a so many find themselves. well the part we choose to look for common ground, the breaking news, an artsy that's up nuclear power plant again comes under the shelling of ukrainian forces. according to the p. r. officials, the fresh assault came ours. they have a un security council meeting that's bringing attention to the long awaited grain shipments from ukraine bypass the hardest african nations where people are dying from unger adding instead to european estonia plans to close it. borders to russian citizens, holdings sion. again, visas issued by talent,

while the european commission also moses the idea continent wide. and while the us proves a new moment aid package for people from another country pump full of us. tasha dana sons name, they're not getting the same level of treatment as being handed to others. you premium siblings in their homes and they have homes. it seems that the behavior of the u. k. government is discriminatory and there is racism. here. the news from moscow to the world. this is art. see great to have your company today. my name ukrainian forces have once again shell the dumpster osha, a nuclear power plant, just hours ahead of a un security council meeting on previous attacks against the plant. according to local authorities, kiev stripped use multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery from the right bank

of the river. a member of the local administration. se ukrainian forces fired up the facility twice on thursday. r t acres. shutdown off isn't on bus and told me more. it is dangerous, it is alarmingly irresponsible because this time apparently the ukrainian forces have targeted the concrete storage facilities for nuclear waste. now of course, it is reassuring that those well facilities are made out of concrete because it's a good and steady material. we've seen it withstand a lot of damage here in the longest people, republican, the dawn bass basically, but it is not unbreakable, of course, and as well of these upper rows, your nuclear plant is absolutely massive. it's the largest one in europe. it is in the top 10 all over the world, so it does produce a lot of nuclear waste and these attacks, again, they're not the 1st ones. on the 5th and the 7th of august,

the ukranian side also targeted this facility, this nuclear power plant. and again, this was very dangerous and rush has screamed about its concerns. in response cave accused moscow of shelling its own positions basically creating a provocation, a causes belly for well for international condemnation. but rush of course had brushed aside these accusations, as the absolute nonsense has something ridiculous. and indeed russia has called on the un security council to urgently assemble to call on ukraine to stop these shillings of a massive nuclear object. and in fact, the u. n. a itself voiced concerns about the situation, even though it had previously blocked international atomic experts from visiting the plant. any a tech to a nuclear plant is a suicidal sink. and i hope that those attacks will end. and at the same time, i hope that i will be able to have access to

the plant and to exercise its meant its competition. so experts with a international atomic energy agency, they are voiced their well the, they express their readiness to visit the plant and to be this independent and uh, presumably unbiased eye on the ground for the international community. and are they even have, well, they decide they basically they changed their shed jewel and they expressed willingness to take part in today's a un security council. because again, the matter is very, very serious. these upper osha, nuclear power plant, it's capacities some 50 percent, more of that overture noble. so potentially the disaster could be much worse than the tra, noble one. and well, it is already a well, it is already a name known all the over the world. it's an international synonym for an absolute

nuclear catastrophe. here's how the russian officials described the potential fall out from you know, the worst case scenario. bombs exploded near the spent fuel storage facility, just 200 meters from the operating nuclear reactor is extremely dangerous and can end up terribly or military assesses that in case of a major accident at the plant. the area of radioactive contamination will be up to 5 and a half 1000 square kilometers. it can spread to more than 400 kilometers long. most of ukraine will be harmed, as well as tom bass, parts of russia and all the black sea countries. according to the ukrainian version, russia shells its own military personnel, which is absurd. i have no sensible explanation as to what ukraine is doing. it's adventure ism, and maybe it can be called nucular terrorism. so there you have it on the ground. the russian forces have beefed up at defenses to well defend the nuclear power plant, as well as possible, but the internationally they are moving forward with the un security council hoping

that here the international community stays responsible. now another potential disaster elsewhere in done yet has been averted. emergency survey, a hazardous situation is being brought under control after a local brewery was hit by ukrainian shelling damaging, and ammonia holding tank. well, here you can see the destruction, with military forces sifting through the rubble. a cloud of toxic gas earlier hung over the city. the shelling of the bery left one person dead and to injured ammonia, used by bery say in order to ferment beer can be deadly to both the environment on people. if leaked. the attack is the latest in a wave of targeted shelling of civilian infrastructure in done yes. well, i missed the rubble of the brewery of french miss file from expired. stocks was reportedly found near other ammonia tanks with some of the shells,

apparently not excluding. none of these ships, packed with ukrainian grain have reached southern countries, many of which are dealing with acute hunger. instead are heading to european ports . it's after months of western politicians putting the blame for africa, food prices sprightly on moscow, prompting doubts now and the sincerity of those officials. unfortunately not a single ship carrying grain has reached the starving countries of africa. so far. they mainly go to western ports and the range of exported cargo is mainly known wheat, the con grain in some flower oil, which cost out on the sincerity of the ccs voiced in the west that the world's food security depends on the grain deal is actually hard to believe, even after all, the hysteria and repeated western and key of calls to save african kids dine from hunger and all the accusations russia faced for creating this global food crisis.

