ah. we're bringing you the latest news from across the globe. this is our t international. thank you for joining us. it's 7 pm here in moscow. and i'm charlotte, even ski. now that news today that japan's former prime minister sions obey, has died in hospital after being shot at an election campaign event. a man alleged to have carried out the shooting was detained on the sport. i now be attacked to place in the japanese city of nora. people at the scene attempted to revive our bay before the paramedics arrived, the former premier was then i left it to hospital. what was said to have no vital signs on arrival. doctors though, tried for several hours to save his life, but said that he bled to death from 3 deep wounds, including 2 on his neck. now,

the alleged attacker has been identified as a 41 year old and named is ted to ya. yummy, gummy didn't touristy. arrestin is now in police custody report say that he's a former member of japan's navy. he's believe to have made a homemade double barreled firearm resembling a saw an off shot gun. the 41 year old is reported to have told police the t was frustrated with the former premier minister, who he believed to be part of a specific organization. but said that he had no intention of killing him. but according to a japanese broadcast, a police have found what's believed to be explosive devices in the apartment of the alleged shooter. local residents were reportedly asked to move a safe distance from the scene. we've been hearing more details about the attack from a local reporter in japan, and argue flores, god core,

district level book to shop. there are no words except confusion and refusal to recognize violence against the politician. the latest footage from the murder scene shows that people are already bringing flowers there. there are elections to the upper house of parliament and japan on sunday. and there's always active campaigning on the day before. but apparently, the liberal democratic party will cease all his activities on this day due to the killing options arriving. however, public sympathies will likely be on the side of his political party. nations obeys 9 years, as prime minister made him the longest serving premiere in japan's history until of course, he resign citing health issues back in 2020. now, despite that, he remained an influential member of the ruling liberal democratic party, and it was for that party that he was promoting candidates ahead of parliamentary elections. this coming weekend, thorsten pat burke is a research fellow at the university of tokyo says the killing of our bay has deeply

shocked japanese society. well, let me tell you, it was a complete shock. it was sir, it was the most tragic thing in yes. and that everything's good still. how could the assassin come so close? well, the reason for this is that japan is actually very civilized place. guns are very rare. you know, it's very hard to import guns into this country. and so he found pretty sure, pretty safe. that was a very drastic now. so to get better, and indeed, ah, to the g 20. now, where apparently western powers are preventing russia from exporting grain by blocking access to foreign ports. that's according to russia's foreign minister who's been speaking at that meeting in indonesia with the g twenty's top diplomats said a lot of also wounded western states want to take the shipment of grain and their

full control. so so, so for the ward, this last for the use of good supplies of russian grain, there are no barriers on our side or was that the west has imposed restrictions on our ships or stock in the access to ports, restricting financial payments for the transit and food supplies, such we have drawn attention to this. this includes situations in the black sea. if the west wants to get the grain out there so badly, it needs to make. he empty mind the black sea ports and that ships leave for the territorial waters of ukraine's with us all and russia for the health. turkey is ready to ensure the security of such convoys in the open sea. of the problem is that our western colleagues want to create an international monitoring mechanism for this process. clearly striving to set up this mechanism with the participation of nato's navy london has talked about this recently and we clearly understand exactly what they want. sure, mammals. now the indonesian island of bali is hosting that me saying of the g 20 foreign ministers, which has a focus on global food. and also on energy supply said gala, for offers already held talks with his chinese and his brazilian counterparts on

the side lines of the forum. meanwhile, brazil's president has criticized the sanctions imposed by the u. s. and the e. u against russia. political and foreign policy experts sort of comalla do tell believes that the looming food crisis has to be addressed at the g 20 meeting. he says it's a pressing issue with millions of people expected to be affected by food insecurity . sanctions on getting that thoughts, you know, on russia for games. i think these are some things pretty needs to be addressed because right off of that, yes, there has been sanctions on russia on betting. and the issue's been relation to be your premium was but really gone to the question of grain which is meant our benefits each and every individual across the globe. i think that has to be on paper that bill foreign can relation to bat ross after all the food drain reach out

