the horrible 30 that he she daily and gladly the be the forest disabled soldiers, but no legs to do sit down. so it was a german key, if used by the ukranian secured to service men, a russian soldiers were kept there, but not every one managed to leave it alive. there were interrogated under torture, so they were lying there blindfolded. some were been beaten to death and over there was learned. we were waiting for this moment for a long time. we didn't know what would happen to us while we were there. we were made to walk into cold for about 16 hours with all the shirts. light trousers and flip flops on. i saw some guys jailed and live off, show their legs. they were swollen from beatings. they could be beaten for any move seen is wrong. we were told that we would be jailed once we get home. the russia had forgotten us and wouldn't help us that we were just scum, unless we were forced to learn and sing their nationalist songs and anthem's their prayers. they wouldn't let us eat until we agree to sing. but anyway, you can hear from the clinical anyway. yes,

russia resumed as for dissipation and the black sea grain deal this week at your key, i've gave written guarantees not to use the c route for military purposes. the russian president said that if the promises are not upheld russia would still be ready to deliver grains of flies for free to the world's poorest countries. we are but that it will, the grains krista, we demanded assurances from ukrainian side and guarantees that nothing like this will happen in the future. that humanitarian corridors will not be used for military purposes or turkish partners, acted as a mediator. in this situation, the ministry of defense received information from the turkish side that such assurances were given by ukraine not to use these humanitarian corridors for military purposes. in this regard, i have given instructions to the ministry of defense to resume our participation in the work. at the same time, russia reserves the right to withdraw from these agreements if these guarantees are

violated by ukraine, even if russia withdraws from the deal will be ready to deliver the same amount of grain to the poorest countries. for free matching, the total that has been delivered from the territory of ukraine. russia previously suspended its participation in the un broker grendale after it accused ukraine of using the humanitarian corridor to its hack, the russian navy in crimea. vladimir putin praise turkey as efforts to get the deal back on track our teeth. maria phenomena has more details, most goes now back to implementation of a very important black sea grain. dill, thanks to the participation in a very active role of the un and took e m. the statement says the necessary written guarantees have been obtained from the ukrainian side of the non use of the humanitarian corridors in the black sea, as well as ukrainian pores assigned for the export of agricultural products for military purposes. earlier president white and we're putting,

you said that russia suspends its participation in the black sea initiative due to security concerns following and massive ukrainian drone attack on the russian navy in crimea. the port of a 7 stall, pull the she was addressed at the un security council meeting. moscow accused ukraine of violating the agreements conditions and also accused. the british troops of being involved in saturdays attacked the agreement known as the black sea grain initiative, brokered by the u. s. and took here was signed earlier in july in istanbul, with the participation of the ukrainian and russian side as well. and it allowed boats with crops to freely leave the unblocked ukrainian ports. and it was very important. moscow was repeatedly accused of provoking world's food crisis by starting a special milt operation in ukraine. but russia repeatedly denied it saying that western sanctions against moscow is the main reason behind global food supply

chains disruption. the idea, the main mission of this important grain deal was to help starving africa and poorest countries that were most hate to survive. but moscow had always had many questions on how it was implemented as and put and reiterated many times. surprisingly, most of the shapes went to the you instead of african ukrainian president vladimir zalinski described as decision as a significant diplomatic outcome that demonstrated the quote failure of russian aggression. we discussed the issue with political affairs professor jack ross mess who said he has no faith here. we'll stick to the new agreement after violating the previous one. i don't know how much does or is he can, can assure anything. now, you know, i don't think he's totally in control and he could say that the bill provide guarantees that the no military equipment will be shipped. but, you know,

i kind of think the number of people underneath of them will do what, what they want. anyway. i don't know how, how much of a guarantee that will be. ok. i don't know what they mean by that. i think the un has to inspect the ship. the u, as a has many members that are in the poorer african asian area and who are dependent upon that grant are still star. and they have that real pressure, political pressure to see that the grain really does get to them. and still, the come ukrainian investigator sees a shipping container that was reportedly sat to smuggle a helicopter out of the port city of odessa will bring you the details later on in the program. also this week, pakistan's former prime minister and moran con, was shot in the leg during a protest march. he was leading to the country's capital of islam, about the government was detained by authorities and confessed that con was his

target. ah, there's aspect allegedly admitted he'd acted alone, however, is unclear whether his statement was taken under duress. local media footage showed con with a bandage leg as he was moved to another vehicle by his security team. and a warning here you may find the following images disturbing. a senator and a senior member of cons party who were also caught in the gun fire claim to one of con supporters was killed in the shooting cons manager, along with a former governor, were also hit, bringing the total number wounded in the attack to 7. the countries and commit i minister issued a statement condemning the incident and calling for an immediate investigation. we heard from witnesses at the march. i was standing just behind him, ron hahn when

