welcome to the weekly here on t international. my name is peter scott bringing you some of the stories that shape the week. but 1st, we'll start off with the latest from the war in ukraine. the denotes city center has been shown by ukrainian forces us according to local authorities. the instant left at least 2 civilians wounded on according to those reports, 50 rockets were fired. it's a heavily populated area in the next public's capital. several residential buildings were damaged with fires breaking out after the shelling at the local hospital is also taken some damage. meanwhile, in near by up day of care, which is under ukrainian control, what appears to be a mushroom cloud was reportedly seen near chemical plants. local media say it's a pit after a series of explosions and the risings. what was seen by locals in done yes. which is some 20 kilometers away. while people in the yes on the south coast live under constant shelling, car correspondence, roman cost of annuity,

martha ever visited the saint nicholas monetary or nearby villages to deliver humanitarian aid on record. under showing that the shelling kind of quieted down for a little while and i used this opportunity to inspect this some monastery. now this is just one of the temples at this monastery which was destroyed by ukrainian shelling. obviously there were no military positions here, but sir, this monastery were still targeted by the ukrainian military. there were hundreds of people here that say on the sample was destroyed. they weren't here exactly. but they were hiding in the basement because shelling simply would not stop. well, this temple is now destroyed. people still live in the basement, had this monastery waiting for air strikes and ukrainian artillery to stop. this is a local monastery that suffered quite

a bit during this conflict through it's all to run downstairs into the basement and wait until shelling by the cranium. military stops. we are in the basement of this monastery. at the moment. this is where the local residents are hiding from the constance shelling. there are both the women and her children are here. as you can see, the priests behind me, he's making sure everyone is so well and see over here home and his are studying scripture. you can look behind me, there are 3 boys here. another man is also writing prayers and all this is happening as the shelling continues nonstop and according to the locals. this has been happening here. non stop for the last 3

months as ukrainian army are relentless in terrorizing the locals. so it's finally quiet here and we were able to unload the humanitarian aid that were brought. you're supposed to visit the senior citizens home, which is only about a 100 meters away from here, but so there's a drone above us and to this ukrainian drone is so prevention us from delivering this humanitarian aid to the older people who are there? well, we talked to the monk here in the monastery, he said, we can leave the humanitarian aid here for now, and they will let it later deliver it to the elders, the pulse, the miniature, because multiple times with 10 minutes or so, we decided to take advantage of this, these wire,

if you will get out of there as quickly as possible. we are back on this road with eagles. republican 3 foreign fights is captured in maria poultry, british citizens and american national, have been sentenced to death by attend yet for public court. they were convicted among the charges of putting a violence overthrow of the government. in the done yes, republic. the trio had to plead guilty to some of the charges and the lawyer does say that they will appeal the sentence which could be commuted to life. imprisonment. may not be debated as heroes by many in the western media for fighting for ukraine, however, they at least appear to have reevaluated the war under participation in its me, newton. so whoa,

that's not not the war that they should been fighting for. like for myself, i look, look at myself, like i said to me, not one has to be mentioned or talked about my case or tried to help my situation. they understand. i have a time limit on my case, and i feel abandoned by the crating government, and the british government is totally different and a full scale war. my experience, and this is a 1st time i've had artillery 1st time. i've had grad and, and 1st i've been in a full scale war and is disorganized, it's unpleasant. it's green journalist and former c. i a analyst john kitty aqua says the volunteers who go to fights in other countries was have a price to pay when captured. 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 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 british or, or a moroccan and you volunteer to fight somebody else's war, then you're going to have to pay the price. when you're captured, it's going to be very clear to people who are entertaining, the idea of going to pray that there's nothing in it for them. they're, they're not going to get rich doing this. they're not going to come back with glory from the battle field. this is a 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 both financially and i hope they can avoid the death sentence on have asked for forgiveness. i probably would have tried to not join the military and try to get in to like a civilian way. i'm hoping the people don't just like to give my actions. i hope i really hope that i don't receive the death penalty so that i can go on to maybe help rebuild because there's going to be a lot of help needed. so many more will be our why are 48 and if we have a site and if you know, 33 times in england, it's one our civil medical, 2. if i get through this and i'm still alive, i'm chance at that time, you know, it's to me and it's done. one of the men aiden oslyn had previously been arrested on terrorism charges in the u. k. after the 4th in syria, back in 2016,

