a me with me, this is a firing position, the ra, several basements all around the place with similar firing positions. so what is this if not, prove that ukrainians use civilian houses as the cover ukrainian nationalist forces are again accused of using civilian areas and don't pass those firing points. as an rti cruet visits the front line with the wagner private military, with a british writer who provoked the rock of the muslim world with a controversial token, the 980. some was previously issued with

a death sentence by iran stopped in front of an audience in new york. with dr. pink floyd co founder roger waters made headlines, and a recent injury the cnn where he contradicted western narratives, spoken to him openly on the pressing. issues of the day with german officials warn about tulsa both social unrest, which could be worse they say, than the protest over the cobra conduct. electricity prices are already 5 times higher than a year ago. with broadcasting from moscow to the world. this is our team international. my name's unit o'neill, on 30 minutes of news and views start. now. we begin with the latest from the conflict in don boss. now officials in the done yet great public se ukrainian forces up shell, the chemical plant in the city of car lapka, causing a he's. this is footage of the fire chicken by a local,

large plumes of smoke could be seen rising into the sky. no regional authorities say this situation doesn't pose a dangerous the shells had a building materials warehouse. it comes days after ukraine is reported to show the new killer power plant side, which is under the control of russian forces. the rushing troops continue to make advances in the done yet people's republic. they are currently pushing towards the key strategic city of archer mosque. now, among the advancing forces as a private russian military company called the wagner group, r t. e gratian della was granted a rare opportunity to join them, and also to look at the abundant positions of ukrainian troops who continue official se to use civilian areas as firing point. several years ago, many weren't certain if this unit was real or just

a spine chilling myth. it's the most reclusive and cryptic company fighting for russia and the don bass. this is the wagner group. ah ah. the village of the cross glare refused to fool for weeks to defended. key of commanders deployed some of its veteran troops with plenty of experience in ugly warfare. so from the outside, this looks like an anonymous village. hard just a civilian house, but trust me it is not. and as i go,

please pay attention to this very badly decomposed body in ukrainian military uniform. but if you were to just follow me, you will discover this, again, an anonymous to shed. and again, it is not, you can see the trench, the trenches over here. so this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing position. so what is this if not, prove that ukrainians use civilian houses as their cover? and basically anonymous places like this but it takes more than just dirty tactics to stop the wagon a group dubbed as the orchestra, the ensemble and other music inspired nicknames. they pounded this very position for long, violent 8 hours until every one of the dozens of resisting ukraine's troops either fled or met their maker. this is one of the basements amid village houses,

where the ukrainian troops used to shelter. this is a good hiding spot because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof here is reinforced. and if you wondering what this ropers is done for safety, for closing the door remotely, the village is largely deserted, yet a handful of civilians with no other place to go remain at the same time. ukrainian forces are still shelling the place, targeting the musicians in a whack a mole style. we live together with the russian units. my husband is an insulin, we just ran out. i ordered some ones, then again, the delivery failed. now they've taken him somewhere. i think that will get the medicine without the insulin. things would be bad, he would die. the orchestra has moved on already. there are the 1st and only unit to have breached the defenses of the city, of our term,

of the next big thing on this direction. ah, i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian side, this is the under the village. and this is the last house here, which also turned out to be the final fortification on their way. renowned british or 3rd salman rushdie, who i'd read swathes of the muslim world in the 1980s with a novel team blasphemous against the prophet mohammed has been stopped in the neck in new york state in front of dozens of people are teased. caleb martin can tell us more about the incident. according to eye witness accounts when sama rushdie was going to give a presentation in chautauqua, new york was being introduced as he was being introduced that attack around the stage. punching and stabbing the introducer suffered

a serious blow to the head and rushed. he was stab, you received a neck injury and he felt the floor. he received medical treatment on the stage. he was able to walk away from the stage and he was rushed by helicopter to a hospital where he is now receiving treatment. so the audience was a little bit of shock the, the presenter, the person introducing him with also injured quite a serious moment. now, as has been noted, some on rusty is certainly a controversial figure in 1988. he published a novel called the satanic verses which infuriated muslims around the world because of the way it depicted the prophet mohammed at mock religion, et cetera. there was a thought was issued against solomon rusty by the supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran, calling for his death. and there had been many instances in which he's faced attempted attacks, etc. there been many threats against them. now, british taxpayers did pay for protecting him for many years. his security was paid

