that's what beijing says. washington has been waging against it in response to us and british claims. the china has been determined to steal their technology for competitive games. and african nations struggle with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating costs. as the, with the sanctions against russia have rod far reaching collateral damage with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our t international. i'm john thomas and certainly glad to have you with us. we start with a developing story in japan, former japanese prime minister sions, obey has been shot at a campaign event and is now in a hospital in serious condition that has been confirmed by the countries current prime minister, if video circulating online is said to have captured at the moment of the incidence the bobby was attacked while he was giving

a campaign speech in the southern japanese city of nora. people at the scene reportedly attempted to give him cpr before paramedics arrived. it was then airlifted into a local hospital the helicopter he has been described as currently in a serious condition. the alleged attacker identified as a 41 year old local man has been detained. reports say he did not resist being brought into custody. he is believed to have used a hand made firearm with 2 barrels resembling a sawed off shotgun. heard more details from the local journalist section and this was a completely unexpected and terrible events. today's the arbor flew from tokyo via saca and the rise in the city of norah, where his assassination attempts to place it is said that around 11 30 am he spoke for about 2 minutes and a half or 2 minutes. and suddenly 2 shots were heard being a high profile politician, she was accompanied by a security team,

but apparently no one expected this. and judging by the picture that we have, the shots were fired immediately to his left. as there was smoke emerging from there, it is reported that the shots were fired from a shot gun reason for this shows that it was some sort of thought of shot gun. a suspect was detained at the scene without attempting to flee. she was conscious of to be such a nation attempt and ask questions from paramedics and medical how they got to immediately again for him. an air lifted him to a large hospital in a neighboring city. according to the latest report, she is in a state of cardiac arrest. bobby was campaigning ahead of japanese parliamentary elections. this coming weekend, he was promoting candidates from japan's ruling liberal democratic party. there was the longest serving prime minister in japanese history until he resigned after a total of 9 years in 2020 citing health reasons. he has remained strongly influential within the party. a former australian diplomat now based in tokyo, told us his thoughts on why the incident might have taken place. he certainly has

very strong influence and therefore has strong friends and strong in him. and he has a very how should we say chicken mich stuff, history. he's been involved in some serious corruption scandals. but as far as i'm concerned is rain. the problem is north korea. he was response direct is probably realize that he was directly responsible for killing a 20 years ago, killing a an agreement which would have saying north korea sees me so testing and would have opened up a new created to economic gauge from japan. it would have completely changed to the politics of north north asia is a deep down as a very strong right wing person. and it could be affectionate,

fighting within his own party. as you know, the factions a very strong here in japan, his faction was dominating the liberal democratic party. russia still wants to negotiate a p feel for ukraine by the western efforts to bolster kiev 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. let me put 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, 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. now, to the latest developments on the front line as rushes military reports, it has taken out a deployment point for foreign mercenaries and ukraine's southern nikolai of region, as well as destroyed munition depots that have been used by cubes forces for their attacks on the, on the republic in the neighboring lu, ganske republic, russian lead forces have been advancing westward after claiming control of the last ukranian stronghold their senior correspondent, god, you have visited russian artillery positions near the city of louis chance he 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 it grad missiles, but the entire horizon is on fire. hope 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 auxilary, 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 what were once ukrainian artillery positions ah, russian self propelled how it is 152 millimeter houses, firing at ukrainian positions near the city of sienna resorts, for this house, for cause complicated calculations, mathematics,

solid intelligence and guidance from forces and drones. when williamson like newark, where you write a firing position with 2 s. 19 howitzers. am i command boys your classes? we might if we're working effectively with lugens forces. certainly gina the color sunday we will, there's a new battlefield experience here every day. what we're constantly improving our skills, the partners, i'm not either either part of the tub. they put up a voice, 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 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 civilians here

are used to the sundering violence, a carry on with their lives. this woman who bikes to milk cows every day. she told us how ukrainian troops here deserted their posts. they think it's true, they ran away. he cronyn soldiers told us that up commands as had fled 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 those whom state 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 him 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 tavern for them to feed russian artillery or a gaseous party. for the la guns, the people's republic western powers are preventing russia from exporting grain by blocking access to foreign ports. that is, according to russia's top diplomat, sergei lab rav speaking at a meeting of the g. twenty's foreign ministers on the indonesian island of bali. so

