maleah a a a civilian casualties amount in the dom boss. the 10 year old girl is killed by ukrainian shelling and a residential area on yes, wanting the falling footage is distressing. a . 7 daily mirror newspapers apparently published a fake article flaming russia for shelling and done yet, despite the ctp and the russian control and local officials with the training officials confirmed that some of the military aid provided to the country

by the west appears to have been stolen with the russian defense minister, adding the weapons, are increasingly ending up on the black market. and with gas prices in the reaching record levels. german officials urge locals to limit energy consumption. the citizens are bad for long term process. and i would say politics fulfilled its tasks and hadn't, for 40 years conducted an energy policy that helped major corporations to get cheaper energy with. we will get a full scale crisis in 2 to 3 years and then we'll have nothing at all with july from our studio to moscow. this is our international social 7 am on wednesday morning. i'm p to scott and wherever you join us from. welcome to the program. we start with the latest on the ground in the don bus conflict to a 10 year old girl has been killed by ukrainian shelling and done yet. this comes

as kids forces fight 15 missiles targeting a residential area. a warning the falling footage is distressing. i. 7 we see that some of the latest pages from the scene i see the aftermath of the craning attack, a large crater left by the rocket, uncharted windows, nearby, with the family, grieving the loss. the girl's mother and grandfather told us what's happened. a pretty sure with

the civilian death toll is rising every day in the done yet republic as the ukrainian army continues to shell it residential areas of don. yes, this eye witness procedure is said to show the scenes of an attack on a car dealership setting several vehicles on fire. a number of homes in an apartment building were also damaged. kids forces have recently intensified their shilling often yet for the russian lead take over the neighboring guns for public strikes by ukrainian forces over the past 2 months have resulted in dozens of death and hundreds of injuries with ukraine conflicts continuing to be played by fake news the u. k. tabloid suggests russia is bombing its allies in the city of the nets showing the aftermath of monday shelling the article headlined russia in blitz undone, yet show smoke rising on the done yet. skyline gray minutes was the result of a russian bombardment. now, thus, despite stony has been under the control of russia's allied forces and been under

constant shilling from ukrainian positions for several years. the large sign reading we are russian dumbass, hanging on a building with simulate not enough evidence to provide clarity on the story. local officials recently been kia for bombardment that led to dozens of casualties including 3 fatalities. now we have sent a request to the daily mirror for comments and will let you know if and when we get the response. but earlier i spoke to the boyish mileage a serbian american journalist, blogger, and historian. he was surprised by the piece. then i saw the photo of the actual city of don. yes, be under fire and thought, wait a minute, something doesn't add up here. and as it turns out, it was, it was actually somebody had put up a picture of the city of don. yes. and claimed it was russian showing that hit it. and that is just an egregious li, gross factual error, a crime against journalism. if there ever was any, it's not the 1st time something like this happened earlier on during the, during the ukrainian showing the city proper by poach can walk. it's

a number of western outlets made the same mistake. so this was russian calling and the ukranian government actually said, you know, these are, are people getting killed in 90? but obviously it was the ukrainian government showing them do you expect to the mirror will publish a correction for the department state if they do, nobody will bother reading it, but i doubt they will because it's one of those. oh, well, it's just, you know, an anti rushing slander. if you do that, that's everything is permitted. if you're under the right side of history. so i don't think they're going to issue a correction. i think it's fair to say that russia has been given a bad rap in the press even before the conflicts in ukraine, fairly or unfairly. but do you think the readers should be given more context on the background of this conflict? absolutely, but i wouldn't put it in the hands of the current western corporate and state funded pressed do that because all they're going to do is serve them, i'm sorry, but a served him

a pack of lies. i haven't seen demon is ation like this since the 900 ninety's in the western press directed against the serbs in yugoslavia. i literally in their eyes, russia can do nothing can do no. right. and, and the ukranian government can do no wrong, and that's just appalling. i would normally urge people to check a variety of sources and go with the sources that have, have a proven track record. unfortunately, western governments have literally band of almost all media that, that don't report in line with their pull called perspective. and now to little ganske republic after russian lead forces took the last ukranian stronghold in the region, they are now reportedly advancing west. you can see on the map the city of sylvia square, a falsified area under ukrainian control is located. as russian troops advanced, ukrainian leadership did admit that their troops had lost control over a number of towns on the way to service archie, murat, gas, d. f. reports from the front line after the liberation of lease, it chanced,

