ah, ah, with russian gas, it's no longer flowing to germany through the north stream one pipeline due to the start of scheduled maintenance that's made a spiraling energy prices in europe with officials blaming moscow instead of their own sanctions. they also this our get another power division where americans and 777 houses will base. here you have a number of shells. these a powder judge time. this is all but by almost the direct impacts are to investigate hastily abandoned ukrainian army position where you estimate heavy weapons were apparently being used to sheldon bonds. washington tries to pin
5:01 pm
the blame for the crisis in 3 long gone. russia, as the south asian countries president confirms he's stepping down and they made widespread riots over the countries. economic turmoil lost the relatives of slain al, jazeera journalistic. he was washington white washing her killing by israeli troops and demand a face on the joe biden during his visit to the country this week with just past 9 pm here in moscow, and you're watching our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. there are fresh worries in the european union after russia halted the flow of gas through a key pipeline to germany called north stream one for 10 days. due to scheduled maintenance, germany's vice chancellor says european countries need to agree to tighten their belts in an attempt to get through expected shortages. however, the pipelines maintenance was agreed by all sides in advance and will last until
5:02 pm
the end until the 21st of july. north stream one flows directly from russia to germany through the baltic sea and has been crucial for berlin. last month, russia reduced the pipelines load by 40 percent after saying that some key hardware needed for the gas root was being held up by western sanctions. pipeline accounts for around half of germany's gas imports. ortiz, rachel marston has more on the issue. german economy minister, robert havoc expressed concerns stay at russia when use gas applies as a political weapon. amid the program maintenance shut down of the north stream, one pipeline which normally transports gas from russia to europe. havoc said that solidarity is more important than ever. solidarity for what collective suicide it's easy nations, their weapon ising, their own energy policy, putting their own gas supply in peril with anti russian sanctions for which we the citizens are paying the price of the pump. here in france were on the cost of a massive heat wave right now with up to 40 degree temperatures forecasted over the
5:03 pm
next couple of weeks. france even has a statutory holiday in june every year in memory of the nearly 20000 elderly who died in care homes from a similar heat wave in the summer of 2003, but french economy minister. but we know the man hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have a clue what they're doing. let's prepare for a total cutoff of russian gas today. that is the most likely option. we have to anticipate and to put ourselves in order of battle as of now, except that we're not ready for battle here in europe. let's face it. habits proclaimed that he cut down the shower time yet again. like that's any kind of a solution for supposedly developed nation while german cities are planning to introduce warm up space is this winter amid the need to ration energy? you know, those things that you see in depression era, hollywood movies, you know, the, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute, when it went gung ho sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of nord stream one is sparking hypo
5:04 pm
ventilation by you. officials who fear that russia could use it as an excuse to reduce gas delivery to europe or extend the shut down beyond the 10 days. the italian oil and gas company, any reports that daily supplies been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria's energy company o m v also report a reduction by north stream. one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger an energy, the eas, top economies went along with it. but now is panic sets. and in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the u bit off more than it could chew. it's kind of like that teenager who runs away from home, gets halfway down his own street and starts panicking over his own foolish decision . journalist on political analyst luke prevail told me that it's becoming harder and harder for european officials to justify their sanctions against russia, to their own taxpayers and voters. all the politicians in europe by trying to explain the divine defended difficult things of that week on the go through and in
5:05 pm
the coming months and ma'am years, probably all women we getting into recession, we have a 10 percent inflation and i'm average in your 8.5 or 8.9 percent. oh, inflation. and i'll go to worst him will be germany. that's terrible. because this is the local motive. all european economy of european industry. they could find oh, gas to replace trash and gas. this would have to be paid more in, you know, and more bought in dollars. and we don't print dollars a year. so it's going to get worse and worse. you have a voice is coming to find this princess. but also, for example, sequel in what you know from what i said for one, something crucial that the, the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and that she could not understand why we impose sanctions, not harmless, much molden,
5:06 pm
russia. so it's getting old very difficult for politicians to explain this and that they are trying to prepare sway before rationing. doesn't mean probably come in. the old german princess has accused berlin of hypocrisy and double standards over its approach to doing business with russia, as opposed to other countries via happened vishal us. we decided that we didn't want to buy anything else from the russians. the americans force us to turn off nor soon to which has since gone bankrupt. it was our decision claiming that evil of russians don't sell us anything is just hypocrisy. because we have been explaining to people for weeks that we can get anything from them because he can not buy from criminals. but the funny thing is, we're willing to do business with other countries that use criminal methods in the same way. i remember saudi arabia or china, where we grew, are sent to concentration camps. for some reason nobody is talking about that. so the moral treatment is only dished out whenever it's convenient. for me, there is a lot of ideology behind us. can we afford so much ideology?
