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 shells from 3 sides, rosario, herself, that her we continue our offensive in the direction of solid, are bankruptcy, 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. the loo, ganske people's militia, which is moving in this direction, has confirmed the seizure of ne to weapons as trophies and villages and towns abandoned by the cranial troops to tony cooked custard. molina, but all knows what this is their lasting 3rd line of defense. 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, daniel people's republic,

and in the loo, ganske, a republic local authority, se ukrainian troops have been targeting the city of stuck on off using to us, supplied high mars rocket systems. no casualties have been reported so far. elsewhere in the la guns republic, after heavy fighting for the city of lucy, chance russian forces have been tasked with restoring order to the city. but here's what i got the of has visited the area and observed the russian patrols there. yes isn't. why you don't really, but say, proceed with control that we will we the now calling for back up as a hostile potential hostile in an apartment building and he just took a shot. the police control. the problem is that many ukrainian soldiers who deserted when were left behind or who were left behind, have now changed into civilian clothes and

a hiding in the apartments that they have broken into 0. can i feel about when you, who do i get a hold of him? i'm done with weaver, now been us to leave all rather escorted away from the area. the display, 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 in order to catch this person who fulfilled a 3rd day that has been taking what shots. 5 with rolling through every day more ukrainian desert is and stragglers of found some come in peacefully, others play, hide and seek. why did you decide to change him to civilian clothes and abandoned new military units? there was no sense in going anywhere. it's either

a bulletin who had or a criminal charge. i'm a local, so i decided to say so you felt it was futile to continue to fight us. indeed, we were constantly retreating. where should we go to next to europe? for michelle, why didn't you try to leave the army earlier? yeah, so if we left would be shot by our own forces. what every captured ukrainian soldier has confirmed is that morale amongst their forces was disastrous. ukrainian troops felt abandoned, but they felt like cabin fodder. and they didn't like it at all. you will look, the morale in my units was very low as we were constantly retreating and didn't have enough ammunition. the commander stay far from the front and came out only to perch. i saw that personally. well, i was in the city this bad was captured by soldiers of the i man battalion was once

exclusively made up of chechnya and now it accepts any who want to join regardless of hackney city. their job here is law enforcement with all that it entails. what would you want to hold on one second? is there a one for us? for our food is alone. earth, what company will produce? normally, you know, with every day the city's 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 the parley, another can with the public that they will to come back with her before i guess d of r t family she chance lugens people's republic. ah, to ron has accused of the us of spreading iran phobic sentiments as 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, in joint statement released after biden's trip to israel emphasized u. s. lead efforts to prevent iran 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. you run in 79 after the, you know, the overthrow of the show. they don't want to listen to washington. they wanted to have their own foreign policy. they were there very much for a different type of world order. and so you, what you see now is that iran is interested to join russia,

china and other countries to really build that. and that ultimately, bryan's wall street, it's in the u. s. military had gemini. and if there is nato's overarching global dominance. so it's, it's very much a nerve wracking for the, in the, in washington and in the new york city in brussels, in vienna, in geneva. and the sad part is that the bite in the middle east, that the 1st one in this presidency was marked by its drug and iran sentiment. and that was both in israel's and also in saudi arabia. and we have to realize that this judas l'm declaration that bite and same with the israeli authorities. it really, it really is quite shocking because they're still leaving this military option, the table and the really they have iran, as it's i get. so i think very, very much this is a dangerous situation, and the iranian government is correct. if you run a focus, they are spreading it all over the region. biden's saber rattling comes as the us

president has failed to win an immediate oil output increase. and the original security alliance at the arab summit with more on how biden's middle east tour dash us hopes for a grand return to the region. here's our cheese pulse here. findings for day, middle east of his over. but the question of what actually achieved is still up in the air. his bid for more and cheap oil has been blown out of the water, mostly the impact of this visit. i suspect you won't see that for another a couple weeks. we, i'd say, as it cannot be, its oil production beyond 13000000 barrels a day, and off to shunning the kingdom over the 2018 killing of saudi joan is jamal cash hockey. all eyes were on what might and would say to the conference. i in thank you. thank you. thank you. that's exactly what

