a good picture of but they want to help the emergency services thing through the rubble and indeed help any victim. probably that they know, and just what you find the following images disturbing. the one fatality in the exclusion was said to have been the middle aged man footage film by locals up the scene is believed to show his body under the rubble among the other. victims was a 5 year old girl who was in intensive care what her conditions reported. steve will, will of course be kicked, even very sign developments in europe on, on any, an old verified details. we will bring them to the all right, let's move all know to major developments from the dunbar. the front lines this week where the russian defense ministry said the key town of pesky has now come under full russian control. the town is just outside the city of ben,
9:04 am
yet the capital of the den, yes, republic. now the settlement has been under key of control for 8 years with ukrainian army and fortifications building up formidable at tank areas and areas of defense there. the capture of baton is seen as a major milestone and pushing the frontline further from the nets. now russian trips have also been moving closer to the key strategic type of arch mob sc . among the advancing forces as a private russian military company called wagner, group ortiz acres at dallas was granted a rare opportunity to join them. and also to look at the abandon positions of ukrainian trips, who continue official say to you civilian areas as firing points several years ago . many weren't certain if this unit was real or just to spine chilling myth. it's the most reclusive and cryptic company fighting for russia and the don bass. this
9:05 am
is the wagner group. ah ah. the village of barcroft square refused to fool for weeks to defended. key of commander's deployed some of its veteran troops with plenty of experience in ugly warfare. so from the outside this looks like an anonymous village. hard just a civilian house, but trust me it is not. and as i go, please pay attention to this very badly decomposed body in ukrainian military
9:06 am
uniform. but if you were to just follow me, you will discover this again, an anonymous tool shed. and again, it is not, you can see the trench, the trenches over here. so this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing position. so what is this if not prove that ukrainians used civilian houses as their cover and basically anonymous places like this. but it takes more than just dirty tactics to stop the wagon a group dubbed as the orchestra, the ensemble and other music inspired nicknames. they pounded this very position for long, violent 8 hours until every one of the dozens of resisting ukraine's troops either fled or met their maker. this is one of the basements amid village houses, where the ukrainian troops used to shelter. this is a good hiding sport because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof
9:07 am
here is reinforced. and if you wondering what this ropers is done for safety, for closing the door remotely, the village is largely deserted, yet a handful of civilians with no other place to go remain at the same time. ukrainian forces are still shelling the place, targeting the musicians in a whack a mole style. we live together with the russian units. my husband is an insulin, we just ran out. i ordered some ones, then again, the delivery failed. now they've taken him somewhere. i think that will get the medicine without the insulin. things would be bad, he would die. the orchestra has moved on already. there are the 1st and only unit to have breached the defenses of the city, of our term, of the next big thing on this direction. ah,
9:08 am
i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian side, this is the under the village. and this is the last house here, which also turned out to be the final fortification on their way. acres at olive on the ground. meanwhile, the head of the russia backed administration in his upper rogia region sees authorities are considering shutting down the nuclear power plant there. europe largest. that's as the ukranian army again shell, the station on saturday. the territory of the plant has come under shelling for more than a week. now. multiple rocket launch, heavy artillery as well. but the news barking fears of another potential chernobyl like disaster and all the ramifications that would bring some days ago. one shilling incident occurred just hours ahead of the un security council meeting on the matter. here's what russia permanent representative about the united nations of
9:09 am
history. i think it was over. it was, 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 f, huge territories in ukraine. russia and other countries will be under the threat of radioactive contamination. the real scale of a new killer disaster at the plant is impossible to even imagine what all month russia has been calling for the international atomic energy agency to visit the power plant. but the a chief tool, the recent un security council meeting, but quote, there is no immediate threat to the nuclear plant. now, while the u. s. representative to the un put the blame for the situation fully on russia demanded a full withdrawal of russian troops. moscow though, said it is keeping the site secure the cause of the situation at the zip reach. a facility is not a mystery. it is another tragic result of the russian federation decision to
9:10 am
further invade its sovereign neighbour ukraine. russia alone created risks, and it could eliminate those risks. now, why withdrawing from ukraine? turning a blind di to why the conflict in ukraine started is just covering up the with real intentions to claim a former us states under richard black. right now, there are such enormous force from the west, from the us, from nato, from the united kingdom. there's 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
9:11 am
