ah, a everyone should know that we by and large you haven't actually started anything serious. yeah. let me put in warned the west against a hindering moscow piece. talked with care of as russian troops continued to advance in the dumbass. our correspondent reports from the front line here at once ukrainian artillery positions are russian self propelled pallets is 152 millimeter houses far and at ukrainian positions. here. this city upset with african nations are having to bear the burden of the west economic sanctions against russia, amid fuel shortages and rapidly escalating costs. and russia send its 1st cargo

shipment by train to india via a new route along the caspian bypassing western sanctions. with broadcasting live direct, most studios in moscow, this is our to international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to have you with us now. russia still wants to negotiate a peace deal for ukraine, but western efforts to bolster cube in its refusal to sit down for talks could see moscow step up its military operation. that's according to the latest warning from russian president vladimir putin. soon your most lucian. today we're hearing that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. what can i say? and they're welcome to try. we've heard many times that the west wants to fight us to the last ukrainian. this is a tragedy for the cranium people. but it seems that things are indeed coming to this. however,

everyone should know that we by enlarge having to actually started anything serious . yet at the same time, we do not refuse piece talk. but those who do refuse, and you should know that the further they go, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us. now, to the latest developments on the war in ukraine, as russia is military reports, it has taken out a deployment point for foreign mercenaries and ukraine's northern nikolai of region, as well as destroyed munition depos that had been used by gives forces for their attacks on the done yes, the republic in the neighboring lugens republic, russian led forces have been advancing westward after claiming control of the last ukrainian stronghold. there are senior correspondent, gods. you have visited russian artillery positions near the city of lucy johnson. he sent us this report. ah, sitting here high up, you can already hear and you can see how bitter the fighting is over there. perhaps

an ammunition dump or storage site had been hit. you may hear multiple rocket launcher systems in action by the sound of it grad missiles. but the entire horizon is on fire over there. the are the big fire plumes of smoke behind the power lines also across the horizon right there in the distance impacts that is russian auxilary, striking at ukrainian positions in the vicinity of the city of savvy ask russian artillery. the snow, secretive, has been a decisive factor on the battlefield and here in the fields of the countryside, the dumbass is his beam high by axes, here at once ukrainian artillery positions ah, russian self propelled how it says $152.00 millimeter houses firing at ukrainian positions near the city of sierra

every shot for to kaos for cause complicated calculations, mathematics, solid intelligence, and guidance from forces and drones. women williamson agnew worked for youth. lydia but she knew girl, it said, why do you not that you love it? my dear, civilly, my dear them, when i sleep through them, because the genie at the colace, i know we will open e at the vena if they've eaten up. but what it does is that the keys are put this inc, i mean, nation, but that has been with same us with the hardness either either positon, they put up a voice, especially in the brief window after they receive additional native weapon shipments and before they are a close called several opinion shell, now impacted in that field over there were 510 minutes since it's unclear what

they're shooting out. there's absolutely nothing there it's, it's empty but probably to get her probably best to, to get away. so these here are used to the sundering violence, a carry on with their lives. this woman bikes to milk her cows. every day she told us how ukrainian troops here deserves and their posts they can seeking. it's true, they ran away from the korean soldiers told us that up commands i've had flat even before they did. they were only surgeons left behind is another position abandoned by ukrainian troops and nationalists who fled this area just to the west of the city of luther chance, a 50 caliber browning, machine gun supplied by nato states, most likely abandoned here without the ammunition belt. but over here also,

we found foreign grenade launchers and anti tank missiles. this, this is polish. not a 100 percent. sure what this is in our g a g 90 hi believe. but all of this again, supplied by both of states still unused. and now in the hands of russian troops and allied forces. morale among ukrainian troops is dismal, tells us every local we've talked to, and ukrainian soldiers who without any training were thrown into the front lines armed with weapons that they had no idea how to use believe that they are being used as kind of father to feed russian artillery or at guys the of odyssey for the lugens people's republic. meanwhile, the family of

a 10 year old girl who was killed a few days ago in the shelling of the city of daniel by ukrainian forces has gathered to mourn and bury the child. they warning for viewers, you may find the falling images distressing that then you still have, i can't convey what i'm feeling with words or with tears. i have just one question for the government and from all sides. what is this for? what are children dying for? how many little angels do you need for this to stop? i ask you, i don't want to curse any one. i wouldn't want to wish this on anybody. which is why is this? why are we bearing our kids? you thought you and you come when you i wouldn't wish this even on an enemy, or what has this little angel done to you? she suffered to clinical deaths. she tried so hard to get out of the hospital. the artillery shall landed and now she's gone. what is this for? the family said the girl was sitting in front of her home when

