july, from our studios here in moscow. this is our teachers on 60 n here in the russian caps on saturday morning. i'm peter scott. welcome to the broker. we start with the latest developments in ukraine where russian troops have partially surrounded the city of louis chance, according to the russian, m. o. d for ukrainian battalions comprising up to 2005 just are in circled in the area, are eager to done a report on the latest the position of the ukrainian forces in the town of lucy chance. because dia, according to the russian defense ministry in the latest briefing, they have revealed that the russian forces they have managed to overcome and well capture and overwhelm some very well fortified positions of the key of troops outside of the town. of least chance can essentially the russians. they have blocked the town from the south, further down from the same direction and not the group of the russian forces on the

la guns republics militia. they have managed to deal with a so called cattle. there were 2 remaining strongholds of the ukrainian forces that and now more than 2000 people that were there, they are no more. some are killed, some, well they have managed to escape and others while they are prisoners of war. now i've had a chance to interview a bunch of them and here's what they told me about how they were fighting and essentially the position they will left and by the commanders. i had no idea where to go, where the russians are or where the ukrainians are. was i was so thirsty as we had been moving on foot for the whole day. we've just been left by our command national commander. but if we had been told not to leave our positions, they said we'll be punished if we did so. but to remain there was just impossible. we've been shelled from all over from all sides. still go still coil among

you. we had no heavy weapons but only assault rifles. we weren't provided with anything but them and we've been shelled every day. literally every day. we had no chance to fight any one. instead we were just trying to survive. now this town of lucy chance is extremely important, as it is the last bastion of the ukrainian troops in the well, what used to be the low ganske region of ukraine and now is the la guns people's republic when the town falls. well, this would be the end of the ukrainian presence. here you go, guns, people's republic, and then the on sewer. the russian offensive, the joint russian offensive with the forces of the nets, people's republic, monday, august, republic. it will go onward and nobody knows where they will stop, but they're adamant that the the next republic will follow suit was russian troops advanced on lucy chanced. the france to news channel is going against the mainstream narrative, with his reports from the ground showing local residence, waiting for russian troops to enter the area. meeting. so says ed thought was, i,

i, you see shawn's seal am measurement d to 6 whiskey. 2, sir, can you bartalone back? they'll do the oil fork exact on law. mid report on the french channel shows people refusing to leave the city untreated, ukrainian troops with hostility. some locals even claimed it was the ukrainian army that deliberately targeted residential areas. journalists, chris on the and founder of don boss inside us as the semester media are changing than the coverage as people start to notice discrepancies between their narrative and events on the ground. big mainstream media. i are oblige at some point to tell the truth because people are in the huge. yeah. i mean what they were war in what we saw on the ground with the video proof. i have to see very few western media are present here now, and they're the ones we're here. there were several scandals because against it sir,

going against the narrative of the, the western countries which are supporting your brain was there supported you brain . they have to hide all the war crimes, old during korean soldiers, all the war. crimes of the you, christian newell not. but are you on? said the troy now to just keep us just national east or a beach for right. but not too much as a bit, we are seeing the same syntax that we have seen just of the, my dad i, when all the western countries. right. you are the real nature of the i don't, i'm really happy to see that my colleagues from crossing for decided to tell the truth. for once i. meanwhile, our crew visited the town of for past night in little ganske republic isn't a full control of russian forces, but ukrainian army continues to show the area. most of the civilian population has fled his ortiz roman casa with more. we have just answered that sound alpha papa.

