a, a with the headline off international as the head of the wagner group says his fight has have taken control of the village up cross my i gotta, it's a key point of defense. there are 2 offices, also known as an unidentified flying objects to over the canada. it shot down by the u. s. f. as in mid tension simmering between washington and china over the ledge weather balloon crossing us border of a $26000.00 a catastrophic growth rate. both totally and syria. the death toll continues to rise as both the country struggled to cope with. one of the biggest doors of the

week, a bomb shell report by an american award winning journalist on covering u. s. involvement in the sabotaged oh, but no extreme gas pipelines, using nato drills in the baltic. cup with timing is perfect for the sunday weekly program here. what are you to national life for boston running down the top headlines of the week ad biz hours main store. so the head of the wagner group has said that is, fight has, have now taken control of the village of kraft. my, i gotta, it's a key settlement north of being battled. our offices also known as back vote. the development does add pressure on ukrainian forces in the town and essentially opens up the way for further advances in the twin head region. a very short time ago, i got the letters from eco to staff. according to the chieftain of the russian

private military company, the wagner group, if danny pre goshen, his fighters have basically taken the control taken over, they have captured the village of cross ne, got out to the north of germ of scott is a very small settlement. it can be very hard to pinpoint on the map, but it is very important. well, it tactically and strategically so far, we don't have much of a confirmation other than a video published by the media service, by the press service of the wagner group, where a bunch over a wagner, soldiers are standing next to a road sign that would normally be placed at the entrance into basically on the road heading into the settlement. so this is so far everything that we have. but normally the, this information that comes from gainey propulsion directly, it can be treated as a reliable because he himself has repeatedly corrected officials in the past who jumped the gun so to speak. and were too early to announce the successes of the

wagner group. although it has to be said that neither the russian nor the ukrainian military officials have neither confirmed nor denied this or in formation. now, when it comes to class ny itself, again, it is quite important. however small it might be, it is located to the north of the town of our chalmers, and essentially by capturing it at the wagner forces, well, as they come closer to cutting off the supply routes that are used by the ukranian commands to delivery enforcements into the city of our tom of which is a major hot spot in the don bath right now. basically the wagner's forces. they are fighting inside the city since last summer, and they have managed to make gains inside the town, but well, the ukrainian command, they have been sending reinforcements regularly and in a many have described this tactics as well, the tactics of cannon fodder. basically they send more and more people to die in

back mode, basically, to stop the advancement of the wagner forces. with the more people with more people to just burn and shoot through. so right now, many military experts, they say that the tactics that the wagner group has adopted or when it comes to taking the town of october. because basically, to cut off the supply routes that the main roads leading to this town and out of 4 roads that were previously available for the ukrainian command. only one remains more or less safe to send ammunition to send to more guns, to send more military vehicles to send more people, more fighters into the city of our charm of. and right now the since the casner garage village has full and it brings a close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous for her, we're not looking at war. the world's hero naughty international, an unidentified flying object which was shot down over northern canada was on

mand that's according to the latest statement. from the canadian prime minister. i ordered to take down of an, an identified object that violated canadian airspace, nor at command shot down the object over the yukon canadian and us aircraft were scrambled and the u. s. f 20 to successfully fired at the object. now the move comes off of a u. s. military shot down a similar object over alaska on friday. then late his body that his body after say, was tracked by the u. s. north american aerospace command while flying over the canadian yukon. later on, saturday, prime minister trudeau along with president biden authorized us fight to engage with it. so officials have not yet revealed any details on the origin of this mysterious aerial device. now this comes to me at washington's accusations of espionage after an alleged chinese weather balloon croft into us territory last week and was taken down by the country's military. a u. s. fighter jet shot down

the balloon despite chinese assurances they didn't pose any threat. as we understand, a similar object has been detected over the latin american continent as well. us officials reported the confirm the object was part of a surveillance program after examining its remnants beijing meantime to label the accusations as quote, information warfare. what we heard from a former pentagon, an official of michael maloof, now he's that officials need to provide answers on the spike in incidence of objects flying the skies over us as space in recent weeks. it's an increasing problem that we're beginning to, to see more and more of all of a sudden having numerous objects flying in particularly over the, the north pole area. and it's happening very, very rapidly. and they're in, in,

in greater succession. and we'll just see where it's going, but that's, that's one of the major questions right now is, what, what is this all about? this appears to be all very purposeful. we don't know for sure if it's from a country or, or a group, a university commercial, no idea. i trust that both in states and canada will be forthcoming with the results of what they learn. i think the, the by the administration learned a very bitter lesson last week. of course, one of the biggest stories of the week if not the biggest and syria continuing to struggle with the aftermath of devastating earthquakes that had both countries. on monday, we understand now with the updates on the number, the deaths, all exceeding 26000 o

