a week out at that point, there with grain meet that have them out in the stories that shape this week. at least 4 children were killed in ukraine . you know, it's hillary attacks on the internet to a public civilian casualties. most grieving families struggle to do the pain a fellow i with. 7 fascinated on the campaign trail, former japanese prime minister sion, so all of a died off the been shot by unload gunman and the party's over boys. johnson who says he's stepping down is british prime minister. that's off the. he failed to

impress bellow conservatives on the home front, despite drumming up military support, the ukraine. our country is facing immense challenges. i firmly believe that the public are ready to hear that truth with bringing you all the global news stories from the week that matters. this is our t international. thanks for joining us. i'm charlotte eager. well, 1st we'll start with the latest in the ukraine conflict to a key. ab says at least 15 people have died off to russia, fired rockets at a residential building in the next town that still undo ukrainian control. 30 people were reportedly trapped under the daybreak in the town of to soviet that's according to ukrainian media. 2 entrances to the building are also reported to have been destroyed. meanwhile, russia's defense ministry has said that it targeted military objects,

interests of yar strikes, reportedly hitting a hanger containing us weapons and around 30 ukrainian soldiers. russia says the troops have been shelling residential areas of done ask. now, meanwhile, ukrainian shelling continues on the capital city. all the nets, people's republic, according to local authorities, caps, forces have been using nature type heavy artillery to attack 6 residential areas. internet city, at least 3 people are reportedly injured. massive shelling started on saturday when at least 3 civilians were killed and 12 others injured. and early this week, several children died, falling shelling of residential areas in the deluxe republic by the ukrainian military, with one of the victims, a 10 year old girl lay to rest on thursday. i came off the caps onslaught in the capital city to next. a warning you may find the following images distressing pop

i. 7 the pictures that you seeing now show the aftermath of the attack with written tips, trying to come to terms with that loss. a large crater was left behind by the shells impact, as you can see here. nearby windows role so shattered the girls mother and grandfather described what happened when you lose group enrollment with a new? no. no, no, no, i'm with now another attack on wednesday left 3 children dead in the nearby city of mucky. yes.

local officials accused ukrainian military have deliberately shelling civilian neighborhoods. 2 of the deceased were just 7 years old. a 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 playing when heavy artillery rounds landed. officials in the next republic say the shelling was one of multiple attacks from ukraine. utilizing rocket launches and need to issue artillery. we've heard from an eye witness to that shelling. as you can imagine, emotions are running pretty high with you for that much reputed. immediately when i heard the explosion, i went to hide under my bed, little dora with them, and when everything 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 which goes with you. the girl was sitting up, she was still alive. and not much.

should the grill guard which dealership was grasping at the boy 14 buick dock. when i got out on to the street, it was good with the girl was lying there too. much of the ukrainian military shelling of the dentist republic 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 done that has borne the brunt of the onslaught, often being shelled relentlessly for around a month. meanwhile, in the neighboring against republic, which is now completely under the control of russian lead forces ortiz, senior correspondent, murat 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 full leafy chance, the sight of earth from endless 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, the earth itself, is he still smoldering touching this? this metal, for example, is like touching a hot kettle. 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 these 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 enforcers did

around this a chance. they were apparently spotted and, and struck. we've fired 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 a we'll find m 549 a one 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 is evidently the artillery sideway, where ukrainian troops stationed there, artillery. moreover, the n 795 shells, 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 fire, some of the shells laying here had been fitted with fuses for imminent use. the american houses here were undoubtedly damaged this close to impact craters, but whenever the less evacuated apparently, urgently by ukrainian troops they left behind everything else. so during our short search, we found that not only shelves, but huge amounts of propellant charges, us army thicket t v also a huge amount of power. the charges in these containers, these are full, full, again, vast awesome left behind by ukrainian troops as they retreated. rule 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 city of sc. we found

