[000:00:00;00] ah, the russian lead forces say they are squeezing a troops from, with a chance, forcing them to retreat. peace, an rti and crew looks exclusively at how moscow's military is operating in the guns for public literally seconds until it's about to fire towards a 45 percent of the ukrainian forces. with us inflation at a record high and biding cancelling energy contracts left and right. he still says he absolutely won't take on the progressive when it comes to drilling in america.

us credit rating for moody sees russia defaulting due to its grace period for payments expiring. while the kremlin says, such a default would be artificial, as it has both the will and currency to service in. the broadcasting live direct for our studios in moscow, this is our national shawn thomas, certainly glad to help you with us. now we start with the latest on the war and ukraine. according to la garza officials, russian lead forces have significantly advanced in the city of lucy chanced in the republics northwest, ukrainian forces are now said to be retreating east from that area. now fierce battles are understood to have broken out in lucy johnson after russian lead forces took control of key areas around the city. as you can see from the map here, the ukranian army now appears to be blocked from the north after key of troops retreated from a civil done yet sc, and also from the south,

which has allowed the loo, ganske army to surround it with the chance which is eager to don, i've got exclusive access to see how russian and allied forces have been operating in lou ganske was ukrainian now a russian trophy weapon the soviet made. the 64 thank was successfully thinking bought in the v nazi vacation operations just outside the found. oh, are to him of literally seconds until it's about to fly at the woods. a 45 percent of the ukrainian forces. mm hm. and what you have here is a disguised trophy tank. it used to be ukraine's t 60 fool,

but was captured all the way on the outskirts of caves and spent 4 months now. it has been taking part in the d. nazi fine operations embedded with rushes. special forces at though much. melissa, this is our little baby. we took it from the cranny, national gardener, key f a t 64 b. v tank doesn't work well. the works well enough. there are a lot of screw ups actually because ukrainian army didn't know how to service it properly. i think we need to pull out all of these american electronics. we can work with it. the most important thing is that it works. for gar, ah, as the russian forces advance in the don't buy new areas become available for journalists, and this is one of them. this is where the onslaughts, on the key strategic town of our tome of school by moved, is happening. basically, it's the gateway towards ukraine's city citadels. meanwhile, lugens ca officials have said that all civilians chopped in the amazon chemical

plant in several done yet have now been evacuated. that's after the cities industrial zone came under full control of done by forces. more than 1000 people were reported to be trapped in the plant as fighting for control of several done yet raged on. we heard from some of the evacuees there. oh, sure. i'm happy that you came home. this is the most important thing. yeah. we lived in hell for 4 months and we lived together there. we tried to help each other with food and did everything we could the ukrainian army did not give us anything. they did not give us any food just once. they provided 12 liters of water for 40 people. she knew julie said, we powered lights from potatoes. we also had small flashlights, but we used them very sparingly. so we learned to walk in the dark. don, yes, ca authorities say in the last 24 hours residential areas of the republic have been heavily shelled by here. as a result,

at least 5 civilians have been killed and 24 injured authorities said a number of ukrainian rocket launcher systems have some sequentially been destroyed, which should stop artillery attacks on the center of the done yet capital. and in the central ukrainian city of cremeans shook missiles have reportedly struck a mall full of people. this unverified footage, apparently from the scene, shows a fire engulfing the building. at least 15 people reportedly died in the incident and 50 others were wounded. give claims, a russian missile hit the mall, but there has been no official response from moscow. as of yet, the building is located across the street from ukrainian machine factory reportedly used for repairing military vehicles. a russian diplomat to the un said, it's no coincidence that the claim of russian involvement comes just before the latest nato summit. looks like we are dealing with a new butcher style,

ukrainian provocation. there are too many striking discrepancies already. exactly what the key of regime needs to keep the focus of attention on ukraine before nato summit. ah, nato's chief, has announced a massive increase in the number of combat ready nato troops calling russia a major threat to western security. now, the appointment comes ahead of the blocks of summit this week. it will transform the nato response force and increase the number or higher. this forces to well over 300000. so, so the meaningful dialogue we worked for, for so many years. that's not on the table that's not working as simply because over a shells behavior. earlier, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of madrid where the summit will take place, make amended the dissolution of nato, and the shut down of alliance bases in spain. summit is expected to focus on the war in ukraine, an increase in military funding for

