when you, when you're singing with numbness, listen, go to the school some a delusion. look a little booklet lucian with assassinated on the campaign trail. japan's former prime minister sions though all bay has died after being shot my lone gunman who says that he had planned the attack brushes, foreign minister urges western powers to make up their minds about what they really want ukraine be at peace talks or fight till the end of the oil is just western geometry damage tiny. so the main thing here is that ideology, we still have a concern for ukrainian citizens. the country itself, or even european security, alcohol in plus african nations struggle with fuel shortages and rapidly inc. escalating costs with western sanctions against russia,

with far reaching collateral damage. with, with all the top stories around the globe is out here in to national coming to you from our studio here in moscow. i'm charlotte, even ski, a warm welcome to the program. well, japan's for my prime minister sion so all bay has died in hospital after being show us an election campaign event. a man detained after the shooting has said that he did intend to kill the former prime minister. the shocking attack took place in the japanese city of nora. people at the thing did attempt to revive all bay before the paramedics arrived. but the form of premier was an ad listed to hospital, but was said to have in 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. the alleged attack identified as the 41 year old call to see you are young, gummy did not resist the arrest. and he's now in police custody report says that he's a former member of japan's navy. he's also believed to view the homemade double barreled firearm resembling a saw off shot gun. the 41 year old is also reported to have told the police that he was frustrated with the former prime minister, who he believe to be part of a specific organization. and that he did have the intention of killing him. now, according to a japanese broadcast, the police have found what's believe to be explosive devices in the apartment of the lead shooter. local residents were reported to have been asked to move to a safe distance from the scene. we've been hearing more details about the attack

from a local reporter in japan. the floor god core district level control. there are no words except confusion and refusal to recognize violence against the politician at 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. avi, however, public sympathies will likely be on the side of his political party. him to base 9 years as prime minister made him the longest serving premier in japan's history. that was until he resign citing health issues back in 2020. now he remained influential in the ruling liberal democratic party for which he was actually promoting the candidates ahead of parliamentary elections. this coming weekend, former british diplomat, william melanson says japanese society is facing

a deepening polarization. ah, it was not sufficiently naturalistic. there are 2 kinds, at least 2 kinds of japanese nationalists, the kind that want the americans in there too. we wouldn't like it are prepared to accept american nuclear weapons there 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 somewhere i tradition, where you look at all foreigners out and make it powerful. japan once will 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, anti nuclear, anti american, anti nato lobby on the one hand. and on the other hand,

those of the more modern 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 nationalistic, is dangerous. but it could happen. western powers, all preventing russia from exporting grain by blocking access to foreign port, at least according to russia's foreign minister who's been speaking at the meeting of g twenty's top. diplomats. this is sort of a lab rove who is also warned that western states want to take the shipment of grain under their full control. so so, so for the awards this last for the use of good supplies of russian grains, there are no barriers on our side or was at the west as imposed restrictions on our

ships or, or stuck in the access to ports, restricting financial payments for the transit include supplies such we have drawn attention to this or this includes situations in the black sea. if the west wants to get the grain out there so badly, it needs to make clear that the mind, the black sea ports and that it ships leave for the territorial waters of ukraine's with us all and russia. for the help turkey is ready to ensure the security of such convoys in the open sea. the problem is that our western colleagues want to create an international monitoring mechanism for this process. more 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. now said caleb has held talks with his chinese and brazilian counterparts on the sidelines all that forum. meanwhile, brazil's president is criticized the sanctions imposed by the u. s. and the year against russia. political and foreign policy expert sort of come, i'll do it her believe said the looming feed crisis has to be addressed at that g

20 meeting. he says it's a pressing issue with millions of people now expected to be affected by food insecurity. sanctions on getting out, you know, on gracen typing, these are some bathroom thing needs to be addressed there because i saw that yes, there has been sanctions on last year on very unusual relationship. your premium was much when it comes to the question of grain man, far you know anything each and every individual like girlfriend, you know, by, can better has to be on a viewpoint in relation to the bathroom. after all, the rain reach out to being exported from the last year. all the food frames reach out and import it into the men are common people last thoughts you know, and these are men for no reason to be drilled. who have nothing to do with the walk? well, meanwhile, if somebody has be,

might buy some rather and diplomatic behavior. and some of the g 7 foreign ministers have tried hard to avoid bumping in to set up a laugh at that event. west and officials of apparently refused to have a dinner. even take the traditional group photo with rushes, foreign minister in a boy court that's reportedly been spearheaded by b, u. s. secretary of state antony blinking. now for his part lab rove says the west put fits o ny the a logical priorities above the peace efforts for ukraine. yeah. sit in the form and taken the liberty of reminding 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 not with us. you'll, if they want your crimes victory over russia 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 pieces. and this western geometry demonstrate that the main thing here is the ideology. instead of

a concern for ukranian citizens, the country itself, or even european security alcoholism, much yellow. well, that says us sentences made with president the lensky in kiev, highlighting the importance of washington support for ukraine. but it appears that not every battle should be sought with weapons, with one sen cooling, full 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. the director of the trans national foundation for peace and feature research thing tank believes that some of the behavior of the politicians that the g 20 belies they status as diplomats. this is not a way for us to a power politician to behave. but i think it's a 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 a dinner if people sitting at the same table. this is not a mature, this is not at greece novel. there's nothing to do with diplomacy or professionalism . and if you listen to the indonesia precedence, welcome speech. when he talked about that piece, he talks about sustainability. he talks about mutual respect, tolerance, a bet, a, well, it cetera. and they are simply doing the opposite and misusing a meeting, which was not supposed to be about you crying or the conflict in europe. what about humanities problem? the western onslaught against russia has failed, but moscow still needs to remain vigilant in the face of new sanctions. that's according to russian president vladimir putin, who's been mulling over his country's economic strategy during a meeting with top officials. me the so called economic blitzkrieg by our ill

