celebrations in afghanistan's capital marketing one year. since the box us pull out and local efforts to overcome that deadly legacy. stay tuned for special coverage with good morning 5 am here in moscow to wherever you're tuning and from welcome to the program. i'm here elizabeth, with our international top news stories from around the world. our top story, russian defense minister, has held a phone call with the un secretary general, focusing on an embattled nuclear power plant in southeastern ukraine. moscow has urgently called on the west to make ukrainian forces caesar shelly of the zap arossi power plant to avert a potential nuclear disaster. the facility again came under fire on monday evening . we strongly urge washington, brussels and other capitals, primarily european ones to stop the irresponsible games and intrigues around the
10:02 pm
nuclear power plant and immediately influenced the key of authorities to force them to stop shelling the plant and it's adjacent territories. meanwhile, local officials say russian lead forces have been advancing in the dying yes. republic reaching t ukrainian stronghold on the front line. the neighboring logan's republic is under full control of russian lead forces and the retreating ukrainian forces have left behind vast supplies of unused ammunition arches. eager stano reports ukrainian troops often have to retreat very hastily and abandoning loads of ammunition has become something of a habit for them. like here for example, you can see dozens of artillery shells. these are soviet made, but they abandon both soviet made and western supplied javelin, marseilles, british and laws, equally alike when ukrainian troops in this little village received an order to fall back. it was already too late. russian troops had critically closed in making the escape a herculean task key forces,
10:03 pm
ram light on their feet. whoa. so special units, they load whatever they can find into trucks like this one, food is taken to a special place. were all these kills and we'll just armaments are examined and those that are deemed safe to use. they are being sent to the front. those that are not, well, they're safely destroyed every other st junction here has been excavated and turned into miniature strongholds inside civilian houses. foxholes providing quick shelter from the shillings. it really couldn't. ukrainian troops were live in the houses kitchen. they dug out a small shelter there so they could hide in case of shelling and survive, even if the home were destroyed. there are trenches across the whole town. they
10:04 pm
defended their positions very well. they were preparing for many years. they kicked the locals out of their homes, or made them sit in the basements and used them as shields as we've been covering this war in the going back. we've seen countless civilian households, which have been re purpose by the ukraine and military to service defense fortifications. this one is no exception. the owners were evicted by the ukrainian troops. and now, well, whoever used to live here is simply of no place to return to a russian fighter jet has intercepted a british plane on a spy mission in the north west of russia, enforced it from the area that's according to the russian defense ministry. the real air force jet flew over murmansk on monday. however, the british defense ministry has denied the plain entered russian territory, claiming the flight was on a regular surveillance mission of the russian northern fleet from the international
10:05 pm
airspace. after leaving u k, the plain refilled over the north sea and then had a 2 more months. let's cross now live to our guests for mercy. i officer raymond mcgovern. is it normal for britain to spy on russia's black fleet like this? or is this just a one off? i assume it's normal. so there are british u. s. arrangements which share this particular reconnaissance aircraft, which also does electronic warfare activities. and i don't really know how uncommon it is for such an aircraft to violate russian airspace. i but i would think that this, this is nothing more than a, a penetration, and i just to tests russian air defenses, or just to make a, make
10:06 pm
a little probe to see what that, what russia would do. right? so the u. k. has claimed the plane never left the international airspace, but surely such a move given the time, given its ongoing support for ukraine, can be seen as incredibly provocative of the gesture. well, it can be viewed as provocative or to tempt depends on how often this happens. but one cannot rule out gresh gross stupidity on the part of pilots. nor can one rule out a pilot who is a kind of a cowboy and wants to touch his own metal by violating russian aerospace at this. this little question that this would have been something that russia would want to protect against all the more so, since as you know, would months and there and the, the naval air bases. there are very, very important to the northern fleet. i find it
10:07 pm
a little amusing that the are the place over which sure this happened is called spirit. i nice holy nose sacred nose. i assume that means that it's a little cape heading out into the into the see the baron c. a, but i don't her for me, it would not seem enough evidence to point this, sir. point this out as something terribly provocative. right. and while it's uncertain, let's ask, what would the u. k. even have to possibly gain from this welsh, the u. k. corporate completely with united states. ok these, these air patrols happened very, very frequently. matter of fact, they're ferry called correctly way back when k a l o 7 was downed oversight,
10:08 pm
