a former rebel fighter becomes the 1st left wing president in columbia history with traditionally us allied countries, now expected to drift away from washington sphere of influence with broadcasting live from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now to the latest on the war in ukraine, look, ask authority say cubes. bombing of the dumbass republics continues with many civilian areas. targeted and allegation that if proven, would constitute a war crime. these include a residential area of to come up, which was hit by fragments from a missile. said it to be a touch. can you after was intercepted by the cities air defense system. now that is important because the ukrainian military is the only military believe to be using the touch your system. i school was among 9 presidential buildings. damaged korean forces have also reportedly shelf tuberculosis clinic in the city of edward

mina, locals say that the bombings occurred. so fast that they did not have time to evacuate, wrestle, assemblage, i will copy nigi to the explosions. something was flung round. i didn't understand what i ran from the bathroom into the hall, where i hid against the wall in the corner behind the sofa. and then there was a bang, a flash, and a smell of gunpowder. while i was recovering, i ran into the basement. i was more in that room than what happened again. then i went out to the neighbors to check their wire life or no frames in the windows of broken. the refrigerator was broken fragments of glassware after well, when i left the deal there was shelling a nurse cried out, but the cleaning had been damaged or windows were broken, double glass windows and the roof and the cladding of the building were also damaged. everything happened so fast had no time to vacate patience. those who are bedridden were given pillows to protect their faces because it was impossible to come out and those horn crutches went out into the corridors. a low blow had as

follow when the shilling started. we were here. the rocket struck many times. we lay on the floor. we fell, heard a rumble and scrambled into the cellar. when the noise subsides, we went out and found the launch pit where the projectile had landed, and fragments lying round. i've never seen such a thing before. it was very scary. it's not the 1st time we'd been for me, but it was the 1st time i'd seen something so close. official say the ukrainian artillery is also maintaining its intensive shelling of the town of papa. now, despite most of the buildings already being heavily damaged or destroyed, despite the hourly air raids, some locals are determined to remain ortiz. he goes done of reports from the scene . unexploded missiles and craters from fresh shillings. this may be 200 people in all of the town of parson i left in this area in particular around 6 behind me are obliterated homes as the ukrainian forces keep blowing up to pieces. livelihoods of

people here. every single house here is wriggled with holes like a fine grain sieve in a place like this, which is routinely shelled by ukrainians on a daily basis. it's surprising to see survivors still willing to call it the only home they have was a saturday, so they were shooting with self propelled guns. rockets were flying, look over there. i'm trying to clean this up. when it rains, it's impossible to be here. you have to please bowls everywhere. we have no way to go. my husband does not want to leave this house. if his parents, the guard, how have they treated us? bad? we are separatist them. one of them came and said, i'm here to choose slaves for myself. the moment keith troops retreated. these people outlasted their use as a human shield for ukrainian soldiers. they were the ones who dug up the now overgrown french's right to mid people's little backyard gardens. this maze of trenches was one of the most of unguarded,

not the most. ivan guard position of the ukrainian forces in the town of papa. now, i say in the town, because here you can clearly see that it was established amidst private sector. the rest of the town stretches as far as the i can see, the only thing the handful of locals here are left with is to wait and hope wait until they're finally out of range of the soviet made artillery at the service of the ukrainian army. hope that west and made bombs don't start dropping on them, like they already have on the civilians of the next thousands of people have taken to the streets of india to voice their anger at a government cost cutting scheme that will increase the number of use in the army on tuesday, the government unveiled a new recruitment plan that will see young men to serve in the armed forces for 4 years. the goal is to provide jobs for countries youth as well as to make the armed

forces younger, more capable, and more diverse for future challenges. moreover, the scheme is expected to lower the bill for the armed forces, as the state will be able to reduce the cost of wages and pensions. many people, however, are angry about the changes. oh, on sunday the demonstrations turned out angry people, blocking trains to setting fire to railroad cars and tires and clashes with police . dozens of professors were arrested. here is archie, contribute article with more details. this scheme is aimed at bringing in efficiency, bringing down the cost of the defense in the country, and also bringing in younger lina and more efficient groups to the military services. however, the decision has caused roar in the country in certain pockets.

