they will be homeless for years to come of and then i'm going to my mom and we're asking the donors instead of been wanting to ukraine to find out the right instruction and gather because our situation is more difficult. there's a sense of the situation here is very difficult. we urge you to expedite the restoration to students that were the story of the gaza strip with from mosque out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins in here are the top stories at 6 am. we begin with the latest from the conflict and ukraine were russian authorities of the ball garad region have asked residents of to border villages to evacuate the homes, and these area are situated very close to the border with ukraine. this comes after one person has been killed and for others dead. after you crane shell,

to the russian border. boys where the gar, we do a lot of fighting gear rifles. meanwhile, a former american army and europe commander said the u. s. goal in this conflict should be quote g m, caroline's ation of russia. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says washington's plans to weaken russia and this conflict have been obvious from the beginning with ukraine being used as a means to this. and we've seen a transition where we're talking about a nato army. the army was fighting russia right now and ukraine is no longer a ukranian army. it's

a natal army. it just happens to be manned by ukrainian troops primarily. but these ukranian troops are supported by nato intelligence, by nato communications, by nato command, staffed by natal logistics. and there's reports that, you know, hundreds of thousands of former military specialists are contracted to the ukrainian military to do specialist tasks such as operator advise on the operation of advanced native artillery systems and things of that nature already. that's cross the boundary. but now what we see to is this international legion that has always been in the fight. it used to be sort of a joke, a bunch of former veterans, many with no combat experience in the trainings didn't want to use them. but the international region has been transformed and it now is manned by thousands of. busy very combat shabby international mercenaries, the u. s. frankly,

it doesn't care about ukraine. what it cares about is doing as much damage to russia as possible, and you're using the ukranian conflict to achieve that goal and objective. meanwhile, our correspondent in the dawn bass spoke with a captured ukrainian soldier who says he was fighting alongside foreign mercenaries who found the war time action shocking. here's our chief roman coast of with more on the story. according to open source reports of scores of nato instructors have descended on ukraine of the last 8 or so years in order to train ukrainian army to combat the nets and logans to people's armies. also, over this period of time, thousands of foreign mercenaries have joined various nationalists battalions of ukraine who have been active in war crimes against civilians in done nets and

elegans. now, some of those mercenaries have already been caught and convicted to death by local courts for their actions. so now some of them are still at large. some of them have deserted their positions. now, earlier i spoke with the one prisoner of war of the ukrainian or me here in dunn. ned's ah, the man's name is said zeniah or no pre ankle. he speaks english a really well. he spent some time in the united states. so he was very active in speaking to the self foreign mercenaries, so who were in his a battalion, this is his story. americans. these men were americans. if you can look closely, you can see the american flag patches on that chest. honestly speaking, in great measure, they influenced us only in raising morale. they lifted up a wine and spirits, but how effective they actually were. i cannot say much more. no,

some and even deserted positions. opposition was the hottest spot in the warm and if we did not include mario polio, we were in kyo, they said that they didn't need the soonest after that we never swollen again little. there was also a situation when as soon as these men arrived, we had to get up in the morning to do the shooting and gunfire. wish we sat there and they looked at us with open eyes filled with panic. but asking what was happening. it's a ne, realize this is a real warming and they had a machine gun and they broke it. they broke it so they could retreat on. was such a fiasco for us. they took such an expensive piece equipment all the time. they just took an axe and broke it in to them and they just retreated 50 meters and sat backwards to speak. honestly, nobody, and i'll come on, told us anything about any kind of foreign formations that were supposed to be with us a month or what they were going to do. the war officially, they said the reason for their present soldiers as many of them are actual soldiers who fought in war. and afghan masonic is that they are fighters of the democracy, shocked me. this british guy said that they came to protect democracy. they came to

share their experience with us. they came to create some kind of influence on roger . would you so to conclude, danielle, no priyanka was not so really impressed with those mercenaries who he had come across and to he wasn't impressed with their weapons or either as they were all seeking a soviet major kalashnikov rum on, call for a r t done. that's people's republic. different ministries of both azerbaijan and our menia have announced casualties among their military forces as a result of an exchange of fire on the border between the 2 countries. explosions from artillery and france rights were reported by armenians citizen. shortly after midnight on tuesday, armenia has blamed neighboring author by john for the attack and claims back who is targeting civilian infrastructure. azerbaijan hit back on the claim and says that the attacks are only targeting military infrastructure and come as

