blamed russia for the death of a u. k. citizen detained in the done yet republic. paul uri was arrested in april and accused by the republics authorities of helping to hire foreign mercenaries, london, and says he was a humanitarian worker. our teach for mon cost roof has more for us from the bus. according to the human rights, almost woman of the nice people's republic zarina morales, of british officials, including the foreign office for embassy in moscow and even some members of the british parliament or all notify that full laurie was actually captured. and she also added that said during the initial medical checkup pl uri was diagnosed with a number of for chronic illnesses. and i'm going to outline just us some of them for you that includes insulin dependent said diabetes. damage to the respiratory system, kidneys, and a number of diseases to the cardiovascular system as well. now she said that the

british officials were also notified about his illnesses, however, that it had been a no reaction to the news of his capture or about his illnesses and in his people's republic. prosecutor's office also confirmed that he did indeed died from our chronic diseases and they also shared some details about the charges that he was presented with your liberal quarter to advance can release the genetic republics. prosecutor general's office is investigating the death of the detained you cases. in colliery again, he is accused of helping to recruit mercenaries, but according to preliminary data, his death was the result of the chronic disease. as he had an interesting that he was provided with all necessary medication and was getting timely and qualified medical help while the hospitals are public. officials insist that so paula eurey was instrumental in helping train and recruit mercenaries. the british foreign office blames a russia for the death of the case. citizens saying that say he was nothing but

said aid worker. so there are inconsistencies up there by myself being here in dentist sky requested right away to find out more about the circumstances surrounding the death of this say u k. ah national. so besides the statement from the prosecutor are also good visit the prison, where he was held and actually spoke to a couple of his cellmates. and they also confirm to me that he was getting all the medical help that he needed to have a lot of pain and difficulties to breathe. we tried to help him as much as we could and help him to get contact with a doctors and medical stuff here at also not a hospital in prison with

no knowledge of his previous history, medical history. and from what paul will say, we do a full works to do diagnoses, a hospital at the moment, we're waiting for official documents from the dentist people's republic regarding the death of the u. k. a national law here in captivity at once. we get those documents, we will share all of them without viewers. okay, something else to update you on. on a busy news day, the u. s. house of representatives has passed a national defense bill that increases washington's military help to ukraine. but strikes a significant blow for humanitarian aid to afghanistan. big money, the bill will see congress said a new record for the country's military budget at $840000000000.00. in fact, that's 37000000000 more than president biden had even requested. that figure

includes another $1000000000.00 allocated to ukraine. however, the new belt bombs, the defense department, from funding any transport for humanitarian aid to couple of the spy, some democratic party members in congress. stressing the importance of health for afghanistan scanning on his face in one of the most horrific him in italian crisis on the planet. we should be doing allison in our power to deliver him an italian assistance to the african people. not made this limit. indeed, we can supply the move comes despite the international rescue committee repeatedly warning that the current humanitarian crisis enough gallons done could result in even more debts than the recent 2 decades of war in the country. us lawmakers, saul both sides of the political divide, have also been voting concern that military spending has gotten out of control history. international relations analysts, jo, what team believes washington's policies towards that kind of stuff is plunging the

country into anarchy. i believe that the united states is deliberately doing this because it wants to get this done. and on the, on the devotee and neighboring countries, especially in central asia, this way, the united states was, undermine the efforts to promote land of road and initiative that age to boost the trade in your asia. the united states is passing through crisis economic crisis. they should have spend this money on be taking that in fact, you decaying infrastructure. they should spend this money on development plans in the united states. president biden has arrived in saudi arabia on the final leg of his middle east to her, but part of the trip was raised more than a few eyebrows after the president previously vowed to make the country a pariah over the murder of during this jamal cas shoji but his no,

calling the nation, a partner telling me more earlier ortiz policy or on friday afternoon, the american president deposit from israel, he directly to jadae in saudi arabia, making him the 1st american president to make that flight. because of course, saudi arabia does not recognize israel. earlier on friday, the saudi government announced that was opening, it's a space to israeli pain. so that is a 1st, the american president ahead of his visit did say that its purpose was to reset relationships between america and saudi arabia. but as you correctly mentioned, it wasn't so long ago that he referred to saudi arabia as a provider estate falling. the 2018 killing of the saudi journalist jamal kashodi. now the americans have always made out that they are the bastion of human rights, that they are the policeman of the world if you like. and it was this with this in mind that joe biden had these harsh mot remarks to make about saudi arabia not such

a long time ago. and i would make it very clear, we were not going to sell more weapons to them. we were 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 government of saudi arabia, wilson, making them a pariah. we now see joe biden reaching out to the saudis in an offer of partnership and friendship. he says he seems to have turned a blind eye to the heavy criticism that washington has laid on the saudi government in the past, over what it has caught it. indiscriminate activities, shootings in yemen, the americans voice criticize the saudi role in their conflict, and at the same time they've turned a blind al, to saudi's catastrophic record of human rights abuses. the question of course, is why and the answer. so he's very clear to people here in the region. it is because of oil following the russia ukraine war. you have the americans now urgently seeking new partners to provide them with oil. so it's clearly understood

