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 close quarters bottles of cranium. ukrainian troops have attempted to stem the village out of the wooded areas. the rise above is 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, challenge the ground, the very a bela got 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, i always hear
12:04 pm
a few steps from the bomb shelter. it will begin wookey what they give the re, we've got the sound of these expressions that we can hear. now we've been hearing them for full months. it way. what can you buy it? aren't you afraid? we used to now it's difficult to get east to it, but we've accepted this reality city on this dorothy quickly. that way. what they have gone through has left its mark. would of them a jittery on the edge and sold weary, but make no mistake. the shelves and blasts are only part of the reason that treatment at the hands of ukrainian soldiers made it so much worse. that as you had described is, are protected and they call themselves to punishes. yet the once cause i did they say to you, go with yes, 2 eyes. now it protects us only name you said the last 2 months have been torture you. they would walk around and loot, but they would smash our pickles foods and drinks and then right on the walls with
12:05 pm
swear was good. now the russians wouldn't get them want you 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, no 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 the exhausted elsa wilkins. i am as bad as the wizard to their love. and you love it. when he calls me again, brooks was used to really it were not as the heavier work gifts it did not send them off. how do goes that you could come home with his mother in law? took a course, but shall it possible his father?
12:06 pm
did you listen to your wish with of that rupert? yes, hunger then is forced to proceed. miss bella. gov kirk 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 half to trying to fight it back up close. oh jessica, unless volumetric or from what all of our machine gunners put her there at sack 1st . 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 drives him over here was on april 1st. this is where he applied for said you can
12:07 pm
see the bandages ketter's round up of what you're welcome. this was ukraine's last attempt at storming bela got off 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 and then writing them off as missing in action. his family will still have hope and here he is abandoned. by his compatriots. we will know his school side. it was or lick before tom on. you are a bully. what they then fired back with this. have a look at this launcher model. the machine gunner got away with a concussion. i shanika looked 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 bull nationalists who could fight without eating or drinking, or sleeping for days,
12:08 pm
who most likely had the access to amphetamines and stimulants. much like here. but they didn't help around bella, god of 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 as back, they seem determined now to erase it entirely. nor does he has any 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 of our t for bella gorenca logan's people's republic. to know the story to take you through to day. saudi arabia says it doesn't have the capacity to boost its oil production beyond $13000000.00 barrels per day. according to the country's crown prince. the announcement came after
12:09 pm
a jo biden's visit this week. the u. s. president was hoping to persuade the state to off it's i put considerably to ease the pain americans are currently feeling up the pumps. well, hi petrol prices and soaring, inflation are further hurting biden's ratings back home. but following his meeting with mom had been so long, the president admitted there will be any immediate ease on fuel costs in the united states to them back to visit. i suspect you won't see that for another. a couple of america needs saudi oil. this is in light of the ukraine, russia conflict, not only do they want oil from saudi arabia, but at the same time they want to buy that oil at a cheaper price. now on his arrival, joe biden's welcome was installed, contrast to the welcome of the previous american president, donald trump, when he visited saudi back in 2017. if i hadn't got was a 1st pump from the crown prince. before being ushered into a room for meeting with the saudi king solomon at a press conference afterwards,
12:10 pm
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 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 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 well deed is 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
12:11 pm
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 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. we heard another aspect of this story from retired us or force officer occurring could tusky, she believes saudi arabia and opec no longer. i'll be influenced. they once enjoyed the saudi arabia is not the global supplier that it once was. there are many
12:12 pm
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 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 biden is 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 saying the saudi arabia can solve the oil crisis. it cannot, it does not have the capacity to do that. the u. k. military has a non states to resume a joint training program in kenya, but local her fearing for their health after commanders previously admitted. they
12:13 pm
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 or taste on quarter can for listen. 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 the can . 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, the, the people that live here on the dangers of that unexploded ordnance and to educate them 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,
12:14 pm
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. a my yo guy, most of us, especially the elderly and children know nothing about the white phosphorus. that is why the british army training unit will keep on using the substance. no one has ever volunteered to teach us about it. we are in great danger. e o e. okay, to south africa, we leave close to the training grounds. we're not say i'm really scared because no one is listening to us why phosphorus should not be used here till otherwise we're
12:15 pm
going to die. oh, then on that i was on the white phosphorus is very dangerous, but the british army will always put our lives in danger because no one will question him. 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 those 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?
