2 of its warships near the island. and is america on the brink of a 2nd civil war? that's the concern of the washington post senior editor, following the release of a heavily redacted f. b. i search warrant for donald trump's florida mansion with good morning for march international moscow. welcome to the our top news stories from around the globe. i'm carol isabel. let's begin with the latest situation in ukraine where kids forces have, again, shell residential areas of n goldar where europe's largest nuclear power plant is located. that's according to the officials in the wider oper, roacha region, who say the attack left at least 9 civilians injured with 2 of them in serious conditions. authority said number of apartment buildings were held and car is set

ablaze with care forces using american made whole search to target disability. the areas around the city, local officials believe he is trying to disrupt a plan, visit to the area by an i a delegation, while ukrainian authorities have accused russia of the attack. official say, a recent attack on the power plan itself was foiled by russian troops who managed to shoot down a ukrainian kamikaze wrote drone we heard from the chairman of the we are together with russia movement ladder me rogles who believes it's not just keep that should be held accountable door store, please hold your shots of the taxes landscape. attempts to disrupt the arrival of the international atomic energy agency and also revenge a local residence for their desire to reveal the truth about what is happening. because they wrote an open letter to the representatives of the agency and then signed it. so that could be no doubt that this is the peoples will use number of the residents of the region are asking the agency to investigate the situation more

recent days. the number of attacks has been off the scale. the nuclear power plant is the main target of the landscape terrorists. and they themselves are engaged the nuclear terrorism. they do this with the encouragement of the west london washington, and also should be held responsible for the attacks on the plant as accomplices. because the weapons that have uses a weapons produced by these countries, we were trapped inside our houses and could not get out. the military were firing heavy machine guns. this is our building where the classes took place all the way to the end of the street. so it was impossible to escape and god knows the effect that people have done nothing wrong wrong there. and now to don bass were russian lead forces are continuing their offensive against ukrainian strongholds. on this map you can see where the most intense battles are taking place. one is in severest a city, reportedly blocked by russian lead forces from 3 different sides. also there is fierce fighting on the outskirts of the car, which from which john yeske officials,

the ukraine has been shelling residential areas of the republic, russian led forces. i'm now attempting to encircle the city. plus there's an active offensive in the city of arthur moves where russia says one ukrainian battalion lost 60 percent of its personnel, and with us was drawn the front line, our tv, or donald reports from the region where russia, the famous wagner group, or inaction. well, i guess i could say we are in the epicenter of the ukrainian counter offensive in the don bass. how come you might ask? well, give has been promising to go on the offensive for quite a while now. and in fact, they have been attempting to recapture the previously last positions and villages for weeks here, but well, to no avail. this hail mary attempted a counter assault in fact caused the ukrainians a few more strongholds last to accompany as efficient in battle. as it is closed

for outsiders, the wagner group. how do they think? how do they fight? how do they win our filming crew get an exclusive glimpse at the inner workings of the orchestra? ah slim of the don't care. we walked from here. we moved carefully and quietly in anticipation of the enemy may be in front of us. we came to the dam. we look around and asked for permission to continue. when we got approval, we move forward as a group. we pass may be 5060 meters and then we made contact. after it started, we moved back just right here. we lay down under the dam. the enemy was shooting, as they thought we were sitting at the bottom of the dam. they tried to kill us.

they did not succeed about the plan up. we were waiting for help in this house. in this help arrived from the left flank where there was sniper, the machine gun screw arlena. they blocked the attacks holding the left side where the snipers were 1st step up. go with tanks and rockets, ukrainian troops blew a hole in the dam, hoping the flood will stop the musicians advance in its tracks. didn't work up donald engel, of annual fall of the wrong in this, on the 2nd floor that was of machine gun flooring. out his photo no downstairs, there was a ukrainian soldier with a kalashnikov, and he was shooting us as we crawled across the wasteland. off we fell back, we caught artillery support so they would help us. those guys knew what they are doing. they should have hun tastic jobs. so good after that, we could continue on with the knitters of a burglar. several waves of reinforcements failed to tip the balance of power in ukraine's favor here. black body bags most in factory packaging serve as an indicator of how hastily the defenders had to abandon the village. this'll do

