latest from the war and ukraine, showing by ukrainian forces has intensified over the last week targeting civilian areas in multiple regions of russia. the city of portland, in the don, yes republic has been reportedly hit by 30 ukrainian rocket, leaving 2 injured. another attack has been reported in crimea, local authority say the russian town of should beacon new located close to the border has also reportedly been shelled over night after several days of consecutive rocket attacks by ukrainian forces. people are being evacuated as the printing and militants of tends to cross the border. arches your stand off reports in the town of she beck and i'm the bell. good region in general is being showed by the ukranian now, tillery, they began their attacks last year off to the russian army pulled out from the adjacent the height of region of ukraine. but in the past few weeks, and especially the past couple of days, they've stepped up,

they increased the rustic fields such settings completely drastically dramatically . really the town of she back and now it has been shell also relentlessly. also the check points on the road leading from the city of belgrade, the regional capital, where we are right now, the boat or the check point, the road check point was shell. it was jammed with civilian vehicles as locals. they were trying to figure out if they can go to she back and it probably collect more of their belongings, collect their pets and pro possibly evacuate some of the relatives that they had to go. that had to stay behind and had no means of evacuating. sophie's trap, so from the rounds. well, it is, the civilian cause and of these 2 people died that in general, since the beginning of ukraine's attacks against the region of belgrade, here in russia just showed over 14 civilians were killed. and also at the same time, on the ground, the ukrainian army, they tried to reach the russian ukraine folder,

but that attack was successfully repelled, ukrainian side lost several of them with vehicles. at least 2 rang one of them. it was completely destroyed. and another one was abandoned by its crew as they were trying to make p, uh, photographs just outside the machine and well of the russian tillery got really, really close to that is comparable to the was days of the towns in the desk and the little guns republic, it's very close to any situation that our crew has witnessed in the most front flooding townsend's a dumbass, except it is not the zone bass of course. and for instance, the on thursday. yeah. the crate in the armed forces. they launched more than $800.00 artillery rounds towards the ship back into town districts alone. and that number has to be added to well, all the project cars that were launched and sides woods of the board that town. so

really, again, the intensity of the attack say it's uh well, it's fish. people are also being evacuated from the belgrade region as ukrainian forces intensify attacks in the border area. several families have been moved to the tula region in western africa. the belgrade governor says officials are doing all they can to make the process comfortable for a vacuum ease. no more than 4000 people have been transferred to dormitories. everyone is fed. what's his and safe? we're trying to show empathy with each family. at the moment. the cities are on the fire, residents will be able to return home when it will be safe there. i am grateful to the governors of other regions. now, there are much more offers of help than we need to de 63 people from the belgrade region arrived in the to a region. well, the citizens have been pacing a temporary accommodation center in the city of task. and louise of the emergency

situation, ministry of russia, have provided assistance in the placement and settlement of citizens, as well as information on psychological support. there were $63.00 of us, including 7 children. what was happening and she beck, you know, was scary. we were really on the front line. thank you for sheltering. as for providing us with such a good places. thank you very much. earlier this week, the russian capital was targeted by long range ukrainian drones, the damage several apartment buildings. the russian ministry of defense said 5 of the 8 drones workshop found by air defense, while 3 others were disabled by electronic warfare systems. and what of course, hitting several apartment blocks and causing minor damage. while some western politicians of said ukraine has the right to target russian territory. others say they are still looking into the matter. a new frame does have the legitimate rights to defend itself. it has the legitimate rights to do so within insight and vote is

of course, but it does also have the rights to project force. beyond this board is the took note of the reports, claiming allegedly that there are, there are some of the drones flying over the region of most call. this is not really for us to come and we don't know anything about the origins about the details of, of read. the only thing i can recall and repeat is the strong coal by the european union and not from the russia. not to use such incidents as a pretext for, for the escalation department. believe that and crane risk around strikes that very clear i, we're gathering information. i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. from here we do not support the use of us made equipment and being hughes says in baset or to the us claims, washington is encouraging ukrainian militant to conduct the attacks inside russia. in fact,

