[000:00:00;00] ah ah, i was told that the lines on, on the international, russian lead forces advance on t strongholds of ukrainian troops and don bass and all crew visits russian positions. and instead of where they are fighting ukraine's neo nazi kracken battalion, india and pakistan and celebrate independence day. 75 years off, the british colonial rule came to annette. winter rationing and looming gas shortages could seriously impact with german economy. that's according to the

countries energy regulator chief and hero nazi we bring the special coverage of the chaotic us withdrawal from afghanistan, exactly one year after the taliban took control of cobbled. take a look back to the events one year with all right. life moscow. it just off to 4 am on monday, it's auntie international from the entire news team here. it's good to have you with us. we do start the program with a conflict in ukraine where russian led forces advance and bon bass reaching key strongholds of ukrainian troops in that region. i recently, the town of pesky, which ukrainian fight is used to a type don't ask a residential areas fell under the control of don. yes. republic forces. a russian lead forces have also taken a strategic point on the outskirts of cetera. and all the crew visited the captured positions near their with finance republic forces face quote, the name of crockett. this is

a ukrainian neo nazi battalion cameras are a rare auditor here. commanding offices are dazzled by our unannounced visit, but seized the chance to parade the evolution of their advance. this may be about 1500 meters towards the ukrainian positions. from where we are right now, i'm talking about the town of save ask. this is the main hot sport on this direction. basically the russian forces and the forces of the lucas people's republic. they are advancing on a very wide section of the front. so this is the northernmost wind of this advance. and basically what they're trying to do is they're trying to, well, in circle severson on this ration from the north,

ukraine's nationalist battalions like kracken for instance. they're ukranian nazis very much like to that of as of, they are the ones who are holding off. they're the ones who are basically defending their the frontline defenses of the town of servers. the kracken proudly brands itself as an elite unit, but outside their promo videos. the battalion's reputation is overshadowed by atrocities and lawlessness. its members and global notoriety when they were caught on video torturing russian prisoners of war. also in part, the unit has been formed of current convicts who were moved from theirselves to the frontline via president zalinski zada. and this video, a russian drone tracks, one of the kracken fighters to his company's trenches. from that point, the artillery takes over rounds from artillery doors. we're back and forth routinely here to ukrainian tanks,

flee from the shelling as 2 bright orange spots to the right suggest to moore didn't make it. no one wanted to fight. people submitted ports to refuse service, but they just burned them. we had poor training, we are only taught to move by 2 or 3 people, assemble and disassemble our guns and shoot. but we're not talked to advance at all . we're absolutely not ready for this. when we were shelled, we were told to retreat. something exploded behind me and wounded me. they left me under a tree and abandoned me. i waited until morning than realised that they would not come and get me. so i began to crawl through the forest. i crawled for 2 days until the russian soldiers found me as we explore the captured town. 2 soldiers accompanying us notice a suspicious item, and in their words, it's better safe than sorry. we'll leave as command as our dishing out new orders. the offensive goes on august,

dawn of reporting from the don bass r t. exactly 75 years ago, 2 centuries of british colonial rule over india came to an end, ultimately giving birth to 2 independent states. and one of them is pakistan. a tens of thousands of people gathered at a rally organized by the former prime ministers, political party, celebrating the countries independence day. protest as was in brandishing flags by those slamming the current government and condemning interference by quote foreign powers. fuller, pakistani prime minister m ron con. has vow to fight for quote, real freedom and pledge to hold more antique government protests all across the nation. ah, fight for real freedom will continue until we get rid of this imported government and elections are held. we will struggle together. i'm against this slavery. let me

make it clear. i won't let this nation based slave. i will unite this nation. we as a nation will pay off our debt by working together this, i guess brenda day, do you believe we talked to wendy before? i believe they were doing bye bye. good morning or because we have our daughter barbara, yvonne con this is august. i think this really because the morning actually because i need diesel access to our data. brendan, i know it is a hockey,

hockey at cooper and i gather the martin league not accepting this because the game is norman by the courtesy by the american army and reminding our president tonight is given for holly. i am here to tell that i am not a slave. i am a free man. i came here with my children. i'm fighting for their future. only way out is to trust the leadership of m. ron con, it looks like there is no other leader to safeguard the interest of the people only in ron con can lead us to success. it was 75 years ago that a line of separation known as the pod. titian split india and pakistan on the drawn