a retaliation after quote provocation from the armenian side. according to local reports, people have started to evacuate from several cities in the south of armenia. our local journalist in the area gives us this report on the latest escalation in the region. september, he does need a king jump on september 13th, just past midnight. units of the us, pres, jani armed forces, began intensive shalean of armenian positions, in gore assortment, and jermel from large caliber artillery. this is reported by the armenian ministry of defense, and there are several gianni army reports casualties on its sellers from the armenian side. but we also out at the moment, according to unofficial information, the showing has stopped. most of the security council of armenia has officially appealed to russia. the c s t o, which is the moscow lead defense block. and the un security council, in connection with the hostilities on the border on the contrary,

the other by johnny defense minister claims the initial attack was a response to a growing armenian military presence on the border. our local journalist from back, who has more as within other positions of us within our vs, were under intensive and systematic foyer, armenia. i have be concentrating, offensive weapons, heavy artillery and mum, polar. along the border was as it was awful, less mas, such actions taken by armenia aims, aim to us, old on the implementation of large scale infrastructure projects in boarder regence luncheon. i tell roger as well as to maintain the tension, the accuracy of tension, of the borderline as ukraine expects to receive another installment of financial aid from the european union in the amount of 5000000000 euros locals in gaza are suffering from a lagging reconstruction process. as many fear they will be homeless for years,

a local journalists, seneca log gives us more on the story. in early august, is that i enlarged a 30 day military campaign against everything. and it's the mc you had movement in gaza getting at least 50 if anything is including women and children, as well as when did i ask about the 360 other israeli army then carried out dozens of the air strikes. again, that has dental building military sites and civilian properties under the bed that they are belonging to the islamic. you had movement in the area. they are sick and most powerful armed, but athenians intercoastal. in clay, the total cost of the destruction may go up to a $130000000.00 barrels for the housing sector, and $800000000.00 to compensate to those evicted in the economic, industrial and agriculture. gather that mediately needs financial donor, 31 to like the damage you had said made that you and their barriers is that are in

the a wars there between 2008. and the 2014 a promise of assistance to the belt hummed androids. and support gather civilians have been boring and pause some time. however, the local residents of the car selling clave are afraid of bending more used before rebuilding their houses. as a very construction for profit, they're going get slowly and be gather amid not done or is absent gibbons, they get a bunch of how to lead a month ago. we were at home. these rally army called our neighbors at 11 am, and told them that they would bomb our house. we'll run away without taking anything with us. 5 minutes later, the house was boned with a reconnaissance me style. and then it was targeted by to me styles from an f 16 war plate, and i had almost the house was completely destroyed law and we became homeless the block, and we don't get funding. we won't be able to rebuild on the line. we can hardly afford our food, green and university questions about the fact that from the bottom of the targeting

the tower was 8 bombs. without any prior warnings led to great destruction and made all the house and capital with dozens of families. more than 50 children. more than 50 women and more than a 120 men were very apprehensive, especially since the situation in the gaza strip is very difficult. and there are many facilities that have been destroyed in previous wars that have not yet been reconstructed so far on on. it, but i'm to questions of the lake of internet, her interest in the data through a him in gaza, which are the same time seemed to be interested only in boring, more and more money a being through that green of on a lower than i am, i hope israel full responsible and women he'll to the donors to help us. i don't, but we are asking the donors and instead of paying the full money to ukraine, to finance the reconstruction and gaza. because our situation is more difficult than bayers. we have been under siege for men and years, alana peakley, and i'm addressing my message to the international and arab to noon. and we urge

you in the name of human rights and friendship with the palestinian people to expedite the restoration of this tower. and the rest of the facilities destroyed in the gaza strip to enable people to restore their lives as they were before the recent israeli aggression benefit indians. asking much, much income, better than with the amount of money given the give by the with. they only need to rebuild that houses and live in bees as well as the other communities around go. where do washington's fears that europe's energy crisis could split the compton as unified voice of vilifying russia. this as some u. s. officials say the e u shortage of energy sources may turn the block against the wars continuation and against providing the military a bit as jiggling the crisis. the u. s. as a major ex, border of liquefied natural gas, as it expects more income from its allies imposing sanctions against moscow. this, as germany has signed a 20 year contract with a major us gas supplier one,

