i really am getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with russia temporarily shut down a key gas supply route to germany, the north stream pipeline for scheduled maintenance as berlin braces for its energy crisis to only get worse yet another foreign position where americans and 777 houses, well based here you have a number of shells. these are part of the judge cabinet is all bud by. almost direct impacts are 2 examines, abandoned ukrainian army positions on the former, on that front line, those forces were treat westward. a is gripped by a wave of mass riots,

has long term economic problems devolved into an unprecedented prices. but the u. s . reverts to its usual narrative grasping at straws in an attempt to put the blame on russia and prose. testers, take it to the streets of paris, arguing that ukrainian refugees are being treated substantially better than those from war torn countries in the middle east and africa. we've heard from some of the demonstrators, we've all seen the ukrainians go through difficult times, but africa has also been going through the same thing for decades. why do they deserve to be better accommodated than other refugees? french from war and misery. we see many women and children who france has left behind on the streets today with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our international on john thomas. i'm glad to have you with us. now. russia has temporarily halted gas applies at through a key pipeline to germany nord stream for 10 days of scheduled maintenance work.

but berlin fears it must prepare for a potential permanent halt to all russian gas imports. that's what germany's economy minister roberte back warned. as russia announced, the maintenance would begin on monday. north stream, which follows directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea has been of crucial importance for berlin. the route accounted for 55 percent of germany's gas imports last year and 40 percent in the 1st quarter of this year. then last month, russia reduced supplies through the pipeline by 60 percent saying it required equipment whose servicing was being held up by western sanctions. canada was preventing a turbine from being sent to the pipeline, but then eventually backed down and allowed the park to be transported to germany. that was much to the ire of kiev, with both ukraine's energy and foreign ministries. lashing out about the move are used on quarter has for the wes 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 to pasadena 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 $180.00 degree turn from what he said on the eve of russia's military operation and ukraine and don boss, germany to meet its energy needs without russian gas showed energy prices skyrocket, consumers would receive assistance. the change of heart came as germany caught some serious, friendly fire from canadian sanctioned last month. russia state energy company gas problem 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 blocks 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 key 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 solid charity? of course berlin would rather not insult its ukrainian proxies. so the german chancellor has been accusing russia of using gas 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 you're up 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 and a without question. russia did not impose any sanctions on on any country and did not refuse any exports. in fact, it still export and guess 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 wanting to show off 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 close. 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 ven novia is limiting heating to 70 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. residents 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. 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 apartments with residence far from supporting the radical new measures. this is, i just go month, a man who lives here has decided to tell everyone 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 sacrifice. assume he shut the door. he doesn't want to talk. that's it. uh huh. if you haven't viewed me, tell you how have the tenants reacted to this. everybody resents the us. it's simply

impossible to get any response. i'm from the administration. thank you. bye for go . it's, it is not because of, you know, it's illegal, right. i feel the 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. now to the latest developments from the don boss, russian lead forces have reportedly returned fire at the ukrainian army following relentless shelling of residential areas in the done yet st. republic by cubes forces. ah, these recent videos from eye witnesses, proport to show artillery barrage is being unleashed on ukrainian military positions near the city of god. lapka in the neighboring lucas republic, local air defense forces have reportedly shot down an incoming ukrainian ballistic missile. meanwhile, ukrainian deputy prime minister says the national military will launch

a counter offensive on southern parts of the country in an effort to expel russian forces. she warned the civilians there to urgently flee their homes because otherwise they could end up being used as human shields. and this is exactly what russia has been accusing the ukrainian military of since the conflict erupted. thank you. has been deploying troops and heavy artillery into residential areas. and ukrainian forces have also recently been unleashing relentless artillery barrages on civilian neighborhoods in done yet, sc. at least 3 people were reported injured in such a tax. on sunday alone, several residential buildings were damaged in the latest bombardment, including this one completely gutted by fire. archie arabic correspondent, and some nasir reports from the scene you taught through ukrainian forces or once again bombarding the neighborhoods are 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 emergencies 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. the cranes defense minister alexi has the cough has said the country's military has been suffering heavy losses as he asks western countries to provide more weapons. meanwhile, russian lead forces have continued to make advances in the don bass to take the remaining parts of the done yet republic. now she's got their reports in the front line. what, when we came here? listen so quiet anymore and artillery dual between russian forces and ukrainian forces and where quote bags black in the me here shortly. now