border tor, many families apart, ultimately changing lives forever. and when john shaw my visited villages just a few miles from the india pakistan border and has more details amidst the triumphal skin, dell's independence in the summer of 1947. a line of separation was drawn by british barrister. it was called the partition august of 1947 ratcliffe to align bordering india and pakistan. that line also divided this way, part have been job tearing apart, will edges, families and communities now in those, and seeks on one side and the muslims on the other. 75 years on we meet doors was life was changed forever by hastily drawn borders. this is the north and in state of punjab. the historic homeland of the sikhs we visited quad the a will edge in the good dos for district barely

a few miles from the india pakistan border 104 year old miller rom is one of the few living partitions of i was in the village there her little brother here, government, we left our entire life across the border. our old life no longer existed than what we had to start afresh. no memories of days gone by. come back to me and that garden in spring. whatever goldlick sheets are chatter, he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one night even to day. he rides the canes in order and keeps them close to his heart. in another which we meet, could pulsing, his grandchildren and great grandchildren have all moved to big cities. he's decided to steal his 1st home. his ancestral village is only a few miles from your just across the border in pakistan. 3 years ago, he got his long awaited result with getting his childhood home in pakistan. was a dream come true. ah, brenda, i went to my village, my home,

i cried. alarm. those who live in the house that was once mine were happy to see me . they wanted to give me a gift of it, but i said i won't take but give a gift. i gave money and a blessing to the children living in the house. a few will just father also by the border stands. the rules are shoddy style golf. the secret islamic shine fell on the indian side when the partition line was drawn as many feet shines ended up on the block a sunny side. he or the entire willing, around 80 families that came from c, all caught in pakistan have maintained this structure for 75 years like their own. and you have the whole village takes care of the dogger. we come here every day, clean it lights out, the lamp gray here across the river ravi the sun is setting in pakistan. it's hard to imagine that this line, this border didn't even exist 75 years ago, bought the borders of reality. and despite living to the pain of partition many,

so i was of chosen to remember the love with the pain orange and sharma, arte but job. so germany must cut its gas use by a 5th. so potentially phase crippling shortages and serious consequences for the economy . this is according to the chief of germany's energy regulator. if we fail to reach our target of 20 percent gas savings, then there's a serious risk that we will not have enough gas. you need to try to figure out what effect cutting off the gas to certain companies will have on the supply chain for critical products. what the consequences will be for jobs for production, for value chains. some production could move away from germany because gases become too expensive, and that's a difficult thing to happen. and while natural gas prices were rising, since the start of the year, a sanctions on russia that followed the start of the conflict in ukraine just saw e. you prices triple lot is contributor rachel marston has more now and how europe

is trying to cope with the issue after spain and italy ordered limits on air conditioning and heating in public and commercial buildings. recently, in an attempt to control energy use ahead of the winter gas crunch caused by the european union sanctioning its own russian gas supply. well, now it's germany's term to micromanage the daily lives of its citizens. with the new crackdown economy minister, robert havoc has announced a heating limit of 19 degrees celsius for public buildings. for the next 6 months. guess his previous strategy of bragging that he was taking ever shorter showers and that german ship to wasn't going to save the german economy and industry from a potentially catastrophic energy shortage. he also told the german press that night time lighting of monuments and advertising displays would be banned across the country. so better bringing flashlights to berlin. meanwhile, germans are panic. buying electric heaters at

a rate of 35 percent higher sales than last year, causing officials to fear the impact on the national grid. if the gas shortage causes a switch to electricity, switzerland, which isn't a member of the e u, but faces the same problems having to come to the use pressure to adopt similar sanctions against russia, is already preparing citizens for and nightmarish scenario. the federal electricity commission chairman's says that a strategy of rolling blackouts in the winter time would be manageable and is currently on the table. it is certainly advisable to have enough candles in the house. and if you have a wood stove, you should stock enough firewood, sticking it to russian. president vladimir putin apparently now means europeans living like they're back in the stone age until now switzerland strategy. admittedly, including considering germany and italy,

suppliers of energy to countries currently. so concerned about shortages of their own, they're now dictating the temperature of rooms nationwide, right down to the precise degrees centigrade. meanwhile, citizens of finland are trying to beat the price heights by refueling their cars in neighboring russia, where fuel is much cheaper and are having to deal with being called traders as a result. one such gas trader, sir, for laura mo, parents felt obligated to point out that the money she saves isn't for vladimir putin. meanwhile, finland joined estonia and calling for a visa ban on russians visiting the european union with estonia. already having made a unilateral move to stop issuing visas to russian tourists, you officials responded with deafening silence to the blanket discrimination and dangerous precedent. it's unclear how far officials of european nations are willing

