a doubles down, the strategy is only with 3 civilians are killed and $27.00 injured in the latest ukrainian shelling of the done yet republic with care of using nato weapons to target civilian areas. a chemical warehouse in little guns republic was targeted by ukraine using american houses. our crew visited a location in almost 10 years. as a war correspondent, i have never seen how crazy the small 113 with france becomes the largest importer of russian liquid natural gas replacing

deliveries via conventional pipelines which had been collectively sanctioned by the west. also coming up on the program with an independence day parade in chicago is hit by a mass you think with dozens of has a local police, have detained a person of interest with july for my headquarters here in moscow, you're watching our international. my name is peter scotts and here the top stories is our 10 years public. officials have said that 3 civilians have been killed and $27.00 more injured in the latest ukrainian shelling residential areas in the region. kindergartens, a school and industrial facilities have all been hit in the last 24 hours. more

than $500.00 shells were fired at different areas of the republic. according to local authorities, the ukrainian miniature used nato artillery to hit some of the cities. among the targets was a railway station and near by food market in a densely populated area. often yes, you can see on the footage the damage caused by that attack. among the victims of the shelling was a member of a russian t. v. crew who suffered multiple shrapnel wounds on was taken to hospital for surgery. and now to the neighboring lu, ganske republic, the russian defense ministry says some of keith's troops in the area have been cut off from ukrainian command and suffered significant losses. ukraine earlier said it withdrew its forces from the republic to save lives and prevent further destruction artes. rutgers. d of reports from the east of little ganske republic. this area west of papa, there was liberated by russian troops more than a month ago. the front lines have moved on far away. 3 warehouses stood here

packed with highly exclusive chemicals, now only ruins and fires remain them and an enormous scar. in almost 10 years. as a war correspondent, i have never seen how crater the smallest 130 meters across and 8th 9, perhaps 10 meters deep. these was the sight, have a vast explosion, hard miles and miles away. though, over the course of this night when ukrainian artillery struck a potassium nitrate warehouse in the village, in the outskirts of the village of blues were, the fuzz are still burning. day bree is lifted hundreds and hundreds of meters around us. and the fireball could be seen again for miles and miles around before retreating. ukrainian troops used these warehouses as an artillery position,

believing that russian forces wouldn't target them for fear of setting off a terrible explosion, thereby turning the local population against them. they were right, but those same ukrainian troops had no such compunction. a local has just come out warned us that there could be more potassium nitrate that could blow berry bob sunder they bri. here you, as you can see the, the fuzzy but still raging and perhaps we'll keep raging for, for many days yet there's no fire service or emergency services to speak of this close to the front blinds. but it does go to sure that as ukrainian forces retreat, nothing wholly remains with them. they strike a chemical storage facilities as well as industrial plants and residential areas without differentiating between any of them faced with enormous

casualties. lu morale and increasing this organization ukrainian forces a seemingly turning to spite as an outlet for their frustrations from the relentless and blind shelling of them yet city to attacks and civilians, infrastructure and even chemical storage sites. the patton is clear more at gasdio party, from new ganske republic, and his wish to lead forces have taken control of the entire lou guns republic. some western journalists work on the ground showed the support russian and allied troops have received from many locals. his one sake from the funds to tv channel, lee, poor canal, sombre fact, it appears the ukrainian forces of la residence we interviewed so very pleased the russians have arrived. i like to screen scream and scream, enjoy. well, i can't speak for everyone. you knew that everyone i know is for you for men. michael to children put a banner on top of a building which signifies the red army victory over nazi germany. and some

