when so many find themselves well, depart, we choose to look for common ground in the european parliament back that proposal to our general nuclear energy to the use of climate friendly sources, that block energy prices and electricity prices soaring to all time i've done. yet again, comes under a heavy shelling from the ukranian army, the daily mirror newspaper, blame moscow for it. despite the city being under the control of russian. that force is also ahead. as you can see, the helicopter, just having their objectives safety out of the battle zone. an rti cruise rush and helicopter,

striking ukrainian military positions on the front line of the russian sled forces continued their advance westward. as johnson seemingly grasped up at the straws, using the conflict in ukraine as a reason to remain in our thoughts as he pleased with his party, not to dump him as a prime minister. but the support both in parliament among the public appears to be rapidly slipping. away the from moscow to the world. this is great to have your company today for the news hour. my names unit, only the european parliament has a rubber stuck to an e. you proposal to our gas nuclear power plants through the blocks list of climate friendly energy sources. it'll enable investments in this sectors to be labeled as green from the start of next year. as the commission believes, there is

a role for private investment in gas and nuclear activities in the green transition . it has proposed the classification of certain fossil gas and nuclear energy activities as transitional activities contributing to climate change mitigation off the car. i feel badly for environmentalists at this point. they must feel so gas slit right now. i mean at this rate by next week, smokestacks are going to be deemed green energy. could you imagine being environmentalists today and being in a conversation with the leadership of the european union and trying to argue that gas fossil fuels are bad for the environment and suddenly they're telling you in some cask i ask logic that no, actually they're not the european union is officially just move the goal posts on what constitutes green energy voting today in brussels, to label these investments in gas and nuclear energy as green. and it seems that just yesterday, germany was pushing to accelerate its renewable energy expansion to 80 percent of

the country's power mixed by the year 2030 and the conflict in ukraine. only major music army minister, robert havoc, double down on that promise. on the one hand, the climate crisis is coming to a head. on the other hand, rushes invasion shows how important it is to face out fossil fuels and promote the expansion of renewables. you see, but that was before the impact of the new sanctions on their own gas supply from russia sent its members state scrambling for what ever energy it could get its hands on even if it meant reverting to dirty. cool. in germany's case all while pretending that it wouldn't dent it's green goals. france was also feeling the heat from environmentalists over its nuclear power plants which were neglected and allowed to corrode with a view of, you know, phasing them out and shutting them down to replace them with greener, renewable energy. but then french president manual mccall took

a 1st step towards reverting back to france's bread and butter. and he solved the country's nuclear image problem earlier this year. by successfully you lobbying the european commission to draft a proposal labeling nuclear energy as green. just in time for my call to promote a new french nuclear renee sauce in his re election campaign. so you see what was dirty is now magically clean and what was the past is now the future all with just the simple stroke of pen. so move over when males in solar panels, the future of sustainable clean energy is natural gas, fossil fuel, and nuclear reactors. in what's clearly a triumph of pragmatism, over ideology, as berlin, paris and other european capital struggle to replace russian gas while steering down a winter of potential energy shortages all bets are off. so, you know, sorry,

environmentalists, the you no longer has the luxury of fussing around with wall paper while the house is burning down here, let's get the latest now from the conflict and done boss where ukrainian troops continue to shell, done yet, sc city. and it's art skirts and it has been another deadly and tragic day for civilians were reportedly killed on wednesday, including 3 children. this eye witness flooded shows smoke from a blaze after strikes bombarded the city that comes out of the civilian death tool has been rising steadily and that done yet. republic over the past few days, dots coming after russian lead forces to control over the neighboring new ganske republic. on on tuesday, ukrainian shelling also left at least 3 people dead then including a 10 year old girl. but we can recap, know some of the latest shelling of done yet sc by ukrainian force. as a warning,

disturbing images are ahead. ah . 7 me i need you to see my d. i. d a story. brady. when you agree you did. he did also. no good news to me.

