a very strong explosion. fire. would you say that the warden ukraine is the primary driver of inflation in america? no inflation was high before certainly before the warranty cream broke up. us bedroom appears to challenge president biden's dance that russia is to blame for slowing inflation in the us. unless somebody of the brakes group of countries kicks off on thursday. the meeting is going to add this by western attempts to isolate russia from the international community. and a report reveals the use demand for the impulse from africa is a key cause of deforestation in the region of despite the blocks of vocal green agenda. local say they have no chance of competing with major western companies. big companies have all the money to get the land, unlike the small partners. and that's the problem. the big companies have the means to benefit from everything

with, from moscow to the world. this is the international and peter scott and these the top stories this hour and is usually starts off with the latest developments from the war in ukraine. according to local officials, to netflix residential areas have been shown by gifts troops during the day. and 2 men are reported to have been injured. authorities claim the attacks are carried out with weapons delivered by nato member state the key of those. but those continue russian forces under the guns people's republic army are advancing on the city of lucy, chunk. one of the remaining strongholds of ukrainian army in the area against military officials believe they will soon take the city, sees roman cultures centers, this reports from the dentist republic. we are in a city of girl of good the moment this town has been continuously shelled by the korean military over the last 8 years and the shelling had intensified in the last 4 months. at least that's when t 8 people have been killed. 180 injured. now,

this place, this is a crater from ah, cannon. artillery says one of the shell fragments that fell here. obviously the impact created this crater. now this is the residential building where all the windows had been shattered. now this is just one of many buildings in this area that were damaged by the ukranian artillery. i will speak to some of the residents about the ordeal that the have to go through. what we can get her costume for this been showing every day this past week i was driving into the garage when the shell exploded nearby. it flew to the yard of a neighboring house. there was not a single window left in it destroyed everything other than another shell hit the gas pipe and there was a very strong explosion than fire. another flew into the yard and again behind the garages. i think there will be more shelling today as well. you did on last little

where on the constant shelling now when the bomb arrived. i'm standing in the kitchen. i saw the house was going to collapse, plaster and windows were knocked out. i managed to run out of the kitchen. we have been sitting in an entrance hall for the last 2 days. we are afraid of constant shelling. mm. for some unknown reason. residential buildings in this area are constantly bombarded by the ukranian. artillery can see shards of glass under my feet, and there are, well, that doesn't the residential buildings out here. and there is a, a kindergarten right here. and absolutely no military positions that i know of. for meanwhile, an explosion has occurred as an oil refinery wishes the rest of the region on wednesday. according to moscow officials,

the ukrainian drone hit the facility and caused a fire that would lead to extinguish a criminal investigation that has been in the instance has been launched by russia's investigative committee or recession in the u. s. is certainly a possibility that the warning from the chairman of the federal reserve coming amid the highest inflation in 40 years. yes, president joe biden blames inflation on the war and ukraine boats. the fed chairman jerome poll says otherwise. let's go compensates and tv hosts, scotty. now use explains president biden, today, proposed w b a. the growing pains that americans are feeling at the gas pump a 3 month 18th. the federal gas tax, more tory on the or holiday, was proposed by president biden. and his address, the country, and the average gas price in america today is over $5.00 per gallon, with the highest being in california, peaking at $6.70. but of course the president was quick to make sure the blame for

the price increase. it was not on his shoulders, just simple truth. his gas prices are up almost $2.00 a gallon because latimer prudence roofless attack on ukraine. and we wouldn't let them get away with russia is also the largest, or one of the largest oil producers in the world. we cut off russian oil in the united states. and our partners in europe did the same. knowing that we would see higher gas prices. now the problem is that besides the fact the gas price in the united states were dramatically increasing from the day president biden took office all the way to prior. the conflict happening president and actually said he cut russian oil to the united states and the european off, which is simply not true. but what is happening is the united states and our allies are actively discussing a price cap on russian oil. treasury secretary, get it going confirmed during a joint press conference with canada. finance, mr. christina freeland, with the hope,

the allowing more oil supply all to reach the global market. now however, when she was asked to explain her price exception comment, yellow instead would be essentially a price cap. and as this sort of an exception to the european insurance ban. but this is questionable as to whether this is even going to be feasible by the parties involved, considering it would make no sense to sell oil with price caps, which would greatly reduce or even eliminate any potential profit, as well as predictable. the president biden monitor, i'm putting the time on for the gas price inflation. it does not correspond with the own officials, including fed chair drone power, who says ukraine is not responsible for inflation, given how inflation is escalated over the past 18 months. would you say that the word ukraine is the primary driver ventilation in america? no installation was high before certainly before the warranty crane broke up. i'm glad to hear you say that the by ministration seems to be intent on deflecting