bite enabled saudi arabia on his campaign trail back in 2019 but now fighting his tongue, he came asking for a favor while still trying to save his own face. correct. calling out of saudi prior, i don't hear anything i said, but you don't fuss to bump a to wyatt, do you? mm. mm. might admit he does from the golf compilation council, invite him to place it into the united arab emirates to washington. also announcing 1000000000 dollars to believe hunger in the region, while his overall message to ab 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 america leadership. china was not impressed. phasing shot record bite 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 basis to up the middle east. still, this didn't stop by and from suggesting he was in a page on what america did in iraq, 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 sacrifices mind and turned one page to another. this time he ran, of course, and renting up support against these i make the public the united states stresses that integrity to this pledge is a commitment never to allow iran to acquire nuclear weapon. and that it is prepared to use all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome make no mistake by

what elements might and meant does that also means that you would use force against iran? is that what that means? it was the last resort. yes. he also failed to mention how close the event nuclear program was tied to how america many suffocated to rad with sanctions. because at the end of the day, it's one thing for mind and to say that the us will not walk away from the middle east. it's quite another to ask how much the middle east once the americans to stay, especially now when washington has so little to offer. although walking weight 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 usaa gemini really has affect any more. and i'm at least, you know,

it was really basically an event. you know, we live in a new, well, a multiple, a world where by russia, china, india, turkey, and a few others are forming a blog and alliance in the world, just growing exponentially. and which is going to be a much, much bigger power in the world than america ever was. there's a transition going on a 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 how the whole the whole arena is changing. long as the energy minister has urged residents of the south asian country to stop lining up at gas stations, saying only limited supplies will be permitted to throughout this week. the country has been reeling from a profound economic crisis that has left it unable to import sufficient amounts of essential goods, including fuel. long lines have persisted outside gas station with some locals, claiming that they have been waiting for days. some people have even been observed

fighting over gasoline, as many residents have a hard choice to make on whether to buy fuel or food or g correspondence room june sharma explains how she lumpkins have been coping with the crisis. a shortage of fuel in a bankrupt country has led to prizes 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, see, for example, is also become a luxury for many, it's very expensive, some bad, 234 months and will be, don't consume brooks, like gooseberries. we just get their st. joseph people to bridge the money.

there's a problem with beans 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 up a roger buck, shells, resignation, protest continue, and sri lanka. it's d 100 and the crowd chance have gone from. gotta go back to run and go back. why are people still your and not at home? you may ask, not far from the demonstrations is better sons lean in valor. what day in these small alleys we stop by our house. it's around 7 in the evening. and regina has just started making dinner. she has to feed a family of 6, including her 2 children with no gas. she was a scarce into cook her. she has just about finished cooking and has been above a got she, her family are going to eat the meal. incomplete darkness,

just like most is 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, her only able to give all children now wants to die down from 3 times previously. because milk powder is now too expensive. we tried to see our children 3 times a day. well, we can barely manage to do more than once or twice. we counted and gab basics, madsen for children. there are no on to buy out except local pharmacies or even at hospitals. rich, nice story is not just her story. it is the story of many of the $22000000.00 people in the country and unlike the daily power cut out their flight will last much longer than a few hours. with no telling when things will improve for engine sharma in colombo, for germany, will not survive the winter without the russian gas. that's a stark warning from a senior german official klaus mueller who has

a federal agency in charge of natural gas supplies in the country. that's as drastically rising energy prices have sparked protests across the the ah, the sanctions imposed by western powers against russia have been hurting their own countries. you foreign policy, jeez, joseph burrell has said that the measures require, quote, strategic patients. but as the chief economist of the institute of international finance robin brooks claims, despite facing unprecedented pressure from the west, rushes economy seems to be doing just fine. this according to key financial indicators. russia's current account surplus usually shrinks in the summer months

