for ah, with russia he run and nato member turkey issue a joint statement calling on washington to withdraw the u. s. troops from syria and stopped dealing oil from that ward for middle eastern country. drunken acting leader is elected president and a secret ballot by parliament as mass demonstrations. continue with protesters, burning his effigy and security forces patrolling on high alert. beijing fires back and washington's accusations about china supposedly not doing enough to really leave the food crisis in africa. as beijing says, the us role in the deteriorating situation on the continent is obvious with our

team crew reports on location. in regards to republic, committee ukrainian shelling as kim's forces launching offensive to retake territory there. with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. it's certainly glad to have you with us. now, russia's president vladimir putin has held talks with his iranian and turkish counterparts in tape ron, as part of the austin a troika piece process for resolving the syria conflict. they focused on measures to eliminate the hot bed of international terrorism in the war torn middle eastern country. and the russian leader also commented on a number of key issues, making headlights, marty correspondent, the leper tranquil reports. well, this constant blame game that has to do with the russian gas exports has been going on for months and months. evil additions, keep saying that the gas prices are going through the roof because of what vladimir

putin is up to. because of how the russian government is pulling the strings. but here in the capital of iran to have on latimer, pope, and try to silence the critics with what he called facts from a to z. there are several routes that enable the flow of russian gas to europe and according to the russian leader. if you look at most of these routes in each case, you will find how the european politicians are shooting themselves in the foot. take north stream one and 2, for instance. the 2nd pipeline has long been complete, but it stopped being certified. now turbans for the 1st pipeline are supposed to be in maintenance, but they can't be delivered back to the baltic sea because of sanctions, which is good for what's his gas prone have to do with this. they closed one pipeline for scheduled maintenance. the other pipeline was closed because of sanctions gas promised. ready to pump as much gas as is necessary. it's the west

that is imposing these obstacles. they're doing the same thing with oil and petroleum products. gas problem has always fulfilled and will continue to fulfill all of its obligations. it's our partners who are trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes on to gas problem without any justification. so like you just heard, there was another very important message latimer potent warned europeans against the same approach when it comes to oil. now here and to ra vladimir putin also had a one on one meeting with turkeys type air dawn for several weeks. ankara has been trying to act as a mediator and help ukraine with resolving the issue of blocked grain and it's black sea port cities. we heard from the russian leader that this is still work in progress, but what the russian side, once see is a fair approach, which means no sanctions on rushing grain and fertilizer exports. well, with coven ukraine and the energy crisis, the syrian conflict has taken somewhat of a back seat. well here in raleigh,

the leaders of the 3 countries reminded that 40 years ago russia, iran, and turkey created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting different sides still and different political goals. the 3 leaders are on the same page when it comes to one very important aspect, and that is foreign actors in syria, russia, iran, and turkey. despite our divergent views on what is happening on the euphrates, have a shared position that the u. s. must stop stealing from the syrian people. they must stop taking oil from there and they must withdraw from the country. we believe that in order to achieve long term stability, their control over the entire territory must be transferred to the official government in damascus. under the control of the armed forces of the syrian arab republic. what we've seen in the uranium capital is that the level of trust between

tara and moscow in ankara only keeps growing. the next summit will take place in russia. we heard from a political communications professor at the university of ron florida is adi, who says that the level of cooperation between russia and iran will only increase both russia and major oil and gas producers. their neighbors, they have had historical relations president was in russia just before they thought of the conflict ukraine resisting less than is a loan of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and governments including, and especially the united states, is going to question it. so it makes sense for neighbors to be increased

cooperation. as you know, you don't. and russia assigned $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the meetings in the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be a win win situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people. the countries are too long because acting leader has one that the presidential election conducted in a secret ballot by parliament as mass protest persist in the south asian country, torn apart by spiraling economic crisis. hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the president palace, some of them burning an effigy of the term leader, while demanding he resign as a symbol of a tarnished governess. meanwhile, security forces have been on heightened alert and the largest city colombo, amid the election with the soldiers patrolling the streets and waterways. our correspondent roonan sharma, reports on location water inside the sri lankan parliament has concluded and drawn

