ah, ah ah, deliver them quickly make way. do not see cymbals and an o march to the legacy of the nazi germany, not symbols alongside patriotic sentiments. we report from abundant positions of ukrainian forces in the done yet people's republic. one of which was located in a civilian flat until you really woke up with, from being helps to being homeless, ukrainian, refugees off facing eviction from hotels in spain. because europe puts profits

before people in need. a t gets access to a regional molly torn between confrontations with terrorist groups, backed by al qaeda, found the solomon islands find themselves thrust into a tug of war between china and western allies. both sides, bye for influence over the pacific region. with july, from our headquarters here in moscow, welcome to the international. i'm peter scott. and here the top stories this friday morning, a top and key of advisor has conceded to the loss of a major ukrainian stronghold in don boss, the city of lehman and danielle, when you put it in. and then, according to unverified data, we have lost the city of lima. this is the russian army. it needs to be checked, has taken it under control, that at the same time, the way it was taken shows that there were very talented commanders there who

organized the operation correctly. and this shows, in principle, the increased operational management and tactical skill of the russian army layman locates it at the north of that. and yes, people's republic has reportedly been taken over by russian forces with ukrainian troops withdrawing to the south west of the area where some forces 1st entered the city on may the 23rd, while just a little further south and of the city called fiddler doris has also been taken by joint russian on dpi forces. however, there was no strong resistance from key of troops reported in the area on like multiple for example, the city where one of the largest thermal power plants in europe is located is now under the full control of done yet forces. we got reaction to the current situation from some locals. richard to it's better that you're here. it's already wonderful for 8 years constant shelling was allowed. shootings happened near the school. thank you for coming. not only i am grateful. there are more than 90 percent of such people here. i am so happy i could cry honestly, will you leave us?

no, of course not. no, no, don't abandon us. it's quieter for now. it seems everything calm down the let's hope that it will be even calmer. when the front shifts a little further further away to carcass when. meanwhile ortiz egan has done a visit to the city in explore former positions of care forces, who use civilian apartments to fight from daubing so with nazi symbols. this place is where ukraine's artillery spouses were stationed. traditionally, they've set up their base, set up their camp on the top floor of an apartment building. this is a flat and this building is home to dozens of families who have been living and are still here. right now, so they have a small kitchen over there. the other it is then the ukrainian flags and something resembling letters from home that used to be on the

wool. this is what you have here. and if we move down this corridor we get in there . well, layer, this is where they've slept, a makeshift well bunk bed. and here on this little balcony of ukrainian spotters used to oversee the russian and the pupils, people's militia positions here. they, they, they have a good degree of comfort here. this is where their equipment was, as they were watching the well, our positions watching russian positions and well making corrections to their own artillery fire. and here's another interesting find in the room over here on the wall. it's their notes apart from the wifi password. there's also a code what each color of the signal rocket means, like, for example, it's as green means the offensive red means retreat. and here is the list of their enemies. you know, people is militia, they know their code names,

and they know which weapon every unit normal uses. like for example, here it says don bass, someone's code name, a 120 millimeter mortar. and so now i'm going to show you where the ukranian forces retreated to. this is yet another forma base camp of the sponsors. but if you look further in the distance, and if you maybe squint your eyes, you can see smell on the horizon. this is the smoke from the shells launched by the artillery harvey of these little guns people's militia. so right now, this is the frontline and this is where their artillery positions are right now and they are responding with fire as well. this is one of the positions that a ukrainian knew, not a unit abandoned, as all of them were retreating down that way. beyond the city of smith, la darcy, you can have a look yourself at the 40 vacations. by the way,

over here you can see a crater from one of the bombs or shells fired. and well, this is a good hit by the people's militia, by the guns people's militia and the russian forces over here. there's another fortification, a very safe place for them to hide a look at the amounts of well, wood and dirt, protecting them from any impact. this is where this particular unit slept. notice how much concrete does around here, even ventilation. so everything for maximum safety on the wool, patriotic slogans which very quickly turned into something very different from just walk out of this place and check out the door and see that the slogans over there. they quickly make way to nazi symbols and an o march to the legacy of the nazi germany. while the 6000000