to go in their anti russian virtue signalling. but what's already plainly evident is that they're willing to make their own citizens pay the price. california, the world's leading producer of tomato processing phases, as was drought, if you can believe it in 1200 years soaring costs currently for labor, fuel and fertilizer. this causing fears among producers and consumers of a shortage of process tomatoes across the world. but california reached its peak and some auto output in 2015. it's been falling ever since. by 2018, the record had fallen drastically. according to the u. s. department of agricultural data 2022 is shaping up to continue the trend. as the industry estimates that she has harvest will fall below 11700000 tons in tomorrow, packing and co which supply some of the larger us food brands is selling tomato paste. that price is 80 percent higher than a year ago. although tomato,

tomato based products been hard to replace them on, it's not very sensitive to the price changes, but consumers still buy the costs with the price of tomato sauce in july rising significantly compared to last year with ketchup. also seeing a big jump, solar car, according to the market research for the i r a, we got reaction to the tomato crisis on the streets of the us have a listen. i don't find it for me to make a visit with you for that. and i don't find it, there's probably more but more of an effect on the fast food industry than and then the household unless there's of the household with children, you know, as part of their as part of their, their daily or weekly routine. every press paper, a restore are going to ask me, i'm turning in everything twice as high as it was

in the shelves are fully stocked either, so please come down so we can not just the innovative benefit for us in our family, actually more on price on food and not just bad again. well, the group kill net which has claim responsibility, but numerous cyber attacks on ukraine on western countries has conducted a new one. this time, the group set at site on lockheed martin and claims to be in possession of valuable secret information of one of the biggest weapons and aircraft manufacturers in the world. they published our personal information of company employees and conducted a denial of service attack on the aerospace giant now lockheed martin makes weapons like the javelin mis launches. and hi, my rocket systems, which of course have been supplied to ukraine as military aid. so we spoke to the

group about the latest cyber hack the most important theme that regard as a proof of corporation with the nasa space corporation, lockheed martin has been working closely with the nasa satellite system for more than 10 years. we received more than 9 gigabytes of various information all day to currently being filtered and evaluated. if you're wondering where the valuable documents will go, i can safely assure you they will leave as a gift to our special services. lockheed martin denies the attack, took place and says that confident in the security of the defense is a kill met, says they will continue that campaign against the company and claim they have evidence of successfully breaching the security protocols. doing so can you go to roughly speaking, we just took the data from lockheed martin employees who an answer in the user

authentication system. the fact that we lead to more than 500 employees seem to channel is just a piece of evidence to prove our hacking specialists in quotes from lockheed trying to prove to everyone that there was no had cameras. okay, but what will they tell their employees when all their data is being sold on the doc. net for $5.00 per user. log in the last 34 hours, so ready? $525.00, down here at moscow. another american delegation has arrived in tie one for a 2 day visit. this, despite of course, existing tension surrounding the island, ultimately fueled by us. how speak, nancy pelosi is recent visit to the chinese territory. now the delegation is led by us sen. marty was accompanied by 4 other lawmakers from the states. the group will meet with local politicians and discuss regional security bilateral ties and trade . anti wants ministry of defense reported several chinese military aircraft and

naval ships near the island just hours before the american groups arrival. of course i listened 2 weeks ago, polosa visit to the territory store and outrage. china respond with full scale live fire. military exercise is all around the island with asian affairs analyst nelson wong fears that tie one's p r stands with washington, could end up hurting in the long run. this is quite apparent that the u. s. is trying to poke china to keep poking china, keep irritating china to basically to create attention to, to increase the patient across the taiwan strait. this is a serious move of the us that i think the international community should be fully aware of it. because this is not helpful to read, you know, security in the asia pacific, this is detrimental. they are playing with fire and this is not good. and i think

countries around the world and being this really you should try that best to contain what the us is trying to do. the leadership in taiwan might be welcoming such trips. i think the people in taiwan, fully aware of what's going all, and they want to live a peaceful life. and if the leadership in collaboration was outside forces to try to stir up the fire. this is a very dangerous move and it's not good at all. and i think the people in taiwan should be a get us well, today we do start our special coverage of the anniversary of the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan, which took place a year ago. let's take

a look back quickly at how it all began. i do not regret my decision to end america war fighting against it and maintain a laser focused on our counterterrorism mission there and other parts of the world

.

