[000:00:00;00] a, a with russian air defense systems to repel multiple drone attacks by ukraine and russia by me up. and then a lot that's according to local authorities. and the u. s. announce, is additional military to ukraine worth $775000000.00. while russia underlines that is using such weapons to shell residential areas, e, u, gas prices, 3rd after gas problem shops found an ordinary one pipeline for repairs while europeans pry fall over the backlash from their governments.
10:01 pm
with hello and good morning for martine or national studios in moscow to wherever you may be. watching i'm fiorella is about with ours pub news. stories from around the globe. welcome to the program, rushes, air defense units repels multiple attacks on crimea overnight with the russian peninsulas. airspace violated by ukrainian drones from different sides are cheesy or stano, give the some more details. it is very difficult at this stage to sword facts from say, here, say as to what's going on as to what's happened in crimea. now again, the most basic understanding that we have here right now is that the, what could be a ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle breach the russian ass space there. and so, russia's defense system 0, well worked as they were suppose to now again, others, for example, other sources. they say that this could be not a ukrainian drone,
10:02 pm
but rather ukrainian missile or a ukrainian shell aimed at the peninsula. but again, so far, what has been confirmed that whatever it was, it didn't deal any damage. it didn't cause any destruction on the russian peninsula . so like it is safe. and again, the officials on the ground in crimea, they have released the state and they have stepped forward saying that the peninsula is very, very safe from these attacks. but again, the region is quite a bit on edge right now, because ukraine has made it abundantly clear that it considers crimea a valid target and basically anything, any military will, any military facilities that are located, that while they are, they could be attacks and that they are looking to attack them and again, even the russian federal security service recently had confirmed some successful operations carried out by apparently ukrainian diversion group. so any, anything that's going on there, any,
10:03 pm
any sort of information coming out of this russian peninsula, like even the, even the a defense systems just working again as they were supposed to be a met? well, they are being scrutinized and well people, they do tend to get a little bit nervous, so there you have it. but again, no doubt with no destruction so far and already some experts have released their opinions. they have stepped forward saying that all of this, that all the slater's fact desilva, ukrainian armed forces and them targeting the russian peninsula that this could be just them, testing and seeing if they can, how far they can go, and how far they can get. and what they can achieve and how impenetrable the russian air defenses are, in fact part of the country. moving now to america, where the u. s. has announced an additional military 8 packet, she crane worth $775000000.00 in the belief that the conflict is added near
10:04 pm
standstill. the package includes additional ammunition for hi mm. our systems are more howitzers, along with 15 scan, eagle recognizance drones and mine resistant and armored vehicles. the new ammunition also includes high speed anti radiation missiles, with a range of at least 50 kilometers designed to seek and destroy radar equipped air defense systems. friday's announcement brings us military assistance to key f to 10600000000 since the beginning of biden's administration with the u. s. department of defense. now claiming that the help is forcing russia to pay quote, a high price. we want to make sure that ukraine has a steady stream of ammunition to meet its needs. and that's what we're doing with this package. you're seeing the russians still paying a high price with ukranian attacks, especially using that high mar system. but they are incurring these costs and not able to advance. however, the u. s. supplied weapons are not just being used by ukraine for military purposes,
10:05 pm
according to don bass and russian officials. they are also being used to shall, residential areas of don. yes. and other regions controlled by russian led forces, along with a pre trial detention facility were captured, ukrainian soldiers were being held which led to the deaths of 50 p, o, w's and 73 more being injured. it retired us air force lieutenant believes that while the conflict continues to be financially profitable to the u. s, it will continue with its supplies hassles. all of that money goes directly into the pentagon. so the pentagon has received the money and the pentagon and its contractors are shipping their materials pretty much as soon as they can over to ukraine. but it's not really connected. i don't think to a strategy as much as it is a domestic spending program. none of what the u. s. is providing will assist in any reclaiming of territory. it's simply, in fact,
10:06 pm
increasingly is defensive on what's left of ukraine. and i think as long as there's money to be made between the ukranian elite and the, the military industrial establishment in the united states and, and some of the other european countries as long as money is, is it long as this war is profitable? it's going to continue for them, so they're not going to acknowledge anything. this is, the hypocrisy is astounding. here, i think in many ways, and as he ever dobbs, the law branding those who take humanitarian aid from russia as criminals, artes rom, on closer a visits the people of mario bull, to ask what they make of the new legislation ukraine has passed and you so cold collaborator, to so law on august 16th and making any one in ukraine who accepts humanitarian aid from russia. a criminal. we are now in murray pull at one of the distribution centers where people come to receive this humanitarian aid that you law makes all
10:07 pm
