just catching up with you and most with and india is set to elect its 1st tribal leader woman as president with a final vote count nearing a just after 7 pm here in the russian capital and you're watching our international, i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. and while some european officials continue to blame russia for their issues at home, the hungriest foreign minister has come to moscow to secure a new deal to buy russian gas. and he says it's impossible to find alternative sources of fuel for this coming winter. all sorts of moral sodden muscle, whether we like it or not, and whether we want it or not. now it is impossible to purchase an additional

700000000 cubic meters of gas without russian energy sources. we can dreams, we can blow balloons, but reality remains reality at home with the written here in the russian capital came the same day. europe approving you, package of economic sanctions against russia this time and if your resources were not affected with previous restrictions already led to real energy prices in europe . that is dramatically dependent on reduce energy supplies. hungary is called, the diplomat said that europe can dream, but it will not be able to survive winter without griffin voting. also, people will buy additional electric, very simply with a 1000000 flu, bigger litters of gas. without moscow, he said that only 13 percent of what's needed is now pumped in storage is in europe, the number is almost twice as bigger for hungary, but still it is far from enough to guarantee energy security, which is alarming. given that the winter is coming in
12:03 pm
a so lover of said the brussels anti russia rhetoric is to blame for european sufferings. donation was we to the further development of our cooperation is of course, prevented by the outright. russell folded policy pursued by washington in brussels, forming this means and unrestrained build up of sanctions without a sound analysis of their consequences for the very countries imposing them. if there is a struggle within european bureaucracy which wants to subjugate everything and everyone, including national governments and wants to dictate conditions and stifle any descent. and ukraine was another topic on the agenda, and the hungarian foreign minister said that war is bad and that budapest wishes and one's peace for its neighbor ukraine as soon as possible. and he pulled on everybody to do everything that is possible to promote peace talks and cease fire to make these bloodshed. and as soon as possible, mister reminded that the crisis didn't stop. and he talked about, he, pa, chrissy from european side that turned
12:04 pm
a blind eye to bloody who did. todd had happened in p of back in 2014, but is in hysteria right now. there's hysteria over the fact that in ukraine, all conceivable norms of international and humanitarian law are being violated and that people are dying. and it's true that people are dying. but we need to face the truth and not brush aside the facts that tell us that people are dying from indiscriminate shelling by the armed forces and nationalist battalions of ukraine of peaceful areas of don bass and other areas. minister oliver off also said that moscow hopes that russia's western partners will understand soon, that it is very dangerous and very counterproductive to feel ukraine up. we more than weapons and this should be stop so that the blood should ends in ukraine. the us treasury department has called on western countries to agree on a limit for prices of russian oil imports by the end of the year. our goal is to
12:05 pm
make sure that is that insurance band is going into place. we're in a position where there is a price cap that helps to drive down global energy prices and also allows russian energy to flow into the marketplace. however, moscow has responded by saying it will not sell its oil on the global market unless it can turn a profit if these price is being discussed or lower than the production costs, russia will not insure the supply of this oil to the world market. we will not work at a loss. this comes with russia, reopening the north stream, one gas pipeline to germany after completing a scheduled 10 day maintenance, which was agreed to in advance, but still sparked fears of additional shortages in europe. so far, the north stream one pipeline has been filled to 40 percent capacity. the pipeline is vital for germany's economy accounting for a lion's share of the country's energy imports. to prepare for the coming winter, the aims to fill up its gas storage silos. but most countries say they're still far
12:06 pm
from that goal. germany's gas reserves are now said to be at 65 percent of what's needed. at the same time, greece has become the 3rd e u country after spain and portugal to turn down an offer by the european commission to cut gas consumption by 15 percent talks among european leaders shows that the e u is facing having to reduce gas and electricity usage, amid massive price hikes and the rise of unemployment due to risks to the energy and industrial sectors. economist and political commentator icon hammer says, western leaders have aggravated the situation by spreading fake news about russia's energy policy. the problem is lying in the politicians and that personal ties to international networks and bay forbid them to put not string to into into operations the german population, the, the honorary man on the street, the middle, then deli,
12:07 pm
need the knots me to pipeline and they wouldn't have any problems about running this, but the have personal ties and this is why they are risking the future of the germany economy, the future of the john meadows that and the future of our wealth, just because we don't know to, to blame russia using gas as a where the weapon is faking use, like most of these things that are mentioned nowadays, and it is no secret that before anything should start the biden. and the obama already promised that they don't want germany and russia to work together. and this is one of the main strategies. so what they are blaming that russia is taking gas and oil as a weapon. it's just a hoax. they are taking oil and gas as a weapon, as they always did. italian prime minister mario druggie has resigned. have
12:08 pm
to the countries ruling coalition, government fell apart over a key vote. the political crisis in rome has stoked further fears of instability across europe, as ortiz, rachel marston reports johnny has one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel since last week. when he 1st offered to resign over his crumbling coalition with left and right leading populous parties, italian president sergio much out ala initially refused drive his resignation. but this time it looks likely. so what brought him down? ultimately the populace left fivestar movement, druggies largest coalition partner, objected to the government's decision to send weapons to crane particularity, while economic concerns at home took a back seat. they abstained from the confidence vote along with the former prime minister silvio berlusconi center right populist for as a tale, a party, an former deputy prime minister mateo sal vinnie's populous right. lega party.
