it aggressively expands, and that expansion is to regulate russia and it's clients that ukraine is losing a war. nato actively supports, essentially, nato has decided to double down on failure. the in goodwill gesture, russia says it has hold its troops from ukraine, snake island to facilitate the un backed export of rain. cutting off gives speculation on the global food crisis. we must not promote a famine. that's the message from the pakistani foreign minister. as she urges the u. s to unfreeze, i've got a sense assets amid a severe economic crisis. what's next to poor nato, as it's summit wraps up with the block, reading china strategic priority for the 1st time. and russia being labeled

a significant threat to put the blocks evolving strategy for discussion. what is happening is actually hybrid was conducted by natal against russia. ukraine is nothing less than an extension of nato's military power. the idea here was to contain russia and my goal was to go for the big price, which is china. and lurching from one set back to another. the pentagon is scrambling to feel its worst recruitment drive in decades while the latest us hypersonic missile tests and up in failure. the news broadcasts direct from our studios moscow. this is our international and john thomas is certainly glad to have you with us. first, let's begin with the latest developments in the war in ukraine where russian and lucas forces are advancing on campus positions in the republic. city of lucy chance

can of forces low to key of have been driven out of the cities, oil refinery and a rubber factory. this is according to the lugens people's republican bester, who added that all significant roads in the area are also now under control. however, fierce battles continue elsewhere in the city with more than $300.00 ukrainian soldiers now reported killed while another $500.00, including foreign mercenaries have been observed abandoning the city or cheese you could have done of such as this report from the front line. ah, this was ukraine's penultimate lodge stronghold in the la guns republic. and these are exclusive, previously unreleased shots of how it was overtaken by the russians here and in the neighboring villages. they met the resistance, not only of ukraine's regular army,

but also foreign mercenaries. you're almost our little busy, but you did not look i think from least lines the enemies waiting for us to enter from here. but what do we need to do? firstly, we don't yet know what is in these areas where trip wires are waiting to explode. so during the night, these areas will be examined by intelligence groups. so we'll go from east to west and here from north to south. after checking the territory and secure and here will close the flank along with the total number of foreign max here was estimated, at least in the hundreds soldiers of misfortune. lifeless bodies of some of them were left at the battle fields. some were captured like las polish colonel august sub i showed i knew it was done, but i own a lawyer. i knew lawyer should. i knew that he wasn't. ah,

i didn't thought i did or so did. i mean, i'm a butcher chavonee with all of the appellate i, on ukraine, moon prisoners of war taken here to go over how they've been treated by their command. admittedly, possibly under duress, primo, why should about her in captivity, and out in your positions. there. nothing is clear there, the commanders are not doing anything. can you explain to her fellow soldiers that if they surrender, how will they be treated at times better than their the remaining foreign guns for hire? those who survived, at least they ran out of this place, ran out of the town of several minutes, crossing this river and into the town of least chance, which is very clearly visible behind me. as are the plumes of smoke that are occasionally rising above its sky. like the battle for the town is still ongoing, and the russians are already partly in control of that place. amish done of

reporting from the don bass front line. our c. moscow has withdrawn its troops from snake island, a strategic point in the black sea seas by russian forces. when the conflict erupted. in late february, russia says that the move is an act of good will to support un efforts to facilitate ukrainian grain exports to the global market. so it's not the, you know, russian armed forces completed their assigned tasks on snake island and withdrew their garrison from there on june 30th. there's a gesture of goodwill. thereby, we are showing to the global community that russia is not hindering un efforts to organize a humanitarian corridor to transport agricultural goods from ukrainian territory. to this decision will not allow the key of to speculate about an impending food crisis by saying it's impossible to transport grain due to russia's total control of the northwestern part of the black sea island is located close to t shipping lanes, and is near to the major part of our desa experts. note that it's convenient location makes it possible to control air and sea space from the territory. key of

