and a dozen wounded on tuesday. also, i had for you in the program. is it another, attend by the west to rewrite history as a lack of you know, authority to rescue 14 people protesting against the demolition of a revered monument of soviet soldiers who liberated the baltic states from nazi forces during world war 2. with a very good morning to you from the entire news team here at r t international just after 4 am here on the russian cap. so the west deliberately conceals kiev, shelling of those epilepsy, nuclear power plant, making russia a scapegoat for everything. that is a statement made by russia's envoy to the un security council meeting on tuesday discussing the tier rating situation at the plant which has been attacked in recent days. russia is a representative reiterated that moscow does not use the facility for any military purposes. most u. n. m, i think us listen to start today. we again heard the old broken record, rushes to blame for everything. the real background of the events around this approach in a nuclear power plant is shamelessly hushed up. obvious facts or hinder denied. all this is done with one single purpose to whitewash their key of commanders, no matter what they do. they have carte blanche for the most unreasonable actions in the knowledge that they can be justified by their patron. in any case, contrary to the false claims of the key of regime and his curators, russia does not deploy heavy weapons on the territory of the nuclear power plant and does not use the station for military purposes. the russian defense ministry is ready to provide the international atomic energy agency with high resolution images which show that weapons, especially heavy ones, are not located on the territory of the plant of 30. all right, straight to new york. we go crossing live to want is caleb mop and now caleb, good to see you. but can you just run down some of the main points that were made by rushers envoy at the un security council meeting? sure. the representative of russia highlighted that it has been 2 weeks since the last un security council meeting to discuss this issue and things have only deteriorate it. he went over the number of attacks on the nuclear facility and weapons. they were done with almost all of them, with american made weapons. now it's important to note that at this point, russia says they have provided evidence to show that russia is in no way using the nuclear facility for any military purpose. and they provided evidence to show this, and this seems to be ignored by western voices and others. now it's pretty clear that our western leaders simply do not care about ukrainian lives because even a minor incident at the nuclear power plants could have catastrophic results for civilians are very important to talk about that now. then via when he spoke, he took aim at the secretary general and his lack of action around this issue. here's what he said. listen to. we've heard the words that the electricity of this approach in a nuclear power plant belongs to ukraine. but we would like to draw attention to the fact that we have not heard such words from the secretariat regarding russian financial assets frozen in the west, or syrian oil, which has been plundered by the american authorities. we've never heard of that. now at this point, we also heard from western representatives leaders in the united states and others . and they say that if something does happen at the power plant, they will blame it on russia and russia will be responsible if anything continues to happen. regardless, they will blame it on russia. here's what was said. why on earth is a new killer facility being used as a staging ground for war by russian forces. these questions can only be answered by president to putin. and could have been answered by members of the russian delegation. who said here today, only they can explain why russia thinks it can redraw international borders by force in contravention of the you in charter. while the fact is that russia is not shelling the power plant, the shelling is being done by western backs forces from here. and it's important to also notice that when the un meeting took place, we heard brazil. we heard china and india calling for the un and the international atomic energy to an agency actually to inspect the facility, which apparently they planned to do. there will be delegation sent to the facility to investigate the situation 1st hand up close. now, the russian representative also spoke before the security council, and when he spoke, he spoke about the assassination, the killing of daria do going to the daughter of prominent russian philosopher, alexander, do get. this was carried out by car bomb on saturday. and he pointed out that at this point, russia security services have determined that it appears the primary suspect is the ukrainian woman, natalia buck. and she is the suspected assassin to carry out the car bombing. the target is fascination of this prominent russian philosopher and killed the daughter daria do gonna. so that was raised before the un security council. russian made a lot of important points about the nuclear facility and its protection about the continued crisis and the continued us arming of extremists forces and others in ukraine and prolong of this war. how it seems like us leaders simply just do not care about ukrainian lives. those were the points made by the russian representative at the meeting of the un security council. now, caleb, thank you. know it's kind of we're saying earlier rushers for minutes or so. okay. laugh off, strongly condemn the killing of diarrhea. do gonna saying that those behind the journalists, murder