[000:00:00;00] a little grain, lisa, have that with particularly nasty thing. this is cool. i leave my knees all over. are corresponded to explore is a once in battled oil refinery in the loo, gone city of lucy chance, where he discovered scores of band munitions allegedly planted by ukrainian troops before they quit china as you want. gains ground on the u. s. dollar as a new survey shows 85 percent of the world, the central banks either hold or intend to hold the chinese national firm that can use government passes, blame for its food crisis on the far away conflict in ukraine as protestors in the

eastern african country. express outrage over struggling to afford basic for a living hungry. we have the department that are not finding it hard. we been put on the table with kathy my direct more studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. i know we start with the latest from the front lines of the war in ukraine, ukraine's showing of residential areas in the done yet republic on friday, reportedly killed at least 3 civilians that included one in the city of god was where the local mayor released images of the attacks aftermath, local authorities said residential buildings and public infrastructure came under fire, wounding at least 11 people,

including 3 children. the capital city done yet was also targeted with 2 women reported killed in the shelling by gives forces in recent days. at least 7 civilians and the republic have been declared killed by ukrainian military attacks . next, a report from our senior correspondent who visited an oil refinery. the once embattled ganske city of lucy chance, which has now come under the control of russian lead forces. exploring the facility, the archie crew discovered an abundance of prohibited land mines. that key of had vowed to dismantle, in accordance with international treaties parties. my guardian reports ah, the dawn bass is a beautiful land, fertile green and verdant. but it burns find 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 builds infamous as of steel plant. a warren have buildings, tunnels and defenses. just as they did in mary, you pull here at the least the chance all refinery. if radian tube see are the nationalists 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 spared 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 tense. ukrainian, har tillery, ah, multiple rocket launcher systems, grub, gram key. pouring out the wall refinery in the beats to sloop, the russian advance in the area of the plant itself is enormous. but you can literally just point the camera and any direction, wait and 15 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 terms 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 of the size and shape of it in the color are there right? 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. 6 careful, careful, careful. adding these all over the place via oregon rockets, cosette markets, which open up and drop. hundreds, the soldiers ye 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, 2 glass 2 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 everson gently, ah, ever so gently, by this pot, the thin pot and unscrew with ethnic, these shouldn't even be here. ukraine had signed and ratified the auto mind band convention. these minds were explicitly band it the should the international community that it had the steroids it stop. paul's 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 a foot decades. the niecy 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 la guns 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. this is according to vladimir putin who mold over russia's economic strategy during a meeting with top officials, seconds away. 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. i spoke with a gas prom heads early on friday of the 1st time after he said, what he admitted that the has been an impact on the russian economy from these

unprecedented sanctions on the all the race still ahead. so what 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 and margot, 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 need diversification of ex, your city to promising southern and eastern markets. urine making following that meeting with the gas. com heads, present 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 it was europe his bracing for hard times. president putin said, and he's speech today that he wants to protect the russian people from feeling the severe impacts 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 to row with it, especially because the central banks around the world are increasingly keen to hold chinese. you want as a reserve currency that's according to the latest survey by swiss 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. ortiz rachel blevins, comments 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 the sanctions countries like china has been on the ra, if 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 concern 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 $21.00 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 i'm using this together with bricks partners. we are developing reliable alternative mechanisms before and not in the settlements. we are exploring the possibility of creating an international reserve current based on a basket of your current duties. 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 trying to confirm that is in the process of creating a you on reserve fun with indonesia, malaysia, hong kong chalet and singapore, with each country planning to contribute around $2200000000.00 presenting a clear challenge to the dominance of the u. s. 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, theresa russo 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 u. s. lead financial system which has become unduly restrictive, and it's by threats from the u. s. other countries are continuing to do big business with russia, with reports noting then an indian cement 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 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 2nd vent of financial sanctions was started as a trickle is beginning to look like a stream and then 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 manual 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 purging,

this kind of d dollarization. the big question now is, when will saudi arabia break their currency peg to the us? 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 d dollars ation. we're going to move into a different regime in terms of globalization of other currencies. china's dominance over solar panel production is a threat to the west green agenda. 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. now 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 e u and the u. s. shouldn't depend on those supply that should instead boosted their own manufacturing, particularly if the you wants to reach it's 0 emission goal within the next 3

decades. it has also called on the u. s. to quadruple it's 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 a developing energy source in the hands of china seems to be a troubling prospect for the west. the you previously accused beijing of actually ignoring their green agenda. but now the paris agreements goal of reaching 0 emissions by 2050 could rely entirely on china. we heard from an independent expert, andrew young, who commented about china's role in global green energy supplies,

as well as that goes manufacturer and the biggest data. and 130 countries, a lot of compare with the 740 united states to try to embed it in, well, the line very change, especially on the energy of the green energy. i mean, the solar panel looks all, all the, most of the wells manufacturing sort of, panel designers together with the kind of special mechanism mineral law in china. and so i think that this is the reality and the irony is back in the united states. there was a cam saying that i still don't have the recipe of climate change and best of interest in oil and, and, and also, you know, and most of all the, don't have the infrastructure. so the more affordable solar panels

