a with biden's mission to ease americans pain of the pump is incomplete, as he says, the meeting with the saudi crown prince during his middle east trip is unlikely to reduce the gas prices back home. with the british army resuming his joint miniature training program in kenya, locals fair, the wide phosphorus claim to be used legally by u. k. troops in the area is posing a grave threat for people's health. a. otherwise we are going to die. no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger. bonded out see crew visit the town in the dumbass recently taken by russian lead

forces and has from locals to say the tom was under fire every day. think it was a really good the sound of these explosions that we can hear. now we've been hearing them for 4 months with weekends just begun. hey moscow. my name is peter scotts, and welcome to 30 minutes of news on analysis. here on our t joe biden. much hyped meeting with saudi crown prince, mom had been so man kicked off for the 1st bomb. but the us president has likely not achieve the main goal of his middle east trip enough to get more saudi oil to ease pump, paying for american voters. saudi arabia is in no rush to open his tops for the u. s. and the prices i'd say, rose by 2 percent this friday, that high petro prices and soaring, inflation are further heard, seeing the president's ratings by comb. however,

after the meeting with the saudi crown, prince biden has said, the trip won't immediately impact gas prices in the us to them that to visit. i suspect you won't see that for another. a couple of america needs saudi oil. this is in light of the ukraine, russia conference, not only do they want oil from saudi arabia, but at the same time they want to buy that oil at a cheaper price. now on his arrival, joe biden's welcome was installed, contrast to the welcome of the previous american president, donald trump, when he visited saudi back in 2017. if i hadn't got was a 1st pump from the crown prince. before being ushered into a room for meeting with the saudi king solomon at a press conference afterwards, biden said that the 2 had disgust saudi defensive needs and wants to the normalization of ties. with his role, a journalist asked the american president whether or not saudi was still a poor i, a state to which the president chose not to answer, but there was

a lot of laughter from the saudis prison. this of course, refers back to commented, died, and made when he was on the campaign trail. i with thank you. thank you. thank you. now the americans voice seen themselves as the policeman of the world as the bastion of human rights. and joe biden himself has said that when he would consider which will lead us to deal with what would be of paramount for him was democracy and respect for human rights at the country head. he seems to forgotten all of this. he not prior to his visit to saudi arabia, the u. s. the security adviser said that they were aiming for they to be no vacuum in the middle east for russia and china to take over at the same time. of course, a lot of the concern of biden's visit has been creating an axis against iran, and particularly palestinian leaders and the palestinians street were aware of this with a criticism that prior to going to saudi arabia biden wasn't israel and in the palestinian

areas for 3 days that he found any 3 was to visit the palestinian city of bessy han and meet with the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. so a lot of the focus of the visit here in israel, prior to going to saudi arabia 40 american president, was consolidating this axis against iran. and no doubt, he's going to focus on this during his trip in saudi arabia as well. policy a r t to we sent him retired years force left tenant colonel karen krakowski, things that opec no longer has the sway wants to it is honey ravia is not the global supplier that it once was on. there are many competing sources of energy and even with saudi arabia used to be, they dominated ok, and they don't anymore. i mean, opec doesn't, doesn't have this way that it used to have. so this idea that, you know, you go,

you want to, well, you go to saudi arabia, well, it's, it's a global, fungible commodity. and so anything that they do, even minor increases even accepting lower prices, which i, i don't think they'll do. even that will not make a fundamental difference, certainly in the american oil prices or, or global oil availability. i think if you look at the numbers, you know, i think by noon just blowing smoke, i don't think he has looked at the numbers. the numbers aren't, aren't in the united states favor or the western sides favor in terms of seeing the saudi arabia can solve it, oil crisis, it cannot, it does not have the capacity to do that. meanwhile, the biden administration is facing accusations of double standards elsewhere in the middle east. the human rights are to this has slammed wides house funds to set up a new international committee to investigate abuses in yemen, extensively of the hands of saudi arabia. he believes the proposed body is a flawed initiative from the very outset. they are working on a very,

very bad mechanism that can replace that ends. first of all, the starting point is that the mandate is weak and 2nd, it is not independent at all. according to reports, the us state department is considering including representatives from humans, presidential leadership council in the new committee. the group out of those have close ties with saudi arabia, who itself has been the focus of investigations over the war in yemen. it comes as a us congressional watchdog released a report last month, stating the u. s. has not fully investigated his own role in perpetuating human rights abuses in the country. robes have also revealed that the saudi bombing campaign in yemen under legend, war crimes were conducted with us weapons. in january this year, american weapons was reportedly used in an air strike in yemen, killing at least 80 people react, is among america's biggest customers when it comes to arm sales. and now washington is said to be discussing, lifting