t of and finland and sweden bids to join the alliance. steve sweeney international editor of the morning. star newspaper says nato's aggressive policy towards russia. is that no path to peace? i think that this announcement by in stoughton and today is quite astonishing. i mean, he said, is the biggest overall of united states 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 pay in stockton bug open. he said he views russia as the biggest threat to our security by hours. he means the best we can see quite clearly that who is leading the aggression. hey, this is there's been some expansion east what we know over the next few days. it

like to this week that they're going to be discussing finland and sweden membership . oh oh, i think it's a very clear message that nato is not interested in. peace is not interested in dial prepared to carry on their war of aggression to me, i think we should try to spell any miss that night. so is a defensive. an alliance is not an aggressive minute. she will be she while the us faces record high inflation, the white house blames everyone except itself for america's internal problems. that is, despite biden canceling offshore drilling and ghastly, says left and right. as r t is caleb martin, comments. as u. s. inflation keeps climbing, jill biden's, popularity keeps thinking, the rate of inflation in the united states is just surpassed of 40 year high a whopping 8.6 percent. of course, the white house is happy to blame every one but itself. joe biden knows how to point fingers pretty well today. invasion of ukraine has driven up gas prices and

food prices all over the world. 70 percent of the increase in prices in march came from the put in price hike. i'm doing everything i can to bring down prices and address to put in price hike us, strategic petroleum reserves are depleted, more than they've ever been down to levels we haven't seen since 1987 who didn't, didn't make those decisions. joe biden did last. gas means higher prices, higher prices mean inflation. joe biden has cancelled the keystone excel pipeline. he did it shortly after taking office. he's also been canceling drilling and gas leases, left and right. energy and transportation costs underscore inflation in this country at everything that we buy in biden will not absolutely will not take on the progressives. when it comes to drilling in america, he would rather go prostrate himself over and saudi arabia and can legally reverse himself on his approach to the saudis, hypocritically. before he takes on the progressives as biden reaches out to

countries that of long been targeted for u. s. regime change like iran and venezuela for fuel supplies, many are left scratching their heads. it seems like he's more interested in importing oil from long time foes than allowing american firms to rev up their drills. the democrats say that it's all about going green, but republicans aren't buying what they could buy last year. is way more than now what they could buy this year, and the americans are going backwards in their lives. but yet it's everybody else's fault, except there's former u. s. president donald trump, who would like to return the white house after the 2024 elections is not impressed either with washington's current politics. we have never had anything like what's happened with energy and energy costs. it is no longer energy independent or energy dominant like it was just 2 years ago. it's a nation that is begging vet,

as well as saudi arabia for oil. yet biden always seems to find a way to circle back to russia dodging any personal responsibility or aim. and we would rather have lower gas prices in american and pollutants, iron fist in europe. i don't believe that the economic data just keeps getting worse. democrats are now focusing on guns, abortion, and memories of january sick. meanwhile, many americans are looking in the other direction, increasing pain, and their check books and wallet. at the same time, we've got the, the mid term november election approach. edging ever closer, rti new york us credit rating firm moody's says russia faces default as it's a grace period. for coupon payments has expired. while moscow stands firm calling such claims, absolutely unjustifiable, saying the country has both of the will and the money to pay more if national takes a closer look at the issue lomberg. and later,

most western media were quick to report that russia has defaulted on its foreign debt for the 1st time and more than a century. the reason, at least, according to the mainstream media, is the sanctions have turned moscow into a political and economic pariah. it's a grim marker in the countries rapid transformation into an economic, financial, and political outcast. the nation's euro bonds have traded at distressed levels since the start of march, the central banks, foreign reserves remain frozen. and the biggest banks are severed from the global financial system. and to support their claim, some media have looked back more than 100 years to revisit a long gone iraq. for now, the default is mostly notable for its symbolism as russia's 1st foreign debt default since 1918 reflecting the countries international pariah status and crumbling economy. but it seems that such historical parallels had not quite accurate. back in 1917 following the october revolution, russia saw

a change of power with its new rulers, simply refusing to pay off saris debts, not to mention the fact that back in the present. the harshest economic sanctions ever experienced by russia have failed to smash the country's economy so far. it's certainly interesting that back then foreign bond holler is where among those heath the hardest something the current situation may also repeat with key investors from other countries likely to be the biggest losers who want to ever see their money again. and this time around, according to moscow, russia is fully ready to fulfill its financial obligations while its outstanding sovereign debt. hamilton's to full $2000000000.00. moscow was required to pay back $100000000.00 in interest rates on to euro bonds by monday. and the kremlin and says that payment has been completed in full these statements about to default. their absolutely unjustifiable in this case because the necessary payment was made in may. the fact that you are

