do divide people ah ah ah, russia says its forces have killed hundreds of foreign mercenaries and destroyed multiple ukrainian military assets inside the done yet the people's republic with a decisive battle for control of the area in full swing. while in the neighboring lugens, the people's republic, our corresponded joints of russian combat control that's mopping up hostile resistance from ukrainian troops dressed as civilians in the recently recaptured city of with control with we, with the now cooling for back up those hoshal potential whole stop in the park with building, and he just took

a short when the ukranian soldiers who were left behind have now changed into civilian clothes. plus saudi arabia says it's relations with the united states and china are not mutually exclusive. that's in the wake of jo biden's, much hyped, but ultimately lack luster. trip to the middle east. and sri lanka is acting, president, slams western sanctions against russia, saying they're only bringing 3rd world countries like the impoverished south asian nation to their need with just after 5 pm here in moscow. and you're watching our t international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. now, up to 254 and mercenaries have been killed in russia's latest strikes on ukrainian military sites inside the danielle people's republic. that's according to russia's defense ministry. here. some of the latest footage released by moscow showing multiple rocket launches against gets in the combat zone. defense ministry also

says its forces have destroy ukrainian nationalist formations and the countries char, costco region, as well as multiple military asset troops press on with their advance. it's inside don, boss as russia led to the bay were reportedly damaged in that attack. and in the late neighboring lugens people's republic. russian forces are restoring order. busy and the key city of list a chance after recently, we're taking the area, our senior corresponded moran gazda of joined some of the troops on patrol there as they encountered armed resistance from hostile strigler's. yes, well you know, you really bus a bus with the troll that we will we the now calling for back up as a hostile potential host up in an apartment building and he just took

a short but the control. the problem is that many ukrainian soldiers who deserted or who were left behind or who were left behind, have now changed into civilian clothes and a hides in the apartments that they have broken into obama. when you who did not get up on the bottom, i'm done with weaver, now been us to leave all rather escorted away from the area. the display, a 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 i would truly do every day, more ukrainian desert is and stragglers found some come in peacefully with others,

play, hide and seek. why did you decide to change it to civilian clothes and abandon yamil to re units? also, there was no sense in going anywhere. it's either a bulletin, it 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. and we were constantly retreating. where should we go to next to europe? for michelle, why didn't you try to leave the army earlier? if it were so, if we left would be shot by our own forces, what every captured ukrainian soldier is confirmed is that morale amongst their forces was disastrous. the kidney crew was felt abandoned, but he felt like cabin fog and he didn't like it. who knew? well, look, the morale in my units was very low as we were constantly retreating with 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 with every day the city's commandant tells us chaos and lawlessness. rashid water strengthens that. there is a long way to go, yet it is one thing to wear, the violence and the crime and the looting and entirely another can with the public that they will to come back with her before i'd gazda of mati firmly, she chance the gods, the people's republic, saudi arabia's top diplomat says re, adds relations with the united states, and china are not mutually exclusive. that's after joe biden made a promising but ultimately fruitless visit to the region in an attempt to drum up local support for washington and its allies or policies to build purchase, to countries. and we want to be able to deal with everybody in china is our largest trading partner. it's huge market for energy and

a huge market in the future with saudi arabia refusing to ditch its relations with china, in favor of pandering to the u. s. washington is still setting its sites on ultimate geopolitical dominance and middle east with more on how jo biden's tor has dashed us hopes for a grand returned to the region, hears ortiz, policy or 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 a come up based its oil production beyond 13000000 barrels a day, and off to shunning the kingdom over the 2018 killing of saudi jonas, jamal cash hockey. 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 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's prior, i don't hear anything i said, but you don't seem to bump a to why do you? mm. mm. i didn't make leaders from the gulf compilation council. invite him to place it into the united arab emirates to washington. also announcing $1000000000.00 to believe 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 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 bases throughout the middle east. still, this didn't stop bite 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 biden turned one page to another. this time he ran, of course, and renting up support against these army republic. the united states stresses that integrity of his 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 rent 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 away might not even be an option any more. i think the history books, remember this trip as, as a sort of tipping point of how little power, how little influence, how little

u. s. a gemini really has affect any more. and i'm at least, you know, it was really basically a non event. you know, we live in a new, well, a multi polar well, where by russia, china, india, turkey and a few others are forming a blog and alliance in the world is growing exponentially. and which is going to be a much, much bigger power in the world than america ever was. is 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. now, in the aftermath of biden's controversial trip to the middle east terran has slammed his policy in the region, accusing the u. s. of spreading iran a phobic sentiments. 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 emphasize us lead efforts

