they have large population and they're saying that is a different part of the thing. i look at a different grouping with fear among the hark. of resident says ukrainian nationalists reportedly begin hunting down suspected collaborators following last week's withdrawal of russian lead force. we do believe that with punishing type i think it will come up with marginalized and that's the message from south africa. presidents after meeting with joe biden, has washington prepares new legislation was punished, african countries for cooperating with if you want gas open nor string to

president vladimir putin calls for sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted. saying russia has nothing to do with your energy prices with just afternoon here in moscow, and you're watching r t international. i'm donald quarter. welcome to the program. and we start this news hour with the latest developments from ukraine where battles continue for the city of coop. ganske in the cock of region. ukraine previously announced that it had taken complete control of the city, but report say, fighting is ongoing and russian troops continue to hold defensive lines along the all skull river which runs through the settlement. the center of her song has also been shelled by ukrainian troops and local russian backed authorities claimed 5 us supplied. highmore rockets were fired at the office of the her phone administration . during a meeting between local officials, 3 people are reported killed, and 13 wounded. an advisor to the ukrainian president's office has described 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 prosecutor general's office. according to local officials, the prosecutor general and his deputy were killed in the blast. no of our casualties have been reported so far, but russian investigators have opened a criminal case into the incident. and now we go back to harko, where kiev is reportedly on the hunt. for those it deems traitors, private data belonging to people considered to be quote, collaborators have been posted on telegram along with calls for violence against them. nearly katrinka 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 dawn bass, this lock 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 traitors is on full throttle. much of it is

being done through the telegram messenger app. you're creating national creat 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 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 a 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 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. somebody will go ahead and eventually sniff. we are alarmed by the numerous reports of the so called filtration activities carried out by the clean, insecurity services and alms, neo nazi formations in 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 quine and 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. in other news, a high stakes meeting has taken place in washington, during which south africa's president stated, but any effort to punish african countries for their relationships with russia would marginalize the continent leave, express our discomfort and our position 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 was 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 artes karbala topler takes us through pretoria and washington's rocky relationship. 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 african leda settled. i'm a plaza, a man to do his africa, biddy, everyone'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 and the un, 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 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 the point race here on the continent. the u. s. is expected to entice, i'm opposed with increased investment and trade a global powerfully to neutralize the bricks and russian influence on the continent . but power is 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 up with any cabinet have not entirely turned back a new to the west and i was an 8500000000 dollar pledge of loans and grants. last year as you and conference on climate change to help south africa dump is reliance 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 for more than 5 percent because g d p, an employee is over

a 120000 people. but while the country is being pushed to ditch was fuels, european import of south african codes were 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 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 relations can be poised out of one endeavor, aspiration of fear. but for some, i'm

a, was a political party. the ruling african national congress must book is a friend, a partner in crime rate that supported the during the liberation movements in time of colonialism. and its paula has continued to intensify south africa. more and more, moscow seems like part of the solution. got a bill, it's. john is back for oddity international. we spoke with a deputy vice chancellor at the university of zulu land who thinks that the south african president visit will serve as a reminder to the u. s. it rushes ties with africa are deep seated. the you have the, it's always about coming in interest and need them and insert it's about influence . and i'm assuming you feel super paula you one way or another though you do have try and you have you have it. you also have every collect. ready but did they, i how can you was up to go to the beverage and, and they,

us find more posts or a person who is probably climb. and the, if you listen to it was when he speaks, he's a person who always was 40 on the fence, but what he's very clear about. so the solution is, is guys to get a view that the of russia ease and has always been papa. and this is a level that she was always there. most schools only during the years will be putting to and the us was not going to try it 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. you made these comments at the shanghai cooperation organization summit and it was becca stan, 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 crane as a tool of western powers to fight russia and described the russian indian relations as a quote, particularly privileged strategic partnership. you can get more on the key points from the russian president speech on our website, r t dot com. and the summit also focused on promoting a more multi polar world and saw, let me put and meet with many other world leaders, including is turkish counterpart. president ern one talks between the 2 lead to an agreement that we'll see 25 percent of russian gas supplies to turkey paid for in

rules. we heard from an india based foreign policy expert who says that no country should be blacklisted from well intentioned efforts to resolve the global food crisis. conflict has to be solved to amicably, and it should be solved in a peaceful way so that you know, like i'm and no one feels disheartened. don't, don't want to feel blacklisted on the one. let me as but for security and the whole crisis is not very important issue, it is the very confounding issue not going to be part of our europe or for ukraine is the issue which can hold one of the honorable crime and is to be raised not the issue of, you know, of the problem in relation to supply chain, in relation to food security as thoughts and in relation to full means of solving the problem. and i think all the international organizations,

