yard weaponry, but from delirium small, the weapons to artillery and armoured vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. and you think they are appreciated amongst military professional for their quality reliability and high efficiency is practically already. all of them were used in actual military conditions for him allows the foreign military special. it's a good chance to put unity up to familiarize themselves with such things as use of the artificial intelligence of the modern digital and radio electronics technology . you need to know that you have mints of our design bureaus and research lamps. all most interest are the dish and that is that is models that will define the tomorrow. if you turn all the armed forces, i'm guessing about the use of roberts convert complexes based on the new physical

principles. the a lot of them or here is for even for decades are had of there are 4 fact militaristic, counterparts pretty well. and they are much better and divide their property where they're going to, you must period home training range will be due to the pantry. it is the reliable proof of that. i would like to add that on the, even if you got the, i don't know what he's at the booth that a dedicated to the diversification of the defense industry and rational enterprises are also presenting their innovative technologists in the civilian and military and technology. and they also deserve close attention to what we plan to develop and then your ration over active lead to create new time so that we may not be lever weaponry, but we want to work on equal terms and the experience. so such successful technological comp is the 1st of all within the c s t l and shanghai corporation organization got

so we are country, have a vast so that we see a lot of potential and training. got foreign, military personnel in raising various keels. thousands of military professionals from many countries of the world are proud that the nila trees schools and universities of our country has become their homeschoolers with them. and we are going to continue to develop the same for the same area as before, and we invite our allies and partners to participate in the joint exercises. such training which you are working on. complex military technical goals is important to improve military skills and military management to improve tactics and coherence between different military units on the different goes by developing a comprehensive military corporation joining our potentials. and now we're efforts, we can create reliable security of our countries and of the world,

and channel your friends. what would the grammar api here? the progress of the problem is becoming more and more diverse up in the soon 8 is failed by bo rendition and you, interesting events. yeah. but as before, it serves as the great platform to demonstrate this skill is the army games is going to be this plan for a later time. more than 6000 military personnel from 37 states will participate in the army game. just met you and you made me, you know, but i'm kind of large. i don't know if i should go, i'm going to only to coal importance as anti fascist for him. that is going to take place during this or in the tragedy that jeanette soon brought to mankind in the land. if century should not be forget and our duty to the millions of victims of world war 2 to react to any attempts to falsify. he's free to stand,

can spread up any forms of neo nazi, isn't risk of phobia and racism which in your country. in conclusion, i would like to think the one that had all the depends ministry of the russian federation and everyone who was involved in preparation of the for him, i'm can be nice, at least for him bullet further development of military and military technical corporation for the good of our countries and now with people it will consolidate and enhance international security and stability. i wish you every success in your world and the bitterness of these events to have a lot of bright memories of today. thank you for your attention to that. i would like to declare international military technical forum. army 2022 and international army games open. i said, thank you. yep. so army 2022 has officially begun the russian prison. they're doing the honors with the opening ceremony thing, his remark and just to let you know what is happening there. it is a showcase of the latest technology in the sector defense sector and

a chance to further develop cooperation with international partners of which there are quite a few there in the audience will have more not throughout the day. okay, 4 minutes past 3 pm here in moscow. let's get a check. another big news stories to day. we begin with the ukraine conflict. the situations running these upper rogia nuclear power plant remains increasingly tense . kiev forces continue to sheldon sites on the nearby city of inert good dar during sparking really fears of an actor noble like nuclear disaster. the latest attack came on sunday, one civilian was killed. another injured, a young woman who received struck the wounds needed hospital treatment as well. local officials also said you can in rockets targeted to nearby thermo power station, which generates the energy for the nuclear plants. it comes as moscow has been several times including the un security council that ukraine is shelling the