ah. it was exactly one year ago, the taliban entered cobble and declared full control over the country, following a hasty pull out of nato forces. arthur rachel blevins now has more. and how washington's back on the afghan government failed in just 10 days. one year after the botched chaotic and deadly end of the u. s. war and afghanistan, there are still countless questions about how and why the world leading intelligence agency got it so wrong. when the time came to leave the country, the u. s. had been occupying for 20 years after all, even president biden express. nothing but confidence before he made the official call. is a tale bomb take over against that now, inevitable? no, it is none. because you have the african troops of $300000.00 well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against

something like $75000.00 bond. it is not inevitable weeks later, it was a very different story when the us withdrew from the country, the government, they had spent 2 decades building and supporting fell apart. and it took the taliban just 10 days to gain control of the country's capital. notably faster than took the u. s. to do so when an invaded back in 2001. ah ah. so what happened is a claim from us intelligence that the afghan government would be able to survive for at least 6 months if not longer. and that the fall would likely be gradual with the taliban getting more power over time. how was it possible that multiple reports from, for intelligence agencies in the u. s. managed to get this situation so wrong,

that even the same mainstream outlet who had spent 20 years justifying the u. s. military's presence in the country were forced to admit what a disaster it was. with some even calling it an intelligence failure of the highest order us intelligence officials are pushing back on the chars that they were caught off guard by the rapid collab. so afghans government, for 20 years, we know the taliban, we have people on the ground. and yet you, the u. s. was caught unaware, and completely off guard to the commander of us forces in afghanistan. alerted the pentagon. cobble could be surrounded within 30 day, an alarming prediction that turned out to be way off. what he's talking about here is a failure of intelligence. so we saw across the world we saw in washington, knew the pentagon had no idea this was happening. but for people who signed up to serve their nation, they're now looking at their commander in chief as a national disgrace is a national nightmare. however, what the us learn the hard way was that just because it spent nearly

$90000000000.00 training, the afghan defense and security forces did not mean that their army of around $300000.00 would be able to take on the taliban without the u. s. military there to support them. and yes, that's despite the claims made by the biden administration, that they just needed to strengthen their unity and political will in order to succeed. ultimately, the african national security defense versus had the equipment numbers and training to fight back. they have what they need, what they need to determine is if they have the political will to fight back. and if they have the ability to unite as a, as leaders to fight back. and that's really where it stands at this point. as it turned out, the 20 year long reliance on the u. s. military proved to be much more than the white house expected. and after they were abandoned by their allies, the will of the afghan forces to attempt to fight back against the taliban fell apart in record time when the us announced a total withdrawal that sent a signal to afghan soldiers and police that the end was near. and converted

chronically poor motivation into acute collapse as nobody wanted to be. the last man standing after the others gave up. there was they all or nothing strategy employed by the us in which it opted for a quick pull up from the country rather than withdrawing gradually and leaving a few and troops on the ground to help with the transition. after all was said and done bite and denied that was ever an option. the pentagon had been considering your tar military advisors war against withdrawn on this timeline. they wanted to keep about 2500 to no, they didn't. it was split though that wasn't true. and it wasn't just the u. s. the u. k. foreign office admitted last month and it made a number of mistakes in its own exit from the country. and quoted on that list was the fact that the u. k. foreign secretary of the time was on holiday and didn't take the afghan foreign ministers call when he reached out for help with with the benefit of hindsight, of course it's easy to say but, and i wouldn't have gone on holiday, let alone. and we've come home on the government,

the u. s. had been propping up for nearly 2 decades, was also supported by an embassy that housed around $4000.00 and diplomats contractors and staff who provided a false sense of confidence even though they were relying on the intent security provided by the u. s. military. but then again, they didn't invade afghanistan looking to learn about the country. instead, the mission they claim to half was to force american values on the people. and after 20 years, it has become clear that they still haven't learned about the country they occupied for so long. it also appeared as though every assurance biden gave about the us accept plan was eventually proven wrong. there's gonna be no circumstance for you to see people be lifted off the roof of a embassy in the of the united states from afghanistan. it is not at all comfortable. and yet, it was the scenes of helicopters rescuing embassy staff in afghanistan that became

a direct comparison to the fall of saigon in 1975. that's only fitting, given the fact that the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan has been called the worst intelligence failure since the non proving that after a 20 year war, thousands of lives lost countless communities destroyed. and more than 2 trillion dollars spent, the u. s. still hasn't learned from its own actions. but as far as turning into a very busy monday morning, here at moscow at archie, international hotspots for now when another program is set to go with the latest worldwide headlines we are back at the top of the ah ah, with