for by the british government. then he was eventually given night by the british government for his contributions to literature. now it's important to note that that when solomon ross, you published his controversial novel, you had rioting all over the world, muslims around the world were rioting, and protesting against that. they were just deeply, deeply offended by the novel. and he's lived in quite a bit of fear for his entire life since then, fearing for his safety due to the content of his novel, which was considered very blasphemous by muslims around the world. be waiting to hear updates on his condition. at the hospital, we understand he was rushed thereby helicopter. get another headline story today. soaring electricity prices in germany. they've had a new rec, reaching $455.00 euro per mega. what our is 5 times higher than just last year on despite the traditional economic strength of the country, even the states finance minister recognizes that. currently the situation is

worsening. significantly to sheila mention for many people every day life has become far too expensive. we fear that gus, energy and food prices will rise. at the same time. all countries, economic prospects have become fragile and full cost for economic growth have to be revised downwards. germany is the country that contributes the most cash to the european union of all the member states. now, brussels has always been able to count on the reliability of the high german economic tied to carry any sinking member states. but the problem with, depending on the other eyes, money is a sunday, the other guy could be in financial trouble himself. and then what happens to the dependence? well, the idea that germany could be facing dire economic and political straight to the point of social unrest and warnings of potential instability was previously unfathomable. but now a perfect storm is brewing on the horizon for berlin with inflation reaching its highest level since re invocation. in 1990 cost of living, pressures increasing energy prices. skyrocketing as officials plunged the economy

into a kamikaze tailspin for ukraine. the german finance minister is now saying that the quote economy is deteriorating as he taps the fuel gauge and sees that it's on empty literally as officials scramble to find a solution for their self imposed energy crisis and rationing. now all he really asked to do is pull up on the controls, but berlin refuses to consider the pipeline nord stream to sitting right in front of them ready to deliver russian gas. the minute they decide to stop the sadomasochism of their self imposed economic sanctions. so now german officials are bracing for panic of on board as disaster approaches. if prices continue to rise, then at some point people will take to the streets. we must help average households and set an upper limit for energy costs. if we get social unrest, the state won't be able to cope what we experienced in the cove it pandemic in terms of partly violent confrontations on social networks. but also in the streets

and squares was probably more like a children's birthday party and comparison. now there's also another german state security official, stephan kramer who told the german press recently that he's concerned that the protests that could result from everything that's going on right now could be worse than the classes that they saw during the pandemic. and it could make them look like a children's birthday party. and he also warned that for those of you who are thinking of participating in the protests, you might want to reconsider because you don't wanna side with the enemies of democracy. funny how they're blaming everybody. but themselves, so in an attempt to calm the masses, berlin is going to throw money at its own citizens. now, who would have thought that we'd see the day when germany would be handing out aid to its own citizens, the richest country in europe. and judging by a new report, forecasting a loss of 260000000000 euros by 2030 and an estimated loss of 240000 jobs by this

time next year. well, it looks like it's running out of its own money now. so by what magic mouth is it going to keep paying people and to make matters worse? chance sir olaf schultz is racking up political scandals, including accusations of political interference in waving the tax bill of the largest private bank in germany as the mayor of hamburg now, he has to answer to a committee and well, he already doesn't seem too happy about having to answer, to press the forms this michelle prudish, him and it is not credible to mix facts into a question that is not true. these claims have not been substantiated. well, think about it before you ask something like that. you may recall that there was also the matter of 9 women, claiming that they were slipped a date, rape drug during a summer gathering hosted by schultz for his political party. and it all just adds fuel to the fire at a time when the german landscape is increasingly vulnerable. and officials fear that any spark could ignite a blaze of unrest at any time. just really too bad that they brought it all on

themselves and seem, well, i'm for gently intent on staying the course. despite considerable competition, india could emerge yells, ages, strongest economy in the 2020 to 23 period. according to the investment management giant, morgan stanley, the projection comes as the countenance currently 3rd largest economy grew a full 9.2 percent. this fiscal year says new deli, increasingly pursues an india 1st strategy and refuses to bow to external pressure . here's our t contribute our, our t 2, a 1000000 by morgan stanley is going to be true. oil prices drop below $90.00 and i go by 21st. if that happens in debt is certainly going to be the strongest economy in asia. but having said that,

the fact is that india has done very well in the last few months, especially because india has maintained extra digit independence. resolve the foreign policy. i'm international trade of the fact that the need to countries having pressurizing india against buying russian oil that discounted prices, i think is something to be done to do it here in the i did not budge under the shop in the i went ahead and bought russian crude oil, which has been evicted, they've gone to me and it has had in get it got all the losses that it during the go by. the fact is that the west has been rising india against buying not only from russia, but also on st. evolution. and veterans system just happens to be the