a bond on the export of offensive weapons to saudi arabia. if progress is made in ending the evan war, but no agreement has been reached so far. yes, and a journalist nasa, robbie says the new investigative committee won't be independent. the united states is coming to a former to could yet, a committee was this committee would be doing. they say that they would, there will be a beeble from their presidential council visitors edition residential council was made by saudi decisions. and it is not the independent. it is not to neutral at all. so they are saying that we want somebody to do a whitewash. there were crimes not to investigate to whitewash that. their crimes. this would be if it happens, if this is timothy is carliette it, it would be, i think, at this sentence for their human rights in the emmon and maybe in the

reagan now that the u. k. military has resumed a joint training program in the form of british colony of kenya. commanders have once again admitted that they've been deploying white phosphorus in drills across the area, claiming there are legal purposes behind this. the locals are apparently concerned by the substances health impacts. despite you k attempts to whitewash, the consequences are seized on quarter house. the story great. britain's once again, conducting military exercises in its former colony of kenya, the 2 countries just signed an agreement for closer military cooperation. and british troops are cleaning up after the latest drills to make sure the locals don't get hurt. can you defense force and the u. k. army come together to conduct a range sweep of the unexploded ordnance on that kenya training areas that we use here. and to educate the are the people that live here on the dangers of that unexploded ordnance and to educate and so that they don't pick it up,

they don't play with it and they don't cause a danger for themselves. so everything should be fine, right? not exactly the queen subjects have a long history of breaking the rules and violating people's rights in the region. for example, their use of white phosphorus, which international law prohibits when used against military targets near civilians . international humanitarian law allows the use of white phosphorus for certain methods for certain uses, and that's what we use it for. so we use it to create illumination at night, so we can fight at night. it also produces smoke, which provides a smokescreen for us to be able to fight. sure, the brits technically aren't breaking any rules by using it for smoke screens and light shows. but that doesn't mean people living near their playground of war are happy about it. i yo, guy, most of us, especially the elderly and children know nothing about the white phosphorus. that is why the british army training unit will keep on using the substance and i will no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger. e o e o

kids was awesome. went to read close to the training grounds. we're not saying i'm really scared because no one is listening to us. why to fuss for should not be used . he, i told otherwise we're going to die. i was then under that i wasn't sure why else 1st is very dangerous, but the british army will always put on lives in danger because no one will question mama, they think they are above the law. one is, like we said last year, british soldiers even started a raging forest fire in the area to this day, they've gone unpunished and london's not entirely admitting blame accidents do happen. it's not great and we're really sorry. and we really wish it hadn't happened. we are doing everything we can to mitigate their circumstances and put in place measures to ensure it never happens. again. that's not even to mention the canyon women who were allegedly raped and even killed by british soldiers. despite the many complaints kenya and the u. k failed to take effect of measures to investigate such claims to bring the alleged perpetrators to justice,

ensure adequate reparations for the victims and prevent further attacks. who knows if justice will ever be served for these crimes, seeing as it's unlikely any one will hold them accountable. one thing looks pretty clear though things would be better if the british army left altogether the russian m. o. d has confirmed it carried us a strike on thursday on the central ukrainian city of denisa. the ministry says a ukrainian military building was targeted by high precision missiles, while commanders were holding a meeting with foreign weapons supplies. here however, says the moscow didn't have any military targets, but instead had several of the buildings in the city killing 23 people including 3 children. meanwhile, the relentless shelling of done esc city continues just on friday. local authorities accused ukraine of firing 9 shells into the city. shelling has become something of a norm in cities close to the front line,

osmotic sd of this one such town recently taken by russian lead forces. ah, for about a week now, the town of bella, god, of god, has been a frontier community. it is mangled, severely, mangled by the endless and the incessant shilling and the tags. they have also been several close quarters battles as the premium ukrainian troops have attempted to stem the village out of the wooded areas that rise above it in the hills above it. the community is remarkable for one reason. a lot of civilians still left here, but reaching them is even of itself a challenge. the ground, the very air bela got of reverberated with war in the shadow of a 2 story apartment building, sat around

