ah, ah ah, moscow says he of is raising the wrist of a nuclear disaster were center noble as ukrainian force the shelley radioactive waste facility at the battle separation, a power plant, arson, violence, and riots. kenya, a face of the political deadlock as a defeated presidential candidate refuses to concede money 1st as tensions with china over taiwan them or down. it seems the actual purpose of the provocative us visits to the island was to expand microchips with . good morning,

i am here in our international studios in moscow. welcome to the program. i'm carol is about happy to bring you this hours most pressing stories from around the globe . the embattled supper rogia power plant in south eastern ukraine has been a focus of fighting in recent days with caps. 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 of a potential tragedy. worse than her noble russian forces took over the facility in march as they swept through parts of the eastern new grain. at the start of their military campaign, moscow has recently spoken with the un secretary general about the risks of

continue fighting in the area and has invited specialists from the international atomic energy agency to inspect the plan, the un house that it would be ready to facilitate such a measure from the previous side, if key of agree nearby and crimea, a state of emergency has been declared following explosions out of military munitions stockpile near the peninsula. northern city of john coy russia's defense ministry says it was an act of sabotage. a far as the facility sparked a massive explosion on tuesday morning injuring at least true people and other 3000 people had to be evacuated from nearby areas. the regional governor says civilian infrastructure was damaged, including residential buildings, a power plants and a railway. regina done this research according to the russian defense ministry. the cause of the incident in the junker district was sabotaged. i am continuing to work

at the scene where there was a fire and detonation of ammunition this morning. she me with more than 3000 people, were evacuated from the settlements of moscow and his offs coin. oh, 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 press luna shifter we woke up at 6 am after here in 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 wood chips 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 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. doesn't want to ask on our 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 . the event is hosted by russia's defense ministry as r t is 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's 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, 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. yet were genius weed 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 bass. thee pump it up and continue to pump up the key of regime with arms,

including heavy weapons. the situation in ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict g through shortly after potent speech we heard from russian defense minister, sergei. shai grew 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 and 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. from a military point of view, 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 a 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 had of the peninsula foundation, think tank and math. this warren says the world has been dominated by the western military industrial complex for far too long. looking at economics, you find that the world has been dominated, and much of the instruments of global governance are skewed towards western economic dominance across the world. if europe and union that they can ship quite independently. and if you isn't allowed the european union to look after it's a good security, they won't have been much of a problem. it's only when natal is now taking center stage to take care of the entire european and security. europe of western europe, security, particularly and european union has not actually little have they realize that they've actually become enslaved to were american lead or you or the european lead,

you know, american lead economic system. and then once you get sucked into with, than you are part of the overall military industrial complex as. ready the mommy called null and void. that's other declared runner up of kenya's presidential election, former prime minister raleigh or dingo, 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 east african nation. here are some of the aftermath ah

my knees announcement of rudolph victory prompted his supporters to hold celebrations around the country. but groups backing his rival oh, dingle set tires on fire in city streets and blockaded roads before police dispersed the crowds. o dinger has vowed to overturn the election results only through constitutional and other legal channels. which many view as a clear signal to supporters to stop engaging and violent protests. ryan, no danger, and that is to is to concede defeat. following the declaration of the resolved by the chairman of electra would be well for legible karate, who declared his opponent, dr. windham some way to do us the we know of the 2022 general election now, mr. dina, in his address at the kate i. c. c. today. he said that the i e. b. c. contravene the law by announcing the winner of the 2022 general elections along in his statement a tom, the i e. b. c. did not have the quorum scenes fall off the commissioners. distance

themselves from a verizon that was announced by the chairman or for lunch at mccarthy. before commissioners claimed that the i beseech him on or from actual cutty did not engaged him on to the final fonts of this election had. oh, thickness in neat. we today, colonel signed by the electoral result. however, members of the absolved blood drawn from the country and even the international body, the thom between defense to general elections as a free and fair. i know dingo has said that the resolves that will announce the declaration that was made by the chairman of fletcher cutty should be tom to none. envoys. yes. and he support us to remain calm as they had following on very on the required processes, of course, to now this is resolved, that shell 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, in the taiwan strait, tensions have been rising over. microchip production, as the us seems to be trying to boost its business ties with ty pay the world's biggest semiconductor producer even tried to push beijing out of its position as a global high tech market leader ortiz cale mop. and has more on 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, the peace and stability of the strait is critical to the stability of the global high tech product supply chain. brand glacier, 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 and other american delegation met with him. here's how it was reported in u. s. mainstream media, how to expand economic cooperation 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 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 u. s. 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 pass 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 is firmly opposed to their mentality and will firmly defend its own interest. critics say this is obviously us multinational, trying to beat down a competitor. and this comes as new reports show that china has overtaken the us when it comes to scientific research. now the race for semiconductors is on and the usa wants taiwan in their pocket. it's 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. 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 in the chip market, which taiwan dominates, and which they're trying to keep china from, from ascending in military implications, of course, because one of the reasons why the u. s. once the game ascendance in the chip market is to maintain its military privacy, this chip policy, this science a chip and science act is in the military app as well. so it escalates pensions militarily and it puts china in the position of having compete to try to compete with the us militarily. so it doesn't do anything for the relation. politically, this is a very, very unwise mo,

