u. e. u, cutting natural gas in wars and an oil in was from russia, looking for alternative horses and africa. hopefully she did a nachos choice. global capital should be coming from that market. right. so then how quickly do you expect that the gas is time flowing north after years of under investment? it is also difficult. why did these gas flowing already from oh, dear, the potential hooker ish that so sahara gas, which is looking at booking, i do are up connected that all jerry with potentials of more export into europe. right. another of these 30000000000 cubic meter. but the true thing is how long. ready is it going to take to build that infrastructure and as the elephant in the room? and then i was going to ask you about that. that transparent pipeline, the share nigeria and algeria had said they've agreed a road map. but is this just a pipe dream do you thing how challenging is it going to be to get this project going either to the true position is the it's don't to be challenging because of the recent security problem with adding the sale now. but the true thing if with commitments and the 0 for the u. p. s, looking forward to that source is the reality is assured, we're talking about searching to $15000000000.00 of capital to be spent on this project. that's a lot of money, but it's not insurmountable, captain a cannot be found because the european buyers the european market and now was looking for tentative source of energy. an african naturally by proximity of, of distance is the natural choice. yeah, he talked about the security concerns in they have been security concerns over the years, especially in a country like nigeria, for example, which has struggled with armed globes and also disagreement over there that share the fair distribution of the oil wealth. do you think those security concerns have been addressed to allow this project to go ahead? the security concerns as it pertains to lie junior and this is an ongoing issue that will exist on a daily basis. it is not going to be an easy task, right? the biggest problem has been poverty. if you look at all the trouble spots

u. k u. s. e u armed israel, also investigated for legible crimes, is continued its bombing of damascus, according to syrian state media. joining me now from california is professor emeritus of international law at princeton university, and the former un special were up to our own. the situation of human rights in the palestinian territories, richard fork. professor falk welcome to going underground. you're a legend as far as you in special up which as go we've had many you in special ravages on. but you made you in special opportunity. what it is arguably is railey is then volunteering to join up with the legend though, denied by them neo nazi affiliated, ukrainian army. i better stop by asking you as a special repertoire on palestine. what the situation in russia, ukraine, is as regards parallels or the israel palestine, or rather than in the sense that the empathy and the i'll call ring of response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the russian invasion of ukraine. has produced something absolu

u e. u sanctions against russia could be adopted on wednesday, and the u. s. as it sanctions will also be imposed this week. president joe biden, once at vladimir putin to be put on trial for war crimes, had equal him reports from washington. where can really throw you as president joe biden had called russian president vladimir putin, a war criminal. now he's taking it a step further. so it happened. this war is a war, but we have to gather information. we have to provide you with the weapons, navy content, the fight, and we have been gather all the detail of the videos actually have a war car broil. this guy is brutal. what's happening with outrageous and every one food and the american people are seen it. the u. s. media tends to be very conservative when it comes to broadcasting human remains or not. now we're starting to see very disturbing images of the death that they have left behind. and we warn you, they are graphic. what they have left behind is sickening, and we should warn you so that some of the images of the scene are disturbing and are warning.

e. u sanctions against russia on german company's european parliament president, roberta, mit sola has met with ukraine's president zalinski on a surprise visit to cave. when sola pledged that the e u would increase its assistance to ukraine. the maltese politician as the 1st top e u official to visit since russia's invasion the european union has called on china not to help russia a wage war on ukraine or sidestep western sanctions. the warning came during the 1st summit between the you and china in 2 years since russia invaded ukraine, beijing has stood by moscow and still refuses to condemn the attack. it was the 1st summit between the you and china in 2 years. the goal assurances that china won't arm russia or help moscow evade western economic sanctions. european commission president or ssl of fonder lion said afterward, she had made an appeal based on simple math. let me remind you that every day shine on the european union trade, almost 2000000000 euros worth of goods and services and income parisian trade between shine on russia's only 300, some 330000000 euros per day. so a prolongation of the war and the disruption it brings to the world economy is therefore in no one's i

well, it is obvious that these weapons, which germany in particular supplied russia can u-e return to germany uay so more aggressive and what arguments do you have do you agree with this position or not u-e no definitely and it is necessary to say that in general most of the german intelligentsia and political elite and u-e the population is also in favor of this support, too , with heavy weapons and of course against these supplies, if there were any technologies that could be used for the army, there is a discussion about this, but i i would have said well, how do i think this is the general eh mainstream somehow still supports this decision, too, regarding the supply of heavy weapons eh for ukraine eh, so sometimes i also can’t. it seems to me that the german position is distorted what is happening in germany is also connected with the fact that it is germany it has its own big problems with the military and technical support of its army. this is a chip, but germany is now in the light of the war and aggression of russia against ukraine, and it is possible that this is the beginning against

