the toner, so i can those up the middle of the said see the same it about them. i was a sudden into that a fear among the park of resident says ukrainian nationalists reportedly begin hunting down suspected collaborators following last week's withdrawal of russian with . that's the message from the south africa's president to the west, as washington prepared to implement a new act that would punish african countries for cooperating with russia. a gas opened in order to bring to president vladimir putin called for sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted, saying russia has nothing to do with europe's energy prices

with just after 11 am here in russia's capital and you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we start this news hour with the latest developments in ukraine, where battles continue for the city of cooper. johnson in the heart of region. ukraine previously announced that it had taken complete control of the city report say, fighting is ongoing, and russian troops continue to hold defensive lines along the all school river which runs through the settlement. the center of her son has also been shelled by ukrainian troops. local russian back authorities claim 5 us supplied high marce rockets were fired at the office of the hershawn administration during a meeting between local officials through people were reported killed. and 13 wounded advisor to the ukrainian president's office has describes the attacks as

quote, legitimate referring to those murdered as quote, military targets and nothing more. and explosion has also been reported in lugens targeting the pros, prosecutor general's office, according to local officials, the prosecutor general and his deputy were killed in the blast. no other casualties have been reported so far, but russian investigators have opened a criminal case into the and now back to clark of where kiev is reportedly on the hunt for those it deems traitors. private data belonging to people considered to be quote, collaborators has been posted on telegram along with calls for violence against them. elite but drank 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 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 and 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're creating nationalists create telegram channels, where they publish the personal data of so called enemies a view. great. 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. telegram 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 a chance after the liberation, we'll need to save the child from such excellent parents. some have been so alarmed 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 murders, 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 wasn't, you know, we had armed by the numerous reports of the so called filtration activities carried out by the clean in security services and alms neo nazi formations and the territories left by the allied forces. as part of their regrouping thousands of

people are affected by this. it is frightening to imagine what the queen in armed forces are doing to them now with 1st and foremost talking about these people being killed. 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, high stakes meeting has taken place in washington during which south africa as president stated that any effort to punish african countries for their relationships with russia would marginalize the continent. leave, express our discomfort and our opposition to it. we do believe that in the end, if it is past, it will identify those countries in africa that have some relationship or so with russia, it could be a trade one, it could be an investment one, it could be a,

an economic one. and we do believe that that could be punishing type of act. i think it will harm africa. drew merchant, eliza continent. the act which the south african president is referring to is aimed at, quote, countering malign russian activity in africa. if introduced it would c, washington seek to control moscow's many relations with the continent from trade to military ortiz curveball. the toddler takes us through pretoria and washington's rocky relationship with the united states and south africa are coming together again. yet there won't views could not be any further upon. this is the 2nd high level meeting between the 2 countries. preceded by u. s. secretary of state anthony blanket, his visit here on the continent last month. hes you as president joe biden found in south africa, leda settled on one plaza, a man to do is africa bidding. every one's are up to by favor and that africa with

54 countries, massive voting power in the united nations. more, less split were south africa was neutral. a few countries formerly opposed a 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, the 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 for the 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 the point place here on the continent. the u. s. is expected to entice, i'm opposed with increased investment and trade, a global public to neutralize the briggs 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, the economy, while the americans and the european continue to pressure south africa to the green energy sauces. i'm a point that any cabinet have not entirely turned their back a new to 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. if the reliance on code 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 for more than 5 percent above because g d p, an employee is over

a 120000 people. but while the country is being pushed to dish muscle fuels, european inputs 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 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 international atomic energy agency that they wish to pursue nuclear as a future. and that is small modular reactors that 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 coal, mine endeavor, aspiration of fear. but for some, i'm a, was

a political party. the ruling african national congress must go is a friends, 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 a bill if either, john is that for oddity international. we spoke with the deputy vice chancellor at the university of zulu land who thinks that the south african president is visit, will serve as a reminder to the us. it rushes, ties with africa are deep rooted that you have for the policy. it's always about dan and interest and it's an insert is about influence and big. i'm a student id just feel it super paula you. one way or another though you do have china, you have. yeah. you have it. you also have books ever connect you. but did the idea,

