ah ah, give amid russian allied forces have taken the city of civil done yet. little guns for public ukrainian troops have little chance of reclaiming the city. us officials layouts a new anti inflation plan based on organic farming methods which previously failed inter lanka and china and russia pledge to join efforts to tackle global challenges and promote a multi polar suffice it with the news here on our international and peter scott's near the top stories, a 70 m, moscow time this friday morning. we start off this hour with the latest on the war in ukraine where russia is reportedly stroke and industrial plants in the heart of region. and these on verified pitches appear to show the aftermath of the strike by

russian forces on the facility in the village of new the locals claim, the windows and doors and near by houses were blown out due to the explosion. but there's not been yet an official comment from moscow here on the incident be while fighting continues in the don't buses, new guns group, public ukrainian presidential advice admits that he has forces on likely to reclaim the city of civil done. yet the city is believed to be almost completely under the control of russian and allied dom bus forces while ukrainian, so just still remain on the territory of the cities as all plants and the industrial area. the majority of ukrainian troops early withdrew to the neighboring city of lacy johnson. and the city is also seeing fist fighting at the moment as the occupies a strategic position with the credit troops used to strike the nearby civil done. yes, town are eager to done over sensitive data from the front lines right now, the ukranian forces are trying to break free as they are besieged on the territory

of the as sort plant in the town of severed the nets. helping them out is another garrison in the town of lucy chance, which is just over there. you can see on the horizon there are plumes of smoke. well, we can clearly hear the sounds of war. well battering all around as they are banging all around us. so this is what they were trying to do because the town of lucy chance, which is just over there. it is the last bastion of ukrainian forces. he and the le ganske people's republic, the town of severed the nets, which they have who had to which they had left right now is almost under the complete control of the logan's peoples, republics, army. and while the russian soldiers, as well the only enclave still that is still held by the ukrainians by the ukrainian nationalist nazis, and were regular soldiers, is the territory of the assault plant. but while the, the living sector,

all the apartment blocks are under the control of the russian. and while the allied forces against the battle is happening just just down the street, just literally just maybe a few kilometers away from us. the us inflation rate has risen. so in all time, high of 8 percent are back in march, treasury secretary john it's yellen we showed the country this inflation was not a big problem with sanctions against russia over his war. ukraine have pushed already high energy and fuel prices up further. she now by tribes, i analogy her assessment of the economy was wrong. is there a risk of inflation? i think there is a small risk and i think it's manageable. i think i was wrong then as i mentioned, there have been on anticipated. and lord chuck's to the economy that i didn't at the time didn't fully understand. a recent report from bloomberg found it's record inflation rates will have the average us household spending $5200.00 more on the

same baskets of goods compared to last year. that's an increase of over $400.00 a month or reports in march found that americans in the mountain states are experiencing even higher inflation. averaging over $500.00 in household expenses in january alone, professor of economics and politics jack rasmus told us the bottom administration has done little to tackle the problem of rising inflation. i think the democrats are in big trouble because they haven't really addressed the problems. and the people were aware of that. it was pretty obvious what were the forces building towards a more inflation to late last year. we had all these supply problems, not just in the ports, but you know, within the domestic economy as well. and after that, we had a lot of companies and industries. take advantage of the awareness of supply, who didn't have a supply problem, but jacked up their prices. none, none the less. so you've got the food companies that are pushing a prices,

you know, you've got even the baby food problem there. but on top of that, you've got something gray real and now that's the sanctions and the rising commodity prices and going on speculators and so forth. and now you've got the u. s . companies who's productivity is pretty much collapsing. and they're going to start raising their unit labor costs than the jacking up their prices as well. so we have a oh, series of overlaid of causes that are sort of coming together in a, a perfect storm. which means inflation is going to continue for some months. here it is. this isn't gonna go away. well, amid those rising inflation and fuel costs, u. s. officials have a new pon to tackle the crisis using organic farming methods, but it seems upon will face difficulties in practice as has been witnessed in shall anchor in the past killer, moping reports for months and months, the flood waters have been rising. gas prices have been going up and up,

americans are now being told that things could be soon, even worse, especially when it comes to food. there's a lot going on right now, but the idea we're going to be able, it's, you know, quick switch, bring down the cost of gasoline is not likely in their term, nor is it with regard to food prices at the supermarket or of 8 percent over march of last year, why it's more expensive for farmers to fertilize their crops. and the fuel that they use for their machines is also more expensive. both of those situations have a lot to do with anti rush and sanction. some farmers are speaking up and raising the alarm at this point, biden is coming forward and saying he feels their pain and he has a plan. samantha power put it into words. we're working with countries to think about natural solutions like maneuver or in compost. and this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually anyway, so never let a crisis go to waste organic farming sounds all nice and ego logical,

