when so many find themselves will to part, we choose to look for common ground. with a russian pock force is i q is ukraine of disrupting a key evacuation route from c ever been yet by violating us far within an hour of an opening. also ad on the program with the screening president and his officials will have to negotiate with russia. we, as europeans, sharing one continent and russia will remain part of it in that speech in front of nato troops. frances leader, it goes on to describe russia as a strong power, as he called for key have to negotiate with moscow to reach a b. nato itself,

steps up the rhetoric within stilton berg pledging long range rockets to keep on saying ukraine must switch to the alliances weaponry instead of its current. somebody theoretician, thousands of high profile participants gather in russia's northern capital for the st. petersburg international economic forum, which kicked off this with career counseling the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow into the news round up an rti international. i'm getting o'neil. don't boss forces have accused ukraine of disrupting a crucial humanitarian corridor that the russian military is established in the embattled city of. busy 0 vignettes, ukrainian troops allegedly violated a ceasefire near the corridor. within an hour of the opening. the ukrainian

military taken up positions in a chemical plant in the city. western media outlets report that $500.00 civilians are also inside the factory and would be able to flee via the back. you ation root lew ganske. authorities though say there's doubled other soldiers and civilians in the facility there being forcibly hell to deter a potential incoming attack. the solely one civilian managed to flee the plant. he was unaware of the car door being opened a residence of the done yes. republic have been living in fear of the like a 6 supplies and continuous fighting are corresponding among cost drift. he's been helping those in need and sent us this report from a local church where people have taken shelter from relentless shelling attacks. this fragile road has to be vast. a gradient position are only 600 meters away from where we are. so we're driving on this dirt road right now as fast as we

can get across to vision. this is our 2nd visit to the ne calls came on us 3, or we brought some more humanitarian aid food medicine, hygienic items, just for at least 300 people that are here in the, on the 3 at the moment. so all these things are going to go pretty quickly. oh, go sold me that it's very loud here today as ukrainian artillery a shilling continuously. but still, if sophia, they are constantly shelling the, sat from that at least twice a day and with many shouts. to me, a family was almost kellen, mom of such incident, but they to cover in the basement informative because it actually didn't bothered me wrong combos. and asking them to learn who levels i asked him to live with them for me. and i used to lie here

a little early for you got on the proposal for much if sure. why not? not going to do as we were leaving the shelling intensified, the priest, blessed us and said she hopes that we will soon return. we hope that we will find all these people safe and sound and the life romano culture of our d. no nest people's republic. frances president has affirmed, but russia is a quote, strong power unsafe that ukraine must negotiate with moscow to restore peace on the continent. me little bit jealous, ukrainian president and his officials will have to negotiate with russia. we as europeans share one continent and russia will remain part of it. russia is a strong power. therefore, i have never greet with an approach,

according to wish would stop in war with russia today and sick to destroy tomorrow . it's not the 1st time that i'm on the one micron house call for negotiations with russia. and he suffered a barrage of criticism for it from ukraine and other eastern european countries. for nato members, germany hungry in italy have also supported efforts for a peace agreement in all the head of nato. i said he's confident that member states will assist. keep in transitioning from solve it here . arms to modern nato equipment emphasizing that ukraine needs more heavy weaponry . yen stoughton briggs remarked, came ahead of a meeting between the blocks defense ministers in brussels. ah, laws are committed to continue providing the military recruitment that ukraine needs to prevail, including heavy weapons and long range systems. i expect that the summit

nato allies will agree, a comprehensive assistant package for ukraine, helping ukraine for the longer term to transition from solid or equipment to morgan. nathan equipment, it was one of the things that he brought up, but he also talked about this being a dangerous world and said that nato needed to be stronger as a result of that. and he said, for the 1st time since the cold war, that there would be preassigned forces for nato's eastern flank. when pressed on that he said they would be brigade size, were talking about $5000.00 troops at the maximum that could go quickly to be deployed to some of these eastern flank countries. and he said that putins goal in ukraine was much bigger than ukraine. he said that it been clear when nato allies, it met to russia, aiden early of this year, where they had basically said that what they wanted to see was that nato infrastructure. and also troops that had been placed in countries of joined the

block after $997.00 would be removed and he said, no, this shows that we need to be strong in this case. but when there was that discussions about ukrainian military, he was saying, you know, apart from the fact that there would be this emergency plan that would be put in place at the summit at the end of june in madrid, that the emergency needs of ukraine would be dealt with later yet on the backdrop to all this, of course is key, as i suppose, relentless is the best word for it. insistence that they need more more weapons from the wares. how's that going down? yeah, that's right. the list keeps getting longer. whether that's armored vehicles, tanks or other sorts of heavy weaponry ukraine keep saying we need more and more. asked alton berg was asked about the fact that ukraine says it's only received some 10 percent of what it's been promised. he didn't really address that directly, but reiterated the line that we've heard over and over, that nato has given unprecedented support to ukraine. but it's not just to stop him book that that question has been asked at one us official seemed pretty exasperated

