d, a with, as in joe biden, blames vladimir putin for the highest inflation in the us in more than 4 decades of u. s. sentences. it abided administration itself. the comp deal with the crisis. one talk and close the door. and in that moment there was an explosion just one minutes later and all alive it would have been so different. 19 civilians die and dozens of wounded in dom boss in the latest ukrainian army shelling that's according to local authorities. also coming up on the program, china claims the us almost package to taiwan undermines piece in the region and threatens all out war. if the island declares independence

with go to the world, this is on the international i and peter scott, and he's the top stories this hour with us consumer inflation hitting his highest level in more than 4 decades. an 8.6 percent increase. present. joe biden has once again blamed buddy made putin for a surgeon, energy and few costs are currently rocking america. days of race report, confirm what america's already know. prudent price, i can city in america hard gas prices at the pump. energy and food prices come for half of the monthly price increases. since may my strategy going to do everything we can to lower the prices in american people. and the congress has the acting. they have men of buttons, comments, comb, despite us inflation rising sharply since he's too big on in january 2021. sewing

from an average of 1.4 percent in december 2027 percent in december 2021. nice, 2 months before the war in ukraine begun, and despite by insulting his offices efforts to deal with a problem, us senate, the john kennedy says it looks like the administration has given up its destroying the american dream. and we have to address that in which to main, like a bad administration has just given up well biden's comments come liquefied natural gas prices, also skyrockets in the us after an explosion as an export terminal in texas, which i've been sending the fuel over to. busy europe over prices for the fuel in the us have since gone down, and as more of the energy is now expected to be used domestically, instead of going abroad. literally at washington said it would help europe reduce its dependence on washing dust import. the texas fund shut down will allow for by 8 percent, which would further threaten europe's energy security. most of the fuel for that

had been shipped to the u. r. u. s. corresponding kellum up and picks up the story . well, it was in freeport, texas residents heard 3 very loud bangs. and essentially what they were hearing was a liquefied natural gas terminal exploding. now this explosion has been widely decried as an indicator of the possible threats of public health fumes. but it's also going to have a pretty big impact on the international markets. we've heard analysis about the ability of the united states to import and export natural gas about the crisis and the rising costs. here's some of what we've heard in the aftermath of this dramatic explosion in texas. this is going to take supply out of the market when it's badly needed. we were already moving into a very precarious set of market dynamics. this is going to tighten prompts to play, particularly in the atlantic as a majority of the cargoes have been destined for europe. so it's important to note

that as a result of this explosion, the l. n g hub in freeport, texas is going to be shut down for 3 weeks, 3 weeks. it will not be operating in the aftermath of this rather large explosion. in addition to that 20 percent of all us natural gas exports are going to be affected by the explosion that took place and the shutting down of the hub. in addition to that, it's also important to point out that 75 percent of u. s. natural gas experts have been going to europe now. there has been some relief for domestic natural gas perfect purchasers in the united states. because the fact that biden instituted some action and basically required domestic producers to give priority to the u. s. market before exporting that resulted in price is going down in the united states, but it had a negative effect on the international markets and basically forest, the european markets to, to pick up the bird. and now we have a situation where we have countries in the u saying they want to completely go off

of russian gas. they went completely shut down russian gas. but now, as the aftermath of this explosion showing their confidence in american markets and the ability of the united states to supply gas to europe is a little bit shaken. europe is seeing a rise in its natural gas prices. and at this point, the ability of europe to import natural gas from the united states is at this point in a little bit of question. now there's explosion, and the impact it's having on the global market seems to fly in the face of a lot of what joe biden and other u. s. leaders have said over the past few months, reassuring everyone that america has enough gas to supply the world. we're moving forward is ban, understanding that many of our european allies and partners may not be in a position to join us. the united states produces far more oral domestically than all of your print count, all the countries combined. in fact, we're a net exporter of energy so we can take this step when others cannot. but we're

working closely with europe and our partners to develop a long term strategy to reduce their dependence on russian energy as well. first of all, we are looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash energy from russia. we're on your way of trying to how see what we can do to do that. do dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we can make up a significant portion of it. now if the situation is really as dark as some of the pessimistic forecasts we're currently seeing from analysts, then this will be a major blow to the ability of europe to import natural gas from the united states . people look at what was done by finland and that recent 10 year contract that they signed in order to win off of russian gas and import american gas for the next 10 years. able or wandering at that decision made by finland was a bit to

