ah, ah ah, your top headlines right now, what are you, the national, russia warrant, ukraine's latest security proposals to us western allies. all right, direct path to world war 3. you leaders compare anti russian sanctions to diet and one that will need to be endued until march, the people on the streets to complain of being pushed into poverty. india is gotten that imposes a ban on rice exports in an effort to increase domestic availability as a devastating floods have wiped out. numerous harvests on the british commonwealth

is at the crossroads off of the death of the queen. that's one of its countries. the island nation. of antique and buddha, planning to hold a referendum to become an independent republic. another member state, uganda considers dropping old colonial mag. naming places up. people should be respected and are now not living. listen, i'm going to stick with . so i just wanted to say and a half way through your work week with your leg as well as headlines or whatnot. you international, a great pleasure to have you with us today. so moscow says that ukraine's latest security proposals to its western allies will essentially, quote, shackle them into servitude to kiev with some pretty strong words right there. but let's bring into ortiz, you could have done the gross details on this. at ega. fresh out of the, the conflict zone of ukraine. good to have you back in moscow here in one piece.

it's well, like i said, pretty strong. was that what, what, what's the essence if you would take the key abs demands? what, what are they saying? well, totally, well, the very basic bottom line is with these of these proposals that have been drawn up by the way, by key of and nato together is to provide you crane with all the perks that a natal member state gets, but without actually declaring or ukraine and giving it the status of a member state of this block, essentially. and there are a few points here. for example, a bunch of european nations and nato member states that they will be obliged to, according to these proposals, a to invest into ukraine to provide ukraine with arms shipments. secondly, they would pledge military action in case ukraine's well security is compromised in case ukraine is threatened, or they will be conducting joint exercises, nato, and key of and so on and so forth. the proposed guarantors of all this would be the

u. s. u k, canada, a bunch of european nations like poland, italy, and et cetera. and so they would have the same obligations in front of ukraine are as they do in front of any other nato member states. preventive measures like when the realms of the military finance. so it is really an all encompassing an effort. it is an all encompassing proposal that is very, very much global and in its magnitude, it could be very significant when it comes to both the fates of ukraine and well, the natal block, his house, zalinski, and his nato counterpart. how the? well, how they discussed and how they announced this, these proposals have ellison, these were, this is the key issue. there's great, great big 4th step thing as a possible. you've done a great job. you've done a lot and work together as

a team. but this is just the 1st step. it is the 1st, but an essential step. well, again, they're saying it's an essential step. of course, keith, once this deal give, once this out of the proposals fate and drawn to something more concrete. because again, it is quite a lopsided key of gets everything, the american military industrial complex gets loads of money, a loads of orders under europe, world, europe has to provide everything kind of a kind of sounds like this is all going to be crossing one of our putin's red lines, you got to tell me here, what kind of reaction are we getting out of moscow to this? well, in moscow, in the kremlin now, they did not minced their words, they said that it was due a direct path to world war 3. this is a quote to, by russia's former president of course, the tree madrid of. and again, this goes, this brings nothing to the table when it comes to, you know, restoring peace in europe. if you like it, it does exactly the opposite. because if you rewind towards, you know,

february january, december, when russia, when moscow was voicing its security concerns, it wanted exactly the opposite. this was the main reason that russia started. it's what it calls a special military operation because it did not want ukraine to potentially sometime become a nato member state. here's how this these proposals were described by the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry. marie has a heart of again, have a listen, please. either this will tied hands of the european union in such a way and put them under such savage, several dependence that they will never recover to their former economic growth and development. now that they in such a difficult situation, they have proposed such a terrible shackle. and to find in their blood, it will be a never ending horror. well, it does go for it does go very much against the russian, you know, goals of demilitarization and d nat, if occasion would cause the goals of the russian special operation in ukraine. so

