a strike. busy a shipyard near the city of nic alive, military equipment was destroyed as well. the defense ministry claims care forces are suffering heavy losses on that one battalion reportedly fled without orders hoping, lost more than half its troops. and fighting continues in the city of sierra done yet, skin the loo against republic battles have been raging there since early march. local authorities say this city was shell from the direction of the assault chemical plant, where ukrainian fighters are located. clashes continued amid ongoing evacuations. at the factory 30 civilians reportedly fled from there during the day. while d mining operations are ongoing in leaped on us republics ortiz eager shut down a visit at one of the areas still to be cleared. a fortified position abandoned by the ukrainian army near the town of papa naya, with 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 ukrainian troops. and we're about to see the fortifications that they have both directed and dug into the ground while 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 care when you are not as good as this was minute 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 us with 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, not 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 force is used against their foreman own abandoned well of fortifications. these type of munition is banned 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. meanwhile, the 1st foreign ship has left the port of mario paul since the beginning of the conflict ceiling along a car doors sent up by the russian navy. it was a turkish cargo ship, called the soft concord, and was damaged during fighting in the city. but has since been repaired on the new crew found egypt, jordan and turkey b. a soda crime, prince mom had been summon, has been. ready touring the region now partially seeking to align the country stances on key issues of next month summit with joe biden,

collins. the princess trip kicked off on monday. c, mfc egyptian president to discuss security and stability in the area, and also signed a $7700000000.00 package of agreement. jordan was next on the royal a henry after years of strain relations between the 2 countries, mostly due to clashing views and regional conflicts. on turkey is the printer, his final destination being his 1st visit. since the murder of journalist jamal cas shoji, in a stumble, was 4 years ago, something that since placed a wedge between riyadh and kraft. meanwhile, the british foreign secretary is also in the turkish capital for talks this wednesday. moscow live now to doctor side, sunday, a professor of political science at the american university of cairo to hear his thoughts good to have you on the program. the 3 questions, dr. so they can question they don't. the 3 countries are state that don't have the

friendliest relations with saudi arabia and that could be an understatement. so what do you make of the crime princess tour and its timing and date? as you know, this visit was already for a period but because of the hassle decking it was born. and now he says back why he's doing this business. he has to make sure that when the king died, it become easier for him to keep or the old under soon, and he would not find any trouble among the region on fallen on the company. he wants to old ball to stand by him. well, he's going here and there to provide. he cannot make assistance. pleasure. and in return for political, supple regina and also to prepare for the visit of the binders, which had a lot of topics and, and ideas be

a want to establish and defend them for the area. like i need to defend intelligence for the area on the want to have the operation between those countries, especially the stuff steve jordan iraq installation and also turkey. becky was interested in this visit because they buried the hatchet, although that was the killing and the want money. because again, since i have to convince elections that they're suffering, suffering. so he is very much interested in hosting that conference, the future of saudi arabia in the mid can amik assistance. and also he would send him to sure doing system to find the how few in the am. and so a lot of issues on this as index to death with important visits by the who

ignored the area for one year and hop and only because of the korean crisis and the oil and gas issue. he began to change his mind despite all that we keep coming from is all thought that the classic party that he is telling the ideology, he said many negative things about congress. maybe it's in prison. now he's going to meet them because your, your wants stability and you also believe the area to be at least support that need to know this could be very significant or it could be a photo opportunity. that's the analysis coming into the saudi arabian crime. princes visit, cutting pave the way for a real thought in bilateral relations in the region this visit. this is an attempt to catch is the economic assistance. any

economic was this will help. many, many economists in the area are suffering. and so at the same time, you have the gulf states having in dallas and they can really do a lot of stuff, but they will not go in the open to many of the demands and request that the americans walk off and they want very much, desperately that and solid at normalized solution, this is impossible, especially when the congress has not taking over and the dancer especially step in the stomach where they can not do that in significant patient and physical patient exists. and it can, when you can be a 1st to passage from across any vs, not only through the emerged, but the other piece is maybe allow the will to solve the iran and nephew island.

