ah, a massive blast rocks, the city of goal of the done yet people's republic, after ukrainian forces, allegedly attacked residential areas with more selling reported in the capital city of than yes, russia, iran and nato member turkey help folks to discuss the conflict resolution in syria and called on the us to withdraw its troops from the country. also coming up on the program with american and british counterparts with active support from germans, the poles and the baltic states pretty wants to turn this war into a real one and to direct confrontation between russia and european states in an exclusive interview to r t vs foreign minister gives his take on what the u. s. u. k. have in store for

ukraine on the you with thanks for joining us for the weekly. hey, on our team. my name is peter scott to bring you some of the top stories from the week just gone. we start off with the latest on the ground in ukraine though, where residential areas in done yet came on dis, shutting by ukrainian forces on saturday. thus, according to the nearest people's republic, officials you out of the city was targeted with 3 garage rockets. now this footage allegedly shows evidence that in cindy ammunition was deployed in the attack as reported by that and yet for public military, but no immediate information on casualties was available. meanwhile danielle authorities say that one person was killed and 2 more injured in a separate shelling incident of the city overnights,

the largest and most populated districts in den. yes came under fire. ah ah, earlier on saturday, a huge blast. the city of goal of her, in the done yes, republic, after what was believe have been showing by ukrainian forces, a machinery, plans and fuel station in the city were heads. according to reports, ortiz room. acosta has the details. this particular blast. so we're getting reports from the ground that this was indeed at betral station that was hit by ukrainian artillery during their daily shelling of the city of fog wall of cub. by the way, this is something local residents are completely used to, as it's been going on for the last 8 years, continuously, and more so in the last 5 months since the special operation began. now witnesses are also say that machine building plant was also targeted. ukrainian

military have shell girl of kick continuously for the past 5 months and it's actually intensified over the past 5 months on like in the last 8 years. and of course the civilians and civilian infrastructure was targeted. and we're talking about our private houses and apartment buildings, private garzon, public transport as well. ah hospitals, our schools, gas pipelines, and paralyze thousands of people are with that tricity in gall, of gar. and the services are working on a daily basis to restore services to the citizens. the city of goal of k is located only about 40 kilometers away from the capital off dannetta. however, it sakes more than 2 hours to cover this distance as both of the cities are on the front line of the fighting against ukrainian nationalists. and back to the weekly now, russian president vladimir putin held talks with his iranian and turkish counterparts

. inter run early this week, i was as part of the astronaut troika piece process for resolving this severe conflicts. the 3 leaders expressed hope that the deal will have a positive impact on the region. the good news the leaders focused on measures to tackle the hot bed of international terrorism in the war on middle eastern country, as well as the escalating energy crisis over in europe. they also discuss the exports of ukrainian grain to ease global food issues. and iran supreme leader had some harsh words about nato. war is a violent and difficult issue, and the islamic republic is in no way happy that civilians get caught up in it. but concerning ukraine had russia not taken the initiative, the other side would have taken the initiative and cause the war. nato is

a dangerous entity. the west is totally opposed to a strong, independent russia. if the way is open for nato, it will recognise no limits. if it hadn't been stopped in ukraine, it would have later started a similar war in crimea, russia, iran, and nato member turkey called on the us to withdraw its troops from syria. the russian need also commented on a number of key issues during the summits, as also correspondence elite for tranquil, explains. this constant blame game that has to do with the russian gas exports has been gone on for months and months. eve ball additions, keep saying that the gas prices are going through the roof because of what vladimir putin is up to, because of how the russian government is point to strength. but here in the capital of iran to iran, vladimir putin tried to silence the critics with a what he called facts from a to z. there are several routes that enable the flaw russian gas to europe, and according to the russian leader. if you look at most of these routes in each