yes. and the breaking testimony there. well, an article meanwhile headlined russia in blitz london. yes. it has been published by britain daily mirror. it shows smoke rising on the don bow city skyline, claiming it was the result of the russian bombardment. thus, despite done yet being under the control of russian lead forces and its citizens having to live through shelling from kiev forces for several years. the photo that accompanied the outlet story feature the building size banner reading. we are russian don boss, but that message appeared lost in translation by those riding the story. russia stopped diplomat, i said western countries need to be aware that the weapons their supplying are being used against civilians. loosely cool, cool. well, in short, they are lying on the fax, well known on defense minister, presented them on a daily basis. but western countries, of course,

must be aware of their responsibilities regardless of what an how's the lensky and his team wants to interpret what's going on. the west must be aware of its responsibility for the death of civilians, primarily in the dumbass would also in other parts of ukraine. why the key of regime use is western weapons against civilians in order to terrorize them. this same state terrorism as it is little shooting with what we have contacted the daily mirror for comment on will bring you any response. if one comes. my colleague peter scullen spoke with serbian american journalist on historian and a boy sham mileage. who pointed out the paper as far from the only outlet to have published inaccurate stories during the conflict. 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, like gross, factual error,

a crime against journalism. if there ever was any 1st time, something like this happened earlier on during the during ukrainian showing of a city proper by poach can walk. it's a number of western outlets made the same mistake. so this was run showing and the ukrainian government actually said, you know, these are, are people getting killed and not yet, but obviously it was ukrainian government showing them do explain 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 russian 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 press to 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 1900 ninety's in the western press directed against the serbs in yugoslavia. literally in their eyes, russia can do nothing can do no. right, and, and the ukrainian 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 political perspective. on another and use line, the russian defense ministry said it's air force, us destroy to us made highmore as rocket launchers in ukraine. the ministry also claims to warehouses with ammunition for those weapons were destroyed. the long rain systems had been totaled as a game changer for kids forces by the u. s. who delivered the lethal

a recently to ukraine. russia to m o. d also said a ukrainian radar station used to guide anti or missile units was destroyed, along with a base housing mercenaries. well after russian lead forces secured the last ukranian stronghold in the region over the weekend, they're not reportedly advancing west. you can see here the city of subversive, where a fortified area under ukrainian control is located. as rushing lead troops move forward, the ukrainian leadership has admitted their troops have lost control over a number of towns on the way to subversive or senior correspondent morocco. steve reports from the frontline, after the liberation of lease, he chanced a city of a quarter of a 1000000 people. the battle has moved westwards at they're in the distance law rush and helicopters, 2 of them they were always flying in bears that even in trios,

we're very close to shed ask, which is where ah ukrainian nationalists. the ukrainian military is making a stand after retreating from the city of lisa chance, about 7 or 8 kilometers over there. and the distance is the least 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, flying relatively high so they must feel comfortable that enemy add the fences in this sector have been suppressed. this is what is called close air support. helicopters floating salvos of rockets, its enemy positions before diving back towards the ground, while deploying flares to throw off any heat seeking missiles thought at them. this

particular group of helicopters circled back behind us. as you can see, the helicopters just behind us having having achieved their objectives are safely out of the battle zone. but again, this, this concludes they not 4 of them. in fact i as we usually see them in the trees for together. well, this is rare, despite the thousands of anti aircraft systems supplied by nate who states the key of ukrainian forces have been unable to close the skies to russian helicopters and jetson cruise missiles.

ah, more than that, ukraine has stepped up its use of rocket artillery to deploy band haji personnel mines, which it had promised the international community. it had destroyed years ago. williams in the liquid, 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 on roads, highways, and on approaches to cities. coastal loading ukraine understands well the deteriorating conditions on the front lines, casualties of up to a 1000 wounded and killed cuz 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 here others prepared to go. to make sure that it has enough bodies to feed its war machine more, i'd gas the of our tea from the la guns people's republic, the, the pro kiev canadian fighter, are beaten in battle by twitter. 120000 people were following him on the social network thinking he was the real deal only to find out he was a faith with the guns and equipment he was posing with all replica. this account has since been deleted and you can read all about it to r t dot com. now if the headlines in the british press or anything to go by bar as johnson's days in dunning street, or well, and truly numbered an avalanche of resignation from key members of his cabinet and stuff has been unfolding, leading to claims the games up for the prime minister threat. wednesday johnson faced a grilling on everything from his conduct and trustworthiness to the weapons being

sent to ukraine with some politicians think aren't being replaced quickly enough. we have given away all training stokes. oh and law. oh, i'm at all rush on other munitions to the ukrainians. what are we doing to galvanize the supply chain back to a war time capability that will provide resilience to stocks because of the moment we simply can't replace their stock slope. thank you as, but actually if you look at what's happening in both us, they are, they're making a lot of it. they're not replacing as fast as we're giving them away. that is the fact that it's true that they take a while to make, but we're replacing them and you mentioned animals. we have stock policy which are being depleted with shorter, deep fire capabilities, rocket artillery ad defense. and i did hypoth sonics as well. this is where the character of conflict is moving. the important thing is to have the best possible equipment for those those, those troops. and that's what we did well,

