[000:00:00;00] a with a devastation. they've been shown every single, great left by the day. relent, shelly, all the power of a developing story today, a mid i tech, somebody's up a nuclear power plant, pi ukrainian forces at team from the u. n. a. tell, make watch dog arrives. out to facilitate the russian military said it's ready to ensure their security from the spike chalet also ahead. no matter what my german voting thing, but i want to give it to the people of the trade,

germany top diploma. say she will support ukraine, even a german this take to the streets over surging energy prices. unable to pay their a bill with the 1st of only 2 ships carrying ukrainian grain for african hunger head countries arrived on the continent with most of the other vessels heading to wealthier nations. we look into why climate injustice african countries slum the relentless, pushed by the west to go green, emphasizing the comparatively small amount to powerful emissions produced by african nation with from moscow to the world. this is our t pleasure that have your company today. my name's, you know, normally let's get to our top story. a team from the international atomic energy agency has arrived. the him bottled zap rogia, a nuclear power plant,

with russia's military saying it is ready to insure their security. it's amid continuing attacks on the facility and its surroundings by ukrainian forces, according to local officials, ortiz been following the team as the experts assess the evidence of the special monitoring make, you know, international atomic energy agency. they are just finishing their wrapping up the visit to the facility behind me. you can see with coffee. he's surrounded by his colleagues and a lot of press now, i mean, we've been following the delegation for quite a while. we've seen everything that they've been shown and they've been thrown quite a lot basically they've been show the devastation. they've been shown every single greater left by the days. relentless shelling all the power plants. it. yeah, final for it's a very heavy behind you. you can't see it really because of the amount of press on

the employees over the i have a massive rocky right there, which is being shown to mr. ross, even that as we were getting to the station we did see black smoke rising from the facility. the shelling did indeed, so when the delegation just went, the delegation just a power plant. it has been, it has seen quite some extensive damage, some while nuclear reactors have had to stop having to be made an operational because of well because because of the damage del to the station. well, these are the 1st pictures, l, v i a, a mission inspecting the lamps. the team came through ukraine control territory with russia using key and above delay. the missions arrival by blocking their half the jump. thurston warning does. a plant again came under attack today on the head of the mission earlier, acknowledge the risks of visiting the site. we are aware of the current situation.

there has been a reese, the military activity, including this morning. we have a very important mission to accomplish. as you know, we are going to start immediately an assessment of the security and the safety situation at the plant city. right now, i want to show you this as well. recent footage film by artsy in, in nor good dora city, very close to the nuclear plants showing as you can see, they're essentially deserted streets. it's after attacks during the morning on the facility residential areas which team the lives of at least 3 people and wounded 5 others, including a child according to city authorities. the local mirror also claim ukrainian forces were tried to disrupt the arrival of the un watchdog by all means possible to do it . but surely don't you know, giving you some time. now the ukrainian armed forces have been showing residential

areas and the approach a nuclear power plant, the residence of our city. a scared ukraine seeks to disrupt the arrival of the a commission. that's why they detained the mission. at the check points, they try to destabilize the situation and give false information to them that the russians are firing on their own positions. this is a standard scheme by which the ukrainian media provide information. but we have evidence to show the a that the opposite is true. i hope the head of the mission, mr. grossi has enough understanding of the current issue. also on thursday morning, a group of her and 60 ukrainian troops tried to take control of the planet. according to the russian defense ministry, the m. o. d said the attack was repelled. russia has continually accused ukraine of targeting the plant, kiev denies responsibility, pending the blame on moscow, or senior correspondent morale guess the of has more now about the latest attacks.

the situation remains ugly and tense at the supper, osha nuclear power plant, penantrelly, which has been incessant, had deadly over the past month continues. what from what we understand at the has been somewhat of a long ever since i just several hours ago the i. e. a team arrived on site there now being shewn around the area shewn the consequences of ukrainian shelling, which has struck time and time again. the ve, the complex of the nuclear power station itself. the city of america that is also big shell. egless. he, there have been many civilian casualties. the city itself is now without power, power love feeding. the city have been damaged the day the russian ministry of defense also said there were 2 attempts at 630 the morning at 7 am by ukrainian marines to storm the storm. the south bank of the near a river, which is where the nuclear power station is located. the north bank is held by the

