almost destroy. so i was very lucky not to get hurt. it was a very weird attack because besides me and another person show an administrator, there was nobody else there. earlier during check in the girl, the front desk mistook me for an officer due to the way i looked. i showed her my documents and she registered me. there were no military on the territory near below you. early on saturday, another deadly attack by key of was reported in the daniel people's republic. a warning you may find the following: images disturbing. ah, the footage from done yet shows some of the victims and the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of shelling over 4 hours. local authorities have reported. 4 people killed and 8 injured fragments of french howitzer. shells found that the scene, or correspondent there got caught in the incoming fire while reporting on location

of ukrainian forces resumed their shelley 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. hey josh. good. what them the who is it we're done with all of us is on my cell phone here. when he didn't on friday, another round of shelling hit her song in southeastern ukraine for people died when the city center was targeted. with at least 5 us supplied high marks. rockets that's according to rocket russian back authorities. son, verified footage behind me appears to show locals running from that last 13 people

were initially reported wounded. one of whom later died in the hospital. rockets struck the regional administration building during a meeting between officials. the head of the local labor department was wounded while her driver was killed. g f has claimed responsibility for this attack, calling it legitimate alongside the shelling. increasing numbers of civilians are being injured by so called butterfly or pedal land mines which are intended to mame and dismember people. artes roman culture have sent us this report from the city of diets. artillery is not the only danger. facing the people here in done nets, ukrainian army have also been using so cold pets. old mines, old butterfly mines against the civilians here in de nest. this is what they look like. completely a noticeable to the naked eye. and if a person's steps on this mine, it will make that person full. i how 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 was that 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, you should never pick them up. you should immediately called the emergency services . this mine is designed to creep old 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 mud. a lot of snow at me that these tiny mines

will be completely unnoticeable. and that also means that doctors at this promise sensor will have a lot more work. ruben call for of artsy, done as people's republic. hungry is prime minister has compared e, you anti rushes sanctions to energy, midgets imposing sanctions on an energy giant. that's after the european parliament stated that the country can't be considered quote, a full democracy. archie contributed 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, to 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 ranked 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 laws, backsliding and hungary, the report sites, a range of issues from academic and religious freedom to, nor to rights,

but also judicial and electoral independence. the report could have literally been written about ukraine, yet the e u, and it would have been flattering yet the you desperately wants to shoehorn ukraine into the you. he 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 war insides. 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. first, 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. 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 his hearing to and promote a this globalist agenda. and when that particular box is techs,

everything else apparently takes a backseat. the head of nato's military committee has admitted that the alliance began planning to expand near russia's borders several years ago. the statement comes after nato leaders agreed on a significant build up of its forces on its eastern flank by 2023 or 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 block plans to increase the number of hyler forces on its eastern flank to more than 300000 in the near future. and nato countries have pledged to increase defense spending. that despite russia demanding the block stop expanding to the east and key of be excluded from the alliance, while ukraine is not a member state of nato, the alliance has been

a key player in key evs ongoing conflict with russia. michael maloof is a former senior security policy analyst for the u. s. secretary of defense and he believes it was washington's decision to break the principle of nato 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. 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 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 happens. meanwhile, protestors have gathered in paris to call for the resignation of the french president and an end to sanctions against russia that have seen e. u. energy prices skyrocket. but we'd buy a poll that showed support for sanctions declining the demonstration called for microns removal. and for france to leave both you and nato against sanctions and also against any rationing which is completely useless and stem from sanction from the war. wage finding. nature has been waiting various was the decade and i have long wanted us to leave it so that we can find the sanction. these are connected to the loss of our energy complex. our energy supplied service which has been destroy,

