a a not the crew is sheldon, done? yes. republic with 2 carmen, wounded and taken off, but so they're working on the mining and essentially the general plan is to bring back to power the power plant over there and bring back the so much needed electricity supply to the city of more. you are corresponding witnesses, the d mining operation multiple as the city still goes to return to normal life and the, the ongoing fighting at the assault deal funds and the pay is the same as the protest against the demolition of a soviet area. memorial in the countries capital and she since been released. ah, this very police confront morning the funeral of an algebra journalist killed

during classes in the west bank with palestinian and israeli officials blaming each other for the tragedy. ah, you're watching our t internationally 7 air moscow time saturday morning. my name is peter scott and wherever you join us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. and r t. crew has come on the shelf fire in the dentist republic to cover men have been injured. are now in hospital or get out the proper lip of ikea properly. but the run around, you know, i did the right. it's all happened at the gas station in the city of dock, which i ask in the center of the den. yes. republic. everyone who was the had been running for cover to nearby store one man was hit in the head by shrapnel and died on the spot. the crew claimed the shells loads and sounded like a rocket launcher. was really quick. another probably so we drove by stopped at the

gas station to drink some coffee and showing starting with apparently it was a grad rocket launcher. well, because there was explosion after explosion and we barely managed to run into the mill. but your law much all of you know, posing that made it did look like a grass there was about 8 shells shot in total. we were lucky because one guy who stood nearby didn't survive. if we didn't run in time, we wouldn't have survival to talk about the whole russia and, and yes, republic, joint rescue services are conducting early stage reconstruction in cities in the dom bus region there in debris and explosives from the area. they've also begun supplying the cities in it on the republican ukraine with water and humanitarian aid. the while ukrainian officials have warned that 10000 people can die from water contaminated by 2, which run off after the water supply. as we started, the advised that the may also warned of a possible epidemic caused by bodies still buried in the ruble throughout the city . as fighting continues the as of steel factory on the outskirts of new pull

attempts be made to return some semblance of normal life to the devastated city. but invisible threats still remain as many unexploded munitions lies scattered around. he goes down to the senses, his report from a local power station is currently being cleared by a stop as brigades. so the sap is of the joint force of rush and the next people's republic. they are right now working on d mining this field. you can see him probing the ground over there after the metal detector. beeped saying, suggesting that something explosive might be that, well, apparently it was a false alarm. so we can still safely move kind of following in the footsteps. and they're working on d mining and essentially the general plan is to bring back to power the power plant over there and bring back the so much needed electricity supply to the city of mario po. this is not the 1st time sap as i've had to comb through this field. normally,

multiple efforts are required to remove this sign. reading danger. mine's a little some key infrastructure like the hospital is functioning once again, but that's a small step group of monitoring a house. but i can see mining brigade is currently checking the area for unexploded ordinances. they were planted by the ukrainian forces, the territory. we've been tossed with is very large. we haven't been to the city yet. now wait clearing power lines since energy is one of the 1st needs of the population is necessary that the electricians are able to restore the infrastructure and provide supplies for the residential areas. as much work to do, the main power line to dentist has already been checked and cleared. so power grid workers has started the restoration that will go with sounds of blood from the as

of star steel plant, still rumbling through mar, you pull the rest of the city, his trying to scramble together bits of peaceful life. those remaining in murray who are used to hearing cannon aids both day and night. but some of these blas actually sounds of approaching peace, not war amish dawn of reporting from our hugo. our t questions have been asked about unused reports by the u. s. network cnn, which had an interview with the ukrainian soldier and claims that killing russians has become like a sport sam, finding the seal ache when it's not funny to see sexual, very strange when you see like her people being killed and you're like, yeah, very weird feeling to be honest, but it's like the support knowledge and all signs of extremist views. her featured in a number of western media reports during the war. but given little comments. the bbc for example, interviewed, and as of soldier who had an s s division budge on his jackets,

while the sun newspaper showed a funeral ceremony. but in mention, and attendee wearing another s s division sign journalist, an author daniela's are gave us his take on the medias. response the corporate media, cnn, 1st and foremost, has turn itself into a cheerleader for the mouth, for the american military. and therefore it is like no cheering on the, on the war fever cheering on the blood thirsty. ready ness correspondence should have said something of the correspondence should not have pitched in so gladly should not have encouraged the the, the ukrainian. busy soldier, it has shown a complete incapacity for any kind of critical thought. it isn't normalization of, of anti russian violence and it's very dangerous. it spread and in terms of violence against russian individuals in europe or america, violence is spreading and the corporate media are supremely irresponsible.

