00:00:23Russia's investigative committee unpacks the results of its
00:00:27probe into Kiev's attempted invasion
00:00:29of the... border region launched exactly two years
00:00:34me
00:00:34of ago, also
00:00:35a ahead on the program, thousands of migrants, including many children remain in
00:00:38suita following last week's mass influx into spain. we
00:00:42examine the political fallout as the EU demands, Morocco
00:00:46police, the very frontier, it contests
00:00:48and the devastating consequences
00:00:52unleashed by the atomic age is remembered as
00:00:56of Harashima
00:00:57of marks the day the US dropped the bomb. The Japanese cities
00:01:01mayor, however, once again glosses over America's
00:01:04of deadly
00:01:05in of actions. of
00:01:09of me
00:01:23people have been
00:01:24of reported of wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's
00:01:28Yaris slavel region. Our defenses are said to have
00:01:31destroyed close to 100
00:01:33of UAVs
00:01:34of there of in what the local governor called the largest drone onslaught to
00:01:38have hit the area. Storage tanks at
00:01:40a refinery were impacted by falling debris with emergency
00:01:44services working to put out the resulting
00:01:46blaze. Well, Moscow is
00:01:50continuing its probe into quote war crimes committed by the
00:01:54Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries during Kiev's incursion
00:01:58into Russia's Kursk region. which began exactly two years
00:02:02ago and ended some months later. 640
00:02:05people were killed with many more wounded and displaced,
00:02:09including civilians forcibly taken as prisoners of war.
00:02:13RTS Roman Coster recalls the events of
00:02:162024. Well, the Russian investigative committee
00:02:19have once again indicated that no crime
00:02:23of committed by the Kiv regime will be forgotten or go
00:02:26unpunished. Now the harshest sentences wait all
00:02:30of
00:02:31in those that committed terrorist acts against civilians and some
00:02:35of the verdicts have already been announced. now the map of
00:02:38atrocities committed by Ukrainian militas,
00:02:41of militants and foreign mercenaries is very vast, but one
00:02:45Russian region stands out among the rest. exactly two
00:02:49years ago on this day, the Kiv regime invaded Russia in the
00:02:53Koursk region and occupied several dozen
00:02:56settlements. now acting with the feeling of complete...
00:03:00unity against civilians who could not put up a fight against
00:03:03armed
00:03:04of goons, they committed massive,
00:03:06of especially serious
00:03:08of crimes. now those included mass murders, rape and
00:03:12other acts of sexual nature,
00:03:15of looting and kidnapping of civilians. one ukrainian militant by the
00:03:19name of Yevgini Fabrisenka along with
00:03:23accomplices killed 14 civilians in the village of
00:03:26Rusko. now investigators said that they...
00:03:30uh also raped eight women and later executed
00:03:34them. now those involved received life sentences while other
00:03:38Ukrainian soldiers who stole goods worth several million
00:03:41rubles from local store were also sentenced to long
00:03:45prison terms. now 640
00:03:51a of civilians were killed, 561 were wounded
00:03:52of by Ukrainian militants in the course region alone. now when
00:03:56Russia began liberating uh the region,
00:03:58in investigators in made
00:04:06of a a of
00:04:21of
00:04:30нам дрон а как раз
00:04:33of сработал, а рэп сработал на моей
00:04:37машине, рядом с нами прямо метров в семи, наверное, взорвался,
00:04:41милость божия, вырвались, вырвались, вот привезли,
00:04:44ребят, вот выгружают, сейчас
00:04:48вот
00:04:49of в автобусы уже дальше, вот с
00:04:53трудом вырвались, прямо слава богу, гнилось боже, есть и
00:04:57раненые у нас изгражданских.
