so this is the core of liberal hedge money for this thing. the only way liberalism can survive is if we are in power. mm ah, without hope outlines right now. and are you international as he has forces fire? heather artillery across the border into russia's belgrade region. hundreds of ukrainian refugees flee to those areas from cities recently taken by key. now some of the asylum seekers side fears of upcoming repressions by key of the authorities in their homeland the u. back tracks on imposing price limits on russian energy supplies, according to a leak document, at the block struggles with shortages and with the sanctions. it's already imposed against moscow at a deadly escalation erupting between armenia and as i by john,

it's so with the disputed and i go to no bach region. i mean, he has 49 people were killed while out there to buy shiny denies. any claims the officials, they're saying there's no type of invasion. ah yeah. as far as getting into a busy day here at moscow, we appreciate you joining us. it's our t international with your top world news. first of the letters in the conflict in ukraine as authorities and rushers belgrade region claim ukrainian forces have been firing artillery across the border. hitting the village. overshoot avenue of attack left one person dead and for others injured old will ukrainian citizens who had recently fled. here to russia. now this comes as hundreds of ukrainian refugees flee here into russia as was actually recommended by the russian backed head of that region where the russian army and volunteers have been helping. with the

evacuation with belgrade authorities saying the refugees are being provided with all the necessary care and they will being given temporary housing. now, this whole influx of refugees was triggered recently when some military forces took control of a number of towns in the holocaust region. will bring up a moving map for you here on the program. give you a better idea of what's going on. ultimately, russia withdrew its troops from ukraine's northeast region, claiming it was deploying them south to that of the donors republic right here to bolster defenses. this is the former contact line. meantime, key f has retaken p cities of hot coffee by the clear and easy as we understand claims of threats being made against any one who cooperated with russia. equivalent was and they see it on collaborators and all russian specialists who come to ukraine. all russian officials, teachers, kindergarten workers, should know that they are criminals, and that there will be no sympathy towards them. otherwise,

either depth or prison awaits them about elaborate or must pay the maximum price either legally or physically in terms of combat. so fears about ukrainian action and the reclaimed territories have been growing off the countries deputy prime minister said some russian teachers they had already been arrested. we understand that could face up to 12 years in prison. and just a short time ago, i did speak with war correspondent thomas roper. he says the key is violating human rights. he also says, professional partners in the west, a turning a blind eye to it. everybody who was working with, with the russians in these territories, has to be afraid of, of consequences not from, from kias teachers or whatever. somebody was working in a city administration just for i don't know, providing that this city with with electricity. and they are all in the eyes of key of collaborators. and if we think this till the end, this means they would say, well, i don't know, maybe half of the population would be,

would be in prison. after that, i saw this crazy loss. and for us already 4 weeks, if they talk about death, then we are talking about just uncontrolled shooting in the street of these cities . what i even her here from, from, with some victims are on the other hand, um, i don't know any example which says it's comparable with human rights. that you get prism for receiving another citizenship. so i don't see that there's any civilized explanation for this kind of behavior. this can kind of announcements. we have so many things which are, are happy i happening in ukraine in the western presses, just, just not mentioning it at all. it's a tragedy and, and, but, but that when we see any ration from western countries, i don't have any clue. and any, any hint that this might happen, we have seen this in the last 8 years. the west is very good at closing his eyes. meanwhile, several videos showing a western mercenaries report li,

helping ukranian troops take back control of local settlements. have emerged on line, have a look at this. i boys were the doorway. yeah. that's a lot of fighting gear with me. right. so i washington says our recent successes by ukrainian troops on the front line have been the result of western support and guidance. a key of says, the backing of his partners have been pivotal to advance. clearly we've seen significant progress by the by the ukrainians, particularly in the, in the northeast. and that is a product as i said, of the support we provided. but 1st and foremost, it's a product of the extraordinary courage and resilience of the ukrainian armed forces and the ukrainian people without support. we will not be able to return our lamps

