ah ah, ah, gas prices skyrocket in europe off the ukraine suspends the key transit to fly route, while hungry prosthetic they were proposed the when fargo and russian with give on . okay, there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what would be equal to an atomic bombing upon greece. economy in the event for possible involved go on russian oil imports. meanwhile, british authorities raise the alarm after more than a 100 incidents to vote, can fire their local homes and to residents, turn off the gas and result firewood to save money with discounts during findings plans or prolonged the war in ukraine by giving here $40000000000.00 in military support with ukraine is only a proxy to

a larger issue for the united states in terms of uniform world order of leadership . as long as the military contractors can sell mega at the billions and billions of dollars, they're more than happy to keep a war. anyone with variable and welcome to you. this is on the international with the late is world news update is good to happy with us how fuel prices have surged across europe after ukraine's gas transit operates announced. it will stop sending one 3rd of the russian gas that travels through the country and to europe. ukrainian operates essays, gas will no longer be accepted due to distribution stations fighting technological and operational med links that caused unforeseeable circumstances preventing contract obligations from being fulfilled. the pipelines in question argues to transit gas to hungary, austria, germany, and sort of back here with the economy of those countries now expected to bear the

brunt of ukraine suspension of transit. russia gallons prom say that these no valid reasoning behind, keeps move as all moscow's operations remain in order. gas prom has not received any confirmation of the circumstances of the force major 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 of volumes to sujata based on the russian flow scheme is technologically impossible. we won't germany's talk diplomat allen, a bad book has been met with a wave of criticism from some of our national colleagues of to see that berlin intends to completely stop its importance of any to supplies from russia. ah, may i, 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. that is why we are decisively reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 and doing so

for ever. i also believe now is the time to take a closer look at who is affected the most. there is global demand for coal, oil and gas. energy is the achilles heel of any economy. we are talking about the fact that we are stopping production that we are losing workplaces. germany has reportedly failed to reach an agreement with katha on alternative energy supplies. after berlin turned to the gulf states, amid efforts to cut dependence on imports from russia, castle allegedly wants to secure a contract for at least 20 years. with guarantees that his gas supplies will not be re routed to the european countries. however, germany is reportedly refusing to commit itself to such a long term deal without permission to redistribute the imports from counter security analysts gal left phase. it could take many months for the 2 countries to agree on the terms. many european and asian countries need to cut r e l n g. but cut are,

has its own conditions. and all of these are 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. 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. and then the hungary say that cannot agree to a complete and thought go on russian oil imposed because such a moot by brussels would annihilate the country's economy. you want to book, you know, there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what would be equal to an atomic bombing of hungary economy in the event of a possible embargo on russian oil imports. hungary, resistance to the proposed you balance russian oil imports has intensified off to hungary is prime minister met with other

e u leaders who according to hungarian officials, have no idea on how to deal with the effects of the rising oil prices, hungary hesitation, as now stored the e, you move as the union cannot proceed without a unanimous decision. some other members, including greece, are also faring for their economies. we discussed the crisis with austria's form from a farm and is the current can i? so there are several voices claiming that an oil embargo can be imposed. a 2nd post all embargo jury by the end of this week because you asked about the other countries here. they refuse their warning. voices are hungary slop achia check republic and also by gary and greece to a certain extent are what might most probably happen is that they will receive exemptions phasing out closest that will be some carrot and stick

treatment. but so far to hunger and position has been a very blunt long hungary is definitely the key country in order to reach a consensus for for such an island. barbara. so we are far from a consensus, but it looks like there could be a handling on different layers with surging prices on all energy resources, amid delivery disruptions. millions of people in the u. k. may reportedly be unable to pay that energy bills in the coming months to reduce the expenses on hating some british locals are now starting open fires inside their homes. as our t shala depend, ski reports rising energy prices have been a concern for months, but now the reality is really hitting home u. 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 on 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 man was rushed to hospital for doing just that he was said to have been trying to avoid using his gas central 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 foyer brigade has said that this wasn't even a loan incident. they have apparently been more than a 100 similar cases in the past few months. now of the 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. for his 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. the 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 you to there are fears over rising energy bills as european leaders trying 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 descried this option as akin to dropping a nuclear bomb on his country's economy. 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. expose have worn to the inflation rate in the u. k. is which so uncomfortably high level, after exceeding all forecasts with the numbers were portly, expected to keep rising. for years we talked to the streets of london to gauge reaction from locals. the cost of living in london has always been ridiculous. inflation and property prices has been well above what the state of the all measure of inflation has been. it's an absolute crime. it's an economic crime that has been allowed to happen. and the reason it's been allowed to happen because the people in charge or a highly capitalized, so have benefited from it and are effectively becoming enslaved to this economic system. inflation went up the route. so i think it's horrible. i say, unless you have a family that's able to help you young people purchase property it's, it's

