will be homeless for years to come. and we are asking the donors to set of fame to pull money to ukraine, to finance the reconstruction and gas, because our situation is more difficult with from moscow to the world. this is our key international. i'm rachel blevins. and here are the top stories this hour. we begin with the latest from the conflict in ukraine. russian authorities from the ball garad region have asked residents of to border villages to evacuate. the homes in the area are situated very close to ukraine and attack on monday spurred b urgent warning. this comes after one person was killed and 4 others wounded after ukraine showed a check point in a russian village, ordering the harcourt region and ukraine. here are some images of the aftermath of

the attack. the victim was an elderly woman and ukrainian refugee. 3 of those wounded were also ukrainian citizens who have recently fled to russia. hundreds of ukrainian refugees are now coming to russia after ukrainian forces have taken over a number of towns in the har called region. local authorities say they are provided with all the necessary care and will be given temporary housing. that is, the ukrainian government is persecuting local features in the hard core region. here the deputy prime minister said ukrainian teachers who have taught children in accordance with the russian curriculum, will now face criminal charges and could spend to 12 years in prison. former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says the west is ignoring human rights abuses perpetrated by the cranium government against the russian speaking population. while it tries to create an image of

a democratic ukraine. us ignored what happened in odessa of the us, ignored the brutal assault on the mario pool on the, the assault on of the don't bus. the u. s. ignored 8 years of shelling and slaughtering of you kind of well, i mean of ukrainian civilians, russian speaking ukraine, civilians in the don't bus region. the u. s. is going to ignore what's going on today in the recently recapture territories and you know where they call it a filtration. but it's really murder they're targeting people for murder. reprisals are the lucky ones. will only go to prison for 15 years. but you know, many of them are going to get the chance to go to prison. they're being killed right now as we speak. but the u. s. ignores it because the u. s. is bought into this fantasy of ukraine as

a free and democratic society. there's nothing free or democratic about ukraine, the current ukrainian gov, the u. s. is bought into the notion that of, you know, there isn't a, a, a nazi problem in ukraine. will the people who are murdering the russians right now in izzy. i'm in the other recapture of villages and towns are nazis. they are the cracking battalion. what do they think that is? i know are what do they think that is after russia with terrorists truth from the northern contact lines and harcourt region, and he crane and relocated themselves to that on nest republic to bolster operations. their videos have emerged on line. showing western mercenaries reportedly assisting, he adds truth and taking control of local settlements. boys where the car, we do a lot of fighting gear

rifles show. meanwhile, us senator mark warner says american intelligence is working closely with providing important information. our guest scott ritter again, adds that washington plans to weaken russia and this conflicts have been obvious from the beginning with ukraine being used as a means to an end. we've seen a transition where we're talking about a nato army with the army, the fighting russia. right now when you train, there's no longer a ukrainian army, it's a natal army. it just happens to be manned by ukrainian troops, primarily. but these ukrainian 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 who specialists tasks such as operator advise on the operation of advanced nato artillery systems and things of that nature. so already that's cross the battery. 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 fat, former veterans, many with no combat experience in the trainings, didn't want to use them, but the international legion has been transformed and it now is manned by thousands of very combat, shabby international mercenaries, the u. s, frankly, it doesn't care about ukraine when 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 4 and mercenaries who found the war time action shocking. here's our keys, roman culture. up 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 the 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,

that's how the man's name is said anneal 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 these of 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 chests on see speaking in great measure, they influenced us only in raising morale. they lifted up our fighting spirits, but how effective they actually were. i cannot say more, some and even deserted their positions. our position was the hottest spot in the war. if we do not include mario poll, we were in key f. they said that they didn't need this after that we never saw them again. there was also a situation when as soon as these men arrived, we had to get up in the morning to to the shooting and gunfire which we sat there

and they looked at us with open eyes filled with panic. asking what was happening. then they realize this is a real war and they had a machine gun and they broke it. they broke it so they could retreat. was such a fiasco for us. they took such an expensive piece of equipment and they just took an axe and broke it in 2. then they just retreated 50 meters and sat there to speak . honestly, nobody in, i'll come on, told us anything about any kind of foreign formations that was supposed to be with us or what they were going to do. officially, they said that the reason for their presence, as many of them are actual soldiers who fought in the war in afghanistan, is that they're fighting for democracy. 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. so to conclude, danny, on the free on call was not really impressed with those mercenaries who had come across. and he wasn't impressed with their weapons either as they were all seeking, saw get made class called the ministry of defense of armenia. and now that the

armed forces of other bye, john continued to show civilian and military infrastructure on the border between the 2 countries. earlier, both defense ministries and casualties among their military forces as a result of the exchange of fire, explosions from artillery and drones. dr. reported by armenian citizen, shortly after midnight on tuesday, armenia has blamed neighboring officer by john for the attack and claims back who is targeting civilian infrastructure officer by john, hit back on the claim and says that the attacks are only targeting military infrastructure income as their retaliation. after quote provocation from the armenian side, as a result of the showing 10 people have been wounded and delivered to a local medical center. according to the armenian ministry of defense, the investigative committee of armenia has opened the case on the matter, alleging,

