a year ago when the self proclaimed republic again moved to ban cars with serbian license plates and deployed forces on its northern border with serbia. back then, both sides managed to settled the dispute, kosovo unilaterally declared its independence in 2008. but many countries, including russia, china, spain, on serbia, do not recognize it. the spanish prime minister recently added that the self proclaimed declaration of kosovo. independence represents a violation of international law. well as cross now to r t journalists, the alina lynch, joining us from bel, great. hi, elena. so cost of all has decided to postpone, not abandon it's decision regarding entry documents for serbia, is not just whole thing. the unrest for a few weeks ticket through there is a very interesting thing happening right now because the, the decision has been made after the advice of american ambassador for castile
9:05 am
and actually dead been, has been delayed or postponed until the 1st of september. but what i'm hearing now from people that live on possible is that, that is working only on 2 borders, which are yet in your neck. these are the closest ones to where city and communities are causal because there are very few of them, you know, actually there are other administrative crossings that people, that obedient people would call borders that are actually working with these papers . we have seen these papers so actually, as they do not recognize to be an idea and do not recognize to be in a plate. they give you the document to cross what is administrative crossing actually. so it is quite the 10th still, although everyone that lived there say that they've been one of the most 10 nights ever since the self proclamation of the republic. but there is still
9:06 am
a long way to go, you know, because people also said barricades on these crossings and they're still lifting it . it's in the process, we expect that to happen any minute now, right? just the overall picture, then, you know, what does the situation tell us about the rights of serbs living in the territory of the self proclaimed state of causal? well, these people actually live in a ghettos. i've been there for a long time, and for a lot of times you know, my family's from there and i know how they leave. you know, it's very sad situation. you know, i see now that all the media talking about all these pressures, but these people have been actually suffering all these pressures and aggressions for a long time for years ever since the war and the bomb being ended, you know, they have a strong police presence for example, there is the town that i'm talking to you about, which is called the community that is divided into by a bridge. you know,
9:07 am
there is one side where a 1000000000 people live and the other side, the city and people, if so they have all these security forces. they're there to keep peace, you know, as much as they can because clashes are actually possible any, any moment. and as we heard from through the president, and that is something that has been repeating all the time is that we need to do everything to keep peace, no matter what. and to take it to another level, you know, the month that has been given by this delay or postponing these new measures is actually something that will give them time to negotiate in brussels. they have already been invited by european union officials to do that because tribune people do not have the rights that they need to have. you just mentioned the serbian president, there he is coal for peace but also said that serbia will not surrender. what do you read into those remarks?
9:08 am
well, in serbia you know that it's a, it's a weird thing because according to the international law, according to un security council, 12 of 44 actually he's part of serbia. so when he's been blamed that serbian forces entered, you know, he, he said something like, we did not attack our own country, you know. but he also called upon certain people not to fall for all these provocations. you know, because there is a strong, a will from washing done, you know, to, for new through him or for new war in balkans. and i think he, in this moment he really needs to keep people calm. but since you already lost a lot in that region and we don't, he's saying that we are not going to lose more. you know, these people live in these gator ghettos for more than 20 years. now.
9:09 am
i'm mobile to imagine how they live and shake and senses, you know, they're defending the last pieces of their land. they have their many countries we just mentioned before. talking to linda, including spain are not publicly stating that self declaration of possible independence was a violation of international law. were you surprised by such comments coming from europe or the sense in the region that those words would, would emerge from brussels? well, actually i don't see anything really change and you know, they did these countries that recognize also the do not change their opinion. there have been a lot of countries that recognize call from the beginning and then decided to change their decision. but europe has a sense on these, you know, i think it's dictated by washington. spain has its own problem, that the reason why they do not recognize cultural. and actually there has been this week situation yesterday because the spanish president was in to be when
9:10 am
everything was happening. so he decided to leave the country early, or he was supposed to go today, you know, but actually, i think that the whole thing that the international community, that's one of the things that to the president said yesterday that he need to remind again, all international community and all the countries that are supporting and that are recognized cost wise independent state to think about international law again. yeah, i should clearly stay there. brussels is not set that, as i stated, but madrid, of course, the, the international community, the, was quick to react. k for the nato peacekeeping force. it's already stated that it's ready to intervene in the case of instability. but how is such a statement perceived in belgrade given the alliance, is history of intervention in the country?
