children. when my kid got a loaf of bread, he was more happy than when getting ice cream. yeah. vis humanitarian aid sensor in murray, who paul is a fully loaded. it even has a children's center right here where kids can play while their parents are receiving them much. he needed humanitarian aid. now this particular center used to serve at least 7000 people per day, at the peak of the conflict back in the may. for example, the numbers are much lower at the moment because the situation here is not as dire as it used to be. however, at the moment with this new law in key about said, collaboration is thank you. you've still considers these people ukrainians. each one of these people receiving a humanitarian aid is a suspect, including their kids from on. call for have arti, maria, hold on as people's republic, labor and human rights lawyer. don catholic, say that providing humanitarian aid is a responsibility at the countries involved in the conflicts. i think it's absurd
1:05 pm
and i think it's wrong, obviously. i mean, how could bringing humanitarian aid be collaboration as of anything that is considered condemned of all right. i think we should encourage people to bring humanitarian aid. i think we should encourage russia to bring you man and carrying a di ukraine. why would you create a disincentive to doing that, even to criminalize bringing you manager and aid international humanitarian law as best exemplified by the geneva conventions. but others as well requires to provide the necessities of life for the people, food medicine, water. that's the whole point of humanitarian law in the geneva convention, i have more and more of ukraine's neo nazi as of battalion fight is being captured
1:06 pm
by russian forces. some of the prisoners are being investigated for alleged war crimes. with the notorious group now labeled as a terrorist organization by moscow, from a french service min adrian bouquet, who is known for his previous revelations of as all the actions over the years of conflict visited the battalions captive members. a warning, some of them could have been speaking on the duress. i am now in a secret detention center were meeting captured officers of the as of battalion were being kept under strict guard. ah. ah. well, it just was a lawyer. as you can see, the tattoos a real nazi tattoos. your civil is slightly camouflage, crosses or change a bit different. the signatures. look, this is a painter swastika. here is another similar dial our
1:07 pm
other symbols. look at this one over the top. there's a helmet of the s s guard. and this is a small touchy, there are hundreds of fighters with s s. rooms watch because when i say hundreds, i mean under this point, yeah, this is just one example to show you a reality. i had you ever killed or shot civilians? nation by orders of my commanders. i shot at the vehicle was carrying people. know so you were shooting an unarmed civilians only because you've got the orders. well, not exactly. it was dark. the bus had tinted windows and the driver didn't stop on
1:08 pm
demand. do you understand what you have done is a war crime. turns out that i do while you were hiding and as a stop plant did you know women and children were dying from the shells hitting their flaps in the central unit. there was a war going on and there were 2 sides, not one engaged in the fighting. ah, ah, russia is representative in vienna has said that the international atomic energy agencies visit to this apple g. a nuclear power plant may take place in early september. it comes off the u. n. chief antonio gets her as promised, the watchdog would visit the facility during gateway last will meeting with ukrainian and turkish ladies in evolve. the situation remains turbulence with at least 7 ukrainian shells exploding in the vicinity of the overnight rushes deputy minister of foreign affairs. they were moving soldiers,
1:09 pm
protecting the plans may only increase the risk of a nuclear catastrophe. but it will still not sure why in the russian military presence at the zap, rosie nuclear power plant guarantees that a 2nd sure noble will not happen. i will demilitarization of the facility would increase the risk, the recklessness with which our adversaries play with nuclear safety for creates a threat to the largest nuclear facility in urine us with potential risks to vast territories and not only near the station of but far beyond the ukrainian borders to the way, while the west media tries to down play the role of neo nazi groups in ukraine that turning a blind eye to the fact that some americans have been serving alongside ukraine's ultra nationalist forces. he's way too blevins investigates. a story of us mercenary kent mcclellan and whether the c i a may be involved in his neo nazi career. the presence of neo nazis in ukraine is nothing to be concerned about according to mainstream malice in the us who have been quick to try to label the
1:10 pm
problem as nothing more than russian. c propaganda, despite reporting on it themselves just a few years ago. but what would they say if one of those nationalists was an american citizen? and if he claimed that he was sent ukraine by the c i day. well, that's the case with kent mcclellan who prefers to go buy his nickname, bone face. you know, there's a lot of hype about the pricing over there. but as on the, does that it was central intelligence that got me involved. now that is a serious claim, and while the c a has yet to publicly respond, mccolan attempted to take back his statement insisting he had been misunderstood just one day after the interview. so was it a coincidence or did he just get a phone call from the right people? well, a closer look at his new nazi career shows more light on those carelessly spoken words about the ca. mccolan is a 32 year old man from florida, whose interest in nazi ideology reportedly began when he was
1:11 pm
