is constantly robbed by political and corruption scandals. oh, but it didn't stop mo, google obtaining you turn to the truth is in 2022. ah, it's because they still say ukrainian force is a shilling pavilion areas where the u. s. applied high mom located here from a journalist who was on a local hotel when it came under fire. it seems that our hotel had been purposely targeted. it was almost empty. the talk was very weird because besides me, there was only one other person, an administrator. there was no military on the premises and everything condemns the west. thank. it's been cultivating the idea of destroying brush up a decade. and it's using ukraine as opposed 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. one person has been killed and 2 others wounded in ukrainian shelling of a village in russia's belgrade region. that's according to local authorities. well that sounds official from the la guns people's republic report news, trying on the town of spots of a saying cabs forces launched multiple rockets from a us applied time on system. we heard from a journalist who was staying at the local hotel when i came under fire. thank you, sir. so 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, an administrator, maryland. there was nobody else earlier during check in the girl at 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. ali saturday, another deadly it's hot by cave was reported in the don't yet. people's republic. a warning he might find, the following image is upsetting. hello. will this message from dani ask? so some of the victims, the, and the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of shelling of a 4 hours. local authorities have reported. 4 people were killed and 8 wounded with fragments of french. how is the shells found at 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. there hope so far been 6 rounds of shalimar and it's currently ongoing. sh, inclusive group work from the washington. we're done with us machine several here with me while in southeastern ukraine. the city of cas song has been targeted by 6 high mars rockets . but local authorities say all of them have been repelled by air defenses. these on verified image is posted by eye witness to show moments softer. rockets were fired into the city. most of the defense ministry recently said that he has failed in his attempt at an offensive and the care on region. as the ukrainian military

lost more than a 150 troops there. early on friday, there was another round of selling, taking care of san 4 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 as an verified. so teach appears to show locals running from the blast. 13 people were initially reported wounded, one of whom later died in 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. t s has claimed responsibility for the attack calling get to legitimate alongside the selling increasing numbers of civilians being wounded by so called butterfly or pestle land mines, which are intended to main and dismember. artes women cars are of centers this report from the city of don. yes. artillery is not the only danger. facing the people here in done nest. ukrainian army have also been using so called pets,

old mines, or 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 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 are 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,

they're warding 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 can 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 explosion, the me in the 2nd of damages element is assholes or soil. these elements of the skin and sub thermal 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 with good and this is much more frightening. ukrainian nationalists continue shelling of the city of the

nads not only with heavy artillery butts with these so called betel mines as well. the weather here is that changing right now as well? that means we're about to get a lot of mud. a lot of snow at me said these tiny 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 teeth. don't ask people's republic, a psychological barrier due to it's not see past, that's what the cranes, president lensky has said 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 world war 2. i think it's quite the opposite. german hardware is now helping us. it saved 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 of not becoming overly involved in foreign conflicts. 1000 that's included, not sending lethal weapons toward zones. germany has now decided to abandon that policy, having supplied about 700000000 euros worth of military equipment to ukraine so far this year. but the landscape, they did not enough. and those remarks have had a mixed reaction in berlin with german officials pointing out that other nato countries have also limited their scope of assistance to care if no country has delivered western build infantry fighting the coast or main battle tanks. so far, we have agreed with our partners that germany will not take such action unilaterally. author and former british diplomat to william melanson say it appears unlikely that germany would cave in to the landscape, demands as berlin will probably refrain from sending its most modern tongue sticky . 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 would be considered as a major escalation. i'd be surprised that they will continue to send arms to keep the whole thing going as long as possible. i think that's what they'll do. i'm not convinced that we'll see for arms and let the tanks directly, then i think they'd be frightened to do that. and as a love that just said, no country is yet been that far. the biggest danger. now if you're american, 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 the roof, collapsing is the earthquake struck. it was registered at magnitude $6.00 and raised concerns of phenomena elsewhere in the region. risky workers have been 15 through

dave, are you looking for anyone who might require medical assistance from person has been confirmed dead authorities of warrant locals to remain alerts in case of potential off the shocks the during the sun car cooperation organization. so my name is becky sand. this week. vladimir putin blamed western powers for manipulating ukraine to fight against russia. the partition in the 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 to 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, rush and fertilizers,

while ignoring the needs of developing countries and person call the russian indian relations. they 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 leaders from the origin region have gathered here and it was becky stunned summer cons to discuss a new world order that they now witness emerging as the west seems to had 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 of 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 se are 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 muted russia's increasing great exports. world markets this year will be $30000000.00 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 shorter change. the day before yesterday, i also informed mr. hoo terrace. about the 300000 tons of russian fertilizers piled up in e u. c. 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 commission decisions which are not in words,

