which is what happened with a, with we will regard the use of the dirty ball by the key for shame as an act of terrorism. russia calls a un security council meeting to discuss the threat other dirty bob also with russian found on the very good with ukraine, is now a front point out that lives in constant anticipation of. yet another ukrainian try akin to the one that destroyed this shopping move are safe in the town and the dog or out on the ukraine border where shelling has become an almost daily occurrence.

in an a d u. n says it's towards your prevention body has been blocked from assessing prisons and australia. that's a bit multiple reports of course, here and gas and indigenous people over the years. with mosque out to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this our russia has called for a un security council meeting on tuesday to voice it concerns that he had may use a dirty bomb as part of a false flag operation. russia has urged the un chief antonio gutierrez to do everything possible to prevent such a scenario. 2 saying moscow will consider any such action and act of nuclear terrorism. the russian defense ministry has said he have could launch such an attack with help from its western allies,

claiming to yet had requested help with nuclear weapons technology from the u. k. meanwhile, rushes foreign minister survey lab rob has dismissed claims by some western states that it was actually moscow planning to use a dirty bomb or little noon for a month. so. so, cuz detailed information indicating the institution that can do this was transmitted through the minister of defense with his colleagues from the united states. great britain, france and turkey, the unfounded claims vol. western colleagues that this is all fiction and russia itself, plans to do something like that to blame the zalinski regime later is not a serious conversation. you know, some of our interlock has suggested discussing information we have at a professional military level. this is an approach that we've supported, foreign minister, lovegrove, sad that russia is eager to do whatever possible to bring ukraine's western partners into the discussions about the potentially very dangerous, if not the pic elliptic consequences of such a false flag attack. if it indeed is carried out and while

a menu of love robes colleagues or some of the lover of school, as for example, the year secretary of state anthony blinking dismiss those allegations as quote, transparent re falls on. foreign minister also indicated that such allegations were met with some professional interests and some of the colleagues he didn't specify who, but some of the countries, as far as we know, russia has reached out front of the united states, the united kingdom, and target some of those countries have expressed an interest in discussing the evidence that russia has in the professional form that is among the intelligence officers and military experts. but i have to tell you that something like this is not really original. if you remember the, the way that the syrian war was carried out, we have constant delegation. so for false flag attacks. and this is essentially the

way that russia has learned to counteract them to, to try to be preemptive whenever it has allegations or whenever you have, whenever it has any intelligence on the potential possession of dangerous materials . it tries to bring attention of the world wide audience did. and i have to say that if we didn't dissemble that the west would try to exonerate ukraine and accused rational of all the possible times. but there is already a track record, an official track record of the ukrainian officials expressing direct interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. for example, president lambs k one. speaking of the munich security conference earlier this year, he expressly sad that ukraine was looking into that possibility. and what a surprise russia at that point is that despite the fact that nonproliferation is a stated policy in the world, it's stated goal, nonetheless,

nono ukraine's less than partner said. anything against that possibility. that's why russia is indeed taking you seriously. former us marine and your political analysts, john mark to get there's key is trying to escalate the war to draw nato deeper into the conflict. we've seen what they have been doing up to now their acts of terrorism, starting with the bombing of dory dugeon and boring up the bridges and they are escalating things. intel, the point in return, they want. i can understand why they want west to be involved in making their war. they have that much hatred towards russia. the west has been engaging in a lot of very dirty tactics lately and everything that they've been engaging like the pipeline. the attacks on the zap rose and the nuclear power plant. everything

they've been engaging in then they have been pointing the finger is blaming on russia when we all know that it's, it's not russia. i mean, everybody would have a brain understand this, and they're going to do the same thing with this. so the, the question is, is the west going to help them in the russian region of brianna. it's going to expose the device has detonated on a railway, targeting and nearby cargo train. no injuries were reported in the incident. and in separate attack on saturday, 2 people were killed in tack on the shopping mall in the belgrade region. our eagle ridge it on up visited the site as a lead to shelling ah ah, ah, this small russian town on the very border with ukraine has now

