2:00 am
very dramatic and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time to sit down and talk with top headlines here on our team. international nuclear disaster threatens the continent. there's the ukrainian military shells, europe's biggest nuclear power plant. that's all according to russia's envoy to the united nations with the you. foreign policy chief says politics are about quote. applying double standards as the block discussed, is a ban on visas for russian people. the u. s. president comes in heavy criticism off the claim. the countries inflation rate is 0 percent, despite overwhelming statistics showing it's at 40 via record heinz.
2:01 am
with questioning more and pushing back on the mainstream narratives. welcome to your new sociology international. well, the threat of a nuclear disaster is real. the consequences are unthinkable if indeed ukrainian attacks on those. that's what it all she atomic plant continue. this is all according to the russian envoy speech of the un security council meeting, which was urgently convened at the request of moscow. just like it was so full if the attacks from the ukrainian 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 key of well at the 15 member body that leads the united nations, the un security council, in their chamber in manhattan,
2:02 am
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 united states took 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 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 at is if we ship facility is not a mystery, it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision and to further invade. it's the sovereign neighbor ukraine. russia alone created risks, and it can eliminate those risks now by withdrawing from ukraine. now,
2:03 am
the russian representative talked about how this fits a pattern that talked about how the ukranian 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 by 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 for me. yes, there is no need to, we are saying,
2:04 am
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 out, would simply be russia's fall. it seemed that the united states and its allies were not concerned about the potential fallout 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. we spoke earlier with a brian bar letter, co geopolitical researcher and writer a. he says that the u. s. is ready to invert reality in order to meet its narrative . ready the united states then their properties 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
2:05 am
a familiar. ready 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 convert 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 what shows how reckless and how desperate the west and their proxies had become. according to local authorities, these only nuclear power plant was attacked twice on thursday. as key of troops used multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery from the right bank of the napa river. later shelling came just hours before the un security council meeting on that very issue. is all corresponding acres down off, he has more. it is dangerous. it is alarmingly irresponsible because this time apparently, the ukrainian forces have targeted the concrete storage facilities for nuclear
2:06 am
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 ukrainian 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,
2:07 am
had brushed aside these accusations as absolute nonsense as something ridiculous. and indeed russia is 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, its 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 a defensive 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 did discuss the
2:08 am
issue with the political analysts, hamilton armstrong, who says the ukrainian government for the time being isn't interested in peace. 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 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 it that you
2:09 am
use. foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, says that double standards are a common practice and international politics. they mission came as the official was question 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 the e. u. member states appeared to be following the same practice. this, as estonia plans to close its borders to russian citizens with shang again, visas issued by talent. the european commission has also said the issue of tourist visas for russians is now on their agenda. is our to contribute our rachel marston with our thoughts and opinion. 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, shot around libya,
2:10 am
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 polis, no one can be deprived of his or her own rights because of their place of birth, their religion, or than any city. this is written in our constitutions, both in europe and in america. this is who we are. this is our identity. this is something we cannot forget. oh, it's there, 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
2:11 am
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, 2 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 shout hose. but now we also have a german cabinet spokesperson confirming that
2:12 am
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 their philosophy. guessing 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 social passes? how is that gonna work? estonia and finland are also pressuring the blogs, authorized to stand. 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. so now
2:13 am
