a trade. it's clean promises that also winning little benefit to the local african leaders of europe, rush to buy african natural gas while seemingly having no ponds to invest in local infrastructure. and russian gas is no longer flowing to germany through the knolls stream pipeline, due to sanction scheduled maintenance that emit spiraling energy crisis in europe with officials in moscow for the problems rather than the counter effects of sanctioned with moscow to the world. this is our international. my name is peter scott bringing you the top stories this tuesday morning. welcome to the program. now we do start with some breaking news. this our several people were reportedly killed and dozens injured after ukraine stroke. the city of nova kafka in russian controlled territory. local authorities claim the u. s. provides weapons were used in the

attack. a huge explosion was captured by eye witnesses. the local authorities claim a potassium nitrate warehouse was blown up in the start using us made hi mas rockets, artillery, causing a massive blast which had the surrounding area. hundreds of apartments were reportedly destroyed or damaged with the explosion. also allegedly damaging a local hospital. the exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed by local authorities claim a child was also killed in the explosion. ukrainian authority say it was a russian ammo deco that was hits one local residents living close to the scene film. this video of her destroyed apartment the

media meanwhile, you officials say that ukraine bound weapons will be illegally smuggled to the black mark. this comes after russia's warning that western weapons are already for sale, and used by radical groups in the middle east. one of your official speaking and honestly claimed it's simply impossible to prevent weapons program. it is hard to avoid weapons smuggling. we tried to keep track of them, but i would be lying. if i said we will succeed. we failed after the war in yugoslavia and we can't prevent it. now. this comes as western states continue to supply large amounts of weapons to kias on the screen. here you can see exactly how

many have the weapons ukraine has received 2 dates. that's in addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions on portable missile systems. the total amount of western military equipments and weapons amounts to around $38000000000.00 us dollars. that's according to some estimates. let's cross live now to sarah funders, co director of the international action center. welcome to oxy international. now i just wanted to start off with ask you about this latest attack on, nor via car co, local officials claim that the explosion occurred to us made hi must rocket struck the warehouse there. no, you couldn't. officials do say it was a russian, i'm o dapple, and so several people have reportedly died. what's your take on this latest incidence in this ongoing conflicts? well, the us determination to provide heavier and heavier weapons to the cranium forces who are absolutely reckless in who they are targeting,

who the civilians who are directly impacted really, who's to blame and see us providing these weapons. and they're provided without any training. and without any concern for who is really caught in the crossfire, what do you suggest the alternative would have been to providing these weapons to ukraine while from the very beginning to stop the arming funding, training of the nazi forces within the ukraine and negotiated settlement from the very beginning, and even now is the only way forward, just providing more and more weapons. and as they admit these weapons go into the black market, they are absorbed around the world. the one by gangs my nurse scenario, criminal enterprises. although the biggest criminal enterprise and all of this is really the you are military who arms and trains mercenaries and fascist

fours like this. so the more weapons that are pumped in, it has nothing to do with safety and security in ukraine or anywhere in the world. it's dangerous. do you think that she provide in an affective counter to the russian offensive in ukraine? i mean, we do see videos about ukraine trips, shelling done. yes, come and see russia has showed ukrainian territory as well. but what do you think about the effectiveness of these us weapons in turning the tide of the war? well, they won't be effective in turning the tide of the war. the ukrainian military is in a state of collapse and his losing land losing its positions continually. ah, but it increases the cost and that's what it's meant to do. the only us plan in this war is to extract as high cost as they possibly can on russia,

and to do it by using to the last ukranian every one without any regard. that's been its purpose from the beginning to put in place. sanctions that are destructive globally and to put in to do everything possible to destabilize russia and what's happened. it is the stabilizing all of europe. and it is certainly been massively destructive to the ukraine. i mean, i've had heard some people argue that by providing these weapons to ukraine, the aim is to give ukraine a better, a stronger position on the negotiating table for when there is some sort of settlement in the future. hopefully. well, it has not done that in 4 and 5 months. the ukrainian position and situation continues to deteriorate. i lost all positions and lugens can serious important positions in the c rogers and on the black sea. so it's not succeeding very well

at all. as a matter of fact, it's a real disaster. but the bigger disaster is to the civilian population in ukraine and to the population throughout europe, who is facing enormous shortages in energy and globally what this means in terms of real famine when fertilizer energy inflation are part of the elation. now and this is u. s. intention provide and this from the beginning that this will hurt everyone, including here in the us, yet they don't care. there did go ahead with it as reckless as reckless as it is. and it is becoming more and more dangerous, more weapons that are pumped in and the more unaccounted for anywhere in the world . well indeed we had, we had done just an anonymous european official has. ringback expressed concern