00:05:01of женщины ранены, слава это
00:05:03рески, богу, ну
00:05:04всё как она, как доехали,
00:05:07нормально, нормально,
00:05:11russian
00:05:12of investigative. committee have launched 711 criminal
00:05:15cases in Koursk region and 706 of
00:05:19those are related to terrorism. now right after the
00:05:22invasion, the so-called soldiers the key regime immediately
00:05:26began restricting the free movement of civilians and
00:05:30committed heinous crimes against peaceful residents using
00:05:33weapons and explosive devices. now many locals are still
00:05:37unaccounted for as Russia's commissioner for human rights, Yana
00:05:41Lantratova reported the absence of data on at least
00:05:45302 residents the korsk border region. now the
00:05:49local governor, alexander hinstein says that only
00:05:52171 residents have been returned by
00:05:56Ukraine to Korsk, now the rest are simply
00:05:59missing and their fate is completely unknown, which
00:06:03makes the entire situation even more difficult and tragic. now
00:06:07investigation into the crimes the Kiev regime in Corsk region
00:06:10continues as a... criminal experts have
00:06:14examined 186 settlements in the
00:06:17area, according to their results, the damage caused by the
00:06:21actions the Kiev regime armed groups have already been
00:06:25estimated at over $6 billion
00:06:27dollars. now not all governors come
00:06:31from administrative background, some actually serve on
00:06:35the very front lines, roman is talking about Belgrad's
00:06:39acting regional head was major general before kicking office
00:06:43and he in fact earned the title hero the Russian federation for his
00:06:47actions in the conflict. Here is Alexander Shivayev as he sat
00:06:51down with RT following two very busy months in
00:06:53office.
00:06:58The first point is our collaboration with the ministry of defense. Just
00:07:02last week I met with the deputy defense minister regarding security measures
00:07:05and
00:07:06the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically FPV
00:07:10interceptors. The main flow of. enemy drones passes through our
00:07:14region, accounting for nearly 90% of all incidents. We are
00:07:17exploring various development options, security concerns lead to other
00:07:21important issues such as economic development. I consulted with
00:07:25economic development minister Maxim Rushetnikov to discuss the free economic
00:07:29zone and
00:07:29the development of industrial parks. Everything has been agreed upon and
00:07:33is now awaiting approval from the government the Russian Federation.
00:07:37Currently we have 179 programs in place for participants
00:07:41and we want to expand. Further, infrastructure development is also
00:07:45essential and we are addressing all these issues. For me, key
00:07:48concern is housing and utilities, because there have been no changes to
00:07:52water supply or drainage systems for many years, resulting in up
00:07:56to 95% wear and tear. Therefore, it is a priority to
00:08:00make these changes. Yes, it's challenging, but we are developing
00:08:04master plan. Now, in the
00:08:08aftermath of last week's border chaos in Souta, most
00:08:12migrant. have now returned to Morocco, however, between two and
00:08:16500 them still remain in the Spanish city, according to local
00:08:19reports. hundreds them are children, many living without their
00:08:23parents in difficult, all be at dire
00:08:26conditions in some areas. suita authorities have
00:08:30requested assistance from Madrid citing a high risk of public
00:08:33order and safety. here's what some of those young migrants had to
00:08:37say about their current
00:08:39situation.
00:08:43I've been in suda for seven days now, I spent three of those days sleeping in
00:08:47the forest without food or water. We barely had enough food to
00:08:50survive. It's been seven days since we've been in the
00:08:54forest, me, my mom and my brother. I hope to become a police
00:08:58officer in the future, and to be able to go to Spain so that we can be
00:09:01reunited with my dad, along with mom and my
00:09:04brother. God willing will be okay, they give
00:09:08us only one meal a day and look what's in it, milk and small cookies and we're...
