12:13 am
a high level of trust in our technologies and specialists. we 2 of them need to know what it will be the 1st time and recent history. russian nuclear power units are installed in a european union member nation with construction expected to begin as early as october. moscow in budapest share a long history of mutual cooperation and energy, and the hungarian foreign minister has said he sees the agreement as a turning point. ensuring has countries energy security as yet my to do, they handle in hungary. we have been working for a long time to expand the existing pocket nuclear power plant with 2 new powerful units. what does a move by 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 units that we can insure. hungary is energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp fluctuations and international energy markets. we will therefore insure a policy of reducing utility costs that 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. i am wiley, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute in london. sanger is leader, is simply trying to do the right thing for his people. dick dorman has repeatedly said that he thinks that the sanctions policy against russia is absolutely ridiculous and destructive hope. you're seeing the economy or a oil. the european unit is supposed to cover all oil imports from russia by the end of the year. but i'm really going to call out it's going to go on is made clear that these things is just absolutely ridiculous and that is just a minute is to look after the interest of the people who had voted on years over to south asia. now were india is another example of
12:15 am
a country maintaining its sovereignty. despite western pressure, we will continue to make decisions based on our own national interests. that's the message from the countries ambassador to russia who was speaking during a commemoration of that in moscow marking 75 years of indian independence. one such decision is strengthening ties with russia. india has already increased its oil purchases from moscow which reached a record level in june. and it's now also set to further deepen relations in the military sphere with the 2 nations taking part enjoy exercises later this month. the countries envoy to moscow says there's plenty more room for cooperation in the future to 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 other logistical issues. there are payment issues which have to be overcome. we have to find the way forward.
12:16 am
there is tremendous scope for increasing audrey to make on the cooperation 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 we're also mocking 75 years of india, russia, diplomatic relations. and i'm sure that this wonderful tradition we have will friendship and cool christian will continue well into the future. what the wes imposing sanctions against russia? moscow has found new partners and markets to fill the void and india is happy to participate. planning to double trade. that's according to the vice president of the russia, india foundation, who discussed the prospects for bilateral relations with r t. a passion, donaldson industry,

12:19 am
suspicions about christina, it would be good if there was a transparent justice system so that you would have no doubts whatever the outcome . but this is not the case. quite the contrary. i've been in the why putting up these fences, the mayor of the city in which i live shows very poor reasoning that generated more opposition, more anger in the people news from north africa. now we're at least 13 people have reportedly been killed and dozens wounded in clashes and libya's capital. ah, intense fighting broke out and tripoli early on saturday with rival militia groups reportedly exchanging heavy gunfire. according to local media, that flashes were initiated by one of the capital strongest arm factions. that's as rival forces continue to vie for power. as you can see, military personnel took to the streets as of fighting subsided. the conflict occurred due to rising tensions between 2 governments,
12:20 am
those rolling libya's east and west. it is reported that the new prime minister supporters clash with forces loyal to his predecessor who is refusing to step down the oil rich country has not had a stable in united government since nato intervention toppled then leader mar gadhafi in 2011. more now from the nation, still suffering the consequences of western intervention. our special coverage on afghanistan continues as we enter the final stage mark in one year since nato's chaotic withdrawal. ah, today marks one year since britain brought its disastrous 20 year presence in afghanistan to a close in the process, leaving many of those that employed and has now promised it will relocate behind.
12:21 am
12:22 am
ah, we will do absolutely everything we tend to ensure that those people get the same package that they deserve our message to those women and men is clear. there is a home for you in the united states. if you so choose, we will stand with you, just as you stood with her or the pull out self is remembered as one of the darkest days in nato's history, with british authorities showing a complete failure to understand the situation on the ground. here's our teens 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 his time that and america's longest war is time for
12:23 am
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 blue could 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 what the americans were forced into the awkward position of having to cooperate with their decades old enemies to bring their people home. and this
12:24 am
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,
12:25 am
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. so why the 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 with 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 criticize 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,
12:26 am
theresa 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 puller 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 to 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 carrick withdrawal from afghanistan here on our tea in the next month. but for now,
12:27 am
12:28 am
with for the all new business and usually in the area a, b, b, a does not assume zine. yeah. americans great. you know what you got to really just touching up, chris and also to provide you with stuff such and sure. of course it was nice. you talked of the different student pull a child with her own, with them the proudly and you're still with me. she was slow at the system that unless talk to them a shuttle to not says kid, yell of you, you lose some slate in your platoon. you.
