a lot of tampa. tad's already have taking place, widen reporting has already match his counterparts from could guess stand through many stand pakistan and iran see to her on is it not ever f o official papers that start this process have already been signed here in samarkand at his meeting with wine murphy, which they iranian leader pointed out that the fact that both russia and iran happened to be under american sanctions. i, ronnie kelly plays a very important role in strengthening relations between moscow in teheran, to remind you to day russia is the world's most sanctioned country. let's now take a listen to what they are running leader has to say, morrow italian americans think that if sanctions are imposed against one country, they can stop its will in its development. but they are wrong. the fact that both russia and iran are under us sanctions can actually help strengthen our ties and

simplify the implementation of our agreements. the whole world knows that the u. s . is incapable of negotiating. it violates all its obligations. every one is convinced that the e u has taken a passive position and is also unable to fulfill its promises, which is what more potent has also stressed that moscow is seeking to strengthen relations and deepen corporation with iran. let's take a listen. her go throwing in bilateral cooperation between russia and iran is developing positively our work on a new. 1 lodge agreement is at the final stage. it will mark the beginning of relations on a strategic partnership level. late on thursday, wideman potent is also expected to may tease chinese counterpart foresee this will be the 1st in person meeting. in a long time. the summit starts also at the time of yet another escalation between

back who and year yvonne and it is expected that during his meeting with the editor by johnny leader of widen reporting. we'll also discuss the situation at the border between as it by john and out of menia, where recently there were serious clashes with more than 40 people killed. armina as prime minister by the way, was expected here. but in the last moment, mr. pushing and said that he's not going to attend the summer due to tensions at the border. a lot has been said about a growing role over the years seo in a modern world where west and 8 institutions and alliances are actually very fast losing heads influence and trust. and putin's press secretary earlier on thursday said that no one sets the task of making the effort an alternative to military organization. this is print shape and the name of something, and not against someone back to you. tard ortiz maria for notion of thanks for

bringing us those details. sure, in another development, a united nations representative has called for sanctions against iran to be lifted in a report detailing how every aspect of life from the country has suffered from decades of punitive embargoes. if you want to move on and see job insurance since 2018 when x u. s. president, donald trump, unilaterally withdrew from iran's us back 2015 nuclear deal. washington has continued to pile on sanctions to exert maximum pressure on iran even made efforts to restore the record radians have subsequently been denied, essential medicines from abroad. a sanctions have vastly contributed to widespread

shortages runs nuclear program continues to be at the center of its dispute with the us. with the un nuclear watchdog, the international atomic energy agency, claiming to runs intentions are not exclusively peaceful around meanwhile, insist that its program is focused on nuclear energy and not weapons. we heard from christopher wally, a political analyst and researcher who says that washington uses sanctions as its own political tool and its ordinary iranians. who suffer. i think number one that the report is, is a bum show, but it's the bumps so that all of us knew was a reality for the past decade. and i think that nothing is going to change. for example, the trump administration, elevated distinctions to what they called the maximum pressure campaign. and the biden administration has further enhanced those sanctions. so it's a bipartisan consensus in washington to in the sanctions on iran, there, affecting ordinary iranians and the, affecting the ability to get medicine,

their ability to get food and their ability to function and live a dignified life. i don't see the things ending anytime soon. and i feel that campaign as another act of terrorism and war against the iranian people. this is the how do you knighted states function? this is the reality of the sanctions that are done. and the sanctions are ultimately another tool of war and the, an economic instruments akin to cj warfare from the middle ages. so this is the truth and that the report at least shows the light of the truth to people who were not believing those activists. and those are reporters and journalists who are telling the truth from the beginning. and now we moved to the latest news from ukraine or to children, and their parents were killed when keeps forces shell, to residential area, and the northeastern city of her song. that's according to moscow, back officials who are in control there. now a warning, the following images are disturbing. the family had been crossing

a road when they were hit by the attack and they died instantly at the scene. authorities say the ukrainian forces used a u. s. supplied high marse rocket to conduct the strike. the deputy head of the have san region administration says the city now has its own alley of angels. a reference to the dynamics memorial to children killed in the conflict is i don't know who the nazis were, shooting it, but people died anyway. what this proves, again that in care song as many have noticed today, we now have our own alley of angels. we absolutely believe that all shots fired from american weapons or fired directly by the u. s. we say again that they do not care about ukrainians. russians or belushi. now they are interested in one single goal, any method of terror, destruction and murder. at the same time, lugens to people's republic, authorities say a high school in the city of pitt evolved was struck by ukrainian showing one child

