western economy, who, if anyone will be held accountable. a with 3 people, including a child, are killed and several others wounded in what the local authorities say was a ukrainian artillery attack on a marketplace. and that done yet. republic also ahead. this is the f essential the ukrainian forces, just outside of the nets can from there they can well, they can shoot and shell in all directions. i made fierce clashes on the front lines. our t reports from a battle field near a ukrainian army strongholds on the outskirts of done yes. and also coming up on the program this our, our leading italy newspaper identifies individuals. it say's are involved in so

called russian propaganda. we hear from an italian photographer, i'd create to find himself on the list. i am being accused of pro russian political propaganda. but what proof of this allegation do they have? i'm just doing my job by reporting what i see. i had already been following the conflict for 8 years and all these years i had a clear view of who was the aggressor, former mcdonald's restaurants reopened in russia, with the new owner rebranding it to the name, tasty, full stop, r t, visit to on all the fast food joints, to take a look at the changes. try out the menu with broadcasting from moscow. this is our team. my name is you know, neil on 30 minutes of news and views start. now, let's get straight into the latest from the ground in the ukraine conflict. local authorities in done yet have reported that another civil and has been killed in

intense ukrainian artillery shelling of the area. earlier in the day. not least 3 people, including a child, were killed and numerous others wounded, seen thus artillery attack, which had a market place in the city. key of husband does. he have commented on either incident or t correspondence among costs, or if it's up, the scene. ukrainian military continues to terrorize innocent civilians here in the city of dun ned's. several districts were targeted by ukraine's artillery on monday afternoon. as the result, 3 people including a mother and a child were killed. well, there was a lot of damage to houses, apartment buildings, the gas pipeline was damaged as well. if you will, diesel was also destroyed. now i'm at one of the places that were hit by shelling right here behind me can see firefighters are still working. trying to put out this

blaze. now, a rocket from my multiple rocket launcher are right here. this is a storage facility, as i understand is sort aerosols and stationary goods as well. so the entire building is now completely destroyed and that this kind of scenes we can witness. so all throughout the city of done that's this monday. there had been no damage to any military infrastructure and it's civilians who continue to suffer from on costs or have already done that. people's republic else were in the southeastern city of melee topple for people have been wounded, send an explosion on inside the police station. local officials say ukrainian forces were responsible for the boss and in nearby burdens. an explosion of a power station cut off vital electricity supplies to the city. no one was reported injured in that incident. while intense fighting is raging around the key city of

service and yet square law against republic forces no claim they've taken over the residential areas. rushes defense ministry recently sir, but nearly all of the republic some 97 percent is under the control of russian forces on their don path allies and in the neighboring town. yet republic, russian lead troops have also been advancing recent, capturing, more than a dozen settlements fighting though, is continuing on the outskirts of the capital city done yet, where ukrainian forces whole fortified positions ortiz acreage had done. i filed this report for us from the front line. ah, this frontline is just outside the city of the nets and according to the military here, the ukrainians over there, they've amassed a significant amount of manpower and military vehicles in

a matter of the past week. basically here's what happened. they had to retreat from the north because that's where they're being pushed by the den that people's republics militia. so they have no other option, but to go to of day of car where they have various, what basically stronghold it's a fortress so they can hide that. so there, concentrated in the, this is the epicenter of the ukrainian forces, just outside of the nets can from there they can, well, they can shoot an shell in all directions. basically from over there, they're shelling civilians and genetic civilians in other villages and towns here and quite often the use. so this is the remains of a polish shell and it's aluminum. and what's very special about it is that you can't hair at normal. you can hear the hissing sound of mine as it's approaching you, or is it, or is it flies above you? these don't make a sound. these are silent killers. and in general, according to the military,

they seem the ukrainian seem to be running out of soviet ammunition because more and more they're finding these western made remains of the armaments. but natalie said he was born on on ocean, which they've really strengthened their positions in are part of the front in africa, in the direction of the village of spartak. we suspect they did. this is our soldiers squeezed them down from the north and they moved people here along the only road that can still be driven on. they brought artillery systems and tanks here and camouflaged their positions, but were gradually forcing them out. they've moved over here because there are 2 large heavy, concrete fortified areas in a former military base in the area and you know little front line town of spar tuck is tormented like it hasn't been in years. the ukrainian forces are hitting it with all the military might. they've got there. but while it looks deserted, a handful of civilians still live there. many out of principle of chair of northern