to being exported from russia or the food brains which are getting import it into. gotcha. be some men are common people last thought. you know, and i meant for no reason to be drills who have nothing to do with the walk. meanwhile, the summit has been mine by some ra diplomatic behavior. some of the g 7 foreign ministers have tried very hard to avoid bumping into so kayla at the event. now apparently, west and officials refused to have dinner. even take the group photo, which is something you regular expect with rushes, foreign minister in a boy called that was reportedly spearheaded by the us secretary of state antony blinking. now for his paul at lap office, said that the west puts its own ideological priorities above peace efforts for ukraine will sit in the pool and taken the liberty of reminding on western colleagues about what they have been saying all these previous months and asking them to decide what they actually want. if it's piece talk,

then it should crime which is stop them if they want your crimes victory of a rush on the battlefield instead, i guess there is nothing to talk about with the west. because such an approach means they are not allowing ukraine to move towards peace and west and geometry demonstrate that the main thing here is the ideology, instead of a concern, ukrainian citizens, the country itself, or even european security as a whole. now all of this comes as u. s. senate is a meeting with president zalinski of ukraine in kiev, highlighting the importance of washington support for the country. but it appears now not every battle should be sold with weapons, with one sen calling for hand to hand fighting. long range, artillery is very, very important. but so is the hand to hand insurgency that we are hoping to see in eastern ukraine in the territory. that's already been occupied by the russians and the director of the trends national foundation for p san feature research thing

tank believes that some behavior of some of the politicians at the g 20 belies their status is diplomats describing it as childish. this is not, this is not a way for us to a power politician to be, hey, it's a childish, it's been a lie, sation of politics that you don't even want to be in the same page or shake hands or share a dinner people sitting at the same table, this is not a mature, this is not at least novel. there's nothing to do to promise you. the only thing you do is you can confrontation, you hotline, you do stand pointing, you do things from which you cannot back down again. and that's why we're living in a very dangerous situation. well, the west continues to restrict russian ships from its european ports, moscow's not turning to alternative trade routes. russia has sent its very 1st

cargo train to india via transport cargo along the caspian sea basin. now the route call, the international north, south transport corridor is being promoted as a sanctions proof option. the 1st train departed this week from check of a station near moscow is going to travel on a 30 day 35 day route that spans around 8000 kilometers through iran. it see ports and then further on, it comes off the air successful test run from st. petersburg to india. i was attempted last month. russian president vladimir putin has said that he wants the caspian region to become a major logistics hub. now the russian ambassador to india said this week, the bilateral trade between the countries is expected to increase to 40 percent. they sail 40 percent more this year. we've heard from ravage secret, former secretary for eastern affairs,

that india is foreign ministry. we spoke highly of the benefits of that new route. it's also a shorter route in a shorter route means or less time. it means a cheaper transportation. i think her a caspian group would also enable good struby, transferred her boucher to and from are the oral gender shy barrier 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. ready and other resources, richer india needs as it's economy is, won't grow in the coming years. now, india has been launching multiple raids against chinese enterprises over alleged money laundering cases. while china says the probes disrupt business activities

between the 2 countries and undermine investor confidence, artes correspondent runjun sharma has the story. i miss roy economic ties between beijing and your day in dallas launch multiple reeds against chinese companies, abusing them all financial irregularities. the enforcement directly recently conducted searches in over 40 locations in the county, in connection to a money laundering case against chinese smartphone manufacturer leave all the agency investigating economic offenses suspect sharing companies like yours to london, money to china in order to avoid the taxes in india, china as son is 1st person of the chinese embassy in you that he said in the us, frequent investigations, damages, goodwill. we have come across many shell companies being operated in india by the chinese company. all these are being used to launder money,

revolt the company on the investigation by and get authorities itself is ready to cooperate. tivo is cooperating with the authorities to provide them with all required information as a responsible corporate. we're committed to be fully compliant with laws. this is not the 1st time that a chinese oems company has come under the standard of indian agencies. shami has been there to then funded actually have sees half a 1000000 rupees of the company under the provisions all the foreign exchange management at such huge amounts in the name of royalties were remitted on the instructions of their chinese parent group entities. the amounts remitted to other to us based on related entities were also for the ultimate benefit of the shall me group entities off the dangers of the border between india and china escalated in 2020 scrutiny against chinese firm has been tightened by india parties more than $200.00 mobile applications,

