[000:00:00;00] ah ah, up to 15 years in ukraine's prison for receiving humanitarian aid from russia, according to a new old bye k if designed to stop people in pro russian regions from guessing vital supplies. a talk german, lawmakers from berlin functions against moscow as economic power carry, which will bring the country to its knees all doing nothing to help you with the white house refuses a new request to release 7000000000 dollars in frozen acid fees by washington from afghanistan. despite the struggle of local the years since the u. s. abandoned to the country. but the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos and then they froze our money

with a very warm welcome to you. this is all to international with the latest world news out there. it is great to happy with us this hour. now up to 15 years in jail for receiving breads and water, that's the punishment for people living in pro russian regions in case they accept any humanitarian aid from moscow. according to a new ukrainian law ortiz, were mon cause, or have brings us the details from don. yes. basically at the moment. so if a person in ukraine receives any type of humanitarian aids from a russian organizational from russia, that person could face up to 15 years in prison. of course, we all know that humanitarian catastrophe is a situation is very dire right now. in ukraine and many people are depending on

humanitarian aid that comes from russia in major part. and they're still not really clear how this so law would be implemented and how in a law enforcers would prove that the person indeed received humanitarian aid from russia. of course, in the recent weeks we've seen how you create an 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 will prove that this person is indeed a russia collaborator. now this new law came into effect on the 16th of august and apart from humanitarian aid. it also says that a person can be convicted for urging people to support their russian military or providing a russia with information about ukraine's military point in this law about receiving

humanitarian aid is an absolute outrage. and if you could just take a look online, what people are saying about it that don't understand why a person wanting a piece of bread for his child or for himself would face 15 years in prison. yet another large industrial fun has fallen victim to europe. the energy crisis as a major element producer in slovakia has the quote close shop. she says soaring electricity prices with more on the impacts of was being called the use suicide on sanctions. his are to contribute to rachel marston, pulling right recalls, 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 even nations are all in the same boat, and that boat is pretty much

a day that's taking on more water by the day while they're focused on shaking their fists a russian president library. bruton. so tangible results are surely right around the corner, right? it's always darkest ego 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 right now, but they're nonetheless sticking it to vladimir putin. right? well, if the 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 ban 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 land 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. ah, i knew paul in taiwan has revealed that support for the islands. lita has dropped in the wake of us. how speak a nancy pelosi is controversial visit to ty pain. according to the survey by taiwan is public opinion foundation. a number of those approving thigh and quins policy has fallen by 6 percent since last month. a poll also focused on the drop in support among a tie ones. youth with their approval of her now standing at 54 percent thus 20 percent lower compared to july, vice chairman of the shanghai sense if

a rim pike and international studies nelson won't hold. as these numbers are a wake up call for the taiwanese leadership. this is very indicated, 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 that can affect the polls of history. maybe this is a bit exaggerating, but 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 escalation of taishan across the pie was great is quite guard. educate due 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 patient? so i think it's very important that the young people are waking up. ah, how's it, former pakistani prime minister in wrong card has his out at the rest of his clothes, the 8 on pockets on a politician shop on gill who was detained last week for allegedly making controversial remarks about the pakistan army descending into a banana republic. the civilized world will be shocked in our levels of barbarism. the worst part is an easy target has been chosen to make an example of fruit torture and without a fair trial. in one con statement comes amid they control the face rounding the rest, which the former prime minister claims to be

a conspiracy targeting him and his party colleagues through a confession which he says was obtained through coercion. subaru skill was charged with sedition, but con claims his palate, political ally was tortured by islamic police while in custody. in one call, it was alfred from power in april, following a vote of no confidence in the pakistani parliament. the former prime minister blamed us plot for his removal. let's go live now to focus on a little maker. sean donna goes on con many thanks for joining us on the program. it's good to see you. i'd like to know once your take on the course decision to hold shabbos skill on re mountains and, and what are the possible implications of this? thank you, in a key now, given that a member of p t i, hon. spotty. my opinion would hardly matter because it would be, as the observers would be biased in favor of my own body. so let me give you what

