ah, a at least 3 people are wounded off to you. freighted tanks, russian drilling rigs off the coast of crimea, with rescue efforts in full swing. good. see, rush to find western sanctions by becoming the top exposure to avoid to china have no fear, finds no shortage of bias. forward, synergy, and germany. the green agenda goes up in the flames of a cold cloud and fires as boat and is forced to compensate its energy market for the loss of russian gas import. on britain is new army chief, about the extensions in europe, or during his troops to pro packed defeat russia on the battlefield

with i will welcome to you, this is auntie international. with the latest world news, it's good to have you with us. now russia says the ukrainian military has to talk to crimea and companies drilling rigs in the black sea. the russian republics governor stays at least 3 people have been wounded in a search and rescue. operation is ongoing, it say, according to a local senator, the platforms operated by a crimea state company were located around 71 kilometers from the ukrainian city of odessa, crimea, leda say more than 100 people were working on the rigs at the time of the attack with the evacuation, if it's still under way mean wanting dumbass ukraine has resumed. it's heavy shelling of the city of don't. yes. local officials say residential areas are intentionally targeted despite being dozens of kilometers away from the fighting on the front lines. ah. this

ans are assigned to amateur sich apparently says the aftermath of monday's attacks has been no word on casualties. so from the renewed shelling comes off to 19 people were killed and more than a 100 wounded. and the don units for public last week as a result, if ukrainian attacks local authorities have accused caves, troops of using shells and rockets recently supplied by nato countries. meanwhile, the russian and don't yet see forces have been firing back at the ukrainians destroying 12 artillery units. just in the past day. as, according to russia's defense ministry, russia has replaced saudi arabia as the top supply of crude oil to china, with bating, making the most of discounted supplies from its neighbour in the north rushes, all exposed to china, sold 55 percent from the previous year to a record level in may, the latest figures reported russia overtook saudi arabia whose export volumes

increased, but only by 9 percent. moving the middle eastern country down to 2nd place. india has also been taking advantage of discounts on russian energy supplies with reported spike and russian coal purchases in recent weeks. meanwhile, the use top economy, germany, is facing a gas crisis, as they've been seeking to cut supplies from russia. germany has even been war and it gets people to use less of the commodity or else they might not be able to adequately heat their homes this winter. we must, and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in the summer and fall gas consumption must continue to fall. so more gas must be stored in storage, otherwise things will get really tight in winter. let's get more now from our our t contribute said rachel marston, rachel, good to see you. could you just walk as 3 what's been happening with this energy crisis? yeah, so much for germany's clean energy session sticking. it's good in by avoiding

rushing gas currently. now also needs tearing up your countries green energy program. berlin is backed itself into an energy crunch with the west's anti rushing sanctions. last week, russia's gas rom announced an overall reduction of 40 percent in russian gas deliveries to europe via the north street pipeline. it's germany citing siemens failure to return repaired gas lamps. the german company explained the canadian anti rushing sanctions prevented the return of the units from a factory in montreal for use in the pipeline. 9 think the berlin would be happy to fulfill its promise. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski a reducing russian gas important because that's effectively what this does. but that's not the case. as berlin solution to cut down on its gas needs is to fire up the dirty whole class. again, it's a total odds with the countries green energy policy. that means to be honest, more coal fired power plants for

a transitional period. that's bitter, but it's almost necessary in this situation to reduce gas consumption. yeah, germany industry association support setting climate rules aside now in favor of ensuring an energy supplied. no kidding need. energy, right. the move is all the more surprising given berlin's policy of phasing out. cool by 2030, which a carney minister spokesman. steph, i'm gabrielle house. says is still on track. maybe not for long. france seems to be in a bit better shape. paris managed to convince the european union to classify nuclear energy as green energy blasts. february paving the way for french president emmanuel, and i called to announce that nuclear energy is francis future. and that there would be a french nuclear renaissance. this after previously announcing the closure of friendship. we are energy reactors under the pretext that they weren't brain enough

. berlin still refuses to see nuclear energy as a clean alternative to rush gas, but it's backed itself into a corner by denouncing nuclear power. so long green energy has been on the use mind for a very long time. and germany was one of the strongest proponents for the switch to renewable energy, to the detriment of natural gas speed up the necessary green transition. we have to face out pollutants. guess we want to create thousands of jobs on this, but daughter doesn't, we must massively develop renewable energy in order to abandon the use of fossil fuels as quickly as possible. this is exactly what we have undertaken on to do together organum. but today we're taking our ambition yet to another level, to make sure that we become independent of russian fossil fuels as quickly as possible to accelerate the phasing out of fossil fuel. and most importantly,

to kick start investments on a new scale. wow, i mean diagnosis was so fast. i was talked with last just listening to it, jury's best laid plans were on that gravel. i get off the can you grade drags on and sticking it looks a lot more like sticky at your local tree. hardy says my to thank you for that. that sounds. he contributes a rachel marston with at his house. when we want is washington precious to you to ditch energy supplies from russia. it's deepening the crisis by remaining steadfast and it's sanctions against a wrong missing out on the potential for impose from that country to we stabilize the oil prices on these donald course reports 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. that 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

