so many find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look some common ground. a with cranium forces launcher rockets, attack on a military base near luke john. just one day after a deadly attack, you had a song left 7 people that get released as a convicted commander. the far right battalion who was once found guilty of torturing and kidnapping people in the dom bus as part of an amnesty for criminals with combat experience. the euro flies to piracy with the u. s. dollar for the 1st time in 20 years with some european politicians now saying the sanctions imposed on

russia or mistake punchline because president has reportedly fled the country after his decision to step down amid widespread riots over the country's economic turmoil. we visits the residents of the prime minister, which has been occupied by protest with july for my headquarters here in moscow. your watching are t international. it's one minutes past 6 am. my name's peter scott and wherever you joining us from, welcome to the program were start this hour with the latest from the don bus, ukrainian army as a military base close to la ganske. the there was some image is captured by eyewitnesses. several ukrainian ballistic rockets were possibly downed by defense forces in the area. the local authorities

say some rockets reach that targets so far, no casualties have been reported. this comes just one day after and attacked by the queen army on the city of nova care home in the russian controlled region of san at least 7 civilians were killed and 80 more injured enough incidents. this footage you can see now shows the aftermath of that deadly attack. local authorities claim us delivered highmark multiple rocket launchers. we use striking a fertilizer warehouse. ukrainian officials, however, say that it was a russian ammo deco. meanwhile an authority of criminal has been released by the ukrainian government as part of an amnesty for criminals with combat to experience refund on the shank. oh, who was found guilty of torture and kidnapping. among the charges lead the neo nazi tornado battalion between 20142015. back in february, ukrainian president. volume is the lensky approved release of convicted criminals if they're willing to join the fight on the front line ortiz, mariah garcia,

has that story planner. he 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 the sea chanced the headquarters, we're located in a school and they set up a camera and the basement which they used to record tortures in mud as of separate us as well as civilians. wealthy civilians who they kidnapped in order to in order to extract from their families from their businesses 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 killed death. of actually, the organization received such infamy that they would disbanded by a government decree. a number of members refused to surrender to the government forces the special forces sent, apprehend them, and was a 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 more 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. will 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 amid the release of convicted far right radicals from prison by kia to fight against russian forces. washington blames moscow for spring disinformation, about neo nazis in the ukrainian military. u. s. t. a department has dismissed russia's narrative about new nurses in ukraine as anti semitic because of presidency lensky, jewish roots. when critics point out that ukraine's president villa dimmer zalinski who won 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. accusations by western states failed to mention ukrainian. far i battalions such as, as often i dar, her recent speech by prisons. ellen's get to the greek parliament given while besides you, as our fights has received a huge backlash from greeks, ukrainian embassy in greece responded and as of regiment had been reformed, thought him, his zalinski also compared the conflict in ukraine with the holocaust while addressing the israeli parliaments, though, even before the conflict began, both you and and western media condemned ukrainian, neo nazis for violating human rights. earlier, we got to take some investigative journalists working in the dorm bus. 60 new and as is better in ukraine, so so pretend that they do not exist and then they are not a threat for,

for me is just completely amazing. and they are really dangerous the, of 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 ago. and since then now people in his government are war are openly neo nazis. i mean, you know me throw your rush. we knew nazi the founder or one of these neo nazis battalions ease. now, an advisor to the head of staff of the, of the ukrainian 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 on the fact there was driving down the

street and 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 them. and this is never stuff to murder the rate. well, sure it's been a staple is more as they've been around in the r, as in joe biden is to visit israel today as part of his for dates of the middle east. and he's expected to focus on an emerging arab israeli military partnership to combat the legend. threats posed by iran. but many our question, whether this visit would actually contribute to the region security or make an already unstable situation, even worse. well added,

the american president's visit is ready. soldiers clashed with palestinians. mabel dozens of protest threw stones security forces, who in turn fight to gas and arrested. several people the demonstrates his talk to the streets, to denounce settler talks, which police allegedly turn a blind eye to ortiz, fall asleep takes us through what we can expect from joe biden, his visits the region. please let left me here in israel as joke iden touches down for the 1st time as president, and the thousands of police deployed is commonplace for visiting dignitaries. so what's new on the agenda templates ready? prime minister yet you live. he says he ran is the main issue under discussion. israel will not stand idly by while iran 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 problems,

some excuse the common to me to off staring up in ukraine. little wonder these criticism that this will some p d, stabilize the region further. the injury 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 brutal killing of al jazeera gymnast. shaheen abil actually hasn't faded, and her family is still seeking justice. they accused bitin of white washing these wavy 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 our rejection of the american position on the issue of the assassination of ob lockley and a condemnation of the american report which results amounting on its way to human rights in the latest danasia by a palace and christian organization is always accused of meeting the criteria of an

