allocate some of that towards domestic priorities. for germany, foreign minister pledges more heavy weapons. the ukraine's war efforts during her 1st visit to the conflict torn country while also promising to shut down. germany is important to russian energy with good. also ahead as once again, this is a residential area, this is a market that they're in a school or residential building everywhere. basically, at least 2 civilians have reportedly been killed in the shelling of residential areas in the dorm bus to see if don't. yes, quite ukraine's military. it's the 2nd bunch of tactics this week. ukrainian president's administration tools, criticism for proudly posting an image of a soldier wearing a not a symbol. we hear from an american journalist who describes them more to the

atrocities of ne, a non, please, in ukraine, through the 2014 qx in here. ever since my da map and they've had free reign of and murdering raping robbing people across ukraine across on boss and fist fight mounting western pressure on countries to join anti russia sanctions . china relate to rate it's neutral position. well, significantly increasing the import of russian. good with very well welcome. this is on the international with the latest world news headlines is good to happy with japanese. foreign minister has promised to deliver additional tanks on how it says to ukraine. adelina bay, a bulk made the statement during her 1st visit to the water country. our next step will be the delivery of highly modern tanks and how it served. which means we will

be able to use them for protection against drone. germany and the netherlands will be able to jointly supply these howitzers as only one country cannot supply everything because we ourselves already have a shortage yet germany will provide 7 howitzers and we will now begin all the necessary training for this. well, there's definitely a lot of people in germany who would rather the country's foreign minister speak for herself when it comes to sending even more military hardware to ukraine. i mean, just about a week ago, she was giving a speech, trying to rally support for these new weapon shipments. when she was met with a crowd of angry protesters, they heckled her. they called her a war monger with sick listen. the on monday bare bark even faced a crowd that threw an egg and a piece of cheese at her when she was trying to give another seat. so this isn't

exactly most people's idea of a warm reception. now, bear back also made a number of statements on her 1st, her 1st trip to ukraine, since the beginning of russia's military operation alongside what we just heard about sending more weapons to ukraine. she also said that our country's going to need to completely cut itself off from russian energy imports. we understood more than clearly that economic dependence does not lead to security. if the aggressor is indifferent to the well being of his own people. therefore, we are reducing with all the consequences, our dependence on russian energy carriers to 0. and that's forever. that's despite the fact that germany, the 3rd largest gas importer company called v, and she just agreed to moscow's demand that russian gas from needs to be paid for with roubles by unfriendly countries. so clearly, not everyone in germany wants to break with russia, is energy supply with the german economy and the situation that it how would they expected thing pay for all of this military hardware?

while sending cons of weapons and military hardware and ukraine on top of trying to break with admirably really cheap russian, oil and gas. the implication of that from you, official seems to be that ordinary europeans are going to start having to cough up dough for that. if we don't want the jungle to invade our garden, then we have to pay a price for it. we have to understand that to defend freedom and to fight against the ones who fight against ukraine will have a cost. and the politicians should have the courage to explain to the people that this cost has to be accepted because otherwise the cost will be much bigger. that's at the same time that essentially are getting more and more expensive for european fuel food, rent. the cost of living across the board is just skyrocketing with a record breaking a 7 percent over 7 percent rate of inflation to boot. so it's really not surprising that when bareback give these gives these kinds of speeches that she's met with crowds that want to throw eggs and cheese that are as well as insults. europe is

looking to do whatever i can to penalize moscow with the use foreign policy chief us a brown. now saying the block should consider seizing foreign, frozen russian foreign exchange reserves to help pay to rebuild ukraine and question on the matter. russian foreign minister gala ralph slammed the idea as thievery. no more than those that would have stood you could call it theft. they are not even hiding it any more. this has become a habitual act for the west. for example, the u. s. throws money belonging to the afghan central bank, and they want to use that money not to help people of afghanistan who suffered from the 20 occupation of nato troops in the country, but instead use on their own personal goals, which are not related to the restoration over afghanistan economy, as a brother, joseph morales is famous not just for the statement, not only for his ideas when it comes to confiscating other people's things. recently, he also said that the ukrainian crisis must be resolved only by military means. we shouldn't forget his post as the chief diplomat of europe, not as

