a bus stop or i didn't have my passport with me. they checked us with some were released, but some were not with as a result and i was on my knees in my former school. they tied my hands. i stood like that from 6 am to 8 pm off when one of them would come up and point the muzzle at my neck like this, and pull the trigger. it all off. well, to either show, this was once only jenkins caught us turn into a dump, a trash followed by the are you quite into stationed here? now, safe. still an open, thorough in mind though, that only shenker was arrested until navy was disbanded in 2015 lot of time has passed, but people still remember the spot. everything that was lon only shampoo, who ordered and oversaw uncountable, torches rapes and killings of civilians has been released from jail early by

the flow of gas or north stream one for 10 days, due to scheduled maintenance, leading some to alleged that russia could be manipulating gas flows as a political tool. germany's economy minister, robert, hey beck has said e u countries need to tighten their belts in solidarity to get through expected shortages of the commodity. the pipelines maintenance to last until thursday was agreed upon by all the sides in advance. nordstrom one floes directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea. it's crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas in ports or cheese. rachel marston has more havoc said that solidarity is more important than ever solidarity for what collective suicide. it's easy nations, their weapon ising, their own energy policy, putting their own gas supply in peril with anti russian sanctions for which we, the citizens are paying the price of the pump. here in france, we're on the cost of a mass of heat wave right now with up to 40 degree temperatures forecasted over the

next couple of weeks. france even has a statutory holiday in june every year in memory of the nearly 20000 elderly who died in care homes from a similar heat wave in the summer of 2003, but french economy minister between o lemaire hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have any clue what they're doing? let's prepare for a total cutoff of russian gas today. that is the most likely option. we have to anticipate and to put ourselves in order of battle as of now, except that we're not ready for battle here in europe. let's face it, habits proclaimed that he cut down his shower time yet again. like that's any kind of a solution for supposedly developed nation while german cities are planning to introduce warm up space is this winter amid the need to ration energy? you know, those things that you see in depression era, hollywood movies, you know, the, you is really jumped out of a plane here without a parachute, when it went gung ho sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of nord stream one is sparking

hyperventilation by you officials who fear that russia could use it as an excuse to reduce gas delivery to europe. org. stand the shut down beyond the 10 days. the italian oil and gas company, any reports that daily supplies been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria's energy company o m v also report a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger and energy, the ease top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets. and in russia turns off the top even temporarily. we seeing the u bit off more than it could chew. it's kind of like that teenager who runs away from home, gets halfway down his own street and starts panicking. over his own foolish decision journalist and political analyst, luc rivera says, it's becoming increasingly harder for you officials to justify their shank sions, against russia, to their own voters and taxpayers. all the politicians in europe. i trying to

explain the, the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and years. probably all in it, we're getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, in your 8.5 or 8.9 percent. inflation and of the worst hit will be germany. that's terrible because this is the locomotive all european economy of european industry. even if they could find out gas to replace crash and gas, this would have to be paid not in, you know, anymore. but in dollars and we don't print dollars a year, so it's going to get worse and worse. you have a voice is come out of buying this princess, but also, for example, sequel and why. yeah, in france, what has set for one, something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions that harmless,

much more than russia. so it's getting, you know, very difficult for the politicians to explain this and they are trying to prepare a sway before rationing that we probably come in the auto the ears, parliament has been demanding answers from spain over the deaths of at least 23 migrants who had been attempting to cross the border from morocco, spain's interior minister has been summoned to the european parliament civil liberties committee. after a local investigation concluded, the margins died from suffocation. not police violence of the deadly incident took place. last month, when a huge crowd tried to rush into the spanish enclave of maleah, just a bit of a warning, you may find some of the following images disturbing with ha fuel. all the debts we saw were caused by a fix, yet they were the results of over crowding and pushing by huge number of people attempting to cross the border at once. the probe also concluded that police

officers didn't use any firearms or other lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing the exact opposite, the estimated 2000 people stormed the frontier on june 24th. in an attempt to reach the spanish enclave on the african continent. now some right groups claim the death toll could be as high as $37.00. the un human rights office has adamantly asserted that the migrants were brutally attacked by the authorities. we have received reports of migrants being beaten with but tons kicked, pushed and attacked with stones by moroccan officials. when they tried to scale the barbed wire fence, which is between 6 and 10 meters high separating morocco from the lyla r t. heard from an international policy consultant from south sudan, who suspects the authorities, have committed a cover up. i think they kind of want to just keep it under the rug and maintain the status quo into i forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere, the whole world thing was happening and it brought

