durable lucille included with the boys. joke here, thanks for the ukrainian forces for providing extra weapons and ammunition for their little units, for made weapons as well, like these rocket launchers. this is the infamous british mate and law. as faith battles come to a head in several done yet, unless it chanced all t visit a nearby town taken by russian forces just days ago. the 2nd day of the 14th brick summit is about to kick off the leaders of the 5 nations stressed the need for cooperation despite western attempt to so discord among the partners states and a symbolic decision does how the belgium prime minister runs the e. u granting ukraine candidacy to join the block as the actual session may take years.

with coming to you from our headquarters here in moscow and broadcasting to the world, you're watching asi international. i peter scott, i'm more of a journey from welcome to the programmer. we start this out with the latest on the war in ukraine. in danielle, one person has been killed and 3 more injured. after shelling of the city center by the ukranian army with artillery and rockets, a television center in the city was hit in the attack. according to local reports, equipment was damaged, but no casualties were repulsed among the stuff there. and in little guns people's republic, the ukrainian military last around 150 troops and some 450 injured over 2 days that is according to the russian defense ministry. officials added nearly $1500.00 explosives were cleared in the area over 24 hours. and now let's take a look at what's happening on the outskirts of the city of listed chance in the mood,

people's republic where this fighting continues. the republics armed forces alongside russian soldiers are advancing on the city were up to $7000.00 ukrainian forces are believed to be located there reported to be cut off from supplies from ukrainian controlled territory. and the guns military officials claim they'll soon have the whole republic under their control. all correspondents good have done since this report from the front line. this little village just outside of the city of several . the next is strategically crucial for the russian forces. basically, this is one of the main directions from where they are closing in the encirclement, the so called cattle around the ukranian forces in the town of lucy chanced on top of that. now that this place is under the control of the russians, what they did, they basically kicked out the enemy artillery from here because this place is a great vantage point overlooking the town of several minutes.

little to me because i did roger, but we got that boom. we started to move from house to house and were meeting fierce resistance. we drove the ukrainians out, the nearest houses after a 2 day battle with right after that they moved to the other side of the street and held that position. but our forces started to get around them from the left and right flanks. we moved along and started to direct our artillery as they had trenches over there while we started to defeat them and move further along. and a little further. a group of around 15 or 20 ukrainian soldiers engaged us with foolish mort arsenal to us, and we saw them in time as the la against the horses were operating there and had warned us about the enemy, because we decided to face the enemy from that position in that house where we saw them, but they didn't see us got around them from the right and a fear, shoot out a start end, which lasted for 2 hours. then they directed artillery on us to help their troops to get out in him. so our soldiers had to move a bit and we left when within 2 days we stormed the position again and drove the

enemy out from there to. ah, so did you not think were the ukrainian soldiers executed our neighbors? he had been in the basement with us, but when the battle started, we went for water and they went across the road to get things from their houses. and then we heard shark as he didn't come back for days. it was too dangerous and check on them while the battle was going on to the leader. when we went over to find them, then we saw their dead bodies that ukrainian soldiers had shot them at point blank range. they clearly saw that they were civilians and they shot the man in the head and his wife in the back. ah,

as the boys joke here, thanks for the ukrainian forces for providing extra weapons and munition for their little unit for made weapons as well, like these rocket launchers, this is the infamous british made and law smaller one. this is polish, made another one. this is so get made, and yet another piece with all the instructions on it written in english, all these items are being successfully used against well now, against the ukraine enforcers on this direction. as fighting continues, russian armed forces have delivered new packages of humanitarian aid to the done yet under guns people's republics. as well as to these up region which is under russian control. moscow says it has delivered more than a $180.00 tons of supply civilians with russia planning to significantly cree increase age shipments to $40000.00 tons, which are being prepared now for the regions. the 2nd day of the

