[000:00:00;00] a with a correspondent comes on the ukranian shelley, one on the front line, rushing through key at the military, trying to be back. a new claim called i'm calling with attempted counter offensive, as opposed to develop more weapon supplies from the west south, according to russia's un envoy, with a reflection on imperialism and colonialism in the wake of the british, queen's death. as outweighed in africa, video from the b, b. c, claiming london has

a warm relations with formally exploited calling with belgium rebels against a price cap on russian gas in port slamming the youth commission's proposal. with is purely political. we will not agree to this a very welcome, it's 5 pm here in the russian campus when you're watching all the international with the latest news update is good to happy with it. this out that we start with ukraine. why cabs forces have suffered heavy losses trying to break russia defensive in the north, east, and talk of region according to local moscow, back or forces with some unverified homage of footage from the area of ports to carry. the sounds of fierce battle was that

the russian reinforcements have been sent to the region. as we can see in this message from the defense ministry of ukraine, claims and specified territorial gaze on moscow. say that kia has exaggerated the performance of this military fighting has been escalating on the outskirts of the city of bala clay, according to russia back to dorothy. they say the case city of kapinsky is also being defended by russian forces, despite attempts at sabotage. moscow say that ukrainian attacks on the nikolai of, and castle regions have also been, were pounds or correspondent in the area came on the fire, from kids forces well in the front lines with russian troops. oh, oh. oh.

oh. oh, oh, the 1st as you saw was from here san region, which is where we are now. this is where the ukranian counter offensive, but god, the aim of it isn't entirely clear. we know that here, over the past week, ukraine suffered huge casualties in both material that is tags, vehicles, armored personnel carriers, but also troops, potentially thousands of ukrainian soldiers who perished here over the past week on the care of san front and all for a just half a dozen villages that they managed to retake. there isn't any understanding of what the objective was now. that offensive you centered on how to get there again. thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands, perhaps of ukrainian troops are being driven across fields across the open into

towns and villages that again hold very little strategic value. japanese with ukraine has retaken several villages, but of course there can be no talk of any breaks for, and military experts are well aware of this. but the west media have already trumpeted. the ukraine has launched a counter offensive which needs to be supposed by new western weapons. thus the necessary media background was created for the median in ramstein, which is exactly what zaleski and his west must is wanted. and this means that there is every chance that the ukrainian conflict will continue to be fueled with new deliveries of western weapons. here, if you saw the ukranian counter offensive has been all but dulled. there are barely any efforts being made now to, to move forward. there were 2 small attempt yesterday, both of them breathe and back again with with losses for ukrainian hoops. the. 3 sets of, again this thou centered on havoc of where about 2 dozen and that is according to the ukrainian side, religious have been re taken after cost that we have no idea of yet,

although already ukrainian channels, various titles of facebook and telegram that represent ukrainian units ah, whining about huge casualties, egg, spare expression, concerned the soldiers are being used as human shields as, as cabinet fodder for russian, artillery and guns. and that losses, amounting and huge. already though, we have seen footage of rush and convoys of russian special forces being loaded on to helicopters, taken to the front lines in order to resist the cranial efforts of air. again, the aim of which isn't entirely clear what they have achieved so far as caused. tremendous paddy come on. local to we have, she'd kilometers. you're long queues of local spears civilians with their families trying to escape into russian control. territory depot to russian control,

derek will into russia itself to escape or perhaps reprisals from ukrainian troops from ukrainian nationalists for working with and for not resisting russian troops. russian forces. nevertheless, the situation is still unfolding. the russian high commanders is confident this, this attempt in caddick of region to retake a village is liberated, retaken by russia, will be neutered, as was the attempt in kept sub queen elizabeth's eldest son is to be officially proclaimed king charles the 3rd on saturday. kearney, 73 years old chance will be the oldest swell to be declared king in british history versus african attend a morning period to mark the passing of queen elizabeth, who died on thursday at 896 and found mo parcel in scotland was the nation's longest serving monarch with her reign, having spawns 7 decades supporters had been gathering outside london's buckingham

