[000:00:00;00] a a likely and lawyer british and lot. not only is it loaded, but it is also locked. so one careless step, one careless push, and this thing will open fire arc here explores the as, oh, stall, industrial area, and mario poll, which was the epicenter of fighting and recent weeks between russian forces and hold up ukrainian nationalist troops has de mining efforts are now under way, economic turbulence and thousands of loss jobs predicted as that new aims it for a potential 6th round of sanctions against moscow. a shortage of rushing

fertilizers in mexico takes its toll on local farmers who have raised alarms about an impending disaster. as they lose more and more crops, it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people in the whole country without agriculture? with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our team international orange on thomas that have you with us as we recap the week's top stories with our weekly program. now, moscow has said it uncovered an elaborate planned by ukrainian nationals forces to shell russian territory from the north eastern ukrainian city of sumi, near the border to provoke a response from russia. and then that made the chemical reserves to accuse moscow of committing a chemical attack that from the russian side of things. now elsewhere in the war torn port, city of mario pal, civilian life has been gradually returning,

falling. 2 months of in fighting russian forces have been de mining in the harbor, enabling the 1st commercial vessel to enter the waters since the war started. about 13000 and exposes, have reportedly been uncovered in the area. now the mining operations have also been underway at the cities as of stall industrial plant, which was the epicenter of fighting between russian and ukrainian forces. in recent weeks. more than 2000 ukrainian troops surrendered there recently, and now their former positions are being inspected for booby traps. ortiz egos done off reports on location and bit of warning. you may find some of the following images disturbing. so this is the place where the as of new nazi battalion tried to break through the encirclement and well somehow get to the other. sure. some were swimming across this river at least tried well they failed. and as you can see, this place is in ruins. they're still mines are scattered across this place and

there's an armored personnel carrier behind me as well that toppled and fell into the river. and if you were to peak around the corner, just like i did in the beginning, you can still see some of its crew floating in the water as, as off, was trying to escape the plan to escape the as of style steelworks. they tried to gain a foothold here under this bridge, making it a temporary shelter for them. a rush, an air raid found them, and while they failed, they couldn't escape. and here you can see all sorts of weapons and equipment scattered around the place, like there's a rocket launcher over there, a, a vest and armored vest over here you have a 2nd rocket launcher, likely in and lower british and law. not only is it loaded, but it is also locked. so one careless step, one careless push and this thing will open fire. all these vehicles around me were

destroyed. full of armaments full of weapons, machine guns, sub machine guns, assault rifles, grenades, you name it here. you can also see plenty of cases like this case from some miss our launch. unfortunately, i can't tell which one exactly, probably an american made stinger. so all these vehicles they carried some sort of armaments for the as of battalion. and quite interestingly enough, this one is a civilian car. yet if you look under the seats here, you can see minds, 120 in caliber. so they were disguising themselves as civilians, and they were shipping, transporting weapons to the as of neo nazi battalion at the plant. well, and here, a group of as of neo nazi fighters. this is where they rested one last time before making the final push. you can see stretches here,

probably this is where they treated the wounded little bit over here you can see special medical says is that were designed specifically to cut clothes on an injured person. also a lot of bullets and even grenades scattered all over this place. you leaders have so far failed to reconcile differences over a long awaited 6th round of sanctions against russia, which might include an oil ban that's as the president of the austrian industries at federation. georgia, camille has sounded the alarm over a possible halt of gas imports. he says, an embargo might cause 300000 austrians to lose their jobs. it would have massive negative effects on our economy. the greatest risk does not come from russia. this is not the security of planning that we require. this would be a straight path towards a loss of prosperity. earlier,

a hungry held up the use 6th package of anti russian sanctions saying that halting russian oil imports would cripple its economy. meanwhile, european industry leaders in the precious gem and the car production sectors are worried about a luminous unemployment surge coming their way. and major jolts for factories they say, with little to no consequences for moscow. artesia your correspondent, trav davinsky reports. well, if he thought the surgeon household energy prices was bad enough and then to add on to that the increase in basic goods, then you may want to walk away from your screen right now because the warnings coming from certain industries about the feature of the european economy if the block continues with its sanctions against russia is pretty devastating. this will start off with, with the car industries with manufacturers such as b, m, w,

