11:04 pm
olivia yugoslavia that there isn't much care given much priority given to protecting civilians. in fact, in those wars, nato targeted civilians and kill millions and turn tens of millions more into refugees. so in this nato proxy war and ukraine of targeting civilians is par for the course. it's the way they operate. there are a few reasons. one is that they want to demoralize that the local population, they want to turn them against russia. and the, or in some cases, as they did in syria, they use their proxy forces. nato uses its proxy forces to attack civilians and then to blame the opposing side. and now to don bass, where 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 on the

11:06 pm
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 donkey. we walked from it. we moved carefully and quietly in anticipation that the enemy may be in front of us. we came to the dam. we look around and ask 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, alyssa, the enemy was shooting us. they thought we were sitting at the bottom of the dam.
11:07 pm
they tried to kill us, they did not succeed to get the plan up. we were waiting for help in this house. in this help arrived from the left flank where there was sniper, a 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 about donald o'neill, a federal law firm of in house. on the 2nd floor, there was a machine gun flooring, out his photo no downstairs. there was a ukrainian soldier with a kalashnikov, and he was shooting us as we cross across the waste on to go off. we fell back. we called artillery support and said they would help us from those guys knew what they are doing. they did a fantastic job so good after that, we could continue on with afternoon's of a burglar. several waves of reinforcements failed to took the balance of power in ukraine's favor here. black body bags most in factory packaging serve as an
11:08 pm
indicator of how hastily the defenders had to abandon the village, his bill. so for a day enemies were hiding. hey, this is their kalashnikov like machine gun. they treated their wounds heads. there were about 6 people. it were this charred carcass of ukraine's t $72.00 tank is all that remains of what used to be a bastion of defense just outside the town of octomom i make is done of reporting from the dumbass. i'd say the president of the central african republic is moving to draft a new constitution that will allow him to run for a 3rd term that's after 6 years and power during which moscow has helped him bring stability to the country. the central african republic is one of the world's poorest countries and has been torn apart by civil wars for the past 9 years. but since 2018, when current president to a dera, asked moscow for assistance in fighting terrorism, there's been a change for the good. our correspondent policy clear visit at the capital bang. we
11:09 pm
were russian military instructors are training local police to fight terrorism and crime. a fall climb from how these streets looked a few short months ago. then bandits were on the loose and rebels, terrorized homes, rape, murder and theft were commonplace. now authorities are able to keep a lid on things. this is the actually gang police. they patrol and maintain control in the various neighborhoods of the city of monkey. as you can see, the faces are covered, it's important for them to be anonymous because the areas that they are taking, ah, the neighborhoods from where they come. they looking for illegal weapons that are being smuggled drags any kind of stolen goods and radio. they are keeping a tight lid, making sure that the city is functioning and safe home returned to the central african republic at the end of 2018 after the president asked moscow for assistance
11:10 pm
. security officials, how grateful. oh no, he would like to thank our partners from russia. i think that the russian instructors helped us a lot in our operational and tactical training. we've conducted a lot of exercises with russian and structures. we're witnessing improvement, more stability in the country. it used to be a bit difficult to maintain stability because we only worked with the resources we had at that time. thanks to the allies who support us. now we can say that stability is gradually emerging in central african society. of the city is safe for now. there is peace. the city is calm. there are only small bounded groups left to carry out raids, and we over lent leslie pursuing them. we are trying to protect the city from the res at these bonded groups commit, because this is all due to our russian allies who came to help us providing us with their forces and teaching us military tactics. and thanks to the funds they provide us the city a safe for now. we've now been traveling about 2 hours from the capital to
11:11 pm
a military base on the outskirts of the country. it's here we, russian, instructors have been training soldiers from around the country. the 1st job of the russian military instructors was to unite the country's armed forces. exclaims chuckner. columbus shook. the country needs a significant number of security, military and police personnel. they need to be trained equipped, deploy to remote areas for conducting operations. that's why the government of the central african republic wants to have instructors who have a proven track record and can support the military and police. and that number will be expanded to 3000. and the precious now and for the un security council to lift its arms and fog on the country. while moscow was instrumental in having a partially lifted, the blockade prevents the army from getting much needed weapon supplies. that the same time series and mercenaries continuously get weapons through their illegal channel. the situation may benefit certain western countries because it opens the door to the several as in security in the central african republic through supply
11:12 pm