now in the login's, the people's republic ukrainian positions are merely a kilometer away. that sound itself has been shelled continuously over the last 4 months. as you can see, it lies in ruins. there are homeless sun, know people here as a many have left to the nearby town of us that on of, and all i can see here, our military vehicles, military personnel, you can see the houses here are virtually all destroyed. mm hm. the city of papa now has been the free from the ukranian army for over a month already. however,

it still remains on the front line. civilian infrastructure continues to be targeted by the ukraine and military. shelley continues, now as we speak, it seems that ukraine want to destroy everything that they have left behind me was with them only to live middleton when we arrived here. we found that people were in terrible conditions where the more you can see for yourself. this is why we help people, but there aren't many of them still here in the course. there are 7 or 8 people living in this square where we are right now. all the other houses are abandoned just. this is a temporary residence for people who fled from pos man, which is under constant shelling, but the ukrainian artillery on a daily basis. we did bring some humanitarian aid to for them. and i've talked to a few of these refugees and they have truly horrifying stories to share that they did with the keyboard issue of the shelling was so strong that we lived in the

basement for 2 months. we also cooked in the basement, but our house was on fire. it was horrible to say that it was hell. doesn't even describe it both and the feel fell through the shelling of the house began in the past night when the ukrainians attack or you in our house caught fire, it burned down in 30 minutes. the neighbors helped me to go down to the basement, and we sat there for 20 days. everything burned down there. oh, possible, stay on, i was in papa naya when there were attacks and i was hiding in the basement. when i went out a rock, it fell next to me and fragment hit me in the knee. doctor said that there is no point in pulling it out as i will need a replacement. and this requires money, which i don't have a moving on. so the news now youtube has thoughts controversy over an ad running on the platform. it suggests that american men take quotes, what's those? and that's referring to ukrainian women are seized, maria financial reports you tube,

which is wage in its own battle by taking down tens of thousands of videos and channels related to the war in ukraine for violating content guidelines is nevertheless happy to run this and ad selling ukrainian women to american men. i hadn't heard from them. so what's the bottom just making side personal meetings and you have with speak english is important, right. the ad says that the current in women do not pay much attention to the age difference and have been raised to respect family and traditional values. showing women that send, well, a rather different message. he said that they had with the sound. right? sounds perfect, right?

the female narrator says to the camera at the end of the ad. so why wait, dare and take what is yours? the ad is not new, but it's running now at the time when thousands of you quinn and women arrive or are trying to get to the u. s. as refugees, they appeal to take what is yours, gets a completely new meaning and some fear can build the wrong impression to fleeing vulnerable female ukrainians. this is not the 1st time that you tube approves questionable material. peter files pornography women selling themselves with such controversial videos, continuing to be streamed by youtube that says it protects its viewers by filtering content. the question may be raised. maybe it's time to start controlling the controller. with the host carry, harrison says that youtube should be more transparent about who exactly is behind such advertising campaigns. util makes a fortune google alphabet. this is how they get rich advertising taking money for

it. they don't really care what's on or not unless there's a complaint, much like the federal communications commission, the absence in united states. you could say anything you want on the radio and television that's wire thunderously. do unless somebody complains. if they complain on the absence and follow up. so now there's been a complaint and youtube is forced to deal with it. but if nobody had complain, this could have gone on for a month. so what do we do? well, i think it, there ought to be a transparency where whoever buys the advertising, we all have to know who's paying for you see it and alcohol marshall's receipt of cannabis commercials. we see to political ads here, the united states, we find out who's paying for the advertising. so at least we can make an informed decision. i think that's the minimum standard that you to should have to deploy. so the, you and i know who's behind this campaign on the new head of the family youth and sports government departments in the city of had san,

which is under russian control, has been assassinated in a cobbling senior official. dmitri several jenko was killed instantly in the blast, and the local administration branded the incident an act of terror by ukraine. the city has seen a string of assassination at times on newly appointed local officials, which are being blamed on so called resistance movements. this comes as ukrainian defense forces have been posting videos of the new military equipments online. ah, now what you're seeing here is a rocket launch. the key of says was taken from a down to helicopter, mounted on a pickup truck to be used against russian forces. such vehicles are used widely by malicious in conflicts all over the middle east as improvised rockets launcher systems. we got a reaction from former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter. ukrainian government is made no secret that they will seek to

