a number of casualties. not clear up. this stage, local authorities have immediately cancel the event and ask people to avoid the area the morning shooting took place despite a high police presence along the parade route. will up more on this story later in the bulletin. ok, let's bring another latest from the conflict and don boss where ukrainian troops are actively shelling residential areas of done yet. city. these are said to be the latest pictures from eye witnesses. artillery shell hit a car park which sparked a huge fire. well, key of forces have intensified their attacks on civilian infrastructure and, and the skeletons surrounding areas over the past month. earlier today, monday, shelling had a railway station on the food market. there's also report southern an apartment block was struck in the internet in a separate shilling incident. one person and woman was left dead and warning. you

may find the following images the survey. these are indeed some images of the victim. the woman's car was hit by shrapnel after a shell, apparently landed close by her husband was taken to hospital in injuries. when it comes out, the entire neighboring luc guns people's republic was taken under the control of russian led forces on sunday confirmed after listen chumps on the nearby areas where secured the city had been the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the republic. russia's defense minister reported the development directly to president fierce mcgrooves and support the defensive operation was successfully carried out to liberate the territory of the against people's republic. the total losses of the crating army is $5469.00. at this moment, russian forces de mining the city of listed chances and surrounding areas delivering humanitarian aid and providing medical assistance. if any machine well

as ukrainian troops were forced to retreat from las a chance they left fortified possessions abandoned. here you can see footage of some of the deserted trenches nor t senior correspondent rock as they have visited the city. as they otto for control of it came to an end. getting into lisa chance is no easy task. ukrainian forces blue every bridge to the north, south, east and west of the city. that was never much concern for civilian well being. is he chance was always looked down upon by ukrainian nationalists as an inferior pro russian city. luncheon hannibal, i says what i don't severe hooked up. i'm sure a lot of workforce ottoman arise whom no one expected ukrainian forces, at least he chanced to collapse so quickly and so completely. but 2 months kia

promised lease he chanced wouldn't be broken easily. for 2 months. ukrainian troops prepared to mouth the feds that would wolf marry you both. what is entirely apparent is the ukrainian tubes prepared to defend lucy tongue for months and months everywhere, all over the city. there are dugouts in trenches flood 1st. they take a lot of work. every major intersection in the city is lawful like police with rows of vehicles confiscated from civilians as well as broken down vehicle that you can see it. intersection and all 4 roads needing here are blocked off. something happened. something happened that forced ukrainian troops thousands upon thousands of them to leave, to flee, sometimes to rod. from what we gathered,

speaking to locals. this organization was rife, the myriad of ukrainian units were demoralized and believe that they were being abandoned at least a chance. when one unit decided to retreat, it began an avalanche. eventually no one was left. the city had that suburbs were liberated entirely in just ours. my landfill missed a chance here. we knew they had a great concentration of troops here and that there were many civilians. so we learned them out of the city and slowly whittled them down. they didn't have the strength, material, or spirit to resist here. all of ukraine's military might, and you could say the army itself was in merry you, paul. they were apparently trained, apparently prepared, and apparently knew how to fight. and yet you saw how our fighters beat them here. they do not last 15 minutes in a fight. they didn't marry you, paul, but they do not hear. the people have lisa chance, overjoyed,

the city is largely intact. new mary, you pull here. the fighting has ended and spirits have lifted. i want to shout with joy. just imagine where citizens of russia can you imagine how we lived here? not very well. i want to hold in my arms, so a soldiers who are fighting has been 4 months of hell. the ukrainians behaved like in humans. thank you so much. blurry to the liberators. glory to the russian soldier. if we had not waited for you. i dunno, we'll, we'll have happened to us. we prayed for you. thank you for coming. unfortunately, it's not entirely over yet. a tremendous amount of miles and booby traps were plotted in and around the city. worse, many ukrainian troops have got into hiding and the now being rooted f. this is one

of the barracks where euclidean tombs, the meeks of the said, there's a variety of different services involved. territory for trend floods as well as regular, as well as national through mixed up. again, they lived in well squalid condition, put in every room that we visit. there are 3 uniform scattered above. and that is a major problem because many of these you couldn't sold as they felt that they were being abandoned. they took off a uniform, stopped them, changed the civilian clothes, and mixed with the local population. catching them is a matter of time. the city still being kid and more being found to all the time. but the liberation of lucy chance is a turning point. lugens is now entirely free of ukrainian troops, and the ukrainian military has demonstrated. it is no longer in the fighting shape

