ah, a ah, with 7 civilians are reportedly killed and 60 injured as the ukrainian army hits a town in the region. local authorities say us delivered high precision weapons we used. meanwhile, li, your officials on the alarm over ukraine bound the western weapons ending up on the black market in the continent. security at risk australia rejects the

plans suggested by china to restore relations between the 2 countries, saying that cambra doesn't respond to demands. also coming up on the program, the european union is looking to pump this story, amount of gas out of africa. not just for train, it's mean promises, but also winning little benefit to the local african leaders. slum europe's rush to buy african natural gas was seemingly having no plans to invest in local infrastructure with moscow to the world. this is our international. i peter scott. he's the top stories based, our southern civilians have reportedly being killed and 60 injured to after ukraine stroke. the city of novia kafka in russian control the territory local authorities claim us provided weapons were used enough to talk. a

huge explosion was captured by witnesses. the local authorities claim a potassium nitrates warehouse was blown. open the attack using us made high mas rockets, auxilary, causing a massive blasts which hit the surrounding area. hundreds of apartments were reported, destroyed and damaged with the explosion. also allegedly damaging a local hospital. you can certainly see on the screen the latest pictures from the city this morning where minor explosions are still reported. the exact number of casualties has not yet been confirmed, but officials claim a child was killed. ukrainian authorities say they targeted a russian ammunition demco, one local resident, living close to the scene of film. this video of her damaged apartment

the media the united nations has responded to the deadly explosions and condemns the shilling of civilian infrastructure over that organisation as well as the pentagon have refused to comment on where the u. s. delivered weapons were used in the attack. co director of the international action center activist group, sarah flounders says she's not surprised about the lack of reaction from the west. similar instance have been launched ignored since the start of the conflict back 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. in wiley, your officials say ukraine bound weapons will be illegally smuggled to the black markets. this does come after russia's warnings that western weapons are all ready

for sale and, and used by radical groups in the middle east. one of your officially was speaking anonymously claimed is simply impossible to prevent weapons smuggling. 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. now this comes as western states continue to supply large amounts of weapons to keep new screens. now in this graph, you can see just how many heavy weapons ukraine has received to date. and that's in addition to tens of thousands of firearms, munitions, and portable missile systems. the total amount of western military equipments and weapons amounts to around $38000000000.00 us dollars. according to some estimates, sarah founder's again says advance weapons delivered to ukraine is putting the whole of europe at risk. the risk, very real as even the ukranian forces us forces russian forces. everyone admits

that these weapons are out there, they're accessible. and from the very beginning, when ukraine opened its armories, 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 a way of the u. s. continuing it's dangerous threats around the world by crediting simply anonymous groups. when they create growing chaos, though, this is a dangerous plan and yet the military industry is operate guaranteed profit. they don't care what happens to the weapons, is it make money for them? that is the way they look at their war and moving on. now, australia has rejected a 4 point piece plan,

suggested by china to restore relations between the 2 countries. a strategy doesn't respond to demand, so we respond to our national interest. i'll say this way, we will cooperate with china, where we can want to build good relations with all countries, but we will stand up frustration interest when we must fishing, proposed 4 steps to strengthen rapport with cambrai, including treating china as a partner rather than arrival and seeking common ground while acknowledging differences between the 2 countries, the plan also included in agreements not to targets any 3rd party or be manipulated by the policy as well as building a positive and pragmatic social foundations. yes, julian, p. m said that camera won't respond to quote chinese demands and will stand up for the country's national interests. now this does comb, of course, ahead of the 51st pacific islands for this week in fiji. and as well as the mid

growing tensions between the u. s. and china in the region, washington is concerned over parts beijing signed with the solomon islands. the jing says the deal is crucial for maintaining security in the solomon islands, as well as developments through a stronger partnership with china or former deputy foreign minister of new zealand months. robson says that the australian responds to china's proposal was encouraged by washington because they caught between a walk in a 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. now 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. what affinity is doing is signaling to the united states. we are accepting the order that we confront china, that we part of the aggressive pact against china. the militarization of the pacific is not an australia is interests not in the world and it's a very dangerous escalation. industry and it's government just to let the new zealand government play a dangerous game and playing with the lives quite frankly, of their own populations. politically. they're under pressure from the united states, which is constantly in the region of lincoln comes and campbell comes and puts demands upon them. at the same time, they're saying to china owner, we'll talk, you will be reasonable, but the actions are saying otherwise. so they can't have it both ways is trying to, but they can't. the united states straight to the new 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're colonial masters times are changing. and that's what's at the bottom of the discord in this specific form. it's really a continuation of line 100 century imperialism and colonialism on the part of a trade in new zealand, united kingdom, and the united states at the top of this. and is the continuation to build up the militarization so very dangerous for help out of the will. dangerous for the world . while some western states continue to encourage countries around the world taken on the russians, dunn's the e. u foreign policy chief joseph barrow says they are losing the quotes, propaganda bustle, but on how to move forward and on. the consequences of the war views differ sharply . the g 7 and like minded countries are united in condemning and sanctioning russia and in trying to hold the regime accountable. but other countries and we can speak

