for from us as the luck to some ricardo scuttle in mitchell knowledge of knowing that the cold war had begun. with crane shells, there's up a rose. yeah, a nuclear power plant. once again, according to local authorities, just days after it attack the same site with rocket launchers and artillery with russian lead forces take full control of the key town of pesky near done yet the military advance there continues in the republic also ahead on the program, roger waters speaks to our teeth, days after an 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 grant was heavily added to my interview with my co was cotton, to little bits and stuff together to make me look like an idiot. i'm not count as india prefers to market 75 years of independence from british rule, but also they partition of the country into india and pakistan. we hear the tragic tale of one of his family was torn apart by them. 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 wherever you're catching that program from today. welcome to moscow on to the global use. rhonda r t i'm unit only ukranian forces have shell zap a regime nuclear power plant along with a thermal power station according to look officials. earlier in the week,

the ukrainian army attacked the territory of the nuclear plant with multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery, sparking fears of another potential chernobyl like disaster. it comes as local authorities of the neighboring her san region son, the alarm over their hydro power plant saying it's working in a pre emergency condition. the plant is interconnected to the nuclear side in question, non interrupting its work could also potentially lead to disastrous consequences. earlier, there are corresponded in don bos e gorge. it done off, told me more because of raska 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 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 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 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 of that? and indeed, what else? the m o. d had to say. indeed, it is a big moment for the troops in the 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 bay levy. and 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 of the smaller towns like the town of, of 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 there fortifications absolutely formidable. they comb creve 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. and 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 or some reaction i got to events was from creator of the dunbar. inside her new side, chris still neil, who believes the west laming. russia for the shelling is absurd. i was, 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 thousands and thousands of kilometers away from the origin, the,

all the waste they are supporting ukraine. so they cannot admit, typically that this supportive 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 in the territory which is under control . so it's easier for them to learn, disseminate these lines than to meet the truth. roger waters, the co founder of the legendary rock, gra pink floyd, was in the headlines this week. it came after an interview. he gave to see an end where he rejected the western normative and some of the most pressing issues of the

day, including the reasons behind the ukraine conflict on tensions over taiwan. marty has also spoken freely with the musician of both that set done. and plenty more besides i believe on youtube, you know, they've still got a, the whole interview. 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 mean that a little bit of judicious editing is cool, but all the conversation i had, for instance, by the ukraine was heavily edited. and, and so i 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 making it. there are very few places where i can get any air time to express. my views and the views of all the other fighters for 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 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, 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 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 world? well, because nancy pelosi wants us to be and she wanted supply and posturing, taking huge risks completely ignoring the agreements that were made. the one china arrange agreements made in 19711972 after the nixon visit in 72. it was absolute. great,

that there's only one china and it's the peoples republic and, and it's 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 in shrine in their political ethos. the only thing that matters is the bottom line on, on like cnn. as roger ledges we're not supplying censorship by cutting any inconvenient parts. you can watch the full version of the interview with pink floyd co founder roger waters throughout the day here on an r t dot com on monday, india will mark 75 years of independence from british rule anniversary also shared

with what for many was a dar shop during history, the division, not the country known as partition. it's all british india, broken up into separate states of india and pakistan that move lead to bloody clashes on the vast displacement of civilians are teas. runjun sharma has been looking back up the time via one man's personal and tragic story. good night when the way speak in yeah. when a week later in a moment come rich come lunch around in his study. when we get vote on boom, done. when and with 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 homeland to pakistan. this british lead blonde, resulted in the biggest fullest 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 underwhelming 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. 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 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 92 goals, his childhood muslim friend, shaw hum. across the border as hell i'm while 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 remain 75 years ago. believe 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, we believed like brothers. the hade was brave by politics and the british, but it did ruins and sharma artie, but job berlin's unknowns to it's suspended. its involvement in the un peacekeeping mission to molly, after local authorities in the country refused to let a german military plane enter. it's aerospace, 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 malian armed forces. we've always said that,

and that's what we wanted. while in february from sir 9 states soldiers would leave molly after 9 years there came after thousands of anti porous protesters took to the streets, calling for a french withdrawal and in support of ongoing russian military assistance to the country. after that polite germany promised it was drawing done its participation in military programs there too, but still continued to provide troops to the ends, operations in the west african nation, while lecturer research throughout the university of paris eights, eunice bel fella believes western presence has significantly weaken the country and the wider region in many areas chicago, at least, 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 main.

