i think it was time time to sit down and talk with the head of russia. it's not going to groups his 5 have taken that don't. yes, we're public village of class. now i gotta, i key foot whole auto mall school, so known as talk moves which the ukrainians have been faithfully defending the love over $30000.00 are confirmed dead off the catastrophic earthquake pit turkey. i'm theory a whole continue to rise of both countries that struggle to coast to fall out. they bombshell report fine award winning american journalist, the legend, u. s. involvement the sabotaging of north stream gas pipelines,

using nato military exercises in the baltic state. to cover that track with a very welcome to you, you're watching the weekly on naughty international bringing you the latest world news updates. along with around the put the stories that shape the weight. good to happy with this. now top story this out, the head to all the rushes market, the military group is confirmed that his fighters have taken control of the village of class niagara. and they don, yes, republic, gaining a new thought, hold there amongst long assault on the city of all to him. all this also noticed by commute, which is it still health? why he had troops with development increase. his pressure on ukrainian 4th is in the case there to late 50 of vital transportation hub for key f sports is on potentially paved the way for further advances, which could lead to russian force is taken full control of the don't yet were public ortiz ecos donna reports from don bass with the latest,

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 cham, 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 in formation. now when it comes to class ny itself, again, it is quite important. a 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 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 commands they have been sending reinforcements regularly and in a many have described this tactics as well, the tactics of cannon fodder. basically they would 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 our jobs. cuz 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 fighters into the city of our charm of. and right now the since the casner garad village has fallen, it brings are close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous. the ukrainian president vladimir lensky, has posted photos on his social media of

a ukrainian soldier, donning insignia resembling that used by nancy germany. here in a screen shot of the post where the ukranian lead a cause on citizens to unify. you can see a soldier sporting the controversial patch on his shoulder, ironically receiving hundreds of likes in the following eyes. the exact same image then as the death's head was, he is doing the 2nd mode ward my ss units that ran hitler's extermination camps. this isn't the 1st time zalinski is posted photos with such symbols in another picture which has since been deleted the latest god was also seen wearing the same nazi era emblem the ukrainian president has since called on the offensive stating that such narratives contradict his country's history the ukraine on your news and ukraine in real life are 2 completely different countries. and the main difference between them as ours is real. you are told we are nazis. but could of people who lost more than a 1000000 lives in the battle against naziism support naziism we talked

a geopolitical storm uptake and he said that such posts repeatedly appear on the ukrainian leaders. social media is not something us. the media would object to see this time and time again when they, when they don't have a p r person to review every single thing that they're doing. we are seeing this type of symbolism use consistently. even if you remember a few months ago, i think it was m b c news had some guy giving the standing front of a grinning flag and giving the nazi salute. so, you know, this is very consistent in ukraine and you know, their belief systems, half of probably don't know what the symbolism means because they're just a bunch of talking heads. and the other one is, it's not in their interest to speak about things. you know,

they're not allowed to buy their, their, of their corporate masters take year and theory. i continue to struggle with the devastating aftermath of earthquakes which had both countries on monday, with the desktop now exceeding a $30000.00 ah ah mm hm. they have torn my heart out, were completely broken. no for the new modem. ah,

a a miss ross was lou families under there. my sons, my daughter, my son in law. they are 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 a,

i'm not in a me, 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 go on the 12th floor. we can't reach my family, my grandson. ah, he's been 16 since the debt. he asked, quick and rescue, as are continuing the search for survivors as sometimes miracles do happen is what it shows elated. emergency work is after finding a man alive, despite being trapped under rebel for days. many of his wakeful news on their loved ones at ease at peter scott reports on how the country is coping with 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 her, there are people that once lived in our building and then now waiting for news of their relatives who in many cases are still stock under the rubble. i want to wait here because my son, his wife and guests, and 6 of my relatives were in the 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, but us 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 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 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 excavate, says to help with the efforts here. and there are also vans, puts with humanitarian aid unbalances had in, in to do what they could do, the sites and breed families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets about a young man, the temperature still drop well below the oh, at nights and 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 turkey, as 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 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 settled, 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. as he ran, city overlap only the turkish border with one of the whilst affected areas. residents were forced to flee their homes and gather at shelters by seeking refuge, shared some of their stories. i melissa 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 string of the situation, then became unbearable. she held the women and children started to cry and scream, the i'll even the palestinian refugee camp. 2 inhabited houses opposite us