had claimed that russia's control of the area was an obstacle to ukrainian grain exports. supply chain disruption was one of the main topics between the russian and indonesian presidents in talks in moscow. on thursday, the indonesian president fresh from a trip to give, so that he had come up with a message from his ukrainian counterpart, but neither side provided details shall go we, dodo, the current g 20 chairman, also expressed readiness to serve as a mediator in the ukraine conflict, although the main focus fell on the global food crisis. when you're done by your goal is to both your off. we have repeatedly emphasize putting global free market disruption was caused by many years and responsible macro economic policies that are conducted by a number of countries that have used to let the fall to their policy. the sanctions imposed against russian impala, russian exports of brain and fertilizers have only further the stable situation. she'll be gone for the situation and food and her tonight is class, which is

a very important guys for the global community and hundreds of millions of suffering. going to college, the disruption of and i appreciate the fact that president bush and said that russia guarantee was safe supply of fertilizers from russia, but also from ukraine. pakistan's foreign minister has urged western countries to lift sanctions on galveston, where millions of people are on the verge of famine. the tele bonds return to power last year lead to the wrapped end of for the financial aid. despite the us previously forking out massive sums during its occupation of the country. how is it that 3 trillion dollars were spent on the war? but today there is not even $10000000000.00 for the survival of afghans. i don't understand this in the current situation, it is not a good idea to continue to starve afghanistan and risk and economic implosion that . and that is exactly what will happen if the country remains locked out of

international banking and it's foreign assets remain frozen. we must not promote a famine. the west hard line stance on the new telephone government has helped fuel as simmering economic crisis in afghanistan with the countries financial sector, particularly hard hit after the us for $7000000000.00 worth of it's overseas assets . us has repeatedly called for western aid for i've kind of stand while warning of a looming humanitarian disaster. with more than half of the country's population of $40000000.00 people said to be facing acute hunger. earlier this week, washington pledged to provide some $55000000.00 in humanitarian aid to have got to stand. however, some critics are saying that's a drop in the ocean compared to how much money of the us and its allies spent funding their 20 year occupation of the country that ended in chaos last august as the nato back government collapse. just days after western troops left, we heard from us, if durante, pakistan's, former envoy to the u, a. e and t. ron, who says that the severe crisis in afghanistan directly affects its neighbors in

particular, pakistan as well as the immediate neighbors ones have been telling them to unseat that hours of rooms, then $1000000000.00. and he's going to is that right now? why son is pleasing to meditate and basis almost 95 percent of the people are below our to live people selling their needs and also selling the children. so this kind of situation has come up and, and we are worried because the major trust is out there was they will head towards so he didn't to, to asian. in fact, something happened in the one. so immediate neighbors will be affected. the major, especially britton's prime minister,

has touched on the controversial subject of the falkland islands with john teen his leader in what he called a frank exchange. he compared to the inhabitants right to determine their future with ukrainian crisis. the sovereignty of those who live on the islands remains a tough subject with both london and when us aris claiming that they own the area relations have been at turbulence since the 2 countries for the short war in 1982 over the islands, more than 8000 miles from the u. k, which britain, one in the 10 weeks of fighting, almost 1000 soldiers died. horace johnson claimed that the u. k. had vindicated falkland inhabitants. right. to be british. i just said it had been 40 years since the u. k. had vindicated the principle that falkland islanders should have the right to determine their future under basic diplomatic principles and have the right to be british. i made the point, we were spending a lot of our time talking about ukraine, where the principle at stake was the right of sovereign independent people to

determine their future. they, boris johnson shows the pure historical hypocrisy, the united kingdom in using terms and examples the completely contradict each of us to say that the people of falcons, whose territory they occupied have the right to self determination. according to the principles of democracy is a real deception. we all know that the code and population beforehand islands was settled in the past. inhabitants who all keep on the same lamps were completely expelled by the military forces of the british occupation. in 18. 33 people from argentina were never allowed to return to these territories. this is not the same as what is happening in the dumbass, which we know russia has not populated with russians. people now live in the dom must have little neat terraces with tens and hundreds of years. these 2 situations a completely different. but boris johnson uses them as he is comfortable in the conditions he needs and in the interests of his country. and his closest partner, which is the united states that on the united kingdom, continues to adopt the u. s. international policy. it consists of creating conflict situations in order to confirm their own, if not opponents, than even enemies,

