is to look for common ground with officials of the self proclaimed the public, of course, of this phone, a plan to make certain obtained permission to enter that as the serbian, nita suppresses belgrade from 10 to defend his countrymen with all i can say is that we will ask for peace, but i will tell you right away there will be no surrender. and serbia will when ha, that's in the city populated north. silent guns also reported as it pertains to set up barricades while police closed crossings connecting it to mainland serbia.

winter with coming germans call for the north. been to pipeline to be opened ahead of an expected to viet energy shortage. as you have interest it's cold is parked with a lot of money. has been invested in north stream too. and i was just lying around . i think if we put the pipeline into operation, that is much gas could flow as we need avoid harming your own people. open nord 3 and 2 and allegations of frances national news agencies supporting fascism blow up on social media after a recent twitter post by 8th key and bout to crane the contained nasty symbols with hello and welcome to international coming to live for my studios here in moscow, i'm policy and for me and the team everyone. welcome on this the 1st day of august

. authorities in the cell for came for public, of course, over have postponed controversial plan that would have made subs for quiet entry permits until september the 1st. that's the med turmoil in so populated areas with belgrade saying that the breakaway republic plans to start police operations day. so the president has court for a de escalation, but earlier stressed that the rights of serbs must be protected system. one with all i can say is that we will ask for peace, but i will tell you right away there will be no surrender. and serbia will when if they try to start persecuting the serbs, bullying the serbs, killing the serbs. serbia will win. oh, video circulating online reportedly from cost of shows police on the move off to closing to checkpoint, linking of the breakaway region with main man, serbia of to so protest is set up road blocks police of came that they were shot at

but suffered no casualties. while serbia denies any involvement due to the large amount of misinformation that the preaching administration intentionally puts on the air and that is being spread through fake accounts on social networks and certain websites. the ministry of defense states that the serbian army has not crossed the administrative line and has not in any way entered the territory of kosovo and met a here. oh, simon's a hood in the northern city of mitrovica, where if mixed syrup and albanian populations are divided by a river in italy, peacekeeping force in the region is seen in the city and says it's ready to intervene in the 10th situation. the recent term, while in the contested region began off to plans were announced to ban serbian kava restoration from august the 1st and to make subs entering the region require

permits. all the plans have now been postponed until september. vladimir chris leon, an acer politician and diplomat. gives us his take on the origins of the dispute and how it can be solved peacefully. it's based in authority's lab by, by, by the, by, i want to die. who is attempting to do misuse the moment when russia and b is not lies. the most popular in the west, so he probably expected that he's unilateral actions will be let go and won't be prevented. the west is very,

very successful in ukraine. so another france would be another risk for them. and prime minister of so called the independent clause. so is no loan for ease, extreme is approaches and is not always completely obedient to the washington and the was at least not in an expense which we used to see with his predecessors. we still have to be call shows and, and to, to see how the, how this situation will develop in the coming days. the last

stepping point between belgrade and christina was nearly one year ago when the self proclaimed public also ban costs would still be an license plate and deployed forces on its northern border with mainland serbia. back then, both sides managed to settle the dispute cost of her unilaterally declared its independence back in 2008 that many countries, including russia, china's spain and serbia do not recognize this. the international community has been quick to react to the escalation in serbia. nato has always stressed its readiness to intervene in the country with the you foreign policy chief stating that the european block will help to regulate the conflict. open issues should be address 3 you facilitated dialogue and focus on comprehensive normalization of relations between cosco and serbia. essential for their you integration, pulse, the kosovo forces prepared to intervene if stability is jeopardized in the north of kosovo. nato also continues to fully support the normalization process between

pristine and belgrade, through the u. facilitated dialogue and calls all parties to continue negotiations . the cost of a force will take whatever measures are necessary to keep us safe and secure environment in kosovo at all time in line with its un mandate. so been american journalist and blogger, and abortion mileage things that the you has no rights to dictate its position for serbia, given that some of the blocks member states do not even recognize the self proclaimed cost of a public. you appointed itself sort of a legal guardian of kosovo with this whole legal mission. they technically delegate the viceroy there that the un viceroy. but the irony of the situation is the burrell comes from spain and spain is one of the 5 e u member states that did not recognize, called civil the e. you honestly cannot brokerage this because they've already said their bottom line is, serbia must recognize, kosovo. but 5, you members themselves do not. so the block is really sort of in