a teenager. his criminal record started in 2010 when he was 18 and it ranges from vandalism to battery involving immigrants. he was also among members from the white supremacists, organization american front, who were arrested by the f. b i in 2012. and it was, those are early run in with the law that appeared to make mcclellan even more radical as he began to accumulate numerous tattoos and include nazi symbols and would eventually cover his entire face. a former member of ukraine security services claims. it was in 2014, the mccolan made his 1st trip to ukraine, where he worked with the neo nazi group right sector during the western back might on qu, nationalist organ, seen over here in united states has never had to put together. you know what i mean there, it's totally different than what ukraine has going on. i was tracking through it. she was also mentioned in the 2020 report from a local north carolina newspaper title last week of ukraine,
1:12 pm
which looked at how american white supremacists were attracted to the growing neo nazi movement. their. their report specifically noted that mcclellan who was given internet access for good behavior during his sentence in 2016 openly claim he was working with the right sector on foreign recruitment. while in prison, they made me wondering how and why a man who had been in and out of prison for years made his trips to crane and back so freely. well that something that ca just happens to be in a tori is we known for being very helpful with his also said that he wasn't the only american involved and that there were several other english speakers like himself who came together to help form the infamous as of italian in 2014 a particularly when the as a battalion back then formed unit 3 was all english speakers. so all people from norway, from one to things like that. and of course americans. so just how prevalent is the
1:13 pm
neo nazi ideology in the us? well in some cases it appears to be hiding in plain sight with dozens of. 5 right nationalist bands and artist streaming on spot a lie until at least 2017. 0 and that includes the art is known as bone phase refers to share both his face full and tattoos and his nazi themed musical stylings on sound cloud. a story that comes with more questions and answers, including whether the cia was as involved as a man said they were. and how many similar cases are out there of american neo nazis visiting ukraine to learn 1st hand before returning home to the u. s. where they can continue to recruit freely. sarah founder's, the co director of the international action center, told us that the west has been coordinating wife supremacy groups in ukraine for a long time. the u. s. has openly sent mercenary forces the dogs of war. however,
1:14 pm
you want to call it nazi forces into the ukraine since 2014. and earlier they played a real role in the my don cool. right. sector force is absolutely are recruited and coordinated coordinated. that is the important thing because western money, especially from the u. s was poured in to organizing the 2014 coo and the year since and, and the as off brigade and other extreme sectors and, and you can see it whether it is in the tattoos and markings or the visa free entry . the websites or the payments, and this is not even a secret. it was actually brian about by do you the cranium government there, use of foreign forces and the coordination with military contractors, trainers as they are called from the u. s. trading food for sex,
1:15 pm
raping young women, and abandoning their children recently poor to shed light on years of wrongdoing. by un peacekeepers in the democratic republic of congo, many locals have been left desperate me. i lost my daughter who died while she was pregnant, and one soldier matter pregnant and i have no place to claim my rights. ask the government to expound this un mission from our country, but in my heart there is a wound. and if i saw his peacekeepers, i would stone them. how you say my, my daughter went to them to ask for a job, finding a job is difficult. so she started cooking for them a to few days. she was raped. my daughter is desperate. she now has psychological problems. we hope that one day this mission will leave a country and we are not going to be discouraged. we will continue to ask for the departure of the un mission because we know that it has no business here. since they arrived in the day or say they have not produced anything. they just re power sisters. now mothers,
1:16 pm
they must leave. the report is based on 2500 interviews, many with girls and women who claim to have been sexually assaulted and raped by the un peacekeepers along with some of the children conceived as a result. the correspondent parabola cartler brings us to detail shocking levels of poverty displacement, brutal attacks by groups and fighting the democratic republic of congo is one of the world's poorest. and most want on countries. in the world, however, transferred to an already bleeding wound. a recent report claimed the united nations peacekeepers, which have been in the african country for 20 years. i've raised the young women, traded food for sex, father, and abandoned thousands of children in the c allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse among un peacekeeping missions. and nothing you had no systematic research on paternity linked to
1:17 pm
a new school. that's the un mission in the see has apparently been carried out. until now. please just interviewed one girl who alleges she was traffic by half emily and impregnated by soldiers when she was only 10 years old. she's now 16, and this is her recollection of what happened and was very young. just 10 years old . i realize later all that i was sold out and my aunt, the men were buying beer in the pop to share with me some girls apparently faced abuse while begging for humanitarian assistance. another girl shed with research has headcount insulted. all of these heard me so much. the research also says the youngest girl that be interviewed, that was impregnated by un peacekeepers, was just 10 years old. and then one in every 2 mothers were under the age of 18 when they conceived, according to the report, many children were left abandoned and have fun. my father left my mother while she
