that i was on the ball, nobody's says to submit. i allude you what i see the senior boss who's though ruth, you motivation says due to a gun, bob. ah, russian lead force is reportedly returned fire at ukrainian army positions in the daniel republic as kias forces are accused of relentlessly shelling residential areas also ahead. yet another forward position where americans and 777 houses we're based here. you have a number of shells. these are how to judge tad, this is all buttoned by almost direct impact on examines abandoned ukrainian army positions on former done by the front lines of kias forces, retreat west worth with germany,

braces for an even more severe gas shortage. as russia says, it must turn off the north stream pipeline for maintenance. that's despite canada, finally deciding to deliver a vital turbine for the route previously hung up because of western sanctions. and the us continues its usual narrative, blaming russia for all the world's crisis. that includes the sri lanka, risk by economic turmoil. the washington says is a result of the conflict in ukraine. 6000 kilometers away with broadcasting live director studios in moscow. this is our t international and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. we start with the latest in the warren ukraine, from don backs as russian lead forces have reportedly returned fire at the ukrainian army following relentless shelling of residential areas in the don. yet republic by caves, forces ah,

these recent videos from eye witnesses purport to show artillery garages, being unleashed on ukrainian military positions near the city of got all of them. meanwhile, in the neighboring lu, gone square public local air defense forces have reportedly shot down an incoming ukrainian ballistic missile. that's as deputy prime minister of ukraine. it enough that a shock has said the military will launch an attack on southern parts of their own country in an effort to expel russian forces. she has one civilians, bear to urgently flee their homes and evacuate to other regions under case control . russian forces have been accusing the ukrainian military of deploying heavy artillery within residential areas to use the civilian population as human shields . that's as ukrainian it forces have also been reportedly unleashing relentless, artillery fire on civilian neighborhoods. in done yes, at least 3 people were reportedly injured in such attacks. on sunday alone, several residential buildings were damaged in the latest barrage, including this one completely gutted by fire r t. air b correspondent,

us master reports from the scene you thought through ukrainian forces are once again bombarding the neighborhoods have done as city and its surroundings with a large number of rockets and shells. several of those shells hit this apartment building. following the attack, 1st responders from the emergency ministry weighed out for some time, knowing well that the ukrainian forces will hit the same place again as they usually do. give us pretty low the will. there were 19 shells. i counted 019 of them while i was sheltering in the basement, they kept falling every 3 minutes. apparently they kept reloading and then firing again when we got through it somehow with some others who are not so lucky. the other has got hit it so hard to guess where the shells will fall and explode next. ukraine's defense minister at lexi resident coff has said the country's military has been suffering heavy losses as he asks western countries to provide more weapons. he says here is raising a 1000000 men army to launch and offensive into southern parts of ukraine that are

allegedly de facto controlled by russia. meanwhile, russian lead forces have continued to make advances in don bass to take the remaining parts of the done yet republic. she's what i got, you have reports from the front line quite when we came here. listen. so quite any more and artillery jewel between russian forces and ukrainian forces where quote bags. but in the me here shows the shells whizzing us and explosion. the other side. and then return for good thing where nice these ukranian trenches bonkers and these are bunkers. the full sense. again, not much of a puzzle. here. ukranian troops abandoned their uniforms belonging scattered all over the place, but this is very far from the front blood. nevertheless,

cranium from the front lines when the complex began. nevertheless, you couldn't some build. these feel reinforced concrete bunkers, one over the place, huge doors inside areas where they slept. great in t shirts and limbs. these stretch of the front lines from the city of san francisco bar. moot, is arguably the most violent of the conflict. the thunder of artillery only ceases when the guns are destroyed. yet another foreign position where american em 777 houses we're based here. you have a number of shells, these are powdered judge canisters all burned by almost direct impacts. you have a number of craters here, multiple rocket launch,

a system can touch it by the look of them. but we have in direct evidence that at least one cannon was destroyed, these are the was from the ties. you can see the burn marks here and here. and this is a, this is where the back part of the canon as it far this is where it dug into the earth. ah, he, you have the, the trenches down by the supports and nevertheless, despite the fact that it was the short the ukrainians. somehow, dow, this out of here again perhaps to prevent russian forces and allied forces from capturing those in what would undoubtedly, undoubtedly have been a p our victory. this is the 2nd time in a span of a week that we have found, destroyed, artillery positions where american houses was stationed everywhere,

