very dramatic and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time to sit down and talk a see they owe to the roof over their heads to neo nazis. they should food with nazi very peculiar symbiosis. and our key crew fines document stating that neil, nothing funded or is from the ukrainian army unit for planting landmines in civilian areas of the don bollock in 2016 european security grouping b o s e. seemingly aware of that information. also in the story that shape and weight it, then yes, court issued death sentences for 3 foreign fighters captured during the siege. mario, both the men to britain on the moroccan have pleaded guilty,

but love to appeal that with one of the russian economy rebellions from an initial shock. western countries are coming to terms with the forward from their own sanctions against moscow, and make soaring energy prices on the looming crisis line ups bank i can do because we don't want a parking lot. it's point with bringing you the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly an rti hello and welcome to the news rob local or defense systems in the city of done yet have reportedly been working to defend the area from a series of incoming attacks. residents shared these images of plumes of smoke in the sky following a massive overnight bombardment. ukrainian forces are believed to have recently

conducted at least 10 attacks on the city. on r t correspondent came under fire on saturday, while reporting on the aftermath of the previous struck ah, let's say i forgot the car garage compound with shelter and the mortar. fire is continuing several mortars were incoming just now mostly because of the ongoing shelling. the fire engines are going out. we use diet. becca closets are 2 more rounds, just hit this area another you show walla. is this, is this something with an yep. you got you her way on the copiers absolutely no military facility. here are you can see there are houses, garages, just civilian infrastructure. and fossil florida was because an annual, like you could, firefighters unfortunately have to work in that condition. they put out the fires caused by the showing all the while russian forces continue to take out ukrainian

military facilities. the defense ministry. moscow is released this footage of russian artillery strikes on ukrainian armed forces positions as well as video of a high precision. miss silas strike from the c targeting military infrastructure. russia is celebrating its national holiday. this june, the 12 residents i've done by the sultan joined in with the celebrations with people from marble and the done yes. republic, unfurling a must have russian flood citizens in the against republics, capital city gathering for festivities. the southern city of mili total now under russia, controlled, celebrated the holiday. whatever. the 3 foreign fighters captured and murray, you pulled 2 british citizens, moroccan national, were sentenced to death this week by a court in the dining nets republic. now they were convicted of putting in

a violent overthrow of the regions government. the trio pleaded guilty, the sum of the charges there lawyer said they'll appeal a sentence which could be commuted to life imprisonment. the men have largely been depicted as heroes by western media for fighting for kiss or for their belief and the conflict appears to have bolstered since being the team to me newton. so was that not by not a war that they should be fighting for? like for myself, i look, look at myself. like i said to me, not one of the mentioned or talked about my case or tried to help my situation. they understand. i have a time limit to 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 off in

a full scale war and is disorganized, it's unpleasant. it's green. while the 2 men's words in captivity are at odds with some of their comments before they were detained, as they had previously voted to fight the last against russia. 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. i feel a need to protect the ukrainian way of life, even though i'm not ukranian. 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 journalist and former c. i analysts, john kerry, echo, say, fall, and tears who go to fight and other countries, wars have a price to pay when capture. if this is not your conflict, you has 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 face the full power of the law. and so if, if you're an american or in the case that you cited a britisher 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 ukraine, 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 battlefield. 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. well, those men shown pinner on aiden austin. 2 of the 3 spoke of their hopes on avoiding the death penalty heads of their sentence. i probably would have tried to not join the military and tried to get into like a civilian way. i'm hoping the people and 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 for me. my will be done. i'm 48. and if we have a say, and if you know, 33 times in england, it's one survive memory or 2. if i get through this and i'm still alive, i'm not going to chance at that time. you know, it's to me, it's done. just to note, aiden ashlyn had previously been arrested on terrorism charges in the u. k. after