will. what i've been living here for a long time, more than 40 years. i've lived through the home or here i haven't gone anywhere. we started living in the basement when the war began and all the utilities were disconnected. the electricity was set off literally in a week's time. shortly after that, the water was turned off, and then a week later the gas was cut off the machines in the winter. it's clear that the apartment isn't heated or so we've been living in the basement to get the to, to get a meeting with those whom decided to stay. they have to live in conditions like this, especially given the increased volume over the bombardments coming and bombs falling from the ukrainian side. of course, this is no blocks re hotel,

but they have an improvised something of stover fireplace, a couple of bunk beds. but notice how neat it is here, little improvised shelves or something like a rock here. so even given that people here, of course, they have to survive and will really die conditions. this is miles better compared to what we've seen as of style steel plant, for example, where the as of neo nazi fight as well. this is much cleaner, much better, much neat and much more of a home. gorgeous down taking us through that. now, as russian troops continued their advance, more and more weapons are being fund a funded by cubes forces. western states, so been shipping thousands of shorts and medium range missiles, as well as empty tank systems. armored vehicles under defense units to ukraine. but canvas requesting further military aid because it's now heavily reliant on those weapons. and ammunition, ortiz donald quarter, picks up the story. he has cheerleaders in the western media. look

a bit down these days. no doubt that heavy military losses encouraged by ukraine have sent a shock wave of war weariness across its camp. this is an artillery war now, and we are losing, in terms of artillery, the number of casualties more than 20000 a month, raises the question about what state ukraine's army will be. and if the war drags on into the autumn with a sour ukraine, with tens of billions of dollars, with a seemingly never ending flow of weapons to boot. and still kiev says it needs even more military aid because it's now running out of ammo. so to real, the ukrainian military's western lifeline back into the fray, it's deploying some good old fashioned fear tactics and cooking. if pudding winds 500000 ukrainian troops will join the one and a half 1000000 russian forces. if europe was invaded by russia, they could not defend themselves all the while jo biden's busy saying i told you so about his warnings to ukraine's president vladimir zalinski back before russia

launched its military operation. i know a lot of people thought i was maybe exaggerating, but i knew and we had data to sustain. he was going to go in off the border. there was no doubt and zalinski didn't want to hear it. it's not just biden, though zalinski is cabinets, seems to not like listening to western officials at all. at last month's world economic forum in davos, former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, called on zalinski to make territorial concessions to russia in the interest of peace for that's zalinski said he felt like he was in munich in 1938, preparing to make concessions to the nazis at the same time, ukraine's internet database of enemies of the states mere authority has accused the former us statesman of spreading fascist propaganda. more recently, kissinger double down saying a place needs to be found for russia. at the end of the war, the question will now be how to end the war at its end of place has to be found for ukraine and

a place has to be found for russia. if we don't want russia to become an outpost of china in europe, as a landscape continues his uncompromising position, economic consequences of unconditional support are piling up in the west. and the u . k. many are cutting back on consumption of both food and energy. according to polls, $1.00 and $6.00 germans are skipping meals, a mid skyrocketing food prices and across europe. the authorities are warning of a harsh, cold winter to come, who knows how much longer kia has before the west decides to cut its losses abroad and focus on far bigger problems at home. we don't know where these weapons are landing, some might be being used by the troops, but we know that any are destroyed before they're even deployed by directly into depots or even into trains. and also the concerns for the effects of the war on europe, particularly energy and food costs are going to already having an

impact on the population. the similarity between the reporting of the war in the major newspapers. and overwhelmingly, in the last couple of weeks, the stories have changed. turn a bit. they've mentioned the shortage of ammunition. they've mentioned some ukrainian losses. they've mentioned the difficulty of energy provisions for the, for the winter in europe. and every day there's a new solution as to how to go around the problem of the russian gas and what's going to happen in october. okay, let's move to more world news now in the face of escalating western pressure indian has remained defiance against the world trade organizations restrictions on subsidized agriculture. the countries commerce ministers,