when also asked with enough weapons had been given or the ukrainians correct. to complain that nato allies are not serious enough about providing them the weapons, they say they need. i think the nato allies, individual narrow allies have been extremely responsive in recent months. the list that they gave us early on in the conflict looks very different from the list that we're talking about. now. we were heavily focused in the beginning on air defense. we're talking about a heavy rocket artillery. we have shifted the conversation. we've talked about armored vehicles. now ukraine has said the reason it needs to have more weaponry and more nato style weapons is because it needs to have parity with russia. but some are concerned that that really would tip the balance in ukraine's favor. now

our reports are earlier, kim, i and i think i called a lot of people's i, charlotte, because it alleged that ukrainian soldiers were getting western arms faster than they could actually learn how to use them. it raises a lot of questions. it does need to says it's been training ukrainian forces since 2014, and that not just the training, but the ongoing maintenance of any sort of equipment it gives you. crane is important. and what was highlighted recently is the fact that javelins that was sent from the us to ukraine apparently turned up without any customer support being available. essentially. meaning that when the technology went wrong, which apparently it did on the field, that essentially they couldn't use them. the banks this question, 1st of all, our ukranian troops were ready to receive western star weapons. and if they are, why wouldn't at be this tech support available? or we heard from former pentagon security policy analyst, michael maloof, who believes the u. s. doesn't to have the capacity to provide weaponry to ukraine

at the current pace. as, as european countries provide these weapons, they expect backfill from the united states. and the united states in turn, has its own limited supplies. and in order to meet those demands on any persistent basis from here on out, which then raises the question, what is u. s. policy toward ukraine? ultimately, the u. s. is going to have to shift it's production to a more war war time production. if it's going to be prolong in this conflict, and before the conflict arose, we dangle these, these little, these toys, these exotic toys to them and come to depend upon it, but are not sufficiently trained. there was no way the united states was going to be able to sufficiently supply and prolonged the supply

train indefinitely without running into this very problem. and you have no assurance. the bottom line is you have no assurance that those rockets are not going to be pulled up to the border and fired into russia and created and create a whole new level of escalation that we did not anticipate. and that's what kirby was saying. well, it's up to the great inside. they want to use the equipment. well, wait a minute. they're going to get you into a further war. if that, if you don't have limitations or if you can supply the stuff without conditions. and i think that germany is at odds with even stolen berg. and his approach there is, there are cracks in the, in the nato solidarity if you will. and i think germany has been much more cautious given the politic politics of the current chancellor. i think that they take the lead in the direction that nato countries are going to be going. mexico,

as president, has slammed nato's policy towards the ukraine conflict, calling it a moral. it comes just days after he refused to attend the u. s. hosted summit for the americans because washington refused to invite several other countries in the region. i'll supply the weapons and you supply the dead. it's immoral. how easy it is to say here, i'll send you this much money for weapons. couldn't the war in the ukraine have been avoided? of course have could. mexico earlier said it wouldn't send arms to ukraine on refuse to sign up the sanctions against russian under as manuel lopez, abra dora has advocated for dialogue as the best way to resolve the conflict of mexico is leading. the latin american charge against us had gemini after washington exclude a cuba, venezuela. nicaragua, hold free the subject of us sanctions from the summit for the americas.

historically, the us has been central america's top trading partner, but is not facing a new challenge from china. we spoke with a coordinator for the cuba and bennett willis sala dorothy committee, sees the area is now actively demonstrating more opposition to us. dominance i believe is more than just cuba, venezuela. and you can either posing problems for us at gemini, even though a good number of the nations of latin america attended the summit of exclusion of bivens. they still announced and declared in the summer they were not happy with what was taken place. and it's a warning, it's a warning from argentina, from other leaders who said, you cannot continue this. the fact that the u. s. was hosting the summit of the americas, did not give it the right to decide who belongs mexico with love is saying, now we speak as a latin american nation as

a latin american nation on behalf of all of latin america and the caribbean. and why look over as the most significant figure refused to attend the summit of the americas. that will probably have some repercussion. but i think what's happening in latin america and even in the rest of the 3rd world, countries are saying we don't want to be bullied anymore. and we will act in concert with each other to coordinate more together economically, politically and reject us had gemini, which doesn't bring any good to those countries. vladimir putin has discussed food security issues with south africa as president and a full call that focused on rushing green and fertilizer supplies to the content. big issue right now, the 2 leaders call for increased trade as well within the bricks framework, reiterating china's on the block is