and i'm really nice at myself. and i'm quite candid about this. meanwhile, us that democratic senator mark warner says that american intelligence is working closely with providing all sorts of logistic information satellite as well. and we spoke with military analyst, or scott ritter, who believes, regrettably, the west is involved in a type of proxy war with russia. and a staging ground is ukraine. the army that's fighting russia right now when you train is no longer a ukrainian army. it's a nato army. it just happens to be manned by ukrainian troops. are supported by nato intelligence by natal communications, by nato command staffs, by natal logistics, and buy orange mercenaries. there's a large number of them, apparently participating in this current offensive. they played a role and penetrating the russian defense is carrying outraged behind the russian lines. and you know, doing some of the. ready reconnaissance work,

et cetera. so there are an active participant in this conflict with the u. s. is willing to fight russia to the last ukraine. he doesn't care about ukraine. what he cares about is doing as much damage to russia as possible, and they're using the ukrainian conflict to achieve that goal and objective. the european union can already be cold, a loser in the ukraine conflict, as it acts against its own economic interests. now that is, according to the hungarian national assembly speak, i last low cova who emphasize that brussels is not serving it's people today, the european union, which can not politically prevent the outbreak of war in ukraine, restore peace through diplomacy. and under external pressure acts against its most fundamental economic interests is already considered a loser. regardless of the side, non european interest groups and private capital condemned. the european union is a whole and each member state individually to military dependence,

political subordination, economic, an energy and viability, financial debt, robbery and social division, la hunger, and prime minister victor, audubon, said that the sanctions imposed on russia would not successful. the e you itself facing an colossal inflation serge and wide spread energy shortages in his opinion, the block should change his policy to will sanctions. otherwise, both industries and households across the continent will suffer from the energy crisis. and the standard of living will drop, or to been emphasized at the e will weaken off to the russian military operation, while countries like china and russia, as well as large american corporations will benefit. let's have a good chat about this now live now to look at georgia zamarelli, who's joining us here, wenatchee international senior research fellow with a global policy institute of london. very good afternoon to you. so what, what's, what's your reaction to the words of hungary? speaker and how do you estimate that political independence? i should say of the you what he is right as the

orbit is been right. which is that the european union has allowed itself to be manipulated by external actors. chiefly the united states, into a confrontation with russia, from which you derive no benefit to the country. it stopped greatly because that was the right. which is that the sanctions that was supposed to russia, it was obvious that they will go to europe. most of all the united states also. but there are much lesser extent. and of course, anyone with any common sense would have known that you don't sanction a country. that is one of the biggest energy producers in the world. and he's one of the biggest grain producers in the world. and he's also one of the biggest red medical uses in the world. it has everything the world needs. so how the european

union will the hope that he would get the better of this confrontation? it's been almost amazing when you say it's almost amazing. it almost sounds to us, and i, i mean, you sanction russia by cutting off your own energy. you're throwing the economy down the drink. i mean, what kind of winter is it going to be george? i mean, do you think? because i've seen all over the, the wires, they're expecting enormous protests across across europe. this one to the people. do you think the people are going to stand for what the politicians are doing? i don't think so, because i don't think the suffering that there is that the rulers of europe are imposing on the subject, which is in any way justifiable. and i haven't really made much of a case justifying it so far. the weather is warm and no one is suffering too badly, but it's clear that is that the property is coming and the journey that you can

make. our house in europe is going to the closing down factory. there were ready closing down plans. and once that happened, when the economics of europe start floating down, then everything else shall be done and you have energy prices that no one can afford. and what makes this, as you said, after 9 is no shortage of energy in the world that there's no shortage of grain in the world. so this is an artificial crisis brought about by very, very stupid political decision. as a lateral code, there is the speaker that we're talking about. he was referencing in hungary is tragic history. that hungary went from one prices to another because it wasn't sovereign. you know, all the countries were making decisions hungry and they lead to terrible the mindful, hungry. and so he was predicting, this is what's happening to europe. it's actually following the trajectory of hunger is tragic history in the 20th century. you wouldn't,