again, it does not bring peace any closer to we have this kind of further coagulation of ukraine or kia with it. so western professional partners here, we had a reaction out of moscow that was pretty firm. one might say, any reaction out of brussels yet? well, so far there's no indication that these proposals were drawn up in any shape or form together with brussels. it's as if they were held almost like held hostage. so this is what we're getting. this would keep is going to get. this is what the us is going to get and you are going to provide everything. so again, our time and time again, we've been hearing these statements coming out of brussels, are coming out of various european countries. they're saying ok, we are eager to provide money to loan money to ukraine, to provide weapons heavy military equipment as well, but only to a certain point. and the many nations have already stepped forward saying that the limit has been reached. if they were to send more weapons to ukraine than they would be taking them away from their own armed forces. so,

but no can do. and almost after every say statement we, we've seen more and more arms pouring into ukraine, including from europe to, from the united states. of course, a lot of them, but from europe as well. it's as if they're being strong armed into providing more and more weapons. so that they potentially could, later are, will strike deals and, you know, purchase said weapons from the united states because their own safety and security is being compromised by all by this, you know, or by they still flow by the stream of military equipment that they are providing to ukraine, so i, europe, it doesn't seem that europe is excited about this thing. you know, at the same time, bigger though, you know, i've heard a numerous or concerns from various european politicians that they're kind of running extraordinarily oh, with their weapons stockpiles or they keep pumping into ukraine. and then it was a couple of weeks ago that moscow said that it would actually slow down it special military operation in ukraine to reduce civilian casualties. so if indeed,

the russian side is slowing down and the western side is running out of weapons, you might wonder, the end of the day europe might find itself with very little to defend itself with at some point in the future. of course, nobody hope that would ever get to that point, but don, off, always appreciate it. thank you. we spoke with the most in the executive vice president of the eurasia center. now he says, the key of is telling european politicians how to act. i'm just made that statement that the criticism that is thrown at germany and other other member states that are, that may not be providing as much as ukraine would like. and i must say that this is essentially drawing down their own surprise supplies. and essentially d will writing nato members for a country that's not part of the, it's not part of nato. there's no defending democracy. it's not

really a democracy in this country, so they've got political career too, so they have to watch out for themselves and they should be watching their, their people. unlike what mr. bareback to hear more about ukraine than the german people to see the amount of what happens, the amount of, of a flowing in some money flowing in the crane. and yet they talked about insults of the senior people. this is just me, it's humility. i would find it humility, humiliating if i was your your p and diplomats have those types of comments made. it said the ukraine is dictating the path. it's shocking to me. as i can only see that happening if they've got a big brother behind them supporting you know, who the big brothers are that are happy with the european. well, let's give you some the latest now from don bass. ukrainian artillery shelling as

we understand now, is killed 4 civilians and a village, and just north of gorda. love car that's in the don't. yes, we are public. over the past 24 hours. it's off the local officials in the neighboring lu gans republic said at least 2 people died and a ukrainian strike on tuesday. what of caution? you may find the following images disturbing and show you the aftermath of the attack, which is the city of lifted chunk. official say the shelling came during a humanitarian aid delivery to locals and it was apparently american supplied hi maurice rockets that hid this area. meanwhile, the governor of russia's belgrade region has reported renewed ukrainian shutting of a village on the border. at least 2 people wounded locals are being evacuated, comes a day after a ukrainian refugee was killed and forwarded in a similar attack by ukrainian forces. now this all comes as hundreds of ukrainians have been fleeing to russia. it's actually that of following a recommendation by the acting head of ukraine's ne hardcopy region. the influx of

refugees was triggered recently when keith's military forces took control or should i say, we took control of a number of towns that a fear ukrainian reprisals in those territory. so have been growing as we understand with threats actually being made against anyone who has been cooperating with russia. is what a one of the refugees told us. too much of the subs. 3 of them, the shell and started and they fired the administration and shops shops where there were a rushman products. they were looking for people with brushing passports and they tortured them. these for the national battalions. he, quentin army, seemed to be ok. but the battalions didn't carry was women were children, they didn't even speak ukrainian or russian. we thought it was very scary to state . so the chief of underlay and give the state of the union address that does raise a few eyebrows. she focused more on the ukraine conflict than other potentially