a frontline town that lives in constant anticipation over yet another ukrainian strike akin to the one that destroyed this shopping mood, all that remains of it is its charred skeleton. you can still though, make out and tell wood shorter shops used to be here, like judging by the carcasses where the burn carcass is here. this used to be some sort of a tech supermarket. and if you look in the corner over there, there used to be a pet store, but given enough money is spent, all of this can be rebuilt, a new of course, but people's lives, those who were killed in the strike. well, they can't be brought back. ukrainian shells had 2 moves and a discount store at noon this saturday, a fireworks shop and one of them worsened both the blaze and the panic among victims and bystanders alike. so mostly shelly, when we heard the whistle for the 1st time in the distance we left the building. as

soon as we did it, a shell immediately landed. a girl was sitting here, her leg was covered in blood near the market stole a man's leg, was blown off that approval. when i was inside the store, when the shell landed, i saw through the windows that had came from all there whistling. and then there was a hit, the shell made a hole and flew right here. at the building immediately caught fire. there was a man with his leg blown off and a woman with an injured leg. then i held pops fy walks started. exploding glass fell down. people was screaming and running away with them of the day she neared them. before official rest crews had a chance to arrive, 1st responders who witnessed the attack helped the wounded, evacuate away from the scene.

these 2 civilians have been killed. more than a dozen needed medical treatment, it all started as a regular weekly shopping trip for this family. as the parents left the vehicle to go to the shopping mall, their teenage son stayed inside. he died on this very spot. the shell landed just about 3 meters away from the car. it's been weeks since ukraine stepped up its attacks from the region on this tiny town alone. key of forces have indiscriminately dropped dozens of bombs among the target's. people some houses, a power substation, a long abandoned chemical plant. but despite the threat, the streets here still bustle with life. oh, much and i am free with great. seriously. we are getting used to the whistling because they were near by and were shelling regularly when there was a big bang. i came out of the garage and saw that the explosions were somewhere in the city. then there was another shot. a screech and

a shell fell again. i'm already used to counting seconds. it's only been 5, so the distance was very small, slower with you just rationalize. i was only worried about my mom and the children who were at home. i was hoping the shells wouldn't plan there. i see no point in leaving the town. where would we go and why? we're not planning to leave. some numbers of jo biden's own party are demanding. he changes approaches to the ukranian conflict. more than 2 dozen congress democrats have signed a letter calling on the president to push t as to agree to a cease fire and a negotiated solution. ortiz caleb mop. it has more. well, it's quite a development in the foreign policy conversation. here in the united states, 30 members of the us house of representatives have signed this letter to the white house, urging them to change tactics when it comes to ukraine and pursue negotiations with

russia. now this is quite a development, these are members of biden's own party, the democratic party, and they in their letter, are calling for a pro act diplomatic reproach to the situation. this is some of what the letter says, given the destruction created by this war for ukraine in the world, as well as the risk of catastrophic escalation. we also believe it is in the interests of ukraine, the united states, and the world to avoid a prolonged conflict. for this reason, we urge you to pair the military and economic support the united states has provided to ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire. now this is quite an interesting turn of events. it comes as there seem to be cracks in the european coalition around biden, and his moves when it comes to ukraine as well. now, generally, any opposition to the white house's policies regarding ukraine has come from republicans. there's been approvals of up to $60000000000.00 more than

