[000:00:00;00] ah ah, breaking news on r c. ukraine shells as upper rogia nuclear power plant, once again according to local authorities, just days after it attacked basis, same site with rocket launchers on artillery with russian lead for say, a take full control of a key ton of pesky near done yet because the military advance continues in the republic also ahead on the program, roger walker speaks to archie after an earlier interview to cnn by the legendary

rockstar was he say, significantly edited with all the conversation i had, for instance, the ukraine was heavily added to my interview with michael was cutting to little bits and stuff together to make me look loc anadia. i'm not a india prefers to mark 75 years of independence from british rule on monday. but also they partition of the country into india and pakistan. we hear the tragic tale of one man whose family was torn apart by them. it's been 75 years. i remember those days. the day when we were separated and you never came back. only your memories remain with we begin with breaking news. this is our

t international ukrainian forces are again shelling the zappa was yet nuclear power plants, according to local officials. this on verified video was posted on social media on shows people reportedly leaving the city of a nerd, good jar, where the nuclear plant is located. a considerable line of cars were witness trying to get out of the city. earlier in the week, the ukranian army attacked the territory of the nuclear plant with multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery, sparking fears of another possible chernobyl like. disaster. what are correspondent is near that scene and will be speaking to us a little bit later when we get a connection with the board should all have to give us a full overview of today's offense. and that was indeed exactly occurred there.

yeah, something else. another big development of the day, key of troops of shells, a market in the city of love, which is under the control of and yet republic authorities. let's go through the significance of what happened here. these are the latest pictures we have from the scene. local officials say 4 people are injured and it comes just a day after 3 civilians were killed on 11 injured by caribbean shelling of the republics capital don. yet. city. yeah, i think we've got to obviously connect now with igor, should dollar for a correspondent in don boss giving us an overview on both of those developments. hi igor, yet so in the 1st place, yet more shelling of a site where the consequences could be absolutely catastrophic. take us through

what's known about that nuclear territory. well, absolutely. these approaches can nuclear power plant is being shown relentlessly and well, quite religiously by the ukrainian side. today's yes, another instance of their attempts to well cause damage to the facility and now it has been shown before. it has been shelled literally hours before a before russia called an emergency meeting with the un security council. literally hours before that meeting happened, the power plant had been shelled and on the 5th on the 7th of august as well. so it is a target for the ukrainian says, this is according to the russian side. even though ukraine denies allegations and is saying something along the lines that russia is shelling its own positions is shelling its own infrastructure. so something that most has clearly brushed off. and indeed, speaking of the consequences, they can be absolutely devastating experts they have kind of calculated the

potential radius of the nuclear fall out. if the nuclear power plant was indeed to be destroyed. and interestingly enough, ukraine was to be had the hardest. it was too bad the most of the impacts effective the entire country would have to go through the nuclear fallout. bella ro, spots of russia as well. and depending on the winds, in fact, it's hard to predict as to how far and how and what direction the nuclear this nuclear fallout cloud will travel, eastern europe, western europe could be impacted as well. if you crane continues this highly irresponsible behavior bigger, what also looks like to be a significant developmental op day. today, the russian defense ministry said that the key ton of pesky is under russian control. can you take us through the implications of that? and indeed,

what else the m o. d had to say. indeed it is a big moment for the troops indeed. and that peoples of republic for the russian forces, the little town of pesky, it is quite small. and it is just outside the city of dennis, the capital of the then that's peoples republic. it's about maybe a 2030 minute drive away from the capital. so it's really close basically the right now, the russian ministry of defense, they have indeed announced that it has been liberated, quote unquote, that it is under the control of the internet people's republic forces, and the russian forces as well. it is a key strategic point because basically it's a gateway to capturing some other smaller towns like the town of a day of and so basically those towns, they are not well known to anyone who hasn't visited it and as people's republic. oh, who hasn't well paid any attention to the conflict, but for the people inside the nets, they're crucial for 8 long years. the ukranian troops, they kind of,

they were beefing up the defenses in all these towns, including the town of pesky and their fortifications. absolutely formidable, they comb creve as tunnel as miles of trenches. so basically those fortification, they can withstand a lot of damage and they provide an excellent cover to the brain in forces that so the capturing of this village is a great milestone in the huge milestone for the, for the russians look. so basically now with pesky under control, the russia has its hand hands untied and they can basically any sort of offensive in the direction of any other major stronghold. again, like a day of car will be much easier. yeah, thanks for break and all that done. first lie from the loo. ganske republic are tease egoism. roger waters, the co founder of the legendary rock group, pink floyd,

