12:03 pm
unexploded ammunition officers from the federal security service. the investigative committee on the ministry of internal affairs, also working at the scene. of course, let's bring you some of the very latest comments from the head of crimea, sort of a accent of reaching a demonstration which according to the russian defense ministry. the cause of the incident in the junker district was sabotaged. i am continuing to work at the scene where there was a fire and detonation of ammunition this morning. more than 3000 people were evacuated from the settlements of may sco and his obstacle. as soon as the detonation is over, a house to house search will begin to evaluate the damage of everyone affected will receive assistance. somebody look at us lanesha rock. we woke up at 6 am after hearing an explosion. then the blasts came more frequently in the bathroom. a strong blast wave covered as we lay down in the bathroom with a child to plaster fell down. every one ran to the basement in our yard wood chips
12:04 pm
were flying everywhere of some kind of detonators from sales or something like that were lying around them. there were such powerful explosions that it was really scary. our children got very scared. a few of the shell flew into the neighbor's yard and into the house. it did not detonate and it just lay there. in another explosion completely demolished the wall near the house of our neighbors. autumn in the morning, the shelling began. then i sat in the house during the impact, the windows were completely knocked out. i got scared and immediately ran into the basement. we sat there for 3 hours, you mean? so it was frightening joker. all right, so moscow now where dozens of top military officials from some of the world's most powerful countries are sitting down with talked to a alternately mull over jr, pinocchio believe who sans in the state of the world right now. or the of it is hosted by roches defense ministry is on his donald quarter. now reports. well, this year's moscow conference on international security kicked off with a keynote speech by vladimir putin. the russian president focused primarily on the
12:05 pm
western destabilizing role in the ukraine conflict. but also said that this is just one part of us lead efforts to stow conflict around the world. the russian president spoke a bit about those efforts in africa, latin america, and specifically around taiwan, even accused the west of trying to organize a nato style military alliance in the far east. now vladimir putin also said this means 2 things. number one, that the age of unit polarity is coming to an end. and number 2, the west is desperately trying to hold on to the last remnants of it's a gemini around the world. western officials know how many ukraine ukrainians have died in the name of that a gemini, and how many more will die in the name of it in the future. and yet, it seems like that's a risk they're willing to take since, according to russian president vladimir putin, the west has been using these ukrainians as cannon fodder and a proxy war against russia. yet we did julius weed in order to maintain their had gemini,
12:06 pm
they need conflicts. therefore they decided that the people of ukraine are to be cannon fodder. they implemented the anti russia project in ukraine, the turned a blind eye to the spread of new nazi ideology to the massacres of people and on bass echo. they pumped up and continue to pump up the key of regime with arms, including heavy weapons of the situation. and ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict g through shortly after potent speech we heard from russian defense minister survey shy go. and he echoed a lot of what the russian president said in terms of the end of western unit polarity and nato's attempts to fight a proxy war against russia in ukraine. but he also spoke a lot about the never ending a flow of weapons from the west into ukraine. and while unfortunately, a lot of them are making their way into the hands of black market tiers. shy, go also said that the others, many others are actually finding their way into the hands of russian troops in the,
12:07 pm
in the form of war trophies. but probably the most important thing she said during the speech is that russia is not interested in employing nuclear weapons in the ukraine conflict. 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. it's also very high ranking defense officials from around the world have come here to participate in this conference. and that's basically a rundown of what rushes leadership decided to welcome them with less course. now, live to m matters, what they were tied, marshall and president of the peninsula foundation. i think it's great to see you today. thanks for joining us. your analogy international, according to vladimir putin, putin says, the west is trying to save. it's a gemini on the global arena by picking ukraine against russia. what's your take on that statement? right, it's good to be here this evening. i then to fully
12:08 pm
endorse what will put them in the context of the west wanting to retain one day to regain the dominant pollution and mobile order in terms of continuing to exercise control on the 3 below. that is the economic, political, and security pin as well when i, when you actually look at it, i think a lot of changes happened little the last 23 became and particularly after the end of the cold war, the collapse of the old soviet union. and in the last 20 of this century, you've seen the rise of china. the re emergence of russia is the local bar and then the economic rise of india and a lot of fish in country. and so looking at omics you find that the
12:09 pm