and also volkswagen. suggesting that further sanctions could see the entire industry grind to halt or industry accounts for around 37 percent of german natural gas consumption, not just b m w, but the entire sector would come to a standstill. i think we should do the utmost to really stop this war and get back to negotiations and get back to trying to open up the world again. well, it could be time to slap up a call before those production holes, but it's not just that warning from the car and stream. we're also hearing a pretty similar warning coming from the diamond industry. now at the moment, there are new sanctions against russian diamonds being imported, but sanctions that have been imposed by the u. s. a said to cause a problem already in the supply worldwide. so much so that the heart of the diamond industry here in europe in antwerp in belgium, is suggesting that they could be wide by bankruptcy and major job season,

or expert se so new reason. by banning russian stones, we would only be cutting our own flesh. it would cost $10000.00 jobs in one fell swoop, and it won't hurt the russians. they would just fly their stones to do by that despite is pussy and quite of a warning. so different industries, it seems of the wants to do a full steam ahead with further sanctions. it's already saying that. ringback look, set to approve a sick set of sanctions, hopefully in the next few days. now throughout the war and ukraine is the new is been announcing new sanction package. often new sanction package. it is said, one thing pretty consistently that the packages of sanctions must home the russian economy more than they calm the economy, scale in europe at the moment that doesn't appear to be the case with the russian economy being far more robust than expected. however, here in europe, many people are really feeling the price squeeze. and of course we're now getting

is warnings from many industries about the devastating impact they could be if there are further sanctions. meaning that many on our questioning, whether the sanctions themselves or even doing their job. meanwhile, the head of the european commission has made a u turn while talking about a russian oil ban, saying that the move wouldn't be safer for the economy, for sale of underline, previously insisted on energy sanctions against russia. but now she says, an oil embargo would only benefit president putin. so today we will propose to ban all russian oil from europe. this will be if we would completely cut immediately as of today, off the oil, he might be able to take the oil that he does not sell to the european union to the world market where the prices will increase and sell it for more to west is getting more desperate,

i think they see russia winning this war in eastern ukraine. so far the economic sanctions against russia have not hurt russia. in fact, the rubel is now record highs. meanwhile, seems like the sanctions of backfired on the west. i don't see how europe can refuse russian oil. i mean, maybe they could try to be less dependent on it. but the fact is it's the closest oil supplies. so this is an insane move by europe if they do this. and i think a lot of leaders there in the population know it. i think they know that their political future is probably on the line. but again, whether they will follow what they know is uncertain. the far reaching effect of western sanctions on russia has been impacting latin america as well. with russia, one of the world's largest fertilizer exporters, accounting for more than 12 percent of the global market. sanctions on exports have

put the whole region on the verge of an agricultural crisis. ortiz alex pinion reports from mexico to learn you propose. last year i planted 3 hacked us, but this year only one year, due to rising prices for raw materials, and especially due to the shortage of russian fertilizers caused by the imposed sanctions. sergio garcia has had to plan less corn and tomatoes this year. over the past decade, mexico's agricultural sector has become more dependent on russian fertilizers, particularly urea. according to preliminary estimates, mexico needs about 6000000 tons of fertilizer this year, philip, without us going, the zone is not getting there was these problems are not related to a long standing friendly partnership, but are explained by the difficulties in transporting goods on a global level which arose primarily because of the situation with russia and ukraine. therefore, it's currently difficult to import fertilizers into mexico sim. but i think that the growing crops with our fertilizer could be a real disaster from mexico and if the moment villas at the moment farmers are

