ah ah ukrainian ami thought this heavy loss is it a cast on region is here twice the weeks to break through russian defences. this is the way to prepare for a referendum to join russia. moscow and key exchange prisoners of war with russian soldiers being swapped ukrainian service men, including members of the adults holly, also ahead we must mister president, treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation, south africa picket with the un general assembly excuses the west of double standards that's in the us, criticized russia,

a violating un principals on south africa. it's strengthening military cooperation with russia, with the country hosts the largest military expos on the continent. with a welcome to you at 11, i am here in moscow, and this is nancy international with the latest world news update is good to have you with us. and we begin with the latest on the conflicts in ukraine. why key? i've attempted to launch a drone attack on crimea. he's the latest ability to wear ukrainian drug was shot down by russian and defense systems. in the crimean city of john coy thursday, according to locals that are no casualties after the u. a. the was successfully taken out. well, there's after care, song came and the key of was struck by cave's forces. once again, the local fire station has been heavily damaged. emergency services reported that some people were injured and

a barge used by local civilians across the river was also hit earlier. local journalists said russian missile defense systems into set for the rocky to tack on the city. when this comes at the region prepared for a referendum on becoming part of the russian federation, ukrainian on the 4th is a retents and a major offensive with a push into the kia soul region. however, as the russian defense ministry has been reporting for several weeks now, that efforts have been unsuccessful and key of is losing thousands of soldiers that he's more against you brings. as this report amassed ukrainian military formation, almost 300 troops, backed by dozens of tanks and armored vehicles. launch as a surprise attack on a russian held village in camps on region. but the defenders were waiting. ah

rockets me solved, shells rained down on the ukrainian offensive bodies, piled the fields quickly, stools and turns into a route before them they ran those who could get away and they left behind their dead and wounded. they also abandoned their vehicles, armored personnel carriers, fire support vehicles in the tank. all of this in just one battle by would look by those in their morale is broken and the prisoners confirm this. so they say they don't want to fight. yesterday he was a plumber in today's he's given a gun and told to fight or they don't want to fight. they don't know how to learn. due to security concerns. we have been asked not to name the settlement where the battle took place. it is still too dangerous to visit, but abandoned ukrainian, arma is already being hauled away as a trophy vehicle, ukrainian btr 3 you abandoned several days ago by ukrainian soldiers,

who were driven to attack russian positions failed, and left behind all their belongings. vast amounts of ammunition, clothes, gear weapons. but inside it is entirely inside. it is entirely intact. the thermal side, snyde vision, everything's in working order the vehicle. i can go under its own power as ry munition. while they barely expended any so quick, was their retreat. in this one battle, which lasted just hours. ukraine lost 17 tanks and armored vehicles. 120 ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries were killed and left behind among them polish citizens. their identification documents were found amongst the corpses by

me a b and p 2 vehicle also a trophy vehicle, captured from you canyon troops, as they retreated after another unsuccessful attack. here san province is rapidly turning into a graveyard for ukrainian soldiers who had drafted an eye now being driven to attack, enforced well defended russian positions. and they are being driven to attack most of the soldiers that have been captured here that of surrender. dana are now prisoners, say that they were civilians off to work and rover and in kiev where they were drafted and give it a simple choice either their property and positions confiscated or they choose to serve. the matter of days, they're thrown at well defended russian positions morale as well. there isn't much to speak of the captured soldiers. all say the same thing that if they refuse orders to go to attack or if they attempt to surrender or retreat that they are shot by nationalists who are always in the rear. always watching them to make sure

that they don't surrender despite these heavy losses. repeated along the care of san front, the 3 weeks he have remains undeterred, throwing more men than material into the meat grinder, the desperate beat to secure a meaningful victory on this front. how many ukrainian soldiers die for key of victory here is seemingly irrelevant or at gazda of r t, from gifts on region. elsewhere a prisoner of war exchange between moscow and k as has been held according to various sources. 55 russian military service men were swapped. for more than $200.00 ukrainian soldiers, the released russian troops landed wednesday the military appleton in moscow. members of the notorious, near nazi as a battalion captured during the siege of mario po, were among those exchanged on wednesday evening media reports came several western

