ah, obama protects its own existence with our fear among harko resident, it says ukrainian nationalists reportedly begin hunting down suspected collaborators following last week's withdrawal of russian lead forces. we do believe that this could be an issue. i think it was a group marginalized according to the that's the message from south africa, president after meeting with joe biden, as washington prepares new legislation that would punish african countries for cooperating with russia. if you want gas open nord stream to lot of mere potent calls for sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted. say russia has nothing to do with

europe's energy with just after 1 pm here in moscow when you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. and we start this news hour with the latest developments from dun boss where ukrainian forces have been firing heavy artillery into the center of the city of dun yeske. smoke has been billowing up from the downtown, amid the devastation caused by at least a dozen artillery shells fired by the ukrainian military. that's according to local officials. a central administrative building was targeted in the attacks. 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. and now where the casualties have so far been reported. but russian investigators have opened

a criminal case into the incident. the center of the song has also been shown by ukrainian troops. local russian backed authorities claim 5, u. s. supplied high mark rockets were fired at the office of the hearse on administration. during a meeting between local officials for people are reportedly killed and 12 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 now to the front as battles continue and ukraine's north eastern clark of region including areas in and around the key city of coupons. ukraine previously announced that it had taken complete control of the city. that report say, fighting is ongoing, and russian troops continue to hold defensive lines along the all school river which runs through the settlement. elsewhere in the, in the same region. key z forces are reportedly on the hunt for those it deems

traitors as private data. people consider to be collaborators has been posted on telegram, along with calls for violence against them. ortiz lead. katrinka reports 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 bath, 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, mall of those rooms and not only with a forced to leave their homes. but now i'm well aware that not everyone was able to get out and they will now be repressed. ukrainian not cease will not quit attempting to filter the population population as they so claim the ukrainian people,

which they say is not like the russian people. or the question then is why do they exterminate there and people ukrainians just like they do the russians? 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 and poverty. the fear today is that pretty much any one 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 hon for traders is on full throttle. much of it is being done through the telegram messenger app, you creating national creat telegram channels where they publish the personal data of so called enemies 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 coupons has been liberated. now we are beginning the search for traitors. all the addresses are already there. be, are adding a category called the occupants collaborators. these are those who helped the occupants build, checkpoints, feed them, and so on. these are the fanatics, if the brush and weld 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 hailstorm 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. extrajudicial 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 washing 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 as a witness that she's dyslexia and armed by the numerous improvements of the so called filtration activities, carried out by the crane insecurity services and on neo nazi formations in the territories left by the allied forces as part of their regrouping. if thousands of people are affected by this 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 shoot. 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 ah, moving now to washington were

a high stakes meeting has taken place during which south africa's president stated that any effort to punish african countries for the relationships with russia would marginalize the continent. we've express our discomfort and our a position to it. we do believe that in the end, if it is passed it through, 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, or i think it was hom, africa, drew merchant, eliza continent. the act that the south african presidency is referring to there is aimed at quote, countering malign russian activity in africa. if introduced,

it would see washington seek to control moscow's many relations with the continent from trade to military. r t is carbo topler, takes us through poetry, and washington's rocky relationship with 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 countries. preceded by us secretary of saint anthony blinking his visit here on the continent. last month. has you as president joe biden found in south africa? leda 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 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,

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, i'm opposed with increased investment and trade. a global public to neutralize the bricks and russian influence on the continent. but power is exactly what south africa needs right now. the country's 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. so i'm up with that and his cabinet have not entirely turned back a new to the west and i was an $8500000000.00 pledge of loans and grants it 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 research has estimate the country will need to invest in the next 10 years. the whole industry council more than 5 percent because g p, an employees 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 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 that fit 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. a endeavor, aspiration, all 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 movement in time of colonialism. and it's paula cuts continue to intensify south africa. more and more, most school seems like part of the solution. got a bill, it's john is back for intentional. we heard from of south african political

commentator who says the biden administration is trying to subjugate the african continent with threats to punish the countries for their ties with russian by didn't explained to you and discipline. so that's again government to make it to delight, to much more on the side of the natural address. the americans are concerned about the new the globe. well, joe political, elena zation, which is lead better action for the nation, including china. then that this, that leaves that africa will dance to adela june. the americans are playing. we are fairly happy that this has not been the general response of the african people in african states are now russian president, vladimir putin has blamed the west for its energy crisis,

calling for sanctions on the north stream. 2 gas pipeline to be lifted. he made these comments at the shanghai cooperation organization summit in those beckers, dan, if you didn't, they are well, 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 put, and also referred to you crane as a tool of western powers to fight russia and described relations between india and russia. as quote, a particularly privileged strategic partnership, you can get more on the key points from the russian president speech on our website . the r t dot com summit also focused on promoting

