a mistake until anchors president confirms he's stepping down a mid wide spread riots over the nations economic turmoil. we visit the residents of the prime minister, which has been occupied by protesters with july 4th, headquartered here in moscow, you're watching our see international just going 5 am here in the russian capital. my name is peter scott bringing you the top stories this hour, but we start off with the latest from the don bus. ukrainian army has a tire, it's a military base close to la ganske. the there is some image is captured by eye witnesses. several ukrainian ballistic rockets were reportedly downed by defense systems in the area boats. local authorities say this, the rockets did reach the target so far,

no casualties have been reported when it comes just one day after the talk by the cranium army on the city of nova kafka in the russian controlled region of san at least 7 people were killed. and 80 more injured in knots incidence. this footage shows the aftermath of the deadly attacked local authorities claim us delivered high mas, multiple rocket launchers. we use striking a fertilizer warehouse. you create an officials, however, say it with a russian. i munition deco meanwhile is atoria se criminal has been released by the ukrainian government as parts of an amnesty for convicts with combat experience. russell and shanker was found guilty of torture and kidnapping among the charges. and he led the famous neo nazi tornado battalion between 201420 . 15. back in february, ukrainian president followed him in the lensky approved the release of convicts criminals if they were willing to join the fights on the front line off the road.

because the of has that story, refinery shanker was viewed as something of a monstrous figure even inside ukraine when he created the tornado. who volunteer battalion at the moment of its creation, a quarter of the personnel, the fight of the joined up. but convicts only shingo and the tornado battalion, his gang, which is what they came to be known as was said to suppress separatism in the guns, which is why they made their headquarters near the city of lucy chanced. recently liberated a city of lucy chanced, the headquarters we're located in a school and they set up a camera and the basement which they used to record tortures and mud as of separatists, as well as civilians. wealthy civilians who they kidnapped in order to in order to extract from their families from their businesses a vast amounts of money. there was rape, a lot of rape gang rapes as well as rapes involving miners. in one instance,

quotes heard about a 10 year old girl that was kidnapped and raped over a period of many days by members of tornado fighters from the unit until that girl's death. eventually, the organization received such information that they would disbanded by a government decree. a number of members refused to surrender to the government forces the special forces sent to apprehend them. and of the protracted siege, the least of their atrocities. and crimes spanned ac tunes, which were hud at ukrainian courts. after tornado itself was disbanded and only shanker was arrested. there were more than a 100 witnesses, as well as victims that reported things that quite frankly shocked ukrainian society. previously, a number of his associates had been released from prison in the opening

a days of the conflict between russia and you, him, but the senior leadership, those believed to be behind the ma, heinous crimes. they were locked up until until now, and it is believed that the decree, the order to release them must have been approved by the president himself or someone very close to him, a high up in the government. because hey, again, because of the shock waves that tony chicago and what he did said through ukrainian society back in 2015 i'll mid to the release of convicted for rights, radicals from prison, bike if to fight against russian forces. washington blamed moscow for supporting dis information about new nazis in the ukrainian military. u. s. department has dismissed russia's narrative about new nazism in ukraine as anti semitic because of president valdemar zalinski, his jewish roots. when critics point out that ukraine's president villa dimmer zelinski, 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 jeremiah, 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. the positions by western states failed to mention ukrainian, neo nazi battalions such as as often i dar, a recent speech by president zalinski to the greek parliaments given while beside 2 as of fights as received. a huge backlash from greeks. volume is zalinski also compared the conflict in ukraine with the holocaust while addressing the israeli parliaments. though even before the conflict began both the un and western media condemned ukrainian, neo nazis for violating human rights. earlier we got to take of some investigative journalists working on bus 60 new and as is better in ukraine. so pretend that they do not exist and then they are not a threat for me is just completely amazing. and they are really dangerous. they are

the more, ideologically phonetic and ukraine, the, these battalions were the 1st to shoot against civilians, ended on boss in 2014, when the war begun. zelinski had during years and since then now people in his government are war are openly neo nazis. i mean, did me throw your rush? we knew nazi the founder of one of these new analogies battalions ease, now an advisor to the head of stuff of the, of the ukranian army judges. in caesar of you origin, which doesn't change the fact that e as in these government, people who are openly new nazis. and for him it's not a problem, especially in 2014. when this 1st started or we sat there was driving down the street and we were literally behind the lines for over

a year. 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 on boss. and this should never stop the murder, the rate for sure. it's been a staple, as long as they've been around, and wherever they are. but it and joe biden is sets of visits, israel, today's parts of his 4 dates for the middle east and is expected to focus on emerging are up, is really military partnership to combat the alleged threats from iran. but many question whether this visit would actually contribute to the region security or make an already in so unstable situation. even worse, under the american presence visits, israeli soldiers clashed with palestinians. dozens of protesters through stones the security forces,