mercenaries including 2 british to and a moroccan national, who had previously been sentenced to death. the war crimes by a don, yes, court were flown to saudi arabia while addressing the un general assembly, the south african speak, i lashed down at the west, saying double standards should not be acceptable while tackling regional conflicts . we should not ignore longstanding conflicts such as that of the people of palestine. israel must be held accountable for its destructive actions that of significantly impaired the possibility of a 2 state solution. similarly, we cannot ignore the decades long struggle for so determination of the people of western sahara. we must, mister president, treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation,

no matter what color creed of the people affected it. that was the leader of south africa speaking before the united nations pointing to some of the ha ha chrissy around western leaders that continue to highlight the situation in ukraine while ignoring the suffering going on in other conflicts and the violation of territorial integrity taking place in many countries now representative of serbia pointed to a situation regarding his country where the united states and western leaders are really revealing their hypocrisy. this is the serbian president we ask for a clear answer to the question. i've been asking my interlocutors leaders of many countries for years. what is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine and sovereignty territorial integrity of serbia, which was grossly violated and for virtue provided international recognition and legitimacy, at least some of you miss shed light on the hip hop caressing of biden at the un,

hammering home, this belief that what is taking place is all the simply a matter of russia violating the territorial integrity of the ukraine. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants of the united nations charter. no more important than the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force. no one threatened russia and no one other than russia sought conflict. currently, these regions are preparing for referendums and which they will vote on the question of whether or not they join with the russian federation. so the way biding presented it in his speech today at the united nations general assembly. the way he presented it isn't matching reality, it simply isn't the way things are taking place. this is a typical oversimplification of a very complicated international situation to serve the narrative, backing us foreign policy. we spoke to civil rights attorney, robert patillo,

who's a, the 2 tier system, providing different sets of rules is wrong. think that we have to take as an international community is an understanding. we need to have the same standards across the board. are there cannot be a one set of rules where the united states and great britain, i am the nato allies in a 2nd cetera. and the 2nd set of rule for the all the other countries on earth, on the only way for these international organizations do have legitimacy, is of, if they are truly neutral, they are truly fair minded. we cannot continue to have a 2 tier system and international law international organizations. otherwise we'll continue to see of smaller nations and non nato nations. a defect from these organizations really do not feel they'll get fair treatment. be heard person bite into they talk about the idea of allowing the african nations caribbean nations to have representatives on the permit security council will veto power. but as of right now, most little small nations have no voice at all the people. a pals dance that have the ability to simply vote on statehood and have it recognized by the international

community and that be the end of it. if we're talking about international democracy in rooms based order right now is all about making sure that the money interest, stay in power to make shorted the nation, are basically $1.00 world war 2 are continued to have, has more power over the world and think that as a disquieting situation for the majority of nations that are trying to move and quote, unquote, developing and to be in to self sufficiency dress. the challenges of our as accusations fly towards russia. the west itself has been lesson loyal for the to the un charter that it kept fighting the invasion of iraq and the occupational, syria and the a couple of examples where the u. s. doesn't respect the rules that they want. others to follow. r t 's maria phenomena, asthma, news about 4 regions and ukraine getting ready to hold referendums on join in. russia came in thick and fast. what also quickly followed was the reaction from the west. these referenda or an affront to the principles of sovereignty and

territorial integrity that underpin the international system and let fly at the heart of the united nations charter. thank sullivan's claims of carrying about sovereignty would probably be more convincing if he didn't stand behind a lectern. where numerous american officials have undermined the sovereignty of numerous nations. how many times have we heard them warning or urge in other southern states to follow along with washington's policy? if a country decides to engage in with russia, where there are sanctions, then they are break, breaking those sanctions or breaking our sanctions. and in some cases they're breaking un sanctions. yes. there are consequences to countries that actively attempt to circumvent or back fill the sanctions threatening illegal and unilateral sanctions against as sovereign nation for conducting their own independent policy. is that not 10 up front to the principles of sovereignty for sullivan? and is he not concerned about washington being accused of stealing?

