mistake the law firm or international new center in moscow. this is our team that's good to our top story today. we begin with the latest on the ukraine conflict, local authority, se 7 civilians have been killed. an 80 more injured after ukrainian forces hit the city of, nor via cat golf care in the russian control territory of her son. this is some of the latest footage we've received showing the aftermath of the deadly attack. local authorities claim us made. hi mars multiple rocket launchers were used on cause the civilian casualties. a fertilizer warehouse took a direct hit and he's still on fire. we believe and be excluding the number of fatalities is likely to rise. as many people are said to be trapped or buried under rubble, one local residential living close to the scene film. this video of her destroyed apartment

i eat with . so the number of visitors may still grow in the city of norway. kafka, as several people are still unaccounted for, and people are still being admitted to hospitals with various degrees of injuries. now, according to local officials, a fertilizer warehouse with potassium, a nitrate was had that's native as the results of ukrainian a strike on monday. and as a result, several private residences are schools,

churches, morgan, and a half. the z o have been destroyed now. well, civilians are still being admitted to hospitals. a local coordinator for humanitarian aid says that a warehouse a storage facility with at least $35.00 tons of aid including food, had been destroyed as well. now local officials claimed that ukraine used american maids high mars multiple rocket launchers, 2 at sac, this city. meanwhile, ukrainian military officials claimed that they had a targeted and struck and ammunition depot, while the local administration says that officials and key, if you that said they were to sar, gets a fertilizer warehouse and did it intentionally, there are also say that the order was given by president zalinski himself, and here in the warehouses, potassium nitrate was also stored. i am pretty sure that those who were preparing this barbarian act knew about this and that it was their actual plan. they achieved

what they wanted. what happened is pretty much the same as what happened in bay route several years ago when many people died. now, washington is yet to comment on what happens in nova kafka, despite the abundance of information regarding the death office civilians and damage to civilian infrastructure. i mean, while american commercial satellite world view to was reportedly taken photos of no record of good just 3 days before the attack of the gray and military. it's a true purpose of this commercial satellite is unclear, but according to earlier reports, this is not the 1st time american commercial satellites are hovering over objects that are later being bombed by the ukrainian military. and so that was the case with the rushes that will stop region where an oil refinery was frog by drones. all . so oil rigs off the coast of the black. see the island? oh,

fuzz. mean the and the russian border city of bel girl as well. lancaster, if only u. s. state department has accused the kremlin of resorting to anti semitism when speaking about ukraine. washington called the russian normative about neo nazis in the country. quote, disinformation sing was being used to justify mosque was offensive when critics point out that ukraine's president viola dimmer zalinski, who on the 2019 election in ukraine with 73 percent of the votes, is jewish himself with family members who were killed by nazis. the kremlin disseminates false narratives attempting to deal jimmy's his jewishness. the kremlin falsely claims the worst nazis were actually jews, and seeks to down play the role of anti semitism in nazi ideology. fully accurate ations by washington, and indeed other western states fail to mention ukrainian neo nazi battalion such as of an adar, a recent speech by president landscape to the greek parliament given while beside 2

as of radical fighters received huge backlash from greeks. lawyers, lensky also compared the conflict in ukraine with the holocaust while addressing the israeli parliament. though even before the conflict began both the un on western media condemned ukrainian neo nazis for violating human rights. earlier we got to take off some investigative journalist working in dump 60 new and as is, but i use it in ukraine and so pretend that they do not exist and then they are not . the threat for, for me is just completely amazing. and they are really dangerous the, of the more ideologically phonetic and ukraine, a attendance where the 1st to shoot against civilians ended on boss in 2014, when the war begun. zelinski had, during years ago. and since then now people in,

he's government who are openly neo nazis. i mean to me through your oce we knew nazi the founder of one of these neo nazis battalions ease . now an advisor to the head of stuff of the, of the ukranian army. yeah. is it is he's a of you origin which doesn't change the fact that e as in these government, people who are opening new nazis. and for him it's not a problem. especially in 2014. when the sh 1st started on the sack, there was driving down the street and we were literally behind the lines for over a month. now, seas and nazis, i'm not even sure if you can call some of them deal because of their actual background. from the early spring in 2014 late winter 2014, they were murdering people across the us. and this should never stop the murder the