ukrainians have fled the country since the start of the war chords causing a major migrant crisis in europe. but also refugees are reportedly finding themselves being evicted from hotels in spain, and the claims is no longer sustainable to host them. oh, thank you. colleen, within with her classes and i am one of the european countries. i've also started to recognize that hosting refugees doesn't come so cheaply. aussies don't coal to look at the changing attitude on the continent. 6.6000000 ukrainians have fled their country and become refugees. as a result of the conflict, that's about 5 times more people than the last migrant crisis in europe and of hosting these people was expensive back then it's off the charts. now, the costs of providing for these refugees will stream countries, budgets, and not just in the short term integrating refugees into their economies will

require large scale resources, time and supportive policies. in 2016 germany spent approximately $12000.00 euros per refugee per year. not including any language and cultural integration classes, support for ukrainian refugees could cost hosting states as much as $30000000000.00 over the next year. as if the you wasn't already dealing with supply chain issues in energy crisis record breaking inflation that into this already long list of economic woes is everything connected to hosting a sudden influx of millions of people. poland, been by far, the hardest hit since it's accepted over 3000000 refugees. that kind of budgetary strain is making itself felt across small polish border towns. everything else we have so far paid from our modest crisis fund that is or rather was $22000.00. these funds are definitely not sufficient with voice me the most to our electricity bills that i suspect will naca silver. our town can definitely not meet this costs. the

sums i mentioned are drop in the ocean. even warsaw is barely keeping up with its population surge of nearly 20 per cent since late february, it's mayor is already talking about relocations and we need assistance. we need a relocation scheme because we need to share the burden the ukrainians are fighting for our freedom and we need to do our bid. number of polish cities are trying to economize at least by ending free public transport rides for ukrainians. as one might imagine, that hasn't gone down well with refugees with with it's not just poland making cut sto, bulgaria is having to cut refugee subsidies and relocate people ukrainians in the czech republic will soon have to find work or lose their government benefits in lot via the authorities have stopped providing refugees with free food, and the netherlands is even having to force local councils to accept refugees since

many are not willing. this is not one i wanted, but this is how it is. in the coming weeks, we are going to say to a number of local councils, you have a suitable building. the permits are in order. it is owned by the refugee settlement agency or the state. and so we are going to use it despite freeing up billions to try and tackle this newest refugee crisis. even brussels has admitted there's not enough money to go around. the 7 year budget that started in 2021 was made for peace. nobody envisaged, as we were negotiating that budget, that there would be a war in europe. i think it is fair to say that the budget that we have now wasn't really made for the situation in which we find ourselves. considering experts are saying a global recession and a food crisis are also on the horizon. it looks like europe may be in for a tough couple of years. i don't what europeans are thinking. they weren't really consulted that that's an awful lot of people. and they all have to be paid for.

they will have to be in the doctor. they have to the house, they have to be provided with jobs or with welfare payments. he doesn't have that kind of money. i mean, germany doesn't have that money. that's on top of all the other economic problems or, you know, so a food prices soaring energy prices. so where's this money going to come from to pay for all these ukrainians? and then they'll no doubt the pressure y suit will. beside the migrant crisis, gripping europe. countries are also grappling with a challenging economic picture, a lot begun well before the war in ukraine. that's prompted locals in the french city of leal to send a position to the mayor unto the french president, demanding a coach to soaring utility bills for social housing. so yellow, the charges have really increased in the last few years, whether it's water or electricity before the war in ukraine. i think that the war in ukraine is rather one for all. what did it cost? i think that to day it costs the same for mac crohn as during cove. it,