more urgent issues within the block. that is, as ordinary europeans are struggling to make ends meet them. it's skyrocketing, energy prices, natural gas, costing. now. it's well over it's 2000, at least $2250.00 per cubic meter. as soon as russia to cross the border into ukraine, our response was united, determined, and immediate. and i think we can be proud of that. you are solid charity with ukraine will remain shaken. will details on this now? building further without you contribute? rachel moss and joining us lie from pires. get to see you, rachel. so wow. any reaction from a you politicians to underlay and speech? well, anyone tuning into you commission president ursula vander lans annual state of the european union's speech. this morning could be forgiven for thinking that ukraine was in the ear when, of course,

it isn't because that's all she could talk about despite brussels own sanctions policies. amid the ukraine conflict being single handedly responsible for downloading cost of living hardships on european citizens, europeans wanted to hear web brussels plan to do for your opinions to ease their pain on everything from energy pricing to inflation. several members of european parliament were upset with what fonder lion had to say. it's a serious cookie pie laddie. you just have to speak to citizen used to businesses calling. i can promise you that none of them is concerned about the russian credit . but what they are concerned about is that they are having to deal with the damage caused by years of devastating policy. but i think i quite bore, ah, we have heard talk about general policies in it. but the objective must be to look after the interests of european citizens and respond to their concerns at all. but i have come here with the gas bill that people asked me to show you. we have a 2130 euros for people are worried about not being able to heat their homes this

winter. certainly, chrissy thrilled more did so cuz all button wall energy security and mitigating high energy prices is our most pursing task. the situation we are facing is very difficult unipolar world with your opinions or anger that the time will soon come when you have to stand before a judge and say what you have done for the european dream or your salt york. there . the commission told us that these sanctions will bring russia to its knees. we'll just sell you promised us that the sanctions would herb russia, naughty ruffians, i am better, and the surprise to sa continue to skyrocket. and all this time russia has happened, lou profited from the energy market, vague it, moshe, right? it's almost as if you crate as a convenient excuse to avoid dealing with problems that have long plagued the you since well, before the ukraine conflict. listening to vander lane, you think that everything in europe was going pretty well, which it really isn't. brussels is also apparently committed to staying the course on its ukraine policies, which are proving to be nothing less than disastrous for the

e. u. economy and its people. and as if to illustrate how oblivious years vonner line announced that you energy companies would have their profits kept. the commission has proposed introducing a profit ceiling of a $180.00 euros per megawatt hour for coal nuclear and renewable energy companies in the e u. so now instead of the russian or foreign energy price kept that some member states wanted, it's now going to be you companies that are going to be paying the rice for the e, use ukraine policies so much for the western free market. i guess the commission also proposes a reduction across the block of electricity consumption by 10 percent until march 31st of next year and an obligation for member states to reduce use by 5 percent during peak hours. the whole speech was like a mix tape of the ease, greatest hit, she talked about expanding the block to include moldova, georgia and ukraine. when there's hardly enough cash to go around already. she made a lot of noise about green and digital transitions, which just sounds like

a pretext for taking more control over people's daily lives. she announced a new 3000000000 euro investment for hydrogen energy, while ignoring the brussels sanctions and the need for immediate energy. have single handedly revived fossil fuel projects and infrastructure. it just sounds like the leadership in brussels from vander lied. the chief diplomat, joseph burrell, are just totally russia obsessed, exclusionary pretty much everything else. we cannot lift sanctions until they have had their effect. they may not have had an immediate impact. it is like going on a diet to lose weight and being upset that you haven't lost kilo's and kilo's after just a couple of weeks. so while they are focused on sticking it to russia and to vladimir putin, low income spanish families are now finding it harder to afford healthy basic foods . according to al moon dough recent report, a new survey also found the 85 percent of them worry about the impact of the ukraine crisis on their daily lives and say that life is become 30 percent more

