he didn't well re visiting this week on friday. another round of shelling hits verizon in the south of ukraine for people were left dead as the city sensor was targeted by at least 5 us supplied high mars rockets. well, this and verified footage is believed to show locals running from the blast. 13 people were initially reported wounded, but one woman later died in hospital rockets, stroke the building of the regional administration during a meeting between officials they're the head of the local labored. apartments was wounded while her driver was killed. give has claimed responsibility for the attack calling it's legitimate. now, besides suffering from shunning, increasing numbers of civilians are been injured by so called butterfly lun minds, which can cripple people in seconds. ortiz romco, so census this report from the city of the next artillery is not the only danger.

facing the people here in the next ukrainian army have also been using so cold pets. all mines, all butterfly mines against the civilians. here in the nest. this is what they look like, completely unnoticeable to the naked eye. and if a person steps on this mine, it will main that person for life. now i can pick this one up because this is a merely an imitation. but you can see what it looks like. it's very small, it, it can fit in the palm of my hand. and once again, it's completely unnoticeable over the last 6 months. more than 60 people have been maimed for life by stepping on to a small petal. mine like this injuries our limbs, people's limbs that have been completely torn off. 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. i will speak now to the chief of the local trauma center. hold. tell me exactly what him and his staff are dealing with but a conductor will certain 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, the me in the secondary damage, an element is asphalt or sawyer. these elements, in fact, the skin and sub thermal muscles, you know, you should never pick them up. you should immediately called the emergence services . this mine is designed to creep on people's not to kill them with,

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 fer mud, a lot of snow. that means that these are shiny mines will be completely and noticeable. and that also means that doctors at this, from a sensor will have a lot more work for a bank. also have r t done as people's republic. the hungarian prime minister compared e. you, ancy, russia, sanctions to energy, midgets imposing sanctions on an energy giant. well, that's as the e u parliament, earliest day to the hungry can be considered a full democracy, while at the same time wanting to see ukraine. one of your most corrupt countries, as one of his members, are the contributor. rachel marson takes us through the details. european leaders

haven't stopped talking about how much they want ukraine in the u, and how keith is virtually the embodiment of european values. just this week, you commission president ursula vander line said during his swing through, keep that quote, the essential process is well on track. it's impressive to see the speed, the determination, the preciseness with which you are progressing. she also said that ukraine needs quote more business, more income through the you were talking here about the country recently considered to be the 2nd most corrupt in europe and rank 122nd out of a 180 countries on transparency internationals, crushin, and ducks on par with zambia galvan and mexico. now compared that posture with the e parliament's motion approved this week in a 433 to 123 vote. adopting a report concluding that hungary has become a quote electoral autocracy. meaning that european values and democracy were under

systemic threat in that country. we deeply regret that the lack of decisive action on the part of the european union has contributed to the breakdown of democracy and the rule of law and fundamental rights and hungary making the country a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy, hungary as not a democracy, it was more urgent than ever for the parliament to take the stance, considering the alarming rate at which the rule of law is backsliding and hungary, the report sites, a range of issues from academic and religious freedom to minority rights, but also judicial and electoral independence. the report could have literally been written about ukraine, yet the you and it would have been flattering yet the you desperately wants to shoehorn ukraine into the you. it comes at a high cost, but our freedom, the international peace order and democracy is priceless. you now can see that it could come to an end with victory for freedom and democracy. ukraine's problems haven't gone unnoticed, including by western mainstream media and human rights. organizations like amnesty

international members of ukrainian forces and paramilitaries, also subjected detainees to torture and other ill treatment and used detained civilians as pawns for prisoner exchanges between the warring sides. credible allegations emerged of torture and other agree just abuses by ukraine's so called volunteer battalions. ater and his off. last year he had his main political opponent, arrested, and his assets seized by the state. at the same time's lensky shut down 3 of ukraine's most popular television networks, channels that not coincidentally, had criticized him. the e wants ukraine so badly that it has created a new european political community set to meet for the 1st time on october 1st kind of a kitty table of countries that aspire to e u membership. so if you crane and hungry face, the exact same criticisms except ukraine's are far worse with ukraine. of course, being worse, ranked for its problems than hungry, which already passed the sniff tasks well enough to get into the

e in the 1st place than wise the block drooling over ukraine while spanking hungry . it can't have anything to do with the fact that hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon is against sanctioning russia and his forged ahead with new russian energy deals. while the block cuts off its own supply can it? it sees the brussels definition of democracy and european values, however lofty they are, are synonymous with a hearing to you and promoting this global as to jetta. and when that particular box is checks, everything else apparently takes a backseat. ah, the head of the nato alliance has admitted that it began no plotting and expansion of the block near russian borders several years ago. it comes after natalee disagreed to on a plan for a significant build up of his forces on his eastern flank by 2023 in june, due to the ukrainian conflict. we're talking about the biggest overhaul of our

