is dropped, europe finds itself to be very vulnerable. rejection of brushing energy is not only slowing europe's economy, but also bringing on a recession. what's worse? europe's economic was 1st self inflicted. is europe attempting to suicide? with corresponding compound, ukrainian, selling, one of the front lines with washing troops payable, military tries to beat back. most of those forces in ukraine's can phone and car coverage with the terms it counts were offensive as a ploy to drum up more weapons supplies from the west. staff, according to russia's un envoy plus a reflection on imperialism and colonialism in the wake of the british queens death

pres, outrage in africa. a video from the baby c claiming london has had a warm relations with it. formally a loyce with rebels. they say price tap on russian dancing ports, slamming the commissions proposal a cap on only russian gas is purely political. we will not agree to this a very well malcolm says 16 pm here when the russian capital and you're watching aussie international with the latest world news updates good to happy with. i was thought that with ukraine wacky of sports is have stuff that heavy loss is trying to break rushes defenses. and then ne, in kalk of region. according to local moscow box, overseas, someone verified a fatigue from the area purports to carry the sounds of fierce battles that

the russian reinforcements have been sent to the region. as you can see in this stage, when the defense ministry, that's what the crane claims on specified, territorial gains, small must go say k of has exaggerated the performance of a military fighting has been escalating on the outskirts of the city of bala clay that's according to russian backs dorothy is they say the key city of kapinsky is also being defended by russian forces. despite attempts to sabotage. most goes say that you creating a tax in the nikolai of, and kill song regions have also been repels. correspondence in the area came on the fire from kia sportage while on the front lines with russian troops.

oh, well 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 care. 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 hill, 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. 0 thing is with

ukraine has retaken several villages. but of course, there can be no talk of any breakthrough, 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 was alaska and his western masters wanted. and this means that there is every chance that the ukrainian conflict will continue to be filled with new deliveries of western weapons. here in short, a saw the ukrainian 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 beaten back again with, with losses for ukrainian hoops. the fed to begin this, thou centered on how to cook, where about 2 dozen and that is according to the ukrainian side villages have been retaken after cost that we have no idea of yet,

although already ukrainian channels, various channels on facebook and telegram that represent ukrainian units, ah, whining about huge casualties, eggs, they're expressing concern. the soldiers are being used as a human shield says catalog for the, for russian, artillery and guns. and that losses, amounting and huge. already though, we have seen footage of russian convoys of russian special forces being loaded on to helicopters, taken to the front lines in order to resist the pinion offensive there again, the aim of which isn't entirely clear what they have achieved. so flies caused tremendous paddy come on. local to we have seed kilometers your log cues of locals, piers civilians with their families trying to escape into russian control. territory depot to russian control dell will into russia itself to escape perhaps

reprisals from ukrainian troops from ukrainian nationalists. for working with and not resisting russian troops, russian forces. nevertheless, the situation is still unfolding. the russian high commanders is confident this, this attempt in case of regent a retake of villages liberated retaken by russia will be neutered. as was the attempt in kept sought ahead on the cock of regions. military administration says he cranes proclaimed offensive on russian controls. areas in the province is entered, drumming up support among t f. western bacchus, and show his use of their weaponry. when it does a lot of the garage door, it was the ukranian authorities have found it necessary to report about the use of western weapon leon. that's in order to show that their forces are combat ready and prepared to act decisively. this is exemplified by the fact that instead of immediately taking up positions when they enter populated areas,

they 1st take photos of themselves in front of buildings and landmark road sides that they've painted blue. they do that to show they've entered the area and it's under ukraine's control. sure. but in fact, the reality of the situation is much different. those soldiers are primarily in small sabotage recognizance groups. so they enter those settlements, make their reports, and then they leave and make mounting phase of a famine. and some african countries vladimir putin is quoting from mo, ukrainian grain shipments to go to the nations that needed the most. instead of the most wealthy and prosperous european states, so we consider just to increase green 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 interest of poor countries. but out of 87 ships that left ukrainian ports with grain,

only 2 were sent to impoverished nations under the un food program called into 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 rushes president widen report and basically confounded saying that this year alone, russia has already delivered $30000000.00 tons of grain abroad. and is ready to increase to 15000000 tons and more as the harvest here in russia is very good. russia present watermark put and also reminded that's only 3 percent of the grain, but so far left the unblocked ukrainian 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 world, current deal was to help starving africa. so he concluded that this volume should be actually increased. potent also mentioned that take the 4 months of this year

