6th round of sanctions, all the while ukraine is losing on the battlefield. with a cruise from r t and the reuters news agency come under ukrainian artillery fire driver is killed on to roger's journalists are injured also ahead on the program a u. s. arms on molly tree, aid to ukraine, continued to increase. so to our concerns about what exactly is happening to it there with where he's shared by both republicans and democrats, we get into plus, a canadian journalist covering the crane conflict is added to a notorious quay. have faced hit list website as quote, an enemy of the brain. if a bar that tells r t she will be swayed by the threat to. they want to scare people from on

continuing to report and that's not going to work with a threat to africa is food security, which could leave the continent without adequate access to grain on fertilizer. so say he's the head of the african union, rebuking the sanction stopped on russia with one menopause 7 an evening. here in moscow, i'm union o'neill, and this is the global news update on our tea crews from r t and reuters have been hit by ukrainian artillery fire on the outskirts of the city of several financed or correspondent eager shit. donna was in one of the cars targeted ah ah,

we're just about to move into the town of several the nets. again, this is the latest town there was liberated and captured by the russian and the la guns. people's armies are here in dwelling little ganske people's republic. as we were about to move into and drive into the town. we were caught amid a shelling. there were 2 vehicles, both civilian the 1st one there was there were our colleagues with the reuters news agency behind the wheel. a soldier with the acme, with the chechen act my battalion, we were moving, we were the 2nd vehicle following them. so again, both cars, civilian and so 1st we heard a couple of shells. a couple of shells landed a good few doesn't meet has around us. so there was no cause for a lot of rule. this is a war zone. so these things they happen. the 3rd one caught the very 1st vehicle, the one moving in front of us. we did see it. apparently it was a direct hit. we saw a bright flash, the vehicle tipped over to the side and it was and it caught on fire was get caught

to blaze. so are the driver, the soldier he died instantly right there and well a to the 2 of the reuters crew all of them, they were injured. luckily, nothing serious. one of them has a broken arm and another was wounded in the leg. but you have just talked to the minutes ago, in fact, they are fine and they don't even need to be taken to hospital right away. they've told me they are going to la ganske and from le ganske they will move to the next you know, themselves. so this is what they're doing, they're fine again. so there was, i mean, as fine as they can be. of course they have received injuries, but well, luckily, nothing serious. and i just want to stress and point out that are well, obviously the ukrainians, they've saw us, they saw that there were 2 civilian vehicles. go towards us was the town of oz, several the nets. and they were trying actively trying to hit our cars. it wasn't like they was shelling the general area. we were with that target. and so well,

they succeeded a full ma gsa to the ukrainian artillery artillery sports. as on those who pulled the plug, pulled the trigger, they did manage to catch to john less of a european news agency. reuters in the across has and they successfully had their vehicle. he core shut down off. know, kiev has suggested the new rocket systems, the u. s, ascending to the country could have a range of 300 kilometers. that is, despite the pentagon stating it will only hand over rockets limited to an 80 kilometer firing distance. who typically channel is the live. do you remember how this will started them, but they were afraid to give us extra sting, his extra javelins. they said it was a precedent, they could never set. and now there are lots of them. these things that could be no token artillery, and yet western artillery has now been received. so where the radius is 80

kilometers, there you say it will be 300 kilometers and crimea is ours. it's ukrainian, therefore we will show crimea swiftly if there is such a need. this is considered strategic russian territory and the fight that we hit crimea during the war. that was a little secret. do. melissa stance 300 kilometer claim is truth, not what else about the russian border city of brianna within range. as you can see here on the map for a national lens to that could be at risk. russia has repeatedly warned of consequences if such weapons are used to target russian territory. the props, let's add some background to this. washington earlier agreed to send a new $700000000.00 military, a package to ukraine, including a number of advance rocket launchers. but the by the administration said it only agreed to supply rockets with a maximum range of 80 kilometers. the pentagon added that kia promise those weapons won't be used to strike russia. the u. s. invoice to ukraine are stated. washington

won't control though. the exact range of those systems as president biden announced yesterday, a $700000000.00 security assistance package had been signed. this includes h i m a r s long range, rocket systems. this will help you, craney, and forces to a more accurately but also have a longer range. the exact range will be determined by the ukranian forces. from a us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, say the supplies come of the situation on the battlefield is worsening for ukraine . climbers becomes a problem because you know, right now we have ukranian forces operating the in and around the city of cargo lesson. the 72 kilometers away is the russian city of belgrade. if you put high mars up by cargo, there's a great possibility it could be used against a russian city that would make it an offensive weapon, weapon kills. because you're defending or you're attacking an m. 16 is not

