dramatic development only really i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. i'm time to sit down and talk with we are urban fighters, so it's no use trying to compete with us here. i think our result was destined to succeed. the wagner military group cares exclusive footage with our team from the key town of sole adar, which has been taken under the control of russian forces. china reiterates that vision for a multi polar world as beijing's newly appointed foreign minister complete says multi leg african for over 10 years after the arab spring was carried on by the wes tunisia is still picking up the pieces after it's fight for democracy in this i want to say we've had enough,

the cost of living has increased. prices have gone up. what is the state? it's the president and his government. so it's up to him to account for what he has not done in the country. and india, it's a historic import peak of 1000000 barrels of russian crude oil per day with moscow remain in new delhi is the biggest energy supplier with good morning, from our to international studios in moscow. wherever you are, welcome to the hour's top stories from all around the world. i'm fiorella is about . we start with the latest on the ukranian conflict, a large explosion was reported monday morning in the ukraine controlled zap r o j. in these on verified images, you can see a huge fire in the distance. ukrainian authorities say a rocket strike, hit local infrastructure, and a drone was shot down by air defenses in this city of sebastopol in the russian

region of crimea. that's according to the local governor. there have been no reports on any damage or casualties. and here are the latest images from don. yes, showing damage after you crane shelled residential areas there on sunday evening. local authorities say at least 3 people were injured in the attack in which at least 5 settlements came under fire. one of the strikes took place in the city of gordon, of co. r t's roman coast of reports from the area. ukrainian nationalists can senior chaotic and indiscriminate artillery shelling of civilian areas, hand anesco republic. right now we're in the town of coral of god. and this residential building is right in the center of the city, according to local officials, a 155 millimeter caliber rockets, us truck, this building and destroyed one of the apartments. now, all of the windows in this building had been blown out. thankfully,

there were no civilians in the apartment that was destroyed. however, at least 3 civilians were wounded as the result of ukrainian artillery shelling walker with all of the windows who shot at emergency services, gave us tape with taped out. broken windows, though, is the central part of call of k. i have no idea what people launching this rock. it's a thinkin how the old a horribly on a scale. i have no more strength left. no nerves. we simply free to walk the streets these days to go to work to seat at home. what if the child was here? the child is 4 and a half years old. what would have happened to prepare a cruise in goal of car and, and the rest of the cities of the vast republic are working almost 247 to try and help civilians repair their homes, repair a gas pipelines and the supply of electricity and water as well, of course, they're hoping that this will soon and,

and they will be able to return to their normal work as always. but family were repairing electrical lines after ukrainian shelling houses are destroyed on a daily basis. we've got a lot to do. we're repairing electricity lines and power stations, so they create a lot of problems for us. those soldiers aiming at civilian sites are obviously empty headed, but i think justice will be served law. how did that do that? i will teach you. we heard a rumble. we started south and along i ran downstairs and so my daughter was all cowered in glass. she was running and shouting that we should hurry to find shelter . ukrainian nationalist struck this house at 2 30 in the morning. he conceived full of a shrapner holes from a $155.00 millimeter natal supplied weapon to ukraine. now, a woman was sleeping career on this couch when the attack took place. according to

her mom, something made her get up shortly before the attack and she switched from this side of the couch to this side of the couch. and as you can see, there is a bullet hole right here. and having moves in the middle of the night that probably saved her life. both aditya no, sir. it was half past 2 in the morning. we were still awake when i heard a crash upstairs. it was very loud. so we ran and hid in our basement. then when they stopped shooting, we came out of her hiding places to assess the aftermath. the windows were all blown out, doors gone and our personal belongings were in fire. the heating and gas system were out, gas was dripping, but emergency services came and fixed it. these bastards are attacking us when we are asleep. these are heartless creatures. animals, no, not even animals worse. this is the spot where the ukrainian strike took place.