a military commander may be soon. the position of the chief diplomat of the e will no longer exist because the e. u has practically no foreign policy of its own. it is in full solidarity with whatever approach the united states imposes. ukraine's gas transit operator has announced it will stop piping one 3rd of russian gas that travels through the country to europe at 7 a. m. on may the 11th. thus, as europe scrambles to cut gas ties with russia, the ukrainian operator has stated that gas will no longer be accepted through distribution stations in the landscape region, vice ne, emergency situation and offering to transfer all volumes to another check point in the jar instead. gas problem has not received any confirmation of a false measure clause. we do not see any obstacles for continuing to work in the previous mode. ukrainian specialists have been normally working in the socratic gas insulated substation and the novice scope. central station all this time and

continue to do so. transit through, so run of co is provided in full. there'll be no complaints from counts parties. and there are none at the time being the transfer of volumes to the city, guests insulated substation based on the russian flow scheme is technologically impossible. the distribution of volumes is clearly stated in the corporation agreement dated december, the 30th, 2019. and the ukranian side is well aware of this. he was president joe biden has delivered a fresh pledge to curb the spiraling spike of inflation on consumer prices in the country. let's get the details from correspondence in washington, d. c. now rachel blessings, but i good to see you, rachel, now, don't by the faith and criticism i was handling if the economy at home was it had to say about it this time was the actually going to do about it means you're using what is actually going to do about it, but president biden is now saying that tackling storing inflation is going to be

his top priority. moving forward after it has already been 40 year highs for 5 straight months during his speech at the white house on tuesday. he said he understands why the american people are so frustrated. right now. i understand when it feels like i come from a family where, when the, when the price of gas for food went up, we felt it was a discussion of the kitchen table. i went, i want every america know that i'm taking inflation very seriously. and it's my top for domestic priority now, as for the cause of the steering inflation that americans are facing today. biting again, claim that russian president is to blame, saying that the war in ukraine is directly impacting soaring prices. here in the united states, we saw on march that 60 percent of inflation that month was due to price increases

at the pump. for gasoline, prunes war has raised food prices as well because ukraine and russia, 2 of the world's major bread baskets for wheat and corn. however, that isn't actually completely the case. inflation has already been on the rise over the last year, hitting 5 percent last year and 7 percent in december. the u. s. federal reserve flooded the market with money and response to historic lockdown. during the pandemic, now abide and says that he is concerned about inflation. he is also implemented historic lock historic sanctions, rather against russia. claiming that he knows that they will impact supply chain shortages and that could lead to a global food crisis as a result on top of that by and also continues to fuel both inflation and the conflict as he calls on congress to approve an additional $33000000000.00 and

funding for ukraine. ok, thanks for the updates that i thought is racial blevins as speaking. so as from washington, d. c. russia says it has repelled an effort by ukraine's military to retake an island in the black sea shooting down 30 drones and killing dozens of elite soldiers. in the process, the defense ministry came to quite intended to reclaim at the island of maney, as a payoff tonnes, as russia celebrated victory de. he's women cause europe has details. does you read the statements of the russian defense ministry? it looks like ukraine sense is to lead sir soldiers on on a suicide mission or russian defense ministry says that over the last 3 days, at least a 30 unmanned aerial vehicles i had been destroyed and a 9 of those drones were turkish maids by racks are now, all of them were used by key of in the so called p r stands, which was designed to recapture thee as mean the islands on this sacred day for all