12:09 pm
italians are upset that the government has spent its time fiddling while rome burns so to speak. humans without me, i mean them again. i didn't expect this. it's a big surprise for everyone. this change leaves you, sol stumbled. i think italians will now vote less enthusiastically. there will be few people at the ponies and less facing government institutions. they are all responsible. we are coming to a disaster. i don't know the consequences for italians. i am wary because it is not the best development for us at the moment. unfortunately, we do not have competent people who govern us, but we would have preferred drago to remain with this governmental way apart from dragged his name. it is necessary to have a strong government because it is a critical moment for our economy and europe's economy study. so we're hearing echoes there of the same frustration of citizens in france, britain and germany for whom life has only become more expensive and difficult as a result of their ukraine policies, particularly their sanctions. on inexpensive russian supplied european energy,
12:10 pm
which are proving costly for the average citizen in their daily life, just to day for example, european central bank announced an interest rate increase for the 1st time in 11 years of point 5 per and is points. there seems to be a confidence among populist right leaning parties in italy that they have a decent shot at power and scoring an electoral win on the rebound after drugs unforced errors. there's certainly a populace when that's building across europe and sweeping aside longstanding establishment figures, and rather the knowledge that they've fallen out of step with what the average citizen wants of them. that is to focus on domestic problems and prioritize the interests of their own citizens. first and foremost, and correct course, some still think that it's all russian present virus prudence fault that populace with a more non interventionist and more cooperative foreign policy approach are gaining
12:11 pm
momentum. this guy, mateo sal vini has just contributed to bringing down the drug government in italy, and now hopes that a new election will bring him to power. corks are popping in the kremlin. the russia for a ministry place the italian political drama in context to day, as strictly domestic one. russia has always adhered to the principle of non interference in the affairs of sovereign states. we would advise european politicians to look for the causes of their internal crises in their own mistakes and unprofessionalism. it's hard to see how the western establishments approach it . blaming putin for western leaders, inability to focus on doing the work required a home to fix pressing domestic problems while digging their countries into an economic whole over ukraine is going to win them the hearts and minds of their own people. and ukraine cubes. army has reportedly attacked munitions depot in the southern course on region currently under the control of russian lead forces. local media outlets have said there was
12:12 pm
a huge explosion after the strike in while and on boss ukrainian army has stepped up. it's shelling of civilian infrastructure, striking a residential area in the city of bunyan. several apartments have completely burned down as a result of the attack and we spoke with one witness of the shown you know, vision to give you a little the, yesterday we went out you 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 flores. i'm not sure. 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 it with. and in the neighboring logan's people's republic, the ukrainian army has so far failed in attempts to reclaim territory recently
12:13 pm
taken by russian. how russian led forces g of troops have now resorted to a fresh round of shelling, hitting some civilian areas, as ortiz, moran gasdio reports. across the dom bus, russian arman troops criss cross, the roads leading to and from the front lines. helicopters and attack air craft we've 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 in them to out arrest than rearmament specialized equipment and the alba on. so the cool when and where they're 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
12:14 pm
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 out something of a hub for these vehicles in their cruise. for the purposes of propaganda, the terminator specializes in protecting tanks by suppressing anti arma capabilities and harassing enemy infantry. it has proved its worth. have 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 a linda. is really what each go clear back armina.
