[000:00:00;00] a with hungry, foreign minister says budapest wants to buy additional russian gas and cannot get through the coming winter without those import the struggles with the backlash of its own economic sanctions. europe sinks deeper into political and economic uncertainty. that's after italy's prime minister steps down and his coalition government collects with starkey reports from the little guns people's republic where the ukrainian or army has resumed shelling civilians after failing to retake territory from brushing by force. we hear from some of the

local caught in the fire with most of the students with just after 8 pm here in moscow, and you're watching our 2 international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program . now while some european officials continue to blame, russia for their issues at home hungry is 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 little so side bull, sad muzzle 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 dream, we can blow balloons,

but reality remains reality. the reason 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 crises in europe, that is dramatically dependent on russia's energy supplies, hungary, top diplomat said, the europe can dream, but it will not be able to survive winter without russia. it will not be able to buy additional unnecessary, 700000000 cubic meters 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 a so lover of said the brussels empty russia rhetoric is to blame for europeans,

suffering. the nation. what is the 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 in everyone, including national governments and wants to dictate conditions and stifle any dissent. 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 neighbour ukraine as soon as possible. and he called on everybody to do everything that is possible to promote peace talks and cease fire to make this bloodshed. and as soon as possible, mister oliver reminded that the crisis didn't start this february. and he talked about, he, pa, chrissy from european side that turned a blind eye to bloody who did ta that happened in p. i'm back in 2014,

but is in hysteria right now. you see, there's hysteria over the fact that in ukraine, all conceivable norms of international and humanitarian law 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 showing by the armed forces and nationalist battalions of ukraine, of peaceful areas of don bass and other areas. permit us to law roof also said that moscow hopes that russia's western partners will understand soon, that it is very dangerous and very counter productive to feel ukraine up with more than the weapons. and that this should be stop so that the blood should ends in ukraine. 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 make sure that 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 market place. however, moscow has responded by saying it will not sell its oil on the 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 in mid 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. 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 you aims to fill up its gas storage silos, but many countries say they're still far from that goal. germany's gas reserves are now said to be at 65 percent of what's needed in while greece has

become the 3rd year country after spain and portugal to turn down an offer from the european commission to cut gas consumption by 15 percent talks among european leaders show that the u faces reducing gas and electricity usage are made massive price hikes and the rise of unemployment due to risks to the energy and industrial sectors. economist and political commentator ica hammer says that 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 for bit them to put not going to into into operation the german population, the, the honorary man on the street, the middle, then deli, need the not me to buy plan 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 middle stat and the future of our wealth. just because we don't know to, to blame russia using gas as well as a weapon is faking use. like most of these things that may i mention 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 blame me that russia is taking gas and oil as a weapon. it's just a hoax. they are taking or, and gas as a weapon, as they always that battalion prime minister mario druggie has resigned after the countries ruling coalition. government fell apart over

a key vote. the political crisis in rome has stoked fears of further instability across europe. as ortiz, rachel marston explains. 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 populace parties, italian presidents sergio matter. layla initially refused dr. 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 former prime minister silvio berlusconi center right populist for as a tale, a party, an former deputy prime minister mateo saline populist right lega party italians are upset that the government has spent its time fiddling while rome burns. so to speak,

no one of them. you mean dana, i didn't expect this. it's a big surprise for every one. this change leaves this old stump. i think italians will now vogue less enthusiastically. there will be few people at the polls 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 government 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. so we're hearing an echoes, they're of the same frustration of citizens and 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 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 percentage points. there seems to be a confidence among populist right leaning parties in italy that they have a decent shot at power and scoring and electoral when on the rebound after druggies unforced errors. they're certainly a populace when that's building across europe and sweeping aside longstanding establishment figures. and rather they 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 viral prudence, fault that populace. with a more non interventionist and more cooperative foreign policy approach are gaining 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 russian foreign ministry placed the italian political drama in context to day a 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 of blaming putin for western leaders, inability to focus on doing the work required at home to fix pressing domestic problems while digging their countries into an economic whole over ukraine is going to win them the hearts and mine of their own people and ukraine cubes, army has reportedly attacked a munitions depot in the southern region of ker song currently under the control of russian lead forces. local media outlets have said that there was a huge explosion after that strike. meanwhile and done boss, the ukrainian military has stepped up, its shelling of civilian infrastructure, striking