these people, potential criminals. and so we've talked to a few of them and they share their opinions with us about what they think about the new law. how can we get a moment of your focus? perfect. i how can people live without feeling? most of mary, you, paul city, is now out of work. they have nowhere to get food. such laws can only be passed by terrorists. it's everything in their mind. i think it's not normal. even if you have sent its own help, it would be strange, but they do not send anything and have forbid people from taking someone else's aid . although people just need food so as not to starve, and they want to sentence them. only not well in a sort of shamella. well, i have 2 small children in russia has really helped us. when my son got a loaf of bread he was happier than ever before. but is that a crime on our part? yes. yes ma'am. and the media who are the, should we have starved to death, with all due respect to ukraine, they did not help us at all when you called neither the military nor the state. while the russian military was giving us water to drink,
10:08 pm
people were drinking from puddles out of sheer thirst. i would like to ask, what, with those who adopted this law banning them from receiving aid do starved. i don't want anyone to go through what we went through this humanitarian aid sensor in murray, who pull is a fully loaded. it even has a children's center right here where kids can play while their parents are receiving them. much needed humanitarian aid. now this particular center used to serve at least 7000 people per day, at the peak or 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 collaboration is thank he is still considers these people ukrainians. each one of these people receiving a human to serenade is a suspect including their kids from on call for have arti,
10:09 pm
maria, hold on, ask people's republic. i think it's absurd and i think it's wrong, obviously. i mean, how could bringing humanitarian aid be collaboration, nist of anything that is considered condemned double, right. i think we should encourage people to bring humana, cherry, and aid. i think we should encourage russia to bring humana cherry in a do you crane. why would you create a disincentive to doing that, even to criminalize bringing humanitarian 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. as more and more of ukraine's neo nazi as off battalion fighters are captured by russian forces, some prisoners are being investigated for
10:10 pm
a legit war crimes from her french service men. adrian bouquet, who is known for his previous revelations of as of actions over the last 8 years of the conflict, visited the battalions captive members. a warning, some of them could have been speaking under dress. 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 ah. well, it just was exist. as you can see, the tattoos a real, the nazi tattoos your civil is slightly camouflage. crosses are change a bit different. the signatures. look, this is a painted swastika. here is another of similar dial. our other symbols. look at this one, the top, there's
10:11 pm
a helmet of the s s guard i any small. there are hundreds of fighters with s. s. rooms and swastikas, when i say hundreds, i mean, and this is just one example to show you. it's a reality i have you ever killed or shot civilians? nation by orders of my commanders. i shot the vehicle was carrying people know. so you were shooting an unarmed civilians only because you got the orders. well, not exactly. it was dark. the bus had tinted windows and the driver didn't stop on
10:12 pm
demand. do you understand what you have done is a war crime. turns out that i do, those that are, while you were hiding it, it has of stop plant. did you know women and children were dying from the shells hitting their flaps in the center of don't ask. there was a war going on and there are 2 sides, not one engaged in the fighting. ah, turkey is threatening to scrap in agreement that would let finland and sweden join nato. and karl wants to nordic countries to fulfill their side of a deal that would see dozens of suspects wanted on terrorism charges extradited to turkey. but so far sweden has only handed over one person a fraudster previously convicted in turkey. if they think that by extra diving, ordinary criminals to turkey, they will make us believe that they have fulfilled their promises. they are wrong. nobody should test turkey back in june,
10:13 pm
sweden and finland agree to extradite dozens of people on chorus. cities as terrorists on the understanding that turkey would lift its opposition to the nordic countries. joining nato, my colleague nikki, around discuss the current state of turkey. nato relations with janice, put coke, conan, a, finish journalist and political analysts. this memorandum which was made in madrid. it's an open check for cherokee to, to basically demand what ever it once. i think that the church is the opposite. true, a position in a don't. we are now witnessing a collapse of the western power structure. i suppose if anyone with a nice how is going to have the power to persuade you one way the other is going to be the us because of because nathan was funded and essentially led by the u. s. isn't it? do you think they have the power, with losing all its influence in the middle east and, and russia and china and turkey taking the whole middle east control. we have moved
10:14 pm
to contain the west of situation. and turkey's giving a great hand in order to, to preserve and not the, the well to, to fall to pay us. i think that if it goes to debt jerky will be kicked out of nature. but what they need to without jerky it's then it means the digital middle is the it's you know, it, it's loses. it's one of the core forces. they are listening water air to gun has to say if o air to con wants to make of finland and sweden to collapse from inside. he doesn't do it. he has all the tools to do it. and it's interesting that we have for the situation that to northern countries are in the rule of anchor. it's highly connected to dis, blocking the natal coming to russian northern borders and what's happening now in
10:15 pm
armenia bites on in the black sea. it's all connected. what's happening in crane that there isn't any scandal involving western media coverage as a recent deadly shelling of the town of sped le dusk in the dawn. yes, republican loco say at least 3 people have been killed, including a child and have blamed ukraine. but some western outlets are accusing russia. juno is dead. the whist, it's absolutely did. and it's so sad to see. oh, i have witnessed 1st hand hold these. oh, a professional lawyers do their job in comfort zones. i am, we were sheltered by craniums when i was in position with the british journalist. and afterwards, they accuse that i ordered personally from our troops to show us so that we can flip blame that through cranium childers. and you know, oh, these distortion off to reality is absolutely in the madness level. so what do you
