we choose to look for common ground in the mainstream narrative on ukraine get shaken up by the un, which admits that many more refugees have been coughing into russia and having what you implemented. emergency plans, a slash gas consumption by 15 percent to compensate to the energy crisis and all street and presidential candidate tells all teeth in europe. the policy of functions against russia is to blame that a skew, the phoenix, and that is what currently characterizes the europe being the leaf ski. the south africa won't be pushed around just the message from the countries talk. diplomats it comes with washington. try to woo africans away from cooperating with russia and

china. the very will welcome this is the international with the latest world news update. it's good to happy with us as out of head of try me as a one person has died and 6 people, including a child have been wounded. that's off the several. ation on this detonated as a military stop policy and feel they were public beach in crimea versus defense ministry phase. the site was not fired upon huge plains of smoke with the over the area immediately after the explosions. ambulance crews on the medical flights were rushed to the scene. the head of crimea is also that to monitor the situation in person. the part of crimea where the explosions are ups, it is a popular tourist destination the un has revealed it. almost 2000000 ukrainian refugees have crossed into russia

since the stars of the military operation in february of flies in the face of the mainstream. with a narrative which came the crania and the russia as an enemy and fox, the number of people who fled the fled to the west into neighboring poland is much smaller. at 1200000. and now even some anti washing media outlets are starting to wake up to the reality on the ground, as ortiz, rachel blevins explains the same western media outlets that acted as if the current conflict between russia and ukraine started only this february are now starting to acknowledge that the ties are much more complicated than they care to explain up until this point. the message has always been that the ukranian people were against any sort of russian leadership and want to clear cut ties between themselves and their neighbor. however, here's cnn's new report waiting and waiting families, pirates possessions, loading them down. cool. crossing to the russian occupied territory. as the cnn

reporter described, dozens of cars were traveling into russian controlled areas. and the traffic was heavily one sided and was some people who were interviewed claim. they planned to return the possessions family members and even pets they took with them suggested otherwise. while the reality may come, as a surprise to some in the west ukrainian soldiers on the ground in the eastern parts of the country have admitted that some residents aren't happy to see them saying they're waiting for the day when russian forces take control. instead with circles and he's not the only one mother soldiers on the ground claimed residence in eastern ukraine, we're actively helping the russian side by giving them information to see a global i'm to see. and then we'll do with this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows the region in its history. nearly 40 percent of the

people in the don bass are ethnically, russian, making them the largest minority in the region. and it's the eastern regions of ukraine, where the majority of the population list russian as their native language have traditionally voted for pro russian parties and saw pro russian rallies after the key of coo and 2014. meanwhile, the united nation says that nearly $2000000.00 refugees from ukraine have gone to russia since the start of the year. but does make claims for the pentagon earlier this year that moscow was deporting civilians from ukraine and forcing them to come to russia. some of the residents on the ground tell a different story. good when you look the movie years, isn't it what you mean? the even for those

who remain in ukraine, a strict curfew is in place and some eastern cities and zalinski secret service has recently stepped up the hunt for anyone. they view as a trader or a russian collaborator in fact. so, and he seems to be finding collaborators by the hundreds lately, and last month p. and now it's more than $650.00 criminal treason, cases against individuals within his prosecutor's office and the secret service. but as long as he ramps up his targeting of anyone who speaks the russian language or appears pro russian in any way, he turns the ukrainian government into the very thing that both crimea and don bass originally sled from in 2014, no matter how hard the media has work to cover up his treatment of the citizens who see the russian forces as bringing an end to the regime that they have lived under for the last 8 years. with human rights advocate, marcela ferrara,

denali said millions of russian speaking ukrainians are fleeing from oppression. bike here may ration with the granite age and wish you seeing going to the russian federation are, are russian is speaking. people in the main, i would suppose the other thing is that they have experience in my vehicle. the experience, the guy know, given nation exist sergeant by young goldman, ange that on bus population that has been going on for years. this must be a consequence of that long processes, and this is not only triggered by their current conflict. they believed that there is just to be cation with the russian

