regulation. we will buy a bit of what we have to india is all minnesota tells on to you that his country will continue buying as much russian energy as it wasn't. that is, despite demands from western countries to cut off imports and ties with russia and updating the death toll from the devastating earthquakes and put ha, surpassing $8000.00 people with many victims still believe to be trapped among the dead bri, i. russia is now attending even more emergency workers to help in the search and rescue efforts with good to have your company with this, i was program life from moscow. i'm rural res. to show you an international wishing you want variable. ok? we do kick off the program now starting with a conflict in don bass, we understand ukrainian forces have reportedly resumed shelling of a civilian areas in the regional capital city. all done yet

the sounds of explosions being reported in the city center. the details are currently being clarified. the report is to say that nearby natural gas pipeline was hit. you can see the pictures right there, resulting in a massive glaze. now at least 6 civilians are said to have been wounded by ukrainian shutting throughout the donuts republic over the past 24 hours. meanwhile, arthur visited a russian military training camping. don't ask republic. local forces that have been learning how to effectively adapt to modern warfare. advantage romance called arrests. now reports thousands of soldiers have already graduated from this trading center. not only operators offer ha pearl vehicles, but sir gun operators as well. ah, from here they move. different ports of the front to both the here in the nest republic and

a little gas republic as well. and in other areas to ah, with that i saw the normal idea video for that system. the reverse, the source of our guys want to go to the front line. they want to fight, they are risking their lives. of course, i can't see into any one soul, but what i can see is that our guys are determined to fulfill their combat missions . the sensor also include sir, 1st aid training and extreme situations for military personnel. for all the forces offer russia right now, the going to show us one of the elements that is very useful on the battlefield. another premier edge improves even if there is no need to use improvised means. we live in the modern world. we have affordable, effective,

and statistically proven tools. improvised means like bandages, from tampons and rubber bands are ineffective. sports trading sensor was born right here in the next people's republic. each is a neat for high tech warfare. initially it was a school for drone operators, lush and send to you any modern would require a lot of attention to a man drink systems. and that's definitely not all. we are constantly exchanging information with people on the front lines, people who are using the drones. so giving us feedback right now. it's a much bigger sensor. it covers tactical medicine. it covers a machine gun operators as well. to date, it has taught soldiers from a different divisions from different platoons of the nest people's republic, army and legacy people's republic armies as well. and it's a,

it's one of the most important schools. here are among cauthrin, r t, the nest people's republic. well, intense fighting is underway on the outskirts of the city of chum office, also known as bach, mood and anti cru. manage to capture this footage right now, you're watching from a drone, this a strategically important city and they don't ask. republic has been a fierce battle ground for both sides. in recent months. russian troops have been advancing in ukrainian held areas that ultimately cutting off supply routes for key of forces and fighters over the russian private military company. the wagner group are very much at the forefront of the operation. and we heard from some of them we've just captured some nazis and mobilized ukrainian guys. the latter are just 18 and 19 years old and they're in shock. they don't want to fight, so the mercenaries put them out in front and run away themselves. to georgian italian american mercenaries,

they usually don't get involved in combat very much. they tried to retreat because they are paid more alive than dead. i knew slowly, smallest hours, there are fewer and fewer ukrainian fighters less so with facing more foreign is on the front line. but soon they will end and it will be even easier. the main thing is to move forward without stopping. our spirit is strong and there's only one path forward rushes top diplomat circular for off. this man does not stop. he's currently in the north, west african nation to martini a. continuing a massive continental meet and greet the russian foreign minister plans to discuss security sovereignty and energy regarding north africa on the sahara and to hell regions. previously, he visited molly where he pledged a russian assistance for fighting against extremist groups. let's learn more right now crossing live to johannesburg, west just after 1 pm, and bear as author, correspondent, catabolic capital. great to see you today. so shaking hands all over the continent

and seemingly ensuring the continued birth of the multi polo world. kind of what more can you tell us about lab ralphs continued to well, as you say, rory, you definitely write. the man does not stub from back that to buy my call and now in new charge in the more retain the minister lover of has not rested much seeing that this is his 2nd time on the continent in just 10 days. and this time he is meeting with the president of motor tamia, mr. mohammad, the world guys wanting as well as his his for and counterpart mohammed self dog who will be discussing issues of international importance, regional corporation. particularly with a situation in north africa. as you know, wisdom remains a disputed area with the kingdom of morocco, claiming that it is part of the land and the people claiming that they deserve

