[000:00:00;00] a double play. you have a good on a correspondent is almost hit by ukrainian military shelling. but russia says he has a counter offensive are little more than a ploy. drama, more weapon support in the west. in south africa, host, the world's 2nd largest mining exhibition and bringing cutting edge technology to thousands of investors with queen elizabeth the 2nd. the u. k. longest ruling, monica dies,

age 9670 year range and britain's colonial era to diminish roll it now has on the with also coming up a major european publisher has called for a band on chinese owned social media platform. thought of using it of collecting personal dates with from las go to the world. this is out the international. my name is peter scott. and these the top stories this hour an insane counter offensive. that's how the russian envoy to the un describes ukraine's latest offensive. adding, it's little more than a desperate effort to get more weapons support from the west, but still it not been just says that you can do it, however, we take several villages, but there has been no such breakthrough ortiz broadcast, different reports from the from line. put off a short lull, the ukrainian counter offensive,

so called counter offensive began here in kennesaw 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 control 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 carol southern region . we saw, of course, the were the world, saw the videos of hundreds upon hundreds of ukrainian ambulances ferrying soldiers injured in this offensive away from the front lives, the hospitals, and nikolai and cleveland. rogue 2 cities. are you creating controlled cities near by? but this same offensive has now been repeated up north in kirk of region, where they took over the town of vala, clear

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 huge as a huge victory. they are claiming that their counter offensive is working despite all the evidence to the country. and that is the extra ordinary losses in material losses in tags and armored personnel carriers vehicles which now lita 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 grey zone and no man's land between russian lines and ukrainian lines. and they are, they are throwing everything they have into the fight. that is artillery attacks from suicide, drones, everything that the,

the west supplied to ukraine is now being thrown into the grind along 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 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 low of waiting to get out of bed. the russian 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 in north america, holtgrewe. yesterday a 5 story apartment block was devastated. 6 people. a sick civilians killed whether ukrainian la rocket like that near the roof. it took down every floor, all the way to the ground floor, but again,

this continues here and your son have re day. every few hours we hear anti air defense is far and away at more ukrainian launches in the fields, closer to the fraud, live valley 20 kilometers from here. we also hear that ukrainian counter this counter offensive these, these troop charge is a ceaseless that they haven't stopped that again, that ukrainian forces of suffering tremendous casualties along the periphery of the front bloods and staying with ukraine and italian reporter has been wounded by a ukrainian mind while covering his movements in the south of the country, russian soldiers came to his 8. this footage you're seeing now. so is the damage vehicle that had been carrying the journalist to the contact line. he was abandoned by ukrainian soldiers who'd been accompanying him and his driver died on the spot that's according to russian or authorities. here are 1st on accounts from those at the scene

with me we were in position when we heard an explosion. we reached the car and realized it was a foreigner who did not speak russian. well, we understood that he was of military journalist, monsieur, from italy, from milan. we gave him 1st aid as he had multiple shrapnel wounds. he was then given something to come to 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. the journalist is now receiving medical treatments and his life is understood to be out of danger. in the news, the biggest african exhibition of mining equipment comes to

a close today. friday in south africa after 4 days is being billed as the confidence leading exhibition in the field. elektra, mining africa, has a 50 year long history. and it's 2018 expos saw 30000 people visit the exhibition present cutting edge technologies in mining, electrical and automation fields. attracting investors from all over the world are t correspondence. career. both left sadler brings us more details for 50 years. electro mining africa has been the cornerstone exhibition for businesses and professionals in the mining electrical automation manufacturing, power, and transportation industries. from all over the continent. but following a to yeah, i 8 is due to the coven. 19 pandemic is my annual event is back with a bay the vest. the wag group is a brazilian company extending 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. patterns, 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 overall country because we're lowering their losses on, on the grid. energy shortages and power cuts in south africa have curtailed growth across economic landscape. for years, mining has been the bedrock of south africa db p. but some investors say it's not all doom and gloom some enough that he really dog summary. somebody in the us, he's still getting off the money industry. is it still grew you until now?

now thought because of corona, the you for a so slowly go away. so i think a loss holds our governments. we be, how was there's a plan rebuild to 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, server thing of their own railway infrastructure is a non negotiable conditions. underground months have many, many kilometers a rail and the ground at require maintenance due to corrosion of tricks and, and upkeep of the tracks. and this product allows the ro maintenance crews to come cut out sections, replace them with sections, or in cases where the cages that go under ground 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 perfect tolerances for fall, the connections they impact of the global pandemic. and the economic decline that

was already visible in the south african economy prior to cov 19, have all shown as what light on the effectiveness of the partnerships that south africa has. and more and more company from the developing world continued to think and find opportunities in each other's economy. and the sentiment here and electra 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 his work for r t international. in other news, queen elizabeth the 2nd has passed away at the british were from his residence in scotland after recurring health problems. she was 96 years old. dozens of people gathered near london's buckingham palace as news of her death spread throughout the country. and the british flag was lowered on old government buildings across the u . k. earlier this year,

the queen celebrated her putnam jubilee mocking 70 years on the throne. her oldest son has now become king king charles the 3rd. let's take a quick look at the legacy of queen elizabeth the 2nd britton's longest bowling monic. my margaret. i feel too much for you to share danger and renew every one. in the end, all will be well ah, she became a mechanic and a driver. and she sat with normal other girl recruits in classrooms and learned how to take the trucks to cab before my eyes, whether it be known or shall be debated. you entered the carol family,