considering different options to get out of the situation. for example, it has been proposed to use other types of fertilizers or apply smaller amounts to reduce costs. sir, jew garcia's buying less fertilizer, where he previously used 5 bags of fertilizer. now he only uses 3 days. late this unit number month, i will try to grow crops. i can only hope that i will not lose the money i have invested. but i do not think that is possible. i think production volumes will decrease. in the said, method is the meter is also a shortage of fertilizers and warehouses in general. 20 per cent of farmers costco to fertilizers. but amid the shortage that figure has risen to 50 percent according to forecast by the end of the spring summer cycle. farmers may lose part of their crops, in some cases up to 50 percent. lily bottom, ayana with the price may change from day to day, particularly thought any issues with the weather. as the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch. the mexican government has set of plans to triple fertilizer production to support the agricultural sector. if this,

if so far, 740000 farmers and 9 mexican states have taken advantage of free fertilizers to feed their corn beans, wheat, and rice crops. the problem is there is not enough support for everyone jeopardizing employment for hundreds of thousands of families and driving of food prices. a major crisis is brewing. so yet them to come all, it would basically mean death, what, what happened to the people in the whole country without agriculture. the trade turnover between mexico and russia may seem insignificant in relation to other countries. but as we see, it is of strategic importance that he pursue this situation will really harm our economic relations and trade turnover, which has been on the rise. of course, it must be taken into account that due to the conflict in ukraine and the sanctions imposed against russia, this growth will stop and the trade turnover will decrease economic sanctions against russia,

imposed over the conflict in ukraine or having macroeconomic consequences. and mexican farmers are already feeling their impact within just a few weeks time. one of them alex pinion, 40 mexico city. it has been a tumultuous wake in pakistan as thousands of supporters of ousted prime minister imran cons. political party have taken to the streets to protest against the countries, new leadership appointed by parliament. some of the demonstrations have descended into violence amid clashes with police. the police have been using tear gas to disperse. the enraged to protesters accused of throwing stones amid the violence. numerous people were detained. authorities put up roadblocks to prevent droves of cons. supporters from entering the capital in islamic bog. but the demonstrators still managed to break through the aston, prime minister, organized

a march to demand new elections after he was deposed last month and a vote of no confidence by the national parliament. and on his way to islam of odd con, spoke out to his supporters, saying that the newly appointed government serv, under washington's orders, i'm ready. i cannot go to day american servants in pakistan's, most corrupt people are government, are afraid of the people i go on. they had blocked the roads with the shipping containers all over pakistan, stopping our people and arresting them. and i was the political turmoil has been exacerbated by rising fuel prices. as the new government has increased tariffs in a reported bid to unlock more, i am a funding for the country. some say cons office would not have permitted those controversial price. ex journalist java or anna says, the current government is being orchestrated by the us. this government has him clearly because of glasses of oil because it is on the technicians of the armor,

which is controlled by the u. s. u. s. was very unhappy with the former prime minister because it made it clear that the the, the show was good was very to give us on, on 30 percent confession. and he, the economy of the pockets on has been a bit dr. usually any one of them will deck on me back on track. i think when he was removed, there was a public backlash because there was already an american. cindy mentioned fucking song and when people came to know this is jim jeans. dog was stalked by americans. i think then people don't know in hundreds of thousands, they'll come the farmer farmers on the fish the us has planned to bring in over 1000000 cans of baby formula over from overseas in the coming weeks after a shortage has seen empty store shelves nationwide. due to disruptions in the supply chain, the stems from february shut down of a formula manufacturer that had controlled almost half of the domestic market.

earlier, new york city mayor declared a state of emergency over the shortfall. the nationwide infant formula shortage has caused unimaginable pain and anxiety for families across new york. and we must act with urgency the mayor of new york city, eric adams declaring a state of emergency because of a lack of availability of baby formula nationwide. but also here in the city, in the boroughs of queens in the borough of brooklyn, people just don't find it on the store shell. it's not there. and this comes on the back of joe biden, invoking the defense production act, getting the military involved reading this as a national emergency. the fact that baby formula is not available there is a nationwide shortage. this is some of the reaction with america being it occurred to them here. and now we don't have the funds in order to pay for, you know,

