they talked how several artillery strikes across the front managed to kill some 74 in the mercenaries, foreign mercenaries that have been doing the bidding of the ukrainian side that have been worrying on the side of key of the so called foreign legion. now also, but the incident in, at my cave ca, for example, it has caused an uproar among the experts among the military experts here in russia . they've been asking questions as to how come show many people were stationed at a feeble or soviet era building. why weren't there quarters located in the basements and the under ground, and there have been repeated calls for a serious investigation of this so far, the russian defense ministry has already promised to provide all help it can to the families of those soldiers who have been killed or, well wounded as a result of this high mas strike. meantime, russian authority say to drones,

from carrying out attacks on the russian territory. while after months of violence, the m 23 military group may withdraw from several settlements in the democratic republic of the congo, perhaps on thursday that is, according to the east african community organization. now m 23 is allegedly supported by the d. r. c neighbor wanda, something it refutes, but the e u foreign policy chief isn't buying it. the you firmly, i just wanted to stop supporting the m 23 and use old means to press the m 23 to comply with the decisions taken by the e. a c, it's also firmly urges all states of the region to prevent the provision of any supports you. i'm groups active in the d i. c. outcomes as tensions escalate. again with her a one there accusing the d. r. c, of violating as, as space for a 2nd time in 2 months, offer a military plan, reportedly trespass for wandering territory on wednesday. kinshasa had early denied

it was an incursion calling the incident to an unfortunate mistake. now the democratic republic of congo, backed by the e. u insists that were wanda, is supporting the m 23 militia groups. those allegations again have been denied by k golly. according to a un report, due to m 20 three's activities and fighting within the d asi, tens of thousands of people have been displaced in an attempt to deescalate tensions during the autumn. the east africa regional, 4th deployed canyon troops. there is peacekeepers. local, some of whom i spoke to us on the promise of anonymity. they say the atrocities of actually intensified. why do you say keep, dec would have no security on the people are software launched? the have no access to food, i'm the rebel, saluting everything in the fields and there was no kit, not been in our village before, but sees the m 23 war starts. it is become a frequent problem with many people have disappeared and some have been shot that many others have been taken away to

a known location of american bennett. people have died while both men and women and their bodies have been found in various places and was, wouldn't go what might happen while women raped and children killed in mass. i'm. it's a situation that terrifies us because we're afraid the witness terrorists are doing and reassure could happen in the city of go monica, all these other people taking hostage. you do not want to be ruled by m 23. we've asked our authorities now address the situations that we fear the worst yet her are still respect human rights. and it's shameful to see all these organizations yet that are supposed to protect human rights sitting on their hands. so in the face of such suffering, he began m bow. how a bendy 2022 saw the end of an 8 year french military operation in the uranium rich west african sa hell region of the operation bought a cane, left thousands of civilians dead and many others displaced. so now straight to johannesburg, artes catabolic tattler with more troubling details. hi,

this is may try the former colonial power in africa. drums is fast using influence on the ground. and in the continent, this wave, if attempt to keep the power poster phrase president the manual micron and i was in you africa strategy to be launched in 6 months. this is his government's response. as franz pulled out of the fire read, the strategy is big one, ambition, but little on detail. france remains resolutely committed to the security of the continent, acton, and support. and that the request of all african partners is from us really winning . or is it playing out like the 2020 to cut our welcome final, the former colonizer claims it remains committed to security in the region with a street faith. paris fed this as if athene surgeon mission operation bar card came to any glorious end in the field of perception,

berkin continues to occupy every important presence of social networks. it is necessary to put a clear end to it in order to switch to another logic. but it will also be logical for anyone to consider operation voc on a failed mission, spending 8 years in the for hell. a barely lived up to his promise. there is no noticeable change in the conflict. todd bade that is this a hell and f for france. the hottest are not only fill in the region, but they seem to be gaining momentum. according to the united nations, civilians have been displaced in their millions, and they have also been killed in their thousands. the deepening of the protection crisis negatively affected the already dire humanitarian situation. the number of internally displaced persons rose to 397000 in the center in north of the country. more than 1800000 people faced severe food and security,

