i was a responsibility for the whole we need to make rules for the rest. because with out there with mm ah, we need to establish something like this. a command center. any place is good enough. even the cemetery odyssey visits heavily $45.00 positions abundant by the ukraine army near the tunnel plan. as russian and allied forces continue. d, my surgery is taken from kids forces. energy rationing may soon be a reality for millions. that's the warning from island, the commissioner made the blogs growing energy crisis. as let me take stream is creeps advancing several african states over the weekend,

leaving more than 130 civilians dead. east african leaders agreed to use regional security forces circle the problem with must go to the world. this is our international i and peter scott's and these the top stories this hour. we start off with the latest developments from the conflicts in ukraine. the done yet people's republic has seen heavy shelling with a city of makia, targeted by ukraine's armed forces. 15 rockets were fired at the city. one person was killed and 11 wounded, including 3 children. the capital city of the next also came under fire by ukrainian forces, according to local officials, with showing also continuing several n. yes, little guns people's republic. local authorities say the city was targeted from the direction of the chemical plant where you can, you fights as our holdup muscles continue amid on going evacuations from the facility. there is a liens or reports of less of funds during the day. under the mining operation

continues in the dorm bus republics with almost 30000 explosives and mines cleared by russian suppers with the help of the mining robots. ortiz eager to donovan visits one of the areas still to be the mind, a fortified position abundant 5 ukrainian army near the tunnel for pass naya, which saw a 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 ukranian 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. i don't show up when you might notice because this was mute on

a crunches deep enough to safely shelter a man of average height sprout across the area. amid concrete laden fortifications, we find western supplied weapons ukrainian troops abandoned in a hurry, as they fled, logo of a community. this is a permanent fortification. if we go inside, we can see the reinforce 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 so, 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

a fortification like this one. ah, and these are the remains of a cluster munition that the ukrainian forces used against their former own abandoned well of fortifications. these type of munition is bound to pretty much all over the world. as we explore this labyrinth, 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 full key forces in the swarm. ethics is expendable decency is an excess. i'm a get done of reporting from the don bass. r t o gray mornings are coming from ireland as the countries e u commissioner says that energy rationing may be a new reality for millions of people. as soon as this year phase of energy security

have increased since ireland 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 commissioner has admitted the entire european block may need to consider energy rationing after russian gas giant gas from reduce supplies through his gnawed stream one pipeline. the u commission. president ursula on the line proposed her own energy saving plan, saying that lowering the thermostats by 2 degrees in every european household would benefits if step in replacing the entire gusts of light coming from node stream one . the energy crisis is forcing you leaders to take drastic measures to keep their taxpayers and voters warm. several countries are now restarting and lifting restrictions on the use of coal fired power plants, which means europe's green energy agenda appears to be going up in smoke. as i see, 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, the 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 black malibu 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. although it still wanted to be the one to decide when the taps were

turned off in front of the 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 lima. 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 want the i taken off the emerald price. we have to make sure that we use this crisis to move forward and to avoid sliding 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 ear 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 campaigners 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 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 was seen a research fellow, the global policy institute thing time, george, somewhere these things is the you should, we think it's energy policies well they're always focused on. 1 trying to roster, and that it was does raise the question, i mean, who do these politicians represent the human 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, we've got wealthy states that can look citizen, essentially europeans and now admitting that we're heading towards a windsor in which people are going to get very cold. ready and in many cases,

quite hungry, this is an absolute shame and a disgrace for europe. ah, well, amid the growing global energy crisis, us president joe biden has confirmed funds to visit saudi arabia facing all quick questions over the countries rocky relationships. r t dot com that talks 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 add to ask him for a favor. washington's 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 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, the 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 a sudden, saudi arabia's indiscriminate bombing campaigns and yemen are of no interest to the united states. 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 . mr. biden. you for me to. so they have you as president, very you, me, to, with jamal horses executor. nice honoring you'll sir. and jamal by meeting and be us. if you have to put oil over the principal and expediency over value, can you at least aven gym of money?