that this is my joe biden is in saudi arabia, and he also wants to receive not only more supplies of well that receive it at a cheaper price we are. you did hear from the you a security adviser saying that another reason for this visit is that the americans wanted to make sure that they would beat no vacuum in the middle east. that would allow for russia all for china to move in. and another issue on each end of course, will be the formation of an axis against iran. we so he saw that earlier when biden was show in israel and the palestinian territories. a lot of that discussion did revolve around iran, and it will be interesting to see what comes out if anything, from his trip and from his meetings to saudi arabia. meanwhile, the biden administration is facing accusations of double standards elsewhere in the middle east by human rights activists has slumped white house plans to set up a new international committee to investigate abuses in yemen, ostensibly at the hands of saudi arabia. he believes that proposed body is

a flawed initiative right from the off they're working on a very, very bad mechanism that can replace that you n's. first of all, the starting point is that the mandate is weak and 2nd, it is not independent at all. according to reports, the u. s. states department is considering including representatives from yemen, presidential leadership council, in the new committee. that is very significant because the grouping has close ties with saudi arabia, itself has been the focus of investigations over the war in yemen. and it comes as a u. s. congressional watchdog released the report last month, stating the u. s. has not fully investigated its own rule and perpetrating human rights abuses in the country. probes have also reveal up to saudi bombing campaign in the country, and alleged war crimes were conducted with us weapons in not 30 regard in january this year, american weaponry was reportedly used in a nurse strike india. and you remember this killing at least 80 people react is

among americans biggest customers when it comes to arm seals. now washington is said to be discussing the thing, a bomb on the export of offensive weapons to saudi arabia. if progress is made an ending, the yemen were on that front. no agreement has been reached so far. yeah. many journalists, nasa, robbie said the new investigative committee won't be 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, but from the residence hall council visit president. the residual council was made by saudi decisions. it is not independent. it is not to neutral at all. so they are saying that we want somebody to, to, to whitewash the crimes not to investigate, to why it was that, that grimes,

this would be if it happens, if this committee is created, it would be, i think, at this sentence, for the human rights in yemen, and maybe in the region. well, joe biden met with his palestinian counterpart in bethlehem on friday morning as part of his middle east tour. the visit to the west bank though, was marked by protests with demonstrators, angered by biden's support for israel had all that's the white house allies. hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid for palestinians of the u. s. extra per relations with the state. but some residents, all bethlehem that we spoke to, felt ignored by the us despite the high profile visit. i think his visit to little him. it's like a legit visit to the church. our president. you can see what, how much of the time he's been to his own and how many times you spend and all sites in our side. he's spent like just one hours. we are on that before 73

years. i don't think's just like this visit. we can put a lot of situation. i don't think anything will move, you know, we've been under this tuition for nearly 70 years. we are okay. why do we need the freedom? so we hope so, some of our suffering as well as the names we should see, the will, he should see how we present a check for the even a pass, very free that check what not like we do. he came just so med like a beast with another country, like he is flies come from here. back to sort of the area. if he came to, if he came through like, you know, to movies here, you have to wor, carter, you don't talk about 2 hours. so one hours here. it's not that, not enough. you know, well biden's press conference with the palestinian leadership wasn't without an awkward moment. they awaited the event journalist but a photo of slain. jazeera journalist, serene and black, lay on

a chair or killing back in may. while she was covering on this really operation in the west bank, outraged palestinians, and lead to both sides in the conflict, treating blame and wild biden condemned to violence. the president had some trouble pronouncing her name in the united states has suffered a loss as well, including the killing and sharing abu kailey, sure lanky, his prime minister, has been sworn in as being president. ronnie leigh wicker missing has promised to restore law and order in the country after recent demonstrations and violent protest grip the south asian country. on thursday, the resignation of president gossip bio roger pack that was officially confirmed by the news drove massive celebrations, erupt it across the country or you're in the week. the presidential residents will storm by protestors 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 some new presidential elections by the will be held in parliament next week. much will despise many sure. lincoln's hoping a new, brighter chapter is ahead. the countries still faces a whole host of crises including a severe fuel shortage or take our spawning from june sharma picked up the story. a half with me. i think monday morning. critical. i don't know. no. with

now, with a long time, we come to an end, it's going to say, well, energy and food crises are raging across africa as well. with more than 2000000 people facing acute hunger in cameron not submitted growing shortage of fuel in the country. let's show you this footage, drivers chewing up petrol stations for days, some of them. the government's not pumping money into the market to bring price is done us despite the international monetary fund, opposing states, up to things on the fuel, local se, 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 and 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 are stations where we can find diesel, but they don't allow it to be taken with a canister. so now we have cars that are broken down dry. what do we do? do we put the car in our head to come and get fuel? the economic crisis extends well beyond cameroon, with an eye 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 off their foreign debt says more than doubled in the last 6 months. the worst had country's her home to almost a 1000000000 people with el salvador pakistan, ghana, and egypt. they are the most vulnerable head of the national youth development agency in south africa for years. a full blown humanitarian disaster is eminent

