picking up the extra work to help themselves out with the government, apparently powerless to do anything about soaring consumer prices, which hobble ready, hit a 40 year high with a very warm welcome. this is on the international with the latest world news update . it's a pleasure to have your company that turkey has reportedly blocked the official process of accepting finland and sweden and to nato. it comes to dow is off the nordic countries handed in the applications at the headquarters of the military block, encore says it's against seeing the 2 countries joined the alliance unless they stopped supporting rebel groups including cuts and hand over suspects that turkey coals, terrorists, swedish on finish officials were reportedly planning to visit on career for talks, but turkeys presidents they, they shouldn't bother trying to woo him. we get him is done. our only expectation
5:02 pm
from nato allies is for them to 1st understand our sensitivity respect and finally support it. so what is our sensitivity in protecting our borders from terror attacks? you won't give us back terrorists, but you ask us for nato membership. nato is an entity for security and organization for security. therefore, we cannot say yes and the security organization being deprived of security. they, accession of the 2 nordic countries requires the approval of all 30 nato members with their decision then requiring ratification by national parliaments. and that process is expected to take up to one year. we gauged opinions on the streets of the swedish capital, where some locals have mixed feelings about ditching that countries neutrality. i think that the country within nato also through it exercises different kinds. but it's still i think it's a big shift for our identity. i think it's
5:03 pm
a bad one because we have always been free from such associations and it would be hard because i can, i can discount people together over being dependent on already and so on. i think it's the right decision to make right now, but that doesn't mean that we abandon our, our foreign or defense politics because we can change not from within. i think anchors move has led to fresh tensions within nato with the us and its allies pushing for sweden and finland to join. the blog is not the only point of tension between the nato member states, though with greece. his prime minister has asked us congress to nick the deal to sell advanced weaponry to turkey, denouncing ankara as a source of instability. the last thing that made on each at a time, one of focus is on helping ukraine defeat russia's. aggression
5:04 pm
is another source of instability on nato's south eastern flank and ask you to take this into account when you make defense procurement decisions concerning the eastern mediterranean. the great leader has expressed concern about biden's proposal to approve $400000000.00 worth of weapons for turkey, including more than miss styles and equipment to anchorage place of american made in 16 fighter jets. while greece itself is producing a deal to find the latest lockheed martin as $35.00 jets turkey for mr. is currently in washington awaiting a beating with his american counterpart. the 3 major forces a former take it back to the, to the a. you told us that greece is in no position to buy expensive weapons from the united states. the degree got to choose it. so there are several reasons, so that if for the, for example,
5:05 pm
grease increases its territorial was the water. so 12 hours a would be internal c for grease and it's hard to ship. so what us permission to trust it agrees now is the army gets on the record, leave it behind the scene again, the united states, our friends are playing a major role. another point, greece is bankrupt country and they're buying from united states for $13000000000.00 worth of the claims. for example, what does this mean? ho? who is financing? and it is, if they're considered to be, and a country und dash deeply. and then, you know, this financing is gaming, go to sure. and while on correct,
5:06 pm
pushes back against the proposed expansion of nato. so much the media are listen now, spreading close to isolate turkey within the alliance community. and even pitching proposals that the country should be kicked out of the us led block christmas policies that are also can, i know it's not to know any more. it's time to external turkey. they don't let it go to russia, go to china, let it go to a scientist. and because those 10 believe somebody empowers are seeking to undermine taking is to western media, reflective voice of state governments. it's normal for such needs and they will issue to come out against or if the western media objective, i will talk that the less that they would consider these facts. although turkey hasn't been a member of nato since 1952 western countries,
5:07 pm
7 never stopped the anti turkish activities. i mean, it was what kind of for us that the members of nato, like united states of america, france, germany, belgium, sweden, and finland and others. also, they never stopped, not just the sport financially, but also finance for military terrorist organizations. like with j y, p g r, p y, d, and the good enters organization. also, my personal opinion. as long as western countries attacked a national interest, it make no sense for turkey to be in the same earlier with these countries. as i mean, the church in nor more share common interests or values with natal today. so i think that if the relation school like that between turkey and the best
5:08 pm