madrid's mayor has pledged to persecute russians living in spain. the spanish politician has become the newest victim, also to get caught out by the infamous russian pranks to his lavonne on lexis. during that cold may, jose luis martinez, alameda shared his position on russian citizens in spain, claiming the bay should quote, be punished. this time the pranksters pretends to be caves may other form a box of a tale eclipse co during their exchange troubled us. my opinion on the mesa was 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 end on the national and local level. still, lot of men ah, went to west, instead of finding for you, craig dandridge, help us with the de partition of ukrainian man to craig. and i think it's not, i don't think it's a problem for madrid to send ukrainian refugees back to the war in their country. i
2:14 am
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. and so the madrid may are launched into an expletive, written tirade against russians and the 17 minute video colt. you can read more on the prank call that author dot com. the conversation led to criticism among spaniards who have called the official stance outrageous. while we spoke to one of the pranksters earlier, that of mister lexus, he told us falling politicians is a piece of cake who are not so really surprised because your accounts ran to punish all russians around all europe. so he's just a typical mayor from our one, the biggest capital oak european countries. so it was not real surprised was but he was the the most crazy mare that we have reached,
2:15 am
usually when we reach ah, international politicians. usually in our private conversation, they say what they are really thinking. so ah, 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 false, it's not hard for us. or even we great mania 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 seeing that he will be next targets or sprang call or something like that. the biggest problems only through the process of organizations. so you can make it folds only for all
2:16 am
these process. but if you already go into the call, everything will be if i were you, chip was banned by the ministry of defense of the u. k. because we praying their secretary for defense when wallace. and you said that these are risk for national security of the u. k. n g mand youtube to been our channel or i think or because it's the 1st time when i mean it's true. defense of any country demanded to ban any youtube channel. ah, well, no good news providing these days. the american president facing sharp criticism over his recent announcement on the issue of us inflation. actually, i just want to say a number 0 today. we received news that our economy had 0 percent inflation,
2:17 am
0 percent. well, that announcement came just hours after the federal consumer price index data showed inflation in july, dropping slightly to $8.00 and a half percent just down from 9 point one percent in june. so that figure is still a 40 year record for the u. s. economy, where living costs are on the rise all across the board. biden's comment certainly sparks and criticism from various quarters. ridiculous it from the white house. there is 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. one of course with a whole midterm elections just months away. we spoke with the editor for reactionary
2:18 am
times, julio nevada. he says that by the administration is struggling with rising pride, has at levels not seen in 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. the energy index is, is increased 32.9 percent. and obviously the 9 point one percent inflation in june all was actually the highest since 1981. it went down slightly year over year to the $8.00 in july, and they're claiming this as a victory. but the fact of the matter is americans are suffering. the price of
2:19 am
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 right on deal. the economy is bad. you know, of the afghanistan 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 is down. it's a shame that america has to be embarrassed by having this type of a president. the syrian oil ministry has publicly accused america 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, steel up to 66000 barrels every single day. from the fields occupied in the eastern region in its stipend. sarah and officials branded american lead troops as a quote occupying force has been reported that the u. s. is responsible for the
2:20 am
fact of $105000000000.00 of oil since the beginning of the war, according to local reports last weekend alone. so dozens of us army tankers smuggling oil out of the country into northern iraq, or the russian president vladimir putin has previously called on the us to stop. exploiting, syria is natural resources while economic consultants, i mean a, i u says u s. involvement and regional conflicts has for years, the stabilize the whole region. we actually count all those years since the contract started in the sense to the us actually got people to figure might actually be correct. because the oil industry in 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 actually russia actually vetoed last month on the, on the new and the resolution for a to syria,
2:21 am
which actually comes in every year. well, actually you have people in many conflicts in the region actually proved before they were not very efficient in sullivan, local issues. they might or can model of democracy actually fairly and in the region. and a lot of initiatives actually failed, including enough again to stand in iraq and known syria. i probably no surprise to hear there's no let up in the current tensions between china and tie one. now the foreign ministry of the self ruled island has publicly rejected beijing's revised proposal of a one country to systems solution. they said thomson taiwan resolutely rejects the idea of one country to systems. only the people of taiwan can decide their future. and the future of taiwan is within china's borders. that's according to beijing position, published in a new white paper. the official document says taiwan has never been
2:22 am
