7 am here at our international studios in moscow. good morning from wherever you're watching us from welcome. i'm fiorella isabel with this hours most pressing stories worldwide. happy to have you with us. you korean troops, i've shelled a nuclear waste storage facility at the embattled zap roget nuclear power plant nearly destroying a radioactive container. meanwhile, western media continue to blame russia for the damage and claim that moscow was trying to steal energy from the plant destined for ukraine. russia has dismissed those accusations as groundless. russia is now being accused of stealing ukrainian energy supplies. the capabilities of 3rd party analysts, hired by western propagandists are 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
12:02 am
those power supplies at the currently storing market prices by destroying energy infrastructure. the key of 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 shelling has sparked fears of a tragedy. worse than for noble russian forces took over the facility and march as they swept through ukraine's east at the start of their military campaign. moscow has recently spoken with the un secretary general about the risk of was continued fighting in the area and has invited specialist from the international atomic energy agency to inspect the plant, the you and has said it would be ready to facilitate such a visit, but only if the specialists enter from the ukrainian side of the front line and if he of agrees former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter says the shelling is an extremely dangerous attempt to force russia to abandon the plant. this is
12:03 am
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 the case of the international community going out of control. the goal 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 nuclear power plant. the amazing thing is that throughout russia's control of the separation power plan, of 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. 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 in collaboration with kids as opposed to see back and observing irresponsible behavior on the part of kids. they're playing with fire. this is,
12:04 am
this is a very frightening, scary and irresponsible action on the part of kids in their western supporters and nearby in crimea, a state of emergency has been declared following explosions at a military mission stockpile near the peninsula, northern city of john boy, 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. authority 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 look at our slowness, just 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, placer fell down. every one ran to the basement. in our yard would cheats were
12:05 am
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 we children, the very scared, a shell, flew into the neighbor's yard and into the house. it did the dead and made, and it just lay there. another explosion completely demolished the wall near the house of our neighbors or to them. 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. does it? what's up to moscow? our dozens of top military officials from some of the world's most powerful countries have been sitting down for talks to mo, over geopolitical concerns and priorities. the event is hosted by russia's defense ministry as our team. donald corridor reports. well, this year's moscow conference on international security kicked off with
12:06 am
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 yet will give you this week in order to maintain their
12:07 am
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. 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 g. shortly after put and speech we heard from russian defense minister sergei shy, 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 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,
12:08 am
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 head of the peninsula foundation. think tank m math as 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
12:09 am
economic dominance across the world. if europe in union and they can ship quite independently. and if you allow the european union to look after it again, security, there wouldn't have been much of a problem. it's only when it is now taking center stage to take care of the entire european and security of western europe. security particularly, and european union has now actually little have they realize that they've actually become enslaved the american lead or the european lead, you know, american lead economic system. and then once you get sucked into it 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 kenya's presidential election. former prime minister raleigh edina has described the vote st. he'll launch a legal battle against the narrow victory for the current deputy president william rudo. the political terminal has parked riots throughout the east african nation
12:10 am
here, some of the aftermath. ah, monday's announcement of rudo victory prompted his supporters to hold celebrations around the country. but groups backing his rival? oh, dingo sat tires on fire in city streets and blockaded roads before police dispersed the crowds. o, dina has vowed to overturn the election results only through constitutional and other legal channels, which many view as a clear signal to his supporters to stop engaging and violent protests. ryan loading her hands at his tooth to concede defeat,
12:11 am
to following the declaration of the resolved by the chairman of electron brody, or for the actual party who declared his opponent dr. wyndham, some way to to ask the winner of the 2022 general elections. now mr. dinger in his address at the k icy 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 for all the commissioners. distance themselves from a verizon that was announced by the chairman or for lunch at mccarty. before commissioners claimed that the i beseech him on or from actual cutty did not engaged him under the final thoughts of this election. had oh thickness in neat we today cannot decide to buy the electrodes. result, however, members of the obscene blood drawn from the country and even the international body
12:12 am
. 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 got the should be tom to non envoys. yes. and he support us to remain calm as they had for doing on getting on the required processes. of course, to now this is resolved, that shall probably form the $280.00 election to re election over this process. or to get to know who is that right full? 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 of that misty which goes back to the british pine canyon. the 18th,
12:13 am
19 hundreds for the last election took place in 2017. the courts do believe that the election to 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 re election. 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, this huge going on in the course of the present, the lecture. and we didn't see any violence prior to the election. and the question is, if things can come, it's important for africa have stable piece for elections. and meanwhile, on the taiwan strait tensions have been rising over micro chip production,
12:14 am
as the us seems to be trying to boost its business size with type a, the world's biggest, that may conduct a producer even trying to push beijing out of its position as a global high tech market leader ortiz kellum up in has the story. the endo pacific region is finally starting to simmer down in the aftermath of the heated tensions caused by nancy pelosi 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 lation microchips that taiwan 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,
12:15 am
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 this and the 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.
