9:04 am
reports of debt, sore serious injuries. that's definitely a good thing to hear. but after the explosions were reported, we are, we saw that the a state of emergency was declared across the region. and the head of crimea has said that anyone who suffered from this attack will get the help that they need when she moved on the swedish, which, according to the russian defense ministry, the cause of the incident in the junker district was sabotaged, said, i am continuing to work at the scene where there was a fire and detonation of ammunition this morning as machinery with a more than 3000 people were evacuated from the settlements of moscow and his office coin. oh, as soon as the detonation is over to lea, a house to house search will begin to evaluate the damage was every one affected will receive assistance and she was somebody. this bombing comes as we've been hearing more and more from ukrainian officials about launching attacks on russian territory. one example is zalinski is one of zalinski is most trusted advisors, alex era stove. it who has said that the crimean bridge is a legitimate military target. who's come to them fluids. we don't care about the
9:05 am
crimean breach. once we've received the necessary technical options, it will become entangled for us. there is nothing to discuss. we don't have an opportunity yet, but once we get it scheduled target is issued. so if ukrainian attacks on russian territory becoming more and more destructive, it makes one wonder how far the hostilities can actually go. i'd ought is donell quarter. thank you for that. well, meantime, elsewhere in russia, the f s b says it's exposed to a series of sabotage in the courtesy region near the ukrainian border. authorities say ukrainian supple tours have blown up power supply lines that. meanwhile, in moscow, the heads of at least $35.00 defense ministries are taking part in an international security conference. a president vladimir putin greeted the participants in his opening speech. he did take a moment to criticize western politics on ukraine, which have led to the conflict with russia. yet will genius. we begin with the other to maintain the had germany than his conflicts. therefore,
9:06 am
they decided that the people of ukraine ought to be cannon fodder. they implemented the enter russia project in ukraine. they turned a blind eye to the spread of neo nazi ideology to the massacre of people in don vasily than they pumped up and continue to pump up the key for shame with arms, including heavy weapons. the situation ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict. the international security conference is organized by russia's defense ministry and is dedicated to the current geopolitical situation in the world. as tensions escalate, military experts come together to cover mutual concerns and rushes. defense minister also spoke out about nuclear security and made the ukranian crisis. underlying that, roger's aim is to prevent any type of nuclear incident. here from a military point of view, there is no need to use nuclear weapons in ukraine to achieve the set goals,
9:07 am
the main purpose of russian nuclear weapons as to deter a nuclear attack. now to the very latest, from the military conflict inside ukraine and don bass, our local officials say russian lead forces are advancing in the donuts republic or reaching key ukrainian strongholds all along the front lines. look at this map right here at the neighboring lugens republic is under full control of russian lead forces. and the retreating ukrainian troops have left behind vast supplies of unused ammunition, naughty correspondent could have done off now has this report from them. ukrainian troops often have to retreat very hastily and abandoning loads of ammunition has become something of a habit for them. like here, for example, you can see dozens of artillery shells. these are so of get made, but they abandon both soviet made and western supplied javelin, marseilles, british and laws, equally alike when ukrainian troops in this little village received an order to fall back. it was already too late. russian troops had critically closed in making
9:08 am
their escape a herculean task key forces, ram light on their feet. so special units they load, whatever they can find into trucks like this one, food is taken to a special place. were all these kills and will disarmament are examined? those that are deemed safe views. they are being sent to the front. those that are not well there safely destroyed every other. st junction here has been excavated and turned into miniature strongholds inside civilian houses. foxholes providing quick shelter from the shelling edition. ukrainian troops were living in the houses kitchen. they dug out a small shelter there so they could hide in case of shelling and survive even if
9:09 am