they sounds like an encouragement for ukrainian terrorists does in the administration on the stand that no one believes the slogans about non supportive ukrainian strikes on russian territory. especially when these woods are pronounced somehow bashfully and hesitantly, the united states is consciously and they retrieve a bleed to sending into the base of hostilities in europe. it's very ironic, isn't it that some when you put the west leads a nate says narrative under the microscope you keep coming up with these phrases, the escalation, your names are the claims of this. what about the escalation stuffing? but my, the point himself a couple weeks ago with the scripted interview, with the washington post, the escalation. but in fact, when you listen to someone like change 30, you know, he's of right. induces, politician who's quite mostly is not printing to them, making polemic comments. so i think for him to say this, i think we should take it very seriously. i think um, typically is signaling to russia to west of, to media in general that the west is about to up the ante up,

the stakes in it. so then it's will with russian, so will to, we expect in the future is indicating, i think cleverly signaling sides minutes. she strikes outside of the boat. the boat is on the crane of now to be expected. the birds group of nations is open to new members. that's a consensus reach in south africa on thursday during the foreign ministers meeting serve. the live rav said, more than a dozen countries, including saudi arabia. i've expressed interest in joining briggs while china has confirmed it will back argentina's admission. south africa's foreign minister has hail bricks as an organization that's helping build a multi polar world. we also looked this, i think, an important subject, which is what all of the links that they should be between bricks and t

20 in then increasingly, and i'll view mile to polo. well we, we have a sense that we're moving away from a unit polar and there's increasing interest in multi polarity. so how do we draw altogether these uh, formations that have a number of shed ideals and goals? the meeting on thursday included rushes for administer, holding talks with his counterparts from the u. a. e, brazil, and iran. india is foreign minister says the gathering must send a strong message that the world is re balancing to a multi pool or format, and that old solutions cannot address new challenges. the top came ahead of the organizations august summit in south africa, leaving the question of the whole states welcome a vladimir putin open with the international criminal court issuing an arrest warrant for the russian president and south africa being a member of the i. c. c. r. t corresponded oaks on

a boy co spoke with the russian deputy for administer. we welcome south african chester invited, a great number of important thing, flash whole countries to the serial meeting. we invest in 2 weeks, post police go, we will, and practical origin this to be there where things happen to be a few weeks as a new for my home. and she national relations, those relations based on the principles mutual benefits back to the appeal of this organization is not mos on other members of international community. as of now, within a johnson, all countries of coast reeks formerly, and formerly with an intention to become its member.

because of all of the geo political complications associated international criminal court issuing an arrest order for the person present that may be moved elsewhere. squarely the most be they made it clear that the decision on top will be taken by the country that is south. now, this is one of the options when ministers to keeping you move to move as blues. as far as i understand, this piece of news was published in a british tabloid, and i don't read british tablets. breaks down countries been invited to take part in the meetings. the goal

here is to preserve the roll rate as on organizations that deals primarily with economic and developmental issues are now russian for ministers survey live. rob has had 3 tours to africa this year alone. he's visited 10 countries so far, including 2 trips to south africa, apart from bricks meetings this summer. we'll also see the russia africa summit take place in saint petersburg, scheduled for the end of july and over to india, where the death toll from a passenger trained derailment in the eastern state of a dish has unfortunately, serves to 288 people leaving around 1000 injured. this is that it is in use worse real disaster in decades. multiple carriages derailed after

a 3 way crash involving 2 passenger trains. and a freight train in the as railways minister says the disaster was caused by a change in electronic interlocking, a vital part of the real waste signaling official se rescue operations. at this, i have now been completed and work on reopening. the railway is ongoing. indian prime ministers and around remote, it also visited the side of the train crash for a high profile level meeting with railway officials. he also stopped by local hospitals to speak to the injured the country's railway minister has promised $12000.00 in compensation to the families of the deceased, with several state governments pledging additional support. we heard from some of the survivors to get the speed out except the 1st there was a loud sound. i thought it was the train crossing the bridge. i gripped the bags and jumped up the train 10 minutes after the accident. so lots of people with the

