decision to step down the mid wide spread riots over the country's economic turmoil . we visit the residents of the prime minister, which has been occupied by protesters with 70, one on wednesday morning in moscow. my name is peter scotts and wherever you joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis here on oxy. we start off with from the latest news from the don boss, ukrainian army has its hearts and military base close to la ganske. the there is some image is captured by witnesses. several ukrainian ballistic rockets were reportedly down by a defense systems in the area. the local authorities say this, the rock is did reach that targets so far, no casualties have been reported. now this comes just one day after attacked by the

ukrainian army on the city of nova car. hoffer in the russian controlled region of have san least 7 civilians. were killed and 80 more injured in that incidence. now this for the test shows the aftermath of that deadly attack. local authorities claim us delivered highmark multiple rocket launchers. we use striking a fertilizer warehouse, ukrainian officials with a russian ammunition deco i. meanwhile, a notorious criminal has been released by the ukrainian government as part of an amnesty for criminals with combat to experience russell and on his shank oh, who was found guilty of torture and kidnapping among the charges that the neo nazi tornado battalion between 20142015, back in february, ukrainian or president of all of them is the lens get approved, release often. victor criminals. if they were willing to join the fights on the phone line ortiz, mark, gusty of pixel. the story refinery. sanker 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 with 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 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 fire government decree. a number of members refused to surrender to the government forces the special forces sent, apprehend them, and of the protracted siege, the least of their atrocities. and crimes spanned ac tunes which were heard 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 mid the release of convicts had far rights radicals from prison by keith's fight against russian forces. washington blames moscow for spreading dis information about neo nazis in the ukrainian military. the u. s. department has dismissed russia's narrative about new nazism in ukraine as anti semitic because the presence zalinski is 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. the accusations by some western states failed to mention ukrainian far rights battalions, such as as of an ida or recent speech by president vladimir zalinski in the greek parliament given while besides who as offices received a huge backlash from greeks, ukrainian embassy, there did respond. those saying that the as of regiment had been reformed. volume is zalinski also compared the conflicts and ukraine with a holocaust while addressing these really 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 some investigative journalists working the don't boss 60 new and as is better in ukraine. so, 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 ago and since then now people in his government are war are openly neo nazis. i mean, no metro, you rush, we knew nazi the founder of one of these neo nazis battalions ease. now, an advisor to the head of staff of the, of the ukranian army judges in skis or either 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 sack, there was driving down the street and we were literally behind the lines for over

here nazis 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 rate. sure it's been a staple, as long as they've been around in laura who they are or president joe biden is sets of visits. israel today as part of his for date, so of the mid least on is expected to focus on an emerging are of israel, military partnership to combat the alleged threats from iran. what's many question whether this visits would actually contribute to the region security all make an already unstable situation. even worse. glad of the american president's visits. israeli soldiers clashed with palestinians, dozens of processes through stones. the security forces were interned, fired tear gas and arrested. several people, the demonstrates,

is full to the streets to denounce settler attacks, which police allegedly turn a blind eye to ortiz a policy. it takes us through what we can expect from jo biden's visit to the region. these elect left the moon 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 templates ready? prime minister, yet yelling 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 mesa, given the public some excuse the common to me to off, staring up in ukraine. little wonder these criticism that this wilson, p d, stabilize the region further. 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 as to solely with the aim of sewing. i ran a phobia and division among the countries in the region. ango at brutal king of al jazeera agenda. serene absolutely hasn't faded, and her family is still seeking justice. they accuse biden of white washing these way. the 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. the 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, 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 cleanser

graham for stinkers. and apparently israel said no. so i'll get on the found israel . we stand up for israel where they are, and all that is all in russia has a temporary corporation in syria, putting televisions in a tough place as the middle east looks to me further from the usd of influence. is this a town for biden? to finally get the closest ally in the region putting on board, or is this an opportunity to create yet another military alliance? in really unstable world, all will bind and finally do what is clear to so many in the world, and stop giving israel special treatment policy a r t telephone. in the news, the euro's reached parity with us dollar for the 1st time in 20 years. this comes as some european politicians label the sanctions imposed on russia as a mistake. adding that the continent so far has been his heart of the moscow. archie contributed rachel moss and explains the leader france's largest opposition