miraculously and no one was killed during this attack as the family were sleeping right next door. and this building is purely for storage. however, the residents in the city of gorka are experiencing ukraine in artillery strikes on a daily basis, and people get killed and wounded nearly on a daily basis. fremont, castro, diversity, don't ask republic presidents zalinski claims that the battle for the key ton of soul adar continues that despite the russian defense ministry confirming that the town is under its control. as russian troops cher footage from the front lines here, some of the exclusive footage from the scene showing damage to residential buildings. after months of heavy fighting, ukrainian troops, abandon western supplied weapons and ammunition as they fled the town. moscow says the wagner troops were instrumental in winning the battle for sole adar,

we heard exclusively from 2 fighters who say the operation was destined to succeed, grow when the quit of zones. what are this other that we are now in solidarity, which has recently been liberated by the pmc wagner result troops. we faced strong resistance from ukrainian nationalists. despite their high professionalism, we surpass them in every way. we are urban fighters, so it's no use trying to compete with us here. i think i result was destined to succeed. as you can see from the dispositions, there were battles for practically every house. the enemy really dug into the city, refusing to give up their positions. but since the onslaught of musicians here was especially heavy, the ukrainians had to retreat. but in fear much separately. in general, during their sold, our soldiers operate actively abruptly and tried to break into the enemy's positions before they know it. most commonly and the sold happens under the cover

of our own artillery. it launches strikes while our soldiers break into the enemy's positions. so the enemies don't even have time to raise their hats because they are hiding from artillery strike, sorry, we advance quite quickly, especially in the residential sector. but sometimes we stumble as well. here with dense, high rise buildings from the upper floors of which the observation is easier and from which snipers usually fire. it was a little more difficult still inactive advancement, a ski to our success during the a sold therefore. so dar was taken relatively quickly. tenancy of diplomat was in cairo on sunday for talks with egyptian and arab league officials, marking his last stop in a multi leg trip across africa. that aim to boost the continent, ties to beijing. the chinese foreign minister reiterated beijing's vision for a multi polar world. are sure enough, only chance shoot, we agreed to work together to implement the spirit of the react declaration which

country and other african states jaina. bob been in court. my proposal is that we work together to promote synergy between been in strategic development plan and the belt and road initiative and the achievements of the forum in china, africa, corporation, sharon order to identify more fields of action and growth rates for our cooperation . i am thinking of infrastructure, agriculture, human resources, training, manufacturing, and peace and security. fact visit impetuous elena benning has met with visiting chinese foreign minister king down in colton. it had all said that the new chinese foreign minister's visit coincides with the fifty's inverse re of the assumption of diplomatic relations between the 2 countries. many look forward to learning from china's experience, deepening and expanding practical corporation and accelerating national development and revitalization. seen all the other hand can, they'd president seeking things, greetings to president iran and thanked, been aim for, awaits understanding and support on issues involving chinese coy interests and

major concerns. things that, that china is willing to strengthen, experience exchanges with meaning and governance, and support. meaning in exploring a development path, se, se is or national conditions to size also signed cooperation documents such as people to people and cultural exchanges. they've also agreed to conduct the outcomes of the 8th ministerial conference of the forum of china corporation. and to encourage more powerful and reputable chinese companies to invest in bidding. earlier last week, the chinese foreign minister also visited angola. he noted that both states have always enjoyed solidarity and trust, as well as growing momentum in their mutual cooperation. his african trip also included a stop and ethiopia, where he held a meeting with his counterpart galvan as the african continent gains prominence, and finds its place in a multiple a world. artie speaks exclusively with a era tray, an ambassador, he shares his thoughts on the future of the african continent,

cooperation with russia and more watch the full version of the interview on r t dot com throughout the day. but as for now, here's a quick preview. ah, russia has been accused of neo colonialism and of seeking to expand its influence there. do you think that is the case and if not waters perhaps, who stands to benefit from driving a wedge between russia and africa. and the 1st place we accuse you who is accusing a rush. ah, is it i'm in those countries while q is rational, who my thought is russia, although and so i've been there for a long and a new yorker and artists and connie analysis, i see the of us areas where we come corporate through the russia beach and the security sector, threat 6th or economic sector and defense sector,