9:11 am
well, unfortunately, that is the only peace keeping force at the moment. people in serbia definitely are not friends of nato forces, you know, with k for is our forces that have been there from the very beginning. and the only one that say they actually yesterday evening cb and president had this urgent meeting with the ministry of defense and actually with rapid high representatives of k for in belgrade in headquarters. and they agreed that he would, the high representative would go immediately to cause it's committed to come things down, you know, but people do not forget that actually that organization that is now representing themselves and saviors. or let's say peacekeepers are the ones that actually started whole this thing. ok, so a 10 situation less and a little bit today, but still very much on the verge, in
9:12 am
a thank you for talking us through and giving us background as well. our tea journalist, alina lynch, the 1st grain shipman by sea agreed as part of a deal between kia and moscow has left the korean port of o. t. s. o. flying under the flood of sierra leone, the cargo ship resume is sent to deliver maize to the port office and bold by tomorrow, tuesday. after travelling through the black sea corridors, it will be the 1st shipment organize as part of the military and operation led by russian, ukrainian, and turkish officials in a joint coordination center. me less cross live now to our correspond over among costs. read for more on this. hi there. remind. yeah, the 1st tangible results of the recent green talks we are speaking about take us
9:13 am
through at what's happening, what's expected? well, apparently the sierra leone a flag, the ship is carrying at least 26000 tons of but made some reports are saying that there are 28000 thought tons. but that's irrelevant. what's relevant is, is the 1st shipment of fall grain from the port of odessa in many, many months now, is the 1st civilian fraser to carry a civilian good. so mays in this case, from odessa to the outside world, if you will, on a regular shipments have been blocked recently because of the special melissa operations that, that's been taking place in the last few months. now, the departure follow this departure follows last month a deal that was a struck by a russia ukraine, searcy and the united nations. now,
9:14 am
it is hope that this particular shipment will put as start to relieve some of the pressure on the global of food market, where the prices have been rising quite rapidly over the last few months. now ukraine and some of their partners have been saying that this deal on any negotiations with russia could be futile after russia struck military objects in the port of a, just a day after this deal was frog. now, us agency for international development or you are said, and it's a representative of samantha powers, which used to be u. n. a representative for the united states said that there is no way you can trust anything that's russian. president vladimir putin says, but so, so that's russian officials replied that it's russia struck a military objects in the port of odessa alone. and any civilian or great
9:15 am
facilities for that matter have not been affected at all. and today we have seen that it is true indeed, and nothing was affected and the shipment's or go ahead as planned. now, besides us setting out the framework for resuming of food supplies, a grain supplies from a ukraine. a memorandum a is also within this agreement that was struck by a russia u n. u crane, and that searcy ha, which will eventually lift international sanctions for the export of food products and fertilizers from russia to the rest of the world round. thanks very much for taking us through that we, we, it's anxious thing to see about. it goes through all right, we're mon, customer of our to correspond. thank you. well, we can update, you know, on the latest from the battle ground or the russian defense ministry claims to us
9:16 am
supplied. high mars rocket launchers have been destroyed in a strike on a local manufacturing plants in ukrainian city of harker. more than 250 nationalists and mercenaries were also said to have been killed in this same attack which reportedly led to ukrainian troops fleeing the front line. meanwhile, local malicious that he had has last run 400 missiles, striking dozens of houses and civilian infrastructure. now another update to bring you at 2 civilians in the done yet for public happening, left named after walking on bond, anti personnel mines, not ukraine had reportedly been dropping on the city. according to a local mer, our senior correspondent, murat, gas div reports from the embattled region. over the past several weeks, a lull has settled over the don bass, which is relative ah,
9:17 am
off the series of breakthroughs, russian and allied forces are rotating regrouping, and rearming, especially rearming. on the outskirts of the city of solid up, we have stumbled upon this graveyard. a graveyard of empty munitions crates for russia, multiple rocket launcher systems over the course of this conflicts ukrainian nationalists and troops have learned to philip russian artillery. and in this aspect, in this regard, russia has demonstrated total superiority day and night artillery pounds away at ukrainian positions. you can tell where the front lines lay, just by sound alone, but is the sound of a full salvo of grad multiple rocket launch systems far away
9:18 am
as ukrainian positions witcher entirely too close up on that hill over the left are ukrainian forces. those are the generations, you may hear them now. it is not entirely one sided. ukrainian artillery answers back often blindly through the village of letty men of good was liberated, almost intact after weeks and weeks of endless ukrainian shelling. it is a battered shell of what it was. ah, the boobs and blasts of artillery exchanges are ceaseless. they are drowned out, only by the roar of jets. ah!
