region with western countries move to restrict the massive amounts of food being binned on a daily basis by retail as officials that keep blaming russia for an international food process. with a very, we're welcome to the don't see international with the latest world news headlines is good to happy with us. and we start with breaking news story. 3 captured foreign mercenaries to british and one moroccan had been sentenced to death by a don. yes course. now thought they pleaded guilty to charges of plotting a clue that earlier they were dub heroes in the western media for fighting for ukraine in the dorm bus city of mario pole. but the prisoners have had a change of heart since being taken into custody. as all these mod garcia explains, no one knows for sure how many foreign mercenaries have been killed or captured the new cray care of keep started secret,

probably to avoid scaring away war tourists or cannon fodder is totally different in a full scale war. and my experience in this is a 1st time i've had artillery for some i've had grad and ads 1st often, and a full scale war on is disorganized, it's unpleasant, it's grim turnkey therapy do tend to whoa, that's not by not of war that you should be fighting for like, for myself and look, look at myself, i can bring her to mom's. not one sense to lensky mentioned. all talked about my case. so trying to help my situation. they understand. i have a time limit on my case. and i feel abandoned by both the crane government and the british going was sad story of the lads army. that is what they call themselves lads. army. like it was all

a joke. it's as if they had no idea what they were getting into. but they did, i feel a need to protect the ukrainian way of life, even though i'm not ukrainian. the u. k. support for ukraine has so far been really good compared to other countries. i hope our prime minister and other m. p. 's can push harder to increase support and give more equipment. aiden ashlyn likes a good fight. he was in a rock fighting alongside the kurds. likely got a taste for violence because soon after he wanted more, this tom and ukraine. i didn't have a financial means to go and start a new life completely. oh my options and i figured the best bet would be jersey. craig, i learned that a crate and military since foreigners shown pin a loads of joined up raring for our flight. the spot warnings from the british government warnings noted go to ukraine, but they could be prosecuted for terrorism if they were ton, but missed

a pin. up was so full of spirit. i am here defending my family and adopted city. russia started this war. it's funded by russia and driven by russia, but we will fight them, make no mistake about that. this is my 9th war tour. death has been a part of my life for so long. you can't go into each day thinking you will be killed or injured. if this is not your conflict, you have no business volunteering to be in it. you know, we had people here in the united states, or we brought them to the united states who were captured on the battlefield in afghanistan and pakistan, and doe, we treated them as, as mercenaries, which is what they were. they were non state combatants, hostile combatants and they faced the full power of the law. and so if, if you're an american or in the case that you cited a britisher or american and you volunteer to fight somebody else's war, then you're going to have to pay the price when you're capture,

it's going to be very clear to people who are entertaining the idea of going to praying that there's nothing in it for them there. they're not going to get rich doing this. they're not going to come back with glory from the battlefield. this isn't no win situation. they should mind their own business and stay away in the united states. we call people like this glory hounds, people who, who feel like they've wasted their lives and want to be able to tell their children and grandchildren stories some day. it's almost always a bad idea, but apparently neither showed nor aiden, nor others bothered to reckon with the consequences. mercenaries and not afford the protections of the geneva conventions. they are officially not prisoners of war. and the law of the de niro people's republic,

allows for death sentences for murderous, for example, for mercenaries. oh, go, there will so very sorry. that it turned out this way. my probably would have tried to not join the military and trying to get in to like a civilian way. i'm hoping the people on the judges like can give my actions. i hope i really hope that i don't receive the death penalty so that they can go on to maybe help rebuild because there's going to be a lot of help needed. and so many more will be done for you. and if we ever say, and if you are 33 times in england, our, it's one our civil medical, 2. if i get through this and i'm still alive, i'm going to chance it's on, you know, it's, it's for me, it's the short and sad story of the lads army, a bunch of guys who wanted an excuse to, could go and shoot and kill without consequences. which they apparently did for years and then multiple was and suddenly faced with

