a new entry leader is appointed in sri lanka following days. of turmoil, which on math protests on the streets, the president fleeing the country and finally offering his resignation. we report from the back with europe shot i'd sell it in the lungs by bolling, russian oil and gas. so say the hungarian prime minister is country house that carried on energy emergency supply disruptions, sky rocketing energy prices with, from moscow to the world. this is our t pleasure to have your company today. my name's you know, some 500 ukrainian trips were killed in an london tech. so we're night. according to the russian ministry of defense.

yes. but the strikes was published by the m o. d. it said several military assets were destroyed, including bases of ukrainian nationalist formations in the heart of region on the done, the square public not comes amid the continuing advance of russian lead forces in lieu guns. republic officials. meanwhile, se ukrainian troops are starting to retreat from the key city of subversive. the authorities also accuse ukraine on starving civilian infrastructure in the city of sa hunh, off, including a school kindergarten and hospital. the also reiterated that kid is using us supplied highmark missile systems. in those attacks the rest of the m o. d also commented on thursday strike in the central ukrainian city of the nixa. the ministry sees a ukrainian military building was targeted while commanders were holding a meeting with foreign weapons suppliers while claims moscow had several buildings

in the city calling 23. the still ahead and the program, neutralizing the danger is r. t follows russian forces of the continued clean up operations in the loo, guns, republic, making safe areas abundant. ukrainian jo biden's, 1st, middle east trip is u. s. president is into his 3rd day in the morning. he met with his palestinian counterparts in bethlehem. the visit to the westbank was marred by protest with demonstrators angered by biden's support for israel earlier the lighthouse and i was hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid for palestinians of the u. s. 6 repair relations with the state biden's press conference with the palestinian leadership wasn't without an awkward moment either of the way to the event journalist put a photo of slain al jazeera journalist, sharina a clay on

a sure or killing back in may. while she was covering and then really operation in the west bank outrage, palestinians, and lead to both sides and the conflict trading blame on wild biden condemned to violence, the president had trouble plunging her name in the united states to suffer the loss as well, including the killing of sharing abu kaylee. but all eyes now turned to the last leg of biden's, middle east to her, his visit, the saudi arabia, where his plane, we believe is about to touch, done. that part of the trip was raised more than a few eyebrows after the president previously vowed to make the country. and i'd count over the murder of journalist jamal cas shoji. however, now the word pariah has been quietly dropped in favor of par. there are to kill him up and has been looking into the future. so joe biden is getting on a plane and heading to the middle east to meet with a long time

u. s. ally. so who is it? obviously it some bastion of freedom and democratic principles, some great up holder of human rights and international law. no, actually it's saudi arabia. when joe biden came into office, he seemed to feel that coddling this regime was not good. p r for the united states . he promised to make them a pariah, and i would make it very clear. we were not going to sell more weapons to them, but we're going to make them pay the price in fact, make them a pariah that they are. there is very little social, redeeming value in the present governments of saudi arabia. sally, arabia is an important part and the president believes and the present and also believes john, that it's important for him to be willing and able to meet with leaders all across the world. no matter who they are, who they represent, if in fact it's going to improve us national security interest, and in this case, the president absolutely believes as the case. but let's be honest. it's not about

burying the hatchet. it's about biden trying to get out of the tough spot domestically. it's about oil, that's a national security issue. the gas situation in the united states is very bad. the french president had to clarify the situation for biden, with 2nd calling to us. sounds concrete. one more, have you shipped anything before 6 with oh, you're with the mainstream media has got biden's act as usual. he may need to embrace saudi arabia because of russia

as president. it is my job to keep our country strong and secure. we have to call into russia's aggression, puts ourselves in the best possible position to all compete china and walk for greater stability in a consequential region of the world. the narrative is that russia is evil because there war in ukraine is a violation of human rights. and because of that, russia needs to be barricaded and cut off from all trade. and the narrative continues that because of the resulting gas shortage and the rising prices, we need to get close to saudi arabia and get them to pump more oil to drive the price down. caleb martin r t new york double standards on a slap in the face. the words used by a human rights activist in slumming the by that ministration for its plans to set up a new international committee to investigate abuses in yemen, ostensibly at the hands of saudi arabia. he claims that proposed body is flawed

