when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, gas prices sky rocketing europe after ukraine suspends a key transit supply. ruth, while hungry panic said that proposed e u. m fargo on russian oil. with the ronald, there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what would be equal to an atomic bombing hungry economy in the events of a possible embargo on russian oil with british authorities raised the alarm off to more than a 100 incidents of open fire. the local home, as residents turn off the gap and resort to firewood to save money. as we discussed during biden's plan to prolong the war in ukraine by giving here $40000000000.00 more dollars in support for the panel of experts. ukraine is only a proxy to a larger issue for the united states,

or the military contractors can sell megawatts and billions and billions of dollars . they're more than happy to keep award. and you can go with, i thought a special coverage focus is on the untold story that ukrainian refugee, many of whom have played to russia despite the objections from here. ah, i will welcome based on the international with the world news update is good to happy with gas prices in europe have surge to $1100.00 per 1000 cubic meters. as off the ukraine's transit operator announced it will stop sending one 3rd of the russian gas that travels through the country and into europe. the ukrainian operate to say the gas will no longer be accepted through 2 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, these are valid reasoning behind, keeps move, as all of moscow's operations remain in order restroom near food. she just problem has not received any confirmation of the circumstance of the forced measure clothes . we did not see any obstacles for continuing to work in the previous smoke 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 talk diplomat, angelina bad thought 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 have 3 of 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 night. 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 work places. germany has reportedly failed to reach an agreement with katha on alternative energy supply. that's off the bill and turned to the gulf states 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. i go home, i 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 a 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 economies 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 support of the great reset program from closed swap. and it's only got club then it doesn't make very much sense. and then she succeeds in her plan to crush the german, all the european economy. a member hungary say that cannot agree to a complete and bar go on russian oil imposed because such me 5 brussels would annihilate the country's economy. they want to book, you know, there are no proposed solutions on dealing with what would be equal to an atomic bombing of hungary economy. but 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 match with the 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 still be moved as the union cannot proceed without the unanimous decision. some other 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 2nd post allan barbara jury by the end of the suite because you asked about the other countries here. there are the refuse they're wanting voices are hungary slop achia check republic and also by gary anne reece 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 plant 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 and delivery disruptions. millions of people in the u. k. may reportedly be unable to pay the energy bills in the coming months to reduce the expenses on he thinks on british locals are now starting open fires inside their own homes. as our teeth shall a deep ascii 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 15 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 pay and 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 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. they 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. forrest johnson sparked ango when he boasted that it was, in fact, he who had given pensioners a free bus pass kind of missing the point. 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 family is 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, overt rising energy bills, as european leaders trying to agree on a new batch of sanctions to halt or oil imports from russia. there is still resistance from some members hungry leader has described this option as a kid 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 full costs, 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 prophecy process 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 happens because the people in charge or a highly capitalized and so have benefited from it and are effectively becoming enslaved to the see can on existence. inflation went up the roof. so i think it's horrible. i say, unless you have a family that's able to help you young people or purchase a property, it's a serious issue and i think the market will crash. you have x amount each week if

you're a certain wage, and thereafter, if you have no extra the next. and joe, he, tim bused all the bills the into the do you do not have an extra 2 full bath except to, to moment the government trauma 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 meantime, he has promised care that a $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 promised vladimir zalinski another $130000000.00 at the g 7 meeting yesterday? yeah. where are we gonna get that? are you gonna 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 equipment and 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 key of winds who to now seems to want to transform his genocidal war into a frozen conflict in ukraine. he 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 folks, news claimed 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, their 1st $1000000000.00 that, that the president committed to ukraine did include legal assistance and that was before. but before i decided to move in earlier, we discussed the issue with

a panel of guests. ukraine is only a proxy to, 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 question all of this and pushing russia to the hill, nato, the nato countries never would have found themselves in this position. they never would have wanted to have a war. the u. s. couldn't succeed in afghanistan, work in iraq. the idea of them succeeding against russian, his, his slim to non existent. however, as long as the military contractors can sell mega weapons and billions and billions

of dollars, they are more than happy to keep a war ending 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 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 yes. in the southern tier, russia holes 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, 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 it's biden. who knows how to end this tomorrow. a village in russia southwest belgrade region has been shown by ukraine's military, according to the local governor, one person has been killed and 3 others 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 in ukraine as an unprovoked attack, russian foreign minister sergey la rob has accused the west of making a concerted effort to undermine the principles of sovereign states and a joint press conference with the a 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 achievements of all the goals set within its framework will help stop the attack of the west to undermine international law, ignore and grossly violate the principle of the un charter, including the principle of the suffering. equality of states,

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 property correct and everyone should accept on the prospects of a war in europe. we do not want that to you, 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 admitted into ation. you can surely grow your own conclusions, the sanctity of private property. the presumption of innocence, everything that western civilization are boasted all these years. as a fundamental principles of it said formations, all of this has been derailed and grossly violated. we have already drawn our own conclusion. i guess we will depend on ourselves, and our reliable partners of the vast majority of them are outside the so called elite of the way and world, which was a lot more than 6000000 people have left the ukraine since the start of the war with around 8000000 displaced according to us 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 there also launched a special series to bring you some of the untold stories here, the teaser of the 1st episode. some did manage to escape key of control tara treason, to flee, to russia like alone, a him way down until sir complete the when the conflict begin on february 24th, we did not leave until the last moment 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 was though i would like to return to see the city resort. i would return to normal life. but here and talking to rogue, he 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, what he fled to russia, say they're pleased with that resettlement. 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 nationally, nick, immediately my if you needed to nick me, my when i did the school, the judge, except you weren't able to do anything for them. 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.

ah ah, i don't believe with many like this a family from the frontline town, a resume which is now under the russian control. drew very explicit conclusions out of all this lena, unafraid to live for another 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 savings. 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, we do not believe what ukrainian television says. we know that we used to leave together russia and ukraine. in addition, when, if all families, i mixed both russia and ukraine and i do not think russia should be fear. i'm sorry, and why identity the children also brought all that there is nothing to fear in the russian people crush. february 23rd is still defense of the fatherland day and may, 9th is still the extra day we still celebrate, 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 alicia. i my friends and relatively i'm not afraid to go there. i the scary here with

a palestinian alledge is there a 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 of claimed each other for the death of sharina. claire, who was also a us citizen, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. the 30 chose the moments after the veteran correspond. it was short 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 is there a statement claimed the actually was assassinated, imposed in a blatant murder, violating international laws and 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, sharina o'clock. 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 met 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 effect, her entire face was, was blown off. it's honestly gut wrenching. and i find incredible that, you know, the israeli prime minister after the bennett 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 these really foreign ministry posts where they claim that she might have been hit by a palestinian gunman. 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. 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, not just from 0. 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. and 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 who are wearing bullet proof vests for wearing a capital investment wearing a helmet. this is very, very clear. an investigation is now on the way author has requested more information on the incident from al jazeera bureau and both the israeli and palestinian science. but it is still to receive a response will keep you updated now to asia, where the us 7th fleet has once again entered the taiwan straits. during criticism from chinese officials will quote, sending the wrong signals to the island. earlier the usa department edited its website to move it takes about not recognizing tie one's 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 status warning that the move would come back to her. the u. s. is caleb morgan has more on countries, 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 say 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 fact 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 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 are hinting at a rather strong response to such political manipulation of the ty. 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 us 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. the binding 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, close of its type diplomat 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.
