i didn't know so much as i going to plug that i got the system a what i see the student both whose though group q motivation says do you do gumbo sub ah, beyond us is no man's land off of that ukrainian positions. he takes a closer look at ukraine's counter offensive a time to the heart of san region. that's key of troops or quarterly, suffolk, huge losses while failing to make any strategic game. as washington sends another multi $1000000000.00 military aid package to ukraine, the un sounds the alarm and how these weapons are being used and what it coals quote, tremendous devastation. no more advertising meet. one dutch city

wants to bind it to fight climate change. a lot of the very same time abandoning other green initiatives with it is now just after 4 pm on saturday here in the russian capital. this is alta international. it's a great to happy with us today. so we do start now with a very, i guess from that of the ukraine conflict, where 3 civilians have been reported, killed in full wounded and shedding by kias forces on the city of done yet. it was early this saturday morning and we can show you a video reportedly capturing the moment of the strike. it was recorded by a surveillance camera exposure caused the fire in a nearby market close to the city's main railway station. i should warn you, you may find some of the following images disturbing the following footage. for example, seemingly showing the off them off of the strike and the market has been severely damaged shops having erupt it in flames. following the attack from

a firefighter that managed to distinguish the blades as and have, as we understand, been clearing away all the deborah. meanwhile, near the northern part of the front lines, the russian army has been anything, military, hardware, and personnel to our article f region. where intense baffles are ongoing with ukranian troops engaged in an attempt to counter offensive local authorities here forces have suffered heavy losses trying to break through the roughest defense or taking a bit of a closer look at the situation in the holocaust region. i will look at this map, as we understand fighting really is escalating this time on the outskirts of the city of ballad player. while the city of a young skis being defended by russian forces amid fierce classes. now. meanwhile, moscow says that ukrainian attacks in the southern nikolai of, and hurt us on regents have also been repelled. so it's all corresponded on the ground. i will talk to you guys be if he's looking into ukraine's counter offensive, but this is shev saud region. outside the village of alexandra of co

depleted and todd ukrainian troops again ordered to attack much like with previous attempts. here it is futile. russian rockets and artillery were forewarned and waiting. these drone footage was provided to us by russian soldiers. they monitor at the me activity around the clock and cooling fire. when the opportunity arises, during a lull and the shelling, we drove as close to ground 0 as we were allowed because of the situation, it is at this time incredibly difficult from a security perspective to film anything, anything we found could give, give away troops, positions defensive positions ah, what troops stationed where with, with what weapons? taking that into consideration, our options are very limited,

but this is the frontline. beyond us. beyond us is no man's land after that ukrainian positions. we have learned that the offensive here is about to resume the counter offensive launched by ukrainian troops here and here. southern region, which has so far, been incredibly unsuccessful in all over the past week and a half ukrainian forces have taken over about half a dozen small villages and settlements. ukraine's exact losses are secret, but they are said to be formidable amusement from what i know at least $400.00 wounded. the greenest soldiers have been delivered to the hospital of the ministry of internal affairs in nic live. in total, the cities, hospitals took more than 2000 wounded ukrainians, and here's no space left in the morgues and the, this is justin,

nikolai of the dead and wounded are being driven to hospitals and morgues across ukraine. the offensive here has stalled. nothing of strategic value was achieved. it's back to an artillery. slog good. jerry gosh, stay. we filmed the evacuation ebony jet fighter of the didn't yet people's republic, as we filmed ukrainian mortar route slammed in just meters away. fortunately, causing no hob, far away from the front lines in nova co holtgrewe, the american supplied high mas rocket impacted an apartment block, killing 6 civilians. this has become the norm here, and it has only gotten worse,

