ah, ah, in in russia said sort of taking control of not of your post city whole after a month of intensive fighting. although battles with ukrainian forces are still ongoing. what country is the main instigator of this crisis? everyone knows china lashes out at the american method in the war, claiming it was the instigator of the conflict. it comes with china will hold trade for russia, despite all the pressure on the asian countries by the west. we put the issues to, i guess there's this desire to malign china. china poses sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions and it supports the

position of their trial that we have a multi nature while we have leaving the market for b roacher, india. historically, manually to golf, but russia demand to pay for it and a gin roo both as a g 7. some it takes place in brussels. meanwhile, the rubel begins to close back some of what is lost in the crisis. also in the program, the u. k. is left red faced and demanding. youtube removes a video of a phone call in which the british defense minutes consults with russian prices and give them crucial information on the conversation. it became clear the you k plans to sail it's naval fleet to the black sea. ah,

from moscow to the world, this is our see international. my name is peter scott and these are the top stories, this our as being claim, the administration building of the southern city of murray. you, paul, is now under the control of the russian military. and as war rages in ukraine, china has put the blame on the us, claiming the washington seeks to shift responsibility for his actions on to others . meanwhile, european commission chief of on the lion says the block won't sled russia circumvent sanctions, and use energy supplies as an instrument of blackmail that comes after moscow announced quotes on friendly nations would have to pay for gas in rubles west and sanctions on russia. already put in global food supply chains and the pressure french president manuel macaroni has sounded the alarm over the possibility of an unprecedented food crisis. well, as 1st breakdown, what's happening on the ground is being claimed. russian forces have taken control

over the city hall in murder. you pull. that's after one month of very intense fighting. this is some of the latest footage from the city showing that many of the residential buildings have been completely destroyed. locals claim the infamous as old battalion and the ukrainian forces have been putting civilians at risk targeting the building. in this video, the severe fighting has left many locals caught in the crossfire on thursday, give officials reports that they have evacuated more than 2000. now, do you put residence? both ukrainian authorities have also accused moscow illegally deporting around 15000 to the cities, residents to russia, where the humanitarian situation in the city. dia, russia says it started distributing aid. meanwhile shelling with herd in the northern parts of ukraine, 2nd largest city, called a curve on thursday. the instance left at least 6 civilians dead and more than

a dozen wounded at the car, part of a local shopping mall. that's according to local authorities. the smoke was seen billowing from residential neighborhoods as well. he has to play moscow, but russia has yet to comment on the incident. over in the done yes, republic, local authorities say almost every building has been destroyed or damaged in the city of alma voc. although rebuilding work has already begun local hospital employees earlier, claims ukrainian militias use their health to fire from and 6 civilians died under the shelling. they also say over 300 people who are hiding inside were used effectively as human shields. alicia, listen, i thought they were firing from the 2nd and 3rd floor soon we were hiding in the basement. there were more than 300 people there. all the soldiers knew that we were there, though. i don't know. maybe they were using us as a human shield go along. they did not explain anything, just said that they were told to stay in our hospital exposure. we called for the

troops to leave the hospital territory, told them not to use it as a battlefield, but they refused. like we try to rebuild the hospital and we are getting a lot of help. we're so thankful for to people donate blood, but volunteers help us to fix windows with cellophane doesn't the hopefully we'll get electricity back soon. and finally, we'll be able to work. now, while the conflict has been raging in the dumbass region for the past 8 years, western journalists have been notable for their absence boats one month after a full scale war, roasted in ukraine. a number of reports is of since arrived in the done yet. and luc guns republics to cover the situation. the law correspondence from one culture of spoke to a canadian journalist of bartlett's who explained the reload since of many, to cover the conflicts from the ground before. even just so one of many foreign journalists who arrived here in the dentist to try and see what is actually happening here. so i have um, so oh, is this your 1st time here?