1:18 pm
was pregnant. she gave birth after he was already gone. people disturb and hurt me so much. they say they will chase me because i'm a foreigner, i'm suffering they, when they the ways of allegations contains over 400 reported incidence of p. keep a father, babies says 2007. the report is based on almost 3000 interviews with members of the con, release community. and emily change you and personnel from 12 countries. those accused of fathering children include soldiers, doctors, and even photographers. although the report points out the length of prosecution for these offences by peacekeepers due to their immunity, the un says that it's strongly condemns the behavior of those who violate and undermine the venues of the organization may abusing and exploiting those who are looking to the un for protection, but the number of the victims of this or render abuse can be had to come. there are
1:19 pm
potentially thousands of children left behind by peacekeepers in a democratic republic of congo. part of the problem is that some of those deployed seem to be treating these missions as an opportunity for sex, tourism, and sexual crimes that done likely to commit in their home countries. this all came to light after a number of violent protests against un peacekeeping forces. in the eastern b r. c. i made calls for the you went to withdraw from the area 15 people have been killed in an p. u and protest in the last week imitate the due and chief antonio goods harris said could constitute a wall crime. the government has been trying to get the mission to leave since 2010, and the u. n. has been in the process of drawing down the operations since 2020 protest. meanwhile, fading one of the you went to leave because it failed to protect civilians. there is a kind of destruction with their un peacekeepers who are,
1:20 pm
are enjoying life. they are partying. almost every day going to bars and meeting with prostitutes. and that's the issue here in the r c. so that's why ours, several peacekeepers have forgotten. they are real mission, is to promote peace, not to have marquee and abandon them in the duct, not one of the mission. it's a kind of 6. you are in de, exploitation abuse, that can, and if the u. n can be very strict and also discipline it's true because, you know, without discipline, this cannot end. the conflict in ukraine has found a huge blow to europe while sanctions have not heard the russian economy enough. according to hong gary and prime minister victor open an interview with a german newspaper. firstly, the west cannot win the ukraine war militarily. secondly,
1:21 pm
the sanctions have in no way to stabilize russia. thirdly, their damage to europe as immense. fourthly, the world has not lined up behind the usa and ukraine. many countries are actually not supporting them at all. it is quite possible that this war will put a symbolic end to western superiority. and the 1st time that all but has criticized your sanctions on russia. he's previously said that the meshes affects the block much more than russia, gary, a prime minister stays the situation should be resolved by a peace talks between the us and russia, or the e. you should change it starts because the conflict will only weaken the union discuss this with a guest, the job, some you will, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute of london. many thanks for joining us on the program. always nice to see you now. george, the hungarian prime minister, said that the e u has been more harmed by its own sanctions than russia. was those. what
1:22 pm
he said this before, i mean he essentially repeating the points that he made when he delivered is important address in romania. that's the policy. it was based on 4 assumptions, one that the ukraine with the help of western arms can prevail. second, the will that the sanctions are going to bring russia to its knees so that the sanctions are not going to your more than they are russia. and walls of the rest of the world will line up behind the european union and the united state. and he's, that is a good for assumptions, have been shown to be absolutely wrong. so it's like we're sitting in with for broken wheels. ease point is that europe is now in a dead end. but the only way out is not to anything with europe. but
1:23 pm
graham, the joke between the united states and russia, unfortunately, and this is something he said before, no one in the united states was present to negotiate. and he said, again, last month that is only trump had been president or angela russell's had been charged less than the war could have been avoided. i think they would have been more and more appreciative of russia's problems. they would have addressed rushes need, which had expressed many, many times before february the 24. and then, you know, it's a tragedy that the 2 leaders who might have done something were no longer in power by what fix what it is right. and you are paying countries that are going to
1:24 pm
bring their own functions on russia, then why would you repeat countries continue pursuing such an approach? well, they don't really have very much choice in the matter because everything is being driven by the united states. so even if europe be and leave johnson shows the president, amount of all my girls came up with a plan. zelinski would just have to say, no, i don't accept any of list because you know, these are the backing of the united states, the united states. you just ready to give everything that you want to just keep boring more and more than that because the united states policy is to try to damage russia as much as possible. try and select as much pain on russia as possible. and they don't care very much how many ukrainian lives are low. so any of them by the european to come out and independent approach will be dead on arrival. because why would you pay any attention to the european when he knows that he's got
