ah, ah ah, rush an air defense system to repel multiple drone attacks by you praying and rushes crimea peninsula. that's according to local authorities. and the u. s. announce, is additional military a to you for a and worth $775000000.00. all russia underlines that have is using such weapons to shell residential areas. also the ran nuclear deal is being torpedoed by. you explained that to ren it's targeting political opponents and american diplomats. and you gas prices, 3rd after gas from shut down to north korea, one pipeline for repairs,

while europeans cry foul over the backlash from their government. thanks. ah, good morning for martine, are national studios in moscow to wherever you may be catching us. i'm fiorella isabel with this ours top news stories from around the world. welcome rushes, air defense units repelled multiple attacks on crimea overnight with the russian peninsula airspace violated by ukrainian drones from different sides r t z or stano. give us more, it is very difficult at this stage to sort 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 as space the and so, russia's defense systems are well worked as they were supposed to. now again,

others, for example, other sources. they say that this could be not a ukrainian drone, but rather ukrainian message or a ukranian 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 attacked 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 is going on there any, any sort of information coming out of this russian peninsula, like even the, even the defense systems just working again as they were supposed to be 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 expert experts have released their opinions. they have stepped forward saying that all of this, that all the slater stacked desilva, ukrainian armed forces and them targeting the russian peninsula. the fish 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. and moving now to america, where the u. s. has announced an additional military aid package,

ukraine worth $775000000.00 in the belief that the conflict is at a near standstill. the package includes additional ammunition for high mart systems and more ho, it serves along with 15 scan, eagle recognizance drones and mine resistant. and armand vehicles, than you are munition 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 start 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, according to don bass and russian officials. they're also being used to shell residential areas of don yeske and other regions controlled by russian lead forces, along with a pre trial detention facility were captured, you free and soldiers were being held which led to the death of 50 p, o, w's and 73 more being injured, a retired us air force lieutenant believes that as long as the conflict continues to be financially profitable, the u. s. will continue supplying ukraine hassles. all of that money goes directly into the pentagon. so the pentagon has received the money and the bank on 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, 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 it? the epoxy is astounding. here. i think in many ways another example of hi marcy hughes occurred in the don bass city of federal darcy. however, a western report has a completely different take on the shelling. the daily mail published a video claiming that the showing us methyl darcy was carried out by russia. yet the people in the footage itself say the town was shelled by nato type artillery and the high mark rocket system, which of course neither russia nor its allies possess. it sparked

a number of mocking commentaries both because the city is under russian. lud forces control and the headline for the video contradicted its content. karen kia koski again says it's not the problem of one outlet. but the problem of journalism in general today, our mainstream were legacy media, has gotten so lazy over the past 30 years. they really just our mouth pieces for government, we don't have an independent media in the united states and we haven't for some time that's, that's kind of the, that's kind of the problem. i don't think individual journalists are, you know, refusing to, to report news, but they are failing to get their fax from any other source except the u. s. government, as more and more of ukraine's neo nazi as off the italian fighters are captured by russian forces. some prisoners are being investigated for

a legit war crimes. former french service men, adrian bouquet, who is known for previous revelations regarding as of actions in the last 8 years of the conflict. visited the groups captive members. a warning, some of them could have been speaking under duress. i am now and he's secret detention center. we're meeting captured officers of the as a battalion who are being kept under strict guard. ah. ah, well, it was exist. as you can see, the tattoos a real, the nazi tattoos your civil so i think is slightly camouflage, to crosses are chained on a bit different. they've signatures. look, this is a painted swastika. here's another image in a similar style. here are other symbols to look at this one at the top, there's

a helmet of the s s guard. and this is the small charge. there are hundreds of fighters covered with s s rooms and swastikas. when i say hundreds, i mean 100 is. 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've got the orders. well, not exactly. it was dark. the bus had tinted windows and the driver didn't stop on demand. do you understand that what you have done is a war crime. turns out that i do. while you were hiding that as of style