including dick talk also have been bad since well, huge lines have been for me, a gas stations in ethiopia with the east african countries struggling with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating costs. some drivers saying that they had to wait for as long as 8 hours to get the pump for diesel. now source ease have increased the price of diesel by 38 percent as they cut government feel subsidies. previously, ethiopian consumers only had to pay a quarter of the regular global rates for the feel that was as a result of that state aid. the costs have been skyrocketing around the world is transport disruptions and punitive sanctions have impacted supplies of essential commodities. but as i looked for years, 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 love you are go, 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 all 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 at the source. you know, where we have learned that russia and ukraine contributed lot to the world. obviously, that is why the cost of living and fuel prices have increased heavily due to the conflict between these $2.00 countries. in an unprecedented way. the world were greatly benefit if there is peace between these 2 countries. and there are not just problems in ethiopia. elsewhere on the continent, there are calls a nation wide protest since south africa that comes as the fuel prices have risen there to record highs. as ortiz pool, a slayer explains the new height comes with many in the country. struggling just to make ends meet. the point of fuel has gone up again in south africa climate,

maybe 50 percent in the last year alone. just this week it broke new record so many people choosing to work from home, while truck drivers blocked the 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, don't always close. everything is close. we not on the web. the problem to all of us can do. just went into almost one that was the $171000.00 that they had for us. we would be our president have to because this the somebody who was in need to speak to dad to did that. i'd people, maybe they can make samples. 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 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, have subsequently been rocked by protest in africa have been ignored. the crisis in

the fall region, for example, is risk of starvation and famine. as i've said in many parts of the continent. in fact, a report was released earlier this year. that said that can of the most significant crisis in the world actually occurring in the africa and they ignored. and this is something that is very, very harmful to africa because the global community has taken his eyes off spaces where autocrat and honda is really wrecking have all on the continent for the high . so i'll expect that next month when the toya government says it will end a temporary fuel subsidy program because it can no longer afford it. the result is cash strapped consumers being pushed to crisis point, many of whom we 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 leave both the country and the region closer to crisis point policy,

a r t no space. the western known fluids against russia has failed, but moscow still needs to remain vigilant in the face of new sanctions. now it's according to russian president vladimir putin, who's been mulling over russia's economic strategy during a meeting with top officials. the way the so called economic blitzkrieg by our ill wishers against russia has, of course failed. however, some damage is still being done to our economy by the sanctions and restrictions and some risks do remain for president painting as spoke with a gas pom heads early on friday of the 1st time after he said, but he admitted that there has been an impact on the russian economy from these unprecedented sanctions. and that all still risks still ahead. so what russia is going to have to do is just roll with the punches, so to speak. and that's what he's doing is focusing on increasing its output to

different energy market. because the e u has implemented another round of sanctions against russia, including an oil embargo. russian companies should already be prepared for this move. our key priority is include the build up of gas development infrastructure in russian regions, as well as the diversification of exports to promising southern and eastern markets . speaking, following that meeting with the gas prom heads, president putin didn't just focus on russia. he also focused on the global impacts that these massive loads of sanctions on russia having, he talked about how your pays now facing and massive energy crisis and that people might not even be able to heat their homes efficiently. this coming wind said there's also of course, the massive impacts that this will have on companies throughout europe. without those energy supplies, they might even be forced to fold. and then of course, we have mass unemployment. we have more people on the bread line,

and then we have the, the huge impacts to those economies as well. and so while european bracing for hard times, president putin said, and his speech today that he wants to protect the russian people from feeling the severe impacts of these uneasy times. and so as we'll talk to these latest rounds of sanctions, which includes that oil em fargo, and he wants russian companies to be braced and ready to all with it as best they can, some pretty dying. he's now on the red cross, which has raised the alarm over the plight of millions of civilians in yemen, which has been ravaged by 8 years of civil war with their suffering being exacerbated by recurring hostilities. some of the local women there say they have no access to health care. hello cindy berkener, on many occasions during the peak of the violence, i had the choice of either staying home and dying from my illness at all. risking getting caught in the crossfire while trying to reach the nearest dialysis center.