carry out acts of this nature. terrorism is universal, so it's not just in the middle east. it's, you know, these, these are tactics has been used anywhere where you have an anti social elements seeking to inflict harm on the powers that be and think, you know, you know, as civilians of this nature, it's murder, it's terrorism. and it's, it's also an indication that this is pretty much the limit to what the credit you can do at this point. time limit acted limited actions of targeted murder. this isn't widespread resistance, at least not yet. we see now that what they're left with is actually terrorism and acts of desperation. i mean putting rocket launcher from a down helicopter on the back of a pickup truck isn't. is not the kind of action you expect for me for a winning side. so i think, you know,

this is what the ukranian to reduce to and it's an indication that things are not going well for them. iran has ordered washington to pay a multi $1000000000.00 compensation package for the assassinations of the countries nuclear scientists in recent years. that's according to a p. the 55th civil court of tron, ordered the u. s. government institutions and officials who supported israel, which committed the crime of assassinating nuclear experts in violation of international obligations to pay $4300000000.00 in pecuniary and non pecuniary damages. for iranian scientists have been killed between 20102012 or the latest murder of a top nuclear sciences happened just so recently as 2020 iran's blamed israel for the numerous killings of its scientists. but as israel is not recognized by iran, other states, they have never demanded any compensation directly from them. the u. s. has been accused by iran for support of israel as a whole, and it was partly responsible for the crimes. no,

the tensions have been running high between iran and the u. s. emitted deadlock in talks between tara and will power to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. washington withdrew from the joint comprehensive plan of action back in 2018 and has since imposed waves of sanctions on these limit republic. we discussed the matter with political analysts and researcher christopher halle who believes that iran is infuriating the west with his independent policy. certainly there's a level of symbolism here and it's also symbolic in the sense that it continues to show that iran will not house out watching in, nor to, to love you. it will have its own path. it has its self determination, it has its sovereignty, and that's what makes you run such a thorn in the side of the west. the fact that iran with its own government and own evolution will not abide by the west and through the j. c. p. o. 8,

when the trump administration unilaterally withdrew, and when maximum pressure was put on the iranian government, coupled with the assassination of the general sort of money. and of course the nuclear scientists, including most most in factories out there. i think now we're seeing that as the talk stall for the j. c, p o, a and the u. s. is just putting a lot of pressure on the u. s. and other countries i think you run is being firm and it's commitment to it's red lines that it will not tolerate. you know, to say yes and is really aggression. if they don't abide completely and reduce it, you know, the pressure on iran and withdraw all distinctions. so you don't know if you're doing what it, what it sees is just to defend itself. ah, the question of imposing a 7th package of sanctions on russia appears to have split western allies. while the u. s. insist new sanctions will bring an end to the conflict. so in europe seriously doubt the effectiveness of the move raising the costs on russia to bring

the war to an end more swiftly through unprecedented sanctions and export controls . right now what we experience is that the more sanctions we accept, the worse shape we are in and the russians. yes, it hurts them as well, but they survive. and what is even worse, they proceed in ukraine. so we have to think about something, negotiations, ceasefire, peace, diplomacy, that's our solution. a differing of opinions on how to resolve. the conflict comes amid an energy crisis, which is growing in europe. several states that have are preparing urgent measures in preparation for gas shortages that may materialize later this year. this follows gulf farms need to cut supplies, go into germany by the north stream. one pipeline capacity in the line was reduced by 40 percent due to repaired equipment, been stuck in canada because of russian sanctions. i'll see that show davinsky picks up the story. and almighty gas storm is brewing and it's about to hit the new

members of the block or in a race against time to pump up their reserves to 80 percent in a bid to survive this winter. it comes as the chief of the international energy agency warns russia may totally turn off the taps the near. we're coming to winter, the more we understand rushes intentions. i believe the cuts are geared towards preventing europe filling its storage and increasing brushes leverage in the winter months. contingency measures are needed so that countries can adapt. he said with, even before they can be put in place, some you members are feeling more than a little gas doubt. as germany trick is the alarm stage of its emergency gas plan. business morale is slumping one, so they showed confidence towards future activity was at its lowest since the 1st wave of the cobit pandemic. another outline, sentiment clouding, over and fears of a recession. stagflation for the rest of the year remains our base case scenario