he was late declared of all those charges. britton's foreign secretary is criticized the knits courts sentence calling. it's illegal while a don and she's postman since that it was a polled at the sentence and geopolitical and list of blogger, jon mcdoogan says the death sentence is a warning to anyone else overseas thinking of joining the conflicts in ukraine. it was a legal decision carried out by the courts and i, even though they don't recognize the a l, the are in the loo, ganske people's republican, the gunners people's republic. those are still the governments in charge in those areas. so you know, whatever they say's is what's going to happen and was not allowed to take a new about it. they're telling people don't come here. mind your own business, because you don't love these people. they're sorry now because he got caught in this. this is the way it always is, but do not sorry when there are engaging in crimes against the people who don, ex republic with the, with ukrainian military. it's, it's a 2 way street, you know,

even me is a journalist. i'm on ukraine's kill list with a bunch of other journalists if we get caught there, they'll execute us just for reporting what's actually happening over there. so ino, do these governments like the u, k, u. s, and all these other governments that are crying foul or that they have no place. they have no reason to condemn mercenaries when, when their side of ukraine is, is, you know, willing to execute journalists, r t, a pers haven't covered some evidence that the ofc may have been working alongside ukraine's ultra nationalist right facts, movement. members of the european scarce organization allegedly shared a shelter with the far right fights, as we are theo se for comments, but a yet to receive reply. artes ecos done of has more. this is where the militants of the right sector battalion were stationed. one of the most notorious,

neo nazi groups in ukraine. this was their command center. you can see combs, cables, all. hm. of course, well destroyed. but what is particularly interesting about this place is that the right sector militants, again, one of the most notorious, neo nazi formations in ukraine, very much akin to as off or i da, for example, they shared this building with the members of the o is see mission we found their insignia on the floor just above us. so again, members of the international community, the what we see they owe to the roof over their heads to neo nazis. they shared food with neo nazis, a very peculiar symbiosis. so here's what i was talking about. ukrainian insignia right next to the insignia of the o. s. c. this is these are cyrillic letters. they are written in russian. so everything points to the fact that the members of always see indeed shared this

living space with the ukrainian forces, which were in part, well with the right sector near nancy battalion, there were 13 on this street here. they the right sector, lead the defense, was the right sector, mixed up with nato. yes, nato in the o. s. c, e were present here because we found their leaflets everywhere, their maps narcotics, and everything else. ah, this is an internal retorts all over. she dated 2016, detailing some very well very in humane approach of the ukrainian military towards civilians. since 2014 ukraine armed forces had been occupying civilian houses in the area of shore, sa street, booby traps and mine. we're also placed in this area which have led to numerous civilian casualties. in may,

several inhabitants of the village complained to the special monitoring mission about the behavior of ukraine armed forces personnel station in the vicinity of shows the street and reported that they had evicted one family from their home in order to occupy it. the soldiers were using aggressive wat stokes captain, least to prevent paper from accessing the area. it was reported that 2 people have been bitten by the dogs and his another report from january 2017 that we discovered on the right set to base a very interesting fine because he has a paragraph relationship with military and military occupation of civilian houses. here it details that the ukrainian armed forces indeed were occupying civilian houses and placing and placing military vehicles between these houses. for example, here at reeds in august, the special monitoring mission spoke with an intellect cuter, which is basically a local who showed his partially destroyed house. shortly after the ukrainian

military placed a tank in the back yard. so not only were they will using civilian houses in the victims civilians. they also, they also rigged them his picture taken by, oh se showing a booby trap. the pentagon is released of fight sheets, explaining that the funding of 46 bar labs in ukraine by the u. s. was in place to quote, improve ukraine's biological safety and disease surveillance for both human and animal health. the united states has also worked collaboratively to improve ukraine's biological safety, security, and disease surveillance for human and animal health, providing support to $46.00 peaceful ukrainian laboratories. this work often conducted in partnership with outside organizations, such as the w h o in the world organization for animal health has resulted in safer and more effective disease surveillance and detection. leo, moscow asked us for an explanation about his biology in ukraine after discover in 30 facilities must go believes the united states has spent more than $200000000.00

to develop biological weapons outs. you credit facilities, washington has denied any involvement calling the allegations. classic russian of poverty gander. the russian accusations are absurd. they are laughable. and as you know, in the words of my irish catholic grandfather, a bunch of marking there is nothing to it. it's classic russia, russian propaganda, the united states government does not own or operate biological laboratories in ukraine. full stop. ukraine does not have a biological weapon program. there are no ukrainian biological weapons laboratories. daniela's are jealous and also believes that russia's concerns over the bi labs and ukraine are legitimate. us has an obligation to,

to clarify the purpose and role of those violent bio labs to open up its files to submit the public inspection to essentially to, to answer any relevant questions, etc. and i think that russia as a neighboring own, neighboring countries, including russia, have an interest in what those labs were, were doing what they were about, and when they posed any kind of broader, broader public danger. but certainly the world awaits more evidence concerns that russia raises are certainly legitimate. it's later, if russia was found to have been operating a string of $46.00 bio 's in northern mexico, i guarantee the us would be demanding demanding all kinds of public disco disclosures or also be threatening military action if the shoe were on the