a residential area in the city of dun units. several apartment buildings had been completely burned to the ground as a result of the attack. and we spoke with one witness of the show what 2 divisions did you want that 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 plays. but it took them a very long time about 3 weeks ago in 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. it was my regular stuff. and in the neighboring lugens people's republic, the ukrainian military has so far failed in its attempts to reclaim territory recently taken by russian led forces. g of troops have now resorted to a fresh round of shelling, hitting some civilian areas,

as ortiz moran gazda of reports from their 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 to, very close, i would say to the front lines, and we've again found the 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 arma capabilities and harassing enemy infantry. it has proved its worth how we find ourselves again in belgrade of cur. 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 the homeless. alina is really what each go clear back. that amusing that. i thought my grandmother, she came along that i knew i spoke,

went in like an upstairs. i deal with 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 this, at the most prevalent movers were not unique. we're actually excited. i'm saying i'm struggling here. e, i need enough of that answers. i would say he's feeling that he emptied his last graph. nice, large, round with. i mean, i stood the 100000000 tech support he me, i turned my pin. you as little as you hit that you will read? yes, the damn thing. good for a while, valentina and tanya assistance when they have passed the flag on to russian

soldiers here, who are a 3rd of their age to carry the flag on woods. valentina has worked as a school teacher for half a said tree, and she is convinced that what kiev did to her community will be avenged on years. it's catching up with young's to definitely have kapco boys if school found out valley as miracles, years with well yet, like ideally who would you put out any, anybody, some rattle a federally burger, really. the old one mouth, the students with so thin india did them really with the youth with nearly caught you to watch. i feel so my spring you might get some i didn't out. okay. so my scenario relatively rank. and yet that money ran, can you, did you want for 18 years smith, daniel,

navigate snafus adolescent just missed school or you thought him talking him living with valentine, his flag is now a bother of the 80th god's 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. how speaker nancy pelosi is plan 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 closest visit for august was followed by a harsh reaction from china as beijing warned it would take forceful measures if the u. s. how speaker follows through with her plans. it would be the 1st such

visit of an american official to taiwan in 25 years. this comes just days after china lashed out at the us after an american naval destroyer was spotted in the disputed taiwan strait. the u. s. navy claims the warship acted in accordance with international law, adding that the trip demonstrates commitment to a free and open endo dis, pacific. but beijing does not 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 china, tensions are on the rise and 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 and has shown strong backing for ty pay. earlier this week, the state department defended its decision to approve

a potential arms sale to taiwan worth $100000000.00 after china demanded that the united states cancel that deal asian studies. professor benjamin chow told us that american domestic issues are to blame for the confrontation between washington and beijing. the current us initiation isn't united behind policies visit. some have already express concerns. us has always send mixed messages regarding some read anytime and problems. we look at the rationale behind all these exposure from the domestic politics in the us. you see that by the news right now, facing, skyrocketing high inflation and rec could fricking low approval rate at this point in his presidency. not looking good for his upcoming return election. so plaintiff on china is

a car to settle america's domestic political conflict. so the have an incentive to send next message to to the child. a former school teacher has crossed the halfway mark towards becoming india's new president, after steaming ahead in this week's elections. art contributor archie, chico reports on that 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 a view, the highest office that is president's office in india. well, apart from that, the fact is that dr. blue community is actually 10 percent off the population in india. that is, it 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. booths. they're going to follow them in which is something that his critics used to say that the b, j, b, and drums are more. these government is because of andrew aggressive. but clearly the fact that drop would be normal is going to be the president of india in the next couple of odds 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 headed towards the progressive path. as far as the min empowerment and under privileged amenities like tribals. 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. the project even offers foreign investors to buy citizenship in the country for $60000.00 worth of the crypto currency. plus the crypto currency also opens up land sales with 250 square meters selling for $10000.00. and to get more on this now we're going to cross live to our expert gas, charles mongo, the legal advisor to the main opposition party in malawi. thanks for joining us on the program. now the central african republic has become the 1st country to embrace crypto currency as a, an official currency. so what's your assessment of that?