a state law. incense fighting continues on the front lines. don bus region dun yeske and lou ganske officials accused ukraine, an army of shilling, residential areas of cities. across those republics, 19 civilians died and 23 have been wounded as result of the latest shelling of a number of done yet. scandal done cities that is according to local authorities. the don't boss forces claim key of is using western made heavy weapons to attack civilians. we spoke some locals who witnessed the showing look mother, you see what this is? yeah. i was sitting near the window the balcony door. was he jar? there was a bank on the wall and part of the balcony collapsed. just one room was damaged. evan l state intake. i've heard one explosion today, but continuous shooting. i was scared you were, but even though they were shooting all day, i didn't think i'd behavior really any other project tile flew into the hole and then flew out and into the bedroom. we went out and close the door. and in that

beaumont, there was an explosion just one minute later and our lives would have been so different just one minute. and as for our child, yes, all babies just 3 years old. meanwhile, the done yes. for city of murder, you pull, which was recently taken by russian under its allies. reconstruction is underway with photo russian emergency services personnel who are currently working in the city this year. but it's a beautiful, vulnerable. we started work in the city immediately after the end of the hostilities, as russian and no net sick emergency services began to perform their duties. the city gradually began to come back to life. little. we also have a large group of sappers who diffuse mind, buildings, ukrainian troops, mind everything here as they were retreat it was then yes, calling. this is a school building. it is almost completely destroyed. a group of ukrainian military were here, so we found equipment, personal belongings, weapons, and a case from a night vision device me. on sunday ortiz documention, the siege of murder,

you pull will be released in which witnesses to the seed share some of the harrowing experiences. here's a quick teaser. ah, you with a, with a, a a to see you. soon with

did president followed him? is there. lensky has praised london's assistance took here during the ukrainian war us as british defense, secretary ben wallace arrived in the capital to discuss the urgent needs of ukraine's troops during the trip. zelinski once again emphasize the importance of the west, supplying heavy weapons. for greens keep school, the roblis sam, ukrainian troops are doing everything they can using the artillery. they have to stop the occupiers offense as well as much as the heavy weapons in modern artillery . all that we have asked and continue to ask our partners to provide allow them to this up with i have met the u. k. secretary of state for defense, ben wallen, we discussed how to stop russian aggression and how to stop in mounting a potential offense. and what supplies are needed for our army. the british show true leadership in defense matters is written now confirmed the donation of long range multiple rocket systems. that's in addition to thousands of anti tank missiles, ahmed vehicles,

and defense systems that ukraine's military intelligence has recently said that the country's troops have almost went up to the munition and now rely on the wedding supplies version on bus of the to the u. k. andre kellen says putting money on arms and ukraine will only prolong the conflict for a long gates that it makes ukraine. and so just continue the fight. and it is a senior, i should say because, but it is providing money not much, but it is. it is providing web on enforces cottages, in the army, to continue funding, and no single knowledge about or sickly about the future. or if you agree, what's going to happen after that? it's an interesting question. whether you will be interested after one in the building you're putting in continuing voting can run it to the sort of this in key if that brought to me of that in the future in,

in building up the country and handling countries. economy once again in doing something. so i'm afraid the interest will be lost in some, some sort of if, if there will be a letter to continue to make such a project as an international to start out international space. and it will be a no more capabilities and no more should be able to do that. then most will probably it will be alyssa interest at the moment. i think that they're preventing any kind of warning in safety for negotiation before they will. they are continuing to to push your grade in these along the same way to continue white thing, not to think about diffusion. as i have said, the more military aid ukraine receives from the west, the more will defense giants continue to earn. here you can see how the prices of

some defense giants have risen as investors anticipate increasing profits. u. s. contractor ero vironment is expected to be one of the biggest beneficiaries along with you are being companies. ryan metal and lia nato shows the risen by 120 and 67 percent respectively. scott, ritz, a former marine corps intelligence officer, believes western weapon supplies won't change the outcome of the conflict. the need, the situation is the period of the best the supply of western arms can do is reduce the rate of your ation. it will never reverse the outcome of no amount of web western weaponry will enable ukraine to gain the upper hand. all it will do is length into conflict and more importantly, from the western perspective, kill more russians because that's all this is about. we heard that from voice austin, the american secretary defense. you said that the goal here is to make russia pay a cost to inflict aim on russia. that means dead russians. and so that's what the

west is trying to accomplish here. and it's very cynical because it's not just russians that are dying, as we said, for every one russian to goes down, you know, maybe 20 ukrainians are going down. so it's about dead ukrainians as well. maybe it's time ukraine wakes up and understands that the west is seeking to extend this conflict to help your brain, but to hurt russia. that's drawing your brain in the process. meanwhile, a recent intelligence report by both kiev and west and officials reveals that ukrainian ships are facing the stream losses, which is raise the question as to why you queens man is still appeared to be reluctant to negotiate with the russian side. the intelligence officials say that russia's military maintains, deal behind with 40 times more ammunition and 20 times more artillery than ukrainian forces. more than $5600.00 ukrainian ships are said to be prisoners of war. nearly half of them having surrendered at the upstart steel punch him out, you will give his also believe to be facing