. it once was where i had gas the of our tea from the la ganske people's republic. ah. okay, let's return to our top story, breaking news this hour and multiple people. i mean shots along and independence day parade route and highland park, illinois, that's located near chicago. the shooter is reported to still be at large on police are not searching the area or let's the i take are racial blevins join just no racial just may have really in those videos as we're looking at. is there more information emerging at this stage about what occurred for right now? we're still waiting for police to make

a statement so far we're going largely off of what we have heard from witnesses and what we've heard. witnesses put on social media. as you saw there, there are a number of videos that have been posted so far. witnesses say that they heard around $20.00 to $25.00 gunshot ring out in succession. the main thing that we've heard from police is that it is still an active shooting situation that they are looking at. so we don't know yet if that gunman has been caught still waiting for that statement. but when it comes to those videos, this appears to have happened in highland park, illinois, which is a suburb about 30 miles outside of chicago. there was even one witness that said that they saw a gunman on top of the roof of a business shooting out into the crowd to again, we are still waiting for confirmation on all of those reports and also to find out how many people were injured and unfortunately, how many people lost their lives in this incident that was carried out earlier. when you said earlier, it was earlier in the morning time shooting as well because it's only gone past mid day now in illinois. and can we focus racial on the u. s. as a whole now,

because with the cost of living crisis, the, the country is pretty different from this time last year in independence day. isn't it? it really is. and you know, when you think about independence day, it's typically a day that americans want to celebrate. and they want to be able to look past all of these tragedies that typically are not carried out on the 4th of july. however, when we look at this year, we see the fact that americans are facing not only an increasing political divide, but they're also continuing to deal with inflation at 40 or highs for yet another month. now you may think, how does that relate to the holiday, but for the americans who want to have their traditional backyard barbecue, they are spending 17 percent more this year than they did just one year ago. and for those americans who want to go watch fireworks displays will for some in their cities, those shows aren't happening because of staffing shortages. and of course, we can talk about staffing shortages without mentioning the airline industry, which in the united states is had to cancel thousands of flights this holiday

weekend alone certainly impacting those americans who are trying to go home to their families. so there is a lot going on right now, and it's also coming as we continue to see protest across the country over everything from the supreme court decision. overturn roe vs wade to the latest police shooting that was carried out in ohio. and certainly a lot of conflict in a lot of frustration, not angering the average american out there, isn't it? so what is the response being, what kind of sympathy or otherwise in terms of reaction hub they've been getting from, from the u. s. lead from politicians? well, you know, as bad when average americans are talking about it, but you know, it's really bad when you've got everyone from billionaires to hollywood actors speaking out against president biden. now their latest remarks come as he tweeted and criticize us, gas companies or gas station companies rather, and claim that they are to blame for the soaring gas prices. take a listen to the responses there. ouch. inflation is far too important. a problem

for the white house to keep making statements like this. it's either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. when you lose liberal billionaire, washington post owner jeff bezos, you have lost the ideological war. if the bite in administration is out of touch with billionaires, imagine how the average american worker feels now as for politicians at the state level, well they're quite frankly, not helping me there. and instead, they're just using this chaos to argue back and forth with each other over politics, which is of course, what they do best. here's the latest one. i urge all of you live in, in florida to join the fight or join us in california. but we still believe in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love. don't let them take your freedom. now it's clear that there are a lot of problems, but really not

a lot of solutions being offered here. well, let's get into that. just finally rich. what has jo, by them? function is a head headache for him. after looking at some of those headlines from us, you see the liberal, elite, and hollywood and beyond what's, what's jo, solution. while he continues to blame everyone other than himself for his own economic policies. we've seen him spend months blaming russia that has only continued and you know, his administration isn't really helping him out care. we've got vice president, call more harris who's even more unpopular than he is. she's been criticized for laughing it off when it comes to those major problems that americans are facing, such as a sore and gas prices. and so it really does bring back to this set up where we have this traditional holiday. yet at the same time we have this rising frustration among americans is they are seeing their government continue to focus on really everything other than their own country. rachel, thanks very much for bringing a story about our tea. rachel blevins. thank you. will natural gas prices in europe has you may know of shot up to more than $1700.00 per cubic meter