and egging this on moscow's shifting his position on ukraine's membership of the european union with russia's top diplomats saying the block is turning into nato's quotes, aggressive accessory, and moving away from its founding games with the problem of the knock, useless of keys desire to join the you raises serious doubts, the european union has turned from a constructive economic platform as it was created to be into an aggressive militant player. they follow nato's lead, thereby confirming their integration with the north atlantic alliance, and will essentially perform the functions of its accessory. meanwhile, the defense ministers of russia in the us held talks on friday for the 1st time since the outbreak of the war in ukraine. moscow says the phone call was initiated by washington to discuss the most pressing issues of international security. fence again, claims a cold for a cease fire in ukraine,

but both sides emphasize the importance of bilateral communications during this crisis. william mullins, in a former british diplomats and professor of political ideas and institutions as google mo, marconi university believes europe is simply following the u. s anita lead and its relations with russia. europe is literally an appendage at the moment of the us. the simplest that they call it nature and don't forget, paradoxically, that nature was begun to keep america in russia out and germany down. and that is exactly where we are again now, when turkey invaded cyprus, for example, to apparently protect turkey speakers in cyprus, lewis did nothing a tool, and now they've become totally hysterical. after being posed for years and threatens for years. russia tried to protect its own brothers in what still call the ukraine. then there's a huge amount of people proceed. i think little being understood,

and it will come through because at the end of the day when the, his syria dies down, economics will make sense. and you're probably going to see some european companies saying, hey, look, do we really want to be an appendage? because at the moment we are moving on now and allowed to be a member of the european parliament. such managed knock has been released as have been detained. on friday as a protest against the demolition of a war memorial to soviets, soldiers in the countries capital, reger the politician, had reportedly been urging demonstrates as to go home. as after police had been told to take a 0 tolerance approach to the protest. that's after the levine government reportedly began preparing to demolish the war memorial. moscow has condemned the decision saying it defies any reasonable explanation. accused lover of being the quote, most aggressive rissa, phobic ally of the you and nato, the editor in chief of funny love. you revealed more about the day's events we did the shuttle events have made the tents,

showed that the police did not intend to joke all their warnings. a very serious that people who've been detained at such events and no longer just threatened with administrative punishment for violating law on rallies, but they can also face criminal charges for justifying genocide. this is the article that in principle, hangs over any person who says something positive about the russian authorities and the conduct of the special operation in ukraine. and this is from 5 to 15 years in prison. therefore, when the organizes of today's protests and these were by the russian union of latvia, and the harmony party learned from the police, that there would be 0 tolerance for all those who had gathered the harmony party immediately refused to hold this event. and the supporters of the russian union of latvia, nevertheless, decided to leave, in order not to expose them to arrests and detentions the leader of the party tried to warn them and inform them about the cancellation of the rally. but she was detained. crowds gathered in the town hall square to protest against the statues potential demolition. it came out to live in parliament past the bill. suspending

an agreement with russia on the preservation of 2nd world war monuments protest is also demanded the right to express their opinion freely. until like every person has the right to speak them on rods. and these demonstrations not minding the fact that the police, i think every person no more, in fact the police person away. i really hope this comes to an end in a good way. i really hope that people will have their free speech back in march. come to re, humphrey, i don't want a normally that boy that garage about that there you my yes that i know the river got them after the last protest which took place on may the