a death penalty. after all this cobb, they're sorry, and they should have known better me. molly ganske, official. sally's 3 civilians have been killed when the ukranian army shelter town and the republic a local stadium was engulfed in flames as a result of the attack. the shell inc mostly hit residential areas, vital infrastructure including a gas pipeline. several times were also heavily damaged or completely destroyed, and these 2 civilians have been injured. as yelling comes the day after moscow said that 97 percent of the la guns republics territory is now under the control of russian lead forces. meanwhile, ukraine's president says that the future of the battle for dumbass is being decided in the city of severity on yet square. some of the heaviest fighting is now ongoing . thousands of ukrainian troops, i said to be at risk of being encircled there as russian lead forces push on with their advance from the north and south as his equal shed on our reports from the key town of pass naya,

which has been devastated by relentless battles citizens of this little town against people's republic, they had to walk through hell via the town is no more. those piles of concrete burnt houses, burns apartment blocks all over the place. it won't be soon when the life will spring again. here this is murray. you bow in miniature, but unlike its big city brother, the town partner has had it worse. and this is what happens to cities, towns, and villages that the ukrainian forces refused to leave. for example, this little village of papa now theyve, as they fought for every apartment block for every building as they well set up their firing positions on top of well buildings like this. there was no other choice but to well raised the place to the ground. it's been a month since the ukrainians fled from this place yet there's nary

a trace of peace here. only desolation and endless columns of tanks, artillery and other military vehicles of all sorts. key of through all it had to defend the strategically crucial town. every house was a fortress, every street, a front line. now it's a key launch bad for the russians, and the la ganske people's republics militia who are trying to push the battles away from this impaired place. even in the city of marie opa, which is battered by the war, we did see some signs of civilian life. i 1st saw people very cautiously, cruel out of the basement. then we saw the public transport. nothing like that here in the little village of papa. now not a single civilians all in the street. just bangs of artillery fire and a heavy smell of gunpowder in the air makers done a reporting from the la guns people's republic. r. t. western hostility towards russia have been a thing for more than a century. thus,

according to the syrian president, bashar al assad, he's given an exclusive entity to r t. and he can watch it in full on friday on our channel and website for now. his equip, pretty blue sky lease leaseholder. russia is serious ally and rushes facing a war, which in my view is not linked to the expansion of nato. as some people may think, this animosity has existed even before communism and the 1st world war. it is an ongoing war and russia plays an important role to ensure an international equilibrium exists. so we can view russia from 2 perspectives. the 1st is that of an ally, if our ally triumphs in the battle, or if their political position is strengthened on the international arena, then this is a win for us as well. from a 2nd perspective, russia's power today constitutes a restoration. al, bite partial of an international equilibrium. this re balance that we are witnessing will impact smaller countries, including syria. this is my strategic view,

the bottom line without going into other legal aspects. i could go to who would i love doing that as well? and it'll make us have slammed the u. s. cherry picking for the summit of the americas as a legal, discriminatory and offensive. as off there, washington refused to invite cuba, venezuela and nicaragua, to venezuela, and say caracas will not bend to us pressure. well, joe biden claims the summit is all about promoting democracy or an american democratic charter which grew out of the 3rd. shoving of the americas captures our unique commitment to democracy as a region. it affirms the right of people throughout the americas to democracy and our obligation as government to promote and defend democracy logging on those of you, but the government of the united states wants to give us instructions at the meeting in los angeles. well, mr. biden, we tell you from here from the national assembly that we are not going to receive instructions from you. we tell you that we are going to develop all the policies we

can put forward and protest. several latin america leaders have sent only their lower level diplomats to the summit. the absence of the presidents of honduras, mexico, and guatemala is said to be a blow to the u. s. intention to establish dominance in the region. questions have been raised, not only about the events attendees lists, but even on biden's own, very, very, and legitimacy empower with that concern brought up by brazil's leader washington's top diplomat responded to the criticism of not inviting the 3 countries by blaming them for lack of free speech well, you know, they go to the administration or maybe guy and he's, today's young is to rally for says in the they are larger g o 40 because it's keen . i've seen a she had by then has not got dish and then they kind of need to be met in the re young. there are several other countries with the not that that the meeting or friend,

