[000:00:00;00] a not by mia ah, there among region residents here reportedly begins on thing down, those labeled collaborators. that's after last week. withdrawal of russian lead forces south africa should not be punished for having russia partner. not the message to the west from the countries. the president wrote my post that he needs his us counterpart. and you want gas open no stream to anybody there. putin call for sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted,

saying russia has nothing to do with europe. energy crisis, a few live from our studio here in moscow. you're watching r t. m p just got to the top stories 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 heart of region. ukraine hard previously announced the complete takeover of the city bots. it's been reported. the fighting is ongoing, and russian troops continue to hold defensive lines along the osco river, which runs through the settlements. also, it harker positions of the ukrainian kracken regiment have apparently been eliminated according to the russian, m. o. d. and over $400.00 soldiers have been killed or wounded as a result of russian strikes on ukrainian positions in the nick alive and character

regions as well as in the done yet people's republic again is according to russia's m o. d. meanwhile, here san city center has also been shelled by ukrainian troops, local russian, but orthography claim that 5 us supply high miles rocket with the office of the hearse on administration. during a meeting between local officials, 3 people were reportedly killed and 30 more wounded. this unverified footage purportedly shows people running from the blast and another video shows what is reported to be the aftermath of those ukrainian strikes. an explosion has also been reported in lieu guns, targeting the process general's office according to local officials. they're the prosecutor general and he's killed in the blasio but no of the casualties have been reported. so far, investigators have opened a criminal case into the incident but the kafka now where kiev law suite

reportedly started to hunt for those deemed to betray to private data belonging to people seen as quotes. collaborators was posted on telegram along with calls for violence against them. ortiz, elephant drinker gives us more. last week saw dramatic changes on the ukraine. chessboard washing force is positioned in parts of the heart of region were sent south to help on the battlefield. in dawn 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 and 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 the raiders. when the russian troops moved in february, this year,

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 any one who chose option 3 could automatically become a traitor and the view of ukraine's military. and that's possibly an open road to abduction or even death. the hunt for traitors is on full throttle. much of it is being done through the telegram messenger app. you creating nationalists create telegram channels where they publish the personal data of so called enemies a view grade. now what about the criteria? well, it seems that it's up for anyone 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 the

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 will need to save the child from such excellent parents. some have been so alarmed by the hailstorm of controversial telegram posts. they launched a petition on changed 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. the vocal was, it wasn't very nice that we had on it by the numerous reports of the so called filtration activities carried out by the plan in security services and alms, neo nazi formations in the territories level by the allies. part of their regrouping people are affected by this. frightening to imagine what the cleaning armed forces are doing to them well, was almost talking about these people being killed. these issue the saddest thing is that even when innocent people are suffering from shelling or missile attacks, there are still under threat by neo nazis at checkpoints. and on telegram, a high stakes meeting has taken place in washington, where the south african presidents ask joe biden, not to penalize african countries for having russia as

a partner. ortiz corolla. the outlet 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 then to do his africa, biddy everyone's up to by 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 shifts 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 entice from apartment 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, the country's scribbling power cards 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 dollar pledge of loans and grants it last year's un conference on climate change to help south africa dump is the reliance on coal that the drop in the ocean compared to the $250000000000.00 that research as estimate the country will need to invest in the next 10 years. the whole industry accounts were more than 5 percent above. because g d p an employee's over 120000 people. but while the country is being pushed to ditch fossil fuels, european import of south african 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 tom, 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 europe here 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 friends, a partner, and accommodate that supported the during the liberation movement in time of colonialism. and if 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 joining those know live is professor people say pay the deputy vice

chancellor at the university of zealand. welcome to r t. good morning, morning. well, the south officers president has told joe biden, that africa shouldn't be penalized for it ties with russia. do you expect the us to take this on board? yeah, i think the usa has put it differently. that you have say, a foreign policy. it's always about the permanent interest, and it's an incentive about influence and big opinion daddy just feel it super paula. we do one way or another though you do have china. you have. yeah. you have it was we have books. ethan connect. ready but did they idea you said, how can you influence? i've got a bunch of action and they, the us find in there are a person who is probably a client and even listen to them up was i when he speaks, he's a person who's always indecisive,

who is always on the fence. but what he's very clear about for the resolution is up is of, of the guys to give it a view that the russia ease and has always been a pop now. and that is a level income ratio was or is there or more scores or is then during the years of a putting to on the u. s. was not on the side of the but one muscle to indicate that day when i didn't was in senate, he chair from a policy committee that they dealt with a issues like a party and he was on the federal. some of the guy is one of those who posted the idea of a section against logic, but that position makes it easier for him to remind us about there. i'm also a friend by day i'm up with on. he's facing election in december and the position of the african initial holder is that did the,