ukrainian military ukrainian artillery from there has kept pounding the city of america dot and the nuclear power station. nevertheless, ukraine has been pushing loose this conspiracy theory that the russians themselves over the past month have been shelling the nuclear power station, which they control and their own positions. internet guitar at around the nuclear power complex. a perhaps heart of the narrative, a by you claim to try blame what some of called the insanity of trying to shell, the power plant. blame all of that on rush up with regards to what is happening at the nuclear power station itself. one of the fire power lines was, was damaged, depriving the reactor of the pallet needs for its own operation, forcing an emergency reaction shut down. now, only one of the 6 or reactors, a europe's largest operation nuclear plaza is still active. that is,

reaction number 58 easy. it goes without saying how, how dangerous and reckless. the shelling is that the boobs as a day or 2 and then a ga dot on the nuclear power station, but also to the entire ukraine. russia and perhaps the european and asian continents themselves. well, joining us live now is joe morgan, former us marine geopolitical analyst on blogger, who also spent a sizable time chronicle. events in don boss on the wider area. hi john, mark, right, lou. before the mission arrived that the plant, local official, say, key of forces attacked, the plant, tried to cease it. and once again, shell, the city of nearby inert good dart. does this look like an attempt to disrupt the mission as moscow alleges? it could be that, or it could be that it's an opportune time for them to try to take back the power plant. and i've been to the power plant and i've seen the control the russia has

there. ah, and i know that ukraine wanted very badly. and you, you think that this is an attempt under the guise of the investigation to try and do those it could be, it could be, but you know, what i do know is that the west keeps reporting that the russians are selling their own people at the power plant, which is absolute insanity. and i really hope that the mission takes. notice that this is not the case. yet they are, the results are going to be interesting how they get to the wider world, isn't it? if the results of the probe or unfavorable at to kiev, how would you expect you can to react to that? i suppose dismissed the findings, discredit them or accept them? well i think the western media is just going to change the findings because that's

what they've been doing all along different changing any real information that they are putting out to the people. and they are absolutely willing just blatantly lie about this situation in these regions. earlier, as you know, on the international came under intense pressure after accusing key of, of placing its military forces assets in civilian areas, essentially using human sheila's. i'm going to be finally ended up revising that report. and do you think such a precedent may put additional pressure in this case on what the i a e a is investigating? absolutely, there's going to be a. ready lot of pressure and you know why you said i've been to all these regions. i know what's going on here. and i know who's responsible for this stuff and i know that the ukraine craniums are showing and shooting their own people. if the

a does and all altering because of pressure, what would that say about the integrity of the organization? we should stress that we don't do not know that that is going to happen. well i, i think if that's the case, then they don't have integrity. and unfortunately too many of these agencies in the last, like how many international have sold out their integrity because they know they're going to get money for it. and it's really, it's, it's a travesty to the truth. and it's a travesty to the people that support these organizations. what i've come of the investigation, do you expect? well, i mean, the outcome i expect is the truth, which is the fact it, ukraine will solve it. nothing including destroying the power plant and terminating

huge part of ukraine and eastern russia in perhaps europe. although prevailing winds blow. ready east but but that's the that's, that's only because i expect the true the reality the situation is probably different. and the mission is expected to stay at the plant on till saturday on mark. and what do you foresee happening after that the shelling continuing or could this be a line in, in the ground? i think it really depends on what they report. ah, you know, because russia has been good. they haven't, they haven't been trying to cut off the power to, to, to the west. when i say western western grain, you know, that's not the modus operate upper on the date. they're not trying to hurt any

civilians. but that being said, who knows? yeah, we wait and see john mark doug from us. marine geopolitical analyst on blogger. thanks for your time today. thank you. good bye. now something else. on a related theme, germany, supp diplomats has pledged her countries full support to keep this by growing unease at home over a surging energy prices. and lena burbock was speaking at a democracy conference in prague. no matter what my german vote just thing. but i want to deliver to the people of ukraine we are facing now a winter time where we will be challenged as democratic politicians. people will go on the street and say, we cannot pipe payoff in a cheat prizes. and i will say, yes, i know. so we help you with social meshes, but i don't want to say ok, then we stopped the sanctions against the russia. and this means every measure i'm

taking. i have to be clear that this holds on as long as ukraine meets me. that's the german foreign minister or the ukraine. foreign minister, so yeah, the german foreign minister and elena bear, vaux slid over to this form 2000 event in prague from the u. foreign ministers meeting taking place in the same city were apparently they're cooking up an 8th round of anti russian sanctions. i guess the 1st 7 rounds of blow back haven't yet managed to completely destroy the european economy. so they're just going to keep going, i guess. so she's basically emitting that germans facing an energy and cost of living crisis are going to be thrown under the bus by their own foreign minister with the hope that you know, just maybe they can serve as speed bumps to slow the hall or haul the conflict in ukraine, she hasn't provided a single shred of evidence that german suffering is helping the ukrainian people at all or doing anything to alter the course of the conflict. her reason here is kind of like that of a child. you know,

