holders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions of millions or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. with u. s. u d. p meets the terms of recession, the white house tries to put on a brave face, claiming the economy is not struggling with brutality backfires a plan like you have to encourage anti war feeling by spreading videos of the murders of russian prisoners of war. instead outraged the international community and as off battalion member discloses the exercise, lease information campaign was created to promote a war movement in russia. but this campaign caused a negative reaction worldwide because these are war crimes. another u. s. sen urges the house speaker to proceed with our schedule trip to taiwan.

despite growing threats from china to take forceful measures if nancy pelosi follow through with her plan. and 8 people are that and 3 more are injured after expire, breaks out in southeast mobs to co, how high rise we report from the seed. ah, it's 70, i'm here in moscow. welcome to the program where ever you're catching us from, i'm fearless is about. and here the top stories of this our the united states economy has now met the conditions of recession. that's according to the latest statistical data which shows the countries g, d p, declining for a 2nd consecutive quarter. but the white house is in no rush to accept the economic downturn. most economist and most americans have a similar definition of recession. substantial job losses in mass layoffs,

businesses shutting down private sector activities, slowing considerably. family budgets under immense stream in some, a broad based weakening of our economy. that is not what we're seeing right now. when you look at the economy. the u. s. economy shrank once again in the past 3 months unofficially, signaling the start of a recession. i mean, that's simply how people define recession. if you look at the data, the gross domestic product of the united states shrank. and an annualized rate of point 9 percent in the past 3 months, after having decreased by an annualized rate of 1.6 percent in the previous court, that's 2 consecutive quarters of decreasing gdp in the united states. that means that united states, the world largest economy as entered a recession, however,

high officials in the united states are reassuring as that is not the case. here's what they said. that doesn't sound like recession. i don't, i do not think the u. s. is currently in a recession, even if that number is negative, we are not in a recession. now, i will say that the textbook definition of recession is not, is not to negative quarters of gdp. the bike administration is reassuring us that everything is fine. as you heard the secretary of the treasury, janet yolanda she is saying that this isn't a recession, this is quote, a transition in which rose is slowing. a transition in which road is slow and she said not a recession. now this is a similar thing in response to the issue of inflation. inflation in the united states is that a 40 year high and we've been reassured by us officials. this is simply a matter of transition. however, the inflation has continued. it has continued to be an issue, it's not simply

a temporary issue of transition. it's continuing to go on. now at this point in response to this issue, inflation, we have the biden administration spending billions of dollars with a law that they call the inflation reduction act. of 2022. this is how americans responded to this bill. democrats just unveiled the inflation reduction act. someone please tell dems that tanking the economy with tax hikes and bad policy is a crappy way to tackle inflation. only the government could propose a bill to increase spending and call it the inflation reduction act. remember, they always name the bills, the opposite of what they actually mean in any other business, this would constitute fraud and false advertising. so to combat inflation, the government is about to approve $750000000000.00 in new spending and calling it the inflation reduction act. spoiler alert, democrats, new spending bill that they're calling the inflation reduction act will only

increase inflation. now they saw a prices for just about everything are squeezing america's working families, as they're struggling to pay their bills, pay for necessities, and keep the households running amid the rising costs. at this point, we've seen the u. s. stock market tank, the s and p 500 is down by 15 percent home sales have slipped this year and consumer confidence is low. many are looking on and wondering if this could be yet another nail in the coffin of the by the administration. investment manager, mich, fire science says it's impossible to look for a solution from the same people responsible for the current crisis. janet yelling has been consistently wrong when she was the chairman of the fed and she was on the board in the fed. now, as a treasury secretary, the root causes of the problem are too much debt, too much credit to much leverage and too much money printing for 2 decades now it's coming right them. i think the recession started long before this gdp net negative