which is what many locals feared. spiteful strikes, launched by key, have to avenge it so far, failed count her offensive, or ad gasdio, r t from kennesaw region. or meantime the u. s. has an out 2 more military, 8 packages for ukraine and his neighbors is worth billions of dollars. as i said, the u. s. secretary of state or anthony blanket, made an unannounced visit to kia on thursday that the near new american a package and also includes assistance for several e. u countries including poland, lithuania, romania, which up lincoln esteemed quote, at risk of future russian aggression. that brings a total amount of money. washington is given to ukraine since the start of the conflict to over $14000000000.00. when, while germany plays to send extra weapons to kia and sponsor the training of ukrainian soldiers. as western met at the u. s. air force base in ramsey,

and of course, back in germany. now that's the united nations, as the international community, to be more transparent about the flow of weapons being sent to ukraine. solomon feared the military hardware, it could well be going into the wrong hands in early june, interposed chief or so voice as concerns over the destination of the weapons sent to ukraine. he warned, at once the conflict ens criminal groups will try to exploit the availability of weapons. he says, a wave of arms will flood into illegal global weapons networks and end up in the hands of criminals. when asked about the flow of weapons and why ukrainian forces are still complaining about a lack of supplies of us secretary of state, apparently a well didn't really have an answer to the issue before blinking left ukraine. i asked him what accounts for the disconnect between near constant us shipments of weapons to ukraine and ukrainian soldiers on the front lines saying

they lack the munitions they need. here's what he said. and i read some of your very, very good. all the russians are in many of these instances throwing everything they do for any and soldiers and civilians, and they're doing it indiscriminately. and if you're on the receiving end of that, it's gotta be incredibly earlier in the program. we did hear from over tied us air force, lieutenant colonel, karen quit kowalski. she says the flow of weapons essentially serves the welfare program for the u. s. military industrial complex. most of the weapons. and the that's being provided is really pretty mundane. it's not top of the line stuff, a lot of the stuff is right out of inventory. and it is really, this is gifting of our inventory to ukraine. and other countries is very much a domestic management tool for the military industrial complex which needs to buy more stuff all the time. and this provides an opportunity for defense companies,

particularly the major ones. it really are the establishment events in this country to make money, to, to win contracts, to put forth new ideas or new weapons and that kind of thing. so we have to understand part of it as a domestic welfare white collar welfare program back in the united states as your conflict. that's a big part of it to get the kind of transparency that would, that would, we should all expect in something like this. pressure would have to be put on the korean government. certainly it's, it's political leadership and it's military leadership. we're not putting any pressure on their government. their government in all can do no wrong. and any criticism of their government is seen is unpatriotic and an american. on this in and we're just not going to do it. there's not, i think, very few congressmen standing offers,

no senators are standing up to condemn this wall. questions have arisen about how much western weaponry is going to ukraine and where it ends up happening reports. a lot of reports of a key of forces using explosives and about a residential areas near civilian infrastructure. that's a 100 over now to our correspondent, the region is a robot cost ref miss. the operation began on the 26th of august when the next militias, recognizance split, soon intercepted and liquidated a ukrainian special forces units near girl of cup. among the members of this subversive group was a high ranking ukrainian nationalist. richest love, much live deputy recognizance commander of the 5th regiment of the presidential furs brigade. the footage from his own body camera and other evidence pointed to the fact that ukraine is sending another subversive group to the area where mister

boy, 3 corpses of ukrainian troops were found at the site of the battle. one of them had an explosive compound equivalent in power to 5 kilograms of t and t, according to the intelligence services of that. and that's the people's republic. her people, so militia here, a don't boss, have completed a 2 week operation and destroyed to 2 groups of us. special forces of ukraine. how are planning terrorist acts on the territory of the nest people's republic? right now, i will speak to the commander, offer local reconnaissance unit who have been active in liquidating this group and say he will show me what these special forces of ukraine have been caught with. dunlab or admit of such devices are used for conducting demolitions blowing up bridges, vehicles and even people. i think the item was found in the backpack of the ukrainian soldier identified as mat van. we can assume that civilians probably