enemies were hiding. hey, this is a kalashnikov like machine gun. they treated their wounds. hey, there were about 6 people. it was in. this chard cock i saw of ukraine's t 72 tank is all that remains of what used to be a bastion of defense just outside the town of octomom. i make a ton of reporting from the dawn bus i'd say across in east asia. china is on high alert and more that it's ready to repel any provocations in the taiwan strait after to us warships passed through neutral waters there. earlier on sunday, washington claims its vassals were conducting routine transit in accordance with international law, and demonstrates its commitment to a free and open indo pacific region. china has said attract the ships as they made their way through the straight with their military poise to respond. that's as ty, ones defense ministry says it detected $23.00 chinese aircraft and 8 military

vessels operating around the island as beijing's military operations continue. it's the 1st such case of american naval activity in the disputed area since u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi is controversial visit to taipei earlier this month . they jane considers taiwan a part of china and responded to policies trip with a serious of military exercises. here's a reminder of how the situation unfolded. how speaker nancy pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan. visiting taiwan is in taiwan. why is she insisting 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,

we are in 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. with placing an ounce, it will impose and specifying sanctions. china will stop cooperation with us on several permanent issues, a period of measures are being directed at the united states. now the u. s. is acting treacherously on the taiwan issue.

victor, gal, vice president of angio, the center for china and globalization says through such actions, the u. s. shows a blatant disregard for china's jurisdiction in the region. the international law of the sea is governing behavior like the passage through the taiwan strait. it is open for navigation by sylvia as well as naval ships, but they 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 innocent 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 those jurisdictions. in the taiwan straits, what the united states is doing ever since nancy pelosi is illicit,

busy to tie one is a series of publications. there ain is simple. they want to come out taiwan from china. this is in violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. and they will never succeed. while europe continues to be griped by an energy crisis facing storing prices and high inflation, e u foreign policy chief joseph, still says that the price europeans 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. european electricity price a sort to new record highs on friday. the year had contract for german electricity reached 995 year olds per megawatt hours,

while the french equivalent surge past $1130.00 euros a more than tenfold increase in both countries. since last year. european media outlets are raising fresh concerns about the crises, the latest edition of french satirical magazine. charlie, he shows president mac prone collecting firewood while saying 1st come 1st served while britons mirror has called on you k leaders to finally do something about the rising prices. suggesting that some people will freeze to death this coming winter . many germans aren't happy with their bills either and say they simply cannot afford a further price hike. as of yet, i keep eyes as energy prices are, of course, gigantic dish. and there is no question that they are a terrible burden for consumers throughout europe. should. if i have no understanding why energy companies make such improbable profits and the consumers have to pay for it on the i have isn't i should in on 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. different at that point natal additions have to intervene by lowering the taxes high. if you could continue on the student, our costs of living have risen in our household. that there are many ways you can save energy. for example, instead of heating your entire house to 20 degrees alone, you can shut the door and keep other rooms where you are not spending much time. a bit cooler, conventional can, can i don't know. so meanwhile hunger is foreign minister says european states are under the influence of quote, the liberal mainstream. and that's why they're imposing sanctions on russian energy just for maybe like washington, im, hungary does not want to negotiate any energy. sanctions have room relation to oil or natural gas. mitchell, i don't want to say that we're not alone in this. it may seem that his political courage and political stability, but unfortunately not everyone shares these qualities. if at the last meeting of the counselor at e, u foreign ministers, the issue of oil sanctions was discussed when several colleagues came up and asked

peter, are you against it? boy? and i replied, my friend, you know me, you can't say that you are in solidarity with me for oil, there is such incredible pressure from the liberal mainstream on those who tell the truth and ask them the line if there is not a certain level of political stability, the country will not be able to act independently, which is not freedom for the average german nor average britain or frenchman who can't hate it. he is 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 knows that 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, hey, all this talk of freedom of 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. ah, more questions than answers a search warrant used by the f b. i to facilitate a search a former us president and donald trump, florida residence is itself raising eyebrows is more than half of the $38.00 page document is redacted. leaving questions about a political motive ahead of mid term elections. glad to see the f. b, i being fully transparent and releasing the warrant for trumps raid. i've seen

plenty of warrens in my life and this basically sums up the redacted gestapo, f. b, i warrant issued for trump, f b i directly spied on candidate in president. trump lied repeatedly to get courts to approve face a war and targeting him, paid a foreign national to gin up smears on him. comi f. b. i's fired director stolen leak. trump's f b i files so rate on trumps. home is par for the course. the bureau conducted a search of trans mara lago residence this month, accusing him of breaking the espionage act, saying he may have stolen classified documents concerning the u. s. nuclear program . however, trump denies the accusations and claims that biden's administration is trying to throw him in jail, so he'll be unable to run in 2024. the scandal surrounding the warrant is contributing to the polarization of american

