ah, a, with the head of the british army issues a rallying cry to troops telling them they need to be ready to face russia on the battlefield. more ahead to the west goes all out to tackle the rising energy prices with the u. s. now, urging not only its domestic oil and gas companies to increase production, but also opec countries. and as you commission recommends giving ukraine candidate status, some countries long on the fringes of membership fee, it purely as a move against russia. it's a matter of interest. ukraine is suitable for europe enough to be against russia. they especially want to do this in order to separate ukraine from russia's

patronage and expand nato's borders further. so that's it. there's nothing else to lay out. and with another civilian, killed into 2 more injured in ukrainian shelling of don. yes, we discussed the rise in civilian casualties with a french army veteran who fought for don yes. courses in 2015. the central finance is not part of the front line and when they constantly hit the civilian infrastructure, they will have the weapons. it should be cold terrorism. when every single day there are victims among civilians, they can only be cold at every state. with broadcasting lab, director studios and moscow, this is our t international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, the u. k. new army chief has warned that he will start preparing a force capable of beating russia. there is now a burning imperative to forge an army capable of fighting alongside our allies in

defeating russia in battle. we are the generation that must prepare the army to fight in europe once again. the statements of from the army general follow. last week's surprise visit by boris johnson's. forgive rhetoric then echoed by the nato chief of the british prime minister himself. and also the us. we must prepare for the fact that he could take years. we must not lit up in supporting ukraine, even if the costs are high, not only for military support, but also because of rising energy and food prices. i'm afraid we need to steal ourselves for a long war. time is the vital factor. everything will depend on whether ukraine can strengthen its ability to defend it soil, faster than russia can renew its capacity to attack. it's time to learn the lessons . nato must intervene. let's officially acknowledge this and order the russians to cease fire. the alliance must go beyond the framework or cease its activities. meanwhile, president biden has announced a 12th package of weapons for ukraine this time. excuse me, worth $1000000000.00,

that the russian foreign minister says that the west's goal is just to destroy russia. below they are trying to achieve what they have already announced a long time ago so that russia should know its place. russia has no right to its own voice in international affairs. russia must abide by the rules invented by the united states. that's all. and i think it's perfectly clear that they won't succeed . lauren douglas, communist party of britain committee member says that the west is escalating the conflict in ukraine any to escalate this war, i think is extremely dangerous. i think it indicates really just how unfit for face anybody using foreign policy development should know how to actually converse with 2 other leaders. and you know, we're not in a situation here where there is no race to the west from what's going on

here. and s device in situation potentially will, mike, it was not just for the people to pry it will potentially escalate and other countries in the war. and i think some of them is completely irresponsible here. and i think that you know, what they're doing, potentially, you know, could, could lead to nuclear annihilation. mutual assured destruction was the strategy that was adopted in the 1990s. i think, to the boston mass that, that's actually a whole new player. owns rice of which was predicated on the, by the schemes we now actually have western leaders. he walked countenance seeing the possibility of 1st use of nuclear weapons and you know, so we can talk in those terms. i think is dangerous. very, very dangerous. the statement comes with in the u. k. facing rising fuel prices

along with a hike in the cost of energy, housing, and food. gasoline sales have slipped 6 percent over the last 6 weeks in comparison with 2021. the latest indicator that record high pump prices are heard and consumers. meanwhile, the cost of diesel has increased even more significantly. many people in the west are claiming their leaders are interested in domestic politics focusing all their attention on ukraine. just yesterday, thousands of protesters went to london, demanding lower prices and higher salaries. they took to the streets with posters and flags demanding that the ruling conservative party and it's leader boys. johnson resigned local. think that the government is completely out of touch with its citizens. ah, with never work with touch with nice a concave. how about well

this government is petty co pay to co 8th grade day exploitative people cannot hang that bell. we will see in this country i will turn to 1989 and we will see can't pay, won't pay. it causes the pole. the extraction is finished. they run their property dry. we have nothing left to gave people who are in the home, me, children who are involved with benefits the law lives in a like a government is the greatest responsibility really for what's happening in this country at the moment. and is the reason why so many