or for that matter, also in other areas. the cooperation with russia could be very important in the ugly culture of 6 total. so these and there's also from ohio and the transfer of for asian, the productivity of because awaken in no, i think russia will sell us anything that we'd like thought, oh, oh, the tunisian capital has been flooded by thousands of protesters marching against the near total seizure of power by the countries president, people called for his resignation as they marked the anniversary of the arab spring protests that shook the regions political landscape. the demonstrations have been marked by clashes with beliefs and calls for regime change. people are outraged by the economic crisis and rising unemployment ripping the country. here's what locals

had to say about their grievances, isn't it? and what is it? and we've had enough, the cost of living has increased. prices have gone up, we have come to defend our revolution. what is the state? it's the president and his government. he's the one who runs it. so it's up to him to account for what he has not done in the country for a year and a half. he has done nothing. he has monopolized all the authorities and institutions. he has made promises, but he has done nothing today and i've been miss miss simpson. i cannot build a family, have a child because i am afraid of the situation. i see as a result, one cannot do anything in one's life, nor evolve in one's professional career. nothing because the situation is not going in the right direction. set also miss, look and feel if the rate of price increases will continue as well as the existence of shortages of basic necessities in the country. this is for the simple reason that the state does not have the financial resources to pay for imports such as cereals. over

a decade after to nisha was proclaimed the only arab country that won the fight for democracy and freedom. has anything really changed for the people of the country? are t, steve sweeney digs deeper into the story. the spotlight has fallen once more on the birthplace of the so called arab spring, shanicea trove is on from the revolution. people are thronging the streets in mass rallies against the president who sees power and is all trinity of parliament. march 2022. and what has been described as a constitutional cou, many had claimed that you nivia was the only country to win the fight for freedom and democracy of the toppling of president ben allie, ending of nearly 25 years of his rule, rival groups or even awarded the nobel prize in 2015 in the bel peace prize for

2015 east to be awarded to detention national dialogue quartets for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy. in tonisha elections in december were largely boycotted with just 11 percent of eligible voters taking part in a poll and political parties ban from running chinese. he has western allies, including the united states and france, have express concern, and the country's economy lies in tatters. trinity has been hit by sewing food prices and shortages of fuel and basic staples like sugar, vegetable, and rice. and to make matters worse, the cash struck country is losing money at a time when it needs it. the most chinese here has been forced to go cap in hand to the international monetary fund. it struck a preliminary agreement of a $1900000000.00 loan in october. but that has now been frozen,

pending further economic reforms. as the u. s. threatens to wield its veto, causing panic amongst foreign investors, many of whom have announced plans to leave the country while washington has cut off humanitarian aid. to months after the secretary of state met with the tunis, him president, lavishing him with praise. will no doubt be talking about our support for inclusive transparent elections. ah, thee ah, he can amik program that so important to the future, the taishan people. but what was the arab spring in reality? well, back in 2010, it was hailed by many in the west as a victory for democracy. governments were toppled as protest spread like wildfire to countries including egypt, yemen, bahrain, algeria, jordan, and iraq. one of the bloodiest events bundled in with the arabs spring was the nato bombardment of libya in 2011,

but ended in disaster. and the brutal execution of luma gadhafi with a country descending into a quagmire from which is never fully recovered. with the resurgence of g hottest on a bitter war between rival governments. but good daffy's demise was celebrated by the west. yes, we came. we saw a died in sylvia foreign intervention led to a lengthy conflict. but despite sanctions of western bach, proxies, president assad remains empower. iraq remains unstable with frequent protests and difficulties forming a government, egypt to have been plagued by instability. and schoo nicea is now witnessing fresh unrest and a dire economic crisis. so more than a decade on the question remains was a all worth it. the policy aria, frank, which seeks independence in the dispute at western sahara, has begun. leadership talks over the weekend in algeria,

