an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the slogans over there, they quickly make way. do not see cymbals and an o march to the legacy of the nazi germany. we report from abundant fortifications of ukrainian forces in a done yet people's republic also had a room welcome with from being held to being homeless. ukrainian refugees are facing eviction under coating benefits because europe, prose increasingly concerned at the price such help comes out to get access to a region. in molly told between confrontations with terrorist groups,

backed by al qaeda on to the solomon islands. find yourself thrust into a tug of war between china and western allies, both sides of life influence over the pacific region. with most of the world, this is austin international. i'm peter scott. thank you for joining us. that's helping key of advisor has conceded to the loss of a major ukrainian stronghold in don boss, the city of the month in danielle. when you put it in and done, according to unverified data, we have lost the city of lima. she's care the russian army. it needs to be checked, he has taken it under control over at the same time, or 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. lamar now located at the north of the done yet region,

has reportedly been taken over by russian forces, with ukrainian troops withdrawing to the southwest of the area where she forces 1st entered the city on may the 23rd, while just a little further south. another city called spirit la dusk 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. and like you multiple, for example, the city where one of the largest thermal power plants in europe is located is now under the full control of the nist forces. we got reaction to the current situation from some locals ship 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 or some people here. i believe for you. i'm so happy i could cry honestly for him. no, of course, no, no, no, don't event. well that's quite for now. what is it that seems everything come down . let's hope that it won't even come up like one of the front shifts

a little further, further away to hark. when you. meanwhile, ortiz egotist donna visited the city next for former positions of care of forces. he used civilian apartments to fight from daubing some with nasty symbols. this place is where ukraine's artillery spouses was 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 there's 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 peoples 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 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't 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 maybe squint your eyes, you can see smoke on the horizon is an, this is the smoke from the shelves that launched by the artillery harvey of the lo ganske 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 new, not a unit abandoned has. all of them were retreating down that way beyond the city of smet le dusk, 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 august people's militia, and the russian forces over here, there's another fortification,

a very safe place for them to hide in. look at the amounts of 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 think with. ringback

the nissan well, of the european countries of also starts to recognize the hosting. so many refugees doesn't come cheaply or teased on call 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 the posting. these people was expensive back then it's off the charts. now, the costs of providing for these refugees will strain 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 spend 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 you wasn't already dealing with supply chain issues in energy crisis. record breaking inflation that to 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. what worries me the most, our electricity bills that i suspect will knock us over our town can definitely not meet this costs. the sums i mentioned are a 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 don't know 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 looked after. they have to be house, they have to be provided with jobs or with welfare payments. you know, it doesn't have that kind of money in germany. it doesn't have that money that's on top of all the other economic problems or, you know, so a full price is storing energy price. so where is this money going to come from to pay for the ukrainians? and then they'll no doubt the pressure white suit beside the migrants crisis

gripping europe, countries are also grappling with a challenging economic picture. although begun well before the war in ukraine is prompted. locals in the french city of lill to send a petition to the mayor on the french president, demanding a coat 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 i think. 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 turned in for me and losing a share 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 you extensive. my charges have increased by about a 100 heroes a month, including water, gas, and electricity. that makes my budget more substantial ketone. the charges for gas electricity, water,

everything has gone up between 30 and 40 percent. came up. the impact is that i will now have to work more to pay for it or cut back completely. so i don't a match. i was like in the price of energy in essential goods is so high this some regions of even started to issue food stamps for poor households. political and social compensates and nicolo markovich believes france was not prepared for this crisis. now some are choosing born in ukraine and it is the fact that the imposition, for example, read was more and more complicated. so francis morris more less painted himself in a corner, a concerning, for example, the food and france used to be one of your major agricultural countries. and is 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 fats have risen, 50 percent recently flour,

