find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look for common ground. a with nuclear disaster hangs over the continent as the ukrainian military shells, europe biggest nuclear power plot. that's all according to russia and void to the united nations. u. s. secretary of state anthony blank and looks to confirm america's commitment to africa early in the week while blaming russia for the continents food problems and of india prepared to mock 75 years of independence from british rule on the partition of the country into both india and pakistan here or not, he will hear the story of one man whose family was split between the states and its

been 75 years. i remember those days that they, when we were separated and you never came back, only your memories from me who the top stories of the week and all of this. our welcome to the program here, we're not you international. so the head of the russia back administration and ukraine's apology region says that authorities are considering now shutting down the nuclear power plant that sized the ukranian army reportedly again shelled the power station. here's the latest now from the ground correspondent, eagles daniels. 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 cause damage to the facility. now it has been held before it has been shelled literally hours before a before russia called 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 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 that shelling its own positions is a shelling its own infrastructure. so something that most who 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 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, while it's been out for weeks that russia has been calling for the international atomic energy agency to come and visit the power plant. but the i a e, a chief i stated to the last un security council meeting that quote, there is no immediate threat to the nuclear power plant right now. or the u. s. representative put the blame fully on russia and demanded a full withdrawal of 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 can eliminate those risks now, by withdrawing from ukraine. turning a blind eye to why the conflict in ukraine started is just covering up the west's real intentions. now hold on a 2nd. that's according to former american senator richard black. right now there is 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 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 nato. 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 that ukraine was planning against the don bass. i'm the see international faces and evaluation by external expert. so we'll look into it's a recent report on controversial ukrainian military tactics. that's according to media reports, and the experts a has drawn western scorn. i'm pretty harsh pushback from ukraine, including called to fire those at amnesty international who worked on the paper. i

misty faced a torrent of criticism off the publishing a report stating the ukrainian army was deliberately placing troops and military vehicles in a residential areas, therefore, deliberately endangering the lives of civilians, its co founder, pear. why spoke a resigned from his position following the release of this report? and the organization's chief, i can tell him, are defended. the report saying that work is impartial and accusations of bias against ukraine of baseless some media and even called for the human rights n g o. to close, it is time for amnesty international to completed 60 emission and go down in history before memories of the heroic days of the struggle for human rights have faded. the scandal with the ukrainian report is a moment that amnesty should season close its doors forever. it is the only remaining honorable exit worthy of a nobel peace prize. when, unfortunately, amnesty international did not understand this and thus it condemned itself to shameful and painful end. so all of this comes as i'm going to be called the

ukrainian tactics, a quote, violation of humanitarian law and called on kiev to stop putting civilians in harm's way. the report accuses ukraine of placing its army in schools and hospitals within residential areas. however, other outlets have been more balanced in their approach to what the report actually said. the organization says it's researchers documented multiple cases of ukrainian forces basing themselves in schools and hospitals and launching attacks from populated neighborhoods dry and russian fire that endangered civilian lives. president vladimir lensky would have done better to acknowledge that even his heroic defenders are capable of air and take the report to heart. instead of accusing amnesty of giving amnesty to the terror state and shifting responsibility from the aggressor to the victim, we discussed the issue with don kovachick human rights lawyer. he says it's strange

to criticize a human rights watchdog reporting on the ledge human rights violations. i think it's absurd. you know, i don't understand petitioning and human rights group because you don't like the fact that they're reporting on human rights abuses. let's face with people. you know, amazon international job, which honestly i don't see them largely carrying out is to be neutral. to tell, you know, both sides of the story of the one time they report truthfully, on the, you know, ukraine's violations that's appropriate, that people should not be lobbying them to, to change how they're reporting or to fire people who report on things that, you know, they find inconvenient, the whole point of a human rights group is to tell truth. people don't wanna hear, right? that's why they, these groups exist. so if they want to keep their integrity,

they should stand by the report not given to public pressure, not fire people because of the report. president joe biden's policies have been dismissed as having little to do with democracy in an interview form a congresswoman tulsa. gov would cost doubt that watching transactions in ukraine have the country's best interests at heart. now, 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 that joe biden. it's even about bringing about quote, a new world order. well, it's not the 1st time that tells the guy that has been critical of biden's policies on fox news. she also pinned europe's energy crisis squarely on the u. s. president suggesting that similar repercussions could soon be install for the average everyday american. so we discussed gabbert stance with earl ross,

