yes, to shave out an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds of warren, we choose to look for common ground. the mainstream narrative on ukraine get shaken up by the un, which had missed that many more refugees had been crossing into russia than having works as a you implement seats, emergency plant slash gas consumption by 15 percent to compensate for the energy crisis and austria and presidential candidate house or t, but europe, policy of sanctions against russia, with the leg that is get to frantic and that is what's currently characterized as the european elite get to the south. africa won't be pushed around message from the

countries talk. zip lamazzo, she blogged to american counterparts, efforts to convince for toria to edward's times with russia in china this year that we exist under some push is i think it totally really unfounded. the news many thanks for joining us here on the international. we're coming to live from moscow with the latest world news update. now we start with our developing story and crimea, russian defense ministry, se several asian bones have detonated us and military stockpile as an air failed in russia's crimea. officials say this site was not fired on and no casualties have been reported so far. earlier, ambulance crews on medical flights that was said to have been dispatched to the scene. the head of crimea is also that to monitor the situation in person. there

were also reports of sofa in the and mobile communication disruptions in the area. the parts of crimea where the explosions about the tape is a popular tourist destination. moving on for now the us has revealed that only $3000000.00 ukranian refugees have crossed into russia since the thought of the military operation in february without figure flies in the face of the mainstream. with the narrative which came moscow is an enemy of kias. in fact, the number of ukrainians who fled west into neighboring poland is much smaller at only around 1000000, with more on what's being called the hypocritical western coverage of the reality on the ground. he's all he's rachel blevins. the same western media outlets that acted as if the current conflict between russia and ukraine started only this february, are now starting to acknowledge that the ties are much more complicated than they care to explain up until this point. the message has always been that the ukrainian

people were against any sort of russian leadership and wanted to clear cut ties between themselves and their neighbor. however, here's cnn's new report waiting and waiting families, possessions, loading them down, pull, crossing to the russian, occupied territory. as a cnn reporter described, dozens of cars were traveling into russian controlled areas, and the traffic was heavily one sided and was some people who were interviewed claim. they planned to return the possessions family members and even pets they took with them suggested otherwise. while the reality may come, as a surprise to some in the west ukrainian soldiers on the ground in the eastern parts of the country have admitted that some residents aren't happy to see them saying they're waiting for the day when russian forces take control. instead with cool, and he's not the only one other soldiers on the ground claim residence in eastern

ukraine, we're actively helping the russian side by giving them information to see global i'm to see amended loom of pollution. but this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows the region in its history. nearly 40 percent of the people in the don bass are ethnically, russian, making them the largest minority in the region. and it's the eastern regions of ukraine, where the majority of the population list russian as their native language have traditionally voted for pro russian parties and saw pro russian rallies after the key of coo and 2014. meanwhile, the united nation says that nearly $2000000.00 refugees from ukraine have gone to russia since the start of the year. but despite claims for the pentagon earlier this year, the moscow was deporting civilians from ukraine and forcing them to come to russia . some of the residents on the ground tell a different story, roth,

with even for those who remain in ukraine, a strict curfew is in place and some eastern cities and zelinski secret service has recently stepped up the hunt for anyone the view as a traitor or a russian collaborator, ah, in fact zalinski seems to be finding collaborators by the hundreds lately. and last month he announced more than $650.00 criminal treason cases against individuals within his prosecutor's office, and the secret service. but as on ski ramps up his targeting of anyone who speaks the russian language or appears pro russian in any way,

he turns the ukrainian government into the very thing that both crimea and don bass originally flood from in 2014, no matter how hard the media has work to cover up his treatment of the citizens who see the russian forces as bringing an end to the regime that they have lived under for the last 8 years. ah, europe, that energy policy towards russia is get the front $8000.00 according to wall street and presidential candidates. gerald gross speaking to all t. o, he says the you with pinning the blame for its energy crisis on most go. instead of it may think that you were up the own sanctions all to blame. mr. gross also broke down the situation for local media last week. see me. see, boy, angel, mc, burn, seaboard, take me home for my company and i cannot do without energy on the one hand and then complain about the lack of energy and fear of black out on the other speak of the devil. and the devil shows that he gets