rogers space corporation. ross cosmos has been monitoring the after effects of stemming from the quakes on the right. you can see the current tectonic fulton comparison to the same region and se 30 a from 2021. experts estimate the rift is 200 meters in width and around 30 meters in depth. now, it has been 6 days since the deadly earthquakes. however, rescue was still hoping to find any sign of like, of course, sometimes miracles do happen. that's what it's showing. emergency workers celebrating off to finding a man alive despite being trapped under the rebel foot days. and as people wait for any news on their loved ones, artes peter scott, now reports from the ground on how the country is cooking. what you can see behind me is

a residential building that was once 8 stories high and is now been reduced to rubble . as you can see here, there are people that once lived in that building and then now waiting for news of their relatives who in many cases are still stuck under the rubble. i want to wait here because my son, his wife and guests, and 6 of my relatives way in the building when the earthquakes drive. my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. he says he may have got off relatively lightly, but that's of little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who are trapped, all those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere, while governments engineers go through the daunting process of ensuring the thousands of homes here are safe to live in once again from the outskirts of the city of id i'm on. it was instantly clear that it's been much more bodily affected the back here, which was around 3 hours drive away. no one were coming in, there was a stream of ambulances, emergency service vehicles coming and going. there was shrubs carrying

a heavy excavate, says to help with the efforts here. and there also funds puts with humanitarian aid unbalances heading in to do what they could do. the sights of bereaved families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of at a young man. the temperature still drop well below 0 at night. and that provides their own sets of challenges to those who don't have a home. many of the people we spoke to here said that help was slow to arrive in the days after the earthquakes hit. the key is presidents. edward himself admitted that it had been shortcomings, but the relief effort now appears to be gathering pace. as soon as the earthquake struck, thousands of volunteers flocked to the impulse. nissan bull, to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area. although the him, he stumbled i'm a lawyer originally from madonna, but now i live in his temple. i came here to rescue people from the class buildings . almost any of us could have found ourselves inside one of these buildings as a long road ahead for the city and others like it. and it's hard to imagine when

his residence will be able to return efforts are now been directed to prevent a 2nd humanitarian disaster. in showing that those who survived the earthquakes don't die from cold and hunger. this is one of the latest temporary comes to be setup india back here, containing some of the 623 tents dotted around the city. there are no showers, and only the public toilet facilities in the park itself. close quarters in camps a breeding grounds for disease. the people of turkey and syria can only hope that lessons from this tragedy will be learned. while meantime, a neighboring syria, already suffering from over a decade of war against a weston backed insurgency. cities have also been devastated by the quakes. other nations or health ministry reporting more than 1400 deaths, more than 2000 injuries, mostly in the countries north western regions. the city of aleppo, for example, very close the turkish border. one of the most affected areas, a residence were forced to flee their homes and gather at shelters. and those seeking refuge shared some of their stories. armadillos him hovels,

deadly at 4 am we were sleeping in the house when we felt a slight shake, which soon turned into an earthquake. me, i woke up my children and went out to the street on the situation then became unbearable of the women and children started to cry and scream all the i'll even the palestinian refugee camp to inhabited houses opposite us collapsed as they had by the handle have been living in our ben village for 30 years. we were sleeping when they asked they had the regency, they quickly got dressed and laughed. were man tall, our neighbors to where we stayed for 2 days. after that, we came to, i'll boston stadium anathema, bessy little hovels, live. i've been displaced before and i am displeased again because of the natural disaster. thank god, i am safe and may god have mercy on the deceased. we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance. however, years long western sanctions, particularly those of america, have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria since the disaster. look at

this rate, our tracking mach right here. major airline has with humanitarian aid, have been clearly avoiding syrian territory. now as our syria struggles to receive humanitarian aid, washington has been saying that at the end of the day, syria only has itself and russia to blame reality has been up until now at least that one country primarily has stood in the way of that. the russians have consistently threatened or use their veto when it comes to expanding border crossings. we're going to continue to make the case. countries around the world are going to continue to make the case. and we certainly hope that russia and all those who would stand in the way, our hearing and see be just heartbreaking images. strange come and frankly, from ned price, despite moscow providing aid to both her here and syria, immediately in the aftermath, russian services have been helping to clear the rebel russian fire fighting across

the extinguishing fires that erupt it in those regions off the disaster. russian rescue teams are also very quick to distribute medical supplies and other humanitarian aid to the affected areas of syria as well. but the country's president assad actually taking a moment to thank moscow for its health is the friendly country. and we weren't surprised to see all the kind of support during this crisis course has been fighting terrorism in syria for the last 80 years now. and so when you support countries supported the country or people who support them in every aspect of the problem or anything, the best do i think we think what you've done here is a great work because it the 1st time to touch it is that during the last 250 years . so we didn't have any citizen that the god your,