the home were destroyed. there are trenches across the whole town. they defended their positions very well. they were preparing for many years. they kicked the locals out of their homes, or made them sit in the basements and used them as shields. as we've been covering this war in the dorm bass, we've seen countless civilian households, which have been repurposed by the ukraine and military to serve as defense fortifications. this one is no exception. the owners were evicted by the ukrainian troops. and now, well, whoever used to live here, they simply have no place to return to well, german tax payers will now have to foot the bill for replacing russian gas imports . as a result of course, of western sanctions. and that is, according to germany's economy minister who was now slapped, a special levy on local households is only august degrees. levy is that fair is possible way to distribute and bear the additional costs that have accrued among the population which the l terms of would have been the collapse of the german
9:10 am
energy market and will it large parts of the european energy market. germany developed a business model that was largely based on the dependence on cheap russian guest. this model has failed and it is not coming back on time at all. the minister also struck that germany will need a quote change in a hurry. in the countries households will now be paying almost $500.00 euros more for gas on a yearly basis, and the levy will come into 4th on october. the 1st this size, germany's largest russian gas importers have been struggling to handle the soaring prices. and the governments be not a huge pressure to offer relief measures for its citizens. meanwhile, more and more media reports have been revealing so called information of fatigue elsewhere in europe and in the west. with public concerns toting from the ukraine, crisis towards that of acute domestic issues. let's learn more about it right now in crossing live to aussie contributor rachel marston. rachel, good to see you today. so what, what's behind all this a fatigue that's been covered in,
9:11 am
in parts of the western media. the 1st that western leaders are willing to download onto their own citizens in order to maintain anti russian sanctions. keeps going up. the headlines in european media haven't been about a kind of great ukrainian military victories against russia. the kind of headlines we saw near the beginning of the conflict or about how western sanctions are bringing the russian economy to its knees. now instead, the talk here in europe is all about how much damage is going to be done to european countries and the bank balances of their own citizens. so now the western press is starting to ask whether western unity in favor of egging on ukraine to avoid negotiating peace is about to crumble nearly 6 months into the war hub, look outrage over the invasion as giving way to concern bordering on panic. about it's alarming knock on effects on energy and food prices and the cost of living. that in turn is feeding doubts about western staying power. how long before
9:12 am
europe's already shaky unity crumbles? 6 months into the conflict information fatigue is creeping in front pages of european media spend more ink on cost of living than on military operations. opinion polls revealed that energy prices are scaring more people than russia nukes . so western governments, art putting the squeeze on russian president vladimir putin as much as they are on the daily lives of their own citizens. switzerland, for example, is the 1st country to announce rolling blackouts as a strategy that's on the table for this fall. italy, spain and germany are the 1st to take the lead in policing room temperatures across the country with limits for heating and air conditioning. all these measures because of the looming energy crunch. now, you know, things are getting pretty bad when the leading german media there spiegel is calling for the government to fire up the nord stream, to pipeline, to bring relief to the german in european economies with russian gas. at some point,
9:13 am
public pain at home overwhelms western citizens, initial good will toward ukraine. and although sweden and finland used the situation in ukraine as a pretext for dropping their non aligned position in favor of join nato. earlier in the conflict and new survey finds the 80 percent of austrians want to maintain their military neutrality. even amid all the western rhetoric painting moscow as a threat to europe. and even poland, which was spitting nails at russia at the outside of the conflict, is now struggling to find polish volunteers to help ukrainian migrants. human rights advocates already fear the return of well an unfortunate mentality. i know what happened before the war. how poland, the polish government, big companies treated people from ukraine. i think this attitude will come back very soon. initially, westerners wires a see peace return quickly to ukraine and gave the benefit of the doubt to their leaders that they knew how to do that. but there's clearly been
9:14 am
a horrible miscalculation from which western officials aren't backing down. retired us army commander daniel davis lays out the inconvenient truth in black and white. there is no chance, no military path that ukraine can win this war. there simply isn't. we have to be honest about that. and so that if you keep the st. his on there, they hurt us more than they hurt putin. did. western officials know that they be dragging their own citizens into a costly losing battle while misleading them into believing otherwise. or are they just so blinded by ideology that they mistook their desires and fantasies for reality. either way, they're starting to realize that the popular revolts over anti russian sanctions that they were trying to engineer for russia are now much more likely to hit their own countries instead. oh, it ought to contribute rachel marston. thank you. awesome stone,
