a, a with us fascinating on the campaign trail. japan's form of prime minister a comes to his wounds after being shot by a lone gunman, who says he had planned the attack, brushes foreign minister, his western powers to make up their minds about what they really want for ukraine, the peace talks or fights until the end the story lose this western duality demonstrated that the main thing here is the ideology, sort of a concern for ukranian citizens, the country itself, or even european security as a whole. class african nations struggle with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating courses with western sanctions against russia. wrecking far

reaching collateral damage with audio global news stories. this is dorothy international coming to live from us 2 years here in moscow. thanks for joining us. the local time here is 8 pm and i'm charlotte cheapskate. now japan's former prime minister sions though all by a has died in the hospital after being shocked at an election campaign event. a man detained doctor, the shootings said he had intended to kill the former prime minister. the place in the japanese city of nora people at the scene, attempted to revive of a before the paramedics arrived. the former premier was then and left it to hospital. but was said to have no vital signs on arrival. talked as 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 attack has been identified as 41 year old tete through. yeah, yeah, i'm a gummy, didn't resist arrest and is now in police custody report say that he's a former member of japan's navy. he's believe to have used a homemade double barreled firearm resembling a sort of shot gun. the 41 year old is reported to have told the police that he was frustrated with the former prime minister, who he believed to be part of a specific organization. and that he had the intention to kill him. now, according to japanese brewed cars, the police have found what's believe to be explosive devices in the apartment of viola shooter. local residents were poor to be asked to move to

a safe distance from the scene that we've been hearing more details about that attack from a local reporter in japan. are you flaw cub court system there? so there are no words except confusion and refusal to recognize violence against the politician and the latest footage from the murder scene shows that people are already bringing flowers there. there are elections to the upper house of parliament in japan on sundays, 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 of lobby. however, public sympathies will likely be on the side of his political party. now, sure, so our base 9 years as prime minister made him the longest serving premier in japan's history until he resign citing health issues back in 2020. now, despite that, he's remained an influential part of the ruling liberal democratic party for which he was actually promoting that candidates ahead of parliamentary elections. this

coming weekend, former british diplomat, william melanson says japanese society is facing a deepening polarization. ave was not sufficiently nationalistic. there are 2 kinds, at least 2 kinds of japanese nationalists, the kind that want the americans in there to we wouldn't like it are prepared to accept american nuclear weapons. they're to flex their own muscles against their traditional enemies, russia and china on the one hand. but on the other hand, you have to remember you have the more extreme, somewhat i tradition where you must get all foreigners out and make it powerful. japan wants to be worrying people. now, in this highly complex situation in the whole world, is, is japanese society, political society, going to become polarized into the more left wing, amazon,

nuclear, anti american, anti nato lobby on the one hand. and on the other hand, those of the more motor to tradition, like, for example, you have at the moment, japan, if you like, as the west of the east, you have societal tensions building up the defense spending has gone up. the possibility is that they will be hosting nuclear weapons. so these are enormous questions and i think to speculate now and say the japanese society is going to become more naturalistic. it's dangerous, but it could happen. the western powers are preventing russia from exporting. quain, by blocking access to foreign port that's according to russia's foreign minister who's been speaking at a meeting of the g. twenty's top diplomats said a laugh rove also warned that western states want to take the shipment of grain

under their full control. so the se super though was this not for the use of good supplies of russian grain, there are no barriers on our side. but the west is imposed restrictions on our ships. looking to access the ports, restricting financial payments for the transit of food supplies. 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 the mind the black sea ports and that the ship's leaflets, advertorial water, ukraine. that's all. and russia with the help of turkey is ready to ensure the security of such convoy, nope, and see. 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 luminous, talked about this recently. and we clearly understand just exactly what they want. that's kayla rob held talks with his chinese and brazilian counterparts on the sidelines of the forum. meanwhile, brazil,

the president has been criticizing the sanctions imposed by the u. s. and the u against russia. political and foreign policy experts pseudo come i'll do to believe that the looming food crisis just has to be addressed at my g 20 meeting. he says it's a pricing issue with millions of people expected to be affected by food insecurity . sanctions on getting that thoughts, you know, on russia. and i think these are some things we need to be address because the quite obvious that yes, there has been sanctions on russia, on bedding. and the issue's been relation to be your premium was but when it comes to the question of rain, which is meant our benefits each and every individual across the globe. i think that has to be configured a viewpoint in relation to bathroom. after all, the rain reach out of being exported from russia or the food games which are

