4:03 pm
a fire department from all over that's out there on the scene at the moment firefighters 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's the locals might need. i myself picks up human. it's aaron aid from a this supermarket numerous times in order to deliver it to places here. and then as people republic where they needed. now the firefighters just asked me to move over 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
4:04 pm
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 this place is very popular among the local residents. as you can see, the building is still ablaze, as i fire fighters are trying to put it out. that's all it to be careful because their root can collapse at any time. employees of the supermarket are now trying to salvage as much of merchandise as possible at the moment they can even speak to us. they can even give us the account because there's still quite a lot to be done. room on coffer, m r t. vanessa people's republic. ah, the humanitarian disaster on falling in ethiopia is worse than in ukraine. that's the warning from the head of the world health organization who's criticized the
4:05 pm
lack of funds flowing into the country compared to what keith is receiving. i can tell you that the humanitarian crisis integrated more than you crate, without in exaggeration. and i said many months ago may be the reason these, the color of the scheme of the people into dry. i haven't heard of been the last 5 few months, several months now, even ahead of state talking about that too like condition anywhere in the develop good, especially to gray is just one example of a global humanitarian crisis. we are here. you're hearing from you in agencies as well as private groups that for this year alone, they need just under $50000000000.00 to be able to provide for the 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
4:06 pm
are witnessing is an alarming short forward of many, an aide reaching the middle east and africa. it's, of course the question needs to be asked why the discrepancy and this is a question that is pinpointed and highlighted by martin buffets of the united nations. this is the biggest funding gap we've ever seen, mostly because the number of vulnerable people who need support is increasing faster. 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 to grade region ignore than ethiopian, i can't, there's been a civil war since november, 2020. and the figures point to 4500000 people who are in urgent need of emergency food. of 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,
4:07 pm
this year it will have run out of food for people in ethiopia. if you move across to bangladesh, there you have your range of refugees. now we're 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 result that many of them i'm barking on dangerous boat journeys to try and reach a bit of you check if you move across to somalia. here, there has been a devastating drought and a fixed point to at least 1000000 people there who are internally displaced. and another 7000000 who are facing acute, sued security or insecurity. at the same time, you have 7675000 syrian refugees in a camp in jordan. they've been they since 2011 and that kemp is an urgent need of repairs. there's no electricity. and there's an alarming humanitarian crisis
4:08 pm
unfolding there. by comparison, you look at the ukraine now they the initial pill went out by the united nations for morning, $6000000000.00. that was to assist ukrainian, refugees, both within the country and outside the country. not only was that appeal mates, but even more money was raised. the 2nd appeal is also on track to being mate. so of course the question needs to be asked why the discrepancy? and this is the 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, the 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,
4:09 pm
they will be large numbers of people who are helpless and who are in desperate need of humanitarian help. who was simply not be receiving us. interesting with his story, the head of the red cross delegation to russia and bella, bruce, john entwistle told us donations to the organizations african missions are lacking . ready as sequential a. ready timeline and. ready the crisis in africa was launched an additional with tional ongoing support. and while he was crisis a multiple recently, so we'll see success by 3 by as situation last week with national society we've been without happens to. ready a multitude across the globe
4:10 pm
we will continue to make decisions based on our own national interests. that's the message from india's ambassador to russia who is speaking during a commemoration events in moscow marking 75 years of indian independence. on one such decision is strengthening ties with russia. new delhi has already increased its oil purchases from moscow which reached the record level in june. an india is set to further deepen relations with russia in the military sphere as well, with the 2 nations taking part in joint exercises later this month. the country's envoy to moscow, se there's plenty more room for cooperation in the future to india always takes decisions on its own based on the 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
4:11 pm
have to find the way forward. there is tremendous scope for increasing all trade in economy cooperation. you've seen just in the last few months at a certain change in the direction of trade. we're 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. and so a lot of areas we can get this thing including of course, traditional items like textiles, t pharmaceuticals. so i think we have to push, and i think all these areas, including many more, will also get a push, hopefully very soon in the future. but also marking 75 years of india, russia, diplomatic relations. and i'm sure that this wonderful tradition, we have friendship and corporations will continue, went into the future. ah, washington has warned venezuela about the already tough sanctions. it suffers could be tightened further, still less, it behaves more democratically unfriendly towards the us. our sanctions on the memorial regime remain in place. they will remain in place until and unless there
4:12 pm
is demonstrable progress towards the filling the democratic aspirations of the venezuelan people. if the material regime fails to make good on its pledge to negotiate in good faith, we also have the potential to calibrate those sanctions in the other direction. we're back in may washington, ortho rice, shipments of water from venezuela to europe. as long as the money was used to pay off accumulated debt, venice will an oil company out of that followed a 2 year suspension of experts under us lead sanctions report suggest. washington was seeking to help europe address its energy crisis amid skyrocketing prices. but now caracas has halted those all shipments to europe, reportedly saying it instead, once refine fuels from european producers in exchange for crude latin american studies professor of the city university of new york daniel shore.
