being targeted as an enemy, i mean, the ridiculous notion that massage systems in rewarding out there to protect you from iran. iranian massage strikes. i mean, this is the level of deception with ah, the russian defense minister orders troops on the front line to increase their operations to prevent ukrainian forces from striking civilian areas. law school also say 0 strikes have almost entirely destroyed that brigade near a key about city. president biden's hopes of easing the pain americans are feeling the pumps are dashed after he admits his meeting with the saudi crown. prince won't yield any immediate result. the u. k. military is to resume

joint training in the former british colony of kenya, state they will continue using white phosphorus, munitions, and drills. local shared their health fears with us about the comp, your personal with now you see i told otherwise we have going to die and no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger with wherever you're catching the program from today. welcome to moscow on the global news roundup. on our tea, i'm getting a little the russian defense minister has ordered troops to step off operations in all areas of the ukraine conflicts own stating it's needed to prevent key f forces from targeting civilians in don bos strikes are continuing against ukrainian troops . the m. o d said one brigade in particular near the key and yet city of south verse has suffered heavy losses with around 600 troops killed in russian ur strikes

over the past 2 days. moscow add some 202 korean soldiers and foreign mercenaries are also killed by high precision weapons in the city of nikolai and local authorities have confirmed 5 civilians were killed by ukrainian shelly in done. yes . the city overnight. earlier today, another person died following strikes in total more than $250.00 civilian, something killed in the done yet. republic since february, according to officials was shelling has become a tragic norm in cities close to the front lines. our senior correspondent morocco the visited one area now under the control of russian lead forces hoping for a quieter future or warning. you may find some of the footage from the routes report disturbing. 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 and bell, a god of cur. 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 a 15 year old boy are always here a few steps from the bomb shelter. it will take years wookey, what they give,

the really got the sound of these expressions that we can hear. now we've been hearing them for full months. it way when you buy it, aren't you afraid? we'll use it now. it's difficult to get easy to read, but with accepts at this reality city honestly, the swiftly that we, 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. but as you had described, as i protested, they call themselves to punishes i yet once gather did they say to you? go with yes 2 eyes. now it protects us only name the last siemens have been torture you. they would walk around and loot. but they would smash our pickles foods and drinks and then ride on the walls with swear words went good. now the russians

wouldn't get them want your i 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, you know, old, but the majority of cognition across the don bass civilians 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 that went through both ways through fedex was the elsa walkering. i ng is minus the wizard to their love. and you love it. when he goes mid yang booked was you was 3 little it. it would earn us as the year to year her viola. yes, it did not send them off. how do goes the younger couple home willis? mother is not all cook or specialist postal initiative. give you a she to you here with rupert. yes.

when collins 1st 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 of that may explain why they have try to erase it from afar. that is half to trying to fight it back up close. oh jessica. unless volumetric a for about all the movie was our machine gunners put her there at sack 1st crunch or he only had one ammunition bells. was he fired? well covered his retreat. i spotted 2 of them here. i hit one and his partner drags him over here on april 1st. this is where he applied for said you can see the bandages scattered around martha when you're welcome. this was ukraine's last attempt at storming bela got of her with infantry. the ukrainian 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 compatriot. we will know his school side. it was orrick. if i'm 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 with on my feeling is that there were on something there were walking out in the open as if they were high on drugs. we've heard the same story before, and mario bu, 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. nor was his idea that 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. jo biden's much height meeting with the saudi crown. prince may have kicked off with a friendly fist bond, but the u. s. president doesn't appear to have achieved his main goal. he was seeking to persuade the country to increase it's oil. i put in order to ease the pain, americans are feeling at the pumps. saudi arabia is in no rush though to open its

tops for the united states. indeed, oil price is actually rose by 2 percent on friday. that's as high petrol prices on storing inflation or further hurting biden's ratings. michael, after the meeting with mom, had been so 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 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 been 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 in room. 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. 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 was in israel. and in the palestinian areas for 3 days that he found only 3 hours 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 and saudi arabia as well. policy a r t to loosen him under thing with his story, retired u. s. or a force. busy officer current could tusky believes that saudi arabia and opec no longer hold the influence they once enjoyed. so anyway, b is 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 opec and they don't anymore. i mean, opec doesn't, doesn't have the sway 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 sides favor in terms of, i think the saudi arabia can solve the oil crisis. it cannot, it does not have the capacity to do that. or i don't know the story to bring attention to today. us lawmakers have approved an amendment to exempt india from

the sanctions for purchasing russian weapons. the caps outlaw, which stands for a country. america's adversaries through sanctions act is meant to punish cooperation with countries such as iran, north korea, and russia. lawmakers declared the waiver will allow the strengthening of the u. s . on india's defense partnership at texas to go to the senate for confirmation. back in 2018. you deli, signed a deal worth billions of dollars with moscow to buy 5 units of russia's, s $400.00 or defense missiles system and was threatened with sanctions by then president trump. now if the waiver gets to president biden's desk for a signature, it will allow india to skirt punitive american measures. another aspect to this, the u. s. and india have recently been in disagreement over the ukraine conflict. washington is demanding delhi openly condemned moscow. but the sized asian nation has been tending and neutral sounds, giving its long standing relationship with russia and desire to continue purchasing

russian arms on energy. here's our t contribute our r t to crew with some more insight into the u. s. d gotcha act which is essentially countering american was at work threes through factions act and in this fundamentally and deals 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 ongoing war 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. all right, let's turn attention from asia to africa where the u. k. military has a non fits to resume a joint training program in kenya, but local or nervous after commanders previously admitted. they had deployed white phosphorus drink drills in the former british colony and will continue doing so, claiming there are called legal purposes behind use of the chemical substance. ortiz stone quarter can phyllis almon, great britain's once again,

