the only one who displays great ah, a a, this may be about 1500 meters towards the ukranian positions. from where we are right now. i'm talking about the town of service. this is the main whole sport. on this direction. a crew visit. the front line in dawn by russian life force is a fighting ukraine's fall right. kruchinin battalion with report blaming the white house on u. s. intelligence services about watching the afghanistan evacuation is leak to the media on the one year anniversary of cobbled full to the taliban. india and pakistan celebrating independence day 75 years off. the british colonial rule came

to an august of 1947 radcliffe to align, bothering him down and talk to sand. medina also divided this that i thought of been job during a boss will adjust families and communities with dissecting the mainstream narrative asi international. that's where we question more. welcome to your news on this monday. now to some frontline news for you to kick off the program here on our t. it's where russian led forces to advance and don bass reaching key strong holds of ukrainian troops in the region. recently, the town of pesky where ukrainian a fight has that's where they use their position to a taca residential buildings in don. yet it did finally fall under the control of that done yet. script public soldiers, a russian lead forces have also taken a strategic point on the outskirts upset artist. and one of our t cruz visited the captured positions near that went on yet republic forces face

kracken and cracking is a ukrainian neo nazi battalion cameras, iraq, or did see here. commanding offices are dazzled by on announced visit, but sees 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 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 reports 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. we're not taught to advance at all. we're absolutely not ready for the. when we were shelled, we were told to retreat to something exported behind me and wounded me. they left me under a tree and abandoned me. i waited until morning then realized that they would not come and get me. so i began to crawl through the forest across for 2 days until the russian soldiers found me as we exclude the captured town, have 2 soldiers accompanying us. notice a suspicious item, and in their words, it's better safe than, sorry, we'll leave as command as dishing out new orders. the offensive goes on. i mean

there's done a reporting from the don bass r t. the brother of a u. s. service man killed during the guy withdraw has taken his own life during a memorial service. back in 2021. during the chaotic us withdrawal from honest on 28 year old dakota husbands, brother was among 13 american servicemen who died in a suicide bomber attacking the campbell airport. republican congressman mike waltz has demanded the accountability for the loss of life during the pullout. u. s. foreign affairs committee republicans are reportedly deeply critical of washington's plans on execution of the africa withdrawal in their leaked report. as we understand, there are potentially tens of thousands of africans still allegedly stuck in the country waiting for special immigrant phases. they were allegedly early, $36.00 state department officials on the ground at cobble airport a year ago. they were there to help those on the list to get out. and us

congressman michael mccaul, criticized the disconnect between us intelligence and the white house. there are many since if you will though, there was a complete lack of failure to plan. there was no plan and it was there was no plan execute. there's a disconnect between, you know, it tells it's on the ground and what the white house is doing. in this report, the says it all, i, there is no way we're gonna evacuate embassy personnel from hell covers like we did in vietnam. you know, of course we know that happened. well, today we start our special coverage marking one years since the taliban took control of cobble and the country after us force is retreated to the airport as part of a water hasty pull out. i

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

rachel blevins. thou has more and how washington's bet on the former afghan government failed in just 10 days. one year after the botched chaotic and deadly end of the u. s. warren 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. 7 bomb take over against that now, inevitable. no, it is none. because you have the afghan troops of 300000. well equipped as well as script is any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 colored mine. it is not enough 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 it took the u. s. to do so when an invaded back in 2001, ah,

ah, how is 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 outlets who had spent 20 years justifying the u. s. military's presence in the country were forced to admit what a disaster it was. us intelligence officials are pushing back on the chart 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. so we saw across the world we saw in washington, knew the pentagon had no idea this was happening. however, what the us learn the hard way was i 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 drank then 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 u. s. 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. there's nobody wanted to be the last man standing after the others gave up. there was the all or nothing strategy employed by the us in 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 your top military advisors war against, withdrawn on this timeline. they wanted you to keep about 2500 turn. 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 of the time was on holiday and didn't

take the afghan foreign ministers call when he reached out for help 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 janice and looking to learn. 2 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, or you 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. we'll hear one out to you. we will continue to bring you all special coverage on afghanistan and basically that will continue over the next couple of weeks smoking one year. do stay tuned for more details on that story. ah ah, it is good to have you with us today. a california the world's leading processor of

tomatoes phases and historic drought combined with soaring costs for labor, fuel and fertilizer. in scope producers worried about a shortage of product across the world. ingram, r packing and co which supply some of the largest us food brands is selling tomato paste. that price is 80 percent higher than last year. of course consumers are the ones bearing the costs with the price of tomato sauce in july, way up compared to last year with catch up also seeing a big price jump as well. a california peaked in tomato output in 2015. it's been getting worse ever since. according to the u. s. department of agriculture 2022 is shaping up to continue. the trend is the industry says this year harvest will fall below $11000000.00 tons. so we got the streets, went to the streets of america to get reaction on this looming crisis. a

