ah, a us warns china not to escalate the situation in ty one into a crisis after blow sees visit to the region that says beijing begins large scale military exercises and hopes trade with taipei. this rocket is whole to hurricane and it landed right here in this playground, the ukrainian army attack civilian areas internet but reported me stuff,

the setbacks and the towns of history. and they've cut, which are used as climbing positions to target the dumb bus. and in an exclusive interview with our t foreman, austrian foreign minister, kevin, can i so chase how she had to flee europe after facing death rates over her ties with russia. i was forced by various parts of public institutions. we'll have to call them russia. you have to take distance for it, then you have to regret that you ever had context. for example, i said, i'm not going to do that with hello and welcome to our international. we're coming to life. my studio is here in moscow. i'm paula clear and it's a pleasure to be with you. the u. s. is trying to downplay how speaker nancy pelosi is recent visit to ty, one saying there's no reason for beijing to over react. there is no reason

for beijing. it to turn this visit, which is consistent with longstanding u. s. policy and into some sort of crisis. beijing was quick to respond to the statements coming from washington, saying that youth actions in the region will have consequences. to leave the u. s. as acting treacherously on the taiwan issue, blatantly playing with fire and blatantly becoming an enemy of one would be $4000000000.00 chinese people and it will never end. well, ortiz nikki. aaron takes a closer look at the consequences of policies. visit to taipei. toner is already taking action as it won't. it would fall out from pillow seas. well, when trip has been swift and brutal to quite rightly, people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual kinds of these companies and entire sectors of the economy. here,

taiwan has already paid a cult field visit and is likely to continue to do so. with the coming days of week . what concrete tangible benefits could be promised taiwan, offset the cost of your trip? a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done and americans have made a bit of a habit of doing things like this, throwing others under the bus in service of their own goals and the consequences over this brief trip already taking hold. global market, so spooked and the largest military drills around high one in decades. ah, let's say might prove that the economic measures imposed by china will hurt taiwan . the most staging has already banned imports from $35.00 taiwanese exports plus

restrictions on some fruit and fish. and will it might not sound like a big deal, the ban on son to which the island was already short of plus if a key component of ty, one's greatest export semiconductors, which have not be mentioned. well, not yet. if aging does decide to go further, people on the streets will be sure to feel it. china is tie, one's largest trading partner after role. so is it any wonder that there were people in taiwan who weren't engaging in the pillow? see love fest bunny nannie pill. what do you mean below? see what the hell are doing here right now? come all the way here to sport the tail. these people support yourself. you want to support us to fight against the peoples of the ration army that americans always ask us to let more day when people join the army. whenever you come to tell why you want us to buy more weapons from you and fight against the people's liberation army and urban terrain, it's none of your business. i here to support, i want to provoke a war one. how are you doing here?

hello. see the relationship between the mainland and taiwan is already very tense, you know, supporting. so why do we don't need your support? your lease really favoring oil on the flame? i mean, you only make things worse. so who did this flying visit is 1st with us simply pelosi. he wanted to be picked up a chair in ty pay before he attention. he gets kicked out this november, or was it the war hawks in washington hooping ratcheting up the anti china rhetoric for months? now, oh, and of course the military industrial complex, the very heart of american foreign policy american officials have been quietly pressing their tie when these counterparts to buy weapons suitable for a symmetric warfare. a conflict in which is smaller, military uses mobile systems to conduct lethal strikes on a much bigger force. they can say what it has here is a win win. not only does it make money on selling weapons, but it also has a li for us weapons at the ready in the region. should it decide it needs them?

as we know, tie one wouldn't be the 1st to pay the price for the policy. the dc warhawks, people in afghanistan all starving because the government can't access its own money, which is frozen by the us. there's tens of thousands of venezuelans who pay the ultimate price of the u. s. as punitive sanctions. and then there's the ukranian people who critic say dying needlessly, just in american pole. and the u. s. proxy war with russia. but apparently in the long run, it's always a price worth paying. we have heard half a 1000000 children of god. i mean, that's more children than died when want and hiroshima and you know, if the price worth it, i think this is a very hard choice, but the price we think the price is worth it. so now he's taiwan, and pelosi won't even give it a 2nd thought she got her photo. after all, the united states has been supplying the island with arms for years,

with even talks of a nuclear program in taiwan to deter a potential chinese attack. as well as speculation on the possibility of a direct military confrontation between the us and china in the region of strategic importance for washington. over the years, the u. s. continue to increase its unofficial military presence in time one, also sending hundreds of millions of dollars and military a to tie pay. despite rising tensions with beijing while officially sticking to its one china policy, we discussed the controversial us actions with scott ritter, a former us marine corps intelligence officer. there is no doubt that the united states has been disingenuous in the implementation of its stated policy objectives . that have been agreed upon with china regarding non interference in the internal affairs of china. centered around the one china policy, words don't match actions, that's the problem. the united states continues to claim to china that it is