4:13 pm
believe us pressure and venezuela is always a boil. know, stated democratic values everyone in the world knows that the us has no interest in genuine peoples democracy in venezuela, in south america, or anywhere in the world. this is about oil. this is about a harsh pending winter that is coming up very fast on the european union. in the united states, they cut themselves off from russian oil. they already have how many, hundreds and hundreds of sanctions in place on russia, on venezuela, on iran economic war, walkies on these countries now for years and in some cases, decades. so it has nothing to do with democracy and it has everything to do with who has leverage right now. jeff,
4:14 pm
any companies are suspending the withdrawal of their businesses from russian according to local media, which note that since july, not a single japanese company has ceased, operations are left russia. it also appears that asian countries are continuing to buy russian fossil fuels at pace as data shows that russia has become the largest supplier of all to china for 3 months in a row. moreover, despite the condemnation of russia's offensive in ukraine, japan has become the 2nd largest importer of russian fossil fuels after china buying more than $5000000000.00 worth from moscow. economist and political commentator i k hummer, believes asian countries are moving to shock proof their economies. well, the agent takes the job to secure the energy supply because they expect the know without energy, you can not survive as an economy. they are taking the job and by the russian fuel
4:15 pm
and the russian energy. so even in the so called way wants to have the oil afterwards back from the russian is not say it's not see whether they will get it. so they are the west is really playing with, with the future by doing this sanction, or just because some president in the us told them not to. i mean, this is all ridiculous. and this takes matters where we have to say whether the politics, especially politicians in the works on primary, really acting in behalf of their population, or whether they are acting against the benefit of their own population. the asian people do it. they are in behalf in favor of the population, so that's why they are taking the johns and,
4:16 pm
and buying the fuel. it's not just the continents east western asia nations are also increasing their business dealings with moscow. turkey, in fact, has doubled its imports of russian. all of this year or of a u. s. official trouble reading, war and turkish businesses against cooperation with moscow publishing and any individuals or entities providing material support to us escalated persons themselves at risk of us sanctions. please be advised that relationships with sanction russian actors may expose turkeys, financial institutions, and businesses to sanctions risk. speaking of energy, saudi arabia. and since the continuation of joint projects with a run in the oil industry, the spider again increasing pressure from the u. s. according to the iranian offshore oil company to iran and ria expect to complete the development of the fun d r. oil feel within 36 months. the background to not being
4:17 pm
u. s. and iran representative casting mutual recrimination is for the failure of the 16 month long talks to restart the really nuclear dean. in addition, a number of nearby states are trying to normalize relations with iran, with a view to diffusing tensions in the region. the united are of emirates also plans to reinstate its buster to around the for the 1st time in 6 years. we spoke with an iranian geopolitical as to things such an overall reproachful, where he's washington u. s. government. because it's difficult in this part. there was a engaging, was the killer people engage in terrorism. they don't want to see a relation between iran and its neighbors. that own policy of divide and conquer. the only americans can dictate the demand through this how these other region countries is really an advantage. 5 policy,
4:18 pm
both the same thing they're doing in europe to think russia and causing difficulties, a show you appreciation. and as the countries in this part of the world get close to each other and then not going to be much demand for us intervention. and that's what the united states fears ah, nothing negative about the key of not seems to be the new rules for google, which has introduced a raft of measures governing its news coverage of the ukraine. conflict ortiz don quarter, is across the story. silicon valley censorship at its finest. a polish subcontractor of youtube is out of work. amid reports that he leaked a slide show tutorial on google's new content rules regarding the conflict and ukraine. i was asked to take part in an interview. once they're, they told me i was fired due to an information lake. it turned out they were
4:19 pm
tracking all the employees. they even admitted to having special systems that can record when i take a picture from my personal phone. pretty ironic since his former employer claims to be all for building trust and expanding horizons. ah, well, it looks like that stuff isn't really that important, especially when you're on a crusade against imagery. google considers hateful like russia's z symbol or talking about did not suffice ukraine. and don't you dare say anything bad about celebrities administration. you'd be at risk of posting harmful content, which includes accusing key of, of carrying out genocide and bringing attention to the established fact that ukrainian forces are using civilians as human shields. these rights violations have been well documented over the past 8 years by the o. s. c,
4:20 pm
e and more recently by amnesty international ukrainian forces put civilians in harms way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals. i guess according to google and youtube, amnesty international is harmful to but then again, shouldn't victoria newland be slapped with that label as well? after all, talking about u. s. funded bio labs and ukraine is a big no. no. and she herself acknowledged the existence of these bio labs. does ukraine have chemical or biological weapons? ukraine has a biological research facilities which in fact we are now quite concerned russian troops. russian forces may be seeking to gain control of $46.00 labs, experimenting with anthrax and cholera among other deadly pathogens, all with a $200000000.00 bill that the us taxpayer generously picked up. it's no surprise