here of the majority of the global self, often take a different perspective. the global battle of narratives is in full swing and for now we are not winning. it's amazing, but european union officials can learn when the venture outside of their brussels bubble browse, speaks of a global battle narratives that you is not winning. it's a tacit admission that there's a concerted effort to turn the world against russia. so why are western efforts of narrative control failing? the plummeting confidence in wester media could have something to do with it. it could also be some countries have seen enough underhanded and manipulate behavior, leading to western back regime change under the guise of spreading democracy, freedom and humanitarianism that they no longer believe western narratives. busy busy oh. busy oh,

russian foreign affairs minister, sir gay love raw, has said that the west has buried freedom of speech with its own hands. western nations blocked and band russian media and pressured their allies world wide to do the same. they smeared the journalists whose alternative voices were heard as a result of these platforms. by the way, it apparently isn't working too well since our t and specific audiences have shot up online since the benz, according to a new microsoft report. it makes sense that people would want to see other and hear other views and information that they know they're being denied through western government censorship. even after all, efforts to reduce traffic to sputnik news in r t dot com, consumption of russian propaganda still higher than before the war. some western governments have gone so far out of their way to violate basic principles of the free press. that when the british government analysed

a new online safety bill strengthening, press protections, it specifically mentioned that the new measures would exclude the work of r t and foot. dick journalists, these supposed democracies have been doing everything we can to marginalize narratives that deviate from their own western media. veterans have commented on the veracity of the narrative control efforts, lunch when my career working in the mainstream. and i've covered probably 789 shooting boards. i've never seen the come a coverage. so actually consume are. so normally your jingle is ah, and of manipulator jim garrison as this one. and that's one, nothing should be trust. the most watch cable in the show in america also sat up and took notice. so they're using this opportunity, this war in eastern europe to shut down domestic descent in the united states. if

we're going to protect democracy, that should start at home. and democracy is defined literally defined by the tolerance of the regime for descent, independent journalists who deviate from the western narrative. i'm ukraine are now facing the funding and he platforming. and now that morale admits disappointment in the failure of their efforts. what are they gonna do? double down on their fail strategy by further cracking down on dissenting voices in violation of their own stated values of freedom of speech and of the press. the only people there successfully fooling or apparently themselves, or a d could decide, directs her of the geopolitical economy research group. she says that western attempts to pin the blame for multiple problems on russia as simply not working. burrell statement tells me, is that now it's very clear that the west is not even winning the propaganda war. and the reason is very simple, because on the ground, russia is winning,

in terms of military forces. and also, as the situation is evolving, the wes attempts to blame russia for what's going on, whether it is food inflation, fuel inflation, whatever, whatever's going on, whatever the west is trying to pin on russia. it's not working. the rest of the world is not seeing it. so mister burrell is forced into these reflections because he is out of bubble off brussels. and out of the bubble of the g 7, that mister burrell actually having to admit that the west is losing the propaganda war. is a big signal of defeat because they are also defeated a number of other friends, the west always claims that it is for democracy. but in reality, what they mean by democracy is a situation in which a country agrees to abide by all the rules that are favorable to western,

particularly american corporations. and that's, that's just, that's just been the way it has been for a very long time. amid the ongoing energy crisis, european governments are shifted their domestic attention towards green policies, proposing new reforms. the changes have led to several process in multiple countries. process in the netherlands was followed by the government's plan to flash pollution emissions by half by 2030. the reforms include reducing livestock on buying farms that produce large amount of ammonia from the protecting farm is to say the beacon fatty target isn't even robbed of their future. business driven fathers have joined their colleagues in blocking off traffic on the border between the 2 countries. to process the dumb suited security policies, which farmers have said had fired germany and then other lines are among the world's leading agricultural exports. us and europe. screen agenda has backfired,

not only at home butts abroad as well, despite earlier plans to reduce fossil fuel consumption. europe has turn to the african continent to secure more gas supplies. both the funds are seemingly of little benefits, locals with no ames to invest in infrastructure as ortiz, a policy a explains. this last year the western world came together and played to britain in fossil fuel. but it see if they've changed their mind. european union is looking to pump historic amounts of get out of africa, not just the train. it's going promises, but also bringing little benefit to the local. as you opinions, use african gas to warn the homes. almost 800000000 africans still live without electricity. and the e. u doesn't look state to local infrastructure. the gas goes from here to europe, to power homes in industries there, but we get no benefits from it. nothing comes to us. just to keep example,

