an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, up to 15 years in ukraine's prison for thieving, humanitarian aid from russia. according to a new law by chaos designed to stop people in pro russian regions from guessing vital supply. i talked to him and make his plans. berlin sanctions again, most go with economic howard, carrie, which will bring the country to its knees. all doing nothing to help you with just relying because that doesn't want to become a battle ground between the u. s. on china. i mean beijing late in the military, moved the in the south asia region.

a very well welcome to you because on the international with the very latest world news update, it's good to happy with us this out now up to 15 years in jail for receiving bread and water, that's the punishment for people living in pro russian regions in case they accept any humanitarian aid from moscow. that's according to a new ukranian law. autism on concert brings is the details from don. yes. basically at the moment. so if a person in ukraine receives any type of humanitarian aid from a russian organizational from russia, that person could face up to 15 years in prison. of course, we all know that human and tearing catastrophe is a situation is very dire right now. in ukraine and many people are depending on the humanitarian aid that comes from russia. and in major part of the

moment, anyone can really become a suspect. if they decide to take a loaf of bread and give it to their children or give it to their neighbors. and their neighbors and certain will become suspects as well. there's still not really clear how this so law would be implemented and how in a law enforcers would approve that the person indeed received humanitarian aid from russia. of course, in the recent weeks we've seen the how you create and officials are looking for those are so called collaborators with russia. they've been entering people's homes . they've been searching their things, searching their mobile phones too, in search of something that would prove that this person is indeed a russia collaborator. now this new law came into effect on the 16th of august

and apart from commended serenade. it also says that a person can be convicted for urging people to support the russian military or providing a russia with information about ukraine's military. and of course, you know that so one point in the slow about receiving humanitarian aid is an absolute outrage. and you can just take a look online what people are saying about it that don't understand why a person wanting sofa read for his child or for himself would face 15 years in prison. or will you see now is the aftermath of the shelling of a residential building in a city of perfect my skin, the la guns republic, according to local authorities, ukrainian force is used in american supply tie mas artillery system. at least one person was killed and 3 others wounded, including a child and the attack. local officials have started a criminal probe into the shelling, which they say is further evidence of genocide finding off on death

ukrainians, offering a devastating munitions as kansas to express hatred of russians. these sign my rocket fundraising platform, 1000 messages on a wide range of ordinance to be used against russian troops. clients will wise pay will wide pay for their inscriptions on bombs and missiles and then receive photos of the munitions in action. the platforms, co founder essays, the majority of clients are from the u. s. a claims to provide money for the countries war efforts, yet it's not sanctioned by the ukrainian military. the platform has gone viral since it was featured in the washington post on line prompting questions as to whether it helped to promote the targeting of russians. it included examples of feedback from satisfied customers and links to similar russell phobic services, even highlighting the role of such quote, humor, and war. the tradition of resistance is strong, said, year us love read sack

a ukrainian historian. she said, humor and obscenities have long typified ukraine's response to foreign occupation. there are so many places that you can send your money that will directly alleviate human suffering in this war that are in this so many ways you can help them. don't glorify and cheapen the constant tragedy of war. yeah, it's pretty weird to see people rejoicing as they see strangers being blown up 3000 miles away in a city. they can't pronounce nationals and will correspond, and thomas will proceed. belly, any of the money spent will be used for humanitarian aid. this is synagogue, we are talking about what dying people we are talking about. i i wasn't the next guy wasn't done but we're talking about a bumps and shells and, and rockets hitting and really see what regions are like, like even by hospitals and so on. and to order some kind of text on such a rocket,

i, well, i can commanded. i'm what they are trying to do is of course, to, to fund some money extra money for it, for ukraine. but again, yeah, even understand what for because when we see a whole much weapons, the west gifts into ukraine, there is no need to buy anything. additionally they have they have enough. and so i even don't know who would receive this money and for what, for which purposes. and as we see with the vip or weapons delivery from america, with the u. s, they say open the, it's a black hole. and cbs said on the, on the 3rd to percent reach the front of people who will spend money for that. and i think they are just financing some corrupt structures in your credit. i don't think that even a center of this will go to any human hearing aid or whatever. so lanka has dismissed us concerns. i have a beijing's rising influence in the region, often allowed a chinese naval ship to dock and its port should i can officials the quick to distance themselves from american remarks and stated that the 2 asian nations

maintain close ties. the indian ocean region must remain his region of peace. there can be no conflict. it cannot be home to enemy camps, even if we are strong or weak. he cannot mclee, we need to maintain the stones. the chinese ship arrived in sri lanka port following a short delay off the which was welcomed in a traditional ceremony attended by the countries lawmakers upon arrival chinese sailors. how about welcoming the close friendship between the 2 nations? indian officials, on the other hand, were not so welcoming as they expressed worries over china's naval presence in the region. the indians on get the new delhi has provided financial aid to shrill and collapsing economy and that the island nation to take his partner security concerns most seriously decide to india and sun. a chinese ship is doctor dean. she loved god, the humble talk fort. it's important that she like i used to be for 99 years. i just