from the start. they are working on a very, very bad mechanism that can replace that you ends. first of all, the starting point is that the mandate is weak and 2nd, it is not independent at all. well, according to reports, the us state department is considering including representatives from yelman's presidential leadership council in the new committee. the council, however, he said to have close ties with saudi arabia who have been the focus of investigations themselves in the past. and it comes as a u. s. congressional watchdog released the report last month, stating the u. s. has not fully investigated its own role and perpetrating. schumann writes a pieces reports of also reveal up the saudi bombing campaign in yemen, allege war crimes were conducted with us weapons. in january, this year, american weapons were reportedly used in our striking, yet in killing. at least 80 people re add has been america's biggest customer when it comes to on. washington is said to be discussing,

lifting and bound on seals all the offensive weapons to saudi arabia. if they can make progress in ending the war in yemen, no agreement has been reached so far. so the emily journalists, nasa, rob dee said they knew investigative committee will not be this by the name independent the united states is coming to form or to create a committee what this committee would be doing. they say that they would, there will be, be able from the bridge then shall council visit president. the residual council was made by saudi decisions. it is not independent. it is not to me to travel at all. so they are saying that we want somebody to, to, to whitewash the water crimes not to investigate to why it was that, that crimes this would be if it happens if this committee is created,

it would be, i think, at this synthesis for the human rights in yemen and maybe in the region. ok, another story to bring you this friday, the us house of representatives, health path and national defense bill lead increases. washington's military helped to ukraine, but strikes a significant blow for humanitarian aid to have them. the bill sees congress sets a new record for the country's military budget of $840000000000.00. now this 37000000000 more than president biden had even requested. the figure includes another, a $1000000000.00 allocated to ukraine, wherever the new bill funds the defense department from funding any transport for humanitarian aid to have them. when it comes to spice, the international rescue committee repeatedly warning, not the current, she monitoring prices enough callison can result in even more debts compared to the

2 decades of war. it's gone through while some us politicians on both sides of the divide. how voice concerned that military spending is running out of control? let's go live now to professor of history and introduce relations at the lebanese university and pe root jamal at what came. welcome to you, sir. according to the international rescue committee, the current food crisis, enough chemist on could lead to more depth than the 20 years of war. the country injured yet, the new u. s. defense bill puts an end to us resources helping to deliver any 8. what was your reaction to that when you saw when i believe that the united states is deliberately doing this because it wants to drive up again, it's done, it started by handing over the company. and then it's complementing the 1st step by being the country into human crisis.

the reason why it's doing this because it wants to create a crisis situation of gun son and the on the mind, the stability and neighboring countries, especially in central asia. and this way, the united states will undermine the efforts of, by china to promote the plan of road and balance initiative that age to, to boost trade in your asia. the bill will also see, as we mentioned, jamal, more military aid and weapons sent to ukraine considering earlier concerns by the e you over high corruption in the country. are you surprised by a continual flow of money at resources as well to keep? not at all. actually, the united states is trying to agree to use ukraine.

realizing factor to rush up wants to target and undermine. actually mentioned security the through you cream, and this was why it's really a crisis situation in the country that force rush up winter to be in the ukraine. so no one that, that the united states is still floating money and weapons in the country so that they could extend the conflict as much as possible in all of the today and all the resources are structured. this is from us perspective. interesting as well as some politicians, a voice concerned that in 5 months ukraine has received the same amount of money as of, as washington spend on afghanistan in 5 years. those figures, you know, i'm not sure whether or not we should be surprised, but it's still shocking. nothing to say. definitely because the united states

is passing through crisis economic crisis. they should have spend this money on be taking that in cross section decaying infrastructure. they should spend this money on development plans in the united states. yes, they are trying to promote that agenda and all the undermines separated drive a wedge between russia and europe. of course, i don't believe that it would work out well, however, the united states or the administration of the united states is trying to promote this agenda the expense of using this money in trying to resolve some of the crisis situation inside the, in the united states. and just finally, i want to get your thoughts as well as jamal or not other aspect, the highest approved military budget. that's $37000000000.00 more than president

