crate should give, negotiate a piece, or should it fight on indefinitely? and what is nato's end again? what does winning mean? meanwhile, despite sanctions, russia is creating political facts on the ground. with my piercing, postpone 5th feature, the st. petersburg international economic form for one hour because of massive cyber attacks. and all the crew reports from the front lines of the federal don. yes, chemical plant to the luke guns republic, where foreign mercenaries find themselves trapped to long find thousands of ukrainian soldiers. the coil companies blamed by the u. s. president for inaction pushed back against his call to ramp up production, saying that he himself previously encouraged to shift from folk who feels with

welcome. this is nancy international with the latest world news and of course, covering the 3rd and final day of the st. petersburg international economic forum and thanks for joining us. one of the world's biggest, most important business events, the st. petersburg international economic form. thanks. it's the day in russia's northern capital, they see the form is held under the slogan, new opportunities in a new world. ah, no news just in for you, the russian president vladimir putin has had to postpone his speech for one hour off to a massive cyber attack on the international forum systems. other than that we expect . he will be speaking of the most part, and pressuring issues that facing russian, that the russian economy very, very soon will take you live to st. petersburg. and when that happens, ah, that works. member south africa is considering importing oil from russia to

mitigate surging fuel prices. sky rocketing energy costs have hit the economy hard on the countries minister of minerals and energy now says buying russian crude could provide a lasting solution. speaking to the countries parliament in cape town, he blamed anti russian sanctions for the global increase in energy prices. solutions solutions, loveless, now, was then kind of reminded that economy of war day of unleashed, disproportionate in beth. so the router and gunners let go us and then respond to that. as a kinder, we must respond to that is a can not be emotional if need be. if need be. talking to deborah no decor photo directly. we should consider important kudos from pleasure at a low price. but it's by been pressured by the west to fine up to the

sanctions. most african nations remain unwilling to give moscow called so shoulder south africa also abstain from voting for a un resolution condemning russia's military operation in ukraine. and the country has continued strong economic cooperation with moscow, director general on the south african institute of economic research and innovation told r t, from the sidelines of the spy. a form that working with russia is his country's best option. currently, south africa is confronted a rating rate of inflation driving the prices higher is a big component of that is the cost of fuel for commonly known facts. south africa has no real oil resources. to that extent, it is dependent on influence. we also have challenges with electricity, but just sticks, etc. but the order is all wrong, natural resources that are not available to that extent, south africa has to diversify. we cannot remain solely dependent on the

transnational corporations that card to supply. it has to act on behalf of its people, not in terms of the interest of the owners of those companies. it's also important to realize south africa is also investing in renewables and of angel terms. but those have not come on line. into the extent it's still necessary for south africa to utilize fuel. it has to look at how best it can receive and working with others make sense. from $1000000.00 deals to chance meetings on the sidelines will make sure you don't miss amendments that not to be st. petersburg international economic forum all week long. ah. okay. moving on. we start in the low gowns republic city of several don. yes. square foreign mercenaries. i believe to be trapped alongside ukrainian soldiers in a local chemical plant, according to various estimates up to 2 and

a half 1000 troops has stuck in the industrial zone, russian and allied forces they, they've taken control of most of the city except for the assault plugs why care forces blew up a contain a later with chemicals at the end of may, i move local officials of cool to provocation and crime against civilians are, sees ecos, dawn, our reports from the front line. behind me you can see the black plumes of smoke. they are rising from the azores plant. there's about $800.00 may be meters to the positions of the ukrainian forces. in fact, were the only news crew to go this far deep into the territory of the town of several. the nets, in fact, may be only about 7 to 8 days ago. here were the ukrainian positions, but they had to fall back. now it's under the control of the russian forces, but you can clearly hear by the ambience, if i may say so, the fighting is very much intense. mm. yesterday we agreed on

a cease fire, the chemical plant. we went to hell rescue civilians and then the ukrainians took out a tank and started shooting at us. and a fight again broke out. when i was there yesterday, ukraine didn't want stop firing morters. it fight is anal panicking. you can hear so on the walkie talkies. they want the vital to and we can hear it in their voices . paula, we were. we're thrilled with from 80 and they fire to their own troops and an a tank move to shell our positions. it was a typical scenario. ukraine moving to a strategic place to make it look like we were doing the shooting. but we were actually standing there with white flags. the i lot of mercer's, they're mostly british. much of the food and dry ration says from britain and poland amid all this may, hm. hundreds of civilians are scattered around the towns basements and shelters. this one harbours around 20 people whose neighboring houses were destroyed by the ukrainians. they say, look, still a go. is like

