ah, so ah, gas prices sky rocketing year, a talk to ukraine suspends a key transit supply. ruth, while hungry panic, said that proposed the un paul go on russian oil we want to put you on hold because there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what will be due to an atomic bombing of hungary economy in the event of a possible embargo on russian oil with british authorities raise the alarm off to more than a 100 incidents of open fires at the local home. as residents turn off the gap and with the firewood to save money. as we discussed during biden's plans to prolong the war in ukraine by giving here $40000000000.00 more dollars in support of the panel of experts. ukraine is only a proxy to

a larger issue for the united states or the military contractors come so mega, what? billions and billions of dollars, they're more than happy to keep award and walk away. so i thought a special coverage focus is on the on told stories of ukrainian refugee, many of whom have played to russia despite objections with welcome based on the international with the world news update is good to happy with not gas prices in europe have such $21100.00 per 1000 cubic meters. as off to ukraine's transit operates are announced, it will stop sending one 3rd. if the russian gas that travels through the country and into europe, the ukrainian operate to say the gas will no longer be accepted through to distribution stations, fighting technological and operational medlin's. i caused unforeseeable circumstances preventing contract obligations from being fulfilled the pipelines in

question. i used to transit gas to hungary, austria, germany on slovakia with the economies of those countries now expected to bear the brunt of ukraine suspension of transit rushes. gowns from says if these are valid reasoning behind keeps move, as all of moscow's operations remain in order restroom, no food, she gas problem has not received any confirmation of the circumstance of the false measure close. we do not see any obstacles for continued to work in the previous month. during transit has been provided in full. there would be no complaints from the counts of houses to renew the transfer of volumes to switzer face on the russian flow scheme of his technologically impossible. meanwhile, germany's top diplomat, angelina bayard balk, has been met with a wave of criticism from some of her national colleagues as not as after she said berlin intends to completely stop its importance of energy supplies from russia. ah, may 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. in fact, he got, that is why we are decisively reducing our dependence on russian energy to 0 and doing so forever. in that 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. that's off the bill and turned to the golf state. i made efforts to cut dependence on imports from russia council allegedly was to secure a contract for at least 20 years with guarantees the discount 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 to the importance from german political commentator, hama, say the sanctions don't seem to be holding russia,

but are instead crushing european economies respect to the to mrs. bad bach, she and the rest of her ministry has no, no clue on economy adult. so what she is doing is she is talking things that somebody told her to talk about or to, to say, but this doesn't make anything for the german economy. it's the catastrophe. it is a catastrophe because without energy, the economy breaks apart. we have already the highest energy costs in the world. we already have the highest taxation and other give away costs in the world. so the, what we have to pay to the government is already the highest in the world. this makes it altogether a disadvantage against all the economy in the world. this is tremendous that you has no plan. and this is like most things the you does, it is without caught through, it's not working. and it is

a big disaster in the sense of the people. but if you consider that the, you're the head of the commission law on the line is a great supporter of the great reset program from close shop. and it's only got club then it does make very much sense. and then she succeeds in her plan to crush the german or the european economy. and you remember hungry says it cannot agree to it a complete and bar go on russian oil impose because such me 5 brussels would annihilate the country's economy. a book you run okay, there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what would be equal to an atomic bombing upon greece. economy in the event of a possible embargo on russian oil imports. hungary resistance to the proposed e. u ban on russian oil imports has intensified off the hungary 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 has now stalled b. e. u. move as the union cannot proceed without a unanimous decision from other e. u members, including greece, are also faring for their economies. we discussed the crisis with austria's former foreign minister carrying can i so there are several voices claiming that an oil embargo can be imposed. a certain post i'll embargo jury by the end of this week the because you asked about the other countries here, there are the refuse there warning voices are hungary slop achia check republic and also by gary in greece to a certain extent. ah, what might most probably happen is that they will receive exemptions phasing out clauses. there were some carrot and stick treatment, but so far the hungarian position has been

