it was not a direct hit, but the work of ukrainian air defense systems for you, but he was below no pull up against the missile was shut down, but it fell on the building. it exploded when it fell down. authorities in ukraine were equipped to disagree with the speaker that you just heard, and the mayor of never petrov kaz already called for a restore bridge to be investigated by the country's security services. meanwhile, russian military officials have a stated time and again that says civilians are never the targets of russian a strikes. also, they have stated numerous times that ukrainian air defense. it has been very ineffective given examples how their missile defense rockets have already ended up in civilians, homes up, well not only in ukraine, but even in the neighboring countries when one of the ukrainian rockets killed 2 farmers in poland. now also earlier on sunday,
8:07 am
russian defense ministry said that ukraine security services are sitting up explosives in a grain storage facility in hark of region. now, at this provocation, as they called it was their plans in order to accuse russia of failing the so called grain deal according to defense, ben is free. the provocation is meant to increase pressure on public opinion in western countries in order to achieve new large scale arm supplies, the ukraine. this would not have been the 1st time ukraine would states such provocations in order to find support in the west last year. a world headlines were full of stories about and youth from boucher ukrainian city. the russian forces returned to keeps control due to successful negotiations that took place at the time of western media were presented with corpses of civilians on the streets of the city. and that's just 3 days after the russian army left,
8:08 am
the linkage between the dead and the russian military was established immediately without any fact base data to back it up for export. russia has vehemently deny delegation. so in general, the latest ukrainian provocation falls in i, with the key is attempts to boost military support from the was due to its own failures on the battle ground. and now to the dumbass front lines where russian forces achieved a breakthrough this week, the private military company, wagner, of the strategic town of solid are under its control. now this exclusive footage shows the wagner groups head and members inspecting an underground mind that was previously used by cubes, troops to stole weapons. the companies had said that remaining ukrainian troops who were surrounded and refused to surrender, were killed in battle. guinea pig origin, also symbolic, he brought salt to the mind in an attempt a sense of swipe at western media, which claimed he has business interests in the city away so that there would be no
8:09 am
rumor spread in the yes that we are fighting for sought. i have some ukrainian salt with me, leave it to solid. our after we go through it. solider is a strategically important location, gaining control over its paved the way for russian forces to put pressure on ukrainian forces in the major city of our char mosque, which is also known as backwards. a vital transportation helped with a network of roads and railways used to supply routes. the head of the nurse republic said that after saddam rushes military might be able to move forward towards cbs and other key town. the towns of common source and finance would then be the key targets for the russian army. now key if there's a fighting for the tone of $4.00 still ongoing, the mid reports the both sides have suffered losses in the battle for the town. meanwhile, desperate relatives of ukrainian fighters who are set to be missing or in captivity have taken to the streets of yes and what local media labeled march of widows, women were seen holding photos of their husbands calling on the government to bring them home. the protest follow multiple eye witness accounts,
8:10 am
suggesting the key of his reluctance to retrieve some of its wounded on slain service. men from the battlefield. now he has the biggest military back in the united states, downplayed the significance of the latest developments on the front line, according to one pence, again spokesperson, you couldn't army, the latest defeats would not have any impact on the conflicts. let's take a listen. we don't know how it's going to go, so i'm not gonna predict failure or success here. but even if they're both back mood and sell it are fall to the russians. it's not going to make a, i'm not going to have a strategic impact on the war itself, and it certainly isn't gonna stop ukrainians or, or slow them down in terms of their and their efforts to regain their territory. put this way of sold are, hadn't fallen in the ukrainian defenses that they have been building for over 8 years from 2014 to 2022 would still be intact. and that would complicate
8:11 am
extraordinarily, any russian offensive that has been planned. when the remaining 82550000 of mobilized troops finally appear on the battlefield. it was to follow solid r o. the russians have put at risk of the ukrainian positions in bar moot. the fact is that the defense of this area is going to become untenable and or rather than risk, an even larger cauldron. the ukraine's will have no choice but to withdraw and seek, create a new defensive bill. further to the west, the capture of sola dar, the eventual capture of bach mood. the piercing of the ukrainian defences is an essential precondition for any follow on russian offensive operation. so this is a, this is a battle of tremendous significance and tremendous consequence for both sides.