broken hands and legs and many were bleeding. there were many dead bodies. everything was fine, the train was running well. yesterday, at 6 55 pm, suddenly we felled massive jerking movements. after 3 minutes would begin breaking abruptly. there was a hard impact on people start the following foaming, train compartment. the as i stepped out of the laboratory and the train started with 2 to it, i lost my balance but wrapped onto something almost. um i bought a 2 to my slippers, my back, everything went flying, people started falling on a child there. i was shocked and couldn't understand what happened to my mind stopped working. the whole coach was tilted from the russian president and joined other world leaders and expressing condolences to india. article responded and rude . g sharma has more latrina accidental visa on 7 pm, the time of the but also just speak to all 4 to saw. i'm so nice to refund rescue

operations started the phrase and disease number of people who built a lives the number. you are only going to be one of the deals for sweet tragedy in the recent zine. few reasons why is the number of features these are so high is this is e is, is 3 things in bold, is this accident and a be a summer mom team in jail quantity season summer with uses with children. so people who are traveling with a children from one stage to the other in the springs and the apartments, the dream compartments will, will be very, very tragic of stories that are developing, sorry, we continue to tackle after a tense incident between american and chinese warships in the taiwan straits, beijing's defense minister says washington's efforts to be foxley, i was military, do not serve its own interest as international officials meet in single poor for

ages, premier defense summit, you know, send them the old email to here to truly avoid these incidents. they bought some having rules that we have to buy is the last result. the best ways for countries there naval vessels and fight to jets, not to close in the round of the kansas territorial c namespace. what's the point of going there? what does it have to do directly with your interest to put it our way? mind your own business and take good care of your own people, navy vessels and jets side as defense minister added that when it comes to tensions in the taiwan strait. taipei is a tool in the hands of the state to interfere, beijing's internal affairs. china is warning that any such interference will end up in failure comes in that recent us moves to beef up taiwan military. the pedagogue chief, however, claims that washington is not seeking to change the status quote in the region or to vote a conflict with china. our policy is constant and firm.

it is held true across the us administration. and we will continue to categorically oppose unilateral changes to the status coal prop either side. also highlight that conflict is either an eminent or inevitable that's as the us strategy on taiwan comes under increasing criticism from beijing, which accuses washington of paying lip service to the one china policy that rejects taiwan independence. the topic was discussed that the ongoing age of security summit and singapore where the ukraine conflict was also brought up. despite the country being so far away from asia, stan denise into administer weighed in with his take on how to bring peace to you frame. he offered a detailed plan that includes an immediate cease fire and the creation of a d. militarized. those monitored by un peacekeepers followed by

a un back referendum and what the indonesian official called disputed territory. however, kiev has been quick to reject the proposal. political analysts shouldn't those who attended the age of security summit in singapore and says the west has failed to learn the lessons of history, and is now making the same old mistakes on taiwan. illustrate the scores despite all the nice words and the from watching the preserving all the old. but actually the one party that so while waiting all changing the status for us has continued to as well as to tie one and to the have is the level of, you know, meeting the space and how base i was at the or us on part as so as a violation of this one top traceable, and now the striking, you know, tree deal with you is that something because always stays close to not only amazing

but also i think the company have similar concerns about the expansion of nato. equal asian pacific region. of course we are not to be winning a new major system. asia, yes. the be obviously expanding equal to this region by hand. so all of the nation plus, because it's a for us to not only in chinese entries also to the piece of security in this region is a, these, the wire factor in your and also why a single engine late probably in this region. we take a look at the quantities, uh, a lot of the strategies to do the same because of the nature of east play session. and the process fails because it is national interest is the right expression. the have to do something to do find that the only interest past we have

is the dual credit classes that you were a positive i accidentally costing the piece, learn you less than from there seems to be see the less know this was christina's fault. that's the message from serbian president alexandra rue church after more than 50 people were injured in violent classes between serbs and local police, backed by nato forces in kosovo. the violence flared as serbian demonstrators gathered in front of local government buildings, protesting the results of last month's elections. post have been serves boycotted

the ballot that opened the door for a snake. i'll be means to gain control of the local government. despite a turn out of less than 4 percent, among other demands or the resignations of a number of new specials and the withdrawal of nato's k for security forces. now this isn't the 1st time violence classes have a ruptured in kosovo, a region populated by serbs, and albanians riddled by decades of conflict. the republic self proclaimed its independence from serbia in 2008. but belgrade still considers that part of its territory. in contrast, most western nations recognized coast of oaks as an independent states. moscow which doesn't acknowledge kosovo, says the e u, like the weston general, has taken a one sided approach. would you see thing with it with this color to do the rising tensions has already been going on for a long time?

