ah ah. 2 a job, we're here among the don't yet, residents of the ukrainian military show civilian areas. what are the neighboring, the guns for public russian forces exhaust on the key city of niecy chance off a report from the front lines fight. i'm fancy claims that your membership is within caps reach, the european commission cautions that you claim most of us percolates and frank corruption, you k, want to send another 1000000000 pounds worth of a to ukraine, taking back money from state funds for impoverished countries in africa and asia,

as the activist, charity spans phase, the world's most powerful nations, are leaving millions of people on the verge of starvation. is sort of doing what is needed. the g 7 are leaving millions to store and cooking the planet with a warm welcome. this is our to international with the latest news update. it's a pleasure to have your company, but fans to k. f has accused russia of korean. got to deadly as strike on a residential area near ukraine. southwest in the city of a desa, isn't verified footage, released by local emergency services, allegedly shows the aftermath of the attack. ukrainian officials say at least 19 people were killed on 38 wounded military claims. the russian forces launched 3 missiles into the, our overnight hitting a civilian building and 2 recreational center that were expecting an official

response to those allegations from russia defense ministry. moscow has previously said it only talk it slides used by the ukrainian military will keep you updated on all the latest. now on the other side of the front lines, donya thought, dorothy se ukraine's military has launched multiple barrages at least 20 rockets in total residential areas of the dawn by city. only one person was said to have been killed in the shelling of the nearby town of and yes, they know of tire which came on to fire on thursday. oh, yes, you did. your mercy is fitted. show the residential building completely destroyed by the shelling authorities in the don. yes, republic said the ukrainian military has been deliberately firing heavy artillery and civilian areas in the neighboring la ganske law. public. the city of lisi chance has become a hot spot of intense fighting. russian forces have claimed control of an oil

refinery in the west of the city, saying that ukraine has lost almost 200 troops within the vicinity of the facility . within the last 24 hours now is the battle for lucy. chance great is on our t z ghost. all our reports from the front line with this was ukraine's panelled to him at large stronghold and the look 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 over ukraine's regular army, but also foreign mercenaries. yahoo, 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 know what is in these areas where the trip wires are waiting to explode. so during the nights these areas will be examined by intelligence groups. 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 the total number of foreign marks here was estimated at least the hundreds soldiers of misfortune, lifeless bodies of some of them were left at the battlefields. some were captured like this polish colonel, a sub i should, i knew was done, but i am a lawyer. i knew lawyer should. i knew that he wasn't ah, articles or thing i did also did on, and i will put sherburne over thought over my own ukraine. born prisoners of war taken here, talk of how they've been treated by their command. admittedly,

possibly under duress, primo wasn't better here in captivity than out in your positions. there. nothing is clear there. the commanders are not doing anything. can you explain to thought of 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 denette 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 was still ongoing, and the russians are already partly in control of that place. amish done of reporting from the don bass frontline r t t f must do more to join the a year. that's the message from the european commissions president. he says, potential membership, the ukraine, it's within reach, but the country must fast trend that is anti corruption,

knows your european pass. and the reconstruction of the country will go hand in hand. investments will have to be coupled with a new wave of reforms. you half created an impressive anti corruption machine. these institutions needs teeth and the right people in senior posts or the last few years. ukraine has done a huge amount to try and deal with the corruption in its country, but it's so systemic that the you had to highlight this several times when it was giving a ukraine that queen night to be candidate member for the you to say it has to deal with that, and that's again what we heard from the commission president versus vandalay. and zalinski has got a very different view of this though he has suggested previously that actually ukraine has done so much that other countries could actually learn from ukraine. questions are being raised about ukraine's anti corruption infrastructure. i think

that a developed infrastructure like the one in ukraine which has proven effective both before and during the war is something that is absent in many countries. quite simply though, the facts don't really stack up in his favor when it comes to that. if he look at transparency international, the 2021 report suggests that ukraine was a 100 and 22nd out of a 180 countries when it came to corruption winning, it really was on the lower scale far, far lower, or far higher corruption than in any other country, there was also a port that came out for the center for strategic and international affairs, which essentially said that yes, it's been tackling or corruption, but that tackling of it has been complete, inconsistent, and that prior to the war, there were so many issues with corruption and how is the landscape in handling that, that this really hit his approval ratings. and it's suggested with the war in ukraine that things could become even more exacerbated in terms of the problems

with what you kinds leadership hes saying that the ears concerns about corrupt in within ukraine had been blown out of proportion. could you elaborate on that? it's really interesting, there's so many facts and figures. it is difficult though, on the ground at the moment because there is this war going on. but just to give you an example, one survey, recently i showed that some 84 percent of the anti corruption, experts and ukraine had had to abandon their posts since february 24th. so of see not able to do the work that they would like to carry out. we've also had these warnings from interpol, from you, ripple about the weapons going into ukraine from the west, saying that, you know, they're concerned that there isn't enough transparency as to where these weapons are going. it means they could end up on the black market. they could even end up in the hands of terrorists. so really big concerns on that medical aid to as well, has been suggested. this is incredibly vulnerable to being taken by those who are corrupt to be selling on the black market. one whistle blower said, this is somebody who worked in a ukrainian hospital said 99 percent of ukraine and hospitals were highly corrupt.