$60000000000.00 approved by the u. s. congress in aid to ukraine. and the opposition to it came from republicans. 57 republicans in the house of representatives voted against it aladdin us, senators. but it was all republicans voted against that. this new development appears to come from democrats and democrats who signed this recent letter. now we must keep in mind, november 8th, the mid term congressional elections are coming up. americans will go to the polls and elect a new congress, and it appears that within the democratic party, there are some wish to distance themselves from biden's ukraine policy. there are democrats who don't want to be associated with the policies of the white house when it comes to ukraine. now another thing that's important to note is that another member of the us house of representatives, a republican, claudia tanny as come forward and said that biden isn't really running the country . she compared into a wax dummy. she said that his cognitive abilities are not good and that his staff

is essentially running the country on his behalf. the president of united states is not really in charge. now, that's quite a dramatic thing for a member of the federal government member, the u. s. congress to come forward and say it appears the president united states and it does not have the cognitive ability to run the country and has been affect li, removed from power. his staffers are running the country. now that's quite an accusation to be floating around mainstream u. s. media. so these are, these are all things that should be taken into account as we see that now, it's not only republicans criticizing by for his ukraine strategy. it's now 30 democrats in the house of representatives. ah, the asian american journalist association is called on media outlets to stop using the word kamikaze when reporting on exploding drones used by both ukrainian and russian forces in their conflict. the organization claims the coverages inaccurate and encourages discrimination and hate crimes against asian people.

the term kamikaze, droll news, imprecise. the weapons the thrall shoes using ukraine are unmanned aerial vehicles that are remotely piloted and designed to detonate on the impact. the drones. loy in an area on to a target is identified than the drone is remote, please. i rector to crash into the target. the use of the term also risks exacerbation of the racism and harassment that the asian american and pacific islander community has already faced and continues to face during the car on the wireless pandemic. the same men ignores the fact that he was actually the 1st to make headlines for his deployment of turkish bay reactor drones and the conflict your organization claims. the reporting creates a negative historical image of kamikaze attacks by japanese fighter pilots in world war 2. earlier we spoke to legal and media analyst, lionel, who says he can't understand why the restriction is needed. it's absolutely

an unnecessary additional element reporting. it's also a part of this pretend, ah, it's hypersensitivity. this punctilious priggish this over the use of a word. it makes people feel intellectually enlightened, it makes people feel pure and superior for me to get the correct word the correct etymology. don't say that it's not kamikaze. and it also suggests that people are apparently so stupid that they cannot differentiate between korean chinese job. i mean it think about this, they use the word asia. let's take this all a little further. can you imagine interviewing somebody in a jail cell and you ask them, why did you attack this chinese woman over the bomb may or may not have

a need to do you know that china and japan are not the same, but just so we sort asian. why did you do this? why? because i heard about a drone attack and i was fine. i didn't bother me. but then someone said kamikaze and i said i yes, yes, the japanese and i immediately try to funnel and channel my rage. upon hearing that towards the 1st asian person, i good fine. do you think that existed? do you think anybody made that leap? and again, i'm saying this, if they used the word correctly and said that the kamikaze droned, were use against military. according to this definition, nobody would have been offended, so they offended by the miss application of the word or the fact the kamikaze was used. i don't know active as an iran claim,

navy smuggled doesn't starling receivers into iran to bypass strict internet censorship and blackouts across the country. video footage, shared by an economist from the carnegie thing, tang shows starling terminals being unpacked by activists. the internet and many platforms such as whatsapp and instagram are now blocked in iran by the government, with protesters hoping to use sterling to bypass restrictions. satellite dishes are also currently illegal, and iran with authorities claiming they bring addiction and insecurity in society. now this comes amid reports that the white house is already in touch with you on moss, about the possibility of setting up space access, satellite internet service darling, inside, or ron, according to the source cited in the cnn report, washington c. starling, as a potential wage is support the anti government protest in the country. we have our foot on the gas to do everything we possibly can,

to support the aspirations of the iranian people. that is our policy period. at the same time, it is truly an iranian movement, led by young girls and spreading to other aspects of society. protest in or wrong have entered their 6 week with demonstrators spreading outside the country. with rallies held in washington, berlin and tokyo, they began with anger over mandatory. he job coverings for women, triggered by the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody. she was detained for wearing her covering incorrectly, and is believed to have died after being beaten by police. earlier, the iranian president said he'd ordered an investigation into the incident. he also set the quote acts of chaos were unacceptable, and that a wrong must yield decisively with the unrest. for more on this, let's cross live now to human and labor rights lawyer, dan co. valid. dan, it's great to have you on the program today. now, how do you think the deliveries of starlings to iran could influence the course of