collapsed as me had by the handle. i have been living in our been village for 30 years while we were sleeping when they asked they had the region sick, they quickly got trust and laughed were man tall, our neighbors, where we stayed for 2 days with him. after that, we came to our boston stadium. i receive him 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 season now. we came to seek refuge in the national stadium where we were welcomed and provided with the required assistance. this week the media landscape has been shaken by revelations that nato states lead by us specialists were allegedly behind the attack on russia nord stream to gas pipelines. according to the investigation, washington had been planning the operation since 2021 by the decision 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. veteran journalist seymour hersh revealed top us authorities were divided on their plans with the u. s. air force proposing an aerial attack, utilizing remote detonating explosives and naval forces, pushing for a submarine strike. well, the ideas were turned down in favor of a secret service plot involving a covert operation. u. s. officials that though, and you need to hear this for yourself, had previously made no secrets of their intentions. differ if russia invades then there will be, there will be no longer a nor 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 see these pipelines that is more streamlined

with 2. we're not pumping gas and to europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come side. her, she has used unnamed sources to reveal atrocities and they have to deny this and they have to try and smear as 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 north 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 join a store who served on the instruction book now had of nature. the panamanian

president florentine corte so 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 victorian newland have an effect murdered. the operation began during nathan's annual navy drills in the bowl take see close to the pipelines. the timing was designed to mask american on norwegian divers from russian surveillance with sabbath has allegedly plans in camouflage c for explosives. that's a cover that truck washington officials decided to delay the destination for 3 months until the drills had left. a so called independent investigative commission apparently helped cover the tracks of allies, norway, and america. that's according to her. she's report with the u. s. informing is partners if possible, unusual activity in the both ecc, in june, sweden, germany on denmark, form the group to probe,

but failed to find any clues while simultaneously blocking russia from investigating its own pipelines. well, that as you are p and countries suffered, the consequences of having russia does impose cut off the u. s. immediately denies the american journalists, revelations, labeling them complete nonsense. have you or anybody else at the state department of any communication with german norwegian ambassador or other allies or calls on this matter on the matter of string to on the matter of the latest allegations, it would, it would not be typical for us to engage allies and partners on something that is other incomplete nonsense and that should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through up through an objective lens, legal on media analysts line or questions why the western media has lost. we remained silent on the investigation. the bomb shell report doesn't surprise

anyone because immediately after this happened, a lot of people said, wait a minute. this looks fishy. but we'll, and 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 be a lot better to say, well, 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 median. 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's a 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. the pakistan's government is said to impose

a new electricity tax on it. citizens in order to satisfy a demand from the international monetary funds to release a long way to the bailout package, as i'm about has called the new reform is painful but necessary for the country to receive a one point. $1000000000.00 trunk from the i. m. s. well, the new tax isn't the only requirement set by the i m f, which is still in talks with pakistan over the release of the loan. the international finance agency also wanted lama to end the tax exemptions for its export sector, and raise the price of petrol and gas in the country. pakistan has agreed to use these new measures to raise $630000000.00 in taxes by june to prove that it can pay back its upcoming debt back in 2019 at b. i. m ethic. we to lend pocket on $6000000000.00 followed by another $1000000000.00 deal and next year. however, it's not about has yet to see any of that money. wall is economy lines closer towards the risk of a default. the country has already been hit by record inflation on the humanitarian

disaster. following last is devastating floods. millions of civilians remained at risk of hunger and disease due to contaminated waters across pakistan. a political economist told us the i m. f isn't interested in helping the people of pakistan is it only cares about turning a profit into the l. e. i m f does not care either. we are able to fulfill or not. i did, we are facing some problem or not. they are only concerned about yet on the conditions, because if we look at the, i'm at the are doing the same a this along the give the loan out of the money to the countries just to meet profit out of that, the least interested what would be on fact, on that social setup of the country, you can see this is not all. in fact, if you look at the history of what i'm dealing with the countries like in latin america, gina and what are the or you can talk, what are your 3 countries hungry or the grief the i'm not concerned about the

social life or the condition. i didn't go work on the country will be able to implement it is a beneficial for the people that has an impact on the people, common people. they are only infrastructure to their food down and meet and they want to make sure that the money should be going to come back to them. been the profit and the dividend. so this is our question and we talked about on the mortality or that takes better mark. i've no worse, i am a does not have an interest in leasing. one of the world's most corrupt organizations, data hungry is foreign minister, has branded the european parliament. this comes with budapest pushes back pressure from brussel to sanction nuclear cooperation with russia. trust in the european parliament is almost had 0 reasons. corruption, events have clearly shown that we are talking about one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. the resolutions of the european parliament usually brought harm to europe. the 10th sanctions package can only cause even greater

