job with live for moscow. this is our t, my name is unit o'neill of 30 minutes of news and views start. we begin with the latest on the ukraine conflict. there has been an explosion that an oil refinery in the rust off region of russia. after a drone was apparently flown into it. the moment was caught on camera and is circulating unlike that of you still with the regional emergency services said nobody was injured down. the fire has since been extinguished. reports also suggests there were 2 drones, both you really you know, russia,

the claims of the 500 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in a striking shipyard near the city of nikolai, of military equipment being manufactured there was destroyed as well. the defense ministry claims key of forces are suffering heavy losses that one battalion reportedly failed without orders having lost more than half its troops and fighting continues in the city of his year vote than yeah, it's going to luke against republic. puzzles, helping raging there since early march. local authorities say the city was shell from the direction of the adult. a chemical plant where ukrainian fighters are located. clashes continue made on going. if i q ations of the factory. 30 civilians reportedly fled from there during the day, while the mining operations are ongoing in the don boss, republics ortiz eager to sit down and visit in one of the areas still should be cleared, fortified position abandoned by the printing army near the choice of pop asner which saw heavy fighting last month with the special forces of the russian army. we

are right now moving towards the positions quite recently captured from the ukrainian troops. and we're about to see the fortifications that they have both directed and dug into the ground. well, over the past 8 years, and we're about to see what's left of them after the work of the russian artillery jets and well infantry. ah, i don't care when you are not as good as this was mute on 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 well to the 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 pin 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 ammunition 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, the place is good enough. even the cemetery, there's no red lines, it seems full key forces in this warm ethics is expendable decency is an excess. i mean there's done of reporting from the don bass t. yeah, another line coming into us, the 1st foreign ship has less the port of marty both since this started the conflict ceiling along a corridor set up by the russian navy. it's a turkish cargo vessel, called the, as all the concord was damaged during fighting in the city. but since been referred to a new crew fight, egypt, jordan and turkey, the saudi crime, prince, mom had been salma and i was being touring the region apparently seeking to align the country stances on key issues. next month summit with joe biden, linds and cruz, the final destination in the prince's tour. being his 1st visit since the murder of

journalist jamal ca, shoji, in espanol, almost 4 years ago, something that's since placed a wedge between the countries. the princes trip kicked off on monday. he met the gyptian president to discuss security and stability in the area, and also signed a $7700000000.00 package of agreements. jordan had also been on the royal i generate after years of strain relations between the 2 states, mostly due to flushing use on regional conflicts. while political science professor aside, a civic, told us the saudi princes visit comes amid a re shuffle of alliances in the region with less countries. now, willing to please washington, he has to make sure that when the king dies, he will not find any trouble among the region of all of the company. he wants to oldest paul to stand by him while he is going here and there to provide. he cannot

make assistant also to prepare for the visit off to the by the way, ignored the area for one year and a half. and only because of the korean crisis and the oil and gas issue, he began to change his mind even before the cleaning crisis. the alliances and everything measured was he saw the image on the one hand and then you had another alliance, potter and dirty, and iran, this changes know, we have a lot of things that happen in the, in the last few months that should, that they wanted to bury the action and have some kind of peace because of dec. detail you think it can only condition today, it is not nobody's interest to play ideological games. there was no business today . all the areas are suffering economically and being in special dollars from the gulf states,

but they will not go as far as to please the americans because they know that one time the americans mean randomly. well, in the meantime, kill biden's plump is a to saudi arabia. amid the growing global energy crisis has outraged human rights groups, they allege the president is putting business over his own vows to make the crime prince a pariah because of the kashodi coming. by didn't, 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 bite and issued license to kill more cache augie's. 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. 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 dismember. 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. that'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. michael, you for me the so they have you as president. they you meet with jim all hot this executor. nice honoring you'll sir, and jim all by meeting and be us. if you have to put over the principal and expediency over value, can you at least aven gym of money? no, he's own appropriate braille and what happened to his killer. charley, 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 2 to actual american, well, companies like those in texas and midland, texas, keystone oil pipeline and, and the dakotas in united states that goes through canada. all the things that divide ministration, shut down on day one. and so, with all of these people that the millions 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 help in american employees, helping american businesses with their, our own in home world. all right, another story to bring you to day a mid enthusiastic rhetoric from the european block on ukraine's membership bid. turkey, which has been waiting for the approval to join the union for more than 20 years,