would have suffered from this. as there were residential areas in infrastructure within the vicinity, a simple internet sir search will show you that these kinds of plastic explosive devices are usually used by civil engineers. and they're not used in what was the goal of that ukrainian group. it's hard to tell right now because they have all been liquidated according to local authorities. but all these things that they show to the will to specialists. they were trying to create their versions. and possibly, terrorist acts that could have resulted in the death of many, many people remark offer have already done that the people's republic. ah, so as the west does continue trying to push other countries into its coalition

against russia. and some oil importing nations are considering the g 7 plan to impose a price cap on russian supplies of the commodity of the measure is supposed to produce the kremlin revenues and thus its ability to continue it's offensive in ukraine. we're going to put in place to price cap by december 1st, which is the date. the european 6 package goes into effect and only put in place by united states, but also bar g 7 allies. but according to some critics, the west is putting the cart before the horse and the reality is the chances of a g 7 price cap on russian oil actually being effective are slim to none. and best summed up by a to eat my friends and i have agreed to impose a price cap on our local puffs beer minds. we actually do not plan to drink any beer there. the puffs owner says he won't so dear to anyone observing the cap. so other patrons who drink a lot, they are say they are enjoying the cup success. russia has explicitly stated not

once but twice just in the past week that it will not so oil to countries which support such a price cap. shoot me. sure. personally, we will not supply anything at all if it is contrary to our interests. in this case, economic interest, you know, gas or oil, he'll call no fuel enough. and contrary to what some in the west may believe russia seems to have a choice. because for price caps to actually work the g 7 would need significant global support. especially given that over 2 thirds of the world's countries have refused to condemn russia's military operation in ukraine. or impose any sanctions on moscow. and despite the u. s. optimism on getting china and india on board. they remain 2 of russia's biggest clients, while china and indonesia have already vetoed the idea. in february, the west swiftly shifted its focus from 10 years of sanctioning aidan to russia,

targeting it with so many sanctions that it became the most ancient country and just 10 days, according to the u. s. these sanctions would undoubtedly bring the russian economy to its knees, at least that's what joe biden thought would happen back in march. as a result of these, unprecedented sanction rubel almost immediately reduced to rubble. well, not quite because a rubel went on to become the world's top performing currency this year, flying in the face of the supposedly crippling sanctions. and while russian food prices have recently gone down, the fall out from the sanctions has hurt the west and developing nations with a significant increase in food prices there. and let's not forget that as vladimir putin also predicted energy costs are skyrocketing, creating devastating conditions and hurting much of the world's consumers. since suddenly, again, you cheney with machinery sanctions on russia, cars much more damage to those countries that impose them. the further use of

sanctions may lead to even more severe and without exaggeration, even catastrophic consequences to the global energy markets. with the cost of fuel and energy in europe now, so high due to sanctions and a green agenda. many people are forced to stock up on firewood. according to bloomberg. a survey shows that 6 and 10 you came. manufacturers are in danger of going out of business because they cannot afford the soaring energy bills. even mainstream media outlets have begun admitting their surprise that the russian economy has held up with british tabloid. the sun showing that food prices in russia are lower than those in the u. k. while the energy costs and britain have increased by 80 percent, the situation is already boiling over in some countries as mass protests against nato have erupted in europe, was citizens blaming their government actions for the economic fallout. in the czech republic, somebody 1000 demonstrators gathered and free to protest storing energy costs and

to demanded and to sanctions against russia. they just not the free lunch sanctions will back lush sanctions have a cost. the price of these sanctions is not chest imposed upon russia. is imposed upon off lot of countries as well, including european countries in our country as well on it. so we steal, all kinds of sanctions, are indeed directed against half a 1000000 citizens who you and against millions of citizens of the rest of europe. me known him so well will west ever learn from its own past actions and from leaders like by the mere putin blatantly telling them that russia's warnings are not to be taken lightly or will they be yet another example of the definition of insanity and continue doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results. yeah, a lot of analysis of, you know, put into this idea right here that ultimately those who have been putting out the sanctions at the end of the day, it just sanctioning them selves. it is a full on boomerang effect. we spoke to a u. s. political analyst of john couple,