newson 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 filthy gabbert, carl mcgregor grand greenwald, the whole list of them. unfortunately, the not widely heard in most of the media is completely controlled. it's projecting whatever the policy of the government is. and i mean if you listen, tanis 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. adult

gabbert right on the money and has hit completely correct and her statement on monday, india mark's 75 years of independence from british rule and anniversary. also linked to a divisive chapter in its history known as the pod titian. that's when british india was broken up into the separate states of india and pakistan. and of course the move led to the vast displacement of people and bloody clashes along the newly drawn border ortiz runjun shot him and looks back at the time v. a one man's personal story. a midnight oh. when the in yeah. when a week later, you don't a moment come rich, come lunch around in his study. when we did both on movies until the noon when and when the nation long. so 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 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 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 nub and state of been 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 hom, across the board don't have

a cell. i'm while a cool my king. it's been 75 years. i remember those days that they, when we were separated and you never came back, only your memories remain 75 years ago. molly 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 and we believed like brothers. the hate was bred by politics and the british over there did ruins and sharma arti. but job a 4 year old child born biologically female, announced that she was actually a boy did so by firing blue colored smoke confetti. in a big celebration, we can show you video footage, which i showed the child's announcement in front of a cheering crowd of pride parade, and vancouver where the girl stood with her grandmother. the parents said that the child showed masculine patterns from the age of 2. and it was our own decision to

make the announcement. and we discuss the issue with canadian activists. chris elson and author and founder of sex, change regret, walled higher. 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 as pass 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 leave to is the medical is ation of children and

they are getting experimental puberty bucker's the opposite sex and foremost, and even surgery, the children's, they're cutting off the breast. the girl is young. 12 years old in north america. so this is the biggest child abuse medical scandal we've ever seen. 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's 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 l g p, d. this is parents using their children using their children for their own special purposes. so their purpose actually is that parents have some mental

disorder and actually need to say colleges and should not be the people in charge of their young children. it is good to have with us for the program today. now the u. s. state secretary assures to the u. s. is not competing with anyone in the sub sahara and region. the comments made while he was on a tour of south africa, the dnc and rwanda. just a bit earlier in the week. though lincoln's visit comes hot on the heels of russia is foreign minister laughed off, who was touring africa as well across the continent, receiving a very warm welcome. 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. okay.

starting with that visit, the white house releases a while. the document does have a brand new strategy towards sub saharan regions. the plan promotes a u. s. investment and involvement in african nations policies like pandemic, climate change in food security. now while blink and refute says tours, an attempt or counter russia and china is growing ties on the continent. a report released by the white house on us strategy in the region. however, 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 of the permissive environment for paris deals and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. and while the u. s. ames to continue its presence in the region. china now stands, south africa's biggest trading partner and moscow's trade with the country is also

on the rise with monthly exports from russia up more than 4 times in the past year . all of this says the us secretary of state, try to convince south africa to separate ties with both russia and china, or south africa talk different about says, blame for problems on the continent. rests with those who are capitalizing on the regions. reasons, 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 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 this new strategy. washington also sites quote, a long and proud history of supporting africa. so we discussed the strategy with joe ultman, host of the conservative daily podcast. i don't think the u. s. is every state to the sovereignty of other nations and when they talk about destabilization they can look no further themselves. and the sad part about with the u. s. 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 destabilizing force in almost putting at, you know, african, a place for that 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 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 who are going to suffer. and the african nations 1st and south africa does not trust

the united states. many notions don't trust united states. i don't think anything united states does right now will be seen as anything other than a grandstanding and making empty promises that they will, mirrored in the future. not be able to deliver. we're committed to helping berlin's and alice, it has suspended its involvement in the u. n's peacekeeping mission. to molly, off the local authorities in the country, refused to allow a german military plane to enter its air space. there was in power in molly have not allowed the un mannesmann 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 melee and 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. this came