alone, russia has supplied $7000000.00 tons of per wires as to other countries. this is another hot topic as 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 reporting said that the producers of potash per 2 wires are, are ready to transfer hundreds of thousands of tons of their products. current be accumulated in the european ports who transferred to developing countries free charge. the queen elizabeth, the eldest son, is to be officially proclaimed king charles the 3rd on saturday company 73 years old. charles will be the oldest royal to be declared king in british history, which has begun a 10 day morning period to mark the passing of queen elizabeth, who died on thursday at the age of 96 at my counseling. and she was

a nation's longest serving monarch with her reign. having spun 7 decades supporters have been gathering outside london's buckingham palace. and others have been laying flowers at the british embassy worldwide. moscow, paris of also hosted ceremonies in her honor and flatmate putin has expressed his condolences. well, right off to the queen's death, the b b. c. present the video showing the history of her relations with africa clinic. it was overall positive and long standing. many africans expressed a much different view before the outlets looked comments on the post, which heckling back at queen elizabeth de sac hens, longstanding relationship with africa. repeat after me, we take a look at queen elizabeth the seconds brutal colonization and subsequent destruction of african countries. piece to no insert us. it's called 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. the relationship between britain and africa is sketchy at best, and really questionable at its worst as much as during the reign of queen elizabeth the 2nd. more and more african states got independence from their colonial muster. it is largely seen as them bolling and not really qualitatively changing anything on the ground as much as freedom was attained by these african countries. britain kept a strangle hold over the economic industries, particularly the extractive industries. it really retained a control over gold mining platinum mining, as well as diamonds. something that clearly shows the influence that britain has.

and it remains as going on many african spaces if the color and diamond, which was given to the queen as a gift, back in 1910 people's here on the ground they, they won that diamond bag. it's estimated to be $400000000.00. and people here are saying that can be better place to be used to answer social ills from south africa . now the opposition parties here did not hold back with regards to how they felt about the legacy of queen elizabeth that she failed in her waste. qualitatively acknowledged, the atrocities that happened and a harry during her 70 year reign as queen. she never once acknowledged the atrocities that her family afflicted. our native people that britain 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. queen elizabeth the 2nd leaves a very, very dodgy legacy. here on the continent this as much people who feel for her passing then there is who are detectors. people feel that she missed an opportunity that she could have mentioned the atrocities that happened and her reign. and she could have qualitatively done something to change the outcomes for many african people. felt in that will not increase in price count on russian gas, as, according to the countries entity minister who say that the ear proposals are purely political. are they contribute to re, to master has the story. 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, laid on a plan for the block to make it through the winter now that it sanctioned so much of its own energy supply that its reeking far more havoc on the e. u, than on russia. van der 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 used face about as well as it's 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 imported 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 that initial clip. so basically, now that you 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 his store and demanding to get things for a lower price than ever. when else 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 chooses. what happened to this whole price cap idea being about denying putin revenues? now these politicians are basically admitting that it's just about saving themselves from the mass 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 out, you realize you messed up. so you cut it the other way. it still crooked. it's even worse, it's getting shorter and sure you cut 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 wagner, lion seems to be finding it hard to put down. those scissors from germans aren't happy about the proposed e. you price cap. i that i discuss be controlled with the, with german opposition. politician, wealth ne, myna, ne, my a, who said the u. s. is trying to use berlin against its own european allies. 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 as ready, and he just needed to press the button so he would have enough gas and we wouldn't

have to negotiate any price caps to secure supply at a reasonable cost like they 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 ukraine, which we call of 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 north korea has established a new law saying it has the right to conduct a preemptive nuclear strike. if it's national security is the threat. but legislation also declares the country is a nuclear power and will not engage in disarmament talks. the move comes in washington claims. a new career is set to resume nuclear testing for the 1st time