g d p for him. so, you know, if they want to put lipstick on a pig, it's never going to turn into a super model, a recession. we're in a recession, we've been in a recession. they can lie as much as they want. it wouldn't be the 1st time, so i don't know why anybody shocked by that. inflation is that all time highs. you're not comparing like it like because 19 eighties. if you use the same methodology, you calculate current inflation. now it's probably closer to 20 percent, what people are not talking about as well is the amount of debt that's been accrued during these negative interest rate years. so now you've got debt from the zombie corporations and there are a lot of them that can never be repaid. so you've got probably 6 trillion dollars worth of triple b and junk bonds that have to be refinance. so you will see a mass amount of defaults and bankruptcies that will cause the coming crisis. you

know, she said, i think 2 years ago or 3 years ago will never see another crisis in a lifetime, right? before me, she's been consistently want to saying inflation is transitory. lation is transitory when talk 6 months ago. so why would you believe people that are consistently wrong? the problem is we're going to the same people who create the problems for a solution, and they have no solution and we have no leadership. and now to the latest happening in ukraine, russia, the defense ministry says kids forces are sustaining significant losses with the latest f told, reaching at least $200.00 as a result of high position russian strikes on ukrainian military positions in the harrison region. and inside the don, yes, for public. moscow says its missiles have destroyed 9 ukrainian military command post in the past 24 hours as well as fix munition warehouses. this comes a day after more than a 100 rockets for western supplied highmark launchers are said to have been

destroyed with 120 premium troops also killed. meanwhile in the dawn by the city of e lo, vice in the dawn, yes, people's republic was reportedly shelled by ukrainian forces. local media have shared videos of a huge fire in the city, which is believed to be the result of the attack. authorities are yet to comment on the blaze. this is all as ukraine continues its relentless shelling of civilian areas into don. yes, we're public leaving little but ruins in areas locals used to ones call home our cheese roman closer of reports from the city of gordon, which has recently faced heavy shelly ukrainian artillery attacks continue against civilian population here in this city of gore lapka at least 14 private residences and as 16 multiple apartment buildings have been damaged, as the result for people had been injured here and girl of god alone. this particular building has just 8 apartments,

and 4 of them are now lying in ruins. without a wish. ease them, we had just gone out to get water. when there was an explosion right there under the balcony. it left to pillaged. everything went flying, which for apartments were destroyed. all of us. all of the residents are still alive because we had stepped out. my neighbors had gone downstairs, which they would have died in their apartments. the 4 apartments on the side of the building were destroyed. the other side was left unharmed. when we came back home, there was no home to come back to, which is such a misfortune as a bottle. when you, when i got a call and was told that's eat, your home is gone,

your apartment is gone. i'm happy to be alive. the owner of this apartment, how recently did renovation here. however, as you can see, all of that work was futile, as it now lies almost completely destroyed. now shores like these can be found everywhere that might look small to you, but it weighs at least a 100 grams. no one was killed during this ukrainian attack. however, there were several wounded people here in gore lapka and are now in the hospital, vermont cauthrin r t, the nest people's republic. he directly ordered the spread of video material that showed the murder of russian prisoners of war that's according to a member of the ukrainian nationalist, as all the battalion who served in the units press service. a warning here, the man is a prisoner of war and may have spoken under dress. good before the 24th of february, given before the start of the war,

we received an order from the president's office to create an information campaign with shock content on the brutal murders of russian prisoners of war. when the war started, we started monitoring, ukrainian media and information field, and we noticed that these videos began to appear. i think these instructions were not only given to us, but also to other military units or organizations. as i understand this information campaign was created to provoke and say war movements in russia. but this campaign caused a negative reaction worldwide because these are war crimes later, the order to suspend the campaign was given. i don't know who was specifically involved in this in our unit, but the videos as i understand were collected. and i know for sure that all the video materials, all the flash drives and hard drives were destroyed upon leaving as of style and pull me affordable. chun from he's got the beginning of april at some point we were accompanied by as of fighters. we went to the north of boucher where we had to

