plus this here is it would be really nasty thing. this is called a new all over our correspondence explores a one sim, battled oil refinery in the city of leafy chance, where he discovers schools, the band musicians and munitions electrically planted sign ukrainian troops before they flag and china's you on gains ground only us stall as a new survey shows 85 percent low central bank, sorry about the hold point tend to hold the chinese national. come with coming to live from us. did you, harry, moscow? this is all the international. thanks for joining us. big now. i'm sure you are now

a political meeting with political party leaders. oh no, right please. we're using tick, asked as you can see from these pitches against the demonstrators, a made clashes across the capitol. at least $42.00 people are said to have been injured, including at least 2 security offices. a curfew has been imposed on columbus since friday, but was later lifted due to the demands of opposition leaders. a local journalist, ascentis this report from the heart of the turmoil them also the completion of the good month that the struggle started here. and so i've got to get rid of the pool and then leadership as on other than a big plan of family. and i've got a girl for the city,

the landing area that people have to go see behind me, wanted to take a look at this and a struggle. and that would be, yeah, that it out today by almost uncommon to collaborate with onto the government led by the prime minister, the go to the photos. i already got a dog with people,

with national and care has been reeling for months of violent protests over what's been called an economic disaster. the country is essentially bankrupt and has defaulted on its foreign debts for the 1st time in its history, has been soaring, inflation and acute shortages which have prompted the government to ration few and other supplies. a foreign policy expert at the observer research foundation. think tank told us that the crisis in shall anchor, has put the entire region security at stake that you cannot mix australian has reached

a stage where the frustration with the government administration has just spilled over to the streets. they think there was a certain level of economic mismanagement, misuse of the foreign money that they were getting. so right now it's very, very desperate. it is important that sri lanka does not slip into gears and the measures of the political class to stabilize it. i ought to rugby phone, whether it's an old body government, or whether it is some other arrangement. ah, it is important that he osby overton, if there is chaos, it will definitely impact security in the region. 6 meanwhile, in east africa, the directional mich situation is also provoked. unrest there hundreds of canyons taking to the streets and protesting rapidly rising cost. so for living, many saying they're struggling to put food on the table. now the government has

blamed the crisis on the conflict in ukraine some 8000 kilometers away, saying that it's fick affected prices all around the world. now costs have been surging with the price of basic food stuff, such as flowers, sugar, and cooking oil all doubling in recent weeks. protesters of blame the government for the economic hardships, thousands gathering in front of the president's administrative building to express outrage. some claim the government has been treating them like slaves. oh, i don't want to meet my legs. no, not what to do. another fun children are starving to death. and honestly, we are suffering simply because we cannot afford even a pack of corn flower. even the most common fish produced in kenya is now too expensive, but it does force,

does members of the community to come out of our houses and 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, driven for poor report foot on, on the table. we want to ask the government that they must now come forth on douglas, this issue. ah, well, let's head now to the front lanes of the ukraine conflict where the nets cathartic . have said that ukraine in shelling of residential areas in the republic on friday, killed at least 3 civilians that included one incident in the city of god. lapka with a local man has released images of the attacks off to my residential buildings on public infrastructure reported to have common to fire wounding at least 11 people, including 3 children,

the capital city. dynette was also targeted with 2 women reportedly killed in the shelling. now in recent days, a total of 7 civilians have been declared killed following ukrainian military attacks. now next that sketch reports law senior correspondent, she's been visiting an oil refinery in the once dim battle city of lisa chance in the new accounts for public. the city is now under the control of russian lead forces. exploring the facility, the senior correspondent and the ot see crew came across an abundance of apparently prohibited land mines that kiev had found to dismantle, in accordance with international treaties. ortiz moore had cast half reports. ah, the don bass is a beautiful land, hooker, greed, and verdant. but it bows 5 wide violent mangles the horizon