that many of these weapons are accounted for and could indeed, how already have ended up on the market and could end up in europe. what do you think the, the risks of that are will the research real as even the ukranian forces us forces russian forces? every one admits that these weapons are out there. they're accessible from the very beginning when ukraine opened its armories with no questions were ending out weapons. this has continued, but now with much more advanced and dangerous weapons, it puts all of europe at risk. it continues to put the people of the middle east at risk because of who is purchasing these weapons and it gives away of the us continuing it's dangerous threats around the world by crediting simply anonymous groups when they create growing chaos. so this is a dangerous plan,

and yet the military industry is operate to guarantee profit. they don't care what happens to these whether they're blown up. whether that misfire, whether there's going to that relevant, is it making money for them? that is a way they look at their wars. well, sara found is co director of the international action since we're going to leave it there. but thank you very much fuel take on those ongoing weapon supplies to ukraine on that latest incidence in the capital region. thank you. oh, there are fresh concerns in e. u. after rush a hole sit at the flow of gas through the notes tree worn pipeline to germany for 10 days. that is due to scheduled maintenance. germany's vice chancellor says european countries need to agree to tighten a belt in an attempt to get through expected shortages. however, the pipelines maintenance was agreed by all sides in advance on will last until the 21st of july. no stream one flows directly from russia to germany through the

baltic sea and his a key energy pipeline for berlin. last month, russia reduced the pipelines capacity by 40 percent of to saying that some he hardware needed for the gus roots is being held up by western sanctions. the pipeline accounts for around half of germany's gas import oxy contributes a ritual. marston has more mustered german economy minister, robert havoc express concerns de russia when his 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 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 between orland, there 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 havoc proclaimed that he cut down his our 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 in, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute went away, gung ho, sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of north street one is sparking hypo 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 energy company o m v also report a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger an energy that used top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets in, in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the 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 and political analyst, luke creevy says it is becoming harder for european officials to justify their sanctions against russia, to their own taxpayers. on voters, all the politicians in europe, i trying to explain the, the, the very, very difficult things that we can go through in,

in the coming months and years. probably all we getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, in your 8.5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the local motive. all european economy of european industry, even if they could find out gas to replace crash and gas, this would have to be paid, not in, you know, anymore, but in dollars. and we don't print dollars a year. and so it's going to get worse and worse. you have a voice is coming to find this princess, but also for example, sequel. and what y'all in from who has set for one, something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions. that harmless, much more than russia. so it's getting very difficult for the politicians to explain this and that they are trying to prepare

a sway before rationing. that will probably come in the auto leo. meanwhile, a job and princess has accused berlin of hypocrisy over its selective approach to severing business size with russia. in contrast to several other countries, we're having dish loss. we decided that we didn't want to buy anything else from the russians. the americans forced to turn off not seem to which has since gone bankrupt. it was our decision claiming that evil of russians don't sell us anything is just he, paul chrissy. because we have an 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 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's a lot of ideology behind this. can we afford so much ideology? and the question i'm asking is, who benefits from all the high call level scores?

with the european energy crisis deepening, more people are struggling to pay. the heating bills in germany is reportedly applied to create public winter, warmer spaces. so those are stopping with costs. we are the local authorities in several german sounds about the initiative. officials in the town of frankl tall in south west in germany, photos organizing warm zones. it just one of many possible options of the neighboring towns report to the also considering the scenarios, including turning off lights in public building and even traffic lights, at least at night, in order to save energy. over a neighboring austria chancellor, called ne, hama has proposed other ways to warm up saying that alcohol is the only way out amid the ever growing energy prices. it's a bad tomato. if we continue like this now, right, there are only 2 options for you afterwards. looks alcohol or psycho tropic drugs that i say chart. alcohol is basically okay. oh, oh,

despite earlier plans to reduce the fossil fuel consumption, europe has turned to the african continent to secure gas supplies. but the plans are seemingly of little benefit to locals with no ames really to invest in infrastructure ortiz policy, or explains. just last year, western world came together and plates to britain entity duty fossil fuels. but it seems they've changed. they mind. the european union is looking to ton historic amounts of gas out of africa. not just for train, it's mean promises, but also bringing little benefit to the locals. as you opinions, use african gas to warm the homes. almost 800000000 africans still live without electricity. and the e u doesn't look safe to invest in local infrastructure. the gas goes from here to europe, to power homes and industries there, but we get no benefits from it. nothing comes to us just to keep examples. big