00:09:12surviving on just that, you always see infants with their mothers, so we're forced to give them
00:09:16our share of milk, because it won't make difference for us, but it makes a big difference for
00:09:19them. you'll find a woman with a small child who has nothing to feed him, there
00:09:23aren't even diapers, they haven't provided us with anything, it's as if all these
00:09:27people don't even exist. while Brussel's
00:09:31claims the crisis was resolved quickly and that conclusions
00:09:35were drawn about stronger border protection, questions over
00:09:39who should be responsible for policing the frontier remain? "the
00:09:43EU wants to shift responsibility to Morocco, but the fact
00:09:47that Rabat considers Suta as its own sovereign
00:09:50territory complicates matters. We
00:09:54all want to have good relations, but if Morocco does not want this,
00:09:58then we will have to ask it to at least show respect. We cannot ask it to change
00:10:01its policy, not even its foreign policy. Its approaches are
00:10:05legitimate, but we can ask it to respect Spain's territorial integrity
00:10:09and the security of our borders. We must make this..." and with the support
00:10:13the rest of Europe. People see this not as a migration crisis. It was
00:10:17fundamentally attack, violation of Spain's territorial
00:10:20integrity. People felt that this, if not orchestrated, was at least
00:10:24encouraged or... permitted by
00:10:31and long-time political advisor, Dr. Samir Bennis, who's also co-founder
00:10:35the Morocco World News site. We appreciate your
00:10:38time, sir. Over 70,000
00:10:42migrants managed to make their way into Suita
00:10:46from Morocco, unprecedented
00:10:49numbers. Could that have been possible without at the
00:10:52very least tasset approval from about in your
00:10:55view? well, let tell
00:10:59tell you that lot of
00:11:03nonsense and idioties have been spread about what
00:11:06happened last week and they have been astonished by the low
00:11:10level of analysis that have been provided by many
00:11:13so-called analysts whether in spain or
00:11:16elsewhere whose main common denominator
00:11:20is sheer ignorance
00:11:22the the police.
00:11:25geopolitical and historical context the the
00:11:29the region and what happened and what led to to
00:11:33crisis? now let tell you that
00:11:36temptation to take shortcuts and
00:11:40avoid to ask the embarrassing and hard
00:11:43questions is very high
00:11:46among European politicians or
00:11:49or even commentators, because what i have
00:11:53witnessed since last week. that there is
00:11:56temptation among politicians and analyke to
00:12:00to all to take shortcuts that only
00:12:03serve their nor self self
00:12:06selfish interest now if we if we if we get
00:12:10serious about about what's happened and we put things
00:12:13into their brother context and ask the right
00:12:17questions we would conclude that
00:12:21Morocco was not first was not was not responsible for what happened?
00:12:25nor did it stage a
00:12:28massive crossing to
00:12:31blackmail spain as many analysts in
00:12:35spain or as well have claimed without without providing
00:12:38any the slightest evidence that
00:12:42support the disclaim now the main question is who
00:12:46stand to befit for from this
00:12:49and what on on earth would put
00:12:52Morocco to stage such and precedent is crossing
00:12:56a time when relations between Morocco
00:12:59and and spain at are at all time
00:13:03high. this is the main question that that have been
00:13:07avoided because those who are who are analyzing the
00:13:10conflicts avoid us because because
00:13:14it constradicts their their preconceived
00:13:18ideas
00:13:19and
00:13:23about Morocco. but the the fact is
00:13:26still that that the Moroccan government still considers
00:13:30Suta Moroccan territory, that's despite Spain and
00:13:33earlier Portugal having ruled it for some six centuries,
00:13:37so is the political will there to ensure
00:13:41border security? well, when it
00:13:45comes to SET and Milia, for Morocco, there is
00:13:48this distinction between the
00:13:52territorial claims that Morocco... lays over
00:13:56south and mia and the bordern and management issue.
00:14:00Morocco has always made its doctrine
00:14:03since the early 1960s to
00:14:07set its claims over Sautanmia
00:14:10aside and push the focus on the question the western
00:14:14sahara for Morocco settling the dispute
00:14:17over western sahara has taken as always taken presence over
00:14:21anything over seuta and mia which from Morocco's
00:14:25perspective does not does do not have the same strategic
00:14:29importance as the as the sahar. now it comes to border
00:14:33management, morocco is bound with set of
00:14:37agreement with both Spain and the European Union and
00:14:41Morocco has always does did its best to
00:14:44discharge or its part the the bergain as
00:14:47effectively as possible. now the problem that happened last
00:14:51week is that there was a Spanish...