economy were banding, all imports of russian oil and gas. new g thir will be no longer on our stream to we will bring it into the system. imagine if in fact, europe didn't have to count on russian oil. if they were energy independence, $400000000000.00 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 slapped 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 would rather laugh than 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 hoping for a quick return of iranian supply to bring oil prices low amidst rising geopolitical tensions. i think that the united states responded to soviet contrary, as they saw what happened that was happening. ready ukraine because all the thought that have been given is that they could use this scott maxwell fisher and using loans. ready sanchez said she these a without realizing that this is old already if the backlash on their own economy on their likelihood that he was. ready likelihood and on inflation, it should come as no surprise that all these consequences 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, i mention that gasoline has an absurd price with $50.00 euros of gasoline. you can't fill the tank yet 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 is again with the subsidy that will be removed at the end of july. gasoline price will reach to euros and $0.50. there is no solution. we are in a catastrophe. often with empress 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 any more. 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 of to come to the negotiating table getting louder and louder. french president emanuel

mac, ron said kiev 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 bascom, monique, on to noodle. but we want to build peace, which means that at some point, we all want to cease far and discussion to start again. the quinn in prison will have to negotiate with russia and we, europeans will be around the table, notably to bring security guarantees that it is relevant to our continent. that is the reality of things. it is absolutely necessary to speak, to put in and i will continue to do so as the french president will also, 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 biden off his bike well, some european countries are getting weary of the ukraine conflict and pushing for peace talks. the u. k. is new army chief has warned. he's 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. assignments from the army general follow last week surprised visits by u. k. prime minister boris johnson to keith, the chief of nato, was also a coach, the u. k. sentiment that the west must prepare for a long tongue war in ukraine. 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 its soil faster than russia can renew its capacity to attack. we must prepare for the fact that it 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. 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, you as president joe biden has announced the countries 12 package of weaponry for ukraine is the largest single challenge. so far. mounting to a $1000000000.00 was those foreign ministers. they see you as his spending so much on the war effort because he wants to destroy russia. below they are trying to achieve what they have already announced a long time ago 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 . lorraine douglas, a communist party, organized in britain, has denounced the west's attempts to escalate the convict as a clear and present danger for all sides. anybody who did see boasting is involved in diplomacy. anybody using your foreign policy development should know how to actually traverse we then talk to other leaders. you know, we're not in

a situation here where there is no race to the west from what's going on here. and estimation situation potentially will, mike, it was not just for the people, if you cry, it will potentially escalate and other countries in the war. they seem to have forgotten that that's actually a whole nuclear arms race, which is predicate it on the basis of no 1st games. we now actually have western leaders. he walked countenance thing, the possibility of 1st use of nuclear weapons. any tool escalating this war? i think is extremely dangerous. i think it indicates really just how i'm fit for office or by 1st johnson at least trust all. i don't have a real proper understanding of international politics. i don't have

a proper understanding of how to actually deal with people. if you can increase tensions with russia, costs for oil, gas, food and even housing are also on the rise. petrol sales have been on the decline in the u. k. slipping 6 percent over the last 6 weeks. as record high prices are hurting consumers. the cost of diesel has risen even more substantially than petrol as demand outstripped supply. u. k. citizens are claiming their leaders are uninterested in domestic politics and focus all their attention on ukraine. over the weekend, thousands of protesters swept through 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 needed bars. johnson resigned. and you think the government is completely out of touch with its citizens in this government? a i never work with people cannot hang that

the traction is finished. they who run their property dry. we have nothing left to gave people who are and all the children who are involved with the law. i'm living alive, i am about in the 21st century in the 6th richest country in the world. we've got wanting 5 people who are missing a meal. every die, it said the children, we got one in 6 to rely upon food banks and on food donations in order to be able to survive. energy costs doubled in april and everybody in the country has received an increase in the amount of pride in the amount that they're having to pay for their gas and electricity. we're in a situation where people will, will have to choose between heating and eating. the european commission speaks in

favor of giving ukraine your candidate status. the residents of other candidate countries say they feel cheated and discouraged ortiz maria phenomena 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 dessert european prospector. 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 reforming the entire law enforcement sector and media, as well as anti money laundering legislation and national minorities legal framework, implement the anti omega hello. 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's 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, georgia also go to a similar list of demands to become any u candidate like their versus find political parties and guaranteed media freedom. well, despite the country situation where the opposition pleased there actually is one in georgia and freedom of speech seems much better there compared to key of really see

