12:04 pm
and people are trying to id her at the moment. local authorities. now several districts here in the next came under fire on monday morning and indeed a couple of schools. this one and another school in the same area have been damaged as well. local officials are saying that the crating side used 155 millimeter millimeter artillery against civilians. here as the result or at least 20 people had no bonded. and so there are children born among those people as well. now, one of the principals of one of the schools talked to us little bit earlier in the day and she said there could have been a lot more victims, less of a listen. they were going to deliver water here and accept human tearing 8 nearby. but they was own, cancelled early this morning at 9 30 am around 50 people were supposed to gather
12:05 pm
here. adults and high school students. at the time of the explosion i was inside, we were having online classes. now there could have been a lot more victims just like this principal said, plus may. the 30th of this monday is the day of this state exam. so a lot of fun children had centered their schools. and fortunately those schools that had not been hit, so thankfully there is the children are now on the distance learning. so many of the schools had indeed been empty, but teachers and technical staff were all there elsewhere. the ukrainian city of military people currently under russian control has also been locked by an explosion and at the local administration, has called terrorism to human italian aid workers were injured in the blast early this morning when they car drove over an explosive device and also correspond that was at the scene. go see similar to what i am now at the mother topple hotel in the
12:06 pm
center of the city where an explosion took place just 15 minutes ago. that left windows broken on all 5 floors. this behind me is the building. this is the restaurant and the car was parked behind it when the explosion occurred. the sound was so loud that after was i felt like i had lost my hearing. the police have now cordons of the area to find out what happened. such things have never happened before in mila topple, and a 2nd explosion is still possible, so it is not safe to go to the car. now, there is also a chance of people getting hurt by glass. from the broken windows. the bomb has been placed in a mile hole and exploded when a car with the 2 victims inside drove over. as the subsequent loss shook the windows and walls of nearby buildings and blacksmith could be seen vitally from the city. an investigation into the explosion is ongoing. russian troops took control of the city at the end of february, and his latest on advance is on the ground over the we can fighting has been
12:07 pm
intense in and around at several done yes. quantity, last ukrainian controlled cities in the la guns republic. and so the south rushes as its forces and allies have expanded their presence around the city of fettered dusk. in the republic of don. yes, i see the cost on reports from a recently see it's for me ukrainian artillery position. this is one of the main artillery positions of the logan's peoples republic militia, just outside the town of smitley. darcy, as we were heading this way, we completely missed it because even from a short distance, this looks just like shrub. but when we were pointed at them and actually showed that this is big guns with well, lots of family, ah ah
12:08 pm
no good. you're close when you're still so none of our reservists panic and they completed their mission with valor. those are not just empty words. are part of the frontline has been stretched out and we keep moving from one place to another, but nobody is complaining. every one is enduring the hardships with honor since the ukrainians fled. the don boss, army could say good bye to the former long held positions and moved their houses further and witnessed the results of their efforts 1st hand. this was one of the most heavily contested strongholds of the ukrainian forces. here before they fled that way, beyond the town of sped la darcy, when the militia made the decisive push to take this place. hundreds of bombs hail down on this bastion. ah
12:09 pm
yes, little due to submissive. i was shooting at this position for 7 years and to be here now and look at all of this. it's a special feeling. so it's hard. i remember those who have fallen while taking this hill as well as those who were killed before we by the group. we suffered a lot from this ukranian position. you can see it has a great vantage point, so they could see us from here. here they fought. here, their brothers in arms fell. finally, they can see that no loss was in vain. comic as dawn of reporting from the dawn bass r t pane and is hungry. and estonia say the block is failing to negotiate abound on oil imports from russia. european need is sitting down in brussels to try and agree on a new sanctions package. here's the hungarian prime minister head of the meeting. oh my god, this woman. oh that remember hold energy, it's
12:10 pm
a risky, serious. so therefore we have to change your approach for solutions. i'm sorry. no, i haven't got the flu. well, optimism is something that seems to be in abundance, with some leaders and not with others. as we go into this summit, they're a hugely mixed messages about who or what will be done as a result of this. we know the ursula vandalay and the commission president went into the meeting saying that she was cautiously optimistic that they would be agreement on this 6 sanctions package. i in not in the next 48 hours during the summit, but in the days after that. and as you heard there from victor openly to have hungry, he says oil will not be something that he can agree to. the question is, will that you have to completely change this sanctions package will have to take out oil if it's to get agreement in the next few days. that is, something clearly doesn't want to do the it all subjects of the russian oil embargo
