shut down by the ukrainian forces during the fighting for the city of buck mood. when the pilots realised that while they were doomed, they directed the burning machine towards the enemy, towards their military column dying heroically themselves and well taking a bunch of foes with them. ukraine had already returned with honors the bodies of the pilots. the jets debris though, could only be retrieved. now, as the wagner group is closing in on our chops, were norman for more than one 3rd, this is flight 48. the guys have fuel to fulfill their desk. having cries to blame the enemy, territory rowing their military convoy, it's now time to commemorate what they have done in that charm of score back moot, it's wagner. verse is the entirety of ukraine's military might. no man knows the situation on the ground better than the groups chieftain preggers in. look, our friends above them asked by mood one, why is it important?
9:13 am
it's lead to paralyze the korean army and it's already paralyzed. the enemy is deploying reserve troops, but were advancing in different directions every day, some where it's 50 meters and somewhere it's 100. we're fighting for each house for each square meter. there is a 40 fight area in every yard. that's the majority. then we see another familiar face. a fighter who start in was believed to be a ukrainian propaganda video. the footage purported to show him being brutally executed, bludgeon to death. alive well and back in the ranks. he himself debunked the fake. when i was captured, they beat me. i was tortured and pressed into saying what they wanted me to say. i got many threats. they threatened to kill me and dismember my body. caused the footage on line from my family to see were through the loo. oh yes,

the dorm bus r t. i am moving on now the f. b, i has opened an investigation into 2 inmate deaths in a texas jail that comes amid allegations from a former jail employee who says that those in custody were in fact mistreated. i've literally witness correctional staff miss st. detainees, because they were in need of insulin for diabetes or other medical issues. now there have been for prison or death since the starts of the year in harris county jail alone. while over the states of arkansas, the family of immensely ill mates who starved to death, that while in custody, i found a lawsuit against the county or t correspondence killing moping has more. the details of the lawsuit are not for the squeamish. we have a mentally ill, disabled homeless man who is arrested for pointing his finger that police officers
9:16 am
. he can't afford to pay $100.00 to get out of jail. so he's held awaiting trial during that time and he's put in solitary confinement and he eventually dies from malnutrition. as larry eugene prize was dying, and even after he was dead, reports filed by prison authorities said he was fine. offices document to 1000 off such checks and mom's weak stays in our legion up to the mister price, his staff using the same boiler, played phrase each time a made him sell. okay. they use this phrase when the obviously mal nourished mister price lay dying in the pool of contaminated standing water. they consented to use this phrase even after he was discovered unresponsive while he was being transported to the hospital. and during his time in the emergency room. shockingly, they made at least town additional entries inmate han solo k of the miss surprises pronounced. that while this is evidence of their deliberate indifference, it is also a tell tale sign of glaring his stomach deficiencies. it appears that what happened
9:17 am
is they just threw him into a cell all by himself and ignored him. they did not bother to check and see whether he was eating or drinking. as a result, the disabled man rotted away. the lawsuit alleges criminal neglect prices, medications had been cut off, making his mental illness much worse. it appears pretty clearly that the staff were not checking in on him or else falsifying their reports and saying everything was fine as he was wasting away. when larry price was 1st locked up, his weight was about $185.00 pounds. at the time that he died, he weighed only 90 pounds. he'd lost roughly half of his body mass. no one was fired or even disciplined after the death of larry eugene price. his gruesome dad was considered to be just another day at the sebastian county criminal detention center in arkansas. family is now suing for what they say is
9:18 am
a pretty obvious case of wrongful death and criminal neglect. now what started all of this anyway? larry price was a disabled homeless man who suffered from hallucinations. he walked by this police station pretty frequently, often speaking incoherently. on one particular day seemed rather fired up in angry . he pointed his fingers like a gun, the police arrested him charging him with making a terrorist threat. now this is a crime, the mental health experts say this highly disabled man was not even capable of committing us media is. busy filled with unverified allegations about violations of human rights and the mis treatment of prisoners and other countries. but the details that have emerged about the heretic gruesome way that larry eugene price died. forces us to ask whether u. s. media and us officials are really being genuine and their concerns about other countries when this kind of thing is happening right here in the united
9:19 am
states. a live martin. archie, new york. well, we spoke to paul writes found of the prison legal news project to says the man symptoms were obvious, but the negligence is common in us prisons. he was seriously mentally ill. he suffered from elusive nations. he suffer from outbursts, and these are things that these are symptoms of such serious mental illness. that one does not have a psychiatrist or a medical doctor to know that the symptoms are so serious that the person requires immediate, serious and immediate medical, psychiatric intervention. and unfortunately, this is very common. there's as a journalist for prison, legal news we report many cases every year were prisoners, the united states. they are start to doubt the dive hypothermia. they dive heat exposure in very basic causes of death that are, you know,
9:20 am
easily alleviated and should not even be occurring at all. and if you plead and total failure by the prisons and jails that hold people, and mr. price's case, he started out over a more than one year period and it's critical to note that even as he starved to death, even as he wasted away before the eyes of his captors, they were checking on him every day and claiming and filling out reports, saying that he was fine, even as he died in front of them. and finally, human rights watch has accused the u. s. on the u. k. of committing colonial crimes against humanity on the gulf islands in the last century and says it's regrets the tragedies but rejects the organizations characterization of events you case today committee napoleon, colonial crime treat and all she go sans as a people without rights the u. k. and the u. s. who together expelled that she go
9:21 am
sans from their homes should provide full reparations for the harm they have cost we respect the work human rights watch is around the world. but we categorically reject this characterization of events. on wednesday, human rights watch issued a report monday, reparations for the people of the che, got islands from the u. k. on the us. more than 1000 sugar options were forced by the british government to leave the land in the 1900. 67 is to make room for building a u. s. base, which was called diego garcia. the indigenous population was forced to malicious, on the se, shelf facing object to poverty and having every since being fighting to return home . well, to discuss the issue where now joined life, i live in band cooper, the leader of the che, got a few days group which is based in maricia. thanks for joining us today, livia. first of all, i just like to get your, your thoughts on this report by cuban wright watch human vice watch on wednesday. do you think it's a step in the right direction for

