[000:00:00;00] with preparing for the worst this winter, europe commits to a 15 percent cut in gas consumption until next spring, but on a voluntary basis with numerous exemptions to the energy savings love also ahead. one day the asking your question, are you approached? was as if you must, you mustn't come when you do it. i'm through my should. uganda is president, spelled out his foreign policy views coming after talks with russia help diplomats, who's in the east african country on the latest stop, all of his tour across the continent with the city of done yet comes under

further shelling from ukrainian forces dunbar. so authority says psychiatric hospital and then all terminals were hit and point to us supplied weapons being used with across the globe or on the clock. this is our t great, thank you with us today for the news run up. i'm, you know, neil e u countries have committed to a 15 percent reduction in gas consumption until next spring. although the small print shows that the energy saving plan is voluntary and comes with a pretty sizable heft of exemptions. it follows russian energy. john gallus problems announcement that it's to further cut supplies to europe from wedding state. you chief 1st of underline, praise the block, smooth saying it shows the unanimity of member nations. i strongly welcome the

endorsement by counsel of the regulation to reduce gas demand and prepare for the winter. it is a decisive step to face down the threat of a full gas disruption. thanks to today's decision, europe is now ready to address its energy security as a union. the only really entity on this issue is the countries that refuse to cut their gas use agree that those who have had no choice and new alternatives should really well. yeah, ration their supply. so there's really no solidarity at all. embraces the central request that all $27.00 member states reduce their gas consumption by 15 percent. this is really all about the entire e. you coming to the rescue of germany, the blocks top economic engine, which lacked the courage to stand up to american pressure to sanction its pipeline projects with russia. and men stood idly by while that you did exactly the same thing. all apparently, without any viable back, a plan for their own national climbing berlin. me to really foolish, strategic mistake by depending so heavily on renewables when it's pretty clear that they aren't ready for prime time. so berlin egg on by brussels, talked

a good tough game about being strong and independent, not needing any russian energy. but well, i guess was all bluster because it's still so reliant on that russian gas that freaked out over attending maintenance shut down of the nord stream on pipeline. and is now panicking again over gas prongs reduction of delivery volume by 80 percent starting tomorrow. so the berlin hands the blocks member states have decided today that if brussels ever imposes the 15 percent cut as a binding measure, well in all their spirit of unity, they'll just opt out. that's the kind of unity over which you officials are all pat each other on the back today. you really can't make this stuff up. malta, cyprus, ireland, and portugal aren't connected to the you grid aren't reliant on gas. and well, they want to maintain their independence and sovereignty france almost made the same foolish choices that jeremy did by launching headlong into green energy. but then a dodged a bullet when its success,

fully logging brussels to reclassify nuclear power as green earlier this year. so now it figures that they can just fire up a few more radioactive energy plants again and whether this turbulence. so as a french ecology ministry says they really were cool with brussels proposed dictate . we do not want to introduce uniform objectives that would not be adapted to every one's reality in which ultimately would not have an impact on our ability to export gas to our neighbors. grayson's vein had also said no to the proposal, insisting on maintaining sovereign control over their own supply and hungry is well already in king. new russian gas deals even as the rest of the you rings its hands over how it can possibly continue to keep ukraine president library zalinski happy without completely bleeding out their own economies. oh, and by the way, they really can't keep him happy clearly because he's been popping off yet today, even as the states were meeting, repeating his mantra that the you have to hit back with even more sanctions,

apparently oblivious to the fact that sanctions are exactly why the situation in europe is this bad as much as the you is paying lip service to the idea of solidarity and making a lot of noise about it in public. the reality is that the increased pressure is causing any unity to start falling apart at the seams of german economists than publisher ikea. hummer believes it's ordinary europeans who end up paying the price for the use planned to cut gas consumption. i'm afraid that these european bureaucrats really think that they are in charge and they can take the order of ordering people. busy that to limit their consumption of, of guess not beneficial for their own people, them up only paying more for the gas they have, they get limits on what they get. and on top, they using that jobs because the companies are breaking apart. and on top,

the euro is losing ground and is getting worthless and worthless, so no holiday and other things in the so foreign countries any more. this is an uncontrolled demolition of economy with an impoverished man of the european people . russia's top diplomat has hinted a key cause of europe's energy crisis lies in pure politics. sir, yell of rov stress that the nord stream to pipeline, which connects russia to germany, but currently doesn't have berlin's operational approval. is capable of meeting demand. just what was the wooster now witnessing to pass around the decision by gas problem that one more gas turbine of north stream one has to be taken to maintenance, and the e. u is conveying some extraordinary energy session on the matter. in this regard, i simply wand up. there were rules which provides secure operation to the pipeline . did i get it right that were being urged to violate the rules as particular german representatives during the as far as i'm concerned, germans of famous have been committed to rules. how can they cool for the violation of rules on which dependence the security of people,