the protest in the country? well, look, i'm not sure it could help accelerate those protests. i mean, certainly, i'm sure that's the goal. that the u. s. has in doing this, but i would say that, why is that necessary? i mean, if these are indigenous protests, why do they need this technology? yeah, that's a good question. now speaking of involvement from the u. s. do you think there is proof that the u. s. really is involved in the orchestration of the unfolding arrest, according to iranian officials, from what they've said so far, it does seem to me that the us in the west, in general, is involved in, in provoking these protests. i'm sure that some of these protests are indigenous

to iran. obviously, i'm not a fan of any morality police anywhere. at the same time. let's be on it's in the u. s. there's about a 1000 plus. people were killed by police every year. of those about $40.00 to $50.00 are women right there. now we have a case in iran where a woman is died and that terrible in police custody though, you know, what i've seen is probably she died you know, from natural cause. she had other preexisting conditions and now there's, you know, major protest happening. i don't see that is a natural occurrence. i think the us in the west is behind this because they want regime

change. they don't support women, right? they don't support women's right care in the united states. so yeah, the us certainly is not discouraging these protests. now let's bring you on musk into all of this. what could his motive be for getting involved in providing satellites to iran? all of a sudden, i mean money. i mean, he's not going to do this for free, right? he's gonna get paid for this from the us government. so, you know, he's a multi billionaire, i guess maybe even the trillion aaron is motives are based on the profit motive. so there you go, you're going to do it from money not to surprise following the dollar signs wherever they go. now speaking of these videos that were released, i mean, why do you think that the videos of smuggled starling dishes were published by a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment? which is of course a u. s. think pain,

do you think that that's just kind of adding another factor to the overall conversation here and really keeping these protest in the news? yes, of course. of course. look, this is all about regime change. this doesn't look so different from the regime change and 90 degree. the 1st ca regime change ever, which happened to be in iran against the democratically elected prime minister, mom and most dad. and they used very similar tactics being used today. so yeah, of course this is all about regime change and look again, i support women's rights. i'm not a fan of morality, police, but also i see a regime change you know, attempt when it's very player and that's what's happening. yeah, certainly a lot of daycare and will continue to follow this important issue. human and labor rights lawyer, dan co valley. thank you so much for your time. thank you,

rachel. really appreciate it. it's been another bloody weekend in africa. 9 people, including the school children, were killed after terrorists, set off a car bomb and open fire on a hotel in the city of kids. my oh, on sunday, another 47 people were wounded in the attack. security forces killed 3 of the militants with the 4th killed in the bomb blast. as long as tara group, all sure bob has claimed responsibility for the incident. senior lecture at the somali national university and war defaults by sheer says that despite all government efforts the malia is still in desperate need of more international assistance in fighting terrorism. a sinister somali government supplies that the local a few minutes to fight again is eligible. i'm so i decided to try to get anyone who gets their order or just still funded. so the latest attack was as

a result of debt reviewers, today's with the local community, throat had their game. so some of the government launch it now or neville brand should again, it's algebra when it comes to some parts of somalia, specially some region. is that a said need a full support from denisha to minister there is said need. there's a drastic me from intimacy committees. ah, the un says it's torture prevention body has been blocked from assessing prisons and australia despite claims of not practice and even death and some of its facilities. many of the alleged victims were said to be indigenous people despite its continued efforts to engage the authorities for the resolution of the problems, the delegation of the united nations subcommittee on prevention of torture continued to be obstructed in the exercise of its mandate. as a result of this,

