[000:00:00;00] with a, 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 use civilian houses as the cub nationalists forces are, again accused of using civilians in john boss. as human shields as an r t crew visits the front line with the wagner private military group with walter coming up on the program, a british writer who provoked the wrath of the muslim world,

but the controversial book in the 19 eighties and was previously issued with a death sentence by around is stuffed in front of an audience in new york with german officials war and about possible social on the rest, which could be worse, they say, than the protest over the coven pandemic. that says electricity. prices are already 5 times higher than a year ago. a pound. india is on course to be the fastest growing asian economy over the next year. according to the global market analyst, it comes as a country increasingly chooses an independent policy and its own affairs, such as refusing to joint western sanctions. i guess for sure. that's all i had this hour with me day in houston midnight, inject carter 8 and leave me here in moscow. welcome to the global news update on our

t. i'm unit o'neill. we start with the latest from don boss and the conflict. their officials in the done yes. republic say ukrainian forces helps shell that chemical plant in the city of god. love causing a blast that show you some footage that was taken a number of hours ago. now this is footage of the fire from an eye witness account. you can maybe see in the background there, large plumes of smoke rising into the sky. local authorities say the situation does not pose a danger right now is the shells. it's a building materials warehouse, and it comes days after ukraine is said to have shelled a nuclear power plant site, which is under the control of russian forces. without salves russian troops continue to make advances in the and yet people's republic. and they're pushing towards the key strategic at city. as you can see here in the bottom of our screen

here are chum of snow. among the advancing forces is a private russian military company called the wagner group. r t. secret shutdown off was grunted. a rare opportunity to join them and also to look at the abundant positions of ukrainian troops who continue official se to use locals there as human shields. several years ago, many weren't certain if this unit was real or just a 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 clare 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 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. a famous british author who ought rage swedes of the muslim world in the 1980s, with

a novelty blasphemous against the prophet mohammed has been stopped in the neck in new york state in front of dozens of people last cross live now to ortiz killer, my pin who's in new york city? killed not a lot of verified information. i believe about what happened right now, but what is known about the attack? well, according to eye witness accounts, when salma rusty was going to give a presentation in chautauqua, new york was being introduced as he was being introduced that attack around the stage. punching and stabbing the introducer suffered a serious blow to the head and rush dee was staff. he received a neck injury and he felt the floor. he received medical treatment on the stage. he was able to walk away from the stage and he was rushed by helicopter to a hospital where he is now receiving treatment. so the audience was in a little bit of shock, the, the presenter, the person introduced him,

was also injured quite a serious moment. now, as has been noted, some on rusty is certainly a controversial figure in 1988 and published a novel called the satanic verses. infuriated muslims around the world because of the way it depicted the prophet mohammed at mock religion, et cetera. there was a thought was issued against solomon rusty by the supreme leader of the islamic republic of iran, calling for his death. and there had been many instances in which he's based attempted attacks, etc. there been many threats against him. now, british taxpayers did pay for protecting him for many years. his security was paid for by the british government. then he was eventually given night by the british government for his contributions to literature. now it's important to note that that when solomon ross, you published his controversial novel, you had rioting all over the world, muslims around the world are rioting, and protesting against it. they were just deeply, deeply offended by the novel. and he's lived in quite

a bit of fear for his entire life since then, fearing for his safety due to the content of his novel, which was considered very blasphemous by muslims around the world. so it appears that today as he was speaking, someone managed to charge at the stage to injure the person attacking him with a blow to the head and to injure him in the knack he's been stabbed in the next. we will be waiting to hear updates on his condition at the hospital. we understand he was rushed there by helicopter. thanks for english right off the data on what occurred. there are 2 corresponding caleb open. now soaring electricity prices in germany has had a new record reaching $455.00 euro per megawatt hour just doing the math. and that's 5 times higher than just last year on despite the traditional economic strength of the country, even the states finance minister recognizes that. currently the situation is worsening. significantly. sheila mention for many people every day life has become

far too expensive. we fear that guess 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 set an upper limit for energy cost. if we get social unrest to 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 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 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 it going to keep paying people?

and to make matters worse, chance 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 the for i'm is this michelle prudish amendment. it is not credible to mix facts into a question that is not true. these claims have not been substantiated. well, 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. now,

despite considerable competition, india could emerge as ages strongest economy in the 2020 to 23 period according to investment management. john morgan stanley, the projection comes as a competence current. as 3rd largest economy grew a full 9.2 percent. this fiscal year, that's as new delhi increasingly pursues an india for strategy and refuses to bow to external pressure. here's our tea contributor, r t to coo and i mean by morgan stanley is going to be true. boy, nice is job bill $90.00 the battle for grow by 21st. if that happens, india is certainly going to be the strongest economy in asia. but having said that, the fact is that india has done very well in the last few months,

especially because india has maintained extra digit independence. resolve the foreign policy, international trade of the fact that the need to countries having pressurizing, india against buying russian who are discounted prices, i think is something to be done to do it here in the i did not find a show in the i went ahead and bought the russian crew by which has been effective, they've gone to me and it has had india to recover all the losses that in doing that go by. the fact is that the west has been rising india against buying not only light from russia, but also on st invitation. and veterans system just just happens to be the biggest supplier. obviously the mission to india. 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. but it seems quite clear that, yeah, is going to follow these goals on its own national interest. the more the government has made it abundantly clear that it is not limited limited on relationship, russia or defense or on group i. it is quite clear that india will continue its partnership with russia on both arms, all the just defense as well. as you know,