the us justice department has been pushing back against calls to release the details about why exactly f b i agents rated the florida residents of former president donald trump. the d o j has asked a judge not to allow the release of the f b i affidavit that underpin the last week. search of trumps mar logo residence. the document reportedly contains key details about trumps a legit miss handling of classified materials. the d o j has argued that publishing the affidavit could obstruct the investigation and potentially harm people involved . the united states isn't a banana republic. it is doing quite a convincing impression of one. however, the trouble is that it turns american democracy into re remorseless partisan tug of war in which the party in power just endlessly prosecutes the opposition and nobody ever substantially addresses the country's problems. for more work than across live

to political analysts. john jordan, why do you think the u. s. justice department is so adamantly against releasing the exact details is supposedly used to justify the rate of trumps home. i think it's because they're embarrassed to there's not much there. they're really resisting that. going back to 5 years, going back to the russian collusion hoax, the mueller fiasco impeachment one impeachment to and so forth. it's clear that the justice department or senior members of it are clearly opposed to president. trump will do anything to get them. they even admitted as much in tax and peter struck lisa page and men and andy cave and many others. if the justice department here really wanted not only to be impartial but they wanted the appearance of impartiality, and this really wasn't political, they would do what the truck justice department did with the russia expected to 16 is appointed special council. if ever there was a need for one,

this is it to avoid the appearance, impartiality. so we don't have one present best to getting another, and they would appoint a session, 2nd, independent counsel to handle hunter biden's legal troubles. but they don't want to do that because they want to keep, they want to keep control of this inside of the f b i and apartment justice, right? many agree with your republican say the rate was directly politically motivated. what do you think about that? well the time frame here, right, the f b i was in my lago, knew the documents, were there, they're in a facility, guarded by the secret service. they asked the trump people to put an extra lock in the door, and then they went away. according to what political, the wall street journal today, you had to turn in general garland say that he's deliberated on this for weeks, deciding whether or not to sign off on the warrant application. well, if this is still urgent, why, why wait weeks, why did you weren't, weren't on friday and service and do the search on monday. that clearly weren't in

a particular hurry for legal reasons, but they were in a hurry for political reasons because the department of justice has a policy that they won't do anything in a political politically sensitive case within 90 days of an election. and they knew that that was that 90 day mark was last monday. so they want to their splash. and now they're going to a crawl in on themselves and hopefully just the plural damage spills over and president trump and doesn't store on them. but it's backfiring badly, and on that no, what do you think are the chances of trump actually getting elected again as president in 2 years? well, who knows? i mean 2 years is a, you know, as an eternity and politics. what we do know for sure is that president trump is running ahead of biden in the head to head and match up in the real clear politics . average of polls. that's not me. that's in our c, b dot com. you see present raising a ton of money and you see now these largely cleared the field of other rivals for the nomination. so unless something else happens, unless there's a smoking gun,

it's hard to see how this has done anything of that and then help other than help president trump. we're seeing a lot of division. what can be the long term implications of this brutal confrontation between republicans and democrats, for the us political system as a whole? what's a great question, i mean, a blue republicans or democrats have been a political war with each other for since time immemorial. and that's kind of the nature of democracy in this country and, and largely has worked. but what hasn't worked is when impartial institutions, whether it's the media and most importantly, the department of justice they were seen or even the c d. c, the center for disease control were seen as a political, true arbiters of the true neutral players who just did what was right without interfering and in political wars. now we're seeing these supposedly non partisan institutions be dragged in the political fights and that's a very dangerous direction for our republic. well, do you think the u. s. is now too busy dealing with its own political divisions at

home to adequately deal with foreign policy issues such as growing tensions with china. and how could this crisis affect the countries perceived world dominance? well, by itself, no, this get country of the government is big enough to walk and chew gum at the same time. the problem is, is that the administration is as incompetent with foreign policy as they are with economics and domestic matters. so it's not just a good question of being divided. it's a question of through and through outright incompetence you look at was withdrawn from afghanistan. you look at the all manner of disasters ever since the administration hasn't done anything. right? in fact, if you look back in 1988 since joe biden 1st ran for president before he was forced out disgrace for plagiarizing a neal clinic speech president bite is in the wrong side of history. republican and democrat, every national security decision made by administrations of both parties ever since

