9:01 pm
hello from r t studios in moscow. welcome to this ours top news stories from around the world . i'm fiorella is about pleasure having you join us from wherever you may be watching. the embattled separation power plant in south eastern new crane has been a focus of fighting in recent days with cabs troops. now, firing at a nuclear waste storage facility, nearly destroying a radioactive container, that's according to the head of the local government. russia also says ukraine's attacks on the plan have raised the potential for a nuclear disaster by destroying energy infrastructure. the key of regime is putting millions of people in europe in danger of nuclear disaster with washington turning a blind eye. the nuclear power plant is the largest in europe, and the shelling there has sparked fears, other potential tragedy. worse than chernobyl, russian forces took over the facility in march as they swept through parts of eastern new frame at the start of their military campaign. moscow has recently
9:02 pm
spoken with the un secretary general about the risk of continued fighting in the area and has invited specialists from the international atomic energy agency to inspect the plan, the you and has said it would be ready to facilitate such a measure from the korean side, if kiev agrees nearby in crimea, a state of emergency has been declared following explosions at a military munition stockpile near the peninsula. northern city of john coy russia's defense ministry says it was an act of sabotage. a fire at the facility sparked a massive explosion on tuesday morning injuring at least 2 people. another $3000.00 people had to be evacuated from nearby areas. the regional governor says civilian infrastructure was damaged, including residential buildings, a power plant and a railway. regina done this research according to the russian defense ministry. the
9:03 pm
cause of the incident in the junko district was sabotaged for i am continuing to work at the scene where there was a fire and detonation of ammunition this morning. usually with a more than 3000 people, were evacuated from the settlements of moscow and his office coin. as soon as the detonation is over to leave a house to house search will begin to evaluate the damage of every one affected will receive assistance. you will put us on a shifter. we woke up at 6 am after hearing an explosion. then the blasts came more frequently in the bathroom as trunk, blast waif covered as we lay down in the bathroom with a child place her fell down. you every one ran to the basement. you know, a yard would sheeps were flying everywhere. some kind of detonators from shells or something like that were lying around. he was such powerful explosions that he was really scary and with children, the very scared a shall flew into the neighbor's yard and into the house. it did the detonate and
9:04 pm
it just lay there. another explosion completely demolished the wall near the house of our neighbors. or to them in the morning the shelling began, then i sat in the house during the impact, the windows were completely knocked out. i got scared and immediately ran into the basement. we sat there for 3 hours. it was frightening. does it with up to moscow now, were dozens of top military officials from some of the world's most powerful countries have been sitting down for talks to mall over geopolitical concerns and priorities . he event is hosted by russia's defense ministry, as ortiz, donald quarter reports. well, this year's moscow conference on international security kicked off with a keynote speech by vladimir putin. the russian president focused primarily on the west destabilizing role in the ukraine conflict. but also said that this is just one part of us lead efforts to stow conflict around the world. the russian president spoke a bit about those efforts in africa, latin america,
9:05 pm
and specifically around taiwan, even accused the west of trying to organize a nato style military alliance in the far east. now vladimir putin also said this means 2 things. number one that the age of unit polarity is coming to an end. and number 2, the west is desperately trying to hold on to the last remnants of its hegemony around the world. western officials know how many ukraine ukrainians have died in the name of that a gemini, and how many more will die in the name of it in the future. and yet, it seems like that's a risk they're willing to take since, according to russian president vladimir putin, the west has been using these ukrainians as cannon fodder and a proxy war against russia. that would give you this week in order to maintain their had gemini, they need conflicts. therefore they decided that the people of ukraine are to be cannon fodder. they implemented the anti russia project in ukraine, the turned a blind eye to the spread of new nazi ideology. to the massacres of people and on
9:06 pm