but the facts speak for themselves. none of the shapes that so far have left. they unlocked ukraine in order to go into somalia, a job to any other african nation where the situation on the ground is very catastrophic. so where are they going? well, you will be surprised. you can, by the way, track and find old information about these shapes on the un official website, black seats, grain initiatives faction, while 2 of the shapes ago in pittsburgh team, one to england, another one to ireland, and others are headed toward a tally and china. so ironically, by the way, we've only seen so far, corn exports it, which is generally used to feed the animals and to produce bio fuel. new york times published a big investigation report recently. now explaining this, actually observed situation and question, why when and how did it all go wrong? because to remind you initially, the idea was different and here is america, secretary of state. let's take

a listen. the russian government continues spreading. does information about it's in justified wars disastrous consequences, including global food and security. the russian government should stop weaponized food and allow ukraine to safely ship out its grains, so that millions of hungry people in the middle east and africa can be fed in terms of reaction then because it is quite an abrupt turn of events from what you're seeing weeks ago, what's russia's view here? well, most go saying that they are hoping the best, but they are in fact, so far concerned about the implementation of the deal and not just regarding the destination of the food. the thing is that there were at least 2 agreement side, ines, east and will, 3 weeks ago between russia, turkey crane and the un one regarding the unlocking of 3, creating ports and allow in shapes with food to travel safely. and that was done. we've seen that, but there was another agreement regarding russian food and promoting 8 food and

fertilizers to the global market. and we haven't seen so far any step made to this direction. and these 2 agreements were in a package. so that means both of them are supposed to be implemented, but russia says that they are part is not touched at all, like i and actually that violates the conditions of the agreement. it's out well and another aspect of this is why was it so absolutely urgent to unblock these ukrainian ports? if we go back, i remember a big sticking point was the dean mining of waters off those number of ports. that's the question. if the grain wasn't even intended to reach nations in need, why such the clamor then we can say that something has changed to we now hear from the un that the deal signed in the symbol 3 weeks ago has already driven global food prices down. and that somehow will help, you know, starving nations gets their food actually. but of course,

this is not what we would expect from a huge deal between russia, turkey, ukraine, and the un. because again, the initial idea was to send food directly to the money to raise rome out. yeah, but that's not happening. and many now say that is disappointing. well, foreign corresponding on the editor martin j. believe the issue of grain supplies from ukraine has been covered by western media in a biased way against bosco. the narrative of western media is so secured and so biased and it's locked in as in a single, very monolithic narrative. the, everything on the russian side has to be gloomy, and everything we do in the western side is all right. and correct. and so i think it might have been down to for reporting might have been down to misinterpretation of the facts in the ground. but i still think some countries in africa will be desperately looking at how to get gray and quiet. we choose ukraine more russia.

they want to see in a few days. so those countries reaching out dumpsters like an island who got a grain and presumed new. we'll start to estonia, decided to close its borders to russian citizens holding shang again. visas issued by italian. the move will happen in a round a week's time. the european commissioners also said the issue of tourist visas for russians is now and their agenda earlier. the ukranian president, loving years and lensky, cold for borders to be close to all russians, seeing that quote they should live in their own world until they change their philosophy or to contribute original mars and offered her thoughts. whatever happened to that vaunted european unity that you officials have been celebrating recently? now suddenly there's little more than a shrug from the e. when one member state decides to discriminate based on people's nationality and background. what's particularity agree just about this kind of top level zealotry

becoming policy, is that it's a clarion call to systemic bigotry. everywhere else, here in paris, for example, to female russian visitors were denied entry by officials at the chateau, thus, en tourists site. at the end of july, french government had to clarify this week that the checking of visitors, id and nationalities only applies to actual military installations and not to tourist sites like museums and shad toes. but now we also have a german cabinet spokesperson confirming that a proposal to ban russian nationals from the e. u is actually under consideration. now it's all hypothetical at this point. it's important to underline that, but it still can't be rolled out since it's yet another demand coming straight from ukrainian president library lensky who tends to get a lot of what he wants from the west. and now zalinski is calling on the west to ban all russian travelers saying that they should quote, live in their own world until they change their velocity. jesse means also little kids and anyone in russia who might be a part of that civil society that supports him as well. or are they going to get

social passes? how is that gonna work? estonia and finland are also pressuring the block to authorize this bad. now, funny, remember how that you reacted when former president of the united states donald trump did exactly the same kind of thing in 2017 and signed an executive order to stop issuing visas to people from random lists of countries here shot around libya, north korea, somalia, syria, venezuela and yemen, citing national security. we do not discriminate on the basis of nationality, race, or religion. not only when it comes to asylum, but in any of our other polis, no one can be deprived of his or her own rights because of their place of birth, the religion, more than any city. this is written in our constitution, us both in europe and in america. this is who we are. this is our