w medicaid in crisis. if he does not take the many getting the impact on migration, we certainly need to be going into the library, cynthia indicator of the potentially think of what we cannot make. decisions are often made based on police go to prevent a domino effect government, do we need to be carefully in how they manage monetary policy over the next? ah, each foreign policy chief usa barrell has a nice the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bounce residence the new russian legislation. now simplifying the procedure for all ukrainians to obtain russian citizenship is yet another flagrant violation of ukrainian sovereignty. the you will not recognize these passports more than 600000 residents of the done yes. can lu ganske republics have already received their

russian passports? and according to moscow, the number continues to grow louder were simplified, the procedure of acquiring the trouble document for residence at dawn bus 3 years ago. citing the dire humanitarian situation and the conflicts on the time was pleasure. the welcome live onto the program. martin doors are human rights lawyer and member of the left party in germany. martin, welcome to you. how is such a nice pin compatible with democracy and human rights embraced by the e. u. people have simply expressed their will to get russian passport, should they not, then just get one. of course that's not competent because if someone is getting a passport by free will be accepted, doesn't matter if one government like the other government of the country which the late that's possible. so if anyone wants to have a pass was russia,

germany, or off the u. s a, the other country? sure. except that passport i think, as well, we have some law in the european human rights convention and international law as well, which means that people should be discriminated and this course discrimination. often people are gone. us who don't have any problems any longer because maybe the ukrainian passport has worn out and then they get a new cost from russia and as well. it should be accepted. yeah, it opens up a pandora's box. i would suggest martin legally recognizing some citizens passports, but then not others. yes, it's like if you at least then need to be a special instrument to find out who has no real russian passport or the russian cross border will be done by the people. this means that there is

a non equal treatment of people. and of course, that open some kind of you will have a lot diplomatic to was. i think that should be turned around a $180.00 degrees and they should be diplomatic me to open new dialogue to war and new dialogue to acceptance of each that we one and another measuring up each other which as well complicated situation for every normal citizen so that is the wrong way. the european union is going now to my mind. i was looking at a russian international passport earlier. it does not specify where it was issued that region. so will that then lead to restrictions affecting all of brushes, citizens, potentially. there's so many issues around this decision isn't there? yes. well that's,

that's what i meant before. it's not clear whether passport is now russian prosper given to russian citizen who came from, let's say, last off, and already been done by this is. and so of course it's open the door will have a treasury treatment, was accusing somebody having such a document it's, it's something i don't know, i didn't have no longer research on it. to my mind isn't kind of strange new mechanism of dividing people in different class citizens. and that is something which isn't competent with human rights, with international law and with other legislation. and it's against, as well as a pragmatic way of treating every citizen of a country in equal way. if this does go ahead, what kind of reaction do you expect,

perhaps from moscow to follow? if you have no extra reaction, next could be the same. but what kind of escalation spiral could that be? i think that it leads into something like non respecting the documents of another country, open stall, which leads into more and more p day sion of the world. and this is not what you're looking for as human or human rights. as all the people would think that at least we should keep to the rules were given to the international community by the united nation and given the european union by the european convention of human rights, where discrimination as well is banned and call called ego. so i think this is opening dos which we don't want to come through. so all of you

my list and come across the process and the union should say and try to fall. so you will be in commission and the european union to not to a step like this because it just is something normal citizens that can be the way coming out of conflict. speaking to us from hamburg, martin told her human rights lawyer unsocial, a just thank you. thank you. have a nice, you know, the hungary and prime minister said european economies have caught shop themselves in the lungs by bundling russian fuel imports. that's as hungry, declared a state of emergency over type thing, energy supplies. initially, i thought we had only shot ourselves in the foot, but now it is clear that the european economy has shut 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 aren't even more. busy of its gas comes from moscow under the state of emergency plans hungry will not boost its own production of natural gas. some expand its purchases from other countries according to the plumb price caps on utility bills. for high usage households, they will not be lifted. and we heard the thoughts of locals about the scheme i did, they could, yes, we now 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. and how could it not? my pension is low, that i have nothing else to say deductions bands. well, i live on 49000 florence horror. i am outraged again. i have 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. the hungry was wall of a few. e, you states which refuse to impose energy sanctions on russia. this, by pressure from the block, budapest said a european oil boy called would be quote, an atomic bomb for its economy and destroy its stable energy supply, global a for especially georgia. zamarelli spoke to me earlier, he believes hungry was forced to remove the camp on gas prices as its neighbors were taking advantage of the shape supplied. 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 world of back lation high inflation and there is depression. hungary had actually put a price on the actual prices. so many people were coming from europe

to buy that central here in hungary because it was cheaper and that's gone. now they've, they removed all the cash on prices. again, in order to discourage people from expected indulgence actual but also prevents pharmacy from coming to hungry and buying up all the petrol. george zamarelli. now as we enter the weekend, do keep on top of all the developments affecting your world today by giving our website some of your strolling time promise. you will be bored from the team on myself. you normally buy for not the ah

ah. throwing good money after bad. this is what's happening because of the west obsession to weaken russia when backing the failed regime in care. this obsession is so acute that western leaders are sacrificing the well being of their own citizens. ukraine. fatigue is only a matter of time ah ah ah ah ah ah.