10th $23.00 investigations have been launched into some of those who gathered at the memorial, after being outraged by the removal of flowers laid in honor of this week's victory day commemorations. now one of the cases was brought against a young man for carrying a russian flag. we spoke to his mother to get more details. and he told us that is in your credit, my son, alexander, was arrested under the article of genocide and crimes against humanity. the maximum prison term is up to 5 years on the 9th of may. my son knox police officers, why did the russian flag was banned? in latvia, they said it was on may the 8th and none, but on may the town, it was not on made the terms to police officers approached alexander and asked him to put the flag away after long conversation they apologized. let my son go there. alexander late flowers and candles, and one hour later he was detained out 2 flats have been searched on my hard drive and seen kyle were taken my son, his trust. now of course now the tensions emerged after all sorts is used. bulldoze

is to clear flowers brought by locals to the monuments for the maintenance of the today commemorations. no response that people brought even more flowers to the sides with the police then completely blocking off the area riga has been one of the most vocal critics of moscow's actions in ukraine. that is in chief of sputnik live here, believes there's no justification for such aggressive actions from the authorities . lou, who naturally nothing can justify and explain such a reaction to people such repression to which they now subjected. on the other hand, latvia is always at the forefront of all western trends. and if there is now a trend towards the abolition of everything russian than latvia is leading, this movement, the russian speaking minority of the past 20 years, has already been so down from humiliated and artificially integrated and assimilated into lab in society. that essentially, in the last elections, there was no danger to the authorities. but apparently as a deputy of the reagan city council, from the russian union of latvia, said commentating on the decision to demolish the monument. these people already

have a taste of blood on their lips, so they want to deal with any objectionable manifestations as much as possible. now, those who gathered on may the 10th that the monument to the liberators or to day tried to come to the regus city hall or simply outraged, they all outraged that they are not allowed to live according to their traditions. babbitts, this constant demand for public loyalty, the constant public denial and chris in russia has become unbearable. the atmosphere in latvia for a russian speaking person is very difficult. despite unprecedented western sanctions against russia, the country's national currency, the rouble has been named as the world's best performing currency of the year. according to bloomberg. it has risen a little over 11 percent against the us dollars since january in. this comes as moscow requite exports is to sell foreign currency and tre partners to pay for energy in ports in roubles, ortiz, roman cost reports. russia has become the most sanctioned country in history.

those who impose there is frictions against moscow. all predicted the quick and inevitable crash of the russian economy. and the, that skewed sense of reality continues to dominate the minds of the collective west as further embargoes are introduced continuously. however, the sanctions have not only been ineffective, they have given momentum through the russian national currency. the rubel, the rubel resumed its advance against the dollar on wednesday as the moscow exchange reopened after 2 days of public holiday. it's now up more than 11 percent against the u. s. dollars since the start of the year. surpassing the reels, 9 percent advanced to become the top gainer among $31.00 major currencies. despite the wrath of sanctions designed to cripple the russian economy, the rubel has been the best performing global currency against the u. s. dollar. the west, however, prefers to play, make believe, and presents its own truth to its political use consumer. as

a result of these unprecedented sanctions rule, almost immediately reduced to rubble. the so called anti crediting coalition, along with ukraine, claims that the whole world stands united against moscow. but that's not the whole picture. rush of natural resources are still in high demand, and most nations prefer to trade rather than get involved in the sanctions game for political reasons. moscow now demands that all oil payments are made in roubles, and ever more european union buyers seems to be planning to comply with the new payment system. so now it isn't just the dollar that the rubel has gained ground on the euro's value as also fallen. it's $1.00 to $20.00 levels. the data at hand therefore does not point to an abrupt plunge and activity, at least for now. so what's more important reality on the grounds or the seemingly eternal narrative that rushes economy is in shambles due to the sanctions war all

indicators, points of the fact that moscow seems to thrive with each added restriction against its economy. are unprecedented. package of coordinated sanctions has already significantly hindered russia's war of aggression by limiting access to financial channels, inability to pursue their objectives. these restrictive measures are already having a significant impact on all russian economic sectors, financial trade, defense, technology, and energy, and will intensify pressure on russia over time. russia has been under western economic pressure for quite some time, attempts to weaken its economy and other development as well, has now caught up with a well being of ordinary people, both europe and elsewhere around the world. but so the answer russian political leads continue to convince themselves and everyone else that everything is going according to plan. well, if shooting themselves in the foot is the plan. they seem to be on the right path.