00:14:55court decision made out the blue
00:14:59which served as a catalyst for
00:15:03what happened, what happened is that is that that court
00:15:07decision attracted
00:15:09or uh
00:15:12caused the whole architecture of
00:15:16security cooperation between Morocco and spain to collapse,
00:15:19imagine that Morocco and spain
00:15:21have had put a whole architecture over the years and
00:15:25and the court judge comes and tells would be immigrants that
00:15:29if you come to to seuta by swimming you would not
00:15:33be uh deported immediately yeah that that was the main
00:15:36catalyst. that's caused uh
00:15:40thousands of of of would be immigrants
00:15:43with whether from Morocco or Algeria of Sub Saharan
00:15:47Africa to gather in area and to
00:15:50try the the cross into can you
00:15:54mention the western sahara if I can just dig into that with
00:15:57you the Spanish PM visited Algeria right
00:16:01before the border chaos with many suspecting he may
00:16:05back the polissario fronts. to that vast region
00:16:08a group alges
00:16:11supports, how much does the western Sahara
00:16:15have to do with what occurred in Sweden? it
00:16:19has absolutely nothing to do with with what happened, the the
00:16:22claim that Pedro sanchez visit to
00:16:26Algeria, my may have caused Morocco to to
00:16:30use the the migration card as a
00:16:33tool to blackmail to blackmail Spain as many uh... Spanish
00:16:37analysts have claimed to uh to
00:16:41force its hand is is is groundless,
00:16:45why? because first there is there is a written in
00:16:49commitment from Spain in from March
00:16:512022 that it supports Morocco's
00:16:55position that Moroccan autonomic plan for for the western sahara is
00:16:59only basis for the resolution the conflict
00:17:02and top of that now this this this this
00:17:06position has been in trigned in resolution
00:17:092797 the security council adopted
00:17:12last October which has settled settled the the
00:17:16legal debates around Kix forever so the claim that
00:17:20Morocco may have been displeased with with the Sanchez visit
00:17:24is does not stand serious scrutiny
00:17:27why? because Morocco knows that it doesn't have
00:17:31an exclusive marriage with Spain and that Spain is entitled to
00:17:35have its own u set of of
00:17:39strategic interest with with Algeria and it can
00:17:43defend them and from this
00:17:46perspective the to claim that Morocco has been
00:17:50displaced to with with the sunchez
00:17:53to to to the to the level of
00:17:57using migration as as a tool of of
00:18:00pressure is is absolutely outstanding
00:18:08that with us, we appreciate your time, sir, Dr. Samir Bennis,
00:18:12of Morocco World News.
00:18:19welcome, Russian presidential aid Nikolai
00:18:23Patruschev is in Brazil discussing Naval
00:18:26collaboration with its leader Lula de Silva. Both
00:18:29nations are seeking to expand international security
00:18:33cooperation and scientific programs,
00:18:36while in. Mr. Patruschev oversaw the opening
00:18:40of an exhibition dedicated to famed
00:18:43soviet fleet admiralf at the
00:18:47Brazilian Naval Museum. Local officials also underline
00:18:51the importance of Russo Brazil partnerships at sea. The
00:18:55Russian onvoy visited the city's navy arsenal as well, Rio's
00:18:58oldest Maritime
00:19:00base.
00:19:05Okay, some news. is just reaching us of
00:19:09a minibus explosion near the Syrian
00:19:12capital, two people have been reported
00:19:16killed and more than dozen
00:19:19wounded according to the uh
00:19:23local health ministry, the pictures you're
00:19:27seeing right now show severe images
00:19:30of destruction, an explosive device
00:19:33is said to have been planted a passenger van a southeast.
00:19:37suburb the nation's capital,
00:19:41forensic teams are at the site and nearby
00:19:45hospitals have been placed on high alert, no group has claim
00:19:49responsibility for the attack as well, we'll keep
00:19:52you updated with all the latest developments as they
00:19:56emerge.
00:20:04now as Japan's economy suffers
00:20:07Washington has stepped in for the first time in some three decades to
00:20:11rescue its long timeime ally by propping up the
00:20:15yen. Tokyo's currency has been historically weak due
00:20:19to significantly lower interest rates
00:20:22compared to other developed countries. In recent months the
00:20:26yen has been experiencing quotes excessive volatility,
00:20:30according to the Japanese finance minister and the US treasury have to step in and sell
00:20:34euro in exchange for yen. President Trump
00:20:38called the move good news for the
00:20:41global economy. Well, let's
00:20:45welcoming now, Richard Verner, author of
00:20:48princes the. in Japan Central Bankers and the transformation
00:20:52the economy, so no better guess to delve into this with.