a well in this age group, all power, great power rivalry between charter united states and china and the united states keeps on this campaign. or even on china, dutch police have fired warning shots and 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 live stock numbers in an effort to lower pollution. here some footage from the demonstration in than other ones. 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 to 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. well, actually i, 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 burke less adjusting their diet. 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 call and the

e u reclassified 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 . hundreds of people in kenya have taken to the streets and protests over rapidly rising cost of living in the east african nation. as many say they are increasingly struggling to put food on the table. the government has blamed the crisis on the conflict in ukraine. 8000 kilometers away saying it's affected prices throughout the world. a costs have been surging for basic food stuffs, in kenya, and with flour, sugar,

and cooking oil doubling in price and recent weeks. so testers have blamed to the government for the economic hardships as they gathered in front of the president's administration building to express their outrage, some said, and the government has been treating them like slaves and their own country. oh, that i do. i don't want to meet my legs not want to join up 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 fish produced in kenya is now too expensive about you. so it does force, does member of the community to come out of our houses under bring to the attention of the government that the cost of living is daily rising and it is now hunting us . many families are slipping hungry. we have the underprivileged depart believe that are not finding it hard. prevent foot port report foot on the on the table. we

want to ask the government that they must now come forth on god bless this issue. the red cross has raised the alarm over the plight of millions of civilians in the middle eastern nation of yemen, ravaged by 8 years of civil war. their suffering has been exacerbated by recurring hostilities. many local women have no access to healthcare. uh huh. any 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. a 2nd ago, 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 there. 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 or coding to

a new report by the red cross. nearly 66 percent of humans. people currently slack access to basic healthcare that includes 6000000 women who desperately need medical assistance. nearly 5000000 are suffering from severe hunger with pregnant and breast feeding women among them. one mother and 6 new borns reportedly die on average every 2 hours in the crisis. racked country conflict has taken a devastating toll on civilians across the country with local residents suffering from constant shelling and air strikes. as a saudi led military coalition has been waging a relentless assault on hooting rebels in neighboring yemen. some human rights groups have drawn attention to the fact that the saudi lead forces haven't been using weapons and ammunition supplied by western countries, including the us and britain. one of the red crosses reports, authors, the sheer omar gave us a 1st hand account of the for military disaster. i look, yeah, i was, there was like a dis millennia the lady with began said like i,

i met her, i met heading person last week. i was in mad it 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 sat. imagine. i mean it's, it's unbelievable. and then it was put very difficult because the ladies, you know, is almost dying and heard. i 7 years old, you know, i girls, she's taking head and she says she's not, can go ahead and even believe 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 her appeared. 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 goal context, but they also should, you know, focus more on the humanity in situation and that many people should not be, should not be left alone a face. thank you. know their fate. while the british government has launched a new initiative to uphold the rights of news outlets to present their coverage to the public, it has lamentably excluded archie. an amendment is designed to guard against the betray or moving of articles from journalists, a traffic, nice news outlets. when shared on social media play on the view, the so called online safety bill seeks to ensure that social media platforms cannot delete news articles from their platforms without 1st notifying the publishers and giving them a chance to appeal. but the apparently well intentioned initiative does not uphold

equal standards for russian media. as it has bard, media outlets, r t, and clinic. more than a dozen rights organizations have petitioned in the u. k. government with an open letter saying the bill is unfeasible. they claim that the legislation would actually clamp down on people's rights to express their opinions on social networks . international editor of the morning, star newspaper, steve sweeney says, the bill would strengthen the government's power to decide to which media the public can access. this is of great concern, not just to turn this but to freedom and democracy. really. this is the bill that's being presented. the online safety bill is gives unprecedented powers to the states to determine what media people can access. the amendments don't really offer any safeguards. the i can say, so this is brady targeting an alternative alternative viewpoint. and of course, the situation in ukraine has made them kind of want to,

to focus on this so much more because at the moment in the british leader in particular, i'm the same in the united states. i know that there is only one that is being presented to the public and that number 2 is the 2nd. it was the purchase government as the united states government, as nato. this is incredible, by in any country that calls and calls itself a democracy to restrict the right to information in such a way. i think it is absolutely unprecedented on we should, we should do all that. we can to oppose it. and just before we go, the twitter by our jail could end in court. has the world's richest man that you on mosque has said, wants to scrap the potential protocol month, can notify the social networking company of his decision to call off the $44000000000.00 deal due to problems with this proving the prevalence of fake or spam accounts on the platform,

now twitter is expected to take the most support to try and force him to complete the transaction. you can read more about his story on our website. i mean this our, i will be back in 32 minutes with another full search. ah, look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people with a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with

a robot must protect its own existence with ah, the middle east conflict in the city and can't be under development in africa. a interestingly, none of these are being raised in the past 6 months. so it's not, it's not a problem

with just look up for literally a muscle around noon. she doesn't being in the green show on a nurse to me as possible. mama cook go to somebody tamika, but i put his ashley of this. he wanted to work with the cool position it. how can i put a chino grimes to network close to launch the right subsidy, a leak? i had that we got that. what did i say worth a 1000000 residence? yes. an old grain lisa. ah unit 731 did
