russian gap with as very one. welcome to you, watching the weekly on, on the international bringing you the latest wealth news updates along with around the put the stories that shapes the week. it's good to happy with us. now the head of rushes, wagner, military group has confirmed that his fighters have taken control of the village of trust, niagara and don, yes, republic, getting a new foothold for them. month long assault on the city of r to mosque also known as bach mood, which is still held by caps troops. the development increases pressure on ukrainian force is in the key city, which is the vital transportation hub for key ebs forces and potentially paved the way for further advances which could lead to russian force is taking full control at the don. yes, republic are teeth. eco star reports from dumbass. 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'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 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 cras niagara 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 bass 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 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 v casner garad village has fallen, it brings are close at the moment when this one final road becomes too dangerous. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has posted photos on his social media of ukrainian soldier donning insignia resembling that used by nazi germany. here it

has screenshot of the post where the ukranian lead a cause on citizens to unify. he considers soldiers sporting the controversial patch on his shoulder, ironically, receiving hundreds of likes in the following hours. the exact same and itch. and then is the death's head was used during the 2nd world war by assess the units that ran hitler's extermination camps. is of the 1st times, lensky has posted photos with such symbols in another picture which has since been deleted. one of the ukrainian presidents bodyguards was also seen wearing the same nazi error emblem. lensky has since gone on the defensive are claiming that such narratives actually contradict his country's history. do ukraine on your news? and ukraine in real life are 2 completely different countries. and the main difference between them is ours is real. you are told we are nazis. but could a people who lost more than a 1000000 lives in the battle against naziism support naziism?

we talked to jeer political unless john mark dick and he said that such posts repeatedly appearing on the ukrainian need. his social media is not something the western media would objects to b. c, 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 you printing flag and giving the nazi salute. so, you know, this is very consistent in ukraine and you know, their belief systems half and 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. they're not allowed to buy their,

their, of their corporate masters. when the mall in milan protest is gathered in front of the italian state radio and television headquarters on saturday to protest against plans. the broadcasts flood them is lensky. speak. hearing one of the most famous music festivals in italy, some ramos, the ukranian president's address was scheduled to be played there, but the movie was eventually postponed. many italians against mixing music with politics, as well as sending more weapons to ukraine. turkey and syria continue to struggle with the devastating aftermath of earthquakes, which had both countries on monday with the death toll now exceeding $30000.00 ah

ah mm hm. they have torn my heart, were completely broken. no, for the new modem ah, a visit with . mm mm

mm i miss roswell. 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 no more. mm hm. be my grandson is 18 months, so please help them please. we can have them have not got any news from them since the morning please. there weren't the 12 so we can't reach my family, my grandson. ah,

it's been 6 days since the deadliest quake and rescue as a continuing their search for survivors and sometimes miracles do happen. this method shows elated. emergency work is after finding a man alive, despite being trapped under rebel for days on many others, wait for news on their loved ones. are thes, peter scott reports on how the country is coping with a disaster. or 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 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 i said little consolation to residence, waiting for news of their relatives who were trapped, all those who are forced to sleep on the streets or seek shelter elsewhere. while government engineers go through the daunting process of is showing 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 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 trucks carrying heavy excavate says to help with the effort here. and there also funds puts with humanitarian aid and volunteers had in, in to do what they could do. the sites are buried. families struggling to contain their grief is all too common on the streets of a yeoman, the temperatures or job well below 0 at nights, and that provides their own set of challenges to those who don't have a home. many of the people we sco to hear said that help us 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 the 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 is donald, i'm a lawyer originally from a donna, but now i live in istanbul. i came here to rescue people from the collapse building st, 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. ensuring 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 learnt. assyrian city of ally pony the turkish border was one of the worst affected areas. residents were forced to flee their homes and gather, had shelters by seeking refuge and shared some of their stories. and i'm marvellous 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 string of the situation, then became unbearable. she felt the women and children started to cry and scream, or d, i live in the palestinian refugee camp. 2 inhabited houses opposite us collapsed as me had by the handle, have been living in our ben village for 30 years. my were sleeping when they asked i had the regency, they quickly got trust and laughed were man to our neighbors to where we stayed for 2 days. we'll have to that we came to unfasten, had him. but she will have us leave. i've been displaced before and i am displeased again because of the natural disaster. i can thank god, i'm safe and may god have mercy on the season. now. we came to seek refuge in the