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. a new iraq nuclear deal appears closer than ever with both the u. s. and around declaring readiness for talks. but that's a made an unprecedented level of tension between the 2 with washington accusing its long time rival of terrorizing american officials. while the u. s. department of justice claims ita and attempted to murder former national security adviser john bolton. iranian hackers have also attempted to online fishing operations on members of a u. s. non profit dedicated to stopping. he runs nuclear capability. that's according

to a new article in the online magazine dispatch. 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. meanwhile, the justice department officials release documents that they, they prove unrealized attempts to murder bolton. that's easier on cancels they demand this all make revolutionary guard corpse be removed from the u. s. c. department's list of terrorist organizations, which signifies a step forward to a new deal. christopher, hello ali. political analyst and researcher says, what are the major issues affecting relations is america's disapproval of trans relationship with its foreign partners. i see that this report is again, part of the iranian phobia that's pervasive amongst the ruling class in the leaps

in washington. and what we see here again, is akin to what we saw with russia gates, where the allegations are being put on the iranian government. in the midst of the re negotiate ssion of the, of a new nuclear agreement, hopefully going back to what the j. c, p a was, this is just propaganda coming out of a washington with the help of a langley. and i wouldn't put any merit in this in this propaganda. it seems like part of the america 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 is relations with iran? the failures come primarily from the fact that iran will not come out to the united states, nor to its interior with policies in the middle east. iran wants to pursue its own line, 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 have dec is prime minister because he wanted to nationalize the oil in iran. and this has continued through since the revolution 979. iran has pursued a policy of strategic partnerships with the, with the similar minded governments that 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. ah, out of the ashes of the us, he gemini, 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 in accounts, and united states didn't do it. and in fact, what even more pressure, so there's no way that iran could trust 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, p. o, a. but i don't see that happening right now. to europe. now we're gas prices have

risen sharply after russia gas problem on friday. announce a temporary pause in the transit of gas to the e. u for a scheduled pipeline maintenance. european gas prices shot up nearly 5 percent after the news was announced with the north shore 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 possible with winter fast approaching. the federal minister of economics must do everything to ensure that we have more energy available. which would open north 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 quote, survive the winter. stressing that it is the federal government's primary duty.

some businesses support the lifting of sanctions with an open letter urging chancellor shoulds 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 war 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 with an increasing number of europeans voicing their anger, a german minister has branded those speaking out as enemies of the state are t contributor rachel mars than has more. so basically the eve creates a crisis with their sanctions, which by the way they can reverse at any time make their citizens paying increasingly high price beneficial to portray those who object to their mismanagement as extremists,

a german interior ministry spokesperson has said that quote, we can assume that populace 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 protestors no longer talk about cov it or vaccination, but they are now misusing people's worries and fears and others fears. it's almost something like new enemies of the state who are establishing themselves. writing escape goes to blame just as the projections for european economies are getting increasingly grin the u. s. 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 to norway 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 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 stop 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 in the other mess of hike on october. the 1st. even if a fraction of those of us who are paying 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 pin officials going to do? slap the populist or extremist label on every retirees pension doesn't cover their winter heating bill, and has the audacity to complain about it. well, at this point, i wouldn't put anything past them. sanctions crippling european economies have hardly affected russia, despite europe's expectations. that's according to the hungarian prime minister in an interview with a german newspaper. firstly,

the west cannot win the ukraine war militarily. secondly, the sanctions have in no way destabilized 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. it's not the 1st time that victor or bon has criticized the e. u. sanctions having previously also call them counterintuitive while calling for peace. tots. we spoke with a senior research fellow at the global policy institute of london who says that the west is finding itself ever isolated. to me saying basically the west is finding itself increasingly isolated that made this into this crime issue of foreign policy. but the rest of the world just simply isn't buying water with filings and various reasons for it. they obviously enter the waste and the non western

countries like india and china. i have pretty much said that this major expansion in the face of roses washing position was bound to end in there just there's just been no way that the web can bore in and expect your grades went the way to go into the military. so, but the outcome again would be very questionable. the west is in any real position to wage a war in the eastern europe. they don't have the manpower they don't have the means of getting military material that. so i think is right. i know that this is the policy that makes very little sense and it's just them to the destructiveness for the sake of destructiveness. turkey is threatening to scrap an

agreement that would let finland and sweden join nato on car once the 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 doubting 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, sweden and finland agreed to extradite dozens of people on choruses as terrorists on the understanding that turkey would lift its opposition to the nordic countries . joining nato. my colleague, nicky, are in discuss the current state of turkey. nato relations with vienna's with conan . he finished journalist and political analysts. this memorandum which was made in madrid. it's an open chick for turkey to, to basically demand what ever it once i thing the, to the turkeys your post. true

a position in natal. we are no witnessing a collapse of the western power structure. i suppose, if anyone with a nice how he's going to have the power to persuade and turn he won. whether it's going to be the u. s. because of cause natal is funded and essentially led by the u . s. isn't it? do you think they have the power with losing all its interest in for us in the middle east and, and are russia and china and turkey taking the whole middle east control? we have moved to contain the west of a situation and turkeys giving a great hand in order to, to preserve and not the world to fall to chaos. i think that if it goes to debt, though, turkey will be kicked off of nature. but what this to nature without jerky it's then it means that it's with dog, middle east. it's, you know, it's loses, it's one of the core forces they are listening. what are the gun