as they now call them, which of russia and china and the nato summit. and madrid showed it very clearly because they said it publicly abi russia is to help egypt build its 1st nuclear power plant cairo says it has given approval for construction of the future plant by russian state atomic energy corporation. ross adam, now the plant has to be built in the city of l dba on the mediterranean coast and will consist of 4 power units with reactors based on a russian design. ross adam has also agreed to supply nuclear fuel to the plant, along with assistance and training for the 1st 10 years of its operation. the company's director general says the plant will help secure egypt technological future in the greater middle eastern region. the nato summit wrapped up in madrid on thursday, with the block dubbing china,

one of its strategic priorities for the next decade. the 1st time it has introduced such a policy. and during the summit, the nato chief also stressed. the alliance wants to avoid open confrontation with russia over ukraine, despite earlier labeling moscow, a direct, insignificant threat or to contribute rachel marston brings us more. want to say this is the a meeting of the western military industrial complex and marketing firm. basically, they made more promises of weapons for everyone, ukraine themselves, all using the fear of russia and china, for saber rattling, but that's not how stolberg sees it. if this becomes a full scale war between russia natal, then, was it suffering damage, death, destruction of the scale, which was much, much worse than will to see him a ukraine today, fuels of a, a chorus visibility, of course, to prevent escalation beyond ukraine. and that's the reason why the 9th was not

a part older conflict on the ground. well, what else did stoughton berg say? he said that the final session at their summit focused on threats and challenges from the middle east, north africa, and the south region. he also said that they reviewed progress in the fight against terrorism. that's interesting. i didn't know that they are into that still or at all because french president, a menu in my call, has said that nato is brain dead. he said that in interview with the economist last year, and he said that nato is that way because it should have pivoted away from russia towards counter terrorism. and so it's, i guess, news to a lot of people, including maybe french president, a miracle that is now a priority. just because they say it is doesn't mean it actually is. we'll have to wait and see what happens. as for the other nato members, leaders law, let's see what they have to say during their press conferences, turkish president as an arrow on remember, he lifted his veto to sweden and finland joining nato. he calls it a diplomatic victory, which makes you wonder exactly what kind of concessions were made to turkey. we,

we know it involves occurred, but we haven't heard many of the details. german chancellor, olaf schultz, he said that the west would not lift sanctions against russia. if peace was concluded with ukraine on conditions imposed on heave, so no end in sight to these anti russian forever sanctions. well, joe biden certainly seems happy about being able to expand nato. us president has become a little bit too carried away with his geography, mistaking switzerland for sweden, but biden also doesn't seem too sure about who's actually fighting, who in ukraine we're going to stick with ukraine and all of the allies to stick with the grain as long as it takes to, in fact, make sure that they are not defeated by by ukraine, an issue in ukraine, by, by, by russia. we got the telephone suggested we call the leader of switzerland switching . my good, my goodness, i'm, i'm getting really anxious here about expanding nato sweeten. meanwhile, in madrid,

thousands of people repeatedly took to the streets throughout the nato summit to protest against the blocks policies this year, spain is marking the 40th anniversary of it's a session to nato. the summit was dominated by ukraine conflict and the alliances efforts to provide more weaponry to keep the masses of protesters, however, focused on nato's endeavors and claiming it is no source of peace as they called for spain to withdraw from the block in australia, 7 and 10 people say that their governments alliance with washington increases the chance of it being drawn into a war in the agent pacific region. a war that would be against national interests. that is, according to an annual foreign policy poll conducted by the low institute. a prominent sydney based a think tank, but despite the concerns, more than 80 percent of australian say that the alliance is important for their

