i showed a man, the toner, so that's what african as up middleton. i said she had to say about them. i was where the national focus on is that a ukrainian forces, a shilling civilian areas where the u. s. applied high mom located here from a journalist who was on a local hotel when it came on, the fire with our hotel had been purposely targeted. it was almost empty. the task was very weird because besides me, there was only one other person room and administrators. there was no military on the premises that american condemned the west saying it's been cultivating the idea of destroying a decade. and if you think ukraine as a pole to achieve that goal, a breakdown of democracy,

that's the european parliament assessment of hungary. it says the country can no longer be considered a full democracy. a welcome. this is the weekly, here are not the international with the latest world news updates, along with around with the stories the shapes, the week is good to happy with her. and we begin with news from the latest on the conflicts in ukraine on past and has been killed and 2 others wounded in ukrainian shelling of a village in russia's belt region. that's according to local authorities. without sounds official from the la guns people's republic report new strikes on the town of spots of a thank here. this 4th is launched multiple ra kids from a u. s. applied time on system. we heard from a journalist who was staying at the local hotel when it came on the fire. thank you, sir, for sure. within an hour there was a strike and then just a few minutes later, a 2nd one. it seemed that our hotel had been purposely targeted,

but it was almost empty. it was severely damaged in the attack. almost destroyed was so i was very lucky. i'm okay. the attack was very weird because besides me, there was only one other person and administrator maryland. there was nobody else earlier during check in the girl. the front desk mistook me for an officer because of the way i look here. i showed her my documents and she registered me. there was no military on the premises on your way, early saturday, another deadly. it's hot by cave was supported. any don't yet people's republic. a warning he might find the following image is upsetting. hello. will this message from don? yes. so some of the victims, the, and the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of shelling over 4 hours. local authorities have reported. 4 people were killed and 8 wounded with fragments of french. how is the shells found? the c. o correspondent there got caught in the incoming fire while reporting on location with ukrainian forces resumed their showing on saturday. we can see an

injured woman here who's getting medical help right now. this is in the city center . their hope so far been 6 rounds of shalimar and it's currently ongoing. sh with group work from the washington were bomber bob is on machine several here with me mon, in southeastern ukraine. the city of console has been targeted by 6 high mars rockets. but local authorities say all of them have been repelled by air defenses. these on verified images posted by eye witnesses show moment softer. rockets were fired into the city russians. defense ministry recently said that kia failed in his attempt at an offensive in the castle region. as the ukrainian military lost more

than a 150 troops there. early on friday there was another round of shell ink hitting care song for people were killed when the city center was targeted with at least 5 hyman's rockets. according to the authorities there. a warning again, you may find the following image is disturbing, isn't verified, so teach appears to. so locals running from the blast. 13 paper were initially reported wounded, one of whom later died in hospital rocket struck the regional administration building during a meeting between officials. the head of the local labor department was wounded while have driver was killed. he f has claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it to legitimate alongside the selling increasing number of civilians and being wounded by so called butterfly or petal. land mines which are intended to main and dismember, are, sees women cause we have sent his this report from the city of dun yeske. artillery is not the only danger. facing the people here in the nest. 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 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 or limbs, people's lives 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. they are awarding 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 certain people get very serious injuries when they come into contact with these objects. often their feet get torn offers, which in this mind is dangerous because during the logins me and the secondary damages element is assholes or soil or yes, these elements of the skin and sub normal muscles. sheila, in you should never pick them up. you should immediately called the emergency services, least mine is designed to refold people with not to kill them literally. and this

is much more frightening. ukrainian nationalists continue the shelling of the city of the nads not only with heavy artillery butts 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, a psychological barrier due to it's not see past, that's what the cranes president, the landscape, and about germany supposedly not supplying enough military hardware to care, they have a certain psychological barrier over sending have you weaponry. but i think it's some internal problem. i don't think this is like, will war to? i think it's quite the opposite. german hardware is now helping us. it saving our lives. i understand what they are afraid of, but you don't have to search for

