he says he's stepping down as british prime minister. that's all that he failed to impress pelican 50 on the home front, despite drumming up military support for ukraine. our country is facing immense challenges by firmly believe that the public are ready to hear that truth with 5 pm here in moscow bringing you a round up of the biggest stories of the week. this is asi international. thank you very much for joining us. some shots you can ski. now let's go 1st to the ukraine conflict to get the latest. there were key, ab says at least 15 people have died off the russia fired rockets at a residential building in it. the next town that still under ukrainian control. 30 people were reportedly trapped under the day bree in the town of jeff, in the town of chess of yar,

that's according to ukrainian media. 2 entrances to the building are also reported to have been destroyed. meanwhile rushes defense ministry has said that it's targeted military objects in check of yard strikes, reportedly hate a hanger containing us weapons and around 30 ukrainian soldiers. russia says the troops have been shelling residential areas of donnette sk now. meanwhile, ukrainian shelling continues in the capital city of the dynette peoples republic. according to local authorities, key apps forces have been using nato type heavy artillery to attack 6 residential areas in the next city. at least 3 people reportedly injured. massive shelling started on saturday when at least 3 civilians were killed and 12 others injured. now, early this week,

several children died following shelling of residential areas in that the next for public by the ukraine in military. one of the victims with only 10 years old and she was laid to rest on thursday of the caps onslaught of the capital city, the nets, and warning you may find the following images distressing that it was not all. 7 the picture show the aftermath of the attack with relatives trying to come to terms with their loss. a large crater was left behind by the shells impact nearby. windows will also show it the girls. her mother and grandfather described what happened. we will lose good as well and so we'll

go over what the seller will. yeah, let's do another another attack, a wednesday left 3 children dead in the nearby city of maki. you have cur, local efficiency accused ukrainian military of liberty shelling civilian neighborhoods to the deceased were just 7 years old. and the 3rd was a teenager. again, you may find the following images distressing. in this video, you can see the playground where the 27 year olds were when those heavy artillery rounds landed officials in the internet for public se, the shelling was one of multiple ukraine attacks. utilizing rocket launches and need to issue, or hillary. we've been hearing from eye witnesses to that shelling and as you can

imagine, emotions are running pretty high for those who should you put up with immediately when i heard the closure and i want to hide under my bed. but then when everything the calm down a little i went out on the balcony to look around. there were 2 children on the playground, a boy and a girl. you should see the girl was sitting up. she was still alive. not much. should doug doug was deal machine? my was grasping at the boy. pretty buick duck. when i got out onto the street, it was good. she was at which the girl was lying there too much ukrainian military shelling of the de nets were public has intensified in recent months. according to local authorities,

it's been reported that over $230.00 people, including at least 16 children, have been killed in the attack since february, the capital city dynette cars borne the brunt of that onslaught after being shout relentlessly for around a month. meanwhile, in the neighboring against republic, which is now completely under the control of russian lead forces, archie senior correspondent, maria garcia, has found an abundance, apparently of abandoned us supplied weapons left behind by ukrainian troops. as they fled the front lines of the battle, felicia chanced the sight of a tremendous explosion. just, just look around at the center was here and all the trees were knocked back by a blast. the i can't even imagine. and i know that this was very recent because it's like a sauna here, the view of itself is he still smoldering touching this?

these metal, for example, is like touching a hot capital. now this was apparently a ukrainian truck transporting american shelves. m 7777 shells. those are artillery that have been provided for care of. he is one of the shells that was scattered in this blast. there's nothing like this in the ukrainian arsenal or what ukraine inherited from the soviet union. but again, they were apparently hiding in the woods as many of their troops and forces did around las a chance. they were apparently spotted in and struck. we've found with assistance from the locals, and evidently, no one's been here yet. the russian troops haven't even found this place yet. this is while i will find m. 5491 rocket propelled shells for the m 777. how it is supplied by the

united states with a lot of pomp to the ukrainian military. now, these are improved and more expensive versions. they fly even farther over here. he's evidently the artillery sideway, where ukrainian troops stationed there, artillery. moreover, the m 795 shelves. these are regular not rocket propelled shells. this is all evidently dumped in a hurry. why? while he is the reason russian count a battery fired some of the shelves laying here had been fitted with fuses for imminent use. the american howitzers here were undoubtedly damaged this close to impact craters, but nevertheless evacuated, apparently urgently by ukrainian troops. they left behind everything else. so during our short search, we found not only shelves,

