We have [00:00:06] of to continue our walk for the rest of our life, to turn [00:00:10] this world into a beautiful world. Will you walk with [00:00:16] of us? [00:00:21] of This is [00:00:23] a regular hospital here in Dunes, there isn't a single [00:00:26] of military uh facility in... the [00:00:30] area, this is right in the center [00:00:32] of the city. Ukraine strikes a hospital in the [00:00:36] Donietsk People's Republic, killing one woman and [00:00:39] of wounding two other people. Local authorities say that the drone used in the [00:00:42] attack was a western [00:00:44] of origin. There are documented cases [00:00:51] in in of western weapons supplied to Kieve ending up in the hands of militants in Africa as well as in Latin America and the Middle East. Russia's envoy to the [00:00:55] United Nations says that the West is using Kiev to wage a [00:00:59] proxy war. against Moscow and Africa, that's amid increasing [00:01:03] of scrutiny of Ukraine's military presence in the [00:01:05] region. With thousands of [00:01:09] migrants remaining in Suda following last month's chaos, we [00:01:13] of delved deeper into the issue of border protection. As the EU demands [00:01:16] Morocco takes responsibility for the territory that Robot considers [00:01:20] its [00:01:24] of own. [00:01:30] It's just after 1 p.m. here in Moscow, Russia, and you're watching RT [00:01:33] International. My name is Donald Corder. It's great to have you with [00:01:38] of us. Our top story: four people have been wounded in a Ukrainian drone [00:01:41] attack on Russia's Yaraslaval region. 93 UAVs [00:01:45] were destroyed by air defenses, in what the local governor is saying is [00:01:49] the largest recent onslaught on the area. Storage tanks at [00:01:53] a refinery were hit by falling debris with emergency services [00:01:57] working to ext extinguish the resulting fire. [00:02:00] a [00:02:01] of This comes as Ukraine attacked hospital in the [00:02:04] a Donbas launching a drone into one of its wards. One woman was [00:02:08] killed and two others were wounded, while according to [00:02:11] of federal authorities, fragments found at the scene suggest that the [00:02:14] UAE, the UAV rather had western [00:02:18] of origins. During inspection [00:02:21] of the scene, it was determined [00:02:23] that the attack [00:02:24] of resulted in extensive damage to the medical facility building, including destruction of [00:02:28] its exterior facades and shattered. Furthermore, [00:02:31] according to preliminary information, one civilian was killed in the [00:02:35] attack and at least two others sustained injuries of vary in severity. They [00:02:39] are currently receiving medical attention. Furthermore, fragments of what are believed [00:02:43] to [00:02:43] of be foreign made drones were found at the attack site. These fragments will be [00:02:47] seized and sent for examination to determine the specific type and nature [00:02:50] of the explosive device, information on casualties and damage is being [00:02:54] clarified. With the [00:02:57] a investigation underway in Danjetzk, RT's Roman Kosarave. managed to get to the scene [00:03:01] of the attack and send us this report: one woman [00:03:05] was killed and another two elderly women were wounded [00:03:08] of in [00:03:09] of this therapeutics department at one [00:03:11] of the hospitals here in Dunetsk in the [00:03:14] Dunetsk Republic. As you can see the room [00:03:18] is completely destroyed [00:03:20] of as of these women were [00:03:23] a of of receiving of care here in Dunesc, according to the [00:03:26] authorities, [00:03:27] of the drone that flew into this hospital. so is [00:03:31] aircraft type, [00:03:32] of it's called a hornet, it was designed in the United States [00:03:36] and as you can see right here, [00:03:39] judging from the uh trapnel holes [00:03:43] in the walls, the drone [00:03:47] was filled with trapnel, in other [00:03:50] words, it was the strike [00:03:54] was designed in order to inflict as much damage as [00:03:58] possible, and of course as much that... as possible, once again this is [00:04:02] a regular hospital here in Duness, there isn't a single [00:04:05] military uh facility in the [00:04:08] area, this is right in the center [00:04:11] of the city, this is Wednesday afternoon [00:04:15] and closer to the end [00:04:17] of the work day, and of course the hospital is full of [00:04:21] patients, but now this therapeutics [00:04:23] a wing is closed, as you can see uh volunteers are right [00:04:27] here uh working to re. this damage as [00:04:31] much as [00:04:32] of possible, we're sealing off the building's thermal envelope because our enemies