the opposition is unhappy and is strongly protesting against me and has expressed themselves that it might legal. the defense of the country of the major reasoning behind the scheme seems that the nature of the warfare has changed . the combat conventional was have to do so were be yours. and the government seems to be spending a lot more on air force. and it seems to be spending a lot more on weaponry and also on different brands from the country has been facing challenges. for example, say what a dash financial, a dykes and various other issues apart from this. and the issue is that the indian youth who was used to a certain system offered

a group may, may be disappointed with this because it does not ensure jobs after 4 years up. so is in the military. i go, lot of people have also come in support of this. he, he, again, that this is going to reduce the cost that goes into defense expenditure. russia is holding africa hostage. that is how ukranian president vitamins zalinski described moscow's relations with the continent as sanctions against russian exports continue, africa, fucked. each the little chickens of africa is actually hostage to those who unleashed war against our state here. and if it was not for the war against ukraine, there simply would be no shortage of food in the market. little people in africa, asia, or in any country in the world will not be suffering from catastrophic rise in crisis

line is morally, the head of the african union responded by saying it is committed to a peaceful resolution. but earlier, we called for western countries to ease payments restrictions on moscow to allow africa to pay for russian goods. although it is aggravated by european sanctions on the methods of payment, we want to pay, but it becomes impossible. so we are asking the europeans for the same mechanism as for gas and oil of russia and ukraine, export. nearly a 3rd of the world's wheat and barley grain cannot get out of ukraine until key of clears. it's ports of its minds to allow the safe export of goods. a former south african statistician general says that it is incorrect to proportion to blame on just one country in the current conditions. the statement of rigor workspace. russia would be wrong because africa believes that we will, she should, should be given an opportunity to be wrong. blade russia are holding from

shortages where and russia and ukraine, i had wall and that was a lot of changes that will get my mind if i to reach them. but you can correct it will be one can keep it as the broker of good food shortages. i mean, there are sanctions in postal and russian exports there by euro. you in the us such as the guess that to say a baby. i say no, you don't want to buy your, your gas, you that process well to cheese for production, for production purposes, i disrupted midwestern sanctions on moscow. russia 2nd largest stock exchange announced plans to offer clients cross board trading with the chinese territory of hong kong. now the announcement comes as it rushes,

oil exports to china soar to a record 55 percent in may. from the previous year, russia has now overtaken saudi arabia as beijing's leading importer india has also been taking advantage of discounts on russian energy supplies. with a reported spike in russian coal purchases in recent weeks, demand for oil in china, rose after crone of virus restrictions were loosened, using a logistical snarls and allowing industrial production to rebound benjamin chow from the paris. a school of business says sanctions violate world markets, interests like china and india are dramatically increasing their imports from russia. china is cru oil imports from russia, source, 55 percent from the year earlier to a rec, love for you may displacing saudi arabia as this top supplier and the current sanctions against russia. and the disruption of supply from ukraine

create serious energy and crops shortage. and a expectation on sorting as well, and thus we are a stink historic integration in decades. thought that the europe relies on russia for nearly 40 percent off in natural gas and 25 percent office is by all means that it is not possible to remove europeans need of russian oil and gas. in the near term. columbia has elected its 1st ever left us the president, gustavo petro, who has promised to transform the south american country, raising questions about whether washington can maintain its grip on its traditional conservative ally or t contributor fiorella. isabel takes a closer look at what the result means. for the country and the countrymen, this is a historic election for colombia, for the 1st time ever, columbia has the chance at a fair election. they exerted their right to elect a popular candidate. columbia has notoriously had fraudulent elections and so this

was a historic when not just for the left, but for the entire country of columbia that has been trying to get rid of this for decades. for the longest time. columbia has endured civil conflicts from the military police on civilians and from us fact, governments. and so this way represents an end to that, a movement towards piece a chance to get rid of the old system and be able to usher in a new system. let's remember that colombia is the only natal partner in latin america for the longest time. the united states has exerted control be a military bases and the framing of colombians in the military. and so this marks a shift away from mat towards a more sovereign state. the reaction has been absolutely palpable with emotion, enjoy, and also signifies an attempt to have equal relationships with their latin american

partners, including countries that have been vilified by the west like venezuela also shows a solidarity between much of latin america. i express my most fraternal, congratulations to gustavo petro, on his election is president of columbia. in a historic popular victory, we reiterate willingness to advance the development of bilateral relations for the well being of our peoples. we wish the best for the families of the brotherly country who have trusted, entrust in their proposals in programs of life with peace, welfare, and rights. as part of our caribbean america, let's continue strengthening the reality our people expect and deserve your victory validates democracy and ensures a path towards an integrated latin america in this time when we demand maximum solidarity among brotherly peoples. it's a joy for latin america. we will work together for the unity of our continent and the challenges of