9:15 am
throwing and riots. this is how the electrons ended in kenya, where william router has been declared the official winner of the result, his cause outrage among supporters of his opponent before my prime minister, rayleigh, dingo, ah, [000:00:00;00] with her you know, the pictures kind of speak for themselves, router's victory calls out for a job for the announcement of the results. according to the official count,
9:16 am
he received just 50.5 percent of the vote, narrowly defeating rayleigh, bingo. before the 7 electoral commission members refused to confirm the results, which could ultimately see a legal challenge from the opposition, prolonging uncertainty in a country critical to be economy and security of east africa was the router who run on a rags to riches story argued that he was best position to represent kenya's youth and poorest citizens. a dingo, on the other hand, built his campaign on highlighting his opponent's hypocrisy, claiming route hose wealth had been acquired through corruption. a local report had now armando a piano as details. it is a moment can have been anxious, waiting for to get to know the presidential, the left in the year 2022. and as it turns out, the presidential elect ease, the former deputy president, doctor william some way. and it is an election that witnessed
9:17 am
a lot of calmness but the and that the continued to grow as canyon's law, waiting to know the credit danger at length there was killed between the 2 top contender over this election. one team being that came that one's a team under the team, being the demila moore, that team which was headed by the leader of the opposition. right. armando security personnel was able to come this attrition by taking them outside the members of the opposition on lead to the middle of more than one k. net quote. one can account for equity kills and after then we a sure that there was peace of the month of kenya. he has promised that there is no room for vengeance. he has promised to walk for on canyon. yes. from it to unite canyon. yes. promise to walk together with even the opposition, members of the opposition to ensure that they move the country for reporting. for sure. today i'm on duty and the african affairs analyst. i can see it. he says that
9:18 am
despite can use political divisions. everyone shares the hope that the president elect will follow through with his campaign promises before the very anxious deeds been 6 days awaiting. and it was actually the claim of what was calling both agents . and through the day, people been waiting bill standoff in the quiz shown, finally, looters, and now they come only can be doing very badly doldrums and the cost of living is high to add in the corporate the campaign promised to address what's called production. and then by giving more subsidies to how much to try and get to things to get to business, this movie coming, going and productivity. that looks what it means that he has to do right now in spite of the have of the countries divided. i think at some point can use of to
9:19 am
place the tough choices ahead of them. foot politics, but by not begin to address the immediate concerns, which is the economy crisis in the country. ah, my celebrations and the streets of cobbled mocking one year since the taliban regained the power and i got lost on the estimate group quickly restored its control over the central asian country when the us withdrew its occupying forces last august. and taliban fighters and their support has charged slogans in front of the deserted u. s. embassy in cobble on monday saves a new government, has liberated up guy nest on and restored stability. on an explosion, rough the capitalist, the celebrations took place. the government saying several people by winded, with hundreds of afghans are rushed to the airport, desperately to flee the country. of course, during the u. s. withdrawal last year of many the chaos tied into tragedy. now we hear from a father who lost 2 of his sons and the f or the exodus in our special coverage
9:20 am
here were nazi international. now this is sobbing here is zaki was killed wells. abi still missing from my seat. ah mm mm. they have a good one. i should have gone. these governments collapsed. my son called me and said, dad, we're heading for the airport. i asked, why are you there? what's going on? the americans are taking us to the u. s. a. my son replied, jackie was 19 years old and sabby was 17. when they reached the place, they called me again and said, dad were inside the airport now don't worry. i asked them to come back because i feared something bad might happen. they said no dad,
9:21 am
the americans promised to take us to the u. s. a few minutes later, i got a call from abby's phone. someone told me that zachary had been killed with when you see people hanging on to the sides and wings of your plane, then why are you taking off? i heard from the international media what the us said. our pilot had a perfect plan. really. how dare you fly in such circumstances. all their claims regarding human lives and human rights are a complete law. with
9:22 am
