arms race is often very dramatic and developing only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk. a breaking news this. our ukranian forces shall a chemical plant in the city of gar, love in the den. yes. republic. according to local authorities, parking a fire and causing a large plume of smoke to rise into the sky. we'll go live to our correspondent there in moments also ahead. this is a firing position. the ra, several basements all around the place with similar firing positions. so what is the, this is not prove that ukrainians use civilian houses that cover national it forces

are again accused of using civilians in don't balance. as human shields has an rti prove that it's the front line, the wagner, private military with german officials, war and about possible social unrest, which could be worse. they say that the protest over the cope with the electricity prices are already 5 times higher than a year ago. on india is on course to be the fastest growing asian economy over the next year. according to global market on the list. it counts as the country increasingly chooses, an independent policy and its own efforts shows refusing to join western sanctions against russia. we on the line with from moscow to the world. this is our take, great to have your company today. my name is unit o'neill. we begin with breaking news is from don bassett. officials in the done yet republic say ukrainian forces

have shelled a chemical plant in the city of gore. love causing a fire at let's cross immediately to tease or shut down off. who is in the loo, ganske at republic high. they're eager. yet. we've seen that footage of smoke rising into the sky from the plant. it could be poisonous chemicals, of course was enough. factory. what more do we know at this stage? ok, a little bit of a connection issue there with ego here. i'll check one more time. can you hear me? it's unit here in the studio. ok. clearly a connection issue will try and return to ego, or for a sense of what is occurring there in the huge fire in girl love. katrina. plumes of smoke at dark rising into the sky's evening approaches, and we'll try and get

a grasp of what is occurring there in the near future will return to week or shortly. now it all comes though, as russian troops continue to make advances in they done yet, people's republic, they are pushing towards the key strategic city of tom offs cannot. among the advancing forces is a private russian military company called the wagner group. are teas eager should off again, was granted a rare opportunity to join them and also to look at the abundant positions of ukrainian troops who continue official say to use locals there as human shoot 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 glare refused to fool for weeks to defended. key of commander's 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 position. so what is this if not, prove 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 their maker. this is one of the basements amid village houses, where the ukrainian troops used to shelter. this is a good hiding spot because you can see it goes quite deep on the ground. the roof here is reinforced. and if you 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 hm, i'm walking along the same road as the most enigmatic unit. fighting on the russian

side. this is the under the village, and this is the last house here which also turned out to be the final fortification on their way collette leave that conflict for now move on to another headline story. soaring electricity prices in germany. they've had a new record reaching $455.00 euro per megawatt hour. that is 5 times higher than last year just on the spike. they 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 in vacation 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 anti literally as official scramble to find a solution for their self imposed energy crisis and rationing. now all he 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 set an upper limit for energy cost. if we get social unrest, the state won't be able to cope while we experienced in the cove it 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 and comparison. now, there is also another german state security official stepping kramer who told the german press recently that he's concerned that the protests that could 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 going to keep paying people and to make matters worse, chances are 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 before i was just

finished up tradition, mom 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 a 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 of india's country without seeing increasingly thinking to its sovereign policy. now it could emerge as ages strongest economy in the 2020 to 23 period, according to the investment management giant. morgan stanley dot projection comes as the contents current 3rd largest economy. griffith 9.2 percent this fiscal year

are to come to me to r. t ticket has been taken a closer look. is shop. well, just do economic outlook by mobile stanley would be true if the crude oil prices drop down basically to $90.00, a battery 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 ride is made and i think one has just had a call to met into movies foreign policy. i'm his strict independent reader. we should pray the fact that there was tremendous pressure on india against buying gould already from russia on the sound good prices is. i think one of the biggest factors for this was a, do you know,

projection bought in gas economy because india went ahead with buying russian crude oil on discounted prices. despite the fact that all the new nations should, i think runs from will be government not to buy away from russia and then russia or what you've seen was that did not happen. we continue to work with them to ensure that they understand that it's not in there. we believe that it's not in their best interest to continue to invest in russian equipment. what i can say is that india is a really important security partner of ours now, and that we value that partnership moving forward. i hope that part of what happens with the extreme criticism that russia has faced is that india will find it is now time to further distance itself from russia. and i think that has be a major, major foster in the starting off wanted to be in the markets and businesses that we are seeing in india, which strategic independence that india has been game did,

