the the, the our american and british counterparts really want to turn this war into re real one . it's advantages for the u. s. and the u. k. were sitting far away in an exclusive interview to our t, russia. foreign ministers target elaborate shares his take on what the u. s. and u. k. are planning for ukraine and the ear. the e u core is another 500000000 euros into clear army, despite struggling to fix its own budget. amid the economic backlash of its sanctions against russia, ukrainian to have resumed intense showing of the guns republic in a desperate attempt to reclaim the territory. the kids army recently lost to

russian lead forces. centurylink has duly elected president says that he will take action against anyone threatening him or his top officials. as mass protests persists in the south asian country, devastated by a spiraling economic price. the broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad. chevy with right now, there is no point for the west to completely break off its ties with russia, especially when it comes to the energy market. that's according to foreign ministers. second lever off. who in an exclusive interview to our channel, also underlined that moscow is not worried about the use desire to curb it's purchases of russian oil and gas. you do move the wounds it is. i don't think that it's in their interest to cut all ties with us and to use liquefied natural gas that the americans are trying to sell them. and if they do that,

then we would have no problem. the president said that due to what they do with the north stream to pipeline, we are ready to launch it. so there is pressure in the pipeline, but so far, only 50 percent of the capacity of the pipeline that we planned. so we use it now for internal consumption. well, let me 1st reiterate that russia's never wanted to cut europe from gas. they've long stated this. it's never been their intention. the issue that oliver of mentioned was, the escalation is coming from the west. they have attempted to continue to bring in countries like finland, sweden, into nato. they have continued ignoring russia's wishes, and europe is essentially cutting off it's on foot because these sanctions are hurting them in particular. and through this escalation, we're seeing tots that the west is blaming russia for all of this. when in reality, russia has never wired to escalate into a nuclear conflict. this has not been something that they are pushing for middle

school, local, our american and british counterparts with active support from germans, polish and baltic states. really want to turn this war into re real one, the one direct confrontation between russia and europe. it's advantageous for the u . s. and the u. k. who are sitting far away. it's easy for, particularly for the u. k. and the united states have really set back and allow this to happen to really try to escalate this. because europe is the one that is going to be feeling olivers 40 percent of the sanctions are actually affecting them . the most did survey lover of say anything about a cooperation between russia and countries in africa and asia? yes. so russia has been building its highs in the east. they have other markets in china, india, and now pakistan we have recently seen the deal made between russia in eden for $40000000000.00. turkey also made a deal for $30000000000.00. clearly these sanctions are not working and affecting the educated target, right, whether they're affecting b u and many countries,

of course in developing nations, including africa, africa has long been a partner of russia in terms of develop bay and, and this restructuring. and of course, they're also working with china, but the relationship that russia provide to africa is entirely different than the relationship the west wants to provide. because we have had good relations with africa since soviet times for many years now we have been restoring our presence and the africans are reciprocating. so we never taught them anything. we never force them to do anything. we always help them to resolve their tasks and to lead their countries in the way they want it. and we always had mutual visits and wanted live, rob say about the prospect of coming to a peace agreement or ending the conflict in ukraine and on loss. that is all up to the west and nato to really stop supplying weapons, especially long range missiles into ukraine. because if they continue to do that,

he has stated that they will continue increasing their cio graphical shift. in fact, one of the main points of this whole interview was the fact that russia is shifting . if geographical strategy be on the john, yes, in the loo, gone through a public. and they are going to continue to do that as long as the west continues pushing. but again, there is not the intention to escalate this conflict into something bigger or she's done quarter. and if you're isabel speaking earlier, they're now next to the you have said that it will send another $500000000.00 to ukraine to support cubes, war efforts that's according to the blocks of foreign policy chief joseph burrell. and while the u blows a hole in its budget, it also struggles with the economic backlash from its own sanctions against russia or to use ritual. marsden explains the european union supranational nanny state is always looking to keep you safe. usually, amid

a mess that they've helped to create, it certainly has the convenient effect of helping to justify the existence of big salaries of brussels officials as they rush in and pretend to put out fires that they started. and now they're patting themselves on the back for the fact that they're doing a collective purchase of weapons. it's the 1st time in the use existence that it's blown a hole in its budget of 500000000 euros. so that member nations can replace the weapons that they sent to ukraine. but at least these you countries didn't give away all of their clothes and aren't now walking around completely naked from a security and defense standpoint. right? of the shaw stroke or much other than you states have drawn on their stockpiles of light or even heavy artillery, ammunition obviously anti aircraft or anti tank defense systems or even armored vehicles in tanks. so this obviously creates a de facto vulnerability that now needs to be addressed urgently. does all mean?