which when i was trying to my train i oh i, i had the 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. but history ition between nations come together in common cause. there is always room for working

side by side. we have the amenities to show the most in some audible problems and to triumph over the greatness of adversities. for more than 70 years, i have been lucky to meet and to know many of the world's great leaders. and i have perhaps come to understand a little about what made them special, the 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 queen elizabeth, the 2nd was the leader of the british commonwealth, bringing together more than 50 countries. but the census support has been called into question in recent years, particularly in africa without the correspondence policy or explains what 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 is 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 where 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 that colonial past obviously paved the way for the implementation of a 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 brought about its demise. having said that though, the queen paid little attention to africa. she seldom mentioned africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this a sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on the ground here, amongst many africans shoes, becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese president, jim ping were russian president vladimir putin, 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 mere 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

here feel 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 start of africa. i mean, it was the common diamond that was found in south africa basically and was given was named after the manual in the mind. it was given basically to the wrong family on the things we have about $400000000.00 in right back crown building calls for it to be returned to africa in terms of reparations. i mean, i was a very difficult one when you think about how many countries were talking about and how many people were talking about reparation. beverly 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. i argue with that, but then again, having said that, despite breaks it, which i don't think is domination legal 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 to decide if a visa facilitation deal with moscow with suspended. russian spoke formerly as a carver bluster to those times abandoned tourist visas for russians. looking to enter several baltic states and poland, i told that you can actually 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 dead for the ball. the contrast of historian left at least 20, along with paul. and it's now clear to everyone that the basis of these exceptions

is a statement divorced from reality. according to which be the thing e u countries, as they say is some kind of privilege they must be earned for loyalty in support for the policy. of the 4 countries are preparing to introduce a band on russians entering the church on september 19th. as while the european council is to decide today, if it be the facilitation deal with moscow will be suspended. now that would leave many russian tourists look into trouble for the you facing a more expensive and difficult application process of the contributed to martin has more. remember that lines, i'm george or wells 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 a 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 of a major publisher that's owens politico and business insider has cold for a been on chinese own social media platform. 6 oak sites in the needs secure the privacy of his uses. tick tock should be banned in every democracy. we have at the moment, and now you've talked 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 interpretations 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 in 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 facebook? 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. the facebook

has as many as 29000 of data points for an average facebook user. 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? ah, at the time where the thing we're doing anything wrong that was just a normal business as usual practice. i think right now absolutely are viewed as wrong. now that we know how people feel about it, she spook has disclosed a 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 am 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 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 martin, r t new york for those are the main stories this are, do you feel free to head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more on any of the stories you've just seen on his peter scotts, thank you for watching ah

ah ah, as winter draws near in temperatures, drop europe finds itself to be very vulnerable. rejection of brushing energy is not only slowing europe's economy, but also bringing on a recession. what's worse? europe's economic woes for self inflicted is europe attempting suicide? a. ringback ready because she's in there with. ringback

forced national guido, which is obviously you still with them when you do, i don't, but hold a moment to go with the copier. voided a voice, a

back in 2014. citing the military danger, the ukrainian authorities ordered the evacuation of old children who had lost their parents and don bass. this is denise from god or not. should you kimberly mccoy at on that the, you know, what if girl or boy's sicilian? you little militia to davina? detain nebraska. yeah. bag. newly another inca children's ombudsman. in the new guns people's republic is investigating cases of missing children. so she responded, okay, well i was in there is to him to shandra blanca. sure. i think he just left them is for pitching out. are you to look at our schooling or not? then just give them my ear, don't worry, don't put people on your little guns connected, and that is public. you ditty. dialing a family and my have a shell as well. glanced collateral net is poorly canton. i'm in school. bless, shut the ordinary. let them wash the way that a lot. shorts him,

you should give the liberty. shall you buy it through the gate? easiest? no, she wouldn't get a girl. now probably emma was much. gotcha. stella shouldn't break. indicating enough which actually i knew were 2022. so a repeat with children once again, being evacuated from territories controlled by cave. grain up with her. so political, no, did you thought of it? not since you got a dove here, or you'll nov. cartoon. believe it even up with control now. grading as bella gullies as school inter, nothing. if i said, you know, afterwards that you will get, it is a peculiar kid. he thought a little glass been level. that is probably what of them got. you got a look at about school bush noted claudia, vicky way we have the boys. she has us. as dick me, ear was more like premier in our colleges. the uncle had worked with children, hundreds of orphans from the da nets, people's republic were evacuated in the manella,

but it's anyone's guess how to find children who have essentially been abducted from dumbass. the most favorable outcome would be adoption. but there's a question mark on that. diagnosing molina, a friend. yes. as a corner north come towards the pressure. why nam did g was in i will. i am a senior. i bizarre to leon teaching yet your clip, but the more the organ never did keep it the teachers thought, diagnosed and earlier you have a lead set up. what you mean by me. anthony. ukraine ignores all international legislative norms and refuses to say anything about the fate of children. it is taken. when you go, are you looking for much? where did you put the muster in your the co? what's football under? do you keep oscar la, oregon children at transplant that's a hulu. jesse theater did teach