you wouldn't be the 1st to draw that comparison, george and it's a fascinating and worrisome comparison as well. i guess one of the questions is, you know, do you think you repeat leaders? do you think the european politicians decided they made this decision themselves to cut off russian energy? because i looked the north stream to pipeline is ready to go. the european politicians essentially just took a cork and stuck it in the end of it said, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to have any russian. gotcha. even if people starve or freeze fits when the russian ships carrying grain around the world, u. s. a western sanctions were revoke their permits, revoke the licensees to get into certain ports. oh rushes blocking all this food. no, it's not your blocking your blocking rushing ships. who made this decision in europe to cut off russian energy? was it europe or was it somebody else is dick tat? i think it was somebody else's tape in the united states, which does very well out of this is essentially eliminated europe as any kind of economic rival to the united states around been just

a few years ago. president trump was hitting europe with terrorism because he didn't like the economic competition from europe. so that's, that's already gone in. the americans are worried about, say you're in competition anymore. what's really happened is the europe as well. any sense of the independent? i mean, the, the days of the goal, johnson really brown, so much schmidt, long gone, long gone when, you know you've been lead is actually tried to call out an independent role for europe. now, europe just simply goes along with the united states in, for, in a way that obviously harming europe. and we can see this in all of the election results were expecting now a big victory for the populace. right in italy, which is certainly driven by ward the sanctions policy who saw what happened to macaroni and france when he lost his bottom entry majority. we can see counselors

show he's a strong and narrowly popular. we saw the out there as far as johnson in the u. k. list trust is going to be a historic landslide blow out of the tory, if the public isn't buying into this nonsense that of them. they're lying. i'm alexis in the no one elected position, but they, the policies that she is imposing on europe is extremely unpopular. i'm hoping that perhaps entirely counter productive georgia thought the georgia, i'm earlier from the senior research. well, senior fellow, i should say, the global policy institute of london, if you'll correct, if you're correct, but europe has no sovereignty left. and if you'll correct that, perhaps that following the dictator of washington to cut off russian energy, that would seem to me that washington, an offense is just throwing europe under the bus doctor. we can, i have to continue this chat another time, but it was a pleasure to have you. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. so that you,

you has stepped back on imposing price limits on russian energy supplies. this is according to report li leaks document showing the block, opting instead to increase taxes on the profits of energy companies is all to contribute to rachel martha now and how such time since i've been packed to the west far more severely than they have here been russia, a lead draft of the european union's plan to deal with soaring energy prices across the block suggests that member states couldn't agree on a price cap for russian gas. that's according to media reports out today. now commission president ursula vander lion is expected to address the issue definitively on wednesday. but so far it looks like france and poland idea to cap the you supply even further is set to lose out to the better reasoning of the netherlands, dan mark and germany and the commission itself, which all opposed the idea of an energy cap for fear that suppliers, well, we'll just sell their product to other customers that pay better for all the talk

of us solidarity with the u on ukraine. it's not like american gas companies are going to just give it away. speaking of pain customers, germany was probably hoping to become one of iran's pain customers in the event that a revive nuclear deal could have lifted western sanctions on iranian fuel. because chancellor olaf schultz seems pretty bummed out that a deal hasn't happened yet, but sonata, for i'm going through, i re grab what's wrong, has not yet given a positive response to the proposals made either your opinion, codes, or nato, and oppose it. berlin is also getting flak from sanctions, advocates and environmentalists over its unwillingness to stop the shipment of russian uranium processed in germany to power france is nuclear plants. thankfully the e. u. has it sanctioned atomic fuel yet, which would be catastrophic on nuclear relied? france? speaking of which the eiffel towers lights are getting turned off earlier now each day here in paris to save energy. and it was also pretty comical that when cities

around the world lit up monuments to pay tribute to queen elizabeth last week in the wake of her death, paris just turned off the lights on the eiffel tower. you know, you hide union jack colors, lighting up monuments all over the world, the queen's face all over them and here it's just, well, you know, maybe it's the cheapest way to go. this is turn the lights off. so frats may just want to keep looking for excuses or people who pass away need to pay respects to every day by saying the lights off, because it looks like the countries energy crunch and europe's could get even more complicated. it turns out that the subsidiary of the state owned energy giant in x we seated of haul sir, or death. last 60000000 euros by erroneously selling electricity that it didn't actually have on the european wholesale market. the end result, possibly power cuts with the u. k. and spain specifically being alerted and while the you is realizing the challenge of breaking from russian energy, the u. s. is worried about where it's going to get its weapons,

