[000:00:00;00] ah ah, you are a supposed enjo bought in blames a bloody man through thin for the highest inflation in the us more than 4 decades by us. senator says it's the body administration itself that can't handle the crisis. graham talk to him to lose your door. and in that phone went, there was an explosion here just one later and all along with different 19 civilians die and dozens are wounded in don't boss in the latest ukrainian army, shelly enough, according to local authorities fund. china claims a u. s. all package to taiwan undermines peace in the region and threatens all our

war. if the island declares independence, i must go to the world. this is all the international line pizza. scott, these, the top stories. this our with us consumer inflation hits in his highest level more than 4 decades and a point 6 percent increase. president biden has once again blamed vladimir putin for surge and energy, and few costs is currently rocking america. days of race report, confirm what america's already know. prudent price, i consider in america hard gas prices at the pump. energy and food prices account for half of the monthly price increases. since may, my administration continue, everything we can to lower the price is the american people. and the congress has to act as they have been of late. biden's commons come despite us inflation rising sharply since his term began in january 2021 soaring from an average of 1.4 percent

in december, 2020 to 70 percent in december 2021. that's 2 months before the war, new crane begun. and despite biden's housing, his offices efforts to deal with a problem, you s senator john kennedy says it looks like the administration is simply given up . it's destroying the american dream. and, and that way we have to address it, which to me like a bad administration, has just given up biden's comments, comas liquefied natural gas prices, also skyrockets. in the us. often explosion is an export terminal over in texas, which have been sending the fuel to europe. both prices for the fuel in the us have actually gone down since then as more of the l. n. g is not expected to be used domestically. instead of going abroad earlier, washington said it would help europe to reduce is dependence on rushing gas import, texas. bunch of don't. will cost is helpful by around 8 percent, which could for the threats in europe's energy security. most of the fuel from that

terminal had been shipped to the u. r. u. s. corresponding kelly, molten pixel, the story? well, it was there to report taxes, residents for 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 prompt supply, 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 to shutting down of the hub. in addition to that, it's also important to point out that 75 percent of less natural gas exports 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 get priority to the us 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're completely shut down russian gas. but now as the aftermath of this explosion is 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 has been 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 their way of trying to how see what we can do to do that dealing with our is 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 the next 10 years. we were wondering if that decision made by finland was a bit to

a stick while incense fighting continues on the front lines of the don bus region done yet. under guns officials accused ukrainian army of shutting residential areas of cities across republics. 19 civilians died and 23 have been wounded as a result of the latest shelling of a number of done yet under gun cities. that is, according to local authorities. somebody forces claim the key of is using western made heavy weapons in those attacks. we spoke to some local to witness to showing mother you see what they can do? well, i was sitting near the window on the balcony door was a job. there was a bank on the wall and part of the balcony. a lot. just one room was damaged in our interview. i've heard my next solution today, but continue shooting until i was here. look you with the but even though they were shooting all day, a project tile flooring to the home and then flew all it out into the bedroom,

your one time and close the door. and in that moment there was an explosion at just one military time. yeah, and our lives would have been so different than just one minute. and that's for all child. yes. oh baby, just 3 years. so sure. meanwhile, in the ds, port city of murray, you pull, which was recently taken by russian forces under the allies reconstruction is underway. we supposed to russian emergency services personnel who are currently working in the city is received, but it's a beautiful, vulnerable thing. we started work in the city immediately after the end of the hostility level portal as russian and are network emergency services began to perform their duties for the city gradually began to come back to light a little notice. but we also have a large group of sappers who diffuse mind, buildings, ukrainian troops, mind everything here as they were, retreated a little was then you're calling. this is a school building. it is almost completely destroying us for a group of ukrainian military. we're here store, we found equipment, personal belongings, weapons and a case from a night vision device,

new issue or on sunday, our teeth documentary on the siege of maria paul will be released and in its witnesses share some of their her own experiences that so placed her in a siege. here's a quick teaser. ah, you with my name of the guy leonor trucks come from me. my do you remember? i know that you follow truth. i knew probably charlotte 1st floor. there are 330 of the one up with newton. not to do is you're gonna question get with him machine and actually the shuttle will get rid of this unit. i don't know, it was kind of the math related to see you soon enough. exactly. pretty witness. i

believe i spoke to you. it was going to be for the youth president followed him is zelinski, has praised london's assistance took care of during the ukrainian war. as his british defense, extra ben wallace arrived in the capital to discuss the urgent needs of ukraine's troops. and during the trib, zalinski once again emphasized the importance of the west, flying heavy weapons krinski school. the problem sam, sub ukrainian troops are doing everything they can using the artillery. they have to drop the occupiers, as well as much as the heavy weapons and modern artillery and all that and continued to ask our partners to provide, allow them to separate. i have met the machine secretary a while mobile and we discuss how this rushing and how to stop and mal going attention. events and what supplies are needed or our arm ration. the british troops, leadership mental matter and all,

