ah, and with this may be about 1500 meters towards the ukrainian positions from where we are right now. i'm talking about the town of save us. this is the main whole sport on this direction. our crew visits the frontline in bond bats where russian lead forces are fighting ukraine's fall right. correct. and battalion with india and pakistan and celebrated independence day 75 years off. that british colonial rule came to an august of 1947 last claim to align. bothering him down and focused on line all 4 divided. by the way, bob have been job during about villages,

families and communities, and winter rationing due to looming, natural gas shortage years could seriously damage the german economy. that's according to the country's chief energy regulator. adults he brings special coverage of the chaotic us to withdraw from afghanistan and exactly one year off. and the taliban took control of cost with regard to 5 pm on monday, here at moscow, and a very will welcome to you at saucy international. let's go to some frontline news for you right now. it's where a russian lead force is at the bonds and on bass reaching t strongholds of ukrainian troops in the region. recently, the town of pesky, which ukrainian fighters used to attack don't ask residential areas, fell under the control of the don't ask republics, soldiers. russian lead forces have also taken a strategic point on the outskirts of sep, ask,

and one r t. crew visited the captured positions near there. why don't you ask republic forces face kracken cracking. the ukrainian neo nazi battalion cameras are a rare auditor here. commanding officers 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 guns 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 direction 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 the cross at ease 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 convict, who will move from the ourselves to the frontline, via president zalinski soda. and this video, a russian grown tracks, one of the kracken fighters to his companies trenches. from that point, the artillery takes over rounds from artillery. doors were 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 when we're not talk 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 exclude the captured town. 2 soldiers accompanying us notice a suspicious item, and in their words, it's better safe than sorry. it

will leave as command as our dishing out new orders. the offensive goes on, i'm august done of reporting from the don bass r t. so exactly 75 years ago, 2 centuries of british colonial rule over india came to an end, ultimately giving birth to 2 independent states. one of them, of course, 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. protesters were siena, brandishing flags and banners slamming the current government. and condemning interference by quote foreign powers. the form of pakistani prime minister iran con as val to fight for quote, real freedom and pledge to hold even more anti 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 to get them. i am 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 are, does 570 the day we talked i believe never mind. i get it off. we go drive our daughter on for a new one extra barbara. this is august. i think this rarely because the morning actually because i need access to our data. now this is a hockey, hockey,

and i gather the martin league not accepting this because the game. here we go courtesy by the american army and it really is reminding our president tonight for holly i am here to tell that i am not asleep. 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 iran 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. so it was 75 years ago that a line of separation known as the titian split india,

pakistan of the drawing board, a tall, many families apart, ultimately changing lives forever. and vern jones shot him now visited some villages just a few miles from the india pakistan border. i looked back at a troubled past 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 hindu than seeks on one side and the muslims on the other. 75 years own we meet doors whose life was changed forever by hastily drawn borders. this is the north and in state of punjab. the historic homeland of de seeks. we visited cordial village in the good asp or district, barely

a few miles from the india pakistan border 104 year old. mila rom is one of the few living partition survivors in the which, if you're dealing with the here government, we left our entire life across the border. and 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 the spring when it was all that shit, a chatter. he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one. not even today. he writes, he came in order and keeps them close to his hot did, and in another which we meet. could bol seeing, his grandchildren and great grandchildren have all moved to big cities. he's decided to state 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 love, 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 villages father, also by the border sans the rules are shut, he forgot the sacred 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 all the entire will, each around 80 families that came from ceo's court in pakistan have maintained this structure for 75 years like their own. and you have the whole village. jake's hair of the dogger. we come here every day. clean it lights out. the lamp right here, across the river robbie, 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 have chosen to remember the love with the pain orange and sharma, arti, but job germany must cut its use of natural gas by a 5th or potentially face crippling shortages and serious consequences for the economy. and that's 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 a fair cutting off the gas to certain companies will have in 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 have been rising since the start of the year, sanctions on russia that followed the start of the conflict in ukraine. so

e u price is triple. and artie contributor rachel martin has more on how europe is really trying to cope with the energy 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 cranks 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 should 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 bring your 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 you, 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 us strategy of rolling blackouts in the wintertime 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 their back in the stone age until now switzerland strategy, admittedly included, considering germany and italy,

suppliers of energy to country is currently so concerned about shortages of their own that are 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 freighters as a result. one such gas trader, sir, for laura mo, currently felt obligated to point out that the money she saves is it 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 signaling. but what's already plainly evident is that they're willing to make their own citizens pay the price. ah, california, the world's leading processor of tomatoes faces an historic drought combined with storing costs for labor, fuel and fertilizer had certainly got produced was worried about a shortage of product across the world. a ingram r packing and company which supply some of the largest us food brands is selling tomato paste at price is 80 percent higher than a year ago. of course, consumers are the ones bearing the costs, the price of tomato sauce in july, way up compared to last year, and with ketchup. also seeing a big price jump as well. a california peaked and tomato output in 2015. it's been falling ever since. according to the u. s. department of agriculture 2022 is shaping up and can to to continue. the trend is the industry says this is harvest

