i deal with joe biden backtracks on his suggestion that russia's vladimir putin must be toppled from power. as the u. s. president now claimed he was just venting his own personal frustration as expressing more outreach. and i feel and i make no apologies with personal blood. my person with another round of negotiations between russian and ukrainian officials is expected on tuesday, and he stumble with turkish officials expressing hope the meeting could lead to a sci fi, humanitarian disaster, and multiple has local residence tied in their basement from continuous shelling. as they tried to cope with a lack of food and water j a with

while the global community rushes to help your premiums, humanitarian groups are warning that aid is being diverted from other long running conflicts elsewhere in the world. ah, broadcasting from our studios in moscow, this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. let's start by recapping the main recent events in the war in ukraine as russian and their allied dumbass troops claimed territorial advances that amid reports the russian military has destroyed key fuel depos around the ukraine. and in the pacific region, g 7 member state japan has imposed a ban on the export of luxury goods to russia, including premium cars and precious minerals that says ukraine's president zalinski

says western powers should ramp up their sanctions against moscow, including a european ban on russian oil imports, if russia uses chemical weapons in ukraine, the joe biden, once again appears confused about his own views. backtracking on what he said just a few days ago. at a nato summit, about weather us forces would go to ukraine and even his apparent call for regime change in russia. and you're going to see when you're there, your vendor. you're going to see one of the most damaged from you interpret the language that way. i was talking to the troops were talking about helping train the troops in that are the ukranian troops that are in poland. we will respond if you use it, the nature, the response to depend on the nature of the use. it will show your significant response. well, i'm not going to tell you why would i tell you, you got to be silly. i want to know a lot of things. i'm not telling them what the response would be for god's sake.

this man can not remain, not walking anything back. i'm but i want to make it clear. i wasn't then norm right now articulate a policy change as expressing more outreach that i feel and i make no apologies for the person on my, my personal roof. during the last 3 days, the u. s. administration has been scrambling for damage control or to kill them up and comments. we have the white house batt tracking and us officials backtracking. what sounded like a blatant call for regime change from the u. s. president and the u. s. president is supposed to be the head of state who represents the country and articulate correctly what it's foreign policy is. it sounds like the foreign policy of the day is to topple and overthrow. the russian government remove its head of state from power. also important to note that there have been a number of occasions where joe biden, as dead things about the russian leader that he there rather unclear. right. i mean,

he's used very provocative language to describe the russian president, and then in some instances, rolled it back or corrected himself. i mean, he's not very articulate when it comes to explaining what the us policy toward russia really is. you know, let me put, you think he's a killer, i do what price must he pay? the price is going to pay. well, you'll see shirley present by regret calling father. and i know that the president gave a direct answer to a direct question. the more the use was not clear messaging from the president of the united states when it comes to dealing with russia. now, at this point, we have many countries around the world that want to bring an end to hostilities and ukraine. they want the situation with fighting and dying,

taking place to be brought to an end. they want negotiations to resolve the fighting, bring us these fire, and still have so many european leaders, including many members of nato, long time. us allies are not thrilled about what joe biden said, bottle of would you? i wouldn't use this kind of words. if we want to do this, we mustn't escalate neither with words nor with action needed. how help for otherwise was the us president joe button, seeming to cool, seeming to cool for regime change in russia on saturday. but then rowing back in washington yesterday morning with things coming, not helpful to say something to robot, fixing to say for obvious reasons. i think we need d escalation, military de escalation and rhetoric, culture escalation. now if you look at the polls here in the united states, joe biden's approval rating, his tanking americans are not happy about the domestic situation. the crumbling infrastructure, the rising price of fuel, the rising price of food,

a lot of unrest at home, a lot of folks just not thrilled with how the biden administration is doing things . they promised to pick up the pieces from tromping and correct the errors of his mismanagement, or the pandemic that they accused him of. and things have just gotten worse, and a number of americans are wondering if joe biden should and perhaps focus on trying to improve the situation domestically than trying to in and had tanza by the flames of international problems around the world by calling for the toppling and overthrow of the russian president. so now not a lot of clarity coming from washington when it comes to dealing with russia and their response to the conflict. as intensive fighting continues in the coastal city of mar, you pull in the done. yes. republic, russian forces say they are advancing, and i've taken nearly full control of the city done yet. troops recently raised their flag over and administration, building their arches from one coast of reports on the destruction and the local residents who continue to live under. shelly,

we're now heading out to the sensor health murray, local city, where the fighting is still currently taking place. according to the nets, the people's republic of militia and officials, most of the city has now been liberated from the ukrainian army and nationalist battalion, assault. the city of murray loophole has been under shelling for nearly half month now. the entire now and his devastated buildings lie in horrible. he can hear shelling right now as well. it's still continues. the people have been forced to live in a bomb shelters without food, water, or electricity. i'm about to visit one of these bomb shoulders right now. and the year, the stories of the people that had been forced to live on the ground for nearly a month. people in these bomb shelters and these basements live without food, water, or electricity, has been happening for betterments. so i leaned from friends of mine,

