blue a with forces take full control of several done yet, including the adults chemical plants move came after ukrainian troops were ordered to withdraw from the area. with all talk and no action, thousands got the immunity protest against what they call the g 7th. empty promises of economic development, also opposing nato's involvement in the war. ukraine. we're totally against this war, escalating an ukraine. we had a great fear that natal will open the intervene and unfortunately it was already doing so. under europe start to tap into winter gas reserves. so the politicians,

the, the functions policies having a blow back with am on sunday morning here in the russian capital. i'm p just got bringing you a rundown of this week's main use on our international and we start off with the latest on the war in ukraine. the city of $7000.00 yes, is now under the full control of the guns. republics, armed forces, as after ukrainian forces, were ordered to withdraw. it includes the chemical plant where key of troops had been, again, hundreds of civilians that were trucks in the area are now being evacuated to safety zones. nelson comes amid reports that russian lead forces have entered the city of lifted chunks, commit intense fi. think as you can clearly see here on this map, lou guns forces have blocked the ukrainian army from the north. while the latest advances of russian troops have taken the southern front as ukrainian to withdraw

eager donald 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 trenches deep enough to safely shelter a man of average height sprout across the area. amid concrete laden fortifications, we find western supplied weapons ukrainian troops abandoned in a hurry as they fled, logo as well. does that 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 here, 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 his best. if 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 and the swarm ethics is expendable decency is in excess. i mean there's done of reporting from the don bass c a while in the den. yes, cripple, base capital. the city center has been shelled by ukrainian forces as a result, civilian infrastructure was damaged, but no casualties reported the shilling of residential areas in done it has intensified since the war ukraine begun. all corresponded from the course of earlier discuss the rise in civilian casualties with one castell, a french army that's who joined the finance 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 country as a zoom. when my down began, i thought it's what these events closely. i realized that not everything that was happening on my damn was in cranes. well, it was american politics. it was not the people of ukraine. it was american politicians. you wanted to interfere and ukrainian affairs and change something. i did not imagine they would be such a victims on my dad to work up, begun to notice that not teasing ukraine will being supported by euro. i didn't think the last that in the world war 2 euros or nazi was who openly show that believe that and then people started being hello, nasa is your hands and don't ask them. and i decided to come see everything with my own eyes welder, miss you while you are and i were speaking and another 3 people have been killed by ukrainian artillery internet. why is ukraine terrorizing and targeting civilians? civilians who still refused to evacuate,

refused to leave the city of the next. i don't. yes, good yet. bug object. teach me when there is a war. when someone hits the military infrastructure, they're 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 and it should be cold terrorism. this is what ukraine has been doing for 8 years. when every single day there are victims among civilians, they can only be called a terrorist state. the gap will pay a $155.00 millimeter caliber artillery, so many systems of those that france handed over to ukraine, and this is what they are hitting civilians will. in addition, at the same time, president micron says that he wants the issue to be resolved peacefully or more than it is necessary to conduct peaceful dialogue. but how can such dialogue we can talk to the fam self gives wetness, the hill, normal people. yeah, they just want to create a war until the last ukrainian remains on this decision was made by the u. s. what the hell of europe do against russia. the u. s. want to weaken both russia and the european union, and now they are killing to,

with one stone in this war is only beneficial to washington. so they're trying to, we can to power. they can create competition for them to war. so germany is hosting the g 7 group of nation summit and while climate change, food security and economic developments are on the agenda, warn ukraine and a joint strategy of arming q. it's a dominates, those talks u. k prime minister boys johnson has encouraged the group to increase support for ukraine and a speech he posted online 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. we allow thousands in germany frustrated by g 7 policy have poured on to the streets, claiming there's lots of talk, but no action on issues like climate change. while some very nato is too close to the conflicts with its 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 the ukraine. we had a great fear that natal will openly intervene and unfortunately it is already very subtle with arms deliveries. idaho is an objective intervention by nato, and we do not know how exactly will escalate law. we must therefore take decisive action against this thread. a regular will north and d 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 enslavement of most of the world. i guess around a difficult situation 1st because of the crow pandemic now because of the ukraine crisis and cry. not to speak of the crisis away. but i think i have to take a leadership role now and i don't see that happening ah, for me to protest, held in unique have seen at least 9 arrests,

hundreds more protested against applying arms to care of joined an anti war rally in ramstein. the city with the largest u. s. military base in europe, as well as questioning the conflict in ukraine. protesters origin increased efforts in the global fight against hunger and climate change arts ease of flavio vaughn. this li been follows the unfolding protests, ecier, western civilization about to decline. that's what many demonstrators are claiming here on that this year's demonstrations against the t 7 meeting that takes place on the castle of elmo in the barbarian out. today we have around 2 to 3000 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. india has been invited as

