6:02 pm
that we do. so we working on many aspects of through political guidelines for the been counted based on the you've been cancelled a guideline, but we've analyzed the different level of dependency. a different countries have when it comes to a russian gas or dependency on references one without needing to to have an agreement between everybody. in any case, everyone is going ahead with cutting that dependency already and to cut what we consume from rough and sources that's already happening, everybody's doing in some countries have already said that they're going to stop importing the gas boy from russia and others more dependent on that source and they're cutting back. now there are 2 ways that you bought a foreign affairs chief just they're picking off to me. some of the foreign ministers in luxembourg. ah, he spoke about ways to make rest are accountable for violations of international
6:03 pm
law. and that the you will assist in documenting war crimes that the impact of sanctions are being measured and what else could be done as being discussed. he said that they must fight see you, nations must fight to decrease dependence on russian energy export import. ah, he went on talk about rushes, military efforts, saying that russia is the army has failed to take you, that they could not do that. and what they left behind with horror, he went on to say that russia is stopping ships from leaving ukrainian ports, causing scarcity provoking hunger around the world. and when he was asked about whether the current pledges for support, military pledges, financial changes are sufficient, given the for coming battle in the east. ah, he said that we're now talking about a new sage in the war, will continue to help me, crane and military terms. we will not intervene directly, but we will continue to provide arms so that they can continue to fight. let's
6:04 pm
bring them down. a cane who joins us now live from berlin dominant. what would it be? take away few from one child, joseph brown had se 1st and then perhaps foremost, no new sanctions agreed today. he said nothing had been taken off the table. everything was on the table as it were, but no decision today. and then in the sense, you were just saying there about what sorts of concerns the you cancel the foreign affairs council hassle. clearly the next phase of what is happening in ukraine from a military perspective, that idea of something being prepared by the russians in the don bass area. what form that might take also that reference to food security or indeed, insecurity. specifically, mister barrell, talking about the situation in africa, remembering that many african countries depends to some considerable extent on the
6:05 pm
produce of ukraine and russia in order to grow the sorts of crops and then to feed their people. and so that's a serious issue for him. it is worth making the point that when that mister boreal talks about the e. u not intervening in a military sense. well, it couldn't. anyway, the e u doesn't really have in itself the power to do that sort of thing. it would be nato that would intervene and clearly nature has said that is not going to happen from their perspective. the one thing that we do know is important not just mentioned by mister burrell, this idea of the assistance being provided the military assistance. there is a confused message coming from germany, in the sense that the foreign minister analynn burbock, who was in that foreign affairs council with mister barrell in luxemburg to day, has gone on record in saying that it is important for heavy weapons to be supplied to ukraine that puts her to a certain extent in directly, in
6:06 pm
a war of words with some her cabinet colleagues who are not quite ready to do that just yet. so the, to take from this, they discussed the situation. they haven't taken anything off the table in terms of sanctions, but they aren't yet prepared to deal with that reality of oil and gas. mr. burrell said that there's more oil from russia than gas. and yet, there are 2 or 3 states, specifically, austria and germany, who are very heavily dependent on russian gas. and as yet they haven't found a way immediately to make up for any short for there would be if that gas was suddenly to be switched off. that explains why they would know particular progress regarding oil and gas sanctions today. or whenever they're thank that dominic came line for us in berlin. ah,

august on has a new prime minister shabazz sharika was elected by the national assembly after iran con, last and no confidence vote of the weekend. reefs 1st task will be to form a cabinet and quickly throw up plans to deal with soaring inflation. mounting debt and other pressing problems that brought down in mon cons, government con, along with most of his party members resigned their seats. what come on how to joins us now live from islam of odds are qual, just walk through what happened at the vote and what's expected in the next few hours. well indeed. what is now happening is that the prime minister, new prime minister, should have, will be sworn in less than 30 minutes from now. the reading in a way to be conducted by the chairman senate, mit that's on your, on a big on the president there. said to be not didn't go ahead and therefore when the
6:08 pm
president did not read it or he would say the chairman send, it assumed the power of the president during the acting president to be precise. so where then, less than 30 minutes, troubleshooting will be born in the country, the prime minister of all that can sure and draw my parliament around college bar day had to have their deliberation late night last night and decided that they would resign and mod. now that of gosh, would be set back, however, parliament is yet to accept or resignation. so it will be important to see where the parliament will continue to wait on that, but that will create a crisis. also, on the other hand, the governor of the province that the southern province of bargain saw and had not entered the nation from amazon con spar date. and the governor of the province read
6:09 pm
to have a majority had also resigned as governor. so i indeed monumental development when it comes to parliamentary democracy, the position of god which the short mental radiates, political parties, will not have to prove that they can stick together because in the box, they have had better rivalry show shabbots. sure, dave, of god, on the other hand it know now that now minutes great. he's got credit for that as chief minister of the fun job province and also the younger brother of no, why should have went on medical grounds to england. ready, then a self important guy. all right, come all hot live for us in some of our thank you very much. or some of injury now takes a look. shall sherry sly, found his path to becoming prime minister known and focused on as an administrator who gets things done at the age of 70, shall,