a very blunt one. 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 their energy bills in the coming months to reduce expenses on hating. some british locals are now starting open fires inside their own homes. as our teeth shall a dip, eskew reports rising energy prices have been a concern for months. but now the reality is really hating 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 whole sale market. now, sanctions against russia, as a result of the warring crane, have pushed markets hot as countries scramble to sure 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 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 foyer 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. 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 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 new members. hungry leader has described 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. expos have warned that the inflation rate in the u. k. has reached an uncomfortably high level after exceeding all forecasts with the numbers reportedly expected to keep rising. for years, we took 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 the state of the, our measure of inflation has been. it's an absolute crime. it's an economic crime that has been allowed to happen. and the reason has been allowed to happen because the people in charge or a highly capitalized and so have benefited from it and are effectively becoming a slave to the see, cannot make 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 a property. it's a serious issue. i think the market will cost you have x amount each week if you're

a certain wage. and thereafter, if you have no extra the next and your heating bills on the bills the into the do you do not have an extra 2 full bath except to, to mona, the government, to do something about the u. s. president has expressed concern about russia's strategy in ukraine, claiming moscow does not have a way out of its military campaign. in the mean time, he has promised here that the $40000000000.00 worth of weapons and support from 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 looked like 3rd world countries. now

the newly signed ukraine democracy defense lend lease act up date. the 1941 law which the us used to help allies during world war 2. it allows america to expedite military equipments and other supplies to ukraine and with will heavy weaponry on the way some us officials on suggesting the only way out of the conflict is if key as 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. meanwhile, pentagon press secretary, john kirby and his latest and to be with fox news, claimed that there was a flow of lethal weapons from the u. s. to ukraine, before the conflict even started the by the ministration 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 or iraq. the idea of them succeeding against russian is 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 is 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 prussia 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 in the southern tier, russia holes in the west continues to provide billions of dollars of 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 in the, not the foot, but in the head. this could stop tomorrow. if there was any slow down on the part of by, 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 say, he doesn't know what it would take for putting it out. we got to say that it's biden who knows how to and this tomorrow a village in russia, southwest belgrade region, has been challenged by ukraine's military. according to the local governor, one person has been killed and 3 others that wounded some property has been destroyed and emergency services are understood to be assisting those in the area.

ah, the russian defense ministry has said that 15 ukrainian command points were destroyed overnight in a south and southeast of the country, along with 17 ammunition deficit to some of a total of $500.00 military targets destroyed. while western nations denounced the operation and ukraine as an unprovoked attack, russian foreign minister circ, a lot of rep, has accused the west of making a concerted effort to undermine the principles of sovereign states and joint press conference with the money. foreign minister lathrop added that he hopes the successful resolution of the operation will help alleviate such west and attacks with the games that we expect that the completion of our military operation and the achievement of all the goals within its framework will help stop the attack of the west to undermine international law, ignore and grossly violate the principles of the un charter, including the principle of the sovereign equality of states. will force the west to

stop promoting the so called unipolar world under the dominance of the united states and its allies. the era colonialism is the things that everyone should accept on the prospects of a war in europe. we do not want to read, but i would like to draw your attention to the fact that it is the west that repeatedly and says that russia must be defeated in this situation. you can surely throw your own conclusions in the sanctity of private property. the presumption of innocence, everything that western civilization are boasted all these years, this fundamental principles of its state formations. all of this has been derailed and grossly violated. we have already drawn our own conclusion that we will depend on ourselves and our reliable partners of the vast majority of whom are outside the so called elite of the way in world, which is a lot more than 6000000 people have left. ukraine says the stars of the war with around 8000000 displaced according to you and data experts say the crisis has already become one of the biggest in europe's history. and it will affect almost

all of the continents. russia has taken a more than $1000000.00 of the refugees despite ukraine warning its citizens against going, the author has launched a special series to bring you some of the untold stories he, the teaser of the 1st episode. some did manage to the escape key of control turn trees and the fleet to rush up like a lorna here. my uncle dan until 2nd week, the, when the conflict begin on february 24th, we did not leave until the last moments since they did not let us out. we arrived at the russian refugee center ourselves, volunteers, medicine the border and offered us water and food. and while there's no place like home alone, i can definitely see her future in the small russian port city. she's in right now or so i would like to return to see the city restored. i would return to normal life, but we will hear and talking to rogue. keith has been accused of trying to intimidate people into believing it would be dangerous to evacuate to russia in

a narrative echoed by mainstream western media, but some ukrainians. people ready fled to rush as they pleased with their re settlement. that his part of the 2nd episode of our special coverage 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 left clinic immediately my napkin, female get to nickname my. when i did miss cooley, which judge accept you, when they call it a, 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.