even in the us, we know that congress has said that it wants to have a hawkish eye on what happens to the billions and billions of us dollars that are now being funneled into ukraine. because of this concern about the systemic corruption that has been there for such a long time. i mean, you know, it's a big problem, but despite, and we know all of this are we've heard from, you know, the ukrainians, deputy prime minister, the, even if you quain, essentially backtracks and doesn't meet these conditions that were set out by the you, they'll keep their candidate status. the european council's decision adopted on june 23rd differs from the recommendation provided by the european commission because we have unconditionally received candidate status. that's actually not true though, because the e u does reserve the right to remove that status if those conditions aren't fulfilled as corruption affected people's perception of the war and who they blame

for starting it. this is a study that just come in conjunction with wall street journal and found that as some at 85 percent of ukrainians, who responded to that study at said that they were highly concerned about levels of corruption. and how that could be exacerbated by the war. and they said that what they were concerned about is that that was corruption. 85 percent amongst ukrainian high officials were talking about potentially government members and also the wealthy and the country. what's also really interesting about this study was what the perceptions of ukrainians in regards to whose responsibility it is for the war that are going on at the moment as you'd expect. the high percentage at blamed russia and 85 percent. but more surprising is the number that felt the acquainted government itself was to blame some 70 percent of respondents. that's really quite striking when this was a study that the survey that was conducted at in conjunction with a big western media outlet. and in terms the respondents of those who would

consider themselves be pro russian were only 2 percent. it really is giving us a much clearer idea of what ukrainians on the ground feel about the current situation, which is somewhat different to what we do read in the mainstream media. the u. k. a said to send an additional 1000000000 pounds worth of aid to ukraine, but our money is being leached from state funds to help and millions of people in african and asian countries. nevertheless, the british governments business chief, has praised the move the vital 1000000000 pounds commitment from boris johnson to enhance ukraine's resistance against russia, british weapons, equipment and training, or transforming ukraine's defenses. my department has contributed to the effort by surrendering climate, finance and foreign aid under spends that you case energy secretary is patting himself on the back for promising to use funding earmarked for climate change initiatives and for helping those under developed countries to support nato's

weapon shopping spree and ukraine and to justify the move, the minister is using a new buzzword for this magically available cash. the under spends meaning that we're supposed to believe that there was money just laying about that couldn't be used because there was just already so much of it already for climate and a foreign aid. environmentalists have already had to face the insult of seeing cold plants and fossil fuel infrastructure, getting fired up again in western countries after official slaps sanctions on their own energy supplies from russia. under spends on climate finance in the context when the $100000000000.00 target has been missed. sounds obscene. and using help to the people of ukraine as a shield against criticism on this is double obscene. so you've sacrificed funding to assist african nations in dealing with their energy and economic crisis for a war with uncertain in i know you as

a single person with no children may not take seriously global warming, but african families are very concerned. so the ukraine war isn't just deflecting our attention from the climate crisis. it's draining money from the already inadequate budget to deal with this looming global catastrophe. and by wary seriously supposed to believe that there suddenly extra foreign aid, when all we've ever heard about until now is how much the world's famine problem is underfunded. g 7 nations, literally just wrapped up a summit where they tried to pin a global famine on russian president vladimir putin rather than the damage done by their own sanctions. during this conflict in ukraine, they just pledged $4500000000.00 against global hunger and ox sam international still doesn't think even that is enough. faced with the worst hunger crisis in the generation, the g 7 have simply failed to take the action that is needed. many millions will

face terrible hunger and starvation as a result. instead of doing what is needed, the g 7 are leaving millions to starve and cooking the planet. this is further exacerbated by their lack of progress and delivering promised finance to support climate action and developing countries. meanwhile, the u. n. world food agency says that a lack of cash means cutting rations for starving people in yemen. but when faced with a choice between those priorities and catering to the weapons winds expressed by ukrainian pirate president virus zalinski in his latest zoom call, guess who wins out makes you wonder if these folks are actually serious about sol? any of the problems that they purport to be actual problems when all of their supposedly biggest concerns are now suddenly taking a back seat to their obsession with sticking it to russia and vladimir putin, even their own agendas are now becoming collateral damage. we discussed the looming financial crunch for the african and asian countries with