a defensive weapon. you give it to me and my marines will hunt you down. i will kill you. it's an offense of what i'm ours though. the rocket system that we're sending in to be used for defense of our office, if it's, it's job is to kill. i think the, what you're basically when we talk about defensive or offensive weapons that are used within ukraine's territorial boundaries. in response to russia, special military operation, or being labeled as defensive weapons being that ukraine is using it in defense of russian actions. any weapons that are used to reach outside of ukraine and go into russia in a check russian targets on russian soil. these would be characterized as options of weapons. i think the united states is under a lot of pressure to be seen as doing something to, to help ukraine. the, the situation on the battlefield is dire case. some breaking news. we are just receiving on the program. 2 people have been killed, including

a child after an explosive device detonated on a beach in marty you both thought is, according to dan yeske at republic, forces 2 people dead, including a child would be keeping across that story. any at all, at developments on it's, we would of course bring a t with more and more money and weapons being promised by the u. s. to ukraine. concerns are growing in washington about where it's all ending up. let's go live now. to ortiz kayla my been in york. caleb, it seems nerves are increasing among someone capital i buy fis at know about where the cash, the weapons are going. tickets through what's being said, where the concerns are. sure. well, if you were sending billions of dollars to some one, you'd probably wanna make sure that that billions of dollars ended up in the right hands of the hands of those you intended to give it to you. but increasingly, there's anxiety among us officials about the billions of dollars as well as the

massive amount of heavy weaponry being sent to ukraine and who might end up getting their hands on it. here. some of the concerns that are being res, risk of diversion is one of many considerations that we routinely assess when evaluating any potential arms transfer. ukrainian leadership have assured us that they understand the importance of accountability. we're not on the ground with them and they're not telling us, you know, every round of ammunition that they're firing in, at who and at when. now that's a lot of assessing that could go on. but at the end of the day, many people consider ukraine to be one of the most corrupt nations on earth, and many sympathetic voices to the united states and, and hostile anti russian voices have said over the years that ukraine is notoriously corrupt. so we have increasingly concerns of voices at this point about the amount of weaponry and the amount of money that's being sent ukraine. elizabeth

warren is the latest to speak up us senator ins and humanitarian economic and military assistance to help the ukrainian people overcome putin's brutal war. and the american people expect strong oversight by congress and full accounting from the department of defense. now, elizabeth warren has started speaking up and she's joined us. senator rand, all a republican and we have a bipartisan call at this point for a, an inspector general to look into the dispensing of funds and weapons from the united states to ukraine. make sure they're falling into the right hands to make sure the u. s. a is not doing things it doesn't intend to do. this is some of the letter that was put forward by both democrats and republicans expressing their concerns the sheer magnitude and speed at which the federal government is sending aid calls for robust oversight in terms of both spending and monitoring its use. as

such, lawmakers should be working to ensure that there are guardrails on these enormous spending. packages such oversight would ensure that the billions of dollars that the u. s. is sending arrives in the hands of its intended recipients and does not inadvertently line the pockets of war profiteers who are seeking to use this war to enrich themselves. now it's not only a concern about corruption and the siphoning off of funds by corrupt officials. but another issue at hand is the issue of arms. now, according to the global organized crime index published in 2021 ukraine as one of the large illegal weapons markets of any country in the world. and ily, at least any country in europe and illegally traffic weapons are all across ukraine . this is what's been reported. there are 2 primary sources of elicit small arms and ammunition in ukraine. the diversion of domestic holdings and cross border

trafficking weapons from eastern ukraine are becoming an important supply source for the black market. and there been examples of this already. one of the crime weapons used by the, i'd say x 40 by the i'd say it's around the world beach gabble and has apparently been up for sale, illegally costing around $30000.00. and at this point, people are looking over the record. what happened in syria? what happened in iraq? what happened in afghanistan, and how so many of us weapon have ended up in the hands of terrorists, extreme as the narco gangs and criminal element. there are some pretty legitimate concerns here as more and more us money and more and more us heavy weaponry is that to be delivered to ukraine. reporting live from new york are tease kayla open. now a canadian journalists covering rushes operation and ukraine fund herself added to a key of based name and shame website. it's uploads, information on people,