supporting that policy of one china. but it's words and in what it's doing are completely different in china has been calling out the united states for some time . now, warning that statements made by the united states government officials are very dangerous and that the united states needs to carefully reconsider the rhetoric. it doesn't appear that this is a deliberate act by the united states to provoke china. it appears that the binding administration is in the midst of policy chaos and nancy pelosi has exploited this in a very precipitous manner. aah! moving now to ukraine, way ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered major losses near the towns of pesky . and these are used by ukrainian troops as firing positions to target the dentist region where 2 people were killed and at least 25 wounded over the last 24 hours.

that's according to dpr officials. the wounded include 5 that are injured by so called petal mines as auntie correspondent, woman cosser, of ports from the region ukrainian army continuous shilling, civil in areas of the nest canal. a shell landed right here in this oh, residential area. as the result. unfortunately, one person had been killed. this woman right here was right next to her house, doing some gardening. unfortunately, ukrainian shell ended her life this wednesday for seniors and i need you to do 3 such attacks. incessant shelling have become more frequent in the last 2 or 3 weeks . yes, it all started 8 years ago. but specifically, over the past 4 months, everything has intensified. there are no military hare at all within a radius of 2 free kilometers. there are no meal true bases nearby. this is yet

another a heavily populated area of done that's, that's been bombed by ukraine military on a daily basis. can see her residential buildings all around me. actually, my relative lives in this building right here. he called me late last night saying that something very heavy fell into into the playground. by the way, the shilling continued as we speak. we arrived here and found this rocket. apparently this is from a multiple rocket launcher. this a rocket is colder hurricane and it landed right here in this play ground. thankfully, it was late and no children were present here at all. at that time, he saw the impact crater was right next to a teeter totter right in the center of the playground. ah, we don't know yet whether there were any children or adults or anyone damaged or god forbid killed. but this is another act of ukrainian terrors, and it couldn't be more clear out at the same time when we're walking to that site

. i'm looking down at the ground thinking like, are there any more of these butterfly minds or am i gonna lose a foot, her leg, or the people here in this densely inhabited, working class neighborhood? are they gonna lose alike? western is of course perfectly silent about this. these poor people look at them though just to normal people. there had been subject to 8 years of war already. it's disgusting, isabella. it almost looked awkward. i was knitting and suddenly there was an explosion as if the corner of the roof collapsed. if i was shaking all over a big explosion saying the tears are still pouring. the russian investigative committee continued to document a war, crimes committed by the ukrainian military against civilians. here in dunn boss, ukrainian nationalists are shelling the city of the nest with very high caliber artillery, including that sir, that was delivered from a nato countries now scenes of destruction just like this one are everywhere in

this city. and of course there heard civilians as well on tuesday. at least 2 people had been killed and 25 were wounded. now the crane and military are not only shelling the city which result in destruction like of this. so there are also mining civilian areas with so called a butterfly mines or better minds as they are sometimes called as a result of that flight. people have been wounded and now there will be disabled for life. vermont also have hearty. don't ask people's republic, hearty walk or respond and andre flat off was hip. i shall fragment when ukrainian soldiers through grenades and a unit of dentist militia troops. according to andre shrapnel caused an injury to his leg. this is footage he sent us from the scene. the korean army launched grenade and artillery fire. the fragments were next to us was fair living and could

not make any noise. our group was spotted just as i saw that they kept throwing grenades at us. i got hit in the leg, not much of the section, and midwestern tension surrounding all things. russia. many people who refused to cut ties with the country faced enormous pressure among them. former austrian foreign minister. kevin can isolate who has received death rates and now lives in lebanon. archie had a talk with her on her life has changed in recent months. the full interview you can watch later, here on our t. the rationality in dealing with russia has always been around. but ever since february 24th of course it gains once moral and intensity. in february, i was quite grateful that i happened to be in france and knelt anymore in austria. and i was forced by various parts of public institutions. you have to condemn russia. you have to take distance from president,

put then you have to regret that you ever had context. president said, i'm not going to do all that. yeah, no, i'm not going to call them and take this stands as it's not my side. i never was in politics. i don't consider myself as a gentleman, politician. i wasn't about running for a party, but i also found out in a very harsh way that nobody would ever open them out for me. i'm an easy target and i'm by myself. so if anybody's trying is deciding to cut down all my bank accounts, then i'm lost and nobody would care. people still believe that i am either austria because dow lots of requests. the other day i got a request from a kurdish party. they wanted to ask me to help them with context and all strands on as little deborah, many people are still under the impression that i'm in austria and others who have followed a little bit to the back who they believe i'm wasting money on my,

