a, with our top headlines live on off international. the international atomic energy agency team arrives in a city to examine europe's largest nuclear power plant i made reported shelling by p f. and the mission aimed to prevent that of a possible comic disaster. while european powers speak about african nations facing starvation, only 2 cargo ships carrying ukraine's we'd have actually gone there as the other ships are all heading for the world's richest nations. the u. s. approved and other $4000000000.00 worth of aid to ukraine and taiwan. it stops, it is free at home cova testing program due to a lack of funding in the wall,

and it's running low on a weapons to deliver to ukraine with stockpiles running on fumes that size u. s. supplies may also be running low, though that is firmly rejected by the pentico with good to have you with us with this alice program live from moscow. this is alta international. we do starting out with the very latest developments from the ukraine conflict. a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency has arrived in zap would always be city located just adjacent to the nuclear power plant. the agency wants to create a permanent mission at the side and of course assess the state of the facility after repeated shelling attacks my mission. typically, a mission that seeks to prevent a nuclear accident and to preserve at this important,

just the biggest step i was in, you repeat the whole of europe not only in ukraine. so this is what we are concentrating the agencies mission and come as a bit numerous reported ukrainian attacks on the nearby city of antarctica daughter as well as a nuclear facility itself. the one drone of talk to city administration, building in and out of local official said no one was heard while another drone was shot down off the firing or the nuclear plot waste facilities. this is according to the russian military. now the visit comes after another global watchdog amnesty international came under fire, its criticism of kiev. earlier this month, it published a report accusing the ukraine military of violating humanitarian law. i'm going to be claimed it was deliberately putting civilian lives at risk by placing its military assets next to civilian infrastructure. the report on human shields

sparked fury in kiev, which actually led to amnesty issuing an apology. when we spoke with former pentagon analysts, michael maloof, he told us earlier that the investigation has to be impartial 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. is these vs west that i but i'm hoping that they give them more impartial analysis of the safety upkeep of, 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. it just makes a logical sense. i'm in the pocket of the ukranian statement. it's 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 are now to the east of ukraine to don bass, where according to local authorities, one civilian was killed and 4 injured. after artillery hit a 5 story residential building in the dawn heads group, public. ukrainian charles directly had one of the apartments that's according to russian officials. meanwhile, on the eve of a new academic year, the russian side is implementing a set of measures to protect schools in the area. and now i see corresponding romance cluster of has the latest from the scene for the most recent attack and

onions. this is the result of a direct hit by ukrainian artillery against this 5 story apartment building. i'm standing it. what used to be the kitchen, that's the bathroom, as the living room over there at the apartment now. it's completely destroyed. fortunately, the owner of this apartment was at work. when this strike took place, his life was saved. however, at least one person was killed. and 4 were wounded as the result of this ukrainian nationalists artillery attack north hudson shall hm. yeah, i'm like, i wasn't here. i came home from work i looked at my apartment. and so basically that's it. i don't have an apartment anymore. if i were at home, i would have been killed. the attacks are happening every day, wasn't the driver who was killed right here on this spot? who has a 62 years old?

his name was a vladimir. he was here. delivering furniture and his life was abruptly ended by a ukrainian shell. this is a spot where he took his final breath and these are the kinds of shell fragments which was wo, has you. my wife was near the shop when she was injured by an explosion. i was till around 3 fragments hid her. julie, people here were rescued, but the driver could no longer be saved as of this is our everyday life. now, the worst thing here, a silence. you start to tense up. this is the bomb shelter hall. the local administration, employees have been forced to hide here on a daily basis. i mean, they need to be here all the time in order to continue serving the citizens. alt latoya sca my they have to be working from here in order to not

endanger their lives. there may be able to put us horrible. regular strikes occur every day, almost constantly. we sit here, we also work here. it is unrealistic to go out right now was talking according to the locals. ukrainians, who are shilling this territory for 3 days straight. it's still not clear what their target was, but what we didn't know for sure is that there is a school right there. there is a football pitch for it. kids come out to play right now. it's quiet here in north royd sca but the residents are ready to hide in bomb shelters at any time because artillery strikes by ukraine can begin at any given moment. room on call for have r t done as people's republic. let meantime, western officials are pleased with attempts to baffle salvation in the horn of africa, as well as in war torn yemen,

as one ship carrying wheat from ukraine. dr. djibouti on tuesday, while the other added to yemen, ukraine's grain is getting out and it's getting to the world sangree. i think the hopeful thing about what is just happened with the docking of the ship and the food destined for, for a therapy in somalia. is it, it gives us somehow to step in the right direction. however, our t is donell quarter gives us more now and why only 2 ships of bound for countries in real need and the rest assailing to which nations brave commander, the un chartered ship carrying ukrainian weights 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 chartered 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 p. n. e. a. u and official said the vessel,