and 2000000 children under the age of 5 are affected by acute malnutrition process . it wants to invest in shared history and culture with french speaking country. but what correlation is there between uranium mines in northern new j phrase power plants and french troops on the ground. and for money, france is a transactional colonial power. the transitional government demands present, micron permanently abandoned his new colonial, paternalistic and patronized imposed show to understand that no one loves molly more than more than once. in a monday letter to the united nations security council in august, molly, i choose from violations of it is face to collect intelligence for the benefit of terrorist groups in the sale and dropped arms and ammunition through them. and chaired, added to french, was lamenting frances interference in his domestic affairs. the french president

insisted french remain pan african language in the face of former french colonies like royal elder rejecting it for english and fed. france was being rejected as an ally and rather viewed of a hangover of colonial times. instead of being humble, france blames russia and others. a number of powers who want to spread their influence in africa are doing this to hurt. france hurt its language so doubts, but above all, but su, certain interests for more than 3 decades from seems entrenched and rooted on the continent. self assured, and even some mighty coffee and its arrogance by 2022. from the year of lessons where the former colonizer framed diplomacy on the continent is being reviewed,

and a different partner is being sought. only time will tell if this is a bad page or if up dreka is really ready this time to bit front of got a lot of p enjoy and is back. so anti french sentiment also on the rise in neighboring but kinda fast. so the country president was overthrown in september, and a qu, his alleged inability to deal with an islamist insurgency. protest has been set fire to the french empathy in the capital. at some demonstrations, if you look closely, protesters we even seen. in fact, waiving the russian tri color flags right there, perhaps ultimately calling the close to security ties with moscow. so we spoke with a bunch of foster activists and academic who says that power says, quote, colonial attitude to african nations, lies behind much of today's anti french sentiment. in the ridge, caesar independence,

our region lost. it has a glory. our foresees is, is j, france, an army in our area in lately come see, it does force are just looking out for see and did. did they organize it? they planning to do is organized our own. i mean, we don't have a possibility to, to plan and organize our own foresees to attend. so the need of secretion of security. so we gotta just say that it was a reach tools for our a our government to do

those for see continue to be in our area for a pupil and some government id do for foresees, ah, or so in get her in our own government programs and to put a c, c, c. for that attitude off our order, blue glow. nicer. a very, very rude and very bad. i turn our attention now to sri lanka, where mass protests gripped the country in 2022. a government economic mismanagement was seen as the main factor in all of this, but as our south asia corresponding to reports, the situation was greatly exacerbated by western sanctions against russian energy.

2022 has been a hero. stronger for sri lanka, the country faced its worse our economic crisis. since it got independence and 1948 . the economic crisis soon spiraled into a political and humanitarian one. in april, sri lanka defaulted on billions of dollars of external deb, leaving died a nation with no food, nor fuel and no medicines. at least half a 1000000 people fell into poverty and then not to forget the western sanctions on russia and 2022 that dragged the whole world into economic chaos. and further bunch of countries like sri lanka, not what ready struggling? do you think sanctions will help? it will only push prices up. so let's start with what's possible. let us look at the sanctions that have been imposed and ask ourselves if it's necessary, the sanctions won't bring russia to it's nice,

but they will bring the rest of the 3rd world to each niece was followed was daily parlor back out, wide spread, protest on the streets, blendy, fields outside central stations, and all of that lead to the fall of the long standing roger buckshot government. i mean, in july this is war tree long gone. look like government offices run a war. public broadcaster hijacked presidential dallas ransacked prime ministers, offers set ablaze, and president having to fled the country. unceremoniously a little port are based in south asia. i have colored numerous pro us or what

a decade, but nothing compares to what she, lunk a witness this. yeah. what, how did things go so bad? she langon biggest industry's up to resume and agriculture explore, i'd say, why the corona, water spend to make killed the tourism sector. a ban on chemical fertilizers introduced by the then president with our biological upshaw damage the agricultural sector. the import dependent country ran out of money to live completely depleted in november 2019 our foreign exchange reserves were at $7500000000.00. however, today it is a challenge for the treasury to find $1000000.00. we must prepare ourselves to make some sacrifices in face the challenges of this period. i'll re bed good bye to 2022 . the q was, have gone away, but not being the supply is have somewhat priest on what the inflation remains. the

