so where in the west of russia, western parts of russia, they are participating in this war, but not on a large scale. so russia is preparing for a war of attrition. we're seeing this war of attrition happening and ukraine needs much more weapons to be able to stand for a long time to be able to try and recapture maybe some cities in the south at the moment. i think you can ukraine will be winning this at this moment if it can stop the russian advance. so stopping russians in the south, stopping them in the eastern donbas would be a victory for the moment for ukraine, i think just to add perhaps to that at the same time. it's also a strategic communication operation as was said towards the west to convey the impression at the same time. it's also a strategic communication operation well, your supporters futile, it doesn't make any sense because we can throw as much soldiers and as much materials into the war as we want, which is to some extent, of course overblown because russia had some very heavy casualties. 24,000 soldiers, as estimated by the british side. so this is also a commu

it's no longer russia. and that is, of course, who you mediating for russia. and the same thing will happen with china. is china, again, is much stronger than russia. so what you could see there is that russia is losing its status as a superpower, because it exhausts itself in the ukraine. it is not going to in this will, it is, will be a post date of afterwards. and that was on show and at this meeting now looking at turkey, i think that for ad one, u. s. in fact, is more important than russia, the whole safety of turkey basis, let him in the end on the support of the united states. but of course, you know, what to add on, tries to do is to somehow it and be an independent power between russia and in the united states to get some leverage points there. and of course, he wanted to have an agreement on north syria because he wants to evade there. but that is something that the iran and russia won't agree to. and i want to pick up on exactly that point in just a moment. but 1st, let's take a closer look at biden and put in middle eastern speed, dating in search

. russia is 300 year relationship with the west is rapidly coming to an end. russia shipping. it's attention to the east and global south rushes game is the wes lost with cross sucking the west split with russia. i'm joined by my guest, earl rasmussen in minneapolis. he's the executive vice president of the racial center in brussels. we have gilbert carro, he is an independent, political analyst, and author of memoirs. i'm an ex pat manager in moscow during the 19 ninety's annual gown suite cross to janice buchanan. he is chief editor of m b media. right gentlemen, costs are gross and effect. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciated gilbert. let me go to you 1st and brussels that i paint too much of a pessimistic picture in my introduction. the end of russia, 300 year relationship with the west because the sanctions, at least the american ones will probably never go away. europe, we'll see how it goes. they're very, very much divided and is that as long as they are divided, those sanctions won't go away. the split is real and it's meaningful. and i do

i think cutting ties with russia — russia. i think cutting ties with russia is— russia. i think cutting ties with russia is perhaps not on the table at all— russia is perhaps not on the table at all and — russia is perhaps not on the table at all and has never been. and i don't _ at all and has never been. and i don't think— at all and has never been. and i don't think it will be. all of us have — don't think it will be. all of us have to — don't think it will be. all of us have to live with this fact that there — have to live with this fact that there are _ have to live with this fact that there are some of us who will have multiple _ there are some of us who will have multiple and different relations with our— multiple and different relations with our friends across the geography. and i think all countries have that _ geography. and i think all countries have that to some extent. and i think— have that to some extent. and i think that — have that to some extent. and i think that is the way the world is structured — think that is the way the world is

as you know, and russia signed the $40000000000.00. and gas corporation agreement today, and that was discussed in the meetings in the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be in situation for both sites. it's going to be good for the people to flip countries. now in an exclusive interview to our team editor in chief earlier this week, rushes foreign minister underlined moscow is not worried about the use desire to separate self from russia's energy supplies. sir gala. ralph also spoke about the potential for peace talks with ukraine. i need a shuttle service that we now understand that ukraine wont be able to put their demands into adequate was worthy of serious attention of serious people. ukraine is literally being restrained from taking constructive steps. the countries being forced to use foreign weapons in a more risky way from, and foreign specialist actually occupying jobs and maintaining those weapon systems are like high mas, all this is not really a secret american and british counterparts with active

k. communications on russia this year. but it has only served to escalate tension between the 2 peach and must lose in ukraine. helping ukraine defend itself, all defensive weapons from the united kingdom, and now being used to stop russian tracks. but we need to do more. let's be clear. if putin succeeds, there will be unfold further misery across europe and terrible consequences across the globe. we would never feel safe again. so we must be prepared for the long whole. we've got to double down on our support for ukraine, in addition to promoting unprecedented sanctions and ban on all investment in russia. trust said earlier this month, but she will support giving me sees and frozen russian assets in the u. k. to ukraine as a new form of humanitarian aid. hey, maybe zalinski can use a yacht. i am supportive of the concept. we're looking at it very closely. the canadians have, in fact just passed legislation. this is an issue that we are working on jointly with the home office and the treasury, but i certainly agree with

