2:04 pm
a house to house search will begin to evaluate the damage. but every one affected will receive assistance. you will put a florida shifter. we woke up at 6 am after here in an explosion. then the blasts came more frequently in the bathroom as trunk, blast waif covered as we lay down in the bathroom with a child place her fell down. every one ran to the basement. you know a yard wood chips were flying everywhere. some kind of detonators from shells or something like that were lying around. they was such powerful explosions that he was really scary. and with children, the very scared a shall flew into the neighbor's yard and into the house. it did the detonate and it just lay there. another explosion completely demolished the wall near the house of our neighbors. woodrum 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
2:05 pm
basement. we sat there for 3 hours. it was frightening. does it go to moscow now, where dozens of top military officials from some of the world's most powerful countries are sitting down for talks that mulling over the current job little state of affairs around the world. and the concerns of the event is hosted by rogers at defense ministry as a correspondent 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 west's 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
2:06 pm
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. that will give you this week in order to maintain their had gemini, 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, they pumped up and continue to pump up the key of regime with arms, including heavy weapons. the situation in ukraine demonstrates that the united states is trying to drag out this conflict. certainly after potent speech,
2:07 pm
we heard from russian defense minister, sir gay, shy grew, 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 others, many others are actually finding their way into the hands of russian troops in the, in the form of war trophies. but probably the most important thing shy goose said during the speech is that russia is not interested in employing nuclear weapons in the ukraine conflict. with, 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 is to deter a nuclear attack. so some 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 short time ago.
2:08 pm
here in the program, i spoke with retired indian and marshall and head of the peninsula foundation. think tanka and mothers. what on? he says the world has been dominated by the western military industrial complex for, for too long. looking up speaking all makes you find that the world has been dominated and much of the instruments of global governance as cute the words western economy dominance across the if you end up in union that they can shape quite independently. and if you as an allow the opinion and to look off, it's a good security. they wouldn't have been much problems. it's only when nato has now taken center stage to take care of the entire up in the que would be western europe security, particularly, and europe in union. now, actually let them have they realize that they've actually become enslaved american lead the european lead. you know, i mean, it can lead to economic system. and once you get selected to where you are part of
2:09 pm
the overall military industrial complex, low the economic order. now to the latest from the military conflict inside the ukraine and on bass, that ukrainian forces have reportedly shelled containers of nuclear waste at a new power plant. this, according to the local authorities, the reactor is protected by the complex itself. the ukraine is apparently hitting the cooling systems. officials are telling us. meanwhile, local authorities, a russian lead forces are advancing in the don yet republic, a reaching key ukrainians. strong holds on the front lines. you can see it on the map right now. a neighboring lu ganske republic is under the full control of allied forces and the retreating ukrainian troops have left behind a vast supplies of unused on munition and thought is eager to shine off. now reports from the ground. ukrainian troops often have to retreat very hastily and abandoning loads of ammunition has become something of a habit for them. like here,
2:10 pm
for example, you can see dozens of artillery shells. these are some of 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 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? those that are deemed safe youth. they are being sent to the front. those that are not, well,
2:11 pm
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 shelling, so 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, or made them sit in the basements and used them as shields. as we've been covering this war in 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 have no place to return to what it sounds like. they don't have
2:12 pm
a choice. german taxpayers will now have to foot the bill for replacing russian gas imports as a result of western sanctions. that is, according to germany's economy minister who slapped a special tax on german households. if you're on the market, it's decreased. levy is that fair, responsible way to distribute and bear the additional costs that have accrued among the population. the alternative would have been the collapse of the german 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 rushing. guess this model has failed and it is not coming back. one time at the minister also stress that germany will need to quote, change in a hurry is the countries households will now be paying almost $500.00 euros extra per gas per year. the levy will come into force on october. the 1st germany's largest importers of russian gas have been struggling to handle the storing prices, while the government is under pressure to offer relief measures to citizens. and i spoke with the vice president of the a f
2:13 pm
d party and the federal state of bavaria. mister rayner roth was, who says people shouldn't 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 these deficient for this behavior? and even our energy minister, hobbit has made it here in the united states, the north stream to, 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 burden costs or the gas the brighten triplicate it, then this is the and i would say tolerance of freedom
2:14 pm
