in the city. there is nothing. there is no city. and we have nothing to eat. the city is destroyed ah i will welcome this is our see international with the latest world news update a thank you for joining us this hour. let's 1st bring you the latest from the war in ukraine as moscow and kia have ended. the 1st round of ceasefire talks in istanbul, west, some key de escalation steps have been agreed. it comes as russian forces make further advances in the don. yes, republic, city of mario pole with russian lead trips raising their flag over the administration headquarters building at a news conference. russia's defense ministers that the 1st stage of the military operation has been complete and russian forces can now focus on the liberation of

the dumbass. he also accused western states of supplying lethal arms to ukraine with the uncontrolled distribution of those weapons. posing a threat to the european union itself, or russia and ukraine have made a major breakthrough in the latest negotiations with moscow agreeing to drastically reduce the military activity. nicky f but he had very soon it's a decision was made to radically reduce military activity in the key of internal cough directions. and you, just as we proceed from the fact that kia will take the relevant key decisions and conditions must be created for further normal work. well, let's get all the details now from our correspondence estoppel. don't quarter, don't good to see you. now. you've seen the statements from the russian delegation . what do we know about these proposals? either nicky. well, yeah, i'm right here on the on board where the negotiations actually just took place. and

there have been a number of major diplomatic breakthroughs i have to say. as we just heard, the russian ministry of defense did say that russia will severely reduce its military offensive along 2 fronts in ukraine. another thing that was mentioned was that the russian delegation has actually received written guarantees from ukraine that they are willing to become a neutral country and to be without nuclear weapons. on the other hand, we also heard from the ukrainian delegation, but they are that they have put forward a concrete plan to fulfilled their demands for security guarantees which may include adding new countries to the un security council. on top of that, we another, another point we heard from russia is delegation. is that there may be the possibility for an upcoming meeting between the presidents of ukraine and russia. this is something that ukrainian president vladimir zelinski has long wanted and all that has to happen for that to take places for the foreign ministers of both countries to initial a peace deal that was if we have agreed and are proposing

a solution according to which a meeting of the heads of state is possible simultaneously with the initials of a treaty by foreign ministers, especially as meanwhile, it is possible to discuss political details how it's important to note that just the night before these talks began, actually the western media was added again, spreading unconfirmed, jericho claims these fake stories said that russian hardliners were had actually poisoned a number of participants in the negotiations earlier that month earlier this month rather. and one of those people that was mentioned in these stories was the russian billionaire, a roman abramoff pitch, and he here with the story said that his skin was peeling that his eyes were puffed up from being poisoned. and just today at these negotiations, he was seen on video. i myself saw him, he walked right by me looking completely healthy. so since then, the pvc, for example, has issued an apology for what is called a mistake. but as for moscow,

they see this as just one episode in a larger information wor, change him so much from this is part of the information campaign, part of the information war. it doesn't correspond to reality. they are in istanbul now. and this is part of the war and you need to carefully filter the information. so the last story of moscow trying to kill its own people on its own team of the negotiations fell flat board here. but here is actually a real story for you are dennis korea was actually on the ukranian delegation until the secret service is there, killed him. they accused him of treason and did not provide any evidence for that. and no trial took place. they just extra judicially killed him. so it is pretty strange that the western media is accusing rush of doing those things or ironic. i might say they thought he's don't quote a speaking to his line from his stumble, glass intensive fighting continues in the coastal don. yes, republic,

city of marielle, paul, russian forces say they're advancing and i've taken full control over much of the city. dung has troops recently raised their flank over a key administration building. mario po, residence returning to the city after leaving to receive food. and medicine. looked at me, we went shopping for groceries. there is no food in the city. there is nothing. there is no city or those in a we have nothing to eat. the city is destroyed before the offensive began. they destroyed our city. all the shops were plundered. we can't buy anything. there is nothing at all. that also is, are you leaving for the 1st time? yes. well, how was the trip? fine only now there are 2 big gears very long. because we took some water. we wanted to fill up and get medicines. there is no medicine anywhere. how has the situation become here better? yes, the situation. calm down. i mean,

while rushes military has completed its initial objectives in ukraine and canal focus, his efforts on don bass as, according to russia's defense minister who was held a press conference for the 1st time in weeks with get more details. now, from a correspondent to paula lee, a who's been listening in to say a show against comments at paul a good to see you now. what exactly has he said about russia's operation? well, we heard from the minister of defense that the ukrainian army had explained, significant damage. he said that it's a force and if a defense system had been to quote, practically destroyed and that this gave russia a supremacy. he also said that the naval forces of ukraine ceased to exist, and that as far as armed battalions on the ground, these assault forces, they too had faced significant losses. now we did hear from the defense minister that this operation that was being conducted by russia would continue until all its targets had been met. but that it was being carried out in stages taken list and