has to say? oh, here to con wants to make a felon and sweden to collapse from his side. he can do it. he has hold tools to do it. and, and it's interesting that we are for the situation that to northern countries are going to rule for franklin. it's partly connected to diesel, blocking the natural oh, coming to russian, northern borders and what's happening, knowing our munoz brights on in the black sea, it's all connected. what's happening in cream? ah, malaysia sex foreign minister is to make one last effort to overthrow a court ruling that found him guilty of corruption, thus banning him from office. now g brazza's denies the accusations, claiming the cases politically motivated and the judge was biased, rasa was voted out of office in 2018 and arrested shortly after. when the country's new leaders accused him of power abuse and money laundering, including the theft,

a $4500000000.00 us dollars from one m. d. b, malaysia, state funded say, investment fund. in 2020. he was sentenced to 12 years in jail. but now his attorney is challenging the outcome while his client is out of prison on appeal. it comes as the country hold snap elections was rather party attempting to achieve a political comeback. one m d b was co founded by rossa. while he was prime minister to promote economic development, but on being voted from office, he was accused of abusing his position to illegally receive at least 1000000000 from the fund with the help of goldman sachs bank eurasia center vice president. earl rasmussen, details u. s. involvement, it's his word again against the government. and i'm sure the u. s. has got a role here because we know that that goldman sachs is involved. we know the u. s.

has, has had a plea bargain with one senior fish and found guilty. the key manager for that, for that area of the world. so, you know, there's, there's, there's an aspect, those evidence being handled by the us. it's probably being turned over or confronted with, with malaysia, out of the whole thing there, the, the, you know, who's close to who's to say that needs correct. and then he got, this is his, we're, who's the say that he's not misled. you know, it's the government, the bringing the case, the government probably backed by the us government. that's providing whatever evidence being you yes, an uphill battle. lemme, but this was the judge actually biased to the left. another question on that.

moving on to latin america, we're brazil's former left us leader lula desilva remains a front runner and presidential elections scheduled for october. the silva who's served as president for 7 years in 2003 received 47 percent of support in a recent opinion full. while acting president jar ball so narrow a right wing politician receive 32 percent. what is at stake at this moment as democracy against fascism? what is at stake at this moment as democracy against barbarism? we guarantee that 33000000 brazilians can have coffee, lunch, and dinner every day, or they will die of hunger. i am overcome with emotion to be back here, which led me to a rebirth that saved me to become president of the republic, which was the best thing for our country. earlier we spoke to a political scientist who thinks that this by balls and arrow still being in the

race lula has the momentum nowadays in brazil, the only stability principle is i wouldn't be an instructor just valuable on auto, who, even if they talk, trump has done in january, the 6th, 2020 want us to many generals i would say manage in there was not all of them with many dinners are trying to force the electro for to not esteem the electronic walton review because we have a very reliable system ending system saying that the system is not reliable. there are many gunmen in brazil, more than 600 people ask walter zation to have guns in review because of course or not. and he may have some possibility to go to the 2nd round. but nowadays, i would say very consolidated, like the 1st position, almost green in the 1st round, and will not of trying to pull it. and now to our special coverage on last

year's us withdrawal from afghanistan, 12 months on tens of thousands of afghans who collaborated with washington still cannot get the special visas promise to them. ah, or message to those women and men is clear. there is a home for you in the united states. if you so choose, we will stand with you just as you stood with us. ah, ship each other, can i move the night? the telephone captured the province? we were in harass. we fled to flora and then to how monday port we arrived and campbell with lots of difficulties as each plane took off, we hoped to be on the next. we tried always to get out. there was a nightmare for my family and me. it's been 11 months since then, but i still have the same nightmare

content. a gun is facing questions about whether u. s. troops may have shot afghan civilians following a devastating suicide bonding last year. the dental mm hm. although i have been living in albania for less than a year, we are in a tough situation. we abandoned our lives and came here. we worked in afghanistan, we had jobs, but now we don't. we do not know what to do. what will happen to our lives and future? i urge the americans to pay attention to afghan citizens living in 3rd countries. we are waiting for our cases to be processed, but in the past 11 months we have not received any answer

but to give sag, set it up on our return to our country depends on the economic situation insecure. the issue as canister must be in contact with the international community and people must be assured that they are living in a secure, economically good situation. that is not the case. now. there's more special coverage on last year's u. s. k arctic pull out and it's global consequences to come this month on our t no nation. no nation is ever done anything like it in all history with.
