2:05 pm
and this was all the stakeholders, why on board? the idea was that we would improve our relationship with russia. and we would, you know, we have trading links with russia. we want to improve the trading links. we already were a pipeline. a gas pipeline was, was being planned 56 years back before i came to power. so we wanted to cement that contract and then we wanted to buy cheaper oil from, from russia, as well as wheat. 100000000 budget sundays of hon. 50000000 below the poverty line. 50000000 just above the poverty line. when the prices go up, when inflation bites in western countries, they only, they just have a drop in the standard of living in our country, people go below the poverty line. they're going to have to square be the day. so my interest was the people up august on and obviously this didn't go down when well,
2:06 pm
you'll be able to watch your exclusive interview with former pakistani prime minister m ron. can it is a comprehensive sit down infill later in the day here on rti. ok. ok, let's move all know to the latest developments in the ukraine, conflicts according to authorities in supper. rosier electricity supplies have been restored throughout the region after what was reported to be continuous shelling by key forces that affected the work of the local nuclear power plant. their earlier report said, a number of varies ends up and russia, including the cities of her son and meli. topo faced the blackard. that's after shelling started fires in a forest that caused a failure of power lines. while rushes defense ministry claims more than 300 ukrainian troops had been killed in the past 24 hours among the fatal. a teacher said to be around $200.00 reserve soldiers who were targeted in the strike on the shaft. leno, railway station,
2:07 pm
nuts in the southeast of new crane. in these on verified images, you can see a large column of ukrainian military vehicles in the back run there on the train that was targeted off the station orbit camp claims. at least 25 civilians were killed and more than 30 injured in the strike and footage is released from the scene the day after shows no sign of those military units. russia has repeatedly stressed that there is no target civilians was russian and allied forces advanced on the territory of the done yet republic. the title of dia, one of the main posts of ukrainian fighters, is now being encircled. it's a strategic point. as keepers excuse a regularly shelling done yet can other talents from positions there are 2, corresponding eager should done up reports from the front line where a crew came under artillery fire ah,
2:08 pm
right away. the village of elk grove scale, wipes out any doubts. it is still very much a front line. we're here to join in a lead russian special ops unit supporting the offensive on this part of the front . with study lennier affordable ukrainians, abandoned their positions as always in a hurry, fit your way all of their inventory. you can see a foreign made jacket here. madison's 1st aid kits and overhears their fortification trench. so the main purpose of this fortified area, just outside the village of krakowski, was to north allow this village to be encircled from the south. now also this position was where the ukrainian forces tried to briefly gain a foothold after it was clear that the village itself had fallen. we are quite
2:09 pm
literally treading on egg shells. here, upon abandoning this position, ukrainian troops rigged the whole area. they used cluster munitions to scatter hundreds of anti personnel mines all over the place. such munitions are explicitly bound by the geneva convention. the blast is more than enough to tear one's foot right off zap as have their hands full extracting anti tank minds to russian motors and how it says he abound enemy positions around the clock. ukraine's artillery pulls no punches either. something that we witnessed 1st hand with yet keep troops efforts to stool. russia's advance proved to be futile with the
2:10 pm
main fighting, already engulfing the streets. are to come again. don reporting from the don bass r t. i'm staying in the republic. the patrol ski district opt in yet city has been shell by ukrainian forces with anti personnel mines. that's according to local officials who said the attack occurred on wednesday. when it is not the 1st time kia has been accused of using mines, banned under international law. there are reported regular use on the front lines and don boss, or rally and moscow, which was aimed at bringing international attention to the issue on the news war behind me. one of those who saw the protest was a brazilian artist who then created a work showing the menacing nature of the explosive devices carless like to face his intention was to highlight war crimes being committed on the most vulnerable law is the status of my work was to show the civilian population, the danger of these explosive devices, the dog, the cities,
2:11 pm
their inhabitants are the 1st victims of mines, especially children, and the elderly, or international treaties regulating the production and use of these minds. my opinion, they should be complete and band. i believe that the use of these mines in cities is a war crime. there are clear examples in history, cambodia, and angola such a greatly from these minds. even after the end of the was they continue to operate, is time to decide which side you're on. it's important to understand what's at stake. you can't stand aside. i quite clearly understand that russia was pushed into this conflict. this is the fault of nato expansionism. it was necessary to create a certain situation which was done in ukraine in order to put pressure on russia, push it into conflict, justify western sanctions, and attacks on russia as during the cold war. or i to more global news now, u. s. congress members have been asked to approve a significant financial aid package for the improvement of human rights in india.
