[000:00:00;00] the thoughtless p r. stunt that is how much describes the key of attempts to reclaim snake islands in the black sea in an operation which a number of ukrainian soldiers were killed. germany reportedly fails to reach a deal with cutter. while in the u. k. people take drastic measures to heat their homes as european countries look to cut gas imports from russia. us has it in your life. once again, shift the blame on russia for searching and domestic price inflation. but many americans does that. he signed the executive orders, so it's is responsibility. and he thinks that the american people are dumb enough

to believe whatever he's feeling them. we are homeless people on the street here. so why not know 1st? absolutely. and china says a move by washington to recognize taiwan as independence would come back to the us . the like asked me my direct my studios in moscow. this is our international, i'm sure i'm thomas. certainly glad to have you. right now, russia has slammed as a thoughtless p. r. stunt ukrainian armed forces effort to retake snake islands, also known as many islands located in the black sea. after their campaign ended with dozens of ukrainian soldiers killed and heavy weaponry destroyed. donna, this gamble has turned out to be a disaster for ukraine. the thoughtless p r action of the key of regime to take snake island by victory de, led to the meaningless depths of more than 50 ukrainian fighters, including elite soldiers here on the loss of 4 planes, 10 helicopters, 3 boats,

and 30 unmanned aerial vehicles. now hearing the statements of the russian defense ministry, it looks like a 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 had been destroyed and a 9 of those drones were searched maids by erects are now all of them were used by key of in a 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, the 9th of may the victory day. no defense ministry. further reports of that, another 3 bodies of ukrainian soldiers watched stop on v as mean the island which brings a total tally of unclaimed body's offer. ukrainian soldiers to at least sets were $97.00. now the total number of ukrainian

a military that lost their lives of last 3 days stands at 50 people at the moment. now 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 statements of the russian defense ministry was nothing short of a suicide mission for elite ukrainian soldiers and apparently of the order for this operation. the green light for the separation was given by none other than presidency zalinski himself. let's have a listen said roll my eye on may 7th and on the direct instructions of president viola, dimmer zalinski with the direct participation of advisors from the united states and great britain. ukraine planned a major provocation and to seize as a mini island was business as a result of the competent actions of the russian armed forces unit located on the island or the ukrainian provocation was forwarded. the enemy suffered heavy losses junior. 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 shilling of the ukrainian military. and of course, scores of civilians have been wounded after residential areas were bombed by the ukraine and 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 continues showing civilians here in the city of flood zone is this a market was bombed earlier in the day. as i understand multiple rocket launching systems had been used. and so from what sa, emergency services told me, it looks like it's a cluster, munitions, a 23020 millimeter oh, rockets have been used now. we are located in a well very,

extremely residential area and it's been shelled continuously for the last 8 years . as ukrainian positions, i'm not that are away. 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 spoken to the locals 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. the suburbs, especially, we have suffered for years, but now the situation has become much tougher up there with the shilling has been taking place since may now thanks. shells were flying towards the school, and markets were also on fire. but 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. over the last 80 days alone, at least 107 people had been killed civilians, why and you people here feel terrorized by the ukraine military who continued shilling them every day. several parts of the city of danielle were reportedly hit by the attack ukrainian forces that rama just mentioned about their now a bit of warning. you may find some of the following images, disturbing. 2 people were killed and 5 others, including a child were wounded. local officials say that the ukrainian military fired 10 missiles at the city on tuesday afternoon. he has not yet confirmed the incident a later in our bolton. we will look at how people from the don bass have re settled in russia to flee attacks from ukrainian military. but meanwhile, he has been trying to intimidate those refugees saying that it's only safe to evacuate to parts of ukraine. and that rhetoric has been echoed in the western mainstream media. we spoke with people who have made

a new home in russia. germany's top diplomat and lena bar buck has said that on a visit to give that her country intends to completely stop its importance of fossil fuels from russia. got me. i say we have understood more than clearly that economic dependence does not bring security. if the aggressor simply does not care about the well being of its people, and that is why we are decisively reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 and doing so forever in germany is now looking for alternative energy provider. having turned to the gulf state of color to discuss boosting supplies, but the countries have reportedly failed to reach a deal due to disagreements over key conditions. a cut wants a long term contract for at least 20 years, as well as a destination clause that would prevent the gas from being rerouted to other european countries. berlin reportedly opposes those points as it appears. reluctant

to lock itself into such a long term agreement without the ability to resell the commodity it co director of the institute for the analysis of global security go lift is skeptical about whether those countries could ever clinch such a contract. many european and asian countries need to cut r e l n g. but cut are, has its own conditions and all of it is happening in an atmosphere of uncertainty. and quite frankly, very stiff competition because germany is not the only country. there are other potential clients that are eager to buy these natural gas and i so i think that it will take time to resolve. it is not clear at all that the 2 sides will be able to agree. and if they do, it will take a month before we can see resolution. as the you and other western powers have been

actively looking for other energy suppliers amid their sanctions against russia. u . s. government officials have asked brazil's state run oil company petro brass to increase crude output. however, it has said, the u. s. came away empty handed, america's state department maintains it's doing everything possible to sort out the situation, but it seems it's not helping we are doing everything possible with our allies in partners to mitigate the economic impacts of russian actions on other economies. like brazil, you're working with energy companies to serge, their capacity to supply energy to the market, particularly as prices increase. those sanctions are definitely a double edged sword when it comes to oil, even if all these countries have sanction russia will stop by or from russia. russia will be able to sell this oil to other clients when it comes to gas. natural gas, the situation is much more difficult. it's

a much more inflexible market. it depends on infrastructure, not every country can receive l, n, g. so it's a much more difficult market also requires long term commitments. sooner or later, all these countries realize that it's much easier to talk about sanctioning russia . the energy is much more difficult to implemented. russia's top diplomat surrogate lab rob has denounced the use foreign policy saying the block has simply been following washington sleet and doing exactly what they are told by the united states. maybe soon the position of the chief diplomat of the will no longer exists because the you is practically no foreign policy of its own. it is in full solidarity with whatever approach the united states imposes. meanwhile, millions of people in the u. k. might be unable to pay their energy bills in the coming months as more price rises are expected on fears. over coming to us.

russians to supplies from russia, ortiz, charlotte davinsky reports rising energy prices, have been a concern for months. but now the reality is really hating home you k households have already seen an increase of more than 50 percent bringing annual bills to around 2000 pounds. now there are warnings that this could shoot up to $3000.00 pounds a year by october. the head of one energy firm fee is millions of households will struggle to pay their bills this winter. it will hit incredibly hard and immediately i think we will see a huge increase in pre payment customers, in effect, self disconnecting, not reloading their pre payment meter because they can't afford to do it. although the u. k has a relatively small dependency on russia for gas and oil energy firms are susceptible to huge price hikes if they buy or the wholesale market. now,

sanctions against russia, as a result of the warring crane, have pushed markets hot. as country scramble to shore up their supplies. some u. k. households are apparently taking drastic measures to try and reduce their bills, firefighters to issue a warning for people to stop burning. open fires in doors that came off to a man was rushed to hospital for doing just that he was said to have been trying to avoid using his gas sensual heating. we know this is a difficult time and people are thinking about ways to reduce their energy bills, but we're really concerned that they may be putting lives at risk by doing so. the fire brigade has said that this wasn't even a loan incident. there have apparently been more than a 100 similar cases in the past few months. now other stories about what people

have been doing to stay warm have also emerged. the british prime minister was recently confronted about one of those. this was about a pensioner who rides the bus all day, apparently, to avoid heating her own home. or, as johnson sparked ango when he boasted that it was, in fact, he who had given pensioners a free bus pass kind of missing the points. and rising costs are said to be impacting people's ability to even put food on the table. more than 2000000 adults in the u. k. say they've skipped meals due to a lack of finances. extremely rapid rise in food insecurity since january points to a catastrophic situation for families. food insecurity puts families under extreme mental stress and forces people to survive on the cheapest calories which lead to health problems. here in the u 2, there are fears over rising energy bills as european leaders try to agree on a new batch of sanctions. to halt all oil imports from russia,

there is still resistance from some members hungry leader has described this auction as akin to dropping a nuclear bomb on his country's economy. while finland's former prime minister says that as price hikes pinch, households, public support was such measures against moscow could ebb away all of this could come to a head sooner rather than later. the deadline for e u countries to pay for russian gas in rubles, is looming. the block has said it will refuse to do that. meaning it now faces supplies being cut off by moscow. ukraine's that gas transit operator has announced that on wednesday it will stop sending one 3rd of the russian gas that has regularly travelled through the country into europe. the ukrainian operator has said gas will no longer be accepted to through distribution stations. in regards to citing the conflict there,

