[000:00:00;00] with, according to, with, with the russian defense minister orders troops on the front line to increase their operations to prevent ukrainian forces from striking civilian areas. mosque also say, or strikes have almost entirely destroyed a brigade near it. keep on bow sitting with resident biden's, hopes of easing that pain. americans are feeling at the pumps are dashed for. he admits his meeting with the saudi crown. prince won't need any immediate impact. ah,

you k military will resume joint training in the former british colony of kenya, plans to continue their use of white phosphorus, posing a grave threat to people's health and gets alleged glucose share their fear with melt here told otherwise we are going to die. no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger. a saturday afternoon for pm here in moscow. welcome. where every year catching that, use our from today. i'm, you know, meet the russian defense minister has ordered trips to stamp off apparitions and all marries of the ukraine conflicts own stating it's needed to prevent key of forces from targeting civilians. in don bos strikes are continuing against ukrainian troops. the m. o. d saves one brigade in particular near the key done yet

. city severus has suffered heavy losses with a run $600.00 trips killed in russian. r. strikes of the past 2 days must go on some 200 ukrainian soldiers on foreign mercenaries are also killed by high precision weapons in the city. of nikolai, of the well local authorities have confirmed 5 civilians were killed by ukrainian shelling and done yet. city overnight. and earlier today, saturday, another person died following strikes in total more than 250 civilians have been killed in that done yet. republic since february, according to officials of shelling has become a tragic norm in cities close to the front line. there are senior correspondent off gasdio visited one area now under the control of russian lead forces, who are hoping for a quieter future. a warning you may find some of the footage from his report

disturbing. ah, for about a week now, the town of bella, god of gut, has been a frontier community. it is mangled, severely mangled by the endless and the incessant shelling and the tax. they have also been several close quarters bottles of cranium. ukrainian troops have attempted to stem the village out of the wooded areas that rise above us in the hills above it. the community is remarkable for one reason. a lot of civilians still left here, but reaching them ease even of itself, challenge the ground, the very a bill of god of reverberate 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 the 15 year old boy,

i always hear a few steps from the bomb shelter. it will because the wookey, what they give the re, we've got the sound of these explosions that we can hear. now. we've been hearing them for 4 months. it the way what you buy is aren't you afraid we're used to it now? it's difficult to get east to it, but we've accepted this reality city. i miss dorothy quickly stepped away. 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. there's who i described is our protective and they call themselves the punishes. are yet the ones cover? did they say to you? go with yes to us. now it protects us. only name the last him and have been torture . you. they would walk around and loot. but they would smash our pickles foods and

drinks and then right on the was with swear words. when it now the russians wouldn't get them. once you're, as you be wild, up close to where does all this hate come from? what day mean? where from it's all their propaganda, they are brainwashed. you know all that the majority here on your snow, 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 the exhausted elsa, rome, i as noticed the wizard to their lung luggage. and because the damper was who was really early runner, girls begin to hear her viola. yes, it does not said the modem goes the cook of all home willis. mother is not

a cook or specialist porcelain his friends if you wish to your wish was it? ruthie 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. look at it on 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 while covering his retreat. i spotted 2 of them here. i hit one and his partner drags him over here. hold on april whiska. this is where he applied 1st aid. you can see the bandages scattered

around when you're welcome. this was ukraine's last attempt at storming bela got of co with infantry. the gradient troops who died here were left behind by the survivors. business 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 thought about that he would lay then fired back with this. have a look at this launcher model. the machine gunner got away with a concussion. i should shanika with on my feeling is that there were on something there were woken out in the open as if they were high on 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, good of cur, houses and basements. those that weren't destroyed or 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 helmet. or i'd guess the a r t for bella gorenca la guns people's republic threats crack on with another, a headline. stories today, jo biden's, much hyped meeting with the saudi crown. prince smith kicked off with a friendly fist pump, but the u. s. president doesn't appear to have achieved his main goal of persuading

the country to increase its oil. i put in order to ease the pain, americans are feeling up. they pumps. not saudi arabia is in no rush to open. it stops for the united states. indeed. or the price is actually rose by 2 percent on friday. that says high petrol prices and soaring, inflation are further hurting biden's ratings. back home, after the meeting with mom had been sell man, the american leader admitted there won't be any immediate impact on prices at home . you the impact of this visit? i suspect you won't see that for another a couple weeks. 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 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 salmon 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 pariah 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 leaders 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 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, is role. and in the palestinian areas for 3 days that he found only 3 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 a r t to we sit him down just staying with their story. retired u. s. or

a force officer according petoskey believes that saudi arabia and opec no longer have the influence. they once enjoyed sunny radius, not a 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, ok, 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 the saudi arabia can solve the oil crisis. it cannot,

it does not have the capacity to do that. us lawmakers have approved an amendment to exempt india from sanctions for purchasing russian weapons . the pseudonym kepsa law, which stands for country america's adversary's through sanctions act is and meant to punish cooperation with american adversaries like iran, north korea, and russia. the lawmakers said the waiver for india will allow the strengthening of the u. s. on delhi defense partnership. back in 2018, india signed a deal worth billions of dollars with moscow to buy 5 units of russia's asked $400.00 or defense missiles systems on was threatened with sanctions by then president from. now if the waiver gets to present biden's desk for a signature, it will allow you to skirt us punitive measures. well,