society. that's according to the washington post senior editor who warned that such moves could spark a 2nd civil war in the us. we now go live to armen laura, the vice share of the libertarian national committee. so why does the f b i so unwilling to share the full details as to why it's search trumps residents? oh, the official reason is going to be that if there is an ongoing investigation, they're not going to release certain details the public. but i think the, the ha, ha, ha, ha, position is that there is something in that war and that will be so incendiary and so divisive that it'll call the f b. i to lose even more credibility than it has already lost. and given the allegations, how possible is it that trump will be arrested or even imprisoned? and so if so, what kind of reaction can we expect from conservatives? i think that if trump was imprisoned for any,

any crime that i mean anything you've been accused of. so far really feels more like a technicality. so he's imprisoned on a technicality. i think you would expect a level of, of anger. you even potentially violence that hasn't been seen in the united states for a century. it's trump is eventually in prison. where do you expect his boats to go? if perhaps fellow republican run de santis? is he a viable candidate? yeah, if, if, if chrome doesn't run that his boats are going to go to the santa's. santa's has some of the same qualities in trump. and in some areas he's actually bolder, de santis has really made it clear that he opposes aspects of the welfare state. that trump also at least pretended to oppose. for example, the santa, this showed that he opposes government schooling and government propaganda. he was the government out of education. and of course that has a tremendous appeal among conservatives and was the last time

a presidential candidate of any kind face such persecution. it's not very common in the us as we have seen as it goes. i mean, i think the last candidate that a phased out, a level of persecution would probably been abraham lincoln. it's, it is a level that we really haven't seen in a very, very long time. and if trump is guilty, what b f b? i suspects, why would he take such documents? if he's guilty of what the f b i suspects, why would he take such documents? i think that when, when you look at the rules and regulations around security, many of them are so complex and so byzantine, that it's very easy to make a mistake. and the normal response, when you know a high level official make a mistake is basically just correct mistake. you know, we recognize that, that following these very complex rules can be tricky. now if the response, instead of, you know, you made a mistake with this very technical situation, let's fix it if the response and said is to say your enemy of america,

let's send you to jail that shows a level of partisanship and the f, b i and then the criminal justice stablish meant that would confirm the worst fears among observed and among libertarians. and even among quite a few democrats, and just as a follow up real quick, what do you think that the, that the democratic party is trying to cause a civil conflict between the 2 rivalries? i think right now the level would be closer to a national divorce than to a national war. but again, something where there's that much sacrifice separation that much acrimony, if one side uses what's perceived as force by the other side, for example, and f, b, i ray could be perceived as force. and the other side is going to be more likely to respond. unkind, and that's where we could see it escalation into violence. arvin laura vice share for the libertarian national committee. thank you. it's me on the

now news from north africa where at least 32 people have been killed and 159 wounded in clashes in libby as capital, according to the countries health ministry. this is the aftermath of the fighting that broke out on saturday and tripoli. rival militia groups exchange heavy gun fire with local media. same clashes were initiated by one of the capital strongest arm factions. the renewed violence comes as rival forces continue to buy for power . we asked local residents, what happened? name is around 1 am. so we heard explosions and gunshots, which were increasingly getting farther away than the militia gathered under our bells, and we were trapped. there's no gas out, and this was not the 1st time we experience this situation. you can clearly see that glass was broken and caused down to compensate. may go compensated for this damage of ocean and we were trapped inside the house isn't could not get out of the

militiamen firing heavy machine gun. this is, this is our building where the class took place all the way to the end of the street. so it was impossible to escape, and god knows that the effective people have done nothing wrong for them. on the, the conflict says reignite and due to a stand off between 2 rival governments, the un back tripoli based government of the national unity and a rival administration supported by the parliament in libby as eastern city of co broke. both sides blame each other for the clashes. the country has not had a stable government, says margaret duffy was toppled, toppled and killed by nato back rebels in 2011 shot lebanese university professor jamal will came, says western meddling has made libyans live much worse than nature has the story of libya on the next operating change of the, under the pretext of imposing a gemini human rights on all this weapon formula to justify intervention and

