office companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. with turkey agrees to admit finland and sweden to nato, lifting its opposition and green lighting the blocks. enlargements something russia considers a red line a blaze out of ukrainian shopping balls park debates to add an emergency leading of the un security council with claiming moscow targeted the building. russia meanwhile, assures that the center called fire after it targeted ukrainian ammunition stockpile nearby. with

that news for joe biden with the french president revealing that some arab states will not be able to pump enough extra oil to help western countries with kathy live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now. turkey has agree to to lift opposition, to sweden and finland, joining nato. the 3 countries leaders signed a trilateral deal in which tricky green lights. the admission in return for assurances finland and sweden will stop support for kritisha forces are considered to be terrorists. now, the nato chief marked the breakthrough as a big step to further confine russia and didn't miss the chance to poke moscow all present. it is getting more neutral on these borders. so what he gets is the

opposite, what he actually demanded and uncles to natal to closer to source. we are domestic and natal stores are made for his or her from one to some joint live in the studio by our correspondence shrouded jablonsky. charlotte, this is a big deal. this is a big step, considering it goes against one of russia's main red lines. has there been any global reaction to this move so far? yes, a has, i mean, also see what we've seen is nato has been expanding eastward since the alliance is formed back in 1949. if you look at the map 1st, we saw this big push after the cold war with this expansion that saw the russian or clave of callan god being in circles. later we saw more baltic states then joining which meant that they were right up to the russian border with the nato alliance. what we will see now with this new expansion at which is due to happen, but sickly with finland, which as a board of around 1300 kilometers with russia,

is that basically nato is absolutely on russia's doorstep. now, moscow has said repeatedly, this is a red flag, it sees this is being a form of aggression. so you can imagine that russia is not going to be very happy with that. the result of turkey changing its mind here. it also sounds a little bit from that clip of the nato secretary general as stilton boat, that is kind of egging on the crumbling a little bit sort of saying, you know, look at what we've done. you said sort of poking. and that's certainly one suggestion that you get from that, and russia is not the only country that is concerned about an expansion of the nato alliance. china based close attention to nature's adjustment to his strategic concept and his deeper concerns about his policies implications. we urged nato to learn his lessons and not to use the crisis in ukraine as an excuse to escalate worldwide confrontation or to create

a new cold war. no, nita says it's doing this to strengthen its alliance, but some will be questioning at what cost. now turkey has been the lynchpin here, right? they have had some serious demands on this. they wanted to make sure that they offer one of their, against certain groups, the kurdish parties mainly who they considered terrorists. who are these groups and why is tricky so adamant against them? well, what's been signed his this trilateral memorandum, where sweden and finland have offered some assurances to turkey over these sorts of groups. they say that they will continue to support turkey against threats against its national security. now we're talking about groups like the p k, k, which turkey considers to be a terrorist group, sweden and finland of re phone that they also see it as being a prescribed terrorist group. the p k. k is actually a kurdish group that has been fighting for independence. the kurds down in the

southeast of turkey is been an ongoing as civil war in turkey since the and 19 eighties between the group and the turkish government. then we move on to other kurdish groups. these are the y, p g and the p y d. now the y p g is actually quite important because it's been a bone of contention between ankara and some weston allies in nato for the past few years, particularly the u. s. and that's because the y p g actually took part in that u. s. coalition. at lead operation in syria against islamic state, and turkey has really been uneasy about that in the past. so these are important assurances, sweden and finland have also said that they will look at any pending extradition requests for any tara suspects who really turkey getting what it said it wanted out of these deals. the kurds, however, might feel as if they've been betrayed by countries, particularly like sweden that have given them sort of unlimited support in the past

. and now out, the final plan hasn't yet been a read. we expect to get back up this summit image rate, but the reality is we are still waiting for that key reaction from russia. nato has consistently talked over the last few months about the importance of keeping a lid on the ukranian conflict, making sure that it doesn't expand past ukraine's. buddha's question is now whether russia will see this is being the exact opposite of that indeed. and as the world will be watching this, especially in europe and well, it is a hot button topic and we know that you'll be staying across it for us. thanks for that code davinsky. now, for more live to can stone from the hamilton coalition to stop the war movement. nato claims that, with the latest expansion rush has got the opposite of what it demands. what response to do now expect from russia to this news? do you expect even further confrontation?