when it comes to the north stream to it, is completely ready to make up for the demands of europe, which needs this particular fuel. however, it's close for purely political reasons, but it's you, in the circle of ralph was speaking from uganda. on the 3rd leg of his african tour, russia's foreign minister met the country's president. and while speaking to the media, afterwards, both confirmed their refusal to polarize the world. this was, we are looking for a win, win, win, win for vivid, avoided in the was on disposable. so this will be over river. it's not part of the british and moment structure, you know, otherwise we should be quartering with those will hold on. no, you won't. or should it be from you? but we, we forgot about the and we are moving for when that was the cold war. one day they asked me a question. are you perused? or for a was a should you must, you must think i am when you do it. where do you think my,

my men job is to be pro somebody i am through i should've. symposium began as president gave the only right answer when asked whether he's pro western or pro, east and politician. an answer which you can expect from a serious political figure. but unfortunately, right now, these instincts have colonialism emerged in the politics of western countries when they demand the whole world take their side and running against all the others. we also discussed the root causes of the unfolding energy and food crises, no african friends understand that the origins of that have nothing to do with the military operation when it comes to bilateral relations. we agree to keep that in mind and look for opportunities in the energy and food sectors, which wouldn't depend on the whim of western partners. rushes for minister is an honored guest here on the side. stress is all the time the delegation has been accepted at the presidential palace. this is where labranz met both his counterpart and the countries leader. we'll go on days, a long term strategic and economic part. no, russia,

that was one of just the few countries supported the gunners independence from bridge empire, gandhi's highly dependent on russia's grain, their global food crisis, that followed western economic sanctions against russia was among the key topics on the agenda. well, the rush is very active here on the african continent. the west express has concerns about that and is trying to put pressure on all right. you know, players working together with moscow organza is a sad country minister law visits as part of his african tour. next comes ethiopia . yeah. just to reiterate, minister love ralph was in egypt on the republic of the congo as part of his 4 country trip. after you get the asked, maria said there he travels to his final destination. ethiopian. mr. la roth also spoke with representatives from over 20 or a league nations earlier that the u. s. department of state spooks personally dismissed the significance of but rather concluding not the true demonstrates how

isolated russia is. it is becoming clear that russia is recognizing that his own actions have caused it to become a with with if we have good relations with russia, all countries of africa have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies . who are stance on the russia? ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since it's break out. we never wanted to how with the wolves as fuel to the fire? well, independent global affairs analysts and pay yeah. care, glum mini say's african nations or how between gauge with any partner they just don't like being dictated to i think it's very kind of by country by generally it's very positive because, you know,

i think i need as many trade pack not it can get as many security by that it's can get western countries tend to impose their venues had been on up to 10 countries. russia in china are just larger champ, were taped and for atlanta. so it was in countries are willing to meet african country that you inquired in the same way they are willing to meet with the rebate cause and notes and not pitches would read their own human rights and detriment of the homeless people, for example. and be willing to take the payment on the same time, the not to them and the piece last and i think everyone is welcome to take enough to kind of i like that enough because okay, i don't want to keep focus on africa. no. on the program because an empty un protest in the democratic republic of congo has left at least 10 people dead and more than 50 injured. the footage you're seeing now purports to show members of

a un peacekeeping mission in the d. r. c. firing shots of the crowds of protesters, according to media reports, troops used to go live bullets to disperse demonstrators and looters. you and officials have yet to comment. on the incident, the peacekeeping mission in the country has been facing increased criticism for its perceive failure to stop fighting in the conflict torn east of the country, as well as energy and food crises continue in many parts of the world. it's left many struggling to simply survive inter lanka, food inflation, has exceeded 80 percent. a recent government decision to restrict fuel imports came of the country faces a severe shortage of foreign exchange reserves. supplies of sea food in local markets, a crucial food staple to with the country, generally hit by a lack of a century. those sea food stockpiles running very low, our teeth. runjun sharma. how's the report?

a tooth. around 20 kilometers. from sheila, gauze, largest city, colombo is elecom. the here is community of fishermen is deeply affected by the crisis. the lack of fuel has meant that they haven't gone fishing for days. boats headed out to see your is a rare sight of the 75 whistles based here today. only 9 hatfield and the luck to go fishing would love 90 percent of the votes. sad grounded here because of lack of fuel. they'll fishermen community are finding it extremely hot to stay with the fishing sector. employees one tend to sheila gas population and helps to feed many more. i took out my boat off the 3 weeks today. it's been very

tough for us on the island also explored what fish do not crabs and prompts to several countries, including china, japan, as well as the us. now majority of these orders cannot be fulfilled right now. we don't have fewer for the boats. boats can rope along days and come get actually going to need to get dry until the season is actually supposed to be the seasonal bronze and coffee those days. if you dig with last year, december, drones, wind up to around $500.00. that's been now we go. 1000 monkey, one kilogram. norma to an a fish. yeah. second ed by the local to do on also. dave and from the range of $43200.00. when all day i go up to 700. so each triplet use, the crisis only getting, was with these days, very expensive, if you will lose a pretty short age. mm hm. how often do you come here now?