getting import it into. gotcha. be some men are common people last thought, you know, and i meant already know, reading the rituals who have nothing to do with the walk. now meanwhile, the stomach has been mine by some relevant and diplomatic behavior. some of the g 7 foreign ministers have tried pretty hard to avoid bumping into sort of a laugh at that event in bali. western officials have refused to have didn't even take the traditional group photo with rushes foreign minister in a boy court that was reportedly spearheaded by b, u. s. secretary of state antony blinking now for his paul lab for office, said that the west wants to put its own ideological priorities above any piece efforts for ukraine will sit in the pool and taking 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 crime victory of

a rush on the battlefield instead, then i guess there is nothing to talk about with the west. because such an approach means they are not allowing ukraine to move toward peace. and this west and geometry demonstrates that the main thing here is the ideology, instead of a concern for ukrainian citizens, the country itself, or even european security as a whole. much that comes as u. s. senators have been meeting with president, so lensky in kiev, highlighting the importance of washington support for ukraine. but it appears that north every bottle should be solved with weapons, with one sen calling for hand to hand contact and 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. now, the director of the trends national foundation for peace and future research. think tank believes that some behavior of the politicians at the g 20 belies their status

as diplomats suggesting was childish. this is not a way for us to how a politician. i think it's childish it's, it's a banner i sation of politics that you don't even want to be in the same picture or shake hands or share and 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 your professional is and if you listen to the indonesian precedence, welcome speech. when he talks about peace, he talks about sustainability. he talks about mutual respect, tom runs a, well, it's cetera. and they are simply doing the opposite and miss using a meeting, which was not supposed to be about you crying or the conflict you're humanities problem. now india has launched multiple raids against chinese

enterprises over alleged money laundering cases. china says the probes are disrupting business activities between the 2 countries and will undermine invest a confidence. ortiz correspondent, runjun sharma has more on this story. miss roy economic ties between beijing and new delhi indians, last, multiple raids against chinese companies, accusing them all financial irregularities. the enforcement directly recently conducted searches and over 40 locations in the country in connection to a money laundering case against chinese smartphone manufacturer. the, 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 concern is force, 1st of the chinese embassy in new delhi 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. read all the company on the investigation by and you know, parties 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. show me has been there to the enforcement and actually had, sees half a 1000000 rupees of the company under the provisions of the foreign exchange management act. 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 show me group entities offered dangers on the border between india and china escalated in

2020 scrutiny against chinese firm has been tightened by indian parties more than $200.00 mobile applications, including dick talk also have been bad since, ah, well, huge lines have been forming a gas stations in ethiopia with the east african countries struggling with full shortages and rapidly escalating costs. some drivers said that they had to wait as long as 8 hours to fill up at the pump for diesel. now authorities 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. as a result of that state aid costs have been sky rocketing around. the world is transport disruptions and peanut. if sanctions have impacted supplies of essential commodities. because as i love yours, 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 mother though you are go. i've been with coupon 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 places. now, because i don't think it's fair to blame the government, while there is a lack of supply at the source, you know, i 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 countries in an unprecedented way. the world will greatly benefit if there is peace between these 2 countries in nothing. similar issues elsewhere on the continent to where there are actually calls now for nationwide protests in south africa as fuel prices have risen to record highs. as ortiz pool,

a slayer explains the new hike comes with many in the country. struggling to make ends meet 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 new record so many people choosing to work from home, while truck drivers blocked at main roads in protest and planned new strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more fit up with the constant hikes and blamed 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 when he's into a, takes almost one of those the $11000.00 that they had flies. we would be our president have to because this be somebody who would

