what we're facing, which is fashion with, with coal, but similar, we actually in the west, in 2015 when residents of crimea were left without water and electricity due to ukraine. actually not to mentioned the dumbasses, which has been stopped up. economic oxygen for 8 years. lost our heads out at western hypocrisy at the un security council criticizing its lack of response, ukrainian blockades and crimea, and don bass bass. i'm in math and black out in ukraine following russian strikes. that's as the european parliament labels, russia, a state sponsor of terrorism. and a non binding resolution slammed as absurd tie moscow and

a teenage boy is killed and at least 18 more are wounded in a twin bus stop explosions in jerusalem. local police have brand is the incident a terror attack a month out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories would be our welcome to the program. we begin with the latest in the ukraine, conflicts as the united nations security council has again gathered for an urgent meeting. russia is representative, pointed at western double standards when blaming russia for its actions, but forgetting ukraine's blockade of crimea and the don bass sewer pneumonia as a many lamented that the residence of ukraine are at risk of being left without electricity and water. but we don't recall

a similar reaction in the west in 2015 when residents of crimea were left without water and electricity due to ukraine's actions. not to mention the dumbass, which has been starved off economic oxygen for 8 years. for more or less, less cross live now 2 archie corresponding caleb mop and joining us from new york. now caleb, what are the key takeaways of the latest u. n. s c meeting. while this was an emergency meeting of the un security council and it took place to discuss the fact that there is shelling, taking place against ukrainian forces that much of your grains infrastructure has been damaged. and it's important to note that black mirrors the lindsey, the president of ukraine, who is not a member of the un security council. he was unable to address the un security council meeting via video hookup. and while he was speaking, the writing forces were shelling. don ask,

now when the russian ambassador and to bend the to the floor of the un security council meeting, he pointed out that the lindsey, speaking to the meeting, violates the standard protocols that are practice, that un security council needing that, having him speak via video hook up when he is not himself, a member or ukraine is not a member of the security council. this simply is a violation of how the security council operates. he then, from there, went on to point out that these, over the top allegations against russia accusing russia of terrorism is simply not correct. the basis of these allegations is, photographs that have showed up online, showing a civilian building, allegedly damaged by russia. however, if you look at the details of the photograph that appears to be a ukrainian air defense missile that struck this building, this is not a missile that russia has. rather, this is one of the weapons that has been provided to the government by the western

country sign simply is not a case of russia committing terrorism against civilian. now he also went on to point out that, that russia is, it is at this point carefully documenting the crimes being committed by ukrainian forces and that they have been continuously documenting and bringing those crimes to international bodies that there have been hears, executions of prisoners of war and he called on the un to investigate the executions of prisoners of war, which is a war crime described atrocity that are being committed by ukrainian forces. it appears ultra national of. busy elements, the ukrainian forces have been cutting off the years of prisoners. they've been executing prisoners, the hanging. i mean, the atrocities being committed by ukrainian forces are being well documented by russia. yet, the western countries, they seem to ignore all of it. and they don't seem to call us meetings to address

it and all the while as these atrocities are being committed. and as they claim to care about the branding of people, the western countries continue to push for expanding this conflict. kiev once more weapon wants to prolong the fighting, it seems unconcerned about the realities facing the people on the ground as the conflicts intensify are worth one and caleb mob. and thank you for that report. while ukrainian president vladimir zelinski, called on the un to adopt another anti russian resolution on condemning any form of energy, terror, european, parliament, resolution branding, russia, a sponsor of terrorism, was condemned as absurd by russia's permanent mission to the you man, the so the you repeat polymer gave the member states the idea of creating the regulator, a framework for the european union, for the qualification of countries as sponsors of terrorism, or use and terrorist methods. in order to dispel any doubts about who exactly there

were talking about, an appeal was made to european capital to include russia in the blacklist the absurdity of such a proposal is obvious to all except the man bustle, the repeal parliaments, who supported his. the resolution was passed with 500 of the 705 members voting in favor, 58 against and the rest abstaining. while the motion has no legal consequences for moscow, the block has called for a legal framework to be developed in the u. this is different to the us list of state sponsors of terrorism, where country space economic consequences ones listed just by some discussions. russia has not been listed as such by washington as well as branding, russia, a pair sponsor. the resolution went further determining who holds the monopoly on truth one reporting on the conflict in ukraine. the e o parliament appeals to all russian people not only to refuse to be dragged into