quote, war crimes using prohibited methods of warfare have been used. according to local reports, people have started to evacuate from several cities in the south of armenia. a local journalist gives us this report on the latest escalation in the region. september neither can jump on september 13th, just past midnight. units of the bridge, jani armed forces began intensive shalean of armenian positions, in gorgeous sort. in germany, from large caliber artillery guns. this is reported by the armenian ministry of defense, the shining army reports casualties on its side from the armenian side. we also add at the moment, according to unofficial information. the shelling has stopped. the security council of r. mia has officially appealed to russia. the c. s. t o, which is the mosque outlet defense block, and the un security council in connection with the latest hostilities this,

while the other by johnny defense minister claims the attack was a response to a growing armenian military presence near the disputed territory. local journalist from buck who has more than the positions of other within our courses, books and intensive and systematic fire, armenia have been concentrating, offensive weapons, heavy artillery and manpower. it won't be bored. it was by john for the last month . such actions taken aims, aim to slow down the implementation of large scale infrastructure projects in boarder regence of love and care, as well as to maintain the tension. the atmosphere of tension of the borderline ukraine expects to receive another installment of financial aid from the european union in the amount of 5000000000 euros locals and gaza are suffering from a lagging reconstruction process. as many fear they will be homeless for years.

this comes after ukraine is going to receive $3000000000.00 more later this year, bringing the new financial aid total to $8000000000.00 for 2022. meanwhile, gaza has received $862000000.00 in total over the last 22 years from the block, a local journalists and i come on gives us more on the story. in early august is that i enlarged a 30 day military campaign against ever seen. and as the mac you heard movement in gaza getting at least 50. but athenians including women and children, as well as when did i about the 360 others? israeli army then carried out dozens of the air strikes. again, that has dental building, military size and civilian properties under the bricks that they are belonging to the islamic. you had movement in the area. they are sick and most powerful armed.

but athenians in that goes that include the total cost of the destruction may go up to $230000000.00 barrels for the housing sector, and $800000000.00 to compensate to those evicted in the economic, industrial, and agriculture to gather admittedly, needs financial donor to reconstruct the damage you had said made that during their baby us is that are in the a wars there between 2008. and the 2014 a promise of assistance to build homes, androids, and support gather civilians have been boring. and for some time, however, the local residents of the car selling clave out afraid of bending more years before rebuilding their houses. as a very construction for uprooted exec going get slowly in the gather, amid not donors, absence yoga been 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 missile, and then it was targeted by 2 missiles from an f. 16 warplane. the house was completely destroyed and we became homeless. if we don't get funding, we won't be able to rebuild our house. we can hardly afford our food, drink and university educations by the fed offers, but after targeting the tower with 8 bombs, without any prior warnings, it led to great destruction and made all the housing units and amenable and displaced dozens of families, including more than 50 children more than 50 women and more than a $120.00 men were very apprehensive, especially since the situation in the gaza strip is very difficult. and there are many facilities that have been destroyed and previous wars that have not yet been reconstructed so far. it runs across hands of the lake of inter letter interest in the data. if you are in gaza, which are the same time seem to be interested only in boring, more and more money aiding through their grain along there longer than us am. i

hope israel full responsible and we appeal to the donors to help us. we are asking the donors instead of paying the full money to ukraine, to finance the reconstruction in gather because our situation is more difficult than theirs. we have been under siege for many years, alana vicky, and i'm addressing my message to the international and air of community. 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 bellis indians. ask and not much income, better than with the amount of money given to give by their, with. they only need to rebuild that houses and live in bees as well as the other communities around go. where do, ah, mass protest against rising energy bills have gained momentum in europe with demonstrations in germany being the latest that have kicked off almost

a 1000 people came to express outrage against soaring energy prices and inflation. protesters also demand until halt the supply of weapons to frame, as well as to launch the nordstrom to pipeline, which was never open due to anti russian sentiment. does by a local government's attempts to find politically suitable solutions. public discontent has the potential to lead to huge political ramifications. archie contributor rachel marson explains, could stratospheric energy prices actually reshape the political landscape in europe to new surveys in italy taken ahead of the general election on september 25th. suggest that could very well be the case. 92 percent of italians ranked energy prices as the top issue facing voters even ahead of unemployment. and another poll found that the right wing coalition is leading with 47 percent of the vote in a fragmented field, which would effectively make copy list, georgia,