residents applauded. you heard from author and journalist, crystal, neon, who believes that such moments or an inconvenient truth for the western media narrative on the conflict. they only mention when there was a to school feeling done yet in march, in scenes, in the really, really rarely mention a shooting of the, the p r or the in p r to re 3 even the russian one. when will go, it was chilled 2 days ago. you're in the night to they mentioned strong explosions, but it's not just strongest poor. and it was shilling. so they are really hiding all the park because it is free and convenient for them to admit that the korean army is showing civilian areas. the pentagon has said its wont, celebrates on ukraine's losses. emit 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. russia's been disclose in what it's estimates to be the number of ukrainian losses since the beginning of the conflict. some have questioned washington's casualty coverage policy, saying white house officials are playing down ukraine's battlefield losses for marcia on a list, john kitty, our crew says the u. s. has a long history of hiding the true situation on the ground during its own conflicts . 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 out the dentist and 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. the recent poll found that 44 percent of americans have an unfavorable opinion of biden's handling of the conflict and ukraine with the majority wanting the government to stick to domestic problems instead of getting involved in military activity abroad. or john kerry r q again says that washington is neglecting domestic problems while focusing on foreign conflicts. 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 trade. 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 had 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 in the news of french oil refinery producing around 10 percent of the country's national capacity has resumed operations after a week long strike walk out occurred amid a growing energy crisis in the country with the government considering restoring coal fired and nuclear power plants. now it's a step that may contradict its long term green pledges. the scale of the problem has also forced fronts to buy even more. russian energy is off the contribution rachel, margin reports. despite the european union's block wide sanctions on its own energy supply from russia, france is still the top importer of liquefied natural gas from russia. harris has done so much damage to the country's own energy sovereignty over the past few years

that it struggling to loosen its grip on its russian energy sources. while the e u is considering tougher sanctions against russia, france has increased its import, becoming the world's largest buyer of russian hill and g. francis nuclear energy industry was already in pretty rough shape before the conflict broke out in ukraine . president emanuel and michael campaigned earlier this year for reelection on the promise of a french nuclear on a sauce pushing nuclear power as a green energy source to the absolute horror of environmentalists. all this comes well after michael announced back in 2018, the closure of 14 nuclear reactors by 2035. and before that mac hole oversaw the sale of france is taxpayer funded nuclear power? no. how austin's nuclear turbine technology to the american defense multinational

general electric in 2015, when he was a junk secretary general to then president fall swollen. but then mac ho reverse course on that cell out to announcing it's buyback by the death this past february. france's energy strategy if there even has won a skins a front at best. the result, half of its neglected nuclear reactors, were working due to corrosion problems. as france hit, its 1st heat wave of the summer last month, and the sweltering locals turn to fans or air conditioning. frances energy output has tank to a 30 year low creating a need to import energy, even though the country is usually a net exporter in the summertime. e d. f strategy endorsed by the government was to delay the reinvestment and transformation of the system. the more e d f delays,

the more skills keep getting lost technical problems accumulate and there is a snowball effect. and all that isn't bad enough. oh, d. f is strapped for cash, and in debt. and no one's more aware of it than the french president. we tried to fix it all with huge promises. if e d f will build and operate the new nuclear reactors was this national sovereign company, which is our common asset. he's will be able to count on the supporters of state, you know, see like them on the financial and regulatory france, massive public funding of tens of millions of euro's will be committed to finance. this new program says removal. policies will preserve e t. s. financial situation and develop the entire industry financial. so it's not exactly the best time for france or europe to forego russian energy, which could explain why paris. well simply isn't. instead, it's openly vomiting the you self harming anti russian sanctions. o quietly

continuing to benefit from the important energy lifeline that rush represents for the french economy. after paris single handedly made a mass of this critical economic sector. european natural gas prices have shot up to more than $1700.00 per cubic meter not arise. around 25 percent just since last month. this is a you states search for alternatives to russian energy, top german officials, all 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. europe led by germany is seeking other gas supply isn't just thought to

replace russian energy towards the middle east. a nation is seeking a long term agreement, while the you needs a shorter deal to his, his pollution reduction goals. the federal contracts, if signed to. we'll also need a few years to come into a faith as infrastructure. it would need to be built. no deal has yet been reached . it's aria economist dr. lead. our 3rd says doha supposed to be treated as an equal partner. the point of discussion or issue is in regarding duration of the contract once, once long, about 220 years. but this is complicated by the german government requirement, when you say, when i'm mission by it, by, they won't be for the, basically over the proposed the contract based on also one through lincoln did dutch benchmark guitar one to benjie or our guys

in europe. but the boeing by the you. so as you can see, these eastern is searching or aiming. and the other wants to maximize the isolation over and over 2 decades, why 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 all of them if they are going to partnership has proven to be a reliable source of energy supply and the war, even at the p. d. united over in the country. it's not like you got to be one of the providers, so it's reliable. and if germany wants to get the price,