but huge amounts of propellant charges. us army thickets, e v, also a huge amount of how the charges in these containers. these are full, full, again of us, 1000 left behind by ukranian troops as they retreated, all of this flown in from the united states to supply the ukrainian military here between lisa chance quick ukrainian troops fled from and the city of san francisco. we found a network of trenches and fortifications which were also abandoned is another dug out, either via the trenches and dug out. doughty he's far said areas over there was another one. we won't go down is a high chance. it's highly likely that at least than one of the dugouts there are surprises. minds would trip was booby traps left behind. we'll leave this to

professionals. the locals in a small village of 2 dozen houses, want the place cleared as soon as possible. they've had enough of blasts and the glad to see the backs of ukrainian soldiers than they were positioned all over there. they kept firing. the windows in my house were shaking, and of course there was returned fire. did you ask them to move father away? we would have had to approach them 1st, was a dangerous, we didn't want to get involved with them. no one knew what they could do towards the end. likely fear likely see chance this area could have been defended for weeks . but again, ukrainian soldiers and naturalist fighters choose to flee another sign that morale among them is far from what it was more i'd gas v of r t from the la guns people's republic for my japanese prime minister sion. so aarp a died this week shortly after being shocked at close range by

a lone gunman during a campaign event. a 41 year old suspect was arrested at the scene and is now under investigation. the attack took place on friday in the japanese 50 of nora people at the scene attempted to revive our bay before the paramedics arrived, the former premier was then i left it to hospital, but was said to have no vital signs on arrival. despite that, the doctor's tried for several hours to save his life, but said he bled to death from 3 deep wounds, including 2 in his neck, shins. so, base 9 years as prime minister made him the longest serving prime in japan's history until i resigned citing health issues in 2020. but despite that, he remained influential in the ruling liberal democratic party for which he was

actually promoting candidates ahead of parliamentary elections. this weekend, former purchase diplomat, william mullins, since says japanese society has been facing a deepening polarization. ah, there was not sufficiently, naturalistic. there are 2 kinds, at least 2 kinds of japanese nationalists, the kind that want the americans in there too. we wouldn't like it are prepared to accept american nuclear weapons there to flex their own muscles against their traditional enemies, russia and china, on the one hand. but on the other hand, you have to remember you have the more extreme somewhere i tradition, where you must get all foreigners out and make it powerful. japan once will be worrying people. now, in this highly complex situation in the whole world, is, is japanese society,

political society. going to become polarized into the more left wing, anti nuclear, anti american, anti nato lobby on the one hand. and on the other hand, those of the more motor to tradition, like, for example, you have at the moment, japan, if you like, as the west of the east, you have societal tensions building up the defense spending has gone up. the possibility is that they will be hosting nuclear weapons. so these are enormous questions and i think to speculate now and say the japanese society is going to become more naturalistic, is dangerous, but it could happen now across in the u. k. the party certainly over a boris johnson, he's announced he's stepping down off this 3 years as prime minister. his primary ship has been marked by a series of scandals, all of which raise questions about his leadership. johnson agreed to quit off the

extreme pressure came from fellow conservatives with several of his ministers resigning earlier in the week. most recently, the outgoing premier found himself engulfed in a controversy over alleged harassment by a government deputy chief whip. though it was initially denied that the prime minister was aware of these allegations when he pointed his ally to that role. however, later emerged that johnson had actually been fully in the know, the 3 scandal was just the latest involving the u. k. government johnson's premise ship has been called into question over the infamous party gay to fire. he and his wife were fined by the police for hosting an unlawful social gathering at number 10 during a code it locked down. now, while the latest scandal is considered to be the straw that broke the camel's back and prompted the mass resignation of government officials,

rising inflation and worsting economy have also been described as being major factors in bringing johnson down the country's treasury chief was one of the 1st, government officials to resign this week on his way out, wishes to not highlighted key disagreements with the prime minister's policies. our country is facing immense challenges. i firmly believe that the public are ready to hear that truth are people know that if something is too good to be true, then it's not true. they need to know that whilst there is a path to a better future, it is not an easy one in preparation for our proposed joint speech on the economy next week. it has become clear to me that our approaches are fundamentally to different. now some u. k. politicians have welcome the end of johnson's rein. some with the officials now speculating what impact this could actually have on the conflict over in ukraine? london has been one of key abs, key allies so far, and authority contributor rachel moss reports with problems mounting across the

