romano calls or if it's close to kia positions here. the dyna capital a these guys are instrumental in destroying ukrainian army positions just on the outskirts of the nist. while the west continues to point a finger at russia for the global energy prices, hungary approved moscow's construction of to new nuclear reactors. the country's foreign minister praises the thanks to these 2 new nuclear unit, we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population. the narrative that kosovo is, serbia needs to be forgotten. that's the controversial statement from america's envoy to the western boffin during a visit to belgrade, in which he attempts to ease tensions, but instead,

leave many people perplex. ah, good morning for martine or national studios in moscow. i'm fear ella is about with ours most pressing new stories from around the world. glad to welcome you to the program. we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict, rushes air defense system has reportedly gone into action near the city a you have, but the area in the crimea, ah, this video posted on social media late on friday evening claims to show explosions in the region, allegedly film by local residents, russia is yet to confirm that its air defense system went into action. and caves forces shelled the capital city of don. yes. were public early this morning. ah! as you can see, leaving trees on fire har,

sport and building shattered smoke from the fires drifted through the air near don . yes, national technical university. this footage was shot in front of a hotel which came under fire along with the college. no casualties have been reported and emergency workers continue to make the area safe. earlier friday, 5 people including 2 children, died after ukraine, shall the settlement of coy be shown a role in those upper rows of region, which is under russian control. calves military was using american high marsh rocket systems, according to the regions governor among the infrastructure damage was a residential building. although a member of the reasons administration says there were no military objects near by in elegance, people's republic, 3 people died and 7 more were wounded when you have fired at a hospital. yet again, using u. s. provided high marsh rocket launchers that's according to russia's defense

ministry. meanwhile, ground fighting continues in the don. yes. republic were rushing back. troops are advancing on towns being used as firing positions by the ukranian army. one of them is marie inc. on your don. yes. where are teas? romano? closer, a visit at the republics army. ah, the 2nd tank battalion of the nest people's republic armies. 5th brigade are now working against the enemy. czar gets in its own all far, madi and god. the city of the nest is still constantly being shelled by ukrainian nationalist, and these guys are instrumental in destroying ukrainian army positions. just on the outskirts of the nest, in the town offer money and guarding to officials, at least 75 percent of the town is now free and they'll be making sure that there

are no more ukrainian artillery positions. we're now at the headquarters of the 2nd tank battalion on the outskirts of donetta . the tank is already working against the ukrainian nationalists positions. now these guys are now operating the drone, which is, are right above the tank hands. are they making sure that it hits the target that it needs a little okay. approach though, and you said you list areas well fortified. the defense was prepared in advance, so it's hard to move forward and we do it slowly, but with determination for the shims resumed. the fundamental difference between them and us is that we protect our lamps, how children, parents, all citizens of that. the next glance, republics? well, they destroy us now families, they are cold blooded vis. soviet see, 64 tank is back from the front line as you can see it. so all in fact the crew

are safe and sounds and like they said, they were working against the ukrainian nationalists, military positions. right now they will reload and head back to the front room on call for if hearty. the next people's republic ends up or roget. the ukrainian military open fire 10 times on the regents nuclear power plant on friday. that's according to local russian back officials who stay the shelling has, hey, an area used to store radioactive waste. no damage was recorded and the radiation level is said to be at a normal rate. we got insight into the situation at europe's largest nuclear plant from a lexi, any peak log of a former worker there who says that any further ukrainian shelling would mean a constant blackout for millions of residents woocommerce answer never is human history. fortunately has active military action been waged near nuclear power plant

and is the 1st time that a party to the conflict i. ukraine has deliberately targeted a nuclear power plant. with the intention of hitting this most vulnerable pass, the containers with the most dangerous and the most radioactive materials, of course, were built a sustained attacks by a multiple rocket launch system or high caliber artillery. but there is a very high chance that sooner or later, there'll be a direct hit on one of them for him before the conflict. these approach a nuclear plant power, it's 20 percent of all ukraine. every 5th kilowatt hour was produced there. of course consumption has reduced dramatically in ukraine now because a lot of industries thought and masses of people left. it was only because of this that the ukraine in electrical system didn't collapse and thursday, when there was a temporary power cat. so ukraine things by hitting the plant, there won't be a boomerang effect against them all, but there will be and for the millions of people living in the region. if the

