a a with we have breaking news, the dollar live on archie, international official say 3 people have been killed on one wounded in shelling in the city of a nautical daughter. it's very close to the embattled ology nuclear power plot. of the attacks. com was an international atomic energy agency. crew arrives to visit the facility also in the program, while european powers speak about african nations facing starvation. as we understand only 2 cargo ships, karen ukraine's, we have actually gone that all the others are sailing off to the world. richard countries, bronze braces, it citizens for rolling blackouts,

coming in the winter at mid storing energy prices. while a ceramics company in italy, off to workers to sleep. last and start earlier in the morning to reduce electricity costs, lighting, and air conditioning. for a company like ours, it's 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. as united states approved another $4000000000.00 worth of military aid to ukraine and tie one, it stops it's free at home cova testing program due to a lack of funding. a great pleasure to have you with us for this. i was program live from moscow. this is asi international. we do kick off the program with breaking news from ukraine as we understand people have been killed and one wounded in shelling of the

southeastern city of antarctica daughter that is very close to those she nuclear power plant. the city is bombarded by what local official described as a ukrainian artillery, a talk on residential areas, bring up some photos for you right now. the latest footage uploaded to social media showing the aftermath of the shelling, official, se ukrainian forces damaged civilian infrastructure. and for several days in a row, officials in the city have been continuously getting shelled, as we understand by t 's military through early military drone talk to city administration, building in an article out also as we understand it, no one was reportedly heard had not strike meanwhile, and other drone was shot down after had open fire upon radio, active waste facilities at the embattled nuclear plant. and this is according to

the russian military. now all of this comes as a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency has arrived in the city of the port issue located adjacent to the nuclear power plot. the vienna based agency wants to create a permanent mission at the nuclear power plant and assess his condition after repeated attacks. my mission is emissions and seeks to prevent nuclear accidents. and to preserve this important, the largest, the biggest nuclear power guns in europe, the, the whole of europe, not only in ukraine. so this is what we are concentrating now, even with numerous attacks at all, even just near the plant concerns are high over what conclusion is the i. e, a will draw some concern. the cases have already emerged where international agencies actually changed their mind to apparently better suit that of a western back narrative. now the visit does come along another that of another

global watchdog amnesty international that came under fire for its criticism of kiev, and actually had to back track. early this month, amnesty international published a report accusing the ukrainian military of violating humanitarian law, claiming it was putting civilian lives at risk by placing its military assets deliberately in and around civilian infrastructure. this report on human shields sparked fury in kiev, which actually led to amnesty international issuing an apology for doing its job or former pentagon atlas michael maloof told us the investigation has to be impartial . otherwise, the alternative would just be a catastrophe. all it's very western dominated, as you can imagine. so it's going to be, it's gonna 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, 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 to encourage ukrainians, especially this to quit firing on. it just makes a logical sense. i mean, the 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 are straight to don bass. now

where, according to local authorities, one civilian was killed and 4 injured officer artillery hit. a 5 story residential building. ukrainian shells directly had one of the apartments that's 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. for the meantime, our correspondent romano cause i've reports from the see and also the latest the talk in the don't get republic. 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, has 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

a result of this ukrainian nationalists artillery attack 4th 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. and the driver who was killed right here on this spot. who is sir 62 years old? his name was sir vladimir. he was here delivering furniture and his life was abruptly ended by a ukrainian shal. this is the spot where he took his final breath, tanza. 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. you know, this is the bomb shelter. all 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 lower toys, car by they have to be working from here in order to not endanger their lives. there may be a lot of household, 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 were shelling 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, a football pitch for

a 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 of our t though nest people republic. meantime, one ship carrying wheat from ukraine, docked and eastern africa on tuesday. while another headed to war torn yemen, international officials are pleased and optimistic with the efforts the battle starvation, ukraine's grain is getting out and it's getting to the world's hungry. i think the hopeful thing about what is just happened with the docking of the ship in the food test and for, for the opium small is it gives us somehow to step in the right direction. however, all teams total quarter, now it gives us more on why only 2 ships bound for countries in real desperate need,

while the rest selling off to which nations 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 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 pivot. any a u. n. official said 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 in the

