ah, ah ah, these here is a particularly nasty thing. this is called, i leave my knees all over our correspondent explorers a once embattled oil refinery and little guns and city of leafy chance, where he discovers scores of band of munitions allegedly planted by ukrainian troops before they fled. china that you won, gains ground on the us dollar. as a new survey shows, 85 percent of the world's central banks either hold or intend to hold the chinese national currency can years government passes, blame for its food crisis on the far way. conflict in ukraine as protestors in the

eastern african country express outrage over struggling to afford basic food a sleeping hungry. we have other people are depopulated, that are not finding it hard to prevent the food food on the table with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is aren't international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest from the front lines of the war in ukraine, ukraine's showing of residential areas and the done yet republic on friday, reportedly killed at least 3 civilians that included one in the see of of go where the local mayor released images of the attacks aftermath, local authority said residential buildings and public infrastructure came under fire warning at least 11 people, including 3 children,

the capital city. daniel was also targeted with 2 women reported killed in the shelling by gives forces. in recent days, at least 70 civilians in the republic have been declared killed by ukrainian military attacks. next our report from our senior correspondent who visited an oil refinery in the once embattled lou ganske city of lasy chance, which has now come under the control of russian lead forces, exploring the facility. the r t crew discovered an abundance of prohibited land mines. the chief had vowed to dismantle, in accordance with international treaties parties. randasia has more. ah, the don bass is a beautiful land put out green and verdant, but it burns fly and wide violence. mangles the horizon here that violence is centered around the lease. he chanced oil refinery

reaching here was neither safe nor easy. this is a vast industrial zone, surrounded by open terrain of firing range for artillery. industrial complex itself, though, is incredibly similar to mary. you bulls infamous as of steel plant. a warren have buildings, tunnels and defenses. just as they did in mary, you pull here at the least chance or refinery. if radian tube see the nationalist they, they build a real fort were covered with foreign positions. they left here as they did maribelle without much of a fight. but when russian troops and allied forces came in, they were met with a storm of artillery and rockets. nothing has been sped in the endless shelling. ukraine has thrown almost everything in its arsenal at the refinery. as i say,

the situation of felicity chance cooler finally remains very heads ukrainian. ha tillery ah. multiple rocket launcher systems, grog, oregon key. pouring out the wall refineries in beads to sloop the russian advance in the area of the plant itself is enormous. but you can literally just point the camera in any direction. wait 1015 minutes and there will be an impact. oh, it isn't just the sky. and the shells screaming through it that a dangerous, but the ground itself, we were warned in no uncertain comes to watch our every step. now this here is a particularly nasty thing. this is called a leaf mine or lipa stalk in russian because obviously the size and shape of it in

the color are they were reminiscent, have a leave. it would be now on impossible to spot this in a wooded area. the explosion it produces, if disturbed, is enough to tear off someone's heel. and these are all over the oil refinery. the ukrainian military has been spreading these all over the place. ah, careful, careful, careful. adding these all over the place via oregon rockets, cosette markets, which open up and drop hundreds. so does he a shed a video with us showing what would happen if you set one off or this is what it looks like. a piece of a glass container to glass to in this section of mine which is,

which is thicker. if pressed the glass to burst and the destination happens, it is possible to disarm it. if you pick it up very ever so gently, ah, ever so gently, by this part, the thin pot and unscrew the destiny. these shouldn't even be here. ukraine had signed and ratified the auto mind band convention. these minds were explicitly band. it assured the international community that it had the steroids, its stock pals. what's worse, these are old soviet make and lack the vital self destruct mechanism that triggers after 3 or 4 days. these could potentially stick around for decades. the least chance all refinery is now relatively far from the front lines. the thunder and roar of bloss here is truly waning. but what happened here?

