aah! with the towers, hope headlines right now and i'll see international. the international atomic energy agency team arrives in separate orgy to examine europe's largest nuclear power plant. i made a reported shelling by key forces. the monitors are seeking to prevent a possible public disaster. despite some concerns of a, whether their assessments will remain objective. while european powers speak about african nations facing starvation, only 2 cargo ships carrying ukrainian we'd have actually gone there as the rest are sailing to the world's richest nations. france braces,

its citizens are rolling blackouts coming in winter mid soaring energy prices. while a ceramics company in italy asks workers to sleep lessons start earlier in the morning to reduce power costs for electricity lighting. a condition for a company like ours is difficult to bear. we're trying to hold on to our savings. we're trying to spend less on lighting and energy. our situation has changed. and there's the u. s. to prove that other $4000000000.00 worth of military aid to ukraine and tie one, it stops it's free at home. it testing program due to a lack of funding with or i just offer a 7 am on thursday here at moscow and a pleasure to have you with us today. of course it's up to you, but you start with the very latest developments in the ukranian conflict. of a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency has arrived in supper,

or you city just adjacent to that of the nuclear power plant. the agency wants to create a permanent mission to the site and assess the state of the facility after repeated attacks. mission emissions that seeks to prevent nuclear accidents reserve at this important the largest, the biggest nuclear power in europe, the whole of europe, not only in ukraine. so this is what we are concentrating. agencies mission comes in numerous ukrainian attacks on the nearby city of antarctica. as well as the nuclear plant itself, the one's a drone attack to city administration, building in another good local official said no one was heard. while another drone was shot down off the firing on the nuclear plant waste facilities. thus,

according to the russian military, of course, the russian soldiers had been guarding the plot. now since march, and even with numerous attacks at or just near the plot, concerns are high over what conclusions the i a will draw. now the visit comes off to another global watchdog that of i'm with the international came on the fire for it's criticism of kiev and actually had to back track earlier this month. it published a report of choosing the ukranian military, a violating humanitarian law, claiming it was putting civilian lives at risk by placing its military assets deliberately in and around civilian infrastructure. i'm going to use report on human shields sparked fury in kiev, which led to amnesty international issuing an apology for doing its job. well, the form of pentagon analyst, michael maloof, told us here at our to earlier that the investigation must be impartial. because

the alternative would just be a catastrophe. 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 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's no way that and, and to encourage ukrainians, especially this to quit firing on. it just makes logical sense. i mean, i have policy 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 eastwood now to don bass, where according to local authorities, one civilian killed and 4 injured after artillery hit a 5 story residential building. ukrainian shells directly had one of the apartment stuff according to russian officials. meanwhile, on the eve of the new academic year, the russian side is implementing a set of measures to protect schools in the area. meantime, our correspondent remind cause ref reports from the scene after the latest attack in tanya ask. 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 a living room over there at the apartment now it's completely destroyed.

fortunately, the owner of this apartment was at work when the strike took place, his life was saved, however, at least one person was killed and 4 were wounded as the result of this ukrainian nationalist artillery attack or hudson shall hm. yeah, i'm like, i wasn't here. i came home from work, 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 or change the driver who was killed right here on this spot. who has sir 62 years old? his name was a vladimir, he was here delivering furniture and his life was abruptly ended by a ukrainian shill. this is the spot where he took his final breath and these are the kinds of shell fragments was, was,

was you. my wife was near the shop when she was injured by an explosion. i was till around 3 fragments hit her. only 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. you know, 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 of noah. toys sca my they have to be working from here in order to not endanger their lives ostensibly, or the pros, hurdle, regular strikes occur every day, almost constantly. we sit here, we also work here. it is unrealistic to go out right now according to the locals, ukrainians. were shedding 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's a football pitch where kids come out to play. right now. it's quiet here in north america, 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 don't ask people's republic. well, in the meantime, at western officials are pleased with attempts to battle starvation and the horn of africa as well as in warsaw in yemen, as one ship carrying wheat from you. cray docked in east and africa on tuesday, while the other headed to yemen. the cranes grain is getting out and it's getting to the world hungry. i think the hopeful thing about what is just happened with the