it has offered to transfer all of the volumes to another checkpoint in the russian watertown of subject instead. now russian export or gas problem has said that that scenario would be impossible. gas problem has not received any confirmation of the circumstances of the force mature clause. we do not see any obstacles for continuing to work in the previous mode. transit has been provided in full. there have been no complaints from the counter parties. the transfer volumes to suit you, based on the russian flow scheme is technologically impossible. as gasoline and food prices hit new all time records in the u. s. joe biden has once again shifted the blame on russia in an apparent effort to deflect personal responsibility. we saw in march that 60 percent of inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for gasoline tunes. war is raised food prices as well. but the

price surges have been happening at least since january 2021 a year before the russian military campaign in ukraine. mid rising costs for crude oil now around $100.00 per barrel. that is partially due to some u. s. refineries having closed during the pandemic with other ones currently operating on nearly full capacity. the situation was exacerbated when the u. s. band imports of russian supplies of the commodity while joe biden, in his speech claims that he understands regular americans, his recent actions against russian energy have only pushed prices for their upwards are cheese. racial blevins explains president by then is now saying that tackling storing inflation is going to be his top priority. moving forward after it has already been up 40 year highs for 5 straight months during a 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. inflation has already been on the rise over the last year, hitting 5 percent last june and 7 percent in december. the u. s. federal reserve flooded the market with money and response to historic lockdown during the pandemic . now a bite and says that he is concerned about inflation. he has also implemented 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 bite 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. and so he's on the executive orders. nobody else. if you look at those signatures for his, so it's his responsibility. and he thinks that the american people are dumb enough to believe whatever he's feeling them. why aren't you taking care of the people in your own country instead of people in another country, a world apart. i don't get that like i live here and you know, help me. i don't have too much faith in the correct ministration, and i'm losing faith in our government. various to just pick up to political. we have homeless people on the streets here. so why not help us 1st? absolutely. everyone is struggling with it, especially people my age working class. you know, it's impossible to move up and it's really easy to go down to political commentator and radio host. steve gill says biden is focused more on ukraine than on solving america's domestic problems. you know, decades ago we had a president who had a sign on his desk. the buck stops here. now we have a president biden, that apparently says the buck is everywhere, but me, you know,

he's blaming for gas prices, even though gas prices started going up a year before there was any conflict in ukraine and those gas increases were because we were shutting off our supply, we were shutting off our energy independence, and people are seeing the prices all over town at the gas pumps. just this week. gas prices are united states, despite another $0.50 a gallon, and that has nothing to do with the war in ukraine. it has everything to do with more supply and demand. we cut off our supply as demand continues to increase and, and by trying to blame everybody by himself or his own energy policies, i have bad news for the american taxpayers that only we sending tens of billions and dollars to, to fuel this war and to, and to push it further ahead, when the bill comes, do i guarantee the american taxpayer is going to be sent to bill for billions and billions of dollars to rebuild ukraine while our cities are in disrepair, while our cities have violence and crime on the rise? and while working families can't afford to put food on the table or gasoline in their cars,

he's focused on everybody in the world except the united states and the people of this country. china says a trick by washington to revise its position on taiwan to political status. would come back to her. the u. s. that warning came after the u. s. state department edited its website to remove text about not recognizing tie wants independence from china or to kill mop and comments. taiwan is china's sensitive spot when it comes to foreign policy, and you can be sure to get a prompt and strongly worded response when you mention it. move on. the west, his latest modification of the fact sheet is a trick to obscure and right off the one. china principal history cannot be rewritten. the facts cannot be denied and right and wrong should not be distorted guy made. so what exactly did washington do? well, they edited their website and they removed the part about not recognizing the island

is being independent of china. here's what it used to say. united states recognize the government of the people's republic of china as the sole legal government of china, acknowledging the chinese position that there is but one, china and taiwan as part of china. the united states does not support taiwan independence. and here is what it says. now obviously, washington plans to expand their engagement their taiwan is a key us partner in the endo pacific the united states in taiwan, share similar values, deep commercial and economic links, and strong people to people, ties which form the bedrock of our friendship and serve as the impetus for expanding us engagement with taiwan. china seas this as a straight up provocation from the united states. they are hinting at a rather strong response to on such political manipulation of the taiwan question and the attempt to change the status quo across the taiwan strait will hurt the us