blame. and as recently as just this past sunday, spread the misinformation that pollutants invasion of ukraine is the quote biggest single driver in place. and i'm glad you agree with me that that is not the truth. it's fair to mention that despite bite and healing himself to be in a speech that american stand with them. here is actually the number's card to a june 22nd year for the job by the public approval rating. so for the 4th straight week to 36 percent matching, it's a lower level since late may, according to our writers, it's those opinion poll that was just completed on monday. now present abide and it did confirm, but he knew in advance the americans were going to pay the price at the gas for the . busy war in the ukraine, but that was the price that well americans were willing to pay. he even reminded republicans. they're both to support the billions the names that have gone to ukraine. therefore, making sure that were cut republicans were just as accountable as democrats in regards to the rising gas prices. all things he would hope,

americans would put the blame on both parties when they go to the polls in november . now it seems it's just a waiting game or a dirt car, just to see if the u. s. also takes an observer, stands as a european union and other countries might take the same option of doing a holiday tax. but that wouldn't, it remains to be seen. now the years are present, emitted the conflict of ukraine could become an endurance contest between the us and russia, as well as the e. u. but he does think at some point there will be even more of a waiting game and what the russians can handle versus what europeans will be able to handle. but the main question on president biden's mind, no doubt is how much will americans actually be able to handle reporting from nashville, tennessee for r t. i'm scotty. now he's of geopolitical strategies and diplomacy consults into the state department. john deleted. he believes the current economic situation undermines the willingness of americans to help you crane and my own sense, tuesday, by the end of 2022. as we have

a deepening energy crisis in europe. and we have food shortages in the middle east in northern africa that could trigger social unrest and political peoples as we saw in the arab world 10 years ago. that this is unfortunately going to be a very long, protracted played out situation in ukraine in ways that can be very harmful to russia. economy in the long run and to energy european security. the american people are very, very willing to support and provide foreign aid for beleaguered countries for countries that are suffering because of war or invasion in other parts of the world . when our economy is strong and our society is resilient. with given many of the challenges that we're facing in the united states right now, most americans, we'd rather our political leaders from president biden on down, focus on fixing what's wrong with the american economy and american society. then with a ward that could lead to a possible nuclear exchange in europe,

if it escalates out of control and move along. now, major summit's, the brakes countries are to the world's biggest emerging economies kicks off in beijing on thursday. but even if it's in joining online, there was a president has expressed his support for chinese mood to promote an alternative world order to the one dominated by washington. and that will come in the form of a global security initiative to correspondent on a course that gives us a preview. the 1st time since russia's military operation and ukraine began leaders from some of the world's biggest up and coming economies are gathering for the international bricks forum. despite the wes attempts to turn the rest of its member countries against russia, they're standing firm in favor of multi polarity, as the global energy crisis rages on it. and if they and move when they're constantly introducing more and more politically motivated sanctions and strengthening mechanisms of pressure and competitors, there is a deliberate breakdown of cooperative ties and transport and logistic chains are

collapsing. this is all contrary to common sense and elementary economic logic. it goes against the interests of global business and negatively affects the well being of all countries. she is 8 and it has been proven time. and again, that sanctions have boomerangs, and double edged sword that politicize, instrumental ice and weaponized the world economy. and use the dominant position of the international financial and monetary system to impose sanctions recklessly, which will eventually hom, others, and hom, themselves make the people of the world suffer unprecedented western sanctions have boomerang, indeed, in the 1st 3 months of this year, trade between russia and the bricks, countries have increased by a whopping 38 percent reaching $45000000000.00. in may, china even became the world's biggest importer of russian oil making up for a lot of the difference for western clients last through sanctions. india, for its part, has gone from importing basically no russian oil at all to buying over 760000 barrels

