[000:00:00;00] ah ah, russia deny is claims of a major ukrainian fight back in north calling the report a western route to encourage the sending of more weapons to clear. south africa host the world's 2nd largest money exhibition, bringing cutting edge technology. thousands of investors with queen elizabeth the 2nd you case. longest ruling monarch dies, age 9670 year reigns on griffin, blue era. the definition roll. it now has on the web page with

joe knows it this friday morning. my name is peter scott to bring you all the latest news here on r c, from our headquarters, our new studio in the russian capital. thanks for joining there can be no talk of ukrainian breakthrough. that's what rushes envoy to the un bustling nearby and just said, following reports, the kia has successfully started a counter offensive on the northern front lines. jonathan, this is christina green, has retaken several villages, but of course there can be no talk of any break swerve, and military experts are well aware of this. but the west media have already trumpeted that ukraine has launched a contra offensive which needs to be supposed by new western weapons. thus the necessary media background was created for the meeting in ramstein, which is exactly what zaleski and his west must is wanted. and this means that there is every chance that the ukrainian conflict will continue to be filled with new deliveries of western weapons will. after a short lull,

the ukrainian counter offensive so called counter offensive began here in kennesaw in region about a week ago. for the 1st few days, there was ferocious fighting. the ukrainian side took a number of small villages on the outskirts of russian controlled territory. but we saw at what price those villages which have no strategic value would take it hundreds. perhaps thousands of ukrainian soldiers perished. just here in garrison regions, we sure, of course were the world, saw the videos of hundreds upon hundreds of ukrainian ambulances ferrying soldiers injured in this offensive away from the fraud lives, the hospitals and nick, alive and cleverly rogue 2 cities. are you creating controlled cities near by, but this same offensive has now been repeated up north in conic of region, where they took over the town of berkeley or

a bigger town than anything they had taken over here. in kennesaw region, the russian contingent to the in the town retreated in good order. there was fairly a fight for the village. for tactical reasons, they choose to retreat, but your greatness is trumpeting this as a huge as a huge victory. they are claiming that their counter offensive is working despite all the evidence of the country, and that is the extra ordinary losses and material losses at tags and armored personnel carriers vehicles which now liter the battlefield here in here, san province. we were there closer to the front lines yesterday, this very difficult to film all of this because most of the losses are in the greek zone and no man's land between brushing lines and ukrainian lines. and they are, they are throwing everything they have into the fight. that is artillery attack through suicide, drones. everything that the,

the west supply to your grade is now being thrown into the grinder long with ukrainian troops. who many of them we have seen again the videos online? believe they're being used as cannon fodder given all the losses of that they have taken. we've also seen huge lines of civilians in cars. desperate to get out of the file, the firing lines, a huge fuse again, hours and hours, lot of waiting to get out of air to rush control territory deeper, perhaps into russia to escape the fight. given the fact that ukraine has increasingly begun to use artillery high mas american rockets to attack civilian targets and nowhere a whole. yesterday, a 5 story apartment block was devastated. 6 people. a 6 civilians killed whether ukrainian la rocket lad that near the roof and took down every floor all the way to

the ground floor. but again, as she did you hear her song every day, every few hours we hear anti air defense is firing away. at more ukrainian launches in the fields closer to the frontline, fairly 20 kilometers from here. we also hear that ukrainian counter this counter offensive these, these troop charges a ceaseless, but they haven't stopped at again, that ukrainian also as a suffrage, prevent this casualties along the periphery of the frog floods. and staying with ukraine, an italian reporter has been wounded by ukrainian mind while covering his movements in the south of the country. russia soldiers came to his aid. now this footage on your screen shows the damaged vehicle that had been carrying the journalist to the concert line. he was reportedly abandoned by ukrainian soldiers who'd been accompanying him. his driver died on the spot. here are 1st under counts from those of the scene.

with shell. hm. i mean, we were in position when we heard an explosion, we reached a car and realized it was a foreigner who did not speak russian. well, we understood that he was of military journalist matea from italy, from milan. we gave him 1st aid as he had multiple shrapnel wounds. he was then given something to counter the pain. and after that we pulled him from the car and carried him through the minefield. ukrainian troops were firing at us and we staggered our movements so as not to get hit, but in the end, everything went fine. with a generalist is now receiving medical treatment and his life is understood to be out of danger. ah, the biggest african exhibition of mining equipment comes to close to day in south