palace. and others had been laying flowers at british embassies worldwide. moscow and paris have also hosted ceremonies in her honor. i am slightly, putin, it has expressed his condolences while right off to the queen's death, the bbc presented a video showing the history of her relations with africa, claiming it was over all positive and long standing. but many africans expressed a much different view before the outlets. blocked comments on the post. we take a look back at queen elizabeth the 2nd long standing relationship with africa. repeat off to me, we take a look at queen elizabeth, the 2nd brutal colonization and subsequent destruction of african countries. please don't insult us. it's called a colonialism. what is a longstanding relationship? one that is abusive because england abused africa big time and it's time for united kingdom to pay reparations. we never had a relationship with elizabeth. it was imperialism and colonialism. meaning it was

forced into us colonial relationship. as guess who are corresponding corrales' hotline? now corroborate, thanks for joining us. i understand the some africans have been outraged by their bbc's tweet. can you give us some more information on this? oh yes, many africans i really feel that the british are trying to sanitize the image of the monarchy ahead of the funeral of her majesty. queen elizabeth the 2nd. there's a feeling here on the ground that this relationship is not presented fairly, that it was not a relationship of equals that the united kingdom essentially wanted to play big brother to africa. that they saw themselves as the people who could help the african countries develop without really being in africa. so there is a, there's a sense that as much as queen elizabeth came to south africa and had a couple of african safaris. she didn't really help the development agenda, and she turned

a blind eye to was the atrocities that were committed at the height of colonialism . let it not be forgotten that many, many people lost their lives. at the height of queen elizabeth colonial rule here on the continent, women were raped. people were taken as slaves. and many people still feel that the monarchy stands on the shoulders of slavery, colonialism, and mistreatment of african people, particularly the black in color during her 70 your reign as queen. she never once acknowledged the atrocities that her family inflicted on native people. the prison invaded across the world. the british royal family stands on the shoulders of millions of slaves who are shipped away from the continent to serve the interests of racist, white capital accumulation at the center of which lies the british royal family. ah, this also a sense that, that depiction,

that the robbery that's happened on the continent happened while queen elizabeth was in her reign. nothing displays more of the theft of, of african quality, more than the colleen and diamond. now that the diamond that was found barely 60 kilometers from way i stand now, that diamond is part of the crown that will be won by king charles who ascends to the throne, following the death of his mother. people here on the ground said they won that diamond beg mind you, me, that is the largest diamond quality dam that's ever been found. any way in the world, it's estimated to be worth some $400000000.00. and the feeling here is that that money could be placed to better use to answer south africa's social ills. many thanks thursday sounds anti corresponding to rather less hotline. amid mounting face of a famine, in some african countries, vladimir putin,

his calling for more ukrainian grain shipments to go to the nations that needed been most instead of the more wealthy and prosperous european states. soon we consider a just to increase grain supplies to the world's poorest countries. russia has delivered 6600000 tons of grain to the global market in may. through august european partners. talk about need to ensure grants supplies from ukraine, primarily in the interests of poor countries. but out of $87.00 ships that left ukrainian ports with grain, only 2 were sent to impoverished nations under the un food program. let's get some more. these house ma correspondent, maria financial now maria, thank you for joining us. that what other comments has the russian president made about the situation? yes. hi, nico, according to the u. s. department of agriculture for this season of 2020 to 23. russia is estimated to be the world's largest suite producer. and early on friday, russia's president was reporting basically confirmed. and saying that this year

alone, russia has already delivered 30000000 tons of grain abroad. and is ready to increase it to 15000000 tons and more as the harvest here in russia is very good. russia, president watermark would also reminded that's only 3 percent of the grain, but so far left the unblock to coordinate ports was going to the poorest countries . while most of it was sent to the u, which is unfair of widen reporting believes, as the whole idea behind the un and turkey brokered deal was to help starving africa. so he concluded that this volume should be actually increased, put. and also mentioned that take the 4 months of the year alone in russia has supplied $7000000.00 tons of per to ours. there's 2 other countries. this is another hot topic, as you understand, because this is what the harvest and other countries strongly depends on. and he also mentioned that

