And theyre trying to bad me from politics because theres a case of condemned to get a street call and speak exclusively to r t. And the aftermath of the former pakistani Prime Minister being charged with threatening current government officials, much to the anger of his support. A very well welcome. Youre watching the weekly on, on the international bringing you the latest world news updates along with around the stories the shapes the past 7 days. Its good to have you with us. And we thought with the latest from dumbass where to civilians have been wounded in the ukrainian shelling of a hospital in don, yet city thats according to local officials. Fresh potatoes from the same shows that shattered window underneath one impact crater in front of the building. And nearby car was also heavily damaged by the bombing, although no people were inside the vehicle at the time. The latest ukrainian attack comes as don. Yes, residents are celebrating that annual city day. And then a separate incidence. Local Officials Say another round of ukrainian show and get killed. A woman in the city of love come to the north of dawn. Yeske, like he has troops have stepped up that bombardment of a Chemical Plant nearby villages are being increasingly caught in the crossfire with some people that are getting cut off from electricity may want in the southern ukraine, the city of nevada, taco, which is under russian control was showered by the ukrainian army. No can officially say 20 rockets were fine with some of them hitting the city center and the local hydro electric ponds, russia se, if the shelling of the facility could lead to disastrous consequences, it provides water to the neighboring Nuclear Power plant. Gillian, now one of the residential areas where violence has intensified is the contested village websites of which is particularly partially held by ukrainian trips who were selling the washing control part of the village. Despite the ongoing college, some locals have refused to leave their homes as long consumer reports, the village of ha, zeisler is still partially under control of ukrainian nationalist forces. Over the last 8 years, her residence here have been divided. One part of the village was under ukrainian control and the other one was under control that the next peoples republic. And that means that people here have been suffering under constant shelling for the last 8 years and it only intensified over the last 6 months. And that, of course, also means that basic necessities here have very scarce. So we brought some humanitarian aids to make their lives just a little bit easier. Right now were heading. How long with the head of the sites of our let this love, he will show us the latest consequences of ukraine and shelly, however, hes been here for the last hate years and, and does not plan to leave the station at santa fe for this is the city center there have never been military positions here. All of our infrastructure is located here, all that is left and the ukrainians are trying to destroy through the with the area where the Administration Building is located here in a zide summer. Is that right in the, at the center of the shilling . Now these are just, some of the fragments of the shells thats ordered on peaceful civilians. Zeiss was still has a population. However, the place where we are located is now completely deserted. Now were still Walking Around the sides of our but so we cant find any people at all. But so while were walking, we have to do it very, very carefully, because there are still hundreds and hundreds of metal mines, anti personnel, so called butterfly mines, designed, if not to kill, but to mame a person for life. So tom put into it every day. Theyre a shelling, tavia, i have a granddaughter. Im happy that i managed to send her away from here before everything started 6 months ago. She could have been killed here. For example, my husband was in the bedroom when the shelling started, his name was to the windows were blown out, and fragments of glass flew at him. Oh, its unbearable to live here. So it love you. Im so tired. The shelling has been going on for 9 years already. We have neither our children nor grandchildren come to see us because they feel threatened to ease. Its even hard to go out into the garden. There are bullets everywhere though. Every thing explodes. The roof of our house roof is in fragments, 14 residence halls, zide silver were killed by ukrainian nation is forces since the beginning of the conflict back in 201431. People were wounded. And unfortunately, the number of casualties may grow. Just like the number of 4 houses schools, kindergarten is destroyed. Now this is just one of those kindergartens. It was freshly built back in the year 2020 but so far it still cannot open its doors due to conference shelling room on call, sir. Of archie dun asked peoples republic across the in 8th, the asia, china is on high alert on warrington. Its ready to repel any provocations in the taiwan straits. Of the 2 u. S. Warships passed through niche for waters there. Earlier on sunday, washington claims his vessels conducted a routine transit in accordance with International Law, the u. S. Sais, the move demonstrates its commitment to a free and open endo pacific region. China responded immediately by saying, get tracked, c u. S. Ships as they made their way through the strait while the Chinese Military is poised to respond to any additional incidents with the 1st such case of American Naval activity in the disputed area in the wake of a controversial visit to taiwan by u. S. How speak and nancy pelosi, early this month. Bating still considers tiwana, pasa china, and responded to policies. Trip with a series of military exercises around the island. Heres a reminder of how the situation unfold. It. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan. Visiting taiwan is in taiwan. Why is she assisting that . She may well go to taiwan. It would be a serious violation of the one china principal and a grave infringement on chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity. Those who play with fire will come to no good end. Oh, think we are at an unpredictable moment. Chinese military assembling at 6 different locations around the island us china relations are on shaky ground. Seems to me your main goal was to stir up trouble. Thanks for bringing more problems to the world. America stands with taiwan. Beijing announced it will impose on specifying sanctions jonna will stop cooperation with us on several prominent issues a period of measures are being directed at the United States. Now the u. S. As acting treacherously on the taiwan issue, victor, guy, Vice President of the center for china and globalization says that by sailing the worships near taiwanda u. S. Shows is disregard of chinas jurisdiction in the region. The International Law of the sea is governing behaviors like the passage rule, the power was straight, it is open for navigation by civilian as well as naval ships, probably need to be subject to the jurisdiction of china. That simple, i seen the United States is misleading. The world, by sailing through the taiwan street as if for example, the r abided by the passage, by telling the whole world that they are not abided by the innocent passage. They want to do this as a demonstration to china and tell the whole world that it is regarding those jurisdiction in the taiwan street. What the United States is doing ever since nancy pelosi is illicit, busy to tie one is a series of provocations. Their aim is simple, they want to come out taiwan from china. This is in violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. And they will never succeed news from north africa now where at least 32 people have been killed under a 159 wounded in clashes in libby as capital, according to the countries health ministry. This is the aftermath of the fighting that broke out on saturday and the libyan capital tripoli, rival militia groups, exchanged heavy gunfire with local media. St. Classes were initiated by one of the capitals strongest on factions. There were new to violence comes as rival forces continue to live for power conflicts has we ignited due to a standoff between 2 rival governments, the impacts triplett base government of National Unity and the rival administration supported by the parliament in libby as eastern city of topic besides playing each other for the clashes, the country has not had a stable government since im a good good off. It was toppled and killed by nature french rebels in 2011 Lebanese University professor jamal. What came phase. The western meddling has made the life of libya and much worse. Believe that the nato has destroy livia, under the pretext operating change under the pretext of imposing a gemini, human rights and all this western formula to justify intervention and countries that are local criticism again. But during his rule, the resources of the libyan people of libya were in the hands of the people. Now we see that the people are all these rights and all these advantages to the favor of militia, that support my buddies, the dental and national pose. I believe that the west on the part of the problem, they were the ones to get trouble in libya and then they werent the ones who can i can remember an agenda all dividing libya into buddies plus in order to reduce the resources the way the less does with the resources of non western countries, the use foreign policy, cheese, se, europe is facing major challenges due to a deepening energy crisis. But use a burrell, insists that is the price your pains must be willing to pay for freedom. We are facing major challenges in the short term. There is no denying that the price of gas is rising, but we must be willing to pay a price for freedom. After all, the war in ukraine is not just a war for ukrainians, but a war for our freedom. You are paying electricity prices sold to new records on friday. The year had contracts for germany, electricity reached 995 years per megawatt hours, while the french equivalent surge past 1100. 00 euro and more than 10 fold increase in both countries from last year. You repeat media out raising fresh concerns about the energy crisis, the latest addition of french magazine, surely dont say president mac wrong collecting firewood, or saying 1st come 1st serve. Well, britains the mirror has called on u. K. Need is to finally do something about the rising prices with a newspaper suggesting that some portions will freeze to death this coming winter. When he germans are all impressed with the bills either and say they simply cannot afford further rising prices. And Energy Prices are, of course, gigantic. And there is no question that they are a terrible burden for consumers throughout europe. If i have no understanding why Energy Companies make such improbable profits and the consumers have to pay for it on the entire shouldnt, were just students. And you can already tell that there is somehow less money left in your wallet. At the end of the month, of course, it is a bit of a worry for consumers, Energy Savings also have their limits. At that point, politicians have to intervene by lowering the taxes. If you questions and our costs of living have risen in our household, but there are many ways you can save energy. For example, instead of heating your entire house to 20 degrees, you can shut the door and keep other rooms where you are not spending much time, a bit cooler. And also now, meanwhile, hungary for a minute to save your pain, stay thought under the influence of quote, the liberal mainstream. And thats why they are imposing sanctions on russian energy. Hungary does not want to negotiate any energy sanctions, either in relation to oil or natural gas. And i want to say that we are not alone in this. It may seem that there is political courage and political stability, but not everyone shares these qualities. There is such incredible pressure from the liberal mainstream on those who tell the truth, that if there is not a certain level of political stability, the country will not be able to act independently. Thats what slash alex on to mckay political analyst on the editor of red star radio. Many thanks for joining us on the program. Its nice to see, you know, its interesting, isnt it, but it was a b, e u that imposed sanctions on russia in the 1st place as i was the playing. Why does the book play moscow for the Current Energy crisis, almost as if they had no choice in the matter . Because theyre trying to escape the consequences of a disastrous policy failure. They instituted the