9:03 pm
ukrainian army with internationally band weapons. this is a german made anti tank mine and inside it has a magnetic sense. um, so this mine it knows when a heavily armored vehicle with a lot of metal inside drives even close by. he doesn't even have to directly hit a mine for it to go off. when it senses the presence of an armored vehicle. so right now it has been disarmed, of course, and as i've talked to the sap as they take off anything metal, all the armor before working with this mind because it can go off just by sensing an armored vest again. such munitions are not legal to use under the international law. it is so sensitive it could be triggered even by the minesweeper when it's hovered over. that's what makes it a frowned upon choice of munitions. according to the defense ministry of russia, the national guard sap has discovered it on the outskirts of our tour mosque. the cities arguably the biggest hot spot in the don bass right now. with russian
9:04 pm
infantry already fighting within the city limits, special forces of the national guard are providing cover to these guys operate by the one shot, one kill rule. and they're not wasting any bullets on ordinary targets. machines are better screening. our mission is to deploy currently and hit the most important targets. the key it says wasn't good in tifton, laqueena, goering, unit commanders, machine gunners, snipers and others in areas more remote from the front lines rushes national guard has its hands full to diversions. squads remain active behind the lines and daunted down. yes, those are slim control. here we run a check point for civilian cars, prevent sabotage and reconnaissance groups from infiltrating into the area of responsibility and check whether civilians are carrying any prohibited materials
9:05 pm
group. it's mostly people returning home after 8 years of absence. they want to see what happened to their homes. well, if any belongings or documents still remain, they take them away with them with permission from the military police. oh, i'm a good dawn of reporting from the don boss, or t. ukraine should re take her, i mia and use western weapons to do so. that's according to german and swedish leaders who made their views public while the aggressive stands has been backed up by some western political scientists, with one being particularly hawkish. the courage, bridge known in russia as the crimea bridge is the longest structure of its kind in europe and is used by civilian tourists and for the transportation of everyday goods. it was opened in 2018, 3 years after a referendum in which crimea is voted to join russia. despite being
9:06 pm
a lifeline for civilians, ukrainian officials have publicly called for the bridge to be destroyed. such statements come after last week's powerful explosions at military science with the russian defense ministry calling the blas acts of sabotage. while caleb has not formerly admitted involvement, geopolitical analysts and former us marine john mark doogan believes ukraine does not have the sophistication to attack the bridge alone. i think they would do it in a minute if they could. and a, you know, they don't really care about who would happen to be on or under that bridge at the moment whether it be civilians or even refugees coming out of crimea. they don't care. and i think they'll hit any targeted to the they can, i don't think america would say, go ahead and use your missiles to strike schools in donnette, but that's what they are doing. so obviously there's some degree of freedom there.
9:07 pm
however, ukraine doesn't have the sophistication to use these long range weapons to strike some of the targets that they've been striking. meaning that there has been heavy coordination with the united states government and using them ah, in our special coverage. we continue looking at the developments in afghanistan since the last american soldier left it soil one year ago. this month. that's along with the suffering hardship and failure experienced by afghan people. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history.
9:08 pm
on the one year anniversary of the takeover of afghanistan by the taliban, the biden administration has dismissed plans to release billions of dollars of of can funds held in the us any time soon. citing fears at the money could end up in the hands of terrorists. the statement comes over 2 weeks after an american drone attack killed a long time. okay, to boss in kabul. we heard from locals who have face chronic cash shortages in the 12 months since america's devastating withdrawal. ah, by sorry, off on a sunday after the us froze, our money people moved under the poverty line. when the banks have given us,
9:09 pm
they have no solution. the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos and then they froze our money up. they did this intentionally to push us into serious trouble and then take advantage from that in the future. it of europe, in my opinion, the us should not miss st. afghanis. why the pull people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflicts, hardship, and suffered poverty anonymous as in what else we have demanded at washington, implement the agreements reaching doha. we have not violated any of the points in the agreement so far. but we ask others to fulfill darrell obligations as well. ah,
9:10 pm
leonard, who knows us sanctions have destroyed afghans. holmes, what made children suffer from famine and literally took the clothes from their backs. only a rare person here can say that they can make clothes for their children and not mentioned the high prices of flower, oil, sugar, and food after mother taught him. why? if we talk about the sanctions america and poses on our poor and innocent people, they just want to kill people. mm. i'm on the lead a minima and we want to be seen as ordinary people were not wizards, where people like them whole. these countries have reached their present level in 30 or 50 years, and they want us to achieve it in one year, even though the condition of the country in which we got it is not good.