a special guest participants at sundays meeting of the g 7 group of world leading economies. the move is the latest attempt by western states to drive a wedge between new delhi and moscow amid the ukraine. conflicts is archie contrary to archie, ticket from the indian capital? ran mister named moore. b is attending the g 7 summit on june 26 and 27 in germany. ad b invitation off job release. john loft. bannister will be on the sidelines of the summit. is going to buy out 2 meetings with some of the leaders of the speaking countries. john slow shows, invitation to the grabbing some movie to join the g 7 from it is part of japanese efforts to base russia in the backdrop of

the was in india has to maintain a new jobs because of a long standing strategic partnership. and european di wade, russia has also asked for a cross duty and has gated dialogue on diplomacy. somalia is starving to death before eyes. that's the stark warning of un issued the g 7 lead the head of the summit this weekend is that there's only a massive, an immediate increase in funds can stop the country from descending into a catastrophe, caused by great famine. smell is just one part of an extensive crisis unfolding on the african continent. despite the global appeal for if you're self done on somalia, charging pledges of $6000000000.00. the u. n says only 3 percent of those funds have actually been received. units f is also warning that's almost 8000000 children

across 15 countries are at risk of starvation. and in a bit tackled the food crisis in africa. the e. u has pledged an additional humanitarian package, but these estimated to be much less than europe is providing for ukraine. with more on how the funding is drawn up, his offseason policy, a i spotted him to the waist of to his bed. 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 managed on this continent. now to fight famine in the last year, european union spend $1800000000.00. compare this 4 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 or chooses 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 the sanctions. one can not imagine that the millions of tons of wheat remain block ukraine. you are the director who will pull her suffering hunger pieces that really walk right. but in africa, 12 people die upon get if weak 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 coming to be in the sanction. sure is creating 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 is boiling, so that the sanctions on russia are not responsible for the global from crisis. and an african countries should not gain any special stations. trying to think that to people who live here way food is case and becoming more so policy on t. 100. we spoke to political and economic on the list. i called new york who says it's critical africa received urgent food assistance in order to a hunger and a bird pan in africa. i've been, the focus has to be on number one, emergency food assistance, can help people in refugee camps and id. and people have 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 assistance. but also you need to give up for people to help them support them. africa has the potential to become a good economic powerhouse within the world, given the opportunity and provided for us on the west flames. russia for the food crisis for the countries leader has hit the back of those accusations. russia is waging a cynical grain war using it as a tool to make food 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. today we are seeing a deliberately inflated theory, our determination of ukrainian grain, x reflects the poles. i would once again like to stress that russia doesn't create any of the transport, the grain from ukraine,

and he's ready to provide the free passage ship carrying green international waters . we have a mutual understanding here with the us. but we still like a constructive approach from the key of authority. and while speaking, thought to you, the head of the international federation of red cross, unread christian society for world focus has moved away from the hunger emergency 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 we need not get in. where seen that are the regions, i guess in the focus. i'm not to say that one humanitarian situation is more better or worse. a one person is better or worse off in terms of getting the aid, but what we are saying is that that age is not getting always to the people that needed the most. and on the continent that i represent wasting children that are

starving with people that are also dying because of them all of no lack of food. so the situation is really dire, and we're seeing that more focus needs to be given to the continent. so that at least many interior workers like a new military organization. god can really step up and kind of getting up for auction. there's western eyes debates a 7th until russian package of sanctions. europe is already eaten into its width. augusta says, however, some you politicians have acknowledged that their own sanctions. policies are having a blowback effect. were 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. you commission presidents ursula vaughn de leon propose her own energy saving plan, saying that loring thermostats, by 2 degrees in every european household, is an effective step in replacing gas supplies. going from an old stream to pipeline, also contributes at rachel mazda of his, 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 fujian and now their nose diving and madly mashing, all the buttons on the control panel trying to figure out how to save 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 so on. the ride that they have lost control may read. mcginnis, that you commissioner for financial stability. like wow, she has quite the task ahead of her. judging by that job, the surgeon just said that the ear 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 crutch. mcginnis also said we under 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 make sure that they had their own oxygen mask on to insure their own economic survival before rushing to assist ukraine and taking the russian dependent you energy market with their own sessions. 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 will be repaired in montreal, back to siemens energy company in germany under its own sanctions. canada won't allow itself to provide any components that could be used in the gas pipeline. in the meantime, gas promise had to significantly reduce gas loads, germany sparking talk of the potential energy of urgency. so by sticking it to puting, canada has also sunk it to it's close allied germany. so it's no wonder that jens plugin or foreign policy adviser to chancellor will have schultz is now asking why germany's future really, asia 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 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 of us here crush. meanwhile, russia, the 2nd largest stock exchange has announced bonds to offer clients cross border trading with the chinese territory of hong kong. it also comes as riches oil exposed to china, sold by record, 55 percent compared to last year. almost $2000000.00 per day are being transported via siberia, pacific ocean pipeline versus no overtaken saudi arabia as beijing's leading oil supplier with a man for oil in china, rose the coven, restrictions were suffered, which ease logistical problems, and allowed industry report over production to rebound excuse me, benjamin charles, a professor at the parish school of technology and business says there will be plenty of bites of russian energy in the long term. so countries like china and india are dramatically increasing their imports from russia are. and since demand