1:25 pm
the american having just funny when a senior research fellow with the labor policy institute of london. many thanks for your time with appreciate your insight, your the gas prices in the e, you have risen sharply off the rushes gas pump announced a temporary pause in the transit of gas to europe for scheduled maintenance. that all stream one pipeline will cease operations between august 31st and september, the 2nd for repairs and enterprises. shorts up by almost 5 percent off. the news was announced gas pump phase because supplies will be fully restored to the maintenance is finished and comes on top of a tenfold rising gas prices for this time of year, the vice president of the german parliament is called for the opening of the old stream to pipeline, as soon as possible, as winter approaches, the federal minister of economics must do everything to ensure that we have more energy available. we should open nor stream to as soon as possible to fill our gas
1:26 pm
storage facilities for the winter. getting gas from nordstrom to is no more immoral than from north stream. one is just a different tube because to activate the 2nd russian gas pipeline to germany, prompted an angry response from kenneth. however, the german politicians stressed that the blocks pipeline would allow germans to survive this winter. and that's the federal government's primary duty. german crossman seemed to support such a move as they wrote an open letter urging chancellor shoals to lift sanctions on russia and make political decisions for the benefits of the german people. we as craftsmen, no, for many conversations with our customers, that the vast majority are not willing to sacrifice their hard earned standard of living for ukraine. it's not our wor either. do you want to be the chancellor who drove germany to ruin? do you really want to sacrifice your country as a, was engulfed in
1:27 pm
a deepening energy crisis with an increasing number of europeans voicing the anger . a german melissa has branded those speaking out over the crisis as enemies of the state, also contributor rachel moss and has more so wait till you hear about who some of these officials are gearing up to blame for their own mismanagement when the european union for sanctioned its own cheap energy supply from russia. they blamed russian president vladimir putin for the economic impact of their own decision to self sanction. but the 1st clue that westerners weren't simply swallowing. the spin came wine only 11 percent of americans surveyed in roswell. simple believe that the energy crunch was putins fault rather than the result of poor western decision making, running out of scapegoats to blame just as the projections for european economies are getting increasingly grim, the u is finally admitting that they screwed up. now just kidding, they're not the least rhetoric coming from european officials attempts to peg potential future unrest over the looming cost of living and energy crisis on
1:28 pm
populists. a german interior ministry spokesperson has said that quote, we can assume that populists and extremists will again try to influence protests to their liking. and now the interior minister of the german state of north rhine west follies framing those who opposed other extreme government measures as equally unreasonable amid the energy crisis. you can already tell from those who are out there. the protesters no longer talk about cov it or vaccination, but they are now misusing people's worries and fears and other spheres. it's almost something like new enemies of the state who are establishing themselves. so basically the even creates a crisis with their sanctions, which by the way they can reverse at any time make their citizens pay an increasingly high price. then officials portray those who object to their mismanagement as extremists, for all their talk of unity. european official sure are good ad sparking divisions, both among their own citizens and among member states. by the way,
1:29 pm
while norway is currently enjoying record high oil and gas profits, european oil and gas executives are reportedly mumbling discretely about the need to prod are slow into cutting its prices for europe. given that it supplies a quarter of the blocks gas and about 40 per cent to the u. k. so what if norway just says no, is norway going to be framed as a troublesome nationalist? just like you citizens who resist the policies of the block? well, actually, possibly, if a recent op add in the financial times is any indication it is crucial for europe to avoid falling into the resource nationalism trop. no one should suggest that no way be treated as a profit too. but it is worth at least debating if anything can be done to bring down prices. turning up the tops to full capacity is already appreciated. doing it at a price that helps to, to paying for european economies might be
1:30 pm
a noise interests to better citizens. soaring energy bills are also set to rise 80 percent in october with price is increasing by 15 percent just this week. a new citizen movement called don't pay you. k is pledging to stop paying their bills altogether, started october 1st. if the price hikes persist it simple, we are demanding a reduction of energy bills to an affordable level. our leverage is that we will gather a 1000000 people to play no, to pay. if the government goes ahead with another mess of hike on october, the 1st even if a fraction of those of us who are paying by direct debit to stop our payments, it will be enough to put.
