repair facilities were head as well. while in fighting across the don boss, republics, russia say some 650 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours while tanks, artillery units, drones and other military hardware owned by key have been demolished on the deadlock situation in the key city of c ever done, yet, where fierce bottles have rage since early march remains unchanged? martine, seen 1st hand, how people in the city of done yet scar, living under daily shelling from the ukrainian army, or correspondent roman cluster of is there right? no, on file this report. today we're working in the keeps district of the city of the nascar. this area has been targeted by a crate in military for the last 8 years. and the shelling only intensified over the last 4 months. and the moment we are at one of the units, sofa local firefighters,

now this particular station has been hit several times by ukrainian artillery. over the last 8 years, it sustained quite a lot of damage, but firefighters emergency workers can continue receiving hundreds of calls every single day. the chief or for this station on the election go, has been in charge of this unit for over 8 years. and everyone here is like a son to him, so he knows every one year, deeply and personally. i asked him about the tactics that ukrainian artillery employ when bombarding civilian district. healthdesk was like the intense shelling like this has happened in 8 years. some regions of dentist city i shall to literally, every day. 8 years ago shelling lost it after an hour. now it can last 8 hours nonstop and it's civilian areas and civil an infrastructure that we're talking

about live in no chance for repairs. we see a pattern here after some shelling our less arrive and then after half an hour the shelling starts again. it is now go in cycles. what tactic is it? it's sort of tactic really. it's a mockery of all of us will of it that we what am i just we are now ready to leave from this fire station, but so we need to make sure that the road is clear, and we're not going to go under shilling. somebody finds out whether the road is that the coast is clear, that the were alecia often wilka. but anybody else look under that category sheet. so we've left the fire station emergency services the. the driver has that to make this scratch read a really fast. so with don't fall under ukrainian shelling which has been continuing to day since 8 o'clock in the morning in the here in the caves. kid district or something that's been happening here over the last 8 years and more

intensively over the last 4 months. scores of civilians have been killed, score the cylinders have been the ones it, but for now we are leaving this area and hopefully we'll make it back to our hotel . safe and sound roman, coarser of hearty done. that's another news line coming in, u. s. high mars missile systems have arrived in ukraine knob is according to key of authorities. the. busy long range rocket units were sent as part of another assistance package. washington previously announced the delivery of 4 other hi maurice systems, although they've not as yet been deployed as ukrainian soldiers hadn't been trained and how to use them. case or another, a headline story. the day as some of the bricks countries, the world's biggest, emerging economies has kicked off online with russia. president joining the

discussions. it's the 1st major multi lateral meeting vladimir putin has been part of since the ukraine conflict began. let's take a listen to what the russian leader, how to say it. his opening remarks along with the host of the summit, chinese president, she jin ping shingle our meeting today, kansas, the crucial moment of choice for the future of humanity. we must get the international community to practice true multilateralism, uphold the international system with the un at his core and international all the underpinned by international law. we must abandon the cold war mentality and block confrontation and oppose intellectual sanctions. and it's important for the world to recognize that forge in a community with shared future is much better than the practice of hedge money. will go only on the basis of honest and mutually beneficial cooperation. can we look for ways out of the crisis situation that has developed in the world economy due to the ill conceived selfish actions of certain countries? will at the start of a 2 day session, the leaders of the 5 bricks nations,

which are brazil, russia, india, china, on south africa, stress the importance of developing cooperation within the grouping with the russian president, stating the forum has massive potential for insuring global stability and security earlier ortiz worlds apart hostings on a boy co, gave me some insight on what's on the agenda of this years of this is the ford in summit. and originally this organization was created as this loose to can only trade a lions. no strings attached. the idea was to kick stars, trade and economic corporation among those large economies. and i think increasingly it's taking on a more political tone. it's not very expressed at this point, but you already can read between the lines. and i think the best way i can summarize it is that if the west particular the united states sees the current situation in the world as sort of a clash of an existential battle, that's been the talk,

chris's and democracy for many of the bricks leaders. if not for all, it's about practical governance versus political or i would even say part isn't maneuvering because there is a clear sense in many of their statements that they want. they want to focus on practical matters of how to improve the lives of the people in this very difficult situation. we have, you know, run away inflation all over the world, shortages of food and fuel supplies, etc. and in put in statement that she didn't think statements, we see that stress on actual work rather than ideological slogans. that's the main beef with the west that the western politics has become a way to populists, not on the mass level, but on the leap level. it's all about slogans and very little about practical matters of people's lives. and that's interesting because that's what a lot of people in the west are seeing themselves. and now the hearing leaders of

