ah, ah, it ah hungry is foreign minister, says budapest wants to buy additional russian gas and cannot get through the coming winter without those imports that says the e u struggles with the backlash of its own sanction. europe sinks deeper into political and economic uncertainty and that's after italy's prime minister steps down and his coalition government collapses and artsy reports from the low gods, the peoples republic, where the ukrainian army has resumed shelling civilians after failing to retake territory from russian led ports. we hear from some of the locals called the fox in the crossfire sketchy himself

with his usual most with you're watching our to international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. now on to our top story, while some european officials continue to blame bratia for their issues at home hungry 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 moral side of 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 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 these time and if your resources were not affected, but 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 and storage is in europe. the number is always 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, rather it is to blame for europeans suffering or sac delineation. what does it mean to the further development of our cooperation? as of course,

prevented by the outright russia 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 would have best 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 these bloodshed and as soon as possible, miss 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 todd had happened, and he is 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 showing by the armed forces and nationalist battalions of ukraine, of peaceful areas of don bass and other areas. permit us to love rockwall so sad that moscow hopes that russia's western partners will understand soon, that it is very dangerous and very counterproductive to fill ukraine up with more than weapons. and that 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 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 has been discussed, are 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 from a 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 sparks fears of additional shortages in europe. so far, the north stream one pipeline has been filled to 40 percent capacity. this 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 that you aims to fill up its gas storage silos. but most countries say they're still far from that goal. germany, gas reserves are now said to be at 65 percent of what's needed. meanwhile, 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. that you faces reducing gas and electricity usage and made massive price hikes and the rise of unemployment due to risks to the energy and industrial sectors. economists and political commentator ica, hama, 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 to into into operation the german population, the, the honorary man on the street, the middle, then deli, need the not me to pipeline and they wouldn't have any problems about running this, but the have personal types, and this is why they are risking the future of the germany economy, the future of the john middle that and the future of our wealth,

just because we don't know to, to blame russia using gas as well. as a weapon is fake use, like most of the things that they mention nowadays, and it's 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 tell him. 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 populous parties. italian president, sergio much out ala, initially refused dragon's 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 ukraine, particularly 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 sal weenies populous right lega party italians are upset that the government has spent its time fiddling while rome burns . so to speak, no one of the poem you mean them. i didn't expect this. it's a big surprise for everyone. this change leaves is all stumble. i think italians will now vote 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 governmental way apart from dragged his name. it is necessary to have a strong government because it is a critical moment for our economy in europe's economy, w. so we're hearing echoes, they're 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 which are proving costly for the average citizen in their daily life, just to day, for example, european central bank announced an inter street 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 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 hooton's 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 for a 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 wester establishments approach 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 minds of their own people, ukraine's president has criticized the latest e u sanctions against russia, saying they're not strong enough. that's after european countries failed to agree on further restrictions on russian oil and gas imports. i'll let your war and then this time, this is not enough and i frankly tell my partners about it. russia must feel a much higher price for the war so that it forces it to seek peace. we see how erroneous was the policy of some old leaders of european countries who made europe hostage to gas supplies from russia and medical. you measures aimed at restricting

russian energy imports are bringing more divisions among the blocks. members of spain rejects brussels proposal to cut gas consumption by 15 percent until next spring, with some official saying they are ready to defend european values, but spanish families will not suffer gas or electricity cuts in their homes. this also comes as hungarian lawmakers have passed, a resolution backing the power of national parliaments to veto you wide legislation . meanwhile, in the latest attempts to get more military aid from the west, ukraine's 1st lady has addressed us congress asking capital hill to provide more weapons to key of troops with them hired and i'm those are, but those num, your help is very strong, while russia kills america saves lives. i am asking for weapons, weapons that would not be used to wage a war, but to protect our home and the right to wake up alive in that home. sure, i'm asking for air defense systems that will stop these missiles from killing our

people, killing our children right in their strollers. this comes in a growing concerned the weapons sent ukraine are ending up on the black market. earlier the head of interpol warns that criminals in europe and elsewhere are getting their hands on some of these guns. they use. law enforcement agency has echoed those fears and says that weapons are already being trafficked from ukraine to organized crime groups. meanwhile, canada has reportedly admitted it has no way to track the weapons. it's sending to you crane football policy researcher george masula. he says it's washington that wants to keep fighting, no matter what it is, a clear case of things, but he's a real boy. so this is not the one who's calling the shots. the one is going to shop is the united states. the united states is essentially given the landscape a blank check telling him you go on fighting, you go on, bellowing and yelling. i will supply you with all the weapons that you want and the

europeans who have not resisted all the americans entreat, is ready to go with a cliff. i mean, they are destroying their own economies. they're not able to withstand this coming economic crash. why? the united space is just pulling the strings in the background and they're ok. i'm in america suffering. anything like the way the europeans is suffering, the lens get off this dog or his cast. we need to address the congress or from the congress would be very happy to do so. it's always been obvious that the only reason that the us is sending weapon rate in the ukraine is to inflict as much pain as possible on crushes, giving them these weapons. they know they're going to be used against the, like they say, oh, we told the ukraine is not to use them against the russians against russians on

russian territory. what caused these weapons are going to be use against russians in reference to everybody knows that it's ridiculous and pretend that this isn't going to happen. and in ukraine cubes, army has reportedly attacked a munitions depot in the southern carson region. currently under the control of russian lead forces, local media outlets have said there was a huge explosion after that strike. meanwhile, and on boston, ukrainian military has stepped up. it's showing of civilian infrastructure, striking a residential area in the city of dungeons. several apartments have been completely burned down as a result of the attack, and we spoke with a witness of the showing what univision did yearly with yesterday, we went out here. 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 in 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 here again and in the neighboring lugens people's republic. the ukrainian military has so far failed in its attempts to reclaim territory taken by russian led forces. g of troops have now resorted to a fresh round of shelling, heading some civilian areas. as ortiz more, i'd gazda of reports from the scene across the don bus bus. and huh. troops crisscross 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 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 grandmother she came along with that on his facebook window like when you have studio enough. 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 most prevalent movers,