thousands trogie in unison with me working cause people turned out to demonstrate, of course, it's not true to say that the war is the cold. the rising energy crisis because energy prices were already rising in the 21st century in the 6 richest country in the world. we've got wanting 5 people who are missing a meal. every died in faith, the children. we got one in 6 to rely upon food banks and on food donations in order to be able to survive. and these are people who are on the employees. many people who are working many of them watching several jobs learning profits. hi, i'm just no, i just thought in the current situation. energy costs doubled in april and everybody in the country has received an increase in the amount of high in the amount that they haven't to pay. so they gas and electricity say we're in a situation where people will have to choose between hating and eating. what we

have at the moment is that functions in the interest only if the one sent it is not functioning, asshole in the interest of the nonce, non country ah, the west goes all out to tackle the rise in energy prices. germany is going to use gas stored for winter as a russia cup supplies, while the us treasury secretary accepts it. sanctions against moscow strike back at washington. are these don quarter comments calling all oil and gas producers? it's time to flood the markets. at least that's what washington's hoping for. he's asking upon our domestic and international producers to produce more. it makes sense. joe biden has long been trying to rip the west away from one of its biggest energy suppliers, russia. today i'm announcing united states is targeting the main order of rush, the economy. we're branding all in ports of russian oil and gas energy. there will

be no longer on our stream to we, we will bring it in system management. different fact. europe didn't have to count on russian oil if they were energy independence, 400000000000 dollars of e u, sanction related losses. record breaking runaway inflation in the u. s. itself and washington's taking all this even further. it's recently slap sanctions against a number of chinese and m roddy companies doing business with a ran one of a few countries that might be able to counteract the rapidly rising global price of oil. but washington seems more interested in its maximum pressure campaign against iran. so oil prices saw a sudden sharp rise after that decision is just the latest episode and biden's series of sanctions that leave world wide pain and suffering in their wake. for those who had rather laugh and cry means comparing biden's. tragic tumble from his bicycle to the collapse of the economy. offer some sort of comic relief. others

though, just want the price of oil to go down. asian boys are hoping for a quick return of iranian supply to bring oil prices low amidst rising geopolitical tensions. i think of the united states responding to sylvia contrary, as they saw what happened that was happening. ready ukraine because all the schools that begin is that they could use this color maximum tasha and using that lol on. ready sanchez, could she be say without realizing that this is old? oh, really backlash on their own. he called me on their likelihood that he was likely. ready and on inflation to make matters worse, histories repeating itself as washington's demanding, the european union stopped buying natural gas from russia as well. reports are already saying berlin, for example, may be hoarding gas to prevent a disastrous winter. we must and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in the summer and full gas consumption must continue to full. so more

gas must be stored in storage, otherwise things will get really tight in winter. it's a come as no surprise that all these cons when says of the west's generosity towards ukraine have begun to change people's minds about the conflict. according to a poll, published by the european council on foreign relations, 35 percent of europeans are war weary and want to see a peace treaty signed with russia. only 22 percent want to see the war continue. that much is clear when you talk to the people on the streets of italy, for example, that mention that gasoline has an absurd price with 50 euros of gasoline. you can't fill the tank. now that i don't go out and i don't take the car and i go with the public transport, it is the only way for that. she's a gay with the subsidy that will be removed at the end of july. gasoline. price will reach $2.00 heroes and $0.50. there is no solution. we are in a catastrophe. no homeless company of politicians have not always been up to the task. we hope there will be a more substantial intervention and has become

