a showed a man that owners so often as up morocco said she had the same it about them. i was was national ball now custodians or that ah, she corresponded gets caught in ukrainian shilling. i've done yet. as at least 4 people are reported killed in the latest attacks by key of forces, a breakdown of democracy, that's the assessments given by the european parliament to hungry, stating that the country can no longer be considered a full democracy. and russian president vladimir putin condemns the west claim minutes cultivated the idea of destroying russia for decades and things to use ukraine to achieve this goal

with sunday. and that means is the weekly, hey, on r c. my name is peter scotts, and here the stories is shaped the week. first, we start off with the latest form ukraine, where one person has been killed and 2 others wounded in ukrainian shelling of a village in russia's b. l good at region. that's according to local authorities, while another deadly ukrainian shilling attack was reported by authorities in done yet on saturday. a warning you may find the following images disturbing. ah, this footage from done yet. so some of the victims and the devastation caused by the 6th rounds of shelling in 4 hours. local authorities have reported 4 people were killed an 8th injured with fragments of french. how is the shells found at the scene? our car is one of their gods in got caught in incoming fire while reporting on

location with ukrainian forces resumed their shelling on saturday. we can see an injured woman here. she's getting medical help right now. this is in the city center. there have so far been 6 rounds of shelling and it's currently ongoing. sh look reward from the who is it we're done with us because i'm not sure. tell them you know, and he didn't or revisiting this week on friday. another round of selling hits had us on, in the south of ukraine for people were left at the city center was originally targeted by at least 5 us supplied high mas rockets according to russian by 2

authorities there. now 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, the head of the local labor department was wounded while her driver was killed. okay, it has claimed responsibility for the attack calling it's legitimate as well as the shelling increasing numbers of civilians are being injured by so called butterfly or petal lun minds which can lead people with life changing injuries, artists roemer cause ref. since, as this report from the city of vignettes, artillery is not the only danger facing the people here in the next ukrainian army have also been using so called 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 make 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 is 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. whole. tell me exactly what him and his staff are dealing with but a 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, the secondary damage an element is asphalt or soil. these elements, in fact the skin and sub thermal muscles 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 will heavy artillery but with these so called battle mines as well. the weather here, is it changing right now as well?

that means we're about to get a lot of 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 our t done as people's republic and continue with the weekly here on our see, the hungarian prime minister has compared you ancy, russia, sanctions to energy midgets imposing sanctions on an energy giant. that's as a u parliament early stated that hungry can be considered a full democracy. party contributes. rachel marston 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, corruption index on par with zambia, galvan and mexico. now compare 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 egregious abuses by ukraine's so called volunteer battalions, ada, 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. first, kind of a kitty table of countries that aspire to e u membership. so if you crane and hungry faced 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. then why is 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 too and promoting this global as to jetta. and when that particular box is techs, everything else apparently takes a backseat. the head of notes, those military committee has admitted the alliance, begun applying the expansion of the block near russian borders several years ago. the statement comes after nato leaders agreed on a significant buildup of his forces on his eastern flank by 2023, just the ukrainian conflict. we're talking about the biggest over whole of our military structures. since 1949. the planning for that started several years ago, but now we're implementing it. the blog plan to increase the number of high alert forces on its eastern flying to more than 300000 soldiers in the near future. and nato countries have pledged to increase defense spending as well. no, despite russian red lines demanding that the block stop expanding to the east and

not include kids in the alliance. while ukraine is not a member of nato, the international military alliance has been a key player and it's ongoing conflict with russia. michael mallos, a former senior security policy analyst of the u. s. secretary defense. he believed it was washington's decision to break the principle of nathan non expansion towards russia. 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 now we're seeing that nato is looking for a new agenda. and we saw it just very recently in there for closing statements up there now, and not only including the arctic, but also china as something to keep an eye on. and russia has, had,

had made it clear this latest last december, in, in statements to the united states, united states, 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 neo cons with neoconservatives 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 happened during the shanghai corporation organization. so my name is becky, it's done this week, but he moved to tim blamed western powers. what he claimed was manipulating ukraine to fight against russia. and if there's any, 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 earlier this week, but even per thin met with the lead to the china. iran, india, pakistan,