a supply through the european ports is still prohibited having that this discrimination is simply unacceptable. and at the end, one report and said that the producers of potash fertilizers, are ready to transfer hundreds of thousands of tons of their products, currency accumulated in the european fords, who transferred to developing countries free of charge. back to new cape. maria, thank you so much for those details. i thought he's that mcgrath a notional belt him will not agree to a price cap on russian gas dance. according to the countries energy minister, he said that the your proposals are purely political ortiz contributor rachel masters principal. our intention 1st and foremost is to bring prices down a cap on only russian gas is purely political. i don't see the added value in that . we will not agree to this european union. energy ministers are meeting today in

prague where 70000 or so protesters came out against european energy sanctions and rising costs. just a few days ago. all focus is on the blocks energy price and supply problem. earlier this week, european commission, president ursula vander line later, a plan for the block to make it through the winter, now that it sanctioned so much of its own energy supply, that it's reeking far more havoc on the e. u. than on russia. vander, line called for a price cap on russian pipeline gas, to quote, cut rushes revenues. thinking that it would prevent russia from pursuing its objectives in the ukraine conflict, which should blow up in the use face about as well as its other virtue, signaling and manipulation attempts have if it ever decides to implement that price cap. vondell line also said that a price cap on all important gas from russia, including non pipeline liquefied natural gas is currently being studied,

but not on the table. belgium is one of at least 10 you countries that wants to take that idea even further with a price cap on l n g imported from all suppliers. and not just singling out russia politically, as you mentioned in the initial clip. so basically, now that the u has made a total mess of its energy market, some block officials believe that they should be demand discounts. it's a bit like walking into a store and demanding to get things for a lower price than everyone else who comes into the store, just because you mismanaged your own finances. it's hard to imagine the u. s. a major supplier of l. n. g agreeing to provide it to the you at whatever price the e chooses. what happened to this whole price cap idea being about denying putin revenues? now the politicians are basically emitting that it's just about saving themselves from the mess that they've made of their formerly free market by considering it for

all countries. now the eas sanctions policy has been a bit like when you try to cut your own hair, you know, you give it a 1st shot, it comes a little bit crooked. you realize messed up. you cut it the other way. it still crooked. it's even worse. it's getting shorter and sure you got more and more some point maybe you realize that what you really should have done is just stop and think before doing any more damage. let's just say that bonder line seems to be finding it hard to put down those servers to say we can discuss this live in the studio with ralph ne mine i was chairman of the german opposition group for german store, quincy, and constitution. so many thanks for coming into the studio today. it's so nice to have company. nice. so let's start off with base price caps or the points ta proposal on the russian pipeline. it's been so farming, but with a mixed reaction. hasn't said germany seems so far, reluctant to support the price cap for rushing gas was the reason for that? well,

i think germany is not suffering enough to stand up against the americans who dictate as festival not to not stream to pipeline, which mr. miller just confirm to me is ready and he just needed to press the button, so we would have enough gas and we wouldn't have to negotiate any price caps to secure supply at a reasonable cost like we used to have. so i think in germany is being used as a weapon against the european union. let's put it that way. if we, if we want to look at it from, from both sides now the war in the ukraine, which we call a war, what bothers would call opperation, but we call it a warn vest on europe and we, we see it more than now we have a war that the americans fight in ukraine, not so much against the russians, probably, but rather against the european economies and as a tool, they use germany for that odms to respond. and so did you find that quite surprising that is imposing this insist on imposing

