i don't know who do i know for the don't know as much just to do, give me a minute to do use for us to come up with a if we need to establish something like this, a command center, any place is good enough. even the cemetery, the visits heavily fortified positions abandoned by the ukrainian army. neither of us, no russian and allied forces continue, do mine, thirty's, taken from kids forces. energy rationing may soon be a reality for millions. that's the warning from ireland. you, commissioner, i made the blogs growing, get into crisis, a betrayal from joe biden, calmness the international slums, the u. s. president moral posture and he's look clean. visit to saudi arabia

with molly is in the national morning over the deadly you. how does the talk which left more than $136.00 with you from our headquarters in moscow and broadcasting to the world you're watching out scenes national. i'm peter scott. i'm wherever you join us from. welcome to the program. we start with the latest developments in ukraine. the done, yes. people's republic has seen heavy shelling with the city of mackey africa. targeted by ukraine's armed forces. 15 rockets were fired out, the $51.00 person was killed in the 11 wounded, including 3 children. the capital of the net also came into 5 by you printed forces, according to local officials. showing also continues in several than yet in the guns people's republic, local authorities say the city was targeted. the direction of the assault chemical

plants where you funny faces are located. puzzles continue amid ongoing evacuations from the facility that the civilians are reported to have left the plant during the day. and a de mining operation continues in the dumbass republics with almost 30000 explosives and mines cleared by russian, suffers for the help of de mining robots. all his eagerness done of visits. one of the areas still to be the mind of $45.00 position abandoned by the union army and it's on a pass nyah, which so 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 when i was going to submit on them, yet 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 the welto 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, can i catch fire? and this is how the same firing position, which you have just seen from the inside, looks from the outside, this 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 for key forces in the swarm. ethics is expendable decency is in excess. i'm english done of reporting from the don bass r t. the mile

a semblance of normality in russian control churches were in the city of merits. awful. dozens of people arguing to get russian passports grew mornings are coming from ireland as the country is a you commissioner says that energy rationing may be a new reality for millions of people. as soon as this year phase of energy insecurity 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, as i mentioned, the entire european block may need to reconsider. consider as energy rushing after rushing gas giant gas from reduce supplies, there is no stream one pipeline. the you commission president us live on delay and proposed her own energy saving plan. so that lowering the thermostats by 2 degrees in every european household is an effective step and replacing the entire gas

supply coming from north stream one. now the energy crisis is forcing e u leaders to take drastic measures to keep that taxpayers on voters warm. several countries are now restarting and lifting restrictions on the use of coal fired power plants, which means that europe's green energy agenda appears to be going up in smoke because out the 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 g 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 their 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 for all, did he have 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 accelerate the energy transition in accordance with the climate objectives we have set forward and so you'll be directly mark. 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 agreeing 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 czech republic 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 at the global policy institute, things on george. some really believes that 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 supposed to have elected leaders were 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, we've got wealthy states that can look citizen, 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, quite hungry, this is an absolute shame and a disgrace for europe. amid the growing global energy crisis, us present, joe biden confirmed his funds to visit saudi arabia. this is cause outrage among some human rights advocates for putting business over his own vows. to make a pariah, that's because of the murder of journalists, jamal crystal g back in 2018 biden. has made it clear that there won't be any direct consequences for mohammed bin salman for murdering cache shogi. unfortunately, the visit is the equivalent of a presidential pardon for murder and m b s. with the c. it is the bite and issued

license to kill more showcase the trail for jamal cache. ok for yemen. 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 add to ask him for a favor. washington's begging saudi arabia to lower global oil prices. by increasing production, i think you 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 president's long had it 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 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 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 sub 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 her, so she's wife isn't exactly thrilled either. mister, by noon you are for me the day be as president in the you meet with jamal hotness executor. nice honoring your sir jamal by meeting m b. s. if you have to put all your over the principal and expediency over value, can you please all right, joe, buddy. he's on the proper rail. and what happened to his pillars? surely it was easy for biden to talk about principles before he became president,

but problems as big as a global energy crisis, sometimes called for sacrifices to be made. still going to saudi arabia, whatever happened to exploiting america's own energy resources ahead 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 at $22.00 actual american oil companies like those in texas and midland, texas, keystone oil pipeline, and the dakotas in united states that goes through canada. all the things that the by ministration shut down on day one. and so with all of these people that the 1000000, the job, the cost, the gas prices storing july, it is 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 employees, helping american businesses with their,

our own in home, oil production, moon on. so the news now 132 people have been killed in attacks by jihad is to rebels in the west african country molly, over the weekend, local se that islamic extremists systematically shot civilians. miss albany is on you. it was all they came. they said to the people, you are not muslims in the felony language, they took the men, i'll a 100 people went out with 2 kilometers. they systematically shot people. police officers said the frogs up the different a tangle show, neatness of the tears because usually dares would attack williams in the security pulse. but now leave are lacking. he's with citizens. it mean with air in a week. it was like, literally thought, what am i were fighting? the massacres are very painful for me. it's asking for a model number. you can't sleep at night when you think about a situation that marty is going through. it's not good. terrorists must stop with these barbara gas up,

our armed forces are working. so if we have to accompany and with our prayers, the inside. so place in 3 villages in the central region of multi and has been described already as one of the deadliest incidents since the outbreak of the conflict. molly, local authorities say fights as lucid villages unborn dumb buildings. 3 days of national morning begun on tuesday with the government pledging to find the best wishes and bring them to justice. now it comes against the backdrop of frances 9 years of attempts to secure the region against terrorist groups. the malia prime minister, the earliest said it's paris, fueling to them all in the region. comp up is hill mormon wounds. anger and john did is the french authorities are carrying out genuine political media and diplomatic terrorism against our government, with the aim of overthrowing it. don't, did you create chaos? you armed people, 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 said france had instigated them to invade northern

molly and divided and create an independent state to the book. ali tantara from the sense of full security and strategic studies in the style, says, friendships have proven effective in combating terrorism. 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, an army to return to its former glory. many have 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 of their cell 5 legs. 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 operation. this,