an estimated 80 percent of sir is daily oil output. the sovereignty not apply to syria and its natural resources, but all that goes unnoticed, while every russian step is condemned hills, yet rushes invasion of ukraine as a conduct the tramples the philosophy and principles of the un charter, yet should never be tolerated. the un charter, the sacred foundation of the international organization that the west, as a former un secretary general himself, one stated, has repeatedly trampled on. i have indicated it us led war in iraq was not and confirm it to with the un charter. from our point of view and from the charter point of view, it was illegal. they are provoked. an illegal invasion of rock is just one example of how the u. s. has been less than loyal to the charter. it now claims to be crucial to world order. you asked lead bombings of yugoslavia and libya. it's a tax and continued presence in syria. it's murdering of iranian commander. silly

money, all in violation of the un charter leaving devastation behind in iraq alone. it's estimated that around $200000.00 civilians were killed or hayes the un charter only there to be conveniently called upon when you are strategic enemies on to biding by it. and when it comes to the upcoming referendums, there is one aspect of the chart to the west certainly seems to have forgotten. that's the right to self determination. the purposes of the united nations are to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self determination of people. the international community supports they saw tickle of the un charter so much that to en crossover seceded from serbia . it was supported by the us and over 100 other nations. and this policy continues with washington and its western allies insisting on ty, one's right to determine its own future. why shouldn't those in the don boss and

harrison ends up at osha, have their say after 8 long years? is it because they're hoping to join a country? the u. s. has publicly stated it wants to see weekend. can the west really not see its pick and choose approach when it comes to respecting sovereignty, self determination, or international law? there is a popular, sane rules for thee and not for me. if only the west itself respected the rules they want others to follow. one would be more willing to believe in the sincerity of their reaction. now, the deer and shows current like the bible of those who are, was support a certain passage you, when it's convenient for the amanda, when their actions contradicted, well, then they ignore that passage. i would say the u. s. has violated the hope, the charter if the charter means allowing people self determination which it does on numerous occasions when it's suited centrist to do so. and that's what empires

do. and the u. s. is no different than the british empire and now the french and others before it and it's behaving empirically. and it is increasingly aggressive in that regard. the very thing will be held from september 23rd to the 27th in 4 areas. the la guns can donate republics and the dumbasses. what is the cast on and suppose? yeah, regions. we will have a special coverage on the referendums in these regions, which will get on to what underway friday, as locals vote on whether they want to become part of russia, they can read more on our website and stay tuned to us international ah.

and exceptional opportunity, this is our south africa president carol ramos those that has branded the biggest military expo on the continent held in the countries capital. city of pretoria, hundreds of companies are participating in the event. the african aerospace on defense x by will run through sunday. the format includes the trade show alongside arrow displays parallel meetings and conferences, briefing the media wednesday. south africa's minister is tandy my days said the event gives opportunities for companies from across the globe to work together at ease corral, dallas hartley brings as this report. africa, aerospace and defense sector is the most important defense marketing event. in

south africa, generals and security decision makers from around the world meets here every other year in the capital city of south africa, to show case their military hardway, underscoring why a sub saharan africa is the growth region for military and different sector. africa are currently expanding and bolstering the military and policing capabilities. but the military budgets of african countries have traditionally taken a backseat to developmental concerns. and the impact of coven 19 has eroded their capacity to buy arms or security hardware. even further, consistently the budget of the defense force has been cut from africa. it is at its lowest. that is what our problem is. even if the economy grows loan, if you keep to the promise that we made to ourselves,

that would never go beyond 2 percent of the g d p. for the defense, we will be fine. that's all we looking for 2 percent of the g d p. that will enable us to recruit the young people that we need to be could be italian neighbor less to resuscitate our defense industry. that will enable us to fix all of our prem equipment that we need to fix that. it will also enable us to do everything and to play a role in better integration and in the continent. the russians. the conglomerate is also among the exhibitors here they are also looking to expand their presence in africa with a showcase at this. yes. export, even though they didn't have a spokesperson available on the day. russia has a friend in many african countries, especially in the south african defense minister. we're loyal to our relationship

with bricks because we looking at bricks as a developmental pattern. but to put x a site, this deal with russia. if you go into any part of africa, the africans will see to you will ask you a question. who did they ever corner nice? did they give us financial aid and take possession of our country now? south africa's relationship with russia. spence from this is mindy pe, the we i my life because they sent foot to the am submitted to camps this expo attract over a 100000 people in it's 5 day period and both that impressive agile. there are many of line meetings happening here between decision makers that will

hopefully tend to have shakes into deals and business. i'm glad i will. if i thought for ality in pretoria as were in africa and a bit to tackle the growing concerns of electronic waste, like old laptops and phones, the 1st ever waste management company has opened in gonna offering recycling solutions. respect to this campaign. our lunch today seeks to extend education and the benefits of recycling to our communities. our community recycling beans will be placed at selected, empty, and service centers across the country by reducing waste, lower in greenhouse gas emissions, and saving energy at home at work and on the road. we saved the environment and our continent. the move comes is gone or is known as one of the world's dumping grounds when it comes to e waste. something that comes with huge risks to people's health. ah