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 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 this the international is to face on the valuation by want it is calling external experts who will look into his recent report on controversial ukrainian military tactics. according to media reports, the expos, a drew western score on pushback from key f, including coals to fire those of amnesty, who worked on the paper. now the organization faced the torrent of criticism, while its co founder per westberg resigned from his position following its release
9:12 am
of the organization is chief agnes callum ard, defended the report saying the work is impartial and accusations of bias against ukraine are baseless. some media outlets have even called for the human rights and you 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 seize and close its doors forever. it is the only remaining honorable ex, it's worthy of a nobel peace prize. when unfortunately, amnesty international did not understand this and thus it condemned itself to shameful and painful end. yeah, i know on it went the type of criticism just to tell you about the report. it states that the ukrainian army was deliberately placing troops on military vehicles in residential areas and therefore endangering civilian lives. on this, they call the ukrainian tactics of violation of humanitarian law and urged to stop
9:13 am
putting civilians in harm's way. however, other media outlets were a little 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. join russian fire that endangered civilian lives. president vladimir said 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. well, we got some reaction from human rights lawyer done called black. who? this is the way he puts it. he said it's strange to criticize a human rights watch dog for reporting on alleged 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 people, you know, amnesty international job,
9:14 am
which honestly i don't see them largely carrying out is to be neutral. to tell, you know, both sides of the story and 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 out their report angle 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 done. call the lic, no president, biden's foreign policies have little to do with democracy. according to a leading american politician in an interview, former congresswoman tilting gabbert cast thought that washington's actions in ukraine of the country's best interests at heart. despite their lectures and their
9:15 am
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. was not the 1st time till c, gilbert has been critical of president biden's policies. she also pinned europe's energy crisis on the u. asked leader suggesting that similar repercussions could be on the cards for americans. while we discussed miss gilbert stance with earl rasmussen, of the eurasia center, think tank, 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
9:16 am
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, colonel mcgregor grand greenwald, the whole list of them. unfortunately, the 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 nbc or c, and then it's like somebody wrote a script from and they're leaving. you don't even have basically the saying the same thing over and over again. i felt gabbert right on the money and has hit completely correct in her statement. okay, something else to tell you by today the u. s. secretary of state sounds given assurances that washington is not competing with anyone in the sub saharan region.
9:17 am
his words came while on a tour to south africa. the democratic republic of congo unreal wander earlier in the week on the visit comes out on the heels of russia's foreign minister, receiving pretty warm welcome. in several countries on the concept, we seen the repercussions of russia's warn 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 for coinciding with the visit, the white house released the document detailing its new strategy towards subsaharan regions. the plan promotes us involvement in the policies of african nations, including issues such as pandemic, climate change on food security, or mr. blink unsafe history is not an attempt to come to russia and china's growing
9:18 am
ties with the continent. the report suggests otherwise the people's republic of china by contrast, need 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. ames, who continue even grow its presence in the region, china nice down to south africa, the biggest trading partner. moscow was trade with the country is on the rise to with monthly export from russia up within 4 times over the past year. all of that, as the us secretary of state tries to convince south africa to separate times with russia and china. so don't forget top that will not say blame for problems on the continent rest with those who are capitalizing on the regions. resources. this
9:19 am
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 for 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. interesting remarks on that. well, in it's new strategy, washington also sites quote, a long and proud history of supporting africa. we discuss that strategy with the host of the conservative daily podcast. jewels. i don't think the u. s. is ever, is backed into sovereignty of other nations. and when they talk about the civilization,
9:20 am
they can look no further than themselves. and the sad part about what the us says and it's just a bunch of rhetoric and look, i'm an american and i'm proud to be an american, but the apparatus within the u. s. government has long been the stabilizing force and almost putting out, you know, african 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 the resources or no, i don't believe they respect us already. of any decisions that they make. and i and i, i'm actually fearful that it's going to become a tug of war and the people of those african agent, 54 nations, are the ones that are going to suffer. and the african nation specially 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 a grand standing and making empty promises that they will, mirrored in the future. not be able to deliver on a 3 day conflict between israel and the palestine islamic jihad group has come to an end. the violence to the lives
