ah, with ah, nuclear is asa hangs over the continent. it's the ukrainian military shells, europe's biggest nuclear power plant. it's according to russia's envoy to the u. n . u. s. a secretary of state anthony blink, and looks to confirm america's commitment to africa earlier in the week, placing blame on russia for the continents various problems. and as india proposed to mock 75 years of independence from british rule, that the politician of the country into india and pakistan. we hear the story of one man whose family was split between this day. 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, with, with the top stories of the week and all this. our welcome to the program here were naughty international. so the head over the russia, back to ministration and ukraine's at separate ology region, saying that authorities are considering shutting down the nuclear power plant. that's how the ukranian army, again, shall the power station i correspond about the scene is equal to sign off. these are for oscar nuclear power plant is being shelled, relentlessly, and quite religiously by the ukrainian side. today's yet another instance of their attempts to well caused damage to the facility. now it has been shelled before it has been shelled literally hours before

a before russia cooled 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 forces. this is, according to the russian side, just the i think it was super rules. if the attacks of ukrainian army continue a nuclear catastrophe could happen at any moment. in this case, the entire responsibility for this will fall on the western sponsors of key if even though ukraine denies allegations and is saying something along the lines that russia is, is shelling its own positions, is, is shelling its own infrastructure. so something that musto has clearly brushed off, and indeed, speaking of the consequences, they can be absolutely devastating huge territories in ukraine. russia and other countries will be under the threat of radioactive contamination. the real scale of a nuclear disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine if for the nuclear

power plant was indeed to be destroyed. and interestingly enough, ukraine was to be hit the hardest. it was too bad the most of the impact effectively, the entire country would have to go through the nuclear fallout. bella, rou, spots of russia as well. and depending on the winds, in fact, it's hard to predict as to how far and how and in 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, russia has been calling for the international atomic energy agency to visit the plant for weeks. for the head of the i. e. a stated that the last un security council meeting that quote, there is no immediate threat to the nuclear power plant now. and while the u. s. representative put the blame fully on russia and demanded a full withdrawal of russian troops. the cause of the situation at the zip richer facility is not

a mystery. it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to further invade its sovereign neighbor ukraine. russia alone created risks, and it could eliminate those risks. now, why withdrawing from ukraine and turning a blind eye to why the complex and you cry and even started is just covering up the real western intentions and the threats that they pose. now that statement is according to former us senator richard black. right now, there are such enormous force from the west, from the us, from nato, from the united kingdom, this tremendous pressure from the western media. to never say anything bad about ukraine and to make up any kind of dying that you can say, against the russians. that's becoming a little bit frayed. pete,

the information is beginning to leak out. and people are beginning to say, you know, wait a minute. it wasn't russia that started this war. it was nature. they started the war because they forced brushes back to the wall where the president, he had no alternative but to defend the sovereign territory of russia. and he had to launch an attack to do that in order to preempt the attack that ukraine was planning against the don bass. president joe biden's policies have been dismissed as having little to do with democracy. in an interview, former congresswoman tulsa gathered cost doubt that washington's actions in ukraine have the country's best interest at heart. despite their lectures and their crocodile tears, it's never been about morality. it's not about the people of ukraine or protecting democracy. this is about regime change in russia and exploiting this war to

strengthen nato and feed the military industrial complex. and the joe biden. it's even about bringing about, quote, a new world order. now she's really making a name for herself these days, not the 1st time gathered has been critical of biden's policies on fox news. she also pinned europe's energy crisis on the u. s. president suggesting that similar repercussions could be on the cards for the average. everyday american, we discussed biden's policies with earl rasmussen of the racial center. she was exactly right. she, her statement as far as that. this is not about ukraine. it's not about european values. it's not about democracy. it's about regime change. it's about containment of russia and ultimately regime change. and ultimately, i would say dismantling of russia as well. i think similar is happening. we've got

another play going on with taiwan and china, also filthy gabbert, carl mcgregor brand, greenwald, the whole list of them. unfortunately, they're not widely heard and most of the media is completely controlled. it's projecting whatever the policy of the government is. and i mean if you listen tennis, nbc, or c, and then it's like somebody wrote a script from them and they're leaving, you don't even have basically the saying the same thing over and over again. it's healthy gabbert right on the money and has hit completely correct in her statement . on monday, india mugs, 75 years of independence from british rule and anniversary, also linked to a rather divisive chapter in his history known as the partition. that when british india was broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan and the move led to the vast displacement of people and bloody classes on the newly drawn border.