have attacked the [00:04:36] hospital, we rushed here and are slowly sealing it up, only one [00:04:40] window remains, there was blood on the floor and literally two [00:04:44] wards were turned into one, many beds are under the rubble, lot of [00:04:48] concrete is lying around and there's a lot of blood, my guys and i [00:04:52] go out frequently to help those in need, [00:04:54] of [00:04:54] a obviously damage was done not only to this particular room but to [00:04:58] other areas [00:05:06] of Russia struck two cargo ships delivering [00:05:10] military supplies in the black sea near the Ukrainian coastal city of [00:05:14] Odessa, that's according to the latest statement from Russia's defense [00:05:17] ministry. Russia also continues to carry out strikes with high [00:05:21] precision weapons on Ukrainian military linked facilities. Just [00:05:25] on Wednesday, Russia hit multiple targets in Kieve, most them [00:05:28] military transport and logistics centers. Analysts even say [00:05:32] that the attack demonstrated that Ukraine has no means of [00:05:35] intercepting ballistic missiles as not a single one them [00:05:39] was intercepted. Earlier Donald Trump. even give [00:05:43] Zelensky more patriot defense systems, citing the US's own [00:05:47] shortage due to the war with Iran. America now show host, Ben [00:05:50] Swan delves deeper into the issue of what the ammunition [00:05:54] shortage could mean for Washington. United States and [00:05:58] NATO and Ukraine find themselves a strategic nightmare. [00:06:02] They may be losing two wars for the price of one, one in [00:06:05] Europe and one in the Middle East, and both are competing for [00:06:09] the same missile interceptors. By the way, that's not... politics, that is [00:06:13] industrial math, and the math is not looking good. [00:06:17] a single patriot battery costs around 1.1 billion [00:06:20] dollars, but the real expense, [00:06:23] they aren't the launchers, it's the interceptors themselves. see each pack 3 [00:06:26] missile costs about $4 million. again, [00:06:30] that's each. and here's the part the few people understand, it takes more than two [00:06:34] years to build just one them, two years. you [00:06:38] cannot surge that overnight, you can't flip a switch, you can't order amazon. [00:06:42] prime for missile defense, the supply chain is complex, advanced [00:06:46] seekers, solid rocket mortars, high-end microelectronics, [00:06:50] specialized composite materials. see, many of those components come from a [00:06:54] small number of highly specialized suppliers that were already running [00:06:58] the capacity before the Russia-Ukraine war, and that's why [00:07:01] even Lockheed Martin and RTX are spending billions of [00:07:05] dollars to expand their factories. Lockhead says it plans to triple [00:07:09] PAC 3 production, but not until... [00:07:12] 2030, so let that sink in right? we're talking about a war that is [00:07:16] happening right now, and the industrial response [00:07:20] four years away. the United States may have treated what it [00:07:24] thought would be a short-term victory and instead traded it [00:07:28] for long-term strategic liabilities. [00:07:31] again, we may be losing two wars for the price of one, one because [00:07:35] Ukraine is running out the missiles that it needs to defend it cities, it has [00:07:39] none, the other, because our own stock pipe. were [00:07:42] depleted fighting a war with Iran that hasn't made the Middle East one bit [00:07:46] safer, [00:07:47] and the hardest truth of all, you can't rebuild a missile stock [00:07:51] pile with a speech, you can't surge defense industrial base with a [00:07:54] press conference, and you cannot win a war if you cannot build the [00:07:58] weapons fast enough to fight [00:08:01] it. [00:08:10] Ukrainian attacks on civilians in Russia. have only prompted a more [00:08:14] intense response from Moscow with Kiev's black sea ports becoming [00:08:18] regular targets for Russian forces and the economic impact the [00:08:21] strikes being felt across Ukraine. Make sure to have head over to our [00:08:25] website RT.com for more on this story and many, many [00:08:29] others. No more [00:08:33] sanctuary for Draft Dodgers. Amid Ukraine's lack of manpower and [00:08:37] violent forced mobilization, the European Union has decided to [00:08:41] help by closing its door. to ukrainian men eligible for [00:08:44] military service, they're now going to have to prove that they're not [00:08:48] hiding from conscription in Ukraine by submitting military [00:08:51] papers. RT contributor Rachel Marston looks into how the new [00:08:55] EU policy is practically sending