the 1st specially chartered by the u. n. s. world food program to unblock food shipments, stuck after rushes. invasion of ukraine will head towards a booty 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 in a stumbled a w, f. p. ship brave command de, loaded with tons of ukrainian wheat, destined for much needed hunger relief. in the horn of africa, i saluted all those involved in this amazing humanitarian operation. at long last, the ship made landfall on august 30th and 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. the suite is meant to feed $1500000.00 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 hit horn countries of somalia, kenya and ethiopia, the nation where this 1st shipment is going, oh 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 while 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 spying that alibi. 34 ships with grain went off odessa. only one went to africa, the other to europe and usa, ukraine as 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 it a big p r study to boost key abs popularity around the world? were the 1st place, the blame this on russia? and it is absolutely absurd, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. this is cynical, and this is taryn o, the geopolitical propaganda, coming from united states in european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies of the by the ministration and new new africa strategy, which i just wrote about. the secretary state lincoln's trip to africa last week and is still with hypocrisy. and for the e. u has been gripped by surging inflation. the right now surpassing 9 percent his

beating last month's record lolly logic driven by that of the energy crisis. and faced with a sky rotting right, skyrocketing costs are european businesses have been struggling to find solutions. give you an example. one italian ceramics company is office employees to sacrifice sleep and walk earlier with the firm's boss is saying that would help reduce electricity costs for lighting the facility at night. the workers of also be noted to use less air conditioning, or we heard from the firm stuff, but how it's going he goes to the madonna, the costs of methane has taken the substantial toll in us. its increased 1000 per cent, for company like ours is difficult to bear. we're trying to hold on to our savings . but again, what we're trying to spend less on lighting and energy. our situation has changed in the morning. we make breakfast here. we want to keep our jobs that i've been

forced to rely on my parents every night because otherwise i would have to wake up my children at 5 in the morning to leave them with their grandparents. it's unfeasible. meanwhile, the french by minister has warded citizens. they may be facing rolling blackouts in their homes this winter. that's as the energy crisis grows amid anti russia sanctions. putting one did it. we're producing less electricity. and there may be moments if it's very cold, where we can have a problem to supply electricity losses. in such case, we'd cut off by a rotation neighborhood by neighborhood for no more than 2 hours one, the stipend comes amid gas problems. notice it'll stop providing a leading french utility company with any more natural gas. the cutoff comes off to that company, fail to pay for supplies, transferred in july, as gas from says the flow won't be resumed until the company pays its bill. in full . of that prompted paris to claim that moscow was using energy as

a weapon. that you, you fears further, energy shortages gasper on this week. halting gas applies to germany via the north stream one pipeline, due to a scheduled 3 day maintenance. and we discussed all this with economist and political commentator like a hammer. course. this justifies because if the european says, tell them we don't pay you, we would pay euro's, but those euro's we freeze right away. so basically not paying. so who is, who would supply anything? when he told you, you won't get paid? i mean, that's totally normal and guess. and then europe is not the, the old, the only client forgets from they can sell the gas wherever they wanted the world. and india and china, they demand the guess they want to go. they pay for the guess. so totally normal that you don't supply anything anymore. the people don't, don't, don't pay the u. s. is stuffing,

it's free. cobit 19 at home testing program. it's citing a lack of funding all of this wealth. norma's funds keep flowing to ukraine in taiwan in the form of an additional $4000000000.00 of military aid. his all correspondent caleb martin, while the united states seems to have plenty of money to throw around, there's just been congressional approval for bite and sending $3300000000.00 to ukraine military aid. there's also been an armed sale to taiwan for $1100000000.00 . it's also been approved, so there's plenty of money being thrown around, but not for everything. ordering through this program will be suspended on friday, september 2nd, because congress hasn't provided additional funding to replenish the nation stockpile of tests. now, there won't be any more at home cobit tests that will be available to people. this

program has been going on since january the u. s. department of health has provided over 600000000 people with at home 3 koby cab. now, at this point, this program has been shut down due to lack of funding their stockpiling tests for what is being predicted as an autumn winter serge in cold. now, many americans are reacting to this in somewhat of a negative way. wondering why are their concerns not being put 1st? they should just say the coven tests are weapons for ukraine, and there will be plenty of funding. they should call it tests for ukraine, because then the funding would be unlimited. midst record inflation, washington has spent some $50000000000.00 on weapons for ukraine since february alone, while seizing all coven 19 relief funding and targeting social welfare benefits for millions of americans. now this isn't so totally surprise the other people are many were familiar with the patterns of us spending of observed these kind of actions.