6:10 pm
should he was the joint leader of the opposition that toppled him. non hon in the no confidence vote. should he ventured politics and then lead pakistan's most pop in this province and the major infrastructure projects. in his home town, the hor, he successfully brought an investment from china and turkey. he's also had good relations with the u. s. analysts say he will need to mend fences after the outgoing prime minister accused his opponents of being politically manipulated by washington. shabazz is the younger brother, a former prime minister, am i sharif, who was dismissed following allegations of corruption. he's facing a money laundering case and corruption charges brought by the federal investigation agency and the national accountability bureau boats. by the say, the allegations leveled under him run hands premier ship were politically motivated and in 2007. should he criticize the accountability bureau investigating him in nap, which is an illusion of countries. i'm sure if it went to a hitler's estoppel national accountable to biddle,
6:11 pm
which does selective accounting, accountability, and other opposition. politicians also use it of being a tool used for political, which hunts in subsequent years in power and wisdom, the government left the bureau and changed out of all politicians, troubleshooting is widely considered to be the most acceptable to them in a stablished mind. and those who came together to topple in mountains government hoping that the army will maintain what it called it's neutral status. even if shabazz sharif remains the prime minister until elections next year, i will still not become a prime minister who completes a 5 year term in pakistan. as none have done in the country 75 years history, sama java down to 0 is all about it. all right, her she was in, i was, it was now in scott from alexandria in virginia. he is a distinguished fellow with the south asia center at the atlantic council. thank you for your time. ah, i'll start by asking you,
6:12 pm
what do you think this new prime minister will mean for pakistan? how will he try to change things? how will you try and address some of those big issues at the countries facing well, he set out a very wide and ambitious agenda for himself and the speech after he was elected by parliament. but we should emphasize that the parliament was half empty or nearly half empty, because the prime minister, ron conn and his party said they were designing and large numbers of them apparently have submitted their resignations and they left the chambers, which was ashamed to ferguson's fledgling democracy because it means that the opposition is not going to be strong and he's not going to keep the government honest. as the earlier reports indicated, this is a hodge podge alliance that has been formed in the past 200, so called charter of democracy. and more recently under renewed jonathan war
6:13 pm
reforms, they all have very separate interest in many separate provincial places. and it will be interesting to see how she was sharing as the prime minister can keep them all together at least to when the next election next year. the, the main challenges that the face has already could all make. the met program has been suspended the countries tracing in almost deficits on the fiscal side as well . on the current account side. there's going to be a change possibly at the state bank of focused on where the governance term is ending and it's not clear whether he will be renewed and if he isn't them, there will be something brand new to to pick up the range. and then of course, there is the break with the united states department policy side. and most important of all domestically. there is the very clear break between them run con, focused on military rise to personalize by him in the rivalry when to go to the
6:14 pm
army chief general hydro. so that seems to be coming to the and that's going to send him, well, he to the streets, to show for and to try and form a new government when the next election state. yeah. do you think it matches? now what enron con does, he think, calling his support his onto the street, a lot of them, the young people who saw him on con, is sort of a break from the old political indeed. so does it matter now what he does? yes, it does because he still commands a fairly large audience. among the youth of marcus time, he has still his, his, his nicola g for being a cricket captain, won the world cup in 1900. 92 interestingly focused on population of 220000000 and the median age of 23. a large number of the people
6:15 pm
were not even born when he won the world cup, but the mythology exist and he's very popular among the you can. he's also very popular among the younger officers in the military, as well as interestingly with the retired military. so he's going to try and use all these access points to raise a ruckus outside the assembly. you know, i fear that this may bring counter protests. and if there are clashes in the streets, then in the military may be forced to step in, which is not something that either the military wants or any of the people in pakistan. i would leave it there. thank you very much for your time for your and official jer. now, as a distinguished fellow with the south asian center on the atlantic council. made my head on the news all including critics of mexico's president, lost what they call a pointless referendum. as the kremlin pushes the head with its military offensive

in ukraine, the well bank says the economic consequences for russia could be devastating. and in school at the world's number one tennis player is getting ready to play in just a 2nd tournament of the year. rush is foreign minister, so guy love rob has criticized the use foreign policy chief joseph burrell for choosing moscow of intensifying attacks in east and ukraine because it's not to school. i have to say that what you said, burrow has said against this unprecedented aggressive backdrop, really significantly changes the rules of the game muscle. and it's going to dos to barry who joins us live now from moscow. daughter, why does lateral feel that browse comments change the role of the game? well, because according to the russian foreign minister, this is
6:17 pm
