[000:00:00;00] with a, with another block that was supposed to be the bass, 10 of ukrainian defense that fell rob quickly and abundance of nato weapons vans council wall kid thought he explores what remains of the as old chemical pond in several i don't. yes. following the retreat of keith's forces, staging denounces the geo political machinations of g 7 countries after the group announced the world wide infrastructure project to count to china's own global

belts and road initiative. dialogue we worked for for so many years. that's not on the table dumps will working. nato's chief announces a massive increase in the number of combat ready troops with the alliance with the escalation coming, despite some international efforts to mediate peace and ukraine. with a welcome to you. this is on the international with the latest world headlines. it's good to have you with us. i was talking with the latest from ukraine when missiles have reportedly struck a more full of people than essential ukrainian city of kremlin church, causing a massive blaze. this is the latest and verify damage of footage, apparently from the scene showing the fire and go through the building. report say they could have been up to a 1000 people inside the mall at the time of the attack. at least 3 people have

reportedly been killed and 40 wounded k of claims of russian missile the building, but isn't a word from us so, so far as the mold is located right across the street from a ukrainian machine factory reportedly used for repairing military vehicles previously russia has said that it only target science used by ukraine's armed forces will keep you updated on all the latest. the most moscow say is full of its high precision. miss also has a weapons factory and kia, which had been pumping out ammunition. well ukrainian rocket launches, rushes defense ministry also explains that kids own ad defense systems were responsible for anything. a residential building. the is to mozilla with steve regime, attempted to shut down high precision russian missiles with air defense system stations in the city. due to a lack of communication between those systems and ready apparatus to s $300.00. and so our crocked missiles were heed by ukraine and book systems. and one of the missiles is believed to have fallen into a residential building. you have to be the remark. the response from moscow's

defense ministry came off to cabs. mad, blamed russia. if a sunday's incident in which one person was killed and 6 others injured, including a child, when a missile hit a residential building and the kindergarten in the ukrainian capital and other developments russian lead forces have been evacuating hundreds of civilians from the adults chemical plant and then a gone city of several, don, yes, which has come under the full control of the against republics. will doris's humanitarian efforts are underway to help civilians who chose to remain in several don. yes, despite the fighting that russia's defense ministry says that more than a 100000 residents of state in the city on this suburbs, some civilians have openings that the ukrainian army didn't help them evacuate and had even sets up firing positions inside residential areas. we heard from some of them one of them is that we are grateful to you for everything for coming here and

freeing us from all the korean in the military did nothing to help us. they wanted to point and residential areas shelling, civilian buildings themselves and saying that the russians are doing it. i cannot imagine what they will do to us when was daniel areas with our tags. and ours is the one you use were afraid that the ukrainians will now show us from lucy, chance of their army didn't help us evacuate the fired from all around our building . tanks and artillery were constantly driving around shooting where we lived. images. almost a month intense parcels tore into the industrial zone is the ukrainian only use the chemical plant to shelter from russian forces who were taking control of the city. ukrainian soldiers were forced to retreat to prevent the escalating losses and naughty team visited the factory to see what the ukrainian army left behind. yes, 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 we're basically, we're about to see how they lived and what they've left behind. but i mean i own lama medical. ah, let's put a little that in with this a teacher. but if you, if you get it will not get a curator. i wouldn't,

north was lim with 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 results of the work of the russian artillery. maybe even jets. because over here you can see the rounded hit, the roof destroying this position, lessons by your from 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 and the no weapons will help them. hey, justin sounds good now. we'll 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 to the fence was prepared here to 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 assault plant where a platoon of ukrainian soldiers all slept. i had some rest there. 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. part of this place is a well separated with the un refugee agency world curtain and behind this curtain, ah, american made javelin missiles, sure. with his pores on a student with one of machine use bus peoples of each that are here. this place gives some serious flashbacks of another factory over in the city of marie 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, a 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 got it didn't happen. now give maintains that this was a tactical retreat that the troops, that they fell back to the 40 fight and more advantageous positions over there. a missing the fact that the set positions remained incomplete. encirclement makers done of reporting from the a sort chemical plant r t. as the cleaning on, he was forced to abandon his possessions. many soldiers had been left behind by their commanders. we heard from some of them a warning. these captured soldiers may be speaking under duress. good. we were abandoned by our own comrades, our officers. they fled with some soldiers, but the rest were left on the sellers. a lot of guys aren't coming home. we don't