between the, the other network member, it's possible that she can quit in it. ah, let's go now to the latest pictures when he's by rushes, defense ministry from the dumbass city of marielle, paul, when more ukrainian competence surrendered at the as of south factory on wednesday . and these 959 trips are said to have handed themselves over to russian lead forces that over the past 3 days, a correspondent egleston is on the ground with well, the fight is from the as of style c works, they keep surrendering again, the processes are going on rather slowly, but not because the militia that, and that's people's republic or russia are reluctant to take in these prisoners of war. but rather because there were so many of them, in fact, the commanders of the next people's militia. they have said that they estimated that there were, may be hundreds of neo nazi fighters and ukrainian soldiers hiding in the catacombs
5:09 pm
underneath the as of south steel works. but in fact, the actual number turned out to be around 2500. so more than 2000 now again, people are surrendering neo nazis. us rendering soldiers are surrendering surprisingly, a lot of women among them. but the top brass, the top command of the, as of neo nazi battalion, the ones that were making statements that were appealing to the pope, to the authorities, to the international community publicly. they are still down there in the bunkers and it is unclear as to when they will surrender. and in fact, what they are planning to do next. now those who are injured because there are quite a few of those they are, they receive medical care, they are in a very poor state. many have burns all over their bodies. many have lost limbs, or in general their, their wounds are infected. and in fact, it would have made all the difference if they had received orders to surrender
5:10 pm
earlier because rope white a few even lives may have been saved by the doctors have internet people's republic . so, but again, they did not receive that order. they received orders to stay, put the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian command, and made the decision to keep all those very, very badly injured people without access to proper medicine. again, they keep surrendering and those who are healthy, they aren't being placed in a hotel or anything like that. they're being placed role in the penitentiary for let's ease again, not because they have received any sentence already, but rather this is how the authorities here are sending a message that these people they have been captured, that they have surrendered. and they are. the prism is of war, a wounded soldiers who surrendered from mariel polls as of star plans being sent to a hospital and near by another was all we heard from some of them when you were
5:11 pm
being treated decently. there was no physical or psychological pressure on me. the food is excellent, the doctors check my leg and said everything will be fine. so a patient were being treated very well. i have a shrapnel wound and a torn tendons. they help us treat us and they said that after half a year of rehabilitation, everything will be fine. with the doctors provided me with 1st aid bandages and food. i really can't complain. the u. s. is eating some of its crippling sanctions on venezuela, allowing major american oil company chevron to restart operations in the country off the years of washington. heavily criticizing the government of president, maturer and encouraging descent in the country. washington authorized us in european oil companies to negotiate and resume operations in venezuela. on the surface, it looks like a total turn around
5:12 pm
a zigzag. united states is saying that chevron and american oil companies can start when business some of the sanctions are being lifted. now you'll recall that then as whale is led by the united socialist party, i started by hugo child as than later. now it's nicholas maduro, leads the country, and the usa has been trying to crush venezuela. the u. s. s o's crippling sanctions . they say that are intended to put maximum pressure on the country to remove its elected leaders from a socialist party. there have been qu attempts where the united states has been proven to be involved in trying to overthrow the government trying to have a military coup trying to de stabilize the country. the united states has withdrawn recognition from the venezuelan president nicholas maduro and named juan guido, as somehow being the legitimate leader of venezuela. so all of this is going on and, and we've heard nothing but hostile rhetoric against that as well, from us leaders from the previous 4 administration. here's what we heard from the
5:13 pm
trump administration when it came to the government in caracas, against the repressive regime. targeting manures, inner circle, and close advisors. the regime, a former president, nicholas maduro, is illegitimate. but madura is group and tyranny will be smashed and broken. the day after the mural regime falls, there is a bright future for the venezuelan people and take the following actions to isolate the maduro dictatorship. if you support the madura regime, you too are subject to sanctioned. at this point, we continued to hear this kind of rhetoric coming from antony, blanket and other figures in the biden ministration. they continue to refer to nicholas maduro as a brutal dictator. the usa has not restored diplomatic relation with that as well and government. so that's the situation, but now this new news comes in and it is understood that this is related to the changing us energy policy. you know,
5:14 pm
