the the the, we are glad that the russian federation did what it needed to do to keep, keep our inspectors safe, but un acknowledges russia's role in ensuring the secured here. if it's a comic watchdog as an international team assessors, those nuclear power plants and companies emit continued a tax on the facility by ukrainian forces. this is according to local official. donald trump, the major republicans representative stream ism that threatened the very foundations of our republic. joe biden, to take the swipe, trump and other rival republicans saying they are an extremist threat. so us

democracy, new evidence proposed to show biden's administration, collaborating with the big tech to somehow free speech. mozambique ultimately rejects us demands to prohibit russian cargo ships from a top of the eastern africa. country welcomes up to sting, trade with moscow use . it is great to have with us as we are finding old corners of the globe. this is the international so the un has acknowledged to russians, commitment to ensuring the safety of the international atomic energy agency team at the embattled zacko rashid nuclear power plant. that is amid continuing a tags on the facility and its surroundings by ukrainian forces. this is according to local officials. russian defense minister today stated that the ukrainian group

of sebo stores tried to capture the station in order to use the mission as a human shield. we are glad that the russian federation did what he needed to do to keep keep our, the inspectors a safe. that statement came off to a group of around 60 ukrainian troops trying to take control of the plan to early thursday morning. this is, according to the russian defense ministry of the i. e. a team has assessed evidence of the have talk and has said it plans to maintain a permanent presence at the nuclear facility. the head of the un watchdog said experts were, would remain at the plan to conduct more detailed analysis of the shelling attacks . meanwhile, russia has requested a meeting of the un security council. so that world powers will to hear the conclusions of the i a mission. and our correspondent acres down off is among the 1st journalists at the nuclear plant to report on the un teams visit around me is

arguably the biggest nuclear scare that the world has seen since the caribbean missile crisis between the soviet union, the united states. this is this up a raska nuclear power plant and you can see some of the react as number one and 2 nuclear reactions. and in fact, it is being shelled, relentlessly. and russia has been very much concerned and has been trying to draw the attention to this very big problem, trying to raise it to an international level. and finally, a special monitoring mission of the international atomic energy agency has paid a visit to the facility with quite a scene here at the dap ruskin nuclear power plant. he special mission with the international atomic energy agency on you can see him who can right beside the man you suit here. he's basically to be played and he's being shown the

sort of extensive damage that's been dealt to the facility we were able in these few hours together have a lot, a key things i needed to see. i saw your regulations were very clear right here. next to me you can see an, a u, a v. combat drone that was down just days ago above these upper oscar nuclear power plant. if you very interesting details, i'm pointing to which side could have used this drone again. russia does not import any, but here, for example, you can have this little chip plate and everything that you see here. it is written in english like you have parachute a left wing and so on. so the russians, they simply don't use english language for anything military. it is very much out

of the question. and here there's another piece, another device, another piece of the drone. you can see that it is brand new, it is yet 2022. so it is very, very new. this particular well thing, this particular drone has failed to do any damage to deal any damage to the facility because it had been down. but this is not the 1st time that things like this devices like they are being used against the facility. you can hear and see the water still dripping here because the shillings phase of them to have broken the pipes here and well, the personnel. they still haven't had time to fix them because well, the shelling hadn't stopped this place was where the 1st mortar shells landed and hailed down upon the that roscoe nuclear power plant who can feed down. you can see the aftermath broken windows and this warehouse stands abandoned. it used to be producing liquid nitrogen,

which is crucial to the functionality of the whole atomic power plant. now, well, it's an operational and it is making basically the work of the whole facility. very difficult. all right, have a look at best, are written for her trailing by r t in and out about a city very. the nuclear plant, you can see the streets are deserted. it's after attacks during the morning on the facility and residential areas which claim the lives of at least 3 people and wounded 5 others that's according to city authorities. moscow has continually accused ukraine of targeting the planned after securing it back in march with 500 russian soldiers and gotta get ever since a key of disagrees with all the allegations and pins. the blame on moscow. local may claimed ukrainian forces were trying to disrupt the arrival of the un watchdog by any means possible in the senior, but surely don't know, leaving it for some time. now, the ukrainian armed forces have been showing residential areas and the approach

