station let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult on time to sit down and talk and attempted terror attack on a russian control city near ukraine's example. she a nuclear power plant, both according to local officials who say, i kamikaze drug, his phone, the government building with the president phase, ukrainian great is being shipped to wealthy countries instead of those that needed the most. we joined the course of international condemnation of a western failure to help african american energy, ty, current studies, the u. s. will profit here from europe, the fuel crisis making in the big bucks the banks to gas stay within the e u. o.

he is another person who's reported killed in violence between congolese protested and un peacekeepers because she is on the rise for several months. have brought increased scrutiny upon the un mission, and the central african comes with a very warm welcome to you, which just turned to 5 pm here in the russian capital, working off the international with the latest world news update. it's good to have you with us or we start with the latest from ukraine, local authorities, and the russian control city of america, don near the embattled zack, what o g, a nuclear power plant? so there's been a drone strike on the cities administration. headquarters official the calling it an attempt to terrorist attack. these are the latest images we have from the scene off to be kamikaze drone carrying an improvised explosive device detonated on the

roof of the building. authority have recovered and on now examining the remains of the u. a. v and say that we're no casualties in the attack. across in dawn bass, at least one person being wounded in the latest ukrainian shelling of don. yes, according to local officials. they say there is also been increasing numbers of civilians wounded by internationally found the pestle minus which had been scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military and correspondence with long consumer reports on the grounds. john, that trauma sensor continues to receive the wounded civilian said this morning, another woman was wounded here in don't ask not far away from this hospital. she received her injuries to her arm. thankfully, her daughter was very close to her and called an ambulance issues, promptly delivered here to the hospital and the doctors did everything to save her arm right now. i will talk to her and she will tell me about what happened. yes,

leonard, i would look signal madonna. so i was walking to work when the bless suddenly came a piece of shrapnel in my arm. the doctor pulled it out and i will be i'm sick leave. now. i was treated quickly without a cue and everything is all right now, the daughters at the desk, a trauma sensor, are working 24, a 7 in order to help the a wounded patience leverage. but also, some of them are arriving not in ambulances, so their relatives are bringing them here by themselves. according to the head of the local trauma sensor. a lot of the wounds that are those who stepped on the prohibited anti personnel mines, so called butterfly mines. and this is what he told me about the latest injuries. what's the look of horror due to the situation in the city remains tense. the wounded already brought us this morning. recently more than 20 patients were brought in with wounds from pestle mines. in 11 cases, limbs had to be amputated. these are very dangerous weapons designed to main people

instead of killing them. artillery shelling of the nest by ukrainian nationalist continues on a daily basis. killed and wounded civilians is a daily affair at the moment. oh, so civilian infrastructure is suffering as well. there is no running water in the network at the moment, so lot of places are without electricity. this hospital also has no water supply. so local government are delivering water in trucks like these in order to make sure that this hospital is functioning properly, ruin cost or have ard see done next people's republic took his need every debts high. a 3rd to one say is grain is not leaving ukraine to poor countries as was initially promised and is instead going to the wealthy ones. and he's promised to work out a solution to the issue together with russian president vladimir putin. bobby kick

him good will says mister prudence write about one thing for sure. grain is being shipped to wealthy countries and unfortunately not to poor countries. i will discuss this issue with mister putin at the seo summit and some are conte. we also want to start grain supplies from russia. we're looking forward to that. let's begin this process and deliver the cargo to the countries that really needed that unsafe man comes to the day after vladimir putin brought up. the issue at the eastern economic forum sang any 2 cargo ships out of $87.00 have taken ukrainian grain to africa. while the lion's share went to europe, putin accused western countries of deceiving other nations over the great deal and save the agreement should now be re evaluated. according to an stumbled based center for monitoring the grain dale, only 30 percent of ukrainian grain has reached low income countries. meanwhile, western leaders have also been criticized for failing to financially support to

