the morning shooting took place despite a large police presence along the parade route. we'll have more on the story later in the bulletin. ah ok to the latest from the conflict in dawn pass where ukrainian troops are actively shelling residential areas of the near city. these are said to be the latest pictures from eye witnesses, artillery shells with a car park which sparked a huge fire while kia forces have intensified their attacks on civilian infrastructure and done near the scan surrounding areas over the past, them. on monday shilling had a railway station on the food market. there's also reports, thoughts on apartment block was struck in the, in a separate shilling, instant one person and woman was left dead. and wanting to find the following images disturbing. these are some images of the victim. the woman's

car was hit by shrapnel after a shell, apparently london close by her husband was taken to hospital with injuries. will it come the sounds, the entire neighbouring lou ganske people's republic was taken under the control of russian led forces on some they confirmed after listen, i shall sca nearby areas where secured the city had been the last major stronghold of ukrainian forces in the republic. rushes defense minister reported the development directly to prison. pierce, my brake. support in 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 less a chance and surrounding areas delivering humanitarian aid and providing medical assistance to civilians. ukrainian trips who are forced to retreat from less

chomsky they left fortified positions abandoned. here you can see footage of some of that deserted trenches. ortiz, senior correspondent morale ghost the visited, the city. was the battle for control of it came to an end getting into least chance is no easy task. ukrainian forces blew every bridge to the north, south, east and west of the city. there was never much concern for civilian well being. this a chance was always looked down upon by ukrainian nationalists as an inferior pro russian city. luncheon hon. i just rather severe. hooked up ranch, another worthless outlet, right and wrong for no one expected ukrainian forces unless he chanced to collapse so quickly and so completely the 2 months key of promised lucy chanced wouldn't be

broken easily for 2 months. ukrainian troops prepared to mount the feds that would wolf marry you both. what is entirely apparent is the ukranian troops prepared to defend lucy chunk for months and months everywhere, all over the city. there are dugouts in trenches, flood cliffs. they take a lot of work. every major intersection in the city is blocked off like lease with rows of vehicles. complicated from civilians as well as broken down vehicle that you can see it intersection and all 4 roads needing here are blocked off. some thing happen. something happened that forced ukrainian troops thousands upon thousands of them to leave, to flee, sometimes to run 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, and the 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 did in mary. you, paul, but they do not hear. the people have lisa chance. overjoyed,

the city is largely intact. new mary, you will hear. the fighting has ended and spirits have lifted i want to showed with joy, just imagine where citizens of russia kenya mentioned how we lived here. not very well. i want to hold in my arms so a sanchez while fighting has been for mine somehow. the ukrainians behaved like an humans. thank you so much. larry, 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 ye. thank you for coming. unfortunately, it's thought entirely over yet a tremendous amount of minds and booby traps were planted even and around the city . worse, many ukrainian troops have got into hiding and the now being rude to that. this is

one of the barracks where you create him to the mix of the said there's a variety of different services involved. territory prevent fraud as well as regular, as well as national through mixed up. can they leave, did well squalid condition put in every room with, with this, with her military uniform scattered above. and that is a major problem because when you have easy credit and so just as they felt that they were being abandoned, they took off their uniforms, dumped them, changed into civilian clothes, and mixed with a local population. catching them is a matter of time. the city still being cleared and more being found all the time. but the liberation have 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 why i had gaz the of our tea from the la ganske people's republic. the alright let's return to our breaking news story. this our, the must shooting of an independent stay parade in the u. s. which left at least 6 people dead and dozens were hospitalized. a gunman opened fire along the parade route and highland park, illinois, near chicago. the shooter is reported to be still at large and police are not searching the area. i witness. call the moment of the shooting. uncover? oh, oh, let's speak no to ortiz, rachel blevins. rachel, hello. a day of celebration. beginning with a deadly shooting. what more is known about what occurred while the shooting has

reported to have started just after 10 am local time and highland park, illinois, which is a suburb about 30 miles outside of chicago. now we saw those witness videos which were the 1st to hit social media. witnesses on the scene so that they heard about $20.00 to $25.00 shots ring out. and there were also witnesses who said that they saw the gunmen on the roof of a local store shooting out into the crowd. now were still waiting for confirmation on exactly what that motive is on exactly what led to this doubly shooting. but so far it has really been those witnesses speaking out low social media sharing that just hectic, horrific scene that rang out at their 4th of july parade, which caused it to come to an abrupt and, and also caused all of the surrounding suburbs and their grades. as well, so far we know that there are at least 7 law enforcement agencies in the area that are helping to respond to this tragic situation. can we focus on the u. s. as

a whole lot because with the cost of living crisis, a lot's happened since last year's independence day. and then yeah, it really does seem like almost a different world when you look at just one year ago. and you know, when it comes to the united states, you have americans that are dealing with not only this ongoing violence, but also an increasing political divide, skyrocketing inflation, which remains at 40 your highs. and you may think, what does all of that have to do with independence day? this traditional holiday celebration before the americans that decide that they want to have their basic backyard barb. they are now spending 17 percent more this year than they were just one year ago. and for the americans who decide that they want to go check out their local fireworks display on some cities, those shows have now been cancelled due to staffing shortages. and of course, we can't talk about staffing shortages without mentioning the airline industry in the united states, which this weekend alone sought thousands of cancellations due to