other for the u. s. would be taking very strong action. so therefore, i think that russia has at least as much justification to raise these concerns. moving onto the news now, new records are being broken in the us inflation hit the highest level in more than 4 decades, with average petrol prices increasing to $5.00 per gallon. the phone was $2.00 more than drivers of pay. and just one year ago, a lot of the thing i can do because i have to pay for, get those in less, less plates. are you got to think about gas now. you know, you gotta decide, you really want to go out. they're not good. they need extra money, like you want to go to the clo or go to the bars. i've got to spend money just to have fun, but then on that get well, yeah, think about that. i usually could probably like to see dollars and i was like a $100.00. we don't want to go too far and we don't wanna use a car too much because it's pointless to right now. battle prices have been

rising for the past months in washington's recent har, sanctions on russia's energy states have only exacerbate the situation. the price of petrol in california is no more than $6.00 per gallon. and that's just one of $23.00 u. s. states where prices have climbed to more than $5.00. under some forecast predicts even further rises, the u. s. government has some unpopular proposals for dealing with the crisis as our team, donal quarter reports, us gas prices just keep on skyrocketing, breaking new records nearly every week. the strain on americans wallets that the gas pump has gotten so bad, that one republican congressman says, people would save money by getting high to get around at this point. in my state, the price of gash is so high that it would be cheaper to buy cocaine and just everywhere, he probably wasn't serious. but the point still stands. prices have gotten so high that a michigan police department has asked its officers to keep eating donuts at the

office and just follow up on calls over the phone to avoid using gas with 3 and a half months left and its fiscal year. the department has already used up 96 percent of its gas budget. according to the american automobile association, people's' cars are breaking down in the middle of the road a lot more frequently as people try to test the limits of their gas tanks all the while. the white house continues to blame vladimir putin for the suffering of americans. today's place report, confirm what americans already know. prudent price, i could share america hard. gas prices at the pump. energy in food prices cover half of the monthly price increases since may. of course, those well off enough to afford electric cars are so disconnected from reality that they're wondering why all these ordinary people don't just stop buying gas if it's so expensive. i do have to say just on the issue of gas prices after waiting for a long time, read to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle. i got

it and drove it from michigan to here this last weekend and went by every single gas station didn't matter how high it was. and so i'm looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehicles that aren't going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies. and the international markets. surprise, surprise. many did not appreciate that sentiment. this stab now as a typically clueless, arrogant, smug, shelter, democrat politician, vote every democrat out. nothing shows how out of touch democrats are like saying people should just buy an expensive electric car. they can't afford in the middle of record high inflation. what self righteous frills, like these don't care, is that 90 percent of the american population will never be able to afford an electric car. that's nonsense. i mean look of the price. the cars are going up very fast, and electric vehicles are going up even faster than the average price. the cars,

that rice of a, of financing the interest rates are going up. and people's real disposable income is going down because of inflation. i mean, are you gonna finance? are you going to buy a new car? now people are gonna take more public transport if they can, or they're going to really ration out the time that they drive a car and come november. and they're going to remember all that and they're going to blame, but it's no wonder a recent a b. c. news poll shows americans are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with how joe biden is handling the economy over 70 percent of respond and said the u. s. president wasn't doing enough to bring down the price of gas and inflation as a whole. this is, is everything, everything the race is laid out, readers like the greens. i don't, i don't, i don't, i don't know if i do the same as i do when i'm down there. it is. clothes, man. i think, you know, i just, i didn't like going up everything years like very expensive. like if i want to go

on somewhere, it's like, you see a dog, now's a ton. i see to keep growing up. isn't very for management in congress, but i, i'll think is going to keep going up because yeah, what's prices? yeah. go up in the companies are the guitars that while with every load and with mid term elections right around the corner, the democrats are likely to get a run for their money. they clearly did not the estimate, the impact that the sanctions would have on global inflation and, and to me it seems very, very stupid by u. s. policy makers, you know, just coming off of this terrible cove, it impact on the economy a to take this big, your risky move here was worth the sanctions. i don't think they were really thinking this thing through very well. and even on now the u. s. has worn to african countries not to by weights. they allege has been stolen by russia. this comes as the spokesperson for the un secretary general has a method he doesn't have any very k verification for these claims. is you the u. n

