for a year with this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing position. so what is this? if not, prove that ukrainians, you civilian houses as bad cover? ukrainian nationalists forces are again accused of using civilians. and don bos as human shields as an r t crew visits the front line with the wagner private military group. german officials warranted by possible social on which could be worse. they say that the protest over the cold with electricity prices are already 5 times higher than a year ago. in the horn of africa,

kenya faces political uncertainty as the count underway in the presidential election amounts. in addition to a growing terrorist threat in the region, we report from the country and a rising power house. india is on course to be the fastest growing asian economy in 2022, 23. that is, according to global market analysis, will apply reaction up to with 5 pm here in moscow this friday, august. the 12th, my name is unit oneal. this is then use our on our team. we begin with the latest from the frontline and on past the russian defense ministry. se ukrainian brigade has lost more than 2000 troops in the past 24 hours. the fighting up near a city in the done yet script public. the m o day also essays, another brigade lost 70 per cent of 8 strips. and one ukrainian battalion was said

to have refused to fight and retreated from the battle on a high precision missile strike. also killed up to 100 ukrainian nationalists like kansas russian fruits continue to make advances in the done yet people's republic. they are pushing towards the key strategic city of arch mosque. among the advancing forces is a private russian military company called the wagner group, r t z graduate down for granted a rare opportunity to join them and also to look up the abundant positions of ukrainian trip to continue official say to use local there as human shields. several years ago, many weren't certain if this unit was real or just to spine chilling myth. it's the most reclusive and cryptic company fighting for russia and the don bass. this is the wagner group. ah

ah the village of the cross, claire refused to fool for weeks to defended. key of commanders deployed some of its veteran troops with plenty of experience in ugly warfare. so from the outside, this looks like an anonymous village, hard just a civilian house, but trust me, it is not. and as i go, please pay attention to this very badly decomposed body in ukrainian military uniform. but if you were to just follow me, you will discover this, again,

an anonymous tool shed and again, it is not. you can see the trench, the trenches over here. so this is a firing position. there are several basements all around the place with similar firing positions. so what is this, if not proof that ukrainians use civilian houses as their cover, and basically anonymous places like this. but it takes more than just dirty tactics to stop the wagon, a group dubbed as the orchestra, the ensemble and other music inspired nicknames. they pounded this very position for long, violent 8 hours until every one of the dozens of resisting ukraine's troops either fled or met them. maker. this is one of the basements amid village houses, where the ukrainian troops used to shelter. this is a good hiding sport because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof here is reinforced. and if you're wondering what this ropers is done for safety,

for closing the door remotely, the village is largely deserted, yet a handful of civilians with no other place to go remain at the same time. ukrainian forces are still shelling the place, targeting the musicians in a whack a mole style. we live together with the russian units. my husband is an insulin, we just ran out. i ordered some ones, then again, the delivery failed. now they've taken him somewhere. i think that will get the medicine without the insulin. things would be bad, he would die. the orchestra has moved on already. there are the 1st and only unit to have breached the defenses of the city, of our term, of the next big thing on this direction. ah,

i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian side, this is the end of the village. and this is the last house here, which also turned out to be the final fortification on their way. in the story to bring you to day soaring electricity prices in germany have hit a new record reaching $455.00 euro per megawatt hour converting. now that is 5 times higher than last year. and despite the traditional economic strength of the country, even the states finance minister recognizes that. currently the situation is worsening significantly. to sheila mention for many people every day, life has become far too expensive. we fear that gus, energy and food prices will rise. at the same time. all countries, economic prospects have become fragile and full cost for economic growth have to be revised downwards. germany is the country that contributes the most cash to the european union of all the member states. now, brussels has always been able to count on the reliability of the high german

economic tied to carry any sinking member states. but the problem with, depending on the other eyes, money is a sunday, the other guy could be in financial trouble himself. and then what happens to the dependence? well, the idea that germany could be facing dire economic and political straits to the point of social unrest and warnings of potential instability was previously unfathomable. but now a perfect storm is brewing on the horizon for berlin with inflation reaching its highest level since re invocation. in 1990 cost of living, pressures increasing energy prices. skyrocketing as officials plunged the economy into a kamikaze tailspin for ukraine. the german finance minister is now saying that the quote economy is deteriorating as he taps the fuel gauge and sees that it's on empty, literally as official scramble to find a solution for their self imposed energy crisis and rationing. now only really asked to do is pull up on the controls,