biggest supplier pharmacy emission to india. we continue to work with them to ensure that they understand that it's not in there. we believe that it's not in their best interest to continue to invest in russian equipment. what i can say is that india is a really important security partner of ours now, and that we value that partnership moving forward. i hope that part of what happens with the extreme criticism that russia has faced is that india will find it is now time to further distance itself from russia. but it is quite clear that is going to follow these goals on its own national interest. the more the government has made it abundantly clear that not limited relationship with russia or defense on, on why it is quite clear that india really continue. it's partnership with russia on both arms, all the just defense, as well as, you know,

roger waters, the co founder of the legendary rock, a pink floyd, made plenty of headlines. this week came after an interview he gave to cnn, where he rejected the western narrative and some of the most pressing issues of the day, including the reasons behind ukraine conflict intentions over taiwan. will. archie is also spoken with the musician about freedom of the press in the us, his attitude towards the reasons that live behind cor, modern conflicts. and i, washington tries to keep relevant around the world. i believe on youtube, you know, they've still got the whole interview up so you can see that it was heavily edited, which is a shame because the whole interview is only 18 minutes long. i think a 7 minute 7 or 8 minutes. so the cut out about 10 minutes, i don't, i mean that

a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had for instance, about the ukraine was heavily edited. and so it didn't really represent my real views. but it, obviously it was to their advantage that my interview with michael was cut and a little bit and stuck together to make me look like an idiot. i'm not make it. there are very few places where i can get any time to express my views and the views of all the other fighters, the peace. anybody who doesn't tell the government line is a troublemaker. and i am proud to be a troublemaker, the troublemakers, the important people zalinski was, he was elected as the president of the ukraine after the coup in 2014 on a platform of solidifying and hearing to the minsk agreements to mince 2. and

also agreeing to end the civil war that was already happening. and of course, the minute he was elected, somebody put a gun to his head. i had so many changed his mind and didn't do any of that. when the law of that 73 percent of ukrainians voted for him, presumably wanted those agreements implemented so that they didn't have to have a wall and it could be stopped in my view to morrow. all it needs is for the americans to come to the table and say, okay, let's go with the men sc agreements and then it would be over. i have a dog in the race. my father died in italy fighting the 3rd, right? you know, i, i, i have a deep sleep and vested emotion, interest in what happens to my brothers and sisters. why are we in a state of perpetual war?

because nancy pelosi wants us to pay and she wanted to apply and posturing, taking huge risks, completely ignoring the agreements that were made. the one china rom agreements made in 19711972 after the nixon busy in 72. it was absolutely great that there's only one china and it's the people's republic and, and it's the hold of china. they wanna rule the world. that is what is so dangerous about american foreign policy. we should be looking at this in a global fashion where all brothers and sisters, we all come from africa. we're like, cousins. we should be embracing one another, not blowing one another to be they don't think like that. and that's partly because it's sort of enshrined in their political ethos. the only thing that matters is the bottom line and the corporations have only one responsibility and that is to their

shareholders. cnn, as roger allege is we're not supplying censorship by cutting any inconvenient parts . so you can watch the full version of the interview with pink floyd co founder roger waters on saturday. here in arte ah, the german interior minister has apologized for a photo showing her holding a glass of champagne during her visit to care of last month. as it was for to buy regret the photo, it was certainly not appropriate. i think it's actually easy to explain because in kiev, at the moment life on the streets is back to normal. this is hard to understand when you travel to a country where you see a lot of destruction done where you know what terrible war crimes have happened there. and why, you know, that fighting is still going on in the east of the country to eat. and it's not just miss phaser, there's been a steady stream of foreign politicians visiting you crate on picking up press

coverage along the way. although presidents zalinski has cautioned local officials to be careful, if commenting on frontline events, highlighting that quote, war is definitely not the time for vanity and lied statements. he stated that in a desire to grab a big headline, they shouldn't reveal ukraine's defense bonds. well, it's not just western politicians making headlines. there are world famous faces have been seen in ukraine to some pretty humanitarian missions. others they say just to show their support for ukrainians, independent journalists lucrative. a believe the headline grabbing visits against the background of suffering is irritating the public. key of somehow is becoming a subsidiary of hollywood. p stays, you know. it's not only politicians who want their photo op with the chief artist, mr. lensky. it's also the whole of all he would have actually, nationally, sean penn, director or ben stiller the actor. so all these people come to to,