5:07 pm
and the question i'm asking is, who benefits from all this? i've called, i've always wanted to quickly. and while it's been confirmed that the required equipment to natural gas turbine will be returned to germany by canada, where the hardware has been undergoing scheduled repairs, the move requested by berlin was met with outrage in key f, as i explained more in detail in the following piece. last month, russia's 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 kiev 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
5:08 pm
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 is 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
5:09 pm
everyone if europe stops trying to play hardball with the very country that's long provided most of its energy needs. meanwhile, mass protests in albania, over social and economic issues have hit the capital city of toronto. demonstrations broke out a made rising fuel and food prices as well as allegations of government corruption . protesters are demanding the resignation of the country's leadership after inflation reached double digits and fuel prices rose by 30 percent. ah, so long as president has informed the government that he will resign on the 13th of july days after protesters stormed the homes of both the premier and the president . some of them swam in the pool, lied in the beds and crowded the corridors of the leaders houses. demonstrators have continued to occupy those residences, accusing the government of responsibility for severe shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. and recent months. the protesters say they will remain at those locations until the leaders reside. but here's a closer look at the events surrounding the latest chaos in the country.
5:11 pm
i'm here in front of me, tim patrice, which is the official residents of the prime minister. one of the buildings that came on the siege and occupation of hypnotist is that the purpose is started a massive rally on the 9th of july as again see behind me it's bead. maryland. and breached by the british says in numbers, tens and thousands of numbers. this does things in the 9th of june. i have started roaming around these major buildings to gave the housing and the shelter for the president at the same die by the prime minister. so all 3 major buildings are constantly been occupied by the purpose does that. he's the presidential, the house in fort area, the presidential secretariat, and the temple freeze, which is the official residence of the 5 minister from the farm to go to prospective or to be a special meeting,
5:12 pm
easy to get it out. as i talked to you at the moment by the speaker, especially amongst the baltic leaders of water presenting at the store like a political parties. and at the same time, the prime minister also made a switch, a statement to the nation with regards to the attack that cross gatti doubt against these private residents, which is just a couple of kilometers of e from the template, freeze the offer to residents of the premium, so as of now the situation is not that certain at the moment go up eastwood environment, diesel, really us secretary of state antony blinking is once again pointing the finger at moscow. he said that russia's military campaign and 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 situation through locker. were concerned about the implications that it has around the world and rushes denied washington's accusation,
5:13 pm
saying that western powers constantly blame moscow for events. it has nothing to do with the chaotic events in 3 long ca, or a combination of months of protests over an unprecedented economic downside emerged in the south asian country, long before russia's military operation began. the crisis has been attributed to the coven pandemic, which deprives the island nation of vital force, revenue, human and labor rights lawyer, dan cobol. it says that western capitalist interests are actually to blame for 3 long term. on what's 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 west 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,
5:14 pm
the most number of deaths of any country in the world. meanwhile, the super rich have 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 demands, their own suffering. and the west has no one else but themselves to blame, but of course, so they go and blame russia. the family of slain al jazeera journalists, sharina ob lockley has demanded to meet joe biden. during the u. s. president's visit to israel later this week. the relatives of the palestinian american reporter who was shot dead and may have accused washington of turning a blind eye to israel's role in her killing in the days and weeks since in israeli soldier killed green. not only have we not been adequately consulted, informed and supported by u. s. government officials. but your administration's actions exhibit in the parent
5:15 pm