as a result of thousands of protesters who took to them ali and streets quoting for a french withdrawal. off of that, put out germany analysis. it would draw down. it's participation in military programs that to the still continued to provide troops to the u. n. z operations in the west african nation. while we're such at the university of paris, 8 unit bell fella says the western presence in the region has actually weakened the continent. currently, i believe the western countries have suddenly serious. he failed at molly. since the goals outlined to the very beginning by france, than by the un multi dimensional integrated stabilization mission and molly, which acted alongside 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 to, to top western countries, needs to 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. first of all, security, and then to address governance issues and create institutions. brushes 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 is well known that russia has good relations with many african countries. a 3 day conflict between israel and the islamic jihad group has come to an end. the bobbins claimed the lives of 40 full garza residents,

including 15 children. now the un high commissioner for human rights voiced alarm over the number of kids killed during the israeli military incursion and demanded those responsible be held to account that show for a moment here. how the gaza skyline look, just before the truce was implemented, the i'll show you the aftermath of and is ready strike on a residential neighborhood. you know, hundreds of buildings were damaged or destroyed, and garza during the strikes. so we hit the streets right there. we got feedback from the locals. those other things, without any warning, they targeted the area near the kuwaiti hospital, the who, of course, it is a camp, crowded with children, women, and the elderly, and such when they targeted houses with 6 missiles,

6 houses were completely destroyed. the lock for the attack was very terrifying. we ran away in panic and fear among the children and women get a live coverage. i wish it. well, 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 as more valuable than my house . and chavez will, did it on the southern israel also came under rocket fire, with many people forced to hide m. bomb shelters. televi vasquez on in jerusalem is i'm, as you had group reports, li, 5 more than 1000 rockets. however, as we understand, no serious casualties were reported. but we also got reaction from the streets of israel on the violence and that of the current truce there should resist. these fire is just a big bluff considering all that happens here was the rocket was if we didn't have the i'm don't defense system. thank god. today we would have been a 2nd ukraine, right? i really hope the ceasefire will last long and that we are at least able to live

a bit quietly but me term. mm hm. or never gave anyone anything good. so piece is something big and i really want our kids and the people of israel to feel secure in our country professing. meanwhile, a pro palestinian activist has criticized social media platforms for banning his post morning. a child killed in israel's reason, detox and gaza of british rappa low key says his post of a 5 year old palestinian ago killed in the reason violence on the gaza strip was quote, shadow band off the facebook and instagram marked the post as violent. loki claims the content was sense it after an alert from the israeli cyber unit. now as we understand, the girl was playing outside when she was hit by shrapnel, which also injured her 7 year old brother. she became the 1st victim of israel's latest bombing campaign of gaza. how facebook in his defense has previously blamed artificial intelligence for mistakenly banning similar content. palestinian

activists claim that since the start of 2022, the number of content take down request submitted by israel has increased by 800 percent. israel meanwhile, has commended its cyber unit in the past is being successful in getting online content removed or social media advocate. a mona style says at the end of the day, palestinians voices are just being silenced. syncing policy and voices and silencing palestinian voices had abandoned us and some change our content is affecting how we can share ours is how we can command that crime violations that people are exposed to on the ground. our narrative is being censored and lined, and this contributes to silencing our voices is to typing us. this has a bigger impact whenever, like we are talking with the international audience. whenever we're talking with a pro palestinian audience who are trying to get to know what's happening there on the ground, they can get the full picture because our, our content is basically sensor. so whenever we are trying to share stories of pet

is seen 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 our that's it for now. thanks so much for joining us here for the sunday program on our t international. do keep in mind if you would all tease across telegram odyssey gap on the other social media platforms to make sure you find us to get your latest up to date world headlines. ah, ah ah

most mundane occurrences of our daily life. but to the rational mind, this thought of a higher power is due to the original sin, which comes with the donation of being expelled from the eden of scientific method . but art science with a capital ass and the divine indeed so incompatible to discuss that i'm now joined by lisa miller, professor of psychology and education at columbia university. and also they awakened brain, the psychology of spirituality and our search for meaning. we say it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time and i'm delighted to be here in particular in conversation with you. i am one of your fans. well, so am i. well, i'm still in the process of relishing in your new book. i think it's main take away, it becomes pretty avid then some different pages you're argued that.
