the elderly smyser says several russian service men have been killed and others wounded after ukrainian drones exploded at 2 russian airfields after being shot down by air defense systems. the incidents happen deep inside russia. hundreds of kilometers from the ukrainian border. mazda al, says kiev used soviet era long range drones to carry out the attacks. loaded by them. 3 russian military technicians who were at the air fields were fatally wounded. for other service men who needed were taken to medical facilities where they received all the necessary treatments. despite the attempts of the king regime to disrupt the combat activity, the russian long range aviation by means of a terrorist act. a massive blow has been dealt to the ukrainian military command and control system and related facilities of the defense complex, as well as communication and energy centers known as rheumatoid. meanwhile, the press secretary of ukraine's neo nazi as of battalion has been on a tour of the u. s. visiting pro ukraine events during his trip. dmitri kazinsky

was picture with hollywood actors, sean penn, as well as the u. s. law maker and is even reported to have visited the state department earlier because that's k posted multiple images featuring nazi symbols on his twitter page which were later deleted the images showed neo nazi t shirts. and his wardrobe a top 2 of a double armed swastika. similar to those warned by german concentration camp guards and a swastika inspired pizza, human and labor rights lawyer, dan paval, i believe support of the far right has been a part of us foreign policy for decades. well, i mean, i think where to go back to the reality that the u. s. has been supporting neo nazis and even nazis hardcore nazis in crane for about 80 years old. these are the friends of the u. s. these are the folks that the u. s. is using it's world 1st against the soviet union and now against russia. so really, it's not surprising at all. this is part and parcel of

u. s. foreign policy for decades. what i guess is knew about it is that now you've been have celebrities like sean penn embracing these people, i guess that's what's really do. people have been programmed now to view the ads, our battalion as heroes of ukraine and the fight against russia. it's an incredible thing that really we witnessed only since february, right. i mean, so the media campaign has been amazingly effective at to convincing the population of the u. s. ironically, particularly the liberal population, right. the rank and file, the democratic party, that the, as all battalion or the good guy as some balkan nations apparently begin to lose hope and joining the you and start to look for alternative future partners. the block is taking closer notice of its allies in the region with the 1st ever summit between you and western balkan states take off later this tuesday. our

t contributor rachel mars then looks into the political lay out ahead of the of that. so the european union is waiting back into one of the west's historical mine fields this week. nato's war in yugoslavia comes immediately to mind and are holding a summit. the kicks off today between the blocks leadership and the balkan states. now the main purpose of the event is to keep these countries waiting around for the you to call them up and make a commitment of membership dangling the carrot. but like someone who sits at home waiting for the phone to ring and hoping that you know, it's there crush, asking the mote on a date. finally, while these countries are getting a little tired of just sitting around, it is true that poles in the last 18 months, both in our country and in our region, show decline and support for the you. we objectively do not see that the european integration process is moving forward. to make matters worse, the balkans had to contend with the spectacle this year of the you gushing over ukraine and falling all over itself,

talking about how badly it really wants keith. can you imagine even waiting years for brussels to make a commitment put a ring on it, or even to show signs it's serious about the relationship? and suddenly it only has eyes for keith and can't talk about anything else. so it's nice awfully surprising that the citizens of these countries feel that maybe the block simply isn't marriage material. 55 percent of north macedonia and have a negative view of the you just 21 percent of serbs see the you positively with majority of them against joining the block for the 1st time and confidence in european institutions has dipped in the view of citizens and albania and bosnia and herzegovina as well. so why is that you running over there now, for a big summit? it basically comes down to the fact that they're worried about another guy stealing their gal, specifically china or russia. the ease,

lack of engagement and credibility over the past few years has created a vacuum, thereby opening up space for russia, china, and other malign 3rd actors. oh, so it was the, the russians in those are the woodson. welcome what we need more euro and the wizard will get so this is the new we thought yes, leveraging to be more present. there was a survey as a big ally of russia and it's president alexander who kitch said recently that the countries ties with albania and north macedonia in particular, have never been better. even though albania in particular, has been viewed over the past couple of decades by the west, as one of its staunchest allies, including militarily, by committing troops to american efforts in afghanistan and rock. and serbia is not on board with the e u and its anti russian sanctions. and agenda, serbia could change its position on imposing sanctions on russia. only if the sword

of damocles literally hangs over us right now, that is not the case. so the e, you could be concerned that other balkan countries that followed the western sanctions could start comparing their economic and energy challenges this winter to serbia situation as serbia imports about 85 percent of its gas, russia. and maybe these other states will start wondering if they'd be better off splitting up from their fair weather suitors. and now to indonesia were mount summary erupted on saturday, causing almost 2000 people to be evacuated from the surrounding area. no casualties were reported. clouds of ash viewed 15 kilometers into the sky with authorities raising the volcanoes morning status to the highest level. locals have been relocated in shelters and provided with mass to protect them from dust clouds. some ru mountain also erupted last year. 50 people were killed and 10000 evacuated. and

that incident the new york times has re written an article about eden disbanding the morality police since. since coming out with an article that the guidance patrol in iran had been abolished the new york times published an amended story the next day, claiming the decision was merely hinted at by a government official. the tone of the article was also changed, clarifying that it was unclear if the suspension of the police actually had been officially confirmed or denied. to further discuss the issue. let's cross over to steve gail radio host and political commentator. welcome nice to see you. hey, thank you. why do you think the new york times re wrote and published the article quietly without an official retraction? i think because it would have been even more embarrassing,

although marginally so if they just deleted the story and pretended it never happened. the bottom line is they ran a story that was absolutely incorrect. they changed the headline, they changed the story. they changed the whole report and then acted like it was just an edit to a previous story, rather than completely going a $180.00 degrees. but unfortunately, this is becoming consistent with the new york times were now at about day 4 of eli must releasing all of his twitter insider information that shows that the mainstream media, the, the department of justice, the by the administration were literally coordinating stories that were negative against their political opponents and protecting joe biden and his family and the new york times the washington post. abc, nbc, cnn, the major media outlets and us have not even reported it if at all or just mentioned it in passing, that they are in the business of propaganda. not in the business of news reporting

any more. right, so you mentioned the twitter files, you know, reporting pretty much what so many people had claimed to be true. how does this incident re writing an article without clarifying the changes correspond with professional journalistic ethics? by think it shows that they have neither professionalism, nor ethics. and we've been seeing that for a long time with the new york times they pick and choose their stories, they pick and choose sides. and that's not what journalism is supposed to be about . the sad thing is the democracy, again, whether it's russia, whether it's in the united states, depends on an informed and engaged electorate. and if they're not inform properly, if they're ill informed, they're not going to be engaged, or they're going to be engaged. we're going to be engaged with wrong information. so i think this is more dangerous than just bad reporting, bad ethics, bad journalism. this really undercuts the very fabric of democracy, which again depends on people knowing the truth and then responding accordingly at the ballot box. right, and in instances of war time,

especially what consequences can follow from the publishing of misleading information bearing in mind the impact that it could have on public opinion. well, 1st of all, the other folks in iraq that are getting this information and maybe by maybe led to believe that their government is somehow responding to what they're doing and, and they'll either back off or they'll be more aggressive in either case, it can have dire consequences in a time when the mainstream media has pick sides, whether it's in coven, whether it's in the ukrainian or russian war, people who are informed badly make decisions that are bad for themselves. i think we've seen it with cobit now is more and more information is coming out. what we were being told is not only harmful to our health, but maybe deadly as well. and we're still not getting the truth from people like the new york times about that or about what's really going on. and you're right. yeah, and i mean, how would you explain the increasing instances of western media quickly changing

their narrative. this isn't the 1st time, for instance, with the allegations of a russian missile heading, poland, or the russian foreign ministry. ministers falsely reported hospitalization and bali, or the ghost of gf, shutting down or shooting down numerous russian planes. are this the soldiers on that island, on the coast? it, supposedly you effectively moon, the russian fleet are all wiped out. turns out they all surrendered is just to get a pattern of misinformation and dis, information that has to go beyond mere in confidence to i think in chance. and i think that's why you're seeing the major media outlets here in the united states. again, whether it's cnn, whether it's the major networks, see their viewership slip and their impact slip as well. they don't have the ability to be credible with the public anymore. i think again, that's not only harmful to their bottom line. it's harmful to the very fabric of democracy, radio host and political commentator, steve, gail,

thank you very much. thanks ah, the south african parliament hospice boned a long awaited vote on impeachment proceedings against president sarah ram of fossa . last week, the leader found himself in hot water after a pro revealed he may have been involved in serious misconduct or corresponded in johannesburg. has more on the story. the clouds loomed large over the johanna's big skyline, matching the cloud looming over president. settled on my partner and his ruling african national congress. today the parties tom brought the e s e 's national executive committee, which is the highest decision making body between conferences med here in nazareth, south of johannesburg to decide whether or not to dub the racial report that found that president obama porter has an impeachable case. to answer this follows a robbery, a drama as private game farm in february 2020 way,