west. the finger of blame for all of the woes continues to be pointed at the kremlin. well, it's by, by boris johnson and in the wake of the british prime minister's resignation this week, over domestic scandals. some folks seem less concerned about what it means for britain and more worried about the impact of johnson's resignation on ukraine. maybe because in his resignation speech, johnson returned to the topic a let me say no to the people of ukraine that i know that we in the u. k. will continue to black, your fight for freedom, for as long as it takes johnson then had a phone call with ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, who reportedly called johnson's support, special bloomberg call johnson's resignation, a good day for vladimir putin, even though it was. well, let's face it,

his own government that seemed more relieved than any one else. that he was being shoved out the door of 10 down extreme. but they're not alone in their concern about the impact on the conflict in ukraine of domestic setbacks that are hitting the current crop of anti russian western leaders. and b. c news called french president a mandarin mac holds loss of an absolute majority in parliament. and the surge of mafia depends populist right national rally party into being the single largest opposition party, an outcome that may not be welcomed in washington as the west navigates russia's war and ukraine and its effects. joe biden and canadian prime minister just and trudeau are both suffering from higher levels of disapproval than approval as a result of their own domestic political failures. political points out the western

leaders treated the latest g 7 summit as a refuge from their generally dismal approval ratings. back home with their own houses in such a mess. poland prime minister is concerned about growing western indifference to the ukraine conflict. western communities must understand that this war is also about their security. i'm afraid that the coming months will bring more indifference and this is extremely dangerous. unfortunately, putin is also counting on it. sorry, but western leaders just can't keep allowing their domestic responsibilities and growing in popularity among their own populations. to take a back seat while they focus all their energies on sticking it to russian president vladimir putin. meanwhile, the cost of the conflict itself in ukraine for these leaders is continuing to grow . self imposed anti russian sanctions on you. european nation energy

supplies are now sparking talk in germany for example of force, heat, water and light rationing. it's not fly recruiting who made bores johnson resign or cross biden trudeau and michael's popularity to tank. it's their own shenanigans and misplaced priorities in the eyes of their own citizens. and the longer the conflict in ukraine persists, the more at risk, also being seen as yet another one in africa. if your peer is struggling with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating prices, change lines have been spotted at local gas stations this week with some of the drivers saying that they wait did for hours to top up. the price of diesel increased by 38 percent offer storage is cut government fuel subsidies. previously ethiopian consumers that only had to pay a quarter of the regular global rates for the fuel costs have been sky rocketing

around the world as transport disruptions and punitive sanctions. if impact the key supply chains, he's what some locals in ethiopia are saying about the government's handling of the crisis. because as a look, i think it was a hasty decisions. it is not taken poor people into consideration when transport providers increase prices, immersion, and turn increase the price of their good. therefore we are the ones affected, might've been in the queue for at least 45 minutes. i think the fuel crisis is a global problem. i think it is related to the lack of stability globally. we'll understand the supply chain disruption that most of the global oil was due to. a lack of piece of i don't think it's fair to blame the government. what are the lack of supply, like, you know, when i have learned that russia and ukraine contribute a lot to the world, and obviously that is why the cost of living and fuel prices have increased heavily due to the conflict between these 2 countries in an unprecedented way the world

were greatly benefit if there was peace between these 2 countries. now, elsewhere on the continent, the recalls the nationwide pro chess in south africa with fuel prices best searching to record highs and thought is pool. a slayer explains the new height comes while many locals are already struggling to make and mean the price of fuel has gone up again in south africa, climbing maybe 50 percent in the last year alone. just this week it broke a new record. so many people choosing to work from home while truck drivers flocked main roads in protest, and plant more strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more freed up with the constant hikes and blame the government for not regulating fuel prices. and that's putting more pressure on the economy. everything is expensive, we suffered that always close. everything is close on with the problem to all of us can do with this car into