a network of trenches and fortifications which were also abandoned is another dug out. part of the, the trenches and dugouts dotted is far said areas over there was another one. we would go down as a high chance. it's highly likely that at least than what we've dug out there are surprises. mines 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 a 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 a father away, but he would have had to approach them 1st was a dangerous we didn't want to get involved with this one. no one knew what they could do towards the end, likely fear,

like lucy johnson. this area could have been defended for weeks. but again, ukrainian soldiers, a nationalist fighters, choose to flee. another side with morale among them is far from what it was. for i'd guess v of r t from the look guns, people's republic for my japanese prime minister sions. there was a died in hospital this week shortly after being short by a close range by a lone gunman during a campaign event of 41 year old suspect was arrested at the scene and is now under investigation. i the attack took place on friday in the japanese city of nora. people at the scene attempted to revive a before the paramedics arrived home of premier. it was then i left the hospital but said to have had no vital signs on arrival. despite that,

the dog destroyed the several hours to save his life, but say he bled to death from 3 deep wounds, including 2 in his neck nation. so abe's 9 year, as prime minister made him the longest serving prime in japan's history. he resigned in 2020 citing health issues, though, despite that he remained influential in the ruling liberal democratic party for which he was actually out promoting candidates ahead of parliamentary elections this weekend. former british diplomat, william melanson, says japanese society has been facing a deepening polarization. ah, it was not sufficiently naturalistic that 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. they're 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, somewhat 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 ality, nuclear, anti american, anti nato lobby on the one hand. and on the other hand, those of the more modern to tradition, like, for example, you have the moment japan, if you like, as the west of the east, you have societal intentions. 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. it's dangerous, but it could happen. ah, now of course in the u. k, the party's over for boris johnson, who's a nancy stepping down off to 3 years. this prime minister, his premier shape, has been marred by a series of scandals. all of which raised questions about his leadership. johnson agreed to quit off the extreme pressure came from fellow conservatives with several of his ministers resigning earlier this week. now, most recently, the outgoing prime, instead of found himself engulfed in controversy over alleged harassment by a government deputy chief whip. now, it was initially denied that the p. m. was aware of these allegations when he to pointed his ally to the role. however, it later emerged, johnson had actually been fully in the know this week scandal was just the latest involving u. k. government johnson's premier ship had been called into question previously

over the infamous party gate affair, in which he and his wife were find 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 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, which she soon acc, highlighted key disagreements with johnston's policies. our country is facing immense challenges. i firmly believe that the public are ready to hear that truth or people know that if something is too good to be true, then it's not true. they need to know that whilst there's 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. while some u. k. politicians have welcomed the end of johnson's reign. western officials on are speculating as to what impact this could have on the conflict over ukraine. london has, of course, been one of keeps key allies so far, and is all to contribute to rachel most and reports with problems mounting across the west. the finger of blame for perhaps all there was 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, or 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 joseph then had

a phone call with ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, who reportedly called johnson's support, special. bloomberg called 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 holes 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 justin

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 our own houses in such a mess. pollings 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 the focus all their energies on sticking it to russian president

fly recruiting. 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, a force heat, water, and light rationing. it's not fly recruiting who made bores johnson resign or cross . biden trudeau and mac holes 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. now we're a therapy is struggling with fuel shortages and rapidly escalating prices that been huge lines spotted at local gas stations across the week. some of the driver saying that they waited for analyst just to tough up the price of diesel increased by 38