he fought in syria. at back in 2016, he was later cleared of the allegations. britton's foreign secretary has criticized the done yet. courts decision calling the legal while a dawning st spokesperson said it was called a paul that this sentencing geopolitical analyst and us marine corps veteran john mark doug and say the death sentence is a warning to anyone else thinking of coming to fight and you it was a legal decision carried out by the court and even though they don't recognize the the l d r in the loo, gone for people's republic in the people's republic. those are still the governments in charge. you know, there is so you know, whatever they say's is what's going to happen. and there's not a lot that they can do 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 they got caught in this is, this is the way it always is, but they're not sorry when they're engaging in crimes against the people that

donica republic with, with you, grand military. it's, it's a 2 way street, you know, even me as a journalist, i'm on ukraine's kill list with a bunch of other journalists. and if we get caught there, they'll execute us just for reporting what's actually happening over there. so, you know, the, these governments like the u, k, u. s. and all these other governments that are growing fowler with this, 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 of something else to bring you today. r t appears to have uncovered evidence that the organization for security and cooperation in europe may have been in some way involved with ukraine's ultra nationalist right sector movement. we have ass the u. s. c. the world's largest security bobby for

comment, but yet received a reply. ortiz eager at olive has the story. 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 of them, 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 share 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 bo 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're written in russian. so everything

points to the fact that the members of always see indeed shared this living space with the ukranian 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 and 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 resource all over. she dated 2016, detailing some very well very in humane approach of the ukrainian military towards civilians. since 2014 ukraine armed forces have been occupying civilian houses in

the area of shorter 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 shore 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 of my accessing the area. it was reported that 2 people had been bitten by the dogs and his another report from january 2017 that we discovered on the right set to base a very interesting find 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. here's a picture taken by o. s. c showing a booby trap. igor, shadonna f. okay, let's move on to more world news now. new records were said in the u. s. this week as inflation had its highest level and more than 4 decades on the average price of gasoline increase to $5.00 per gallon. that's very twice what it was that average number just a year ago on americans. so as you can imagine, aren't too happy at the choices they're being forced to make just in order to fill up the pumps. a lot of other things i can do because i have to pay to get those in less less later. or you gotta 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 club or go to the bars. got to spend money just to have fun, but then on that gap. well yeah, think about that. i usually could probably like to see dollars and i like a $100.00. we don't want to go to florida. we don't wanna use a car too much because it's pointless to right now. petrol prices have been rising drastically over the past month, and washington's barn on oil imports from russia has only exacerbated the situation . gasoline in california is not more than $6.00 per gallon, with some locations, seeing it as high as $10.00. some experts are predicting further increases as well across the nation. and it is not just the energy food prices are surging around the world with the world trade organization warning that export bonds other sanctions as well are set to make and already global food prices. even worse. i

think one of the things you must not to underestimate is how things like export restrictions and pro he patients can exacerbate the situation. you saw that in the 20082009 food crisis. just those kinds of actions did lead to price spikes while just to expand and some of those remarks are t. charlotte dubiously has been looking into how effective the with sanctions against russia has actually been when western leaders banded together to impose unprecedented sanctions on russia. they were clear, this would smash the country's economy to a pulp. we will limit russia's ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds, and yen. to be part of the global economy, the sanctions measures we impose today. i think without question, for the most consequential ever levied on russia and arguably, the most consequential ever levied in history. all coordinated sanctions pushing

the russian economy back to the say, the era, our sanctions and the self sanctioning of companies themselves, draining rushes economy and thus draining the criminal war machine. at 1st, there were signs that the may succeed, the central bank raised interest rates to 20 percent, and they were reports of shortages. however, almost 4 months on and those warnings happened yet come to pass. in fact, some sign suggests that russia is far more resilient than any western the, the could have predicted. between january and april, russia sorts current account surplus jump to an all time high. that's almost 4 times higher than the same period last year. meanwhile, as western countries are battling with historically high inflation rates, the rates in russia is going down on june 10th, russia central bank. and so that would decrease the key interest rate back to 9.5

