ah, a with nuclear disaster hangs over the continent. the ukrainian military shells europe's biggest nuclear power plant. this is according to the russian envoy at the united nations usaa secretary of state, anthony blink, and looks to confirm america's commitment to africa earlier in the week. while blaming russia for the continents food problems and india prepared to mock 75 years of independence from british rule and the politician of the country into india and pakistan. here on our team, we hear the story of one man whose family was split between the states. it's been

75 years ago, and i remember those days that they, when we were separated and you never came back, only your memories remain with stories of the week. the main headlines over this, our welcome to the program. it's international. the head of the russia backed administration in ukraine's that zappa dorothy region says authorities are now considering shutting down the nuclear power plant. that's as the ukranian army once again shelled the power station. all these equal external reports from the crowd. these are for oscar nuclear power plant is being showed relentlessly and well 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 held 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, you feel like you were super approvals, 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 a shelling its own positions is a shelling its own infrastructure. so something that most or 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 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 impacts effectively, the entire country would have to go through the nuclear fallout. bella roost parts 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 le, for weeks, russia has been calling for the international atomic energy agency to come and visit the power plant. but the i a, a chief stated that the law un security council meeting is that quote. there is no immediate threat to the nuclear power plant right now. while the u. s. representative put the blame fully on russia and demanded a full withdraw of russian troops from around the facility who actually secured the plot in march and have been guarding it ever since. the cause of the situation at

the zip reach, your facility is not a mystery. it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to further invade. it's sovereign neighbor, ukraine, russia alone created risks, and it can eliminate those risk now, by withdrawing from ukraine. la, turning a blind eye to well, why and how the conflict in ukraine actually started is just covering up the west. real intention is to hold on. that's according to the former american senator richard black. right now there are such enormous force from the wes, 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 buying 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. they started this war. it was, they tell the started the war because they forced brushes back to the wall where the president, he had no alternative for to defend the sovereign territory of russia. and he had to launch an attack to do that. in order to preempt the attack. ukraine was planning against the don bass. president joe biden's policies have been dismissed as having very little to do with democracy. in an interview with former congresswoman policy gathered, basically casting doubt that washington's actions in ukraine of the country's best interests at heart of a lesson. 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 joe biden. it's even about bringing about quote, a new world order. it's not the 1st time told the guy that has been critical of biden's policies on fox news. she also pinned europe's energy crisis on the us president, suggesting that similar repercussions could be on the cards for every day americans . and we discussed govern starnes with url ross, music of the erasure 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 felt gabbert, colonel mcgregor, grand greenwald, the whole list of them. unfortunately, they're not widely heard in most to the media is completely controlled. it's projecting whatever the policy of the government is adding. if you listen sam s n b c 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 and her statement crying foul over what they say is discrimination. as can refugees in britain say they're not getting the same level of treatment as those from ukraine. this one and i get if that was still at a muscular though, i see the ukrainians are settling in their homes and they have homes. we are not against the ukrainians. they are also refugees and have were in the country. they

should be supported, that we want equal support to all refugees. and afghans should also have the same support. it seems that the behavior of the u. k. government is discriminatory and there is racism here and feeling musson a oh of the, the u. k. government gifts 1st priority to ukrainian refugees, even as we see in the street and bizarre ukrainians brought their personal vehicles to the k on and are moving around, afghans don't get the same attitude as ukrainians get from the u. k. government. so this is against human rights and against the refugee rights and request from the united kingdom government to implement the refugee law to all wreckage is equally and give us our home soon plus of europe. but double standards is common practice in world politics. that's according to the use diplomacy, chief, joseph burrell, or the admission came as the official was questioned on special western support for ukraine. we are often criticized for having double standards,

but international politics is largely the administration of double standards. we do not face all problems with the same criteria or the you appears to be following the same practice. that's as are the brought, considers closing as borders to russian citizens with shank and visas is artie contributor rachel marston with her opinion and thoughts funny. remember how that you reacted when former president of the united states donald trump did exactly the same kind of thing in 2017 and signed an executive order to stop issuing visas to people from random list of countries here. chad around libya, north korea, somali assyria venezuela. and yemen, citing national security, but we do not discriminate on the basis of nationality, grace, or religion. not only when it comes to asylum, but in any of our other polis,