u. s. and e u. k. are beginning to deliver, but germany, it's still very hesitant now. you've met german government representatives on a recent trip to berlin. what did you say to them and how did they respond? obviously, yeah, germany is moving and we've seen that very slow in the identification of this aggression. but i want to confirm after my today's work trip and meeting in germany and meeting all the key politicians in the german government. i can confirm that germans as a full and german government are united, which is pretty sell, laurie united in one front, it gives the russian aggression. we are getting incredible support from germans on humanitarian side. there are a lot of refugees. they've been taking in germany. you creating a refrigerator you, jeez, as well as with sanctions. i mean, the process is slow and it's never enough, but they're moving toward on the vacation of our, our mutual enemy. and that in this case is russian figuration. and this war that russia has has started. so even the process is slow, but we are moving together again. this aggression in germany is not an exception. and step with the credit together. but i'm here, love relations are, are, are, are your sang are going between germany and ukraine and your president followed the media to lansky and the german government. there's been a little bit of tension. am over at this parents know about the german president, frank about stein my what's your perspective on that? president stan meyer made huge mistakes in helping russia with what russia became today. he acknowledged he's mistakes. he confirmed it and made his open statements against aggression of russia war with russia and president put in particular i'm not going to criticize during this war and the president on the right hand side for his decision . and as well now seems the mistakes were confirmed by prisoners time are driven business by meyer and i believe, and i hope that this meeting with the president, by mar, driven president and chris prisons. lensky are going to take place in next coming days or weeks here in q. okay, we will leave it there. vladimir kitch, go in, keith, thank you. thank you very much, and please keep supporting us. thank you. you're watching d w. news. here's a reminder of our main stories. u. s. president joe biden has approved $800000000.00 an additional military assistance to ukraine. the package includes heavy artillery as the country prepares to defend against a massive russian assault expected in eastern ukraine. ukraine says, ukraine said, well that's it. from the services of technical issues here. ukraine says it's missiles have not the flagship of russia's black sea fleet. out of commission. russia has only acknowledged that fire on board seriously damaged the missile. fraser. well that's it from me for this hour of next. he told you business with stephen beardsley and remember you can get older latest news on our website, dw. gov, talk. com. i'll be back at the top of the next hour. take care. ah ah, what does war do to people are hatred and violets inherited from generation to generation and award winning documentary searches for answers for 2 years. the author accompanies us sell a fist family.

u. e o u b corolla in daniel al should says, unit an officer who was called father, she told by his men, wrote a glowing letter to his parents. he yeah, lou, the recruits behavior is always exemplary, and that fight is heroic. when confronted about this, he replied, every mother's own son must be the best soldier of all. i do oh no. the letters sent by the soldiers, families to the front was censored by n k, vd. the secret police wanted to make sure to keep troops in the dark about problems at home. these included news of shortages refugees who had to sleep on the floor or even the death of a cousin or neighbour. mm cash. on january 6th, 1942, following the victory in moscow, starlen launched a daring move he ordered 5000000 soldiers to conduct 10 counter offensive along the entire front. all of these counter offensives ended in failure living conditions, the soldiers continued to deteriorate. when it came to supplies, vodka deliveries took priority of food, the exhausted from battles in the freezing cold winter. the soldiers suffered from diseases and malnutrition. many became infested

u. s. the e. u and others found russian, seafood imports over the ukraine invasion and today again in our hands were very expensive a couple of months ago because we didn't have enough supplies from russia. but recently the suppliers increased and the prices become much cheaper. i can say that usually 100 people visit the market, but now the weather is getting warmer and about 200 people are coming in a day. while plunging prices for russian crop of south koreans flocking to sea food markets and restaurants. some consumers are question whether to boycott the imports on concerns. the purchase indirectly support rushes, invasion of ukraine. people on board, russian crab is not even a necessity. i don't think it's right to import from russia and eat them because they're cheap. so i oppose importing them, and i think we should impose sanctions against russia and join the others for a quick end to the war. and somehow another the test will be whether south koreans will set aside their appetite for crop.