but it doesn't work out too well in practice, sri lanka tried it and as a result, their crop output decreased by a 3rd d industry alone. last $425000000.00. things got to be so bad. the government actually paid out compensation to those farmers who lost out amid their little experiment. but the economic nightmare is still on hunger rioting. in the street, the sri lanka, government even backtrack. someone saying we are not as stubborn government. we are sensitive to the needs of the people. american farmers see what's on the horizon and they are not happy about it. meanwhile, the rate of savings among americans is the lowest. it's been in 14 years. the biden white house continues to roll out plans that match a liberal value system. however, the problems on the ground are very real and getting worse. caleb martin, r t new york. and undone money, sarah, owners of money,

several farms in southern california, think that the director of the us agency for international development, samantha power is out of touch with farmers this whole idea to being able to use manure and everything else is just it's, it's crazy. it's about that data that's coming from somebody that has not a clue about farming, right? they don't know, they don't know what they're talking about. they don't know what they're doing. they don't know about the availability. and like dan was saying earlier, like they, they want to kind of, they want to use the newer, but yet they want to also get rid of cows. so where is all this maneuver and everything and come from it's, i mean it's just, it's craziness. there is none of this makes any sense as everybody knows of cost diesel goes crazy high. so that's going to hurt. and then you have to get more money for your crop. if the diesels too are because in mrs. tractors and everything . and then after the crop is grown, you gotta take that crop diesel and get it to the supermarket. people are having problems with fertilize, they're not going in

a fertilize well. so they're gonna cut back on their acreage of how much they plant . you're not going to go in there and plant a bunch stuff and then lose it. you can't do that. so you want to make a good crop. so you're gonna do it for as many have much fertilizer and you can get besides having to use worry about the weather has like you usually have to worry about. they have to worry about are kind of get in a fertilizer and we're going to be able to afford this harvest cropped, rice, a diesel. everything's is crazy, expensive. there are so many, all of these things just play off of one another. it starts with a fuel, but it certainly doesn't in there and it's just everything is just kind of a circular re, you have, it just adds costs and costs on costs. and then plus all of the, the, the regulations and the minimum wage. and they just, all of these factors just add to the cost of what it takes to bring food to the table. and then that certainly is going to translate into higher cost to the

customers. ah, the pakistan government is seriously considering buying discounted oil from russia . but western lean officials are concerned about the threats of un sanctions, but a representative of the former p. m. the iran con has question, those worries, if russia were to offer us oil at a cheaper rate, and if there were no sanctions on pakistan to wire russian oil than sure we'd consider that the man as a liar. he says, after $45.00 days, we will buy oil from russia if there are no sanctions ignorant man, there are no sanctions on purchasing oil from russia. ask india. so what's actually stopping him from buying other than fear of us? statement comes amid the new governments economic reforms that have led to a search in fuel prices even now phase for the economic challenges. amid the political turmoil which followed, the ousting form of prime minister in milan con, formally, that was keen to improve relations with russia. during his turn,

striking a deal for russian oil imports back in 2018. earlier we heard from sub saying ahmed dar research fellow at the center for security strategy and policy things iran cons, removal made pakistan's already difficult economic situation. wes, i guess i was offered recently by the russian counter boss during the cons administration, did we are going to give you our lemon guess with, you know, at least 40 percent less to what you are actually buying right now. but unfortunately, cons administration was dramatically changed in april and the current government is trying really hard right now in order to overcome those economy. crisis right now that is focused on is a facing right now. why? because a lot of investors of supreme god, vincent run cause and then they saw what happened with com. and these corrupt leaders. i know back into business, they pulled out all of their money from the stock market and from the financial

sector, which actually put a grid and tremendous pressure on the government because they were left with no money. when meanwhile, over in europe, inflation is also heads record highs this week, which in double digits in several countries, even leading the way is tonia with over 20 percent. among other countries, which refused to pay for rushing gas in rubles. and in the most sanction country in the world, russia inflation is actually fallen. some european politicians say the sanctions are not working and seems to have the opposite effect on a quarter has the story. sanctions, sanctions, and more sanctions. they just keep on coming. germany's economic minister is completely convinced one day their burden will break russia's back, usa, russia, russian economies collapsing, rushes, exports, and impulse of falling dramatically. not the russian economy has been hit hard by the sanctions and a significant part of it is due to germany's actions. and putin is still getting