i think it's fair for these kinds of conditions. in the news, the u. s. federal bureau investigation has detained a suspect falling among hunt mass shooting in highland park town during a u. s. independence they parade. at least 6 people were killed in the incident with dozens more wounded. ah, local police spokesperson said 22 year old roberts. the cream of the 3rd has been arrested in connection with the shooting, which also injured several children. wisdom took place despite a large police presence along the parade route. official said he allegedly fired into the crowd from a rooftop with a high powered rifle. as always, we'll bring you more in the story as and when we have it. there's many us

independence day celebrations in the country were muted with many even opting to forego fireworks as rising inflation. it's consumers, my colleague, you know, neo, discussed the issue with our team rachel bobbins. i 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 decide that they want to have their basic backyard barbecue. they are now spending 17 percent more this year than they were just one year ago. and for the americans who decided that they want to go check out their local fireworks display on some cities 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 saw 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 under leitz as well. not happy with the leadership coming from the white house. it appears. that's right . you know, it's bad when you've got everyone from big billionaires to hollywood. actor is actually now publicly calling out president bite in these latest comments were in response to his tweet, where he blamed a gas station companies for the current soaring gas prices. my message to the companies running gas stations and sudden prices said the pump is simple. this is a time of for, and global peril. bring down the price, you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product and do it now. working on it, mr. president, in the meantime, have a happy 4th of july. and please make sure that whitehouse intern who posted this twit registers for the call 11 for the fall semester. now when it comes to

state level politicians, they really aren't doing much top 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's the latest that they had to say on that. i urge all of you living in florida to join the fight or join us in california. we still believe in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from 8, the freedom to love. don't let them take your freedom. so definitely a lot of problems, but unfortunately not many solutions being introduced there. all president biden continues to blame really, anyone other than himself. we've heard him spend months trying to put the blame on russia, even as polls show that americans just aren't buying that excuse. and his administration really isn't helping him here. i mean, we've got vice president comma 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 soaring 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. serina is hosting the 43rd summit of the caribbean community countries. and while the community has previously it largely focused on economic issues looming, food and fuel price rises have pushed it towards making political statements. fuel prices have been too high for too long. we in the caribbean, call for the immediate lifting of the sunshine imposed on venezuela sorta. the revolutionary petro carry, reprogram can be re restated, providing our economies with much needed relief. the community has also called for

the lifting of sanctions against cuba, with almost every country in the community, having strong relations with her vonner, the president of. so in om highlighted, the importance of regional cooperation, saying the member states may face difficulties reaching west markets. let's go and list and journalist pulled. dobson says the current situation lay the groundwork for a change in foreign policy in the region. the united states house over the last 10 years didn't a huge amount of resources to try to break other influences in the caribbean natively, the venezuelan ambrose doing the oil market and also the chinese expansion of the chinese and ruins in the caribbean. this is something we can really be able to allow euro to be in an accelerated and through the ukraine. crisis on 1st in the china will be looking very carefully at the road back of the u. s. influence in the region in latin america. and in the caribbean, and of course us railer,

which is now starting to turn the door on 8 years of economic recession. it will certainly be looking to step up as well, should they start to increase their main foreign policy or allow pets and venezuela for major historically low levels of the limiting the possibilities now to assist caribbean countries as they did under the chinese government. if the economy continues its optic and then suddenly the current that we'll be looking to reaffirm some of the foreign policy influence with the neighboring to sports news. now the organizes of britain's wimbledon tournament have appealed around $1000000.00 in fines imposed by the women's tennis association. the penalties relates to the budding of russia bell or some place from the tournament as well as warm up competitions. the fines which weren't initially disclosed with slots on the u. k. long those the asian and all england club,