but can tell without confirmed the donation of long range multiple rocket systems. that's in addition to the thousands of missiles on the vehicles on defense system, it's already supplied. we had of ukraine's military intelligence, as recently said that the countries troops not almost were not that musicians and now rely on western supplies. there were some but the you k andre kellen says the pouring money and arms into crane will only prolong the conflict. it's put along gates because it makes you green and so just continue fight. and it is a cynical i said, because it is providing money not much, but it is. it is providing weapons and in forces cottages, in the army, to continue funding, and no single knowledge about or seagly about the future or few great, what's going to happen after that? it's an interesting question. whether you will be interested after one particular

in the building you're putting in continuing voting money to sort of this in key. if that brought to me that an efficient in building up the country and they're 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 spike out of your brain and then traditional state. and it will be a no more religious and no more or should be able to do that than most probably it will be less interest at the moment. i think that there preventing any kind of war and safety for negotiation. finally, they will, they are continuing to to push ukraine in these along the same way to continue to think about the future. as i have said,

are the more military you can receive on the west, the more will defense giants continue to earn. here you can see how the share 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 european companies. ryan miss allan leonardo, who shared vision by a 120 and 67 percent, respectively. scott, with the former marine corps intelligence officer, believes that western weapon supplies won't change the outcome of the conflict. the, the, the situation is the period of the best the supply of western arms to do is reduce the rate of deterioration. 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 void austin,

the american secretary to thread. 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, di, 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 that to help you frame, but to her russia that's drawing you frame in the process. meanwhile, a recent intelligence support by both kids and west and officials reveals that ukrainian troops are facing significant losses, which does raise the question as to why ukraine's commanders still seem reluctant to negotiate. with the russian side. the intelligence officials say that russia's military maintains the upper hand 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 and nearly half of them having surrendered at the as of style a steel factory multiple kids also believed to be facing a growing desertion problem. you can stop officials, those still strongly oppose any possibility of surrender. scott ritter again says the war is becoming unsustainable for ukraine. been say start fighting, you know the wars are, you have ratios of one to 1.211.3 casualties. and you can grow that out, but eventually you're going to get accommodating point where the, the differential it goes up exponentially. and we're at that point right now it's, it's no longer for everyone. russian, there's 3 clean casualties. it's more like rim one russian, there's 20 ukraine casualties. and as the situation to period further on the front, this ratio is just going to, in your, to spin out 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. ok. 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 loss as well. which is foreign minister says that europe is making all the wrong moves when it comes to negotiations with moscow. move up even as always we are open to dialogue, but it takes 2 to tango and at the moment come with our western partners are engaged in break dancing by themselves. with our comments by said gay lover of comes after the polish president slammed the leaders of france and germany over their phone calls with the russian president vladimir putin as our ts eliot. katrinka explains in response to how the polish president blamed the german and the

french leadership for dealing with the russian government. foreign minister surg elaborate accused him of a growing historical ignorance and also pointed at poland own moves against ukraine's sovereignty. my government in which sir through it's perhaps they should be advised to study history. so 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 issue. and then le decisions vice president zalinski and the ukranian government on these special rights. all the polls ladies who are essentially being made equal to the ukrainians in everything except the rights to vote russell, just to give you some background a little earlier this week, the polish leader 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 preempt are against them is w, i am amazed at all these conversations. the chancellor shoals in president micron are having, with these conversations are useless. what are they doing? they legitimize the person responsible for the crimes committed by the russian army . that he is responsible for this much. he decided to send troops there. what if someone spoke like this to adolf hitler during world war 2? did anyone say that adolf hitler must say face keep that we should proceed in such a way that it is not humiliating. for adolf hitler does have, 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

stressed 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 shared 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 annex parts of ukraine. when you treat you of key of 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 fulfilling commands from, from the u. s, and from my feeling just russia right now understands and says quite openly when there is something to discuss,

we have to discuss with the people who make the decisions and they're not in brussels. they're watching. meanwhile, a suspect to the slip or in a mainstream news article has shown a local residence of ukraine city of hark, of with a large tattoo of a swastika on his arm. now we have asked roy to to comment on that issue, but we are yet to receive a response. the photo does appear to undermine some western dials of for rights. i typically in ukraine, on some social media uses on our 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 not sees 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 all this myself. i was the headquarters of the as of a battalion. there is no doubt that this the country is ruled by people with,

with really nazi ideology. and this is also in the command of the, of the armed 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 away. they deny that. but, but it's obvious in or the news. chinese defense minister has slum and his american counterparts following use of the latest u. s. arms package for tie one warning of possible conflicts of the island, beijing claims as his own. if any one 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 taiwanese separatists to split taiwan from the motherland. the chinese military will resolutely safeguard national security and territorial integrity. chinese defense minister has also laid out a list of conditions. the u. s. must meet for easing tensions, including not interfering in china's internal affairs all harming china's interests . china and taiwan splits during

