this message from dawn yet. so some of the victims on the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of selling and 4 hours. local authorities have reported. 4 people were killed and 8 others injured and fragments of french howick. the artillery shells were found at the c. a central administrative building was targeted in the attacks on corresponded there was court under the incoming fire when reporting on location with ukrainian forces resumed their showing on saturday. we can see an injured woman here is getting medical help right now. this is in the city center there have so far been what 6 rounds of shelling and it's currently ongoing. soon with reward from the portion of it we're bummer with

us on the bus is on machine several here with him. in the nearby city of co love, cars shelling by ukrainian forces claimed the lives of 3 people. 11 others were wounded. as, according to the local man who say the kindergarten was among the buildings. hes, an explosion has also been reported in le ganske targeting the prosecutor general's office. according to local officials, a prosecutor general and his deputy were killed in the blast. no other casualties have been reported so far. russian investigators have opened a criminal case into the incidents. a center of the city of cath song has also been shown with my ukrainian troops local russian. back till forties came that 5 us supplied high mars rockets with fire to be office of the castle administration. during a meeting between local officials, for people will reportedly hills and swells with an advisor, the ukrainian president's office at the squad. the tax is quite legitimate. i refer to those killed as quote,

military targets. nothing more was the front line now where bottles continue and ukraine's ne, in hawk of region including areas in and around the key city of kapinsky, where 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 school river which runs through the settlements. while elsewhere in the same region, care forces are reported on the hunt for those it beings traitors as private data, people considered to be quote, collaborators as being posted on telegram along with calls for violence against them. ortiz hipa trying to take a closer look. 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 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 while i was like, you know, totally with a forced to leave their homes now well aware that not everyone was able to get out and they will now be repressed. crania not cease will not quit attempting to filter the population population as they so claim ukrainian people, which they say is not like the russian people. or the question then is why do they exterminate their own people and the ukrainians, just like they do the russian when the russian troops moved in, 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 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 of ukraine. now what about the criteria? well, it seems that it's up for any one to decide. it's reported that even receiving humanitarian aid from russia could cause real trouble. here's some of what we came across on telegraph. the city of coupons has been liberated. now we are beginning to search for traitors. all the addresses are already there. we are adding a category called the occupants collaborators. these are those who help the occupants build checkpoints, feed them, and so on. these are the fanatics of the russian world from less chance. after the liberation,

we will 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 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 motor vehicle was it was interesting that you had on

my the home. so question activities carries out of the plan insecurity to services on neo nazi formation from the territories left by the allies. as part of their regrouping people are affected by this is frightening to imagine what the union armed forces are doing to them now with 1st and foremost talking about these people being killed. these issues 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 ukraine's president landscape found himself in the midst of a control. the 3 of the he post were photo with soldiers, one of whom appears to have been wearing and nazi symbol now seems to be a school symbol used by the nazi as, as notorious for its crimes against humanity during world war 2 is photo with quickly deleted from the landscape social media account following our wage by uses or toys that has a label of sensitive information on links to media reports about it. so lensky was

earlier spotted himself wearing a badge for the depiction of a human skull. the takes that ukraine o death. well, this is certainly not the 1st case with not the symbolism appearing among ukrainian soldiers. the infamous ass off battalion uses a nazi wolf cook. i called on his uniforms and it seems such sentiments on, on the rise elsewhere in europe. what we're showing you now is creation football fans will consider the streets in milan. this week, performing not cecily, that quickly sparks a strong reaction among the public in the streets of milan in 2022 fans of cro soccer club, dena mos zagreb march. with nazi salute, this is what happening in europe today. it's 2022 and this is the level of anti semitism that we are facing in europe dino zagreb fans performing the nazi salute in the streets of milan. enlightened europe today to be more precise yesterday, croatian fans and milan walked around the city on wednesday singing nazi songs and hailing hitler. tell me again, that's these don't exist and the russians are on

a witch hunt wake up. we had some academic and independent journalists, jason michael loose. april 13th in the west. have been more lenient about in the nazi sentiment since the conflicts began. and ukraine has been happening for a while across much of the west of the world. it has been given a fee pass in ukraine because it's seen as a ball work of defense against russia. you know, the, the west of media, which in 2014 was army by the level of nazi sentiment and anti semitism, especially in western your claim has since the beginning of the military operation in your claim has effectively one of the blind, i can see what we have to try and understand for those of us, you know, in the west unfamiliar with ukraine is that this level old nazi support is

