ah, with nuclear disaster hangs over the continent as the ukrainian military shells europe's biggest nuclear power plant. that's according to russia's envoy to the united nations. us the secretary of state, anthony blink and lips to confirm america's commitment to africa. earlier in the week while he was at touring the continent at the same time, blaming russia, africa's ongoing food problems. and as 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 this day. it's been 75

years. i remember those days that day when we were separated and you never came back, only your memories remain with the top stories of the week and over this hour. welcome to the weekly here were naughty international. so the head of the russia administration in ukraine's apology region says authorities a considering now shutting down the nuclear power plant. thus, as the ukranian army again showed the power station correspondent is there on the ground. his ortiz ecos daniels. these are for oscar nuclear power plant is being shown relentlessly and well quite religiously by the ukrainian side. today's yet another instance of their attempts to well caused damage to the facility and now it has been shut 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 force as this is according to the russian side. you feel like it was super rules. if the attacks of ukrainian army continue a new killer 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 that shelling its own positions is a shelling its own infrastructure, so something that most or has clearly brushed off. 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 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 for weeks, russia has been calling for the international atomic energy agency to visit the power plant. but the i e, a chief stated at the law asked un security council meeting that quote. there is no immediate threat to the nuclear plant. now, while the u. s. representative put the blame fully on russia and demanded a full withdrawal over russian troops who actually secured the plant in march and have been guarding it ever since. the cause of the situation at is if we ship

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 could eliminate those risk now, by withdrawing from ukraine while turning a blind eye to why the call from the in ukraine started is just covering up the west's real intentions. now hold on, that's a coding to the american 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 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 form, a congresswoman tulsa gathered cost of doubt, that washington's actions in ukraine have the country's best interest at heart of the listen. 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. and it's not the 1st time that policy 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 in store for the everyday average american. we discussed gathered stones with ernest, resolution of the eurasia 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 the gabbert colonel mcgregor grand greenwald, the whole list of them. unfortunately, they're not widely heard in most to the media. it's completely controlled. it's projecting whatever the policy of the government is adding. if you listen tennis, nbc, or cnn, 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 that her statement is good with us for the program here are not said on monday, india mock, 75 years of independence from british rule. none of us are also linked to a divisive chapter and its history known as the partition. that when british india was broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan on the move led to the

vast displacement of people and bloody clashes on the newly drawn border. ne runjun shot by now looks back to the time via one man's personal story. good night when the way speak in. yeah. when a week later in a moment come which come much around in his study when we ship out a new when and with long i don't know 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, owed a 1000000 people lost their lives in what became to known as the partition. my

grandparents were amongst the millions of people who made that journey from across the border during partition. i couldn't get to know their stories and struggled as i was quite young when i lost them a chance of hearing 1st hand accounts of people who had similar experiences. maybe i know well well mean johnny. do you remember that day? what happened on 15th august 1947. when the partition happened, we were here in the same village, the same district of good westport. i remember when the line was drawn, but it still wasn't decided on which side my village would fall. 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. the men from our village 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 spurn job during about millions of hindus seeks and muslims who had lived together in harmony for generations. over the decades that followed some last conduct or does managed to maintain their friendship. believe raj, who's now 92 goals, his childhood muslim friend, chill hon. 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 laughed. there was law amongst us,

believed like brothers. the hate was bred by politics and the british. where did you ruin sharma, arty? but job? i tempest her and moscow. the u. s. secretary of state assures that the u. s. is not competing with any one in the sub saharan region or these comments while on tour a south africa, the dnc, andrew wanda, just a bit earlier in the week. no surprise up lincoln's visit comes hot on the heels of russia's foreign minister. so to get lateral, if he received a very warm welcome in several countries on the continent, we seen the repercussions of rushes worn 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 outdo anyone else. coinciding with that visit or the white house releases

a document detailing it's new strategy towards sub saharan regions of the plan promotes u. s. investment and involvement in african nations, policies like issues pandemic, st. climate change food security and well blank. and refute says tor is an attempt to count or russia and china's growing ties with the continent. a new report released by the white house on us strategy in the region. however, it does seem to suggest otherwise the people's republic of china, by contrast, the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. and we can us relations with african peoples and governments. russia use the region as a permissive environment for paras, stables, and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. while the u. s. aims to continuous presence in the region. china now stands a south africa's biggest trading partner. and most goes trade without country also

on the rise monthly exports from russia up more than 4 times in the past year. and all of this as the u. s. secretary of state tries to convey the south africa to sever ties with both russia and china, or south africa talk different about, says a blame for problems on the african 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 interests in african countries and as a destabilizing force. so i think we need to look at the floor 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 in its new strategy. washington also sites quote, a long and proud history of supporting africa. we discussed the strategy with joe ultman, host of the conservative daily podcast. i don't think the u. s. has ever respected the sovereignty of other nations and when they talk about the stabilization, they can look no further than themselves. and the sad part about with 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 u. s. government has long been a d, stabilizing 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 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, especially 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 learn in the future. not be able to deliver on a 3 day conflict between israel and the islamic jihad group has come to an end by the violence claimed the lives of $44.00 gods residents, including 15 children. the un high commissioner for human rights voice to la over the number of kids killed during the israeli military operation and to monitor those responsible be held to account. let's show you how the gaza skyline looked shortly before the truce was implemented. a it's a show you the aftermath of and is ready asked right on

