a dick i work with a correspondent convent ukrainian shelling while on the front lines with russian troops here military trying to beat back most of those forces in ukraine's coast on the encore with them to counter offensive as a ploy to drum up more weapons supplies from the west, according to russia, un envoy plus the a reflection on imperialism and colonialism with rage in africa. a video from the bbc claiming that london had warmed relations with formally

exploited and belgium rebels against a price half on russian down to import, slamming the commission with a cap on only russian gas is purely political. we will not agree to this a variable welcome. this is the international with the latest news update is good to have you with. we thought way that ukraine, where keeps forces have suffered a heavy loss, is trying to break rushes to fences in the north east in hong kong region, according to local moscow. back to forties. now some verify the address of 31, the area a port to carry the sounds of fi as possible bye. the

rushing reinforcements have been sent to the region as we can see in this stage, when the defense ministry of ukraine claims unspecified at territorial gains, while most se, kiev has exaggerated the performance of the military. well, let's take a closer look at what's happening on the grounds now, according to wash and back to 35000 news escalating on the outskirts of the city of bala clair that's in eastern ukraine. well, the city of coupons, case being defended by russian forces despite attempts, is not a cause. and mosca says that ukrainian talks in this southern nikolai of unco sort regions have also been repelled of correspond that 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 move up 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 the height of their, 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 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 was alaska and his western must is wanted. and this means that there is every chance that the ukrainian conflict will continue to be filled with new deliveries, of course, and weapons. here in church 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 written back again with with losses for ukrainian hoops. the fed to begin this now centered on how to cook, 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 channels on facebook and telegram that represent ukrainian units, ah, whining about huge casualties, eggs are expressing concern. the soldiers are being used as a human shield. so says catalog for the, for russian, artillery and guns. and that losses, amounting and huge. already though, we have c footage of russian convoys of russian special forces being loaded on to helicopters, taken to the front lines in order to resist the pinion. effects of that, again, the aim of which isn't entirely clear what they have achieved so close caused. tremendous pattern come on local to we have she kilometers you long hughes of locals, piers civilians with their families trying to escape into russian control. territory depot to russian control, delaware, it's russia itself to escape perhaps reprisals from ukrainian troops from

ukrainian nationalists for working with the north, resisting russian troops, russian forces. nevertheless, the situation is still unfolding. the russian high commanders is confident this, this a tab and caddick of region to retake a village is liberated, re taken by russia will be neutered. as was the attempt in kept sought. he had asked the hock of weekends, military administration, stacy cranes proclaimed offensive on russian controlled areas. in the province is aimed at joining up support a monkey at western bacchus, and to show its use of their weaponry. when it is a lot of the garage door, it was a ukrainian authorities have found it necessary to report about the use of western weaponry. that's in order to show that their forces are calm by ready and prepared to act decisively with. this is exemplified by the fact that instead of immediately taking positions when they enter populated areas,

they 1st take photos of themselves in front of buildings and landmark road size that they've painted blue. they do that to show they've entered the area and it's under ukraine's control. but in fact, the reality of the situation is much different. those soldiers are primarily in small sabotage, recognizance groups. they enter those settlements, make their reports, and then they leave. now says on yes, going ukrainian shapes are reportedly sell the hospital in the cities at central embankment, according to local authorities. eye witnesses reported on social networks that there was a fire in one of the hospitals, buildings firefighters were working at this scene. there was not yet been any information about the number of victims. elsewhere in the city, at least 2 civilians were killed and 5 other people wounded in ukrainian reselling as a public park in the city center was struck by exploding munitions, according to local authorities of more details, less close to a correspondent in dawn, yeske women cosser for mon,

good to see what is the one say far about the reported shelling of the hospital and the other attack in a city called the hospital in question. is there right across the river from where i'm standing? and indeed, i saw the blast myself from my window and truly a terrifying experience and that we were being shelled here the entire day. this friday, the terms off for the hospital. it's a very large complex sofa buildings and includes at children's hospital as well. firefighters have already put out the lays. however, the number of casualties here in done as continues to mount internet people's republic, or at least 7 people have been killed on friday and 27 were wounded. as you said, 2 of those killed were here in donetta. kaz, ukrainian,

or forces were shilling this center of the city a place where there are no military positions that whatsoever. and of course, this was a friday and a lot of people were out on the streets. and when the shelling took place in the center of the city i, it's the ukraine shelled at once and then 30 minutes shell. this same area again as emergency services and ambulances were trying to help the people that were wounded . all the shelling continues as we speak, but not in the center at the moment. shelling continue continues along the front line, which is right on the outskirts of the city of dun asked for my many thanks to those details as our correspondent and on. yes, raymond caseres aa queen elizabeth's eldest son is to be officially

proclaimed king charles the 3rd on saturday and kearney, 73 years old. charles will be the oldest royals, be declared king in british history. what person has begun a 10 day morning harriet, to mark the passing of queen elizabeth, who died on thursday at the age of 96 at bell mo castle in scotland. she was the nation's longest serving monarch with her reign, having spanned at 7 decades. supporters have been gathering outside london's buckingham palace and others have been laying flowers at british embassies worldwide. moscow and paris have also hosted ceremonies in her honor and vladimir putin has expressed his condolences, were right after the queen's death. the bbc presented a video showing the history of her relations with africa, claiming it was overall positive and long standing. for many africans expressed a much different view before the outlet blocked. comments on the post were tackling back at queen elizabeth this icons longstanding relationship with africa. repeat