14th break summits, which is a meeting of the world's biggest emerging economies, is about to kick off at the start of the session. the leaders of the 5 nations expressed solidarity on economic unsecure to issues. and despite attempts by some western states to drive a wedge between them, we are glad to note that despite challenges briggs, countries in 2022 have jointly continued at hansing, solidarity and deepening cooperation on the economy. peace and security. people to people exchanges public health and sustainable development. we reiterate the call for reforms of the principal organs of the united nations. china and russia reiterated the importance they attached to the status and role of brazil, indian south africa in international affairs, and supported their aspiration to play a greater role in the you. in brazil, russia, india, and china, africa, which are the 5 members of the briggs group, are taking part in a 2 day virtual summit. and to put some figures into perspective, the total population of the group exceeds $3000000000.00 people,

which is over 40 percent of the world's population. and the gross domestic product of the bricks group is $23.00 and a half trillion dollars. with the countries trade share covering over 20 percent of the global market, and experts expect this number to rise to 37 percent in the next 8 years. and that will exceed the total share of the u. s. and e u and international trade. well ilia, my colleague unit, o'neil and ortiz, will depart host office on a boy to discuss what's on the agenda of this year. so it's originally this organization was created as this loose economics trade alliance. 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 them more political tone. it's not very express 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 the central battle between 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 have been 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, ran away inflation all over the world, shortages of food and fuel supplies, etc. and in put in statement and 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 math level, but on the leap level. it's all about slogans and very little about practical

matters of people's lives. 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 crucial 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, russia's tre turnover, bricks, countries have increased 38 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 canal mac 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 idea logical and can merican or anti repeat reason. but simply

because macroeconomic station in the world is very, very difficult to be chewed goodness, because the, 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, the united states itself is challenging. it's a gemini, 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 is put 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 the mutually beneficial way. and there's

even talk about perhaps expanding it a bit further. just the other day, the argentine as analog to china on the from this some it said that they're genuine, 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. larry, we spoke to a former indian diplomat who told us what you did. he expects from the briggs partnership. multi thies is the group recipe for success. of course, we would like to be greater cooperation as prime minister movie has said that, that have mean, you know, certain areas or the last 14 years that the leaders that are going some progress in a different large number of areas you know about the new development bag they know about the currency, those new development bang the membership is increasing slighting 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 breaks, as remember to do, at least breaks. are we able to move every year and, you know, the summit started taking place in 2009. they see the value they see merit in this organization. that is why they're willing to invest that much of time for energy into coming together. a task for generations, us an idea of how much money the west should spend to help keep rebuild after the war. that's according to german chancellor. love schultz. when we die much, just like water in europe, then ukraine today needs the marshall plan for rebuilding. the e. u has mobilized billions of dollars of funds in the last $100.00 days to help

you crane, which we will need many more billions of years and dollars for rebuilding events will be a tough for generation dollar. could be, the ukraine says is received around $30000000000.00 in foreign aid since the beginning of the war with up to one 3rd of the funds being non re payable. that's is the u. s. is reportedly pledged more than $54000000000.00 all the way to ukraine, with the u. finalizing and other financial package for kids with $9500000000.00. let's go compensator and radio host. steve gill says that raises questions about what's ukraine is actually spending the money on? well, i think 1st of all, we should get a full accounting of what's been spent, where it's gone year. before this all started, ukraine was known as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. and i kind of feel like if the ukrainians or say they've gotten 30 in total, i feel little bit like when i would give my teenage sons at the time 20 bucks on a friday and saturday morning. they're asking me for more money. my 1st question is, what did you do with the money boys? so the 5455000000000 the us and sent to ukraine. where's the money gone if they

only have $30.00? meanwhile, european leaders have voted to grunt ukraine candidate status to join the you despite the economic woes. the book is so faced a severe economic issues. belgian says the move is more of a symbolic gesture. this is to land rental e u. canada status to ukraine is a symbolic decision session to the blogger will require huge reforms and time. the word symbolic is hugely important. here, as on paper, ukraine far from meets many of the requirements to become a member of the block. what the e u is doing. by offering, not just ukraine, but also more over this next step is essentially using them to try and stick it to president putin. that's not been lost in translation. it is a signal to moscow that ukraine and also other countries from the former soviet union cannot belong to the russian sphere of influence. but he is the crux, while many will be jumping for joy over this news,

they are soon likely to come back to earth with a big bump. ukraine has issues, big economic issues. the war has provoked. many of them it can't be ignored. the parts of the country will have to be rebuilt from scratch, and that is going to cost a lot of money. early estimates from the u. n. suggest some $600000000000.00 with a price tag going up every day that you has already a marked recovery funds. we stand ready to take a leading role in the international reconstruction efforts to help rebuild a democratic and prosperous ukraine. this means investments will go hand in hand with reforms that will support ukraine and pursuing its european path. sounds like they've got it all in hand and maybe they would have if you are a pin countries, we're also not struggling with their own economies. think greece, for example, it's long had problems after it emerged in the cook, the books to join the euro in the 1st place,