but berlin refuses to consider the pipeline nord stream to sitting right in front of them ready to deliver russian gas the minute they decide to stop the sadomasochism of their self imposed economic sanctions. so now german officials are bracing for panic of on board as disaster approaches. if prices continue to rise, then at some point people will take to the streets. we must help average households and said an upper limit for energy costs. if we get social unrest, the state won't be able to cope while we experienced in the coven pandemic, in terms of partly violent confrontations on social networks. but also in the streets and squares was probably more like a children's birthday party in comparison. now there's also another german state security official stepping kramer who told the german press recently that he's concerned that the protests that can result from everything that's going on right now could be worse than the classes that they saw during the pandemic. and it could

make them look like a children's birthday party. and he also warrens that for those of you who are thinking of participating in the protests, you might want to reconsider because you don't wanna side with the enemies of democracy. funny how they're blaming everybody but themselves. so in an attempt to calm the masses, berlin is going to throw money at its own citizens. now, who would have thought that we'd see the day when germany would be handing out aid to its own citizens? the richest country in europe, and judging by a new report, forecasting a loss of 260000000000 euros by 2030 and an estimated loss of 240000 jobs by this time next year. well, it looks like it's running out of its own money now. so by what magic mouth is it going to keep paying people? and to make matters worse, chess or olaf schultz is racking up political scandals, including accusations of political interference in waving the tax bill of the largest private bank in germany as the mayor of hamburg now, he has to answer to a committee and well, he already doesn't seem too happy about having to answer to press the forms. it's

michelle prudish from them, and it is not credible to mix facts into a question that is not true. these claims have not been substantiated. think about it before you ask something like that. you may recall that there was also the matter of 9 women, claiming that they were slipped a date, rape drug during a summer gathering hosted by schultz for his political party. and it all just adds fuel to the fire at the time when the german landscape is increasingly vulnerable. and officials fear that any spark could ignite a blaze of unrest at any time. just really too bad that they brought it all on themselves and seem, well, i'm for gently intent on staying the course now, india could emerge as ages strongest, the condo, me in the 202223 period. according to the investment management jain, morgan stanley, the projection comes to continents, currently 3rd largest economy crew, a full 9.2 percent this fiscal year. well that's cross live now to

r t con computer. our see to crew for her take on this hi r t new delhi certainly bucking the global trend right now with a strong economic forecast for india. well this, so i'll just do economic outlook by morgan stanley would be true if the crude oil prices drop down now basically to $90.00 a battery and the export when you grow. but that is not true at the moment. but in that tap when she has this economic outlook would be true. that said, i would say that india has been doing well. it has actually recovered from the losses that it's in during the quarter. no, i just made. and i think one has just passed and runs to that into movies,

foreign policy, and his trick independent result, we should create the fact that there was tremendous pressure on india against buying crude oil from russia on discounted prices. is i think one of the biggest factors for this was a, do you know, projection bought in the me because india went ahead with buying russian crude oil on discounted prices. despite the fact that all the negro nations rising from will be government not to buy away from russia, russia or what your opinion was. that did not happen. and i think that has been a major, major factor in the gardens off wanted to be in the markets and businesses that we are seeing in india. i think the restricted independence that india

has been game i did is a very huge possibility that will become one of the biggest and strongest economies in the world in the future are t contribute our r t ticker taken us through that ah, the german interior minister has apologized for a photo showing her holding a glass of champagne during her visit to ukraine last month. as it affordable. i regret the photo. it was certainly not appropriate. i think it's actually easy to explain because in kiev, at the moment life on the streets is back to normal. this is hard to understand when you travel to a country where you see a lot of destruction, why, you know, what terrible war crimes have happened there and where you know that fighting is still going on in the east of the country as well as you may know there's been a steady stream of foreign politicians visiting ukraine on picking up press coverage along the way. although presidents lensky has cautioned local officials to

be careful of commenting on frontline events to them, highlighting that cold war is definitely not the time for vanity and light statements and quote, he stated that in the desire to grab a big headline, they shouldn't reveal ukraine's defense plans well that's not just adding western politicians sneaking the headlines. world famous faces have been seen there are to some are there for humanitarian missions or just to show their support they say for ukrainians. well that's true live now to independent journalist, look river k for his take look. all was a pleasure. so the minister of face, the huge backlash to the photo from social media users on fellow german colleagues as well. was that criticism justified? i think it was, i mean they were having a very good time there with mister creature called, or the mayor of here with us sick as the sand drum, with the sparkling wine on the terrace are great fun. and it seems that you have