whether it is shanghai corporation, whether the united nation, anyone who's that's been waterboard or solving on non hon prime minister, i'll talk on the had mentioned about all at once, the general grant he had to run secondary when he met on the inside line, spare time in this conflict needs to be false, fully, non at a precedent also mentioned to be honorable prime minister of india that russia on the spence that comes on. so be our very last part, you know, all the important countries together to, in the role in solving all on all on fox and issues. i'm personally issues in relation to g, l, l, in relation to g, b in relation to capitalism, and in relation to america looks unlikely to save your opinions from freezing this winter. as the heads of us shale companies say they're in no hurry to increase

exports are t contributor rachel marston has more on that 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 are 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 manage 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 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 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 pass is 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 lemaire. 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 electric, 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 queue that 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 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. bourgeoisie 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 worsening across europe, provoking restaurant and cafe owners on the italian island of sicily to protest. here you can see restaurant customers being forced to eat by candlelight, 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, or to even got the opportunity to speak with restaurant owners who described their situation as desperate and well nashville, tennessee, grandma, the increase in electricity costs is destroying us quite 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. banking companies will get more and more debts. do you think there is a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout italy? a loss gets yona 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. he actually found gary in prime minister, has slammed you countries for their sanctions against russia. stressing that the policy would not end well for europe. i was on when i was an area, when i look at these energy sanctions, i realize 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 while the you countries to a continues to the you continues to ignore. member states claims that the sanctions are having an adverse effect protests against an energy crisis and outcome of the embargo have taken place across the european union. hundreds of people in germany have gathered to demonstrate against price hikes, demanding new elections, and an end to arms deliveries to ukraine. demonstrators organized

a motor rally with over $200.00 cars, taking part electricity prices are soaring, falling rushes decision to stop gas supplies through the nord stream pipeline 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 might ministry of finance, 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. united states global dominance could be coming to an end that's according to a new poll in which 50 percent of americans said they believed that the u. s. will no longer be a superpower. within the next decade, the poll comes in the wake of a joint statement between president vladimir putin and his chinese counterpart in which they dress, that cooperation between the 2 global powers is on the rise. moscow has announced

a could replace the deformed nord stream to pipeline set up to ship a 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 when she comes to. so what does it look like, you know, you. meanwhile, around in russia are also strengthening relations and security and energy. walter ron has signed up for full membership of the regional power house, the shanghai cooperation organization. we spoke with the ceo of the national iranian oil company, and he says that 2 countries are moving forward with various joint ventures. a month ago going on, i think you repeat 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 wars and 7 contracts worth $4000000000.00 with various russian companies were also conduct negotiations, including on the further development of several new oil and gas reservoirs and on investments. in ellen g, we have a 40 bill in agreement with gas problem. we have discussed exchanging our experiences and gas and all refinery technologies. and we have reached an understanding on these agreements and 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. russian, the reading cooperation is now on a good path of development and has its own prospect. we go now to the border between kurdistan and to jacob's den where hopes of an end to 3 days of violence were dashed this morning by new armed questions. kurdistan health ministry says that the health still of these have now left 24 people dead and

a 103 others wounded. all 3 people are understood to have been killed into just 1136000 civilians have been evacuated from the conflict zone and earlier saturday morning. kirk is stand claimed its neighbor had violated an overnight peace agreement by firing shells at the latest skirmishes have renewed fears of a full scale war between the 2 countries. in 2021 classes 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, 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 is 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

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 the video changed its position now saying the corporations were responsible for producing and selling increasing amounts of plastic. we spoke with political analyst, alessandra 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 things. 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 the few others decided to stop importing

western plastic waste and other waste. and this caused has 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 approach these days . not practically, but ideologically, there's always the shadow of climate change and always the responsibility of the west and at the, in the background. and this causes the search, not for solutions, but only for certain type of solutions. that's the news for this. our stick around for more and just about 30 minutes here on our international the

ah. ah no one? no, sir, no, no, admiral hook, no, no. what dole, more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was

a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. real, you know, to production issue or she's got a keynote. good on. you saw new rochelle keep on moon monica. she no longer thought this meant new again from all one of up. i'm new i'm, i got to learn much sale. i mean, i go on undersold. i wish to know about julie. whoa, whoa, knew he didn't or guzzle more? pushed in a jr. let's i had to put the with this kind of them mother and all up buddy bill