identity. this is something we cannot forget. oh, it's the very identity. it's written in stone. it's written in the constitution, except now apparently you're going to make exceptions when it comes to ukraine and russia. so remember all those terrorist attacks in france a few years ago? not even at that time, was there a blanket ban from jihadist hotspots. it's always been a case by case assessment of each individual requesting a visa to travel, not an arbitrary blanket ban on a whole nation. and to do otherwise has always been viewed as totally contrary to the use own values. not to mention a pretty troubling precedent because, i mean, today it could be russian citizens, a national, some wrote could be any one else. they don't happen to agree with policy wise. but now, according to the use top diplomat, the e is apparently embracing the double standards that it once rejected because, well hey, that's just how the world is apparently resolving the situation with those people

trapped in an open air prison. which garza's is not in the hands of the you. it's a scandalous situation, a shame, but it's out of our hands. we are often criticized for having double standards, but international politics is largely the administration of double standards. we do not face all problems with the same criteria. so you know who needs values when you can just posture and blue v 8 depending on the direction of the political wind, it remains to be seen which of brussels faces will ultimately prevail on this particular issue. the one that defends its most basic stated principles or the one that hypocritical betrays them to virtue signal over the cause of the day racial morrison taken us through thought. i also got some reaction from arthur and global at 1st analyst george zamarelli, who believes eastern european countries pursues such aggressive anti russia policies in order to be rewarded. he believes by key western powers. i

think that the number of countries in eastern europe you have bought and paid for lee, that be more than paid for by western n g o z and by western governments. and they are actually paid to be actually hostile toward russia. they see this is a way earning money from key western powers pass. that's really the reason. so the more they are, the more they or was it because none of the, you know, that makes sense. if you talk about history, why i go around, guess what? grating read on the memorial war time cemetery, what do you get out? and i mean, it's, you know, that all of those events happened 8 years ago. all it does is, you tag isn't upsets the russians, but that's the way they do it. in order to please their payments, you know,

the more you and the more you upset than you are like it was that i really want to tell you, but this next story madrid's mirror has become the latest victim to get caught up by the infamous russian pranksters bovine and lexus. they pretended to be key for the tele glitch, butchering a video call among some extraordinary admissions. the spanish official pledged the persecute russians who live in the country. my opinion measures my opinion of measures regarding the russian citizens here in spain. i think it's necessary to punish the russian and of course we're doing everything to that end on the national and local level. still the men went to west instead of finding for your grade madrid, but with the partition of ukrainian men to crane. i think,

i don't think it's a problem for me address to send the cranium refugees back to the war in their country. i think it is necessary to provide more soldiers for the fight against russia. of course, madrid has all the means to provide the transportation to send these people back to ukraine, if necessary. for jose louis martin is, i'll make, you saw there are launched into an ex lease of written tirade against russians in the 17 minutes video call. you can read more on the price called r t dot com, which led to criticism amongst under to have call the official stand side rages. i in fact spoke to one of the frank surge earlier lexus told me, fooling politicians is not particularly difficult. who are not so really surprised because the europeans friend to punish the russian around all year or so just because my are from one,

the biggest capital european countries. so it was not real surprised. he was the most create the mayor that we have, reach them usually when we are each international politician usually in our private conversation, they say what they really think. so usually they are lying on tv, on media and they're trying to make a good reputation for them. but in fact, they think in other not the card was pretty even. we have brain many worldwide. i think the people to have the week more security. so i think we need problem psychology. no one's saying that he will be targets

or frank or something like that. the biggest problem only for process or organization by truck. so you can, you can make it folds only for all the process. but if you already go into the call, everything will be if i were you, chip was banned by the ministry of the defense of the u. k. because we praying their secretary for defense ben wallace. and you said that that was the reason for national security of the u. k. m g mand youtube, to been our channel ridiculous because it's the 1st time when the media through defense. so any country demanded to ban any youtube channel. ah, crying foul over what they say is discrimination,

african refugees in europe, claim they're not getting the same level of treatment. those. those needing help from ukraine, han and get if that monsieur muscular the i see the ukrainians are selling their homes and they have homes. we are not against the ukrainians, they are also refuges and have were in the country. they should be supported, but we want equal support to all refugees. and afghans should also have the same support. it seems that the behavior of the u. k. government is discriminatory and there is racism here. and the u. k. government gives 1st priority to korean refugees. even as we see in the street and bizarre, the koreans brought their personal vehicles to the k and are moving around. afghans don't get the same attitude as koreans get from the u. k. government. this is against human rights and against the refugee rights request from the united kingdom