and turkey. moscow agreed to sell brush a natural gas on car with 25 percent of the payments to be made in rubles. meanwhile, pretty slum. and the use of the blog lifted sanctions on russian fertilizer exports only to ignore the needs of developing countries. and he called russian indian relations, a particularly privileged strategic partnership. we more key points from the film. it is maria phenomena. the 2022 s c o 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 becky's tons, summer cons to discuss a new world order that they now witness emerging as the west seems to scatter to lose its influence and trust globally. the voice of non western centric alliances like the seo is louder than average. the food crisis is among the key problems

addressed during the summer and summer canned global supply chain. the pandemic and the ukraine crisis of course, disruptions in global supply chains. as a result, the entire world is facing an unprecedented food and energy crisis. the s c o must take effort to develop reliable, resilient, and diversified supply chains in our region. for this better connectivity is no doubt needed. but at the same time, it is also important that we give each other full transit rights. not only i see our 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 ketchup, but muted rushes increasing great exports world markets. this era will be 30000000 tons. next year we will increase it to $50000000.00 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, we are ready to transfer that free of charge to developing countries. i would like to ask the un secretariat to influence the european commissions decision, not in words, but in deeds to demand from their colleagues and the european commission that they lift these obviously discriminatory restrictions on developing countries and provide access for russian fertilizers to those markets. as well in the semi final document, the ecier declares economic sanctions. if not imposed by the un security council are incompatible with the principles of international law. putin has denounced the restrictions as economic selfishness. yet keeping the striking example of this selfishness is european commission's decision to lift sanctions on russian fertilizers. it turns out that only they can, by our fertilizers. and what about the world's poorest countries sewer? although often referred to as an anti west ally and the assay all claims to not to

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 times, 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 9th member states. man, prove a shares. yes. your family's values. are you out here in recent years, economic and political much literalism has been syria threatened. and the american government is trying to impulse, its internal demands and laws on the nation community and contributes sovereignty and independence with all its pulling and has to put the extensive use of completion on its agenda. oddly, american unilateralism seeks to hold countries back from the independent path of development. today they had high corporation organizations 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 vacuous on india has been the exports of broken rice, which is often used to make starch on rice flour, nothing in attempt to protect his domestic food market. however, it is feared the move would likely drive up the price of ordinary rice on international markets with all the details. his teeth london sharma into rudy bonn, big sport 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 sport of all non boss muddy 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 at around $5.00 to $7.00 left guns would have been under this kind of situation. so it's a huge damage because they will all get stuck and now they have to return the concerns and back to the government, blamed and abnormal increase in exports and said it's more was to control domestic food inflation, india, banners 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 b har, an order for dish sol, week monsoon this year and that's disrupted and destroyed. crop yields. india

exports rise to more than $150.00 countries and broken rise to all was $75.00. as for experts, the sudden hauled 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 times from cali to a 2020 india was the only country, vito maintained its exports did not restrict if you look at poland, be restricted export or something vietnam restricted. so what happened in turn is that the whole world started looking at india for someplace this, the schools eat,

our exports serviced so badly, gods, you know, going to be then feed and food security across the way. we'll get, didn't know broken rice ease, essentially. fragment, the rise green broken into for you during font with nation drawing, all milling i know it's not defective or less nutritious. in fact, it's very popular in some of south asian countries. rook and rice and india as used primarily for ethanol production and as animal for door. and of course, for human consumption in several countries. india has been the cheapest supplier of rice in the world by a big margin which is shielded several african countries. but all that aside, the priority for new delhi for now is to boost domestic a well ability region sharma, r t arianna strong countries dominates weak countries that

hasn't changed well, according to american tv anchor tucker carlson. the popular host of the countries like india, have failed to build anything better than what was left by the british colonized as well. and surprisingly, those comments spots a public outcry. ah, today india is far more powerful than the u. k. the nation that once ruled it, and yet after 75 years of independence has that country produced a single building as beautiful as the bombay train station that the british coil is built. no, sadly, it has not, not one. mm. i

