[000:00:00;00] who a visit with the refusal of a number of western countries from having normal cooperation has already hit millions of european is provoking a real energy crisis. accuses the west of provoking energy k l. some long at the citizens, due to its refusal to trade with russia. also, i have a german officials warrant reserves will only last until the autumn, if russian ga, supplies are cut from the members mold. returning to coal, austria's former foreign minister, also states europe. sounds that cut itself off from russian energy may be costly. in fact, be much larger then just

a minute that people might freeze on all 3. it's not about with, i would see everybody list that everybody's are ready to run to 1000 ukrainian. marines reportedly surrendered to russian lead forces in about some members of kias nationalists. battalions try to flee the popular brand in the keys on bus. r t follows russian troops as they see suspected. radicals here is one such suspect. he was found parenting sneaking nationalist position. she lives in play with the odds of battalion neo nazi with across the globe around the clock. they c r t. i'm you know, in the mail. let's del, straight into our mid week top stories, a lot of more potent house war and not russia can easily redirect its energy

exports to nations that need them. the president of the event while western countries are suffering from rising prices on inflation loss. go ask quotes, alternative options, any of those that wouldn't offend no more. to the refusal of a number of western countries from having normal cooperation, including russian energy resources, has already hit millions of europeans provoking a real energy crisis. this is also reflected in the us prices and inflation is rising everywhere that is unprecedented for these countries. and of course we also face problems, but we have alternative options and new opportunities are opening up for us. as for oil, gas and coal, we will be able to increase their consumption in the domestic market, stimulate and deep processing of raw materials, as well as increase the supply of resources to other regions of the world to where they're really needed. on that point, the head of germany's federal network agency, which overseas,

the country's energy needs recently claim that if russian gas applies are cut by berlin, germany's reserves will only last until the autumn, former austrian foreign minister car. and can i sell told r t. it would be hard for germany to deal with the consequences of cutting energy imports from russia. the impact would be much larger than just the old metaphor that people might freeze on all 3. should bear in mind that it's also all about the commodity, natural gas for electricity generation. german government is taking also administrative, legal steps in preparing a gas supply. emergency situation is even talking about national, i station conference cation all russian property. we can't imagine, i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is built up against

germany within the european union. it's not only from us, from your brain or by the public opinion. it's really from within the european union really is to right now is how will it be accomplished that germany resigns to the fact that it has to agree on that imposed oil and gas embargo by the european union. it's not about a very long time. i would say everybody was stuff and everybody's already suffering the views of car and can i saw no, despite the star warnings over its energy reserves. burly in this still seeking ways of completely stopping energy imports from russia, saying it's going to give up on gas in 2 years and cold before the independence from coal can be achieved the fastest by autumn. as far as oil is concerned, we intend to do that by the end of the year and gas by the summer of 2024. we are

currently checking how to create the necessary conditions in order to speed up the process even more. to give you a sense of what we're talking about germany currently in ports, 55 percent of its natural gas from russia unfurling has acknowledged it will be difficult to rapidly remove russian energy sources from its supply chain while the u. s. and the you recently announced their intention to boost liquefied natural gas applies to europe by the end of the year and a mid wave after wave of sanctions on russia. so me, you members of being forced to reconsider their green plans and refer to the using code as they work to cut the reliance on energy from the east. here's our teeth double quarter across the european union painful losses for the green agenda. and frances recent presidential election, the greens didn't even get the 5 percent needed to reimburse campaigning costs. and in germany, a choice between harming vladimir putin and sticking to sacred green principles. spoiler alert,

berlin chose the 1st one and decided to return to call so much for what world leaders were saying just a few months ago. 1 countries are turning their back on coal. the end of coal is in sight. on the contrary, coal is returning with a vengeance. why? the west is willing to go to any lengths to heart russia over its special operation in ukraine, even if it means playing dirty and replacing russia natural gas, not with solar panels, not with wind mills, but with dirty old coal. there is a temporary role for coal, which we had hoped would be out of the energy mixed by the end of this decade. but it will stay longer. we will need it until we find alternative sources until the time even the greenest government will not phase out coal, italy, romania, bulgaria, greece, among others are all reviving their call industries, even the world's greenest utility company, or stead is now stock piling. coal, however much we hate it, we are very likely going to see a temporary increase in our coal use compared to the trajectory that we have been

in. for countries that can't extract enough call at home, they're already ramping up imports from coal, extracting countries like the u. s. australia and indonesia. $27.00 countries said they would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 55 percent by 2030, and they're back in the coal mines. it looks like the use head is in the sand at the same time because brussels is telling everyone all as well. what we will do in the next couple of weeks is work towards what i call the re power you initiative. and as part of that, we want to accelerate the energy transition. the core of what i'm offering is a long term strategic relationship that starts with ellen. g. then quickly moves also into renewables, especially really hydrogen shipping american l n g, across the atlantic to save the environment really with the environmental harm caused by chilling shipping and re gas defying natural gas. these countries might as well just use coal. just ask the experts building even more l n g export terminals would lock in fossil fuel infrastructure and pollution for decades to