troubles, harm and challenges to us. hungary does not support any sanctions that would restrict access to nuclear energy or cooperation with russia in the sphere. many states do not understand why a regional conflict needs to be inflated to such an extent that it has negative global consequences and why peace can be achieved. earlier hungarian prime minister victor all been stated that he would veto all possible sanctions from fellow members against russian nuclear energy hunger. we rely on moscow to run its only atomic power plant as the fuel supplied by russia. budapest has long been calling on the west to abandon its sanctions policy and sit down for talks with moscow while we're fixing it. security concerns, according to a new sweeping nation wide pole. 97 percent of hungarians, oppose the sanctions on russia. now discuss this with august george samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thing tank. many, thanks for joining us on the program. georgia. now the hungarian foreign minister

has called the europe in parliament, one of the most corrupt organizations in the world, which is almost completely undermined as credibility. how do you assess this statement? is it a step to fall? well, it's so there's a sudden rhetorical flourish to it. ok, but yeah it's, it's a bit of a problem that the european parliament has repeatedly condemned hungary for its quote, corruption and quote, without ever a specifying what's so corrupt about hungary. and now we have all these corruption scandals that prevail in brussels. so it's understandable that the government says, well, you've been accusing us all this time about being corrupt. well, you know, you should get your own house in order 1st. so how do you expect the relations between hungary and brussels is the other fellow members to proceed off to the standing statements? oh, they will continue to be as bad as they have been in the past.

brussels obviously just cannot stand. they can run would love to see the back of him. the problem that they have is that or is popular among the hungarian public and you know, he's one now for success. a landslide victory is still a relatively young man. so he's going to be around for some time, but it is a question. i mean, even as a form there lie, i am a commission that talks about the 10th round of sanctions. i'm are able to take the science it's, they can pull the sy, which is that we're not going to do anything that damages, hunger is national interest. and of course we're, we're still on their lie records with instruments that said disposal that to bring recalcitrant members in the line. but the problem is that their instruments are now, you know, becoming a little dull because she's already applied all the instruments. i've already with

hel, funds from hunger. rick. there's no more that they can do to hungry, short of kicking hungry out of the you and they really don't want to go up like st . george sanctions package, number 10, expected by the end of this month. and we key, we met the thing this question every time they impose a new package of sanctions. that's how effective, how these measures been so far. well this is an am is very effective because the goal of sanctions, the extent that there is a goal, is to effect a policy change. want to close the sanctions of not effect of any kind of policy change on the part of russia and the sanctions have not really heard russia anything like they were expected to the sanctions have however, the euro, which is suffering from inflation and from exorbitant energy prices, and the european public is a very, very tired of this,

and there's no end in sight. so they can have 101112 rounds of sanctions. but there's no indication at all that any of them will have any effect or very on this reason. hungary, a russia is a producer of goods that the rest of the world ones that can use energy. they produce grain that produce fertilizer, your special metals goal. now you name it that you have the strength, you're only vulnerable if you need to buy things from the rest of the work. russia doesn't have to. and so the sanctions inevitably fail. a better past it seems like is one of the few in coding for a peaceful solution to the ukraine conflict. just how much support is that such an approach among other european nations, aids, budapest, to learn this? well, the good of us government, i think, is, is alone in this, in terms of the european public. i think hungary is very much within the mainstream of europe. there is no enthusiasm anywhere in europe among the ordinary voting

public for prolonging this war. continuing this bike on behalf of ukraine, which is not a member of the, you're not a member of nato and view is just as you quoted, the author think this is a regional conflict. what does it got to do with us? and why do we have to make the sacrifices? why do we have to suffer or ukraine? that's a prevalent view in europe. and the measure of it is where the demonstrations against russia wearily protest outside the russian embassy and russians out of your brain. so no way the only demonstrations you see in europe, a demonstration of things, the end this already and bring peace, the ukraine. so that's the mainstream european opinion. however, in terms of the government of europe, unfortunately too many of them are too intimidated by the united states too.

intimidated by we're still on the line and brussels bureaucracy and they publicly still go along with policies that they know have no chance of succeeding. so samuel, a senior research fellow at a level policy institute thing tank always a pleasure. many thanks for joining us on the program for evening. thank you and thank you for joining us on our t international. as always, all the latest updates to be found on our website all t dot com, but we'll be back in 30 minutes with is dabbled freely. i wouldn't be a free