u. c. e u high representative is expected to address the media in this hour. we'll bring it live to you and it happens. now you cranes, president vladimir lansky says this way could be one of the most crucial yet as russia refocuses it's offensive in the east. but he's telling the south south korea's parliament by video link, his forces are ready. he believes russia soldiers of deeply demoralized douglas. he loves you more than 3000 rockets, have been fired by russia on ukrainian cities. but the worst thing is how russia using people to wage this war. the people of the russian federation have to live in abject poverty. they can't afford the basics of decent food and education. they've no guarantee of human rights throughout their whole life. the only chance of improvement could happen by chance alone. but coming into the war, 10000 russian troops were shocked by the normality of ukrainian life by ukrainian cities where the peaceful population lived. they were shocked. we had decent food. a huge number of the russian occupies had never seen this in their own life or so they had al jazeera ah, losing patience with pandemic log downs, anger's directed and officials in the chinese city of shanghai. ah, hello there. it's all about the scorching heat. as we look to south asia, not just for northern areas of india, but for much of pakistan as well. and we're going to see a little bit of cloud cool things down very slightly in new delhi. but by the time we get to friday, we are expecting to touch 40 once again with hot and dry conditions. and those will spread across central areas, temperatures touching up into even the mid forties in some places, the relentless heat continuing here. but some relief we have to head to the south, we got some shop storms pulling into corolla around the southern tip of india and some shop. a thunderstorms were colombo as the wet weather moves across for lanka. by wednesday we will see the renewed funder storm warnings for the northeast corner of india. places like a thumb seeing some of the heavier fools. and as we move across to east asia, well for china, we have got se wessa, whether stretching across central areas pulling across the korean peninsula towards northern areas of japan. and that's not a lot of warmth out of beijing. it's going to do a similar story for shanghai. you can see a dramatic drop of about 10 degrees by the time we get it's wednesday. but for hong kong, it manages stay dry, nearly touching 30 degrees celsius. ah, with the talk to al jazeera, we oh, so what is the time table in your mind? when do you think you can be off russian gas? we listen or, and i have seen and played football with these refugees. i look at them and they're happy. they smile in we meet with global news makers and talk about the store restock matter on al jazeera. we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. no matter what you see with the news and kind of for that matter to you. lou. ah, welcome back to watching al jazeera reminder of us thought top stories this al august army national assembly has chosen chabad sharif as the new prime minister, shareef succeeds in ron khan, who was ousted in a no confidence vote. more than 100 m. p, 's with cons. pakistan to speak and soft party resigned, protest against his removal. russia's foreign minister says, statements by the use top diplomat on supplying ukraine with weapons will change the rules of the game. so gay lab, rob says your sub barrels remarks confirmed the ear is building a kind of collective military structure. faladore zion skis told south korea's parliament this week could be one of the most crucial in the war against russia. president says, ukraine's forces will continue to fight back against the invasion. the fighting is ruining ukraine's economy. the world bank predicts ukraine's market could shrink by 45 percent this year. just last month in 2 national monetary fund projected it to be far less. poverty is expected to increase the proportion of the population living on just 5 and a half dollars a day is likely to go up to 9020 percent compared to less than 2 percent last year . well, because of sanctions rush has taken the hit to the world bank believes its g. d p will decline by a little over 11 percent. timothy ash is a sovereign strategist with blue bay asset management. he says, the long term economic effects of the war will be significant in both countries. russia could come out far worse. a 45 percent loss of g d p in ukraine is $90000000000.00, a 11 percent in russia. it's a much bigger economies. 200000000000. the ukraine themselves of estimated the 500000000000 loss in terms of infrastructure. you know, schools, hospitals, railways, industrial enterprises. i mean, pretty terrible. i mean, in the ukraine states, i mean, you know, we assume that the government in kiev will remain pushing, tried to dislodge that administration. he failed his best case. he's trying to take as much of the 30, but the will be a ukraine left after this. and what's clear is the west will provide huge amounts of financing to help its reconstruction. ukraine is also got a green light. now in terms of e, u membership, which i think will be really important. and because so i think the crane is actually of shown, remarkable innovation to survive this, you know, 67 weeks later, overwhelming odds. and that means to me, i can see ukraine having almost states of israel moment, you know, i mean, facing huge adversity. and yet they survived, and i think they could prosper with western school for russia. the outlook is terrible. i mean, i think because of this, functions will remain for a long time. the west will, will cut russia out of its supply chains. it will go into default full default very shortly. it will be out to the international capital markets for a decade. no financing, no capital inflows, no investment brain drain, falling, living standards. you know, actually the losses to russia. because of this, over the long term could be much higher than ukraine's actually put in, is taking russia into an air of darkness. from an economic perspective, the french president, emmanuel mcroy, is

so for example, you e, a u s. u a and many less, but the media did not a present. i think though the american me sure i d e a n a b c a u. so that's why i think we need to a well doctor, why do we have to leave it here? thank you very much for your insights today. thank you. thank you. so much and thank you for watching hope to hear again on, well, the part ah with mm ah, with there are 2 kinds of conflicts being fought in ukraine, a western design in controlled propaganda war targeting russia and a russian military campaign. but it's changing the security dynamics of the european continent. and western propaganda is hell bent on escalation. a need to do some key mr. reform or didn't want to be awesome with war. love only deal with little boys will.