a co director of the international action center, sarah flounders. she described the west and 8 surge to ukraine at the expense of helping people in other nations as a case of criminal misconduct. this is one more effort to use a public relations firms, stars media cameras, to project a completely false chemistry of the ukraine. and it's also involves mega money dollars that are never seen even by the people in crane, but certainly not by the people around the world who are facing absolute famine. because of the sanctions and war imposed. of course, they want to pay attention to ukraine, where they can promise that they are a big democratic course and push off to the side, the absolute destruction that they have created in afghanistan and in yemen to this

day. this is not only hypocrisy, absolutely. criminal conduct on a huge scale. i mean, this is war crimes to provide, to refuse to provide for millions of people in need. when the ability is there, one nation, particularly if it could effect affected by the hunger crisis, is going to start with the foreign minister. neighboring pakistan now, urging western countries to lift the sanctions against the war torn country where millions on the verge of famine, the seller bounds returned to power last year, also led to the abrupt end of flora and financial aid. despite the us previously walking out massive items during its occupation, 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 its foreign assets remain frozen. we must not promote the famine, the west hotline stance on the new taliban government has helped fuel assimilating economic crisis enough, gone down the country, financial sector particularly hard hit. there's the u. s. as frozen $7000000000.00 worth of afghanistan's overseas assets. the us has repeatedly calls a western aid for going is done while warning of a looming humanitarian disaster. with more than half of the country population of $40000000.00 people to be facing acute hunger. early this week, washington pledge to provide some $55000000.00 in humanitarian aid to afghanistan. however, some critics are saying that's a drop in the ocean compared with how much money the us and its allies spend funding their 20 year occupation of the country. well, that ended in chaos last august as the nato banks government collapse just days off

. the western troops left as if to run a pakistan's former envoy to the u. s. a. and the wrong told us that the severe crisis and dentist on directly affects the neighboring countries as well as the meet your neighbors, are the ones i've been telling them to unseen that hours of rooms, 10000000000 dollars. and he's going to is that right now? one son is facing a meditating basis. almost 95 percent of the people are below the line, the people selling needs and also selling to them. so this kind of situation has come up and, and we are worried because a d image or check it out while they will words. so in fact, something happens in the one. so immediate neighbors will be affected images,

especially 5 percent hong kong, celebrating 25 years since person hanging to the control of its former colony to china. aging, have pledged to preserve hong kong civil liberties for at least 50 years under an arrangement called one country to systems which china's current president sheet in paying has praised. she are changing young before you keep how to administer the hong kong, as they are firmly in the hands of patriots is essential for safeguarding the long term governance and security of hong kong to fight no time should this principle be allowed to be compromised. protecting the power to administer is protecting hong kong prosperity and stability, as well as the interests of over $7000000.00 hong kong resident, enjoying the packing of the motherland, while staying connected with the world as a notable strength unique to hong kong, the strength cherished by both hong kong residence and the central authority of art gallery pushing was she paid

a special visit to hong kong for the anniversary of his 1st trip outside the chinese mainland. since the stars of the cove it pandemic and his arrival speech, i stare, she stated that hong kong has been we born from fire, as he prays to success if the principle of 2 systems in one country rushes envoy to hong kong egos, i get up also told is that baiting has built a successful partnership with hong kong dismissed the 2 of us, that was the last 25 years. we have seen the implementation of this 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 reforms, the success of these formula, one country to systems is very of this. as a result,

we can see what economic successes have been, chiefly by hong kong and the successes, mainland china has achieved an 8th achieving of how the british prime minister barak johnson has lashed out at bay. jang, accusing it of failing to stick to its obligations under the 25 year deal with london on ah, on kong. now, some one vice chairman at the shank i sent for the wim pack international studies contested at johnston's position, saying the reality of the situation is quite different. the british prime minister according to the spanish people have to understand that reality is and what has happened in the last one too much to go to china as exist long paul gave him the right to be together

and send. so the next $25.00 will be for the special we do in august. and so we're going on with the same old ones and then the big and understand that julian sanchez lewis says he's far too fresh appeals against the whistleblower extradition to the u. s. the move has prolonged the legal battle against the u. k. government's decision to handle a song to the u. s. way faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing us military secrets on wiki, lakes and supporters of been rallying in london to demand his release