9:19 am
ah! these are 225 ground attack air craft. shoot you an abundance of anti air defenses. on both sides. they fly extremely low meters above the ground, rearing up only to launch their attacks. that done, they deploy fledged, had missed direct any heat seeking missiles, launched their way. and in the midst of it, all the infantry marchers on the squad is moving out to secure newly captured positions. scant kilometers from the city of solider city, that ukrainian troops and nationalists have turned into a fortress where i'd gaz
9:20 am
d a r t from le debit of the nets, people's republic, yvette elizabeth ah, gala spring you know, to a rock where thousands of protesters continue to occupy the parliament building in a sit in against attempts to form the countries next government. the protesters are followers of the influential she actor, or else other. they are demanding early elections on the icing of his political opponents, who were currently trying to create a new government elections were held back in october and it was also dear, who got the biggest share of the food, namely 10 per cent. something still very far from a majority is opponents on alliance of a run back groups. a parliament session was expected to form the government after a 10 month power if i can. but to, to the protest, all sessions being suspended until further notice. let's just show you some imagery from saturday. what was when protest took a more dramatic turn. demonstrators temp,
9:21 am
of concrete security walls around the parliament building and storm the way and since then, the protests have brought sleeping bags on claim they will go on this 3rd among the lawless and without principles. that's the back to us. prince charles is facing from critics following the sunday times revelation that one of his charity secured a 7 figures, sum of money from family members of all summer, been love. the thunderbolt ida, a mastermind behind the 911 attacks. having taken 1000000 pounds from the bin laden family, it's clear prince charles has terrible judgment. perhaps he should just retire and talk to his plans more instead, the british monarchy proves itself once again to be corrupt, lawless, and without principles. imagine a muslim being caught accepting money from bin laden's family. he'd been guantanamo
9:22 am
faster than you can say it. the times alleges out the euro to the british strome received as you just saw there a 1000000 pound haman following a personal meeting with one over some have been robins, half brothers. in 2030. the newspapers said that was despite the initial objection from the prince of wales, chargeable from that's the organ i station to which the sum was donated the supposed relation between the bin laden family and charles. he's associated with prince charles have never been publicly disclosed before. when it comes nearly a month after reports that prince charles was handed carrier bags filled with $3000000.00 pounds in cash from the former prime minister of tar not money was also deposited into the prince of wales, chargeable fund, international editor of the morning star newspaper. steve sweeney believes these scandals could lead to a significant crisis for the british monarchy. this shows incredibly poor judgment
9:23 am
from prince charles and the whole family who seemed to think nothing of taking millions of pounds from a family. being linked to one of the biggest terrorist operations on the planet is the moral outrage that this is provoked to the room and the backlash against the wall family that they don't seem particularly bothered about. it shows all family that is in crisis. it's certainly not progressive, it shows that he's out of touch with the ordinary people. and so some serious questions now being posed one about the relevance of the roles on the relevance of the monarchy and whether they can continue. and i imagine that people now pretty much coming to the end of the line ready is something else to bring you today. a german politician has provoked a wave of anger after voicing a warning against unilateral criticism of russia over it's offensive in ukraine.