a paradoxical position and they don't have a leg to stand on. and besides, everybody in the region as well as elsewhere knows that the albanians answer directly to the us. and it's really the americans didn't want to negotiate with, in order to resolve the conflict. and so you, you basically have the service and the albany is locked in the neutral struggle. and then you have the u. s. and russia as sort of, you know, big brothers on both sides and there's currently obviously very strong proxy conflict between them and the balkans risks getting dragged into that because of the crisis in ukraine. and that further complicates things when time is coming, as the entity crisis hits countries across europe prior to the coldest part of the yet residents of germany's largest island, we act to the hope of the north into pipeline calling for to be put into operation . oh, and i have some questions for germany's government and the you,

what problems do you have with russia, a war crimes country you say? in that case, you should also have the same problems with the us. where do we want to get gas from? then saudi arabia, that's a dictatorship to the power of 3. we might as well not do that. so avoid harming your own people. open nord stream to and then it's all good. last minute and a lot of money has been invested in nord stream too. and now it's just lying around in russia and germany just have to find a compromise and talk to each other. that's always the case. i think there's no other way. so i think i do think that the north stream to pipeline has to be completed. a lot of money has gone into it, including from our state and i am of the opinion that it should be put into operation. we're always talking about the gas crisis and we're always told that the gas crisis was caused by others. i don't see that way. i think if we put the pipeline into operation,

that is match gas could flow as we need building than printer. we don't have you gotten elsewhere. gemini, the city of hanover has cut off hot water and public buildings in fear of a shortage of gas during the season. when buildings for quiet hunting. it comes as gas fun with. he says, ne, one pipeline capacity to m. yes. of its total due to siemens refusing to return a turbine in, in the process, delivering less gas to europe as the energy situation between russia and the e intensifies of the ukraine crisis. the pipeline is a major move for russian gas to europe. meanwhile, environmental activists are concerned that a rush to buy firewood in the netherlands could lead to deterioration in equality statistics. so sales of wood stoves have increased by around 30 percent. as many people fear energy prices could skyrocket. one in for land shops are expected to close for several hours each day for winter energy saving purposes.

europe, however, is not the only continent in the throes of an energy crisis. with more and more south asian countries now being severely hit, bought say that the prices for woodson further artes rachel blevins, looks at the energy situation in some of the world's poorest economies. energy costs continue to saw around the world. and while europe and the u. s. are typically in the spotlight. the growing crisis is making conditions even worse for the nations in south asia. take bangladesh, for example, which has been forced to schedule power coats for its residents. the developing nation relies heavily on energy imports from the middle east, and it is feeling the crushing combination of increased prices and decrease supply and energy isn't the only cost rising with inflation soaring to its highest points as 2013, the country's economy continues to struggle and 100 have taken to the streets to protest against their government and its response to the crisis.

ah, the international monetary fund has said it's considering offering bangladesh alone that will feel like temporary relief. and it has also said at sites on true longer, which has already seen its share of nass protests that saw some officials flee from the country and right on cue, the last, sri lankan president angered the public when he didn't agree to another deal from the i and math, but sri lanka, new leader says he has made a deal and he's hoping it will help address the current economic crisis that has seen inflation sore to over 60 percent. to avoid even more protests like the ones the country has already seen. ah

and even even due to the economic crisis, it is impossible to live in tr longer if there were better political leaders. this wouldn't have happened. that eminem. there is no income for my family these days. so i decided to send my son to the middle east so he can have a better life there. i'm unemployed at the moment, but i used to have a hotel. i have 2 children and i don't know how to feed them. 1 may wonder if sri lanka will be able to get out of his current debt crisis with the help of an organization that has long been accused of signing off on predatory loans for developing nations. the situation involves more than just money and at a time line supply is already tight. the world food program says that the remaining petrol reserves and tree longer are not enough to help the nation survive sri lanka,

which is also struggling to gain access to fuel. as, as economic struggles have led to concerns about whether it can keep up with the payments, remaining petrol reserves will likely be insufficient to meet normal needs. the situation has impacted almost all aspects of daily life boarding people's ability to find and go to work and interrupting schools and government services. i and then there's pakistan which is phasing many of the same problems as its economy struggles amid surgeon cost. inflation is over 20 percent there, and the government announces weak that it would be forced to raise energy prices in order to stay on pace with power generation cost impact is being felt by millions of pakistani this cost of living crisis is tipping millions of people into poverty and even starvation at breath taking speed. and with that, the threat of increased social unrest grows by the day. as a result,

