phase, the shelling of the facility could lead to disastrous consequences, as it provides water to the neighboring apple. g, a nuclear power plant. one of the residential areas where the violence has intensified is the contested village of so i had severe which is still partially held by ukrainian troops who are shelling the russian control part of the village. this by the ongoing college. some locals have refused to leave their homes as ortiz, that wrong cause of a pause when the thing the village of reside summer is still partially under control of ukrainian nation, is forces. over the last 8 years, her residents here have been divided. one part of the village was under ukrainian control and the other one was under control of the nest people's republic. and that means that people here have been suffering under constant shelling for the last 8 years and it only intensified over the last 6 months. and that, of course,

also means that basic necessities here have very scarce. so we brought some humanitarian aids to make their lives just a little bit easier. right now we're heading. how long with the head of the sites of our let this love, he will show us the latest consequences hold ukrainian shilling. however, he's been here for the last 8 years and, and does not plan to leave because dish doesn't have jonathan for this is the city center. there have never been military positions here. all of our infrastructure is located here. all that is left in the ukrainians are trying to destroy through the the area where the administration building is located here in the zide silva. is that right in the epicenter of the shelling? now these are just some of the fragments of the shells that all ended on peaceful civilians. zeiss was still has a population. however, the place where we are located is now completely deserted. now we're still walking

around the sides of our but so we can't find any people at all. but so while we are walking, we have to do it very, very carefully, because there are still hundreds and hundreds of metal mines, anti personnel, so called butterfly mines, designed if not to kill. but to mame. a person for life took them, but in lieu of every day there is shelling baby i have a granddaughter and happy that i manage to send her away from here before everything started 6 months ago that she could have been killed here. for example, my husband was in the bedroom when the shelling started, most of the windows were blown out and fragments of glass flew at him. oh, it's unbearable to live here. do it another yes, i'm so tired. the shelling has been going on for 9 years already. we have neither our children nor grandchildren come to see us because they feel threatened least.

it's even hard to go out into the garden. there are bullets everywhere. every thing explodes. the roof of our house f, as in fragments, 14 residence halls, zide silver, were killed by ukrainian nation. his forces since the beginning of the conflict back in 201431 people were wounded. and unfortunately, the number of casualties may grow. just like the number of 4 houses schools, kindergarten is destroyed. now this is just one of those kindergartens. it was freshly built back in the year 2020. but so far it's cannot open its doors due to constant shilling from on call for of our teeth. don't ask people's republic. across in east asia, china is on higher let, and warns that it's ready to repel any publications in the taiwan straits as also to us war ships pass through neutral waters. the early on sunday,

washington claims its vessels conducted a routine translate in accordance with international law, the usa, the move demonstrates its commitment to a free and open india pacific region. china responded immediately by saying trucks the ships as they made their way through the straits. well, the chinese military is poised to respond to any additional incidence. as a taiwanese defense ministry said that detected $23.00 chinese aircraft and 8 military vessels operating around taiwan. as paging military operations nearby islands continue. what is the 1st such case of american naval activity in the disputed area in the way called a controversial visit to taiwan by us, how speak and nazi pelosi, early this month. now paging concert is taiwan. a part of china and responded to polosa trip with a series of military exercises around the island. he's a reminder of how the situation unfolded. house picker, nancy pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan. visiting taiwan

is being taiwan. why is she assisting that she may well go to taiwan. it would be a serious violation of the one china principal and a grave infringement on china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. those who play with fire will come to no good end ah, 300 . an unpredictable moment chinese military assembling at 6 different locations around the island us china relations are on shaky ground. seems to me your main goal was to stir up trouble. thanks for bringing more

problems to the world. america stands with taiwan. raging and and it will impose and specifying sanctions jonna will stop cooperation with us on several prominent issues if period of measures are being directed at the united states. now the u. s. is acting treacherously on the taiwan issue. fixed ago, vice president of the sense of china and globalization say that by sailing the warships near taiwan, the u. s. shows is disregard of china's jurisdiction in the region. the international law of the sea is governing behavior. like the passage through the power the street, it is open for navigation by sir william as well as naval ships, probably need to be subject to the jurisdiction of china. that simple,