. a. where'd of such conduct from of russia and ukraine? we've seen, i mean, there was recent media reports. we were talking to our colleagues at w f. p. who would be in the lead? i mean there's no, they have no way of verifying these allegations. as many african countries struggle with a severe food shortage of 14000000 people. and now on the brink of starvation in somalia, ethiopia, and kenya, it's also expected that $18000000.00 more people will face severe hunger in the salvage. and by august, the head of the african humanitarian action organization. so there's no reason to follow washington's warnings. was doing so could exacerbate the confidence from the crisis. i don't think is appropriate for anybody to say last week. i'm not biased from anywhere. when 1000000 stop now stuttering, and therefore it's very important that we get the food as soon as possible before i die. and it's very important that most often countries including south africa

question the show of why they should support any initiative from any other side of it. is an online confidence and therefore it's very important that africa keeps the goods open with any country in the world. this is very important source for africa because we have a lot of people here. we have climate change in our lives and now have a 1000000 droughts, not happening in many parts of africa, simply we cannot make the people who are africa, phones in this great, or that's happening in the central per box. also, according to unicef, a severe drought unlock of international funding, not just a shortage of russian ukrainian grain are to blame for african children suffering in countries such as somalia, you an international children's emergency, one has urged the will to redirects attention from the one ukraine or the 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. in as, as says that almost 400000 children in somalia are now in need of treatment for severe malnutrition. and thus a 15 percent increase in just 5 months since last year. some african countries have recorded arise in malnourished children needing urgent aid. in particular, tenure where numbers have shot up over 70 percent. situations been aggravated by the constant worst drought in 50 years, leaving more and more people in urgent need of food medicine and clean water. we discussed the issue earlier with august. she 7 nations have never shown themselves to, to, to be pro africa, you know, never shown themselves to our history to protect valuable 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 width and especially those that are lied to g 7. if they

really came about the people on 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 that focus on the, on the main issues that speak to the, to the men on the ground. you know, so i think the situation now is bad about pushing their own agenda to build on 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. terry, about what happens, you know, i mean if you got cars that can constant, this will be need mining companies just come, especially mining companies on the west. just come take, we saw the need, you know, and leave those communities. but any roads in the least without any infrastructure, you know, the never seen us as being german literacy. never being people did a equivalent demo equal to the ukrainian president followed him in the landscape,

has claimed the key has been pushed towards unfavorable agreements with russia. hiding the world is getting fatigued at the conflicts that comes from western media outlets appeared to be edging away from the previous a victory for cube at all costs narrative, while questing the ultimate goals which ukraine wants to achieve. if kiev and moscow are headed for a multi year or even multi decade, frozen conflict, we will need to push ukraine towards its most realistic rather than its most ambitious military strategy. morale among the ukrainian troops is reportedly suffering brushing command as a concentrating massive firepower on ukrainian positions. as russian troops continued to push forward, western media outlets are beginning to paint less hawkish. outlook is confidence among ukrainian soldiers declines. earlier we discussed the apparent change in narrative with the panel of gas. the media in the west has refused to look at facts . fax, historically, prior to the nation,

refused to look at facts about the 2014 activities. now they're caught by surprise when they can no longer ignore the facts or thing over here is essentially a change from one media perspective or one media narrative, which was mostly based on, i would say wishful thinking to a gradual but painful recognition of you know, what's actually going on over there, it is impossible for me to believe that the u. s. media actually believes that ukraine has a real military chance for the taking leave from the district. i mean, the ukranian army isn't towers and the boss. no, the elements have been trying to cover this up because it wasn't favorable. they are reporting what's the truth now. they're reporting that the russians are advancing. maybe there are even trying to pay the russians us now this, this over aggressive fully. but the truth of the matter is the russians are finally broken the back of the korean army. and you can't deny it once he has also made

some other rare comments. recently admitting that $2500.00 ukraine fighters did actually surrender at the as of salt plant last month in marble, and that ukraine is losing up to about $100.00 soldiers per day. what do you think about the timing of these admissions? and what could they tell us about kids, current stance in the conflict? i think that he's beginning to be forced to reveal the facts that the facts that ukrainians themselves are already quite aware of. i think so let's get disconnected from the people of ukraine. you know, there are 6000000 ukrainian refugees outside of the country has left already and must have been poland. some in germany. this situation is dire and it is desperate . i think the biggest issue reform is let's see, other becoming this. this here are in the media as a celebrity, you know, has as a figure, standing up against a paper paper. and my big question is, what is one of the ones you go to do when you, craig not negotiating?

a settlement to some guy no longer exists. he won't have a country war to try to pivots and ask for money for others or welfare for an endless situation. it's not going to work out as the story to take the we k on august the international head over to our website for more any of them money we just got on the back with more of the top of the hour. thank you very much for watching. ah news for the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been trashed with a very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desperate when the, when i was just a little when you get just me sitting on it with the glue, the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture yet know what she could.