federation, who is also going for this occasion, a nation that they would regard not that they are their home, the home country. europe's energy policy towards russia. a skiff for frantic south, according to austrian presidential candidate, job growth speaking to r t. he says that he was pending the blame for his energy crisis on moscow instead of admitting that europe's own sanctions. also, blaine basically also broke down the situation for local media. last week, oh, i see me get dirty boy carrie mill homes and she may get burns if we can't gas mill . hello. well, that's home denser. yeah. crowns. younger guys. oh guys. my company in a sense of you cannot do without energy on one hand and then complain about the

lack of energy and fear, black out on the other speak of the devil. and the devil shows up that esc is a freak. and that is what currently characterizes to european elite skis of freedom, yet they are in favor of sanctions against russia. on the one hand there waging their economic war against russia because of military conflict, that in reality, does not affect europe in any way. and on the other hand, they complain about the reaction to the economic war. namely, the lack of guess, guess is not only used for heating, but guess from russia, which we have received for the last 50 years, is also used to secure the electricity supply. this means that if you want to secure the supply of electricity on the european continent, then we must also an economic sanctions against russia and try to restore a reasonably satisfactory solution for the people through diplomacy. as comes as the e u is implementing its energy and the urgency plan, according to the measures,

the blokes members ought to reduce gas consumption by 15 percent on a voluntary basis until the end of march next year. the goal is to say 45000000 cubic meters of das, creating the option of falling back on reserves in case of a shortage on to contribute to rachel. marston explains europe is only just starting to experience the effects of its own sanctions. it seems like a slow motion car crash here in france already. for example, we're seeing public officials using the e u engineer gas shortage as an excuse to reduce public services. now, public swimming pools, both near paris and in the south of france, have made news recently when local governments said that they were shutting them down for the rest of the summer to save money. the mare of catherine. yes. which is in the south of france said the high costs now mean that she has to choose between purchases like organic food for kids, school lunches, or the pool. so the pool got the axe during one of the hottest summers on record.

so you can see the ball is already rolling on rationing, even in anticipation of a shortage later this year. and we haven't even begun to see where the knock on effects might pop up. now to make matters worse, norway, which is otherwise known as europe, battery, produces hydro electric energy that it typically exports to the you and to the u. k . but now it's saying that because it's lacking water because of the dry and, and heat. and now feels that it will be able to step up and help with exports this year. and just when you think that things couldn't possibly get a worse, the financial times is now reporting european utility companies like frances energy giant, who they f, are sounding the alarm over radioactive, contamination of liquefied natural gas deliveries from britain to the u. i originally sourced from the usa cutter. the problem could to cause pipelines

between britain and the e to close. and the new york times is reporting that the looming energy crisis is causing germany to reconsider and nuclear energy. a power source over which berlin has absolutely lambasted paris for maintaining. so i guess better, send gretta timber over there to yell at them. maybe perhaps she can beat zalinski in a streaming notch because really all of this economic and environmental harm, including refusal to fire up the north stream to pipeline, which let's face, it's just sitting there, gathering dust is being done in the name of ukraine. i say yes, the government rules it out. we face difficult months ahead. but it is clear that we stand firmly on the side of ukraine and we stand behind the sanctions that we agreed together with the european union in the international community. and noticed europeans who are suffering, but also folks in the global south. europe is also apparently dragging along countries like pakistan and bangladesh behind the energy price roller coaster. the

fact that emerging countries in south asia, like pakistan, for example, are currently experiencing one power blackout after the other is also a consequence of europe's failed energy policy. in its attempt to free itself from its dangerous dependency on russia. record speed, the u as causing massive turbulence on the global energy markets, which hip poor countries particularly hard, but at least europe is united, right? well, maybe not counting those opting out from the gas cuts or poland, which wants the rest of europe to keep their hands off polish guests. russian president vladimir putin may not be quaking in his boots at all this stellar competence, but europeans sure might be as winter approaches. you mentioned earlier, the eas anti washer sciences have spread an energy crisis beyond europe to regions as far as way away. a south asia where mass proto, sub routed in bangladesh, hundreds of demonstrates to take into the streets of the city of dhaka to quite