u. s. has handled all this. you know, i think the e u has been sacrificed for the us is a game plan against russia. and i think the people that you are going to see that as time goes on, germany has warned that anyone publicly supporting rushes operation in ukraine could face legal repercussions. and the warning extends to anyone even displaying the letter the to symbolise support as the letters being used to distinguish russian vehicles in the war. rushes war of aggression against ukraine as a criminal offense. anyone publicly approving the war may be liable to prostitution and germany. the supplies to using the z symbol to german security authorities are keeping an eye on the use of the symbol blends may have raises disturbing parallels creases right wing military dictatorship in the sixties and seventies. also bands the letter since history for a progressive youth group as the 1969 movie, they expose the films a critical take on the johns. i wish band everything from letters of the alphabet to 19th century russian writers like fear th

u. s. the culprit and leading instigator of the ukraine crisis for its role in nato's expansion since the cold war and the president. she jin ping was more subtle when addressing the e. u officials long day china has maintained the consistency and continuity of its e u policy. we hope that you can form its own perception of china, adopt an independent china policy and worked with us for the study and sustained development of china. you relations goshen, where russia's war has brought the e you closer together and shown how far away other powers such as china are on foreign policy. if i'm all the summer now we want to go to brussels. our correspondent barrett rieger. he's been covering this forest good evening to you, barrett. so the question is, has the european union succeeded in getting china to commit to not helping russia in its war against ukraine? no, the you was only able to make its case said yearned the summit. but got no concrete answers from president. she in b jing the, you demanded that the china should join the you in the west in sanctions, again the aggressor, russia, or at least on circumvent the sanctions. but to president, she answered with a kind of a counter proposal. he said that you should detach from the close ally united stat

e u. member states, and e u countries. how long are they allowed to stay? what is the status currently in germany per specifically? it's under the 23rd of may, and that's where the government said they would announce by then when they would take any further measures or extend their stay. and that, you know, keeps anyone in the and no, and students who have done medical studies for 6 years and ukraine and their, and the last semester. well, going a future. yeah. they're waiting for them. and also what kind of psychological support they have currently to be able to apply or what kind of legal support they have to go and register and go through the process of the application which mostly also in german. so they face a lot of barriers and they need support, just like any other recognition. and you mentioned the students say people who were in ukraine studying the idea was to get a qualification. those studies have been interrupted. what can be done to assist people in disposition? i think, well, 1st of all, provide a legal framework, but also universities should

u. s. from the u. k. and from the e. u. we seen similar situations in the past when u. s. army were used by libyan in syrian opposition groups. but what happens when those conflicts are over or seemingly over? oh, where did the weapons go? iraq church, it's a long time before these contracts are over. as you know, in afghan, a santa went on for 20 years, and it could good much longer. in libya, what we did was supply a lot of weapons to people who in turn. so some 2 other insurgencies of and terrors groups and others throughout africa and elsewhere. and of course, our efforts in afghanistan armed in effect against the soviets isis, or i'll should say al cater and then later isis. so he things have low back effects . ah, heaping in mine, he didn't have these amps industry, so it would be wrong to say they didn't invade ukraine. cooking did that. however, they, in their people, they were influencing and the government were willing to risk a war like this coming from their policies, which were in fact provocative. in terms of making it likely that the russians, any russian

and that could be even more on the way we've heard from both the e u m, the u. k. that they are still possibly more sanctions that could be leveled against russia. and as we know. ringback those sanctions do have a blow back for countries in the west, the ones who are imposing them in the 1st place. so if there are more sanctions than they could be bigger problems yet to come, i shall japan scheme any thanks for that updates. i mean, while the head of the international monetary funds say, is western sanctions against russia threatened to erode the dominance of the us dollar a crystelina, georgia of us a, there's a global trend towards other currencies playing a big role. the unprecedented financial sanctions imposed on russia after its invasion of ukraine threatened to gradually dilute the dominance of the u. s. dollar and result in a more fragmented international monetary system. want to discuss this less costly to human rights and a human, a labor rights lawyer down cuz i like many thanks to joins in the program. it's great to see don and what's your take on the

bills along with many of the hikes, and they could be even more on the way we've heard from both the e u m b u k. that they are still possibly move sanctions that could be leveled against russia. and as we know, those sanctions do have a blowback for countries in the west, the ones who are imposing them in the 1st place. so if they're almost sanctions than they could be bigger problems yet to come. meanwhile, the head of the international monetary fund stays western sanctions against russia, threatened to erode the dominance of the us dollar. crystelina. georgia of us as there is a global trend towards other currencies playing a bigger role. the unprecedented financial sanctions imposed on russia after its invasion of ukraine threatened to gradually dilute the dominance of the u. s. dollar and result in a more fragmented international monetary system. a us human and labor rights lewis a is european states. the fed up with being used by washington against russia. you know, as i've said, for years the u. s. is going to sanction itself out of the world economy. and that we see that happening. you

