we can drove royal for some reason. our government thinks that we should be using our own oil, which is crazy with ah, a confrontation in the self proclaimed republic of kosovo is normally avoided. the authorities in pristina. postpone a controversial plan to bonnet free to anyone with serbian documents. the 1st grain shipment has left the creamy in port of odessa. it is expected to reach us and vote by tuesday as part of a deal between moscow. also the graveyard of mt admonition quite a bit of this conflict. ukrainian nationalists and troops have led to free up russia itinerary

r. t reports from the front line in the ukraine called flank, sales artillery as fire, day and night, by both sides with ukrainian properties, reportedly hitting residential areas. the iraqi police and military are on high alert while protesters occupy the parliament building for a 3rd in a road, angry and a coalition currently trying to form the next government with broadcasting from moscow. this is our team, my names, you know, neil, 30 minutes of news and views and start what was threatening to become a confrontation in the north of the self proclaimed republic of kosovo. has been afforded following the decision by christina to postpone a controversial decision. bolling entry to any one with serbian documents, not a u. turn. comes after a day of turmoil on sunday,

which saw her raid sirens sunning, insert populated areas. i'm reported gunshots with several people taken to hospital . let's take a look at the situation and how it looked on the ground. 2 0 i oh i well, what is occurring in the contested region began after plans where a 90 to bon serbian caught registrations from august 1st to make at serbs entering the region require permits. all such plans have not been postponed until september while the last sizable spot between sir b on cost. okay. nearly a year ago when the self proclaimed republic again moved to bon cars with serbian

license plates and deployed forces on its northern border would serve be a back then. both sides managed to settled, the dispute, not comfortable, you know, lawfully declared its independence in 2008, but many countries, including russia, china, spain, and serbia don't recognize it. the spanish prime minister recently added that the self proclaimed declaration of cost of independence represents a violation of international law. will r t journalist, the alina melinda, which is in belgrade, she sees serbs of already lost a lot in conflicts with cost, and the threat of a new $1.00 must be prevented by the international community. there is a very interesting thing happening right now because the, the decision has been made after the advice of american ambassador, it's a month that has been given by this delay or postponing the new measures is

actually something that will give them time to negotiate in brussels. they have already been invited by the european union officials to do that because certain people do not have the right that they need to have. there is a strong a will from washington, you know, to for newsroom or for new war in vulcans. and i think he, in this moment, he really needs to keep people calm. but since you already lost a lot in that region 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, over time, the tangle of cost of in serbian relations has become increasingly complicated in drawing ever more parties into play with the brick on. here's our t contributor rachel marston. why is it that wherever and whenever american officials, papa drama and chaos tends to follow whether it's ukraine, taiwan,

or now, what was once known as yugoslavia that is before the us dragged its nieto allies into a mission to break up the federal republic in the late nineties, officially, u. s. president bill clinton cited humanitarianism at the time and the need to protect ethnic albanian muslims of the serbian province of kosovo as a reason for carving it out and using it as a launching pad for nato. let attacks on serbia, but the real reason had everything to do with the desire to isolate what it considered to be a major russian ally in europe, serbia that is in the wake of the cold war. so the west is exploited, kosovo in the past, against its geopolitical competitor, just like it's doing in taiwan against china, or by supporting the neo nazi as all fighters in ukraine, against russia. by tr, backing the syrian rebels in an attempt to overthrow president bashar al assad of syria. by back in lucia in, in afghanistan against the soviets,

during the cold war, or the contrast against the sandinista as in nicaragua. and while phyllis just goes on and on, so it's not just a big coincidence that u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and showed up in kosovo just as the latest round of trouble popped off this week. and that the president of kosovo was talking well about russia, as you know mister secretary put in, we'll continue to try to destabilize europe also through the western wilkins. we will continue to need the steadfast support of the united states, as well as our european allies, to make sure that the plans of fresh as well as its proxy and the region are stopped. we'll look forward alongside the prime minister to discuss the reforms, especially on full of flock that we are addressing in our country. and i want to thank you for that support as well as for every step of the way that we have made. and at the same time, with the support that we're receiving from the united states in the area of defense . the now is that kosovo is refusing to recognize serbian documents and license

