a deal with look out of new up coils up against a a a with that's what excites the leaders of g, m, g 7, excuse me, not massive crowds of protesters, but demand. they stop rearming and resolve social issues. u. s. secretary of state claims moscow will suffer from a ban on russian gold exports. while the european union fears further sanctions may hurt it, more abundance of native weapons and scattered rockets are to explore what remains

at the abs off chemical plant in 70 done. yet after care forces retreated. another block that was supposed to be the best, the end of ukrainian defense that fell rod the quickly basically were about to see how they lived and what they left behind with broadcast mob director studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us are now thousands of people have joined a rally in germany against g 7, economies to demand action against western militarization while screaming anti war slogans. but internal and global issues appeared not to be as interesting to g 7 leaders as vacation photos of the shirtless russian president with u. k. premier born johnson and his canadian counterpart joking about whether they should undress in order to show that they are tougher than vladimir putin. a

message with united, but i don't. the west is united. they try to show united way towards russia. and what i see is that there are also some tricks in the unit because we see that the different interest in the west, they try to get russia to certain sanctions, either that russian or it can be free, exported with greek tankers around the world. and there's a high demand for russian on work, and i don't see that that will work. also people in the west trying to escape inflation and tend to buy gold. so i think just the prize arise. but it will not

the, the russian economy that in that way, as a nation, saying germany will never reach it. go know that we talked about it using german code for production of, of electrical energy and will come in a dramatic situation that will have much more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in germany than before. so germany will never reach. it goes after sharing jokes g 7 leaders have gone from playing games to blame games, specifically blaming russia for storing prices as their severe energy crisis continues into yet another year. or see just how critical this is every day the entire world is feeling the impact of rushes, broody, war and ukraine. and on our energy marketers, here in the, in the, in the g 7. i think what we're realizing is that the, you know, the parties over for russian hydrocarbons. so everybody's fighting new ways of

adapt. this comes as gas and electricity prices continue to rise in western countries with many ordinary people suffering from high inflation and soaring gas bills. meanwhile, g 7 leaders appear more interested in ukraine than fuel prices, reportedly committing to provide indefinite military and financial support to give years, our tease would august to have commenting on how western leaders column people to sacrifice their basic needs to defeat russia. european leaders as enforce trying to convince hundreds of millions of voters that they couldn't help to stop booting by, for example, showering less my counterpart from the netherlands recently told me proudly that they had launched a campaign intended to cut the average, showering time from 10 minutes to 5, it is a powerful response to vladimir putin's intention of dividing our society by way of higher prices. yes, a powerful response indeed. german pundents have even come up with tips to help

people shower less and use less war more. for example, they came that if you don't shower for extended periods of time, weeks, the bacteria that will bloom across your body will start eating the dirt in the stink off of you. that's actually in build than many germans are shaking their heads. the symptoms were not, it always sounds so banal, replaced the shower head, that saves 30 percent energy ha showerhead should save us from posing god. so if you see the total, it adds up quite a bit. after all, there are a total of $40000000.00 households in germany. they're even coming up with names for this stuff. operation thermostat in italy, and public spaces schools outs, where you could only use air conditioners to cool to 25 degrees celsius in the summer. and heat to only 90 degree celsius in the winter exceed those and you

potentially face fives, amounting to thousands of euro's france is following suit, energy efficiency and energy saving play an important role if we reduce the heating temperature, 80 degrees on average in europe, or that of air conditioning directly to replace the entire supply as not strain. what's worse, years and years. even decades of club with and green energy policies are being a raced in this economic self flagellate co palace stations of being sod up in germany and austria, the netherlands, and more war regulation. as flying out the window for reference burning coal produces twice as much carbon dioxide as burning natural gas twice as much. and by the way, this isn't rock bottom. europe still have some way to go before officials sink the continent to that level. and we have to be honest, it's not over yet. more people will be affected. the high energy prices will only

gradually be passed on to consumers. i see a great determination to not allow putin to get away with this war, even if it comes at a cost phrase and the winter boil in the summer. shower less and pay more for water for fuel, for power, all in the name of beat in putin, by, by less natural gas from russia accept. and this is what european officials have been told people all last, russia, natural gas that europe doesn't buy, just goes to asia, the china, the india in denisia, elsewhere. all that self inflicted suffering pushed on europeans by the same leaders who led them into an energy crisis. and for was apparently for nothing we spoke with i commer and a communist and political commentator who claims that the crisis is becoming very severe for america's closest allies. so it's basically about crushing the economy.

