the facility with 30 civilians been reported to have left the plant during the day . and the mining operation continues in the dumbass republics with almost 30000 explosives and mines cleared by russian suppers. with the help of the mining robots . ortiz eager to donna's visits, one of the areas still to be the mind fortified physician abandoned by the ukrainian army near the town of boston, which saw heavy fighting last month with the special forces of the russian army. we are right now moving towards the positions quite recently captured from the ukrainian troops. and we're about to see the fortifications that they have both directed and dug into the ground. well over the past 8 years. and we're about to see what's left of them after the work of the russian artillery jets and well infantry. ah,
11:03 pm
i don't show up when you when i was going to be sort mute on them. yet crunches deep enough to safely shelter a man of average height sprout across the area and had concrete laden fortifications. we find western supplied weapons ukrainian troops abandoned in a hurry as they fled, logo of the welto community. this is a permanent fortification. if we go inside, we can see the reinforced doors. they are made of thick steel with sand inside. going further we see another door of the same type and these are the firing positions. each of them has its own zone. these windows are reinforced as well with thick steel as we saw before on the inside here, the position is draped with his best. if sir cannot catch fire. and this is how the same firing position, which you have just seen from the inside, looks from the outside. there's extra protection in the front, on the sides as well. you don't have to be a military expert to see that it takes a lot of firepower to well overcome and kick the forces out of
11:04 pm
a fortification like this one. ah, and these are the remains of a cluster munitions that the ukrainian force is used against their former own abandoned well a fortifications. these type of munition is bound to pretty much all over the world . as we explore this labourer, we make a disturbing discovery. the ukrainian positions are spidering across the fields here in all directions, and if they need to establish something like this, a command center, any place is good enough. even the cemetery, there's no red lines. it seems bulky. forces in the swarm ethics is expendable decency is an excess. i mean there's done of reporting from the dawn bass c o gra mornings are coming from ireland as the countries e u commissioners says that energy rationing may be a new reality for millions of people. as soon as this year phase of energy and
11:05 pm
security have increased in the countries and it has few storage facilities. the german minister said we may need to look at energy rationing. that could be a reality. it's something we've tried to avoid. it's precarious, but i think we would be rather naive not to plan for the worst the commission i've met since i your pm block may need to consider energy rationing after rushing gas jane gas from reduced supply through the node stream one pipeline. the u commission president us live on the lion propose her own energy saving funds, saying that lowering the thermostat by 2 degrees in every european household in the fates if step in replacing the entire gas supply coming from nordstrom one, the energy crisis is forcing you leaders to a dramatic, drastic measures, excuse me, to keep the tax plays and votes as warm several countries are now restarting and lifting sanctions on the use of coal fired power plants, which means the europe screen energy agenda appears to be going up in smoke as
11:06 pm
r t show davinsky explains the headlines, a clear russia's so called gas war on the e. u is pushing. no, it's forcing europe to go back to burning. one of the dirtiest fossil fuels around coal once considered black gold, coal had fallen from grace d to its polluting properties. but as a russian gas deliveries are being squeezed, countries including germany in netherlands, italy, and austria. oh, all looking to fire a long dormant coal power plants back up. this is painful, but it is a sheer necessity in this situation to reduce gas consumption. but if we don't do it, then we run the risk that the storage facilities will not be full enough at the end of the year towards the winter season. and then we are blackmail level on a political level that almost makes it sound like the e was in fact, keen to keep buying gas from russia. yet the union has signaled the exact opposite
11:07 pm
. although it still wanted to be the one to decide when the taps were turned off from did he of jake, when it comes to energy, we're working together on how to use the gas resources of the western mediterranean to develop renewable energy. we want to reduce our dependency on russian gas and to accelerate the energy transition in accordance with the climate objectives. we have set forward remote. and while you leaders are blaming the current war in ukraine's the shift to coal, the move actually came long before february 24th figures show that electricity generated by coal in the e. u jumped by 19 percent in the last 3 months of 2021 compared to the previous year. all of this is a massive headache for the european commission, which has been pushing the idea of the green, a gender commission. chief ursula vaughan. delane doesn't one. the i taken off the emerald price, we have to make sure that we use this crisis to move forward and to avoid sliding
11:08 pm
back towards the dirty fossil fuels. it's a fine line and it has not yet been determined whether or not we're going to take the right turn. that may be falling on deaf is though a some eo countries look to capitalize on the return to coal. the check for public says its own energy security trumps the broader green, a gender. if there is a gas cut this winter, we will burn anything. we can to keep our people warm and produce electricity. that's probably not the best stance for the country that's about to assume the rolling e u presidency. european climate campaign as are also furious over the move back to coal, but they are also pointing out what they call e hypocrisy. as the union still claims that it wants to be a global climate champion. and as the energy situation grows more dire across the you political leaders and now turning to calling on their taxpayers and voters to
11:09 pm