this war, but also to protest against the atrocious war crimes against the people of ukraine commenced. the war of ukrainian and the international journalists hotel, the world, the truth about the war in ukraine often risk in their own lives to do so. so can you put actual sick it's of normal that the actions of the e u. lead to an escalation of the conflict. it instead of contributing to the conclusion of peace treaty of having voted this week for resolution, recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. the european parliament perceives exclusively its own communicated tasks, since there is no concept of a state sponsor of terrorism. in the european legal system, i call our parliament is saturated with unconditional hatred towards russia. these parliament will support any measure that goes against moscow's policy, even if it will not bring any benefits. the e u has exhausted all possible means in this war nivia. we are already at the stage of preparing a 9th package of sanctions against russia. after 8 months of war was there and some belief that it is necessary to insist that obese,

shameful sanction being pose and moscow, which we did not want to apply to the taliban movement in afghanistan, nor to his lamb as groups in the sa, held up what is left for us after the exhaustion of all possible sanctions against moscow. it leaves war the sponsors of least resolution want to push us to war, but put in this wishes of president zaleski, above the vital interests of the french people. if you put the coffee, i take a closer look at western double standards, which have once again emerge them in the recent resolution declaring rache states wants her of terrorism. the deliberate attacks and atrocities carried out by the russian federation against the civilian population of ukraine. the destruction of civilian infrastructure and other serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. amount to acts of terror against the ukrainian population and constitute war crimes. they give him, parliament seems to have a very selective memory. and that appears that the only people who are categorized as victims are those that the west supports anything else or any one else is

ignored. so let's break it down a tax against the civilian population of ukraine. well, where was the european parliament in the last 8 years? thousands of ukrainians had been killed by their own so far. and remember the tragic scenes from the odessa massacre, no outfit, no accountability whatsoever. the ports and the resolution about russia targeting residential areas, schools, hospitals, and so on. i haven't got confused for a 2nd, assuming that this was about the ukrainian forces bots. no crimean bridge, anyone at one point they mention a threat to a european security. well, who blow up rushes north soon? gas pipelines which passed through europe, rasa says it's not guilty. how about the videos of russian peel doubling has been tortured in violation of the geneva convention. that doesn't matter either. they only remember rules and regulations when it's time to use them against russia. i

think russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman put at best. the resolution also blames russia for the global food crisis. even though russia agreed. so grained deal with the cranes to ensure those who need food the most will get it so far. it's europe who got most of the grains, apparently under the u. n. world food program, which implies assistance to countries and need only 2 ships were loaded. i emphasize only 2 out of 876-0000 tons of food were exported on them. of the 2000000 tons. this is only 3 percent that sense of developing countries. russia doesn't need any grain deal or ukraine, so help out those in need. it has announced that it will not only send $500000.00 tons of grain to the poorest countries for free, but it has also already exports at sand point $5000000.00 tons of grain to countries in asia and africa 30 more on their way. and they're aiming to bring that number to 50000000 tons with fertilizers by the end of this year. and now let's see

what the european parliament is accusing rush of. whereas russia has been weapon, ising food and hunger since the beginning of the war. whereas russia's deliberate actions, including destroying stocks, disrupting production and imposing quotas on its own exports of foodstuffs and fertilizers, have exacerbated the global food security crisis. and let's move on to another aspect of this resolution was just comical when you consider who it's coming from. the european parliament is accused in russian armed forces and proxies of targeting civilians in other locations other conflicts, including during the 2nd chechen war that 2008 to russia, georgia war and the syrian civil war, as well as libya and it goes on and on so when russia defends its own region from terrorism, like in chechnya, it's terrorism where russia response an attack on its peacemakers. like in georgia, that's also terrorism. and when a country asks russia for help in the fight against terrorism and russia provides

it like in syria, you guess that that's actually also terrorism. however, when america, europe provide weapons and funding that ends up in the hands of terrorists, they are freedom fighters. thankfully, the world is much bigger than the european union and the united states of america, no matter how hard they try to silence voices that refused to follow their line. my colleague worry, sir. she spoke earlier with human and labor rights lawyer, dan corvalle and international lawyer are not the way to discuss the potential consequences of the measure. i think it just adds fuel to the fire, certainly. but i just want to say that how ridiculous that is, you know, people need to be reminded that the 1st world leader to call george w bush, after 911, was potent to offer condolences offer help on the war and terror and pollutants gave help in the war in terror, particularly an afghan, a stay where russia still had assets after the soviet presence there. and of course,