a residential neighborhood. a hundreds of buildings were damaged or destroyed in garza during the strikes. so we went to, we got feedback from the locals, the sabbath without any warning, they targeted the area near the kuwaiti hospital. or, of course, it is a camp, crowded with children, women, and the elderly. they targeted houses with 6 missiles, 6 houses were completely destroyed. below for the attack was very terrifying. we ran away in panic and fear among the children and women in the machine should. the bulldozers could not go through. so they asked me to demolish my house. so that they could enter to save people from the inside. i agreed and allowed them to act as people's lives are more important and saving them is more valuable than my house . chavez and southern israel came under rocket fire as well, with many people forced to seek shelter and various bomb formations. bombshell did you say televi, for example, ask along jerusalem people will huddling bear the islamics you had a group reportedly fired more than 1000 rockets. as we understand there were no

serious casualties reported. so we got reaction from the streets of israel on the violence and the current truce. the fire is just a big bluff considering all that happens here was the rocky color. if we didn't have the defense system. thank god for the day we would have been a 2nd train. i really hope the fire will last long and that we are at least able to live a bit quietly to meet him or never gave anyone anything. good. so peter, something big, and i really want our kids and the people of israel to feel secure in our country. meanwhile, a pro palestinian activist has criticized social media platforms for binding his post morning, a child killed and israel's reason to tax on gaza. a british rappa low key, so it is post of a 5 year old palestinian girl killed in a reason to attack on the gaza strip. was quoted shadow ban of the facebook and instagram mark the post as violent. loki claims the content was censored after an

alert from an israeli cyber unit. and the girl in question was playing outside when she was hit by shrapnel, which also injured her 7 year old brother. she became the 1st victim of israel, the latest bombing campaign in garza facebook meantime, and its defendants has previously blamed artificial intelligence for mistakenly binding similar content. palestinian activists claim that since the start of 2022, the number of content to take down request submitted by israel has increased by 800 percent. israel meanwhile, has commanded its cyber unit in the past is being successful in getting online content removed and social media advocate. mo nash tire says, palestinians voices are simply being silenced. syncing policy and voices and silencing palestinian voices had abandoned us answering our content, is affecting how we can share. our story is how we can command that crime violation

is that people are exposed to on the ground. our narrative is being censored and lined, and this contributes to silencing our voices as to typing us. this has a bigger impact whenever, like we are talking with the international audience. whenever we are talking with a group palestinian audience who are trying to get to know what's happening there on the ground, they can't get the full picture because our, our content is basically sensor. so whenever we are trying to share stories of policy as a way coded using those attacks, it's also since it's from the social media companies. and this means that this is like a contributing to sensing our voices and preventing us from document into human rights violations. that we are exposed to this week, some european countries have been discussing various methods, just sanction russia is the brought consider as barring russians from getting shang again, visa, so they can visit europe. it follows as a number of politicians called on you to deny russians any access to europe,

as long as the conflict in ukraine continues. moscow slammed the initiative as russo phobic saying it's been 80 years since sentiment similar to those recent remarks by finland and estonia were lost voice on the european continent. it's not right that at the same time as rush his waging and aggressive, brutal war of aggression in europe. russians can live a normal life travel in europe. the tourists. it is not right. stop a sheen to resist to russians. visiting europe is a privilege, not so human rights. at trial from russia shut down, it means washing and congress. each of these, his neighbors to russia, carried the badge in time to an tourist from russia. now latvia for its part, has made a contentious stipend against russia. the bolder country declared russia was a state sponsor of terrorism, claiming moscow intentionally target civilians in ukraine. the russian foreign ministry has lashed out of the motion, defining it as a provocation. another hostile action by lot fin lawmakers fits

perfectly into the anti russian hysteria unleashed by riga. after all, it is well known that the pathological russo phobia of lat fee is ruling elite, has already caused serious economic and social issues in this baltic country. bringing down the standard of living for its population. and it's only getting worse. some in europe have noticed the blocks self hom policy towards russia, and one of them austrian presidential candidate gerald gross, told all to you that brussels tries to shift the blame for its quote skits of frantic policy on russia. earlier, he also broke down the situation for local media. you may see me. good thanks. the voice came through email holmes. latoya is shamika barnes. the board can cost me well, this home gives me the answer. younger guys on my company in a sense of a no, you cannot do without energy on one hand and then complain about the lack of energy