a vital force for regional economic growth just to go through the bricks. at grouping consists of 5 countries, brazil, russia, india, china, in south africa, and is considered a symbol of a rising multi polar world. as its members seek to increase economic cooperation among one another. a prominent russian official bricks delegate says, pointed to the contrast between its approach and none of the west. that is for me, a woman's not done yet, but i brace is a stabilizing factor in an increasingly turbulent world. the brakes partnership isn't the aim against anyone. unlike the u. s. u k and their allies briggs, countries don't stick to impose upon others. a world order based on rules invented by the west. i'm convinced the bricks should play a leading role in resolving global issues. go up by the gas prices in europe, helping surging on the news that rushes to stop using a crucial turbine for the nord stream pipeline hindering a key compression station. it's happening because western sanctions prevented other

quick maintenance work. moscow say russia and it'll cut supplies volume of the station in question to no more than 67000000 cubic meters per day. let's go through what that means. at europe has been increasingly vulnerable to gas supply disruptions, as russia has also cut off recipient companies and poland bulgaria. because they refuse to pay for the commodity in roubles, as requested. moscow stays russia has how to reduce gas sent to your via the nord, streamlined by 40 percent of what was previously plump german company. siemens energy has failed to deliver repaired gas turbines to russia on time, due to western functions. due to the sanctions imposed by canada, it is currently impossible for seamans energy to deliver over whole gas turbines to the customer. against this background, we have informed the canadian and german governments and working on a viable solution. well, last week,

canada expanded its list of sanctions against russia, charging the oil, gas and chemical industries. it hampered the return of t turbines that are manufactured in canada must be sent there on a regular basis for maintenance. the lights been sent to european gas prices soaring into the double digits. we spoke to political hours. alessandra bruno, we say european people are the ones who want the situation to be resolved as soon as possible, because it's affecting them the most. i think canada might allow for the turbines eventually to get back to germany. but will the turbines be then sent to russia? that's a very difficult question to answer. and this is one of the few ways they can put some pressure. because of course, we've seen the other effects have been completely in russia favor. i believe russia has never had such revenues from gas because europe is increasing its import ahead of the fall where they feel are going to be

losing as not having enough supply. so the, there's a sewage of demand russian gas. so and germany, i'm sure would like for the, for the situation to be resolved because germany and italy, the 2 big, most largest industrial powers in europe are the ones that will suffer the most from this situation. not following jury a. suspending a cooperation treaty with spain, madrid has claimed that russian influence was behind the decision and those have to be guy. so back than that, algeria was more and more aligned with russia. so this decision to suspend the treaty didn't surprise me in the all jeer, suspended, the friendship and cooperation, creepy after 2 decades, going as far as to bon, all, none guessed trade, not submit. escalating tensions between algeria,

morocco over the disputed territory of western sahara with spain backing rebuffs claim to the land. algeria is one of madrid's main suppliers of natural gas, but last year shut off its pipeline supplies through morocco, leaving spain with just one direct link that it relies on for continued supply. the diplomatic grow between spain and all g re a ruptured when madrid made an abrupt you turn on sided with morocco in the long running conflict of a western, sorry the moves and shockwave throughout the jury government and stirred up tensions between the trading partners previously, madrid had been neutral on the conflict, but now openly support moroccan sovereignty over the contested area on africa's north west coast. we heard from a political, socio just 2 things that the facts, spain, as shows an. a aside in this is not conducive to resolving the conflict. governments in spain has made its choice. it does not want to have problems with a jury, but

a given the circumstances is shifting geo politics. they chose a different path with the frozen conflict. there's no other issues, there's no other solution so far that was deemed credible and possible, but the one that was suggested by the government and, and frankly speaking, i believe that even though spain has chosen that pat, i don't think that the conflict will be resolved anytime soon because it's still within the city council at the u. s. has been going on for decades now since the independence and mostly during the cold war with the of the logical alignment dungee with the east camp and morocco, the western camp. and no one really managed to be hit germanic in the region. so i think it's high time that both countries rethink this policy of competition and they will be stronger together. now while the u. s. no plans to send an additional $650000000.00 worth of military aid to ukraine. the united nations is