a nuclear power plant. the residence of our city, us ged ukraine seeks to disrupt the arrival of the a commission. that's why they detained the mission. at the check point, they tried to destabilize the situation and give false information to them that the russians are fighting 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, independent journalist and walk respondent thomas roper shelling by ukrainian forces, clearly shows that she didn't want you an expert to see the nuclear facility. the interesting thing is they shelled in a guitar and, and the region in the morning when the, when the team didn't arrived. this also looks like he have tried to stop this in the last minute, but it didn't work as soon as the team arrived at the place at the spot where there

was no shelling any more reported. so we have to see um how key it will we have. um they are not really rational. they are not military experts. so they don't have a real clue about about weapons artillery and all the stuff. they are nuclear exports. so their job is to check whether the, the, the station, the power plant is, is an order whether they are working well, whether there's danger from a technical side. that's why i'm not expecting very much information from them about the shelling because it's not their job. and they dont have the ability for these, these are nuclear experts, not military experts. ah, donald trump and a make america great again movement threatened the foundations of the united states . that's how you as president joe biden slash republican conservatives in his prime time, addressed to the nation on thursday. just ahead of the midterm elections, you must be honest with each other and with ourselves too much of what's happening

in our country today is not normal. i will not stand by and watch. i will not the will the american people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories? we told ourselves that american democracy is guaranteed. but it's not. we have to defend it. maggie republic is looked at american c, carnage and darkness and despair. they spread fair and lies, lies tall for profit and power. when i see a different america, america limit of future. well, the theme of jail, biden's remarks was the soul of america, and he used his remarks to echo much of what he's been saying in recent weeks that he refused republicans. those who are supporting donald trump the make america great. again, republicans or mag, or republicans being a threat to american democracy. he echoed words that he's been used. this seems to

be the drumbeat from the democratic party. well, joe biden basis, very low approval ratings. there's a lot of unhappiness in the country with the economy with other issues, it seems like the democratic party is focusing on this notion that republicans are a threat to democracy, are fascist, etc. here's some of what's been said. it is one of the most extreme agendas that we have seen and it is a part of the it is extreme part of the republican party. they are threatening political violence, and they are attacking our democracy. during his remark, joe biden made some interesting comments. the one thing is that is that political violence has no place in america now. many who are familiar with the history of the united states may beg to differ, not only as there been political violence all throughout us history. you can talk about the hoopla plan, you can talk about the violence that has gone on all throughout american history.

in addition to that, we've seen the united states backing up who's insurgencies, terrorists, and other forces across the world. so this idea that the united states and political violence simply don't go together. that was one remark made. now biden said it was a big, complicated country and he was remarks. it's worth noting that as he was speaking, we could actually hear the sound of protesters that were attempting to disrupt the speech they were chanting, obscenity is. and he did refer to those, broke out there in his remarks, talked about they didn't have good manners, but they certainly were existing. but basically this was just biden repeating what he said, that he did not use the term fascism to describe the republicans in his remarks. but he has used such rhetoric previously and in recent weeks. so this is what joe biden said when he was on the campaign trail, a supporting democrats in the mid terms in rockville were at a serious moment,

our nation's history. the mag republican though just threatened our personal rights and our comic security threat to our very democracy. they refuse to accept the will of the people. they embrace, embrace political violence. they don't believe in democracy. and now polls indicate that 2 in 5 americans believe it is possible that there could be a 2nd civil war in the united states of america, there could actually be some kind of armed conflict. as a result of the heated divisions in the country. now, many are looking at joe biden and the rhetoric that he's using to describe his primary political opponents and saying is any kind of throwing gasoline on the fire . now, 66 percent of americans say that the country has become more politically split and that they are pessimistic about the future of the country. now, many people are pointing to one of the most deep ironies of the speech because joe biden used the word democracy over and over and over again. when he spoke,