these new deli won't be pushed to run by external forces order. because the developed countries signed a one sided pact to benefit their own farmers before the world trade organization was form what they gave a raw deal to week and developing nations. india has been fighting for the rights of its farmers and agriculture within the w t. o, no one can pressure india, we want to come to any pressure mates at that pressure. the geneva base w t o establish restrictions against exporting crops, subsidized by governments, because it could lead to infer rates on global markets. and in this case, such subsidies allow farmers to grow more. wheaton rice, in particular at cheaper costs, delhi has said it's seeking improvements regarding the policy if it wants to support its domestic farmers and ensure of food security on a national level while on their overall. busy spear of things, india has been a flash point of tensions with the west and recent months of ritz maintaining of

close relations with russia, amid the ukraine conflict, it's rejected calls from the u. s. the could imports of russian oil. indeed, india has actually increased purchases of the commodity to reduce price from its partner, country to the north. india is not one of the top consumers of russian oil, whereas the u. s. as opposed to them bar go on in ports of the commodity from russia. the u. s. some harsh words for new delhi regarding the importance in my conversations with them. i've said, look, we don't have secondary sanctions, we can't ban your purchasers. but as you increase your purchases 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, in the united states. last elven to that were political, expert and entrepreneurs to seen print a wallet in india's capital city. welcome to you. why has india recently been under so much pressure from the west, from the us regarding oil imports? now from w t o on i grew up culture. well,

i think one of the reasons why india is being under so much precious because the us expected it india as an ally of the us, which it is would come down over to us lines on line on the embark on russian id. but i think for the west to needs to understand do things india and russia size a historical india has a sovereign right to do what is in her self interest. and india, her statement again done when something that justified, for example, with ben israel with iran. it's worked, it's worked along with the western block, but russia and guess energy security, betterment and needs to secure herself before moving on. and you know, it's your pin countries you're buying who continue to buy, import oil and gas from the show. so i think it's in just consumption go, increase is much less than all of europe, and this is your 1st needs to reduce the purchases before they can make sure in the

on what you're doing with regards to russia. yeah, that's a very interesting point. also, india is commerce ministers said new delhi wolf to western pressure. that's been a, a theme for the last few weeks, but going forward will not continue to be the case. will india hold out in? yeah, we'll have to all call out an historically since the 1st government defenders form that isn't independent. india has always gone on foreign policy. india has been close to russia has been close to the rest and law. india has to do what is in her self interest. what is best for her people. please understand. we have a population of 1400000000. we need to feed our people as well. even with regards to the export. you see india when it, it promised that it would, it would supply wheat to the world because of the reduced output. because if you cream or india, it's not backing out of the commitment. individual countries all doing deals with india, but it has to be equitable distribution. it cannot be like the vaccines where only

the rich or the rich countries of access, directing the poor country. in this particular case, it is the broker who are getting the wheat out of india, and that would obviously be sold for profit, the country 2nd apartment, which is a no brainer, the rich countries in the us in the last few years. last few months to deal with egypt struck a deal on these up countries that a portal then the rest of your country. and i think in each of their names, it's necessary. you know that america's top energy advisor urged india to cut import oil after the country became one of the top consumers of the russian exports of the commodity. what do you see to seen as the main motivation for such a statement from washington? well, you know, they obviously want russia to be under pressure and deal with the want. russian oil imports exports and imports to other countries to reduce and i understand where they're coming from. but you see in your casual historic,

the problem is yellow in you have to cut all imports from venezuela because the united states in the western real problem, india and iran, chad, extremely warm, come adrien friendship. it's historical, even before they became an independent country, civilizational friendship, yet india to reduce its imports from iran because of the rest and pressure. so at some point, india which is not producing country, will have to start sticking by, spread it out. it's all important, jeopardize. it's energy security just because, you know, the western countries may have a problem with the country. beacon 2 or 3 countries. i mean, at some point in, gosh, look at in the g security which is paramount. the book, again repeat, india has 1400000000 people in the energy security is pheromone. i meant the demands being made by the u. s. another european partners on india to, to subside and go along with them on functions and other things. how does that affect relations with new delhi and those countries with the west going forward?