2nd leg representation on the is your let me tell you the c name 9th is sun meet. so we have being listening only to studies from 1994 and nothing has changed. the u. s. not has any gotten but the radio to develop to progress up to become a developing countries. so these are or show the dog. ok, in which is nothing will really be the sort of what i want to do this why that is completely out of this is why the out of calling to these meet being we teach a complete stranger by now they may tell you around seeing the new york time today doesn't even mention one line of the some of the got on you got the little shonda this time, which is the local newspaper and it gives you any way about that need being so

that meeting is absolutely irrelevant. just stop by run with will render no fruits while the west tries to pin the blame for illumine global food crisis on russia. western countries are scrambling to restrict the massive amounts of food that they retail as throwing away on a daily basis following italy and song. spain is mulling over a draft bit with the limit how much food is being binned by supermarkets and restaurants. the measures are stopping the loss of some one trillion dollars worth of projects per year, which could be an to feed up to $2000000000.00 people, double the number of those experiencing food insecurity around the world. the global leader in the, in food waste is the u. s, which does cost more than $40.00 nearly $40000000.00 tons every year, which is an estimated one 3rd of the total american food supply. let's now cross to know how else shake professor of political science at kyra university and

a member of the egyptian council for foreign affairs. she's also an expert at the val. are discussion club. many thanks for joining us on the program. so was your reaction to the staggering numbers and the western attempts to blame russia for a global through crisis. so i didn't hear the question, can you repeat? i just like to know what's your reaction to these numbers? i've actually heard, but we moved to from just to hunger problem, which is also a very critical along to hunger or famine. crisis maybe included 2000000000 people as you mention. so it does, harper, for us in the south rule, who are already suffering from hunger from famine in many places. just tell us how bad is the global food shortage right now and do you think the

wealthiest countries in the world are doing enough to help others? i think old countries rich and poor in europe and in the united states itself, of course, in africa and asia and latin america, the whole war is facing a great challenge. and the great crisis that price is actually created by the sanctions of the west. so i think the with show doing it so rule building such as i sanctions, we need to have one boys and one stand all to get that particularly the award order. i was blow again, this to what's is going from the north, which already became global crisis. we will own suffering now and we will suffer more and more in the near future in few weeks and months if we are not

moving quickly. and this is it really to lift that the sanctions and to get to a normal situation. russia is very important as, as a global supplier for, for brains and for energy. no one can overcome that. and yes, we did a lot to help each other, but we cannot afford, what is russia is doing. and no one can fulfill the gap that left by rush. what was your take on the prospects of this global food crisis? how much was do you think i could get? it will be horrible. i think millions of people will die. and the whole global economy will be recreated and we will, we will face all

a very dramatic and the tragedy of all that. it not too much worse than the 1st world war or 2nd world war. and it is very critical and need a solidarity and need one voice to change it on one hand to change a. do you think that a measures to combat they are wasting a food in some western countries will be enough. i think the waste is responsible totally for what is going on and that's why we need a strong voice again as to what the western countries is doing. western people also showed a great effort in that because they are suffering now and will suffer more and more like us. not maybe different degrees, but the will suffer also. so whole people in north and south should cooperate

together and to have one voice to go by way or another listing that sanctioned as soon as possible. otherwise, we are going to are these us, the whole group are going to just give us a, give us a, took us what measures are already being taken to help people in need and, and how effective you think those measures have been so far a so example in egypt, we are trying to our moving or dramatically to solve sufficient, but you know, egypt for example, is the greatest and biggest exporter for grains and the whole world. so whatever we are doing, we will not be able to fulfill the gap. so, and it takes years and maybe we will not be able to fully self sufficient in near future and maybe in our future. and that's why in egypt and is aware that hunger our,

that the family and mail it to your ticket in the stability and europe. united states is not far from that blast that gave. ringback vitamin for furnishing that tourism, so we are all insecure, not only insecure in food, but with different meaning of insecurity. actually security is indivisible. it is either to have security, all of us as a glow food and different aspects of security. and we will not be own will not be safe and insecure. no. allow shake professor our political science at cairo university. many thanks for your time. me appreciate it. thank you. thanks. ah, me more unicef say severe drought and, and lack of international funding. not just a shortage of russian and ukrainian grain are to blame for african children suffering in countries such as somalia. the you and international children's emergency fund is hurting the world to redirect its attention from ukraine to other