bass echo, they pumped up and continue to pump up the key of regime with arms, including heavy weapons of the situation. and ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict. shortly after potent speech, we heard from russian defense minister, sergei chicago. and he echoed a lot of what the russian president said in terms of the end of western unit polarity and nato's attempts to fight a proxy war against russia in ukraine. but he also spoke a lot about the never ending a flow of weapons from the west into ukraine. and while unfortunately, a lot of them are making their way into the hands of black market tiers. shy, go also said that others, many others are actually finding their way into the hands of russian troops in the, in the form of war trophies. but probably the most important thing shy goose said during the speech is that russia is not interested in employing nuclear weapons in the ukraine conflict with, from a military point of view,
9:07 pm
there is no need to use nuclear weapons in ukraine to achieve the set goals. the main purpose of russian nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attack. so some very high ranking defense officials from around the world have come here to participate in this conference. and that's basically a rundown of what rushes leadership decided to welcome them with retired indian air marshal and head of the peninsula foundation thing tank. and math is war and says the world has been dominated by the western military industrial complex for far too long. looking at economic, you find that the world has been dominated and much of the instruments of local governance are skewed towards western economic dominance across the if you open union that they can ship quite independently. and if you're allowed to your opinion and to look up, it's a good security, they wouldn't have been much problem. it's only when they bill is now taking center stage to take care of the impact you have been in security. western europe,
9:08 pm
security particularly and european union has now actually little have they realize that they've actually become enslaved to american labor on the european lead, you know, american lead economic system. and then once you get sucked into with india, part of the overall military industrial complex. absolutely. economic gaudy, ah, null and void. that's other declared runner up in kenya's presidential election, former prime minister riley odessa has described the vote saying he'll launch a legal battle against the narrow victory for the current deputy president william rudo. the political turmoil has sparked riots throughout the eastern african nation here some of the aftermath. ah,
9:09 pm
monday's announcement of rudo victory prompted his supporters to hold celebrations around the country. but groups backing his rival, doing a set tires on fire in the city streets and blockaded roads before police dispersed a crowd. o dinner has vowed to overturn the election results only through constitutional and other legal channels. with many viewing this as a clear signal to his supporters to stop engaging and violent protests. ryan loading guy on that is to to concede defeat, following the declaration of the results by the chem on the electron brody, or for lexical karate who declared his opponent dr. william some way to to us the we know of the 2020 to general election now mr. deemed or in his address at the k i
9:10 pm
c. c. today. he said that the i e b c. contravene the know by announcing the winner of the credit union to general elections alone. in his statement here tom, the i. e. b. c. did not have the quorum scenes for all the commissioners. distance themselves from a verizon that was announced by the chairman for legible county before commissioners claimed that the i v c. chairman from that should, mccarty did not engaged him onto the final fonts of this election. had a thickness in neat. we today cornel signed by the electoral result. however, members of the, of some blood drawn from the country and even the international body, the time between defended to general elections as a free and fair. i know dingo has said that resolves the to announce the declaration that was made by the chairman of fletcher mccarty should be tom to non on voice. yes. and he support us to remain calm as they are following on that on
9:11 pm
the required process. of course, to knowledge designs that shall probably form the true id election re election over this process. to get to know who is that right before we know of the 2022 presidential elections. meanwhile, on the taiwan strait tensions have been rising over micro chip production, as the us seems to be trying to boost its business ties with ty, pay the world, the biggest semiconductor producer, and even pushing beijing out of its position as a global high tech market leader. ortiz kayla marvin has the story. the endo pacific region is finally starting to simmer down in the aftermath of the heated tensions caused by nancy pelosi as provocation. and as the smoke clears, we are now getting some clarity on what motivated the entire debacle. the taiwan strait is the main route, connecting the east china sea and the south china sea. therefore,
9:12 pm