i not stream to if necessary. gas applies from russia. have been a contentious issue in the german parliament with the countries current leadership, staunchly opposed. the north stream to pipeline was set to double the amount of russian natural gas sent to germany, thereby easing pressure on european consumers. we heard from several people on the streets of germany about what they think of the use energy crisis motors and the energy crisis is a problem. it's all getting more expensive. fortunately, i don't have to cut my everyday expensive just yet. but next year things could get worse. it could be a catastrophe. fearlessness, of course, the energy crisis is affecting me. i'm retired and alone. i don't have much money. like we really got used to that each month i if i pay 500 next month that i'm going to pay things, then the next monday's gonna be $8.00, maybe 1000. our salaries are going down. so i think there is a huge price is going on. the economist and political commentator i commerce as starting up north stream 2 is the only solutio

there is nothing that will detect russia from killing and destroying there is no un charter for russia or nodes and the conventions for russia. there are no more all the strains to mr. lower off. now the cranium represent, it was asking for more weapons to be provided to ukraine by the nato, a line country. but russia was quick to point out the kinds of weapons that were used in today's attack. and from there to point out the danger of these weapons, not only going into the hands of the ukrainian military which is known to work with extremist and have extreme elements with it. but in addition to that, into the hands of criminal, then into the hands of terrorists and others. so at this point, we the rush of pointing out the danger of the continued blow of weapons. now it's also important to note that the u. s. representative who of course is made a high rate of accusation and heated words against bratia was counter when the representative of china spoke. china has a very clearly different conception of who is the primary threat and with abilene intentions in the world today. this is the

the next summit will take place in russia. we heard from a political communications professor at the university of toronto. fraud is adi, who says the cooperation between russia and iran will only increase both russia and major oil and gas producers. their neighbors, they have had history on the relation president was in russia just before they thought that the conflict ukraine resisting less than the goal of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and government including, and especially the united states, is going to pressure. so it makes sense for neighbors to be increased cooperation. and, you know, you don't, and russia signed the $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the meetings in the level of population is going to increase. and it's going to be linden situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people, the countries it's not in the west interest to completely break coffee ties with russia, especially

yes. russia, iran and nate. so member turkey help folks to discuss. conflict resolution is area code on the us to with joyce troops from the country. also coming up on the program with american and british counterparts with active support from germans. the poles and the baltic states pretty wants to turn this war into a real one. and to direct confrontation between russia and european states and an exclusive interview to r t rushes foreign minister gives his take on what the u. s. u. k. of install for ukraine on the a thanks for joining us early this sunday morning. moscow time, you're watching the weekly. hey, on artsy moneys peter scott. these the top stories from the weakest corner? now we start with the latest on the ground in ukraine. residential areas in done yet came under shilling by ukrainian forces on saturday. yes. according to the done, yes, people's public officials who added to the city was targeted with 3 garage rockets . now this footage allegedly shows evidence that incendiary imo was deployed i

there is no un chart of russia for a no geneva conventions for russia. there are no moral strains to mr. lowell. now, the ukrainian represented it was asking for more weapons to be provided to ukraine by the nato, a line country representative of russia pointed to the weapons that were used in the recent deadly attack. and pointed out that these weapons that the united states is supplying to the government of ukraine ended up in the hands, often of terrorists and extremist groups. and that there is a real threat to global security with the continued inflow weapon from the wagon into the hands of ukrainian government and military with the law enforcement agencies of hungary. in slovakia found the whole arsenal of sniper rifles, machine guns, and explosives and the hungarian settlement eroica located. and i was dr from the main international. the solomon site in vienna. according to the detainees, the weapons were delivered to ukraine, intended for ukrainian arm formations, and then sold and delivered to the european union. united states and china both add

one pipeline which runs under the baltic sea between russia and germany. russia claims that reduction has been due to maintenance, work and sanctions. and that a complete stop. it is not on the cards, but you repeat officials don't believe it and have started to prepare for the worst . but still through this with yourself book, who's the director of european energy policy at the energy transition? think tanka, i get a gora energy vendor. welcome to the w. germany. economy minister says he still demonstrates european solidarity. but there are a number of countries who have are opt house. so how, how much solidarity is there? seek to political cigna cannot be overrated. it's very important that when it, before the call period starts before it starts the member states that collectively agreed to reduce gas demands by 15 percent. so to be in a position to fill the storage of gas in europe to the level necessary to get through the winter, even if a russia would fully cut the gas in the re serial. so it's very important to note it is putting into legislation principle of energy solidarity,