have a good president. he is not a politician. he is a clown. the ukranian army is a horrible mess. talentless young officers untrained with no proper management. in fact, everything turned out to be built on alive. from conscription to the army, to this several high ranking officials from the u. a have offered to help mediate the exchange of military prisoners between russia and ukraine. as, according to a report by russian news agency, re inova stay early this month. russia's defense minister said more than 6000 ukrainian competency being held by russia. however, thank a showing do. how did they care of is reluctant to negotiate a swap deal with moscow? meanwhile, the new york times so that a huge network of american spies and ukraine operating else have key if one of their key objectives is reportedly to manage weapon flows as the west provides billions of dollars worth of arms and equipment to key. if the article says ukraine

heavily depends on help from the us and its allies, but it seems that most of the u. s. intelligence or perceives in the country, are acting in secrets. the article contradicts previous reports about how the us like the clear picture of what's actually happening inside ukraine's army. she 7 leaders have announced billions of dollars of investments in the global infrastructure projects in an effort to count to china's expansion of power broad through its belton road initiative. beijing house condemned when it describes as the west geo political machinations committed under the guys are promoting worldwide development, offering better options for countries and for people around the world to invest in critical infrastructure that improves the lives their lives. all of our lives are, delivers real gauge for all of our people because one democracies demonstrate what we could do all that we have to offer. i have no doubt there will . would the competition every time?

don't sure. don't playing china welcomes own initiatives that promote global infrastructure. what we oppose is to advance to political calculations and smeared that belts. road initiative in the name of promoting global infrastructure development. since the launch of the belgian road initiative, 9 years ago, china has always had head to the prince, suppose of joint consultation drunk construction and shed benefits. so instead of invading countries under a questionable pretext, and hoping that a military footprint translates to an economic line that looks like now they're going to try to use a teaspoon of money rather than vinegar. and it's going to cost them $600000000000.00 worth for this project here. under 1000000000 pledge coming from washington. and that's supposed to add to another 300000000000 promised by the u. last year. now the targets africa and latin america and the white house said last sunday that american companies were working on various projects. for example,

he cited solar power project in angola, vaccine manufacturing facility in senegal and modular reactor in romania and a 1000 miles submarine telecom cable to connect singapore to france through egypt and the horn of africa. pretty ambitious. but is it realistic or is it just window dressing? german chancellor, olaf schultz seems to be a true believer. he's framing it as an opportunity for g 7 companies to get their foot in the door. the public sector alone would not be able to close to a huge investment gap we placed in many parts of the world. this is why we are promoting innovative instruments such as the emerging market climate action front in order to mobilize private investment to force sustainable infrastructure. so the reason behind all of this is that these g 7 countries which are mainly western lead,

are trying to compete with china. and it's 10 year olds belt and road initiative which young, which they're spending now just for example, last year, 59000000000 dollars in just one year. so china has a huge lead on this. even though there's a lot of criticism coming from washington and it's longstanding, they're realizing that they have to find a way to compete with it because criticizing it as former c, i, a director and former u. s. secretary of state mike pompeo has done in the past. apparently just this just isn't working anymore. shine of petals corrupt infrastructure deals in exchange for political influence. it's bribe fuel debt trap. diplomacy undermines good governments and threatens to append the free market economic model on which so many countries depend, right? so in china does it, it bribe fuels and debt diplomacy? of course that never happens right. washington has never done anything with respect to bribes and underhanded activity. in africa, right? ever,

all you have to do is look back at history with respect to these kinds of initiatives . the most obvious example being the marshall plan to reconstruct post world war 2, europe, 5 percent. at least of that budget, went to setting up cia front companies in european countries. it's hard to imagine how this new initiative could provide a pretext for securing a foothold in africa and latin america in the west has been struggling to actively counter countries cooperation with russia and china. so far, only the marketers seem to be profiting because as i said earlier, this is just a rebranded initiative from that build back that a rural proposal table. that last year's g 7 summit in britain, china basically has about a decade lead on this and hundreds of billions of dollars. but let's see what happens me while china's the infrastructure initiative is seeing successful results