new government was hoping to get a $3000000000.00 bill out package from the i. m f. my december. but to secure that and had to renegotiate loans with its foreign lend does tighten budgets, spendings and beliefs. revenues simply means wat trouble for the island. nation of 22000000 people. region sharma, r t, supply shortages on sky rocketing energy prices lead to many countries. seeing their highest inflation in decades this past year. and if you think things are going to get better and 2023, maybe think again the i m f. i said it expects at least one 3rd of the world economy to be in recession. let's get the opinion nevada contributor kristen. one of the most commonly used was this year was inflation, according to google searches for the word quadruple between 20202022. why? the sudden interest in this standard economic term inflation across the west search

to unprecedented levels during 2022 hitting on average 11.5 percent across the u. while in the u. s. supposedly the world's strongest economy, inflation climb to as high as 9 point one percent. but what does that mean for you and i, let's use an example. let's say you head to the supermarket to do your weekly shot and lost his inflation was 0 percent. but this he has inflation is 10 percent. that means that you have 2 options. pay 10 percent more than you paid for the exact same shopping you bought at the exact same supermarket last year. or if you can't afford it or can't borrow enough to do so, you'll need to remove 10 percent worth of the items from your trolley. that's pretty hard if you're trying to get by on the bare essentials. it sounds like something out of charles dickens novel doesn't it? but this is actually a reality that millions of people face this year. what's more, west and politicians appeared to be entirely clueless about the matter. take

a look at bite and telling the world that us inflation was 0. when reality it had reached a peak of 9 point one percent. actually, i just want to say number 0. today we received news with our economy had 0 percent inflation. in the month of july 0 percent, that came as a shock to christine the god. the current head of the european central bank inflation has a just pretty much come about from nowhere. apparently, inflation came out of nowhere. this is even more shocking, as before her current, highly paid job, she had another such lucrative employment as the head of the international monetary fund. that's the institution that controls and monitors the entire global financial system. but have no fear. western lead is a quick to provide us with an explanation why you get it. as per usual, it's all flat that may putins fault. today's place report,

confirm what americans already know. prudent price, i consider america hard. make no mistake in places largely the fall approval photos invasion of your grade is driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. i'm going to do everything i can to minimize pollutants price. i care at home. they fail to mention that over the past 24 months, the us and its allies printed of bossed amounts of money, not seemingly understanding, but for every single extra bank note you prints. each bill becomes more and more worthless, the giving this money to institutions and companies that have a reduced amount of goods and services due to a more or less global lockdown would have a knock on effect. printing bossed amounts of money tends to always cause what economists call hyper inflation. even a basic history book show you this. the 1st example in modern history was the $929.00 more st cross, which contributed to the di, economic conditions in germany,

which led in part to the rise of adult hits law and the nazi party. there are now double the amounts of us dollars in circulation than in 2019, no wonder inflation is through the roof. when there is twice as much of the walters, the currency circulating for the same amount of goods and services that's down to economy. it's not growing substantially due to the freeze, forced upon the more or less by the global lockdown due to coven 19. so what's the solution? and how do we back to normal central banks feel that they have the answer? that's right. you and i need to pay more in order to fix the mess that they have caused. right now the central banks of the u. s. e u and u. k. are increasing the rates that you and i have to pay the credit credit. but many of us are being forced into, due to the inflated price of goods and services. these cord interest rates, which is set at a baseline by all governments. the banks justify this by telling us that they are being hit by the rising goods and services. and if the charge is small so that they

won't go bankrupt. that's not to mention the rob a possible claim that they also need to charge us more in order to fund billions upon billions of a few crane in order to combat the energy crisis caused by the sanctions on russian oil and gas done. we all wish that we could all fit our mortgage or credit card payments against someone else. unfortunately, the wall doesn't work like that for you and i, but it does for them. so what is the knock on effects of this? the less money you have, but less you are going to buy $1.00, you've maxed out your credit card, which now costs even more to pay off due to the increased interest. you become significantly poor if you are poor up. so is your country. and thus we start to see a steep decline into poverty for entire countries. it isn't rocket funds to what this one out. but it's not all doom and gloom for some, especially if you are american inflation in the u. s. and across major european countries. so some kinds of slowing, thanks to a number of restrictive measures conducted by institutions. halting among many

