hydro electric stations authority say that u. s. applied high mars artillery were used in the strikes and in another shelling by ukraine of a neighboring town, a local school was completely destroyed according to local officials, who have this footage of the damage there. no casualties have been reported and we heard from former us marine corps intelligence officer, who believes that calves offensive was an attempt to show western arm suppliers that it is still in this fight. what we're seeing here are attacks for purely political reasons, so that the ukraine ministry of defense, ukrainian presidency can say, look, we are under the counter offensive, we are filling our promise to, to retake us on and, and showing our potential to retake other territories as well. but we can only do this, and this is the critical part. we can only do this if the west continues to supply us with the critical arms and ammunition and the resources we need to complete this
12:03 am
fight. that's what's going on here. this is about zalinski about the ukrainian military trying to make the case that they are still a potent force, that they're not purely on the defensive. they are capable of, you know, counter attacks, but they need hinuit, military support. and now to don bass for battles continue to rage in the don. yes, republic with russian lead forces, intensifying and offensive to take over major ukrainian strongholds. archie's eager stand off reports from the front lines. ah, drone footage has become a fundamental part of the wall in ukraine. it helps adjust artillery fire. it helps
12:04 am
confirm hits. it strips the enemy of morale on the outskirts of the town of solid r. there's no rest for ukrainian and russian. how it says we are basically in the epicenter of an artillery duel between the russians and the ukrainians. in fact, the positions of both sides are so close that we can only hear has the shows that it like that the russian side. but we can hear the ukrainians firing them. so essentially we can follow the whole root of any shell coming from the ukranian side. from the moment it was fired to the point, just like that to the point when it was over our heads and and as it heads somewhere close in the vicinity of the russian artillery positions . bloody gruesome street fights within the town limits have slowed down, rushes,
12:05 am
advancing, solid r to a trickle ground. troops are relying on artillery support to clear the way, but keep troops realised that too, while on other parts of the front, russia out shells ukraine, roughly $20.00 to $1.00. here the ratio is way more close. you. onion shows, glow of black smoke it on uncomfortable distance offices on the ground q. our escape at the moment a brief flow comes in at the stool. ah mm . i'm a guest, dawn of reporting from the dawn bash t. and now to further worrying news from those upper roget were key of continues to increase fears of a nuclear disaster. a radio active fuel storage building at the plant has been
12:06 am
pierced by ukrainian shelling. that's according to local russian back officials. these pictures released of the aftermath of the shelling, showing damage roof at the facility. russian officials say they have warmed ukraine multiple times to stop shelling the plat, europe's largest, which supplies hundreds of thousands of people with electricity care over the cues . moscow of using the facility to house its military. we spoke to the russian backed mayor of enter goldar, the ukrainian town, which is located close to the nuclear power plant. he says, authorities are ready to provide evidence of cubes shelling of the facility to international observers. ladonna lewis shoot at the moment, radiation levels are normal as the shilling only pierce the roof of the building. so they wanted to carry out a terrorist act that would lead to the spread of radiation around here and further towards europe. this is being done in order to prevent the international atomic energy agency from entering the plant. we have
12:07 am
a lot of evidence to show the international atomic energy agency in particular how the ukranian army has sheldon nuclear facility and the nearby city of n or go to are you be slow. all these attacks are documented and all of this will certainly be presented to the international atomic energy agency mission, which is coming here. this is what ukrainian politicians and their military are afraid, because they are terrorizing not only russia, but also their own citizens who live here. the international atomic energy agency says it will send a delegation to the power plant this week to inspect the situation. the team includes ahead of the global nuclear watchdog, an expert from 13 countries, some of whom may remain at the facility on a permanent basis. however, kev says it was the i 8 to come to a single conclusion that moscow is responsible for the damage to the plant. the day has come, the international atomic energy agency support and assistance mission to zap roacha is now on its way. we must protect the safety and security of ukraine's in europe's biggest nuclear facility, proud to lead this mission,
12:08 am
which will be at the power plant later this week. we expect a clear statement from the international atomic energy agency mission about the violations of all nuclear safety protocols. we know that russia and dangerous not only ukraine, but the whole world, exposing it to the risk of a nuclear catastrophe. this comes as western media blame russia, despite top u. s. officials being unable to give a clear answer on who is to blame for the damage to the plant. first, who is shelling the station. i'm not able, at this point to make any confirmation about the shelling and where it's coming from. the u. s. department of defense has not ruled out that ukraine's forces are firing near the territory according to media reports. that's a big one sided western media coverage of the situation. although russia says it's ready to provide evidence of ukraine's actions. meanwhile, residents of this approach at region are asking the i a, a to stop key of shelling of the plant which is endangering the safety of millions
12:09 am