a friend and that is what currently characterizes the european. he gets a friend. yes. and if they are in favor of sanctions against russia, on the one hand, they are waging their economic war against russia because of a military conflict. in reality, does not affect europe in any way. and on the other hand, they complain about the reaction to the economic war. namely, the lack of gas. no gas is not only used for heating, but gas from russia, which we have received for the last 50 years, is also used to secure the electricity supply. this means that if we want to secure the supply of electricity on the european continent, then we must also envy economic sanctions against russia and tried to restore a reasonably satisfactory solution for the people through diplomacy. as congress, the year we have implemented its energy emergency plan, according to the measures, the blokes members ought to reduce gas consumption by 15 percent on a voluntary basis until the end of march next year. the goal is to say 45000000000

cubic meters of gas, creating the option of falling back on reserves in case of a shortage. however, hungary has refused to play a long while. several other countries, including italy and spain have secured exemptions, meaning they can spend more gas than others. this coming winter, it seems like a slow motion car crash here in france already. for example, we're seeing public officials using the engineer gas shortage as an excuse to reduce public services. now, public swimming pools, both near paris and in the south of france, have made news recently when local governments said that they were shutting them down. for the rest of the summer to save money, the mayor of catherine. yes. which is in the south of france said the high costs now mean that she has to choose between purchases like organic food for kids, school lunches or the pool. so the pool got the axe during one of the hottest summers on record. so you can see the ball is already rolling on rationing, even in anticipation of a shortage later this year. and we haven't even begun to see where the knock on

effects might pop up. now to make matters worse, norway, which is otherwise known as europe's battery, produces hydro electric energy that it typically exports to the u and to the u. k. but now it's saying that because it's lacking water because of the dry and, and heat, it now feels that it won't be able to step up and help with exports this year. and just when you think that things couldn't possibly get a worse, the financial times is now reporting european utility companies like francis energy giant, who they f are sounding the alarm over radioactive, contamination of liquefied natural gas deliveries from britain to the u. i originally sourced from the u. s. same cutter. the problem could to cause pipelines between britain and the e to close. and the new york times is reporting that the looming energy crisis is

causing germany to reconsider and nuclear energy. a power source over which berlin has absolutely lambasted paris for maintaining. so i guess better, send gretta timber over there to yell at them. maybe perhaps she can beat zalinski in a streaming match. because really all of this economic and environmental harm, including refusal to fire up the north stream to pipeline, which let's face, it's just sitting there, gathering dust is being done in the name of ukraine. i say, yes, the government rules it out. we face difficult months ahead, but it is clear that we stand firmly on the side of ukraine and we stand behind the sanctions that we agreed together with the european union in the international community. and noticed europeans who are suffering, but also folks in the global south. europe is also apparently dragging along countries like pakistan and bangladesh behind the energy price roller coaster. the fact that emerging countries in south asia, like pakistan, for example,

are currently experiencing one power blackout after the other is also a consequence of europe's failed energy policy in its attempt to free itself from its dangerous dependency on russia. record speed, the u is causing massive turbulence on the global energy markets, which had 4 countries particularly hard. but at least europe is united, right? well, maybe not counting those opting out from the gas cuts or poland, which wants the rest of europe to keep their hands off polish. guess russian president vladimir putin may not be quaking in his boots at all this stellar competence, but europeans sure might be as winter approaches. 3 palestinians including athenian militant commander, have been killed as he's waiting for his way to the house in the occupied westbank city of nicholas as, according to the palestinian health ministry. oh hey, some of the latest footage from the c the,

the violence comes off to receive 5 brought an end to 3 days of arms clashes between his well on the islamic jihad millicent group in garza, according to the idea of the fall and clash in the west bank developed when dozens of palestinian riots is 3 stones on the explosives that israeli forces. lithonian red crescent say that it's doctors had treated 69 gun shop victims and then no police area, but at least 4 of them in critical condition. and here's the latest footage from doors are showing the aftermath of israeli as strikes of the ravaged residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure. that is where the officials claim that as strikes were aimed to preventing rocket attacks by the islamic jihad group, palestinian officials say that over $600.00 buildings have been damaged with dozens killed on hundreds wounded gall. the hospitals are still overflowing with civilian casualties. the south africa won't be pushed around as, according to the country's foreign affairs minister to the us secretary of state

