Yeske, like he has troops have stepped up that bombardment of a Chemical Plant nearby villages are being increasingly caught in the crossfire with some people that are getting cut off from electricity may want in the southern ukraine, the city of nevada, taco, which is under russian control was showered by the ukrainian army. No can officially say 20 rockets were fine with some of them hitting the city center and the local hydro electric ponds, russia se, if the shelling of the facility could lead to disastrous consequences, it provides water to the neighboring Nuclear Power plant. Gillian, now one of the residential areas where violence has intensified is the contested village websites of which is particularly partially held by ukrainian trips who were selling the washing control part of the village. Despite the ongoing college, some locals have refused to leave their homes as long consumer reports, the village of ha, zeisler is still partially under control of ukrainian nationalist forces. Over the last 8 years, her residence here have been divided. One part of the village was under ukrainian control and the other one was under control that the next peoples republic. And that means that people here have been suffering under constant shelling for the last 8 years and it only intensified over the last 6 months. And that, of course, also means that basic necessities here have very scarce. So we brought some humanitarian aids to make their lives just a little bit easier. Right now were heading. How long with the head of the sites of our let this love, he will show us the latest consequences of ukraine and shelly, however, hes been here for the last hate years and, and does not plan to leave the station at santa fe for this is the city center there have never been military positions here. All of our infrastructure is located here, all that is left and the ukrainians are trying to destroy through the with the area where the Administration Building is located here in a zide summer. Is that right in the, at the center of the shilling . Now these are just, some of the fragments of the shells thats ordered on peaceful civilians. Zeiss was still has a population. However, the place where we are located is now completely deserted. Now were still Walking Around the sides of our but so we cant find any people at all. But so while were walking, we have to do it very, very carefully, because there are still hundreds and hundreds of metal mines, anti personnel, so called butterfly mines, designed, if not to kill, but to mame a person for life. So tom put into it every day. Theyre a shelling, tavia, i have a granddaughter. Im happy that i managed to send her away from here before everything started 6 months ago. She could have been killed here. For example, my husband was in the bedroom when the shelling started, his name was to the windows were blown out, and fragments of glass flew at him. Oh, its unbearable to live here. So it love you. Im so tired. The shelling has been going on for 9 years already. We have neither our children nor grandchildren come to see us because they feel threatened to ease. Its even hard to go out into the garden. There are bullets everywhere though. Every thing explodes. The roof of our house roof is in fragments, 14 residence halls, zide silver were killed by ukrainian nation is forces since the beginning of the conflict back in 201431. People were wounded. And unfortunately, the number of casualties may grow. Just like the number of 4 houses schools, kindergarten is destroyed. Now this is just one of those kindergartens. It was freshly built back in the year 2020 but so far it still cannot open its doors due to conference shelling room on call, sir. Of archie dun asked peoples republic across the in 8th, the asia, china is on high alert on warrington. Its ready to repel any provocations in the taiwan straits. Of the 2 u. S. Warships passed through niche for waters there. Earlier on sunday, washington claims his vessels conducted a routine transit in accordance with International Law, the u. S. Sais, the move demonstrates its commitment to a free and open endo pacific region. China responded immediately by saying, get tracked, c u. S. Ships as they made their way through the strait while the Chinese Military is poised to respond to any additional incidents with the 1st such case of American Naval activity in the disputed area in the wake of a controversial visit to taiwan by u. S. How speak and nancy pelosi, early this month. Bating still considers tiwana, pasa china, and responded to policies. Trip with a series of military exercises around the island. Heres a reminder of how the situation unfold. It. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi is planned to visit taiwan potential stop in taiwan. Visiting taiwan is in taiwan. Why is she assisting that . She may well go to taiwan. It would be a serious violation of the one china principal and a grave infringement on chinas sovereignty and territorial integrity. Those who play with fire will come to no good end. Oh, think we are at an unpredictable moment. Chinese military assembling at 6 different locations around the island us china relations are on shaky ground. Seems to me your main goal was to stir up trouble. Thanks for bringing more problems to the world. America stands with taiwan. Beijing announced it will impose on specifying sanctions jonna will stop cooperation with us on several prominent issues a period of measures are being directed at the United States. Now the u. S. As acting treacherously on the taiwan issue, victor, guy, Vice President of the center for china and globalization says that by