8:12 am
ukraine's leadership is nothing but gangsters. that's the claim made by an american mercenary, o volunteer fighting for ukraine santa. this was the real reasons for kids withdrawal from the town of philadelphia. my unit of esther. so personnel are ill equipped. we have no heavy weapons. we have no unit training. we have nothing. our major general knows this and is not helping to fix it. between him and captain baroda, there needs to be a change in leadership. they are nothing but corrupt gangsters. we didn't just leave solid. are we fought yard by yard for it? for those saying otherwise you are wrong. as a 2nd, know, there are ukrainian officers who are not doing their jobs. they need to be relieved of their positions immediately. their actions have caused negligent deaths among other things. western volunteer fights his are participating in the ukraine conflicts. russian forces captured 3 british competence who are later released as
8:13 am
part of a prisoner swap. this comes after russian troops took the strategic town of salvatore in the dumbass. let's cross live now to independent journalist mike jones m mike. a good to have you with us. this afternoon, i just want to 1st of all, get your thoughts on this taking of solid dar after months of intense fight thing with both sides, reportedly suffering losses. how significance is this taken of the town? it must be shut. the key of does say that's buffalo on going for that town. a yes, i'm aware that key have contests the complete capture of solid. i believe that the, the facts on the grounds do not match the western narrative that has been published to date. and that is that these cities both moved to our, to most and solid dod inconsequential. they're not strategic. they're a blunder by russia because we have seen vast commitments of trips and re deployments from ukraine to protect the cities. the,
8:14 am
as scott ritter has pointed out, have received 8 years of investment and fortification. i don't believe that you do such things for inconsequential cities that are not strategic. as again, scott richards said these cities formed the front line. so with ukraine pouring all these resources in. and then the recent news, particularly from british prime, it's the richie soon active sending. now modern military tanks the challenges i see this reaction from the west as quite possibly in my opinion, linked to these losses that ukraine is facing. so the facts do not reflect the narrative that i'm seeing in the western media. can we expect further russian advances to our child moscow backwards? i absolutely believe so. i believe this is why solid door is so key in the operational encirclement of box moot. so most, so i believe that once this solid die is completely captured,
8:15 am
this could represent the rolling up with the front line, which is what i fear, which is why i believe the west fears is this, then house of cards collapsing around the kiev raising. now you touched on this and your previous answer, mike. the u. k has confirmed it's going to send 12 challenges to tongues certainly a monster of a vehicle, but it is only 12 of them. so what do you think that this is a symbolic gesture, or will it actually make a difference on the ground? general lord daggett himself said that this was insufficient. he was pushing for 50 challenge at 2 tanks. let's also remember that poland is now promising to send leopard to tanks and urging other countries to do so. so clearly these 12 challenges nothing more than symbolic in the mirror today i received tonight is allegedly promising apache helicopters as though we don't know how that will work given that us would be required to release them and how many are operational. so no,
8:16 am
i don't believe they are going to be game changing vehicles is we're from, it's the high mas would be on this. so i believe it's hollow, symbolic gestures in that regard. and again, i'll refer to general law doggett who claims that they the challenge it to is effective would change the course of the battle due to the fact it can defeat the t 70 tank. but he failed to mention anything about the t 90 m breakthrough tank. the russian troops is supplied with so i believe is aging battle tank will have its own challenges if ever makes it to the front line. that's the question. touched on by the missionary in his tweets when we hear about this corruption and weapons just simply disappearing from the ukrainian armory. my joe, my jones. excuse me, jenny, thanks very much for your thoughts on the developments on the phone lines and thanks for your time today. thank you. oh, no, the news. a state of emergency has been declared in several regions of peru
8:17 am
beginning on july the 15th for 30 days, amid mass protests across the country as proves incumbent president dina policy has i, my commitment is with payroll women, yet i was 17 people were reportedly killed and hundreds more injured, including at least 23 police officers versus locals. attempted to take over an airport in southern perry on tuesday. at least 43 people have been killed in reported confrontations between police and civilians. and most, many activists are calling a massacre. the protesters are calling for the resignation of ensuring president dina bolo. arty with demonstrates, is claiming their being discriminated against by the new government who is going to defend us, who is going to after this children were traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless, motherless orphans a failure to pull it here. i'm a found, it's not on the you could okay. the police officers were shooting at us. i think there are 501 debt. we're calling president of through d and
