this to finish the sewerage, no secret go. who's with is our top headlines on anti international nuclear disaster threatens the continent. at the ukranian military shells, europe's biggest nuclear power plant tool, according to russia's envoy to the united nations. the you foreign policy chief says politics are about quote, applying double standards as the block discusses of ban on visas for russians. the u. s. president comes in for criticism off of claiming and the countries and inflation rate is at 0 percent. despite statistic showing it's at a 40 year rec, or high with

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r t international. we've got your top stories life for this. so the threat of a nuclear disaster is real and the consequences are unthinkable if you creating a tanks on the separate ology atomic plant continue. that's all according to the russian envoys. speech of the un security council meeting that was urgently convened at moscow's request. yes, if i cancel bottles, if the attacks from the ukrainian army continue, a new killer catastrophe could happen at any moment than huge territories in ukraine, russia in europe will be under the threat of radioactive contamination. the real scale of a nuclear disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine, in this case, the entire responsibility for this will fall on the western sponsors of kiev. while at the 15 member body that leads the united nations, the un security council, in their chamber in manhattan, we heard from the representative of russia who raised the alarm about the dangers

posed by these attacks on this nuclear power facility. i emphasized the deals that russia has offered to secure this power plant to secure that we don't have some kind of nuclear disaster. now, when the representative of the united states took to the flora, basically the u. s. representative said that any potential fall out or danger from the tax on the nuclear power plant, they fall squarely on russia's shoulders, simply because russia is involved in the special operations. here's the response of the united states to what seems like a very clear dent. danger. the cause of the situation that is, if we ship facility is not a mystery, it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to further invade it, sovereign neighbor, ukraine, russia alone created risks, and it could eliminate those risks now by withdrawing from ukraine. now the russian representative talked about how this fits a pattern that talked about how the ukrainian forces will embed themselves into

civilian areas using civilians in effect as human shields. and this is essentially nuclear black males, an attempt to force the russian military out of a certain area. or else there could be some kind of disaster, which would then be blamed on russia, even though it is ukrainian forces that persist on escalating things near this power plant. now, it's important to know that the fact that russia is raising the alarm and has been raising the alarm about the dangers posed by attacks on this facility. man has been trying to get the international atomic energy agency involved in dealing with these threats for months and today at the un security council meeting, we heard the head of the i. e. a. he basically said that there is, at this point, no immediate threat. liang yes, there is no need to hear see how these group change a mom, russia and other countries like china called for

a d escalation, the situation and concerns about global safety. but from united states and its allies, we heard a mantra of blaming everything on russia, saying that there wasn't such a danger. but if there was the fall, i would simply be russia's fault. it seemed that the united states and its allies were not concerned about the potential fallout and seems to be using the danger of nuclear disaster as and measure or a wedge with which to try and pressure russia to withdraw from certain areas. according to local authorities, the power plant was attacked twice on thursday as key ebs troops reportedly used multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery from the right of bank of the de napa river. let us show in cambridge to ours before the un security council meeting on the issue. so ortiz correspondent and he could have donald reports from the ground . 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 as something ridiculous. and indeed, rushers cooled 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 matter is very, very serious. these approach you nuclear power plant, it's capacities some 50 percent more than that overture noble. so potentially the disaster could be much worse than the tra noble one. and while it is already a while, it is already a name known although over the world, it's an international synonym for an absolute nuclear catastrophe. 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. we've discussed the conflict with political analyst and economist martin armstrong. and he says the

ukrainian government for now is an interested in pace. i think that as long as it is a lensky is being supported with money and arms of from new nato, and we're including night states, then he has no incentive to to basically seek peace. i think that's the real problem. and when he ran, i think even russia was optimistic because he was saying that he wanted peace in against corruption. any everything. he said, you know, he's done exactly the opposite. i don't see him is doing anything other than you know, when the last ukrainian dies hop on a plane and live up very nicely in the bahamas or something. but why he's pushing his country into this. i don't see any logic to the

american javelin anti tank system may be less effective in combat than previously thought of. we got insight into a review paper by the weapons manufacturer, which raises questions into the systems reliability. and by the end of the day, its success rate as well based on observations over 3 brigade teams, training rotations, anti armor engagements are generally less effective than what gunners and leaders expect. these engagements are ineffective, primarily due to engage in a very short ranges. the lack of effective engagement development and a lack of operator mastery of the systems. the report indicates that out of 11 test launches only 3 hit the target. and while the advertised effective range is 5 kilometers in reality, it's half that. the analysis also says that while a direct hit against the rear of our russian t 80 would lead to a catastrophic kill. a frontal shot would have minimal impact. the low effectiveness is blamed on a lack of understanding of the javelins,