shelling continue, it will mean constant blackouts. and for a long time ago, why year p and leaders continue to play moscow for the energy crisis to new russian made nuclear power. generators are to be installed at a hungarian plant. alexey lee hatch of the head of russia, state nuclear energy company arose. adam sees the move as the step of mutual trust at the theatre. levy is restored here. this is the fast license in recent history obtained by ross at him in the european union of which you are. this is very important. these nuclear reactors are already in use in the russian federation. they have been working effectively for several years. we have building them in a number of countries. this is environmentally friendly and inexpensive electricity . we also have some of the most economically attractive indicators, right? we have been cooperating with hungary for many years. there are plans to expand that cooperation, making such a decision shows a high level of trust in our technologies and specialists. we took them meeting for

the 1st time in recent history of russian nuclear power units are to be installed in a european union member nation with construction expect it to begin as early as october, moscow. in budapest, sherry long history of mutual cooperation and energy, and the hungarian foreign minister has fed. he sees this agreement as a turning point, ensuring his country's energy security as it might a day and or in hungary we have been working for a long time to expand the existing package nuclear power plant with 2 new powerful units. what does a move this work has come to a new turning point? as hundreds, even thousands of permits are needed for the construction of a new nuclear power plant. thanks to 2 new nuclear unit, we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp fluctuations and international energy markets. and we will therefore ensure a policy of reducing utility costs. i think that the obtaining a construction license as a major milestone, a turning point,

and that strengthens our hope that by 2030 the nuclear power plant will begin its activity at hawkinsville georgia on wiley. a senior research fellow at the global policy institute in london says hunger leader is simply trying to do the right thing for his people make the war, but has repeatedly said that he thinks that the sanction policy against russia is absolutely ridiculous and destructive all the europe in the economy or about changing the oil. and the european unit is supposed to cover all oil imports from russia by the end of the year. but hungry got a call about is going to go on. he's made clear that he thinks it's just absolutely ridiculous and that his job as a prime minister is to look after the interest of the people who wrote his name is on gary's america, special envoy to the western,

balkan says he hopes tensions between christina and belgrade. do not escalate but as thrown further fuel to the fire by stating that the very idea that close of what is part of serbia should be forgotten. i think we have to move away from the narrative that close of always serbia and move toward the the narrative that causal and serbia are europe. however, the envoy then contradicted himself by acknowledging that washington is not to participate in the dialogue between serbia and its break away province talks that serbian president, alexander booth, says, have failed to ease tensions that are generally going in the right direction. research also says he hopes for compromise as the discussions continue tension between belgrade and christina started spiraling out of control last month after coastal announced that serbian issued identity documents and card number place would no longer be valid. that decision has prompted sporadic clashes between

ethnic serbs, local albanians and police, with some roads being temporarily blocked. implementation of the new ruling by close of all has now been postponed till september 1st. they boy shall mileage a. serbian american journalist and historian says that the u. s. is envoys statement illustrates washington's long last employ for the region. you have the american government going all we please. we hope that there is no tensions, but both tacitly and, and literally encouraging tensions by basically giving a green light to the course of all by any means to go ahead and implement this illegal power grab. and then of course, when something happens, they'll be think always some align russian influence. we must put in more troops and spend more money on raytheon missiles in order to make this happen. so i think it's a cynical power ploy. and it's, it's perfectly in line with everything that the u. s. has done in the region since

$999.00, regardless of which party has been in power. nato is turning its eyes to the arctic alliance. had john stolen and berg has made his 1st official visit to canada's frozen far north, despite the country's long standing resistance to nato involvement. from there, the chief of the north atlantic alliance attempted to justify its encroachment by highlighting a perceived russia, china threat. increasing parts of the arctic will be ice free in summer. this is unlocking opportunities for shipping routes, natural resources and economic development. but it also raises the risk of tensions . authoritarian regimes are clearly willing to use military intimidation or aggression to achieve their aims. at the same time, they're stepping up their activities and interest in the arctic sultan berg went on to stress. the need for quote, hero atlantics security, accusing russia,

which has warned against militarization of the architect of increasing its activity in the region and placing quote, the u. s at risk sultan burg, also accused china of planning a new polar so road. he said nato plans to step up its activities as a response, but the vice chair of the swedish piece council claims as sultan berg is not being honest about the alliances, presence stopped. him, bird is a liar. i think when he will make us believe that they have now been in the north for the 1st time, there has been yearly, military exercises in the entire north main door has never brought stability. nato is a war alliance. it goes, ne, do has is not defending anything. they are an attack

force. canada is the one that you wish beating in the arctic. the u. s. don't care about anything but defeating russia, that was o. crane, among other things is about and while nato has, as i said on russia and china, norberg again says the alliance has an economic focus on helping western countries plunder the arctic resources under the ice when it's melting. the 5th, all the world's oil is there, and the 3rd of the world's gas, so is under the eyes. so it's not only a lobster cheek am thinking, it's also all rubbing their area from resources