the media is saying, what the lawyers are. think that when you have a patient in a critical medical condition, whether you'd be in jail or out of it, you do not hand him over back to the same authorities that brought him back physical condition in the 1st place. for that reason, today when i was in the high quarters, when the judges at the high court has called the said true representatives of the prison of james whitlock up where he was kept to figure out what went wrong when. in addition, the judge also did not take into account any of the medical records. as a result of that job, i was taken to hospital last night in the difficult condition was already asked the magic, he was suffering from bronco parliament diseases. and now it seems the one word on the street is that people will not, or judges or lawyers or police. the impression on the street is that if you are a p t i worker or to be the party member, you will be subject to all kinds of abuse. the law doesn't matter and that is

a very dangerous space for focus on to be. what do you make the claim to ship asked was tortured in custody by islam about police. it's interesting. we have 2 statements. one from shabba get in, which he says he was stripped, hung upside down and beaten up, and the medical records testified to that. on the other hand, on twitter, if somebody please give a statement that they did not even touch mr. give than that, leave the black hole in the entire arguments, medical records supporting him and the police. i stated that the statement to felicia directly to nike. that means there was a 3rd party that came in and conduct could be of us, which means the police office rama bob has, has used his lock up to allow when external people, we don't know who they are, it could be from the opposition party. they could be anybody. and what does that say about the status of prisoners under trial? in boxes. mon calling of course is slammed. the rest is

a conspiracy to target him and his party. what do you make of these claims and also what's the mood on the streets? 2 separate things, especially when the crime in its extremity, samara punch him and b t. i says that this is a conspiracy he doesn't say without reason. we have plenty of proof that things are happening in a way to the i myself wasn't a high court. i was in a station i've been targeted and harassed by the nationalist and the bikes on minor issue. but just to ensure that we fall into like know when it comes to the issue of shabba, gail and the conspiracy. the idea is that mr. gil should sign a confessional statement. this is the gossip we had. again, we have no proof of this, but mister shabba bill has said that the kind of questions that were asked of me what to do with what prime chairman and fund who he needs in particular one particular general. and they were trying him to get him to sign a confessional statement that iran honda's anti army and anti slavish mac, which is as far from the truth as it gets in terms of the mode on the street on

shabazz arrest. people are livid now back if you accompanied with what happened in august on the 25th of may, when civilians including disabled people, the elderly children, women were all attacked. families would attack by the police. a does not lend its orders. i putting, fired to the tinderbox and con is desperate to make sure that bug man goes to a peaceful evolution and not revolution because he does not want any bloodshed. whoever dies when all be back as time, whether they belong to the services or whether the civilians. that's the last thing he wants to do. con is also said that pakistan is descending into a banana republic. why would he say that? the reason he said that is because i give you an example, the election commission of pakistan we have recently given 8 decisions against dpi, our party, all 8 of, of, of overturned by the sound by high court. a number of other issues have happened. i don't if you managed to see what happened the punjab by elections where

a fictitious letter that nobody had ever read that nobody's ever seen became a cause of removal of b t i. well one p and not pointing their candidate as chief minister recently with the arrest of mr. shabba bill. before that, if you recall, 200 forms was stolen. a young man was caught in his house trying to implant some devices into his bedroom. we have knew that his forms were bugs now. either way, democracy or we are foster because democracy we have to choose. we can't play games either with an electric quality. we're elected representatives of the people or we just playing games with the people for lack of a better term. and finally, i don't know if you've seen the news in terms of what the message said to pakistan . it is a funny demand from i m. s. usually once a staff agreement in pakistan has been reached, or in any country that might be the i, m, f, usually then pledges for through from other pharmacy. at this point in time, i messaged us focused on to ensure that it thought miss seats are friendly states, including saudi, make their pledges before that would be really that strong,

which is very, very odd. given the max monetary i m f. and finally, we're sort of shabazz give and these full statements coming from young workers. these are, you know, almost compulsory statements coming up from young people saying a, b, b. i instruct you that this be the instructor that picking up our workers. speaking of our activists, abusing women, abusing women, fall materials, abducting them without any thought of from it. any thought of legal documents back is what happens in a bananas fit. the world has remains relatively silent on the case of mister gil so far. why do you think that says a number of reasons. i think part of it is how international nations integrate with each other, how they deal with each other. i think if i were an american, i would be fairly offended by any pocket finding interference. the match of mister george floyd, who was murdered by 4 police officers. nearly this is i think, 2020 during coven. and there was a huge outcry united states. similarly, the attacker gap,

