i with russia, iran and nato member turkey issue, a joint statement, calling on washington to withdraw the u. s. troops from syria and stopped feeling oil from that war torn middle eastern country. the u. s. and u. k. push to escalate of ukraine conflict in order to drag europe into a direct war with russia. that's a message from russian minister foreign minister. so i get a lot of in his latest exclusive interview with our team. for long as 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

with and are terry cru report location in the regards to republic, committee ukrainian showing as key as forces launched and offensive to retake territory there with broadcasting live, to read from our studios in moscow. this is our international and i'm john thomas is certainly glad to have you with us. russian president vladimir putin has held talks with his iranian and turkish counterparts. and to ron, as part of the office 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 r t correspondent, elite tango report well, this constant blame game that has to do with the russian gas exports has been going on for months and months. eve ball 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 terror on latimer poot and try to silence the critics with what he called facts from a to z. there are several roofs that enabled the flawed 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 between different what's his gas prone have to do with this? the close one pipeline for scheduled maintenance. the other pipeline was closed because of sanctions gas promise 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 filled 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 into iran, 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 health 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 rushing side wants to see is a fair approach, which means no sanctions on russian grain and fertilizer exports well with coded

ukraine and the energy crisis. the syrian conflict has taken somewhat of a back seat. well here into iran. the leaders of the 3 countries reminded that 4 years ago, russia, it ran and turkey created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting as different side 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 arabian capital is that the level of trust between terran 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 to ron phillip isadine, who says the level of cooperation between russia and iran will only increase russia and major oil and gas producers. their neighbors, they have had history on the relation president was in russia just before they thought that the conflict ukraine resisting less than is a lot of both country. and i think that leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and government including, especially the united states, it's going to pressure that. so it makes sense for neighbors to be analyzed and

increase cooperation. as you know, you know, and russia signed the $40000000000.00 and gas corporation agreement today and discussed in the meetings in the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be living situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people of countries. russian foreign minister survey leverage has slammed the u. s. and the u. k, saying those countries have been intentionally escalating the ukraine conflict in an attempt to push europe into a direct confrontation with russia. he made those comments in an exclusive interview with archie a how were american counterparts? because british counterparts, well, anglo saxon think with actor support from germans and polish sion baltic states. the really want to turn this were into real war and to started confrontation

between russian european states, which vent advantages, fords you ask for the u. k, they are sitting behind the ocean. let's discuss the details with our 2 correspondent fiorella isabel in moscow. parallel or what were the main issues discussed during the interview? yes, so the main points of this interview were absolutely the fact that the geographical and strategic objectives of this conflict have changed. they're going to move past the don yeske and lou ganske regions. and also if the united states, nato, and the e u, continue supplying more and more weapons and continue backing ukraine. the geographical objectives will continue to expand and share. one last point that i think was extremely important was that la rob love rav confirmed,

that the notion of using nuclear weapons was not something that was on the table that russia hasn't changed. it stands from that. however, there is a specific doctor in and protocol to follow if that is the case, but that is definitely not something that either a moscow is pushing in any way, shape or form the willing to do so. i don't think that it's in their interest to stop all ties. we bows to cut off all the times without saying to years liquefied natural gas that americans were trying to sell them. they do that, then we would have no problem. the prices and sand that due to what they do with north strain to we are ready to launch it. so there is pressure in the pipeline,

but 50 percent of the capacity of the volume on the pipeline that were planned. so we've now used them for internal consumption inside the country wells. so want to develop chemical industry and do gather fi good. all right, so i, he, he was talking about the nord are sworn pipeline, right? the north stream pipeline. and that pipeline has been wides, for instance, the lens he has been saying was upset about it because the they feel like it's a betrayal against ukraine for eating restrictions on the sanctions. however, allow for, i've just said that they're not against continuing to have this pipeline being used . they're absolutely ready to, to continue to do this as, as the, the west is choice to continue. these sanctions and russia is ready to work with them in order for the economic restrictions on the west that are beam

blames that are being blamed on russia to diminish. and so that, that's a very important aspect of all that you corresponded fiorella isabel, therefore assisting across the situation. we know that as we learn more about this interview that you'll be back in and fill us in a little bit more. all right, appreciate that. and i wish you luck as acting leader has won that the presidential election conducted in a secret ballot by parliament as mass protest persist in the south asian country, torn apart by a spiraling economic crisis party correspondent runjun shot about reports on location wanting inside the sri lankan parliament has concluded, i'm drawn in with chroma, sing gay has got the numbers. he's elected as the new president of the country. this comes off to weeks and months so fraught as stop on the ground against goeth about roger buckshot as well as john and a bit from a thing gay now run into somebody who's seen as an ally of the raja buck shaws.