distribute medicines. at some point, we even stopped by the hanger where we had to hand over a box of medicines for the as of unit. when we were in this hanger, we saw literally 30 meters away from as of the cars drive of which there were russian soldiers. within us to get out of the hang of fast than i had schultz fired at russian prisoners of war. i saw how these prisons it was showing the lower extremities. in fact, it was the 1st war cry than i personally saw. as soon as we saw this, we were asked to immediately packour things and leave. it was very fust. when i was returning to the car from the passenger seat to leave, i had some one se, officer officer in russian or more of the officers who once was immediately shelton the head. in fact, the man was executed. what good as i left the hanger i saw this execution, beveled. ah, a us senator is urging how speaker nancy pelosi to proceed with a scheduled trip to taiwan a visit which has already stoke us chinatown chance a speaker pelosi should absolutely go home with her trip to taiwan. we can not

allow chinese threats to deter a mere visit. my member of congress of taiwan. earlier china told the washington that polosa visits a tie one plan for august would lead to serious consequences. beijing says it will take quote, forceful measures if the house speaker follows through on her plan. it would be the 1st visit to try one by such a high profile american official in 25 years. just recently, joe biden held a phone call with his chinese counterpart, which lots of more than 2 hours chinese president worn bite in, quote, not to play with fire, as those who do eventually get burned. meanwhile tie when he service men have taken part in annual military drills, simulating a foreign invasion amid growing concerns over tensions in the region. and while some us officials are fearful of a potential conflict with china, other american politicians are apparently pushing for serious confrontation. you

know, the whole idea that we're worried about chinese rhetoric shows how misplaced our policy is. this is a question of how america conducts its own foreign policy. and thank you very much . disease and paying will conduct it the way we want to conduct it. can we send a constitutionally denominated official to china? are we going to back down? because each and paying is shaking his fist? if we can allow the chinese to dictate who can visit taiwan and who can not, then we have already seated taiwan to the chinese. if they can veto everyone in the world who wants to come to taiwan, then taiwan will be isolated. so i think she has an absolute right to visit, and i think the support of taiwan is important. you have people like john bolton, you know, a crew leaders and war mongers who are, who are openly saying that, you know, nancy pelosi should go through with this, as are other leaders in washington. and this is a very dangerous escalation. this is a very, very high profile visit,

and it comes at a time of increasing tension. it's not like the u. s. is saying to china. you know, let's sit down, let's work things out. let's deescalate everything will remove. you know, our carriers strike groups and will open up and recognize, you know, china sovereignty in the region. what they're doing is the complete opposite. they're forcing countries that are making agreements with china like small pacific island nations, to go back on their deals with china, to close the door to china and slowly to in circle china. the, the, the, the chinese have not surrounded the u. s. with military bases and but military planes and worships the united states is doing that to china. so this is just heightening the tensions and, and escalating the situation. it doesn't need to happen now. and the united states is doing it on purpose to provoke china. meanwhile, the eas policy on gas supplies from russia provokes us play among european countries, as germany speak, solidarity with other e members in its attempts to rush and gas imports. the hungarian prime minister

says he isn't the only european leader to oppose a proposed embargo onrush and feel. hungary has so far found ways to reach agreement with you on all anti russian sanctions. however, now we are up against a wall called the gas embargo. i suggest that the countries of the community do not try to fight against it. i don't think i'm the only one who shares this view. meanwhile, germany's economy minister insist that the e u is united in the face of gas supply shortages from russia. his latest statements came on tuesday when you government deliberated over a dropped european law that would require member states to rush and gas to protect countries from supply cuts. the main proposal was to slash consumption by 15 percent with mandatory moves across the block if necessary. however, while germany, italy and some other member states rely heavily on russia, import spain, portugal and greece are less depend, it eventually the use. supposedly united fans boiled down to fresh divisions at the

latest tops in brussels. it shows that european stays july checks that you're able to find, you mean them, unity, i'm giving a strong statement also in the day we're flows of decimals to run or reduce them to another 20 percent to protein and to russia. you won't spit off. of course, a lot of compromises in this text. well, this is the way how europe operates. doesn't make sense that introduce additional yeah. shady measures just for the sake of shirley that i believe. but when it comes to an under security, this is mainly for individual national governments. it was placidity german attorney andre thomas house and told us that e e. o governments will crumble if they keep working energy policies on each other . well, you could mean political suicide for government because all 27 do you remember