it's good for, and that's just a minute. and things are going to public. however, they might be tried. it is a constant including money, in terms of war, suitable aspects of key financial interest at a local provider. so those might be the checks, otherwise it's a good move. maybe a country may jump with shoot, joined to shoot and join the clips a well, that's why assessment and what concrete ways would you say that this move is going to improve the economic situation and that african country? i think we, we should look at the advantages of talk. i said one is that

the trading is similar across the globe waves. i'm being my, we're little people in the sport of living in the u. k. in china, in the u. s. a. india and elsewhere. those people with fundraising, mom, a mom, they need to transfer over investments into my my view is, let's see if we embrace cook, i said, probably it would make easier because then you don't have to chose us no more about the system. we are close to vacations, risks, so, so it will be easier that way assessment well, a lot of experts say that this can actually reduce the dependency of this african countries economy on the u. s. dollar and other foreign currencies. how realistic do you think that is? i don't,

i don't agree with that assessment that led to the u. s. to a lot is this is a global view as a global congress. it, i'm the full men are going to countries including my we are a dependent and therefore the official don't know how to use it for a full donations and anything to actually go on, but i is the august. it is, do i or so there will be so kind of slightly pounds. many of the dollar i'm moving away from the daughter might be challenges in terms of african countries. my inclusive accessing bio april. that is i have completed us jim on our campus. so those are the things we side believe my coming. what do you think more countries are going to join the central african republic and embracing crypto

currencies? i leave so i will fissile horror give you the example of what happened after the image in 2020. when the, the whole week, one of them was just done a lot of movement level businesses. you know, fist fiscal tucked up time was seeing the world not even close in the ice, but probably this would be under the i've been you over trading other than face to face training. i think it was important that the things i got to say would come in handy to merge the senator to people interesting in terms of trading on investment. you'll agree with me that you're doing that deal with wow. and put it into to the growth of the cooper going to say,

nashika, gro, approved one on 500 meter on the status of what it would be to saw statistics of inclusive in the next 5000000 dollars or so was quite a big shift. but that was the big guy, frustrated because of the go by didn't make which restricted a face to face business was actually ok. charles mangold, the legal advisor to the main opposition party in malawi. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. it would be much for having me here. ah, now the white house says joe biden has tested positive for cove it and is taking medication for quote, very mild symptoms ortiz caleb mom and has the details. apparently, on the heels of his trip to the middle east, he's now back in the united states and he's captain pablo positive for colbert. 19

. he is experiencing mild symptoms to some degree, and he is being treated with pass all of it, which is a medication given for very serious cases of cold. now i understand the present will be isolating and working until e test negative, they'll be working in isolation. so there's no chance that you will be infecting other people. now this also comes amid the recent clip. it's gone around of joe biden mistakenly tripping over his words and saying that he had cancer. so people are looking at this situation and a little bit perplexed by what exactly is going on, but we understand he does have cobit 19 and he has tested positive for that he's being treated. and he will be working in isolation. that's all for this. our stick around for more world news stories just about 30 minutes. ah,

i i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such order does that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to trust i rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot,

most protective phone existence with with if anybody's been trapped in an elevator 20 minutes can be pretty long time right and a load trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes. not knowing what's gonna happen, not knowing where you are. suits of sensory deprivation. figure that is your life. now 20 minutes about an hour. not at all. yeah, the intercom is nothing i was trying to get you out. i was keeping you in is your communication. i think sistant who oh.