well, the, you may be short on weapons right now, but at least it still has food. right? while according to a draft you document, brussels is also planning to ease its own sanctions against russian banks to alleviate shortages of food and fertilizer, from which the u hasn't been spared. back in june, washington had been discreetly encouraging american companies to buy up russian fertilizer with u. s. officials telling bloomberg that they were surprised by the extent of the caution exercised by companies amid western sanctions. meanwhile, the international monetary fund is warning this week of potentially severe consequences of the used gas sanctions on its own economy. the prospect of an unprecedented total shut off is fueling concern about gas shortages, still higher prices and economic impacts. while policymakers are moving swiftly, they lack of blueprint, manage, and minimize impact. but even the most dire assessment from this top western global financial watchdog is doing little to deter some die hard idealogues. so therefore

you have to pay, pay for the support, pay you for room and pardon aid pay other consequences of older economic sanctions . so you should stop complaining and step up and provide support to postal. full stop is exactly what the use economy and self defense prospects are going to come to. if folks like stolt and berg, don't wake up and give their head a shake. amid double digit inflation and european weapons going out the door to ukraine, faster than they can come in. western establishment leads have created military food and economic vulnerabilities in their reckless race to see who could virtue signal the best for ukraine. former german parliament member valdemar heard says, the you casts blame on russia to avoid assuming responsibility for its own problems . yemen who spoke to the same, someone has to be guilty. and that's

a deceitful thing about politics. this price inflation was set in motion long before the conflict with all the covered measures and so on. but these officials have also understood that at some point they will be called to account and then the culprit must be found and only russia fits the bill is the culprit right now? no matter who says what the mainstream media will always pass on the narrative to the people that it's all rushes fault that's just to deflect blame away from themselves. this is the old tried and tested tool of diplomacy, all of germany's industry and the prosperity of its citizens have been built for decades on low prices for russian gas doing without that now would collapse the entire system prosperity is already on the decline. we're already planning common housing, where we can put our pensioners or those who can't pay for their own flats to be heated. can you imagine what we're doing now with our own industry? and if you pray and gives army, has reportedly attacked a russian, munitions depot in the southern here. so in that region currently under the control

of russian lead forces, local media outlets have said there was a huge explosion after the strike. meanwhile, in the dawn bass, the ukrainian army has continued to shell civilian infrastructure, striking a residential area in the city of done yet sc. several apartments have completely burned as a result of that attack. we spoke with a witness of the showing what should have literally said yearly, what level? yesterday we went out, 3 of us were sitting here on the street and suddenly they started shelling. we jumped back into the entrance and looked out. there was a fire burning with thick smoke billowing out fire fighters came and began to put out the blaze. but it took them a very long time. about 3 weeks ago, apartments in this building completely burned on the 5th and 6th floors. can you imagine our lives are being ruined because of this? no one knows when this will, and it's really frightening. this is the 2nd war i'm living through here in the 2nd and in the neighboring lucon square public view. training army has so far failed in

attempts to reclaim territory recently lost to russian lead forces, as it resumes its showing of the frontline cities. moran garcia, reports on location. across the dom bus, russian arman troops criss crossed the roads leading to and from the front lines. helicopters and attack aircraft weez endlessly overhead, sometimes with a wave for the troops below. ah. with changes to tactics and objectives, the makeup of forces here is ever in flux, units are rotated, the in them to out arrest than rearmament, specialized equipment and the alba on. so the cool when and where they needed. very close. i would say to the front lines, and we've had again found that bmt terminator. what of russia's latest machines

