sri lanka is gripped by mass out rage over shortages of food and fuel. the south asian country seeks rushes help to provide much needed energy supplies. we hear from locals struggling to cope with the crisis. we're only able to give our children now quantity date. we can't even get the basics maps and phone children with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our t international launch on thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with updates on the war in ukraine as incoming artillery fire is reported in russia's course region near the ukrainian border. a massive blaze reportedly from the shelling has been captured in video posted on social media. the border area has been experiencing incoming fire for weeks. the regions governor has said that the russian military has been advancing nearby and ukraine's neighboring to me region.

the just footage was released by the mayor of the city of got all of the done yet to republic, showing what local officials have described as artillery showing by gives forces on a residential neighborhood. several houses and a cafe were reported damaged. there was no immediate information about casualties. meanwhile, russian backed forces have continued to make advances in the done yet republic moving towards key strong holds of ukrainian troops located in the front line cities of civil and until mosque. our correspondent reports from the ground was set up. what we allied forces continue to advance in the direction of savers, solid, our, our kill mosque. there ukrainian troops had significantly strengthened their positions . now the fighting is heading in this direction. the allied forces managed to break the defensive lines of the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries. there they will be able to move deep into ukrainian health territory and continued the military operation to protect don bass. the place where we arrived as being shelled

from 3 sides. roselle herself that her we continue our offensive in the direction of solid, r petrosky and beyond. the enemy resists using all possible means from artillery to large caliber weapons. you can now hear how the suppression of enemy artillery points has been carried out from the lou ganske people's militia, which is moving in this direction. has confirmed the seizure of ne to weapons as trophies, villages and towns abandoned by the cranial troops to tony credit posted to linear . but who knows what this is their last a 3rd line of defense. so it is always the most fortified. therefore, they use all types of weapons here. russian intelligence reports that extremists and mercenaries are concentrated in residential buildings. this fact, as well as the objective to save the lives of civilians is hindering the progress of the allied troops to some extent. sargon had i. r t done yet, people's republic. and then the logan's republic, local authority,

se ukrainian troops have been targeting the city of sta hunh off using to us supplied high mars rocket systems. no casualties have been reported so far. elsewhere in the la guns republic, heavy fighting for the city of lucy, chance russian forces have been tasked with restoring order to the city ortiz. moran goddamn, has visited the area and observed the russian patrols there. yeah. through the well, you know, yeah, very busy with control the with anal pulling for back up as a hostile potential hostile in an apartment building and he just took a shot. the police patrol. the problem is that many ukrainian soldiers who deserted or yeah were left behind were who were left behind, have now changed into civilian clothes and a hiding in the apartments that they have broken into. so can i feel about when you,

who do i get a hold of done with weaver, now been us to leave all rather escorted away from the area. the display of special operation on the way reinforcements of a rod. they're going to sweep the building a high, high rise 9th floor apartment building floor by floor apartment by apartment to move to catch this person who fulfilled a 3rd day that has been taking pot shots. 5 with rolling to every day, more ukrainian desert is and stragglers found sub coming peacefully, others play, hide and seek. why did you tell them? where should we go to next to europe? good for michelle. why didn't you try to leave the army earlier? if it was a missile,

if we left it would be shot by our own. the forces. what every captured ukrainian soldier has confirmed. is that morale amongst their forces was disastrous. the crating of whom was felt abandon. yeah. but it felt like cabin fargo fitness and he didn't like it. when you look, the morale in my units was very low as we were constantly retreating and didn't have enough ammunition. the commander stayed far from the front and came out only to perch. i saw that personally, well, i was in the city and at least that was captured by soldiers of the at metalli. it was once exclusively made up of chechnya and now it accepts any who want to join regardless of ethnicity. their job here is law enforcement with all that it entails . what with along with those extra food alone?

it was new. i come up with review over your with every day the cities commandant tells us chaos and lawlessness. rashid order strengthens but there is a long way to go, yet it is one thing to when the violence and the crime and the looting and entirely another, convince the public that they will to come back before i'd gazda of tea. for me, she chance god's people's republic. while he was government persists with its demands for increasingly more supplies of western made weaponry. and major u. s. defense manufacturer has sounded the alarm that the available stockpiles were not meant to provide for a lengthy war. the ceo of northrop grumman says, the government needs to be clear about exactly how much weaponry it needs. the most important thing now is to get a clear demand signal on what the sustained commitment is. and the level of draw