africa thus after 4 days. now as being billed as the consonants leading exhibition in the field. alexa, mining africa has a 50 year history, and his 2018 expos saw a phenomenal of 30000 people visits. the exhibition presents cutting edge technologies in mining, electrical and automation fields, attracting investors from all over the world. archie correspondent, corolla thoughtless, brings us more details. for 50 years, electro mining africa has been a cornerstone exhibition for businesses and professionals in the mining electrical automation, manufacturing, power, and transportation industries, from all over the continent, but following a 2 year hiatus due to the coven 19 pandemic. this my annual event is back with a bang. the vest wag group is a brazilian company expending into the bricks. countries with presence in china, india, and now south africa that countries decades long,

chronic electricity challenges present an opportunity for new bricks. pattern us by getting our efficiency hire usually each step of deficiencies around 20 percent less losses. we are making available more energy for everyone. we are actually capable of doing less costs for the total cost of ownership from our customers, and at the same time, help growth on, on industry and an overall country because we're lowering the losses on, on the grid. energy shortages and power cuts in south africa have curtailed growth across economic landscape. for years, meaning has been the bedrock of south africa, g, d, p. but some investors say it's not all doom and gloom. some university really dark summary. some industries do green off the money industry is it still grew you until

now? now that because the current, the you for issa slowly go away. so i think a loss. also, governments be how with her as a, as, as our plan, rebuild the plan, the reconstruction plane for south africa would have to include the rebuilding of the country's dilapidated railways. millions of dollars worth of public infrastructure has been vandalized and stolen. but for mining companies servicing of their own railway infrastructure, it's a non negotiable condition. underground months have many, many kilometers a rail and the ground require maintenance due to corrosion of tricks and, and upkeep of the tricks. and this product allows the ro maintenance crews to come cut out sections, replace them with sections, or in cases we, the cages have go underground, aren't able to accommodate long rail sections. they pre cut the rails done and roll them and it, and it allows that the operation to be completely repetitive, with, with perfect tolerances for fall, the connections, the impact of the global pandemic. and the economic decline that was already

visible in the south african economy prior to call with 19 have all shown as what light on the effectiveness of the partnerships that south africa hayes and more and more company from the developing world, continue to seek and find opportunities in each other's economy and the sentiment here and elect from mining africa conference is that sustainable solutions and partnerships in the energy and mining factor is exactly what countries like south africa need right now that i'm willing to attain join is very for oddity international queen elizabeth the 2nd has passed away at the british royal family's residence in scotland. utter recurring health problems. she was 96 years old. dozens of people gathered near london, buckingham palace as news of her death spread. and the british flag was lowered on all government buildings across the u. k. earlier this year, the queen celebrated her platinum jubilee mark in 70 years on the throne. the

oldest son has now become king king charles the 3rd. now let's just take a quick look at the legacy of queen elizabeth the 2nd whitten's longest, bowling mach, my margaret. i feel too much for you to share danger and renew every one. in the end, all will be well, ah, she attended mechanic and driver and she sat with normal other girl recruits in classrooms and learned how to take thought the trucks. i the cab before my, when i was there, you know, or should be the way to deal with carol

family which we i was in her my train i oh, i, i, she has a chance to join in the shed objective of creating a safer, stable future of her people and from the planet on which we depend. none of us underestimates the challenges ahead. that history ition and when nations come together in common cause there is always rooms, i hope, working side by side. we have the amenities to show the most in surmountable

problems and triumph over the great use of adversity. for more than 70 years, i have been lucky to me and to know many of the world's great leaders. and i have perhaps come to understand a little about what made them special united kingdom and around the world. people have risen magnificently to the challenges of the and i'm so proud and moved by this class in domain to most spirit, to young people in particular. i say thank you for the part you have played me on queen elizabeth the 2nd was the leader of the british commonwealth, bringing together more than 50 countries. but the sense of support has been called into question in recent years, particularly in africa. without the correspondence policy or explains well,

if i can provide you the perspective here from africa, of course, for many, the queen is a symbol of the greatness of the u. k. but she's also a symbol of its demise. you have many countries in the world, particularly countries here in africa that gained independence from the crown during her reign. and mrs. despite her attempts through the commonwealth to re establish the empire, the queen never acknowledged any wrong doings. on behalf of the royal family or on behalf of the u. k. in terms of its colonial history and its colonial policies here in africa. so for example, if you take south africa we, i am. if you had to ask the average person in the street, what they think of the british royal family, many of them associated with south africa's colonial past and their colonial past, obviously paved the way for the implementation of parties. i must mention at the same time though, that the queen was friends with the iconic freedom lead and nelson mandela. and she

was seen as part of the soft power that put pressure on the apartheid government and bought about its demise. having said that, though the queen paid little attention to africa, she seldom mention to africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on the ground here, amongst many africans, she was becoming irrelevant. here. we know about chinese prison and gigi and ping, or russian president vladimir prudent. not. the queen is also feeling on the ground that with the passing of the queen, the commonwealth itself might become irrelevant. so, with the queen now gone, you have issues of mia colonialism. issues of africa's poverty no longer receiving any more attention than they did when she was alive. so it's no wonder then,