a difficult situation. i don't drive the car anymore. i write a vesta. the european union's helmsman, no doubt, see the fatigued riding on the wall with the calls of its officials for key have to come to the negotiating table, getting louder and louder. french president emanuel macro on said key of will eventually have to negotiate even suggesting that ukraine might have to give up some of its territory a big no, no for ukrainian president, flawed of mere zalinski. it is absolutely necessary to speak to petition and i would continue to do so as the french president for also the and candidacy. it's up to ukraine to the side. we cannot decide the conditions for the end of the war instead of the ukrainians. all decisions are made by the quine and leda don't ship latino, double mall up. but if we need more help from our partners 1st to fall, we need weapons full supports. without any exceptions, had said beck's resist. every one quiz, stuck in 20th century. when nations interests were treated tooth is dictates us

appetites. at any rate, washington's insistence on putting politics ahead of common sense energy decisions might just see western economies take a harder tumble than bite and off his bike. and if this maximum pressure, campaign continues and around what effect you think that's going to have on east asian energy markets in spite of this is a way to, to other countries because there are no other way and, and pulse as far as the, the biggest cost on it, hold on the waiting with russia for a long time and sean does all see why it's long should be it. and the pressure are for. ready so that's why russia is dating why he's a. ready he's in all kinds of a,

so i think that we see a and a very complicated action. we action that kind of scenario. but at the end of the day i was seeing increasing the especially the wiring station. the con does the way, oh, why does equals engine you politicians are plunged into an internal crisis due to voter discontent with their actions and a perceived inability to compromise on the external policies. namely in italy, where members of the ruling, 5 star movement are at loggerheads over supply. and here with arms and in france, the incoming president is seemingly failing to get an absolute majority in a run off a vote for the lower house of parliament. the manual microns party is projected to receive up to 305 seats in the national assembly,

a number below that necessary for unconditional leadership. it is the 1st time in decades that a president has been unable to gain a parliamentary majority. mcclin's office believes the situation is hazardous and has promised to act, teach you as a jewish and unprecedented never before. has the national assembly experienced such a configuration under the vent republic? this situation constitutes a risk for our country. we will work to build a majority for action of the wall street journal report, ties this division to the crisis and ukraine and the high inflation that followed, placing the blame on russia's gas prices. and the addition also predicts that the same voting challenges might await germany and italy both due to hold elections within the year. earlier we spoke to your agent center executive vice president rasmussen, who believes that reducing confidence in government is due to anti rush of sanctions. backlash and negligence towards the population. think it was lithuania or sonia had a turn over. you had you got trouble in bulgaria right now. italy also is going to

travel and germany is going to get hit them. the worse sanctions that europe imposed had a dramatic impact. i think, aggravated a situation that was already is going to be challenging and very, very much aggravated. and it really has broken their economy. i mean, just stupid politicians making decisions that, that not considering the implications of those decisions at all. i also think that a lot of people who are, are really not pleased with the direction that the whole european is taking with the sanctions and, and what they're doing in that area as well. i, i, you know, you don't hear people talking about that, but they know that the decisions are impacting their lives and that the elite, the political really, really don't care about the average person. russia defense ministry says cruise

missile strikes have killed 50 high ranking ukrainian officers, including generals and ukraine's denise pro pit thrust region. moscow says the strike occurred while a working meeting of ukrainians strategic commanders was taking place. russian officials have also said that some ukranian units have fled to don bass. combat areas due to bad morale, poor, psychological state, and lack of support from key if over the last 24 hours, 400 ukrainian soldiers are reported to have been killed and dozens of pieces of heavy artillery destroyed. where if you put a reportedly shows done that forces firing artillery from the northern done yet group public ukrainian positions. don best forces have said that the ukrainian army is actively using civilian infrastructure as shield which complicates its work. meanwhile, the civilian areas around don, yet republics capital are still suffering from ukrainian attacks. at least one

civilian was killed and 2 others were injured in the latest round of shelling, according being 2 officials around 60 missiles also hit the city center of don. yet school leaving civilian infrastructure heavily damaged our correspondence among closer discuss the rise in civilian casualties with or when castelli french, army veteran who joined on its forces in 2015. what made you decide to come here to the next? don't bonacre's you do. when i was living in europe, i followed the european news agenda. i saw what was happening in our countries and upset me. and when my down began, i thought it's what these events closely. i realized that not everything that was happening on my damn was he cranes. well, it was american politics. it was not the people of ukraine. it was american politicians who wanted to interfere in ukrainian affairs and change something. i did not imagine they would be such victims on my dad. i began to notice that nancy's and ukraine were being supported by europe. i did not think that after the