well, and i've been to syria twice. i was last year and there you see that the russians have help fight ice is there while it's the u. s in the west, which has helped them at time. right. so that's the irony of these types of resolutions, but they're dangerous resolutions because what it means is that it's going to cut russia off from the west on a, on a fairly done. and i'm in a permanent level, but on a long term basis. and i just don't think that's good for anybody you have just returned from don bass. if you would give us a sense of your experience that what's, what's happening on the ground there right now? well, we spent most of the time internet city and. 1 what i was impressed with, i mean, honestly, is the normal see in the city, you know, traffic, people going to work, people going to restaurants, people going shopping. and i was told that actually that type of vibrancy really

started happening after the referendum in september. the people feel a little safer and better now with that said, there was some shelling while with we were they are school was hit, a place where people go to get water because the water treatment facility had been damaged quite a while ago by shelling from the key of government and the stadium was shelled. so there's regular shelling. but with in their context there is a feeling of normalcy. and that, that, that's what i was impressed by actually willingness could. there's this sense of normalcy. but it's kind of a of something that induces you into thinking at its normal. it's a defense mechanism. people need to carry on with their lives. at the same time, mom, we really understood that at any moment you could be targeted. whether you are a school or pending student, whether you're going to a hospital, whether you attending the market. so people have been integrated, you know,

some kind of a defense mechanism bearing on trying to reduce the risk. but the risk is always there. and this can strike all the time that one person has been killed and at least 18 others wound it into explosions at bus stops in jerusalem. a teenage boy who studied at a nearby jewish school has been identified as the person killed. and what is reli? officials are calling a coordinated terror attack. the blast occurred during the morning rush hour. police say both bombs were in bags that were planted in bushes or chew city bus stations, and at the explosives which were packed with nails, were detonated remotely. there is an active search for suspects and the local terror threat level has been raised to maximum, no one as of yet has claim responsibility. some media have reported on statements coming in from several armed palestinian groups, including the militant wing of hamas, which allegedly praised the bloss ortiz. maria phenomena is in the city and sent us

this report earlier. i am now in easton, jerusalem. there were no neg as shapes the police headquarters are behind me. and the latest that we hear from these rally police is that they suspect both explosions that happened here earlier on wednesday morning, were caused by near identical remotely detonated explosive devices left in a bag. and we hear from the police spokesperson, but the legal authorities right now are considering what happened, a combined terror attack. no one so far, took responsibility for the explosions. and we hear from the car denita of government activities in the territories. this is the special body within these rally defense minutes for responsible for palestinian affair, is that the checkpoints that are predominantly used daily by arab israeli to go to we're going to see their families are now closed until further notice for security

reasons. we have been at the scene and we have been able to speak to a police person. let's take a listen right now. what he's saying about what happened and what the police is right now doing this is grave incident. as far as we know, there were 2 attacks and there's a high possibility of a connection between them. i hope you will find the terrorist and there are organizations, if there's a connection between the incidence and it's something bigger than somebody just deciding to commit an attack this morning. the 1st explosion happens at a bus stop not far from jerusalem central bus station at the rush hour. and there were so many people there at that time trying to get buses and trains to go through a work around 7 a. m a local time and just minutes later there was another explosion happened in northern de, russo at the intersection of remote neighborhood. and we were at the scene of the 1st explosion like an hour after it happened. and we were trying to do our lives

when a person shouting something very aggressively in hebrew, jumped into like our camera, and he was filming me and shouting something that i later realized was the month to call what happened a terror attack. but he was asking that before, actually the police confirmed that and determined what happened as there were a tag. so i tried to explain to him that i can not do that until a legal authorities do that. but he was actually not ready to listen. he was shouting and then at group a big group of students from religious schools, join him and they started following us. and filming, and saying that we have to say this is tara, or attack that because of the explosions, classes were cancelled in the religious schools around the areas of the explosion.