case, you'll find how the european politicians are shooting themselves in the foot. take nord stream, one and 2, for instance. the 2nd pipeline has long been complete, but it stopped being certified now turbans for the 1st pipeline are supposed to be in maintenance, but they can't be delivered back to the baltic sea because of sanctions between what's his gas prone have to do with this? the close one pipeline for scheduled maintenance. the other pipeline was closed because of sanctions gas promise ready to pump as much gas as is necessary. it's the west that is imposing these obstacles. they're doing the same thing with oil and petroleum products. gas prom has always fulfilled and will continue to fulfill all of its obligations. it's our partners who are trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes on to gas problem. without any justification. with coven ukraine and the energy crisis, the syrian conflict has taken somewhat of

a back seat. leaders of the 3 countries reminded that 4 years ago, russia, iran, and turkey created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting at different side still, and different political goals, the 3 leaders are on the same page when it comes to one very important aspect. and that is foreign actors in syria, russia, iran, and turkey. despite our diverging views on what is happening on the euphrates, have a shared position that the u. s. must stop stealing from the syrian people. they must stop taking oil from there, and they must withdraw from the country. we believe that in order to achieve long term stability, their control over the entire territory must be transferred to the official government in damascus under the control of the armed forces of the syrian era republic. what we've seen in the radian capital is that the level of trust between

teran, moscow and anchor are only keeps growing. the next summit will take place in russia . we heard from a political communications professor at the university of terren. foot is adi, who says the cooperation which in russia under run will only increase both russia and major oil and gas producers, their neighbors. they have had historical relation. you know, the president was in russia just before the thought of the conflict. ukraine resisting less than the loan of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and governments including and especially the united states, is going to question it. so it makes sense for neighbors to be and increase cooperation. as you know, you don't,

and russia assigned $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the meetings in the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be relevant situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people of both countries. it's not in the west interest to completely break off his ties with russia, especially in energy market. well, that's according to russian foreign ministers that again love role in an exclusive interview to archie, lover of stress. the moscow is not worried about the use desire to cur, purchases of russian oil and gas. the discussion also touched upon the peace negotiations with ukraine, or rather their feasibility. a neat little so that we now understand that ukraine won't be able to put that demands into adequate woods, worthy of serious attention of serious people. ukraine is literally being restrained

from taking constructive steps. the country is being forced to use foreign weapons in a more risky way and foreign specialists actually occupying jobs than maintaining those weapons systems, like high mas, well, this is not really a secret american and british counterparts with active support from germans, the poles and the baltic states really wants to turn this war into a real one and to direct a confrontation between russia and european states is advantageous for the u. s. and the u. k. sitting far away beyond the ocean, it is the european market that suffers most. i have no illusions, and i believe ukraine won't be allowed to conduct negotiations unless washington decides it's made enough trouble and chaos and decides now it's time for ukraine to act on its own. while washington watches from the side used what should have no one answer regarding the new he announced sanctions package and what it really is. well, they've run out of areas where they can hits us and now they have to reassess what they've already created and how it affects them. they've started to think about it

only now. that's why they've introduced what i believe is a clarification of previous sanctions, which greenlight services related to russian food exports for months, they accused us of creating the food crisis and assured us that food and fertilizers aren't on the sanctions list. so come to russia, trade, nobody is stopping you. during those same months, we explained that food and fertilizers, unsanctioned but freights insurance, sa, cargo ships, visits to foreign ports, foreign ships, visits to our ports that was sanctioned in the very 1st packages. so when they lie to our face, we're told that everything depends on us, it is morally questionable. so we'll use many of those if you are really gets rid of russian energy, russia won't face any serious problems. president putin has already said that in spite of the nose string to pipelines, readiness, $0.50, the energy which was meant to go through the pipeline, has already been reserved for internal needs for heating, for the chemical industry, et cetera. i have no doubts will reconfigure this without any major problems we

