ah ah ah, fair among soccer regional residents here reportedly begin something down, those labeled collaborators after last week's withdrawal of russian lead forces if you want gas open all stream to president vladimir putin call for functions on the pipeline to be lifted, saying russia has nothing to do with europe's energy prices and south africa should not be punished for having russia as his partner. the message to the west from the country is president obama phone. he meet us counterparts

with if you live from us, you're here in moscow. you're watching. are see my name is peter got here with the top stories early this saturday morning. welcome to the programmer. we start with the latest developments in ukraine where battles continue for the city of coupons in the hock of region. ukraine had previously announced the complete takeover of the city, but it's been reported. the fighting is ongoing, and russian troops continue to hold defensive lines along the obstacle river, which runs through the settlements. also a quarter of positions of the ukrainian cracking regiments have been eliminated, according to the russian, m. o. d. and over 400 soldiers have been killed and wounded as a result of russian strikes on ukrainian positions in both the knick alive and cock of regions as well as in the done yet people's republic. again, that is according to the russian m. o. d. kennesaw city center has also been shown

by ukrainian troops. local russian bytes author, warranties, claimed, the 5 us supplied timers. rockets were fired at the office of the cast on administration during a meeting between local officials, 3 people were possibly killed and 30 wounded and verified footage purportedly shows people running on the blast. another video shows what is reported to be the aftermath of those. you can strike an explosion has also been reported in look, guns targets in the prosecutor general's office. according to local officials, the prosecutor general and his deputy killed will oblige. no other casualties have been reported so far. investigate the criminal came into the incident and by to kafka. now, work here last week reports at least started a hunt for those deemed to be traitors. private data belonging to people seen as

quotes. collaborators was posted on instagram, along with calls for violence against them on the ellipse, rancor gives us more. last week saw dramatic changes on the grain chessboard washing force is positioned in parts of the heart of region were sent south to help on the battlefield. in don bass, this allowed key of to regain control of these rather vast areas over here, mainstream outlets were quick to report on what they called a major success by the gradient army. however, how key of pretty much immediately began to treat some locals. there has fallen on deaf ears, machine grant. it doesn't matter to the ukrainian nationalists, whether these people actually help the russian army or the military civil administration. they would eliminate almost the entire population that had lived under our authority in any way they would label them all traders. when the russian troops moved in february, this year,

the locals had 3 options for the war to the west. fleet to the north, each russia or stay if they didn't want to abandon their homes in poverty. the fear today is that pretty much anyone who chose option 3 could automatically become a traitor in the view of ukraine's military. and that's possibly an open road to abduction or even death. the hunt for traders is on full throttle. much of it is being done through the telegram messenger app. you create the national creat telegram channels, where they publish the personal data of so called enemies of ukraine. now what about the criteria? well, it seems that it's up for any one to decide. it's reported that even receiving humanitarian aid from russia could cause real trouble. here's some of what we came across on telegraph the city of cooper and has been liberated. now we are beginning to search

for traitors. all the addresses are already there. we are adding a category called the occupants collaborators. these are those who help the occupants build checkpoints, feed them, and so on. these are the fanatics of the russian world from less chance after the liberation, we'll need to save the child from such excellent parents. some have been sol armed by the hail storm of controversial telegram posts. they launched a petition on change dot org addressing telegrams founder dear mister durham, on behalf of the russian people living both in russia and ukraine. we are asking you to put an end to telegram being used as a tool to co ordinate political terror and mass murderers, ethnic cleansing, and mass extra judicial executions are unacceptable for any nation. but this is exactly the aim of publishing personal data while calling for violence. it's been reported that groups of locals are still trying to flee the hark of region fearing reprisals. but according to the russian media,

ukrainian authorities have blocked all roads from the area. they're also confiscating people's passports. all of this has been strongly condemned by the russian foreign ministry. vocal was, it was very nice that we had armed by the numerous reports of the so called filtration activities carried out by the cleaning security services and alms, neo nazi formations. in the territories level by the allies part of their regrouping. now, the people are affected by this. frightening to imagine what the cleaning armed forces are doing to them. well, 1st and foremost, talking about the people being killed the tissue g. the saddest thing is that even when innocent people are suffering from shelling or missile attacks, there are still under threats by neo nazis at checkpoints. and on telegram, the russian president, vladimir putin, has blamed the west for its energy crisis, calling for the functions on the north stream to gas pipeline, to be lifted. you made the comments,

the shanghai corporation organization summit. it is buckets done. if you didn't, there was another attempt to shift a headache from a sick person to a healthy one with the energy crisis in europe did not start with the beginning of the special military operation in ukraine, but much earlier, the green agenda, national populace statement show that someone is to blame or only to secure protection against the outreach citizens of their own country and prom does not provide gaff. are you people at all normal? and if it's so urgent, if everything is so difficult, then remove all the sanctions from north street to join the summit. vladimir putin also met his turkish counterpart, wretched earth, one. that's all leading to an agreement. the 25 percent of russian gossip lies to turkey. would be paid in roubles present, also referred to ukraine as a tool of western powers to fide russia and cold russian indian relations. a quote, particularly privileged strategic partnership. we heard from an india based foreign