u. s. e u and other countries who have been taken, providing significant support for the ukrainians and russia is saying if you continue with that, you have to expect that as far as our energy supplies to you are concerned. you with how to play by our own rules from now all worse. all right, thanks so much. ha, ha, ha, ha, man, about other 5 weeks into the invasion. ukraine says russian troops are withdrawing from the north and areas around the capitol. and appleton has damo northwest of kid that was seized by moscow's forces is now empty. but damaged russian troops are pulling back from the northern city of children have, after shelling it for days, the latest talk. so on the way virtually russian and ukrainian negotiators have held several rounds with no concrete results. and the red cross is leading an evacuation of civilians from mario pl. but it's unsure if a can be delivered around $100.00. 60000, remain trapped with little food, water, or shelter. that's spring insane basra, but he's live for us from live. so zane, 1st of all, how much of a pull back is really going on from around cave? well that's the question that ukrainian officials have been trying to answer and really trying to keep an eye on for the last several days after talks missed on bull. russia said that because things were headed in the right direction is inactive. good faith. they will be pulling back from areas like keys and trying to get pulling out of areas around the capital. but everything we've heard from ukrainian officials, as well as their intelligence counterparts in western allied countries, is that russia was not pulling back, it was regrouping. it was refocusing its efforts, and in some cases it was even escalating its attacks in the places that said it was planning to leave. but in the last 24 hours, just in the last day we've been hearing from you, printer officials, observable facts on the ground. they say that they are seen russian forces pull back from areas around keith as well as trying to give, but the original governor of trying to give has said that this is no time to let regard down. there still remains the threat of russian air strikes of russian showing of russian missile attacks. and to that effect, we have been hearing reports of ukrainian forces are maintaining an aggressive footing. they are continually. ready carry military operations on russian forces as they leave these areas and they are having some success in terms of getting back territory. we've heard reports of towns and villages around it, even the suburbs if keep being re taken by you can enforce this and most importantly, as you mentioned, the international airport and north of ki, possible international. ready airport, a major point for a large cargo planes to land, an important strategic asset that russia one in the early days of the war, the 1st day of the war. if you'll remember, it was one of the 1st instances that we heard and saw the russian boots on the ground around the capital. so very important strategic victory for rush at the time . but now we have reports that it has been re taken by ukraine, and it's back in ukrainian control. i, we're going to talk about mario fall as well. have a way, how are the evacuation shaping up their that's really the city that has been the main focus for several weeks now in terms of conflict zones that need immediate humanitarian relief, 90 percent of that city destroyed. according to the mayor of my uncle, he said that that whole city needed a humanitarian evacuation urgently. and he called for that days ago, we're hearing now that the i c r. c, as an intermediary between russia and ukraine, does have 54 buses on route. that's what we've been watching throughout the day. 54 buses, going into that area, trying to pull people out. now and last count was a 160000 people that were stuck there that needed help that needed to be evacuated . we do know that the mario for city council is hoping in the next 24 hours to evacuate at least 2000 people. so this is really the beginning of a very long drawn out evacuation campaign. but the i, c r c has. ready positive, it's been posting on its social media about how their progress is going, but the moment we're still waiting to see how far along they are on that journey, we're still waiting for any update on how far people are in terms of getting for out of mario pl. 2 safer locations in ukraine, or i'm thanks so much. same by solving well, bernard smith has more now on the efforts of people to escape multiple. most people who've left mario full, had to make their own way out. pavel says he's used to the walking. he's a shepherd, but you love that it says kinswoman, we've got 35 kilometers to go. he says he and his wife yanna, heading to their village, away from the fighting. they hope around a 140000 people have escaped mario pole in the 5 weeks since the start of what russia calls its special military operation. but not every one made it to safety. those that do find themselves in reception centers in russia or something like this in don yet that, that would usually so little nibble. why did we come, you know, fuel because it became too hard. we were exhausted. i took julia, she hasn't been outside at all for a month because she was scared, very scared. and we went on foot, a group in a column until we reached the edge of the city and shooting and bombing. but we made a thank god the people, al jazeera spoke to said they're here either because the only route they could find out of mary apple brought them this way. or because they relatives in russia. then you know which send them when of course i want to go home because i have a flat there. so i want to return to my beloved city where i was born, where my daughter remains, and all my friends and relatives, all my life was spent in mary apple. oh, you both went on holiday to mary awful. when she was 18 years old, there she tells us. she fell in love. i got married and has lived for 50 years. it was a perfect city. she says, luna nisa that he is that we must make pace with each other. we learn these words grads, machine, guns, women, children, why do they need to know those words? it is better to learn other words, those of you pace love, respect towards each other, but not machine guns. when your flight is on fire or the car, that's not real pain. the real pain is that we have been torn apart from the reception centers, people will go either to relatives in russia or temporary accommodation that can be hundreds of kilometers away. no one knows when they'll be able to go back home to mario and the red cross as asked the russian government for permission to open an office here in rust off on dawn to service. easton, ukraine. we're about a 90 minute drive from the border. an indication perhaps that this won't be a short term conflict. bernard smith, al jazeera roster. honda ukraine's president vladimir zalinski is wanting. russia is consolidating and preparing powerful strikes in the countries east and south. russian forces have faced tough resistance in their battle for hurricane. the 2nd largest city in the country should warn you this report by acid bay contains some distressing images right from the start. there's only death here. bodies of young russian soldiers lying unclaimed, apparent victims of port tactics or so the ukrainians. tell us what you consume real for lou. it was very intensify and our