when you see kids run to the top of an escalator and start talking on the moving handrail, pretending that it's them moving all the people to the top. everything that she's saying here is just emptied platitudes and the usual meaningless establishment. virtue signaling very walks remarks didn't escape the attention of russian foreign minister, surrogate over of, whoop little forbes screw. the obsession with loose, a phobia is on display everywhere. yesterday, jim and foreign minister on alina babel could confirm that the german people are now suffering hardship, adding to the citizens wilkin sinew to suffer. because belin intends to support ukraine, no matter. watson. what a fantastic confession, bereft, neglected to demonstrate exactly how these sanctions are hamstring in russia, although she sure really didn't need to provide any evidence that they are harming her own people. the proof of that is pretty much everywhere. meanwhile, 2 members of parliament from the german left party have written the peace in devout

calling out the misguided german strategy as a quote economic war, not against russia, but against germany itself. and underscoring that the sanction or having no impact in ukraine, zara vegan acts and christian lay wrote that the way to end the war against germany, germany is to open the nord stream to pipeline. since its non commission is a sanction itself against the german economy. the sanctions against moscow and not ruining the russian economy, but rather the prosperity of the german population. at the same time, the corporations in making dream profits, the, and these are calling for a diplomatic solution for ukraine. you know, it would be nice if someone in a position of leadership, any one could give some contours to a diplomatic solution. and what that might look like. or, you know, at least give that as much thought as the western establishment gives to endless, useless sanctions. and spin like we're hearing here again. let's take you to italy

. now we're several fishing ports on the island of sicily. have announced plans for strikes over the cost of fuel a big issue today. it is after prime minister and mario draggy refused to subsidize energy costs as part of the countries newly announced aid package is let's go through that. the rising price of fuel is crippling. the italian fishing industry. it's been a ledge threatening mariners up and down the coast with bankruptcy. the president of the italian national fishing association in missouri del valo, a time in south western sicily as declared that all 70 of the ports fishing boats will hold their work indefinitely. we heard from several local fishermen about their stroke. well august us we should in 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, it 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 are almost all bankruptcy . you cannot go wrong 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 small bought the situation is becoming terrible. we are now ready to stop fishing for this increase in the price of fuel, which i would the u. s. congress has once again taken name at the indian government over alleged human rights concerns. new delhi has repeatedly refuted those trains.

washington previously tried to push india to cut him ports of at rushing fuel and to quote, pick the right side. but new delhi has refused to condemn moscow. over it's offensive in ukraine has been tain, close relations with russia. in response, washington published more reports accusing india of suppressing freedoms of both speech and religion. deli condemn, the claims as biased. it is unfortunate that the u. s. both bank politics is being practiced in international relations. we would urge that assessments based on motivated inputs and bias views be avoided, and the naturally pluralistic society, india values, religious freedom and human rights. new deli based journalist and author like n p, c's not washington, doesn't like the idea of having partners. this is a model, it can, it is us plus others comprises united states and

a lot of unequal partners. the fact that most people in mainstream western media are trying to hide is the fact that us has never like equal partners. they want junior partner, they want rason states to be aligned with them. they don't treat anyone equal if you look at all the wars after 911, a, with the promise of importing democracy, used to it is countries in the world in a hurry. and that was a big project for americans that are undertaken, and you don't see any i or, or any materialization of that, or i either in iraq or enough kind of stuff. ok. something else to tell you about

today. a ship currying week from ukraine, talking eastern africa on tuesday. paul, another is on its way to hunger rack. sit down international official say there please. optimistic with such efforts. the battle starvation, 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 food destined for, for the up in somalia. is it, it gives us somehow to step in my direction. well, let's take a closer look at the final destinations of the cargo ships since they began moving again over the summer. more than 30 percent of all ships are heading to turkey with italy being the 2nd most popular in point of the at ships carrying grain from ukraine. but countries such as yemen, sir, done as well, not on the list of those at most affected by hunger. those to pretty much top all, but i've seen only one vessel so far. ortiz don quarter has more non. why so few ship, something been for countries in relate with the rest ceiling to richer 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 know at 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 shipments stuck after rushes. invasion of ukraine will head toward your 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 any stumble, the world food program, ship brave command de, loaded with tons of ukrainian wheat,