down from those stockpiles is going to be i wouldn't necessarily say that i've heard we're running out. but if you do project forward that we're going to want to sustain these levels of commitments for another couple of years. that's certainly not what anyone has built stockpiles to accommodate the company. makes them bushmaster artillery, guns and ammunition that america has supplied to gives forces. but the american defense industry has been struggling to source critical components due to constraints in the global supply, champs, u. s. government has committed to provide far more weaponry for the ukranian war effort than any other countries. u. s. has already provided more than $7000000000.00 of military to use. meanwhile, polling defense minister has announced the purchase of more than 100 used tanks from the u. s, as poland reinforces its own military, while sending masses of arms supplies to neighboring ukraine. that's as you state has been seeing its own army, lacking some key weaponry. micro maloof,

a former senior pentagon security policy analyst says the u. s. doesn't have enough stockpiles to provide for both its own defense needs. and those of ukraine you are stuck, piles are limited the amount, the ability of manufacturers to make this equipment is also running into issues. namely the, the, the supply chain issue. lot of the equipment goes that is being supplied is not a not tracked. so. no, no, no one knows where this equipment goes. once it gets into ukraine, a lot of it's being destroyed. but a lot of it too is going on black market. it's endless, and it's in the united states when we have so many resources. and that's, that's aside from the equipment itself. i mean it's, it's, and the congress, i think, in the american people certainly are waking up to this reality that there are other

issues for america right now. and that's what, by the ministry should be focusing on. and it's not to run has accused the us of spreading iran a phobic sentiment says joe biden wraps up his 1st presidential visit to the middle east. the u. s. is once more trying to create tensions and crises across the region through relying on the failed policy of iran, a phobia, a joint statement released after biden's trip to israel emphasized us led forces to prevent a wrong from building a nuclear bomb. biden has asserted the u. s. could use military force against iran as a quote, last resort. earlier this week, runs president promised a harsh response to any escalation by washington or its allies, political analyst and researcher christopher, hello. he says that the us and israel see iran as a military target, runs in 79 after the overthrow of the shop. they don't want to listen to washington, they wanted to have their own foreign policy. they, they are very much for

a different type of world order. and so you, what you see now is that you run is interested to join russia, china and other countries to really build that. and that ultimately friends, wall street in c, u. s. the military hegemony and it is nato's overarching, a global dominance. so it's, it's very much a nerve wracking for the elite in washington and in new york city, in brussels, in vienna, geneva. and the sad part is that if i didn't stick with to the middle east, the 1st one in this presidency was marked by a strong and t is on sentiment. and that was both in israel and also in saudi arabia. and we have to realize that this is jerusalem declaration that bite and same with the israeli authorities. but either really, it really is quite shocking because they're still leaving this military option, the table and the really have you run as a target. and so i think a very,

very much that this is a dangerous situation, and the iranian government is correct if you run a public, they are spreading it all over the region by this saber rattling comes. as u. s. president has failed to win an immediate oil output increase and a regional security alliance at the arab summit. with more on how biden's middle east tour dashed us hopes for a grand return to the region. his art, his policy findings for day middle east trip is over. but the question of what's actually achieved is still up in the air. his bit for more and she put boil, has been blown out of the water. i want to see the impact of this visit. i suspect you won't see that for another couple weeks. we, i'd say that come up east, it's oil production, bianca, $13000000.00 barrels a day. and off to shunning the kingdom over the 2018, killing a saudi journalist, jamal shockey. all eyes were on what might and would state to the conference i

in thank you. thank you. thank you. that's exactly what bite enabled saudi arabia while on his campaign trail back in 2019. but now fighting his tongue, he came asking for favor while still trying to save his own face. correct? all of us saudi's prior. i don't hear anything i said, but you don't to bump a to wyatt, do you? mm mm. i didn't nicky this from the golf compilation council. invite him to place it into the united arab emirates to washington. also announcing 1000000000 dollars company hunger in the region, while his overall message to avid leaders was we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to refill by china, russia we're room will seek to build on this moment with active principle,

american leadership. china was not impressed. phasing shot back at night and saying that the middle east was not someone's back yard, let alone a so called vacuum. meanwhile, american forces continue to target terrorists in the region and are deployed at bases throughout the middle east. still, this didn't stop bite and from suggesting he was to, in a page on what america did in iraq and afghanistan, easy for him. not to the families of a 1000000 iraqis killed not to mention the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan. and what about his very own 40 and slip? lori's honor, the bravery, selfishness, selflessness of the who sacrifices binding turned one page to another. this time he ran, of course, and ramping up support against these i make the public the united states stresses that integral to this pledge is a commitment never to allow iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. and that it is prepared to use all elements of its natural power