countries that are local criticism again. but during his rule, the resources of the libyan people of libya were in the hands of the people. now we see that the people of all these rights and all these advantages to the favor of many shows that are supported by bodies lived in atlanta, could much vote. i believe that the west under you and i could state all of the problems. there were the ones to instigate, global, and levy on the 1st hand, and they were the ones to her. and i from mann and agenda all the finding libya into over the spots in order to reduce the resources the way the west does with the resources all,

not much than companies. and now to our special coverage on afghanistan, which marks one year since nato's chaotic withdrawal. ah, 12 months on taliban foreign minister mohammed, yahoo claims the u. s. is using pakistani aerospace to launch a trone drug drone attacks on afghanistan. calling it proved that america's unwanted interference continues. here's archie's peter scott and how u. s. drone strikes regularly had civilians on the ground in one of its passing gifts after its 20 year long war enough gun. it's done. us conducted a drone strike on a vehicle in cobble. this was meant for an i says k terrace, the valley targets whose car was apparently pots with explosives, retaliation for the suicide bombing that killed

a 13 us servicemen at the airport just days earlier, bought the new york times, carried out an investigation that revealed the awful truth, the person killed in the car was 43 year old. the mari amadi and am audi was no terrorist anything but it was in fights an 8 worker for 15 years at nutrition in education international, which is an american organization that helps fights malnutrition. he was killed as he pulled into his driveway. it's home. ah ah ah, who are lightning? i thought that they would catch us. i can't forget that moment. we were standing

outside in the street, chatting with friends and there was a huge blast. i looked around to find out what happened while i saw the main gate of the house on the ground. flame threw isabel from the house. the building was burning. i saw a children's bodies torn into pieces. i saw their arms, my and around, and legs and feet. it was horrible. ah . formula. they caught the session that night when the americans had announced they had targeted. i says we were shocked. it was a completely false proclamation. their claims could prove. inferred the day, jerry ah ah, troy with

i'm when faced with this horrific realization, even us lawmakers expressed outrage the guy the biden administration drone. was he an aide worker or an ice is k operative? ah. the administration is, of course, reviewing that ah, that strike ah, and i'm sure that a, you know, full assessment will be will be full. you don't know if it was an aide worker or an ices k operative. i don't, i don't know because we're reviewing it. we'll see you think you'd kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone whether he's an aide worth her or he's an ice is k, and only went bites into a corner. did the pentagon finally admit it made a mistake and say it was sorry. i offer my profound condolences to the family and friends of those who were killed. this strike was taken in the earnest belief that it would clear an imminent threat to our forces and iraqi was at the airport. but

it was a mistake. and i all for my sincere apology. having realized the error of his ways, the pentagon then endeavored to make amends for this botched stride to conduct a thorough investigations the events and somehow make amends to the family. 2 months later, the conclusion of that review came out. that's a mistake. it's a regrettable mistake, it's an honest mistake. i understand the consequences, but it's not criminal, conduct random conduct negligence. that's right. everyone was let's off the hook. no misconduct or negligence. no disciplinary action. just a breakdown in communication wrongly identifying the targets and recommendations were made to avoid similar events happening again in the future. a modest form employer based in california was outraged at the injustice. how can our military wrongly take the lives of 10 precious afghan people and hold no one accountable in any way? what messages sending to family members who lost their loved ones. and my employees

who lost a beloved colleague under mart is, is not the only life to have been lost without any accountability from the u. s. military, between 242020 the u. s. can do some more than 13000 drone strikes. enough gun is done going up to $900.00 civilians including more than $100.00 children. so a modest case is not unique, but it's a symbolic of the chaos surrounding americas withdrawal. the tragic twists in the story is the amadi and his family had applied for refugee status in the us. and we're waiting for a response. i mean, dedicated 15 years of his life working for the us based a group been stead a. marty was killed by the very nation he was seeking safe haven in a tragic end to tragic 20 years. and that's are up on the hours most pressing new stories from around the world. don't forget to head over to r t dot com for more news updates. thanks for joining us. see you again at the top of the hour.

ah, with welcome to worlds apart and own russian saying hazard 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 russia and the united states has been building for a number of years. in fact, one could argue that it never really disappeared, just diminished with the end of the cold war. how far it can the current conflict over ukraine, take it and what does it mean for the rest of the world? to discuss it, i'm now joined by what is id professor of political.