we're not unique. we're actually excited. i'm saying i'm struggling here. e. i need enough that estimates that he feel really valiant, that his lack roughly florida with i mean i stood behind my bill in tech support. he me, sir, but my pin you as little he, he talia will read yet the only and thank god for a while, 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 kiev did to her community will be avenged on years. yes, scott came up with young's to diversity and heard of chapel boards if school found out valley as measles, jesus and well, yes. like ideally food you put out that he, he really some rattler federally. i really the alan mercer,

the students with india to done really with these up with really caught you to watch a few of us pretty much just on my list here. okay. so my scenario, rest of only around on the at that moment i am, can you didn't you ask for 80, miss smith jen, navigate snafus adolescent just missed school or you thought him talking him living with valentino. his flag is now a by that of the 80th god's tank regiment. recently decorated ordered by putin himself, but bravery and heroism have promised the peace flag will fly wherever these conflict takes more. i'd gasdio ot from the look on the people's republic. us house speaker nancy pelosi is plan trip to taiwan is now up in the air after joe

biden says, the pentagon does not support seeing the top us official come 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, who was followed by a harsh reaction from china as beijing warned it will take forceful measures if the u. s. house speaker follows through with her plan. it would be the 1st visit of such an american official to taiwan and 25 years. this comes just days after china lashed out at the u. s. after an american naval destroyer was spotted in the disputed taiwan strait. u. s. navy claims the warship acted in accordance with international law, adding that the trip demonstrates commitment to a free and open indo pacific. beijing doesn't agree and says the move is only stoking the risk of a 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. made conflicting messages over taiwan coming from washington. beijing still considered, considers that island part of its territory while the u. s. has not recognized taiwan as an independent country and has shown strong backing for taipei. earlier this week, the state department defended its decision to approve a potential arm sale to taiwan worth over $100000000.00. that's after china demanded the u. s. cancel that deal. asia studies professor benjamin chow told us that american domestic issues are actually to blame for the confrontation between washington and beijing. the current us initiation isn't united behind policies visit some have already expressed concerns. a u. s. has always, you know, send mixed messages regarding some during the time when problems nuvie we look at the rationale behind all these exposure from the domestic politics in the us. you

see that by denise right now, facing, skyrocketing high inpatient, and breck fricking, low approval rating. at this point in his presidency, not looking good for his so upcoming return election. so ah, playing tough on china is a court to settle america's domestic political conflict. so the, that the, the have an incentive to send next messages to, to, to china. china is called on the united states to stop looting syrian resources with beijing also slamming what it calls washington's double standards on human rights may found this to me. you as a troops still occupy serious principal oil fields, and we're producing red basket regions. the u. s. armies, plunder of searing resources, has aggravated the humanitarian crisis on the ground. some angry syrians have

complained that the u. s. came for profit and would leave when all profit is gone. they say the us presence of syria itself is a type of terrorism. the u. s. claims to hold itself to the highest standards on human rights and rule of law. but what it did in syria is clear evidence that the standards mean little to the us with comes after syrian media outlets reported on us, convoys allegedly smuggling syrian reach oil and military equipment into iraq. tens of thousands of barrels of oil are said to have been stolen from northern syria for washington's occupation forces are situated during his time as us president donald trump admitted that the country's military presence in syria is quote, only for the oil contradicting official statements from his own government, which maintained that the remaining american troops there were there to fight terrorists. meanwhile, during his recent trip to to iran, president vladimir putin reiterated at the u. s. must stop its exploitative

behavior in syria and across the region. russia, iran and turkey. this fight our divergent views on what is happening on the euphrates. have a shared position that the u. s. must stop stealing from the serious 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 siri era republic. independent journalists, vanessa bailey says, the u. s. actions in syria are nothing short of theft and piracy. i think it was only 2 days ago that 40 oil tankers were seen leaving north east to iraq. and from there, of course, they're sold predominantly into israel. the theory and people are living under some of the most barbaric functions that we've ever seen in history that also even

affect countries that are coming to the assistance of syria to rebuild civilian infrastructure. so we have sanctions, we have left or oil piracy. we have the burning of agricultural crops and the occupation of agricultural areas by us proxy. so it's not only oil and resources, turkey, it's cutting of water. so there's a hydro money we're going on in the northeast also. so effectively, the us occupation is totally preventing the restoration of syrian society. it's preventing the flow of theory and resources to syrian people, right. and so the, the us occupation must and for syria to be able to repair itself and to rebuild and for people to be able to breathe. a former school teacher has crossed the halfway mark towards becoming india's new president. after steaming ahead in this week

selection r t contributor rtc who reports from new delhi drop would be more and more is going to be the 15th president off 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 the president's office in india. well, apart from that, the fact is that dr. bill community is actually 10 percent off of population in india that does it all well, 100000000 people and this population is scattered across the country. tribal communities also are one of the most backwards communities in terms of the growth and development. however, brad, 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 critic used to say that b, b, j, b, or mode. these government is because the rate of andrew aggressive but clearly the fact that drop would be mobile is going to be the president of india in the next couple of odds when the counting is over. 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 boss as far as women environment and under privileged amenities, like tribal on the white house says, joe biden has tested positive for covert 19 and is taking medication for quote, very mild symptoms, as ortiz caleb up and reports. 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 passel of it, which is a medication given for very serious cases of cold. now i understand the. ready president, b, 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 thanks for watching our to international we hope to see you again soon. the

ah what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down.