you said, how can you twins? i forgot to moving a bunch of beverages and b, u. s. find in there are more pasa, a person who is probably applying for and if you listen to a proposal, when he speaks, he's a person who's always indecisive with what he's on the fence, but what he's very clear about. so the solution is, art is of, of the guys to give it a view that the of russia ease and has always been a pop now. and then it's about ease of level the russia was for is their own. most school is always then during the usable party do, and the u. s. was not on the side over in other news, russian president vladimir putin has blamed the west for its energy crisis, calling for sanctions on the north stream to gas pipeline, to be lifted. he made the same comments at the shanghai cooperation organization summit, and it was pakistan. if you didn't, they are. but this is 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 ukraine, but much earlier with the green agenda populous statements that someone is to blame or only to secure protection against the outrage citizens of their own countries. gas problem does not provide gas r u people at all normal, if it's so urgent, if everything is so difficult, then remove all the sanctions from nordstrom to foot, and also referred to ukraine as a tool of western powers to fight russia and described russian indian relations as quote, a particularly privileged strategic partnership, you can get more on the key points from the russian president speech on our website, r t dot com. now the summit also focused on promoting a more multi polar world and saw latimer meet with many other world leaders, including his turkish counterpart. president are the one talks between the 2 lead to an agreement that we'll see 25 percent of russian gas supplies to turkey. paid

for in roubles earlier, we heard from an india based foreign policy expert who says that no countries should be blacklisted from well intentioned efforts to resolve the global food crisis. conflict has to be sol to amicably and it should be solved in a peaceful way. so back to, you know, like i'm, and no one feels heartened on no one feels blacklisted on one. let me as but for security and the whole crisis as a very important issue, it was a very confounding issue. not going to be rushed off. are you all part of ukraine issue which come from a whole was honorable crime and is to be raised up the issue of you know, the problem in relation to supply chain in relation to food security as thoughts and in relation to the fuller means of solving the problem,

and i think all the international organizations, whether it is shanghai corporation, whether be the united nation, anyone who's that's been flawed or faltering on non hon time minnesota. on the had mentioned about all we had one for general grant. he had once again re ram. he met on the inside line spent time in this conflict, need to be false peacefully, non precedent, also mentioned to be honorable prime minister of india. russia on the spencer comes on up in the very last but you know, all the important countries together in your role in solving all gone all being on boxing and issues. i personally issue in relation to g, l, l, in relation to be in relation to capitalism and in relation to america will not save europeans from freezing this winter as the heads of us shale

companies say they're in no hurry to increase exports. artie contributor rachel marston has more on the story. 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 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 hired 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 composed 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 they're 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 to tear 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 map also said that the crisis will cost paris $16000000000.00 euros to cap energy bills. french prime minister and he's of at belma, 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 larger 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 your abs developed an 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. energy crisis is worsening across europe, provoking restaurant and cafe owners on the italian island of sicily to protest. says here you can see restaurant customers being forced to eat by candle light as

owners struggle to cope with soaring energy prices and turn off their lights this week as a message to the government. many are also putting their gas and electricity bills on public display and art even spoke with restaurant owners who described their situation as desperate and well nashville, tennessee, that i am on the increasing electricity costs is destroying us in a period in which we should save money waiting for the winter where there is little work, we do not really know how to pay the bills. the last electricity bill in august was 26000 euros. while last year we paid $6000.00 euros with the same consumption. we're also going to see, oh moment and what is happening in italy is shameful. it is absurd, me, in my opinion, they are speculating on the citizens. we have reached a point where we really don't know what to do and we can't get out of this tunnel of crisis making companies will get more and more debt. so you think there is a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout italy. a last year got steel now was thought spin out of houston, 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? citizens retired people, businesses will go towards bankruptcy. there are no alternatives. so i think on gary and prime minister has slammed e u countries for their sanctions against russia. stressing that the policy would not and well for europe was on one on because any of you, when i look at these energy sanctions, i realized that we are energy midgets, and we impose sanctions on an energy giant. it's an unusual situation in history and such action, i think, cannot lead to a good ending of the p and union continues to ignore member states claims that the sanctions are having an adverse effect protests against an energy crisis. an outcome of the embargo have taken place across the u. hundreds of people in germany have gathered to demonstrate against price heights demanding new elections, and the new and an end to arms deliveries to frame. demonstrators organized

