terrorism. we are currently witnessing the terrorist methods firsthand during the attacks by ukrainian militants on the course region. carried out with weapons supplied by the west side of the beam. looked at our hyundai on hundreds and hundreds of people have been a number of people out of the team. and our case correspondent reports from the heart of nairobi, words demonstrators, plus with the ladies send a demand to the resignation of the canyon presidents. the rifle rouble live in moscow, you are watching our t international. we start with breaking news and russians belgrade, which has reportedly been attacked by ukraine, according to local authorities, one civilian was killed and 2 more injured and verified reports say there have been several explosions to stay with our tiers. we continued to update you with the
5:02 pm
latest on this developing new story. well, this comes as kid has lost over $600.00 trips in the curse region since russian forces began to repel the latest border attack. as, according to the russian defense ministry, speaking on new cranes failed, attempts to progress further into russian territory during the day ukrainian forces last up to 400 soldiers and 32 armored vehicles since the beginning of hostilities in the kursk region. ukraine has suffered loss is up to $660.00 soldiers and $82.00 armored vehicles, including a tanks, basically personnel. why is it means about 2 thirds of the initial or $8000.00 men . strong garrison of the ukrainian proves that cross the russian border, the ukrainian armed forces. they all know we do have reserves on stand by across the board at any crane and that not all of them are packed off for most of them have being thrown into bottles. so it doesn't mean that the fighting is almost over
5:03 pm
. in fact, it's the opposite. it could be just the beginning, and we off a waiting hear the response of the, of the ukrainian militants. and they'll be ukranian, come on to the destruction of the majority of their initial guys and by the russian troops. so it seems, the situation is bound to escalate for them. well, interestingly enough, he did not rush to coleman's efforts here in the course region the, on the, i mean, it is a large scale operation. but in a size public good commentary, by a high profile, the free and official, he has revealed that this opperation has the goal of basically strengthening ukrainian positions in the future. peace negotiations have a lesson. they, they have a war that is gradually moving deeper into russia. will this scale them? yes. did they react to anything else besides fear? no,
5:04 pm
it is finally time to realize this. russia perceive any compromises weakness and readiness to me before it. and if you negotiate on rush them, they will still consider that they dominate, including indian negotiation process. they can be pushed only they understand that the war is not going according to their script. given the, again, the scale of the operation of flu, it's like this is the full in move spike t if as they realize that they have lost the ground in the height of the region, they are still rapidly losing the ground in the dynette sk region. and generally all across the front, the situation is not right for, for your brain. and these games that they have made in the 1st page and on does that. they are trying to build that point. it seems like they're of only and it could be the finally short of the ukrainian authorities and they'll be ukranian. come on this back to deal with moscow. both the you and the u. s.
5:05 pm
claim that they were kept in the dark about this military operation by the ukrainian come on. but of the european union has repeatedly said that it resolves the rights for ukraine to defend itself, or however means necessary. so they have, in general, supported this intelligence. the you continues to fully support ukraine's legitimate right to defend itself against the russian aggression and its efforts to restore its sovereignty and territorial integrity. ukraine has a legal right to defend itself, including striking and aggressor on its territory. so united states as well have said that they will be reaching out to you for an, for an official place, for their official position. and just for, for a comment as to what exactly is going on. but again, they did not condemn what has been going on here. that you did not tool about my civilian casualties. they didn't know to about ambulance or at least one ambulance being hit. they did not talk about civilian cause and civilian homes being destroyed,
5:06 pm
and specifically targeted by the ukrainian now tillery and ukrainian small arms fire. they completely ignored the fact that during the 1st few days of incursion, a whole monastery was destroyed, while at least 15 people were taking shelter that it's not unusual for the ukrainians, not to notify us of their exact tactics before. um, before they execute them. sometimes we're in communications about them, sometimes we're not and that's, it's appropriate for them to make those decisions. all answered this way. nothing about our policy is change and with the actions that they are taking today, they're not in violation of a policy. so all of us need to made and especially american produce, then supplied weapons used to just destroy civilians, august, to kill civilians, to a life with military personnel that did not have fantasy violate any, any restrictions and anti red line that washington had previously put in front of t, of now, as for the russian official diplomatic reaction, well, of these folks women for the russian ministry of 4. and if, as marizza, how do i have said that,