a serious issue and i think the marginal cost you have x amount each week. if you're a certain wage and thereafter, you have no extra the next. and your heating bills, dollar bills, the into the do you do not have an extra to for bethel, except to, to mona, the government trauma. do something about the u. s. president has expressed concern about russian strategy in ukraine, claiming moscow does not have a way out of his military campaign. in the mean time, he's promised care the $40000000000.00 worth of weapons and support. some americans are asking why the money is not being spent at home. hey joe biden, word on the street is, is that you from his vladimir zalinski, another $130000000.00 at the g 7 meeting yesterday? yeah. where are we going to get that? are you going to keep printing money? that printing machine must be running out of ink. and by the way, have you taken

a look at flint, michigan, or detroit or seattle or portland. 7 they look like 3rd world countries now nearly signed ukraine democracy defense lendlease acts at dates in 941 law, which the us used to help allies during world war 2. it allows america to expedite military equipment into other supplies, to ukraine, and with more heavy weaponry on the way some us officials are suggesting. the only way out of the conflict is if he has winds. putin now seems to want to transform his genocidal war into a frozen conflict in ukraine. we cannot allow this to happen. don't lose focus. total ukrainian victory is the goal. me, my pentagon press secretary, john kirby, in his latest interview with fox news claim that there was a flow of lethal weapons from the u. s. to ukraine. before the conflict even started the by the administration was flowing in weapons. well, before the invasion, the 1st $1000000000.00 that,

that the president committed to ukraine did include lethal assistants and that was before but before prudent i decided to move in. earlier we discussed the issue with a panel of guests. ukraine is only a proxy to a larger issue for the united states in terms of its unipolar world order leadership. it sees it dwindling it and it's also trying to keep a cohesive effort with nato and, but the countries and that's beginning to crumble as a result of this as far as i'm concerned, if the united states wasn't pushing all of this and pushing russia to the hilt, nato, the nato countries never would have found themselves in this position. they never would have wanted to have a war. us couldn't succeed in afghanistan, work in iraq. the idea of them succeeding against russia is his slim to non

existent. however, as long as the military contractors can sell mega weapons, billions and billions of dollars, they are more than happy to keep a war, any war going. it's a system that exists on war and on war profits. if russia continues to push forward with its current campaign, and the end result will be the destruction of the vast majority of ukraine's existing regular army. if russia wants to turn this into a stalemate, let's say, after seizing or reach out, you're, you are getting control of gone skin going yet. can the southern tear. russia halts in the west, continues to provide billions of dollars over advanced weaponry to ukraine and gives ukraine enough time to assimilate this material and train their troops. you know, they were talking a different kind of war. we've actually created

a self fulfilling prophecy and pushing russia closer to, to china as a consequence. and this is the last thing the united states ever wanted. but yet we created it for ourselves. we create our own problems we, we should ourselves and the not the foot, but in the head. this could stop tomorrow. if there was any slow down on the part of biden, there's not, it is intended, the break all relations between the european union and russia, their main source of gas and fuel and grain to the world. this is we'll create famine throughout africa and the u. s. knows it very well, and they're determined to go ahead anyway, so for him to stay, he doesn't know what it would take for putting to get out. we got to say that it's biden who knows how to and this tomorrow as gasoline and food prices hit a new all time highs in the u. s. j biden has once again pin the blame on russia in

the parent effort to avoid personal responsibility. we saw in march that 60 percent of inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for gasoline, prunes war is raised food prices as well. however, statistics show that the us inflation rate actually started spinning out of control almost a year before the russian military campaign in the ukraine. that fuel price problem has also been mounting over the previous year in part due to some us refineries having closed during the pandemic. well, some americans who they think is ready to blame. so he's on the executive orders. nobody else. if you look at those signatures, they're 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 story and ministration and i'm losing

faith in our government. various it 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, the working class. you know, it's impossible to move up and it's really easy to go down a palestinian out there. a journalist has been shot dead during israeli army right on the west bank refugee camp of jan in both israel and the palestinian authority blamed each other for sharina clay's death. a warning you may find the following image is disturbing. the footage shows the moments after the veteran correspondent was short apparently in the face. despite wearing a press best to produce there was also show to put it in a stable condition. according to the palestinian health ministry. the body of the journalist has been taken to a low who morgue and now does their estate. many claims out of play was assassinated in cold blood in a blatant murder,