a state and its status as part of china is undeniable. at aging also withdrew its previous dance, are not sending troops or administration officials to the island and asian affairs . analissa benjamin chow believes that pelosi is visited. taiwan was a direct provocation to that of the 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, all penny supported to one china policy that it was just one, china and talent is part of it. so the one country to system solution really shows who could secrete sincerity or fe, jane to maintain the lifestyle, or tie one as much as possible. pelosi, this is a highly responsible move. she wanted to leave her legacy esther democracy be democracy fighter wyler, completely ignoring the fact that riots in the capitol hill when biting one to election, it happened. you know, the country would be consider. cohen, co, beautiful, seen, you know, language to show support of democracy. so days across
2:23 am
a couple of stand and he policy, since she's the 2nd in line to succeed the presidency. and as to how speaker how this it represents the office official stand and does represent a sydney pin holloway of the one china policy and supplies of russian oil to the czech republic through ukraine will not be restarted. this comes off of the company that services the pipeline to prague didn't pay his transfer fees. now, prague will still receive oil from russia, from the north, through an oil pipeline coming in from poland. a kia had only a band old oil deliveries through the southern branch of the pipeline transiting ukraine. the terrace were not paid by moscow due to sanctions. this led to hungarian and slovak companies, taking their 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 bob pipeline supplies several european countries
2:24 am
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 leg of the pipeline which runs through by roofs, poland and germany has not been affected by the stoppage of the kremlin, has said sanctions or holding the e u much more than in russia by limiting the blocks access to energy. what we discuss this with dr. georgia is molly of the global policy institute of london. he says that europe proves once again that it's paula titian's are the only ones to blame when it comes to the energy crisis. across the continent. you're probably getting very vulnerable because it's actually quite difficult to get the oil to the republican. the old will, the check republic is that he would have to go through, usually a very complicated process. honory is actually in a better shape because he can actually get the oil from probation. and so the
2:25 am
channels where the general public is more vulnerable, but all it still goes to show is that the european union that is messing around with the energy flows. european union continues to accuse russia all playing games with energy weaponized the energy and denying the european energy that they need. so it's clear once again that there should be no problem about the oil flows other than the european. some is, i don't, i know you saw the transit the because that sanction the u. s. a secretary of states tour of africa is continuing with rwanda being the latest stop and any blink and says the us doesn't want to force the continent to pick sides during current geopolitical time. african nations have been treated as instruments of other nations progress rather than the authors of their own. the
2:26 am
united states will not dictate africa choices and neither should anyone else. lincoln's or to follows hot on the heels of the russian foreign minister. gala ross, who just wrapped up and meet and greet tour across the continent. us 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 africa and foreign minister for one said the country has not come under any pressure from last turns about human rights. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally a really and found it under thomas charles and know the university of south africa believes choosing sides right now was not in the best interest of the continent. definitely, america will try to continue to majel in elections that africa. we have a model of electrons forthcoming in an gola in august,
2:27 am
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 her complies to resist harmful russian activities, we have elections forthcoming in malawi, these are some countries that off, so very, very poor that even a 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 fall. 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 law 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
2:28 am
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. i'd appreciate you joining us. you are an author into national for this. i would show live from moscow. anything you may have missed or you want to catch up on. we've got a number of arte telegram channels, of course artie dot com. all of our social media platforms are getting updates every couple of minutes than used does not stop at r t t. we are back soon with blue . ah,
2:29 am
well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't know if that is yes to say out because the advocate and engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, children at st and residential school suffered nightmarish levels of abuse,
2:30 am
torture and child rape. and yet the office of the attorney general suppressed thousands of page the police of evidence that identified the perpetrators in the school. i was electrocuted twice. i was only 7 years or 1st too high for me. so somebody put me in the chair by the law. i used to run over here, abuse somebody and run here and she kept solution and with himself, some of them are. my relatives didn't make it jerking themselves to death, over doses. but yeah, what it made me make me the person i am today because i'm a, hey, i don't give up with any investigations. were too often handled differently because the deceased was indigenous. so many of the worst criminals got away the bishop's got away. the ones who done most of the damage never got charged.