the so simple the woods this luscious little as for the use of ample supplies of russian grain, there are no barriers on our behalf. but the west has imposed restrictions on our ships for their calls to ports for making financial payments for sending food up. we have drawn attention to this. this includes situations at warehouses on the black sea where the west is not allowing mines to be cleared from ports and ships to go out to sea. russia, with the help of turkey is ready to insure security for this territory of stuff people with over the indonesia. the island of bali is hosting the meeting of the g . twenty's foreign ministers with a focus on global food and energy supplies. russia's top diplomat lab rav has already held it talked with his chinese and brazilian counterparts on the sidelines of the forum. meanwhile, brazil's president shire bull scenario, has spoken out about sanctions imposed by the u. s. and the u against russian saying that they have not worked let us now cross live to political and foreign policy experts. children come all duty in new delhi. i thank you very much for

being with us here in our to international. so while the current g 20 agenda is supposed to be dedicated to global food and energy supplies, the main topic appears to be the conflict in ukraine. are the official agenda is issues being ignored right now. well, your 3rd definitely ukraine would be daring badge and because most of the g 20 countries wants to have enough bread discussion in relation to your brain. but i just to gather with that's it. the more important and more vital to concentrate on the main topic in relation to food and security, and also in relation to social amenities and social, our best best thoughts. so i think the primary focus needs to be that, you know, and to get the best oddity shows them, but just trust them 5 lines. yes, it's quite obvious that ukraine would be

a part of the discussion and my understanding, i think lots of other major issues about whether it's in relation to a bad russia and ukraine was, or rather the test in relation to sanctions on food green test spots. you know, on brush and green, i think these are certain things which needs to be address that because it's quite obvious that, you know, like, i mean yes, there has been sanctions on russia on very nice shoes in relation to be your premium was but really gone to the question of brain pest thoughts, which is meant far, you know, benefit each and every individual across the globe. i've been better has to be on that viewpoint in relation to back as such. because after all, the full dreams reach out to being exported from russia or the food grain reach out to import it into russia. this are many common people last that you know, and i'm, and for no reason to be able to have nothing to do with the walk as far as you know . so i think that has to be

a humanitarian approach in relation to that i can in relation to supplies, information, to food, grain, sex, prospect globe. and in my understanding, i think that's something which needs to be best thought, you know, and it needs to be prospect crosby, blow and to be primary focus on be at the conference, is also in relation to no rattle fair in relation to social social gravity. in relation to stuff like that brought back. so i think back issue needs to be focused on and it needs to be discussed on yes. other issues can be discussed on sideline and definitely one of our other concerns are those also needs to be discuss best. but you know, it should not be the primary focus. primary focus on the confidence needs to be the primary focus and i think that you're ref, behold, deliberation should be now representatives of countries with diametrically opposing

positions on the ukraine conflict are holding talks in the same location for them. how do things going? are they going smoothly? well, i think so plot has been smooth as far better has been open dialogue and better has been you know, proper discussions in relation to betty many viewpoint and diverse diverse things. viewpoints that such as actually has strong functions in relation to your brain. the nato countries have strong position in relation to ukraine as spots and other countries have position in relation 3 frame lead from india. we have made up balls which are very clear from the long that needs to be solved for off the table. it needs to be fall time. everyone should come to talk because ultimately water is not safe solution for any kind of place in relation to any kind of issues that, you know. finally, the one has to come to dialogue. we have seen this during that time over the past.

