i change whatever you do, don't watch my show, stay mainstream, because i'm probably gonna make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, but we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you think. i would lose position. well, the russian forces inside the village of modern art follows russian troops as they advanced in the battle for one of the ukrainian strongholds outside. done yet, as turkey and serious struggle with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake humanitarian help is being delivered from all over the world, including from one of the most crisis stricken states. nothing ruled out that's the comment of the u. s. air force official on whether the mysterious object shot down

in canada overnight could be extra terrestrial with good morning from our tutor, national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hours most pressing new stories from across the globe. i'm fear ella's about air defense systems have intercepted a ukrainian touch you missile, and mary, you pull that's according to russian media. citing the cities commands mintz office falling and explosion reported earlier. as fighting continues, the russian defense ministry published a video of paratroopers in combat on the front line. officials say more than 250 ukranian soldiers were killed in the battles near don. yes, russian troops continued a storm, a major ukrainian stronghold on the outskirts of the city are teaching or stuff reports. so right now we are entering the small village of smiling just

outside of the nets. we have to do it at night because it is simply too dangerous to take this road during the day. in fact, the korean forces are so close already. we can see the flashes of their artillery firing towards the russian positions. under the cover of darkness we had towards the troops living quarters on the front line, we wake up to a surreal landscape and the pit to me to desolation and death. while this is marian car and with the 1st rays of sunshine, the extent of the damage dealt to this little village. while it becomes obvious and it is close to a 100 percent, he can see that all around us so far. we haven't seen a single building that comes to even close as to being intact or more or less intact. the fighting continued throughout the night, although it's intensity did die down, did receive a little bit compared to what happens here during the day. while marin county is

also a graveyard for nato made machines and vehicles like this, a p. c, that was supplied to ukraine by house. trailer size is unchanging here, feeble building frames, scaffolding and breaks from torn apart houses to this is the forward, most position of the russian forces inside the village of martin car, basically between us gradient forces. there's only about 3 to 400 me into the soldiers in this particular position. and this machine gun to the left of me is meant to stop any sort of advancement that the riggins might attempt both day and night. basically to give you an idea as to how close quarters the fighting. here is the former building of the local library. his brighten up occupied by both russians

and ukrainians. one sections is under the russian control and the other one is out of ukrainian. and now both sides have drawn reinforcements to duke it out and see who remains. in control of this building, we hear the roar of 2 engines, a few 100 meters away, a russian tank and an infantry facing vehicle. they open fire at a point blank range or slushy seats console. about 2 thirds of the village cave had 8 years to prepare defences here and wasted no time operated by the density of battles as heavy. you credit pulling up reserves and were grinding them down with artillery. the enemy has taken massive losses and a lot of them are refusing to fight. as far as i've heard, there's a crack and national battalion behind them. the enemy is well prepared there,

holding fortified positions. ukraine staunch resistance here is not driven by principle by cold military tactics. losing this seemingly anonymous village means that russian forces will flank keeps other frontline garrisons to the north. but there's no doubt among soldiers here soon. velma john hamish done of reporting from the dumbass r t, where the situation remaining tan, son, the battle ground, ukrainian president vladimir the landscape, took the opportunity to once again proudly post a photo of a ukrainian soldier wearing insignia resembling that used by nazi germany on his social media in a screenshot of the post where the ukrainian leader calls on his citizens to unite . you can see a soldier sporting the hate evoking patch on his shoulder, ironically receiving hundreds of likes within

a matter of hours. it's not the 1st time the lens he has posted photos with similar symbols in another picture which has since been deleted. one of the president's body guards was also seen wearing the same nazi era emblem zalinski has since gone on the defensive, claiming that such narrative actually 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 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? the reality however, seems to be in stark contrast with the president's claims. as waves of radical far right protest swept ukraine since the 2014 might on clue where many thousands of people rally displayed. nazi era symbols. geopolitical analysts, john mark dubin says post with apparent nazi emblems repeatedly appearing on

ukrainian leaders. social media isn't something western media focuses on 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. how could you post something like that, knowing what it is? you know, the western media was talking about this in 20192021. when congress designated the as off battalion as an extremist terrorist organization. but now they are nowhere to be seen because it conflicts with the, the story that the american government wants the people to or know half probably don't know what the symbolism means and the other one is, it's not in their interest to speak about such things. you know, they're not allowed to buy their corporate masters over 31000 people have died in turkey and syria after devastating earthquakes hit the countries the u