i got summer red from canned goods, water for the nearly 7 to people that live in this basement alone. and of course, for the kids, we got some chocolate as well. what, what is it? is this what i shouldn't on the 20th i was in a movie and it it must jackson. yeah. to be honest. my life is so cell because older windows were broken at home. right now we live here. half of the children have already been ill here. i'm sick myself, my throat hurts. my grandmother is disabled some waiting for my mother and brother . they went to the hospital of georgia, it is all over, it's very hard for us. we need food and water. we hope that this will all in soon and everything will be fine. all our homes have burnt. we're waiting for at least some accommodations to be given to us. love ship wearing, complete isolation. we don't know anything where sitting here and haven't come out

. our homes have burned. and so we've come down here. many died. we buried them in the yard. 14 to come so you see how i live? no doubt commence? no bag. nothin. what they grabbed me in a wheel chair and took me here. i'm surviving now. so when is help and that's how we live. my husband is a boy invalid. he's 90 years old and i'm 83. how can they mystery thus like, this is horrible. i mean, it wasn't just that he was. meanwhile, local residents and kids have been cleaning up debris after their homes and cars were damaged by shilling. ukrainian media have reported the area was shelled by russian military outskirts of the ukrainian capital have seen intense fighting and recent days between russian and ukrainian forces. another round of negotiations between russian and ukrainian officials are being held today. this time the talks are in the turkish city of the stumble for more. busy on that we are joined by our

correspondent in the stumbled on quarter. don, what are the expectations from this round of negotiations? while sean round 4 of negotiation have been scheduled here and it's tumble at the presidential residents? this was something that was confirmed by the president of both russia and turkey on sunday of last week. media reports are saying that the main goal of these new talks is to come to an agreement on a potential ceasefire in the conflict. and this is something that russian foreign minister, sergei lab, ralph said there is a chance to come to an agreement with. on the other hand, we did also hear from the head of the russian delegation, who actually shares a more pessimistic sentiment. actually he says that while progress has been made on the more minor issues, the russian delegation just feels like it's really marking time on the major issues . and this is something that was also echoed by the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman murray as a harvey. and if these talks or anything like the ones that took place in the past,

that kind of lack of optimism will certainly be warranted. i mean, the only thing that they've basically come to an agreement with on in the past has been humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to leave the most the areas of them with the most heavy fighting. but this is something that the russian for the russian ministry of defense has said is actually being ignored by the ukrainian neo fascist militants that are fighting, doing most of the fighting in ukraine. now, it's also important to note that the ministry of defense said just several days ago that they've completed the 1st stage of their military operation. this is just over a month after the beginning of it, the ministry of defense says that they've significantly destroyed and they've destroyed significant parts of ukrainian military infrastructure and severely reduced its ability to fight back against russia in this conflict. so we're going to see what both sides, what kind of a freeman say come to here and how that's going to affect the conflict in the near future. all right, don quarter, and thanks we know you'll be staying across us as the situation develops,

appreciate it. humanitarian groups say the outpouring of help to ukraine has been going at the expense of others who need it elsewhere in the world. some groups have been warning that aid organizations have been turning a blind eye to the destruction and suffering in other war torn areas such as in yemen and me and more. and that may lead to drastic consequences. ortiz, policy reports for weeks now, the world's attention has been focused on ukraine's refugees, while they no doubt face a diet humanitarian crisis. what about the millions of others in the same situation? if we can so much about people's suffering and ukraine, we should care as much about people in somalia. the king of faso, south sudan, pakistan where the scale of need is high. it's so frustrating that other countries don't get the level of support they're entitled to were struggling because they don't have the same geopolitical element. mainstream media is also to blame. the ukraine crisis dominates the media spotlight in terms of search terms and publish

materials. it's caused indignation even among western allies, the humanitarian suffering that we have seen in the ukraine, and everyone is talking about it. now. it has been the suffering of lots of countries in the region 40 years, and nothing happened actually. so what is happening elsewhere with the, with

the i think the war in yemen has been ongoing for maybe atl. it's the world's worst humanitarian disaster. and in march the u. n. announced a fundraiser with a target of $4300000000.00. as the conflict enters its 7th year, millions of people continue to suffer in yemen. we need urgent support to continue our work to save lives. but we also need to address the underlying drivers of the crisis. this will help to make people less vulnerable, build their ability to withstand shocks and give them hope for the future. so how much did the fundraiser make? you guessed it? no way near how much is needed. it is a disappointment that we weren't able as yet to get pledges from some we thought we