. look at the rise of around 25 percent since just the end of june. and that's our european countries search for alternatives to russian gas, top german officials or warning the situation in their country code become much worse if russian gas is no longer received and there are average winter temperatures. our current reserves will be enough for only a month or 2, taking into account our obligations for gas deliveries to other european countries . we have a real emergency because of the gas shortages, entire branches of industry are in danger of permanently collapsing and the aluminum glass. the chemical sectors, such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in germany. europe led by germany as seeking other gas suppliers to replace russian energy, including cats are in the middle east. nation is seeking a long term agreement as well. the e u needs

a shorter deal to hit its pollution reduction, gold's the potential contract if sidewall. so need a few years to actually come into being as infrastructure, has to be built. a german delegation that by the vice chancellor robert havoc. this is a concern earlier, but no deal has been reached yet. kentoria economist, dr. college, i'll catch her say to her, i expect to be treated as an equal partner on will demand. those requirements be fulfilled. the c point of discussion or issue is regarding duration of the contract once once long, about 220 years. but this is complicated by the german government wireless. when you say one emission by percent, by 2040 basically over the proposed contract like the on also want to link it to the dutch benchmark guitar. want to eventually are often go by

europe. but this is a boeing by the you. so as you can see, these eastern is searching or aiming for a space and the other wants to maximize the transition over. and over this, coming to a wire, germany wants to limit dependents on in both and wants to maximize the state occasion over and over energy sources probably they would have they would email for the benefit of both of them if they are to construct product on a ship proven to be a reliable source of energy supply in the world, even at the peak of the united over the country. it's applied, you got to provide so it's reliable . and if germany wants to get over the price, i think it's fair for these kinds of well angered about record fuel

prices in the u. k. saw a key parts of the country's motorway network, almost grind to a halt after protest or staged a go slow, large choose of traffic soon formed behind the demonstrators, a total blockage of the biggest bridge connecting and then we'll saw no traffic at all crossing for more than an hour and the protest came as late as figures show, the average price of petrol reaching a new eye, opening high of $1.00 per liter and sunday, while diesel is not averaging almost to pounds. but the government still refuses to cut fuel tanks. ok, let's say i turn attention. the program now to is, pakistan were authorities, there is say 18 people have quote, died because of injury sustained during unrest in the country. so thomas, province of carter cal packs a further $240.00, were wounded according to the officials. last week,

the central asian nation on vale plans to curtail the autonomy of the region sparking violent protest. r t 's. maria phenomena has the latest force from the back capitol, the dudley clashes in the countries north western region erupted last week, but that's only on monday that that it was back. authorities confirmed the casualties including among civilian population. the protests and critical buxton were prompted by planned constitutional amendments that would have stripped the republic that by the way, occupies wrong one 3rd of the countries territory of its autonomy status basically, and any form of local self governance and actually take its right to secede from was pakistan, local people were not quite happy about that and they took to the streets to protest tropi. after that there was back liter flew to the region that made a turnaround. promising to drop the amendments to the constitution regarding the republic status, and early on monday, the country's parliament voted to maintain the republic 70. they protest lead to

violent clashes between demonstrators and police. let's take a look now, but i have to warn you that some viewers may find the following images disturbing. huh? mm. oh, oh, hold on 40. 0, it's a state of emergency has been declared throughout the whole region for a month. shortly after the clashes erupted with authorities claiming some demonstrators attempted to seize the power. it is reported now that more than 500 people have been detained and the countries president warrens that a new call for separate seasonal mess ride will be firmly crushed in line with the current legislation as something else of note to bring you to day in the us,

the pentagon said it looks elaborate on ukraine's losses in russia's military offensive because it doesn't want to do moscow's job. we're simply not going to do rushes, big data analytics or intel work for them. however, i think we have discussed what we can when it is knowable, demonstrable and objective. will. that statement has raised eyebrows and moscow, seeing as the russian defense ministry. how's been this losing the number of ukrainian losses since the beginning of the conflict? such limited casualty coverage from washington is also leading to a split among american lawmakers, with some questioning whether us officials have betrayed the crisis and 2 kinds of terms. it comes as flashbacks of the 20 year campaign in gamma. so still reverberate around the white house says previous victorious assessments about american involvement, their fuel scrutiny of the current comments, we got reaction it's always been us military policy

to, to make the situation on the ground look more positive than it is. we did this throughout the warrant afghans, dan, certainly we did this in iraq. we did it in, in vietnam. famously, they always say that we're winning, every breaking that i've ever been in. they, they were winning, and they're doing the same thing here. now in the ukraine, i think that we will see a shift, and i think that shift is going to be where, where western countries led by the united states finally approached the turks and asked the turks to mediate some sort of talks between the russians and ukrainian and then behind the scene, i really believe that we're going to see nato countries urging the ukrainians to make a deal where, whereby they feed territory to the russians full in terms of the us public. bear with me, i just wanna go through a few figures here, recent pool fund that 44 percent of americans had an unfavorable opinion over jo

biden's handling of the conflict in ukraine. additionally, a majority of respondents said that the country's military footprint should be reduced. they are really having their say on most american suggested prioritizing domestic issues that comes up more and more. former c i a analyst, john curry, aka again, se, washington is neglecting that domestic decline at home while focusing on continuing a war effort abroad. we've got a terrible infrastructure situation here in the united states. we have terrible, international or interstate, rather highway systems. we have bridges that are falling down into the rivers. below them are hospitals need to be upgraded. our airports need to be upgraded. we don't have money for schools, but we have money for a limited weapon systems free break. when you are able to show progress, when you're able to show promise, it makes it that much easier to go to congress and get billions and billions of dollars in additional 8. and that's what this is all about. you know,