rate. well, sure, it's been a staple, as long as they've been around, and wherever they are, president biden is currently hosting the mexican leader at the white house that comes a month after under as manuel lopez abra door, snug, the summit of the americas for am organized by washington, he also recently said the western policy of sending weapons to ukraine has failed on suggest that the conflict could have been avoided. how easy it is to say here, i'll send you this much money for weapons. i provide the weapons and you provide the dead. it is immoral, couldn't the war in ukraine have been avoided? of course it could. the policy failed and look at the damage. it causes the loss of human lives. the issue of ukraine is very prescient in the mind of the united states and mexico. i am low called the involvement and the sanctioning of the

of the west a cross error. so it's, it's not just a matter of, of him disagreeing. it's a matter of him looking at it as an error. this is also push am low, closer to his latin american cohorts as we have been seeing what then about the american content itself recently, am low, decided to not attend the bite and democracy summit of the americas held in los angeles. and he decided this because of the exclusion of venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba. because the united states does not consider them democracies, but rather ad autocratic governments. this is why he decided not to attend in up with their champion summit of the americas. if not all countries of the american continent are taking part. it is very hypocritical of the united states because meanwhile they're trying to talk to venezuela to get some oil. because of the situation going on with the sanctions against russia, they refused to recognize nicholas. my daughter has a legitimate president. lopez over a door is taking

a stance and pretty much showing us that he is standing with latin america. and he's trying to get closer to those relationships and build upon them as well. no. one of the big issues, the stumbling blocks between the countries is always immigration. when such meetings happen, how is that issue developing at mexico has been telling the united states to provide temporary visas. and the reason that there's so much, so many of them stay here illegally is because once they go into the united states, they can't leave mexico to for mexico or will be unable to return to make that money. so this has been something that has been talked about since a bush administration in terms of that. and of course, recently we've seen the just the unfortunate advance in san antonio, texas with the death of migrants that were found in this truck in this trailer. and the vast majority of them were from mexico. so there's going to be that, that, that focus on curbing this, the u. s. is increasing mexico, violating human rights. why? so the united states is, is accusing mexico of,

of being at fault for the death of journalists of not spending enough to the drug problem. but imo, has particularly particularly denied this pretty much saying that he does not believe that he is at fault and pointing out the hypocrisy of the fact that the united states is the one persecuting a journalist. trying to extradite julian a sorry and giving him a whole life sentence. essentially trying to exert international jurisdiction over the free press. so they have no ground to stand on on this regard, sheila, you know, if he's brought to the us and given the maximum sentence of life in prison, a campaign should be launched to dismantle the statue of liberty in new york that was gifted by the french because it will no longer be a symbol of freedom. plenty. what else do you expect or should be discussed today at the meeting? electricity, the global climate energy crisis. there's 2 very different points of view. here the united states is pushing towards a green energy, and mexico, of course, has recently tried to nationalize their energy,

which he felt sure of doing. amola fell short of doing, but he was able to nationalize the lithium and that makes the united states uncomfortable via the private sector, the multinational corporations and the investment. and this is something that mexico is very proud of because they see this as reclaiming their sovereignty. being having the lithium there to use for the people of mexico and not to be exploited by outside forces. the red cross is sounding the alarm over the global food crisis. seeing parts about for again, the middle east star being hit, especially hard. the organizations director general says the conflict ukraine is further deepening the critical situation. sadly, we can expect to see more images under fed children in the coming weeks. as children are disproportionately affected by the food crisis in somalia, for example, the number of children under the age of 5 suffering from severe acute malnutrition, with medical complications increased by almost 50 percent compared to the same

period last year. according to a recent red cross report, a quarter of africa population does not have enough to eat leisure. and martinez produced 40 percent less food than the 5 year average. countries in the sahara region are in the midst of a severe dried enough janice, done the price for wheat flour, it's up 47 percent compared with the euro go not far behind cooking or 37 percent. it's off by the world food program estimates an additional $47000000.00 people will be lacking food this year compared to the past 12 months. the report comes prior to a 4 way meeting on wednesday coming between turkey, russia, ukraine, and the us on the issue of green supplies. the director general of the international committee of the red cross spoke to r t. robert martini believe you printing crisis has diverted attention all politicians away from suffering elsewhere in the world. the role of i, c r c, is to ensure that human suffering,

that does not happen despite armed culture. but what you have seen for humanitarian funding is really striking. we have seen this outpouring of generosity in your brain and a decline of humanitarian support elsewhere. i think most of our donors are acutely aware of the challenges globally in africa, in the middle east region in face like afghanistan. and they are trying hard to safeguard some of the funding for these regions. fact of the matter is the global economy in is in a such situation that it's, it's, it's hard so absolutely much more needs to be done. and 1st to be quite frank, what the i, c, r to expect is more political leadership to and conflict in the 1st place. because as long as conflicts are happening and are driving humanitarian needs up,