12:16 pm
one thing looks pretty clear though things would be better if the british army left altogether. the us state department has approved a potential 108000000 dollar package of military support to taiwan, saying it will help the island territory repel potential threats. the proposed dale 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, the package of us weapon sales to taiwan under the, by the administration. when the deal will include the purchase of spare parts for military vehicles and provide logistical and technical support, its reportedly aimed at boosting, ty, ones and military readiness and come possibility with the u. s. army. tensions between washington and beijing helping high us china considers taiwan part
12:17 pm
of its territory and has promised to return it by force if necessary. beijing has demanded washington, avoid quote, military collusion with type pay in order to enhance america. china relations. we spoke earlier with china, for example, is victor guy who believes by sending arms to taiwan. the us is escalating tensions and the u. s. sales. obama just serves the only purpose of feeling the tape is more, i think, the u. s. strategic ambiguity, israeli misleading, the american people. it's misleading is allies to the west. it's misleading. everyone else in the world. the united states has no legal right to interfere in the taiwan affairs or to become an obstacle to the national renew vacation of china. i think what the united states is doing is getting involved in a civil war. i'll finish the 1949. we want to prevent the resurrection of civil war,
12:18 pm
but whatever the united states is doing is adding fuel to the fire and meet you may really cause the resurrection of civil war will be a disaster in the cross street relations. a while the us has promising more weapons to taiwan, a huge full of western arms and financial support continues to pour into ukraine, or no questions are increasingly being asked if that's leading to weapons smuggling in europe. you doesn't seem overly concerned though, recently raised rating. now the ukranian government is a 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,
12:19 pm
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 in aid, and now have 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 or criminals will try to benefit from the availability of weapons until we have to expect that these weapons will be traffic, that they will show up not only in the, in the neighboring region of a conflict soon, but we have experienced that this weapons might be traffic to other continents. in fact, the ears, law enforcement agency has been warning about the smuggling of arms out of ukraine since april,
12:20 pm
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
12:21 pm
ensure accountability of the assistance. well, that is the official statement from the vitamin administration. the reality on the ground is a very different one. there have already been reports of us jabal is being sold on the 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 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,
12:22 pm
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 is happening? carriage pure insanity. and i think that's why the united states is starting to wake up to the fact that you know, it, it 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,
12:23 pm
but we didn't try our best if we were trying our best we would have insisted on the accounting process or the moment we handed to weapons, or ah, well, let's talk about one of the biggest issues out there right now. lift trade restrictions to help avert a global food crisis. now, does that join called from the world trade organization, the international monetary fund on the world bank? the 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 low prices. the joint statement, details of $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
12:24 pm
a year. a combination of those factors puts more than 3 hundreds 1000000 people across the world at risk of food insecurity. and worse, economist than publisher i k, hummer or box the joint statement, believing trade restrictions have to be lifted. they have to limit the restrictions now because they see that this is a shock in the old leg as we saw as we would call it match shooting 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 politician to really stupid politics. this is, this is a property. what you see from all these people all over, if they are spending hundreds of billions for weapons and 1000000000 for food. this
12:25 pm
doesn't really make anything on the same side. they are killing while they are putting into fire or trying to put into fire food places. and this is just ridiculous. they, it is her property. it's just far for the media to make out another story to make this people the politicians look look well after weeks of economic and political turmoil, ensure lanka which dump and dying when the president fled. the country later quit the countries parliament met today to begin electing the next leader. the process assess to be completed pretty speedily on wednesday. well, sure, like is currently gripped by a severe a fuel shortage which has resulted in miles long queues up petrol station. the nation's power and energy minister safety government is not discussing potentially buying fuel from russia. we also a nice to start a petrol lushly with the latest on the developments. here's our team, runjun sharma, the bottle minister, or sri lanka. i had
12:26 pm
a press conference saturday afternoon. lucas time had announced the introduction of the national t. we fall in an attempt to ease out. loankey was outside patrol station is not a boss. will allow gender public to put cheese a guarantee to court off every single week. but how will this work? now one way go will be able to register under one id god, and then a q r code will be allocated for each way. good, at least should have done sometime back about the technology they should have used . i think a month ago because it's more or less timing issue because they need to be getting to us, i think is a good idea. but the practically, we have to see how it works. i couldn't, but i just have to know. it's still saying it's not i'm unable to and being unable to register those b. let's see her with the property. now, it doesn't one defining big chart of the economic crisis in c langon. that has been
12:27 pm
the long q, the garzon took dogs schedule. mine was outside the patrol station. now this sounds like a temporary small solution to a very, very big problem. and whether or not it will walk or not. we'll know in the weeks to come back to europe now in the program where clashes between striking port workers on police in the german city of hamburg on friday, left 5 protesters, 5 officers injured according to local media. the dock workers held a demonstration to demand pay increases, but the protest soon escalated into finance. in the spring and passing dispersed the workers in several german 4 went on strike this week. a new report reveals more than 30000000 germans are now officially below the public,
12:28 pm
the coming and soaring inflation. the fall i from the conflict. ah, you foreign policy chief usa bureau has a nice the block will not recognize russian passports issued to don bos residence the new russian legislation. now simplifying the procedure for all the ukrainians to obtain russian citizenship is yet another flagrant violation of ukrainian sovereignty. the you will not recognize these passports. more than $600000.00 residential, but done year scanned lou dance republic several ready received their russian passports and according to moscow, that number will continue to grow lumber. putting simplify the procedure of acquiring the travel document for residents of dawn bus 3 years a go, citing the di, or humanitarian situation in the conflict. so at the time i spoke to martin told her a german human rights lawyer who believes the use approaches, misguided and wrong,
12:29 pm
since it violates the principles of the european human rights convention. my mind, this is kind of strange new mechanism off dividing people in different class citizens and that is something which is a comparative of human rights with international law and with other nation and it's against as well. the pragmatic way of treating every country in any way, if someone is getting a passport by free will accept it doesn't matter if one government like the other government of the country which a lot. so if anyone wants to have a possible rochelle, germany, or, or usa the other country. sure. except that cost called, i think as well. we have some loss in the european human rights convention and international law as well,
12:30 pm
which she said people should be discriminated. and this means focused discrimination, often people off on boss who don't have any passports then any longer. well, if you're in the mood to del, further into those and then d, plenty more stories this weekend to make our web site one of your stops life from moscow. this is our t ah ah ah oh boy show you the