russians, which is of course, or the 9th of may the victory day, nor defense ministry. further reports of that, another 3 bodies of ukrainian soldiers watched stop on the as mean the island which brings a total sally of unclaimed body's offer ukrainian soldiers to at least sets $1.00 to $7.00. now the total number of ukrainian a military that lost their lives of last 3 days stands at 50 people at the moment. now, besides that also for military plains had been shot down and 10 helicopters were destroyed some on the grounds and does some in the air as well. now, here is a statement about that from the russian defense ministry but came over to them. thus, this adventure ended in disaster for ukraine, the thoughtless p r campaign of the kiev regime to seize the island of zampini on the eve of victory day led to the senseless death of more than 5 dozen ukrainian

militants and soldiers of the elite units of the armed forces of ukraine, the loss of 4 planes from hen helicopter city or 3 boats and 30 unmanned aerial vehicles looking juggling about up. now apparently this stance was designed to boost the morale of the ukrainian military. they wanted to do this on the 9th of may. and of course, if you listen to the statement of their russian defense ministry, it was nothing short of a suicide mission for eli ukrainian soldiers and apparently of the order for this alteration. the green light for the separation was given by none other than the presidency zalinski himself. let's have a listen said roll meyer, program old religiously on may 7th, on the direct instructions of president full, a dimmer zalinski drive it with the direct participation of advisors from the united states and great britain, was me. ukraine planned a major provocation to seize the island of the meter as a result of the competent actions of the russian armed forces unit located on the island. the ukrainian provocation was florida junior gun, thrown at the enemy,

suffered heavy losses somewhere. meanwhile, civilian deaths continued some mounds here in the next people's republic. over the last couple of days, at least 4 people were killed by the shelling of the ukraine and military. and of course, scores of civilians have been wounded after residential areas were bombed by the ukrainian military. now this tuesday, i visited some of the places where people lost their lives. once again, there were civilian areas and i spoke to to the locals as well as recorded everything that i saw with my own eyes. let's take a look. ukrainian nationalist forces, 2nd senior shilling civilians. here in the city of funds announced this a market was bombed earlier in the day. as i understand multiple rocket launching systems had been used. and from what emergency services toby, it looks like it's a cluster munitions of 23020 millimeter

o rockets had been used. now we are located in a very extremely residential area and it's been shall continuously for the last 8 years as ukrainian positions. i'm not that our way, however, there are no positions of the next people's republic military here as once again, this is a residential area. this is a market where there is a school. there are residential buildings everywhere, basically. but as i've been spoken to the local say here, they said this had been going on for the last 8 years with us. there was, i don't know what to say. ukraine hates us and that's it. they want to destroy us. it's been this way for 8 years with the suburbs, especially. we have suffered for years, but now the situation has become much tougher after we do it. unfortunately, the shilling has been taking place since may. 9th shells were flying towards the school, and markets were also on fire like the key of military hit every day. some shell fragments landed in my yard just a month ago,

the hospital was hit. my friend died from injuries after the shilling. they hit areas where lots of civilians live with, but i didn't bother over the last to 80 days alone at least 170 people had been killed civilians. mind you, people here feel terrorized by the ukrainian military who continued shilling them every day. another area of the city of the nest was a bomb to this sir tuesday afternoon. as you could see, show landed right in the street over there. we are in a territory of local hospice. all this is a trauma sensor and it's basically full at all times. you can see a show landed right here. as you can see, the caliber of this is a massive so for we don't, we don't know about any particular casualties a here, but i can see you reply if you can point the camera that way. her patients on the

hospital are all outside at the moment. but as i've been told earlier, no one had been hurt. this is the result of another day of ukrainian shilling. here in the next russia, these ukraine is dismissing the viewpoints of people in the danielle scandal against republics. for years. artie heard from george eliot, son, an american journalist who moved the dumbass region in 2012. he says the stars of the russian military operation has been a huge relief for the people of dumbass who had been oppressed by neo nazi group the integrated into the ukranian armed forces. ukraine was coming across the grey line in mass, and the people of dumbass would've just been devastated. and what i'm talking about them murdering everybody where they stood wherever they found people. that was their plan. and quite thankfully,