fossil fuel giants, including exxon b, p, and shell. i'll spending billions in mozambique, tanzania, and synagogue to extract more gas, most of which will be sent to europe. and it's trained only looks to increase. back in april, italy signed a new deal for gasoline, dolah, and congo. while germany is looking to secure supplies from synagogue. it's not just that the e u is coming to africa to plunder what it needs in times of crisis. it's also that spot ramping up oil production. it's fitting african economies back. in mozambique, foreign companies, led by any and total energies, have invested nearly $30000000000.00 in developing offshore natural gas reserves. in l n. g capacity. yet 70 percent of people still live without access to electricity. and then of course these, the horse that these ne, since will be live high and dry once the energy crisis eases and the e u, we commits itself to green energy. after all, the e u expensive gas demands to for 30 percent back 2030. then what european

companies will leave nations on the african continent will be left behind with dumped production facilities and reduced marcus. all this has pushed african needed to call out the sudden interest in the resources as a double standard. that perpetuates the west exploitation of this region. they sending out a simple message. we are not europe gas station. they cannot just come and say we need your gas o by your gas, and we'll take it to europe. they need to give something back to us. so it's not just about abandoning those green energy models at the drop of the hat. it's about an equal partnerships, as europe continues to not practise what it preaches, and critic say resort to its old colonialist mindset. is it any surprise that africans, now he, china, not to waste as the greatest to ally after all, they multi $1000000.00 project hadn't proved the lives of locals from providing

bridges to hospitals to intimates. it seems as though the patient of african nations may have ruled just a little too thin, and they're looking around for new allies who give as much as they take fully fiarty time is good. well in other news, rushes held and in full meeting of the un security council, that's an attempt to shed light on the issue of new naziism and ukraine. resurrection of noises when you green didn't happen overnight. one needs to recall that fascism in the form of heat, loyal extreme nationalism, isn't a new phenomenon for this country. it has contaminated virtually the whole of the ukrainian society, with the virus of nazism, $2.00 on top of extreme nationalism and rooster phobia. all these abhorrent trends are and offspring and the shocking reincarnation of the noisy ideology of an altar mench, a so called sub human. this is holden,

these is used to label this loves the bowls, the jews, the gypsies. and now this is happening to the russia speakers in ukraine, moscow's live now to our correspondence. caleb martin who's in new york, caleb watts. exactly. it was a points of this informal meeting. while russia used the meeting to highlight what is being widely ignored by international bodies, as well as western media, which is the war crimes being perpetrated by those of a neo nazi ideology in ukraine. this meeting we heard from academic scholars investigators, those were filed with the international criminal court videos were shown in which it was documented now that civilians are being targeted by the as our battalion. they are forcing people to host weaponry and such in their homes. they are setting snipers on the rooftops of people's homes. they are destroying homes, they are attacking civilian sites, and us media continues to ignore it. and

a lot of this fits in with the neo nazi ideology that i'd myers step on ben dera, with a collaborator with the nazis who's responsible for horrendous crimes against humanity . the ukrainian hard right wing nationalist element is full of elements. it seems it have sympathies for those who were defeated during the 2nd world war. now this was very carefully shown in presentations by academics and others. however, the response of the united states in the kingdom was to completely just dismiss it all as untrue without saying any counter evidence. they simply claimed that nothing russia says could be true for no other reason. then russia said it, here's the u. s. u k, responds to what russia presented in the eco soc, chamber. russia is not only conducting a war of aggression against ukraine. it is conducting a war untruth on a war on history. president putin absurdly claims his

d not supplying ukraine. in fact, he is engaged in a neo imperialist war and is showing no respect for the sovereignty of, of nations, of the sanctity of human life. russia continues to abuse. it's council seat to hold meetings that waste our time and attention. let's be clear on what this meeting is and is not. it is not a serious attempt to hold a discussion on neo naziism and violent extremism. it is a cynical attempt by russia to use the council as a platform for its state propaganda and to justify it's a brutal unprovoked and premeditated war of aggression against ukraine. we reject russia's for repeated efforts to distort history for its own political purposes. now that was the representative of the united states, dismissing the testimony of individuals who have their homes destroyed and had relatives killed, dismissing it as a waste of time. now it's interesting to know that in addition to the members of the security council at the floor, that is waylon also made