conserve energy to cut gas consumption with rationing also said to be on the table . but in the meantime, europe seems to have little choice, but to feed the green agenda to the hungry fires, the dirty coal power plants, senior research fellow at the global policy institute. thank george. some welly, things that you should rethink. it's energy policies. well, they're always stay focused on trying to ha roster, and that was does need to raise the question. i mean, who do these politicians represent the you're supposed to have elected leaders who are elected by the people? do you actually care about your own people about your own voters? whatever else you can say about europe? yeah, you know, we've got wealthy states that can look us citizens, essentially europeans and now admitting that we're heading towards a winter in which people are going to get very cold. ready and in many cases,
11:10 pm
quite hungry, this is an absolute shame and a disgrace for europe. ah, now the news, the us treasury secretary has said that some tariffs imposed by the previous administration like a strategic purpose, unburden american consumers with higher costs. we all recognize that china engage is in a range of unfair trade practices that is important to address. but the terrace we inherited some serve no strategic purpose and raised cost to consumers or the move to possibly cuts. harris on impulse from china seems to be a mechanism to tackle skyrocketing inflation and good shortages in the u. s. but meanwhile, over in china, the sanctions earlier imposed by washington on microchips applies have shown unexpected results. that sorry, if intended to damage the chinese economy, have apparently failed to achieve their aims. since 2020, when the u. s. restricted chip sales to some major tech companies. domestic
11:11 pm
production and overseas demand have risen last year orders from a foreign countries for chinese chips rose by 58 percent which also sales reaching a record of $150000000000.00. well let's discuss this now with dr. jack rasmus, professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college in california. welcome against the program dot j rasmus. now we see the u. s. is taking a closer look at this policy of tariffs towards china. what do you think is behind this decision on is timing? well, there's 2 races. you inferred one at the beginning and that is right now. inflation is running pretty hot. u. s. looks like it's going to continue will throughout the summer will elections coming up by noon is desperately looking for any and many means by which he can reduce inflation, reduce the cost for consumers in any way can. and of course, there's a lot of goods that come from china and there's a half the tariff on them so he can reduce that tariff. he hopes that he can take
11:12 pm
a little pressure off the price increases, and he's engage in all kinds of efforts. here, you know, offset the cost would maybe trying to lower insulin cost, which is the marketing. he's a gas tax holiday. in other words, it's kind of eclectic or do everything, whatever you can, but don't take on the oil companies because they're responsible for over half of the cost increase in inflation and us. so he's trying to lower prices. and that's one way i don't think that's going to work very well. but there's a more important strategic no meaning to this, as a human said, it says no strategic purposes. she said, well, under trompe, try to use terrorist strategically and he totally failed against china. when the u . s. law launched the trade war in march of 2018, there were 3 objectives. want to get child to buy more u. s. foreign products to to allow a u. s. bank staff,
11:13 pm
51 percent ownership in china, and 3 to somehow slow down. stop by china's plans for next generation technology, artificial intelligence, 5, g, and all the rest. that was what the pentagon in the military industrial complex wanted. the bankers wanted of if they want to present, well, you know, it totally failed as parents, as a strategic weapon. janet did not end up buying more foreign products. yeah, it gave bank 51 percent ownership, but it did that to everybody. and even before the, you know, you know, the trade war began and it totally us totally failed trying to use tariffs to get china to slow down. it's next generation technology plan. so it was a total strategic failure. and of course, if it's a failure, then it's not going to be a success now, and that's why they're saying it has no strategic purpose as and it seems to have backfired. now, as
11:14 pm
a former us ambassador has said that we're time to be lifted against chinese impulse. it could reduce inflation in the u. s. by up to one percent. would that would the consumers in us feel this in their pockets? and do you think that would be enough to say change the polls for abide and come to mid terms? well, 1st of all, it's not enough and i don't know where he comes up with those figures. i'd like to see his model and his assumptions that he can figure out it will reduce inflation by one percent. but even if it does, you know, a, she's running pretty hard to say and a half 9 percent. i think it's going to rise over the summer even further for various reasons. in an article i just wrote the anatomy of inflation. so i don't think if it is one present that is going to have much of an impact at all economically and certainly no impact politically liberal. one issue going into the elections in november is a runaway inflation and the administration not really doing much about it. and i
11:15 pm
believe that there's going to be another big issue and that could appear even by november. and that is recession in the u. s. as the fed jack separates its rates to 4 to 5 percent it's, it's a benchmark federal funds rate. i've been predicting that that's going to precipitate a recession. as the u. s. a bus for my boss, there was david edelman, so that was his name. and you were sort of the sanctions on michael chips in china, which as we touched on has really boosted the industry over there. and do you think that the west will not change its approach when it comes to sanctions? as a result of this impacts and the positive effects is hard on china. no, i think a, you know, the sanctions that are being tested out there by the u. s. with russia are, are eventually going to be administered in the economic war that's being b, b, and plan with china. and i think china knows that, i think, you know, at some point a modus vivendi reach between us nato and russia. at some point. who
