all sense, very dramatic developments, only really and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with the world pays tribute to the late soviet leader and mikhail gorbachev for ending the cold war. it overlooks a number of key consequences from his policies, such as the eastward expansion of nato, and some alleged conflict that you created. also coming up in the program, the russian defense ministry phase key of course is have struck a radioactive waste processing, building up a zappa rogia nuclear power plant. that's as a team from the you ends, nuclear watchdog on its way there and made rising concerns over what conclusions 8th we'll draw getting away from dependence and from the west is now the number one

task for our energy cooperation with iran. it is developing progressively, along with nuclear energy and nuclear power. russia is foreign minister at texas. swipe out the west while holding talks with is a really and counterpart in lots of oh wow. despite european claims that african countries risks starving to death without access to ukrainian grain, ever since a shipping deal was broken. only one boat as arrived on the continent with the majority pending elsewhere. a kind of thing from moscow to the world. this is our take, great to have your company today. my name's you know, the last leader of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev has been 91 year old, passed away in moscow central hospital after a prolonged illness. let's take

a look through his legacy now in our special coverage here on art the who's, who's mikhail gorbachev over whole the soviet union's foreign policy by introducing the new political thinking doctrine, which thought relations with the west and brought about the end of the course, the cold war, gorbachev called for the world to be seen as united and interdependent. instead of divided into communists and capital countries, he saw the balance of interest of different nations as a way of solving international problems. universal values had to be recognised above all others, whether they be religious or national. the soviet leader also wanted to see the world free from all nuclear weapons by the start of the 21st century. russian

officials have been expressing their condolences with the kremlin spokesperson dmitri pest golf also highlights in corporate shelves. quote, romanticized view of the world order. precisely, sarah delight, mikhail gorbachev is a statesman who will forever remain in the history of our country. many argue about the role he played, but the fact that he was an extraordinary person, a unique person, is unequivocal. he is known, remembered and will be remembered all over the world. gorbachev gave impetus to the end of the world war, and he sincerely wanted to believe that that would end and there would be an internal romantic period between the new soviet union and the collective west. this romanticism was not justified. the romantic honeymoon century did not walk out the bloodthirsty notes of our opponents showed itself and when they were in a death which while following mikhail gorbachev whirled, altering decisions, the nato military block expounded to the east and conflicts were seen in post

soviet countries. another consequence, some alleged from his overseeing of the collapse of the soviet union, is the ongoing crisis in ukraine. after the fall of the ussr, the post soviet space erupt, it with so called color revolutions. the 1st state to face such an uprising was georgia. back in 2003, the rows revolution took place in the country, triggered after it was claimed, parliamentary elections were rigged. daily protests broke out in the states with people demanding the resignation of the van presidents. protesters eventually storm the government building, force the president to flee and proclaimed revolution. a few days later, opposition leaders came to power. a few years later, the tulip revolution was witnessed in the central asian country of kurdistan. after a parliamentary elections in 2005, the opposition started mass protest calling for the results to be a note on the vote be held again. thousands stormed the camp. adults government

building with the opposition season control. it ended with the formation of a new government and the resignation of b as events and those and other consequences of the fall of the ussr, along with a nuanced discussion of them, has largely been ignored by the western mainstream media which has been remembering mikhail gorbachev. and it's headlines today, a somewhat different reaction in the chinese at media obituaries there criticize the loss of a president for numerous mistakes the at beijing global times. for example, said he catered to the u. s. on the west with principal and ruin the domestic economy. it also accused mister gorbachev of being naive an image for a fessor of history at university college cor. geoffrey roberts believes gorbachev

can't be blamed for nato's eastwards expansion, which was certainly done to the west. not to expansion was the responsibility of the west, north of options, go show successes as as lead oh rush actually with president to she did everything the code to actually go shows vision. all the hallmarks post called coldwell world into reality. what is the great roster and here i think what they could to create a new european inclusive security system that i found it didn't fall because of that legacy. that little bit less i felt because of western intransigent. one indisputable fact is that mikhail gorbachev through led to the end of the soviet union. the rti documentary team has been recalling one of the most important historical events of the entire 20th century. and the doc runs throughout the day.

ah, you never dreamed that the use of hardwood collapse when you said that i was move about to leave the work for the union with help for the end of soviet power for everything to turn out one ever to receive due to the current situation. yup, i'm gonna show you where you did miss. i'm resigning as president of the usa rather bowler, which is rolled up with yet. yoga wish to follow us on wednesday. yeah. like i said, family for the autonomy and independence of the peoples and sovereignty of the republics, while preserving the ussr is a state and the country's territorial integrity.