emerging countries seeing that as well. and by the way, i mean that there's emerging countries accounts for more than 3000000000 people. so it's a very large proportion of money. you mentioned it's been going through for over a decade now the bricks, the bricks for a month. how effective though, hasn't actually been over the years and how chris is it in today's economy? well, it's difficult to say, because i think we can clearly say that that potential hasn't been fully realized. even a comically, even though, for example, if you look at the figures, rushes, trade turnover with bricks, countries has increased, 48 percent in the 1st 3 months of this year despite all the sanctions. but i think many of the analysts within those countries believe that there are many more senators that haven't been fully explored than that trying to do it now and not out of spice against the west, but out of a cannot make necessity. and there is a lot of talk about strengthening economic corporation,

finding new ways of account settlements. there's even talk of perhaps some sort of a joint currency. again, not because of some ideological and 10 merican or anti repeat reason. but simply because macroeconomic station in the world is very, very difficult to be huge goodness because they get the green back in the dollar is, is the currency. so if you've got something that's backed up by major economies that could challenge the gemini, well, i think the, the united states itself is challenging. it's germany, and many of the leaders stated that already on various occasions in just the last 2 years, the money supply, they supply mass of the us dollar has increased roughly by 40 percent and with the euro, it's roughly by 20 percent. and obviously some of that burden is put on the developing countries. that's the major factor that's fueling the inflation. now even putting it aside, rush has own problems with the sanctions and being able to carry out those transactions

. but it's a major financial liability and that's why they're talking about finding a way to secure the economies and do it then mutually beneficial way. and there's even talk about perhaps expanding to further just the other day. the argentine as analog to china on the for the summit said that gina is also looking forward to joining this alliance, simply because cooperation there is mutually agreeable and it comes with no strings attached. you don't have to fulfill any political geopolitical obligations just on this. we spoke to a former indian diplomat who told us what new delhi expects from the bricks partnership and what he sees us, the groups recipe for success going forward. of course, we would like to be greater cooperation as prime minister movie has said that there have been, you know, certain areas or the last 14 years that the leaders have been meeting that. that has been some progress in a different large number of areas which we know about the new development bank. we

know about the currency, those from system, new development bang, the membership is increasing, slighting these outreach of this financial institution that is growing. so there are possibilities, and while you know, a number of the other international organizations have not been able to do, even as much as bricks has been able to do, at least breaks has been able to meet every year. and you know, the summit started taking place in 2009. they see value, they see merit in this organization. that is why they are willing to invest that much of time, effort, energy into coming together. or several countries have already expressed interest in becoming bricks. members, including iran, where russia's foreign minister held talks with his counterpart earlier. both sides discussed western sanctions with circular,

rob saying they go to limit the wall and see and sovereignty effects in moscow into iran. also insisted on the full restoration of the iranian nuclear deal. and called on turkey and the un to work to open up a black sea grain corridor. political communication professor at the university of iran for it has already believes a multi polar world is becoming a reality because of bricks has been interested in joining briggs for many years. you know, we are entering new will know this with countries confronting countries like russia, china, iran, and the country. is that because on the receiving end of us sanctions special have the nice or sometime now that they need to increase cooperation with each other is a big is a venue. these type of corporations can happen and that is why one is

interested in joining. i think it can contribute significant to that big project. ah, another story to tell you. but on a busy news day, you leaders have gathered to decide whether to support grunting. ukraine unvil, dover, come to the sea status for the block. it comes after the european parliament approved a resolution on the issue earlier, but some politicians say the decision will just be the start of a long road ahead for ukraine on may not have the end and key of the seeking condition in granted, you candidate status. the ukraine is a symbolic decision. accession to the blog will require a huge reforms and time and albany, as prime minister said ukraine joining me. you will not be a speedy process. indeed, albania, north macedonia, montenegro, serbia, and turkey are all current candidates on the list. as mentioned,