foul over the government's failure to cover 50 percent hike and fuel prices. some of the protest this of set fuel stations on fire police on the street to try and quote the unrest. dozens of demonstrators have reportedly been injured in clashes. the government is considering a series of measures to overcome the crisis, including a request for a $4500000000.00 bailouts from the international monetary funds. we got reaction to the crisis in bangladesh from to experts. he said that governments with phones could have seen implemented very differently. so if the global market situation stabilize farther than i think, room to decrease when president, when, however, if the price goes high again, then definitely this will have an adverse effect in bio coding. governments will have to increase in price to match with the situation. so i think the government

would have more ration at this point rather than improving it 51 percent. it could have been a bit less in my opinion. this is so refers to you know, kind of global politics and lack of vision and farsightedness, that lack of dialogue and negotiation could result in the circles, implication. so these on the fly spent the whole, why do you think we should be open for dialogue in negotiation? and solution to reach any of the problem. we can't consider a single problem as we need to be a problem. so be coughing. this was nothing you seem to be this outrage from us republican officials over the asked the eyes rate on a private resort of ex president donald trump. he says his home was under siege after alleged attempts to which we've government documents. he kept for him,

south austin, leaving the white house. and it's going to d townes, my neo corresponding caleb moving. now caleb, get to see you. could you bring us up to speed face? well, it was a dramatic raid by us law enforcement or the department of justice and f. b. i. agents in florida went to the residence of donald trump at the morrow, largo club, and resorts out. where are you staying? and it appears they went through all of his possessions or they went through even his personal safe. now there's been a huge amount of outrage as the day went on monday. with the announcement of the raid, we saw trump supporters piling out in big numbers to show their support for the former president outside of his residence. and now we have many republican voices speaking up and calling this politically motivated. here's what we've heard. quinn, you have hillary clinton paying foreign agency, interfere with an election people lying on the rotor p 300 by doing crack on tape. and what happens, where are the federal agents?

you can't imagine what it would have ever happened to a democrat. this is where americans now begin asked the question, do we have a dual justice system in america? is there equal justice on the law? the rate of mary lagoon is another escalation and the weapon i zation of federal agency against the regime political opponents. while people i counter biden get treated with kids gloss how the regime is getting another 87 k i r s agents to wield against its adversary's banana republic. now it's important to note that while this was a search warrant that was approved by a judge that was being executed, people are looking on and seeing this as very selective people are looking at the fact that a apparently, the reported reason for these raids is somehow that trump was supposedly misusing classified information. however, i will recall the scandal involving hillary clinton server and which all kinds of classified information was put at risk and she experienced no such raid on her home

. people recall a jeffrey epstein and the allegations about his activities involving minors and prostitution and the sex ring, et cetera. and then how, while he didn't give the days prosecution for that, there was no such raid on his home. we do not see a dramatic incidents where there is billionaire was, was facing the force of government. and many people are looking at the hunter, biden's gander, which mainstream media at 1st dismissed as a conspiracy theory. and then all of the shady dealings that were revealed by under biden's laptop showing all kinds of activities. the president, son joe biden, son, was engaged in and saying, where, where is the justice, how you recall what cnn's very own brian set statler said he had dismissed the laptop scandal as a conspiracy theory. use what he said. what about hunter hunter under federal investigation charges? can we come in at any time? this is not just a right wing media store, is a real problem for the biden's. well,

what do hunter biden? hillary clinton and jeffrey epstein have in common? they were all democrats, and apparently of that got them immune from this kind of treatment at the hands of law enforcement. however, people are looking at the situation with donald trump and saying this could indeed be politically motivated. people are recalling the recent letter from senator grassley regarding the at the i and how the f b. i disregarded the revelations of hunter biden's laptop, even though they turned out to be credible. it wasn't a false story. this is what senator grassley wrote and he's open letter to the f b. i concerns that i have raised for many years about political considerations infecting the decision, making process at the justice department and f b. i. if these allegations are true and accurate, the justice department and f, b i r, and have been institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the united states congress and the american people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. it appears that, wow,