2:12 pm
the biden administration requests $117000000.00 in foreign assistance to india for the financial year of 2023. congress could consider whether or not condition so all of such aid on improvements in human rights and civil liberties in india. the request was made a month after you said chief samantha power travel to new delhi, praising india's importance and country regional challenges. she said like china, the united states world, human rights concerns about india were not mentioned despite much criticism from american officials previously. the buddy. it has been india's multiethnic, multi party democracy that has allowed it to withstand the challenges it has faced and come out ahead, stronger and more resilient. earlier we spoke to india is former a foreign secondary can. well sir bol? who offered some thoughts on the possible motives behind the funding request in the
2:13 pm
cost of this money. and we'll, we'll give this money too, because we have very well established rules and regulations regarding foreign money coming into india to and deals and other things. and if this money is intended for a political purpose, then i don't think our rules will allow this. the u. s. senators really often believe that individually, the many that all the world and then direct and ship detection, which the world would go now they would take a moral high ground to say that they are the defenders on right. look at the issue of racism and i still haven't been able to solve my 1st i tend to their own problems. look at the shooting that vehicle is constantly in schools, in malls, in st. innocent people are being children are being killed. but there is no consciousness of this, even if some other countries, yeah, can point out all these things to the united states. you know,
2:14 pm
they don't control the, the national information is controlled by the west and his agency. so this is all kind of a posturing and show and embarrassing india so. so if you use that are working against us and behind this, let me tell you, is our position on the ukraine crisis. they are very unhappy that we haven't condemned russia. we haven't voted against russia, and this is one way that certain lobbies in the united states are actually paying us back by eating at us on the issues of human rights and minority rights and things all are not unrelated theme. washington is intensifying pressure on anchorage to cut ties with no sco saying any cooperation with russian companies and banks puts tricky at risk of coming under us sanctions. any individuals or entities provided material support to you as designated persons are themselves at
2:15 pm
risk of us sanctions. turkish banks can not expect to establish correspondent relationships with sanctioned russian banks and retained their correspondent relationships with major global banks, as well as access to the u. s. dollar and other major currencies. well, just a reminder, turkey is the only nato state that did not join a cascade of western economic sanctions against russia. the turkish president rather positioned himself as intermediary in the conflict and ukraine, urging both countries to start peace negotiations. earlier this month, reggie tie berto on and his russian counterpart vladimir putin agreed to boost cooperation of a summit in sort she, we discussed with some guess how turkey is dealing with being caught in the middle . but i don't think that the mounting pressure from the west is any surprise. turkey experienced it in the past. we haven't seen any strong reaction to said that it's going to continue doing business with russia and not allow sanctioned individuals accessed the bypass western sanctions. but that doesn't change the fact
2:16 pm
that you're going to continue doing business with russia. i think turkey relationship with the west, from a western perspective is, can't live with them, can't live without them type of scenario. of course there's issues that are major flash point issues that you just can't get along with the with and it feels like it's impose the double standard. but again, there's an issue that is absolutely critical to the west, whether it be middle eastern and mediterranean black, the security, whether it be logistics energy quarter. these are all the issue that tricky is absolutely critical. counterterrorism absolutely critical. now from a turkish perspective, to the, the east growing, growing every single day. i think one of our most famous comments over the past year is to is we're entering a century where the sun remembers that it rises in the it seems america sanctions aren't just about solely targeting russian is not a fur claim for this time to meet giorgio of the world does not side with us about
2:17 pm
$150.00 countries while including china in the brakes are not sanctioned in russia . they continue to trade with russia really against a lot of the interest of these countries, especially when they come to necessitate necessities. it is to be not up to this country to trade or not free with russia. unfortunately, that's what it looks like. there is no grey area with the united states. their positions normally is you're either with us or against those, but we're shipping towards a multi polo world now and the globalized economy. close relations with multiple countries wide foreign policy portfolios don't really allow this type of black and white foreign policy viewpoint, especially toward other countries. when you try to impose this on other countries, china and other countries have the right to decide home to maintain normal tre
2:18 pm