a few options left for europe as it cuts ties with russia, r t correspondent, fear rela, isabel explains. washington's motivations behind the sanctions and their desire for the conflict to continue the economic fall out on europe from russian sanctions is clear, but the actions to their own detriment appear to be to the benefit of the u. s. so much so that some have claimed this is a controlled demolition of the european economy a least unconfirmed document by the rand corporation and american non profit global policy. think tank financed by the us government contains our report titled containment of germany for the united states and the world. detailing and a parent call to collapse the german economy. the only feasible way to guarantee germany's rejection of russian energy supplies is to involve both sides in the military conflict and ukraine. all further actions in this country will inevitably

lead to a military response from russia, even if the restriction of russian supplies is limited to 20. 22. its consequences will last for several years. not only will it deliver a devastating blow to the german economy, but the entire economy will inevitably collapse. in other words, the u. s. is provoking russia in order to force berlin to impose suicidal sanctions . the a proxy war. it's worth noting that back in february, before the conflict in ukraine began, biden said this when asked what would happen if russia took military action against here, there will be, there will be no longer nor stream to, we will get it. how will you do that? exactly, since the project and control of the project is within germany's control, we will, i promise you will be able to do less than 2 weeks later nordstrom to was suspended

. and since then, it's been downhill for europe as a whole, but even more damaging for germany since it relies heavily on access to russian energy, the crisis has pushed people to protest their discontent with their government's handling with some even calling for nurturing to to be reopened. but america says it's just trying to help while doing albertson. we count on a liquefied natural gas front to be helpful. on of course, we continue to call to ne, comprised cap that with respect to rational, which i think can also be helpful. yet both americans and the, you know, that the u. s. cannot fulfill all of europe. allen g needs. there's also a limit to what the you can receive given that it doesn't yet have the infrastructure required. and the us back price cap will only drive prices up and cut off europe from cheaper energy supplies. president putin has already made it abundantly clear. russia will not sell anything to anyone at a bad price. you will shoot william issue so we will not supply anything the tool

if it is country to our interest them, which in this case i can only control, you know, with critics claim that despite words, to the contrary from mainstream media, the u. s. has all along been prioritizing its own economy over those of its close as allies. if europe goes into recession, obviously there's less demand for a wide range of products. we're in such a perverse situation here. it can actually be positive. trade with europe, accounts for less than one percent of us gross domestic product. and many economists agree that the decline in european consumer demand is unlikely to significantly affect us businesses. the u. s. economic elite will benefit from the e use decline as it's l. n g. s, forced to the continent have almost doubled since last year. the rand corporation report aside the facts are that europe's economy is in free fall, while the u. s. defense class is profiting off the entire conflict with russia via

ukraine. and it doesn't seem to care that it's helping think the economies of some of its biggest allies. the question of whether this is on purpose remains. but at best europe in the u. s. are blind to the effects of their own sanctions. and at worse, there are more than willing to sacrifice the people of europe for a shaky political outcome. political analyst, garland nixon says that washington sees the crisis as opportunity putting its own financial interests before everything else. it's clear that what the united states is doing is they're eliminating one of the 3 major economic threats, europe, china, and russia. and, you know, sadly, and unfortunately it is with the full compliance of european leaders. i think one of the big threats that the u. s. saw recently, emmanuel crone and others have spoken about a european army building a european army. they're starting to make noise that they want some independence

with their foreign policy. that is a tremendous threat to the neocons in washington. they want to build a military. all of these things, the neo con, see, is a threat, and they see that as, oh, no, it's the emergence of another empire. and they're, you know, certainly trying to, to squash that down economically. the other problem is this. europe's economic model is built on cheap energy for russia. it's difficult for the military industrial machine to convince everyone that russia is a terrible threat when they have a strong and a strong economic bond with particularly germany. the use of principal economic engines officer in authorities have launched a probe against those. they believed to be pro russian spies, including former foreign minister, karen, nice. all they alleged that back in 2018, there was a plan to create a shadow intelligence service. the investigation is based on

a branch of media outlets known as s w. our research, it claims a 4 years ago. the former foreign minister was aware of the project of one of her employees to create a body that would have close ties with russia. and even compete with the country's military unit. it was in that same period of time where she received blow back for dancing with president clinton on her wedding day. since then. nice all says that media attacks against her have only intensified these are allegations and media rumors that have spreading ever since some 2020. that's when i was actually about to move out of austria because the media texts work. getting worse than be in we bruno, if education was pure nonsense, i have never been in both like that. i was never,

i was aware of anything like that. so it's headlines. who's the question mark? it's always think of the questions always has time and tries to are known about it was she involved? you know, it's, it's, it's always strangest reading up something so that some sort of fill there are 3 main timing might be that may be to draw attention away from other topics. you know, we're ready a lot of irrationality. before february this year i could see to or kind of level, i mean it is a tiny, ironic thing, but it's not worth why the ones that i attended were over there on the topic going diplomacy. and i gave several interviews to every helping get