Ukrainian men to their [00:08:59] deaths. So the European Union has just made [00:09:03] a quiet adjustment to its temporary protection policy [00:09:07] for Ukrainians, not a big dramatic announcement, more of [00:09:11] a little tweak. the legal text that changes the [00:09:14] reality completely for Ukrainians fleeing war. [00:09:18] As of August 5th, protection now depends on whether you can prove that [00:09:22] you're in compliance with your military obligations back [00:09:26] home. Here's the official version. To this end, [00:09:30] without prejudice to union law and fundamental rights, temporary [00:09:34] protection should only be granted to individuals who can provide proof to [00:09:38] member state authorities that they are, where applicable in compliance with their [00:09:42] military. obligations: so protection is no [00:09:45] longer just about getting your behind out of a war [00:09:49] zone, it also now means that you have to demonstrate [00:09:52] that you're not getting out of it too effectively by [00:09:56] avoiding the front line, and the EU is very clear about [00:10:00] why they don't want to weaken Ukraine's ability to defend [00:10:04] itself. now that part sounds like this: it is [00:10:08] therefore essential that the union continue to apply temporary [00:10:11] protection. a way that, while benefiting displaced persons does [00:10:15] not negatively affect Ukraine's overall ability to best defend [00:10:19] itself against Russia's war of aggression and to decide freely on the [00:10:23] organization of its defense. forces, okay, so in other words, you [00:10:27] can leave, just not in a way that becomes obvious or [00:10:30] worse, so popular, that everyone notices that [00:10:34] reality contradicts Brussels narrative, because [00:10:37] Ukrainians fleeing mobilization is really at odds with the [00:10:41] messaging that we've been hearing over the past few years, according to European [00:10:45] leaders, Ukrainians aren't just willing to fight, they're [00:10:49] practically falling over themselves to get to the frontlines, and we [00:10:53] all know that... "Ukrainians [00:10:56] are ready to die for the European perspective. Ukrainians are [00:11:00] very resilient, they are fighting for their freedom, their [00:11:03] independence, their country, so they [00:11:07] can't just surrender. We witness the resilience of [00:11:10] Ukrainian people who have shown [00:11:13] extraordinary strength in f in the face of [00:11:17] aggression. Okay, so Ukrainians are eager, they're [00:11:21] determined, highly motivated, so much so that the..." [00:11:25] now required to prove it. the EU's narrative about Ukrainians [00:11:29] being psyched about fighting is apparently so badly in [00:11:33] need of maintaining that Ukrainians now have to subject [00:11:36] themselves to a Brussel's compliance [00:11:39] exercise in order to prop it up, because if [00:11:43] everyone's rushing to the front voluntarily, then you don't [00:11:47] really actually need to check to see if they're dodging the [00:11:51] draft, you just assume that they're going because they're so gungho. [00:11:55] but instead, the EU has built a system for [00:11:59] Ukrainians that now says, hey, look, we support you, [00:12:02] but we'd also like some confirmation that you're not trying to [00:12:06] dodge this war that we keep saying you're so psyched about [00:12:10] fighting. turns out that the EU member states are [00:12:13] already operationalizing all of this. in the Czech Republic, for [00:12:17] example, applicants will have to verify their Ukrainian military [00:12:21] service status through an app before getting protection. [00:12:25] Here's how that is being framed. Our government has been [00:12:28] pushing for tightening of temporary protection conditions for a long time, [00:12:32] and I appreciate that we have managed to find agreement across member [00:12:36] states. This decision will reduce the number of new arrivals by [00:12:40] tens of percentage points. This will subsequently reduce the [00:12:43] pressure on our capacities and relieve the check health and social [00:12:47] system. Yeah, well, there it is. The bottom [00:12:51] line, of course, the practical reality that no one likes to pretend. [00:12:55] even exists, fewer arrivals, less pressure on the [00:12:58] system, smoother administration, fewer [00:13:02] headaches, [00:13:03] uh, yeah, heart driven humanitarian policy meets [00:13:07] cash driven capacity management, so the EU [00:13:10] is now trying to manage two parallel tracks, you could say, one [00:13:14] being a lot more detached from reality than the [00:13:18] other, publicly Ukrainians are