were heavy as well, while in fighting across the don bus republics, russia se, some 650 ukrainian soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours while tanks, artillery units, drones and other military hardware owned by key has been demolished. the deadlock situation in the key city of sir ver done yet were fierce. bustles have raged. since early march remains on changed when our team seen 1st hand how people in the city of done yet scarred living under daily shelling from the ukrainian army. our correspondent roman culture is there right? no, on file this report. today we're working in the keeps kit districts 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 for 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 fire fighters, emergency workers continue receiving hundreds of calls every single day, the chief or for this station and 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 districts of the nest with intense shelling like this hasn't 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 lives arrive and then after half an hour the shelling starts again. it is now go in cycles. what tactic is it? it's not a tactic really. it's a mockery of all of us will of the we but i just we're 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 shelling somebody finds out whether the road is the coast is clear, market over we just like to have some of her but maybe a little over a little ways it. so we've left a fire station emergency services. the driver has that to make this rich read, read a fast so with don't fall on their ukrainian shelling, which has been continuing to day since 8 o'clock in the morning. and the here in the keeps kit district or something that's been happening here over the last 8 years and more intensively over the last 4 months scores ofa

civilians have been killed for 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 cos, or have hearty dannetta. another news line coming in us. hi mars miss. i'll systems have arrived in ukraine. knob is according to key of authorities. the long range rocket units were sent as part of another assistance package. washington previously announced the delivery of 4 other high mar systems, although they've not as yet been deployed as ukrainian soldiers hadn't been trained and how to use them. ah, okay, so another a headline story today, a summit of the bricks countries, the world's biggest emerging economies has kicked off online with russia's 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 his opening remarks along with the host of the summit, chinese president, she jin ping single hour meeting today, kansas a 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 order underpinned by international law. we must abandon the cold war mentality and block confrontation and oppose unilateral 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 gonna only on the basis of honest and mutually beneficial corporation. 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? well, at the start of a 2 day session, the leaders of the 5 bricks nations,

which are brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. stress, the importance of developing cooperation within the grouping with the russian president, stating the forum has, must have potential for ensuring global stability and security. earlier ortiz world to part hostings on a boy co, gave me some insight on what's on the agenda of this years. this is the ford in summit, and originally this organization was created as this loose to can only trade a lions, no strings attached to the idea was to kick stars trade and economic corporation among those large economies. and i think increasingly it's taking on them more political tone. it's not very expressive 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 station in the world as sort of a clash and the central battle that's been the talk receives 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. and that's the main beef with the west that the western politics has become a way to populists, not on the math 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 is emerging countries accounts for more than 20000000000 people. so it's a large proportion of humanity. you mentioned it's been going through for over a decade now. the bricks, the bricks for a month. how effective though, has it actually been over the years and how chris is it in today's economy? well, it's difficult to say, you know, because i think we can clearly say that that potential hasn't been fully realized. even economically, 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 signatures 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 greenback dollar is, is the currency. so if you've got something that's backed up by major economies that could challenge the gemini couldn't well, i think the united states itself is challenging. it's germany, and many of the leaders stated that already on various occasions in just the last few 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 they split on the developing countries. that's the major factor that's fueling the inflation. now even putting it aside, rushes 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 in their mutually beneficial way. and there's even talk about perhaps expanding it a bit further. just the other day, the argentine as an award to china on the for this some it said that jan is also looking forward to joining this alliance, simply because corporation there is mutually agreeable and it comes with no strings attached. you don't have to fulfill any political geopolitical obligations. but 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 group recipe for success going forward. of course, we would like to be greater cooperation as prime minister movie has said that there have been certain areas or the last 14 years that the leaders have been meaning that there are some progress in a different large number of areas we know about the new development bank,

we know about the currency, those forms. as a new development bank, the membership is increasing slighting the 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, are we able to meet every year. and, you know, the summit starts 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 for 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 discuss western sanctions with circle of roles saying they limit the wallet in

sovereignty effects. to 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 to run for designing leaves. a multi puerto world is becoming a reality because of bricks has been interested in joining brakes for many years. as you know, we are entering new will know this with western countries conference in countries like russia, china, iran, and the country that was on the receiving end of us sanctions. us special have the nice or sometime now that they need to increase cooperation. ready with each other is a breaks is a venue where this type of corporations can happen. and that is why one is

interested in joining. i think it can contribute significant to the big project. ah, you know the story to tell you. but on a busy news day, you leaders have gathered to decide whether to support grunting, ukraine and more dover candidacy 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 funding of in granted you candidate status the ukraine is a symbolic decision accession to the blog will require 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 in 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 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 bro, called the vote is open. this is a decisive moment for the your opinion to saw a job or to food choice through to me today. and i'm trying to convince him to do with ukraine. it hasn't though, been a smooth right. 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. would you give me the activities of those politicians aimed at division or collusion will not succeed, but will receive a harsh response. however, many of these issue 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 lun delane has admitted ukraine will have to pull out all of this 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. 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 of 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 3 gilbert doctoral beliefs. the decision creates an illusion of solidarity within the block. we're talking about a symbolic statement. we're talking about the demonstration by the commission and by worst look on 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 a doesn't make one in 14. but it does feel create an illusion of solidarity. and it,