4:21 pm
that a lot of people had a lot of questions when it came to this very suspicious research. why are these labs in ukraine? and what role is the united states played and making that possible? evidence of the existence of these bio labs and ukraine, their vulnerability in there for the need to take immediate action to secure them is beyond dispute. jimmy, they have no idea of whether that's true. how could they possibly know that there are no biological and chemical weapons labs in ukraine? all they know is that the cia and the pentagon told them they weren't there. well, the u. s. government says they have bio labs and told us under oath that they're worried about the contents of these biologics they failed to secure. might get into the wrong hands, but it's right wing put nice propaganda. naturally too many questions meant. the u . s. had to change gears later calling any mention of bio weapons labs, russian propaganda. so the social media giants got with the anti russian picture as they always do. already,
4:22 pm
the youtube account of russia's largest truck producer commas has been blocked. unfortunately, for reasons beyond our control, we are forced to stop our activities on youtube. as the administration of the video platform blocked our account. google's no rules seem to have a lot less to do with facts and a lot more to do with a political agenda, and we only know about them because of a leak. what other unsavory skeletons does google have in its closet that we just don't know about yet? so more reaction to the political analyst, nicholas markovich, beliefs than you google content rules make the company despite internal claims to the country. political google who youtube is trying to fabricate consent as a chomsky and then herman said so that people are about to say things and nothings and they're politically oriented because there is a typical, this mindset that there are things which are, which you can say concerning for example, the war and ukraine and things that you're not allowed to say is we have gotten
4:23 pm
videos, we have got images, we have got testimonies, we've got all the proof necessary since 2014 the fact that we are not allowed to say this is actually scary youtube, his work, he's not an independent company. it is defending the interests of the us and those who may be involved in this, in these, by labs in ukraine. google is political. there's no doubt about that. looking on the images they put on the front screen that i read books, i read articles every time i'm looking for something i try to. so could they go around google, but i'll sometimes i have to have no choice. so it is definitely a political, a company all this month, we're examining the legacy of 2 decades of us occupation of afghanistan looking at the enduring consequences of america's war in the asian nation. our special coverage marks the one year anniversary since they chaotic final withdrawal of us
4:24 pm
forces. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. last august, life in afghanistan changed in a matter of days with the collapse of the western back government happening at lightning speed. and in an interview some weeks ago, the country's then leader rejected allegations that he had acted like a coward. despite the fact, he fled cable with suitcases stuff with cash ortiz,
4:25 pm
ritual 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 a wife without us occupation. it also doesn't appear that the biden administration
4:26 pm
cared in their final phone call just 3 weeks before the fall. of the afghan government bite and 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 clear capable of fighting. well, we will continue to go 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 what. but after that, i need not tell you the perception around the world and impulsive afghanistan. 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 binding pointed out, afghan stan was supposed to had the best military. after all, the u. s. had spent $145000000000.00 reconstructing everything from the country,
4:27 pm
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 happen. 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 who have gannon stan should prepared to fight their civil wars. after the u. s. military depart to clean up the corruption and 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,
4:28 pm
who says that the afghan forces would fight? it obviously 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 hears of corruption shaped up gonna stand after the us invaded,
4:29 pm
went all the way up to the presidential palace, and one millions of people suffered and hundreds of thousands lost their lives. the politicians of the talk were the ones who walked away unharmed, a perfect picture of the legacy left by 20 years of us occupation. you can find more special reports on the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan on ortiz page on the rumble video platform. you'll find plenty more therapist sites do check with us where they are. teen user in phase. good bye for now. but don't go too far. some more programs get there. start in moments. thanks for your company. ah. well, no one. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. what go more real than what they should end up unit
4:30 pm
73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. golden is the aggression who chose this war. today i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions with showing that i see speak on the new student more see more in the branding all in ports of russian oil and gas turbine and imposing these sanctions. i brush as destroy the american factors, boomerang i, where suffering the.