injection after injection of cash hasn't appeared to have worked. now, as economies across the you struggle with the impact of inflation. greece is once more falling into basket case status, who's the amiga? what has changed is that we have seen the price of fuel has gone up and the invoices from the electricity companies are a great shock for everyone. i would say that people are afraid of the crisis in my restaurant business is definitely down compared to last year, because that will tell us that we have is huge. we'll anxious anticipating what will come, that we are struggling every day. so we can fill in the gaps, generally, things that difficult and i don't see things changing because prices keep going up . i asked the course is apperson just keep coming now while wages have dropped. so we don't have one now the choice but to work 2 jobs. actually a process keep going up a very difficult. we don't even use all calls. we all fall motor bikes because they

burn less fuel. we avoid going out or just the coffee at most great, have seen protests over the rising costs of living and it's not alone in the you the the given the situation in ukraine, the e was like, you have to spend a lot of money over the next decade or so in a bit to $25.00 it's economy. can i do that at the same time as looking off to its current men, but whoops. and now the you could also have to contend with the disillusionment of countries in the western vulcans who already spent many years waiting to join the block. if countries that aspire to join the you face delays, they will reorient their policies and then we will have an increase of russian and chinese influence in the western vulcans. candidate status seemed like

a giant leap for ukraine. the next 1 may be insurmountable. i don't think that realism enters into any of the calculations here. we're talking about a symbolic statement. we're talking about the demonstration by the commission and, but we're looking to 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 one for. but it does get to create the illusion of solidarity and it, and it enhances the principle that motivates you today, which is strength and unity. the question of whether that strength is in confirm confirming and implementing absolutely stupid policies is not discussed. in other news, the taliban authorities, enough gun is done, are appealing for international helped us following this week's devastating earthquake. the left,

at least 1000 people dead. the earthquake in south eastern afghanistan was the deadliest in decades destroying over 1500 homes. according to local authorities. rescue operations are ongoing with humanitarian aid on medical support been delivered by helicopter the affected areas for us 60 of states, anthony blink, and earlier said that medical aid will be provided to afghanistan. meanwhile, the un chinese ambassador has demanded that the us returns african is tons, overseas assets emit immediately, it is unreasonable, unjustified, and unacceptable to freeze the afghan assets. yet on the u. s. should respond to the appeals of the secretary. general human rights expert is on humanitarian agencies and other policies by unconditionally returning african overseas assets as soon as possible. so $7000000000.00 in off gone. the central bank assets were frozen by the u. s. starts after the taliban took control of the country last august. in february, this year,

the u. s. president signed an order to release those assets. however, the money is yet to be dispersed on when it says it's supposed to be divided between monitoring groups. and i've got this done, and the fund for 911 victims former off gun president, how many cars i has demanded at the u. s. returns all the money back to the african people. i've gone journalist below, so worry says the u. s. does not have the right to take money away from the african people the life this can simply not rob the afghans be below the 7000000000 dollars in say we're giving it to the victims of the 911 victims. you know, i mean it's also important that people like myself, lost all of my savings money that i have trusted banks with. so it is incredibly important to clarify and the people put the money. the money belongs to people who understand to businesses. you know, it is actually quite cruel to just basically punish the african people for it. i

mean, they live states in many ways because of the exit in that they had to where the americans contributed in some ways to the fall off on to the taliban. you know, and it is important to mention that the afghan people continue to demand the united states release those funds as soon as possible. there's also people in the west including former senior us and western officials who continue to advocate. and i want to sign is a country where millions of people face the risk of mass starvation. if it's not, the bombs is suicide. it's actually a lot it's, it's such natural disasters. and the truth is that the taliban are not equipped. they're not able to help the victims, if there is a time, it will be right now to release those files because they belong to the people on a stand. and that alone could actually provide some oxygen into the economy which