never which the level ukraine has similarly attained. overnight 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 que would certainly make such countries. very angry, blue shirts, furniture it's a matter of interest, is russian important historically important or is ukraine important? ukraine is suitable for europe, enough to biggest russia. the u. s. supports it the european union and the imperialists act in their own interests. so they have no interest here, or cultural social conditions and cyclical conditions may have changed, 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 it. there's nothing else. leanne. mueller. international law no longer exists. so yeah, if your opinion no longer has any criteria they gave you, crane the saddest to receive it. so it doesn't make any sense any more for you may, 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 in order to enter the european family as equals, you crime must revise its history, which has stopped glorifying nazi collaborators who killed tens of thousands of jews despite the being of bobby yar memorial in care of the street leading. there is named after stepan barbera, a man hero, worshipped in ukraine schools, who himself killed tens of thousands of jews and was allied with nazis. conclusion here seems to be getting his candidacy through at by now pe 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. you says era may political analyst, in a stumble says that you use requirements, sometimes run counter to a candidate states domestic policies of ukraine's false trunk status is also raised questions among other countries that have already been waiting many years while when we look at the candidates that is, obviously there are a lot of preconditions placed within the chapters that need to be met. some of these preconditions require reforms that some countries don't want to make. some countries don't feel they need to make, of course, discipline from a turkey perspective. it requires a reforms and concessions regarding the position on northern cyprus, which is a red line for yet. again,

there are other preconditions as well that are not in line with turkey's national security, understanding your turkey, socio economic understanding as well. so some of the chapters that the requires for candidates see do not necessarily have a positive impact on the country from a foreign policy or a socio economic perspective. i definitely changes the conditions that it's for being candid, the country, it's definitely set the precedent. so this is a precedent now that you will have to live with going forward and that some of the candidate countries will question, why did we wait this long to receive our candidate status? but i hope story. now ukraine has resumed its heavy shelling of the city of don. yes. with local official saying kids forces have been intentionally targeting residential areas. let's close lines to corresponds in that room on closer if he's

in don't. yes, mom. could you tell us how bad is the current situation for civilians are this se, who is said, definitely a very, very warring the city. the ground here in a city of the nest was shaking, starting in the early morning as ukrainian nation is. forces at access several districts in the city, we could see the clouds of smoke rising in different areas. and there was a lot of damage to civilian infrastructure, including homes, including a power lines and, and thousands of people are now without the electricity. now, a very heavy explosion took place where the tv towers are located. here in john ned scanned according to some local experts, and this is yet to be confirmed. ukrainian nationalist force is apparently used an american and 142 high mars time are so multiple rocket launcher. once again,

this hasn't been confirmed, but people on the scene experts who are working or suggesting that so this is what they had used also earlier in the day here in dennis a missile defense systems have been deployed over the city as a cruise missiles were flying over here as well at the moment says shelling, it's still continues in the city of genetics, from a nearby of dave and pesky village which is just about 12 to 15 kilometers away from where i'm standing from on. thank you for the update. don sal corresponded ramon concert speaking to his line, but from don, yes, that moscow says it will retaliate to what it calls lithuania is illegal. ban on the transit of sanctions, goods to russia's west, an enclave of kellen in grad. here's the latest reaction from the regions governor

medina. we believe that this is a serious violation of the baltic states succession to the u protocols and a violation of the rules of free transit to and from the clinic grad region. these are the obligations of the you in the baltic countries that's without even saying what an extremely serious humanitarian issue. this is an attempt to strangle our region economically. e countries restrictions apply to construction materials on consumer products, amounting to almost 50 percent of russia's transit to kellen and grad. moscow says it will act as it, steve sick, as it is fit to protect its national interests. unless lithuania agrees to lift its been, russia has listed a number of international treaties neglected by villainy as including a fundamental well trade organization protocol guaranteeing freedom of transit. but it's lithuania, claims. it made the decision with support from the european commission economy. professor richard varner says lithuanian measures violate international law and could lead to grim consequences. it's actually

a domestic transaction. so domestic transport between 2 parts of russia that have to go through do to geography another country. but that will sanctions cannot possibly apply because the russian internal transport that's happening. so that's the biggest flaw in this argument. and then of course, you know, the, the transport between russian pods is not actually subject to any sanctions. and also any restrictions that are now being placed on the cleaning region do not actually directly seem to come from the sanction regime. so it doesn't seem to make sense. there's parent move on to a near could turn out to be very, very serious with very serious consequences. so i think it's important that people realize what they're doing is the aim here to, to stop the 3rd world war and,

and have a nuclear war. is this really what the west ones? it seems totally unjustified and criminal in proportion. many thanks for joining us here when all the international web back at the top of the hour, with the latest. with speaking of the st. petersburg international, he cannot mclawrence this year. russian president vladimir putin was clear as crystal. russia will stay the course in ukraine until victory is cheap. and more importantly, russia will not compromise his sovereignty in the face of western pressure. ah

ah hm. a real minute thought. oh, you mean you clean up? she was not going to flow in a border with you, but you might look and you live in the schools, get california initial be, well, have club not significant dealer post on zillow, while diaz can used to put value a new one. you know, you did, or ching, by y'all as to which the don,
