arms race is often very dramatic development only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk. a thing right here in my lap is direct evidence of the west supplying the gradient army with internationally bound weapons . this is a german made empty tank mine the mining operations and much more fighting. and don bass continues r t take a look at the duties of the russian national guard there with a bloody business, a ukrainian company makes thousands of dollars, offering deadly munitions as a canvas to deliver people's gate messages to russian soldiers divided administration again refuses to return billions of dollars in frozen and funds to

its owners. dashing the hopes of desperate local left by the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos and then they froze our money and destroy for us or go hungry in kenya, ice, bike and gas prices. has essentially turned environmentally damaging charcoal into the only energy source canyons can afford. with hello and welcome to our international top news stories from around the globe. i'm fiorella is about happy to have you join us from wherever you're tuning into the program. we begin and on bass, where ukrainian forces have shelled a residential building in the city of purple mice in the lugens people's republic using an american supplied high mars artillery system that's according to local authorities. here's the aftermath of the shelling.

ah lugens the 30 say at least one person was killed and 3 others wounded, including a child in the attack. ukrainian forces are said to have fired 3 rockets, one which hate the civilian building. local officials of started a criminal probe into the shelling which they say is further evidence of genocide. de mining operations also continue across the front line were russian forces are helping to remove many munitions. banned by the international community. are teasing or stun of looks at the duties of russia's national guard for ukrainian

forces. no tactic is off limits. no weapon is to brutal, international backs. agreements and conventions have long gone out of the window. and this thing right here in my lap is direct evidence of the west supplying the ukrainian army with internationally band weapons. this is a german made anti tank mine and inside it has a magnetic sansom. so this mine, it knows when a heavily armored vehicle with a lot of metal inside drives even close by. it doesn't even have to directly hit a mine for it to go off when it's sensors, the presence of an armored vehicle. so right now it has been disarmed, of course, and i, as i've talked to the sappers, they take off anything metal, all the armor before working with this mind because it can go off just by sensing an armored vest again. such munitions are not legal to use under the international law. it is so sensitive it could be triggered even by the minesweeper when it's

hovered over. that's what makes it a frowned upon choice of munitions. according to the defense ministry of russia, the national guard sap has discovered it on the outskirts of our tour mosque. the cities arguably the biggest hot spot in the don bass right now. with russian infantry already fighting within the city limits, special forces of the national guard are providing cover these guys operate by the one shot, one kill rule, and they're not wasting any bullets on ordinary targets. markers are better than our mission is to deploy currently and hit the most important targets. a key it says wasn't put in tiffany laqueena, goering, unit commanders, machine gunners, snipers, and others in areas more. remote from the front lines, rushes national guard has its hands full to diversion. squads remain active behind the lines and the on down. yes. was a sham good during the year we run

a check point for civilian cars, prevent sabotage and reconnaissance groups from infiltrating into the area of responsibility and check whether civilians are carrying any prohibited materials group. it's mostly people returning home after 8 years of absence. they want to see what happened to their homes, if any belongings or documents still remain or they take them away with them with permission from the military police. oh my gosh, dawn of reporting from the don bass r t. signing off on death. ukrainians are offering deadly munitions as a canvass to express people's hatred of russian soldiers. the sign my rocket fundraising platform, south messages on a wide range of munitions to be used against russian troops. clients worldwide pay for their descriptions on bombs and missiles and then receive photos back of the munitions and action. the platforms co founder says the majority of clients are

from the u. s. a claims to provide money for the countries war a for yet it is not sanctioned by the ukrainian military. the platform has gone viral since it was featured in the washington post online prompting questions as to whether it helped to promote the targeting of russians. it included examples of feedback from satisfied customers and linked to similar bruce the phobic services, even highlighting the role of quote humor in war. the tradition of resistance is strong, said, year us love read sack a ukrainian historian. she said, humor and obscenities have long typified ukraine's response to foreign occupation. there are so many places that you can send your money that will directly alleviate human suffering in this war that are in this so many ways you can help that. don't glorify and cheapen the constant tragedy of war. yeah, it's pretty weird to see people rejoicing as they see strangers being blown up 3000 miles away in a city they can't pronounce, save girl

a radio host and political commentators, as such, platforms, promote hatred and should be condemned by both american and ukrainian governments. i don't think it's funny, particularly when you have civilians who are paying to have these inscriptions put on these deadly weapons when there was a history in warfare of combatants putting an inscriptions or messages on bombs or missiles. but you know, they're firing at each other and they are at risk to have somebody who's thousands and thousands of miles away safely as guys in their home participating on this is, you know, quite frankly, i think sick, this is not some game. these are deadly weapons. and the ukrainian weapons are not particularly precise. so when they go awry and did some family in done asked when they killed children, it began to seem funny to the people that were inscribing anniversary messages on these weapons. it is not funny, it is sick. and frankly, it's disgusting. i think the coverage of the washington post definitely promotes

into something that, you know, people may want to go online and participate in. rather than condemning it for kind of the sick humor that it, that it represents. this is serious business and, and frankly, the american government and the ukrainian government should condemn it in our special coverage. we continue looking at developments and afghanistan since the last american soldier left it soil one year ago. this month. that's along with the suffering hardship and failure experienced by the afghan people. no nature, no nation has ever done anything like it in all his trip with