a gunman appeared on the left and opened street fire on him. one bullet hit his leg, people protected him by covering him. i was standing beside my leader in ron han on this truck at the front when a man attacked him. a bullet hit his leg, but fortunately he is safe. however, the attacker tried his best to kill him. we love hon and pray for him. these men which has been embark on this domain is doing a, this is the crime scene. we out again here. god bless his god. godaddy job at amazon. com was at the front side, off the truck there, theresa, coming from bad sites out our pharmacy know by then entering into the city. and this is both children product that the address of the prime of hava prime to so the mom, connie had to address this place just before that or 200 meters. and back on this

site, i gunman a bit on the left side. and i, he, i, 5, so i'm kind of starting in front, so i have one bullet cross his leg about his barney, save the bullet, cost of the leg that out other for our p d. i. leaders who are injured and wonder what got his ard, that oh, in the aftermath of the attack, thousands of con supporters took the history throughout the country. flames and smoke could be seen as protesters burn, tires, venting their anger at the current government. demonstrators vows to continue their movement, even as police broke up, the crowds with tear gas. while emerson con, accused pakistan's incumbent leadership of involvement in the attack, the pakistani prime minister denied the allegations and condemned to violence with

aig and unassailable toyota. i was informed a day prior to going to the march that either they attempt to murder me in was it up or good right now i demand an investigation by naming and blaming general fazel, interior minister, son, noah, and 3rd prime minister, shabazz sharif. for my attempted murder, i ask how will investigations take place when they are in power and have not resigned? we spoke with a veteran of the pakistani air force, who said the assassination attempt shows the government has run out of options to remove con, from the political arena. democratically non fun has been sent to the system and one of the reasons why he lost his seat as the prime minister of what's done is because he was trying to take care of corruption by the, the bullet, corruption by the hans and tried to remove corruption and some very effective political leaders in his target. secondly,

he was also trying to ensure justice for the people as well as trying to come out of the clutches of foreign influence. so the, these factors, the combined and that is why he was removed from his seat and some image. it was just that come to your mind, is that how was one only one person apprehended and how come that he had a really made confession to me and then confession was not on the recorded, but it was played on the street tv within minutes of the incident, so this all shows a kind of a pre meditated brought to eliminate iran, hon. you probably not be easy. checked the 2 democratic means and the only means left was to try and eliminate him by these. and dr. lee and means at least you peacekeepers have reportedly been injured in the democratic republic of the congo as a protester set fire to un trucks in the country. locals claim the peacekeepers.

vehicles were being used to transport insurgents near the rwandan border. o . lighting intensified in the border region between areas controlled by congo, leaves government forces and the m $23.00 militant group. the un mission said it would begin a strategic withdrawal from the area where m $23.00 has been advancing, which could be as a serious blow to security and the conflict hit area where hundreds of thousands have been displaced over the past year. here's what people on the streets of the frontier city of gama, had to say about the situation. i got to figure out we are asking our president to help us to remove the un mission from here. and the fog, all amount is not able to fly. these rebels, give us wants to find them. that will be about some one is going out the best i

know because of this rebels we have fled oh home. that's why we're angry. and we would just burn these un vehicles because the mission is making us suffer us, did it got, you know, thousands of people protested and go mad denouncing rwandan aggression. and it's allege support of m 20 through fighters and allegation that rwanda denies the situation. and the d. r. c's east has worse and recently with insurgents sees in control of 2 major towns last weekend, doubling the territory. they now hold after fierce fighting with the military earlier the d. r. c. expelled there were wanted ambassador, and also recalled its top envoy from the country, independent analysts, our content. jake says that the congolese government has turned to military force because of the rapidly deteriorating situation and the region. when you look in the congo as a new comma in the east africa community, for instance, the expectation was peaceful every one and every day for every one. anything can

happen anytime in the st. john's. congress been facing these for the last 20 years . congress, titles that and relation of kimberly's seriously don't that. and the leaders of colon political leaders, google needs new answers to the needs of each other. onset is including military asses, tinker, nothing can be excluded. his mental it's monday to. ready convo need is to give solutions to the situation, including with his doctor only it will all about the results easy. go being taken away by different forces around some bridges together with a proven by made reports as

the western world, the real i met as sanctions and duke energy prices. japan has decided to retain its 30 percent stake and a major russian oil and gas project. japan's economic and trade minister said the operation is extremely important for his countries energy security. however. a the move flies in the face of an earlier commitment by g 7 states to ban russian oil the decision. com does japan's consumer inflation rate has risen to an 8 year high . the cost of electricity has increased by more than 21 percent. and gas prices have also skyrocketed by more than 19 percent. archie contributor rachel mars that has more on the issue off until now, japan is pretty much just fall in line with the ross, the west anti russians nations. and as part of the western lead g 7 care was expected to participate in the russian oil price caps at washington. as ginny, off in the attempt to limit russian oil revenues. now,