national stadium where we were welcomed and providing the required assistance. however, the west for years long sanctioning of syria, particularly america, have been blocking vitally from guessing into syria as the disaster. as you can see on this mob, major carriers with humanitarian supplies have been avoiding the syrian territory well as the nation struggles to receive. the help it needs washington, particularly the state departments net price, it say that syria has only 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. when it took 5 days off, the quakes took the kinds with washington to announce pounds to e sanctions on syria. i made mounting pressure from states like china and humanitarian organizations, such as the red crescent. we had some local report, mohamad ali, who described how western restrictions are hurting everyday people. western countries continue to impose those sanctions. those sanctions, not just now, but even during the years of for prevent the syrians from getting there a basic mean, for example, this is 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. this is just one example of what those sanctions have been doing and how they have been affecting the life of the people. the us and western countries in general do not care about history and peoples about the lives of the syrian. how can you, how can any syrian civilian or individual here believe that the u. s. here is about

3 and people while the us itself and the us listen killed, hundreds of syrians doing the crisis, an air strike on syria. the story houses the u. s. looting resources. the u. s. is 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 donald from said he said we're keeping the oil, we're not allowing the government to get in touch all those statements. and those act why they not have a clear prove 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 country 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, the us and norway colluded to orchestrate

a top secret operation that crippled the node stream gas pipelines in september. that's according to a bombshell investigation release this week. my distinguished american journalist, seymour hersh slicing an anonymous source with direct knowledge of the plan by does 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. according to seymour hersh, top american officials were divided, told my plans with the air force proposing an aerial attack with remotely detonated explosives on the navy, pushing for a submarine strike. well, these ideas were eventually turns down in favor of a u. s. navy operation with norwegian military assistance assistance to france, explosives directly on the pipelines president biden had previously made no secret of his intention to stop the flow of gas from russia to germany. if,

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 street too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlined to we're not pumping gas into europe that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for for the years to come, sy hersh has used unnamed sources to reveal atrocities that 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 gnawed 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 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 victorian newland have an effect murdered. according to the report, the operation began in june during nato's annual navy drills in the baltic sea close to the pipelines. the timing was designed to mask american on norwegian divers from russian surveillance with sabbath says, planting camouflage c for explosives on the pipes. us officials decided to delay

the destination for 3 months to invite avoid any direct links to their military activity in the area. on september 26th, and the weekend surveillance plane made a seemingly routine flight over the area while dropping a special device that sent a signal to detonate the bombs on the sea. bad weather report also claims the us mis let its allies in denmark and sweden by deceiving them about the unusual activity at the pipelines. while american navy divers were planting the explosives . following the last in september, sweet in germany and mock formed a so called independent group to prove the incident, but fail to find any clues or similar tenuously, blocking russia from investigating its own pipelines buses. nato officials tried to pin the blame for the sound, the casual moscow with 0 evidence. the also of the damning report, pull it surprise when a female has she is famous for exposing the watergate scandal as well as us war crimes in vietnam and iraq. however,

washington has been quick to dismiss his latest revelations as false and complete fiction. have you or anybody else at the state department of any communication with german norwegian ambassador, or other wise referrals 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 in partners on something that is utter and complete nonsense, and it should be rejected out of hand by anyone who is looking at it through us through an objective lens, legal on the media, on the list line or questions while the western journalists have failed to follow up 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 let's, let's look at it this way. irrespective of, of the, your perspective, for 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, 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 median. now, how dare he uses a name, a reporter, or on a name sources. let 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, 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 as a while. 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. ah, pakistan's government is said to impose a new electricity tax on its citizens in order to satisfy a demand from the international monetary funds to beneath a long awaited bailout package is unabashed, is called the new reforms painful but necessary for the country to receive

