a gift, a group, when you, when you spin with netflix and hulu, the school's a delusion, global put, you know, the machine with, as you can see, the building is there still have blaze as wire fighters are trying to put it out. that's all it to be careful because their root can collapse at any time. our correspondent reports from a done yet shopping center engulfed in a must have blaze out. their local officials report shelling by ukrainian forces also head on the program r t gains access to those off erosion nuclear power plants, as russia calls for the international atomic energy agency to visit this site with constant missiles fired up the plant stoking fears of a church noble asked nuclear disaster. you can judge for yourself about the danger

of such attacks. literally a 150 meters from here is the plants, 5th power unit. and it is still working with the world health organization war and the unfolding humanitarian crisis in ethiopia is worse than what's happening on the ground in ukraine. despite most of the 8 available flowing to keith. and india will forge its own way in the world and not give into external pressure. what the countries ambassador to russia tells india always takes decisions on its own, based on its own national interest. and keeping in mind whatever it feels is best for its own country. people, and that is how we, we continue to work with for moscow. this is our t. my name's unit leland 30 minutes of news and views starting out. the u. s. wants to see russia's strategic exhaustion. lance,

according to russia's defense minister surrogate show who, who is speaking at a defense meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization. minister of chicago, also reiterated that russia is seeking to minimize casualties among civilians in the ukraine company. good spirits in missouri, missouri is military operation. the ukraine, russia 40 follows the norms of humanitarian law strikes. it carried out with precision weapons on ukrainian military infrastructure. everything is being done to avoid civilian casualties. of course is slow down the pace of the offensive, but we're doing this deliberately, or the military of race is being conducted in accordance to the original plan. all tossed is to be completed. the goal of the u. s. and it's accomplices, is to bring about rushes, strategic exhaustion in order to eliminate its competition in geopolitical phase, as want us to warn other states from pursuing independent foreign policies. while, while russia stress is that it's trying to minimize civilian casualties, as we just heard

a shopping center and done yet has been hit in shelling that local officials are blaming on ukrainian forces. the building was soon engulfed in flames, or a correspondent remind costumes in the city he sent us. the boy were driving along with a de net skull fire department said to a supermarket that was as rock early in the morning. here in don as fumes of smoke can be seen from every port of this city. apparently, a fire department from all over that sound are there on the scene at the moment. fire fighters are still fighting at the blaze of this supermarket. you can see plumes of smoke are still everywhere. now this says supermarkets or a mega market, as they call it here, sells everything from a food items to a medicine, to anything else that the locals might needa. i myself picks up humanitarian aid from

a this supermarket numerous times in order to deliver it to places. so here in the next people republic where they needed now, the firefighters just asked me to move over to just a bit in case just to put us out of danger if you will. now at the moment, local authorities are reporting that there were several strikes against this supermarket right now. it looks like it's completely destroyed, asked for the situation around this area. now there isn't as single military as structure here. so it looks like it's so obvious that the target was a civilian infrastructure. the strike took place at 10 o'clock in the morning. the supermarket was open at 8 o'clock and i have his place is very popular among the local residents. as you can see, the building is this still a blaze as a wire fighters are trying to put it out. that's all it to be careful because the root can collapse at any time. employees of the supermarket are now trying to

salvage as much of merchandise as possible at the moment that they can't even speak so as they can't even give us the account. because there's still quite a lot to be done from on coffer m r t. the nest people's republic. well, the long awaited mission by the international atomic energy agency to these up erosion nuclear power plant could take place within days. that's according to the bodies director general. the facility under russian military control has come under a continued shelling in recent weeks with moscow blaming ukrainian forces for the bombardment. the plants is the largest nuclear power station in europe and the shelling there has stopped fears of a nuclear catastrophe. but the potential to be worse than the chernobyl disaster experts also state such an incident could affect many countries, neighboring ukraine, reaching even to turkey. ortiz alexi rappin is the 1st international journalist to

report from the sprawling territory group. each of you will be up and they look for us dancers largest power plant in europe. supp rosure is being shell daily by the cranium military. recently as a result of yet another attack, once the billing was killed on the spot, and yet another was fatally wounded. still, the station continues to operate with its reactors, generating energy with just mark ones are club no either. that's awesome that we're currently near one of the pumping stations up as upper ocean nuclear plant. ukrainian shell landed here in late july. you can see the consequences of that showing right now for yourself, but this station continues to work as the main equipment is located in the basement model. when you, all the while at the water continued to ditch this crater within the vicinity of the cleaning facilities. was created last saturday due to shelling by ukrainian