i don't think those that imposed those sanctions wake suspecting the rubel to do this. well, the fact is that since 2014, with a thanks of kicking in the international financial markets being already at that time becoming increasingly hostile, both russia, there was a kind of market based discrimination against russia. they were aiming at russia, but not really achieving that. but actually if you look at the logic behind this, the sanctions, it is essentially sanctions imposed by the u. s. on the europe to heard the european economy. they're not really sanctions to heard russia, which is very difficult to do when you all are, you know, the largest economy, the largest country in the world and, and one of the largest, you know, economies that spam from europe to asia, that is able to trade with the entire world and all the news is

really security forces have clashed with mourners of the funeral of an al jazeera journalist in palestine, sharina abu i clay was killed on wednesday, while reporting in the westbank. ah, this is what it shows police confronting those attending the funeral as they try to move the caskets on foot and don't clear what exactly caused the rest. the coffin was late to deliver to church by car, thousands of palestinians to parts in mourning for the journalist who lost her life amid recent wave attentions his how events unfolded. ah, a quick warning. now you may find some the following image is disturbing. this footage shows the moments after the al jazeera journalist was killed during an

israeli army rate in the town of jen palestinian authorities on the tv channel. the self blame is ready, so just for the journalist, death is joe said, both soldiers and palestinian militants were firing at the time and called for a joint investigation which palestine has refused. ortiz dalinta murray. reports from the funeral. attacks from journalists are taking place at many entrances to the old city. we were prohibited from passing, and just now we've managed to get to the funeral procession. there are a lot of important people from jerusalem and across palestine participating in the funeral procession of our colleague coming through the old city to the resting place where she will be buried in a grave prepared in advance. you rarely see such a crowd in jerusalem. it hasn't happened for decades and maybe it's the 1st time we'll see so solemn funeral versus foreign minister. so gay love law of has been so i'll jerry and amman and what's the 1st. busy middle east and north africa source

since the start of the war in ukraine, the region has remain neutral and it's tons over the conflicts. love, rosa vision comes as the west pushing north africa to help europe because it's dependency on vs gas and oil. algeria though, has repeatedly stressed, he likes the capacity to meet the demands in the short term. the country has remained a reliable partner from moscow with the algerian lead a thing. the 2 countries are moving towards establishing a deep and strategic partnership. now, immediately after visiting algeria rothschild man, waits, foreign minister said muskets doesn't intensive for more oil and help isolates moscow. nice despite pressure coming from the west, amman apparently intends to remain committed to the limits agreed by the opec plus group to get a better understanding of the situation of folding in the middle east. we heard from janice and analysts are the risk. ready the west has been approaching the algeria actually of the star. shortly after the start of the military operation in ukraine. the west was approaching anthony,

blinking the u. s. foreign secretary here visited algeria. and i would assume that one of the items discussed was how jerry could intervene to make up any shortages if an embargo was imposed. and i think that other european countries have also have a similar stance and took a similar approach towards algeria. now will, are the jury or respond favorably to such a demand? i believe that the answer is likely no one and it's not just about the jury nobility. by the way, i think it's also about jury politics. we can say that the american clout and the american ability to be able to push a certain congress to adopt similar, similar positions to washington is gradually weakening. just a quick point about all man. i think the interesting part of all man is the the medic perspective and we all know that all mom plays a key role as a mediator. it has a history. so i think the visit on a particular, in the case of russia, him tends to play an even bigger role in the middle east by enhancing his toys with

these very important mediating players. a poll in the u. k. shows only just under a quarter of those quiz were aware of hunger crisis playing out in east and africa, which has tens of millions of people in its grip. the on of africa is a region consisting of 4 states, and more than 140000000 people. it was previously partially administered by britain and yos. have warned. the global focus on the ukraine. conflicts may distract the world from of the large crises. you and experts had been wanting of a crisis in the air if a month before the start of the war in ukraine, 3 failed rainy seasons have caused the worst drought in the region in 40 years. the problem was exacerbated by the war in ukraine as well as sanctions imposed on russia, which is the world's main. we export to the situation of cause grain prices to skyrocket. russia faces problems exporting goods to global market after limitations