come. so who wins out from the west? stubborn attempt that spiting moscow. the fossil fuel executives who progressives have hated for the past several decades. cold prices are likely to rise further, as demand increases. oh, how quickly principals are gone with the wind when the west doesn't get its way. the can other story to bring you today. russia's finance ministry has denied allegations of the country has officially defaulted on its foreign dead. moscow insists it has enough reserves to meet the obligations and is willing to pay. it's ready to prove it. and course, of course, we will sue because we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that invest is received their payments. we will presenting caught up bills confirming our efforts to pay both in foreign currency and in roubles. it will not be an easy process. we will have to very actively prove our case despite all the difficulties and credit ratings agency s and p has lower rushes foreign currency rate thing to select the,

the full that means s and t believes or increased risks that moscow will meet some of its foreign obligations that's after russia decided to make its regular euro bonds, payment, and roubles last week, rushes dollar reserves are currently frozen to, to sanctions. well, an international law expert that we spoke to expect plenty of legal challenges from moscow in the near future. yeah, the usual, i think in the future we'll see court proceedings where it's possible to prove that russia had the capability to pay and it had enough preserve to meet the external obligations. but this capability was artificially blocked. there will be lawsuits proving the false measure russia found itself in and that it did not attempt to evade from its obligations as lawsuits by foreign actors against the russian finance ministry. well, the credits will have to go to russian court. i doubt anybody would do this in the near future so far, even if we speak about technical default,

there will be nothing critical for russia. international markets are anywhere close for russia due to the sanctions. i see that while she's already doing a lot to inform its creditors that it is willing to meet obligations even during the most extreme sections regime top russian officials repeatedly say that while she's ready to pay, just give us a chance. if you give no chance, let us pay roubles, if you do not want rouble swell, how else can russia meet the obligations? ah, no battles for the dunbar. city of murray pal, continue to rage more than a 1000 ukrainian marines are reported to have surrendered with the bulk of the fighting focus around a major steel plant. while some suspected members of a neo nazi a's off the tony and have apparently been trying to escape the bottle grind or senior corresponded morocco. see if can tell us more from the ground. ukrainian forces surrounded and merry. you will have begun to crack almost every day,

more surrender sometimes and ties squads and platoons. others shock off their uniforms and try to get out the skies the civilians. this is something that happens day in they out here in mario pl civilians or a parent civilians emerge usually in ones or twos. from the unlikeliest places they emerge the claim to be civilians. but then their stories don't match. who they are . they seem, you know, very unlikely to the local fathers who, who are detained them, who arrest them. usually they are searched on the spot, sometimes stripped to check for bruises for bruises from rifle butts, as well as for bruises or mugs from heavy bullet proof vests. if you wear them for weeks on end, they leave marks. invariably, at least this will with this always happen. so they're taken away for questioning. and very often it is found that yes indeed, this was

a fight to the russian side has least and least of those serve the nationalist battalion, such as as off battalion here is one such suspect she was found apparently sneaking near nationalist position. you're going to lose that found she raised all manner of red flags, her behavior, her mannerisms, her clothes, her very speech. through me, you lose your food. she told us very, very brave woman merging from the as of steel, industrial complex, which is under the nationalist. she is most likely fighters here tell us a sniper, the us off battalion, new nazi battalion. they use a lot of women because women have a quality, generally speaking, of course that it can be very patient. they can sit and watch through a school at the same intersection. for example, for many hours. this is something that you know, has be known for very a very long time. it only got worse,

says she told her story. it was full of holds. and the inconsistencies. yes, i don't have any registration that can't be true. yes, it can. for 25 years. you haven't been registered anywhere. yes, that's right. here are all my documents. i'm telling you you're going to lose that phone. it's not worth filming me. even so if you need something, boys, just give me a car, please. where are you coming from the morgue or the school from them or? but you just said you were coming from the school. i said i was going to find my sister. don't you try to confuse me? you won't be able to confuse me. trust me, everything's fine with my memory. enough, red flags were raised to warrant detaining her. she was driven to a base for further questioning. there we met another man, his story, even more remarkable here with,

with with turn questioning, a huge number of images were found on whom, not the simple last lawyer in missouri, very written russian with the meeting because you say your wife downloaded it. my wife downloaded it, maybe it spam or something. there are many, many more who have been detained. hundreds and hundreds of similar individuals. and every day,