the inflation or the prices in higher gas and things like that. it's really hard. bill with the price is going up on everything. i don't have food for your babies. it's kind of like, where's my health and everything un? absolutely nothing more, not only for the formula supply chain, it's why i don't understand why our government isn't doing more. now. one of the major factors leading up to this was the shutting down of a facility that made a very large percentage of us baby formula. i was determined that there were unsanitary conditions at the facility. some babies were infected. so as a result of that, this facility was shut down by the food and drug administration that caused a shortage. in addition to that, there are issues related to the supply chain by increased demand coming out of the pandemic, etc. but all of the rating a situation where a lot of people are very, very nervous. you can't find a formula anywhere. we've looked at walmart, walgreens, my baby can't find any where it's really,

really hard to find. we've looked all over at wal mart here, target everywhere like in formulas, basically out everywhere. it's hard to go to the store and find exactly what, what he's drinking with all the other formula, like he was sitting up and everything and it's not, it knows we switch them to this one. and it's just hard to find the formula that he's on. this is being treated as a very serious emergency here in new york city and a national level. we've heard some thunder, a speeches on the floor of congress. money has been allocated to deal with this. but many people are looking at this as a failure of dividing administration. why was not taken more seriously? why was priority not given to this issue rather than dealing with international issues. ready that they seem to have been given priority to. so a lot of anger as a lot of working families are worried about where baby formula will come from. there's also been reports of price gouging because baby formula is so rare. there been reports of people charging quite a bit of money for it. you know,

i'm in the shortage. there's attempts to crack down on that. so why did serious situation, especially here in new york city. ready but all across the united states, us secretary of state antony blinking, said on friday that turkeys objections to finland and sweden joining nato would soon be overcome. possibly even before the alliance of summit next month earlier turkeys president accused those nordic countries of supporting what it considers kritisha terrorist groups and said the block has failed to address those concerns. we believe that an enlargement policy, which disregards the fundamental aspects of security won't bring benefits for us or for nato. all nato states would need to agree for a new member state to be accepted, gra has acute stockholm and helsinki of harbouring members of the kurdistan workers party, which turkey considers a terrorist organization anchor also wants to sanction lifted over its military operation against kurdish forces in syria,

both finland and sweden have faced domestic opposition against their bid to join the western military alliance. in sweden's 2nd largest city guttenberg crowds took to the streets to express concerns about the country potentially being dragged internet. a wars. politicians in both northern nations have refused to put the issue up for referendum. a prominent journalist in finland recently burned the nato flag and protest against joining the block. you ha, court, horn and chairman of the association of independent journalists conducted the demonstration in the center of helsinki. we spoke to him about the countries public perception of the us led military block. i thought he lisa durable is worth the swarming nato will not increase phelan security. there are many people in finland who are against nato, especially because the block is increasing tensions with russia. we have a shirt long border of 1300 kilometers on the fence of learn to live in harmony

with russia here for 80 years and do not want any tension. we don't know exactly how many friends are against during nato now, but before there was 60 or even 70 percent of the population. therefore, the fins have taken a civil initiative on a referendum and record time. and this initiative is received the necessary 50000 votes. so forth, however, the parliament has still refused to take this into account, which is unprecedented. this referendum of the finished people was ignored for political reasons, to finish politicians just wanted everything to be passed very quickly. finland and sweden's beds for nato membership have been almost universally welcomed by the current nato states. but there is opposition, as we just heard from turkey and also from croatia you heart. cornyn again, is angered that the finished public is not being allowed a say in one of the countries biggest decisions and decades. they was on or they dallas or we live in finland at an unprecedented time debates and feminine than in

the media. and now completely under the control of nato, the finished media was completely one sided about nato. but in fact, the more serious problem in finland, his social networks were if you say something against nato, you will immediately be called an agent of a foreign government. that is, in this case, a russian agent. people are intimidated at work even found and yell that in social networks are not allowed to speak out against nato, or simply express their own opinions. my generation has never witnessed something like this when people are being completely gagged and this is just sad. in my opinion, this is absolutely killing the conversation on social networks, but by burning the nato flag. i wanted to show that finland still to express its own opinion, even if you're trying to silence it in every possible way. as decades, long economic globalization has been disrupted by co restrictions to for time sanctions and the war in ukraine, brazil's economy and minister says not following the world wide trend has been