9:24 am
the local transport minister claimed over the past 30 years or so, conflicts that sol western intervention led to more destruction rather than piece in an interview to a german news agency when fred herman compared the foreign policy of russia against out of the u. s. and nato allies. the politician also criticize the missed opportunities to consolidate peace for the sake of nature shows eastern enlargement . he's not facing criticism for his words along with the man's that he reassess his statements. he's not alone. a number of western politicians have recently questioned the west. normative brushes solely to blame. the iris president has been urged to clarify the country stance on the conflict in ukraine after a letter from his wife and on the situation was met with the public. i'll try, let's just go through that. sabina higgins call for peace negotiations. a position
9:25 am
is which of course other you country sure. just a number of months ago. she also criticized an irish times. editorial thing. she was called disappointed. it did not encourage any spire talks that might lead to a positive settlement, but her remarks have been met by condemnation from within her own country. mister higgins is entitled to her personal opinion and to express it, although i believe that she is totally wrong to try to see an equivalent in the positions of ukraine and russia. it is incumbent on the president of violence and now express, clearly the strong support of the people of ireland for the people of ukraine. while independent journalist jason miko thinks ireland, despite not being part of nato, is under pressure to follow the west perspective on the conflict on a line with key if an opinion by the, the president's wife and sabina higgins of this nature, asking for peace, asking for negotiations is really stepping out of line with benito narrative,
9:26 am
where peace and negotiations are there not to be entertained at all. this is a proxy war, but has to be prosecuted to the better end, regardless of the number of deaths involved. we have to bear in mind the ireland is non aligned, it's not nate to member, it's neutral by its constitution. but there is a great deal of political pressure in island for some kind of alignment with nato at this time. and that is growing, but it's not supported by public opinion. it was also quite shocking. the reaction from the, the political and the media establishment, an island which would certainly draw a picture of it being almost an act of treason or sedition. or for anyone in public life to ask for a cease fire and peace and michael de higgins and his wife are very much in tune with the opinions of irish people. the us has slop sanctions on bosnian
9:27 am
serb leader, node round dudek for what it considers to be his destabilizing activities and exclusive interview. 2 r t. he talked about those allegations on the current international situation as a whole promising. oh, brought all portrait in my opinion from the very beginning, this was a war which the west imposed on russia and russia is defending its national security interests. is the west, which is leading this war by providing weapons to ukraine. and this prolongs the getting until the last ukrainian, as already being said, for me when it comes to russian at strategic state interests, the same things apply as for the u. s. and other countries. the factors that before the war, the west, ignored all the justified demands of russia when it comes to perceive national threats. so, we know that russia told the western pacific views, but the west ignore that because they wanted to bring about this conflict. so they could use ukraine to bring russia to its knees,
9:28 am
which has not happened. i believe that it's unlikely to actually happen as i can see and understand what the west did by imposing these sanctions, has cause more harm to themselves than to russia. russia's military operation as proceeding according to plan with sir. busy the approach grew up on the lift, and i think the political western police do not live the average life of the western people at all. they are more trapped by their ideas of a neo liberal concept, which provides for their prosperous lives. those elite, the multinational companies, the bank as they are ignoring the realities of the situation. they believe that they cannot be exposed to the stabilization in their own countries. and that is why they are ignoring the situation. it is obvious that sanctions were a serious political failure and did more harm to the economies and living standards of the people in western countries, especially in the you of the we can see this brought a lot of instability to the governments themselves. many of them are now more
9:29 am
unstable. i think that our government in the republic a serv, hska is now more stable than some other governments in european countries. from german chancellor schultz who is trapped for the green lobby, which is imposing its own agenda and rejecting russian gas which endangers the whole industrial development. and some affairs relate to the government itself. to french president micron, who has lost a majority in parliament to britain's bars. johnson who's already falling from power. and then maria draggy, he resigned as italy's prime minister. and even the austrian government, which is very unstable. the only stable power among e u countries is the all been government in hungary, your so called photo britannia, america. so we will, is answered the dutch britain and america to impose sanctions on me. but that's more of a problem for them being so arrogant and powerful thinking that we are small. i think that when it comes to politics, there's always the question of, do you conduct yourself with dignity or not? when, if nobody likes being viewed as a coward, and i'm certainly not want,
9:30 am
i think that russia has its own justified goals. i think the president putin as a great leader and a great statesman who strengthens russia. the russian influence in the balkans as a matter that's up to debate, if there's any influence, then it's the influence of england, germany in the u. s. for 30 years after the war, despite their influence and presence, they have failed to stabilize this society. and they cannot stabilize it because they want to do it based on an unrealistic foundation. they want to tell us that we are not sense that we are just citizens, so that we would give up our national identity, our language alphabet, our culture, our land republic. so we could become good guys in their opinion. that is not going to happen. so it's good that miranda dick will love us how the news is looking on this monday august. the 1st do keep an eye on our t dot com for all the latest developments. so i'll be here again up the top of the hour. hope you can show me then by.