national security, that's made it growing tensions between beijing and cambra after australia as a leader attended a nato summit for the 1st time earlier my colleague nick n discussed nieto swiftly evolving strategy was a panel of guests. they test his claims to pluck. it does not once a confrontation with most cases, it was you will take on that statement. considering the fact that many ukrainian trips were trained by nato instructors and are fighting with weapons supplied by the us, let alliance. i mean, it just a ball faced lie and he knows it, nobody knows it. you know, when the secretary of defense of the united states states straight up, that the goal and objective of the united states, which is the lead to player and nato, nato does not blame without american approval. it's nato's policy is to inflict as much harm as possible on russia in ukraine, so that russia will never again seek to entertain

a similarly aggressive move that it did in ukraine against anywhere else in europe . that means it the purpose, the mission is to chill russians. that is the mission of nato today, to kill as many russians as possible in ukraine without getting involved directly using ukraine as a proxy force. ukraine is nothing less than an extension of nato's military power, right? now, does it not look like the world is thinking into a new cold war which could involve even more countries than in the 20th century? well, the cold war is already, they may not be called by, by that name. in fact, in some ways it is worse than the cold war because during the cold war, there was an effort by the united states and the soviet union to find proxy was bought in distant geographies. but here, the west nato, united states and other, they're fighting a proxy war right at russia door. and there are enormous risks in this because

things can escalate it and they can go out. and in fact, we're talking about hybrid warfare. and what is happening is actually hybrid wall conducted by nato, against russia. the was the this, the european conflict, deliberately august traded in because of a failure to accommodate genuine security concerns. what's your take on nato labeling russia at this most significant and do reg torres? there's no surprise here. i've been reading papers, thank papers for a long time, depending on papers and the more recent rand corporation papers and it was always clear that there would escalate. the idea here was to contain russia, and my goal was to go for the big price, which is china. keep in mind that china was already in the target in 1965 in the

pet, the gold papers. those plans are not done over the overnight if they were planned 50 years ahead. so i'm not surprised. it's going to be an escalation, but they are desperate desperate because in front of them, it's no here is nor leave yet, you know, iraq, we are talking about based on super power. and it's back. it's not alone. it's not along the bricks. we bigger than the g 7 photons bigger, and we can see people actually backing silently backing routine. and he's not alone . a test of the u. s. hypersonic missile system failed on wednesday. that's according to me to reports confirmed by pentagon spokesman tim corman. it was the 2nd time in a year that the test of such a system by the pentagon had gone awry. us officials did not specify exactly what had gone wrong, but said the problem had occurred after the ignition of the test asset failure

comes as russia, china and north korea step up, development of more advanced missile systems capable of evading interception and surpassing the speed of sound however, it's not the only problem the pentagon is facing right down as the u. s. army, having its worst problems recruiting since the vietnam war, i can give them up and comments. joe biden says it's time for more us troops in europe. looks on the ground and poland booths on the ground in baltic states time to send in the marines with scratch beneath the surface of the overseas bravado. and you'll find out that the u. s. military is having some problems on the home front. one of them is reproving. this is the start of a long drought for military recruiting. the military has not had such a hard time signing recruits since 973. the year the u. s. left vietnam and the draft officially ended 2022. the year we questioned the sustainability of the all volunteer force recruitment for the u. s. army was only 40 percent of target

numbers. the air force was 4000 short, the air national guard and the army reserve are also short and won't meet their expected numbers. so they are turning to help from the silver screen. i've got a whole generation excited about naval aviation, excited about coming and doing military flying and joining the service our whoa, whoa, and movie it. by the way, to get all the along excited all over again about why and for the military. so it seems that out of desperation, they've actually changed the rules they now except recruits without high school diplomas and with tattoos on their hands. and next, that's been outlawed for years. also confidence in the u. s. military among the u. s. public has significantly decreased after last year's debacle in afghanistan. u. s. public trust in the american military went from 70 percent in february,