those rising prices continue to hit some of the poorest economies in asia from all sides, with many fearing that the impact will be felt by millions for years and years to come jump is you're right now is suffering from a severe energy crisis. i was, there's a crisis of the price of imported oil and imported gas protect it. liquefied natural gas l n g. the reason for the high prices is 2 fold. one is the economies of the world recovering from coverage they, we should sweat the well to live with that terrible downturn quite apart from the health issue and no revival, but combined, combined with the war and ukraine. the sanctions which are very important, both by western countries. so this has so called collective west to model i and

this is how to disastrous effect on price. ah, american farms may long no longer be around in the near future, triggering skyrocketing food prices and u. s. supermarkets and into the pockets of american households. want to know why. well, watch the u. s. farm crisis documentary on r t today. oh, we raised a corn and soybeans here. so some issues that are different this year than in years past is that with all the things going on the world today are input cos have almost doubled. mm hm. it's going to be really hard for everybody to keep going on will make it solid, won't our current laid president is miami, russia for that to your gas company is, are going to get blamed for the problem,

but they are not the problem. so biden really chant blamed booting for causing the problem because he himself caused the problem in book prices have already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen. what we need to do, you know, what united states need to do is start drill, or how do we get we can drill for oil. and for some reason our government thinks that we should be using our own oil, which is crazy. ah, president vladimir putin has stated that the russian hypersonic massage, con, well seen being used by the countries armed forces. this is their con, will be delivered to the guided missile for gate. admirable ghost, cough lay you. she knew she annella go to meet the latest. your con,

hypersonic missile systems should be noted, have no analogs in the world for which there are no obstacles there. delivery to the russian armed forces will begin in the coming months. so con is a hypersonic anti ship cruise missile with a top speed of 3 kilometers per 2nd. the missile can hit various targets, including those, both at land and at sea, and is reported to travel at 9 times the speed of sound with a maximum range of approximately 1000 kilometers. how fast does it take to so contribution target? well, it will take 11 seconds for their con to cross from the west of moscow to its eastern end. so con is able to cover the distance of 600 kilometers in 3 minutes. and that's approximately the distance between berlin and vienna, former pentagon security policy analysts, michael maloof, believes that the introduction of the 0 con,

into the russian feet changes the strategic balance of power. i think it changes the whole strategic order of things. and, and what i'm particularly concerned about is the fact that it's also a submarine capable that you could actually then put the submarines wrote off of both close, close to the united states. this sounds very, very, very strong message show. think go to washington, that they've got to stop this confrontation and containment idea. and as long as they continue doing the, the new, the, the nato, a push toward the federation. i think this kind of a weapon system could be deployed right off of the west coast. it's a very, very serious development. and i think the pentagon is quite concerned about it. meanwhile, frances national news agency has been slammed on social media for allegedly supporting fascism and trying to whitewash key of sympathy for neo nazi groups.

that comes after we some twitter post by the 8th p. a post describing the ukranian president's core for evacuation of civilians from the dumbass region was accompanied by a photo that included a coffin with a wolf fungal displayed prominently wilsonville was the ambulance of various german nazi military units during world war 2. and it's still, he's globally by far wife. oops. today many people have voice concerns about western media posting such pictures from ukraine. mission impossible. find a picture from ukraine without a nazi symbol. if b, y, are you casually displaying not to assemble some the coffins of death ukrainian troops without comment? seems you guys are blind? the picture quoted in the article clearly has a nazi as of symbol over the coffin. very shocking and world war 2. you fought the nazis, and in 2022, you support them. there's been

a growing defense of ukraine's near nazi group. some wisdom, media outlets since the beginning of the conflict in ukraine. and that's despite earlier reports by the we c, e and the you in about the atrocities committed by these units. radio host and political commentators, steve jill says western media is obsessed with taking sides in the ukraine conflict . i think the western media has been all in and paging the ukranian side of this conflict as being the good guys and, and russia being evil in the process while ignoring the videos and the pictures of, of not just the regiment with the coffin, but also just pure swastika flags has been proud the held up by a, by some of these militia, i think it's just part and parcel of, of the us media, taking aside in this conflict rather than reporting the facts reporting what's actually going on propaganda that's been such a big part of this war,

