hello today to sell dennis, so please, and when are you sending funds either like a a, the mail done yet, says the republic capital suffered it's most intense, a tax in 2014. that's not the ukrainian forces launched for to me files overnight with terms of the ukrainian forces to cross the for instead it's surrounding all of us as by think continues in the dumbass. all correspondence follows russian troops battling 4 key positions on the regions front lines. also this our joe biden vowels. he's all in

all africa. the u. s. africa summit that says washington decries the influence of china and russia in the region and beijing slums, the u. s. for playing power games, africa is not an arena for big power games, let alone the target of all the tree prussia from any country or person. washington should respect the world, the african peoples. ah morocco funds wreak havoc on the streets of europe, crushing with riot police after the football team loses to nil to france, and the people welcome ah, come into your life from our studio here in moscow. you're watching r t international minus peter scott's here with all the latest this that the lunch time. thank you for joining us. we start with news from the dance republic where

the mayor of the capital has said that at least 5 people have been injured after the city suffered some of the most in and shelling in 8 years. ah, ukrainian forces fired full cheek grad rockets, overnights leaving buildings ablaze. the city center was struck by $3000.00 damaging multiple civilian premises, including several residential box and the kindergarten. a rescue operation continues with many people, reportedly still trapped on the debris. one local shed, his terrifying experience hulu. the strike head at 7 a. m. the bang was so loud. it shook the house that the people who lived there had left a few days before. i don't know anything about the other neighbors was shelling also hits a local church, leaving his don't partially damaged or correspond that was at the scene. surely after the attack would functional borders we would do are you more than seeing the

size of this crater one can understand the type of shells being used to target civilian areas. most city center, windows of destroyed, direct hits on residential buildings. in the morning, i was walking on the street. when i saw an elderly man with wounded legs, fax to the swift arrival of medics. he was taken to hospital just in time. while i was fighting continues, the russian defense ministry says that several ukrainian sacks had been repelled in the loop, danced, republic, or correspondence. he could have done, of accompanied to russian troops on the front lines as they battle for key positions there. in these woods, just outside crim and ny danger lurks around every tree. what used to be one of ukraine's national parks is now one of the most heavily contested swathes of land and the dawn bass. i need me to put on there for the ukrainian forces, cross the river, and their mobile units shell, our checkpoints. our intelligence identified some of their strongholds here. their

main tactic is to attack, so they mostly work in mobile groups. artillery is useless here. walking single file, we follow the only path deemed safe towards brushes. positions our guide leads us to what looks like a long abandoned hut, but the 1st impression of desolation is deceiving. inside we meet russian soldiers from the mortar, battery hidden in the thicket. not far from here. this is our battalions command and observation point. we gather all the information about the targets and our battalions frontline. we decide what targets to attack with our mortars here. mm. i don't wanna

globally this meet is to quench any attempts of the ukrainian forces to cross the forest that is surrounding all of us. oh, what you see here is the equivalent of close quarter combat in the world of artillery. this mortar team is only about 2 may be 4 kilometers away from that targets. bigger guns and tanks provide extra fire power from further away to right now. the woodland here is in the grey zone. and whichever side concedes the ambition to take it will have to give up neighboring villages and towns to

suffering a painful tactical defeat maker's done of reporting from the dawn bass c. o coverage of the conflicts and ukraine is often one sided. as there are a few western media correspondence reporting from the ground in dumbass, that's according to johnny miller. he is a reporter from you on the press tv himself recently returned from done yet sky spoke to him earlier in the studio. it's incredibly tense and dangerous that the moment only returned a few days ago from the week before from saturday, 20 civilians have been killed that week alone. and the sense of danielle is being shelves by ukrainian forces. and the important story to realize is that we are intentionally shelling civilians, markets around the area. i've been to the boss stations with bodies in the st. youth, hostel youth center was hit the other day with 4 people were killed. and it's very difficult to see any military targets in don, yet good civilian areas. ukraine is trying to sometimes the target ministration buildings. sometimes they,

they often targets infrastructure like energy infrastructure schools, sometimes just random shelling. so what do you think this is so under reported in the western media, johnny? well, i think that's, that's the reason news happens where the journalists are, i think, has been no mainstream outlets from british or american companies that have occasionally been french, german, italian. but any mainstream of what is a lot of fantastic, mainstream, honest reporters working for mainstream channels in western countries. and if any of them were there living under the shelling, having the apartment bombs going to the boss stations, the civilians in the streets that have no choice to report exactly what i been reporting, that the vast majority supports russia and ukraine is intensely selling civilian. so i think that's why it's not been covered all in on africa. u. s. presidents has signed various deals as an ongoing summit with african nations in an apparent attempt to court the continent masses. washington seeks to recover influence in the region as the continent increasingly turns towards china and

