a job is to put up the enough lean tricky real quick to take a picture ago, but could you go so good on that with a, with ukranian troops resume shelling of the city all don't. yes and destroy a nearby gas pipeline. meanwhile, an ante crew observes a russian trading cap when local don bass. both is a thought. the skills of modern comeback with russia is pop, diplomatic continues his long tour of africa, legacy being mauritania. the foreign minister is due to hold a press conference at any minute to offer it's fine up real full. we will cover it the line here, one off the internet with we have a longstanding relationship with the soviet union notarized,

soviet union with the russian pride, which we will buy from wherever we are. india is oil a minute that tells us that his country will continue buying as much russian energy as at once. that is to fly west on the sanctions that demands that the cut off imports also demanding that it comes up. basically, it ties with russia with the default devastating earthquakes and tokyo deposits. 8000 people with many more victims, spilled, trapped among the dead bri. rupture is now sending more emotions. workers to help in the search and rescue with all fingers on the pulse of nations worldwide. welcome to your news on off the international, the pleasure of a happy with. we begin now with the conflict in don bass, where ukrainian force is separate, portly resumed shelling the civilian areas and the regional capital city of dun ask

me sounds of explosions that have been reported across the city center. the details are currently being clarified. reports say they're nearby and natural gas pipeline was hit, causing right there. that massive blaze to a rough. now we understand that least a 6 civilians are said to have been wounded by ukrainian attacks throughout the republic just over the past 24 hours. meanwhile, we say visited a russian military training camping on that script public it's, it's where our correspond roman culture ref, remains embedded. he's been essentially visiting local forces there and, and, and learning how they are adapting to a current stage. and what is modern warfare? thousands of soldiers have already graduated from this training 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 they here in done escrow public and a little gas republic as well. and in other areas to ah, with that i saw the normal idea video systems rebuilt the so that's an 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, they're going to show us one of the elements that's very useful on the battlefield

. you know, the 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. the 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, lotion center 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 machine, gun operators as well. to date. it has thoughts, soldiers from

a different divisions from a different platoons over the next 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 cost for f. r t, the next people's republic. intense fighting is currently underway on the outskirts of the city of our trauma schools. on an, as bach mood, an ot crew managed to capture this footage as you're watching right now, this is a drone footage now, or this are strategically important city in the don't. it's republic has been a fierce battle ground for both sides in recent months. and as i, russian troops have been advancing on ukrainian held territories they report, leaving, cutting off key supply routes full caves, forces. now fighters of the russian private military company, the wagner group, as we understand, are at the forefront of the operation. 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 try to retreat because they are paid more alive than dead and flung them smallest hours. there are fewer and fewer ukrainian fighters less so we're 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, asked for, it is strong and there's only one path forward from russia as a top diplomat circuit for this man does not stop is currently in the north, west african nation to mar atanya, continuing a massive continental. and meet and greet the russian foreign minister plans to discuss security sovereignty, an energy regarding north africa and the sahara and held regions. previously, he visited molly where he pledged russian station to continue. fighting against

extremely groups are corresponded in johannesburg. catabolic tattler has details less a lover of is certainly not one of for rest from baghdad to bama co and now in new . ready chart in, in montana. mr. love, rob is very much a man who is not only underneath and green, but trying to really assert the fact that russia will be a continent friend to the continent and will continue to be there. as you know, russia has been historically supporting the liberation movements that have many of the men liberation movements that have been on the continent. russia has been steadily influencing some of the conflicts that we found here. helping countries such as miley and chad, as well as the d r. c, with regards to the conflict that they, that has been ravaging those countries here on the continent. and they are becoming

a partner of choice, particularly when it comes to issues of security, cooperation and as well as and lodging, the balance of trade between the same countries and moscow. but right now that visit has not gone unnoticed. it was particularly supported by u. e. u policy chief, mr. joseph burrell, who chooses moscow of being on a dis, information tor, on the continent. and saying that this is more than just the visit and a meet and greet russia is using the formation manipulation and interference as a crucial instrument of this wall. is or is not only using as project bombs, bullets killing people. it's about the mine to people is about how to conquer, disparage intelligent understanding of the people we need to love or all of these turing africa again. those days, miley 83 i well,