the issue you can solve is and if i may just touch on another issue, i mentioned sir, the british foreign secretary is also coming to anchor for talks today as she's expected to discuss the ukraine grain issue with turkish officials. is that a coincidence? do you think these high level visits coming at once or more of a full court press tempting, i mean, the all western countries know, attempting to mobilize the allies, their friends here, and there to besiege last to compensate for the lack of the softest of gas and oil in the lives, in bytes of oil. so these are all attempts can be creamy and intellectual brain dream. i don't know when they will, how, how they will do it. when,

even when they talk about marshall plan for the reconstruction of korea. how and when will be and what is that and when i'm but what conditions is there a piece in the 1st they will have this kind of talk about the construction. so i think a lot of this stuff is maybe just land here and there. i don't think it's happening, but actually i don't see that happening. well, thank you very much for coming on the program and sharing your views with this. enjoy that dr. aside civic professor of political science at the american university of car is speaking to us from trinity today. now in the meantime, joe biden's plan visit the saudi arabia. amid the growing global energy crisis has outraged human rights group. they say the president is putting business sober, his own vows to make the crime prints a pariah. you might remember that language because of the cust georgia biden,

has made it clear that there won't be any direct consequences from a ham. had been salman for murdering shogi. unfortunately, the visit is the equivalent of a presidential pardon for murder and m b. s. with the c. it is the biden issued license to kill more cache augie's. it is the trail for jamal cache. ok, so 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 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 president's long handed 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, 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 the sun, 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. that's a part of me that understands why diplomatically we've gotten to this point, but it's also frightening and enraging kershaw, his wife isn't exactly thrilled either. mr. by noon you for me to. so dave, you as president in the, you meet with jamal's heartless executor. nice honoring your sir. and 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 a proper rail and what happened to his killers? 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 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 decoder in united states that goes to canada, all the things that the vitamin a ration shut down on day one. and so with all of these people the, the millions,

the job, the cost, the gas prices storing july, that 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 america employees, helping american businesses with their, our own home oil production. okay, another news line to bring you where of today plumber put in a claim, the bricks group of emerging economies are preparing to develop an international reserve currency in the near future. that statement comes ahead of a some of the of the grouping, which is also the 1st major multi lateral meeting with russian participation. since february, the summit begins tomorrow, will be held online with china. hosting president putin has expressed his support for beijing. moved to promote an alternative world order in the form of a global security initiative. she jan paying said the crisis in ukraine shown that expensive military parts leads to instability. and the world must unite against the

politics of brute force. let me put another doubt, the current problems in the world economy. the consequences of the wes that you must anesthesia businesses. russian antic renews has to do business in difficult conditions when western partners neglected basic principles of market economy, free trade and inviolable etc of private property. what will the west pursues and essentially irresponsible macroeconomic course uncontrollably, prince and money, and accumulate and unsecured deaths. at the same time, they're constantly introduced more and more politically motivated sanctions and strengthening mechanisms of pressure and competitors. there is a deliberate breakdown of cooperative ties, transfers and logistics chains are collapsing and all this is contrary to common sense and elementary economic logic. it goes against the interests of global business and negatively affects the well being of the population of all countries. rome, you mean that in the economy. europe must urgently prepare for

a complete halt to russian gas exports this winter. that's according to the head of the international energy agency who claims moscow's decision to reduce gas supplies to european countries in the past week may be a precursor to further accounts. however, some e, you, politicians, have acknowledged that their own sanctions. policies are having a blowback effect. we're urging member states to ramp up investment and renewables . ireland doesn't rely on gas from russia that relies on gas from other places. but if the overall market is disturbed, which it is both by rash, his own actions, and indeed by our sanctions, then there are consequences around availability. will estrus live now? charity contribute? are rachel marston? hi there, rachel, indeed, take us through what's been happening on the continent as regards the energy crisis . well, the european union to connie was an airplane. it was just, you know, cruising along when the folks in charge suddenly caught the gas, say,

take that fusion. and now their nose diving and mounting, mashing, all the buttons on the control panel trying to figure out how to see themselves. and that reality is now spilling out into the open. the basically telling the passengers, you know, those of us living here in the u. n. are just so on the ride that they have lost control married mcginnis, that you commissioner for financial stability. like wow, she has quite the task ahead of her. judging by that job, the surgeon just said that b e was looking at increasing investment in renewables. yes. or no, she got the memo, but germany use big renewable energy champion is urgently going back to cool because of the self inflicted energy crunch. mcginnis also said we under january not realizing that by february we would really be alarmed about our lack of resilience when it comes to energy. wow, that's really reassuring, totally amazing foresight. and she added that we rely on russian fossil fuels. so

