ah, a everyone should know that we by and large, haven't actually started anything serious yet. let me put in warns against the hindering moscow peace talks with g f. as a russian troops continue their advance in the dumbass, our correspondent reports from the front line. here at once ukrainian artillery positions are russian self propelled pallets of firing at ukrainian positions in technological terrorism. that is what beijing says. washington has been waging against it in response to us and british claims that china has been determined to steal their technology for competitive game. with african nation

struggle with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating costs. as the west sanctions against russia have brought far reaching collateral damage. with broadcasting log direct, more studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now russia still wants to negotiate a peace deal for ukraine, but western efforts to bolster kids and it's 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, put your new solution 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 are by and large,

haven't actually started anything serious yet. at the same time, we do not refuse piece talks. but those who do refuse and should know that the further they go, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us. and then they go down to the latest developments on the war in ukraine as rushes, military reports that it has taken out a deployment point for foreign mercenaries and ukraine's southern nikolai of region, as well as destroyed munition depots that had been used by cios. forces for their attacks on the don units republic in the neighboring lucon school republic, russian led forces have been advancing westward after claiming control of the last ukrainian stronghold there. a senior correspondent visited russian artillery positions near the city of lucy johnson. you sent us this report 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 a grad missiles, but the entire horizon is on fire her with ed or the big fire plumes of smoke behind the power lines. also across the horizon right there in the distance impacts that is russian artillery, striking at ukrainian positions in the vicinity of the city of savvy ask russian artillery. the snow secret has been a decisive factor on the battlefield. and here in the fields of the country side of the dumbass, it has been high boxes here at once ukrainian artillery positions ah, russian self propelled how it says 152 millimeter houses firing at ukrainian positions near the city of sheriff's

resort. for the town requires complicated calculations. laugh mattie's solid intelligence and guidance from forces and drones. when williamson like new york, where you write a firing position with 2 s 19 houses at my command, boise nozzles. my dear, were working effectively with logan's forces, says the king of the col assignment, we will, there's a new battlefield experience here every day. what we're constantly improving our skills. the partners are not either either part of the time they put up of what, especially in the brief window after they receive additional native weapons shipments. and before they are destroyed. it is called several canyon shell. now impacted in that field where there were 510 minutes it's, it's unclear what they shooting out. there's absolutely nothing there it's, it's empty but probably to get it probably best to,

to get away civilians. here are you still sundering violence? a carry on with their lives. this woman bikes to milk her cows every day she told us how you create new troops here, deserted their posts. they say he can, it's true. they ran away. he korean soldiers told us that up commands as had fled even before they did, we hold them, 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 little 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 little girl we talked to. and ukrainian soldiers, who without any training, were thrown into the front lines, hummed with weapons that they had no idea how to use believe that they are being used as catherine wagner, to feed russian artillery or at gazette archie from the lugens, the people's republic. meanwhile, mourners in the city of danielle camp held a funeral for a 10 year old girl who was killed a few days ago in ukrainian military shelling of her neighbor. but then you still

have, i can't convey what i'm feeling with words or with tears. i have just one question . 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. why is this? why don't we bearing our kids, you thought junior, come when you, i wouldn't wish this even on an enemy. 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 that the girl was sitting in front of her home when a shell fired by ukrainian forces landed in the middle of the street, and the mention exploded in charge of metal sprayed out ripping her little body apart, and she was forces have been intensifying their artillery attacks on danielle killing

more than 230 people there, including 16 children in recent months, according to local officials. the news it just in reports are emerging that former japanese prime minister, sions, or ave, was attacked during a campaign speech in the japanese city of nora. he is believed to have been shot in the chest and taken to the hospital. his condition has not yet been disclosed. witnesses claim that gunshots were heard near by. when the politician collapse, the alleged attacker is reportedly in custody at this moment. of course, our news team is following this information, and we will be bringing you updates as we get it into the newsroom. meeting of the g twenty's foreign ministers have commenced on the indonesian island of bali with a focus on global food and energy supplies. russian foreign minister circ a laboratory, has held a meeting with his chinese counterpart on the sidelines, emphasis on anything, the strengthening ties between their countries. there have also been escalating tensions between china and the us, including in a harsh exchange of words,