i was assigned to a kansas center in mccalla hundreds of kilometers away. i couldn't afford transportation between treatment sessions and i couldn't bear the long road to get that. now i'm just sitting in my tent waiting for death to release me from my agony . yeah. but more women in labor are reaching the health facility too late, and that's caused by road blocks and the unavailability of transportation due to violent clashes. now according to that new report find the red cross nearly 66 percent of the engines. people currently like access to basic healthcare that includes 6000000 women who desperately need medical assistance. navy, $5000000.00 is said to be suffering from severe hunger and includes pregnant and breast feeding women to now one mother and 6 newborns reportedly die every 2 hours in yemen. now the conflict has taken a devastating toe long civilians across the country with people suffering from the

constant shelling and the air strikes. a saudi lead military coalition has been waging a relentless assault on the rebels in yemen. some human rights groups have drawn attention to the fact that the saudi lead forces have actually been using weapons and ammunition supplied by western countries. that includes from the u. s. and the u. k. one of the red crosses reports authors is busha obama. he gave us a 1st hand account of the humanitarian disaster that's unfolding in yemen. a look. yeah, i was there was i kid this millennia, the lady with began said like i, i met her, i met heading person last week. i was in mad up. so she told us in all my last wish before i die that i need an ac because i, i want like a want to die in peace. this is where she said in megan, i mean it's, it's unbelievable. and then it was, it was very difficult because the ladies,

you know, is almost dying unheard. i 7 years old, you know, girl, she's taking head out. she says she's locked and got to head. and even de la, the little girl, you know, where it was like, you know, was forced to leave her to up and, and had, is called a school because she needed like to take care of it. of her mom. it's, it's, it's so it's so it's so it's so it's so horrible. you cannot imagine it. no, we were trying our best, you know, to, to draw the attention of the, of the, of the international community and the world to the plight of, of, of gemini people. i know, and we're saying that to the world should not, you know, turn a blind eye on what is going on. yeah, man, i, there are millions of people in yemen. honey, do you know any to support from the international community and international organization on the wall should not only focus on on a specific context, but they also showed, you know, focus more on the humidity and situation and that many people should not be, should not be left alone, a face and you know their fate. ah,

let's get now the latest from the frontline in ukraine where local authorities in the russia control southern city of no via caca cosca say an attack on a hydro electric plant like he had forces has been thwarted by russian missile defenses which prevented the plant from being hit and it's continuing to operate now in the neighboring la gans republic, russian that forces have been advancing westward off to claim and control of the last ukranian stronghold that a senior correspondent nor at gast, i have visited to russian at hilary positions near the city of lacy 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 the action by the sound

of it grad missiles, but the entire horizon is on fire. hope with ed or the, the big fire plumes of smoke behind the power lines. also across the horizon right there in the distance impacts that is russian auxiliary striking that ukrainian positions in the vicinity of the city of savvy ask russian artillery . it is no secret, has been a decisive factor on the battlefield. and here in the fields and the country side of the don bass, it has been hyper active here and what were once ukrainian artillery positions ah, russian self propelled how it says 152 millimeter houses firing at ukrainian positions near the city of citrus

every shot for it to count requires complicated calculations, mathematics, solid intelligence and guidance from spotters and drones. when williamson like newark, where you write a firing position with 2 s. 19 howitzers. am i command boise masses? my dear, we're working effectively with the guns forces. certainly in the color sun we will, there's a new battlefield experience here. every day. we're constantly improving our skills, but the ukrainians aren't idle either. time to time. they put up a flight, especially in the brief window after they receive additional nato weapons shipments . and before they are destroyed, a close called several opinion 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 it probably best to, to get away civilians

here are used to the thundering violence. they carry on with their lives, like this woman who bikes to milka cows every day. she told us how ukrainian troops here deserted their posts. they thinking of institute, they ran away. hutchison felt that cronyn soldiers told us that up commands has had flat even before they did. we hold them, they were only surgeons left behind. that is another position abandoned by ukrainian troops and nationalists who fled this area just to the west of the city of least a chance, a 50 caliber browning, machine gun supplied by nathan 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 inaji or a gina g. 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 to many ukrainian soldiers who without any training were thrown on the front lines armed with weapons, they have no idea how to use believe that they are being used as cannon fodder to feed russian artillery. more i'd gas div r t from the la guns, the people's republic now planned to attack crimea. curt straight bridge has been thwarted, according to a. a german newspaper stone claims that authorities learned the plan after

arresting german soldiers for stealing military equipments. citing materials from the investigation stern says 2 of those arrested have been discussing plans on the attack to the bridge, which connects crimea and mainland russia. german authorities, i yet to still comment on the allegation. well, that's all for my face, our hair. nazi. we do hope that you can join us again in 30 minutes. in the meantime. don't forget to head over to archie, don't com for more on all of today's new stories. ah, ah, ah, ah.