might hear from yet. the u. s. is asking for it's 2023 budget to include nearly $700000000.00 for ukraine. this kind of selectivity leads to an alarming prognosis unless we ring fence the resources that are dedicated to responding to crises in all parts of the world. we risk once hopefully the crisis in ukraine dies down. a huge backfire of other crises that have become much worse and even more difficult to address. while suffering cannot and should not be compared and contrasted. this pattern condemns millions of people around the globe to an effective death sentence . we heard from a civil rights attorney who thinks that the massive you or support for you grant is linked to the interests of the military industrial complex government and the media have decided to turn this into the big media. tinsley bit right now and put money into it in order to distract from other domestic policy issues. the reason this money is going to ukraine is because the supports the military industrial complex

here in america, they mascot us aid. they send to the ukraine than they buy weapons back for american main factors for those american manufacturers that will eventually just longer money are profitable to help clean water supplies in south america is not profitable for defense. contractors in particular, they help with store governments and gamma fan or to help stabilize iraq. ukraine price, compet hurley, what, what far more likely to me in conflict and 2014 which is nearly let the conflicts but by pumping him the money and puppy and the weapon they are making the conflict with, letting them have to be preventing the types of negotiation necessary to bring the store people in despite joe biden, to talk about a new world order with the u. s. presumably at the center, washington appears to be quickly losing influence in the middle east. and asia, as countries traditionally influenced by the us, are now shaping their own courses beyond western policy making or cheese ritual. blevins comments. the united states is the world's largest economy and it has been

decades in the role of the world's policeman. but will that be the case for much longer and is an attack turning as regions in asia, africa, and the middle east voice, their frustration with the ledge double standard they see in the west and back more leaders are becoming vocal about their frustrations with the u. s, the claims to care about human rights for the safety of civilians in certain parts of the world while seemingly ignoring others. the current events in europe have shown bleeding double standards, even in the middle east, where the u. s. has been heavily invested and has spent trillions of dollars over the last 20 years in the name of this war on terrorism. top allies in the region are now concerned that the u. s. is too distracted by russia and ukraine and to return to the wrong nuclear deal may be right around the corner, leaders from egypt. the u. a. e are rock and saudi arabia met in jordan, head of an unprecedented meeting between the foreign ministers of the reign. egypt,

the u. a. e morocco and jordan and israel over the weekend, while us secretary of the antony blinking wasn't attend this. he was not in charge . the latest jobs come as leaders in the middle east emphasize the need to give their own countries the level of global attention as a western world is giving to you. we have never seen a global response to us, nor sufferings. and we've been calling for those that setting get precedent in the regions by having witnessing their patella t again, it's the syrian people or i can't stand ins, organic. the libyans, organic, organic stuff, guns. meanwhile, an asia, the bush by the u. s. i fully russia for the rest of the world is instead serving to bring countries like china and russia closer together as they have both been the target of intense pressure from the us. china and india share common interests on many fronts. for instance,

the west recently pointed the finger at india for reportedly considering buying russian oil at a discounted price. but it is india's legitimate right to develop economic and trade relations with russia based on its own national interests. and all the us calling on a me to pick aside because your is being courted by both china and russia and it has yes, you agree to washington demands to condemn moscow. despite pressure as a fellow member of the quad security alliance, africa has also resisted attempts of influence from the u. s. was 17 nations abstaining from the un resolution to condemn russia and one voting against it. african leaders had criticized the double standards of the west and noted the ways in which nato's eastward expansion, fuel, the current conflict. the majority of mankind that a non white support, russia stand in ukraine, putin is absolutely right. when the u. s. s. r part nuclear armed missiles in cuba, in 1962, the west was ready to blow up the world over it. now,

when nato does the same, they expect russia to do differently. so as the us called on the world, the turning of russia and president bible claims the ushering in a new world order. are we seeing the world turn their backs on the u. s. instead and could then new order, the one in which the u. s. is no longer at the top of the food chain in washington . rachel blevins, archie, former us diplomat, gym john trust thinks the american establishment is living in the past. and its prospects for maintaining a unilateral hedge money are questionable. the u. s. is certainly a superpower. the question is whether the u. s. will try to retain its position as the unit polar. as the only superpower that dominates the entire world in a hedge, a monic fashion, or whether it can take a step back to being one of a number of major powers are still living in the 990 s, where the united states is the only voice that matters in the world together with

our satellites, like the european powers, japan, south korea, australia and so forth. and they realize there are other centers of power, but they consider that a problem can be overcome an obstacle to be eliminated. first, russia and then china. i think there's a lot of speculation that binding himself is not crucial of anything you simply a mouth piece for an establishment that has lost touch with reality that lives in the past. and biden is the last person in the world who can realize that the world has changed. european powers have been turning to gulf states in an attempt to replace russian fuel imports. but those middle eastern countries appeared reluctant to do something that could harm that their partner. moscow within the open plus organization that the u. s. energy minister has described russia as serving in a central role on global energy markets and questioned the prospect of phasing out russian supplies to europe, cutters, energy minister,