violating international laws in norms. the israeli occupation forces assassinated in cold blood al jazeera correspondent in palestine, while conducting her journalistic duty, clearly wearing a press jacket that identifies her a journalist covering the israeli occupation forces storming of jeanine refugee camp in the west bank. as well as prime minister has claimed that it is quite likely that palestinian gunfire killed the reporter, proposing a joint investigation on the autopsy with the palestinian authority, which has refused. the author, palestinians believe that the reporter was made it by israel. according to the information we've gathered, it appears likely that arm palestinians who were indiscriminately firing at the time, were responsible for the unfortunate death of the journalist. we have offered the palestinians a joint pathological investigation into the sad death of journalists, serene ob walk law journalists, must be protected in conflict zones, and we all have a responsibility to get to the truth. let me ask,

when does the criminal have the right to take part in the investigation against his victim? we reject and refuse the participation of any israelis in this kind of investigation . they have to be taken to the international court. we call on the i c. j to open an investigation into the killing of serene and other crimes committed against the palestinians. less close lifesaver, she'd met her independent journalist and political commentator now thank you for joining is on the program, is good to see. and this of all, this is obviously horrific. could you tell us more about where this happened and how thanks to having me on. well, shelly and i will. barkley is household name, right. many people my age and bit older have grown up watching on tv. she's very, very famous journalist and she was working this morning covering the israeli raids that have been taking place against areas in the west bank against knob los janine

refugee camp. and today she was near jeanine when she was killed. and we've all seen the videos there, absolutely. her effect her entire face was, was blown off. it's honestly got wrenching. and i find incredible that, you know, the israeli prime minister. now, after the bennet or these really foreign ministry are putting out these claims, these myths that she was killed by palestinian gunfire. so i've seen the twitter video that israeli foreign ministry poster where they claim that she might have been hit by palestinian gunmen. neither the video nor the audio match the one where we actually see her on the ground and limp and lifeless. and the other journalist with her were also being shot that i think this is very important to underline that this wasn't just one sniper who shot one bullet at her and killed her. even though it's obviously very precise marksmanship, but the entire group of journalists,

the other journalists that she was with her colleagues from other news agencies, so not just from 0, they were also being shot that. and you can see that in the multiple videos that have been released this morning. and this is very clearly it's an a talk on the press. as i find it very hard to believe that these railey forces cannot tell the difference between so called palestinian gunmen and journalists who have very clear press markings, we're wearing bulletproof vests, wearing or capital, are vested wearing a helmet. this is very, very clear. and they, you have to imagine she has the helmet on and the best, and they still managed to, to shoot her the head and take her face completely off. this is very precise and very deliberate. so of course there are 2 sides to this, both sides blaming each other as well, have offered to conduct a joint investigation with the palestinian authority, but the palestinians of refuse. why is that? well, i don't think there are 2 sides to this story unless we look at the language because

you have an occupier and you're people who are occupied. so i mean you, regardless what you really want to say, they are occupiers. so they are pressing the palestinians by definition they have the upper hand, they control their lives. and you're seeing that this morning, you know, journalists turn him a walk around doing a job. so being a fascinated this is, this is crazy, right? so it's really insulting to kind of say that the, the criminal here should participate in the investigation. it seems of at our ages . i don't really see why these railings are shying away from this is they have a history of targeting journalists and targeting medics. it's nothing new, it's not out of the ordinary. this is something that they don't. everybody remembers resign a new job, the medic who was killed during the right to return a march's. this is something that happens every war and in between all the war. so it's not surprising whatsoever. and honestly the israelis, we're trying to use this as a, as a trans, they will you see the palestinians. they don't want to participate in the investigations. obviously they're hiding something. i don't really see what's the height. she was killed. eye witnesses are suggesting that the journalists were in

an open area away from the confrontation, which suggests that the death was either an accident or deliberate. how dangerous also situations in the westbank for journalists. right, so if you go and watch the video that was put out these really foreign ministry, it just simply does not match the videos where we see the journalists being attacked, including sharing. and this is very important because these railways are trying to suggest they're not saying that it's 100 percent. sure if he was struck by policy, but the trying to suggest it and dilute an office gave what's going on. so this i, i really urge people to go watch both videos. you will see that neither the area nor the audio match. and it is very dangerous working, not just in the west bank, but in gaza as a whole, as a journalist and specifically palestinian journalist because the israelis are treating the palestinians like, you know, 2nd rate, 3rd rate people. they, they don't care about. journalists don't have people forgotten that literally,