docking of the ship and the food tests and for for a therapy in somalia is it, it gives us somehow to step in the right direction. however, there is another side to it, ortiz, donal quarter, gives us more and why only to ship so bound for countries in real need. and the rest are sailing off to rich nations. brave commander, the un chartered ship carrying ukrainian weights to east africa. it's finally arrived in judy and since august 14th, the western mainstream media has been hyping it up to no. and 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 n. official said the vessel, the 1st specially chartered by the u. n. s. world food program to unblocked food shipment stuck after russia's 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 istanbul, the w. f. p. ship brave commander, loaded with tons of ukrainian wheat, destined for much needed hunger relief in the horn of africa. i saluted 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. this suite is meant to feed 1500000 people in ethiopia for a month that 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's buying 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 concern about hunger in poor countries. all that media attention for a single ship and the plight of starvation and africa. was it all really because the west is so concerned about starving africans, or was it

a big p r stud to boost calves popularity around the world? were the 1st place, the blame this on russia? and actually, sir, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. this is cynical, and this is todd o. the geopolitical o propaganda comes from united states in european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies of widely 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 french prime minister is wanting citizens. they may be facing rolling blackouts in their homes this winter. that's as the energy crisis grows amid anti russia sanctions. for one that we are producing less electricity. and there may be moments if it's very cold,

where we can have a problem to supply electricity. in such case, we'd cut off by a rotation neighborhood by neighborhood for no more than 2 hours. one statement comes from a gas problems notice it will stop providing a leading french utility company with any more natural gas. the cut off comes off of that company, fail to pay for supplies that transferred in july. guys from says the flow won't be resumed until the french fun pays its bill in full. that prompted pirates to claim that moscow was using energy as a weapon. we discussed all of this with the economist on a 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 propose, 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 view. the only client forgets from they can sell the gas wherever they want in the world. and india and china, they demand the guess they want the ghost, they pay for the good. so it's totally normal that you don't supply anything anymore. the people don't, don't, don't pay. well, this comes as fears about power shortages have certainly grown off the russian energy giant gas from this week stop. the gas applies to germany via the north street one pipeline due to a scheduled at 3 day maintenance project. now that just adds to compounding problems in europe, which has seen inflation rates rising, even going above 9 percent, largely driven by what that of soaring energy prices are faced with a sky skyrocketing energy bills, european businesses have been struggling to find solutions. for example, one italian ceramics company is office employees to sacrifice sleep and start

earlier in the morning. the firm's boss is saying that would help to reduce electricity costs for lighting the facility. the workers have also been to use less air conditioning. a ceramic sod traditionally viewed as one of the most energy intensive businesses that we heard from the firms staff about how they coping. he goes to the mcdonald, but the cost of methane has taken the substantial toll in us. it's increased 1000 percent for a company like ours, it's difficult to bear. we're trying to hold on to our savings. i think they have that and 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. 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. elsewhere in italy, several sicilian fishing marinez of an ounce strikes as fuel prices continue to sor

apartment. if the mayo, the rocky refuses to subsidize energy costs with the countries newly announced to aid packages or the rising cost of fuel is crippling. the italian fishing industry threatening mariners up and down the coast. i santino adama, the president of the italian national fishing association and mazata that valo declared that all 70 of the marina's fishing boats will stopped their work indefinitely. we heard from several of the towns anglers about their struggles. well august, especially though we have resisted the increase in petrol, but now we are really tired. we can't take it any more. all the prices have risen, but especially fuel. and so we have decided to turn off the engines and not go fishing anymore, because now we have more expenses than revenue it on. there is a lot of demand for fish, but we just can't go out to see any more. because petro cost way too much phase was the sun that you know, we can no longer work with these fuel price increases. petrol is too expensive. we have all stocks with this system is useless to go to work. we cannot even pay the

expenses. we are in crisis, no one is helping us up, the government should intervene, so we could pay a little less for gasoline than the current prices as auto body of the boot. we are experiencing a nightmare due to the increase in the price of fuel. we're almost all bankruptcy. you cannot go on with these prices. we are paying 5000 years for petrol. and i tell you that before we paid $1500.00, even for us fisherman who have smaller boats, the situation is becoming terrible. we are now ready to stop fishing for these increase in the price of fuel. ah, the u. s. is stopping, it's free. cobit 19 at testing program, citing a lack of funding this while funds keep flowing through ukraine and taiwan in the form of an additional $4000000000.00 of military 8. he is all correspondent, calibre,