more courses they attempt to escape and circumvent than marry you. bull disguised the civilians. they are priority now is not the glory of ukraine, the 3rd reich of the area and race, but rather their own personal survival. more i'd guess the of our tea from mary jo pull. meanwhile, kia sees the leader of a country's largest opposition party victor made if he had to cast been detained on the orders of president zalinski. for months he had been under house arrest, but managed to escape after the conflict began with his lawyer, claiming he'd received death threats out his residents. here's what the you printing leader had to say about the latest arrest. mario. also, google seized him, i think, especially cynical of him to use military comfort. he tried to disguise himself like such a soldier, such a patriot was thinking mister medford truck was placed under high sir s last year

and accused of treason. he denies the allegation as political repression. after the start of the conflict, his party was among a number of opposition groups whose activities were suspended under martial prison silence. he has offered to exchange mister mon field trip for a captured ukrainian soldiers, moscow as yet to comment on the proposal. political commentator john breck more believes the arrest is scandalous. she's glades the intimidating note to her disability code. please enter, humiliated publicly on the social media and then propose is to exchange a new canyon petition against capture the king. and so just, you know, there are changes between soldiers. that's true. but why exchange and then the political opponent, it's really quite extraordinary. that again underlines the fact that you changed the unified counseling that people in the east will be into our culture and people in the west to lean towards the west. and you know that this petition has been put

on the house or just before the war. and there was no clue test about that. there's no point to anything that canyons can do. just the wisdom question. do we need them to me? just unbelievable. i've never seen that in my life now. the u. s. has officially resettled 12 ukrainian refugees over the past month. thus the spy president biden's pledge and marched to allow as many as a 100000 ukrainians into the country, citing the need for from the reunions. not 2 weeks since the president made the promise, hundreds of ukrainian refugees of been seen struggled it now the american southern border with mexico. and while the by then ministration is reportedly preparing measures to speed up the entry process. for those being the conflict. flossing them is particularly vulnerable. the presidents facing growing pressure over the slow roll out of this program. however, there are others at the border zone who's been waiting for entry much longer. a number of latin american migrant families have had to wait for nearly half

a year to just be like to apply for asylum in the us. thousands of latino refugees arrive at the us mexico border every year. we're only from 900. the silas seekers from latin america and the caribbean have been admitted since tober here. so one of the refugees described her plight. i think we also deserve their paternity to cross the border. they should let us in because we are also fleeing. it's different what we're running from, but it's still a war. a war against gang refugees from somalia have also been struggling to get help from washington. this by fleeing. hey, civil conflict in the country which the u. s. has been actively engaged in the us military and response plan. meanwhile, for the country has seen only a tiny fraction less than 5 percent of its funding from its usual donors. we heard the stories of some similes known

a desperate fight for survival. ah law brave brave for his give me a gentle hungry you. okay. with the other she him out of that know got this is something we're already aware of. the ukrainian crisis started less than 2 months ago, and we've been stranded across the, our states more than 30 years now with nobody supporting us. now the ukrainian crisis has stolen in the spotlight with us that is animal. that was even village facility years. we've been suffering from deteriorating living conditions, like griffin geez, in all countries a

yellow new we've been here since 1991 after fleeing the war between the tribes in somalia, with us only intervened to achieve its objectives, but didn't do any good for the somali people uh huh. we came here in a group of 350 either the us nor the un provided any assistance to us with some as, as the model. so well only basically the you is destroyed somalia and did nothing to support us. now we see that the u. s. and other western countries pay attention to was on countries while, because the u. s. has an interest in them, otherwise they with her mom, i will never done anything good to i'm, i don't expect to do so i'm the future. ah,

doris johnston should resign over the party gates scandal. not the opinion of more than half of all those queens that a new nation wide pole in the u. k. that comes after police find the prime minister for breaking locked on roof. while his subsequent full apologies of sparked a backlash of criticism. you made the rules, you broke your own law, just go to prime minister and the chancellor had insulted the millions of people who faithfully followed the rules. this is a government in crisis neglecting a country in crisis. both arrest johnson on his chancellor, russia soon to have rejected cause to resign. a police investigation find they had reached the very covert laws created by their own government. boris johnson house repeatedly insisted that old guidance was followed. general secretary of the british communist party robert referred, believes the prime minister is guilty of much more than just part of it. well, as with most things of polish, johnson says we can't really taken at face value and give it any great credibility

. i shouldn't think he is sorry until i don't. i suspect he doesn't even realize the gravity of the offense since he is caused. i suspect he would survive a road to no confidence. quite honestly, there are many good reasons why a bonus, young son should resign or be sacked. i'm afraid this word would probably have to come some way down the list between far more serious offences and actual negligence than he is guilty of trade. british media must be one of the most reprehensible and irresponsible in the world, media flipped from one crisis to another, from one sensationalized calendar to another, back on your grade. and of course not will be to the exclusion of them very serious conflicts and issues that really should have some attention.