and bandits with weapons. what's ironic is that some watch dogs have accused russia of bad behavior. frankly speaking, we see how different organizations send it in soldiers to the country, profit from the situation. they carry out business products, which are only possible in a week an unstable country. this is the simulation of the typical liberation of a village. here in the central african republic, as has been happening right across the country. the village is controlled by rebels and in approaching from different directions are the soldiers. some are engaged in fighting, some are detracting attention, and some i actually actively liberating the village itself. now the whole thing takes about 3 to 5 minutes. you can see over here the rebels acting as if they dying. and you can see the soldiers approaching from behind. this is exactly the scenario that has played out in tens of towns across the country and hundreds of
11:13 pm
villages. to the extent that 80 percent of the central african republic has now been liberated. d months and months of violence and instability, the central african republic is finally safe policy on monkey. while europe remains afflicted by an energy crisis facing storing prices and high inflation. u foreign policy chief joseph morales, still insist that's 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 prices sort to new record highs on friday. the year ahead, contract for german electricity reached $995.00 euros per megawatt hours while the french equivalent search pass $1130.00 euro's
11:14 pm
a more than 10 fold increase in both countries. since last year, european media outlets are raising fresh concerns about the crisis. the latest addition of french satirical magazine, charlie have dough shows president micron collecting firewood while saying 1st come 1st served while britons, the mirror has called on you k leaders to finally do something about the rising prices, suggesting that some people will freeze to death this winter many germans aren't happy with their bills either and say they simply can't afford another price hike, hazard yankee prices. energy prices are of course gigantic dish and there is no question that they are a terrible burden for consumers throughout europe. and 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
11:15 pm
course, it is a bit of a worry for consumers. energy savings also have their limits. different at that point with all additions, have to intervene by lowering the taxes. if you questions in augustine, 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, you can shut the door and keep other rooms where you are not spending much time, a bit cooler, conventional thinking in the 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, which is like that maybe like washington im hungry does not want to negotiate any energy. sanctions have relation to oil or natural gas. mitchell, and i want to say that we're not alone in this. it may seem, there is political courage and political stability, but unfortunately not everyone shares these qualities. it's not the last meeting of the consulate e, u foreign ministers. the issue of oil sanctions was discussed and several colleagues came up and asked peter, you against it for it. and i replied,
11:16 pm
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 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 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 for everybody in britain who has the capacity to think moser forest johnson will not be part of that sacrifice. mister barrell 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 here. all this talk of freedom and values. it means precisely nothing. it is about a attempt by the united states to preserve it's a gemini,
11:17 pm
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, to mexico. now where the import of russian goods has sort 20 percent. according to the latest figures from the bank of mexico, in the 1st half of the year import from russia reach $1190000000.00, that's after 2021 trade turnover reached a record of high exceeding 4500000000. russia is a key supplier of fertilizers to mexico and accounts for nearly
11:18 pm
a quarter of all imports of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash. we spoke with victor manuel king dana, a political expert who thinks mexico needs even more imports from russia to maintain agricultural development. today, katie, minnesota, we need 2 things. russian 1st law is, is coming to mexico and an increase in mutual investments. it would be very nice to continue cooperating. russia contribute to the cultural development of mexico. we don't have enough fertilizers right now, which affects the agricultural mexico very bodily. that's why we need more fertilizers from russia. the rise comes amid continued unprecedented pressure on the russian economy from western countries. more than 30 countries of imposed sanctions, affecting energy imports, financial transactions and shipments. victor manuel, king dana again. thanks. mexicans would suffer greatly if trade with russia was suspended or you can look at where we see some kind of pressure on the mexican government at the same time in portion russia. very important because previously
11:19 pm
the whole infrastructure and production of fertilizers was destroyed. i hope that deliveries will not be suspended due to conflicts unrelated to commercial trade because the mexican people will be the 1st to be affected. it will be more expensive to produce the necessary amounts of products, and it will also be more expensive for people to buy essential agricultural products. that's why it's so important to continue the trade between russia and mexico. ah, several 100 cars. i've taken to the streets of moscow to show their solidarity with serbia decorative with russian and serbian flags. the vehicles cruised along the capital central freights as part of the brother for brother rally. the event is to be understood as one of the largest in support of serbia by russian since 1999. we heard from some of the participants you know, there are a lot of us gathered here. we didn't expect this many that we expected about $100.00 cars, but it turned out to be around $300.00 the issue of support for serbia as relevant
11:20 pm