11:16 pm
knows when then china knows that the target is going to be placed on them. you know, into to 2016 the rand corporation predicted that, you know, china is the number one challenge your enemy. and if the u. s. wants to go to china is going to have to neutralize russia 1st. well, we're right in the middle of that strategy our way, but the chinese know their next that's in u. s. is already preparing in a pacific sanctions are coming their way and what they're doing obviously is preparing by investing and bringing that production home while so we'll have you on again when those sanctions are imposed dot j rasmus professor of economics and politics are st. mary's college of california pleasure talk on the show. my pleasure. ah, 132 people are being killed in attacks by jihadist rebels in the west african
11:17 pm
country of molly over the weekend. local status is let me extremists systematically shot civilians. miss oven is on your jaw. they came, they said to the people, you are not muslims. in the felony language, they took the men a 100 people went out with them after 2 kilometers. they systematically shot people . that's one is also said differences of tucker, these different attacks show the weakness of the terrorists, because usually terrorists would attack the camps and the security posts. but now we see that the terrorists are attacking peaceful citizens. it means that they are in a week position. so what am i gonna find the massacres are very painful for me. it's the same for all malins, where we can't sleep at night when we think about the situation that marty is going through, it's not good. terrorists must stop with these barbaric ax our armed forces are working. we have to accompany them with our prayers. it's our so place in 3 villages in the central region of multi and has already been described as one of the deadliest incidents since the else outbreak of the conflict. in molly local
11:18 pm
authority, se fights as lucid villages unborn dom buildings 3 days of national morning begun on tuesday with the government pledging to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. that are y'all gonna, now i comes against the backdrop of france as 9 years of attempts to secure the region against terrorist groups. the malia prime minister, however, earlier said that his power is fueling to him all in the region. comp. ok, is it one moment, one is an grantham, did the french authorities are carrying out genuine, political media and diplomatic terrorism against our government? with the aim of overthrowing it? don't you create chaos? you arm people, you tell them to go into vide molly? the separate as clearly said that it was france that was behind the separatist movements of 2011. from libya, the leaders of the movement said france, it instigated them to invade north and molly and divided and create an independent state. we're not the one saying that it is the leaders of this movement who say so and are supported by french politicians seems the un reports the security situation
11:19 pm
is deteriorates. and in another african states, that's the democratic republic of congo, enough, despite military rule imposed by the government last year. east african leaders have agreed to send a regional security forces to defeat rebels in the congress, eastern provinces. the m 23 armed rebel group has the city of goma. one of the country's main trading hopes located near the rwandan border and its sides. rebels had seized several key towns admitted major offensive. last month. rwanda reported late will not take part in the military operation. congo accuses this neighbor of supporting the group over many years, locos claim the global community should have taken decisive measures long ago. liberalism, security. the security problem of our country does not attract the attention of international community. and suddenly we're interested in this international community thinks that what doesn't go our numbers or if they're really humans like them. you get delicate. well, if i do not agree with this regional force,
11:20 pm
which will be deployed here in the democratic republic of congo. as you know, there have been several initiatives by the congo, use government to eradicate rebel groups here in the province of north cable. in any case until now we have not yet seen the direct involvement of the international community because there have been no sanctions against for wanda. so the paperless situation where we're concerned about the current security situation, things are getting worse and we have the impression that the international community does not care about our situation in the east of the d. r. c. the social conditions of life are so degrading that it should interest every one of the lower half of the world's cobalt reserves, which is the minimal use to many electronic devices. and cars are located in congo, professor to me. it's the no co on a, from the university of south africa leaves any further escalation of the conflicts in the country could have severe consequences, the global economy there this is very well
11:21 pm
funded, especially my, for i, for, for my call on tuesday when you're done a lot of, you know, so it's a decision on our country. so that is why we see such a be fine. but i have to do a lot of them over to a guy because you will not to read a like i said, because of the economy invest in the account. it is there is in that, if it is yes to you, the situation of that particular account the years pledged more than 1800000000 euros to help address food insecurity. and several african regions where
11:22 pm
millions of people are on the brink of starvation. however, that humanitarian aid package is less than a 2000000000 euros, that european union countries spend on weapons to ukraine, raising questions on whether you use foreign policy process is really our. meanwhile, despite our meeting that more than 1700000 people in south sudan require food assistance to avoid starvation. united nations has suspended hutto humanitarian aid to them. something a funding crunch, and rising needs caused by the conflict in ukraine. u. n. says it must. now diversify is destinations of food 8 to focus on helping other countries on regions in need. the organization's food program has claim that is exhausted, all alternatives before making the tough decision to live it's, it's a to self so done. we go reaction from some local people who say the u. s. decision cannot be justified when so many lives are on the line. how flooding we have economic crises, they have a lot of crisis. it's also done. so as we assess,