intent to undermine our efforts toward justice and accountability for sharina death . instead, the united states has been skulking toward the erasure of any wrongdoing by israeli forces, from the failure to immediately ensure an independent and impartial investigation. your administration's engagement has served to whitewash dreams, killing, and perpetuate impunity. sharina aqua was fatally wounded on may 11th, while recording on an israeli army raid on a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank shot dead in the middle of armed clashes, despite only despite openly wearing a blue press best and un human rights office. probe concluded that she'd been killed by idea fire, however, the u. s. and it says railey allies claim there are, there is no reason to believe that the killing was intentional. televi was not held, has not held anyone accountable and journalist and middle east analyst robert in la cash says it seems like washington is eager to sweep the incident under the rock. i
5:16 pm
think the u. s. bided administration, use this incident is somewhat of a nuisance, and that seems to be the way they're treating it from the get go. the state department came out with a statement in which it essentially said that trusted israel to investigate this case and said that it had the wherewithal to conduct a thorough investigation itself. it's clear that the israelis did not want to investigate it primarily for political reasons. and of course, you know, it's very rare that they hold their soldiers properly accountable when they kill palestinians and american citizens as well, to be honest with you. but then later on now they've conducted this investigation, essentially, according to that selim israel's top human rights organization, this was a whitewash wants, the united states state department said that it pulls for accountability and justice. on the other hand, what it did is it gave israel a get out a free card by saying that there is no indication that they have to say that this
5:17 pm
was an intentional killing. when, for instance, an investigation by cnn suggest that it was perhaps intentional. all of the evidence against the israeli forces, but just that assessing intent was the us was able to conclude who actually committed the murder in the report. so in terms of accountability, the palestinian issue in general is not something that the biden administration is really interested in. at this point, there is no real push or desire to achieve a political solution. the post and uniformity itself is not really a strong political force anymore. so the palestinian question has been undermined for the u. s. fight administration. there's just no urgency. meanwhile, russia's defense ministry says its forces have destroyed an ammunition storage depot for us, supplied rocket launchers and howitzers and southeastern ukraine. moscow also says the russian military has eliminated the ukrainian weapons warehouse,
5:18 pm
which stored more than $200.00 tons of foreign made anti tank missile systems. earlier moscow said it had destroyed almost 2000 western made rounds for howitzers and rocket launchers inside ukraine. meanwhile, in dunbar, russian lead forces have reportedly taken control of 2 towns in the north of the done yes, people's republic commit attempts to move the frontline westwards to reach. major ukrainian held strong holds in the area according to soldiers operating their retreating ukrainian troops continue to use civilians as human shields and, and the guns people's republic russian lead forces are advancing after taking control over the last key towns there. as you can see on the map, russian troops are moving further to the west to reach a ukrainian stronghold in the city of severs russia. defense ministry says some ukrainian units operating in the area are in a bad state after taking heavy losses or 2 more, i guess you have reports from the frontline, they're quite when we came here,
5:19 pm
listen so quite any more, not tillery duel between russian forces and ukrainian forces were quote, bags, but in the me here shows the shells whizzing us and explosion the other side and then return for good thing with these these ukranian trenches bonkers. and these are bunkers. the full sense again, not much of a problem here. you bring in 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 conflicts began. nevertheless, you couldn't some build. these steel reinforced concrete bug has one over the
5:20 pm
place. huge doors inside areas where they slept great in t shirts and limbs. these stretch of the front lines from the city of city of sc to bar mote 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 and 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 printed 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
5:21 pm
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 shrewd the ukrainians. somehow, dow, this out of here again perhaps to prevent russian voices and allied forces from capturing those in what would undoubtedly, undoubtedly have been a p our victory. this is the 2nd time in the span of a week that we have found, destroyed, artillery positions where american houses was stationed everywhere, our shelves and powder charge, canisters shipped from us arsenals and abandoned by ukrainian troops.
