10:05 am
entangled for us. that is nothing to discuss. we don't have enough attuned to yet, but once we get it, which will target his issues. so it's ukrainian attacks on russian territory becoming more and more destructive. it makes one wonder how far the hostilities can actually go. well elsewhere in russia, the f, as b has commented on what it calls a series of sabotage is and the curtis region near the ukranian border authority say keeps agents have blown up several power supply lines that are linked to a local nuclear power plant. the perpetrators are set to be on the run with a manhunt currently underway. well, meanwhile, here in moscow, president vladimir putin has criticized western politicians on ukraine. or the russian leader said they are prolonging the conflict by sending more and more weapons to the country. yes, we do in order to maintain their gemini, they need conflicts. therefore they decided that the people of ukraine are to be cannon fodder. they implemented the anti rush project in the rain was the turned
10:06 am
a blind spread of neo nazi ideology to the massacres of people and on bass and go to the pump towel and continue to pump up. the key of regime with arms, including heavy weapons, is what the situation in ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out. this conflict de the reaction came during the president speech of an international security conference, or the event is being organized by russia's defense ministry, and is dedicated to the current world geopolitical situation. and as tensions escalate. military experts come together to discuss mutual concerns. and roger's defense minister also spoke about nuclear security amid the ukranian crisis, saying that of russia's aim is to prevent any type of nuclear incident. from a military point of view, there is no need to use nuclear weapons in ukraine to achieve the set goals. the main purpose of russian nuclear weapons as to deter and nuclear attack are now to
10:07 am
the latest from the military conflict inside ukraine. and dawn by the local officials say that a russian life forces are advancing and they don't yet script public reaching key ukrainian strongholds on the front lines up and look at this map of the neighboring lugens republic is under full control of allied forces, the retreating ukrainian troops have left behind boss supplies of unused ammunition . let's get a report now. here's our correspondent. our tv goes down off. 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 soft get made, but they abandon both soviet made and western supplied javelin, marseilles, british and laws, equally alike when ukrainian troops and this little village received in order to fall back. it was already too late. russian troops had critically closed in making their escape a herculean task key of forces,
10:08 am
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 and those that are deemed safe to use. they are being sent to the front. those that are not, well, they're safely destroyed. every other st junction here has been excavated and turned into miniature strongholds inside civilian houses. foxholes providing quick shelter from the showings. it really couldn't 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 the home were destroyed. there are trenches across the whole town. they defended
10:09 am
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 and the gone back, 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 this, we have no place to return to the german tax payers will not have to foot the bill for replacing russian gas imports as a result of cost of western sanctions. now that's according to germany's economy minister who are slapped a special levy on local households is only like greece. levy is the fair, responsible way to distribute and bear the additional costs that have accrued among the population. when the alternative would have been the collapse of the german energy market and with a large part of the european energy market,
10:10 am
germany developed the business model that was largely based on the dependence on chief russian gas to this model has failed and it is not coming back on time at all, the minister also stressed that germany will need to quote, change in a hurry. as the countries households will now be paying almost 500 years more for gas on a yearly basis. and the levy will come into force on october. the 1st, this size, germany's largest russian gas importers have been struggling to handle the soaring prices. and the government's been under pressure to well off relief measures for its citizens. so let's take this conversation further. joining out rain rockford geopolitical analyst and chairman of a local abroad of the germany is a f d party. great to see today. thanks for joining us here in our t international. i just wanted to ask you 1st and foremost, german politicians, sanction russian gas, and pass along a hefty bill to the people. i guess my question is, who's actually being sanctioned? here is obviously the germans. statistical bureau of germany
10:11 am
has informed that in july of this year, the germans paid 36 percent more for gas and for energy compared to july the last year. and so the gas levy is only the tip of the iceberg . all together, the story energy prices, which have been caused by those sanctions. and largely they are the driver of a very high inflation rate in almost 8 percent in the growth. right. a russian, that gas is the backbone of the german economy. the german economy is the backbone of the european economy at a time with inflation energy crisis and currency is not really doing as well as they should be cutting off such an economic lifeline with the russian gas being essentially just throwing out the window. it almost looks like perhaps to some the european politicians are just almost sabotaging the european economy. well,
10:12 am
it seems so, and we have to ask, who gets the orders for this, for these decisions for this behavior? and even our energy minister, hobbit has made it here in the united states, the order who make us take the one or the other decision. i mean, we hardly believe when we heard it when it was earlier this year already in washington. and he got told by president biden, that he had the means at hand to stop, not free to, i mean what's ready. it was built, it could have opened already last year in september. and now it became true. it was shut down. and this is totally against the interest of the german economy economy, which of course, on chief recall not recall which if intelligence which it has a technology rich but remain in good condition. we need all affordable energy.
