A documentary investigation by Vladimir Soloviev. In the summer of 2024, there was an assassination attempt on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump. On July 13, during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, a shot passed just millimetres from his head and grazed his ear. This isn’t the first time a US presidential candidate has been targeted; such events have occurred frequently in American political history.
What’s behind this assassination attempt? How likely is it that there’s a conspiracy? Why does the US system seem to resist presidents like Trump? Could the presidential election lead to unpredictable consequences?

🟢Almost $327 million to fight loneliness.

That’s how much South Korea plans to spend. The authorities call their project ‘A city where no one will be alone.’ The program will include a 24-hour hotline and an online platform. They will also expand psychological service provision, and offer meals to elderly people.

An epidemic of loneliness has swept the country. In 2023, 3,661 Koreans died far from their loved ones. That’s almost 10% more than two years earlier.

Japan has the same problem. Find out more in the documentary ‘Dying alone’ (2019).

▶️This video shows a kamikaze drone arriving. The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a vehicle carrying humanitarian aid. Sergey Pavlov, who heads the Verkhnetoretsk village administration, was driving. Doctors had to amputate his leg to save him.

Sergey is one of the characters in 'I Want Peace & Quiet'. He was wounded after filming. He recovered and is still working. His example of courage inspired war correspondents Ruslan Gusarov and Artyom Somov to make a sequel: 'We will survive'. 'We made a film with the message that there are many people like that. And the theme of their recovery is very important', said the film’s director.

Tapes 'I Want Peace & Quiet' and 'We will survive' are available in our online cinema rt.doc.

For most of her life, Faina has lived in a war zone. At six, she knew all about artillery shelling and airstrikes. By the age of ten, she was writing plays, poems, and stories. A documentary by filmmaker, Klim Poplavsky tells this talented girl’s story. At thirteen, Faina co-authored a fantasy novel about the children of Donbass under Ukrainian shelling that has now been translated into multiple languages and published in Europe. In October, 2021, Faina was put on the Mirotvorets website's 'death list'. It targets anyone who openly expresses less complimentary views about the Kiev regime.

The list features the names of people of various ages and nationalities, including 327 underaged children. Faina made the list because of her talent and her boldness in directing tough questions to prominent figures like the UN Secretary-General, the French President, and the Pope. Watch the documentary for more on Faina's story.

⚡️Premiering tonight! ‘Speak Out! Faina Savenkova's Story’. 12-year-old Faina Savenkova from the LPR, found herself listed on the ‘Mirotvorets' [Peacemaker] database for writing stories. Faina was put on the site of ‘enemies’ of Ukraine for a video message to the UN with an appeal to protect the children of Donbass. Immediately after that, the girl was hit by a wave of hatred and threats from Ukrainians.

Then she appealed personally to the head of the UN - António Guterres - with a request to influence the Kiev authorities and remove the personal information of minors from the 'Mirotvorets' website. There was no response. Ironically, Guterres himself was included in this database after attending the BRICS summit.

Faina will turn 16 on 31 October. Watch Klim Poplavsky’s film about Faina Savenkova tonight at 01:30 GMT on RT Documentary. You can follow the channel live in the profile hat.

▶️80 years ago, the Red Army liberated Ukraine from the Nazis. But today that feat is almost forgotten in the country. Statues of the liberators are destroyed, and Nazi collaborators hailed as heroes.

'We were forbidden to use the term "Great Patriotic War". It was the "Soviet-German war",' recalls Nadezhda Gashinenko, deputy director for scientific work at the Mariupol Museum of Local Lore.

More on attempts to 'erase' the Great Patriotic War from Ukrainian history is in an excerpt from Dmitry Khrustalev and Ekaterina Kitaitseva's 'Donbass: Echoes of War' (2023).