government to implement the refugee law to all refugees equally. and give us our home soon. when a few days, the 1st on the 1st 3 of the withdrawal of us troops from afghan, this done will be marked up the situation for many of the people who were forced to flee the country remained on enviable. in april, the u. k. government launched the resettlement and aid to our policy. people were promised they'd receive housing within a month. but when the conflict in ukraine erupted, the process of providing accommodations stop to became very small. when off, the biden administration has once again up the anti non approved another $1000000000.00 military, a package for key and forces. that's a new report reveals washington send billions of dollars to quote miscellaneous undisclosed recipients, enough gala spent over decades raising concerns over where the money and weapon ship to ukraine might not end up here. so our team. rachel delivered yearly one

year after the u. s. military flag and disarray from afghanistan. a new report is shutting light on how much of the more than $2.00 trillion dollars and funding for the war went to shay the sources. when looking at the $108000000000.00, the u. s. paid out to contractors more than a 3rd of both. the domestic and foreign recipients are listed as undisclosed. these funds were distributed and spent with a significant lack of transparency. when the defense department registers certain contract recipients as undisclosed, or miscellaneous, it becomes difficult or impossible to track contract spending. so if the money went to undisclosed sources, then what was that really spent on and how much was used to fuel corruption? such questions appear to be nothing new for the ravaged country. it was occupied by the u. s. for nearly 2 decades, whether it was the afghanistan papers which were published by the washington post and then quickly forgotten about in the mainstream media or the annual special

inspector general reports which have shown misconduct and missing funds year after year. this latest revelation is just another reminder of the clear problems with contract spending by the us. it even sites a 2011 commission which found that at least 30 percent of contract spending was lost to corruption or waste. a reminder that this has been a problem for more than a decade, and nothing has been done to stop it. a sub contractor of lockheed martin submitted fraudulent invoices that resulted in over billing, the department of defense, millions of dollars. other examples include incomplete and shoddy construction of school buildings, warehouses, and other facilities. but just because the u. s. has declared is done with afghanistan, doesn't mean it's done with the habit of generously sending out billions of dollars and military aid with no oversight. instead, the focus has turned to ukraine, where the by an administration signed off on its largest package,

yet bringing billions of dollars in aid since the start of the year. and the few members of congress who have attempted to fight for any kind of transparency when it comes to how the money is spent, have been quickly shut down by the majority. i've been you crying twice now, and i haven't seen of evidence of a lot of this humanitarian assistance. there's no accountability we lost. what is it? $80000000000.00 worth of equipment we left behind in afghanistan. lord knows where this stuff is going to end up. if you want congress to continue to approve tens of billions of dollars, you need to show us how you are making sure that that money is spent responsibly. i mean, we don't get an accounting of where the money is, go away. so whether it's the u. s. government shrugging their shoulders as yet another report suggest rampant corruption and money laundering in afghanistan, or are fighting back against the possibility of such a report to exist when it comes to spending in ukraine. their actions and resistance against any form of accountability remain equally consistent and

unpunished. i think what we find when we look at how the pentagon in the state department both manage their money, it is deliberately hidden in many ways, very difficult to systematically track where the money goes. and i think this is done on purpose when you have money that can't be tracked, you have money that can be used for illegal purposes. and when i say illegal, contrary to what the u. s. congress has authorized that money to be used for this kind of thing is not just afghanistan, this is how the system works. and you cannot track where the money goes in. in any of the cases we would demand, if it was a private enterprise. if it was a company, a corporation conducting its books, we would demand accountability and transparency. but when it's the u. s. government doing it, we say, oh no, that's ok. we don't need that on his are up for this hour updates developments and

plenty more. besides, can always be found on our twitter page to give out green and black, our to logo follow. if you're not doing sol ready, it'll keep you in the no good by oh, in the unit i might have missed doors or you let me you got the battery on us ma'am. pretty l. and there we use it in the fit in the why nobody is going to put it on board that you feel in them is probably can mr. but actually which in law and go when you want to me in the room, when,

when mr. bishop rachel's got on back. there's really principles are still more to be returned with letters. thoughts saying you lost your music teacher. my senior missed me suddenly and i knew it just didn't order. i forgot what blown correspond on when you listed in the notes. but we did finish it, it was a little bit which reminded me, but on time when you now look for some reason you removed, annoyed me about that. you opened jania golf over to jeff miller pasta pasto. she's one of them about whether we're going to convey yeah, go over, let's try to get but why? because the way, when you get away side by side it will go

on. it's not right. and what about media at the 3 i was just on my way to a again, the one of the lower level of that is the only for the sister you watching it out, the more liberal around there, the move them behind us listening to my thoughts and knowing that the extra mile wide mobile venue a whole new new progression helps tail.