stumble, 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. 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. the suite is meant to feed $1500000.00 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 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 and africa. was it all really because the west is so concerned about starving africans, or was it a big p r study to boost keeps popularity around the world? we're the 1st place you blame this on russia. and as actually, sir, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. this is cynical,

and this is part of the geopolitical oh, propaganda come from united states european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies inviting ministration and new new africa strategy, which i just wrote about. and secretary state lincoln's trip to africa last week and is still with hypocrisy and for to europe now, where the french prime minister is warning citizens, they may be facing rolling blackouts in their homes. this winter outside the energy crisis grows of it. and he, russia, sanctions for you one day 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 does the safe

and cumbersome a gas problems. notice that it will stop providing a leading french utility company with any more natural gas. the cut off comes off to that company, failed to pay for supplies that were transferred in july. guys from says the flow won't be resumed until the french phone pays its bill in full. that prompted paris to claim that moscow was using energy as a weapon. well, we discussed all of this with economist and political commentator. huh. course, this justifies because if the europeans tell them we don't pay you, we would pay euro's but those euro we freeze right away. so basically not pay. 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 only claim for gas from they can sell the gas wherever they want in the world. and india and china, they demand the guess they want to go. they pay for the guess. so it's totally

normal that you don't supply anything anymore. the people don't, don't, don't pay. now of course, all of this comes as fears about power shortages have grown off the russian energy . john gas from this week stopped gas supplies to germany via the north stream one pipeline. but this is due to a report. it shows you all the 3 day maintenance project. now of course, all of this just adds the compounding problems in europe, which are said inflation rates rising, even surpassing 9 percent. and this is largely driven by soaring energy prices and faced with skyrocketing energy bills, european businesses have been struggling to find solutions. for example, one italian ceramics company is asking its employees to sacrifice sleep and start earlier in the morning with the bosses saying that would help to reduce electricity costs for lighting the facility. workers of also be known to use less air conditioning. now ceramic south traditionally viewed as one of the most energy

intensive businesses, so we heard from the firm staff about, well, how think getting along? he goes to the mcdonald, the costs of methane has taken a substantial toll in us. it's increased 1000 percent for a company like ours is difficult to bear and we're trying to hold on to our savings in the setting nail tag and 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. listening 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. while elsewhere in italy, several sicilian fishing marine, as of announced, strikes as fuel prices sky rocket. our prime minister mario druggie refused, is to subsidize energy costs with a countries newly announced aid packages. now the rising cost of fuel is crippling

. the italian fishing industry threatening mariners up and down the coast with bankruptcy. santino adamo, the president of the italian national fishing association in missouri, del valo declared that all 70 of the marina's fishing boats will stopped their work indefinitely. so he heard from several of the towns, anglers about their struggles well against us. we should in the we have resisted the increase in petrol, but now we are really tired and 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 that on there is a lot of demand for fish, but we just can't go out to sea anymore because petro cost way too much phase it was the sun that you know, we can no longer work with these fuel price increases. patrol 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. almost all banks. you cannot go wrong with these prices. we are paying 5000 years for petrol. and i tell you that before we paid 1500, even for us fisherman who have small bought the situation is becoming terrible. we are now ready to stop fishing for this increase in the price of fuel. now over to east africa, where in malawi, fuel is not just expensive, but you can hardly even find this stuff. and residents there are forced to purchase gasoline smuggle, been from neighboring bose beek. now malawi has been low on fuel since april, the petrol stations across the country now reporting the supplies are running dry. the rising prices have the government struggling to pay for the critical import. so some entrepreneurs, however, are benefiting from the situation and reportedly smuggling, the patrol into the country, selling it at

a 50 percent premiums or price is listed at the often empty pumps. well, here at r t, we heard from an official in malawi, 2nd largest city, who starts at western sanctions against russia. i've had a direct impact on the east african country. so there must be 2 people just struggling with sanctions. but i know time zones quarterly, we'll sort of the way the company we can go about story . we made the schedule, we are the ones that were actually on the rush for example. and we spoke a week and i think you may want to punish rash. they're also true. punishing asked elise mitchell. like because you did show