we are only addressing the symptoms of the problem and the right way to do it is to have a political leadership to an conflict in the 1st place, the un security count, this is a job of the un security council. and of course, in the meantime the i, c, r c and other who maintain organizations are ready to step up or the support. and this is what you're doing. ok, hefty moves on the financial markets. the euro moved to parity with the dollar for the 1st time in 20 years this tuesday and comes with some politicians in europe labeled a sanctions imposed on russians. a mistake stating at the continent has been hit harder done. moscow are to contribute. our rachel marston offers her thoughts on the sh. the leader, frances largest opposition party and parliament mapping the pen of the national rally party is sounding the alarm about the european union's anti russian sanctions . being more damaging to france than to russia and calling to sanctions, the root cause of inflation is some show i think

a bit more ease. sanctions against russia turned out to be completely ineffective. and this, in fact, sanctions have enriched russia. in particular, the french have been sanctioned more than the russians. so i think it's a big mistake that selzer of austria is getting the same bad vibes of as we have used to use the teachers on remains of if we continue like this. so there are only 2 decisions for you afterwards. alcohol or drugs, oxygen farm. and i would say alcohol is basically okay. these are. but why don't we take these officials word for it if anyone needs quantifiable proof that the u has weekend, it's on economy through sanctions. the euro is now almost exactly at parity with the u. s. dollar for the 1st time in 20 years. the use currency started plummeting against the greenback around the time and what not. and started handing out anti russian sanctions like halloween candy. and it's now down 12 percent since the beginning of this year. that's great news for americans, maybe who want to come hang out here in europe this summer,

but it's also good for rich americans or corporations interested in buying up european interests. it's some kind of fire sale prices. meanwhile, the russian rouble reached its highest value in 7 years last month and the big loser and all this wells, europe, to the competitive benefit of the u. s. on the global playing field. moscow has pivoted to the global self. but where is europe going to pivot? now, except right into uncle sam's arms, the you had every opportunity to adopt a policy towards the ukraine conflict that didn't involve harming primarily its own interests. instead, it's forging ahead and re quarterly preparing a 7th round of anti russian sanctions pushed by nordic and baltic hunter. you sanctions are working so well well against you countries that french economy minister believe lynette is talking about cutting the power supply to some french companies, or what he calls load,

shedding plans that slow down or stop the company's energy consumption. 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, the financial times in neighboring britain has already evoked the u. k. national grid emergency plans of cutting yas to the you in the event of a u. k shortage, which would make matters even worse for you, you citizens and industry. and when you know it, the u. k is already preparing for that worst case energy scenario with talk of energy bills, they could climb to $3300.00 british pounds per year. and already, the purchasing power of u. k. citizens has taken a big hit, the energy market consultancy cornwall insight attributes. the diary forecast to an energy market that has become increasingly more volatile amid uncertainty over the

gas that russia sends to europe. sales volumes are falling to a rate not seen since the depths of the pandemic as inflation continues to bite, and households cut back spending discretionary purchases were hit hard, especially white goods and homeware, while consumers also traded down to cheaper brands in food and non food alike. yeah, in other words, uncertainty caused by sanctions that the you imposed on itself and its very on citizens can know the story. we have been following closely. sure. like is parliament will elect a new president. next week it follows protesters storming leaders, residences. you'll have seen that happening emitter, severe financial crisis in the south asian nation. indeed, demonstrators continue to occupy the residence, is accusing the government of being responsible for acute shortage is a food fuel and medicine from the protesters say they will remain at the property

until the meters decide. let's take a closer look at events surrounding the latest chaos in the country. # i'm here at the private residence of the prime minister on every campus. he go along with this particular residence and residence, which is almost next door which belong to the younger brother of a private historic of a cigna. they were both set on fire and allegedly looted by the people, a group of people who were came in with the property on the 9th of july that his last saturday night after the massive rally the man to release that was conducted, creating a people for sir to get rid of the government at the same time, the president to go to abeline to box up. and the next in line was to ask the prime minister also to step down from his portfolio as the prime minister. because they were alleging at the prime minister came into prover,

not purely through the part of the people, but as a safe guardian to the cottage, the government, which is led by that i de boxes. so i'm walking into the private residence and the entire the residents, the entire property, ease in ashes. at the moment it was told yesterday by the i mr. unremitting that he was planning to donate most of his sir library, which had more than $2500.00 valuable books to some of the libraries at the same time, but to some of the schools are nearby. and at the same time, some of the donations were targeted and some of the donations were he was planning to give it to his own alma mater for college columbia, which is almost a couple of blocks of it. so this is where, for most of the damage had taken place at the same time, the teacher, mariam, and the area that are walking at the moment,