a tend to do an issue that could have remained small and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate is a good political strategy by them, because now they're looking at ways to investigate this and say that they're going to look into these issues and hold people accountable to ensure that they protect their reputation and look, look like their country that does can, is concerned about his people. but initially the objective was to maintain the status quo and hopefully all that this thing passed by morocco getting pressure from the european countries, which it has political, economic relationship with them. so it's in their interest to ensure that they maintain that rhetoric, that these are criminals, that people entering the country legally, and they cannot backdrop and statements made before us. it make them appear weak. most 3040 people were just murdered and gun down. i didn't show you that the lack of human life is valued in the area and it's a justification because that the actions that occurred there were wrong in people need to be held accountable, but seem as if the countries who shouldn't be investigating or protecting their own

people while she long has president, has officially resigned the mass unrest that his grip to the south asian country shows no sign of abating earlier protesters angered at worsening economic and social conditions breached the prime minister's office. he was appointed as acting president on friday, but people are demanding that he step down as well. o, please use water cannons and tear gas against the demonstrators, but were unable to prevent them from taking over the premier's office. dozens of people were reported injured in clashes between the protesters and the authorities . are cheese june, june sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week ago. but i hope or doesn't do that very much in falls behind me because of the secretariat. now there has been an official confirmation, but the president has left the country and he's probably even more of these things

because she lanka will need a new government. why is that? because somebody would have to negotiate with the i am in the international and wanted to be fun to get a good be allowed to beckett's then she'd uncle will also need a good finance minutes. now important to underline deal that much of the focus also will be on the new government and how they tackle the massive challenges that made this particular government out. the new government was also inherited with no, i know what challenges we had a state of emergency to president to go to buy our auto shot in the country. now the administration is doing everything again, this boston crowd said, what do y'all, gas jail have been? you was on the protest,

so remain adamant monster with . 0 sharma in call on board. the president has reportedly fled to the mall deena on the military jet. meanwhile, the new acting president has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. it includes the top officials from the mill, mary anne, the police, a local journalist, surveyed the resigned leaders abandoned residence. let's take a look here in front of the president's house in columbus for lanka. as you can see behind me tense and thousands of people are still eagerly awaiting to walk into the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of a bill. and that was captured by the, a brit as there's on the 9th of july. and this particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that carried out the huge mass valley. the protest that was unveiled on the 9th of july, but still received the presence of the security personnel as well providing the

necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president boat. i bet our departure, who volved to step down from his position as the president. there was a meeting among the members of the representative bodies that organized the early on the 9th of july and the particular party leaders at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so the protest, the organizers have refused to take part in the particular meeting, saying that david have their own national plan for the future road map yet in sri lanka. so this is to push on was reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sri lanka. a severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of the national debt is owed to western powers. over the past half a century, the international monetary fund has given the nation 16 loans with sri lanka, going through a series of so called economic stabilization programs. now despite the huge repayment issues or sri lanka,

as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum that the country would become wealthy within a decade. it's no secret at asia as the economic engine of the future. and in our endeavors to make sri lanka, a rich country by 2025, we aim to include asia even more and leverage strategic access to emerging markets ranging from india, pakistan, china, japan, and south korea to association of southeast asian nations. independent journalist at benjamin norton says, i'm have policies for sri lanka have benefited foreign powers, not the people of the country. the u. s. government has a complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank . the u. s. government is the only member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular, the m. f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs. that force countries to cut social spending, privatize their natural resources,

and then sell off their assets to western corporations. usually the i m. s. demand that a country, cut, pensions, reduce the minimum wage. basically implement policies that are bad for the people of the country and are good for the interest of foreign corporations. and it's very likely we don't know, of course, what's happening inside the talk between the sri lankan government in the m f. but it's very likely that the i m f was demanding these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i. m. s. conditionality is that have been imposed on countries like sri lanka. they have been very arduous and they have been very undemocratic demanding that the country violate its own economic sovereignty in the interest of foreign corporation. so if we can learn anything from history, i think we can conclude that it's very likely that the sri lankan government was

unwilling to give into these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. too long because economy has collapsed under the massive weight of foreign debts, culminating in a default earlier this year. now several other countries face historic economic challenges and the possibility they won't be able to make payments on their sovereign bonds. nazis. rachel blevins comments. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, lead tree longest president to flee the country. some are now warning that other developing nations could soon find themselves in the same position. in fact, the international monetary fund is warning that 19 developing nations are either at high risk or currently experiencing debt distress. their warning that those countries which oh more than $230000000000.00 to foreign bondholders, maybe the next in line to default on their debt. the biggest concerns right now include all, salvador pakistan gonna argentina and ukraine. so it comes as no surprise that