if you says the west, our current energy policy is only hitting its own economies. united states, european union, nato countries, and others. they want to avoid, or they want to give as much time as possible between saying what they're going to do and implementing what they're going to do because they're hoping that domestic politics, meaning citizens in the countries that are most affected, will have a chance to, to settle down a bit and they are praying to the weather, gods that the winter will be mine. but you have right now is a, a political and commercial version of water boarding. and it's a matter of how much pain everyone is willing to accept to achieve their stated goal. 40 percent of the world's population is governed by governments that don't want to participate. the, the, the biggest problem is secondary sanctions,

particularly united states where we use, you know, we're going to sanction a country if you wrote, abide by the sanctions. we're going to sanction you ah, a presenter on the us news outlet m s m b c raised more than a few eyebrows this week of the claiming the media should not present opposing sides when it comes to major issues. there are 2 words we need to move from our media of a cavity right now, and that is both sides. this fundamental crunch this reliance on both sides is it kind of lazy, way of covering political is deeply dangerous. there are a bunch of major issues in which there are not both sides, both sides. hm. climate change. there are not both sides on white supremacy. there are not both sides on democracy, but they're not both sides on the holocaust. well, i know everyone agrees with that cold for just one sided coverage or has a quick sample of some of the reactions that hit the platforms on social media. while there's no risk of hearing both sides on m. s n, b,

c. so he should feel right at home. i bet there are 2 sides to every single story ever. but authoritarians love to censor speech, especially when their views are trash and censoring the other side is the only way to get people to accept them. being honest and fair is only deeply dangerous to those who are dishonest and corrupt. the moments journalists become bible, they have stopped working for the people. yeah, so we are raised this issue is, is it important to cover both sides of the story? was it just okay to just deliver one site data and then day out? well, we post a question to legal media analyst, his lionel. when you look at media, i, when you look at a lot of these various platforms that take out the most, quote outrageous things that were said, they save us the time and the waste of time that we would have to go through in watching this dreck in the 1st place, so what,

what it is is it's one insane thing after another the idea that you would have a television show or any type of journalistic platform designed to get to the truth or what is believed to be the truth. and you cut off the other side or the other, somebody who's maybe explaining your error. and then you say, this is good journalism because there are no 2 size. i will make 11 bit of a, an exception. sometimes if i think if we were talking about, let's say, a scrawny or a new planet or a black hole or something astrophysics related. and the other side presented was, let's say, an astrologer. that might be the other side. i don't particularly care for. but in international conflicts. no, no, this is absurd. ah, well, that's good to have you with us for the program to write here on r t. so if local officials have their way the residence of

a dutch studio harlem will soon no longer be able to see any adverts for meat in most public places, but adopting an eco or gender on that issue still hasn't stopped the government of the netherlands from lifting a cap on coal power energy production. let's get some opinion now. his aunty contributor rachel maston. in the interests of fighting climate change, the dutch city of harlem, has voted to ban all meat advertising beginning in 2024. i'm surprisingly, this is music to the ears of green activists who want to dictate how everyone lives their daily lives. whilst any environmental benefits cannot be expected immediately from an advertising man, it sends out a clear message to the food industry that harlem wants the industry to invest in more climate friendly food. we also hope that other cities in the netherlands will follow the example of harlem and introduce similar ban. what exactly is quote,

climate friendly food, please tell me that it's not a euphemism for eating bugs because that's being pushed pretty hard in the western mainstream media. but if benefits, quote can't be expected immediately for this policy and it's mainly just symbolic virtue signaling. then why bother at all with it, particularly in the netherlands, which is europe's biggest ne provider, and we're an estimated 95 percent of citizens eat meat. why not just leave people alone to live their lives and eat their stake while the greenies can eat all the bugs that they want to? if that's what they seriously think is going to control the temperature of the entire planet. the fact that they even think that shows what kind of control freaks they really are. as you might imagine, some dutch folks are pretty upset. the authorities are going too far in telling people what's best for them. banning commercials from politically born motives is almost dick tutorial. it's an unacceptable violation of entrepreneurial freedom.