russia acted and it's been ah, unbelievable for both morale. and just the fact that everybody here knows that it was russia a save their lives. so what's going on right now in the fact that russia recognized lance people's republic and honest people's republic. this is a great thing and everybody here celebrated that how do i feel about as of and the other national battalions and what they've done over the last 8 years. it will, it makes me very angry. ever since my down happened. they've had free reign and they've been murdering raping robbing people across ukraine, across dumbass wherever they're allowed to stand. they're involved in criminal

activity. these people need to be brought to justice one way or the other, and the people that have suffered under them and by them need closure. they need resolution so they can get on with their lives. or this is important because of all the people that has a lot of skills and they just the, the people just disappeared. the families right now don't have that closure. a crane's presidential administration spoke to control this the on victory day after the best social media account was posted, a picture of a soldier proudly dis, saying a not see air a symbol. a photo was late to deleted from both accounts on twitter. telegram this skull and bones symbol was used by an elite nazi german pan's division under the fascist forces during world war 2. but to the pays that western media outlets have turned a blind eye to these details. a sky news anchor had to gently wrap up an interview

with russia's deputy ambassador to the un office of the official drew attention to the nazi symbol that phil and sky had posted online. it will show you what's what periods today as the official page of president landscape here, you can see it in instagram and then this is emblem. you see it's like right now i will make it bigger. so that's the molina. what it is is it's an ambling for if a german division and division in the 2nd world war u. k. now he's covering ukrainian authorities. we display these symbols during the victory they and these, these symbols were used by the same arrangements that killed british people will be . i'm sure you've heard you say we've run out of time mr. paul, probably asking. thank you very much indeed to talk to you. and that should just say that those images that say was shown by mister polanski,

we haven't been able to independently verify them. we discuss the topic will be an american journalist on historian knowledge, who says it's all surprising. the west is apparently ignoring kiev ties to neo nazis. the fact that they're simply not vetting these posts because they don't think anything of it that is perfectly normal for their forces to be displayed, the symbols and they keep getting caught in it again. and again, the fact that they can't help themselves, but actually show off, assess symbol just goes to show that this is one of those things. that's background noise. nobody bothers noticing. so i for one and grateful that they did this because again, it's very revealing. it's one of those 4 ideas slips that tells you who they really are in the west stands with ukraine and they keep saying, and, you know, ukraine represents freedom, democracy, human rights and all the good values that the west officially embraces and stand for goodness. and you're not against good to, sorry, i mean,

that's the narrative. it doesn't matter that these very same outlets in some cases, very same journal is just a couple of years ago. we're writing about us off being this problematic nest of white supremacists, racist fascists who aim to spread their toxic ideology in europe and linked them to the new zealand last shooter, as well as other terrorists around the world. and now did the same. i was like, no, no, no, that's fine. you know, they were different even though they're not different. and that back then be actually interviewed. be let ski who's, who's the founder of us off and who literally told them yes, i chose the symbol and i chose them because they were not the symbols. and they're basically eating their own words because the narrative has changed. because right now and as of and ukraine are useful to the geo politics of the west. and if you know if truth gets in the way of that too bad, it's despicable to find current political differences with western countries.

vladimir putin had the chance to praise their efforts and help him win this 2nd world war during his victory de anniversary speech. but just american veterans who wanted to come to the crate and for essentially prohibited from doing so. what i want to know, we are proud of you and your heroic your contribution to the victory. we all know all soldiers of the allied armies. look at your stuff and use not either burton's defense. secretary was not impressed by vladimir putin speech. then while it was quick to accuse rushes presidents of tarnishing the country's history with the ongoing hostilities in ukraine and tom, back through the invasion of ukraine, put in his inner circle in his generals and i am marrying fascism and tyranny 7070 years ago. repeating the errors of a law centuries totalitarian regimes and for them and for person that can be no victory day, only dishonor and surely defeat and ukraine. what's interesting is the,