to ensure that outcome make no mistake bite boy elements might an mint. does that also means that you would use force against iran? is that what that mean? it was the last resort was he also failed to mention how close the event nuclear program was tied to how america really suffocated to ran with sanctions. because at the end of the day, it's one thing for might into say that the u. s. will not walk away from the middle east. it's quite another to ask how much the middle east won the americans to stay, especially now when washington has so little to offer. although walking away might not even be an option anymore. i think the history books, remember this trip as, as a sort of tipping point of how little power, how little influence,

how little he went to germany and really has affect any more intimate lease. you know, it was really basically an event. you know, we live in new, well now a multi polar wealth whereby russia, china, india, turkey, and a few others are forming a block and alliance in the world, just growing exponentially. and which is going to be much, much bigger power in the world than america ever. was transition going on? so u. s. a gemini, hasn't really played much role in the middle east for the last 5 or 6 years. and you can see that it's changing the whole the whole arena is changing. sri lanka has been in turmoil, over shortages of fuel and other essential goods such as food and medicine with a persistent mass protest pushing the president to resign and flee the country. now the south asian republics, the government is in talks to purchase much needed fuel supplies from russia. party correspondent runjun sharma explains how sri lankan have been coping with the

crisis. a shortage of fuel in a bankrupt country has led to prices of all commodities, including rice, wheat, fruits and vegetables, going to the roof with inflation at more than 50 percent, the prices are burning a hole in the pockets of she lumpkins. ordinarily this market would be buzzing with people at this hour, but now with the prices of basics going up drastically, things have changed. something like a banana say for example, is also become a luxury for many, it's very expensive compared to the 4 months ago. we don't consume brooks like those this, we just get this in shows that people have to be a good read money is who robin livings are not normally. at the moment, the island nation is running out of foreign currency deserves to import essential items and its impact is hitting hard look with the now counting on the changing

political landscape of the country to reshape their economic future. despite got by roger buck shells, resignation, protest continue, and sri lanka. it's d 100 and the crowd chance have gone from. got a go back to ronald, go back. why are people still your and not at home? you me ask. not far from the demonstrations is be to sons lean in a while or what they in these small alleys. we start by a house. it's around 7 in the evening. and regina has just started making dinner. she has to feed a family of 3, including her 2 children with no gas. she was a scare us into cook her. she has just about finished cooking and has been above got she, her family are going to eat the meal. incomplete darkness, just like more states, the power won't come back for the next 5 hours or so. although the cuts have gotten better from a month ago, but it's still a daily affair. by dwelling on godaddy,

it only able to give our children now once a day dumped on 3 times previously. because many parties are too expensive, longer than a few hours. with no telling when things will improve for engine sharma in colombo, 40 some asylum seekers to be forcibly deported from the u. k to a far away 3rd country. rwanda are reportedly at risk of suicide and investigation by the observer newspaper revealed that the u. k. home office shrugged off multiple suicide attempts by an afghan asylum seeker who can close to ending his own life while in custody and an migrant detention center. internal british government documents reportedly tried to dismiss the incidents, saying the man was, quote, fine, and able to undergo deportation. that assessment sparked outrage among human rights activists. it's deeply shocking that the home office is saying that someone who is

suffering extreme mental anguish due to the fear of their future and that of their children is fine with being forcibly removed. tawanda when the extent of their distress. so clearly demonstrates the opposite. the home office is denying reality or another you case signed the asylum partnership agreement with rwanda earlier this year, promising to pay 120000000 pounds to the east african country to accept quote, irregular migrants so far. the 1st 2 deportation flights have been postponed after an intervention by the european court of human rights and an abrupt shift in the u . k. leadership for more or less, less costly to political analyst alessandra bruno. so thanks for being with us to help us wrap our minds around this one. so, britain is reportedly claiming that asylum seekers are fine with being sent to rwanda despite several detainees threatening suicide,

including 3 attempts from an african migrant. what's your view on britain's actions? in this case? perplexed my who's perplexed i. i've heard of many schemes and how to handle migrants. and let me start by saying, i'm not a complete moralist that believes at all migrants should be processed and observed and allowed to the state because yes, it is quite problematic. there's no question about that. however, i don't think so far, any country had used this scheme whereby the migrants would be deported to a 3rd country that has nothing to do with the problem of the migrants. in other words, with the source of the, the reasons that push these people to, to leave. because most of the migrant that are coming from afghanistan, syria, iraq, libby,