policy expert who says that no country should be blacklisted from a well intention efforts to resolve the global few crisis. conflict has to be solved to amicably and it should be thought of in a peaceful way so that you know, like i'm and no one feels disheartened and no one feel blacklisted on the one creative black me as but for security. and the whole crisis is very important issue . it is the very confounding issue not to be rushed off. are you or are you paying budget issue which concerns a whole was honorable prime minister to be raised up the issue of you know, of the problem in relation to supply chain in relation to food, food security, thoughts and in relation to the full means of solving the problem, and i think all the international organizations, whether it is shanghai corporation,

by the united nation. anyone who steps in water board call being made non hon. time minnesota all talk on we had mentioned about all the and one for general grant. he had once again 3 ram he met on the inside line that time in this conflict need to be solved for the non precedent also mentioned to be honorable prime minister of india and russia on the front of india. very bad lead all the important countries together in the role involving all on all being on fox and issues. personally, issues in relation to l. l in relation to be in relation to prison and in relation to america will not save your opinions from freezing this winter. there's a heads of us shell companies. these resources could alleviate the energy crisis in

the you said, there are no hurry to increase exports or to contribute to rachel mazda has more details. the e, you appears to be keen on fighting russia down to the last ukranian and also down to the last euro of its own citizens. europeans who may have thought that they could count on their government to soften the blow of the clammy energy prices and inflation are starting to realize that the elite are more interested in solidarity with ukraine than with them. the most recent hint came this week from french economy minister between the men who suggested that not all local authorities in france could end up with the help from the french government to keep services running amid the energy crunch. you have well managed communities and others, the to less well managed when i see communities that have hired massively and then come to appeal to the state because they can't pay the energy bills to pay in place of the community that composed the difficulty. so i guess french citizens who have the misfortune of living in a community run by bad local politicians,

are going to be punished with closures or cut backs and things like city run amenities, skating, rink, library swimming pools, all because the government will help them out. power, so this is supposed to know if their local governments are to corrupt for french government crisis funding. can they just go to city hall and asked of the politicians there are to corrupt for the french government because it might be a good idea for them to find out now before winter so that maybe they can move so much for solidarity. this is exactly what happened during the coven 19 pandemic. here in france, when we were all initially told by the government that there would not be a 2 tier society with mandates required for access to daily life. and then they did an about face and demand. the jap passes to access every day venues. again, we're starting to see the possibility emerge of a 2 tier society and a time of crisis. one that the government drags everyone into only to then decide

who it's going to save g. i wonder if the quote well run communities just happens to e, those that are run by officials in the same party as the government majority and president emanuel mack home. it just seems like this is really shaky ground for la math to be standing on. the may also said that the crisis will cost paris $16000000000.00 euros to cap energy bills, french prime minister, and he's about bona has said that french citizens are expected to pay about $25.00 euros more each month for gas next year. instead of a couple of 100 more, without the cap for gas heating, and about 20 years more for lecture electricity heating. now that's a big increase for the french worker making minimum wage of about $1300.00 euros a month before taxes. and it's not like that you can count on the us to help them out according to one of the largest shale industry investors. it's not like the u.

s. can pump a bunch more. our production is what it is. there's no bailout coming, not on the oil side, not on the gas side. oh, but ursula vander line. you commission president said from cue this week, that freedom is priceless. asked about the potential impact of you are developing energy crisis on support for keith von to land sense 10 in with the crane comes to high cost with our freedom, the international peace order, and democracies. priceless. that's precisely the kind of remark from this, an elected official that shows just how disconnected the e u bush was. he is from the average person who's bearing the brunt of the elite, swore on the european way of life, as it's destroyed by successive self inflicted crises. well, the energy crisis is getting pace across europe, triggering protests by restaurant on coffee owners on the italian island of sicily . in these images, you can see restaurant customers being 4 seats by candle lights,

as owners, historians cope with soaring energy prices have turned off their lights this week to send a message to the government. many also putting their gas on electricity bills on public display arts. he spoke with some restaurant owners who have described their situation as desperate l. nashville, tennessee that i am on the increase in electricity cost is destroying us twice in a period in which we should save money waiting for the winter where there is little work. but we do not really know how to pay the bills. the last electricity bill in august was 26000 euros. if, while last year we paid $6000.00 euros with the same consumption equal. we're also going to c l moment. and what is happening in italy is shameful, or it is absurd. they me out, in my opinion, they are speculating on the citizens. we have reached a point where we really don't know what to do then sick. we can't get out of this tunnel of chrysler lawmakers with companies will get more and more to everybody. there is a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout the children. a las gigabytes yona