a reason when you want to truly help people. well, since world war 2, germany has tried to maintain a policy, you know, it's becoming overly involved in foreign conflicts. that's included, no sending lethal weapons to woodson. germany has not decided to abandon that policy having supplied about 700000000 euros worth of military equipment to ukraine so far this year. but the landscape say there's not enough. and those remarks have had a mixed reaction in berlin with german officials pointing out that other nato countries have also limited scope of assistance to k. s. no country has delivered western build infantry fighting vehicles or main battle tanks so far. we have agreed with our partners that germany will not take such action unilaterally. author and former british diplomats william mullins and said it appears unlikely that germany would cave into the landscape demands. as burley will probably refrain from sending its most modern tongues stick, if i don't think the german government would want to over irritate the russian

government, because there are lots of steps that russia could take against germany. if that were to happen, i think germany then would have to side back. i would be very surprised if they get that far because that will be considered as a major escalation. i'd be surprised that they will continue to send to keep the whole thing going. as long as possible, i think that's what they'll do. i'm not convinced them they're super arms and let them tags directly there. i think they'd be frightened to do that. and as a love that just said no country has yet been that far. the biggest change and now american new where it in long distance weapons taiwan has been rattled by a powerful earthquake, leaving victims trapped in the rubble of collapse. buildings. this video shows a roof collapsing is the earthquake struck with registered at magnitude 6.9 and

raised concerns of a post elsewhere in the region. risky workers have been 15. 30. dave, are you looking for anyone who might require medical assistance? one person has been confirmed said, authorities of warns locals to remain alerts in case of potential off the shop. during the shankar cooperation organization, so my name is becky sam. this week vladimir putin blamed western powers for manipulating ukraine to fight against russia. in if there's any new city for decades, the west has been cultivating an idea of a straw in 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. that's where we're picking. met with the leaders of china, iran, india, pakistan, and turkey. and a key deal. russia has agreed to sell natural gas, the turkey with 25 percent of the payments to be made in roubles. who can also slammed the using the block lifting sanctions to enable its own member states to

import russian 1st life as, while ignoring the needs of developing countries and post in core, the russian indian relations, a particularly privilege strategic partnership with more key points from the summit his author, maria, the notion of the 2022 as c o 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's tons, summer cons to discuss a new world order that they now witnessed, emerging as the west seems to be chatted, a, lose its influence and trust globally. the voice of non western centric alliances like the seo is louder than advert. the food crisis is among the key problems addressed during the summer and summer con global supply chain. some of 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 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 asi our countries, as some of the world's largest grain producers and exporters have addressed the problem that say they're ready to offer a solution ketchel, but me to, to rushes, increasing great exports. world markets this year will be $30000000.00 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. that is, we know how important fertilizers are for solving the food shortage. during the day before yesterday, i also informed mr. hu terrace, 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 decisions which

are not in words, but indeed seem to demand from their colleagues and the european commission that they lift these obviously discriminatory restrictions on developing countries from and provide access for russian fertilizer city to those markets as well in the summits final document yessir, declares economic sanctions. if not imposed by the un security council are incompatible with the principles of international law. putting 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. if it turns out that only they can by our fertilizers. and what about the world's poorest countries? who were, 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 time help strengthen solidarity and co operation,

and contribute to building a closer s c o community. with a common future guardian, 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. say 9 prove is shared. yes, your family's values are you out here in recent years, economic and political much let's religion has been syria threatening. and the american government is trying to impulse its internal demands and laws on the nation community and contravene sovereignty and independence with all its pulling and has to do the extensive use of completion when it's agenda. and oddly, american unilateralism unit seeks to hold countries back on 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