is she countries for that but other not so easy trying to spread lies about who is guilty. what is happening there at the level of this yet to find a closed all on the african continent. since the beginning of the conflict with ukraine and that african countries continue to speak, form the understanding with regards to the conflict in ukraine. and then the ones that i heard in african state saying that this is somehow the falls all that it should be aggregated to russia. being that gracie, in this case, i am yet to hear of it. and i am yet to see him and dealing with an old with a closed door, but many african countries are looking to russia as an alternative to answering the security question on the continental us. okay. laptop is due to give a press conference with his mauritania counterpart at any moment. we understand

that talking security, energy and infrastructure. so we'll bring that to you. the 2nd it happens here were naughty international. well, for the meantime here on the program where it it for the money, that's the message from one of washington's highest ranking. diplomats, as he visited, south africa's annual mining conference while offering to help develop the countries mining industry. jose fernandez said the quiet part out loud. she spoke about the desire to get involved in implementing african project. we want to involve the communities affected by potential projects and the decision making process. if you were to say that we're doing this to protect our bottom line, you'd be partly right. we've seen too many instances around the world, some going on right now in south america, where community opposition has led to the closure of otherwise profitable minds. he went on to underline the importance of strengthening supply chains for critical minerals used in batteries. while he thought further involvement of american

companies in south africa's economy, he urge the country to commit to the green energy transition plan that are the coming despite the countries energy crises that have basically been the cause of rolling blackouts impacting mine production as well. we spoke to dr. fred, mom, embryos, i'm be a socialist movement, president who says a while the american politicians, frequent visits have focused on gaining control over africa's rich mineral resources. initially, they used to be much more interested in the middle is for the oil. now the addition is shifting to africa for the critical minerals needed for the 21st century to colleges is this is definitely not a saudi betty to visit. they are not issued, they are not to come in, but didn't in the mostly that it's the academy. then in the name of desperation, their disability. they want to begin with muslim control of the critical minerals

africa as today. they can see something nice, something sweet. so they are coming for to africa because this time go have history and they are going to come in for 40 didn't when we were struggling for democracy though, elegy, when we were suffering with poverty and all other vices, they want to hear the i here to day in the numbers they are including they are visit, see they have visibility to nafrica because of the resources that have been from india has been hosting its energy week forum with top russian industry executive signaling a boost in economic ties between those countries. despite the ongoing western sanctions, a companies from around 50 nations and more than 30 senior government officials mall around the world, they've all been taking part is out. he's runjun sharma now explains global c e o is the industry and so and says,

and policy makers are all 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 it's g. 20 presidency is a platform to set up international biofuel alliances. and you'll see its proposed bio fuel lines could draw interests from countries such as russia, brazil, amongst others. and this me could be a new road ahead in the a no g sector as the or diplomacy in order in the world is foss, changing courtesy, western sanctions against russia, and that price gap that has imposed on russian crewed by the g 7 something lar, abundantly clear who the lucel's are and who the beneficiaries off. right now, we're still balanced 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, then it's no longer considered old russian origin. and the russian price gap then does not apply. now, in this entire process, the biggest dana's 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 government market may actually not be able to so live without washer noise. in the backdrop western countries have been bracing

themselves for a new self imposed price on russian oil supplies. and we spoke with india, petroleum minister, who touched upon a multitude of topics including energy security and the further strengthening of ties between both moscow. i knew tele me, you 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 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 re basin. we had accelerating the green. i didn't the green biofuels 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 multilateral absolutely lateral events in the world. so we are delighted. we have representation 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 it brings together, businessman stops, and so on. me, biofuel isn't the other world will go do 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 tradition 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 fuels alliance for signature. i'm in the united states as in india already there. 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. me there are

no challenges to supervise. i think that good point to start off if i miss admit, is that the world of $945.00, which established the world order? through the $945.00. what do i mean them in the 2nd world war was coming to an end . the san francisco conference was 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. and the most important part

of the security council is to make a determination on whether that exists threat to be sent to go to t and ones. it makes no determination on whether that is a print or not. then it can take counter measures under chapter 7. or 8, all that is very well, what about a decade or so ago? what we learned does it have members of the security council opponent 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 when the use of course was authorized in libya, resolution 973 vitamin mechanically then without to go to the counselors illusion 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 940. but how will this work, jane? i don't think the current going to us, you know, with the 945 order will remain the same. i see it is doubt me. answer policy also. i know mr. body, it's a, it's a fiercely independent and dictated by a national interest. india, 1st policy me. i wouldn't call it oil 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, but the last financial you at i mean 2020 to 31st 2022. you look at india as in

ford 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 that have been 2020 in 2017 to 2018. and from 201718. to 21. 22. the united states has gone up the share of hydrocarbons in our trade with the u. s. has gone up from 6 percent to 16 percent. who do believe it? 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

