and as a villain, but that is definitely not the case. and do you know that he understand what is good for damnation? which is good for you with ah, the headlines on our international, the head of the wagner group says his fighters have taken control of the village up cross. my god. that is a key defense point near out of trauma, also known as bach moved over $26000.00 to confirm dead off a catastrophic earthquake hit both turkey and syria. as the death toll continues to rise, both countries are struggling to cope. at a bomb shell report by an award winning american journalist uncovered american involvement in sabotaging the nor stream gas pipelines. so using nato drills in the baltic sea to cut with their traps

with stories of the week. and this i was the latest headlines. that's your news here when anti international and the head of the wagner group has said that it's fighters have now taken control of the village of class, and i go to it is a strategically important settlement, north of a lot of trouble offs, also known as the buck mood now the development essentially increases pressure on ukrainian forces in what is a key city, a vital transportation hub for keys forces, but it does also potentially pave the way for further advances west northwest. now that could lead to russian forces, essentially taking full control of that on yet square public. as our correspondent now reports from don bass, 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 crossing. i got out to the north of our charm of skit is a very small settlement. it can be very hard to pinpoint on the map, but it is very important. well, at 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's 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 give 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 christina guy itself, again, it is quite important. however small it might be, it is located to the north of the town of thomas and essentially by capturing it at the wagner force as well as they come closer to cutting off the supply routes that are used by the ukranian commands to deliver reinforcements into the city of a charm of sc, 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 more 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 our tom, of his 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 our close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous turkey i and syria continue to struggle with the devastating off the market for earthquakes, which had both countries. on monday, we understand now the death toll is exceeding $26000.00

ah, with they have torn my hotel out, were completely broken. no, for the new modem. ah . does it up? is it one with

me? a ms. ross was lou families under there. my sons, my daughter, my son in law, they're still under the rubble. we hear their voices, they're still alive. there's no way to get them out. there's no machinery, there's no error with my grandson is 18 months, so please help them please. we can hear them have not got any news from them since the morning, please. there were the 12 full. we can't reach my family,

my grandson. ah, it's been 6 days since the deadly earthquakes, when rescuers are continuing their search for survivors. sometimes though miracles do happen, this footage showing elated. emergency work is after finding a man alive, despite being trapped under the rubble for days. and while many others wait for just any news on their loved ones, ortiz peter scott now reports from the ground on how the country is struggling to cope. 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 our building and they're 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 swain the building when the earthquake struck my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. he says he may have got off relatively lightly, but i said little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who were trapped or those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government 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 and it was instantly clear that it's been much more badly affected the back here, which was around 3 hours drive away. now when we were coming in, there was a stream of ambulances, emergency service vehicles coming and going there were chops carrying 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 breed families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of

a yeoman. the temperatures still talk well the low 0 at night, and that provides their own set 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 turkey. his presidents had one himself admitted that there 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 airport in the stumble, to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area of the him. he stumbled . i'm a lawyer originally from a donna, but now i live in his temples. i came here to rescue people from the class buildings, unless 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 it's residence will be able to return efforts are now being 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 at 10 pre comes to be set up 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. the syrian city of a leper very close to the turkish border was certainly one of the worst affected areas, a residence which is forced to flee their homes and gather at shelters. and those seeking refuge took a moment to share some of their stories with us. and i marvelled 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. the situation then became unbearable. she felt 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 been village for 30 s my were sleeping when they asked i had the regiment

they quickly got trashed and laughed women. oh i. ne, bryce. why we stayed for 2 days with him after that we came to all boston stadium anathema michigan, hovel, sleep. 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. now, we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance in while our russia has been among the very 1st to offer help to both nations service one have been there, helping to clear the danbury, it's also using fire fighting aircraft to extinguish flames which erupt it in 30 years following the quakes at moscow rescue teams have also been quick to distribute medical supplies and other forms of humanitarian aid. the most affected areas. in fact, even the syrian president, bashar al assad took him. i went to personally express his gratitude for russia's bless her friendly country and a win win surprised to see old this kind of support during this crisis course

has been fighting terrorism in syria, pulled the last 8 years now. and so when you support countries to pull those support to in support, country or people who support them in every aspect. oh for these are several problem or anything the face. but dorothy would think what you've done here is great work because did the 1st time you have yet to have such a disaster. who did do during the last 250 years completed. so we didn't have any citizen that got your, your teams. well, biddy, great in helping our team and saving many, many like however, the western years long sanctioning of syria, particularly by america, been blocking vital aid from getting into the country after the disaster. you see this map right here, major airline is as, as many as we understand with monetary and supplies have just been avoiding syrian territory for fear of punishment. well, as a nation struggles to receive the help,

it needs washington, particularly the state departments. ned price says, serial only has itself to blame and russia. 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 are hearing and c, b is just heartbreaking images. well conversely, it took 5 days off the quake for washington to announce plans to ease sanctions on syria. this is essentially due to mounting pressure from all around the world also from china and various humanitarian organizations as well. demanding the sanctions or east. we heard from local reporter mohammed, oddly, who described how western sanctions are hurting every day. people. western

countries continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now, but even during the years of for preventive syrians from getting their basic needs . for example, if, if the syrian government wanted to get some medicine and medical supplies for the country, the central bank of syria will not be able to make any transaction as a result of sanctions. this is just one example of what those sanctions have been doing. an effect how they have been affecting the lives of the syrian people to us and western countries in general. do not care about history and people's about the lives of history. and how can you, how can n syrian civilian or individual here believe that the u. s. care is about 3 and people while the u. s. itself and the us coalition killed hundreds of syrians during the christ has an air strike on syria destroyed houses, the u. s. looting theory 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 the product forces. former us president donald trump said he said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the syrian government to get that oil. so those statements, and those acts by the united states is a clear proof that they do not hear about the humanitarian situation inside syria. all they want is to implement their agenda over here. they want their political interests to be achieved. they want the conferences to, 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, one of the biggest stories, one of the biggest scandals over the past week, although the western media was mostly silent. the rest of the world's media was shaken by revelations that nato states lead by us specialists were allegedly behind the attack on russia's north stream 2 gas pipelines. according to the investigation,

