days passed between the fifth and sixth sanction packages, a situation on except the bow for us. meanwhile -- a situation unacceptable for us. meanwhile, emmanuel macron gave his reaction. >> concerning the war in ukraine, firstly, a sixth package of sanctions, which is important. it bans and to section three televisual journals and to cut the biggest bank off from the swift system which holds 35% of the russian market. and for the first time, to sanction oil. mark: that is the headline, the last word out of emmanuel macron's mouth, the section on -- sanctioning of russian oil. how is this being seen in

moscow? let's bring in our correspondent. as far as ukraine is concerned, this is a much awaited move. what are the likely repercussions in russia? >> russian officials have remained defiant. e russian president messaging in a telegram that this embargo is motivated by hate towards russiand all oits inhabitants. not pulling any punches there. the russian representative in vienna, predictably saying russia is going to find other markets elsewhere. we are just going to go on with things. the immediate consequences are on the markets. the today strengthened from 66 to 62 to the dollar, despite the embargo. oil prices have risen, peaking at $124. so, clear impact there.

this is on top of a 55% raise this year already. politically this is a big show of unity from the eu in getting those so-called rebel countries on board, such as hungry, to -- such as hungary, to support the deal is big. it will have conch -- fuel costs are rising already. russian oil is cheaper than brent crude. that could cost the eu up to $2 billion a month extra to make up that difference. so this is not a case just of russia being damaged, putin's so-called war machine being targeted. this will have impacts on the market and the continent as well. mark: one wonders what might happen next. vladimir putin might have some kind of response lined up. talking more sanctions on

oligarchs, baking districts, and is unprecedented embargo on russian oil. daniel: indeed. first and foremost pressure is going to have to make up lost markets. it is going to have to look east to sell its oil to india, china. both of those countries have been reluctant to criticize russia in the wake of what the kremlin calls its special military operation in ukraine. both have been wrapping up -- ramping up purchases of russian oil. that cannot last indefinitely. indian is at peak capacity. this is not something that can carry on in a permanent state. pressure will take a financial hit. it is estimated russia could be earning around $8 billion a month by exporting $3 million -- that revenue is lost. that will cost russia billions

in lost revenue. we are looking at a principal of mutually assured destruction, but in energy. we saw that would nuclear war during the cold war, with both sides sizing each other up, seeing who blinks first. russia could cut oil production. it is estimated it could have an impact on russian production around 10% already. that could send prices rising even higher. we note opec has been reluctant to raise production saying we cannot wake up the russian energy sanctioned taken off the market. that will have a further impact on energy markets in the eu and globally. so we have to see what happens not so much in summer, but towards the fall and winter when the cold kicks in, energy is needed, and what safety markets are i in. because at the moment it is the markets where this battle will be played out. mark: daniel hawkins, thank you for bringing us that insight into the thinking of certain

parts of russian society on this issue. namely, what is happening in the kremlin. we are watching for development there. let's bring you more on what is happening on the ground in ukraine, and news coming in, ukrainian forces having some success in a southern city at advancing and parts of the kharkiv region east of kyiv. this is president zelenskyy saying this. ukrainian forces holding out also in done at, -- donetsk. moscow has made -- both sides say russian forces control between one third and one half of the city of severodonetsk. russia's separatist proxies acknowledging capturing it was taking longer than hoped, in spite of one of the biggest ground assaults of the war so far. reporter: a building in flames. in ruin. signs the front line in ukraine's east is inching closer

to the town. people living here have grown used to the sound of shells exploding. they say nowhere is safe. >> there was an explosion, then the house began to shake, and a scaffolding fell to the ground. we didn't even have time to understand what was happening. >> it falls on both sides. they have to come to an agreement sooner or later, because it is always the innocent people who suffer. >> yet the worst could still be to come here. only a river separates them, a city that has become the epicenter of russian efforts to capture the eastern bombast. intense fighting. the power and communications have been cut off. further from the front line, the war is creeping closer.

some here even accuse president zelenskyy of abandoning the east. >> he forgot about donbass. he only cares about his key. reporter: others have already left on special evacuation trains organized by ukrainian authorities, as the russian assault grinds on. they have no choice but to flee west. mark: much more on the situation in ukraine between now and midnight, paris time. next, the chairman of liverpool football club is demanding an apology from the france sports minister over the treatment of the club's supporters. according to median liverpool, he wrote he was in utter disbelief after the minister blamed liverpool for helping to cause chaos at the mansion paris. words supported by the french interior minister. the french government said massive ticket fraud contributed to the mayhem on saturday. here, charis garland with this.