here that violence is centered around the lease. he chanced oil refinery reaching here was neither schafer nor easy. this is a vast industrial zune surrounded by open terrain of firing range for artillery. industrial complex itself, though, is incredibly similar. commer, you bulls, infamous as of steel, plant warren have buildings toddles and defenses. just as they did in mario bull here at the least chance, or refinery. if radian tubes here, the nationalists, they, they built a real fort, were covered with foreign positions. they left here as they did variable 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. a police chance cooler finally remains very tense. ukrainian har tillery, i'm multiple rocket launcher systems grad. we're gonna keep pouring out the wall refinery in a 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 and 15 minutes and there will be an impact who 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, i leave my law lipa stalk in russian because obviously the size and shape of it in the color are reminiscent. have i 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. spreading these all over the place via oregon rockets, cosette markets, which open up and drop hundreds soldiers, he a shed a video with us showing what would happen if you set one off or is what it looks like. a

piece. there is a container in this section of mine which is, which is thicker. if pressed, the to burst and the destination happens. it is possible to disarm as if you pick it up very ever so gently, ah, ever so gently, by this part, the thin pot. and unscrew veteran these shouldn't even be here. ukraine had signed and ratified the auto mind band convention. these mines were explicitly band. it assured the international community that it had the shrewd it stopped paul's. what's worse, these are old soviet make and lag the vital self destruct mechanism. the triggers after 3 or 4 days, these could potentially stick around foot decades,

ballistic chance. all refinery is thou relatively far from the front lines. the thunder and roar of bloss here is slowly waning, but what happened here? the blind mining of dozens of square kilometres of industrial property of farms and fields will haunt this place and the local population for years. more against the of r t, from the la guns people's republic. no central banks around the world are becoming increasingly keen to hold chinese, you on as a reserve currency that's according to the latest survey by the swiss economic powerhouse u. b. s. now countries have been seeking to shift their currencies from the dollar in order to be less exposed to the u. s. dominance over the globe and financial system ortiz. rachel blevins explains more 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 right. 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 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 u. s. 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 20. 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 i'm using this together with bricks partners. we are developing reliable alternative mechanisms for international settlements. we are exploring the possibility of creating an international reserve currency based on a basket of bricks, 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 for an organization from 12 countries this all comes as china confirms that 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 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 is 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 vents 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 you go even with in 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 i don't 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 pag to the us dollar once the saudis do

that? i think we, we want to want, what look at that as a kind of step function in the, the rate of $2.00 asian, we're going to move into a different regime in terms of globalization, of other currencies. china is dominant since, so a panel production is a power if the right to the west screen agenda that's at least according to a new report from the paris based international energy agency, which was western countries to rapidly increase the share of the industry. now china produces more than 80 percent of the world's poorly silicone. it's used for solar panels at a fraction of the cost of western competitors. but the international energy agency has caution that the e. u in us shouldn't depend on those supplies and shouldn't said boost their own manufacturing,

particularly if the wants to reach it 0 emission go within the next 3 decades. it's also called on the us to could drupal 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. now as the world struggles with a severe energy quiet is due to a disruption in supply chains, the thought of china controlling it, developing energy sources, raising west and fears. but whereas the, you previously accused beijing of ignoring its green agenda, it's goal of reaching 0 emissions by 2050. could now rely entirely

own china independent experts under long says china's role in the global move to green energy is falling to time is the worst because manufacturer and the biggest trader, and $130.00 countries of china is the largest compare. ready only for the 740 united states to try to embed it in, well, the line very change, especially, or the energy of the green energy. i mean, the sort of a panel, all, all the, most of the walls matter factory sorta, panel designer. together with the special mechanism mil rules are all in china. so i think that this is the reality. and then the irony is that in the united states there was a cam saying that i still don't have the the recipe of climate change. and best of interest protect. ready oil and also bills and most of

all the don't have the infrastructure, so the more affordable solar panels a world. but in this age group all power, great power arriving between charter united states and china and honestly keeps all this campaign or even i tried the alternative for jeremy. one of the country's leading opposition parties has slammed a statement by a government minister. he says that any member of the right wing party should be banned from owning a firearm. a f. d criticizes abuse of weapons, law minister of the interior marriage using the weapons law as a substitute. criminal law against law abiding hunters and sport shooters in the. now the party, kearney holds $81.00 seats, fin the german parliament and 9 seats. in the european parliament,