the blind mining of dozens of square kilometers of industrial property of farms and fields will haunt this place and the local population. for years, more at guys the of r t, from the login's, the people's republic. the west's political onslaught against russia has failed, but moscow still needs to remain vigilant in the face of new sanctions. that's according to vladimir putin who mulder over russia's economic strategy during a meeting with top officials. that was the way 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 do remain for president painting as spoke with a gas pom 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 still risks bill ahead. so what russia is going to have to do is just roll with the punches, so to speak. and that's what it'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 . 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 talked 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 focus. 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 says, and he speaks 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 embargo and he wants russian companies to be braced and ready low with it, especially because the central banks around the world are increasingly keen to hold chinese. you want as a reserved currency, that's according to the latest survey by swift economic powerhouse u. b. s. countries have been seeking to diversify away from the dollar in order to be less exposed to us dominance over the global financial system or cheese. rachel blevins explains b,

u. s. dollar may still hold the title of the world's reserve currency, but its biggest competitors continue to gain ground, especially as washington steps up its attempts to use economic power as a weapon against countries it doesn't get along with. but while the us has been turning up this thing, sions, countries like china has been on the rise. in fact, according to the latest annual reserve survey from u. b as 85 percent of central banks say they either hold or want to hold the chinese you want. and that's no coincidence as mainstream analysts to admit that washington's campaign to target and isolate russia this year has led to concerns that other countries will be next on the list. and that they could receive similar treatment if they don't go along with demands from the us. as a result of the current economic climate, central banks average share of us dollar holdings was 63 percent in june, down significantly from 69 percent in 2000. and 20 want this as other countries,

such as argentina and iran, have expressed interest in joining the bricks group of countries, which as it stands right now represents around 40 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the global economy. so useless, but together with bricks partners, we are developing reliable alternative mechanisms for engine settlements. we are exploring the possibility of creating an international reserve current based on a basket of currencies. and with the western campaign to isolate russia from swift, moscow's alternative payment system has only continued to grow and now works with more than $50.00 for an organization from 12 countries. this all comes as china confirms it, is in the process of creating a you on reserve fun with indonesia, malaysia, hong kong, chill, a and singapore with each country planning to contribute around $2200000000.00 presenting a clear challenge to the dominance of the us dollar, meanwhile, series like egypt are also looking for ways to survive without the big buck as

cairo sees the ways in which the current sanctions against russia stand to hurt its own economy. russian tourists are also among the biggest spend is in the egyptian tourism sector. from that perspective, it makes sense for egypt to try to maintain these relations. the only way to do so under the current sanctions regime is to bypass the us lead financial system which has become unduly restrictive and its by threats from the u. s. other countries are continuing to do big business with russia, with reports noting that an indian company may be historic purchase of russian call and you on rather than dollars. that could also be the case in the future for saudi arabia and the reports from earlier this year that the nation was considering one day selling oil and china's currency, which would have a major impact on the energy industry. it comes as no surprise that the u. s is not happy and it has been critical of all threats to the dollars dominance. who wouldn't like to see mechanisms that are designed to prop up the rebel or to

undermine the dollar based financial system or to sicken vans of financial sanctions was started as a trickle is beginning to look like a stream. and this all comes in response to a us government that knows exactly how powerful its currency is and has been years working to weaponized it against other countries. the only problem, all those countries are now starting to show there is strength in numbers. as a pushback with increasing power, the problem is that there's a real there's a real split in where the united states should go even with washington dc. i've been identifying i, what i think is a sincere split between the federal reserve in commercial banking interest in the u . s. and white house policy and us treasury policy. i don't think those 2 groups are on the same page, and i think there's a very strong group of people within the us who realized that having the world's was our currency is a burden. we can no longer afford to have and lar, courage in this kind of d dollarization. the big question now is,

when will saudi arabia break their currency pag to the us all? once the saudis do that? i think we, we want to watch what look at that as a kind of step function in the, the rate of dollars asian. we're going to move into a different regime in terms of globalization, of other currencies. china is dominance over solar panel. production is a threat to the west green agency that's according to a new report from the paris based international energy agency which once western countries to rapidly increase their share of the industry and china produces more than 80 percent of the world's polysilicon used for solar panels. at a fraction of the cost of western competitors, but the international energy agency has cautioned that the u and the u. s. shouldn't depend on those supplies and should instead boost their own manufacturing, particularly if you wants to reach its 0 mission goal. within the next 3 decades,