was killed. and 6 students and teacher were wounded in that attack and in the neighboring. but you have the people's republic ukrainian forces shelled a kindergarten in the city of duca child sk doke. who chives rather. one woman was wounded in the incident and these are unverified images from eye witnesses. along with the shelling increasing numbers of civilians are being injured by so called pedal land mines, which can cripple people in seconds or tease room on closer reports on the deadly weapons. civilian casualties continued to mount here, hand and ask peoples republic. however, artillery is not the only danger. facing the people here. ukrainian army have also been using so called petal mines, all butterfly mines against the civilians here in de nest. this is what they look like. completely and noticeable to the naked eye. more than 60 people have been

maimed for life by stepping on to a small petal. mine like this. according to local authorities, there are still thousands of these anti personnel mines around the nest people's republic that have not yet been discovered. right now there warning all of the population. to be very, very cautious right now, mentoring the hospital here in done ask the trauma center where they treat most of these patients for the conductor will so good. people get very serious injuries when they come into contact with these objects. often their feet get torn off. this mind is dangerous because during the explosion in the secondary damage, an element is asphalt or soil. these elements, in fact, the skin and sub thermal muscles, you should never pick them up. you should immediately call the emergency services.

this mine is designed to cripple people, not to kill them. and this is much more frightening. ukrainian nationalists continue shelling of the city of the next not only with heavy artillery butts with these so called betel mines as well. the weather here, is it changing right now as well? that means we're about to get a lot of for mud, a lot of snow. that means that these are shiny mines will be completely unnoticeable. and that also means that doctors at this, from a sensor will have a lot more work from on call for of r t done as people's republic. meanwhile, russian lead forces have advanced and on boss taking control of a key strategic point near the city of arch. almost these are the latest images from the area here you can see in abandoned bunker that was previously used by ukrainian forces. entire area is located on

a hill overlooking the surrounding locality. meanwhile, across ukrainian social media of a video is going viral, showing to children speaking to a ukrainian soldier who brags about killing russians and a brutal fashion. and yesterday we blew up a truck full of mines. we put gasoline on it, attached to grenade, set it on fire and it exploded. we also killed the russians. they began to bother us and we threw a grenade at the well thought bubble group, that's how you fight for ukraine. well done. a number of ukrainian organizations have been accused of indoctrinating children into various neo nazi ideologies. western media have highlighted the existence of summer camps led by ultra nationalist, militant groups in the country operating with the support of both local officials and far right. political parties. earlier we spoke with

a survivor of the rwandan genocide, who said that such indoctrination can leave children deeply traumatized for the rest of their lives. i found the video extremely disturbing and actually discussing to the adults uploading children, taken part, you know, war. and it also brought a bunch of a lot of p p d for me personally, being somebody who experienced the war at a young age. you know, in this case these children may not have actually done what they're saying. they've done still being exposed to such extreme violence is very damaging to children's brain and they grow into traumatized adults. children are usually very impressionable and it's easy to indoctrinate them with a certain ideology, especially when the ideologies popular. so whether it's not the, whether it's any other hate groups, the targeting of children actually makes it easy because it's crowded round,

it's an easy ground to, to plant the seeds of hit and extremism. and, and they grow up with, with that, with the current global global hunger problems emerged long before the ukraine conflict. that's according to the president of the international committee of the red cross. if we talk about hunger today, it's not because of the ukraine war. and we have seen the indicators of a food security crisis emerges in africa for much longer than the escalation that we have seen in the ukranian war. it has been as a complicating factor. it has exacerbated some of the problems that we have seen before. but the 1st thing the caters i had more than a year ago when from our hospitals, into health. when comparing notes with doctors without borders and their impressive

network of hospitals in africa. we started to look at the weight figures of entries into hospitals. that's despite the west trying to put the whole blame on russia. moscow has long advocated for humanitarian help to countries in need and even signed a deal with key of to ship grain to african countries. however, the majority of the serial has now gone to wealthy countries. instead that says, the west continues to allocate billions of dollars in aid to ukraine. you and agencies have warned of famine like conditions and the horn of africa, where up to 22000000 people are at risk of starvation and more than 7000000 have been forced to migrate. that's according to the world food program. malnutrition remains high across the peninsula with about 10000000 children under the age of 5 suffering. earlier we spoke to adama garbo, who was running for the nigerian presidency until june. and he says, climate change has been more of

a problem affecting global food supplies than the conflict in ukraine. the problem has been ongoing for a long time. and it has little thing that has to do with the destruction of resources that we have from the wisdom colonial powers that hub loan by short time, mitchell is sure that we get food from order countries where they can be able to give course like russia has agreed to so i'll send you an agreement, you can shoot brains to some part of africa. discontinued and showed up with tim issue you security in there just so that's almost come over to tom under talk is that the european powers department of the hub. mit on cop 26th regarding the climate change. let, don't fulfill just forms lose about $100000000000.00 so that we can be able to get it for climate change. the problem is the telephone shorts and what we kept.

