representative of the ukrainian general staff saying that no such offensive seems to be under way. they don't have this information. so the jubilant noise of western media seems to have put the ukrainian stay in an awkward position as the main stream us media and its allies around the world was just playing up this, this trial but offensive. but they were going to have now, now if you crane is sell it saying that that's not the case that this, this offensive didn't happen. let's see how things play out militarily. but at the moment, it seems like the, the noise from us media that was intended to celebrate great victories coming up for ukraine. now, it seems to a kind of backfired at the moment. and ukraine is perhaps put in an awkward position while that to civilians, including a pregnant woman, was killed by ukrainian shouting and rushes out of song region. but attack on a flooded evacuation area for rescue civilians also wanted to others adult and best

correspond. steve sweeney has more details. the attack took place on the thursday lunchtime so we can only believe that this was designed for maximum impact, some 23 book. it's written down on the city, atlanta in the marketplace, but also destroying and damaging residential buildings. a cultural policy and a local, a technical school. i'm also having these reports and because on a region where the acting governor that has said that 2 people have been killed, one of them, a pregnant woman internet track on it of occupation, a points. and he described this as a deliberate attack on the innocent civilians that were also having use from the co, the power station that there's been, the premiums have target to the conversation that causing a full risk 5. and of course, this is leading many people to also, when would this nightmare come to an end? and a staying with a nearby, i can help go hydro electric pond to western media,

laughed out very quickly, and russia facing blame for them. destruction directly on most scope of the equipment in dispute of those claims, immediately accusing kia falls. the attack now as flooding intensifies and the territories are western media and being reporting on reactions from ukraine and officials, though badly, even touching upon russia's position. and it's evidence that the key of has been attempting strikes at that time. some offloads suggesting the threat of a nuclear disaster and the europe some biggest nuclear power prod his apology as a potential target. the criticism of the west narrative has surfaced among it a problem. for example, radio talk show host and political ad list of gone to nixon in this tweet. ukrainians were working on blowing up the dam. boom. the dam blows up. wester, media, g. i wonder who blew up the dam must have been the russians. it will that political, i'll push the narrative even further, saying that quote, the world blaine's the russian president for destroying the dime, but no by

a whole sky. but africa base political analyst that jackie schon do, has a slightly different take on that major report of broadcast if one, choosing the basic on cnn or sky news. false one is certain in terms of what they are going to hear, what kind of m o d they going to get and what kind of perspective they're going to get. especially when the train russian conflict is the one that's being discussed and it's been very consistent that has not been a crate of impartiality and we'll get to the t. s the claim chosen aside from the very beginning. and yeah, it's the story and the sticking to it, the rest of the world seems to be very different approach to this conflict. and so that is why know the e u and

u. s. opinion somehow is projected as to opinion united states or not. also thought to how the g 7 members, for example, conceive or for international affairs and, and to look on it cannot be that what it would be you to get over to us say what is then the propagate. it is what the west seats. i mean, i can speak quite confident to, for example, in terms of the way most of africa stands, stands with russian. a couple of american journalists. so it took on the us state department spokesman of his recently comments on rosters and provoked war in ukraine. the online footage, released by grace out and shows the challenge to western mainstream narrative, challenging this notion that the rushes and vision of your crane was completely unprovoked. us and german governments repeatedly promised sylvia present retail

girlhood. gorbachev, that nato would not move one inch eastward. there is no reason uh to make attempts to erase the borders of, of a neighboring country. and that's what we're. so if you think of it, the hand were on the other foot or the glover on the other hand, you know, in mexico was trying to enter, you know, an alliance that historically has a precedence for establishing russian military base is on it. you know, mexico was going to get a russian military base install that, you know, our reaction to that would probably be like no, no way, no way in hell is that gonna fly? um, so it's a, i know it's a hypothetical, but it's a pretty simple one that i think most people can grant. it's certainly the hypothetical and i feel are fairly on confident ground to say that any potential us action in this hypothetical scenario certainly wouldn't involve the infringement on another country's sovereignty in territorial integrity and attempts to erase its foreigners often maps against mexico is a hypothetical. but it's historical fact what happened during the cuban missile

i'm not disputing historical fact about i think what we're talking about is say that it's the. ready ready size of the article and blow the question on the western media, and the officials often call the ukraine conflict to an unprovoked attack by russia really to disregard the fact that most go rates concerns and proposed signing security guarantees. on numerous occasions. russia wanted assurances and response to nathan's broken promises on the whole thing is east with expansion, which has always been one of most goes key concerns and red lines. and i spoke with liam cause grow the grades and reporter who got up there and pushed back against the us official who says the western press and uses the same rhetoric as the governments to simply which push their establishment agenda. and i was mainly focused on, was it provoked by the us that anyway? and i thought, i think interesting, and his response is the 1st half. he says, no, absolutely not. you know, we did not do anything to provoke. but then in the 2nd half, when we bring up the mexico scenario and the cuban missile crisis, he kind of says,

well, you know, if the us was going to respond to mexico, it wouldn't be an invasion. and then he does the same thing later on. this too, but you know what, we didn't invade, but we did respond. but inherent to that response is, is the fact that the us actually did respond to the cuban missile crisis. it wasn't an invasion, but there was a response and that's kind of the definition of provocative. you know, why does it work to me to always sticks to essentially one side of the story we know the forest johnson, whatever a year ago. now scott held the peaceful that were about to happen between kids and most of them. you know, the bbc right now. the bbc is kind of changed as narrative or on ukraine. so every time i present a or a corresponding folks about ukraine, they talked about russia's full scale, military invasion is the 1st 3 or 4 words. they say, every time they talk about this conflict in ukraine, even the pope said a year and a half ago, this was a pro vote conflict. you make an interesting point about the alignment with western media with what western governments, you know, we do have some free press here,