5:07 pm
in fact this minutes are you in touch and does not really support and does not really reinforce kids. the previous uh was in previous intentions that they indicated that they wanted peace. all these bloody crimes are taking place against a background of cynical silence on the part of the west, which continues to cover up for its puppets and key of all. this only strengthens the sense of impunity, of the ukrainian neo nazis for confident that they can get away with any atrocity we call on the international community not to stand by enter resolutely condemn the criminal actions of the key of regime a lot is its vague here to phlegmatic late, but again, the russian chief of the general stuff i need to get asked him of on wednesday was very adamant and unequivocal about what russia intends to do here. and that is to throw the ukrainian on forces back to the, to the board. the rush would do is it does so when it does so,
5:08 pm
then it could be in that case, it is over. but again, we can not know what's on the secret maps on come on points. what lines generals on both sides have drawing on them, but we will sadly stand by here to reports on every development. locals from the embattled region are posting videos of their evacuation as they flee the tense areas, bullet written vehicles and damaged houses fill the scenes. here's just some of the footage. here we go and picked up some passengers with a dog along the way because more people won't come there, but there's no room with head machine gun noise today. that's why we decided to leave the noises probably from the drones. not sure they were flying around at night. yeah, definitely. i know with that, look windows shot to good car though. they really hate this place hod looked at this. oh my god, what's going on here? hold the wheels. i'll show out of windows to see all the cost of damage to that. so
5:09 pm
let's get out of here quickly with all the wheels. not showing all its windows still around about everything here is that much to call. so stand. they still look at this field. yeah. every face hits mine. do you see the mines lying around? yes, yes. costa, mine's the so many of them. well, you go the man, no preparation, whatsoever. isn't all the dumbest coffee? how much line the wrong color, the military? this is all done to deal as you vehicle. that's it. hopefully we'll get solid safely locating the windows here, broken big enough. i beat them so we live in the current in trip attack on the russian territorial border. the bel gorski monastery came under fire with several monks lucky to escape. here's how the monk i'm a let us,
5:10 pm
whose colleague eventually died describes the frightening experience. of course the most for next the i'm, they started showing while we were having list or g, the showing was most likely from a tank direct fire. we aren't supposed to stop the laser g and they did not stop either. they struck us from 8 to 11 in the morning. they burned down the new church next to us. we continue the service. there was nowhere to hide. there were no parishioners, they stopped coming long ago. during the showing, it became obvious that there was about a minute between the blows. i said, we must run this minutes. after 11, the drone attack started the realize through a hiding and started to hit the windows. we were in the basement for 24 hours. there was no light, you were running out of water. we decided to leave. all the cars were destroyed. drones were constantly flying the crane and not means a lot of damage. we climbed a tower in contact of course. we were told that we were surrounded. we decided to find all way out. we had elderly people with us, so we couldn't even foot, found
5:11 pm
a car and rushed off. they realized that we were coming and roll ready, waiting. ukrainian soldiers stopped us, demanded o documents. they took away my phone, my laptop, and started looking for anything related to the russian army. there was a man with me and come a flash. they put him face down the ground and wanted to kill them. but he was disabled. i showed them all our bags. they took all our equipment money, but there wasn't much as going the end were drawing to sujata. there was not a soul there. it took the left and slowly drove to course closer. but now we are preparing to bury a friend who is into call with me. he died. so you are paying gas prices have served following room, or is your current in troops of seems the key gas transit point and the cursed region benchmark features settled up for rising 4.8 percent over 38 year owes and megawatt hour the highest level since december, but the key transit point in question is the russian,
5:12 pm