it was in africa, if you georgia, well buy a new one or buffer. got it. thanks so much. yeah. you know, and in the center level go to like, i mean charge, lisa weiss if we don't get off from what i wanted that i'm willing to offer it was free transfer just went by you function. who brought them simply because you had to usually georgia, you decided to deny. i'm opportunity for was to put, you know, to so by the weak crisis is not only causing problems in africa where grain is simply not being supplied, but also in europe itself. in bulgaria, angry farmers have taken to the streets. this footage shows a large number of tractors on roads in the southeast region of russia. as police officers stand by. after an agreement was reached on the export of grain from ukraine and poured into europe, sending purchase prices down, while the cost of fertilizers climbed higher door. this is absolute lawlessness. we

have never seen such a thing before. smuggling with the participation of the state, local guerria as part of the external border of the e. u. o. for me, it is unacceptable that it violates the european customs regime in this way. we insist on finding a tool in mechanism. bulgarian money or funds from the e. u, with which we can be compensated for our high cost fertilizers preparations and fuel. so i will just say that fertilizers went up 500 percent. we want the entire, either to comply with imports from ukraine, which destroy not only european agriculture, but also bulgarian agriculture, the doe bridge. our region has a long battle related to the exploration and extraction of shale gas. we are firmly against it. we have always stated it and we will defend this position zone deliver the entire european union, tolerates ukraine. and for our production, we have to fulfill thousands of requirements ah winter, fast approaching europeans are on the lookout for new ways to heat their homes. as the absence of cheap russian gas causes

a big headache for many sales of fireplaces, firewood, and would burners have shot up in spain? as many people go into survival note, the surgeon demand has caused prices to skyrocket, leaving many of those previously reliant on the most basic form of heat, the cold l. hennessy. we believe that our clients are asking for a bit more firewood and people who didn't ask for it before asking for it now because gas is going to go up quite a lot in electricity to an alternative, to heating homes as firewood and it's more economical. this, i think that the companies that manufacture are taking advantage of the rise in all energy sources and of this one to they are taking advantage of the moment to raise prices. it is not understandable that since last year it has more than doubled. it has gone up 100 percent. meanwhile, germany is facing yet. another crisis after russia shut down its nord stream, one natural gas pipeline, due to technical issues earlier this month. the national power supply is at

breaking point as people revert to electric, blankets and heaters determined to see out the winter. and they can overburden the power grids, for instance, when many households switch on their fan heaters in one part of town. at the same time on a cold winter's night, authorities worry that with many heaters turned on simultaneously, the power grid could be overburdened and malfunction. but even if the system holds bill for bills from using these devices will be even happier than before. while sales are already reported to be almost 35 percent higher than last year. and autumn is just beginning lawyer. florian hoffman says that the only way out of this quote mess is to lift the sanctions against russia. we are facing a blackout because, um we have no most electricity. this is the country molar grill. most of the very, the most interest realize progressive in technique,

technologies, countries. and at the moment in the back year, you know, we are not in the 1st or 2nd year, but beyond the next year. the, the reason for the whole miss are the sections quite clear. you know, they thought they can win the wall by, by hitting with mr. put in with sections. but i tell you, but the reference earn so much money as they never did before. and there's only one way to get out of the mist and that is finishing the sanctions. and i think talking them the put in would tell immediately if they were open for such a decision on a newly declassified us intelligence report claims. russia has spent $300000000.00

on meddling and for an elections and $24.00 countries over the last 8 years. moscow has consistently rejected all allegations of any interference, though the claims are a great concern for the us. what russia is doing around the world in terms of its election, meddling is also an assault on sovereignty. is an effort to chip away at the ability of people around the world to choose the government that they seem best fit to represent them to represent their interest represents their values. meanwhile, washington has spent a total of 8 trillion dollars on wars across the middle east, north africa, and south central asia and the past 2 decades. that's according to research by the watson institute for international and public affairs at brown university of that amount. 2 trillion dollars were spent on the war and afghan, a stamp which ended just one year ago with america was botched withdrawal. author

and journalist daniel was there says he does not believe the u. s. allegations of russian interference saying the us itself has metal then dozens of elections and other countries. the state department report ca, ford is just ludicrous. i mean, according to a study they, at carnegie mellon university, the us interfered in 62 election foreign elections during the cold war. after the cold war intervenes and elections in havi is no. afghanistan and elsewhere. the u. s. has a national endowment for democracy. a government funded agency whose job is to distribute funds to political parties and, and other countries. it's part of the law and you know, and, and yes, it is what they do. but it's what the u. s. in particular has been especially