a lack of staff. so certainly a lot going on there as we continue to see more and more protests coming up across the country. yeah, average american security very frustrated about the economy on deletes as well. not happy with the leadership coming from the white house to the peers. that's right, you know it's bad when you've got every one from big billionaires to hollywood actors actually now publicly calling out president biden. these latest comments were in response to his tweet, where he blamed a gas station companies for the current soaring gas prices. take a listen to the response there. bouche 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 biden administration is out of touch with billionaires, imagine how the average american worker feels. now when it comes to your state

level politicians, they really aren't doing much help either here and they're actually responding to the problems that americans are seeing now by using it to argue back and forth when it comes to politics, which is of course for many of them do best, here is the latest that they had to say on that. i urge all of you live in florida to join the fight or join us in california. we still believe in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, the freedom to love, don't let them take your freedom. so definitely a lot of problem is that unfortunately not many solutions being introduced there. yeah. and a lot of it directed up to by the administration. how, how's, joe biden responded? oh, president biden, continue to blame really, anyone other than himself, we've heard him spend mine was trying to put the blame on russia, even as polls show that americans just aren't buying that excuse. and as it ministration really isn't helping him here. i mean,

we've got vice president common harris, who is somehow even more unpopular than biden himself. and she's continued to be criticized for her responses to the basic problems that americans are facing, such as a laughing off some of those storing gas prices and how americans are responding to them. so when it comes to this traditional holiday, there's certainly a lot of frustration volt all across the country from americans who feel like their government is focusing on really anything other than their own country ortiz, racial blevins. thank you. well, natural gas prices in europe have shut up to more than $1700.00 per cubic meter, a rise of around 25 percent since just the end of june. that's of european countries search for alternatives to russian gas. top german officials are warning the situation in their country could 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 in the aluminum glass. the chemical sectors, such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in germany. of europe led by germany is seeking other gas suppliers to replace russian energy, including cats are. but the middle east nation is seeking a long term agreements, while the e. u needs a shorter deal to hit its pollution reduction goals. the potential contract, if site will also need a few years to come into being as infrastructure would need to be built. german delegation, led by vice jumpstart robert hubbard. i visited guitar earlier, but no deal has been reached yet could tardy economist, dr. holly to catch any say's doha expects to be treated as an equal

partner with the man it's requirements be fulfill the point of discussion or issue is regarding duration of the contract once once the long term contract to 20 years. but this is complicated by the german government wire line. when you say on a mission by, by they want the font, the basically over the proposed the contract like the on also want to link it to the dutch benchmark guitar one to event 0. it's concerning the rural but this is important to you. so as you can see, these each currently is searching or aiming. and this other wants to maximize the innovation over resources over this coming to why germany wants to limit dependents on in both and wants to maximize the state of occasion over and

over energy sources. probably they would have, they would reach out for the benefit of both of them. if they want to pass on a ship, it has to be a reliable source of energy supply in the war. even at the peak, when the united over the country is supplied, you got to provide so it's stable, reliable, and germany wants to get the price. i think it's fair for these kinds of conditions. anger about record fuel prices in the u. k. so the key parts of the countries, motorway and network almost grind to a halt after protest her stage a go slow, large choose of traffic soon formed behind the demonstrators, a total blockage of the biggest bridge connecting and on wheels,

so no traffic at all crossing for more than an hour, the protest game as the latest figures show, the average price of petrol reached the new eyeopening high of $1.00 per liter on sunday. while the diesel is now almost averaging to pines, but the government still refuses the cut fuel. judy to any significant level. ok, another story to keep you across is becca cell authority, say 18 people have, quote, died because of injury sustained during unrest in the country. so told him this province of colored cal puts them 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 ortiz maria phenomena. how's the latest for us from the respect capital, the dudley clashes in the countries north western region erupted last week,

but that's only on monday that it was back. authorities confirmed the casualties included among civilian population. the practice and cult 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. then they took to the streets to protest trophy 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 years 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 clash is erupted with authorities claiming some demonstrators attempted to seize the power. it is reported now that more than $500.00 people have been detained and the countries president warrens that a new call for separate seasonal mess ride will be firmly crushed. you lined with the current legislation. the european parliament house held a special session looking into the recently full clashes between moroccan security forces and migrants on the border between a spanish enclave on morocco. the e. u commissioner for homer,