8:18 am
a blue arctic to resign because you are not euro. many people are dying because of you, you boss, except that the people don't want to you. ah, ah, with kennedy. i mean with that the month are quite here. the one, the not to be out of the government, the one to the end. and they also believe the congress,
8:19 am
along with the executive power level, the killing people who are actually exercising their right to protest. not just the lima, every way dues us as a pledge to support president, follow our say despite escalating unthinkable, protested money her resignation since december last year. impeach president petrocca theo earlier claim the u. s. involvement is behind the violence oppression of protesters me while former bolivian presidents evo morales, has expressed support for the peruvian, demonstrated in response followers his government banned him from entering the country. we spoke to peruvian activists, katia kerio, who says that the states auctions against the protesters under moralists are acts of racism. there is evidently the relation between in the border through which we were speaking about the same indigenous
8:20 am
people. so that evidence they will be on you know, some yes, actions that will be supported it strongly and there was no proof however of the the government is saying, well, what i think is the evidence me, racist attack is not only against ever, but obviously again the people, as i mentioned, it's mostly indigenous i, mara, that don't have crap. now have experienced the latest scaling and the big action bonding able from entering the country. it's just, it's a joke to me, but it is a statement from his statement from the government to creep in the life
8:21 am
basically invention of peoples and to blame everywhere. alas and believe you and the less when movement in latin america, for whatever is going on in the country even for their own killing. so they're trying to make us responsible for it, because there are people who speak against the government as responsible for the killing b r. committing 57 years after at least half a 1000000 indonesians were killed in anti communist massacres, declassified documents show how the u. s. anew k, stored by the mass murders stood byers, the mass mit is on the folded, and then supports the forces carrying out the slaughter ortiz. rachel blevins picks up the story. nearly 60 years after, at least half a 1000000 indonesians were killed by their nation's military. and
8:22 am
a western back anti communist, pert, that was called one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century by the cia indonesia. current president is now expressing regret, but stopped short of calling for accountability with a clear mind and earnest heart. i, as in donasia, is head of state admit that gross human rights violations did happen in many occurrences. and i deeply regret these human rights abuses. the purge began in october of 1965 at the height of the cold war. the anti communist campaign in the west had love you asked to put boots on the ground and vietnam, but they had their eyes on the communist party of indonesia. what is the largest in the world news with
8:23 am
declassified documents from the u. s. and the u. k. have since shown the great length they went to in order to so fear and discord in the country falling and attempted coup, which they blinked on communist supporters. british officials encouraged the unprecedented crapped out with documents from the u. k. foreign office giving insight into the block propaganda campaign launched by london calling for all communist organizations to be eliminated. and it wasn't just the u. s. and the u. k . throwing their support behind targeting. what british officials referred to as communist cancer, the government in west germany was also well aware of the atrocities that were being carried out by the indonesian military as documents from the federal republic show political, military,
8:24 am
and even financial support. but while the size of indonesia, the communist party was 3rd to those in china and the soviet union at the time, it became the target of a brutal massacre. after it was blamed for an attempted overthrow of then presidency car, no move. western officials admitted was seen as the perfect way to influence public opinion. however, documents from the state department show that officials in washington encouraged the killings as a way to deal with overcrowded prisons. and in some cases, they even bragged about handing over a list of suspects to the indonesian military to target directly. they probably killed a lot of people and i probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that's not all bad. no one cared so long as they were communists that were being butchered. no one was getting very worked up about it. there appears to be no way for the u. s. government to deny its knowledge of just how brutal the massacre was as a document showing washington's encouragement of the crackdown are coupled with