he talked about democracy. the accused republicans of being a threat to democracy. but new emails that have just been revealed as part of a lawsuit carried out by the new civil liberties alliance show that the biden administration has been in communication with social media companies trying to maneuver and manipulate social media for political gang. it seems like the biden administration, with all their rhetoric about democracy, is taking action to try and control political discourse and decide what ideas are upper discussion and what ideas are not. people are looking over the role of the f b i. and the way that they conducted themselves in relation to the hunter biden laptop, scandal, people are seeing are the, the, the intelligence agencies of the united states. and you know, the, the policing agencies and security services at a federal level and the way they're operating and asking maybe the threat to democracy isn't coming from trump, who is now out of office. and his supporters,

maybe it's coming from an administration that seems determined to control political discourse. all of us soldiers who participated in last year's evacuation from afghanistan are now set to receive a military award. the one year anniversary of the hasty us withdrawal has renewed some criticism of america the longest war in history. the pentagon stars the troops will be honored with a meritorious unit commendation. it's a abroad recognition that covers both combat and support rooms. no other military could have protected so many lives under such challenging circumstances in such a short amount of time. not just because of our air lift or our logistics capabilities, but most of all because of the immense compassion, skill and dedication of american service. members. what about all the americans in translators left behind? this statement ignores that veterans are still being squeezed to help a their afghan colleagues. the best way to honor veterans is to stop our country

from getting involved in foreign conflict. as the taliban swept through part of the country and the closing moments of the us military presence, as we understand nearly 200 people lost their lives. that included 13 us members amid a suicide bombing and the chaos that the main at boarding cobble. several people you probably saw the pictures even fell to their deaths as they tried desperately to hold onto a transport plane as it took off from the runway for nearly half of americans, 48 percent said in a recent nationwide poll that the u. s. war in afghanistan was a mistake, according to the survey conducted by the u. golf poster, and the veterans and citizens initiative and g o majority 57 percent, believe that u. s. political leaders actually lied to justify the invasion while it's a lot more right now. crossing life, the current created calcium retired at u. s. air force lieutenant colonel, joining us here on our team to national a very good evening to you for moscow. thanks so much for joining us there on the program. obviously, soldiers, a patriots soldiers do all that told that they're willing to die for their country,

but it's announcement of an awards ceremony has provoked some criticism from some corners are saying that america actually left many, many people behind people who help them during the 2 decade wor, what's your take? well they certainly, they certainly did in my take is that this withdrawal was very poorly planned, very hasty. it was under duress and it was not particularly well done. the, the, the thing that they're proud of this in the united states is proud of is the massiveness of the air list. they compared to other airlines that we've done, and it's a massive amount of aircraft. but in terms of the operation, the leadership, the military leadership on the ground, any political leadership from the pentagon or elsewhere, we didn't have any of that. it was a shocking, actually, quite shocking and embarrassing situation last summer. and i think administration

is quite sensitive to a criticism because it's well justifying. what do you describe or the something withdrawal? a shocking and even embarrassing. why do you think, karen? what was the motivation behind what was a sudden withdrawal off the 20 years? because when this was all happening and we were showing the pictures of the chaos, so the cobble airport and so on and so forth. nato leaders at the time seemed totally shocked by what was going on. it does seem that they were not involved as well as they should have been. one of the things i think domestically in the united states, this is trump b in his final 2 years had been working hard to negotiate some sort of withdrawal. he was tired of it, he didn't think it was in the us interest when trump left this had not been completed. in fact, many in the pentagon leadership had pushed back against trump. was this. so the pentagon itself didn't believe it was over, even though the politicians and the rest of the country knew it was. so i put the