the german interior minister has apologized for a photo showing her holding a glass of champagne during her visit to key of last month. as it was for to buy regret the photo, it was certainly not appropriate to see. 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 where you know, what terrible war crimes have happened there and why, you know that fighting is still going on in the east of the country. lead. well, there's been a steady stream of foreign politicians visiting ukraine on picking up press coverage along the way. although presidents zelinski has cautioned local officials to be careful, if commenting on frontline events, highlighting that quote, war is definitely not the time for vanity in large statements. he stated that in a desire to grab a big headline, they shouldn't reveal ukraine's defense plans when it's not just western politicians making headlines,

their world famous faces have been seen in ukraine to some for humanitarian missions. others they say just to show their support for ukrainians. independent journalist, lucrative a believe the headline grabbing visits against the background of suffering is irritating the public. yes, somehow he is becoming a subsidiary of hollywood. p stays, you know. it's not only politicians who want that photo op with the chief artist, mr. lensky. it so. so the whole of all he would have actually, nationally, sean penn, director or ben stiller the actor. so all these people come to to, to have to walk congratulate to 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 notting, keith, either because people are suffering and people really would like the,

the special operation to stop somehow. and so it's, it's fairly difficult now for the government to give to the people that they are really tough. and only that, 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 revolution and guard cor, charged by the u. s. sure, um, per se, was reportedly offering $100000.00 for the hit thought to be in retaliation for an ur strike that killed senior iranian military officer. count them sula, money, 2 and a half years ago. on or about january 3rd, 2020. cuz some silly money, the former commander of iran islam, the revolutionary guard corps killed yes. 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, figuring around his killing broad hundreds of thousands of people onto the streets in protest. many experts considered him the key figure behind a rounds foreign strategy in the middle east, and the architect of its regional influence, cilla moneys, murder by drone, intensified tensions between washington on iran. professor at the university of to ron side. mama mirandi believes there was no objective reason or explanation indeed for his kelly. 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 money later on, it was exposed to the defense secretary. in his memoir,

he said that tromp 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 the money they gave an excuse, or they claim that he was about to carry out an imminent to strike or 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. 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 want to turn attention on the program to africa. we're counting on to when kenya's presidential election. but before the leader is even known, there in trey is full to the brim. not least the issue of a growing terrorist threatened to reach him. al qaeda's most significant affiliates have become spreading the roots. that's ortiz, polish, lee, or explorers. this is seen 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's that their government with american assistance is failing and it's fight against tara one. it's been 3 and a half years since the last major attack in this country. i wish about one of our craters, largest wealthiest and most deadly 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 lecture 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 to 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's a political influence. i was trying to manipulate the liberal compared countries so that the kinetic control of their economies. they pretend to be good to these vulnerable countries, especially nafrica,

where they be that they know and it doesn't depend on their grounds. so they only say in for inviting influence a dental resume so that they can take advantage of pretending to be giving up glance thought about to. instead, they only want to get involved into our affairs by been mentioning into mining. although i'm in it or taking control of our political situations on political, i'm general governance. they want to control us and it wasn't as american is actually, africa. africans are very vulnerable. they don't have enough resources. we have enough resources, but americans are taking looters on it. back to their land, the manufacture loosing 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, we 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 conflicts. because even as we are good, what is, what is it? it means the ad was to go, these countries go over is literate 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 ordered hundreds of troops back into somalia. asher 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 wires 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 tenure and is claimed by al chabad 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, r, t, at election headquarters,

nairobi kenya. now following nancy pelosi is recent adventures in taiwan. is the biden administration needlessly and recklessly provoking china? what crosstalk delves into next. stay close for peter and guests. are that a oh, well, never be a victory for russia. wait solutions, you will. you wait unless you lay newton are done by you. locate me. crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as oman are made, it comes to not should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are in,

you're not in europe to gauge in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are here and defend nato allies. what happens that nato escalates even more indiscretion? military operations become a war when you but does have some rules that dealership and that'll that doesn't is my thought. i see it that i see you at the us. thank you, plus list. gotta be a live. so you story, issue leak and you stuff with almost bentham, let's see where you live at home and you're still foolish or in your sewage, never speaker to the girl who's mom, mom. when i was showing wrong, i just don't hold any world to shape out. disdain becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail.

when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking, that is that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slaves. americans, rock obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law will exist as long as it's serge american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this. danger is boy man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. for example, as of yet on your own, i not leashed off teams. zebulon and tablet block. nato said it's

ours. we move east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, what is bad, the shareholders in united states and elsewhere in large obs companies would lose millions and millions? or is business and businesses good? and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fascist. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number that's constantly growing. a list of course, it's becoming a more streamline the we're, we're, we're branding all in ports of russian oil and gas news.

i key with the had already given joe biden, in, imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy. so there is your boomerang. ah ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered. i'm peter labelle for decades. washington adhered to what has been called the one china policy and that included taiwan for better or worse. it is kept the piece in the region house