not all eager parliament members support the resolution. so many things from frances identity and democracy on the left party and early ordered again 5. incidentally, the european commission opted not to recommend georgia for candidacy stated by it should be noted, such a status does not confer membership which could still be decades away for ukraine. but the european council president contains a strong position on here, especially by broke. all the vote is open. this is a decisive moment for the your opinion saw a job or different choice to, to, to make, to do. and i'm trying to figure out which to do with ukraine. it hasn't though, been a smooth right. the kiev 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 finish the activities of those politicians aimed at the vision 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 lung delane has admitted ukraine will have to pull out all of the stops if it's to reach the final destination. as an e, you 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 ships, turkey have been waiting since the end of the last century. and even if you crane can fulfill the very long list requirements, the dream of becoming a member of the you could still be just fat, becoming a candidate may signal the intention. but it's certainly no guarantee or independent political on a less than or 3rd gilbert, doctoral beliefs. the decision creates an illusion of solidarity within the block. we're talking about a symbolic statement. we're talking about a demonstration by the commission and by or slow from the land in particular. but if you, if you apply massive force and coercion, you can get 27 member states to say that one and one is for it doesn't make one and 14. but it does create an illusion of solidarity and it,

and it enhances the principle that motivates you today, which is strengthen unity. the question of whether that strength is in confirm confirming, and implementing absolutely stupid policies is not discussed. the fact that mister schultz would promote it, there's one more indication of is complete on preparedness for the responsibilities of the bears. as a leader of the most of the most economically important country in europe. a finland and sweden are also finding hurdles on the way to joining a block, but in their case, it's not the you. but nato. the alliance is chief, has no hinting it might not be as easy as 1st anticipated. we are now working actively on the next steps in the session process, or both spin and, and when and addressing 30th security concerns,

including in the fight against terrorism. my aim is to find the common way forward, so both countries can join our lines as soon as possible. they applied for not so many weeks ago. and my aim is still to make sure that they can join us soon. i cannot, i cannot guarantee, but i'm saying that's my aim. while there's less than a week to go now before a highly anticipated nato summit in madrid, finn and down sweden's bid to join the block is high on the agenda. all nato members need to back, the move for it to be adopted over on credit is holding out, claiming the nordic nations tolerates and even supports a legit turkish terror groups. moreover, the finished president has admitted his country is unlikely to join the alliance by september. at least we discuss the issue with turkish shippers on the list. you super right now with the nato submit about a week away. i don't see any scenario where sweden is,

then we'll make it at the madrid summit maybe later on if they're going to make the necessary compromise in the roadmap to get laid out for them. i don't think he's gonna change it's good demand. so they're very, very clear. i think that is objection to sweden and finland are actually a sign of a much bigger problem. and they're not just objections towards sweden and finland, membership out of this strategic concept. documents being drawn up in madrid, june 20th, and 29th. you're gonna want to see more than assurances it's going to want to see some guarantees. and some clear red lines that are going to separate nato members and put distance between them and designated tire groups that harm the national security of members. germany, her son did the alarm over guests supplies warning enough that countries economic i put, could for interest session. if russian exports stopped all to gather gas prices in europe jumped in mid june following use that russian energy jive gas problem would

reduce gas flow into germany by 40 percent, claiming a german operator for not making schedule pipe recursion time. moscow insist the supply cups were not deliberate, or berlin remains unconvinced. we must not full ourselves. the cotton gas supplies is an economic attack on us by putting from the on the gas is cars, commodity in germany. we are therefore now obliged to reduce gas consumption. now already in summer, curious as early as shall said, beginning of april during a trip to london, the british prime minister of course, johnson. we are actively working to get independent from the important oil. and we think that we will be able to make it during this year, and we are actively working to get independent from the necessity of importing gas from russia actively working. he also said that germany was optimistic that we will get rid of the need of importing russian. yeah, very soon. so pop the champagne mission accomplished right. or live getting exactly

what it said that it wanted and actively work for with a drastic reduction of russia. yes, the courts due to sanctions against russia, but instead of celebrating its progress in reducing russian, yeah, it's sounding the alarm and lady liner group. why did even need to bring the line recruiting into this when they're doing such a bad job of being their own worst enemy? the russian president is obviously not responsible for setting you for sherman policy that harming russia. these folks really are just an absolute sideshow. berlin is surprised that plans it backfires ran his face because he clearly didn't think all this through before pulling the trigger on rush sanctions . and now there's added concern of a gas shut down in july during scheduled nord stream, one pipeline maintenance, meeting even less gas supply. and it's not like there isn't another pipeline just