the situation is dangerous, is it can result in an even broder concept classes and renewed blood showed in the northern costs of the 1st bits of this that it will spread throughout the balkan region or the very least parts of it. i cannot name a single problem that has the reasons you're into conflicts in former yugoslavia that has been fully reliably and fairly resolved by do. in addition to the costs of i can also side bosnia and herzegovina, and the republicans served as examples. there's a whole range of problems associated with those parts of the balkans. i would also like to recall the aspirations of various albanian leaders both into wrong and beyond to create a greater albania which has been a constant source of provocation in the region. would you conceive are you able to use the feelings of the european union like the west in general has taken a one sided approach? is this hardly possible to find a case or

a stage in the problem resolution process? in former yugoslavia since 1991, when do europe in union was completely impartial and the desire to support service adversity has always been present, especially while addressing the cost of a problem. i often come back to events, phone posts, because the same logic can be traced in recent events. now, as many times before, the west is trying to put all the blame on the subs. take the crisis and we're in croatia, bosnia and herzegovina, for example, in cost of all even before and h as aggression. the blame has always been placed on the serbs and all the example . if we take the entire chronology of the latest classes, it's clear that the representative, 2nd person aware aggressively to the key of for, for, says to pristine the saw it and became the defective boy. the guards, of course, of a forces. the lights are acted aggressively and far behind the backs of k a for officers . as for the serbs who began peacefully protesting it was justified, unexpected, considering the so called elections in april. russia has also addressed the issue

at the united nations security council meeting. have constantly been waiting of the danger of a possible escalation. in the meantime on kara, it's such a 8. it's nato allies in coast of l. as the 1st turkish troops are expected to join k force peacekeepers, though its mission is anything but peaceful. according to moscow, which states that is itself a source of unnecessary violence in the region, join us at r t dot com for the latest updates on the story. the 2 of the world's biggest producers of palm tree oil malaysia, and indonesia have met in brussels to voice concerns over a new e u deforestation. loss one that could be detrimental to small agricultural businesses. we heard from locals to see the future of the industry and their livelihood is in danger. them on the front door and the implementation of the new

thrown on deforest as lead any you delegation is scheduled to head to indonesia next months to continue talk. local farmers have expressed her concerns with the law and the negative impact is could have on their businesses. farmers frankly asked the indonesian government for help to fight for palm oil to be sold. otherwise our life would be difficult because all living expenses are no expensive. we hope that the indonesian government will negotiate with the you, so that problem or can still be exported. but if this policy from the using force where very worried other income will run out, i really ask the local and central government to be able to think about this for the european union. tell them to come see us and help us because your policies can make it difficult for us. we just want to survive as farmers c. m. but how, why unique, automotive, this is bad news regarding the your regulations. the indonesian government has to

take us towns on this because it will have an impact at groceries level, especially oil palm plantation farm us for only small and depend on their so. so thing come from the sale of form or as an ordinary farmer. what i want is a stable price to apply more. i don't care about you repeat policies as long as the indonesian government can control the price of formulas. meanwhile, malaysia and indonesia have formed a united front to protect their palm oil sector with their ministers expressing concerns directly to the chief. also, the malaysian commodities minister has threatened to stop exports to europe in response to the controversial new law piece. is we need to engage experts from overseas to counter whatever move by the you. we have to do it for the option could be we just stop exports to europe. just focus on other countries if they are giving us all a difficult time to explore, to them, throw up on the hour and the week's top new stories across the globe. there's lots