somehow is becoming a subsidiary of hollywood. p stays, you know, it's not only politicians who want their photo op with the chief artist, mr. zalinski. it's also the whole of hollywood, or you have for jesse cash asked others so nice a red haired girl on that very good to be successful actress than you have actually nationally. you have sean pend director, or you have found ben stiller the actor. so all these people come to 2 or 2 key f 2 ra, congratulate her the chief artist again, who was by the way in before on the cover with mrs. and scott, so on. this doesn't go down very well. i think in the west, at least in notting key, if either because people are suffering and people really would like the, the special operation to stop somehow and so on. it's some, it's fairly difficult now for the government in key if to persuade the people that

they are really tough and only that after all, what happened over the last few weeks at month? so i suppose that's why mister savanski says that he's there to be tough and he has pictures taken of him in the trenches. now the reaction to the reaction of the photo is quite interesting as well. the interior minister noted saying that keith was almost back to normal air. isn't she allowed to make such an observation? she, you know, she travel there, i suppose. yes, she travelled there and i suppose she didn't know what to say that so often she says, it's back to normal though. why can't say that, you know, people are suffering so she really didn't know how to excuse herself for this song photo, which was the photos for these photos that were delivered by her information service, but press relations service. and that shouldn't have been distributed in germany.

it's badly perceived and at the same time to have all these issues. so for jo, garage schroeder, for example, as you know, that has been attacked by the budget committee and when the stock that wants to take away his little office and his staff. that's awful because he keeps keeping good relations with russia, which is absolutely indispensable for to morrow and all for real diplomacy. not the diplomacy of mr. mccaul was also a very good artist when he goes in to sit here with a very bad artist. mister shows are all on even worse, the italian prime minister. so when they visited this landscape was, of course, the jewels lensky mccall. that wasn't real for debt, but the people do much better is, for example, president ariana in turkey, doesn't say much for that's free diplomacy. you managed to, to,

to open some channels to export grain for our show for ukraine. so you manage things and that's not the case for the other. are for the european heads of state that tried to gain some prominence by going to keith. did it catch your eye? the words are president lensky as well, saying that quote, the war is not the time for vanity and lloyd statements. and yet you've got the recent vogue photo session that he appeared in at. what do you make of that? well, it clearly, mits somehow, but divorce title was not a good idea. that's what he says. now, come on, stop the time for magazines now is the time for you know, being tough and wearing a uniform and be in the trenches. yes. maybe shouldn't have made this interview with folk who just to follow on what you said earlier. look, the ties right now between key of and berlin. how do you see them?

how strong are they? well, nobody really knows to be around because it shows the so bad as a chance. i mean, hesitant, you know, where is management is chaotic. look at the, at the trial guy and he came back from canada and that germany has to deliver back to gas. wrong to make sure that all stream one is back in, in full function. it's still a germany. i mean, how can that german government says that there is a lack of documents and papers, typically german, but i mean, they should make sure that this goes back to gas from as quickly as possible in russia to make sure that the, the all stream one pipeline is back in full operation, or as mr. sure is suggest that we use no stream to live from brussels, independent journalists, local re look as always thought provoking, uninteresting good to have your company now the u. s.

secretary of states tour of africa is continuing with for one day. the latest stop, anthony blinking say's the u. s. doesn't want to force the continent to pick sides in geopolitical issues. african nations have been treated as instruments of other nations progress rather than the authors of their own. the united states will not dictate africa's choices, and neither should any one else blinking to her fellows held on the heels of the russian foreign minister, circle of ross who just dropped off and meet and greets across the continent as well. the u. s. official has been trying to rally support on the african midland in an attempt to limit russia's a legit creeping influence across the region over the south african foreign minister for long said the country had not come under any pressure from moscow. president, army, this fear that we exist under some push is i think,

a totally a really unfounded well ameritas law professor at the university of south africa and grid thomas house and believes choosing sides is not in the continence best interest. definitely, america will try to continue to meddle in elections that africa. we have a model of elections for coming in and go out in august. and we had general townsend from african visiting angola to assure them of america support, meaning they will carry on supporting the government of the day. if a gola complies to resist harmful russian activities, we have elections forthcoming and malawi, these are some countries that are so very, very poor, that even a small amount of money can, can make a difference and provoke a regime change. i think this is what, what america is actually planning for. and this influence is short of,

it doesn't actually establish friendship or good relations. so if it goes in no position to, to take sides or all or to, to get distracted from its own development needs. which are very existential, they're very critical. parts of africa are faced again with a loss of food security. meaning the countries will not be able to feed their population. so africa is, it is actually cruel to try and, and extort africa into joining a particular foreign policy. okay, $23.00, that's garnered a lot of attention, a so called murder for hire a plot to assassinate the former u. s. national security by your john bolton. i seen a member of the iranian islamic revolutionary guard cor, charged by the u. s. sharon for sa feet was reportedly offering $100000.00 for the