couldn't be back the chinese loan spent on it. i for she like, i definitely don't. i will of the lesson last week as index best to secure he can says the china, the had its way. i'm on the ship, isn't backyard. she legacy for the ship is on a piece mission, but india is no find that line new day of islam and the statements are coming you from countries talk last. the government carefully monitor any development, having a bearing on india, security, and economic interests, and takes all necessary measures to safeguard them. the you won't find what a grand we're going to see luck on tuesday morning. i'm with the center for a week. permission granted for chinese survey ship to enter ham, been out of port for replenishment. i was in favor of the chinese request. our foreign policy is neutral and any foreign war logistic mist ship can enter our harbor, provided she is on a peaceful mission. no, all you, danny,

worried about the shiny ship, could be really fine on india to unlock and bought a concern for new day. the course is only about one a. he's for satellites and multiple antennas. so what can the ship actually do? reports suggest they can monitor 3 types of launches, satellite rockies and intercontinental ballistic matthias. they can also gather technical intelligence. the range of the ship system offset to be up to 750 kilometers. there is a chance all in defense assets being exposed until the indian navy is reportedly keeping an eye on the chinese west when a small bankrupt nation, like sri lanka, delivers a diplomatic slap to new delhi by hosting a chinese surveillance ship at its commercial ward of hamburg no doubt, it is a stunning reminder of both india's feckless foreign policy and receding influence in its strategic back yard. meanwhile, i'll see you that you ship. you see lanka will not affect the security or any

country. they do not affect the security and the economic interests of any country and should not be obstructed by any 3rd party who does all sort of own. the title says in the indian ocean waffle, now is wasting actually watching and sharma r t u day. we heard from political experts on consultant editors the had a nice who believes that she lanka, as an independent states, is capable of choosing the direction of its developments, including cooperation with china. in fact, she loved that has the right to start, right. i think this is a classic case. despite that, you know, the pressure from india and even us, i think we love got to ground to say that, you know, if there are security concerns, you know, they will address. but because that was india and most of us could not

convincingly prove that day 2nd because you know, i think that the sheila got your seats on buck and china has been great helping hand in the past despite you know, de does, there are some concern. so the did, but china has be one. china has been so generously given money for some interest structure, mostly after the end of the war. and i don't think she, lunk, a limited conviction. not only china, but even countries. and you, paul, in taiwan, has revealed the support for the islands leader has dropped to in the wake of us, how speak and nancy pelosi is controversial visit to ty, pay. according to the survey by taiwan, public opinion foundation, the number of those approving sighing ones, policy has fallen by 6 percent since last month. the poll also focused on the dropping support among tie, one for youth with their approval of her now standing at 54 percent past 20 percent

lower compared to july, vice chairman of the shanghai center for room pac and international studies. nelson wong told us these numbers are a wakeup call for the ty with these leadership. this is very indicate, particularly at a time when nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan, was just 2 weeks away from now. it actually gives us a good example of how an incident can affect her remark. coles, maybe this is a bit exaggerating, but the public opinions do prove something. so the taiwan regime, it's a wake up call as well, about what they should do, what they are not supposed to do when it comes to protecting the people's welfare. and the recent opinion polls reflects the change of attitudes of the young people

in taiwan. this recent of the escalation of taishan across the pie was is quite guard, educate to the young people, i believe because they now realize what the us is doing. is it helping them? or is it creating trouble or escalating the cation? so i think it's very important that the young people are waking up. ah, nato is prepared to weigh in with military force in kosovo once again if the situation that escalates that's according to the blogs chief installs in burke who statement has raised eyebrows and serbia, which has been bombed by the us, lead alliance before should stability be jeopardized k for stance, ready to intervene, nato continues to monitor close to the situation on the ground. our carrier for

peacekeeping mission remains focused on it's you and mandates. saw some bugs warning comes in the wake of a wreath and flare up of tensions between serbia and kosovo. off the authorities of the breakaway region decided to block off postage to people with serbian documents . the controversial measures box protests i said, we live in kosovo is one is condemnation. from belgrade off to which christina was supposed to postpone the move. and to september. subs are wary of nato's involvement as many of them still remember the u. s. lead bombing of bell grade back in 1999, which took place without the backing of the un security council, and also to $78.00 days. the intervention that left soviet devastated. as many non military sites were designated as legitimate targets, fine a time, some of the civilian victims have saved a block of 8th and legal use of depleted uranium shelves and the bombing of