normal in west of ukraine. high stakes meeting has taken place in washington durham, which south africa presidents that, that any effort to punish african countries for their relationships with russia would be demeaning. leave express our discomfort and our opposition to it. they do believe that in the end, if it is past 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 of act. i think it will harm africa group marginalize our continent. the act which the south african president is referring to is aimed at close counseling, malign russian activity in africa if introduced. it was the washington state to

control moscow as many relations with the continent from trade to military ties to alice. hartley takes us to south africa and washington's lucky relationship with united states and south africa 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. harris, you as president joe biden found in south africa leader, settled on plaza and man to do his africa, bidding everyone's up to buy favor. and that africa with $54.00 countries, massive voting power in the united nations, more or less split where south africa was neutral. a few countries formerly opposed sanctions and condemnation of russia in the u. n. some were pro western, it is one of those periods where doubles your politics has

a sort of tectonic shift and the decline of the west european chaos, u. k. out of europe, the desperation of europe to get fossil fuels from africa. at the same time, they pretend that they care about climate change, which will hit africa. hardest pressure that both the west and the bricks block put on south africa. it's a tug of war that's reminiscent of the old cold war. and what would be logical behind the scenes is for us to offer you can make incentives and other support for south africa that are, i'm opposed to, would not otherwise get. washington is a way the changing of the dynamics to the old world order and one south africa to be at this point race here on the continent. the u. s. is expected to entice, i'm opposed with increased investment and trade a global powerfully to neutralize the bricks and russian influence on the continent . but power, if exactly what south africa needs right now, the country's crippling power cars have intensified and will tail growth in the

continent. second largest economy, while the americans and europeans continue to pressure south africa to the green energy sources. some of these cabinets 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 the reliance on coal. that's a 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 ditch fossil fuels, european imports of south africa code, we're up to 720 percent in the 1st half of 2022. absolutely. there's been so much politics involved in energy decisions worldwide. very foolish politics.

africa is not europe, it's time the african countries started to make their own decisions for their own circumstances. many african countries about a dozen. they'll have formerly notified international atomic energy agency that they wish to pursue nuclear as a future. and as 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 relations can be forced out of common endeavor, aspiration or fear. but for some, i'm a, was a political party. the ruling african national congress must go is a friend, a partner in crime rate that supported the during the liberation movements in time of colonialism. and if all cuts continue to intensify here, you've got more and more muscle seems like part of the solution. got a bill,

it's john is back for oddity international. discuss this further now in cross line 2 against andre thomas housing, an attorney on the merits, professor of law in south africa. many thanks for joining us on the program. nice to see you. now as we just heard south africa, the president has said that after his meeting was fine, that the african continent should not be punished with ties with russia. he expects the us to listen to his concerns. well, good evening, nicky. good evening. listen. this is exactly the point for us visit to washington. d. c. was actually quite an astounding success because just before his arrival, there had been quite a few threats that south africa is a, i'm building block in the global the global economic war against russia as aggressive. and the south africa has to revisit the priorities

which was availed from the threat as well. but after the meeting between rama poses biden bonus and joint press conference conceded that south africa has a different approach that it consists on resolving, on helping to resolve ukraine. russia conflict through negotiations and very interestingly, a bit behind the scenes rama was reminded by it and that's south africa, has a good experience with and listing the help of senior l does batesman like the 3 or 4 or 5 most senior executives in the world try and convince morning conflicting parties that it might be in their best interest to him to agree on a cease fire and to agree on, on compromise formulas. when it comes to this acts that washington is proposing at those washington, i actually have a right to punish independent countries for their relationships with other

countries. like how we seem to have lost connection with our guess so same but we've been speaking to laundry. thomas, how's an attorney and the marriage? mercy professor of law in south africa. let's move on for now. america will not save your opinions from freezing this winter is the heads of us shall companies say, there are no hurry to increase exports, contributor 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 hero 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 the difficulty. so i guess french citizens who have the misfortune of living in a community run by bad local politicians, are going to be punished with closures or cut backs of things like city run, amenities, skating rinks, 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 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 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 every one 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 bona has said that french citizens are expected to pay about $25.00 euros more each month for gas next year. instead of a couple of 100 more,

