[000:00:00;00] a with several civilians are reportedly killed and dozens injured after the ukrainian army hit the town in the region. local authorities say u. s. high precision weapons we used your officials on the law of ukraine bound, western weapons ending up on the black market from within the continent. security risk also coming up on the program. european union is looking to the story come out to get out of africa,

not just the plain. it's mean promises that also bringing little benefit to the local african leaders. alarm europe rushed to by african natural gas while seemingly having no plans to invest in local infrastructure. and russian gas is no longer flowing to germany through the node stream pipeline juicer, scheduled maintenance, mid spiraling energy crisis in europe with officials blaming bosco for the problems and ignoring the counter effects of sanctions. ah, but you live from our headquarters here in moscow. you're watching our see international, it's just going to 6 am. my name is peter scott and wherever you joining us from, welcome to the program. several people were reportedly killed and dozens injured after ukraine stroke. the city of nova kafka in russian controlled

territory. local authorities claim us provided weapons were used in the attack. a huge explosion was captured by eye witnesses. the local authorities claim a potassium nitrates warehouse was blown up in the attack using us made high mas rockets, artillery, causing a massive blast which had the surrounding area. hundreds of apartments were partially destroyed and damaged with the explosion. also allegedly damaging a local hospital. though the exact number of casualties is not yet confirmed, but local authority to claim a child was also killed in the explosion. ukrainian, or authority states where the russian, idaho, there was targeted local residents. living close to the scene filmed this video of her destroyed volumes.

the media the united nations has responded to the deadly explosions any condemns the showing of civilian infrastructure. however, the organisation as well as the pentagon, refused to comment on where the u. s. delivered weapons were used enough to talk the quarter right to the international action center activist group sarah flounder says she's not surprised about the lack of reaction from the west. similar incidents have been largely ignored since the start of the conflict in 2014. we now for 8 years ukrainian forces and fascist not see forces were shelling done at school and lugens and shelling. really the forces

of what were the russian population of ukraine. this was unrelenting in the don bass. 14000 people died and yet it was never acknowledged, well known fact documented again and again. and now we see continuing in this stage of the war. but this is a war that has been going on since 2014 and earlier even but of direct intervention and directly targeting civilians using terror against civilians as a real weapon. so the weapons are getting larger, more intense, more dangerous, and through it all, the un has said and done very little. meanwhile, your official, so ukraine bound to weapons will be legally small, go to the black markets. this comes off, the roof is warnings that western weapons are all ready for sale and in used by

radical groups in the middle east. one of you officially was speaking anonymously 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 prevented. now. this comes as western states continue to supply large amounts of weapons to key if on the screen on this graphic here, you can see just how many heavy weapons ukraine has received to date. now that is in addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions, and portable weapons systems, the total amount of western ministry, equipments, and weapons does amounts around $38000000000.00. according to semester, miss sarah found it again says the advanced weapons delivered ukraine. just put the euro risk the research real as even the ukranian forces us forces russian forces. every one admits that these weapons are out there. they are

accessible from the very beginning when ukraine opened its armories. but now with much more advanced and dangerous weapons, it puts, all of europe are 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 u. s. continuing it's dangerous threats around the world by crediting simply anonymous groups when they create in growing chaos. though, this is a dangerous plan and yet the military industry is operate guaranteed profit. they don't care what happens for the weapons. is it make money for them? that is the way they look at their war. or despite earlier plans to reduce fossil fuel consumption, europe has turned to the african continent to secure more gas supplies. for the plans are seemingly of little benefits locals with no ames to invest in

infrastructure. there are these policy via x as a port slee, excuse me, explains that last year. western world came together and played to britain entity duty fossil fuels. but it seems they've changed, they mind. the european union is looking to hon. historic amounts of gas out of africa. not us, but train it's mean promises, but also bringing little benefit to the locals. as you appears, use african gas to warm the homes. almost 800000000 africans still live without electricity. and the e. u doesn't look state 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 example, big fossil fuel giants, including exxon b, p, and shell, are spending billions in mozambique, tanzania, and synagogue to extract more gas, most of which will be seen to europe. and it's trained only looks to increase. back