that's what our country is like now, just leave it on that for me. i think that the charges have increased because the state takes advantage of problems in ukraine to increase the charges. because for me, ukraine as an excuse for me, makram found this excuse and it's asked the french who pay. it's a bad excuse. well, can i get insensitive? my charges have increased by about a 100 heroes a month, including water, gas, and electricity. that makes my budget more substantial. the charges for gas electricity, water, everything has gone up between 30 and 40 per cent. of the impact is that i will now have to work more to pay for it or cut back completely. so i don't pay much spike in the price of energy and essential goods is so high that some regions have even started issuing food stumps to poor households. to throw in social commentator nicolo markovich believes that fronts was not prepared for this crisis. now, some are choosing the order in ukraine, and it is a fact that the importation, for example, to read is more and more complicated. so francis morrison morales painted himself

in a corner a concerning, for example, the food and france used to be one of your major agricultural countries. and it's now only, it's so sufficient up to 60 percent. and it's getting quite complicated because inflation is soaring. unemployment for the 1st time in over year is, is, is grazing up again. and the french have to face expensive prices, energy costs, of course, and food. if you take oil and fats have risen, 50 percent recently will flour, 30 percent pastor, 20 percent. so these are important meals for a lot of french people. and france is really having hard time coping with this. so some cities and even the french government is moving the idea of distributing food vouchers to the poorest people who just can't make ends meet and have a hard time feeding themselves. france is not prepared, france did not see these crisis coming trans thought that agriculture would be managed by the 3rd world countries or other countries which would produce

a cheaper that france could become focused on the on services. and this is, i think, one of the big, big a major problems of france over the years now, which is supposed to be planning yet another weapons aid package for ukraine. it comes up to this week's dead late texas school shooting which spots heated debates of arms control. the muscular claimed the lives of 19 children and was committed by 18 year old salvador ramos. the tragedy has once again exposed deep divisions in the country over guns boats, while president biden insists on the need for restrictions. some americans are now questioning the policy of freely arming one country while talking up weapons controls at home. as a nation, we have dash, when in god's name we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in gods name we do, we all know i've got needs to be done and don't tell me. we can't have an impact on this carnage. what are we doing? what are we doing?

our kids are living in fear every single time they set foot in the classroom because they think they're going to be next. what are we doing? weird how all of the ukraine flag people are calling for gun control when they just cried that america needs to send more arms to ukraine. too bad. they don't want to spend $40000000000.00 on school security or the mental health crisis in america. y'all raise hell about how we need to send $40000000000.00 to the ukraine for them to buy guns to protect themselves. but you think gun free zones are the answer in america. make it makes sense. the debates over arms control at home comes as washington sending $40000000000.00 in a ukraine with half of a go into the military, including advanced weaponry. no roll support package is 6 times larger ukraine's annual defense budget. and that's as the by an administration, a mid,

you cannot fully account for where they will end up. in the 1st weeks of rushes, offensive care was freely distributed firearms amongst civilians. while the guardian defense minister says the countries all authorities ought to adopt the law that would officially legalize firearm trafficking for civilians. the president of the america 1st foundation nicholas j. f when says highlights, a different approach to weapons control when it comes to homeland and foreign security. well, the box is pretty incredible, isn't it? after the buffalo shooting last week, the united states is one of the number one art at quarters in the world arming al qaeda, isis, neo nazis in ukraine. but when we see a mass shooting at home and they want to restrict the guns real cause where you get these mass shooters, not from guns. if it's a deflection from 70 years of failed liberal policy in the united states, the united states regime, which would be the u. s. government, as well as the intelligence agencies. the national security apparatus is a war with its own people. we know that ukraine has been used as a puppet,

stayed for the cia and for the american region for decades. and now just like syria, just like a rack just like ghana, stan, this is another one of these bail projects by the us national security apparatus where we've introduced lots of money, lots of guns, lots of corruption, and who knows what the effect that that will have on the european continent over the next several generations is generating a massive refugee crisis of ukrainians pouring across the borders, not just into russia, but into western europe. and with all of these on traceable american arms, where there's no accountability, no transparency about who theirs are going to and where they're going to end up. so i wouldn't be surprised if you're going to see american weapons used in european terrorism within this decade. in fact, i think that statistically, it's almost a certainty. ukraine's calling for more money and weapons, claiming all the support is received so far is not enough. all these correspondent rachel blevins reports the us has been the last few miles signing off on one