for jenna had to become global superpower. that simply cannot be ignored. regional tional r t from someone account, it was a becky on protest to take into the streets in all day over demanding the resignation of the western vice president maya sunday with a flame has a sky rocketing energy prices concept demonstrate because gathered outside the presidential palace expressing outrage as were lack of energy for heating, some songs that the sunday should be close. what for firewood? a former public html has long been divided between traditional allegiances to moscow. and the push by senior politicians will close at times with the as, as energy prices that has been searching due to the western sanctions against rushing fuel import the sunday mach 75 years since the creation of the main u. s. foreign intelligence agency, the c i o correspondence,

aicpa tranquil, takes a closer look at the agencies, often controversial track record. just how old is what supposedly the world's most powerful intelligence force. it may seem, the cia should date back to the early years of the u. s. itself, but in fact, it's even younger than the man who's currently president. the agency only appeared after world war 2 and failed at what was most expected of it back in the days to predict the conception of the 1st soviet nuclear weapon. time to flick through the archives ruth on the basis of the evidence now in our possession, it is estimated that the earliest date by which it is remotely possible that the ussr may have completed its 1st atomic bomb is mid 1950. but the most probable date

is believed to be mid 1953. the words of one of the 1st central intelligence directors from 1948 silenced by the sound of the soviet union's 1st nuclear bomb test. in 1949, as the agency celebrates his anniversary, veterans will probably speak of their own glory, like former director mike compared did a few years ago. i was the c i director, we live, which it, it was the hostile. it's like we, we had entire, entire training courses if it remind you of the glory of the american experiment, the word glory next to lying, cheating and stealing, perhaps that sounds okay. if your head of the cia glory i was through throughout its history, the cia had multiple failures and has also been shaken by large number of scandals

and disclosures. surround the operations, it has conducted a significant number of these operations were attempts to topple legitimate governments, heads of states, both successful and unsuccessful. what's more glorious, a rather long list of the agencies, mistakes or cases when it was involved in some of the. busy worlds nastiest practices, nothing to do with america security going back to failures, sticking to nukes. the next thing that comes to mind is how the c, i initially didn't expect soviet warheads at americas doorstep in cuba. we all know how they got that one terribly wrong. staying with the 19 sixties and cuba, the failed bay of pigs invasion should rang a few bells. events that turned out to be a surprise for the agency include the 1973 young key, poor war in the middle east, or the 1979 revolution in iran. the 70s, the late seventies,

were high point for the soviet union. the you, us was in terrible state, i think after after the combined setbacks of the being run out of southeast asia, soviet influence in africa and angola with through their cuban clients was growing . and then we moved into 19, we went through the carter period, which was a long period for ca. beyond that supposed low periods, even the breakup of the soviet union in 1991, came out of the blue for langley. but most notably the see i couldn't predict and prevent 911. the intelligence community struggles throughout the nineties and up to 911, to collect intelligence on and analyze the phenomenon of trust national terrorism. the combination of an overwhelming number of priorities fled budgets and outmoded

structure and bureaucratic rivalries, resulted in insufficient response to this new challenge. but surprise, surprise, the u. s. intelligence said they found weapons of mass destruction in iraq. oops, deliberate or not. that was a mistake too. and moving on to the most recent past. oh, that's painful. what did the c i do about the taliban resurrecting in afghanistan. last year. we're back to where we were 25 years ago. afghan gorillas have defeated a superpower and made their country and inviting hostile for a new generation of aspiring terrace. and the cia will have very few american spies on the ground to assess that threat. bid o sallow been logged in with his al qaeda or the taliban and it's 2021 resurgence. it's widely seen that washington is still dealing with the consequences of how the c i a flood of ghana stand with weapons in cash in the 1980s. all to try and deal

the soviet union a fatal blow. i have a $1000000000.00 the you heads, new weapon. i had $250000.00, more or less full and part time afghans willing to stand up and fight. but there are many more archive pages to be flipped through. the scope of controversies the agency has been subject of is truly impressive. ranging from allegations of drug trafficking, when backing the anti communist contrasts in nicaragua to claims of widespread torture in secret prisons all around the world. a medical physical american legislation bans human torture, but only on u. s. territory. subsequently, there is no american law. the forbids using these measures outside of the us. these measures include experiments on people using various medications, hypnosis and other physical impacts. naturally,

