good mama. oh, a . a 3 civilians are killed and $27.00 injured in the latest ukrainian shelling of the done yet republican with care of using nato weapon to target civilian areas. in almost 10 years as a war correspondent, i have never seen how crazy with across in 89 perhaps 10 meters, deep visits. what was once a chemical warehouse in little guns for public homeless destruction by american made. how is this a not to so festive independence day in the us as

deadly shootings, rec court price hikes and as of june to speak from the president overshadow celebrations and india. it's backed us criticism as washington accuses the world's biggest democracy of biggest states, concern just a legit to human rights abuses. a welcome to our international. my name is peter scott bringing in news from our headquarters. harry moscow at 8 am this tuesday morning? yes. then yes, for public officials have said the 3 civilians have been killed and $27.00 more injured in the latest ukrainian shelling of residential areas in the region. kindergartens, a school and industrial facilities have all been hit in the last 24 hours. more than 500 shells were fired at different areas of the republic, according to local authorities, ukrainian military used need,

so artillery to hit some of the cities among the targets was a railway station, a nearby food market and a densely populated area of done. yes, you can see on the floor to check 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 and was taken to hospital for surgery. and now to the neighboring lu guns republic, the russian defense ministry says that some of kias troops in the area have been cut off from ukrainian command and stuff. it's significant losses. ukraine earlier said it withdrew its forces from the republic to save lives and prevents for the destruction. artists, murat goes dia, reports from the east of the guns 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 flies remain them

and did an enormous scar in almost 10 years. as a war correspondent, i have never seen a crater this vast. what 30 meters across and 8th 9, perhaps 10 meters deep. this was the sight of a vast explosion. heard 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 fire bull 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 and warned us that there could be more potassium nitrate that could blow up berry, bob solder they, bree here. yeah, as you can see, that the fossa are still raging. and perhaps we'll keep raging for, for many days. yes, there is no fire service or emergency services. the speak of this close to the fraud blinds, but it does go to show that as ukrainian forces retreat, nothing wholly remains with them. they strike her 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 the new york city to attacks and civilians infrastructure and even chemical storage sites. the patton is clear, more at gasdio party from new ganske republic. ah, the pentagon has said its wont elaborates on ukraine's losses amid russia's military offensive because quotes it doesn't want to do moscow's job, which has been published in what it's estimates to be the number of ukrainian losses since the beginning of the conflicts. some have questioned washington's casualty coverage policy, or rather, the absence of it slim in the white house, officials are playing down ukraine's battlefield losses. pharmacy analysts, john kerry aku, says the u. s. has a long history of fighting the true situation on the ground during his 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 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 the reason why you have to keep this positive, at least on the us side, is because 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 a recent poll found that 44 percent of americans have an unfavorable opinion of biden's handling of the conflicts in ukraine. with a majority, one seen the government to stick to more domestic problems instead of getting involved in military activity abroad. or john katy, aka, again, says the 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. our, our hospital need to be upgraded. our airports need to be upgraded. we don't have money for schools, but we have money from 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 had said that were willing to fight the last ukranian. well, you do that by providing that unlimited, endless aid. then you get the aid by telling congress how well things are going in the news, the f. b, i has detained a suspect in a must 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. the local police spokesperson said that 22 year old roberts e cream. the 3rd has been arrested. falling among hunts in connection with the shooting, which also injured several children. the incidents took place despite the large police presence along the parade routes. officials said the shooter fired into the crowd from a rooftop with a high powered rifle. provide more details and when we get them in illinois was not the only states where july the 4th festivities were mod. in philadelphia, a news dollar report, the 2 police officers were shots during the local parade. and mainstream media has reflected many americans mood as the tragic events dumping the festive spirits. the u. s. faces turbulent this july. the 4th mod by several shootings with headlines

spreading across the u. s. news outlets. it also appears many independence day celebrations in the country were muted as americans also face rising inflation and living costs, which limits the ability to buy, hold the food and fireworks. as in joe biden, joins news outlets in a gloomy speech on today's realities in the country. the region day has been reading the thank you, this country's moving backward of freedom in vain reduces that, right. we assume we're projects that are no longer reminder that will remain in an ongoing battle for the soul. america 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,