relationships. with especially now less than one 3rd of the member states of the nation have supported essentially, james russia. sooner or later, the rest of the world is going to create a viable, globally accept the alternative to the switch system. and there is going to be a 2nd convertible currency that is not a western currency. it looks like most likely that's going to be the you want in the future once it becomes more convertible. and that's going to create the probably the most serious shock to us power in a very, very long time. the fall i from the sanctions against russia over the conflict in ukraine has turned europe into quote, the 3rd world of the western world. economies out as, according to an article recently published in forbes magazine. it comes, those figures show european stock markets are done a full 22 percent compared to last year, or 2 contributor rachel marston offered her thick,
2:19 pm
terribly. it's investors who are starting to wonder whether the european union is on the verge of becoming the 3rd world of western economies. according to that forbes article, you really have to wonder why heads of state across the block are just sitting there, slack jawed, and just letting it happen. what's even more troubling is that no one's talking much about how the you can pull out of this kamikaze tailspin. but the new piece in forbes dropped some clues as to possible outcomes. micro traders are looking for 2 signals for europe and the world economy. these are a sci fi in ukraine, or europe becomes so desperate this winter on supply chain. so stretched that it has no choice but to relax some sanctions or convince non u partners to be label and tron ship russian commodities to look in. compliance with the own rules was really doing an end around. now your leaders are behaving like they're like, by my single one day. german chess are off,
2:20 pm
schultz is in canada, bragging about a 5 year hydrazine energy project. well as on industrial plants are staring down the barrel that shut down right now. now the next day, berlin is back to firing up coal plants. and yesterday, french president amendment my whole rebroadcast, had a meeting with ministers. you know, the kind that's not usually for public consumption. now the message he apparently wine frances, as to here is this the end of abundance. and there's need to make sacrifices for freedom. now, doubtful friends citizens feel more free right now as their currency crashes in cost of living skyrockets, along with energy prices. you know, we're talking here about the 2nd largest economy in the u after germany, and that helps to keep the economies of the other member states of fro afloat. now france thought he could bank on nuclear, to replace gas from russia. but now we've learned that it can only get about half of its nuclear power plants operating. so the big problem is that no one really knows where these top yukon emmys are headed, and investors citizens would like to know where all this is going. and it's pretty clear that the leaders of the nations themselves,
2:21 pm
art inspiring confidence in their moves. instead, they're acting like they're just bystanders to crash when reality they've aided and abetted all this at every term by supporting self harming top down sanctions at the eas, supranational level to the detriment of their own economies. now these heads of state were elected democratically to uphold their own citizens interest above all else. and when you have to read the riot act here on citizens about how their way of life is ending as mac hold in yesterday, then there's no doubt you failed miserably. in your basic duty as an elective head of state, now at least the leaders can still brag about being unified in their failure, as they bury their own responsibilities and elected officials inside the black, you box and hide behind the unelected. you commission present, ursula vander lames. skirt or pansy, whatever the case may be. you know, maybe that warm and fuzzy unity talk will heat europeans homes and put food on their tables this winter to pay for ukraine. thought as the message of prime
2:22 pm
minister boris johnson, to britons, who he sees in the name of freedom for the eastern european nation must endure storing energy builds poverty under, quote, catastrophic winter. otto, is it since to pay for british taxpayers to support freedom in ukraine? i say it is absolutely vital, and we've got to continue to do it. mister johnson's words came during a surprise as if by the art going pm to ukraine's capital. the u. k itself is currently suffering from skyrocketing inflation, which is on truck to had 18 percent and early 2023, according to some predictions. now that would be the highest inflation peak in some 4 decades. you're so, boris johnson's calls for people to be prepared to pay the price have gone down with some just imagine being so wealthy, so privileged and so utterly lacking in empathy that you can't see that people in
2:23 pm
poverty suffer, struggle and die in a crippling financial crisis. this is everything that's wrong with boris johnson. you don't balance this war on the backs of suffering british children and thereby escaped the government's responsibilities to those kids. boys johnson playing the champion of all things ukraine, when he's a busted flush on the home front is utterly transparent. so he's obviously making a last ditch attempt at being an international statesman. after being such a monumental disaster domestically with prices soaring wages falling further behind british trade unions of launched a campaign called enough is enough. it's meant to put pressure on the government to tackle the cost of living crisis. the movement is calling for a real pay rise for workers energy bills to be slashed the end of the poverty, and we're taxes on the wealthy. one leading union leaders said it's time to turn the younger of the people into action. the working class is back. we refused to be
2:24 pm