have by, as we have demand, including in russia, we have no obligations and we don't try to plan on development based on some possibility of everything. returning to how it was a year ago to restore the production chains. no, i believe we should get rid of those changes out of principle and construct new reliable ones. something we're doing right now. there are many examples if and when europe says that they weren't right, that they want to restore trade relations. well, we shouldn't decline straight to way, but we should look for our benefit festivals. meanwhile, some european countries are already feeling the impacts of unseen russian sanctions . as the foundries, foreign minister came to moscow to secure a new deal to buy russian gas, and he said, is impossible to find alternative fuel sources for the winter. would also say more whether we like it or not, and whether we wanted or not, it's impossible to purchase an additional 700000000 cubic meters of gas without russian energy sources or can dream 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 russian hunger is top diplomat said that europe can dream, but it will not be able to survive winter without russia, and it will not be able to buy additional unnecessary, 700000000 cubic meters of gas without moscow minister lover of said the brussels empty russia. rhetoric is to blame for european sufferings. delusion was the further development of our cooperation is of course prevented by the outright. rousseau phobic policy pursued by washington and brussels. this means an unrestrained build up of sanctions without a sound analysis of a consequences. for the very countries in posing them, there was a struggle within european bureaucracy which wants to subjugate everything and everyone, including national governments and wants to dictate conditions and stifle any descent. ukraine was another topic on the agenda,

and the hungarian foreign minister said that war is bad and that budapest wishes in one piece for its neighbour ukraine. as soon as possible, mister la road reminded that the crisis didn't start this february. and he talked about it parker se from european side that turned a blind eye to bloody who to tar. that happened in p as back in 2014, but is in hysteria right now. and while hungry admit that the you has no alternative fuel sources. other countries have refused to follow brussels demand to reduce just consumption. now that submitted the adoption of new sanctions package in which the you agreed to exclude certain areas of trade with russia from the band list r t contributor ritual. madison has more in a rush to prove how much they care about ukraine. the european union went on a virtue signalling, bender imposing a flurry of sanctions, even against its own common interests with russia. but the rush has now subsided

and hang over. seems to be set in as officials start to realize the magnitude of the headache that they have now caused for themselves. not that the rhetoric out of brussels is changed just this week. the you forged ahead with the 7th round of sanctions. this time hitting russian gold imports and several individuals who have defended russian interests amid the conflict in ukraine, including members of a russian motorcycle club called the night wolves and actor vladimir mash puff, who appeared in the hollywood film franchise mission impossible, stirring tom cruise number states have agreed to reinforced prolonged a you sanctions against the kremlin. i welcome that it sends a strong signal to moscow. we will keep the pressure high for as long as it takes brussel seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel on new sanctions options. as it runs out of ammo, it also appears to be giving a bit more thought as to whether each new shot risks, recoiling right into its face. the russian metals company v s. n. pio abysmal was

reportedly yanked off the sanctions list at the last minute or the fear that were block russian titanium supplies to france. headquartered jet maker, airbus, for example. the block has also backtracked this week on other existing sanctions that had gone against its own stated values and priorities. the e, you decided to extend the exemption from the prohibition to engage in transactions with certain state owned entities. as regards transactions for agricultural products and the transport of oil to 3rd countries. none of the measures adopted to day or earlier target in any way. the trade in agricultural and food products, including wheat and fertilizers between 3rd countries and russia. but what russell's is trying to maintain an anti russian ideological posture. it still hasn't been enough for ukrainian president library zalinski who said of the latest round of u sanctions that russia must feel a much higher price for the war to force it to seek peace. but while western media raising doubts about the true impact of the sanctions on russia,

european business men have been arguing that it is your opinions who have been hardest hit. you officials are acknowledging the concern, but aren't forthcoming with any evidence detailing any quantifiable benefits of maintaining their ideological posture. there is a big debate about the sanctions. effective are the sanctions affecting us more than russia. some european leaders have been saying that the sanctions were an error was a mistake. well, i don't think it was a mistake. instead, they're going to try downloading the pain on to citizens of e u. member states by asking to cut their consumption by 15 percent starting august 1st and into next year to make it through the winter. assuming that there is a full disruption of rush and gas, we need to save gas to fill our gas storage is faster. and to do so, we have to reduce our gas consumption. it's an a front to sovereign decision making that portugal, greece and spain have already overly rejected. the government does not agree. in

