union is reportedly set to unfreeze some seized russian assets, while ukraine cries foul over what it calls a betrayal as western sanctioned thought in the face of a global food critics. plus a g of forces continue their relentless shelling of the dynamic, the people's republic r t visits the mother of a 10 year old girl who was killed by ukrainian strike right in front of her home with just after 5 pm here in the russian capital. and you're watching our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now russian president vladimir putin has just wrapped up the 1st round of talks with his iranian counterpart and to read. both nations have said that they want to expand their relations with a new strategic partnership deal on the table. turkeys president is also in to ran

to meet up with the russian and iranian leaders for bilateral and trilateral talks . officials are expected to discuss issues including the conflict and ukraine as well as gray exports from the country as other topics like the situation in syria. the head of president putin's visit russia gas prom signed a memorandum on a $40000000000.00 deal with a rand state oil company. artillio for trent go is now interact with more on what's expected to come out of the summit. with president putin doesn't leave russia that often these days. so every foreign trip is always a magnet for attention. the choice of destinations speaks volumes about moscow's priorities. so there you have it shortly after joe biden, towards the middle east. mr. prudent is visiting terran together with and that's also very important. turkey's leader, ty bardon here at the russian embassy into iran. we heard from the ambassador about

the diplomatic game of chess that is now, and it's crucial stage was seen to remove to europe. there were 2 so quite recently tehran has literally turned into a mecca for numerous foreign delegations that are coming to iran. they're coming not only from asian countries, but also from the ca. yes. from a number of european countries that are looking for ways to strengthen bilateral trade. so, but, but it's much more difficult for europeans to do this because they're forced to keep an eye on the americans. going back to the trilateral format, despite the men's contrast and interests when it comes to the syrian conflict, it was thanks to the efforts of the leaders of the 3 nations russia, turkey in a ran 4 years ago that syria. so like at the end of the tunnel ahead of another summit into iran, the gremlins spokesperson cold, the trilateral agreements, the only international format that is keeping serious stable. here's what else we heard from mr. pess. gov and his latest interview. well,

now it gives you through chest, the main purpose of the visit to iran east to participate in the summit of the ascent troika, the guarantor countries of the syrian settlement process, russia, iran, and turkey, which was this is a very important format that has shown its viability and is the only international format that is currently contributing to resolving the searing conflict. here, russia and a ran are now the most sanctioned countries in the world. but the latest efforts by the western european countries to isolate russia only led to closer ties between russia and the islamic republic. russian and iranian companies apparently have nothing to lose now. trade and national currencies as picking up pace ties are being expanded in so many areas from space exploration to joined car manufacturing . the 2 countries are now expecting to sign a major strategic partnership agreement. yeah, the most still pursuing on the 1st of all, we need to further increase tre,

turnover should, with our exports to iran, have increased by more than 50 percent and total tre, turn over by more than 30 percent of that. so i hope that by the end of this year, we will break the record that we set last year by more than $4000000000.00. so by the end of the year, we will have many more business missions, representatives of russian businesses will come to iran and vice versa to rush on at the more stores. and i think we will successfully resolve issues of banking cooperation, which is very important for switching to national currencies. earlier this month, turkey cemented its role as a key mediator and the ukranian conflict talks. an est ambled paved the way for a potential compromise on the issue of grain experts from blocked ukrainian ports latimer hooton's upcoming tete a tete with tie. beardon followed by an anticipated press conference, could shed light on a possible agreement. this could spell the 1st success in setting up direct hawks

between moscow and t as in months. we're expecting to hear more about that during bladder mark, pope, and trip to toronto. we've just got some live footage of what the leaders of russia and iran are discussing right now. so let's go take a look at what they are discussing are developing very bare with as if there is a willingness for him. both parties to express political will and to bring our relations to a new plan for a practical level with we have a bad experience with in the syrian settlement corporation and i think we help to enhance safety therapy. so oh, there is

a nash with our corporation in counter terrorist activities prove that we can achieve the goals that we have sat for an ard celibacy and we appreciate the efforts were made to enhance the security and our return it with people. i hope your official visit to ran will become proposal moment in

proving relations bilaterally and internationally. it is a great honor for me to be here on the iranian land. our relations are indeed developing at a very good pace with we've had a good dynamics in terms of tre turnover, and our joint efforts to strengthen international security have been successful, especially with regard to the searing settlements while that some of the latest footage we have from the meeting between russian president vladimir putin