all the way down to 45 percent in december. and the policies of the u. s. military are also a bit off putting to many americans. this is the story of a soldier who operates donations patriot missile defense systems. it begins in california is a little girl raised by 2 moms. for some reason, this attempt to woke up by the u. s. military is not causing an inflow, fresh, blind person. that's not particularly surprising at all, but it keeps going. the u. s. navy is now raising awareness about pronouns or l g b t bride. using the right pronouns is really simple way to affirm someone's identity. it is a signal of acceptance and respect. if it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody? that's a good question. a really good way to do that is to use inclusive language. now the

new woke optics might be one thing, but there are real problems that the u. s. military has failed to meaningfully address. among them are suicide and sexual assault. the brass are holding summit on these matters that incident persist. what's the problem? well, it appears commander in chief joe biden isn't as popular as he might think years, but also appears that the bungle pull out of afghanistan as cause a lot of rank and file was in the military to lose confidence in the chain of command. also that woke may go over is not really a big hit with the fighting men and women and dying for america now doesn't seem to be so popular. now, america is continuing with its usual habit of picking fights across the planet, but it may not have the personnel or the morale to back up those fighting words. the military is not seen as really heroic. it's not seen as particularly patriotic. it doesn't have any big winds to kind of broadcast it

success where it hasn't been overtly successful. and it's also seen increasingly as associated with big government and americans increasingly don't trust their government. and that would include the military as well. young people and their parents have relative friends, cars and brothers, uncles and aunts who have returned from some of these wars, particularly afghanistan in a wreck, and they have returned damage either psychologically physically or both. many of them can't work. many of them have had personality changes. most of them are advising. the young nephews and nieces and sons and daughters not to go into the military. it's not what you're seeing on top. and if it's something very different . hong kong and celebrating 25 years under chinese rule with friday, marking the day, britain relinquished to sovereignty over its then colony. the over agreement

outlined a governing principle of one country to systems for a period of 50 years. china's president, she's in ping, took his 1st trip outside of the mainland since the pandemic to celebrate the anniversary. in his arrival speech, he stated that hong kong had been reborn of fire, noted the success of principles that had allowed the city to have its own system of government, and also to take charge of its legal, economic and financial affairs. earlier we spoke to russia's consul general to hong kong, eager to get off, who highlighted the importance of the one country to systems principal. this is not good. so if you ask the question or the last 25, yes, i have seen the implementation of these policy. it's unique in its content and form, and we can confidently say that yes indeed, it has passed the test of time. it has proven its viability and given good results . now is now more and more integration of the 2 economies. and it gives a kind of synergy fact for both the development of the megacity and the development

of china itself. therefore, the success of these her forms, the success of these formulas of one country to systems is very obvious. that as a result, we can see what economic successes have been chiefs by hong kong and the successes, mainland china has achieved and aids achieving of you just under 33 minutes. that's what i'll be back with. another fallen freshly coroner's day with us. this is our international ah ah, the north atlantic treaty organization is a peculiar thing. it claims to be a defensive military alliance, but it aggressively expands, and that expansion is directive, russia, and it's clients that ukraine is losing a war. nato actively supports, essentially, nato has decided to double down a failure

a when i would shoot seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world to see about this thing because of the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, yes, motion as real money. i mean you flee a little boy and a border with my listen, look and you live muscles. if you look on the initial be one of club,

not to get a dealer post on zillow while a diaz can use the but by you, i knew you did origin, but you also still listed on the thought it was a similar to like when you're done with all new buildings, just to submit it, would you what i see the student bussey's though group you motivation says dc la due to the gumbo sub with just look up for literally a muscle around noon. she kitty doesn't being in the green show on a nurse to me as possible. mama cook gas gosh, 6th grade to somebody to look at that. i put his ashy of a dc. wanted to work with one of new faith medical physician to pick you putting out my, put the key for the chino,

brian's can that work for phones or something like that. and then we got back with with dog or of brings food to the city and on her way back she times people who are too weak to live in the ruins of murray. you pull any more april above a guide,

nothing.