famously people here in the united states have said that were willing to fight the last ukranian. well, you do that by providing that unlimited, endless aid. and you get the aid by telling congress how well things are going. well, western sanctions against russia are being felt right across the world with energy costs going through the roof. in the south, east african country move on. big angry locals took to the streets over surging fuel prices, the nation's energy regulatory authority in iceland, friday, the introduction of yet another price hike. the 3rd such increase since the beginning of the year. it's also having a knock on effect on the price of add other basic products such as rice, oil, sugar, bread and transport ortiz paul asleep has been seeing the situation for herself. this is natalie terminal port in mozambique capital city. the pushes it's been

expanding for the last 2 years because of donations from the united states and european union. but the timing cannot be more off, especially since traffic to here has the kind significantly, ever since russia and ukraine faced off orders of cereals, fertilizers and feel hadn't been coming into the country because they can't get out of russia and ukraine. weight supply chains are heavily disrupted, it puts african, a very difficult situation. as we know, food security in africa is a big issue. and africa has not yet self sufficient in terms of grain production. so being put in a position where you have to choose between people needs, food wise and in the global scale of what's happening is very difficult. and so very hard question to ask of africa. what is done generally is spike the food prices on the international market. let's talk about flowers, specifically,

even if your country is not sourcing directly from russia, ukraine. the scarcity or the fears of scarcity from the canyon and russian markets have driven prices up across the board. and so you, having african countries have to deal with that. when we eat and bread our, one of the things that government subsidizes here, along with fuel. the prices of food fuel and fertilizes not only here, but across africa, a climbing to record highs. most beacons can already feel the pinch and things are only going to get worse. now say glad. i mean, the, if the government doesn't do anything, it's bad because a lot of people are starving here in mozambique. they have to change things because we are suffering a lot. they need to talk in parliament. we want to live in peace and we want to eat because people are starving here with we depend on our monthly salary, but it doesn't cover half of what we need to buy. so fuel and food are things we struggle with in our country. the people from western countries send money, but it doesn't cover even 50 percent of the country's needs. so it's not fair. the

west isn't suffering from this. we are in mozambique. i'm worried about my son and what the future will be like. everything is bad here. the prices are getting higher . how are we going to stop it? i'm worried for the future and the most be has never growing enough crops compete herself is no capital investment from government, no commercial farming and no for an investment because of the political instability . the barren field showed that local supplies have been used up. add to that the drought the last 2 years and the result his salvation, hunger and malnutrition, mostly because amongst the 10 countries in africa, situated on the south east coast of africa, it's often ignored by the world. but the crisis here is very real and growing by the de policy a r t, the crew to mozambique. well let's go live night to move on big. i'm happy to say we've got wilker, diet, political and economic commitment, or in my, to,

to with us live, hello to you. just 1st off work or are protests where you are continuing and how they had the impact the demonstrators wanted. yes, and here it is. good night for all over the situation is not good here in more than because we are one of the all right is not for a long need, but then that basically thinks all things is in cray. so right now, a resistor for today on monday morning, protect l. all transport all strossberg over what's right in the streets here because the price will go out. so we don't have any plan for d. situation, not for full price. this brought it by day. so one part of the people that blew us to be did on this case and something about the situation of all your oil

derived and all price is going up. so this is the bed situation here it was and be with we reveal moments. so we need solutions in the government, don't have any solution for now, the salary, not. we done to reduce any present ellery right now. you saw me. so if you see for, for the minimum salary around that $11100.00 progression. so it's, isn't it wilker because people are feeling the pinch of rising fuel prices all over the world, but in a country of per as moves them big, it appears to be really hurting. is there a feeling of just this spare there at the move with people? sorry, i didn't understand it, nor is there a feeling of despair. we saw so many people on the streets talking about those rising fuel prices. it must be hurting them hard. yes,

it is very hard deserted situation because all the, depending on the salary only, but for a salary and some business, we have some people need to do some business in the street. so 2, so 5. so if you don't have issue resist the increase of this product. so the basic products is very complicated to leave here. so sometimes we need to, to going to the banks to get to take money for us to survive. so it's not a very simple situation here because we have off after we have the concrete income delgado, the to recent coffee to go. so it, this is due on the other situation who created this all, all things. so for the price of the price of the basic team here and what we do in was in beacon particular situation is not very good because we have this.