guys at high morale, a special operation was plan together with a 92nd brigade. they flanked this position and then cleared her. the russians had poor defensive positions, see the enemies exposing them to ukrainian artillery. this was a russian defensive line. all along. here you have what's left over of this intense battle burnt out. tanks, weapons left behind grenades. they didn't even have time to take some of their data. everywhere we look, they are signs of battle and fear of chemical attack, ukrainian soldiers salvage what's left. the village of mother or hon is back under ukrainian control, but the cost has been high. a fierce battle pushed the russians away from the gates of her keith, cause it just did last was 21 year old guinea has been awarded. ukraine's highest honor for destroying 5 tanks and other heroics during battle. he tells us it's the 1st time he'd come across the use of phosphorus, the highly flammable chemical thought, but also blah, blah. but it was my 1st experience with phosphorus. air strikes are no scary as the phosphorus. first they use the air strikes, then the phosphorus below eyes were burning. i couldn't breathe through my nose. it was like really difficult to bridge and those are the same equipment was burning. jessica was bad the thing and below now we can't independently verify. it's use this is one of the main streets in this village. i just completely destroyed every building, every window. everything that you see has some sort of damage. the bullet holes in the doors, the windows have been blown at the bricks all over the place. and we've been told that we can only stick to this main road because everywhere around hasn't been completely de mine because the fear is that the russians have left mines and booby traps behind for the ukrainian soldiers taking this place. but as you seek, there's not much left. i said, bake algebra outside hockey if the nuclear wash, sylvia sending a team of technical aspect experts to the novel nuclear power plant in ukraine, which has been seized by russian forces bail, assess the safety and security of the facility. we see this, of course, as a step in the right direction. we are going to be there very, very soon because there is intern when there is a lot of work to be done. and so we hope to be able to start this technical work in this area that i was addressing in the previous questions while he challenged has more from london. now the announcements that he made at this press conference, whether he would personally be heading an i a assistance and support mission to the to novel nuclear power plants to what basically as soon as possible. and this will be the 1st such mission to ukrainian power plants and nuclear power plants in general, of course, to novel had fallen to the russians in the 1st day of their invasion. and they have been concerns about the safety of the crew who are working there around the clock not being allowed to rotate personnel for many, many days. also concerns for the safety of the facility itself. now ref grossey says that there has been an agreement reached separately with both the ukrainians and the russians. now the russians have the accordion say left, that novel power plant retreated back across the border. so to novel is now back in the hands of the ukrainians. and grossey is saying that there will be an assistance program agreed with the russians that will go into novel. they will be offering advice and supports, they'll be offering equipment. they have agreed about i, a experts on sites and a rapid assessment mechanism for if an emergency situation happens. of course he says he hopes that it doesn't already. he says they have delivered some equipment. the rest of that plan begins next week. as the west puts pressure on raw shades, foreign minister sergey live, rob is headed to new delhi for talks with his indian allies. india is one of the few countries that's increased to business with moscow since the invasion of ukraine. lab rav says, he hopes trade with india can bypass the use of the us dollar, sang russian money was being stolen overnight. this d. o. wisdom, gorgeous, would love to reduce any meaningful international issue to the crisis in your great, you know, position. we do not say anything good. we appreciate that it is taking this situation in the industrial fits not just you know, want so that way elizabeth, foreign them has more from new delhi now. so gay laval said that for many years now that russia has been working with india, with china, and with other countries to establish these alternate payment systems using national currencies for those reasons. because he said that it is not that western nations have not been reliable. and that this is now the time to intensify all of these efforts. and in fact, officials from the russian and indian central banks have been meeting this week or to work on those alternate payment systems and how to use banks which are immune to us sanctions. so gala rav also spoke about what he described as a very close relationship and friendship with india. and he said that he appreciated, and here's what he called. and he is an independent foreign policy that they respect each other's mutual interests. and that sentiment really on the line there discussions on friday, on regional and on international issues. and again said that with the west imposing sanctions on russia that they are not bound. he said by the markets that they are open to looking at other markets to creating these other markets. and again that they are ready to sell are what ever indian needs. the war in ukraine is front and center of talks between china and the european union. brussels is pressing beijing for assurances. it will neither supply russia with arms nor help moscow circumvent western sanctions. the virtual summit is also aimed at diffuse in growing tensions between the 2 sides. so we also made very clear that china should, if not support, at least not interfere with our sanctions. we discuss that, and also the fact that no european citizen would understand any support to russia ability to wage war. moreover, it would lead to a major reputation or reputational damage for china. here in europe, dominic cane has mall from berlin. you officials have says on the sidelines of this summit that they are aware of the fact that the level of trade between china and russia and between china and the e. u. well, the trade with the u. dwarves, the trade with russia 10 times greater amounts of hundreds of millions of dollars. the interesting thing is that now the summit is over. we've been hearing from us from the lion, the president of the european commission that also sean. he said the president, being canceled president on the lion has been saying that people need to realize that the world has moved on as a consequence of the war and ukraine. nothing will ever be the same as it was before. and the one that appoints that she is a colleague president show we're trying to impress upon the chinese government, is that there needs to be an adherence to the rules based system on the line saying direct me to the media after this summit. that's the reality is the place for countries to resolve their differences is around the negotiation table. not on the battle front, on the battlefields, all eastern and northern ukraine. but the interesting thing is how much that will have been listened to. t