a power report which they really gladly done by you and i watch to show really all wrong that has been done by you and us and what will be covered in years? what used to be done and do correct on their own will be now the k has disagree with the human rights watch. has characterization of events. do you think the britain will pay, pay reparations or withdraw from those islands. as a result of this report, you know, we know sure, we know that you now are a legal nigel graham as ations i tired you and i the watch was the word about that

9:27 am
poorest nations as was initially planned to contribute to rachel, boston has more. remember, all the talk about how critical it was to get ukrainian grain shipped out of ukraine to feed the hungry in africa and asia. well, according to the latest real time data published by the united nations black sea green initiative, joint coordination center, the top 3 destinations for ukrainian grain are china, spain, and turkey. and those 3 countries alone represent 46 percent of all exports. so we're talking, all exports being roughly $700.00 plus shipments of grain. china acts as the gateway to asia and turkey acts as the gateway to africa. but what's the deal with spain? spain domestically produces more than enough of the grain that it needs to feed its own people with grain for people, accounting for just about
9:28 am
a quarter of all the countries domestic consumption, the rest of the grade that the country produces goes to feed its livestock. and notably, pigs, spain is routinely ranked as one of the top, if not the top port producing country in the entire world. which means that with all this grain being imported into spain, from ukraine, now it's hard to escape the conclusion that the countries literally picking out on ukrainian grain. and it's not like this is about making sure that cute little pigs roaming freely around the spanish countryside. don't go hungry, it's not about taking the food out of their mouths. more grain just basically means that more pigs can be churned out for poor to the economic benefit of madrid and ultimately to the european economy. which of course is great for europe. but what exactly was growing spain's pork industry used as a reason to unblocked ukrainian grain?
9:29 am
last month, spain was able to increase its meat exports by 79 percent overall. and that's in part due to its ability to meet china's demands, to sell a 124 percent more spanish port to beijing compared to the same period last year. again. wonderful for the spanish economy, but not exactly following the spirit or the letter of the deal to unblocked ukrainian grain to feed. the poor. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly raised the issue of food from ukraine being misdirected. but i did give you a hearing over was you moved to crane and almost sole grain exported from ukraine is south nato, the developing and poorest countries. but the european union states on the 2 ships out of $87.00 below that has paul to you out of the world food program. i'd like to say that just like many repeat countries from a previous decade and sensory sector does colonize us. so they continue to do today
9:30 am
to fuel. so just how much ukrainian grain is getting to the countries that need it most? well collectively they're getting about 15 percent of the total export volume, which works out to roughly one percent each. but guess he's proud of those efforts, spain. here's the status we're minister patting himself and ukrainian authorities on the back last fall for their humanitarian initiative. green from ukraine. spain joins ukraine and the rest of its allies in this program, which is an honor and immortal testament to ukraine's commitment against hunger in the world, even as it fights against russia's aggression and its indiscriminate shelling of export logistics infrastructure, which endangers millions of people who depend on ukrainian products, but hey, if hungry nations are getting a short changed on the grain, maybe they're at least getting some of the pork from spain after the pigs are done . stuffing their faces with it. apparently not. china is the top importer.