12:11 pm
has been a topic of debate for some time has in it. why is that you still yet to come to any agreement there? well, it's difficult to oversee, to get 27 member nations to come together to agree on anything or but there was this sense when it's lavon. delane on, was 30 days ago, stood in front of the european parliament and said, look, we're going to ban these in ports of russian oil. there was this optimism that they would be able to pass this. pat sanctions package again very quickly as they had pretty much with the other ones. however, what we've seen since then is the e. u leaders are happy about certain elements of it and, and can't agree on that out. we know that oil is the big issue for certainly central european countries, but even as far back as last week, we were hearing from the german economy minister saying, look, we're gonna get this package given the green like it's going to happen. and now we're hearing a very different tune from that minister. after rush is attack on ukraine, we saw what can happen when europe stands you lighted. let's hope it continues like
12:12 pm
this for the summit, but it has already started to crumble. now the spanish foreign minister has been pretty clear about what the use goals are. each time it looks to push through a set of packages. at one he says, look, this has to hurt the war machine, the financing of the war in ukraine. so this is directly to hurt at putin here in russia. and the 2nd thing is to ensure that sanction packages don't destabilize the you any more. and there is a question. now when we're seeing these huge raises inflation, increasing food prices, whether in fact the sanctions are doing what they set out to do. i suppose it, what are the biggest bones of contention here is that not all of these countries in the block or in the same situation, are they some of them are more dependent on russian oil than others. so surely it's easier to call for a complete bad if you're one of the countries that only relies no little bit of russian oil. absolutely, and this is really one of the issues we've heard time and time again. it's hungry that is saying no hungry say no. we heard from victor oven previously about
12:13 pm
a month ago. same idea of banding in ports of russian oil would be like exploding a nuclear bomb on his country economy. and it's something he is not prepared to do . but what we have heard in the past few weeks is the you is sort of been thinking about diluting this package, making concessions towards hungry and those concessions include may be allowing oil to continue flowing through into central european countries, which is something that the check republicans slovakia of also said that they would be appreciative of then we've opened this huge can of worms because other countries have said, well, if you allow that, then we're going to have to shoulder even more of the burden in future if these concessions that given. and that has been something that countries are unhappy about, and this is partly some of the reason why we're in this situation now and that you cannot approve this sanctions package as it is at the moment. we've also seen the e has been trying to reach out to non member state such as serbia to say, look, come along with us for this ride when it comes to sanctions against russia. and
12:14 pm
they had hoped that they might be able to do that. however, we've heard today from the serbian president that actually his country's da signed a long term contract for russian gas. what i can tell you is that we have agreed on the main elements that are very favorable for serbia. we will sign a 3 year contract and not a one month contract as some anticipated that sees the surgeon side very well. so them, there's a gas, of course is another big issue. it's what the e was said, all along. it wants to buy or a ports of russian fossil fuels. obviously it's managed to do that with coal. it struggling with oil and gas is next possibly on the chopping block. but as we have seen each time the e wants to move its sanction packages to be harder to push the russian economy further down the line. what we're actually seeing is the repercussions of their sanctions are having a much wider impact on european countries and european politicians. and i'm looking at head to their own elections and saying, is it good for us to be in
12:15 pm
a situation where inflation is so high record highs in many countries? food prices going up, we need to perhaps appease our own people and not could see sanctions not been given green lights in the future. well, let's discuss this further, shall we with that dr. richard? well, now the professor of banking and finance at the monford university and less than many thanks for joining us on the program. always nice to have you on now, 2 days in brussels, there's not a lot of time. is it to reach a consensus that pleases everyone? how optimistic are you about the meeting? well, the, the goals that have been set out were political goals. but we now see that economic reality is beginning to hit home with a number of countries, at least the less driven by politics. the reality is that many european countries need russian gas and all suppliers. and so there is a political pressure emanating not just from brussels,
12:16 pm