a clear withheld that money and did not transfer it to its recipients. is no longer a problem. there is no reason to call the situation of default. so why all the big fos? all right, it's all about put in an even tie to financial squeeze on moscow. they opened this risk for the oil money, but the rest of the transfer not opened and they play that game because they want to do problems wherever they can't. but it's necessarily completely nonsense. and as in this case, the money that especially the interests go to western banks and best and investors. and then they know one to open it for a short time to get their own advantage fulfillment. and it's because they want to do a favor to the,

to the russians. a panel of 13 banks and asset managers asked the us treasury to allow trading and russian assets temporarily. so that investors who wagered on moscow defaulting, can be paid what they're owed. plus the western bank in charge of transacting your bond payments has simply stopped accepting roubles, which was part of most goes turns on return. and it's that clients are no longer allowed to transfer any rob to ng bank. our cash correspondent in moscow, in favor of your euro, clear bank account. it certainly looks like russia is more than ready to give. but it's the west that simply not ready to take. and that is harmon, the foreign debt holders. it's also pushing russia out of the global financial picture, hurricane investors, and depriving businesses of their benefits while some media, a reasonably asking who's actually bearing the brunt. this default is unusual because it's a result of economic sanctions blocking transactions. not because the russian government has run out of money. moscow's finances remain resilient after months of

war. and russia continues to receive a steady influx of cash from sales of oil and gas. still a default would be a stain on the country's reputation that will linger in investors, memories and probably push up its borrowing costs if it is able to tap international capital markets. analysts agree that it's a very rare situation when a government that has the funds to cover its bills, it's been effectively forced into default. but it seems that this is exactly what's happening and rushes far from the only one to be paying the price for it. remember of russian think tank of the council on foreign and defense policy, alexander loss of says the situation is in fact a strategic default of american banks says it's going to go away by cruising there is not difficult

to do not does not refuse to fill this legation to serve a horse, think sufficient amount indoors and all the cars, just through all, all the action taken. and chris went to go to the american banks. i think from their banks, do not so kills negation, to customers and make payments. i think this is the default of american banks. strategic is default is or what, what school reason doesn't get to the finance department. now let's go back to the dumbass, where orphan children in the lugens people's republic are just some of the latest beneficiaries of a russian aid. we are always ready to protect you and help you because there is no

difference between you and us. you are our children to earlier this week, a russian army unit traveled to the town of pear evolved between lugens kenton, yesterday, laden with education supplies, food and candy. of course they also spent time getting to know some care per bosky often has been carrying for many of those who lost their parents in the war of 2014 going further on up the road. the don. yes, could capital has been living under everyday showing for almost a month. now, ortiz roman, coastal, of takes a closer look at the lives of those living there, along with their protectors. we are in the village offices, sola on the outskirts, the city of dun etzky, ukrainian positions are about 250 meters away from where i'm standing, how to day we delivered a humanitarian aid to about a 100 people. in this particular village, i spoke to

a local activists. the man says he could not gather everybody here because it's really dangerous for everyone to gather in one place. so what we're going to do, we're going to leave us some of the foods here. that's bread. sounds good. so hygienic items and people will come out here when it's safe and collect their rations. and now let's hear from this man here about the situation on the ground. he was wounded himself several times. my again the your stories go what you need me. i don't want to put people in danger. there is shelling every day. why you people are afraid to leave their houses. god forbid if something bad happens. how will i look people in the eye? i don't want to put them in danger by what is a vassily? the highlander? sure lives are right on the front line. his house was hit several times by the ukrainian artillery shelling. he's got

a collection of shells and fragments that's landed in his garden yet, shall i production not yesterday was the only day. there were almost no shelling she knew it's been impossible to even poke your nose out of your door. that's been our way of life for the last 8 years. twice projectiles landed right in front of my house. doors were continued delivering humanitarian aid to the residence of the outskirts of the city of funds, and ask about a 150 people live in this particular place. this is right next to done that scott airport and also not far from the her positions of the ukrainian and nationalists. now, all these people, they've been of an answer ukrainian shelling for the last 8 years. and obviously the shelling had intensified over the last 4 months. nevertheless, so they are saying that they don't want to leave their area of residence and

so they're waiting for this escalation to be over. these are some of their stories to what you loretta filled with the city has suffered. massive shelling got a shell us every single day, literally every day. now it's funny, but i lose signal. it's social for her lady. what should i say? just have a look at the city. is there a shell crate is everywhere, buildings damage. we've been hoping that it will end for the last 8 years, but it is only getting worse. we are now on the front line on the outskirts of the city of dennis, on the positions of the sparta reconnaissance battalion. the legendary battalion has been defending the city of the nest for the last 8 years, and they have been taking position from position from the ukrainian army right now . they are defending the borders of the nest can are just, are waiting to move further to free the rest of the nest people's republic. right now i'm going to talk to one of the fighters of this parsa battalion to tell me