plates. but why would it suddenly do that? why now? what motivation could it possibly have? serbia is a thorn in washington. cy, amid the ukraine conflict and steadfastly refuses to succumb to western pressure, to sacrifice its relationships with russia, and to harm its own economy in the name of ukraine. do we want to be part of the west conflict with russia? do we want to forget all these decades in which russia supported us? do we want to forget all these centuries of slavic brotherhood? if you want to stick to territorial integrity and sovereignty as the most important principle of international politics start with serbia? kosovo has long been used as a western pressure valve when it needs to dial up tensions on serbia and indirectly on its ally. moscow. not yet a member of the european union belgrade has instead been moving into closer cooperation with iran, expanding trade ties and refusing to join you sanctions against hey,

run. it's also discussing military cooperation with russian military ally, belarus, and its interior minister just said last week that it won't be nato's foot soldier in the alliance is conflict with russia. ukraine has also suddenly insert itself into the tensions in kosovo as though it doesn't have enough to deal with already at home. if serbia invades kosovo, we should defend the kosovars. ukraine is ready to act with our troops on the ground. serbia is trying to start an aggressive war precisely according to putins method. as i said, sir b as putin's trojan horse in europe. war anywhere in the world is terrible. the fact the cave doesn't officially recognize kosovo as anything other than a part of serbia doesn't seem to phase this ukrainian official, nor does the fact that some ukrainians ashley fought alongside serbs against the nato alliance and its proxies. back in the late nineties. all that seems to matter

right now is the fact that kosovo is willing to sing on que from the western hymn book when it comes to ukraine, allows nato to park its largest base in europe on it so well. so it's hardly a surprise that nato is already talking about jumping in and helping kosovo. they're pretty keen on this. it seems like blinking visit it. no doubt just has a knack for poor incidentally being in the right place. at the right time. to another of our headline stories to day. the 1st, green shipman by sea agreed as part of a deal between kiev and moscow has left the creamy in port of odessa. the 1st such movement in month o flying under the fly gold sierra leone. the cargo ship resolutely said to deliver amaze to the port of his

son bo, by tuesday, after travelling through a black sea corridor, it'll be the 1st shipment organized as part of a humanitarian operation, led by russian, ukrainian, and turkish officials in a joint coordination center. r t, raymond castro can tell us more. now, according to reports, the sierra leone flag, the vessel is loaded with some 26 to 28000 symes, of amazed, and it's, this nation is a lebanon. now, this ship is the 1st to civilian writer to leave the port of odessa in recent and once since the special operation by russia began. now this departure follows last month, the deal between a russia, ukraine, cherokee and the united nations to lead of food experts leave a from ukraine to the rest of the world. now it's hold to that, that this 1st the shipment will pull to start to many more in the future,

which will relieve the global food market where prices have been rapidly rising over the last few months. now ukraine and some of the partners have been a very skeptical about this deal when it was the 1st side and they even started making provisions for alternative routes by trade or by land. however, it looks like after the leaving of this shipment, the deal is working and hopefully very soon, a lot more experts from the port of odessa and from russia will reach the global food market. let's get some updates from the battle ground. now the russian defense ministry claims to us supplied hi mars. rocket launchers have been destroyed in a strike on a local manufacturing content. hawk of more than $250.00 nationalists and mercenaries were also said to have been killed in the same attack which reportedly

led to ukrainian trips, flinging the front line well to civilians. in danielle count, been left maned after walking on bound anti personnel mines that t. f forces had reportedly been dropping on this city. that is, according to the city's moore, or a senior correspondent, murat, gusty of reports now from don bus. over the past several weeks, a lull has settled over the don bass, which is relative. ah, 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 amunition crates for russia multiple

rocket launcher systems. over the course of this conflicts ukrainian nationalists and troops have learned to philip russian itinerary. and in these 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. that is the sound of a full salvo of grad most of all rocket launcher systems, far away as ukrainian positions richer entirely to close up on that hill over the left are ukrainian forces. those are the destinations, you may hear them now. it is not entirely one sided. ukrainian artillery answers

back often blindly. the village of like the men of good was liberated almost intact after weeks and weeks of endless ukrainian, chilling. it is a battered shell of what it was. ah, the booms and blasts of artillery exchanges are ceaseless. they are drowned out, only by the roar of jets. ah! ah! these are suit 25 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 flares to miss direct any heat seeking missiles, launched their way. and in the midst of it, all the infantry marches 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 gasdio party from vladimir africa than yet. people's republic with global hostility in the world hitting the heights right now. the u. n. is hosting a 10th review conference for nuclear arms nonproliferation states in new york aimed