remember when goes by a roger fuck shot fled the country he made rondon as an acting president of the country is also the prime minister, the bomber dynamics. now once again with the raja buckshot, this is some pain that is going to anger. the protest does they don't have any faith in the raja buckshot. that is what the project to see in the days to come the protests on the ground good. amplify men mostly long, got ready is grappling tool shortage of fuel shortage of follow, shortage of food as well as medicines. and now there was a new problem at hand, which is a humanitarian and no one on the crisis which only seems to be intensifying in the country. that the former prime minister won the election. protesters again took to the streets, gathering outside the presidential office. they had a harsh words for the senior officials who chose to appoint him at this moment, we are not happy at all because he came to the parliament without any will be. he

came from the back door to the parliament and he came and picked up the larger boxes. now again, he's the out to protect that. i get boxes because we say should be lunk. obviously if you don't have dollars to get a will, we don't have dollars to get gas to parliament is have failed ups that failed us because they have not to listen to the people use the march paper less hugley they contact for their contact is in they don't i guess they don't have the so they don't have it for a day before the election. hundreds of protesters to the same location where they burned and g of the then interim leader who has now won the election, they demanded that he resign, describing him as an enduring symbol of a government tarnished by entrenched to corruption. switching gears now, 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 stops me or in 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 be not enough to relieve the humanitarian crisis in africa. artes are 2 buttons, 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. she leads 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 trap 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. busy specifically, which is an samantha powers cross hairs china and now it's a new program for countries affected by major drought and a horn of africa in march. and beijing ramped up as a to south africa and the phase of devastating floods in april. this all comes as 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 washington has earned his title is the largest export of arms in the world, and china is not even close. so may have the power says the you should also be recognized for writing the most humanitarian aid. the united states has long been the leader in responding to mandatory and 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 a 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 kabul so all samantha power claims china isn't doing enough to help and refuses to admit how much the u. s. has done to fuel the current problems in the 1st place. the mainstream media continues to claim that when beijing does something, it must be some sort of a trap. as if the u. s. 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 yet city of go to of car on wednesday morning. not he sort of coastal of reports on the kitchen. we are in a city of girl of go had the moments ukrainian artillery struck this residential area just after 6 o'clock in the morning as a result, 54 year old man. his name is alexander, was killed instantly. his son,

mac are 10 years old, received shrapnel wounds to the his body to the head and he is currently being treated at a hospice. all doctors are doing everything they can in order for him to survive. meanwhile, shelling of girl of good continues and continues mainly in residential areas. a proposal goes through to susan the floor. they deliberately shelled the village. there were no troops or military facilities here. well, they purposefully targeted the village though they are shooting everywhere. vast areas, one neighbourhood after another. today it was ours, so they are firing with grad rocket launchers, intense bombardment, although there are craters in practically every neighbourhood there. now shelling very often. half a year ago, there weren't doing this. it seems they now want to bring more harm to the civilian population. this something an artillery shell fell here this morning, or a gift from ukraine, as always, they are the ones who always expressed so much admiration and congratulations to us