on the front lines. we've been asked by the crew not to show where this is not a give geo location to to potential adversaries as the ukrainian side for these set or something of a hot for these vehicles in their cruise. for the purposes of propaganda, the terminator specializes in protecting tanks by suppressing anti aba capabilities and harassing enemy infantry. it has proved its worth how we find ourselves again in belgrade, africa. after a series of failed counter attacks against it. ukrainian forces have been blindly shelling the town. it has served no purpose other than angering the local population, who weren't fans of ki, of in the 1st place. but the milan, but we're still is a former, a linda is really what each school lia bottleneck got

a meeting that i thought my laundry, she can, someone will run that on his facebook window like when you have studio enough. so what says lucy casually? this particular flag, the hammer and sickle is older than most of us. it has been with valentina since the 1970s. it has become a symbol for pro russian ukrainians. not because they support who want to return of communism, but because it is their heritage. and because ukrainian nationalists despise it, that, that, that, the flock at that, at the mushroom movers, we're actually, we're actually excited. i'm saying i'm struggling here. e. i knew enough of our ancestors. i don't think you feel really valuable that he lacked craft nice, large rad. whenever i knew last the 100000000 back slower, he me, sharon, but my pin you as little as you hit aaliyah will read yet the damn thing good for

a while. valentina and tanya assistance when they have passed the flag on her russian soldiers here, who are a 3rd of their age to carry the flag onwards. valentina has worked as a school teacher for half a said treat. and she is convinced that what kia did to her community will be avenged on years. it's scott came up with young's to definitely heard of catcalls voice. if school find out a valley as measles years and well i yes, like ideally food you put out that he, he really some rattler federally. i really thought alan mercer to students with it. so thing there my, this year india get done really with the youth with really caught you to watch a few of us bringing my guest on my list. diginero calling from i see narrow rest of america on the at that moment and can you didn't you outfit for 18 years. smith,

daniel, navigate snafus adolescent just missed school or you thought him talking, living with valentino flag. he is now a bachelor of the 80th gods. tank regiment recently decorated in all it by putin himself for bravery and heroism. they have promised that this flag will fly wherever these conflict takes the more i'd gaz the of tea from the guns people's republic. john kirby, the spokesman for the white house is national security council, has claimed that russian president vladimir putin, the recent trip to iran, and showed that moscow is isolated over the conflict in ukraine. i would say 3 things about this trip. one, it shows the degree to which mr. brewton and russia are increasingly isolated. now they have to turn to iran for help to. it shows the degree to which his own defense,

industrial base is having a hard time keeping up with his unprovoked war in ukraine. and then the 3rd thing i think this indicates is the degree which he has absolutely no intention of stopping the war and sitting down in good faith and negotiated settlement with mister zalinski. the establishment western media immediately parroted and the white house is a statement saying that the trip showed iran and russia becoming closer because they essentially isolated europe. that's after us president joe biden. his own trip to the middle east was widely seen as an overall failure with no significance agreement and reached from one that we can cross live to political analyst and researcher christopher holly. now the white house has said that putting strip to iran somehow shows that moscow is isolated, so they didn't spot their needle. ally turkeys president everyone there in the

trilateral talks. what do you think about the whole situation in general? i think that this was a historic meeting and i think that the united states, of course, is lamenting that russia is alone and russia has to turn to iran. russia has had a robust relations diplomatic relations with iran since the time of really the last days of the soviet union. and i, and we see now that russia, which has been helping iran build a strong and peaceful civilian nuclear program, has now increases the overall relations with iran. they've expanded them to far more robust. now they've signed the various agreements that we've seen oil now, the rubel, she's being traded on the peer on exchange against the re out. we're seeing diplomatic overtures. we're seeing political openings. this is a huge and momentous, a time for the relations. and really,