african nations. as ortiz maria financial reports, the west war is a lot about losing ground to russia in africa. at least that's what a confidential internally you report shows. and that's after we've seen some desperate attempts to fix things as a number of us and european leaders. and top politicians recently visited the african continent trying to convince that public and decision makers there that they are loyal friends. but their actions don't really seem to be matching their words. on monday, the netherlands held the african adaptation summit, the 1st of its kind to help the continent tackle the fall out of climate change, 3 african presidents, flu, thousands of miles to be there. so what about western leaders? only one, the dutch prime minister, the host of the venue turned up in person. and the high profile african guests were not impressed. i cannot help but note with some bitterness,

the absence of leaders from the industrial world. i think if we made the effort to leave africa to come to rotterdam, you'll be easier for the europeans and others to be here. i associate myself wholly with these sentiments of precedence mackey sell about. the failure of certain vested interests to be present with us at this meeting. it is my turn to also deplore the absence of leaders of industrialized nations strong words the snob by western liter as seems even more unacceptable given that their nations are responsible for the majority of carbon emissions in the world. as the african participants pointed out. because these are the main polluters of our planet, and it is they who should finance adaptation. the african continent has the smallest impact on climate change, but paradoxically suffers the majority of its consequences. in fact, africa is all, are responsible for 3 percent of global carbon emissions. and yet it bears the brunt of the climate crisis as the most vulnerable continent. despite having

contributed the least to global warming and having the lowest emissions, africa faces exponential collateral damage. posing systemic risks to its economy's infrastructure, investments, water and food systems, public health, agriculture and livelihoods threatening to undo its modest development gains and slipped into higher levels of extreme poverty. the perceived disrespect of westerner is, wasn't the only topic on the agenda. some of the promises industrialized nations made that had failed to meet were also discussed. we find that australia, canada, and the us continue to fall massively short on international climate finance. the u . s. is overwhelmingly responsible for the climate finance gap having provided just 5 percent of its fair share in 2020. although its economy is 40 percent larger than the european union's. it provided only 112th as much climate finance. but are any of those countries even listening? according to the use climate had reached nations,

couldn't care less that african suffer from what westerners are responsible for, because they're simply too busy with their own 1st world problems. let's be frank. many of us citizens in europe will not buy this argument today because i worries a link to their own existence in this energy crisis in this food crisis in inflation crisis. this might seem very strange from an african perspective, but it is always was closer to your o mores is always bigger on your agenda than someone else's worries. a controversial statement at a time when western leader is a telling their own citizens to be prepared to rush an energy cost their food consumption and perhaps have in trees because of the re sanctions they imposed on russia. while the fact that africans are literally dying due to western policies, isn't alarming enough for them to take action. the summit by all accounts confirmed what, what am i putting pointed out recently at the eastern economic for him. when he revealed that most of the grain shipped from unblocked you credit and port went to

the you while only 2 out of $87.00 boats actually went to africa. and it's not easy to argue with that. after seeing what happened at the summit in the netherlands, a chance to call parade, to help fix their mistakes, to create an equal partnership and prove their commitment. all successful, ignored and missed by western countries. roofing ocean on our team. the eastern economic for an a key international platform for building and boosting ties between russian and international investors. wraps up on thursday night. my pearson attended before him, along with some other key needles to discuss world issues and further co operation . the business programming can, did dialogues with the leading partner countries in the asia pacific region, particularly within the format of the ozzy on group of rapidly developing nations in southeast asia. man, man, that deputy information minister emphasize the importance of his country working

with russia to cast off the west and during colonial mindset regarding his country . he rashadi glued to coolly. we must all unite to ensure peace around the globe. western countries feel they are in charge of the world. they still have a colonial mentality. so we need to stick together more than 90 countries have participated in the eastern forum with numerous business people. that's a sign that russia is not isolated from the rest of the world. we understand the russia is fighting for its sovereignty and for the sovereignty of other countries, russia is currently promoting development to the far east. we are also interested in it. we are ready to work with russia. we have been brought together by the fact that the west considers us on friendly countries. if you ask somebody abroad, what they think about russia, than for sure, people will say bad things. but in our country, everyone loves russia. the u. s. a is set to benefit the most from the energy