sanctions really at the behest of the white house, the biden administration. And the mistaken belief that it would lead to a rapid collapse in the russian economy. And the exact opposite has happened. The russian economy is not only state afloat but corporate profits in russia going up there making an awful lot of money off energy and gas exports. Theyve more than made up for the loss of business in europe with sales to china, india and other places in the world. And the european policy of supporting the u. S. Lead sanctions regime him, his thought in themselves for this not only catastrophic failure, but the huge hits on the populations living stand is going to occur in the winter paper course here. This is running out patients now want they need those advising people upon a king. They cant afford to pay the bills. What will your appeal need to do . Will the functions be lifted . Not in the immediate future because they cannot lift the sanctions without standing up to the americans. And they cannot stand up to the americans because the key to key players in the you, france and germany a much weaker than they were back in the early, 2, thousands in 2003. When they stood up to the Bush Administration and oppose the invasion of iraq. Now, even though this made this war in ukraine, it made no sense for the germans and the french to support it from the perspective of European Security and prosperity. But they went along with it due to political weakness. Now they cant get out of it. And they are probably looking for a way out. But that involves them. Again, like be having to take and possible choices they will carry on with this policy until one of 2 things happen. Either there is a change in policy in america, which doesnt look likely. All they are left in a position where due to domestic resistance, popular protest and unrest this winter, they are forced to change policy and may be forced to change governments. So either way, they, in a situation where it is going to be a tremendously difficult thing to get out of this mess that they have created for themselves. But they will only change if the populations forced them to change. Or if washington decides that they had enough of ukraine war and will allow ukraine to negotiate in good faith with moscow and so far, the latter doesnt look like its going to happen, not washington wants this war to continue for its own reasons. And europe is the sacrifice they are willing to make. The next few months, the, the situation people in europe is less faith. Its going to go from bad to worse. So lets talk about what measures can be considered to alleviate the situation. Well im in british terms, theres already been a support package put in place by the government earlier this year. When bills were already skyrocketing. They 2 candidates, the leadership, the conservative party here, richie soon act, perform a chancellor and los truss. The foreign secretary about talking about additional packages, but also keep talking about the need to sacrifice or shared sacrifice for the cause of ukraine, which i can tell you right now is not going down very well inside britain. Now in terms of what they can do, theyre going to try subsidized bills more. Thats for certain lease trust is talking about maybe cutting b a t o energy. But thats not going to be enough. The problem that weve got in britain and the germans have got the french slightly less so due to the Nuclear Power facilities is that we have not invested in our Energy Infrastructure and our Energy Supply the so many decades. Weve been buying it in from elsewhere. And now this is revealed, the weakness of that policy. The government says theyre going to build more Nuclear Power stations. Thats going to take it. They say that they are going to invest more renewables. Well, renewables dont provide anything like the amounts of energy needed for a country. The size of britain never mind. One the size of germany with all its industrial capacity. So in the short term, other than bailing out consumers and in carrying more government debt. And there are the, on the solution really is ending the war and ukraine via negotiated settlement and ending the sanctions regime because of them that they were looking at medium to Long Term Solutions that involve building up british european Energy Supply capacity and being able to provide our own energy again, which had not done for many, many years and which governments have shown themselves unwilling and unable to do so. The only short Term Solution is to get to negotiate into this war on an end to the sanctions regime. I come back to the comments made by us and thorough only he said the conflict in ukraine is a war for european freight and not just ukrainian freedom. Was talking about their freedom for whom. Why freedom for men like him . Its not freedom for the average german or average britain or frenchman who come he to his home this winter. Hes talking really about the credibility of nato, the credibility of the you and ultimately the credibility of the United States. This is not about freedom for the average citizen of any european nation, as i believe. You know, the Hungarian Foreign ministers come and she played ellia, indicated that some in europe regard dont share mr. Burrell opinion either or a johnson is called the shared sacrifice. But everybody in britain who has the capacity to think knows that far as johnson will not be part of that sacrifice. Mister morale, and mister johnson, calling upon the ordinary people of europe to sacrifice for the g or their own safety and security. This winter. For the geopolitical aims of the United States. That is what there is these really being called for her oldest talk of freedom and values. It means precisely nothing. It is about a attempt by the United States to preserve its a gemini over europe. And that is why they keep pursuing this proxy war. Ready and ukraine with the russians. And until people are ready to go out and protest and force the politicians to behave differently, theyre going to keep using this excuse and hiding behind lofty rhetoric of freedom and democracy when really this is an ugly. Ready game of power politics in which the european working and middle class populations are the sacrifice that the politicians in europe are willing to make for