no, he's a pro program and what happened 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, 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 at $22.00 actual american well, companies like those in texas and midland, texas, the keystone oil pipeline and, 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 storing 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 healthy american companies helping american boys helping american businesses with their our own in home world production, joe biden has made several comments. negative comments about the crown france saudi arabia gonzales. not only attributing him as a murderer, but literally same quote, wine saudi rigging. country for riah on the world stage, and so now he's having to go there and basically rumble at 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? are you as jobs, he really doesn't care about actually, they've seen the gas prices. it seems that this administration biding ministration will turn a blind eye to just about anything to avoid helping the american people moving

on. so the news now, 132 people have been killed in attacks by jihadist rebels in the west african country molly over the weekend, local se islamic extremists systematically shot civilians miss of any 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 of the 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. we attacked so place in 3

villages in the central region of multi and has already been described as one of the deadliest incidents since the outbreak of the conflict. molly, local authorities say the fights as looted villages unborn dumb buildings. the days of national morning begun on tuesday with the government pledging to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. i comes against the bi job. all fronts is 9 years of attempts to secure the region against terrorist groups. the molly and prime minister of earlier said that is paris. fueling the term on in the region. on prom focus it will moment wounds and grounds room did is the french authorities are carrying out genuine political media and diplomatic terrorism against our government. with the aim of overthrowing it. 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 northern molly and divide it and create an independent

state. oh ali, it's one kara, from the center for security and strategic studies in the sa hello, says the french troops have proved ineffective in combating terrorism in the region . so you sound to look at us speaking about operation service. it can be stated that it failed, because not only did molly fail to regain a significant number of territories occupied simultaneously by independent fighters and islamic terrorist groups. but at the same time, this operation gave the opportunity for the molly, an army to return to its former glory. many have pointed out with regards to the military actions of france in this region. the ineffectiveness of military cooperation between the participants of the french mission, the 1000000 army, as well as the combined forces of the cell 5. these shortcomings led to the fact that ultimately france was unable to put an end to the security problems associated with terrorism. as of now, the reason is completely abandoned in terms of joint military operations. since each army fights in isolation without making efforts to harmonize and structure

joined efforts to end the instability associated with terrorism. the current security situation is connected with withdraw the army of burkina faso with a termination of the joint military operation of molly in the air, as well as the unforeseen and uncoordinated withdrawal of french troops. and as a result of all this, this hell has become a very unstable region. opened all kinds of hostilities or the un report, the security situation is deteriorating in another african state of the democratic republic of congo. despite the military rule imposed by the government last year, east african leaders have agreed to send a regional security forces to defeat the rebels in the congress eastern provinces. the m 23 armed rebel group has the city of goma, which is one of the country's main trading homes and located near the one to border and its sides. the rebels have seen several t towns amid a major offensive last month. rwanda reportedly will not take part in the military operation. congo accuses his neighbor of supporting the group over many years.

local claim, the global community should have taken decisive measures long ago. liberal em security stated in the secure the problem over countries is not the truck retention of international community. and suddenly we're interested in this international community thinks that what does it can go our numbers or if they are really humans like them, get delicate. well, if i do not agree with this regional force, which will be deployed here in the democratic republic of congo. as you know, there have been several initiatives by the congo. use governments to eradicate rebel groups here in the province of north keybo. 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 well

over half the world's cobalt reserves, which is the mineral used in many electronic devices. and cars are located in congo professors to meet the no co on a from the university of south africa believes that any further escalation of the conflict in the country could severe consequences for the global economy do their job. this is very well funded, especially my for i for, for my call on tuesday when you're down to the county southwest corner. lot of you know, so the 2nd decision on our country. so that is why we seen such a big fund whatever's to do or to start seabrook or a lot of the economy over to you. a guy, a guy, because you will not to read a like i said, because of the economy,

