ah ah, the european parliament pack set proposal to out gallop sun nuclear energy to the use list of climate friendly sources outside the blocks energy crisis and electricity prices storing to all time height as done yet again comes under a heavy shelling from the ukranian army. the u. k is daily mirror newspaper blames moscow for it. despite the bow city being under the control of russian lead forces . also ahead as you could see, the eddie cope with having jeep their objectives off safely out of the battle soon. an rti cru films rushin helicopters, striking ukrainian military positions on the frontline cells. the russian made

horses continued their advance westward with iris jones since seemingly grasped up the straws and using the conflict in ukraine as a reason to remain in power. as he pleased with his party, not to dump him as british prime minister to support both in parliament and among the public appears to be rapidly slipping away with from moscow to the world. this is r t great to have your company today for the news our. my name's unit only. the european parliament has a rubber stamped an e u proposal to add gal. sudden nuclear power plants to the blocks list of climate friendly energy sources. it'll enable investments in this sector is 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. can 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 u sanctions on their own gas supply from russia, sent its members state, scrambling for whatever 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 and my call 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 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 renaissance 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 and 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 bed then including a 10 year old girl. but we can recap, know some of the latest shelling of done yet, so by ukrainian force as a warning,

disturbing images are head the the me, the the, the, the us, the mikey idea story. when you do the deal. he also know we need to me

he asked and breaking testimony there. well, an article meanwhile headlined russia in blitz antonette cause being published by britain daily mirror. it shows smoke rising on their 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 accompany 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 up. tomato said, western countries need to be aware that the weapons they are supplying are being used against civilians. loosely quote unquote, 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 uses western weapons against civilians in order to terrorize them. this same state terrorism as it is will flushing 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 down historian and the boise mileage who pointed out the paper as far from the only outlet to have published inaccurate stories during the conflict that 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. i told you rockets, 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 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 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 political perspective on another and use line . the russian defense ministry say's it's are a force has destroyed to us made highmore as rocket launchers in ukraine. the ministry also claims to warehouses with munition, for those weapons were destroyed. the long range systems have been titled as a game changer for a key of forces by the us who delivered the lethal aid recently to ukraine. rushes

m o. d also said a ukrainian radar station used to guide anti or missile units was destroyed, along with a base, housing mercenaries, laughter, russian lead forces secured the last ukranian stronghold in the region over the weekend. there now reportedly advancing west. you can see here the city of subversive, where a fortified area under ukrainian control is located. as rushing lead troops moved 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 steer reports from the front line. 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, russian helicopters, 2 of them, they were always flying in, bears that even in trios were very close to shed ask, which is where ah,

ukrainian nationalists, the ukrainian military is making a stand off the retreating from the city of new to chance about 7 or 8 kilometers further than 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 mans filming, as we speak, applying relatively high so they must feel comfortable that enemy add the fences in this sector have been suppressed. lease is what is called close air support. helicopters floating salvoes 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 like this, 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 on the trails for together. well, this is where the spots, 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 auth hillary to deploy band ad g 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, already, ukraine understands well the deteriorating conditions on the front lines, casualties of up to a 1000 wounded and killed per day, or catching up. as this week, ukrainian officials announced that women now faced the draft and all to planned to forbid military aged men from leaving their home provinces to prevent them from dodging the draft. all showing how far here was 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 fake with a guns and equipment. he was posing with all replica. this account hasn't been deleted and you can read all about it. so r t dot com know 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 staff 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, which some politicians think aren't being replaced quickly enough. we have given away all training stocks. oh, in law. oh, i'm at all rush and other munitions to the ukrainians. what are we doing to galvanize the supply chain back to a war time capability that will provide resilience of stalked? because the moment we simply can't replace their stop slope. thank you guys, but actually if you look at what's happening in both boss, they are, they're making a lot of them. 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 the world replacing. and you mentioned n laws. we have stock policy which being depleted with shorter, deep fire capabilities, rocket artillery, ad defense and indeed hyper sonics as well. this is where the current to a conflict is moving. the important thing is to have the best possible equipment for those are 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. this my thought johnston says he's not going anywhere, citing his handling of russia's offensive as one reason why he must remain in power . it's not brave for you to carry on degrees. i think it might be, you're hurting the country, prime minister, just on a very human level. hell, you must know that it's in the country's interest for you to leave. now i look at the i live the precious 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, because of the biggest war in europe for, for 8 years. and i count for the life of me see how it is responsible just to, to walk away from that. as i said earlier on in mpm 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. 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, paste himself with his church indian leader on that he night needs to remain as prime minister to see us through a conflict. i mean, this is, this is typical. typical johnson he's, he's hitting out is desperate. he's lost the confidence of the british people. he's got the confidence of not just, not just the back bench m p 's, but now we're talking cabinet minister. so the pressure is mounting on it. 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, a one, a general election of the back of the falcons 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 him. but everybody else can see through this, and as it would be a disaster for him to stay, or no, it's a big issue in many countries, but in south africa, surging fuel prices have sparked public outrage. triggering calls for a nation wide 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 purse in the country are struggling to make ends meet side african authorities have yet to align to any measures to ease the burden blood for a nation wide protest for secret on twitter and crew significantly after left wing party, the economic freedom fighters in one state was barking 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 mig, of energy to be hi, automatically human because of needing to be high. it's a serious me, most in africa, especially in my country that you know, bringing down many of those into pulpits on seriously, affecting the bottom line under possibility, or succeeded. because i'm talking to, you know, about 40 to 50 percent or denied general budget is the detector. to pay for dispose of unused, all right, because you have to pay to what you. so this is really not for us in africa, but i mean, you might want to, you know, you know, well, so many people on the property into confusion of living is good to how inflation no . inflation was close to 7 percent. so when you look at those dynamics, you find out that it is actually very, very difficult for especially when an ongoing crisis that was happening between