don't you want the american and western media to know what those folks are waving as they go into these battles? who, who they are aligned with? the irish president has been urged to clarify the countries start from the war ukraine, or felicia from his wife on the situation was met with a public outcry. sabina higgins has called for peace negotiations, a position which i think you country said just a few months ago. that however, now contradicts the width and the islands narrative that russia is solely to blame, shore to criticize and irish times it toil saying that she was close, disappointed that it did not encourage any sci fi, a talks at my feet to a positive settlement. the 1st lady's remarks have been made by condemnation from within her own country. mrs. higgins is entitled to her personal opinion and to express it, although i believe that she is totally wrong to try to see an equivalent in the positions of ukraine and russia. it is incumbent on the president of ireland to now

express, clearly the strong support of the people of ireland for the people of ukraine, independent journalists, jason michael, things that island which is not part of nato is still under pressure to follow the width perspective on the wall and align itself with ukraine. we have to bear in mind, ireland is not aligned, it's not natal member. it's neutral by its constitution. but there is a great deal of political pressure in island for some kind of alignment with natal at this time. and that is growing, but it's not supported by public opinion. it was also quite shocking. the reaction from the, the political and the media establishment, an island which would certainly draw a picture, or it being almost an act of treason or sedition. or for anyone in public life to ask for a cease fire and peace. really, the irish political establishment is out of touch with the irish people. and

michael de higgins and his wife are very much in tune with the opinions of irish people. meanwhile, on the front line, a further to the next civilian have been maimed by band, anti personal minus that crane has been dropping on the city. according to the local mayor ortiz move right, god's fear support from the embattled vision. over the past several weeks, a lull has settled over the dawn bass, which is relative off the series of breakthroughs, russian and allied forces are rotating regrouping, and rearming, especially rearming. on the outskirts of the city of solid up, we have stumbled upon this graveyard, a graveyard of empty munitions crates for russian multiple rocket launcher systems

. in the course of this conflicts ukrainian nationalists and troops have learned to philip russian artillery. and in this aspect, in this regard, russia has demonstrated total superiority day and night artillery pounds away at ukrainian positions. you can tell where the front lines lay, just by sound alone. that is the sound of a full chavo of grad multiple rocket launcher systems. far in the waves that ukrainian positions which are entirely too close up on that hill over the left are ukrainian forces. both those are the destinations, you may hear them now. it is not entirely one sided. ukrainian artillery answers

back often blindly through the village of like the men of good was liberated almost intact after weeks and weeks of endless ukrainian shelling. it is a battered shell of what it was. ah, the booms and blasts of artillery exchanges are ceaseless. they are drowned out only by the roar of jets. ah! ah! these are suit 25 ground attack air craft due to an abundance of anti air

defenses on both sides. they fly extremely low meters above the ground, rearing up only to launch their attacks. that done, they deploy fledged and miss direct any heat seeking missiles launched their way and in the midst of it, all, the infantry marchers on the squad is moving out to secure newly captured positions . scant kilometers from the city of solider city, that ukrainian troops and nationalists have turned into a fortress where i'd gaz the of party from glades even of cur. the nets, people's republic events, mary laughing as to the end of the news for the sour. we'll be back with you in 30 minutes with an update, but of course you can always head to our website at id to come for more timely updates. thanks so much for joining us.

oh. what he 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 successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah ah

ah with mm welcome to well, the pride when the american rolled in pakistan support then driving the soviets out of afghanistan, they quietly look be either way to allow islam about to put the finishing touches to nuclear bomb. fast forward some 40 years and the same actors, the same powers as loggerheads yet again,

this time in the ukraine who's president earlier this year. and now he's countries intention to develop again, it's new player military capability. what the americans look away yet again, if it's worth to undermine moscow? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a sub dirani, former director general of pakistan's into services intelligence. mr. jeremy, thank you very much for your time. it's a great honor for me to talk to you a little come. now you were in charge of pakistan's intelligence services in the early 1991, the soviet union collapsed and a few years before that, i'm sure you're witness them. the follow the so we pull out from afghanistan, when you now hear western analysts compared the current operation to current russian operation, ukraine to you know, the previous one in afghanistan. and some of them, i think, predicting the consequences will be the same that russia will be.