once have eco right? now you're not able to afford the committee. and if you go, the big question remain, will the new president runner become a thing you be able to stop the island from thinking deeper into the crisis and will the people give him a chance to do so? quinton, shar, ma, sri lanka, r t. god willing, we're not going to see a recession. the words of president biden who appears to be seeking help from a higher power to save him from some potentially crushing g d p. numbers coming up we're recession. my view, my, our baby, we go from this rapid growth to steady growth and so she will see some coming down . i think we're going to, god willing, i don't think well, well, there's no official definition of recession. it is commonly considered of the calm

me shrinking for 2 consecutive quarters. the white house seems to disagree instead, proposing to take a quote holistic look at the data. the bye didn't ministration odds in this case, the country is not recession, even if gdp ends up falling in the 2nd quarter of the year, 2 with g d, b in america shrunk. 1.6 percent in the 1st quarter of this year. the us treasury secretary jealous ellen claims rising inflation in the country can be controlled. the current rate sets 9 point one percent the highest number of decades, which is putting pressure on american consumers with food energy and rents continue to get ever more expensive. even see it in generally seen as a pro democrat cello hid it. democratic and you as president joe biden for apparently misleading citizens? yes, faith this. no, i was just, i was laughing to myself with the in my view thing that caitlin highlighted, but it doesn't really matter what you think it's, there's are there is

a technical definition to straight quarters of negative economic growth. well, it's you politic on markets. analysts tomlin go say's the u. s. government is out of touch or doesn't much care with what's happening in reality, joe is, is, is that is out the launch on this. it's very clear that we're looking at we're looking at a recession. that's fine. actually the, the thing that's really worrisome is that everybody's afraid of it. it's about the midterm elections. alex, not kid ourselves. the democrats are looking at an historic wide downs this fall in, in the mid term elections. there's no way of getting around that. at this point, all they're trying to do now is just trying to find away the problem and hope that they can massage the situation to the point where they can say, well, you know, experts say that it's not really a recession. if we have 2 quarters of g is negative g, d p growth, this is the product of what happens when the echo chamber and

d. c is insulated as it is from outside ideas. and that's just simply where we are here. these are talking points. these are political, the action strategies that could only be birth inside of and out of contract. ok. so out of touch with what's going on on the ground in reality for real people. the u. s. has a non said, we'll send a high profile diplomatic delegation to the solomon islands in august, not comes after china and the south pacific nation earlier signed a security deal in april. washington plans to boost the u. s. aids program significantly on the island as, according to americans and buster to australia. the upcoming visit to all of us a lots is not the 1st this year to the country. another american delegation previously met the nations prime minister and raised concerns of growing chinese influence in the south pacific region. beijing slumped us criticism of the chinese

deal. let us know there's a security agreement with the solomon islands. well, in 1093, the us state department, close a. it's embassy on the islands. now. almost 30 years leader washington plans to reopen the american embassy in the capital city. honey, or according to us and buster to westerly carline kennedy. a chin to show senior fellow out of being based thinktank offers his inside to us earlier on washington's interest in the us, obviously. and the vision of a strategic competition with china. so this is the part of the competition. ready so called, well, you know, it self is not competing for the us. the question the off the ask, are you like competing full was. so there is a constraint in the us, some holler at the backyard. you know, it's really hard to say this is a backyard, you know, be sure to be the dominant force. we are entering a market polar new order a market, pull the world. and where the u. s. is not the dominant force anymore is not the

dominant force and more to say the least. so this is a new reality. and if you refuse to accept the new reality, you know, who knows they have this is tom electric power. steel might result the to the military method and then that will be some conflicts and other news line to bring you today is really defense minister benny gunner said his country house. that means and the ability to contain or runs nuclear program. iran is a global problem. it is not just the israel private problem. we're able to seriously harm and delay the nuclear program. the israeli defense minister also claim restoring the 2015 nuclear deal would only be a delaying tactic, which would eventually lead to around. he sais, returning to nuclear weapons plan, to runs position on its nuclear policy, has remained on change according to the iranian foreign ministry who said it is

purely peaceful for fuel purposes, not weapons, and is monitored by the international atomic energy agency. world studies. dean of the university of tehran side, mohammed mirandi believes both israel on washington's position on iran is contradictory israel, he's americans are in a sort of paradoxical position because on the one hand, on the one hand, they and the wants media like to dismiss iran capabilities on the other hand though, they exaggerate some this so called threat of iran. the ryans are very clear that the only deal that is acceptable to tell ron is a good deal and maximum pressure sanctions on behalf of the americans and europeans, the fail. so if they think that by using sanctions or by threatening me wrong, they're going to get more confessions ever taken today. they're the ones who are in