a sharp turn in the language and policy of the european union as well as the western powers. this is because over the weekend or the e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, after visiting ukraine, said that as the result of this conflicts will be decided on the battlefield. and that is something that the russians have not taken as to lightly. they say russian foreign minister saying that the european union is not a military organization. and that the comments that were made by joseph moral a do not really reflect the views that they've heard in terms of the e. you saying that there is still a diplomatic path and they have to resolve this conflict at diplomatically in this is the 1st time the head of the european union. the foreign policy chief is clearly said that at the end of this, a war will be decided on the battlefield. and the russians have said that to the
6:18 pm
military aid, a financial aid that the european union has provided to ukraine is another example of them. it taking a very clear side in this conflict and the russian foreign minister survey lover of saying that the foreign ministry will continue to examine the comments made from the you foreign policy chief and they will discuss it further. this is certainly not the last that we'll hear about this incident at, but it highlights the issues that are ongoing at the moment as a result of what rushes callings this special military operation in ukraine. the ortho president, putin is hosted the 1st face to face meeting with an e u leaders since the war in ukraine began. meeting with the austrian chancellor won't come out of that. well this was a last minute request by the austrian government to after the chancellor call ne hummer, went to ukraine on saturday. a he wanted to come to russia to meet with latter
6:19 pm
reopened. and his request was granted. he arrived in moscow on sunday, and he has just finished a 90 minute meeting at the residence of the russian president and a the, a russian officials have said that they will not issue any statements after this meeting because at the request of the austrian government, it was a one on one private meeting and now at the austrian, a chancellor has issued a statement about his meeting with let me put him saying he felt it was his duty to leave no stone unturned in dead terms of trying to find some kind of a solution to the conflict and urging a humanitarian corridor to be established. but apparently the meeting was not a friendly one. according to the chancellor, he said that it was very a very tough, a very direct and a very difficult. and that a, he really said what he had to say,
6:20 pm
he didn't specify what their reaction was from the russian president and were not likely to hear from the kremlin either. this was a very private meeting, and the chancellor is now back at the embassy here in moscow, and we'll be leaving the russian capital shortly. but this is yet another attempt to, by a european leader to try and convince the russian president to establish if not a ceasefire and ukraine, at least humanitarian corridors. of course, of russian position is very different. it is perceived to be that they are doing everything according to their own rules and that they are not harming civilians in ukraine. the narrative here is that the accusations coming from the europeans and the western countries. is it really part of a larger campaign to try and discredit russia and its position when it comes to defending its own security press in the region? i dos to fire there for awesome moscow. thank you. and as the eas top diplomat was just saying, the fighting has been intensifying in ukraine's east has russian forces make
6:21 pm
a renewed push to control the don last reach. and the president volume, as the landscape told south korea's parliament by video link that his forces already at douglas e luge. beautiful. more than 3000 rockets have been fired by russia on ukrainian cities. but the worst thing is how russia using people to wage this war. the people of the russian federation have to live in abject poverty. they can't afford the basics of decent food and education. they've no guarantee of human rights throughout their whole life. the only chance of improvement could happen by chance alone. but coming into the war, 10000 russian troops was shocked by the normality of ukrainian life by ukrainian cities where the peaceful population lived. there were shocked we had decent food. a huge number of the russian occupies had never seen this in their own life. rob may ride as lie, frost out in western ukraine in liveth. ah, rob says in strong words there from her,
6:22 pm
from the cranes president. yes i think her i just caught the end of that question. i was asking about the situation generally in the country, and president zalinski has been warning her the ukrainians that the next 4 or 5 days are going to be crucial a for the country. with the expected renewed assaulter in the east. he says that tens of thousands of russian troops have now been a mast ready for, for this assault, with the focus seeming to be on the strategically very important city of slow vianza. now this is our ukrainian controls, a city, but it is well into the dumbass region well into the east. it is very close to the, the don yet. so the russian back to self declared a breakaway republic of don. yes. and it is thought that if the russians can take that city, than they would have a chance of driving further and actually splitting the ukrainian forces over in the
6:23 pm
east, which would leave a very large part of them encircled. and so these are some of the better trains more powerful ukrainian units. so that would be as strategically a big blow to ukraine. it's questionable just about what tactics the russians are going to adopt though there's a lot of speculation about this, about whether they will, again, be relying on ground units to engage in close quarters with the ukrainians because that didn't work out very well for them. the last time that that was tried in the north of the country in those battles, north of cave, all, whether they're going to rely more heavily on the vaster as of fire power of their artillery and their rockets. and also bought more air superiority according to zelinski. he fully expects that they will be pounding the cities and towns are of the east of ukraine, turning as he says it a more, a more scenes that we have seen from mary you, paul. and as we've heard when he addressed the parliamentarians in south korea, making a claim there to when the final death toll is tallied from mary,