but russia will benefit. russia benefits much _ but russia will benefit. russia benefits much more _ but russia will benefit. russia benefits much more with - but russia will benefit. russia benefits much more with the i benefits much more with the exports of fuel. it is incomparable, the volume. and we go on seeing russia exporting oil and gas to several european countries and other countries around the world. that is where the big businesses.— world. that is where the big businesses. �* , ., , ., businesses. but you understand that some _ businesses. but you understand that some on — businesses. but you understand that some on the _ businesses. but you understand that some on the outside - businesses. but you understand that some on the outside world| that some on the outside world would see this as the un helping russia to do business, at a time when russia is killing women and children every other in ukraine. ida. killing women and children every other in ukraine. no, we are helping _ every other in ukraine. no, we are helping ukraine. _ every ot

it's europe imposing it on russia to try to punish russia somehow for the ukraine issue. oh, but, but this is, this is totally wrong. we explained the country of what is reality and they are really putting us into a technical situation because they still claim that the future is when you will, blanche's wind and solar panels. but this isn't true. it's 2022 percent of energy in europe. and we have come to a maximum, we cannot have more, except if we use more gas to compensate when there is no wind or no sun. and so the gas goes coupled with renewable energy. so we cannot go to renewable. energy is at 80 percent, for example, as a project for the coming years in the green deal. this is completely duty cross, ludicrous. so it's, it's frame the lying to the europeans. and again, they don't know how to get out of each lights, not the only little advantage is that where the heat wave that we have now, solar energy is exactly in sync with the heat weight. you know, the solar energy can produce a lot at midday. oh, when oh, it's very odd, so that's the only thing in these room to

, excluding russia. you cannot have pan european security without russia. that's something they don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge. go ahead. you don't have to agree for many years. i've been saying that nato claims to have partnership arrangements just not more than that with which it's about everyone in europe, although very clearly that's not the case anymore. and you know, the mask is finally slip that gets finally out of the bag. but for many years it was, it was only practical allies like said germany, we didn't want conflict with russia who insisted that there was no way that they would support russia being named as public enemy number one for nato. well, that's finally changed now. now russia is the most significant and direct threat to allies security and peace and stability in the euro. atlantic area. ok, it, so it is. so while you're there in the wind, in the belly of the beast as it were here on the, the facts being created on the ground, la battlefield and ukraine doesn't seem t

the next summit will take place in russia. we heard from a political communications professor at the university of ron ford is adi, who says the cooperation between russia under run will only increase both russia and major oil and gas producers. their neighbors, they have had history on the relation. you know, i was president, was in russia just before they thought that the conflict ukraine resisting less than is a loan of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and governments including, and especially the united states, is going to question it. so it makes sense for neighbors to be increased cooperation. as you know, you know, and russia signed the $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the meetings in the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be relevant situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people of countries. it's not in the west interest to completely break off his ties with r

didn't shake russia. it's a classic example of russian propaganda. we should make no bones about it. europe is in an economic crisis, not because of sanctions, but because of russia's hybrid war. this comes as victor all been said, the sanctions against russia have failed and hit the u itself. he also stressed the only way to end the war is talks between moscow and washington, however hungry stunts as well as his foreign ministers. recent visits, moscow received an angry response from a you politicians on the media. hungary was already actively undermining due unity and is now actively helping russia and democratic governments have no place around the european table. kick hungary out of d, u and nato. let ukraine join both. instead. there is no reason to keep hungry inside you and nato. if it's systematically serves as the best russian trojan horse inside of our allied institutions. budapest has refused to impose an embargo on russian fossil fuel thing. it just can't replace them. the international moneta

good relations with russia. all countries of africa have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies. who are stance on the russia? ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since its breakout. we never wanted to how with the wolves as to the fire sergey lab rob's visits were deemed such a success that the u. s. secretary of state is now also set to travel to south africa. the democratic republic of congo and rwanda. washington announced to the new trip for august, just 2 days after lab rav wrapped up his visit. ortiz maria financial covered his tour agent, congo, uganda, ethiopia, truly historic tour. at a time of isolation, russia, the world's most sanctioned country, is supposed to be struggling, losing ties and partners. but instead, it's foreign minister to was the african continent with a bang airplane land that 4 times in 4 days and for a different african country than everywhere. russia. 7 diplomat was accepted as a high leverage back to get that as a brand in ethiopia, they lay the floor with fres