on financial mechanisms and goods, transportation. an associate professor at the university of south africa says that the confidence has been living in a state of conflicts for a long time. that is, problems shouldn't be forgotten. i leave conflict on daily basis. there is a drive in kentucky and our team we see immediate weak if the west and community has already arrived by making sure that that got into bob was wrong because they were was funded by the western countries. once i've been says, i knew the cost of the in, in making sure that i was in, based on issues pitted into funding. i would say, so be just fine but then dive into 5 in july and start from there.

well, board is, do i have been doing is to give more debt for i don't trying to give them money. and also now she go this, you know, i think i run on the market. it's in time to make that produce with them come to us disinformation governance board chief nina young coleridge is claiming that trustworthy verified people like her should be given the power to edit other users post on twitter and even add some background info like in. we can p d a i am eligible for it because i'm verified. but there are a lot of people who shouldn't be verified who aren't, you know legit in my opinion. i mean they are real people but they're not trustworthy. but there are those who don't see the disinformation governance board as a necessary authority in itself. 20 attorneys, general form conservative states are demanding is dissolution, claiming the board will have

a chilling effect on freedom of expression and may 20 users agree with this point of view is what some have been saying about the proposal to let's verified uses at its other people's posts you couldn't have picked a worse minister of truth the nina yankovic all the joe biden bootlegs look more stupid than ever. this woman wants to let blue checks at it, other people's tweets if they see something misleading. as if biden's new disinformation board have nina yankovic hasn't shown herself to be crazy enough already. she now states that she wants to verify twitter users like herself to edit other people's trees. this woman is dangerous and unhinged. well, the executive director of an hyphenated america, christopher harris says freedom of speech implies the existence of different opinions. we have freedom of speech, united states, america, and freedom of speech basically means even the freedom to say things that other people don't like. and this is one of the major problems that we're having united

states right now. you have a whole factor all sector within the government of this country, especially when the government has a problem with anyone saying anything that they don't watch. it's a lot easier to infringe upon somebody's freedom of speech when you're the only one who has a gun. but when you're dealing with another person, also has a firearm. you have to deal with them a little bit more a little bit differently. you have to use your words, you have to use some logic with them. you can't threaten the use of force with them . and because those people had a different opinion, they empower them to basically sanction invalidate everything. or basically even keep people off the platform for saying things that they disagree with. a med, what's been described as the worst economic crisis in shoreline, because history, hundreds of people continue to process on the streets, the money, the resignation of the presidents. the demonstrations which began last month and by

then this week after 9 people were killed and at least 300 injured several homes on public property as well. so sets a light the government order troops to shoot anyone causing harm to life. the process started after the collapse of shilling because national currency, which caused a spike in prices and the shortage of essential items, including food medicine and fuel. local journalists, do some vast sensors. and this report that be some weeks since the month about their new employment of the prime minister and the prime minister. had bob do appoint a he's cabinet of committees does. so by next monday that is the 16th of me. 7 be involved me is going to be quite a lot because the parliament will be conveyed. so it's going to be once again a week in full of all the happenings and rama people who participate in the president to step down. people asking, doing up, lining up in the fuel station, running into kilby does asking for wheel. and there's

a lot of elderly gas and does. there are a power cuts in fuel lanka, but read the new appointment of all these are new mean is does. and the prime minister there are there that that would be something in the light at the end of the toner with us, your bank of the day, with all the latest from around the world. do feel free to with all t dot com for more stories. my name is peter scott, will be back again in around 30 minutes time. ah. ah, the pool. so let's say is booting fun for both for us is just like his predecessor, he's a fan of the movie, the color of transition. and they may have to wait for a normalization on the only see russia relations why the need. so because date

acknowledge the fact that the west can not to be around 3 scam ice again, the west is lost to the west and through the post. pretty scam ever ah a dweller you talk, you're right, you have a.
