police use water cannons and tear gas to disperse protesters rallying and support of the countries ex president who faces up to 12 years in prison with hello for moscow to wherever you may be. watching welcome to the weekly where we go over the week and hours most pressing stories from around the world. i'm fearless about happy to join us. but 1st to serbia with belgrade agreeing to cancel a requirement for entree and exit papers for coastal id card holders. while kosovo has given assurances, it will not introduce similar measures for serbians. that's according to the you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. the serbian president alexander routing has struck that the deal should not be interpreted as any recognition of coastal self declared independence

status. hey, miss was forever. this is amelia. them. we are ready to issue a general disclaimer in which it will be written to use identity cause issued by pristine a is allowed exclusively for practical reasons. i disagree to freedom of movement, but i'm a notes as any recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of casa helene, one where you are the most look local reporter nicolette jell, which has more on the situation. the news of the day was that, as joseph burrell announced from caesar, peter account a few hours ago that there has been agreement between serbia and course of all for the personal documents and regarding the entrance to coastal and to central serbia . so regarding this agreement for people who have serbian documents and live in northern cal, so we 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 republican 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 is at least decoratively. 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 nicholas passion flared in early august. one

ethnic protesters blocked roadster to border crossings with serbia and northern coast. have of the violence interrupted over plans by pristine at a require. those was certainly an idea entering kosovo to also have an additional document along with a plan for serbian drivers to display kosovo number plates on their vehicles. customer proclaimed independence from serbia in 2008. but ethnic serbs who make up the majority in the north of the country do not recognize, christine, as authority. they remain politically loyal to serbia, which continues to provide them with financial support, america's special envoy to western balkans. gabriel escobar says he hopes tensions between the 2 do not escalate while dr. bell grades ire by proclaiming 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 in serbia are europe 7, god judge, a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade says the serbian public is tired of the west 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 the 3rd b. i gave up so many of the state authorities paid for it to the illegal albanian assistance uses. and in return certainly i didn't get anything. however, i must say that the situation is very grim, a, for the soho or being in independence. many states are rethinking their decision

or reco, recognition of the succession of customer thoughts here from serbia. and many of them have revoked already. this recognition 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 made though, is afraid that we might cause problems and now to the conflict in ukraine, we're according to local authorities. europe's largest nuclear power plant has once again been shelled by ukrainian forces. russia says that at least 17 shells were fired at the facility. and does that burroughs? yeah. 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 a shelley feel 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 staying in the zeros region on friday, ukraine use the u. s. supplied high mar systems to shell, a small town hitting a residential building and killing at least 4 civilians, including 2 children. we heard from local residents. those really do movies. firstly, there was one explosion, and after 5 seconds a 2nd. immediately everything collapsed. rescuers arrived put up a ladder and pulled up from the house, doors and windows had been blown out of the apartments. not a single window left with uniform. it was a direct hit to the roof. and to the dumbass where residential areas of the dying asked republic continue to suffer from ukrainian shelling when the apartment

buildings, hospitals and schools targeted, leaving dozens of civilian casualties in the last few days. a shopping center in the dying as capital was also struck by a rocket starting fires which destroyed the entire building. archie's room on closer up before its oil. when we're driving along with the net skull fire department said to a supermarket, that was us rock early in the morning. here in john 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 see plumes of smoke are still are everywhere. now this sir 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. 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 the firefighters has 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 a single military structure here, so it looks like it's so obvious that the target was a civilian infrastructure. this 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 this still a blaze as a wire fighters are trying to put it out. that's all it is to be careful because the root can collapse at any time. employees on the supermarket are now trying to

salvage as much of merchandise as possible at the moment they can even speak to us that can you give us the account because there's still quite a lot to be done. room on coffer of r t, the nest 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 advance surface to air missile systems for the ukranian military by late 2024. while some western countries clamor for peace fighting 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 prolongs the conflict and may lead to

a direct russian 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. is a 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 these fascists 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, a weapons, manufacturers care very little. a great amount of the weapons that are shipped to the ukraine, go missing a, disappear once or 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 are willing to march more and more soldiers off to war. the west brought the energy crisis on itself, says a previous check president that says europe's energy prices sore. its leaders desperate to place the blame at russia's door. the fact that we have huge inflation

and a huge increase in energy prices arose long before february 24th. we brought it on ourselves. the west brought it on itself. i don't understand why the number one reason is not mentioned green madness in the alleged fight against climate change and the e u green deal, which is the main reason for the price increase. among those affected by the soaring costs of finished company met that tissue which operates 9 paper miles across europe. the firm firm says, rising production costs may lead to toilet and kitchen paper becoming more expensive. moreover, production freezes are likely as energy prices continue to rise. meanwhile, in the u. k, media continue to share desperate measures to help those struggling to cope with the crisis. british daily the evening standard recommends disconnecting household appliances. switching to l e. d. light bulbs and washing dishes in a by mason. other ideas listed under