trust in need if you speak to dad to 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 been 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 robbed by protest. this is in africa, have been ignored. they've the crisis in the whole region, for example. they is risk of starvation. in fact, 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 its eyes off spaces where autocrat and honda is really rec, and i was on the continent for the high. so expected 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 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 leave both the country and the region closer to crisis point policy, a r t, no space. some comments not from flag may appear in. he said that the west in on fluids against russia has failed. but moscow still needs to remain vigilant in the face of new sanctions. so i may, putin was mulling over russia's economic strategy during a meeting with top officials stuck with me, 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 pacing. spoke with a gas prom has 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 on the 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 markets. 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, present patient didn't just focus on russia. he also focused on the global impact that these massive loads of sanctions on russia having he talks about how your pay is now facing and a massive energy crisis. and that people might not even be able to heat their home sufficiently. this coming wind side, 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 impact of these uneasy times. and so, as we'll talk to these latest rounds of sanctions, which includes that oil embargo and he wants russian companies to be braced and ready low with it. especially because the red cross has raised the alarm over the plight of millions of civilians in yemen, which has been ravaged by a t z of civil war where they are suffering. it says being exacerbated by recurring hostilities. some of the local women say that they just have no access to health care policy back on many occasions during the peak of the violence,

i had the choice of either staying home and dying from my illness or risking getting caught in the crossfire while trying to reach the nearest dialysis center. i was assigned to a cancer 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 back. 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 roadblocks and the unavailability of transportation due to violent clashes. now according to that new report by the red cross, nearly 66 percent of the amans people turn in lack access to basic health care. not include fix 1000000 women who desperately need medical assistance, nearly 5000000 suffering from severe hunger. we've pregnant and breast feeding women also amongst them. now one mother and 6 newborns reportedly die every 2

hours in yemen. now the conflict in yemen has taken a devastating toll on civilians across the country with people suffering from constant shelly and strikes. now it's a saudi led military coalition that has been waging a relentless assault on who feed 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 that was supplied by western countries, including the u. s. and the u. k. one of the red crosses reports authors is cher olma, and he gave us a 1st hand account of the humanitarian disaster unfolding in yemen. a look. yeah, i was, there was i kid this millennia, the lady with began said like i, i met her imitating 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, imagine, i mean it's, it's unbelievable. and then it was, was very difficult because the ladies, you know, is almost dying and heard 7 years old. you know, i, girl, she's taking head. she says she's looking after head. and even de la, the little girl, you know what, what was like, you know, was forced to leave her to abandon 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. either i millions of people in yemen who need to know we need to support from the international community. an international organization on the wall should not only focus on on a specific car context, but they also should, you know,

focus more on the humidity and situation. and that many people should not be, should not be left alone a facing, you know, their fate. and now to the latest from the frontline in ukraine, local authorities in the russia controlled southern the city of, nor via kafka say an attack on a hydro. electric plant by keir forces has been thwarted. russian missile defense prevented the plant from being hit and it is continuing to operate now in the neighboring la guns for public russian, that forces have been advancing westwards off the claiming control of the last ukranian stronghold bear our senior correspondent moore, at gans to have visited russian artillery positions near the city of lisi chance and 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, inaction by the sound of it grad missiles, but the entire horizon is on fire over there, there 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. it is no secret, has been a decisive factor on the battlefield. and here in the fields in 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 sienna, every shot for it to count requires complicated calculations, mathematics, solid intelligence and guidance from spotters and drones. when a williamson of newark, where you write a firing position with 2 s 19 houses at my command. boy, you'd love it when you were working effectively with the guns forces, certainly in ethical us and 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 fight, especially in the brief window after they receive additional nato weapons shipments . and before they are destroyed, a close called several opinion shelter now impacted in the, in the field with 510 minutes. it's,

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 think he's thinking, it's too they ran away. his cronyn soldiers told us that up commands as had flat 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 blizzard 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 in our g a r g 90 hi. believe. but all of this again supplied by this new 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 frog 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 ot from the la guns people's republic

now plan to attack crimea, as kurtz straight bridge has been thwarted. according to a japanese paper sent claims that the authorities learned the plan after arresting german soldiers for stealing military equipment. citing materials from the investigation stern says 2 of those arrested had been discussing plans to attack the bridge, which connects crimea and mainland russia. german authorities are still to comment on those allegations. well, that's your round up for this hour. i'll be back in around 30 minutes of law. i do hope that you can join us again. here are scenes national now to be a historical watershed brushes, 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 west loss. in

spring 2022, europe began closing ports to russian vessels, one after another. they sanctions package bars. russian flag vessels from entering you port belgium, bulgaria, lithuania. romania. lee announced that there would be close to russian ships. russian vessels carrying. guess i'll call a covers visor band. it's similar decision was taken by canada and later by the united states. ah .