sorry for that, and i don't find it. it's probably more but more of an effect on the fast food industry than and then household with household, with children. as part of their as part of their daily or weekly routine. every press paper a restore are going to assume turning in everything twice as high as it was and all the jobs are fully stocked. so please come down. so we cannot just be in a better benefit for us and our family have to wait more on prices on food, and i just that, but guess, well, a global shortage of tomatoes is also expected due to high temperatures and key regions in the coming years with the u. s. italy and china set to see supply

decline even further. that's according to the nature food journal. oh, so germany must cut its use of natural gas by a 5th or potentially phase crippling shortages and serious consequences for the economy. 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 is 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 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 have been rising since the start of the year, sanctions on russia that follow the start of the conflict in ukraine. so e u price is triple is our contributor rachel marston. and how are europe is 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 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 a 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 trust 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 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 us 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 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 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, apparently 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. ah, exactly. 75 years ago, 2 centuries of british colonial rule in india came to an end, ultimately giving rise to 2 independent states. but of course, this came at a cost to both pakistan on india as a correspondent and john chava, now reports amidst the triumphal skin. dell's independence in the summer of 1947. a line of separation was drawn by british barstow. 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 miller rom is one of the few living partitions of i was in the village there here dealing with the government. we left our entire life across the border. our old life no longer existed than what we had to start afresh. memories of days gone by, come back to me and that garden in spring. it was all that shit, a chatter. he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one. even today, he rides the canes in order and keeps them close to his heart. in another village we meet, could pulsing his grandchildren and great grandchildren have all moved to big cities. he's decided to stay 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 it in 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 villages farther also by the border stands, the rules are shut. if thou gall, the sacred islamic shrine fell on the indian side. when the partition line was drawn, as many seeks shines, ended up on the pakistani side. he or the entire willing around 80 families that came from see, are caught in pakistan have maintained this structure for 75 years like their own. and, you know, the whole village takes care of the dogger. we come here every day, train it and lights up the lamp. cray 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, but the border is a reality. and despite living to the pain of partition many, so i was have chosen to remember the love or with the pain orange and sharma artie . but jop as india and pakistan both celebrate, perhaps the most significant moment in the country's history is a people have taken to the streets to mark the occasion. a parade are taking place on both sides of the border with people celebrating that national symbols and raising flags. both countries, i hope for this day will be a reminder, if foreign a rule should ever again infringe upon that sovereignty. malea hush may, a journalist and political analysts says passed on, gaining independence was very important for future generation significance by the time independence day is pretty explicit. every thing that has been off by on, i mean it's, are they say christian, independent forefathers made huge sacrifices before so that we,

the future generations would reason of be empowered and independent wait around the most popular leader in buckets on right now. and the majority chunk of the board is the you, the which one to 26265 percent of the total population of people faith in the wrong cons ability to lead by going over the past 4 months. how he worked for budgets on independence. what i want to see, because by time has never really had one. so for the 1st time in the history of the will both to have an independent foreign policy, the 5 time was going to going to be treated by the road wired, incorporating a never ended approach in just complete 7. she's 5 years offered independence and

it's a, it is a historical page and there it is. and 2000, there is, you know, you get a joy in the last from me to come next monday. and right now i am in the capital city dot com, and i can see people over joyce, there is be expectation that india has gone very far from 1947 when we got independence from the british. and we have achieved so much accomplishment and progress in the last 75 years. that debt is no way anybody can stop india from here on. there is clearly an excitement that india is going to make progress in science and technology in as it is in our democracy, is a big asset for india. and india is timing and also does especially women empowerment. i think the prime minister in his speech today emphasized that india has to be independent. india has to be independent, not only economically,

militarily, but socially as well. so that message has gone down, ready? well, across the country, we are going to see in the next few days that this celebration will continue with not your regard and energy or moscow. i was also joined in mocking the historic day by hosting a 4 day celebration festival. and that's from where our correspondent on your federal gave us this report. russia is celebrating 75 years of diplomatic relations with india, with the bank a wonderfully hot day. what a better way to celebrate all things india in moscow? i shouldn't think of india, they think about flavor. i says color. all of it is available here.

a very fair. there's a lot here time on the like. i feel like especially with a show show with real indian food, not one the think it was like i with people, you know, what do you go to this did don't do much of that to open with

all the self realization martin. they really make you realize yourself and your body. yes, and i feel like a lot of russians have been going towards that section and we need a lot of people feel that. if you go around, you will actually be like, right. this is how i can call myself the world's very stressful. we've been to 2 years have been demick, a lot of stress. and general how you think about for some time, we've been breed out an administrative health a . you know what, i feel like such a star event right now. i'm not sure i know what i look like so i still haven't seen myself in the mirror. i can see people taking a phase of me and tell me which is actually a really nice thing. i know what so that's feel like now all good people with

it and it's around. i think it's safe to say that indeed they in most cases, absolutely transformative experience to me to the super positive. i absolutely loved it. i want to thank india i want to thank monica, i'm the organizes for making this real and i'm just hoping that next year it will be happy. that's a, that's wrapping up like this. i would use coffee or an r t international. thanks for sharing some of your monday with us here at our tea. moscow. your news with the top of a to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy.