of lives. we spoke to steve gill, a radio host and political commentator, who says that the west is perfectly aware of who's showing the plan. it's just not in their interest to confirm it from the beginning. the u. s. media has really kind of advocated any journalistic integrity interpret this conflict, which is why you've seen propaganda from both sides get a lot of play and not a lot of journalists on the ground reporting what's actually going on the i. e a should be there immediately. i mean, there should be an all hands on deck death pods, 5 kind of level of getting people in there determining very quickly exactly who's doing it and making them stop. you know, again if, if it's miss targeted russian. shelly and that needs to stop, but i think it makes a lot more sense that the ukrainians are shelling, trying to attack this facility, trying to perhaps drive the russian soldiers out of there so that they can re take the facility. but the i a, the, the international community, the united states, talking about all of these stepping up and making it clear that they know who's
12:10 am
doing it, and they're going to hold them accountable. at least 20 people have reportedly been killed and hundreds injured and unrest in iraq after protesters broke into government offices in baghdad is the poor of a leading opposition. shia cleric who has announced his retirement from politics after he was unable to form a government that sparked an outbreak of violence. the latest it shows protesters taking to the streets despite in nationwide curfew. you can hear long bursts of gunfire as law enforcement battles with processors inside the government. green zone. local resident colleague ali told us that the situation on the ground is much worse despite the government looking to restore. com. joyce is becoming less re enter. baghdad. really goes from
12:11 am
more of the stuff to pull down from most of the areas around the the green zone. white house is about 7 minutes from the green zone and each story, $11.00 day stop shooting inside the green. don't my house and the window is shaking . be prime minister. my target, he get lower, does not do the civilians, but it seems like the army so that the militia and the demonstrators getting guns and they opened fire to again, they opened fire and a number of the countries army has now reportedly taking full control of the government offices by forests warning you may find following images disturbing. many of those who died, such as the man pictured their work killed in clashes with local security forces.
12:12 am
the iraqi army has now reportedly taken full control of government offices after using life bullets and tear gas to disperse the crowds. supporters of claret mcdahl sauder were met by security forces as they entered the ceremonial building. but after the arrival of the iraqi army, the clashes moved on to the streets. the military is now patrolling the capital with a curfew that has been declared throughout the country. the latest and rescue again last month when eat asked the fringe additional council suspended its work after solder supporters camped out near its headquarters to demand it dissolved parliament. his party was unable to form a government despite winning the largest number of seats in federal elections held last october. we heard from political analysts side a levy who says the current unrest in baghdad could lead to civil war. the says austin, on the streets and the green zone with international zone as is known as still
12:13 am
surrounded by security forces and large number of witnesses are still in inside the nation. so also number of armed militia also and 2, which are connected to the, the, the, the satirist and to the area of the situation is moving into more, being more critical. it is very possible in civil war. we can actually see the beginning of an escalation that could very easily lead to civil war to fall out of the war, which will be devastating to the oil industry because the civil war will take place . being mainly in the south of iraq where the oil fields and the oil exports facilities are situated. so we are actually facing real and present danger. and we can see it very critical.
12:14 am
and now to our special coverage on afghanistan, which marks one near since nato's count, it withdrawal ah, the the u. s. constructed basis for afghan troops everywhere in an attempt to save the country from terrorism, but in a very short time fled afghanistan deserted. those who depended on america support our teeth, donald quarter has more people clinging on to a plane for dear life, only to fall to their deaths, a suicide bombing chaos that was kabul. one year ago, as the u. s. withdrew its troops from afghanistan, that was, according to joe biden, a success 20000 people evacuated the safety. that number's more than double what
12:15 am
most expert solar possible. no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all history. the only the united states had the capacity to will believe you to do it and we did it today. if biden's disorderly withdrawal succeeded in doing anything, it was depriving the u. s. puppet government and couple of any chance to defend itself in the run up to the pull out u. s. air support for the afghan military was cut off. american troops, abandoned bagram air base without even warning the afghan commander there. all the while washington knew the country, security forces would only be ready to act on their own. no sooner than 2030. it's no surprise. the afghan military just cut and ran. special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction found that the single most important factor in the afghan national defense and security fosters collapse in august 2021 was the u. s. decision to withdraw military forces and contractors from afghanistan. these events destroyed foster's morale. in a matter of days,
12:16 am
kabul fell to the taliban. once it did, thousands of people were left behind afghan collaborators, even american citizens, to fend for themselves against islamic fundamentalism. the failure of senior biden's administration leadership to plan for this fateful day resulted in a rush to vacuum nation of hundreds of thousands of americans, 3rd country, nationals, and afghans. it left behind hundreds, possibly thousands of american citizens. tens of thousands of afghan partners and a legacy of american betrayal of allies. this failure of leadership cost u. s. military personal lives and has left tens of thousands behind to an uncertain fight on the taliban control. it was a long before outrage ensued across the political spectrum in washington. president biden's was today was hollow. one american left behind is one to many. the fact to express in byron abandoned american sin of janice, done living them at the mercy of the taliban and isis k. the president made the