which leads to his ordinary personal library are all in ashes. but through some of the personal friends and some of the members of the security personnel, some of the books that were there in the library had been rescued by them. but most of them have been burned down. and even at the moment they licks it is not working in the rubbing system, have been damage and nothing can be basically taken, taking out of this entire property, the entire house, entire residence, the private residence of the, of the prime minister on rick, i'm a senior are in ashes at the moment. so when you walk through, you can see how were the level of the damage that it had been created there as a result of the actions and some of the of group of people who were jump in to the property from the parapet valve. and the problem is actually,

this had happened there during a time when it was manned, and it was safe, guarded by some of the members of the show lanka, our force, and they were here. and this all the created. this all were done during such a time. so still the investigations are being carried out. who carried out this and who were the main parties responsible for the devastation that had been already created here. this is my private residence and the seas. our family hall. this house piece about 10100 years old. actually this house was built by hills. now we do our dinner and we do the now from my mother's side and i for generations now with

a 5th generation also has lived here. so i was very sad to see this house in the state when i arrived on the, on the morning at about 7 o'clock into houses, vandalized and looted and, and the damage was done. it's a great loss. only thing is because we had a lot of historical documents and some, and also historical artifacts. and paintings which belong belonged to the colonial. i do see there was rashed up and most of the, some of the story was docking with artifacts are gone. it's not the

money i'm concerned about. it's actually the sentimental values and historical belongings, which would have gone into another generation. i'm sad about this and i'm said about people who broke this kind of violence. this is not, not what you should do. if you need to change russia is set to by hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles, including comeback drones from a ram that's according to washington. or in the information indicates that the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100 u a. b 's including weapons capable you avi's on an expedite expedited timeline or in information further indicates that iran is preparing to train russian forces to use the to

a these with initial training session slated to begin as soon as early july. jake sullivan, while it comes as the kremlin announced plans by allow them to visit around next week, where he'll hold meetings with is arena. turkish counterparts to run has a large range of both surveillance and combat you have each. meanwhile, the head of the iranian central bank recently visited moscow and lines plans of using only national currencies in bilateral trade. he also stated that the 2 countries can increase straight by 50 percent with disgust, the issue less, cross live now to professor of political communication at the university of tehran food. as out of your welcome to the program, sir, what do you make of the white house national security adviser statements? does washington know what hasn't been announced? and should we expect to renew if he used to be delivered to the russian army soon? do you think, you know, russia,

military corporations have been going on for many years and has been buying things from russia and it is able and willing to sell, tends to russia as well. and you know, sell drones is not prohibited under any type of international law as opposed to any type of law or so the return used to defend countries defend it on and defend the fence overall. i think this is something very amazing. as you know, iran has been under sanctions for more than 40. yes and 40 on to be able to produce weapons that russians are going to buy from it on is something that amazing to a lot of people here. actually,

obviously they're very advanced country in terms of weapons manufacturing. so for the on to be able to provide something that's missing in russia and also not is something quite amazing. so a lot of people and overall, as you mentioned in your report and russia traditions are improving in many areas. this, besides the military cooperation, terms of economy in terms of trade, tens of political that says, you don't, then visited russia a couple of months ago. few months ago and obviously didn't put in, you're going to come to the answer. yeah. if this deal food between iran and russia comes to reality just to pick up and appoint, you said, what will the west try to to do about it? you think cut it affect the iranian nuclear, the stoles iranian nuclear deal, for instance. you know,

i think the united states need that the more than you run does, that's only a. ready they can, they're limited on peaceful nuclear program and, you know, they left the agreements, the united states doing the administration. they need to return to the agreement whenever they want. and i don't think you're really worried about that. i think it is more or less overcoming this than pressures and could care less than washington likes increase. even russia relations are not, washington has been harming, you know, on the people for many, many years. they came back to the vehicle and it was the realize is here, there's nothing you can do to please american officials and nothing the business of

doing that. and the overall, i think is russia and iran, our neighbors. we are on the opposite side of the caspian sea. and today we had a large russian shipment going to raise roads that reached the iran from moscow. and it's going all the way to the persian gulf. it's a shipment that russia is sending to india and is also using its geography to advance its relations with rush. while as always, thank you for coming in the program and sharing your expertise with as food as a university to ron, professor of political communications like the right time for a trip to the world's apart studios next. find out who examiners got in the hot seat today in moments. bye for now.

i