is negatively related to prices, so as long as you're sure you're selling at a sufficiently low price to east is corner s, absorb all the energy products there were supposed to be exported to rule or india middle to longer term. the current sanctions against russia and the disruption of supply from ukraine create serious energy and crops shortage. and the expectation on saw tissue as well. and does, we are a sink historic inflation indicates now that the europe relies on russia for nearly 40 percent off is natural gas and 25 percent office is by all means that it is not possible to remove european need of russian oil and gas in the near term european council this week granted, candidate status for ukraine. politicians say this, this is a most a historic day for both parties. this is a very 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. however, many of these issue seemed 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 and protection of minorities. but even lun 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 us would take several years. indeed, probably on several decade me from just of in a grant in candidate status, the ukraine is a symbolic decision on my question to the blog will require huge reforms and time you crank can fulfill the very long list of requirements. the dream of becoming a member of the in you could still be just fat, becoming a candid, it may signal the intention, but it's certainly no guarantee or to officially enter the ukraine will lead unanimous approval of its members states with each having veto power over new membership ukraine now joins or the candidates on the list of states have been waiting for approval for years or even decades. but to present the lens. he says

ukraine deserves the rights and to the block. though some politicians warning might not be anytime soon. mckesson premium, we say ukraine has been granted you candidate status. let's say ukraine has gained you candidate status. did it fall from the sky or haven't we endured and run a lot today we are focusing on 7 you requirements. yes, it's true. why 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. ukraine became a candidate for membership despite non compliance 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. longest wasting candidates is turkey, whose bed is still on hold amid human rights concerns that despite anchorage 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. however, the e u commission president says that turkish membership is now even less likely than before. turkey today is further away than it was in 1999. the accession process is merit based and therefore it is very much in the hands of the applicant country. well, a political sciences we supposed to believe that attempts to join the you currently contradict the current geopolitical interests of turkey. i just said that it was a political, economic and the geopolitical mistake that turkish governments wanted to join the european union. and then today, this fax is re what rebuilt once again. it is wanting to have an equal relation stop it with the european countries. but it's another think to,

to be a country that europe try to use against against asia against russia, against iraq, against iran. and there today, turkish national interest and also church nation. and this has never requires being a part of the european union because turkey is not just on the 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 churches in europe and the other part of storage is in asia to stay in the gates gateway. off of europe into rates is not there today. the turkish or the business for kids national interest or that's all for now. whatever you're up to this weekend, i hope you're having a good one. money's peter scott's going to be back with another look at this week's biggest stories in 30 minutes. with

ah, the well joe middle alex, she's just see nothing from nobody but i just want to talk and then go to italian. real name is logical law school. oscar which grew up with the brand, which it probably give me a number to get enough. feel. okay for making susan. i had to put him in museum bush and below that season. now she did the work for really not these young edition did. oh, yes,

it just got a better deal. this wouldn't not have happened if you need to push this agenda. this was because on the other, she also said what about a it's not a good talk to anyone about this, but it's okay to film to stay with them. oh

hello and welcome to wells far as one of the leaders of the indian national when famously sad for them is not given. it's taken, including the freedom to charge your own course as a people or as a nation. but in the world that is increasingly and deliberately segregated across political economic cultural lines was the price of such freedom. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by ross again my fresh, cheap, cheap director of the institute for economic research and innovation at one a university of technology in south africa. professor is great to welcome you here in russian. thank you very much for this opportunity to talk to you. thanks very much. i'm not sure that you to be here. now, i know that you were born in 1969 in the still a par faith rule, south africa. and i heard you say in the, in another interview that you almost feel historically lucky. you have been born to have been brought into this world on the.