the e u and u. s. were quick to accuse rush out of war crimes after images of dead bodies on the streets emerged in the media. moscow has dismissed those allegations as a provocation, meant to derail the peace talks independent political analyst under bruno says, zalinski should have made some concessions, including recognizing crimea and the don't bass republics long before the war. independent political analyst, i was under bruno, who we just mentioned there, did saying that the lensky should have made some of those can sessions about crimea and john bass, long before the war started. as i just mentioned, if a proper diplomatic solution were truly sought for and if zalinski truly had the ability and that willingness. and of course the permission to do it, he would have done so before the war began. i don't really think he's in charge. this is the, in the entire problem. there is no interlocutor on the other side for, for the russians to seriously negotiate a treaty that would allow for an exchange of

u. s. and e. u. as regular people struggle to cope with skyrocketing costs, that i should will not close the book. the aim of the western countries was to quickly destabilized the financial and economic situation in russia to provoke panic on the markets to make the banking system collapse and to create a massive shortage of goods in our stores. but we can now confidently say that this policy has not worked. the strategy of economic blitzkrieg has failed. furthermore, the sanctions have now swung back to hit the initiators themselves. i mean, the inflation unemployment rates, the plummeting economic dynamics in the u. s. and in europe, leading to we decrease of their living standards, the valuation and so on. russia has withstood this unprecedented pressure. the situation is stabilizing. the ruble is now being traded as it was in the 1st half of february and is being defined by a positive trade balance. you leaders have suggested that people cut down on their personal spending in an effort to cope with the certain prices as western governments seek to cut and russian energy imports. germany's agriculture minister who is a vegetarian, has even suggested that people eat less meat to help them make ends meet in german newspaper has said that skipping a shower might also help reduce dependence on russian energy supplies. but some you officials have admitted that the sanctions against moscow are having a severe effect on the cost of living in europe. as france struggles with its highest inflation rate in 3 decades, there are warnings that potential energy sanctions against russia could burden europe ev

u. s. and e u announced a deal to boost l. n. g supplies to europe by the end of the year, and the mid wave after wave of sanctions on russia. so you members have been forced to reconsider the green agenda revert to using coal as they work their alliance on brushing gothic are these donald quarter explains fear p and union painful losses for the green agenda and frances recent presidential election, the greens didn't even get the 5 percent needed to reimburse campaigning costs. and in germany, a choice between harming vladimir putin and sticking to sacred green principles. spoiler alert, berlin chose the 1st one and decided to return to call so much for what world leaders were saying just a few months ago. countries are turning their back on coal. the end of coal is in sight. on the contrary, coal is returning with a vengeance. why? the west is willing to go to any lengths to heart russia over its special operation in ukraine, even if it means playing dirty and replacing russia natural gas, not with solar panels, not with wind mills, but with dirty old coal. there is a temporary role for coal, which we had hoped would be out of the energy mixed by the end of this decade. but it will stay longer. we will need it until we find alternative sources until the time even the greenest government will not phase out coal, italy, romania, bulgaria, greece, among others are all reviving their call industries, even the world's greenest utility company, or stead is now stock piling. coal, however much we hate it, we are very likely going to see a temporary increasing coal use compared to the trajectory that we have been in for countries that can't extract enough coal at home, they're already ramping up imports from coal, extracting countries like the u. s. australia and indonesia, $27.00 countries said they would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 55 percent by 2030. and they're back in the coal mines. it looks like the eaves head is in the sand at the same time because brussels is telling everyone all as well. what we will do in the next couple of weeks is work towards what i call the re power you initiative. and as part of that, we want to accelerate the energy transition. the core of what i'm offering is a long term strategic relationship that starts with ellen. g then quickly moves also into renewables, especially high region shipping american alan gee, across the atlantic to save the environment really with the environmental harm caused by chilling shipping and re gas or flying natural gas. these countries might as well just use coal. just ask the experts building even more l n d export terminals would lock in fossil fuel infrastructure and pollution for decades to come. so who wins out from the west? stubborn attempt at spiting