about the current situation here on the ground for a junior commercial church. they are shelling the civilian infrastructure projectiles, destroy maternity, hospitals, schools, new buildings and civilians, yacoma school. they are just destroying our city in before they tried to hit us and destroy our positions, but now they just targeting civilians. we are finding out where their positions are and wiping him out. so we are currently in the line of fire and the shooting continues right now and we have to keep distance between me and this. this soldier snipers are right on that side. and we have to cross this stretch of the road very quickly. we made it and god well working here on the front line with the sports on that sat in the shilling had intensified. ukrainian positions are not that far away and hopefully they haven't seen our arrival because they've been known to targets russian journalists.

we are currently hiding in this to make sure bomb shelter and the military told us that we can probably leave very soon as soon as the coast is clear from on costs or have r t, the people's republic. the g 7 summit is coming to a close after 2 days of discussions with no significant commitments so far, which cannot be said for the bricks of summit, which ended one week ago, the communist see the meeting of bricks, countries, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa as extremely promising as its collective g d p growth exceeds that of elite g 7 economies. that's quite a feat as the population of bricks, nations, amounts to more than 3000000000 people. that's around 300 percent larger than the population of g 7 countries. and that number is now expected to increase as argentina and iran have formerly applied it to join according to russia's foreign

ministry spokeswoman. now, when it comes to matters of event expense, well, there's a vast difference there as well. the bricks summit hardly cost anything as it was held via video conference. that's in direct contrast to the opulence of the g 7 meeting. the g 7 summit was held in the bavarian alps in 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. but media reports say that the real price was closer to 200000000 a g camara job. a research editor at india today says that despite the g 7 grand rhetoric we are witnessing the end of its dominance. so in the last 40 years, the g 7 has really split down. it has basically become much weaker than it used to be in terms of foreign policy. it still has

a very poor water mentality. it sort of looks down on the whole sort of brick developing world, you know, about a $188.00 countries, almost unrepresented in the g 7. it's the irony is that the g 7 doesn't want. the mock is to stay open. it's the power or leg by the bricks, which ones the market still stay open in the g 7 countries that people sort of end up. busy busy consuming enormous amount in terms of footprint and others. whereas in the developing world, we are much more environment daily effects to we manage with less resources. so we are talking about and, or donate the ecosystem, which is very attractive for the rest of the words. now the bodies of 46 dead migrants have been found in a trucks trailer, in the u. s. state of texas. the states governor has blamed us president calling the death

a deadly consequence of biden's open border policy. these deaths are on biden. they are a result of his deadly open border policies. they show the deadly consequences of his refusal to enforce the law. officers arrived at the scene and the city of san antonio after a local worker heard a cry for help. on opening the trailer, they discovered 16 other people, including 4 children, suffering various states of heat related illness, alongside the debt temperatures are understood to have reached $39.00 degrees celsius. that's 102.2 degrees fahrenheit in the area, although it will have been far hotter inside the trailer compartment, 3 people were taken into custody and police are carrying out an investigation at this time. or that does it for me this hour. stay with us though throughout the day as we bring you more news and commentary, this is our to international. but have you with us?

ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have treat ethan foundation, let it be an arms race. is an offense, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with

oh, i worry, let me start and i had a few missions there. and while i met a guy that fought against the soviets, then he told me it was such a pleasure to fight with you because you fought, honestly. we saw your soldiers, we fought against those. you fought against us directly. at the same time you were building hospitals, schools and all this stuff bought those americans. we even do not seeing them the bomb bus from somewhere from out of space. and that seat full stop. oh bmw

ah with shimmer that's out with no lou, but he started to study of colombia. he will steal mama will follow you use a . 2 2 2 2 with

ah, assisting a fiance of thought to meet you must have. yeah. so she did such a but she doesn't watch a bit of the g. b a full size because of the boys more lives unless they ship or thinking it some might say 70 years is a reasonable life. i pretty much one that baby full of of, and both happy or sad older ups and downs me. but i missed opportunities and glorious achievement, misty in the historic, centrally 70 years. his new alley and instantly ag edition, you were unit. vtc july 13th marks that 70th anniversary of events, the meaning and significance of which still debated in both poland. and if you