made plenty of headlines this week. it came after an interview he gave to cnn, where he rejected the western normative and some of the most pressing issues of the day, including the reasons behind the ukraine conflict and tension over taiwan will r t. as also spoken with the musician about freedom of the press and the u. s. his attitude towards the reasons that lie behind cor, modern conflicts on high washington price to keep relevant around the world. i believe on youtube that 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 they add 7 minutes, 7 or 8 minutes, said they cut out about 10 minutes. i don't, i mean a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had for instance,

about the grain was heavily edited. and so it didn't really represent my real views. but obviously it was to their advantage that my interview with michael was cut into little bits and stuck together to make me look like. and i'm not. 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. i'm proud to be a troublemaker. the trouble makers, 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 minutes to and also agreeing to end the civil war. that was already have things,

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 the pregnancy voted for him, presumably wanted those agreements implemented so that they did one after ab 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? no, i, i, i, i have a deep sleep m vested emotional interest in what happens to my brothers and sisters why are we in a state of perpetual war won't 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 $1.00 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 the whole of china. they want to 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. where 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 been shrine in their political ethos. the only thing that matters is the bottom line and the corporations have any one responsibility and that is to their shareholders. on like cnn,

as roger ledges we are 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 right saturday here on our see including in just a were 10 minutes from the on monday, india will mark 75 years of independence from british rule anniversary also shared with what for many was a dark chapter in history. the division of the country known as partition and saw british in the broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan. the move led to bloody clashes on the vast displacement of civilians with sometimes even villages split into 2 r t. runjun sharma has been looking back up the time by the personal story of one indian. good night when the way seek india when a week later in a moment come rich, come to lunch around in his study. when we get boat on noon noon,

when the new gin and with 70 sizes, the go to send sees of british rules came to an end. but one of the most diverse sub continents in the world was now divided into 2 hindu majority. india and muslim homeland to pakistan. this british lead blonde, resulted in the biggest forced migration of the 20th century. over a 1000000 people lost their lives in what became to known as the partition. my grandparents were amongst the millions of people who made that journey from across the border during partition. i couldn't get to know their stories and struggled as i was quite young when i lost them a chance of hearing 1st hand accounts of people who had similar experiences. maybe on a well whelming journey. do you remember that day? what happened on 15th, or with 1947 when the partition happened,

we were here in the same village, the same district of good westport. i remember when the line was drawn, but it still wasn't decided on which side my village would fall. at that time. 75 years ago, there was no tv or radio. only one person to the next village had a radio. and on the 15th of august, thousands of people from different villages gathered at the home of this person with the radio as the fate of our district, whether it will be part of india or pakistan, was to be decided amend from our village. i also went there to hear the decision and he came and told us that we would remain in india. i still remember the day very clearly. the partition has been harvest on the northern state of punjab during a bar to millions of hindus seeks and muslims who had lived together in harmony for generations over the decades that followed. some last conduct. are those managed to maintain their friendship?

believe raj, who's now 92 goals, his childhood muslim friend, shaw hom, across the board on a cell armoire. a cool my king. it's been 75 years. i remember those days that day when we were separated and you never came back, only your memories remain 75 years ago. molly raj, until hom, lived in the same neighborhood until a man me border, physically separate and then they all left. there was law of amongst us and we believed like brothers. the hade was brave by politics and the british over there didn't ruined sharma arti, but job estonia has approved a balance on russian citizens entering the country. if they have been issued a shingle visa by the republic, they can still enter with visas issued by other states for not we discussed at visa

restrictions on other new policies with russia's representative ambassador to the eve lamarcus off. ah, look, i said yesterday statements of european politicians, they contradict common sense and numerous political and legal obligations of the you though, looks like racism and discrimination. and the fight against discrimination is the foundation that the you itself and the western well posed as the foundation of democracy. as for the closure of borders for people who have shing and vases issued by european countries, this from a diplomatic point of view is nonsense. at the moment, e visa code is not provide for the complete ban on the issuance of short term vases . the introduction of such a restriction on the basis of nationality would mean a step towards restrictions on race skin color. sexual orientation east state has the right to issue or not to issue a visa to a citizen of some country. that is, it is an individual decision. if such a practice is introduced in relation to all citizens of a country, it is unpractical and unrealistic because there will always be

