a bit about them i was, was the national bona custodians of a korean army start those heavy losses in the region with care of trying the weeks to break through russian defense is that the rules and prepares for a referendum to join russia. defense industry say that 55 service men will return from ukrainian captivity and that's currently receiving medical care and exchange between moscow and key. i've also included ukrainian services, including members of the as office collie, and also we must, the president treat all conflicts across the globe with quote, indignation, south africa baker with the un general assembly appears as the west of double

standards, as the us criticizes russia violates un principal and south africa is friend, something military corporation with russia, with the country hosts the largest military expo on the continent. a will welcome it, mid day here in moscow. and this is the international with the latest world news out. date is good to have you with us this hour, that we start with the latest on the conflicts in ukraine why key of attempted a series of drone attacks on crimea. here's the latest procedure of one of the jones, which was shut down by russian ad defend systems in the crimea city of john coy coding to the head of crimea, a total of 3 u a. these were successfully shot down those same. and this comes off, the kind of thought was struck by kids for those who once again shell, the 50. whoa finance station has been heavily damaged. emergency services reported

that some people were injured and a barge used by local civilians to cross a river. was also hit earlier local journalists said russian missile defense system, the deceptive rocket attack on the city. all of this comes of the region for pass for a referendum on becoming part of the russian federation. the ukrainian armed forces are attempting a major offensive with a push into the care song region. however, as the russian defense ministry has been reporting for several weeks now, the efforts have been unsuccessful and here is losing thousands of soldiers. ortiz mike garcia, brings us this report. a mast 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, stalls, and turns into a route. before them they ran those who could get away. they left behind their dead and wounded. they also abandoned their vehicles, armored personnel carriers, fire support vehicles and a tank all of this in just one battle. why would look bohlin? their morale is broken and the prisoners confirm this. so they say they don't want to fight. yesterday, he was a plumber. today's, he's given a gun and told to fight or they don't want to fight. they don't know how to earn 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 armour 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 amunition 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 can go under its own power. as for i munition more they barely expended any so quick was their retreat in this one battle, which lasted just hours. you quain 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. bind me a b, m p to 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 and are 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 given a simple choice, either their property and possessions confiscated, or they choose to serve the matter of days, they're thrown that well defended russian positions. morality. while 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 have san front for 3 weeks. he have remains undeterred, throwing more men than material into the meat grinder, in the desperate bead to secure a meaningful victory on this front. how many ukrainian soldiers die for key of victory here is seemingly irrelevant. more at gazda of r, t from keeps on region. elsewhere a prisoner of war exchange between moscow and kill has been held. the worse in defense ministry states at 55 russian military service men of arrived in russia from ukrainian captivity, and then getting medical care. the russian troops landed wednesday the military airport near moscow. members of the notorious, near nancy of battalion captured during the siege of mario pole,

were among those exchanged on wednesday evening, made a report claim. several western mercenaries in getting to british and rock and national, who had previously been sentenced to death for war crimes fight. don't yet court were flown to saudi arabia while addressing the un general assembly, the south africa speaker lashed out at the west saying that will stand but should not be acceptable while tackling regional conflicts wishes. 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 all the decades long struggle for sir determination of the people of western sahara. we must, mister president,

treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation. no matter what color o creed of the people affected it. i was the leader of south africa speaking before the united nations pointing to some of the head hawkers seeing 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 asked 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 and territorial integrity of serbia, which was grossly violated and for virtue provided international recognition and

legitimacy, at least some a few. this shed light on the hypocrisy 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 ukraine. russia has shamelessly violated the court tenants on the united nations charter. no more important then 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 referenda and which they will vote on the question of whether or not they join with the russian federation. so the way biting presented it and 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 u. s. foreign policy. we spoke to civil rights attorney, robert patillo, who said the 2 tier system providing different set of rules is wrong. thing that we have to take as an esl community is an understanding. we need to have the same standards across the board. there cannot be a one set of rules where the united states and great britain, i am the nato allies and a 2nd cetera. and the 2nd set of rule for the all the other countries of the earth . and the only way for these international organizations to have legitimacy is of, if they are truly neutral, they are truly fair minded. and we cannot continue to have a 2 tier system in the international international organizations. otherwise you will continue to see how smaller nations and non nato nations 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 permanent security council will veto power. but as of

right now, most of those 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 a real rules based order right now, is all about making sure that the money interest, stay in power to make shorted the nation, are basically one world war 2 are continue to have, has more power over the world and think that as a disquieting situation where the majority of nations are trying to move from, quote, unquote, developing and to be in to self sufficiency as accusations fly, to ruins, russia, the west and south have been less than loyal to the un charge of it. it keeps, i think, the invasion of iraq and the occupation of syria and me a couple of examples where the u. s. doesn't respect the rules that they want. others to follow. that isn't with an ocean that has more news about 4 ridges 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 electron where numerous american officials have undermined the sovereignty of numerous nations. how many times have we heard them warning or urge, and 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 are 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 submarine 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, lucia 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, this 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 charger point of view, it was illegal, they unprovoked. 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