those countries are getting special attention from the i am that the organization which has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. and i'll talk show long go last month ended without a deal. the i m s, the managing director says it is looking forward to working with a new government in the near future. we have been reaching out to the biggest creditors to sri lanka to ascertain their commitment to engage so we can have that resolution. it would be better for the creditors to step forward, because then they have a better chance for the country to recover and for them to recoup more of their money. meanwhile, pakistan has been scrambling to make a deal with the i am that securing an agreement for an additional $1200000000.00 this week, but well, that may provide some temporary relief. the nation has more than $40000000000.00 in debt payments coming up in just the next 12 months. pakistan is at a challenging economic juncture, a difficult external environment combined with pro cyclical domestic policies,

fuel domestic demand, her unsustainable levels. the resultant economic overheating lead to large fiscal and external deficits. in the fiscal year, 2022 contributed to rising inflation and eroded reserve buffers. let not to worry the i a map is assuring the world it has everything to him, care of even as it continues to offer a. 2 loans with no strategy for the developing nations they are working with to ever get out of that debt. we have to rethink how to act more in the direction of supporting countries early preemptively building resilience to these shocks. and that goes beyond the traditional focus of financial sector fiscal policy. as for the question of whether the ins would be willing to forgive all of that, when it becomes clear that countries are being crushed under the financial load. well, that has yet to happen. some i've tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the u. s. in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble,

all in the name of unwavering support. while so this week, hundreds of people in the democratic republic of congo took to the streets to denounce the resurgence of the notorious rebel group. i'm 23, which has been fighting against the military and the countries mineral rich east near the border with romano forcing more than 170000 residents to flee their homes . protesters were seen waving banners with images of russian president vladimir putin pleading for security forces to be sent in. one demonstrator carried a wooden cross suggesting the death of rwanda. president connelly's officials accused neighboring rwanda of supporting the rebels. the m $23.00 group is named after a significant cease fire deal quenched more than a decade ago on march 23rd, under the terms of the agreement. the unit was incorporated into the congo military . but that arrangement unraveled with the rebels accusing the government of not

respecting the peace. congo has condemned m. 23. as a terrorist group, we heard from a member of a major political party in the country who says, international community needs to react. the right enough for conflict deserves attention from the international community because it's about common security and economic issues. we are astonished where the western world is indifferent to our crisis, but if you check history very well, we have been their colonies. today we can see what they are doing to us completely executing their plan to destroy our territory. our people are still resisting this, but our leaders are being used as their puppets for their own interests. india, a leaving golden porter is concerned about rising prices for the coveted commodity that's as western powers have moved to band supplies from major producer russia, sparking fears that global costs could climb even further. and india is the world's 2nd largest gold consumer behind china with the commodity used in

a multitude of local traditions. prices for gold have risen more than 60 percent. and recent years, european commission on friday outlined its new sanctions package to ban russian gold. just a few weeks after a decision to that effect by the western g 7 countries that is expected to push up prices for the commodity on a global scale, even affecting countries that do not directly abide by the restrictions. deli based economists are cash. jindal hopes that russia will be able to increase supply directly to india to keep the prices at reasonably level. bold is an international commodity. so the impact would be initially international. then of course, every country would be impacted. we indians are big consumers, of course. so india would also getting back to it. what would happen is with the sanctions, since she has a big exporter, there would be reduction in export. so on one hand, there would be some deficiency of food. one other hand is expected to we.

people would be more than trusted in buying gold and other than going in for a risk. yes. it's like you can be sanctions, not only back the country which is supplier. but because you was also, if dead buying something from a company, they are not, we're, we fewer to guarantee the also want that that's why they're being that vice. so if they're not able to get that, that means it's going to be negative for them also. that those are for me. i will be back in just under 32 minutes with another full fresh look german newspaper, the search international. ah

ah ah ah oh

mm hm. mm. mm. welcome to wells fargo. some 30 years ago. just as the soviet union. it was about to collapse at francis fukuyama pronounce the end of history, giving a science expression to a pretty simple american craving for eternal dominance. the loss of this theory became apparent pretty quickly important because what matters in the final analysis is not only work history as but also where it begins in trying to understand the war in the ukraine and what it means for the rest of the world. how far down memory lane should we go to that i'm now joined, why we ask your researcher for the south african chapter of the southern and east african trade institute? it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having