for the german economy and an outright recession. is our risk scenario? germany is not the only one sounding the alarm bell, sweden, denmark, austria, and the netherlands of all activated emergency plans to berlin. the keys in moscow of playing with fire, who must not fool ourselves. the cotton guest supplies is an economic attack on asked by puttin from now on. yes, is a scarce commodity in germany. we are therefore now obliged to reduce gas consumption. now already in summer, rush denies its reducing gas flows as part of a political game thing. sanctions have caused maintenance issues. although supplies have also been cut to countries that refused to pay in roubles. the ear says a dozen member states have been hit. that's almost half of the block. so what does moscow have to gain here? moscow is trying to play divide and rule. the kremlin wants to increase its

leverage over europe ahead of the winter and any eventual settlements in ukraine. the benchmark price of gas is already up 300 percent compared to a year ago. if energy prices continue to saw, it's feared that combined with i watering. inflation may chip away at public support for the e. u. continuing to bankroll ukraine's war effort, while the e. u has made a big song and dance lad, ending its reliance on russian gas. it is far from being able to achieve that. and though with some countries such as the baltic states have urged the union to rip the band aid off and deal with the consequences. it's clear that when that's happening in reality, nobody is having a real gas. the german foreign minister has accused russia of destabilizing the global economy by manipulating grey no sports. that was doing a joint conference with u. s. secretary of states at the start of the g 7 summit.

russia is waging a cynical grain more using it as a tool to make food prices skyrocket and destabilize entire countries. but according to the russian president, there are no obstacles on russia's part to ukrainian green exports. as despite western accusations, president putin also states that the country is ready to supply 50000000 tons of grain to grow markets this year is also in the of the day where seen a deliberately inflated hysteria over the termination of ukrainian grain expos, through the plexi port i would once again like to stress that russia doesn't create any obstacles to transport the grain from ukraine and he's ready to provide the free passage of ships carrying grain to international waters. we have a mutual understanding here with the un, but we still lacking constructive approach from the key of authorities. with outcomes as unicef is wanting to close to 8000000 children in 15 countries are risk of death from starvation. the fund is now appealing for $1200000000.00 from the international community to deliver an essential aid package of food on care to meet

those urgent needs. speaking to archie, the head of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies. there's that the world focus has moved away from the hunger emergency that's happening right now. humanitarian age and i've been there, you will want it to be fairly distributed. what we do know is that that's not the case. if i look at my continents, and we've been shouting the hunger crisis by a few months now, and this situation is going to get was where seen that the a we need is not get in. we're seeing that are the regions i get in the focus and not to say that one humanitarian situation is more better or worse. a one person is that all was off in terms of getting the aid. but what we are saying is that, that is not getting always to the people that need it the most. and on the continent that i represent, we see lots a lots of hunger and lots of malnutrition as well in the communities. i mean can year where i am at the moment,

the money tricia and has doubled in the last 2 months. and while unicef is asking for just over a $1000000000.00 for the hunger crisis, the use as it is ready to give you credit over 7 times at the moment is $9000000000.00 euros in low interest loans to aid the countries postwar reconstruction. the go reaction to the figures from the african national congress youth league head, who believes the constant for money to care because the bus going elsewhere well, how about does not start to be if we wanted to end? well, honda, the united nations would have taken the 40000000000 just bought a package of military weapons and given it to people who are starving instead of sending food to people throughout the world, their sending weapons to clean so that those web ones can be could to you can be used to kill people who are protecting me, which is the people of russia. we think that before we can even begin to imagine to

accuse russia we must entitle, keeps the current accessibility of weld. honda is done by the fact that we just went out of coffee, in fact, be dealing with coffee. so we should not to utilize was hired as a whole, you know, demean, the legitimate struggle of the russian people. ah, louse has become the 2nd south east asian country this year after shall anchor, that is unable to pay its foreign debts. the country with dwindling cash reserves and surging inflation finds itself on the brink of defaults, as the countries foreign debts climes to $13000000000.00. spiking petrol prices and fuel shortages are the latest indicators of economic distress caused by elevated oil prices under plunging currency. the u. s is raised interest rates. local currency in the country has weakened, making imports more expensive for developing countries with dollar denominated debt