in april, italy signed a new deal for gasoline, gold, 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 by ramping up oil production, it's getting african economies back in mozambique, foreign companies, led by any and total energies, have invested nearly $30000000000.00 in developing offshore natural gas reserves, and l n g capacity. yet 70 percent of people still live without access to electricity. and then of course these, the horse that these nations will be left high and dry once the energy crisis uses . and the e u. we commits itself to green energy after all, the e u expensive gas demands to for 30 percent by 2030. then what european companies will leave and 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 width 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 talk of ships, as europe continues to not practise what it preaches, and critic, se resort to its old colonialist mindset. is it any surprise that africans, narvie china? not the waste, as the greatest ally athwart a multi $1000000.00 project, whose the lives of local, from providing bridges to hospital to intimate. it seems as though the patience of african nations may have moved

a little to sudden and they looking around for new allies who give as much as they take with our team. while we're on the topic of go through our fresh concerns in the you after russia halted the flow of gas through the old stream, one pipeline to germany for 10 days. that's due to scheduled maintenance. germany's vice chancellor says the european countries need to agree to tighten a belt in an attempt to get through expects and shortages. however, the pipelines maintenance was agreed by all sides in advance and will last until the 21st of july. not seen one flows directly from russia to germany through the baltic sea and is a key energy pipeline for berlin. last month, russia reduced the pipelines capacity by 40 percent after saying that some key hardware needed for the gas root is being held up by western sanctions. the pipeline does account for around half of germany's gas imports are contributed. rachel mazda has more no story. germany economy minister, robert havoc express concerns de russia. we need gas supplies 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, we're on the cusp 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. but we know lemaire hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have any 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 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 in, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute, when it went gung ho sanctioning its own gas supply for russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of nord stream 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's energy company o m v also report a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction writes 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 bit off more than the can q. it's kind of like that teenager who runs away from home, gets halfway down is on the street and starts panicking over is i'm foolish decision, a journalist and political unless lou greevich says it's becoming harder for european officials to justify the sanctions against russia, their own taxpayers on voters, all the politicians in europe, i trying to explain the, the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and years. probably all in it, we're getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, you're a point 5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and of the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the locomotive of european economy of european industry, even if they could find out gas to replace rush and gas,

this would have to be paid not in, you know, anymore, but in dollars. and we don't print dollars a year. so it's going to get worse and worse, you have a voice is come, i can find this princess, but also for example, sequel in what yeah. in from who has sent for one, something crucial that the, the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and that she could not understand why we impose sanctions dot harmless, much more than russia. so it's getting very difficult for the politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare a sway before rationing that are probably come in the auto. meanwhile, a german princess has accused bill in of hypocrisy over its selective approach to severing business ties with russia. in contrast to several, the countries yeah, happened. bish last. we decided that we didn't want to buy anything else from the russians. the americans force us 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 hypocrisy. because we have been explaining to people for weeks that we can get anything from them because he cannot 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's a lot of ideology behind us. can we afford so much ideology? and the question asking is, who benefits from all this? i've called all the scores, but with the european energy crisis deepening, more people are struggling to pay their heating bills. germany is reportedly planning to create public windsor warm up spaces to help those struggling with costs. we asked the local authorities in several german towns about the initiative . officials in the town of front control in southwestern, germany told us the organizing woman's own. it's is just one of many possible

options. other neighboring towns are reportedly also considering of the scenarios, including turning off lights in public buildings and even traffic lights, at least at nights in order to save energy. will over in neighboring austria chancellor. telnet, hama has suggested that their way out of the ever growing energy crisis. it could be found at the bottom of a bottle. it's of anthem ahem. if we continue like this now try them. there are only 2 options for you afterwards. what ups, alcohol, or psycho tropic drugs that i say stockholders basically ok. moving on now, australia has rejected a 4 point piece plan suggested by china in order to restore the relationship between the 2 countries. australian doesn't respond to demand, so we respond to national interest. i'll say this way, we will cooperate with china where we can, i want to build good relations with all countries, but we will stand up for