like luckily the one i worked for allows me to. but when you look at new york times washington post, they're almost always in lock step with the us government. and actually one point of optimism that i would point to in regards to that is lately. you've actually seen those outlets kind of criticize ukraine a bit. i don't know if you saw the new york times article about the nazi symbolism that is on the ukranian fighters, which i don't think would be allowed if it wasn't partially sanctioned by the us government. another positive side is the willingness that has, that has also been kind of seeing with leach to the media as well as, you know, some kind of pro us public figures suggesting that, well, you create a, the don't boss, you know, we, we, we should, we, we should be willing to give those up. and it's frustrating to hear that because that was kind of the, that was a deal back in february of 2022. we could have not had the war had we just held referendums in those regions, but it's still, it's still reassuring to hear now that at least the us seems to be willing to put

those. i'm going to go shooting a table, give those up. ukraine doesn't need them. and the people who lived there don't even really want to be part of your brain, according to both sides. to palestinian john less trim on $35.00 who have been injured off to is ready for those mounts at a rate on the palestinian city of ramallah in the west bank. of course it provoked violent flashes of the it has been a very tough morning in ramallah this thursday. media report say that a large group of israeli military came to down on off the capital of the palestinian administration to carry out an army operation of demolishing the house . belonging to someone who israel accused and charged off terrorism. they prizes on the ground spark immediately outrage among the local population,

including young stories. they started throwing stones to these rarely forces with the army and made his new responding with fire in life and robert bullets as well as to your gas. the idea of confirmed as part of the information provided by the palestinian journalist center because saying that one published in fulton journalist was huge by robert bullets to he's had a while he was at the riots between local population and these really are me. he's currently is in a intensive care. i have to say this is a very hot topic, according to rough estimates, in the last 22 years. these really forces killed at least 22 journalist and many others have been wounded and a big concern of human rights groups. both local and international is but no, it has ever been punished for that. and this is why we now hear from local journalists that this case should be taking 2 colt,

including international criminal court. demolition house is a is a come on, is rarely practice when it comes to the perpetrators accused of terrorist and israel has been doing it all across the occupied west bank, claiming it is both as a punishment and a tool of deterrence to potential attackers. this recent times, the idea of said his statement, a residence of some one who was behind the terror attack, interest to him last november, 1 as demolished when tween bloss killed. 2 people hadn't changed her. it's 14 others, at least with all the com on this policy is highly criticized human rights groups. local and international call is a form of collective punishment, claiming it is not federal legal that the families of the attackers are being punished and a suffering. there were several cases here when college student lays appealed to high court of justice in jerusalem, trying to prevent the homes from being demolished beds and most of the cases, days of pills were rejected for the time and of the international commission to

support palestinian rights says israel is deliberately silencing palestinian john list and others who push back on television narratives. and it's so cold heavy handed of pro. or is that something should people do? because unfortunately, after the beginning of the arab israeli conflict, neither is really commanders nor soldiers were held accountable for the crimes committed, including those against journalists, which are protected not only by the general provisions of international and humanitarian law, but also by the 4th geneva convention. the occupying state deliberately attacks journalists to prevent the dissemination of information concerning the lawlessness of the occupation regime. fearing that this may effect international public opinion . israel is doing everything to prevent journalists from covering murders international harm to health attempts to ban coverage of events, confiscation of film equipment, a rest of journalists,

as well as rates on media institutions. it completely ignores the provisions of international law behaving like a rope state. at the same time, israel feels its impunity as the us by every time applying a veto in the u. n. s c deprives the international community of the opportunity to fulfill its obligations with respect to the rights of palestinians and their property. the protests in australia and co have devolved into violence as police deployed to a gas and water candidate as bus one. essentially what anti government demonstrations. oh wow. yeah. thousands of people ended up gathering in a suburb of the major city of colombo to protest against current government policies. so perhaps more importantly, that a tripling inflation. a student organization, the cold for the riley also demanded the immediate release of to detain the student council. then india has confirmed that ukraine's

presidents lensky has not been invited to the upcoming g 20 summit and ultimately ending speculation about whether or not he would. we kind of look at the scoop on this, his, off the india correspondence runjun shock. firstly, there shouldn't have been any speculations about valencia coming for the g. 20 summit in september and new delhi in depth, and very, very clear from the beginning. ukraine is not invited. no, a you create is not a member of the g. 20 bill can be when india took over the g 20 presidency last year. it's $10000.00 bites to guest countries including bangladesh, mom, nigeria, egypt, and ukraine was not a part of it despised that. when in april this year, the 1st deputy foreign minister of lie, you create a scheme to new data ukraine. odds new that need to invite the lens key for the g 20 summit. the india did what it had to do. in our opinion. the g. 20 summit is

attended by the g 20 members states and the countries and organizations that we invited. we announced the list of invitees immediately after we took over the g 20 chairmanship that we've been deal for the set up as j. sean co setting the record slid along. there have been problems for india was reading the run off to the final g 20 summit. 3 months ago when the g 20 for minnesota me took place in new delhi. they couldn't come up with a joint statement. it was surgery that rove was such that he's was less emotional. our approach to was ukraine, that prevented from the foreign ministers needs and strong being the success also in the it was a disappointed, you know, it is not in, does you political emissions in that sense? stuff, but as far as moscow, i knew that the i can soon remember from, from february last year to now, india is importing

a new order or from law school decides west and specials. and the relationship between new deleon law school is on detroit. india is caused with russia have remain steady. we didn't let the green issue affect our ties with russia. the leaderships of both india and russia understand the importance of steady india, russian relations for stability and you raise. so in september when heads of states will come to new delhi for the final just.