committed, [00:13:22] resilient, ready to fight, but [00:13:25] administratively, policywise, well they're going to need those [00:13:29] same Ukrainians to upload actual proof of being in full [00:13:32] compliance with the EU's public facing [00:13:36] delusions. The west is [00:13:39] using Kiev to wage war against Russia and Africa. That's according to [00:13:43] Moscow's ambassador to the United Nations, Vasilienzia a [00:13:47] security council [00:13:48] meeting. The terrorist [00:13:52] activities the Kyev regime in Africa must be pointed out. This refers to the [00:13:56] supply of UAVs and the direct training of terrorists by Ukrainian military [00:13:59] instructors. There are documented cases of western weapons supplied to Kieve, [00:14:03] ending up in the hands of militants in Africa as well as in Latin America and the [00:14:07] Middle East. U.S. oversight agencies have questions regarding how the [00:14:11] military aid provided to Kiev by the Biden administration was used. The [00:14:15] Kiev regime has long been in complete economic and military dependence on the EU and [00:14:19] NATO countries which are using Ukraine to wage a proxy war against [00:14:22] Russia. The same approach is being by Ukraine's western handlers [00:14:26] on the African continent. By involving Ukrainians in supporting terrorist [00:14:30] groups in the Sahel, they are once again trying to achieve their own goals through the hands [00:14:34] of others. Ukraine [00:14:38] was in the center of controversy in Africa after an ambush in [00:14:41] July of 2025 by Tworig and Al-Qaeda [00:14:45] fighters. [00:14:46] That attack resulted in dozens of casualties, including among them the [00:14:49] Russian Africa core as the unit fought off the attack. Russia's [00:14:53] defense ministry later. revealed that Ukrainian and European mercenary [00:14:57] instructors were behind attempted coup attempt in the [00:15:00] country, w and while the Sahell states deepen military [00:15:04] cooperation with Russia with joint declaration signed last month, [00:15:08] African countries are directing even more accusations against [00:15:11] Kiev. As remote [00:15:15] as it may seem, the war in Ukraine and terrorism in the sahil are connected. [00:15:19] As reminder, after the terrorist attack against a Maleian defense and [00:15:23] security forces patrol from end of July 2024 in the Kaidal [00:15:27] region, Mali denounced this incident and condemned the attitude of Ukrainian [00:15:31] officials who publicly claimed their participation in the set [00:15:34] attack. The Bamaco meeting. also [00:15:37] recommended seasing the international court of justice with complaints against [00:15:41] France in Ukraine for supporting and making apology for [00:15:45] terrorism on the one hand, and on the other hand, deciding to [00:15:49] systematically initiate proceedings before national courts against the media. [00:15:52] Ukraine has been found to be involved in supporting other groups in Libya, [00:15:56] Somalia and Niger. It supports organizations such as Boko Haram and [00:16:00] Harakat Al-Shabab in Somalia, and also provides support to [00:16:04] rapid support forces in Sudan by supplying... with drones at [00:16:08] very low prices. The Sahel is not the [00:16:12] only African region where tensions with Ukraine have escalated. [00:16:15] Multiple media reports have revealed that Ukrainian troops are operating [00:16:19] in Libya, some claim over 200 them are secretly operating [00:16:23] in the country. They're also reportedly smuggling weapons to [00:16:27] Africa and are also involved attacks on Russian [00:16:30] vessels. RT has requested comment on the matter from [00:16:34] Libya's government of National Unity, and we will keep you of course. up to speed [00:16:38] regarding any response we get, in the meantime, earlier we spoke [00:16:41] with, political analyst and [00:16:45] researcher who told us that Ukraine is seeking to export its [00:16:49] conflict to other parts the [00:16:50] world. We must establish [00:16:54] a connection between the events. We clearly remember that in July [00:16:58] 2024, Ukrainian intelligence was involved in the battle [00:17:01] of northern Mali. In this battle, Ukraine provided [00:17:05] support to the rebels in their confrontation. with the malian army and Russian forces [00:17:09] located on Maleian territory. All these facts point to Ukraine's clear [00:17:13] intention to interfere in the internal affairs the African Sahel countries amit [00:17:17] is confrontation with Russia. These circumstances create an important interconnection [00:17:21] between various reports which, incidentally, come from a single source and confirm