many his skill that the u. k has lost africa, largely because again, many people here will tell you that the queen simply did not care about this continent. i was just thinking about the star of africa. i mean, it was the common diamond that was found in south africa basically and was given, was named after the man who owned the mine. he was given basically to the royal family on the things with about $400000000.00. and it's right there crown and building calls for it to be returned to africa in terms reparations. i mean, i, you know, it's a very difficult one. when you think about how many countries we're talking about and how many people were talking about reparation. everything from slavery to colonialism. i still don't saying england's origination anymore that they can actually afford to come up with reparation. in the cynics say, the commonwealth is the british empire on the cheap, which i suppose if you look at it and you can,

it's difficult to go argue with that. but then again, having said that, despite breaks it, which i don't think is done, the nation any good at all. and what i think is that there will be attempts to keep the commonwealth together. i'm anything, any form of brotherhood of nations is a good thing. no matter who you are, which country you are, cher shortsightedness is the you reportedly prepared decide if a visa facilitation deal with moscow will be suspended. we're supposed to memory as a carver blasted. those trying to been toys fuses for russians looking to enter several baltic states as well as poland. i told the chick lunch dokey duty. we recall that freedom of movement is guaranteed by a number of international legal documents. we require confirmation that for our citizens and the international community, these documents are now dad for the body conscious of estonia, lack fair lithuania along with poland. and it's now clear to everyone that the

basis of e, u. v. 's acceptance is a statement divorced from reality, according to which visiting e u. countries, as they say, is some kind of privilege that must be earned for loyalty in support for each policy. many people ask, are these snoo divine alliance, a barrier or an iron curtain? of course not. this is an example of stupidity short sightedness and a lack of connection with his standards of civilization that are so much talked about in the west. with the full countries all preparing to introduce abandon russians entering the church on september the 19th. thus, while the european council is to decide to day friday, if it's visa facilitation, do with moscow will be suspended. now that would leave many russian forest look into troubles. the e, you facing a more expensive and difficult application process also contributes a rich amazon hummel. remember that line from george orwell. dystopian novel animal farm, that all animals are created equal,

but some animals are more equal than others. while the european union seems to have ripped a page from orwell, with its new visa policy for russian citizens, which has just been officially published. so under the new rules, russians will have to pay more for a visa to visit e. u. 80 euro's instead of 35 processing could take up to 45 days as opposed to the current 10 to 15. and multiple entry visas will be tougher to get. the e has also said that it could ask for more documents from applicants. the question is, what kind of added information could they request? and this is where they risk betraying their own stated principles. because apparently the e considers that some russians are indeed more equal than others. but who exactly the e u will remain open to certain categories of russian visa applicants traveling for essential purposes, including notably family members of you, you citizens, journalists, dissidence and civil society representatives. so in other words, there's

a political litmus test for you entry russian dissidence and civil society representatives who denounced their homeland and adhere to the you and western agenda will get a green light. it's not hard to imagine. that's what the e e was referring to when referencing the extra information that they could request from visa applicants. but the you itself denounces discrimination on the basis of quote, political or any other opinion. it's right there in black and white on the commission on website. any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, color, ethnic, or social origin, genetic features, language, religion, or belief, political or any other opinion. membership of a national minority property, birth disability age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited. discrimination on the basis of birth is also a no, no for the you, but that hasn't stopped baltic, you member states, lithuania, latvia, and estonia from unilaterally. planning

a total russian visitor ban at land border crossings for later this month. and on september, 1st, finland, cat, the number of visas issued to russians by 90 per cent. all this means that russian visitors to the e u who enter through land crossings in these neighboring states. because we call that direct flights between the you and russia have been suspended, are being singled out. these member states are violating the e principle, not to discriminate against people based on birth. and brussels. well, really doesn't seem to mind. apparently, when it comes to russia, anything goes for the you, as long as the end justifies the means. and finally, a major publisher that's owns politico and business insider has called for a been on the chinese owned social media platform to talk sites in the need to secure the privacy of its uses. tick tock should be banned in every democracy. we

have at the moment a naive tale with dealing with china. we hand over personal data to the chinese government. it is of course, a tool of espionage. usually words like democracy and ban don't walk hand in hand. democracy is about the free exchange of ideas, a market place of interpretation, where the people get to make up their own decision, but not when countries like china come into the picture. it's similar to how r t has been banned across europe for daring to challenge the nato interpretation of events and ukraine. either follow the globalist line or you must be silence. that's the way a lot of western voices are talking these days. notice that no one's calling for a ban on instagram or facebook or google despite their well known relationship with the u. s. government and it's intelligence apparatus. do you remember the cambridge analytic a scandal? 87000000 facebook users had their personal data turned over to