we're looking for alternative supplies now. so basically these folks didn't even make sure that they had their own oxygen mask on to insure their own economic survival before rushing to assist ukraine and taking the russian dependent you energy market with their own actions. meanwhile, canada use close ally is also trying to find the way around its own sanctions against russians gas from so that it can get some newer and stream pipeline turbines that will be repaired in montreal about the scenes energy company in germany under its own sanctions. canada won't allow itself to provide any components that could be used in the gas pipeline. in the meantime, gas problem besides significantly reduce gas load germany sparking talk of the potential energy of urgency. so by stating its uprooting. canada has also socket to its close allied germany. so it's no wonder that jens plugged our foreign policy adviser to chancellor bullock. schultz is now asking why germany's future

relationship with russia isn't being discussed as much as german weapons for ukraine. you can fill many newspaper pages with 20 margins, but there are fewer, larger articles about how our relationship with russia will be in the future. b, e was just and so obsessed with ukraine, but it's now trying to figure out a way out of its own self induced charleston. you know, all i can say is, let's just hope that they figure it all out and come to their senses before all of us here crash or to contribute our rachel martin taken us through the thanks rachel . guess more world news and brief. now at least a 1000 people have been killed and a huge earthquake that shook f janice them this morning for the 1500 others were injured according to taliban authority. the quake was centered on the south west of the country and could also be felt in neighboring pakistan. rescue efforts are likely to be complicated since many international aid agencies, less stuff gonna stand after the telephone,

takeover of the country last year. and the chaotic withdrawal of the u. s. military . from the longest war in its history. while unprecedented rain fall and flooding in india and bangladesh has destroyed millions of homes and left more than a 100 people did. heavy rains 1st started in march and have left really countless people struggling for food and medical supplies. the u. n's, children's charity unicef has warned of a potential health catastrophe. of hospitals are out of action. more than a 1000000 children are in need of urgent help. sure link is economy has completely clubs, was the frank assessment of the country's prime minister as people who have been suffering for months from food, electricity, and fuel shortages. the situation so dire that the south asian island nation cannot even afford to purchase essentially like imported, or you can get a fuller picture of the story by checking our torch. sure. like is

a common me. that's a documentary hearing for the day here on our team. drilling has become the 1st southeast asian country in 2022, unable to pay its foreign debt. this totals $51000000000.00, sri lanka is the 1st country to face such a huge crisis. but apparently it won't be the last of the west imposed sanctions against russia. ties between supplies and consumers was severed. so several other nations risk being sucked under orlando, florida. her belong. he can only afford one meal a day because our wages, like only a 100 to a piece a day. it's only enough for 3 loaves of bread and 250 grams of dollars for a family of 5, but don't have enough money to eat properly in westport. the kids are always asking to buy food, but we can't afford it. today it's ordinary people who are suffering from the sanctions imposed on russia, and it's resulting economic meltdown. now able to pay the expensive gone,

men need to understand the pause of the people. these few sensitivity must be crush . i those, those are what's happening now in the world arena. rising oil we prices and so forth is having an impact because we are one community after all. the west african country of molly is in morning after recent attacks by jobs terrorists left 132 people did local se, islamic extremists systemically gung dod civilians ah

ah ah, let me go 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 with ah, put them all with the massacres are very painful for me. and it's the same for all mile the us. we can't sleep at night when we think about the situation that most he's going through was not good. terrorists must talk with these barbaric axis our armed forces are working. we have to accompany them without prayers. 3 days of

national morning began on tuesday with the government pledging to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice. the attack has been described as one of the deadliest incidents in molly. since the outbreak of finding a decade ago, when tor egg separatists rose up against the government, molly has faced the string of civilian massacres so far this year. as extremists on criminal groups are taking hold, plunging the country into crisig citizen of america. a lot all comes against the backdrop of france is 9 years of attempts to secure the region against terrorist groups. the molly and prime minister, however, has previously said paris itself is fueling turmoil in the country comp. at this it will momentum. zango gonzo 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 armed 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. meanwhile, in neighboring bertino 1st, so civilians held rally demanding an end to french military cooperation in favor of russian support to curb terrorism regional experts to correct claims french troops have proved ineffective and somebody is doing this attacks throughout the region. in re, you saw me speaking about operation survey, 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 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. the shortcomings lead 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 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 withdraw a french troops. and as a result of all this, this hell has become a very unstable region opened all kinds of hostilities. okay, that is where we leave the news updates for now. but next, a former pentagon official offers his thoughts on whether they're west split with moscow is irreversible. that is right. ahead and cross talk by phone

i oh, well it shows the wrong one. all right? just don't hold any world that you have to fill out this day because the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah ah.