and others all the most of them via libya and then so they are the ones who get through the mediterranean and come north. or maybe perhaps even a few other routes, but they think they seem to congregate in cali and france and then take boats to go to, to great britain. so it is a very strange solution. of course. one of the 1st things i checked was did is around getting some money for this. and because what's their interest? now, it should be said, rwanda is actually much. it's not the rwanda of 1994 is, has improved significantly since then. it is actually one of the best managed african countries, but it has, apart from some refugees who may come from area which is closer than the other countries that really seems a completely illogical step that gives humanitarian lawyers and

even people in pretty patel mister the home secretary named in great britain who is the architect of this scheme. it gives her critics ample father. i don't even think fellow conservatives in her own party and pretty patel's party agree with this policy. wholehearted. so it's a counterproductive and it goes on hypothesis because let's put it most policies to handle these refugees around europe are the definition of hypotheses. the war were started by european countries in western powers in all the places i said. and so the records are a problem related to that, but this solution is strange. what does the situation till about the overall treatment of asylum seekers in the u. k?

if you dig just a little bit bigger, deeper. well, i don't think the situation you k is any worse or better than other european countries, which are generally struggling to manage this problem. and actually should be said that countries like turkey and have has huge numbers of millions of refugees. i believe turkey has alone has 4000000. so they've observed a lot of the problems and many migrants are stuck at borders. so other european countries may not be taking this extreme step, but they are still in some ways brushing. i guess the this answers your question, they are brushing the problem under the carpet. in britain's case, they are brushing the problem under the carpet a little bit to visibly. because the one that just simply sticks in your mind is, what is the logic? it really highlights, i think, never before has this problem. so being so clearly highlighted. so the plan is also

said to be aimed at boosting rwandan investment and development. you mentioned that this is not the wanda of 994. do you think that this is really the case? i mean is the compensation enough there to wanda? this answer is insulting to run that one does not need this kind of business it. and frankly, the government under has had far more intelligent and sustainable schemes by sustainable, i mean, long lasting and enduring and, and practical. so i think it's just a cheap excuse for a very strange policy, which in some ways reflects other strange policies by the board of johnson government, including the one to be pushing europe to the brink of the

war with russia. so it's one other, one of the other policy when the question is, will it survive the, the, the government situation in great britain because this policy isn't cheap flights to on the are expensive. and i believe that the british government has already spent more than enough, more than the 120000000 promised to kigali to participate in the, in the, in the scheme. but truly one person may have been suicidal. i can certainly imagine that, you know, after making that kind of trip and risking your life and paying somebody to take you that that is certainly not the desired outcome. whether or not kigali is a more and more welcoming and viable place to live than it was 30 years ago. when, as you can imagine, the plan has far as protests including in brighton, cardiff and manchester. is there any chance that the government could scrap the policy you just mentioned that you don't know if it will survive?

there's been all sorts of legal troubles with it. is this possible it's just going to fizzle out? yes, i think there has been criticism from high authority. prince charles apparently is not a fan. and one of the leaders in whom may succeed bores johnson, a penny more than i don't think is a friend either. so i think the criticisms raised by people in pen, in the conservative party itself, internally probably, and the, the media attention that this is getting, i don't think are going to make it possible for this scheme to survive much longer . what other, wendy? i'm sorry, i didn't, i just wanna know what other ways could the u. k. deal with this influx of migrants and there's, i mean, it's an island. there's not many places for these people to go. well, this is an interesting situation. it goes to geography. the u. k. has rarely been

invaded in history, will apparently, and so, and the numbers of migrants that are hitting in british shores are significant. but they're not quite as significant as those affecting other european countries. in fact, they are fractions of those numbers. i know that one point in italy is one year they had to deal with $180000.00 migraines and they weren't reporting them anywhere . so the number of the highest numbers, i think, for great britain or anything from 25 to 30000 maximum, still high numbers, but not quite the same. and many of them are choosing england because they have relations there. after all, england has long been one of the main destinations for regular migration since the end of the 2nd world war. so i don't think this policy will survive. it has attracted too much, but attention on itself. and unlike other policies,

this one has a logic on it side. political analyst i was under bruno, always interesting to hear thoughts. thanks for being with us here on the international why germany will not survive the winter without russian gas. that's a stark warning from a senior german official, klaus miller, who had a federal agency in charge of natural gas supplies in the country. that's as drastically rising energy prices have sparked protests across the u. the ah, the sanctions imposed by western powers against russia have been hurting their own countries. you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has said that the measures require quote,

strategic patients. but as the chief economist at the institute of international finance robin brooks claims, despite facing unprecedented pressure from the west rushes, the camry seems to be doing just fine. according to key financial indicators who rushes, current account surplus.
