how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk with the 7 civilians are reportedly killed and 60 injured as the ukranian army hits a town in the south region. local authorities say u. s. delivered high precision weapons. we used to mean wiley, your officials on the alarm over ukraine bound western weapons ending up on the black markets in the continent. security at risk australia rejects the plans, suggested by china to restore relations between the 2 countries. saying that camera doesn't respond to demands. also coming up on the program. the european union is

looking to, pun, historic, amounts of get out of africa. not just for trade. it's mean promises that also winning little benefit to the local african leaders flood, 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 and peter scott. these the top stories this hour so the civilians have reportedly being killed and 60 injured to after ukraine stroke. the city of nova kafka in russian controlled a 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 hi mas rocket auxilary, causing a massive blast 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 on 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 the officials claim a child was killed. ukrainian authorities say they targeted a russian ammunition deco local resident living close to the scene film. this video of her damaged apartment the the

media well, the united nation has responded to the deadly explosions and condemns the shelling of civilian infrastructure over the organisation as one of 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. a similar instance have been largely 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, and 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 block market. this does come up, the roof is warnings that western weapons are already 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 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 its 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 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 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 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 1st raise interest when we must bridging proposed for steps to strengthen rapport with cambrai, including treating china as a partner rather than arrival on seeking common ground. while acknowledging differences between the 2 countries. the plan also included in agreements not to targets any 3rd party, all be manipulated by a 3rd party, as well as building a positive and pragmatic social foundations. yes, julian pm said that camera won't respond to quote chinese demands and will stand up for the country's national interests. now this does come, 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. beijing

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 . much robson says that the australian response to china's proposal was encouraged by washington because they corporate walk in 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 push it to their own business community and a lot of sensible trillions that they should have good relations with china. and in fact, the chinese demand 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 us, when it 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. it's not in the straight is interest. it's not in the world interest, it's a very dangerous escalation, industry, and it's government just let the new zealand government playing dangerous game and playing with the lives quite frankly, their own populations. 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 at the same time saying to try and older will talk. you will be reasonable, but the actions are saying otherwise. so they can't have it both ways. it's going to, but they can't. the united states, new zealand in japan of 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're told while they're

colonial masters times are changing. and that's what's at the bottom of the discord in this pacific 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. and is the continuation to build up the militarization so very dangerous for el paso, the will dangerous for the world. while some western states continue to encourage countries around the world to take an anti russian stance, 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 burrell 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 western media could have something to do with it. it could also be some countries have seen enough underhanded and manipulative behavior, leading to western back regime change under the guise of spreading democracy. freedom and humanitarianism that they no longer believe western narratives. busy oh. busy busy busy oh russian foreign affairs mister sergey love. rob has said that the west has buried

freedom of speech with its own hands. western nations blocked in band russian media and pressured their allies worldwide to do the same. they smeared the journalist 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 on line since the bands, 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 announced a new online safety bill, strengthening, press protections, it specifically mentioned that the new measures would exclude the work of r,

t and splitting 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, lodgement my career working in the mainstream. and i've covered probably 789 shooting boards. i've never seen that come a coverage so i totally consume, i'll sonoma, your jingle is ah, and of manipulator jim original as this one. and that's one. nothing should be trust. the most watch cable in these 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 on ukraine are now facing the funding, andy platforming. and now that morale admits disappointment in the failure of their efforts. what are they gonna do? double down on their fails 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 they're successfully filling are apparently themselves or a dk desirae to of the geopolitical economy, research groups. she says that western attempts to pin the blame from multiple problems on russia of 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 west 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 bobbo of brussels. and out of the bubble of the g 7, 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, and 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. processed in the netherlands was followed by the government's plan to slash pollution emissions by half by 2030. the reforms include reducing livestock on buying farms that produce large amounts of ammonia from the protesting bomb if they be unfairly targeted and even robbed of their future business driven fathers have joined their colleagues in blocking off traffic on the border between the 2 countries. the process i'm dumb suited security policies, which farmers has that has fired germany and then other lines are among the world's leading agricultural exports. us and europe. screen agenda has backfired, not only its 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 all these policies. leah explains. this last year the western world came together and played to britain in t 2 t fossil fuel. but it see if they change their mind. european union is looking to pump historic amounts of gas out of africa, not just the train. it's clean 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 safe to invest in 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 give example, big fossil fuel giants, including exxon b, p, and shell, of spending billions,