with the recent opening of bangladesh is longest bridge built by a chinese company, the structure nearly 7 kilometers long as seen by beijing as a milestone for his cooperation with the south asian country economies, richard varner believes the g 7, his fearful about china becoming a strong, international power. and the, these rich industrialized countries have dominated the global discourse. and also the policies towards developing countries was the majority of the world's population lives in developing countries. and they've essentially been on the receiving end of these policies, but these policies have not been very successful. they have not deliver growth and prosperity for developing countries. china stepped in and to be much more generous, did not make all these other logical political conditions. a pre condition off

lending the money. and so now it seems g 7, g 7 feels china is making too many in roles here and is winning on the international you know, political battle field service speak. so countermeasures are being called for. but really what they should be saying is, okay, the chinese approach is works better. why don't we reform the, i'm and, well thank system and actually make it much more direct geared towards helping truly helping developing countries on the sidelines on the g 7 firm as the head of the european commission that she would like to see vladimir putin attend the g 20 summit later this year so that european leaders can talk to the russian president. i tie globe is better. i think it's better. he does come back to tell him to his face what we think. and then he should also take a stand am i am at the tough talking at the g 7 summit which sent back taxpayers money. some of the leaders seem to more interested in shirtless vacation photo is

if the russian president, rather than discussing global issues, britain's prime minister and his canadian counterpart even joked about undressing, to show that their quote tougher than vladimir putin. oh, i seems like they'll have a chance to show how tough they really are. as the criminal has confirmed putin will attend the g 20 summit in november. and that he's having some of the summit is coming to a close of the 2 days of discussions without any big commitments made between the western leaders. it took place a week after a summit of the briggs nations while similar in size and scope. these 2 organizations have wrought the contrasting approaches. where's the brick film? it has 0 costs as it was held by a video conference. the g 7 leaders met on a grand scale. the g 7 summit was held in the bavarian alps and one of germany's

most expensive resorts with 18000 police officers providing security. the official cost for that $2.00 day event was $180000000.00 euros. the media reports that the real price was close to $200000000.00 euros secured 518000 police officers total cost, $180000000.00 euros. the source there to which avella, the bricks consisting of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa have a combined gdp of about $52.00 trillion dollars. while the g seven's is a little less at $49.00 trillion dollars. last is the population of the bricks. nations amounts to more than 3000000000 people, while only about a quarter of that number 777000000. live in g 7 countries as you can my jaw, a research editor, india today says the briggs group is becoming more attractive for fellow developing

countries. the brakes. only 5 countries if you big. but as russia, india, china, i've got pretty got the controlled 25 percent of the, of the global economy. but if you include all the newer members, as you pointed out, are guarantee enough many other countries, like indonesia and others, then it represents almost, you know, the rest of the one year countries which is 55 percent of the global economy. i would consider the brakes as the future of the war. the g 7 is not living and happy with it. so in the late this g 7 summit, we saw the g 7 inviting some of the developing world countries like india, argentina, and others with some it in germany. so it seems that they are recognizing that the expose a major challenge and are going to the bank for example, into the world bank or to the institution like i m f. all that sort of make the

brakes and lead to developing countries initiative much more attractive then let's say by the g 7 extensive dialogue with russia is no longer possible, less according to nato's cheek. speaking ahead of the blog summit in madrid this week, installed some bug also announced a massive increase in the number of combat ready nato troops. you all transformed the nato response force and increase the number or higher of this forces to well over the 100000. so sold a meaningful dialogue we worked for for so many years. ducks knocked on the table, got salt, working as simply because of rushes behavior. earlier up to 5000 demonstrators took to the streets of madrid, demanding the dissolution of nato, and the shut down of a line space is in spain, protested marsh, through the spanish capital, shouting slogans and brandishing anti nato banners that look summits,

madrid this week is expected to focus on finland's and sweden's bid to join the alliance as well as on increasing military spending among nato members. his was, some of the activists in madrid have been saying in response didn't open 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 all 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. but nato only perpetuates the logic of violence that destroys our cities. our society that generates violence. it only escalates at battery. yeah. safe sweeney international edison, the morning star newspapers,