their own independence. and the right to self determined and russia could play a very important partner in regard to some of the relations that he had, particularly with the neighboring countries, such as l g area, which has very little diplomatic relations with its naval morocco. but montana is also an important coughing that it, it is close to the police side of your front, which has been the liberation movement of with that is the hierarchy. but among other issues that will be of interest between the 2 countries is that more retainer is part of the atlantic seaboard, being on the north, west side of the continent. and it has a special economy zone which has been declared from way back, which was the minister minister lovegrove would be trying to speak to and emphasizing your favorable conditions for russian fishermen who have been working

those wards has for a while. but this visit has not gone down. i know take, and it's been know to by particularly the european union who are now all claiming that mr. love is on and this information tor, in africa and saying that this is more than just about a meet and greet and shaking hands. let's hear from mr. joseph burrell, who said many other things that have rob mcclinton and the wrong way. but he continues to speak. russia is using you formation manipulation and interference. as a crucial instrument on this wall is or is not only using as blows it bombs, ballard's killing people. it's about the mine to people is about how to conquer, disparage the intelligent understanding of the people is to love this turing

africa again. those days, molly grey, i well, is she countries for them? but others not so easy. trying to spread lies about who is skilled the, what is happening there. the 45 is that unless the morale comes out saying that russia is trying to read lives, no one is even needed to speak for russia and the level of is yet to find a closed all on the african continent. since the beginning of the conflict with ukraine and the african countries continue to speak form their understanding with regard to the conflict a new way. and then what have i heard in africa phase saying that that this is somehow the fault or that it should be aggregated to russia being that great day in this case, i am yet to hear of it. and i am here to see him dealing with an old with a closed door, but mister burrell is getting something that is done by his members member things.

i mean, not only, not only too long ago, 2 weeks ago, we had 2 ministers to foreign affairs ministers of russia, of rather of germany and france, visiting the continent to exactly say what mr. burrell is claiming that russia is doing. which is trying to agree gate blame and trying to apportion blame to russia and trying to close out numerous african states to sever ties or to at least reduce their economic diplomatic relations with moscow. something that has not been done since the conflict again and something which is, which doesn't seem like got any kind of traction here on the continent, but not a lot of moves on following this visit. he will be in dead way. he will be discussing diplomatic relations and issues of cooperation with that state as you know that must go. busy and sudan entered into an agreement to set up

a logistics dental. busy a or a naval put in the, in the, in the waters of sudan where they will be anchoring themselves with regards to expansion of some of the africa operations as you know, must go. busy is well in this year on the continent, helping this a hell region dealing with a insurgency of extreme extreme muslims who have been waging war in that region. following what the west actually started, which is the toppling of la mancha duffy which led to an entire insurgency. which involves around 6 or 7 countries in the central part of the continent. something that they have promised to, to take care of and be on top of that. as we have seen with the exit of the french in my li, amongst other countries where they have been declared persona non grata the situation of terrorism continues to be applied on at the african continent. and

that's why many african countries are looking to russia as an alternative to answering the security question on the continent. yeah, as you take out of the russian foreign minister, so great laughter off continues as continental, meet and greet. you are right. they were some european foreign ministers across the continent in recent weeks that didn't go too well as i understand for them. but of course, the american treasury secretary janet jaelyn, she was dispatched in the past couple of weeks to tour africa for a meet and greet as well as we understand that she was essentially telling african countries to comply with western sanctions and cut off their ties with russia cut about a tattler, a correspondent, johannesburg. thank you. so now, india has been hosting its energy week for him with top russian industry executive signaling. what is clearly a boost in economic ties between those 2 countries? despite continued western sanctions accompanies from around 50 nations and more

than 30 senior government officials from all around the world of all been taking part of his route and sharma. now explained, noble c. e. o is the industry and so and says, and policy makers are all of gathering in the bank to lose city in india. and holding crucial conversations around a now do security. net 0 commitments and the future of oil industry. in fact, india, the 3rd largest consumer of oil, is expected to use its g 20 presidency as a platform to set up international biofuel alliances. in you'll see it's proposed biofuel lines. could draw interests from countries such as russia, brazil, amongst others. and this me could be a new road ahead in the, in no g sector as the own diplomacy in order in the world is fast changing courtesy, western sanctions against russia. and that our price caps that has imposed on russian crewed by the g 7. some things are abundantly clear for the lucel's are and

who the beneficiaries off. right now, we're still balance to surplus because china has still yet to fully rebound. are we going to run out of spare production capacity? potentially by 2024? you start to have a serious problem. and also let's look at a big new point here. if a russian petroleum product is processed in a 3rd country that it's no longer considered old russian origin, and the russian price gap then does not apply. now in this entire process, the biggest gain is that countries such as india and china if a russian petroleum product is processed by being blended in a 3rd country, other than russia with a product from another 3rd country origin, resulting in a different product than the russian petroleum product will no longer be considered of russia. origin in the price cap will no longer apply. no, as you and the west keeps a straight face. as time passes, it's becoming more and more clear that these sanctions really are

a big question mark. and that the global market may actually not be able to so live without shana while. well, in the backdrop of all of this western countries have been bracing themselves for a new price cap on russian. all supplies are self imposed, i should say. naughty spoke with india as a petroleum minister who touched upon a multitude of topics including energy security and that of the continuing strengthening of ties between moscow and you deli, i don't organize an energy week because you have one objective in mind. energy is the lifeline of an economy. if you are growing as india and 6 and a half, 7 percent, you will need a lot of energy. we consume 5000000 barrels of crude a day. our rate of growth is 3 times the global average.