military structures since 1949. the planning for that started several years ago, but now were implementing it. the block plans to increase the number of high alert forces on his eastern flank to more than 300000 soldiers in the near future. and nato countries have pledged to increase defense spending. now, despite russia's red lines, de bonding that the block stop expanding to the east and not to include key f in the alliance. while ukraine is not a member of nato, the international miniature lyons has been a key player and it's ongoing conflicts with russia. we can go live now to michael muller, former senior security policy analyst of the u. s. secretary of defense. michael, thanks for joining us today, sir. oh, so that when you've heard this, this, the statement by the head of the nato alliance way admit that the block, the miniature block, has been planning to expand near russian borders way before the conflicts in

ukraine. but nato has previously said that nato enlargement is not directed against russia. i'm on the block has set out to build good relations with the country. and what do you make of that apparent contradiction? well, i think it's all a fabrication. it's actually the united states was the one who was leading this effort, going back to the clinton administration, to go against an agreement that bill clinton gave to, to, to, to russia. that it would not seek to expand. but all the while it was and, and a lot of it was because of internal us determination by the national security community that they needed to, to expand and basically, ultimately to contain russia. and now were standing in the all that the united states was in agreement with the idea of indivisible

security for eastern west. that is that they, they, they agreed that one side would not strengthen against the other. and there were 6 basic agreements to that effect. many of them were assigned going, going back to the helsinki final act of 1975, the 1990 charter of, of paris for, for, for the, a new europe. all of these and more and there and in the united states was a party to those agreements of not to expand nato to, to the russian border. yet, all the while it was planned to do that. and that's precisely what it did. and now, worse and now because it's the end of the cold war, since the end of the cold war, i should say, nano has been groping for a new awareness of itself. what is it supposed to do? because the cold war was over?

so why don't we just go ahead and go ahead and expand. i think it's expanded at least 5 to 67 times in during the, during the 90s in 222 in the 2000. and now we're seeing that nato is looking for a new agenda, and we saw it just very recently in their closing statements up there now and not only clearing the arctic, but also china as something to keep an eye on. so this is, this is all been planned for quite some time, and this is obviously repeatedly warned nato about the red lines regarding threats to its border. it appears that those warnings have been completely ignored. totally . and we saw that in, over the years, people were warning that by encroaching like this, by expanding a nato,

which was considered to be a rather aggressive move, particularly by russia, that russia just had nowhere else to go. and that might add that the ukraine when they came in as an independent country, back in 1990, under its declaration of state sovereignty of the of ukraine. it agreed that it would remain non alive. but because the nato forces, even after we, we bail out of afghanistan, we had, we had u. s. a defense, lloyd austin, going to georgia, going to ukraine once again, just to stoke the and work with and work with ukraine with military exercises. and you and ukraine said it would. it wanted to join nato. well, that was a total totally opposite of what ultimately happened. and now we're seeing that the

disastrous results and, and russia has, had, had made it clear this latest last december, in, in, in statements to the united states. you know, the state, i don't think the europeans would have done what they, what has now occurred. if it weren't for the united states and the neocons with the a conservative within the u. s. government pushing, pushing, pushing this agenda and trying to take advantage of it. probably thinking that nothing whatever that russia would never do what ultimately happens, right? so, so what role do you say, nate? so in light of the house, in this current conflicts with ukraine. oh, i think they had a lot to do with it. but again, it based upon us pressure as the so called leader of the, of the so called free we're world. and the, and you heard biden when he 1st came in the office that he was there, that the united states was back in later. and this was in this got stolen burke

then to perpetuate this notion and get and breathed new life and that nato, as us as an alliance itself, to push this agenda and thereby create the problems that we now see today. michael muller from i forgot to leave it there. thats my comalla, former senior security policy analyst of the u. s. secretary of defense. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts today on that. recent statement by the nato leader. thanks so much would during the shanghai corporation organization summit to nurse becky, done this week, vladimir putin blamed western powers for manipulating ukraine to fight against russia. in the british, in the city for decades, the west has been cultivating an idea of destroying the soviet union and then russia. they've always wanted to see our country disintegrated. now they've started using ukraine to achieve that goal. for this week, vladimir putin met with the leaders of china. iran, india,

pakistan on turkey. moscow agreed to sell russian natural gas to ankara with 25 percent of the payments to be made in roubles. but it also slammed the you saying that the block lifted sanctions on russian fertilizer exports only to ignore the needs of developing countries and called russian indian relations are particularly privileged strategic partnership with more key points from the, from it's his maria phenomena. but 2022 asked the summit. the biggest in the shanghai corporation organization is more than 20 year history has been called a historic 1. 14 world leaders from the origin region have gathered here and it was breakfast on summer cons to discuss a new world order that they now witnessed emerging as the west seems to canada lose its influence and trust globally. the voice of non western centric alliances like the s c o is louder than average. the food crisis is among the key problems address