right before the g 20 meeting technological terrorism. that is what china says the us and nato have been waging against beijing. it issued a scathing response to american and british officials, having accused beijing of trying to steal western technology for a competitive game. we consistently see that it's the chinese government that poses the biggest long term threat to our economic and national secured. and by our, i mean both of our nations, along with our allies in europe and elsewhere, to do here in the u. s. always places his domestic law above international law and observes international rules only as it sees fit. this is another example of the us abuse in its national power and wielding technological heads in money to engage in coercive diplomacy or lee. it is also classic technological terrorism. italian washington has reportedly been pressuring western suppliers to stop selling

computer chip making equipment to china to prevent beijing from becoming a world leader in the sector. now the u. s. top diplomat is expected to meet with his chinese counterpart now the g. 20 for him on saturday, but he could decide director of the geopolitical economy. research group says the west has been losing out on its previous events just during the cold war since then . basically, both russia and china have been set up as essentially the enemies against which the rest must mobilize. and that's what they're doing. and you have to understand that they're doing this at the time when they're what they want to do, which is to rally a powerful coalition against russia, against china. this is not working, even the close, even the closest allies off the u. k. and the u. s. actually not able to consistently keep up their commitments that have been made the structure of defense, say, you know, sanctions against russia spectrum. we know that this unity is crumbling, of the face of the price that has to be paid,

and the rest of losing technological bondage is losing traded bond. digital using investment and bondage is losing its all alliance and its own allies. so on every front it is losing and it's trying to muster what little it can. i'm not sure how successful this is going to be, but it is extremely hypocritical. and these are well worn scenes. they have been doing this for a long time. huge lines at gas stations, and if you're as the east african countries 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 the government fuel subsidies, previously, if the 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 has 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. lot of 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 is a lack of supply the source. 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. elsewhere on the continent, there are calls 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 our

pilots clear. explains the price of fuel has gone up again in south africa climate, maybe 50 percent in the last year alone. just this week it broke a new record so many people choosing to work from home while truck drivers blocked main roads in protest and planned more strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more freed 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, that always close. everything is going on with the problem to all of us. when into a, takes almost $11000.00. so 1000. so is that a very they had for us? we would be our president have to because this be somebody who would mean if you speak to dad did the right people. maybe they can mix and 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 robbed 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 if she can go, she issue that, that achieves peace and negotiation that actually just rush us interest respects, russia, interests. but also respects the interest of you clean as well would love to seem as to wasting a piece of bereavement, where things can go back to normal. it's been painful for us. it's been damaging. as we already live in a continent with millions are living in poverty for the high are expected next month when the portfolio government says it will end 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 st. the lack of a solution now leaves both the country and the region closer to quite a point policy, a r t no space. russia has sent its 1st cargo shipment by train to india via a new transport route being developed along the caspian. the route is being promoted as unaffected by western sanctions of a 1st container train departed this week from the check of station near moscow. the so called north south quarter expands 8000 kilometers through iran and the central asian republics of cars extended to minnesota. and now the transit time is about $35.00 days. there was another initial test run from st. petersburg to india last month as well. russian president vladimir putin had said the captain region should become a major logistics hub. russian ambassador to india said this week that bilateral trade is expected to increase 40 percent this year. we heard from roger c,