a $1100000000.00 trench from the ins, but the mate has well, its locals. he said they're not prepared to bad at burton education in all the past agreements with the i m f. the main problem is that the money we borrow goes to the expenses and pleasures of the elite ruling families. while common people get none of it. but in our rulers and rich people are getting richer when they sign agreements and receive loans for their own benefits than the value of the dollars increases which doubles the dead amount. and we, poor people are supposed to bear the burden because the government wants to receive the next tranche. this way, prices go up so we must realize what is going on here. the politicians are responsible for this mess, but i think our people are also equally responsible. the time has come for us to rethink this country's future on the current government has completely failed and cannot improve. the situation is the only solution for us is to proceed with a new general election. oh,

only thing on the comic this alley was voting. he's there from like his son. recently after about intensive blogs, v b i m f t y hassan as eve, believe goes me one texas, i'm not a 100 b with from them. this law, me are demanding that bike spawn was not oh, the mailer daemon with a international i wound is loose in business and economic. alexa. the new tax isn't the only requirement sent by the i m f, which is still in talks with pakistan over the release of the loan. the international finance agency also wants islamic bonds to end tax exemptions for its export sex of raise the price of prices 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 it's coming debt. well, back in 2019 the i m f agreed to lend pakistan $6000000000.00 followed by another $1000000000.00 deal. the next gen, however, islam about as yet to see any if that money wall is economy slides closer towards the risk of a default. and the country has already been hit by record inflation and the humanitarian dissolves. the following. last year is devastating floods. millions of civilians remain at risk of hunger and disease due to contaminated waters across pakistan. a political economist told is the i m. f isn't interested in helping the people of pakistan as it only cows about turning a profit into reality. i most does not get either we are able to fulfill or not. i did, we are facing some problem or not. they are only concerned about their terms and conditions because if we look at the, i may have, they are doing this in a, this alone, they give the loan out of that money to the countries just to meet profit off or

off of that. the at least interested what would be impact on the social set up of the country. you can see this is not going back to fund. if you look at the history of what i'm dealing with the countries like it's the latin america, argentina, and the but as he or you can talk about the european countries hungry or the grief the i'm not concerned about the social life or the condition. i didn't go walk us on video card. we will be able to implement. it is a beneficial part, but people are, it has an impact on the people come and people. they are only and frustrated to their program and made. and they want to make sure that the other money should be going to come back to them. been the profit and dbi did. so this is aldo question. we talked about on the morality or that takes, i've been to work. i've been worse, i am a doesn't have any interest in the things for the latest news updates, as well as opinion pieces, debate, and documentaries. you can visit our website policy dot com. thank you for choosing oxy international with

a welcome to wells apart. the year of 2022 to send the apple cart for international politics in more ways than one. but the launch of the russian military operation in your credit has definitely divided the historical timelines into before and not only for those with the direct stake in the culture, but also for those watching from the sidelines. what's really take to ride the car them get besides moving to with pete spoke to discuss that i'm now joined from her on by dust tune the senior researcher at york university and also of several books

on relation between india and the countries of the former soviet union definitely did a great on a great pleasure for me to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you. and i thank you for the invitation and giving the be the opportunity to speak with the audience through your media. and i have been following trade and r t. so i'm really happy to be a part of this show. that's amazing because i found your personal and academic background extremely interesting. and i think it provides a unique vantage point on to this conundrum. because you spend years growing up and studying in both russia and ukraine, then you went on to further york a damn a career in the west while also keeping in touch with your country of origin in day, which has long strive for a balance position. so i think you have this unique combination of both proximity and distance to everybody involved in this war. and i'm wondering what do you

find yourself and all of this, not only as an academic, but also as a human being. i have spent a lot of my time in russia as well as in green during my early i got the kids i was in russia and then i also started in your grade in the give a the international relation institute as my specialization is international relations. again, to weekly, i've been involved with this region for now many decades and i have been working and my research is focusing mainly on the street region. so i have some sort of understanding and clarity of the present situation and why it is today like this and why it appears, whatever it is are today. because this is, as we all know, this is not a one day or 2 day conflict. this has been going on for many years and as i mentioned that.