a motor rally with over $200.00 cars, taking part electricity prices are soaring, following rushes decision to stop gas supplies through the nord stream pipelines that move came amid a dispute over turbine repairs ahead of the crucial winter heating season. demonstrators also came together in athens, marching towards the ministry of finance chain chanting slogans and carrying banners. they say pensions have been fixed for a long time, and living costs are soaring. students are also not happy about police being posted at universities. in other news, united states global dominance could be coming to an end, at least that's according to a new poll in which 50 percent of americans said they believe the u. s. will no longer be a superpower within the new decade. the next decade, rather, the poll comes in the wake of a joint statement between president vladimir putin and his chinese counterpart in

which they stress, the cooperation between the 2 global powers is on the rise. moscow has announced it could replace the defunct nord stream to pipeline set up to ship gas to europe with a new line going east. the russian deputy prime minister has said that the power of siberia to pipeline will deliver gas from russia to china. a growing gas consumer via mongolia, minnesota. she doesn't have anything leaking. meanwhile, ran and rush hour, also strengthening relations and security and energy. walter ron has signed up to full membership of read the regional power house, the shanghai cooperation organization. we spoke with the ceo of the national iranian oil company and he says the 2 countries are moving ahead with various joint ventures a month taken, mclennan, i think 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 oh, should use logical approaches in energy disputes. currently we have 7 oil reserve wars and 7 contracts worth $4000000000.00 with various russian companies. we are also conducting negotiations included on the further development of several new oil and gas reserve wars, and on investments in ellen jeep. we have affordable in agreement with gas prom. we have discussed exchanging our experiences in gas and oil refinery technologies. and we have reached an understanding on these agreements. i think we will be able to achieve positive results concerning investments, especially in the implementation of projects in the fields of energy, oil and gas refineries. rushing, the reading corporation is now on a good path of development. and has its own prospect. we go now to the border between cargo stan and to jacob. stan were hopes of an end to 3 days of violence were dashed this morning by new armed glasses. kirk stands, health ministry has said that the hostilities have now left 24 people dead and

a 103 others wounded. while 3 people are understood to have been killed in tajikistan, 136000 civilians have been evacuated from the conflict zone. earlier saturday morning, kurdistan claimed its neighbor had violated an overnight peace agreement by firing shells at a settlement. latest skirmishes have renewed fears of a full scale war between the 2 countries. back in 2021. clashes on the border, lead to the deaths of 55 people. an unprecedented report, retraction has occurred in the field of environmental protection science as an angio has publicly apologized for misleading report that wrongly blamed asian states for plastic pollution other green organizations. welcome this 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 policymakers about the

false narrative propagated by the report. in 2015, the u. s. based environmental advocacy group, ocean conservancy published a report that blamed 5 asian countries for most of the worlds. plastic waste pollution, however fast forward to 2022, and then geo has changed its position. now saying that corporations were responsible for producing and selling increasing amounts of plastic. we spoke with political analysts, our sondra, bruno, who thinks that most environmental problems are caused by the west. developing countries have been processing the waste of the west for the decade in all kinds of thing. for example, ships 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

a few others decided to stop importing western plastic waste and other waste. and this caused a huge problem in western countries that has 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 this responsibility of the west at the, in the background. and this causes to search, not for solutions but only for certain type of solution. that's the news for this hour, but we'll be back with more in just about 30 minutes, so stay with

ah ah ah

ah ah, the republic of moldova ranks is one of the poorest countries in europe. oh, if it goes with dust or bunker? no, it should my good, i'm all the individual 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. la garza, we've got drugs up. bowen, i'm old old america with the economy, revolves around agriculture over children, when you're not supposed to pamela, what the report is, probably comalla was there professionally, probably around their primary cost is still awkward, pursuing kids,

lia presley's old, freshest lineup. bellanca marcy guessing at a 1000 thoughts edison got out of doors, utter viagra, rochelle wallace, did you get a buddy? herb unemployment is off the charts. moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty are we respect the country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. and the u is constantly rocked by political and corruption scandals. wow. but all that didn't stop mold over obtaining e u candidate status in 2022. and revisiting the possibility of re unification with romania into public. it may do the borders emerged as a result of the ussr being dissolved, fabricate partially or group.