trying to convince pretoria to sever ties with russia and china and said south africa talk diplomat has raised concerns that those who are using the countries natural resources on the stabilizing the region. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally really unfounded a belief in the relationship that we have with eva country is also a concern about countries that have mineral interests in african countries. and as a destabilizing full. so i think we need to look at the full thought of problems that give rise to insecurity, bad governance. and the absence of democracy on the african continent. it's not a one country problem. this comes in the us secretary of state, visits to south africa, responsible tour of the region on the blink,

and will also visit the democratic republic of congo and bewanda will. during the trip, lincoln is blamed. the food christ is in africa on the war in ukraine are called for stronger u. s. partnership with african countries as nibbling can visit comes when i talk to the russian foreign minister receive. they will welcome in several countries in the region last week. coinciding with the visit, the white house has released a documents detailing its new strategy towards subs harboring regions. the plan promote us involvement in african nations policies, including issues such as pandemic, climate change, and food insecurity. and will blink and stacy with won't tell africa how to behave . it also shows washington is not happy with the continence ties with russia and china. the people's republic of china by contrast, see the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. and we can us relations with african peoples and governments. russia views the region as a permissive environment for paris deals and private military companies,

often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. us accusations, however, have not prevented deepening ties as china is now, south africa's biggest trading partner was going to trade with the country is also on the rise with monthly export from russia. this january growing more than 4 times compared to the same period of last year. however, jo oldman, host of the conservative daily podcast, say that the us who holds responsibility for the stabilizing the continent. i don't think the u. s. is every 2nd to sovereignty of other nations. when they talk about the stipulation, they can look no further themselves. and the sad part about what the u. s says, it's just a bunch of rhetoric and look, i'm an american, and i'm proud to be an american, but the apparatus within the u. s. government has long been a de stabilizing force and almost putting out, you know, african, a place where they can't grow, they can't excel at the same rate that other countries across the world are growing . and that has a lot more to do with their natural resources. and how they can get access to the

resources. so no, i don't believe they respect the sovereignty of any decisions that they make. and i and i, i'm actually fearful that it's going to become a tug of war and the people of those african native, 54 nations are the ones that are going to suffer. and the african nation specially south africa does not trust the united states. many nations don't trust united states, i don't think anything the united states does right now will be seen as anything other than a grand standing and making empty promises that they will near the future not be able to deliver on meanwhile, and can you all live on the local elections, which are in full swing voters, one of africa, longest economies, choose a new president to bring a hotly contested race to a close. a correspondent pool asleep reports when the ground many station in kenya around 22000000 people are eligible to vote in these elections with the issues contraption on poverty, unemployment, and corruption. the main reason as to why that when these a,

these they make sure one, they call the mixed it as the speedy for, you know, accounting. secondly, we have one for this a, let's you him to have in mind that a pretty id will do. we are lacking that our country has been affected vastly by this a drug called corruption. corruption is what does kill to this country? because you see we have a laurel view, my, a lot of natural resources in this country, but because the of it corruption antibodies, a plan where more than a 1000000 people survive on a dollar a day election posters. it's promising change every way that many hotels complaint it's the usual empty promises from those vying for the top office. so who are the main faces in this race? after we submit and coding, the latest figures gave rayna, i think the leader of the opposition a clear lead. this is his 2nd bid for the presidency,

and he's supported by the house going to place it in, or who kenyatta. opposing him is william wooten, who appeals to the masses of frustration, young people, most of them who just want to get ahead. trays on his rags to which the story that he once told chickens on the side of the road, and is to day one of the wealthiest men in the country. but it's not going to be as easy for the new president to solve the issues. now will be, for example, is the largest and most important financial business and consultation had in east africa with most of the trade destined for western countries. who had the unmarked kenya, not only as a vital trading continent, also a source of stability in a volatile region. the waste, connors, at an anxious time with a conflict in ukraine pandemic, the worst drought canyon has placed in 14 years. and the waste,