i expect that russia will continue to say what has been saying all along that nato should rollback. it's expansion. it's western word expansion. i'm sorry, it's eastward expansion towards russia because i back in the 199091 natal leaders gave an assurance to gorbachev. they wouldn't expand one inch eastward of a reunited germany, and of course they lied and they have expanded 800 kilometers, taken in 14 former warsaw pact states and former soviet republics. and we have to understand that from the russian point of view and from our point of view, even in here in canada, nato is an aggressive military alliance. and nato is responsible for dismembering the yugoslavian federation. nato is responsible for 20 years of horrible war in afghanistan is responsible for the destruction of libya and it's turning it into

a failed state. so that the russian government looks at nato and says, and now they're cobbling together, even a bigger gang of thieves. a group of countries that have destroyed other countries in the 3rd world and the global so in order to steal their resources and in slave their populations. and from the russian point of view this, that the accession of finland and sweden to nato is increasing the danger to russia of an attack, an attack that can't be foreseen that the, that makes it makes it difficult or impossible for russia to have any advanced warning of any nuclear attack and therefore they are the, the, the turned of nuclear weapons is speaker is rendered useless. so it becomes,

it brings us closer and closer to a, to the unthinkable. because nato has a 1st strike policy. it has a nuclear policy, and it's in the process of planting missile systems, aggressiveness, our systems and armaments in countries in eastern europe, which threatened russia. and the russians know that the game plan as we have seen in ukraine, is to turn all these countries into nato. countries with the intention of bringing natal right up to the russian border and doing to russia what it did to the u. s. lobby and federation. well, can you bring up a good point there? russia has frequently said that nato expansion is one of the main reasons for its operation in ukraine. but now we're seeing more expansion. what is nato's goal here? native, the end goal of nato is to, ah, how the u. s. in its hedge

a monic drive to dominate the world. and we see in ukraine, that fact that nato, i'm with the help of canada. in fact, canada, it's become openly known through the new york times article, the other day. canada has special forces in ukraine right now. which means canada is de facto at war with russia. we're demonstrating across the country this week because we have a lot of canada wide days of action to protest the nato's proxy war in ukraine and to protest nato summit in madrid. the goal of nato is to dismember russia and the better to gobble up its parts. and that's, we think that nato should be should have been dissolved back in 199991. when the soviet union dissolved itself. instead,

it has gone on the warpath for the past 30 years, destroying countries around the world and expanding its nuclear umbrella of width and eating up the resources of the world at a time when we should all be cooperating to face that climate crisis. how instead, where countries of the world, including canada are spending more and more on arms. now the 2 countries, finland and sweden, they had to make some concessions to turkey. turkey was the lynchpin here to become nato members. are these concessions a big deal in your opinion? they're a big deal to turkey because these are, these were important issues to turkey, the lifting of the arms restrictions, the extradition of kurdish terrorists in those 2 countries. the chance to for the turkish government meant to put

a stop to there. there rebel of force under the banner of mr. milan and all these things are important to turkey. but it's like a, it's like a gang of thieves negotiating about amongst themselves. a lot of secret side. the not secret but private side deals in order to, to bring this loose coalition out of thieves and land destroyers into one body where they don't all agree on, on, on much and to saber rattle against russia. 10 stone from the hamilton coalition to stop for more. very interesting to hear your thoughts, a good conversation there. thanks for being with us. you're welcome. ok, let's move on to the latest on the war in ukraine. a child has been killed and 3 people injured in ukrainian forces showing of no via car. however,

car that's according to care. san authorities who say that of the 4 touched you. missiles fired 3 were intercepted by russian air defenses. ukrainian forces are also reported to have shelled us in a lot payoff. indeed. and yet the people's republic, according to authorities, can grad rockets were fired at the city and the village of novel, but moved to the car and got a loaf car city where its suburbs were also targeted. meanwhile, in new ganske authority, se ukrainian forces opened fire on the city of brianca, where several residential buildings and a power line were damaged. they claims that the incident was the 1st time kia had used. the u. s. donated highmore as m r. s in the region. meanwhile, he did v as the un security council meeting, where western diplomats are investigating exactly what happened at the shopping mall on territory under ukraine's control have claimed,

at least 18 people died there after russian missile strikes. while moscow says it didn't target, the facility rushes, defense ministry has said that the building caught fire after ammunition stockpiled by ukraine's military. just 70 meters away exploded after a russian strike. but ukrainian officials claimed that moscow intended to target the mall a russian representative. the un has related moscow's position to the council. i dishes susan's over lilian, you the am star shopping center was not affected by this choice as it was some distance away. and this can be seen on the surveillance video. hidden them all with me styles would have destroyed it. a video from ukraine and bloggers shows that goes inside the shopping center were not affected by blast. neighbor and house is to the shopping center. we're also not affected. their windows were not broken, which would have only been possible if the missile exploded at a considerable distance from the area. we have not targeted civilian infrastructure