to prevent her on 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 around president promised a harsh response to any escalation by washington or its allies, political analyst and researcher christopher holly says the u. s. in israel, c, a ran as a geopolitical threat. iran in 79 after the you know, the overthrow of the shop. they don't want to listen to washington. they wanted to have their own foreign policy. they are, 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, brian's wall street is in the us. the military had gemini and it's, there is nato's overarching global dominance. so it's, it's very much a nerve wracking for the elite in washington and into new york city in brussels, in vienna and geneva. and the sad part is that the bite in 5th to the middle east,

that the 1st one in the 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 judice l'm declaration that bite insane 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 a very, very much this is a dangerous situation, and the iranian government is correct if you run a phobic, they are spreading it all over the region. western sanctions against russia are only bringing suffering to 3rd world countries like 3 lanka that's according to the impoverished nations interim president, speaking at an international forum for preventing hunger and famine. let us look at d. r sanctions that are being impose and ask ourselves,

is this nancy? it is sanctions been russia? leads means the sal sharon, been russia, believe me, but entering the rest of the 3rd world to its knees in whilst or long cuz government has imposed fuel rationing and the latest attempts to bring the country's economic turmoil under control. that's as people chew up for hours or even days to fill up at petrol stations. so long as energy minister has even urged residents not to wait in vain saying that only limited supplies will be handed out throughout this week. the country has been really from a profound crisis that has left it unable to import sufficient amounts of essential goods including fuel. some people have even been observed fighting over gasoline, as many residents are faced with a hard choice of having to buy fuel or food or t corresponded. runjun sharma explains house reluctance are coping with the quite 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 buckets of she lumpkins. ordinarily this market would be buzzing with people at these hollow, but now with the prices of basics going up, trustee things have changed. something like a banana, see for example, is also become a luxury for many, it's very expensive. come back to the full months ago. we don't consume fruits like those days. we just get this in shows that people have to be a good money. this is robin whipping, so i'm not normally make the moment the island nation is running out to 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 gustavo roger, buck shells resignation,

protests continue in sri lanka. it's d 100 and the crowd chance have gone from. gotta go back to ron and go back. why people still hillary? i'm not at home. you me ask. not far from the demonstration. is peter sons lean in while what day in these small alleys? we still buy a house. it's around 7 in the evening. andrew cheney has just started making dinner . she has to feed a family of 6, including her 2 children with no gas. she was as kerosene to cook her. she has just about finished cooking and as been a bava, got she how 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 good up ready at the with her only able to give all children milk once a day dumped on 3 times previously. because ment,

powder is now too expensive. we'll try to feed our children 3 times a day where we can barely manage to do it more than once or twice. we counted and gab basic madsen for children. there are no on to buy out except local pharmacies or even at hospitals. routine, east tory is not just her story. it is the story of many of the 22000000 people in the country. and unlike the daily bava cut outs, their plight will last much longer than a few hours. with no telling when things will improve ruins. sharma in colombo, 40 germany will not survive the winter without russian gash. that's a stark warning from senior german official, klaus mueller who heads a federal agency in charge of natural gas supplies in the country. this comes as drastically rising energy prices have sparked protests in germany and other, you countries, the

ah, the sanctions imposed by western powers against russia have been hurting their own economy's u foreign policy chief, just separate burrell has said the measures require, quote, strategic patients. but as the chief economist at the institute of international finance robin brooks claims, the russian economy seems to be doing well despite facing on present, unprecedented pressure from the west rush. his current account surplus usually shrinks in the summer months when western europe doesn't need gas for heating. however, this year, the surplus is 28200000000 and monster surplus of our own making russians current account surplus. the universal measure of trade in goods and services has surpassed $70000000000.00. it's highest point since 1994. that's according to the most recent data released by the countries central bank. meanwhile,

lottery or potent says western sanctions will not deter moscow's economic growth is not currently, they are not only implementing restrictions against us when we are being denied access to foreign high tech products. they are attempting to contain our development. it is clear that we cannot develop in isolation from the rest of the world and we want in today's world, it is simply impossible to put a huge fence around an entire country. the isolation has not worked. obviously, russia's trade surplus as spiked despite violence sanctions being thrown by atlanta system because russia's 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 influence. the sanctions are thus, you know, burning the village to save if you will. a sacrificing not just ukraine, but eminently, you know, any baltic stater scandinavian state that would want to get belligerent and turn

and the european economy as well. or let's see what, you know, 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 capt without then molesting this trans atlantic. finance is own delicate and increasingly mathematically untenable. arrangements a trial after a conviction, that's what r t has called a new statement from british media regulator off. com, which is accused our outlet of failing to deliver impartiality. the watchdog has even threatened new sanctions against our team, despite the fact that it already revoked our u. k. license 4 months ago. the logic of these decisions mirrors the one guiding their delivery many months after off comes revocation of our t license. it is a trial after conviction, and r t is guilty of being russian and daring to voice a point of view and show facts unacceptable to the british political and media