nuclear plant on purpose and creating the risk of a large scale catastrophe. when russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman of slum the u . n for preventing the international atomic energy agency from accessing the side. we are fighting to ensure that specialists, representatives of the international atomic energy agency can get to the zap rosy nuclear power plant. they want to get there to and the international atomic energy agency as a structure has been ready to do this for a long time. but all this so called western community, of course, together with the key of regime, is doing everything to prevent this. while i'm joined in the studio by ortiz, donal quarter to talk more on that hi dawn year, the horrors of chernobyl, remain fresh and mines, particularly in the region. yet a potential disaster on that scale is reportedly being wrist. again, take us through while union key of is no doubt playing with

a whole lot of fire by continuously launching missiles. launching artillery shells a targets near these upper osha nuclear power plants. they did that as early as sunday when one civilian was killed. another was injured and there was also a lot of shelling on saturday the day before. now the authorities of, and i'm, and actually i wanted to say this is also why the international atomic energy agency has been saying that they want to see an end to the fighting around the nuclear power plant and this upper osha region. authorities said that the best way to do that is to clear out these ukranian firing positions that are presenting the biggest threat to the actual power plant. yet we've been hearing statements from vladimir zalinski that seem to contradict that. and he's actually calling for is actually saying that russian troops are endangering the plant and calling for them to be shot upon. let's take a listen. or she could be surely, every russian military officer who either shoots at the plant or shoots under the

cover of the plan, you must understand that he becomes a special target for our intelligence, for our special services for our army. now what's more shocking about the ukranian president actually saying he's ready to order people to shoot to add a nuclear power plant in certain situations is actually that this is a pretty moderate position, considering other opinions in ukraine right now. some are calling for the ukranian armed forces to actively fire upon this nuclear power plant. city. yes, it's a risk. many people will suffer, but even more people will suffer if russian administrations and nuclear facilities are not attacked. now, there should be a strike. there's no other way. so probably the best thing to do here is to like, maria's harvest said allow the international atomic energy agency specialists to go to upper rosa. see the condition of the nuclear power plant. see who is actually

endangering that site for themselves. but the united nations doesn't want to let them do that for some reason. and it could have something to do with the kind of reckless attitude the kiev seems to have when it comes to another potential nuclear disaster. ortiz don quarter taken us through that thanks told. well, the german of the we are together with russian movement all these up a rosy region. the flooding me regard believes ukraine is targeting the plan to get russia to stop it's offensive business law. if these are carefully planned actions by ukraine to strike the largest european nucular plant ins up a, roger, they've been probing to see how effectively russian air defences would repel the strikes. and then they used heavy artillery mortars and drones. these were targeted strikes by the ukrainian army. zelinski is terrorists, have too many targets, the cooling system of the nuclear power plant and the dry storage of the nuclear fuel waste. a damaged cooling system can lead to overheating and accidents, and the power units and damaging the dry storage of nuclear fuel waste can lead to

contamination of the environment. they are doing this to stop the advance of the russian army at the meetings of the national security of the defense of ukraine. zelinski senior officials say that they can cause a control to release of radiation, which in their opinion will stop the russian offensive, which is the activities of the i. e. a are being blocked by the un, because if they come, it will be forced to admit who is attacking the plant. we are waiting for the i. e . s. inspection any moment, and we will be glad to see them yet. meanwhile, local official say, russian lead forces are advancing and on bass reaching key strong holes previously held by ukrainian trips in the region. russian forces continue to engage the ukrainian army in the key city of of d, of k in the done yet republic. the area has been the focus now fierce battle since the conflict erupted in late february with the air force as long using it target the capitol of and then yet skin the republic. but recently the tough has

ski fell under the control of the done yet republics, troops, russian lead forces also secured a strategic point on the outskirts of subversive, an rti cru visited captured positions near. there were a ukrainian neo nazi battalion. the am kracken was pushed back. 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 spot 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 let me know the most point of this

advance and basically what they're trying to do is they're trying to, well, in circle severson. well, this ration from the north, ukraine's nationalist battalions like kracken for instance. they're ukranian, nazis are very much alike 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 company's trenches. from that point,