i imagine you've been here several times once before in 2019. i want more time in your left cotton areas north of there. i've been working here for about 8 years and i very rare to saw any western journalist here. why do you think that is and what is your opinion of impression of from coming here now in twenty's? when is it? i think the reason that you saw very few western journalist is because they were all reporting them from the ukraine side from in care of and elsewhere or abroad. not even bothering to come to the region on the agenda of most corporate media journalists is to come here already with an idea in mind. take a few son bites get some shot, especially if there's destruction that fits their narrative very well, and never give any context there. and i think just showing them without any sort of white helmets. type theatrics and stage teens showing a yes showing this kind of scene, but then interviewing people to give context as to why it's like this. i showing the people that we saw in the, the, that a town square who were there to receive aid,

to hear from them what their lives are like was their life really wonderful and democratic and free end of the ukrainian forces. as we're being told in western media, the problem is that, you know, there's a media conglomerate to that, that all have the same message and the same messages. ukraine is, like i just said, democrat bringing freedom to the people. russia is bad and of course the people here that just want to be free of the ukrainian and nazi rule and if their lives and speak the language which happens to be russian. ukrainians on the western media will vilify them in an interview to see and re enormous the former russian presidents and current deputy chairman of the security council. dmitri mate video. so the operation will continue until the goal set by the russian presidents are achieved and answering a question for me. ok, see, he said things were progressing according to plan. the full interview will be at tomorrow, but here's a quick preview. this time, of course,

we're not of the general stuff and i'm not a representative of the ministry of defense, but i will tell you honestly, my friends and acquaintances constantly ask how long the offensive will last. but as i said, we're not infringing came bank meant. but the security council of the russian federation of here, can i ask you, what do you personally think about the course of the operation and how much it actually meets to goals that were announced? spirit. so fail is the operation took place primarily because of the goals that the russian states for itself would not achieve through diplomacy. with the president said this at the start, the course of the operation plans for his implementation are determined by the supreme commander in chief, according to the constitution. it is the president, the president gave his assessments. the operation is progressing according to plan . this plan was prepared and approved by the supreme commander that i will not give any additional assessments. now, it seems to me that this is a completely exhaustive assessment that was given by the president. but it's obvious that the operation will continue until the goal set by the present the

country are achieved. these goals concern the future of ukraine. the status of ukraine is a neutral state. the state that does not pursue an anti russian policy, a state that is not militarized, and a state that should be on normal, neva, careful until the results of the demilitarization and deemed notification of ukraine were achieved. the operation must continue, as it was conceived by the president of the country, as it was decided, ah, the instigator of the crisis, that's how china has labeled the us blaming the west for the war in ukraine. comes on the top of china's actions, clearly contrast the u. s. method to artificially create a crisis to shift responsibility and to make profit from it. however, what country is the main instigator of this crisis? every one knows. well, despite the anger from the west, the position of many asian countries towards russia remains and changed. the

chinese foreign minister is said to continue trade talks with russia in india. and it comes as pressure grows on new delhi to sanction moscow of the conflicts which the indian prime minister nor end remote he has so far refused to do. are these don a call to discuss the topic with my colleague unit o'neill? basically this chinese diplomatic tour is taking place on the backdrop of a massive pressure campaigned by washington. actually, it's basically intended to isolate russia from countries that are trying to maintain good relations with both sides of the ukraine conflict and basically stay neutral as for what we can expect from this upcoming meeting, we can look at one of the main topics that were discussed between china and pakistan, just re, just recently, that's the heretic effect that these anti russians sanctions are having on the world economy. let's not forget that both phasing and new delhi are facing pressure by the united states by washington for publicly coming out against the sanctions. india, for its part,

