colombo on saturday. and then of course, storming both the protest is one of the country's leadership to resign because the prime minister already has over the failure to curb the country's worst economic crisis in decades. according to this speak of the countries parliament, the president is also agreed to step down. but next week, although there's been no official statement, as of yet, many of the demonstrators who stormed the residents were pitching, making them pretty, which selves at home in his home. so i'm taking a deep in the presence pool and others relaxing on his beds and safer riot police, though, used to gas against the demonstrators that made flashes across the capitol. at least 55 people have said to have been injured in treating one more maker. a curfew was imposed in columbia on friday, but was late elected due to the demands of opposition. lead is a local journalist test centers. this report from the heart of the turmoil today

marks the completion of the good month that the stock goes started here. and so i've got to get food off the tool and the leadership. i've done other than a plan family and either in the center of the city, the landing area where people have to go see behind me modern boards. i discovered that would be yeah, that he don't today, by you so much as much as i so much of people with

often the government led by the prime minister to like go to do the photos. i already got a dog with people with shall anchor has been reeling from months of violent protests. so, but what many see is being an economic disaster. the countries 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 been prompted by the government to then rational fuel and other supplies

. strategic affairs expert arist vaskins says the economic crisis could lead to a global domino effect with shall anchor in the 1st in line. there might be challenger said the dang bad. wonderfully. not just the don't if we could be, but you in the country. how did john, for example, be looking because he's having your own issues with that are showing supply of. gotcha. so addition you have a renewal for on that are still happening. so sheila, guys, definitely the 1st phase of how things can go wrong. if the government elected the law who's not directive, aren't these not able to get a aspirations as a teacher, she was or has reached their point of motor done going ahead no to easter for care whether it's a pretty dia, economic situation, also unfolding back that provoked massive unrest, 2 hundreds of canyons have taken to the streets in protest at rapidly wising costs

of living with many saying that they just increasingly struggling to put food on the table. the government is playing the crisis on the conflict in ukraine. 8000 kilometers away saying that it's effective prices all around the world. i could have been surging with the price of basically stuff such as flowers, sugar, and cooking, or doubling in recently. protesters of blame the government for their economic hardships with crowns gathering, as you can see in these pitches, in front of the presidents, administrative building to express outrage. unclaimed government has been treating them like slaves. i mean, we don't want to not do what to do on up of and 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. but it does force, does member of the community to come out of our houses and to 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 foot port report foot on the table. we want to ask the government that they must now come forth and address this issue. ah, let's head now to the front lines of the ukraine conflict, where the nets, catharsis said that ukrainian shelling of residential areas in the republic on friday killed at least 3 civilians. that included one incident in the city of god, lapka, where the local mer released images of the aftermath of the attacks. residential buildings and public infrastructure are reported to have come and to fire wounding

at least 11 people, including 3 children, the capital city. donetta was also targeted with 2 women reported he killed in the shelling. in recent days, a total of 7 civilians have been declared k at dead following ukrainian military attacks. now next we have a report last senior correspondent, he's been visiting an oil refinery in the once in battle. city of lacy chanced in the lou counts for public. the city is now under the control of russian at forces. exploring the facility, the archie crew came across an abundance of apparently prohibited land mines that kiev had found to dismantle, in accordance with international treaties. ortiz more at casting f reports. ah, the dawn bass is a beautiful land, poco, greed, and verdant. but it burns far 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 mario pl here at the least the 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 lucy chance cooler finally remains. very tense. ukrainian har tillery multiple rocket launcher systems, grab graham key, pouring out the wall refinery in a beat to sloop the russian advance in the area. the plant itself is enormous, but you can literally just point the camera and 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 terms. co watch are every step. now these 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 is what it looks like. a

piece is a container in this section of mine which is, which is thicker. if pressed the to birth and the destination happens. it is possible to disarm it. if you pick it up very everson gently, ah, ever so gently, by this part, the thin pot and unscrew with destiny. these shouldn't even be here. ukraine had signed and ratified the auto mind band convention. these mines were explicitly band it, it assured 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. the triggers after 3 or 4 days, these could potentially stick around for decades. the niecy chance all refinery

is now relatively far from the front lines. the thunder and roar of blasts here is slowly 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 presidency, lensky sank care of his ambassador to germany, along with 4 other top for an envoys. ambassador andre melnick has found himself in hot water several times. that includes insulting german chance that olaf schultz and most recently praising ukrainian nazi collaborator, stephan band. darrow, who's blamed for the deaths of thousands of poles and jews, acting like an offended liver, which doesn't sound very statesman like y'all, but not only to me,

