oh, i a moscow says keith is raising the risk of a nuclear disaster worse internal as ukrainian force a shelley radioactive waste facility at the embattled oper, roshay power, plant, arson, violence, and riots. penny a face of political deadlock as the defeated presidential candidate refuses to concede. and of money 1st as tension swore between washington and beijing over taiwan. it seems the actual purpose of the provocative us visits to the island was to expand. microchip production with

hello from r t international studios in moscow. welcome to this ours top news stories from around the world. i'm fearless about pleasure. have you join us from wherever you may be watching ukrainian troops. i've shelled a nuclear waste shortage facility in the embattled approach. a nuclear power plant, nearly destroying a radioactive container that's according to the head of the local government. meanwhile, western media continues to blame russia for the damage and claims that moscow is trying to steal energy from the plant destined for ukraine. russia strongly denies that and has struck the danger of the situation. russia is now being accused of stealing ukrainian energy supplies. the capabilities of 3rd party analysts, hired by western propagandists is bordering on the absurd one so called specialist is a former employee of the u. s. embassy in chia who claims russia is seeking to seize electricity from this approach. nuclear plant cut off ukrainian consumers and sell

those power supplies at the currently storing market prices by destroying energy infrastructure. the chief regime is putting millions of people in europe in danger of a nuclear disaster, with washington turning a blind eye. the power plant is the largest in europe, and the shelley has sparked fears of a tragedy. worse than chernobyl. russian forces took over the facility in march as they swept through ukraine, the east, at the start of their military campaign. moscow has recently spoken with the un secretary general about the risks of the continued fighting in the area and has invited specialists from the international atomic energy agency to inspect the plant, the you and has said it would be ready to facilitate a visit. but only if it enters from the ukrainian side of the front line. and if key of agrees we're going live now to scott ritter, former us marine corps intelligence officer. why isn't the west pressuring ukraine to stop shelling the nuclear power plant? what's your take on that?

well, we know, for instance, the shilling began and august 5th, and we know that on august 1st, us secretary state entity, blink and a began raising the issue of the separation nuclear power plant. with it, with an eye on getting some sort of international representation to create a demilitarized zone. so this is a coordinated policy and that makes it even more frightening because this isn't just the case of ukrainian government going out of control. this is a case of the international community going out of control. the goal and objective here is to accomplish through nuclear blackmail that which ukrainian army is unable to accomplish on its own. that is to remove russia from the separation of nuclear power plant. it's a very dangerous situation, and it's one that is going to be very difficult to, you know, to conclude if,

as it appears the west is, you know, work working collaboration with kiev as opposed to c back in observing, irresponsible behavior on the part of kit. so is this the issue then of a victory at any cost? then do you think you have forces are ignoring an actual nuclear disaster at that point? this literally is victory at any cost. i mean, we're seeing what we're seeing here is an act of desperation on the part of both the authorities and their western allies in i can't even begin to get into the mind of somebody who thinks it would be a good idea to launch an artillery attack against a nuclear power plant, i know that the facility is hardened, and that the nuclear reactors themselves can probably take a direct hit from an artillery show. but that's not the case. that's not the

problem. the problem isn't puncturing the reactor core. the problem is cutting off powered to the, to the reactor, damaging the emergency backup power supplies, damaging the going system, things of that nature that could lead to the kind of, you know, and controlled reactor activity that precipitated the chair noble disaster this, this could be replicated in separation if they're playing with fire, this is, this is a very frightening, scary and irresponsible action on the part of kids in their western supporters. so now the wall street journal has accused russia of stealing electricity from the nuclear plant. what do you think about these claims that the west is pushing? i mean, it's theoretically possible. you know, russia controls the plant. it would require significant alteration of your

power lines in reconfiguration of power grids. but there's no evidence that this is what russia is. in fact, doing, i mean, the amazing thing is that throughout russia's control of this apparition, the power plant, the reactors that have been in operation, i think right now only 2 of the 6 remain in operation. have been providing power to ukraine. ok. and so, you know, this is a, this is a theory, but it's sustained by actual fact. and again, it doesn't matter at the end of the day, if this is indeed what russia is doing. and again, i re emphasize there's no evidence that this is what's happening. this does not justify plane, you know, nuclear roulette with, with the entire world, a nuclear disaster, zachary's you would, you have devastating consequences for the region and for the world. and, you know,

the alleged theft of, of electrical power in no way could justify that. so the you and now says it's ready to help international inspectors reach the plant, but only through the key of control territory. and then across the front lines, rushes, then questioning the safety of that route. do you think those concerns will be address? look at the end of the day, i believe russia will do it and i'm not here to speak on behalf of the russian government. but your russia is the responsible party here, they're the mature you're the mature people in the room and russia will do that, which is necessary to bring this crisis to a safe and satisfactory in your rush as a point that you're trying to transit through ukraine, a nation that is suffering a significant military reversals is a dangerous proposition to far safer would be through russian territory. but again,