for example, you look at the congressional discretionary spending from the year of 2021, half of the $1.00 trillion dollars went to military affairs. whereas less than 9 percent went to public health. $122.00 has been a rather tough year for average american, there have been rising gas prices rising energy costs rising cost of food. we now have the federal reserve saying that americans should expect some pain in the future. others talk of at this point, job cod i had, but the d. c. elite seems more concerned about an international agenda of hostility toward russia and china. then about the concern spacing, average american, that seems pretty clear so that you use weapons stockpile for ukraine. it's running low, the situation was acknowledged both by individual member states like germany and on a broader level by the blocks foreign policy chief abolition. i'll tell you mostly, most of it will be in it and just re,

for defense. how can we pull the members stage? buying void women because we are depleting our stocks. we up revising, shows many capacities for you getting that we have to really feel, i wish i'd serve a title. as germany's defense minister, i have to be honest, in the case of deliveries from boone as their stocks, we have now reached the limit that meanwhile, the u. s. could also be facing a lack of munitions. as we understand us, stockpiles have reached a quote, uncomfortably low level, that's according to the wall street journal, citing their source in the military. the pentagon, however, rejects the claim all weapons stalks for the u. s. lo and in what instances is it happening? the short answer to your question is no, we take our readiness into account before we make a decision. and so i can assure you that a number of those questions are number one. do we have the ability to execute operations ourselves if it were ever to come to that? and number 2, do we have the requisite equipment and munitions available to continue to train

ourselves at a high state of readiness? and in both those cases, we're able to provide what we have provided and still maintain. our readiness is a military force. a full, marcia analyst, a larry johnson says the economic crisis in europe will likely make e, you citizens oppose the continued billions and weapons deliveries to ukraine. the economic reality of higher fuel prices liquid natural gas in particular is driving businesses in the united kingdom in germany and france, they are going bankrupt for the reinforce to close. and so i think there is going to be a growing domestic political opposition to continue to expand money in ukraine when even western reporters who are tend to be a propaganda mouthpieces. or even acknowledging that a large percentage of those weapons that are being sent to ukraine are not making

it to the front lines, but are being diverted into the hands of criminal organizations and black markets. so i think the citizens in, throughout europe going to demand that the government start taking care of needs at home as opposed to engaging in this weapon generosity. ready has been thrown at the ukraine. the last leader of the soviet union mikhail gorbachev has passed away the 91 year old died and moscow central hospital author a long illness. so just briefly here on the program will look back at his legacy with quarter, much of a overhauled the soviet union's foreign policy by introducing that of the new political thinking doctrine that ultimately thought relations with the west. and

what about the end of the costly cold war? i've got a bunch of cold for the well to be united and independent. instead of separated. he saw the balance of interests of different nations as a way of solving international problems. universal values had to be recognized whether they were religious or national. the soviet leader also wanted to see the world free from old nuclear weapons at the start of the 21st century. but the outcome didn't turn out as rosy as gorbachev had envisioned. following his world altering decisions of the nato military bulk expanded eastwards and conflicts were seen in post soviet countries. another consequence, some allege from his overseeing of the collapse of the soviet union as that of the ongoing crisis in ukraine. now those and other consequences of the fall of the soviet union have been largely absent from the mainstream western media reports remembering gorbachev and their headlines. and we got reaction from our radio host and political commentator, steve gill, who says,

go push off legacy will always be regarded as a very mixed bag. you know, i think like most historic figure, there's going to be 2 sides to the coin on one hand as you point out, and oversaw the collapse of the former soviet union in the cold war. so good and bad. i think for most russians today, they will have to acknowledge that the prosperity that the freedoms that are there in russia are achieved beyond what could have been a change or sustain under the former system. but at the same time, it has shrunk the influence and geographic reach of russia and is put things like the ukraine war at the forefront that might have been prevented had the former soviet union stayed together. so i think the easy answer probably be the simple answer is it's a mixed bag about gorbachev. legacy. while off of the fall of the ussr, the post soviet space erupt with so called color revolutions. the 1st state to face such an uprising was georgia. the rose revolution came off,

it was claim that parliamentary elections were rigged. a mass protest broke out people demanding the president's don down. demonstrators that eventually stormed the seat of the government, enforced the president to flee and proclaimed the revolution. few days later, opposition leaders suddenly came to the power. now a couple of years later, the tulip revolution they rested in critic. it's done following parliamentary elections in 2005 opposition for susan cited mass protest calling for the results to be a null. and the vote to be re stage 1000 storm, the seat of government and the opposition ceased control ended to the formation of a brand new administration and that hope the president's resignation. well, we discussed all these changes with political commentator, steve, gail, and he also tries to make some links to that of a conflict in ukraine. you know, i think it's the same in politics worldwide. what have you done for me lately? and i think it's hard for, for russians today who are enjoying more freedoms,