grade aluminum. and the senate has even sounded the alarm in the letter to the pentagon. embry weeks, the operator, the only domestic high purity ellamin in producer and outs restrictions at the plant due to high energy costs estimate in the facility will be shut down for at least 9 to 12 months. us manufacturers who make crucial components for the aerospace aviation and defense sector now forced to source the product from foreign sources including russia, had an increased cost. despite the multiplication of headaches, that western allies are giving themselves and their own citizens. some still think that they are sticking it to russia and who russian citizens sanctions must be reflected in the everyday. lots of ordinary russians above ho, we must continue to provide ukraine with all forms of support and be prepared to impose even stricter sanctions. still, it looks like the most recent surge of western solidarity consists of many allied

nations coming independently to the realization that isolating russia from the global supply chain without taking a big hit themselves is not going to be as easy or as cheap as their ideological virtue signaling let's bring out some comparison for you here on the program on on t, as ukraine expects to receive another installment of financial aid from the european union with token a good 5000000000 euros store comparison. locals in gauze right now, continuing to suffer from a lagging reconstruction process after taking a pummeling from israel. that was back in august. now it all comes off. the ukraine is going to receive $3000000000.00 more dollars later this year. that brings the new financial aid total to at least $8000000000.00 for 2022. a. meanwhile, palestine received 862000000 in total, over the last 22 years from the e. u. it is a little bit of a discrepancy. perhaps his local journalist asana come out with more in early

august, is that i enlarged a 3000000000 military campaign against everything. and it's a mac you heard movement in gaza getting at least 50. but athenians including women and children, as well as when did i about the 360 others? israeli army then carried out dozens of the air strikes. again, that has dental building military sites and civilian properties under the rhetoric that they are belonging to the islamic. you heard movement in the area. they are sick and most powerful armed, but it's dns in that course that include the total cost of the destruction may go up to $230000000.00 for the housing sector and 800000000 dollars to compensate to those inflicted in the economic industrial and agricultural sectors gather that bradley needs financial donor to reconstruct their damage. id say, made that unit. their barriers in the a wars there between 2008. and the 2014 promises of assistance that have

been harmed, androids, and support. gather civilians have been voting and poured some time. however, the local residents of the course that english are afraid of is bending more years before we are building. that house is either very construction for process. exec going is slowly and began amid not donors up to a get a bunch out of the month ago. we were at home. these rarely army called our neighbors at 11 am and told them that they would bomb our house. we ran away without taking anything with us. 5 minutes later, the house was boned with a reconnaissance me style. and then it was targeted by 2 missiles from an f, 16 war plane. the house was completely destroyed and we became homeless. if we don't get funding, we won't be able to rebuild our house. we can hardly afford our food, drink and university educations by the fed offered war after targeting the tower with 8 bombs without any prior warnings. it led to great destruction and made all

the housing units and habitable, and displaced dozens of families, including more than 50 children, more than 50 women and more than a $120.00 men were very apprehensive, especially since the situation in the gaza strip is very difficult and there are many facilities that have been destroyed, and previous wars that have not yet been reconstructed so far. it had been on the crosshairs of the lake of international interest in the davis. if you were him in gaza, which are the same time, seem to be interested only in boring, more and more money a being through that green amanela model as m. i hope israel full responsible and we appeal to the donors to help us. we are asking the donors instead of paying the full money to ukraine, to finance the reconstruction in garza because our situation is more difficult than theirs. we have been under siege for many years, alana peakley, and i'm addressing my message to the international and air of community. and we urge you in the name of human rights and friendship with the palestinian people to expedite the restoration of this tower. and the rest of the facilities destroyed in

the gaza strip to enable people to restore their lives as they were before the recent israeli aggression, bel athenians ask, and not much income better than with the amount of money given to give by their, with. they only need the rebels that houses and live in bees, as well as the other communities around go no earlier on the program here are naughty. we spoke with our garza political activist mateo of m survey, who says that the western world has a tendency to turn a blind eye to the hardships of everyday palestinians. we, we had all this and we all know how the national community stood on one leg to urge their people to resist. i think today the better people, our lives alone in front of the brutality. 70000. but as being in a house house is going to lift after 2014 aggression or more