civilians was discuss this now with serbian political analysts. alexandre pavlovitch many thanks to joining because on the program it's good to see you. so what do you may call the ne, so chief remarks here, how serious is the situation in kosovo at the moment? it doesn't really warrant such a threat from brussels? well, if you will, if you listen to all timbered words carefully, he said, if you're gonna intervene to keep stability, there is no word of keeping the peace and stability and what to do. okay, well, nato has been engaged in nation building for this unrecognized stay on breakaway province of serbia. that played forcibly tried to split away from serbia since 1999. and nato has been assisting video albanian majority in

their secessionist project for the past 20 years down, been keeping the peace. i stole kimberly's, right. they have been keeping stability in the sense that they're doing everything possible to make sure that the chena, the capital of the province goes about an ethnic, ethnically cleansing, the remaining serves and rounding out there are so called state hood in peace without intervention from serbia or anyone else? so you know, that's what nato has been doing, and stole timber. just said they're going to keep doing that. they never react when a special police forces to the serbian majority morris. in fact, david enable them numerous times. on the other hand, nato has done not only has it done nothing to facilitate the return of more than

200000 serbian refugees and displaced internally displaced persons from coastal. but there doing nothing to stop further intimidation of the remaining surges and costs of on the part of albanian extremists. so then how is this later statement from so simply being taken by subs? it stuck being taking as anything that's new? ah, it's obvious that nato is not going to lift a finger. there is a new incursion into the north, into the serv. majority north. it's, it's, we've had those we've had numerous such incursions. we've had a police special police coming in to the north of abusing served civilians arresting. some of them are they? they've got beat up. i can be of course the law office of the serbian

government back in 2018. michael george was now the service ambassador in the united states. nobody has been punished for that. so here the 3rd is are the serbs. busy both in northern corso and in the rest of serbia. they're not surprised at all with this new statement. they're in fact worried that this is just going to encourage you, encourage us, which could very well cause the serbian reaction because they're not gonna allow themselves to be just bullied into being part of this fake terrorist stay. so, you know, we, we have, this is not an encouraging but message from a total, but it's not a surprising lot at all. sure, to nato in, for being militarily in casa, again, what kind of consequences would you be facing? what's your opinion about that?

when nato is only gone to our react of serbia tries to protect its own people. in our course of all, if us, serbian army or police cross the administrative line line between a central serbia and kosovo in that case also may very well. i mean, natal may very well into re but you know, in that case that could stir up a larger conflict because 1st of all, in belgrade, people are kind of demand some sort of action. they're not going to stand for it. as it's going to put pressure on the serbian government, and the russian government has already said in the russian ambassador has already said that they're going to support serbia if they ask for help. and the russian ambassador in belgrade has said the other day that he's confident serbia is going to protect its people in cost of all. so, ah, somebody stirring the pot. i mean,

not somebody, it's queer. who's doing that? the nato countries are doing that and they may be doing that deliberately. in fact, it seems like they're doing it deliberately because of serbia stance. certainly a stand alone in this entire region are practically in europe, not of not of refusing to. busy are imposed sanctions on russia so that the west is obviously using the albanians in kosovo to pressure the serbian government to impose sanctions against russia, among other things. so nato's during this, they're playing russian roulette. they are stirring the pot, both in corso and in boston. got to go in as well. they may well want to cause cause the stabilization hoping that russia will react and maybe be distracted from

what's going on in ukraine, where we can take the political analyst alexander parish. many thanks for your time . we appreciate your boss. thanks for inviting me. ah, yes, another large industrial firm has fallen victim to europe is energy crisis is a major medium producer and for love a slovak year has the quote close shop due to soaring electricity prices. with more on the impacts of what's being could be use suicidal sanctions. hayes aren't the contributor rachel milestone pulling right recall. few weeks ago that it was german industry representatives who were bracing for the impact of the european union's own anti russian sanctions. but now other countries within the block are facing similar threats to their industrial production as a result of brussels, self imposed sanctions. now you nations are all in the same boat and that boat is pretty much a danny that's taking on more water by the day while they're focused on shaking their fists a russian president vladimir putin. so tangible results are surely right around the

corner, right? it's always darkest before dawn and all that. or maybe that's just the lights shutting off because europeans can't pay the bills. so now it's a norwegian own slovakian aluminum plant. the supplies all of europe that set to stop production by the end of september, jeopardizing $300.00 full time jobs. so how important is this operation? the smelter, exactly. the slo, valko, aluminum smelter is a key supplier, not only for slovak companies, but also for other european ones by stopping production. europe will be forced to import aluminum from countries like china or russia. so there's the c e o himself saying that you sanctions specifically meant to target russia or harming production to the point that the e. u will now have to turn to russia and china for its aluminum sounds like something that the you is desperately going to need. so you know, hurry up and maybe sanctioning because that's kind of the direction they always seem to go. now belgians inc,