considered to be quote, enemies of ukraine. the site has published a slew of accusations against if a bartlet participation in the informational special operation of russia, an aggressive country and terrorists against ukraine. informational support of the open military attack of fascist russia on ukraine. encroachments on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. accomplished in the crimes of the russian authorities against ukraine and the citizens of a spite, the dangers even may not face canadian mainstream media outlets have been silence with no reports of bye to her addition to what some consider i can list while i spoke with eva she believed she'd be in far greater danger if she were in canada and not russia where she lives. another such scare tactics will not stop her from reporting. some say marrow to moore, it's is a kill list with those on the side targeted by ukrainian radicals. how worried are

you? first of all, that you may be in serious danger, by having your information nodded to the site. i, i'm, as you may know, i'm residing in russia, i feel a certain degree of safety, at least being here, where i living in canada, where i grew up and where i am a citizen of the country. i would be more worried because i think it's pretty well known by now that the canadian government has a very close relationship with ukraine and with the nazi battalions within ukraine . i don't believe for a moment that the canadian government would protect me from any of these. these alternation less extra types that would seek to harm me because they see me as a threat to their country. a cbc journalist has been trying to reach out to me, saying that he would like to interview me on, on my work in the dumbass and on my participation in an international tribunal on ukrainian war crimes in moscow. in early april i think it was. now what i'd like to

say about that is, i don't believe for a moment cbc would ever give me a fair hearing on their platform. they are canadian state funded media. they do the bidding of the canadian government and the corporate interests. he did not at once point in his email mention, you know, he's appalled by the fact that i'm listed on this kill list. he didn't say anything about it, but clearly he seen it. that's the only way in my mind that he could have been aware of my participation in this tribunal. so cbc is white washing the cranes kill list. and instead seeking to inflame the fact that i participated in a panel that right lee calls out you cranes for crimes against the people of it on bass. will your work and reporting be affected by your addition to that site? i know i look, i can't live in fear, i won't live in here. i will take precautions. of course, when i'm reporting, but this is the thing they, they want to prevent people from. they want to scare people from continuing to report and that's not going to work with me. just like the smears that have been

launched against me since late 2016. the intent with mares is also to just just credit my name and to frighten me and to not speaking or writing and that that's simply won't work. i won't live in here. he's bartlett speaking to me earlier. the sanctions being unleashed by the e. u. s. against russia threatened to undermine africa's food security, young leave the continent without adequate access to grain and fertilizers bouts, according to the head of the african union, who is currently 5th being the russian capital. this also sanctions against russia have made the situation worse because we no longer have access to grain, especially wheat from russia. and most importantly, fertilizer, which poses a serious threat to food security on the continent. what mackey sal had to say was pretty self explanatory. he blew out to the water. this idea from the e. u that the sanctions are not having an issue when it comes to this food insecurity. that contents like africa are having at the moment. he said,

yes they are. the sanctions are causing a problem that aggravating the situation when it comes to the exports of grain and also of fertilizes. and what he's calling for is that to be a resolution to ensure that there isn't widespread famine across the continent. i mean, we just had figures the other day showing that some 17000000 people just across 3 african countries are at the moment in food insecurity. we know across the world that lumber is far larger than $323000000.00 individuals marching towards famine. so this is a huge issue at the moment. we know that the problem has been exacerbated, not just by the sanctions, as we heard from the head of the african union, but also by the fact that there has been this poor rainy season in parts of africa . so in countries really concerned that this is a big issue that they can face this world wide famine and they really want something done about it. now, at that press conference, that meeting to day in moscow, president putin, at once again reasserted that for him that africa is an important continent,

or suitable african, the role of africa in the international arena, in general in political terms, is also growing. we believe the africa as a whole, and it's individual states with which we have traditionally very good without any exaggeration friendly relations. the whole of africa has great prospects and proceeding from this, we intend to further develop our relations with the continent and its individual states. so present cretin has previously said that he is willing to ensure that the grains does the ports. it is also said there are no problems with sanctions because the sanctions are impacting what russia can export to the e u not 2 countries across the world. ursula vaughan de leon is also made accusations against russia saying that it's using a blockade of the black sea is essentially blackmail. and she's also accused russian military of lacing you queen, in fields with mine. so all of this has been rejected by moscow at they said yes.