western europe on russia, where the supply chain is you don't need to sort a new or didn't energy, energy, destruction the u. s. is reportedly pushing the netherlands to bon computer chip making gear from being sold to china. the equipment is essential and making a large chunk of the world's semiconductors use. for example, in bank ac, ems trains on the internet or t corresponding kill if nothing can tell us more. on the dutch company, known as a s m l is being reported by bloomberg to have been receiving pressure from the u. s. government to stop rating semiconductors with china now alternately, that will benefit chinese producers and it's certainly u. s. strategic interest. 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. policy like this have heard the united states on the global markets in the past, ultimately benefits companies that are in competition with 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 ship, you know, they were basically put pressure on them by the us government. they were banned from making a deal. and ultimately the economic consequences were not good. that was an

instance where we thought many voices in the united kingdom questioning the u. s. policy that some would say amount to economic warfare. basically, the u. s. government pressuring and using its power to prevent trade between corporations and other parts of the world. ah, another story to bring you today. the supreme court of the west african nation of guinea bas so has overturned the convictions of 2 men charged in the country's biggest narcotics seizure. the court found the evidence presented could not support the guilty verdict under 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 busts in the country. of almost 2 tons of cocaine, hidden in facts of flour, the country had been labeled africa was 1st norco state by the you and in 2013. due to its heavy involvement in drug trafficking. similar groups and gimme 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 trans at point for shipping co came from south america to europe using ships and planes to smuggle the drugs into the country. they then repack 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 kinda, for especially gustavo de carvalho said guinea, bizarre officials face 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 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 the 30, the reasons overturn off of 2019 decision show some of these challenges, i think presidency circle has been made, hasn't made some of the promise during peach electrical pain around red trafficking, but it's certainly facing many challenges around be 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 much in america to you, getting reliable data in terms of what is actually happening on the ground becomes very difficult to just came from from, from a period. it can be so, and when you're asked those questions are when you're trying to get the data is really hard. which makes it more difficult considering the fact that the united

nations office for drugs and crime which in principle should be waking on some of those matters is working with can get solar base from each office concurrently. so we still have a process of ensuring the meta data is available to allow us not only to get a better sense of what it's happening, but also using the data to into a public policy. an international responses towards the problem tracks and crime in get and so in, in the gym. more laundry, close to 200 civilians have reportedly been killed in arrest of area of ethiopia. the countries prime minister act choose 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 come under

a massacre. we will pursue this terrorist group to the end and eradicate mm the government special for has not been able to lead a lot, much of the populates because 1st of all of the high civil make arrest in most part of the region before the election. there was high tension amongst most part of it. and because of the dedication in related, jones with darby said they have not been a distribution of resources in reference to hospitals, food and security, all of up. so dave, dave, access an opportunity for b rebels to capitalize on 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 interesting delegation from both parties. government

and the rebel groups for them to come to an a portable conclusion. lots are a lot for now. i but for all the latest developments today to give us a follow and twitter will make sure you don't miss any of the updates monitored, this is our t international in for a with though she had them with the machine to restock and just look up from room of not only a muscle onion noon,

she kitty doesn't being in the green show on a nurse domingos place soup. mama cook gas, gosh, sit critic, somebody to look up to his ashley of this one. it was a group of pieces. goes down to come here for this one to move 3 if this sort of cool position to p admitted to you, but not, not, but the key for the chino drawings to network for furnished, arrived something like that. and then we'd go at that point, did that might be worth a 1000000 lives residential grain, mika had them ah, well, john mitchell alex, she's just c columbia. no, not in columbia, nobody but i just part of the language italian. my real

name is logical is law school of college with orange, a fit on which it is public is here to be numbers. if you feel okay that make it look like with no she did the way volley. april really not is on resources. you know that there was no way it was yellow. they just had that got on the bus is done by 5th in deal. this would not have happened for vito vitamin didn't push this agenda. this war was that because on the other seat or so, and you said what about a, a good a .