real effective range. the manufacturer also claims only highly, highly trained professionals that operate the missiles are captured soldiers in ukraine, whether weapon has been widely supplied, reported. they learn how to use the launches by watching youtube videos. as one of the world's most effective man, portable anti tank missile systems, scouts should be well trained in the employment of javelin. we attribute low effectiveness rates to a lack of understanding of engagement distances. and in sufficient detail and planning for employment of the systems, we spoke with brian valeca, j, a political researcher, and a writer who says that these weapons are only effective in the hands of trained professionals. say, receive these weapons. they attempt to employ them and it fails. and the media really talked off these weapon systems, the javelin, las things are, and then the triple 7, high mars. and he's,

he's are all very complex weapon systems on every fire. a huge amount of training, even according to the u. s. military who was using them at attempting to train their soldiers, that they have the time the space to do this. ukraine did not. and so this is just a, a huge waste of money for the american taxpayer is a huge windfall profits for the army manufacturers. i'm not sure if they actually expect to win this war. i think obviously there are special interests that are making huge profits. amid all of this, i think one of their objectives was just to believe russia destroy ukraine in the u. s. doesn't want competitors anywhere, not, not among their allies, and certainly not among their adversary. so just by getting everyone fighting, costing them blood and money, i think that is at least a minor success for them to imagine that this would have turned out much better. i think the 5 what, what we have seen historically,

in terms of us direct intervention and proxy conflicts that sponsored over the years none of the ships packed with ukrainian grain have reached the poorest countries. instead of heading to european boards of western politicians, half a month, put the blame for africa's food crisis squarely on moscow. 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 not weak . the con grain in some flower oil, which cost out on the sincerity of the seas, voiced in the west, at the world's food security depends on the grain deal. the vessels movements can be quite easily track of the un official website that shows the ships are not going to the middle east or africa. these 2 of them are heading to turkey, one to england, another one to ireland, and other the selling to italy and all the way to china. the cargo on board, the vessels is mostly corn, which has raised more questions under the agreement,

russia, ukraine, turkey, and the un agree to resume shipments, not only of ukrainian grain, but also russian food and fertilize exports. the u. s. said the deal would help feed millions of hungry people across the middle east. and we spoke with john las martin j who finds the geo politics surrounding this crisis. ironic at best i surprised to know because it's only been about 10 days. but when you look at who is making those calls, micro rate raising concerns about it, you have to understand the implications of a korean shorted a week shortage. and a lot of those countries in africa, we're looking at a rise in terrorism on massive grocery close to europe. so those were obviously concerns to you actually look at the politics and you take a big abroad, a helicopter view of what was going on in the last of the months. it was lensky. it would have profited so much by famines in africa, by insurgency,

an uprising revolution in north african countries. if, if food crisis had really broken out, you know, movies come to subsidize read, for example, would have been so lensky. you got more media attention. she craves more and more so it's kind of ironic to use diplomacy. chief joseph burrell has said that double standards are a common practice and foreign policy. the admission came as the official was questioned on western support for ukraine. 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, and some of the blocks member states appear to be following the same practice. this, as estonia applies to close its borders to russian citizens with a shang, getting visas issued by tollen. the european commission has also said the issue of tourist visas for russians is now on their agenda a. here's some thoughts and opinions from odyssey contributor rachel marston. 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 list of countries here. charge around libya, north korea, somalia, syria, venezuela and yemen, citing national security. but we do not discriminate on the basis of nationality, grace, 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, their religion, more than any city. this is written in our constitution, us both in europe and in america. this is who yada. this is our identity. this is something we cannot forget. oh,

it's their 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, here in paris, for example, to female russian visitors were denied entry by officials at the chateau val sen tourist 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 is 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 our philosophy. 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 blogs authorized this bad. 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 hypocritically betrays them to virtue signal over the cause of the day, madrid's maya has become the latest victim to get caught out by the infamous russian pranksters, bovine and lexus. deborah tended to be kias, my avatar eclipse coach during a video. cool. and among the extraordinary admissions made was a pledge from the spanish official to post acute russians living in the country. my opinion on the mesa's my opinion, measures regarding the russian citizens here in spain. i think it's necessary to punish these russians. and of course, we're doing everything to that. and on the national and local level, still, lot of men are, went to west, instead of finding for you, craig dandridge, help us with the partition of ukrainian man to craig. and i thing is not,

i don't think it's a problem for madrid to sunny 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. on mayor jose luis martinez, alameda launched into an ex fleet have written to raid against russians and a 17 minute video cole. you can read more about them. frank colon, auto dot com via conversation led to criticism among some spaniards who of called the official storms out rages. we spoke to one of the practice earlier that of lexis. he told us, falling politicians is not exactly hard work. who are not so really surprised because it's a europeans ran to punish all russians around all europe. so he's just a typical mayor from mom won the biggest capital european