and are not doing it now. summer when he does his job or let's cross live it to our correspondent killed martin. now caleb, can you talk us through what's happening at the meeting? sure. now, as you just heard, that was the russian deputy ambassador and dressing a meeting of the un security council. and pointing out that essentially the united states needs to get over the t g widely felt in the united states and other countries about ukraine and justify piling more weapons and money into ukraine in order to prolong the fight against russia. and they want to prolong this conflict as long as they possibly can, though the populations are quite weary of it and it's economic results. and that's why we have a situation of more and more fake news going out across mainstream western media. for example, you cited the ghost story that was widely debunk the snake i one story that was widely debunked. and now he pointed to this latest example where there was

merchandise inside of this mall that was well intact. and it's very clear that russia did not target this mall. rather they targeted something else. there were explosion that a fire that resulted from the armaments that were being stored and, and the mall was effected. the russia clearly did not target this more. now. they went over many other allegations that have been made against russia at the un security council for yankee. did a very good job, just refuting point 51 of the buildings and pointing out the western media. and you had bodies seem to be routinely ignoring the fact that russia provides russia, provides a lot of documentation to back up what points out about the conflict, new brain and western media simply chooses to ignore it. now the meeting began with albania, as a rotating member of the un security council, giving a platform to ukrainian president the lensky zelinski made a point of calling russia a terrorist date and saying that some kind of. ready rules should be added to the

un charter so that russia could be removed from the security council. after that, we heard from the representative of the united states that largely echoed the hostile language being pushed against russia by ukraine and other countries. here's what the u. s. representative said that russia's war of choice has led directly to the destruction of crowded malls, grocery stores, theatres, hospitals, and schools, and the innocent civilians inside them and make no mistake. deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian objects constitute war crimes. the united states supports all international investigations into these crimes, including those being conducted by the i, c, c, the u. n. and the o s. c. now it's important to note you just heard the us representative saying that the united states supports the international criminal court in looking into these allegations against russia. but it's worth noting that the united states is not a member of the international criminal court. and furthermore,

in 2020 the united states imposed sanctions on the international criminal court because it was daring to look into the crimes of us troops in afghanistan. so it seems like the usa invoking the international criminal court in these circumstances is a little bit laughable. and filled with hypocrisy, but the un security council meeting concluded essentially with members the security council, not agreeing with each other. china called for call men and seemed to not be echoing the claims put forward by the united states and allied countries attacking russia. so it was quite a meeting and it's not really going to lead to any, anything clear. this is yet another meeting that serves almost a seattle purpose inside the un headquarters. right? our teeth, caleb mob, been there for us, keeping track of the u. n. in the states, push it, that number of kids and the west have unanimously dubbed the incident at the mall a war crime, despite russia's denial. that's a field in which western powers have caused more than their fair share of

controversy, or to use don quarter comments on why. according to moscow, it was the massive explosion caused by all that ammunition going off at the same time that made the nearby mall catch fire as well. on top of that, the ukrainian cities mayor is saying that the malls management for some reason decided it wasn't going to shut the place down. if the air raid alarms started to go off, neglect or re to loads is a crime which the target ams to has. once again, demonstrated an investigation has route that the administration of hamster had announced on the 23rd of june, that the mo would no longer be closed during the air rate alerts. if a high precision missile dealt that much damage to nearby infrastructure, imagined the destruction that an artillery bombardment would have wrought, according to a previous conclusion by the international criminal court, russia should be well within its rights to bomb a 70 meter radius around and the legend military target, why,

while there is the case of antic tova and blood and markovich to former croatian generals who were acquitted of war crimes by the skin of their teeth. at 1st, these western backed military men were found guilty of indiscriminately bombing towns as part of an offensive that killed $116.00 civilians and displaced hundreds of thousands in 1995 in the middle of the yugoslav wars the hague. originally decided that bombarding beyond the 200 meter radius of a military target was outside the bounds of reasonable error. it was only after they appealed the ruling that the hague determined that 200 meters was in fact too strict. and so the croatian generals were led off the hook despite the fact that they had ordered the bombings of civilian populated areas up to 700 meters away from military targets. the appeals chamber unanimously found that the child chamber erred in concluding that all are tillery impact size, located more than 200 meters from a target seems legitimate,

served as evidence of unlawful attacks the trial chamber ers, in fighting that as hillary attacks ordered by mr. gov tova and mr. mawkish were unlawful. so russia being accused of a war cry after causing collateral damage 70 meters away from what it says was a military target, but western back to potential war criminals get away. scotch, free for bombing civilians, 700 meters away. not only are the double standards, glaringly obvious here, but it also begs a couple questions. why in the world would ukraine place military infrastructure that close to a shopping mall? and why was the mall allowed to be opened in the 1st place? unless the authorities were trying to use civilians as human shields, the french president has been caught off guard breaking some rather bad news to his u. s. counterpart in a hot mike incident menu, mac wrong is heard telling joe biden, that arab nations won't be able to produce more oil for at least 6 months. putting a damper on western efforts to lower their record to energy prices.