an estimated 500000 us dollars in hot currency was stolen. raising many questions as to the president's conduct and why the sped move was not reported on to the police. now rama boys stood here today on the day of his political idol, nelson mandela's passing some 9 years ago as he's our life fought for his political life. this is also the eve of parliament, last thing for the year, and is a day where political parties, opposition, political parties are expected to either vote for impeachment proceedings. all a vote of no confidence against precedents settled on my part. but as the n e c said here to decide on the future, they themselves were not unanimous as to whether or not to support president obama was following about 8 hours of a meeting that was really expected to be

a formality. and that is really how paul must be with the treasure. a general of the african national congress battled to some of the sentiment of the 80 that meets year to decide on important issues. the president of the amc comedy settled on my posts or attended the sessions any c meeting and made the remarks after which he was allowed to recuse himself. the any soon resolved that the any fee will vote against the adoption of that part of the section $8900.00 given the effect that their report has now been taken on review by the president, the president settled on puerto is legally challenging the findings of the

independent panel report by applying for direct access as we understand to the countries highest court, and despite the acrimony of consensus that was achieved here by the national executive committee, it still remains to be seen whether the parliamentarian of the party will told the party line a thumb have voiced their interest to vote with their conscience and less following of the party live. gotta believe how to fill out a t south of july and is back the military and civilian leaders and to dont have agreed upon a preliminary deal that would see the army step away from political dealings. the agreement is an attempt to end crises sparked by a military coup that has gripped the country for over a year. oh. ready the withdrawal of the military institution from politics has become necessary to establish

a democratic regime. this requires fanning political parties from using the military institution to seize power as has happened several times before. in order to build a national professional army which is independent from politics. to achieve this, serious reforms must be conducted. negotiations were held in the presence of you and officials and foreign diplomats. the framework agreement lays out a plan for establishing a transitional civilian authority. in the upcoming weeks, assigning comes months after saddam's president fledged, the military would step aside and make way for other parties to work in kenya, kicky, you, community leaders are fighting to reclaim relics of their cultural heritage. taken by the british during the colonial era. doe museum, mia, you key if you happen to visit museums in england, you will find more than 500 artifacts belonging to the crew community which were forcefully taken by the british. these cultural artifacts are worth close to

$81500000.00. and honestly they are ours. they were mostly taken from cuckoo you leaders. i'm talking about cuckoo, you traditional outfits, the spears, the arrows, shields, ornaments, cooking utensils and other things which were used by respected leaders in our culture right now. you cannot find them anywhere unless i travel to england. global are artifacts were stolen by the british and are being stored in english museums. it's time we get them back so that we can build our own museums in cuckoo land for the generations to come africa, not sound, but also the kick. who you are the largest ethnic group in kenya and have lived in the area for centuries. much of their cultural heritage was stolen by the british. the natives have appealed to the canyon deputy president for the return of the stolen artifacts in order to build their own museum. into do keep you in museums. i won't be any here in kenya, in alt effects. it was stolen by the british should be brought back immediately

near dawn. it. oh if all government is capable of working things out, then it will be good news. we would appreciate if all the artifacts come back to our motherland. what. what is the white man disrupted? our way of life, our traditions and culture were totally affected and to make matters worse, they stole our cultural artifacts in africa is not alone in the outreach at british . plundering as greece is demanding the return of h m. part the non marbles stolen by the brits. the country's government refuses to return cultural objects despite the public support. you can read this and much more on our website at r t dot com. the french radio station are f. i has opposed to bertina foss. those government decision to suspend its broadcast in the country. officials accused the broadcaster of spreading misleading information about terrorist organizations and fakes about the interim president of the country

. a local reporter brings more details new grant between booking for so and for is for a radio price international officially forbid. air is program. it will kill reasons . last weekend i will pass the the height of brains. i leader jeff decal that sense a warning. the phase 2 civilians, a bulky enough for decided to get me wrong, as volunteer to fight. we're booking an army against the decision of will killer to sustain, reprogram or edify him. not surprised people here was i agree with the government because for me, there is a risk that our a fi spread fake news. so if our fi aires information that is not true or goes against homeland security, i think it's bad money or bank. the way the journalists have, all right, like treat information. there is no equality, no violence, no professionalism,