in whitcomb, a single house, the number's, he's elected as the new president of the country. this comes after weeks and months of protests on the ground against goes up roger buckshot as well as john in vitro missing. you know ron into somebody who's seen as an ally of the roger puck shaws. remember when go buy a roger? fuck shot fled the country he made rondon as an acting president of the country is also the prime minister, the farmer dynamics now once again with roger buckshot, this is something that is going to anger the protest of the don't have any faith in the roger buckshot is what the protest to say in the days to come, the protest on the ground could amplify. mostly lunk all ready is grappling to shortage. a few will shortage. your follow shortage of food as well as medicines. and now there is a new problem at hand, which is a humanitarian and no one on the crisis which only seems to be intensify in the

country. china's foreign ministry fires back at us allegations that beijing is not doing enough to prevent an escalating humanitarian crisis in africa. as beijing points out, that the u. s. should seriously reflect on its own role in the problem and stop smearing china. one country in particular, stands out right now for its absence. the peoples republic of china, signing on to the road map, removing export restrictions in its fertilizer exports and releasing some of its grain reserves either to the global market or to humanitarian entities like the world food program. with significantly relief pressure on food and fertilizer prices and powerfully demonstrate the countries desire to be a global leader and a friend to the world's least developed economies. china has provided more funding cent, more experts and undertaken more projects under the framework of the food and agriculture

organizations, south south cooperation program than any other developing country. it is quite clear to the world who exactly is causing the global food crisis. the u. s. side also admitted that the sanctioning of russia has taken a toll on many countries and made food shortages are reality. we hope that the u. s . will seriously reflect on its disreputable role in the global food crisis and stop smearing and making groundless accusations against china. the number of people facing starvation in the horn of africa is expected to reach 20000000 within the next 2 months. china earlier confirmed that it would provide emergency food supplies to a number of countries in the region, but apparently that is still considered to not be enough to relieve the manager in crisis in africa. or she's rich weapons explains samantha power, who made her name in the white house by pushing president obama to take a more hawkish approach to libya and syria has now turned her attention to china. as she weeds the notorious us agency for international development, the former envoy to the us who also supported regime change in several countries

regardless of the collateral damage, is now claiming that china isn't doing enough to help the people of africa prevent a food crisis. and she's not alone. u. s. corporate media outlets or having a field day running with the phrase dat trapped diplomacy. they're using it to claim that beijing carries responsibility for the current economic crisis, entree walker, while ignoring the activity of western organizations like the i m f, which have long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. but when it comes to preventing global food shortages, beijing is arguing that it is in fact actively working to do just that. looking at africa specifically, which is in samantha powers, cross hairs china and now it's a new program for countries affected by major drought and the horn of africa in march. and beijing ramped up as a to south africa and the phase of devastating floods in april. there's all kinds

of china has been providing emergency food aid for more than 50 countries in asia, africa, and latin america since 2016. and in response to the latest comments from washington, beijing says the us should take a good look in the mirror before criticizing the actions of others, the u. s. has done nothing to reduce its own food, consumed for energy, and has even exploited the situation to inflate grains prices and seek selfish profits. china has also pointed out that it's the us which continues to prolong conflict in ukraine by supplying new episodes despite the fact that even president biden himself has been warning about global food shortages for months. but while washington has earned its title as the largest export of arms in the world, and china is not even close, so may have the power says the us should also be recognized for writing the most humanitarian aid. the united states has long been the leader in responding to managerial crises. and we are proud of that leadership and incredibly grateful to

congress and to the american people for their compassion and generosity. it's notable that she brought up congress there because it's capitol hill that is now in the process of passing legislation for next years military budget. the latest version of the national defense authorization act, specifically states that money from the pentagon cannot be used to transfer things such as humanitarian aid to afghanistan. and that's no accident. in fact, even when one congresswoman introduced a waiver to allow the us to give it specifically to afghanistan, her own lawmakers shut her down. afghanistan is facing one of the most horrific humanitarian crises in the planet. we should be doing everything in our power to deliver humanitarian assistance to the afghan people, not needlessly limiting the aid we can supply. that humanitarian crisis was triggered by washington, moved to replace billions of dollars in aid with crushing sanctions. as the u. s.

