claiming the lives of 280 people and leaving nearly a 1000 in during the evening from the russian capital and welcome to the weekly on our team international. i'm fairly, isabel, here with the week's top stories. we start with the latest developments from russia's border region of belgrade, where a ukrainians, tablets, or group has trash passed into a village and has engaged in combat with russian forces. that's according to the regions governor who says keeps troops target civilians on a daily basis. most of the the, the, the in fact they have already entered. there's a battle with them right now in the village of nobody tell john guy and i hope that will all be eliminated. it cannot be otherwise. a civilians are being killed by these fascists. every day, after they're done, all that's left are funerals when the children and that elderly people is going to

meet the russian town or should be can do located close to the border has also been reportedly shelled again after several days of consecutive attacks by ukrainian forces r t c go shut off reports. the town of she beck and i'm the bell. good region in general is being showed by the ukranian artillery. they began their attacks last year off to the russian army pulled out from the adjacent height of region of ukraine. but in the past few weeks, and especially the past couple of days, they've stepped up, they've 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 board 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 shoot back an appropriate 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 route, 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 you and 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 border, but that attack was successfully repelled. ukrainian side lost several mach vehicles. at least 2 ranks. 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 them is comparable to the was days of the towns in the did that's can be look guns, republicans very close to any situation that our crew has witnessed in the most from flooding towns in the don't boss except it is not the going back. so of course, and uh, for instance the on thursday uh, the ukrainian uh, armed forces they launched more than $800.00 artillery rounds towards the ship back in a town district alone. and that number has to be added to, well, all the project tabs that were launched and fired towards all of the food that town . so really, again, the intensity of the tax aids while it's fis, the people are 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 russia. developer of governor says the officials are doing all they can to make the process comfortable

for evacuate. now, 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 governess of other regions. now there are much more offers of help than we need to day. 63 people from the belgrade the region arrived in the to a region. well, the citizens have been placed in a temporary accommodation center in the city of tough school and louise of the emergency situation. ministry of russia have provided assistance in the placement settlement of citizens as well as information on psychological support. people not . 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 good places. thank you very much. and the belgrade

region isn't alone and it's targeting by kids forces as ukraine has intensified, it's showing of civilian areas in other parts of russia this week. the city of gore look out for one and the don. yes. republic has reportedly been hit by 30 ukrainian rockets leaving 2 people injured. another attack also struck, pry me a. meanwhile, earlier this week, the russian capital was targeted by long res, ukrainian drones that damage several apartment buildings. the russian ministry of defense said 5 of the a drones were shop down by air defense, while 3 others were disabled by electronic warfare systems and went off course, hitting several apartment blocks and causing minor damage. while some western politicians have said, ukraine has the right to target russian territory. others say they are still looking into the matter. new train does have the legitimate rights to

defend itself. it has the legitimate rights to do so within insight and voters, 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, there are some of the drones flying over the region of most call. these is not really for us to come and we don't know anything about the already genes 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 further escalation crane risk around strikes that very clear. we're gathering information. i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. from here, we do not support the use of a, you estimate equipment being hughes. right? so the basset or to the us however, claims washington is encouraging you create in militants 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 words 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 native narrative under the microscope you keep coming up with these phrases, the escalation, your names are the claims of this. what about the escalation stilton? but my, the point himself a couple of weeks ago with the script of interview with the washington post, the escalation. but if i, when you listen to some of my attempts pony, you know, he's a great 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 and to media in general that the west is about to up the ante up, the stakes in this and it's will with russian. so what to expect in the future is indicating, i think cleverly signaling sides um minutes. she strikes outside of the boat. the boat is on the crate of now to be expected. the bricks group of nations is open to new members. that's a consensus reach in south africa on thursday during a foreign ministers meeting. russia's foreign minister added that more than a dozen countries, including saudi arabia, have expressed interest in joining briggs while china has confirmed it will back argentina's admission. meanwhile, south africa's board minister has hail brakes as an organization that's helping to build a multi puller world. and we also looked this, i think, an important subject,

which is what all of the links that they should be between bricks and the twin t. and 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 this increasing interest in multi polarity. so how do we draw altogether these uh, formations that have a number of shit ideals and goals? the meeting on thursday included rush us for administer holding talks with his counterparts from the you a brazil, and a rod. in the as far administer aside, the gathering must send a strong message that the world is moving forward, a multi polar format, and that the old solutions cannot address new challenges. the talks came ahead of another summit scheduled to take place in south africa this august, leaving the question of the whole state the welcome of vladimir putin open. as the