the european ones has weakened the role of african states, not only and molly, but also in the entire 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 a 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 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. rushes involvement is very different from the west's festival, 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 the military department of molly. this is not the 1st time russia has undertaken military cooperation with african countries. is well known that russia

has good relations with many african countries. another story to bring attention to today, estonia has approved a bon on russian citizens entering the country if they have been issued a shingle visa by the republic itself. the count for not still enter with visas issued by other states that we discussed visa restrictions on other you policies with russia's representative to the block vladimir. she's off. ah lucas. it gives us the 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 visas 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. but 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. ah, luca, senator, 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, if an energy drew attention to the shelling of the territory of the nuclear power plant and blamed the irresponsible behavior of the russian forces. this position is inadequate. i do not think that

b a u is the kind of structure that is able to deal with the nucleus safety issues professionally. there is the i. e, a for this, the head spoke 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. therefore, 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 represent. it is no so recross that they go that through the territory of ukraine, though they don't explain how to organize it in practice. ah, yet almost as yes ordinary europeans should wait for the consequences of decisions that the e u has been making for several years. it won't be that long to wait or time and winter, just around the corner. we'll see what the energy balance is going to look like, how the food security issue. we sold the trying to blame russia for these problems, but they are ready to blame. russia has long been warning europe, these issues long before the military operations. i think that the way to normalize

the situation lies and changing the use political cools. russia has never been the initiator of restrictive sanctions measures. you will say, well, speaking of a stony, the country, young lot, fia, they have both pulled out from the cooperation group known as the 16 plus one trade organization. now it consists of china and countries within europe. 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 and investment opportunities in europe. lafayette, on this stony a follow another baltic nation lithuanian, which exited the group last year. china has not yet commented on the decoupling. no asian affairs analysts, victor, god believes lafayette under stony a will regret their decision. i think it reflects that these 3 baltic countries really, 1st of all, think too much of themselves. they are very,

very small economists 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 unwise 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 is the 2nd largest 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 fundamental interest of countries like e z o r s tonia between the and the last 2 work together with china and other countries in easier than just the central european region for mutual benefit. international corporation will definitely be mutually

beneficial. however, the way these 3 baltic countries handled themselves in dealing with china, being boy kaji, the china, east, european as a junior, a p. m cooperation framework is a wise, i'm sure they will regret this wrong. this is they are making right now. all right, quite a lot of reaction to this next story, the president of the italian football club, napoli has been accused of racism and discrimination by the confederation of african football. and it's after he said the syria giant will no longer buy african players if they refuse to sign a waiver, stating that they will plan a major international tournament back home. my, if i don't, i didn't owe me enough with africans unless they renounce. on playing the african cup of nations that 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 gonna be 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. a reaction to the words of natalie's president came thick and fast with footballs, governing body and africa, demanding its european counterpart tick action confederation of african football is appalled by the irresponsible and unacceptable remarks made by napoli, president, mister elio de la rented on african players in the africa cup of nations. c a 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. while speaking to us, sports journalist mama j didn't hold back. he believes gree done self interest dominates modern football. it me born anyway. if soccer surprise,

do we see each center behave? in a sense, interest in can you look at to, to listen to you have to be there on partition at national level work up a meaning that all the players play more game. no more to complain about it because money go into there. it doesn't play years, you're going to do a lot in the success competition a more with them a lesson form b for bravo. most people could donald trump

be facing jail? that's the speculation. running rife, state site. hm. and allegations, the former us president could have violated the u. s. espionage act. it follows a controversial f. b. i. rates on his residence in florida to retrieve, quote, sensitive government documents. some of the papers are alleged to have been marked as top secrets, although mr. trump cleans all the material in his possession, was declassified. the f b i. agents reportedly took around 20 boxes of items from the mar ally, go residence. the agents collected 4 sets of top secret documents, 3 batches of secret papers and 3, lots of confidential files, according to report some of the classified documents, the f, b i agent software related to nuclear weapons. donald trump vehemently denies that and has demanded the files be released publicly as soon as possible. number one, it was all declassified. number 2,

they didn't need to seize anything. they could have had it any time they wanted without plain politics and breaking into mar lago nuclear weapons issue as a hoax. just like russia, russia, russia, was a hoax to impeachment, were hoax. the mueller investigation was a hoax, and much more same sleazy people involved. and just to note the f b i officer is also broken to donald from safe in his south florida. home with the search appearing to be focused on material that he took with him. upon leaving the white house, radio host and political commentator carry harrison leaves the f. b. i's move now opens the door for this same treatment to be dished. are 2 other previous leaders. if you could go after a u. s. president, 1st time ever. that means you can now go back in time to all us presidents. and what a fun time that's going to be. so i think this is more of hocus pocus, a lot of circus, because the last thing you want is to go through richard nixon's grave,

examined the body and find god knows what, including obama still alive, including a lot of others. clinton still alive. we're talking the 15 boxes, then another $25.00. that's 35 boxes. what's in them? we don't know. it's up to merrick garland, to release that, but he hasn't yet the f b i is not allowed on its own to release that. so we can only speculate is that stuff on nuclear weapons is that marilyn monroe's brazier operation, northwoods that attempted to come up with a reason to invade cuba back in the 19th sixty's, or is it porn? i don't know. well, if you would like to delve deeper into that or indeed any of this, our stories are t dot com has you covered this weekend? plenty of news views on latimore besides to get stuck into there? good by ah

ah, with ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time to sit down and talk ah, the 2nd world war i think 2 millions of people.

during the conflict, the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations. the united kingdom, the united states, and the ussr. march the 31st 1945, a british royal air force plane lands in crimea with a very important passenger, the british prime minister's wife, clementine churchill. boop, our daughter cathedral, ye will put dish and she has shrimps me. you see your blue bus clinical roughly the she knew. yes, bonilla, she deceptive.
