a crew of inspectors from reaching be entitled nuclear facility. while european powers speak about african nations facing starvation, only 2 cargo ships, karen ukraine's wheat of actually gone deck as others go to some of the world's richest nations. france tells us citizen, the brightest rolling blackouts this coming winter. i mean soaring energy prices. while a ceramics company in italy, off workers to sleep, less than start earlier in the morning to reduce electricity costs for lighting and the 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 stand less on lighting and energy. our situation has changed with the u. s. approved and other $4000000000.00 of military a to ukraine in taiwan. it stops. it's free at home cobit testing program, due to

a lack of funding. the news. your world news from moscow with the international, from the entire news team here, a very warm welcome to you. we do continue without breaking news coverage from ukraine. here on asi international, the russian defense minister says about 60 ukrainian troops attempted to enter the city of antarctica daughter by boats. the ministry has alleged that the arrival of ukrainian troops on the shelling of the city is being done to prevent the nuclear watched all the e a from reaching the upper ocean. nuclear plant is a short time ago. our corresponding romance quarter gave me these details. according to the russian defense been his feet, 2 groups of at least 60 soldiers arrayed to try to raise the nuclear power plant and try to attack in and around the 6 o'clock in the

morning. and they arrived actually by boat and landed about 3 kilometers away from the plant itself. and now they did attempt to seize the facility. however, according to russian defense ministry, russian military took all the necessary measures to try and prevent that and eliminate this rating group. it was also alleged that the ukrainian troops opened fire against the nuclear power plant and it was indeed an artillery choir and shells landed about 400 meters away from the nuclear power plants 1st power units. now, russian defense ministry are calling this a provocation against the visits of the you and say, nuclear watchdog says upper ocean nuclear power plants to try and examine and

inspect what's been going on there. now ukrainian authorities, it ends up our raj, m y, and you are saying that it was a russia who opens our fire along the route where the un un experts were supposed to travel. meanwhile, the situation in their good door where the nuclear power plant is located is very dire at the moment as a ukrainian artillery continues shelley, the town as vendor sand from local authorities, at least 3 peaceful civilians have zide this morning and civilian infrastructure was damaged as well, including 2 kindergartens. now vladimir rog, alpha top council member of the zappa orgy region administration describe for us the situation in the city. the cranium troops have been firing from rocket

artillery systems intensely throughout the city of an air guitar since 5 in the morning. the showing is also heading a residential area outside the city where civilians have been taking shelter from previous showing in the city center. there were massive artillery tax a couple of days ago, leaving 2 people in serious condition, a medical center and at least 2 kindergartens were also hit with places rafting at those schools. it's unclear how many victims there were ukrainian army started attacking the city ahead of the e visits, there's smoke everywhere, fires everywhere. it's very frightening in the city. people are trying to survive, however they can of a several days in a row, official say the city of another god has been continuously shelled by key of military the earlier of military drone attack to city administration building in an article. also as we understand though, no one has reportedly heard in that strike. meanwhile,

another drone was shot down after had opened fire upon radioactive waste facilities at the embattled nuclear plant. and that is according to the russian military. now that is a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency has arrived in the ukranian controlled city. all this up with you as just north of the nuclear power plant which has been held and guarded by russian forces for several months. the vienna based a wants to create a permanent mission at the atomic facility, also assess its condition off the weeks of shelling. my mission is emissions that seeks to prevent a nuclear accidents and to preserve at this important, the largest, the biggest trip our guns in europe, the, the whole of europe, not only in ukraine. so this is what we are concentrating even with numerous attacks at all,

just around the plot. concerns are high over what conclusions the i e. a will draw as cases have already emerged, according to some with international agencies have changed their mind to apparently better suit of mainstream narrative. i'll give you an example. the visit comes off to another global watchdog that of, i'm just the international. came under fire fruits criticism of kiev and had to backtrack. earlier this month, it published a report accusing the crate in military of violating humanitarian law, claiming kia was putting civilian lives at risk by placing its military assets deliberately in and around civilian infrastructure. the report on human shields sparked fury in kiev, which led to amnesty international issuing an apology for doing its job. now we spoke with former pentagon atlas michael maloof. he told us the investigation has no choice. it must be impartial because your tentative would be

a catastrophe. cool, 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. is 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 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. now one ship carrying weight from ukraine. dr. eastern africa on tuesday, while another headed to war torn yemen. international officials are pleased and optimistic with the efforts to 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 a therapy in small is it, it gives us somehow to step in the right direction. however, aussie is donald quarter, gives us more now on why only 2 ships about 4 countries in real need that all facing starvation. meantime, the rest of the ships loaded with this wheat cargo, a sailing off to rich countries. brave commander,

the un chartered ship carrying ukrainian weights to east africa. it's finally arrived in djibouti and since august 14th, the western main stream 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 metric tons of wheat in the ukrainian port of paved 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 rushes, invasion of ukraine will head towards 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 a stumble, the 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 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, 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. 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 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 concern 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 calves popularity around the world? when the 1st place you blame this on russia? as, as actually, sir, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. is a cynical, and this is taryn o. the geopolitical

o propaganda comes from united states in european countries and that watches very carefully watched policies of widen ministration and new new africa. strategy which i just wrote about in secretaries duncan's trip to africa last week and is still with hypocrisy and for it is good to have you with us today. 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 antique russia. sanctions was the 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 does well, the statement comes of a gas problems. notice it will stop providing a leading french utility company with any more natural gas. the cut off comes off