there is questions being raised. it appears that this was politically motivated that we're hearing from donald trump, who says that the motivation was the fact that he is going to most likely and it appears there's may indicators that he's going to run for president. and this is intended to prevent him from running for president against biden, in 2024 am. and donald trump sees this as politically motivated aimed at keeping him. i'm returning to the white house. many see this is fitting an ongoing pattern of the partisan actions of u. s. law enforcement at the federal level. tell him anything to that report. i thought he's kind of moping reporting to his live at from new york in kenya pose have closed off to san 20. 2000000 locals voted for their new president. policy f reports from the ground melding station in kenya. around 22000000 people are

eligible to vote in these elections with the issues caption, uncover, t, unemployment and corruption. the main reason as to why that when these a would you say make sure one, they're going to make statistics beatty for, you know, account. secondly, we have one for these a, let's you him to have in mind that a pretty id would you be lacking, but our country has been affected vastly by this a drug called corruption. corruption is what does kill to this country? because you see we have a laurel view, my, a lot of natural resources in this country, but because the of it corruption antibodies, a plan where more than a 1000000 people survive on a dollar a day election posters. it's promising change every way that many voters complain. it's the usual emptied promises from those vying for the top office. so who are the main faces in this race?

to weeks, nick and nicole in the latest figures give rayna. i think the leader of the opposition a clear lead. this is his good for the presidency and he's supported by the house going to place it in or who kenyatta? opposing him is william wooten, who appeals to the masses of frustrated young people. most of them clerk who just want to get ahead. trades on his rags to which the story that he once sold chickens on the side of the road. and is to day one of the wealthiest men in the country. but it's not going to be as easy for the new president to solve the issues now will be, for example, is the largest and most important financial business and consultation had in east africa with most of the trade east and for western countries who had the unmarked kenya, not only as a vital trading partner, but also a source of stability in

a volatile region. the race comes at an anxious time with the conflict in ukraine. the pandemic, the worst drought kenya has placed in for 2 years and the waste looking in the background. we will see how the new president deals with all this on his shoulders . policy or r t nairobi, kenya. 3 palestinians, including gay senior militant commander, have been killed off to israeli forces rated a house in the occupied westbank city of new blues. that's according to the palestinian health ministry. has some of the latest footage for missing the according to the idea, the latest class just develops when palestinian riot is 3 stones and explosive israeli forces. the palestinian red crescent says its doctors have treated 69 gunshot victims and then a boost area with at least 4 of them in a critical condition. this comes off to a cease fire booth and, and to 3 days of clashes between israel on the atlantic jihad militant group in

garza. and he is the latest footage from dogs. are showing the aftermath of israeli bombings that have ravaged residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure. there is really official claim that strikes were aimed at preventing rocket attacks, bobby islamic jihad group, palestinian officials say that over $600.00 buildings have been damaged with dozens killed and hundreds wounded. garza hospitals all still overflowing with civilian casualties. meanwhile, pro palestinian voices are being increasingly sensor on social media activists and slammed facebook instagram on tick tock for deleting bed posts. since the start of the year, the number of content take down request submitted by the israeli government has increased by 800 percent with the vast majority of pro palestinian posts on facebook and take talk all ready. removed. activists are crying foul over what they call biased content policies. the most recent case is related to

a deleted image of a 5 year old palestinian girl. he was killed by his radio. we can now cross live k mona. dia advocacy advisor at the arab center for the advancement of social media. many, thanks for joining us on the, the program mona. now some say that side and thing palestinian voices means that people all over the world on getting the full picture of what was happening on the grounding guns and the west bank. well, your take on the situation. yeah, thanks for having me today. actually, i do agree that since you quality invoices and planting palestinian voices had the banning gotham, our content is affecting how we can share with stories. how we can come in that way . crime violation that people are on the ground. as you mentioned, people in gaza strip, they were targeted over the past couple of days. and basically those targets a where basically a me targeting civilians where many of them were children. and one of the pictures