has no fund old words of welcome turning, cold. turkey today is further away than it was in 1099. the accession process is merit based and therefore it is very much in the hands of the applicant country. yet 6 fundamental turkey was granted you candidate status back in 1999. though 20 years later, the european parliament suspended talks on the concrete alignments and made human rights concerned bouts, despite unquote, being a long term ally of the block on key challenges, including the migrant crisis caused by the syrian war. the country's president believes turkeys a session should be encouraged us. he states the ukrainian crisis, reasserted the strategic importance of turkey for the you less cross live. now 2 political scientists honor. so ton gazelle ton, who has been following developments? welcome to you. so you have the, you chief saying the turkey is not further away from alignment with the union after

the country expressed its unwillingness to follow their relentless sanctions regime against russia. hi, fur is not approach to thing. oh hello. thank you for the invitation of 1st to full. i must say that it has always been in euro, but a, it has never been in the parks of europe if you look in the story called political and economical way. so it touches identity as always, being independent trauma, europe, and has often been considered as an artist or fuel. and the president of looking commission, the one there land with her statement. i mean, she anticipates in turkey for not participating in the, on the russian section. but giving the economic and political crisis you will, has fallen into

a lions. chris remain in the ears. yeah, turkey, as we mentioned, was granted you candidate status back in 1999. since then, the countries provided help to european countries by my getting the migration crisis on overcoming other challenges. now there's a lot of ramifications of play here. will it know, rethink its position as regards those issues. i just said that it was a political, economic, and the geopolitical mistake that turkish governments wanted to join the european union. and then today, these facts is revealed once again. it's wanting to haven't quit relation, rob it with the european countries. but it's another think to, to be a country that you don't try to use against against asia against russia,

iraq against iran. and that today, turkish national interest and also church nation. and this has never to be quiet being a part of the european union. because turkey is not just that european country, but turkey is a euro, asian country. so i mean, if you look to the mother, you said that was part of her. she's in europe and other parties in the asian liberal advocacy initially interested also are one part in asia and one part in, you know, so to, to, to stay in the gates gateway, off of europe in grades in all is not that today the turkish or the business versus national interest. you raised an interesting point because it seems in you appeals to turkey in times of need, especially today and yet at other times pushes the way saying it doesn't suit european human rights values short, surely not short sighted. if not

a dangerous strategy. brussels is playing i mean, today church, she tried to establish good relation, which is his neighbor and it's, it's, it's normal also. now we have, we, as we are establishing good relation with russia with iran, are with iraq. and i hope that in the near future we will establish with relation with serial also. and it's, it's our national interest and i don't understand why the sales bear lean or parties insisting food, turkey that we don't have good relations with our neighbors. i mean, france and germany could have inflation, but when we try to have good relation with our neighbors, are always create a problem for european sites. how do you think the essentially fast tracking of ukraine's candice c by b, e. u is going to go down. in turkey, how, how is that going to be reacted to to think. i think it seems unrealistic for

ukraine to join the nato european union and the throne took his point of view. i'll go to work. he is a member of nato and naples announcement. it's a geese church, i deleted the leader of natal, is united states and the united states today. and the also before, ah, sporting to terrorist organizations like p j. j or glen organization. i'm these organizations are it? yes, the national, acting against national interest of church, or on the other end us also treated churchy, would lead to the boot up in greece. so in summary, although of churches officially in natal to day turkey, i can say that turkey is like kind of a implicit wor, ah, we natal and the movie did on members of natal in, on different fields. yeah,

very interesting. crossroads, isn't it? and we will. and i watch what occurs without our thank you very much. they own our stilton gazelle, tom political scientists life on our team. thank you. ah, let him put in a said the bricks group of emerging economies are preparing to develop an international reserve currency in the near future. now this statement comes, i have a summit of the grouping, which is also the 1st major multi lateral meeting with russian participation since february. the summit begins thursday and will be held online with china. hosting president putin has expressed his support for china's move to promote alternative world order in the form of a global security initiative. she jumping said the crisis in ukraine has shown that expansion of military blocks leads to instability. and the world must unite against the politics of brute force, while vladimir putin nodded, not the current problems in the world's economy, or the consequences of the west's own actions that you might set aside your

