despite ordinary people facing for and prices. everything's doubling up, going up food as well. everything but the bridge is not good enough for us all region to survive. i will welcome you're watching all the international with the latest world news that is good to have you with us. now a chemical storage tank has exploded in the west of the conflict. we didn't look guns, republic, these images supported, he showed the blasted mechanical plant in the city of it's so very, i don't yet can. local officials have blamed ukrainian for this thing. the storage tank paid to have been detonated. the ukrainian army is said to have been in control of the industrial area at the time of the incident. me mall in the neighboring don. yes. republic. local authorities say a residential area was shelled several times by ukrainian forces in the last 24 hours leading to several casualties. a warning he may find the following. images

disturbing. among the victims was a woman, a 46 year old mine work. i was killed while she slept at home. her son was also wounded in the attack. we visited the size of the tragedy and found the victim sister in a desperate state. yes, it is. all this is that i should be shallow because whatever you alone, this thing is bold and log in. i'm going to bid you why you go to sleep. you crate. an artillery killed a 46 year old woman who lives in this house. apparently she was sleeping after and night shift at work. she works in a coal mine that says nearby rocket landed right in her house. her bedroom is right over there. and the piece of the rocket

hit her right in the neck. with me on the bridge loan, the addendum legends, me and her sister was also work at that time. but so she heard the sounds of shilling and rushed back to her house. you will. i'm not on board. you your wooden . i shocked you. little thrush me recently, he modulus like he'd been with when you, when you but all you, i'm, you want done boy with the modem is

and has some of the latest footage from a residential area and they don't. yes, we're public that is allegedly come on, the ukrainian shelling several homes have been heavily damaged with a number of people including children, said to have been injured in the attack. caregivers to get advanced american rocket systems as a part of a new 700000000 dollar military age package. washington plans to send high mobility artillery rocket systems known as he mas to the war torn country with some of them capable of hitting targets up to 300 kilometers away. if equipped with long range rounds. but joe biden says, the u. s. will not give that type of ammunition to ukraine. i however, an anonymous official funded by the new york time for that even from an 80 kilometer distance ukraine forces could still hit russian territory if firing near the border

. the officials that the u. s. would rely on a promise from president the landscape. the weaponry would not be used to attack russia. one senior administration official, acknowledge that even the rockets with a 48 mile limit could be used to attack targets inside russia if the system was brought to the ukraine. russia border. but the official said that ukraine's government had assured the united states that would not happen. i know what people are in united states are saying, where someone in the white house are saying that we might be using them to a tech russia look, we're not planning to attack russia. we're not interested in russian federation. we're not fighting on their territory despite ukraine's president promising not to attack russian territory older regions in the countries west of come on the increased shelling by ukrainian forces in recent weeks. several people have been killed in the russian regions of belgrade and cask, and several others wounded in the throat on as region. these and verified images purportedly show some of those attacks with russian air defense systems. also being

seen reportedly intercepting drones and missiles coming in from ukraine as the criminal spokes person save my kid. i cannot be trusted to pull off all it's to call off. it's a tax on russia. money to do h to be trusted. one must have experience of cases where promises were kept. unfortunately, there is no such experience here at all. on the contrary, the whole course of events show that starting with the landscape main election promised the end the war in the south east of ukraine once and for all promises have not been kept to minsk agreements will not fulfilled. they have sunk into oblivion. moreover, that is for the fault of the ukrainian side. therefore, we do not have a special credit of confidence in ukraine. she political analyst, our former us marine bryan bullock take. he's also concerned about the objectives behind supplying alms. he told us that kia could still use the us working systems

to terrorize russian civilians despite the agreements. i think they'll be used to terrorize. ready the people of the russian federation, as well as people within ukraine's borders. but i don't think it's going to make any difference. it'll take for weeks. just the train, a basic operator, they operate and batteries that require heavy logistical support. and i just, i don't see how this is going to be any different than the m triple. 7 howitzers. are the javelins or the fingers that have also failed to be the game changers. they were promoted as us weapon censored, a lot like the proxy. one of us is waging in syria. it didn't change until the facts on the ground on the battlefield for changed in theory was favor and, and left the us and its allies in a stalemate. so i think the very same situation is going to play out in ukraine. the u. s. has made no secret over many decades as a matter of fact that they will not tolerate

a peer or near peer competitor. this is all about preventing the reemergence of russia, the global power, and stopping the rise of china on the face of russia and china are linked and we can see the u. s. it's agonizing both nations and multiple fronts and ukraine. it's just among the many europe could face fuel shortage. is this some of us? that's a stock going from the international energy agency chief as the course that the current european energy crisis was much bigger than the old folks at the 1900 seventy's. when the main holiday season starts in europe and the u. s. fuel demand will rise, then we could see shortages, for example, with diesel petro or kerosene, particularly in europe. back in the 1970 s, it was just about oil. now we have an oil crisis, a gas crisis in an electricity crisis simultaneously. the paul fear has already seen gasoline prices saw in europe pricing nearly 40 percent?