12:15 pm
i thought my laundry, she can someone, well, i mean that on his facebook window like when you have studio enough. so what says lucy casually hate 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 because ukrainian nationalists despise it. that, that, that the flock at that, at the mushroom la movers were not unique. we're actually excited. i'm saying i'm struggling here. e, i need enough that answers, i don't think you feel really valuable, that his last name for large, ravenel, if you're on your last bill and i believe that sure he me, sharon but, but he knew as little italy will read. yes, the damn thing. good for a while,
12:16 pm
valentina and tanya assistance when they have passed these 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 tree, and she is convinced that what keys did to her community will be avenged on years yet. there, it's scott came up with young's to definitely have tactical boards. if school under wiley was measles years with well, yes, luck ideally, fluids you put out any, any, some rattler federally. i really thought i was on most of the students with india to done really with the youth of with nearly caught you to watch a few of us bring you might get some i didn't out. okay. so my scenario rest of
12:17 pm
them, you're only at that moment and can you, did you want to play for 18 years? smith, daniel, navigate snafus adolescent just missed school or you sat him talking him living with valentine, this flag is now a bother of the 80th gods. tank regiment recently decorated ordered by putin himself for bravery and heroism. they have promised that these flag will fly wherever these conflict takes them. more i'd gasdio ot from the la guns people's republic us speaker of the house, nancy pelosi planned trip to taiwan is now up in the air after joe biden said, the pentagon does not support seeing a top u. s. official go to taipei. i think that the military thinks it's not a good idea right now, but i don't know what the status of it is. earlier the announcement of policies visit for august was followed by a harsh reaction from china as beijing warned it will take forceful measures if the
12:18 pm
u. s. house speaker follows through with her plans. it would be the 1st visit of such an american official to taiwan in 25 years. this comes just days after china lashed out at the united states after an american naval destroyer was spotted in the disputed taiwan strait. u. s. navy claims the war ship acted in accordance with international law. adding that the trip demonstrates commitment to a free and open endo pacific. beijing doesn't agree and says that the move is only rising, the risk of confrontation. the frequent provocations and showing off by the u. s. fully demonstrate that the u. s. is the destroyer of peace and stability in the taiwan strait and a maker of security risks in the taiwan strait. us trying attentions are on the rise, made conflicting messages over taiwan coming from washington. beijing still considers the island part of its territory, while the u. s. has not recognized taiwan as an independent country,
12:19 pm
washington has shown strong backing for ty pay earlier this week. the state department defended its decision to approve a potential arm sale to taiwan worth over $100000000.00 after trying and demanded that the u. s. cancel that deal, but to get more on this, we're gonna cross live now to our expert guests professor at the power school of technology and business. benjamin child, thanks a lot for joining us on the program professor. the 1st thing i want to ask is about the fact that u. s. president joe biden said, according to military sources, it's not a good idea for nancy pelosi to travel to taiwan. what do you make about those statements? the current us administration isn't united behind policies visit some have already express concerns about the consequences. her current isn't my ensure and that's why he has not been confirmed until now and,
12:20 pm
and harvested. it's quite different from previous and us delegation to tie one because the policies, the speaker of the house, 2nd in line to see to us 1st of the white vice president as the top the problem. democracy in congress are close the try so much of the current us initiations, legislative agenda, and as a close ally off of preston biden. her actions carry enormous wage, if not representing us as policies. so china is living, is that elusive research to buy this despite china's shop obstruction to it? but it is being interpreted, i think, by the communist party of china as the us brick in the one china principal. and that we review as a clear and open endorsement of tie ones, independence, and then separate his forces into region. so chinese defense minister, very clear that china's military would crush and schemes for high ones,
12:21 pm
independence or something that's a bit confusing here. is that the u. s military is sending its warships through disputed territory, disputed waters near taiwan. how is that a good idea when polo sees visit is not you know, d, u s. has always send mixed messages regarding some with any type of problems . and if you look at the rationale behind all these exposure from the, the domestic politics in the us, you see that biden is right now, facing, skyrocketing high inflation and rec, could ripping low approval rate at this point in his presidency. not looking good for his upcoming return election and loosen to return election would mean the death of the legislative agenda and bruce post, steve would lose her speakership. so plain tough on china is
12:22 pm