10:13 am
otherwise, we will ship other country where the market will favorable in the cheese, which can give me a lot of energy. and we think of wanting that if the issue more and more by the german. so right now we've got energy crisis for europe at the moment. we've also got these wildfires in europe. we've got widespread. his historic drought says, well, the reports are saying that even 70 percent of french farmers, for example, are saying they're not going to have their usual harvest at the end of this year. so you've got currency issues, energy issues, potentially looming food crisis to do things with cutting off russian gas and essentially sanctioning the german people here. it, it just exacerbating what is already a really bad situation. yeah, of course, i mean, crisis of different kinds are accumulating nature made and human made a crisis and at least the human a price is we could and be, should
10:14 am
a white in these times. i mean, the economy you have going through very hard times the past 2 years through corona locked down policies which were totally nuts in terms of medical arguments. and also we can the industry very, very strongly and set up in a recovery process which we expect that now we have this major crisis in terms of and that she permission. so this is too much and i think all the politicians in our now about all in germany would be, well it wise to both rises and to get back to the reassessment of your brain tries to look at it more. yeah, i would say no critical way also and making reassessment which to the route and well brainer. you might imagine when, when you mentioned the politicians say, the german and european politicians one might imagine that their political shelf life is going to expire very, very soon with all the crises facing europe these days. well,
10:15 am
what about the idea that there is some german politicians warning they might be popular unrest this autumn and into the winter the people are going to say they've had enough. they can't afford to pay that household bill if they've got no gas coming in. the children a cold trying to sleep up stairs. do you think we might get some protests some time around the autumn or winter? definitely, definitely. this is what the government agency is already expect and award against they already address those people who may get on the street ask right wing extremists, this is always to stay in the rates. if, if you're not agreeing with government policies, you're right wing extremists, but it will not help. i mean, if people have to carry burden like what kind of how it is because of the gas the brighten triplicate it. then this is the and i would say tolerance of freedom choices for petitions, they will have to find
10:16 am
a confusion. it will be a hard time for them to, i guess, i guess one of the questions should be, you know, all these politicians really acting in the best interests of their constituents, rayner, officer, geopolitical analyst and chairman of a local branch of germany's a f d party. a pleasure to have you one. thanks for the chat. thank you. well, meanwhile, more and more media reports have been revealing so called information fatigue. this is regarding in europe and the west with public concerns coding from the ukraine crisis to war towards, well, domestic issues as i was just discussing with rayna just a few moments ago his, our contributor rachel marston, she has mall. the price at 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 any 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. no,
10:17 am
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 like outrage over the invasion as giving way to concern bordering on panic, about its 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 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 reveal that energy prices are scaring more people than russian nukes . so western governments, art putting the squeeze on russian president vladimir putin as much as they are on
10:18 am
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 crutch. 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 guess. at some point, public pain at home, overwhelms western citizens, initial good will towards ukraine. and although sweden and finland used this wasting a cray 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,
10:19 am
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, why as the see piece, 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 a horrible miscalculation from which western officials art backing down, retard 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 sanctions on there, they hurt us more than they hurt potent did. western officials know that they be
10:20 am
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, often stones growing and riots. that's how the elections ended in kenya, where william roto has been declared the official window. now the result has court outrage among supporters of his opponent, the former prime minister, rayleigh, a dingo. ah, [000:00:00;00]
10:21 am
with both of the pictures basically speak for themselves a victory cause outrage. according to the official count, he received 50.5 percent of the vote, narrowly defeating rayleigh, dingo, but fall of the 7 electoral commission members refused to confirm the results which could see a legal challenge from the opposition, prolonging uncertainty in a country critical to the economy and security of east africa. well, mr. auto who ran on a rags to riches story argued that he was best position to represent kenya's youth and the poorest people didn't go on the other hand, built his campaign on highlighting his opponent's hypocrisy, claiming route i was well to being acquired through corruption. let's get this