expensive. so while european suffer vander line is basically telling them to ask, not what can be done for them, but what they can keep doing for ukraine to paraphrase that famous phrase by us president john f. kennedy. i've rachel, thank you. not a central africa where 60 farm associations of ours to government officials for national investments into the domestic agriculture industry to help ease the dependency on food in ports. given the current crisis, we need governments in central africa to give us the means and resources so that we can produce enough feeds. because now we don't have a sufficient amount to insure our food sovereignty. there is an urgent need and the farmers organizations are very willing to solve the food crisis and in the south for the continent. the situation is dire with economic and environmental factors contributing to a potential humanitarian disaster. in symbolic way, 3800000 people without a stable supply of food and embarking

a fast. so that number comes to nearly 3 and a half 1000000 in gambia. over 300000 people are desperate just for the next meal. well, we spoke with the associate professor at the university of south africa to me be, be center, can believes the food problem and poverty in africa will be growing until the un adopt small, flexible policy. the that it is that while we are, you know where to where the gap between the rich and poor keeps on going and going every day, every hour. i know that he should be coming, reached out to poor, becoming poor dear the only 2 of them it is that nothing would change. and especially where we are to do with all these donte fur, said jim, jim's, i'm d a. jim's all reach out based on the race in general. so some extending out of it will continue to see this. kept going and food

becoming a public, as long as the united united nation or their own general does not playing flexible policies type of key for those who are poor and those who i need. if they can suffer the consequences. what about the poorest of the poor, which is i think, i think i think it's one of the quentin n dot stuff i can get consequence of this kind of functions as the main rice export is to southern africa have been dealing with poll harvest. so the situation is due to get worse as massive floods in pakistan and india set to cut imports from those nations. as i'm about has been exporting full 1000000 tons per year in the past to southern africa. and new delhi had been a study contributor of $21000000.00 tons per year. seems perhaps though, those days could soon be over. now the price of the commodity is expected to rise

off to the indian government band, the export of rice to increase its availability at home over now it's while correspondent little engine shot. it's already been the export to wheat. and now the indian government has put a blanket ban on exports of broken rice. additionally, a 20 percent duty is also being placed on the export of all non basmati mal rice barring to premier varieties. the soil comes into effect after the 15th of september. when this no deviation came on its evening, lot of consignments were already either emerald onward, under preparation, and they were ready to move to the ports. we estimate that it on the 5 to 7 elect answer would have been under this kind of situation. so it's a huge damage because they will all get stuck and now they have to return the concerns back to the government blamed an abnormal increase in exports and said

it's more was to control domestic food inflation in the bandits exports because it had less talk or wheat and rice following an unexpected crop failure. moreover, rice producing states of india such as been job. arianna b har, an order for dish sol, week monsoon this year and that's disrupted and destroyed. crop yields. india exports rise to more than $150.00 countries and broken rise to all was $75.00 asked for experts. the sudden halt in overseas shipments could mean an upward trend in food prices disrupting the global supply chain. the move by india, which accounts for 40 percent of the global rise trade is expected to father put pressure on countries that are already struggling with soaring food inflation and worsening food crisis. due to extreme weather patterns, heat ways, and the conflict in ukraine, hulu. girl at times from cali to uh,