biden had requested. what can we read into that when it comes to us foreign policy? when the last for the policy is not, doesn't depend off all administration auto one president, that is the whole elite. that is the neo cons will have in places the top echelon, all political power in the united states. since decades promoting the agenda in order to keep the united states as sole head on the world and tries to last your asian powers from acquiring independent roll, international se. so i don't believe that the policy of by then, or trump, or any other present than mainly promoted,

formulated and implemented by the name comes, will have been in power for the past 5 decades. what came professor of history and international relations of lebanese university in beirut. many thanks. thank you. sure link is prime minister has been sworn in as a thing president rummy le wicker missing has promised to restore law and order in the country after recent demonstrations and violent protest grip the site asian country. on thursday, the resignation of president golf bio roger packs, it was officially confirmed by the government. the news broke must have celebrations erupt across the country. earlier the presidential residence was stormed by protesters who blamed him for the country's economic implosion. roger pucks fled the country eventually turning up in singapore from where he finally offered to spend on new presidential elections will be held in parliament. next week, kara will despise many shrill lincolns hoping

a new chapter is now being turned on. a brighter future, the country still faces a whole host of crises including a severe fuel shortage. r t correspondent ren june sharma, picks up the story. these 2 with 3. i think monday morning. critical. i don't know. no. with now, with

the people a long time will come to an end, but it's going to take your time. yeah, we'll see how the next few days unfolds. there are, meanwhile energy food crises, they're raging across africa to with more than 2000000 people facing a kit, hunger in the central nation of time. a room. and that's in that a growing shortage of fuel in the country. flooded shows, drivers chewing a petrol station, some i've been waiting for days, the government's not pumping money into the markets to bring prices down. despite the international monetary fund opposing state subsidies from local say, the situation in cameron is becoming desperate. i'm here to find diesel for my vehicle, which has been parked at home for 3 days. so i wanted to bring my mother to the hospital. there is no way because of the lack of fuel. i've been lined up here since this morning at 7 am. unfortunately, they haven't increased the price. we're forced to take the fuel and leaders to the

villages so we can put in our bikes, but it is a bad fuel. we have problems with it, as it spoils our bike engines. sometimes we learn there stations where we can find diesel, but they don't allow it to be taken with a canister. so now we have cars that have broken down dry. what do we do? do we put the car in our head to come and get fuel? well of course the economic crisis extends well be on camera and with the sun i watering combined debt of a quarter of a trillion dollars. now dragging emerging markets closer to default according to bloomberg. the number of states verging on a default of their foreign debts, has more than doubled in the last 6 months. the worst head countries are home to almost a 1000000000 people with el salvador pakistan, ganna, aneesha, named among the most vulnerable, the ceo of the national youth development agency in south africa faces a full blown humanitarian crisis. medicaid crisis data

center and not managed migration. we certainly need to look into libraries and he's an indicator of those potentially pick economic decisions are often made based on political amended to prevent a domino effect. government do we need to be carefully in how they manage monitoring ah, another story to bring you today. the hungarian prime minister said european economies of quote shot themselves in the lungs by bombing and russian fuel import stuff is hungry. if there is a state of emergency over typing energy supplies. initially, i thought we had only shot ourselves in the foot, but now it is clear that the european economy has shot itself in the lungs and it is gasping for air. hungry is heavily dependent on russian fossil fuels for its energy needs around 65 percent of its oil. and even more if it's gas comes from moscow,

under the state of emergency plans hungry will not boost its own production of natural gas. some expanded purchases from other countries, according to the plant price caps on utility bills for high usage, high souls will not be lifted. we heard the force of locals music and yeah, we know we get the picture. well, we are sensitive to it because we are likely to consume more than the average and therefore pay more. but you can't save money on it. so if you need some hot water on a certain level, you do need it. how could it not? my pension is low that i have nothing else to say, deductions bands. i live on 49004, it's horror. i am outraged. i've heard about it. yes, i have a pretty depressing opinion about the whole thing, but i don't really want to deal with it. let's wait until the end of the year and we'll see hungry was one of the few states which refused to impose energy

functions on russia. despite pressure from the block, budapest said, a european or boy count would be quote, an atomic bomb for its economy and destroyed stable energy supply. global effort, especially george zamarelli believes hungry was forced to remove the cap on gas prices as its neighbors were taking advantage of the chief supplies. i think we had to was we had a very serious economic crisis because it's not just that we have inflation rates likely to get into digits in the very near future. but we're going to get essentially economic shut down major factors. we're closed down who really terrible was the whole world of back patient high inflation and there is depression. hungary had actually put a price cap on the actual prices. so many people were coming from europe to buy the central here in hungary because it was cheaper and that's gone.