9:21 am
of 44 gallons a residence, including 15 children. the un high commissioner for a human rights voiced alarm over the number of youth killed during the military operation and demanded those responsible be held to account. here's how they gathered skyline look shortly. before truth was implemented, the this is the aftermath of and is really or a strike on the residential neighborhood. hundreds of buildings were damaged or destroyed in garza during the attacks. if you will say that we're leading commanders were stationed, angry local is told us what they saw the sabbath without any warning, they targeted the area near the kuwaiti hospital. or, of course, it is a camp,
9:22 am
crowded with children, women, and the elderly section. they targeted houses with 6 missiles, 6 houses were completely destroyed. block for the attack was very terrifying. we ran away in panic and fear among the children and women. good in the company. that was 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 more valuable than my house. chavez into the southern israel came under rocket fire as well with many people force the hides and vall, michelle just tell the nashville on jerusalem. the palestine islamic jihad group reportedly fired more than 1000 rockets. we got reaction from the streets of israel to the violence and the current was the fire is just a big bluff considering all that happens here was the rocky color. if we didn't have the defense sister, thank god for the day we would have been
9:23 am
a 2nd train. i really hope the fire will last long and that we are at least able to live a bit quietly. come 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 was a musician, a pro palestinian activist as well, has criticize social media platforms for bombing his post morning, a child killed in israel's recent attacks on garza at the british, robert known as low key say's his post about a 5 rules palestinian girl who was killed in a recent tonic on the gaza strip was from the violent spy, facebook, and it's room located claims. the content was centered after an alert from the israeli cyber units. what we do know is that the girl was playing i've side when she was hit by shrapnel, with also injured her 7 year old brother. she became the 1st victim of fisher's latest bombing campaign on gas.
9:24 am
well, facebook has previously beamed artificial intelligence for mistakingly bombing similar content, palestinian activist cleanup. since the start of 2022. the number of content picked on requests have been the by israel has increased by 800 percent. israel for it's part house, commended it's cyber units in the past. as being successful in getting online content removed. social media advocates of monarch should tire claims. the forces of palestinians are being silenced. syncing policy invoices, anti lancing, palestinian voice is banning us answering our content is affecting how we can share . our story is how we can document 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 as to typing us. this has a bigger impact whenever,
9:25 am
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 palestinians who were coded during those attacks, it's also said 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 a 4 year old child born biologically female has a non she is actually a boy by firing blue colored smoke confetti. in the celebration, video footage show the child's announcement in front of a cheering crowd at the pride parade. and vancouver, where the girl stood with her grandmother, her parents said that the child should masculine patterns from the age of 2, and it was her own decision to make the announcement. we discussed the issue with
9:26 am
author and funder of sex change regret, wall tire, on canadian activist. first chris l. 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. 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 tech 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 leads to is the medical ation of children. and they are getting experimental puberty walkers, the detective hormones,
9:27 am
and even surgery, this children's cutting off the breast, the girl, the young, a 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 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 a se colleges,
9:28 am
and should not be the people in charge of their young children. okay, before we go to break, let's recap, our breaking news story. this one person has been killed and 51 now injured a revised figure after an explosion in the center of the armenian capital european . ah, a market was rocked by repeated bluffs reported the leaving many still tromped under the rubble emergency services managed to rescue 2 women from the ruins of a building. a middle aged man from phoebe only fatality for not while a 5 year old girl. we know is in intensive care, her condition is cities. i witnessed the same one building collapse when the legs grew. arts at local news reports, as you say, a fire workshop at court fire triggering the explosions with
9:29 am
pyrotechnics continuing to detonate off the market. no, so my witness is also claiming nearby gas pipe excluded shortly after the floss begun with the fire spreading to neighboring buildings. we need to make clear though there is no official confirmation of what caused the blas as with the police, still burning investigators haven't been allowed access to the scene. those yet officials have tried to evacuate theory, but many people are said to be remaining in place. as you can see here, maybe to help the emergency services dig through the rubble and help with any and all significant development. all not, we will bring it to you and, and that was, are a review of the week that was for more and some days. main developments do. check out ortiz twitter page will make sure you don't miss the moments that mater bye for now. ah