12:16 am
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 is firmly opposed to the 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 and 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
12:17 am
that the us will gain ascendancy in the chip market, which taiwan dominates. and we're trying to keep kinda 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, is a military 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 despite the worst is pressure on new delhi to refrain from buying russian oil. india's top diplomat has emphasized that it's only
12:18 am
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. india is the world's 3rd largest oil consumer. it's imports of discounted russian supplies surgery record high in june, accounting for almost a 5th of india's total in parts of the commodity that has sparked criticism from washington with u. s. officials pressuring new delhi to curtail its purchases from russia. the west has continued to try to maintain its grip on india even 75 years since the end of british colonial rule. this week has marked the anniversary of india's independence, with vast celebrations, taking place across a south asian country residence in the south. the southern city of hooley carried a 9 kilometer flag through the streets. r t is ruined june sharma takes
12:19 am
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 brit stole trillions of dollars from india, by the way of its resources between 17651947. but what's important to know to is that they did a largely through india extensive re, re network. for decades, the frequently federal narrative with armed colonial rule has been that it wasn't all take by the brits that they gave and out so much democracy. the english language that they built in him really, the 4th trucks were lead by the brit in 18. 53 that soon before a really has came 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 brits railways and roads were really built to serve
12:20 am
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. well, let's take a look here for these rewards that indians. the british shareholders put in money and the government to 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 exports was the most convenient by 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 tons. 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 country,
12:21 am
it's resources that they looted the railroads. 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 bingo was in the 4th place. one of the reasons for the famine, bad drainage system, ned 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 bridge 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 alive for a full year. and now when the local population started getting good at repairing
12:22 am
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 was the story of the great indian robbery. my using the great and you really, my great duty the us justice department has been pushing back against paul to release the details about why exactly f b i. agents rated the florida residence of former president donald trump. the dear j has asked the judge not to allow the release of the api 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 the 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,
12:23 am
the trouble is that it turns american democracy into re remorseless, partisan tug of war and which the party in power just endlessly prosecutes, the opposition, and nobody ever substantially addresses the country's problems. political analysts, john jordan says that washington establishment has been desperately trying to remove trump from the political scene, but they seem to be only raising his chances for reelection. well, the foot just look at the time frame here, right? the f b i was in 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 to have attorney general garland said that he's deliberated on this for weeks, deciding whether or not to sign off on the warrant application. they 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 splitter. case sensitive case within 90 days of an election. and they
12:24 am
knew that that was that 90 day mark was last monday. so they want to make their splash. and now they're going to crawl in on themselves and hopefully just a little damaged goes over and president trump and doesn't store on them. but it's backfiring badly, so unless something else happens, unless there's a smoking gun, it's hard to see how this has done anything other than help president trump global coal consumption could reach a decade high as the u scrambles for new sources of energy. while the repercussions of its sanctions against russia continue to bite, the block is now turning to south africa to fulfill its energy needs despite being among those that pledge $8500000000.00 to be carbonized. the country's economy in 2021, south africa is call exports to europe have increased a staggering 720 percent on la, here with the fossil fuel becoming a sol affordable option. in most of the e. u. germany in particular,
12:25 am
expected to burn 100000 tons of coal per month. it's winter. meanwhile, the eas grand plans for green energy appear even further out of reach. that's after western democracies launched a so called ground breaking international energy transition partnership with south africa. the british prime minister stressing that last year that cooperation with pretoria will create a president of transition to clean energy while u. s. 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. meanwhile, the return, no possible field continues to fuel animosity with clashes, breaking out between equal activists in police. in the german city of hamburg, as the weekend officers resorted to baton and pepper sprang,

protesters demands for green energy, threatened to boil out of control some express deep this pace over the country, the import of african resources labeling. the move modern colonialism, we heard from independent energy analysts have blog, who says the e u is putting pressure on countries to di, carbonized, while purchasing increasingly more coal from those very same areas. to probably 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 richard ratio, even though it might be out of necessity, even specifically germany. i think i have made mess of and put a massive amount of pressure on the rest of the world to d, carbonized into move towards wind and solar energy production. but it's exactly that type of sources that 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 cheap power. but 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 australia its 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. start. 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 rules which had already chiefs in place. meanwhile, morrison has tried to justify his moves. as coven 19 pandemic safeguarding measures the countries the governor general has confirmed. he supported morrison's appointments. morrison has stressed that he never sought to act in
12:28 am
a co minister capacity in the rules. despite using the additional authority in 2021 to cancel approval of an offshore gas project against the wish of then resources minister, a move, morrison says was a national interest decision. team. anderson, the director of sydney based center for counter had demonic studies. claims the cancellation was engineered to help the election chances of members of morrison's liberal party. but his app clause is not that he said things are very difficult. we were facing a crisis and i did things, but he did think secretly, which is not by convention, and it's upset his colleagues as well as his opponents. in fact, during the kobe crisis, morrison himself came under love of criticism for not doing very much at all for not taking a lead in the measures there. 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 koby. and that is to say,
12:29 am
morrison was not strong leadership or my cobit issue when it comes to the resources should be the refusal to his rejection of the approval of a gas project against the wishes. all the then minister, that's something that really had nothing to do with be the cobit situation. they took advantage of the a gas project which she has national party resources administer 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 abuse wealth as it happened. that didn't help them anyway. but it's being openly spoken that this was a positive move to try and help the electro chances are members of his own party. thanks for taking into the broadcast. those were the hours most pressing, new stories worldwide. for more our team use head over to r t dot com and say up to date by following last on gab, odyssey, twitter, and all our social cnx, our mm,
