[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, the hours headline stories that russian defense minister orders trips on the front line to increase their operations to prevent ukrainian forces from striking civilian areas. while school to say or strikes have almost entirely destroyed a brigade near a key. don mouth, city. saudi arabia said it was no extra capacity. the booster door production beyond 13000000 bar the u. s. president that met his meeting with the

countries prod, print, any immediate impact on high energy price u. k. military is to resume joy training. in the former british colony of kenya state they will continue using white phosphorus, munitions, local living. here the firing line shared their health fears with us about the controversial weapons is not the whole. otherwise we are going to die. no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger. the mid day in brasilia midnight in so on 6 in the evening here in moscow. welcome to the global news roundup on archie. i mean, no, no, no. 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 care forces from targeting civilians. and don bos strikes are continuing against ukrainian troops. the m o d said one brigade in particular near the key than yet republic city of severest have suffered heavy losses with her own 600 troops killed in russian ur strikes over the past. 2 days. moscow add some 200 ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries roll so killed by high precision weapons in the city of nikolai of and local authorities have confirmed 5 civilians were killed by ukrainian shelling in done yet city overnight . while earlier today, another person died following strikes in total more than $250.00 civilians have been killed in the done yet republic since february, according to o facials of shelling has become a tragic norm in cities close to the front line. our senior correspondent, murat gasdio, visited one area now under the control of russia. lead forces, hoping for

a quieter future warning. you may find some of the footage in marat's 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 tags. they have also been several clues corridors. bottles the cranium, ukrainian troops have attempted to stem the village out of the wooded areas, the 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 ease even of itself, challenge the ground, the very air bela got 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 are always here, a few steps from the bomb shelter. it will begin 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 used to 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 so 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's who i described is, are protected, and they call themselves to punishes. i am the ones cause i 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 or pickle food and drinks and then right on the was with swear words like it. now the russians wouldn't get them want your as me wild up close to . when does all this hate come from? what do you mean where from, oh, great, so then propaganda, they are brainwashed. you know, all, but the majority here can, you know, across the don bass civilians and liberated territories. tell the same story that ukrainian soldiers despised them, viewed them as pro russian, not anywhere near nationalist enough. they hated them, but rap went forth ways through fedexed, ulster, elsa walkering. i am his master was injured to the lung luggage. and because the damper was you was really rude enough, valencia her viola. yes,

it did not send them off her gums. the younger couple home willis mother is not took or special at postal initiative. did you listen to your wish? was it rupert? yes. hunger then forced to proceed with bella. gov co was the last major settlement to be liberated at the low gods people's republic. it was symbolic by the entire region lost. the key of that may explain why they have tried her race it from afar. that is half to trying to fight it back up. close both jessica on us bully. magical from what? all the movie? our machine gunners put their attack 1st. over control he only had one ammunition bells. was he fired? well, covering his retreat, i spotted 2 of them here. i hit one and his partner,

drugs him over here on april whiska. this is where he applied 1st aids. you can see the bandages kat his round up of what 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. 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, you put them on, you thought about really what they then fired back with this. have a look at this launcher with the machine gunner got away with a concussion. i should shanika put on my ceiling 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, god 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, he seemed determined now to erase it entirely, nor did his other than the blue one. 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 guess the a r t for bella gorenca la guns people's republic. now saudi arabia doesn't have the capacity to boost its oil production beyond $13000000.00 barrels per day. that is,

according to the kingdoms crime prints. the announcement came after 2 biden's visit this week. the rest present was hoping to persuade the state to op it's i put in order to ease the pain. americans are currently feeling at the pumps and it comes as high petrol prices on storing inflation or further hurting biden's ratings back home. but following his meeting with the crime prince, the president admitted there won't be any immediate knock on effect on call settle . you didn't have to 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 discussed 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 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 hours 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 r t to was to them of thing on the story retired u. s. or

a force officer car and could tell escape believes saudi arabia and opec no longer have the influence. they once enjoyed this anyway, b is not a global supplier, that it once was, 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 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 side favor in terms of the, the saudi arabia can solve it. oil crisis, it cannot,

it does not have the capacity to do that. ok, another story we want to bring attention to the u. k. military has announced it's to resume a joint training program in kenya, but the locals are fearing for their health after commanders previously admitted. they had deployed white phosphorus during drills in the former british colony and will continue doing so, claiming there are, quote, legal purposes behind use of the chemical substance. ortiz dawn quarter can fill. it is 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 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 them 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 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'm. i your game cuz 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 no one has ever valencia to teach us about it. we are in great danger. e o, e, okay,