u. k. politicians have been among those voicing the outrage of the penalties since february, the vast majority of the international sporting community have come together and solidarity to condemn putin's barbaric actions in ukraine. regrettably, the international tennis federations appear determined to be outcasts in this. the lawn tennis association and wimbledon should be praised for their move to make russia and international sporting pariah. we stand by the decision we made. we are deeply disappointed at the reactions of the tours to that decision. it was not one we took lightly. we thought carefully about the ramifications of taking it, but it was absolutely the right decision for us. it was the only viable option in the context of the government guidance in place and we stand by that decision foremost, sports a media lecture on. so sylvia professor the you case austin university. alice cashmore. he believes the window, wimbledon chiefs were not prepared for the international condemnation of the decision to bun russian on beller russian players. they couldn't possibly envisage

that the be a massive reaction days. they thought that they were doing something behaving in terms of the changing zeitgeist of the time. in other words, i thought the opinion was turning or had turned against russian sport. and there were boycotts if you remember, that seemed to multiply day off today. and so it just the we'll, we'll get in, become part of the trend and exclude russian and below russian acids. but of course what it good didn't contend with is that he can make up the rules itself. and although it decided if this was the correct thing to do, morally speaking, for the rest of the world, didn't think so. we have to also put this in context and, and realize that in the 21st century, sport is much more political than it ever has been in history. and fans are aware of that. they know that sports can exercise. a decisive influence,

a positive influence in shaping world events. so they're not saying sports should be completely out of politics. what they're saying is that sports should be behaving in a creative way to bring about right resolutions. this doesn't achieve that. and finally, a liberal libya is once again gripped by a wave of protests, demonstrates is angry. it's paul living conditions stormed the countries parliament building. libya has been in a political deadlock since the overthrow of formerly de mama duffy as don a quarter reports violent protestors storming libby as parliament building chance, demanding necessity. it's like we want the lights to work. it's once again become clear that the western backed overthrow of libyan leader move mar gadhafi over a decade ago, left chaos in its wake. we have seen 11 years of division. the last time libya saw national elections was in 2014, one body that was elected in 2014 and another body that was elected in 2012. so all

of these institutions now lack a degree of popular legitimacy. so 1st the u. s. destroyed libya and now there man at the u. n, who worked at the state department and studied at national war college sits and argues about 11 years of division, lack of legitimacy, and the need to hold elections in libya. undergrad off libya consistently had the highest human development index in all of africa. it's literacy rates, life expectancy, and degree of gender equality. we're all on par with the developed world. at times the countries g, d, p per capita surpassed even that of the united states. still, nato said it made the right call by bombing libya and supporting good off his opponents. nato played a vital role in protecting civilians and i'm proud of what we have achieved. we did the right thing in the right way and we achieved the right result. i saw that with my own eyes in tripoli, but fast forward 11 years after gadhafi was killed. now, libya is at the bottom of the global livability index for 2022. on top of that the

you and says over 800000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance. and the number of islamic fundamentalist groups are running wild across the country. earlier. the west claim that these groups played no part in the revolution. this revolution was not about extreme islam is an al qaeda played no part in. it turns out that couldn't have been farther from the truth. and western leaders knew it back in 2011, the u. k. it's defense ministry discovered that islamic militia called the february 17th martyrs brigade, was likely to play a key role in the upcoming coup de top. the organization has ties to the muslim brotherhood, and one of its members went on to kill 22 people in the manchester arena, terrorist attack of 2017. that's not to mentioned, the massive refugee crisis that came in the aftermath of the overthrow. no doubt, many people are skeptical of nato's claims, that it's a defense of alliance. when to them, defense means over throwing a stable administration and replacing it with chaos. with us latest from around the

world moneys pizza scott's army, back again at the top of the aisle. but do feel free to head over to our social media pages for more news and video content in the meantime. ah, you would need to living in alternative realities, sanctions on russia, or in miss rating western consumers in brussels, refusing to acknowledge that europe can't replace russian energy in ports. anytime soon, on top of this, nato doubles down. this gravity is only yielded to south. ah ah

ah good, good, good, good. good of the shop to get them. she is like stevie ah you know so do you mean you could call me when you bring

in the new new bill you come up with a warm pool. shark corley. when she, when you press be a good as much. yeah. second, why i'm with the name of luisel. we do go with the see in the all of the me. she's the 2 for the year partial. so put them a solution. she's coming were the good news like with looses a fall, newly bull? sure, thanks to your home, but to be with the review of the lesson you please give me a shout at me. ah, i was using it.