i comes of the u. s. in india have recently been in disagreement over the conflict in ukraine. as new delhi husband opened the condemned russian actions and has taken a neutral dance stop has annoyed washington quite a lot. and it comes given its long standing relationship with moscow and heavy reliance on russian arms. and indeed, some energy to here's our t contributor, r t ticket, giving us some insight into that u. s. food d gotcha act which is essentially countering american was at work threes through factions act. and this fundamentally, and that, any part, any strategic partner or anybody who is an ally of the u. s. cannot be trading or can not be buying weapons in those. in fact,

i'm different from russia. and if they do, there will be penalty. there will be sanctions, india has managed to get a reword since 2017 problem, the u. s. with respect to this sanction fact, because america values india as off know to as a value, a strategic partner, the amendment that has been brought to by the u. s. from this rule, cannot. this is very significant because of the own way was in your brain slide. the u. s. is now trying everything possible to your india on each side and is trying to essentially limit india's relationship with russia. ah, the u. k. military has a 9 states to resume a joint training program in kenya,

but the locals are unhappy and nervous after commanders admitted they've been deploying white fos for string drills in the former british colony. and we'll continue to do so at claiming there are quote, legal purposes behind use of the chemical substance. rtp don quarter can phillotson 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 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, to suffolk, went to maria close to the training grounds. when not say, i'm really scared because no one is listening to us why trust for should not be

used here till otherwise we're going to die. our 10 under that was on the 5th white . phosphorus is very dangerous, but the british army will always put on lives in danger because no one will question in 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 can know the story to bring u e. u foreign policy chief usa barrel has announced that block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bounce residents. 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 self, they done yet scandalous, ganske republic, savell ready receive the russian passports on. according to moscow, that number is going to grow. vladimir putin simplified the procedure of acquiring the travel document for residents often bus 3 years ago, citing the dyers humanitarian situation in the conflict zone at the time. i spoke to martin dole her a german human rights lawyer who believes the use approaches,

misguided and 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 competent with human rights and international law and with other legal nation. and it's against, as well, 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 other government of the country, which delays that's possible. so if anyone wants to have a 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 is that people shouldn't be discriminated,

and this focus discrimination off the people who don't have any passports. then any longer, as a russian exclaimed, if it's already physically cut off from the mainland. but colleen and grub is finding itself even more isolated lithuania, slap restrictions on trade, flowing to the baltic territory, and now near bring love fear how suspended its agreement with moscow. that simplifies border crossings. a russian truck driver saw his visa suspended when he refused to be caught up in politics. new the upper hydro granular blue. i crossed the border from russia to los via officers, checked my documents, and put an entry stamp. then a man came out and took me to another room where there gave me one sheet of questions. i had to indicate my full name, and then there was text which said, i do not support the russian authorities shoot than i said. i did not agree with this, what they then said that it means that i support the war. but i said,

for the president, i'm far from politics. i'm a driver that you'd 1000000 funds, or to leningrad, is dependent on deliveries by trucks and trains through lafayette lithuania. for most all that's good. some freight transport to the actually from midland. russia was halted almost a month ago under e u sanctions. now the truck driver, again told us, he's not the only one who's been asked about his political stance while taking goods through the luck in puerto was none of my visa has been cancelled. it is not clear what they wanted to achieve. they told me that it's not possible to apply for new visa right now, but now there are problems with it. it may not be issues at all. i had a 5 year visa and i could travel for another 3 and a half years. i've never seen or heard such a thing. a familiar driver told me that he was asked to remove the st. george ruben from his car. he removed it and just drove on,

but his visa was definitely not taken away. clashes between striking port workers and police in the german city of hamburg. and friday, left 5 protesters and 5 officers injured according to local media. the dock workers held the demonstration to demand pay increases, but the protests soon escalated into violence with police using pepper spray in boston to disperse the crowds. workers in several german ports went on strike this week. that says, a new report, 2 bills, more than 13000000 germans are now officially below the poverty belie coming, the soaring inflation. the fall from the pandemic on the conflict. and whenever, since rushes offensive began back in february, the ukraine conflicts become the major focus of many european leaders. but for some the preoccupation with punishing moscow has cost them dearly amid major crises at home,

here shortly contributor rachel marston. 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 president. dimitri medive, in his online trolling the most recent member of ukraine's u. 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 is foolish 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 at the political direction. if it is that of defending oneself or a 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 percent 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 mac home was able to bask in the admiration of his fans during the recent bastille day celebrations. ah, german 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 a 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 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 right to the exclusion of everything else, they risked colliding with it directly and completely rocking themselves. not from mindless slurs to concerted state craft next week timeline and nearest 1000. your history of russ phobia right up to today's counseling of tolstoy. untie kowalski by

some in the west. stay with us for our saturday documentary ride ahead. ah ah ah

ah ah . ah, russia is the aggression? no, if injured much about it, we have any quality for russians. we have actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian in europe. so i work with it a nation suddenly dislike. well, was the hotel it,

he always there and only now come to the for the last told was the most for so for the doors is router will be a new class. have been seen before you. there was a form, some ginia studies, you fucked to walk in that i knew was to get you started. ok. you know, people not yes. who's dial rules, things up or could go. we've got what you say a week, but it is i here because that's a big team is believe you got a don't, was a hawaiian was considered, isn't it? i mean, it was due to me, delusions, wilbur over here. all you gotta do is read them over the head and just tell them the right way to live near is going to do it as a whole do it before i let you go over just to be i just played