a rusty makeshift stove. we found a group of civilians, full pensioners, and a 15 year old boy are always here. a few steps from the bomb shelter. it was big as the wookey, what they give the re we've got the sound of these expressions that we can hear. now, we've been hearing them for full months. it the way what you buy it, aren't you afraid? we used to now it's difficult to get used to it, but with accept this reality city, i need to rest weekly. that way. what they have gone through has left its mark. would of them a jittery on the edge and sold weary. but make no mistake. the shelves and blasts are only part of the reason that treatment at the hands of ukrainian soldiers made it so much worse. those who are described as are protected, they call themselves to punishes or yeah, the ones cover, did they say to you grow with yes to us. now it protects us. only name the last 2

months have been torture you. they would walk around and loot. they would smash our pickle foods and drinks and then ride on the walls with swear words like that. now the russians wouldn't get them one. you have to be wired up close to where does all this hate come from? what do you mean where from it? so that propaganda, they are brainwashed, not old, but the majority of good. when it goes, it was you was 3, lou lou with those the games you hear her viola? yes, it does not said oh do goes that younger? couple home willis. mother is not oclock wash, but charlotte bra slash pleasure. yes. did you listen to your wish? was it rosy? pursued yes. hunger then supposed to proceed with bella, god of co was the last major settlement to be liberated at the la god's people's

republic. it was symbolic by the entire region lost the key if that may explain why they have tried her race it from afar. that is after trying to fight it back up close, which has gotten us volumetric from with all the new our machine gunners put her there at sack 1st. you know the question, he only had one ammunition bells was he fired? well covered his retreat. i spotted 2 of them here. i had one and his partner, drugs him over here on april 1st. this is where he applied for said you can see the bandages ketter's round up of what you're welcome. lease was ukraine's last attempt at storming. bela got africa with infantry, the gradient troops who died here were left behind by the survivors. this has become something of a trademark of ukrainian forces, leaving behind their dead men, writing them off as missing in action. his family will still have hope. and here he

is abandoned by his compatriots. we will know his school side. it was or lick it, put them on. you are both only what they then fired back with this. have a look at this launcher model. the machine gunner got away with a concussion. i shanika wood on my feeling is that there were on something actually they were walking out in the open as if they were high and drugs. we've heard the same story before and mario bull nationalists who could fight without eating or drinking, or sleeping for days, who most likely had the access to amphetamines and stimulants. much like here. but they didn't help around bella, god of cur, houses and basements. those that weren't destroyed are strewn with the belongings of ukrainian soldiers moll. they couldn't hold the settlement to fight her back.

they seem determined now to erase it entirely. nor does is i just open the room. you shouldn't stay here long. any moment the shelling would resume their motor team is very good. and don't forget your helmet. or i'd gas d a r t for bella gorenca la guns people's republic. as fighting in dumbass continues, the u. s. house of representatives has passed a national defense bill increases, miniature helps ukraine, but significantly cuts humanitarian aid to afghanistan. the bill will potentially set a new record for the countries budget said nearly $840000000000.00. now last 37000000000 more than president biden had even requested. and i figure includes another 1000000000 allocates its ukraine. however, the new bill bonds, the defense department, from funding any chance form for humanitarian aid to cobble. and as despite some democratic party members in congress, stressing the importance of help rock honest,

done scanning on his face. and 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 in the age we can supply mother me of combs, despite the international rescue committee repeatedly warning that the current humanitarian crisis in african is done could result in even more death than the recent 2 decades of war in the country. us lawmakers on both sides of the political divide have also been voicing concern that military spending has got out of control history and international relations. unless jermel work, he believes that washington's policies towards african is done pledging the country into chaos. i believe that the united states is deliberately doing this because they're going to drive up again. it's done and all the on the mind. the stuff realty and neighboring countries, especially in central asia. and this way,

the united states could undermine the efforts to promote the land of road and initiative that age to boost trade in your asia, the united states is passing through crisis economic crisis. they should have spend this money on the taking that an actual decaying in process. they should spend this money on development plans. in the united states. you foreign policy chief, you'll say, barrel has announced the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bus residence. the 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, unless guns republics have already received their russian passports. and according to moscow, the number does continue to grow. but even if it's in simplified,

the procedure of acquiring the travel document for residents of don bass 3 years ago, citing the dia, humanitarian situation in the conflict zone. at the time. earlier we heard from martin dull sir human rights lawyer. he believes that he use approaches inappropriate, since it violates the principles of the european human rights convention. to my mind is kind of strange and you make a little inviting people in different class. and that is something which is competent with human rights, international law. and with other legislation and it's against, as well as a pragmatic way of treating every country in equally if someone is getting a passport by pre will accept, it doesn't matter if the government like the government of the country which delays, that's possible. so if anyone wants to have the pass was russia,