these are issues that should not be a part of intelligence agencies, scope of activity. oh, what a reputation. sadly, it even makes you want to replace the word intelligence in the name where the few other words, food, superhero, movies. yeah, he has performed functions throughout the past decades that show it is not purely an intelligence agency, but an instrument of the u. s. aggressively imposing its policy and neglecting international norms and laws. this policy is hedge, a monic life and aggressive towards other countries. it's is well, happy birthday cia. the head of nathan military committee has admitted that the alliance began planning to expands near russian board is several years ago. the statement comes off, the nato need is agreed on a significant build up of forces in east ethan territories within the next year. due to the ukraine conflict. we're talking about the biggest overhaul of our

military structures. since 1949, the planning for that started several years ago. but now we're implementing it. the blog plans to increase the number of high alert 4th is on a east and borders to more than 300000 in the near future. and nato countries of pledge to increase that offense, spending spine, russia, demanding the block, stop expanding to the east, and can be excluded from the alliance. while ukraine is not a member of nato, the alliance has been a key player in kiev. ongoing conflict with russian micro maloof, a former cd security policy analyst for the us secretary of defense. believe that was washington decision to break the principle of non expansion of nato 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 native is looking for a new agenda, and we saw just very recently in their 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, 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 neocons with the neo conservatives 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, we won't protest of gathering power to call for the resignation of frances presidents and an end to sanctions against russia. that of course e. u. energy prices sky rocket boy by a recent poll that showed declining support for the sanction for demonstration

schools from from removal and for from to leave you against sanctions and also against any rationing which is from sanction or from the war wage finding nato has been waiting various worlds of decades, and i have long wanted us to leave it so that we can find sanction that connected to the last of our energy complex, our energy services which has been destroy, finding you, we are against freshening in believing the serving of permanent war and by the way, we want to look for ways to reduce the pension may not. first 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 was, were throwing off the yoke of european union and needles. here. now they are talking about inflation associated with the energy crisis. reduction of heating to

19 degrees and other measures are the consequences of sanctions that our government has introduced us initially. we were against the sanctions, of course, now are also against the consequences of sanctions. russia on the u. s. have been preparing for an upcoming launch to the international space station under a need new deal that has kept ties between the countries. the crucial scientific was such a nasa delegation arrived at the russian operated by canal cosmo. drone impacts down on sunday, 3 days ahead of the scheduled launch, have to rush and cause we know it's so good. so gay pro copiers and demi she patel and and one american astronauts, frank rubia, the son to the new cross flight agreement web. i both russia and the u. s. host launch is the all multinational cruise to the orbiting laboratory and other russian cosmonaut anna kina is also expected to bloss dolphin, a u. s. spacecraft under the new dale love. oh, the latest information on that story and plenty more. you can check out our website

r t dot com. thank you for joining us here in nancy international. ah ah with ah

ah with welcome to wells far back in 1955 when the soviet liter nikita khrushchev was visiting india. he told his host that most good and you daily were so mose, that if the indians were too cold from the mountains, helps the russians would be at their side price for almost 70 years. and they, a russian engine partnership is still going strong. despite mobile. peebles and times divergence. interesting. what keep the 2 together while also pulling them apart. well to discuss that i'm now joined by mine. it may have done a senior fellow and they observe their research foundation in india. mine's 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 on the west for why some time. and i think it never before has 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, a very nuanced position on ukraine. and i don't think it had really any options at that time. in terms of indian realities, regional realities, foreign policy compulsion. i think it did the best it could and i'm talking about in 70. well, let's talk about that in more. yeah. this diversion use on conflict and there is no escaping the fact.