tell them that she generally speaking the primary objectives of the 1st stage had been accomplished. and the combat potential of the ukrainian armed forces has been significantly degraded. which allows us to focus on the main object with deliberation of dom villa. now, the minister went on to say that moscow with following closely the statement being given by individual nato countries with reference to providing a craft and a defense systems to your claim. and that you can fax that was implemented moscow would respond in kind at the appropriate time. he criticized western countries for providing aid and for being involved in this conflict to time because that isn't it. but it says up at the we considered the position of western countries which is supplying lead to western cranes to be irresponsible. the uncontrolled distribution of these weapons to the population of mercenaries is only aggravating

the situation and could eventually pose a threat to europeans themselves. corrosion, and on the point of mercenaries, he mentioned that around 600 nurse at most, and these have been killed in ukraine with figures suggesting more than 500 have actually left ukraine to return to their home countries. this also comes as the minister made a point of saying that the number of soldiers who were conscripted into the russian army this year was lower than previous years. and that fighting in ukraine would see none of these early or these latest conscripts. soldiers, paula: many thanks for the update on the thought is that paul asleep will correspond that room on concert reports on the destruction in the city with local residents continuing to endure. shelly, we are now heading out to the a sensor. how far mario pull city where the fighting is still apparently it taking our place. according to that, the next people's republican militia and officials,

most of the city has now been liberated from the ukrainian army and nationalists battalions, assault the city of murray. opal has been under shelling for nearly half a month now. the entire town, 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 shelters 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 about a month. so i mean, some friends of mine, i got summer, read some canned goods, water for the nearly 70 people that live in this basement alone. and of course for

the kids, we got some chocolate as well. was good. i just did what i showed on the 20th century. dizzy moody. and is it myself a vehicle? jackson? yeah. docs. vince you got some mazda or next door or thomas york marie viola. she has a little shield, it was it to pull the keys at table. it's just one little swollen belly, believe blue union novel by the skin relieved. what still mamma tito? well, that doesn't keep it in a digital her bringing that ga is all over, kilograms, dyess elk will you give a diagram with nauck? i work as a book, yolande, lily, more children, because i was a, this is a quite say booth. i'm a glorious to the psychology of the country. the couple got really sick. what a tutor was job title, because what was the quote that we have with love ship,

all new chinese learn more to stadium when you had your wellness, qualitative body language to those students who should be sure to me as of who he all middle moved was where he couldn't you sure what he took up so that's what i wanted to comment on. your so good you to one yet up. so do with the nature one yet . what did you mean? i'm not good as to what that don't know. if wellness li just thought be that your bill was over. you. you did that you on your desk. when i get over more, your throat women divided when they what barrel delivery do you want your study? i thought i'm it wasn't said that he was good, i am settled. i don't want the present more of that. give us a, not all of them for the who for said the old, already throwing energy prices driven up further by sanctions imposed against russia over the ukraine. conflicts have both the concerns about the rising cost of living in europe. one u. k. think tank is now warning that around $1300000.00 britons will be pushed into

poverty this year because of the sky rocketing expenses. cues could also be seen outside supermarkets in greece after it reported supply chain disruptions and a rise in demand them at the ongoing conflict in ukraine creek customers were reported. he allowed to buy a maximum of 3 banks of flour and 3 bottles of cooking oil per person. we spoke with some of those affected you buy, you don't 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. all prices have gone up, things are messed up. you cannot buy what you want. as some supermarket shelves are empty. the situation with flower seems to be no better in germany. life of bread may double in price to 10 euros this year, according to a regional farm as association. it also sees

a general increase in food prices by 20 to 40 percent, with some products such as cooking oil expected to completely disappear from supermarket shelves. or thousands of truck drivers have formed roadblocks in madrid, calling for the resignation of spain, strong foreign minister, the skyrocketing fuel prices is the latest developments of protests and astonish capital. over the past 2 weeks, it's economic backlash. the western sanctions against russian. here political analysts rayner office said it's been the best interest to get back to business as usual with most it is. busy also in 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 those sanctions 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 see be at risk for the lower layers of society. if the west moves towards russia and gets into really serious negotiation, then there is a better prospect of course, for our economic development. the u. s. finds itself in an unusual position as even traditional allies publicly condemn washington for hypocrisy over the ukraine war and ignoring the place of other people in conflict zones across the world. i think

rachel blevins has the story. 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 the time turning as regions in asia, africa, and the middle east boys, their frustration with the alleged double standard they see in the west and back more leaders are becoming vocal about their frustrations with the u. s. as it claims to care about human rights where the safety of the building is in certain parts of the world while seemingly ignoring others. the current events in europe have shown blade and 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. and 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 returned to the iran nuclear deal, maybe right around the corner cleaners from egypt. the u. a. e are rock and saudi