will be shown. no mercy. mr. i believe this is a bomb, barry, crime for which there's no forgiveness. i have the investigation, we completed soon and the f. s. b is already established the facts, according to the results, the investigation that can be no mercy for the organizes. the contract is of the killing and the assassins reduce booster hundreds of people attended a memorial service to pay that final respects to the area to gonna who has been post the mostly awarded by vladimir putin, the order of courage. a people recalled memories of the slain john list who was killed in a combo, ming on saturday night. now her father, an exalted doogan, right there in the back of a shot, a philosopher who had been speaking at an event that daria was attending just a full, her death. remembered his daughter as a beacon of light, fighting for the truth, not his donald quarter referrals were here at the funeral of daria do. gonna a journalist and political analyst who was tragically killed in a terrorist attack here in moscow, russia, it's been an extremely emotional event with hundreds of people, her friends and family showing up in tears to pay their respects. we also heard from her father, alexander doogan, who said a few words mainly focusing on her bright character and her deep love for her homeland and based on what we heard from other people who were here dar. his death was a great loss for many others as well. what did you believe? she had no fear if bus no last conversation, she told me that i feel like a hero and a warrior, and i don't want to any other fate. i want to be with my people to stick with my country. i want to be on the side of the light, which for mother and i advised her to become a philosopher. and she did. she tried to move in that direction. she died for the people for russia. she lived in the name of victory and died in the name of the the biggest prize she had to pay can only be justified by victory. our victory latimer putin post humorously bestowed the russian order of courage upon daria, saying that the terrorist attack that took her life was a cruel and heinous crime. he also said that daria had a true russian heart and was a true patriot. just a day before the funeral, russia security bureau released the conclusions of its investigation, which determined that ukraine security services carried out the attack. we also heard from a representative of one of russia's major political parties who laid the blame on the scourge of fascism federalists. that will do daria fault for the future of russia for the future of humanity. she fought against fascism as our fathers and grandfathers said, the fascist must be destroyed and needs let go low. here in the contract of the killing is located overseas. they will definitely stun before the course of the international tribunal. they will be given a legal verdict. so in the course of history is already been held. one of the most shocking aspects of the f s b's report was that the suspected assailant apparently used her 12 year old daughter to actually carry out this attack. and according to the ambassador of the daniel people's republic, this would not be the 1st time the key of has used children to carry out criminal acts, doesn't seem charleston bushed. daria visited a dpr very open and even more open to class day though she was among the 1st to be mario called in as a style of spreading the truth that he's so skillfully and persistently hidden that he didn't spare herself, but realized the huge risk she was there with us in order to spread the truth around the world. and for this truth that he was killed, the nazi ukrainian regime was nursed by the fact that daria was there at as of styles williams. and she was a journalist that was the thank that we have a different opinion to school. the fact that we are not like the nazi kia for shame or the fact that we stand up for people. and for our history, it infuriates them which is, and this is how they express their loss in front of us. as of now, key of has flat out denied any involvement in this terrorist attack saying that it's security services were not behind it. and so we've also heard from the representative of the secretary general of the united nations calling for an independent investigation to establish the facts surrounding the murder of doria do gonna. so we will to see if that investigation will go through and what kind of other information can be yielded by it. meanwhile, our former russian state do my deputy, who is now a ukrainian citizen claims kia was not involved in doing as a nation. ilia pulled them off in 5th, it was carried out by a group called the national republican army, which he says is a union of russian liberal forces us despite the group, apparently never being heard of before. now, i had a clear understanding that people from the so called national republican army with which we've been in touch since april, have long been preparing an operation with a larger scale than they had ever done before. when it happened, they sent photos from the scene of the explosion to confirm that it was them. they sent a manifesto. natalia volvic had nothing to do with this campaign. when this message appeared, i contacted people from russia with whom we communicate. and they said, no, it wasn't her well, a british media outlets in particular have picked up and promote her to pull them off. claims about alleged quote, power, military liberal forces fighting against flatter putin. moreover, they've also seemingly tried to humanize the story, emphasizing that russia's chief suspect in the killing is the mother of a 12 year old child. reminder rushes federal security service