international criminal court has an outstanding arrest for it, for the russian president and south africa is a member of the i. c. c. r. t correspondent, oaks on a boy coast, both with the russian deputy foreign minister. we welcome the submission south african chest. you have invited great number of importance in flash. so countries to the media 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 national relations. those relations, the based on the principles mutual benefit to the appeal of this organization is not mos on other members, the international community. now,

more than a dozen countries of co streaks, formally and informally, with an intention to become its member. because of all the political complications associated international criminal court issuing an arrest order for the person present that may be moved elsewhere be they made it clear that the decision will be taken by the country that is south. now this is one of the options you might have to move is below. as far as i understand, this piece of news was published in a british tabloid. and i don't read which tablets

from some of the survivors me going page would be yeah, but there was a loud sound. i thought it was the train cars and the bridge. i gripped my bags and jumped up the train 10 minutes after the accident. i so lots of people with a broken hands and legs and many were bleeding. there were many dead bodies there, everything was fine, but the train was running well. yesterday, at 6 55 pm, suddenly we felt mess the majority movements. after 3 minutes would begin breaking abruptly, there was a hard impact on people started following for me to train compartment. he was telling me the as a stepped out of the laboratory train starting with tilted. i lost my balance, but wrapped onto something almost by my body to check my sleepers, my back, everything went flying. people started falling on a child there. i was shocked and couldn't understand what's happened to my mind stopped working. the whole coach was stilted from a russian president, vladimir putin joined the other world leaders and expressing condolences to india

or to corresponded regions. sharma has more details, a miss, lena accidental visa on 70. i'm the time of the but also district all supported saw . last or recent rescue operation started the freezing disease. number of people don't say lies. the number you're going to be one of the deals for sweet tragedy. e. there'll be some time. few reasons why is the number of utilities as to hi is this is e, 3 things in bold? is this accidents and a be a summer mom? yeah. one of the season summer with uses children, people who are travelling with a children from one stage to the other in the spring from boston. and the 3 boxes will, will be very, very tragic of stories that are developing. sorry, we continue to chuckle to the world's biggest producers of pomfrey oil malaysia and indonesia have met in brussels to voice concerns over a new

a u deforestation. law. one that could be detrimental to small agricultural businesses. we heard from locals who see the future of the industry and their livelihood is in danger. with that money up front on it and the implementation of the new law will stopped me as well as new farm, was from expanding or venturing into palm or farming. with a new european, lo implemented, i'm scared, i will lose my main income and the future of my children and family will be jeopardized. i put in a malaysian palm while we always remain competitive to the ears alternative oil. so with the use trying to find a way to increase their own sales as they are scared, their commodity will be affected by that cause that they don't get the i disagree with you were being lower because it will affect thousands of full more to farmers in malaysia, i hope that the ministry of plantation and commodities which is in charge of farm auto industry can explain things to the european union, so they better understand why the reduction should not occur. some background here,

malaysia and indonesia account for about 85 percent of global palm oil exports. the new law adopted in may for bids e u. member states from importing products, linked to deforestation, which include palm oil fees, cohort and other commodities. unless producers can improve their products were not prone on de forest at land. any you delegation is scheduled to head to indonesia next month. she continued talked, local farmers have continued expressing their concerns with the law and the negative impact it will 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 the palm or can still be exported. but if this policy from the use in force

where very worried the other income will run out, i really ask the local and central government to be able to think about this for the european union, told them to come see us and help us because your policies can make it difficult for us. we just want to survive as farmers. tom, this is why you need the, this is bad news regarding the your regulations. the indonesian government has to take his hands on this because it will have an impact on russ who is level, especially oil, palm plantation pharmacy for only small depend on those so. so things come from the sale of palm or as an ordinary farmer, whatever, warranties, a stable price for apply morals. i don't care about you repeat policies as well. nice. the indonesian government can control the price of oil and haven't got in response, malaysia and indonesia have formed a united front to protect their palm oil sector with their ministers expressing concerns directly to the chief. meanwhile,

the malaysian commodities minister has threatened to stop exports to europe in response to the controversial new law. if we need to engage experts from overseas to counter would ever move by the you, we have to do it. or 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. after a tense incident between american and chinese warships in the taiwan straits, beijing's defense minister has said washington's efforts to be fought the islands military don't serve its interest as international officials meet in singapore for ages, premier defense summit no sooner than the female. the 2 truly void, easiest of those they bought from having rules that we have to buy is the last result. the best ways for countries there naval vessels and fight to jets, north 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 just for you see, my time is defense minister added that when it comes to attentions in the taiwan straits, taipei is a tool in the hands of those who interfere in beijing's internal affairs, china's warning that any such interference would end up in failure comes amid reset . us moves to build up taiwan military. the pedagogies, however, claims that washington is not seeking to change the status quo in the region or to provoke 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 quote from either side. also, highlight that conflict is either an eminent or inevitable. recently the us