the [00:17:25] presence of active Ukrainian activity in such Sahel countries as well as in [00:17:29] Libya. This certainly serves as additional indicator since the [00:17:32] geographical link points to the interaction between the African Sahel and Libya [00:17:36] as well as to the characteristics the government controlling the western regions of [00:17:40] Libya. The conflicts in the capital Tripoli arise from the presence of [00:17:44] numerous factions and the intersecting interests of various western countries in these [00:17:48] areas the city, where each faction answers to a particular side. [00:17:52] Moreover, in western Tripoli, there is currently a struggle between these groups and traces [00:17:56] the Ukrainian side are already evident, providing logistical support to these [00:18:00] factions, including training and supplying equipment. Today we will return [00:18:03] again to the issue of Tajura east of Tripoli, according to information. on the [00:18:07] ground. Ukrainian experts are present in various camps of Libyan factions [00:18:11] and characteristic drones are also being used. In addition, there are [00:18:15] independent reports describing the transfer of drones from Ukraine to Libya with their [00:18:19] subsequent dispatch to the African Sahel. Ukraine wants to demonstrate its [00:18:22] ability to be a partner in exporting conflict. Its actions in Syria, [00:18:26] along with the major confrontation between Iran and the United States, are part of [00:18:30] escalating and dangerous regional conflict with global [00:18:33] consequences. All these actions create negative overall climate against [00:18:36] Ukraine. which, instead of focusing its internal conflict, seeks [00:18:40] to export this unrest to other countries. What is happening in Ukraine [00:18:44] is attempt to gain the support the United States and draw them into its [00:18:48] struggle with Russia by any possible [00:18:50] means. Since last week's [00:18:53] chaos in the Spanish city of Suda, most migrants have returned to [00:18:57] Morocco. However, between two and 5,00 them still remain in the [00:19:01] city, according to local reports. The city's local [00:19:04] authorities say that more than 1,000 of those migrants left are [00:19:08] young people and hundreds them are living without their parents in dire [00:19:12] conditions. officials have requested assistance from the Spanish [00:19:16] government citing a high risk to order and public safety. [00:19:20] here's what the migrants themselves had to say about their current living [00:19:23] conditions. i've been in suda for seven [00:19:27] days now. i spent three of those days sleeping in the forest without food or [00:19:31] water. we barely had enough food to [00:19:33] survive. it's been seven days since we in [00:19:37] the forest, me, my mom and my brother. I hope to become a police [00:19:41] officer in the future and to be able to go to Spain so that we can be [00:19:45] reunited with my dad, along with mom and my [00:19:47] brother. God willing will be okay, they give [00:19:51] us only one meal a day and look what's in it. Milk and small rond cookies and we're [00:19:55] really surviving on just that. You always see infants with their mothers, so we're forced to give [00:19:59] them our share of milk because it won't make difference for us, but it makes a big difference for [00:20:02] them. You'll find a woman with a small child who has nothing to feed him. There [00:20:06] aren't even... diapers, they haven't provided us with anything, it's as if all these [00:20:10] people don't even exist. now the EU claims [00:20:14] that the crisis was resolved quickly, and conclusions drawn about stronger [00:20:18] border protection, questions over whose border [00:20:20] it is, and who should be responsible for it remain. the EU wants [00:20:24] to shift responsibility onto Morocco, but Rabot considers Suda as [00:20:28] its own sovereign territory and has rejected the plan. RT [00:20:32] corresponding delves deeper into the [00:20:34] dilemma. many consider so... that to be Europe's [00:20:38] southern border, but this widely accepted fact begs a [00:20:42] few rarely asked questions: why does Europe still hold [00:20:45] territory on the North African coast, and how can Brussels expect [00:20:49] Morocco? to defend the border that Rabat has never [00:20:52] recognized, a dispute shaped by centuries of [00:20:56] complicated relations when tens of thousands of migrants crossed that [00:21:00] contested border. Spanish authorities in seuta blamed robot [00:21:04] insist in Morocco bears the responsibility of securing [00:21:07] Madrid's border. We all want to have good relations, but [00:21:11] if Morocco does not want this, then we will have to ask it to at least show [00:21:15] respect. We cannot ask it to change its policy, not even its foreign [00:21:19] policy. Its approaches are legitimate, but we can ask it to respect [00:21:23] Spain's territorial integrity and the security of our borders. We [00:21:27] must make this demand with the support the rest of Europe. People see this not as [00:21:31] a migration crisis. It was fundamentally attack, violation [00:21:35] of Spain's territorial integrity. People felt that this, if not [00:21:38] orchestrated, was at least encouraged or permitted by Morocco. From [00:21:42] Morocco's perspective, it's been asked to defend what it considers [00:21:45] occupied Moroccan land. That position isn't new. Say [00:21:49] with me. India are among the last remaining traces of Spain's [00:21:53] centuries long presence in North Africa, a presence that dug [00:21:56] its heels in when Morocco gained independence back in [00:22:00] 1956. Since then, Robot's policy has [00:22:04] remained consistent. Both enclaves are part of [00:22:08] its territory. Suta and Malila are integral part of [00:22:11] Moroccan territory and their return will be achieved through direct [00:22:15] negotiations just as was the case with Tarfea, CD Iffne and [00:22:19] the Moroccans. Maroccan society, the [00:22:22] institutions and of course the government agree that Suda and [00:22:26] Milila are Moroccacan. Regarding the status quo in Suta [00:22:30] and Milila, which has persisted for nearly five or six centuries, the [00:22:34] day may come when we reopen the file on Suta and Malila. While Spain [00:22:38] continues to dismiss Morocco's claim to the land, Madrid [00:22:41] wants rebot to remain cooperative comes to [00:22:44] when controlling migrant [00:22:49] it flow. willing to cooperate to expedite the repatriation of citizens to [00:22:53] their country of origin. We have made it clear to our neighbor and ally that we [00:22:57] need to speed things up and provide much more decisive response to the [00:23:01] events that have unfolded in the autonomous city of suita. I believe [00:23:05] it is very important emphasize this because among other things the dialogue [00:23:09] with Moroccan authorities was constant, fluid and very reasonable, [00:23:13] unlike what happened in 2021. Therefore, we hope that this [00:23:16] cooperation intensifies and allows for the repatriation. [00:23:20] process to be expedited over the coming hours and days with the [00:23:24] aim of restoring order. guard our borders, take back [00:23:28] migrants and turn a blind eye while we disrespect your [00:23:31] national interests. that's the tone Madrid has taken by court in [00:23:35] rebats neighbor Algers. just weeks before the migrant surge, [00:23:39] Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez visited Algeria to mend [00:23:43] relations that had frozen in 2022 after Madrid backed [00:23:47] Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara. major bone of [00:23:51] contention between Robot and Algeers. Adding insult to [00:23:54] injuries. Spain admitted the polisario front leader for medical treatment back [00:23:58] in 2021, figure Morocco sees as the leader of [00:24:02] violent separatist movement, backed by [00:24:05] Algeria. The decision the Spanish authorities not to notify their [00:24:09] Moroccan counterparts the arrival the leader the Polisario milicias is not [00:24:13] simple omission. It is a premeditated act, voluntary choice and [00:24:17] sovereign decision by Spain of which Morocco takes. full note and will [00:24:20] draw all the consequences. Just weeks later, thousands of [00:24:24] migrants crossed the seuta border. Spain's defense minister called the [00:24:28] incident political blackmail. This was Robot's short [00:24:32] response. Morocco has no obligation to protect the borders [00:24:36] of countries other than its own. Morocco does not have the vocation [00:24:40] of being Europe's genderm or its concierge. Madrid wants [00:24:44] it both ways. It demands that Morocco secure Europe's southern [00:24:48] border and stam the flow of. migrants, all while [00:24:51] repeatedly antagonizing Robot, the consequences of that [00:24:55] approach just landed at Spain's [00:24:57] gates. Metta's [00:25:01] chief global affairs officer has personally apologized to New [00:25:05] Delhi for Facebook's removal of Indian Prime Minister Narendra [00:25:09] Modi's video address. According to reports, India issued a [00:25:12] direct warning to Mark Zuckerberg, giving the company three days to [00:25:16] respond. New Delhi requested the delegation come. to [00:25:20] provide