itself. this bat seems pretty well timed with the us lead summit taking place in washington later this week. the block of 10 south eastern nations that surprisingly does not include china, is expected to discuss ways to counter beijing's influence in the region. in turn, the u. s. will continue to promote its endo pacific strategy released just 3 months ago, just to show how much chinese people are affected by these plans. a poll recently conducted showed that 89 percent of chinese people view the indo pacific strategy as their regions version of nato. and they see it as a danger with us media and politicians beating the drum against china. american public opinion has been impacted as well. a gallop poll, taken back in february, showed that 79 percent of us adults have a negative opinion of the country. also in april,

a pew survey ran to china's unpopularity at 82 percent. so much tension currently going on in the world. the by did ministration, seems to just not have caused enough rockets. they now want to intensify the conflict with the country that is the largest on earth in terms of population and a major global economic player. it's not clear where the american people really benefit from this strategy of intensifying conflict across the planet will have a change of diplomacy. the, the original text was written at the time when with the influence of such realist phone calls of its type. diplomats such as henry kissinger, who was one of the architects of us, china policy and the opening. today we have a mishmash of, of diplomats driven by neo liberal, new conservative values which are want to project us power militarily,

everywhere. that is not going to diminish in any way because china is definitely the existential, the super power that's on the rise. the only way to resolve any to get back to diplomacy is of course, to reduce that influence. on tuesday, the baltic state of lithuania decided to reprimand moscow by declaring russia a terrorist state and describing the military campaign in ukraine as a genocide. meanwhile, the neighboring latvia, officials have been having trouble coming to terms with the fact that people still honor the soviet soldiers who liberated that republic from nazi forces in world war 2 admitted commemorations of the allied victory in europe. this week, authorities and rigor have used a tractor to remove an abundance of flowers, placed by thousands of residents at the library and capital monument of the liberators. the authorities actions sparks a backlash with residence, expressing their anger to the city. men that are going my dear mayor stack as if

you think that by running over our flowers with a tractor, you can humiliate us, you are wrong. you humiliated yourself. you showed your weakness, your fear. residents returned to their memorial with more flowers than candles using them to decorate the area. police officers said that they saw saint george ribbons which are banned in the country and arrested the number of people during that event. one man in civilian clothing was filmed with kicking flowers at the monument, and please bandage to save him from the rest of the crowd. the later on tuesday, authorities closed off the perimeter of the monument, but people still gathered round it singing a renowned victory. they saw the amid the ukraine conflict. thousands of people have sought refuge in neighboring russia. this was

despite intimidation by the key of government echoed in western mainstream media saying that move could be dangerous, our chief, because donna has a story for us. throughout the past 8 years, keith made an example out of the de next and logan's credence every civilian can and will be at target e she nationally, nick, immediately my next, if you needed to nickname my. when i did the school in the judge except you, when they quit a building, i am. one of the latest tragedies came just short of 2 months ago when a ukrainian ballistic missile hit the city of dynette. dozens of people, key of considers its own citizens perished.

mm. i don't. i don't believe with many like this family from the frontline town, a resume which is now under the russian control. drew very explicit conclusions out of all this. now we are not afraid to leave for another country. we are afraid to stay here. we are afraid that they will start shelling here. we have small children . we are afraid for the safety of our children. we want some kind of stability caves propaganda. machine is spinning in overdrive spearing out one fake after another. some as preposterous and outrageous as claiming the russians booby trapped

dead bodies. all this misinformation eventually misfired and seated even more mistrust. he did him. he did not believe what ukrainian television says. we know that we used to live together russia and ukraine. in addition, many of our families are mixed both russian and ukrainian. i do not think russia should be feared. i am soviet in my identity. the children are also brought up that there is nothing to fear in the russian people. for us february 23rd is still defender of the fatherland day and may, 9th is still victory day. yet we still celebrate, just like we used to in their pursuit to paint russians grotesquely. evil ukraine's in for war battalions tried so hard. they went completely overboard. yet i have never been to russia, but i have friends and relatives they. i'm not afraid to go there. i scare here. ah,

my dad does it for me this hour. i'll be back in about 31 minutes with another full and fresh look to new students or international. ah ah ah.

mm ah fi is started the war against the dumbass republics in 2014. but the authorities didn't take civilian casualties into consideration. ukrainian armed forces moved remorselessly towards that goal. taking control of the rebel