some of the i would not participate in the war. that is as little do with them where they think the meal benefit. but also they would not want it until an ice russia given its historical role. but the meeting is really about a trying to nudge. if i've got to what's being favorable to pollution, something this is taken into athletics. i was wanting your south africa as others long running ties way back to the soviet union. um, do you see the thing, the u. s. c's, growing chinese influence and south africa's relationship with russia as a threat to it's had gemini and it's, it's political dominance. there's no doubt i'm in the meetings like i see the issue with the us and of course it should be with all our countries is their own interest. and the u. s. has a notion argument, influence in the world politics and you have

a parties all nations that could be in place and be pushed into being part of the usa into the us. or we're not testing to take that position. and this is what it is doing. and also of course, they also tried to entice post position where he could explain for the last 4 years is that the and there will be investment in you have to have the number of the investment conferences and then you have a way of food delivery. so these say almost enticing you with their money for transition from who is something that i'm of course i will come back and that was successful as the kids that did you did on fortunately that day. so i probably got is being cottage to the foster will of the coon, why do you look in countries that given us money,

making sure that they get caught up so that we go to show that dig in the security seat suddenly appears to be a lot of hypocrisy, the u. s. as obviously led the way and imposing a whole raft of sanctions on russia over the war in ukraine. what role do you think the functions are playing in african countries? and what so stunt did they take on the role of sanctions against russia? obviously, south africa, many african countries have refused to condemn join the us on the west in condemning russia and the war ukraine. well, i almost if, when you see it okay, say no master constance's. you have a dispatcher will get the perfect. i'll figure and this is the chemist. i didn't put it on the table that did for your supplicate. they are these

material consequences. and there's also consequences that we as the western right, take your d as africa and do you need us? you are whether they just need to move into a position. i don't think because he's sweet enough to watch movie that originally . well, see post a deputy vice chancellor of the university zealand. absolute pleasure. talking few date today here on nazi. thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. the russian president vladimir putin has blamed the west for its energy crisis, calling for functions on the north stream to gasp pipelines to be lifted. you made those comments, the sun high corporation organization, so it's in the back, it's done at the she didn't, there was another attempt to shift a headache from a sick person to a healthy one. the energy crisis in europe did not start with the beginning of the special military operation in the crane much earlier. the green agenda,

national fabulous statement show that someone is to blame or only to secure protection against the outreach citizens of their own country. and that the problem does not provide gaffe or you people at all normal. and if it's so urgent, if everything is so difficult, then remove all the sanctions from north to join the summit, letting the fruits and also met to turkish council thought red ship one. and the thoughts led to an agreement that 25 percent of russian guests applies to turkey would be paid for in rubles boots in also referred ukraine as a tool of western powers to fight russia and cold russian indian relations are quote, particularly privileged strategic partnership. earlier we got reaction from international economist martin a armstrong, you things that the west sanctions on russia are bringing an end to globalization. the problem with the whole sanctions is that it does affect many more areas and just grows, taking the, the gas and paying it rubles,

is effectively what they have done is they have divided the world economy into i don't see the world economy going back to the way it used to be, i mean this is the new world order, so to speak, it only hurts so many other people and you're finding inflation is going to continue to rise in to 2024. i think next year is going to be even worse. and i have never seen a group of most incompetent world leaders in the west. there doesn't seem to be anybody out there that actually has a clue as to what's going on themselves. and they're just reading q cards and taking advice from people behind the scenes. they're actually creating, i would say the end of globalization, and it is the green agenda that is probably causing most of the problem. but, you know, they, they're using the, the sanctions in russia as the excuse for right now. america will not save

europeans from freezing this winter. thus, as the heads of u. s. shale companies whose results is could help alleviate the energy crisis in the u. a said that they are in no hurry to increase exports, asi, contributed rachel moss, and has more details. the e u 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 math, 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 higher massively and then come to appeal to the state because they can't pay the energy bills to pay in place

of the communities that compose a 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 of things like city run, amenities, skating rinks, library, swimming pools, all because the government won't help them out. how are citizens supposed to know if their local governments are to corrupt for french government crisis funding? can they just go to city hall and ask 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 to tear society with mandates required for access to davy life. and then they did an about face and demanded job passes to access every day venues. again,

we're starting to see the possibility emerge of a to tear society in 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 met also said that the crisis will cost paris $16000000000.00 euros to cap energy bills, french prime minister, and he's about belanger, 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 bail out 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 europe to develop an energy crisis on support for keith von to land says 10 in with the crane comes to high cost with our freedom, the international piece order, and democracies. priceless. that's precisely the kind of remark from this, an elected official that shows just how disconnected the e u bullet 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. the energy crisis is gaining pace across europe,