one year ago. what do these railways do? they bombs, the offices of sierra and the associated press. they completely leveled the building and that speaks volumes. well, what kind of sort of respect they have for journalists? there is no respect and this is really standard policy to kind of just make life hell for people. regardless whether they're worshippers, as we saw last week and last march, or whether they're journalists or whether they're medics. this is the policy when you have a colonizer and people that are being colonized. and so it's very, unfortunately, i'm extremely shocked and upset, but unfortunately this is not out of the ordinary. and i think it's very disgusting that the media use this passive language to say like she was, she was fatally shot. they won't say by whom the new york times once they that israeli strutter, they want, you know, the, you go to axia as you go through reuters. they don't mention the key piece of information. and i can assure you, one thing if, if sharing with ukrainian and she was shocked by the russians, they would have no problem plastering that all over the front page, news and long,

basking russia for it. so why the double standard? i understand that the, you and the you on the national federation of journalist calling for an investigation into this case. and how soon do you think it will be 100 percent clear who is to blame and that will the involvement at the international community help speed up this investigation? right, well i think it's important to have the investigation regardless if nothing but to, to get through the formal process. so these railings kind of say, well the palestinians refused to cooperate and so on and so on. they, i don't think they should be afforded that that's what you need. and i, and i, i say this because it's, it's very easy to, you know, always blame the. busy palestinians, we always do this language, but there were clashes again. you go, watch the video where she's she was killed. there are no gunman in this area. they are alone, and they're being shot out. it's very, very clear. and it reminds me of the images of the father where you had this father palestinian father sheltering his boy, and they killed this boy. so, you know, even when they're cowering and they're hiding away, there's no sort of mercy this,

the source of compassion and all these so called democratic ideals that israel has about women's rights and freedoms. they don't exist for palestinians, they treat sinews, like they're not human beings. and you know, having the investigation is not going to bring shutting back these railey, they refuse to accept any responsibility for any of the crimes that they commit over time. right? they always try to portray themselves as the victims when they are the ones with nuclear weapons. they have an air force, they receive billions of dollars and funding from the american. this is ridiculous that they want to put journalists. that's just, that's just been murdered on the same kind of level as occupation forces. there's very clearly a victim here and it's fairly, very clearly an oppressor and i think it's, it's great. yes. how have you process have an investigation? but it's really high time that people stop treating this like it's some sort of level playing field is a very, very unfair situation. and this has been going on for 70 plus years. and now you don't, there are the thing that i reported was wearing a press jacket and she was clearly experienced with such disturbances. so what more

can be done to protect journalists in these situations? do you think? well, i thank you that and you, you bring up a very good point. she is a very experienced journalist. i think people should not forget that she's been doing this for decades. right. she is one of the best in this field. she's from jerusalem. she's been covering palestine her whole life, right. so she knows these areas well. she knows exactly what she's doing. and unfortunately the reality is that not only as a journalist specifically a palestinian. busy list, this is the risk that you run, that you end up being brutalized, or even killed, shockingly killed. and i think what needs to be done to protect journalist, it's not just about wearing, you know, a catalog best or helmet. obviously, these are the basic requirements in any combat situation or dangerous situation. the thing that must be done is that the world needs to hold israel accountable because they're going to get away with it. once again, i really think people should try and swap the. busy the countries out the

nationalities out and think how this would play out if, for example, russia had kill ukrainian journalists, you know, they, people will be calling for sanctions and to punish russia and sing. russia doesn't respect freedom of the press. so why do they let israel off the hook? why is it always ok for is to level press buildings like the sound, something out of a fantasy. and i cannot believe that the actually happened last year. it did. and i can't believe that that she had her face blown off this morning by sharpshooter. so this, these are the things that they allow israel to get away with because the united states and the u. k. and the you are, are giving them unconditional support. and as long as they do that, journalists and palestinians of the whole will will not be protected because the israelis can get away with those of all sorts of behavior with impunity. that is really the fundamental issue which is met has to independent journalist sounds, political commentator. thank you very much for your time. thank you. don't investigation is on the way off. he has requested more information on the incident form out there is bureau, but the israeli and palestinian science,

but it still to receive a response will get you updated now to asia where the u. s. a 7th fleet has, once again entered the taiwan strait to drawing criticism from chinese officials, will quote, sending the wrong signals to the islands earlier, the us state department, the edited website to move techs about not recognizing ty, ones, independence from china. china in return, referred to the incident of the quote trick by washington to advise its position on ty, one's political status, warning that the move would come back to hurt the us on he is caleb, more pain has more on countries that loggerheads with each other. 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 mentioned it may have 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, that facts cannot be denied, and right and wrong should not be distorted. sure, 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 and 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.