a private firm that used it for political purposes. outrage and lawsuits ensued on average, how many data points to space book? how about each facebook user? i do not know off the top my head, so the average for non facebook platforms is 1500. it's been reported that facebook has as many as 29000 data points for an average facebook user. facebook doesn't just know who you are. it also knows where you are. if you have location tracking turned on, facebook collects an enormous amount of location data about where you're going, where you came from, where you live, where you work, you, in many, many talents of this story. are the original bad guy or the guy who took the data from facebook and sold it to cambridge analytic guy, the political firm in a word. was it wrong to do that where you wrong at the time where the thing we're doing anything wrong that was just a normal. busy business as usual practice, i think right now. absolutely. it's viewed as wrong now that we know how people feel about it,

she spook has disclosed that 3rd parties can access to what you may have thought was private information. studies show that social media outlets are constantly tracking here and collecting your info. instagram was found to be the most invasive of the apps with 70 percent of your personal data collected and stored. whistleblowers, like edward snowden have told us over and over about how u. s. security agencies are in need, deep, and americans, private information. the facts are there. if you care to hear them drop out chip is essentially an application that the an essay can push to your phone either through . i'm tricking you to download software, essentially via one of those mechanisms. they send software to your phone that essentially takes over your phone and allows in essay to send commands to it that collect your data that monitor your s m s, the turn on the microphone. the camera, et cetera. donald trump tried to get tick tock band for alleged chinese ties,

and he failed to do so. so now this wealthy german dob for says it's time to get this censorship process going again. he owns a business insider and politico among other publications. so his opinion matters. i guess it's not enough that alternative voices are being banned from many platforms . now this, censorship has got to extend to making sure that alternative platforms cannot compete. they say it's in our national interest and that free speech has to stop somewhere. well, many americans are looking at the rising costs of gas and food struggling to pay their bills and asking themselves, who is all this censorship really serving? caleb mopping artsy, new york follower via joining us from. thank you very much for watching. that's all for now. i'll be back again in 30 minutes. do stay tuned for cross dog without season. peace lavelle coming up next.

ah, ah ah ah me today i'm authorizing the additional strong sanction foreign companies quitting russia, design to one. thank you. las glycine. so atm cause will blantan banks disconnected

from the international payments system, the social move hoppey, jermel, donna and euro. the exchange rates followed minneapolis sellable up by nickel. the more so show carson would know what the committee met, that he woke up the pilgrim. this then is the current. can you say little? sure, she, i'm a jail a couple of months volume and russian business overcome this song. see, near rob bought it to the nazi to huddle. she is tremendously, just me. don't pros voice bullshit. nash, a productive notches, steel nash, amenable. what i see that but themselves when you come, when you with a go to you got annual in your mind for the student out, but i, she's appraisal. i need to look at no cost to difficult when you, when you're speaking with dr. numbness, listen. glueck is a solution for her delusion with the food of with the machine for a clue. we raise

a corn and soybeans here. so some issues that are different this year than in years past is that with all the things going on the world today, our input costs have almost doubled in. it's going to be really hard for everybody to keep going. and john will make a solemn world our current or late president is blaming russia for that. he or gas company is, are going to get blamed for the problem, but they are not a problem. so by really chance blame for causing the problem because he himself caused the problem or in but the price is already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen. what we need to do, i need to what united states needs to do is start girl. and we can drill for oil,

and for some reason our government thinks that we shouldn't be using our own oil, which is crazy. mm. a with hello and welcome to cross top. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. as winter draws near in temperatures, drop europe finds itself to be very vulnerable. rejection a brushing energy is not only slowing europe's economy, but also bringing on a recession. what's europe's economic woes herself inflicted? is europe attempting?

suicide? ah! cross sucking europe in crisis and joined by my guests. michael hudson in new york . he's a professor of economics at the university, missouri, kansas city, as well as author of forgive them their debts in paris. we have his own brick mall . he is a political commentator and in london we cross and real consulting. he's is founder of aka consulting and a foreign affairs analyst, or a gentleman, cross sack rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate, let's go to michael 1st in new york, i'm titling this program attempted suicide given what's going on the last 6 months in europe in the western world in general. do you send an appropriate title for what's going on? well, i'm not sure that they are realizing that it's suicide and it's more so they're following a u. s. policy, which is the u. s. wants to kill europe, but really think it over the americans are the great beneficiaries of this,