it has also called on the u. s. to quadruple is solar panel production reportedly to avoid trade policy risks with beijing. china has been instrumental in bringing down costs worldwide for solar power, with multiple benefits for clean energy transitions. at the same time, the level of geographical concentration in global supply chains also poses potential challenges that governments need to address. as the world struggles with a severe energy crisis due to disrupted supply chains, the concentration of developing energy source in the hands of china seems to be a troubling prospect for the west that you previously achieve beijing of actually ignoring their green agenda. but now the paras agreements goal of reaching 0 emissions by 2050 could rely entirely on china. tomorrow we joined live by independent china specialist, andrew young and hong kong. thank you very much for being with us here on our international. so always a pleasure. if we really get down to this,

is there any possibility that chinese solar power manufacturers could negatively affect the global green energy market? well, anything tighter is doing or has done and is now being portrayed as a threat now, or as, as a kind of a google eventually, the same applies to what is reported now on solar power. energy. and the same applies to try to spell and rope sample in the united states woke up to the burn row which has. ready been going on for more than 10 years and something it is a oh wow. all over the place. and i will be something confronted the same with the engine solar power the big lately. ready warning, warming, and climate change, taurus developing all the solar powers, which would help the world of this climate challenges. but this is the reality

now, because so time as well as because manufacturer and the biggest trader, and $130.00 companies in china is the largest partner. compare with the $740.00 united states, the china is embedded in the world, the flying battery chain, especially on the energy of the green energy. i mean, the solar panels are all the, most of the world manufacturing sort of panels in china together with the kind of special metals and minerals. most of them are in china. so i think that this is the reality. and the irony is that in the united states, there was a cam saying that i still don't have a recipe of climate change and best of interest in oil and also bills as well as of all, if you don't have the infrastructure. so the more affordable solar panels your

benefit to the world. but in this age, all, all power, great power, a united states and china, and a lot of these kids on this campaign or even china on it. why is that? why do you think that european solar panel producers perceive, and american as well, the efficiency of chinese manufacturers as such a threat? i think that they are, there's a legal side all the elements of the u. s. dollar for a. ready use and is that becoming more dominant? and then the united states is weapon? i think it and the china we do the same, but actually a lot of time is always more b as a to achieve is in china's

and growing it is almost like a big panda. so good in pounds. if a parent is girl good. so it was a while the 2nd, but actually, this is the reality. i taught us, right? all right. with, you know, the countries for the whole school to the united states and everything. but to try to see that goes every shadow. looks like a snake. interesting. i like the pan to reference by the way, but on the flip side, the positive angle here wire investors, so inclined to allocate their funds towards developing green energy in china. well, 1st of all, as i mentioned the ball, there are 2 of a strong pro. also, you can, and this is part of the american industrial literature complex because of

a lot of vested interest in oil and gas. and these are very big companies, big ones, like a b, a powerful political piece and parties. so i think that they, it almost a. ready like to keep the oil rolling as far as possible. the 2nd thing, because they see the china is low dominance, becoming dominant in many different trades and also develop row. and now, and guess what is, this is the reality because they, this is the thing, is that the last day, lots of deals. a lot of these any more, anything under the sun? well, why is all producing china once we get to cost? now this is not because china wants it because china is now has the world one that

was what the lation of mankind on the planet. i'm china and with this kind of labor reservoir i've been trying to produce what's watch it just the reality. ready as of the wish of the labor and it doesn't produce a big place and boston and also with the place. so or tray will. ready give way to i will support the cause of labor, but that's not accepted by the american. now and are we live in a global world? markets are all intertwined. if you can't really separate one element out of the world market, we're seeing that right here. russia can be, you actually achieve climate neutrality by 2050, which is their goal without the help from chinese manufacturers. well 1st of all, the manufacturing and production. ready go on europe, you want to achieve go. they have

a energy supply by countries like norway and other countries as, as europe is going green. but with all the solar panels i. ready and this is going to take a bit and energy and get to eat a, a report for most of all of this in china. i think that the european union and approach to china is slightly different. back with you want to develop is the policy was china on the one hand is trying to put on hold, but on the other hand, you do not want to be an entity. so i think that those folks that you would see that i would try on solar panels and there was no reason why you cannot except more affordable solar panels that those are cheap. and if you go along an

