[000:00:00;00] the top headlines right now here on our end to national nuclear disaster threatens the continent is the ukrainian military shells, europe's biggest nuclear power plant. and that's all according to russia, as envoy to the united nations. the e u foreign policy chief says politics are about quote, applying double standards as the block discussed as a ban on visas for russians. the u. s. president comes in for criticism off the claiming the country inflation rate is 0 percent. despite overwhelming number showing it's a 40 year record,

hide. the worldwide headlines live from moscow. this is all the international. it's great to have you with us today. well, the threat of a nuclear disaster is real. the consequences are unthinkable if indeed ukrainian attacks on the upper she 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. just like yourself levels. if the attacks from the ukranian army continue, a new killer catastrophe could happen at any moment than huge territories in ukraine, russian, 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 representatives of the united states took the laura, 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 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 den. danger the cause of the situation at is if we ship facility is not a mystery. it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to further invade. it's sovereign neighbor, ukraine. russia alone created risks, and it can eliminate those risks. now. my 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 a e a. he basically said that there is, at this point, no immediate threat. liang yes,

there is no need to hear seen are these group change a mom, russia, and other countries like china called for a di escalation, the situation and concerns about global safety. but from the 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 seemed 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. we spoke with brian, but let's take a geopolitical research on writer. he says that the u. s. is ready to invert reality to meet its narrative. it's the united states that they're proxies and ukraine, being unable to produce any sort of result from the battlefield. so they're resorting to other, other options and in this case, nuclear black. now this is

a familiar pattern for anyone who has been following u. s. foreign policy. this is why this is what they always do. they make these ridiculous claims because what they're trying to do is in reality to suit their own interests. and when the u. s. is making claims like this and not providing any evidence, we could almost always assume that it's the exact opposite. and in this case, there is actual evidence that it's ukraine not, not russia doing this shows how reckless and how desperate the west and their proxies had become. well, according to local authorities, these only nuclear power plant was attacked twice on a thursday as key of troops reportedly used multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery from the right bank of the janetta river. the latest shelling came just hours before the un security council meeting on that very issue. and it is iraq, don off now, 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 gave 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 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 matter is very, very serious. these approach you nuclear power plant, it's capacities some 50 percent more of that overture noble. so potentially the disaster could be much worse than the tro, noble one. and while it is already a well, 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 internationally, they are moving forward with the un security council, hoping that here the international community stays responsible. we discussed these

issues. he's very wiring issues with political analysts. martin armstrong, who says the ukranian government for the time being is an interested in peace. i think sad as long as it is, the when ski is being supported with money and arms of from new nato and we're including 9 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. and the 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 use foreign policy. chief, joseph burrell says that double standards are common practice in international politics. the admission came as the official was questioned on the block 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 that you use a member states appear to be following the same practice. this as a stony plans to close as borders to russian citizens with a shank n visas issued by tollen the european commission as also said the issue of tourist visas for russians is now on their agenda. let's get some thoughts and opinions. now. his art 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, somali assyria, 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 policy, no one can be deprived of his or her own rights because of their place of birth, their religion, or then nicety. this is written in our constitutions, 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 tomorrow, 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 advice sen . 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, spoke to person, 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 zalinski 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 part of that civil society that supports him as well. or are they going to get special passes? how is that gonna work? estonia and finland are also pressuring the block authorized to span. so you know who needs values when you can just pastor 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. the mayor of madrid has pledged to persecute russians living in spain. the spanish politician has now become the newest victim to get caught by the infamous russian pranks, joseph lavonne, and lexus. during that coal may i jose, and luis martinez on may the shed his position on russian citizens and spain, claiming that they quote, should be punished with this time the pranksters pretended to be the mayor of kiya of the box. if a tale kitch co, during their exchange, my opinion on the mesa is my opinion, a 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 end on the national and local level. still, a lot of men are went to west instead, we're finding for you great damage. rich help us with the debarkation of ukrainian

