very critical time, time to sit down and talk with breaking news on our tea ukraine shell says upper rogia nuclear power plant, once again according to local authorities, just days after the attack, the same side with rocket launchers and artillery brushing lead force to take full control of a key ton of pesky near done yet because the military balance continues in the republic. also coming up roger waters speaks to are 2 days after an earlier interview to see an end by the legendary rock star. he told us was significantly edited all the conversation i had, for instance,

about the grain was heavily agitated. my interview with michael was cut and a little bit stuck together to make me look like an idea. i'm not, and i was india prepared to mark 75 years of independence from british rule on monday, but also the partition of the country into india and pakistan near the transhill of one man whose family was torn apart by them. that it's been 75 years. i remember those days that day when we were separated and you never came back on your memories remain with live for moscow. this is our t. my name's unit o'neill on 30 minutes of news and views start. now we begin with breaking news. ukrainian forces have shell, this oper, rogia, and nuclear power plant, along with

a thermal power station according to local authorities. now, earlier in the week, the ukrainian army attacked the territory of the nuclear multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery sparking fears of another potential chernobyl like this. it comes with the local authorities of the neighboring, her southern region, sounded the alarm over their hydro power plant, saying it's working in a pre emergency condition. the plant as interconnected to the nuclear side in question on interrupting it's where it could also potentially lead to disastrous consequences. earlier our correspondent in done boss eager shit down off, told me more because of or oscar nuclear power plant is being shell relentlessly and well, quite religiously by the ukrainian side today is yes, another instance of their attempts to well cause damage to the facility. and now it has been shown before. it has been sheldon, literally hours before a before russia cooled. i an emergency meeting with the un security council before

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 moscow 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 wins, in fact, it's hard to predict as to how far and how and what direction the nuclear,

this nuclear fallout cloud will travel figure what also looks like to be a significant development and update today. the russian defense and ministry said that the key ton of pesky is under russian control. can you take us through the implications about and indeed, what else? the m o. d had to say. indeed, it is a big moment for the troops indeed. and that people's republic for the russian forces, the little town of pesky, it is quite small and it is just outside the city of den. that's the capital of the then that's people's republic. it's about maybe a 2030 minute drive away from the capital, sickly. 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 it. and that's 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 one 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 therefore to cations absolutely formidable, that they have those concrete as tunnels, as you know, 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 with pesky under control of 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. some reaction i got to this was from the creator of the dunbar, inside a new side, crystal neon, who believes the west gleaming. russia for the shelling is absurd, as it's completely under moscow's control. is kind of disaster will not be limited to the ukrainian or russian territory. these kind of disaster can have consequences

on sa sense and solvents of kilometers away from the origin. the, all the waste they are supporting ukraine. so they cannot admit, typically that this war to country, which is risking the life of millions of people by shilling and nuclear plant, they cannot say that they say that then people will be asking. but who are we supporting? who are we financing? we're, we're, is going our money. i mean, i mean that there will be a lot of uncomfortable questions coming from the public. so they prefer to see that russia is shalise itself and its own troops and the to read through which is under its control. so it's easier for them to learn niecy, meaning nice line than to meet the truth. roger waters, the co founder of the legendary rock group, pink floyd, made no few headlines this week. it came after an interview. he gave to see an end

where he rejected the western normative on some of the most pressing issues of the day, including the reasons behind the ukraine conflict on tensions aubrey taiwan will. artie has also spoken freely with the musician up that sit down and plenty more. besides i believe on youtube, you know, they've still got the whole inch of you. ok. so you can see that it was heavily edited, which is a shame because the whole interview is only 18 minutes long. i've seen a ed 7 minutes, 7 or 8 minutes, said the cut out about 10 minutes. i don't, i means a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had, for instance, by the ukraine, was heavily edited and a and so didn't really represent my real views. but it, obviously it was to their advantage that my interview with michael was cut into

little bits and stuck together to make me look like an idiot. oh, i'm not many. there are very few places where i can get and he had time to express my views and the views of all the other fighters. the peas, anybody who doesn't tell the government line is a troublemaker, and 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 order qu, 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 have so many changed his mind and didn't do any of that. will