historic a package, b crane after another with many of its allies doing the same to show their support . but he's training and officials are saying that all of that money and all of those weapons just aren't enough and they're calling for the west to do even more. she will, they've been just, it still takes time to discourage them from this ship, but we still need the help of partners, especially weapons for ukraine. total help, no exceptions, no restrictions but enough to win. those require haven't just been made and recorded addresses, but also in public speeches given by ukrainian officials to world leaders, including this week at the world economic forum, davos summit was not what we are on the european continent, and we need the support of the united europe and while those european leaders have also spoken out at the summit and insisted that they are showing their support, ukraine continues to ask for more. civilized countries must be united with ukraine,

not with their words, but with their deeds. so when will it be enough in just 5 months? the west is fledge around 68000000 dollars in age ukraine, according to some estimate that's on top of the support. the west has been providing for ukraine's in the us supported qu, back in 2014. while ukraine does have anti corruption officials, they admit they have been forced to stop reporting on the countries practices after the government and pose martial law earlier this year. i'm not saying there is no corruption in this uncertain situation. i'm sure there are people who want to profit from government procurement processes. so where is all of the money to put it into contacts the a is sent to all of the developing countries in the world in 2021 was $179000000000.00. so who was profiting from all of the funds since you crane? now in comparison, the u. s. and the you can buying have been less than $5500000000.00 on a, for yemen in the last 7 years. despite the fact that the,

like in the country ppo is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, which weapons industries in the last profit heavily from many countries around the world have been quick to call out the double standards. the west is now applying to ukraine as it remains to be seen just how much more they will give and if it will ever be considered enough in washington. rachel watkins are c professor of economics and politics, the st. mary's college of california doctor jack rasmus, believe this in america's own interest to belong to conflict by providing ukraine with more aid. we've already dispersed about $54000000000.00, and he lensky is that he need $7000000.00 a month more show for the rest of the year. it's going to produce well over 100000000. the u. s. budget for next year. starting october has allocated 85000000000 more for the pentagon will prolong the conflict, no doubt. and right now i think the u. s. policy is what i called brzezinski to

point 0, or they want to keep the fight go in their object to this, to debilitate russia militarily and economically. if they can, you know, they don't want to resolution right away. it's in their interest to keep it going financially, economically, and geopolitically over to molly. now where the army claims is neutralized around 15, suspected terrorists and taken prisoners in the bundy, a gara and tumbled 2 regions. i'm only has seen 3 military crews since 2012. the latest was just one year ago, the fiscal upheaval came about as a result of the arab spring, which dropped the country into endless civil war. as a moderate muslim nation fights against so called to ha dish that you how to supporters of a radical branch of the religion, but by local al qaeda terrorists, ortiz, antoine clara reports from the ground, would love to them. i could, we are driving from the mca to tim book to on

a particularly dangerous stretch of road, sometimes terrorist attack civilian bust, his head over with the malia army is escorting us to our destination due to security concerns. we are safe with them. all of this area is dangerous. sometimes they've been shooting moving cars a month ago, a texas driver was killed or do a lot of it. us sick in addition to the security threat posed by that you had us. there is also the religious aspects, the serial law, which they are trying to impose wherever they are 40. now people suffer when they're asked to wear a veil. it is hard for them. they're not used to doing it and would practice islam . but moderate islam on the ship, him one equal it is not so much about religious beliefs as the la of easy money combined with a lack of education and prospects that allows you had to recruit the population need up to barracka was you have never been to school, what job can you have in difficult situations when you have nothing to leave on while holler and $50.00 for you?