these nato's aggressive policy towards russia is no path to peace. i think that this is an announcement by in stoughton burg today is quite astonishing. i mean, he said, is the biggest overhaul of those forces since the since the cold war, but i think this can really only be seen as an act of aggression. i'm one that takes us further away from pain in stockton berg open. he said that he views russia as the biggest threat to our security by ours he means the west. but we can see quite clearly that who, who is leading the question here. this is, there's been a constant mix, fraction east that we know over the next few days. it like to this week that they're going to be discussing finland and sweden membership. all of that, i think it's a very clear message that nato is not interested in peace. it's not interested in dialogue and prepared to carry on their war of aggression to be i think we should try to spell any made that nato is

a defensive alliance. is not it's an aggressive miniature machine. the grace period for some of russian is foreign debt, expired early on monday, raising the question of a possible default for the can't be economy. western media pursuing the default narrative came, it could lead to harsh consequences. the moscow russia defaulted on its foreign currency, sovereign debt for the 1st time in a century, the combination of ever tough, a western sanctions that shut down payment routes to overseas creditors. it's a grim marker in the countries rapid transformation into an economic, financial, and political outcast equipment insists it has by the will as a currency to services, dead son, phase any default would be awesome official because it would be caused by sanctions . the issue was previously raised off, the russia was cut from the international banking system, swift following the stars at the war and ukraine. however, moscow subsequently found ways to services that despite the restrictions,

russia's finance ministry face required payment was made in advance. on may 20th the criminal spokesperson, say there's a reason to say russia would be actually defaulting. the statements about to default are absolutely unjustifiable in this case because the necessary payment was made in may. the fact that you're clear withheld that money and did not transfer it to its recipients is no longer a problem. there is no reason to call this situation a default. and then the all the western thing, conk, the council on foreign and defense policy, alexander losa face. the situation is in fact a strategic default of american banks. linda stacy is trying to register for kristen by a cruising us over financial grier. there is no default or finance minister to do not does not refuse to fulfill this litigation to serve your force. i think a duration has

a fusion and won't and or some other kind of system who obligation wellness the action had been taken. and chris went to cones for those who have some of the american correspondent banks. and i think if american banks do not circle kills allegation to customers and make payments, passing the system to default of american banks. strategic is default is or, or what, what it's call reason and doesn't due to the financial economic problem. holder boring that would be disastrous. repercussions for the whole world due to the worsening global food crisis. that's a stock warning for the un secretary general. the main cost, the farmers are fertilizers and energy fertilizers. prices have risen by more than holes in the past year. and energy prices buy more than 2 service harfers will be

hit, including rice and corn, the 5th billions of people across asia, africa, and the americas. no country will be immune to the social and economic repercussions of such a catastrophe. as the whole region which crosses central africa is expected to be one of the hardest hit with more than 10 and a half 1000000 people facing potential farm in their conflicts in that vast area have left millions displaced. also in the hood of africa, ethiopia, somalia, and kenya have been suffering from an unprecedented drought that has led to water shortages, humanitarian aid agencies. they is extremely difficult to get help into the areas in need. we spoke to aliana, cindy and co, a regional representative of the red cross in kenya, who says the impacts of climate change on the global situation in general, and making it harder for the african continent every day. well, working on the ground to support the people, it is true that the situation has been difficult for a long time because there isn't on the region,

has protract protracted conflicts that cause to displacement. like for example, if we speak about booking of a saw alone this some are almost 2000000 people that are displaced 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 climate shock, so more and more of this region phase is facing the impact of the of the climate change. so all these combine factors have an impact on the capacity of the pharmacy, of the 60 subsistence pharmacy to produce food. and now of course, with the world situation and the rising food in fuel prices, this is just added another layer of your ability on this all region that has already suffered from food insecurity in the past. or just by the di situation and

saw how the west is seemingly focusing his attention elsewhere throughout the crisis. the amount of money received in humanitarian aid accounts, which is 9 percent of the african region needs. however, when it comes to assistance for ukraine, the e u. and the u. s. have this year already provided several 1000000000 euros of both military and humanitarian aid. and yet the west continues to blame russia for exacerbating world hunger. the same red cross representative says that with western focus elsewhere, it's difficult to attract attention to crises. they continue year after year we try of course, or to draw attention, not just 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 conflicts that to receive from

more interest, more coverage, more humanitarians funds. it's just more difficult to attract at the same level of attention to situations that have been tracking for years or sometimes decades. we need long term solutions and we need 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 rolled in the d. kate. 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. many, thanks for joining us. aronoff international. we're back at the top of our with all the latest, we'll say pad ah ah ah