davis traditional holiday celebration, but for the americans that 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 wanted 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, soft thousands of cancellation 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 americans clarity very frustrated about the economy under leitz as well. not happy with the leadership coming from the white house that appears. that's right. you know, it's bad when you got everyone from big billionaires to hollywood actors actually know publicly calling out president and bite in these latest comments were in response to his tweet, where he blamed the gas station companies for the current soaring gas prices. my

message to the companies running gas stations and sudden price to said the pump is simple. this is a time before 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, he the mean time have a happy 4th of july and please make sure the white house intern, who posted those twit registers for the you colon one and one for the fall semester . now when it comes to your state level politicians, they really aren't doing much to help me. they're here and they're actually responding to the problems that americans are saying 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 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. oh, 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 is 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. foreign minister nor render mowdy has cold on india to rebuild to create a country where all have equal rights under opportunities. however, the u. s. claims india faces serious human rights issues all to you. correspondent

runjun sharma explains the religious freedom. god has been fondly waived in the face of india by the us, the washington commission on international freedom rights of called on india for what they call a systematic and own going why nations of religious freedom. the u. s. government should designate india as a country of particular concern, or c, p. c, for engaging in and tolerating systematic, ongoing agree just violations of religious freedom. those was a dig received the warmest welcome from you, danny, which said, that's the commission lat basic understanding of the constitutional free work until rally t before supposed to be in the arctic sound. the fat ministry father went on to say that the us body mystery presents fact that statement and both use a motivate agenda. regrettably, u. s. c, i r s continues to misrepresent facts,

time and again in its statements and reports in pursuance of its motivated agenda. such actions only serve to strengthen concerns about the credibility and objectivity of the organisation, washington next thing, or in the outcomes at a time when issues are going in the backyard. the black motto projects on the line, once again after the review, office, healing a black man. we've been or gone via more than 60 horns both found on his body. the u. s. commission or international religious freedom. have suggested by an administration that india should be put along side china august, thought of gone on. i'm not the country as a country. what teachers are filling in the house. he said that's the u. s. has no more than 40 to assess, nor will religious freedom of india,

nor taking sides of the clean war, or joining the sanctions regime against russia. why us is never shy to be from using human rights as a political tool. and internal memo was sent back in 2017, on how best to use human rights as a fresher pulling against china. we do not look to bolster america's adversaries overseas. we look to pressure, compete with an out maneuver them. for this reason, we should consider human rights as an important issue in regard to us relations with china, russia, north korea, and iran. and this is not only because of moral concern for practices inside those countries. it is also because pressing those regimes on human rights as one way to impose costs, apply counter pressure and regain the initiative from them strategically. if they are willing to notice each, i know why not india now, as they're so concerned about human rights. one could ask why i'm still looking for

a little closer to an investigation of the bullets allegedly fired by israeli forces that killed al jazeera journalist, sharina barclay back in may as proved inconclusive. that's according to the state department, the u. s. security coordinator could not reach a definitive conclusion regarding the origin of the bullet that killed palestinian american journalists. sharyn ob lockley by summarizing both investigations. the u. s. s. c concluded that gunfire from israel defense forces positions was likely responsible for the death of sharina ob lockley. the poor condition of the bullets was listed as one of the foxes that's affected, the quality of the join us israel inquiry inquiry came after several other investigations conducted in recent weeks, including by the un is national body. place the blame for the journalist death on to russell m. u. s, saying it's likely that the journalist was killed by israeli forces a last statement. it's fog anger among palestinian authorities. the truth is clear,

but the u. s. administration continues to stall in announcing it. we say israel killed sharon ob lockley and it has to be held responsible for the crime. it has committed. we discussed the matter with the head of the i'll hock human rights organizations show on job maureen, who told us he does not believe he's really investigation, wasn't biased when they say that there is no absolute conclusion. that is why it is they shoot or they come. but the same time they came and they said it's not intentional and intentional killing. how you conclude and in tissue who, who, who do for me with this kind of how, how it comes. these where you live on was they said that no way, for instance, to walk out after they are soldiers and their commanders on their officers,