what are also, as well as the 2nd world war, also, if you're all only through dialogue as such, and people that countries, so problem into dialogue. they had to probably 2 tables as much. so i would read to read, you know, i would read the politics and once again with an appeal to the russian people as well as to be your penny and people. and it's a bit of a politician plan. you're paying politicians, but please come dialogue and solve this issue and they believe what comes on far. if that is a proper dialogue, i'm sure, and maybe parts can be at. i can see can be thought that can be alive. i'm friends and new balls like india. i think we need to play a major role in relation to having yes, more failing in the g, 20 summit and also in relation to a positive dialogue between the con, on parties so that i am a physician can be arrived at such ran our prime minister recently had gone by b,

g, 20 some at that time also the honorable prime minister was ready, but he gets it brought back to mid through anytime the lead has to be at i said only through dialogue and we asked as a country me believe in universal peace and good of us are brotherhoods, and therefore we feel that, you know, lots of issues and no see, no matter how serious and complicated. but the issue is that if that is the dialogue without any kind of bias from any parties, that i think can be solved but amicably. right. political and foreign policy expert . so we'll come, i'll do it. and thanks for being with us here on our international are now there have been escalating tensions between china and the us, including in a harsh exchange of words, right before the 220 meeting technological terrorism. that's what china says, the u. s. a. nato have been waging against asian, it issued a scaling response to american and british officials, having

a choose 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 nation's, along with our allies in europe and elsewhere. she due to be in the loop. the us always places in domestic law above international law and observes international roof only as it sees fit. this is another example of the us abuse in its national power and will technological ahead many to engage in diplomacy. it is also classic technological terrorism. this is how you and 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 at the g 20 form on saturday,

but you could decide director of the geopolitical economy. research group says the west has been losing out on its previous advantages during the cold war since bench . 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 of the u. k. and, and the u. s actually not able to consistently keep up their commitments that have been made. dispatcher, of the french say, you know, sanctions against russia that so we know that this unity is crumbling of the face of the price that has to be paid the rest of losing technological advantage of losing traded bond. digital using investment and bondage is using it. it's

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 the piano 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 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 as transport disruptions and canada sanctions have impacted supplies of essential commodities. love. 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 and the standard 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. well, there is a lack of supply the so, you know, when we have learned the 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 the south africa as fuel prices have risen to record highs with many people in the country. struggling to make ends meet auto policy or explain the price of fuel has gone up again in south africa, climbing 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 blocked main roads in protest and planned more strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more fit up with the constant types 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 closed with the problem to all of us. when it takes almost one of those, the 100-1000 is that it is, they had flies we would de la our president have to because this be somebody who was in need. if you speak to dad did the right 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 got horrible. this is 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 that 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. the neighbors, along with other african countries, had subsequently been rocked by protests, destructive for, for, for african economies. 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 initiation, it negotiation that, that's actually a piece and negotiation that ultimately just a rush of interest respects russian interests. but also respects the interest of the cleanest one would love to see a situation where a peace agreement where things can go up to no mark. it's been painful for us. it's been damaging, as we already lead in a continent with millions are living in poverty for the high so expected next month . when the portfolio government says it in a temporary fuel subsidy program because it to no longer afforded the result is a cash strapped 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 leaves both the country and the region closer to crisis point point

c 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 through it is being promoted as unaffected by western sanctions. refers container trained a part of this week from the check off station near moscow. the so called north south quarter spend 8000 kilometers through iran and the central asian republics of context on and took medicine. 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 has said the caspian 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. and we heard from seagly, a 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 in

a shorter route means a less time. it means a cheaper transportation. i think a caspian draught would also enable goods to be transported, boucher to and from are the oral gender siberia to india in a 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 already rich and raw materials. ready and other resources, richer, india needs, as it's economies won't grow in the coming years. and that does it for me. this our stay with us now throughout the day as we bring in more news and commentary. this is our to international ah, 3 little occasional growth schools.

with edison, both both models. you need to do both got nothing new with a or as common perform. nobody, a lot of them bought human own for them by federal credit union, viola calia demolish belief that they're leaving any that because tanya is normally mentors talking with the 1st one that we're

i wish to discuss with you ah, the west ukraine proxy war against russia is turning out to be in 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 los ah ah

ah ah ah

for let's say that we stood up almost a year with we get started again. that's the one with the clinical with only to show you your shame. actual study, can you look at them, don't they still so does that, do you need that one? yeah, that's good to me. yeah, yeah, there's a start to her mad again.