but from the big box across the ocean in the u. s. and this political requirement wasn't really worked through, in terms of, you know, the, the impact on the colonies, the impact on societies in europe. because essentially the u. s. is not really concerned with that at all. and the european politicians had given and too quickly too early without working this through what we are now seeing is that that realization is hitting home. and we will therefore see a watering down of these goals. and what's currently being discussed is already significant compromise. and you can see that the political nature of this is saying, all we're gonna ban the the see born oil and gas delivery service. that's what we're going to and we're going to work on the rest later. well, the vast majority is of course, by pipelines on the land route. and therefore,
12:17 pm
this is already a major climb down some of the few countries where the leaders were a bit more foss scientists and had already earlier made the objections known as of cause hungary. and also more recently, the czech republic and slovakia. landlord countries, very much dependent on the continuation of pipeline gas wise from russia. the question is, do you want to shut down these economies? yes or no? and i think locally, leaders have concluded, no, we don't want to shut down the economies. they're ready. enormous burdens being put on many countries in the population of many countries since the supply restrictions that were imposed from 2020 onwards. and so we're really seeing the increase
12:18 pm
in supply side restrictions, while central banks at the same time, had increased effect of demand through money creation and forcing bank credit creation to expand money supply since 2020 in many countries. and of course, if you restrict supply and you increase demand, you are going to get significant inflation. that's what is happening this only in the beginning. and this is gonna be quite painful on its own already as it is. but you would exacerbate the situation dramatically if you actually would have found all russian gas and all supplies have a, you know, even before the talk san started today, a stone you in hungary already said the meeting will bring that agreement on an oil embargo as live on delay and also hinted at that as well. so given that the, the main issues of this meeting i've already kind of been decided, is there any point in how, in this meeting at all?
12:19 pm
well, it's for show us, but a few things done by brussels. all the european stage actors have to at least give the impression that they're working very hard to deliver what, what the vessel states are supposed to do according to the us, the demands. and so this is part of that game. but the conclusion is it's likely yes is for gone. because for many of these decisions a unanimous vote is required. just one country such as hungry with a far sighted leader that has the spine and is willing to speak up, boys. people is enough to put a span in the work so many of these decisions. and as we discussed earlier, not all countries are in the same boat here, some countries and more heavily dependent on russian oil than others. so how fast
12:20 pm
is it to expect a band on oil imports from those countries and what alternatives can you countries provide? yes, i think it is a valid point graced by those countries that are very dependent on energy ice from russia. if you can certainly switch shimming the physical limitations even if you have the intention of moving away from russian energy supplies completely. this does several years. and that's also true for germany. but again, i mean the politicians have been jumping the gun and it had made promises on the us request and pressure which a promises they can't keep. and the physical reality is that these are resource lies will have to continue if you don't want an immediate halt to the
12:21 pm
normal functioning or society really in western europe of some countries are less in the, in a dire situation in france is very much more a using nuclear energy for good or bad for it's electricity, supplies and energy supplies, a country that is not part of the you. but as part of nato is no way in their schools have their own oil supplies, major exporter. i'm so not everyone is the same boat, but the bulk of countries are well, many, many important and influential countries all dependent on russian energy supplies, talk to where to run our professor of banking and finance and demand for university and less than many thanks your time we appreciate it. thanks for having. ah, but the un human rights chief has called for deeper co operation with china following a 6 day visit to the country without bachelors urged paging to address the concerns
12:22 pm
of wiggles and other minorities in the country. follows. according for further cooperation and interaction between the us and china shall fall shampooed, easy lesson yet, given the many intersecting global crises, facing the world today, including climate change threats to peace and security and instability in the global economic system. as well as the impact of the coven 19 pandemic. china has a very important role to play as a key contributor in multilateral and regional for we agreed to establish regular engagement between the you and human rights office and the government of china. including through an annual senior strategic meeting for discussion of issues of respective interest at national regional or global levels. however, the officials call for cooperation with china has been slammed in the western media where somebody even questioning the very credibility of the un human rights office . the director of human rights watch in china is among michelle bachelor's critics . for heard to fail to explicitly criticize the chinese government.