reporter: sticking to his line of defense, the french interior minister blamed liverpool fans for the chaos the champions league final, without giving evidence. he said more than two thirds of liverpool supporters had fraudulent tickets. >> there were between 30,000 and 40,000 more people outside in the stadium can seat, which is 80,000. both with and without tickets, with fake tickets or none at all. these problems only happened with liverpool. reporter: tuesday, it was revealed the french government had been warned about fake tickets expected at the match, a letter sent by police four days before the final said some supporters would try to use them to access the stadium. saturday's game between liverpool and real madrid was delayed by over half an hour, with fans of the english side seen waiting in huge queues,

while some including children were teargas to by police. the french sports ministry has ordered an investigation into the incident to be completed within 10 days. while european football's governing body has commissioned an independent inquiry. >> the comprehensive review will examine decision-making, responsibility, and behaviors of all entities involved in the final. upon receipt of the findings, uefa will evaluate the next steps. reporter: liverpool football club has slammed the treatment of fans by security forces, and accused french authorities of jumping to conclusions without properly investigating. mark: terrible scenes on saturday. here to respond is the voice of liverpool fans. we like to give people who don't have a voice, a voice here. head of communication of the liverpool football club french supporters club, joining us from

england. thank you very much for being with us. to respond to the remarks, 40,000 ticketless fans, true or false. what do you think? camelia: outside the stadium, false. there were a lot ofans but i think the majority stayed in the parking lot and had a great time until they got teargas. mark: by 2100, only 50% of the fans were in their seats. true or false? camelia: probably true because they were stuck outside the ground like i was with the gate being closed when we arrived nearly two hours before kickoff. mark: you got there two hours before kickoff, and you did not get into the ground time for kickoff? camelia: i got in time for kickoff, but with the delayed kickoff. i got there five minutes before the delayed kickoff, but i arrived, got through the first

check probably around 7:30, something like that. mark: of this kind of ilk with this kind of crowd, it aims there was an issue with organizing. 70% of liverpool tickets were forgeries, he says. what do you say? camelia: false, i am sorry. the majority of people had real tickets that had been checked. my tickets were not checked, but the majority were checked. i can stand by the things i have seen. mark: what do you think about going off script a little. the fullback of your team, giving a ticket to his friend, t hey tell him it is a fake. what do you think about that? camelia: there is a serious

issue at the turnstile. what issue, i'm not sure. but some of my friends had to scan the tickets five times to be able to go green and be able to go in. in that case, i'm keen to trust the people i know are telling the truth. we're andy robinson's friends and a lot of other fans have the same issue. mark: true or false, liverpool football club after fans to the mercy of chance, no guidance, no help. camelia: false. they did a lot to create this fans own knowing a lot of people would travel to france to be part of the atmosphere. they had a load of information on all their channels to make sure people were informed. they shared guides with the sports club. they used various means of communication with the fans. i was in the fan pack, and when

it ended we told people if you don't have a ticket, please state there mark: importantly, police would have sent officers along to guide the club? all that kind of thing? calia: usually you would think, but having been to games with liverpool away just to watch the game of football already, there are usually a lot more stewards and police guarding people when they arrived and protecting people from various crime that could happen outside the stadium. mark: what would you want from the french government? i take it the minimum think is an apology. camelia: an apology. everyone at liverpool ftball club knows it took 30 years to get the truth of hillsboro and what happened, and i have friends who are hillsboro

survivors who have to relive what happened on saturday, and that is not acceptable. mark: camelia abdenbi-bohills of the liverpool fc french supporter club, speaking to us from england, but it is the french supporters club she is chair and spokesperson of. thank you so much for sharing your experience that you had on saturdayt the champions league final. let's quickly now bring in some sports news from roland garros. what has been happening? >> a huge match, the most anticipated one. novak djokovic versus rafael nadal, tonight is the 59th. currently djokovic leads nadal 38-20 head to head, but nadal leads on clay. so the terrain favoring nadal in the circumstances, and he showed it in the first set. he won 6-2. we're in the second set.

we unfortunately don't have pictures yet. it is a feisty encounter, and we will see if nadal can ultimately reach a 22nd grand slam. mark: that is exciting. you would think liverpool had won something the way you are smiling. more from him later, and more for you later about nadal versus djokovic at roland garros, just a short goal could from our studios. the eu acts to stop russian oil sales. it's the sentient ukraine has been calling for the start of the invasion. ukraine admits a major part of the city of severodonetsk is tonight under russian control, but the city is not surrounded. the regional governor says russian shelling has made it impossible to deliver humanitarian supplies or evacuate residents. liverpool football club is demanding an apology from the french interior minister. he says he has solid the

repetition of fans with distortions of the truth. the aftermath of the champions league final, where real madrid beat liverpool to lift the trophy with big ears. the aftermath of that final becomes increasingly angry and bitter by the day. there is to be another inquiry to report within 10 days about what happened outside. as we say, liverpool football club wants an apology for the words said by the french government, the interior minister, the sports minister, about the behavior of their fans. we're watching for all developments on that. time for business. european leaders have taken a significant step, agreeing to phase out russian oil imports. but there is a lot of skepticism about how effective this latest sanction will be. this of course was the sanction ukraine has been calling for since the start, the sanction on russian oil. yuka: it has finally come but