it's not about building something up, but the people in the green or to, to get away from the fossil fuel. it's just a little story to, to get the people behind this control demolition of the worst on the economy. i think is a very situation for the, for the puppet states of the united states. why did they agree to, to ban on oil exports. it is because of the current fees as they are now, are in jeopardy. and i think this is, this is an emergency meeting of the, of the americans who have some big issues going on. meanwhile, on the sidelines of the g 7 summit at burgeoning bricks, romance was brewing, indian and argentinian leaders engaged in their 1st bilateral talks with bonus iris,

hoping to turn the 5 bricks economies into 6. they discussed investments, mutual, economic development, and south south cooperation. as as other g 7 leaders focused on negative anti russian sanctions rather than following india and origin. tina's camaraderie, x indian diplomat, rajiv douglas says that he would rather there be, had been less focus on moscow after forward the water does not work from the moment position. and now with all these sanctions and with all the issues connected, the, the food supply and saw, there is a deep, i guess this is the single was what, what we see today in germany. and you said one thing is most of us on board vision . but the focuses on sanctions, more veterans, and the foreign national war and your friends, india and russia sort by each other or the last 75 years is 1947 when it became independent. and india has always acted and was just

right and just and wanted thank is that says what it's independent or, and policy and i think the quality that yeah, as for those, it's quite tremendously sure. some of the western b as an example in all, if i'm be, must maintain it's friendship with everyone, especially with in britain like russia, outside of blaming russia for rising prices. us secretary state entity blinking claims and embargo on russian gold exports would strip moscow of around $1000000000.00 in annual revenue. that is the 2nd most lucrative export. the russia has after energy, it's about $900000000000.00 a year. and most of that is within the g 7 country. so cutting that off. dying access to about $900000000000.00 of revenues a year that significant. it is unclear whether the rest of the g 7 nations will

sign up to the band. the european council president has said that the would 1st need to weigh up, who targeting russian gold would hurt more moscow or you countries? russia is one of the world's leading exporters of gold. with $346.00 tons mind last year. 87 percent of that volume is exported with the u. k. and the switzerland, the main importers. when it comes to russian made gold jewelry. however, the main consumers are india and china. andrew k. p young, a prominent international china specialist says that the band would come back to bite the west because the low line go, including china, india, and other asian countries. as a storage at the end of the day, bending and go. it's not going to prevent russia. busy receiving the revenue from go, i need to fax over the encoders whole countries by boat. because l

completely getting to news with, with, and in this been used all as a weapon. so i think at the end it's going to put the west russian lead forces, say they are evacuating hundreds of civilians from the as a chemical plant in the guns city of 70 done yes, this is said the cities industrial zone comes under full control of the local army, now, for almost a month intensive battles tore into the industrials on at $71.00, yet as of ukrainian army use the plant to shelter after russian forces took control of the city amongst the damage said to be carried out by king of forces was the wanton destruction of a chemical stamp which led to the russian minister of defense wasting fears of can go proud of vacations. the ukrainian soldiers have since left the plant to avoid large military losses. and our team visited the chemical works to see what the ukranian army left behind. yet another plant that was supposed to be the bastion of

ukrainian defense that fell rather quickly. this is the territory of the as thought factory of the assault chemical plant. and just yesterday, the last ukranian troops ran uphill towards the town of lucy chance. so now were among the 1st journalists who have been allowed in for some exclusive access. and basically we're about to see how they lived and what they've left behind things . but i with lama particularly or, or to solicit for a little bit. and with this a teach with you if you look at it from that particular share with north was

lim, would you blur deputy looking for death, whether this was one of the firing positions of the ukrainian forces at the as lot chemical plant. you can see here a western made our p g machine gun rounds. very interesting ones. the ones with the red tip, ah incendiary and the ones with the white tip, they have extra piercing capabilities. also here, you can see the result of the work of the russian artillery. maybe even jets. because over here you can see the rounded hit, the roof destroying this position, the lessons value from of what they leave here goes to us and we use their weapons against them. the assistance provided ukraine, my nato was not affected if ukrainians do not have the spirit to fight the no weapons will help them.