and the rainy and president in their meeting and terran. but in other news, the european union is reportedly planning to partially on fries seized assets of some leading russian banks to ease global food trade transactions. brussels is said to be ready to pass the necessary paperwork on wednesday. however, the movie does not mean that any sanctions are officially being lifted. this comes and made an ongoing western denial that restrictions against russia over ukraine have led to a global food crisis. the thaws expected to be met with anger, and keith were, officials are now calling some of their western allies traders. as ortiz fiorella, isabel explained, it seems the less success ukraine has on the battlefield, the latter. it shouts at its western allies. those ukraine ones hailed us partners in the fight against so called russian terror are now increasingly being labeled as traitors. after all, it's much easier to pin the blame on someone else rather than take a look at yourself or change tactics. the latest to fall from calves,

very high pedestal is just in trudeau. that's after the canadian prime minister refuse to allow europeans to freeze this coming winter, due to the rise of energy costs across the e. you simply dang in the postal. this is not just about the turbine. this is about complying with sanctions. if there is one violation, now, it's only a matter of time before others will follow. russia is doing this on purpose, blick mailing others with gas and provoking sanction breaches. ukrainians will never accept count as decision regarding the norse trim turbine, which was decided to be handed over to germany in violation of the sanctions regime . it's not just canada back pedaling. vladimir zalinski is not pleased that some western banks have chosen to continue doing business with russian companies. in fact, the ukranian president even thinks some of them should be tried at the hag. never mind that j. p. morgan, one of the banks mentioned last $524000000.00, largely because of the fallout from the russia ukraine conflict. the bank is one of the biggest players and global commodities, and it's economic fluctuations,

greatly impact the global market. in my view, western banks are committing war crimes because they are helping the putin regime in this specific way, and they are supporting the regime. that's not all ukraine's foreign minister slammed what he called, a hypocritical nato for doing literally nothing to counter russia. the war is always a test that rips masks off, and we all saw real faces. what we saw some revolutionary groundbreaking decisions taken by the european union, which even they themselves did not expect to make. and we see nato as an alliance as an institution sidelined and doing literally nothing. i'm sorry to say literally nothing. a reminder that since the conflict began on february 24th of this year, ukraine has received billions of dollars worth of weapons and military equipment from at least $28.00 countries, including $25.00 nato members. and unfortunately for ukraine trainers are seemingly everywhere these days with the so called betrayal coming from inside the country as

well. the lensky recently fired to top officials, one being long term from even because of the head of the country's top security service. and the other being irina benedict to love. the prosecutor general beaufort, blamed for ramp and treason within their organizations with the lensky saying that a large number of their staffers were working with russia. stone. the solution that he's still not as of today. 651 criminal proceedings have been registered regarding treason and co operation activities of employees of the prosecutors, office pretrial, investigation bodies, and other law enforcement agencies. in particular, more than 60 employees of the prosecutors office and the s b. u remained in the occupied territory and our work him against our state. so while the u. britain and the u. s. are giving billions of a to ukraine and creating a self made economic crisis in their countries. here, others still calling many of them traders. what will be enough for ukraine?

it seems the country is not only losing ground on the battlefield against russia, but losing faith in the support from its allies who are coming to realize that heavy consequences of their own sanctions. russia's defense ministry says its forces have destroyed a field base, manned by the notorious, neo nazi right sector battalion and southern ukraine with at least 200 militants said to have been killed there by russian missiles. according to the latest reports, up to 60 soldiers have also been killed by russia, strikes on ukrainian military positions inside the done yet people's republic plus several storage facilities with ammunition for weapons supplied by the u. s. in europe, we're also destroyed, according to moscow. meanwhile, in the russian controlled hair, san region of southern ukraine, a key bridge has been bombed with local officials, blaming cubes, forces, or sawn authorities. se ukrainian troops used american supplied artillery rocket launchers to target the site. no casualties have been reported in that attack.

as cubes military continues to shell residential areas in the don boss, people's republics, the number of civilian casualties is mounting with many children. unfortunately, being among them, archie is roman costs are visited, a mother who lost her daughter during the ukrainian strike on central dance. the number of civilian casualties continues to mount here in the nest, especially. so since ukraine started receiving heavy caliber weaponry and ammunition from an 8th or now this place in the center of don ask is just one of the latest strikes according to local officials, a $155.00 millimeter cannon has struck this place as the result, a 10 year old girl was ripped apart and i spoke to her mom who is completely devastated.