sailing the worships near taiwanda u. S. Shows is disregard of chinas jurisdiction in the region. The International Law of the sea is governing behaviors like the passage rule, the power was straight, it is open for navigation by civilian as well as naval ships, probably need to be subject to the jurisdiction of china. That simple, i seen the United States is misleading. The world, by sailing through the taiwan street as if for example, the r abided by the passage, by telling the whole world that they are not abided by the innocent passage. They want to do this as a demonstration to china and tell the whole world that it is regarding those jurisdiction in the taiwan street. What the United States is doing ever since nancy pelosi is illicit, busy to tie one is a series of provocations. Their aim is simple, they want to come out taiwan from china. This is in violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. And they will never succeed news from north africa now where at least 32 people have been killed under a 159 wounded in clashes in libby as capital, according to the countries health ministry. This is the aftermath of the fighting that broke out on saturday and the libyan capital tripoli, rival militia groups, exchanged heavy gunfire with local media. St. Classes were initiated by one of the capitals strongest on factions. There were new to violence comes as rival forces continue to live for power conflicts has we ignited due to a standoff between 2 rival governments, the impacts triplett base government of National Unity and the rival administration supported by the parliament in libby as eastern city of topic besides playing each other for the clashes, the country has not had a stable government since im a good good off. It was toppled and killed by nature french rebels in 2011 Lebanese University professor jamal. What came phase. The western meddling has made the life of libya and much worse. Believe that the nato has destroy livia, under the pretext operating change under the pretext of imposing a gemini, human rights and all this western formula to justify intervention and countries that are local criticism again. But during his rule, the resources of the libyan people of libya were in the hands of the people. Now we see that the people are all these rights and all these advantages to the favor of militia, that support my buddies, the dental and national pose. I believe that the west on the part of the problem, they were the ones to get trouble in libya and then they werent the ones who can i can remember an agenda all dividing libya into buddies plus in order to reduce the resources the way the less does with the resources of non western countries, the use foreign policy, cheese, se, europe is facing major challenges due to a deepening energy crisis. But use a burrell, insists that is the price your pains must be willing to pay for freedom. We are facing major challenges in the short term. There is no denying that the price of gas is rising, but we must be willing to pay a price for freedom. After all, the war in ukraine is not just a war for ukrainians, but a war for our freedom. You are paying electricity prices sold to new records on friday. The year had contracts for germany, electricity reached 995 years per megawatt hours, while the french equivalent surge past 1100. 00 euro and more than 10 fold increase in both countries from last year. You repeat media out raising fresh concerns about the energy crisis, the latest addition of french magazine, surely dont say president mac wrong collecting firewood, or saying 1st come 1st serve. Well, britains the mirror has called on u. K. Need is to finally do something about the rising prices with a newspaper suggesting that some portions will freeze to death this coming winter. When he germans are all impressed with the bills either and say they simply cannot afford further rising prices. And Energy Prices are, of course, gigantic. And there is no question that they are a terrible burden for consumers throughout europe. If i have no understanding why Energy Companies make such improbable profits and the consumers have to pay for it on the entire shouldnt, were just students. And you can already tell that there is somehow less money left in your wallet. At the end of the month, of course, it is a bit of a worry for consumers, Energy Savings also have their limits. At that point, politicians have to intervene by lowering the taxes. If you questions and our costs of living have risen in our household, but there are many ways you can save energy. For example, instead of heating your entire house to 20 degrees, you can shut the door and keep other rooms where you are not spending much time, a bit cooler. And also now, meanwhile, hungary for a minute to save your pain, stay thought under the influence of quote, the liberal mainstream. And thats why they are imposing sanctions on russian energy. Hungary does not want to negotiate any energy sanctions, either in relation to oil or natural gas. And i want to say that we are not alone in this. It may seem that there is political courage and political stability, but not everyone shares these qualities. There is such incredible pressure from the liberal mainstream on those who tell the truth, that if there is not a certain level of political stability, the country will not be able to act independently. Thats what slash alex on to mckay political analyst on the editor of red star radio. Many thanks for joining us on the program. Its nice to see, you know, its interesting, isnt it, but it was a b, e u that imposed sanctions on russia in the 1st place as i was the playing. Why does the