maloney, the new prime minister. if those figures hold until election day. maloney has blamed the use policies for the energy crisis and as he vote exploiting the andreotti c for a sovereign energy supply as other you countries scramble to secure their own sources of energy in a race to replace russian gas that the e. u has effectively cut off to its own sanctions. so exactly how much of a hit is the you expected to take as a result of itself and post crisis. 15 percent of european g d p. according to analysts sack goldman sachs in our view, the market continues to underestimate the depth, the breadth, and the structural repercussions of the crisis. we believe these will be even deeper than the 19 seventy's oil crisis. it may wonder what european leaders are playing at when they recommend increasingly shorter showers for citizens to limit their heating or cooling measures that are like trying to enter the ocean with the

teaspoon. the french government assured citizens last week that they wouldn't be placing a police officer behind every thermostat, but remarks last week by you energy commissioner, cadre simpson seemed to suggest that the screws may be on the verge of tightening. we need to reduce electricity consumption in a smart way. this means focusing on be colors, beaches than gas by a boat dance or pro online to buy their high demand, biting up electricity prices. i intend to propose a man doubt that he thought out it for a member states to reduce consumption at b colors. they will then have implemented based on that nation that circumstances doesn't quote. mandatory target for e u countries mean that they'll have to impose restrictive measures on their own. people like they had absolutely no qualms about doing. during the coven crisis, wasn't all of his energy sanctioning supposed to prevent russia from making money

through energy sales. that could be used to pursue its military interests in ukraine. if that's still the case, then the you took a wrong turn and got lost way down in the weeds. since gas problems, revenues are set to rise by 85 percent compared to last year. that's according to western press reports. so while the u gets carried away with its misguided self sanctioning that has now taken on almost religious undertones, and that they are blindly following their anti russian dogma to the point of murdering and sacrificing their own economies and citizens. russia seems to have shrugged off the lost western clients in favor of sending more energy to china and india. it's hard to be optimistic here in the you, when all indicators are flashing red. and rather than reevaluate their course of action, the blocks leader scene increasingly comfortable with the idea of the average person who never voted for these, you bureaucrats paying the price for these policies. meanwhile,

washington fears that europe's energy prices could split the continent unified voice vilifying russia. this, as some us officials say, the e u shortage of energy sources may turn the block against the wars continuation and against providing the military aid that is fueling with crisis. the u. s a major export or of liquefied natural gas, and we'll expect more income as, as our lives and post sanctions against moscow. this as germany, joe signed a 20 year contract with a major us gas supplier, one of the few options left for europe as it cuts ties with russia. r t correspondent, fiorella. isabel explains washington's motivations behind the sanctions and its 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 us. so much so that some have claimed this is

a control demolition of the european economy a leave to unconfirmed document by the rand corporation in american nonprofit global policy. think tank financed by the u. s. 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, it's 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 via proxy war. it's worth noting that back in february,

before the conflict in ukraine began bite instead, this, when asked what would happen if russia took military action against kids, there will be, there will be no longer nor stream to we will for you. then 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, 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 handling. with some even calling for nurturing to to be reopened. but america says it's just trying to help while doing albertson. we're count on a liquefied natural gas from to be helpful. on of course, we continue to call tonight and price 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's allen g needs. there's also a limit to what the e you can receive, given that it doesn't yet have the infrastructure required. and the u. s. back price cap will only drive prices up and cut off europe from cheaper energy supplies . president putin has already made it a fundamentally clear russia will not sell anything to anyone at a bad price. well, she knew william sure, pistole, we will not supply anything. the tool, if it is country to our interests, in this case, economic interests you no gosh, no ill, no co, no fuel. nothing. critics claim that despite word to the contrary from mainstream media, the u. s. has all along been prioritizing its own economy over those of it's 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 isn't likely to significantly affect us businesses. the u. s. economic elite will benefit from the use decline as it's l. n. g exports to the continent have almost doubled since last year. the rand corporation report aside the facts are that europe's economy is in freefall. 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 and 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 analysts, garland next says washington sees the crisis as an opportunity putting its own

financial interest 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 a manual ma 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 neo cons in washington. they want to build a military, all of these things, the neocons see as a threat, and they see that as, oh, no, it's the emergence of another empire. and there are, 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 principal economic engines. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah ah ah

who is the aggressor today i'm authorized to disco, strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing. i think joe, sich of liberalism was the cosigner as you speak on the believe senior mercy mind or will ship. we're banding all in ports of russian oil and gas. new g i g ovals with lower with lower care. can you give me about joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy. you so there's your boomerang. ah

ah, with mm ah, welcome to wells apart. what's the media? i now a wash with gloomy forecast for the coming winter on. bate 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 the weekend . the entire economy of the eurozone depends. it's par, the 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 and join by glen deason, professor at the university of south eastern no rate professor. it isn't as great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. oh, my pleasure. and it's a bit of a surprise for me to speak to a western academic at their russian conference because, you know, they changes even intellectual had changed within 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, for speaking to r t? well, luckily i worked for a university which is quite strong on defending academic freedom so that they pretty much given me rights to do as i pleased with 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 out rush need us being censored, whole completely shut down.