well, diesel prices have seen and even sharper increase of almost 45 percent hitting all time european highs. amid the rising prices, the latest are preoccupied with a fresh round of sanctions against moscow as they been now. the ban on the majority of russian oil pumped to the blog to come into force by the end of this year. despite resistance from hungarian prominence to victor open, he says, cutting off oil supplies would be like an atomic bombing of the country, the economy. well, the ban on russian oil is aimed at taking a stand against moscow for what the use says is an illegal conflict in ukraine. europeans on both sides of the english channel are not pleased with the rising cost of living while accusing the government of failing to do enough to help ease the burden on ordinary people. zivare fact is the price and guess it does make sense. it's ridiculous is doubling, everything's doubling up, going up, food as well, everything but the bridge is not good enough for us all region to survive. i'm

sending more. i mean, is in every thing, it's not even to the food. if it's in the electric, if it's, if it's in everything that you have the, everything's gone up to put them up, the gas going up. the important financial things have gone up. the government should cut down or do something, you know, give us some kind of money. so you know, the assistant health elite is not tentatively agreed to cut off rushes largest bang from the belgium based international transaction network. swift. the move intended to disconnect her disconnects. burbank from the global financial system is part of a fixed round of sanctions to pressure russia to end the conflict in ukraine. but the bang says it was already prepared on the new measure will not have a significant effect. the west, some sanctions ah, hurting. the com is old, goes on in boise with them rather than russia. there is a limit how much you spend on energy prices and being

skyrocketing in energy bill. i mean, i know of you does have a son. hi, son, living, but even them are paying through the nose and the indications is that energy bryce is going to stay with us for quite a why? because as i said, there is hardly any spare production capacity for oil or refining capacity. so they have to go with higher prices for, for longer period. and when you on the list on sanctions against russia, these prices can only go one way and that's upward. and that will destroy that. but if you think bowler, and of course some of them will feel because of went out of this coming year.

international energy experts mondo santa may believe sanctions on russia will destroy the use purchasing power. and europeans will really fill the coat. this coming, winter, disconnecting from swift, does not change the current situation and international settlements. domestic transactions do not depend on swift and will be carried out by the bank and the standard mout sped. i'm previously shifted to a russian based system as an alternative to swift. most banks in the country have already switched over to the network according to the countries too, according because, according to the country's national central bank rational authorities, a financial system has been prepared for the shut off and has already withstood the initial shock of the western sanctions. meanwhile, mastercard, c, o has said swift may even cease to exist in the next 5 years. although the company lay to attempted to clarify his comments, to say that he believes that work would not operate in its current form in the future as where the south asian country of bangladesh is. that is considering

adopting a new payments methods to save money, invest image fast. i believe the wealth has changed too much for swift to remain. be put, don't remain the predominant platform for international transactions. i've never seen in my career which has been long and extensive in finance. i've never seen sanctions that were successful. and i think that these were well telegraphed in advance. i think it's more of a public relations gimmick to have these and an actual impact that it's going to have. i think the world has changed pretty drastically. we're not looking at a situation that was in the 1960 seventy's eighty's or ninety's the, you know, this is a new new era and, you know, encrypt okay me around. you see that people are able to transfer things fairly quickly and a lot more efficiently and cheaply. and i think that that is a big part of the system. i think, i think that alternative payment systems have been set up in russia is not isolated by itself in a bubble where people don't realize it. there are several countries that are using

a different way to transact in the u. s. dollar. a gemini might have seen, might be over about 5 years because india, china, iran, brazil, you a, e and saudi arabia, a couple other middle eastern countries and asian kind countries are in for used. different types of altering and payment systems are transacting oil, the petro dollar, which is now no longer the picture dollar, because oil has been trading in women, b, just the chinese currency. so i think that the landscape in the financial markets has changed, and it's evolving like everything else's. ah, the un secretary general has said that the unfolding global food tries is, can't be solved without russia and ukraine returning to the market to discuss the shortages where joins live in a studio by charlotte debowski solid. many thanks for coming in and what's causing be food shipment delays now. well,