forces. you can judge for yourself about the danger of such attacks. literally a 150 meters from here is the plants, 5th, power unit trouble. and it is still working just around the corner. another though, i mean that it's on the floor at the moment, the radiation at the station as well as the surrounding areas is within norms. the showing that mostly auxiliary equipment, hydrogen and oxygen facilities. we're trying to repair the damage as soon as possible, so that the nuclear plant will not have to halt its operations. i deem though on that he 12345. you can lose cow when you look at this building and try to figure out how many shells landed here quickly. but the defense ministry has accurate statistics on how many times ukrainian forces fired at this approach in nuclear plant, grain ski. and it is ready to share that data with the global community, including with the i e a. but no one is in a hurry to come here yet. but at this approaching nuclear plant out of 6 power

units, 3 or under scheduled repair to are working normally. and one is working at about 10 percent of its capacity to insure its own safety. with the cooling system. beauties deploy beseechingly shattered glass walls damaged by shrapnel. this is the lesser evil that can happen as a result of artillery shelling of a nuclear power plant in russia. even according to the most conservative estimates, in the event of a detonation of the nuclear reactor, a radioactive cloud could cover half of europe. it would take at least a decade to eliminate all of the consequences due to it as the puddle sky is defeated, the territory of this approaching plant is really impressive. it takes at least an hour to just walk around the power units. but from the view of a satellite, a reconnaissance drone, the entire territory can be seen all at once. if russian heavy artillery was located here, that would have become public knowledge long ago, the photos would have been published all over the media. but that is not happening because there was no heavy russian weaponry here. photography of a week,

the west is deliberately concealing key of shelling of the zappa rogia plants, making russia a scapegoat for everything. that's what mosque was invoice to the u. n said of a security council meeting on tuesday. the seemingly worsening situation at the plant which was attacked again in recent days was on the agenda. russia's representative reiterated that moscow does not use the facility for any military purposes. those who are new, i think us listen to start today. we again heard the old broken record, rushes to blame for everything. the real background of the events around this approach in a nuclear power plant is shamelessly hushed up. obvious facts or hinder denied. all this is done with one single purpose to whitewash their key of commanders, no matter what they do. they have carte blanche for the most unreasonable actions in the knowledge that they can be justified by their patron. in any case, contrary to the false claims of the key of regime and as curators, russia does not deploy heavy weapons on the territory of the nuclear power plant

and does not use the station for military purposes. the russian defense ministry is ready to provide the international atomic energy agency with high resolution images will show that weapons, especially heavy ones, are not located on the territory of the plant. now, despite an energy crisis taking hold in the e. u, poland, presidents as calling for the dismantling. now the nord stream to pipeline, which was built to supply gas from russia to europe. well, let's get the take on this from r t contributor rachel marston. hi, rachel. yeah, it appears e u. countries want to get gas prices under control, but at the same time get rid of their dependence on russian gas. tough one. yeah, well, officials across the european union have really been pushing the unity rhetoric really hard lately. but as various member states start eyeing tough times on the horizon with energy inflation and cost of living crises that really, i mean,

it looks like it's going to be tested this solidarity. so some countries are on such a blah blind anti russian footing that they're promoting scorched earth policies. for example, polish. the pools president is now saying that he wants to see the north stream to gas pipeline dismantled, which would literally burn the energy bridge between russia and europe. now these radical remarks come in at a time when germany, which by the way, heavily subsidized as poland through the e. u, is in deep trouble. the german foreign minister spelled out the problem to her eyes, landed counterpart this week. even though it is still bizarre. spelling indies out many people are looking to us with concern for the coming autumn and winter months . more and more people are becoming increasingly aware of the fatal energy dependency on russia. we have brought ourselves to over the years and how urgent it is to advance the energy transition in germany in the interest of the climate and

but also in the interest of our own security, unforgotten, bring this yeah, it wasn't russian gas that was fatal for germany cheap russian gas actually powered germany to the status of the economic and industrial engine of the european union. it was the use own sanctions and germany's total delusion that green energy could somehow do all the heavy lifting without rush and gas. that now in peril. the status. meanwhile, belgian prime minister alexander ger crew is warning of $5.00 to $10.00 difficult winters for europe. oh know what to do, what to do? i don't know, man, maybe just plug your gas back in. and french officials are coming to the realization that france is long neglected nuclear power plants and low water levels for reactor cooling. mean that a return to a greater dependence on nuclear power may not be the panacea that they figured it would be. you may recall that hungry was the only country to initially refused to