. >> actually, i think that putin's russia, as we usedto joke in russia , the land of signals, he is testing the political establishment. the german public opinion. to see what will be the reaction to this shutdown. i don't think it is permanent. i think it is an attempt to worry germany. and other european countries dependent on rusan gas. not more trouble might lie ahead. i.e. unless you stop supporting ukraine, and start to listen to the kremlin narrative. i suppose that there is a downside, a flipside for that -- so that. in the end for the kremlin. because in the end russia gets a t of moneyrom supplying europe with gas. and then case -- in case putin blocks the supplies, he may create chaos, but at the same time he will finally prove that russia is an unreliable supplier. i think over the long-term, increase the rush to find alternativeuppliers. by the way i am speaking here from lithuania, which several years ago rented a mobile offshore ,a facility from norway that helps -- offshore, a facility from norway tt helps them compensate. there are rea solutions. i suppose in the lo

russia could quit, quit fully. and so the station has to go down into the ocean, pacific ocean, or kind of continue on a commercial basis to cooperate, to some extent, to keep it running till 3rd d or a russia would be demanding psalms of sanctions rulings ok. amy lids, not yet. wills issue. all right, so amy, as pavel says, there is not over yet, is that from the american side is this viewed as bluster is the hope that it's bluster yes. so and russia said that they were going to pull out after 2024. and that there was a report that came out talking to one of their lead flight directors that was discussing that their version of the space station that way the 1st pieces would launch maybe around 2028th. so from nasa standpoint, nasa has said that they would like to operate the space station until 2030. but it is also at the same time preparing some commercial partners to launch sort of mini space stations. i think axiom has one. i'm blue origin has an orbital reef that they're partnering with several other agencies

that's after labeling russia. a significant threat. amid that, the ukraine conflict, we put the blocks evolving strategy for discussion. the west nato, united states and other, they're fighting of rocky wall, right at rochester door. ukraine is nothing less than an extension of nato's military power. conflicts as a sport, how much do you eat hostage of need to end the u. s. with, by casting lot of direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, moscow has withdrawn its troops from snake island, a strategic point in the black sea seized by russian forces. when the conflict erupted. in late february, russia says the move is an act of good will to support us efforts to facilitate ukrainian grain exports to the global market. so it's not that your question is russian armed forces completed their assign tasks on snake island and withdrew their garrison from there on june 30th. there's a gesture of goodwill. thereby, we are showing to the glob

okay, we have the us russia contact. we don't have a soccer contact from native to russia. we don't have a navy contact in the baltic sea, which de facto now transforms into a need to see in a way. yeah. so there is a lot of risk there. and this is why i feel that both sides will look very, very into in, intensely into looking for ways to manage this new confrontation. because as you saying, and i agree, it will probably stay here for years and years and years. it was a what's the, the, the natal point of view on that was the promised di, conflicting mechanisms are between russian nato. is that, that moscow wants to talk to washington. and when he comes to common structures, a sucker is, is, is almost accepted because it's an american commander. but when we talk, for example, about the multinational cor, in shushing, which is a nature multinational core and which is responsible for military operations in the baltic area. it's not taking seriously in moscow because it's not american and the think, well, you know, in, in moscow thinking, it's sort of the pentagon commands. an

the 2nd is sanctions which should weaken russia. the 3rd is the aftermath of sanctions, which we should have handled, but russia could not. the 4th element is peace that we could have built. instead, we are sitting in a car that has punctures in all 4 tires. it is absolutely clear that the war cannot be won this way. so there is still a lot up in the air here, especially when it comes to looking at how this latest cut to the neurons dream. one pipeline is going to affect the overall supply. and of course, how europe is going to respond to it. the u. s. is engaged in a proxy will with russia and ukraine is the bustle field. thus, the view of former cia officer re, mcgovern, who says the continuance across moscow's red lines only these escalations in the conflicts this year is shared by many, including former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who has stated more than once that ukraine should serve as a buffer zone between the east and the west. prominent us scholar john mearsheimer also believes that the u. s. on this allies are

russia has a shortage of manpower. unless putin is willing to double up, announce a general mobilization, it is difficult to see him getting more territory. as i mentioned, his leverage probably is this winter, and that is why he is using gazprom now, because he knows, two years down the line, the west will cut russia out of global supply chains, they won't be as vulnerable as they are now. so it is this winter where europe is extremely vulnerable, especially in gas-centric europe, czech republic, that space, and that is likely going to be pushed out this winter. if he does not use it now, he has lost it. alix: he needs to keep some gas flowing to have that leverage, so it is like what that is and how europe can capitalize on it is also something to think about. tim, the bank of russia code about 160 basis points today. it was the third consecutive cut after 300 moves in april. how much is the bank of russia going to have to cut to offset all of this backdrop that you just talked about? tim: many people focus on the fa

