a with with headlines here on our t international nuclear disaster threatens the continent is the ukrainian military shells, europe's biggest nuclear power plant. that's all according to russia's envoy to the united nations. the u. u foreign policy chief says politics are about quote, applying double standards as the block discusses of ban on visas for russian people . the u. s. president comes in but heavy criticism off the claim, the countries inflation rate is it 0 percent. despite overwhelming statistics showing it's at 40 year record, heinz 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 and the consequences are unthinkable if indeed ukrainian attacks on those dr. orgy atomic plant continue. this is all according to the russian and boys speech at a un security council meeting, which was urgently convened at the request of moscow. just like yourself locals. if the attacks from the ukranian army continue, a new killer catastrophe could happen at any moment than huge territories and 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. well, 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 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 den. danger, the cause of the situation 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. 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 in 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 h e a. he basically said that there is, at this point, no immediate threat for me. yes, there is no need to know where safety or well nice

group change a mom, russia and other countries like china called for a di 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 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 . it's. 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

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 invert 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, and doing this. what shows how reckless and how desperate the west and their proxies had become. according to local authorities, these f osha, 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. latest shelling came just hours before the un security council meeting on that very issue . is our correspondence equals done 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

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 cave accused moscow of shelling its own positions, basically creating a provocation, a causes belly for world, for international condemnation. but rush of course,

had brushed aside these accusations as 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, its capacities, some 50 percent more than 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 a 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 did discuss the

issue with the political analyst, hamilton armstrong, who says the ukrainian government for the time being isn't interested in peace. i think that as long as this is the 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 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 use member states appear to be following the same practice. this, as estonia plans to close its borders to russian citizens with shank and visas issued by tollen, 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,

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 then nicety. 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 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 anyone 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 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 shout hose. but now we also have a german cabinet go 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 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 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 authorized the stat. 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

madrid's mayor has pledged to prosecute russians living in spain. the spanish politician has become the newest victim, also to get caught out by the infamous russian pranksters is woven unless us during that cold may. jose luis martinez el meadow shared his position on russian citizens and spain, claiming that they should quote, be punished. this time the pranksters pretended to be king, may either form a box of italy clips co during their exchange, troubled us 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 ah, went to west, instead of finding for you, great dandridge help us with the partition of ukrainian man to craig. and i thing is not, i don't think it's a problem from a drink to san ukrainian, 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. and so the madrid may are launched into an expletive, written tirade against russians and the 17 minute video cold. 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 europeans, france punish all russians around all europe. so he's just a typical mayor from our one, the biggest capital european countries. so it was not real surprised was but he was the, the most crazy mare that we have reached,

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 in other uh, folds. it's not hard for us. or even we many ah, worldwide politicians, i think that people seems to have a weak system of security. so i think it's a problem of psychology. no one thinks that he will be next targets frank or something like that. the biggest problems are only through e m process organizations. so you can make it folds

only through this process, but if you already go into the call, everything will be fine. our each, it was banned by the ministry of this defense all the you k because we're praying for their secretary of defense and wallace. and if you say that it was a reason for national security of the u. k. n t man, that's you tube to ban our channel. ridiculous because it's a 1st time when the minister of defense or any country demanded to ban any channels. well, no good news providing these days. the american president, facing sharp criticism over his recent announcement on the issue of u. s. inflation. actually just want to say a number 0 today. we received news that our economy had 0 percent inflation,

0 percent for that announcement came just ours off of 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. 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

times, julio nevada. he says that by demonstration 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

everything is going up. the 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, 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 steal 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 us is responsible for the 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. the russian president vladimir putin has previously called on the us to stop exploiting syria's natural resources. while economic consultants, i mean a i, you 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 for 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's actually russia actually vetoed last month on the, on the new and resolution for a to syria,

which actually comes in every year. we'll actually do you have single in many conflicts in the region actually proved before they were not very efficient in solving local issues. they might or can model of democracy, you actually fail in, in the region. and a lot of initiatives actually failed, including enough, again, the standing iraq and known serial probably no surprise to hear there's no let up in the current tensions between china and taiwan. 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 thompson, 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

a state and its status as part of china is undeniable. at aging also withdrew its previous dance on not sending troops or administration officials to the island and asian affairs. analissa benjamin chow believes that pelosi has visited taiwan with 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 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 staging, 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 completely ignoring the fact that writers in the capitol hill when by the one the election impact in the, in the country will be consider coin call beautiful scene, you know,

language to show support of democracy. so this classic port standard and he policy, since she's 2nd in line to see the presidency and as to how speaker a visit represent the office official staff and the touch with the send, a 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 the company that services the pipeline to prague didn't pay as transfer fees. proc will still receive oil from russia, from the north, through an oil pipeline coming in from poland. a kid had only a band all oil deliveries through the southern branch of the pipeline transiting ukraine. the terrorists were not paid by moscow due to sanctions. this led to hungarian 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, the rouge pipeline supplies several 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 bella, roofs, poland, and germany has not been effected by the stoppage of the kremlin. has said sanctions or hurting the e u much more than 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 politicians 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 awhile to the republic. the alternative for the republic is that it would have to go through, usually a very complicated process owner is actually in a better shape because they 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 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 europeans, the energy that they need. so it's clear once again that there should be no problem about the wild flows other than the european own. 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 he 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 united states will not dictate africa choices and neither should anyone else. lincoln's that follows hot on the heels of the russian foreign minister, gala ross, who just wrapped up a meet and greet tour across the continent. 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 africa and foreign minister for one said the country has not come under any pressure from moscow about human rights. as like 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 elections 4th coming in on cola in august. and we had general townsend

from african visiting angola to assure them of america support, meaning they will carry on supporting the government of the day. if a gola, her compliance 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 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 law or to, to get distracted from its own development needs, which are very existential. that 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. i'd appreciate you joining us here in athens, and after for this i would show live from moscow. anything you may ever missed or you want to catch up on. we've got a number of arte telegram channels, of course, audio dot com, all of our social media platforms. are getting updates every couple of minutes than used does not stop at r t. we are back soon with more. ah oh, when i was showing wrong, i just don't know any yes to shape out

disdain because the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, well, never be a victory for russia. wait for sushi, where you're still waiting literally not unless you look at a meal. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as oman are made it cons to last should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in europe, to gauge in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are here and defend nato allies. what happens that nato escalates even more than the special military operations become a war when you put del sets of rules that yellow show and that will,

that does mismatch. so i see it, i see figure to us. thank you. casias to go to me live. so you sleep, he shenika you stuff for the girls to me are physically almost bentham let's see. we live at home is still foolish. the arena sewage nearer seekers. the girl whose whose .