invest in that account is going to mean it is there is in that interface, please. yes. to you. the situation of god, i can't and now there's something of a diplomatic anomaly taking place in u. s. in the relations as a position of us ambassador to india hasn't been vacant for a record 18 months. the previous years and busted term expired back in january 2021 . while last year president biden nominated the mayor of los angeles, mary, gus, etc. for the job, the senate has still not approved to his move to new delhi assay contributor, r t tick. who brings us up to date on the issue. looked at last 18 months. the position of the us in yeah, has made break it. this is by far the youngest stretch for us passenger to india, be raking. and benny,

i'm sure also indicates that the by didn't appointee is a sensitive issue in the us because it probably consented just how quality objective, right man saying that he does not represent american values. it doesn't be who the us to say. i didn't get it up to india, which is gone. so there's an important and i in fact up guy city has been closed in june biden. and was also a member of the us intelligence. soon after his appointment. he door back in the us that he is going to emphasize diverse, the for cation in the system. essentially, he was hinting that she would like to limit india as partnership rig

russia. any defend sector. as we know that in india depends on russia or most of its records, but so far has been being jane and i like a partner with russia despite tremendous. fisher coming to washington dc, especially on the issue all you bring in war movie on now the us treasury secretary has said there's some type of imposed by the previous administration, like a strategic purpose, unburden american consumers with higher costs. we all recognize that china engages in a range of unfair trade practices that is important to address. but the terrorists, we inherited some serve no strategic purpose and res, cost to consumers for the musical highest unemployed from china seems to be

a mechanism to tackle skyrocketed inflation and goods shortages in the u. s. boats . meanwhile, over in china, the sanctions earlier imposed by washington on micro trip supplies have shown unexpected results. the sanctions intended to damage the chinese economy have apparently failed to achieve the aims since 2020, when the u. s. restricted chip sales to china, their domestic production and overseas demand have risen. last year orders from foreign countries for chinese chips rose 58 percent with total sales reaching a record, $150000000000.00. but the jack, rasmus, professor of economics and politics said these policies initiated by the trump administration were a failure. well under trial, please try to use stairs strategically. any totally failed against china. when u. s. 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 us banks to 51 percent ownership in china,

and 3, to somehow slow down. stop china's plans for next generation technology. the same she was that are being tested out by the u. s. with russia are eventually going to be administered in the economic war that's being been being plan which i, 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 knows when then china knows that the target is going to be placed on them. and finally, stop policies. politicizing talks on health care that was the message from the russian deputy health minister, who q some members of the g 20 of using the ongoing. some is to condemn moscow over the ukraine conflict. we are asking our colleagues not to politicize g 20 health

platform and stay within our mandate and discuss health care representatives on the us, britain, australia, and canada. blame to russia for plunging ukraine's health care system into chaos. the cruncher of the g 20 group is struggling to keep the members united as a western countries pushed to exclude russia over its military action in ukraine. author and journalist daniela's are says, it's hypocritical for the us to speak about the damage done to painting health care . its tremendous hypocrisy on the part of the g. 20. i mean, 1st of all, number one, nato provoked this war. nato ignored russia's objections all along. so responsibility for the law for the war really lies with nato number one. and number 2, since ones that g 20 really care, but the about health care throughout the world. us doesn't even have a, a national health care system. oh, it's been affected by due to inflation and food shortages and fuel shortages. i

mean, i, people, there's, there's famine in the global south. and there are and medicines are, are increasingly expensive. and that adversely affects the health care health standard. the g 20 is the richman club, the world's richman rich ma'am. and so therefore it represents a, a, an economically privileged sector of the global population. and so no, i think that the, the g 20 in general has, has a sensually not been very equitable in terms of the global policies the pursues. and that the, the global south, the 3rd world has definitely paid a price for that was the main. you stories this wednesday morning, hale nazi international for more on any of them. do you head over to you dot com 90 to scotts on the back with another log in just over 30 minutes. thank you.