there is skepticism abound. eu leaders agreed to gradually reduce imports of russian oil by 90% by the end of the year. it is a significant step but some analysts say this compromise deal to phase out imports ran out -- rather than abounding -- abandoned them out right give russia time to adjust. it will hurt european consumers more than the kremlin. let's take a listen. >> clearly, russia is finding them, which are usually india and china. it depends on wt the pce will be of this oil. currently russia is telling its own oil a $35 a barrel discount to india and china. if this goes on clearly this will be hting its curncies. butt is a fine balance we have to find because it oil in general skyrockets, so if brent

oil price goes very much up, it means russian oil as well go up. so the sanctions will have almost no effect. yuka: the wall street journal has reported that some members of the opec oil cartel are mulling the idea of suspending russia's participation in their deals. exempting pressure from opec plus could pave the way for other producers to significantly increase output, something the u.s. and europe have been calling for. for now, the group is set to stick to its modest plan and to raise output by 432,000 barrels per day in july. on that newspaper report, prude prices pulled back some sharp gains made earlier in the day from the eu announcement. brent still up by about 1%. inflation in the euro zone has risen to a record high. tumor prices indicate --

soaring energy prices resulting from the war in ukraine coming on top of a post-pandemic supply crunch are making life more expensive for people. reporter: the prices at the checkout desk and at the pump are going up across the 19 countries of the euro zone. that is partly due to the war in ukraine and the long-term impact of the covid pandemic on global supply chains. eurozone inflation in may hit a record 8.1% year on year. in terms of the largest three euro zone economies, france is at 5.8%, italy 7.3%, and in germany, 8.7%, the highest in decades. it's being fueled by a sharp rise in energy prices which across the eurozone have jumped 39.2% year on year, highlighting

just how much the war on the global energy crunch is making life more expensive for the eurozone's 343 million people. energy inflation is likely to remain high after the eu agreed to embargo most russian oil imports by year-end. motorists in france say the price hikes are making them think twice. >> i drive every day and i fill up once a week. it is already expensive, so if it goes up even more it will be tough. >> this could affect all the people going on holiday. when you see the price, you think about the cost of making long journeys. reporter: inflation is adding pressure on eurozone officials to raise interest rates from ultra low levels to reign in the rising prices. but that could stifle chances at any economic recovery. yuka: stock market indices in the euro zone dropped following the fresh inflation data. wall street shares closed the

final day of may in the red, although some tech shares like amazon rallied. the dow and s&p both made small gains for the month though. inflation remain the focus, as president biden met with the chairman of the federal reserve jerome powell to discuss inflation at the white house. and that is it for business. mark: thank you very much. great to see you. let's cross the studio for truth or fake. kathleen is with us. we have been looking at the champions league final. the controversy pre-match and post-match. you have another level of what is being said, true or false, tell us what you have got. catalina: there has been an overwhelming amount of posts and images on social media shown the violence. many are real, but some are fake. we have a couple of examples here. before moving on, a warning for our viewers. we are going to show some violent images. here is the first video we found on this account, the truth

offends, claiming to show violence outside the stadium, shared mostly onwitter by english and spanish speaking accounts. posted may 29, one day after the champions league final match. it has gathered over 125,000 views. we can see a man on the ground violently attacked by a group of people with metal pipes and objects. this read, this is what british fans experienced. immigration lives in impunity, a mob of immigrants randomly assaulted a young man. multicultural contributions is what is cited. this is less than five kilometers away, so claiming that violence took place beyond the gates of the stadium. this video was shared by other british fans were violently attacked and assaulted by a mob of north african immigrants. mark: this is a really horrible

video. did this actually happen? catalina: so, these claims are simply fake and out of context. we fnd the original video in this publication from september, 20, when a young 16-year-old boy waviolently attacked during a rival gang confrontation. so the district mentioned in the original tweet. nothing to do with the violence that took place here. just adding oil to the fire. mark: can see in the video it was nowhere near the stadium. catalina: and we can see from this account on e video, he posted them chanting, france does not belong to the french, coming out to pickpocket. adding oil to the fire with these racist claims that african immigrants are bad. mark: it's absolutely evil, the whole thing. so, we can conclude that this is

fake? because what we saw is a real vi deo, but it has nothing to do with the champions league final. we saw the african migrants, it is a real video. catalina: completely out of context. we're going to be moving to another example where we are going to show fans allegedly breaking into the stadium. on this occasion we have this video to show. it was posted in the publication in their arabic language news channel, with a compilation of scenes that put together with what was a tense atmosphere outside the stadium before the start of this liverpool match, where we can see alleging fans breaking into the entrance. let's take a closer look at this video. the caption says the moment the fans stormed the gates of the stadium. we can see more than 20 people that users claim to be champions

league fans violently breaking into these gates. mark: that is not a gate there. catalina: for those who know the stade de france, these are not the gates. mark: why was this posted by sky news arabic? these are reputable broadcasters? what are they doing posting this kind of stuff? it is so irresponsible. catalina: another video placed out of context. we found the original video posted here from the daily mail on january 2019 titled, cheapskate, when a crowd of 25 sprinted through a ticket gate on barcelona's underground. they were able to squeeze through this ticket gate with one fare. mark: i thought i recognized the catalan word on the sign. it all makes sense. thank you very much indeed. and thanks to you for watching.