your team were very great in helping our team and having many, many while it took until friday, the 5th day after bes historic earthquakes for washington to announce plans to ease sanctions on syria. amid mounting pressure from states like china and monitor in organizations such as the syrian arab red crescent, but as we said, the us state department spokesman net price said just days ago in the week of the earthquake, syria only has itself to blame. well, his local reporter mohammed, oddly describing how western sanctions continue to heard every day, syrians, less than confess, continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now, but even during the years of for prevent the syrians from getting there. basically, for example, if, if the syrian government wanted to get some medicine and medical supplies for the country, the central banks of syria will not be able to make any transaction as

a result of science. and this is just one example of what those thanks and have been doing an effect, how they have been affecting the life of the syrian people to us. and western countries in general. do not care about history and peoples about the lives of the syrians. how can you, how can any syrian civilian or individual here believe that the u. s. care is about 3 and people while the us itself and the us listen killed, hundreds of syrians doing the crisis in airstrikes on syria. the story houses the u . s. looting of resources, the u. s. dividing the country by occupying parts in the north and the north east and getting that oil, some of that oil to the so called through has been a product courses. former us president donal from said he said receiving the oil, we're not allowing the government to get that oil. so those statements and those act why they not, it is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation and fight, sir. yes,

all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the conferences to stay divided the end of the day. they don't care, they do what they want to do. and even if it's at the expense of syrians live, so it is a really big one. this week, the media landscape was shaken by revelations that nato states lead by us specialists were allegedly behind the destruction of the russian nor stream to gas pipelines. according to the investigation, washington had been planning the sabotage. get this since 2021. why does this isn't to sabotage the pipelines came after more than 9 months of highly secret back and forth debate inside washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal? well, the veteran journalist us, i see more show, reveal the top us officials were divided on their plans. the u. s. f also proposing, well, an aerial attack with bombs,

naval forces were actually pushing for what they were calling some sort of a submarine attack. now the ideas were turned down in favor of a secret service plan involving a covert operation. a u. s. officials themselves had previously made no secret of their intentions. don't listen to me ever listen to this. if russia invades, then there will be, there will be no longer a north stream to we will bring it into. i am. i think the administration is very gratified to know that north stream too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. these pipelines that is more streamlined from 2 we're not pumping gas into europe. that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. site has used unnamed sources to reveal, draw cities that they have to deny this, and they have to try and smear isiah sh. because what he is saying in effect is

that the biden administration is responsible for perhaps one of the worst environmental and geopolitical terror atrocities in history. the effect of the north stream pipeline attack on prices of energy in european countries is incalculable. or perhaps finally, people will start to realize how many people were in effect killed because of and of course irish names them, victoria newland, tony blinking jake sullivan. the players as he calls it on. as a substract, the norwegian prime minister join a store who served on the instruction book. now i had of nature. the panamanian president florentine, of course, is a who hosted the training deep sea diving training for this terror atrocity. we don't know how many hundreds of thousands of people, joe biden had, jake sullivan, antony blinking, and victoria newland have an effect murdered details. aeronautics operation began

during nato's annual navy drills in the baltic. very close to those pipelines. the timing was designed to mask american and norwegian divers from russian surveillance . if stop with her that actually planting camouflaged c, 4 explosives, a couple of tracks, washington officials decided to delay the motion for 3 months after the drills ended with the u. s. also, well, should we say meddling in investigators who were trying to look into the attack. so calder independent investigative commission, apparently helped cover the trucks of their closest allies or norway and america. that's according to see more house report. the u. s. informing its allies about possible unusual activity in the baltic sea in june, sweden, germany and denmark formed a group to look for clues, but failed to find any evidence for the very same time blocking russia for investigating the sabotage of its own pipelines. well, that's our european countries suffer. the consequences of having cut off russian

gas us immediately denied the american journalists revelations. labeling them is complete. nonsense. have you or anybody else at the state or a man of any communication with german, norwegian ambassador, or other wise repairs on this matter? on the matter of north between 2 on the matter of the latest allegations it would, it would not be typical for us to engage allies in partners on something that is utter and complete nonsense. and that should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through us. through an objective lens. legal and media analyst lie and all over to him. now he questions why the west of media was suspiciously silent when this investigation came out. the bomb shell report doesn't surprise anyone, because immediately after this happened, a lot of people said, wait a minute. this looks fishy bowlens. let's look at it this way. irrespective of,

