ah, with a in the headlines on top stories on r t, the head of the wagner group says his fight has have taken control of the village of kraft. my daughter is a key defense point near officer, also known as a button over 26000. now confirmed dead off catastrophic earthquake to slam into turkey and syria. as a death hole continues to rise. both countries are struggling to cope and a bomb shell report by an award winning american john list uncovered american involvement in the sabotage of nor stream gas pipelines. ultimately, using nato drills in the baltic sea to cover their tracks

with what a busy week is being here. we're not into national. so running down the highlights of the week and this hour's top stories as well. it's a pleasure to have you with us. so the head of the wagner group has said that his fight has now taken control of the village of crap. i gotta a strategically important settlement north of a trouble officer, also known as back boat. now the development does at the end of the day increase pressure on ukrainians forces in a key city, a vice told transportation hub for key fighters and the potentially paving the way for further advances. if you look at this map, essentially moving westwards here, potentially northwest as well. this could lead to russian forces at the end of the day, taking full control of the don. yes, republic reporting from don bass. now his, it goes down off, 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 our charm 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'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 your 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. are they, sir, 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 thomas, 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 a when it comes to taking the town of ourselves. because basically, to cut off the supply routes, 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 fight as into the city of our cha moves. and right now the since the crossing garage village has full and it brings are close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous for a perhaps the biggest story of the week. and that of the biggest tragedy as well. turkey and syria continued a struggle with a devastating aftermath of earthquakes,

which had both countries. on monday we understand now updating the numbers, the death toll has exceeded 30000. ah mm hm. they have tune my hearted were completely broken. no, for the new modem. ah, oh god decided to visit

with me. ah, i'm his roswell. new 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 done in a meeting. grandson is 18 months, so please help them please. we can hear them have not got any news from them since

the morning. please go on the 12th floor. we can't reach my family, my grandson. mm . it has been 6 days since the deadly earthquakes and rescuers are continuing their search for survives, sometimes miracles do happen. this. what is right here showing elated emergency workers off to finding a man alive. despite being trapped under the rubble for days. and while many others are waiting for any news on their loved ones, on his peter scott, now repulse and how the country is struggling to come. what you can see behind me is a residential building that was once h or is high and is now been reduced to rubble. as you can see here,

there are people that once lived in that 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, wayne building when the earthquakes drive. my grandson herron is 4 years old. he was also in the building. is city may have got off relatively lightly, thus of little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who are trapped or those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go through the daunting process of ins, showing the thousands of homes here are safe to live in once again from the outskirts of the city of id. um and it was instantly clear that its been much more badly affected. the d a 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 shops carrying heavy excavators to help with the efforts here. and they also vans pots with humanitarian

aid and volunteers, heading in to do what they could do, the sites and breed families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of at a young man. the temperature still joke well below 0 at night and that provide 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 took. he is president edwin himself admitted that there had been shortcomings, but the relief effort now appears to be gathering pace. as soon as earthquake struck, thousands of volunteers flocked to the airport in the stumble, to join the search and rescue efforts in the disaster area. although the him, he stumbled, i'm a lawyer originally from a donna, but now i live in his temple. 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 his residence will be able to return, as it is 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 temporary 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. for the assyrian city of alameda, very close to the turkish border was one of the worst affected areas. residents were forced to free their homes and gather at shelters, and those seeking refuge took a moment to share some of their stories with us. i'm already in my hovels, deadly at 4 am. we were sleeping in the house when we felt a slight shake, which soon turned into an earthquake. 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, or d, i leave in the palestinian refugee camp to inhabited houses opposite us collapsed.

as me had by the handle have been living in our been village for 30 s my were sleeping when they asked i had the regency, they quickly got trust and laughed women toll our neighbors to where we stayed for 2 days. after that, we came to our boston stadium anathema vision, hovel sleeve. 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 to the season now. we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance. would you? meanwhile, russia has been among the very 1st to aid both nations with the service men helping clear debris and his fire fighting air craft extinguishing flames which erupted in turkey, f following. the quakes. moscow rescue teams have also been quick to distribute medical supplies and other forms of humanitarian aid, with the syrian president, bashar al assad, even personally, taking a moment to express his gratitude to moscow. russia is

a friendly country and there will wound surprise to see all this kind of support during this crisis. chorus has been fighting terrorism in syria pulled along the 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 is our civil problem or anything the faith. but do i think we think what you've done here is a great work because it, the 1st time you syria to have subsidies as a full do do during the last 250 years completed. so we didn't have any citizen that the got your, your team, we're very great in helping our team and saving many, many lives. however, what the mainstream media won't tell you is that the west's years long sanctioning of syria, particularly in america's have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the earthquakes. you can see this flight rate truck right here with major

airliners as we understand some of them carrying humanitarian supplies, deliberately avoiding syrian territory. now as the 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 see be just heartbreaking images. well, the fact matter is that took 5 days after the earthquake for washington to announce plans to ease sanctions on syria. this is and made mounting pressure from all around the world, including countries like china,

also various humanitarian organizations as well. so washington eventually buckled. we heard from local reporter mohammed, lee, you described how western restrictions are hurting every day. people confess, continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now, but even during the years of for prevent the theory and from getting there are basic mean, for example, if, if the syrian government wants us 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 such sentence, this is just one example of what those sanctions have been doing an effect. how would they have been affecting the life of the syrian people, the u. s. and western countries in general do not care about history and people's about the lives of the syrians. 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 ride on syria destroyed houses, the u. s. looting serious resources. the u. s. is dividing the country by occupying parts in the north and the north east and giving that oil some of that oil to the so called through the product courses. former us president donald from said you said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the through government to get that all those statements and those act why they not. if 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 country to, 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, while the western media stayed mostly silent this week, the rest of the world's media was shaken by revelations that nato states lead by american specialists were indeed allegedly behind the attack on russia's north