9:11 pm
with this issue, definitely injection of cash into the economy and injection of national resources into the army of the company will cause a positive a outcomes because they do some ration of an economic activity will be very important or the county to recover and to, to create the condition that people can see themselves. there is another crock, emerging in european unity as warsaw has accused berlin of running the
9:12 pm
e. u. as an oligarchy. here's our t contributor rachel marston. what the details? well, as germany's economy, which is heavily dependent on cheap russian gas get set to bear the brunt of the european union's anti russian sanctions, the top beneficiaries, within the block of germany's financial largest are kicking berlin wallets down for some strange reason. polish officials keep banging on about what they say, our secret plans being cooked up by russia and germany against poland. christoph soleski, the secretary general of the ruling party, told polish state radio that poland, quote, does not fit into german russian plans to rule europe. talk about buying the hand that feeds you, not sure where he's been the past few decades when germany has already been ruling europe in a sense, at least economically and politically. and it's arguable whether poland would even exist at this point without germany's financial support through the block. the head of the polish central bank, adam glass pinsky, has another russian,
9:13 pm
german collusion theory. berlin strategic goal is to, in some form, regain their former lands, which are now within polish borders, and to subjugate the entire belts of countries between germany and russia. where this weird rhetoric coming from and why are they just being fulfill about it now? was taking germany's cash through the you part of the sir version plot as well and is worse, are going to continue to stuff it's pockets with you cash from germany or will it be refusing it on principle or you know, handing it back at this week's nordic summit german chancellor, all of schoultz rejected calls by finland, estonia lakia in lithuania, for an e. u wide ban on russian tourists now is stoney, is already doing so with that, with the tacit blessing of the you. but when schultz opposed the move at the you level, it wasn't long before critics were suddenly treating germany like it was the pariah of the block rather than it's perennial golden boy. germany and shoals have become
9:14 pm
a clear danger to you, unity, i am not sure what can be done. it will be a choice between this german government and europe, letting berlin dictate the pace of our support for ukraine. as a terrible mistake, olaf shoals will not support you wide tourist visas ban to russians. this is why we eastern and central europeans don't trust shoals, germany and france have to pay the bills for the entire block constantly. the entire e u depends on them. so it's not exactly surprising that they would be sobering up, faster than other e u, members to the dire economic reality of the ideologically driven sanctions. france is also facing pressure from polish prime minister, mateus moral wiki. on paper, all member states are equal, but the political reality shows that the weight of the german and french voices is dominant. we are dealing with a formal democracy, but a defacto oligarchy, where the power is held by those who are the strongest. pretty tough words there.
9:15 pm
it sounds like he's bracing for france to come to its senses over the ukraine conflict before the country is stuck. having to introduce rolling blackouts this winter like neighbors, switzerland has already proposed. these pressure tactics are like kids taking cash from their parents while threatening to tell all their neighbors how badly they're being treated at home. in case russian president vladimir putin hasn't noticed and keep hoping that he does the e is clearly united. just one big dysfunctional family ah, security support for gas exports. that's the latest planned by e. u. leaders who now turn their eyes to mozambique to try and replace russian gas . mozambique has the 3rd largest gas reserves in africa, and is now set to receive millions of dollars in aid from the block. according to an internal e u document, and aimed to strengthen the security of billions of dollars worth of western gas projects in the country. such projects for threatened last year when violence by
9:16 pm
islamic extremists threatened the gas rich nor their most province of capital delgado. however, previous, please for military support from the you appear to have fallen on deaf ears. the combat involves high cost for our partners. they will not continue for a long time forever and operations can be affected if there is no support. the european union is aware the e plan, however, is yet to receive any backing if approved support will be limited to no legal equipment. despite mozambique request for a more serious commitment, in the meantime, western companies say they are ready to begin exports to the you in the near future . african security analysts will car d as stresses that support from the west never comes free. right now, do you have a block, give that money to do one, to reduce the rest of the russian. gus,
9:17 pm
i guess in europe and maybe in the future to use them was then we can guess to supply all the necessary things in. you wasn't being real, pay off this support after some years. so because a re support right now, we will see you big moving forward with most of the not the most that we can do african for too much. this is not for the, for the gust running, you know, this is not going to get a control. the all african countries cementing as new colonies in africa, 50 holocaust, some palestinians. the claim by the palestinian president has outrage, politicians, and israel and germany. thinking about to say is,
9:18 pm
if we want to take further into the past, if we find that 50 massacres have been perpetrated by israel, 50 massacres or 50 holocaust towards you to document it at present, people are being killed daily by the israel. ya, me, i'm deeply outraged by the unspeakable statements by the palestinian president for aust, germans in particular and a relative organization of the holy ghost is intolerable and unacceptable. the remarks came as mahmoud abbas visited berlin with germany's chancellor slammed by television for not immediately responding. israel's prime minister, yar lobbied called the comments, a disgrace to my colleague, nicky are and discuss the issue with the frames are off the director of eastern european affairs at israel's simon a wasn't all center and brom hank hain anchored. hum, the board member of africa for palestine human rights organization. i think it's
9:19 pm