arabia met in jordan. i had 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 anthony lincoln, was in attendance. 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 getting to ukraine. we have never seen a global response to that us, nor sufferings. and we've been calling for those that setting get precedent and the regions by have witnessing the brutality against the cdn people, or i can stand ins organic, the libyans organic or again, if stuff guns. meanwhile, in asia, the bush by the us to isolate russia from 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 while the u. s . is calling on ambia to pick aside the country is being courted by both china and russia, and it has yet to 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. are part nuclear 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 then by that claims the, as 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. from the us. diplomat, jim joshua said washington's dominant global role is under serious storage. the u. s. is certainly a superpower. the question is whether the u. s. will try to retain its position as the unit or 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 1990s 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 to 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 as the last person in the world who can realize that the world is changed . and the chinese military base may seem to pay in the solomon islands a tiny state in the south pacific. now straight up the well, the specific location has yet to be can fund the prospect has sparked panic in australia itself. traditionally, the islands chief defense partner, but being aware of the risks right across the pacific. this is why we doubled that development assistance into the pacific. the reports that were saying, i'm not

a surprise to us at a reminder of the constant pressure and threats that present in our region to our national security. but the solomon islands have not only traditionally rely on cambra for defense. australia has also been a primary source of investment in the islands economy and that could now also change with beijing making financial inroads there as well. trying to point out that the solomon islands are over in states with the right to determine their own policies. docile hotel showed al, searching for her emmy, that gentle white wire. some individuals concerned about china, solomon islands, cooperation. when the government and the people of the solomon islands genuinely welcomed, the international community can make a fair judgment. and the people of the solomon islands and other pacific island countries can see this clearly any attempt to disrupt and undermine mutually beneficial cooperation. between china and pacific island countries is doomed to fail. and we discussed western governments fair of chinese encroachment with

a panel of guests solomon islands, together with about 2000 eyes. that because if it's in countries arsenal re nations and they have the right to determine that economic and political relations as well as how they want to position themselves. and i think the key is that china, solomon relations, as well as china, pacific relations in general are very much focused on economic development with mutual benefits and the hearts of such you cannot make relations very hypocritical, that australia can stand the battleship to the south. china sea and other location, thousands of miles away from motors. and at the same time it has a hit if it every time that someone else can thousands of kilometers away from its own what is defined as its fear of influence. but i think that this

particular case, we are over reacting. the only thing that, that this document says is that this government of solomon island will reserve the right to invite chinese police and other units to interfere, intervene in security emergency that may or may not happen in the future. one of the key elements that prompted china to increase its seduction of the solomon island to it's going to because it's been competing with tie one back and forth. i think china will not only secure more agreements with the solomon islands, but i expect pop and guinea not, not far from the solomon islands to follow suit also should be noted the solomon islands have quite a few interesting resources and metals and other raw materials, which i'm sure to be developed federal relations with china definitely will be help

because what china him ring on to the table is economic development. packages of development proposals, greater connectivity of all kinds for australia, they should realize that they were the colonizing country in australia. they really are took away the rights of the original people. australia should really look at its own human records abuses, especially as the original people before they should have any expectation that southwest region. countries would look at australia as an equal country with a perfect human rights record. we hear dan, i from western leaders about the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity and all these jazz. but that principle need to be applied across the board. i'm an island is just a case study,

but it's happening all over the world. it's happening in the middle east. other is happening in the southeast asia. it's happening in latin america. i call these phenomena the phenomena of the sand to which countries these are small countries in finance, of all of a sudden in a position that have to consider the interest of bigger powers. i think we're going to see more tensions rather than few fewer unfortunately. and i mean that there are other island nations, not also in the southern hemisphere and in the same latitude as the solomon islands . i'm talking about diego garcia, for example. it's far away, but it's still the same idea. these old powers want to keep these little states to use as a support for their own interest. thanks for joining us here in asi international will be back in the top of the hour with the latest theater.

ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true or his way in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallow ah

a special operation may be in new trade. however, the war is against the west in general, and against wald order, which we have for this moment. and when the special operation and why are going to

change in future of frame the doses waiting to national relations are posted to, we mean, traditional financial system post and to wait. actually, the countries down with russia, ah, ah, dominion all was signed on february, the 12th 2015. it was meant to end military conflicts in ukraine between government forces and don bass militia groups. the agreement stipulated that both sides would withdraw heavy weapons to an equal distance from the contact line. this left several 100 settlements trapped between opposing forces. local civilians became unwitting witnesses to and victims of the continuing civil war. thousands of people

still live in small towns and villages that have become the new front line. they call this area the greys own a with it was yes. because with

hello. yes, yes we is. are you no worries, are you sure? yeah, you do come with .