it's very inappropriate for this day for victory day. i mean, if you look at president putin's remarks, he even he thanked the allied forces, he actually specifically pointed out the american involvement and how lot of veterans are not able to come for that would have liked to come. i mean, he actually embraced the whole allied movement to defeat naziism and then to have the e u and the u. k. politicians staying with a very, very bad, very bad message in berry. poor example, especially on this, on this day on the celebration. because this is not about the war and ukraine, it's about what was done 70 some years ago, and the defeat of nazi germany and their, their countries would not be where they are today. it was not for russia. when i listen to mr. wallace it's i don't know if he's in a different world,

if he's delusional. but definitely it's not describing rush at all. if anything he's actually describing what you know the, the alter nationalists are doing. and the and what many would, if you look at fascist, i mean and fascism. it's essentially what ukraine is actually evolving into with the alternation, controlling so many things. i mean the definition is right there, definitely not russia. and i think mr. wallace is poorly very badly misplaced, and some of the verbage was very unprofessional. and, and, you know, uncalled for by any sub diplomat. despite western powers asserting tremendous pressure on countries to join sanctions against small sco trying of imports from neighboring russia. that's new record. high last month, importance of a number of goods were double last year figures while those who up substantially on the previous month, oil and gas led to the growth with a russian deputy, russian,

deputy prime minister, where the seas, the energy sex is saying, exposed to the asia pacific region in general have especially risen, but to the same time there was a drastic drop in the chinese exposed to russia, particularly in the technology sector as international sanctions of complicated business ties between the 2, sparking discontent among chinese officials. we oppose any band or restriction on china's normal trade activities with other countries. china will take the necessary measures to firmly defend the legitimate interests of chinese enterprises. russia and china recently established a framework for direct trade operations without the involvement of a state to move away from us dollar dominance with several large energy deals signed in early february just wanted lansing pressure from western latest pages has repeatedly refused to impose sanctions against russia. over the conflict in ukraine, on this pledge to maintain

a neutral position. i don't know. sometimes. there is an argument that china stands on the wrong side of history for not joining the united states and other western countries condemning and sanctioning russia to china. use an independent foreign policy of peace and determined decision based on the merits of the matter. king china never follows. you know, this is footstep lead a way long director of the center. if you are a pain studies, a chinese redman university. say aging wouldn't cave to western pressures that could hinder the huge economic potential of bilateral times with moscow. china and russia. economic relations of a complimentary huge potential new type of power relations. so mutual respects you and not talking to any sort of party, we have a normal trade relations with russia. we can not pay the cost of their lessons. sanctions to russia sanctions means you own the walked the, what is yours?

so you can sense of anybody. so that's actually, i saw it was the, the power i'm sex, acceptable by the chinese and other countries for a long turn. turn on the russia political relations way. good to on the economic and religion. not cut of a wasted, a level of political, neutral tossed. so both sides not just and the prisoners, even local commons to think more, to go back to president, sent about the fate. sure lanka has issued a shoot onsite order to quote wyatt's office. thousands of protesters stormed the outgoing prime minister's official residence in colombo, a defense ministry spokesman that on tuesday that the order applied to anyone looting public property or causing harm to life. on monday, 5 people were killed nearly 200 wounded and homes belonging to the countries ruling

families satellite, the worst violence in week the protest, unimpressive, dented economic crisis. i think the demonstrations have some senior throughout tuesday with hundreds of people defying and nationwide. you could gather round slides, the office of the president, the brother of the outgoing prime minister. the economic crisis is the worst since the countries independence in 1948, which will cause foreign reserves falling to reco low. the government has been unable to afford to improve medicine, food, and fuel, leading to lengthy power cuts and fears of starvation. well, as always, you can find plenty more details on news on our website r t dot com. thanks joining us. ah

ah, a with your ah, this home, your block type thinking of us versus the good guys versus the bad guys is really counterproductive for everybody. of course, it's not in china's interest to pursue a new cold war or some sort of destructive

a competition with. ready other countries around the world, i would say that even for the united states that it would be much better service if it did not have to devote as much money as it does to the military to defend spending. and could we allocate some of that towards domestic priorities? mm awe unit 731, did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a field.