a rapidly changing world. this signifies that the latin american countries, primarily central and south america of course, have come together to assure, in an era of sovereignty, getting rid of the spanish crown wasn't enough. now you have an attempt to get rid of neo colonialism to get rid of this american u. s. american hold on the continent. and so you're going to see an intensified relationship when it comes to economics between these latin american countries, as well as more open relationships with china and russia. political analyst, carlos santana, maria says the new leader has everything to reshape and transform columbia. and it's important that such a progressive has one. this is the middle one, the colombian people are very happy because this, when is progress for the people? socialism has almost never been explained here. they always point with the finger

at bad things related to it, such as dictators, et cetera. but left wing politics mostly about social justice, the state using its tools to do what it has to do to help people to transform the well for this country into improving the lives of its people, into pensions, education, healthcare, which is presently all privatized. it is very possible that the new government will be an exemplary government that will act according to the constitution. it will follow the laws on the concept of dignity in columbia. when there is a solution when there is a will to move forward. when all legal means a used to work with communities, with groups that have been in conflict, and when the method of smart dialogue is used, it is possible to make agreement between all political parties effective. the peace process takes place when that is public justice. that's the case. this process will move forward. absolutely, and it is also important to compromise with all countries of our america in order to unite the continent and to warm multi polar system. a british newspaper has sparked

a furor over alleging independent journalists endorsed dis information about the syrian civil war. the guardian claimed without presenting any direct evidence that the reporters were a conspiracy theorist, backed by a coordinated russian institution to distort the reality of the devastating conflict. in the guardian mach towns and calls me the most prolific spreader of disinformation on syria. his source is a study by the institute for strategic dialogue. think tank mark has failed. so contact me offer an example of my ledger disinformation disclose that i estie is funded by u. s. u. k, an allied states. the guardian turns out, embarrassingly awful, empire propaganda. the guarding has put out a smear piece and critics of the imperial syria narrative that reads propaganda made by 7 year olds without adult supervision. he had line for the story which

mentioned russia backed networks has now been removed by the media. let it claimed that the russian government is among those who took part in distorting the purpose of an organization operating in syria. the white helmets. we've spoken to one of the journalists, vanessa bailey, who claims that media targets everyone who doesn't share their narrative. we are attacked as supporting russian narratives instead of providing evidence to counter the evidence that we are presenting. and there is the simplified or reductionist, or smear, which is supposed to discredit what, what we are working on and what we are presenting as evidence. the report upon which the article was based was commissioned by organizations that are effectively funded by the various regimes, including the u. s. and the u. k. that up a vested interest in regime change in syria and the serial campaign which was also

previously carried out a tax against myself and the evidence that i've produced against the white helmets . now i think what we are saying very clearly is that the media is effectively nothing more than an extension of power in the us, the u. k. and the u. an expansion of intelligence agency operations, particularly in syria, but also in ukraine. and that people should not expect them to be producing news or analysis that is objective and impartial. russia has accused the white helmets of the staging chemical attacks on behalf of the syrian government. numerous times claiming that some of their videos were shot in cooperation with local terrorist organizations. the group is reportedly funded by western government through 3rd hand institutions, independent investigative journalist, vanessa bailey. again, shares her personal insight into white helmet activity from my experience from

7 years now. working on the ground insights are investigating this organization. i have found absolutely no evidence of them being beneficial to the civilians that live under their occupation in the areas of course, occupied by arcade, or in the various arms groups. and the only evidence that has been produced, of course, are there oscar winning videos that are from by themselves, or if they're a legit rescues and not to be forgotten. but the white helmets are now appearing copycat organizations and now appearing in ukraine. and the white helmets themselves are involved in training, the nazi and fascist elements inside your crane in allegedly and 1st aid. but i would suggest that the training them and how to produce the same false flags and staged events that the white house were responsible for inside syria. until recently,

people in the west could choose between heating and eating. but now i'm the elected officials are telling them to sacrifice the 2 for ukraine as nato chief on stoughton burg calls on the west to do more for cheer. despite rising food and food and fuel prices, we must prepare for the fact that it could take years. we must not lead up in supporting ukraine even if the cost are high. not only for military support, but also because of rising energy and food prices. suttonberg has called on people from the west to forget about the growing cost of living and focus on nato's policy of backing in with europe already eating into its winter gas supplies, which are meant to be topped up during the summer for the cold period. that's why germany chose russian gas during chancellor miracles rain, as she explains tech over about the german economy, chose to supply gas read pipelines from russia because he was economically cheaper than liquefied natural gas from saudi arabia,