. n. fears this number could eventually surpass 50000. the economic repercussions of the earthquake are estimated to be as high as $84000000000.00 inter care. that's as the countries authorities have reportedly targeted dozens of contractors involved in the construction of the many collapse, buildings. criminal investigations have already been launched in some provinces. we hear from those whose lives have been thrown into chaos by the earthquakes. columns of those who have the means are leaving. we are poor. it's true. the government says go live there a month or 2. how can i leave my home? my fields are here. this is my home. how can i leave it behind? inch and that little mill, i lost my brother, my 2 nieces and nephews. my sister in law. little did you see people are looking

for transportation. every one is wandering around our money. our vehicles are all gone, everything has gone little a lot of the can, the got all the whole world, let the syrian people down. if this destruction was in europe or a foreign country, the whole world would have gathered to rescue those killed. we are displaced amid that disaster, many countries around the world have sent aid to turkey and syria, including those with their own struggles to deal with r. t contributor use of july li visits, one of the humanitarian centers in eden. if one is sending another batch of humanitarian aid to turkey to assist the quake ravished country during this dire situation, iran roads crossing says the shipment consists of 55 tons of relief supplies. i don't know, there has been several days that were on alerts in the around red crescent society . it is commenced by developing camps for the quake head zone in turkey. what's happening today's that were loading relief items including blankets,

tense medical and hygiene items were doing the loading by the arrangements with ron's army and the slavic republic of iran air force. and all the relief items and relief forces will be dispatched to the quake head zone and turkey from 4 provinces of the country. one has its own economic woes to worry about due to the enormous number of he was sanctions in the country. it was worth crossing, says suntrust frictions will not stop the country from extending a helping hand to both turkey and syria, apart from its own economic crisis. iran has itself been hit with a powerful earthquake and as northeastern city of hoyt. however, the red cross and says the scope of its activities knows no boundaries with as you know, sending relief items and humanitarian aid has faced severe difficulties because of the sanctions on syria. but given our humanitarian duty, we at a ron's ret, kristen society sent a 10 members specialized team by ron's relief and risk organization. and to ron's

quick response teams to aleppo, syria on the 1st day of the incidence, the organization is also dispatching relief items. it is expected that other countries, whether european or other western take into account the humanitarian aspects more by refraining from sanctions, and instead care more about the injured people and the difficult situation in syria . they should pay more attention to the humanitarian aspects rather than political ones. like iran, lebanon too, has not sat on its hands, despond. scores of its own domestic problems. beirut has played its mark in helping syria and turkey with their relief efforts. this is, while the united nations says some 2000000 people in lebanon are facing food insecurity. not to mention the fact that the country is also targeted by western sanctions. but beirut says it's humanitarian gestures will not be hampered. and they said, the old monkey, humanitarian cooperation knows no boundaries and humanitarian affairs can all be

shackled, well drafted, us sees a rag, it laid down its conditions and its completions, and will lebanon, as a government and a political team are fully aware of the files related to the seas erect, but this will not stand in the way of all efforts in syria, but no matter what jenny billers, which has been under sanctions for more than a decade, is one of the major players in humanitarian operations underway. the affected areas minsk has dispatched and 8 cargo to syria, weighing more than $25.00 tons. but when it comes to relief from the west, it seems that it's all about who is under the rubble. in the early days after the deadly tremor, the us and its eyes kept mom about the catastrophic situation in syria and how their sanctions blocked vital aid from reaching the affected people there. well, when you assess, it is only temporarily suspended. it's crippling sanctions on syria to help the flow of humanitarian aid to which the nation iranian will, if authority,