blame directly on the pentagon and the fact that there patting themselves on the back with this award. i is really almost ludicrous and it's in a sad, it's very sad cuz this i let his poll that came out nearly 2 thirds of those polled believe the politicians were well not particularly truthful to justify. the invasion of afghanistan or, you know, al qaeda and taliban were blamed for $911.00, although likely was yemenis and saudis, who are behind it all, it really depends which merits, if you choose to believe. but at the end of the day, it justifies the war on terror, didn't good. i. it didn't, in a lot of effort, a 20 years ago were, was spent on manipulating us public opinion to, to make it pro war. and this is not unprecedented. we, this country and many other countries do it to their population to get them excited about a war that really is not in their interest and not necessary. but certainly that happened that happened 20 years ago, and it happened repeatedly, repeatedly,

throughout the 20 years of the afghan experience for the united states. our politicians either lied or were lied to and relate that to the current. you are a retired us air force, lieutenant colonel. so obviously you have an enormous might have experience in the field of the military. did you ever hear how american soldiers in afghanistan felt during the rather hasty pull out? did you ever speak to anyone who was perhaps on the ground or new people who were on the ground and found themselves in the midst of this withdrawal? i haven't spoken to any person who was part of that withdrawal. however, i do know a lot of folks that spend a lot of tours back and forth to afghanistan, and many of them even even a decade ago, even 15 years ago, wondered why we were there. understood that when we left nothing would change. in fact, it would be worse than it had been before we got here, we actually were adding value. we were actually taking value from the ability the

afghans to govern themselves. they knew that they knew that 15 years ago, many of new 20 years ago. and certainly, i think almost all of our soldiers understood that in 2021. so finally, the politicians decide and disastrous unplanned withdrawal. that is, is quite costly and they ask ins are still paying for what we've done to their country. not just for 20 years, but in the way we with karen korea, koski retired us air force, lieutenant colonel joining us live your knowledge international. really appreciate your, your feedback there. thank you very much. are good to have your company today most . i'm because welcome to russian ships back to its ports, ultimately rejecting u. s. demands on the eastern, an african country to restrict ties with moscow. last month, washington pushed to mozambique to ban a russian cargo vessels on the allegation. they had been involved in some way with

the ukraine conflict that followed us sanctions on the companies that operate those ships as part of western measures intended to cripple russia's economy. we heard from security analyst or will call diaz, who says washington generally seeks to impose its positions on other countries without considering their sovereignty. this is his opinion. the usa trying to put some rules or some have the government to do that. and then we can neutrality provision, we are with relationship with the west coast review with day and better. but we have also very good relationship with the russia and other countries around the world. so this is very important to submitting that position of neutrality. got going to country, depending the support of the all countries around the world. this is the reason all countries on the top of the world thinking the african countries will follow their rules. so do you think that route because is support african countries the

world health organization has warned that a major health crisis is likely to follow this after the devastating floods in pakistan which have already affected more than 30000000 people. it's fear that water born diseases could spread rapidly under the common conditions as unprecedented monsoons resulted in, quote, a 3rd of the country going under water. that's according to pakistani officials. they also called it a serious climate catastrophe. rescue operations of course, are on going. and we have this report from one local journalist, at least one period of august on is under flood water. as many as 27 people have died alone during last 24 hours since mid june. still now, nearly 700 people have died in different incidents of flood across buck. you saw me and i have many as 1500 passengers in different incidence of floods. now there is

also allowed me to port that among the dead. there are at least 400 children were also killed in lord western robin robin's habit for help. there are 4000 tourist who was tendered in one of the resort. long valley and laws are still happening, still need to be rescued to the helicopter. my understanding is that the government is an auction and law students are going to be as ask you sooner or later. the overall picture that he was developing and focused on suggest that at least in the said, the machine province, the salt water has these up to the, to 9 feet. that means hot, terrible, it has begun for the people to survive in this water. and the rescue oppression is still under impartial barcas on. and the authorities have not been able to reach to the affected people. partly because for some simple reason because the doors