okay, you, kate, at the sanctions in the you only relate to the you. but as a result of that, russian ships can't get insurance, therefore they cannot make the deliveries. it said that the problem with the black sea is to do with minds that have been put in place by the ukrainian military, which has made sure that the shipping lanes aren't safe to get the ships with the grain out. so these are the issues as far as russia is concerned, and it's saying, you know, the ramifications of the sanctions. i've just been far wider than expected. the reality is the 2 sides need to get together to find a solution to this. if you know a continent like africa is going to get those food supplies that it says it desperately needs is sharla was mentioning europe there. and in the contour itself, inflation had all time record highs this week, reaching double digits in several countries at leading the way, estonia over 20 per cent. there it's among the countries, by the way,

refusing to pay for a russian gas in rubles, some european politicians are not questioning if the sanctioned or even working out all as they seem to be having a boomerang effect. ortiz. donal quarter picks up 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 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 gym and 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 deficient. 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. miss evans will not, in all of you, we, my expenses have gone up by about 100 years 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 spy, 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 does that seem i voted through? 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 it more than

makes up for the $300000000000.00 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. india is foreign minister, us at bank at western accusations that the countries being indecisive and choosing signs in the ukrainian conflict, as well as helping fund war by purchasing russian oil. the country's top diplomat also hinted at european on american hypocrisy on the issue. only in mind, rush and gas is not funding them off. i mean, why is it it's only indian money and oil coming to india, which funds, but it's not gas coming to europe, which, what if countries in europe and the west and the united states as your cousin, why don't they allow iranian oil to come into the market, why don't they love an internal oil to come into the market?

live squeezed every other source while we have and then say ok guys, you must not go into the market and get the best deal for people. i don't think that's a very fair amount of food. why is leaking? the insured is fine. he's like this one behind me. i'm enjoying the war in you. pain began india was importing patty housing battles for a day long. russia. this number has now shot up to 8048000 barrels per day, which is an increase of 9600 person, i guess with trying to punish russia always. it is imposing. so the sanction one of the reasons sanctions,

it's in union in both and included in bible. but if you and you have to go to the, i don't all the thank you it's a half enforce themselves and i don't, the shipping company is not 30 fine. i it is coming from refine, he's like b s, b plus ocean u. s. and yadda many a issue. i see that it is common practice. i also seen that there is no and i get my sanction on russian point with this new point in india to keep getting the why, why play me to be but at the same game,

it was raising new game to enjoy. for example, in a recent article published in the us, it said that it would only become a great power if it down to washington. of course, you have to look at the smaller print to see a guy who's doing because donors on the defense company, not talk human. a little one down. they want india or site that would be a nation by using india to call again. and again, as a bit north point, i don't, i don't, i think india, i don't know. but of course,

since it's not going in to explain these contradictions, you can bet that western media and politicians will focus anthony to shame india for exporting policy decisions. will say only energy theme bangladesh is seeking ways to import all from russia. the country's foreign minister has been getting advice from his indian counterparts and how to avoid being sanctioned for the indians. trying to resolve the energy issue. russia offered energy to bangladesh, but we cannot do the same in fear of sanctions. they did a technically, we want suggestions from india. they are a big country, they can manage. we are a small country, there is more pressure on us. well, in the wake of searching prices for industry on food countries like bangladesh, risks facing major shortages, the situation is being complicated by permanent pressure from western nations which want a total bomb on energy imports from russia. every day they come up with new issues

. we used to call them development partners. they don't pay for the development, but keep giving advice. or we got the thoughts of anomalies from a south asian defense studies institute, who saved a dramatic rise in energy prices has seen developing countries such as buying a dish, keen to increase imports of russian or a. do you, ever, i think the stock price a price at these studies, we can do that and they would like to at least increase a store be so $1.00 listed noise and a phrase. so it's ready to go. you know, to see that being the sense of the sentence, extracting some kind of thing. yes. and i think each of the country has that would need to ask for a better one. be glad. this is one of the one. this one should say that he would

like to see a one half a dozen nod, next trolls talk debates the effectiveness of the use newly on lease 6 rond of sanctions on russia. the keep coming, stay with us for peter and gas right ahead. ah ah, ah.