30 percent past the 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 the us is reported to be planning yet another weapons aid package for ukraine. now comes after this week's deadly, texas school shooting, which bought 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 a guns. but while president biden insists on the need for restrictions,

some americans now question in the policy of freely arming one country while talking up weapons controls at home. as a nation, we have dash, when in garage neighbor 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 his carnage. 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. the 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, sunday, $14000000000.00 in a to ukraine with off vague,

going to the military, including advanced weaponry. they'll rosa full package is 6 times larger than ukraine's annual defense budget. and that's as the biden administration emits, it cannot fully account for why the arms and up when the 1st weeks of rushes, offensive care was freely distributing firearms among civilians. while the ukrainian defense ministry says the countries authorities as 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, arms at quarters in the world, arming alti, isis, neo, nazis in ukraine. but when we see a mass shooting at home and they want to restrict the guns, the 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 the war with its own people. we know that ukraine has been used as a puppet, stayed for the cia and for the american regime for decades. and now just like here . yeah, just like a rack, just like dana, stan, this is another one of the bail projects by the us national security apparatus where we've introduced lots of money, lots of 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 is no accountability, no transparency about who they 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's the just simply, 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 correspondent rachel blevins reports the us has spent the last few months signing off on one historic, a package for crane after another, with many of the 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 deepen chess. 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, except 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 listening. 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 west is 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 recording 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 then to all of the developing countries in the world in 2021 was 179000000000 dollars. so who was profiting from all of the funds sent you crane?

now in comparison, the u. s. and the you can buying have been less than $5500000000.00 on aid for yemen in the last 7 years. despite the fact that the, like in the country public is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. which weapons industries in the last profit id heavily for 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 there will ever be considered a not in washington, rachel watkins, r c. festa of economics on politics at st. mary's college of california got to write jack rasmus, believe this in america's own interest to prolong the conflict by providing ukraine with more 8. we've already dispersed about $54000000000.00, and he lensky is that he need $7000000000.00 a month more. so for the rest of the year, it's good for us. well, over a 100000000000 us budget for next year,

starting october has allocated 85000000000 more for the pentagon, prolong the conflict, no doubt. and right now i think the u. s. policy is what i called brzezinski to point 0. they want to keep the fight go in. their objective is to debilitate russia militarily and economically. if they can, they don't want to resolution right away. it's in their interest to keep it going financially, economically and politically. and over to molly, now where the army claims is neutralized, around 15, suspected terrorist and taken prisoners in the bungee gara and to book to regions. molly, have seen that 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 enlists civil war. as a moderate muslim nation fights again, so called to how to supporters of a radical branch of religion, bytes by local al qaeda terrorists. ortiz,

antoine clara reports from the ground, would love to buy my cool. we are driving from mca to tim buck to on a particularly dangerous stretch of road, sometimes terrorists attack civilian bust. his head over no with the malia army is escorting us to our destination due to security concerns. we are safe with them. little fall from this area is dangerous. sometimes they've been shooting moving cars. a month ago, a taxi 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 hospitals from syria law, which they are trying to impose wherever they are. but with 14, now people suffer where they're asked it where a bail it is hard for them. they're not used to doing and practice is one, but not moderate islam on the she similarly called it is not so much about religious beliefs as the la of easy money combined with the lack of education and prospect selma that allows you how this to recruit, to population meet up with prudential that's enough of the local to veronica plus.

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 very many have been deceived. in this way, in poverty, the situation in which they leave induced them to agree to this adventurer. ah, ah, dixie, jenny, we had to gender molly and city steeped in history and the constant threat from johanna. the road here is especially dangerous because terrorists regularly line it with much is it as a result the only reliable way to get that is by helicopter. thank you. will be genie. they want to cut off gen. ed 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 law, which has a zone that opposes the so called jihad is to move more seen in reality, they are warmed terrors. to terrorize the population are continuing jody's,

at our level, the gen a mosque is one of the symbols of the country. they list it as a unesco world. heritage site will gender into how to scribble various groups present in the region and associated with the local branch of al qaeda at seats. take possession of this symbol companion musical. 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, how to say hiding among the population of zealand has declared they will extend its military deployment 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 dylan's decision comes to the chinese. the foreign minister travels to the solomon islands

as part of it for nations, as to discuss funds for beijing's draft agreement with 10 pacific states. the backdrop to that to be in china's desire 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 the deal with beijing could prove beneficial to the region by joining in this play 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, very small island states would look favorably on the agreement with china, which was fun that was really 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 a return 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, up in an attempt to improve ties between the 2 countries. and yesterday, and 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 influence in the region of the will where strategy 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. and 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 the context of the foreign minister is based to the region. a straight into 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 new zealand people and the trade in people who actually one piece in the region will see through and demand that the government stop this imperialist behavior. australian 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 the 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 affect the new 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 for now. feel free to of the r t dot com for more stories in analysis. monies peter scott and thank you for watching. ah, with ah.

l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too late truck rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs

with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect your own existence with who ah for let's say that we stood up almost a.