what washington fears is, the end of us dollar had gemini and the beginning of a new world order. that's what this is. this ushers in this year is the birth year of a new world order. and that's what district means. and that's why it's so historic . now, christopher, do you think that the u. s. is quite frustrated by the strengthening ties between russia and iran in spite of their sentence? absolutely. because the point of sanctions, as john bolton indicated, just the you know, few days ago is really to james. it's a, it's a mechanism for, for coups. and what, what, you know, slowly we've been witnessing over the past decade has been sanctioned, not working at all. thanks is actually being counter productive because not only russian and iran, but also venezuela and cuba. and the dpr k have continued to develop and they've develop because of the robust relation bilateral and multilateral relation with other countries. not only suffering under sanction,

but other countries where it again, you know, the math, the world, the bank, and really, us and nato, he gemini, worldwide, that they've been bullied for the past few decades. and they've been, you know, saying it nobody's been listening. and now as they begin to forge a new world, everybody is crying and panicking. but they've been saying it, we remember put these words in your neck. we remember all of these various international conferences. that's what's been happening. so this is the birth of a new world order, and i'm very happy to see it actually. now the last time we talked, it was on the heels of biden's trip to saudi arabia. now, do you think this demeaning rhetoric about russia as parroted by the western establishment media is maybe an attempt to turn attention away from biden's failures in the middle eastern region? absolutely, it's always, it's always this. you know, diversion tactic of the media. not only is failure in the middle east, but overall, his declining mental health and standing in the world of this special military operation by,

by russia has revealed the complete and utter bankruptcy of the west and the ramp and hatred. not only of russia, but also of china, of the run of any country that seeks to challenge their hid. gemini, they're going to go after them with everything they've got. be it media, military coup d'etat does anything they can possibly do. they have the alphabet suited soup of national or the agencies to do that. so i think that the absolutely, this is a distraction. but you see, whereas bite in went to the middle east and achieve nothing put has gone to turn around and achieve quite a bit already. and it is, it is very much historic and that's why analysts are panicking because things are happening now that cannot be undone. well, about that you mentioned putting the visit to iran, saying that it is successful. what do you think about his calls for the u. s. to pull his troops out of syria and stop stealing quote, syrian oil. it's absolutely true. right now. the city and democratic force is in the north east in an area that the current scholars over the u. s. and the

coalition against isis have been there and there, occupying the territory. remember, president for president from tweet that were there for the oil, we're going to secure the oil. we're going to take the oil. this is oil, that they are not allowing the legitimate government in damascus. the legitimate government are recognized by the united nation to have this is their oil. this is a theory and oil. and so you see it's 20, it's the 21st century. you know, pirate barbarism really. you know, they're out there. they're taking the oil, they're carving up the country, they're bulk. and i think it like they did with yugoslavia and other places around the world. and so absolutely, president putin is correct. and of course, president putin is an ally of president assad and legitimate syrian government. and this is what allies do for each other. they come to each other's aid. and he's saying is along with the iran that it's not allowable anymore, that the u. s. and they both mentioned to president are doing as well that they wouldn't really tolerate. another special operation on his side into the north of

syria. they want to protect syrian sovereignty and territorial integrity. and that is critical. and that's what the west doesn't was inferior. political analyst and researcher christopher holly, it's always a pleasure to hear your thoughts. good conversation, appreciate it. thank you very much for having me. i appreciate it. ah, free like a new president appointed in a secret ballot conducted by parliament has vowed to take action. if anyone attempts to overthrow his government as mass protests continue to rock the crisis stricken country, he says he'll deal with any attempted to makers firmly and in accordance with the law. i have created that you can order in parliament call, but it will resolve the problems. are these country or doors you'll seek to describe protecting democracy? they must then be dealt with the law. might the law meanwhile, widespread protests persisted in the impoverish south asian country. devastated by

spiraling economic crisis has masses of people gathered in front of the presidential office to express their outrage at the former prime minister, who has now been appointed as the head of state calling for him to resign. archie correspondent runjun sharma, reports on location. ready oh, a i now the big question about the b o c long got accept him. a simple answer is no wonder when we started, when we were all part of it. i didn't started hundreds and thousands of few long guns collectively said enough is enough. so i think it has a we believe that i know ron in the somebody who was seen as an ally of the roger buckshot. but remember when google by roger fuck shot fled the country he made rondon as an