a strong interest when we must. beijing proposed 4 steps in order to strengthen rapport with cambrai, including treating china as a partner rather than arrival and seeking common ground, while acknowledging differences. the plan also included an agreement not to target any 3rd party or be manipulated by any other 3rd party, as well as building positive and pragmatic social foundations. now the australian pm said cambra won't respond to quote chinese demands and will stand up for the country's national interests. this, of course, comes ahead of the 51st pacific islands forum this week in fiji. under mid growing tensions between the u. s. and china and the region, washington is concerned over parts beijing signed with the solomon islands and beijing says the deal is crucial for maintaining security in the solomon islands. as well as this development through a stronger partnership with china. or to flesh is outlets cross live now to much robson,

a former deputy foreign minister of new zealand. welcome to the program much. now why do you think australia outright refused china's proposal now to establish better relations with camera camera? because they caught between a walk in a hard place, the following the dictates of the united states as a deputy show for the region. the throne they locked in with the previous government, allow the new labor government at the same time, they have pressure to their own business community and a lot of sensible straightens, that they should have good relations with china. and in fact, the chinese demands, they're nothing like the moms, the sensible proposals from china that you have between sovereign countries to accept that there may be differences, but to act in a normal and a peaceful way between the countries. so what it is doing is signaling to the united states, we are accepting the order that we confront china, that we part of the aggressive act against china. the militarization of the pacific

is not an interest in the world's interest. well, it did seem like quite general suggestions. let's put it that way from china. do you think the main sticking point was the 3rd proposal not to control or be controlled by a 3rd party. choosing a thinly veiled disguise, hinting as possible, other arrange like or cuz for example, well just being quite since hosted as seduced. look, we're not controlled by anybody else by should straighten. can we please have normal relations between countries which they used to her until there's new offensive by the noted states and later across the world. not against russia, but now it's extended off the madrid go before madrid, actually later conference to the pacific and 1st radio. but since got a very high level military expenditure under the pressure of the knotted states,

just to be part of this overall plan. so it's, it's a very dangerous escalation and history. and it's government just to let the new zealand government playing dangerous game and playing with the lives for printed their own population. so in light to this recent rejection of those proposals by china, do you see any chance of relations between china, australia, improving in the near future under the new p. m. will not only continue in this way and the same for new zealand, illustrated both to china is the big trading partner of those countries. but politically, they're under pressure from the united states, which is constantly in the region. lincoln comes and campbell comes and puts demands upon them and astray, to and new zealand continue in this way. and they're taking part, for instance, in this huge military exercise room pac off out of the way, which is aimed at both china, north korea. and of course, ultimately russia as well,

and that's an aggressive step at the same time they're saying to china owner will told you will be reasonable. but the actions are saying otherwise. so they can't have it both ways is going to, but they can't. and as i mentioned, obvious interest in that package, then there is the upcoming pacific islands for and what's your expectations for in terms of washington beijing relations in lights of this form, this co coming well good forms already in trouble because 4 countries work from come the number of reasons, already the defections from it. the pressure is on the pacific countries to fall into to line in the small countries trying to find their own way and had normal ations with china. many of them. but the united states, straighter and zealand and japan have joined in this thing called the partners in the blue pacific, which is a continuation, basically,

a colonial policy for the pacific countries to do what they are told. while they colonial masters, new zealand, the sending one of the foreign ministers, marty, and the deputy pacific minister is descended from sarmens. but they're being asked to follow the same old colonial policy. and that is that they talk nicely to these countries. you do what we say and times are changing, and that's what's at the bottom of the discord in the specific form. it's really a continuation of 900 century imperialism and colonialism on the part of a straight in new zealand, united kingdom and the united states. at the top of this, with japan allowed to come in those honory european countries away. and is the continuation to build up the militarization so very dangerous for the will. dangerous for the world. a former deputy foreign minister of new zealand ma robson . thank you very much. your insight to day on those ongoing developing relations