is one of the world's largest importers of russian military technology. and washington is trying to pressure the country to just entirely switch over to american weapons. another thing that the india recently did was that it bought around 3000000 barrels of discounted russian crude oil. that's another thing that washington was very upset about in terms of china. it reacted very negatively when the u. s. called for russia to be excluded from the g 20 as it was with the g a. so let's take a listen to what both washington and beijing had to say about that. on the question of the g 20, i will just say this. we believe that it cannot be business as usual for russia in international institutions and in the international community. with the g. 20 is a major platform for international economic cooperation with the participation of major economies in the world. russia is an important member and no member has the right to remove other countries as a member of asian, also stood by russia when it tried to pass a un security council,

a draft resolution that all of the other members of the security council actually abstained from so another important point we have to talk about also is that the 2022 meeting of bricks countries is set to come up very soon. and it's widely expected to take place in china. so, while washington attempts to isolate russia from all of these bricks countries, it's actually starting to look like these threats and demands are actually turning these countries against the united states. so there is a very big possibility that washington's pressure campaign is going to end up backfiring. we asked on the list from both countries about just how significant significant those talks between china and india could be regarding the current situation and ukraine. it seems to be major grice is involving all the partners, all the countries offer asia and europe, and the u. s. is open just docs, one to dialogue. and india is also

a started at the moment. in gavin, you not take anything lying down as a lead editorial in china daily today, titled india not obliged to scratch us back. strongly supporting india choice to remain neutral and maintain ties with russia. i'm hopeful that this meeting for shadow is a significant warming of relations between the 2 countries. as it's clear, they have a lot more in common than not, and perhaps points to a new era of friendly relations that will deeply unsettle washington's so called private asia. india has always maintained strategic independence between on the back no, it has and india is going to place you with that approach because that's been the brought your india historically. and i don't see and it won't change in. 4 on doctrine, because india would like to retain that independence because we, how fundamentally believed in a month later was we have no multi one word. china,

hoses, sanctions of all forms. it poses threats of sanctions and it supports the position on a tragedy. now that we have this conflict in ukraine, there's this desire to know, malign china, to associate it with a conflict in some sense. why is the us trying to impose this on, on china and this? i think there are, there are 3 possibilities. the 1st is a few, as i did fears that sanctions regime won't work without china's compliance or 2nd. it wants to expose china to even greater inflationary pressures. if china does imply, and they're like damage china's economy. and 3rd, if china doesn't comply, then again, it wants to add this to this course. it's already got in place of maligning china, essentially blaming the world china and somewhere. and so now that the u. s. has the stabilized ukraine and said this conflict us expects china to abandon their

strategic self interest for fuels. aaron, and neither prime minister mowdy nor president, she can ping or fools you leaders condemned moscow's demands at the g. 7 summit or to president putin ordered the quotes on friendly countries use the russian currency to pay for their gas imports. this would be a unilateral decision and a clear breach of contract, and it would be an attempt to circumvent the sanctions. we will not allow our sanctions to be circumvented. the time when energy could be used to blackmail us is over. this is basically a breach of contract. this is important to understand. i don't think anybody in europe really knows how rubles look like. nobody will pay in rubles the decision to switch to re bowls came in response to the sanctions imposed against russia. it means countries will have to sell their own currencies to get roubles on the russian market to buy gas and oil. experts still don't expect the

move to have any impacts on energy prices. after the decision, the ruble is strengthened against the dollar while you gas prices have spight more than 25 percent. with global oil costs increasing, as well as the result of anti russia sanctions. economist and the theo, of russian investment companies, sputnik, alexander, lossy of things, the president's decision will we can both the euro and the european markets say it's been a union to come to this stuff. and the total economic law against jason was for right now was during the cold war on interesting sure. there is a net or call correspond to call to banks on the bottom. so guess wrong, some companies have no problems, getting doors and euros in b. c is some weakness of euro, i guess the door will continue and,

and kind of sit for international rate and settlement. expect huge problem. well here for next year, and i'm guessing, no, no, i didn't. what sort of crisis we will see. new records will receive some shortage on the when guess market because g and green economy affects negative on the new product in oil. and guess, while the west is targeting russia with crippling sanctions over the conflicts in ukraine is said to land countries in the middle east and africa with a major humanitarian difficulties. russia and ukraine contributes to more than half of all wheat and corn exports to those regions. while french presidents,

