ah, i'm with serbia and kosovo, reach a mutual agreement on a controversial border crossing that's according to the e, which is mediating talks. the international atomic energy agency reportedly plans to visit a nuclear power plant and zapora, next week with russia saying, ukraine's continued shelling of the facility amounts to nuclear terrorism. meanwhile, the u. s. shows it's intention to prolong the war by striking a new deal to provide ukraine with missile systems in late twenty's 24 plus pakistan that clears a state of emergency over what's been called the worst humanitarian disaster of the

decade. after more than 900 people die and devastating floods with hello from moscow to wherever you may be watching from welcome to the weekly where we go over the weeks and the hours most pressing stories from the world on fuel, isabel. but 1st to serbia with belgrade agreeing to cancel a requirement for our tree and exit papers for coastal id holders. while kosovo has given assurances, it will not introduce similar measures for serbians. that's according to e. u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. the serbian president, alexander routing has stress that the deal should not be interpreted as any recognition of kosovo, self declared independence status. hey, miss brenda, this is amelia. them. we are ready to issue a general disclaimer,

in which it will be written that the use identity called issued by pristine a is allowed exclusively for practical reasons, either due to freedom of movement from a notes as any recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of kosovo. ali, when were you the most looked local reporter nicolette jell, which has more on the situation. the news of the day was that, as joseph burrell announced some he's peter account a few hours ago. that there has been agreement between serbia and costello. for the personal documents and regarding the entrance to coastal and the 2 central serbia. so regarding this agreement for people who have serbian documents and live in northern course of all can go and travel freely through the whole territory. of course, when metal here without any problems or without any permits or licenses that were necessary until today on the other side of civil citizens who have a documentation of so called republic of possible can from now on. 2 travel into

serbia directly without any problems. so this is a agreement that these as mr. brown put good and the due to the peaceful and democratic norms that you propose as a at least declarative lee. but it is still not to the most important thing since the problem with the license plates for the cars still hasn't been done. and the question is how and when will it be done at all? we are ending this day in a slightly a positive manner. but serves in kosovo, are still worried about their future in the few upcoming days until the end of the month. and i wonder what happened with the 1st days of september for rush today from costs commit teresa, my name is nuclear, which tension flared in early august. when ethnic protestors blocked roads to to

border crossings with serbia in northern kosovo, the violence erupt. it over, plans by prestige required those with serbian ideas entering kosovo to also have an additional document. along with a plan for serbian drivers to display kosovo number plates on their vehicles, kosovo proclaimed independence from serbia in 2008. but ethnic serbs who make up the majority in the north of the country do not recognize pristine as authority. they remain politically loyal to serbia, which continues to provide them with financial support, america, special envoy to the western balkans. gabriel escobar says he hopes tension between the 2. do not escalate while drying belgrade ire. by suggesting it should forget any suggestion that kosovo is part of serbia. i think we have to move away from the narrative that kosovo is serbia and move toward the the narrative that cultural and serbia are europe. 7 gods. h. a professor at the institute of european studies in

belgrade says the serbian public is tired of the western interfering. unfortunately, this is a decision. this comes after many bad decisions in the last 9 years. and from the beginning of the so called brussels process. since the you started to mediate the negotiating process, it was always bias. and the result was that serbia gave up so many of the state authorities paid for it to the illegal for albania, separate this institutions. and in return, serbia didn't get anything. however, i must say that the situation is very grima for the whole being in independence. many states are rethinking their decision or reco recognition of the succession of call some of the thought here from serbia. and

many of them have revoked already district remission. as we hear there 7 war, those serbia, society is very much anti western oriented. when it comes to polio when it comes to geo politics only when it comes to the boys. he's because you are always for loss or to years on being restricted to say it's my own most mildly. the west is afraid of though, is afraid that we might cause problems. and now to the conflict in ukraine where europe's largest nuclear power plant has been shelled, once again by ukrainian forces. that's according to local authorities. russia says at least 17 shells were fired at the facility in the upper osha region. in the last 24 hours. the plant has been constantly shelled by camp forces over the last few weeks with moscow recently referring to the bombing as nuclear terrorism,

russia has said it has handed over evidence of the shelling to united nations members. according to multiple reports, the international atomic energy agency has assembled a team to visit the plant as early as next week. and saying ends up are osha region on friday, ukraine use the u. s. supplied high mar system to shell, a small town hitting a residential building and killing at least 4 civilians, including 2 children. we heard from local residence. i do movie firstly, there was one explosion, and after 5 seconds a 2nd. immediately everything collapsed. rescuers arrived put up a ladder and pulled us from the house. doors and windows had been blown out of the apartments and not a single window left. what typically it was a direct hit to the roof and to don bass, where residential areas of the dying asked republic continue to suffer from ukrainian shelling with apartment buildings, hospitals and schools targeted,