money, but time is not working for russia. it is working against russia. the question is, will the german economy survive long enough to see that day is vice? i know that companies will suffer economic losses. we're trying to cushion the greatest burdens with loans and subsidies, and yet costs remain. german industries have been voicing their growing panic for weeks. now, some industry leaders are even saying things could come to a standstill without russian energy supplies. our industry accounts for around 37 percent of german natural gas consumption. not just the m w, but the entire sector would come to a standstill. as for ordinary germans, all they can do is bite the bullet and pay more for just about everything. i am not eating sausage and meet, meet has become especially more expensive. so i eat less meat, we and germany have the highest fuel prices in all of europe. if you thought germany is the only one suffering from its own sanctions, think again, and pretty much every country that's hopped on the anti russia bandwagon. it's the

same story. france, for example, promised to collapse the russian economy after moscow began its military operation . and ukraine said, oh, who she give us. it's russia that's going to suffer not europe. europe might face a little more inflation and the price of gas might go up a bit. but it's russia that's going to suffer and we're going to witness the collapse of the russian financial systems fast forward 3 months. the european union is facing record breaking inflation. and the finance minister has more to say about his own economy than russia's should. lupita officially, we are at a peak of inflation group. i said it's all months ago. the hardest part as ahead of us here, we are going to see inflation, which will remain high. well, like in germany, the french masses are feeling the heat. missiles will not in, don't you, when we my expenses have gone up by about 100 year as a month, including water, gas, and electricity bills. he's a fellow that we have to work more to provide for ourselves, or we need to reduce consumption. and the u. k is going through much of the same

a massive package of economic sanctions designed in time to whole the russian economy. we must also commit to the cease the dependence on russian. all of them gas. he just fell forget it. yeah. he doesn't actually on the spine, british households off slapped with an extra $53000000.00 pounds on the energy bills every single day. at this point, the blow back from western sanctions has clearly taken a serious toll, but how they accomplish their goal of hurting russia. no, in fact the global rise in energy prices that sanctions contributed to have only made rushes economy stronger. well, now with that see my vote to unfortunately, these sanctions don't work. possibly at some point they will. and the rubel didn't drop. russia doesn't feel any of these from the financial point of view, and when it does, the war will be over. the price will be paid by european citizens, while vladimir put in will smile, satisfaction. russia, seeing such

a high profit margin from these new energy prices that it's made up for the loss of its assets, frozen by western banks. even with some countries halting or phasing out energy purchases, rushes, oil and gas revenue will be about 285000000000 dollars this year. that would exceed the 2021 figure by more than one 5th. throw in other commodities and more than makes up for the $300000000.00 in foreign reserves, frozen as part of the sanctions on top of that, the roubles position on the global financial markets has strengthened to a level that hasn't been seen in years. the writings on the wall more sanctions will come only at the peril of those who deploy them. hungry disagreements with you sanctions against russia could endo badly from budapest. does the vice president of the european parliament caterina bali demands hungry strips of it's voting rights perhaps? now is the time to speed up this procedure and temporarily deprive hungary of the right to vote. now, in the case of hungary, this has really turned into

a means of blackmail. this comes amid another public standoff between budapest and brussels as hungry has long been at loggerheads with the e. u. of the approach towards antique russian sanctions. recently to budapest, successfully negotiated and exceptions with total oil embargo and will continue to receive it through a pipeline. gary and prime minister to all been previously compared the reckless restrictions on russia with an atomic bomb, a phase countries economy. we heard from delta ga, some well, a senior research fellow of the global policy institute of london. he says, europe is divided over the issue of sanctions with pm or by negatively portrayed in western media. there is no support within the european union for these. the extensive sanctions against russia sanctions are clearly hurting the european people themselves. already people are suffering from high energy prices from high food prices and don't give them why.

why, where, what are they doing this the media anywhere, particularly in the speaking. well, they in there and they just describe victor as a kremlin, and i like a friend who just put in support that they smearing him in this way. even know or by me has gone along with the european union condemnation of russia. so. so the european union, wo anyone raising these type of questions with anyone? if these kinds of questions, they're immediately attacked as being approved and pub in bar working with a crime plans, criminal, talking point ledger, smearing anyone who raises these questions on china's leader? she jin pink has reportedly said that china would find ways to support russia,

but without violating western sanctions imposed on the country because of his conflicts in ukraine. and this china and worship pledged to work on a united approach. responding to global challenges. calling for continued partnership on promoting democracy, monopolizing the definition of democracy, imposing values and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the guise of democracy and human rights as unpopular and will not succeed. china is ready to work with russia and the international community to promote true democracy that is in line with the national conditions and public opinion of all countries. in such a difficult, critical time that the world is going through today, a comprehensive strategic partnership with the people's republic of china remains among the priorities of the foreign policy of the russian federation. but in the experience of joint work shows that our ties have an inexhaustible potential. there no conference on russia. china corporation focused on counseling, perceived threats from military alliances, light, nato, and dorcas,