looking in the background, we will see how the new president deals with all of this on his shoulders. policy a r, t nairobi tenure. but it's not across life. so i guess sham. a gun, bay canyon political analyst. many thanks for joining us on. the program is good to see and now send the economy is sent to stage with can you're facing growing inflation? do you expect the results of this boat to somehow turn the tide? it definitely definitely. yes, this is election is going to be a timing point. oh, there can an economy one because of a 2 main reasons. one is the death issue that additional has been a challenge because it is a lot of taxation that will be done like fish. and that makes the close of business quite hard. and, you know, pushing model enterprises and to he's got option and what i get of the confidence

on the ground. the feeling that we did make sure that every, every top contender i've instructed, used for option b to b. c doesn't have the issue of you know, the cost of living affected by, among other things. most of you, it looks like there's a lot of all of the next upcoming in non mother mother alondra days baby. the contest between the front runner as the deputy president william tow and opposition leader in former prime minister rayleigh. i think it's been framed is house list versus dennis these what you'll take on that i think that is true because it is propagated by one of the actual candidates and that is

not because of the story from rags to reach if but i think in the best of my medicaid and wives can, i'm so intelligent and they look more into the issue of the economy and the issue as we are in the country that lack trusting selection. you've been lack tubs, you need structure the diffusion because the pattern ality, the people and the, the next one is less money. and more the people they look at. what is the truck loading? i mean, by the what you know, i've been doing now, and i've been in reason why, you know,

fighting the game of the william till being the narrative of the level thing by then was part of more you've got stated. and i've only been mentioned in one on the other, so it can not be jewish. and on the ground that it is you have to be that is a single candidate, not you. the ground is very, depend on me, isn't a general feeling, but other parts of the country other than you know, who read down. so they would have a chance to lead that has not been is in 60 as an independent residence on one because i well can, you know, he isn't

a very important african hub for the west. so given is heavy ties with the west. why is the country's economy become such a problem? yes, or the economy and the challenge with, you know, the west and are in the in president connectors administration. a lot of chinese improved amy's loans and chinese infrastructure. what i see and, and we the potential residents of either with them or a load finger. he's working towards strengthening ties with them to his so strongly a promised speaker who talks about, you know, our independence and bark that we really want to be what we started at another one to control the config situation. but

i see a possibility where our economy collaboration, real cut now in not just, you know, targeting sta be countries public. this is because we feel like in doesn't make most of them. and if there has been instances where or involve christian as being one sided where they collaborate has been a bit more. but i think who need of lee mentioned that they would only collaborate. we that, you know, any country that gives that. but in the middle of the board, but not out there. and that for him to be more told when it

comes to the from a prime minister. right? or a din guy, he's run for the presidency for other times never succeeded, not giving up. if you think it's going to be 5th time lucky. yes, definitely. i have a lot of confidence. i'm 100 percent confident residency up this time. the mood underground is equally depend. this election will probably have the lowest time, not the highest tips from communities other than maybe one or 2 and the lowest tension. and the reason for the lowest tension is the confidence that the country in one electro diamond to the will of the people would not be a candidate for times before. and in those 4 times, the only didn't contest once every time he believed that

the most unfair and this time with the baby, then there are a lot of confidence amongst the no one would have the influence of machinery to the people of president the, you know, being announced a model behind came political analicia and a good day. many thanks for speaking to us. we really appreciate your insight. ah fresh with it. your pony showing key of trips dropping a bomb on russian soldiers is spreading on pro ukrainian social media accounts. a warning you might find the following images distressing. the verified video appears to show russian troops moving into retrieve a body from the battlefield. a bomb is then dropped directly onto them from a drone. they sold the theme. scattering from the effects of the blog is not clear,

if any of them will kill if finished, and if he honors put a cove in her reports from on bass told us that such military actions are aimed at provoking a tough response from russia. oh, i'm for sure. okay, continue, and what we see here and what we have witnessed for 8 years, a series of publications against russian population. and of course, these kind of events, they are new for roches, but they are not new here for us, for people who don't list and where we are. we have faith, all kind of provocation, but yes, this video was absolutely brutal, absolutely discussing. and and of course against all laws, all moral ethics, what can be what we see here, what we have witnessed here from the february that the the raja is doing a very careful sticks. rary o, lee, me, the operation with limited goals and the other side is waiting