swati is around young, shut him now. looks back to that time. v o 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 back around in his study. when we get both rooms done, when and when the nation long. so 1st i got a 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 focused on 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 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 now 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, joe han, across the border as to lamar lake, 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. 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, believed like brothers. the hade was brave by politics and the british,

where did ruins and sharma, arte but job. berlin's and alice had had suspended his involvement in the un peacekeeping mission, to marley off the local authorities. and the country refused to let a german military plane enter its aspects 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 wished that the security of our territory in the air would be guaranteed exclusively by the 1000000 armed forces. we've always said that, and that's what we wanted. in february, france announced its soldiers will be leaving molly after 9 years there. and this came, as there was all the thousands of protesters who took to molly and streets calling for a french withdrawal while also supporting russian assistance in the country. and after

that, put out germany analysis would draw down as participation in military programs that are true. but still continue to provide troops to the u. n. separations and the west african nation. well, research at the university of paris 8 units. both fella says the western presence in that region 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 to 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 to democratic changes in these countries. in particular, through partially organized kuda, top 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. 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 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. a 4 year old child born biologically female, announced she was actually a boy by firing blue colored smoke confetti. in a big celebration of video footage,

show the child's announcement in front of a charing crowd, the pride parade, and bang hoover, where the girl stood with her. grandma, the parents said that child showed masculine patterns from the age of 2, and it was her own decision to make the announcement a canadian activists or chris elson says the government is passing laws that actually stop parents from preventing these kinds of things. this is completely inappropriate to be teaching children that they might not be their biological sex just because a girl likes boys clothes, and plays with boys, which is the case of this little 4 year old girl and doesn't mean any less of a girl that is totally insane and what's even worse is this child was celebrated as being the opposite sex at me, vancouver pride parade, where thousands of people joined in and celebrating the delusion that our society is pushing upon children today. and what's happening in our society today is our

government has passed laws which prevent parents from being able to stop this child abuse of their own children. we have to put a stop to this because what this leads to is the medical ation of children and they are getting experimental puberty bucker's the opposite text and hormones and even surgery, the children's like cutting off the breast of girls as young as 12 years old. in north america, so this is the biggest child abuse medical scandal we've ever seen. well, the video of the child and also went viral on social media and sports and online debate. many criticising the thoughtless parents are stating that a child of such a young age cannot be responsible for such decisions. if a 4 year old can now make life altering decisions on changing their gender, or they responsible enough to vote by beer sign a contract, dr. enlist in the military, a 4 year old coming as transgender while they don't make the difference between both sex yet. do you think it's normal? well, let me tell you, but no,

it's not. these people are insane for forcing the idea into their kid like that. who in their right mind, thinks a 4 year old is capable of deciding something like this offer and founder of sex change regret won't hire, says that no 4 year old can fully understand the concept of gender, or even the consequences of making such a decision. no kid, 4 years old, has any idea of what gender is, what the consequences of making such a statement is. we need to understand that nobody, their brain is not developed until they're 25 years old. fully developed brain does not occur until you're 25. so a 4 year old has an undeveloped brain, has no idea what they're talking about. basically, this is absolutely deplorable and sickening that adults will even allow a child to make such a state. the kids aren't really involved in the g p. d. this is parents using their