but to many ukrainian stubborn mendera embodied some one who fights for freedom and ukrainian independence for fighters for freedom such as him, there are no written laws. central banks are around the world are becoming increasingly keen to hold on to chinese un as the reserve currency. as, according to the latest survey, by the swiss economic powerhouse you be ass, countries have been seeking to shift their currencies from the doorway in order to be perhaps less exposed to the u. s. dominance of the global financial system ortiz . 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 the sanctions 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 analyst 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 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 useless, but together with bricks partners, we are developing reliable alternative mechanisms before and not settlements. we are exploring the possibility of creating an international reserve according to the

are based on a packet of target 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 theresa 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, mid 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 dominants 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 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 washington dc. i've been identifying, i would, i think, is a sincere split between the federal reserve and 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 realize that having the world's reserve currency is a burden. we can no longer afford to have and lar, courage in this kind of de dollarization. the big question now is, when will saudi arabia break their currency pag to the us all at once? the saudis do that. i think we, we want to want one 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 about occurrences,

muslims all over the world commemorating the 1st day of one of the biggest holidays of lam, a calendar. it's e, l ha. in east jerusalem, some a 150000 worshippers performed a prayer at jerusalem's alex most compound. israel's military hut said some restrictions and travel would be loosened during the holiday. however, there are reports that police set up dozens of road blocks and conducted searches, preventing many palestinians from reaching the holy site. meanwhile, in saudi arabia, around a 1000000 pilgrims travel to their holy sight of mecca. saudi authorities are calling the largest pilgrimage since the covey 19 pandemic. up ended the event in afghanistan. hundreds, also put into mosques to pray. china is dominant seen solar panel production is the threat to the west screen agenda that's at least

2 according to a new report. from the parish based international energy agency, it once western countries to rapidly increase fast share of industry. china produce is more than 80 percent of the world's poli, silicone which is used for solar panels. a fraction of the cost of western competitive. but the international energy agency has cautioned that the e u and u. s. shouldn't depend on those supplies and should instead boost their own manufacturing cape passes. he particularly if the wants to reach it 0 emission go within the next 3 decades. it's also called on the u. s. to quadruplets 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 well struggles with the severe energy crisis due to a disruption in supply chains. the thought perhaps of china controlling a developing energy source could be raising west and fears. but whereas the e u has previously accused beijing of ignoring its green agenda. it's gola preaching, 0 emissions by 2050. could actually now rely entirely on china independent expert. andrew long says china's role in the global move to green energy is vital as the walls, thicker manufacturer and the biggest trader. and $130.00 countries of china is the largest partner. compare only for the 740 united states to try to embed it in, well, the line very change, especially on energy, all the green energy, i mean,

the solar panel, for example, all the most of the world's manufactory sorta, panel designer, together with 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 the the recipe of climate change and best of interest. ready protective oil and, and, and also bills and most of all the don't have the infrastructure. so the more affordable solar panels a to the world. but in this age. busy group all power, great power arriving between charter united states and china and honestly skips all this campaign or even china government is

launched a new initiative to uphold the rights of media outlets to present their coverage to the public. however, he is not on that list. an amendment is designed to guard against the betray removal of articles from journalists and traffic. nice news outlets when shared on social media platforms and so called online safety bills, 6 to ensure that social media platforms, comp, delete news articles from those platforms without 1st notifying the publishes and keeping them a chance to appeal. however, the initiative doesn't oppose equal standards for russian media outlets with such web news, such as off he don't comments, but like being outright banned in the u. k. now, the british government's new bill isn't feasible. that's at least according to a petition for more than a dozen rights organizations. they say the legislation would actually clump 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 actually decide which media is at the public can access. this is a 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 see. so this is really targeting an alternative or alternative viewpoint. and of course, the situation in ukraine has made them kind of want to, to focus on so much more because at the moment in the british media, in particular, and the same in the united states, i know that there is only one narrative that is being presented to the public, and that narrative is the same narrative. it was the british government as the

united states government, as nato. this is incredible by any country that calls and calls itself a democracy to restrict the you know, the right to information in such a way. i think is, is absolutely an unprecedented own. we should, we should, we should do all that. we can to oppose it. that's a global news update. don't forget though, that you can head over to r t dot com for more on all of the stories. thank you. again, for joining us with ah, with

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time, time to sit down and talk ah,

the middle east conflict in the city and conflict under development in africa or in south america and asia. interestingly, none of these are being raised in the past 6 months, a conflict in ukraine. so that is more of a problem with a mouse another. well you while you easy while friendly oh yeah. do you like yes,

south. yeah. thrashing south with carson. it's an ocean. done the for me that a bull up right now is the media full of video from sure. let me just kim's room. sure thought video. a. yes my thought was an indian again to your dues fortune. pity up my bill at about this morning. just financial
