research had sent us for a government on joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang self. ah, children's over there, the quickly make way. do not see symbols and an o march to the legacy of the nazi germany. we revolt from abundant fortifications of ukrainian forces in a done yet people's republic. also ahead with . ringback from being held to being homeless, ukrainian refugees are facing eviction under coating benefits. as you approach increasingly concerned, the price such help comes up while he gets access to a region in molly told between confrontations with terrorist groups backed by al

qaeda and the solomon islands, find themselves thrust into a tug of war between china and western allies. both sides of life influence over the pacific region. ah moscow to the world. this is austin to national. i'm peter scott. thank you for joining us. it's helping key of advisor has conceded the loss of a major ukrainian stronghold in don boss, the city of layman and don yeske. when you put it in and done, according to unverified data, we have lost the city of lima. she's care of the russian army. it needs to be checked, she has taken it under control that the, 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. lemme located at the north of the done yet region has reportedly been taken over by

russian forces, with your credit troops withdrawing to the southwest of the area. which in forces 1st entered the city on may the 23rd, while just a little further south. another city called spirit la darcy has also been taken by joint russian and d. p. r. forces. however, there was no strong resistance from key of troops reported in the area. like you, maria, for example, the city where one of the largest thermal power plants in europe is located is now under the full control of the nearest forces. we got reaction to the current situation from locals to it's better that you're here, it's already wonderful. for a years constant shelling was allowed for shootings happen near the school. thank you for coming. not only am i grateful, there are more than 90 percent. your son, you people here, i believe for you. and i'm so happy i could cry on it for you to know, of course not. you know, don't event. likewise or for now, what is it seems everything come down. let's hope that it will even come up with

one the front, shifting a little further, further away to hark. when you. meanwhile, our c. e. good has done a visit to the city and explore full positions of care forces. he used to villain apartments to fight from daubing, so with not the 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 rush and 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 a 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's 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 former base camp of their spotters. but if you look further in the distance, and if you may be, squint your eyes, you can see smoke on the horizon is an, this is the smoke from the shelves that were launched by the artillery harvey of the lo ganske people's militia. so right now, this is the front line 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 new, not a unit abandoned has. all of them were retreating down that way beyond the city of smith, la darcy. you can have a look yourself at the fortifications. by the way, over here you can see a crater from one of the bombs or shells fired. and well, this is a good head by the people's militia, by the la ganske people's militia,

and the russian forces over here. there's another fortification, a very safe place for them to hide and 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 as around here, even ventilation. so everything for maximum safety on the wall, patriotic slogans, which very quickly turn into something very different if we just walk out of this place and check out the door and see that the slogans over there, the quickly make way to nazi symbols and an o march to the legacy of the nazi germany, the video has emerged showing refugees being evicted from hotel in spain, amid claims is no longer sustainable to host them. i will thank with

the nissan well, of the european countries of also starts to recognize the hosting. so many refugees doesn't come cheaply arts, east encore, to looks 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 fonts are definitely not sufficient with voice me the most to our electricity bills that i suspect will knock a 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. 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 didn't know what you were being so thinking they weren't really consulted. that's an awful lot of people. and they all have to be paid for. they will have to be looked after. they have to be housed, have to be provided with jobs or with welfare payments. your doesn't have that kind of money m a germany doesn't have that money. that's on top of all the other economic problems or, you know, storing food prices, storing energy prices. so where is this money going to come from the bay for these ukrainians? they'll no doubt the pressure way food will. beside the migrants crisis gripping

europe, countries are also grappling with a challenging economic pitcher, although they've begun well before the war and ukraine is prompted locals in the french. if you have little to send a petition to the may on the french president demanding a quote 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. so i think that the war in ukraine is rather one for all. what did it cost? i think that today it costs the same for mac crohn. as during coven, that's what our country is like. now. should be done differently in lithia here, 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 as the french you pay, it's a bad excuse, was killing hell expensive. my charges have increased by about a 100 euros a month, including water of gas and electricity. that makes my budget more substantial ketone. the charges for gas electricity,