strategy on taiwan has come under increasing criticism from beijing, which accuses washington of paying lip service to the one china policy that rejects tie one's independence. the topic was discussed that the ongoing ages, security summit and singapore or ukraine conflict was also brought up despite the country being so far from asia. the indonesian defense minister way to n was this page on how to bring peace to you, craig. he offered a detailed, a plan that includes an immediate cease fire and the creation of a d, militarized zone, monitored by un peacekeepers, followed by a un fast referendum in what the indonesian official called disputed territory. however, cube has been quick to reject the proposal. political analysts shouldn't those who attended the age of security summit in single floor and says the west has failed to learn the lessons of history, and is now making the same old mistakes on taiwan on. i dislike all the nice of

region is a d, c, y, as in factor in 0. and also why the suitable the late fall way in this region. we use that big a, look at the front quantities. uh, a lot of this guy is the same because of the nasal eastwood a session. and the rasa failed. right? because of his national interest is the right in the line in special the, in to do find that the only interest has we have is the price is a, you a positive, i accidentally went off the legal piece, learn the lesson from us just to be safe cambridge university has updated its curriculum on anglo saxon north and celtic history and plants, and now teach that anglo saxons did not exist as

a distinct ethnic group stating that the change is in a bid to combat racism and nationalism in general, a s and c teaching 6 to dismantle the bases of mex, of nationalism, that ever was a british, english, scottish welsh, or irish people with a coherence and ancient ethnic identity by showing students just how constructed and contingent these identities are and always have been. the university will also teach that there has never been any actual scottish welsh or irish identities with ancient roots, as they were also constructed. while some academics agree on the term anglo saxon being problematic. there's far from a consensus as the term is well established in historical and academic vocabulary. the university emphasized that the aim is to remove racial context that they find that for mental to understanding the subject. political commentator anthony webber

has told us the tendency to undermine britain's multi faceted identity. has been ongoing for awhile now. a policy for some. yeah, this is a business schools i'm. i'm the universities, the speaking i'm on the mining there. hopefully are patricia james. i'm this is positive. that's how to draw. i'm not sure what identity or co sign guy sikes is all positive. the national identity, i'm not sure identity if the pressures people are, can say united points and attacking the different aspect. right? cups of finger star swells and irish and inbox best and this is such it's that people want to undermine for failure. they pressure some odd thing, prod, powder, and error. and so that is what it comes to. something like you tried,

sucking the 8 of the crane. national identity is worth cuz i have a, we must get involved and i sit them. but when it comes to, all right, and actually i'd stay, which is by the top of it who's gone to miles or no, no it's, it's hopefully not worth preserving. somebody is just sitting on our top story, the latest ukrainian military raid into rushes belgrade region rushes. defense ministry says the attack has been repelled by or tillery fire in the ukrainian terrorist had been scattered and were forced to withdraw. that's after they tried to cross the river near the russian village of nova. your temple junker will bring you more updates next our to and that's a rob on the hour and we saw new stories across the globe. there's lots of means going on. so for more updates head over to r t dot com and don't forget to follow us on social media. thanks for treating it.

my colleague, nicky aaron, will be taking over at the top of the hour the so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on foundation. let it be an arms race is on a fence. very dramatic. personally i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very unclear because of time time to sit down and talk the

the metro systems are of critical importance for mobility. societies are becoming ever more urbanized. while ridership peaked in 2019, at 58300000 right before the cobit pandemic in north america, countries around the world are continuing to invest in infrastructure that are safe efficiency and sustainable alternatives to private cars. i'm christy, and you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be examining

the cost of public transportation and how it varies between the us and elsewhere in the world. the wide of east asia has such a better transportation system, the north america, despite the us having economic dominance and global power. while the 20th century american society develop actually around the automobile and north america is relatively sparsely populated. so modern cities are very spread out and the car is the ideal transport solution. the us population density is 110th of india's and quite low compared to western europe as well. public transportation, on the other hand, requires a lot of volume to work. the new york city subway was also built cheaply, unlike other underground systems in the world which often consider aesthetics, us.