of the, your perspective or anybody's perspective. there are 2 different camps here. one, there's the official government reaction, which i think we can understand. i think you'll be a lot better to say, we'll look into this. thank you very much. as opposed to this is ridiculous, but i understand it. but the 2nd reaction, which is the most fascinating, are the collective reactions of the media are saying, this is the media now. how dare he uses? i'm name a reporter or on unnamed sources. let me ask you a question. who in their right mind, whatever say yes, my name is so and so i work here today and also isn't it fascinating that depending upon who you are, an unnamed source is either a whistleblower. if you were to be commended or an unnamed source, a coward hiding hiding somewhere in the darkness. what i hope i hope happens is

that this continues that independent journalist, citizens civilian alternative, foreign journalists, hold everybody accountable and pursue this. don't abandon sy hersh don't turn around and say, well maybe, maybe he's, maybe he's over the hill after all he's using. he's using, you know, unnamed sources. deep throat during watergate, the hero, deep throat was an anoint named source. there whistleblowers daniel ellsberg was it . so it's, i mean it's incredible if you like, the result that you love the journalistic practice. if you don't like it, then the people who say this are crackpot lunatics and psychotic conspiracy theorists. shifting gears to africa now where russia's top diplomat has been visiting the entire continent. now, although off for the past couple of weeks later, stops molly mauritania, sudan,

at the end of the day, strengthening moscow's ties. the countries of the continent was at the top of the agenda. let's have a look now at some of the highlights from the to, ah, a put russian sudan consistently come out in the you and in supportive initiatives aimed at ensuring a democratic world order based on the principles of multi polarity which are enshrined in the un charter in addition to political dialogue, in addition to foreign economic coordination, there are many tasks in the field of trade, economic investment, and humanitarian cooperation. we came out and support the efforts being made by the sudanese leadership to stabilize the internal political situation. said

a lover of is arguably the most visible foreign diplomat on the african continent for the 2nd time in just 10 days. he was back in africa for another month. he nation tore this time, visiting molly mauritania and so dead lover of recently made headlines when his south african counterpart. lady panel greeted him with open arms in pretoria, while there was little media hype about love. rob's visit to the kingdom of f. latina, the continent only monarchy there too. he was met with hugs and smiles and allegedly asked by the country, senior leadership to stay longer as this and the chinese foreign affairs ministers, multi country tor, were taking place. the west was busy trying to counter the messages from beijing and moscow just days after the new chinese foreign policy chief made his 1st stop on the african continent,

lending in addis ababa to meet with the african union chair as well as the ethiopian prime minister. the german and the french foreign affairs ministers also is it said the country claiming they were there to help with the peace and reconciliation process. following into years civil war in ethiopia, there is a growing competition with china, russia, but also other plays such as brazil or turkey. and this is why west is now that kind of work. but it's a competition between the west europeans and the americans and russia. china, brazil, turkey. oh, she take that? sure enough here. big political, oh economy. it's been felt for years, of course. but the ukraine conflict seems to have solidified the sense of us versus them. following years of neglect and half hearted commitments to the continent,

the west has woken up to the call reality of strong ties. china and russia have been building on the african continent. when the us treasury secretary janet, the ellen visited synagogue and zambia. she took shots at american strategic folks, claiming that both russia and china bear the partial responsibility for the economic woes of the continent, which is war in weapon, new zation of food, his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man, president who is creating an unnecessary drag on african economy. but the west is also its own with enemy in its bed to win over the african continent. as officials continue their diplomatic blitz of various countries here, they also issue attending, contradictory, and times derogatory messages,

a point a best exhibited by the use foreign affairs chief. yes you do. and the rest of the world must have the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should take care of it. however, russia has proven itself is 30 ally to the african jungle. having supported many a liberation movement as all across the vast continent, countries, but to free themselves from western columbia. and the visit to more retainer was just another display of the longstanding bilateral relations, which started back in 1964 lover of his visit to mildly surprised only a few the military you into we seize power following a cool 2 years ago. hes,

from the very get go, leaned towards russia as a security partner, rather than to us the former colonizer france. in fact, fresh troops have been expelled from that country. with further accusations that france not only failed to quell the insurgency in this a hell, but actually supplied us to some of the rebel and extremist groups. the stabilizing mal lovegrove stopped by to then a conflict written country in the east of the continent, which has been striving for stability, a mis political wrangling, and a fight on terror. cartoon and moscow have already agreed to start discussions on setting up a logistic center or a naval base on the red sea, which will no doubt further put a variety in washington as well as brussels. for a long time, the west bridge had a quality monopoly in many parcel machine west against sal,

and indeed ingenuity. over the years there's been a growing presence of china or russia, it's moving economy. and what the west is worried about is losing their share. and the economy sector, i may say a political influence that worried and concerned with having less political influence on the country. so we can see, despite the west push for african countries to distance themselves from russia, say gay, lovegrove continues to be met with wide open arms and love. maybe because in the minds of many africans presented, he will always trump colonialism. got him on his shots of a lot of t enjoy and is back despite well the western media was saying laugh was really warmly welcomed.