where child there and gaza was food on a on instagram. that means that the, the whole words cannot what's happening and doesn't. that means that our narrative is being twisted and line. and this contributes to silence. think our voices is to typing us on the top of that the senior cause has not being covered from the international mainstream media in a fair way. the there is usually like this kind of, of, of the notice that we do to the, are struggling on how the, how are coming palestinian voices. and sometimes it's just like victimizing palestinians and covering the news and numbers. so whenever we are trying to share stories of palestinians who were cold during those attacks, it's also from the social media companies and death means that this is like contributing to anything or voices and preventing us from document into human rights violations that we are exposed to and if we just see that in the,

in that in a larger context, we know that this has a bigger impact whenever, like we are talking with the international audience. whenever we're talking with a group palestinian audience who are trying to get to know what's happening there underground, they can get the full picture because our, our content is basically sensors and such kind of ship is basically affecting the whole narrative being thing. the whole digital activism and also affecting the work of the human rights organizations, which is also trying to the commend the human rights violations on the ground. what do you make of the efforts by the israeli authorities to get all these pro palestinian posts taken down? so as, as you mentioned from before, those, the facts we were basically targeting civilians. and this means that sitting such kind of of content is hiding their work. crimes that basically they are, they are trying to doing gaza strip or they did in gaza strip. and this basic

cleans hiding evidence for war crimes that they did. and this could affect also the international investigation. whenever that is international investigation, i get out. those were crimes of all those attacks that happened against civilians in gaza strip. so this is, this is basically what's happening and like in this field. but also on the other hand, when we are talking about like the digital crisis and extension for the human rights in the online space. and this means that today we have, we have a new pattern feed for our wars, which is basically the online platforms or the social media platforms. and this means if we don't have a pen union narrative, then there is a gap and the one who's filling this gap is the israeli narrative, or the israel propaganda. and this means that we don't have any kind of palestinian narrative, like which we just heard from the palestinian audience. i'm the senior activist and this is basically means that this could contribute to labeling palestinians and state i being policy is because it's ready to propaganda is usually doing like

smearing palestinians or students are being palestinians and such think is basically contributing or affecting. and that this kind of political, complex, political situation that we have been into for decades now, i understand that the company they work with is documented more than 1400 complaints of restricting palestinian related content. now have you pass that on to the necessary paypal and what does the response pay? yeah, definitely. heavily as addressed as partner for different social media platforms. and since the past year, basically since may 2021, when the may uprising happened, we've at and before that basically we were creating those cases, those who needed companies, many of those cases were restored because they will not be anything the community standard. and that means that the content is basically a documentation of a human rights violations or telling a story for the like, for people on the ground. and that's news like this. this should not be like

a violation for the community standards. and that said, that means like there is an over motivation of the palestinian content and on the migration of the other content, which is really content which has like we pointed out into that in our index of censorship. that basically is where it is our shooting case. speech violence, speech and incitement against unions, and ours, under social media platforms. and they probably keep a conversation. and those, those conversations are online, like they are paying a line. that means that there is on the enforcement for their conversations for the public conversations. and such thing is leading to idea what time because they are sometimes organizing attacks and makes it is against us and palestinian. while in any case they are taking down or they are over syncing over enforcing the condition of human rights violations. and such kinds of impertinence means like there is there. will it look like it will create a also it will affect the nurse had

a on the media platforms as well as this can lead us into a bigger thing, which as their commendation of the oversight board over the last year, which as they come into that they should be an investigation on how the content is being moderated and how the heap of content being moderated because of this kind of of censorship that we've been talking about. so now and now, and it's be like over when year and a half since may uprising down when you have and can. now we did then the, the and the 4th and mesa has postpone that to why the publishing be for so we are still waiting and we can't wait for it and the recommendations because we've been talking about that for years now. no, no, thank you so much. for speaking to us today, we've been speaking simona style advocacy advisor at the arab center for the advancement of social media. thank you for your time. thank you.