one of the bigger yoga local. and the security of the airport was completely under us control . even the taliban were scared to winter and they did not allow people under the premises. it was definitely a complete negligence of their security metrics. so the loss, the wounds and misery are all brought to us by the usa. we know very well that they claim to protect animal rights to come to rescue animals and danger. but here they did not even rescue people in this particular situation. maybe we, afghans or muslims are not as important to them as the animal will be bringing new, moral and kindest on and how it's people have been trying to get their lives back on track. ever since the us pull out and special coverage throughout this month on

9:24 am
me. my story was keeping a very close watch on saudi arabia has been strengthening of ties with both rather in russia and china. or i should say this all this by the threat of sanctions coming from washington. they're an awful lot of angles to this story. bill comes off to jo biden's recent trip to react, ultimately fail to yield a much needed energy deal for the united states. here's some issues and some revelations ortiz, caleb martin. the escalation of the conflict in ukraine has certainly re shuffled a lot of relationships globally. but not necessarily in the way washington wants at a time when the united states is announcing that they will punish and sanction anyone investing in russia. you have a top, saudi investor announcing that he will do just that, no shame in doing business with moscow. but when it comes to the united states, saudi arabia is diversifying its investment portfolios. it has already decreased
9:25 am
its holding of us treasury securities by 36 percent over the last several years. meanwhile, business in the country, joe biden once said he was going to make a pariah, is going great guns, a 90 percent increase over this quarter last year, amid this flow of cash, saudi arabia has announced it has no interest in playing politics with the oil markets. when we get into the co cooking room overview of the building, as you may recall, everybody leaves his politics at the upset go to that and that country has been with us. joe biden was unable to convince the saudi crown prince to increase production and drop the oil price as he wanted. and while joe can beg all, he wants saudi arabia standing firm that they are keeping energy out of politics. meanwhile, the united states says it is still committed to the region, america's not going anywhere, america can be counted on to remain in the neighbourhood. and as a support for the countries in their security,
9:26 am
that is an american priority. saudi arabia is not so sure. in fact, there cozying up to america strategic rival, china, the china saudi relationship is going from strength to strength. they not a stance to see and often us of declining power, while china ice arising one, a, saudi arabia will treat this as an opportunity to become less reliant on the united states, thus making itself less vulnerable. yes, pressures, it's quite likely now that the se will begin to use increasingly china's currency and its banks. and it can be expected of many of the gulf monarchies well follow. and similarly, this is important for china to establish a dependent partnerships that his partner soon demonstrates our ability to withstand the pressure of washington and steel trade with china. the chinese leader
9:27 am
is set to visit saudi arabia very soon. and the shanghai cooperation organization is writing about how these anti russian sanctions are reinvigorating middle east asia trade relations. it's a new day on the global markets, and the united states isn't able to force hands the way it wants debt. that's becoming more and more clear each day. caleb martin artsy new york, several at wall street banks, a poised to return to trading russian bonds. having reported, he received that not from washington. it's all according to bloomberg. this is despite the ongoing us sanctions on the market of the us treasury has started, wouldn't be a violation of sanctions on russia if investors quote wind down that positions with the bank of america. reportedly, one of 2 banks behind the move, notifying investors that trading would allow the disposal of russian holdings, jack ramos, and economics and put a politic professor as, as the move exposes a loophole in the us sanctions. what it represents is that the sanctions
9:28 am
are for holes and oftentimes either menu as government or a lift them temporarily perhaps, but nonetheless, lifts them. a natural gas, natural gas and oil in europe. but be surprised how much of the industrial commodities have have exemptions, especially for american corporations who need nickel and some of the other key resources. so the, this is a pretty much a shambles except for certain military goods. and this is just another example. the banks are really exposed if they're going to just hold onto the debt that they have the russian debt and they can do anything with it. just another example that they're all kind of a loop holes in the general holes in the whole sanctions regime. or thank you. joining us, hey, for your bald headlines from moscow. court authority international will be back soon with more updates from a what's been called sabotaged in
9:29 am