a day for the western powers that constantly espoused the principles of free market capitalism. none of these developments should contradict their values. russia has got a product that the consumers want, but things clearly are not that simple and is up with me, but new to western partners, disregard the basic principles of a market. economy free trade in viability of private property, and pursue an irresponsible macroeconomic policy, including the uncontrolled printing of money and accumulation of unsecured debt. as for the ongoing global food crisis, vladimir putin and his south african counterpart had been discussing how to secure africa supply of food and fertilizers. well, that is no doubt, a good sign of closer cooperation between bricks countries and a good sign for the over 3000000000 people who call those countries home. especially those living with the effects of the west sanctions regime. i'm trying to attend to the, the block is expected to begin an expansion process to include new emerging economies, the program director of develop discussion, club,

insides on potential candidates and the session process. my expectations in terms of the expansion and the ranks of the brakes economies is that it will likely be done on the basis of one by one addition. and i think it will take quite some time because initially the breaks economies will have to agree amongst themselves on what the precise criteria and what the conditions will be on the accession of new countries into the bricks club. but i think in the coming years we will see one or 2 countries joining possibly it could be argentina, or it could be large economies such as indonesia or saudi arabia. basically, i think it will most likely be

a developing economy from the g 20 and the most likely candidates are the 3 that i mention on the news, despite is declared green agenda, the e, you still appears to have some way to go when it comes to putting it into practice, a newly released report shows that roba, which is imported by the block poses looming deforestation threat to africa. tropical regions. recent data show industrial rubber plantations in africa are responsible for destruction of tropical forests over an area of 16 times larger than brussels with the e u, a key consumer of all rebecca produced in the region. that's the commodity is exempt from the blocks domestic until deforestation. legislation that prevents imports of goods linked to the destruction of forests. the move spots, criticism from global witness and environmental watch organisation. from cameroon to call g law. the use of a carriage appetite for rubber is devastated indigenous communities and the road and in vital cabins sink yet astonishingly

a draft law to prevent deforestation. linked products from being sold in europe does not include trouble failed to oblige banks to stop funding. deforestation in does not appalled indigenous communities, roads. the main owners of these river plantations are companies from singapore and belgian who receive funding from major european banks. the expansion of agri business in the region is also exacerbate, in poverty, uninstall curity for communities that lose access to land that can be farmed or hunted. we spoke to a local residents who accuses foreign companies of siphoning resources from his country. any of these companies use our land for their benefit. we have 3 agro industrial companies here in the district of design k, and they've invaded the area and taken all the space to farm and other poor farmers have to go very far away. the poor need bigger resources because it's a long term fight between the 2. the big companies have all the money to get the land, unlike the small planters. and that's the problem. the big companies have the means

to benefit from everything today has been over and justifying the exemption of robert from his anti deforestation. drugs the you earliest that it's important most of his for, and consequently does not contribute to the destruction of its own forests. we spoke with an environmental journalist who sees the situation, shows how he uses his own interest in africa. one, i've never seen africa. oh, from the prism of her patricia manufacturing. you know, the picture has been that he's the big basket is the warehouse. polo my vision, the only these did i pretend to say that they will look into the issue. but we know that she was going to issue because this this company's walk in community. we've got some government like those. this is a huge wellness problem. it is really

a huge contradiction because the vision of community life has been, has him in its business, in the face of this, went on, well, it's petition in africa that island is that we're moving the protecting your interest. we all knew the enemies in the international market, and these are good and those like global issues, look at in the industry is coming up, is lobby. you cannot buy the thing that this is. this is very clear. this is a permanent dynamic. ok in international market. inches. ah, the powerful earthquake in afghanistan has killed more than 1000 people. the ruling taliban militant group says that more than 1500 people have been injured in the

disaster. according to the un office for humanitarian affairs, over 2000 and houses have been destroyed, and residents say that the mountainous terrain complicates the gathering of exact information about the number of victims. as was hampering search and rescue efforts . the great stroke afghanistan, amid a serious humanitarian crisis, the red crescent said that over half the african population was in need a few monitoring systems, even before the earthquake ukraine belongs to the european family, but its path holds many conditions. those are the words of german chancellor la schoultz. i was the head of european council submits on thursday, where you leaders will vote on ukraine's membership in the union c chart. davinsky picks up the story. it's the summer you crane has been waiting for. will you leaders give it the nord of approval to become a candidate for membership or will life imitate art choice?