they want to completely cut off russian oil and already do so. they might have to start getting oil from places they had previously cut off the rearrangement of how us sanctions and us energy policy will operate as they move ahead the target russia . now, despite the fact that this seems like a complete turnaround on unnamed official within the, by the ministration says that the trump era policies of maximum pressure are still in effect. this isn't a policy change. we want to be very clear about this point. sanctions on the missouri regime will remain in place. we're not doing this to reverse trumps maximum pressure campaign. our policy overall has not changed. well, it certainly looked like a shift in policy. however, they maintain the goal is still the same. they are still trying to the stabilize and bring down the bad as well and government with maximum pressure. but on the surface, the fact that now chevron is moving in and now american companies will be able to do business at some sanctions will be lifted. that seems to indicate otherwise,
5:15 pm
so observers are going to have to watch and wait and see what develops out of this . u. k. inflation and consumer prices have had a 40 year reco reaching 9 percent last month, according to the latest data. the cost of essentially, like food and transport, rising to record pace, jeopardizing low and middle income families, many of whom are forced to spend the whole salaries on energy bills and rely on food banks to feed best families. household calls for now up by more than 50 percent, and more increases are not being ruled out by the official regulates em. while right now the u. k. is the highest inflation rate among the strongest european economies, and the g 7 group or to reduce expenses. many have given up painting homes are decided to go out less 44 percent of those surveyed have switch to cheaper food and public transport. and some people even have to skip meals to tackle economic challenges. the government has allocated 22000000000 pounds to help,
5:16 pm
but admitted that it can't fully protect people. and the country that safeguarding minister has proposed people work extra hours or find a better job. make sure that people are able to protect themselves better. whether that is by taking a more hours or meeting to a better paid job, some people they may be able to access additional hours. but of course it's, it's not going to work the people who are already working in 3 jobs. and that's why we need to have the other matches in place, such as the all the help that we're putting into the schools that help with the local authorities from the consultants. for a long time, we've been out of touch with reality. they're probably not really very aware of how poor lives challenges for people to stay sick in the present more more people becoming homeless. i'm going to rise. people are not just facing homelessness, but the ones who can can stay in the us to freeze it when you talk about very poor
5:17 pm
people, i'm not employed how late i went by october, november, already economy. suggestion costs will go up again as can be tough times ahead. but how long can this all hold together? you know, how long before people, it's not the press and people themselves and so should need to start asking really questions. one of those will be, you know, how much money do we really need to spend? what should you spend when we should be spending 1300000000 pounds on military 8. so you can get more which could be spent on creating jobs or use training rushes. foreign ministry has leveled fresh accusations against the usaa saying it has proof that washington conducted a legal development of bio weapons in signed ukraine prior to russia's military operation. that by looking at, i should give the materials received by russia allow us to draw an unambiguous conclusion that inside the by laboratories of ukraine. in the immediate vicinity of
5:18 pm
russia, the development of biological weapons was carried out with the support of private american companies affiliated with the u. s. military department. earlier this week, during an international security meeting, vladimir putin said russia has documentary evidence of buyer weapons labs in ukraine. the kremlin has also a keys, the u. s. of working on those projects with keith. according to the latest claims from russia's foreign ministry, ukrainian specialists were working on enhancing highly lethal pathogens, while also allegedly being shielded with diplomatic immunity, which made them unaccountable. for the pentagon analyst to michael merlin stays the us, has apparently been using ukraine as a proxy for illegal weapons research. united states isn't allowed to do that in the united states. and we, we've seen a, a summer issue arise with just the origins of coven 19 in which are
5:19 pm
the united states as a 3rd. there's proof that and, and mountain evidence rather, that the united states sir, did such an hantz months in china when you're in a conflict area and you have those pathogens around and something is hit, they're going to leak and they're going to get in there. and if there is no remedy for them other than that than that that. busy really affects everybody in that region. so i think that this is very, very serious. it needs to be hot, the, the importance of it needs to be heightened. and that's why i'm suggesting that if that, if russian authorities have that evidence and it's very, very explicit m m, the concrete, they need to take it before the united nations security council. ah, the commissioner of the council of europe for human rights is appealed against the possible extradition of julie nathan's from britain to the us. weekly thunderous,
5:20 pm
currently in u. k. custody while london considered what to do with him next, as he's wanted in the us on espionage charges. it is my view that the indictment by the united states against mr. assigned to raises important questions about the protection of those that publish classified information in the public interest, including information that exposes human rights violations. the broad and vague nature of the allegations against mr. assange and of the offences listed in the indictment are troubling. as many of them concern activities at the core of investigative journalism in europe and beyond. consequently allowing mr. sanchez extradition on this basis would have a chilling effect on media freedom and could ultimately hamper the press and performing its task as a purveyor of information and a public watchdog and democratic societies. last month julianna's song moved a step closer to extradition, following a decision by a london magistrate's court. the routing formerly issued an order at the end of april, 2 extra dr. songs to the us, where he's accused of revealing state secrets. when publishing troves have