the city of sewage in the border region, yes, prominence, you create internal part, both claim the flow of gas is stable and uninterrupted. this pipeline is the last remaining link to the pipeline, bringing russian gas to europe and via ukraine. the main recipients on the other side are slovakia, austria and hungary. let's cross live now to enjoy samuel a, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute, george ukraine at claims have taken control of the russian town sewage and the cursed border region, which is a major transit point for gas going from russia to europe. these reports have triggered a search and gas prices on your, in my european markets to the highest level this year. what do you make of that as well? i think it's obviously um, causing a serious um, uh, some sons in europe been hungry and, and uh, so the cab um, however,
5:13 pm
i don't think that this was the objective behind the ukrainian military operation. um, ukraine obviously wants to cut off all gas supplies to europe. i mean, has been slowly step by step, cutting gas supplies over to europe. and then of course we have all, they know what stream, what happened that, um uh, so this guy, you know, the, the objective behind the inside because they are very different. there are a number of different military objectives other than rough that ukraine is trying to. ready achieve, but i think that if ukraine, well, um, you know, basically driven by the need to cut off gas to your it could easily do it. i mean, the point is that they, the pipeline goes through ukraine and if you grade wants to cut off. uh will gas the your of it can do it without actually invading the cost region. it's an excellent point and gas problem and ukraine and as you credit and kind of part,
5:14 pm
both claim the gas flow has not been compromised despite those reports. now if we were to see an interruption in black gas flow, what could be the potential ramifications for european energy? i would say they would, they're very serious. i mean, and particularly in the country such as hungry as well. i can't because we already have a problem with oil and that, um, uh, with the ukraine sanctioning lube oil, which is preventing the flow of oil into hungry is refineries and, and therefore into slovakia is uh, oil supplies. so thats, you're already a problem going in as new you know, we had to was when to now if you're also going to cut off a gas supplies, then i think you're gonna have a very serious energy crisis and in east and central europe isn't. is it like the ukraine is actually trying to force gas problems hand to hold gas deliveries,
5:15 pm
and that would give them a chance to blame russia for depriving europe of energy of what i get it may be. but i think that again, i do think that you will be great and really wanted to cause it. yeah. so then it could do so without really having to force anyone's hand. they can just simply say we're cutting it off because word well with russia. so it doesn't really need to find any justification for doing so. so i really don't think that's what they did this in course. i mean, i think that it, it's a very dubious military strategy. i mean, it's obviously they're trying to, um, drive a russian forces out and distract them from their operations in the, in the bed scanner because they're trying to raise morale and you brave and correspondingly demoralize rock strip. but you know, if,
5:16 pm
if the gas supply was really an issue, they can just cut it off, but i just, they, they don't really need any justification pulled us. right. well, what about trying to get some of these neutral countries to take? you have a side because some of them, the main consumers of this gas for somebody, a hungry and austria brought a spot in. budapest have remained neutral. could you kindly try to force their hand? well i, i the not exactly mutual i mean, so the idea on hunger in not most of my, to us give us a walk in hungry have not really been on ukraine size. so buck and hungry have um, sold a, an immediate cease fire and totally conflict on the fact that being very angry about ukraine's use of energy as a, as a, as a weapon against them. i mean, it's like, you know, hungry is vociferously protested to the european union that ukraine is violating the terms of the ukraine
5:17 pm
e u association agreement by using the sanction of oil to co was the countries that are members of the european union. so they're not really taking the ukraine side, and if your brain was to, um, you know, basically cut off a gas supplies by, you know, seizing this and this gas metering station. um, you know, that will just be grist of the mil for your brain for so lucky and hungry and also as a what, what your brain is doing. your brain is clearly in violation of its uh use of it, sleep association agreement. how can we possibly negotiate with ukraine? any future membership of the european union? i mean, they then upset to be members of the european union. all right, well, live with our jar, samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. george, thank you. thank you. during the latest you and security council session,
5:18 pm