this is about politics right now. this is about ukraine trying to assert some sort of sovereign control over the separation of nuclear power plant. when the reality is they lost that control that can march when rush occupied. and just quickly, do you think that international inspectors will actually go to the plant anytime soon? i don't believe that either ukraine or the west wants them to because if they go to the plant, they will find out facts that are going to be difficult to refute. for instance, who's attacking the plant, what's being attacked, and what are the dangers of this are? so i think ukraine in the united states will, in the west, will continue to drag their feet on this. russia said they're willing to have the inspector come in today. so we'll, we'll see what we're, scott ryder farmer,

you're hiring quarantine and officer. thank you. that, that you, ah, you're buying crimea. a state of emergency has been declared following explosions at a military mission stockpile. here the peninsula is northern city of junk, like russian defense ministry says it was an act of sabotage. a fire at the facility sparked a massive explosion on tuesday morning and during at least 2 people, authorities say civilian infrastructure was damaged, including residential buildings, a power plant, and a railway. around $3000.00 people had to be evacuated from nearby areas we heard from. some of them will put us, luna shirts, withdraw. we woke up at 6 am after here in an explosion. then the blasts came more frequently in the bathroom as trunk blast wave covered as we lay down in the bathroom with a child placed her fell down. every one ran to the basement. you know, a yard would sheeps were flying everywhere,

but some kind of detonators from shells or something like that were lying around. they was such powerful explosions that it was really scary. and with children, the very scared a shelf flew into the neighbor's yard and into the house. it did the dead and laid, and it just lay there. another explosion completely demolished the wall near the house of our neighbors room. in the morning the showing 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. was it to moscow on our dozens of top military officials, from some of the world's most powerful countries have been sitting down for top, some all over geopolitical concerns and priorities. the event is hosted by russia's defense ministry as r t is donald porter 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, 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 it's a gemini 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 jealousy, 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. they turned a blind eye to the spread of new nazi ideology to the massacres. of people and on bass, they pumped 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. certainly 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. 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 m matters, war and 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 local governance are skewed towards western economic dominance across the world. if

europe in union and they can ship quite independently. and if you isn't allowed the european union to look after it, so k security, they wouldn't have been much of a problem. it's only when natal is now taking center stage to take care of the entire european insecurity. europe of western europe, security, particularly, and european union has now actually little have they realize that they've actually become enslaved to were american lead. oh, you are the european lead euro american lead economic system. and then once you get sucked into ways than you are part of the overall military, industrial complex as well as the economic order null and void that saw the declared runner up in kenny as presidential election, former prime minister raleigh. i would think a has a scribe, 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 some of the aftermath. ah, monday's announcement of router's victory prompted his supporters to hold celebrations around the country, but groups backing his rival dingo set tires on fire in city streets and blockaded roads before police dispersed the crowds. oh, dinger has vowed to overturn the election results only through constitutional and other legal channels, which many of you as a clear signal to supporters to stop engaging and violent protests. ryan loading her hands. it is tuesday to concede defeat, following the declaration of the resolved by the chairman of electron brody,

or for electrical party who declared his opponent dr. william some way to ask the winner of the 2022 general elections. now mister deena, in his address at the k i c. c. today. he said that the i e b. c. contravene they know by announcing the winner on the 2022 general elections alone in his statement . a tom, the i e. b. c. did not have the quorum sins for the commissioners. distance themselves from a verizon that was announced by the chairman or full actual county before commissioners claimed that the i v. c. chairman or from actual county did not engaged him on to the final fonts of this election. had a picnic in neat, we to day cornel, decide to buy the electrodes resolved. however, members of the absolved blood drawn from the country and even the international body. they tom between defended to general elections as

a free and fair. i know dingo has said that the results that will 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 had following on that he, on the required process. of course, to now this is resolved, that shall probably form the $280.00 election the re election of this process. or to get to know who is that right for? are we not of the 2022 presidential elections? african affairs analyst, lawrence freeman, says kenya will overcome its current political crisis as the country has already faced. similar situations in the past is a long history. you can, you have conflicts and elections and the question that's miss city, which goes back to the british, occupying canyon, the 1819 hundreds. but the last election took place in 2017. the courts

do believe that the election took place in august was invalid. and then there was a, another election that took place in october of 2017. and i believe being tardy refused to participate in an election. so that led to the reelection. who can yeah, so that's a good sign. that is the ability of the court system to act. however, there seems to be a lot of internal, huge going on in the courses present the election. and we didn't see any violence prior to the election. and the question is, if things can come, it's important for africa to have stable piece for elections. meanwhile, in the taiwan strait, tensions have been rising over micro chip production. as the u. s. seems to be trying to boost its business ties with high pay the world's biggest semi conductor

producer, even trying to push beijing out of a position as a global high tech market leader ortiz. caleb martin 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. for an glacier microchips, that's taiwanda specialty. the island produces 65 percent of the world. semiconductors and 90 percent of the world's advance ships, 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 and 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 is past 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 term 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 the mentality and will firmly defend its own interests. critics say this is obviously us multi nationals 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 kinda from, from ascending in military implications. of course, because one of the reasons why the u. s. wants to gain ascendance in the chip market is to maintain its military privacy. this chip policy, this science a chip and science act is, is a military app as well. so it escalates pensions mil, apparently, 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 move despite the was this pressure on new delhi to refrain from buying russian oil. indian top diplomat has emphasized that it's only natural for his country to want the most economically sensible deal. i have