withdrew its troops and the biden administration sees more than $9500000000.00 worth of afghanistan, central banks, assets over fears that they would be used by the taliban as it swept back to power and cool. so all samantha power claims trying to isn't doing enough to help and refuse to admit how much the u. s. has done to fuel the current problems in the 1st place. the main stream media continues to claim that when beijing does something, it must be some sort of a trap, as if the us and its allies haven't become known for the same traps that they are now accusing china of spreading all around the world. one person has been reported killed and 3 others wounded, including a child in ukrainian shelling of the done yes. consider it of goal of on wednesday morning, kids forces have unleashed devastating artillery fire onto residential areas and other than yes. city. yes. and has also been shown by ukrainian army with civilians,

homes destroyed in the attack. local officials claim that around $1700.00 buildings have been destroyed and the republic since february and in the neighboring lu, ganske republic, the ukrainian army has launched a new offensive to retake territory after russian led forces recently claimed that they have full control over the entire republic or cheese, but i guess you have reports from the ground. on the outskirts of dela got of course, we witnessed a somewhat rare spectacle and attempted offensive by ukrainian forces. i saw sizes. oh, how move again in support of the crew? again, on the white glove. the ukrainian troops here belonged to the infamous nationalist

cracking battalion. their intent was to get close to bella, god of go through the woods near by. they were met with a hail of artillery fire. he perceived them after that we were ordered to retreat. every one ran away, we kept shouting, don't shoot at the soldiers who were behind us were. dmitri was wounded by shrapnel . he was left behind by his panicked brothers in arms, in all full kracken fight, his wood captured alive. one of them, an officer. how did commanders treat the troops? i don't know like birth worms just crushed them under foot and kept walking. how is morale in your units in crackin? no, there no morale. no one wants to fight. oh we did is watch the sky for rocket launchers . and now they sent us right into it, while also telling us there was no one there. no, if he's telling the truth,

what we know is that ukrainian artillery in an apparent act of revenge for their defeat here. thank crackin is an infamous outfit. that 5 has sent shock waves around the world, after filming themselves, torturing and killing, unarmed russian prisoners. shooting them in the knees, suffocating them with plastic bags, and cutting their eyes out. all the while laughing for months they had been station didn't hide, give. we now know why they was sent away laguna,

we were sent to belle grove car because of a condo plan. they found some corpses in his back yard, who were the 7 people he killed civilians for what? for nothing, just killed them. he buried them in his yard, and you didn't think that that was savagery. it was savagery. the city of cognitive has always been viewed as a pro russian city, which is perhaps why the ukrainian government stationed one of its most brutal and sadistic battalions. there, the locals certainly made that dislike plain. where were you stationed in the city center, where we were last stationed in a church? you say last with a many bases, were kept changing that. how often, about month ago, until surveillance would publicize our location. what do you mean? i mean, publish our whereabouts online. throw telegram they would say, here is

a unit we contrast with them here. dmitri claims that he had no choice but to join . he says the territorial defense unit that he was with was merged with kracken. he says he is no say this nationalist or neo nazi. what if they decide to exchange you in a prisoner swap? i won't go back to ukraine. come again. i won't go back to ukraine. you refuse to be exchanged? i can go back there. we cannot verify whether what he told us is true. crack and fighters are well aware that russian courts are off to them. and moscow has repeatedly promised that it will bring the men involved in these inhuman torches, mutilations and killings. to justice more i'd guess div party from bella gord, lugens people's republic. china has warned it could respond with force if the

speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi follow through with her controversial plan to visit taiwan next month . wine in china has stated solemn position on this issue many times, and china firmly opposes any form of official exchanges between the u. s. in taiwan . if the u. s. side obstinately clings to this course, china will definitely take resolute, enforceable measures to firmly defended safeguard. national sovereignty and territorial integrity to the u. s. must be fully responsible for the consequences of its actions. the policy is due to travel to taiwan in august to show washington support in mid rising tensions with china. it will be the 1st visit of a u. s. house speaker to taiwan and 25 years asian considers the island as part of its national territory. while the u. s. has not recognized taiwan as an independent country, washington has shown strong backing for type pe, approving supplies of military assistance. now the island held its largest ever military drills with us support earlier this month. for its part,

beijing firmly opposes any form of official interaction between the us and taiwan, saying it will have a severe negative impact on bilateral relations between china and the us. senior fellow at the pan goal institution think tank kindled to says, washington is actually interested in a military escalation between china and taiwan. payments are me watch and he is not happy with what your rent will start. another war asia, so you know, trigger happy people. this is a frustrating, you know, a lot of people who are stand, do we need another wall? do we need another war in people unstable? in particular, south east asia, asia, that's the defense. nobody can only activity around the world. and now we are having economic activities or want the world washington is not doing enough. remember, washington,

the government has repeatedly the committee. this is why cannot principle, which means i want to bother trying to. but actually we are doing another rule with the behavior. so this is, you know, i think, you know, probably can never cross u. s. government that's simply not trustworthy. i think the chinese are to be the better prepared for the worst. and what would happen a, the content of the us publication washington says it needs to strengthen its resilience with so called friendly allies and to cut other countries out of supply chains that says, washington accuses some countries of failing to comply with us dominated world order by developing relations independently from the western agenda are rachel marston, comments. the u. s. government is acting like a jealous partner who wants to be in control and know where the other is and who they are with at all times. it's the kind of behavior that stems from deep in

security in relationships. sanctions are one instrument of control imposed through the u. s. treasury department. if a country poses a threat to washington's economic or political agenda, us sanctions and sure the other nations keep their distance from that country and had that same department treasury secretary j jaelyn is now threatening countries that break what it considers to be the international economic order in other words, the washington and western lead world order and vows to impose harsh consequences on those that abuse it. claiming that economic integration has been weaponized by russia and referring to the need to recruit and integrate us allies into its supply chains. it sounds like the classic military posture of your either with us or against us and with china and russia, but applied to global trade. working with allies and partners through french shoring is an important element of strengthening economic resilience. well sustaining the dynamism and productivity growth that comes with economic

integration. but why should any country be forced to choose a camp or clique? this isn't high school or super bowl sunday. we're everyone picks a team in a bandwagon. mature adults or countries are quite capable of entertaining. i diversity of interests. but the only diversity washington seems to want is really for itself, brazilian supply chains mean a diversity of sources of supply and eliminating to the extent we can, the possibility that jeff political arrivals will be able to manipulate us and threaten our security. this sounds like it means less diversity for other countries who engage with the u. s. and that washington is attempting to justify this control by evoking the need to protect its own security. unfortunately, for washington, the days of it calling the shots are pretty much over. biden's visit to the middle east in an attempt to ban global energy supply to washington's interests. and in frustration by his remark suggested that washington is having a difficult time adapting to the reality of its middle eastern allies. diversifying

their own interests away from washington will not want to leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia ruin. we'll seek to build on this moment with active principle, american leadership. washington no longer controls its conventional allies. now that they have other options in a multi polar world, india, for example, has refused american requests to ban russian ships from its ports. the south pacific seems more interested in dealing with its regional partner, china, even close us, ally, and next door neighbor, mexico has insisted on maintaining neutrality amid the ukraine conflict and latin america has seen a popular shift in recent elections away from us friendly establishment parties. while bolivia, cuba el salvador, nicaragua, and venezuela have refused to criticize russia over ukraine. but as they say, you can't make someone love you. and all the strong arming by the us treasury as it