on the one year anniversary of the takeover of afghanistan by the taliban. the bite in administration has abandon plans to release billions of dollars of, of can funds held in the us any time soon, leaving locals who faced chronic cash shortages in the last 12 months since america's devastating withdraw in despair. ah, by sorry, off on a sunday after the u. s. froze, our money people moved under the poverty line of banks have given up. they have no solution. the americans are dishonest. first, they left the country in chaos and then they froze our money up. they did this

intentionally to push us into serious trouble and then take advantage from that in the future. it of europe, in my opinion, the us should not miss st. afghans. why the poll people of afghanistan for about 20 years have lived with conflicts hauled ship and suffered poverty. ah, not humble says he went on, we have demanded at washington, implement the agreements reaching doha. we have not violated any of the points in the agreement so far, but we ask others to fulfill darrell obligations as well. ah ah, one of you who know us sanctions have destroyed afghans. homes made children suffer

from famine and literally took the clothes from their backs. only a rare person here can say that they can make clothes for their children and not mentioned the high prices of flower, oil, sugar, and food. if it wasn't taught him why, if we talk about the sanctions, america imposes on our poor and innocent people. they just want to kill people. ah mm . for the lead of minima, we want to be seen as ordinary people were not wizards, where people like them all these countries have reached their present level in 30 or 50 years. and they want us to achieve in one year, even though the condition of the country in which we got it is not good ah,

ah. and to the americas now were the question of who actually rules argentina, when else iris or washington is again on the rise after the country 1st attains and then sees as a venezuela plane at the request of the u. s. a. move that even sparks condemnation from one of argentine as own ambassadors, donald quarter explains a kidnapping and a hijacking. that's what argentina's ambassador to venezuela's calling his country's decision to seize one of caracas aircraft. there is a feeling of injustice among the venezuelan people. there is still a long way to go regarding the hijacked plane. the process must be carried out

intelligently because there are many interests that seek to make this a fight back in june of n, as well in cargo plane was grounded in argentina that washington's request and the u. s. claims 5 of the crewmen were iranians with ties to the islamic revolutionary guard court. although that's an official iranian military organization. it was added to the u. s. his list of terror groups back under the trump administration. argentina's courts have since greenlighted the crew to leave, but that decision is now under appeal and when as well. and president nicholas maduro says this is nothing less than saft, ordered from abroad. zack up artillio is it that the courts of the united states rule in elgin tina that is a venezuela, massive. we have the ownership papers and it is an aeroplane that was going around the world providing service behind my doro, are the voices of the venezuelan people, calling for the plane and its crew to be returned immediately in the line as my mind set in today and we are going to deliver a document to the argentine embassy,

requesting speed in the pronouncement and in the return, not only of the plane, but also of the crew that weatherly represents venezuela. telling one government to ground the plane of another and detain its crew is already a controversial and scandalous move. but what's more scandalous is that this is not the 1st time it's happened back in 2013. washington pulled the same stunt with the president of bolivia himself. he said it, they said it was due to technical issues. but after speaking to the authorities, we found out that there was some unfounded suspicion that mister snowden was on the plane of lamar. we don't know who invented this total lie. someone wants to hurt our country. now perhaps washington believes that this is acceptable behavior for a country that calls itself a democracy. but when countries that the u. s. doesn't like do the exact same thing . they get called regimes like last year when minsk landed a plane carrying roman brought a savage, a so called journalist with the western backed extremist opposition,

telegram channel nectar. we certainly, since you gave me the opportunity to do this and condemn the luther shank as regimes ongoing harassment, arbitrary attention of journalists simply for doing their job on this was a shocking act. diverting a flight between 2 e u member states for the apparent purpose of arresting a journalist a constitutes a phrase in a front international peace and security by their regime geo politics, according to washington democracies, land plains, when they might be enemies of our state. but dictatorships do it when they might be enemies of theirs. it is totally immoral. we have to understand and we understand this very much. so in argentina, that international relations are not governed by international law or democracy or peace. international politics are governed by power in those countries that have a lot of power, like united states, britain, the european union and so forth, imposed there will upon weaker countries as far as south america is concerned.

united states because they are back yard, they are always interfering. it doesn't matter whether it's argentina, venezuela, olivia, columbia, or mexico. they do not want south american countries to come close to iran, for example, to destroy forests or go hungry. in kenya, skyrocketing gas prices and inflation are slowly making charcoal. the only commonly available energy stores robin canyons of less environmentally harmful options. we asked some locals, what force them to resort to using the carbon residue? here's what they had to say. well, my to the neighborhood that i decided to start sell charcoal to locals in my region, who could no longer afford gas because of its high price. the majority in the rural areas depend on charcoal because it is the only energy source they afford to heat food and i sell it at an affordable price. local. well, my, to many, i am the only person authorized to sell charcoal in this area. i have documents,