find the you. we are again freshening in believing nato and leaving the year. we are simply serving a permanent war lavonne day. and by the way, one that we want to look for ways to reduce attention may said, 1st of all, this is a demonstration for peace in ukraine in europe. it is also a demonstration for a patriotic cause, because patriots are of, of all, for throwing off the yoke of the european union and nato. now they are talking about inflation associated with the energy crisis. reduction of heating to 1900 degrees and other measures are the consequences of sanctions that our government has introduced us initially. we were against the thanks. and of course, we now are also against the consequences of sanctions during the shanghai cooperation organization submitted and was becca stand this week. vladimir putin blamed western powers for manipulating ukraine to fight against russia. and if there's any difficulty 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. the 3, a lot of our potent met with the leaders of china, iran, india, pakistan, and turkey. moscow agreed to sell russia natural gas to ankara with 25 percent of the payments to be made and rubles, couldn't also slammed the you saying the block lifted sanctions on russian fertilizer exports only to ignore the needs of developing countries. he also called russian indian relations, a particularly privileged strategic partnership with more key points from the summit years. maria financial, the 2022 summit, the biggest in the shanghai corporation organization is more than 20 year history has been called a historic 1. 14 world leader is from the origin region have gathered here, and it was becky stones, summer cons. to discuss a new world order that they now witness emerging as the west seems to tattler,

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 chains. with 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 diversify supply chain 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 asi our countries, as some of the world's largest grain producers and exporters have addressed the problem. let's say they're ready to offer a solution ketchel, but me to rush is increasing great exports 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, we are 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 markets. as well, and 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 is 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 times of strength and 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 9 member states. man, prove it shares. yes. your family's values. are you out here in recent years, economic and political multilateralism? has it been syria threatened, and the american government is trying to impulse isn't on demands and loss 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, but simply cannot be ignored. regional tional r t from someone account, it was a becky on the india has banned the export of broken rights, which is often used to make starch and rice flour, in an effort to protect its domestic food market. however, it's feared the move will likely drive up the price of ordinary rice on international markets. all the details on that story. here's our t's room, june sean. 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 maddy, 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 en route ordered under preparation, and they were ready to move to the ports. we estimate that it on bo $5.00 to $7.00 like guns, or would have been under this sir. kind of situation. so it's a huge damage because they will all get stuck, and now they have to return the concerns of 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. 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 to look her at times from cali to uh, 2020 india was the only country video maintained its exports did not rest. if you look at thailand, this 60, the export for something vietnam,

a 60. so what happened into them is that the whole world started looking at india for someplace, this fight covey. i would exclude serviced. so that records of you know, i know going to be then feed and food security across the way. we'll get dental rocha, rice ease, essentially. fragments arise green, broken into feel during fonts. would 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 supply of rise 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 dominate. we countries that hasn't changed, that's according to american tv anchor tucker carlson, who added that countries like india have failed to build on british colonial rule. naturally, those comments sparked public outrage awe 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 colonial is built. no,

sadly it has not. not won. 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 ah. over 200 armenian and azerbaijan e troops died and clashes this week. that's according to new figures from both countries, and that's also after the deadliest border incident between bako in yerevan. since the 2020 conflict. armenia says azerbaijan, he enforces attacked settlements inside its borders and targeted civilian infrastructure with locals,

de escalate. the conflict of c s t o. monitoring mission arrived in armenia earlier with more details on that mission. r t correspondent, eagerness donna reports from their generals of the c. s t o alliance have their hands full lately. secret maps or route chills are packed with confidential meetings. security crises between former soviet republics are putting the block to the test. so mean as a case out there by john katherine was over 30 right now. we're following a specialty of view monitoring with some of the representatives with themselves armenian desert by john share a decades long mutual animosity in 2020, transcended into a full out war in the going a car back a breaker. we're region predominantly populated by armenians, that azerbaijan 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 armenian desert 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 while 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. last, 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 diplomatic, not military plane, says the russian general leading c t o special mission in armenia as long as of the shortest or today's task was to visit the territories where the clashes took place where the armenian positions were subjected to fire damage,

which 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. we. 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. that's all for this our stick around for more news and just about 30 minutes. 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 mostly i'm going to resist. i don't see how

that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah ah mm mm mm. welcome to wells far back in 1955. when they saw me later, nikita khrushchev was visiting in did he told piece 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 the
