a, with a, with disturbing images up ahead. civilians are killed in the latest ukrainian bombardment of done nest calves troops show the russian region $39.00 times in the past 24 hours. we report from the scene of the attacks u. s. military base and theory outcomes under attack. i mean, rising tensions between nato allies, turkey and the us. and, and the latest news from africa gonna announces a shift towards using gold instead of the us dollar for its oil purchases.

with from lost out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we begin with the latest from the ground in rushes, her song region where 6 people have been killed by the latest ukranian shelling of this city of no via co host. according to local officials, calves troops are stepping up their bombardment of residential areas across the region which recently joined russia after a referendum in the dawn bass ukrainian armed forces. i've showed the region $39.00 times in the last 24 hours. one strike had a cotton factory in the city of done as a warning. you may find the following. images disturbing. local authorities say at least one civilian was killed and at least 3 others wounded and not attack. our correspondent roman closer was on the scene right after the shelling and sent this report. vaguely artillery shelling off the nets continued. on

friday, one woman was killed as the result. that is her husband's and her brother standing right next to her body. another 3 people who are wounded in this area and now this is a food storage unit here in the nets. not a single military object in sight. daily shelling of don't ask, continue on a regular basis. as the result, there's a lot of damage to infrastructure. we haven't had any running water here in the last 6 days. also, many places are without electricity. no, the husbands of this woman is a familiar person to us to r t. a few months ago. as you can see, he's on crutches a few months ago. he came under selling had the same time as our crew was shelled

as well had that time. our correspondent helped him when the 1st aid did everything possible to save his life. and now just a couple of months later, this man lost his wife from a quarter of hearty don't escrow public. meanwhile, in ukraine power outages continue to be reported across the country. authorities say key as can only meet 30 percent of its electricity needs. adding that in the event of an emergency, the city's population could not be evacuated. earlier. moscow stated the air strikes on infrastructure are in response to weapons deliveries from the west. with the goal of undermining the combat capabilities of the countries army. vladimir putin speaking to the mothers of russian service men on friday, reiterated that kiev doesn't care about its losses on the front lines. according to

the russian president, those who supply ukraine with weapons expect it to continue to fight for as long as it takes it. bluetooth pushing mrs. quinn and soldiers are used as canon porters. without an exaggeration, the commanders, they're paying no regard to losses at all. those who behave incorrectly, to be as legally are shot in front of the rank. it's our guy. so it with their own eyes and the bodies are lying around. they don't even collect executed. there is a completely different moral atmosphere, like pitching. earlier we ask former virginia state senator richard black about the situation and he says that nato countries have no interest in the well being of ukraine as long as kia continues finding moscow. i think there's a lot of truth in word president boatner's saying there's very little evidence that good nato, any of the, any, the european countries have the slightest interest and

a well being of ukraine. the ukraine economy has collapsed, that people are in darkness tens and tens of thousands of ukrainians have been killed. many more ukrainian soldiers and russian. russia has suffered a lot of casualties, but ukraine has had just incredible levels of death and, and, and woundings. so i think, i think that the, the men of ukraine, the soldiers are being used as cannon fodder. and i don't really think that the nato and the western carriers are all about the country of ukraine. i think it's, it's simply a place to advance their, their strategic objectives. but the people don't matter at all. not the men talk to

women, not civilians. no one in ukraine matters to nato or u. s. military base and northeastern syria has come under attack being hit by at least 2 missiles. a 3rd unexploded rocket was discovered near by the pentagon hasn't reported any casualties or damage to facilities with us central command, condemning the attackers who are yet to be identified. friday's incident comes days after the us expressed it. concerns over turkey is military action against kurdish malicious in the region with an car shrugging that off, claiming the right to self defense. recent airstrikes and syria directly threaten the safety of us personnel who are working in syria with local partners to defeat isis and maintain custody of more than 10000 isis detainees. no matter who tourist clued with through care will always hold them accountable for every drop of blood

they shed. no one to lecture trickier, which is the only day to ally that food dies hand to hand and was victorious. turkey launch a series of air strikes against alleged militant targets in northern syria in recent days. the attacks come as a response to the deadly assembled terror attack on the 13th of november, which ankara has blamed on kurdish groups president ere tuan also threatened to ground invasion. i made calls from the international community for d escalation. political scientists own arson, and is alton, says the u, as doesn't want any states in their region, pursuing independent policy. united states doesn't want strong and independent countries in our region from bulk comes to me to least let's take it from 91 attacks. they provoke 3 voting yugoslavia and after it and with the dissolution of 4, you go slowly. and after that we had the proposal to be had the war,