man through craig. i think it's more, 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, just the matter. it may launched into an expletive, written tirade against russians in that 17 minute video cole. you can read much more about the prime colon auto dot com, or the conversation did lead to some criticism among spaniards who had pulled the official staunch, outrageous for we actually spoke to one of the pranksters earlier that of lexus. he told us, floating politicians is not particularly difficult who are not so really surprised because it's a europeans friendship boyish all russians around all europe. so she's just a typical mayor from mom,

one of because her cabinets are low european countries. so it was not real surprised was, but he was the, the most great, the mayor that we have reached. usually when we reach an 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 another of folds. it's not hard for us. even we have brain many worldwide, but 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 she will be next targets

or sprang call or something like that. the big problems for all these process, but if you already go into the call, everything will be fine. our youtube was banned by the ministry of this 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, us president, dr. barton has been facing sharp criticism. all of this over his recent announcement on the issue of a u. s. inflation. actually, i just want to say

a number 0 today. we received news that our economy had 0 percent in place. 0 percent of the announcement came just hours after the federal consumer price index data showed inflation in july, dropping slightly to $8.00 and a half percent from $9.00 in june. that figure that was still a 40 year record for the u. s. economy. living costs are on the rise across the board. and biden's comments certainly sparks and criticism from various quarters ridiculous. bullshit from the white house, there's 8.5 percent inflation and basically everything anyone ever buys went up in price. this is just cruel gas lighting from the bite and administration. okay, super quick note on biden's claim that inflation is 0. it's a bogus math trick. joe biden claims multiple times that there was 0 inflation in july. absolutely false. year over year inflation was 8.5 percent in july. we spoke with the editor for reactionary time school out of ada. he says the biden administration,

facing of the looming mid term elections is really struggling with rising prices right now. levels not seen for decades. this is a desperate democratic party that has an important election coming up in a couple of months and they're trying to spin this in any way they can to try to make the economic number seem positive. but the truth of the matter is the all items less food and energy has risen 5.9 percent in the last year. the food index has risen 10.9 percent. that's the largest 12 month increase in 1979. are the energy index is increase 32.9 percent. and obviously the 9 point one percent inflation in june was actually the highest since 1981. it went down slightly year over year or to the point 5 in july and they're claiming this or the victory. but the fact of the matter is americans are suffering. the price of

everything is going up democratic party, i think has a little bit of a bad reputation right now. i mean, they're not doing anything on the economy is bad. you know, the gamma stand pull out was disgraceful. you know, the cost of gas at the pump, the cost of items at the retail level, american prestige. i think it down. it's a shame that america has to be embarrassed by having this type of a president. cathy with us here for the program on our international. the syrian oil ministry has publicly choose the united states of stealing its oil. the amount of oil production during the 1st half of 2022 amounted to some 14500000 barrels. us occupation forces and their mercenaries steal up to 66000 barrels every single day from the fields occupied in the eastern region. in its statement, 7 officials branded american lead troops as an occupying force. it is being

reported that the u. s. is responsible for the theft of $105000000000.00 of oil since the beginning of the war, according to local reports last weekend alone. so dozens of us army tankers smuggle oil out of the country straight into northern iraq. the russian president vladimir putin has also recently called on the us to stop exploiting, serious natural resources are economic consultant. i mean a are you says u s. involvement and regional conflicts has for years. just the stabilize the whole region. we actually count all those years since the conflict started and has to the us actually got people figure might actually be correct because the oil industry and serial. although the production only represents one percent of the world production, it actually was a $1000000000.00 industry. while that's the main problem, and this is what's actually russia actually vetoed last month on the, on the new and the resolution for a to syria,

which actually comes in every year. will actually do you have symbol in many conflicts in the region actually prove before that there were not very efficient insolvent, local issues, the american model of democracy actually failing in the region. and a lot of initiatives actually failed, including again, standing iraq and known syria. well, no surprise there is no let up in the current tensions between china and taiwan. you know, the foreign ministry of the self ruled island has publicly rejected beijing's revised proposal of a one country to systems solution. they said thompson, taiwan resolutely rejects the idea of one country to systems. only the people of taiwan can decide their future. well, the future of taiwan is within china's borders. that's according to beijing position. publishing