a yeah yet and looking below it you by me in my leaky don't see he shouldn't kill is freshening 8th he so let, let me. e g, a needy grants and lea a unique each year. they were, he didn't number j sticky still, you know, and this used to be a music academy over several minutes used to be what it used to be to was renovated and you can still see in the details the amount of money and effort put into this place, but it is no more the ukrainians shouldered, burning at andrews effectively rendering useless when they did so. up to 60

civilians were sheltering here from the bombardments, but still more much of it when russia special aberration began, ukrainian troops immediately entered our city. they placed their armored vehicles in residential areas, drove round and started firing the south, and our soldiers came in, the ukrainians, retreated, and then the bomb does smashed us from our basements. we could see crane and tank shooting at our houses. these people beg of one thing to help them escape this hell . in the end, we'll leave with a ward of handwritten notes. it's phone numbers and messages they'd like us to pass to their loved ones in russia. i'm a gosh, darn of reporting from several. the netscape artsy and unnatural public. the capitalist now suffering a 10th day of continuous ukrainian artillery shelling with officials saying western made how it says a being used to bombard schools, hospitals, and residential areas,

and how it says attack war. more lives have been lost on yes, were public official say more than a 100 civilians have die in almost a 1000 have been wounded in the last 4 bloody months and the republic among them a 6 year old girl who died in the shelling almost 2 months ago ah for them open it up. here it is. the sport, the rocket landed. these are the cassettes that were filled with all sorts of fragments. and there were 2 cars parked here and the explosions, right. between numbers there. and she was at the epicenter right in front of these 2 causes. i looked out from the steps and she was just lying that i called to, i thought maybe she lost consciousness from the blow boxes. and at the last moment she moved her legs on and i thought she was alive. fuel began to flow from the cause towards her legs, and then everything began to bon yup. and i yelled from my husband and ran out,

picked her up by her jacket. and quickly ran with her twice entrance in that in the entrance. she took 2 breath and then she was gone. ah, she was very cheerful and kind gone. she many friends in kindergarten children still ask about her. my youngest one says, generally afraid to will come yard when we go for a walk. so my so was not to see at all what the new it is gone was our son. i saw him. it's very hard to live with allies to hold a i see needing, she know, she said, boy need see, i mean,

i the you promises more lethal arms to ukraine. a france is need a pleasure to deliver 6 more how it says during a meeting between the french, german, italian, and we're mania needed with president for lansky in key f. people. she won't, we will continue to deliver military equipment. in particular, caesar artillery cannon trucks, which will enable ukrainian soldiers to defend themselves more effectively against attacks by the russian army on ukrainian soil. was such deliveries as seen as not as significant as a new 1000000000 dollar package of weapons from the u. s. that was approved earlier this week and promising to deliver guided missiles for he mars rocket launchers. with a farley, $28.00 countries, nato members mainly are engaged in sending military supplies to ukraine, which include sophisticated arms, conventional arms such as artillery, anti aircraft, and anti tank weapons. ahmed vehicles, helicopters,

and war. one of those countries, greece provide for the air tanks, assault rifles, and portable rocket launchers is, is occurring as the head of the greek community in the city of mario. paul oakley, asks athens nazi, provide ukraine with any weapons move. most of it is that it's for, can you imagine how we felt sitting in a basement seen their own supposed defend treatise. i'm sure they bombed our greek settlement. one of them was showing a video on his phone, boasting look who bombed your village. i would very much like perhaps with your help to appeal to the greek people, the government and peace ministers to everyone. so that the years we don't want war was that we want peace. we want greece to hear us and not help the americans send weapons to ukraine, because with these weapons, they kill greek people. here. greece couldn't get us out, but at least they could stop supplying people with the arms that are killing us. what's that mean? while ukraine's representatives are still vowing to fight until the victorious end,

raising concerns from both the e. u and american politicians with white house officials saying the conflict should have a diplomatic solution. president joe biden has also urged his subordinates to tone that desire to weaken russia and see its defeat, fearing is increased the risk of direct confrontation with moscow. earlier, we spoke to russia's deputy ambassador to the united nations, dimitri polanski. he believes that he knew delegation to care was also seeking a resumption of peace talks amid a growing demand within the block. there was a lot of, lot of push for them to go for these 3 leaders. they were pretty much expected in here, and they are expected also for exercise some influence on non presidents landscape. not only to provide arms to this country, but also to help you to engage in meaningful consultations, new countries,