the peace and stability of the strait is critical to the stability of the global high tech product supply chain. brand lation microchips that's taiwanda specialty. the island produces 65 percent of the world, semiconductors and 90 percent of the world's advanced chips, a pretty big chunk of the global market for a vital commodity. pretty much everything we, you airplanes, medical equipment, i phones, refrigerators. these chips are everywhere. no coincidence that nancy pelosi took time to sit down with the chairman of t. s. m. c, the world's largest chip maker. while she was on her visit to the island of taiwan monday, another american delegation met with him. here's how it was reported in the us mainstream media, how to expand economic corporation between taiwan in the us, namely expanding investment in the semiconductor industry and improving supply chain in the semi conductor industry. this is important because washington is
9:13 pm
finally admitting what this is all about. this is washington struggling for control of key technology markets. they've been trying to cut out aging for quite some time . the us has banned the export of technology to china, and it has passed the ships act hailed as a bill that would help bring ship production home. now, part of this law would be that no company linked to china can get subsidies. beijing says these policies remind them of times passed to washington is entrenched in the mentality of the cold war and the 0 sum game running counter to the common aspirations of people in china and the u. s. to strengthen their cooperation, china's firmly opposed to their mentality and will firmly defend its own interests . critics say this is obviously you ask multi nationals trying to beat down a competitor. and this comes as new reports show that china has overtaken the u. s . when it comes to scientific research,
9:14 pm
now the res for semiconductors is on and the usa wants taiwan in their pocket. is about staying top dog in the global markets and making sure china doesn't carve out a bigger chunk of global profits. washington seems committed to escalating as much as possible, even if it means the possibility of war between 2 nuclear armed powers. caleb martin artsy, new york. i for more, we're in a cross live to michael rather than walden author and professor at new york university. so nancy pelosi is recent trip to taiwan, almost lead to a military stand off. and now there's yet another us visit that's increasing tensions. is it a fair price to pay for a leading position in the world's micro chip industry? this is a really high price to pay for that, and it's very much not guaranteed in any case that the us will gain ascendancy. and the chip market which taiwan dominates can,
9:15 pm
which they're trying to keep china from, from ascending in. so this was a very high price to pay and, and there the disruptions could be substantial. china, of course, stopped export in sand and taiwan. but as it turns out, that sand is not necessary for the chip production because it's not high grade. and nevertheless, these kind of gestures are showing what china's willing to do to retaliate at least rhetorically. and otherwise, what we're seeing here is us attempting to strangle china's development capabilities in terms of high tech. right. and us president joe biden on tuesday signed a bill aim to strengthen the u. s. competitiveness with china in the microchip production and research. what is your view of that legislation? yes, the chips on a science act,
9:16 pm
which will feed some $55000000000.00 into development of chips. domestically. i think it's, it's the kind of behavior that we would expect from china. if, if all the reports about china are true, that it's very much a state based attempt to bolster the market. whereas a free and open competition would allow all the players to develop and to trade and to increase their well, altogether. but this is a way of stemming chinese growth while it's supposedly accelerating us growth, but it actually hurt both of these countries. because part of the app is not only building, you know, chip plants in the united states, but also wording the export of chips, tech, not chip technology, and even manufacturing technology from the netherlands to china. so this is
9:17 pm
a very much of a restriction is isolationist trade. policy and you know, supposedly trump was the trade isolation, but here is by enacting trade, isolationist policy, the willing heard both countries. and how do you think this confrontation within the microsoft industry could affect the already strained relationships between china and the u. s. and what could be the potential risks? well, there's military implications, of course, because one of the reasons why the u. s. wants to gain ascendance in the chip market is maintain its military privacy. and this is ok. so this, this chip policy, this science a chip and science act is in the military as well. so it escalates pensions militarily and it puts china and the position of having compete to try to compete with the u. s. militarily. so it doesn't do anything for the relations
9:18 pm