how do you see it progressing? the rest has to deal with india, i think, you know. and then the 3rd part is it has to understand what constraints, what are our destruction, and we support it with the rest. but it, it seemed, and we cannot spoil our relationship, which is traditional friendship with russia who is being a friend and has been with us to content. when you see this, china, which is emerging, it's growing stronger in the other counterbalancing force. india is a part of the cord in the us, cooperating with the u. s. in the western block. we are having several new creates a sizes. so we're there with them and where it's deem necessary. but then we have historical friendships like russia, like iran. i think the west also need to understand that they need to look at india separately. it cannot look at india from a residence perspective, from your perspective. many thanks for coming in the program and sharing your expertise with as political experts and entrepreneurs to seen putting a wallet from new delhi. thank you. know, nato's chief,

her said. ukraine may have to start thinking whether to trade its territory. part of it for a peace deal yet installed in burg, also insisted that the military alliance will stay out at the conflict to avoid a potential escalation. is this possible? that's all to question the way. the question is, what price are you willing to pay for piece? how much total the, how much in depends on much sovereignty. how much freedom, how much the walker see, are willing to sacrifice for peace. and that's a very difficult moral dilemma on it's for those who are paying the highest plus to make that judgment, our response week to support them. new interesting comments wasn't an annette comes as the german daily build is reporting that the leaders of 3 european nato countries, france, germany, italy, are planning a trip to key at the end of the month. none of the government's have confirmed a claim as yet. however, at they have hinted that ukraine is going to have to make some concessions to

achieve peace ortiz rachel mars, and looks into what might be on the agenda if the trip goes ahead. all 3 leaders, recent words and actions, have conveyed mixed feelings and continuing to fuel the conflict in ukraine. zalinski himself is said that french president, a menu and back hall, told him to give up land for peace. echoing the position of american diplomatic icon, harry henry kissinger. michael also said that we must not humiliate russia so that the date of fighting stops. we can build a way out through diplomatic channels. italian prime minister mario druggie has been calling for peace negotiations. and his foreign affairs, mister luigi, did my o presented a 4 point piece plan last month to united nations secretary general antonio gutierrez, involving a ceasefire. demilitarization of the front lines, ukrainian neutrality resolution of territorial disputes between russia and ukraine

. security guarantees and the listing of sanctions against russia. druggie has also said that there's a need to ask how to build peace and ukrainian officials have repeatedly accused german chancellor, olaf shoulds of dragging his feet on fledged weapons, supplies, pre crane, all free leaders talk, talk about russia publicly, but have to also be aware of the harmful impacts that anti russian sanctions are having on the increased daily living costs for says, for the citizens of their own countries. european union had the ability to help prevent this conflict at the very outset by refusing to play along with washington's agenda of rationing out tensions with russia and ukraine. and it still has the ability to alter its course in favor of peace. but will it sees the opportunity to do so, or just continue to serve as an enabler? john, as president, she jan ping assigned an order to strengthen the country's military preparedness

that comes amid rising tensions over time. one. the order consists of a hefty 15 articles to come into effect in just 2 days, to quote, safeguard national sovereignty and regional stability. earlier, thomas defense ministry said the country would fight to prevent the island of taiwan from seceding from bishop. 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 he separatists, to split taiwan from the motherland. the chinese military will resolutely safeguard national security and territorial integrity. the defense ministry has also allege that the u. s. a stirring up tensions in the region, creating an atmosphere of quote, conflict and confrontation, beijing se washington should rather work to improve relations between the countries . after the biden administration launched the initiative last month to strengthen

american economic ties in the indo pacific region with more than a dozen countries, but china was excluded. earlier. i talked to independence specialist on china, andrew lung, who talked about a chinese military posturing. this nothing with parents as the military operations a so all you know, who is getting a personal and also installation of equipment and also military assets ready in case that will result because there was tension. this is the 1st time that beijing has these kind of guidelines, but this time it is very significant. warning the united states not to pull out the promise all the one china principal. because the whole though, the united states, i keep on saying that the owner,