a humanitarian problems. interestingly, in some e u countries, they immediately remembered russian dissidence, the opponents of the russian leadership that still live in the a you, i think is more of an emotional decision. oh, look, i said, so this problem causes serious concern around the world. the discussion that took place at the un security council on russia's initiative is a clear confirmation of this reaction of european countries was inadequate. relevant european commission of energy drew attention to the shelling of the territory of the nuclear power plant and blame the irresponsible behavior of the russian forces. this position is inadequate. i do not think that the e u is the kind of structure that is able to deal with the nuclear safety issues professionally. there is the i e, a for this, the head spoke of the security council and confirmed his intention to personally had the inspection mission to the plant. russia has been calling on it to do this for a long time. they for statements coming from western capitals that russia should be required to allow them to inspect the problem is not in russia, but in the key of regime, which continues shelly, by creating

a potential threat to the safety of the i. a e. a representatives also recross it, they go there through the territory of ukraine, though they don't explain how to organize it in practice. oh, yes, almost as yes ordinary europeans should wait for the consequences. the decisions that the e u has been making for several years. it won't be that long to wait for to my winter, just around the corner. we'll see what the energy balance is going to look like, how the food security issue be. so they're trying to blame russia for these problems, but they are ready to blame. russia has long been warning europe at these issues long before the military operations. i think that the way to normalize the situation lies and changing the use political cause. russia has never been the initiator of restrictive sanctions measures. you will say you lafayette, on this donia have poll, died from the cooperation group known as the 16 plus one trade group. the organization consists of countries within europe and china. explaining their departure,

the foreign ministries of both states said they will seek relations based on mutual benefit and respect for international law in 2012, beijing launch the 16 plus one initiative in an attempt to expand business on the investment opportunities in europe. latvia and estonia follow another baltic nation lithuania, which exited from the group last year. china has not yet commented on that the coupling less cross live. now to victor gao, vice president of the center for china and globalization, thinktank unsure, a professor of su chow university. you are most welcome. why do you think that if you tell in an riga have quit the cooperation group with china for zillow, it's very unfortunate. secondly, i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries, really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. there are very, very small economies on the global scale and whatever they do will not make

a big ripple in international economic and trade relations. on the other hand, let me warm these 3 baltic countries that it is wise to be hostile to one of the largest they call them is in the world. after all. time is the largest economy by purchasing power parity, and china is the 2nd largest economy by official exchange for next only to the united states. and china is the largest, the trading nation, with more than $130.00 nations in the world. it will be actually in the problem, the minds of interest of countries like york as tonia, the doing the and the last b, m 2 worked together with china and other countries in your countries. the central european region for mutual benefit, international cooperation, will definitely be mutually beneficial. however, the way these 3 baltic countries handled themselves in dealing with china in boy

call g. but china, east european and said you are a p. m cooperation. pretty much is our wise and is against the fundamental interest of these 3 body countries. it is to be to prawns and eventually i sure i'm sure they will regret this wrong busy. they make your right now could estonian lafayette now face economic consequences given how big of a player china is globally, is not essentially what you're saying, mr. go. now whether china will launch a punitive actions or retaliatory actions against such are wise and unfriendly measures. that's one thing. on the other hand, it is completely against the fundamental interest of these, all the countries themselves, not to be friendly with the 2nd largest economy in the world. if we use a visual,

or exchange rates, all the largest economy by purchasing power parity. why? because to be a french and promot corporation in a constructive way will generate mutual benefit. it will be good for china as well as these 3 body countries, especially my impression of these 3 baltic nations is that they actually lack stuff very much in terms of the quality of the infrastructure in these 3 countries. and china is the largest and most capable builder of infrastructure projects of all kinds. therefore, they completely under estimate china. they completely over sd themselves, and they completely disregard the fundamentals of these 3 baltic countries themselves. they will regret the mistakes that they are now making. does this have any consequence for beijing?