a growing desertion problem. ukraine's top officials, though still strongly oppose any possibility of surrender. scotland again says the war is becoming unsustainable for ukraine. and then say, start fighting, you know, the wars are, you know, you have ratios of one, the 1.21 to 1.3 casualties. you can grind that out, but eventually you're going to get a culminating point where the, the differential just goes up exponentially. and we're at that point right now, which it's no longer for every one russian. there's 3 claim casualties. it's world for everyone. russian, there's 20 ukraine casualties. and as the situation to tell you further on the front, this ratio is just going to, in your, to spin out of troll until it's unsustainable by the payments. the question is, how much pain is ukraine able to absorb? you know, their, their ministry of defense said they have 700000 men under arms right now. so what percentage of that, are they willing to sacrifice before it becomes obvious that not only can they not

win this conflict, but the longer they continue to resist of the larger the humanity, the cost in human lives will be a territorial, a loss as well or rushes, the foreign minister claims the europe is making all the wrong news when it comes to negotiations with moscow. but, but even as always, we are open to dialogue, but it takes 2 to tango. and at the moment, our western partners are engaged in break dancing by themselves. so the level of statement comes up, the polish president slammed the leaders of france and germany over their phone calls with the russian president vladimir putin. as are these area, frank explains. in response to how the polish president blamed the german and the french leadership for dealing with the russian government. foreign minister surgery, la rob, accused him of a growing historical ignorance and also pointed at poland own moves

against ukraine's sovereignty. the government image. so you're through, it's perhaps they should be advised to study history, their own history, and those events that underlie polish history. so far, we see that behind the talk about the in admissibility of any dialogue with russia polish colleagues are beginning to actively assimilate ukrainian territory. and then the decisions by presidents zalinski and the ukranian government on the special rights of the poles who are essentially being made equal to the ukrainians in everything except the right to vote. just to give you some background a little earlier this week or the polish liter went as far as drawing parallels between vladimir putin and adult hitler. and also pretty much coal on the entire international community to forget any ideas of trying to make contact with

the russian officials of to parentheses. yes, them them. yeah, i am amazed at all these conversations that chancellor shows in president micron are having with putting these conversations are useless. what are they doing? they legitimize the person responsible for the crimes committed by the russian army . he is responsible for this. she decided to send troops there. what if some one spoke like this to adolf hitler during world war 2? did anyone say that adolf hitler must say face that we should proceed in such a way that it is not humiliating? for adolf hitler, i have not heard such voices in response to my question about these latest comments by polish president duda, the russian foreign minister, sir gay lab. rob reminded how the likes of germany and france and also other you countries were always in favor of leaving door open for talks with russia and stress that moscow is always ready for talks. no matter what the russian viewpoint is. that diplomacy should always have a chance. however, in the current circumstances, when all western leaders keep talking about is isolating russia,

this scenario doesn't seem very likely author and journalist thomas roper share his thoughts on the issue. poland is one of the real hawks in europe, which wants to escalate the situation and having in mind how poland is now trying well, maybe you can call it next parts of ukraine when you treat it with poland has an interest in escalating the situation. when i put all this together, i have the feeling that russia doesn't really take europe, european union, and the states for serious anymore. they are really just for filling commands from, from the u. s. and from my feeling just russia right now on the stands and says, quite openly, when there's something to discuss, we have to discuss with people who make the decisions and they're not in brussels. they had washed. meanwhile, a suspected slip up in a mainstream of news article has shown a local residence of ukraine city of kirk,

of with a large tattoo of a swastika on his arm about voices for a comment, but still not yet received our response. the photo appears to undermine some western dias off all rights i to see in ukraine some social media uses on. i can now question how big the issue of nationalists is in the country. do you think western media would have learned to come through every picture from ukraine? they consider posting to make sure there isn't any swastikas or other nazi symbolism. big swastika tattooed on his arm? yup. for sure there are no nazis in ukraine. how hard can it be to take a picture of a random person and not have them with a swastika tattoo? i was 4 times in the bus and i have seen always myself. i was to be headquarters of the last battalion. there is no doubt that this country is ruled by people with was really not see ideology. and this is also in the, in the command of the, of the 4 forces. the western media doesn't want to see it when you report. this is fake news, but i've been there, i've seen it. so we have,