a new white paper. official document says taiwan has never been a state and its status as a part of china is undeniable. beijing also withdrew its previous dance on not sending troops or administration officials to the island and asian affairs analyst have benjamin chow believes that hello sees a visit to taiwan was a direct provocation to be existing status quo. i want does not have much to say on this issue almost all countries into, well, even the u. s. and the united nations open the support at the one china policy. that is, there's just one, china and power is part of it. so the one country to system solution really shows who can secrete sincerity of fe, jane to maintain the lifestyle of taiwan as much as possible. pelosi, which is a highly responsible move. she wants to leave her legacy as the democracy. democracy while are completely ignoring the fact that writers in the capitol hill

when by the one the election impact in the country will be consider coin call beautiful scene, you know, language to show support of democracy. so this topic stand and he policy, since she's 2nd in line to see their presidency. and as to how speaker a visit represent the office official staff. and that does represent holloway of the one china policy and supplies of russian oil to the czech republic through ukraine. will not be restarted, that's comes off to the company that services the pipeline to prague didn't pay as transfer fees. a prague will still receive oil from russia, from the north, through an oil pipeline coming in from poland. a key i've had earlier banned all 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 slogan companies taking the matter into their own hands, paying the taxes themselves and getting the confirmation to supply root will be restored in

a few days of the drudge by pipeline supplies. several european countries providing thousands of barrels a day. the southern branch of the pipeline transits, ukraine, and supplies the e. u with about 10 percent of the oil buyers from russia. the northern leg of the pipeline which runs through about the roofs, poland and germany has not been effected by the stoppage kremlin, has said that sanctions are hurting the e. u much more than russia by limiting the blocks access to energy. and we discussed this with dr. george muley, of the global policy institute of london. he says that europe proves again that it's politicians are the only ones to blame when it comes to the ongoing energy crisis on the continent. you're probably getting very vulnerable because it's actually quite difficult to get the oil to check. the alternative, the check republic is that it would have to go through. usually very complicated

process owner is actually in better shape because you can actually get the oil from probation. and so the channels where the general public is more vulnerable, but all it's still going 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 is clear once again that there should be no problem about the lows other than the europeans from his own. i know you saw the transit because that sanction the u. s. a secretary of states tour of africa is continuing with it. rwanda being relate to stop. but 20 blinking says the us doesn't want to force the continent to pick sides and

geopolitical issues. african nations have been treated as instruments of other nations progress rather than the authors of their own. the united states will not dictate africa choices and neither should anyone else. but lincolns ter follows hot on the heels of the russian foreign minister, sort of a lover of who just wrapped up a meet and greet to all across the continent. the u. s. official has been trying to rally support on the african mainland in an attempt to limit russia's alleged creeping influence across the region. however, the south african foreign minister for one. so the country had not come under any pressure from muslims about human rights. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally a really unfounded under a, at thomas allison of the university of south africa believes choosing sides right now is not in the continents best interests. definitely,

america will try to continue to majel in elections that africa. we have a model of elections 4th coming in on cola in august. and we had general townsend african visiting angola to assure them of america's support, that meaning they will carry on supporting the government of the day. if a gola complies to resist harmful russian activities, we have elections force coming in malawi, these are some countries that off so very, very poor that even a. busy small amount of money can, can make a difference and provoke pay regime change. i think this is what of what america is actually planning for. and this influence is short of the, it doesn't actually establish friendship or good relations. so if he goes in no position to, to take sides or all, all or to, to get distracted from its own development needs,

which are very existential. they're very critical. paulson betsy golf faced again with the loss of food security. meaning the countries will not be able to feed their population. so africa is, it is actually cruel to try and, and explore africa into joining a particular foreign policy. will it possibly come a busy friday for you? well, but headlines here on arty international. really appreciate your company today, but anything you've missed or you want to catch up on either auto dot com or any number of our social media platforms are a lot of hourly updates as well. at ortiz, i telegram channels. we hope to see you, sir. ah, i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings,

except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is too late. trust rather than fear a various job with artificial intelligence, real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with a prayer will never be