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 a joint military operation of molly in these years, as well as the unforeseen and uncoordinated withdraw a french troops. and as a result of all this hell has become a very unstable region opened all kinds of hostility to the un has reported. the security situation is deteriorating and another african states, the democratic republic of congo. and that's despite the ministry role imposed by the government. the last year, east african leaders have agreed to send regional security forces to defeat the rebels in the con, gleese eastern provinces. the m 23 armed rebel group has the city of goma, which is one of the country's main trading hopes located near that one and border in its sites. the rebels have sees several key towns amid a major offensive last month. rwanda report delete will not take part in the

minutes operation. and congo accused this neighbor of supporting the group of a many years local to claim the global community should have taken decisive measures long ago. liberal em security stated that the security problem over our country does not attract attention of international community. and suddenly we're interested in the international community of things that what does it can go our numbers or if they, every human, like them will get delicate will 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 government to eradicate and rebel groups here in the province of north kiva. in any case, until now we have not yet seen the direct involvement of the international community . because there have been no sanctions against wanna quote the paperless situation while we're concerned about the current security situation and 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's an interest every one of the and i don't know of a half of the world's cobalt reserve, which is the minimal used in many electronic devices and cars are located in congo, professor to me. it's a no coney from the university of south africa believes that any further escalation of the conflict in the country could have severe consequences of the global economy . still there go dorothy. this is very well funded, especially my for i, for, for my condo nice guy is that me, nor dougherty county sounds as quote, lot of the household, the 2nd decision on who would come to what i dislike with you. so i should be fine . but everybody did you were to psych seabrook or loves, they couldn't opportunities to do that. i bought was in the us and a lot of people in the great illegal engine, bob is asking guide cell because you will know that that's where we know

disgruntled economy of their culture is cont, off i'd, like i said, because of the economy, interest in that on to spirit garland did mean harassment account. it is there is in that in definitely. yeah, i see you the situation of conflict in that particular country us treasury secretary has said that some terrorists, imposed by the previous administration like a strategic purpose, unburden american consumers with high costs. we all recognize that china engage is in a range of unfair trade practices. that is important to address that. the terrorists we inherited some serve no strategic purpose and res, cost to consumers with a move to call target on imports from china. it seems to be a mechanism to tackle skyrocket, inflation and goods shortages in the u. s. boats. meanwhile, over in china, the sanctions earlier imposed by washington on micro chip supplies have shown unexpected results. the sanctions which were intended to damage the chinese economy,

have apparently failed to achieve the aims since 2020, when the u. s. restricted to chip sales to china. that domestic production and overseas demand have risen last year orders from foreign countries for chinese chips rose by 58 percent with total sales, reaching a record $150000000000.00. dr. jack rasmus, professor of economics and politics says that these policies initiated by trump were a failure well under trial pre tried to use stairs strategically and he totally failed against china when the us launch 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 sanctions 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 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 knows when then china knows that the target is going to be placed on them. and finally, there's something of a diplomatic anomaly taking place in us in the relations is the position of us ambassador to india has remained vacant for a record 18 months. the previous us ambassador term expired in january 2021. while last year president by the nominated the mayor of los angeles, eric got a few for the job. the senate has still not approved his moved to new delhi or to contribute to r. t ticket brings up to date on the issue. not the last 18 months. the

position of the us to india has to break it. this is by far youngest stretch for us and passenger to india being way cage. and benny, i'm sure indicates that the by didn't appointee is a sensitive issue in the us because it probably consented just how quality objective upright man saying that he does not represent american values. it doesn't be who the us to say. i think it got picked up to india, which is gone. so there's an important and i in fact the guy says he 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 diversification in the system. essentially, he was hinting that she would like to limit india as partnership with russia in the french 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 by tremendous fisher coming to washington dc, especially on the issue all new reunion war was the main stories for this i do head over to r t dot com or our social media pages for more, as well as our channel and odyssey moneys pizza. scott, and it's been great. have you with thanks for watching with ah,

ah, there's, there's 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 and doing the all reading face such a economic challenge with

the sanctions imposed by western countries against russia. a booth is island nation to its me. oil prices have skyrocketed as a petrol medicine and food for the laser. brice has gone up to one percent. that is on my family's happiness, asking joseph opened the door. what are some of with the school? thousands of people took to the streets and this is just the beginning. a similar scenario could unfold in bangladesh. nick o, packets done and other asian countries in africa. media america, little freeman, restrict you on spending from 30000000, which was put in your book, you with, ah,

i how many times when i want to with this with you, i guess with you, i'm with

full credit gets approved from beach though the still easier for this patient but in the board with with hello and welcome to cross hob. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle, irreversible split. this is probably the most accurate way to scribe russia's relationship with the west to day. but this did not have to be the wes attempts to

cripple the russian economy. have failed, as well as the attempt to isolate russia. the west is isolated itself. i crush, sucking rushes relations with the west. i'm joined by my guess, michael maloof in washington. he's a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in corpus chris. we have michael flanagan. he is president of planning and consulting in a former congressman and here in moscow we have maxine swartzkoff. he is the director of the institute of international studies at moscow state institute of international relations. i, gentleman cross our rules and the fact that means you can jump in any time you want and i always appreciate it. right, michael. im in washington d. c. let me go 1st. i want to ask all 3 of you the same question? do we have any reversible split with in russia? west relations? go ahead, michael rewired and yeah, yeah, period, i think we do, i and i think it is something that, you know.