establishments. or he is not the only media outlet hit by sanctions as russian news agency. sputnik is also in the blacklist across the european union. earlier the european commission president proposed banding 3 other russian broadcasters. while in may, the u. s. announced it would stop providing broadcast equipment as well as technologies for russian state own channels. international editor of the morning, star newspaper, steve sweeney. consider the move, buy off. com and attempt to control the narrative in the okay, this is in reality, this is state sponsored censorship on an all was unprecedented scale. this is the sign of a weak government. this is a government afraid of the truth and is afraid of losing control of the narrative. the news is coming out of the region from the mainstream. western price isn't really reflecting the reality on the ground. i myself of being inside ukraine, and i can tell you from 1st experience that the brit what's being relate to the

british public certainly is in tune with what's happening. i was of course threatened, and when i was inside the country, i was threatened with execution. and there are other journalists, like even a canadian journalist who is also paid on the government killers. i'm not sure how they're going to proceed with this. and how are they going to impose any sanctions or any fines seeing as being or they can't accept any payment in rubles, it can't broadcast on, on, on another channel. so, you know where we go from here is very of the use of sanctions to control the media . narrative is an absolute clump down on, on press freedom. and we've seen this time and time again for the government, which insisted, you know, that it stands up for the truth. but they, they're, you know, they're censuring the truth. ah, some of the weapons sent to ukraine by the united states or ending up in the hands of kurdish militants in syria. that's according to captured, british mercenary, 8 in 8th, lynn, who has been sentenced to death for plotting a qu,

data in the danielle people's republic in an interview with american blogger, john doogan, the convict district, described the alleged black market trade involving western weapons and ukraine. a warning, we have not been able to independently verify his claims for a brief or beautiful blackboard. if you let me speak, i'll be able to help me out and get to this spot so. so again, this is weapons game was missing. there's like night vision, like the new stuff that the americans give like that that ends up being sold because people lose it and they, they can work out a way to make it. yeah. and in regards to the weapons and it wasn't, it wasn't back anytime recently like before, the operation, but it was some time last last year we got back from rotation. and my, my command that he called me like to go to the stop to the italian headquarters and

he said there's among he wants to speak with you. he didn't say who he was. he just, i need to say hello, i'm from certain groups. i'm sure you know who they are in ukraine. we're interested because of the like, background, like you've been to syria, like i was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about your experience in time. so it was like telling them about what it did like when and so the news like they just don't know anyone. and. and basically i was saying, yeah, i still got some context out of my friends, still guy, whatnot. and so he said, why do you reckon you would be out to like, put us in contact with them and help us like speak to them like on official capacity? and i was like, yes, i agree. yeah. like later i was, i guess with, and they would, they want to speak to you about and they were basically saying that they want to like, basically show those weapons like for price. i think america is like using it as

a way to like get to weapons to sarah because of the problems with turkey and they are the problems because like with nato and stuff. so it's, this is definitely plausible for me to like accept that they are using like the ukranian side as a way to get the weapons that's needed in city at the coach. and we have reached out to the pentagon for comment on these allegations, but have yet to receive a response earlier john duke and shared his impressions with our correspondent roman custer, of what sir, you know struck you the most from this interview in a speaking, how he actually went into his role and where some corrupt actors in the ukranian government in ukrainian military were taking american and nato weapons and selling these to the kurds. and this is a huge deal because the kurds are,

they are fighting against turkey. and turkey is supposedly an american ally. these people shuffling weapons. i to the kurds, to kill the turkish. this very, ah, underhanded plot may be by the american government in order to get weapons into the hands of the kurds. how would you call his state of minds at this moment in time? because the guy was convicted and he was sentenced to to death. yeah. by firing squad. what would you say about his state of mind today? well, his date of mine was good and i think it was very optimistic. you could, you could see it in his body language. you could see it in a way he talked. it was good. and what he said was, you know, because his attorney has established the fact that he was serving as a member of the ukrainian military. now, whether or not that is,

or whether or not that stands for is, is left to be seen. ah, but from what i understand, he probably has a good. he probably has a good shot with his appeal, and i think he knows this and i think, you know, he's just a big weight has been lifted from his shoulders. john, thank you very much for your insights on this. you can always take a look at the interview on john, duke and resources. meanwhile, at all, for marcia here, john zagan political blogger, and raman coffer of from the people's republic. oh, that's the way the news goes. this our stick around for more world news stories and just about 30 minutes a i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people.