10:16 pm
think western countries are hoping to achieve with that? continued a supplies of heavy weapons to ukraine to look before the last cranium. play some time. hope something good to happen, which safe there. oh, the them from the, from the responsibilities to, to, to widen the corporate to open another conference due to distort, to people's mind. gas prices in the you have risen sharply after rushes. gas from on friday announced a temporary pause in the transit of gas to europe. for scheduled maintenance, european gas prices shot up nearly 5 percent after the news was announced with the north stream one pipeline now scheduled to be closed between august 31st and september 2nd. and that comes on top of what is already a tenfold rise. the vice president of the german parliament has called for a band to be lifted on the opening of the north stream to pipeline as soon as
10:17 pm
possible with winter fast approaching. the federal minister of economics must do everything to ensure that we have more energy available. which would open nord stream to as soon as possible to fill our gas storage facilities for the winter. getting gas from nordstrom to is no more immoral than from north stream. one is just a different tube. the politicians stress that if the pipeline is unblocked, it will allow germans to survive this winter stress thing. that's the federal government's primary duty, some business to support the lifting of sanctions with an open letter urging chancellor shawl to end the barrier for the benefit of the german people. we is craftsman, 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 the energy crisis deepens,
10:18 pm
with an increasing number of europeans voicing their anger, a german minister has branded those speaking out as enemies of the state. archie, contributor rachel marston has more. so basically the ear 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. 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 running out
10:19 pm
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. by the way, while norway is currently enjoying record high oil and gas profits, european oil and gas executives are reportedly mumbling discreetly about the need to prod oslo into cutting its prices for europe. 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 ed 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 profiteer, but it is worth at least debating if anything can be done to bring down prices.
10:20 pm
turning up the tops to full capacity is already appreciated. doing it at a price that helps soothe the paying for european economies might be a noise interests to british 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 start paying their bills altogether, started october 1st. if the price hikes persist, it's simple. we are demanding a reduction of energy bills to an affordable level. our leverage is that we will gather a 1000000 people to pledge 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 pained by direct debit stop our payments, it will be enough to put energy companies in serious trouble. and they know this. we want to bring them to the table and force them to end this crisis. what are your p and officials going to do?
10:21 pm
slap the populist or extremist label on every retiree who's pension doesn't cover their winter heating bill, and has the audacity to complain about it. while at this point, i wouldn't put anything past them. a clandestine operation by either on focus is on diplomats and political opponents in the u. s. according to a new article in the online publication dispatch, a claim surveillance in cyber operations are targeting members of the united states against nuclear iran organization. including at seo and an american building our funder. the threat existed from the very beginning. it's just gotten more and more pervasive. the threats to americans are multiple, pervasive, and systematic. i'm not aware of any time in our history that a hostile foreign government is systematically and pervasively targeting attacks on american soil against americans. according to the report suspected iranian hackers have attempted to carry out various online fishing operations on you on the members
10:22 pm
in some cases, impersonating its leaders. the alleged surveillance comes as eden targets, former u. s. government officials, such as former national security adviser, john bolton. but biden's administration has repeatedly declared its readiness to engage and talks with it on as tensions continue after the u. s. withdrew from the iran nuclear deal less cross live now to christopher hall, ali political analyst and researcher. what do you make of this report? well, thank you very much for having me. i see that this report is again, part of the iranian phobia that's pervasive amongst the ruling class and deletes in washington. and what we see here again is the akin to what we saw with russia gate . where does the allegations are being put on the iranian government in the midst of the renegotiate mission of the, of a new nuclear agreement,
10:23 pm
hopefully going back to what the j. c p a was. but there is a lot of pressure, both within the establishment amongst the national security officials and from the israelis to ensure that the deal falls through and that iran remains a pariah state for the united states. and that the pressure increases the point of war. so this is just propaganda coming out of washington with the help of the langley and all of the, the national security rules that are behind the c. and i wouldn't put any merit in this in this propaganda. so it seems like part of the american lee is trying to disrupt a potential deal between iran and the united states. what do you think is the reason for the failure of the united states as relations with iran? the failures come primarily from the fact that iran will not come out to the united states, nor do it until its policies in the middle east. iran wants to pursue its own line,
10:24 pm