us lead bombings of yugoslavia and libya, its attacks and continued presence inferior. 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 is that un charter only there to be conveniently called a poem when you are strategic enemies on to biding by it. and when it comes to the upcoming referendums, there is one aspect of the char 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 this article of the un charter so much that when cost services seated 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 dawn boss and her song ends up? are all you have there say, after a 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, it's the can choose approach when it comes to respecting sovereignty, self determination, or international law. there is a popular st 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 this is charity of their reaction. now, the deer and sharp colonel is the bible. those who want to support a certain passage deal when it's convenient for them and when their actions contradicted, well, then they ignore that passage. i would say the u. s. has violated the quote, the charter if the charter means allowing people self determination,

which it does on numerous occasions when it's suited interest to do so. and that's what empires do. and the u. s. is no different than the british empire and the french and others before it. and it's behaving empirically. and it is increasingly aggressive. the nat regarding the voting will be held from september 23rd to the 27th in 4 areas. still a dance can donate for public no dumbasses. what is the cast stollins apple dozier regions? we're going to have special coverage on the referendums in these regions which get underway, friday of locals, those on whether they want to become a part of russia. it can read more on our website and stay tuned to us international ah

exceptional opportunity. this is how south africa as president carmel, by my phone, has rounded the biggest military expert on the continent. how in the country of capital city for toria, hundreds of companies on participating in the event african aerospace on defense expo will run through sunday. the format includes the trade show alongside arrow displays, power meetings, and conferences, where you think the media wednesday south africa is when it's the defense. tundi may be said, be event gives opportunities for companies from across the globe to work together. ortiz carrabas, latan leveling says that 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 showcase their military hardway, underscoring why is sub saharan africa is a growth region for military and defense 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 as security hardware. even further consistency deposit 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, they were less to resuscitate our defense industry. that will enable us to fix all of our prem equipment that we need to fix. but it will also enable us to do everything and to play a role in better in the region and in the continent. the russians, the arms 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're looking at bricks as a developmental pattern. but to put bricks, a site this deal with russia. if you go into any part of africa, the africans from c 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 relationship with russia. spence from miss hood is mindy, by the way. i'm alive because they sent foot to the am submitted to camps this expo a trex 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 turn the handshakes into deals and business. i'm glad i will. if i thought for ality in pretoria, elsewhere in africa and a bit to tackle the growing concerns of electronic waste, like old laptops and phones as, as a waste management company has opened in ghana offering recycling solutions. with 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, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and saving energy at home at work. and on the road. we save the environment and our continent it comes has gone or is known as one of the well, it's dumping grounds when it comes to e waste. something that comes with huge risks to people's health

ah. done. if i want to pick something, where does with a chest noble feet flip the chest, he said to the thing, sort of a few words to march from the fire. got sick. it was certainly through us with more water and my head. i had the course that he did end up with the export or for the

150 problem for electronic with it can be trying generation no transfer. i can pass it to my child and my daughter, i'm also closet. i reiterated before you my pledge of improving started. this was in the country and making a crowd the prima city in, in africa, the managing director of the african environmental sanitation, consulting group, abena. and we say attitudes about ecology need to change. and right. he sits in 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 am, 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 or a rift between the producers. the consumer will take responsibility for the end of use and don't use products which are in the space of plastic they've been able to you from when it's not only government, but also the power 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 blog 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 cause and then we realize that we are in big trouble and that has also enabled the government to be aware of this and everybody is talking about it. and with this one, i think that in the long term, and i like the fact 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 with problems gonna have a lot also to do with education and attitude, no change that might happen for policy to be effective. ukrainian president vladimir polanski has given an online address to the un general assembly where he demanded the international community, sees russian assets and part of the proceeds over to care. ukraine will appeal to the un general assembly to support an international compensation mechanism. we

count on your support are actually p police war with is essence. it's also a punishment. this is one of the most terrible punishments for russian officials who value money and bomb everything. bass russian state assets has been on the agenda ever since. $300000000000.00 were frozen by the west. now ukraine, who suggested taking possession of the funds off in the us and the other european countries to make it happen. however, current laws only allow assets to be frozen and not to be handed over elsewhere. but recently the u. s. department of justice of congress to legalize the transfer to ukraine as a compensation for damages independent political analysts. so my social group, i say, is the landscape request. so the you went out too much of an all in the unlikely to happen 1st of all the you and we're probably not vote in favor of it.

if you take a full general assembly vote, they won't have the numbers. but i think one of the most other interesting requests that, apart from the money, which is even bigger was the fact that rushes veto power should be removed from the un security council. which, of course, would defy the entire mechanism of how this council came to be given that russia is one of the big winners of one or 2, if not the biggest one here. so, to do that, and the requests that the lensky has made are excessive. to put it mildly many thanks for joining us. i went off the international as always, plenty more news updates to be found on our website, r t dot com, but will be back in 30 minutes with no se then. ah,

a ah, the eradication of love ism was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan ost for the colonization and german ization of eastern europe. the plan involved about 80 percent been killed or relocated me. that was really it was it just nickel? i'm busy, you really just give us proceed. you mean actually up when you might have i be zeroing him? yes, a running yet. seller. asks the unions into personally. i mean, sure. street the good we're good. yeah. my yes. that you nice,

phone need see, is for be done. goes to can do it to new coin without the problem. so so the contradiction point says do as of a, they can sure this size without a problem. so those are go both fell. let me kiss this. so can i mean if you let me why it's taking its canadian leave for america to narrow things a bit more than a form. you can press on the list to see who the new with hitler's class, where the slabs are brand new. remember today, this is the fact that civilized europe failed to resist his advance for long belgium fell in 8 days. poland in 36.