has concluded that key of intelligence is behind the assassination. now, independent political analyst at anthony webber says, the west is continuing to pursue an anti russia narrative over the killing of daria do gonna i think the whole agenda revised in countries increasing the united kingdom and spain to promote the idea that the ukrainian side is profits they will saints be the russian side represents cause we start from having the justification. i know he's the means to bring this about say, what we've got with this latest news regarding this matter that the journalist is already there's alarm to russian propaganda coming out and makes present, said, brought in somehow. all right, sir, carry out this assassination. and it's actually been court bar date and it's double standards. they think we've, if it is up in the united states or not, they come 3.2 people for. ready so it's all very cited dade ukrainian forces have been relentlessly showing residential areas and public infrastructure in the next republic. that is, according to local officials who say 4 civilians were killed and 12 others wounded in attacks on tuesday. the following footage from the republic's capital shows the aftermath of the cycle in the city center, government administration building suffered the most damage along with several apartment buildings and thereby cause one whoa, whoa, where join us self and stay was also struck a correspondent, a room and culture, i've sent us this report from donna, it's shortly after the attack of warning. you may find some of this disturbing multiple areas and then as have once again been struck by the artillery of the ukrainian nationalist forces. right now we are right in the center of the city. this is the central hotel. this is where a lot of volunteers are journalists and other people that come from russia and other countries i live at while, while they're working internet, you can see the scale of destruction here. this car here is almost completely destroyed. thankfully there was no one in it when the shell fell right here. now we're also not very far from the administration, all the head of the republic. it's very close to here at once again, the shelling took place in multiple areas of the nest. according to the local authorities, ukraine nationalists used high caliber artillery, and the in this case are talking about 155 millimeter nato artillery. exclusive shells used to 155 millimeters caliber. it's a nato type. so the west is directly involved in the destruction of residential areas in don. yes, i believe that the criminal ukrainian regime should get the punish it deserves at least 17 shells landed in the center of the nest, instantly killing civilians and causing damage to infrastructure to people's houses to cars. this is just one of the victims. his name is or stem. ah, we have blurred out this picture for him, but 2nd, tell you that half of his half of his head is gone. his tanner here at an answer section rover, probably waiting for people to cross when the shell landed and killed him instantly in his cor, was his wife and his best friends. they're right here as well, and i spoke to them and they told me what happened. rosario, well, just in an instant bang and we ran out, i was sitting in the back with the dog, lena was on the side, and rust em was killed. so i ran out with the dog, the dog in my arms, blood all over the place. lena screams complete chaos. this is another area in central than that square one of the ukrainian shells struck. take a look at this car has a full fuss, shrapnel, thankfully no one was in it at the time of that sac, but take a look at this building. the windows have been blown out. and one of the shells, according to the local officials, had landed right into that building. this building opposite is also full of shrapnel, whole, the citizens, all the local residents are now out on the street trying to collect whatever's left of their belongings. and they're hoping that ukrainian nationalists will not strike again. it is good to have you with us for this program. now as we understand, at least 14 people detained as authorities in riga of dismantled memorial to soviet soldiers commemorating the soviet victory over nazi germany. a controversial move provoked outrage in moscow and also among lat, fears, ethnic russian community of crowds gathered at the side of the monument to protest against the dismantlement. a recon maya has said the remnants of the structure will be completely destroyed. earlier latvia is, parliament suspended an agreement with russia that had protected monuments to soviets soldiers. last month, the latvian government announced plans to tear down $69.00 soviet memorial saying more could be on the way. it's peter scott, now reports trying to think of this monument is in memory of our fathers who died in the war against fascism. now look at what the fascists are doing. look in fact fascist, demolished the monument of the liberators of fascism, the bridge broke today. so they don't have money to repair it, but for this destruction of the memorial, they certainly have money. well, so the monuments in question here is the monuments to deliberates. as of reagan, i was built in 1985, as you said in the, in honor of the soviets role in liberating rieger from nazi germany. not only if you've seen it, but it's quite a huge structure. it's an 85 meter abolish this fine thigh. the side by soviet soldiers on warner and the soviet woman on the other with her arms based high. and this move by the latvian all for it is, is just the latest in the baltics as she stoat tensions with russia. for example, it comes just one week after estonia