the artillery takes over rounds from artillery doors. we're back and forth routinely here to ukrainian tanks. fleet from the shelling as 2 bright orange spots to the right suggest to moore didn't make it. no one wants 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, something exploded 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. 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 today, monday marks the 1st anniversary of the return to power of the taliban in kabul. and it seems the emotional wounds of the chaotic u. s. army withdrawal from the country are still being felt. the u. s. medias reporting on an american man who apparently committed suicide during a memorial service for his fallen brother killed during last years. polite. the 20 rule corporal was among 13 american servicemen who lost their lives in a suicide bomb attack near kibbler port. the incident happened while large crowds of people were trying to flee the afghan capital. well, new details on the failures of the u. s. retreat have emerged in a leak reports at that is courtesy of the u. s. foreign 1st committee. republicans

on reportedly claims that were just $36.00 state department officials on the ground at copolla report a year ago to deal with the thousands. remember those pictures thousands of people desperately trying to get out of the country and even 12 months on there are reportedly full tens of thousands of off got stuck in the country waiting for special immigration visas. u. s. congress and michael mc fall, criticize the disconnect between us intelligence services. there was less of like, there are many, since if you will, there was a complete lack of failure to plan. there wasn't a plan and it was, there was no plan execute. there's a disconnect between, you know, intelligence on the ground and what the white house is doing. and this report, the says it all i, there is no way we're going to evacuate embassy personnel from helicopters like we did in vietnam. of course, we know that happened. mike, nicole there well,

let's take a closer look at how the widely criticized withdrawal was implemented and how the events on the ground unfolded.

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

the right after leaving afghan us down, the us impose sanctions on the local banking system and it's offsets abroad. and so did the u. n. g was and prominent economists now insist those assets must finally be on frozen on the work of banks restored because if not, it could mitigate a raging hunger and poverty crisis. about $9000000.00 belonging to afghanistan is currently held in foreign banks. the bond left millions of afghans cut off from their own bank accounts, and also lead to a sharp depreciation of the local currency as well as a spike in prices. in february, president biden claimed he was ready to leave half off to both $7000000000.00 restored in a new york bank, but would withhold the rest as compensation for the victims of $911.00. in all the

you say it's ready to return money had confiscated. if the taliban sets up a more diverse government on restores women's freedoms, people enough candidates fund spoke of the disastrous impact, the sanctions with out on their lives. i know you who know none of us sanctions have destroyed afghans, homes made children suffer from famine and literally took the clothes from their backs. only a rare person here can say that they can make clothes for their children and not mentioned the high prices of flour. boil sugar and food and water taught him high. if we talk about the sanctions america and poses on our poor and innocent people, they just want to kill people. in my opinion, the us should not mystery task guns. why? the poor people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflicts, hardship, and suffered poverty. thank god, there is now security. we are happy with the islamic emerick. life is secure overall. but the big challenge that we are concerned about is the economic hardship . a period of just 10 days. last year,

a soft galveston turned on and said the taliban back where they were precisely 2 decades before ortiz, racial blevins report. 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's 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 bob take over that gas that now inevitable? no, it is none. because you have the african troops have 300000. well equipped as well as crypt is any army in the world and an air force against something like 75000 color bought. 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 charts 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 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. the 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 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 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 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 the all or nothing strategy employed by the u. s. 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 to no, they didn't, it was split. no,

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 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, 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 going to 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. rachel blevins, we'll, we'll be bringing you more on afghanistan and how it's people happy navigating in the wake of the u. s. policy center, special coverage. right, right. this ah

75 years ago to the day 2 centuries of british colonial rule in india came to an end giving rise to 2 independent states. but partition came at a huge cost to both pakistan and india was our correspondent, runjun sharma explained. amidst the triumphs in dells independence, in the summer of 1947, a line of separation was drawn by brutish power. still. 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