ah, a bureau that needs to be able to go did. no one is, is, are banu when you're a nice, did you? but did you already bill goes to the war? he was she us down. killer city, new britain is the proof. the puzzle. bureau brewster. what doug ponder over him, look, i think i sent it on. mm mm . oh my azure ciocca. but a monster hearing a could to the couldn't relent throughout the process to sun with the rug

with to close out for, for you to you soon to do with . ready veronica was at a neighbor's house just a few doors sat down and just before the strikes began, she ran back home. according to her mom in order to brush her hair and get back to playing with her little friends. when the shell struck, her body ended up right here. you can still see the marks from the blood on the

asphalt. the neighbors are all visiting the place of her death right now, bringing flowers, plush toys. and of course, none of this can bring the little girl back as her mom. helena is completely devastated. grandma calls for f r t. then ask people's republic. ah, germany's chancellor has suggested ending the use vito policy for individual countries . that's after hungry, held up the implementation of the e. u 6th. sanctions package against russia due to energy concerns. all our false has been, has called the moved selfish and says the veto right should be scrapped if the block is to remain a global power. we simply can no longer afford national vetoes, for example, in foreign policy, if we want to continue to be heard in a world of competing great powers. so there is a troubling you trend bounce around the european union echo chamber last month. you

commission president ursula vander lay and said that she has no time for debate when it comes to foreign policy of the blocks member states. on the foreign affairs, i'm deeply convinced that it is not sustainable that the european union is not able to take a position because of one blocking and critical files and the speed at which things happen. the world wants to hear the european voice. the speed is too high to constantly or too often not be heard and seen because of the blocking of one here that plebeians of europe. president ursula has no time for your descent, particularly if it risks contradicting the agenda of the unelected bureaucrats leading the e. u. and neither now does german chancellor, olaf schultz, apparently, actually, if germany had been bothered to veto the ease decision to sanction its own russian gas supply at the outside of the conflict in ukraine, than maybe it's that is the most russian gas dependent country in the u. and the rest of the block wouldn't currently be facing an energy emergency was shortages,

rationing and even proposed new rules for air conditioning. and mid a record setting, continental heat wave, in order to better withstand the drastic fall in rush and gas supplies, which could be cut off altogether. the commission is expected to urge governments across the 27 nation block to set limits on the amount of energy used by public buildings, offices, commercial properties, and outdoor terraces for optimal energy use. it will recommend the rules require that public buildings be heated to no more than 19 degrees celsius and cooled by air conditioning unit said mil lower than 25 degrees celsius. if shows already wanted the you to compete with great world powers economically, then he would have done everything in his power to discourage you. leaders from burning the blocks economic bridges with russia at risk of greater dependence on the u. s. and its allies shows says that he wanted the you to compete with them.

but instead, the you is a step closer to becoming another, one of washington's economic vassals. for british prime minister, margaret thatcher, who viewed the, was a threat to national sovereignty, warned in 1992, amid the eas creation that it risk becoming an economic strait jacket for its members states. and 30 years later that vision is closer than ever to reality. the eas own stated aims are primarily economic. there's mention of an internal market, economic territorial cohesion, and the single currency of course. but nowhere does it say or even suggest that european countries have to give up their sovereign right to maintain and develop foreign relations with other countries. if schultz wanted to strengthen the use position among global heavyweights than he's doing and encouraging exactly the opposite of what he should be, isn't diversity supposed to be strength after all,

clarity that applies to diversity of use as well because of germany had spoken up and defended its own sovereign interest submit you sanctions folly than perhaps the citizens of the entire you would be facing much better prospects for their economic future. meanwhile, in france, more than a 100 refugees and social workers have protested outside a reception center for ukrainians and paris, demanding equal rights for migrants from other countries while accusing the french authorities of favoring ukrainian asylum seekers. who shall yet, there is a whole group of migrants who come here from various countries to denounce the existing differences in treatment. there are only 30 ukrainians inside. the rest of the facility is empty. the question is, why, and we know the answer. it's the racism of the state which leads to other people having to go stay on the streets, put on. okay. and you don't hear it. every euro put people there. good. give a close to him a not all 3 got a not dog gone as

a not to another thing or not do it on not to another boy. we'll have also like him problem. he often like them. we demand the same rights as ukrainians. neither more nor less housing and paperwork. some people come here from many countries of several nationalities, from sudan to eritrea, to afghan as dan. and we all form a collective of people who fight for equality and against racism. and that means obtaining housing and documents for every one, no matter the color of their skin or their nationality. the protest, her se refugees, fleeing from africa are risking their lives by traveling across the mediterranean sea and often fall prey to human traffickers only to end up facing discrimination and a denial of basic rights in europe. that's while ukrainian refugees enjoy preferential asylum programs and humane treatment. earlier this month, african refugees already cried foul over what they called double standards by french authorities in dealing with migrants from different regions. political