is already soon as possible. that would become one of the biggest and strongest economies in the world. in the future, the german interior administer has apologized for a photo showing her holding a glass of champagne during her visit to ukraine last as it affordable. i regret to say taste. 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. and this is hard to understand when you travel to a country where you see a lot of destruction and where 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. lead miss phaser isn't the loan. there's been a steady stream of foreign politicians visiting ukraine on picking up press coverage along the way. although president zelinski has cautioned local officials to be careful if commenting on frontline events, highlighting that quote,

war is definitely not the time for vanity and load statements. he stated that in desire to grab a big headline, they shouldn't reveal ukraine's defense plans for this not just western politicians, they're making headlines. their world famous faces have been seen there to some for a humanitarian missions, others they say just to show their support for ukrainians. independent journalist, the grava believes that headline grabbing visits against that background of suffering is what's irritating the public most. yes, 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. lensky. it's also the whole of all you would have actually, nationally. you have sean penn director. you have ben stiller, the actor. so all these people come to, to, to, to congratulate the chief artist again, who was, by the way, in the fall on the cover with mrs. scott:

so this doesn't go down very well. i think in the west at least in not in key. if i, because people are suffering people really would like the special operation to stop somehow. and so it's, it's fairly difficult now for the government to give 2 cars, right? the people that they are really tough and only got after all, what happens over the last few weeks at month a so called murder for hire a plot to assassinate the former us national security advisor. john bolton now seen a member of the iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps, charged by the u. s. sharon per se, was reportedly offering $100000.00 for the hit thought to be in retaliation for an earth strike that killed senior iranian military officer council sula. mommy, 2 years ago on or about january 3rd,

2020 to some silly money the former commander of their ron's islamic revolutionary guard, cor kilo 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 cilla molly was a hugely popular figure in to run 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 runs foreign strategy in the middle east on the architect of its regional influence . salamis murder by drone, intensified tensions between washington on to run, professor out the university of iran sides. mohammed's mirandi believes there was no object of reason or escalation for his killing this accusation. 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 sony mommy, later on, it was exposed that the defense secretary. in his memoir he said that trump just simply wanted to, to kill him. and that the reason for his killing that was given was all false when the united states wanted to murder or general. so any money they gave an excuse, or they claimed that he was about to carry out an imminent strike or an attack on american targets. but it turned out, obviously that 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, post 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. now the u. s. secretary of state's tour of africa is continuing with ro, wanda, the latest on any blank and say the u. s. doesn't want to force the continent to pick sides and 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. mister lincoln's tour follows hold on the heels of the russian foreign minister, circular for all food, just wrapped up and meet and greet across the continent. the u. s. official has been trying to rally support on the african, the mainland in an attempt to limit russia's

a legit creeping influence across the region. however, the south african foreign minister for one of the country had not come under any pressure from moscow. i told president me this here that we exist under some push is i think that totally a rear, unfounded lawyer. andre tom, a 1000 beliefs, choosing sides is not enough for his best interest. definitely, america will try to continue to meddle in elections africa. we have a model of elections 4th coming in on cola in august. and we had general townsend from african visiting angola to assure them of america support that meaning they will carry on supporting the government of the day. if a gola her compliance to resist harmful russian activities, we have elections forthcoming and malawi,

these are some countries that are so very, very poor that even a. busy 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 lived. it doesn't actually establish friendship or good relations. so if he goes in no position to, to take sides or, or, or, or to, to get distracted from its own development. rees, which are very existential. they're very critical. parts of africa are faced again with the loss of food security. meaning the countries will not be able to feed their population. so every go is it is actually cruel to try and, and extort africa into joining a particular foreign policy. let's keep attention on the continent because coatings underway in kenya's presidential election. but before the leader is even known