hey justin. so now you're going down to the fortified basement, which was built earlier for those working in the assault plant, to shelter from bombs, not hillary. you can on the sun, how much the defense was prepared here to do place. this is their sleeping quarters . you see the store, the ukrainian army could hold out for a very long time. this is one of the shelters at the resort plant where a platoon of ukrainian soldiers while slept. i had some rest to, there's a bunch of bunk beds over here on the other side of the room as well. and a bit of an interesting detail here. parts of this place is a well separated with the un refugee agency world curtain. and behind this curtain, ah, american made javelin missiles, sure of his wars on a student with born of machine was busty was up here. this place gives some serious

flashbacks of another factory over the city of murray opal. the infamous as of style, where the as of neo nazi battalion was sheltering for quite a while. the only significant striking difference that i see here is that we find in every room these military grade respirators. since this one is a chemical plant, the similar little economy, we're ready to use chemical weapons. apparently they just didn't have time or didn't get some kind of order and goat it didn't happen. now cave maintains that this was a tactical retreat that the troops, that they fell back to the 45 and more advantageous positions over there. amid thing the fact that the said positions remained incomplete. encirclement, i'm english done of reporting from the a sort chemical plant, art c. meanwhile, ukrainian officials claim a russian missiles hit a residential building in t of on sunday said, official say one person died and 4 people were hospitalized,

including a 7 year old girl. 24. other people were evacuated to safety. the russian defense ministry is said is yet to comment on the incident. however, moscow has repeatedly said that it only targets military facilities. up to 5000 people, took to the streets of madrid to demand the disillusion of the nato alliance and the closure of its bases on spanish soil. protestors marched through the spanish capital city, shouting slogans, and brandishing anti military and anti nato banners. the event was orchestrated ahead of the organizations to day summit to be held in the city agenda is expected to focus on finland and sweden's bids to join the alliance, as well as on an increase in military spending of up to 2 percent of g d p. such topics as well as a needle activities in general continue to cause frustration with many people. i think the proposal to increase military spending to 2 percent is truly barbaric because it is very clear that this spending is detracting from other items on the

nato as a criminal instrument of imposing imperialist measures on the rest of the world. and we should not belong in any way to this terrorist organization. it is that the existence of nato in itself is the only thing that sustains precisely this state of affairs. this system in which we live there is only a few who benefit from it and it will always be at the cost of the suffering of the working class cloud energy. nicer than nato only perpetuates the logic of violence that destroys our cities. our society that generates violence, it only escalates it. meanwhile, russia has frequently accused nato of escalating tensions as the alliance has been conducting both conventional and nuclear training in europe. however, these concerns were ignored in contrast to western hysteria towards the latest russian decision to help belarus with nuclear, capable missiles or cheese don quarter comments. as nato continues to simulate nuclear attacks in eastern europe, russia has promised to beef up al roosters defense capabilities with nuclear

capable missile systems and jet upgrades move to change musician within the next few months will transfer its kinda and tactical systems the bell race which can use both ballistic and cruise missiles and both the conventional and nuclear versions across the country. the missiles can be upgraded yet this modernization should be carried out to the factories and russia. we will agree on how to do it and start training flight cruise accordingly. and of course, the mainstream media's framing, the move as a provocation by moscow since the beginning of russia's military operation in ukraine. they've tried to make it look as if it doesn't take to to dance the nuclear escalation. tango fresh war once again is bringing back cold war concerns about the threat of its nuclear arsenal. when vladimir putin announced his invasion of ukraine early on thursday morning, he warned that nobody should get in his way, or they would suffer grave consequences. every one understood that it was

a reference to nuclear weapons threat from vladimir potent seeing this kind of behavior. and this kind of aggressive behavior. and this kind of nuclear, a specific rhetoric, no mentioned at all of the 200 strategic nuclear stockpiles that the u. s. has across 6 european nato states, or the over 250 nuclear capable planes that could deliver that colossal payload in a moment's notice. on top of that, a number of western officials seem to feel a little too comfortable about proliferating nuclear weapons. earlier this month, poland former defense minister and current m. p openly stated that the west has the right to give you crane nuclear weapons. it was only after that provocation that russia parliament felt the need to respond. she kosky provokes a nuclear conflict in the center of europe. he doesn't think about the future of either ukraine or poland. if his proposals are implemented, these countries will disappear as well as europe. and the u. k is defense minister

who said he supported kiev in any of its negotiations after 2 russian pranksters posing as ukraine's prime minister, asked him about nuclear weapons. we would like to continue the nuclear program in order to protect ourselves from russia. it's it difficult question, but we think to start it's if you could help us in this regard, it would be really important. okay, well i missed prime minister on all those big questions. i think there's a question that i need to speak to my prime minister, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. he made it clear even before russia's offensive began. that p. f was considering scrapping the budapest memorandum that prevents ukraine from having nuclear weapons. all things considered the west seems to have its wires crossed when it comes to who is provoking a possible nuclear conflict. here mr. brewton has, doesn't wanna unnecessarily escalate matters in nato knowing how