big fuel giants, including exxon b, p, and shell, are spending billions and most, and big 10 vignette and synagogue to extract more gas, most of which will be sent to us. and that's trained only looks to increase back in april. it's really signed a new deal for gasoline go la and congo, while germany is looking to secure supplies from fin ago. it's not sure that the e u is coming to africa to plunder what it needs in time 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, and l n. g capacity. yet 70 percent of people still live without access to electricity. and then of course, phase the house that these nations will be left high and dry once the energy quite easily. and the e u. we commits itself to green energy after all that fits that guest amount to 30

percent back, 2013. then what your opinion companies will leave and nations on the african continent will be left behind with dumped production facilities and a reduced markers. all this has pushed african needed to call out the sudden interest in the research 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 or buy 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 partnership. at view of continues to not practise what is creatures and critics say was altered old colonialists mindset. is it any surprise that africans now be china, not the waste, as the greatest ally. after all,

the multi $1000000.00 project have improved the lives of local from providing bridges to hospitals to intimate. it seems as though the patience of african nations may have little to and, and they looking around for new allies who give as much as they take on team and war on the topic of guster. a fresh concerns in the u after rush holds the flow of gas through the notes from one pipeline to germany for 10 days due to scheduled maintenance and germany. vice chancellor says that european countries need to agree to tighten their bells than attempts to get through expected shortages. however, the pipelines maintenance was actually agreed by all sides in advance and will last until the 21st of july. no stream warner flows directly from russia to germany through the bowl 60 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 roots is being held up by western functions. now the

pipeline accounts around a half of germany's gas imports. with the european energy crisis deepening more people are still going to pay the heating bills. germany is reportedly planning to create public windsor warm up spaces to help those struggling with costs. we asked local authorities in several german towns about that initiative and officials in the town of frank control. in southwestern, germany, thought that organizing warm up zones is just one of many possible options. other towns are reportedly also considering other scenarios, including turning off lights in public buildings, uneven traffic lights at least nights, in order to save energy. in neighboring austria, chancellor called near hummer, has suggested that the way out of the ever growing energy prices can be found at the bottom of the bottle. it should read them of them. if we continue like this now are, there are only 2 options for you afterwards. alcohol, or psycho tropic drugs,

and i say ok the whole is basically ok to enlist on political analysts. lucretia says it's becoming harder for european officials to justify their sanctions against russia to their own tax pays 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 we're 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 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 coming to find this princess, but also for example, sequel 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 that harm us 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 we probably come in the auto. and finally, the family of slain al jazeera journal is sharina barkley has demanded to meet joe biding during the u. s. president's visits, israel later this week, the relatives of the palestinian american reporter who was shot dead. he may have accused washington of turning a blind eye is rolling a killing in the days and weeks since an israeli soldier killed serene. not only have we not been adequately consulted, informed and supported by

u. s. government officials. but your administration's actions exhibit an apparent intent to undermine our efforts toward justice and accountability for sharon's death. instead, the united states has been skulking toward the eraser 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 irene's killing and perpetuate impunity. or serene avo. eichler was fatally wounded on may . the 11th, while reporting on an israeli army rate on a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank, she was shot dead during armed clutches. despite clearly wearing a blue press vest, the un human rights office pro concluded she'd been killed by idea fire. however, the u. s. on this is really allies claim. there's no reason to believe the killing was intentional. sullivan has not held anyone. accountable journalist, a middle east analysts, roberts in law cash says it seems like washington is eager to sweep the incident under the road. i think the u. s. bided administration views. this incident is

somewhat of a nuisance. and that seems to be the way they're. they're treating them from the get go. the state department came out with a statement in which 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 bet, sell them 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 of free card by saying that there is no indication that they have to say

that this 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 you want 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 pulse in uniformity itself is not really a strong political force anymore. so the house can in question, has been undermined for the us fight administration. there's just no urgency. who is the main store? is this our do had over thought c dot com or our social media pages for more any of those stories we've just covered. mahnaz be to scott and it's been great to have you with us. thank you for watching. ah,

ah luis to come to rush in the state little narrative. i've stivers, i'm phoning north lansky with within the 50000. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with rural van in the european union. the kremlin. yup. machines. the state aunt rushes today and school ortiz sputnik given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with

me. ah, ah ah ah, yes, absolutely. okay. well, with this with

a push is much harold lanier, i mean look, is maturing. that was supposed to be left with a medium box on monday. um, are you familiar with why it was actually getting you can you move? yeah, i'm still place you in a shoe just a little community. sure. i know it was up here at the ball which can you with that was it it with

ah, [000:00:00;00] with