water. everything has gone up between 30 and 43. same up. the impact is that i will now have to work more to pay for it or cut back completely. so i don't say much. i was like in the price of energy in essential goods is so high that some regions of even started to issue food stamps for poor households. political and social commentator nicolo markovich believes france was not prepared for this crisis. now some are choosing ford in ukraine, and it is the fact that the invitation for example, read was more and more complicated. so francis morrison moralist 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 growing up again. and french have to face expensive prices, energy costs, of course, and food if you take oil and fat servers and 50 percent recently. flower 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 major problems of france the u. s. is reported to be planning gets another weapons aid package for ukraine night comes after. this week's deadly, texas school shooting which spot heated debates over arms control. the masika claimed the lives of 19 children. i was committed by 18 year old salvador ramos. the tragedy has once again exposed deep divisions in the country of guns,

but while president biden insists on the need for restrictions, some americans now questioning the policy of freely arming one country, while soaking up weapons controls as hope. as a nation, we have dash win in god name. we're going to stand up to the gun lobby. when in god's name we do, we all know good needs to be done and don't tell me. we can't have an impact on this current. each. weird how all 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 of arms control at home comes as washington cindy, $14000000000.00 in a to ukraine with off, vague, go into the military,

including advanced weaponry. they'll ro, support package is 6 times larger than ukraine's on your defense budget. and that's as the biden administration emits, it cannot fully account for where the arms and up when in the 1st weeks of russia's offensive care was freely distributing farms among civilians. while ukrainian defense ministry says the country's authorities are to adopt a law that would officially legalize firearm trafficking forth civilians and the president of the america 1st foundation. nicholas for when says highlights the different approach to weapons control when it comes to the homeland on 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. why? when we see a man shooting at home and they want to restrict the guns, the real cause where you get these mass shooters, it's not from guns. 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 you create has been used as a puppet, stayed for the cia and for the american regime for decades. and now just like syria, just like a rat just like ghana. stan, this is another one of the 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 suggestively, it's almost

a certainty. meanwhile, ukraine is calling for yet more money and weapons. they know that the support is received so far is not enough. ortiz, a correspondent, rachel blevins, reports for us has spent the last few miles signing off on one historic aid package for crane after another, with many of the allies doing the same to show their support. but you crania, 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 was even just, it still takes time to discourage them from this ship. but we still need the help of partner, especially weapons for your brain. total health, no exception, no restrictions but enough to when those are haven't just been made and recorded addresses, but also in public speech is given by ukrainian officials to world leaders, including this week at the world economic forum, davos summit was not with him as we are on the european continent and we need the support of the united europe. and while those european leaders have also spoken out

of this, i met 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 western pledge around 68000000 dollars in age ukraine, according to some estimates that's on top of the support. the west has been providing for ukraine's in the u. s. 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 impose 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 in the contacts the a is then to all of the developing countries in the world in 2021 was 179000000000 dollars. so who was profiting from all of the funds that you crane?

now in comparison, the u. s. and e you can buying have been less than $5500000000.00 on a, for yemen in the last 7 years. despite the fact that the in the country poem is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, which weapons industries in the west have profited 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 than if it will ever be considered. and now in washington, rachel robins, part of economics on politics and st. mary's college of california, dr. jack rasmus, believe this in america's own interest to prolong the conflict by providing ukraine with more aid. we've already dispersed about 54000000000, and he lensky has said he need 7000000000 a month more. so for the rest of the year it's good for us. well, over

a 100000000000, the budget for next year starting october has allocated 85000000000 more for the pentagon, prolong the conflict, no doubt. and right now i think u. s. policy is what i called brzezinski 2 point. oh, they want to keep the fight, go in. their objective is to debilitate the russia militarily and economically. if they can, they don't want a resolution right away. it's in their interest to keep it going financially, economically and geopolitically. and over to molly, now where the army claims is neutralized around 15, suspected terrorists and taken prisoners in the bungee gara and to book 2 regions. molly has seen 3 military crews since 2012. the latest was just a year ago. and the political upheaval came about as a result of the arab spring, which dropped the country into enlisted civil war. as a moderate muslim nation fights again, so called the hottest supporters of a radical branch of religion, bytes by local al qaeda terrorists. ortiz,