so the students out were outside and this is what they decided to do. they were following us and pushing and actually they were some aggressive like shouts over there that i would not like to repeat here. but we can say that tensions are very high here. this region has been experiencing and facing extremely violent time recently. but predominantly in the west bank and for the 1st time in some time the attacks happened here in jerusalem. and of course, there is a lot of fear, a lot of frustration and anger with everybody, blaming everybody. but we have to be careful with what we are saying, and we have to wait for the confirmation about everything from legal authority. so i'll keep you updated on how it goes here on the ground. since

taking over the reins of twitter, you on mosque has been keen to brag that the platforms open for expressing any opinion as is obvious to all but the media. there is not one permanent ban on even the most far left to count spouting, utter lies twitters. actual policies though seem to prove the opposite. take, for example, the account of geopolitical analysts, garland nixon. it was suspended for quote, hateful con, back a came after garland suggested in a tweet that the u. s. secretary of state was involved in the north stream pipeline explosion and supported the neo nazi as a battalion. but this suspension saw others on the platform raising questions. things i don't seen this tweet that allegedly violated twitch rules, promotion of violence, hate speech threats, or harassment based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, etc. i do see an over the top satirical critique of a top u. s. official. is that

a legal now left when antiwar account gallon nixon was banned to die for using a human to tell the truth about years foreign policy. and it's been disabled that we spoke with garland nixon himself, and he insisted his tweet with satire. and as the decision to suspend his account may be politically linked. when i look at the comment that i made, clearly it was satire. and there's an article i'm looking at right now and i will read it. i will read the title of this article. now i made a joke, but this is the title of an article. why twitter won't remove lindsey graham's tweet about assassinating pollutant. so lindsey graham can say, assassinate the leader of a country that's not threatening, we can go want to adam, kansas gor threatened to beat a guy up on twitter dunny and these weren't jokes. so you can threaten death upon the leader of a country. no problem on twitter, but if you make a joke about anthony blinking, that pushes back against imperialism, you're likely to be tossed off the platform satire and parody are protected under

the 1st amendment. jokes and comedy are protected. in fact, even speech that is incorrect, you are protected under the 1st amendment. you can be wrong, but in particular parody satire, which is all that i did, li line, moscow said he's going to make changes. but if you look at his history, here's a guy who basically owes his fortune to the u. s. government, or they don't have to tell him what to do. he knows the rules and he can pretend to be pushing back against the rules, but he can't really do it. ah, our media has been hosting a summit of the collective security treaty organization where the kremlin spokesman talked about the future of the alliances, cooperation parties. donald corridor brings us more details from the summit. i am here in the capital of armenia yerevan, where this summit of this c s t o, the collective security treaty organization has just come to an end. the leadership of all the member organizations had were here and attendance, the president's the defense ministers of each country,

hoping that this is also going to contribute to peace there. and dmitri pess. gov also spoke a bit about the ukraine conflict. he said that the, that the russian military spent a special military operations objectives will be accomplished. and this is going to actually lead to the strengthening of the military organization itself. and armine, as capital of your event, nearly 100 people came out in protest against russia. before the summer began, the demonstrations came ahead of an appearance by law mere ned, the alliances meeting protesters demanded their country, quit the russian lead coalition accusing it of not coming to armine as a during classes with other by john in september, while a handful of others called for an end to the conflict and you frame a pro. russian rally was also help with supporters seen waving ration flags and banners. they called for closer ties with russia,

with others asking who to assist and the return of armenian prisoners of the war from oz or by john security situation in west africa remains unstable. the latest terrorist attack and chat has left 10 soldiers that you're the nigerian border on tuesday. the soldiers from chad had been sent to support an army post when they were attacked by boca herana terrorist. the g hottest group remains active in the region regularly attacking soldiers and civilians. meanwhile, at a meeting at the acura initiative, gone as president has shared concerns over the years, a law make insurgency in this a how that threatens to do stabilize the whole region of west africa today. the terrorist groups, emboldened by their apparent success in the region, are seeking new operation grounds. a development that has triggered software drift of the menace from this a hell to coastal west africa. concerned well over the possible return of terrorist

groups in the region, which includes burkina, faso, niger, chad, and others. this comes as western powers led by france, withdrew peacekeepers from molly after nearly a decade of operations in the region with no significant result. for now, an african center for terrorism study reports, 179 attacks and over 1900 casualties. and the 1st half of this year alone is his journalist, wednesday and tacky. told us more about the crisis and the sal reagan and the acura summers problems and combating the regional threats. is a house in the most rapid, gorgeous bowling extreme is activity of any region in africa over the past 2 years . the region is also a nexus of criminal networks on illicit traffic in it. and as, as perience arising pharma head valez, a 2005 volunteer went observed. indeed, a hell,

at the top of the hour. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk ah, in 2022. the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine. coordination with nature to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a week or even i told me bombs are hearing all the same