cut its own gas supply from russia within the european union. but now fears are reportedly emerging within the ear that bulgaria could be next to come to it senses would not be a horrible thing, right? a new interim government appointed by president room and rod f, who is a former air force chief and mic fighter jet pilot, who apparently isn't prone to the niger across a phobia of his predecessor, who by the way, was ousted in a jew, non confidence vote. might exploit the opportunity had of the october 2nd general election to re establish an energy lifeline with russia. and this is all according to media reports now populist right wing italian prime ministerial, hopeful georgia maloney also slammed the use energy policies on the campaign trail . italy is not an uneasy cetacean, even the best efforts of our government have left us and difficult situation. public debt out of control were in the heart of europe,

in skyrocketing energy prices that had bringing families in businesses to their knees. so energy prices are hitting record highs across europe this week, and governments are now in a race against time to save their own citizens and economies before they crumble under the devastating costs in a situation entirely of their own making. arctic contributor rachel marston taken us through the thanks rachel? well, the she military and disaster unfolding in ethiopia is worse than in ukraine. that's the warning from the head of the world health organization, who's criticized the amount of aid flowing into the country compared to what ukraine has received. i can tell you that the humanitarian crisis integrate is more than the ukraine without any exaggeration. and i said that many months ago, maybe the reason is the color of the skin of the people in grey. i haven't heard in the last few months,

several months now. even the head of state talking about the 2 great condition anywhere in the developed world especially well, let's get more in this with our t corresponding, paula slid. hello, paula. yeah, the w h yo is taping to gray in ethiopia is just one of the regions of the world that remains overlooked due to the focus of un agencies on ukraine ticket through the story. well let's you quickie say to gray is just one example of a global humanitarian crisis. we are here. you are hearing from you in agencies as well as private groups that for this year alone, they need just under $50000000.00 to be able to provide for more than $200000000.00 vulnerable people. now, many of these people are in the middle east and are in africa, and where as the money that has been sent to ukraine has been forthcoming. what we are witnessing is an alarming show forward of money and aid,

reaching the middle east and africa. so of course the question needs to be asked why the discrepancy and this is a question that is pinpointed and highlighted by martin griffith of the united nation. this is the biggest funding gap we've ever seen, mostly because the number of vulnerable people who need support is increasing fast . now in the 1st 7 months of this year, the u. n. was able to raise only a 3rd of the money that is needed at the same time, the money that was needed for the ukraine has been plentiful. so if i could just break that down, you mentioned earlier the t gray region in nor than if the ok. and i can't be seen a civil war since november 2020. and the figures into 4500000 people who are in urgent need of emergency food. off that number 3 quarters of a 1000000 will be starving within the next few weeks. the world food program has

also reported that by october, the year it will have run out of food for people in ethiopia. if you move across to bangladesh, they you have your when the hinge and with the g 's, now we talking here about a 1000000 displaced people who all need emergency assistance. they are fully reliant on that. and any kind of decreased funding will affect shelter will affect nutrition, will affect sanitation. with the result that many of them i'm barking on, dangerous boat journey is to try and reach a better future if you move across to somalia. here, there has been a devastating dropped and the figures point to at least 1000000 people there who are internally displaced and another 7000000 who are facing acute food security or insecurity. at the same time, you have 675003 and refugees in the camp in jordan. they've been there since 2011 and that kemp is an urgent need of prepays. there's no electricity and it's an

alarming humanitarian crisis unfolding there. by comparison, you look at the ukraine. now they had the initial pill went out by the united nations for more than $60000000000.00. that was to assist ukrainian, refugees, both within the country and outside the country. not only was that appeal mate, but even more money was raised. the 2nd appeal is also on track to be met. so of course, the patient needs to be asked why the discrepancy, and this is a question that is answered by the you in agency spokesperson. the war and ukraine has illustrated very starkly how it is possible to rapidly and extensively mobilize support for refugees and respond to humanitarian needs. when political commitment is there, you have a situation. nice way you have agencies like the you and hcr that are having to make it very difficult and distort and heartbreaking choices. the simple reality is

that in the next few months, they will be large numbers of people who are helpless and who are in desperate need of humanitarian help. who was complete not be receiving a polar many thanks for bringing us through that story. our t correspondent, polis lior, not we will continue to make decisions based on our own national interests. that is the clear message from india's ambassador to russia, who is speaking during a commemoration event in moscow, marking 75 years of indian independence. india always takes decisions on its own based on so national interest, obviously there is the new reality. there are, you know, there are many banks which are sanctioned. there are logistical issues. there are payment issues which have to be overcome. we have to find the way of forward. there is tremendous school for increasing all trade. in the con, the corporation you've seen just in the last few months, at a certain change in the direction of trade. we certainly buying lots more oil from

russia and fertilizers also, but i think there's a greater demand from russia for many more products, consumer goods, food processing items, auto parts, or a lot of areas which can get this thing, including of course, traditional items like they're also mocking 75 years of india, russia, diplomatic relations. and i'm sure that this wonderful tradition, we have a friendship and quote, christian will continue well into the future. the legacy of 2 decades of us occupation of afghanistan. all this, not that we're examining the enduring consequences of america's war in the asian nation and our special coverage marking one year since they chaotic final withdrawal of us forces. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history with