politically. this is a very, very unwise move. right. and so just out of that, do you think that china is new military drills that we've seen could force us to stay away from taiwan? well, it's possible, i know, i know that we do supply chains had been disrupted for a while, but there is no sign that china will try to disrupt taiwan, supply of chips to the world because they depend on that as well. so if they were to do that then that be cutting their own throats. yes, this is not good for this could lead to further escalation. if the u. s. continues to make these kinds of gestures towards i want. we keep hearing washington say it fully respects the one china principal, but it continues to send military support to tie one. is there an actual
9:19 pm
possibility for an arm conflict between washington and beijing in your opinion? wouldn't that be a travesty, a tragedy of the largest magnitude imaginable until moslems of the chips fall like that. but these kinds of gestures, the kind of military posturing that the u. s. of doing with reference to china. i think with this chips with this ship's conflict, good escalade, i'm. that's not something we want. naturally, all the citizens of the world would be put in jeopardy, but such a thing. thank you, michael rectinwald's, author and professor at new york university. thanks. lawyers for imprisoned whistleblower julian assigned have launched a lawsuit against the u. s. central intelligence agency and its former director, my palm pail, accusing the c. i of illegally recording their conversations and copying data from
9:20 pm
their devices. the recording of meetings with friends, with lawyers and the copying of his attorneys and friends, digital information, teens. the criminal prosecution because now the government knows the contents of those communications. there should be sanctions even up to dismissal of those charges or withdrawal of an extradition request. the violations were particularly agreed was the attorney's, along with 2 journalists who have joined the suit, argue as citizens. they say that the ca infringed on their constitutional rights to conduct private discussions with the psalms and australian journalists who faces us as the charges. according to the lawsuit, the c, i allegedly worked with a security from hired by the ecuadorian embassy in london, where a sa was living at the time to spy on the people who visited him. there a song you founded the organisation week, a lease is being held in london, notorious ball marsh prison. he faces extradition to the u. s. where he is accused
9:21 pm
of violating the espionage act by publishing secret military and diplomatic files that allegedly expose us war crimes. in afghanistan and iraq, we heard from former c, a officer, john carrick house, who says a lawsuit even if it fails, might affect the outcome of a sanchez case. this suit is bringing to evidence, bringing into evidence. the fact that the cia had actively plan to murder julia sarge, or to kidnap julia sancha in london. and, and, and the fact that the cia had bugged the ecuadorian embassy for both audio and video in order to listen to what he was telling his lawyers. because of that, he can't possibly get a fair trial in the united states. so while the suit against the cia itself as a suit, probably won't go anywhere. the rest of that information ought to be evidence in julianna's sanchez case. i personally don't think there's a chance of
9:22 pm
a fair trial. no, julian has been charged in a federal district. the eastern district of virginia, which is called the espionage court. it's called the espionage port because no espionage defendant has ever won a case there. and keep in mind that julian's jury, because of the location of this court in suburban virginia, julian's jury will be made up of people who work for, or who have relatives who worked for the cia, the f. b. i. the department of homeland security. the department of defense and intelligence community contractors. that's not fair, that's not a fair trial at all. and global coal consumption could reach a decade high as the e. u scrambles for new sources of energy, while the repercussions of its sanctions against russia continue to bite. it is now turning a south africa to fulfill its energy needs, despite being among those who pledged $8500000000.00 to de carbonized. the
9:23 pm
country's economy in 2021, south africa core exports to europe have increased a staggering 720 percent on last year, with the fossil fuel becoming a full affordable option in most of the e. u. germany in particular, expected to burn a $100000.00 tons of coal per month this winter. meanwhile, the eas grand plans for green energy appear even further out of reach. that's after western democracies launched a so called groundbreaking international energy transition partnership with south africa, the british prime minister stressing last year that cooperation was pretoria will create a president of transition to clean energy while you, as president joe biden promised to conduct the transformation quickly at the moment the west is efforts to support green energy are clearly on the back burner as it seeks to dig more coal from south africa to probably
9:24 pm