a takes almost one of those the 1000. so 1000. so is that a very they had for us? we would be our president have to because this the somebody who was in need to speak to dad did the right people. maybe they can make sample, they can reduce the paper. it's really hurting my pocket a lot because i mean, i think from when i started driving 7 years ago, the, the price of petrol is doubled. and putting in 200 ran just for a day of hardly driving anyways. it's got horrible. there's, there's a lot of rates and taxes, but i think it's a bit overkill at the moment. i think that they can be a better solution that the government says it's hands are tied because south africa depends on international markets for its fuel supplies, with between 70 and 80 percent of local fuel coming from foreign import. since february, when russia and ukraine went to war,

international oil prices have risen dramatically. russia is the world's 3rd largest producer of crude oil. the width, economic sanctions on moscow have lived poor african countries, literally having to pay the price south africa. the neighbors, along with other african countries, have subsequently been rocked by protests. let us this is in africa, have been ignored. they've, the crisis in the saw him in, for example, is risk of starvation and famine. as i've said in many parts of the continent. in fact, a report was released earlier this year. that said, that can of the most significant crisis is in the world actually occurring in the africa and they ignored. and this is something that is very, very harmful to africa because the global community has taken its eyes off spaces where autocrats and honda is really rec, and have all on the continent for the high. so i'll expect next month when the portfolio government says it will end

a temporary fuel subsidy program because it can no longer afford it. the result is cash strapped to consumers being pushed to crisis point, many of whom already cannot afford the more than 50 percent increase in food products and they're threatening to take to the st. the lack of a solution. now leave both the country and the region closer to quite a point policy, our teeth no space. no choices says it's going to take a long musk to cool that soft of the world's richest man pulled back with deal to buy the company. accusing twitter of failing to accurately report on its number of fake accounts. earlier, a lawyer representing the billionaire that the social network has breached multiple provisions. sometimes twitter has ignored mister masks requests, sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to be unjustified. and

sometimes it has claimed to comply while giving mister musk incomplete or usable information. now in may musk said that the deal to buy the platform had been put on hold, as he urged twitter to prove its previous application. that few of them 5 percent of the user accounts were fakes. musk says the actual figure might be much higher. now twitter previously faced multiple calls to disclose the number of its fake accounts. a few years ago, reports emerge that the senior employee at the company was also sim, stay yesterday serving in the british military's information where we'll fire department. he was a lead to the tasks with using social media. if u. k. government interests to get a better understanding of why musk perhaps cooled off the twitter deal. we heard from june, list and columnist need boucher mulch a seem like this is an attempt to look at the art of the deal and having having him

re negotiate a better price because twitter stocks have actually crashed since his announcement that he would be taking over there's definitely something there at twitter has sort of more into this narrative shaping weapon and for a government or coalition of governments that essentially live in this manufactured could, you know, consent law, land it's, it's the perfect way to shape this fake reality. and it stands to reason that they would be putting the premium on twitter to do so, which is why they've been so upset when musk said he intended to buy it. they don't actually want mass controlling the company, but they don't have much choice in terms of finances because they're in really top shape. their, their stocks are going down their, their revenue is dropping. essentially, people are getting tired of twitter because their incessant centers are the only thing that seems to matter in the eyes of twitter sensors is who does it to who

it's only when to designated enemies of the west that are getting singled out. whereas western governments by and large, get away with it. and congratulations to lenary bucky now who is one catholic stones 1st grand slam tennis trophy that's despite pressure from western media and full plays, who didn't like the fact that she was born in russia. the 23 year old by keno was born in moscow and represented russia until 2018. but then she switched agencies to context on sheep. it. news in ownership in the wimbledon women single final a tournament russian plays are present, be banned from well, that brings you up to date with the week that was i do hope you can join us again with

i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people, 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 our professional intelligence. the point obviously, is to rate trust rather than fear. i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even

foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with the welcome to well to part. historically, europe has been the center stage for humanities longest and bloody wars. and judging by the recent events in and around your brain that evolve may not be fully

over asia. on the other hand, despite its enormous diversity, has been relatively few. ras with conflicts to try to witness the was inflamed or fuel from the outside. but it continues to gain is trent and the west continues to flounder. can the asian tigers keep themselves from becoming to territorial folk that it says that i'm now joined by 3. comes from the poly professor of chinese study at the job. hello, natalie university. in new delhi, this is great to see a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for the invite . so let's start with something that is very close to home. my home that is by that i mean the conflict your brain is to enter. it's 6 months. you roll before that despite it's remoteness, it has many implications for countries around the world. what would you say is its main effect on asia.