hit thought in retaliation for an err strike that kill senior iranian military officer. cassim sula money. 2 years ago on or about january 3rd, 2020 to some silly money the former commander of their ron's islamic revolutionary guard corps, k o. d. s force was killed by u. s. air strike in iraq. certain members of the leadership of iran denounced the killing. and if publicly vowed revenge, general phillip molly was a huge, popular figure in iran on his killing, brought hundreds of thousands of people on to the streets and protest. many experts considered him as the key figure behind a rounds foreign strategy in the middle east, on the architect all of its regional influence. cilla. molly's murder by drew intensified tensions between washington and toronto. professor out the university of iran side. mohammed mirandi believes there was no objective reason or

explanation for his kelly this i q zation the united states has a tradition of lying about intelligence and such information. and we know, for example, that when the united states murder, general solomon for his killing, that was given, was all false when the united states wanted to murder or general. so the money they gave an excuse or they claim that he was about to carry out an imminent strike or attack on american targets, but it turned out obviously that was a lie. this is the same. it's unclear why the united states at this time would want to escalate some sort of tension with iran. it cannot wage war against russia through ukraine, poke china and attempt to intimidate china and also escalate against

iran at the same time. the truth is that the united states is only going to increase its decline at a more rapid pace by simultaneously trying to intense, intensify tensions with iran, russia, and china to africa. we're counting underway in kenya's presidential election. but before the leader is even known, there in tre is absolutely full to the brim. i key issue props on top of the pile, being a growing terrorist threat in the region, and all that comes with al qaeda is largest, wealthiest, and most deadly affiliates. how becomes putting the roots on ortiz policy or has been exploring them? this will seem one of the most literally contested election in kenya's history. the nation is divided over who should lead the country. but if there is one thing that kenyans can agree on it that the government with american assistance is failing in its fight against tara one. it's been 3 and

a half years since the last legal attack in this country. alex about one of our craters, largest wealthiest and most deeply affiliates has roots yet and it's growing. there are random attacks against civilians leaving an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty. it's the high profile tragedies that make it to the international headlines. like back on the 15th of january, 2019 terrorist ascended on this luxury hotel, an office complex. 19 hours later $21.00 people were dead and the country was left wheeling and shock. 6 years earlier, this shopping center was targeted for 4 days. people crouched in terror while they were held hostage during a shootout between kenyan soldiers and police, and somali militants out about the claim to we're extracting revenge for kenya's operations in neighboring somali territory. the americans have been it for years already trying to stem terrorism at its core. it's

a common sentiment hearing tenure that any american assistance has a price that a political insulin. i tend to manipulate believable compared countries so that the kinetic control of their economies. they pretend to be good to these by level countries, especially nafrica, where they be that they know and it doesn't depend on the grams. so they only say in through invoice influence a dental resume so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up glance sought but to instead, they only want to get involved into our affairs by been entering into mining. although i'm in adults taking control of our political situations on political, i'm general governance. they want to control us and it wasn't as american, it's like at least africa africans are variable level. they don't have enough. and also we have enough resources. but americans are taking the diesel back to their land, the money factor, those things that they build, they bring back lots in terms of selling. that's why they're trying to manipulate us so that we come not to, we stop believing in ourselves. they want to make us feel that we are still

inferior to fight, is that the fight is selfish. celebrating the content that the americans want to do . they want to benefit from these conflicts. because even as we, i would go to what is, what is it, it means the ad was to go to these countries go over it again, change these countries, some of these countries in the hint, if i got your and now back in may find an ordered hundreds of back into somalia. asha bob continues to conduct attacks, certainly there in somalia. they have been capable of conducting attacks in the region. and we know that in the past they have expressed at least the intent and desire to attack outside the region including against the american interest. so tara is on the whys in the region and spreading to more countries. black uganda, which just last year experienced more to attacks than ever it originates from somalia moves through tenure and is claimed for alpha bab pinions. no another

attack will come against the backdrop of surgeon emotions because of a loss. when at the ballot box, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, policy, a r, t, at election headquarters, nairobi, kenya. fall, i taking this to the end of this news block and out, and it is how the end of the working week is shipping up. for now, i'll keep the updates coming and 30 after some more programs, which get their start in moments here in rti, there's that goes, ah ah

ah crane. well, never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as oman are made, it comes to last you get done in carbon dioxide. america forces your and you're not in europe. j.