we have to ask western media why they denied that. but, but it's obvious. while the west accuses, will show of bringing about a global few crises. some african states have joined moscow's position, encountering the western concepts of the unipolar world. that's according to the top russian senate constantine causes jeff, who's given us an exclusive interview. going to continue the african continent to the space of very dynamic development. and beyond any doubt, a space that attracts geopolitical interests from all of the points of the globe. now, during our visit to mozambique and symbolic way, we have been convinced that russia is still high on the list of priorities of african countries. most african countries share rushing approaches of disagreement with the western concept of the unipolar world, with the same african countries and countries from other geographical regions, including russia, will find themselves in the position of a secondary subordinate to the interests of the west. there is

a willingness between the states to establish cooperation in order to develop alternative models of the world today, not pulling over the blanket, but ensuring the all states the equally comfortable in the future model of the world order with you in african countries, they are obviously worried about what is happening in agricultural markets now, and there's 2 dimensions to these concerns. the 1st is a violation of the current logistic supplies of the grain, for example, to foreign markets from ukraine, russia. it is clear that now there is enough grain. the problem is to deliver it from the manufacturer to the consumer. there is also a 2nd plan. this is the upcoming harvest. many of our african interlocutors have express concern due to the fact that fertilizer prices have sharply increased. there will be fear of them introduced into the saw this year than required, which means that next year, in addition to disrupting logistics trains, many states expect crop failures in africa. now, they are certainly not expecting any concessions from russia in its position on

ukraine. for example, russia is now expected to make the site's progress in order to defend the interest of the whole world. so the food energy, military security isn't short, we look for a fleet near it. so it's a thought for the last 500 to 600 years. history has been marked by attempts by the west to impose its will on the whole world for quite a long time. the west is able to do this for the simple reason that it was more competitive. the 20th century radically changed the situation because the west was not as competitive anymore. the west began to impose its leading positions by force . the west is beginning to consistently pull down its competitors by creating problems in that development has clearly seen in the example of our country in the example of any of the states that do not agree to be loyal to the west the model. finally, china's defense minister had slammed his american counterpart following use of the latest us almost package for ty, one warning of

a possible conflicts over the island, the blazing claims of his own. if anyone dares to split taiwan from china, the chinese military has no choice but to fight at all costs and take all necessary measures to crush any attempt by ty, when the separatists to split taiwan from the motherland. the chinese military will resolutely safe guard national security and territorial integrity. the chinese defense ministers also laid out a list of conditions. the u. s. must meet easing tensions, including not interfering in china, internal affairs, all having china's interests. an anti once splits during the civil war, back in 1949, and china has been following the one china policy since then. the latest on this package sees the u. s. provide parts for taiwanese naval ships as an estimated cost of $120000000.00. that was to be known as pipelines, main ally, and his compensation with china. for some time. we spoke to nelson wong, the vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies, and van dyke from experts. and he says,

the u. s. is using taiwan as its trump card against china. i think the u. s. government has always been using the tie one issue as it's one of the measures to contain china in its relations, which china, taiwan, the pie, one card is always in their hands to play with from time to time. and i think this is they believe this is the time to create trouble for china to, to mess around with the internal affairs of china. so it's nothing new, it's nothing new to china. but if they play it too hard, i think the chinese government would take some actions and in terms of any upcoming threat to separate to taiwan from the motherland. and then the chinese government is going to take actions and announcement has already been made. what china has been expressing itself quite clearly over the years over the

decades is that this is an internal affairs of china. and taiwan issue is a left over issue from china's civil war way back when and the international committee has all recognized the one china policy, even including the united states government. it has also recognized the one china policy. so based on this understanding, china, it's government has always been trying to seek a national re unifications through peaceful pokes. well, that's how the world is looking at $626.00. am this saturday morning for more on any of those toys? do head over to r t dot com on his peter scott's on the back with another look at all the world stories in just over 30 minutes time. thank you.

ah, ah. ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with ah no one, no, no, no, no, no. what the most of the location. ah unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known.

real to production. but it will show enough people to build on it. so new living keep on moved to new mazda thought this new, you know, the more new and i got the sale. i don't understand. i wish to know exactly who he didn't want to know. i had a little cold weather and all you can, i was nice little to do. you want to share my new i isn't more more. you're not

going to give us i don't nickel shadeen and you are welcome to a new edition of anatomy. are coming from the syrian capital democracy with an interview with syrian president bashar said mister president, welcome to our team. and thank you for seating us on nothing other than you are welcome in damascus, syria. if you do much. thank you very much mister president with the most prominent issue in the international arena. and it was a lesson from our viewers on arabic retina. tom, why has damascus supported the russian special military operation? ukraine? i last the there are several reasons. first, russia is, syria is allied, and russia is facing a war which in my view is not linked to the expansion of nato. as some people may think who feel 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.