sitting around waiting to be used. but berlin cow town to washington and you, when they demand in north street too high line to carry russian gas into germany and europe be blocked by stations chemical industry association. she, your rothermel says that german gas storage needs to be at 90 percent capacity, but also way gas images and mandated reduction of industrial gas consumption by the federal energy regulator. it's not a gas from c e o. alexi miller didn't warn you earlier this month of the potentially disastrous consequences of these kinds of misguided policies. well, gallery mccook, the paradigm itself, is changing. the priority is being driven to another formula, goods, money, good. so we sell gas than we extracted our goods. our rules, europe has abandoned long term contracts. that means that for those long term

contracts that have not been concluded or extended capacities have not been created as a result, spot markets are a liquid. if we warned europe about the consequences we were asked to build nord stream to we built it, but it was not certified issue. berlin back itself and quantity into a corner by caving to ideological anti rush pressures without a viable backup plan. or really any realistic short term stop measures. of course, berlin could end all of this self inflicted pain anytime they want it. and it could reverse course fire up north stream too. but that would require courage. placing its own economic interests above suicidal purchasing lee and of course owning up to the states made by both brussels and berlin. ah, sir, malia is starving to death before our eyes bouts. this stark warning. the u ends

issued to g. 7 leaders ahead of their summit this weekend. it said only a must have an immediate scaling up of funds could save the country, descending into a catastrophe, cause by a great famine. and somali is just one part of an extensive crisis unfolding on the african continent, right? but despite a global appeal for e, c o, b s, i should not answer molly attracting pledges of 6000000000 dollars. the u. n. sage, only 3 percent of those funds have actually been received in a bid to tackle the food crisis in. i forget the e. u has pledged on the additional humanitarian package, but it's estimated to be much less than europe is providing for you. crane with more and how the funding is drying up your chart teeth, policy or i spotted him to the waste of johannesburg. where when a typical doesn't have a job and wanting for people like the rest of africa is patient insecurity. maybe 15000000 children are managed on this continent. now to fight found them in the

last year. you opinion spend $1800000000.00 compare this would be $4300000000.00. more than twice that number, that the e u has spent in ukraine in just the last 4 months. the ear foreign policy chief joseph borrow. it uses the russian president vladimir putin, of a deliberate attempt to create hunger in the world in order to put pressure on the youth to lift the sanctions. one can not imagine that millions of tons of wheat remain block ukraine. you are the director who will, people are suffering hunger pieces that really walk right. but in africa, 12 people die upon get every minute. statistics that existed long before the ukrainian crisis. not only does not acknowledge it's disproportionate spending in ukraine, it's doing very little to help fight famine. it's excuse and i want to

insist that it's not going to be in the sanction shall reach, create dangerous crisis. our sanctions don't target foot don't out of the 4th. july's african leaders disagree. the chairman of the african union court on brussels to provide relief for imported cereals and fertilizers. it is aggravated by european sanctions on the method of payment. we want to play, but it comes impossible. so we are asking the europeans for the same mechanism as for gas and oil so far that coal has fallen on deaf ears. bowen, so that the e sanctions on russia are not responsible for the global through crisis. and an african countries should not gain any special stations for killing that to people who live here the way food is case and becoming more so the policy a r t 212 to get a better understanding of the military issues and food crisis in africa. we spoke

to local experts call issue to measure and one aspect regarding crisis well, or something should happen. you know, so there's been issues for building a country. money is one issue that we're also contributing to make any sense to ensure that money's stand correctly in order to hunger and burn fan and africa. the focus has to be on number one, emergency food assistance that can help burnable people in rapid chance and id. and people have been displaced to conflict number to helping some people are and they get access to funding and assistance in order to improve agricultural yields developing countries in europe and the united states and canada to provide assistance in to provide support and it help country implement developmental

initiatives that can reduce poverty, increase employment, and create opportunity and improve governance and contribute to social development . one sustainable developmental model that is not predicated on one time that's related to conflict related to the emergency. there should be a sustainable relationship that can ensure that africa is liable for if you'd like to delve further into any of those stories, do check out r t dot com. it'll have you covered. thanks for your company. this news our from the team and myself, you know the legal for now with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic 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 you in a.