russia. we've known for a long time, good after success and prosperity is essential to assure and a better future for all of us. not just for africa, united states is all in africa's future. we're still grappling with the deadly pandemic facing down war and instability address in economic challenges with global impact friday, friday, rising food prices, tackling the impacts of climate change. we can't solve any of these challenges without african leadership at the table, and i'm not trying to be nice. that's a fact. america is not only waking up late in the game, and joe biden is still trying to lecture the continent. he still putting human rights before development. he still seems like he is pushing and again doubt with conditionality, while china and russia really coming into the continent with assistance 1st before anything else and development is top of mindful lots of african leaders and also as

part of the confusion with regard to the summit not only that happening for the 1st time in a d is to show how important africa is, i guess, in american eyes. but it's also coming at a time when the is varying interest from african leaders to the united think they're not singing on the theme hymn book, if you will. african leaders are watching the kind of support that ukraine keeps enjoying. and they see that as, as something contrary to what they've ever enjoyed. america once it's hagaman just as the blues, just as they've lost the that, that control and that influence in latin america and middle east. they are seeing a dwindle in africa to and they wanted back and that's what this, this summit is really all about. we're witnessing the purity expand. it's footprint a on, on a continent on a daily basis. and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not already. or we see rush or continuing to peddle deep weapons,

employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries are, i think, are that bears watching. and certainly, i think their influence again, can be the stabilize. and that is the difference, right? america is moving into the continent, still same old, same old united states. let us give africa food aid. let us keep it pedant and they've found, let's make sure our influence is still pretty present on the continent while china is moving in and big infrastructure projects. the building rose the building, airports, mega railway project. and that is not what the united states is known for. here and people are wondering what this commitment actually means and some commentators the fed this is as close to the cold war rish or at least on african swale as we've ever had in recent times. twitter or media. we hope the us could view china africa

cooperation with an open mind. africa is not an arena for big power game. so let alone the target of arbitrary pressure from any country or person. washington should respect the will, the african people and take concrete actions to help africa's development. instead of concentrating its efforts on smearing and attacking of a countries by that might have missed a trick here in a sense that he should have been the one who comes to africa in africa is that important. and if america is really a part of the global voice and should be continent should be at the table, as he said, then way, if the you and security council seat. but earlier we spoke with joe ultman who's the host of the conservative daily podcast. and he thinks the u. s. is rapidly losing the confidence of african people while look at the libyan cute coo and also look what they did in sudan, look at what they did in, in other african nations, in the amount of interference and things that have done in those regions. it's like a bunch of school kids at a, at a high school. it's always like they're bad,

they're bad, they're bad, but they never look at themselves. let's go back in time and look at what the u. s . has made promises over and over and over again in that region. they've done this for decades and they've never delivered. they've said we're going to give you a, we're going to help you with, with development. and those developments in large part i spent a lot of time in africa and the middle east. those developments where china would come in and say, hey, we're going to do something. they always did it. but the us never did. i don't think that they, they learn from their mistakes and they definitely don't learn from history. and the thing, the thing that saddens me is the fact that they're, they're doing things that do not benefit the people of africa. and it's not as if we're pulling on both sides of a country and trying to, to help them and say ok, china is trying to help in the united states, trying to help. and we're competing in that arena the united states just sees them as much like to do their own people in the united states as, as slaves to be enslaved, or did to use as pawns and a game in order. great power or money to come in. in sports news, morocco funds have been wreaking havoc on the streets of europe. that's after the

country's football team. last to nil against france in the semi finals of this year's fif, woke up as after a long winning st. ah, sanctions were particularly high in harris, where funds reportedly aimed fireworks at crowds of supporters of france. rocco's former colonizer there, they were met by a force of more than 5000 police officers pre arranged anticipation of violence. police report to lay arrested. 40 people on their way to the capital's main source to refer the shaun's elisa carrying weapons, claiming that some hard ties too far, right groups. ah, the disturbances weren't soley confined to the capital authorities in montpelier in the countries mediterranean cells confirmed that a 14 year old moroccan was killed after being hit by

a driver who was apparently fleeing a crowd had been supporting the losing team. ah . meanwhile, over in belgium, brussels police use tear gas and water come in to disperse crowds of moroccan funds, many of whom had been shooting fireworks on starting fires. reports claimed that any one waving a french flight was a target to the un security council. now where u. s. politicians are attempting to divide 75 years of history by calling for russia to be expelled, fighting moscow's role in ukraine, conflicts, and acts not possible under the 1945 un charter. on the move is just one instance of a political bandwagon back on the parade this week where western politicians also wagging the finger. it's russian media and u. e. u draft blacklist reportedly includes russian figures and outlets without the among them. however, when r t sorta advice from