guitar and the united arab emirates. and later from the united states, i did not believe that change could be achieved through trade, but it was possible to establish ties, especially with nuclear power. rena ross was jim political analyst and chairman of the linda branch of the alternate if for germany, party is concerned about western politicians, irresponsibility. what will happen next winter if we have shortage of gas and yeah, the flaps will remain quite chilly then maybe the situation can change and the questions will rise the whether politicians have really represented wisely the interest of the people. or if they have just insisted in their standpoints, and without any willingness to negotiate about a tentative so you shouldn't diplomatic. so you shouldn't the mainstream partition, of course,

is that only delivery of more and more lethal weapons shall help. and i can only see losers when we follow this concept, really only losers. we will lose on behalf of western europe. and above all, your brain will lose will lose more lives. and of course, the battle field in ukraine will be devastated even more. almost 50 tons of humanitarian aid have been collected and sent to marble by a german volunteer community. already it's 40 cargo to the region. the association has been providing aid to the dumbass and since 2015 working together with the mosque lead done best on cheer group and has also assisted victims of moore's in syria and yemen. the killings, the associations leader told us more about it's for dallas guns provide us the

annual proven a group of like minded people who have paid attention to the situation in ukraine from my job to a dasa. and only that, that happened that well, this happened in the dumbass is undeclared war against its people. people are suffering that they're cold and they're starving. it was back in 2015 when we started providing to monetary innate and found it an organizational to improve that . tate, their max since clothes, hygiene items, water and food in the car. goods within walking with moscow, dumbass volunteer group for, for yes, to arrange the supplies. we've also created will places new windows fill some boxes so children can play that. i walk is in the line with the restoration work. i do not care about the consequences. it doesn't matter what people are helping humanitarian aid cannot depend on that. so it will just keep going. well, money to the western media appears to be changing as polemic on that the war in

ukraine, with recent articles suggesting kia, may suffer a dramatic military loss in the don bus. and the change in the narrative comes with the russian troops advancing in the region where most of ukraine's forces are located. western media is now reporting that ukraine is suffering, a lack of munitions with politicians admitting. it may need to see the territory political commentator, kerry harrison from the harrison reality check radio show, says western media is paving the way for nato to send more weapons to ukraine. i don't think there's any secrets that united states or the defense department, and more presently the contractors are making a fortune. there's nothing more delicious that a new called an endless war for endless profits, badly butler a name that is worth googling for anybody. a famous us general set back up where to

war is a rack and keep it wrote a book by that name. the assumption that the american public understands where their money is going wrong. in germany or switzerland or denmark, you pay your taxes, you get retirement sleek light rail, yet health care in united day to pay lots of tax. no idea what, not, no clue. so, what's public? does it know that these bb is just numbers? was where they're going. so like afghanistan to go 1820 years, we have no idea how we really are we losing unless the newspaper or the tv tells us so. so it's very difficult for the american public, have a ras, about anything, frankly, because we don't have any longer any really competent access to real time information or to say real information like reality check level formation. so

say if it's a public and a war i see are all side that is a for me this, i'll be back in about 33 minutes another full and fresh look to news a start international, a . ah

ah, remember 6 months ago everyone was looking him up and then now much less. so i think climate change will re merge as an important topic at some point because people see philosophy policy fires, people see heat waves and makes the news. so now the past couple of months of the ukraine crisis may have been used, but even already i think that is a certain tiring of that. but climate change will remain with industry stuck and just look up some literally a muscle around noon. judy doesn't being in the green shield on nice to me. yes. press seal. mama gosh, sit page 72 and look at that. i put his ashley of nbc. what are the,

what the duplicate pieces goes down to. one to said, of course, with not looking for the chain of times to meddle for phones or something like that. and then we got that with lisa with ah,

hello and welcome to crosstalk, where all things are considered i and people about speaking at the st. petersburg international economic form. 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 its sovereignty in the face of western prussia. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest, george samuel, we in budapest, he's a podcast or at the goggle which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow we have to meet bob h. he is a political analyst and editor at, you know me internet media project. i gentleman cross stock rolls in effect. that means you can jump in any time you want. and i always appreciate it. i. let's start off in budapest, george. i'm a blood amir putin gave a.