because an oil or oil fires cartels and only really work is in the country, sign on. well, this could be a problem. so washington figured out that the very least they could call the shots for all of its g 7 allies. now, earlier this year, the group even pledged to phase out russian oil important. it's not like 7 countries are going to be able to control the global markets for oil or for anything else. maybe enough to get some decent virtue signaling going and maybe keep ukrainian present primaries lensky, off their backs for a few minutes. but now tokyo has ruined the whole spectacle of unity by announcing that would stick with brushes. sharleen, one whale and gas projects, which american multinational exxon mobil pulled out of earlier this year. japan government and oil executives are explaining that the country needs russian energy to survive. unlike europe or the us, japan depends on overseas for almost all of its energy needs. so it's not possible

to cut off ties with russia because of the sanctions. in reality, we cannot survive unless we continue to import from russia even if the volumes are smaller. so this is the 1st time that a major us ally has decided that the interest of its own economy and citizens are more important than complying with washington demands in its effort to contain russia. it's no wonder since japan's inflation rate for electricity as at 21.5 percent. and that 1900.4 percent or gas. so i guess japanese leaders are just going to pretend that something like short showers or turtle neck can fix problems like this on european leaders. so speaking of which the big question now is, what is the us going to do about it on ish japan or just let it slide? and this is a really interesting litmus test for all western allies. we're really feeling the

pressure to sell out their own interest just to keep up appearances with respect to unity and ukraine. the european union in particular, must be watching this and thinking what you mean. we could have just said no and drawn a red line at sanctioning our own russian gas supply. because well, that's pretty much exactly what japan was just done. and so far, crickets from washington, we heard from a senior lecture at the university of bath, is as japan needs as a g 7 partners to understand its domestic situation. japan has to make the teeth of an all, i understand her position is very different from other european and also western powers. it is important to note making yourself having that relationship with all these major nuclear powers next to you. and so this is, this is reasonable that the japanese the tissue to couple and decided that,

that they need to at least mitigate that relationship with one of them deepened the fact that japan has already alive with the us and the western power to contain men, to criticize and sanction russia. today they meet this new turn in a simple trying to slow down the downward spiral off their relationship with russia. ukrainian investigators have discovered a helicopter, hidden inside a shipping container, reportedly waiting to be smuggled out of the country from the port of odessa. the discovery comes amid rising concerns about weapons pouring out of ukraine and into the hands of criminal and terrorist group. just last week finish, police reported that western supplied weapons had been found in multiple european countries. meanwhile, a senior us army official has stated that american military personnel are now on

the ground in ukraine to keep track of the billions of dollars worth of weapons and other equipment western powers have supplied to kiev. this claim comes as a u. s. government issued its 1st ever detailed plan on countering weapons by going from ukraine. it's largely focused on stopping black market supplies of javelin and stinger missiles from ending up in criminals. hans, but the us has admitted it's difficult to conduct sufficient monitoring because of the quote nature of combat. for marcia analysts, larry johnson settled your, your motives could be at play with the latest us weapons inspections in maybe in the next week or so. we'll learn that there have been us casualties on the ground in ukraine, and that can be attributed they will say to, they were doing weapons inspections. when you read some of the news reports on this, it just doesn't make sense. they said, for example, both these inspectors, they're not going to go to the front line. well, yeah, the film go inspect time,

ours m triple 7. and those are back from the front line. but that's where the russians are carrying out attacks. i think the fact that this news is coming out now is the sign sort of a desperation and panic on the part of the west. they, the conventional approach was not working. they're trying to get more personnel in their help actually operate some of these weapons systems. the notion that these are guys with green shades walking around, just recording where the, where the javelin, the stingers, and the high mars are going is nonsense. this is, i think, really more of a cover story to explain as a, as it will emerge. i think in the coming days that there have been us casualties as a result of some of the russian missile strikes. and that's all for now. research check out r t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour.

the ah ah so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how

that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk ah, that everything is changing. and one of the elements of this picture is that the dispersed, the effect of the west or counter attack to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia in their real amy's. of course, saving the 500 years of their domination and the emitter intermediate, a basis on demand china. now a bunch of domains, china, they have to 1st to take out rush. mm.

a new choice, medical mumbo blog post. that is to make sure i can keep a twinge, quit document on the basis and then i can put a bunch of kids for me if you want to push more there. did you get a place that official radius to most people much did a lot of what i did that if between 2 pm course 9. that's what i mean that i feel general which doesn't feel like if we had what i was not, there is no good fun. don't come crow by extra for holding the picture where data is using this to hold. you go to the broker insurance card group company. what company is it a company that was more when they did this? kimberly put us. 5 those, this is latoya e. yeah. what else i made because i thought it was the last. no with it