there are lots of disagreements over what the exact issue is. we've heard from your opinion and we've just been hearing from the russian foreign minister said a laugh rock a, but i just wanna talk you through what the issues that's producing are at the moment we are seeing this massive rising food insecurity in africa. we've heard now from the african union, the head of the union saying that, you know, there is a catastrophic situation that could unfold across many countries, particularly on the continent. he said that they're already there. 17000000 people in food insecurity in just 3 countries, including in ethiopia. and he says that for him, it is clear what is causing this issue at the moment. our countries are very concerned about the side effects of the disruption caused by the payment system being blocked by swift over sanctions. when the swift system is interrupted, it means that even if products are available, the payment becomes difficult or impossible. when you look at the figures across the world, it's even stark than that some $323000000.00 people are said to be marching towards

food insecurity. at the current time, there was the western reaction civil this, or we know that said, the european union is very clear that it believes that the problems have been caused by blockades of ports and the black sea. it says that russia is doing that. russia is essentially terrorizing or black mailing people when it comes to issues around food ad, the current present. ursula vandalay and is saying that, you know, it's those blockades which are the problem. and the fact that russia is apparently, she says, putting minds in ukraine in wheat feels russia is not only blocking the expert of exports of ukrainian wheat. it is bombarding warehouses where wheat is stored deliberately. of course, you know about, they are also mining the fields where ukraine could have the next harvest of corn.

and i want to be very clear. we have no sanctions on food and agricultural products, no sanctions on that. now there is, now, there is a question about whether that's true or not. either there are some people said, how is it possible for russia to put minds in fields when it hadn't already managed to get to that point in ukraine. so there's a question about how that is happening, of course is rusher is increasing its territorial gains. why would it also want to increase territorial gains in fields that have mines in truly, that would be a danger for its soldiers. we've also been hearing from the russian foreign minister, so gay laugh of who's also said poo poo. some of these things that the european union said we know the earth lavonne. delane has talked about the idea that there are no sanctions on rushing ships that are carrying food, for example. but he turned on said will, yes, that's the case. but if the russian ships can't sail because they can't get the insurance and they can't take the food out. he's also talked about the fact that

the sanctions opposing a problem when it comes to the logistics of getting the foods out. and russia said it is looking and willing to at clear these blockades of the black sea ports. but one of the big issues there isn't just at the whether the problem, as she said about whether or not the ships can come in and out, is the fact that there are mines that to he says have been put there by ukrainians themselves. which means it's just absolutely not safe for the shipping routes to be used at the moment. if the problem of de mining is resolved, russia's naval forces will insure the unhindered passage of these ships into the mediterranean and onwards to their destinations. sir said gala rav clear that for him, it's the sanctions that are causing the issues here and not the war on the ground in ukraine. so we have, is this dire situation, a dire global situation here? surely, it's within everyone's interests to lift some of these sanctions and get this food out there. well, that's what russia has been calling for. it says if you do that,

we will be able to end some of these blockades. but we know already that there are calls for the european union to introduce another round of sanctions present. lensky of ukraine, addressing european leaders early this week said we need a 7th package of sanctions that could possibly include russian gas and. and that could be even more catastrophic. the reality is what needs to happen is for the west, for ukraine and russia to get around the table and make an agreement to allow the shipments of grain and also fertilizer to, to be able to leave those ports in the black, c, r t shop dimansky thanks for coming in. ah, now an indian community in russia has set up a relief initiative to help refugees and soldiers in the dorm bass. the charity titled deja after the hindi word for direction has been sending supplies to residents of the water region. the foundation has made 2 shipments of medicine already this month and says, those supplies are only the beginning. the deliveries are taken to russia's border

with the dumbass republics and then handed over to local administrations. we heard from the initiatives founder who says he feels it his duty to help the people have done bath in solidarity with russia. this in daughter, she's been id dish or this is endorsed and family. so we are mixed with family. so therefore, they are doing my heart without any any nobody ask us about him. there's a lot of issues. the lot of people needs this. all of these things, not only my thought is to be and model do deal so and there is no reason to say that they don't change. so we do know so now our duty, well we are doing the same thing. what to friends hardly. so we are helping each other. so nothing more. footage has emerged on social media that shows russia

speaking ukrainian refugees being denied humanitarian aid by a man. he demands, they speak ukrainian, the incident video of which claims to have been taken in the city of evolve in western ukraine, degenerates into a quarrel with the man saying it's not his job to understand hey, honey, to you john. i just wanna see if you might, you thought a be with you through him thinker, storms. know, were you for you, or would you prefer you didn't, you could be able to set up watch horn, but you know, i have, i smells a movie in the post claims that the refugees who filmed the video came from the east of ukraine. numerous ukrainian speak russian as a 1st language,