. earlier we spoke to mitch philistine investment manager and author of punnet ponzi. he was convinced that the problem of foreign debts across the world has to be resolved and the more defaults are allotted to come. whenever you have an economy that, that isn't in a recession, i think we're in a global recession. now we have 20 percent inflation, which is making food prices go up. oil prices are at 2 year highs. pretty much so that is going to cause and the kink in the supply chains is going to make prices go up even higher, which causes the recession to get even worse. the debt in the emerging markets, a dollar denominated. when the dollar gets stronger, it's more difficult to repay, especially when you have a local currency that's being debased by inflation. so that's what exasperate makes the problem exponentially worse. so i think that the debt has to be cleared. we've got to she bankruptcies across the board to clear out the absolutely horrendous

amounts of debt. i mean the debt to g p, the japan has and just watch japan. japan is the model. they're going to be the 1st ones to go because their debt to g p is probably, or the real number is probably around 300 percent. so that's why their currency is, has dropped about 23 percent. and the bond market is about to explode. now the, the smaller asian countries can't do that, but the bigger ones have been doing this ponzi scheme for 10 years or so, or more. so now it's about time to pay the piper for what they've been doing for the reckless money printing that's been going on for more than a decade. and finally, china's welcome to new paul's decision not to move ahead with a security partnership with us, beijing's that he's supposed to south asian nation and hold. and it's solvency, independence and territorial integrity. various political parties and factions, the government, the army and people across the nepalese society see the state partnership program

as a military and security initiative closed linked to the india pacific strategy. and they consider it against the national interests of nipple and it's long held none aligned, balanced foreign policy to be part of the state partnership program. come undo, abandon plans to join the u. s. state partnership program, or s p p on monday. the 1st applied back in 2015, but washington only sensitive request for years later critic fit membership jeopardize the country sovereignty. while a lead letter showed nepalese army had been seeking a military partnership with america. and that's something that played into existing concerns about the s p p being a de facto military alliance. the u. s. embassy, though, claims the document was fake, saying the program had the humanitarian focus. the state partnership program is not and has not ever been a security or military alliance. the united states is not seeking a military alliance with newbrough. there is no proposed s p t agreement with natal . the state partnership program was settled back in the 90s to pair the former

soviet bloc countries with the national guard in u. s. states. and now it includes partnerships with $93.00 countries. the scheme aims to share expertise in suckling natural disasters, but also covers county terrorism. counter terrorism training, opponents claim falls intention to join with tons amount to renouncing the countries long held non aligned foreign policy. china affairs specialist big to gal believes the u. s. was trying to play political games against china by getting the paul to join the partnership. first of all, in the very beginning, fully united states try to enter such partnership agreement with new pow is starting on the wrong foot. mainly because new power is a landlord, country caught up between india to its south and china to the north india and the power relations and china. the power relations have been very, very good. over the centuries i seek, the united states was very best guided, imovie into the pow tried to play its political game against china. so

if it is disillusioned, i think they deserve it going forward. if the united states want to spend more to really help them nipponese people to build up or it's connectivity ah, cyber connectivity banking connectivity, poverty of really asian said help. but more schools, i think nepalese people will welcomed that china will be very open minded. what we got against is doc calibration. what we got against is to use their pollies as a pong to achieve the americas jewel, political dirt. he goals that is tried to detain china and derail china's peaceful development. i saw there was looking at 6 30 am moscow time this saturday morning. i'm peter scott's on the back again with another look at today's biggest stories in about half an hour to mine.

ah, ah ah ah ah ah.