world has been dominated, and much of the instruments of global governance. cute was economic dominance across the and that's on the trent. the 2nd, i kind of get the idea that your, your addressing, what putin has said a number of times in recent weeks and months. and basically he's saying that is the end of the new world order a whole brand new world order is being birth. it's a new born world or an a multi polar world. so i wanted to ask you just quickly, before we go off on a tangent, according to put in the west, decided the people of ukraine to be used as cannon fodder. why would the authorities in kiev possibly agree, i guess, to, to something like that when the much of europe has been drawn to was the wisdom liberal economic order. in recent times,
12:10 pm
the practice options i practice offers of integrating them into the european economy economy. that's been economy particularly that's one bought but actually little have they realize that they've actually become enslaved american lead or the european lead. you know, i mean it can lead to economic system. and once you get to the way, then you are part of the military industrial complex absolutely. economic order. so that has been the, you know, real objective. but if you look in union that they can ship quite independently. and if you as an allow the opinion and to look off, it's a good security. they wouldn't have much of a problem. it's only when nato has now taken center stage to take care of the security of western europe security, particularly in union or the job. but i do apologize, but a lot of people have described nato as essentially america's eastern military. ah, me, i wanted to ask you what i still have you with me and running very low on time. so
12:11 pm
i appreciate you joining us here and see a russia who's accused ukrainian troops of shelling the area around the upper orgy nuclear power plot and southern ukraine. we had comments with the chief of the international atomic energy agency, ultimately saying there's no immediate threat, but something bad could happen at any moment. what do you think about this? cuz i understand it was back in march. the russian troops secured this nuclear power plot. they've been essentially guarding it up a since you created a forces have been confirmed to be shelling it one of the potential risks in an all day as serious as some a saying. it's very serious because if something and some kind of an accident and it's collation basically that i'm the nuclear plants and that's the biggest nuclear power plant in europe. i knew you know, what happened, what happened in $8586.00 rivers and accident was going to get those starting for the impact of each. and therefore, all of them are important to actually and show that nothing under what happens with
12:12 pm
respect to the activities around the nuclear power plant. that's one box i'd like you said earlier in the entire process of downsizing, european security on the would to american can. ready the get would be unable to ukraine has become canon for the, for the in those back us when, so not too big, dangerous one. the re conflict will drag on for a long time because of this process. and 2nd is the nuclear accidents. nuclear escalation is i could also take, you know, process it also think and even that could actually happen and we need to be really, really careful. oh that's, that's the big danger. i am. what am i retired and marshall and president of the peninsula foundation. a think tank, we really appreciate you joining us here and see, i thank you for your insight. thank you much. i should be with you. now. let's get the latest now from the military conflict inside ukraine and don bass. bring up the
12:13 pm
maps for you. as local officials say russian lead forces are advancing in the don't yet square public reaching key ukrainian strong holds on the front lines. the neighboring lugens republic is under full control of allied forces and the retreating ukrainian troops of left behind, vast supplies of unused ammunition, reporting from the ground is ortiz, eager to start 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 in this little village received an order to fall back. it was already too late. russian troops had critically closed in making their escape
12:14 pm
a herculean task key of forces ran 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 youth, 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 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 their positions very well. they were preparing for many years. they kicked the locals out of their homes,
12:15 pm
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 this, we have no place to return to appreciate you joining us for the program today here on our t. so the every day german taxpayer has no choice. they'll have to foot the bill for replacing russian gas in poles as a result of western sanctions. that's according to germany's economy minister who has slapped a special tax on job and households on the market is decreased. levy is that fair, responsible way to distribute and bear the additional costs that have accrued them on the population. the alternative would have been the collapse of the german energy market and we lead large parts of the european energy market. germany developed
12:16 pm
a business model that was largely based on the dependence on cheap russian gas. this model has failed and it is not coming back on. the minister also stress that germany will need to quote, change in a hurry. as the countries households will now be paying almost $500.00 euros more per year for natural gas, and the tax will come into effect on october. the 1st, at this, as germany's largest importers of russian gas have been struggling to handle the soaring prices. while the government has been under pressure to offer relief measures for its citizens. and i spoke with the vice president of the a f t party in the federal state of bavaria, right in our office. who says people should not have to carry the politicians button. the gas levy is only the tip of the iceberg, but all together the story energy prices, which have been caused by those sanctions, they are the driver of a very high inflation rate. and we have to ask who gets the orders for this for
12:17 pm