to suffolk, won't leave close to the training grounds. we're not say, i'm really scared because no one is listening to us why fuss for should not be used here till otherwise we're going to die. and then under that i was on cook white. phosphorus is very dangerous, but the british army will always put on lives in danger because no one will question him. they think they are above the law musically 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're 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 are 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 u. s. state department has approved a potential, a 108000000 dollar package of military support to taiwan, saying it will help the island territory repel potential threats. the proposed sale will contribute to the sustainment of the recipients vehicles. small arms, combat weapons systems, and logistical support items enhancing its ability to meet current and future threats. it would be the 5th package of u. s. weapon sales to taiwan under the biden administration. on 4th, this year alone, the deal will include the purchase of spare parts for military vehicles and provide

logistical and technical support. it's reportedly aimed at boosting, tie one's military readiness on compatibility with the u. s. army or tension between washington and beijing has been bubbling as china considers taiwanda part of its territory and has promised to return by force if necessary. and vision has demanded. washington avoid military collusion with taiwan in order to enhance us china relations with cross live. now to victor, gout, vice president of the center for china and globalization thing, tech you're most welcome sir. washington has reiterated. it doesn't want to escalate tensions with china yet. here's another pack of probable military support to tie one the 4th this year. we'll be using see the move as benign as the u. s. apparently thinks it is. the us move off sending more alms to taiwan, is purely a provocation, and it does not help to stabilize the relations across the taiwan strait. it

actually provokes tensions, and may lead to really unexpected results. as far as china is concerned, there is only one. china and taiwan is part of china, and the people's republic of china is the sole digital venture representative of john. this is generally recognized in the world, amazingly, even by the united states. so the united states is having that take and eat it. and it's really promoting the tension in the cross street relations, probably beyond the point of no return. from our perspective, from a chinese perspective, we want to see peace across the taiwan straits. we do not want to see any flaring up of more patients. and the u. s. sales. obama just serves the only purpose of viewing the pages more. and i think people in the world should really see what the united states is up to. it's talking about one talk,

but it's walking about the other walk. it's completely contradictory. and i think the u. s. strategic ambiguity is really misleading the american people. it's misleading its allies to the west. it's misleading everyone else in the world. the united states is the major source of tension in the cross power st relations. it's been suggested that taiwan wouldn't be seeking so many weapon shipments if they didn't feel threatened by beijing. has china been overly aggressive towards ty pay recently? well, 1st of all, the situation in the prostrate relations is really hadn't over of the finished civil war in 1949. and ever since 1949 when the people's republic of china was found, it's a, china's mission is to achieve nice know,

re unification. and the mission for the chinese people's liberation army has always being the national unity. so there is no doubt this mega trends of national unity will be achieved it as being the mega trend for the past 7 decades also. so there is no change in the one china policy as far as trying to is concerned. the change is that the united states is aiding and abetting those people in high one try to achieve the so called a taiwan independence. this is the main reason for the rise in taishan in the cross taiwan street relations. and i think people in the world that really need to see what the united states is up to. they need to see the real cause of patients in the cross trade relations. and they will also need to see that the mega trend of our times is achieving the national reunification and taiwan will be united with the rest of china. can i just touch on another aspect, briefly, donald trump was calls aggressive, unpredictable in his dealings,

not only with china, but to global issues. but it's president biden who said one statement about defending taiwan in may then was walked back by as administration. so we don't really know, do we where joe biden really stands on the issue? well, fortunately, the president job was corrected immediately by the white house as well as the u. s . military. the u. s. position wants to achieve the so called a strategic ambiguity, rather than really clarifying what it is going to do or it's not going to do it. for example, the national reunification is really kicked into process. now, this strategic ambiguity is really meant to mislead the people in the united states as men to mislead decision makers in taiwan, as well as this leading the allies of the united states. because eventually,

i truly believe there should be no war between china. the united states, why? because both are nuclear armed and if was really gets out of control between china the united states, they will be emigrated. neither of the chinese people, all the american people want to see em. i got it happening to either one of them. and i think the american people, as well as countries in the world need to realize that china's reunification is inevitable. it's going to happen. it will happen in our lifetime. and all of us, i'm pretty sure will witness that process. and it is now the invasion by mainland is probably one. it is national reunification. so the decision makers in the united states need to be aware of that. nothing they can do can stand in the way august megatron of national reification. that though i was not a sovereign country,