5:21 pm
classified us military documents on wiki leeks, despite the exact same cold warning against his extradition in january last year, fighting possible safety risks for songs in the us. the whistleblower has been in bushes custody since 2019 independent journalist taylor heard it safe as long as extradition to the us is a blatant violation of human rights. the prosecution of jolena sanchez is the most consequential press freedom case of our modern era. not only is assigned his life at stake and his health in his well being, but the public's right to know is at stake. and this really seeks to criminalize standard in normal journalistic activity. that journalist, engage in all the time. it will really fundamentally shape how journalists can continue on with their work. and this is also, of course, a retaliation against you. julian assigned in wiki leeks for reporting on very embarrassing activities on behalf of the us government. so this was public interest
5:22 pm
journalism that julian assigned was engaged with, and he really exposed to u. s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. c, i a spying on innocent citizens as well as torture. so this case is very serious and extradited. julian assigned to the united states is a blatant violation of human rights, and we'll put many other journalists at risk in the future. joe biden has been among those accusing russia of spreading dis, information online with the use of boats with a new order in the u. s. has revealed that the president's own followers on social media, on site when he is real, as he might think, as get the details national correspondent in washington, dc, rachel blevins. rachel, good to see. could you tell us more about this audit and his revelations? well, it appears the job. ivan isn't nearly as popular as his numbers claim. he is, at least on twitter, that's according to
5:23 pm
a recent audit which found that out of biden's more than $22000000.00 followers. nearly half of those are actually fake accounts. now this audit was conducted by the software company spark tour, and they use a tool to look at everything from profile pictures to profile history, to profile location. and in doing so, they found that more than 49 percent of the followers on the official post account on twitter are actually fake. now this all comes as billionaire on mosque has announced that he is putting his $44000000000.00 deal to buy twitter on hold. because he says he doesn't quite believe twitters claim. that less than 5 percent of the accounts on their platform are fake. 20 percent fake spam accounts, while 4 times what twitter claims could be much higher by offer was based on twitters s t. c. filings being accurate. twitter ceo publicly refused to show proof
5:24 pm
of less than 5 percent. this deal cannot move forward until he does now bitin has yet to respond specifically to this report. however, in the past, he has talked a lot about bots or more specifically russian bonds. so it does raise the question of how he would feel about these new claims that nearly half of his own followers are those bots. he claims to be so concerned about the the russians don't want me to be the nominee. i spent a lot of money on botch on facebook and i've been taken down st. biden's a bad guy. they don't want bind running so it's bad for biden, and it's also bad for twitter. current owners, as it appears that the percentage of his followers on twitter that are fake is actually higher than his current approval rating from the american people, which stands at just 39 percent. okay, rachel? well, thank you very much for the day. that's our teeth. rachel 11th. thank you. a moscow
5:25 pm
has accused the west of an unprecedented search of russ phobia as an increasing number of russian sports on cultural figures, a band from performing and some western countries, ukrainian american pianists, valentina live, fit size now also facing about in canada. that you own so symphony orchestra has officially cuts her from the program as a critical remark. she made about the conflict in ukraine and dumbass within 2015. it is. it's a has performed for the residents of don't. yes. and on the may not victory day anniversary. she also how the concerts in mario poll. we talked to the pianist earlier about western attitude towards russian artists. i was for beast for 80 years. where have you been? because i will stand him like 8 years ago in paris on untoward, in munster ration save children of the bus. i think it's some kind of for almost sadistic pleasures, the big you know, you in your, you and they say, or we have to cancel rush and guess is them to cancel ration artists and still

5:28 pm
marin or better says if she divides people in groups accordion towards the sea. and i also had the experience. i had let atkinson cancellation letter from what a big european 1st you're also by wire in my so european weeks and after i perform it in body and for people with the spirit in the road to me. unfortunately, because you performed on such a day in mighty opal, it means to you actually support which is aggression may thanks for keeping his company here and archie international always plenty more stories to be found on our website. artie dot com ah the for the business and you agree in the 3 day notice shoes and, you know,