i think the united states is misleading the world by sailing through the taiwan street as if for example, the r abiding by the passage, but telling the whole world that they are not abided by the innocent passage. they want to do this as a demonstration to china and tell the whole world that they disregard. turn those jurisdiction in the taiwan straits. what the united states is doing ever since nancy pelosi is illicit visit to taiwan, is a series of provocations. their aim is simple, they want to come out taiwan from china. this is in violation of china's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and they will never succeed. he is from north africa now, or at least 30000 people have been killed and a 159 wounded in clashes in libya's capital. as, according to the country's health ministry, this is the aftermath of the fighting. it broke out on saturday and the libyan

capital tripoli, rival militia groups, exchanged heavy gunfire with local media, saying the classes were initiated by one of the capital strongest factions that were new to violence comes as rival forces continue to revive the power the conflict has we ignited you to a stand off between 2 rival governments. you went back to tripoli based government of national unity under rival administration, supported by the parliament in libby as eastern city of science playing each other for the clashes. the country has not had a stable government since mom and dad was toppled and killed. we find nathan facts rebels in 2011 lifted off a tour in independent academic and award winning journalist from libby a safe. his country has been suffering since the nato intervention in 2011. and libya has changed tremendously, not beyond recognition, but now we're actually everything. is it worse?

you know, the country slower and the frame, and the very sense of the world and militia on to out of the country. they are the brand and they have to control even to come to the hearing, to really what i am to do from the main reason behind all this case. while living in libya now goes back to the router. it's all and that has the, in the, for the depression in the area to be able to clean the natal frazier, which was really an invasion, was not just a humanitarian intervention. was there called in the west, but that was a platen, this old william crazier for an independent small country that libya specifically to get rid of her a really is in the double being brought into situation is quite difficult.

be would have a hard time to make in the middle and end me write a skyrocketing and shortages are 2nd items and communities made him even more expensive for the already libyans. and it's becoming, you know, quite a, quite a difficult line for actually to live, especially in the cover to nowadays the ears, foreign policy chief se therapies facing a major challenge is due to a deepening energy crisis. but there is a barreling fist that it's the price you have, teens must be willing to pay for freedom. we are facing major challenges in the short term. there is no denying that the price of gas is rising, but we must be willing to pay a price for freedom. after all, the war in ukraine is not just a war for ukrainians, but a war for our freedom. and we're paying a like tricity price is sold to new records on friday. the year were had contract

with germany, electricity reach $995.00 euro per megawatt hours. while the french equivalent such past 1100, you're right. more than 10 fold increase in both countries from last year you were paying media outlets raising fresh concerns about the energy crisis. but i just addition all french magazine surely show you the president betron collecting firewood was saying 1st come 1st serve. well, britain, the mirror has called on you, katie this to finally do something about the rising prices with a tabloid, suggesting that some buttons will freeze to death this coming winter. many germans aren't happy with their bells either, and they say they simply cannot afford a further price hike. energy prices are of course, gigantic issue and there is no question that they are a terrible burden for consumers throughout europe. if i have no understanding why energy companies make such improbable profits and the consumers have to pay for it

on the entire shouldn't, we're just students. and you can already tell that there is somehow less money left in your wallet. at the end of the month, of course, it is a bit of a worry for consumers. energy savings also have their limits. at that point, politicians have to intervene by lowering the taxes. if you questions in our costs of living have risen in our household, but there are many ways you can save energy. for example, instead of heating your entire house to 20 degrees, you can shut the door and keep other rooms where you are not spending much time a bit cooler in the meanwhile, hungary far i'm going to say that you are paying states are under the influence of quotes the liberal mainstream and that's why they're imposing sanctions on russian energy. hungary does not want to negotiate any energy sanctions, either in relation to oil or natural gas. and i want to say that we are not alone in this. it may seem that there is political courage and political stability, but not everyone shares these qualities. there is such incredible pressure from the liberal mainstream on those who tell the truth, that if there is not

a certain level of political stability, the country will not be able to act independently. is not freedom for the average german nor average britain or frenchman who can't hate his home this winter. some in europe don't regard. don't share mister barrels opinion either or as johnston is called the shared sacrifice. but everybody in britain who has the capacity to think, moser, forrest johnson, will not be part of that sacrifice. mister barrel of mister johnson, calling upon the ordinary people of europe to sacrifice for the geo. them's their own safety and security this winter for the geopolitical aims. of the united states, that is what there is these really being called for. he oldest talk of freedom and values. it means precisely nothing. it is about a attempt by the united states to preserve it's a gemini, over europe. and that is why they keep pursuing this proxy war in ukraine with the russians. and until people are ready to go out and protest and force the

politicians to behave differently, they're going to keep using this excuse and hiding behind lofty rhetoric of freedom and democracy when really this is an ugly game of power politics in which the european working and middle class populations are the sacrifice that the politicians in europe are willing to make for the benefits of preserving their relationship with the americans. the west to expect their problems are going to be our problems. but that's will not happen as well for the pakistan prime minister emron con, told my colleague in o'neill during an exclusive interview this week. the wide ranging discussion came shortly after and his lunch bag caught extended tongues bail following terrorism charges against him. they have made this into terrorism case, they ban my life coverage on, on, on, on screen and, and they're trying to ban me from politics because there's a case of contempt against me as since i left office 4 months back.