. it was that they wanted us to come back to them. why the hell would they want us back? i have no words to describe this. 36 people had been killed by ukrainian artillery shelly here in gore left. cuz since this thought of this special military operation, at least $180.00 had been wounded among them are many children now everywhere. and girl, of course, you can witness scenes like this. rockets on the roads, rockets inside the houses hands a scene like this is, are something the locals have been used to for the last 8 years. another danielle cassidy. yes. nova has also been shelled by the ukranian army with civilians, homes destroyed in the attack. local officials claim around $1700.00 buildings have been destroyed in the republic since of february and in the neighboring lugens

republic, the ukrainian army has launched a new offensive to retake territory after russian led forces recently claimed they have full control over the entire republic ninety's. but august reports from the gruff on the outskirts of delegate. of course we witnessed a somewhat rare spectacle and attempted offensive by ukrainian forces. ah i am yes of the time that you found movie gab supported the food. again, on the white glove, the ukrainian troops here belonged to the infamous nationalist cracking battalion. their intent was to get close to bill a god of k, through the woods near by. they were met with a hail of artillery fire the pacific on after that,

we were ordered to retreat. every one ran away, we kept shouting, don't shoot the soldiers who were behind us for the work. dmitri was wounded by shrapnel. he was left behind by his panicked brothers in arms. in all 4 kracken fighters were captured alive. one of them, an officer. or how did commanders treat the troops? i don't know, like both worms just crushed them under foot and kept walking with how his morale in your units in crackin. no, no, there no morale. no one wants to fight in all with. it is watched the sky for rocket launchers. she couldn't, 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 the parents act of revenge for their defeat here.

with crackin is an infamous outfit. that 5 has sent shock waves around the world are to 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 cove. we now know why they was sent away villa. gwyn, if we were sent to belle grove because of a complicated they found some corpses in his back yard, who with the 7 people he killed civilians. so 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 high to give, has always been viewed as a pro russian city, which is perhaps why the ukrainian government stationed one of its most brutal and said the stick battalions. their locals certainly made that the slike plane, the where were you stationed in the city center where we were last station in a church? you say last with our many bases were kept changing them. how often about month ago until surveillance would publicize our location. what do you mean since i mean, publish our whereabouts online? throw telegram they would say, here is a unit we conference 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 prison, a swap? i won't go back to ukraine. come again. i won't go back to ukraine, you refused to be exchanged. i can go back there. we cannot verify whether what he told us is true. crackin fight is all well aware that russian court saw off to them . and moscow has repeatedly promised that it will bring the men involved these inhuman torches, mutilations and killings. to justice more, i'd guess, d a r t rebel gorenca lugens people's republic. china has warned it could respond with force if the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi follows through with her controversial plan to visit taiwan next month to line the china has stated it's solemn position on this issue. many times in

china firmly opposes any form of official exchanges between the u. s. and i wonder if the u. s. side obstinately claim was to this course. china will definitely take resolute, enforceable measures to firmly defended safeguard, national sovereignty and territorial integrity. the u. s. must be fully responsible for the consequences of its actions. you'll mabel policy is due to travel to taiwan in august to show washington support a mid rising tensions with china. it will be the 1st visit of a u. s. house, a 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 ty pay approving supplies of military assistance. 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 u. s. and taiwan, saying it will have a severe negative impact on bilateral relations between china and the us. a senior

fellow at the pan goal institution think tank kindle. she says, washington is actually interested in a military escalation between china and taiwan. being to me was not happy with the what was your grant that we'll start another war asia. so, you know, trigger having people, this is a frustrating lot of people who are stand it, do we need another wall? do we need another war in people unstable south east asia, asia that's essential, but he can only activity around the world. and now we are having a phenomena. are one of the world, washington, not a not remember washington, the government repeatedly, the, maybe the wine cannot bring with me and i want to bother trying to bug actually doing another quality of behavior. so this is another thing probably can

never cross us government that's simply not trustworthy. i think the chinese are to be the better careful the worst. and what would happen a like with all of the us or that doesn't for me this, our, my colleague don quarter will be here in about, let's say 32 minutes time with another full and freshly new stay with us or national news. oh when i was shopping wrong, when i just don't hold any world to shave out disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,

we choose to look for common ground. for only one main thing is important for knox. ism internationally speaking, that is that nations, but that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the minor nation. so the slave americans, proc obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy. so some golf out of it, on your own english v i n b, i not leashed off to exhibit in tablet loc. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason us had germany is so dangerous,

is it deny the sovereignty of all the countries? the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, what is bad shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions? or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion with ah.