a city of a quarter of a 1000000 people. the battle has moved westwards. out there in the distance law, russia helicopters 2 of them, they were always flying in bears that even in trios, we are very close to shed ask, which is where ah, ukrainian nationalists, the ukrainian military is making a stand after retreating from the city of niece a chance about 7 or 8 kilometers over there and the distance is the little chance. all refinery, as you can see by, by over all the plumes of smoke rising from there. that is where most of the action is, is situated at the moment. as you can see, the helicopters over there, i'll cover man filming as we speak, a flying relatively high so they must feel comfortable that enemy air defenses in this sector have been suppressed. this is what is called close air support.

helicopters launching salvos of rockets, enemy positions before diving back towards the ground, while deploying flares to throw off any heat seeking missiles fired at them. this particular group of helicopters circled back behind us. as you can see, the helicopters just having, having achieved their objectives are safely out of the battle zone. but again, these, these computers a lot, 4 of them. in fact for the as we usually see them and for the full together. well, this is read despite the thousands of anti aircraft systems supplied by nase who

states to kiev ukrainian forces have been unable to close the skies to russian helicopters and jets and cruise missiles. the more than that, ukraine has stepped up, its use of rocket artillery to deploy band hagey personnel mines, which it had promised the international community. it had destroyed years ago. williams, i'm going to court. we are not far from the city of severs cry now. and we have repeatedly observed how the ukrainians are deploying band anti personnel. mines. mostly in fields you on roads, highways, and on approaches to cities. often laurel, do you claim, understands well the deteriorating conditions of the front lines, casualties of up to 1000 wounded and healed,

put they are catching up as this week, ukrainian officials announced that women now faced the draft and all to plan to forbid military aged men from leaving their home provinces to prevent them from dodging the draft all showing how far he others prepared to go to make sure that it has enough bodies to feed its war machine more. i'd guess the of our tea from the la guns people's republic russian defense minister said again showing says western countries, providing ukraine with miniature aid are looking to further fuel. the crisis boats, many weapons are ending up on the black market. linkedin is our part, my dear, dear, returned the collective west with hoping to prolong the conflict in ukraine's and continues. large scale shipments are to sierra regime papers more than 28000 tons of military cargo have already been delivered to the country stern. yeah, according to reports you, some of the foreign weapons supplied by the western crane are spreading across the

middle east as well as appearing on the black market. i do most i do. so. while the words of the russian minister defense were unexpectedly confirmed by the chief of the ukrainian bureau of economic security, which revealed that aid had gone missing and he done a little more humanitarian aid is sold for money. today we have several such cases to provide. moreover, 0 military aid is also sometimes, so we also determine such families got the father voice thickening around the fate of western weapons dumped into ukraine. the french army, general staff, even felt compelled to deny a rumor that russian forces in ukraine had captured 2 of the 6 french made self propelled caesar howitzers that paris delivered to keep in mid june. there is nothing which confirms it this information seems very unlikely. even implausible, the staff completely denies this information. the speculation was fuel by

a twitter post by a politically active french lawyer and a yeast to cast in know, in which he claimed that the native weapons had ended up in the hands of russian defense company. the company responded by a telegram with tongue and cheek. hello, mister regis, please convey our thanks to president micron for the donation of the self propelled guns. this material is of course not tip top, not like r m s t s, but nevertheless, it will be useful. send more, we'll take them down. well, paris steadfastly denies that their weapons were captured. such a situation would obviously spell trouble for nato, allowing for the careful study of its weapons by russian engineers. mystery around the fate of the caesars persists and some even speculate that they may have been sold to russia. but one thing that we know for sure is that interposed secretary general juergen stock did warn last month to expect western weapons to wind up in