wishers against russia has of course failed to. however, some damage is still being done to our economy by the sanctions and restrictions and some risks to do will remain for president painting as spoke with a gas prom heads early on friday. the 1st time after he said, he admitted that the have been an impact on the russian economy from these unprecedented sanctions on the all the way still ahead, russia is going to have to do is go with the punches, so to speak. and that's what he's doing is focusing on increasing its output to different energy market. because if you has implemented another round of sanctions against russia, including an oil embargo, russian companies should already be prepared for this move for our key priority is include the build up of gas development infrastructure and russian regions, as well as the diversification of ex, your city to promising southern and eastern markets. urine speaking, following that meeting with the gas prom heads,

president patient didn't just focus on russia. he also focused on the global impacts 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 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 europe is bracing for hard times, president putin said, and he speaks today that he wants to protect the russian people from feeling the severe impact of these uneasy times. and so, as you will talk to these latest rounds of sanctions, which includes that oil embargo and he wants russian companies to be braced and ready row with it as best they can. ah, now he shines,

have been for me at gas stations in ethiopia with the east african countries struggling with food shortages and rapidly escalating costs. some drivers the said to have waited as long as 8 hours for diesel to fill up at the pump. now, authorities have increased the price of diesel by 38 percent as they cut government fuel subsidies. previously, ethiopian consumers only paid about a quarter of the regular global rates for the fuel. as a result of that state 8 costs have been skyrocketing around the world is transport disruptions and punitive sanctions of impacted supplies of essential commodities. because as i look 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. malavar lou, our guy i've been in this 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 places. now, because i don't think it's fair to blame the government, while there is a lack of supply the source, you know, i 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 $2.00 countries. in an unprecedented way. the world will greatly benefit if there is peace between these 2 countries in nothing. now elsewhere on the continent, there all calls for protest nationwide in south africa that comes to seal prices. a reason to record heights has all he's pool. a slayer explains the new height comes with many in the country. struggling to just make ends me 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 with many people choosing to work from home while truck drivers

flocked main roads in protest and plant 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 close. we know with the proven $1.05 can do with when into a keeps almost one of those, the 100-1000. that it is they have they have to because this be somebody who was in need to speak to dad to did that. i'd people, maybe they couldn't make sample, 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. shows the world's 3rd largest producer of crude oil. the waste economic sanctions on moscow have left poor african countries literally having to pay the price. because neighbors, along with other african countries have subsequently been rocked by protests, learners crisis is in africa, have been ignored. they've the crisis in the start hill region, for example. they 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 is in the world actually occurring in the africa and the a norm. 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, can 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 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 will be alarm is being raised by the red course over the plight of millions of civilians in yemen,

which has been ravaged by 8 years of civil war with a suffering being exacerbated by reoccurring hostilities. some of the local women say that 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 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 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 roadblocks and the unavailability of transportation due to violent clashes. according to a new report by the red cross, nearly 66 of yemen percent of the amans people currently lack access to

a basic health care that includes 6000000 women who desperately need medical assistance. nearly 5000000 a suffering from severe hunger with pregnant fan breastfeeding women. amongst them one mother and 6 newborns reportedly die every 2 hours in yemen. now the conflict in yemen is taken a devastating toll on civilians across the country with people suffering from constant shelling and air strikes. as i delight military coalition has been waging a relentless assault on who c 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. that includes the u. s. and the u. k. one of the red cross reports authors is bashir omar, and he gave us a 1st hand account of the humanitarian disaster in yemen. a look. yeah,

i was there was i get 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 i want to die in peace. this is where she sat. imagine. i mean it's, it's unbelievable. i'm done. it was, was very difficult because the ladies, you know, is almost dying unheard. i 7 years old, you know, girl, she's taking head. she says she's looking after 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 his gone, i 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 blight 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 and international organization on the wall should not only focus on on a specific goal context. but they also showed, you know, focus more on the home, a tune situation and that many people should not be, should not be left alone a face think you know, their fate. ah, now in their launches, multiple raids against chinese enterprises over alleged money laundering cases. a china says the probes disrupt business activities between the 2 countries and therefore undermine invest a confidence ortiz correspondent, luncheon sharma as more on this story, a miss doing economic ties between beijing and your day in dallas last, multiple raids against chinese companies accusing them all financial irregularities,

forces has been floated russia missile defenses apparently prevented the plant from being hit. and that plant is continuing to operate. now in the neighboring la guns republic, russian, that forces have been advancing westward off declaiming control of the last ukrainian stronghold. back while senior correspondent maurice gas div visited russian artillery positions near the city of b. c. 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. 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 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 countryside of the don bass, it has been hyper active here at what once ukrainian artillery positions, ah, russian self propelled how it says $152.00 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 howitzers, i my command boy, he had nothing. lee,

my teeth were working effectively with the guns forces. certainly in the color center we were, there's a new battlefield experience here every day. what 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 shipment . and before they are destroyed, close called several opinion shelter now impacted in the, in the field with their 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. that 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 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 r g 90 hi. believe. but all of this again, supplied by those whom state still unused. and