a clever energy saving tricks include taking showers, not bass, turning off heating and non residential rooms, and reducing the temperature and others. all, however, is not hostile. hungary caught in the energy situation of its own has reached out to russia for help with its energy blues, preparing to install to new russia, made nuclear power generators at a power plant. alexi leah child, the head of russia, state nuclear energy company. ross adam sees the move as a step of mutual trust at the theater. levy is restored here. this is the fast license in recent history obtained by raw sat 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. lee, 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. so we 2 of them lead to that. i will be the 1st time in 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 here a long history of mutual cooperation and energy, and the hungarian foreign minister has said he sees the agreement as a turning point, ensuring his country's energy security. as the atlanta 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? cuz this work has come to a new turning point as hundreds and even thousands of permits are needed for the construction of a new nuclear power plant. thanks to 2 new nuclear unit as we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp fluctuations and international energy market. we will therefore insure

a policy of reducing utility costs. i think that the obtaining a construction license as a major milestone was 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 says hungary 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 all the economy or a european union 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. he's made clear that he thinks it's just absolutely ridiculous and that he's just a minute to look after the interest of the people who had focus it on

years over to south asia. now were india is another example of 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 dre a commemoration event in moscow marketing, 75 years of indian independence. one such decision is strengthening its ties with russia. india has already increased its oil purchases from moscow, which reached a record level in june. and it is now said to further deepen relations in the military sphere with the 2 nations taking part in joint exercises later this month . the con countries on void. moscow says there's plenty more room for cooperation in the future. also, india always takes decisions on its own based on its own 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 forward. there is tremendous school for increasing entre to meet on 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, a lot of areas which can get this thing in tuning of course, traditional items like but also mocking 75 years of india, russia, diplomatic relations. and i am sure that this wonderful tradition, we have a free shipping quote. christian will continue well into the future with the west 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. i am personally dealing in economy and a like. we are the biggest suppliers for fashion governments in leather,

industry and industry. i'm working in the shipping the last 35 years, and now i see a big scope more as the european vans are not quoting here and of the, our targets now to achieve the double the sales as compared to the earlier years. and it's a good prospects and says the rural and group retreat has already been started. we have eliminated and said by $2.00. so now we are working and who was unhappy. this will really have put in the boost of economy in russia as well as in india, our invoice also on the basis and google basis. and we are importing the other like while and defense of these in the government are on route be and who will rate . it is a very good sign for the boost of economy to argentina. now we're protesters took

to the streets and forced to show support for the countries former president, christina kitchener, who faces up to 12 years in jail on corruption charges. oh, water cannons and tear gas were used to disperse a crowd that broke through police barriers in the capital of when else i'd as meanwhile numerous supporters of character. now, the vice president gathered in front of her apartment to show solidarity prosecutors of called the case. the biggest corruption scheme ever known in the country and our calling for kitchener a left us to be banned from public office for life. she is accused of leading a criminal organization and making millions of us dollars by procuring public contracts without a tender here tear. meanwhile, has denied the charges and says he is a victim of judicial and political persecution during her 2 terms as president, she was acquitted of criminal behavior several times,

but still face of 5 trials. we got reactions from the streets. if one had 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 hall, i 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. i'm in the news from north africa now we're at least 13 people have reportedly been killed and dozens wounded in clashes and libya's capital. o. 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 strong this arm fact. and that's as rival force has continued divide for power. as you can see,

military personnel took to the streets as of fighting subsided. the conflict of her due to rising tensions between 2 governments, those rolling libya's east and west. it is reported that the new prime minister, supporters flashed with forces loyal to his predecessor, was refusing to step down. the oil rich country has not had a stable and united government since nato intervention toppled. then leader move market dorothy 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 natives. chaotic withdrawal. awe 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. oh oh. busy i i want to go my hands, i go over it in a situation just a wait, wait, wait, wait for how long in i in a

while. oh, tuition is as possible in we will do everything we can to ensure that those people get a package that they did on our message to those women and men is clear. there is a home for you in the united states. if you so choose, we'll stay with you. just as you stood with. ah no pull out itself is remembered as one of the darkest days and nato's history with british authorities showing a complete failure understand the situation on the ground. here's our kids 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, as timed 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 kabul 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 time they had reason not to drag their feet 1st on evacuation. we agreed that we will continue to close our close corporation 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 warranted 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 on 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 state in cnx. i am no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all the history with

with with mm ah, welcome to world. and old russian saying has said that once you have a reason finding a pretext is only a matter of time, including finding a pretext for a war. the animosity between the rush and the united states has been building for a number of years. in fact, one could argue that it never really disappeared just diminished.