there in trey as fall to the brand, i key issue being a growing terrorist, threatened region al qaeda's most significant affiliate something spreading their routes as our teeth policy leaders been exploring. this is seen one of the most literally contested election in kenya's history. the nation is divided over who should meet 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 leisure attack in this country. i wish about one of our greatest largest wealthiest and most did the affiliates has roots yet, and it's growing. there aren't random attacks against civilians, even 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, a standard 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. i'll shabby claim that we're extracting revenge for kenya's operations in neighboring somali territory. the americans have been there 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 of political insulin. america trying to manipulate the liberal compared countries so that the kinetic control of their economies. they pretended to be good to these about unable countries, especially nafrica, where they been, they know, and it doesn't really depend on their grounds. so they only say in through inviting influence a dental resume so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up a glance sort. but in the, instead,

they only want to get involved into our affairs by been meant heading into mining. although, i mean adults taking control of our political situations and political, i'm general governance. they want to control us and it, but, and it's american, italy, africa, africans, are variable marable. they don't have enough resources, we have enough resources, but americans are taking looters on their land. they manufacture those things that they build. they bring back to us in terms of selling, how does, why they're trying to manipulate us so that we come not to stop believing in ourselves. they want to make us feel that we are still in fia. the fight is that the fight is selfish. celebrating the corners like the americans we want to do. they want to benefit from these companies. because even as we are good for the saucers, it means there was to go. these countries go over is the rate jim change these countries, some of these countries in the, in the hint, if i had gone to the war and now back in may biden or did 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 american interest. so tara is on the wise in the region and is spreading to more countries black uganda, which just last year experienced water attacks than ever. it originates from somalia moves through kenya and is claimed, but also bad pinions. no, another attack will come against the backdrop of certain emotions because of a loss. when at the ballot box, there is an undercurrent of restlessness, policy, or r, t at election headquarters, nairobi, kenya. let's return then to our breaking news from this. our officials in the den, yes, republic say ukrainian forces have, shall the chemical plant in the city of cor, lapka, causing

a blaze. authority say poses no danger to the public, but say it is the latest act case. high profile case of shelling of high risk and essentially civilian sized ortiz eager shut off as spoke to the program a little earlier. so this is yet another case of the ukrainian military targeting a potentially very dangerous elements over a civilian infrastructure. mind that this incident comes a just the next day off to an emergency. you un security council meeting that was called food by russia, because basically, mosca was very concerned about another series of ukrainian strikes with this is what most recorded on a is a proportion, a nuclear power plant. this is, was the largest. it is the largest nuclear power plant in europe, and russia has been saying that ukraine has been shelly repeatedly, including targeting containers with nuclear waste. now the ukranian forces have the shell to a chemical plant in the town of fall, of course,

very close to the net right now. very, very few people remain there because well, the ukranian shelling is a very common thing in that part of the world. in that particular village i should say that particular town, but this chemical blonde, it used to be one of the largest in europe. it was that the leading chemical plant to produce fertilizers and basically it worked a lot with ammonia. so potentially the ecological fallout from a nasty strike from a bad head from a if you craig, was to hit something, something that we shouldn't. this could have very far reaching consequences ecologically wise and well when it comes to people's health. again, not so long ago, ukrainian forces targeted a contain out with ammonia inside the town of genetics, in central dynette, there were no military targets. and so the whole town, the whole city was on high alert about that people were due to not to open windows

and to well take treatment for potential ammonia poisoning. but so far the plumes of smoke that we've seen from this chemical plot that's been just hit, they've been black. this is not the color that ammonia are usually will releases into the air. when is one place of these leaves it's storage facilities. so hopefully the ecological disaster will be about what's been called. busy a cultural genocide in canada is our focus next an rti. it's a tough watch chronicling and 150 year period. stay with us for a short documentary, killing me, indian in the child with i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people.

a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a various job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot most protective phone existence with what we've 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 really and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time time to sit down and talk

who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing, but i figure which of the problem was the course renewed as we speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine, or wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g i. g with regard to joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang with.