percent to where it had been before its military operation. had begun may be seen as a key sign in one of the many that the country's economy is perhaps adapting to the effects of western sanctions. i think russia is dealing rather successfully with these sanctions because they are in a very strong position. and everybody knows this, if you are a supplier of all raw material, they are, and russia has all raw material needed in the world. you are in a pretty comfortable situation, especially when you have a very strong military. you have a very decent size of population and you have some industry that is very promising . now, much of west and aspirations of crushing rushes economy came from plans to phase out all completely ban imports of its fossil fuels. the us and the you have taken some steps to that end,

but things haven't exactly gone to their plans. russia continues to sell vast energy supplies to the e. u, and it's even found itself new customers. it's also been reaping the benefits of sky rocketing energy prices, meaning it can sell less volume while still making more money. that's got the u. s . worried with washington now begging both china and india to stop buying so much russian oil in my conversations with them. i've said, look, we don't have secondary sanctions, we can't ban your purchases. but as you increase your purchase from russia, don't go too far and don't look like you're taking advantage of the pain that is being felt in european households in the united states. as a promise of ordering, russia has essentially, at least for now fail to come to pass western nations all racing to try and expand them this time by trying to coax neutral countries to join the coalition against moscow. joe biden is reaching out to saudi arabia, a country that he branded

a pariah state just last year. he's also tried to, could you brazil, but that's not panning out either the inflation here. the already increasing interest rates. the difference between the price increases here and they average real wage increases. all of these things are creating enormous political difficulties in the united states and in other parts of the world. and you an analysis that puts all the blame on any one country, or any one event, is ipso facto unreliable. it's not serious. that is rhetoric of politically fin rhetoric. it's not an analysis of what's going on. russia certainly hasn't been isolated as the west had planned and hoped for at the same time the intended effect of the sanctions has turned into a boomerang, affect, obviously,

in many situations, we can't fully mitigate or avoid still over costs to ourselves or to analyze and partners i think the russia program is a great example of that. i think from the beginning we here in united states and our allies in partners around the world, particularly in europe. understood. i think that we are clear about this, that there will be costs that we will have to take measures and impose costs on russia that will have still overs into our economies. despite the rebounding repercussions, the appetite for even more and even the heavier sanctions against russia hasn't diminished even flat. may. putin has expressed concern about the impact sanctions on having on the west. and this is a good, we are not going to have a closed economy. if someone tries to limit us from something they are limiting themselves, it's clear sanctions have pressed russia. in some areas,

it's getting harder, for example, to buy spare parts. the cars and prices have increased, but the west has so far failed to do what it promised to drain the country's economy and to force puting to cool off his troops. the china has called on the us and its allies to compensate the victims of nato's bombing of yugoslavia. in the 1990 switch devastated the local population. you may wish to have a 23 years ago. u. s. lead nato blatantly bombarded the federal republic of yugoslavia for $78.00 days without the approval of the un security council. such moves by the u. s. lead nato or shocking nato should solemnly reflect on its war crimes answer for its actions and compensate the victims of the depleted uranium bombs that they dropped as soon as possible. nato must be taught a lesson and stop creating new turmoil and division across the world. the nato

bombing campaign killed around $2500.00 civilians, including $79.00 children. according to serbian officials, thousands more were wounded. nato r strikes destroyed civilian infrastructure, much of which were residential buildings in the series of attacks which lasted nearly 80 days. in 1999 nato's operation allied force was conducted as an incursion into the country civil war. as various regions sought independence. the operation was launched without the approval of the un security council less bypassing international law. despite the resistance of russian and other countries, washington and allies began their so named humanitarian intervention, which they still consider have been necessary on legitimate serbian political analysts. alexander province safety u. s. is guilty of double standards, so it ignores international law. but the months that other countries always stick to the rules, do you doesn't recognize any international jurisdiction over it or the soldiers. so