in my villas in southern france, if you want to confuse the enemy down up many who know or who have realized that i am 11 on may or the believe that i'm in russia, that i'm cross running the propaganda. and this in 4 months, you and that they said that they call it the europe. i grew up in freedom, legal predictability, security doesn't exist anymore. and things proceed to way the proceed now in many european countries in terms of blackouts. here and level non people know how to live with black. i know how to live with 2 or 3 hours of electricity. but this is not the case for many use societies, so maybe in the very end, i was even lucky to come to 11 on even so i didn't come out of choice. she asked me what would have to happen that i should go back. i would say a lot of people will have to say, sorry, we apologize for what the said about you for what we did against you. and 1st i

would expect them to apologize and not to make my life impossible. when one as a fish, i me and to armenian soldiers have now been confirmed dead in the disputed territory of not going to come back with tensions. have once again fled, at least 14 more armenians were reported. the wounded and that's according to an official statement from the going to come about military. armenia has blamed the violence on the bridge any unit for violating a ceasefire. and not, not going to care about has announced a partial mobilization amid unconfirmed reports of continuing clashes that as a bizarre any defense ministry claims has taken control of key territories in the caribbean region. as a bizarre, any true feelings and a strike during the operation hitting and amelion military unit, we spoke 2 journalists from both armenia and as the vision to get more of the story . as a by chance,

i'm much the i sure by johnny side at 9 am on wednesday launch aggressive military operations and various directions of the arts are republic using weapons of various calibers rocket propelled grenade and strike trans. according to official reports, there are 2 dead in 14 injured on the armenian side. now our thirty's are taking measures to stabilize the situation together with the russian peacekeeping forces. despite the fact, the situation is stabilized by 6 pm. the president of the republic has signed a decree on partial mobilization. this is not the 1st time that either by john has violated the ceasefire. and the 3 party declaration adopted by russia as they are by johnny and armenia missile defense. he held a briefing for local journalists and he informed them the operation actually was launched as a response to it. by over the years or mean on

forces to capture the strategic, how high or good mountain range and this school person warm to d. r means i called from now on any tours and publications committed to the sovereign in the sovereign territories was a suppressed response measures will be even more crush washington's brand of increasingly real politics foreign policy as seen the us approved new on sale to saudi arabia, to counter iran, as well as criticizing the recent constitutional voting shanicea while supplying arms to tunis out is caleb now pen digs deeper into the story. washington is always extolling values of democracy. regime change operations are presented as defending freedom and opposing dictatorship. this is caused us officials to call

out some of their allies. here's what joe biden said about saudi arabia. we were not going to in fact, sell more weapons to them. we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact, pariah. they are tough talk for sure. but that hasn't stopped them from selling huge amounts of weapons to re odd. the proposed sale will improve the kingdom of saudi arabia's capability to meet current and future threats by replenishing it's dwindling. stock of patriot jam t missiles, the new weapon, the sales to this so called pariah add up to roughly $3000000000.00. the united states has also been critical of tunisia. we strongly support the democratic aspirations of the tunisian people and inclusive and transparent reform process is crucial to restore the confidence of the millions of tunisians w h. o. e either did not participate in the recent referendum o r opposed. the new constitution. tunisia has experienced an alarming erosion of

democratic norms over the past year and reversed many of the tunisian peoples hard one gain since 2011. but again, criticism of tunisia is secondary to a large flow of us arms sales to the government of tenicia from u. s. weapons manufacturers. many in the united states were hoping joe biden could convince saudi arabia to increase crude production output and drive the price of oil down. now, saudi arabia will be increasing output a little bit, but not enough to drive down the prices for september. now, while the oil may not be flowing as desired, us made weapons certainly are makes you wonder what the priorities of u. s. officials really are. caleb martin, r t new york. karen chi tough. sky retired u. s. a. force, the tenant colonel says use policy is next about promotion, democracy and more about the existing global influence and power protection. i

think the hypocrisy does lead to a drop in trust, but i don't think there's that much trust there to begin with. i think the saudi government understands exactly what they're dealing with with the united states. i follow the money. i think the defense industry is the biggest export that the united states has even bigger than energy and even bigger than agriculture. and tunisia specifically is an example of a country that has been extremely useful to the united states, certainly as a recipient of military hardware. america's role in the world to, to control things to interfere with countries that are doing what we tell them to do. this is where fundamental power is exercised politically in this country. and so they're not about democracy. they are about influence armed sales and having allies that will obey ah,

moving now to have gone on where security was heightened incumbent on wednesday, following the assassination of the al qaeda leader. i'm an out as our hearing in the u. s. stone. strike the attack rock the center of the afghan capital last sunday. reportedly a drone fire 2 missiles at the al qaeda leda as he stepped on to the balcony of a house where he lived with family members. a telephone spokesman described to us operation as a violation of international principles. the state department warned american citizens traveling overseas of possible retaliation by al qaeda and its supporters . we heard from christopher hilary, analytical analyst. i'm a searcher who says that the drone strike happened at a time when biden is trying to boost his poll numbers for the upcoming midterm elections. i think this strike approves that the chickens are coming home to roost, as they say. it's funny to see this is the ca killing as our kiddy when it

was the ca that help support them, which had been against the soviet union who were invited and got to stand to prevent this kind of chaos. and now we've seen all these decades. you know how things will probably blow back how it comes back. but i think ultimately this was done. who knows how long they knew that he was in this obscurity, neighborhood. some have claimed that only the county network knew about it. but i think that may be, it is the upper, it's opportune time with the election coming up in the mid term and with the escalation, both in ukraine and in taiwan now that bite and chose this time to allow for the strike for domestic consumption to help push up his abysmal poll numbers, though i don't think it will help very much moving now to africa, where the continents largest exporter of natural gas is seeking books membership.

algeria, president recently expressed interest in joining the group of nations, stating the country miss the conditions to join the alliance. our correspondent baba left allah in south africa, explains why many countries have stayed largely neutral over the conflict and ukraine. and what benefits the bricks. membership brings south africa was the last nation, leaped into the bricks club, back in 2011. since then other countries, especially those on the african continent, are also vying in to join. here is the view of one of the richest countries on the continent. we need bricks firstly, because it allows us to move away from the attraction of the 2 poles. and secondly, we're a leading country in the non aligned movement. therefore, god, granted, this will be our way out. daria is just the latest strategically important country

to one to join bricks, egypt, iran, turkey, argentina, as well as saudi arabia. i also came to become members of the slap. why now you as well the confrontation in ukraine has really cut a line between east and west with clearing differences. the global south and east have mostly chosen not to take the thunder of antique russia sanctions. instead, they have chosen the path of neutrality, but they also see this moment for what it is historic and opportune to join with friends and partners. and they also are tired of that line from washington and go. that says you are either with us or against us, the national security adviser and our delegation raised directly. and very clearly our concerns about the p r. c. support to russia in the wake of the invasion and

the implications that i any such support i would have for the p r c's relationship. not only with us, but for its relationships around the world that includes our allies in partners in europe. and in the endo pacific plus, president putin and other lead us of the alliance have already stated publicly. that bricks, prov, live every liable economic ally of an alliance. that will not interfere with a country sovereignty, but would rather focus on areas of mutual economic benefits. so rather than freeze acids, all put sanctions on a country, they will focus on areas of mutual cooperation. the overwhelming majority of the world's countries do not want to live as if the colonial times are back. the vast majority of states, one to be independent, one to rely on their own traditions and to rely on their own history and their old

friends. by continuing on the path of cooperation and bringing in new members, bring believe it can achieve great things. i mean, just look at the numbers. the brick block and is g d p would be around $24.00 trillion dollars. the bricks group of nations are also mentally and doubt. they have oil, they have mineral, they have cold, they have gas. and then when you add saudi arabia and algeria into the mix, the possibilities could be even greater than ever. imagine. we discussed the percent perspective of all j with membership, with the president of the books international forum. for nema i'm none, and a professor at the university of to 100 the patrick bond. ideas ready, and then when they are joining, they will be the team maker for shifting all our energy east new system. it's gonna come me traditional control. how did you manage this?

some of the dollar is going back and money can also come together and it will extend that group benji's group off of the gun countries in law, which is very important because the, the, the bricks is coming up with new power in new northern african countries. and legend, american countries under the influence of song and europe in countries. and they did not get very or not most feared to grow these countries that had any problem all or lack of skiing and will stream problem is big country. this problems are not the, they are having their standards and article

level that play the object to what they. it's a very much a signal that the western alliance that it's had really for decades is now too stressed and much of north africa. and indeed, many emerging economies are going to be faced with this choice. i mean, argentina and iran. and the big question is whether the chinese invitation to other countries, even saudi arabia, which is had its difficulties with us. will this be attractive if western had gemini is threatened? if the u. s. dollars becomes less viable? the bricks may be seen as an alternative power base. you know, pac hasn't been doing a very good job and job. i've been trying to get that haven't been prominent, be saudi back into the western camp and not moved into alliance with china and russia. that's a very big push. well that brings us to the end of this bulletin from all stories

and breaking news head to our website at r t e dot com. i'll be back the team at the top of the hour with more updates until then say 10 movie ukraine in a big and rich country. that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently . 2014 a qu, divide to ukraine and leads to fratricidal war. and don last a war that continues to this new.