at softening tensions on breathing new life into disarmament negotiations. us secretary of state anthony, blinking usually event islam, a rums nuclear program. thing to run must follow washington and you plan to restore the 2015 agreement ahead of the conference, joe biden said he accepts commitments on further mutual. this argument with russia . president putin has also said that nuclear war must be avoided out. all coffee are to kill us up and has more now on the conference ball, the nuclear nonproliferation treaty review meeting is taking place in manhattan at the un headquarters and in the lead up to it. there was a rather boastful statement from the white house, the white house that united states is the example the whole world should follow when it comes to these kinds of issues. however, it's important to note the white house is currently talking about hoping about the possibility of restoring the j. c. p. o, a nuclear agreement with iran,

that the united states violated and broke. let's review. united states is determined to lead by the power of our example through diplomacy and coordination with allies and regional partners. we've developed a proposal to secure a mutual return to full implementation of the joint comprehensive plan of action to ensure that iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. now it's also important to note that in the last few years, the united states has withdrawn from a number of key nuclear agreements that were established at the end of the cold war . and it's also important to note that the russian leadership has pointed out that the united states has frozen counter terrorism conversations and conversations about fighting terrorism with russia on now. what is being referred to as far fetched, pre tax corporation between russia and the united states in the field of anti terror is now basically frozen washington, unilaterally and under far fetched pretext,

decided to suspend profile meetings within the high level dialogue under the auspices of the foreign ministries of brushing, united states, which were held in vienna in 2018 to 2019 and were useful for both sides of the united states is seen a basically a withdrawal from the nuclear deal with iran. the world has washed as united states, withdrew from nuclear treaties. so we shall see how this meeting of the non proliferation treaty and it's review takes place that the un headquarters in manhattan. ah, are i turning attention now to the middle east under rack, where thousands of protesters continue to occupy the parliament building in a city against attempts to form the countries next government? these are some of the latest pictures from baghdad where rallies turned into clashes with security forces. the protesters are mainly the followers of the influential shia cleric looked out at elsa. dear. they're demanding early elections

on the ice thing of his political opponents who are currently trying to create a new government elections were held in october and it was also dear, who got the bigger share of the vote, nearly 10 percent. something of course though very far from the majority, his opponents are an alliance of groups more closely align sewer, run a parliament session was expected to form the government after a 10 month power vacuum. but due to the protests, all sessions have been suspended until further notice. and these are pictures from subway. when protests toppled concrete security walls around parliament and stormed insight. since then, the protesters have had sleeping bags smuggled into the building unclaimed. they won't leave until their demands are net their for his phone and for our sister channel, our tiara big is in the iraqi camp because i lost my the rocky om forces and the

police are on high lunch. and i located in the so called green zone of baghdad, a government buildings located. they interact with representatives of al sada supporters. in particular with regard to the safe passage the parliament building. hind me, you can see a security checkpoint without saw to support his god to get these cars. passing in the direction of the parliament building belong to the sonorous, they have the permission to enter. as for others who want to get in, they can only go on foot. this is the gateway to the green side. more more people are heading here. but at the moment, that number is not very large on perhaps the heat is forcing me satirists and others to arrive a little late. meanwhile, inside the parliament building patriotic songs had chance against the united states, a herd which also contained criticism of iran. the demonstrators of making many demands that the no longer limited to protesting the nomination of mohammed al sir dani from the alliance, but also include other demands related to regime change. constitutional changes an electoral procedures as stated by mac, tada al sada was mentioned in october's elections. the most

supported come to the got only a 10th of the vote while in several elections prior to that, the maximum sure never exceeded 25 percent history professor of the lebanese university in beirut. shemelle what came believes the current fragmentation of power as roots going back to the 2003 us led invasion of iraq. this is what the americans prepared for iraq, the invasion of the country thousands and to be so that the politics in iraq would be to facilitate the intervention, mainly american intervention whenever they want. and this has been the case since 2000 then 3. so that's why we don't see any dominant power. we see fragmentation of power among various groups. no one would win majority or echo illusion that when the majority of the parliament this needs to say made.