maybe 5000 in russia. you get the point. putin does not have a military option here in any significant way. it is a common misconception among many americans that, oh, russia is somehow equal with united states or equal with nato . absolutely not. putin has no real options, particularly since he has cracked his military so significantly in this misbegotten war in ukraine. in some dark, twisted corner of his mind he might. for those who want to weigh whether or not it is an actual threat, and sometimes i hear this from normally sensible people, the line that this is all the fault of nato, because nato expanded to the east. that is what caused russia to invade. that is turning the world upside down. open the book of history. i will show you countless times russian tanks have rolled west in the second world war raping their way across germany. attacking budapest in 1956. destroying the prague spring in 1968. approaching warsaw when the poles acted independent. russian tanks have rolled west many times in conquest. never has a n

and then you know that in the future it, russia is done with russia. so when do they have in the fight? let me some sure relation. i was, i was interview becomes, i've been and then we need the europeans, a ways to clear match. now living there, okay. the king king and gentleman. this is on the i'm finishing problem. i have them. yes. so they will have a huge if not when this is they will have sure to use and if they have a harsh winter rooms in the u. s. economy is now a recession that's according to the latest data which shows the country, the g, d p, declining for a 2nd consecutive quarter this year. but the bite in administration is in no rush to admit the economic downturn, or accept responsibility for it. most economists and most americans have a similar definition of recession, substantial drop losses and mass layoffs, businesses shutting down private sector activities, slowing considerably. family budgets under the min strain in cham, a broad based weakening for economy. that is not what we're seeing right now. falling biden's speech in which h

they keep waiting for russia to run out, and here russia is. you know, you turning along like the ever the energizer body just doesn't. well, larry, i would say there's one thing that depending on, doesn't run out of. and it's called the griffin because that's what it is. it's a, that's the only thing. it's never in shortage is the great grip. and it's no surprise to me. you go from the afghan, griff, to the ukraine grip that it was in a very short amount of time. they're very adroit to doing that. let me go to michael now. michael. well, how does nato walk away from all of this? ok, i mean, i know, i think, you know, the new york times, you know, ukraine's winning and all this, you know, how do they walk away from this? how do they, how do they explain to people? not all, did we lose the ukrainians? what was that we crashed the economy after crashing the economy with cove it go ahead, michael. well, it looks like to me, they're not walking away from it. they're trying to enlarge it by introducing for the 1st time china into their final stateme

i think the gold market is very specific and russia can simply stock it's. it's called, you know, it's not losing the thing, bye, bye stocking. and if, if need be that there are other things that happen, you know, the african states tell you wrote a you a noise by, by, on putting a ban on, on the russian banks on swift. because we need to go via 3 of them to rely on these banks for buying grain from russia. so please stop it. so now the european commission is, is very discreetly opening the challenge of swift for a series of russian banks. so you see it's sanctions, but at the same time they do the opposite. so the same for gas. so it's really a total mess that we europeans, create an independent journalist, look of a always a pleasure, haven't you on the program. and there's no point for the west to completely break off its ties with russia, especially when it comes to the energy market. that's according to russian foreign minister survey law prov. who in an exclusive interview to our channel, also underlined that moscow was not worried about the use desire

all mario pulled russia denies, carrying out the attack. george and dw is off next dw documentary looks at efforts to track down former fighters of the so called islamic state from the antonio allowed to go. thanks for watching a.

in russia and the u. s . ah m bluecross. welcome to the program, our full explosions have rock the city of michel live in ukraine's south. so the officials there are pleading with residence to remain in air raid shelters the nickel, live region or borders. odessa, where on friday, russian missiles hit several apartments in the town of a reef cup. granting president of le mars lensky has called the attack a deliberate act of terror against unarmed civilians. they were in their beds when russian missiles rained down on their homes. at least $21.00 people were killed in airstrikes, including a 12 year old boy. president lensky called the attacks a deliberate act of terror. 3 or giving bleaching 3 missiles on an ordinary residential building on a 9 story block in which nobody was hiding any weapons. any military equipment, delaney ammunition, that russian propagandists would claim such strikes are aimed at. it was a simple building, housing, a $160.00 people, ordinary people, civilians, to be. the strike also destroyed a recreat