acting president of the country, is also the prime minister, the palmer dynamics. now once again with the roger buckshot, this is something that is going to anger. the protest does. they don't have any faith in the raja buckshot is what the project to see in the days to come. the protest on the ground could amplified mostly longer all ready is grappling to shortage of fuel shortage of 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. the race to replace found going british prime minister born johnson has boiled down to only 2 candidates now buying for leadership of the ruling. conservative party or a recent poll shows about majority support within the party for foreign secretary list trust, who campaigned on promises to revive the economy while another 3rd would prefer

former finance minister re, she's sure not well known for developing economic rescue measures to cope with the covered crisis, i was like, everybody here has to be built b, m 25, all the channels. but boy johnson has agreed to hand over leadership of the party and the country. as soon as his successor is elected. he is stepping down over a series of scandals including party gates and the appointment of an ally to the senior post despite sexual harassment allegations. john's johnson has also come under fire over rising taxes in price inflation in the u. k. previously, a number of high profile ministers also stepped down and called on johnson to do the same in a farewell speech to the british parliament. johnson urge them to continue to support ukraine and maintain close ties with the u. s. i want to, you know, i want to use the last few 2nd business,

the good to give some words of advice to my success or whoever he or she may be. number one, they take the american stick up for the ukrainians, speak up of freedom and democracy everywhere, tax season deregulate wherever you can to make this the greatest place to live and invest, which it is. we heard from morning star newspaper editor, steve sweeney, who says that regardless of whoever becomes the next prime minister, little is going to change in the u. k. is going to be a continuity johnson. both the candidates were senior figures within, within the government, which you soon like. of course now is leading a charge, campaigning against a policies economic policies that he introduced as chancellor. he's now coding for lower taxes as is as business trust. so really what we're seeing is more of the same and in fact we have at the moment is a zone be government where the prime minister is going to be selected from

a very small group of people 1st the to we and piece. and then it's now going to be for our to something like a $160000.00 members. so, you know, we have to remember that this is a government that has been in power for a long time. now we've had decades about 70 rising inflation. people really starting to feel the pinch in the white packets, energy prices, and rising. the cost of living is rising. and whichever the 2 becomes prime minister, they're going to have to deal with a summer of discontent. from our to i'm the director in the gallery and the entire team there and myself. john thomas, we're glad to have you with us. this is our international coming up. we have a special exclusive interview from foreign minister check a lab roughly with

ah ah ah ah ah, ah speak digital video. good afternoon, mr. laugher. off you've just returned from winery of visits and now you're flying away on a chip again. we have such an international isolation that you don't even have time to be at home. thank you for taking the time to meet with us. between trips it

seems were of 2 minds when it comes to negotiating with ukraine. first we say it's outright impossible and the next we bring up the idea is something positive. when i say we, i mean our leadership on all levels from lawmakers to state officials. so our viewers and myself to keep asking ourselves, is there any point in talking to key of or is it just part of the diplomatic decorum malicious thoughts? nichols was looked at this point. there is no point in negotiating with ukraine. ukrainian leadership actually came forward calling on russia to start negotiations . we went with it back then. we were very earnest about the entire process. but these 1st rounds of talks and belarus only served to expose ukraine's reluctance to approach any matters seriously. back then, we presented to them our segment of the situation and said, if you're serious about it, then write your arguments down on paper. give us a proper document. so we knew what kind of deal you are for valuable. they gave us

the document, which we supported by the way the president mentioned it when we were ready to sign an agreement that would be in line with their own lodging. we presented to them our own documents, which was let me stress that again for based on their guidelines. on april 15th, they received our proposal, but we have not heard from them since we are hearing though, is the argument repeated by all of sholtes wars. johnson, well, probably won't be hearing any more about that for mr. johnson, but also were sort of underlying and many others, including the use chief diplomat, joseph burrell, all saying that ukraine must win on the battlefield, saying that t f should not negotiate with moscow. with this point, as its positions on the ground are still too weak, ukraine must 1st gain the upper hand started beating the russian armed forces and the.