removed another soviet monument in the town of knob and own house. he said this monument was much smaller than the one in latvia. but the issue is quite divisive, and these baltic countries, latvia and estonia, but she accelerated their plans to remove soviet era monuments in light of the war in ukraine. as i said, it is quite divisive. and in latvia, there's around 25 percent of it's $1900000.00 population, our ethnic russians, and many of them are against the removal of the monuments, the liberators of rica, the latvian russian union. debt was planning to hold a protest to decry and denounce removal of this monuments. and he said that it gathered around 10000 signatures of people who were against it. both the local authorities, they did not give a permit, citing a safety insecurity for the last. the whole area has actually been cordoned off in preparation for that demolition, but talking about this particular monument to the liberators of regus. not the 1st controversy that surrounding it. every year on may, the 9th, the locals gather their to lay flowers in on of the sacrifices made by soviet troops to liberate the city. and this year local police said around $20000.00 people gathered there this on official events. but is where the conspiracy lies early the next day, those flowers that were laid by those people were actually bulldozed on you can see quite shocking images of them circulating on social media, mostly hundreds of thousands of flowers that they got rid of. and obviously this can cause a wave of discontent and it was widely condemned meal by the russian foreign ministry as well as the latvian russian union. the boats in an act of defiance on the next day may, the 10th people went to lay more flowers and you know, in honor of the soviet sacrifices made. but the controversies don't end there on the day, made the 10th. there was a young lady of 19 years old at the time, alexander stefan of he was up, she arrested for waving a russian flag and giving a speech there. now he says he sees the victory day and waving the russian fight as a symbol of unity. but i think it's fair to say that the levine authors in the police didn't see it that way. they saw his actions as supporting the war and ukraine. now he faces up to 5 years in jail to certainly a have to sentence for waving a flag like a say, a very divisive issue, and i'm sure this won't be the last time we'll be discussing the baltic states moving soviet era memorials. as mentioned a full quarter of latvia as population are ethnically, russian, the chief editor of the a bold news website says authorities, there are completely ignoring the values of this group, dental christian, it is shane if this is a criminal decision made in the context of the crisis in ukraine, attempts to impose this decision on the ruling majority have long been tried and the situation has formed such this become possible. this was taken advantage of the program was announced to dismantle all military graves and soviet monuments. this monument was a holy place for the russian speaking population, and hundreds of thousands of people come from many cities on mass on may, the 9th and the latvian nationalists did not care about the opinion of these people . their values are ignored. in order to humiliate russians in addition to the monument, there is a struggle with everything russian, the language symbols in saint george's ribbon, ah, prohibited, may. the 9th is constantly marginalized and laughing authorities demonized this day . and the last one was the monuments. it was protected by a bilateral agreement with russia, but latvian side does not comply with these documents and unilateral decided everything itself by an equal for ah, but us has pledged a support or a police training program in the south american allied country of columbia to educate officers on how to better abide by international human rights standards. washington has allocated several $1000000.00 for the measure. with this project, we will strengthen her capacity to define, deploy, and promote institutional human rights policies. based on international standards, the you are support has been fundamental for this new process of institutional transformation above all in this focus on human rights protection. the move comes off the international criticism over allegations of disproportionate use of force by colombian police during protests in recent years in which dozens of civilians died. the training program which does have un backing, seeks to further educate officers about human rights standards, as well as improved discipline. now this comes into a new case of police brutality. for example, with us all authorities now investigating 3 carpets and knock in store who were filmed, as you can see right here, beating a suspect they would have painting. admittedly, the suspect has a pretty bad criminal record at the offices had been responding to a report of an individual making threat. southside, a convenience shop in a small town of mulberry. well, that's across lives at u. s. civil rights and criminal defense attorney, robert patty and joining us live on our seats. and she'll greatest see you today. thanks for joining us here on the program. my 1st question to you would be a columbia new leader, the country's 1st left wing president, gustavo petro, and said that he wants to reexamine the government's traditionally close ties with the united states and off the so many years, particularly in the wake of the war on drugs, why do you think this kind of assessment has been called for now? why i think it's absolutely necessary the american had demonic power into spear of influence and pursuant to that