what is russia? but this is so crazy. when you say that european culture is cancelling russian culture, i don't see big culture in europe in no culture cannot cancel culture. and how can you separate love, don't say, from the history of give, from the history of europe. this is impossible. at one time, sylvia was also shunned and yet it was bombed on the says who dubbed outcomes today, fraternity between russia and serbia is being poisoned, sampson being forced to join european sanctions. however, so far without success. what we could say politicians, they say one thing. they do another and they think 3rd. so i still hope that our president is a moving in between these 3 elements. thinking, doing, saying, i still believe that he will find the space not to put sanctions because the sanctions are symbolic, easily put sanctions in russia. we speak on our past and our history, and our christian believes which are leading us to the last bombardment that happened in 1989 a. cnn, right, you knew we must act a call take out club

what we will do, what the world will do with russia if russia we lose this, this work. and i think it's, it's important to see, ah, this, this possible solution that russia will be weaker and maybe smaller or even maybe call ups. so yeah, i think that it's, it's important to bring this topic on the table. finally, we don't want to prove every time that we can when we proved it already, we just need support. ukrainian people are not asking to fight for them. as i will government stated to many times give us weapons and we will handle the rest. so we need more sanctions and the more weapons and what we will do the rest. before we leave the question of western divisions, i just want to make the point that perhaps put him we'll attempt of course to exploit those divisions as best he can. but isn't there a danger in your eyes? in any case that the longer the war drags on, the more of those countries who are supplying your weapons and financing your defense will want to say in how this conflict comes to an end. even if they promise as they have that they will respect your dec

between africa and russia. whereas the west has tried to tell these african countries who to talk to. and frankly, there has been the situation right now in many countries in africa where there have been long queues for gas and food shortages that have been affecting this. these countries from the conflict because night we have had good relations with africa since sylvia times for many years now we have been restoring our presence and the africans are reciprocating. so we never taught them anything. we never forced them to do anything. we always help them to resolve their tasks and to lead their countries in the way they want it. and we always had mutual visit. yes. right. and so just in terms of what that is, i think russia has the upper hand, and i think russia is noticing that there's the shift that the sanctions aren't working, but they are hurting the economies and in these developing countries. so western sanctions obviously have been backs backfiring and the people who launched them in the 1st place. but

, the older generation looks east to russia this year. there's a big strawberry harvest in serbia. the community of shabbas has an ideal comment for it on me. let me let you choose 30. hector farm to hecht has a given over to strawberries for 34. for stop, it has guided test, a band aid. the the here. if you are still, i don't know many more. i have to hate to say there's your, what's your car? natural eon, dow high mile, per se. us and a funny you enough for to see strawberries used to be exploited to russia. but after the ball is closed, logistics became more expensive. the farmer complains that if it goes on, he'll only be able to trade with europe. melina, is i have it all. melina? oh my yeah. gorda, jamar. trash. yeah. sheila, so ashley you are you are. oh, i thought it was. yeah. hi clair of cohen. yeah, we're there. thanks to you. all right, dan emma emma nash appraisal proceed. i'm miss wanda. welcome. probably more on the sy fi say nasha police war. yeah. all right. it been as i'm all that you're stuck in like actual why the e ca

what we will do, what the world will do with russia if russia we lose this, this word. and i think it's, it's important to see, ah, this, this possible solution that the russia will be weaker and maybe smaller or even maybe call ops. so yeah, i think that it's, it's important to bring this topic on the table. finally, we don't want to prove every time that we can, when we proved it already, we just need support. ukrainian people are not asking to fight for them as well. governments stated many times give us weapons and we will handle the rest . so we need more sanctions and the more weapons and what we will do the rest. before we leave the question of western divisions, i just want to make the point that perhaps put him we'll attempt of course, to exploit those divisions as best he can. but isn't there a danger in your eyes? in any case that the longer the war drags on, the more of those countries who are supplying your weapons and financing your defense will want to say in how this conflict comes to an end. even if they promise as they have that they will respect your

who will be next for russia? dorna slightly less mold of all the baltic countries or poland at the answer is all of them. she will need all of them. and she right, or this is edward. this is historical experience. that is, sir, that is throttling through his mouth. it's so he doesn't have to be factually correct as for what is going to happen to morrow or in 3 months. but 3rd, the most important experience of this region are, which contains sir, ukraine, poland, and the baltic states. and it's important not older, eastern europe, it's, it's just those rushes direct, earn neighbors. that the experience is that there is a long standing collective habit, a, which is russian imperialism, and this russian imperialism in a new package of russian nationalism has been spreading throughout the past 20 years. so that the, that, that the cases of china, georgia and crimea of course, are under proofs for, for a such argument. patience is very important because of course, you might say, well, this is just fatalism. and this i