absolutely acceptable for palestinians to use all sorts of examples that are needed for the world to get them to, to give them the attention they deserve. the life of one person is the life of one person and thousands and thousands of philistines of being killed in this very moment. what, what kind of thousands of dollars things are being killed today? that shift fiction. that's a lie. and of course, the past day is a very good lying, same way that they use force imagery, talking about the worst case of genocide and human history. later, as we know, president bass walked back on his own controversial statement saying that his remarks were not meant to deny the holocaust. what do you make of the follow up to get to them? you view them as an independent decision or do you think it was a response to the outrage? he got from germany and israel i, i think him reversing, just indicates how and revoltingly unjust and unequal society is
9:20 pm
your noisy speak. on the other side, them from germany or israel was somewhere is, is advocate in that the life of the seniors don't matter. is ready media playing rock. it's fired by the palestinian islamic jihad group killed, more civilians in gauze or itself, than the israeli here, as strikes dead in the recent flare up. what's your reaction to those reports? letting those reports of propaganda have already been disproven by nearly credible goods. think that it's very important for the world to understand that piece and the abuse of palestinian people under oppression is not the ideal scenario. i think the palestinians have a right to resist the islamic jihad and come us openly speak of destroying the state of israel. so whatever it throws, whatever piece has been achieved in the meantime is unlikely to hold. the problem
9:21 pm
is that no one holds the palestinians to any accounting, the moral values that the western world believes in, not being observed by the palestinians. but no one holds them accountable and they have again and again refused to make fish. again, again, refuse the office to have a palestinian state, and israel has very, very few deaths. and it's very, very clear that one countries of pressing and destroying another the world is really guilty of repub, chrissy by supporting ukraine and failing every nation has the right to self determination. but not scotland. that's what the 2 remaining candidates for british prime minister stressed as they vied to secure both on tuesday. if i am elected as prime minister, i will not allow another. i just don't think that anybody thinks that now or any
9:22 pm
time in the near future is remotely, the told him to focus on this. and that's not something on pro folks on that. i'm focused on defending muted. i'm focused on demonstrating the benefit of the union to people in scotland. the foreign secretary and former chancellor appear to be united and ruling out a new scottish independence referendum with front runner list trust. stressing that a vote would not be granted within the next decade, calling a previous pull in 2014, a once in a generation opportunity. she also compared the nations of the united kingdom to a family that she claims she would keep together. but when it comes to the rights of another country entrusted case ukraine, she takes a firm stand. the partnership between our great nations is based on the fundamental principle that people should be free to choose their own future. the controversy over scottish independence comes as their race to replace prime minister boris johnson heats up with both candidates facing criticism over the
9:23 pm
domestic problems that continue to grip the country. however, new poll show support for scottish independence is on the rise. whoever becomes the next prime minister, while the country supreme court is set to rule in october on whether a 2nd referendum can take place next year. academic, an independent journalist, jason, michael described england's relationship with scotland as quote exploitive. to describe britain as a family, it can only be described to the family if we're willing to accept that it's natalie dysfunctional family. britain have a very long history of exploiting scotlands men at all at resources, an act of their political and domestic violence. i would describe this marriage between england and scotland as the british government is forever describing. this is a voluntary union. it's involuntary union. we are not allowed the opportunity to vote ourselves on democratically. the british government is being entirely hypocritical . and this is
9:24 pm
a long tradition of the london governments treatment of scotland. the 6 counties that occupied by britain in the north of ireland and wales. it should come as no surprise that when it comes to advancing america's foreign policy objectives in eastern europe. that this right of nations to govern themselves is advocated for ukraine, but certainly not for scotland which might lead to the breakup of protected hedge. a monic estonia has removed a monument of a soviet era tank in the russian. speaking city of nava locals have been laying flowers near the site where the tank stood. its removal is a part of efforts by the estonian government to raise all soviet era monuments in the country. officials say the tank and novice served as a symbol of aggression and that such monuments should be removed to avoid incitement of hatred. the tank has now been transported to a museum. the monument commemorated this site where soviet soldiers crossed
9:25 pm
a river in world war 2 and defeated the nazi invaders, driving them from the city. some say removing the tank shouldn't have been the main focus of the estonian government. yeah, tomorrow you just want to distract people for attention from economic problems in estonia, but the economy won't be affected by such actions. so i have no idea what they're thinking about. who, what, when we knew there was no real problem with the tank. it just affects people's emotions, their psyche triggers memories in older people's minds. i think i'm strongly against this. estonia has forgotten. who drove the nazis from here? in response to the removal of the tank pro russian hackers from the kill net group save favorite, disrupted over 200 major estonian websites. according to the group, the targets of the cyber attack were large estonian banks, health care systems, and education systems. as well as government, commercial and other service websites. ah,

a russian cosmonaut has been told to immediately return to the international space station after an emergency in orbit. the cosmonaut apparently had an electrical problem with his face suit so moscow's ground control had to end a routine space walk early. he is now safe at the space station. my flight controllers say the cosmo not wasn't endanger, but that the battery pack issues required extra precautionary steps. there were 2 russian cosmonaut who were on a 6 and a half hour space walk to carry out routine work on the space station was a fixed thanks for tuning into this hour's top news stories from around the globe for more news coverage and articles head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on instagram and twitter for more video content. see you again at the top of the hour. ah, ah