ah, events have taken a different path. ah ah ah i let's move on the program now to the latest developments in ukraine conflict, the russian defense ministry. saskia forces bond a radioactive waste processing, building these up a rogia nuclear power plant on tuesday, the m o. d states that one shell hit the welding,

but radiation levels have at remain normal. there i'll be numerous. recent attacks out the nuclear plant on the nearby city of an inert guitar. a drone was reportedly shot down as well in the regional wednesday at by the russian military. you can see basically what's left over here. the remains appear to have come down close to the power plant. another drone attack at the city administration in enter the building system, considerable damage. local officials though say no one was hurt in the incident. what all those attacks come as the international atomic energy agency theme is on its way. there are from key f. know they are expected to reach the power station to day. at some stage. moscow say that hope's the mission will help stop ukraine's could nuclear blackmail wherever ukraine officials want the international nuclear watched. to put all the blame for that situation on russia when i should enter. so

the blended on and we hope that the visit of the international atomic energy agency is mission to this approach. a nuclear plant will help stop here, provoking a catastrophe and stop its nuclear blackmail as well. they will more. it is urgent to demilitarize, the plant withdrawal russian military clear up plan to organize a demilitarized zone, both inside and around the nuclear power plant and transfer the entire plant under the control of the ukrainian state. we expect a clear statement from the international atomic energy agency mission about the violations of all nuclear safety protocols. we know that russia endangers not only ukraine, but the whole world, exposing it to the risk of a nuclear catastrophe. the visit comes after another international watchdog. amnesty international came under fire for its criticism of ukraine earlier this month and published the reports, choosing the ukrainian military of violating humanitarian law. they claim the military was putting a civilian lives at risk by placing its military assets close to civilian

infrastructure on purpose. the report spark fury and key of which led to amnesty issuing an apology. no independent experts are set to review. the findings of that report. when former senior security policy analyst in the office of the u. s. defense department micro maloof told me the investigation must be in portion because the alternative would be catastrophic. it's. it's very west and dominated, as you can imagine. so it's going to be, it's going to take a western more western perspective on things and, and that seems to be the crux of this entire crisis in the 1st place of these versus west that i. but i'm hoping that they give them more impartial analysis of the safety upkeep of the facility. because the, the alternative would be very, very, very serious for all of europe and perhaps the world because of the radiation

leaks. and it's really imperative that the inspectors ensure that they're, that leaks are minimized and that there is no way that and, and, and to encourage ukrainians, especially this to quit firing on. it just makes a logical sense. i mean, i have poxy of, of the ukrainian statement is just numbing it's, it's amazing. and i think that this is just something that they stop showing it naturally. it's going to lessen radiation concerns. while the iranian foreign minister has lashed out the international atomic energy agency during a media conference in moscow, he accused of bias over attempts to restart the nuclear deal struck between to run washington and other key global powers back in 2015 barrel. huge. when i ran needs all parties from the g p o a to been all their unsubstantiated political views,

we need more guarantees from the u. s. the bandits political stance on the issue and instead commit more to his professional requirement. this is also part of the guaranteed issue. if the u. s. side can lift sanctions and they're realistic about our concerns. and if we can agree on this, the deal will be struck. just a reminder bank in 2018 than us president dulls from quit the nuclear deal and imposed har sanctions, which indeed are still in effect and response around ramped up its nuclear program to its most advanced age. ever but stressed out, it's not seeking a nuclear weapon rather doing it for energy purposes. during today's press conference in russian foreign minister demanded sanctions against iran be removed and underline the importance of moving away from any dependence on the wes, senior circle, mental illegal anti iranian sanctions must be lift it. we support the position of iran and the nuclear deal, and hope the talks will conclude soon is necessary to draw conclusions from what's

happening in the world. and any countries interested in the independent development should not be hostage to sanctions. globalization has shown that the u. s. navy satellites, using the de alotted manipulate, well trade organizations, which do not suit the u. s. whole countries that are interested in their independence must take steps regardless of the dictates of the collective west. we're actively engaged in this with all of our reliable partners, including the islamic republic of iran, getting away from dependence and from the west is now the number one task and for our energy cooperation with iran. it is developing progressively along with nuclear energy and nuclear power plants can know their story to bring you to day key. abs aren't going ambassador to germany should be permanently bomb from the country. so say a conservative german lawmaker who believes angry melnick crossed the line when he, uninvited the minister, president of saxony to ukraine. not came after the latter cold for the ukrainian conflict to become a frozen we'll put in currently does not want to negotiate. that's correct. and