no one can be deprived of his or her own rights because of their place of birth, their religion, more than any city. this is written in our constitutions, both in europe and in america. this is who yada. this is our identity. this is something we cannot forget. oh, it's their very identity. it's written in stone. it's written in the constitution, except now apparently you're going to make exceptions when it comes to ukraine and russia. so remember all those terrorist attacks in france a few years ago? not even at that time, was there a blanket ban from jihadist hotspots. it's always been a case by case assessment of each individual requesting a visa to travel, not an arbitrary blanket ban on a whole nation. and to do otherwise has always been viewed as totally contrary to the use own values. not to mention a pretty troubling precedent because, i mean, today it could be russian citizens, a national,

some wrote could be any one else. they don't happen to agree with policy wise. but now, according to the use top diplomat, the e is apparently embracing the double standards that it once rejected because, well, hey, that's just how the world is. apparently, here in paris, for example, to female russian visitors were denied entry by officials at the chateau thus sen, tourists site. at the end of july, french government had to clarify this week that the checking of visitors, id and nationalities only applies to actual military installations and not to tourist sites like museums and shall toes. but now we also have a german cabinet, spoke to person, confirming that a proposal to ban russian nationals from the e. u is actually under consideration. now it's all hypothetical at this point. it's important to underline that, but it still can't be rolled out since it's yet another demand coming straight from ukrainian president library zalinski who tends to get a lot of what he wants from the west. and now zalinski is calling on the west to

ban all russian travelers saying that they should quote, live in their own world until they change our philosophy. guessing means also little kids and anyone in russia who might be part of that civil society that supports him as well. or are they going to get social passes? how is that gonna work? estonia and finland are also pressuring the blogs authorize this that. so you know who needs values when you can just posture and blow v 8 depending on the direction of the political wind, it remains to be seen which of brussels faces will ultimately prevail on this particular issue. the one that defends its most basic stated principles or the one that hipaa critically betrays them to virtue signal over the cause of the day. so on monday, india marx, 75 years of independence from british rule and anniversary, also linked to a divisive chapter and its history known as the pas titian. and that's when british india was broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan. and the move

lead to the boss displacement of people and bloody clashes on the newly drawn border. ortiz or dungeon shot him now looks back to the time via a one man's personal 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 moving to the new. when the new gin and with 70 sizes, the go to send sees of british rules came to an end. but one of the most diverse sub continents in the world was now divided into 2 hindu majority, india and muslim homeland to pakistan. this british lead blonde, resulted in the biggest forced migration of the 20th century. over to 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 struggles 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 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 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 that david, clearly the partition has been harshest on the nub and state of punjab during a ball. 2 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, muslim friend chill 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 remain 75 years ago. believe raj until hom 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 hate was bred by politics and the british, but it did ruins and sharma arti, but job legendary french heroine, joan of arc, will appear before audiences of the famous london globe theater. like never before this time as a gender neutral character and a drastic re thinking by the globes. artistic director, the patron saint of france, will be played by isabel paul, may non binary actor in a new production. i. joan written by a non binary author. the play includes de and them pronouns, and according to shakespeare's home theaters management aims to quote question the gender binary. the decision to strip joan of arc of gender identity ignited heated debates on line with actually thousands of people criticize in the globe for its approach on history. congratulations,

you've managed to insult the majority of women in the world. the catholic church for whom john the fark, was a patron saint and the french saint john has and will be a source of strength for women and girls flown after the globe returns to rubble. these people are pathetic. the cult of the pronoun brigade strikes again. she was a woman and a role model for women and girls. stop stealing all women, stop the crap. the globes john the fire tis yet another attempt to remove women from their rightful stories and spaces. the whole thing has got so far out of hand . now it's beyond parody, i won't be watching this or anything that seeks to neutralize or minimize what a woman is. alright, let's learn more about this now and cross live to discuss csc with money. her last are a lawyer and community activist joining us here. we're now she and national