principle with the commission's proposal for a 15 percent reduction in natural gas consumption. meanwhile, hungry is 40 head with negotiations of new gas supply deals with russia as its top diplomat headed to moscow this week, rather than being an issue of the you versus russia, it is turned out to be more along the lines of the you against self. as pragmatists square off against the idea logs amid the sanctions. meanwhile, the hungarian parliament has continued to distance itself from the east duns, by passing a resolution that curves bristles power in dictating to you. members and lawmakers in budapest did not pull any punches in criticising the european parliament. european democracy must be led out of the dead end into which the european parliament has steered it. the european union must change because it is unprepared for the challenges of our times. and gary and law makers insist the national parliaments should reserve the rights of the so you why decisions imposed by

brussels. and the resolution comes up to some top european officials, including germany, chancellor called for the right to veto, to be scrapped. brussels is currently withholding billions of euros in recovery funds and credits from hungry, of concerns of corruption in the country with the best bass economist and research annemarie odd no believes that more countries will soon take hungry defiance dance . yeah, i think the hungarian government, those are any of the numbers we think are national. we can add a made decisions about people's had they had money spent money and how to better a p. and there is always the sanction. but they have decided, well, all 3 of the hundreds of millions of people in you,

more and more on other voices can be heard which are in favor of stop paying get a sanction cody c and g b a. so it can be that someone or later under the trash people, more countries can be in the can talk you later by 100 heavy rains have caused flooding and the result capital of russia. the city of sultry, local officials, reports over 400 people have been injured and one woman has died. now these videos circulating on social media from saw to show the storms are broken out across the whole, across our region in the south of russia. after abnormally heavy rains on saturday, ministries in the city are currently flooded with infrastructure in a number of districts paralyzed. emergency services are providing assistance to

local residents. votes where the forecast to say the situation may get worse due to the possibility of tornadoes. the american association for human rights has slammed both moroccan and spanish or sources for last month's tragedy which dozens of migrants died while attempting to storm a spanish enclave in north africa. this unprecedented encirclement, which highlights the new inhumane practices in the role of gendarme reactivated with force just after the normalization of moroccan spanish relations. the migrants were once again attacked daily to prevent them from settling in this camp. almost 6 kilometers away from the lyla. at the same time, as the severely injured migrants piled on top of each other, were crying out for help in moaning in, pain and agony. the public forces continued to violently dragged the arrested migrants before piling them on top of their compatriots without taking into account their health condition. the tragic incidents in late june led to the death of 27 people with another 64 missing. many more migrants were injured as police pushed by

crowds using force. the report comes after morocco, state bytes rights group said that the migrants had mostly died from se, most likely died from suffocation. and some pete of the board post the presidents of the american association for human rights believes immigration policies need a complete rethink. so avoid to such incidents happening again. we believe the main cause of this tragedy is the result of the migration policies pursued by these countries. any attempt to avoid responsibility is only an attempt to hide the fact that these policies are the main cause of this tragedy. this catastrophe, this migration policy will be the cause of other tragedies if it is not stopped. the report will play or rather is already playing a key role in shaping public and international opinion about what happened on the day of the tragedy. using this report, we will also try to ensure that morocco stops playing the role of a gendarme for europe in spain, and that the migration policies pursued by morocco. the european union in spain

change, and become more loyal to migrants and comply with international human rights agreements . shall anchors icing leda has won the presidential election this week conducted in a secret ballot. how by parliament now that's as must process persist in the impoverished south asian country, which has been devastated by spiraling economic crisis. hundreds of processes gathered in front of the president's office, some of them even burning an effigy of the leader and demanding he resign as a symbol of a tarnished government. security forces have been on heights and alerts in the capital city colombo, during the election with soldiers patrolling the streets on the waterways. in the meantime, scores of protesters have been running outside the parliament building during previous days. all correspondence london saw mat reports from the scene. oh wait a