book play moscow for the Current Energy crisis, almost as if they had no choice in the matter . Because theyre trying to escape the consequences of a disastrous policy failure. They instituted the sanctions really at the behest of the white house, the biden administration. And the mistaken belief that it would lead to a rapid collapse in the russian economy. And the exact opposite has happened. The russian economy is not only state afloat but corporate profits in russia going up there making an awful lot of money off energy and gas exports. Theyve more than made up for the loss of business in europe with sales to china, india and other places in the world. And the european policy of supporting the u. S. Lead sanctions regime him, his thought in themselves for this not only catastrophic failure, but the huge hits on the populations living stand is going to occur in the winter paper course here. This is running out patients now want they need those advising people upon a king. They cant afford to pay the bills. What will your appeal need to do . Will the functions be lifted . Not in the immediate future because they cannot lift the sanctions without standing up to the americans. And they cannot stand up to the americans because the key to key players in the you, france and germany a much weaker than they were back in the early, 2, thousands in 2003. When they stood up to the Bush Administration and oppose the invasion of iraq. Now, even though this made this war in ukraine, it made no sense for the germans and the french to support it from the perspective of European Security and prosperity. But they went along with it due to political weakness. Now they cant get out of it. And they are probably looking for a way out. But that involves them. Again, like be having to take and possible choices they will carry on with this policy until one of 2 things happen. Either there is a change in policy in america, which doesnt look likely. All they are left in a position where due to domestic resistance, popular protest and unrest this winter, they are forced to change policy and may be forced to change governments. So either way, they, in a situation where it is going to be a tremendously difficult thing to get out of this mess that they have created for themselves. But they will only change if the populations forced them to change. Or if washington decides that they had enough of ukraine war and will allow ukraine to negotiate in good faith with moscow and so far, the latter doesnt look like its going to happen, not washington wants this war to continue for its own reasons. And europe is the sacrifice they are willing to make. The next few months, the, the situation people in europe is less faith. Its going to go from bad to worse. So lets talk about what measures can be considered to alleviate the situation. Well im in british terms, theres already been a support package put in place by the government earlier this year. When bills were already skyrocketing. They 2 candidates, the leadership, the conservative party here, richie soon act, perform a chancellor and los truss. The foreign secretary about talking about additional packages, but also keep talking about the need to sacrifice or shared sacrifice for the cause of ukraine, which i can tell you right now is not going down very well inside britain. Now in terms of what they can do, theyre going to try subsidized bills more. Thats for certain lease trust is talking about maybe cutting b a t o energy. But thats not going to be enough. The problem that weve got in britain and the germans have got the french slightly less so due to the Nuclear Power facilities is that we have not invested in our Energy Infrastructure and our Energy Supply the so many decades. Weve been buying it in from elsewhere. And now this is revealed, the weakness of that policy. The government says theyre going to build more Nuclear Power stations. Thats going to take it. They say that they are going to invest more renewables. Well, renewables dont provide anything like the amounts of energy needed for a country. The size of britain never mind. One the size of germany with all its industrial capacity. So in the short term, other than bailing out consumers and in carrying more government debt. And there are the, on the solution really is ending the war and ukraine via negotiated settlement and ending the sanctions regime because of them that they were looking at medium to Long Term Solutions that involve building up british european Energy Supply capacity and being able to provide our own energy again, which had not done for many, many years and which governments have shown themselves unwilling and unable to do so. The only short Term Solution is to get to negotiate into this war on an end to the sanctions regime. I come back to the comments made by us and thorough only he said the conflict in ukraine is a war for european freight and not just ukrainian freedom. Was talking about their freedom for whom. Why freedom for men like him . Its not freedom for the average german or average britain or frenchman who come he to his home this winter. Hes talking really about the credibility of nato, the credibility of the you and ultimately the credibility of the United States. This is not about freedom for the average citizen of any european nation, as i believe. You know, the Hungarian Foreign ministers come and she played ellia, indicated that some in europe regard dont share mr. Burrell opinion either or a johnson is called the shared sacrifice. But everybody in britain who has the capacity to think knows that far as johnson will not be part of that sacrifice. Mister morale, and m