to have to congratulate the chief artist again, who was by the way in for on the cover with mrs. scott. so this doesn't go down very well, i think in the west at least, and not in here either because people are suffering people really like the, the special operation to stop somehow. and so it's, it's fairly difficult now for the government to have to wait the people that they are really tough and only that after all, what happens over the last few weeks and months to africa? counting is underway in kenya's presidential election. but before the leader is even known, their entry is full to the brim, not the least. the issue of a growing terrorist threat in the region archive is most significant affiliates

have been spreading the roots as ortiz, policy or explores. this has been one of the most literally contested inaction in kenya's history. the nation is divided over who should lead the country. but if there is one thing that kenyans can agree on, it's that their government with american assistance is failing and it's fight against tara one. it's been 3 and a half years since the last leisure attack in this country, alicia, but one of our client does largest wealthiest and most deadly affiliates has roots here and is growing. there are random attacks against civilians, even an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty. it's the high profile tragedies that make it to the international headlines. like back on the 15th of january, 2019 terrorist ascended on this lecture hotel an office complex. 19 hours later $21.00 people were dead and the country was lift,

wheeling and shock. 6 years earlier, this shopping center was targeted for 4 days. people crouched in terror while they were held hostage during a shootout between kenyan soldiers and police, and some ali militants out about the claim. there were extracting revenge for kenya's operations in neighboring somali territory. the americans had been there for years already trying to stem terrorism at its core. it's a common sentiment hearing tenure that any american assistance has a price that a political influence. america sprinkle manipulate the liberal compared countries so that the kinetic control of their economies. they pretended to be good to these vulnerable countries, especially nafrica, where they be that they know, and it doesn't depend on their grams. so they only say in for inviting influence a dental resume, so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up glance sought. but to instead, they only want to get involved into our affairs by vin, turning into mining of our minute olds. taking control of our political situations

and political and general governance, they want to control us and it, but then there's american is actually africa. africans are very vulnerable. they don't have enough resources. we have enough resources, but americans are taking looters on it, back to their land, the money factor, those things that they be, they bring back to us in terms of selling, how does, why they're trying to manipulate us so that we come not to. we stop believing in ourselves. they want to make us feel that we are still in fia. the fight is that the fight is selfish. civic in the condo that the americans we want to do, they want to benefit from these countries. because even as we are good for the saucers, it, it means there was 2 of these countries go over, is that jim change these countries? some of these countries in the hint, if i had gone to the war and now back in may biden or did hundreds of back into somalia, asha bob continues to conduct attacks. certainly there in somalia. they have been capable of conducting attacks in the region, and we know that in the past they have expressed at least the intent and desire to

attack outside the region including against american interest. so tara is on the wise in the region and is spreading to more countries black uganda, which just last year experienced water attacks than ever. it originates from somalia moves through kenya and is claimed by also bad pinions. no, another attack will come against the backdrop of surgeon emotions because of a loss. when at the ballot box, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, policy, r, t, at election headquarters, nairobi, kenya. a big reaction to this next story, a so called murder for a higher plot twists fascinate the former us national security advisor john bolton . i seen a member of the iranian islamic revolution regard cor, charged by the u. s. sharon um, per sophie was reportedly offering $100000.00 for the hit thought to be in

retaliation for an ur strike that killed a senior iranian military officer. 2 and a half years ago on or about january 3rd, 2020 to some silly money. the former commander of iran islam revolutionary guard corps t o d s force was killed by u. s. air strike in iraq. certain members of the leadership of iran denounced the killing of publicly vowed revenge. general ceremony was a hugely popular, figuring around his killing broad hundreds of thousands of people on to the streets and protest. many experts considered him as the key figure behind, runs foreign strategy in the middle east and the architect all of its regional implants. solomon, the murder by drone, intensified tensions between washington and iran. professor at the university of jerome side. mohammed mirandi believes there was no objective reason or explanation for his coming this accusation. the united states has

a tradition of lying about intelligence and such information. and we know, for example, that when the united states murder, general sony money later on, it was exposed to the defense secretary. in his memoir, he said that tromp just simply wanted to to kill him. and that the reason for his killing that was given was all false. when the united states wanted to murder or general sunday money, they gave an excuse. or they claim that he was about to carry out an imminent strike or attack on american targets. but it turned out, obviously that was a lie. this is the same unclear why the united states at this time would want to escalate some sort of tension with iran. it cannot wage war against

russia through ukraine, poke china and attempt to intimidate china and also escalate against iran at the same time. the truth is that the united states is only going to increase its decline at a more rapid pace by simultaneously trying to intense, intensify tensions with iran, russia, and china every time. and that is where we leave the news update for know, but don't go too far as more programs get going in moment. see what's showing where you are right ahead. goodbye. ah,

with no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history. with

.