the wrong hands. criminal groups try to exploit these chaotic situations and the availability of weapons. we can expect an influx of weapons in europe and beyond. we should be alarmed and we have to expect these weapons to be traffic. tony to neighboring countries, but 2 other continents. and he's far from the only one to sound and alarm a canadian disarmament organization project. ploughshares had a similar warning that the weapons sent to ukraine could end up anywhere due to a ukrainian government's. busy inability to control them, there is the real threat that the ukrainian government can potentially not control all of these weapons. they could end up anywhere. there is the real threat that the ukranian government can potentially not control all of these weapons. they could end up anywhere. still the hasn't stopped. western officials from forge ahead with evermore pledges of weapons and funding this week's ukraine recovery calling

jasmine, gonna switzerland. it was even re branded from its previous identity of the ukraine reform conference, as it was known since 2017. thank you. clearly the agenda has changed and focusing on corruption in ukraine is a little bit too inconvenient. but it would be even more inconvenient if corruption in ukraine led to a lack of accountability over the whereabouts and use of western financing and weapons. it's really not enough for western officials to deny rumors and dismiss them as impossible. they have a moral responsibility in the interests of peace and stability to provide an accurate accounting of the whereabouts of the weapons and the resources that they provide ukraine at any given time during their next trip to keep if they should be able to stand there with the newspaper or the has today's date and in front of these weapons and say, hey guys, see,

everything's good there right here. if only so their efforts don't blow back into all of our faces. beijing has slammed washington for spreading disinformation thus of the earth. ambassadors, the china accused beijing of promoting quotes russian propaganda over the conflict and ukraine. i would hope that the chinese foreign ministry spokes person would stop accusing nato of starting this war. that's russian propaganda. you one symbol she does, she is the officials from the us who have been spreading dis information and lies non china, where we always make objective and impartial judgments independently regarding the ukraine issue and always stand on the side of this. and just as the way. moreover, beijing has repeatedly called on the us to provide more information on american by a lot of racing overseas. and the growing concerns of bio weapons development. washington on the other hand, rejected those claims and went on to criticize china for refusing to condemn russia

. of it's offensive in ukraine, the vice president of the center for china and globalization thinktank big to go. he believes the u. s. d, from us words were inappropriate, and the nato shared responsibility for the ukranian conflict. a scene time best of burns remarks in beijing are completely misguided. why i think the world has its own eyes and can make its own judgment as to what are the root causes leading to the outbreak of the military operations. you great, or the war? be great. we need to really trace the reasons of the origins leading up to february the 24th. and there was no doubt that the continued expansion of nato was very much a contributing factor to the eventual outbreak of the ukraine. so i think mr. burns probably will do a better job by reading history and study in the reality is on the ground. rather

than claiming that nato is an innocent angel. as far as the outbreak of it is, the ukraine is concerned. no mid soaring energy prices in europe. german officials are wanting citizens to limit consumption of gas. they say the country may be left short of the fuel this winter. we are in a much worse crisis than most people realize. the more we save now, the better the situation will be in winter because the stores will fill up in while inflation levels in germany continue to saw this. combined with supply chain disruptions has led to the 1st trade deficit in more than 3 decades. there's also been a decline in manufacturing outputs, both in germany and within the u as a whole. and that's a phenomenon that was last seen at the onset of the pandemic. germany, it reduced its trade turnover with russia due to sanctions resulting in prices of

critical goods rising by more than 30 percent in may. that's according to the latest statistics. this has put the strain on the living cost of many consumers. judge hertzog, well, i would say to politics, fulfilled its tasks and hadn't, for 40 years conducted an energy policy that helped major corporations to get cheaper energy. and we wouldn't be facing this problem now. you covered it. i think it's unnecessary. i think we could have definitely prepared for it in advance. we can, i mean our gas storage isn't full and they could have already been always phone and so we failed to prepare. and so now we are all forced to save up just because our government makes mistakes now, and i don't get why one can't think ahead law yardly kinky, we will get a full scale crisis in 2 to 3 years. and then we'll have nothing at all to spend the most stupid thing the greens could do is to abolish it. the most stupid thing on earth d. that's my opinion. well, it seems that is unseat russian sanctions all having an increasing imparts on europe. ortiz nicky,

