nord stream, one pipeline, that's as russia's main gas, ex porter has hinted. there's still no official documents from siemens to return a gas turbine. after repair work in canada, really or canada confirmed it would ensure the transfer of the hardware to germany to provide europe with russian gas supplies. the a north stream, one, berlin requested the move, which was met with outrage and kiev, with ukraine's president slamming it as absolutely inappropriate. that's a mid fresh worries in the european union. this week after russia halted the flow of gas through nordstrom one for 10 days, due to scheduled maintenance, it's lead some to alleged that russia could be manipulating gas flows as a political tool. germany's economy minister says that e u countries need to tighten their belts and solidarity to get through. expected shortages pipelines. maintenance is set to last until thursday and was agreed upon in advance by all sides, nor strict nordstrom one floes directly from russia to germany. under the blood of the baltic sea,

and it's crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas imports . archie contributor rachel marston as the story. 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 were on the cost of a massive 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 old and they're hardly inspires confidence that our leaders have a 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 went away, 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 hypo ventilation 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 its daily supplies been cut by a 3rd of the usual volume. austria's energy company o m v also reported a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when did you say sion? roger, an energy that used 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 on political analyst, lucrative a says it's becoming increasingly difficult for each officials to justify and to russian sanctions to their own voters. and taxpayers, all the politicians in europe, i trying to explain the very, very difficult things that we can go through in, in the coming months and years probably. oh, we getting into recession. we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, you're $8.00 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 kind of getting worse and worse. you have a voice is coming to buying this princess. but also, for example, sequel in a while in france was set for one, something crucial that the, the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and that she could not understand why we impose sanctions, not 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 us really for rationing that we probably come in the auto the you 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 migrants died from suffocation. not police violence. the deadly incident took place. last month when a huge crowd tried to storm the spanish enclave city of mila. in north africa, just a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. oh, all the debts we saw were caused by as fix yet they were the results of over crowding and pushing by a huge number of people attempting to cross the border at once. according to the moroccans investigation, police officers did not use any lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing the opposite, an estimated 2000 people stormed the frontier on june 24th in an attempt to reach the autonomous spanish city. some rights group say that the death toll could be as high as 37 people. the un human rights office has adamantly asserted that the migrants were in fact, brutally attacked by moroccan and spanish authorities. we haven't received reports of migrants, been beaten with battens, caked, pushed and attacked the stones by moroccan officials when they tried to scale that

bumped wire fence, which is between 6 and 10 meters high separating morocco from many yet are to heard from an international policy consultant from self sudan, who suspects that the authorities have committed a cover up i think they kind of want to just keep this under the rug and maintain the status quo and totally forgot about it. but now the social media, the picture started showing up everywhere the whole world, seeing what's 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 these 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 the 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. almost 3040 people were just murdered and gun doubt. i didn't show you that a 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 are protecting their own people while through long because president has officially resign 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, was appointed as interim president on friday, but people are demanding that he step down as well. the 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 the clashes in ortiz room. john sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week ago, but i hope for just do that very much info. as behind me and saw secretariat. now there have been an official confirmation to the president has left the country and he's currently in 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 monetary fund to get a good be allowed to beckett's then she'd uncle would also need a good finance minister. now important to underline deal or 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 will also inherited

massive humanitarian and no, i know what about challenges. we had a state of emergency after president gotten my own job shop in the country. now the administration is doing it every thing again, this boston crowd said, what do y'all, gas shell have been used on the cell, remain adamant with her mom in columbus. she long cuz former leader has reportedly fled to the maldives on a military jet. meanwhile, the new interim leader has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. it includes top officials from the military and the police. earlier local journalists surveyed the resigned leaders, abandoned recipe. i'm here in front of the residents housing, colombo school, thanked us, as you can see behind me tense and thousands of people,

la, still eagerly awaiting to walking to the sir presidential palace and to see what is the inside and what sort of a bill and that was captured by the apprentices 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 barbara boxer 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 part li does at the apartment complex, which was organized by the speaker. so of the protest. the organizers have refused to take part in that particular meeting, saying that david have their own action plan for the future road map yet in sri

lanka. so this is the bush on loss reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sher lanka. the 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. despite the huge repayment issues. relock, as prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum, 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 benjamin norton says, i am f policies for 3 long have benefited foreign powers,

not the people of that 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 had 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. as we mentioned, through long as economy 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 of failing to pay back on their own sovereign bonds . ortiz, rachel blevins reports. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, lead tree wankers present 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 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 with long the 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 rise in inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry . the i, a map is assuring the world that has everything taken care of even as it continues to offer. 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 i and that 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 have tried to make the case for ukrainian debt jubilee for years now. but the western organization and as partners in the us and europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support. thanks for watching the weekly on our international will be back in just about half an hour, so stay tuned. ah, ah, nice to come to the russian state will never be tied as on the northland scheme. davis with within the

$55.00 with we will ban in the european union the kremlin. yup. machine. the state aunt rush up to date and split our tea. sputnik, even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with me. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offensive, bearing dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how

that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with . mm ton welcome was a part of some 30 years ago just so human in it was about to collapse. francis fukuyama pronounce the end of history, giving a science expression to a pretty simple american craving for eternal dominance. this loss of the theory became apparent pretty quickly in part because what madison, the final analysis is not only where she is,

but also where to begin. in trying to understand where in the ukraine and what it means for the rest of the world, how far down memory lane should we go to discuss them now joined? why we are research for the south african chapter of the southern and east africa and trade in which you have agreed to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me re, as we'll do just fine. it's great pleasure talking to you and i think from reading some of your recent articles, we share similar to space for neo con politics. you know, the intention of launching wars and the name of all the good against all the bad and sometimes or most of the times leaving scorching lines in the aftermath. but for some reason, this scenario is supposed to be happening over and over again. i cover the words in libya or in theory just

a couple of years ago. and nowadays everybody forgot about it. it seems that the only one that exists in the media space right now is the we're in the brain. and while it's a pretty horrible outcome for russia, 1st and foremost, i wonder why do you think this cycle of, you know, each new wor, replacing the memory of the previous one. why do you think the cycle goes on? i think we have a global hedge amman, which is the united states. and the united states has been taken over by a cabal of new conservative thinkers and practitioners like victoria newly and the k guns and so on. so go v dial, the famous writer called the united states, the united states of amnesia because you know, everything in the media is sound bites and it's more psychology than fact. so we have the domination of the information space by the us with twitter. putting people like scott ritter off.