feels its control slipping away, is not likely to win it too many hearts and minds. india's prime minister says his country is planning to become a major arms exporter by developing its own weaponry industry. as a so called defense echo system. currently, india largely relies on imports from other nations for its military needs. or india has been to the world's largest arms importer in recent years, accounting for about a 10th of the global market. russia is a key player in those imports, providing an estimated 60 percent of the weaponry supplied to new delhi artie contributor article examines india's new moves towards self sufficiency and defense production. this is a radical shift from the policy that india has had followed on defense since 947 since independence, the wrong store. they got in the direction of self reliance,

sales. kristen ability and complete independence spencer movie has given a very clear direction for the indian indian defense services. now he is asking them to not rely on any of the fought in reference and, and emanation, but a goal for domestic production. today, a large part of the budget earmarked for the purchase of defense equipment is being spent on procurement from indian companies. in the last 4 or 5 years, our defense imports have come down by about 21 percent. today we are moving fast from the biggest defense importer to a big exporter. benjamin b has been trying very hard to change the overall mindset within the opera see within the political leadership as well. and in the us defense services. because been consistently underlining that india can not be dependent on others. we

developed the habit of being dependent on foreign countries for even the simplest products, like drug addicts, we were addicted to the products imported from abroad. to change this mindset, we worked on mission mode after 2014, after learning from the approach of the past to create a new ecosystem of defense. clearly, branson more be nice that india has to fight on its own. india has to be less relying on strategic allies and she is moving in that direction. you're going in the direction all basically self sustainability, self reliance in almost all sexes. on the issue of you creed, india remain neutral. india did not take any sites and that was in alignment with this mindset with this thinking that we cannot be of partisan. we rebuild not budge

on our independence. liza re foreign policy. india stood by russia. these are we ukraine. india did not war against russia at the united nations. and this is part of that might said that india will maintain its strategic independence. whether it's, you know, warrant you clean, or whether it's domestic reduction, all weapons. microsoft under orders from the u. s. defense department has been depriving ukraine of digital sovereignty by controlling communication devices in the country. now this is, according to the russian deputy foreign minister, a leg sort of molig of microsoft is fulfilling the orders of the pentagon and us intelligence agencies to take full control of the entire information infrastructure of ukraine into private of any digital sovereignty. so lensky regime has provided microsoft tools for surveillance, provocations,

false flag computer attacks. apparently, the notorious id army of ukraine, which continues to boast about hacking servers in russia, is also the work of microsoft. his statement came in response to a report by microsoft on alleged russians. cyber attacks, claims that the senior diplomat said we're not based on hard evidence. he in turn accused the us tech company of encroaching on the sovereignty of other states. microsoft, however, has insisted that russia has been committing cyber warfare. russian agencies are conducting global cyber influence operations to support their war efforts. these combined tactics developed by the k g b over several decades with new digital technologies and the internet to get foreign influence operations, a broader geographic reach, higher volume, more precise targeting, and greater speed and agility. unfortunately, with sufficient planning and sophistication, these cyber influence operations are well positioned to take advantage of the long standing openness of democratic societies. we heard from journalist and author,

daniel lazar who says microsoft processing of ukraine's data is yet another example of key of delegating its responsibilities. to a foreign power i think microsoft is. ready has it's very close to the u. s. government, and sometimes is a great deal of overlap. so certainly, i think that the got the ukranian government at the b at the behest of the u. s. has allowed microsoft to take over much of the data processing. and you know that, that, that, that certainly is not a good thing. and certainly, you know, micro, the, all the ukraine has essentially, you know, handed out, you know, huge amounts of authority to, to washington. so this is just another example of the ukraine delegating the responsibilities of government to an outside power. microsoft as, as operated as a, as virtually as an armor of the u. s. government.