about company fail to pay for supplies, transferred in july, gas from says the flow won't be resumed until the french firm pays its bill. in full. prompted paris, the claim that moscow was using energy as a weapon. we discussed all of this with economist and political commentator. i can hammer 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, the, 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 guess. so it's totally normal that you don't supply anything anymore. the people don't, don't, don't pay. well,

this all comes as fears about power shortages have grown after russian energy, john gas from this week stop to gas supplies, to germany via the north stream. one pipeline though, this is due to a shuttle 3 day maintenance project that just adds to compounding problems in europe, which are seen inflation rates rising, even going past 9 percent and largely driven by that of storing energy prices. and faced with skyrocketing energy bills, european businesses have been struggling to find solutions. one italian ceramics company is office employees to sacrifice sleep and start earlier in the morning. the firms boss is saying that would help to reduce electricity costs for lighting the facility. the workers have also been told to use less air conditioning. ceramics are traditionally viewed as one of the most energy intensive businesses. so we went out and spoke to the firm, staff to see how they're adjusting it, go for them in time of the costs of methane has taken

a substantial tall enough. it's increase 1000 percent for a company like ours. it's difficult to bear. we're trying to hold onto our savings 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. ive 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 some feasible, well elsewhere in italy, several sicilian fishing marinas of analysis strikes as fuel prices continue to saw while a prime minister mattie o brown, he refuses to subsidize energy costs with the countries newly announced aid packages. 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 mazata de la,

declare that all 70 of the marinas fishing boats will stop their work indefinitely . and 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 engine and not go fishing anymore, because now we have more expenses than revenue that odd. and 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, it was the sun that you know, we can no longer work with these fuel price increases. petrol is too expensive. we have all stock with this system is useless to go to work, right? 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 the price of fuel. we are almost all bank,

but you cannot go wrong with lease money that we are paying 5000 years from petrol as you and i told you that before we paid $1500.00, even for us fisherman who have small bought the situation is becoming terrible. we are now ready to stop efficient for this increase in the price of fuel jail. there are now are shifting over to east africa, where in malawi, fuel is not just expensive, it's really hard to come by a residence. they are basically forced to purchase gasoline smuggled in from neighboring mozambique. now malawi has been low on fuel since april with petrol stations across the country. well, basically running on fumes. the rising price is have the government struggling to pay for the critical import. some entrepreneurs, however, are benefiting from the situation and reportedly smuggling petrol into the country . selling it at a 50 percent premium to price is listed at the often empty pumps. well, we heard from an official in malawi, 2nd largest city,

who says that western sanctions imposed against to russia has had a direct impact on the east african country. so there must be a lot of people just struggling with social, let me know, time zones or the real story, the way the company we can go about story. we ways we are the ones that us present when the actual on the, on the rush and we focus and i think time on times already this your life as they want to rush there also punishing elise mitchell like my life because like the united states is stopping it's free cove at 19 at home testing program, citing

a lack of funding this while funds keep on flowing to ukraine and taiwan in the form of an additional $4000000000.00 of military armaments is our correspondent, caleb, 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 has 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 app 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 tabs. 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 coal. 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 covey 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 observe 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 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 cod had, but 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 it is good to have your company today. so looking back now here, when are you into national, mocking one year since the southern withdrawal of western forces from afghanistan ah,

afghans celebrated the 1st anniversary of the withdrawal of us forces from the country on tuesday with festivities and fireworks. a taliban supporters commemorated re taking control over the country following 2 decades of what was a war and an occupation which is estimated to have claimed the lives of at least 200000 people. taliban government has declared august the 31st a public holiday. now, one of the very last afghan detainees held in the u. s. prison at one time. obey. i said doula haroun gould was recently freed off for a decade and a half in custody. a reprieve. a non profit organization of international lawyers fighting against human rights abuses, welcomed his readings. 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. of course, washington created guantanamo bay prison in cuba, right after $911.00. it's whole purpose was to hold suspects linked to al qaeda all the taliban. a many of his inmates have been held without formal charges on without the legal power. it's a challenge that detention what we heard from a former guantanamo in maita. i saw duleigh huddled and gould about his 15 years behind bars that at guantanamo bay, without trial. ah, the americans have their own lore in one town of my bank. 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 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 several days sleep deprivation was the worst 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, let's go to them. so 10 years, man, it was not like 10 days, 10 weeks, so 10 months or 10 years. i was not given access to a lawyer to fight my case. ah, it wasn't

a 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 peace prevails. my question is if they wanted to use 110 to my buy for 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 worst torture to the prisoners him one time i by said they would never away the rest of their lives. after they were released this, i have not seen a single prisoner less than 40 the 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 talk 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 is beyond your imagination. you lose all hope, but we're most labels 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. but appreciate joining us here for the program on auto international. we've been covering breaking news out of ukraine hero. naughty is the u. n's, atomic energy agency attempts to examine the zapata algae, nuclear power plant. but a venture has been impacted by what russian officials called a ukrainian offensive of the area what they also call up provocation. will details online policy dot com telegram auto c at gap the meantime? banking

with ah, ah

ah ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on a very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time time to sit down and talk with you when you walk me, it's pretty good or someone go through what it means. good. where should i? in 1991. the situation spirals completely out of control. gorbachev announced the referendum for the spring of that year. he asked soviet citizens to vote on whether the state should be preserved on changed this year. some of this provide you with the $33.00 anthem with, with on the selina for goes to walla. so yes, get say, ah, trenton easter is a narrow strip of land along the bank of the nice the river in soviet times it was part of the mold davian, soviet socialist republic. in the late 19 eighties, the winds of change began to blow and chisel and local nationalists demanded that