yes, you can win it. oh, my god, we decide to take your content or you, grania rolo, our god. so we've been waiting for this so much time. yes. i'm sorry. i wasn't. it is though expected the e you will say yes if only as a means of symbolically showing support for ukraine and providing a good dose of moral boosting. the commission chief has already given her seal of approval. yes, ukraine deserves european prospector. yes, ukraine should be welcomed as a candy dead country. it hasn't though, been a smooth ride. the key have numerous countries of question did suitability for candidate status issues over widespread corruption. a lack of stability in its

institutions. it's poor economic state. and of course the fact that the country is improved in a war have raised serious concerns. will you guys do me the activities of those politicians in that division or collusion will not succeed? what will receive a harsh response? however, many of these issues seem to have been whitewashed when the commission gave its recommendation. overall, as regards the political criteria, ukraine as well advanced in reaching the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for protection of minorities. but even alone, delane has admitted ukraine will have to pull out all of the stops if it's to reach the final destination. as an e. u. member. other members of the block agree,

this could be a very long way off. you $72.00, we all know perfectly well the process to allow ukraine to join would take several years. indeed, probably several decades. some countries such ifs turkey have been waiting since the end of the last century. and even if you crane can fulfill the very long list of requirements, the dream of becoming a member of the you could still be just fat. becoming a candid, it may signal the intention. but it's certainly no guarantee. mid enthusiastic rhetoric from the european block on ukraine's membership turkey which has been waiting for approval to join the you for more than 20 years, has found their membership card is still not ready. turkey today is further away than it was in 1999. the accession process is merit based and therefore it is very much in the hands of the applicant country. so he was granted you candidate status

back in 99. the 20 years later, the european parliament suspended folks on the countries inclusion amid human rights concerns us despite anchorage being a long term ally of the block on key issues, including the migrant crisis caused by the syrian war. the countries presidents believe that turkey is a session should be encouraged, as he states the ukrainian crisis, we asserted the strategic importance of turkey for the you week, a reaction. so the situation from august i just said that it was a political, economic, and geopolitical mistake. that turkish governments wanted to join the european union. and today this fact is revealed once again. it's wanting to have an equal relation, a european countries. but it's another think to, to be a country that europe try to use against against asia against russia, iraq, iran, and today,

turkish national interest and also church nation. and this has never required being a part of the european union, because turkey is not just on european country, but turkey is a euro, asian country. so, i mean, if you look them up, you will see that one part of churches in europe and the other part of george is in asia to stay in the gates. a gateway of europe in rates is not there today. the turkish, it isn't for kids. national interest on a new era in bilateral ties was the announcement made by the saudi crown prince and the turkey president during the prince's visits. and cora wednesday was the 3rd day of mohammed been some months, middle east toll with the prince, seeking to align the country stances on key issues as next month. so met with joe biden approaches, it's been sarmens 1st visit to turkey, since the murder of journalist jamal has shoji in his stumble, almost 4 years ago,

the instant of course, to drive a wedge between those 2 countries. at the time, the royal trip kicked off on monday as the prince met the gypsy president to discuss security and stability in the area the who signed off some point $7000000000.00 worth of agreements. jordan was also on the royal itinerary, despite gaze of strained relations between the 2 states, mostly due to crushing views on regional conflicts. but school science professors site southern told us the saudi princes visit comes amid a re shuffle of alliances in the region with fewer 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 and all of the company wants to all the ball to stand by him. well, he's going here and there to provide can assist also to prepare for the visit off than 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 alliances. and everything was, he saw the image on the one hand and then you had another alliance popped up and, and iran, this changes, know, we have a lot of interest that happened in the, in the last few months. actually wanted to bury the action and have some kind of peace because of dick do you think you can make them? this is today, it is not nobody's interest to play ideological games. there was no business today . all the areas are suffering economically and being federal dollars from the gulf states, but they will not go as far as that to please the americans because they know that one time the americans abandoned the main stories early this thursday morning here

on odyssey and national for more on any of them do with the r t dot com. i think the scott, from the back again about 35 in the ah, russian states never. i've been on the northland scheme. again. the, a with rural ban in the european union. the kremlin, can you get machine? the state aren't russia to date and r t sport neck, given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube

with me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time time to sit down and talk with edison. both,

both the models you need to do both got nothing new with a, a guy, nobody. a lot of them bought your own for them by the broker dealer, with all that they need that they're leaving any that account on your normally with for a new move this over to the museum here. well, i'm says, why do you live is if i'm dish with this is what the rest, the 1st phone number here we're modal doesn't

with with the 2nd will i think to millions of people for during the conflict the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations the united kingdom, the united states, and the u. s. s. on march the 31st 1945, a british royal air force plane lands in crimea with a very important passenger,