there's a responsibility to care for both diplomatically and militarily the nations within ours we've been influenced. and that's been very narrowly that's been neglected over the course of the probably last 40 years. so of course, you're going to see more and more nation reach outside of america. we're seeing caribbean nation look towards china for loans. we've seen the central american nations try to strike their own trait deal. we'll, we'll south america, america, by closing in their borders closing in their walls has abdicated this throne and therefore, let the power vacuum for the nation to walk into. obviously when we talk about the war on drugs, this goes back to the 918 and former us president ronald reagan, his wife, the former 1st lady, nancy reagan. this is one of her big policies. and ultimately, the war on drugs essentially gave washington caught blonde to go anywhere in the world claiming it was fighting narcotics, and those who produce and deal them. but with this new program book, a tar aims to promote institutional human rights based on international norms. now it's going to be working with america on this multi $1000000.00 program. don't take me wrong here, but do you think america is a positive role model for something like this in the wake of allegations of police brutality. for example, one of the you of what was on the freedom summer 2020 was and more than 20 cities around the country. math protest mass request for federal system when it comes to the issue of police brutality and african american and latino communities. pursuant to that, we've seen absolutely no action on the federal level, the george floor, justice and policing has been sitting in front of congress for over 2 year to the beginning of the body administration. and we've senior recalls into our republican party not willing to so much as he will make, take a vote on it. and we seem in cities across the country, any effort, a police reform be branded as the funding the police. because to be the power they've been policing, have over other politics. i mean, the small cities and the communities have suffered have been those same african american latino and empowered communities that the united government now things taking at for this brand of policing around the world. we saw today in atlanta restart brooks, the young man who was killed by atlanta police. during that freedom summer, the officers involved his shootings are not being charged with all the brianna taylor killing in america. the police officers who execute her in her bed at home, not being charged. so i think america has a lot of work to do getting they were getting their house correct when it comes to peach county before educating other countries on human rights. i wanted to ask you about colombia as new. first, i'd say left president gustavo petro. he's come out recently in recent days, ultimately saying that, that cocaine, when it comes to the war on drugs, cocaine, potentially should be decriminalized. and then the colombian government can, can regulate the production of cocaine. they can tax it as much as they want, have huge revenue coming in. but the, the colombian president also said that the biggest drug problem in america these days, it's fentanyl and fans, and i was not even being made in columbia. it says what is going on here, really, mr. potato? because if america and the you and giving millions of dollars to columbia to work together as united police force, i mean, perhaps they're trying to curry favor with columbia. what, what's, what's the end game here? well, what we've seen is that it's been a question of power over control over me, ensuring that the legitimate government of the central american south american nations are feed them to the united states of america. we all have known for a generation now that the war on drugs has always been a complete for and it continues to be a complete force. if you look at well, for example, prohibition in american, the 1920 is when they outlawed alcohol. what ended, the prohibition wasn't that people always stop using alcohol, is just the american government realized that there is no way to control human desire. it was better to deal with the treatment side and the demand side as opposed to the supply side. and the legalizing we haven't had a problem for a 100 years with that a similar thing have to happen will. ready illicit drugs in this country, you have to attack the demand side of it, not the supply thought it would. the attacking the supply side only is powered the cartels only give power to bad actors in the international community. only sets of narco states where we're seeing people fleet to the southern boarding, nancy, so america, because of the power of these narcotics organizations. for this reason, i think we've seen these efforts at dealing with drugs in central and south america more so being about american, the u. s. being in control governments through 8 am through policy, as opposed to allow the people of those countries to have their own democratic rule and to outlaw what the, the necessary to be outlawed. because right now the view works, it's simply cut off the demanded america. these norco states or fall one after another, us a civil rights and criminal defense attorney robot portico. joining us live on the international, appreciate that. thanks for the chat. thank you. anytime and i thank you for joining us here for this program live from moscow. exactly. now half pos for the morning, appreciate your joining us. we are back soon with this i ah, with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and going to resist idolatry. how that strategy will be successful very .