business in russian and to pronounce has to do business in difficult conditions when western partners neglect the basic principles of markets, economy free trade and inviolate ability of private property. what will the west pursues? an essentially irresponsible macroeconomic course. uncontrollably, prince and money, and accumulate and unsecured deaths. at the same time, they are constantly introduced more and more politically motivated sanctions and strengthen and 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. no, most mostly human. europe must urgently prepare for a complete whole 2 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 or so may be a precursor to further cuts. wherever some e, you, politicians have acknowledged that their own sanctions. policies are having a blowback effect. we're urging members 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 rush his own actions, and indeed by our sanctions, then there are consequences around availability. raid mcginnis, the r t contributor rachel marston offers her, taken on what's been happening on the continent as regards the energy crisis. european union to connie was an airplane. it was just, you know, cruising a law when the folks in charge suddenly cut the gas, say, take that fusion and now their nose diving and mapping, mashing, all the buttons on the control panel trying to figure out how to save themselves. and that reality is now spilling out into the open. they're 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 may read. 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 this self inflicted energy crutch. 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. and she added that we rely on russian fossil fuels. so we're looking for alternative supplies. and 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 russia dependent you energy market with their own sessions. meanwhile, canada use close ally is also trying to find a way around its own sanctions against russia's gas bomb,

so that it can get some nord stream pipeline turbines that will be repaired in montreal, back to siemens 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 promise had to significantly reduce gas load germany sparking talk of the potential energy of urgency. so by sticking it to putting canada has also socket to as close allied germany. so it's no wonder that yann's plugin or foreign policy advisor to chancellor will have schultz is now asking why germany's future really share with russia isn't being discussed as much as german weapons or 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. you would just been so upset with ukraine, but it's now trying to figure out a way out of its own self. and you can, you know, all i can say let's just hope that they figure it all out and come to their senses

before all monsieur crush an incredibly little day today. enough. gala phillip, lisa, 1000 people have been killed in a huge 1st quick. that's sure the nation on whether the morning more than 1500 others were injured according to the taliban authorities. the quake was centered on the south west of the country and could also be felt in new brings pakistan. rescue efforts are likely to be complicated since many international agencies left off canister after the telephone takeover of the country last year. and they also withdrew all of the us military from its longest war in history. let's take you as well to india and bangladesh. oh, unprecedented rainfall and flooding in those countries as destroyed millions of homes and left more than 100 people dead. the heavy rains 1st started in march and have left countless people struggling for food and medical supplies. the un children's charity. unicef has warned of a potential health catastrophe. the hospitals are out of action, and more than

a 1000000 children are in need of urgent shrunk, is economy has completely collapsed. that is the frank assessment of the countries prime minister. what people are suffering for months from fuel electricity and fuel shortage is the situation. so daughter that the south asian island nation can't even afford to purchase, essential is like imported or you can get a fuller picture on the story by checking our torched. sure length is economy. that's a documentary hearing throughout the day you're on our t. corolenko has become the from the 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, whatever. so several other nations risk being sucked under. obligates no doesn't

belong. he can only afford one meal a day because on wages like only a 100 to a piece a day. it's only enough for 3 loaves of bread and 250 grams of doll 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. the scene sensitivity must be crush . i those, those shows the price with what's happening now in the world. lena, rising oil we, prices and so forth, is having an impact because we are one community. after all. can

other story to bring attention to today, an international coalition of journalists has demanded. the wiki, makes funder julian assange, and immediately released from a u. k. j. and that all charges against them at be dropped. the group met in geneva, uncalled on swift authorities to facilitate a sanchez release by offering him a safe haven from further prosecution. they say the new k home secretary and friday, by the way, signed an order to extradite the sums to the u. s. where he faces 18 criminal charges including espionage. over the years, wikileaks has released bass. tro was of confidential u. s. military records on diplomatic cables, which washington said at pot lives in danger when they were released throat his incarceration. sanchez enjoyed widespread support, sat a recent gathering of his barkers his father still 20 from the g. g 7.

i think her role i'd like to do is, i'd like to think that they were going to discuss julian good. i don't think the g 7 will mention that julian support from the german government on this drive in government and the french government. and the u. k. government will certainly cite your real bill so it's of no benefit to the i can see to the united states to just destroy the 1st amendment. so i imagine that the united states will also find a way to drop the charges is or mid week news update. for now though, stay close for more programs getting there starting in moment, this is interesting with

irreversible split. this is probably the most accurate way to describe brushes, relationship with the west, the day. 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. only one main thing is important for naziism, internationally speaking, that is, that nations visits are allowed to do anything, all the master, and then you have the minor nation. so other slaves, americans, brock, obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this danger is bullying him in there, wants to take over the world. that was

a conscious strategy and wolf out of it on your own. i not felicia to talk to him today about in tablet block. nato said it's out. we moved east and the reason us had gemini is so dangerous. is it the lie? the sovereignty of all the countries, the exceptionalism that american uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business.