choices for petitions. they will have to find a fusion. meanwhile, natural gas prices on the markets in europe have reached our highest since march. they're up by more than 10 percent. and this comes as more and more media reports have been revealing so called inflammation, fatigue. elsewhere in europe, the public concerns turning away from the ukraine crisis towards domestic issues such as the energy crunch. let's get the thoughts and opinion now of all the contributor rachel marston. 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 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. 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
2:15 pm
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. public outrage over the invasion is 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 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,
2:16 pm
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. they're 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, we'll talk 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 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,
2:17 pm
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, y as a 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'd heard. 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
2:18 pm
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. this is our to enter national good to have you with us as a u. k. rail union leader mc lynch's spoke to flurry of criticism off. he questioned the western version of the crisis in ukraine. his comments on ukrainian corruption and nazi ideology. course of social media storm. seeing him accused of being pro putin mickely and should focus on get in a fair deal for railway workers and getting our trains run. and again, not a piece of tutoring or chinese communist party. so on top of being paid by his members, he has enough time to do pro bono p. r, for putin, implying that anyone other than russia, putin is responsible for the invasion is
2:19 pm
a pro putin talking point. the trade union leader has been accused of peddling kremlin propaganda after he said that you would provoke trouble in ukraine, where there is quite a lot of corrupt politicians in the interview. he also commented on the freshest grip on ukraine, claiming that ukrainians quote, playing with nazi imagery. they partly behind the escalation of the conflicts. now mclinn, she's not the only one who has been publicly scrutinized after refusing to follow the western narrative on ukraine. even amnesty international found herself in the crosshairs of ukrainian presidency. lensky. after a reason amnesty report said, the ukrainian forces were deliberately using humans as human shields, i should say. and critical voices have also been heard from america with us, conservative and cult oh, saying that there is no point to nato that the u. s. has been dismissing russia for far too long. a political analyst and the u. k. radio host, alexander mccain says, there is no longer room for truth in the public sphere. you are not free to express
2:20 pm
your opinion in britain if you're a public figure and well as mclean. she certainly become due to that he's high profile role in the current round of rail strikes. now it must be said that america might be described as the empire of lies by present boots in britain is a country where wheel locks in a series of self deceptions, no more self to see a group of people can you find than those in parliament and those in the media see elite opinion has to keep a series of lies going on. these lives are about the fact that the about what has happened in ukraine's is 2014. the lies about britain's role in the ukraine, both before and after 2014. and in the current war and the, the reasons that the russian government has for starting what they refer to the special military operation. no truth can be discussed inside the what's called the,
2:21 pm
the public's there in britain the u. s. one's iran to a band, and it's quote, extraneous demands and talks somewhere nearing the international nuclear deal. and it's response to the latest draft agreement to iran says washington isn't being flexible enough. but the us state department begs to differ. the only way to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the j. c. p. away is for iran to drop further . unacceptable demands that go beyond the scope of the j. p. o. we have long called these demands, extraneous, they have no place in vienna. they have no place in the discussions regarding a potential return to compliance with the j secure way. the us and iran are the odds over the us nuclear watchdogs probe into uranium traces found at 3 undeclared sides in the country. a toronto, once the inspections dropped. however, that you use its part in the international deal,
2:22 pm
once iran to address concerns about the uranium sites. iranian demands include the removal of an elite military unit from a u. s. tara blacklist, which washington has refused to discuss alongside the nuclear issue. iran also seeks guarantees that a future us president will not abandon the treaty again. the 2015 deal involved toronto agreeing to certain restrictions on its atomic industry in exchange for the easing of western economic sanctions. however, the u. s. unilaterally withdrew from the deal in 2018 under then president trump, who branded the agreement as fundamentally flawed the current top to revive the pack. the been ongoing for 16 months, and i spoke with iranian foreign policy. analyst said, most of harsh chest, him who says the us has no interest in removing the sanctions on iran. it since the start of the thoughts iran has reiterated that it would take part in the thoughts for removing the sanctions and ending leverage is any kind of leverage is
2:23 pm
a including problems with the i e a. and in other words, you may not go into a deal, especially with a country like the united states, which has been very much irresponsible, at least with regard to so many nations, including iran. and then they keep all the pressures in place. that's the plan. they want to keep the sanction of the structure in place. they do not want to take responsibility for their last the withdrawal from the j. c. p. o, a irresponsibly. they do not want to show committed to any kind of deal if we arrive at a deal ever and all throughout the past months, when there has been kind of stalemate this ox, it's been only the only only uranian party that has been presenting initiatives to get out of the stalemate, and this is the 1st time that they say the, the europeans have brought new initiative often stones throwing
