russian gas supplies via ignored stream one. berlin requested the move, which was met with outrage and key f with ukraine's president slamming it as absolutely inappropriate. that's made fresh worries in the e. u. this week after russia halted the flow of gas through nord stream, one for 10 days due to scheduled maintenance. it's lead some to alleged that moscow could be manipulating death flows as a political tool. germany's economy minister says e u countries need to tighten their belts and solidarity to get through expected shortages. the pipelines maintenance is set to last until thursday and was actually agreed upon in advance by all of the sides. north stream, one flows directly from russia to germany under the baltic sea, and it's crucial for berlin as it accounts for around half of germany's gas imports . archie contributor rachel marston has more of the story. have said that solidarity is more important than ever solidarity for what collective suicide it's easy nations, their weapon ising, their own energy policy,
2:11 pm
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 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 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 spaces this winter amid the need to ration energy. you know,
2:12 pm
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 for russia. the proof, the fact that this plan maintenance shut down of north street one is sparking hyper ventilation by you officials who fear that russia could use it as an excuse to reduce gas delivery to europe or extend 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 is energy company o m v also reported a reduction by nord stream, one operator gas prom of 70 percent. when you sanction roger an energy that use top economies went along with it, but now was panic sets in, 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 anti russian sanctions to their own voters. and taxpayers, all the politicians in europe, i trying to explain the very, very difficult things that we gonna go through in, in the coming months and years. probably all we getting into recession, we have a 10 percent inflation in, on average, you're a point 5 or 8.9 percent inflation and i'll do 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. and so it's kind of getting worse and worse. you have a voice is coming by this princess, but also for example, sequel and why. yeah. in from who has sent for one,
2:14 pm
something crucial that be the conflict in ukraine was not our conflict. and, and she could not understand why we impose sanctions dot harmless, much more than russia. so it's getting, you know, very difficult for politicians to explain this. and they are trying to prepare a sway before rationing. that will probably come in the also the use parliament wants answers from spain over the death of at least $23.00 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 state backed investigation, and morocco concluded that migrants died from suffocation and not police violence. the incident took place last month when a huge crowd tried to storm the spanish enclave city of melia. in north africa. just a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. all the depths we
2:15 pm
saw were caused by a 6 year. 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 moroccan investigation, police officers did not use any lethal weapons. despite footage filmed at the border, showing exactly the opposite. and as an estimated 2000 people stormed the frontier on june 24th and in the attempt to reach the autonomous spanish city. some rights groups say that the death toll could be as high as 37 people. the united nations human rights office has adequately asserted that the migrants were in fact, brutally attacked by moroccan security forces. we have received reports of migrants, been beaten with battens kicked, pushed and attacked the stones by maroka and officials. when they tried to scale the barbed wire fence, which is between 6 and 10, made his high separates in morocco from millions or t heard from an international policy consultant from south sudan who was suspect. the moroccan authorities have committed
2:16 pm
a cover up i think they kinda wanna just keep it under the rug and maintain the status call and told me 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 more and could have gone unheard of for a while now. and so now they're under pressure to investigate, it's 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 statistic 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 statement that they need before us. it make them appear weak. almost 3040 people are just murdered and done down at the shows that
2:17 pm
the lack of human life is valued in the area. and if the 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 of protecting their own people. whilst long as 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 interim president on friday, but people are demanding that he stepped down as well. oh, the police used 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 clash its ortiz, runjun sharma has been following the mass rallies throughout the week.
2:18 pm
a goal, but i will protest still do that very much. again, paul is behind me. the secretary did. now they have been officially gone for me from 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 and wanted to be fun to get a good be now to beckett's, then she'd uncle would also need a good sign. and 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 in hated, massive humanitarian and knowing what challenges we had a state of emergency about the country. now the administration is doing it
2:19 pm
every thing again, this boston crowd said, what do you all gas jail have been? you remain adamant with your mom in columbus so long as former leader has reportedly fled to them all died on a military jet. meanwhile, the new interim president has announced the creation of a special committee to restore law and order in the country. the group includes top officials from the military and the police, the police, and earlier, a local journalists took a closer look at the former leaders abandoned residents. i'm here in front of the president's house in columbus through 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 apprentices on the 9th of july. and this
2:20 pm
particular human line is currently managed by the members of the organizations that carried out the huge mass rally the produce that was unveiled on the 9th of july. but still we see the presence of the security personnel as well providing the necessary security. and this was the official residents of the president boat arbiter deflector, who want 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 they will have their own action plan for the future road map. yet in sri lanka. so this is boucher loss reported to you in front of the presidential palace in colombo, sher lanka. severe economic crisis has plunged the country into chaos as much of
2:21 pm
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, the countries prime minister said at the 2018 world economic forum, that's re lanka, would become wealthy within 7 years. 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 sri lanka have benefited foreign powers. instead of the countries people. the u. s. government has complete domination over both the international monetary fund and the world bank. the u. s. government is the only
2:22 pm
member that has veto power over the decisions of the bodies. and we've seen that throughout the global south in particular, the i m f in the world bank have been involved in imposing structural adjustment programs that force countries to cut social spending. privatizing these conditions that were simply unacceptable for any self respecting sovereign government of sri lanka. we look at the history of the i m f. 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 interests 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 given to these unreasonable demands for the 17th time. now, as we mentioned earlier, so 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
2:23 pm
challenges and the possibility of failing to pay back their own sovereign bonds. ortiz, rachel blevins reports. days after massive protests sparked by dire economic conditions, led 3 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 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 math, the organization, which has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing
2:24 pm
nations. and i'll talk so she 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,
2:25 pm
2022 contributed to rising inflation and eroded reserve buffers. but not to worry. the i, a map is assuring the world that 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 i m f 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 u. s. in europe have only continued to add to that debt bubble, all in the name of unwavering support was your top world news stories from the past