it comes amid rising tensions between the host country and neighboring morocco. this is the 1st congress since a cease fire in the region broke down after more than 30 years of peace. the conflict in western sahara erupted almost 50 years ago when colonial power spain withdrew from the region, sparking a years long war between the full assario front and morocco, over control of the territory. the un broker to cease fire agreement in 1991. when most of the territory came under moroccan control, now tensions have erupted again with residence in the polar sarielle controlled region, demanding independence. however, political analyst, christopher holly says the territory is being used by the west for its natural resources. like in many other conflicts around the world, the people here in western sahara don't have the voice or the power to challenge western hegemony. and therefore they are powerless. and we see, and oftentimes,

all over the world that people who have natural resources that people who have done the things that the imperialists, once united states, in western europe, they come to plunder. so right now in the occupied parts of western sahara under morocco, multinational corporations of various countries including many european countries, are going and blundering the, the natural resources including fishing, including minerals and or including agricultural products as well as tourism. basically on a stolen land. they are advancing their economic interest. so of course, they're not going to listen to this a how people here in the refugee camps, nor to decide are people oppressed. they are going to continue to do what they've always done, not only here but around the world. and that is to plunder the resources and to continue the line of the imperialist ah, and india has broken new records, importing more than $1000000.00 barrels of oil per day from russia,

making new delhi, it's top crude supplier for 3 months in a row. let's cross live now to our to room during sharma room june. what do these latest record breaking numbers mean for india? russia relations you see the india relationship with russia, dates back to the cold war, but the year gone by 2022 house, particularly been an important one. the bilateral trade between new delhi and moscow has triple. the ad, russia has become india as a top oil supply, or in the last 3 months of 2022. so passing its dominant did traditionally, while suppliers like saudi arabia is wrong in the us appetite for russian crews has massively drew one from one percent in february of 2022 and last year to 25 percent in december. so that's

a huge jump there in the are now importing or 1. 1000000 barrels of crude oil buddy, a new were recall there. i'm pretty, it makes perfect sense. but india considering india is the 3rd largest consumer or in the world. and that was one of the reasons given by india for defined these sanctions seeing that we want to prioritize the energy security for a 1400000000 people. and we talk about relations. but how has increasing crude oil supply to india, change rushes roll on the global market? why don't i tell you how it's changed in the all will and in the eyes made itself very by your to the world that it is going to exercise a strategic autonomy. and when you look at the data, now it's becoming very clear that not only does security get no security of for

it's 1400000000 people, but also now it's exporting more. and the latest reports pointing out that india may be offering backdoor in both to the u. k. all russian or. and we're going to look at some d. a. see, for example, the job now go to find v in in the best course. it has been for 2 to 4 times more as compared to 2021 in 2022. and now when you look at this particular to find, read, the u. k. has imported 29 shipments in 2022. got to 2021. when it didn't 40 about 7 shipments. so see think creve from 29 shipments to 7, shipments in 2021. and also in terms of the battles from 2021. it was around 4000000 barrels in 2022, around 10000000 barrels. so that's the difference we're talking about and that

leaves a big question mark on what the meaning of all of these sanctions really is. the u. k. must close the loopholes that undermine support for ukraine by allowing bloody fossil fuels to continue flowing across our borders. india has been in under constant feshona's by the west constant specialist threats as well as moral judgment. but now it would be interesting to see how the kid really responds if they do after these comments by ukraine r t ranging sharma. thank you very much. and as europe struggles to find new sources of energy guitars, energy minister is confident that europe will resume buying russian gas despite the unions pledges to ween itself off russian energy imports due europeans to day are