amounts to what they are canadian and i am in secret mission for this. like india is external affairs minister has expressed his country's desire to become a permanent member of the united nations security council. stressing that the un must adapt to modern realities. he made these remarks during his visit to saudi arabia. india is the largest democracy, 5th largest economy, nuclear power, technological hub, and tradition of global engagement. how is a powerful case to be a permanent member of the security council? the council must adapt to the evolving global conditions not only to fulfill its objectives of maintaining international security, but also to remain relevant. meanwhile, washington is backing near reforms for the council. the white house has long stood in favor of germany and japan becoming permanent member states. thus,

despite the 2 being blamed for the outbreak of the 2nd world war, the former director general of the un office and geneva, as washington has departed from its original interests by inviting its military allies to the group. good, this is an attempt to expand the security council with the help of their military allies. that's what it is. i can even say who they want to push into the united nations security council. these are washington's allies, germany and japan. states that were initially recognized in the un charter as enemy states. but today the united states of america is abandoning its former intentions of women. this comes as a u. s. ambassador to the united nations linda thomas greenfield, recently called the council out of day. she opposed preserving the status quo which grants 5 nations that comprised the permanent security council of the un veto power . we should not disarm the non sustainable and outdated state this quote.

instead, we most demonstrate flexibility, unwillingness to compromise in the name of greater credibility and legitimacy. who had forge, consult, says there are some civil, incredible proposals to expand the security council's membership. our guest again says that in the case of reforming the un security council, it should be expanded with states that have their own independent policies. not just those who follow the policies of the us. the world is changed. states such as india, brazil, and south africa are now playing a bigger role. world is not west oriented any longer. and in this band, if we are talking about changing the structure of the un security council, and these very countries should become permanent members of the council, the americans are conversely, trying to make it all western centric. what washington is afraid of is a scenario where the structure of the un security council will be expanded with

these states who hold independent policy views in many international affairs. that's all for now. be sure to check out our key dot com for the latest breaking news, and that day we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. mm . ah, ah ah

ah with welcome to well, the western media now a wash with blue me forecast for the coming winter. and the sobering lifestyle changes that many europeans will have to make in order to get through it. but your appeal reliance on the russian energy, it wasn't just a short sighted political folly, is the fundamental economic factor on which the entire economy and the eurozone depends. it's par, the with foundation on which european prosperity was built. can europe replace that

foundation that without damaging the building on top of it? well, to discuss that, i'm now enjoined by glen deason, professor at the university of south eastern no re, professor disney is great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. oh my pleasure and it's a bit of a surprise. 6 for me to speak to a western academic at their russian conference because you know, they changes even the intellectual exchange between the russians and the westerners are not really encouraged. at this point of time, aren't you concerned about any political or career repercussions for speaking to r t? well, luckily i work for a university which is a quite strong on defending academic freedom. so are they pretty much given me rights to do? i please within certain boundaries, of course, i guess the main problem is in the media where there's a greater push for controlling the narrative. this is where you find that russian meet us, being censored, whole, complete,

to shut down. and also we find our own media doesn't really that accommodates the russian argument or presents even russian interests. so it becomes very difficult or if i could them instruction do their job in order to understand what was a challenge to rush. i noted to explain what it's doing so it's, it's about a great time for academics in the west. i'm afraid. i know that geo politics and geo comics is your primary academic interest in your area expertise in you. for many years. we've been going on russia. i use of energy for its economy as well as in trade with other countries. we are speaking just days after gas from suspended all its gas applies to europe, citing technical malfunctions on the noise stream one pipeline. what does it mean for both sides? well, this is sir, another step in the complete breakdown i think of the entire international economic

system. but it also says the important component of this search, the divorce between the west and russia. now for some time, we did the west has been wanting to cut its reliance on russian energy because sir international system, what you want to have our symmetrical interdependence. that if you want other to be dependent on you, but you should be dependent on them. so again, rush has been dependent on western and technologists industries. sir. transportation corridors, so banks, currencies, insurances, payment system, so across the board, one problem for the west us that we've been reliant on russian energy and the russian agricultural and the us agriculture her as well. so the, the problem now of course is by reducing or cutting reliance on russian gas and oil, or we actually her to our, on the con, miss, obviously because o, in, often with trip, this idea that we're buying russian energy of some kind of a charity.