the u. s. is stuffing it's free. coven 19 at home testing program, citing a lack of funding this while funds continue to flow to ukraine and taiwan in the form of an additional $4000000000.00. of military aid, here's our correspondent kelly. 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 and 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 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 koby tasks. now, at this point, this program has been shut down due to lack of funding their stockpiling test, or 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. amidst 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 is a so totally surprise the other people are many were familiar with the patterns of

us spending of observe these kind of actions. for example, you look at the. busy 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 americans. 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 cuts, i had what the d. c elite seems more concerned about an international agenda of hostility toward russia and china. then about the concerns facing average american that seems pretty clear. let's go with a full this program here, went off into national today. serbia stopped military drills on the boundary with kosovo. the controversial bail on serbian identification documents comes into force

after a month of delay. let's give it the latest a cause a lining up at the border removing stickers which covered up the serbian insignia to enter the state. one month ago, kosovo authorities declared every one living in the territory must possess a cause of an id card and license plates with a mandate kicking into effect thursday. so, meanwhile, is activating military drills in the area and has previously valid to defend the rights of subs would live and was in cost of, well, let's get more hello all this right now and crossing life, the local john listing cause of a right now nikolai yo vege joining us here and see national a very good morning to use a serbia as we understand is starting military drills today. this is just as cause of i was i the law is to come into force. did you think? is there any connection and, and basically what you think we should expect today from both sides. good morning for you and everyone watching us day. so these military rooms are not seeing on the

ordinary. so serbia, as used it many times before as a means of saying that it will be serious in defending it's just unfortunate made it doesn't have much effect in the, in the past. it is not we don't have many, many cars, not hands anyway. so it does not the only due to the fact that and then you arrange the agreement on the id cards that is going into into power. it is more due to the fact that the prime minister of so far also said that on september the 1st he will start the implementation of the license or license plates for the cars. that's meaning that all cars that are on there. it's also on that also have to. ready register marks from the republic also,

and us being plates are not optional anymore. so these times as well. and then the bigger are not to discuss. and despite that they are yes, yesterday evening was roger peaceful here. also we share some indications in some unconfirmed information that there will be again, another postponement of, of the reasons for the blades. and primarily, nothing will happen today or tomorrow so that it feels you mentioned serbia as established larger presence near possible. so call the fossils border scenes declared in the fence and since the war ended in 1999 for presence of serbian military, there is nothing out of the ordinary. and as i said, this has had maneuvers with troops more or less every time he has nothing to

solve any problem in that for so adamant in alliance manner. so in effect, surveys solving gets readiness to respond if necessary, even by those means, which have not yet been put into action. so far, i have local john listed, nicola, your face joining us live here on our team to national many thanks for the update. we appreciate it. what great have you with us? well, this program live from moscow just for a moment. now looking back here on our tea, mocking one year since the sudden withdrawal of western forces from afghanistan. the news. so i've gone celebrated the 1st anniversary of the withdrawal of us forces from the country on tuesday with festivities on fireworks. a taliban supporters commemorated re taking

control over the country following 2 decades of what was a war and occupation which is estimated to have claimed at least the lives of 200000 people. taliban government has declared august the 31st of public holiday. now, one of the last african detainees held at the u. s. prison at guantanamo bay, cuba, i thought doula had on google, was recently freed after a decade and a half in custody. reprieve. a nonprofit organization of international lawyers and investigators fighting against human rights abuses, welcomed his release. o cline i saw the 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. of course, washington created guantanamo bay prison in cuba, right after $911.00. it's purpose was to hold suspects linked to al qaeda and the

taliban. many of its inmates had been held without formal charges and without the legal power to challenge that, detention we heard from former one, panama inmate, asagwa huddled gould about his 15 years behind bars there 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 then might mm ah, 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 to 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 for several days. sleep deprivation was the worst thing i face 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 let's go to the 10 years man. it was not like 10 days, 10 weeks. so 10 months and years i was not given access to a lawyer to fight my case. ah, blizzard, as part of the war was over, the u. s. army had left afghanistan, according to the geneva convention, prisoners will, 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, and 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 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, but it was just cruelty in one side of my bank. ah . was along with 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.