the benefits of preserving now relationship with the americans. Really great to hearing your thoughts on things today. Alexander mackay political analyst on the editor of red star radio, thank you. Thank you. The west, the expects, the problems are going to be our problems, but that will not happen as well. Form of pakistan Prime Minister in run con, told my colleague, you to know neil doing an exclusive interview this week. The wide ranging discussion came shortly after his alarm about court extended con, failed, following terrorism charges against him. They have made this into terrorism. Guess the ban my life coverage on, on, on, on screen and, and theyre trying to ban me from politics because theres a case of contempt against me since i left office 4 months back. Never has there been such a public response for, for any political body as it is for my body today . The government is panicking. They out there watching us grow in popularity. We. We swept the by elections and the biggest province in punjab. There with the other 2 bi election which was swept. So there, but scared and thats why theyre clumping down. If we go back mister cam too, when you are iced it from power in the spring time, youve mentioned several times that certain documents exist that confirm foreign interference in your removal from power. Are you in any position to tell us what those documents may be . Well, the, the sofa and the conversation between the biggest and best and washington, and the under secretary of state of the you of the us. Theres a conversation between them where he threatens up august sunny and besta that unless i am wrong hahn was removed as a Prime Minister in a no confidence emotion that but that still wasnt table as yet that there would be consequences for august on the biggest problem is that western countries expect their problems to become problems . Some background in a paulina confidence vote when moved iran constant, the countrys top political position on the x p. M. Has been holding large rallies regularly ever since early this month. As chief of staff was arrested on charges of sedition. Mister collins shop as gould was tortured by police and custody, something officials deny it was that accusation and words used in a Campaign Rally to quote take action against the police chief and the judge which led to the terrorism charges. The former crooked star has an immunity from arrest until his next High Court Hearing on august 31st more now from the nation that still suffering the consequences of western intervention or special coverage on afghanistan continues as we entered the final stage mocking one year since natos cale to withdraw . Ah, today monks one year since britain brought his disastrous 20 year presence in afghanistan to a close, leaving many of those it employed and has now promised it will relocate behind. Oh, oh oh. Oh, lou, let me know one of my hands. I go over a situation. It say, wait, wait, wait, how long with a situation as possible. Mm. We will do everything. We tend to ensure that those people get the same package that they decide what are message to those women and men is clear. There is a home for you in the United States. If you so choose, we will stand with you, just as you stood with her a withdrawal and remember this one is the donkey state and natos history with critic, saying british and american all 30 to complete failure to understand the situation on the ground. His ortiz donald quarter with a colossal failure by the worlds most formidable military power. One year ago, joe biden pulled the plug on the u. S. His 20 year long, military occupation of afghanistan, i concluded, as timed it and americas longest war. Its time for american troops to come home. The troops began to pack their bags. There was no need to rush after all Us Intelligence had no doubts. There was time to spare. The bull could come under pressure from the taliban in as little as 30 days. And full to the Extremist Group within 90 days. But as the taliban advance showed no sign of abating washington began to realize it had not 90, not 30, but only a handful of days before the taliban would be at the capitals gates. On august 15th kabul became the seat of power for these la mc emerett of afghanistan. Ah, before they knew it, the americans were forced into the awkward position of having to cooperate with their decades old enemies to bring their people home. And this time, they had reason not to drag their feet 1st on evacuation. We agreed that we will continue to close our close cooperation to get people out as efficiently and safely as possible. We are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st millions of dollars of military equipment left behind collaborators abandoned into the hands of the taliban. Those 90 days were a figment of the imagination of a u. S. Intelligence. And because of their critical mistake, u. S. Troops, chaotically fled with their tails between their legs. Ah, it lets not forget the subordinates of this Us Led Coalition also reeled from the defeat. The International Withdrawal from afghanistan has been a disaster in terms of planning, execution, and consequences for the United Kingdom slider interests. Even if the exact point at which the taliban ascendancy became inevitable could not have been predicted with certainty, the special committee believes that greater prudence, and therefore, a more proactive approach was warranty. In response to your scanning stance clearly wasted in trajectory. For washingtons closest ally, the u. K. The political fallout was devastating. Senior members of his party criticize both the decision to withdraw and the governments response to the rapid takeover of afghanistan by the taliban ministers have acknowledged being taken by surprise. And johnson and his foreign secretary dominic rob were forced to cut short their vacations to return to london as the Afghan Capital cobble was taken. Johnstons predecessor, teresa may suggested the Prime Minister had hoped on a wing and a prayer and be all right on the night in afghanistan and warned the u. K. Now faces and increased Terror Threat due to the taliban and things were no better for the administration at the forefront of it all. The survey conducted before the u. S. Military puller was completed also finds that