there is a racism scandal brewing in the us. that's after a law professor made what seems to have been insulting remarks about indian women on their country during an interview in fox news. so take, you know, the brahman women who come from india and they're taught that they are better than everybody else because they are prominent leads and yet on some level, their country as an excuse. my language was university of pennsylvania. professor amy walks also came under criticism for suggesting indian and other asian immigrants should either stop complaining about life in the u. s. or get out of the country. she's also a controversial comments or by black americans, claiming their quotes resentful towards western people. first it works is now under investigation on her fact you'll see over what's been called her promotion of white supremacist and her statement sub also sparked on fridge on social media.

neurologist amy waxed ingles out. indian women says brown, women are jealous of american success. i think it's the other way around. some of us, indian american doctors do our part to make america great health care system you describe . so yeah, we have the right to criticize a to how is this white supremacist on faculty? she understands nothing about india or indian women for that matter. as an asian american, i have every right to speak up for injustice. that is my patriotic duty. well ahead of the pence, her peninsula foundation, excuse me, think tank. see such a lead to race. a statement in the us are part of a bigger underlying problem in american society. a symbolic off a disease. the inspections were basically brought on business mindset and that needs to be eliminated

with scientific work, industrial roles, civic on my lapse in lots of it from there. so i would say that statement is still based on a lack of knowledge. if the large number of indian students and the large number of indian china students coming to the us, us education industrial relapse, the, the biggest funder. so she'd better watch on what she gets, pollution and india balance family found that they can be ongoing conflicts and your plane is the primary reason for such people to come up with something in the story i want to delve into with you today in a streaming government minister has arrived in the solomon islands for talks, amid concerns encumber over

a proposed security deal between the country. china. the ministers already urged the solomon islands pm, not to sign the deal, the alleging beijing's presence could supposedly destabilize the region. we have asked solomon islands respectfully, to consider not signing the agreement and to consult the pacific family in the spirit of regional openness and transparency. consistent with our region security frameworks. the solomon islands initiated a security deal with china 2 weeks ago, but could allow chinese navy ships the fence forces to be based in the south pacific territory. the move is designed to offer protection for chinese infrastructure investment in the developing nation. however, critic say such a deal could undermine australias position, which is considered the most influential state in the pacific region of response to the younger over the move chinese foreign ministry spokesman accused the streaming media of coat smearing paging through broadness attacks,

which only of course 2 regional tensions at play politics. professor joseph gregory mahoney, police australia, aggression in the area is far more important than china's i don't think most countries in okay, i would consider china to be aggressive compared with their experiences with us. we're also, the biggest concern is that australia in recent years has become hysterical about china. now this became a key narrative and domestic politics. and australia now is in the middle of too close to call national elections. additionally, because the solomons are only 2000 kilometers from the queensland coast, and because australia has pursued an aggressive stance against china, the august can bear worries. am i to have a chinese naval base? it's too close for comfort and china has extensive relations with many countries and has been a lifeline of development and indefinite support for several and has been you. the 1st are among the 1st to respond in times of crises. and we saw earlier this year

with the massive volcanic eruption i talked to solomon likes the investment from china and appears to be enjoying sea and australian minister, make an emergency run to visit him to appeal against this deal with china. but ultimately, if we talk about aggression, then australia building a nuclear force in the south pacific is incredibly aggressive and stabilizing for these smaller countries that have long paid a price for being out of the way. but may also pay a bigger price for being too close to escape the sort of madness they were once immune to mass protest, broken, ensure lanka, the country faces its worst economic crisis since his independence. in 1948, thousands of people marched in the commercial capital, colombo, demanding the resignation of the presidents. amid soaring living costs, recent power cuts, food shortages, and spikes in prices came after sherlock guidelines. the default on it's more in depth, official say that the impact of the pan demik ukraine war made it impossible to pay

its creditors. the country's government has, however, a nice the special plan to rebuild the economy, including help from the international monetary fund on loans from india and china. specialist in international relations doctor shamal fernando believes it won't take a lot to get her like a back on the right track. i am. if you're not lend money or dor country that i cannot pay, it gets so dear. dear worn sheet, i've got to leave structure, it's our economy, you know, the, that, that a nation is capable of being its laws. so that's what pepper, that's what's happening at this point. so the steps that the government us in immediately gave her knees a damned appointed davina of finance minister in the last 2 or 3 weeks. he's seen miss hon. ali celebry and deny century bank governor was appointed. that's the

2nd point and she then guy has no stopped paint. it's at this point to any country, but there is a process process. there are president, does it morning, don't know, economic in writing. so you can do that. then engage our invoicing on economic engagements. we either he, i am with all i get any multilateral organization. the crew of 2014 to the conflict to day. next, we timeline why, what's happening right now in ukraine and dunbar has its roots in the government, overthrowing key of 8 years ago. they with us for a short talk, try to head ah ah, western politicians and their client media have a single and terrifying message if russia is allowed to survive than democracy in