the netherlands isn't the 1st place to try to cater to the greenies and fail of he can restaurant in britain called the mango tree, had to start serving meet just to keep afloat. some of its ideologically rigid customers, said that serving meet would be worse than having to close. clearly they aren't the ones having to pay the bills. the operators of an award winning cafe called the kitchen at london house on the isle of wight were so fed up with being bullied by v customers for not offering enough choices for their v in needs. that the operators ditched plant based fair altogether. you see if you give green militants an inch, they'll soon want a mile. dutch farmers spent the summer protesting against top down european rules that could result in farm closures over excessive cadel emissions. ah.

in this week, the agriculture minister in the netherlands resigned after just 9 months on the job saying that, well, he just wasn't the right guy for the task. but what's with dutch public officials peddling all this green extremism. when the dutch government itself has just revived pull power plants in response to ease sanctions on its own energy supply, the cabinet has decided to immediately withdrawal the restriction on production for coal fired power stations from 2002 to 2024. our country had prepared this decision with our european colleagues over the past few days. talk about the height of hypocrisy. this energy minister is the same guy who brag on twitter in 2019 of heading quote, to walk towards an era with less coal and more solar and wind energy, all while posing in front of a cold plant whose closure he was celebrating. and now they're firing it all back up again. these greens just love to tell people how to live with their insufferable

and pre she behavior and policies. but they're emotionally driven policies are clearly not successful. and they're certainly not consistent ones. and why should anyone be obligated to give up a long standing family farm or their way of life in order to cater to someone else's whim? well, this could have you with us here on the program. one arts, he just in brief, some of the global headlines for you all around the world. now the students in the south american nation chalet have been taken to the streets of the capital, demanding than improvements to the educational system in trying to in that of the constitution protested in taking place for at least 4 days. so occasionally descending in the gardens with his coaches right here. we've got some of the crowd control methods out there. and also that as we understand some of the demonstrators, we're loving molotov cocktails, day or elsewhere on the continent of brazil is reported concerning 12 percent rise

in wild fires and thought of the amazonian rain forest. environmentalists of blame . deforestation is a major cause of the places they also said the government has not done enough to combat illegal destruction of the amazon all the way to china now, which has been taken off celebration 1st middleton that festival. it's a, it's a luna, calendar, holiday observed. all across easton, asia, the facilities include moon gazing, lantern displays, and while the big tv networks have been putting out lots of concepts to mark the occasion, i pretty good pictures right there. you can see more of that on our r t dot com, but also across a spectrum of social media platforms gab, odyssey. telegram we'll see you there. sometimes a

ah ah ah

ah craig hall, never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as a mom on made, it comes to last. you get done in cowboys. america forces are and you're not in europe. engage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are harris, defend nato allies. nato escalates even more indiscretion. military operations become a war when with dell sip says that rules that demonstrate that notion is my idea that i c b a u a to us conflicting costliest. because what i'm here with, so i use plea, he shouldn't, he can you stop for me to a physical he needs almost there with unless you,

unless the only distort finished entering a sewer near us. he cooked the cold ha february 2007, that amy of hooton's munich speech is a milestone in contemporary history. many consider his famous address of the security conference to be a turning point in relations between moscow and the west. with president putin spoke about major geopolitical issues in no uncertain terms. we harshly criticized the unipolar world model, u. s. foreign policy and unjustified use of force against other states that says not to go to shooting it. mimi, it nichol. what national wondering you that say? so my only answer elac of is between your bizarre bus. mr. are you little now about with at the shit you know what i, what little issue? fucked up. he is a shooting zane that would then you do you want us? yes, but even you are what i what i could, i am those prices quote you go what it.