manuel microns said, the world community is on the verge of an unprecedented food crisis because of the conflicts. new some autonomy settled in greece, getting closer to an unprecedented food crisis because the middle east and north africa dependent on feeding their population with what's being produced in russia and ukraine. focus your africa and the middle east is a result of having difficulties buying wheat and cereals. some of those countries are 80 percent dependent on russia policy because the charity also farm has warned that food affordability is going to become a huge problem. indeed, the escalating ukraine crisis has been a big blow to the east africa and a crisis at the moment. it has sent prices. oh, key commodities such as a green, i put a laser oil crate, rocketing and we do not, for example, that east africa inputs 90 percent of a tweet from ukraine and russia. so when their prices are rising, explanation,

it's really impacting, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, who are struggling with affording that they are challenges with their global food system. so at the moment, one of the things we are highlighting is the fact that town affordability for debility is the biggest challenge for many people in the region. and so people, especially from low income countries, can not afford the prices, for example, of what it is, such as bread you know, and which are made from wheat and a sense of stress, especially because people, it's coping because have been stretched to gaming it, some or having to resort to skipping meals or buying food on critic to be able to feed their children or having to you know, larry off their young daughters as they look for resources to pay for food and medicine. and while europe is trying to put pressure on russia, ukraine's president followed him, is the lensky is doing the same to nato states,

asking for more military aid, including tags and aircraft. over the u. k. p. m. boys, johnson said the lens, his last request to providing ukraine with one percent of nate, those weapons would be difficult to accomplish logistically. but despite the reticence, ukraine is still being supported by the west, economically and politically. we discussed the landscape moves with fermi funny co day, a leading member of the ruling all progressive congress, policy nigeria, lensky, going to all the parliaments of the west and having audience with them. and they're cheering him on the encouraging and it's not destitute of being funny. is there people that are being killed installed this soldiers that are in the field? he wants to be the hero, but in fact, he's a very, very bad man. he's a man that does all care about the consequences of what he's doing and about the suffering that his people are undergoing and i feel for your people this could have been avoided, but he was pushed into it and he fell free and now he's already so you need

a new leadership, they need an honest, decent leadership for the pragmatic, a ready to ensure that they guarantee the neutrality of ukraine. they give the people of eastern ukraine the right to determine the future where they want to be an independent state or the once we part of russia, the lease quite near a lot of seated. so russia are, they given their undertaking to the entire world that they will never join neutral and they will never be parts of europe. meanwhile, need so itself is currently holding an extraordinary summit over the situation in ukraine. these leaders making a joint statement condemning russia and warning of the consequences of using chemical or biological weapons. joe biden did the same, however, he wouldn't be pushed on. what exactly any response would be us or nato respond with military action? if he did use chemical weapons, we would respond, we will respond if you use it. the nature of the response depend on the nature the use. the same time, washington itself is under fire, over weapons of mass destruction. after the russian defense ministry claimed it's

had obtained dates on a legit, biological weapons developments in ukraine with the latest revelations lincoln. joe biden, son hunter, so these legit, bio labs news just a little the russian defense ministry continues to analyze documents revealing the military biological activities of the pentagon in ukraine. where the incoming materials allow us to trace the scheme of interaction between us authorities with ukranian biological objects. attention can be drawn to the involvement in the financing of these activities of structures close to the current government of the united states. in particular, the investment fund, rosemont seneca, which is headed by hunter biden. rosemont seneca partners, is the firm tied to hunter by the u. s. president san and the russian defense ministry is listing a financial entities that are involved in these bio labs and ukraine. now they also listed george soros is open society institute and open society foundations, which are also involved with them and as well as the ministry of defense of ukraine