paranoid native already is deployment of nuclear capable weapons is a signal that if nato wants to escalate that, that capability is there for mr. putin. i think that that's one of the things that kid could be discussed if the west and, and the russians can get together and talk. and, but the fact that nato countries, in fact do have nuclear weapons is an, is, is another signal that it's not a defensive organizations, not a defense of alliance. because when you have nuclear weapons, that's, those are offensive. and i think that those and i think that it undermines the argument by nato itself that it's, it's a defensive organization. there will be disastrous repercussions for every one because of the worsening global food crisis. that is

a stark warning from the un secretary general. the main costs, the farmers are fertilizers and energy fertilizers. prices every isn't buy more than holes in the past year. and then, and prices buy more than 2 service whole harvard to be heat, including rice and corn. the septic billions of people across asia, africa, and the americas. no country will be immune to the social and economic repercussions of such a catastrophe. this whole region that cross central africa is expected to be. one of the hardest hit with more than 10 and a half 1000000 people facing potential famine. their conflicts in that vast area have left millions displaced. agencies say that it is extremely difficult to get help in while an unprecedented drought has led to water shortages. we spoke to you on a senior co regional representative of the red crossing, kenya who says that the impact of climate change and the global situation in general are making it harder for the african continent every day. well,

working on the ground to support of the people, it is true that the situation has been difficult for a long time because there isn't on the reach and a has a protracted conflict that calls to displacement. like, for example, if we speak about book enough, i saw a long this some almost to me and people that are placed within the country. and although also some 2000000 people that are, that have a right to the country from other places in the region. and then also the reclaim it shock. so more and more this region face is facing the impact of the of the climate change. so all be combined factors have an impact on the capacity of the farmers or the subsist subsistence promised to produce food. and now of course, with the world situation and rising food and fuel prices, this is just added and not the layer of their ability on this all region that has

already suffered from food insecurity in the past. despite the dire situation in this, i held the west is focusing its attention elsewhere throughout the crisis. the amount of money received in humanitarian aid accounts for just 9 percent of what the region needs. however, when it comes to assistance for ukraine, the you and the us have this year already provided several 1000000000 euros, both military and humanitarian aid. and yet the west continues to blame russia for exacerbating world hunger. the same red cross representative went on to tell us that with western focus elsewhere, it's difficult to attract attention to crisis. but continue year after year. we try, of course, ha, to draw attention obnoxious to the conflict who are very high on the get receive, who received a lot of media coverage and received a lot of attention,

but also to some of the protracted crisis that has been, have been going for many years and it is true that as opposed to some of the new or conflicts that receive more interest, more coverage or more humanitarians fans, it's just more difficult to attract the same level of attention to situations that have been tracking for years or sometimes decades. we need long term solutions and we need to also innovative solutions because like, for example, if we speak about the impact of climate change like now, for example, if we speak about a hail they're facing, the was drop in the decatur. also, the horn of africa is facing some of the was taught in like 40 years. but these situations we can no longer treat them as emergency situations because they have become so frequent and so severe because of the increased impact of climate change

on the continent. so we just need to come up with new ways to address those issues because they're long term issues, and we need to be very creative, finding long term, sustainable, innovative solutions to these problems. also in africa, mozambique is facing a surge in terror attacks by illness groups, many of which have been tormenting the country for years since the beginning of june to 24 people, including 2 police officers, have been killed. as milton's move further south to conduct guerrilla attacks, an estimated 17000 people have now been displaced in the southeast african country by the latest milton push. yet i went by david, a group of farm landed, survived, and sees the no person out of his head and gave it to some women to show it in the streets of the town. the lady who was carrying the had arrived in the street and showed the persons head to the body right there off to doing so. they left

last year, the french president acknowledged the problem and said that he was willing to send troops to support the country's government. however, many people now say that the french military presence wasn't much of a help. some drawing parallels with the paris is failure to help fellow african nation. molly, earlier this year, emanuel micron pulled his troops out of molly after 9 years with the number of terror attacks increasing by 56 percent between 20112021. earlier r t spoke to milady why khaki, a south african activist scholar and writer who is convinced that former colonies only get involved in affairs on the continent to their own benefit. we know that, you know, in the u. s. a. you know, kind of the colonized, you know, a stock number many see in if you have

a, b, i, when the leases are high, they are going to get, you know, kind of is that a source? it has never been, you know, it's been a 1000000 times have been, she's always when they all come with a you know, 5 so it has never been in the country. it is never going to be a. busy a you know, it will not only only be a. busy so why does it, does it look what it does for me this hour?

i will be back let's say in 30 minutes is another full and fresh with to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his on offenders, very dramatic development, only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with .