isn't comma demo u. s. congress from an ill hon. omar has introduced a resolution designated india country of particular concern that's for a legit religious freedom violations. and that's a claim which new delhi has repeatedly denied as biased. the indian government escalated its promotion and enforcement of policies, including those promoting the hindu nationalist agenda that negatively affect muslims. christians seeks dallas and other religious minorities. now that move does not mean that the resolution will necessarily be adopted. india has repeatedly criticized what's its views of attempts of interference. pointing to the alleged bias of the u. s. reports and its quotes informed comments earlier, new delhi, the ministry of external affairs spokesman, condemned congress when omar for interfering in india's internal affairs. after a visit to the disputed indian territory of customer relations between the 2 countries have begun to noticeably deteriorates. the u. s. s. could sides india

democracy and this commons as recent attempts from washington to drive a wedge between new delhi and moscow, have failed with india remaining firm on its tons of cooperation with russia. we discussed the india us relationship with a foreign affairs experts and ill trigo and i ads who thinks it's part of a concerted efforts undermine indian autonomy. i really, really feel that this is a motivated campaign. and secondly, i also created that, you know, many people and then i get paid for the western. what i'm happy with india is, can you give me an independent what? so there was good tried to use these human rights scandal, essentially, to target a country like india. india is the 2nd largest nation, and the bigger one of the biggest markets. it is the fastest growing for me,

even the randomly. and it's a market which everybody i that and i think the states also we have a global, comprehensive, has started the partnership. and finally, subsidiaries of the commodity traded glen court and the u. k. u s. and brazil have pleaded guilty to bribery charges related to the oil operation in several african countries. the u. k series fraud office, which brought the case against the company. so if that someone hearing will take place in november, the s f o investigation exposed that glen core via its employees and agents paid bribes of over $28000000.00 for preferential access to oil, including increased cargoes valuable grades of oil and preferable delivery dates. these actions were approved by the company across its oil operations in nigeria, cameroon ivory coast, equitorial guinea and south sudan. glenn call officials said that they expect to pay up to $1500000000.00 in penalties for those actions and eliminate colds.

hearing on tuesday, the company admitted it paid more than $28000000.00 in bribes to secure preferential accessed oil from african countries owning illegal profits between 20112016. so the investigations into the company. the alleged violations are currently being conducted by dutch and swiss authorities. earlier we spoke with format nigerian presidential candidates, adama god. but the 2nd who thinks this shows a pattern of behavior by global enterprises in africa is not, is not actually surprising to me. so because if you look at what glen cora, be really nafrica on. so many of this kind of for middle global enterprise is exploitative. so some of them take advantage of the crises that we have in africa to be able to make nonprofits. colonialism might be out in terms of our immunization, what you're going to make on your living. students continued in africa,

and i knew something that we need to very seriously view in this kind of kind of go, glen hope will be an a all your company. this company, but what about this type of africa? what about damage is that just don't continue to listen to this crow practices who's going to be responsible for the composition dakota from the to with to me. yeah. with this with this kind of indictment. europe has no more outstanding to begin to get caught africans as grossly corrupt. in fact, maybe we are taught to be caught by the corruption of the corporation that up in our environment with someone trying to say that it is the routing to be put off. what i'm trying to see with the situation, why i'm africa and his grow, and he's got to be caught up. he should be doing or wanting to know similar to the way who should do with every 4 pm, our pm on no one who does come up to be corrupt. for there can be no you because

you're the ones that know those. the main stories this our head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more ip just got anything. great. have you with us? thank you for watching. ah, any meaningful relationship is based on the following trust. this is absent in russia's relationship with the west. essentially, moscow does not deem western leaders to be good faith actors. this is the lesson learned since the end of the cold war. as we all know, rainy trust is very difficult, if not impossible. with

awe on february, the 24th 2022, russia launched a special military operation in ukraine. the campaigns 1st major battle was an operation to bring the city of murray. you pulled back under the control of pro russian don bass. with a guy

i spoke with almost 3 months now. alexander had a cough skis, unit made up of volunteers from dun ask, has been fighting on the murray upa front for community prospect. thank you. from previous conspirator, i said you were gonna do, sir, master at the foot, you as to his daughter, but i see you brought the paper. looks the i'm capable of postal room. you might get a buzz. you sort of a little boy because you'll ah,

oh, thank angie 14, how kosky relies they would have to fight in is the ukraine's pro russian cities as protests on keys. my dan escalated into st warfare with which he wasn't stumble then. yes. get anybody listen. when your city is like okay, but i'm with the system or if i was all sure, i'm just and we do him book, but i wasn't almost a julie but also for a with my mother's telephone. yup, i'm sure.