ah, a deal is agreed by russia and ukraine to open up block c ports for grain exports. russia's foreign ministers say, it's proof that western accusation saving moscow provoked that global food prices were growing. list unfold the signing of the memorandum between russia and the u. n . has once again underlined the absolutely artificial nature of the west attempts to put the blame for problems with grained supplies, to the world markets on russia. both in europe, whole and interpol ring the alarm over the influx of weapons into ukraine, possibly making their way to terrorists and criminal groups all over the world. go ahead. it's not only ukrainian army that they're fighting against as positions very close to here are full of foreign mercenaries as well on our tea crew joins russian lead force is on the front line and done by us where the army is currently targeting ukrainian military positions, locations from where a key of troops importantly, been shelling the city of done. yes. both security forces in crisis had shrunk, arrayed the main anti government protest, cowboy, a senior, a ve

an issue in ukraine, by, by, by russia. we got the telephone, he suggested we call the leader of switzerland switching. my good, my goodness, i'm, i'm getting really anxious here about expanding nato or sweden. meanwhile, in madrid, thousands of people repeatedly took to the streets throughout the nato summit to protest against the blocks. policies of this year, spain is marking the 40th anniversary of it's a session to nato. the summit was dominated by the ukraine conflict and the alliance whose efforts to provide more weaponry to give the masses of protesters, however, focused on nato's endeavors, claiming it is no source of peace as they called for spain to withdraw from the block in australia, 7 in 10 people say that their governments alliance with washington increases the chance of it being drawn into a war in the asian pacific theater war that would be against national interests. that's according to an annual foreign policy poll conducted by the low institute. it prominent sidney based a think tank, but despite the co

one is russia is the detect, dorsey, it was a tier one. you read the side was a tier one during surgery times and now it's to run you doing to president shuttle times. the circle phone is worse than expansions, russian barrier. it's appropriately fee is, but this is always the same game of it to any bookshelf in europe or the us is enough to reveal the strength of anti russian sentiment today. love to keep us. he showed me here florida where europe is crisp on, you know, some with at the store and you probably lot show credit which you poll like what, what, what blood blood work study. and i don't, we should not say can you because injury sheet i and the pollutants cobra, which includes which of course of which i get on pushing fortune, but only show that people they are good. i hear checking with you, but i'm going to see it doing or not all the categories are written, produce name that i see little brush. that's all we would roughly escalate granny's . he says degrade, crossed your what you have for example. and these comics about russia

reporter: but russia will benefit. >> russia benefits more with the exports of fuel. it is on comparable, the volume. we go see russia exporting oil and gas to several european countries and other countries. that is where the big business is. reporter: some in the outside world will see this as that you and helping russia to do business at a time when russia is killing women and children every other day in ukraine. >> no, we are helping ukraine. reporter: in april, the secretary-general saw the horrors for himself during a summer visit to suburbs around the capital, forever scarred by russian atrocities. when you went to kyiv and ukraine, you were obviously very moved by what you saw. i remember you said you could imagine your own granddaughters having to flee. against that backdrop, was it difficult to sit and negotiate with russia? >> of course it is not easy. but, i mean, there is a sense of duty that the secretary-general of the united nations must have relations with the whole world. strong, was my emotion, when i visited the places you mentioned. today, it was a

and here i am at home in russia. we'll as her re camp all the news week that was i'll be back with more up they top of they are after more programs which get their start right ahead. so go too far. this is artie. ah, ah, a lot of people i think is 70 percent of even 80 percent of serbian people are for sure. but you know, you cannot make it like a fission or like something that you, you, you know, number people who come to this part of the book and then you make inclusion. they are pro russians or not. who so for me, i mean, social cerebral phobia. and we were, we have passed through this, so we know how the russian brothers are feeling at the moment. a ah, a small apartment in the voice of us district artist brown is lever. dish begins painting. he already knows the pictures, title, miracle nga dara. a parable about jesus christ who cast out demons from the possessed man. it's actually a current story. oh, the toyota. he had more of a neat. where to go it also because he called the other still yes. yes. a year. the

that's certainly the case that russia is trying to advance, and russia has sounded deep displeasure with made us moving, formerly in formerly towards its borders for quite some time, including when you were in office. you visited me as president trump national security advisor. you shook hands with why do we put in? i remember, i think it was in some or 2018. you even talked about the value of communication between leaders in the most difficult of times. in all fairness, didn't the crumbling use all the diplomatic means at its disposal to limit the welcome. and so i would say malicious us presence close to russian borders. there's simply no truth to what you're saying. nato didn't move toward brushes, borders just just for, for the benefit of people in russia who may not hear this. it was the nations of eastern central europe once the warsaw pact broke up after decades of repression by the soviet union. that came to nato and requested membership, so that they could create their own free governments and societies and so that it may, could have peace and security against external threats.