are and explains if it's russian slept with sanctions. that's been the unprecedented approach of the west ever since moscow launched it's offensive in ukraine to extends unseen since the 15th. when the soviet union was the target. everything from banks to airlines, entity to all the dogs have found that heavy weights of restrictions hung around the next and off the 5 most of penalties. the impact has been brutal only not so much for moscow. such a bold decision for europe to wave farewell to the days of cheap oil and gas from russia, especially knowing that current supplies would even see europe through the winter. in the event that we run out of russian gas and experience in averagely warm winter, the volume stored at the moment, including our obligations to transfer a gas to other european countries, will last for maybe one to 2 months. and it's becoming clear, the european union might not look so united when members find themselves squabbling by the who gets watch of the dwindling supply. for example,

there will probably be significant conflicts over distribution within the u, as it happened in 20152016 with the refugee crisis. then of course, there's the businesses that rely on that gas to operate without it and try industries will grind to a halt, creating mass unemployment leaving more people on the bread line and dealing a sucker. punch 2 economies. because of the gas bottlenecks, entire industries are in danger of permanently collapsing aluminum glass. the chemical industry. such a collapse would have massive consequences for the entire economy and jobs in germany. the looming energy crisis is already driving inflation to record highs, and that's really starting to hurt people where they feel at most, their pockets. oh hm

. yet for restaurants and will tell you it's a price worth paying? or is it because? well, western sanctions on russia has hit europe hard is beginning to look a little far fetched to claim that russia is the one being crippled with the rubel, hating a 7 year high against the dollar. russia is still in high demand. there's taken the european sanction slap and turns the other cheek to the east, where there are billions of willing customers for its energy supplies, food, and mineral exports. the unfortunate truth is that the road to making russia and international outcast is going to hurt more economies than intended rendering the west at risk of losing the international battle of narratives. sanctions have been the u. s. is go to form of punishment for decades, but they didn't work on cuba fell to, to north korea and did little to influence syria. yet when such a tool actually, boomerangs right back and snacks, you clean in the face. perhaps it's time for

a we think and strategy. we discuss the issue with the chief economist of the german de grocer bank, who says the sanctions always turns out blowback efforts. and germany is one of most obvious victims of this trend. o'connell m. huffman giovanni. the economists have warned that sanctions are always a double edged sword. now, because the country that is sanctioned, then resorts to counter sanctions. and that's what has happened now. some soon, the gas tap is turned off and this has now caused a great deal of damage and it will probably cause even more shocking the german economy, as well as the european one, is to dependent on energy inference from russia to allow this situation to continue come off, we can only hope that a solution will be found in the government. i think it has been underestimated how important energy imports from russia for the german economy also. so this is especially true for natural gas, which was helping the economy. but this competitive advantage is now gone yet see, this is a major blow to the german economy, which is now on a downward slide deck who says this is not just a cyclical slunk on this. it's a structural slump. and i suspect it will also be the biggest adjustment crisis of

the postwar period for the german economy with substantial losses in employment and production and oxygen. i'm moving on now. sweden's denied, reaching in a grange and arrangements with turkey to extradite terrorists suspects to ankara wasn't the early one had previously claimed. the countries had agreed on a specific number of subspace to be hunted over. but sweden seems to think otherwise. we will honor the memorandum fully and then there is, of course, no lists or anything like that. in the memorandum, as you can see, there is no mentioning of analysts or any numbers or anything in the memorandum. and then during our and negotiations in madrid, and there was also no mentioning of any numbers or specific lists and to my knowledge and we haven't got a specific lists to the government. however, the turkish presidents may declare that the agreement had been signed and turkey