24 wood big. so to come with asthma, which is noble feet with which as he said to the guards, i come to wait to march from the farther it will certainly to us with more water and my head. i had the corso that he did end up with the explore or the 150 problem for electronic

with con betron generation now transfer. i can pass it to my child and my daughter can muscle closet. i reiterated before you my pleasure of improving started in the country and making a fraud the prima city in, in africa, the managing director, all the african environmental sanitation, consulting group, abena, antoine, these attitudes about ecology need to change, right? you should see by saying since, well, since 2017,

the gripe initiative has been introduced to god. it's brought in different dimensions of the system of the green echo system, which i'm, frankly, in my opinion, was lacking before they came in and became very active in the past. it's been a little bit of a discussion. all i read between the producers, the consumer will take responsibility for and of use and abuse products which are in the space of plastic. they've been able to you fluently, not only government, but also that happen. which development has to go in that kind of space. plastics and the plastic minutes i'll call it is not only gonna problem is actually a development developing countries problem. and this is that, you know, i think it's been a creeping problem. we find that plastics alone when you trace it back to all of

the other challenges that is cost. and then we realize that we, i mean we are in big trouble and that has also enabled the government to be aware of this. and everybody is talking about it and when this one i think that in the long term, and i like to find that it's not only given the platform for discussions, but he's going out of it is out of a school. it's also educating the public because the problem, the plastic plastic was probably gonna have a lot also to do with education and attitude, no change that might happen for policy to be effective. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has given an online address to the un general assembly. wait him on to the international community, these russian assets, and post the proceeds ever to care. ukraine will appeal to the un general assembly to support an international compensation mechanism. we count on your support.

russia should pay for this war with its essence. it's also a punishment. this is one of the most terrible punishments for russian officials who value money above everything. ass washing said assets have been on the agenda ever since. $300000000000.00 were frozen by the west. now ukraine has suggested taking possession of the funds, asking the u. s. and other european countries to make it happen. however, current laws only allow assets to be frozen, not to be handed over elsewhere. but recently, the us department of justice on congress to legalize the transfer to ukraine as a compensation for damages independent political analysts, alessandro bruno se, lensky requests the you were not too much of an oscar and unlikely to happen. first of all, the un will probably not vote in favor of it. if you take a full general assembly,

they won't have the numbers. but i think one of the most other interesting requests that far from the money, which is even bigger, was the fact that russia's veto power should be removed from the un security council. which of course, defy the entire mechanism of how this council came to be given that russia is one of the big winners of door to, if not the biggest winner. so, to do that, and the requests that the lensky has made are expensive to put it mildly, anything's keeping this company here in our international will be back at the top of the, with the i

ah, o russia is the gross. no, ifs, ands or buts about we have any quality for russians. we have actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian and murell. 2 well sure. which way beats brewster phobia can't ignore. curious as to that it was possible if a nation suddenly disliked almost the hotel,

it always there and only now come to the full remorseful we're showing the most form for so for do it is router will be a new one, hasn't been seen before in their perspective for a given the from the allows you to pull all some unit studies before the door. i knew that i knew you started. ok. you know, people know daniel's dial. it was the exact or could go with, but it is i here because that's a theme is usually when you got a home was a hotel with conservative. i mean, it wasn't due to me, delusions, wilbur. i was here. all we gotta do is feed him over the head and just tell him the right way to live near is going to do it. what was it before? i don't know the war, but just to be, i just play a

shy many, the kids. i tried to understand why my old colleague's use a 90 person on tuition for position. i'm in some results and i discussed very deep or so public since long, long time game it and is a well known journalist and politician. he had the geneva pres club that wrote a famous book, creating loose, a phobia from the great religious schism to ante potent hysteria in which he contends. the rooster phobia in western europe isn't new, but has been there for centuries to source for big narrative is set on 2 main arguments. one is russia is with dorsey. it was a tier one. the written thought was a tier one during subject times and.