but indeed 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, the sci 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 give it a miracle. striking example of this selfishness is your pin commission's decision to lift sanctions on russian fertilizers. if it turns out that only they can buy our fertilizer to sort of and would 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 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 yet 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 entire demands and loss 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 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

for jenna had to become global superpower. that simply cannot be ignored. regional tional r t from someone account, it was a becky song protested to take into the streets in all day over demanding the resignation of the western bank. presidents, maya, sunday with a flame has a sky rocketing energy prices. concept demonstrate because gathered outside the presidential palace expressing our wages or lack of energy for heating, sometimes that the sun should be close to what for firewood, a former public mendoza has long been divided between traditional allegiances to moscow and a push by senior politicians will close at times with the as, as any good sizes that has been surging due to the western sanctions against russian fuel. in course the sunday mach 75 years since the creation of the main u. s. foreign intelligence agency, the c i o correspondent 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 thing 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 see, i director, we live, which it, it was the thought like we, we had, 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 or 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 and 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 period, 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 struggle throughout the nineties and up to $911.00. to collect intelligence on and analyze the phenomenon of trust, national terrorism, the combination of an overwhelming number of priorities for budgets. and now it's

know, the structure and bureaucratic rivalries resulted in insufficient response to this new challenge. but surprise, surprise, the us 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 a dentist and 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 terrorists. and the ca will have very few american spies on the ground to assess that thread. be it solid. been logged in with his archive or the taliban and it's 2021 resurgence. it's widely seeing that washington is still dealing with the consequences of how the c i a flooded of ghana stand with weapons in cash in the 1980s. all to try and deal the soviet union

a fatal blow. i had a $1000000000.00 a year. i had a new weaponry. i had $250000.00, more or less fall 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 contrast in nicaragua to claims of widespread portrait in secret prisons all around the world. and then he can physically american legislation, bands, human torture, but only on us oratory. 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 over. oh, what a reputation. sadly, that even makes you want to replace the word intelligence in the name, with a few other words full to report her. marcia 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 collecting international norms and laws. this policy is hedge, a monic life and aggressive towards other countries. well, happy birthday cia. the head of nato's military committee has admitted that the alliance began planning to expands near russian board is that several years ago. the statement comes often nato leaders agreed on a significant build up of forces in his eastern 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 block plans to increase the number of high alert forces on its east and borders to more than 300000 in the near future. and nato countries have pledge to increase that offense spending, as despite russia demanding the block stop expanding to the east and key if be excluded from the alliance. while ukraine is not a member of nato, the alliance has been a key player and key abs, ongoing conflict with russian. michael maloof, a former senior security policy analyst for the u. s. secretary of defense, believe it was washington's 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 it just very recently in their closing statements up there now, and not only clothing 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 pushy pushing this agenda and trying to take advantage of it. probably thinking that nothing whatever that russia would never do. what ultimately happens, we will protest is of gathering power to call for the resignation of frances presidents and an end to sanctions against russia that have called you. and if you find this is cyro boyd by a recent poll that showed declining support for the sanction for demonstration

calls from mac, from removal. and for from to me spoke to you and say thank you again, sanctions against any rationing which is from sanction or from the war wage findings. nato has been waging various was the decade, and i have long wanted us to need it so that we can find sanction that connected to the last of our energy complex, our energy services which has been destroyed by the union. we're against rationing in believing name to the serving of permanent war syllable. then by the way, we want to look for ways to reduce it. mention may not. first of all, this is a demonstration for peace in ukraine in europe. it is also a demonstration for a patriotic cause. patriots are of all was were throwing off the yoke of european union and they don't, you know, 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 and we were against the sanction. of course, we now are also against the consequences of sanctions. russia on the us have been preparing for an upcoming launch to the international space station under a need new deal that has kept time between the countries. the crucial scientific with that a nasa delegation arrived at the russian operated by can cause majority impacts down on sunday, 3 days ahead of the scheduled launch. have to rush and cause we know it's ok. so again, pro copy of anthony sheet patel and one american national with frank rubia. listen to the new cross flights agreement whereby both russia in the us host launch is the of multinational crews to the orbiting laboratory and other russian cosmonaut. akina is also expected to bloss dolphin, a u. s. spacecraft or under the new dale. well, for 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 and i'll see international

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 on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with

ah, with me. hello and welcome to wells far back in 1955. when they saw me later, nikita khrushchev was visiting india. he told his host that most new delhi were so most that if the indians were to call 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 upheavals and times divergence. interesting. what keeps 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 as they observe a research foundation in india. 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 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 february. well, let's talk about that in more. yeah. so this diversion use on conflict and there is no escaping defined.