will fall below 11000000 tons. well, we got reaction to the shortage on the streets of america. a sorry for that, and i don't find that this is probably more but more of an effect on the fast food industry than and then the household with household, with children, you know, as part of their as part of their daily or weekly routine. every press paper, a restore, i'll go into sb i'm turning in, everything's on that twice as high as it was in the shelves are fully stocked either, so please come down. so we cannot just innovative benefit for us

in our family, and i have to leave more on price on food. and i just that guess. well, well, a global shortage of tomatoes is also expected due to high temperatures in key regions over the next few decades. of the u. s. italy and china are expecting to see a decline in supplies, and that's according to the nature food journal. oh, well than 750000 people have been displaced this year in somalia, following a severe drought. this brings a total number of refugees from the country to over 1000000 people that's according to the u. n. refugee agency. now in almost a droughts have been hitting somalia for the 2nd time now in just 2 years, which is unprecedented the last 4 decades. migration is not the only consequence of the disaster is more and more families struggle from hunger caused by the drought. and we spoke to residents of mogadishu about how they'd been affected their

luncheon. i fled from the village because there is no water and no food. there are health problems there as well. some of us came here by foot and we left some of our children and old parents behind. wow, luckily, i fled from muffle village into town where he district because of hunger. it took me for days and nights to come here by foot, and we faced huge problems. misery and affliction sat on lack of water, forced to flee from our village. lawful drought affected us severely. we are at adela idp center, some 1114 families live here in this camp. the displaced people who were affected by the harsh drought are here, and we expect an additional influx of drought affected people to arrive in the coming days. another american delegation has arrived in taiwan on an a u. s. air force jet for a 2 day visit to the island of this despite existing tensions field, of course by us house because nancy pelosi is recent visit to the chinese territory . now the delegation is led by us senator at marty was accompanied by 4 other

lawmakers. the group will meet with local politicians and discuss regional security bilateral relations, various trade issues. anti ones ministry of defense reported several chinese military aircraft and naval ships near the island just hours before the american groups arrival. in less than 2 weeks ago. of course apollo's, his visit to the territory or an outraged china respond with full scale life fire military exercises all around the island. will asia f as analyst on nelson. one fears a tie, one's p austin's 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 pace 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 in this region should try that best to contain what the us is trying to do. the leadership in taiwan might be a well coming such ships. 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 against the hacker group kill met,

which has claimed responsibility for numerous cyber attacks on ukraine and western countries has conducted a new raid this time, the groups that it's site on lockheed martin and claims to be in possession of valuable secret information of one of the world's biggest weapons and aircraft manufacturers. they published personal information of company employees and conducted a denial of service attack on the aerospace giant lockheed martin makes weapons such as the javelin missile launchers in the high mars rocket systems. of course, all of those are being supplied to ukraine as military aid. so we spoke to the group about the latest cyber hack. the most important thing that we got is proof of cooperation 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 data

is currently being filtered and evaluated. if you are wondering where the valuable documents will go, then i can safely tell you. they will leave is a gift to our special services. lockheed martin denies the attack, took place and the assessor. they are very confident in the security of that defenses. kill that says they will continue that campaign against the company and claim they have evidence so successfully breaching their security protocols. roughly speaking, we just took the day to have lockheed martin employees when entering the user authentication system. the fact that we lead to more than 500 employees into our 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 hacking ok. 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 already? well, it's good to have you with us for the program here on our t international law today. we do start how special coverage marking one years since

the u. s. withdrew from afghanistan, leaving the taliban to take control of koppel. i

do not regret my decision to end america. war fighting them cares it, and maintain a laser focused on our counterterrorism mission there. and other parts of the world

ah, will the former gun president should have gone in a recent interview? says the afghan people need to be empowered to charge their own way. that the country needs time to heal law teach. rachel blevins has more and how washington's back on the form of government failed in just 10 days. one year after the box, chaotic and deadly end of the u. s. war and afghanistan, there are still countless questions about how and why the world leaning 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 bob take over against that now, inevitable? no,

it is none. because you have the african troops of 300000. well equipped as well as script 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 u. s. 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 it took the us 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 collapse of afghanistan's government. for 20 years, we know the taliban, we have people on the ground, and yet 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 that 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 a 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 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 defends versus have 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 the all or nothing strategy employed by the u. s. and which it opted for a quick pull out from the country rather than withdrawing gradually and leaving a few 1000 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 leisure time realty advisors war against withdrawn on this timeline. they wanted to keep about 2500 to know they did. that 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 quit it on that list was the fact that the u. k. foreign secretary at 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 i wouldn't have gone on holiday, let alone. and we've come home on the government for you as had been propping up for nearly 2 decades, was also supported by an embassy that housed around 4000 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 going to be no circumstance. you see people be lifted off the roof of.