the shell, whizzing over us and explosion, the other side. and then return for a good thing. where in these, these ukranian trenches bonkers and these are bunkers, the full sense. again, well, not much about 5 here. ukrainian troops abandoned. these are uniforms belonging, scattered all over the place. but this is very far from the front line. nevertheless, craniums from the front line. when the conflicts began, nevertheless, ukrainians have built these steel reinforced concrete bunkers, replaced huge. the doors inside here is where they slip creighton in t shirts and limbs. these stretch of the front lines from the city of san francisco

bar move 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 am 777 houses we're based here. you have a number of shells, these a powder, judge tanis is all burned by almost direct impacts. you have a number of craters here, multiple rocket law, just systems and touched by the look of them. but we have in direct evidence that at least one cabin 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 that the trenches doubt out 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 are 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 heads were 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 have similar videos that have been posted online and they are 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 farmers teaches, strive was musicians. and programmers who are more and more aware that they are being used as cannon fodder. or i'd gas d a r t, from the la guns people to republic military personnel in sri lanka have been deployed outside the prime minister's residence amid 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 recent months. protesters say they will remain at those locations until the leaders resign. the speaker of parliament has said that the president would step down on wednesday. here's a timeline of how the leaders residences were stormed.

who's with

the situation has since stabilized a little local journalist edition voss reports on location in sri lanka, largest city and commercial capital, colombo, possibly this is not so certain. and the butter because stability has gone. so have 5 or even a couple of ministers recently pointed have tended designated, so it's going to new could be an unstable. wanted to go situation an unstable economic situation as we speak, go on to a new president. hopefully, the speaker taking off the duties as the active president and leaving the v for the fall major off. and all part of the government, which will be most probably take place after the 13th of this month. so the people are going to need to stay people la rominger, i'll be a positive house. i mean all the time, but we used to be tv of each residents of the 5,

but it's the at the same day. so most of other special government residents is, are being robbed by the professor. does fingers crossed for a better tomorrow? theories for lack of the speech on was reported view on both for us, secretary of state antony blinkin 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 in sri lanka, thousands of kilometers away. we're seeing the impact of this russian aggression play out everywhere. it again may have contributed to the the situations we locker were concerned about the implications that it has around the world. russia has denied such accusations, saying that western powers have been blaming moscow for things. it isn't involved in dramatic events in sri lanka, or a combination of months of protests due to an unprecedented economic crisis that

emerged in the south is a nation long before the conflict interrupted. the crisis has been attributed to the coven pandemic, which deprives the island nation of vital tourist revenue, human and labor rights lawyer. den kamala says, western capitalist interests are actually to blame for sri locust turmoil. what happened in sri lanka is the result of western capitalism run amok. 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 wife wants to admit that. so they blame russia. 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 had gotten $4.00 trillion dollars richer, and we're seeing this type of economic injustice throughout the world again,

including in sri lanka, 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. human rights groups in france have sounded the alarm over refugees allegedly being mistreated if they are not from ukraine, that's made claims that migrants from war torn nations in the middle east and north africa are being turned away from french shelters, despite plenty of space for them. in the 1st reception center between $3500.00 places are left vacant each night. the state which has already been asked about this categorically refuses to accommodate vulnerable people from other countries. however, at the same time, several 100 people are sleeping rough. hundreds of protestors took to the streets of paris on saturday to speak out against alleged double standards in france's

treatment of refugees saying middle eastern and african asylum seekers should be treated as well as those from ukraine. we heard from some of the demonstrators, one of them requested anonymity to speak freely about their cause. to consider tell you that you premiums have been welcomed very quickly and with a right to be protected since the very beginning of the war. that's not the case for other refugees who are also victims of the war and abuses in their home countries. there are shelters with vacant places. well, refugees are on the streets, especially afghans were mistreated by the police in public parks. these are double standards, it looks like racism on a state level who's i want to see. we have all seen the ukrainians go through difficult times, but africa has also been going through the same thing from decades. i want to address the head of state in manila ma cron to tell him to take a look at the africans to take a look at these children who have the same values. they are equal to the ukrainians . you think mr. mc wrong please. our children are suffering,