the occupation of iraq and the device iraq to the 2 different parts. and now they are trying keep same think in syria, and now they're also this, the belief in iran and turkey is one of the main target. often i face also, they don't, once they, they don't want a strong, churchy in decision and turkish army and turkish state. is resisting against the police, so that's why we have bad relations with united states. and i think that it will ends with that's in new features. probably it will end to key codes. leave natal gone as vice president has announced the government is considering adopting a new policy to use gold instead of the us dollar to make oil purchases. the government is negotiating a new policy regime where our gold rather than our u. s. dollar reserves will be used to buy oil products. the barger of sustainably

mind, gold for oil is one of the most important economic policy changes in ghana since its independence. the decision is aimed at protecting gone has foreign currency reserves. as the demand for dollars by oil importers has the effect of weakening the country's currency. using gold as a payment method would stabilize the currency situation as retailers would no longer need to exchange dollars to import products. chris hard, a gold and global currency analysts from south africa says that gone as initiative indicates that solely dollar based international trade could not be working for all like before. the pitcher thought is one of those things is linked him to, to help support the dollar d. v will produce tend to well that the good arrangement with actually only get close for the oil that they are. so

that also helps to $200.00. not gone is gone to the point we are. it's not looking at the syringe but to not think they're saying the dollar doesn't shoot us in you. and i think in, in one since, with the rather arrival of currencies, people to see there are alternatives to the dollar the but when you could set private initiative. but gold is still a monetary instrument ah, despite a ceasefire announced on wednesday by east african leaders. i'm 23 rabbits. continue fighting the government of the democratic republic of the congo with militant saying the agreement is of no concern to them. though they don't rule out direct dialog. m 23 has seen the document on social media. there was nobody in the summit from m 23. so it doesn't really concern us. normally when there is a ceasefire,

it is between the 2 warring sides it tomorrow at 6 p. m. or in the morning. the government doesn't attack us. we will still be there, otherwise we are defending ourselves. we are always ready for a direct dialogue with the congolese government to resolve the root causes of conflicts. a ceasefire was declared after the d. r. c's, president and the rwandan foreign minister attended a summit and the capital of ankle on wednesday. as a result of the talks, hostilities in eastern d. r. c were supposed to be stopped from friday evening. the m $23.00 rebel group has been on the attack since last year, seizing territory in the east of the country. d. r. c. officials, along with other east african nations say that rebels are directly supported by rwanda, which denies the accusations. east african nations have pledge to fight the rebel forces if they refused to lay down their arms. meanwhile, hundreds of congo these citizens took to the streets and go much or protest against the cease fire agreement. demonstrators called for more actions in the

international community to assist the d. r. c. in a fight against the rebels. we spoke to the processors who told us that they want the government to continue fighting against the militants. we don't want to cease fire and the withdrawal of the rebels because there have been many dialogues that have never brought a solution up on the puzzle today. the only solution for government is to fight gun internet been we want them to remove the ceasefire and to be able to fight with the m 23 and chased them from where they came from because they are not congolese women . even the regional force, we don't, don't want it get up in the, i want the armed forces of congo to be able to put an end to the m 23 through war. so that we don't listen to that. we don't give the enemy time, which is why we don't want to cease fire. our brothers are suffering in rupture. they want to invade the d. r. c. the government should do its best to finally put an end to the rebels. the russian foreign ministry has praised rowing african independence on the global arena,

while also condemning french accusations of moscow pursuing a predatory policy in the region, saying paris should and speak for the continent. the african continent has its own voice. african countries and the continent have the right to speak for themselves with the right to develop relations with those it wants to, they don't need frances mediation services for this. with france, apparently losing ground across africa. paris is shifting the blame on russia while itself facing criticism of or exploiting ties with former colonies for its own interests, as well as being accused of de stabilizing north africa with its ears, long military operation in the hell. meanwhile, uganda phases pressure from the e. u. over an energy project with tanzania they you issued a resolution urging the country to haul the development of the world's longest heated pipeline back in september, saying that it would harm the east african region. business journalist charles