12:17 am
morally indefensible decision to leave americans behind dishonor was the president's choice. may history never forget this cowardice? elder, he's cleared in need how he could not continue to put american service members in danger for an unreasonable war. i also believe that the vacation process appears to have been egregiously mishandled. i think it has been an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. this is going to be a stain on this president in this presidency. i think he is going to have blood on his hands for what they did. 20 years of military occupation over $2.00 trillion taxpayer dollars down the drain. hundreds of thousands of people killed at the end of it all. us back president ashcroft gone, he fled the country and was accused by afghan officials of taking millions of dollars with him. the same man that washington itself described as paranoid and undermining for moral a year later, the us still refuses to come to terms. let's failure viewers of it is really tv
12:18 am
channel. we're surprised when a jewish rabbi invited to talk on the situation and ukraine blasted kiev highlighting its fascist identity. michael finkle slammed president zalinski for establishing a neo nazi regime while championing those responsible for the deaths of thousands of jews. it's $36.00 times on the zalinski, the ukraine was the only one to vote against israel at the u. n. re bus and he cranes heroes. it's just a pet cura, who kill 200000 jews. bosa shift greevich assess mom she read plus at the band era and yellow slab stetsco who said the old jews must be exterminated and bitter. and it's kaminsky who kills $300000.00 jews at me every year. and if there was a pride of the s s a division, and our foreign ministry protested against this law, these ukrainians of scum. this is essentially a neo nazi regime when interrupted by the interviewer and asked to speak quote more
12:19 am
correctly. the rabbi continued his tirade against the frame. he also warned against quarrels with russia, but stressed that he is not in support of military action and highlighted that ukraine had voted against israel $36.00 times at the united nations. we spoke with daniel, was our a journalist who thinks that washington pressures israel to follow western anti russian writer. there's immense pressure to tow the party line, the party line being that emanating out of washington, which is that we must not talk ill of the ukrainian because you're locked in the war with the whole russian empire. that's what goes on all the time. i mean, you're not supposed to speak out of turn. jews who are studied history are aware of what went on in the ukraine during the civil war of 1918 to 21. and then under the nazis from 941 to 45 and jews were massacred by
12:20 am
that tens of thousands, a simon pet laura, and the early twenties and, and ban dera in the 1940s. the f. b, i has owned up to providing private american companies with advice on so called foreign threats. that's after mark zuckerberg came clean about censoring the hunter bite and laptop scanned on facebook. after a warning from u. s. federal agents about a legit rushing propaganda. the f b, i has provided companies with foreign threat indicators to help them protect their platforms and customers from abuse by foreign malign influence actors the f. b. i will continue to work closely with federal, state, local, and private sector partners to keep the public informed of potential threats. but the f b i cannot ask or direct companies to take action on information received. we have the f, b, i admitting that they flagged companies about possible disinformation and lead up to the 2020 election. and facebook took this advice from the f,
12:21 am
b i and started calming through various story, then determining to suppress certain stories. and that, that led them to the conclusion that they were going to suppress the hunter by laptop story. this is what mark dr. berg said on the joe rogan podcast. the distribution on facebook was decreased. basically, the ranking news feed was a little bit less, so fewer people saw it than would have otherwise. so it definitely by what percentage? i don't know off the top my head, but it's, it's, it's meaningful. now since then we've had met the parent company of facebook come forward and clarify that while they did not, they were not specifically told to suppress the laptop story. they were simply warned about this information, and that seems to have tempered some of the public outrage. but at this point, there are a lot of questions on people's minds. first people wonder does the f b, i have the right to go to private companies and advise them on what stories should
12:22 am
be moved to be removed to their asking? does the f b i statement suggests that it actually regularly does this is this the only time they've been advising facebook and other social media companies about suppressing stories? and the 3rd question is, was this done by the f b i with partisan and intentional purposes? were they trying to help the democratic party? that's a pretty important question. people are asking, get the f b. i metal in the elections with the hope of all thing the democratic party. now senator ron johnson says that he is not alone in raising serious questions about this case. and his revelation, we've seen poles to show that heavy american public known the corruption, the biting, trailing of, and 100 by joe biden, will not be present for the f. b i's pollutants ization. there parson ship and there's suppression of the 100 by the laptop because the definition of police think behavior a government agency independently decides it's going to determine the outcome of a supposedly democratic election. does that look like legitimate use of law
12:23 am