leaving dozens of civilian casualties in the last few days, a shopping center and the don ask republic was also struck by rocket starting fires, which destroyed the building, our teaser among closer efforts. oh, we're driving along with the net skull fire department said to the supermarket, that was us rock early in the morning. here in a donnette 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, firefighters are still fighting the blaze of this supermarket. you can see plumes of smoke are still ha, everywhere. now this is 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 need to. i myself picks up humanitarian aid

from a vis supermarket numerous times in order to deliver it to places here and then as people republic where they needed. now the choir fighters 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 supermarkets right now. it looks like it's completely destroyed, asked for the situation around this area. now there isn't as goal military is 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 this place is very popular among the local residents. as you can see, the building is still a blazer, firefighters are trying to put it out. it's all it to be careful because the root can collapse at any time. employees or the supermarket are now trying to salvage as

much of merchandise as possible at the moment they can even speak to us that can even give us the account because there's still quite a lot to be done. room on call for a party. don't ask people's republic and while the conflict in ukraine gets bloodier and the nuclear threat grows, the pentagon has signed a 182000000 dollar deal with the u. s. army manufacturer to produce advanced surface to air missile systems for the ukranian military by late 2024. while some western countries clamor for peace biden appears to be arming ukraine for the long run. the deal comes in the wake of the us announcing yet another military package for ukraine bite and stressing that he will do whatever it takes to defeat russia. meanwhile, moscow has repeatedly condemned washington supply of weapons, claiming it deliberately prolonged the conflict and may lead to

a direct russia nato confrontation. earlier we spoke to sara flounders, co director of the activist group, the international action center, who says that the u. s. is not interested in settling the conflict peacefully regardless of how they talk about peace. they are clearly, these are weapon systems that won't even be delivered until 20, 24 august of 2020 for 2 years from now. so that means that's the kind of planning, but it's really all about profit. this is a profit bonanza for the largest military corporations. and they're all in line to get as much money as they can as quickly as they can for anyone who thinks that they're really interested in talking about peace, they're not interested, not at all. it's how long can they keep the war going? how long can they make promises to the ukrainian military? that something is going to come to the flashes forces that will back that will save

them. and as long as they can make that promise and keep that hope going, they're willing to ship the weapons. really, any of these, a weapons manufacturers care very little. a great amount of the weapons that are shipped to the ukraine, go missing a, disappear one, sir, across the border. there isn't any accounting system even for them. and they're dealing with very corrupt officer core who has no interest in the war, except for how much money they can make from. it's not the kind of defense that the people of ukraine need. they need an end to the war and they need an end to these forces that control the government and are willing to march more and more soldiers off to war and news from north africa. now where at least 13 people have reportedly been killed and dozens wounded in clashes and libby as capital.

an intense fighting broke out and tripoli early on saturday with rival militia groups reportedly exchanging heavy gun fire. according to local media, the clashes were initiated by one of the capital strongest armed factions that says rival force has continued a vi for power in the north african country. as you can see, military personnel took to the streets as of fighting subsided. the conflict occurred due to rising tensions between the 2 governments, those ruling libby as east and west. it is reported that the new prime minister, supporters clashed with forces loyal to his predecessor who is refusing to step down the oil rich country has not had a stable and united government since nato intervention toppled. then leader moved mar gadhafi in 2011 more now from nations suffering from western intervention. our special coverage on afghanistan continues as we enter the final

stage of our coverage marketing one year since nato's chaotic withdraw. ah! today mark's one year since britain brought it's 20 year presence in afghanistan to a close. and episode remembered as some of the darkest days in nato's history that showed a complete failure to understand the situation on the ground. here's our t's donald quarter with more. a colossal failure by the world's most formidable military power . one year ago, joe biden pulled the plug on the u. s. his 20 year long, military occupation of afghanistan. i concluded that as timed it and america's longest war. it's time for american troops to come home. the troops began to pack

their bags, there was no need to rush. after all us intelligence had no doubts. there was time to spare to book come under pressure from the taliban in as little as 30 days and full to the extremist group within 90 days. but as the taliban advance showed no sign of abating, washington began to realize it had not 90, not 30, but only a handful of days before the taliban would be at the capital's gates. on august 15th cobble became the seat of power for these la mc emerett of afghanistan. ah, before they knew it, the americans were forced into the awkward position of having to cooperate with their decades old enemies to bring their people home. and this time, they had reason not to drag their feet 1st on evacuation. we agreed that we will