a price cap on all gas prices in europe to reduce energy bills? yeah, i think the belgy government is very clever and saying that of course they, they can do that, but only when they lift sanctions and the end somebody has to deliver the gas. i mean the price cup is only good as long as you have gas. when, if the price cap is impose on old gas imposed euro, but who will actually benefit? will it be the ordinary people that need it the most? well, i don't dutch, i don't, don't, the ordinary paper citizens will. and anyway, benefit here. well, industries will probably be saved, that, of course, is already good. if the plan does fail to help reduce the energy bills and the energy crisis does work in this winter, how do you think people will react? well, i'm not surprised to see uprisings already in germany, but i'm surprised that the french so if i didn't do much about that, usually the french are more active in the streets and burning colors or tires. and

that to be drama on more reluctant to, to take it to the street that i think it is happening now. and probably because germany is suffering the most from it's, i'm in the self made the crisis, but we are going to suffer most. and that will bring down probably to shots government in the next weeks. governments take notice to the public action so far. so it takes the, i wonder how far the public will have to go more governments to, to take notice of how they feel european produces, they've called for immediate action as the energy tries to 2nd have the industry. what are the possible consequences if an adequate solution is not found? well, i think we can only talk to the russian government. i mean, we have to come together, talk about it, and find a solution. and i think there is nothing that is not as powerful as an idea which time has come and that's a quote from victor. you go. so now we have to talk to the russian government and

say, listen, we want to have negotiations. and, well, of course we have to lift the sanctions india, and we all know that, how likely do you think negotiations are in the foreseeable future? well, i started here, but i'm not to government officials. so i'm representing an exxon government if you want, but we try to keep the doors open and at least the channels for communication with others have close them already and saying with your country germany, winner, the german government has agreed to a 65000000000 you are a relief package to help households out during this difficult time, but is money the saloon here? no festival, not because it will increase inflation. if you print more money. i mean, anybody who started economists would understand and so it's, it's a desperate move to pacified paper. not to take it to the streets and maybe some people will get a few 1000 years and the end of the year and say well ok, but this is not a solution and long term of course,

one has to think about the economy as a whole and then you have to have a balance and the balance is simply not they have and we don't have energy. now you have said that germany is not a sovereign country. could you just explain what you mean by that? and what is the answer today? well, it's going back into the history of 2nd world war. at the end of it, 1945, we got to cease fire agreement. the so called puts them treaty or argue the agreement directory. and that was from us to us that me in the end, when germany would be unified, which happens in october 1990. he would draw up the constitution and have to self determination rights like like any other nation as well and become fully sovereign and not occupied. what we see in reality is that we are still occupied by the americans that can even tell mr. charles, when he's in the vice, as we don't not stream to or we had to scandals about the wiretapping

of chancellor marco's phone, handy phone, whatever smartphone and all of these things are still happening. so it's not that we are really a sovereign nation, and one feels that also all the drone was what, which the americans are still undertaking of kind of some iraq syrians on their do this from ramstein abbeys, which is invest germany and we have no control over that as, as a german government, so i asked the americans to live close down ramstein abby's because we don't want to have war go out of, from many from german saw it. and that's what we promised, at least after lunch and $45.00. so we have a bit of luck yet to do draw up the constitution, half a peace treaty, but the for allies of the 2nd world war and open a new chapter. and i'm starting this right now and writing to the russian government to say help us. we want to have peace. oh, you know, russia's foreign minister, like a love of, he's that,

that berlin last the last signs of independent since that shows became chancellor. is that something that you would agree with and what exactly has changed on the show? it has not really changed much because he in style tries to copy mrs. marco, by being like an embryo, just not governing. just looking at what is happening and then be quite in flaky. but what he did do was he said, we have a site and vendor that means that change of time and he wants to make us believe that a new time is coming. a new era is coming, but he doesn't fill it with any philosophy. he's not giving us any ideas what it should be. he's just saying everything would change now. so when you ask him what executive will change, he cannot tell you. so his is a very weak chancellor. probably the weakest in the history of our country. as you mentioned earlier, you've been calling for the opening of no stream to pipeline. of course,