after me, we take a look at queen elizabeth the seconds brutal colonization and subsequent destruction of african countries. please to not 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 the colonial muster. it is largely seen as symbolic and not really qualitatively changing anything one ground as much as freedom was attained by these african countries. britain kept

a strangle hold over that economic industries, particularly the extractive industries. it really retained a control over gold mining platinum mining, as well as diamonds. something the 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, said they won that diamond bag. it's estimated to be $400000000.00. and people here are saying that can be a 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 quest to qualitatively acknowledge the atrocities that happened and

a hurry 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 detractors. people feel that she missed an opportunity that she could have mentioned the atrocities that happened and her rain . and she could have qualitatively done something to change the outcomes for many african people and made mounting phase or they found in some african countries. vladimir purse is calling for more ukrainian grain shipments to go to the nations

that need it the most. instead of the most wealthy and prosperous european states, we consider just to increase grain supply to the world's poorest countries. russia has delivered 6600000 tons of grains to the global market in may through august. european partners talk about need to ensure grain 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, cording 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 rushes president was reported basically confounded, saying that this year alone, russia has already delivered 30000000 tons of grain abroad and is ready to increase 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 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 put, and 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 heading that this discrimination is simply unacceptable. and at the end, one report said that the producers of potash fertilizers are ready to transfer hundreds of thousands of tons of their products current be accumulated in the

european port, who transferred to developing countries free of charge. the belgium will not agree to a price cap on rush and gas, according to the countries energy minister, who say that the proposals are purely political. 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 $70000.00 or so protesters came out against european energy sanctions and rising cost. 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 sanctions 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 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 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 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 out, you realize you messed up. so you cut it the other way. it's 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. some germans aren't happy about the proposed e. you priced cap i the i discussed the control was the with german opposition. politician ralph name a, who's the, 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 the use of. so i think 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 others would call it opperation. but we call it one western 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 to day use germany for that. i wonder how far the public will have to go for governments to, to take notice of how they feel european produces, they've caused immediate action as the energy crisis, 2nd heavy 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 when, if the price is impose on old gas, impose the euro, but he will actually benefit. will it be the ordinary people that need it? well, i doubt dutch. i doubt the ordinary paper citizens will and evade benefit while industries will probably be saved. that of course, is already good. when are they? the german government has agreed to 65000000000. you are a relief package to help households out during this difficult time, but is money the solution here?

no festival, not because it will increase inflation if you print more money. i mean, anybody who started to columbia would understand that. so it's, well, it's a desperate move to pacify people, not to take it to the streets. and maybe some people will get a few zeros and the end of the year and say, well ok, but this is not a solution. and a 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 ever and we don't have energy. north korea has established a new law. think it has the right to conduct a pre emptive nuclear strike if it's national security is on the threats legislation of the class. the country is a nuclear power as well. no. to engage in disarmament talks. the move comes as washington claims that north korea is set to resume nuclear nuclear testing for the 1st time since 2017 historic summits were held with been us presence in donald

trump and other world leaders in 2018. but the talks ultimately failed to persuade young young to abandon its nuclear arms development program chain doors to a senior fellow at the beijing base panko and institute phase north korean nuclear weapons asian world would be unrealistic. not go up in the nucleus. this whether you, you, you basically claim it or not, it is a new day and you treated as any and let's be realistic, cravy, a long efforts and why do you, you can revise the weapon for a fact that, you know, or yeah, but that's, that's unrealistic. you know, given what happened to lee be what happened to, to do like leadership over there. i think you have to ship you fully aware of the danger of giving nuclear weapons completely. so that would be just impossible for them to abandon the nuclear weapons. and now that made it clear that you know what

we leave off as we are here and know more about the, the nuclear. this is a strong response to the finish de la steel door to make it feel between the united states and the south korea year. fallen off korea that that's a threat and that, that's very provoking well, north korean nuclear mythos tests remain a possible threat. it's still unclear which country provided the necessary equipment for plumb young to begin with plumbing weapons program. numerous reports that it was ukraine with its inherited soviet nuclear capabilities that provide the technology. that's one chin doors to thinks he's a senior fellow at a paging base. think tank the panel institution probably we don't know for sure and, but the, the possibility doesn't exist. because we know, with a fact of the former soviet union, ukraine important

a member of the former soviet union, the nuclear weapons and all the other technologies. but then we know there's the corruption issue that can't be controlled by a few only got over there. but now because of the ukraine complex all the way the media, we present the crim as a, as a clean as a defense space and always corruption. there's event that any like any or parties though, and people can say no here is a friday and busy, but what i want in offense is illegal is and the grant is often falling and the reporting. and that the and probably plan whether the lack of knowledge are completely understanding of what really happened between go korea and the ukrainian . or if you, when you send out the un secretary daniel antonio terrorism called for quote,