00:20:56Why do you think, Mr. Trump, the US jumped
00:21:00in so fast, so rapidly to deal
00:21:04with this, to to prop up the yen?
00:21:08Well, it wasn't exactly fast, actually, because the yen has been
00:21:12extremely undervalued for several years
00:21:15now, and the US has enjoyed that situation
00:21:18where... vastel state
00:21:21countries currencies being cannibalized in order to prop
00:21:25up the dollar, exchange rates are
00:21:29binary traded things
00:21:32pairs, so if you want a strong dollar that is the same as to
00:21:36say you need to have other currencies, major currencies that
00:21:40are weak, and the yen serve that purpose, so
00:21:43the the bank of japan had been instructed by the federal reserve for quite a
00:21:47few years to to ensure that
00:21:50the the yen would stay weak, but we've reached a point
00:21:54where the political leaders in Japan, which which is
00:21:58separate from the central bank, the central bank is independent from the
00:22:02government and is dependent on the
00:22:04federal, you american
00:22:07influence there, but the the
00:22:10government, the political leaders have started to
00:22:14realize that what's happening is actually very
00:22:16detrimental to Japan, the economy, japanese
00:22:20people, so the government through the ministry of
00:22:24finance right to do the
00:22:28official currency intervention and really you
00:22:32know they launched that last year
00:22:35earlier this year um previous
00:22:39bs of weekend, but overall the year has has remained very very
00:22:43weak and and and so now why are they
00:22:46concerned about it, what's the biggest problem with that, I mean? the
00:22:50biggest problem is that it makes imports very
00:22:53expensive, japan is a high value added
00:22:57economy that can handle a dollar
00:23:01rate of 80, but it's actually
00:23:04you know until last week was 164 a
00:23:0740-year um low on the Japanese yen and that
00:23:11is poison for highly competitive economy, you
00:23:15see this is how the German economy um came to be
00:23:19undermined. was the beginning the end when the very
00:23:23strong European currency called the Deutsche Mark, the demark
00:23:27was abolished against the majority
00:23:30opinion the people in Germany, there was no referendum, but poles had
00:23:34shown that two thirds were of course in favor of keeping the d-mark, but
00:23:38it was taken away, abolished and the foreign currency was introduced the euro,
00:23:42which by definition could only be weaker, so then for decades we've had
00:23:46essentially an undervalued German currency and that...
00:23:50being toxic, why? well, Germany needs to import
00:23:54raw materials, that became more expensive,
00:23:57whereas on the export side, it's good for high value added
00:24:01economy to have a strengthening currency, because that
00:24:05forces companies to constantly upgrade, get the latest technology and stay
00:24:09competitive, keeps keeps them on the edge, and that happened for
00:24:13decades, now likewise in Japan now, the this
00:24:16excessively weak yen is undermining Japanese competitiveness. for the same
00:24:20reason and and of course inflation um
00:24:24becomes a problem much easier this way as well so the government want to stop it
00:24:28and america on the political side trump trump
00:24:31decided yeah um you know that's our ally we're going to do
00:24:34it can i just can i just jump into that point about the allie
00:24:38if i can because similar picture emerged before
00:24:42i remember in argentina uh when
00:24:46javia was in charge there mr trump
00:24:50helped out uh few months before the election, does he see
00:24:54us similar type of ally in the Japanese prime
00:24:58minister and Japan as a whole in the region that it goes
00:25:01beyond helping the global economy as he describes it that
00:25:05this is political
00:25:06nature? um well
00:25:10I think it is um that's as far
00:25:13as President Trump is concerned, you see and of course he has influence
00:25:17over his appointed uh treasury secretary, so we
00:25:21have this dichotomy that there's the political leaders both in Japan and the
00:25:25US, but then we have the actual decision makers, the central bankers
00:25:29and they're not necessarily on the same page, you
00:25:33see, so the politicians agree that this is gone too far and
00:25:37of course, the secretary the
00:25:39of treasury bessen is particularly concerned about
00:25:43the government, the ministry of finance, japan does lot of fx intervention in order
00:25:47to strengthen the yen selling dollars, that means it's
00:25:51selling it's US treasury holdings, it's the
00:25:55biggest hold of us treasury, so they don't want that, and of course
00:25:58also bessent instructed the fed.