interesting conversation, appreciate it. thanks for being an arc. international and independent specialist on china, hundreds of people in kenya have taken to the streets and protest over rapidly rising cost of living in the east african nation. as many say they are increasingly struggling to put food on the table. and the government has blamed a crisis on the conflict in ukraine. 8000 kilometers away saying it's affected prices throughout the world. a cost have been searching for basic food stuffs, in kenya, with flowers, sugar, and cooking oil, doubling in price in recent weeks. rochesters have blamed for government for the economic hardships as they gathered in front of the president's administration building to express their outrage. some said the government has been treating them like slaves in their own country. oh, i don't want to

meet my legs now. you know what to do. i know when children are starving to death, and honestly, we are suffering simply because we cannot afford even a pack of corn flower or may not. even the most common fish produced in kenya is now too expensive about you. so it has forced us members of the community to come out of our houses under bring to the attention of the government, not to the cost of living is daily rising and it is now hurting us. many families are slipping hungry. we have the people are departmentalised that are not finding it hard driven for poor report foot on the table. we want to ask that government not to they must to now come fought on douglas. this issue. dutch police have fired warning chance at outraged farmers protesting against a new green initiative that could shut down their businesses. the policy would force the agricultural industry to use less fertilizer and reduce livestock numbers in an effort to lower pollution. here some of the footage from the just

demonstrated in the netherlands. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. dutch farmers came under fire, described by police says warning shots this week as they took to the streets and blocks supermarkets and roads in their tractors to protest a green crack down on their businesses. western leaders are banging the drum about a global food shortage, but they only seem to be making life harder for the farmers who produce it. dutch lawmakers have just voted to give provincial governments one year to come up with a plan to reduce foreign missions like nitrogen oxide and ammonia that are produced

by animal waste or fertilizer, by 50 percent, by the year 2030. so what's next? stopping the cattle that eventually end up on our tables from belching or passing wind latch to react. scientists around the world are reportedly working on breeding less gassy beef which the un considered to be as much of a climate problem as transport ruminants such as cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats produce nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane, which is the most emitted gas and is released through belching scientists are working on ways to reduce those emissions, including by breathing animals that burn, bless, adjusting their diets, so they produce less methane and planting trees and pastures. various major media reports in the west are saying that dust reforms are expected to include reducing the number of livestock or buying up farms whose animals are considered to waste

producing. the honest message is that not all farmers can continue their business. so now the green agenda means forcing the buy up of private property because your cows belts too much, even as western leaders complain of food shortages all because the european union and their allies are rationally obsessed with their climate change agenda. even as member states revert to cool and the e u re classifies gas and nuclear as green. the european commission has been flirting with this notion of livestock as an environmental hazard, at least since the publication of report on the question in 2020. if the dutch government succeeds enforcing the sale of private property from farmers under the pretext of helping to save the environment from belching cows than at risk setting, a pretty dangerous precedent for private property rights within the european union

. and just before we go, the twitter buyout deal could end in court as the world's richest man on mosque has said that he wants to scrap the potential purchase mosque, hasn't notified the social networking company of his decision to call off the $44000000000.00 deal due to problems with disapproving the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on the platform. now twitter is expected to take mosque to port to try to force him to complete the transaction. the can read the 4 full story and more about it on our website r t. that is a tremendous our i'll be back in 31 and a half minutes with another phone for selection. is this our transmission? ah, ah

ah . ah, the middle east of conflict in the city and conflict, the under development in africa or in south america and asia. interestingly, none of these are being raised in the past 6 months. so not to indicate or narrative has been shifted with conflict in ukraine and so that is more of robert. so tell me not hearing that listen to us, you know, be all to exist. a problem not need to be resorts

ah ah, with in spring 2022 euro began closing forced to russian vessels one after another. they sanctions package bombs, russian flag vessels from entering you ports, belgium, bulgaria, lithuania, romania, tuna. lee announced that there would be close to russian ships, russian vessels. karen gas, i'll call cause i nico m. and i ran our covers license is similar decision was taken by canada, him later by the united states. ah.