which it means that they try to give them an immunity. and i think this is the culture of impurity. that's the case. and will give immunity towards a towards soldiers and commanders. it will not investigate correctly and professionally in this case, because of that, we don't trust these riley investigations. natural gas in europe has risen to record highs and the situation may get worse. is norway, a major gas exported to the u faces strikes over rising energy prices along with the strikes the more gas production will fall? the result will be a daily loss of oil output totaling 130000 barrels, while gas production will fall by $292000.00 barrels of oil equivalent per day, or 13 percent of the total for the norwegian continental shelf. in the european stage, the crisis is already leading to serious consequences. germany,

german energy company uniform is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy and has asked the government for 9000000000 euros in financial aid. meanwhile, governments in britain and france are taken electricity plants under their wing. the scale of the crisis in the latter has also forced the country to buy more russian liquefied gas. and thus, despite budget to coats dependence on russian energy, as are the contributor ritual master 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 l. n. 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 all stems? nuclear turbine technology to the american defense multinational general electric in 2015. when he was a junk secretary general to then president paul swollen. but then mac ho reverse force on that cell out to announcing its buyback by the death this past february. france's energy strategy. if there even is one,

is kits frantic 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 attained 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. adf is strapped for cash, and in debt, and no one's more aware of it than the french president who 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 a common asset will be able to count on the support of the state and also like them on the financial and regulatory fronts, massive public funding of tens of billions of euros will be committed to finance. this new program system will pull. this 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 all 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. sorry, numb is hosting the 43rd summit of the caribbean community countries. and while the community has previously at largely focused on economic issues looming,

food and fuel price hikes have pushed it towards making more political statements. fuel prices have been too high for too long. we in the caribbean, call for the immediate lifting of the sunshine, impose on venezuela soda. the revolutionary petro carry, reprogram can be re restated, provide a way for them is with much needed relief. the community has also called the lifting of sanctions against cuba with almost every country in that community, having strong relations with havana, the presidents of serene. i'm highlighted the importance of regional cooperation, saying member states may face difficulties reaching western markets. lexical analyst and journalist poll dobson says the current situation lays the groundwork for a change in foreign policy in the region. the united states house over the last 10 years dedicate huge amount of resources to trying to break other influences in the

caribbean natively, the venezuelan ambrose doing the oil market and also the chinese expansion of the chinese of ruins in the caribbean. this is something we can really be able to allow euro t a be in an accelerated and through the ukraine crisis on further, 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 red rayleigh, which is now starting to turn the door on 8 years of economic recession. and we'll certainly be looking that up as well. should they start to increase that main foreign policy towards oil output and venezuela for major historically low levels of the limiting the possibilities now to assist caribbean countries, as they did under the chariot government economy continued its uptick. and then suddenly, the crackers will be looking to reaffirm some of that foreign policy influence with

the neighboring government. libby is once again gripped by a wave of protests, demonstrators angry at poor living conditions, stormed the countries parliament building. they b as been in a political deadlock since the overthrow of former leader mama duffy is donell quarter reports violent protesters storming libby as parliament building chance, demanding necessities 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 under get 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 country's 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 gadhafi as 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 u. n 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, a terrorist attack of 2017. that's not to mention 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 defensive alliance. when to them, defense means over throwing a stable administration and replacing it with chaos. on to sports news now the organizes of britons wimbledon. tournaments have appealed around $1000000.00 in fines imposed by the women's tennis association. the penalties that relate to the bunning of russian and bellow russian plays from the tournaments as well as warm up

competitions. the fines which weren't initially disclosed were slapped on the case lawn tennis association 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 land tennis association and wimbledon should be praised for their move to make russia and international sporting prior. we stand by the decision we made. we are deeply disappointed at the reactions of the tours to that decision. it was not when 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 for the sports and media electra and so. so the professor of the you case asked in university of his castle. he believes that

wimbledon chiefs were not prepared for the international condemnation of the decision to run russian and bell russian players. they couldn't possibly envisaged that to be a massive reaction. they states, i thought that they were doing something behaving in terms of the, 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 bella, russian athletes. but of course what it good didn't contend with is that it 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 to cheat that. well that's a rep for now. mine is peter scott's on the back again at the top of the hour, the latest news views analysis here or not international. i see that ah ah.