00:26:02to um essentially give a credit line to Japan so they don't have
00:26:06to sell the treasuries, the just borrow dollars which
00:26:10creates dollars newly
00:26:14um in order to do any intervention
00:26:17um and of course that gives you that's that's not something
00:26:20that the fed is really quite happy about and therefore the
00:26:24fed is likely to agree now okay we've reached this point where
00:26:27um we can we have to um let the yen
00:26:31strengthen now Okay, what what's going to happen if we don't have all this government intervention? what's actually
00:26:35the fundamental situation in the economy? as report in my
00:26:39substac, our werena.substag.com. um,
00:26:43you see, the yen is going to rise because interest
00:26:47rates have been artificially kept low by the bank of japan,
00:26:50but they they follow the economy, they follow
00:26:54economic growth, and economic growth is going to bounce back, credit growth is
00:26:58almost 6%, so soon or later this is going to happen anyway, interest
00:27:01rates have. to jump in Japan and so it's now the politicians
00:27:05trying to to massage it a way that is
00:27:09most uh you
00:27:14just simply because of time and I'm sure the war in Iran also
00:27:18had a had issue if we had more time I wanted to delv into that with you thank you
00:27:22so much economist and author Richard Verer delving into that aspect
00:27:26the weekening Japanese yen thank you
00:27:29thanks. now the world is
00:27:33reflecting today on the dawn the atomic age and it's at times
00:27:37devastating impact, none more so than the US bombing of Japan
00:27:40exactly 81 years ago. harashma was first hit on August
00:27:446th, then Nagasaki three days later. the
00:27:48Russian man marked the seismic event its peace memorial park. at
00:27:528:15 a.m. local time, the moment the anola gay dropped
00:27:56its catastrophic payload, the city fell
00:27:59silent to honor the victims. a Russian... population hovered around
00:28:0335000 people in August 1945 and record
00:28:07suggests that around half that figure lost their lives due to
00:28:11the blast. aside from those
00:28:13who purshed in the initial detonation, many died from radiation exposure with others
00:28:17affected decades later. despite the atrocity, city officials again side
00:28:21stepped who actually unleashed the abom. we heard from one local whose mother was
00:28:25pregnant when disaster struck.
00:28:29after all, i have cancer, that is why the fear of radiation.
00:28:32exposure persists, no matter how many years go by, i am
00:28:3681 years old now, 81, no matter how much time
00:28:40passes, nuclear weapons remain terrifying things, it destroys the
00:28:44soul completely, the soul itself, that is why nuclear weapons
00:28:48must absolutely never be built or
00:28:50used, well the day also saw what are
00:28:53annual demonstrations now against nuclear weapons and war, this year
00:28:57protesters focused on the prime minister's remilitarization plans for
00:29:00japan, senai to his government has eased restrictions on
00:29:04lethal weapon exports, increase military spending and push to revise
00:29:08article 9 the constitution. that would pave the way for Tokyo to establish
00:29:12an official army and participate in armed conflicts. here's some
00:29:15reaction we heard in Hiroshima ahead the morning
00:29:19ceremony. a massive military
00:29:22expansion budget is the clearest evidence of headl rush toward
00:29:26war and prime minister Takaiichi is the very person who pushed it
00:29:30forward all at once and with smile.
00:29:34You cannot eliminate war from the world by using nuclear weapons as a
00:29:38threat. I sincerely hope that solutions will be achieved through
00:29:41dialogue. That
00:29:43I believe is the role of Hiroshima and of Japan with its
00:29:46article 9 constitution. Spending
00:29:5040 trillion yen on military expenses, prioritizing the military over the lives
00:29:54the people is something I simply cannot forgive. I believe Miss
00:29:58Takaici should step down from her
00:30:41I am Pierro Rumumba here at the Manzoni
00:30:44wildlife estate in Machacos County in the Republic of
00:30:48Kenya here in the continent of Africa and as
00:30:52we continue our discussion today we focus on an
00:30:56individual whose ideas