accrued from russia. today i got december because i show a lot of the plans in between it began, then we're going to look at 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 sent me an extra decades will require more energy. it will do that through a forefront strategy. one is more explanation and production domestically aquatic assets abroad. more important step transition to transition to green energy, green hydrogen, and the works. and that's what we are going through this. let me go on 1st one. let me be very clear. i've heard these words, but i said he was,

i've never felt any pleasure. as the minister, as it doesn't live us, southern country will buy from wherever we buy. i have no way of any sanctions on russia. in any case, if you put sanctions or you know, there are different kinds of sanctions. i was diplomatic, i presided over the you and to go to the council. i know of a sanction which i might feel actually agreed to that other countries. people said, don't buy, don't buy, but just tell me india not to buy from russia. and let's say india was to buy only from the previous country. the prices go up and go down. so i think it stands to reason. we have a long standing relationship with the soviet union as well over the union with a provision we will buy for women or whatever we have to do. we have the us as a just as applied know me

new daily relationship with all these countries. i've been here the long haul, the 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 a perspective. we have very close relations with a lot of countries. we don't allow that relationship with one to impact on us. i 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 they be 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. me. a series of earthquakes have devastated parts of toki and syria, leaving more than 9000 people. that one of the quakes was recorded of the magnitude

7.8. that is the regions strongest. and nearly a 100 years, a russian emergency workers have been helping rescue people in the syrian city of left. one of the areas most effective rushers defense ministry says they've managed to save more than 40 people from under the rubble of collapse building. meanwhile, western sanctions, particularly from america, have been blocking vital aid from getting into syria after the disaster. we heard from syria journalists by the con, mad about the current situation on the ground. an emergency situation, its tail bad, of course, ah, in a way poem and in the north west of syria, the teams are still trying to get out the people under, under the ruins. and of course, today we got some news that today, 2 buildings have been of the, actuated from people in ali. but because there was the danger of being destroyed, we cannot compare assyria we took it, have seen many pictures that many teams,

and many specialized people in many suppose arrived in a short time to turkey. of course, because the airports are off on the borders are all turn and of course they have got the supplies on this help in a short time. and of course, in serious the situation is different. ah, there are no connection. there are no relations the border of those ah, we only have see in a specific context with who has sent the supports to to, to syria. we have seen an a statement by the you as the saying that the on types of law, it doesn't mean that we, we should not send any support to, to syria, our, the, the west countries. they should not so send any supplies to syria. but of course, to law, we haven't seen any improvements for many countries. there should be an international t mar. turn a shilling group for doing this job in syria with law thinking. this is

a who's controlling or without thinking, who's staying in that area. because this is the matter of the lives of people, that number of the people are increasing every day and an hour by hour. of course, at least a 10 turkish provinces have been impacted with the tremors felt hundreds of kilometers away. now, among the country's most effective neighbouring syria, just in the lower part of a map here already crippled by years of conflict that suffered massive devastation when the seismic waves rock the northern parts of the country. not just a moment here on the program on our international. let's have a closer look now. what essentially is out of a deadly off them off. so far more than 8000 deaths have been confirmed in turkey, a with over 49000 people injured. while syrian authorities reported more than a 1000 killed and 2000 now in the most affected areas in turkey and syria, and many people still remain trapped under the rubble of collapse building. the

survivors are still being pulled from the deborah, even off the more than 36 hours since the initial quake. local report say that the voices can still be heard under the deborah while the search specified was continued no more than 5000 buildings have collapsed into a search and rescue operations continue to look for survivors. russian emergency teams have been providing assistance in the efforts working on the ground and that is off the zone and moscow now plans to send even more emergency personnel there. let's get some updates now the latest from this tragedy with correspondent peter scott. according to unofficial figures around 132 people were killed in this earthquake and 909 people i've been left injured. of course, those are unofficial figures, and unfortunately are expected to rise as we entered day 3 since those devastating earthquakes rocked the city. and of course, the cold temperatures, overnights humphrey rescue efforts,

some of which you can actually see going on behind me. now those substance somewhat busy in the day, 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 or was not down in the 2nd earthquake, but fortunately, if one had already evacuated by this time, and so no one thankfully was injured in that quake. now the situation as i described, is very dire, but people haven't lost her. 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 there 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, which is $500000.00 people, have 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. mos dorms tents in parks, basically anywhere where they can get a shelter of their head to get out of the cold. and 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, and he.