will you recall last august life in us gallus unchanged in a matter of days with the collapse of the western back government happening at lightning speed. and in an interview some weeks ago, former president a shrug galley rejected allegations that he had acted like a coward. despite the fact that he fled cable with suitcases stuffed with cash ortiz, racial blevins as the story. one year later former president asher afghani is still defending his role in the swift fall of the afghan government days after the withdrawal of the u. s. military. he claims he was not afraid of the taliban,

even as he made the decision to flee the country. the reason i left was because i did not want to give the taliban and their supporters the pleasure of yet again humiliating in afghan president and making him sign over the legitimacy of the government. i have never been afraid. while he claims there was no fear of the taliban, the former president did express concern over the people who are supposed to be on his side and whether they would turn on him once the constant support they relied on from the u. s. came to an end, but other than the strategy of saving himself, it doesn't appear that connie had much of a planet all for life without us occupation. it also doesn't appear that the biden administration cared in their final phone call just 3 weeks before the fall of the afghan government biden emphasized the need to project a different picture to the world, claiming it would help in the fight against the taliban. you clearly have the best military. you have 300000 well armed forces versus 728-0000. and the clearly

capable of fighting well, we will continue to provide closer support if we know what the plan is and what we're doing and all the way through the end of august. and who knows, waltz after that, i need not tell you the perception around the world, an impulse of, of canister. and i believe is that things aren't going well in terms of the fight against the tolliver. and there's a need whether it is true or not. there is a need to project a different picture, projecting strength and actually having it are clearly 2 different things. but as fighting pointed out, afghan stan was supposed to have the best military. after all, the u. s. had spent $145000000000.00 reconstructing everything from the country, security forces to its government and its economy. the expectation was that such a high investment would guarantee at least some level of success. as the pentagon expected, the troops, they had trained to be ready to defend their own land. this is their country, these are there, these are their military forces. these are their provincial capitals,

their people to defend, but that wasn't what happened. and it seemed that no one wants to accept the blame, certainly not biden, who blamed every one from former president trump to connie insisting that the afghan president assured him that us backed forces would fight. we talked about how afghan, instead should prepared to fight their civil wars. after the u. s. military, depart to clean up the corruption in government. so the government could function for the afghan people. we talked extensively about the need for afghan leaders to unite politically. they feel a do any of us, mr. ghani, who says that the afghan forces would fight but obviously he was wrong yet. they didn't put up a fight at all with some reports even saying that taliban was surprised by just how easy it was to take the nation's capital. of course, connie was a bit busy at the time as he stands accused of taking millions of dollars in cash

with him when he fled the country. 3 weeks after he took a helicopter to safety, the former president made a statement apologizing to the public, which was notably only released in english. it is with deep and profound regret that my own chapter ended in similar tragedy to my predecessors, without ensuring stability and prosperity. i apologize to the afghan people that i could not make it and differently. my commitment to the afghan people has never wavered and will guide me for the rest of my life. it appears as though the years of corruption, that shaped afghanistan after the u. s. invaded, went all the way up to the presidential palace. and while millions of people suffered and hundreds of thousands lost their lives, the politicians of the top were the ones who walked away unharmed. a perfect picture of the legacy left by 20 years of us occupation. rachel blevins with the

reports and you can find more special reports on the consequences of the us withdrawal from afghanistan on ortiz page on the rumble video platform plus plenty more. besides there, do check that for months? the sci fi is old. stell steel plants had been the focus of the ukraine conflict, but civilians were also locked in their homes by ukrainian nationalists in this same city. mario pl. next we tell their story, stick close. ah, ah.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time, time to sit down and talk with

awe. on february, the 24th 2022, russia launched a special military operation in ukraine. the campaigns 1st major battle was an operation to bring the city of murray. you pulled back under the control of pro russian. don bass with

good we'll go with almost 3 months now. alexander had a cough skis unit made up of volunteers from dun ask, has been fighting on the murray you put front of her. can you profit from previous conspirator? i said you're gonna do sir leicester at the foot. you as to restore your direction, you brought the paper, looks the i'm capable of postal room. you might get

a buzz. you sort of a little bit because you'll ah, oh, thank angela. you 14, how to kosky realized they would have to fight in the ukraine's pro russian cities as protests on keys. my dan escalated into st. wolf that someone with nicholas, which he was and some of the news get anybody to us. could you please like okay, hold on with the brochure, somebody promotions or some we do him. blood pressure wasn't almost a deal it.