continue to close our close cooperation to get people out as efficiently and safely as possible. we are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st millions of dollars of military equipment left behind collaborators abandoned into the hands of the taliban. those 90 days were a figment of the imagination of a u. s. intelligence. and because of their critical mistake, u. s. troops, chaotically fled with their tails between their legs. ah, let's not forget the subordinates of this us led coalition also reeled from the

defeat. the international withdrawal from afghanistan has been a disaster in terms of planning, execution, and consequences for the united kingdom slider interests. even if the exact point at which the taliban ascendancy became inevitable could not have been predicted with certainty, the special committee believes that greater prudence, and therefore, a more proactive approach was warranty. in response to your scanty stance clearly where sitting trajectory for washington's closest ally the u. k, the political fallout was devastating. senior members of his party criticized both the decision to withdraw and the government's response to the rapid takeover of afghanistan by the taliban ministers have acknowledged being taken by surprise. and johnson and his foreign secretary dominic rob were forced to cut short their vacations to return to london as the afghan capital cobble was taken. johnston's predecessor, teresa may suggested the prime minister had hoped, on a wing and

a prayer, it'd be all right on the night. in afghanistan and warned the u. k. now faces an increased terror threat due to the taliban and things were no better for the administration at the forefront of it all. the survey conducted before the u. s. military pullout was completed, also finds that 69 percent of the public says the united states mostly failed in achieving its goals in afghanistan. the public is also broadly critical of the biden administration's handling of the situation in afghanistan, 42 percent, say it has done a poor job. decades went by trillions of dollars were spent. nearly 200000 people were killed all for the most well funded, most well equipped military in the world to fall before a ragtag insurgency. that in the end was more determined to win. there's more special coverage to come on. the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan here in our tea in the next month. but for now you can read extra stories on our web page and social media, and don't forget to leave a common or to stay tuned. no nation,

no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history. and now to former american president george w bush, who has been boasting about his past foreign policies known for launching a u. s. lead preemptive invasion of iraq and afghanistan is now giving decision making lessons. i recognize very few people who are watching this will

become president, but i think you'll find lessons in leadership that will apply to your life. i'm george w bush. and this is master class. if you've been looking to work on your leadership skills, then master class has the mentor for you. former us president george w bush is the newest talent acquired by the streaming platform. and he's featured in a lecture series on authentic leadership. yes, you heard that right? the same man who authorized the u. s. invasions of iraq and afghanistan is now lecturing the public on tough calls he has made during his career. and they are expected to pay for his advice. as president sometimes, and i had information to the american people didn't know and therefore i did make decisions. what was best for the country on knowledge? there wasn't evidence, but well, the theories includes topics such as accountability leads to results. it doesn't give any tips on how bush himself has escaped accountability for the last 2 decades

. although bush has been rehabilitated into a harmless grandfather who enjoys painting and sharing candy with former 1st lady michelle obama. his real legacy will never be forgotten by the millions of people who are impacted by his policies directly. in fact, the war on terrorism, bush declared in the aftermath of 911, is still active to this day. his pledge to show what a leader he was by giving the u. s. military. a blank check to target. anyone they described is a terrorism suspect set in motion of foreign policy that is impacted countless lives without any form of due process. when looking at afghan, a stand alone, the u. s. invasion led to each one of your long occupation after tens of thousands of civilians were killed in the war. the nation is now facing a humanitarian crisis. that is one of the worst in the world. then there's a rock, perhaps the leadership called bushes, best known for as it was made by his administration. and they're promised that they

would find weapons of mass destruction. intelligence gathered by this and other government leads no doubt that the iraqi regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised. this regime has already used weapons of mass destruction against iraq's neighbors and against arrest people. no one was more shot and angry than i was when we didn't find the weapons. i had a sickening feeling every time i thought about it. i still do. not only do they not find the weapons, they claim to know so much about, but the war didn't and there, and it's estimated the early years of conflict resulted in the death of more than 1000000 iraqis. the results, the u. s. military is still present in iraq to this day, and it concerns that if they leave the government and the military they have spent years building will meet the same fate as the one. the u. s. spent 1000000000

