failed, as well as the attempt to isolate russia. the wes is isolated itself with the need to establish something like this, a command center. any place is good enough, even the cemetery are the visits heavily fortified positions abandoned by the ukrainian army near the town of a russian and allied forces continued the mining territories taken from his forces . energy rationing may seem be a reality if a 1000000 plus the warning from islands. the commissioner, i mean the blogs growing energy crisis with joe biden slammed by human rights groups are focusing on energy policies rather than moral values. and he's of green visit to saudi arabia and molly is in national morning

a tag which left more than 130 civilians debt with july for my headquarters in the russian capital on broadcasting to the world. you're watching international. i'm peter scott bringing you the top stories early this wednesday morning. and we start this out with the latest developments from the conflict in ukraine. that in years people's republic has seen heavy shelling with the city of mckiver targets it by ukraine's armed forces. 15 rockets were fired at the city more one person was killed and 11 wounded, including 3 children. the capital city of dun yeske also came under fire by ukrainian forces, as, according to local officials, with shilling also continuing in several done yet in the new ganske people's republic. local authorities to say that he says he was targeted from the direction

of the assault chemical plants where you, cranium fights, is, are located in bustles, continue amid ongoing evacuations from this facility. so the civilians are reported to have left the punt during the day, and the mining operation continues in the dumbass republics with almost $30000.00 explosives and minds cleared by russian suppers. with the help of d, mining robots are eager to dana visits. one of the areas still to be the mind, a $45.00 position abandoned by the ukranian army near the town of us naya, 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 bmw.

i don't show any one that was good. it was mute on a trenches 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 as a researcher, 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 it cannot catch fire. and this is how the same firing position, which you have just seen from the inside, looks from the outside is 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 will 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 force is 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 bulky. forces in the swarm ethics is expendable decency is in excess. i'm english done of reporting from the don bass r t o. moving on now,

grim warnings are coming from ireland as the countries each commissioner says its energy rationing may be a new reality for millions of people. as soon as this year. fears of energy insecurity have increased since iron 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 miss the entire european block may need to consider energy rationing after rushing gas joint gas from the jew supplies to his nordstrom want pipeline. the u commission. presidents ursula on de leon proposed her own energy saving plan, saying that lowering the thermostat by 2 degrees in every european household is an effective step in replacing the entire gas supply coming from nordstrom one. now then of course it is forcing you lead us to take drastic measures to keep that taxpayers and voters warm. several countries are now restarting and lifting

restrictions on the use of coal fired power plants, which means that europe green energy agenda appears to be growing up in smoke has showed 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 g 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 their long dormant coal power pants 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 for all 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 into excel, or it the energy transition in accordance with climate objectives we have set forward and so you'll get directly, ma'am. and while e leaders are blaming the current war in ukraine for 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 fuel. 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 is 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, senior research fellow, the global policy institute thing. thank george. some early believes that the you should rethink his energy policies. well they always stay focused on. 1 trying to rush stress and that was does the lead raise the question? i mean, who do these politicians represent? you're supposed to have elected leaders who are elected by the people? do you actually care about your own people about your own? go to whatever else you can say about europe. yeah, you know, we've wealthy states that can look that isn't

essentially europeans and now admitting we're heading towards a winter in which people are going to get very cold. ready and in many cases, quite congress. this is an absolute shame and disgrace for europe. amid the growing global energy crisis, the us president joe biden confirmed his bonds to visit saudi arabia. now this caused outrage among some human rights advocates for putting business over his own vows. to make a pariah because of the murder of jealous jamal. because all g, back in 2018 by dint has made it clear that there won't be any direct consequences for m. b s for murdering cache shogi. unfortunately, the visit is the equivalent of a presidential. pardon for murder and m b. s. would perceive it is the bite in issued license to kill more showcase. it is the trail for jamal cash. okay, so yeah, and then, and if the trail of the democratic party credited the last 3 years, one day he's calling the saudi crown prince names and the other jo biden's

apparently on his way to re adds 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. ah, 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 bite and 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 to 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 re add, 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 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 . mister vidal, you'll phone me, the, so they have you, as president. they, you meet with jamal this executor, this 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 a gym of money? no, he's a pro program. and what happened to his pillow? surely, it was easy for bye 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 exploring america's own energy resources,

the head of his travel to the middle east. next month, we urge the president to prioritize unlocking us 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 oil 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 biden administration 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? there are only in home oil production. joe biting has made several comments negative comments about the crown friends, saudi arabian mohammedans on negative,

not only attributing him as a murderer, but literally same quote, wind saudi rigging, country for riah, on the world stage. and so now he's having to go there and basically wobble 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 isn't here, but actually fixing the gas prices. it seems that this administration biding his vision will turn to blind eye to just about anything to avoid helping the american people. in the news, a 132 people have been killed in a tags by jewish rebels in the west african country of 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 to perform a different attack or children weakness of the terrorists. because usually terrorists would attack the camps and the security posts, but now we'll see that the terrorists are attacking peaceful citizens. it means that they are in a week with my work fighting the massacres are very painful for me. it's asking for mom where you can't sleep at night when you think about the situation that marty is going through, it's not good terrorists must stop with these barbaric acts up armed forces are working for we have to accompany even with our prayers. it's i so place in 3 villages in the central region of matsui and has already been described as one of the deadliest incidents since the outbreak of the conflict to molly local authorities to say, fight as looted, villages and burned down buildings 3 days of morning have begun on tuesday with the government pledging to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. now it