create former secretary for eastern affairs at india's foreign ministry who spoke highly of the benefits of the new route. 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 the goods to be transported to both 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 while watching sanctions 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, the former soviet republic in central asia is now intensifying its ties with russia . despite the western pressure. my financial reports. oh spec. hassan has nothing to do with russia's special military operation in ukraine. it even sends 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 grown complex logistic private companies should serve as a warning to commercial stakeholders worldwide. if you do business with sanctions, 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 back histone, 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. i was 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 kenneth retain this title in the face of western sanctions. was the challenges, haven't scared us off because russia's, it was, becky 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, his bag business men complain that they are russia related transactions were blocked by american banks, but 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. this by the enormous pressure and unprecedented obstacles fashion and is planning to strengthen its migration with russia within the ration economic . and so it seems that alpha america is failed so far, plan to crash, rushes economy, and other miscalculation is going to be added to the list. most goes strategic and economic allies. finally, ready to continue cooperation with its sanctioned partner, but sometimes even deepen it. raven ocean on doughty from tuscan in his back, his down serbia has found itself struggling between its traditional ties with russia and its ambitions to join you, as the block says, belgrade must comply with the western sanctions against moscow. ritual margin has more the message that the you is sending, serbia, is that house to pick aside your either with the you and western block or your with russia. serbia is not interested in burning any bridges or eliminates options.

obviously, as its interior minister has pointed out, we are very clear, we will not engage in a conflict with russia. we will not engage in other people's wars. we will not be some one else's foot soldiers. do we want to be part of the west's conflict with russia? are we willing to forget the many decades of support from russia? do we want to forget all the centuries of slavic brotherhood? if you want to stick to territorial and integrity and sovereignty as the most important principle of international politics than start with serbia. and really, why shouldn't serbia enjoy sovereignty and independence? one of the biggest complaints raised by citizens at e. remember, countries is the submission to brussels, to the detriment, and erosion of national sovereignty. brothels is acting like a jealous boyfriend would towards serbia, just because it's friendly with russia,

and brussels won't even put a ring on it. geopolitically speaking, of course, serbia's application for you. membership has been pending since 2009. and they're hoping to get the prenuptial agreement wrapped up by 2024 and maybe seal the deal and join the union by 2025. even though and if so, suppose earlier this year found that 44 percent of serbs are against the move with only 35 percent in favor. but in the meantime, where this brussels get off putting this kind of pressure on any country to which it hasn't yet officially committed. so what kind of pressure are we talking about? exactly. the serbian president has said that his country has already been hit with heavy fines for importing russian fuel, even though it's dependent on energy imports. he is pointed out that anti russian sanctions will cost his country 600000000 dollars this year along,

which is why he's explicitly against sanctions resources. so to us we serve to remember sanctions and don't think that sanctions are the best thing. we have had a special relationship with russia for centuries, but we didn't mind being fair in condemning the overthrow of the international legal order and the invasion of ukraine. because we acted in principle because we have values which are not. if any other country is playing footsie with the you are otherwise committed to the block, are interested in forging their own foreign policy. well, european commission, president ursula vander lane, says that there's no time to entertain that kind of independent thinking. on the foreign affairs, i'm deeply convinced that it is not sustainable that the european union is not able to take a position because of one blocking and critical files and the speed at which things happen. the world wants to hear the european voice. the speed is too high to constantly or too often not be heard and seen because of the blocking of one.

therefore, i'm really convinced we need qualified majority voting. whether serbia gets cold feet before making it down the aisle with brussels or ends up in a toxic marriage with the block remains to be seen. or let's get an update on the developing story that we brought you earlier in the news. cast reports are emerging that former japanese prime minister sions, obey is in the hospital, unconscious and unresponsive. that's after he was reportedly attacked during a campaign speech in the southern japanese city of nora, he is believed to have been shot in the chest. witnesses claim that gunshots were heard near by when the politician collapsed and alleged attacker is reportedly now in custody. of course, our newsroom is following the story, and we will bring you updates as we get it in to our resume. or either does it for me, this our, our back and let's say 35 minutes and 15 seconds with another full and fresh lecture news. this is our international

ah, ah, ah, the west ukraine proxy war against russia is turning out to be a historical watershed, thrushes, 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