mexico for the year in the sense that they've made massive commitments, public commitments to de carbonized. they are a chronometer, and this certainly seems like a regular racial step, even though it might be out of necessity even specifically germany. i think i have made massive and put a massive amount of pressure on the rest of the world to di, carbonized, and to move towards wind and solar energy production. but it's exactly that type of sources of those sources of energy, which is actually europe down for the base part of the last 6 months reinforce being forced to close down our power. but the, the 1st row that wants to eat, co, i mean, it doesn't make sense at all. it just shows you what a funny this or was the u. s. has been trying to pretend it isn't liable for the death of afghans during its chaotic withdraw from the country one year ago this
9:25 pm
month. that's according to afghan authorities investigating the deaths of civilians who were trying to evacuate from couples, airport r t 's. maria, for notion, shed more light on the story. a year has passed since you as troops and they are western allies, fled from afghanistan, but there is still no justice for people who back bent were trying to escape from kabul airport in tears, panic, and agony. hundreds of afghans who worked with american forces and wanted to leave immediately in fear of the taliban to revenge, than managed to get on a plane. the picture provided by the u. s. military show the round 640 people on board. that plane is only meant to carry $100.00. 34 passengers. ah
9:26 pm
us officials confirmed later that human remains were found inside the landing gear of the c. 17 mill. replaying used for the evacuation flight from of janice down to carter. the number of dead bodies found and the cause of death remains unclear even to day. i've got authorities tried to investigate the case to shed light on what had happened. we talked to those who are still fighting for justice. the really mainstream media is hiding the real facts. what we're demanding is a fair investigation, but the major is selling a complete lie to the world. western governments want to rectify their wrong doings and they can actually do it. but it's impossible to deny facts. the u. s air force also promised to probe our hearts go out to the families of the deceased. they said was the outcome though? was anyone held accountable for the deadline incident? no, never, no one. the staff judge advocate offices from both the air mobility command in the
9:27 pm
united states central command conducted a review of the inquiry findings and rendered, concurring opinions, that the aircrew was in compliance with applicable rules of engagement specific to the event. and the overall law of armed conflict years that went viral a year ago, show afghans desperately trying to climb on to the wings of the plane, all to flee the country. danger and they're very high risk of injuring themselves, didn't stop them. and in its turn, they didn't stop the u. s. pilots from taken off the theater. another one with the people are falling from planes and dying. it was shocking that the pilots still rushed to take off. when these young men were dying, even more shocking is diverted by the american air force authorities that they crew was not guilty if they are not guilty then who is responsible. the united states is responsible, but washington doesn't seem to agree. and with its investigation, given no clear answers, it's hard to tell whether anyone will ever be held responsible for the tragedy
9:28 pm
and will be bringing you more in afghanistan and how the lives of ordinary people have changed since the u. s. withdrawal in our special coverage throughout this month. aah! that's are up on this. ours, top news stories from around the globe for more up to the minute coverage head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on rumble. odyssey gavin twitter. see you again next hour l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such order that
9:29 pm
conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obviously is to rate trust rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect his own existence with ah, the eradication of self ism was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan ost for the colonization of german ization of eastern europe,
9:30 pm
the plan involved about 80 percent been killed, relocated me. that was really it was, he just knew i busy you really? yes. give us proceed to me, actually, up when you might have for i be zeroing him. yes, cuz we're still mute. you don't was threatening yet. sailor asked the unions into personally, i mean, i was just to reach the group my go ahead. yeah. my as of that, you of nice, lovely, so that she missed school. so that was the gate mission much already in a bit of you to see me. image is here with national models, but it is different than you sure will change when else got us. but it'll be really changes williams coefficient. that's what else can i said a lot of the get to finish the upgrade to being he is eating. yeah, i could only chest just lay on school with don't just here. nobody got sick, but i took brains of pretty my purse that i need is nashika. that's a pretty close nickel by neck. can you just look in your not to skip practicable yet, but the more stablish will don't shake to media gracie. bye.