things, the printing of yet more dollars into the now hyperinflation. casino we call the global economy. u. s. lawmakers have just passed the inflation reduction act, which has been met with pure disbelief by lawmakers globally. but predominantly those in the u that have been seemingly noting that heads and complying with us fiscal demands over the past few years with little to no resistance. this act is an isolation if policy by the united states, incentivizing domestic productions of goods, putting foreign partners out and forcing them to produce goods and services inside the u. s. which, if added to the already ravaging energy crisis and sanctions will become a catastrophe for the global economy. this means that as goods and services are produced domestically in the us, they will become cheaper for us consumers. whereas for anyone else outside the us that is used to buying cars, made in their country of origin, prices will become boss lee more expensive. this further implies the price for the

rest of us, but decreases the price for anyone in the us. in layman's terms, this will result in the u. s. economy, but best thing, the effects of the past few years on that people but increasing the pain and suffering for every one else. the inflation reduction act has received so much additional scrutiny in europe and also in the rest of the world. there is a risk that the i r a can lead to unfair competition, could close markets. and that's fragment, the very same critical supply chains that have already been tested by colored we are in europe really at the point where we risk to be industrialized. we have to react with strengths now. so is it too late for global leaders to best the effects and counts of the us at this quite obvious game with his playing?

well, the answer is difficult. the u. s. also controls the world's reserve currency, the us dollar. most global governments in that central bank hold large amounts of dollars and bonds. a deflated us economy means that the cost of buying dollars will decrease. will this be enough to save the global economy? in my view, this is a huge gamble, no wonder, so many countries have had enough. and now moving away from holding and trading in us dollars. they are now offering to hold currencies that have not been printed like monopoly money. such as the chinese one, the russian, we will even bitcoin. if the us dollars ceases to be the be all and end, all of global finance governments worldwide will have more sovereignty over their own finances in economies needing to a far more democratic multi polar walls. that will be a true free market, something that the u. s. allegedly fort it's war of independence for the

south korea, as president has said, plans are underway to conduct military drills involving nuclear forces with america and the rising tensions on the korean peninsula. what we call extended deterrence was also the u. s. telling us not to worry because it will take care of everything . but now it's difficult to convince our people with just that the u. s. government also understands that to some degree the nuclear weapons belong to the united states. but planning information sharing exercises and training should be jointly conducted by south korea in the united states. or that announcement came off the north korea so that will they increase as nuclear arsenal this year showing has been test firing missiles or this geopolitical rival to the south has been ramped and got military drills with america in recent months. the south has warned that if north korea conduction actual nuclear attack, it would retaliate and destroy the pyongyang government, and north korea attested that the purpose of its missile program was simply to protect itself against threats from america and south korea. the prevailing

situation calls for making redoubled efforts to overwhelmingly beef up the military muscle to thoroughly guarantee the sovereignty security and fundamental interests of the republic. in response to the worrying military moves by the u. s. and other hostile forces precisely targeting the democratic people's republic of korea. we heard from a j, a political expert, victor gao who says the military exercises will only exacerbate tensions on the peninsula. and just like united states and r o k, also need to really think about why dpr k had to develop its nuclear weapons. i think dpr k concluded that it needed the nuclear weapon to prevent the color revolution that the united states has been doing to many other countries to prevent a kind of military assault on dpr k aimed at over throughly the dpr k

government. and therefore, i think it really takes the 2 to tango, the united states, in particular empty p r k, need to negotiate with each other resort to diplomacy, to solve the nuclear weapon program on the korean peninsula. but now if the united states wants to join the military exercise with the r o k forces using nuclear weapons, in addition to strategic bombers, this is not helpful to me. d notarization on the korean peninsula, it will make nuclear arise, asia and nuclear weapons. and a potential conflict on the korean peninsula, more likely, using nuclear weapons and strategic farmers to join india, exercise involving on can on the korean peninsula should be condemned. because otherwise, it may actually contribute to completely the stabilizing the situation

on the korean peninsula. this is the last day that countries in that part of the world want to see some more news coming in now from don bass, where reports are emerging through ukrainian military base has come on the fire. there are some of the latest unconfirmed images we have from the scene, and you can see an enormous glaze fire fighters are they working to extinguish the flames. and explosion in the area was reportedly captured live by a french tv cru. filming at the time me no more updates on that story on the rest of our stories for you. what r t dot com for the meantime. this is off the international. thank you for joining the oh i i.