apartheid state. just the latest voice to the chorus of international organizations 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 elected or 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 by them will address these issues at all. and while is will, 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, i'll get on the found israel. you know, we stand up for israel where they are, and all that is william 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. c. of influence . is this a tangible biden, to finally get his closest ally in the region for you on board? or is this an opportunity to create yet another military alliance in a really unstable world? oh will bite and finally do what is clear to so many in the world and stuff given is roles, spatial treatment policy, a r t telephone moving on now the euro has re piracy 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 out in the continent, so far as been hit hotter than moscow. also contributed rachel moss and explains the leader, frances largest opposition party and 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 in the some show, i think a little ease, sanctions against russia turned out to be completely ineffective. 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 self serve austria is getting the same bad vibes. it's of at the modem. if we consider like this. now, there are only 2 options for you afterwards. alcohol or psycho tropic drugs that i said i'll get hose basically. okay. but why don't we take these officials word for it if anyone needs quantifiable proof that the u has weekend is 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. it didn't involve harming primarily its own

interests. instead, it's forging ahead and repeatedly 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 bully nolan air 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. kay's 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. russia's become spain, 2nd biggest natural gas supply up to the us,

not us out to diplomatic tensions between spain and algeria boiled over recently, resulting in reduced exports to madrid just by joining several anti russian sanction packages in ports of russian gas to spain have doubled since may reaching 24 percent of total supplies in june. that says deliveries from algeria dropped to 22 percent amid spain taking a pro, moroccan stands in the disputes over western sahara display russian imports doubling. the spanish energy minister has made a statement, making it clear that the government is looking to minimize imports from moscow. is desirable that traders seek to minimize imports have rush and gas as much as possible. let's all comes against the background of an economic crisis hitting spain this summer with the countries energy minister asking people to limit the use of air conditioning. a mid soaring electricity prices. protests over the government's policies have broken out in the country as spain faces food shortages

unresolved gas prices. and since joining you, why sanctions against russia, referred to doctor mom, do a salami, international oil economist who says, despite all the efforts, there are no alternatives to russian gas in the u for the upcoming decades. you have a good one, you will never, we will miss the supply of gas and to some extent and you there might be a new but the yes, russian guess of right, you know why you continue. you'll be the bend in my obedient as well. if your chair and the there are no, i was germany in the doorway, gemalto came during place and i shan't, gas i over you maintain that the entire supplies in day dal exports of angie by united states. gotta australia as well

as you can up please. at one low and the shell gas supplies. and finally, over to sri lanka, where the parliament will elect a new president next week that says the incumbent leader has reportedly fled the country after his residence was stormed by protesters. amid a severe economic crisis in the country, demonstrators continued to occupy the residences, accusing the government of being responsible for months of acute shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. the protesters say they will remain of the properties until the leaders resign. now has a closer look at the chaotic events in the country. i'm here at the private residence of the prime minister on a, become a sega, along with this particular residence and residence, which is almost next door which belong to the younger brother of, for a private historic record of cigna. they were both set on fire and allegedly looted

by the people, a group of people who are keeping with the property on the 9th of july that his last saturday right after the massive rally the man to release that was conducted, creating a peeper force. so to get rid of the government at the same time the president got ivy i def boxer. and the next in line was to ask, the prime minister also to step down from is for, for you 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 residence, the entire property, easy ashes at the moment. it was told yesterday by the prime minister and rick of a singer that he was planning to donate most of his so library,

which had more than $2500.00 valuable books to some of the libraries at the same time. but to some of the schools near by and at same time some of the donations over 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 most of the damage had taken place at the same time, the kitchen area 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 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 in the lobbying 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 ah, in ashes at the moment, this is my private residence. this is our family hall. this house is about 10100 years old. actually this house was built by hitting now we do our dinner and we do the now from my mother's side. and i, for generations now with a 5th generation 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 where the laced and looted and, and the damage wasn't done. it's a great loss. only think because we had a lot of historical documents and some, and also historical artifacts and paintings which belong belonged to the colonial. as you see the was rashed up and most of the, some of the story was ducking with artifacts are gone. it's not the money i'm concerned about. it's actually the sentimental values and the historical belongings, which would have gone into another generation. i'm sad about

this and i'm sad about people who broke loose 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 it had been created. the, as a result of the actions and some of the, a group of people who were jump in to the property from the up at up at valve. and the problem is actually, this had happened there during a, a time when it was manned, and it was safe, guarded by some of the members of the through lunk. i office 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 these and who were the main, the parties responsible for the devastation that had been already created. here for

this comes as shall anchor faced as a major economic crisis. most of the countries external debt is over 50 years. the international monetary fund has given the state 16 loans, and he's gone through a host of so called economic stabilization programs through the i m f. although of the 28 seem world economic forum shall anchors. prime minister said the government funds to make sure lanka, a rich country by 2025. it's no secret that asia as 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 and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. a u. s. secretary of state's antony blink and has resulted to washington's usual narrative accusing russia. been behind the crisis on the island. shank as a former ambassador to russia. it says the u. s. is wrong to blame moscow for shall

that america and western colleagues are interested in. they can be used to control india, the indian ocean, and nearby countries. they will be able to rule the world however they want you. that's therefore the sri lankan crisis benefits them. they will pretend to help us a lot, but this won't be the reality of letters that you guys are. so the was looking at 6 30 am moscow time. i hope you weeks off to a great start. i'm pizza scott's on the back again with another look at today's biggest stories in just over half an hour's time. ah. ah ah