a more multi polar world and saw putting meet with many other world leaders, including his turkish counterpart. president ern one talks between the 2 leaders lead to an agreement that we'll see 25 percent of russian gas supplies to turkey paid for in roubles. we heard from an india based foreign policy expert who says, no country should be blacklisted from well intentioned efforts to resolve the global food crisis. this conflict has to be thought to amicably and it should be thought of in a peaceful way so that you know, like, i mean, no one really disheartening on. no one feel blacklisted on 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 rushed off. are you off or ukraine? but if your issue which concerns a whole was honorable crime is to be raised, not the issue of you know,

the problem in relation to supply chain in relation to food security s thoughts and in relation to fuller means of solving the problem. and i think all the international organizations, rather it is shanghai corporation by the united nation. anyone who's that's been water board was following the plate. non hon prime minister, i'll talk on the had mentioned about all we had one general targeted over and he had to once again, re, it ran, he met on the inside lines that time in this conflict needs to be false, fully, non, at a precedent also mentioned to be honorable prime minister of india, russia on the sense that comes on something very bad lead, but you know, all the important countries together in the role involving all gone all on boxing and issues. i'm professionally issues in relation to g, l, l,

in relation to be in relation to capitalism and in relation to in other news, america will likely not save europeans from freezing this winter. as the heads of us shale companies say they're in no hurry to increase exports. archie, contributor miss rachel marston has the 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 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 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, rink, library swimming pools, all because the government will 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 job 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 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 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 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 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. bulls 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

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 storing 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. art even got the opportunity to speak with restaurant owners who described their situation as desperate and well nashville, tennessee, that i am on the increasing 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, yet 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. bank companies will get more and more debt. if there is

a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout italy dollar a last year got shown air quiz thought spin, fabulous. 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 why look for methane gene? all truly on gary and prime minister has slammed e u countries for their sanctions against russia. stressing that the policy will not and well for europe of them. when i was envious, 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 or brussels continues to ignore. member states claims that the sanctions are having an adverse effect protests against the energy crisis and outcome of the embargo have taken place across the urban union. hundreds of people

in germany have gathered to demonstrate against price heights, 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, following russia decision to stop gas supplies through the nord stream pipeline, a move that came a made a dispute over turbine repairs ahead of the crucial winter heating season. demonstrators are also coming together in athens, marching towards the 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 very happy about police being posted at universities. in other news, the united states global dominance could be soon coming to an end. that's according to a new poll in which 50 percent of americans believe they 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 russian president vladimir putin and his chinese counterpart in which they dress, that cooperation between those 2 global powers is on the rise. moscow has announced it could replace the deformed nord stream to pipeline set up to ship gas to europe with a new line going east. a russian deputy prime minister has said that the power of siberia to pipeline will deliver gas from russia to china. a growing gas consumer be among aaliyah when she comes to. so what does it look? meanwhile, around and rush are also strengthening relations and security and energy. walter route has signed up for full membership in the regional power house, the shanghai cooperation organization, the ceo of the national iranian oil company says russia and iran are moving ahead with various joint ventures a month ago. and 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 will go now to central asia on the border of kurdistan into duca. stan were hopes of an end to 3 days of violence were dashed this morning by new armed clashes. kurdistan. health ministry

has said that the hostilities have now left 24 people dead and 121 wounded. all 3 people are understood to have been killed and you can stand. 136000 civilians have been evacuated from the conflict on earlier saturday morning. fergus damn 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 and 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 angio has publicly apologized for a 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 that 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 in india, huge dismantle, is 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, electrically 2 incineration 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 and at the, in the background. and this causes the search, not for solutions, but only for certain type of solutions. thanks for watching our international stick around because we'll be back with more news and just about 30 minutes. ah,

ah ah ah, needs to come to the russian state little narrative. i've stivers on the most landscape div. mm hm. then the king also sat for a coup in 55 with okay, so 92000 speedy. when else with we will ban in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state aunt, rush up to date and split our t spoke neck. even our video agency,

roughly all band to on youtube with the little she did. you did it request with back in 2014, citing the military danger, the ukrainian authorities ordered the evacuation of old children who had lost their parents in don bass. this is denise them got no shaggy timber label quiet on that. i. e una. what if girl or boy's sicilian? you middle meliss, seattle, donna, d. t in nebraska. yeah. bag. do you? yeah. another inca children's ombudsman in the new guns people's republic is