as i mentioned, these 3 body countries combined together in terms of the economy, scale, impact on the global economic and trade relations are really minimal. and the impact on china will be minimal to be completely ignored. however, symbolically they are really setting a very bad example, because if you look at eastern european region all send your region. many other countries are very still very eager to cooperate with china. because charlie can really provide a lot of a lot of the benefits in terms of access to the large chinese market in terms of infrastructure projects, connectivity projects of all cars. i think the decision by these 3 ball, the countries will put more pressure all day. you can, may, development will make them more isolated on the global economic stage rather than

generally, any meaningful period. but your thought, all the people of these 3 all the countries are dow vice president of the center for china. i globalization thing tech. i'm sure professor of so show university many thank fizzle with. thank you very much for having me. thank you. okay, right ahead of promise the full on edited interview with rock sir roger waters. i'm the pink floyd co founder does not hold back. it's next. mr. ward, if you are very welcome to our t international. thank you for your time today. can we do a moment or 2? on the recent interview? you granted to see and, and it got a huge reaction both from those agreeing and opposing your views. but did people watching it really see exactly what you said? it's been a lead. some of it was cut out. is that right? yeah, that is correct. and if you want to see any more about that, i believe on youtube,

you that have 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 they add 7 minutes, 7, all right, minutes. so they cut out about 10 minutes. i don't, i mean, a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had for instance, about the grades was heavily edited. and, and so it didn't really represent my real views. i do have real views on the frame by the way. i sort of feel, i'm in a very privileged position here talking to now because there are very few places where i can get any time to express my views and the views of all the other fighters for peace. and there are millions of them. and the united states has, i'm sure there are in russia, and as i'm sure there are a new crane as well,

probably more than anywhere else. and what we're fighting for is obviously in the short term piece in the ukraine, an end to the war, which i think could be achieved pretty easily. and beyond that. support for the universal declaration of human rights in paris in 1948. that is the other platform of thumb which i've done well until the day i die. and i mean out i could talk about miko, smoke cornish em. who if you watch several interview, you'll see that it was quite a jovial affair. in fact, at the end of it we shake hands and you know, we agreed to talk more at some other point. so if you want to talk about that we could, but i think there are far, far more important issues that we could address. mainly the re,

mainly piece in the we have to all pull together and join our voices and to demand that the parties come together and start to talk to one another. that means the united states of america in its leaders agreeing to be involved in talks to stop the war. if i, if i might just stare, continue without injury for just a little longer. i, as you see here, was a jovial afer after the view. indeed, the presenter joke, but you're a trouble maker but behind the banter and he was a fan, you can see that it is that how any one is seen, who doesn't tow the mainstream lajna and an irritant for want of a police. of course it is. yeah, of course it is, but will know that that's true in almost every country in the world. anybody who doesn't tell the government line as a troublemaker. i bet you've got millions of troublemakers in the russian federation there. there are lots and lots of us in the united states,

america and the u. k. and all over europe and all over the global south as well, of course, and i'm proud to be a troublemaker, the troublemakers, the important people, the troublemakers took to the streets in 2003, on february, the 14th just before the u. k. and the united states of america invaded iraq and murdered about a 1000000 people said we were there and, and we weren't just in london and in madrid, we were all over the united states. we were all over the world. we were in the streets saying, this is a huge mistake and it goes against everything that we believe in. but specifically it goes against the universal director and declaration of human rights. the iraqi people have rights to and you are not liberating them. you're murdering them. and we said that 25000000 people in the street. i'll stop, hector knew about that, but it's really important to know that we are

a large community. so even though i don't know any of them personally, i am now representing world without war coat paint and i won't go on mentioning their names because there are too many to mention. but we are a global force of, we believe in love for our brothers and sisters, all of them, including the russians and the chinese and the ukrainians, and the americans and the french, and the germans, the ecuador ins and the peruvians. and that she lands on the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. okay, so that is our platform. and we're sick of watching our lunatic leaders, including your lunatic liter banging heads. though though i do think in this case, well now i won't go there. you look, if you're going to get to the ukraine at somewhere. no, absolutely. but yeah, as you say you, it's something very important to you. and unlike many the people criticizing, you've done the research over many years as well. it was question mister waters.

why your views were being heard at all, but i would suggest artists, cultural figures have always shared their view. so why are you being singled out? well, well, they haven't always unless it's a problem and they're not. now that's why i'm being singled out because i, i do feel somewhat of a loan voice at within the context of the arena. the i work in, i'm a musician, professional musician. i'm on the road. i'm doing a tour at the moment. i'm doing 38 gigs, i think in the states and canada and the few in mexico and, and, and we have a very powerful message in the, in the showed the under, which is the one that i described to you a few minutes ago. it's all about our belief that, that all our brothers and sisters all over the world deserve equal rights irrespective of their nicety or religion or nationality. and it's so it's a very, very simple message,