. now, they need us now. we should support them in participating in the rally for a 3rd time. there are more and more of us and we will continue to do so. i want russia to help serbia to survive. and serbia helps us to survive. when we needed support, the support of the serbs was very strong. i am a serbian myself. i came here today with my family, the serbian people support russia. now we're far from our homeland, where there are great difficulties now. but we will continue to support russia. the motor ended with a video called to belgrade were a fellow rally involving tens of thousands of people was being held in support of russia, as well as calling for the unification of serbia and traditional values. many waved russian flags, and some carried posters of latter mir poon. more questions than answers a search warrant used by the f b. i to facilitate a search
11:21 pm
a former us president donald trump, florida residence is itself raising eyebrows as more than half of the 30. a 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 vice a warrant targeting him, paid a foreign national to gin up smears on him. comi f. b. i's fired director stolen league. trump's f b i files so rate on trumps. home is par for the course. the bureau conducts a search of trumps mar lago residence this month, accusing him a breaking the espionage acts saying he may have stolen classified documents concerning the u. s. nuclear program. however,
11:22 pm
trump denies the accusations and claims at biden's administration is trying to throw him in jail. so he'll be unable to run in 2024. unlike twitter users, many of whom are mocking the f b. i's approach the washington post, the senior editor sees trump's ongoing legal blues as a potential prelude for civil war due to the increasing polarization of american society. earlier i spoke with arvin laura, the vice chair for the libertarian national committee, who thinks there might be political violence if trump is arrested. the ideal response to violence and an f b i rayed on somebody's home as, as it could be seen perceived as a type of violence. the ideal response to violence is non violence and calm, but the more common response to violence is just more violence. so if, for example, trump is forcibly taken away and forcibly imprisoned, then it's going to be much more likely for his supporters to then respond with some
11:23 pm
other kind of violence. it might be something similar to january 6, might be something totally different. but the idea is that if they are, they perceive their leader being taken away violently. they're going to be more likely to respond. and, but i would say right now, we're at the level of a basically guaranteed national divorce. one that is currently ongoing and you're seeing it in all parts of life and education. you're seeing more and more people simply leaving the public school system, leaving the government school system and homeschooling and creating homeschool cooperative where they, where they, where they teach without government propaganda. and so you're already seeing a national divorce going on. now the question is, will. busy of this national divorce turn into violence and that is something that can very likely happen. it would require one side to engage in violence. so for example, if trump is forcibly jail the best can, it could be very easily be a catalyst for violence. so divorce definitely violence,
11:24 pm
certainly very possible. 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 ya coop claims the u. s. is using pakistani aerospace to launch drone attacks on afghanistan, calling it proof that america's unwonted interference continues. here is our teeth, peter scott, and how us drone strikes regularly hits civilians on the ground. in one of its parting gifts after its 20 year long war in afghanistan, u. s. conducted a drone strike on a vehicle in cobble it was meant for an i says k terrace. the valley targets whose
11:25 pm
car was apparently packed 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 a mardi was no terrorist anything, but he was in fights an 8 worker for 15 years at nutrition and 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 ah,
11:26 pm
who are like i don't let him with k to 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. flames were visible from the house. the building was burning. i saw children's bodies torn into pieces. i saw their arms lying around and legs and feet. it was horrible. ah, formula declared the session that night when americans had announced they had targeted, i says we were shocked. it was a completely false proclamation. their claims could pers inferred the day, jerry, ah ah
11:27 pm
ah, 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, his k operative ah, the administration is, of course, reviewing that ah, that strike, ah, and i'm sure that a, you know, full assessable, b 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 brewing. we'll see. you think you'd kind of know before you off somebody with a predator drone whether he's an aide worker or he's in ices k and only went bites into a corner to 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. the strike was taken in the earnest belief that
11:28 pm
it would prevent 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 realised 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 such rights. 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 a again, in the future. amante's former 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?
11:29 pm
what messages sending to family members who lost their loved ones, and my employees who lost a beloved colleague under marty's is not the only life to have been lost without any accountability from the u. s. military, between 242020 in the u. s conduct some more than 13000 drones 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 u. s. and were waiting for a response having dedicated, 15 years of his life working for the u. s. based a group been stead a. marty was killed by the very nation he was seeking safe haven in a tragic end to a tragic 20 years. ah, to russia now were official said that the enormous forest fires that have sports