which is why all democrats on democracy that was said it was unbecoming. however, it was not for us to say an american citizen, if you recall, we can, india made a statement to that effect that india does not comment on the human rights issues of united states. why should we not griffin to india, or vice versa? to point b, i don't expect any international going to international nation to comment except perhaps misty genocide, watch these kinds of organizations, human rights, what we do expect them journalists, reuters, but international condemnation. in any case, they keep talking about is found to be at one point in science. deli was a recap, which is the words and people would never see the financial times. you never saw it in any big building. and yet recently we've had a funny, prohibited funding case. the impact is on time and then on, and at the same time that is picked up by financial science. so the equivalence is

a bit hard to run con. he slammed the ship. i'm sure if government for bowing to us pressure, saying that he's about to take a firm stand and have a foreign policy that reflects the needs of the people. what do you make of this? honda said is pretty clearly on a number of occasions. the idea is friends with every one place to man. it took us a long time to obtain freedom from colonialism. and unlike india, we don't have the colonizing masters. we work with them, we cooperate with them. we have no one. but at the same time, given what has happened and gosh, me, the suffering sun, life loss of 80000 lives in bucks. and in particular, the area that i come from, katie and baluchistan pakistan affordable. and to any more for we have to set our own house, we be friends with every one we sent leave supplies to which we did not send russia . we have sent relief supplies, the sun during earthquakes, we want to be we wouldn't even have been friends with india had they not destroyed the independent status of kashmir and the kind of condition site that took place.

and the young man that works out from crush me, we want to talk peace with everybody. but on equal terms, the world of 7th and master's, i'm afraid, must. and it doesn't work like that. and the think that the u. s. considers pakistan is the west slave as iran con puts it. to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised by that impression. if the american have it of us simply because in the past, i can show in the last 40 to 45 years, we have plenty of by big who had no courage, who had no integrity and particular financial integrity. a lot of best buy national assets out in the west and they couldn't afford to take a stand for independent foreign policy. we've had come from my fall additions, we have had compromised everybody. and essentially those people have assets just focused on. so for han to say that the west is, it is dave, it's not just the with anybody who forces us to go into their policy designs, which hurts the buckets,

tiny man and woman. they automatically could sit asleep. but unfortunately, it may not be so wrong because like i'm in the past has awkward buckets on 1st. we've put others 1st and we paid the price washington as we know with it, he had comments on anything so far went through the us, the interest stunned in this regard. you could be 90 stage 6 to build a new partnership with the current government. i can't be sure to be honest because funny things have happened in the last 3 months during the negotiations with i m. s . people thought the presumption was a us would be a bit failure to the new government in a civilization. i. m. s. in its efforts to get out of the deepening thinking, hold on finances, we didn't see that happening. we didn't see america forthcoming. united states did issue a company for joint is saying that the kind of in rhetoric, according to them, that concept darling out is not correct. of course, back unfortunately isn't conflict with the kind of articles we see in the washington post. and there was free journal articles on the booking institution in

particular on how barcas on nuclear weapons are being handled on to go to the, to them. so there are extremely alarming news that come out of the sea on west institutions on august on we have it into an a problem and we need to solve it within ourselves. it's a political problem. we need to take it a bit. but the problem is, every time we try to sort of the country, every time for me to go to develop one, somebody the other seems to have a problem with it. so if you combine the issue of being a slave of the with if you combine it with others, want to take advantage of coffee and take advantage. i put no blame in the usc or anybody as if my people, if my parliamentarians are willing to set up for as little as $1000000.00, how do i mean the us people buying seller be? so it doesn't work like that. you're going to be a country integrity. if you're going to be a country of data turns, you saw your own house output. thank you very much for speaking to us today. we really appreciate your time and your expertise on this sunday. the goals are con,

member of the national assembly. we'll talk to them. ah, the death toll from the bombing of a mosque and couple has risen to 21 people with at least 33 others wounded. that's how the bond has condemned. the attack reportedly carried out by a suicide bomber, i guess, since the medicine group surged back to pow in afghanistan following a disaster with us military pullouts. we look back at developments in the ravaged country, along with the suffering and hardships experienced by africans. no nation,