a shell fired by ukrainian forces landed in the middle of the street. the munition exploded and shards of metal sprayed out ripping her little body apart. now this video shows pools of blood on the street where the girl had been, gives horses have been intensifying the artillery tax on danielle killing. more than $230.00 people there, including 16 children in recent months, according to local officials. huge lines at gas stations in ethiopia as the east african country struggles with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating costs. some drivers said that they were waiting as long as 8 hours for diesel authorities have increased the price of diesel by 38 percent as they cut government fuel subsidies. previously, if you open consumers would pay only a 4th of the regular global rates for the fuel because of the states, aid costs have been skyrocketing around. the world is transport disruptions and punitive sanctions have impacted supplies of a central commodities. because as i look, i think it was a hasty decision. it is not taken poor people into consideration when transport

providers increase prices, the merchants, and turn increase the price of their goods. therefore, we are the ones affected. i've been in the queue for at least 45 minutes. i think the fuel crisis is a global problem. i think it is related to the lack of stability globally. we'll understand there is supply chain disruption that most of the global oil supplies due to a lack of peace. i don't think it's fair to blame the government while there was a lack of supply. you know, when we have learned that russia and ukraine contribute a lot to the world, obviously that is why the cost of living and fuel prices have increased heavily due to the conflict between these 2 countries in an unprecedented way. the world will greatly benefit if there is peace between these 2 countries. we heard from economists to get a true alamo about how global economic issues have severely impacted ethiopian consumers allows you to an input dependent economy. so obviously the countries,

the conflict in ukraine and, and it's, it's 6. the analysis in the global commodity price has, has a fixed it over on macro stand, speculated ex, did the external stance of, of the economy. so that, that as the pressure into the all into it, into the existing local pressure scanning from, from logan scenarios in the local challenges coming from different directions. so that has actually added to that already existing pressure. and which, which has really challenge the fiscal position of the government, the government needed to actually do dramatic her decisions of, of, of withdrawing critical subsidies elsewhere on the continent. there are. busy cause for nationwide protests in south africa as fuel prices have risen to record highs with many people in the country struggling to make ends meet or people in clear

explain. the price of fuel has gone up again in south africa climate, maybe 50 percent in the last year alone. johnson this week it broke a new record so many people choosing to work from home while truck drivers flocked main roads in protest and planned more strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more fit up with the constant hikes and blame the government for not regulating fuel prices. and that's putting more pressure on the economy. everything is expensive. we suffered a close. everything is going on with the problem to all of us. when into almost one, those 100-1000. so is that a very they had flies, we would be our president have to because this be somebody who would mean maybe 50 speak to dad did that i'd people,

maybe they can make something. they can reduce the petra. it's really hurting my pocket a lot because i mean, i think from when i started driving 7 years ago, the, the price of petrol is doubled. and putting in 200 ran just for a day of hardly driving anyways. it's horrible there's, there's a lot of rates and taxes, but i think it's a bit overkill at the moment. i think that they can be a better solution. but the government says it's hands are tied because south africa depends on international markets for its fuel supplies. with between 70 and 80 percent of local fuel coming from foreign import. since february, when russia and ukraine went to war, international oil prices have risen dramatically. russia is the world's 3rd largest producer of crude oil. the waste economic sanctions on moscow have lived poor african countries literally having to pay the price south africa's neighbors, along with other african countries, have subsequently been rocked by protests,

destructive for, for, for african economy. the situation in this crisis that we are facing, if not in the interest of africa, it has to end. we have to, we want to see negotiation and negotiation that, that achieves peace and negotiation. that actually is a rush of interest respects russian interests, but also respects the interest of the cleaners. what would love to see as just wasting a piece of bereavement, where things can go up to norma. it's been painful for us. it's been damaging, as we already live in the continent with millions are living in poverty for the high are expected next month when the petroleum government says it in a temporary fuel subsidy program because it can no longer afford it. the result is cash strapped to consumers being pushed to crisis point, many of whom already cannot afford the more than 50 percent increase in food

products and they're threatening to take to the streets, the lack of a solution. now leave both the country and the region closer to crisis point policy r t no space. russia has sent its 1st cargo shipment by train to india via a new transferred route and being developed along the caspian, the so called north south corridor spans 8000 kilometers through iran and the central asia republics of catholics down and took medicine. the route is being promoted as unaffected by western sanctions. now the 1st container train departed this week from the check off station near moscow. there was another initial test run from st. petersburg to india last month as well. the transit time is about $35.00 days. russian president vladimir putin has said the caspian region should become a major logistics hub. the russian ambassador to india said this week, the bilateral trade is expected to increase 40 percent this year. we heard from