stream. 2 gas pipelines, according to a special investigation, washington had in fact, been preparing the operation since 2021 by does decision to sabotage to pipelines came up for more than 9 months of highly secret back and forth debate inside washington's national security community. about how to best achieve that goal. veteran journalist seymour hersh revealed top us authorities were divided on that plans. first one was for the u. s. air force to, well drop bombs on the pipelines, but then remotely detonate them as a naval forces were also pushing for something they called as a form of a submarine strike. now, the ideas were turned down in favor of a secret service plot involving a covert operation. u. s. officials, though, and you need to hear this for yourself. i previously openly made no secret of their intentions. for if russian vase then there will be there

will be no longer on our 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 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. cider. shes used unnamed sources to reveal, draw cities that they have to deny this, and they have to try and smear this irish 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 sub stack. the norwegian prime minister journal 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. let's give you the scoop here on our team, because well, nobody else will do it. at the operation began during nato's annual navy drills and the baltic sea very close to the pipeline. you see right there. the timing was designed to mask american and norwegian divers from russian surveillance with separate toes, allegedly plotting camouflage c for explosives right down there. that part of the map. now to cover their tracks,

washington officials decided to delay the destination for 3 months until the drills had wrapped up. now, a so called independent investigative commission, apparently helped a couple of the tracks of allies, norway, and america, that's according to his report. and for the u. s informing, as part as a possible unusual activity in the baltic sea in june. will sweden, germany, and denmark formed a group the pro, but failed to find any clues. while at the very same time blocking russia from investigating its own sovereign pipelines that south european countries suffered, of course, the consequences of having cut off russian gas. well, the u. s. immediately and perhaps predictably deny the american journalist revelations, calling them complete and utter nonsense. have you or anybody else at the state department of any communication with german norwegian, ambassador or other allies 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 in partners on something that is utter incomplete nonsense. and that should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through us through an objective lens. yeah, and you wonder why so many people have a difficult time accepting what comes out of the white house these days and also what comes out of the western media, but as well. they didn't want to talk about this. why didn't the western media want to talk about this? well, his lionel with his opinion, the bomb shell report doesn't surprise anyone because immediately after this happened, a lot of people said, wait a minute. this looks fishy bullets. 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 it'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 would ever 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. bella roofs is set to supplies in bob way with 4000 units of agricultural machinery in the next 2 years that has come into the string of bilateral agreements have been signed during a visit by the bell. russian president lucas shanker to the south african country, a farmer's there say the new equipment is crucial to increase production and export capabilities. we really up loud and excited about other countries like

belarus that are coming in to ah, facilitate, enable us to continue producing and also encourage those countries not to let us down as much as we produce less of what we need. but more of what we have to export, having an extra trip to us from the government will definitely increase our production capacity into a failure. quite excited. so bob way also confirmed a $66000000.00 fall mechanization program with bella was last year alone. the nation's wheat harvest broke a 50 year record, increasing a staggering 13 percent with global markets facing instability. the country has been able to save $300000000.00 on import costs this year alone. as bob was president says minsky, the leading example of successful agriculture shows such a vision for his country. i am very happy that from the 1st day i met my brother

lucas shan't go. we have similar chemistry in terms of looking at how to develop our respective countries on the basis of our domestic resources, as well as cooperation of the countries which have no intention of dominating us. i so how mechanized the bell recycler culture sector is? and i said this is the vision i also have for, as in bob where we would want as a nation, as a people to be fully secure the nation as a whole, continue to suffer a long standing american sanctions which impose restrictions on areas of finance. visa, as well as the provision of non humanitarian aid. well, according to washington, it's policy towards him. bob, it is aimed at incentivizing behavioral changes and things will remain the way they are until that goal is a chief. well, if we and farmers, however, say that government still managers that hope that people, despite pressure from various western partners, we are quite ready, excited design farmers to have our government supporting us in our endeavors. this

promise, this program will push us quite a lot in terms of capitalizing iowa or pulsations who have very much involved in the hub, bump harvest to we did contribute quite a lot in the production of with last season into our encourage from us to take advantage of this opportunity, by wrapping up this i was addition of the weekly here or not he international thanks for sharing a time with us for the sunny program will be wrap up the top stories of the week. and today's main headlines we will return with your stories, the top of the oh, in the year of 1954,

the united states of america engaged in warfare against the people of vietnam. the white house supported the corrupt puppet government of southern vietnam. in 1965 americans began their invasion following the aim to defeat the forces of vietnamese patriots. the pentagon was confident that the victory would be on the american side due to its military superiority. however, the vietnamese turn this war into a total hell for the occupants. unable to cope with guerrillas, the american army started blanket bombing alongside using chemical weapons and napalm which burnt all alive. the village of my lay wearing 1969 american soldiers killed 504 civilians, including 210 children, became a tragic symbol of this war. all in all, during the whole period of this conflict,

the usa dropped on vietnam more than $6000000.00 tons of bombs, which is 2 and a half times as much as on germany during the 2nd world war. in 973, the american army under the pressure of the rebels, withdrew from vietnam. and only 2 years later did the puppet regime in saigon fall . however, the vietnamese paid a high price for their freedom. more than 1000000 vietnamese people became the victims of american aggressors. ah, ah ah

ah ah, ah . is dabbled freely?

i wouldn't be a free a go to products or not, is it a still somebody sitting benefit eagle influences you would have them in the body. it good. okay. emily daddy's already got you and has real value. you know, we've been getting gustavo left in my view like tv i've noticed when did you start with a new or new? not easy to to everything that you are getting that is going to be a rabbi without a thought as to boot up on it. you got it in the moon, build like a stuffy and we'll go out with