humbled. we refused to wait for politicians and we refused to be poor any more. ahead of the communist party of britain, robert griffin said the u. k is currently witnessing a level of strike action that housing thing for decades and others something the incoming prime minister is going to have to tackle immediately. people really aren't quite as stupid as the the zone be prime minister. and as i'm rosa want, is position seem to think they are and for people to pay these enormous bills is not, is not money that's going towards support in ukraine in the wall. it's money that's going straight into the coffers or the dividends, or the oil companies. and energy companies and their shareholders public, undoubtedly the public or rally and 2 initiatives such as enough is enough, as well as the other campaign in bodies. there's support for strike action,
2:25 pm
a level that i certainly haven't seen for decades in britain, there's a lot of sympathy for workers who are fighting back against real terms coach in their pay and fire and re fire and replace policies and so on. so there really isn't of search of anger. and it means that when the new prime minister takes over in early september, they are going to be confronted by that title, wave of protest. war between russia and the u. s. could lead the world into nuclear winter. that's the conclusion of a group of american scientists who released the paper, calling for the urgent need for global cooperation. according to their research, more than 5000000000 people would die as a result of conflict between the 2 countries. nuclear war in their words, would be hard to avoid the u. s. it's allies in russia possess more than 90 percent of the global nuclear arsenal. similar warnings also recently came from the u. n.
2:26 pm
chief who said she melody is just one misunderstanding away from nuclear annihilation. let me put in meanwhile, has said in the case of a nuclear war, there can be quote to the no winter nation of ukraine. on earlier i spoke with the scientists behind the report to say there warning isn't sensationalist. the findings of your research frankly, is, is terrifying. did you expect the conclusions to be as extreme as they were? no, i didn't expect that they would be this extreme. this is the 1st time you ever and looked at the agricultural losses from the climate disaster that would occur after a nuclear war on a country by country basis. now we've studied, for example, the young daily temperatures in a place like ukraine, which is a bed or red breasted, if europe, and it once the war starcy radcliff freezing. there is no day for more than 2 years
2:27 pm
in which there is not a day in, in, on temperature, below freezing. we calculate how many people would die from the direct effects of the nuclear. ready were the horrific effects we already know about number of people that would die from starvation, far removed from where any bombs will be dropped was more than 10 times the number of direct effects. the non proliferation treaty negotiations are just ending today in or tomorrow, i guess in a, in new york at the united nations. and the questions will be the final statement. ready of the 9 nuclear nations, including the u. s. and russia, make a commitment to reduce nuclear weapons and go on with article 6 of this treaty, which they've been ignoring for a while. this is not just a u. s. nato. russia problem its and involves the entire world and all these countries have to have nuclear weapons and need to resolve their problems without my having a nuclear conflict. there are people that build weapons. there are people that in the military that are in charge of them and i think their careers will continue if
2:28 pm
the fear and the conflict a continuance. brian hip benefits from nuclear proliferation. no one benefits from nuclear proliferation. and since it's a waste of money and united states is rebuilding as nuclear arsenal, people have different aspects of the cost, trillion dollars, rushes building up, all kinds of new weapons. no one benefits from mountain weapons can be used. they just sit in their round writing. so it's like taking money and throwing angel on the ground and carina, you know, $1.00, why do we use the money for something beneficial? like, you know, we're developing new energy sources to get around the global climate problem, or educating our citizens or making people who have less money than others, more equitable. there's lots of things we could do besides just building useless weapons that will never be used, can ever be use gender if it were using were destroyed in the civilization across the earth, around housebroken,
2:29 pm
its record for its largest presence of an international exhibition. here in moscow, the western asian countries biggest car manufacture is presenting its top products and seeking to secure a future contracts in russia. the trade for is all about automotive production cars on parts for them, and has 18 countries participating. reaction from the ceo and president of the iran called ro, international group who said, cooperation is a key target right now. the russian market is a special target for the iran co dro industrial group that has 60 years of experience. our company has exported more than $30000.00 vehicles to russia and we plan to export more of our new cars. one of the main targets for iran is to create joint ventures with russian companies. and we have already discussed the cooperation between the 2 countries with the russian authorities and the message for the world is that iran will always stand beside the russian market. nice

looking car beside them as well. and that's is there a lot for noah, but more programs get their starting moment. see what showing where you are today? right ahead. this is our to international. ah, a proud disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.