a rajiv screen, a former secretary for eastern affairs at india's foreign ministry who spoke highly of the benefits of the new rote. it's also a shorter route and the shorter route means less time with beans, cheaper transportation. i think a cash pin drop would also enable goods to be transported to boat to and from the or owls and siberia to india much shorter way rather than going all the way up to the black sea. these are also energy rich countries and the, i'm sure that they would also like to diversify their exports and look at the new markets for their energy and other products because they're all very rich and raw materials and other resources which india needs. as it's economy is willing to grow in the coming years, the euro has weekend to a 20 year low versus the us dollar. as the energy crisis pushed up,

inflation rates within the block to more than 8 percent. last month. the euro fell by more than one percentage point versus the dollar on tuesday alone. and by thursday, the currency had nearly the same value. the decline of the european currency is linked to fears of a recession amid rapidly rising costs of living. meanwhile, in germany's 2nd largest city homburg authorities plan to ration hot water amid an acute shortage of natural gas used for heating the country, which is the use. largest economy has also reported its 1st monthly trade deficits since 1991. as local companies face surgeon, costs of import them, supply chain disruptions. economies of southern european countries are also struggling as severe droughts have hit the region, constricting hydro, electric power, production and mounting fears for the agricultural sector. as the energy shortage continues to work in the crisis, mainstream media outlets say that european economies may face their highest

inflation rates ever. economists also warn of a looming recession, not only in europe, but also in the u. s. the president of bricks. international forum says the use economic problems have been around for some time, and the war ukraine has made them worse. use having their internal problems because they are having inflation from long time. and now you, you train on play engraved because they are having their internal problems. because democrat is one site and policies are implemented by the united states in european funding. this is one sceptre because every country can not be seen. all 3 of them can not be seen and europe are this thing more the deciding what they're doing. everything for you to open union need to think how they can work and how they can compete defense lobby because

be and was there. and i'm wondering if may need to be what the balance meanwhile, the bricks group, which is seen as an emerging market alternative to the west, is set to expand argentina, which is facing an economic crisis. and soaring, inflation says it has received a china's formal support to join the president of bricks. international form, again says the application shows that the groups policies are proving to be both successful and attractive to others currently in the present, the doing the nation. and then we're not finding and they understand very well. so the competition in euro, which they have among europeans, are doing now doing the work or the continent. and they are losing on because mass. and i see that it's not progressing. and it is high time that we can

see how big they are, the more station demand sitting and showing the policies duty. we also mixed and played very important role. and now doing this conflict for you. 3 countries sunday, se shy and just plain view. i says it wants its allies in the g 20 to blame the global grain crisis on russia. that is, despite moscow saying that ukraine is the one refusing to de mine, it's waterways in order to enable exports by sea and is our cheese. rachel blevins explains western countries are seemingly ignoring their own record of using food as a weapon. this week's meeting of g 20 leaders may not include plans for direct talks between russia and the u. s. and that hasn't stopped officials in washington

from talking to others and suggesting new ways to put pressure on moscow. one major topic is the state of global food supplies with the u. s. calling on others to emphasize the subject of allowing grain exports from ukraine. g 20 countries should hold russia accountable and insist that it supports ongoing un efforts to reopen the ceilings for green delivery. however, russia has argue that it is not responsible for a blockade, and that ukraine is the one refusing to clear waterways for its own exports. president patent, also noted that based on estimates of how much green supplies ukraine actually has . it is just a fraction of global supply and is not the cause of a major shortage worldwide. when you people who were not blocking any exports of ukrainian grain, you know, the cranium, military authorities have planted mines at the entrances of their own ports. no one is hindering them from de mining. those areas were sunny ships with grain out of there. we guarantee security, this kind of moscow has been in constant contact with the relevant un organization

on the issue. looking to tell anyone who will listen in the west, that ukrainian grain is free to go. basically the ball is in their court, but it's western countries themselves who have a solid record of using food as a weapon for centuries. in fact, during the 1800s, the u. s. government openly killed millions of bison and their attempt to control native americans and the power and supplies they had in their country. during that time, the british government was also using starvation as a tactic specifically around ireland with methods so severe that it became known as the irish potato famine that resulted in the starvation of more than $1000000.00 people. britain also went on to support blockades against countries like nigeria and the 1960 s, where it's restriction of food was also paired with an unhealthy, apply of weapons that together fuel the death of countless people. the way that has now turned to the subject of brain in ukraine and to sort of