a country with a per capita income of $2000.00. these are not people who can afford higher energy prices. it's my moral duty to ensure the best deal. andy as the world's 3rd largest oil consumer, it's imports of discounted russian supplies search to a record high. in june, a court accounting for almost a 5th of india's total imports of the commodity that has sparked criticism from washington with u. s. officials pressuring new delhi to curtail its purchases from russia. this week has marked the 75th anniversary of india's independence from britain, with vast celebrations taking place across a south asian country residence in the southern city of hooley, carried a 9 kilometer flag through the streets. the nation achieved its independence from british colonial rule. on august 15th 1947 r t is run. june sharma takes a look at the often controversial legacy that the british empire left behind in

something that should come as a surprise to no one. the rich story, trillions of dollars from india, by the way of its resources, between $1765.94. but what's important to know to is that they did it largely through india, extensive re re network. for decades, the frequently federal narrative with armed colonial rule will have been that it wasn't all take by the brits. they begin, they are so much democracy. the english language that they built, the in really the 4th trucks were lead by the bridge in 1853 that soon before a really a scheme to india, most of the transportation was done either toward or by water. that's true again. but what's also true is that really it was no gift for indians, and that it was all for the britain. railways and roads were really built to serve british interests. and not those are the local people. they were designed to carry in raw materials from being turned into the ports to be shipped to britain. let's

take a look all paid for these rewards that indians. the british here hold off putting money and the government be then in double paid for by indian taxes. india is resource rich gold, iron, or cotton and the east india company realized the transporting all this for the export with the most convenient buy real. and it meant in seen profits for the company they use did really to steal. how much do you off a very serious economic study which tried to estimate how much the british took out of india and value tubs. and a very calculated map ended up put a number of $45.00 trillion dollars at today's monday. so that should give you a sense of really what happened in those 200 years. it wasn't just the countries reinforces that. they looted the real rewards. also worse than the life of local people. take one of the most tragic events in the indian history,

the bingo of famine. the construction of the real reason in bangor was in the 4th place. one of the reasons for the famine bad drainage system lead to diseases. you think it was the perfect opportunity to put the real, to some good use, get the green where it was needed when millions was starving. but the brits did the opposite. they put rise on trains and got them out of india. the bengal famine was a result of food scarcity caused by large scale exports of food from india for use in the war theaters and consumption in britain. india exported more than 70000 tons of rice between january and july 1943 even as the famine set in this would have kept nearly 400000 people ally for a full year. and now when the local population started getting good at repairing and manufacturing trains themselves, when the brits couldn't let them get away with it and they forced india to buy

engines and baggins made in britain. i'm. this is the story of the great indian robbery. my using the great and you really my great duty australia's former prime minister is in hot water after revelations that he granted himself additional powers by secretly appointing himself head of 5 other government ministries during his time in office. scott morrison has been accused of trashing democracy by the new government, which is now demanding. he resigned from parliament. after it was revealed, he made himself minister of health finance, home affairs, treasury and industry roles which had already had chiefs in place. meanwhile, morrison has tried to justify his moves. as coven 19 pandemic safeguarding measures . the country's governor general has confirmed. he supported morrison's appointments. morrison has stressed that he never sought to act in

a co minister capacity in the roles, despite using the additional authority in 2021 to cancel approval of an offshore gas project against the wishes of then resource ministers. a move, morrison says was a national interest decision. tim anderson, the director of sidney based center for counter hedge, a monic studies claims the cancellation was engineered to help the election chances of members of morrison's liberal party. that's his clothes is not that he said things were very difficult. we were facing a crisis and i did things, but he did think secretly which is not the convention and it's upset his colleagues as well as his opponents. in fact, during the kobe crisis, marson himself came under love criticism for not doing very much at all for not taking a lead in the measures that what it meant was that the states within the federation of australia were the ones that took most of the practical measures in relation to coby, that is to say, marson was not showing leadership on the carbon issue. when it comes to the

resource issue. the refusal to his rejection of the approval of a gas project against the wishes of the then minister. that's something that really had nothing to do with the current situation. it took advantage of the gas project, which is a national party resources minister wanted to approve. he rejected it so in the hope that it would help the electoral chances of several of his liberal party candidates on the central coast to do something else as it happened. it didn't help them anyway, but it's been openly spoken that this was a partisan to try and help the electro chances of members of his own party. that's right for the hour's top stories up next. piecing together the events from the my down in 2014, including the shelling in the us of civilians in the back. in my don road to war only on our team, stay close will be back at the top. the hour with

with industry to restore can just look up from when levels only a muscle is on. you knew she doesn't beating train show on a nurse to me as close to mama cook girl scholarship critic, somebody to look at that. i put his ashley of a dc. wanted to work with one to 3. if this is sort of cool position with you, but now it's not looking for the chino drawings to network for furnished or something like that. and that week are at that point, then that might be worth a 1000000 with them.