and it enhances the principle that motivates you today, which is strength and unit. the question of whether that strength is in confirm confirming, and implementing absolutely stupid policies is not discussed. the fact that mister schultz was promoted, there's one more indication of is complete on preparedness for the responsibilities of the bears. as the leader of the most of 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 now 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 finan sweden 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 lives as soon as possible. they're proud for not so many weeks ago, and my aim is still to make sure that they can join us soon. i can't, i cannot guarantee, but something that's been my aim. while there's less than a week to go now before a highly anticipated nato summit in madrid for and then down sweden's bed 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 it, claiming the nordic nations tolerates, and even supports alleged turkish terror groups. moreover, the finished president has admitted his country is unlikely to join the alliance by september. at least we discussed the issue with turkish schaeffer as on the list use upper 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 that you 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 so we didn't membership out of this strategic concept documents being drawn up in madrid, june 20th and 29th chick is going to want to be more than assurances, it's going to want to see some guaranteed and some clear red lines that are going to separate nato members and put distance between them and designate tire groups that harm the national security of members. germany, her son did the alarm over guests supplies warning amount that countries economic output could fall into recession if russian exports stopped altogether. gas prices in europe jumped in mid june following use that brushing energy. giant 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 cuts were not deliberate or berlin remained unconvinced. we must not fool ourselves. the cotton guest applies is an economic attack on us by putting from the on the guest 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 . ready 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. berlin,

getting exactly what it said that it wanted. and actively work for with a drastic reduction of russia. yes. the court's due to sanctions against russia. but instead of celebrating its progress in reducing russian, yeah, it's sounding the alarm and blaming blind or good. why did even need to bring the land recruiting into this when they're doing such a bad job of being their own worst enemy throwing president is obviously not responsible for setting you for sherman policy and harming russia. these folks really are just an absolute sideshow. berlin is surprised that plans it backfires ran his face because it 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, meaning even less gas supply. and it's not like there isn't another pipeline just

sitting around way to be used. but berlin cow town to washington and the you, when they demand the north street too high, flying to carry russian gas into germany and europe, a blot by sanction chemical industry association. she, your rothermel says the german gas storage needs to be at 90 percent capacity, but also way gas shortage is an mandate 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. we run gallery mccook, the paradigm itself is changing with 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 as human. berlin back itself and quantity into a corner by caving to ideological anti russian pressures without a viable backup plan. or really any realistic short term stop measures. of course, berlin could end all of this self inflicted they anytime it wanted. 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. somalia is starving to death before our eyes bouts. this stark warning,

the u. n's issued to g 7 leaders ahead of their summit this weekend. it said only a massive and immediate scaling up of funds could save the country, descending into a catastrophe, caused by a great famine. and somali is just one part of an extensive crisis unfolding on the african continent, right, so, but despite a global appeal for e. c o, p. s, such as i'm somali, attracting pledges of 6000000000 dollars, the u. n. c's, 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 ukraine. with more and how the funding is drying up your chart tease policy or a canceled 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 among life on this continent.

now to fight found them in the last year. the european union spend $1800000000.00. compare this for feet, 4300000000 dollars more than twice that number, that the e u has spent in ukraine in just the last 4 months. the foreign policy chief joseph borrow accuses the russian president vladimir putin of. 7 a deliberate attempt to create hunger in the world in order to put pressure on the you to lift the sanctions. one cannot imagine that the millions of tons of read remain blog ukraine. you wasn't the rest of the world. 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 ensure

that it's not gonna be in sanction. sure. which creates english crisis. our sanctions don't target foot don't out of the 4th july. 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 says that the sanctions on russia are not responsible for the global from crisis. an african countries should not katie any special stations feeling that to people who live here way food is scarce and becoming more so. policy on 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 an issue for building a come key money is one issue that had been great, but it also contributed to wouldn't make any sense to ensure that money's stand correctly in order to hunger and pad and africa has to be on number one, emergency food assistance can help burnable people in repartee and id. and people have been displaced through the complex 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 united states and canada to provide assistance in to provide support. and it can help countries and developmental initiatives

that can reduce poverty, increase employment, create opportunity, and improve good governance and contribute to social economic development. one sustainable developmental model that is not predicated on one time that's related to conflict related to the emergency, but it shouldn't be a sustainable relationship that can ensure that africa is self reliable for if you'd like to delve further into any of those stories, do check out our t v dot com, they will have you covered. thanks for your company. this news our from the team on myself. you know the legal for now. ah, 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 on offense. 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 sri lanka has become the 1st southeast asian country in 2022, unable to pay its foreign debt. this total is $51000000000.00. you end up doing the vol. reading phase, such a economic challenge. the sanctions imposed by western countries against russia have brought this island nation to its knees. oil prices have skyrocketed as have petrol medicine and food for the laser brice.