12:23 pm
given the abundance of evidence of some of the serious human rights crime was under international law. was an enormous family or, you know, really damages her and be offices credibility and frankly enables the chinese government continue thinking it can commit great human rights crimes and get away with the direct to all the peace and future research foundations is the un officials rhetoric on china hospital and the criticism for failing to support the western stalls. this is part of the, a cold war agenda against and therefore she does, it definitely does as a professional un office. and that is, of course, worrying for them as it shows that you can have dialogue with china. the criticism is that her way of doing things diplomatically need to do. and she succeeding in creating dialogue that will be future meetings. he has managed to also say some positive things which
12:24 pm
a balance person should do about what china i've also done for human rights such as, you know, i don't know, 700000000 people out of warranty. they of course not been that who are confrontation on that it should be more like a bigger size, which is a did it. and of course, they feel that such even something that they have not achieve or she is doing the right thing in terms of psychology, culture, respect, dialog dialog. he's not the purpose of the policy is that concerns? prime minister claims he is ready to sell the quote clothes off his back to help. so one of the was the economic crises in the country's history ship asher. we've told the chief minister that if he doesn't bring down the price of wheat flour in just 24 hours, he will put his outfits at the set to satisfy the needs of his people. i repeat my words, i will sell my clothes and give people the cheapest wheat flour. i solemnly declare
12:25 pm
to you that i would give my life to put this country on the policy to prosperity and development. and protests walks pakistan last week after the government increased fuel prices. and what is the report? it is a bit to unlock ins, funding some for testers who class with police. many of them subsequently arrested with support is of ousted prime minister in rand con, is now course early elections, while also blaming us intervention in the countries internal affairs for the crisis . as a claim, washington denies. so he design as the author and dean at the institute of business management and pakistan sees things differently. i think the prime minister linked to the galleries, or he's trying to show that he feels really strongly about to be books ready for it . and that, you know, he's the one who has in please the prices of her choice. and now he's trying to give the people that he is really, really concerned about their welfare. and he's prepared to part with his personal
12:26 pm
belongings. just to make that a good, i can get a lot of nonsense. i don't feel right that i miss insist on increasing the prices which have had to work in fact, on to the common people at the i'm. it was interesting that he has to increase the rate of the fit, but then i don't think necessarily have to work with the i'm if, because you see that are much better. i don't, it gives the reader route that there is a knock of interference by the way, and you event as a government for pakistan. the point of i ministers and or we'll finance minister especially the economic of or it can amik managers. the i've heard the chief of, i'm, you stop and all the important state bank of governance, game, bank of pakistan. they all appointed for washington. i think that we need a break and we need to bring in people who are really honest and who have 8050
12:27 pm
arctic and who would like to develop a relationship with that should federation. and with the people's republic of china that you use police force as issued a stern warning, good weapons, the block has been supplying the key of may end up in the hands of criminals and thus cause a further instability and your at some point the war will be over, we want to avoid a situation like the one that followed the war in the balkans 30 years ago. the weapons from that war still being used by criminal groups today. the e. u has already sent 1500000000 euros of military supplies to ukraine, and recently allocated another 500000000 euros for additional provisions. most of the ages in equipments including weaponry, a massive flow of weapons to ukraine along with entrenched corruption, was cited, and a 2018 report is enabling the rise of near nancy groups in the country, such as the as of battalion perceive corruption and mismanagement in ukraine's
12:28 pm
armed forces provided a fertile environment for the formation of independent arm groups. these groups, which often labeled themselves battalions. the number of high level state officials have facilitated massive arms flows to embargoed 3rd parties, often states under international embargo. while even the u. s. established media, which is usually gung ho in its support for ukraine has become a question where weapons sent to the country would eventually end up independent journalists, thomas roper, who has visited dumbass territories, ones occupied by ukrainian troops. so it is obvious, the uncontrolled supply of weapons to cave is a threat to european security i. you just have to follow the american media. when you see that there were hearings already in congress. and when the pentagon was forced to say yes, they don't have any control about the weapons after they crossed the ukrainian border. in the u. s. and the pentagon, they're talking about to black hole. ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries,
12:29 pm
which is also no surprise and most secret, and they sending weapons there without any control. it's, it's, it's clear that at least a part of these weapons will come to the black market. but this is nothing you of the west did the same in iraq and syria. and later on they had to say, yeah, well, at these weapons, nearly all of these weapons came to the i s to the stomach state. it's, it's, it's political wish of the west to support the ukraine against russia. and they do that on any cost and looking at the $2000000000.00 right now and weapons and you have to check what they were sending. they were sending the old weapons. so i don't know, for example, norway was sending anti tank to rockets which were produced. i'm 2, a 976. this is from the museum it's. it's quite simple and quite obvious that this is just the sponsorship for, for, for the weapon industry. it's not really about helping you create what, what helped us, you crank it with and detain weapons that were stopped producing nearly 50 years ago. armenian opposition. supporters of clash with police during protest against
12:30 pm