while saying his country would stand in solidarity with european countries by continuing to supply them with fuel rejected, imposing sanctions on russia, oil and gas, saying the energy sector would remain outside of politics. time within the range of 30 to 40 percent of the total supply of gas comes from russia to actually say that we, you know, europe can, can replace that guess. it's not practically possible. it was stress once again, none of the guys produce gulf countries that is in gas producing such as capital point cents, such as the united arab emirates will be in a position to replace the russian natural gas delivery for the your market. that's the fact. i mean, you have to look at the figure in the is largest economy, germany, most energy companies have rejected russia's request to pay for their gas imports

in roubles. according to chancellor of schultz, his remarks came after moscow demanded that so called unfriendly countries switched their payments to russia's national currency. different, most german buyers of russian gas will continue to pay for it in euro's, in accordance with the currency fixed in their contracts are done in russia account . so for about 40 percent of the use gas imports. but amid the conflict in ukraine, for you wants to cut its dependence on russian energy and has recently inked a deal for expensive liquefied natural gas imports from the us. that's as european powers project, moscow's request for russian energy to be paid for in roubles amid claims. it would be a breach of current contracts. russia has responded by saying its western sanctions that have hindered moscow's access to foreign currencies. former austrian foreign minister, current case all thinks that european economies will suffer from the measures

against russian imports the ship partnerships that have been recently size and breathless between the u. s. government and european commission. when you look at the figure, it tell you that the figure that will rank in that energy partnership, only a percentage of what you import just really need. and any phasing out of russian gas imports will take years. it will take, at least for 5 years. it will not be done within this year, and so if there is some sort of suspension of delivery because of a dispute over the terms of contract from whichever side whether the sinks could become difficult. already soaring energy prices driven up further by sanctions imposed against russia over the ukraine conflict have bolstered concerns about the rising cost of living in europe when you casing tank is now warning that

around 1300000 britons will be pushed into poverty this year. because of the skyrocketing expenses, of cues could also be seen outside supermarkets in greece, after reported supply chain disruptions, and to rise in demand amid the ongoing conflict and ukraine. customers were reportedly allowed to buy a maximum of 3 bags of flour and 3 bottles of cooking oil per person. we spoke with some of those affected by the supermarket shelves are lacking flour and its price has gone up. i remember a month ago the price of flour was $0.80 per kilo, and now it costs $1.00 euros. rents are also going up. the electricity bill is increasing while salaries are going down. it will. all prices have gone up, things are messed up and you cannot buy what you want. as some supermarket shelves are empty. the situation with flour is no better in germany. a loaf of bread may double in price to $10.00 euros this year according to

a regional farmer's association. it also foresees a general increase in food prices by 20 to 40 percent, with some products such as rape, c o l, a popular cooking ingredient expected to completely disappear from supermarket shelves. the protests have awesome rocks in the spanish capital and thousands of truck drivers formed a barricade in madrid to protest against skyrocketing fuel prices. they displayed banners hung their horns and demanded the resignation of the transport minister. one banner read the oil companies are ripping us off and the government is playing the fool. we heard from geo political analysts who confident that despite pressure from washington, you leaders are interested in lifting sanctions against russia. it is also an interest of the western government to lift those sanction sooner or later because they are suffocating themselves as soon as the voter,

the regular citizen recognizes that the price for the sanction had to be paid by the citizen itself. those in government may fear losses in popularity and remains to be seen. what will happen next winter if the gas supply crisis will have the thought or if it will be deepened by those sanctions? and by the unwillingness of the g 7 countries to pay a gas supplies in roubles. so there is a really tangible and cbs risk for the lower layers of society. if the west moves towards russia and get into really serious negotiation, then there is a better prospect of course, for our economic development that does it for me to stay with us throughout the day

as we continue to cover the war in ukraine. ah, ah, ah, i mean with to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy

confrontation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk ah mm hm. mm. mm. hello and welcome to, well, the part. some mind and good instincts have always been, must have qualities for those thinking and willing power. but the definition of good or even effective politics is much harder to formulate with russia and the

west. now trading accusations of irrationality and even madness over their expenses in ukraine. is there still any common ground to be reached? or to discuss that i'm now joined by henry that on do you know the school, all governments and politics at the state institute over international relations? is there something that is great to talk to you? thank you very much for your time. thank you for your invitation. now the launch of the russian military operation in ukraine came as a surprise not only do many in the way, but i also think too many in russia, including myself. it is true that ukraine over the last couple of years, was increasingly being militarized. it is true that it presented an objective security challenge for russia, but did you personally believe that these issue, this problem will be addressed in such a way for sooner or later.