you know, us demands the other stick to the rules that it doesn't respect itself. you know, they. busy for this rules based international order, right? you know, it comes down to the right, the rules and everyone else should obey except for them. so, you know, as long as they keep asking like that there will be this order because it's clearly using double standards. what applies for everyone else doesn't apply for washington, and unfortunately, it hasn't changed one iota, you know, they're now pressuring serbia to up and then russia to impose sanctions against russia for violating ukrainian territory. but the united states violated serbian territory, 999. and ben in 2008 by recognizing unilaterally part of the serbian territory, the so called cost of all which is not been able to establish itself as any kind of a viable state. it's a failed state and without international date,

without nato troops when the survive 2 days. in the aftermath of nato is bombing campaigns, an international peacekeeping mission was established in yugoslavia. the country dissolved in 2003 with the cost of a region later, declaring full independence from serbia 5 years later were without state. is this still not recognized by bel grades along with nearly half the international community? western nations have been the main supporters of autonomy for kosovo. we discussed natal politics on the bombardment campaign with a former foreign minister of yugoslavia. it is a clear violation all think that mission know and i'll talk on not the diplomacy international relations. it is indeed the end of tampa to impose all factors in violent their

own relations all sober and saturday and russia, the seas to be condemned and to be strongly rejected as unacceptable move nato. he is, ah g tool of a usc and the key tool for expending the pony c own donation domination or to use that concept of unit body ceased and, and there with a tendency of move people modernization all relations. we see additional air force to defend the unit will allow the c stand by all means out well for this is

a like an attempt to act $132.00. he's 3132 no want tendencies. ready it is the liberal tech team of nato countries. are they won't we ukraine and they are who are in i'm a mentor instructors and know why he's all kind of gc support because they wouldn't like to see we can to rush school a. we are all russia. he's also not realistic, but a dish tension. this keeps you wrong. this kid here under our control of united states. and then this is also

a spending market for a military publics to latin america. bolivia is former interim president. janine onions has been sentenced to a decade in prison for orchestrating a crew that brought her to power in 2019 knots over throw saw then president even morales forced to resign with anita is coming to power by the bypassing of constitutional and electro norms. janine on yes, a, she's innocent and plans to address the international community to appeal to her conviction. 100, some bolivians gathered outside the court house in the nation's capital to celebrate the decision. after the sentence was hundreds on investigation, had been initiated by morality is left wing party which regained office in 2020 latin american studies. professor at new york university. daniel shaw says the ruling will be felt by the events this strike series. so washington,

that a peoples government that the m a s in bolivia could try these qu mongers, these us sponsored violators of human rights, the perpetrators of the sing kata, ah massacre in bolivia, jeanene i, yes, is behind bars. for 10 years on this sends a clear message that the bolivian people will take justice into their own hands regardless of what washington, thanks, time of monroe is, i'm in the 1824 monroe doctrine, the time of south america in the caribbean. as the united states is back yard, that epic of history has ended, but the majority of countries were not at the summit of the americas odds. 22 countries boy caught in the summit of the americas. so this polarization

gripping the cons in it are federal, is set to win with frontier marquez in columbia. we have lula sets when in october, in brazil, the largest economy, a in, in south america. and this is going to shift the side in lulu talking about the, sued a united south american currency. so this is our sharing in a 2nd wave of boulevard in ism, that represents a lot of our hope in decades the centuries of resistance across the hemisphere. inside on the lead chechen army unit next for a really glimpse, look at how they get come bought. ready. they close for a short talk and battle for freedom augment, special forces by the head ah, [000:00:00;00]

with ah, the 1st time in history, the entire countries culture has been cancelled. the very modern weapon cancelled culture nearly desert one the will. i will, sheffield my love. so thought in one william rog yet just me sitting there with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture can yet know what her career. she was the zip code where your mouth booked. sure, which will be your cities, shall i live with zillow that go with them. most of the sub richland, m, e,