analyst nicholas markovich, says france has no real strategy for dealing with refugees outside ukraine. just shows the negligent and incompetent of the french authorities to tackle and immigration. it's also showing how politicized the whole ukrainian immigration and is going on around from crap as open centers for ukrainians, which are apparently empty, where they're not enough to create in there where they're talking a lot about. there's something on mainstream media that perhaps is open doors that it's helping ukraine and we're finding out that these 2 centers are half occupied. i think what it shows essentially is that trance has no strategy, no problem whatsoever to greet the immigrants coming from abroad. i think ukrainians is just a small, tiny bit of the, of the great numbers of immigrants coming over to france each year. but it shows that immigrants coming into friends have no housing mode. and some of the people in the coming up to the centers don't speak french,

there's no courses for them. there's no jobs waiting for them. and it shows that you governments, in france, whether they be from the left or for the rights have no program, have an open door policy that have nothing global supply chain disruptions due to western sanctions on russia are creating shortages of rare metal of rare materials . forcing companies to rely on them to raise prices and look for alternatives. japan's main producers of car batteries made from lithium hydroxide have increased . their price is almost $10.00 fold compared to last year. if asked their clients to deal with it and accept the new expenses. russia accounts for 6 percent of global supplies of lithium hydroxide, which the country is still exporting prices for other metals used in car batteries, such as nickel and copper are also on the rise. unlike oil, rare minerals and other compounds from russia are not under western sanctions.

however, some battery producers have expressed concern over supplies of rare earth metals from russia. but to get more on this now, we're going to cross live to our guest pakistan based economy economics expert shahita was around hi there, shahida. thanks for joining us. the 1st question, the 1st question i have for you is about the fact that the world is facing rising prices for microprocessors and products from rare earth metals due to countries not willing to buy them from russia. what do you think about that? actually, this is a very dangerous thing that is going to be happening because she has fractions of, you know, i can't believe gym and also other gases, also red guesses. they're also on their guys. and i think this is becoming, is going to become going to increase the cost a lot because for example, i need to practice, i want to do this by 10 percent. and i think because of that,

we're going to be seeing increase in prices that also make an offer of their prices rising. and because of that, all the fees that are using their prices are going to be shooting for the computer, electronic car and aircraft. so that is going to be good to see this problem because under the, you know, pressure that are already, you know, the dollar value is going up. and because of that, they are going to be witnessing fantastic increases in practices of aircraft and automobiles electronic card. and computers and their daughter for the products which use these matters and these, you know, these veterans and what effect do you expect that rising prices for these resources are going to have on other industries as well as supply chain disruptions?

you see the thing is that countries that are going to be affected, that industry's going to get affected, because if you don't like we're talking about japan and there are other countries also that are using ration mechanism. and if they can get these supplies, if there are disruptions of the supply chain, then obviously there is going to be a very serious problem for those industries. and i think there might be some d location open just to other parts of the world. so i think it's going to be a very, it's going to have very 5 years on the structure of the industry and the location will print this change to other countries. we're getting into the specifics here. japan's kawasaki heavy company is considering sourcing titanium used in aircraft from countries other than russia, which accounts for more than 40 percent of global output. how do you expect that to

affect the industry? actually i think that since it is that i go, yeah, sanctions order in both of these projects from russia. i don't see why the countries are, why didn't the russian import of these products, these metrics? and these the, you know, the, i guess is because like the, the restroom while european countries that are not, there is no sanction on the portal for the petroleum weight. and there's no such a that, i don't see why that of back walking the import of his progress from russia because i think they're going to be a cultural problem for that industry. i mean, there might even be the location or can just use, like i said. so i think we understand, and i think this is all right, even if it is official from the united states to stop importing the projects get

turned on, then you will, i think this is the most of what you're doing for countries to take care of their own national interest, and i think they should continue importing these records. and these are good. yes. it's from russia because i think at the end of the day, every country should take care of its own national interest. all right. shahita was or ought to economics expert based in pakistan. thank you very much for joining us on the program. you're welcome. now western sanctions against russia are bringing suffering to 3rd world countries like sri lanka, that's according to the impoverished south asian nations interim president. speaking at an international forum for preventing hunger and famine, let us look at the sanctions that are being imposed and not pass and is due span city. did you sanction being russia please means the

samsung on being rush. you have to leave me. but it did bring that in start. the dad was read to me as for long has gripped by its worst ever economic crisis. crowds of people are trying to flee the country, hoping that the grass is greener. on the other side. archie corresponded. ron john sharma spoke with some of them. what is bankrupt island going to its worse ever economic crisis due to its people. since the beginning of april, thousands have lost their jobs. desperate and hopeless with the system. she lumpkins now want to leave their once beloved country, but to do that, they need passports. and for that they require printing material, which is now in short supply. just like everything else, with the demand so high, the weight seems endless. you long to ago took dolphin cars. i'll type at old stations mathias at the department of immigration in columbus. these people have