between australia. unkind. thank you very much. pleasure with guns forces have captured a group of bellow, russians who were allegedly preparing a terrorist attack in the c chance local official claims. the fighters were part of a special belly russian nationalist military unit that was established by those who fought in the dunbar for kiev. since the beginning of the crisis as part of the right sector nationalist movement, this is to look this 3rd force, which is today, taking part in a punitive operation against the residence of don bass was created back in 2014 from units that were part of the right sector, which is banned in russia and in the loo, ganske, and no net sick republic. so this is a terrorist organization and is subject to destruction feeling some other i think there is claim to be one of the most radical ukrainian ultra nationalist movements alongside the us off battalion which has repeatedly tried to shed lights on the issue of far rights. extreme as an in ukraine, including during

a recent inform meeting of the un security council. resurrection of nazism and you cream, didn't happen overnight. one needs to recall that fascism in the form of hit, the 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 ford year old. the support and trends are an offspring and the shocking reincarnation of denies the ideology of an interim inch a. so called sub human. this is holden, these is used to label this loves the bowls, the jews, the gypsies, and all this is happening to the russia speakers in ukraine and the eco sack chamber of the un headquarters. we had the un mission of russia presenting a lot of evidence of war crimes committed by the far right ultra nationalist elements in the ukraine. now it's important to know so that this meeting of the un

security council, an informal meeting, was called by russia and added, we heard from academics, international lawyers and others who documented atrocity has been committed against civilians. as well as the prevalence of neo nazi ideology in ukraine. now, a lot of evidence was presented when, however, the united states and the ide kingdom dismissed at all as being utterly false. for no other reason than russia stated in russia is not only conducting a war of aggression against ukraine. it is conducting a war on truth and a war on history. president putin absurdly claims he is. d, not so fine ukraine. in fact, he is engaged in a neo imperialist war and is showing no respect for the sovereignty of, of the nations of the sanctity of human life. russia continues to abuse. it's council seat to hold meetings at 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 nazi, isn't and violent, extreme as. and it is a cynical attempt by russia to use the council as a platform for its still propaganda. and to justify its a brutal, unprovoked and premeditated war of aggression against ukraine, we reject russia's repeated efforts to restore history for its own political purposes. now, among the countries i spoke of after the presentation by the guests of the russian mission, we did hear from various countries and not all countries echoed what the usa had to day and dismissing outright the well documented claims. one country that was pretty clear in taking the floor and taking a stand in supportive russia and what it had to say was venezuela. here's what that way, leigh had to say before the united nations. he goes doc chamber, the, whatever republican venezuela has been expressing its deep concern of the grow in proliferation expansion and devastating impact of start 10 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 starts in human beings are superior to others. although we thought they have 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. it was quite an interesting presentation. a lot of documented back a lot of videos shown confirming the pro, not the nature of many element elements that are most of the, for any and military. i was a very important meeting. russia 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 us and the u. k. consider it to be a waste of time to the how the world's looking at 6 30 am moscow time. i hope you weeks off to a great start time pizza. scott,

i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories in about half an hour's time. i'll see you then ah, ah, ah ah

ah ah ah my diana liberty, she'll know what was shall the portion of my down in that awful do you shide the court? where did you wanna put a shell, norwalk, with a question, not in the pony, she really surely was near please. no i for the most of them will be stupid with the family i'm to consider. so only goes to justin if you model it was wrong. so home, they call you beast, for me, think that it was for them. quit the unicoi without us because she, she knew, mean yet, russian speaking, se ukraine refused to accept the cruise outcome people took to the streets of

ukraine's larger cities. that had been protests in hoc of odessa. mario pope and zappa irosia. oh, mass protest broke out in the crimean autonomous republic and overwhelming majority of crimean citizens voted as a referendum to break away from ukraine. i did march 2014 crimea, rejoined russia. or chester crimean the splitting your one can see how much was mrs. cortnero's, which is all there is a dear good year or is it there with it? there is, a theory is less for you to put oversee skin is raina mean, belittle dominantly criminal, vasa, or chess of crackers. a bottle of nibbler, patrol's cat or a dish whose deborah was mantle his port, orange gulf. once honest with nationalist, tried to suppress bro russian public sentiment with extreme violence on may. the