crisis across the atlantic is american companies will be exporting dance at a significant premium to europe during the upcoming winter. as, according to u. s. energy tycoon, cherice sticky. we are sitting on huge resources. they are not very expensive to produce. we are good at building infrastructure. we're going to be able to develop american gas very affordably and sell it at a significant premium european commission. president ursula underline is for jihad with that black hole that she's been digging for european citizens and the economy, and is proposed to price cap on russian gas import, saying that quote, we must cut rushes revenues, which putin uses to finance this atrocious war against ukraine. he keeps blaming russian president vladimir putin for weapon ising, the ease energy supply. but it's, you officials alike vander lane, who can't seem to stop meddling with it 1st with sanctions. now the price cap, it seems that the more the use, big brain bureaucrats try sticking it to putin. the more russian energy revenues

just keep increasing. vauder lane is also recycling, talking points now from the cove in crisis. remember what we're all told during the pandemic to stay home and hide from the virus to quote, flattened the curve. well now ponder line says that you must quote, flattened the peaks of energy use because that's what drives prices up. some top european politicians apparently aren't too convinced by any of this. if we don't change the sanctions policy, the situation in europe will be uneasy. the thing is that europe has run out of energy. we have to bring it in from other places and the energy that comes here is expensive. it's not a constructive proposal. it's more like another way to sanction russia than an actual solution to the energy crisis in europe. and we don't want to prepare more sanctions now, but rather to solve the situation with energy. meanwhile, german vice chancellor and economy minister robert havoc has now publicly admitted

that it's entirely possible the companies could very well. just stop producing, it's unclear how companies would avoid insolvency with no revenue coming in and overhead to pay and other german politicians are outraged by his remarks. he's come here. flinch joined us. i can imagine that certain industries will simply stop producing for the time being. we see that everywhere now to life, which depends on people's spending, money, flower shops, organic shops, bakeries are part of it and they have real problems because there's a reluctance to buy it and, and then they're not automatically bankrupt, but they might stop selling, dusty boy, dad suave, we can watch him think again and again will you and he can speak pleasantly. but with all due respect, you could see how helpless he was yesterday on german television. one can only hope that the majority of german entrepreneurs were asleep yesterday. we are in the middle of a massive energy problem and to this day, they apparently haven't understood that this is the case. we have the stupidest

government in europe resign. mister ha, back your continued tenure as the minister of economy of germany will lead to the collapse of the german economy. the greens are not politically bankrupt, they have just stopped doing politics. and at some point, when the crisis is over at the latest by the next election, then they will return again. unbelievable. he just has no idea what he's talking about here in france, a private company operating public swimming pools, them having shut down dozens of facilities indefinitely. this week, citing energy bills equal to the company's annual turnover. french economy minister between omega is now offering bailouts to companies whose energy costs represent more than 3 percent of its revenues. yet another crisis where those too big to fail are safe by the government. but what about all the smaller suppliers and economic actors that also are part of the supply chain? can that you really do without them?

or are they going to be bailed out to is everyone just going to be mailed out, kind of like in the initial days of cove, it metallic as to and 40 ceos of leading. you holdings have written a letter of sounding the alarm on the de industrialization of europe. we are deeply concerned that europe face is a critical situation for the foreseeable future with a perfect storm of sky high electricity prices, no energy market liquidity due to insecure gas supplies, a continued nuclear and coal phase out, and the remaining power sources being insufficient to cover market needs, the europe cannot have a successful energy and raw material strategy if it's power and gas prices stay at today's levels for a sustained period without relief. it's not just companies either, but also citizens who are getting fed up as the initial blows of the energy crisis are starting to be felt with protests across the block from germany, to france, to the czech republic and others still being planned. fewer than 40 percent of citizens across $22.00 countries considered the situation in ukraine to be in their

top 3 priorities. thus, according to a new you govern full cost of living and the climate. talked the list of those concerns. and in poland, at least one political figure proposes some innovative solutions for the looming winter energy crunch. one needs to burn almost everything, of course, aside from ties and similarly harmful things because poland just needs to be warmed up. is it possible for the e u to undo centuries of progress and enlightenment in just a few short months? if they were literally trying to do that? it's hard to imagine that they would go about it any other way than they are right now. near the appointed u. k prime minister, his trust has announced a plan for tackling the ongoing energy crisis, but she immediately faced backlash from british opposition. politicians who say her proposal would actually fail to help ordinary people trust proceeded to doubled down on her usual rhetoric that the crisis is all russia's fault. but her critics