desperately calling for funding to prevent a potentially devastating oil spill off the coast of yemen. un member states have pledged to run 3 quarters of the $80000000.00 needed to remove an estimated 1000000 barrels of crude from a decaying tanker ship in the red sea to find the additional money. the u. n. has launched a crowd funding campaign hoping to collect at least $5000000.00 within a fortnight's time. a potential oil spill could cause an estimated $20000000000.00 in damages. the tank was built nearly 5 decades ago and subsequently converted into a floating storage facility. it hasn't undergone sufficient maintenance work since the yemeni civil war up to date, years ago. we heard from the international 1st specialist who said western countries really don't pay attention to problems far from the border to develop service. and that's according to the charter of the nation's environmental rights, became one of the fundamental flights of the human being before

a sample of some sort, some sort of real need to treat these environmental catastrophic issue, especially in the back seat. but now we see a lot of w and especially on the west and you and unfortunately it's multi rated by the dominic countries, especially us. that's an and frame. and for the middle east and the south country are not on there, they are just focusing on just a department that's near 5. they are folders, but if he's disregarding any other problems, away from their photos. and if you see also, we have a problem in palestine, we have a problem and we have a problem in libya, we have a problem. anyway, we have a problem. so now you and all of them made by the west, one of the world main economic forum. this house kicked off this wedding stay in

saint petersburg. it is russia's premier showcase of the country's investment potential. has gathered together thousands of guests from over a $140.00 countries for the 4 days that the well, the opening day has featured several delegates steeped in russian politics and economics . while the event overall has drawn attendees from across the world for a quarter of a century, now yet the birth is 25 today. focusing on innovations on investment opportunities . russian foreign ministry spokeswoman re as a heart of essays that especially this year the form of proof that western powers cannot isolate russia and the world stage. up with these deals of like what has the west gotten? they've isolated themselves from us, but it's impossible to isolate us. the west has cut off partnerships and mutually

beneficial cooperation, systematically destroying the entire fabric of our relations. yes, the west wants to cancel us to defeat us to dominate us. but at the same time, they want to coexist with us. they need to fix something within their values and basic principles, and develop a unified position that nobody, if they believe in their policy of canceling russia and restraining our country's development in accordance with that policy. then they are isolating themselves. the whole world is watching what's happening. asia, africa and the middle east are drawing their own conclusions about whether the west is a reliable partner. when russia is supposed to be boycotted by everyone in every possible aspect. well, that's what these people want. the new world order to be like the nation still goes for it. it goes for a hosting, a big international business gathering. it's called the st. petersburg international economic form. it's been happening every summer for 25 years.

$140.00 countries are taking part and it's always been a chance for russia's businessman and government officials to showcase rushes full potential and also laur investment. so what's happening this year? nobody's coming. and the st. petersburg rain. you know, it's famous, doesn't make it more pleasant. let's have a look at the venue. ah. well, the vibe is quite usual when you see all these bright coal monitors around you representing top russian companies. you always feel your part of something very promising, modern full of energy the main days of the form have not begun yet. okay. the leaders of the likes of france or japan are not coming even though they have taken

part in previous years. but mr. brewton is welcoming of the presidents of, for example, catholic, stan or armenia which are considered was as friends. and are part of a you raisin economic integration block, which has taken ties in the european union as an example. and in the times of embargoes and boy, cause russia's really counting on friends like that. it's in her common interest to stimulate trade and investment. encourage joint technology development, strengths and financial in stock markets increase the sheriff settlements and national currencies. it is important to introduce and develop truly mutual beneficial integration models, as it is already being done in the space of the ration economic union. right. a few seconds ago you heard vladimir putin mentioned something that's usually called d dollar rising, giving up the us dollar in transactions with rushes partners,

is something that's often widely discussed here in saint petersburg. the moto of this year's form is new world, new opportunities. that's exactly the essence of the event. russia is trying to turn sanctions, actually the effect of sanctions into new opportunities. the anniversary meeting is taking place at a difficult time for the entire international community. the long term stakes of western countries in economic policy and illegitimate sanctions have led to a wave of global inflation to the destruction of the usual logistics and production chains and to a sharp increase in poverty and food shortages. but as it happens, prospects open up along with challenges every here at the st. petersburg, international economic form, one country as awarded the status of a special privileged guest. and this year, it's the turn of egypt,

the land of the pyramids. the number one event at the form is happening on friday, june, the 17th that is called the plenary session. and this is where almost exactly 4 months after russia's operation in ukraine began. vladimir potent together was his counterparts, will weigh in on everything that happened around the world and in russia, in these 12 weeks, stay tuned in detroit this way and they will bring you the big takeaways and major developments from the foreign with day one up north, ny well underway, keep it here in our tea to ensure you don't miss a thing for now. good bye for me. but more programs are right ahead. they close ah. blue