never has there been such a public response for, for any political party as it is for my body to do? the government has been working. they out there watching us growing popularity. we . we swept the day by elections and the biggest province and been job. there were though other 2 bi election which was swept. so there, but scared and that's why they're clamping down. if we go back, mister can 2, when you are, i stayed from power in the spring time. you've mentioned several times that certain documents exist that confirm foreign interference in your removal from power. are you in any position to tell us what those documents may be? well deserve the cipher alert conversation between the biggest on ambassador and washington, and the under secretary of state, or of the you of the u. s. there's

a conversation between them where he threatens the pakistani master that unless i m . ron hahn was removed as a prime minister in a no confidence, a motion that book that still wasn't table as yet that there would be consequences of august sun. the biggest problem is that western countries expect their problems through to become our problems. and background for you now in april, a no confidence vote removed a mankind from the country's top political position and the x p. n has been holding large rallies regularly ever since early this lamp is chief of staff, was arrested on charges of sedition. this consists shop as school was tortured by police in so they something officials deny it was bad. psyche ration was used in a campaign rally to quote, take action against the police chief and the judge which led to the terrorism charges. the former cricket still has immunity. from arrest until his next high

court hearing on august 31st him on con, came on the intense international pressure for visiting moscow early this year. during his discussion with our c pakistan's, formerly to said he was simply seeking to boost economic ties between the nations. well look, you don't countries, foreign policy must be for the benefit of their own public. do 120000000 pakistan is elected me. my brian, he had to be there. what is good for their benefit, their rights, that interests that has to be my priority. and so, what i had took the trip to russia, and this was all the stakeholders, one board. the idea was that we would improve our relationship with russia. and we would, you know, we have trading links with russia. we want to improve the trading links. we already

were a pipeline, a gas pipeline was, was being planned 56 years back before i came to power. so we wanted to cement that contract and then we wanted to buy cheaper oil from, from russia, as well as wheat, $100000000.00 bargains, sundays of hon. 50000000 below the poverty line. 50000000 just above the poverty line. when the prices go up, when inflation bites in western countries the only, they're just have a drop in the standard of living. in our country, people go below the poverty line. they're gonna have to square be the day. so my interest was the people of pakistan and arbors who this didn't go down well nor now from the nation still suffering. the consequences of western intervention and special coverage on afghanistan continues as we entered the final stage marking

one year since nato's chaos at withdrawal. ah, to day monks one year since brittany brought his disastrous 20 year presence in afghanistan to a close. even many of those it employed and has now promised it will relocate behind. oh oh. busy like a really bad situation. it does say wait, wait, wait,

hold on with a situation as possible. mm. we do 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 stay with you just as you stood with her

withdrawal. always remember that's one of the donkey stays in nato's history. with critic, saying british and american authority showed a complete failure to understand the situation on the ground, his ortiz donald quarter with 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 cobble became the seat of power for these law mach 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's wider interests. even if the exact point at which the tele dense 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 scanning stance clearly

wasted in 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 in 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. johnson's predecessor, teresa may suggested the prime minister had hoped on a wing and a prayer and 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 rag tag. insurgency, that in the end was more determined to win. ah, a massive fight that has been almost completely destroyed in marketing, rushes southern vulgar grant region remains localized. according to officials. the roof is burning on an area covering around 7000 square meters. rushes emergencies. ministry has denied early report that the fire had spread to near by houses saying it is contained within the markets. 13853 rather people were evacuated from nearby buildings. no casualties have been reported at this stage. they thanks for joining us. they were naughty, international went back in 30 minutes with will see them

ah ah, ah ah ah with

ah with mm ah welcome to worlds apart and own russian saying hazard that once you have a reason finding a pretext is only a matter of time in getting finding a pretext for a war, the animosity between the rush and the united states has been building for a number of years and.