since 2017 historic stomachs were held within us. president donald trump and other world leaders in 2018, but it talks ultimately failed to persuade young young to abound that it's nuclear development program. this was live here, tend to shoot a senior fellow at the panel institution abating. they thing, tongue many thanks for joining us on the program. it's good to see you as a north korea have enshrined in status as a nuclear state in law. why do you think it's made such a move and why now? well, i think and you know, why now this is a strong response to just finished a lot, a scale don't to manipulate feel between united states and the south korea year. fallen all korea that presents a threat and that, that's very provoking. so not everybody's expect. you response from korea,

you manageable. what talking about but obviously is the statement that is the goal to be able. so that's kind of response that you need from the tiny and then the responses to the south, around the new government to may, the new government funded. he gave them up with an hoss that was more. so here's the response. and also i think the response to us that i didn't all of the, from previous governments and that, but all the while you can be active and all coming out. i've been watching the new government, washington, the new government. so for a long time in this say that there's a concluded and then we'll take that relationship of what do you think the the

north korean leader went as far as to make the state, is it reversible and thought all the nuclear station talks? i think actually the probably been because now we have much more or less be realistic and you know you've been previously long afterwards. that's why the nuclear wise, the weapons perspective, korea, well that's, that's realistic. you know, given what happened to libya, what happened to, to walk in leadership over there. i think you have to ship, you fully aware of the danger of giving up nuclear weapons completely. so that would be just impossible for them to abandon the nuclear weapons. and now that made it clear that the, you know what we leave off as we are here and then know more about the nuclear or this. so we want to the us,

the us talking about basically a complete d in nuclear reservation in north korea. as you know, the boy in part of washington, starting from now, i revise your pockets would be a really think north korea is a nuclear, whether you use it or not, it is and you're treated as it is. and then based on that reality that talk about the probably increased cost to be with you and reduce the differences. and if there's any way to find a peaceful coexistence between the 2, korea and all you know, it wasn't that long ago in 2018 when there was a series of summits with then us president donald trump, another world he does about the nuclear. i a said that, so what are the prospects of similar talks on north korea's nuclear program now?

well, i think it's really about the change of all of the government. so, you know, this is a problem with us and also with south korea and the so called west is always the change of regime. even rich that deal. all you know, nearly can be the deal with a particular column and with a change of the regime. the next comment, it would have to know that step to whatever field there, because here is that new governments, how to deal with that problem crash. i remember new, new iranian, you know, up in, and you could remember that i've done and under the run and other bigger our unit. and then when, when they came to power, basically. so they're the problem. if you look at the, the track record of the negotiation between north korea and the united states, open sufficient big prosecution that they really about the change of the us

government. nope, on the north side there is a can go on, you know, what the math and what the, ready to compromise, washington the cost of change policy when they, when the document that it's probably you know, what we are thinking. it's possible to do that. do that deal, but then there's a government can do that. so this is a big headache. i think the legal, jason and also the binding b o. b, b. i can be agree strongly with the approach and the style that you meet the real leadership directly and viewed the coffee and each other. so you can decrease. it has a secret, reduce hostility for you based on data. probably you can talk about concrete and measured by both by viewed a p, a lasting piece. i sort of think i talked approach ought to be workable. a

black dog bought him copies ever. so it's made it to basically a window where at the end of the day it has been reported that the technology necessary for the development of nuclear missiles came from ukraine. what's your take on that? well, this point or, you know, the grant has been wary, clear we are nuclear, but we will bar, we'll pad, they're sharing up with other countries. so it shows like, you know, there is a nuclear page all that they share with the state. there's a danger of the nuclear proliferation that is actually banned by the end of the nuclear proliferation increases. nuclear is actually off all the, all that kind of all the way to prevent possible nuclear power

from a different that would be speaking to tin dorsey senior fellow at the pango institution in beijing. many thanks for your time. appreciate it. my pleasure. relief on other events. from around the globe, thousands of cubans have much to in central havana asking the countries patron saint for help. and the was, it can make crisis in decades known as catchy 30, saying to seeing, find locals as a symbol of mercy and unity. the traditional possession was deemed off a 2 year break due to the coven pandemic. meanwhile, in india and almost 9 meter high q of a freedom fighter who resisted the british empire has been unveiled and that no capital prime minister remote, no greater than monument to indian independence does the house tundra both controversial is controversial. seeking an alliance with germany and japan during world war 2 tundra, both broke with mahatma gandhi,
