hello, this is dylan up at the moment. this is what it's okay to still understand with worse with. mm ah, and let fall says take full control of 7 are done yet, including the chemical plant move came up. the ukranian troops were ordered to withdraw from the area all talk and no action, thousands gather immunity to protest against what they call the g 7 empty promises of economic development. also, posing nato's involvement in the war in ukraine. we're totally against this war, escalating the ukraine. we had a great fear that nato will openly intervene and unfortunately, it is already doing so. and as europe starts to tap into it, when suggest reserve, some you politicians see their sanctions policies having a blow back with

. welcome to the weekly here on our t international. my name is peter scott with some of the top stories from the we just gone. and we start off with the latest on the war in ukraine. the city of several vignettes is now under the full control of the guns. republics armed forces after ukrainian troops were ordered to withdraw. that includes the assaults, chemical plants where a key of soldiers had been dug in hundreds of civilians that were trapped in the area. and now been evacuated to safety zones. the announcement comes amid reports that russian lead forces have entered the city of missy chance commit intense fighting. as you can see here on this map with guns forces have blocked the ukranian army from the north. while the latest advances of russian troops have taken the southern front, as ukrainian troops withdraw, eager done 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 amid concrete laden fortifications, we find western supplied weapons ukrainian troops abandoned in a hurry, as they fled logo of the welto community. 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 mastiff 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 well 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 forces used against their former own abandoned well of fortifications. these type of munition is banned 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 this war, ethics is expendable decency is an excess. i mean there's done of reporting from the don bass c. meanwhile, in the dance republics capital, the city center has been shelled by ukrainian forces. as a result, civilian infrastructure was damaged, but no casualties reported the showing all the residential areas internet has intensified to since the one ukraine begun. our correspondence, roman quarter of early discussed the rise in civilian casualties with one castell, the french army vets, who joined the done yes, 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 it

had made it easier. and 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, when it was american politics, it was not the people of ukraine. it was american politicians. you wanted to interfere in ukrainian affairs and change something. i did not imagine they would be such victims on my dad. i'm at work. i began to notice the nazis and ukraine was being supported by euro. i didn't think that i city and the world war 2 euros vote not seems who openly show that belief that if and then people started being killer odessa is will hans and don't ask. and i decided to come and see everything with my own eyes welder, ms. you while a you and i were speaking at 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 don't. yes, good yet. bugs, excuse me, when there is a war when someone has to military infrastructure,

there are always civilian victims. but the center of 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. will pay $155.00 millimeter caliber artillery. so many systems of those that france handed over to ukraine, 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 or more than it is necessary to conduct peaceful dialogue. but how can such dialogue we can talk to the theme self gives wetness that kill normal people. yeah. they just want to create a war until the last ukrainian remains. this decision was made by the us. 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 because they're trying to weaken 2 powers that 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 development are on the agenda, the war in ukraine on a joint strategy of army kit is likely to dominate those talks. u. k prime minister boys johnson has encouraged the group to increase the fort for ukraine and 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, claiming there's a lot of talk for no action on issues like climate change. while some fair nato is too close to the conflicts with its members already supplying arms directly. elbow available don't scope it. i work with the resistance group because we are totally

against this war escalating in ukraine. we had a great fear that nato 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 or reg, global north. and the g 7 have a huge climate that they're by far, that leading contributors to the climate crisis. not only in emissions, but also in their impact through colonialism and in slave meant of most of the world i guess around a difficult situation. first because of the kroner pandemic now because of the ukraine crisis and cry. and not to speak of the crisis. every random, right, but i think i have to take a leadership role now, and i don't see that happening. i mean, the major protests held in munich have seen at least 9 arrests. hundreds more protested

against applying arms to key if 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. protestors are urging increased efforts in the global fight against hunger and climate change. artes flavio want ritz lee ban follows the unfolding protests. it's dear western civilization about to decline. that's what many demonstrators are claiming here, on the dis, years demonstrations again 57 meeting that takes place on the castle of elmo in the barbarian out. today we have around 2 to 3000 demonstrators here in this city center of munich through a demand, a withdrawal 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 sunday's meeting of the g 7 group of leading world economies. the moves the latest attempt by western states to drive a wedge between you deleon moscow, amid the ukraine conflicts is our t contributor. archie ticker from the indian capital. friends turner in the movie is attending the g 7 summit on june $26.27 in germany at the indication of germany's johnson law shows. branson will be on the sidelines of the summit is going to bilateral meetings with some of the leaders of the 5 to speaking countries. chancellor shows invitation to the brand new movie 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 jobs because of its longstanding strategic partnership and security dies. big. russia has also asked broad end off, hostile these and has aggregated, di, know, and diplomacy. somalia is starving to death before i start to start warning the u. n's issue to g 7. leaders ahead of the summer this weekend and said only a massive and immediate increase in phones can stop the country from descending into a catastrophe caused by a great from and smolley is just one parts of an extensive crisis unfolding on the african continent. despite the global appeal for, if you will be at south so done on the malia, attracting pledges of $6000000000.00. the u. n says only 3 percent of those funds have actually been received in the staff is also warning. it's almost 8000000

children across 15 countries are risk of death from starvation. and in a bid to tackle the food crisis in africa, the u has pledged an additional humanitarian package, but it's estimated to be much less than europe is providing for ukraine. with more on how the funding is drawing off, his ortiz paul, asleep, a cap to the waste of johannesburg. where wanting to people doesn't have a job and wanting for people like the rest of africa is patient and insecurity. maybe 20000000 children are managed on this continent. now to fight found them 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 burrell, it uses the russian president vladimir putin, of a deliberate attempt to create hunger in the world in order to push out on the eve