it is part of china. ok. states acknowledges that they need to all know their obligation rather than provoking more tension in the cross trade relations. better guy, thank you for your time today. victor got laura and vice president of. busy a vision based thing type center for china and globalization, and evolving. now, e u foreign policy chief usa parrell as a 9th, the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bass residence the new russian legislation. now simplifying the procedure for all ukrainians to obtain russian citizenship is yet another flagrant violation of ukrainian sovereignty. the you will not recognize these passports more than 600000 residents. albert don, yes. can lou counsel republic sub already received their russian passports on, according to moscow, that number will grow vladimir putin simplify the procedure of acquiring the travel

document for residents have done by 3 years ago. so i think the dire humanitarian situation in the complex don't at the time i spoke to martin dolder at german human rights lawyer who believes the use approaches, misguided and wrong, since it violates the principles of the european human rights convention. to my mind is kind of strange and you make a little dividing people in different class citizens. and that is something which is competent with human rights, international law and with other legislation. and it's against as well. a pragmatic way of treating every country in equally if someone is getting a passport by pre will, it should be except it doesn't matter if one government like the government of the country which delays that passport. so if anyone wants to have the past 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 should be discriminated. and this means for discrimination off the people who don't have any passports. then any longer clashes between striking port workers and police in the german city of hamburg on friday, left 5 protesters and 5 officers injured according to local media. the yeah. got pretty fiery talk. workers held a demonstration to the mom pay increases, but the protest soon escalated into violence with police using purpose. when boston's to disperse the card workers in several german ports, went on strike this week. thus, as a new report deals with

a 13000000 germans are now officially below the poverty line. coming in mid soaring inflation. the fall from the pandemic. the conflict in ukraine, the lift trade restrictions now to help avert a global food crisis. last, the joint call from the world trade organization, the international monetary fund. i'm the world bank to 2008 crisis taught us that imposing global trade restrictions leads directly to increases in food prices, removing export restrictions, and adopting inspections and licensing processes that are more flexible, help minimize supply disruptions and lower prices. the statement details the $25.00 countries currently have restrictions on food exports affecting 8 percent of the global food trade. the situation has been exacerbated by the price of fertilizers which have doubled in europe. a combination of those factors puts more than 300000000 people across the world, a risk of food insecurity,

or worse. let's welcome live onto the program economist on publisher of the virtual to actual business newsletter i k hammer. hi, i k, the w t o i m f world bank. both said lifting trade restrictions would help come about the food crisis. is it a straightforward, does that? well, they have to lift the restrictions now because they see that this is a shot in the old leg as we saw, as we would call it match shooting themselves. and now they have the severe situation that prices are climbing, but they deli meet inflation down in the western economies because otherwise all. busy highly in debt, countries like europe in countries, us and so on. they are bankrupt when interests are climbing so then further and in

interest will climb further and further when inflation is climbing and foot prices are one of the key drivers of this inflation. everybody will feel the increase in food prices and that it will, it will increase the expectations of proven inflation. and this is the poison that all west concrete can't survive. and that the i m f, the world bank are now crying for lifting sanctions because they, they know that these are just stupid. for example, as you already said, they're 2 thirds of the world's. busy fertilizer is coming from white russia and from russia and russia, so by the sanctioning those 2 countries you will not have. 8 enough food next year in even in the western countries, because where do you get the fertilizer from? secondly, trivialize or to produce or live it's high energy, demanding. so you're is already facing the energy crisis due to the stupid

sanctions, and thus they have not the possibility to prove any fertilize of themselves. so this is all a mixture for a dramatic economic catastrophe that is coming in the m f and the w d. you might be those people who are trying to keep the pace for the politicians who did this really stupid politics, us officials, i can say the president biden said to $91000000000.00 in food aid to the mid east and north africa. how much of an impact will not have an easing food insecurity there? do you think if you don't have enough food? if you don't have the food next year, it is just a short term help. maybe it's helped that the african countries north african

countries won't stop this year. so not the $100000000.00 people who are expected to come over to europe will come this year. but you need to lift the sanctions. you. there's no other way around. and now the bureaucrats in the us in it. you see that economics doesn't work just by calculating. you have to face the facts and the facts are we have dependent on the, your agent, con dement. we are dependent on working together and that sanctions a poison you have the point of, i thought, is that the 1000000000 as well? i can't really just a fraction of what kind of lethal aid is going to ukraine. we've got about 30 seconds. i don't know if you want to just share your view on that. yes, this is, this is the parker see what you see from all these people all over. if they are spending hundreds of billions weapons and 1000000000 for food, this doesn't really make anything on the same side. they are killing while they are