buria. they had mistaken it for one of these aircraft or a she one went 35 and the, these things are, are just really, are used in these roles to, to provoke air defense radars. how to explore what's going on that k l o 7, or was a civilian aircraft, of course, or followed the path of the, the kinds of reconnaissance aircraft that the russians are. soviets at the time took as an intelligence aircraft. that's why they shut it down. that's such surveillance, i suggest that not only is the us fighting a proxy wearing ukraine and we, we know that a lot of the evidence points of this, but are the british showing that they're getting on board with this as well? well, the british are really just a vassal, that the united states,
10:09 pm
they do what the united states tells them to do. they're pretty much isolated from the rest of the world, even from europe these days. so to, to interpret a british infringement on russian airspace as anything more than the same thing from the, from, from the us would be a mistake. they do this all the time. i would be very interested to see how it turns out, what the actual flight path looked like and whether it was going further on to movement square. the naval base is because there of course, saw your submarines. there are your offensive, there are your strategic forces, and that would mean a lot more than the ukraine. is there a specific geographic or geopolitical interest as to why the u. k. would want to have any sort of vested interest in these territories at the moment?
10:10 pm
well, as you saw from the map, it's hard up against norway and finland. now as you know, finland and sweden have just apply for nato membership. so this area is more sensitive than it usually would be. but again, i would take to draw a great implication from the fact that one british aircraft reconnaissance aircraft violated russian airspace ice. i suspect this happens more often than not this time they were caught and we'll see how they tried to explain themselves. raymond mcgovern, former ca officer, thank you. welcome. in kenya, all eyes are in a much contested election for head of state as a declared winner is the east african nations current deputy present. president

10:14 pm
corporate. the campaign promised to address what we call production ended by giving more subsidies from us to try and get to things to get the business of smoking and coming, going and productivity. that was what it means that he had to do right now. in spite of the fact that half of the country is divided, i think at some point canyons of to place the tough choices ahead of them. foot, pull it back by and begin to address the immediate concerns which is gonna make crisis in the country. ah, and my celebrations in the streets of couple, marking one year since the taliban regained power in afghanistan, the fundamental islamic group quickly restored its control over the central asian country. as the u. s. withdrew its occupying forces last august. taliban fighters and their supporters chanted slogans in front of the deserted

10:16 pm

10:18 pm
a complete lie. mm. ah . what with the yoga love that goes around the corner. the security of the airport was completely under you was control. even the taliban were scared to winter and they did not allow people on the premises. it was definitely a complete negligence of their security measures till the last, the wounds and misery were all brought to us by the usa. we know very well that they claim to protect animal rights and come to rescue animals and danger. but here they did not even rescue people in this particular situation. so maybe we,
10:19 pm
afghans or muslims are not as important to them as the anamosa batter will be bringing you more in afghanistan and how it's people have been trying to get their lives back to normal. since the turbulent us pull out in our special coverage throughout the month, no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all of this. i gathered up my 2 brothers left for the
10:20 pm
a. one was chills. they still missing. mm . and a chef loaded with we is set to sail for ethiopia from ukraine on the 1st such un chartered journey to africa. since the start of the ukrainian war. the vessel is to travel via what is being termed a grain corridor in the black sea, through an international agreement, recently brokered in, in some bull by russia, turkey and ukraine. the deal was signed with western leaders and the u and raising concerns over a looming threat of hunger on the african continent. however, of the 16 such ships that had previously departed to turkey, south korea, the u. k. italy in ireland. they are yet to reach africa. history. professor gerald horn argues there is an anti african bias behind the delay. i think it's consistent
10:21 pm
with these pastor anti black anti african policies. we know that african refugees who were seeking to leave ukraine in the aftermath of the events of february 2022 were oftentimes brutalized by the ukrainian authorities not to mention their comrades and neighboring poland. so the fact that grange shipments are not being shipped to africa is wholly consistent and can growing with the ongoing anti african anti black policies that we see as an emblem of the key of regime. this comes as a threat of severe hunger grows in africa with a devastating drought in a number of countries accentuating the problem. the situation in somalia is considered the most tire, more than 750000 people have been displaced in the country this year following a severe drought. it's a 2nd time in 2 years from ali has been left parts,
10:22 pm