who in turn fired to gas under rested several people. the demonstrators took to the streets to denounce settler types, which police allegedly turned a blur blind eye to policy. it takes us through what we can expect from jo biden's visit to the region. please let left me here in israel as joe biden touches down for the 1st time as president. and the thousands of police deployed is come in place for visiting dignitaries. so what's new on the agenda? temporary 3 prime minister, yet your lip hid says he ran is the main issue under discussion. israel will not stand idly by while ron tries to attack us. we will discuss with the president and his team, expanding security cooperation against all threats. i can say is he's in favor of a more integrated and stable middle east, but he's also suggested 8 new middle east in may. so, given the problem, some accused the coming to me to off staring up in ukraine. little wonder these

criticism that this will st. pete destabilized the region so that the entry of foreigners in the region will not create security and stability, but is itself the main cause of tension and regional rift. america raises such issues solely with the aim of sewing. i ran a phobia and division among the countries in the region. ango, at little killing of al jazeera janice. shaheen absolutely hasn't faded, and her family is still seeking justice. they accused biden of white washing. these really armies, actions, and social pressure is quite high too. when biden enters bethlehem from jerusalem, the 1st thing he sees will be this wall painting. the wall painting as an expression of a rejection of the american position on the issue of the assassination of ob lockley and a condemnation of the american report. chris is also mounting on his way to human rights in the latest danasia by a palestinian christian organization. israel is accused of meeting the criteria of an apartheid state. just the latest voice to the chorus of international

organization denouncing the country's humanitarian track record. it is abundantly clear that israel meets the definition of the crime of apartheid under international law, both through the laws, the state has adopted and its inhumane practices. israel actively works to promote separation and segregation through a biased legal regime that offer specific rights and privileges to one group at the expense of the other to maintain its domination. for an israeli jew, there are no restrictions to move and to let to know make his i'm not making things easier. quite the contrary. when they come up with statements like this. if there was a button, i could press that would take all the arabs and put them on a train to switzerland. may they live amazing lives there? i wish them all the best in the world. i would press that button a button like that does not exist. apparently, we were destined to exist here on this land in some form. it still a question whether biden will address these issues at all. and while is all has condemned one ukraine. it did not doing sanctions or weapons delivery,

rushed from the waste. they asked israel no bigger fan of israel than lindsey graham for stinkers. and apparently israel said no. so get on the phone, israel, you know, we stand up for israel where they are, and all that is wrong in russia has a temporary corporation in syria, putting television in a tough place as the middle east looks to me further from the u. s. fear of influence, is this a talk for biden to finally get close to ally in the region 14 on board? or is this an opportunity to create yet another military alliance in reading unstable world, or will bite and finally do what is clear to so many in the world, and stop giving israel special treatment policy a r t telephone euros reached parity with the u. s. dollar for the 1st time in 20 years. this comes as some european politicians label the sanctions imposed on russia as

a mistake. i think the constant has been heads harder than moscow. archie contributor rachel marston, explains the leader frances largest opposition party in parliament. nothing 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. nissan shaw, 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. it's of, at the muslim, if we continue like this, now, there are only 2 options for you afterwards. oops. alcohol, or psycho tropic drugs that i say, or alcohol was basically okay. 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. it went nuts 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 accept 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 reportedly preparing

a 7th round of anti russian sanctions pushed by nordic and baltic countries. you sanctions are working so well well against you. countries that french economy minister bruno 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, dis, emergency plans of cutting yas to the e. u in the event of a u. k shortage, which would make matters even worse. 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 dyer 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 it's very on citizens over to india. now, where the reserve bank has launched initiative for international trade deals to be made in indian rupees. in order to promote the growth of global trade with emphasis

on exports from india and to support the increasing interest of the global trading community in indian rupees. it has been decided to put in place an additional arrangement for invoicing payment and settlement of exports and imports. in indian rupees, the moose aimed at improving trade, particularly with countries restricted from standard cross border payment platforms, such as heavily sanction russia utility also hopes to make the indian course is stronger around the world. the move comes amid rising inflation in india, roxanne oil prices, as well as the dollars strengthening against the roofing economist and market analyst. i question da believes the indian repeat, could become one of the world's major currencies. i think there's a very significant, at some practical, more senior ratings are moving globally. this is something which was required to be done. now this will increase what will be of our data last year. and of

course, you learned goals. what comes to my mind is why should you have a monopoly of being the and see india then died when we are to be going to be know we are the 6th largest one this year. busy and the oil is expected to go by on 17 percent. when did percent india? this is going to be expected to go 7 percent and a half percent. so we are going one of the new balls. so why shouldn't you're getting an indian? so i can go going ahead, there will be what can do, which can be dealing in indian. ah, shall. anchor's parliaments will alights new presidents next week. and that follows the storming of leaders, residences by protesters amid a severe financial crisis. in the south, asian nation demonstrated continued to occupy the residences,