broadband bills along with many other hikes and they could be even more on the way we've heard from both e u, b, u k, that they are still possibly more sanctions that could be leveled against russia. and as we know, those sanctions do have a blow back for countries in the west, the ones who are imposing them in the 1st place. so if there are more sanctions than they could be bigger problems, yet to come. the head of the international monetary fund, say, is western sanctions against russia. threatened to a wrote the dominance of the us dollar. crystelina. georgie ever says there's a global trend towards other currencies playing a bigger role. the unprecedented financial sanctions imposed on russia after its invasion of ukraine threatened to gradually dilute the dominance of the u. s. dollar and result in a more fragmented international monetary system. well, to discuss this, let's cross live to see rob, good sigh, asia, pacific strategic and economic policy specialist. thank you for joining us on the program. it's good to see you as i was your take on the global economic effects of these sanctions.

so for example, e, e, a u s u a and many war but the need is not a present. i think though the american, me a voice a, b, c, a u. so that's why i think we need to read a. all right, well dr. why don't we have to leave it here? thank you very much for your insights today. thank you. thank you so much and thank you for watching hope to see you again on world apart ah with mm ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk with neither worlds gets used. multi polos, we've multi level institutions. the un chief calls for multi polarity in the world during his 1st visit to russia. since the conflict began in the trip itself has seen the secretary general facing criticism from western countries for simply talking to moscow. germany and i says it will after all, provide key with anti aircraft while the you case armed forces

u. s. government to sanction specific people identified as corrupt or human rights abusers. different versions of the law have already spread to the e. u, the u. k. canada and many other countries. and it's been a real foreign in the side of russian president vladimir putin since day one. so how and why did putin become so obsessed with this law? and how is it being used in russia and beyond? today we're talking with to the people who've been personally involved in the magnet ski act from the beginning. congressman jim mcgovern is a democrat who has represented massachusetts in congress for more than 25 years. and wrote this circ a magnet sky rule of law accountability act and introduced its follow up the global magnets act in 2016 and build router. the founder of hermitage, capital management, whose company was at one time, the largest foreign portfolio investor in russia. it's his lawyer, sergey magna ski, who allegedly was killed in a rush in jail in 20 o 9, setting off the chain of events that leads us to today. bill has just published his 2nd book telling his story, and it reads like a real thriller freezing order, a true story of money

in e u. a u. s. charge has ordered, former honduran president, one orlando hernandez to be detained, pending a possible bale application. the order came at hernandez, its 1st appearance in a new court, a day after being extradited to the u. s. prosecutors accused him of receiving millions of dollars from drug traffic, his while in office from 2014 to january. this year. he denies the allegations. gabriel is on dhl, reports from you it's rare that you see a former president or head of state being drugged to the united states in handcuffs and facing justice. and that's exactly what we saw here on friday. hernandez, 1st appearance here in federal court was via video link because of covert restrictions. it only lasted about 15 minutes or so, and he appeared on the video link and he only said a few words. yes, your honor in spanish a few times when he was asked if he understood what was being said to him, it was a pretty quick appearance where the, basically the charges against him by the government we

e r strong supporters of international and oh, we have oh, a challenging china's india's leading trading partner with 12 percent of total indian trade. that's followed by the u. s. with 11.7 percent. the e u is in 3rd place with $62800000000.00 euros worth of trade or 11 percent of total indian trade. this will be the 1st such technical agreement for india and the 2nd for the youth. so far it's only set up a similar mechanism with the u. s. d. you hopes that trade can keep the relationship between india and europe warm that get more this from d w as charo cartucker in delhi charo. what does this joint trade and technology council entail? well, it's a, it's a one of a kind of arrangement as was the wonderland herself announced that you only has one pitcher, inventor and that is with a us. so she kind of, you know, underline how significant it is that the european union has opened the arrangement with india. now this is largely to sort out all bottlenecks on trade and technology collaboration issues. and significantly, what she mentioned was, this is going to be a sort of an institution that will take care of political bottlenecks in the deepening of the trade and technology relationship. r

and they could be even more on the way we've heard from both the e u m b u k. that they are still possibly move sanctions that could be leveled against russia. and as we knew. ringback those sanctions, we do have a blow back for countries in the west, the ones who are imposing them in the 1st place. so if they're almost function, then they could be big problems yet to come. the executive vice president of the eurasia center says that sanctioning russia, such an integral part of international supply chains, could cause a global economic lapse. well, i think the, you know, we, we know about the energy side. i mean, the huge impact on energy. and i understand that the u. s. is trying to get the europeans and others not to buy and boycott rushes, gas and their energy. so what's going to, what's going to happen it'll, it'll force further, economic hardship, not just energy prices but, but that will ripple into the manufacturing community manufacturing sector in, in europe. the other side is, is food we talked about food, 50 percent of the food comes from that region