. you're in the summit and some conde global supply chains from the panoramic and the ukraine. crisis of course, disruptions in global supply chains. as a result, the entire world was facing an unprecedented food and energy crisis. the s c o mastic efforts to develop reliable, resilient, and diversified supply chains in our region for this, but to connectivity is no doubt needed. but at the same time, it is also important that we give each other full transit rights. not only as c o countries as some of the world's largest grain producers and exporters have addressed the problem. but say they're ready to offer a solution, catch up, but message rushes increasing great exports the world markets this year will be 30000000 tons. next year. we will increase it to 50000000 tons. 90 percent of our food goes to the markets of asia, africa, and latin america. we know how important fertilizes are for solving the food shortage. the day before yesterday, i also informed mr. gutierrez about the 300000 tons of russian fertilizers piled up in

e. you see ports were ready to transfer that free of charge to developing countries . i would like to ask you and secretariat to influence the european commissions decision, not in words, but in deeds to demand from their colleagues in the european commission that they lift these obviously discriminatory restrictions on developing countries and provide access for russian fertilizers to those markinson in the summer, the final document, the sci declares economic sanctions is not imposed by the un security council, are incompatible with the principles of international law. 14 has denounced the restrictions as economic selfishness, yet keeping it, if it were striking example of the selfishness if european commission decision to look sanctions on rushing fertilizers, it turns out that only they can by our fertilizer. and what about the world for his country has over, although often referred to as an anti west alliance. the assay, all claims to not be against any other country,

a block. but that doesn't mean it is without enemies. should the jewish and as the world is entering a new turbulent phase, we must cross the trends of the time, strengthened, solidarity, and co operation, and contribute to building a closer s c o community. with a common future, we must support each other to ensure security and development, prevent external forces from inciting color revolutions and jointly oppose interference in the internal affairs of other countries under any pretext. iran is getting ready to become the nines member, said nan prove it. shares, yes, your family's values, follow you out here in recent years, economic and political much let religion has been serious, threatened and the american government is trying to impulse its entire demands and laws on the nation community and contravene sovereignty and independence with all its pulling and has to prove the extensive use of completion when it's agenda on oddly, american unilateralism seeks to hold countries back from the independent path of development. today they had high corporation organisation unites 20 countries with a combined population of 3 and

a half 1000000000 people. that is half of the world. with 5 more states, including 3 arab countries now announce to be soon joining the seo. the alliance is fortunate had to become global superpower, that simply cannot be ignored. regional tional r t from someone account, it was a becky and continuing with the weekly here on our tea. india has been the export of broken rice, which is used to make starch and rice slower, and in attempt to protect its domestic market. however, it is feared the move will likely drive up the price of ordinary rice on international markets with all the details of his are these runjun sharma. it's already been the export to wheat. and now the indian government has put a blanket ban on exports of broken rice. additionally, a 20 percent duty is also being placed on the export of all non boss maddie mal

rice, barring to premier, were i tease the soil, comes into effect after the 15th of september. when this no deviation came on, if evening, lot of consignments were already either emerald ordered under preparation, and they were ready to move to the ports. we estimate that it on the $5.00 to $7.00 electron, sir, would have been under this sir kind of situation. so its a huge damage because they will all get stuck and all the heavy duty burn the concerns are back to the government, blamed and abnormal increase in exports and said it's more was to control domestic food inflation in the abandoned exports because it had less talk or wheat and rice following an unexpected crop failure. moreover, rice producing states of india such as been job arianna, be har, an order for dish sol. week monsoon,

the c r and that's disrupted and destroyed. crop yields. india exports rise to more than $150.00 countries. and broken, rise to all was 75 asked for experts. the sudden halt in overseas shipments could mean an upward trend in food prices disrupting the global supply chain. the move by india, which accounts for 40 percent of the global rise trade is expected to father put pressure on countries that are already struggling with soaring food inflation and worsening food crisis. due to extreme weather patterns, heat ways, and the conflict in ukraine, hulu. girl at baynes from covey or a 2020 india was the only country richer maintained its exports, did not receive. if you look at thailand, they're 60 the export for something vietnam restricted. so what happened in dylan is that the whole world started looking at india for supplies. this fight called

c s t o chiefs are expected to handle in both cases the solution lies in the diplomatic, not military plane says the russian general leading c s t o special mission in armenia. as long as the shortest are, today's task was to visit the territories where the clashes took place, where the armenian positions were subjected to fire damage, which us we try to be as objective as possible. it is written in the s harder of the collective security treaty itself, that priorities are given to political and diplomatic methods. with mixing money, we try to resolve issues peacefully as much as possible with rushes push for the new global order of affairs. international organizations face new challenges, inevitable transformations. and the latest stress test, the collective security treaty organization is going through, might mean that the block, too, is not immune from change. hamburgers, dawn of reporting from armenia. archie. well those are the new stories that shaped