conducting military exercises in its former colony of kenya. the 2 countries just signed an agreement for closer military co operation. and british troops are cleaning up after the latest drills to make sure the locals don't get hurt. the can you defense force in the u. k. army come together to conduct a range sweep of the unexploded ordnance on the kenyan training areas that we use here. and to educate the people that live here on the dangers of that unexploded ordnance and to educate and so that they don't pick it up that and 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 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 roles 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'm. 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 i thought i don't really close to the training grounds. we're not saying i'm really scared because no one is listening to us why trust for should not be used. he, i told otherwise we're going to die. no one can under that. i was on with the white house 1st is very dangerous, but the british army, when always put on lives in danger, because no one will question him on what they think they are above the law. miss ugly. since 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 will talking of weapons while a huge flow of western arms on financial support continued support into ukraine. voices are increasingly questioning,

if doubts leading to weapons smuggling in europe. the e doesn't seem overly concerned though having recently reiterated that ukrainian government, se reliable ally you has no reason not to trust a government as weapons supplies provided by e. u. member states are used in ukraine for intended purposes. defend its people against a brutal russian aggressor. smuggling claims are often simply lies. so if that's the case, then why did the block just announce plans for a new support hub for internal security and border management, which is expected to focus on preventing weapons, most of which are supplied by nato members from being smuggled out of ukraine. this cons after nato members were so quick to send billions of dollars an aide, and now had started to admit that they can't fully trace where it's all gone. and they're concerned about those weapons making a return to europe in the wrong hands. it's hard to avoid trafficking or smuggling,

we didn't achieve it in former yugoslavia and probably won't avoid it in ukraine. as soon as the weapons us island m commerce will try to benefit from the availability of weapons. so we have to expect that these weapons will be traffic, that they will show up not only in the, in the neighboring regional conflicts own, but we have experienced that this weapons might be traffic to other continents. in fact, the is, law enforcement agency has been warning about the smuggling of arms out of ukraine since april, noting that while there were requirements for oversight in the past since the last to started its flow of legal aid earlier this year, those provisions have reportedly stopped being enforced initially, ukrainian officers maintained registers of firearms handed out to civilians. however, this was abandoned because the war continued on and so firearms were distributed without data. however, key as yet to voice the same concerns. instead,

ukraine's foreign ministry is criticizing calls from us lawmakers to establish proper oversight, claiming that it would limit the flow of weapons and helping russia in the process . however, while the e u is now planning to create an agency that will at least look into the issue, the u. s. is not quite there yet. the united states takes our responsibility seriously to protect american origin defense technologies and prevent their diversion or elicit proliferation. so we are actively engaging with ukraine to ensure accountability of the assistance. well, that is the official statement from the biden and ministration. the reality on the ground is a very different one. there have already been reports of us jabal is being sold on a dark web for a big discount with the sellers, openly admitting the weapons will be smuggled over the polish border. and barrels of oil is also notable, that not all of the politicians in the u. s. congress are living in the same

blissful state senators rand paul and chuck grassley, have called to the office of inspector general to be allowed to conduct investigations into where the a, the u. s. and ukraine actually ends up and it was called came before the government watchdog admitted this week, that the pentagon was refusing to be transparent on ukraine. related funding as the department of defense is building processes in procedures to ensure the transparency of the reporting for the ukraine supplemental funds. we identified multiple areas of concern that if not adequately addressed, could reduce the traceability of ukraine supplemental funds and the transparency in the department of defense reporting. the question now, because while we're here at the newest agency, fine, and will they be able to stop the smuggling, or will they discover that those weapons they were so quick to send could end up being a major national security threat to their own countries. you know, this is insanity. what has happened?

church pure insanity. and i think that's why the united states is starting to wake up to the fact that, you know, it is a video if these weapons are used in a manner which results in the deaths of the, you know, political allies or citizens of allied nations in europe. there's going to be the united states is going to be called to account and i think they're trying to put in place a system at least gives them the, the ability to say, hey, we tried our best, but we didn't try our best if we were trying our best we would have insisted on the accounting processor. the moment we handed the weapons over e, u foreign policy chief usurper al, has announced the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don't pass resonant. 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. ok, just some background on this more than 600000 residents of a done yes. can luc danced republics have already received their russian passports, and according to moscow, that number will continue to grow. vladimir putin simplified the procedure all of acquiring the travel document for residents of don bus 3 years ago. citing the dire humanitarian situation and the conflicts own up the time. i spoke to martin dozer, a german human rights lawyer who believes the use approach is misguided and inappropriate sense that violates the principles of the european human rights convention. to my mind isn't 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 as a pragmatic way of treating every country in equally if someone is getting a passport by free 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 a pass was russia, germany off the u. s. a, the other country? sure. except that passport i think 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 discrimination of the people who don't have any passports. then the longer clash is between striking port workers and police and the german city of hamburg. friday left 5 protesters and 5 officers injured according to local media.

the yeah, things got rod a dock workers held a demonstration to demand pay increases, but the protest soon escalated as you can see into violence when police using pepper spray in boston to disperse the crowd. workers in several german which went on strike this week. and that's, as a new report reveals, more than 30000000 germans are now officially below the poverty line coming mid soaring inflation. the fall from the pandemic and the conflict in whatever sin stretches offensive began back in february. they conflicts become the major focus of many european leaders, but for some preoccupation with punishing moscow how's seemingly led to them losing focus over major crises at home here start 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 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,

drugs 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 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. you 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 my home 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 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 to the exclusion of everything else, they risked colliding with it directly and completely rocking themselves from mindless slurs to state strategies. next we timeline and near 1000 dear history of risk of phobia, right up to today's counseling of culture like come such as tolstoy and try coff skin stay with us for our documentary, it's right ahead the.