states our parliamentary democracy is based on multi party systems. and if people have nothing to eat or if people cannot get to work anymore, or if, if they have to come once a day for an hour to a communal shelter, that's heated to warm up for an hour. and this is the emergency plan for germany. then they might very well adversely and vote in a different leadership. originally, the heart of the you is italy, germany, france in england, england left in the brakes. it may be other breaks. it's like a fracture for france. france is becoming increasingly wanted. president mccaul was probably the leader with the greatest foresight already at the ambassadors conference on 27 august 2019. that's over 2 years basically said that the, the era of western head, germany over the world has ended. and he warned his best with us to, to become, to,

to get acquainted with the thought that there are other powers that we are, that we have moved into a multi polar world already long before the military operation. ukraine, france has been asked to recognize that quote, colonial crimes in cameroon. as a man on the chrome visit to western africa comes to a close political parties want parents to apologize for the massacre of tens of thousands of activists prior to the countries independence in $960.00. everything must be done so that camera no longer accepts friendship gemini, willingly or by force. we take the opportunity to address to again wake the people of cameroon, to the historical problem we have with france. this means we want to say settled a liabilities, all the crimes that france has committed in, cameroon, we have to put them back on the table. microns visit has revived

a painful colonial pass, which has yet to be reconciled from 1916 until $19.00. 160 frances troy villages and massacred entire populations latterly suppressing a nationalist party founded in the late 1900. forty's. during his visit, the french president announced that archives on colonial rule would be opened, and he called on historians to shed light on the colonial period. he recognized that the past brought quote, painful and tragic moments in the country. we heard from representatives from the african movement for new independence and democracy who think that mac crones visit is due to france no longer being a major player on the global political stage muscles. yes, my crohn is coming to cameroon. first, because the wave of contestation of french had gemini and africa in general as well underway. and the french president is coming to try to see if it is still possible for them to master the wave of protest of the african peoples. we believe that it is a legitimate right to the camera,

rooney and people that france acknowledges its crimes. the colonial powers have always lived from the plundering of africa's resources, which is not new. and that is why these colonizing powers are cautious when some one else comes to look at their interest. but it is a revolution that is underway. nothing will be the same as before. the african peoples will emancipate themselves. the russian minister for his part, also comes to trade with african states. he too, is in his role to come and negotiate market shares for his country. but it is not useless to note that the african revolutionary movement has better relations with russia than with france. mister shaw, while we know that during his 1st term he had shunned cameroon. it is a surprising, a new thing on the part of those westerners who thought they had domesticated a space, which is considered the french meadow. he comes to the continent because there is geo politics in the world that no longer puts france on the dominant point in the space that was completely subject to it are subjugated. do not forget that since the start of russia's special military operation in ukraine. there are dynamics,

in terms of global geopolitics that force westerners, led by the u. s. and nato, to reconsider their previous positions with regard to certain regions in countries . he was therefore forced to come to a country that was cameroon, classified as the heart of french africa, to renegotiate with president b on how we can reconnect to things being as before, but unfortunately, times have change the visit of sir gale of rav as a very good thing because he participates in multi polar diplomacy. we're tired of unipolar diplomacy, but especially of this desire of neo liberal capitalism to completely crush the peoples who have only expressed a sacred principle that is in the rights of the un. that is to say, the right of people to self determination, ah, germany's plan to transfer weapons to other european countries that in turn would supply ukraine, appears to be facing hurdles with our eyes blaming each other for protracted talks and delays. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman has said that countries supplying ukraine should be held responsible for war crimes committed by the countries

nationalist battalions for the war crimes committed by the ukrainian offices and nationalists battalions, the killing of civilians, women, the elderly and children, the destruction of civilian infrastructure including bridges, e u, sponsors should bear the same responsibility as to key for she. marizza roba has also accused the you of calling for peace as it escalates the war by supplying weapons to ukraine. the west, ignoring the fact that many of the arms are then used by care to strike civilian targets. according to the latest official reports, both the e u and the u. s. have sent over $10000000000.00 worth of military aid to ukraine. since the war erupted, we've talked to people in italy and spain, who believed that their government's actions only exacerbate the crisis. italy, as again in crisis from a political point of view. absolutely. we are not a country that can afford to support a war. neither in economic terms nor in social and civil terms,