the u. k. p. n has been concentrating his efforts of late on sending military aid to kiev. and while his approval rating in ukraine is a staggering 90 percent back home, it's in free fall, but less than a quarter of the public supporting him. despite that, johnson says he's not going anywhere. siding his handling of russia's offensive as one reason why he must remain in power is not brave. she used to carry on degrees. i think it might be, you're hurting the country, prime minister, just on a very human level, kelly, you must know that is in the country's interest for you to leave. now i look at the live the pressures of people who are under the need, the government to focus on that on, on, on their priorities, which is what we are doing. i look at the biggest war in europe for 8 years, and i count for the life of me and see how it is responsible just to, to walk away from that. as i said earlier on in in pm cute international editor of

the morning, star newspaper, steve sweeney police bars. johnston is failing in his attempt to use the conflict in ukraine as a reason to remain in power. you know, johnson has taken the line of blaming everybody else except himself for, you know, for the difficulties, the easy. but he's also using you, craig and saying that, you know, he's almost, you know, paged himself with his church indian leader. and that he night needs to remain as prime. it is to to see us through a conflict. i mean, this is, this is typical. typical johnson he's, he's his now is desperate. he's lost the confidence of the british people. he's got the confidence of not just, not just back been champions, but now we're talking cabinet minister. so the pressure is mounting on a month. and of course as every leader has done in the past, margaret thatcher did it when she was in great difficulty. she, you know, she, the one a general election of the back of the full comes conflict and this is absolutely no

different. and he's trying to run a patriotic support for him as data and saying that it will be a desire to remove, to remove it. but everybody else can see through this, and as it would be a disaster for him to stay or not, it's a big issue in many countries, but in south africa, surging fuel prices have sparked public outrage. triggering calls for a nationwide protest prices at the pumps. there are and i 40 percent off compared to last year with the fuel rises in part coming by because of sanctions against russia. b increases mean many of the pursed in the country are struggling to make ends meet side african authorities have yet to align to any measures to ease the burden plans for a nationwide protest. for separate on twitter and crew significantly after left wing party, the economic freedom fighters and launch, it was backing and move a former nigerian presidential hopeful ottoman garb. i believe the ukraine crisis

has had a considerable impact on humanitarian conditions on the continent. when you make the of energy to be higher or too much, can you mend you couple of needing to be high it to see those 2 most in africa, especially in my country nigeria bringing down many of the students into poets on seriously affecting the bottom line under possibility, or succeeded, because i'm talking to, you know, about 40 to 50 percent or deny genome budget is the detector paid for dispose of on his dollars because you have to pay to get what. so this is really not 14 africa. i mean, you might want to know, you know, well, so many people on the property into confusion on living is good to how inflation no different inflation goes to 7 percent. so when you look at all those dynamics, you find out that it is actually very, very difficult, especially when you want an ongoing crisis that is happening between western europe

on russia, where the supply chain is you don't need to energy energy dysfunction. the u. s. is reportedly pushing the netherlands to bon computer chip, making gear from being sold to china. the equipment is essential in making a large chunk of the world. semiconductors used, for example, in bank a, t. m. trains on the internet or t corresponding killer. nothing can tell us more. while the dutch company, known as a s m l is being reported by bloomberg to have been receiving pressure from the us government to stop trading semiconductors with china. now alternately, that will benefit chinese producers and it serves us strategic interests. people are wondering if this is indeed a fair policy. now, a s m l did not make a decision to ultimately comment on the matter. they declined to directly combat.

here's what they said. the discussion is not new, no decisions have been made and we do not want to speculate or comment on rumors. now the u. s. commerce secretary did make clear back in march, that it was the policy of the united states to put pressure on countries, not to trade, semiconductors with china or russia. here's what was said by the u. s. official. if we find that they are selling ships to russia, then we can essentially shut them down by denying them use of that software. and we're absolutely prepared to do that. policies like this have heard the united states on the global markets in the past, ultimately benefits companies that are in competition with the united states. chinese producers of semiconductors and other and it's important to note there was an incident. one will recall where the south korean company called magnet shit. you know, they were basically put pressure on them by the us government. they were banned for making a deal. and ultimately the economic consequences were not good. that was an instance