say that he was his actions are too little. and too late to ron added, there is no time for publicizing the humanitarian situation. and every one must return to help reduce the suffering of those and syria and turkey. use of generally r t t. ron earlier we spoke to a political analyst inter on universe that he said, mohammed mirandi, who says western countries are creating an illusion of carrying about human rights . western countries will pretend that they care. they will blame the syrian government for the misery in syria. they will make excuses for not providing aid in the systems to the syrian people, but i think it's becoming increasingly clear that countries like iran, russia, iraq, lebanon, algeria, among other countries, are sending assistance to syria, contrary to what western governments and western media and western at least like to

say that it is the west that cares about human rights and human dignity. it's really the other way around. it is countries like iran and other countries in the global south that care about human dignity. and we're seeing that in syria. and in turkey, western regimes want to make the syrian people suffer as much as possible. people in the conflict hit gaza have also joined the drive to send help launching a blood donation campaign organized by an end geo and the country's health ministry . the head of the mission says that palestinians share the same blood with syrians and turks and want to show solidarity with those suffering from the devastating earthquakes that do these activity comes by donating blood. despite the meagre capabilities that the gaza strip possess, listen, we hope god willing that these activities will deliver on message, which is that palestinian intricate blood is one. and the same is true for the

student and syrian blood will go a soda machine. elaina on multi protection these a blog donation campaign announced by the hope institute for orphans in solidarity with our people in syria and the victims in searing in turkey. gentlefolk out this tonton, and continues to porterville brothers and syria for children as well. which not for gab the continuous support and assistance from all brothers in tech, kate, we and they are one body. oh wow. just a black stay in palestine. israeli aircraft have launched a serious of air strikes on a legit hamas targets in palestinian territory. ah, the israeli army said the bombing was in response to saturdays rocket launch from gaza into israel. israel claims that the airstrikes targeted an underground rock at manufacturing complex to run by hamas. there were no immediate reports of

casualties. the u. s. military has shot down another, unidentified object flying over canada. that's after a series of usaa tax on mysterious aerial bodies. over the past week, a u. s. air force general says extra terrestrial activity hasn't been excluded. i lead the intel community and the counter intelligence community figure that out. i haven't throw out anything. at this point, we continue to assess every threat or potential threat unknown that approaches north america with an attempt to identify it. the object was tracked over night and then shot down by a us jet on jo biden's orders over canadian territory with 2 other similar bodies taken down over alaska and yukon over the weekend. us officials say the objects did not pose any threat, but are keeping a close eye on the countries airspace in light of the recent incident with

a chinese balloon. china also reported a mysterious objects spotted over the yellow sea. we've heard from former pentagon official, michael maloof, who said officials need to provide answers on the spike in incidence over us guys in recent weeks. it's an increasing problem that we're beginning to, to see more and more of all of a sudden having numerous objects flying in particularly over the the north pole. ready area and it's happening very, very rapidly and they're in and in greater succession. and we'll just see where it's going. but that's, that's one of the major questions right now is, what, what is this all about? this appears to be all very purposeful. we don't know for sure if it's from a country or, or a group, a university commercial,

no idea. i trust that both in states and canada will be forthcoming with the results of what they learn. i think the, the by the administration learned a very bitter lesson last week. meanwhile, the bite in administration has added 6 chinese entities to an export blacklist, claiming that they are linked to china's military modernization efforts and surveillance activities that threaten the u. s. and its allies, that's after chinese officials stated that a balloon recently shot down by washington over suspicions that it was used for surveillance was actually a weather research station. the incident led to a spike in anti chinese rhetoric with several companies getting sanctioned over a legit links to the balloon. the matter of chinese nationals acquiring american agricultural land has been a recent point of tension in the u. s. after officials and grand folks voted to

strike down a chinese companies, proposed corn mil as its land is located close to the u. s. air force space a home to top secret drone technology. the base and south dakota is to host the latest american strategic b $21.00 bomber, one capable of carrying nuclear weapons. archie is caleb martin, has more. it would have been a $700000000.00 investment in the community with over $700.00 jobs directly or indirectly created. the local mayor was all for it, but then the tide shifted. motion carries now mostly. 6 ah, now usually when crowds are chanting usa and america 1st,