expects his demands to be met or, and kara, may be forced to block sweden and finland as session to nato. well last week, target gave the green light to sweden and finland membership during the alliances summit in madrid, in order to convince or to remove its initial veto. the nordic states signed a memo focusing on joint anti terror corporation. who spoke to a political analyst from turkey, who believes and car it will now see no reason to approve sweden and finland entry into the block and trust between the countries has been undermined. we're seeing the swedish talked about, well, we didn't get at least we did agree upon a number that doesn't change the fact that there was extra edition talked about and behind closed doors, they were most like the promises made to the charts if they agreed to move forward with this message is coming from monkey right now or definitely that if we didn't, does not live up to its pledges. if finland does not live up to the promises made in the memorandum that there is no reason for to get to allow both of these

countries. and because at the end the day this is a collective security organization. and if you don't depend on your partners that you don't are not competing in your partners, if your partners are taking steps that endanger the security of your citizens, then then they have no place fighting shoulder to shoulder with you. inside such a collective security organization, the pillar is trust and how can you move forward with potential allies that you don't trust focused on governments. it's claiming iran cons policy has apologized to the us assistant secretary of state of a condo accusations that he was involved in the ousting of the former prime minister. we have obtained all records regarding p t as apology to lou evidence has been received regarding p. t. lead is meeting with the u. s. government where they tendered an apology. run cons party as denied making any sort of apology while the government refused to reveal it. sorts of mister con out that he wanted good

relations with all but would not allow any country to decide who would rule package done. doing anything in his arm about before being a jet from office. the p. m alleged that donald lew, assistant, secretary of state for south and central asian affairs, was involved in a conspiracy to topple his government. we heard from international law geopolitical analyst has done as long shot who claims the government is trying to pull iran con, under pressure by blaming him for the country. the current issues this holy claim that the former prime minister in wrong hon as apologized of the u. s. is nonsense . it does not make any sense whatsoever. in round is not the type of person who would make one statement in public. i. e, that there was a foreign conspiracy to oust him or to people's him. and then on top of that, he goes and i apologize, is the u. s. it doesn't look like that. i do believe that the, as the current government is coming on the increasing pressure because of our stocking inflation because of missed governance because people,

the masses are very angry with them about what's been happening in the country. therefore they're trying to deflect the blame, and they're trying to now sure that it is in ron con, was reaching out to the u. s. to apologize. it's laughable. it's a high created by them to try and malign. and ron, it's not working. it's back fighting because with every passing day and non has more and more support in the country. if they do have some evidence they should bring it forward. which as i said, does not exist. it's a figment of somebody's imagination trying to put pressure on iran and b d. i discard them because frustration has said in their camps. you see, you can make up stories, you can make up fantastic fables. but when the popularity of iran swells on the ground, then that will create panic for them and they will have to use these nuclear options to try and somehow malign run, make him look bad in the country. sure discredit him, but so far, nothing has looked in their favor. south africans are planning

a nationwide to protest to express their anger, overriding fuel prices are following international sanctions against russia. fuel prices out by 40 percent compared to last year, making it difficult for many to make ends meet. if local left is parties join the process, falling appeals on twitter, there is a risk that many public services could be suspended. the country has already experienced a 2 week power outage after south african electricity. public companies utility easily organized a walk out south africans are currently grappling not only with price hikes, also with rising unemployment, a general economic decline under few crisis. we spoke to a former status statistician from south africa. we believe the ukraine conflicts is aggravated the situation in the region because have a positive impact on the continent in the long term where it is was really just taking it also easy. we got called, well together to do things different a,

most of the cases where africa you seem strive. but because of itself in many countries where now this also for democrats, you guess on sources side as you get guns, you bad as being because of the west. so i think it, these wall of ukraine might keep the west quite dizzy. and i forgot not in the black, it might be there. i see. so that i can start concentrating on its own affairs or we see you place in the like that happening. what the mean? go that east of yes. the, the status of wall bad weather. the war has actually led to shortage. this used to be seen. oh, that's the latest from around the world. my name's peter scott's. i'll be back again to the top of the hour. but do feel free to head over to our social media

pages for more news and video content in the meantime. ah, ah, ah long more when i was showing wrong when old free, just don't hold any world yet to say proud disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.