accusing the government of being responsible for months of acute shortages of food fuel and medicine. brought us to say they will remain other focuses until the lead design is a closer look at the chaotic events within the country. i'm here and the private residents of the prime minister on a become a singer along with this particular residence and residence, which is almost next door which belong to the younger brother of prime minister and recover cigna. they were both set on fire and allegedly looted by the people, a group of people who were keeping with the property on the 9th of july that his last saturday right after the massive rally the man to relieve that was conducted at creating a people for sir to get rid of the government at the same time the president got ib, i de boxer. 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 current 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 prime minister under commissioner that he was planning to donate most officer library, which had more than $2500.00 valuable books to some of the libraries at the same time to some of the schools near by. and at same time, some of the donation and some of the donations work, he was planning to give it to his own alma mater for college columbia. it is almost a couple of blocks of it. so this is where most of the damage had taken place at the same time, the teacher navia and the area that are walking at the moment,

which leads to his ordinary personal library. all in ashes. but through some of the person of 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 . the lobbying system have been damaged and nothing can be basically taken. taking out of this entire property, the entire house, entire residence, the private residence of the prime minister on rick, i'm a senior r e ashes at the moment. this is my private residence and this is our family home. this house is about 10400 years old. actually this house was

built by harry, now we do our dinner and, and we do our dinner from my mother's side. and the 4 generations now is a 5th generation also has lived here. so i was very sad to see this house in the state, or when i arrived on the, on the morning at about 7 o'clock or into houses vandalized and looted. and then the damage was done. and 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 milan belonged to the colonial eda. as you see there was mashed up

and most of the some of the story goes docking with artifacts all gone. now, it's not the money i'm concerned about. it's actually a sentimental values and her historical belongings, which would have gone into another generation. i am said about this and i'm sad about people who broke this kind of violence. this is not, not what you should do. if you need a change, so when you walk through, you can see how the level of the damage that had been created the as a result of the action. and some of the, a group of people who were jump in to the property from the parapet valve. and the

problem is actually, this had happened 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, investigations are being carried out who carried out this and who were the men their party responsible for the devastation that had been already created here? now this comes a shill. anchor face is a major economic crisis. most of the countries external debt is owed to western countries, or there are 50 years. it's not so much fun to has given the states 6, dean loans slunk has gone through a host of so called economic stabilization programs through the i m f. although the 2018 world economic forum shall anchors foreign ministers said the government funds to make sure like a rich country by 2025. it's no secret that asia,

the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka in rich countries, by 2025, we aim to include asia even more in leverage, strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. the u. s. government as complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular, the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources, and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m f demands that a country cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage, basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest to foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course,

what's happening inside the talks between the sri lankan government and the i m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interests of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was unwilling to given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. finally, the european union approved a new batch of aid for ukraine on tuesday, with the total amount of the books, financial assistance. the key of now stunning, its over 2000000000 euros. i am delighted to inform you that we have our greet

on a one bill, euros micro financial assistant to ukraine, which is the commission i would like to provide for luke or, you know, before the summer break or the western humanitarian. it's ukraine does not always reach its goals. cases of illegal cells online are becoming more frequent in the country. local media science, corruption, and innovative control over how a dispense is the main reasons behind it. following shows, searches during which police officers exposed another instance of the sale of western humanitarian aid, the suspect sold food that was intended as humanitarian aid for the worst effected ukrainians. as a result of such cases, ukrainian volunteers continued to collect money from ordinary citizens for the basic needs of the ukrainian army. unless despite western multi $1000000000.00 assistance, will amid an unprecedented volume of aid to keir ukrainian presidents has slammed or to work and called on acceptable is decision to return germany. adjust turbine

currently stuck in the country due to unseat russian sanctions. the decision on the exception to sanctions will be perceived in moscow exclusively as a manifestation of weakness. russia has never played by the rules in the energy sector and it will not play now unless it's the strength the dispute. the turbine is a key components of the node stream one gas pipeline. it's had previously been sent to kind of defer shedra repairs. we also were refusing to return to germany because of anti russian sanctions. it later but charts and agreed to return it to prevent a worsting energy crisis in europe. give was furious. the move for the return of the turbine was welcomed by the european commission and the u. s. state department canadian lawyer and you chew, but david fry heights says that western countries will try to back out of the involvement in ukrainian conflicts as it becomes increasingly unpopular. key of and my kid, i presume, means zalinski has been operating on the basis that the west was going to fight

this war with russia by proxy through ukraine. they might have been right if this war had ended in 2 weeks or a month, like everyone said, it was going to this war between ukraine and russia, which is unpopular to say more of a regional war than an international war was more into a war by proxy against russia, and when it's cost canadians, americans, europeans, more than they are interested in sacrificing for what most people perceive to be a regional war. they start to back off in terms of public opinion. and we've seen it in terms of what happened the board johnson. we've seen it in terms of what's happening for calls for merkel to resign in germany. they're going to try to back out of this unpopular war, which is not gone the way they wanted. they're going to try to back out of it casually discreetly and tell zelinski too bad. now you're on the road, which is probably what he wants from the beginning. but for the fact of the west thought they could use ukraine to fight

a proxy war against russia. well as the rep for this our i'm pizza scott's, i'll be back again in around 30 minutes time with all the latest news and views here on oxy international. i'll see you then ah ah ah a