end, the world war 2, europe would support nazis who openly show that beliefs. and then people started being keller, odessa, who's, who, hands and don't ask. and i decided to come and see everything with my own eyes welder, miss you, while a, you and i were speaking, and another 3 people have been killed by ukrainian artillery indonesia. why is ukraine terrorizing and targeting civilians? civilians who still refused to evacuate, refused to leave the city of the next. i don't ask your bud objective when there is a war when someone hits the military infrastructure, there are always civilian victims, but the center of finance is not part of the front line. and when they constantly hit the civilian infrastructure, there was heavy weapons. it should be cold terrorism. this is what ukraine has been doing for 8 years. when every single day there are victims among civilians. it can only be called a terrorist state. will pay $155.00 millimeter calibre artillery. so many systems of those that france handed over to ukraine, and this is what they are hitting civilians with an addition at the same time.

president micron says that he wants the issue to be resolved peacefully, that it is necessary to conduct peaceful dialogue. but how can such dialogue we can talk to the fee himself gives weapons that kill normal people. yeah, they just want to create a war until the last ukrainian remains. this decision was made by the us with the help of europe against rush. the u. s. want to weaken both russia and the european union, and now they are killing 2 birds with one stone. this war is only beneficial to washington. they're trying to weaken to powers, they can create competition for them to war. so as the europe ian commission speaks in favor of giving ukraine, you candidate status, residents of other candidate countries say they feel cheated and discouraged are 2 more. if notion, i takes a closer look at why here and brussels look like honeymoon herself to ukraine was recommended for a you candidate status. but there still seems to be a little rough natural to spoil the barrel. yes, ukraine deserts,

european prospective. yes, ukraine should be. well come as a candidate country could work has be done, has been done, but important work also remains to be done. yes, important work, enormous work. let's take a look at the official list of demands. adopt a plan for reform in the entire law enforcement sector. and media, as well as anti money laundering legislation and national minorities legal framework, implement the anti only got a law that's just a few of them. it sounds like there are many problems in the candidate country. and the goal is quite hard to achieve. at least in the near future. so will be you turn a blind eye or is it ready to take a race? next ukraine is asked to further strengthen the fight against corruption, the fight, but wasn't quite successful lately. according to transparency international. 2021

corruption perceptions index. ukraine ranked 122nd out of 180 countries close to zambia. but for the use seems ukraine doesn't even have to succeed. promising to tighten the fight could just be good enough for the sake of justice ga, also go to a similar list of demands to become any u candidate, like diversifying political parties and guaranteed media freedom. well, despite the country situation with the opposition, at least there actually is one in georgia. and freedom of speech seems much better . they are compared to key of billy, see never which the level ukraine has similarly attained over night. and georgia is not the only country facing such injustice. the waiting list joined elite european club is long, and some have been standing in line for decades like turkey, which has been sick in e u. membership for 35 years. seen ukraine simply skipping the queue could

certainly make such countries very angry. blue shirts, kerisha, it's a matter of interest, is russia importance is turkey important and or is ukraine important program and ukraine is suitable for europe enough to be against russia. the u. s. supports it, in other words, on, for the european union in the imperialist act in their own interest. so they have no interest here, or cultural social conditions and cyclical conditions may have changed. it could be for them to speed up now to isolate and to encircle russia. they especially want to do this in order to separate ukraine from russia's patronage and expand nato's borders further. so that's in, there's nothing else. liomas' them. mueller, international law no longer exists. the european union no longer has any criteria, so they gave ukraine the status to receive it. so it doesn't make any sense any more. he made the whole labyrinth that is presented to the candidate countries. in the end, it turned into one decision for ukraine. but such concerns are being voiced,