with many like this of family, from the frontline town, a resume which is now under the russian control. drew very explicit conclusions out of all this land, unafraid to leave for not the country we are afraid to stay here. we are afraid that we will start sharing here we have small children. we are afraid for the safety. for 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. when he did him, did we do not believe what ukrainian television says? we know that we used to live together, russia, ukraine. in addition, when, if all families are mixed, both russian and ukrainian, i do not think russia should be feared. i'm sorry that and why identity the children also brought out that there is nothing to here in the russian people. russ, february 23rd is still defense of the fatherhood day and may nines is still victory day. we still slippery, just like we use it in their pursuit to paint russians grotesquely, evil ukraine's in for war battalions to try so hard. they went completely overboard yet, i've never been to the russian. i have friends and relatives in the i'm new to free to go there. i had a scary here. ah. a

palestinian al jazeera journalist has been shot dead during an israeli army rate on the west bank refugee camp of jen. and both israel and the palestinian authority inflamed each other for the death of serene upper class. he was also a us citizen, a warning you may find the following image is disturbing. the for to chose the moment soft, the veteran correspond, it was so apparently in the face despite wearing a press best had produced, there was also shot in a stable condition. according to the palestinian health ministry. the body of the journalist has been taken to a local morgue and now just there, a statement claims the actually was assassinated, imposed in a blatant murder, violating international laws in norms. the israeli occupation forces assassinated in cold blood al jazeera is 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 and autopsy with the palestinian authority, which has refused. the author, palestinians believed that the report was murdered by as well. 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, okla 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. independent journalist and political commentator,

which had made her say, it's unclear how the slain journalist could it be mistaken for a competence. we've all seen the videos there, absolutely her epic, her entire face was, was blown off. it's almost the gut wrenching. and i find incredible that, you know, the israeli prime minister laughter, the bennett or these really foreign ministry are putting out these claims, these mis that she was killed by palestinian gunfire. so i've seen the twitter video that the 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 live 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 a very precise marksmanship, but the entire group of journalists,

the other journalists that she was with her colleagues from other news agency. so not just from algebra, they were also being shot at. and you can see that in the multiple videos that have been released this morning. and this is very clearly it's an attack on the press. as i find it very hard to believe that these really forces cannot tell the difference between so called palestinian gunmen and journalists who have very clear press markings or wearing bullet proof vests for wearing a capital investment wearing a home. it is very, very clear. an investigation is now under way author has requested more information on the incident from al jazeera bureau and both the israeli and palestinian science . but it still to receive a response will keep you updated now to asia, where the us 7th fleet has once again and to be taiwan straits drawer and criticism from chinese officials for quote, sending the wrong signals to the island. earlier the usa department, the edited its website to move it takes about not recognizing taiwanese independence from china, china in return, referred to the incident as

a quote trick by washington to revise his position on ty, one's political states, as warning that the move would come back to her the u. s. r t is, caleb morgan has more on countries at 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 in that fact cannot be denied and right and wrong should not be distorted. she made. so what exactly did washington do? well, they edited their website and they removed the part about not recognizing the island as being independent of china. here's what it used to say. united states recognized 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're hinting at a rather strong response to on such political manipulation of the tie. one question and the attempt to change the status quo across the taiwan strait will hurt the us itself in this that 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 u. s. media and politicians beating the drum against china. american public opinion has been impacted as well. a gallup 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 by the ministration seems just not have caused enough raucous. 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 neoconservative 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.