a global organization fast with protecting the rights of journalists, it refuse to offer support. so it does not view russian media as unbiased. the u. s . based committee to protect journalists, refusal to live up to its goals, came after a member of germany's main opposition party. proposed the timing of the screw, namely the creation of a committee to control the spread of slow cold russian media. propaganda among the issues listed as a key threats to the european community, it were so called pro russian fakes a claim which comes in recent reports that are sees a german language channel uses 3rd party outlets on youtube channels to spread, quote dis, information. earlier we talk to tv and kit and so sites are, is tahira shaheed, who says it's also the audience to decide what media source they prefer. it's against the very fundamentals of, you know, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. and the west has always propagated and stood for freedom of speech. and it always, you know, upholds this,

that everybody should be allowed to have an opinion of their own. and to also chevy opinion. it is up to the audience and of us to decide themselves what they want to choose out of it. they want the information out there to be available to the global public in a certain way that they wanted presented. and it's very unfortunate it is. it used to be said that, you know, this is the 3rd generation warfare where public opinion, both count and people are actually going to shape public opinion. but that's not true. you cannot shape public opinion by enforcing just one sort of ideas onto you . anything that goes against what they're saying becomes a threat to them so much so that even the cutter people woke up, for instance, have always had resistance. why? because it does not resonate with the, with the kind of ideas they want to put forward, or they want to show to the public and show and show the world that this is the truth. i think it's quite natural for the you to move in that direction. this is nothing really new. it's been going on for many years. all of the iranian media has

been sanctioned for many years now, whether it's individuals, whether it's state media or whether it's independent media that is supportive of iran. this has been the case for many years now. and increasingly, over the past few years, we've seen the same sort of behavior towards russia. and now of course, the right, the russians are, are like iran, they're being silenced across the board. and those that do remain online. they are being snuffled, they're being silence through algorithms. so the west while claiming to be a bastion of human rights and freedom of speech. in reality, when their power decreases in relative terms and alternative voices across the world can more easily be heard, they become more despotic. and they increasingly silence those voices that run

against. they're mainstream views in the west. and over to south america now where peruse governments has announced a national states of emergency as protests continue across the country. the 30 day measure will authorize curfews on suspend freedom of movement as well as the rights to assembly. ah, a decision comes as peru and says it's 2nd week of protests following the impeachment of former president pedro castillo. follow his arrest supports as footed the streets to money. his immediate release demonstrations have turned violence with the new president, deena bought a pharmacy to hold elections and in attempting to quell the unrest. the new government, backed by congress with just 10 percent approval rating has gone at western supports or the little from its own people. of either all my life,

those foreigners who have governed here discriminated against us. but it pains them that we are governed by a teacher, a farmer who is humble, like us violin protests have been ripping across peru after the countries democratically elected president was ousted and detained. and what many are calling a qu day top, the people are demanding. pedro castillo release, and new elections with a number of latin american countries standing with them in solidarity. our government's call on all the actors involved in the previous process to prioritize the will of the citizens that was pronounced at the polls. it is the way of interpreting the scope and meanings of the notion of democracy contained in the international american system of human rights on the other side of the barricades, washington's backing, the coo and the so called democratic institutions associated with it. we will continue to work with proves democratic institutions and we look forward to working

closely with president below r t a and all branches of the government in peru, the history of u. s. backing of peruvian, right. wingers didn't start with the recent kuth out one of bullet war taste biggest supporters as the daughter of peruse, previous right wing dictator alberto fuji maury, his administration saw the use of death squads to quell descent and the genocide against indigenous peoples carried out by means of a mass forced sterilization program. did a study get his buddies with this bill. yeah. about a different i shall feel fucking. i am looking on the so features and means to use a little on the sim, a tuna, a less company us based in session. and for some film, does he look at those immunization to single gus on of his dignity? so for most peruvians, food you mores regime is still part of living memory. it should come as no surprise that once the same peruvians who supported its crimes re emerged to support the

crew. the masses were ready to do whatever it takes to prevent a return to those dark days. united states wasted no time supporting dis cool, reminiscent of the 2019 cool against the m a. s. in bolivia. united states has a long history of supporting any qu, attempts against progressive and left when governance across the region. and the fact of the matter is the, the rich, the reactionaries, the proper, inside classes in pitt, who had no interest in seeing federal castillo. so who comes from the most depressed sectors of whose society they had no interest as he imperial class? the you in any sense of progressive ism, at the highest summits of the, the peruvian executive office, rising inflation and a crushing economy? well, all that seems to pale into insignificance compared to what lawmakers seal as america's