these decisions? for this behavior, and even our energy minister, hobbit has made it here in the united states, the north 32. i mean, what's ready? what could have opened already? last year in september it was shut down and this is totally against the interest of the german economy. now we have this major crisis in terms of and she permission if people have to carry the burden costs or 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 a confusion. meanwhile, stock exchange natural gas prices in europe have reached the highest since march surging more than 10 percent. this comes as more and more media reports have been revealing so cold information, fatigue elsewhere in europe and in the west. the public concerns turning away from the ukraine prices more towards domestic issues, including that of the energy crunch,
12:18 pm
are the contributor rachel mazda now with her thoughts and opinions. 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, 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 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
12:19 pm
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 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,
12:20 pm
initial good will towards ukraine. and although sweden and finland uses wasted ukraine as a pretext for dropping their non aligned position in favor of join nato. earlier in the conflict and new survey finds that 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, why as 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
12:21 pm
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 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 enter asia. now where a court in military run me and mom has sentenced to alice did former leader unsung suit, she to 6 more years in prison. and she was convicted on at least for corruption case, is taking
12:22 pm
a total jail time of 17 years. crimes choose being charged with include bribery, election of fraud and the misuse of public funds. the leader is currently being held in solitary confinement in a prison in the capital of the southeast asian nation. i mean, was it suffered a military crew that was over a year ago, a new government was established. the power shifts spots protests across the country with tens of thousands of people reportedly imprisoned since the army seized power. the military government has previously said suit. she is being given due process by an independent judiciary. i rejects foreign criticism as interference. so let's cross lived journalists to be at a bombing more details. a good to see used to be able to cheat had a long, controversial history, was placed on house arrest for a total of 15 years over at 21 year period on numerous occasions. basically since she began a political career. now we have a new court ruling and how has the public reacted to the latest sentence for things to g?
12:23 pm
while this particular warranted by the so called independent court has actually, you know, no support from the public, the family things that the military is trying to finish or politically. and in fact, perfectly in the sense that she's not exactly getting younger as a friend so long years in prison way. she is not going to sustain her. so physically and politically, they want to finish her and a party to all the previous. ok on all the previous location and i've lived in rock in my much, i know whenever she has been put in june, you know, for all this from south georgia, the real issue is for the military, your sees on fund. so g. 6 are the only person who can actually put together a government which can rule, you know, not my mother has had
12:24 pm
a long tenure of military says i did 62 and therefore it does not have an independent political culture. in the sense, political part is a fairly new. i'm not really comprehend to run government and all tongues will just prove that she won the elections when she contested were the clear margin 5 years ago in 2015 when to one the election. he then the government and the military expected that in the election that the 2019 end of 2019, the natural antique guns of practice will fuller party down and she will not get. maybe she gets a majority of all the savings on sushi has been politically positive for many, many years as you well know. she's, she's a nobel laureate. of course, she's always been heralded by the west as a democracy icon. but you say this is just politicking right?
12:25 pm
here and her reputation is still intact. do you think? i don't, you know, take much about what the west things of are because the west you know, project and how does the poorer, you know, democracy icon. and when. 6 they're going to happen. they also have cars and a lot of countries in the west, too bad be worse than prizes that they gave to us. so i take a variation or very my, you know, regional view on this. i'm not numbered by the western, what they do, what i'm trying to tell you as i've lived in mind, but i know the mind. most people i speak the language and i can tell you one thing for you is that they see that old song fuji is the only one or 2 children. my mother who has a political parties for either not public support. we can challenge the military, or she ran a government for 5 years from 2015. and when elections, when she got a bigger majority, you know, there is
12:26 pm
a story in the sense that in democracy, normally there is something called that income murphy. and when you run a government, you don't satisfy everybody, you tend to get less of mandy. now in india, our primaries regard a bigger mandate than before. so he's running in a very strong way. but that you know that nobody but in my and mars when on time. so g, golf, a bigger learn flight victories in the 2019 went to the lecture me m r. army got very scared because if they realize that if they get a big enough majority, she can change the cost of the 2008 was to do jan, which gives the military a lot of religion. clearly unsung suit. she is, you would say it's a threat to the military establishment, although she's, she's 77 years old, but clearly still a very powerful political figure. suby bol, make a journalist from called cutter india. thanks so much for joining us. we appreciate