countries. so it was not real surprised was, but he was the, the most crate, the mayor that we have reached, usually when we reach ah, international politicians, usually in our private conversation, they say what they are really thinking. so usually they are lying on tv, on media, and they're trying to make a good reputation for them. but in fact, they usually think in other uh, folds. it's not too hard for us. even we have brain many worldwide. i think the people to have the weak system of security. so i think it's a problem of psychology. no one's saying that he will be next targets or sprang call or something like that. the biggest problems only for

process of organizations. 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 huge, it was banned by. i mean it's true of the defense of the u. k. because we praying their secretary for defense wallace, and you said that it was the reef for national security of the u. k. n g mand youtube to been our channel. ridiculous because it's the 1st time when the mean it's true of defense of any country demanded to ban any youtube channel. ah, all right, not 20 minutes past the hour. here at moscow supplies of russian oil to the czech

republic through ukraine won't be restarted. it's comes off to the company that services the pipeline to prague didn't pay it's transfer fee as well. prague will still receive oil from russia through the north is coming through an oil pipeline in from poland. kia had early, a band oil deliveries through the southern branch of the pipeline transiting ukraine. as the terrorists were not paid by moscow due to sanctions. this led to hungarian and slovak companies, taking the matter into their own hands, paying the taxes themselves, and getting the confirmation that the supply route will be restored in just a few days. now the rouge but pipeline supplies serve while european countries providing thousands of barrels per day. the southern branch of the pipeline transits, ukraine and supplies the e u with about 10 percent of the oil. it buys from russia. the northern leger, the pipeline which runs through better routes, poland and germany has not been effected by the stoppage. the kremlin has said, sanctions are hurting the e. u. more than russia by limiting the entire blocks access to energy. or you could

speak to dr. georgia somali from the global policy institute of london, who says that europe proves again, that is politicians are the only ones to blame when it comes to the energy crisis. and the reach is that a very vulnerable because it's actually quite difficult to get the oil to the czech republic because we don't turn it to the check republicans that he would have to go through. usually very complicated process owner is actually in better shape because he can actually get the oil from probation. and so that's where the general public is more vulnerable. but all it's still, all he goes to show is that it's the european union that is messing around with the energy flows. european union that continues to accuse russia all playing games with energy weaponized the energy and denying the europeans,

the energy that they need. so it's clear once again that there should be no problem about the wild lows other than the europeans, but they said, oh no, no use on the transit. because that sanction, yeah, that story continues in the op add section, for example of oxy dot comments, where you'll see a lot of opinions being put out in a perhaps a lot of tempers flaring as well. have a look at our t dot com for the meantime. we are back soon with oh ah

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race who is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with one. no, no, not a little more real than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was

a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had every now and we'll go to production. i guess she'll she'll book a field to suddenly looking for a shield. he unmoved martha. she no longer thought this meant new against them all. why not? i've been there and i've got over much sale. or i'd go on monday. i wish to know about joy. oh, new feeding or gospel more or less than a jr. let's i had a puzzle, discard them whether or not but a bill could you could help us out. oh,

boy festival. to go on what the on this the wow she my indiana. oh, i can send more all shipment. good. so you don't the year you're not on the market . i think it is very chevy. canada hasn't been very good ah, to indigenous women and girls who have been missing or found. murdered because of the structural racism history. the corneal history. that canada hardwood indigenous people and communities. and it's a shameful history and a history that canada doesn't like to talk about. not until justin to those election in 2015 with a to blues of colonization, finally shattered her

on being elected prime minister. the young head of state give a message to the 1st nations community working together timely the government of canada. sincerely apologize, us and asks the forgiveness of the aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them so profoundly for have to apologizing to residential school victims. the prime minister tackle the scandal from a song for many decades, indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared, suffered violence, or been killed. it is shameful. it is absolutely unacceptable,

and it must end for the 1st time in the country's history, he acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to the prime minister. 6 just and trudeau has raised the hopes of an entire people. but indigenous women are still dying. ah! after all the promises, grieving families expect actual because most cases are never settled. i wanna make at least a 100 of these little things, maybe more red dresses to denounce the murders and disappearances. i know has been affected by this sad reality. her niece died 4 years

earlier, found murdered in the basement of her house, the filled forever show, or the case has never been solved. when a big police are important. another call for public assistance in a definite but woman more than 7 months ago. and you went to a didn't the mation this call is asked to call investigators. that's it. this year will be 4 years that she's been, but they said they're they notified a family all entire and they don't notified a family in the and her family refused to admit defeat. they will not let it go. oh wow.

and betty is fighting for the truth as well. for her the scandal of fem aside is a personal issue. her sister died 4 years ago under suspicious circumstances . she was found by a person that was walking her dog in this area here. we were told that she had been there for possibly for 2 days. we don't know what happened ever since then ever since may 2016 we been looking for answers the.