russia condemned ukraine's recent attack on the coast region and its military is use of western supplied weapons. moscow emphasize these actions are tied them out to state sponsored terrorism. the week of thursday, we are currently witnessing the terrorist methods 1st hand during the attacks by ukrainian militants on the course region. carried out with weapons supplied by the west. there was ample evidence online showing nationalists, deliberately targeting on arm civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. in short, they are acting just like their nazi predecessors from 80 years ago, whom they now idolized and they will meet the same inglorious. and meanwhile, the western supporters of the zalinski soon to not only refrain from criticizing its terrorist actions, but effectively justify them. this is a true terrorist coalition. information has repeatedly been voiced by us, corroborated by representatives from african states and european law enforcement agencies like europe, whole regarding western supplied weapons to ukraine,
5:19 pm
ending up in the hands of criminal and terrorist groups in various regions around the world. the deputy ambassador, dimitri pull janski's, spoke before the un security council, and condemned the attacks on cursed region showing that this was terrorism. russia also criticized western countries for their ties to terrorist networks around the world. their financing and training of various terrace throughout the world in particular, france was singled out for its ties to terrorism on the african cotton net. it was pointed out that the french government officials are, they have ties to terrorist networks throughout the african continents. and that, in addition to having these relationships with terrors, arming them, training them, financing them. this terrorism is then used as a pretext to justify military interventions by the very same western countries in
5:20 pm
particular. russia called out the ukraine for supporting terrorist groups in africa, citing recent incidence related to the country molly, where it appears that there were uh, forces that were attacked. and molly and ukraine admitted that they had provided the intelligence in order to do so. they later took back this confession among those targeted in mali were members the pmc wagner, group of fighters. here's what we heard, was it the there are blatantly agreed just instances where certain states openly flaunt their support for international terrorist organizations in africa. note where the are the direct statements by the official spokesman for the main intelligence director of the ukrainian ministry of defense, andre use of, and ukraine's, and bassett, or to senegal. if you are the people who are off about their country support for those who attacked molly and armed forces at the molly algeria border near the town of tens our team from july 25th to 27th. we emphasized that this attack was also carried out by
5:21 pm
a group of affiliated without kite. the reaction from sales states was swift, with an african in state, strongly condemned ukraine support for international terrorism on the continent, and its blatant interference in their internal affairs, the stabilizing the situation like this is molly and me share as known, have separate diplomatic relations with ukraine, because even western media are now publishing materials indicating that terrorist groups operating and molly, or trained and drone piloting and handling explosives under the guidance of ukrainian special services, both within ukraine and in terrorist controlled areas of molly. now it's also important to note that we heard from the us rep, and when he spoke, he defended the alliances of the united states. he condemned to terrorism in broad terms. and from there, he took a swing at russia. once again, he tried to politicize the global effort to eradicate terrorism.
5:22 pm
the growing threat of terrorism, especially in the middle east, is something we can only tackle effectively as a united global community. so in that vein, i call on russia to use its real and growing influence with terrace groups such as some us as buller and the who with these and with around the world leading state, sponsor of terrorism to end their terrace attacks which threatened to ignite a greater war in the region, there was a universal condemnation of terrorism from all the parties that spoke, but a very different understanding of what terrorism is and who is perpetrating terrorism around the world. a new wave of protest has gripped it, kinda in capital with people taken to the straits, demanding at president william re toes resignation. the

5:25 pm
in different towns in different cities, people to people this street saying that they are rejecting different months with di and of course with the pressure that was increased, we sold the government the present with the growing the contribution financially. and of course a number of schools have said that these finance b was not drafted in kenya was not drafted by canyons or fund drafted folk canyons . and assume that of course, it is, imagine that these fine months be that they will say that you may have one drafted by it may have to be able to, to get, to be able to collect taxes to be able to pay the huge amount of loans that we have owing to them. so all these properties and these, that purpose add add the only begun from the contribution for non to be they've been $24.00 weeks. is neglige, allegedly said that is from the i m if they oh, safety measure of what from the i m. if the, for all these problems,