a rallying cry with the u. k, accusing russia using food as a weapon. and the west is still using the same methods to this day with modern blockades in the form of crushing sanctions against countries and include yemen or ron, syria and venezuela. the accusations of a government using food as a weapon or nothing new, but they are especially notable when they come from governments who know the impact all too well and have never been held accountable for the devastating consequences . another notorious page of western inflicted starvation history is the ban, golf famine of 1943. when some 3000000 indians died due to the failures of british colonial policies. millions of tons of rice were taken from people in order to feed you soldiers stationed in the middle east. then prime minister, winston churchill refused to accept any foreign assistance in fighting the disastrous famine in india. historian, capital commer says london will probably never apologize for the death in the i see

major fanny indifferent years. so it made the bearings under the british. sort of started from said 17 seventies 1943, the law. so i know it is times as if i come to the family of 1943, which was totally, if fairly greeted by, this just shows a great judge. well, that didn't 1000000 people, you know, died in this family enough, 943 and you know, just sick when judge is well informed that the medium died. this man says, what locum that me, that i do today. you say, why haven't he died? because i've started it just not only he, probably, if you go i see just group this on the on pretty you have the story and then you know,

all this happened was not bad made. this was done because of my body to me and getting. 1 all this which the dog because that there is no wrong dig into it. while western sanction had a wide range of entities working with russia, the collateral damage has also impacted countries that have traditionally relied on the russian market. but have had nothing to do with the war in ukraine was becca stand. a former soviet republic in central asia is now intensifying its ties with russia. despite the western pressure ortiz, mary financial reports was, pakistan has nothing to do with russia's special military operation in ukraine. it even sans humanitarian aids do ukrainian cities, but still it is punished for doing business with moscow. as the u. s. stay department, not only imposes sanctions on russia, but also in all those who trade with sanctioned russian companies. the designation

of from complex logistic private companies should serve as a warning to commercial stakeholders worldwide. if you do business with sanctioned entities or individuals, you risk exposure to sanctions. many multi $1000000.00 contracts got filed. russian companies currently under sanctions had pledged to finance numerous projects in his pakistan, especially in the mining and energy sectors. but these plans are now under threat asked and p global ratings. agency even lawyer is forecast for real g d p growth overs. becky, stanford 2022 to 3.5 percent from 5.5 percent. for the 1st time since 2014, russia has again reclaimed its top trading partner position with his pakistan. but kennedy retained this title in the face of western sanctions. with the challenges haven't scared a soft because russia's becca stands, main market business. people in both countries have been working together for many years and have built up mutual trust their patient because they know the trade

won't stop and everything will be fine. numerous as beg business men complain that their russia related transactions were blocked by american banks that they find a way to overcome the difficulties that will. yes, the 1st 2 months were difficult. we had a misunderstanding with russia because the currency prices skyrocketed. and those who were making payments and installments didn't really know what to do. but now those problems have been resolved. up to 90 percent of the current contracts are in russian roubles. despite the enormous pressure and unprecedented obstacles. fashioned is planning to strengthen. it's about gratian with russia within the ration economic. and so it seems that also america has failed so far plan to crush russia's economy and other miscalculation is going to be added to the list. moscow strategic and economic allies finally ready to continue cooperation with its sanctioned partner, but sometimes even deepen it. raven ocean r o t from tuscan in his back, his down. by that is it for me this hour?

i will be back and let's say 33 minutes with another full and 1st election history with us. what your potential ah ah ah

for the wes ukraine, proxy war against russia is turning out to be a historical watershed. russia 300 year relationship with the west is rapidly coming to an end. russia shipping, it's attention to the east and global south rushes gave the wes loss. in spring 2022, europe began closing boards to russian vessels, one after another. the sanctions package. bonds, russian flag vessels from entering you. port belgium, bulgaria, lithuania, romania. lee announced that they would be close to russian ships. russian vessels carrying. guess i'll call them and i run or i'm not covers visor bands. it's similar decision was taken by canada, and later by the united states. ah

ah ah, siberia is a very young nuclear powered ice breaker finishing touches completed. she leaves the baltic shipyard and set sail for her new home. a shell immediately gets to work in the arctic ocean, leading marine convoys through the ice. a promotion with dish promotional lead mcdermott, i'm looking for philip or local. sure who it is. part of a more consistent it'll do a project and she just bought it from whatever. but she was wrong, of course, going with it, but she was pulling up your order a lunch for family or about a shelf through up until the letter from chicago, virginia you much can with

jackson would have within the show. the keys. ah, we 1st met maxine, 9 years ago when he was forced, made on the time mere icebreaker. he's now the 1st mate aboard siberia, a ship which all the more. but it was what you say was room, which is this freakish for some activity me and this was just more but it was, it was thea, which the muslim dealer with us in a political them, a new nuclear ice breaker is an event. and each one is etched in maritime history. another russian ice breaker, 50 for 50 years, a victory was commissioned 30 years ago. now nuclear powered ice breakers leaked the shipyard, one by one only.