that means that this conflict can only be one on the battlefield. no, that's not correct. we must try to assure that a frozen conflict can be created out of this hot war. a situation we have in many other parts of the world said that the possibility of negotiations in the coming years or even decades can be enabled. i invited you to ukraine. this invitation has been cancelled. you are not wanted period with your absurd rhetoric about the freezing of the russian war. you were playing into putin's hands and fueling russian aggression. well, it is not the 1st time mister melick has made statements critical of his host country and its officials and targets of included chancellor shoaf who he called an offended liver sausage due to his delay and visiting here that prompted the ukrainian president longer zalinski to take action, relieving melick from his post though he's protected at to remain in the position until mid october. meanwhile, pope francis has managed to ensure

a key of raf, him self softer. he said, rushing, journalist dory, a duke and i was innocent. the 29 year old journalist was killed in a car bombing earlier this month, which russia essays was carried out by ukrainian special services, ukraine's wasik in boston or a said the pope's words were disappointing. let's draw a live, know to political commented or anthony webber for his take anthony. all this good to see you here is key. this setting the tone, perhaps even the agenda for western politics right now. deciding what needs to be said in, in what way is that for? well, i think it's very sure you've been doing it right from the beginning of the call. whenever those being a sign that the, the west or where are you from?

suddenly there's been some sort of a legit across the atrocity by the russians or something which i can show or return to sherry that the russians are a terror, terrible people. and they basically are a policy of demonizing, russia, right from the beginning and dryer, targeting, anyone who says anything which could might be favorable to so russia. so i, me, thing that this policy, the states are public relations. so propaganda, policy has been held by certain western countries happens in all of these western countries. and of course, unfortunately, most of these countries for governance are controlling the major agenda. so it's not just the primary source of free media. it's,

it's on the western countries as well. basically, you're not even allowed to even say your country should be neutral. let alone discuss the whole wider is cation is of the complex. so it's a very sort of side situation. what was the general politicians, the secretary said, are you trying to is defending freedoms that sound? well, where are they? don't even are free media and you trying to install, right? any opposition? so i think it's certainly the right thing to be open and debates. bots, a c premium policy supported my number 9 countries to spend any dissent shouldn't be phone c or

a double in the try a petition. elementary petition say the case would be the actual letter, not from place. it's been completely new platform by all the old mainstream media. so that's how they sort of control things. i just don't allow things to be debated and it's side sites for free. so, so say, why do you think the comments by pope frances, who's always call died, what he sees, a violence no matter where it comes from on. daria, do going to who of course was killed and not at car bomb association. a 29 year old journalist. ready why did that spark such outrage in in ukraine the fact that such a high profile figure is seeing it not being vetoed by,

by somebody else thought he spoke his mind calling essentially for de escalation accounting of the situation and that somebody was killed. but he said, well condolences to that person on her family. yes, it is. stand last term, teresa. not she criticized for believing in peace. i'm saying it's wrong for a germ, i say sure happens have are in our independent dean's so in case long for the parents to have sympathy not who are not come, but friends and it appears even though the cry denied any involvement. in this case, it's not satisfactory to to the to say she's an innocent victim. oh, part of the sort of propaganda they wouldn't tolerate or the sympathy for anyone

who supports the, the russian corps and you probably even. but do you think that that's such an aggressive reaction and rhetoric from ukraine, anthony could actually play against kiev, threatened to lose public support. you know, if you're a citizen at home reading this thinking, well yeah, i've got my own view, but you're not allowing me to express it because you're going to clumped on, you're going to frighten me. not just say you're wrong, but actively go after that person who has an opposing view. yes, i'm pretty sure he could re bound to be the problem is the worry. these things are presented to, in a lot of the rest of media that presented in such a way that it was difficult for people to get upset about them. but it's interesting when you take,

i'm going to step by step on this as it should. he credit recently hidden promise, even more money. i created the not say for all because people about the, sorry he was prioritize, say me, his ukrainian proxy or over the needs of the public. so i think they all are people who control the government or perhaps taking things too far and the thing is they got away with it so. so now continue, today's about the reason we got the right it says, night and dependence and also a lot of western countries. otherwise they would be called sort of towns a long time ago. all right, political commentator anthony webber life from leicester today and say all is good to hear your thoughts on thanks for your time. thank you. not a vessel carrying grain from ukraine, bone for yemen,

departed on tuesday. the un food agency has said the moves, according to western media, will help ease one of the world's worst few monitoring crisis. but as our team dollar quarter attempts to answer next, why have only 2 grain ships so far being sent to those in real need? brave commander, the un chartered ship carrying ukrainian weight to east africa. it's finally arrived in djibouti. and since august 14th, the western mainstream media has been hyping it up to no end. the united nations charter ship brave commander will depart ukraine for africa in coming days after it finishes loading more than $23000.00 metric tons of wheat in the ukrainian port of pivot. any, a un official set the vessel, the 1st specially chartered by the u. n. s, world food program to unblocked food shipments stuck after rushes. invasion of ukraine will head toward your beauty, from where the grain will be transported to ethiopia, the restarting of food aid from ukraine. could mark