party in parliament mowing. 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 that no 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 self serve austria is getting the same bad vibes. it's of at the muslim if we continue like loose now, right. there are only 2 options for you afterwards. oops, alcohol, or psycho tropic drugs that i said i'll get home 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 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 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. kay's national grid emergency plans of cutting yas to the you 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 its very own citizens, rushes become spain, 2nd biggest natural gas supply after the us. thus after diplomatic tensions between spain and algeria boiled over recently, resulting in reduced exports to madrid. but just by joining several until brushing sanction packages,

imports are rushing gas to spain have doubled since may reaching 24 percent of total supplies in june. that says deliveries from algeria have dropped to 22 percent amid spain taking a pro, moroccan stands in the disputes over western sahara. and despite russian impulse doubling, the spanish energy ministers made the statement, making it clear that the government is looking to minimize imports from moscow. desirable that traders seek to minimize imports of rush and gas as much as possible . that's all toms against the backdrop of an economic crisis hitting spain this summer with the countries energy minister asking people to limit the use of air condition amid soaring electricity prices. protests over the government's policies have broken out in the country has been faces, food shortages and rising gas prices since joining e wide sanctions against russia. well, earlier we spoke to dr. manders solomon and international oil economist who says that despite all the efforts, there are no alternatives to russian gas in the

e. u. for the upcoming decades. do you have a good lever? we will miss the supply of gas and to some extent and you there might be a new but not the yes, rushing gas up, right? you're brand new and i want to continue. you'll be the bend in my obedient as well into the future. and the, there are no, i'm just in the go daddy market place. i shan't gaz i over you maintain that the entire so light and day data exports and g bind united states gotta australia as well as you can. hopefully, at one more, let gas supplies shall anchors parliaments is expected

to elect a new president next week. thus, the incumbent leader has reportedly fled the country after his residence was storm by protesters. amid a severe economic crisis in a country that demonstrates has continued to occupy the residences of leaders accusing the government of being responsible for months of accused shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. the process is say they will remain on the properties until the leap is resign. i is a close a lot of the celtic events within the country. i'm here at the private residence of the prime minister on every campus. he go along with this particular residence and the residence which is almost next door which belong to the younger brother of for a private historic recovery 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 demands to release that was conducted creating

a beep of force. so to get rid of the government at the same time the president got ivy, i defax it. and the next in line was to ask the prime minister also to step down from his ford for you as the prime minister. because there 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 boxers. so i'm walking into the private residents and the entire the residents, the entire property easing ashes at the moment. it was told yesterday by the prime minister on rick, i'm 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 the same time, some of the donations were targeted and some of the donation to work. 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 teacher media. and the idea that i'm walking at the moment, which leads to his ordinary personal library, are all in ashes. but through some of the, a 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 rubbing system. have been damage and nothing can be basically taken, taking out of this entire property, the entire house, entire residence via private residents of the a prime minister on rick from a signal are in ashes at the moment. this is my private residence

a lot of historical documents and some, and also historical artifacts. and paintings which belong belonged to the colonial eda. as you see the wall, it's matched up and most of the some of the story cuz it came with our defects are gone. so it's not the money i'm concerned about. it's actually a sentimental values, an historical middle i belongings, which would have gone into another generation. i'm sad about this and i'm sad about people who broke this kind of violence. this is not, it's 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 the been created the as

a result of the accident. and some of the, a group of people who were jump in to the property from the up at up a valve. and the problem is actually, this had happened during a, a time when it was manned, and it was safe, guarded by some of the members of the show. lunk, i office and they were here. and these all were 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. now this all comes, us shall anchor faces a major economic crisis. most of the countries external debt is owed to western countries. over the last 50 years, the international monetary fund has given the state 16 loans. and it's gone through

a host of so called economic stabilization programs through the i m f. although of the 2018 world economic forum shall anchors, prime minister said the government plan some make shall anchor 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. of the u. s. secretary of state's antony blink and accused russia being behind the crisis on the island. but for lunch, his former ambassador to russia disagrees sapa nichol. we are under the control of the western status of the current president will now resign. what we don't know who will come next. look at the speaker could be the term president place and a month later, parliament will elect new president and prime minister the countries patient crisis