ha shelves and powder charge canisters shipped from us arsenals and abandoned by ukrainian troops. but that isn't all. in one bunker, we found a fool memory cod with a number of videos recorded by ukrainian troops and left behind to be found if something were to happen to them. global civil simple bonaparte. when i got into position the 1st time that was shooting, it was complete shock to me. so shocking that i didn't know what to do, where to hide. nobody knew anything, nobody reported to anybody. nobody said anything. the hence was so irresponsible. nobody reported anything to anyone. i only heard about the dead, the wounded from the neighbors walkie talkies. why? i don't understand that angle. there are hundreds of similar videos that have been

posted on line and they're often the same. the sad story of demoralized conscripts and drafted soldiers sent without any training into a brutal fight. the fates of these men are known as are the fates of thousands. upon thousands of soldiers, conscripts and foreign mercenaries whom ukraine has written off as missing in action. and in their stead, he has thrown others into the grinder. untrained and unwilling pharmacy teaches drivers, musicians, and programmers who are more and more aware that they are being used as cannon fodder. where i'd gas do you have, see from the la guns people's republic an initial group of ukrainian troops has arrived to the u. k for special military training beginning a program whereby about 10000 kids forces will be instructed by british officers on

how to fight russia on the battlefield. many of the ukrainian troops are to undergo training have previously never even fired a gun. but i supposed to become combat ready within the 4 months the british military program covers basic training, including the handling of weapons, 1st aid on the battlefield and tactics for patrols while they are directly providing military aid. british officials to have repeatedly said that they have no intentions of escalating the conflict or becoming directly involved. we don't want the the crisis to escalate beyond ukraine's borders. we are not in the verse of me doing something which escalates this war, not involving ourselves directly in the fighting. and i think that is absolutely rhinestones. london has provided more than 2000000000 pounds worth of military a to to ukraine since the conflict ruptured 5 months. ago the assistance has included several 1000 handheld anti take weapons known as in laws,

as well as devastating multiple launch rockets systems. now the funding has been allocated from britain's defense budget. we heard from a journalist, martin jane, who says the u. k. has been coming closer to direct involvement in the conflicts. britain is more and more about the war. i don't know how much longer this notion that is for it's a proxy war and we're not really involved anymore. their personal news now trained the soldiers, and i think that's even one more step closer to a situation where we can say person on the worst is a war with russia. and i think come, what we will see as we approach winter, we will see slow but sure, discontentment, british people towards the war, new trade, people will start social media to us more and more difficult questions so far, but why britain is involved,

why is taking this active lead and once organ and military personnel and sri lanka have been deployed outside the prime minister's residence, submitted a wave of mass riots. that's as thousands of protesters stormed the homes of both the premier and the president. demonstrators have continued to occupy those residences, accusing the government of mismanaging the economy and being responsible for severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. in the recent month, the protesters say that they will remain at those locations until the leaders resign. the speaker of parliament have said that the president would step down on wednesday with the latest details here. local journalists do sean voss. honestly, the division is not so certain and the bar because stability as gone. so have 5, even a couple of ministers were recently pointed, have tended designated, so it's going to new could be unstable. wanted to go to division and unstable economic situation as we speak, go on to a new president. hopefully,

the speaker taking on the duties as the active president and leaving the v or the fall major off and all party government, which will be most probably take place after the 13th of this month. so the people are going to need to see people are rominger, albia, positive house. we've only got all the input brings the beauty of each residents of the prior. but it's the, at the same day, so much of other special government residents as are being robbed by the protest. does fingers crossed for a better tomorrow? theories for lunk up because john was reported to you from i'm both for here is a timeline of how the leaders residents were stormed and how it all went down. ah

ah ah ah ah ah, us secretary of state entity blinking has resorted to washington's usual narrative, blaming moscow for the crisis in sri lanka,

he has said that russia's military campaign in ukraine has caused rising food insecurity around the world, including entry locker thousands of kilometers away we're seeing the impact of this russian aggression play out everywhere. it again may have contributed to the, the situation. so we were concerned about the implications that it has around the world. dramatic events in sri lanka are a result of the combination of months of protest due to an unprecedented economic crisis that hit the south asian nation before the ukraine conflict throughout the crisis has been attributed to the cobra pandemic which deprives the island nation of vital tourist revenue from this we can cross a live to human and labor rights lawyer, danco folic. thanks for being with us here on our international. this is an interesting one. i mean, entity blinking has blamed russians, military operation in ukraine for the crisis in sri lanka. why does the u. s. keep trying to blame russia for every single crisis? run the globe?