real problem. and that's tick tock or several have now announced bipartisan legislation to been the chinese owned social media platform dreamed it can be used to spawn us citizens. this isn't about creative videos. this is about an app that is collecting data on tens of millions of american children and adults every day. we know it's used to manipulate feeds and influence elections. we know it answers to the people's republic of china. tick tock is digital fentanyl. that's addicting . americans collecting troves of their data and censoring their news. the bipartisan anti social ccp act as a strong step in protecting our nation from the nefarious digital surveillance and influence operations of totalitarian regimes. well, it's very hilarious to listen to those words because what they're describing, how they're arguing about how chic talk seems to be operating bits pretty closely with the details that are now emerging regarding how twitter and meta facebook and

other outlets interfered in us politics take for example, the hunter, by the laptop story will recall how it's been admitted that us social media giant works to suppress it in coordination with the f b i years. what we heard from mark zuckerberg distribution on facebook was decreased, but people are still out to share it so you could still share it. you could still consume it, but we weren't sort of as black and white about it as, as twitter. we just kind of thought, hey, look if, if the f b i, which i still view is a legitimate institution in this country. it's like very professional law enforcement. they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something that i want to take that seriously. now a new poll shows that 71 percent of americans say that a truthful interpretation of 100 by the laptop story may have changed their vote and good change the outcome of the election in the united states. so the effort by

facebook and twitter to suppress that story certainly had an impact. now, it's also interesting to hear the owners of tick tock accused of new suppression. let's not forget that social media outlets a damned r t all throughout western europe. r t is being widely suppressed, it's been shut down from youtube, etc. and then you want to get into the other accusation that they make about data that. let's look into the details they've been revealed by edward snowed about how data collected by us social media outlets and tech companies get handed over the f b i. and how there is a coordination with the fbi. i in this information regarding users activities is provided to the american authorities without any warrant, no warranty or are needed. they simply go to the tech outlet and get the information. there's actually been a 260 percent increase in the providing of this data to us officials

and they've been getting it without warrants the amount of data that they've been acquiring on us individuals as increasingly gone up. this is the information it's been reveal and we also know what they tend to use this information for david's description of what you can do with metadata. and quoting a mutual friend to we're baker is absolutely correct. we kill people based on metadata, throw the hypocrisy in us, condemnation of chicks, aka allegedly suppressing news, allegedly interfering in us politics or allegedly collecting people's data for nefarious purposes. the world can hear the hypocrisy and what these us lawmakers are saying. as they found the podium against tick tock. and finally, a british special operations commando force has taken part in covert operations and ukraine amid the ongoing conflict the that's according to a former royal marines left tenant general. in january this year,

45th commando group deployed at short notice to evacuate the british embassy in kiev to poland. then in april, they returned into the country to re establish the diplomatic mission, providing protection to critical personnel. during both phases, the commandos supported other discreet operations in a hugely sensitive environment and with a high level of political and military risk. no general robert magowan didn't specify the exact nature of those operations, but he did praises forces for training, ukrainian military personnel. and that has previously confirmed that the instruction had taken place, but stressed that it wouldn't be sending troops to the region. i'm not putting british troops directly to fight russian troops that would trigger a european war because we are a nato country. and russia would therefore be attacking nato. comes amid reports of us plans to send a small number keeps to ukraine, to track weapons shipments to key if there are already dozens of us personnel on

similar missions to this one in the country with us for the british troops. political commentator anthony webber says there should be more transparency on their activities. a operations which are potentially politically a military sensitive a doesn't necessarily mean that they go directly involved in actual military action. but it is a concern, a new because normally by convention and the purchase parliament, if you have but she's forces involved in the account for a way, for risk of conflict. then you may have to be a debate in parliament. nobody wants things to get out of control. and if she forces have been involved in anything,

whether it's in april or sabotage or the form of military conflicts, that would be pretty unacceptable. because that would put the united kingdom in a position where a 2 percent south of wall without the consent to the british people. that's all for now. do you be sure to check out our c dot com all websites for the late breaking news and updates? we'll see you right back at the top of the hour. thanks for watching with ah

ah ah ah, in the summer of 2022, italy,

along with all other nato member states effectively sided with ukraine in the armed conflict with russia. rome in coordination with the u. s. approved a military assistance package for keith to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back. looking glad, i'm not jealous, father of lilyanne will spend this plan. you'll need unusual suicide on the same nato and the u. f with you on the ones that people will die just for make money. there are those who opposed the decision at various levels of government. i was one of these, the members of the parliament that to show day. yes, the panels, italians also protested in the streets with but across the ocean in the united states, their voices im not heard. italy holds the record for the number of u. s. a. nato military sites.