destined for much needed hunger relief in the horn of africa. a salute. all those involved in this amazing humanitarian operation. at long last, the ship made landfall on august 30th. it was as if hunger on the continent was about to come to a definitive end. it took 2 weeks to travel here from southern ukraine. this wheat is meant to feed 1500000 people in ethiopia for a month, but it is not enough for a country facing several humanitarian challenges. food security experts call it a drop in the bucket for the vast needs in the worst hid horn countries of so malia kenya and ethiopia, the nation where this 1st shipment is going, wait a minute. why did all of east africa only get one ship if they're so desperate for food? un records show that ukrainian grain went to other places as well? ireland, greece, italy, countries that are not exactly hunger stricken well. ukrainian officials are wiping their hands clean of that since after all, the free market decides the destination for the cargo has been negotiated between

the supplier and the buyers, and they are totally commercial activities. we don't decide where it goes. it is a free market. however, not everyone's buying that alibi. 34 ships with grain went off odessa. only one went to africa, the other to europe and usa, ukraine 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 stud to boost calves popularity around the world? were the 1st place, the blame this on russia and is absolutely sir, was the food crisis has been around for a long, long time. this is cynical,

and this is part of the geopolitical propaganda coming from united states in european countries. and that watches very carefully watched policies of lighting, ministration, and new new africa strategy, which i just wrote about. secretary state lincoln's trip to africa last week and is still with hypocrisy and for an insufficient wait supplies are not the only obstacles struggling african countries face nations, their dubbed western lead efforts to reduce global c. o. 2 emissions as climate injustice ortiz. carbo let. tuttle, i explained, was behind africa's outrage a head of the united nations club 27 climate conference which will be held in egypt later in november. this year. african leaders of government and private sector gathered for the africa climate week in order to speak with

a united voice. i aid of cop 27 african countries i seeking what is called climate justice as a greater part of the transition dialogue from dirty fossil fuel to cleaner energy sources. the continent produces the least amount of harmful emissions, yet african stand at the coal face of the negative impact of climate change, such as drought felon, as well as rising sea levels with a plentiful supply of natural resources. not all african countries i heavy to turn their back on conventional energy sources in order to go green. just to appease the more developed west, the nations, despite contributing less than 4 percent of global emissions, africa is obliged, was already limited financial means, and scant level of support. to spend around 2 to 3 percent of its g d, p. per annum to adapt to these impacts, a disproportionate responsibility that cannot be described as anything other than

climate injustice. while africa has the responsibility to address climate change, the west to is expected to support african countries in their quest to access energy and transition to clean a power. there's been a lot of discussions around abandoning coal as an energy source. but for many african countries, coal remains and erna of much needed foreign currency reserves, and a contributor to balance of payments expert, the wanting of major social upheaval. should these countries abruptly abandon these energy sources? africa has contributed among the least the climate emergency. yet it is already facing devastating impacts, but biodiversity loss, water shortages, reduced food production, loss of life and likelihood african countries can make use of an array of natural

forces for energy, from geothermal, solar wind, to tidal energy. but now, more than ever, africans are asking the question why they should gamble with their own future. if it's only to appease the green energy lobby in the west. i'm gonna bill it. i think john has worked for r t international. will some reaction we got to this story was from advisor to the south african power sector and my chill at coco, who believes hastily walking away from fossil fuels, will deeply hurt the economic development of african nations. then roll out, or the deep companies issue of the electricity sector must herrin head. dom hayes and course of good african economies. can that for you to see that rights for you to appeal to congress, to persuade africans to abandon was in world when the african countries so much i,

us electricity to power the industrial sector to power in common with sector and for red building choir, increased load electricity generation capacity to drive economy development africans have to develop a committee who is buying this course. these assume noodle pianos then as seen to africa. oh, africans must be less reliant on their contribution of food kittens to put a little african countries to the clean house. the system issues is really minimal . we cannot carry the bed in to discover nice that it used to sit la chilly, cocoa speaking to r t. no, that is a nice block for but stay with this because a fascinating insight next into what the towering figures during the 2nd world war, stalin, roosevelt churchill actually thought about one another. our documentary world war 2

leaders gets going in moments. do hope you can stay with us. ah ah, ah ah, the 2nd world war i think 2 millions of people were during the company and the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3