than 50000 in and where a butcher the damage after 2021 question, none of them were obliged to be rebel. so we are in front of another phase of the ongoing suffering which actually, which actually takes the place in front of the whole wall. so those, actually, those standards reveal it clearly. our for the stand does the national community project and the human values that they are claiming they have the european council says that a recent escalation and fighting between armenia and by john is extremely wiring. the counsels president cold for a complete and sustainable ceasefire. that's as ami as prime minister nicole patrick young has said that at least 49 soldiers were killed in a fierce overnight battle. the death toll still being assessed. meanwhile, as by john's defense ministry has close disclosed,

i should say that of our multiple casualties among its military forces, while explosions from artillery on drones, toys were reported by armenian citizen, shortly after midnight. have a look at these bitches. armenia says as, as are by johnny forces have been targeting that of civilian infrastructure. data by john has adamantly rejected that claim saying it's only directing fire at military installations in retaliation for quote, provocations from the armenian side. i mean, the defense ministry says 7 locations, including civilian areas were affected by the fighting. local journalist gave us this report about the recent escalation as or by john's armed forces, use artillery and military drones to attack sovereign armenian territory. and the battle that began around midnight september on september 13 after midnight, units of virginia forces, using their tillery systems more to send you release, open content, fire smoke tenuously on various sections of armenian as

a bridge. any border in the direction for meaning positions and initial cease fire called for the fighting to end at 9 am. but the answer by johnny army has continued to shell the armenian border in violation of the agreements. according to the official information 49 people were killed on the armenian side. it's unclear how many casualties were on the answer by johnny side. the armenian army is completely combat ready. we will fight for our lands. the answer by johnny army has attempted to move forward from their positions, but the armenian army has succeeded in pushing them back. in time, armenia is a national security council has officially appealed for help from russia, as well as moscow lead defense block. the c s t o and the united nations. meanwhile, as by john's defense minister, has said the escalation was a response to the armenian military placing land mines on as by johnny roadways. article journalist has more from back i. busy sources caused the missile defense also inform dad as a result of yesterday's contra measures taken,

measured by john the armed forces destroyed during an infrastructure that armenia continues to build on the. busy on the other by johnny on 1000000 border and this infrastructure new could pose a potential threat for to as much as security. they added that it will take another for 5 years for a minute to restore it at night sabotaged groups of armenian armed forces, using the mountaineers to rain and existent gaps in ravines. mine the territory sense supply roads between the positions of those it by johnny army units in different directions. it also said that it was an army has taken control over strategic points on the border, which would cause a threat and danger for the position that was, it was on the military units. it was underlined that as my journey army didn't have an intention or goal omnia to turn it into

a minion territory or an awful lot of hot topics. and today's, i choose a program live from moscow, here in our to international. we do appreciate your company will have much more for you when we return. that will be at the top of the hour. ah ah ah ah, for

ah. mm hm. mm mm. mm. hello, welcome to wells apart. what's the need? yeah, i know a wash with blue me forecasts for the coming winter on the sobering lifestyle changes that many europeans will have to make in order to get through it. but you are being the reliance on russian energy. it wasn't just a short sighted. political folly is the fundamental economic factor on which the entire economy of the eurozone depends. it's part of the following day sion on which european prosperity was built. can you replace that foundation without damaging the building on top of it?

well, to discuss that i'm now joined by glen deason, professor at the university of south eastern no rate for some reason. it's great to talk to thank you very much for your time. oh, my pleasure. and it's a bit of a surprise for me to speak to a western academic at the russian conference because, you know, they exchanges even intellectual exchange between the russians and the westerners. i know really encouraged that at this point of time, i'm too concerned about any political or career repercussions for speaking to archie. well, luckily i work for a university which is so quite strong on the defending academic freedom. so, and they pretty much given me rights to do as i please, sir, within certain boundaries. of course, i guess the main problem is in the media where there's a greater push for controlling the narrative. this is where you find out the rush to meet us, being in a sense search and will complete to shut down. and also we find.