request, start spin that are obvious, but in my opinion, there is a lot of speculation on the increase in electricity and even the energy that comes from reliable sources is increasing by 400 percent. it is inexplicable. what is happening going forward? like this between citizens retired people. yes, it says will go towards bankruptcy. there are no alternatives still, well looking for methane, g r. a high stakes meeting has taken place in washington, where the south african president has asked joe biden, not to punish african countries for having russia as a partner. ortiz trouble, a thought that takes us through the 2 countries, rocky relationship. the united states and south africa are coming together again. yet the world views could not be any further upon. this is the 2nd high level meeting between the 2 country. preceded by us secretary of saint anthony blinking his visit here on the continent. last month. has us president joe biden found in south africa leader settled on plaza and man to do his africa, bidding everyone's up to buy favor. and that africa with $54.00 countries,

massive voting power in the united nations, more or less split where south africa was neutral. a few countries, formerly opposed sanctions and condemnation of russia in the u. n. some were pro western, it is one of those periods where doubles your politics has a sort of tectonic shift and the decline of the west european chaos, u. k. out of europe, the desperation of europe to get fossil fuels from africa. at the same time, they pretend that they care about climate change, which will hit africa. hardest pressure that both the west and the bricks block put on south africa. it's a tug of war that's reminiscent of the old cold war. and what would be logical behind the scenes is for us to offer you can make incentives and other support for south africa that are, i'm opposed to, would not otherwise get. washington is a way the changing of the dynamics to the old world order and one south africa to

be at this point race here on the continent. the u. s. is expected to insights. i'm opposed with increased investment and trade a global powerfully to neutralize the bricks and russian influence on the continent . but power, if exactly what south africa needs right now, that countries scribbling power cars have intensified and will tail growth in the continent. second largest economy. while the americans and the europeans continue to pressure south africa to the green energy sauces. i'm opposed to any cabinet have not entirely turned back a new t elegy, the west and i was an $8500000000.00 pledge of loans and grants it last year as you and conference and climate change to help south africa dump is reliant on coal that the drop in the ocean compared to the $250000000000.00 that researchers estimate the country will need to invest in the next 10 years. the whole industry accounts were more than 5 percent. because g d p,

an employees over 120000 people. but while the country is being pushed to ditch fossil fuels, european imports of south africa code, we're up to 720 percent in the 1st half of 2022. absolutely, there's been so much politics involved in energy decisions worldwide. very foolish politics. africa is not europe. it's time the african countries started to make their own decisions for their own circumstances. many african countries about a dozen. they'll have formerly notified the international atomic energy agency that they wish to pursue nuclear as a future. and that is small modular reactors for their circumstances. we are building them in south africa. we would love to have interaction with many countries to install such reactors and not try to follow your appeal models. one and relations can be poised out of common endeavor, aspiration of fear. but for some, i'm a, was

a political party. the ruling african national congress was, is a friend, a partner, and accommodate that supported the during the liberation movements in time of colonialism. and it's paula cuts continue to intensify south africa. more and more . moscow seems like part of the solution. got i believe john is back for oddity international. an unprecedented report, retraction has occurred in the field of environmental protection science. and then n g o has public apologize for misleading report. the blamed asian states for plastic pollution or the green organizations welcome the apology. this unprecedented report retraction as an opportunity to interrupt decades of waste colonialism. pushing conservancy is in a position to raise awareness among other organizations and policy makers about the false narrative propagated by the report. in 2015 the u. s. based environmental

advocacy group, ocean conservancy reported holding 5 asian most responsible, 5 asian countries most responsible for ocean pollution. the report published in partnership with the coca cola company said these countries accounts for most of the worlds plastic waste leakage. however, in 2022, the enjo change disposition, saying that the blame lies with the corporations that produced ansel increasing amounts of plastic will as discuss this issue with political analyst, alessandra bruno who's joining us now live. thanks for jonathan. nazi alessandro. i'm 1st of all you want to impressions. what's your reaction to this retraction of that report? well, i was surprised about the retraction. on one hand, i was surprised that they made the accusation in the 1st place 7 years ago. and but not surprised that the retraction was coming. because these days,

such narratives are completely on a thema and we tend to look at all problems as stemming from the work, particularly environmental one. that said, i think one of the is a fact that one of the big problems of the current plastic waste disposal problem is that china and to some extent, to other countries like vietnam and, and the few others decided to stop importing western plastic waste and other in 2000 and team and at a formal level, because until then, china was imposing this weight. and this caused huge problem in western countries that have had to revert back to lanfield. and in some