without the cap for gas heating, and about 20 years more for lecture electricity heating. now that's a big increase for the french worker making minimum wage of about $1300.00 euros a month before taxes. and it's not like that you can count on the us to help them out according to one of the larger shale industry investors. it's not like the u. s . can pump a bunch more. our production is what it is. there is no bailout coming, not on the oil side, not on the gas side. oh, but ursula underline 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. but 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. bo's 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. while the energy crisis is worsening across europe, provoking restaurant and cafe owners on the italian island of sicily to protest. now he can see western custom has been forced to ease by tandal light. his own has struggled to cope with soaring entity prizes and turn on the life his week is a message to the government. many also putting their gas and electricity bills on public display, as he spoke with the restaurant owners who described their situation as desperate l . nashville. tennessee that i am, the increasing electricity cost is destroying us spice in a period in which we should save money waiting for the winter where there is little work. but we do not really know how to pay the bills. the last electricity bill in august was 26000 euros. while last year we paid $6000.00 euros with the same consumption equal. we're also going to see l moment. and what is happening in italy is shameful, or it is absurd. let me out, in my opinion,

they are speculating on the citizens. we have reached a point where we really don't know what to do. thanks sick. we can't get out of this tunnel of christ. lawmakers we're companies will get more and more to everybody for you. there is a real risk of general bankruptcy throughout it shall draw a last gig outshone our quest thought spin, fabulous. but in my opinion, there is a lot of speculation on the increase in electricity. and even the energy that comes from reliable sources is increasing by 400 percent. it is inexplicable. what is happening going forward like this machine? citizens retired people. yes it says will go towards bankruptcy. there are no alternatives still. well, look at palmetto, angel. hello, return. now to one of our top stories, a high stakes meeting has taken place in washington, during which the south african president said at any effort to punish african countries, but their relationships with russia would be demeaning. let's remind ourselves what he said. we've express our discomfort and opposition to it.

we do believe that in the end, if it is past, do 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 i think it will hom, africa group marginalized return now to our guest andre tom, a 1000 an attorney and americans professor of law in south africa. thank you for coming back on the program. and joining us again, we hope the connection stays this time. so which is listening to the south african president bear speaking, following his meeting with joe biden. this is, as washington is preparing a new legislation that would essentially punish african countries if they have any cooperation with russia. why do you think washington is pushing so hard for african

nations to comply with its own policies? well, washington hasn't been lucky and lining up allies, we remember, and there war, again, iraq, they had some ridiculous, very small countries supporting them. and, and in this economic war on russia, about 2 thirds of the world is not supporting us. it is europe and us. what be called the west and ions and, and in my view, it is actually a very severe violation of international law because this is an economic war. this is severe measures that interfere with the sovereignty, not just of russia, but of so many other people in south africa down literally millions of job at stake . because america threatened to discontinue the preferential trade agreement with that, which allows south african industrial product to reach the american market if agreement

is suddenly discontinued. it is over for comment factoring and saw that europe has already implemented a ban on technical grounds, but he's off hopes, technical grounds. false all if you can citrus fruits, which is a very important in the tree. yeah. so there are millions of at stake. europe has decided all food from so you must be deep frozen which destroys but fruit allegedly my health reasons and doesn't want to budge it. it cannot be so quickly re routed to russia, for instance, would love to take so that we can trust because attempts to do so, have seen our south african containers confiscated in european parts so that they cannot reach russia. and correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems to me that the u. s. tongues is so harsh that it appears to be actually pushing some countries, including south africa, perhaps towards closely cooperating with russia. after all, do you think the us is concerned about those growing ties and we see that as

a threat to its own germany. absolutely, it is a lot of pressure and peasants from a force of south africa has been very courageous to stand up against that pressure . america and you are the main trading cause of south africa and very tragically, russia is not a big trading partner. so africa, you know, by rushing, made, bought cancer or any industrial product. they don't come to this market though it is courageous to stand up for it. it has to do with the history, with a modern history of south africa present from a very active member of the south african communist hockey. and he knows from his experience that apartheid was finance and ami by the west to europe and, and america. so he was very conscious of all, all stable and strong ties of friendship with the rushing people. how

significant do you think the western sanctions on russia have been on the african countries? in some cases, devastated because many, many countries, especially on the east coast at depends up to 80 percent on, on the import of wheat and other grains from russia. and also technical assistance . and the united states have ordered little countries like muslim b to prohibit the entry of any ships carrying russian goods or any russian flag ships on entering muslim. and this means that the vital supplies cannot reach their destination. these are countries with you could even say ridiculously small, gross national product, very small economies. they're very fragile. so the economy war is hurting 3rd party policies that are not all the conflict them. that's exactly what appointed

president from us was. i was countries should be entitled to to be non line to remain neutral. and of course, to always be available to help solve the conflict and the country, but not to take sides on it. thanks for joining us. i'm so glad we got to finish our charts. we've been speaking to andre thomas. how's in an attorney as americans, professor of law in south africa. thank you. thank you. and thank you for joining us. they were an aussie international. we're back at the top of the with the very latest. we'll see you then. ah, me the news. back in 2014,