that would be the answer to a lot of problems across europe. right now, do you think it feasible that this is going to happen in the short term? as europe continues to support these anti russian functions. well, this is exactly what i discussed with mr lover off as well as mr. miller and also mr. pest cough said to me that they are ready to help us immediately. of course we have to lift the sanctions and i said, well let's, let's start but recognizing each other here, i'm here for negotiating it and i come back with an agreement. we wrote to mr. miller as well officially requesting an offer. when i come back to germany, because i'll find my hands, i will go to mister schultz and mister ha, back and say here, this is the offer. you have not 48 hours to sign it. if you don't sign it, i signed it. but those who deliver the gas are then in government. so that was the question of power that we have now. i bring the energy to my country under the sitting government is taking it, or i formed

a government jimmy's farm. and as he was that the uncertain as of the rush and gas applies, will test european unity. what are your thoughts on european unity as we enter the winter months? he's called at the elephant in the room. so what extent if you are prepared for this? well, just mentioned we had situations before like we had with the refugee crisis. 2015. the solidarity among europeans was put to a test or earlier and 20082009 the financial crisis. but also what everyone was looking then at berlin and frankfort to put the rescue packages together, which were designed to go to greece. but never arriving in athens, they were just unpack them in frankfurt, and the banks who celebrated big profits from that. so i think this time it's not good enough anymore to put money on the table to pacify someone. we will see the european union

a bit like to stop the union be in it's raining days falling apart. and i hope that we can avoid that actually. because i don't want to see more wars in europe coming up now because these tensions, as we have seen in ukraine, they can immediately ignite. and we are now 70 years past the last war. and in my country, at least, we don't want to risk that again. i mean, i would do whatever it takes to keep up together. but we have to be several nations independent nations who talk to each other the idea to have a european union like the united states of europe. that is, a dream may be, but it's not realistic because still we have national parliaments. also, people who think in their own cultures and nations, but it's not wrong. i love my country. i love france for being french. i don't want the french to be like the germans or the british. i mean, unfortunately they left it. but what can we say about that? you know, i always enjoy going there and seeing that they live different than i do. i

building to seems committed to the sanctions on the mean. it's saying that it wants to end overarching gas imports by the end of 2024, but the same time is unwilling to support an e. u. gas embargo. why is it taking this similarly? concentration contradictory role because they don't know what they do. i mean, they are not even some way, i mean, mister hubbard was flying around to, but as an economics minister for energy and economics, a trying to find supplies from katara and other countries and he came back empty handed, so to speak. so there is no, no way that he can fill it and that the sanctions are dictated by washington. and that is why date and berlin cannot jump over the own shadow and say ok, let's talk again to russia. that's what i do now. so i hope that i can influence our governments course by that by threatening to overthrow them. actually,

let's move on now to the crux of all these issues, the conflicts in ukraine. now on tuesday, the german defense minister said that sending more arms to key wisc, germany's own security. you think they can really stop the supply of weapons which are willing to, well, i must say here. in this case, mister schultz was quite reluctant to send any, i mean he was pushing to the break or the time everyone else, especially to greens, his clinician partner in berlin pushed him to send more arms and he was very reluctant to do. i think we are not at risk in our own security to, to send arms to someone, but i always said we become a partner in a war by siding in a conflict. we shouldn't send arms to anyone. and i mean, it's a different story that we send it now to, to saudi arabia. we are not directly in the war situation with them, but they also use german arms in yemen and, and other places. so we have to always rethink what is our task after $940.00 the

promise to the bird. it will never ever happen again. now today i had to bow my head again in front of the kremlin wall to commemorate the victims of 939 to 945 in the evening down because i said for me it was so important that this never ever happens again. we always have to find a solution by negotiating by sitting down, talking to each other and at the end of the solution. that is for sure. absolutely . i think that's a perfect note to end our conversation on. thank you so much for come again. i see you today, we really appreciate our time. we've been speaking to ralph, know my terminal to terminal position group for jim and sovereignty and constitution. thank you. thank you. thank you for joining us here in our see international will be back at the top of the i with all the very latest news updates the see that

ah ah, watching it was a with