now they remove all the cash on prices. again in order to discourage people from expected indulgence on petrol. but the prevent pharmacy from coming to hungry and buying up all the petro can. that's return now to the conflict in don bass, where our senior correspondent garcia has been following russian soldiers as they carry out clean up operations across territories. now under their control. and what he may find some of the footage in his report disturbing. early a week ago, the town of pre voya was controlled by euclidian forces. the front lines may have moved far away, but this is a clearing operation, a search for ukrainian troops and hiding for weapons ammunition. and of course, the corpses left behind. you stood it for sure with this doesn't seem to have been

irregular ukrainian soldier. first of all, he had a beard, a multi can he war chevrons as you can clearly see, and the servants were removed along with all other insignia and equipment. they never do this with regular service. men in my this is my to pretty much the of mr. radical nationalists, neo nazis and foreign mercenaries hold a privileged position. they are always better av good, better equipped than ukrainian regulars or conscript of them. these are nato type boy casing, so they're mostly used by nationalists and foreign mercenaries. ukrainian conscripts are mostly equipped with old soviet weapons. at 1st glance, this may seem obvious what happened here. this man died, he was left behind by ukrainian soldiers and his compatriots who, who ran. but if you have a look at his injuries, it is obvious that he was torn apart by a shell, a mortar round, most likely,

yet there is no more ta damage. here. damage from shrapnel, the windows are all intact. what this means is that he was likely dragged by ukrainian soldiers from somewhere. he died very quickly. they left him behind, which means there's a high chance that they could have left the surprise here, such as a mine or a booby trap under him. this is a trick we saw employed by as of nationalists said mary, apple. they would mind the bodies of the fallen fighters and civilians alike. there is only one safe solution to tie a rope to the corpse and pool at a safe distance. the fields in front of his house had been turned into a fortress by ukrainian troops. they squad of the atman battalion made up of russian. and chechnya and volunteers allowed us to follow them as they went deeper into the woods, acting on a tip from the locals, where on

a small island clear with bacon during the during the assault on the city, the offensive on the city is or he now with 5 with hearing for of gotten around me searchingly. i got to head have reported that they found a stash of weapons that one. and here what we found was part of their arsenal. bingo. that was who i am a lawyer. these are vo, g, 20 fives. under barrel grenade launcher rounds, when they hit the ground, they bounce up to about a meter and a half and explode very dangerous things. and again, lease was slow going. ordinarily a weapons cache as big as these would have at the very least been booby trapped. but it seems order and military discipline,

among ukrainians here collapsed suddenly and totally. they literally ran squadron macarthur's info. this was their ammunition depot them. this is where they waited for us to cross the river. and all of this we're going to take, we had a look and there are no traps. and all of this is going to fly back at them. at the sentences of museum, the same squad which odds as directly to the head of the chechen republic was amongst those who encircled and entered lease. he chanced they are now on something of a break. tossed with less demanding duties such as clearing operations. but soon i'll be back on the front lines, least time loaded with what the ukranian forces left behind her at gaz. d of o t for approval. yes, lou gods, people's republic with will. next, we delve into why the issue of rissa phobia is not a new development. and indeed why it's a policy that suited many western powers to pursue

a short talk. it's right ahead. oh ah ah ah, during the 2nd world war and nazi occupied poland valencia was

a farming region. today is part of ukraine. between 19431945 members of the ukrainian insurgent army, led by step on bendara. could thousands of poles in valeria, in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process, the merges were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted. the valinda massa is without doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. my al ukrainian politicians, still reluctant to talk about these events, how to modern day ukraine and poland view. this tragedy of the past and wide as the memory of belinda soon divide people

ah ah, the eradication of self ism was also conceived by hitler who formed the general plan ost for the colonization. and jim and ization of eastern europe, the plan involved about 80 percent being killed or relocated me. those labels he knew who i busy you ruined his proceed to me are story up when you might have abuse your dream. yes. because of the new you don't was threatening yet. sailors asked.