well, i guess it thinks it's a good alibi for its own mistakes, its own shortcomings. what's happened in sri lanka is the result of western capitalism run amok. sri lanka has been subject to austerity measures which the i m. f is imposed. the i m f is given 5 different loans to relock over the years. and sri lanka has struggled to pay that debt which has caused misery to the people in true law, which has only exacerbated economic insecurity and economic disparities. that is why these people are protesting, by the way i support these protested wish i saw more of these around the world. this has nothing to do with russia and everything to do with the failings of western style capitalism. but of course, no one in the west wants to admit that, so they blame russia. so why are they refusing to admit the most pressing problems

that have caused like this crisis? well again, because the blame would fall back on washington and the i m f that washington controls western style capitalism unfettered capitalism has shown itself to be a complete failure. we've seen this in the united states in terms of the pandemic, where we've had the worst, the most number of cases, the most number of deaths of any country in the world. meanwhile, the super rich have gotten 4 point. $25.00 trillion dollars richer. and we're seeing this type of economic injustice throughout the world, again, including and sri lanka, due to western style capitalists measures. and this is what happens when people take matters into their own hand and they stormed, you know,

the government offices have taken over. this is reminiscent to me many revolutions, particularly in the 20th century. but this is not inspired by russia. this is inspired by people's own demand, their own suffering. and the west has no one else but themselves to blame, but of course, so they go and blame russia. so us has an opportunity here to kind of pack things up p r wise. i mean, they could be helping the situation. is it fair to say that instead they just choosing to play this blame game? well, of course, and that's what the u. s. does all the time. the u. s. is incredible. crisis right now, politically, you see the president, the united states, with the record low approval ratings, with record high inflation, with record high homelessness. again, with record high pandemic numbers. and so they are scrambling to find any one to blame for this. russia has been the escape go now,

certainly since 1917 revolution and beyond. and, but eventually people will, i think people who are already waking up there, they're not behind this blame game. they are blaming the president united states, joseph vine. that is where the blame firmly wes, and i think he's going to, his party is going to be punished in november because they're not going to buy that . russia is the source of all these worlds. coming back to russia, though, russia has repeatedly denied blocking food exports. and what is the real cause? if you can narrow down to one thing, what is real cause of the world's food practice right now? well, again, the food crisis has been developing over time. the pandemic and how the pandemic has been treated has led to some of this trade and. 6 sourcing systems have been st overstretched

in frankly, if anything is to blame for this in the short term, it's the sanctions against russia, which the u. s. is imposed. which of her not only countries like sure longer, but also western europe. western europe, in countries like germany are facing massive shortages of fuel and food. and they may have a very cold winter, not due to what rushes done, but due to what the us sanctions, which have clearly backfired against the west and other countries in the world. and because i like human rights and labor lawyer, interesting to hear us as always, aren't right here in our international. thank you. berlin should prepare for a potential permanent halt of russian gas imports. that's what germany's economy minister, robert, hey back has said amid rushes, announcement of maintenance work for the north stream pipeline. a regular germans

are already feeling the effects of a looming gas deficit. one of the biggest housing operators in germany is restricting heating for tenants amid surging prices. the company, the novia is limiting heating to 17 degrees celsius as the maximum room temperature at night. that's as the tenants are likely to face even higher utility bills in the near future. the residence of a town in saxony have received a letter from their housing cooperative limiting how long they can bathe in an effort to reduce energy costs. and the company has introduced schedules for heating and hot water distribution. hot water can now be used only for 9 hours a day and for 10 hours a day on weekends. the changes affect more than 600 departments with residence, far from supporting the radical new measures. this is i give them money, a man who lives here has decided to tell every one in 600 apartments. when they can take a shower. he even cut their heating off. now we want to find out whether he himself

will make such sacrifices. he shut the door. he doesn't want to talk. that's it of command. if you have indeed me, thank you. how have the tenants reacted to this? everybody resents the, it's simply impossible to get any response from the administration or something nice ago. and it is not because, oh, you know it's illegal, right? i have to really for sure is coming suddenly. he's not the one authorized to change . everything like those about did you receive any prior notifications? no, they just put up the announcement on the entrance. meanwhile, ukraine's energy and foreign ministries have said they are deeply disappointed with canada's intention to transport a gas turbine to germany necessary for the functioning of the north stream pipeline . for the west. talking tough and imposing sanctions against russia have become business as usual. but when talking the talk demands walking the walk, we're seeing a bit of back tracking take germany's economics minister,

