ah ah, biden's mission to ease americans painted the pump is incomplete, as he says, the meeting with the saudi crown prince during his middle east trip is unlikely to reduce gas prices back home with the british army resuming its joint military training program in kenya, locals fair the white phosphorus claim to be used legally by u. k. troops in the area is posing a grave threat to people's health latch model for his mouth. he is, he has home, otherwise we're going to die. and no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it . we are in great danger and it

r t. crew visits the town in the dumbass recently taken by russia. lead forces, we hear from locals who say the town was under fire every day, particularly, we got the sound of these explosions that we can hear. now we've been hearing them for full month with you're watching r t international. my name is peter scott and wherever you joining us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. joe biden. so much hyped meeting with saudi crown. prince. mom had been summoned capes off with a fist bump, but the u. s. presidents has likely not achieved the main goal of his middle east trip and nuts to get more saudi oil to east palm paint for american voters. saudi arabia is in no rush to open his tops for the us, and oil prices actually rose by 2 percent this friday. that's as high petro prices and soaring,

inflation offered the hurting the presidents ratings back home. however, after the meeting with the saudi crown, prince biden has said, the trip won't immediately impact gas prices in the us. you the impact of this visit. i suspect you won't see that for another a cowboys. america needs a 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 install 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 also the normalization of ties. with his role, a journalist asked the american president whether or not saudi was still a per 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 assume 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 that the country had. he seems to forgotten all this. he now, prior to his visit to saudi arabia, the u. s. 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 only 3 is to visit the palestinian city of bethlehem 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 r t to was to them retired usaa force left tenant colonel current krakowski thinks that opec no longer has the sway. one stood this anyway, b is not a global supplier. that it once was. and there are many competing sources of energy and even with saudi arabia used to be, they dominated opec 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 in 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 side favor in terms of, i think the saudi arabia can solve it, oil crisis, it cannot, it does not have the capacity to do that. well, meanwhile, the biden administration is facing accusations of double standards elsewhere in the middle east. the human rights activists has slammed whitehouse plans to set up a new international committee to investigate abuses in yemen, ostensibly at the hands of saudi arabia. he believes the proposed body is

a flawed initiative from the outset. they are working on a very, very bad mechanism that can replace the un. 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 private does have close ties with saudi arabia, itself has been the focus of investigations over the war in yemen. it comes as a u. s. congressional watchdog release to report last month, states in the u. s. has not fully investigated its own role in perpetuating human rights abuses in the country. probes have also revealed that the saudi bombing campaign in yemen under legend war crimes were conducted with us weapons. in january this year, american weaponry was reportedly used in an air strike in yemen, killing at least 80 people. maria is among america's biggest customers when it

comes to sales. and now washington is said to be discussing lifting a bond on the exports of offensive weapons to saudi arabia. that's a progress is made in and in yemen war you have to be stressed so that no agreement has yet been reached. you have any journalist nasa, robbie says the new investigative committee won't be independent. the united states is coming to a former to create a committee. what this committee would be doing. they say that they would, there will be a beeble from the presidential council visit. residents in the residential council was made by saudi decisions. and it is not the independent. it is not to neutral at all. so if they, if they are saying that we want somebody to, to, to whitewash, there were crimes not to investigate, to whitewash that. their crimes, this would be if it happens,

if they say committee is created, it would be, i think, at this sentence, for their human rights in yemen and maybe in the region now that the u. k. military as resumed a joint training program in the former british colony of kenya. commanders have once again admitted they've been deployed white's phosphorus in drills across the area, claiming there are legal purposes behind this. the locals are apparently concerned by the substances health impacts. despite u. k. attempts to whitewash the consequences. artie's donal quarter, explains 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 in 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 people to live here on the dangers of that unexploded ordnance and judge a kid. 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 where we use it for. so we use it to create illumination at night, so we can try to 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 him cuz most of us, especially the elderly and children know nothing about the white phosphorus. and

that is why the british army training unit will keep on using the substance and that no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger, e o e. okay. it was awesome. well, don't really close to the training grounds when not say, i'm really scared because no one is listening to us why phosphorus should not be used here till otherwise we're going to die. i don't know that i was on the white. phosphorus is very dangerous, but the british army will always put on lives in danger because no one will question him on what they think they are above the law. miss ugly, sits 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 effective 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's carried out a strike on thursday on the central ukrainian city of vineyard, sir. the ministry says a ukrainian military building was targeted by a high precision missiles, while commanders were holding a meeting with foreign weapons. suppliers give harvard says that moscow didn't. it's any military targets, but instead had several other buildings in the city. killing 23 people including 3 children. meanwhile, the relentless shelling of done yet city continues just on friday. local

authorities accuse ukraine of foreign 9 shells into the city. and shelling has become something of a norm in cities close to the front line. our seas mirage goes div visited one such town recently taken by russia. 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. in the incessant shelling and the tags, they have also been several close quarters battles as the cranium. ukrainian troops have attempted to spam 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 in and of itself a challenge. the ground, the very air bela got of cur, reverberate with war. in the shadow of