8:25 am
cables showing that the u. s. embassy in jakarta was sending regular updates to the state department documenting the mass murder of dozens of prisoners out of time. the army is quietly releasing $10.00 to $15.00 prisoners nightly to muslims for execution. the army then returned in mid march and executed between $40.50 local rodie communists, plus another 30 communists from the nearby island of sy, between $800.00 to $1000.00 alleged communists were executed by the army in east news. attend gara. in the decades of the massacre of 965, the indonesians who lost family members and saw their communities forever changed by the killings. have called for accountability for those responsible not just in their own country, but also in the west. but despite the tro, declassified documents from the u. s. the u. k. in germany, that show that they not only had knowledge of the massacre as it was happening, but were also complicit and lending their support. there has been nothing but
8:26 am
silence and response. and finally, russia blamed armenia for the breakdown of peace talks with us by john over the dispute region of now gordon, a kind of bach artsy correspondence in the course of a pixel the story. well, armenia basically wants russia to do more about it's along this piece of enclaves of and i've gotten the car box. and this all basically starts is when the armenian prime minister said that the behavior of russian peacekeepers there is unacceptable . and that they're basically standing by silently watching the humanitarian crisis unfold. let me give you some background on this so that of us can get a better understanding of the situation. basically, russia deploy the peacekeepers to go and i've got a box during a ceasefire. deal a brokerage between armenia and i sent by john n 2020, and him to seek the 6 week war that the 2 countries had. and then
8:27 am
a couple of weeks ago, armenia, excuse us, by john, off create and actually mandatory in prices there. by blocking the only landline connecting look at our boss to armenia, and supposedly this creates it sort of food and medicine for it's part of john said that this was not a government lead located in fact denied claims of any blockade for that matter. and it said that this was simply as or by johnny civilian protest, and what they thought were lawful armenian mining projects there. so there was this plan, so and armenia wanted russia to act and to do more. and it said the prime minister armine, as prime minister said, asked raja, how applied to all of the lacking core door and saying that moscow had vowed and from extra ensure the safety and security, all the citizens in golden by the majority of whom are ethnically armenian, and moscow for it's part for back said, well, armenia is the one who bailed on talks that was scheduled in december. yes.
8:28 am
unfortunately there's one of obscurity, not in our position, but particularly in that of their me inside and their approaches. perhaps when there was some clarification on this matters, then more will become clear to everyone and you and i will have more of to answer practical questions. yes. and not focus too much on principle positions. moscow won't see it of an to return to the negotiating table, but it seems that the armenian prime minister isn't interested in talking right now . that's what it seems like. and is now calling for multinational peace, forced to come in. and he things statements like russia's military presence in armenia, not only fails to guarantee its security, but raises concerns and our security threats for armenia. and that the same time armenia announced that it will not be hosting military drill is why the russian lead alliance of post soviet states, the collective security treats organisation. and it said that the exercises right
8:29 am
now to hold the c s c o exercises on armenian territory. would be close on the reasonable. so this is of course, very strange statements make for an ally. and no doubt, officials in moscow will be wanting a clarification on these statements. but those, the new stories, the shape, the week here on our tea for more and have them to check out our website as well as our social media channels. my name is peter scott. let me back with another look at the top of the, our thanks for watching. ah, it's amazing to see people share, right? because as we talk about b as strong, you know what i mean? everybody wants to be strong, man, but you know, we might be physically strong, but you know, are we emotionally weak? my son got incarcerated here. and i learned, well, my biggest fear was and it goes back into a d. had on the board about memory. my, my says great friends is charles policy and he said,
8:30 am
your son used to say he will she come the prison just i can be with you in that moment i said, this is what you've left your child and this woman and your family to, to do they fate you say if you're thinking you is dead, you never too old to find that peace, which of children which yourself. mm hm. this prison is me into more like always call a blank canvas and a beautiful landscape. or i think that there are a lot of.