a very warm welcome to you. what do you think about the globes departure from the traditional joan of arc depiction. right, so i was actually really surprised how much debate this has stirred up. and i think in my opinion, i think was sort of happening. the issue is very interesting because we have 2 groups that have faced discrimination. you have women that historically faced discrimination and, but you also have 9 but 9 binary people. and just to be clear, 9 binary individuals are individuals who do not identify with any gender male or female. and i think whenever you have a situation, you really have, you know, to sort of disadvantage groups that are both fine to be heard. you know, and i think also like my opinion and i feel like both sides think really, really valid viewpoints. on one hand, i do personally believe and support artistic expression. you know, so here we have the globe. everything display, you know, which re creates the historical figure of arkansas binary. i mean,

i personally believe that should be an interesting take and definitely an idea to be explored. i can, i can, i don't know because i want to talk about a please, you know, going, going back. she was born in the 15th century so, so basically, i don't even show can i call or a hero, or can i call her a heroine right now? i'm getting really confused about this, but for apparently, for 600 years, joe dog was a woman. something just changed. yes. yes, that i think, you know what you say. i mean, i think the issue really here is, you know, you're balancing artistic that the artistic expression and freedom of a theater trip to produce a play. you know, versus the fact that, you know, john of are, she was a woman and i think for a lot of the feminist is what you actually see. and that, you know, she's been celebrated and i, you know, immortalized as

a woman. so why do you have this theatre production? not, you know, making her women and also what's interesting on twitter as, but i've seen some of the comments on it's a lot of the feminists are asked asking, why are butch women women not thought of as women, but more as non binary or trans men. and many fin feminists, i think, would argue that semen entity and eminent is not a core value of what it is to be a woman. so, you know what example of this is the comedian had a gas b in her netflix and show called the net. and she says it as, as a butch woman, she does not identify with being non binary work or chance gender. she, you know, it's kind of funny, she'll say, identify with being tired. so, you know, i feel like you have these, you know, sort of new identities coming in, you know, very, very recently,

and i think the world we're trying to kind of grapple with that. but my boss who's, who's, who's behind all this, who's doing this transgender agenda? listen, that there's a very entering into view. if you look at it on you tube or t channel or t chief margaret of someone. yeah. and she sat down with the russian foreign minister, so to law, for, for very recently they talked about this whole transgender agenda and margarita asked, you know, who's behind this, who's profiteering behind this? because there are many who believe that there's some movement, all powerful organization, or whoever they are, that's pushing she manatee, towards being an a sexual or gentleness species who's behind all this? well, it's a very interesting question. ah, you know, i mean, it just like be, i'm a professional figure skater. i teach figure skating. and i teach a lot of kids and we have a couple of kids at the rank that are coming out is 9 by now binary. and, you know, i think there's a lot of people that just don't feel comfortable in their own skin as, as a man or

a woman. and i think, you know, i think, you know, people have the right to explore, you know, whenever identity that they feel comfortable with. yeah. i mean, do i think i, you know, children should be, you know, pushed into ok. you know, the sort of medical surgery that transforms them like i think they should be an adult before they make those kinds of decisions. but, you know, i think this is something very, very new and i think, you know, right, is a very good point very, i'm sort of jumping in. but you know, this is the thing isn't in our children today being entrusted with making a decision on their own. i mean, even a, for a 4 year old child before you're right. you know, they're there. i, i was reading something online recently about about a, about a woman who had a hood, a boy, he was about 4 years old or so, and he decided in his own words, he didn't like his p p. i'm because of that. he got together his mother, they had a big talk about and she said, okay, get rid of it. you can change your agenda. so he changes is generally the age of 4