a 2 story apartment building, sat round a rusty makeshift stove, we found a group of civilians full pensioners and a 15 year old boy, i always hear a few steps from the bomb shelter. it was thick as wookey what they give, that it was at the sound of these expressions that we can hear. now we've been hearing them for full months. it way. what can you buy it? aren't you afraid? will ye see it now? it's difficult to get easter, but with accepts of this reality city on this dorothy weekly separately. what they have gone through has left its mark. would of them a jittery on the edge and sole 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. that as you had described is, are protected and they call themselves to punishes, or yeah,

the ones cover, did they say to you go with yes to us. now it protects us only name you said that the last 2 months have been torture you. they would walk around and loot, but they would smash our pickle foods and drinks and then ride on the walls with sway away with it. now if the russians wouldn't get them one, you'd have to be wired up close to where does all this hate come from? what do you mean where from? oh, great, so that propaganda, they are brainwashed, you know all. but the majority of cognition across the don bass, civilians and liberated territories. tell the same story that ukrainian soldiers despise them, viewed them as pro russian, not anywhere near nationalist enough. they hated them, but rap went forth ways. through that the exhausted elder walkering. i am, his majesty was injured to the love. and you love it. when he calls me again,

brook was used to really learn as the heavier work. yes, it did not send them off. i do goes the cook of all home willis, mother not to cook or specialist porcelain his physician. if you listen to your issues, does it roughly pursue yes hunger then supposed to proceed with bella. gov 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 bullock has gotten us volumetric from what all the new our machine gunners put their attack 1st. over control,

he only had one ammunition bells which 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 applies. first aids you can see the bandages catches round up to what you're welcome. lease was ukraine's last attempt at storming bela got of co with infantry. the ukranian 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 like, if i'm on you are a bodily what they then fired back with this. have a look at this launcher model. the machine gunner goes away with a concussion or shanika, but on my feeling is that there were on something that they were walking out in the

open as if they were high and drugs. we've heard the same story before in mary bo 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. and while they couldn't hold the settlement to fight her back, they seemed determined now to erase it entirely north as his ideas with you shouldn't stay here long. any moment the shelling would resume their mortar team is very good. and don't forget your helmets. or i'd get the a r t for bella gorenca la guns people's republic. as fighting in

dom bus continues, the u. s. house of representatives has passed a national defense bill that increases a miniature helps you. cramer significantly caught humanitarian aid to afghanistan . the bill will potentially set a new record for the country's military budgets. a nearly $1840000000000.00. now those $37000000000.00 more than president biden had even requested, and the figure includes another 1000000000 allocated to ukraine. however, the new bill buns, the defense department from funding any transport for humanitarian aid to cobble. and thus, despite some democratic party members in congress stressing the importance of help frock on his done canister on his face. in one of the most horrific jimenez tearing crisis on the planet. we should be doing everything in our power to deliver him an italian assistance to the african people, not men to slay limit indiana. we can supply the decision was made despite repeated warnings that afghanistan, current humanitarian crisis could result in more depth than the 2 decades of war.

us lawmakers on both sides of the political divide are raising the alarm of increased military spending history and international relations analyst jamal working, and believes that washington's policies are plunging. african is done into anarchy . i believe that the united states is deliberately doing this because it wants to get this done. and on the, on the mind, the stability and neighboring countries, especially in central asia. and this way, the united states will undermine the efforts to promote the land of road and initiative that age to boost trade, any or asia, the united states is passing through crisis crisis. they should have spend this money on be taking that structure, decaying infrastructure. they should spend this money on development plans in the united states. you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has announced

a block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bus 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 $600000.00 residents of the done yes and against republics, have already received their russian passports. and according to moscow, the number does continued to grow. but the mere putin simplified the procedure of acquiring the travel documents for residence of dawn bus 3 years ago. citing the dia, humanitarian situation in the conflict zone at the time. we heard from mouth indulge a human rights lawyer who believes the use approach is 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 citizens. and that is

something which is comfortable with human rights, international law and with other legislation. and it's against them as well. a pragmatic way of treating every country in the cool way. if someone is getting a passport by pre will accept, it doesn't matter. it's one government like the other government of the country, which delays that's possible. so if anyone wants to have the past was russia, germany off the u. s. a, the other country should accept the hospital? and i thing as well. we have some laws in the european human rights convention and an international law as well, which means that people shouldn't be discriminated. and there's focus discrimination of the people who don't have any health problems then any longer, it seems that too much focus, though, on the ukrainian crisis,

is backfiring on some you leaders on exacerbating the domestic troubles, sees rachel mazda looks of the emerging domino effect if western establishment leaders figured 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 present dmitri media, if it is online trolling. the most recent member of ukraine's u pompoms club to find himself teetering on the brink and offering his resignation . italian prime minister, mario druggie, turns out that people are a lot less focused on ukraine when they're worried about feeding themselves. ah

drunk relied on is foolish with the populace of the 5 star movement to stay in power who've been 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 at 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, german chancellor, olaf schultz is now caught up in a scandal after his own party acknowledged this week that at least 9 women filed 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 kaya calice lost her populous 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 getting 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 his 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 right to the exclusion of everything else, they risked colliding with it directly and completely rocking themselves. are those the main stories for this? i would do head over to all websites r t dot com or odyssey channel for more news and video content. my name is peter