were not impressed. the reason we are in this difficult situation, it because a peyton's a holy war in ukraine putin is exploiting this situation by weapon ising energy supplies, where the middle of a national emergency people are really scared. why is a prime minister, the private energy profits had a people? it is crucial fine. there is a clear divide. they've chosen to be on the side of the energy generators. we've chosen chromosome place why the government signed off on the closure of the rough gas storage facility is absolute mob. turner will not resort at a time when people are facing huge energy rows. it seems that the government has decided to deal with this energy crisis of the box of ordinary hard working rig washington. as a once more countries to enforce a price cap on russian oil. the u. s. is particularly pushing their measure on

moscow's traditional allies, china and india, which recently increased that imports of russian fuel. our hope is the countries like china and india will join the price cap, coalition, or take advantage of the price cap coalition to lower the amount of money that russia makes from oil exports. making a new delhi however, don't seem to be interested in complying with washington's controversial policy. as, as russia and china recently signed a new trade deal for painful commodity supplies in their local currencies without using the us dollar. even some of the european countries that have complied with price caps have been skeptical about raising concerns that they can exacerbate the current energy crisis. let's discuss this further. now let's close last 2 i guess where they could decide it. director of the j political economy research group. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's lovely to see you. i'd like to ask it would china and india, which are traditional allies of russia actually agree to washington's demands,

to impose a price cap on russian oil supplies. i don't think so. i think that are both the historic reasons as you, like you said they have been historic allies with these, with russia, both countries and moreover, their pragmatic reasons. the fact of the matter is that the indians and the chinese are able to buy russian energy and send it to your cost. and so there is absolutely no reason for them to participate in the price capping. yes, under pen countries such as germany, the tech republic, they've also been skeptical about the price cap. haven't they? these things measure could actually exactly buy, exacerbate to europe's energy crisis. well, i think that it's certainly the president who to get these out. the fact you've made, which is, but he did in his rights to make it that if the european starts capping gas prices and he was to do to just apply gas. and i think that would, that is an important thing. they have to bear in mind, and secondly,

i think the more i think what we've seen up to now is that the more the, the red light to rush, the more the prices of energy have gone up. and have you seen demonstrations across, you know, in recent weeks, in prague, in various cities, in germany and many other places, there is an enormous popular sentiment against me. you don't really ironic that on the one hand the rest is leaving the democracy and human rights. and on the other hand, in reality, western leaders, you know, like i really bad, bad book actually boasting about how they don't get what ordinary people think they're going to stick to the russians don's. and i think all of this is preventing a peaceful solution and they both the negotiation that should take place that should take place to end the russian and the conflict where you great, know, i think this is, this is the situation and i, i agree,

i think that the tremendous misgivings on the russian side. because the fact the other thing you have to bear in mind is that germany has historically been extremely powerful. the army. and this struck your sanctions, which is in response to carry out actually putting german, putting the german economy under us, train it like mad. i mean, ok, the leaders of them with small economy in europe do this to their own economy. let's say for a moment that the oil price cap is it does succeed, it is imposed. how would it actually affect russia when i think that quite frankly, 1st of all, i would like to say that i'm not sure that the oil price get can be effectively imposed. i number of the shipping companies of the insurance company, the asked to actually implemented themselves not comfortable about this because that would require them to do

a lot of research and also it would make them liable for breaking sanctions. so i think they are very reluctant to cooperate, but if the oil price gap when it comes to, i think the russians have plenty other buyers off or that they would rather than wanted to thank you for joining us on the program today. it's been great to have your insight into the math that we've been speaking to where they could decide director of the geopolitical economy research group. thank you. a top official at the pentagon has confirmed that washington trained ukrainian forces that were involved in the thinking of to russian ships brought the ukrainians to train on it over memorial day. weekends and our country will be moral the weekend. and the next week to russian ships were sunk with those harpoons. realized involvement of the us in the ukraine conflict has been reported for some time. so to say that war games were conducted by kias on washington ahead of