i don't think the ukrainians are better than africans and vice versa. we are all equal in one. please. mister mc wrong when need housing and men to give a future to least children. she level took the on him. we've managed to walk in the ukrainians for a while and had a tremendous speed mode. i'm very happy that they've been welcomed with good manners. why do they deserve to be better accommodated than other refugees? french from war and misery. we see many women and children whom france has left behind on the streets today, but he's looking meanwhile, a recent poll conducted in the u. k. shows that the despite waning support for ukraine, britons still would rather welcome refugees from ukraine over those fleeing conflicts in afghanistan. syria and somalia, former nigerian presidential candidate on the move garbo. the 2nd says, europeans that should stop treating african countries as 2nd class dates it is. it's really very, very clear the worst and that the we have in your recently, you've seen how it is when the data for g is form crane coming over into

france. and there's sort of the french did send it to say that blood people that are in did it for g, comes in. should what kid for the white with them citizens of general to come on? why doesn't location you see very clear the one the one to stand if you, nor did you feel, why didn't you didn't have to. when i went to france to go and see most of you to have to do with the problems of the field in their home country as a result of french action. if, if i want to want to do means of colonialism, free africa, you should let alpha go to mit. what did you find the foreign policy, which a lot of are going to be able to find out what route? one moment, what is the dish? the dish didn't have for can you call them one of the global community? we have $13.00, that is part of the fight is break. can you order that has to be united niche on job for you want to right? did i believe that you all want to see these are they are supposed to be in need

for? what are we africans? have to begin to see that until we define own futile in obviously coming new order data will continue to be please just a 2nd class to class of what class of 2100 is not out on like you know, do i mean to another group you comes to the chance ukraine's foreign ministry has 5 back at heavy allegations from a u. s. congress woman victoria parts who had suggested kills tom diplomat, derailed peace negotiations, and even screwed up military aid deliveries. keith says the republican lawmaker who was actually from ukraine born there has brought so called russian propaganda into american politics. we advised me sports to sup, trying to earn extra political capital, obeys lo speculation around the topic of war in our country and the grief of ukrainians. especially cynical, are manipulations about ukraine and its leadership from

a congresswoman of quinn in origin. ukrainian foreign ministry also accused the u. s. lawmaker of undermining mechanisms for providing u. s. military assistance to give, that's after sparts called for washington to more diligently track its weaponry being sent to give over concerns that such supplies could possibly be ending up in the wrong hands from ours died as americans was spending a lot of money in the right resources we get to have another president by didn't have to have a clear strategy in the line. he has to, you know, line the strategy with his actions. he's the words and actions don't go together. and we need to be able to make sure you know that this money is spent. and also that we have ability to be kind of talk. radio hosts and political commentator, steve gill, says, keith has been quick to dismiss legitimate questions about age spending as so called propaganda. when there is smoke,

there is fire and if they are questioning accountability for how the money that the us taxpayers are sending, do you crate if they're questioning, being asked, how's the money being spent? that tells me that money is not being spent very wisely or well. and it's interesting that congresswoman starts was, was beloved by the premium government. and she was talking heavily about the need for the us to intervene to send money to send funds for both foreign aid in for, for military 8. and now suddenly when she's saying by the way, we'd like to check the receipts, see how you're spending the money then somehow she's promoting russian propaganda. it's amazing how quick they've turned daughter for simply asking some jeremy questions. we're seeing billions of dollars and continue demands more billions of dollars to be said by us taxpayers to ukraine. i think you're seeing kind of a war fatigue. i think you're servicing a taxpayer spending 50 by americans as we haven't do our mid term elections here. i think this is going to be an issue that does it for me this our stay with us

throughout the day though as we bring you more news and commentary, this is mark international ah with ah, with business, and you cleaned with our shoes on you, americans gray,