we need to put more area and that explanation and production we need to open up to do that. we've released 1000000 square kilometers about 3500000 square kilometers of sediment rebates and we had accelerating the green. i didn't the green biofuel fans and we do a lot of things. so if you're doing all those things and the demand between 202-020-1425 percent of that is going to come from india. isn't it better to have an event like this, get all the stakeholders, all the major producers, all the major suppliers, the consumers, the other stakeholders in the system have them yet. and you see that response. so we had the idea that you have such a multilateral absolutely lateral events in the world. so we are delighted. we have a presentation from 50 countries. we have ministers on 35 countries. we have 6500

exhibitors. so all those expectations and we have a large exhibition which is attracting a lot of attention. it is about our energy transition about what we are doing and it brings in entrepreneurs and brings together, businessman stops. and so on me, biofuel isn't area the world will go to increasingly so as part of our g, 20 residency. and the do 20 presidency is also the framework within which we've had this plus the addition of the india energy week. it will become an annual event. next year we are hoping to do it in glove. we have opened up an international bio fuse alliance for signature. i'm in the united states as in india already them. and i'm sure other countries are joined because, you know, even if you out of major producer of hydrocarbon who still would have an interest

in biofuels, you can do both simultaneously in a concomitant manner. there are no challenges to supervisor. i think that good point to start off if i missed submit, these are the world of 1945. we just stablish the world order, you know, through the 945. what. what do i mean when the 2nd world war was coming to an end? the san francisco conference has gone from those deliberations of bond, the international monetary fund and the world bank. they wanted to establish an international trade organization. but the legislature of an important country didn't rectify it. so out of that was von chapter for the general agreement on tariffs and trade. so that god created through the legal instrument of the interim

committee on international trade organizations. i see that set up. now do you think that 945 world order is really relevant to that? it created 5 permanent members of the security council. the most important part of the security council is to make a determination on whether that exists threat to be sent to go to. and once it makes the determination on whether there is a print or not, then it can take counter measures under chapter 7 or 8. all that is very well. but about a decade or so ago, what we learned is that a members of the go to the counselor permanent members, if they are themselves parties to a dispute or they want to take a position, then they are permanent domain. you know, the reasons you go to the function is very much option. so we had this problem then the use of course was authorized in libby resolution 1973. if i remember correctly then without to go to counseling, solution in city. so the world is undergoing

a change today. yes, that was a fund demik today due to n d, which india is very heavily chit chatting and which very proud to provide leadership that you 20 was born in a moment of crisis when the world financial and economic crisis to sort of world up today is very different from the world of 945. how will this work, jane? i don't think the current gone to us. you know, with the 945 order will remain the same as his doubts. me. as well as him also and i, mr. bodie, it's a, it's a fiercely independent and dictated by a national interest. india 1st policy me. i wouldn't call it either diplomacy. this is diplomacy which is

born of the kind of situation you find yourself in. i mean, i give you an example deal about the end of the last financially, by the last financial yet, i mean 2020 to 31st 2022. if you look at the import basket, it was pretty predictable. you know, 3 or 4 countries in the gulf. what major supplies, if you're doing 5000000 barrels. each one of them was applying about 1000000 barrels a day. in 2020, in 2017 to 2018. and it from 201718221. 20 to the united states has gone up the shadow hydrocarbons in our trade with the u. s. has gone up from 6 percent to 16 percent. who do believe in the united states is the 4th largest supply of energy to india. it was oh and on that we buy