a lot of that 73 percent of ukrainians voted for him, presumably wanted those the agreements implemented so that they didn't have to have a wall. an aide 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 this letter, 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 because nancy pelosi wants to stay and she wanted to apply and posturing, taking huge risks, completely ignoring the agreements that were made, the one china re agreements made in 19711972 of to the nixon

visit in 72. it was absolutely great that there's only one china and it's the people's republic and, and it's the whole 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 sorts of enshrined in their political ethos. the only thing that matters is the bottom line. well on like cnn, those roger ledges, we're not applying censorship. by cutting any inconvenient parts, you can watch the full version of the interview with pink floyd co founder roger waters thrive saturday. here on our t on monday, india will mark 75 years of independence from british rule and reverse re,

also shared with what for many was a dark chapter in history. the division of the country known as partition. it's all british india broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan. the move lead to bloody clashes on the boss displacement of civilians are t renter and sharma has been looking back out the time via one man's personal and tragic story. good night, when the way speak in the hour window a week later in a moment come which comes about to run in his study. when we are both on doomed until the noon. when the new gin and with the 70 sizes the go to send, sees of british rules came to an end. but one of the most diverse sub continent in the world was now divided into 2 hindu majority. india and muslim form led to

focused on this british lead blonde, resulted in the biggest forced migration of the 20th century, owed 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 while. mean johnny. do you remember that day? what happened on 15th august 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. by 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 the 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, wants to be decided on many amend from our village. but 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 about 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 90 to close his childhood with him friend, show hom, across the border as well. i'm well, a cool my king. it's been 75 years. i remember those days that they, when we were separated and you never came back,

only your memories for me. 75 years ago, molly raj, until han lived in the same neighborhood until a man me border physically separate and then they all left. there was law amongst us and we believed like brothers. the hade was brave by politics and the british. oprah did ruins and sharma, arte but job can know the story. i want to bring you to day. berlin's announced it has suspended its involvement in the you ends peacekeeping mission, to molly, after local authorities in the country refuse to let a german military plane enter. it's her space, those in power. and molly have not allowed the u. n minus my mission access to its air space. a plant rotation of personnel is therefore not possible. that has effects on our engagement, given that the security of our soldiers has the highest priority. i applaud this decision. we have long wish that the security of our territory in the air would be

guaranteed exclusively by the melia armed forces. we've always said that, and that's what we wanted. while back in february, france announced its soldiers would leave molly after 9 years their game after thousands of anti virus protesters took to the streets, calling for a french withdrawal and in support of ongoing russian military assistance to the country. after the poet, germany promised it was drawing down its participation in military programs there too, but still continued to provide troops to the u. n's operations in the west african nation. well lecturer, research at the university of paris. 8th, eunice, a bell fella believes western presence has significantly weakened the african region in many areas, chicago leap, i believe the western countries have suddenly serious. he failed in molly since the goals outlined at the very beginning by france than by the un multi dimensional integrated stabilization mission. and molly,

which act to the long side fronts and other european countries were not achieved. terrorism was not to face. it was not the intervention of western countries, mainly european ones has weakened the role of african states, not only and molly, but also in the entire sa hell region. as a result, there is now an increase in the influence of johanna scripts. not only, and molly, but also in the entire hell region, as well as near the guinea region, is obvious that there are no attempts at democratic changes in these countries. in particular, through partially organized kuda. tar western countries needs have a clear political vision, develop partnerships with the various parties and forces that are present in the region, in particular with russia, which has significant influence. notice have clear goals and priorities to ensure, 1st of all, security, and then to address governance issues and create institutions. russia's involvement is very different from the west's. first of all, because russia is not connected with africa by its colonial past. in africa, russia does not have a negative image. like, for example, france. secondly, russia's participation takes place in accordance with an agreement, signed with

a military department of molly. this is not the 1st time russia has undertaken military cooperation with african countries, as well known that russia has good relations with many african countries. lot fear on this sonia, have pulled on from the cooperation group known as they 16 plus one trade organization. it consists of countries within europe and china, extending 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 and investment opportunities in europe. lafayette, on the stony of follow another baltic nation lithuania, which exit that from that group last year. china has not yet commented on the di coupling. though asian affairs, unless victor, god believes love, fear on the stony a will regret their decisions. i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries

really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. they 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, china is the largest economy by purchasing power parity and china's the 2nd largest the economy. by official, eccentric next only to the united states and china is the largest, the treating nation with more than $130.00 nations in the world. it will be actually in the problem the minds of interest of countries like your estonia, the way me and b m to work together with china and other countries in your countries that central european redo,

full mutual benefit. international cooperation will definitely be mutually beneficial. however, the way these 3 baltic countries handled themselves in dealing with china in boy coffee, but china, east europe can set uter a p. m cooperation bridge is out wise. i'm sure they will regret this wrong. they say they are making right now. now the president of the italian football club, napoli has been accused of racism and discrimination by the confederation of african football. after he said, the serial giants will no longer buy african players. if they refuse to sign a waiver, stating that they will play in a major international tournament, buckle my advice, i didn't owe me enough with africans unless they renounce on playing the african cup of nations and i will not buy them any more. for that reason,

we pay their salaries to send them all over the world to play for others, right in the middle of the season. i am the african cup of nations become in 1957 and runs every 2 years starting in january right in the middle of the european league season. some players have previously returned to their clubs after the tournament injured. reaction to the words of natalie's president came thick and fast, though with football as governing, body in africa, demanding its european counterpart take action. confederation of african football is appalled by the irresponsible and unacceptable remarks made by napoli, president, mister elio de la rent is on african players in the africa cup of nations. ca f, therefore, urges union of european football associations to initiate disciplinary investigation against him. you cannot speak about african national teams like this. you have to have respect like you have for the european national teams. yeah. now seems to be the big issue that lot are well, sports journalists, mama to gay, believes though greed on self interest that words dominate modern football. is

shop. every boy anywhere is snugger surprise. the way she tried sent behave, in a sense english in can you look at to, to read some clue. you have tried to increase their own petition at national level up club level. meaning that all the players playing won't be no more to complain about it because money is go into their pocket. it doesn't play years in europe. contribute a lot in the success of competition, a lease with

them, a lesson form for the full of people. all right, right ahead as promise not full on edited interview with rockstar roger waters. and the pink floyd co founder does not hold back. it's next. ah, mister, what is your very welcome to our tea international? thank you for your time today. can we sit down in a moment or 2 on that recent interview, you granted to see it 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 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. i do have real views on the train 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, the piece, 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 platform from which i've done well until the day i die. i mean, out, i could talk about michael schmidt, cornish m, who if you watch several interviews, you'll see that it was quite a jovial affair. in fact, 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 very mainly piece in the ukraine. we have to all pull together and join our voices 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 of her after the interview. 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 gonna get to the ukraine at somewhere. no, absolutely. but yeah, as you say youths, 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 views. 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 that 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 few in mexico and, and, and we have a very powerful message in the showed that 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 is that so it's a very, very simple message, but it's message that by and large and people in my industry are not purveying or

spreading or, or they're not making a loud enough noise about it. that is why i'm talking to you today on archie, cause you can, can you imagine in, in, in, in the united states of america. oh, he is a traitor. speaking to archie, because we're not, we are discouraged from communicating one human being to another. and they're talking to you today is a conduit for me to speak to all my brothers and sisters in, in russia and in the u gray. and i'm sorry to keep bringing up the ukraine, but it's, they're staring in the face and it's extremely dangerous. it could, the ukraine, anti one which was the other thing that we talked about with michael schmidt, cornish though those that those are the 2 points of potential white heat that could trigger the 3rd world war. and people take don't take nuclear weapons nearly seriously enough. you do your weapons or are deadly deadly threat as we all

know. and yet somehow the treaties have fallen by the wayside. you know, partly because politics isn't taken or diplomacy in the art of diplomacy. and leadership and state craft is not taken as seriously certainly in the west where i live. maybe it isn't in russia either. i don't speak russian. so i don't claim to know a great deal about m at internal russian politics. but i do, i have read all the speeches. i do understand, i do understand the history of the, of the recent history, certainly, or 21st century history of ukraine and, and, and others and other things as well. and i take a global view and, and so and up because i'm interested it in it a and because i have a dog in the race.