. so the question here is one of incompetence rather than one of a preoccupation. so what is it about president donald trump, that democrats continue investigating him almost 2 years after he left office? did i think he's that dangerous to them? well, president trump is infected, doesn't many in some of the republican party to, with what's called a trump derangement syndrome. they are so focused on the man that they did forget about the rule of law is going back to almost liver, into barriers. show me the man and i'll show you the crime they're less interested in, you know, normally line for some of the way it always works and pretty much every country is . you have a set of laws. and if one is broken, you prosecute the criminal 2nd. you prosecute the crime here. they've identified the for the person and they're trying to find a crime to fit authentic will to everything that the rule of will law depends upon john jordan, political analysts. thank you, john. my pleasure. ah,

lawyers for imprison journalist julian assange have launched a lawsuit against the u. s. central intelligence agency and its former director mike pompeo, accusing the c. i of illegally recording their conversations and copying data from their devices, the recording of meetings with friends, with lawyers and the copying of his attorneys and friends. digital information changed 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 egregious. the attorneys, along with 2 journalists who have joined the sued argue as citizens, they say the c, i infringe on their constitutional rights to conduct private discussions with the san an australian journalist who faces us espionage charges. according to the lawsuit, the c i allegedly worked with a security firm, hired by the ecuadorian embassy in london,

were assigned to was living at the time to spy on the people who visited him. there . a sons' you founded the organization weekly, leaks, is being held in london's notorious fall march prison. he faces extradition to the u. s. where he is accused of violating the espionage act by publishing secret military and diplomatic files that expose u. s. war crimes in afghanistan and iraq. we heard from former c, i officer john care cow who says the lawsuit even if it fails, might affect the outcome of his on his case. is who 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 the fact that. busy 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 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 for the u. s. has been trying to pretend it isn't liable for the dads of afghans

during its chaotic withdrawal from the country one year go this month. that's according to afghan authorities investigating the deaths of civilians who were trying to evacuate from couples. airport r t 's, maria from ocean a shed. more light on the story here has passed since u. s. troops and they are western allies, fled from afghanistan. but there is still no justice for people who back then we're trying to escape from cobble airport in tears, panic and agony. hundreds of afghans who worked with american forces and wanted to leave immediately in fear of the taliban. revenge than managed to get on a plane. the picture provided by the u. s. military show there around 640 people on board. that plane is only meant to carry $100.00. 34 passengers. ah.

here as officials confirmed later, that human remains were found inside the landing gear of the c. 17 military plane used for the evacuation flight from of ganesh, 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 emperor, mainstream media is hiding the real facts. what we demanding is a fair investigation, but the major is telling 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 deadly incident?

no, never, no one. the staff judge advocate offices from both the air mobility command in the united state 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, the videos that went viral a year ago show afghans desperately trying to climb, born to the wings of the plane, all to flee the country. danger. and they very high risk of injuring themselves, didn't stop them. and in its turn, it didn't stop the us pilots from taking off the payroll with people are falling from planes and dying. it was shocking that the pilot 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're not guilty, then who is responsible. the united states is responsible, but washington doesn't seem to agree. and with this investigation, given no clear answers, it's hard to tell whether anyone will ever be held responsible for the tragedy and

will be bringing you more in afghanistan and how the lives of ordinary people have changed since the u. s. was role in our special coverage throughout this month. aah! thanks for watching. those were the hours top news stories from around the world for more be sure to follow us on facebook, instagram and twitter. and don't forget to check out our t dot com for the latest headlines stick around. we'll see you again next hour. ah ah.

with oh, i'm with

welcome to worlds apart. there is one thing in common between the russians and the americans. it is a deep seated believe that the passage of time reveals the moral truth from st. augustan to martin luther king from president obama to president putin and now president. right. and they all have a still seated themselves and that causes with the right side of history. but is the divide between good and evil. indeed, so stark and irreconcilable. well discuss it. i'm now joined by charles corruption senior fellow at the council of foreign relations and professor of international affairs at georgetown university professor captain. it's a very rare treat for me these days to speak to western and experts for form. officials like yourself. i'm very, very grateful for this opportunity, but i also.