enforcement authority? do you, the government openly, coordinating with free speech? suppose it platforms like facebook and like twitter in order to quash particular stories on behalf of one political party. you have f, b i, agents using their position to collude and conspire to change the outcome of an election. now the poll numbers seem to indicate that this had a big impact on the election. one poll shows that 80 percent of americans believe that trump would have been reelected if there had actually been notable coverage of the 100 biden laptop stories. it also doesn't help that we now have the i whistleblowers who are coming forward and saying that they were told that, you know, and members of the us senate were recently told not to dig in to the 100 by laptop story. that's pretty big information. when you look at the details with the whistle, blowers, et cetera, it's starting to look like what summer calling election interference. these new allegations proved even more evidence of f b i corruption. after the f b,
12:24 am
i obtained the hunter bite and laptop these whistleblowers stated that the local f b i leadership told employees, you will not look at that hunter bite and laptop and that the f b i is not going to change the outcome of the election again, the f b, i cannot be trusted with the handling of hunter biden's laptop. now members of the u. s. senate at this point are saying that they would like the opportunity to grill the f b i about what actually happened in a congressional hearing. and facebook is now back tracking of from what was originally said. so at this point, people looking on the questions are getting bigger, but it appears that all is not fair and love and politics. the indian rupees dropped to an all time low against the u. s. dollar on monday, prompting the country central bank to step in and sell part of its dollar reserves in a bid to boost the national currency. the currency reached a historical low at just over 80 rupees to the dollar. analysts say the drop is linked to the u. s. federal reserve maintaining high interest rates longer than
12:25 am
expected. the federal terran system measures are necessary to tackle rising inflation in the us, but the move has already resulted in other global currencies falling in value. new delhi based economists akash kumar. gin dol says india is facing a severe economic challenge which has already resulted in an outflow of capital from the country. what happened is u. s. d here, what the high inflation, the inflation did or 9 point one percent. so what they did was they can get on increasing in busters and be expect them to increase that. now there was a lot of global capital invested in india. so what happened was, once they engage in trusting, it was natural for capital fly back to us. so group like what didn't mean to dollars, i mean, you know, what does that mean? does that mean simply that people become because they will become dollar. busy us
12:26 am
plus now go to is higher because of the current situation in the way. so i didn't get one of us. you can turn the industrial, they keep on getting that had some flight up there going all over india, back to us because the jeep wrangler gave us a message in the bond. we are getting these entered on to this and we're going to decide doing us hundreds of people i've taken to the streets of hades capital for the 2nd time in a month demanding the prime minister's resignation. as both the cost of living and violent incidents are on the rise. this recent footed shows protesters burning tires in an attempt to block streets as police fire tear gas to the 1st crowds. last week, thousands of people marched in several cities to call for the prime minister to
12:27 am
resign. the protest come as inflation reaches almost 30 percent and prices of some basic goods. quadruple gasoline also remains in low supply in the crime rate has served in the capital in nearby areas with hundreds of dead dead in gain war zombie, its government has welcomed russia's orthodox church to the country. the 2nd time their mission has expanded on the continent in 2022 after it opened at stores in the central african republic this summer. when morgan lew do many people do not like the presence of the russian orthodox church on the african continent. for decades. the great church of alexandria and addition to the christian doctrine carried the light of helena's hm. we would draw a parallel calling it neo colonialism of some sort because the attitude towards the local population left much to be desired to put it mildly. people kicked out of the
12:28 am
homes for julian, russian, orthodox church. kids are kicked out of schools. access is even restricted to clean drinking water. but when using you my m 6 bonds, if we are not engaged in expansion, we do not prohibit worship in the native language. the church supports the laws, traditions at different nations, have we do not separate any one in christ? as we know from the holy scriptures, there is neither helena nor jew in the church. we don't care what color person's skin is. the national component, the preservation of its este, it's in a core, and historical bonds is very important. this is beauty. this is what improves the church itself. the church is not a sphere, the state or into shield of the state of the spiritual, traditional and moral the russian orthodox church is a conservative and traditional guardian of the foundations of russian statehood. as you know, our churches separated from the state and carries out both domestic and foreign policy with almost all members of the r o. c, a citizens of the russian federation. the church, like to state, is
12:29 am
a living organism. and if somewhere we go in parallel with each other, this is normal. ah, africa that you need the, the population of africa is 1300000000 people, 54 countries, many of whom want to come to the r o c and develop them, raise that children to get an education. and we will cultivate this desire. i believe that those people who work in the african exit kate, of people who are at the origins of a new phenomenon in the russian orthodox church. because from the moment that the christening of russia in 988, there was no such events as the organisation of an ex, a cape. we have prospects, the construction of spiritual and educational centers, systems of preschool in school education. in addition, we aim to construct hospitals and paramedic stations in remote areas. and those were the most pressing new stories from around the globe for more up to the minute . news had over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on twitter gab odyssey and rumble for more content. thanks for joining. see you again at the top of the hour.