producer nursed are also announced this week that is smelter in the netherlands will go offline starting in september, due to the skyrocketing price of energy starting to sound like hungarian prime minister, victor or bon was maybe on to something when he said last month that europe, quote shot itself in the lungs with anti russian sanctions that could destroy the european economy. and now even the head of germany's parliamentary energy committee is referring to economic suicide. energy sanctions against russia have turned out to be a serious mistake. a major recession in germany is inevitable. in the energy sector, the economic downturn is primarily due to the sanctions, as well as statements that russian energy supplies will be cut off regardless of existing agreements or contracts. jeopardizing the energy supply of europe's largest economy is hara kiri, it hurts citizens and the industry and does nothing to help ukraine. so things are looking pretty grim for the you right now,

but they're nonetheless sticking it to vladimir putin. right? well, if these you sanctions were actually hitting their intended target than that you probably wouldn't be going so far as to entertain the idea of a travel band for ordinary russian citizens. grasping at straws there something that brussels is set to discuss at the end of august, and which runs against so many of their previously stayed principles. meanwhile, according to a russian economy, ministry document reported by reuters moscow's energy export. revenues have shot up by 38 percent in just this year. now remember what you commission, president ursula vander lane said back in may, that quote, putin must pay a price a high price. but with each passing day, new evidence suggests that the ones paying the very highest price as a result of the use best efforts. well, they're europeans. the greek ports of alexandra play has become

a point of competing interests, full pro russian and pro american companies. 2 of the 4 groups listed to take a majority share of the strategically important port are deemed to be close to moscow, while the other 2 have strong ties to the u. s. alexandro pally is important due to the ongoing construction of liquefied natural gas terminal parts of a move to phase out russian supplies to the balkans. grease has been privatizing strategic assets and recent years. something forced on the country in return for multibillion euro bailout. alexandra really enjoys a strategic position near the border with turkey and the straight which leads to the black sea and has been a major docking point for nato ships. the amounts of us weaponry flowing through the poor to seen a dramatic increase in the start of the conflict in ukraine. protests have been held and very city against the presence of the nato bass and a greek and greek u. s. military agreements. and of course, the country,

greece is involvement and the military maneuvers that the nato letter lions has sparked protests and strikes and military build up over the year. has been a source of concerns of russia, along with neighboring turkey. despite it status as a nato member states, there are 9 years basis established in greece right now, i guess whom where they established the answer they give is against russia, but we don't buy it, take no offense. but we join live by a former greek diplomat lini to present populace now many thanks for joining us on the program. now, mr. chris, on populace, the port is very important for the us flow of weapons to ukraine. can grease realistically prevent this from happening? no, because they have made the agreements with the united states plus a b, c r agreement that was signed recently between a greek foreign minister and the u. s. secretary of state,

which allows them the use of the port. alexandra, what he's now here is a basic mistake that was state that was made, i mean, the greeks thought that this agreement will secure them from turkish threats while the americans wanted this agreement in order to continue and circling russia. so i personally don't think that in case that there is a clash between greece and turkey. this, this base, i mean, the american troops and then it literally will do anything to prevent this a conflict. simply they will just stay out of the conflict. and the turks will make sure that they won't hit the american installations there. that's as far as the greek concerns are, are, are mentioned. but the us is using this part of the, of her policy of circling

a circle in russia. and it's used also to send this to galleria weapons to do to the ukraine. so it's a, it's a very difficult situation. i don't think greece has much to say about this anymore . and we will have to see now what will happen with the privatization of the board of elections will produce where there are 4 companies that are interested in it. one is a company loses the other one is a a, this was was the 1st and the other one was another greek russian company that has already. busy but this is underneath and there are also 2 american companies who are interested personally. i think it would be better than

the great companies that compete over this thing. rather than have more americans getting in involved there. because i do not see that that would be to the interest of greece. talk about this nice. i present things that because the great people are not happy about that. all that has been protest this been strikes all across the country. how important do you think the press that is public pressure? isn't that they put any, did a great government even care about that? i don't think that the government cares about it. it has not been any mention about these demonstrations in the greek breast. so basically, the greek population don't even know that these demonstrations are happening. and personally, i hear from you for the 1st time that there are these demonstrations happening. and i'm actually happy to hear that this is taking place. but the greek government

doesn't care about how much of a concern is the increase u. s. military presence, the neighboring tech. a well, it bothers turkey from the point of view that if turkey consider continues its upper swamp towards russia and continues its anti american policy, then the americans might think twice and they might actually do something in favor of greece. in case there is a conflict between greece and turkey. we had. busy yesterday's visit of bob menendez to alexander to police mom. this is for the head of the committee on foreign affairs in, in the, in the us senate. and he has been supporting great positions visa problems that.