5:22 pm
but that isn't all. in one bunker, we found a fool memory cod with a number of videos recorded by ukranian troops and left behind to be found if something were to happen to them global. so 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 of similar videos that have been posted on line and they are often the same. the sad story of demoralized conscripts and drafted soldiers sent without any training into
5:23 pm
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, his missing inaction, 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 archie from the la guns people's republic? ukraine. foreign ministry has fired back at allegations from ukrainian born u. s. congresswoman victoria sparts, after she suggested the ukranian president's chief of staff, has derailed peace talks and even sabotaged. u. s. military deliveries have accused the republican lawmaker who is also responsible for the land lease program of trying to capitalize on the conflict and ukraine. v. r and disclose to attempt to
5:24 pm
bring back in terms of can politics. the classic narrative suppression propaganda about the ukranian leaderships alleged ties to russia and to drag our country to you as domestic politics. where do i miss sports to stop trying to earn extra political capital on baseless speculation? their own to topic for in our country and the grief of ukrainians. republican law maker has travelled to ukraine several times since the start of russia's military operation, and claim she's familiar with the situation on the ground. sparts is allegations against kiev are a rare case, as most us politicians have refrained from criticizing ukrainian officials. the american congresswoman has made a variety of accusations against andre, or mock the ukrainian president's chief of staff. according to some of her claims, he mismanaged negotiations with moscow ahead of russia's military operation and also delayed purchases of urgent military equipment while avoiding the appointment of an independent anti corruption prosecutor for ukraine. the american law maker is
5:25 pm
also asked for accountability for weapons deliveries to key from i was died as americans was spending a lot of money in the water resources. would you have another president by didn't have to have a clear strategy in the line. he has to, you know, line the strategy was, he's 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 efficiently. and also that we have ability to be kind of talk. radio host on political commentator, steve gill, says, key of has been quick to dismiss legitimate questions raised by the u. s. congress . i think still ignore it. hope it goes away, but i think it is congresswoman spartan speaks up. you're going to see other starting to speak up and ask the question of where does the money doing, why is it inappropriate to ask for accountability and transparency? and you know, we've seen some stories recently claiming that some high officials in ukraine had
5:26 pm
been by swiss chalets, spending huge millions of dollars on their personal properties at switzerland. another location, if we can work to track dollars of russian overdraw arts and russian business people and what assets they have in other countries. why isn't it appropriate to ask what you crated officials are doing william so much money is flowing in crane. i think it's legitimate to ask where it's going when it flows, our president trump was put under fire for a phone call with president zalinski, asking him to investigate the corruption didn't zone country did. and now of course, i even asked the question to seem somehow as provocative or promoting russian propaganda. people from bosnia herzegovina and around the world are commemorating the 27th anniversary of the 70 so tragedy in 1995, which was later used by nato as a pretext to bomb serbia. the town of scrubber, nita came under the control of bosnian muslims in 1992 as civil war broke out
5:27 pm
across bosnia herzegovina, following its hasty recognition by the west since 1993, the town was demilitarized and controlled by a dutch un peacekeeping battalion. however, over $5000.00 armed men remained and strove bernita, continuing to rave, serbian villages, bosnian serb forces eventually launched an attack to put out to put an end to the raids. during the ensuing events, most of the town civilians had remained behind at a local un base. however, un soldiers said they saw no signs of wrong doing. there wasn't until months later, after a headline hunting american journalist went into the area that he claimed to have found mass rates in serbian political analyst, alexander profits told us that western propaganda continues to manipulate the history of events in st. bernita. they need a scapegoat because the west had a key role in the outbreak of the civil war in boston. got to go in and off. you
5:28 pm
know, they need this whole narrative about serbian aggression in order to take the blame off themselves. and they also need to put to blame on the serbs in order to be able to better control this entire region from boston. you had to go and i'm practically the whole. oh former yugoslavia. so you're not big concocted this narrative about genocide. but you know. busy they have no real proved it. all they did was that they made this kangaroo court called the international criminal and trivial tribunal. busy formerly dislike nato and allied countries, they financed this tribunal. and they got the kind of verdicts that they needed for political purposes. each year they buried what they, what they say are victims of genocide. but there's no independent verification of these bodies or their dna identification. nobody knows where these bodies come from and nobody knows the cause of their death. so this is just
5:29 pm
a narrative that's part of this full western neo colonial policy. and just keeping the ball can subjugated, having the scapegoat to serve, just like the russians are now to retain control over only this entire region. that's all for this hour. thanks for watching our to international. and we hope to see you again soon with a with ah,