not only on candidates who are losing their patients, but even some e. u found in countries like france is roy for a video market in order to enter the european family as equals, ukraine must revise its history. and again, we should stop glorifying nazi collaborators who killed tens of thousands of june so to, despite it may by your memorial existing t f e street leading to it is named after stepan mendera, a man hero, worshipped in ukraine schools who himself killed tens of thousands of jews and was allied with the nazis new conclusion he of seems to be getting his candidacy through at by now pay later program. the question is, will it actually ever be able to pay up? perhaps it's still too early to ask such questions when engagement doesn't always lead to marriage. in any case, you later as i do to decide on ukraine's candidate seders later this week. ah, i, the u. s. is again moving to curry, favor with india,

the white house as indo pacific advisors stressing that relations with new delhi are some of the most important this century. i think there are always challenges in our bilateral relationship. the key is to remain purposeful to understand that the most important relationship in my view for the united states in the 21st century is likely to be with india. us has sought to build a strategic partnership with india for more than a decade. but gains have been soured by new delhi failing to join the west, of course of condemnation of russia for the war in ukraine. washington is uncomfortable with russia being. india is key military equipment provider and a recent band by new delhi on wheat exports is also caused friction. the relationship hasn't been helped by comments from us officials to attacked religious freedoms in the country. for example, in india, the world's largest democracy and home to a great diversity of face. we've seen rising attacks on people in places of worship

. in india, some officials are ignoring or even supporting rising attacks on people and places of worship. the defense correspondent for the hindu newspaper. do not, perry says india's public displeasure with us comes as washington places that under massive pressure. yeah. and the difference is that a lot of friction already turned on the green and the water and you're putting with the us just take it by the us. there's a lot of for him get to, you know, they come more to show what he called a harder strand against russia. both if you magically as well as in the u. n, the could be content. the us has been pushing the on the different frank is an order is not so much of immediate. are different for dealing with more efficient information depend, depends and dependents on question. on all of which is this,

or 60 percent of india fixture. some people tend to be getting harder still constitutes a ration origin. and there has been concern in the policy and circles what, how the media spare to support and maintenance as well as delivery guidelines of new equipment which can get signed a series of be in the last few years of that we should, we will do that. china has launched a 3rd aircraft carrier named after the province opposite self rule. taiwan as it continues to bolster its military presence in the in the pacific region. the aircraft carrier was launched and made it rising tensions with the u. s. over time one. it was the chinese navies, 3rd, such carrier only us has more of the vessels coming in at 11. the move came after a recent statement from joe biden, that the u. s. would engage militarily, if beijing, or to take military action in taiwan. we support the one china policy report, all,

all that we've done legal pass, but that does not mean it does not mean that china has the ability, has the excuse me, the jurisdiction to go in and use force to take over taiwan. you didn't want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily. for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are. that's a commitment we made. we spoke to victor gow, chair professor at su chow university, who said it's about time. the u. s. came to terms with china's rising economic and military power. the united states need to come to terms that china is growing and growing very, very fast. it is growing much faster than the united states, and the chinese military power is constantly on the rise. this 3rd, that chinese aircraft carrier, the full gym carrier, is the most sophisticated,

conventionally power the aircraft carrier. to date it is the most sophisticated, and i will not be surprised if the next aircraft carrier, china, will produce in the matter of just couple of years will be nuclear power. so in this says, the united states need to come to terms that charnise growing. china is becoming a more and more important power. and the chinese military might, is something that the united states cannot ignore. and they need to come to terms with that. eventually, china will be one of the most important countries in the world, but we promote peace rather than agitating, full war in this world. there you have it. you're watching our international of the back and let's say 30 minutes, another phone, fresh look at your news. there was oh

ah, the see the current price is in st long as the continuation of the global financial crisis of 2008, which really has a result. you have only been trying to financial eyes and bubble up, i economy and, and what i see as perhaps a crisis of more liberal is shooting sri lanka 1st. so i don't think the usual solutions going to was going to have to drastically change direction the are to come up with this crisis. ah ah.