or 5 years old. does i don't understand that. yeah, i mean that's a very, very extreme case and i like it, in my experience, we have, you know, teenagers that are sort of, you know, grappling with, you know, what is the identity they feel comfortable and, and, you know, i mean, i feel like we should all be mindful and respectful of that and not, but i do think it's hard for i think i think it's hard for a lot of people, especially from the older generation to you know, kind of, i kind of embraced this concept of different pronouns when you know they've dealt with income inequality and loss of jobs and you know, their communities, i've been displaced because of gentrification. like there's so many other like, you know, economic, you know, economic issues that have really affected people and working families and, you know, i think there's a big segment of the population that would say, oh my god, those are the issues that we really should be concentrating on to improve people, i think you raised some very good points them on. you know,

you talk about the economics, for example, in the state today. you, there are so many worries. and so many issues that politicians are on the world really should be focusing on it, but politicians or artists or, or whoever these people are behind this trans jenda agenda. my final question, money before i let you go to my, my last question for you as well. it's all well and good for you and me to make up our minds about l g, b, t, q stuff or gender issues. but when it comes to children today, there are many saying that just being indoctrinated in schools to, to go along with this and we should, we as potentially parents be worried about what this might be doing to the heads and minds of children today. listen, i think children are going to be exposed to many, many, many different things in school with their friends on the internet. i think it's really incumbent on parents to have like, good, solid relationships with their children. we have these discussions and, you know, and really see like, you know, is this an issue where you're comfortable with your gender identity or is it

something else that we need to address? and i think it's really, it's the parents really have to be on top of this issue, money, a lawyer and community activities. joining us here, no story, i really appreciate that, by the way. really interesting insight. thanks a lot for your time. and i had a great time, thank you for having me see you soon when it's good to have you with us today for the program on our t. v. a u. s. secretary of state assures that the u. s. is not competing with any one of the sub saharan region. all of this was on a, to a, to south africa, the d n. c and everyone to just a bit earlier in the week. a blinking visit coming hot on the heels of rushes, 4 minutes a lateral if you did receive a very warm welcome. in a number of countries on that continent. we seen the repercussions of russia's warren, ukraine, which are felt across the planet, especially across africa in rising food and energy prices. what we see 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 out. do anyone else? when a coinciding with the visit at the white house released a document, detaining it's brand new strategy towards sub saharan regions of the plan promotes u. s. involvement on investment and african nations policies, including issues like pandemic, climate change, and food security. bob lincoln refutes his tours, an attempt to counter russia and china is growing ties with the continent. report released by the white house on u. s. strategy in the region. however, it does seem to suggest that the y, 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 of the permissive environment for paris deals and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. while the u. s. a

. mr. continuous presence in the region, china now stands as south africa. the biggest trading partner of moscow is trade with a country also on the rise with monthly export from russia up more than 4 times in the past year. all of this is the us secretary of state, try to convince south africa to separate ties with both russia and china and south africa. the top diplomat says the blame for problems on the continent actually rests with those who are capitalizing on the regions. resources. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally a really and found it a belief in the relationship that we have with eva country is also a concern about countries that have mineral interest in african countries and as a destabilizing full. so i think we need to look at the full thought of problems

that give rise to insecurity, bad governance, and the absence of democracy on the african continent. it's not a one country problem and it's new strategy. washington also sites long and proud. history of supporting africa. so we discussed this strategy with joe ultman, the host of the conservative daily podcast. i don't think the u. s. is every sites in 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 u. s. says this 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 u. s . government has long been a destabilizing force and almost putting at, you know, african, a place where they can't grow, they 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 decisions that they make. and i, 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 the united states, i don't think anything the united states does right now will be seen as anything other than grandstanding and making empty promises that they will mirror to the future not be able to deliver on. i thought around the news cost with his how he'd lie from moscow, an anti international, just about half past 6 in the morning here. now in moscow, thanks so much for joining us. ortiz on telegram gab an odyssey. check out our social media platforms view latest up to the date moments when you, when you ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

with ah, with with churchill the goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world there, which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere and to market and to labor had 2 resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict. the interest churchill wound stolen of an impending attack on the.