a car to settle american domestic political conflict. so the have an incentive to say next, and i think it's to, to china. what do you think these mixed messages are going to backfire on washington in any way? for sure, it is a very risky and i don't think most of the time people want to close to lisa taiwan . they have seen the consequence of ukraine playing the fire in which i did to pick nations and china. and well, congress dragging the world to largest economies into military conflict again. well, china's warned that it's going to take forceful measures if pelosi does come to taiwan. what kind of moves do you think we can expect from beijing in that case? although the opportunity to properly used to be very small. but if really
12:23 pm
the white and the stations ignore the one china principal. there was no doubt that china, we were put you through to his own core interests. all the military preparation work have already been in place for many, many years. there was no match. and i do think us, we'll take high one as it has as we have seen with attrition in ukraine. the years had never sent troops to, to ukraine. and we only see that ukraine, you know, the taiwan people are seeing that ukraine is struggling a lot. although the, the west has sent weapons, but he's really ukrainians fighting against russia. you see, so that them,
12:24 pm
you know, huge council team in taiwan. there was a conference, so that's what i want. china, they don't want this conflict as great. all right, benjamin child, professor at the paris school of technology and business. thanks a lot for joining us in the program. now in other news, a former school teacher has crossed the halfway mark towards becoming india's new president, after steaming ahead in this week's election, r t contributor r t. t qu, reports from new delhi drop would be more and more is going to be the 15th president of india. besides being a school teacher, she is also a tribal leader, and therefore she is going to be the 1st tribal leader to view the highest office that is president's office in india. well, apart from that, the fact is that dr. bull's community is actually 10 percent off of population in
12:25 pm
india, that is a down all well 100000000 people. and this population is scattered across the country at tribal communities also are one of the most backward communities in terms of the growth and development. however, that mr. movies government has made it abundantly clear that they are going to follow dr. booth and follow them in which is something that his precincts used to say that b, b, j, b, and drums are more. these government is because of andrew aggressive. but clearly the fact that group drop would be normal is going to be the president of india in the next couple of ours when the counting is over. 2 she's already, as you rightly said, she has drawn the 50 percent mark of the working. and it is clear that india is
12:26 pm
headed towards the progressive path as far as the min empowerment and under privileged communities. like tribals are the central african republic has become the 1st country in the region to adopt crypto as an official currency and a bid to gain financial independence. impenetrable bureaucracy keeps us stuck in systems that don't give us the ability to perform. the solution was to rethink our economic philosophy. the country has unveiled its national digital currency called the sango coin. it allows investors to chip into the nation's economy via the crypto block chain. this project even offers foreign investors to buy citizenship in the country for $60000.00 worth of crypto plus the crypto currency also opens up land sales with 250 square meters selling for 10000 dollars. to get more on the story, we're going across live now to broadcast journalist winston tacky. thanks
12:27 pm
a lot for joining us on the program. winston. so the central african republic has become one of the 1st countries to embrace crypto as a national currency. what do you make of that? for me, i think it's a commendable initiative in both steps to take an economy because look in on a car and stage of africa when you talked about digital literacy, it has very little talk about financial inclusivity. it is also very low for central africa reporting to take this initiative as a full we'll have to look at what are the help in place right? resources, infrastructure that will facilitate the process of ensuring a treaty. treat in encrypted currency is easily accessible around as of now they don't how much of a stable each and it's in most part of the country and you have access to smartphone and you know, crypto currency today. mostly it happens in
12:28 pm
a lot of smartphones and not many people who are currently being educated on how the crypto market breaks. so i think of is a bull step, but i didn't need more policy direction and also regulation regards to what's and kill. so what company bought, wait a crypto currency in the country. all right, winston tacky broadcast journalist, thanks for joining us on the program. so that's all for this. our sticker on for more news in just about 30 minutes. the. the news skate digital redeem. good afternoon, mister laugher, off you've just returned from want to revisit and now you're flying away on
12:29 pm
a trip. 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 that's nicholson 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 bell roosters only served to expose ukraine's reluctance to approach any matter seriously. back then we presented to them our assessment of the situation and said,
12:30 pm
if you're serious about it, then write your arguments down on paper and give us a proper document. so we knew what kind of deal you are looking for a variable. 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 logic. 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 from 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.