supporting and afghanistan, of course pushes and using master class to finally be honest with the public. instead, he does that when he's delivering a paid speech and he includes the 40 and slip of the century. in his 2010 memoir, bush made the comment, we got things wrong in iraq, but the cause is eternally right. although nearly 20 years later, the public is left to wonder whether that cause was for those who stood to profit off of the conflict. because it certainly wasn't for the well being of the iraqi people. and when it comes to bush and his leadership abilities, he's not the only one who has walked free after accusations that he was complicit in a host of war crimes. that seems to be the standard for every member of his administration who sold belie of w and d 's. and for the overwhelming majority of military members who indiscriminately killed civilians even when they were caught laughing about the lives they had just taken on camera,

a lead individuals with from this clients who are subjected to his reign of terror in the middle east to the u. s, military veterans who went on to live with years of crippling p t. s. d. for to many know the reality of bush's leadership style. but of course, master class didn't see fit to include any lessons on how to wage illegal invasions how to get away with occupying nations for years on end, or have a lie about all of it and be accepted by the mainstream public. a tough call indeed . ah, that was our tis rachel blevins and now to asia were, pakistan continues to be in a state of national emergency. after heavy floods affected more than 30000000 people throughout the country. according to local officials, more than 33000000 people have been displaced since june. when monsoon reigns triggered,

flash floods across the country. the government has set its focusing all its efforts on helping those affect it. yet the situation remains dire as the number of homeless people sores and shelters are overwhelmed. forcing families to live on the streets. some are blaming the government for their woes, saying the problems are result of broken promises and delays going on as you who got toyota mac on when years ago, we were promised that a concrete wall will be built in this river will also be built with concrete energy known after that we built a house, but still the promise was not fulfilled in a gun. if you had the beauty of local, the river was sold to us by these people. we have no fear of god. there is no such thing as humanity. yoga did, here was my house, my entire life savings are gone, that i'm gone. some resists on. if you got it. in this footage, the prime minister helps to drop or leave supplies over flood ravaged areas. the countries minister for climate change has described the floods as the worst humanitarian disaster of the decade.

civilian injuries from prohibited pedo mines are on the rise and don bass, where the ukrainian army continuing to use the band explosives on the front lines. according to dani, asked authorities 58 civilians have now been injured by the mines and protesters this week gathered in front of the u. s. embassy in moscow to highlight the illegality of their use. many lay on the ground to imitate those who have lost their lives. while stickers depicting the explosives were placed on the pavement directly in front of the building. t f am wine or pedal minds or small anti personal mines scattered in large numbers by missiles which opened mid air above their target. the mines fall to the ground and explode at the slightest physical pressure. their use was banned under the 1997 otto, a treaty, an agreement signed by ukraine. the fall out from ukraine used as not only

drawn protest and moscow as a brazilian artist has created a cartoon highlighting the menacing nature of the explosives. the work is embellished with the warning danger and do not touch and urges people to call emergency services if they discover one of the mines we spoke to the man behind the cartoon, who says the goal of the work is to show the danger of ukrainian weapons being dispersed in dense civilian areas, mo is see, i think this initiative on my part was an attempt to warn the civilians have done its can lugens. the purpose of my work was to show the civilian population, the danger of these explosive devices, which the cities are full of the residents, became the 1st victims of mines, especially children and the elderly. i'm trying to do the work that we can warn civilians. it's an attempt on my part to assist. it's not about politics, rather, it's of public importance. we talk about the conflict itself. we're experiencing the situation that has a lot in common with the cold war. it's time to decide which side you are on,

and it's important to understand what is at stake, what geopolitical issues the conflict between crane and rushes connected with, and to make a choice. now, it is impossible to stay away. i understand quite clearly that russia was pushed into this conflict and nato's expansionism is to blame for this authority say the enormous forest fires that have been sweeping, a russian region south east of moscow are no longer a danger to the public. the situation is a whole can be described as fully controlled earlier. we contained the fire at various places, sending additional forces to the most dangerous areas. but now we are working according to a plan in the situation is under absolute control. at one point the blazes covered an area of $20000.00 hector's in rise on region. that's an area around the size of almost 30000 football fields with 10000 people. and more than 1500 emergency

vehicles brought in to help to contain them. but with the majority of the fires extinguish, the remaining threat is said to be from smoke which has spread to moscow and other parts of central russia. the cause of the fires is still being determined that set for the hour and weeks most pressing new stories on the weekly. thanks for watching and we'll see you next hour. ah ah ah ah united a news and tax on other

countries economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about here. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the whole world and we need to make rules for the rest because without out there we can do for.