trouble. their economies are floundering there in economic crisis, their social crisis, and they have a crisis in europe. so there are no position to put extra pressure on iran. a psychiatric hospital in done yet has come under attack from ukrainian artillery, showing according to local authority. the official saying oil refinery in the city was also targeted by key forces during using us supplied highmore system and tense exchanges of artillery fire is taking place along the entire front line in don boss with no let up since last week the russian defense industry has released footage of tech helicopters, inaction. it comes as russian forces continue to target you friendly and military positions with the m. o. d. seeing around 44 and mercenaries were killed in a single strike by high precision missiles. in the past 24 hours. the advance

continues at lou guns were public official save russian. lead forces have taken control of the key course can power plants and the clean up operation is under and be high. the front lines in the done yet republic, russian humanitarian services, they've been delivering more a to villages most in need of it r t for mon cost, he's on the grinder and talk to those thankful for the supplies. village is still under fire and it's very difficult for people to bring of food here. so all these people are relying on humanitarian aid. there are at least 1200 residents that live in this village alone. and the russian humanitarian emission has been delivering food here for quite a few months. and according to the people, if it wasn't for them, they would be starving. we just looked at what i thought this isn't our 1st time

here. we've been 4 or 5 times since this is my 3rd visit, anybody in this time we've never was a standard humanitarian package. each box contains around 15 kinds of products apart from food. we've also brought valuable things like water filters thrown in the weight of our cargo today is to new half tons over all since the war started. we've brought some 600 tons social away and i thought i'd say never been in this village for about 10 minutes. mind you there is no network here sold. the telephones that don't work. but somehow the people found out that the humanitarian aid was brought. and as you can see, there are now coming from everywhere can see people from coming from afar. and this shows how much this humanitarian aid is needed. yoko, a photo, not a reporter. we've had no pensions, no salaries for 6 months from some shops have opened. the prices have gone up 3 times for the last time i got my pension was in february, and that's it. there's no money to pay for food. and this, this is

a significant hauser that watching federal ship all my it's very needed help him. we are refugees, we left a broken house and everything and we took only a few bags with us and we are grateful for the healthy battle. the village of storm lina, kirby came home to hundreds of refugees from other areas that ukraine is currently shelling very heavily. now, right now, i'm going to speak to a one of those refugees. he doesn't to be shown on camera because his relatives are still on a territory controlled by ukraine, but he has some very important information to share. gotcha, uncle. her one ukrainian sold her head from the shelling in our courtyard. i call him in and hit him in the basement. he repeatedly use his walkie talkie asking for further instructions. he was very afraid, but he was told to come down and sit tight with them after a while he was told it's time to leave and to his civilians as a shield. so he didn't even turn to us,

but it's unlikely he could take 2 strong men as a shield. anyway, middle schoolers no vis village saw some of the heaviest fighting since the start of this special military operation. although it's a relatively quiet here right now, we can still hear the sounds of artillery. this village of the moment is also hosting refugees from other parts of the nest people's republic still under control of the ukrainian military. but be in here. there are always these constant reminders of the armed conflict. remind cancer if hearty don't as people republic i'm dancer lot for now, but more programs get going in moment say close to see what showing where you are today. good bye. ah

ah. with ah, only one main thing is important for naziism, internationally speaking, that is, that nations, but that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slave americans. proc obama and others have had

a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was caught, your strategy was and walked out of it on your own. i not, felicia, often zip on in tablet loc. nato said it's ours. we moved east and the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is founded, shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions wars. business and business is good. and that is the reality

of what we're facing. which is fashion. with my daily liquidity shall not wish held a portion of my down. you know, to be shy, a court where you wanna boy, he shall not let the course of not in the pony free. lady shelley was nip is no light, but most of them will be still thinking. this is ophelia. i am to consider so long ago, some better than it be what, what was wrong me. so i will make war, you will be for me. think of that. it also comes with the human voice without us

because she should, you mean yet, the russian speaking, se ukraine refused to accept the cruise outcome. people took to the streets of ukraine's largest cities that had been protest in hock of a desa. mario pope and zap irosia mass protest broke out in the crimean autonomous republic and overwhelming majority of crimean citizens voted as a referendum to break away from ukraine. i did march 2014 crimea, rejoined russia. oh trust me you spent in your own good was miss corridor cross, which is all there isn't dear good year or isn't there with us for you to persist? can you remember little don't ruin criminal muscle or chest of crackers or bottles or new for petrosky or dish. i just wanted mentors sports or orange and