, so as not to hit targets in russia. if the missiles go wrong. so there's definitely no willingness there to leave off targets or to basically take disadvantages in what they seize their military campaign for the interests of avoiding or succeeding casualties. and now increasingly, as ukraine holds up better than anyone had expected, least of all in moscow. there is really a worry here that russia moscow will start trying to hit the civilian infrastructure to make it harder for ukraine to keep on fighting, to hit electricity plants, roads, railways, on a greater level so that even people, hundreds climates away from the front lines, will not be able to go about their daily lives, even if they're not hit directly and will increasingly find their daily life disrupted their ability to earn a living. made more difficult. and, you know, the hope it seems in russia is that increasing, there will be pressure on ukraine's government to come some kind of agreement to make some kind of compromises as life becomes as an unbearable

and the thermal imageer module was made in france, after russia invaded. drones like this one are a terror on the battlefield, and are revolutionizing the way war is being fought. but the battle over controller components inside of them is almost as important as the supply of new rockets and artillery. at the front lines, ukrainian soldiers fear russian drones, and celebrate and share what they call successful hits. kyiv's military intelligence say the drone's powerful cameras, with thermal and infrared imaging, and cell phone tracking, are making it easier for russia to kill ukrainian soldiers. >> from a uav or drone identifying a ukrainian target, it can be three to four minutes for the russians to engage them. >> so french lens, japanese engine, u.s.-made gsm parts. somewhat other countries, components go in here? the list, he says, is long, including austria, germany, taiwan, the netherlands. his job, follow every serial number. find out who made it, and tell allies to figure out how to stop russia's drone techs getting their hands on it. but stopping

not only about russia, but also about the potential of a chinese military corporation with russia in the near future. and this explains why they are adding china as a security challenge for the alliance. yes, the language is systemic challenge and i think there is a lot of negotiation among the members and exactly what type of language to use. some european countries have big investments in china and they don't want to see china and russia in the same basket. but i would say that what really cleansed it for many people are countries in central and eastern europe, especially was the february 4th documents signed in beijing in the run up to the olympics, where president putin and she can ping signed an agreement to say are a statement with many points for one of the key points was that they both were joined together to push back on nato. so i think that the sent a red flag to many countries. and we've seen a lot of cooperation with russia and china to those who have been paying attention . it's been taking place for quite a long time. there have been 3 recent documents in the last few

ah. european union nations have agreed to ration gas as russia announced another call to supply russia state to energy. john gas problem said it would further flash supplies, 3 beat north stream, one pipeline, to germany, down to just 20 percent of capacity. russia blamed the issue on a faulty gas turbine, but you need to say the latest to whole is politically motivated. then petrovitch has this report. the energy crisis looming over europe dominated the meeting of u ministers in brussels. rationing gas ahead of winter, the best and only way to reduce the use reliance on russian energy. 45 b. sam corresponds stay 15 percent cut in our usual gas consumption between the beginning of august and the end of march. that's why we have pointed to this percentage as the target or member states should strive forward. russia set to further reduce supplies through the north stream pipelines, blaming a technical fault at one of their stations, something you ministers dispute. you leaders say there is no technical reason for the latest reduction, something gas problem, disputes assured national g as

so i don't know whether russia will try to to do it, but i think that russia will... and by russia, i mean kremlin, will be very happy to do it. the question is whether kremlin will be able to do it because it is struggling in ukraine now. of course, georgia is much smaller than ukraine, but still, russia is is suffering there in ukraine. but it would be very easy, wouldn't it, for the russians to come into georgia? it's got a very small army, about 30—35,000. with all due respect, it will be much more easier here than in ukraine. but russia now is fighting in several wars. so that's why it's it could be different to russia. but answering the question, yes, of course, that's the dream of the kremlin — rebuild the soviet union. dr sonia, do you think president putin would try to recreate the old soviet union? and think, "georgia is going to be an easy take for me"? yeah, i think a lot depends on how the war in ukraine will progress . and whether western support will pick up more. _ and only then putin can be stopped. | and we will have to see also howj long the rus