they want more american jobs. however, there is an exception. that's when those jobs come from a chinese company to fang usa already owns the land. but the proposal for breaking ground on a new facility for processing corn was voted down. that's after high ranking members of the u. s. air force got involved. now, even though they had no real authority to close the facility, the air force members said that it was a threat to national security because it was roughly 12 miles away from an air force base. the department's view is unambiguous. the proposed project presents a significant threat to national security with both near and long term risks of significant impacts to our operations in the area. now the allegation goes that essentially if a company based in china owns a facility were processing agricultural crops, they may turn it into

a center for spying. and computer hacking the opponents of the base did not exactly explain how this was going to work, but their logic seemed good enough for the locals. this fits a whole pattern of sino phobia. sweeping across the united states that all employees are already banned from using the app known as tick tock on federal government devices. and state governments are following suit into. there is a law proposed preventing chinese citizens from buying any land or even a home for living in. now there are many communities across the united states that are desperate for investment. they want companies to come in and create jobs, increase the tax revenue, get the rust belt rolling again. chinese investment in the united states is not small and it's growing. but it seems pretty clear that there is a section of the u. s. military establishment. that is saying this must stop, much like the weather monitoring device that they label they spy balloon. they are

saying that the inflow of chinese companies to america must be popped before it gets any bigger. ok, with martha r. c, new york. the. the, the of the an orthodox church has decided to delay a plan demonstration following government concessions a mid, a looming internal split. earlier the church accused the government of interfering and its affairs, as well as limiting gatherings. let's discuss this with rti is africa corresponding horrible. it's hot la, good morning, perabo. what more do we know about the current tensions between the orthodox church and the e. c. o. p in authorities? while fiorella doesn't seem like these patients will be quelled anytime soon. no. will they be? and magic wand with regard to that, all of them, all the players in this equation implicated in one way or the other the,

the background to the story of cause is the rebel bishop as it were. that left the orthodox church in a sense that they, they did not follow the doctrine that they were supposed to. and they went ahead and ordained some 20 think bishops in or old me. and that has really bugged, but the fire as it were. and this way we are here now following the demons of these bishops. if your opinion, church itself was not pleased, the rebel bishop claimed that the church is actually discriminating against the people of or on the, in i said, the language itself and the culture is not included in the church. therefore, it's not as diverse or as broad as it can be. and that did not go down well with that. with the fed bishops who are now excommunicated according to the church. and

the church also wanted to demonstrate, not just against the government. what it said was the government impeding on its rights to self determine and to voice peaceful protest which is enshrined in if you can law and constitution. but the government of going even further it characterizes the, the rogue bishops, is it with that as a, as another part of the group with minister with the same that he ones the 2 groups to talk. and the church really took exception to the thing that i know 2 groups and the fed bishops have been excommunicated. and there's only one church in if you and that is that if you appeal orthodox church. but the background, of course, includes prime minister as well, who upon return on we can visit to italy and france, came back rather hastily and organized a security apparatus meeting which included not only his kevin administers,

but also senior figures in the security operative of. if you are really trying to, to find a way to stop the church from protesting because they have been loss of life even though the church intended to have a peaceful protest. some 37 people have already lost their lives in the last week alone. as some of these various protests have been going on, the chase says that is worried about the situation that is happening in order for me. i reason it says that it's been infiltrated by people who masquerading as, as fathers, as people of the clergy. and really they just they just government officials in a sense, they just working for the government and pursuing their agenda and they're trying to reach the church in that state. and that's what they are saying that is that the heart of the very same thing. in fact, biggest buyers to say that the government is characterization which is that the church has been infiltrated by external and internal forces that are driving

a an agenda of if your enemies the statement. and this is what the church is saying, the church thing that that statement by, by the government is really an info for the intelligence of appeals and insults to the church. and that they see themselves still as, as the authority as the higher authority and the, the much itself, you know, as quote off yesterday. but that is not the last that they will hear. this is most likely going to have a new form of life. are to africa correspondent, corolla taught last. thank you problem. those were the top stories this hour and up . next is the mystery of the nord stream to pipelines explosion. solved. now that a veteran investigative journalist exposed the you asked an datas ties to it. the discussion coming up on our teams. crosstalk, thanks for tuning in. we'll see a back next hour.