washington had in fact, been planning the sabotaged operation since 2021. why does this isn't to sabotage the pipelines came after more than 9 months of highly secret back and forth the bait inside washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal? better and journalist seymour hersh revealed top us authorities were divided on their plans. the u. s. air force proposing an aerial attack using remote detonating explosives and naval forces, pushing for that of a submarine strike of some sort. now the ideas with time down in favor of a secret service plot involving a covert operation. us officials though, and you need to hear this for your self have previously been very open about their intentions of what to do with these pipelines. differ if russian vase then there will be yes we there will be no longer on our stream to we will get into

i am and i think the administration is very gratified to know that north stream q is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these 5 points that is more streamlined from 2. we're not pumping gas into europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. sy hersh is used unnamed sources to reveal atrocities that they have to deny this, and they have to try and smear this. i hush 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 nord stream pipeline attack on the 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 coaches. oh, 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. the whole operation began during nato's annual navy drills and the baltic sea very close to these pipeline. the tiny was designed to mask american and knowledge and divers from russian surveillance with saratoga allegedly planting camouflaged c for explosives. right? that not to cover their tracks. washington officials decided to delay the destination for 3 months until the drills at all wrapped up. well, meantime,

a so called independent investigative commission apparently helped to cover the tracks norway in america, that's according to hershey's report, and whether u. s. informing its partners of possible unusual activity in the baltic sea in june of sweden, germany and denmark formed a group to probe, but failed to find any clues while at the same time locking russia from investigating its own pipelines. that's of course, as european countries suffer, the consequences of a cutting off russian gas, though the us immediately denied seymour hersh his revelations, calling them complete nonsense. have you or anybody else at the state or a man of any communication with german, norwegian, ambassador, or other wise, or officials on this matter? on the matter of north between 2 on the matter of the latest obligations it would, it would not be typical for us to engage allies and 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. so these are size make revelations and enormous story and enormous scandal implicating washington and members of nato. and yet the western press for the most part, suspiciously silent. why do you think that is his liable? 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 that. 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 a name, a reporter, or on a name sources. 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, i eating, 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. quote the visit my li and people have long been waiting for. that's how molly's foreign minister describe the warm welcome of his russian count about. so he left off with moscow, his top dipping about noting all this in the face of the west demands that african nations condemn russia and several old ties with moscow. should i be a mister luis, mister minister, we've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and i think you'll visit his ready walk malay and people wanted to see mister minister. we decided to strengthen our cooperation with russia. and thus we're

showing that we're not going to make any excuses for the partners that we are choosing. we give gunderson who gets you in the ducks was up. we agreed that we do indeed see negative responses by western states to these are a cooperation processes because it's so one of the cases where we see the west despising the principle of the sovereign equality of states and trying to impose double standards on its former colonies. i thought for a fall, apropos, officially wrapped up his massive to her africa, bolstering the signing numerous contracts and strategic security, energy, and mining. just for a moment, let's have a look at some of the highlights. aah! with both russian sudan consistently come out in the you in and

supportive initiatives and 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 be made by the sudanese leadership to stabilize the internal political situation. so gay 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 multinational tore this time, visiting molly, martina, and so dead lover of recently made headlines when his south african counterpart lady bundled greeted him with open arms in pretoria. while there was little media hype about love's visit to the kingdom of esla teenie, 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 and addis ababa to meet with the african union chair as well as the ethiopian prime minister. the german end, the french foreign affairs ministers, also this is the country claiming they were there to help with the p some 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 worst twin europeans and the americans and russia. china, brazil, turkey. oh, she take it. sure enough here. big political, oh economy. it's been felt for years, of course. but the ukraine conflict seems to have solidify the sense of us versus them. following years of neglect and half hearted commitments to the continent, the west has woken up to the core reality of strong ties. china and russia have been building on the african continent. when the us treasury secretary janet the ellen visited, senegal and zambia. she took shots and america strategic phones, claiming that both russia and china bear, the pa shall responsibility for the economic woes on 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 at times, derogatory messages, a point a best exhibited by the in use. foreign affairs chief. yes you do. and the rest of the world must of 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 as billy ally to the african jungle having supported many

a liberation movement. as all across the vast continent, countries sought 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 marley surprised only a few. the military you into which sees 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 faith phrase, 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 sudan, a conflict written country in the east of the continent,

which has been striving for stability, and miss political wrangling, and a fight on terror. cartoon and moscow have already agreed to start discussions with 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 quasi monopoly in many parts of africa, wishing west africa and sal, and indeed ingenuity. over the years there's been a growing presence of china or russia feeds music is of all economic. it won't be. and what the west is worried about is losing their share in the economy sector. i may say political influence that worried and concerned with having less political influence on the continent. so we can see,

despite the west push for african countries to distance themselves from russia, sergey lovegrove continues to be met with wide open arms and love. maybe because in the minds of many africans, fraternity will always trump colonialism. got, i'm going to try to pull out of tea, and john is vick, of course, one of the biggest stories this week, essentially, confirmation that america and nato were behind the ball began sabotage of rushers. nod stream pipelines, details online at odds. he dot com. ah ah ah ah.