something not seen in the for previous decades. the number of people facing severe hunger is now expected to rise by another 2000000. taking the total to $7000000.00 . we spoke to residents of the capital, mogadishu, about how they've been affected. then i fled from to our village because there is no water in 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 the level. i fled from lawful village in cretan wary district because of hunger. it took me for days and nights to come here by foot, and we faced huge problems. misery and affliction said on black of water, forced to flee from our village. lawful the drought affected us severely. we are at adela idp center, some 1114 families live here in this county. 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 of the fall. saw this week mark 75 years since britain's 2 centuries of colonial rule over india came to an end giving rise to 2 independent states. but the actual process of partition came at a huge cost to both india and neighboring pakistan. as our correspondent, ruge and sharma explains, amidst the triumphs in dallas independence in the summer of 1947, a line of separation was drawn by british barrister. it was called the partition august of 1947 ratcliffe drew a line 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 were on one side and the muslims on the other 75 years on we meet doors whose life was changed forever by hastily drawn borders. this is the north
10:24 pm
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 partition survivors in the village. there particular mother 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 weather goldlick. she said chatter, he may have left pakistan, but pakistan has stayed with him in more ways than one. even today, he writes sick haines 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 stay his 1st home. his ancestral village is only a few miles from your just across the border in pakistan. 3 years ago,
10:25 pm
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, 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 rows are shut. if thou gal, 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 c, all caught in pakistan have maintained the 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 lights out, the lamp right here, across the river robbing the sun is setting in pakistan. it's hard to imagine that
10:26 pm
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 with the pain ridge and sharma, arte but job as indian pakistan mark one of the most significant moments in their respective histories. people have taken to the streets to celebrate the occasion. parades are taking place on both sides of the border with displays of flags and other national symbols. we heard from guests in both countries on how the nations tried to force your own pass forward. following the partition that rich british india apart foreign policy very much after since 2014 often the not anymore the government giving people. so there is a big difference between the 2014. find for indian find policy on august 2014 can find now in, in one policy makers of the very active on foreign minister is josh. and then he is
10:27 pm
betty dyadic. and he's all this, but people are about the interest of indian people in young gulf made in yesterday . and he doesn't, he doesn't hold himself back when he talks about that indian foreign policy interest, an indian in objective of scenarios like a she needs problem is that pakistan always wants to solve the issue in an international. but on the other hand, india, indian foreign policy make birth and get got men, are they all want to solve the issue in bilateral? so this is the fundamental difference between indian foreign policy makers and artist on foreign policy. at age 75, i think augustine finds itself in a, in an extremely difficult situation. a one of the electric prime ministers was watered out a few months ago and it is place we have a government which is which is being driven by the perception that this is like pro
10:28 pm
america, that the united states basically played a role in the regime change because the former prime minister sounded very nationalistic, very independent. he, he tried to pursue a foreign policy that is independent of the influence of the united states of america. and this is why right now we see massive polarization between the former prime minister m ron hahn and his party on the one hand and the rest of the political parties as well as the military establishment. on the other hand, they believe that they can take the country out of the current crisis, which they believe in ron khan. the former prime minister had created by getting into in getting into a really nationalistic rhetoric and which was perceived as anti america in the united states itself. those were the top stories for this, our next since the start of russia's military operation in ukraine, the e u. has tied itself up in knots,
10:29 pm
10:30 pm
things are considered on people since the started russian special military operation and ukraine. the ear was tied up in knots, declares it must be independent of russian energy. well, at the same time, terrified moscow might terminate supplies altogether at any time. for the e u energy policy is an ideological struggle. oh, discuss these issues and more. i'm joined by my guess, jordan samuel in budapest, he's a pod cast or the guy which will be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow we have to be bob and she's a political analyst and editor at you know me internet media project or i generally cross rules. in fact, that means you can jump the time you want. and i always appreciate it. when i start out with georgia in budapest, georgia, very simple question, does the, you have