while the united states seems to have plenty of money to throw around, there's just been congressional approval for biden sending $3300000000.00 to ukraine military aid. there's also been an armed sales 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 test 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 toby tests. 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 co. 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. 2022 has been a rather top 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. the last leader of the soviet union because gorbachev has died. 91 year old passed away in moscow, central hospital after a long illness. let's for a moment here on the program. take a look back at his legacy. aah! gorbachev overhauled the soviet union's foreign policy by introducing that of the new political thinking doctrine, which ultimately thought relations with the western brought about the end of the

costly cold war. a go put off cold for the well to be seen as united, an interdependent and not divided into a communist and capitalist countries. so the balance of interests of different nations as a way of solving international problems. the outcome didn't turn out quite as rosy as gorbachev had. envisioned. nato's military block expanded to the east and conflicts emerged and post soviet countries. another consequence, some allege from his overseeing of the collapse of the soviet union is the currently ongoing crisis in ukraine. we spoke a sort of case, think of a cheese, a russian politician historian and a political scientist who says that gorbachev could have actually done more to prevent nato's expansion. a chest is sprayed. gorbachev was not the only one guilty in this matter. western partners with attempted to exploit that moment of moscow's historical weakness, and yet he turned out to be a much more serious mistake on their behalf. as they would provoke a resumption of

a conflict that resembles the cold war. we can even speak of a return of the cold war if for the reasons a common security system in europe. if certain countries, charter, exploit the post service space without engaging in a dialog on gold or listening to any arguments that lease to conflict relatively quickly. we are unfortunately seen that now the guarantee, oh, it's good to have you with us for the program here on this thursday or not he international. now for a moment here, let's look back on our tea international mocking one years since the sudden withdrawal of western forces from afghanistan. ah, the afghan celebrated the 1st anniversary of the withdrawal of us forces from the country on tuesday, with festivities and fireworks. the taliban supporters commemorated retaken control

over the country following 2 decades of what was a war and an occupation. it's estimated to have claimed the lives of at least 200000 people. a taliban government has declared august the 31st that of a public holiday. now, one of the very last afghan detainees held at the u. s. prison at guantanamo bay was assa duleigh had on ghoul. he was recently freed after a decade and a half in custody. a reprieve. a non profit organization of international lawyers fighting against human rights abuses, welcomed his release, are inclined aside to law. her own girl 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. of course, washington created guantanamo bay right after $911.00. it's a prison in cuba. its purpose was to hold sauce space linked to all kinds all the

taliban. many of its inmates had been held without formal charges and without the power to actually get a lawyer to challenge that the tension. well we heard from former guantanamo inmate, i don't know how to go about. it's 15 years behind bars, a get mo without trial. ah, the americans have their own lore in one ton of my bait. they believe they can arrest any one from any way. that is them might. i knew it is a long story to mentally. i was shocked. although they was agreement train the 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 110 to 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 several days sleep deprivation was the was thing i faced and still today i can't sleep peacefully, no way. it's a hide. why they were doing all this. they might have reasons for that. ah ah, let's go look 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 a florida? the war was over, the u. s. army had left afghanistan, according to the geneva convention, prisoners war must be released after the war is over and peace prevails. my

question is if they wanted to use one ton of my beef a 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 worst torture to the prison as a montana a by said they would never joy 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. it was just cruelty in one side of my bay. ah, the load it is, the psychological effects solves attention will remain with me for years. whenever i talked to my family on the phone that would sales of death, sorrow, and pain in the family, it was the biggest challenge h 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. i always 2 sides to every story here, we're not international. we do strive to present you all the angles to the new stories you hear about today. thanks for joining us there on the channel. we are back soon with many more of your thursday well headlines. oh ah

ah, mm. with who churchhouse goal was to preserve the british empire. the united states wanted an open world in which american dollar could penetrate, which american trade would have access everywhere and to market and to labor had 2 resources around the globe. so they had very different kinds of conflict. the

interest with john chill, whoo! installing of an impending attack on the ussr in the face of great danger, he seeks an alliance with russia. starlin doesn't reply. he doesn't trust churchill. with ah! at 4 o'clock this morning, hitler attacked and invaded russia. suddenly, with our declaration, the war without even an ultimatum, the german bomb rain down from the sky. i've been the russians in

russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the united states. 2 days later you as president roosevelt also gives a speech supporting the ussr. but there are other political forces in the united states territory makes his speech in december of 41. and the senate is as if the russians are winning wishing to port the germans at the germans. or when we support the russians and that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. dangerous destructive, roosevelt wound stanalin of japan's intention to attack the soviet union. but soviet intelligence report state the via tank is still in doubt. mm. it's imperative that the u. s. makes it clear.