most and beak, 10, vignette, and synagogue to extract more guests, most of which will be sent to us. and that's trained only looks to increase back in april. it's signed a new deal for gasoline, gold, and congo. while germany is looking to secure supplies from st ago. it's not sure that the e u is coming to africa to plunder what it means 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, and l n g capacity. yet 70 percent of people still live without access to electricity. and then of course, they, the host that these nations will be left high and dry once the energy quite as easy . and the e u. we commits itself to green energy up to all the bits that gas demand for the cheapest thing back, 2030. then what your opinion companies will leave and nations on the african

continent will be left behind with dumped production facilities. and the reduced market oldest has pushed african needed to call out the sudden interest in the research as a double standard, that perpetuates the waste exploitation of this region. they sending out a simple message, we are not your 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 critic save adulthood old colonial this mindset. is it any surprise that african, navi china, not the waste as the greatest ally. after all, the multi $1000000.00 project had improved 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 our team and war on the topic of guster, a fresh concerns in the you. off the russia holds the flow of gas through the not seen one pipeline to germany for 10 days due to scheduled maintenance on germany. the vice chancellor says that european countries need to agree to tighten a belt that 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 3. warner flows directly from russia to germany through the baltic sea and is a key energy pipeline for berlin. last month that 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 struggling to pay the heating bills. germany is reportedly planning to create public wins that warm up spaces to help those struggling with costs. we asked the local authorities in several german sounds about that's initiative and officials in the town of franklin fall in the south west in germany, photos, the organizing warm of 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 hammer, has suggested that the way out of the ever growing energy prices can be found at the bottom of the bustle. it's so bad them. if we continue like this now try it on their own to options for you afterwards. alcohol, or psycho tropic drugs, and i say the whole is basically all kate gen list them political analysts

lucrative a says it's becoming harder for european officials to justify their sanctions against russia. their own tax pays on votes as 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 getting into recession, we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, in europe, 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 gas to replace russian 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 out of buying this princess, but also, for example,

sequel and what you know, in france has set 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, you know, very difficult for the politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare us really for rationing that we probably come in the auto and finally, the family of slain al jazeera journalists, 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 or 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 raid on a palestinian refugee camp in the west bank. she was shot dead during armed clashes despite clearly wearing a blue press vest. the un human rights office broke 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. so levine has not held any one 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. use this as it is somewhat of a nuisance and not 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 it's essentially said that trusted israel to investigate this case and said that it had the wherewithal. busy 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 talk, human rights organization. this was a whitewash wants. the united states state department said that it calls 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 mount up against the israeli forces, but just that assessing intent was the u. s. 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 palestinian question has been undermined for the us fight administration. there's just no urgency. who is the main story? is this our do had over thoughts? you dot com or our social media pages from on any of those stories we just covered . monitor be to scott and it's been great to have you with us. thank you for watching. ah, ah,

nice to come to russian state flow. never. i've stayed on the north lansky with . okay, so mine is 2000 speedy with rural van in the european union. the kremlin, yup. machines. the state on russia today and split ortiz sport that came in our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with me. ah,

ah, ah. a welcome to wells apart. as the warning ukraine approaches it 6 months mark, the only party that seems to be eager and willing to meet it is tricky, which is all the more astonishing, given that current continues selling weapons to your brain and growing it straight as russia. well, also remaining a willing, although

a bit disruptive member of nato is there is something about design, guys that present everyone understands and others don't want to discuss it. i'm now joined by a researcher and they set a foundation for political, economic and social research in ankara. is they're all still great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you very much. now, one of the most i cited and popular metaphor is in turkey, political very natural or is that a breach a breach that's been east and west? that's been political religiosity, and secularism, etc. and while i don't think that turkish policy is as break, i think it can be pretty cynical terms. i do think it's remarkable in a sense of being able to reconcile the reconcile and hold the office is that other countries are not able to hold. what do you attribute that you? well, i personally don't like the metaphor of being a bridge. and there were periods that toki preferred other metaphors rather

than a bridge based on based on that trust for me. i will do a full me perception of their road capacity and power. that's why the ra, a number of people who don't agree with the medical bridge, and i'm one of them. okay, which one you prefer for the current times? which metaphors the thing describes the current stance of turkey, the bad random metaphor for, for a very long time, many turks preferred rather more a rather more active role attributes to attributes, to so as being a bridge is kind of a passive metal. it's basically bridges something where, you know, vehicle, you know, people just, you know, pass over. so turkey does not obviously want to be such as a passive and being it has its own.