as well as western sanctions over russia's aggression in ukraine. and the impacts of they found on the global economy. it's a gal vice president of the sense of china and globalization thing. thank. he believes this stage should respect the various types of democracy in the world. those china and russia contribute to global economic development. each emphasizes independence very much and each emphasizes corporation with other countries. and both of them are testing to play important role in the world of today. and we call for peace and focusing on development rather than warmongers. no country in the world has a monopoly all democracy. as a matter of fact, democracy should suit the special circumstances of the countries. it is applied to horribly country like china. of course, we need democracy. of course, we have democracy in our process. however,

our democracy is very different from that in the united states, offering on many other churches. what therefore, we embrace democracy on the one hand. and we promote economic and political development with our own special tasks. therefore, i think countries need to respect each other rather than using their version of democracy and accused other country as if they have a monopoly of democracy. that's not the case. and that should not be the case in the world of to day countries. d to respect each other rather than trying to overthrow each other. russia, ukraine and turkey have agreed to create a c corridor to save the exports agricultural products from ukraine. let me be supported by the united nations with the organization sounding the alarm about and leaving humanitarian crisis amid global wheat. deficit's. 20000000 funds of brain needs to be exported from ukraine, but the stop all is impossible to reach given the conflicts,

routes and safety arraignments arrangements of such a corridor are being discussed with the joint initiative. looking to alleviate a global food deficit, many of the world's top officials have laid the blame for the crisis on russia using moscow of blocking ukrainian ports in response to russia. as the problem has been exacerbated by western sanctions. the issue is artificially exacerbated by western countries and the kiev regime, which follows all their orders. it seems that western civilized group, as they call themselves, has set the objective of creating and later with titanic efforts to overcome the issue of food insecurity. but they need to be candid with themselves. they created these problems themselves over a long period of time. they manipulated the international agenda. flirting with energy security issues. all this directly affects food security. among other things, you know, and of course, the ukranian crisis that the western power is nurtured for a long time as a complex issue. this is

a question of the non constructive behavior of the key of regime, which is blocking ships and ports. we already know how they can turn the situation inside out. you claiming black is white and vice versa. vital vinyl depend skins. head of cyber command has confirmed us managing his are conducting offensive operations in support of the key of government amid rushes offensive in ukraine. we've conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum, offensive defensive and information operations. we went in december 2021 at the invitation of the key government to come and hunt with them. we stayed there for a period of almost 90 days. while since the beginning of the conflicts in ukraine rush has been targeted by cybersex on day to leaks on an unprecedented scale. worship officials condemned the increasing number of hockey and sikes against russia state institutions and critical infrastructure. the foreign ministry issued a statement claiming that the attacks carried out from abroad remaining linked to north america, the u. on ukraine. scott ritter,

a former marine corps intelligence officer, suggest that a smaller scale cyber war has been ongoing between the us and russia for some time . now, even before the latest pentagon admission, there's no doubt that this is a cyber war, i mean, but let's, let's pretend that it hasn't been going on for some time. it's been limited in scope and scale. we're not talking about, you know, full fledged cyber warfare. but you know, he, he hinges what's going on. he said we went hunting. that means they, they sat down and check with their ukranian counterparts. and i believe what they were looking for are the hacking tools of, of various russian or russian affiliated a. you hacking group signed it down before they can attack this. if this operation was working, if united states were seeing um, you know, great results from this, you wouldn't be hearing a word about this. i mean, cyber is some of the most secretive operations undertaken to the fact that a 4 star general is speaking to

a foreign press outlet ragging about capabilities means that it didn't work. and so they're trying, but they've no, they're falling back on their information warfare aspect, which is the trying to spin, failure into success. believe me, if it was succeeding, we wouldn't be hearing about even the fact he's talking about it tells me they failed. they felt big, and this is a desperate effort to spin failure to success. i said you'll bangle today with all the latest from around the world. my name is peter scott. i'm back again with more at the top of the hour. ah, ah, need to come to the russian state. little, never the outside as i'm phoning santini. investigation again. how something up with i'm speaking

when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, yeah, i had 2 or 3 i spoke earlier with her of what are your thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new frontline church? i think what they call this area, the greys oh dear. i don't like the really early found the request pretty me with that was only about a year to come with for our shopping. this is bill or tell her where they'll do so nobody wants to that similarly, was him dumb or was it a,