no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history. dozens of relatives of $911.00 victims a sent a letter to president biden urging him to return $7000000000.00 of african acids frozen by the us in response to the taliban. take either of afghanistan, the bite administration says it wanted to give the money to the families of $911.00 victims. however, the relative is saying that they are not entitled to cash. that lawfully belongs to the afghan people who are living in dia conditions. the white house has to spend his plans to release the afghan funds held in the us, leaving locals who faced chronic cash sorta jason the 12 months since america's devastating coll out in this back. ah

by sorry, off on a sunday after the u. s. froze, our money, people moved under the poverty line. banks have given up, they have no solution. the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country and chaos, and then they froze our money. they did this intentionally to push us into serious trouble, and then take advantage from that in the future of europe. in my opinion, the us should not mistreat afghans why the poll people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflicts, hardship, and so poverty. ah, now how much does he wouldn't we have demanded at washington implemented 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, ah. 100 who know us sanctions have destroyed afghans. homes 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. taught him why. if we talk about the sanctions america imposes on our poor and innocent people. they just want to kill people. ah mm hm. to lead a minima, we want to be seen as ordinary people were not wizards, where people like them. these countries have reached their present level in 30 or 50 years, and they want us to achieve in one year,

even though the condition of the country in which we got it is not good. ah ah the bullets now cross to american activist mid day, a benjamin who is a board member of the unfreeze afghanistan campaign. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's lovely to see you. now we know the recent left of the white house was signed by 76 family members of 911 victims urging job bought into return. $7000000000.00 of african assets are frozen by the west in response to the taliban takeover. alaska has done what's your assessment of these please,

and how likely are they to eventually succeed? i think it's very important that there are 911 family members that are saying that there were no afghans who are part of the $911.00 attack. that that money should be returned to the afghan people, all 7000000000 of it. and that it is wrong to take money away from some of the poorest people in the world to give it to wealthy americans. and let's face it so much of that money. if it were given to quote $911.00 families would really go to the lawyers. so we feel that that letter as well as many other please coming from other sectors like the human rights sector, like the humanitarian community, a group of 70 economists including know the laurie, a joseph stieglitz, of all, come out and said that money must be returned to the afghan people and really to

the central bank so that the bank can carry out its functions and stop the collapse of the economy, which harms $38000000.00 afghans the entire afghan population. washington reportedly intends to continue negotiations with technocrats from the central bank of ask, honest on the possible and blocking of these assets. what do you make of the prospects of those talks? well, i think it's been 365 days already. and during this entire time, $7000000000.00 that belongs to the afghan people has been in a vault in new york city. while afghans are boiling grass to eat while they are selling their kidneys while they are watching their children starve. this is unconscionable. it is not u. s. money. the u. s. convince the form raf can a government to put their money in the u. s. federal reserve because it was supposedly such

a safe place to keep those reserves. and now to keep them from the bank of, from the people we met people when i was in afghanistan a few months ago, who couldn't retrieve their own money, who couldn't get their pensions, who couldn't get the salaries. they needed to pay their employees including women on businesses. so this money, every penny of it should go back to afghanistan and go back right away with the u. s. reasoning for keeping this money locked up is that it could be used by the taliban, which is still labeled as a terrorist organization. and is that not a good move? the banking, interestingly enough, is one of the entities, the few entities that has withstood the test of time in these years during the u. s . that built it up and continues to have a monitoring system, an auditing system. and there are additional safeguards that could be put in place

. what has been proposed by the economists is that if not all the money were sent back in at once, that they'd be given out in tranches of maybe $200000000.00. see what is done with that money and stop it if it's not used for the right purposes. but there are plenty of ways to monitor this. it should not have taken a year and still we don't see any of that money being released. and at the same time, it's not only that money. us has told the i m f not to give of ghana spin hundreds of millions of dollars in special drawing rights. there is money belonging to afghanistan that's in the world bank that hasn't been released. so these are funds. there's another 2000000000 in europe that should be going back to afghanistan. if the president of the united states said that we want to help the

african economy. and this would be done right away. instead, he's playing politics and doesn't want to be seen as soft on the taliban, especially with an election coming up in november. many thanks for speaking to us today. we really appreciate your time. we've been speaking to american activist mid