where we saw many voices in the united kingdom questioning these us policies that some would say amount to economic warfare. basically, the u. s. government pressuring and using its power to prove that trade between corporations and other parts of the world can know the story to bring you today. the supreme court of the west african nation of guinea, but so has overturned the convictions of 2 men charged in the country's biggest narcotics seizure. the court following the evidence presented could not support the guilty verdict. 100 done in 2020 the choose drug lords, waller columbia national. the other local were sentenced to 16 years in prison following the largest ever drug bus in the country of almost 2 tons of cocaine. hidden in facts of flower, the country had been labeled africa's 1st norco state by the you and in 2013, due to its heavy involvement in drug trafficking. similar groups and guinea bizarre

slammed the supreme court's decision, seeing it undermines the credibility of legal institutions in the country. the court was hostage to organized crime. the ruling jeopardizes efforts to combat transnational organized crime and discredits the country's image and credibility. well, let's show you how it's done. colombian drug dealers use guinea. bizarre as a transit point for shipping. co came from south america to europe using ships and planes to smuggle the drugs into the country. they've been repacked the cocaine, into smaller bundles and transported through the sahara to morocco. after that, the narcotic finds its way to spain, with migrants transporting the drug. in their stomachs are for jennifer, especially gustavo de carvalho saves guinea. bizarre officials faced serious challenges and trying to stop the country from becoming an even bigger drug transit point. to the recent development team you never saw show much got a problem than just the issue of drug trafficking, but rather

a systemic problem in the country. having a strong judiciary and having strong rule of law in government systems that enable the states to actually deal with some, some of those issues. so certainly the reasons overturn off of 2019 decision show some of these challenges. i think presidency circle has been made and hasn't made some of the promise to increase electro pain around trafficking, but it's facing many challenges around a she have an effect of security sector reform. the can effectively deal with the culture and all of the many islands that exist outside of the country and making sure that the country stops becoming or ment remaining as a transit point for drugs that are coming from latin america to you, getting reliable data in terms of what it's actually happening on the ground becomes very difficult to just came from from, from a period. how can i be so, and when you're asked those questions,

when you're trying to get the data is very hard. which makes even more difficult considering the fact that the united nations office for drugs and crime which principal should be working on some of those matters is where we're going to tell a base from each office. and so we still have a process of ensuring the data is available that allow us not only to get a better sense of what it's happening, but also using the data to into it's a public policy and international responses towards the problem tracks and crime in get him so any more laundry, close to $200.00 civilians have reportedly been killed in a rest of the area of ethiopia. the country's prime minister accused the o l. f. shane rebel group of carrying out the mosque or in a roomier region. ah

citizens in your omeo regions, quillen well an area have him under a massacre. we will pursue this terrorist group to the end and eradicate mm the government vessel for has not been able to read about that much of the population because 1st of all, of the high civil make arrest in most part of the region before the election. that was high pension, amongst most part of it appears. and because of the dedication in like related jones with darby said they have not been an equitable distribution of resources in reference to hospitals, food and security, all of up. so they give access an opportunity for b rebels to capitalize upon the increase in pension. and with that, it would be hard for them to get control for what have to be done currently to, to show peace grade is to get interested delegation from both parties,

government and the rebel groups for them to come to an equitable conclusion. well, that's our lot for now. i. but for all the latest developments today, do give us a follow on twitter. we'll make sure you don't miss any of the updates monitored this is our t international. ah . with oh, when i want something wrong, when i just don't hold any new world yet to see how disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah hm. sri lanka has become the 1st southeast asian country in 2022, unable to pay its foreign debt. this total is $51000000000.00 you end up doing the vol. reading face such a economic challenge. the sanctions imposed by western countries against russia have brought this island nation to its knees. oil prices have skyrocketed as have petrol medicine and food for the laser,

brice has gone up to one percent. thousands of people took to the streets and this is just the beginning. a similar scenario could unfold in bangladesh, nepal, pakistan, and other asian countries in africa to talk to. so can it them with some of us with the same old western tribe victims won a debate. it could be an individual, an industrial company, or even an entire country, still lend money and then you have to pay it back. with huge interest, our partners are very excited to welcome a u. s. enhanced economic engagement with the region. we know the west can the industrialized, any country they won, they've done it with japan, korea, taiwan, singapore, malaise, yeah. oh geo political reasons. now they do it that the, the newer same exactly the same.