who says the north stream, one pipeline that supplies europe with russian gas is a must not only for berlin, but for the whole continents energy market. we need capacities in north stream one to fill up our storage. filled storage capacities in germany are not only important for the german market, but also for the european market and the security of supply in europe. a real 190 degree turn from what he said on the eve of russia's military operation and ukraine and doug boss. germany can meet its energy needs without russian gas, should energy prices skyrocket. consumers would receive assistance. the change of heart came as germany caught some serious, friendly fire from canadian sanctions. last month rushes state energy company gas prom was forced to reduce the flow of gas along north stream, one by 40 percent. why? several turbines essential for the pipelines, proper functioning, were under repair in montreal, and were blocked from being returned on time because of sanctions imposed by ottawa . so after

a bit of begging from berlin to avoid making germany's energy crisis any worse, canada sidestepped its own sanction. something keith was apparently crossing its fingers would not happen. if god forbid this decision is approved, we will undoubtedly appeal to our european colleagues that their approach must be reassessed. because if countries do not follow decisions they have agreed on about sanctions. how can we talk about solidarity, of course berlin would rather not insult its ukrainian proxies. so the german chancellor has been accusing russia of using das as a political tool, instead of you know, admitting that the west is shooting itself in the foot with its own sanctions. to day we have to admit, russia uses energy as a weapon. no one actually believes that russia is reducing its gas supplies for technical reasons alone. for its part, moscow is reminding everyone that it has never failed to carry out its energy obligations. we completely reject any hints or direct statements that the russian side is using gas or oil as a weapon of political pressure. there is

a certain routine with gas pipelines and such work is carried out every year. russia has consistently fulfilling all its obligations in a still able to guarantee the complete energy security of europe, sidestepping sanctions, making up stories to avoid looking hypocritical. it might just be easier for everyone if europe stops trying to play hardball with the very country that's long provided most of its energy needs. as far as energy wars, or, or blackmail tactics. yes, the west has clearly been playing this game a without question. russia did not impose any sanctions on on any country and did not refuse any exports. in fact, it had still export and gas and the turbine that canada will be returning to germany is going after all to the next 3 me, one pipeline. germany's a business leadership associations have urged the german government to take

action. gas is not so important now, which is summer time that's in october and the german industry fee is a complete collapse if the gas supplies are not restored. and we have a situation where western governments are saying one thing to show off how pro ukraine they are on the other hand that the business and the economic leaders are want guarantees that the russian gas will keep flowing. us president joe biden, who previously lashed out against saudi arabia over claims of human rights abuses, is now going there, reportedly to push for more oil production. he defended the trip to take place later this week with a sprawling op ed in the washington post. we have to counter rushes, aggression, put ourselves in the best possible position throughout, compete china and work for greater stability in

a consequential region of the world. to do these things, we have to engage directly with countries that can impact those outcomes bite and goes on the praise react as washington's quote, a strategic partner for 80 years thing. the oil rich middle eastern powers energy sources are vital at a time of soaring fuel prices. biden's trip to the region starting on wednesday, will also include a visit to us ally israel and the disputed west bank. biden has been badgering, gulf states, particularly saudi arabia, to increase oil production to offset the u. s. embargo on russian supplies of the commodity following a barrage of requests, arab oil export have finally agreed to boost their exports. biden had earlier said he would, ostracize saudi arabia over human rights concerns during his election campaign. in 2001, 900, we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are. a former senior advisor to saudi arabia, the energy ministers, as western countries have been trying to shift their own responsibility for the

crisis onto oil exporting countries. everybody is looking at the energy ex, exporting. it is as the candidate to blame and their name, they blame game with. so there are always exporting this little the problem and the sanction economic center, including our intention. again, if russia from the european union being pushed and motivated the united states of america. so they caused the problem and they need to an i q 5 that problem. and instead of blaming or exporting the new so. so i think, i think there is some kind of there. but it said that addiction and the policies of that was when the war and you're korean a started,

don't know what to do. they are saying that this is the only solution to i stack could i shot i'm to impose additional sanction which is fighting back now you see the european union is bragging down to be and say should just under 32 minutes. that's what i'll be back as another full infrastructure news. this is our international work with us. oh, a no deductible, which when you buy

a go on up with a question, get with oh mm hm. mm.

welcome to well, the part historically, europe has been the center stage for humanities longest and lobbyist wars and judging by the recent events in and around your brain, that it may not be fully over asia. on the other hand, despite its enormous diversity, has been relatively few rats with conflicts. much of this tribe of weakness was inflamed or fueled from the out side. but as the east continues to gain strength and the west continues to flounder can, the asian tigers heaved themselves from becoming too territorial to discuss it. and now joined by 3 comes from the poly professor of chinese studies at the java for long narrow university in new delhi professor. it's great to see a great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. it's on a funded right now, let's start with something that is very close to home.