milwaukee says that it's up to africa to design its own path of relations with other states. why homie was at this point in time, because if you notice one of the plans, we've been just such a company out of town best in the space. so ideally, one would want, i'm, you know, just to be hard to know what the motivation for the continent we should be able to put across our interest. and then the rest of the was kind of coming at times by the decision to actually make, you know, to be met. maybe african countries of the continent to decide which direction they want to take. israeli forces have demolished a palestinian primary school in the southern west bank. it comes as it is really

court declared that it was a legally built in an area designated as a closed military firing zone. children are forced to flee their classrooms, climbing out of the windows before israeli forces flattened the school. here's our keys, maria fin ocean with more. teachers help children leave the building through the window while trying to calm them down at the same time. the kids, luke, last and in a state of panic. and this is what happened next. ah, this building used to be a school in the occupied west bend. israel says it was an illegal construction. on wednesday, the enforcement authorities at the civil administration carried out enforcement steps against a structure that was built illegally and firing zone $918.00 in the south hebron hills with yesterday, we were sitting at a school in learning. suddenly the israeli soldiers entered the classroom and

through gas pumps and broke the doors. we tried to escape from the windows, but they shut them the also hit the teacher's kids in the school and a very old man and a woman who had heart disease. we try to prevent them from doing this, that they continue to do so. we are feeling frightens dress. there is another school, but it is so far away. hours after these rarely demolition local residents set up a tent on the schools ruins. but they don't know what will happen to him next. this is what's left over in elementary school here in the village of fi. south of hebron . hills in the area known in arabic as must have heard he had. it used to be home to $23.00 boys and girls. here they are. they now have to find another place to continue their study. but this school in the mountains is just the tip of the iceberg. this whole area covering miles of rolling hill tops is so cold fire in zone 918, a closed military area that serves as

a training ground for idea forces. since it was declared in the early 19 eighties, these railey authorities started clear in it from any construction. after the also decided to relocate the people in 1999, the palestinians went to the high court a legal battle last over 20 years. earlier in may, the court delivery the decision, not in favor of the palestinians, nor has out of the gift. they have their own places to train, but they want to occupy a land and say they want to train them. in july, a judge came to us and said that this a was a military firing zones, and they want us to leave based on the court decision. but we will not abandon this land because our ancestors were here. they say that this land is a farming zone, but it is not necessary yet to several villages, with a population of more than a 1000 people. i said to be cleared out, they have moved the seasonally with the ships, which is something that is al,

doesn't recognize it because it's a western society that doesn't necessarily understand seasonal movement and shepherding. but it's just how people live. people have lived there in caves, way before the occupation, and where before is i was even established something a bit clever they're doing. it's not like in 1999. that what they did is just to take people from the homes at night, put them on parks and throw them at the end of the fires on i think the understand that it doesn't look so good these days that they're doing in or so outside of this so called the firing zone is us to make life so miserable that people, that it won't be livable. a tie isn't israeli june, and an activist defendant, the rights of the people. his state who believes is a pressing when does equality and like, and the decision is made on a democratic and equal basis. if people decide that they want this somewhat of a 2 state solution or confederacy, or one democratic state,

everything is fine with me if it's, if the decision is taken democratically, but these rally government disagrees with the allegations. it's not only for policy policy, yes, it works all for, for israel, if you have a court decision. so army bill executives as caught the season as they destroyed schools, they destroyed a synagogue, and so on and so on. it's not only for quality in please have a status for each of the status quo. you should not to try to break it. no vaughn should do it. if you have a standard error, you may not build up a school. you may not build tone. any buildings you may not leave there, it's a earth defect error, a stick that means restricted. now after the decades long chords battle is over, the fight it seems, will continue here on the ground, on the very land which both israelis and palestinians claim as their own mission

option r t from west bank. day 3 and the berks plus gathering is underway in russia st. petersburg with the blocks member states presenting their projects and investment opportunities all over the globe. the forum is also hosting delegations from partner countries from around the world, as well as bricks plus members. during the meeting participants discuss their management experience and the potential development i'm joint projects. the president of the association of italian entrepreneurs in russia says that only with a joint effort by all countries, can there be a solution to global problems? to propose to bank many ideas and proposals of cooperation were boosted the form. i hope that relations between europe and russia, and especially between edaly and russia, will improve these would mean that we have overcome all moments of the crisis together. and we have a lot of european companies that operate in russia. economic diplomacy plays an