both in foreign policy, in domestic policy and with its relations with other international partners. the united states doesn't approve of that, of course. and this has been ongoing since the fifty's when the c a and my 6 over through must had dec is prime minister because he wanted to nationalize the oil in iran. and this has continued through since the revolution and 979. iran has pursued a policy of strategic partnerships with the, with the similar minded governments throughout the world. and that's why we see the strengthening of relations with iran today with russia, with china, venezuela, and many other countries that seek to build a multi polar world out of the ashes of the u. s. he gemini, and the imperialism of the past. you know, 30 years that the united states and nato have killed so many people in the region. your son hasn't done that, you run has been the front of fighting against dash against isis against all the jazz forces in the region and trying to bring stability. whereas the u. s. clients
10:25 pm
in the region like saudi arabia and the u. a have wreaked havoc and destruction. not only in yemen, but in the area, and in other parts of, of the middle east in north africa. so this is just prolonging these endless wars. and continuing the policy of regime change and fattening and lining the pockets of the military industrial complex. as you mention with the history after many decades of confrontation, do you believe iran will ever trust the united states and what is the next move for iran? look year and took a risk when it signed the joint comprehensive plan of action, the j. c. p. o, a, the so called the nuclear deal under the obama administration. iran took a risk year and said ok, you know, we have the hard liners saying, let's not trust them. and the reform is say, no, no, let's trust them this time. maybe something will come of it. and that a form is reproved the wrong because within just a few years, it was already torn up. the u. s. unilaterally withdrew from the deal,
10:26 pm
and it only proved the fears of those in iran who say that you cannot trust united states. you cannot trust the european union there to face their liars, their scoundrels, and their pirates. and so the ends up being the fact. the fact is that the united states withdrew from the deal went further sanctions and pressured the part of this maximum pressure campaign to ensure that regime change happens. and in the meantime, is plundering the oil of syria is continuing a bunch of operations everywhere throughout the region and wreaking havoc. so you run says, how can we trust united states when we put our trust in them? and they promised us sanctions relief. and to get our money back, that was frozen an account, and united states didn't do it. and in fact, would even more pressure even saying that the legitimate governments, military forces, the, i are, you know, they run the revolutionary guard court. are now terrorist and united states bunch of data and goes to q general full of money,
10:27 pm
the number one general in the fight against isis. so there's no way that iran could just united states at this point, unless the united states comes and does what's what it, what it was supposed to do in the j. c. a. but i don't see that happening right now . and do you think the u. s. is ready at all to make any serious concessions if iran actually agrees to washington's terms on the deal, do you, do you even believe that washington will lift sanctions against her on? i don't think so. i don't think so because not only the pressure domestically, but the pressure from israel on the, on the united states. so, you know, political establishment to ensure that the nuclear deal doesn't happen. and then maximum pressure is kept on iran. i don't think united states will do anything in that in that realm. and iraq is clear that it has red lines. it's foreign ministry has said, so it said it during the viet fucks and iraq will not budge on those red lines you're on is willing to negotiate on certain things that were part of the j. c, p. o, a. but to go beyond that, you run is not willing, and the united states i am i a guarantee is a, is,
10:28 pm
is very much not willing to do any relief. and in fact, our parts of the, of the establishment, the more hawkish part that would like to see a war with iran, and they are bloodthirsty. and we've seen it for the past 2 decades. and that's my biggest fear, christopher, hello, a political analyst and researcher. thank you. thank you very much. ah, a new chinese government meals highlighting american policy. foreign failures is enjoying $37000.00 likes on twitter. that has relations between the 2 countries. continue to simmer on the back of controversial high level us government visits to taipei. every one needs a clear understanding of himself, said as a nation in published by a spokesperson, 14 as ministry of foreign affairs highlights u. s. foreign military actions seen by many as failures and finishes with an image of the destruction of the world trade center on 911. we spoke to angela juliano,
10:29 pm
a political and financial analyst who sees the meal as a legitimate attempt to highlight american epoch or see when it comes to its international affairs. china has clearly understood that the long term plan of the u. s. is to do something similar to ukraine, fight russia, you claim the fight, rush out in the last equation or to the last european. what they want to do in taiwan is exactly the same fights china, up to the last time when nice all to the last japanese or to the last asian. so china now is getting much more aggressive, the exposing what the u. s. as being doing over the last decades, all the crimes against humanity, it is a, you know, the exposing the us for what it is. the us is doing, victor signaling around the world. it is pretty much similar to what if hitler was actually talking about human rights of jews. 70 years ago would be exactly the same
10:30 pm
. it's a pure poker c, and it's just, it just in china is actually exposing death and glove off. and now to our special coverage on last year's us withdrawal from f, ganeth and 12 months on tens of thousands of afghans who collaborated with washington still cannot get the special visas promise to them. the me and a message to those women and men is clear. there is a home for you in the united states, if you so choose. and we'll stay with you. just as you stood with the old fabric in the ton of and captured the province. we were in wrath. we fled to far and then to helman. therefore,