the one time principal on the other hand of united states and seem to be doing all sorts of things i'm trying to hold well, this is so i to promote on independence. i can know the story we're across today and a tele newspaper has compiled a list of individuals. it saves are involved in so called russian propaganda. it's published, as you can see, their, their names on their photos, the article in korea, dela, sarah claims 10 individuals among them reporters, as well as a professor at the university. and a senior at diplomatic official are part of a quote pro. next work ain't and influencing political discourse that we heard from an italian photographer shock to find himself on the list. i'm a little guess of, of, of the korea della said is publication is something awful. because all those who are mentioned in the article are being accused of spreading fakes and supporting

what they call russian propaganda. besides that, it doesn't offer any kind of an example of evidence which supports their statements . i am being accused of pro russian political propaganda. but what proof of this allegation do they have? i spoke directly to their deputy director fiorenza ciriani, who co authored the article i asked her for evidence for at least one example of misinformation which i have ever spread during my career. and she failed to provide any i told her that the allegations made by the newspaper against me are very serious. the problem is that at the moment we are being compromised among people who follow such newspapers as korea, dela santa people are being discouraged against listening to our news and opinions . and it's a real outrage. the thing is that not a single italian newspaper, a tv channel, asked for an interview with us. archie is the only channel which got the idea to call me and ask for my opinion about the situation. in fact, i have never been an unequivocal advocate for russia. i'm just doing my job by

reporting what i see. i had already been following the conflict for 8 years and all these years i had a clear view of who was the aggressor. i saw that it was the ukraine which started the policy of aggression against the russian speaking population of dumbass. i would also add that unfortunately in the last 2 years, russia was somewhere in the vicinity. and that somehow served as a constraining factor to avert reprisals against these people. i kept doing my job . i completed my last mission in april, during which i recorded everything that i encountered, interviewed people. and now i can't figure out how it is possible that my professional view has been rejected in italy. italians continue to vehemently opposed the italian government's decision to send arms to ukraine. the latest polls show that 60 percent of italians are openly against these arms deliveries and favor a diplomatic solution to this conflict. over all the majority of italians are tired of following the war, they show ever less interest in war related news. many italians have become thinking more about their pastime going to the beach,

considering this war to be something alien to their lives. and just finally, us western brands leave russia on mass and protest over the conflict in ukraine. the fate of many companies here remains on certain after 3 decades in russia. mcdonalds has so let's franchises, which have just reopened under a new name, tasty, full stop. our t charlotte gibbons k, visited one of the restaurants to take a look at the changes and perhaps even simple walsall offer. it's probably the most popular opening of a restaurant. well since it originally opened in the 1990 s. and this is what they've been waiting for, the return of the big well, they spoke a new name is tasty. ho, stop. and it's pretty much what you'd expect from the old franchise. bought of you, director general says it will be different. we are completely different, but all the assets have been sold. thoughts filled up. when you buy up until you've

seen medics on them, what is new wildfire assessment? the bus crosspost to create a completely new front and unprecedented. ha, thank russia. of which we successfully managed to do, we don't have any relationship to the confessional. mcdonalds announced last month that it was pulling out of russia. the american big food join made a huge hu hall saying it could no longer stay in the country because it was no longer companionable with its own values as a result of the war in ukraine, however, it is keeping expulsions, and the company has the right buyback these franchises, within the next 15 years as well, for least friday model looks completely exit the thrush market, and not only is a formal corporate business model. so also punches he's stopped working international sol mazda in forest loans, a will get

a general screen. cynthia station airport. so can you see a little more forceful according to over? my eyes are closed, are equal to fight those 40 percent on. but i am with us this some say's a sewing of russian resistance to sanctions and western businesses leaving new home growing companies, taking over despite highlighting its losses. mcdonalds hasn't moved away empty handed and there is this new name changed, but the one question that everybody wants to know is does it still have that taste that they love so much? i'm your cause, it seems to me that the taste is even a bit better. i wish you'd, i'd like mary glad that mcdonald has returned to russia, but exactly mazda 3 decades ago. i stood in the same to you when mcdonalds 1st opened home. i was a student, do you belong to them yet? i think the new restaurant.