$20000000000.00 in the united states. it's what is the russian federation is confirmed. we entered the 31st march 2022 with 0.2 percent import approved from russia. today i got december because i show a lot of the plans in between it began, then we're going to look the country which has to meet the consumption demands of a large population will always source from wherever they can get this thing and the right price delivery and so on, india, i think in the coming months and years certainly in next few decades will require more energy. it will do that through a forefront strategy. one is more explanation and production domestically according assets abroad, more import foster transition to transition to green energy, green hydrogen, and the works. and that's what we are going through this me

plus one plus one. let me be very clear. i've heard these words, but i said he was, i've never felt any pressure as the minister, as the representative of a southern country will buy from wherever we buy. i'm not aware of any sanctions on my share. in any case, if you put sanctions or you know, there are different kinds of sanctions. i was diplomatic. i presided over the us to go to the council. i know the sanctions, which i might feel actually agreed to that other countries. people said, don't buy, don't buy, but just tell me india or not to buy from russia. and let's say india to buy only from the previous country. would the price go up and go down? so i think it stands to reason. we have a long standing relationship with the soviet union as well. soviet union, with russian practitioners, we will buy women,

whatever we have to do with the us as a just as applied know me new daily relationship with all these countries have been for the long haul. the sled, soviet union, and i mean, we have an order relationship there student and you know, whatever is happening in the world today. i mean look at it in terms of perspective . we have very close relations with a lot of countries. we don't allow that relationship with one to impact on us. i don't know who's talking that nonsense and let them all do some soul searching. you know, those kind of, some of those guys were saying that is important more in one afternoon than we were doing in a quarter. so i don't like to dignify such statements. i don't know who's saying it, i mean and stand up and say it and see them to realize what the response will be. in the meantime,

a minus us quake rumble to israel. in recent hours. we understand our residents reporting tremors and several cities. when it comes to me to offer sharks, my devastating series of earthquakes that rip through turkey and syria claiming more than 9000 lives. now, one of those earthquakes was recorded in magnitude 7.8, the regions strongest and almost a 100 years. in the most affected areas in here and syria, many people still remain trapped under rubble of collapse. buildings. survivors are being pulled from that every, even after more than 36 hours since the initial quake. voices can be heard many beneath and every frantic search for survivors continues. no more than 5000 buildings have collapsed, thin put here. a russian emergency teams have been providing assistance in those efforts working on the ground in his art as owns and moscow is now right now reading to send even more personnel for health. there is a correspondent disco,

according to unofficial figures. around 132 people were killed in this earthquake and 909 people have been left injured. of course, those are unofficial figures, and unfortunately are expected to rise as we entered day 3 since those devastating earthquakes wrought this city. and of course, the cold temperatures overnights are really hampering rescue efforts to some of which you can actually see going on behind me. now. those temperatures have somewhat risen today which people are grateful for. now what you can see behind me is one of the largest residential complexes in the city. it's originally comprised for buildings. the 1st one which was raised to the ground by that 1st massive earthquake in the early hours of the morning when unfortunately people were sleeping there are still bleats, were on 70 people trapped in the rubble. the 2nd of the 4 buildings was not down in the 2nd earthquake, but fortunately, if one had already evacuated it by this time. so no one thankfully was injured in

that quake. now the situation as i described, is very dire, but people haven't lost hope. we did manage to speak to some of them earlier. one person was also pulled out alive, reportedly earlier today. and from time to time, we are asked to be completely silent as the specialist at the site use equipment to listen for sounds of survivors in that global. now just going back to the city in general, more than half of his population license a 1000 people has evacuated the city and they've gone to the surrounding areas to villages, to friends and relatives. and with low rise buildings, just to take shelter. there still left around $200000.00 people in the city and they are currently taking shelter in schools, in mosques, dorms, tents in parks, basically anywhere where they can get a shelter of their head to get out of the cold. ah no, we've also been told not to walk down certain streets here because some of the

buildings are unsafe and there's a risk that they could still fall down. and no one is currently allowed back in their building in their home until city officials and engineers have checked that it's safe to do so. um and obviously that process he did start today, but obviously it will take some time because there are more than a 1000000 residences to go through. but hopefully at some point people can start the building their lives and only some slight semblance of normality. more sense than so the end of the day, at least 10 turkish provinces were impacted in the chemist could be felt far and wide. among the country's most effective that would be neighboring syria to the south, already crippled by years of war, suffered mass devastation when seismic shocks impacted northern parts of the country. so just for a moment here on the program, let's just take a closer look at it all. so far more than 9000 deaths have been confirmed in turkey . a with over 49000 people injured. assyrian authorities have reported more than a 1000 killed in 2000 the hut. meantime,

a russian emergency workers have been helping rescue people in the syrian city of i left both rushes. defense ministry says they've managed to rescue more than 40 people from under the rubble of collapse. building. among those, for example, was a man who spent several days without food and water. meanwhile, western sanctions, particularly from america, ultimately been blocking vital aid from getting into serious disaster zones. and we heard from syrian journalist about cannot matter about the situation right now on the ground. an emergency situation, it's still bad, of course. and in a way point and in the north west of syria, the teams are still trying to get out the people on the, under the ruins. and of course today we got some news that today 2 buildings have been actuated from people in ali because there was the danger of being destroyed. we cannot calm per syria.