a civil war in 949 and the country has been following the one china policy ever since. then. the latest alms package sees the u. s. provides parts for taiwanese naval ships as estimated cost of a $120000000.00. washington has been known as ty, ones, main ally in its confrontation with china for some time. well area, we spoke to nelson, wong, vice chairman of the shanghai sense of international cities under val, di, club experts. and he says that the u. s. is using taiwan is it's true cod 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 will 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, its government has always been trying to seek a national re unification through peaceful posts and moving on. no algeria has frozen foreign trade in products and services with spain. nothing been an escalating dispute of the status of western sahara and announcement which was on thursday, came a day after the african nation suspended a 20 year old friendship treaty with spain, which committed the country to jointly controlling the mutual flow of migrants. the youth called on jimmy to reverse this decision with brussels urging dialogue to resolve the dispute. meanwhile, the spanish foreign ministers called for mutual respects between all countries in the region. well, that's another little for an equality of states and non interference in internal affairs. mutual respect that mutual benefit for our 2 countries. it is under these premises that we want to have the best relationship as possible without area,

like we have with the rest of our neighbors has explained with the former colonial power in western sahara. and so the area was unexplained morocco back in 1975. since then, i'll jerry a neighbor, morocco have had 10 discussions over the status of the region, the diplomatic standoff continued until 91. when the 2 countries reached an agreement for a referendum to be held on the implementation of a un bites buffer zone. but since that agreement, morocco has controlled the majority of western sahara spain backs morocco's autonomy plan for the region, while algeria opposes it and says, the region should be completely independence. ali and can so you a in official for a western sahara independence movement. the keys morocco of replacing spain as the colonial power in the region have taken a position, siding completely with the aggression fan of the colonial power. and everybody will fix,

fix spain to be an almost broker unto the solution. the causes pain in the end is the response of the entire process. model is have and definitely motto has substituted, and europe be and colonialism out of behavior in a classic colonial power. they have him baited western sahara since 1975. it was happening going on for many years between this people defending the free and independent their aggression model. and they all that a 100, some of the issue of supposed to been invitation movement during the entire history of the nation. enough they out of taken this position because of their, their own, his study, jerry, a father software, the british movement. and finally,

cash drops. pakistan is counting on chinese loans to help raise its foreign reserve within the, within the next few days. i assure you that by tuesday, next week, the issue of foreign exchange reserves will be resolved. as the expected $2400000000.00 of dollars will be transferred from china bar for ex reserves will reach $12000000000.00 of dollars. the country is facing a balance of payment crisis and that's caused by a growing decline informed current services, as well as a whitening account on fiscal deficit. that's along with the recall to your high inflation, which is mainly affecting prices of food and fuel. pakistan's also continue negotiations with the international monetary fund as the government hopes to resume payments on a 6000000000 dollar package load agreed back in 2019 and that was suspended due to non compliance with certain conditions. the current authorities, blame, ousted prime minister in my account for the crisis, which is an accusation. of course, he's always denied if the i m. f agreed to review is decision pakistan will then

receive $900000000.00, which will help access the source of external financing. pakistan's already fulfilled one of the funds requirements by removing fuel subsidies, move this lead to 40 percent growth in prices. the government also intends to raise taxes on the rich cook tax leaks. privatized government assets, unbound officials from buying cars, as it continues to struggle with spiraling costs on energy shortfalls. we spoke to a professor and research fellow who believes that i am f. negotiations have been severely hampered by difficulties in relations with the united states. it is very difficult for the current government to overcome these crisis, which is quite disturbing for the i'm a founder boss is why we are not reaching to what the us, you know, contributes at least 117000000000 to the i'm a quarter. and if i decide has to, you know, make a deal with the i am,

if it is very important for pakistan to have consent from the united states and have also the confidence that we are going to do the job that is expected from us. but so far, the problem that arose during the last is the fans administration, our bilateral relations with the united states, but really disturbed in the international monetary system. august sun is defended upon the flexible exchange rate international market in which it has just like any of the country it's thrown. see with the u. s. dollar, and any lacrisha mean the value of the us dollar is going to affect the entire currencies around the world. and focus on has to, you know, make reserves of the u. s. dollars. and if there is more macro level economic policies that is going to affect a positive leave, the pakistan economy august on reserves are going to get down. well, that's a rep for now. whatever you're up to this weekend, i hope you're having

a good one. my name is peter scotts and thank you very much for watching them. ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk with the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been trashed with a very modern weapon. canceled culture, really dash one look, will i will, sheffield my love so little and when you get just me sitting there, i know it with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture
