hello, bob, less protected phone existence with a says take full control of 7 are done yet, including the as all the chemical plants move came after ukrainian troops were ordered to withdraw from the area all talk and no action, thousands gather in protest against what they call the d 7 empty promises all economic development. also posing nato's involvement in the war, ukraine. we're totally against this war escalating framed. we had a great fear that noodle will openly intervene, and unfortunately, it is already doing so. this europe starts to tap into is with all additional functions. policies are having a blow back with

a late sunday morning here in the russian capital. mine is peter scott, and here's how the world's news looks this past week on the international post of 1st it's on the latest developments in the war and ukraine. the city of several 1000 yes, is now under the full control of little guns. republics, armed forces after ukrainian forces were ordered to withdraw. that includes the chemical plants where key of troops had been, again, hundreds of civilians that were trucks in the area now being evacuated. to safe zones. and the announcement comes amid reports that russian lead forces have entered the city of lucy chance amid incense fighting. as you can clearly see here on this map, guns forces have blocked the ukranian army from the north, or the latest advances of russian troops have taken the southern front. as you couldn't choose, withdraw eager is done of towards the fortifications they left in the area. with

the special forces of the russian army, we are right now moving towards the positions quite recently captured from the ukrainian troops. and we're about to see the fortifications that they have both directed and dug into the ground. well, over the past 8 years, and we're about to see what's left of them after the work of the russian artillery jets and well infantry. ah, i don't care when you are not as good as this was mute on him, yet crunches deep enough to safely shelter a man of average height sprout across the area and had concrete laden fortifications. we find western supplied weapons ukrainian troops abandoned in a hurry, as they fled, logo as well to sec visitor. this is a permanent fortification. if we go inside, we can see the reinforce doors. they are made of thick steel with sand inside.

going further, we see another door of the same type and these are the firing positions. each of them has its own zone. these windows are reinforced as well with thick steel as we saw before. on the inside here, the position is draped with as best as sir cannot catch fire. and this is how the same firing position, which you have just seen from the inside, looks from the outside. there's extra protection in the front, on the sides as well. you don't have to be a military expert to see that it takes a lot of firepower to will overcome and kick the forces out of a fortification like this one. ah, and these are the remains of a cluster munition that the ukrainian force is used against their former own abandoned well of fortifications. these type of munition is bound to pretty much all over the world. as we explore this labyrinth, we a disturbing discovery,

the ukrainian positions are spidering across the fields here in all directions. and if they need to establish something like this, a command center, any place is good enough. even the cemetery, there's no red lines, it seems bulky. forces in the swarm ethics is expendable decency is in excess. i mean there's done of reporting from the don bass c. meanwhile in the next republic, capital, the city center has been shelled by ukrainian forces. as a result, civilian infrastructure was damaged but no casualties reported the shelling of residential areas in daniel cars intensified since the war in ukraine begun. our correspondent, roman quarter of early discuss the rise in civilian casualties with one castell, a french army vets. you joined the daniel republic forces back in 2015. what made you decide to come here to the next? don't bonacre's you do. when i was living in europe, i followed the european news agenda. i saw what was happening in our countries and

upset me. and when my dad began, i'd say it's what these events closely. i realized that not everything that was happening on my damn was ukraine's will. it was american politics. it was not the people of ukraine. it was american politicians who wanted to interfere in ukrainian affairs and change something. i did not imagine there would be such victims on my that i began to notice that nazis and ukraine were being supported by europe. i did not think that after the end, the world war 2, europe would support nazis who openly show that beliefs. and then people started being killed in odessa who, hans, and don't ask. and i decided to come and see everything with my own eyes. well, to miss you while a you and i were speaking. yeah. another 3 people have been killed by ukrainian artillery in the nest. why is ukraine terrorizing and targeting civilians? civilians who still refused to evacuate, refused to leave the city of the next. i do new york bug objective when there is

a war when someone hits the military infrastructure, there are always civilian victims, but the central finance is not part of the front line. and when they constantly hit the civilian infrastructure, there was heavy weapons. it should be cold terrorism. this is what ukraine has been doing for 8 years. when every single day there are victims among civilians. it can only be called a terrorist state. they have a 155 millimeter caliber artillery. so many systems of those that france handed over to crane, and this is what they are hitting civilians with an addition at the same time. president micron says that he wants the issue to be resolved peacefully, that it is necessary to conduct peaceful dialogue. but how can such dialogue be conducted? the fee himself gives weapons that kill normal people. they just want to create a war until the last ukrainian remains. this decision was made by the u. s. with the help of europe against russia. the u. s. want to weaken both russia and the european union, and now they are killing 2 birds with one stone. this war is only beneficial to washington,

as they are trying to weaken to powers that can create competition for them. so germany is hosting the g 7 group of nation summit. and while climate change, food security and economic development are on the agenda, the war in ukraine, of course, and a joint strategy of army cube is likely to dominate those talks. you case, the prime minister boys johnson has encouraged the group to increase support for ukraine. in a speech he posted on line in advance. ukraine can win and it will win, but the needs are back in to do so. now is not the time to give up on ukraine. the united kingdom will continue to back ukraine every step of the way, because we know that there security is our security. meanwhile, thousands in germany frustrated by g 7. policy have poured on to the streets claim in there is a lot of talk, but no action on issues like climate change. while some fair nato is too close to the conflicts with his members already supplying arms directly. elbow available, just don't scope it. i work with the resistance group because we are totally

against this war, escalating an ukraine. we had a great fear that nato will openly intervene and unfortunately it is already doing so with arms deliveries. it is an objective intervention by nato, and we do not know how exactly it will escalate. we must therefore take decisive action against this threat of war and the regular one north and the g 7 have a huge climate that they are by far the leading contributors to the climate crisis . not only in emissions, but also in their impact through colonialism. and in slave men of most of the world, i guess around a difficult situation. first because of the chrome or panoramic now because of the ukraine crisis and cry. not to speak of the crisis every random. but i think i have to take a leadership role now, and i don't see that happening ah major process. how to munich? i've seen at least 9 arrests, hundreds more protested against applying arms to kiev,

joined an anti war rally in ramstein. the city with the largest u. s. military base in europe, as well as questioning the conflicts in ukraine protest as origin increased efforts in the global fight against climate change and hunger ortiz flavio vaughan v. it's lee been followed. the unfolding protests is still western civilization about to decline. that's what many demonstrators are claiming here. on the this years, demonstrations against the t 7 meeting that takes place on the castle of elmo in the barbarian out. today we have around $2.00 to $3000.00 demonstrators. here in the city center of munich, who at demand a would throw wall form fossil energy. they also against imperialism, and again, deliveries of weapons to the ukraine. and he has been invited as a special guest, participants ant sundays meeting of the g 7 group of leading world economies. the

move is the latest attempt by western states to drive a wedge between new delhi and moscow amid the conflict in ukraine. is archie contributor article from the indian capital run in the movie is attending the g 7 summit on june $26.27 in germany ad b indication off. germany's chancellor la shows ransom will be on the sidelines of the summit, is going to hold bilateral meetings with some of the leaders of the participating countries. chancellor shows invitation to the brands to more be to join the g. 7 summit is part of germany's efforts to be from russia in the backdrop of the war in india has

so far maintained a new dance because of its longstanding strategic partnership and security dies. big. russia has also asked broad end off, hostile dees, and has aggregated, di know, and diplomacy. somalia is starving to death before our eyes, thus the stalk warning. the winds issued to g. 7. leaders ahead of us on this weekend is that only a massive and immediate increase in funds can stop the country from descending into a catastrophe. caused by a great humming smolley is just one part of next tentative crisis unfolding on the african continent. despite a global appeal for ethiopia, south sedan and somalia trucks in pledges of $6000000000.00, un says only 3 percent of those funds have actually been received. unit f is also wanting, that's almost 8000000 children across 15 countries arch risk of death from starvation . and in

a bit to tackle the few crises in africa that you has pledged an additional humanitarian package, but his estimated to be much less than europe is providing for ukraine. with more how the funding is dry, not his policy. yeah. i'm a good spot to come to the waste of johannesburg, where when he typically doesn't have a job and wanting for people like the rest of africa, is patient insecurity. maybe 15000000 children are mom on this continent. now to find family in the last year, european union spend $1800000000.00. compare this with $4300000000.00. more than twice that number, that the e u has spent in ukraine in just the last 2 months. the foreign policy chief joseph borrow accuses the russian president vladimir putin of a deliberate attempt to create hunger in the world in order to push it on the eve to lift sanctions. one can not imagine that millions of tons of wheat remained

walking. ukraine wasn't the rest of the world. people are suffering hunger. this is a real war crime. 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 sanction who is creating crisis. our sanctions target don't out of this was july. african leaders disagree, the chairman of the african union court on brussels to provide relief for important cereals and fertilizers. it is aggravated by european sanctions on the method of payment. we want to pay, but it comes in possible. so we are asking the europeans for the same mechanism as for gas and oil. so far that coal has fallen on deaf is fall in the sanctions when

russia are not with one simple will be global through crisis. and then african countries not any special concessions. try killing that to people who live here. way food is case and becoming more so. policy on t. 100. we spoke to political and economic analyst, uncle new york, who says it's critical to africa receives urgent food assistance in order to avert hunger. burt brandon africa has to be on number one, emergency food assistance. i can help burnable people in refugee camps and ibp cams and i've been displaced due to conflicts number to helping some people are. and they get access to funding and assistance in order to improve agricultural yields and ensure that they are able to provide for themselves. because it is one thing to provide humanitarian,

but also you need give up for people to help them support them. africa has the potential to become a good economic powerhouse within the world is given the opportunity providers and the west plains, russia for the food crisis. but the countries leader has hit back. those accusations, brush or is waging a cynical grain more using it is a tool to make see prices skyrocket and destabilize entire countries. nothing is preventing food and fertilizer from leaving russia. and only one country is blocking food and fertilizer from leaving ukraine. and that is russia is austin. of today, where cna deliberately inflated hysteria over the termination of ukrainian grain expos through the plexi ports. 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 lack of constructive approach from the key of authorities. well

speaking to r t, the head of the international federation of red cross and red crescent society. his 1st that world focus has moved away from the hunger emergency that's happening right now. humanitarian age and i've been in the ideal, well, just wanted 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 boy a few months now, and this situation is going to get was where seen that the a we need is not get in. where seen that are the regions, i guess in the focus and not to say that one. humanity in situation is more better or worse. a one person is that's all work off in terms of getting the aid. but what we are saying is that, that a does not get in always to the people that need it the most on the continent that i represent wasting children that are starving with people that are also dying because of them, of no lack of food. and so the situation is really dire,

we're saying that more focus needs to be given to the continent so that at least humanitarian workers like us, our new military organization abroad can really step up in terms of getting up our action was western eyes debates, a 7th until russian package of sanctions, europe is already eaten into its winds. augustus is over so many you politicians have acknowledged that their own functions. policies are having a blowback effect where urging member states to ramp up investment and renewables. ireland doesn't rely on gas from russia, but relies on gas from other places. but if the overall market is disturbed, which it is both by rush his own actions and indeed by our sanctions, then there are consequences around availability. right now what we experience is that the more sanctions we accept the worst 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. we must and we will do everything we can to store as much gas as possible in the summer and fall. gas consumption must continue to fall. some more gas must be stored in storage, otherwise things will get really tight in winter. lee commission, presidents, us live on the land proposed to own energy saving plan, st lowing thermostats by 2 degrees in every european household would be an effective step in replacing gas supplies. coming from the node stream one pipeline . all t contributor rachel mazda offers her take on the energy crisis. mounting on the european continent. european union to connie was an airplane. it was just, you know, cruising along when the folks in charge suddenly cut the gas, say, take that to gin and now their nose diving and mapping, mashing, all the buttons on the control panel trying to figure out how to see themselves. and that reality is now spilling out into the open. they're basically telling the passengers, you know, those of us living here in the u. n. are just on the ride that they have lost

control. may read mcginnis that you commissioner for financial stability like wow, she has the task ahead of her. judging by that job description, just said that the e was looking at increasing investment in renewables. yes or no. she got the memo, but germany use big renewable energy champion is urgently going back to cool because of this self inflicted energy crunch. mcginnis also said we enter january not realizing that by february we would really be alarmed about our lack of resilience when it comes to energy. and she added that we rely on russian fossil fuels. so we're looking for alternative supplies. and so basically, these folks didn't even make sure that they had their own oxygen mask on to insure their own economic survival before rushing to assist ukraine and taking the rush dependent, you energy market with their own sections. meanwhile, canada use close ally is also trying to find a way around its own sanctions against russia's gas from so that it can get some

nord stream pipeline to revise that would be repaired in montreal, back to scenes energy company in germany under its own sanctions. canada won't allow itself to provide any components that could be used in the gas from pipeline . in the meantime, gas promise either typically reduce gas loads, germany, sparking talk of the potential energy urgency. so by sticking it to put in, canada has also talk it to a close ally, germany. so it's no wonder that yen plus nor foreign policy adviser to chancellor. well, i'm sure. now i see why germany future relationship with russia isn't being discussed as much as german weapons or ukraine. you can fill many newspaper pages with 20 margins, but there are fewer, larger articles about how our relationship with russia will be in the future. you would just been so upset with ukraine, but it's now trying to figure out a way out of its own self. and you can, you know, all i can say, let's just hope that they figure it all out and come to their senses before all

monsieur crush. meanwhile, versus 2nd largest stock exchange is announced, plans to offer clients cross board of trade in with the chinese territory of hong kong. nothing comes. russia's oil exports to china, sword by a record, 55 percent compared to last year. almost $2000000.00 barrels per day are being transported via siberia, pacific ocean pipeline, which has now overtaken saudi arabia as beijing leading oil supplier. when demand for oil in china rose after koby restrictions were softened, easing logistical problems and allowing industrial production to rebound benjamin shower professor, paris school of technology business. and he says there will be plenty of buys of russian energy in the long term. for countries like china and india dramatically increasing their imports from russia. and since demand is negatively related to prices. so as long as we'll show you selling at a sufficiently low price to east, it's gonna absorb all the energy products there were supposed to be exported to

rule in the middle to longer term the current sanctions against russia and the disruption of supply. some ukraine create serious energy and crops shortage, and expectations on saturday as well. and thus we are the stink historic integration in decades. thought that the europe relies on russia for nearly 40 percent off in natural gas and 25 percent office is by all means that it is not possible to remove europeans need of russian oil and gas in the near term. in the news, the european council this week has grunted candidate status for ukraine, and politicians say this, this remarks a historic day for both parties is a defining moment and a very good day for europe. i think this is a moment of great satisfaction. it hasn't though, been a smooth ride. 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 gave me the activities of those politicians aimed at the vision 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 and reaching the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for protection of minorities. but even loan delane has admitted ukraine will have to pull out all of the stops if it's to reach the final destination. as an e. u. member. other members of the block agree, this could be

a very long way off. you 72. we all know perfectly well the, the process to allow ukraine to join would take several years. indeed, probably several decades from before. then granted, you candidate status to ukraine is a symbolic decision. accession to the blog will require huge reforms and time if you crane can fulfill the very long list of requirements. the dream of becoming a member of the you could still be just fat, becoming a candid, it may signal the intention, but it's certainly no guarantee to officially answer the you, ukraine will need unanimous approval of his member states with each having veto power over new membership. ukraine now joins are the candidates on the list of states who have been waiting on approval for years or even decades. in some cases. over present, zalinski says ukraine deserves the rights and the block even though some politicians want. it may not be any time soon. mckesson premium,

we say ukraine has been granted e u. candidate status. let's say ukraine has gained you candidate status. did it fall from the sky? haven't we endured and done a lot today we are focusing on 70 you requirements. yes, it's true. what does it scare us? no, because before that we have successfully fulfilled hundreds, north. macedonia has been a candidate for 17 years. if i have not lost count, albania has been one for 8 years. so welcome to ukraine. you cram became a candidate for membership despite noncompliance with the standards that the balkan country. so diligently apply. if participation in the war was enough to start negotiations, i can't imagine what will be needed for completing the admission procedure or the longest wait in candidates in turkey. whose bed is still on hold amid human rights concerns. let's despise and kara, being a long term ally of the block on key issues, including the migrant crisis caused by the syrian war. the country president believes turkeys a session should be encouraged. as he states,

the ukrainian crisis has reasserted the strategic importance of turkey for the you . over the you commission president says that turkish membership is now even less likely than before. turkey today is further away than it was in 1099. the accession process is merit based and therefore it is very much in the hands of the applicant country. a physical scientist. we spoke to believe that attempts to join the you currently contradict the current geopolitical interest of turkey. i can say that it was a political, economic, and geopolitical mistake that turkish governments want to join the european union. and today this fact is revealed once again, it's wanting to have an quote relation, a european countries. but it's another think to, to be a country that europe try to use against against asia against russia, iraq,

against iran, and today, turkish national interest and also church nation. and this has never required being a part of the european union, because turkey is not just that european country, but turkey is a euro, asian country. so i mean, if you look to the map, you will see that one part of turkeys in europe and the other part of george's in asia to stay in the gates. a gateway of europe in to rates is not there today. the turkish, it isn't a national interest. and finally, the us attorney general has visited ukraine to establish an american effort to help here find a prosecutor. those responsible for war crimes are these. manila chun explores the history of u. s. military involvement in a legit war crimes i states is sending an unmistakable message. there is no place to hide. we will, we and our partners will pursue every avenue available to make sure that those were

responsible for these atrocities are held. garland has tapped veteran d o, j prosecutor, eli rosenbaum, to lead the department new war crimes accountability team who will be tasked with coordinating efforts with ukrainian officials and other international law enforcement groups. now the. 6 irony in this appointment rosenbaum is known as the nazi hunter. i properly don't need to explain why that's ironic, given the known position of ukraine's is off battalion. but nonetheless, the u. s. has a long history of what the international community has called war crimes and is certainly not in the position to point any fingers given america's foreign policy appears to be that of any action with full impunity. you can go as far back as the 19th sixty's when the u. s. blanketed the tiny southeast asian country of laos, with bombs, that averages out to nearly drops every 8 minutes for 24 hours

a day for nearly a full decade, killing thousands of innocent civilians. 2 of those, my own family members are and more recent memory of visceral one. the 2007 video depicting american apache helicopter gunners shooting down and killing nearly a dozen iraqi civilians then in 2017 as the us and coalition forces ramped up their campaign against isis in rock assyria. the so called capital of the caliphate. that city of some 300000 residence was decimated by western bombs. a 2018 report by amnesty international outlines. the 10s of thousands of coalition strikes on rocca with mission by the west, to unleashing some 30000 artillery rounds. amnesty international said this in their report. there is strong evidence that coalition air and artillery strikes,

killed and injured thousands of civilians, including and disproportionate or indiscriminate attacks that violated international humanitarian law. and our potential war crimes would be abundance of evidence of us. more crimes across the globe throughout the 20th century. isn't at all reasonable for the us attorney general to call the actions of any other country . a war crime. hypocrisy is bipartisan here in the u. s. capital in washington, manila, cham for the u. s. marine and political commentator john mark, do good. who recently returned from the don bus, has these reservations about the investigation? i don't know whether to laugh or whether to be outraged, but the very thought that the united states who's killed hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians since the since the start of the 1st gulf war could ever engage in some kind of war.