a major turning point in the fight against worsening global hunger. we heard about it again on the 16th of august, and then again on the 18th of august and 2 days after that, the un secretary general praised its mission as well. so moving to see and he stumbled, a w, f. p. ship brave commander, loaded with tons of ukrainian wheat, destined for much needed hunger relief in the horn of africa. i salute all those involved in this amazing humanitarian operation. at long last, the ship made landfall on august 30th. it was as if hunger on the continent was about to come to a definitive end. it took 2 weeks to travel here from southern ukraine. this read is meant to feed 1500000 people in ethiopia for a month, but it is not enough for a country facing several humanitarian challenges. food security experts call it a drop in the bucket for the vast needs in the worst hid horn countries of so malia kenya and the nation where this 1st shipment is going, but wait a minute. why did all of east africa only get one ship if they're so desperate for

food? un records show that ukrainian grain went to other places as well? ireland, greece, italy, countries that are not exactly hunger stricken well. ukrainian officials are wiping their hands clean of that since after all, the free market decides the destination for the cargo has been negotiated between the supplier and the buyers, and they are totally commercial activities. we don't decide where it goes. it is a free market. however, not everyone's buying that alibi. 34 ships with grain went off odessa. only one went to africa. the other to europe and usa, ukraine is rescuing nobody from hunger. only one out of 34 ships exporting grain from ukraine went to africa. so much for the western fake, concerned about hunger in poor countries. all that media attention for a single ship and the plight of starvation in africa. was it all really because the west is so concerned about starving africans, or was that

a big p r study to boost key abs popularity around the world? when the 1st place you blame this on russia? and as actually, sir, was the food graces has been around for a long, long time. this is cynical, and this is tara, oh, the geopolitical oh, propaganda comes from united states and european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies and by the ministration and new new africa strategy, which i just wrote about. and secretaries jenkins trip to africa a last week and is still with hypocrisy. and for you as president joe biden has warned, any citizens wanting to take on america will need more than a gun for those brave right wing america does say it's all about shaping america, keeping americas independent safe. if you are fight against the country,

neither f 15, you need something a little more than a gun. you know, a lot of backlash over that. the controversial remarks come as the current criminal investigation into former president own from pas visibly raised tensions in the country. the new york times added fuel to the fire by claiming a successful prosecution of mr. trump would be a necessary 1st step towards fixing americas problems our teeth. caleb martin, takes out the story when you have more than 40 percent of the u. s. public saying that they believe a civil war is coming within the next decade. that's a pretty big deal. now when people explain this, they don't really explain where these beliefs are coming from. a major factor might be that the democrat run whitehouse is labeling the g o p and branding millions of their followers as fascists. i was very clear when lane out and defining what

make america great again, republicans have done. and you look at the definition of fascism and you think about what they are doing in attack in our democracy. that is well that is, it is very clear over the history book, the word fascism brings back memories of world war 2. it's quite an extreme label, but the democrats are not shying away from it. joe biden and his allies seem hel band on pinning this on. republicans. what we're seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme maga. philosophy is not just trump is the entire philosopher that underpins the i'm going to say something. it's like semi fascism. i think the american people are waking up to reality that things have changed so drastically. mark my words, if republicans will win the midterms, they will move to wiping out choice across the board. but it gets worse now people with right wing views are being told they're not welcome. in liberal states,

the governor of new york just told the states 5400000 local republicans to get lost . and we're here to say that the arrow of trump and zeldin manero just jump on a bus and head down to florida where you belong. okay, get out of town, get out of town and you don't really, you don't represent our values. you are not new yorkers. and in addition to being described as fascists, republicans are now being labeled as terrorists, time. and again, we see them say one thing and do another they are, they are not concerned with life. they're just concerned. we're trying to score cheap political points. they're concerned with trying to clinical own lives and they don't really care what wreckage is left in their wake. they are a destructive force in american politics. they are basically a domestic terrorist cell operating within america. their goal is to end democracy . now the responsibility of any leader in such a situation would be to re unify the country and turn down the heat. abraham

lincoln famously quoted the biblical passage sang. a house divided against itself cannot stand, but that is not the approach of the white house. it looks like the heat is going to keep ratcheting up along with inflation until the november mid terms. at least they'll marvin artsy, new york. all right, an interesting in sight next into the towering figures during the 2nd world war style. and roosevelt and churchill actually thought about one another our documentary world war 2 leaders starting with ah mm.