to lift the sanctions. one can not imagine that the millions of tons of wheat remain blog. ukraine. you are the director of the world. people are suffering hunger pieces that really walk right. but in africa, 12 people die upon get every minute. statistics that existed long before the ukrainian crisis. not only does not acknowledge it's disproportionate spending in ukraine, it's doing very little to help fight famine. it's excuse and i want to insist that it's not going to be in sanction. sure is creating crisis. our sanctions don't target 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, says 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 link that to people who live here way food is scarce and becoming more so. policy on t. johannesburg. earlier we spoke of political and economic on the list. i called new york who says it's critical africa receives urgent food assistance in order to a hunger and a bird pad in africa. i think the focus has to be on number one, emergency food assistance. i can help people in refugee camps and id and people 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 yield 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 the families of africa has the potential to become a good economic powerhouse within the world is given the opportunity and provided portals well, the west plains, russia for the few crisis, but the countries leader has hit bucket 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, east austin. today we are seeing a deliberately inflated hysteria over the termination of ukrainian grain export plexi port. 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 greenville to

international waters. we have a mutual understanding here with the us, but we still constructive approach from the key of authority in speaking to our team, the head of the international federation of red cross on red, crescent societies visit the world. focus has moved away from the hunger, but you see this happening right now. humanitarian age and i've been there. i do 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 boy 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 get 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 a does not get in always to the people that needed the most. and on the continent that i represent, we're seeing 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. we're saying that more focus needs to be given to the continent so that at least humanitarian workers like got a new military organisation. god can really step up in terms of getting up our actions as western allies debate a 7th until russian package of sanctions. europe is already eating into his whence augustus is over so many politicians have acknowledged that their own sanctions. policies are having a blowback effect. we're 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, on the land proposed her own energy saving plan, saying that lowering thermostats by 2 degrees in every european household would be an effective step in replacing gas supplies, coming from the node stream one pipeline, or the 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 a law when the folks in charge suddenly caught the gas, say, take that fusion 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 the 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 the 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 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 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 turbines 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 from pipeline . in the meantime, gas promise had to significantly reduce gas load germany sparking talk of the potential energy of urgency. so by sticking it to putting canada has also socket to its close allied germany. so it's no wonder that yann's plugin or foreign policy advisor to chancellor will have schultz is now asking why germany's future really share 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. the e with 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 out and come to their senses before all monsieur crash. meanwhile, versus 2nd largest stock exchange has announced plans to offer clients cross border trading with the chinese church of hong kong. it also comes as russia's oil for 2 china sold by record, 55 percent compared to last year. almost $2000000.00 barrels per day are being transported via siberia, pacific ocean pipeline, which is now overtaken, saudi arabia as beijing's leading oil supplier. but demand for oil in china, rose after coven restrictions were suffered, easing logistical problems, and allowing industrial production to rebound benjamin shower professor at the parish school of technology business. he says there will be plenty of buys, a version 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 low as will show you selling at a sufficiently low price to east, it's going to 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 from ukraine create serious energy and crops shortage . and the expectation on salted as well. and does we think historically, inflation in decades thought that the europe relies on russia for nearly 40 percent off this 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 european council this week has granted candidate status for ukraine and politicians. so this is a mark 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 seem to have been whitewashed when the commission gave its recommendation. overall. as regards the political criteria, ukraine as well advanced in reaching the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for protection of minorities. but even von delane has admitted ukraine will have to pull out all of the stops if it's to reach the final

destination. as an e, you member, other members of the block agree? this could be a very long way off. you 72. we all know perfectly well the, the process to allow ukraine to join would take several years. indeed, probably on several decade me. yes. wonderful. then who granted you candidate status to 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 you could still be just fat, becoming a candid, it may signal the intention, but it's certainly no guarantee. now to officially enter the ukraine, will need unanimous approval of its members states with each having veto power over new membership. ukraine now joins of the candidates on the list of states who have been waiting on approval for years and even decades. in some cases, both presidents key,

it says ukraine deserves the rights and the block. those. some politicians warning may not be anytime soon. okay, 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, but haven't we endured and run a lot today we are focusing on 7 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. 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 waiting candidates is turkey whose bid is still on hold amid human rights concerns . as despise anchor, have been a long term ally of the block on key issues,

including the migrant christ is caused by the syrian war. the country president believes that turkey is a session should be encouraged. as these days, the ukrainian crisis has reasserted the strategic importance of turkey for the u. however, the u commission president says that turkey 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 of physical sciences. we supposed to believe that the attempts to join you currently contradict the current geopolitical interests of turkey. i can say that it was a political, economic, and the geopolitical mistake that turkish governments wanted to join the european union and the today, this fact is rewarded. rebuilt once again, it is wanting to have an equal relation ob, it with the european countries. but it's in another think to, to be

a country that europe tried to use against against asia against russia, against iraq, against iran, and today, turkish national interests. and also church nation interest has never required being a part of the european union. because turkey is nuts. busy justin a 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 is in asia to stay in the gates. a gateway of europe into rates is not there today, the turkish or the present turkish national interest. those, the new stories, the shapes, the we care on all the international form on any of them do head over to our websites, r t dot com. i'm pizza, scott, on whatever you want to this weekend. i hope having a good one things to watch in awe

. ah ah, what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time to sit down and talk ah

ah, well don't middle alex, she's just you columbia. no, not in columbia. nobody but i just bought a level that he died young. my real name is logical, is law school of college who is with the branch if at all, which is it is public, your fear to be a number. if you feel okay that make it look like which in motion in now she did the way volley april. really not is almost as is you know that the there is no way that was yellow. they just had like,

i don't, i don't bus a deal. this would not have happened if vedo as by them didn't push this agenda, this war. but that because i'm yeah, that also means that i should be to what about a, a get a new one up with with with really that's sure what it is is it.