more religious freedoms, more prosperity for the, for the typical russian than they were enjoying 30 or 40 years ago under the, under the old system. they haven't experienced that recently. so it's kind of kind of easy, i think, to ignore where they are versus where they were, might have been, had there not been any changes, but then again, you point out that the west has allowed the expansion or the talk of expansion of nato encroaching on russia's borders that has clearly been a flash point that in my view, this administration didn't recognize, ignored, or take her to the forces in ukraine that they were wanting to catered to. and they have made a problem that they could have been, i think, resolved much worse and continues to, to be a conflict. but i think could have been avoided or looking back one year later that of the withdrawal from western powers of afghanistan. of course, the central asian country was ultimately ravished by 2 decades of war. ah,

afghan celebrated the 1st anniversary of the withdrawal of us forces on tuesday with festivities and fireworks. a taliban support has commemorated re taking control of a country following 2 decades of a war and occupation, which is estimated to have claimed, at least the lives of 200000 people. the taliban government declared august the 31st public holiday. his locals have to say about the occasion in congratulations on the anniversary of our rise to power. and again, it's done through our sacrifice. once again, i want to remind you that nate, who was forced to withdraw his troops under pressure from the magi dean. and we should celebrate this day by the, this is a memorable day. and we celebrated with hope. i have a message to the invaders that no one can occupy our country and use our air space

for negative purposes. was the dogma hunter, today's the day when the u. s. was defeated, we have come here to celebrate our independence. this is my message. my advice to all countries do not interfere in our administrative and domestic affairs. and what our last afghan detainees held at guantanamo bay. saddler. haroun ghoul, was recently freed after a decade and a half in custody reprieve. a non profit organization of international lawyers and investigators fighting human rights abuses welcomed his release. o kline i saw de la harun ghoul, his has been released from guantanamo after 15 years imprisoned without charge or trial. i saw this finally free and able to rebuild his life with his family who have waited so long to see him. now of course, washington set up one ton of obey and cuba after $911.00, it was initially intended to hold suspects linked to al cairo the taliban. many of

his advice had been held without formal charges and without her legal power, she challenged that attention. of course, a happy now numerous reports and allegations of torture at that facility. we did hear from one a former inmate, of course that of our daughter. how don't go about what he experienced for his 15 years at one time. obey due to the americans have their own laura in one of my bait, they believe they can arrest any one from any way. that is then might ah, it is a long story to mentally. i was shocked. although there was agreement, trini afghan government and the u. s in 2006, the no afghan would be taken to once on my bay. they never respect to the agreement . at that time, prisoners were being released from one ton of my bay. but in june 2007,

i was sent that mental stress was always part of our life because of solitary confinement, leaving you at an abandoned place for several days. sleep deprivation was the worst thing i faced and still today, i can't sleep peacefully. no way, it's a height why they would doing all this. they might have reasons for that. ah let's go to little took 10 years, man. it was not like 10 days, 10 weeks, so 10 months, 10 years, i was not given access to a lawyer to fight my case. ah, was it as part of them, the war was over, the u. s. army had left afghanistan according to the geneva convention, prisons will, must be released after the war is over and prevails. my question is if they wanted

to use 110, am i by for justice then why did their legislatures like in congress approve a law to keep a prisoner that for an unlimited time? is that justice to keep a prisoner without proving his crime in a court? one of the top american military generals once said that they will give the west torture to the prison. his aim one time i by said they would never enjoy the rest of their lives after they were released. i've not seen a single prisoner less than 40 a person that was brought in at the age of $22.00. now he's 42. so don't talk about justice, but it was just cruelty in one side of my bay. ah, the zillow did it, the psychological effects of detention will remain with me for years. whenever i talked to my family on the phone, they would tales of death, sorrow, and pain in the family. it was the biggest challenge for each prisoner that to face

it alone, with no shoulder to cry on. prison itself is a horrible place. i would say that if you just live in a prison, that is less than the torture you face. it's beyond your imagination. you lose all hope, but when muslims, and we believe that one day you will be released day, the americans plan something bad for you. but their wisdom is nothing against the wisdom of god. oh, i dropping out the program for this. i had live on auto international. a great pleasure, haven't you with us it's half us 5 in the morning here at moscow. we are back soon with ah . oh seemed wrong, i just don't a whole new world yet to see how the scene becomes the african.