ukraine's kaz saw him come to offensive back in june. and new york times reported that the cia was operating in care of them, that the u. s. and other western countries were supplying alms, fire and network of c'mon goes inside ukraine. us supplied weapons were also allegedly used and attacked on crimea for which ukraine has claimed responsibility to this stuff. the less cross live to ted, see an independent disarmament specialist on concerts, consultant. many, thanks for joining us on the program. it's good to see you now. head low could be the potential impact of the us engaging in a proxy war with russia in ukraine. how concerned should we be? i think this is extraordinarily concerning because what you've got an effect is the 2 countries in the entire world who have by far the majority of active nuclear weapons engaging in a proxy conflict. now, what could possibly go wrong with that scenario?

i can think of a thing or 2 that might, i think it's incredibly unhelpful, that the us administration is pursuing this kind of business. i think the fact that they've been admitted it is, is astonishing. quite frankly, i think if one is planning on conducting a proxy war one ought to at least try and be a little subtle about it. and that's not happening here either. so at this point, what is the possibility of that so called proxy will escalating into a full scale conflict between the us and russia? well, it doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to see where nato bordering on ukraine is. it does and being the european again, proxy for united states security interests could involve itself if there were some sort of incident that involved in over flight of polish territory or nato over flight of ukrainian territory. it's just too easy to conjure up

a crisis scenario in the middle of an armed conflict. where again, we've got the 2 global superpower nuclear superpowers, confronting each other, l. b. it, you know, at a slight remove meaning nato, when the u. s. are choosing to arm and train ukrainian forces. now, a ted washington has been reassuring americans that the us is not that war with russia for a long time. now, do you think the public is buying us? it becomes increasingly difficult to swallow, that kind of line. when one sees high, could have got officials, the people who are responsible for military hardware acquisition, claiming credit, you know, sort of cheering on the process by which the us is in fact, farming and training ukrainian soldiers. this is irrational. this isn't diplomatic behavior by any definition. and it's not even sort of stealthy or klan death time

covert military behavior because they're being too obvious about it. so why are they bragging about this? but then one could washington hope to gain from the conflict? well, in the case of most proxy words, the idea is to bleed your opponent from a distance. and if the u. s. is convinced that, for example, the russian federation is it the enemy than the idea of russian forces falling under the lash of high tech equipment that's been loaned and trained to ukrainian forces that, that might make someone feel good. the idea that you can have russian gloss on the ground without any possibility of us or german or polish, or any other nato countries for that matter, without their blood being spilled. that's the whole appeal of

a proxy conflict. had c independent disarmament specialist on conflicts consulting many thanks for your time. we really appreciate you are inside 1st fighting has abruptly between un peacekeepers and low calls in the democratic republic of congo with these one person reported killed in the recent violence. the me, the glasses for account of the protest on motorbike blocked a un peacekeeping convoy in the northeastern city of the 9. the border with uganda . the protests were triggered by complaints to the un mission has failed to protect civilians against militia violence which has been raging in the country for years july. so some of the worst of the unrest when 30 to protest is and for peace keepers were killed as buildings in several cities was set on fire. the un mission has been in the d. c for more than 2 decades, and there's already costs around $1000000000.00. the peacekeepers want to the

country back in 1999, but the dramatic increase in violence from groups has left 400 peacekeepers and 4000 civilians dead. and just the past 2 years local contributed elaine balloon phase many companies locals are becoming frustrated with emissions continued presence as people fear for their lives due to the ongoing violence the local population has been yeah, talking about this declaring about this, saying that why we have a bay wellpaid mission in the world, especially with one more than 11000000000 dollars each year. and there is no peace in the country. the un, they have all the logistics, they have everything. but they used to say, or can we have to wait for the day, the security council decision when people are dying and are especially when

people are been killed and the women are been raped. but we have to wait for the security day, j u n. k. a concert security decision, so it's better for the you went to, to be efficient and are to make sure they can satisfy or buy peacekeeping and they're promoting peace. and that's the only one that is a satisfaction that can, can make people happy, especially the congress population wish they are. mondays, normally eights are to protect the local population. but unfortunately, and that's not the case, was a haiti now where thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest against the current government. as if the caribbean island nation has been gripped by rising crime and made a sty, rockets.