think twitter ought to have an option for something to press when you can't respond without losing your cool. funny, when i traveled all over india, the most stunning buildings i saw weren't built by the british, but by indians themselves. colonialism wrecked india. it didn't build it, so what's your point? you can invade any country as long as you could build a nice and beautiful station for the country. and finally, over 200 armenian and as a by johnny service personnel were killed this week, according to new figures from both countries. that's after the deadliest border cautious between baku and javon. since the 2020 conflicts, armenia says that as a by johnny force is a type settlements inside armenia and targeted civilian infrastructure. explosions from artillery and drone strikes were reported by armenian citizens shortly after

midnight on monday boats. buck who has rejects a di claim sentence was only targeted military installations and retaliation. full provocations from armenia. the truce between the 2 sides came into the fates on wednesday. but the situation along the border does still remain tense bond things also heating up in the armenian capital, where protesters have been trying to break down the gates of the national assembly, building and demanding that the prime minister resign crowds were, i'm good after the armenian p n bout to sign a piece deal, as many protested accused nichol passion, yon of betraying his country by appeasing as by john question yonder, reportedly told lawmakers earlier this week. the theory yvonne was about to recognise back whose territorial integrity and a future treaty considered by many as readiness to recognise as by john sovereignty over the disputed nego and cut a bus region processes also held in the armenian fifty's elements to

de escalate the conflicts a c, s t. a monetary mission arrived in armenia. early this week, more details on the mission ortiz correspondence, eager has done reports. generals of the c s t o alliance have their hands full lately, secret maps or route shed jewels are packed with confidential meetings. security crises between former soviet republics are putting the block to the test. so may i, general, catherine was of a 30 right now. we're following a specialty of feel monitoring with some of the representatives with themselves armenia and as there by john share a decades long mutual animosity in 2020, transcended into a full out war in the go and a car back a breaker. we're region predominantly populated by armenians, that as thereby john considers its own. it took the sides just over 40 days to sign

a tentative piece deal broken by russia. and lately, it looked like everything was falling apart. ah military hardware and facilities aren't the only targets in this latest clash between armenians. as there by john this very much civilian home in a front line village was shelled. just a few days ago were being told that the round hit straight and fell straight through the roof. well, at midnight, this used to be the bedroom, so only by sheer chance, by sheer luck, no one was home. and so nobody here in this household was injured, several 1000 kilometers to the east to other former soviet republics have added fuels to the flames. on paper, tajikistan and kyrgyzstan are both military allies,

both member states of the collective security treaty organization. alas, they are very re trigger happy to bowman, shoot each other over yet another territorial dispute ah ah ah, mending the ties between the 2 is yet another task. c s t o chiefs are expected to handle in both cases the solution lies in the to plan matic, not military plane, says the russian general leading c s t o special mission in armenia as well as of the shortest nar, 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 more 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 ot see what those are, the new stories the shapes the weekend on nazi international, not all from a pizza. scott's baton quarter will be here in just over 30 minutes time. i hope you're having a great weekend and thank you for watching. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,

let it be an arms race. is an offense, very dramatic and development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will successfully very difficult time to sit down and talk with the welcome to worlds apart. back in 1955, when they saw me later, nikita khrushchev was visiting india, he told peace host that most going you, daily. where so most that if the indians were to come from the mountains, helps the russians would be at their side price for an almost 70 years. and they,

a russian engine partnership is still going strong despite mobile upheavals and times divergent. interesting. what keep the 2 together while also pulling them apart? well to discuss that i'm now joined by my new chem, done a senior fellow as they observed their research foundation in debt. my great, great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. happy to be here. now, as i mentioned, india has been pursuing its path of strategic balance. been russia with the soviet union on the one hand, the west for why some time. and i think it never before hasn't been so challenging and so rewarding. but you are still arguing in favor of india reducing its reliance on russia. why is that you've been reading my pieces? well, i think it's not so much about reducing reliance on russia as it is about taking positions that are more in keeping up with

a global outlook on the nature of conflict. so i think there is a distinction to be made on the one hand, india and russia, the former soviet union have had a very strong, very deep historic relationship. and i think in the region that both countries inhabit, which is the region region, there is no question that indian need strong partners. so there is that reality. however, they specifically, in the context of, i would say 2 things. one is the invasion of ukraine in february this year, and one is a general perception that there is a kind of divergence on definitions of what democracy stands for in the west and in other parts of the world. india is kind of finding it says caught in the middle. it took a very nuance very you know, very ron, a very new and.