a with one with the full 6 with ocean with there is no better way to draw attention to yourself than to run up to the president of the united states yelling joe joe, and then start whispering when there are cameras around. not co new very well that

he wasn't at a private party and that there were cameras around. so what's that old adage, if you want people to pay attention to what you're saying? just start whispering, right? so here in france, raise talking about it. it makes you wonder if that was the intent. so who was president michael's audience and what did he want us to understand? obviously, europe is facing an energy crisis in supply problems. but chancellor schultz is out there denouncing the same fossil fuels that you countries desperately need. ms. and i know we do have to realize of course, that the future does not lying gas. this is very particular for germany, and this is something that is going to have an impact on the use of fossil fuel, sort of coal and gas fargo. so he says, germany sky chair doesn't lay in gas. well, i guess than it lays in realistically and dirty coal since germany just fired up cold plants. again, out of desperation,

germany industry is sounding the alarm over and over again about a gas emergency. and it economy minister is warning of industry shut down amid gas shortages as of last week. the country is now in phase 2 of 3 of its emergency gas plan. and what that means is a high risk of gas shortages through the winter time. now the federal regulator has said that these scenarios are quote, not pretty and mean either to little gas at the end of winter, or in or already very difficult situations in autumn or winter. now in germany, b s f is one of the world's largest chemical producers, and it makes products found and things like tooth paste, automobiles, madison's and it relies on cheap russian gas. and the wall street journal just had a piece about this. but schultz, chancellor schultz is dreaming only in green way above him. we will also expand

renewable energies and work even more intensively illness. the decisions that we have taken show that financing fossil fuel energy sources is something that needs to come to an end to the end. so german industries aren't the only ones that are cutting their gas usage in anticipation of shortfalls. european industries are as well. and despite that, chancellor schultz is really pushing ahead with his climate club, which he wants to stand up among the g 7 before the end of the year. and everything is green, green green when in reality they are taking huge steps backwards in anticipation of an energy crunch. mohammed off sub, on a former senior adviser to saudi arabia's energy minister says that the use chaotic energy policies and it's sanctions against russia, have caused prices to sor. the reason for the high price is not the supply demand or sure supply shortages. the

chaos that the european union is in with regards to its energy policies. they are not taking that decisions. they are follow in the united states and they are not even subjecting all of these proposals that be rising from the united say to the cost benefit analysis. what kind of cars not on the economic leave, but also politically, they are not. they are in total chaos they are, they don't know what to do. and we have seen mr. short to show that when would be independent varies, varies so on. and they cannot wear that it is organ or gas. this is a reality that they need to take into account. this is the barbarian sanctioned, that there was, is use it. and now whenever the russians react to the sense and

they say when this is unacceptable, etc, etc. and they forgot about their, their sanctions. so i think it will take some time before we see prizes go down the selecting the calmness of the geo political fact that this. and i think if, if today they abandon the sanction, then probably another 4 to 6 months before right of status. so civilized at the lower, livid that does it for me, this are i will be back in $32.00 and a half minutes with another full fresh look to stay with us. this is our to international. glad with ah ah

ah, the wes sanctions on russia are distorting in damaging the global economy. consumers all over the world are experiencing higher prices and shortages. at the same time, most of the global south has little interest in the west campaign against russia. and in the long run, they benefit from a world economy in transition ah,

[000:00:00;00] with me hello wealth which was apart. if you look at the portrayal of russia in western papers from the 19th century onwards, almost invariably presented as a crude, barbaric power. ready to main, gobbled destroy without scruples or hesitation. the conflict in ukraine seems to have enhanced that image even further, at least in the perception of western audiences. does it make sense to even try to clear russians name? to discuss that i'm now joined by you have any remark or had a roster to me just brushes agency for international humanitarian corporation. it's a prima conference,

a great pleasure to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. now. your agency has a rather long title and a broad mandate. so to help our audiences understand what you do and how you do it, how is your agency different from us 8, which is perhaps your biggest reaches competitor? well, it's fairly much difference. in fact, you know, even not taking into consideration the loan dean before it goes 8 years, is much shorter and more user friendly. i want to follow english speaking audience . could you even pronounce that also through? well, this is the part of the exposure to the russian culture. oh yes. so it is much, much larger in terms of budgeting, 1st of all, and then they have that function of international development. not of very much of