which leads to foreign intervention in order to prevent these groups. this is what the americans prepared for the country in order to better manipulate this country and mainly against iran. and that just want to think agenda containing the region which it on china and russia, loved them from having influence in the middle east and access to these military. oh, okay. 2 story generating quite a lot of interest in the u. k. now, almost a 100 artifacts taken from africa by british colonial forces at the end of the 19th century could be handled by by the university of oxford. the news comes after nigeria made out official request earlier this year. now those $97.00 items and all

are religious, the tiny handful of the thousands of artifacts held in museums outside the african continent. and african officials are seeking the return of many from the miniature to the carp summer. concerned that the british government, in particular, has been invasive offering no commitments on restitution. and specifically, the british museum, which holds an extensive collection from across africa, but is protected by a law which only allows repatriation under certain circumstances. last year is applying pressure to the u. k. government so that those laws in particular are amended, but indeed other african countries say that a lot more needs to be done as well. why should we allow those so called museums, which in fact are crime scenes and houses of stolen goods to dictate to us telling us that we have to prove that the items belong to us? as much as we celebrate the return of former connelly's prime minister,

patrice bloomberg tooth from belgium. let's not celebrate too much. let's remind ourselves that the work has just started. earlier i heard the thoughts of other mood garb, the 2nd who had been in the running for next years, nigerian presidential election, or he believes the west should pay compensation as well for looting masses of artifacts for century this to me is what it breaks. who actually is just a negative reminder of the situation that we found i was in africa during the colonial regime. you know, colonialism to some degree is some kind of a crime against humanity. it can offer, can look to just almost water sources, but also overall identity and these identities where those are the fact that we help resolve or was centuries of our existence that i was told, you know, we are looted biking to ms in london on belgium, on so many european capitals. so to find the go to 20 more jobs calling,

it means that you have to pay, you know, for 40 charges of your techs. what tell we are we're expected to celebrate in order to know something about how we might need to keep them from was. so this is really not, it would be just stuck in mind. i'd really document my dog used to be of africa colonizing on something that we mostly reject on was never allowed to ever exist when you suffer a game from africa to asia, 7 tons of radioactive water have leap from a nuclear power plant in japan. the bahama facility was the 1st reactor to be restarted in the country last year, after the fukushima disaster in 2011. according to a report published by the station operator, the water, it didn't leave the nuclear plants and did not have an impact on the environment. they contaminated water contains traces of,

tried him and other radioactive materials. an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the incident. the reactor, which is more than 40 years old, was temporarily holsted in october, due to non compliance with anti terror security requirements. and just to show you this as well, a protest held on sunday in fukushima. it came after japan's nuclear, regularly approved plans to release well over a 1000000 tons of waste water from the city's nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean. the waste water was used to cool the nuclear reactors after the accident, their site, korea, china. the express concern about the discharge, which protestors fear, could have a negative impact on lasting one local industry. one in particular, the fishermen take great care of the ocean, not to mention the fish. so i think it's no surprise that no matter how much the tokyo power electric company dilutes the treated water,

making it below standard and discharging it into the ocean. they cannot say that it is okay to go. we are concerned that farmers and fishermen will be very badly affected because they will be discharging contaminated water into the sea for 40 years, more than what we have held many demonstrations and rallies. and we believe that the biggest problem here is the state of democracy. i am still very angry at the government's heavy handed approach, which does not reflect or represent the will of the people a lot is robbed for this news hour, but don't go too far as more programs to get going in moments i'm, you know, native from the rti team and myself ah ah

ah ah, ah

ah, my name is jeremy gusta said i'm a farmer in iowa, right in the middle of my home town is noon. we raised corn and soybeans here. so some issues that are different this year, the in years past is that with all the things going on the world, the day are input costs, have almost doubled blue nitrogen. oh, green double and triple thing on the form of nitrogen that's been interesting. next year is the one that's going to be typical. we're running off all inventory supply chain issues, we're told because a cold over reaction that the cold with that was caused

a lot of supply chain problem. so the national are and they're telling us more see, i don't, i think it's green. bought air. if everything would, everything would stabilize, it will help it. so i want to say a very risky, very risky right now. for example, you could have to far was living one right across the road from each other. and each operate just a little bit different. one, i'm lucky enough to shell his price far enough. ahead. had a good price. and the other one doesn't. one can go broke and the other one don't it's, it's, it's, it's gonna be it's gonna be really hard for everybody to keep going. so i'm will make it, some of them won't. ah.