as they tend to do from the west. poor europe. what will they do? we know they have these resources and so they are show out. and so i think they have to do everything they can in their mind to get hands on their resources in the arctic might be a way of helping the west in their sense, made a predicament by being so arrogant and right out stupid. ah, as the pentagon continues to shower, ukraine's military with money and to weapons, the u. s. inspector general says he's on high alert for any security issues within the thousands of contracts with kids. we have developed a universe of thousands of ukraine related contracts that come in under $2000000.00

each. that's more than $7800.00 contracts valued at a combined $2200000000.00. yet nato officials said that the tracking and security system should be tested. concerns have grown over the ukrainian arms accounting system and the fidelity of kev's government. after some weapons have reportedly found their way onto the dark web, where ukrainian traders offer not only small arms, the javelin, anti tank systems and phoenix go strong's. previously europe, whole war and that some of these weapons might be smuggled into the u. regarding the war in ukraine euro pal has warned that the proliferation of firearms and explosives in ukraine could lead to an increase in weapons and munitions. trafficked into you. this threat might even be higher once the conflict has ended. earlier this week by it and also announced another package of military aid to ukraine, estimated at almost $3000000000.00,

including air defense and artillery systems, munitions and radars. in total, washington has now provided $10600000000.00 in military aid to kiev and committed to $25000000000.00. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says there's a real danger of american weapons flooding the european union. all it takes is one javelin missile getting in the hands of, of the wrong people. and you could have a dead political leader in europe. all it takes is one sting or anti or missile. and you have a airliner shot down, and we have the potential of having dozens, if not more, of these highly lethal weapons, man, portable weapons, weapons fit in the trunk of a car. you know, flooding europe. it's too late. you can't put that genie back in the bottle. i mean, things can be done going forward to, to try to control these weapons. but,

you know, the problem isn't so much the lack of a system of accountability on the part of the united states. the problem is ukraine . it's one of the most corrupt places on the planet. a nation that's broiled in war were the norms of the rule of law have gone out the window. we don't think what happens when those weapons making the ends of al qaeda and isis and are turned on americans in our allies, the same thing in ukraine. you know, we claim to be this big supporter of nato, the support of the european union. and yet, the weapons that we're providing ukraine will end up through the black market into the hands of terrorists and criminal elements. and so you can do harm to the european union to our nato allies. you know, it's, it's, it's absurd. and the extreme an anti war coalition has criticize the government for purchasing american fighter jets without a vote, branding at a quote, mockery of

a functioning democracy. the stop f 35 coalition claims that in doing so. the government has a board a petition containing a $100000.00 signatures. opponents of the deal say the 6000000000 dollar purchase would tie switzerland too closely to the us, calling it ill suited for the security needs of the people. the government, meanwhile, has warned that any delay in the purchase would lead to a rising costs. we spoke with the executive vice president of the eurasia center. earl ross moves said, who believes switzerland is becoming more strange from it's much celebrated neutrality. they are staying closer to us technology. i think they're being influenced more by walking. well i think we've seen a gradual shift away from their traditional new quality. but again, we're, we're kind of ignoring the voice people, which i see not just in switzerland but across many european factory then. and i

would say the us as well, also interesting here and up until recently, all their military was reserved on call. only recently have, have they actually brought on active for i think there's about maybe 1500 active air force pilots, the support personnel. so you're going to see right now your thing impact from an energy cost impact on a, on a food costs impact on. and i think you're seeing the impact on the supply chain area with which i think we're only seeing the early stages and discord in the united nations as the less than a 3rd of the organizations, 193 members, states have back a statement instigated by condemning russia over the conflict in ukraine at a new york gathering of the un security council. the statement was read out by sir gay,

kessler cl ukraine's ambassador to the un signatories include the united states, the european union, canada, japan and the united kingdom. while countries such as india and china did not sign, we discuss the lack of unity at the un with guess united nations unfortunately, via the last 4 years. we're not in factual and took a all the resolution that kind of went up on the gospel. they're simply gentle because of the pressure that is practiced by the whole country, american wine, most of the time, don't do that as pressure and repression on the countries in order to get and then lucian was about now. and then you may get that gated by the west, especially with the united states and britain, and then you generation. and then people want to what they started to know which is