germany off the u. s. a, the other country? sure. except that passport i thing as well. we have some law in the u. p. n. human rights convention and international law as well. which means that people shouldn't be discriminated, and this phone course, discrimination of the people who don't have any crops then any longer. so it seems that too much focus on the ukrainian crisis is backfiring on you leaders, exacerbating their domestic troubles, ortiz, rachel mazda, and looks at the emerging domino effect if, what's the establishment leaders sticker that the conflict in ukraine would consolidate, support for them to the exclusion of everything else going on inside their own countries turns out that they were wrong. even worse, it's starting to look like their handling of the situation. ukraine is exacerbating their own troubles at home, and their own people are knocking them down like bowling pins, which hasn't gone unnoticed by former russian president. dimitri med yet. if it is

online trolling the most recent number of ukraine's you pompom squad to find himself teetering on the brink and offering his resignation is a telling prime minister mario druggie. turns out that people are a lot less focused on ukraine when they're worried about feeding themselves. ah, drug relied on his coalition with the populace of the 5 star movement to stay in power. who's in slamming him for his ukraine policies at the 5 star movement. we are absolutely opposed to a military escalation because it would mean further suffering and carnage. so we are opposed to ever more lethal weapons. it is not

a question of the type of armament, but of the political direction. if it is that of defending oneself or counter attacking, to be clear, we are opposed to it being ever more lethal ever heavier, we don't want to send tanks. populist officials have tapped into significant concern among italians with 45 per cent of citizens against sending military a to ukraine. u. k. prime minister boris johnson was planked, walked by his own tory party and cabinet, exasperated in the wake of a series of domestic scandals. french president emanuel mack whole lost his absolute majority in parliament last month to the benefit of opposition populace to have wasted no time in blocking his legislative agenda, raising the prospects of a lame duck presidency just 3 months into his new 5 year term. at least nicole was able to bask in the admiration of his fans during the recent bastille day celebrations. ah,

durant, chancellor, all of schultz is now caught up in a scandal after his own party acknowledged this week that at least 9 women file police complaint alleging that they were given a date, rape drug at the annual summer bash attended by schultz and his parties, and peace as stony and prime minister kai, a callous lost her populace coalition partner last month when they disagreed with her aunt. i rush an approach to the situation in ukraine, although she was able to cobble together enough backing to hang in there. inflation in estonia is the highest of the entire euro zone, and it's the populace who are gaining ground in estonia and everywhere else in europe to the detriment of these establishment fixtures. who may not have even hit rock bottom yet. berlin just set aside 2400000000 euros for ukrainian refugees, even as german taxpayers are told to brace for. energy shortage is due to the use

on sanctions. a warning? also, acro echoed here in paris. ukraine is all these leaders have on their minds these days. it's the big rock in the middle of the bike path. and by obsessing over right to the exclusion of everything else, the rest colliding with it directly and completely rocking themselves. well, that's a rough for now. whatever you're up to this weekend. i hope you're having a great one. i'm peter scott's. i'll be back again in 30. but do stay tuned from all great programs. quin up here nazi ah. a show you the most for so for you do with russia is the aggression no good for ands or buts about i need a key. what we're gonna do to move to new should slow border ratio. we have any quality for russians. can all we gotta do is just read them over the head and just

tell them the right way to live near is going to do it a little bit. a boy with the boy, you accumulate a supporter. i'm with a lot of nice gloves with national has been used to be a for the new sure really changes with our season. it actually works well with the wash with

ah, if one just simply looks at a map of bases and massage stations. i mean, it's, are, it's more than coincidental that russia is actually being surrounded and being targeted as an enemy. i mean, the ridiculous notion that massage systems and rewarding out there to protect europe from iran. iranian massage strikes. i mean, this is the level of deception that goes on ah, ah

a city with her from others that grew up old number with grandma about a lot of don't bought a lot quicker. yeah. did you all with

with you she's give us a little she is a good for you. if there was a level great argument, you much, anybody out that there was a side you got laid them, they need that most do. leaving in that book i watched on yours won't be in the store with with these are people fleeing from southeastern ukraine. some have been bomb shelters for nearly 3 weeks. there was no phone

reception, so many had no idea how to get out of town with is let me see if he's done with pleasure. but i'm sure that there's a.