an explanation for Metta's deletion the post, apart [00:25:24] from this, New Delhi has accused Meta of hosting child sexual [00:25:27] abuse content and other AI violations. the government [00:25:31] committee proposed the platform be stripped of its safe harbor protection [00:25:35] under the country's IT act, which would essentially mean that the [00:25:39] platform would bear full responsibility for user generated [00:25:43] content on its websites in [00:25:45] India. shortly before coming to New [00:25:48] Delhi, the removal of Modi's video as a [00:25:52] technical glitch. However, there might be [00:25:54] a bigger issue at play. In the latest episode the Sanchez Effect, Rick [00:25:58] hosts former Indian foreign [00:25:59] secretary. says that social media [00:26:03] algorithms play a pivotal role in pushing one-sided [00:26:07] narratives. what do you make these algorithms that they [00:26:10] use in social media? i'll give you an example in my case, right? mean i have won emi [00:26:14] awards, i have won p body awards, journalism [00:26:18] awards, i've worked at CNN and NBC, i've [00:26:21] interviewed four different presidents the United States and other prime [00:26:25] ministers and world leaders and [00:26:27] yet now, simply because i'm based in Moscow, [00:26:31] the algorithm says: "I have to be excluded from YouTube, so [00:26:35] they've taken down my name, my brand, my channel. It [00:26:39] doesn't seem fair to me, I'm no different to journalist here than [00:26:43] I was when I was working in Washington or New York or Miami, but the [00:26:46] algorithm say now, I'm a bad guy, that doesn't [00:26:50] seem fair to me, it's almost like what they're doing in this case, is it [00:26:54] not? Well, I think you're using very mild words saying is not [00:26:57] fair, I think is worse than that. I mean, this is contrary to [00:27:01] all the values that..." [00:27:02] they talk about in his spouse and they harang the rest the world [00:27:06] with those values which which makes them feel [00:27:09] morally and politically superior. this kind of sensing, this kind [00:27:13] of suppression of voices, not allowing the public to get [00:27:17] access to different points of view, by serious people. now you are serious [00:27:21] person, so it's not as if you are a [00:27:24] propagandist of any kind, but [00:27:28] look at the moment I am in Paris and I see the French TV, my [00:27:31] God. 'you would think that Russia is collapsing, it's finished as a country, it's [00:27:35] on his last legs, is going to break up, and Kiev is [00:27:39] successful every possible way, and then any [00:27:43] any drone thing that happens anywhere in Europe, [00:27:45] this time in Germany somewhere near Desland or some place like [00:27:49] that, again that these are the Russians who are doing this and stuff like [00:27:53] that, now this kind of win watching that is going on, I can [00:27:56] understand that you have kind of an honest debate where a [00:27:59] person can hold these views, but then there is another person'. 'who gives different point [00:28:03] of view so as so that the public can judge where really the [00:28:07] truth lies? of course, but it is all one [00:28:10] sided. [00:28:20] well, that's all for me here at RT international. my colleague rachel rubo will [00:28:23] be taking over with more in just another 30 minutes. so see you [00:28:27] next. [00:28:42] What if everything you think you know is only part the [00:28:46] story: bold economic moves, high stakes battles on the world [00:28:50] stage, war and peace, the very future [00:28:54] of America. The headlines are loud, the debates are [00:28:57] fierce. Now it's time for closer look, know the [00:29:01] policy, understand. [00:29:13] Ja sam htio da dam krv za ranjenike [00:29:17] iz razloga pod broj jedan što su ruska i srpska krv jedna [00:29:21] krv za donbas jednostavno hoću [00:29:25] da da pokažem ljubav kao što su i Rusi pokazivali ljubav kad je nama bilo [00:29:29] teško u Republici Srpskoj na Kosovu koji su... Ja sam htio [00:29:33] da vidim kako ovaj narod ovde živi, ja sam hteo da dođem ovde zato što [00:29:37] saosećam sa ruskim narodom koji koji se ovde bori [00:29:41] i [00:29:41] živi. [00:29:51] Htio da vidim 100% dešavanja koja se ovde dešavaju i kako ovde [00:29:55] narod [00:29:55] živi. [00:29:59] Ja sam htio da se sretnem sa ruskim borcima. da vidim i [00:30:03] mogu vam reći da su to sve heroji, da [00:30:07] ruski srpski grb, pravoslavna braća, ja [00:30:11] bil bojico vojske republike srpske, srpski i ruski [00:30:14] narod je kroz čitavu istoriju nikad nikog nije [00:30:18] napadao i srpski i ruski narod se uvek [00:30:21] branio.