network have graphs, the bridges have glass and the number of the helicopters which are required, given the sure huge scale off off the flood flood operation that is less so far. the help that is coming from the fairly can please, is a, is a, me go to some of the food supplies that box. i'm getting from the article to some the, from the turkey and some other countries. these you, inspector general, is expected to regions each in focus on the next couple of days, thought he and he would himself assess the skin of the damages that have has been caused by the flood water. the climate change is one such leading factor. another factor is that the successful success of government have, have failed to build up the mega, mega dams because of which every year, the flood sweep over, everything that comes on there. it gives people a destroy builder, and then it ends up in a, b, and c. something exactly what is happening right now in buckets on at least buck us

on these nice tens of billions of us dollars. booty heavily dead people in 3 provinces. java on islam. bob could i have your company for today's program here on our team, so it would be absurd for africa to give up oil and gas resources. that is the message coming from the president of senegal, as he host to west africa is leading energy for him now entering its final day for good grammar. what we're all looking for is to have a viable industrial project in the long term in the interest of all parties, states, oil companies and national companies. in this process, it is fair and equitable that we use our available resources. it would be absurd to give up our oil and gas resources, even if africa uses all its gas reserves more than 5 trillion cubic meters over 30 years. the cumulative total of all of those emissions would represent barely 3.5 percent of c o. 2 emissions is the statement comes after african nations expressed

outrage of what they dubbed a climate injustice coming from the west. a claim there is a deliberate attempt to shift responsibility for the continents emissions which contribute very little to the global total participants of this years form and senegal are determined to define the future of african energy and how to banner from benefit from that of newly discovered resources we heard this from our local journalist is a foot on thanks to place against the backdrop of significant oil and gas discoveries in the region. it is a forum of countries where larger these of, of energy resources have this on to me been found. now these countries have come together to decide how to benefit from it, given the parent and energy transition, the countries of the region want to be treated fairly and allowed her to benefit

from depos. it's in order to, to improve the quality of life in that countries during the of the seller's home, when he, his excellency pays it on to make his salad blast is a fact that developed countries no longer want to finance to for seed films. enough, he got the cut on to ship a son of the african union, so advised to decrease eyes and gas exports from the continent because 600000000 africans leave redoubt, electricity, boycott bollywood. so trending hash tag right now among indian social media uses saying that growing dissatisfied with the traditional hindi film industry. the movement is sparking concerns among filmmakers and actors. though, is it a temporary trend on the end of an era? his correspondent runjun shot him. it shows was bollywood all the way

for trend which is own, for several months has recently picked up again taking on the all 100 year old industry. the anti bollywood sentiment and india's on a rise on more and more bollywood movies for week tim to the calls for a boy court. charl armies are going off to actors or comments made by them from years ago are being pulled out and retrofitted to announce boy gods. what really is going on? is bollywood losing its connection with its audience? meet foam historian, gotham chin dominy, an expert who studied the evolution of cinema since the ninety's. could you deconstruct the bully? would boy court trend that we are seeing? so every grant has a phase and it has to live it slave and hostile come to you. i think some of the questions which these trends are posting, like the plea of the audience. if you me, your daughter, chris houser, then you won't see

a change. but at the end of the day, i responded with changes. unfortunately, narrative on global or did more. i don't think it's wiggle, but he hated to leaders and children or daily in, in dallas oldest and few left single screen cinema holes. people up boring in on a weekday afternoon. most cinema bowski yard are unaware of the online boy or trend . big boycott trend didn't hold any value to compare the real population with online population was good. all that matters is the contact. if the content is good, nothing can stop the audience from watching. and perhaps that's the wood. while social media and hashtags are here to stay, a truly good piece of work cannot and will not be impacted. the end of the day content is king, region sharma, r t new delhi. i. so it's india wrapping up this hours news off work. now i just off that 9 am in new delhi and 630. i am here at moscow. really appreciate your

call. we are back very soon with more of your news. ah oh, when i was showing wrong, when i just don't know. i mean, you world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground with

.