comes against the backdrop of france is 9 years of attempts to secure the region against a terrorist groups. the malia prime minister, however, earlier said that his paris is fueling the turmoil in the region comp, obviously, or more williamson grounds room did is the french authorities are carrying out genuine political media and diplomatic terrorism against our governmental or the aim of overthrowing it. don't. did you create chaos? you armed people, so could you tell them to go into vide molly? the separate as clearly said that it was france that was behind the some of his movements of 2011. from libya, the leaders of the movement set francis instigated them to invade northern molly and divided and create an independent state ali takara from the center for security and strategic studies in the sol. so the french troops have proven effective in combating terrorism in the region. so you sambal it that i saw 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 independence fighters and islamic terrorist groups. but at the same time, this operation gave the opportunity for the molly and army to return to its former glory. many had pointed out with regard 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 others to hell fire. these shortcomings lead to the fact that ultimately france was unable to put an end to the security problems associated with errors. and as of now, the reason is completely abandoned in terms of joint military operation. 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 joint military operation of molly in these years as well as the unforeseen and uncoordinated withdrawal of french truth. and as

a result of all this hell has become a very unstable region opened all kinds of hostility units reported that the security situation is deteriorating in and other african states, the democratic republic of congo. and this, despite the 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 emperor d 3 armed rebel group has the city of goma, which is one of the country's main trading hopes located near the one to border and its sides. the rebels have sees several key towns emitted major offensive last month. rwanda report, the lead will not take part in the military operation, and congo accused his name of supporting the group. over many years, locals claim the global community should have taken decisive measures long ago. little em security stated in the security problem of our country does not a truck, the attention of the international community. and suddenly we're interested in this international community to things that it, what dies in congo are in numbers,

or if they are really, humans like them was not, it brisket 30 give with 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 got to eradicate on rebel groups here in the province of north q. u. in any case, until now we have not yet seen the direct involvement of the international community. because there have been no sanctions against or wanda has been so close to people. as you, joshua were concerned about the current security situation when things are getting worse. and we have the impression that the international community does not care about our situation. the system in the east of the d r. c. the social conditions of life are so degrading that it should interest every one of them all. the god doth goods hydra. now over half of the world's cobalt reserves, which is the mineral used in many electronic devices on cars, are located in congo, professor to me. it's an, a co, on a, from the university of south africa believes the any further escalation of the conflicts in the country could have severe consequences for the global economy.

look, there go over this very well funded, especially my, for i, for, for my call now. do you guys do that when you're done the conflict? so there's quite a lot of so it's like one decision, one company that i dislike. so i should be fine. whatever to do or to succeed the book or loves the equipment, opportunities to you about those in the simpler illegal region. but we're not, we're not the standard economy of the companies control up. like i said, because of the economy, invest in that account was validated. the account it is there is in that interface is yes to you, the situation or quality douglas comp us treasury secretary has

said that sometimes imposed by the previous administration like a strategic purpose, unburdened 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 terrorists, we inherited some serve no strategic purpose and raised cost to consumers that move to potentially cut taurus on imports from china does seem to be a mechanism to cycle skyrocketed, inflation on goods shortages in the u. s. boats. meanwhile, over in china, the sanctions earlier imposed by washington on mike's ship supplies have shown unexpected results. the sanctions intended to damage the chinese economy have apparently failed to achieve their aims. since 2020, when the u. s. restricted ship sales to china, the domestic production and overseas demand have risen. last year, orders from foreign countries for chinese. chips rose 58 percent with total sales, which in a record of $150000000000.00, dozen jack ross,

miss professor of economics and politics says these policies initiated by the trump administration where failure. well, under trump, re try to use stairs strategically, any totally failed against china. when the 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 bank at 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 is 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, this something of a diplomatic anomaly taking place in us, in the relations of the position of us and busted to india. a german vacant for a record 18 months. the previous us ambassador term expired back in january 2021. while last year president by the nominated the mayor of los angeles. i got 30 for the job. the son is still not approved. his moved to new delhi all to contribute. the r t ticket brings us up to date on the issue. not been last 18 months. the position of the us has to make it. this is by far the youngest stretch for the past due india being re, kids and baby. i also indicates that the bye didn't appointee

is a sensitive issue in the us because a republican senator how holly objected appointments saying that he does not represent american values. it doesn't be who the us to say. i think did get it to india, which is gone. so there's an important and i in fact up guy says he has been closed in june biden. and was also a member of the us intelligence soon after use a quite make he don't the react in the us that he is going to emphasize diversification of india system. essentially, he was hinting that she would like to limit india as partnership with russia in defense sector. as we know that india depends

on russia or most of its records. but so i thought i had to be allied with russia by tremendous coming to washington d. c. especially on the issue all you bring your war less often out. my name is peter scotts and i'll be back again to the top of the i will the latest news and views rides. hey on oxy international. thank you for watching. i'll see you then. oh when i was shown the wrong one, i'll just don't move any new world that you have to shape out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. this is only one with true lanka, has become the for the southeast asian country in 2022, unable to pay its foreign debt. this total is $51000000000.00. you wouldn't be doing the vol reading face such a economic challenge with the sanctions imposed by western countries against russia had brought this island nation to its needs. oil prices have skyrocketed as a petrol medicine and food for the laser. bryce as foreigner who on the status on my family example is asking them to pull social,

connect them to the door. what are some of, with, with that or thousands of people took to the streets and this is just the beginning of a similar scenario. could unfolding bangladesh, nick o, pakistan and other asian countries in africa. this new america, little, the freeman, the indian john spending from 30000000, which was 20 in your book, you with a reversible split. this is probably the most accurate way to describe brush his 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

a so let's say that we stood up almost a year with 1st week which includes the clinical with all

my shows, your, your shame, the actual, your study. can you look at them? i don't they still sometimes they get, you know what i mean that's good to me. yeah. a good deal with the medicaid. yeah, yeah. no role. it's not my i'm a lead to just monitoring the paul marsh shobel. it's a shop personally to be a modem with with .