something where manny have been deceived in this way and poverty, the situation in which they leave induced them to agree to this adventure. hey dixon, judy, we had to jenny amal in city states in history, and on the constant threat from geo hadis. the road here is especially dangerous because terrorists regularly line it with mines. as a result, the only reliable way to get that is by helicopter. the beginning, they want to cut off janet from the rest of the re supplying villages and demand that the residents go to areas where the jihadists have more support than in jenny, which has a zone that opposes these so called jihadist movements. in reality, they are armed terrorists to terrorize the population in jenny's level. the gen a mosque is one of the symbols of the country listed as a unesco world heritage site will generate you how this from various groups present

in the region and associated with the local branch of al qaeda seek to take possession of this symbol is a critical component, musically, the molly military is escorting us and gives us a few minutes to approach the mosque and even enter it. we were told that we should not stay too long in one place, so as not to attract attention, according to them to how to sa, hiding among the population of students. you formerly give a prison in addition to the symbolic meaning that the capture of jenny has for terrorists. such an event will lead to great difficulties and communication between north and south. that is why the malia military's closely monitoring the strategically important point. new zealand has declared it will extend its military deployments in the south pacific, solomon islands, until at least may next year. now comes amid concerns among western allies about china's growing presence in the region. the pacific as a priority area for defense, which is why it is important that new zealand defense force personnel continue to

operate and support the royal solomon islands, police force to maintain peace and stability through community engagement. a decision by new zealand comes as the chinese foreign minister travels to the solomon islands as part of its 4 of nations. that's to discuss plans for beijing's draft agreement with 10 pacific states. the by job to that been chinese desired to expand is cooperation with countries in the region. wide ranging draft agreement includes a package of millions of dollars of money to aid from beijing access to china's lucrative markets of nearly $1.00 and a half 1000000000 people in a free trade agreement and greater political and military corporation between the world's most populous nation. and those pacific states, former associate minister of foreign affairs of new zealand much robson leaves the deal with beijing, could prove beneficial for the region by joining in this play book of the united states threatening the solomon. so they cannot take a sovereign decision. we're playing

a role of an imperialist countries and the military role is growing as we're now a cooperating member of the nuclear nato in, in violation of the, of the policies that have been taken to make us nuclear weapons free and friendly to all countries in the world, that's what's causing the instability. i believe that many of the states, the pacific them this number, very small island states would look favorably on the agreement with china, which was fun that was freely entered into and had benefits for them. perhaps economically. and even for their security needs, the problem is that the pacific and the to the asian reason, of course was colonized was in part of the imperialist empires. and enormous pressure is going on these states from the united states in particular,

which is an encouragement on their sovereignty and a return to the bad old days of the colonial empire. so it's not a very promising situation for peace and stability in our region. the instability is being caused not by china, but by the hostility to china. in response to china's proposal, australia and it's foreign minister to the island of fiji, attempt to improve ties between the 2 countries. industrially and prime minister claims more needs to be done in response to what he says is beijing's attempt to encroach on the pacific zone. we need to, to respond to this because this is china seeking to increase its influence in the region as well. where strongly it has been the security partner of choice. since the 2nd world war as strike dropped the ball. we can afford to do that. we need to rein guides with the region they sovereign nations. of course,

we need to respect that, but we need to be offering more support. and otherwise we can say the consequences with the deal that was done with the solomons. we know that china said as the 1st of many, which is the context of the foreign ministers base to the region. a straight into the propaganda is even more hysterical held day of the solomon islands. take an independent decision. it's almost unbelievable, but we are acting in this way and it's one that hopefully the new zealand people and the straight. and they actually one case and the region will see you through and demand the government. stop this imperialist behavior. and government has the challenge to say, are we going to continue to be tied to a dangerous l i? we should ask them to take their basis. military base is out of australia. and we

should have respectful and normal relations with china, with russia, with other countries and preserve our independence. many, many other people now who are waking up to the fact that you zealand and australia a being used in a ruinous game to recreate the cold war in the interest of the united states. and probably the most faithful, loyal servant, the united kingdom. that's all the news is looking at $729.00. i am moscow, it's i'm, i'm pizza scott's on the back again with another look at today's biggest stories in about half an hour, but do feel free said it was our website r t dot com. in the meantime, a

ah, the version of this report to stay up inpatient. yahoo regarding cynthia a more to pull you up with that you for that ah.