seen. there is no way we're going back to russian gas. we're all blast to have to be able to forget and to forgive. and i think things get man's it with time. they learn from that situation and probably have it much bigger diversity. the trash and gas is going back in my view to europe. speaking at the global energy conference in doha, that the tarry minister warned europe will struggle to replenish their gas storage until at least 2025. the official also added that gas is a realistic solution to achieving the use much promoted green energy goals without russian gas on the market. energy prices will remain too high for europe to push forward with its environmental plans. we spoke to banking and economics professor richard werner, who says europe is finding it hard to replace russian energy imports. a terry and energy minister who's heading b m b, a little gas company is really looking at the facts and the reality.

and he's very much aware of the european demand and requirement for energy. and the reality is, as he points out, that the us supplies that everyone is now preparing for do take time. i mean, there's not enough shipping terminals to receive it. and so there's, there's a whole number of logistics issues you conscious overnight switch to american or the gas supply. so the reality is, the gas that the gas from russia will be needed. and we really see in the and u. k. india, a case that these indirect measures are now being taken where essentially russian gas is being imported. but it's just not admitted. that is russian gas because it 1st goes to it from russia to india,

is refined there and then imported. so the reality is that until 2025, it will be difficult to replace russian gas. the winter has been somewhat mild this year. so it wasn't so far hasn't been a big crisis for europe. but overall, the demand is significant. ah, per ukrainian online activists are calling for the execution of a german newspaper journalist for publishing the locations of the armed forces of ukraine and fall adar reporter julian rocky, who openly supports cad, says internet activists went too far in defending ukraine. verified pro ukrainian national activists are calling for my execution because i g locate footage the ukranian army and ukrainian soldiers published via social media. this is going to far guys, i don't care if you disagree with me, but demanding me to get shot as well. the journalist explained that he had posted

data about the location of ukrainian troops which they themselves had posted earlier. nevertheless, he was branded as a k g b agent, and accused of working for the russians by ukrainian supporters. russia's un deputy representative joined the discussion, saying these reactions are not normal against those who dare to publish truth and not what ukrainian propaganda wants. author and war correspondent, thomas roper says any slightly different opinion is already something evil for western mainstream media. and those who follow its narrative, there re, makia is quite a radical herself, or they don't need much to call you pro russian auto or tell somebody that you have to be killed or whatever. they are quite, quite a creep with this kind of stuff. the thing is that made me think that people who wrote this even don't know who he is. he's, he's writing mainly in germany, and i'm not sure whether the people who wrote about him that he is person that they

know his work for keith as just the radical anti a russian ensure. yeah. ready condition, the list of position of, of, of the key if regime any slightly different opinion is already for them something evil. the west knows who is supported in ukraine would remember than my dad. we remember the forces which came to power then civil, but our party and so on. this were real nazis. nothing else. and the west is supporting them from the very 1st day and from beginning of my down. so what we are seeing now is nothing new is just um, yeah, the same just now. it concerns darryl, ukraine's, but also foreigners. so the west knows who is supporting. they choose this people, they do it on purpose. and russia has requested another un security council meeting to discuss caves, ongoing persecution, of the political opposition and the orthodox church and ukraine. earlier, my colleague nicky, are in spoke to russia,

you and deputy representative dmitri poly on ski, who says the west will ignore any human rights abuses by care. as long as the government there is useful for western geopolitical goals. this is about the dictatorship of the landscape, being reinforced from their position, prosecution, and persecution of those will be in another way of dissidence. and also of course, the attacks against rational for those church in ukraine, which is really very, very worrying situation. potentially. it can lead to, to big problems, and yet the government still being portrayed as a pass the and afraid and by most western media and politicians. why do you think that turning a blind eye to these under mccray, i think move spike. yes, they have given a long time ago, the blank check, the key for you, for any crimes that they are doing. and they are ready to close their eyes as long as the grain is performing as a, as a tool for them to undermine the rational counsellor.