2020 india was the only country, vito maintained its exports did not rest. if you look at piling, the, the 60 the export or something vietnam restricted. so what happened in turn is that the whole world started looking at india for someplace, this fight covey. i would exclude service, so that records you know, i know, going to be then the then the food security across the way. we'll get didn't know rocha rice, the eas, essentially, fragments arise green, broken into feel during font would ation drying or milling. i know it's not defective or less nutritious. in fact, it's very popular in some of south asian countries. rook and rice and india as used primarily for ethanol production and as animal for door. and of course, for human consumption in several countries. india has been the cheapest supply of

rise in the world by a big margin which is shielded several african countries. but all that aside, the priority for new delhi for now is to boost domestic a well ability region sharma, r t arianna various civil liberties groups are ringing the alarm in the u. k. after police made several arrests of people protesting against the new king and the monarchy in general. the man in edinburgh was arrested after he had called prince andrew during a procession carrying the queen's coffin. a police report li pulled the man out of the crowd while some fellow and look as if he tried to punch him. also in edinburgh, an officer stopped a man to check a blank piece of paper. he was holding to question him. if he was going to write something, quote, offensive about the newly crowned, came up

a blank way off of what you said. you watch stuff on it now, you know, i don't like hang on a sign. and you know, if it's not my case might be useful. so i think we can argue that we spoke with a political analyst and editor of redstone radio, alexander mckay, he says free speech isn't always free. the free speech in britain is much like british democracy and freedom to protest. you're allowed to protest as long as it doesn't inconvenience anybody who's in power. and you are allowed to tell the truth long after all the guilty parties of retired and failure to abide by. that generally elicits a very unfavorable response from those in power. what the british establishments have been saying is that it's ok to protest, but you've got to do it when the time is right. so you can only protest against the monarchy when nobody's paying attention to the monica you know,

will pay attention to your protest. so it just reveals the 1st of all is a great deal of obese apocryphal, even the rule is a britain with regard to this. but also that there is a large amount of law on the books in britain that is used to restrict protest and freedom of speech. now, this is not used a lot of the time when the rule is don't require it to be, but it's there for when they want it to be in there for occasions like this when they want to project this image of total national unity and nobody can be allowed to interrupt that nobody can be allowed to descend to publicly. well, the queen's death has again raised questions about the future relationship with commonwealth countries. of course, where the british monarch is still the head of state and tica and bob buddha plan to decide on whether to become an independent republic within the next 3 years. so says the prime minister, the move would remove king charles the 3rd as the head of the caribbean nation, australia. another country in the commonwealth says it may not put king charles on

its bank notes and that is ultimately breaking a long time tradition. also a politician's in you alone, your names from locations in that countries such as lake victoria named off or another late when the local say would be more appropriate to name these places to honor their own prominent community members, it is not fair at all, ma'am. the structure in the name of the colonies us because as a country uganda, we know we up, but she had dick and we love our country. we should, ma'am. our structure was the name that we want. i believe you're going to also need to be involved to feel like we own this to this country and to enjoy, you know, walk down and help me. the name of the street names that you can associate with, you know, i think naming blessings of people should be of respect and of love, not naming. listen. i'm going to people who hope for me to live. i looked in us

making us poor, the same people that came and coordinates our brothers and sisters, the same people that took our people in slavery, but rename our things up to them. yet we ourselves in africa. we have hardly does that of great question. we have had leaders that are more passionate about this country again over to a political analyst, alexander mckay, who says that in today's current times international relations should be based on that of mutual respect. well, i think it's 1st to say that much of the profits of british capitalism in the 19th and into the 20th century, where again, via a looting of nations, particularly india. but other countries as well. when britain or other colonial powers go to places, they don't go to develop them, they go to remove the wealth from us, which is what we did with india. and what we would have done with uganda, kenya,

south africa. and really, what needs to be done is that needs to be re balancing in the british relationship with the well, we are still, our government is still hosting on the, on the rich is obtained in the colonial period. that needs to be a new relationship between britain and the world, which is based on an equitable relationship between sovereign nation states. not something which is dedicated towards defending the profiteering of the city of london or defending british investments is about mutually beneficial and respectful diplomatic relations. and that's the kind of relationship the britain should be building in the 21st century, not long, which is constrained by the colonial attitudes of the past. hi, that's it for now, from the studio here at moscow, thanks for sharing a time with us here on the russian capital, it is r t international with a busy day for your website headlines. we have more for you when we return to the top with