and fear, black out on the other speak of the devil. and the devil shows up that esc is a freak, and that is what currently characterizes to european elite skis of freedom, yet they are in favor of sanctions against russia. on the one hand there waging their economic war against russia because of military conflict, that in reality, does not affect europe in any way. and on the other hand, they complain about the reaction to the economic war. namely, the lack of gas. guess is not only used for heating, but guess from russia, which we have received for the last 50 years, is also used to secure the electricity supply. this means that if you want to secure the supply of electricity on the european continent, then we must also an economic sanctions against russia and try to restore a reasonably satisfactory solution for the people through diplomacy. well, according to arti contributor rachel marston, she says that europe is only just now starting to experience the effects of its own

sanctions. it seems like a slow motion car crash here in france already. for example, we're seeing public officials using the u engineer gas shortage as an excuse to reduce public services. now, public swimming pools, both near paris and in the south of france, have made news recently when local governments said that they were shutting them down for the rest of the summer to save money. them air of capital. yes, which is in the south of france said the high costs now mean that she has to choose between purchases like organic food for kids, school lunches or the pool. so the pool got the axe during one of the hottest summers on record. so you can see the ball is already rolling on rationing, even in anticipation of a shortage later this year. and we haven't even begun to see where the knock on effects might pop up. now to make matters worse, norway, which is otherwise known as europe's battery, produces hydro electric energy that it typically exports to the you and to the u. k

. but now it's saying that because it's lacking water because of the dry and, and heat. it now feels that it will be able to step up and help with exports this year. and just when you think that things couldn't possibly get a worse, the financial times is now reporting that european utility companies like frances energy giant, o. d, f are sounding the alarm over radioactive, contamination of liquefied natural gas deliveries from britain to the u. i originally sourced from the us and cutter. the problem could to cause pipelines between britain and the e to close. and the new york times is reporting that the looming energy crisis is causing germany to reconsider and nuclear energy, a power source over which berlin has absolutely lambasted paris for maintaining. so i guess a better send gretta tumor over there to yell at them. maybe perhaps she can beat

zalinski in a screaming match because really all of economic and environmental harm, including the refusal to fire up the nordstrom to pipe language. less space. it's just sitting there, gathering dust is being done in the name of ukraine. i say yes, the government rules it out. we face difficult months ahead. but it is clear that we stand firmly on the side of ukraine and we stand behind the sanctions that we agree together with the european union in the international community. and it's not just europeans who are suffering, but also folks in the global south. europe is also apparently dragging along countries like pakistan and bangladesh behind the energy price roller coaster. the fact that emerging countries in south asia, like pakistan, for example, are currently experiencing one power blackout after the other is also a consequence of europe's failed energy policy. in its attempt to free itself from its dangerous dependency on russia. record speed, the u. s. causing massive turbulence on the global energy markets,

which hip poor countries particularly hard, but least europe is united right? well, maybe not counting those opting out from the gas cuts or poland, which wants the rest of europe to keep their hands off polish gas. russian president vladimir putin may not be quaking in his boots at all this stella competence, but europeans sure might be as winter approaches. legendary french heroine, joan of arc, will appear before audiences of the famous london globe theater. like never before . as a gender neutral character and a drastic re thinking by the globes autistic director, the patron saint of france, we played by isabel, tom made known binary actor and a new production i. jones, written by a non binary ortho. on the play includes they and them pronouns and according to shakespeare's home theaters management aims to quote question the agenda:

binary. the decision to strip joan of arc of gender identity, united heated online debates with 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 joan of arc was a patron saint and the french saint joan has and will be a source of strength for women and girls. long after the globe returns to rebel. 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 our women! stop the crap! the globes joan of arc is yet another attempt to remove women from their own rightful stories and spaces. the whole thing has got so far out of hand. now it's beyond parity. i won't be watching this or anything that seeks to neutralize or minimize what a woman is on the issue of a gender las jonah voc. i discussed it earlier just

a bit earlier in the program with lawyer and community activist, mani hasa of our she was a woman and i think for a lot of the feminist is, but you actually see, i'm is odd that you know, she's been celebrated and i you know, i'm immortalized as a woman. so why do you have the cedar production not, you know, making her what hind all this? who's doing this transgender agenda? listen, there's a very interesting interview. if you look at it on youtube, will archie channel, archie, chief ma greatest ammonia, and she sat down with the russian foreign minister. so get left for it. 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 organizational or whoever they are. that's pushing humanity towards being in a sexual all gender, las species who's behind all this? well, it's a very interesting question. ok, you know, i mean,

it just like be 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 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, whatever identity that they feel comfortable with. yeah. i mean, do i think no children should be, you know, pushed into 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 there. i'm sorry for jumping in, but you know, this is the thing, isn't it? now, 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 had 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 with mother, they had a big talk about and she said, okay, get rid of it. you can change your agenda so he changes his job. that's the program for now. here when i change a national, thanks for joining us, catch up on all of our stories via tele graham, a gab on auto. see we back soon with blue . with chris will never be a victory for russia. cream more is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as a mom on media comes to us, you can call me.