including those of their leaders to keep the local it will be controversial statements. again, they're very pretty from the leader and statements. we got some of them. the other hand, there is bigger and bigger demands in these countries in the countries from the population of their rulers, this turmoil, economic turmoil that isn't braces, european countries more and more and 2 solutions. so these are crisis which is becoming a given security crisis and it's quite clear that says all the, all the 3 of these crisis. so i think that the leaders came to bear in mind. the moods in the capitals are quite different and there is more and more demands for finding a peaceful solution. for this crisis, the vice president has been accused of playing blame games when it comes to us

energy prices with florida governor. wrong. the santa stressing that he needs to take responsibility for his incompetence. he needs to take responsibility or was trying to blame of a people. he's always trying to create a scape goat. went off, we find it has also been slammed by a big oil companies off the he requested they ramp up production to tackle gasoline prices of almost double since last year. however, the industry response wasn't exactly what the white house wanted to hear. while we appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the white house, the administration's misguided policy agenda, shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas has compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds to companies. daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while reducing emissions. longer term government can promote investment through clear and consistent policy that supports us resource development, such as regular and predictable. lee sales, as well as streamlined regulatory approval and support for infrastructure such as

pipelines. earlier biden said, big oil in action had nullified his administration's efforts to soften inflation. but the company's claim, it is the u. s. president himself, who was radically shifted the focus from all production to green energy. it now tries to move the blame to them. record wising inflation has coincided with a rise and distrust in binding with pre will ratings falling to rec, or lowe's over the last 3 weeks. i think correspondent caleb more pin, gives us more on the dispute. working families across america are feeling the crunch of the rising energy costs, the high gas prices. so now we have white house coming forward with a letter directed it oil companies in america, urging them to an oil production border to drive the prices down and take the burden of the high cost off of americans that are frustrated with the rising costs . here is what the white house said in their letter to crunch it,

families are facing, deserves immediate action. your company's need to work with my administration to bring forward concrete, near term solutions that address the crisis and respect the critical equities of energy workers in fence lying communities at a time of war. historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto american families are not acceptable. now, oil companies will come forward and said the white house simply does not understand the industry. and they can't simply increase the amount of output this easily. it's not a matter of simply pushing a button or, or pulling a knob that there are complex issues in arranging how much oil production is amped up or slow down. now many have also taken note of some statements made by the white house press secretary. she came forward and said that it is the patriotic duty of companies to amp up production. this is what she said. oh, we'll companies, they have oil refineries. they have responsibility to what they have been doing is

taking advantage of the war. and as i showed earlier, they have tripled. triple their, their, their income contract, we have done our part with the, to, to, to petroleum reserve, the one the 1000000 a day for the next 6 months. and so we need them to act that oil companies find these statements to be particularly ironic as the policy of the white house has been pretty clearly to phase out the fuel. they are taking the opportunity of the high energy costs to push electric cars, add new energy vehicles and other, other mechanisms that don't use fossil fuels. they want to get rid of fossil fuel. so at the same time, the white house is actively trying to phase the states off the fossil fuels reduce the amount of fossil fuels united states use as they are now calling on oil companies in the name of patriotism to amp oil reduction. many are looking at this as a great example of the erotic and not well thought out nature of the,

by the ministrations policies when it comes to the energy sector. pakistan is struggling with natural gas and electricity prices, which is located at 45 percent of the last month alone. the government is supposed to continuously raise prices to meet international monetary fund requirements. the countries finance minister blames the former government and global inflation for the christ. if any packets on planning minister was heavily criticized. also telling the nation to drink less tea to help save on import costs. here's what people think of the deteriorating situation. lot been dangelo. just forget about having me 3 times a day. i wish to eat at least 2 times a day, but even that's impossible, right now. it's terrible. a poor person can survive in these conditions. no show you what it is. no electricity, which has leaf the soap and sit here because there is no customer visiting fuel. prices have affected everything, including our business or what all the household double. prices have increased to

100 percent. we pull people, we can't do anything. the one sacrifice in this way, we'll die one day. there is no solution. her father, we spoke to the russian ambassador to pakistan who hopes to come to any comic agreement with the government's. we're in touch over the issues of buying wheat or energy resources under the previous administration. oh, in wrong hon. and we're still in contact with lee. my cosign is out today. i wouldn't like to review the exact details of the ongoing negotiations. do not compromise them, but i can tell you that we are negotiating in good faith. i think that both sides are interested in achieving and mutually beneficial deal. we need

to proceed. they need our products. and i think, i hope that we will come on to some agreement as wanted to be 2020 because in debt there were year the piece dining side spent $212000000.00 on russian wheat. and that was approximately one 4th of the total trade turnover for that year. as the u. s. looks for human rights violations worldwide. it seems that it's failed to fully investigate its own well and perpetrating such abuses in yemen. that's according to a congressional watchdog report. ortiz, my dance, df reports a quarter of a 1000000 deaths. later, the united states still hasn't been able to figure out whether the $60000000000.00 of weapons that supply the saudi arabia will used to kill innocent people. in fact,