antoine clara reports from the ground, not to them who we are driving from mca to tim buck to on a particularly dangerous stretch of road. sometimes terrorist attack civilian bus is head over. now with the malia army is escorting us to our destination due to security concerns, we are safe with phone from the series dangerous. sometimes they've been shooting moving cars a month ago, a taxi driver was killed or do a letter of it. us sick, in addition to the security threat posed by that you had us, there is also the religious hospitals for serial law, which they are trying to impose wherever they are. but with 14, now people suffer when they're asked and where the bail. it is hard for them. they're not used to doing and practice is ones, but then moderate islam on this morning coffee, it is not so much about religious beliefs. is a seller of easy money combined with a lack of education and prospects element that allows you how this to recruit, to population, meet up with prudential. that's enough of a local to bear our campus. you have never been to school. what job can you have

a difficult situation, so when you have nothing to leave on while holler and $50.00 for you, something where manny have been deceived in this way in poverty, the situation in which they leave induced them to agree to this adventure. ah ah, so judy, we had to gender a molly and city state in history and the constant threat from jadis. the road here is especially dangerous because terrorists regularly line it with marty as a result, the only reliable way to get that is by helicopter. thank you. could be ginny, 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 general, which has a zone that opposes these so called jihadist movements. in reality, they are warmed terrorists to terrorize the population in one japanese level. the

gen a mosque is one of the symbols that a country listed as a unesco world. heritage light will generally knew how to scramble various groups present in the region and associated with the local branch of al qaeda seek to take possession of this symbol. it's about sex, his companion, lazoodo. he's 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, you had a sa hiding among the population of you zealand has declared, he will extend his military deployments in the south pacific, solomon islands, until at least may next year. as amid concerns among western lies 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 for community engagement is yelton's decision comes as a chinese foreign minister travels to the solomon islands,

as part of it for nations, us to discuss funds for beijing's draft agreement with 10 pacific states. the backdrop to that being shown is designed to expand is cooperation with countries in the region. the 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, as well as greater political and military cooperation between the world's most populous nation on those pacific states, former associate minister of foreign affairs of new zealand math robson, believes to deal with beijing could prove beneficial to 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. it's 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 the many of the states, the pacific them this number of very small island states would look favorably on the agreement with china, which was fun that was truly entered into and had benefits for them perhaps economically and even full their security needs. the problem is that the pacific and the to the asian region, 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 encroachment on their sovereignty and returned to the battle days of the colonial m. 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 chinese proposal, australia has sent its foreign ministers to the island of fiji. nothing in attempt to improve ties between the 2 countries and certainly in prime minister claims mornings 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 importance in the region as well. where strategy has been the security partner of choice since the 2nd world war as a drop the ball. we can afford to do that. we need to re engage 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 c said as the 1st of many, which is a context of the foreign ministers base to the region. a straight in the propaganda is even more hysterical. how day of the solomon islands take an independent decision. it's almost unbelievable, but we are acting in this way and it's one of the, hopefully the museum and people and the history. i didn't, they actually one piece in the region will see you through and demand of 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 bases 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 were waking up to the fact that new zealand and australia are being used in a ruinous game to recreate the coal in the interest of the united states. and probably the most faithful, loyal servant, the united kingdom. that's all for now. feel free to go to r t dot com for more stories in analysis. my name is peter scott. and thank you for watching lou with fidelity talking with a

with a mortgage that also produces julia. does she somebody over there, both those with a, with the and i do so as you know that way if you don't mind

oh, when i want something wrong, when i just don't know, i have to fill out this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves, well the more we choose to look for common ground with .