triggering protests by restaurants and coffee owners on the italian island of sicily. in these images, you can see restaurants, customers being forced to eat by candle lights, as owners struggling to cope with soaring energy prices have turned off their lives this week to send a message to the government. many also putting their gas and electricity bills on public display. but we spoke with some restaurant owners who have described their situation as desperate l. nashville, tennessee, grandma, 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. the last electricity bill in august was 26000 euros. if, while last year we paid 6000 euros with the same consumption equal where i saw that the c l moment. and what is happening in italy is shameful, though it is absurd, they may arch, in my opinion, they are speculating on the citizens. we have reached a point where we really don't know what to do. thanks if we can't get out of this tunnel of chrysler, lamenting with companies will get more and more to everybody. there is

a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout each level. draw a last gig. it's yona request start spin. obviously, in my opinion, there is a lot of speculation on the increase in electricity and even the energy that comes from renewable sources is increasing by 400 percent. it is inexplicable. what is happening going forward like this machine? citizens retired people. yes, it says will go towards bankruptcy. there are no alternatives still. well, look at palmetto angel, you're lame perez and protests over the consequences of the energy crisis. i've also taken place in the e u countries. hundreds of people in germany have been demonstrating against price hikes, demanding new elections, and an end to alms deliveries to ukraine. demonstrates is organized a mode to rally with over $200.00 vehicles to take him part. lectures to ices are soaring, following russia's decision to stop gas supplies through the nordstrom pipeline. the move came amid a dispute over turbine rippers ahead of the crucial winter heating season. meanwhile, demonstrates is also gathered in athens,

marching towards the ministry of finance, chanting slogans and carrying banners. they say that pensions have been fixed for a long time, and living costs are soaring. students are also not happy about police being posted at universities. an unprecedented reports retraction. has occurred in the field of environmental protection science that's after n g o has publicly apologize for misleading reports that blamed agent states for plastic pollution or the green organizations have welcome the apology. this unprecedented report retraction as an opportunity to interrupt decades of waste colonialism. ocean conservancy is in a position to raise awareness among other organizations and policy makers about the fast narrative propagated by the report. in 2015, the u. s. based environmental advocacy group, ocean conservancy published a report that blamed 5 asian countries responsible for most of the world's plastic

pollution. however, in 2022, the n g o change disposition. now saying that corporations were responsible for producing and selling increasing amounts of plastic. earlier we spoke with political analysts, alessandro bruno, who thinks that most environmental problems are caused by the west. developing countries have been processing the waste of the west for decades in all kinds of thing. for example, shit are dismantled and bangladesh and india huge. this man, colors and recyclers of old ships and for scrap metal china and to some extent other countries like vietnam and, and the few others decided to stop importing western plastic waste and other waste. and this caused has huge problem in western countries that have

had to revert back to landfills and in some cases, reluctantly to incineration and other issues. but i think the big problem, or the overlying problem is that many environmental issues are approached 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 solutions. and so the care gets done gets done the border now where classes have left to people dead, including a 15 year old girl. and 87 more people wounded us according to the caregiver health ministry. on friday evening, a truce came into play when the 2 countries agreed to try and stop provocations on shootings in the border area. however, earlier this morning,

saturday cougar's down cleaner tajikistan had violated the agreements firing shells at the settlement. local reporters all feared sort of gone over reports from the ground to them in. aw sharon, i'm on that i'm on. can you? i'm currently in the city of vash. because our crew could not get to the back, can broad of each and were gone. fighting continual, what they're kind of shy, had me all back in highway is temporarily blocked. i was using shallow in the rest built area under up the service forces. i'm not allowing cars and people to pastor, so we had to turn battle, you know, at the moment, residents of all the regions per gustavo, are not allowed to enter the territory of back. can officials say the death at all has reached 44 people. i tried, i do our civilian victims to, to the doors. i am a 15 year old girl that was killed in the back can region in delilah district in the village of destiny when she was hit by fragments of a shout. you're not, but she was wounded, tearing the shelling when she and her fellow villagers, rod towards the village of my gloom that the young girl died as

a result of her injuries. and her body was very day. so lunch took out of her gustavo, into chicken's done authorities just agree to see spar which started at 4 pm, but soldiers from the cheapest on breach the truth and open fire again. oh wonderful. i will well hope he weakens off to a great start. my name is peter scotts and i'll be back again in 30 minutes. but do stay tuned for more grade programs. they are not international with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on of very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very political time to sit down and talk a . busy national z and knowing that she's shyly yours is when you buy when you sit