the united states openly admits they didn't even bother to try to find out there have been reports of extensive civilian harm in yemen. however, d o, d has not reported and state could not provide evidence that had investigated incidents of potential unauthorized use of equipment transferred to saudi arabia or united arab emirates. joe biden came to power promising to wind america's role in the blood buff that these yemen, than to stop supplying saudi arabia with all the bombs and missiles they wanted. he promised to stop supplying offensive weapons. everyone cheered and clapped and celebrated. and that was that, except who's to tell what an offensive or defensive weapon is. how's that for a new poll u. s. military training mission officials told us that all of the equipment, the u. s. cells through f m. s to saudi arabia must be for defensive purposes in

accordance with the arms control export act. however, these officials could not provide a definition for equipment that is defensive in nature when we asked how they distinguish between equipment used for defensive purposes and equipment used for offensive purposes. there are some weapons p g m. so precision guided munitions, for example, hooked to jets and used for as strikes, very offensive. what the u. s. government did to avoid heavy scrutinise, sell the missiles in parts, thereby by possible the bureaucracy. we didn't sell them a missile, they claim we sold them pots and with instructions on how to put them together, all hands are keen. the state department had been selling p gm's in component parts, so that each individual transfer fell below the threshold, requiring congressional approval. over the last 8 years. saudi arabia has made something of a habit of launching air stripes at big gatherings, so weddings and funerals and market places. plenty of times who the rebels in yemen

have found the remains of us supplied munitions at the scenes. rockets and missiles bombs made in america, yet somehow the united states has been unable to do the same. it turns out if you don't even try, you won't find anything wrong. centcom officials told that they do not know how d o d security cooperation officials in saudi arabia and u e would obtain the information necessary to determine whether u. s. origin defense articles were used in yemen by saudi arabia, r, u e, against anything other than legitimate military targets, such as civilians or civilian infrastructure. this was a brief summary on how to wash your hands of all culpability. for one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world for 8th long years. it isn't particularly brilliant or slides just bold, an somewhat shameless, but really shameless is all for doing all of this. then coming out and demanding

accountability from others, or even saying so. but saying you'll hold them responsible we have, i have a long history of a relationship, a saudi arabia, one where we raise issues, where we have significant concerns on human rights and on a range of issues and one where we have had a long security relationship that has been in the interest of the united states. i in terms of this, it is specific strike and a reaction. obviously any time there's a loss of life, of innocent lives as i was a tragedy and we are, we are mindful of that focused on that. we and many other organizations have been saying that it's really impossible to have celebrate debate the olympic games at a time when the country. busy is committee so many human rights abuses, particularly in sin, gen, reports of russia's human rights abuses and violations of internationally.

mandatory law are melting by the hour. there is, of course, nothing new in this. the united states and nave, who have done to the world what they wield these past 3 decades. and no one could do a thing about it. went down to valley can human in lay writes low essays, washington doesn't think international law applies to the you, bass. the u. s. has made sure that it would never be held accountable. right. the u . s. is not a member of the international criminal court. it is, in fact, sanctioned the international criminal court. when it said it was going to investigate the u. s. for crimes in an afghan to stand the u. s. under george w bush actually passed the law that said the u. s. could bomb the hey, give the icpc did investigate the u. s. u. s. is made sure the international law does not apply to the united states. it does not care about the humanitarian cause of the tours of the u. s. knew all along it back, samantha power, who was instrumental in making sure the u. s. would not be investigated or crime in

the end. and she herself, years ago, predicted that millions of p. m. and could die due to the war. but that didn't change her course of action didn't change the u. s. course of action and it won't because they don't care. the from breaking news. burton's home secretary has all to be extradition of julianna's songs to the us. whether we can expand a face is up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges. there was a blow is organization says they will appeal against his extradition in the u. k. high court countries, home office is a decided to extra to songs based on decisions by british course. many thanks for joining us, have on our international will be back at the top of the with the very latest. se, then the

ah, a full ah ah,

i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such short or is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust, rather than fear with on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with obama protective phone existence with ah,

[000:00:00;00] with hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . just what exactly is the west policy approach on ukraine should give, negotiate a peace, or should it fight on indefinitely? and what is ne toes, any game? what does winning mean? meanwhile, spite sanctions brushes creating political facts on the ground. with cross stocking, a crane, i'm joined by my guess the voice of mileage in washington. he's a blogger and collin, this in like jackson, we have daniel mcadams. he's the executive director of the ron paul institute for