and the ministry of health of ukraine and the u. s. department of threat reduction . all of them seem to be tied in with these bio labs and it appears that that, that rosemont seneca partners are the reason that they would be involved. ready because they have a relationship with meta by ota and black and beach, which are main suppliers of pentagon bio lab materials. now our moscow is also coming forward and saying that it appears these bio labs are connected with institutions and research organizations that are related to nuclear missiles. this is what was sat, must have a program of push. the sale of the program is impressive. in addition to the military of the u. s. agencies for international development, the george soros foundation, in the center for disease prevention control are directly involved in its implementation. no scientific supervision is carried out by leading research organizations, including the los alamos national laboratory,

which develop nuclear weapons is part of the manhattan project. all these activities are carried out under the full control of the pentagon. now the over 30 bio labs are accused by russia of being involved in weapons development and trying to developed biological weapons. now the usa denies this and insist they are simply research facilities. and we did here acknowledgement of these facilities existence from us under secretary victoria newland. ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces should they approach the fact that she expressed this concern about their possibly getting into the hands of russian forces. does suggest that these are pathogens that can easily be weaponized and there it does raise the

fundamental question that was raised earlier. why is the defense department funding them? and why do they even exist in ukraine that comes under the auspices of the defense threat production agency in the department of defense? i know of d t, what we call d t s a i. i was affiliated with it at one point during my defense department career, but it was designed to do as a entity was to oversee the de nuclear zation adherence to treaty obligations against the spread of nuclear weapons and biological chemical, biological weapons. so for d t s a to be involved in something like this is rather incredible. in my opinion. over the u. k, the defense secretary has demanded youtube, take down

a video of himself being caught out by a hoax called ben wallace was phoned by 2 russian pranksters, one of whom posed as ukraine's prime minister. a wide range of topics were discussed, including ukraine, potential, launching a nuclear arms program. we would like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from russia. it's a difficult question, but with think to start it. okay. do you think, i mean, i think more than being neutral, russia would really a that for sure where we are know that we know this, of course, but it's the one of the question that we're interested. but if you could help us in this regard, it would be really, really important. ok, well i missed prime minister on all those big questions. i think there was a question that i need to speak to my prime minister that the principal is we will

support ukraine as our friend in the choices you make. birth of the video was censored by the pranks does themselves, as they say, the ben wallace gave away information that would compromise britain's national security. in response, donnie st says the entire video is a risk to the country's security, and it believes that russian state actors were responsible for the prank. that claim was directly rejected by the company g o. information revealed by the defense secretary included plans to move you case ships closer to ukraine. we or we will go into the black. see, i think we're due to go soon and the black. see how close we go to ukrainian waters where the russians currently have a blockade. i think we will be open to discussions about looking at that. i think the whole questions with the prime minister, including the security dialogue security guarantee. we are happy to look at all of them with you, so we're not going to rule anything out. earlier we spoke to one of those

pranksters alex, a study out of who's also known as lexus. and he's just concerned that such a high ranking person can be contacted so easily. some my friends from, from the u. k. they told that he could not be in person who is responsible for the national security of such a great country. like they. okay. and the country with the nuclear weapon, and she's a responsible person for all of those areas. so, and if it's easy to reach came by just private persons. so just you could, you could imagine what would happen if some persons from intelligence try to reach him and to get all the necessary information. so i think i could only advise to be careful in such moments when they are let or they mentioned

that this is kind of propaganda kind of thrashing propaganda. but we did not add, it's a, he's words, he's speech. so if it's a purpose, and so then it's propaganda or secretary was, it's his words. we didn't change anything. well those the main stories this our head with our t dot com or our social media pages for more money, as peter scott ought to be back again. with all the latest in just over 30 minutes, thank you for watching. ah mean

with north atlantic alliance, reconnaissance aircraft, and wolf ships cruising close to rushes, borders have become commonplace along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive

capability near the russian borders.