crises. if the world does not widen its gaze from the war in ukraine, an act immediately, an explosion of child death is about to happen in the horn of africa. across ethiopia, kenya, and somalia. more than 17000000 children are in urgent need of treatment for severe acute malnutrition. according to unicef, almost $400000.00 children in somalia and now in desperate need of treatment for a deadly form of malnutrition, a 15 percent increase in recent months since last year. some african countries have recorded a vast rise in severely malnourished children needing help in particular, kenya, when numbers have gone up by 71 percent. the situation has been aggravated by the continents worse drought in 50 years, leaving more and more people in urgent need of food and medicine and clean water. we discussed the issue earlier with several experts. she 7 nations have never shown themselves to, to, to be pro africa, you know, never shown themselves to our history,

to protect fundable children. if you look at, if you look at history, you've got to have been in libya. what happened in the out? what's happening in palestine on a daily basis, avoid leaders, especially those of the where and especially those live g 7. if they really came about the people, the god, they really kid about people worldwide. you know, they would have their own agendas. another focus on you may detailed issues or focus on church issues or focus on the, on the main issues that speak to the men on the ground. you know, so i think the situation now is bad about pushing their own agenda to build on k as in africa. you know, for a very long time s guys has been seen as a place where you just come and see whatever was in leave without terry about what happens, you know, i mean, if you got cars that can constant, this will be nice mailing companies just come especially many companies on the way it just come take, we saw the need, you know, and leave those communities in the roads without any, without any infrastructure,

you know, for the same as being german literacy. never being people did a equivalent demo equal to the i think, given the situation that at this could be the effects of climate change. and now we know that it will rain will not come and the cropping system will not be there. this is going to be very serious because without the crops growing the crops in the, on the ground in somalia and other regions in east africa. this situation will be less because that will call for intervention from outside. if a country cannot be able to grow crops because of the effects of climate change, drought, or no rain, then the situation is fair for seem to be very serious. crimes form a human rights commissioner lou jamila denise of a has admitted she over did it. and her claims of sexual abuse of ukrainians by

russian troops which even the ukrainian public found locked sufficient evidence. maybe i over did it, but i was trying to achieve the goal of convincing the world to provide weapons and put pressure on russia. those wicked 8th of i was fired from her post for spreading unverified information with ukranian lawmakers, claiming that her actions only served to tarnish the country's image. however, she was sacked off to her statements had already made headlines that went viral and mainstream western media. russia has repeatedly denied allegations of sexual abuse by its soldiers. human rights attorney duncan, val, it says there was a reason for such fabrications. well, obviously, you know, ah, anyone asked to be concerned about, you know, claims of sexual violence. or at the same time, you know, within the last couple weeks, a ukraine fired their own human rights of budman. because she was

lying about russian herb sexual violence in ukraine. she was our chief babel fabricating stories about it. and these were the main stories were we were hearing that we're generating our claims of a mass rapes by the russian. nevertheless, a recent he went security council discussion once again saw a flow of accusations against russia, even though a un special representative on sexual violence in conflict had admitted that such claims were almost impossible to verify. many allegations of conflict related sexual violence or difficult if not impossible to verify, making it challenging to assess violence. as a 3rd of june, the human rights monitoring team of the united nations high commissioner for human rights has received reports of 124 allot, acts of conflict related sexual violence. verification of cases is few ongoing.

among the ukrainian territories where conflicts related sexual abuse was reported where regions of hundreds of kilometers from the front lines far away from any of the russian troops engaged in combat in east, in ukraine. and don bass. human rights attorney down catholic again, shares his concerns that perhaps ukrainians themselves were involved in those alleged to pieces. first of all, we have to be very careful because there's a lot of um, false stories circulating. the other thing that struck me at least as far as i could tell, is that the claims now being made to the security council about sexual violence are happening in places where the ukrainian military is in control. so that makes me wonder whether it's in fact the ukrainian army that might be engaged in this violence. thanks for joining us here in arte international. we're

back in the top of the hour with more oh a 4th. inpatient. yes. with that you for that? ah, i my name is frank from origin philadelphia got in the move in any age,
