a with a ukraine shells, there's up a rogia nuclear power plant, once again, according to local authorities, just days after it attacked the same site with rocket launchers and artillery soup, russian lead forces take full control of the key town of pesky near done yet because the military advance, there continues in the republic. also ahead on the program, roger waters speaks to our teak 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 grade was heavily edited my interview with michael was cut and a little bit stuck together to make me look like anadia. i'm not as india prefers to mark as 75 years of independence from british rule, but also the partition of the country into india. unpackaged them. we hear the tragic tale of one of the family was torn apart by the move. it's been 75 years. i remember those days that day when we were separated and you never came back on your memories for me, with wherever you're catching that program from today. welcome to moscow on to the global news roundup on our t. i'm unit only ukrainian forces have shell be zapper rogia 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 to the 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 dunbar e gorge. it done off told me more because the per oscar nuclear power plant is being shown relentlessly and well, quite religiously by the ukrainian side today is yet another instance of their attempts to well cause damage to the facility. now it has been shown before. it has been shelled literally hours before a before russia. cool. 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 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 effect of the entire country. you 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, an update. 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's people's republic for the russian forces. this a little town of pesky. it is quite small and it is just outside the city of 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 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 therefore to cations absolutely formidable, that they had those comb creve as tunnels as miles of trenches. 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 that done boss in southern use side. chris still neil to believe 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 are these kinds 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 you want to country, which is risking the life of millions of people by shilling and nuclear plant. they cannot say that if 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 control. so it's easier for them to learn, disseminate the sly than to me. the truth. roger water is 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. lar. tea 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 the whole inch of you up. 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 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 in 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, the piece, anybody who doesn't tell the government line as a troublemaker, and i'm 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 the pregnancy 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 this letter, right? you know, i, i, i have a deep sleep vested emotion, 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 one china re agreements made in 19711972 after the nixon visit in 72. it was absolutely great that there's only one china and it's the peoples

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 and on like cnn has 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 rti taco on monday, india will mark 75 years of independence from british rule anniversary also shared

with one for many was a dar shop during history, the division of the country known as partition. it saw a british india broken up into separate states of india and pakistan that move lead to bloody clashes on the vast displacement of civilians are t. runjun sharma has been looking back up the time via one mom's personal and tragic story. a midnight when the week in yeah. when a week later, you don't a moment come rich, come much around in his study. when we did both on movies until the noon. when 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 to 1000000 people lost their lives in what became to known as the partition. my grandparents were among 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 whelming journey. 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 meant 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 harshest on the nub and 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 contact or does managed to maintain their friendship. believe raj, who's now 92 goals, his childhood muslim friend, shaw hum. across the border as to lamar lake, my king. it's been 75 years. i remember those days that they, when we were separated and you never came back on 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 lived like brothers. the hate was bred by politics and the british over in orange and sharma. arti, but job berlin's announced 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, in 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 melee and armed forces. we've always said that,

and that's what we wanted. while in february, france and 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 the poli, germany promise it was drawing don, it's participation in military programs there too. but still continued to provide troops to the u. ends. operations in the west african nation, while lecturer research throughout the university of paris eights, eunice bel fella believes western presence has significantly weak in the country and the wider region in many areas. chicago, at least, i believe that western countries have suddenly serious. he failed at molly since the goals outlined at the very beginning by france than by the un multi dimensional integrated stabilization mission. and molly, which act of 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. brushes 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,

as well known that russia has good relations with many african countries. wow. 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. they can for now still enter with visas issued by other states. now we discussed visa restrictions on other you policies what rushes representative to the block, vladimir, she's off. ah, look, i say it 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 visas issued by european countries, this from a diplomatic point of view is nonsense. at the moment, the e visa code is not provide for the complete ban on the issuance of short term visas

. 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, look us a, this problem causes serious concern around the world. the discussion that took place at the un security council rushes 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 plot, and blame 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

a nucleus safety issues professionally. there is the i. e, a for this, the head spoke the security council unconfirmed. 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, they by creating a potential threat to the safety of the i a e a represent. it also requires that they go there 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, the decisions that the e u has been making for several years. it won't be that long to wait for time and winter, just around the corner. we'll see what the energy balance is going to look like, how the food security issue will be sold, the 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 initiate of restrictive sanctions measures. you want to say, well, speaking of a stony of 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 stoney follow another baltic nation lithuania, which exited the group last year. china has not yet commented on the decoupling. no asian affairs, unless victor, god believe, la fiano, estonia 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 are the other hatch. let me warm these 3 baltic countries that it is wise to be hostile to one of the largest economies in the world. after all, china is the largest economy by purchasing power parity and china. the 2nd largest economy by official, eccentric next to the united states and china is the largest, the treating nation with more than 130 nations in the world. it will be actually in the fundamental interest of countries like the old as tonia, the doing, the am and pm to work together with china and other countries in your country. 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 being boiled coffee. but china, east europe came and said you're a p. m cooperation. is wise, i'm sure they will regret this wrong. they say they make the right now. all right, quite a lot of reaction to this next story, the president of the italian football club natalie has been accused of racism and discrimination by the confederation of african football. that's 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 back home. my if 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 a season guy,

i'm gonna be african couple of nations become in 1957 that 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 manager gave didn't hold back. he believes greed on self interest dominates modern football. in so every body anywhere is snugger surprise.

do we see each center behave? it's about sense interest in can you move to to lease and you have to include dental petition at national level work up collab name, meaning that all the players to play more game nor want to complain about it because money is going into their pocket and doesn't play it, you're going to do a lot in the success on partition a lease with them. a lesson for more is one full of people.

could donald trump be facing jail? that's this speculation. running rife, state signed. hm. it allegations the former u. s. 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 mister trump claims all the material in his possession was declassified. the f. b i. agents reportedly took around 20 boxes of items from the mar, a lago residents. 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 none 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 playing politics and breaking into mar lago nuclear weapons issue was a hoax, just like russia, russia, russia was a hoax to impeachment were hoax. the mew investigation was a hoax. and much more same sleazy people involved. and just to note the f b, i officers 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 curry harrison leads the f b, i's move now opens the door for this same treatment to be discharged to other previous leaders. if you can 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 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. it's 35 boxes. what's in them? we don't know. it's up to mirror 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 in maryland and rose brazier operation. northwoods that attempted to come up with a reason to invade cuba back in the 960 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. how's you covered this weekend? plenty of news views on latimore besides to get stuck into there to buy the me mister waters. you are very

welcome to r t international. thank you for your time today. can we for 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 still got the whole into view 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, right 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 in the united states, as i'm sure there are in russia. and as i'm sure there are in ukraine as well, probably more than anywhere else. and what we're all 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, a support for the universal declaration of human rights in paris in 1948. that is the other platform upon which i would stand and well until the day i die. am i to, i mean, ugh,

i could talk about michael smoke cornish em. who if you watch the whole 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 on some of the point. and 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 or it mainly piece in the you. we have to all pulled 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. as you see, i was a jovial afer after the interview. indeed the presenter joke, but you're a troublemaker by.