1st call for an investigation to help establish the facts. you and hcr the i, u. m. and africans union have called for investigations. so have you in this debate tonight? i fully support these courts. the priority now is to help the wounded and established effects. the immigration policy is incomplete. we are lacking a comprehensive and you are a p. m. policy on migration, an asylum. and that's why it's urgent to adopt the full pact on migration and asylum of thousands of people across spain on friday protested against the police violence. $37.00 migrants were killed last month as the attempt at the storm, the spanish anthem of india. protesters gathered in a central madrid square are seen here holding signs and banners, videos, and photos of the bloody border. insulin sparked outrage among human rights groups,

as well as up the united nations. will flooded shows, hundreds of migrants involved. a warning. you may find the following image is disturbing. aside from those killed 100 swirls are wounded, including a $140.00 border guards. the u. n. sais moroccan authorities use buttons and stones to repel the migrants as they've tried to steal offense to enter. what is e u. territory rights activist claim police deliberately refrained from helping the injured well, we spoke to a global policy specialist with a focus on the socio economic and political development of africa who believes the in you desperately needs to strengthen europe's migration system. i think the situation very trustworthy because it's piece of the fact of a violation of human rights, of violation of human dignity and absolute disrespect to vulnerable people who are trying to escape prosecution and escape violence and escape wherever that coming

from. and trying to seek a new life, i think is very tragic that the comments made by the spanish presidents and the reaction by the moroccan hispanic government regarding the situation. and i think it's very sad and tragic and people should really be disappointed. morocco seems to hide evidence and pain praise the police action. is this even acceptable? i don't think it's acceptable because these are, these are states for a consider respectable, global global sphere. and they should conduct and independent investigation attributes, actions, and hold people accountable for complicit and committing such a trusting. it says massacres. and this is completely unacceptable and sustain. and the reputation of both countries in many european countries fear that the entry point for a country due to the sentence is the meaning of one person is able to enter the response to italy. they can find their way to other countries, which is a big loss. i think this is an issue that has to be addressed. how can they ensure that they have a strong immigration system that enhances coordination between the different member states,

but also ensure the human dignity of some of these migrants who are playing conflict, putting environmental disaster and 3 different challenges while it's been commented, that western sanctions against russia being felt right across the world with energy costs going through the roof. in the south, east african countries was on big, angry logos took to the streets over surging fuel prices. now the nation's energy regulatory authority launched on friday the introduction of yet another place for the 3rd such increase since the beginning of the year. it's also having a knock on effect on the price of other basic products such as rice oil sugar bread truck for ortiz. paul, is her husband, seeing the situation for herself. this was matoney terminal port in mozambique capital city. the push ok. it's been expanding for the last 2 years because of donations from the united states and european union. but the timing could not be more off, especially since traffic to here has to kind significantly,

ever since russia and ukraine faced off. or does the cereals fertilizes and feel, haven'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 is 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, on the scarcity or the fears of scarcity from the european union, russian market driven prices up across the board. and so you,

having african countries have to deal with that. when i read and bred are one of the things that government subsidizes here, along with fuel, the prices of food, fuel, and fertilizers, not only here, but across africa, a climbing to a quote hi is. most beacons can already feel the pinch and things are only going to get worse. i would 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 more. they need to talk in parliament that we want to live in peace and we want to eat because people are starving here for them yet. we depend on our monthly salary, but doesn't cover half of what we need to buy it. so fuel and food are things we struggle with in our country and the people from western countries and 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 a director in mozambique. i'm worried about my son and what the future will be like

. everything is bad here. the prices are getting higher up or how are we going to stop it? i'm worried for the future in it or la mozambique has never grown enough crops to feed herself. there is no capital investment from government, no commercial farming, and no phone investment because of the political instability. the barren field show that local supplies have been used up, add to that the drought at the last 2 years, and the result is starvation, hunger, and malnutrition. mostly because amongst the 10 poorest countries in africa, situated on the south eastern coast of africa, it's often ignored by the world. but the crisis here is very real and growing by the day policy a r t, the pu to mozambique. well, political and economics analysts wilker dias says it's not only ukraine who's in dire need of help. yes, fully and crazy and was m b. s one big impact in other areas? how do so if you see on not on you for the food there it is,

but you see under stress for terry, i was a defector, resulting with increased safety situation. quite junior, we don't have any plan b to survive for next month. so we need to one solution for this moment to, to put, stop in and use conflict. but people in duel. great. now at this moment, all i and you crane and for good to problems here enough. so we need to, to, to make a focus not only on ukraine, but here in africa also. and so we need to get some organizations no day after you got need to help ok to the u. s. where the pentagon said it won't 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. yeah, that statement raised a few eyebrows in moscow. seeing of the russian defense ministry how's being disposing 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 law makers. with some questioning whether u. s. officials betrayed the crisis in 2 kind of terms. it comes as flashbacks, of the 20 year campaign in afghanistan, sil, reverberates around the white house as previous victorious assessments about american involvement, their fuel scrutiny of current comments. we heard from former c, i a analyst on this, john curry, aka 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, the neoconservatives of the republican party used to be the one that wanted to jump into every international conflict they saw. and it was the democrats that were the, the party of peace. and in terms of the us public, a recent poll found that 44 percent of americans had an unfavorable opinion over joe biden handling of the conflict in ukraine. additionally, a majority of respondents said that the country's military footprint should be reduced or not. domestic issues be prioritized john curry alco again. so washington is neglecting the domestic decline at home while focusing on shipping aggression 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 our our hospital.