long. and which is why washington is beginning to realize that it's an old tool kit. using the military and as, as, as a weapon or ocean and feeding this and using sanctions. i think that they are quite desperate about losing their hegemony worldwide with. 8 place for the family, the so called democracy the united states as well as your body is align. ready allies in the west, the put pressure on is perceived entities, including russia and china. i think more and more countries in the developing world, seen through america policy or double standards because, you know, america has been starting many, many was over the past so many decades. and it's using american exceptionalism

to coercion and bullying other countries. but of course that this is not something which can be addressed by the letters of the migration shorter and people wondered why now the interference are, they're not getting it over the years. they have off of its doctrine, trying to impose a 100, the, a was him in the, in the war was even in the m and even with frank troops in yemen. so nowadays comparing to the doctor, u. s. imperialism then, the 5th of the 17th century, the po kennedy doctrine trying to surround the bank a seat in the pacific. so i think so that they are not only against russia, they are all against middle powers. and the original connection from shanghai to moscow. a soon as they don't accept any other country to be and the full front or just to be like

a rival with china, with the idea of plus the brakes. countries and resume russia, india, china, and south africa plus all the countries like mexico gina and even central european countries. i'm calling to line so you can see the world is changing. i no longer be fine with it. but then again for the washington and a lot of the western countries still living in a b s. if they can continue to stay on top of the, well, i thought a be asked to invest $1000000000.00 in cash strapped pakistan as the countries economic crisis. we're, since it comes days after pakistan secured other multi $1000000000.00 funding from gulf countries including the tar and the u. e. the transfers are part of the

countries commitment to crisis stricken pakistan, which will help is on the bog received the help from the international monetary fund. it has been seeking. the organization is set to hold a meeting next week that could pave the way for more funding. meanwhile, pakistan continues to struggle with the aftermath of deadly floods which affected at least 33000000 people. and claimed the lives of at least $900.00 a situation. the country's climate change minister has called a quote, humanitarian disaster of epic proportions, and has led to it seeking help with relief efforts from the international community . pakistan's, former ambassador to the u. e n. e t. on asked if dirani says islam about has the potential to cope with both to fall out from the disaster and as economic problems . i've son has been with them for now getting together. and this

is not the 1st time we had do us searching through us in pool closing fire and then we had to us it includes in because and then in the i one horse, zeros in generations. since biological denbigh, the phoebe and a gun bug on as paradigm of english now we've just spoken too close to $4000000.00 which has been met by now to get in. so debbie, so i think this is one of the conditions which i think so dia has stepped in and it is going to have, this is the problem which focused on has been a cd to guy and then with a guy and emergency workers are battling and enormous plays a mattress factory in the northern indian state of othe r pradesh. more than half a dozen fire department vehicles are reported to have sped to this scene after the fire broke out in the building. second floor. no casualties have been reported and

authorities are still to investigate the cause of the blaze. rushes national guard continues to tackle a forest fire in the rise on region around 200 kilometer south of moscow. the blaze has been burning for almost a week, and emergency workers have now dropped around 320 tons of water in an effort to extinguish it. at one point, the fire encompassed an area of 17 hectares that surround the size of $32.00 football pitches. flashes have erupted in the west bank after israeli police attempted to break up a palestinian protest. israeli police reportedly used tear gas and rubber bullets in the crack down east of the city of tall carm, after which several activists were injured. the protest against israeli sadler activity and that your ball area, which is adjacent to the israeli settlements of ana. ah no

respect for trump supporting republicans. that's jo biden's view of those who follow america's ex president. ahead of the looming midterm elections. i respect conservative republicans. i don't respect these, maggie republicans will, would be a nation of unity of hope, of optimism, navigation of anger, violence, hatred and division trumpeted extreme. major republicans have made their choice to go backwards full of anger violence. hayden division, but we've chosen a different path. the u. s president also slander, make america great again, philosophy, a semi fascism at a democratic rally. republicans have called biden's comments. despicable, a former democrats as the president's comments diminish a large part of the american population. what we know is that in 2020 donald trump

garnered roughly 13000000 more votes than he did in 2016. which means that he got the most votes of any sitting president in american history. he was the most popular sitting president in american history. and by joe biden, making comments like he has, he has demeaned integrated and diminished, and very much disrespected 70 plus 1000000 people in america and gone back on what he said initially going into office in 2020. when he said that he wanted to unify people that he wanted to unify america, that he wanted to be a unifying president. he doesn't want to be a unifying president. he wants to be a president, that's ruling with an iron fist and completely dest, disrespecting and demeaning, the american people who stand behind the mag a movement. my definition of a civil war is one that exists in the digital square, and that's already happening. i do believe that conservatives are being victimized