you can see them here, and i entered into this business to help common citizens who are struggling to get money for gas to some don't even have money to buy food. i am humbly requesting the government allow us to continue with charcoal simply because they have not lowered the price of gasoline. if we don't sell charcoal and cannot afford gas, what do we do then? when do i not? i started using charcoal when gas prices went up earlier this year. i am not quite sure what has been happening in our country, but affording to buy even cooking flower has been an issue, let alone cook and gas. i don't have any other option other than using charcoal, this is the only way i can manage my businesses and also satisfy my family's needs . the energy crisis has now force the government to give out permits to those selling charcoal a trade previously band with more and more canyons forced to use the material for cooking. that's upset. environmental us, concerned over the impact. the rise in the charcoal industry is having on local

ecos ecosystems while calling on the government to address the issue. basically, the cost of willing. so if i increase over time and most of the community around cannot cope with the increasing charges are increasing, cost of electricity are the same time the course of $12.00. so most of them are looking for cheap options to make them run small grid and also household energy requirements on needs. when the will price increases, then $11.00 of the people both at small level or the industrial living out of highly affected. and it means that there will life is destructive to the exit. and this is something that we have seen over time as environmental specialist is reverting therefore that there been before to ensure but environment is

protected. and also the component of having our trees planted unprotected to grow. founder of the future team, alex moore, guy says the canyon government should make gas available to everyone. also protecting the countries natural resources. the major issue, the major problem that is causing the prices to to slot is a landing places because it cannot be improper and p g. also, we do not in terms of the cost control the prices until the price of the plan. so we've seen the reason, months due to, especially due to call the 19 a lpg prize. augusta place on the landing cost has gone up incredibly, maybe up to around 30, to 40 percent tie up when look at the policies in place at the moment. and again, we are expecting on improvement also when you look at how are better to los relationships with our logistics, especially on russia, usa,

r u k. china, you have to come up with policies on how we can salvage off off or if maybe tax exemptions on the lpga the gus promotes. so that can, can be able to use gas, which is on the actual energy level ongoing using con, security support for gas exports. that's the latest planned by e. u. leaders who are now turning their eyes to mozambique to try and replace rushing gas. mostly because the 3rd largest gas reserves in africa and is now set to receive millions of dollars in aid from the block. according to an internal e u document, it aims to strengthen the security of billions of dollars worth of western gas projects in the country. such projects were threatened last year when violence by islamic extremist threatened the northern gas rich province of cobbled delgado.

however, previous please for military support from the you appear to have fallen on deaf ears. the combat involves high cost for our partners. they will not continue for a long time forever and operations can be affected if there is no support. the european union is aware the your plan, however, is yet to receive any backing if approved support will be limited to know lethal equipment. despite mozambique requests for a more serious commitment, in the meantime, western company say they are ready to begin exports to the you in the near future. african security analysts will car d as stresses as support from the west never comes free. right now, did a block give that money to do one? to reduce the rest of the russian, got a guest in europe and maybe in the future to use them with them. we can guess to

supply all the necessary things in europe. mozambique will pay off this support after some years, a re support. right now we will see you big moving forward with most of the not the most that we can the applicant, but this is not for the, for the gus running. no, not going to get a all african countries cementing the new colonies in africa. no danger of collapse. that's the forecast for the russian economy from a major. your asian consultancy chief as western sanctions continue, despite the onslaught of sanctions and the predictions of many observers brushes

economy has not imploded. and although facing a contraction of 5 to 6 percent this year is in no danger of collapse so likely to experience any form of economical financial crisis. the macro advisory, c. e o added that out of the top, 50 foreign companies doing business in russia. only 3 have completely pulled out, adding that the estimated hit to russian g d p is less than one percent. meanwhile, several wall street banks are considering returning to trading russian bonds. that's us fight, continuing us sanctions on the market. american columnist had raw, believes that the western sanctions don't seem to have worked theory was that basically the russian people would be made to suffer. they would suffer high inflation, look, they sh shortages of supplies, they would lose markets for their products. businesses would go under that there would be widespread unemployment, poverty, homelessness,

catastrophe. it appears not to have worked, at least there is no sign of it working so far. i mean, i just got back from 2 weeks in moscow in saint petersburg. and there's of course, no sign at all stores or bus are philip full of shoppers, businesses, brisk restaurants are full of, of people of diners, the, there was heavy pressure, political pressure, not legal pressure for western companies to withdraw from doing business in russia, particularly financial companies, i my, my, my local bank is, is city bank and i was surprised to see the city bank, even though they had made a statement in favor of ukraine, is still operating in russia. when i was there, i was able to withdraw money from my bank account in moscow. you know, thanks and investment firms. they're not in the business of making political points

. they're in the business of making profits. it's, you know, this is capitalism. it's almost a dereliction of their fiduciary duty to their shareholders not to take advantage of every business opportunity they can in every country in the world, including russia, which is a major economy and a major markets. and that's are up on the hours most press a news stories for more of our coverage. read over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on gad odyssey and rumble for more video content and see you again next time with ah, ah, ah

ah, needs to come to the russian state. total narrative. i stayed on the most landscape with within the city. that would be speed. okay, so mine is 25 and speaking with we will van in the european union the kremlin. yup. machine. the state aunt, rush up to date and school or t. sputnik. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with mm