a gen court is labeled to party a suspected threat to democracy, enabling federal authority to it stops on its representatives. the alternative, jeremy, which is known for its proper lowest and conservative agenda, opposes mass migration into the country. the party is also condemned west and sanctions against russia, and has cooled on berlin to improve its relations with moscow. now the countries interior minister says the member of the f, the party, all the most targeted political group in germany, according to a report from february, at least 660 violent attacks against the policies members recorded in the previous 12 months while with joint lives now by gary old alton, who's in a f t party member, thanks very much for joining us. how in the program i have some the parties been in this surveillance since march as

a result of that court ruling. why is there so much focus on be a f t i think we just have a, a bit of problems listening to the gas recall quite hey there, mr. austin. i don't if you want to just try your microphone again. no. i'm really sorry. we, we're struggling to hear you. we will try and come back to later and speak to that with garrett austin. we'll try and come back to him on that story about the fee for the moment though, the u. k. government has launched a new initiative to uphold the rights of media outlets to present that coverage to the public. however, he is not on the list. an amendment is designed to guard against the betray or moving of articles from journalists and traffic. nice news outlets when shared on

social media platforms. now the so called online safety bel fix to ensure that social media platforms can't delete news articles from their platforms without 1st notifying the publishers and giving the chance to appeal. however, the initiative doesn't told up hold leave equal standards for russian media with web outlet such as r t don't call man's book trick being our white band in the u. k. the british government's new bill isn't feasible. that's according to a petition of more than a dozen rights organizations. they say the legislation would actually clump down people's whites to express their opinions on social networks. international editor of the morning star newspapers, steve sweeney says the bill would strengthen the government's power to decide which media the public can access. this is of great concern, not just to join 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 lady targeting an alternative alternative viewpoint. and of course, the situation in ukraine has made them kind of want to focus on this so much more because at the moment in the media, in particular, and the same in the united states. so there is only one that is being presented to the public and that number 2 is the same as it was the government as the united states government, as nato. this is incredible, by in any country that called and called itself democracy to restrict the right to information in such a way. i think it is absolutely precedent to them. we should,

we should, we should do all that. we can to oppose it. let's go back to that previous story now about the alternative for germany, which is been and the attack once more. now we've had a statement by a government minister saying that any members of the right and party should be banned from owning a firearm. and with joint live now by jared austin, who's in a f, the party members hangs, getting we'll try again. can you hear so well? yeah, i can understand the parties being in the surveillance since march as a result of that court ruling. why, why do you think there's been this focus on your party? they asked a because of your threat to, to the, the rest of the political audience to sit predicted system, the gen, cuz we are putting our finance in position as well. but they don't want to talk to the for them, the migration is a big issue,

but also on financial questions. germany is position that within the e u. so this is everything where we put the question and we have a question mark about so much of the money transfer from, from germany to other nations and certain things and we don't to under the line. so that's why they re actually hate up. i would say to predict this proposal to strip the membership of the firearms was perhaps to be expected given the way we see the party has been attacked. and under this surveillance, this is basically heading at the heart of our membership, basically in our party. because we have a lot of loyal public workers here, which of course have the right to bear arms because they are unders or marksman smartshoot it. and so they want to put some insecurity in tardy that, that they,

for these people to lease upon. this is actually the, the target, the main target, what they want, they want to destroy the pot. and i'm i correct and saying that this isn't the 1st time that if the members have been stripped of gun licenses in germany, i was reading about the federal state. if the 13 year, if that was the case, was there a legitimate reason for that happening that and no, i don't see that because there's a, they argue that the, the suspend is because of the surveillance in terinio or fi fi. and they had also some, some issues in other states in germany, for example, some bavaria. but it's only only single cases, but the, every member of the party is now under surveillance and stately the restricted to bear arms. and this is to compute new quality, which so who do you hold responsible for their so be the court said that you post

made serious threat to democracy and decades. is why they targeting the cfc. now you see, you must see the, the political system in germany has completely shifted to the left, which was the last 2025 years started with, with the actual transfer and was not stopped by bartonville america. and then we actually have really good positions like the christian democratic. i see you are christian children that you had some 20 years ago, but you can see the old system is talk to the left. now in germany, if we see the right ring product, but actually we're, we're a center right party and but you know, we just left parties, they have everything with the right. and they use always the argument and say on every one is read write off of us. this is the fisher body and didn't completely unsure your complete democratic party. we are in all the federal government