our constitution repudiate war. i repeat it. i believe that we must develop actions to end the war, not to make it continue. i believe that european countries and my country, italy should not give ukraine more weapons. because of what i find absolutely scandalous is the enormous increase in the military budget in a situation of generalized crisis that we all find ourselves. a huge increase in the military budget. and this is to satisfy the wishes of nato. for the e. u has been feeling the conflict for a long time. i know the history, i have heard about what has been happening in ukraine since 2014. i know that don bass lugens can all the territories where the russian speaking population lives, which has been suffering for 8 years, were constantly bomb. and i don't think that the e u sending weapons to the country leads to conflict mitigation courses. i believe that trying to stop the war with the instruments of war is not the best way because

it seems to me that europe has already proved that it has other international instruments to stop the war. i mean, diplomatic and other methods, but i don't think guns against guns is the way out. and yes, i think that the war would have already ended if europe was looking for an alternative solution. most political commentators, john brick, mont, believe european leaders don't care about civilians being killed by the weapons they are providing. well, i think the thought was in the beginning was to have a change in victory, as i said, the collapse of the russian economy. and i was not to be so good the so think and so that we get their story for them and for the king and they don't care about city . and so anyway, using did you think that they care about a hack into here? ok, mother. i mean, he gave on the about things that a vote in the west, but it's not going to be enrolled in the west because people are in the us. nobody knows about it. people don't care about it. what people make, as i say, is nicolette consequence of the war. but it was even going to be consequences.

don't play, and people say with any due to the war is due to the reasons, et cetera. which is about the tool a little more interesting the whole of, you know, of the war. and so the, there is no position to the wilson way with these for the dish and in the, with the couldn't care less about them. a people are get and 3 more injured after a fire tears through the ground floor of a moscow residential building. rachel blevins reports from the scene were here outside of this hostile here in the southeast part of moscow, where a fire broke out just after midnight. local time, so far, authorities are saying that 8 people have been pronounced dead and that at least 3 people are being treated for injuries. now when it comes to the fire, they say that it was likely due to some sort of an electrical malfunction.

witnesses on the scene have said that they heard some sort of a loud bang before a fire broke out. we live on the 2nd floor and i woke up to the sound of explosions from the 1st. it was like fireworks were going off. i looked out of the window and there was thick smoke pouring from above. there were lots of explosions. i ran into the hallway and told the neighbors that the building was on fire. the amount of victims may be due to the fact that there were bars on the windows. people tried to knock them out. there could be many reasons for the fire. now this is a 16 story building. however, that fire did break out on the 1st floor. and it looks as though it was able to be contained largely to just the 1st floor with some residents being taken care of from the 2nd floor as well. now as far as the cause of death, its being reported that it was likely due to carbon monoxide poisoning. that the people who were here on the 1st floor that they were unable to get out due to the bars on the windows. and that in addition to that, while there was

a fire alarm in place, reports are saying that it did not go off as land by state. the fact that there were bars on the windows, that's why evacuation was impossible. in this situation, the main cause of death is the fact that there were bars on the windows. the last inspection of the building was carried out in june this year, after which recommendations were issued. the investigative team cannot yet say what caused the fire. everything will be established after the prob asked for the identities of those people of those casualties. those have yet to be released. however, reports are saying that there were likely a number of migrant staying here. again, this is here in the southeast part of town in moscow. and so far, the fire has been contained and emergency services are responding are the senior situation. thank you for tuesday, and that's all for this hour. make sure to tune and for some great documentaries, and check out our social media pages on twitter and instagram from our contact.

ah, ah, with

ah, 5 months in the conflict in ukraine is turned into a vicious cycle of escalation encounter escalation. the more the west arms cube, the more ambitious moscow's battlefield aims become on top of this give wants the west to essentially underwrite its entire military and now economy. this is like pouring in. good money after bad. mm mm unit 731. did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a field. mm hm. we have evidence that.