the b team members felt that their visit had been compromised to such an extent that they had no other option but to suspend it. so the un isn't happy with australia basically they consider this a violation of human rights, specifically violating the cat, which is a treaty that australia is a part of. and basically what this means is that they are not allowing this inspectors to go into the state presence. they're not allowing them to go into the mental facilities and they think they should be allowed to go in that they should be able to go in on an out and be able to look at what's going on without being prohibited. and so right now they're being prohibited. so they've decided to suspend the rest of their trip, which would have gone on to october 27th. and so more than 70 organizations have issued a statement condemning this act by straightly and various states in there as well. and what's interesting, rory is this rhetoric right now and h r c official tweeted that this is embarrassing for australia. it puts them in the

same camp as were wanda ukraine. and as there by john. and it's interesting, given the fact that australia and many other western nations have been ignoring ukraine's crimes against humanity. and here's where other, some corruption spoke. people also said it's really unnecessary, i think, for the un to demand to get into our jail system. we run a safe and orderly system. we don't torture people, aren't they better off going to places like iran. you see people getting tortured in jails all the time. they're. i'm not going to have un inspectors from iran and china and cuba coming to new south wales jails and tell us that we're doing things wrong. so what we're, we're getting here is the sense that the australian government does not seem to like or expect the us to hold them accountable, but only hold their phones accountable. and of course, they can't show the failings of such an advance and quote, civilized society like australia. in queensland, we have a terrible situation of deaths in custody where hundreds of indigenous people have

died in police custody. these relate to situations in immigration detention where what we found in places like now are you and popular new guinea amounts to torture . so what we're mostly seeing here is an equity in terms of racial inequality with how these aboriginal and indigenous people are being treated versus everybody else . this is kind of similar to america. they are dying in police custody recently. there was an aboriginal prisoner who was actually meant to get out of prison who died in police custody, and he was a 2nd within 2 weeks. the guardian actually spent the last 3 years tracking the numbers. and it said that over 470 indigenous people have died since early 9991. and that number just keeps growing and growing. and of course the people who died in the city were we're not likely to receive medical treatment. so this is, this is something like i said, we're not, it's not new, but it is becoming more prevalent. and what we're seeing is that this is

a national shame for australia. whereas a country that considers itself extremely civilized, extremely modernized. it doesn't quite lend itself to be that we spoke to tim anderson, head of the sydney based center for counter hedge, a monic studies that says australia and the west at large uses human rights as a tool to intervene and other countries affairs, while not holding themselves to account very well known these systematic crimes. and when, when it comes to time for some outside scrutiny, they can't deal with it. they simply cannot deal with something that really they need to be reminded of that these are people, after all, who are preaching human rights all around the world. the foreign policy following that washington is full of these claims about human rights, but they don't want it to them. there is a general patent minutes. we're talking about a strike, but there is a general patent that, of course, the us itself does not allow the international criminal court to look at any of its

actions around the world. israel is the same, but of course they use it as a tool. they use human rights these days as a tool against independent countries that they want to discipline. some of the worst forms of democracy are in the west, basically, particularly the intervention of form. before we get into social democracy, let's look at the fact that the western countries, the intimacy in other countries, they have no mandate at all to that there is no international law that allows them to invite to carry a proxy was dirty, was around the world to try to claim that the carrier was these days in the name of the rule space international order. there is no mandate for any of these sorts of things. there is no one voting for them to do that. there is no accountability and that the worst of all forms the democracy of those were carried out with imperial interventions. and now onto the middle east, where to log last have been heard in the syrian capital of damascus on monday and during a soldier and causing material damage. syria accuses israel of carrying out

a missile attack. so television has declined to comment. a local press tv correspond, it has more on mondays. incident that about 2 pm local time here in damascus. theory and be there in capital damascus. heard sounds of last an explosion. i've heard them. i was driving my car. i are traces of syrian air defense. massage in the air or ford and ask us so which turned out to be an a rated strike. according to an official military source which hit various parts of damascus and its countryside through an air defenses were able to intercept several m. e. m. a solid power for some of them hit their positions and injured syrian military personnel and caused some material damage. and it's not actually expected to see western media sitting light and focusing on fox news that is attacking. yeah, we all know that there has been.