a blessing for his country, brazil out of sync with the rest of the world. we stayed out of the party. there was a 30 year party of globalization. everyone took advantage. everyone integrated the value chain. we were cursed because we were out of this thing. now we're blessed. well, that sentiment was not shared by the majority of the influential world leaders, business men, and opinion shapers, who gathered at the global economic form and the alpine switch town of davos. this week, globalization was dominating international trade for the last 3 decades. but now i made the pandemic and the current conflict in europe. the world is becoming more fragmented analysts. some of the forms participants came up with buzzwords to describe, i suppose, a new form of globalization. they used euphemisms such as reassuring self sufficiency and resilience to describe the global economy becoming fragmented into individual regions. nevertheless,

economics professor is devonne kudner and says that the global market integration promotes progress. there is a new wave which is pushing many countries towards new job. political positions. resources are not concentrated everywhere. and they are not disposable immediately. the way we need. so to be our park, it is very difficult. the bigger is gone, 3, the nicer and higher can be the probability of the possibility of supplying itself . that's the case of russia, of brazil, of the united states, and some other enormous continental countries. however, even disposing some of these war materials,

people acknowledge ease and the like which are essential to create this autonomy. integration is necessary because somehow it demonstrates the existence of progress, which is substantial for all countries together. as western countries suffer from an energy crisis amid disrupted supply, james business leaders ad davos called for a more integrated approach to global trade. art correspondent done quarter comments with the world fracturing into different political camps. the west may be losing its footing at the helm of international affairs. still at this year's davos forum, western business leaders made it clear. globalization must not be impeded. we cannot let globalization reverse. i will not leave davos with that thought. i will leave with the thought that we will need more collaboration. i'm afraid the risk of a world recession is less than the risk that we are going to walk into the world with more fragmentation. with trade blocks and currency blocks separating what was

up to now still an integrated world economy with a conflict in ukraine, bad weather, and inflation all contributing to rising food prices, davis, his worst nightmare appears to be coming to fruition. global trade is being dramatically affected with malaysia, for example, already halting monthly exports of 3600000 chickens until production stabilizes. while a number of the world's biggest grain exporters like russia and cassock, stand, have restricted oversee sales to protect their domestic markets. after a heat wave ravaged grain output in india and prices shot sky, high new deli band, private sector grain exports altogether. some experts say india is even thinking of doing the same with rice. the government has already imposed restrictions on wheat exports. it's a matter of time when restrictions on rice exports might be considered new. deli denied having any such plans, but rumor has already played its part spreading panic to those who rely on indian

rice. i am meeting a lot of rice importers at a trade fair. everyone has a concern that they are getting feedback from indian suppliers that the government is going to ban non biz, muddy exports, which is totally incorrect. at the same time, western officials seem to be confused as to their role and all of this on the one hand, they're decrying the idea of a globalized world and defending multilateralism. multilateralism works it also a prerequisite for stopping the di globalization that we are experiencing while on the other. they continue to shower, key of with money, weapons prolonging one of the biggest current catalysts of the globalization, the ukraine conflict. the unprecedented anti russian sanctions regime has also forced independent countries to dig their trenches deeper with bushes that are needed. there are more and more countries in the world. they want to have their own independent policy, and no global policeman can stop this natural global process. so with western political and financial leaders continuing to tell the tough guy line, they may have to consider

a new path less. they continue to reap what they so all right, that does it for me this hour, i'll be back and let's say 31 minutes and 15 seconds with another full in 1st lecture weekly. here with us are transnational ah with mm. welcome to world to part the bible's command that the sun shall not bear the

iniquity of the father and vice versa doesn't always apply in politics. but in the case of the recent elections in the philippines, it seems a remarkably relevant. the naval health, not just one, but 2 political dynasties to return or stay in power despite their rather contentious legacies wise families, politics so attractive to filipinos. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by areas of guy, political science professor at the university of the philippines. gentleman, professor arlin, great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thanks for having now of filipino politics over the last couple of failures. a wasn't boring at all, but even by your boisterous rather boisterous vendors. i think the latest elections produced rather remarkable results. we have the son of an ousted and disgraced