when western europe doesn't need gas for hitting. however, this year the surplus is 28200000000 and monster surplus of our own making. russia is current account surplus. the universal measure of trade in goods and services has surpassed $70000000000.00 its highest point since $994.00. that's according to the most recent data released by the central bank. we heard from independent economic analyst pi, ian, who is certain that the west attempts to isolate russia have not worked. the isolation is not work. obviously, russia's trade surplus as spiked despite violence. sanctions being thrown by atlanta says because the rushes directly benefited, yet again from high oil and gas prices, which in part are necessary actually for trans atlantic. high finance and central banking themselves to maintain their overbearing global economic influences. the sanctions are thus burning the village to save it, if you will,

a sacrificing not just ukraine, but eminently, you know, any baltic state or scandinavian state that would want to get belligerent and turn and add the european economy as well. or let's see what the next 8 months spring, for instance, across europe. the world clearly needs russian oil and natural gas, which actually cannot be fully sanctioned or even price kept without then molesting this trans atlantic finance is own delicate and increasingly mathematically untenable. arrangements, suicide attempts, amid anxiety, apparently shrugged off by u. k. authorities, as the home office proceeds with plans to deport asylum seekers to rwanda, despite their threats to kill themselves in a detention center. according to the documents seen by the observer newspaper. now according to the papers, in one of the reported cases, a detainee made a number of attempts to kill himself after finding out that he would be sent away

by hanging himself and drinking shampoo. he then reportedly planned to throw himself out a window in the immigrant detention center itself. home office officials though, reportedly tried to dismiss the incident, saying that the man was, quote, fine and able to undergo deportation. that assessment has sparked outrage among human rights activists. its 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, to wander, when the extent of their distress. so clearly demonstrates the opposite. the home office is denying reality. the u. k. 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 scheme by the ruling tory party was meant to curb the rising influx of migrants into the u. k. while showing support for developing rwanda's refugee programs, requiring migrants to stay in that country for 5 years,

but to plan to be port taishan flights have so far been postponed. earlier we asked political analyst, alexander bruno, whether the deal with the u. k. could actually benefit rwanda. rhonda does not need this kind of business in frankly the government rhonda 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. 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. the while cubes government persists with its demands for increasingly more supplies of western made weaponry. a major us 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 that 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 bushmaster artillery guns and ammunition that america has supplied to gives

forces at the american defense industry has been struggling to source critical components due to constraints in global supply chains. u. s. government has committed to, to provide far more weaponry for the ukranian war effort than any other country. in fact, the u. s. has already provided more than $7000000000.00 of military to ukraine. meanwhile, pollings 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 the state has been seeing its own army. lacking some key weaponry, michael 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, us stockpiles are limited. the amount, the ability of manufacturers to make this equipment is also running into issues.

namely the, the, the, the supply chain issue lot of the equipment goes that is being supplied is not that track. so no, no, no one knows where this equipment goes. once it gets sent to you, great, a lot of it's been destroyed, but a lot of it to is going on black market. it's endless, and it's in the united states and we have so many, 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 ministration should be focusing on. and it's not severe wildfires have been sweeping through parts of southern europe with thousands of people forced to flee their homes in france, spain and greece. the blazes have been attributed to extremely hot and dry conditions. as a summer heat wave has gripped to the continent,

with temperature is regularly climbing over 40 degrees celsius. global warming has been cited as a factor with more hot weather forecast for the coming days. ah ah .

ah. that is it for me this our stay was us throughout the day though as we bring you more news and commentary, this is our to international. what have you with us a ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desert wonder global sheffield malice, who thought it was william prague yet just me sitting around it with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture yet the know what he creates a few orders. because if you're, when you're miles for cure, which will be your that is cia mozilla. that though the most of us have reached

a random e. w. what rush has created over the past 1500 years is now question. partially condemned, reviled, and rejected. to sit in line and you said it's funny at the will of bell. there's a lot closer on a whole poetry. he to anticipate a little short list. joining total condemnation, gross daily, and now includes dostoevsky to cascade shostakovich that i need to you all must but yes she says that with that i'm will you do a bomber lee? you're not going to do that a little bit more. ah, ah