important role in our mission. so now the form of diplomacy is the cultural relations between the countries. that is exactly what was discuss of the forum. i think most important is that people should fight hatred and contribute to overcoming such moments of political crisis. i believe that it look forward to peacefully coexisting. that means that we need to find a form of dialogue with every one and every country. i believe that this is the only way to solve problems as an international level. unfortunately, this has not happened recently. they trade minister has said the block would have no choice, but to respond. if the u. s. inflation reduction act is implemented, insisting that subsidies for u. s. companies provided under the new law would discriminate against european firms, as, as some e u. officials lash out at washington for allegedly profiting from the ukraine conflict. leaving europe facing dire straits. we already had a historic juncture american nice realize that public opinion is shifting in many

you countries. the country that is profiting most from this war is the u. s. because they are setting more gas under higher prices and because they are setting more weapons. so there's a lot of finger pointing going on right now here in europe, we're starting to see an increasing number of comments from european officials targeting the u. s. first, they're saying that u. s. energy companies are making windfall profits over the conflict in ukraine. french and german officials said earlier this month that those revenues are coming at europe's expense. is it that we need to put it to the united states is producing cheap gas that they sell at a high price. and in addition, they have taken measures of massive state aid for some sectors that fully throw our projects out of the market. i think it's not in accordance with the rules of the world trade organization, and i think it's unfriendly. some countries including friendly ones, sometimes achieve astronomical prices for their gas. of course,

that brings with problems that we have to talk about. maybe if they call the u. s. friendly enough times us energy companies will just give away their gas to europe. right. and maybe team usa will pull the goalie during the world cup. so european teams can score joe biden promised europe at the outset. when europe pull the plug on its own cheap russian gas, that the u. s. would step in with natural gas. he didn't say that it would be cheap . it's like you're shocked to learn just how far uncle sam would go in the interests of making a few more bucks. really, how many times if they us ginned up military interventions or cruise in order to ultimately secure an economic foothold in some resource rich nation. both france and germany are acutely aware of the endless cut throw trade war between their airbus group and the u. s. defense contractor boeing in the aerospace sector. there are certainly no friendly concessions there. and now we're having to scramble in

order to prevent their own industrial base from being lured away to the us through jo biden's inflation reduction act. we call for an e e u industrial policy that enables our companies to thrive in the global competition, especially through technological leadership. we want to coordinate closely a european approach to challenges such as the united states inflation reduction act . the u. s. is following the domestic agenda, which is regrettably protectionist and discriminates against us allies. washington encouraged the you to separate from the russian fuel that it was getting pretty cheap for its economic engine and is now closing in on a major when over europe on the global economic playing field. so why would washington back off now just to please europe, european officials now reportedly figure that the u. s. industry is making so much money cranking out weapons for ukraine. that you know,

it would only be proper to ease off the energy pricing. what planet to these people live on, where americans leave any money on the table at all? these european officials are also conveying to the u. s. that europeans view of washington and of the transit land take relationship is at risk. if the us comes out looking like the big winner amid the ukraine conflict, while europeans feel like they're the ones making all the sacrifices, real sick of somebody, we're on a general strike because people cannot pay the bills anymore. nowadays, we don't simply have to struggle to live. we have to struggle to survive. graziano, we will call them. the situation right now is chaotic. we are worse off than in march. fuel prices are rising, spare parts, tires oil, everything. it is on viable to work like this, dustin equity, energy cost. i don't think that the energy costs and the rising prices are in harmony, down with the energy bells. right now they had to high you had kind

of in the crisis we are in amid the inflation. young people have no future life. we don't know how to pay for our food. on 54 percent of french citizens, 57 percent of germans. and more than 75 percent of italians are worried about their purchasing power. that's according to an e. u. public opinion monitoring report from last month about a 3rd of germans expect power cuts this winter. and a whopping 87 percent of the polish population expects to be rationing energy. and the lower all of this drags on the more these folks are likely to turn against their european leaders. so it looks like those leaders are already sizing up washington as a potential scapegoat. and to think that all they really had to do was to say no to washington at the very outset of all this and just do what was in their own best interests. and those of their people. and that's all for now. be sure to check out