percent off to authorities, cut government fuel subsidies, privacy, ethiopia, consumers. it only had to pay a quarter of the regular global rates for the fuel costs of things sky rocketing around the world as transport destructions and punitive sanctions are impacted. key supply chains is what some locals in ethiopia are saying about their government handling of the crisis. yes, i think it was a hasty decision. it is not taken poor people into consideration when transport providers increase prices, immersion, and turn increase the price of. therefore, we are the ones affected mother. i've been with you for at least 45 minutes. i think that you prices as a global problem, and i think it is related to the lack of stability globally. we'll in the standard supply chain disruption. most of the global oil was due to a lack of lisa goade. 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 will greatly benefit if there is peace between these 2 countries or elsewhere on the continent. there of course, nationwide protests in south africa with fuel prices searching to record high. i don't see the pool a clear explains new height comes while many locals are already struggling to make ends meet. the price of fuel has gone up again in south africa, climbing maybe 50 percent in the last year alone. johnson this week it broke a new record with many people choosing to work from home while truck drivers flocked main roads in protest and planned more strikes, motorists are getting increasingly more filled up with the constant types and blame the government for not regulating fuel prices. and that's putting more pressure on the economy. everything is expensive. we suffered

a close. everything is going on with the problem to all of us can do when in 2 weeks, almost one, those 100-1000 was that they had flies de la our president have to because this be somebody who would in need to speak to the direct people maybe they can make something they can reduce the petra. 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 on our bill. this is 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 waste economic sanctions on moscow have lived poor african countries literally having to pay the price south africa's neighbors, along with other african countries, had subsequently been rocked by protests. crisis in africa have been ignored. the, the crisis in the region, for example, is risk based. and in fact, been, as i've said in many parts of the continent, in fact, a report was released earlier this year. let's say that can of the most significant crisis in, in the world actually occurring in the africa and the a norm. and this is something that is very, very harmful to africa because the global community has taken its eyes off spaces

where autocrat and honda is really rec, can 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 the lack of a solution now leaves both the country and the region closer to crisis point policy r r t no rate. now choice says it's going to take a long mosque to court. that's after the world's richest man pulled out of a deal to buy the company accusing twitter of failing need to accurately report on its numbers of fake accounts. earlier a lawyer representing the billionaire said the social network had 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 unusable information. it may musk said that the deal to by the platform had been put on hold, as he urged twittered to prove its previous assertion that fewer than 5 percent of its user accounts were flake. musk says the actual figure may be much higher. now twitter privacy faced multiple calls to disclose the number of fake accounts. a few years ago, reports emerge that a senior employer at the company was also symbol tenuously serving in the british government military warfare information department. he was allegedly tasked with using social media to promote u. k. government interests to get a better understanding of why musk cooled off of twitter deal. we've been hearing more from journalists and columnist,

ne 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 in 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 kids. 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 the really top shape. their, their stocks are going down their, their revenue is dropping. essentially, people are getting tired of twitter because of their intestine centers here. the

only thing that seems to matter in the eyes of twitter sensors is who does it to who only when to designated enemies of the west that are getting singled out. whereas western governments, by and large, get away with that. so from us, don't forget to head over to all t dot com, where you can find out more information about the stories we've been bringing you. and of course, much, much more. ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs

with artificial intelligence, with 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 foundation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic, that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk with

me. hello, welcome to wells apart. historically, europe has been the center stage for humanities longest and bloodiest 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, much of this drive that we've missed was inflamed or fueled from the outside, but the east continues to gain strength and the west continues to flounder. can be asian tigers heaved themselves from becoming to territorial. and now a joint,

a professor of chinese studies at the age of hello, natalie university in delhi. this is great to see a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. sign off on the line. now let's start with something that is very close to home on my home. that is, and by that i mean the conflict ukraine soon is to enter a 6 month on the wrong before that, despite its remoteness, it has many implications for countries around the world. what would you say is its main effect on asia and specifically on the political and power dynamics within the continent. i can go full factor so we can learn from the conflict in the last 121 days. one is the leadership stringent rules and responsibilities. there is

a lot of title walking here by all the leaderships. the address lines are clear. however, they are suit of these. and the result of these hasn't become problematic in the past 6 months since february 24. the title walking is done by russia, ukraine, europe, united states, china, india. every other country is doing this title box number one. number 2 is the water preparation. and i'll be heard about the some of the russian general saying by march 5th to beverly lined up be all operations special operations. however, we are still looking at those, you know, military campaigns. there is a huge logistics.