especially in eastern areas where the conflict has been the most pronounced. neither the un nokia have commented on the footage so far. human and labor rights lawyer dun kovachick believes there's no justification for such actions. this is clearly a pretext that this person is using to deny russian speakers aid because he doesn't like russian speakers turn disturbing. and honestly, it kind of underscores how this conflict began, and the peoples of the don bass, most of whom speak russian and what we've seen from the government in kiev is racism. and a, you know, discrimination against the russian speakers. and we see this in this video, and it's the legal as the woman points out, this is un aide,

but it appears to be ukrainians who decided that they're not going to give it to russians. b. again, there's no justification for that. obviously, if people are hungry and need to be given to them that you know, we can understand the need for food and water in any language. right. i'm it. germany's plans to raise military spending a senior parliament member say the country's army needs an image of an enemy to fight, and russia just happens to conveniently fit that spot. to put a space meant ties of light, germany's military is prepared mentally. it's the politicians who are not prepared and the military is set up by politicians sees it. it does what the politicians want, think we need an army that requires some sort of image of an enemy. we no longer perceived russia as an enemy in recent years, but now we know what an enemy looks like. earlier german lawmakers agreed on ideal to increase defense spending by more than 100000000000 euros. that would allow the

country's military budget to reach 2 percent of its g d p. a target stipulated by nate. so the spend inc includes boosting cyber defense and support for partner countries. however, german politician, academic and lawyer gonna beg, stays the ukraine conflict is used as an excuse for germany to increase his defense spending and costs blame for worsening. economic crisis is important to bear in mind that the recent decision to increase military spending is a departure from decades of previous policy. the official justification is, of course, the kind of conflict in ukraine. the government you is that this is a threat to nature's security. as a result of which they have to increase military spending on the whole nature is spending about 15 times as much on the military as the russian

federation, or even more the government is also trying to about to tension from a worst. and the economic crisis at home and the conflict in ukraine is a welcome excuse, that they can blame for the 1st time in decades to left when candidates have made it to the june 19th run off the columbia as presidential election. this although patch railway, former guerrilla, and one time the focus met, met one, the largest share of the vote with 40 percent. while we're also hernandez, whose campaign was largely carried out on social network, take talk. received 28 percent. neither candidate reached the 50 percent threshold, which would have given them our white victory. petro has vowed to transform the country's economic system and reset to relations with the us and to land as bills his election campaign promised to fight corruption. while criticizing the country's

political establishment, he also considered it necessary to revive relations with neighboring socialists, country venezuela. we heard from independent journalist fiorella, isabel, who said that colombians have long been trying to get rid of the current government . the columbia people are sick and tired of having bloodshed, and they have reiterated the fight against, for any for id. ology. you know, it's not a very good capitalism that they've reiterated. this is a fight to at least have the existence of a genuine republic and be able to have a democracy, which is why any candidate that is not the current establishment is a shift for them. colombia is actually largely for country, it's a christian country is a country that has been perpetuated, this whole neo liberal, colonial stay of the united states. a lot of colombians around the country and some in bogota. i've been fighting to get rid of this government no matter if they've had to make alliances with people. they don't agree with the situation right now.

we're at least both of these candidates have said that they would like to rehabilitate relationships with venezuela in some way. in form of economics, but petro has decided that he wants to increase the g d p by 5.5 percent in order to actually provide to some social programs. so there's a stark difference between the businessman, the rich guy that many say all he's a business. and so he's going to run the country like a business, very similar to accomplish this. right. and of course, this type of petro who's more of a social democrat, many thanks for joining us. there were 90 international web back at the top of the ah ah ah

ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah with ah ah ah ah

hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle in less than 3 months. the west ukraine narrative has been turned on its head. ukraine is not winning its steadily losing. the west is not unified. in fact, divisions are widening. the russian economy is weathering, massive sanctions, western economies are in trouble. who will blink 1st cross talking sanction regimes. i'm joined by my guess, matthew eric in montreal. he is a senior fellow at the american university of moscow and director of the rising tide foundation of canada in new york. we are richard wolf. he is professor emeritus of economics at the university, massachusetts, amorous, and author of the sickness is the system and an alber. and we cross a lew rockwell. he is the founder and chairman of the muses in city are generally cross. ugh.