11:23 pm
it needs, we need help. we are asking for help. so and then the u. n is the one who has been approved providing us the basic needs. if they call this needs, how are we going to survive as this? oh, so then these, how isn't it can never be fair. not only is that people have talked to them, but anyway, because in africa mingling, we defend them from other countries. so much here is also that we're paying a lot of problems, hunger no education. actually we don't have enough because all around 1000 needs are depending on what foot program is. there were no card but it's the foot, but all the people we need more support from the world. and finally, amid the global energy crisis, the u. s. presidency having to re add to an international conference that will also include a meeting with the saudi crown prince enough,
11:24 pm
despite the leaders walkie relationship ortiz. donal call to folks through the details. one day he's calling the saudi crown prince names and the other jo biden's, apparently on his way to re ads, to ask him for a favor, washington begging saudi arabia to lower global oil prices by increasing production . i think he will meet with the saudi crown prince. he has asked for all suppliers around the globe to increase production. that includes opec that includes our domestic oil and gas producers. he's asking for an increase like other leaders around the globe, except biden himself says he's not actually going to be meeting with the crown prince. mm. it should come as no surprise that there'd be confusion in washington about where to stand on this. after all the u. s presidents long headed out for prince solomon's government. never since the murder of saudi dissident journalist jamal cas shoji in 2018 on the campaign trail biden promised he would pull no punches
11:25 pm
when it came to disciplining the saudi parias state could show. he was in fact murdered and dismembered. i believe in the order of the crown prince, we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact, pariah that they are at the same time the mainstream media looks like it's trying to help bite and safely back track on all the mean things he said about prince salman in the past articles about respecting each other's core interests and bite and needing riyadh have become more and more common as of late following the trail of money in oil though. and the real reason for biden's, 180 becomes crystal clear. in the near term, the companies have a very powerful market. incentive prices are high and their profit and profit margins are high. and what we are encouraging is that they take those and put those profits to work to increase production. how quickly washington ditched its moral posturing once its feet were held to the fire. all of the sudden saudi arabia's indiscriminate bombing campaigns and yemen, or of no interest to the united states,
11:26 pm
the same campaigns that have drawn international condemnation as war crimes, and largely have relied on us support. goes without saying, human rights groups aren't exactly happy about those developments. there's a part of me that understands why diplomatically we've gotten to this point, but it's also frightening and enraging shows his wife isn't exactly thrilled either mister by to you fully to. so they have you as president, you'll meet with jim all this executor, nice honoring. you'll sir. and jim all by meeting and be us. if you have to put oil over the principal and expediency over values, can you at least range um of money? no heat is appropriate and what's helping to his killer. surely it was easy for by to talk about principles before he became president, but problems as big as a global energy crisis,
11:27 pm
sometimes call for sacrifices to be made. still going to saudi arabia, whatever happened to exploiting america's own energy resources, the head of his travel to the middle east next month, we urge the president to prioritize unlocking u. s. energy resources that are the envy of the world. instead of increasing reliance on foreign sources, this administration is not looking to, to actual american world companies like those in texas and midland, texas, the keystone oil pipeline and the dakotas in united states that goes through canada . all these things that the bible ministration shut down on day one. and so with all of these people that the millions, the job, the cost, the gas prices, so a job, i'm still going overseas to try to shift the blame to somebody else or to try to find reprieve somewhere else. anybody other than helping american companies helping american employees, helping american businesses with their, our own in home oil production,
11:28 pm
joe biden has made several comments. negative comments about the crown prince of saudi arabia. comic in some ice. not only attributing him as a murderer, but literally same quote, wind saudi ready for riah, on the world stage. and so now he's having to go there and basically rob with their feet to somebody who is not quite happy with comments that the current president has made about them in the recent past. to grovel to ask for things because our gas prices are so high, you know what it, what it's telling us right now is that one, he doesn't care about, or u. s. jobs really doesn't care. but actually they've seen the gas prices. it seems that this administration by mistake will turn a blind eye to just about anything to avoid helping the american people. how the world is looking at 6, 28 am moscow time on pizza scott's on the back again with another look at today's biggest stories. and just over half an hour with
11:29 pm
i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point obviously is too great trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with
11:30 pm
a with hello and welcome to cross hob. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle, irreversible split. this is probably the most accurate way to describe russia relationship with the west today. but this did not have to be the west attempts to cripple the russian economy. have failed, as well as the attempt to isolate russia. the west is isolated itself.