cases reluctantly to integration. but i think the big problem, the overlying problem is that many environmental issues are approach these days, not practically, but ideologically. there's always the shadow of climate change and always the responsibility of the west at the, in the background. and this causes the search not for solutions, but only for certain type of solution. and in fact, there was a previous report you had on energy. well, i think this is a parallel problem. we have idea logical responses rather than practical responses because incinerators, which many western countries do not like are actually quite efficient if you use the right incinerator. and many countries such advance countries in switzerland, denmark, and a few others are using incinerator to, to,

to dispose of plastic and certainly this problem is not going to go away anytime soon. it's only going to get bigger. well, this is a full finally, on the plate, some of the damage this some incinerators can cause by, by burning plastic. but what sort of negative impacts do you think that could be? by having this report out in the open, it was 7 years to retract that also negative impact. could it have by falsely accusing these asian countries have been to blame for the plastic pollution problems? well, the main issue is like with any problem that is a technical and practical nature. if you identify the wrong culprits, then you have the wrong solution. so then you don't solve the problem at all. that's is the main which is the problem with all kinds of things these days. i mean, you can, you could make the case that yes, china is the world's biggest industrial producer. and so

a lot of the plastic products originate in china. but demand exists in the west and of course as china and these developing countries get richer and consumer demand increases in their markets, then they have a growing domestic garbage problem. but the issue is, is old. i came across the report written in 1994 already looking at this problem. and then of course there's another we were talking about plastic. but developing countries have been processing the waste of the west for the decade in all kinds of things. for example, ships are dismantled in bangladesh and india. huge dismantle and recyclers of old ships and for scrap metal. but the scrap metal and plastic plastic, it's harder to get rid of. and there's

a something called micro plastic. apparently, all of us, all of us humans in just the size of a small credit card every year in plastic particles, according to a report. i've also heard something very similar, of course, to ship dismantling facilities that calls huge environmental ominous danger to the people that work as well. if you one last question, please alessandro, do you see a potential conflicts of interest to, with coca cola being the so called a steering group involved in that report? what were coca cola makes? is a huge bottler. so i didn't many developments in plastic were prompted by coca cola needs. that said, i think the solution to a better kind of plastic, more recyclable, will probably come from companies like coca cola as well. alternately the market or

the it this problem is huge. i. i, i try not to think about it, i admit, because it is something that the images that we are seeing on the screen right now that is truly disturbing. and the same time and class in the solution cannot be, i don't green piece and other n g o is getting involved, i think inc, make the problem. don't solve the problem. i think the, you need to practical approach scientific technological because this is a scientific technological problem. and we could indeed keep discussing this problem for hours to comb alessandro, but i'm afraid we've run out of time. that's all it's under bruno political analysts. thank you very much. for sharing your thoughts today on the retraction of dots, environmental report. why the united states global dominance is coming to an end?

as, according to a new poll, 50 percent of americans believe the u. s. will no longer be a superpower within the next 10 years. the poll comes in the wake of a joint statements between president vladimir putin and his chinese counterpart in which they stress, the cooperation between the 2 global powers is on the rise mos goes announced it could replace the defunct nod stream to pipeline settled, to ship a gas to europe this way, the new line. we're going east, the russian deputy prime minister has said that the power of siberia to will deliver gas from russia to china, a growing gas consumer by it, mongolia, been a 1st come to us. meanwhile, iran and russia are also strengthening relations insecurity and energy. while terran has signed up to full membership of a regional power house, the shanghai corporation, organization, moss and car, just to marry the ceo of the national iranian oil company, says the 2 countries are moving ahead with various joint ventures. a man,

2nd mclennan by thing, europeans themselves are partly to blame for depriving themselves of gas. europeans should choose a policy that excludes restrictions on themselves and does not impose restrictions on gas in other countries. we all should use logical approaches in energy disputes . currently we have 7 oil reserve wall and salmon contracts worth $4000000000.00 with various washing continental. we are also conducting negotiations, including on the further development of several new oil and gas, reserve wars and on investments. in ellen g that we have a 40000000000 agreement with gas problem, we have discussed exchange in our experiences and gas and all requiring technologies. and we have really an understanding of these agreements and, and i think we will be able to achieve positive results concerning investments, especially li, implementation of projects in the fields of energy, oil and gas reply and re did a san rushing. the reading corporation is now on a good pass on the development and has it's low apple port club you weekends,

off to a great start for more on any of those stories you've just seen. you head over to r t dot com. i'm pizza scott's on the back and another look in about 30 minutes time. ah ah. with

ah . the republic of moldova ranks is one of the poorest countries in europe. oh, if it goes from boston, it should by gordon maloney version annual g d p per capita is about $4000.00 euros . and even that sultry amount is mainly made up of remittances, central abroad by migrant, moldova workers, blah, blah. so we've got a minimal goal with the economy revolves around agriculture.
