the, the russian lead forces say they are squeezing the troops from, with a chance, forcing them to retreat piece in our team. crew looks exclusively at how moscow's military is operating into 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 more take on the progressive when it comes to drilling in america. us a 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 servicing the broadcasting live direct for our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest on the war and ukraine, according to god's ca, 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 ukraine army now appears to be blocked from the north after key of troops retreated from civil done yes. and also from the south, which has allowed the lu ganske army to surround it with the chance which is eager

to don off got exclusive access to see how russian and allied forces have been operating in the ganske was ukrainian. now, a russian trophy weapon the soviet made the 60 poor thank was successfully thinking bought in the v nazi vacation operations just outside the vows o r t u m of it's literally seconds until it's about to fi. it was 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 keith. since then, for months now, it has been taking part in the denazi's fine operations embedded with rushes.

special forces, though much, melinda. this is our little baby. we took it from the craney national gardener, key f a t 64 b v take. does it 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 and we can work with it. the most important thing is that a works for car. ah, as the russian forces advance in the don't boss, 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, lucon, sk officials have said that all civilians chopped in the as not chemical plantains ever done yet have now been evacuated. that's after the cities. industrial zone came under full control of dumbass 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. yeah, i'm happy that you came home. this is the most important thing. we lived in hell for 4 months on the road, we lived together there. we tried to help each other with food and did everything we could actually, 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. like you see need you to hit . we powered lights from potatoes. we also had small flashlights, but we used them very sparingly, so we learned to walk in the dark. done yet, sc authorities say in the last 24 hours residential areas of the republic have been heavily shelled by give. 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 daniel capital and in the central ukrainian city of cram and 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. king of 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. the 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 a focus of attention on ukraine before nato summit. nato's chief has announced a massive increase in the number of combat ready nato troops. calling russia a major threat to western security of the appointment comes ahead of the blogs summit. this week it will transform the nato response force. i'm increase the number of our high read 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 of racial behavior. earlier, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of madrid, where the summit will take place. meg 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 it 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 nice homes 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 i was he means the best we can see quite clearly that who, who is leading the aggression. hey, this is there's been some expansion east 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

a piece. it's not interested in dialogue. they're prepared to carry on their war of aggression. i think we should try to spell any missed that night. so is a defensive. an alliance is not an aggressive minute. she will be she while the u. s. face is record high inflation, the white house blames everyone except itself for america's internal problems. that is, despite biden cancelling offshore drilling and ghastly, says left and right. as r t is caleb martin. comments. as u. s. inflation keeps climbing, jo biden's, popularity keeps thinking, the rate of inflation in united states is just surpassed a 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. 2 tens invasion of ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. 70 percent of the increase in price is 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. u. s. 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, who 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, and everything that we buy in biden will not absolutely will not take on the progresses. 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, hippa, critically, before he takes on the progressives, as biden reaches out to countries that have long been targeted for u s regime change like iran in 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 here is way more than now what they can buy this year and, and the americans are going backwards in their lives. but yet it's everybody else's fault except their former us 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. and 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 prudence, 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 checkbooks and wallet. at the same time, we've got the mid term november election approach entering ever closer. and r t 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 notional takes a closer look at the issue, longer are going 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 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 country's international prior status and crumbling economy. but it seems that such historical parallels had not quite accurate. back in 1917 following the acc toby 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 certainly interesting that back then foreign bond holders were among those heap, the hardest something the current situation may also repeat with keen, vaster is from other countries, the 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 amounts to $40000000000.00. moscow was required to pay back $100000000.00 in interest rates on to euro bonds by monday. and the cram, lennon says the payment has been completed in full. these statements about to default are absolutely unjustifiable in this case because the necessary payment was made in may. the fact that you are a clue 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 open this, vist for the oil money, but the rest of the transfer, it's 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 now want 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 in 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 transaction euro bond payment 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 rub to ing bank or 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, that holders. it also pushes russia out of the global financial picture curtain investors and deprive in 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 to say it's going to go by cruising over there is not difficult to do not does not refuse to feel this legation will serve as a force think sufficient amount and or

some other cars just through all all the action taken. and chris want to go to the american banks. i think from their banks, do not pills allegation to customers and make payments. i think this is the default of american megs because default is for what school reason and doesn't get to the financial or tomorrow. now let's go back to the dumbass, where orphan children in the lugens, the people's republic are just some of the latest beneficiaries of russian aid. but 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 parabolic can between lugens kenton. yesterday, later with education supplies, food and candy. of course they also spent time getting to know some of the last few orphanage has been carrying for many of those who lost their parents in the war of 2014. going further on up the road to be done. yet capital has been living under everyday showing for almost a month. now ortiz roman, coastal, 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 de anesco, ukrainian positions are about 250 meters away from where i'm standing here today. 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 food here. that's bread tins, goods, 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 gotten a jo. are studies go at yelling. i don't want to put people in danger. there is shelling every day. 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. i want 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 forgot you about 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. we continued delivering humanitarian aid to the residence of the outskirts of the city of dun 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 positions of the ukrainian and nationalists. now all these people, they've been living under ukrainian shelling for the last 8 years and obviously the shelling had intensified over the last 4 months. nevertheless. and they are saying that they don't want to leave their area of residence and so they're waiting for vis escalation to be over. these are some of their stories to what you want at a fit of it. the city has suffered massive shelling. got

a shell us every single day. literally every day. now it's funny. but other sienna lit social for her lady. what should i say? don't just have a look at the city. is there a shell crate is everywhere, buildings damage to be. 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 done as can are just are waiting to move further to free the rest of the nest people's republic right now, 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, yukon 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. god, well working here on the front line with the sports on that sat in the shelling 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 nation 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 brick 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 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 jeep c'mon, jar 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 slid down. it has basically become much weaker than it used to be in terms of foreign policy. it still has a very poor the water mentality. it sort of looks down on the whole and sort of

break the developing world, you know, about a $188.00 countries, almost unrepresented in the g 7. it's the news that the g 7 doesn't one, the mock is to stay open. it's the power water led by the bricks which ones the markets to 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 billy effects to we manage with less resources. so we are talking about the, or don't 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 dead. temperatures are understood to have reached 39 degrees celsius. that's 102.2 degrees fahrenheit in the area. now though 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 ah

ah ah ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah ah yeah. busy hold on to just to laughs, come yaki she calls steve your keys in one of the valet shirts pumped on each box with plenty of new. caught a grace community on how to respond on the score a quality of the not sure how the exterior, who's your comes up with a casual way, a yellow. are you only looking for a bundle of movies,

a couple of those to some of them with a huge to meet with or different products like you know, some screw also don't focus a lot of fish, not just got it for us to talk with chris young explain it is early with ashley if you follow me really, a little partition of us marcenough assist me with this absolute mapping, after splitting it over my outside molecular. and the reason why it's taking a lot of new initiatives, road shooting out in the crowd. or jour changed to look national. hey, skill crisis in just a small deal. it just seems to be like

a tech subway. different. don't you say you dog or do you not see the blue book, gray and stuck moscow clearly admitted to it, which an upper snap. i see it's almost done with students, not grains cannot old, but almost the last bill won't. i'm with up with the on your own to numerous which new years the commune to get totally put your search to work hours are pretty new to share your figures, changing the stories, calling you to lose the nation with miss stokes. in corona, coca pro scheduled with my me. and so what i was thinking, mr. thanks to use that he should be upset with because that there's 2 more evenly nick, a delay greens. go post a tips peach. it's also worth noting that the mass slaughter of poles was not limited to a single location no time.