a point of addressing the meeting. and the representative of the bowl is arion republic of dennis way, le, took the floor and spoke in russia's defense. this is what the, that is waylon representative had before the meeting that took place. and he goes to our chamber of whatever republic of venezuela has been express in its deep concern of the grow in proliferation expansion and devastating impact of certain extra mis ideological trends. that nourish that these curves of hatred, discrimination based on race, nationality, re just believes, or political and gender motivations. but based on our supremacy conception that defense, the idea that certain human beings are superior to others. although we thought they had been overcome. we have certainly seen them grow in an alarming and an accelerated pace in recent years, particularly in europe and here in the united states of america. and now china also

spoke before the meeting and address concerns about was what russia was showing. and documenting to the meeting. so it was quite an interesting presentation. a lot of documented fact, a lot of videos shown confirming the pro nazi nature of many element elements that are close to the planning and military. i was a very important meeting. rush stepped up to the plate and present a lot of evidence to counter the narrative being course by western media. regardless, you just heard that the u. s. and the u. k. consider it to be a waste of time to corresponding kelly morphine. thank you very much. for the latest on the info meeting of the un security council is called by russia. thank you. the u. s. 60th state has praised former japanese prime minister sions are all bay during a surprise visit to tokyo. that's just days after the former premier was shot dead during campaign events. all bay did more than anyone to elevate. the relationship between the united states and japan to new heights were friends and when one friend

is hurting, the other friends shows up a blink and also said he handed japan's incumbents prime minister, a number of letters from the u. s. president for members of our base family who held a private funeral for the country's longest serving premier in tokyo. she's already died in hospital last friday, shortly after being shot at close range by a lone gunman during a campaign event of $41.00. your suspect was arrested at the scene and he's now undergoing investigation for the assassination of a vied and ordered american flag to be flown at half mast at the white house. was now cost live to political science. it's an analyst dakota, lily. welcome to the program, dakota not as a tribute albedo by an audit american 5 to be flown hoffmeister, the white house. and of course, that was followed by surprise visit by the us section of state to tokyo. what's your take on these moves by washington? well, i think it's just more grandstanding and more evidence that shows just how subservient

japan has become to the united states, especially under the premier ship options that are under ob, is leadership, if you can call it that japan had become monthly. columbia was in latin america, japan had become as the united states, a stronghold in most strong stronghold in asia, especially to continue the united states, germany, the counter influenced by russia, the counter influenced by india even. and even if something is fundamental is changing and reinterpreting, the japanese constitution was floated by the other during his premier ships. so this is just kind of paying back all of the terrible service that since they had done to the united states ruling class in making japan even more subservient to the united states. this is just more evidence of that

truly. and how has japan responded to these diplomatic moves by the us? well, i think japan, you know, i think there has to be a differentiation made between the people in japan and the government of japan. if you look at the governmental history of japan, it's been dominated by one party, the liberal democratic party, with a little bit of alteration of powder power. but you know, the same political parties that received funding directly from the united states covertly, whether it's cia or other international obligations has remained in power. so i think, you know, it, it's, i think the government perhaps has reacted positively. but i think at best the japanese public has in clayton difference. the u. s. department recently said that the country's partnership with japan is a quote, cornerstone of stability in the endo pacific region. and there's no secret that

they are trying to counter what they believed to be a threat posed by china. would you agree that they are a cornerstone spirit in the region? well, i would say that the united states, japanese relationship has been a cornerstone of instability in asia. i think, as you said, i think it is nothing more than a way for them to counter what they see as a rise of china and to a lesser extent, india, anything that is kind of a counter to us, a gemini across the world. you know, china and india are huge growing economy, as they say, pose the majority of the bricks partnership. they are continuing the site for most people are world anything away from, you know, polarity u. s. a gemini. and so i think that this is,

i think that is not only detrimental to people interest in japan, but also across asia and across the pacific. and australia has been brow beaten against making deals with china by the united states. and as i said, there was even an effort by sions or a to change the japanese constitution article 9 of the japanese constitution to allow them to engage in a sense of wars or as they call the japanese self defense forces would then be able to engage in international conflict, which is strictly prohibited by the japanese constitution, this was obviously a push by the united states once again to counter with the rise of china in the region and across the world. i certainly remember that that was a huge deal of the time. that discussion of change in the japanese constitution. i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it. that dakota lay. it was a pleasure talking to you on the latest.
