary license plate temporary ideas, you know. so you know, and it's incidents might start happening. and you know, that's what the serbian president is concerned about, especially because the west is not doing a thing to pressure the cost of authorities to, to back down to our respect previously signed agreements. and, you know, this is a very similar problem q. what was happening in ukraine for 8 years with the mince agreements. you know, we had a, you all european powers are brokering a peace agreement which and then they didn't press one of the sites to him. you know, and you praying that impressed ukrainian side. and here are they having press the up also aside to implement an agreement that was actually pro for baby you best way we have it. what do you,

what kind of response do you think we can expect from other countries after what's going on right now? well you know, the thing is we'll see how the serbia respond. serbia can't allow for the serbs in northern cost of to be in our to be abused again, physically or otherwise by the so called cost of security forces are the, wes probably won't do much. you know, the thing is ever since the ukrainian conflicts started as serbia has been under great pressure from the western capital to impose sanctions on russia. you know, on serbia, along with breast cancer, to go in again this 3rd living there were the only countries here that having a whole sanctions in russia. we're surrounded by natal fund or are you

a nato? and so the work for very, very well, it, anything that restaurant, you know, you are gauge the russia. so, you know, i really sure here in belgrade that the west is actually using the cost of obedience to pressure or downgrade and just serves in general or alexander poverty belgrade based political analysts. thanks for joining us on the program for bringing and bringing us your insight. thanks for having me. sunday marx, navy day in russia, a 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 ah mm.

with similar parades went on across the major port cities in russia and even beyond russia's fleet, as the in the syrian city of tortoise also joined the celebrations and in the ukrainian port city of bear. johns, which is currently under the control of russian lead forces. and celebrations proceeded there. after years of being restricted by ukraine, maybe days, not only about the ships and the sailors, but also about coastal defense ship builders, maintenance and other service. among 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 dominant is and the growth of nato activity yourself

. vladimir putin laid out moscow's maritime goal, is to let you move. would you lose my upgrade? above mentioned a good, i need the we have openly marked the boundaries and areas of rushes, national interests, 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 coral 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 mission on the frontiers of our country and in any parts of the world's oceans are a union better. what can we got reaction to the newly signed doctrine from air marshal and motus warren and 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, the low on the bottom, i lay a fresh and semester i think i would read the calls in the process. and if you look at what happened with the might be the early 2000. ready ill lot of people who look forward to the why would look that i should share the back again, not just for any specific interest but the thing to share the family. but more importantly for the global button and a balance of power system to be in the india, china will play a major role in getting the word. ready table and the more balanced

mode, rationalized local governance system i would say, or the next 20 years that would make their life. and this is what i hope i'm in that context. something country is recovering and you know, traditional string them great staples and stimuli. so this may be made in the bottom that copies rushes, foreign minister survey lab, rob conducted a trip to 4 african countries this week and received warm welcomes everywhere at the spike 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. to our stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since its breakout. 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 the new trip for august, just 2 days after lab rav wrapped up his visit. ortiz maria phenomena covered his tor 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 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 diplomat was accepted as

a high leverage back the dead man. as a brand in ethiopia, they lay the floor with fresh green grass, a symbol of respect and everlasting friendship. in a gander, a leader not seen without a mask since they called at 19 outbreak, made a notable exception for la rav he had nothing on his mouth but a smile. in congo. the hogs smiled, and jokes and greeted lover 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 states. this report been with us for the last 100. ready yes, how can we be, what the money?

again, this is a how can you have been going to somebody who was never hom does. the venues for labrems 3 were picked carefully and wisely. a no gonna. he was greeted by a veteran african ruler and opinion leader. while in congo it was the turn of a regional influencer. at the country's hound since 1979 and then on to cairo. 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 should, you must, you must think i wanted you. why do you think my, my many job is to be pro somebody 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. 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. on the,

on the west was stopped russian ships for all coding on the number of ports, pla, slobber off, came to africa with the good news. a deal was reached to resume grain experts from the black sea. it will bring relief for developing countries on the edge of bankruptcy and the most formidable people on the edge of famine. and tulip stabilized global 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 president. you asked them back to their did you when they had of the us agency for international development. and i say it's like when you called 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. very good, awesome team from africa. and now it's time for an update on our breaking news story. air raid sirens and clashes had been reported in kosovo in the border town of metro such cova. so kosovo security forces have apparently blocked

a key border crossing with serbia and say that people with serbian id will no longer be allowed to pass. earlier serbia's president warned about an upcoming military operation by kosovo to sees a border crossing with serbia that would begin at midnight on sunday. in while the serbian defense ministry has rebutted reports that its forces have entered kosovo. ah, that's all for this hour. thanks watching the weekly on our team international and we hope you have a great day. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally

and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk with the 2nd world war affected millions of people during the conflict, the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations, the united kingdom, the united states, and the ussr that be dying. when they did that, the men tried. krista, peak, popish norman because hitler was weak and new healing wake. and he was bluffing. he was the major political figure. certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century when they wish to report the germans of the germans or

when we support the russians in that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. the redrawing of european board hasn't begun. britain and the united states, and then just really plan to attack the ussr of britain to survive. russia had to be sacrificed. he is as doctor to be likened to divest mr. boyd from us as the law firm. ricardo capital and metro.