everything or if i says is against this decision should be taken early. the existence of r, f, i in africa is a crime or western media should go home because there are more stories and more news to be covered back that we support our government. we asked them to keep going further. the new card, new reason. it's one of the solutions to fight terrorism because there are secrets that cannot be published and we need to stay discrete to achieve our goals. because we know terrorists are everywhere. they are on social media. i fully endorse the decision. there are decisions to be taken, and this is the beginning of these decisions. if the departure of frances are f, i has to happen, it has to be because we know that our f, i is an instrument of france. the stuff off at his express, his disappointment, it bode with the seizure of the full refusal fossil 2 cups. the signal over it is fisher with fossil fuels this purple money where i am for an early fall

off since april 27th. the chairman of britain's rolling conservative party has been accused of insulting the countries file for workers by claiming a strike called for later this month would help vladimir putin. her comments have been called ludicrous using russia's war in ukraine as a justification for real terms. pay cut for nurses in the u. k. as a new low for this government. the public does not believe this kind of rhetoric and wants ministers to address our dispute to us for 90 percent pay wise, which costs just 10000000000 pounds. i think it's, it's the wrong thing to do. we have to come together. this is not a time to be divided 2, i hope said the very clear mister mister fusion, that he can't use energy as a weapon in this way and we will remain united, which is why we've accepted accepted the peer review. but he's like an address. i guess i go to schools, you know, some 20 grand a year. you would think that maybe there are other ways of sending putin

a clear message on your credit. it may comes as nurse as an ambulance drivers plan to strike for 2 days later this month with inflation running at 11 percent. the royal college of nurses has asked for a raise higher than the 3 percent of offer. i've shin returns the host of going under ground, says that the chairman's comments show how low the british government is prepared to go to push their narrative against russia. the fact that the chairman of britons, the ruling conservative party, is telling the nurses of britain this striking is helping putin in ukraine, shows how low, according to royal college of nurses. the british government has sunk. they want to cut the pay of nurses only a few months ago. they were saying we should clap the nurses as they existed on their low pay to save human life during the covered pandemic. today, that's all but forgotten, as is forgotten,

the importance of infrastructure. this winter, huge swathes of british industry will be going on strike from the mail service communication services to transport infrastructure, but it doesn't actually matter to no deletes that perhaps exist in the echo chamber, which they use on the media in britain, which is kylie restricted. some people call it or tell a tarion with the banning of any kind of descent, which believes that putin is losing the war in ukraine. that the minsk agreement to un security council resolution 2202 doesn't exist. and that nurses, if anything or living his are on far too much money, those were this hours most pressing new stories from around the glove for more up to the minute coverage had over the r t dot com. and don't forget to follow up on odyssey. robber

with ah ah, ah ah ah, a ah ah,

ah ah hello, welcome to was apart. sovereignty has long been a cherish geopolitical concept, which in a unipolar western centric world wars more easily preached than practice. but as the old order continues to crumble and more governments of hold to make hard and fast decisions on their own, what does it take to be a nation in your own right? to discuss them now joined by m. k. by there tomorrow,

in just former ambassador to turkey and becca, stan ambassador, it's great to see you. great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for inviting me. you know, i'm an avid student of eastern philosophy, particularly of an indian philosophy. and i know that for many indians, this notion, this concept of some, sorry, the notion of basically cali to you of all life is very important. and coincidentally, in sanskrit it also means the world. and i think at this point of time, we're witnessing the 2 meanings of these worth come together because the world is changing fast. the international system is morphing dramatically, both in economic and political terms, but it's still unclear what is it had of us. if i were to ask you to take out with your crystal ball and give us your forecast, what would you say to that? i'm unfortunately, i was just going to get this note in the sense that i don't see much of the

situation arresting. you've been improving if you have to sell it for this process with because there are certain fundamental issues in warranty or in terms of the world order they're working on the international system. and you know, there is that in pushing off all the rules based on the an arbitrary imposition since the cold war and, and the system has been building up. and now it is, in my opinion, it is crystallized and of the, those it's, it's the only one who can please. i think this is, this is pretty all over the world nationally where we go more broadly. can i ask you specifically about, let's say india,

because this is one of the countries that not only has a stake in the shaping a well, but it also has an influence to, you know, be, and in class or what, what do you think are some of the principles that are crucial for in your daily, in terms of how this new great world is shaping out. or you can use the most important factor, you know, be, or prime minister has said repeatedly that this is a war. and that 60 some. so they, are they station in thinking that we are living in on the quote. so number 2 in definitely figuring you're more comfortable just one order number 3 in india as a member of the order to signify that that india stands for