children using their children for their own special purposes. so their purpose actually is the parents have some mental disorder and actually need to say colleges and should not be the people in charge of their young children. but us, a secretary of state assures that the us is not competing with anyone in the sub saharan region while on tour to south africa and the democratic republic of congo. and were wonder earlier in the week though, pointing the finger in russia though for the global food crisis, blinking in his visit, comes on the heels of russia's farm. and it's a live off receiving a very warm welcome in several countries in that region. just a few weeks ago, we've seen the repercussions of rushes worn ukraine, which are felt across the planet. and especially across africa in rising food and energy prices. what we seek most of all is a true partnership between the united states and africa. we don't want an

unbalanced or transactional relationship. and our commitment to a stronger partnership with africa is not about trying to outdo anyone else. when i come inside with the visit, the white house releases a document detailing it's new strategy towards sub saharan regions. now the plan promotes the u. s. involvement and will african nations various policies, including issues like pandemic, climate change, food security, food scarcity, while lincoln refute says tours. an attempt to counter russia and china is vastly growing. ties with a continent report released by the white house on the us strategy. and the region does seem to suggest otherwise. the people's republic of china by contrast, see the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. and we can us relations with african peoples and governments, russia views the region as a permissive environment for paris, data and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. so while the us

does the continuous presence in the region, china and austin's of south africa, the biggest trading partner moscow's trade with the country is also on the rise with monthly exports from russia in january, growing to more than 4 times that of the same time last year and the as the us secretary of state, i tried to convince south africa to actually sever ties with russia and china, and south africa top different races concerns that those who are using the countries natural resources are actually the ones, the stabilizing, the region. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally a rear, unfounded. a belief in the relationship that we have with eva country is also a concern about countries that have mineral interest in african countries are not there as a destabilizing force. so i think we need to look at the full plethora of problems

that give rise to insecurity, bad governance. and the absence of democracy on the african continent is not a one country problem in his new strategy. washington also sites quote, a long and proud history of supporting africa. when joe ultman, a host of the conservative daily podcast, says perhaps said so the u. s. you should take some responsibility for perhaps destabilizing the continent. i don't think the u. s. has ever cited the sovereignty of other nations and when they talk about destabilization they can look no further than themselves. and the sad part about with the us says it's just a bunch of rhetoric and look, i'm, i'm an american and i'm proud to be an american. but the apparatus within the us government has long been a d, stabilizing force and almost putting at, you know, african place for the can't grow that can't excel at the same rate that other countries across the world are growing. and that has a lot more to do with their natural resources and how they can get access to those

resources. so no, i don't believe they respect the sovereignty of any decision that they make. and i am actually fearful that it's going to become a tug of war and the people of those african natives. 54 nations are the ones that are going to suffer and the african nation. firstly, south africa does not trust the united states. many nations don't trust united states, i don't think anything united states does right now will be seen as anything other than grandstanding and making empty promises that they will near to the future not be able to deliver af, after joining us or not. he international highlighting the top stories of the week and all this. allah appreciate your company will. coming up next here on this network is there an exclusive chat between my colleague unit o'neill and roger waters, the co founder of pink floyd. he doesn't hold back his statement, certainly not biting his tongue. he touches down on ukraine, a taiwan soviet cause of, of an exclusive chat coming up next on audience nash. ah,

mr. what is you are very welcome to r t international. thank you for your time today. can we sit down in 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 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 said the 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 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. i mean out i could

talk about miko, smoke cornish em. 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 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 with al into, for just a little longer. i, as you say, i 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 liner 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 bactrim you 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 code 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, if you're going to get to the ukraine at some, well, yeah, 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 boys 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 or thank in the states and canada,

and few in mexico and, and, and we have a very powerful message in the, in the show that i'm doing, 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, all nationality. and it's 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 ukraine. 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 and taiwan, 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 rusher either. i don't speak russian. so i,

i don't claim to know a great deal about m an 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 a 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, my father died in italy fighting the 3rd, right? you know, i, i have a deep sleep bested emotional interest in what happens to my brothers and sisters, including all the indigenous people who been treated. so polling leave for the last 500 years by we europeans, we set colonialists. so i have dogs in that.