aggressive in doing. i've been no position to judge. however, if the information that i put out in 2016 to 18 over russian political interference in the us of the, the information was that's completely false. totally bad information based on that, there is no reason to believe the latest allegation. desperate american soldiers and their families should consider using food stamps to help combat soaring prices. that's the advice from the army itself. while the country is gripped by high inflation, and washington continues to spend billions of dollars on ukraine, the inflation effect an ada thing from gas prices to groceries to rance. some soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get on by the budget. they sat

and used before the financial read in this program office, a number of online resources to help soldiers to take ownership of their own personal financial management. the army has admitted it's difficult for soldiers to make ends meet under current fixed salary contracts last month and released a guidance recommending its personnel apply for food stamps. the program is designed for low income americans and is being presented as part of the army financial readiness program, along with financial literacy training and educational videos on how to manage debt . surprisingly, food insecurity is not a new issue for the u. s. military with a recent pentagon report saying almost a quarter of active duty service members experienced the problem in 2020. while in in 2021 a. u. s. census bureau report said that national guard members and reservices were twice as likely to suffer hunger as any other american demographic group. the u. s

. is currently experiencing the fastest rise in food prices since the 1900 seventy's further aggravating the problem. so the u. s. is 31 trillion in debt, yet sends billions to ukraine, and some military families are on food stamps. got it. in other words, us troops will need to go on welfare and food stamps to do their part, to support ukraine. appalling struggling soldiers told to apply for food stamps as biden sense, billions for ukraine military. the federal government can't afford to give our military arrays, but they can afford to have them go on snap and send billions to ukraine almost on a weekly basis. we spoke to ed martin, he's a new york times best selling author who believes that the priorities of washington's political establishment have nothing to do with the needs of regular people. well, it's a little bit of a trick. i mean, instead of being reported in such a way, it's not really soldiers, it's a military, meaning we've expanded our military into another bureaucracy. i, you know, thousands and hundreds of thousands of workers. we're not necessarily,

we're talking about, by the way, soldiers also. but it's a massive agency, a massive set of and the priorities are off look, inflation in america is running at about 10 percent. and yet, yesterday in the white house, president biden said things are going great. well, not for normal people, you know, when it's 10 percent on, especially on gas and eggs and bread and butter, it's a disaster. so i, the priorities are off base and in america it's the swamp. it's the washington d. c. cabal that continues to make money to grow its business, grow what's happening? the defense contractors are making money, hand over fist and it is a problem. now again, i hope that the correction is coming in terms of the politics, but both parties have fallen victim to a vision where sending money overseas to fund contractors and, and defense is a positive thing. the american people are tired of it. in a, in other news, the head of the european commission has called on colleagues to quote eradicate

corruption at home while promising to take part in the process. and today i would like to focus on corruption with on its faces. the face of foreign agents trying to influence. i'll political system, the face of shady companies, a foundations abusing public money. if we want to be credible when we ask candidates countries to strengthen their democracies, we must also eradicate corruption at home. that's just days after ursula vander lay in her found herself in hot water after the european court of auditors requested information on her role in the largest and most expensive vaccine deal between the e. u and american drug company, pfizer vander lane had earlier been accused of breaching you rules on negotiating such deals. however, the court says the commission has refused to disclose details of her role. we asked

the commission to provide us with information on the preliminary negotiations for this agreement. the scientific experts consulted and advice received the timing of the talks, records of the discussions and details of the agreed terms and conditions. however, none was forthcoming. the investigation touches upon and may 2021 contract to supply up to 1800000000 doses of pfizer corona virus vaccine to europe. the deal is believed to have not been agreed with e u. member states, as is the custom, but instead was discussed in private between vander leon and the company. in addition, it was agreed that pfizer doses would be delivered the following year after the main wave of vaccinations. the court also questioned the size of the supply while the use eastern states lacked vaccines altogether. most of the conservative daily podcast, jo ultman says that the commission's refusal to act openly is a clear sign of transgression. what i think happened is that they are exactly what

they say they're fighting again. so come out, talk about corruption while you're actually in the midst committing that corruption . the lack of transparency is only done when you're trying to hide the mouthpiece. and yet they want to say that there's nothing to see here, and then they'll use the media and technology company in order to process the same problems that they face in the you that we face in the united states. we know there are back back room deals. we know that most of the pharmaceutical companies, like pfizer, are owned by best companies. and those investment companies also by the way, are invested in our electrical system. and they also own the media. that means that the people of the, you and the people of american people around the world were slaves were slaves to a group of people that want to talk about. we have freedom that we have the ability to app free choice, but really we don't have free choice really. we don't, we don't governor and we certainly give money. the government can use that money that makes us what that makes us hasn't been there on thanks.
