steve, it's a rough road north that may be about to get rougher at set you up to date. well, well news at the top of the hour, i had a thought. let me just recap our top story. this. our shelling from russian artillery in ukraine's dumbass region is post ukrainian troops. the outskirts of savannah, done, the cities defend the site. they will not concede that say on the w. janelle, do milan has your business after a good day. ah ah, it is a secret. and a scene endless one axis of the conflict between iran on the one hand

and israel in the united states on the other with more than 40 years. the adversaries have been irreconcilable. there is never been any real dialogue. how did this confrontation begin? how great is the danger that it will spread the long war? he's really, iran usa starts june 15th on d. w with ah, a blockade keeps ukrainian exports locked in while western sanctions keep supplies out of russia. we examined the impact also on the show, india is fresh from raising interest rates as fall out from roches warm makes

prices skyrocket. there too. will india stay neutral towards moscow? i mean its own economic pain. and the global energy supply crunch has the republic of congo saying it can stuff in to help. this is the adobe of business . i'm janelle de malott on welcome. ukrainian president vladimir lansky has warned that blockaded ukraine. grain stalks could triple by autumn leading to starvation for millions across the globe. he estimates that number could grow up to 75000000 tons from the current 20 to 25000000 that are blocked. his warning kong after russia said it would allow ukrainian grain exports to leave a via the black sea on wednesday. as roots out for ukraine in grain were being blocked, supply route to russia have also been complicated by western sanctions. here's a look at how that's affecting life inside the country. this warehouse and who

danced on the outskirts of moscow as full. but western sanctions are having an impact on this gym equipment distributor. and supply chains to russia have been disrupted. everything takes longer and cost more. the company director says that the payment method has also changed for you and those cases were now using a chinese payment system to pay directly and you on august 6th. it has a knock on effect because the one system is not as good as swift coca what goodness jim, when you muscle and payments can take up to 8 days is more likely to seemed new were some of the situation will likely get worse for jims that rely on high quality american exercise equipment. about 15 percent of russia's fitness clumps are reporting problems, getting spare parts, delivered, rushes fitness association, president warrens that if things don't change, jim's could lose their customers. by the end of this year. we might just have a chance to do you know what these high quality machines from the us, germany and italy or lion scholar lee, or we could never make anything like that?

well, not a 10 years ago to position just to meet the sentiments are also empty. hollywood movies are no longer being shown. this chain has already closed down 3 theaters coroner's roster. of course, i'm disappointed because the new marvel film is being released news loanable go, so we can get around it by watching movies on line. but of course, it's not as good as notional boomers and fewer shoppers are visiting the malls. but given the sanctions hardly any one wants to get involved politically put in system with its police and harsh laws has too tight grip on the country for that kid. all the a correspondent era shadow is following the story for us here is how much are western sanctions affecting everyday life or russians both go through moscow's grocery stores? for example, you would think that there are no sections at all. nothing has changed. i would say

that the, the food supply, he and regalato is partial the poorer than in moscow. but if you look at the prices, especially for imported goods, you can see a clear difference compared to the times before the war. ah, prices have recent substantially for the import to the drink. but like, like i said that the supply situation in general has normalized, especially if compared to march when some of storage awards suddenly empty. ah, this is mainly thanks to this civilization of the rubel, but the sanctions are really halting. russia in all industries that depend on supplies from the west, especially all thinks that that rely on migrants also more than 1000 west and companies have left russia. and today that there was more bad news from for moscow . big chinese companies such as how are why a hallway are pulling out of rush as well, probably out of fear of becoming targets for less than sections as well. and did now you've been covering russia for years and you know, as well that it's been subject to sanction since 2014. how does these sanctions differ from previous ones while the new sanction significant,

significantly strong and will cause much more damage? i would say at ation experts, for example, i agree that in a few years because of a lack of our parts for best, an aircraft and many plants a will no longer be able to fly at the same applies to gym and high speed to trains from siemens, which at around several times a day between moscow and peters, took a lifeline, connecting the 2 cities are in the medical industry. components are already missing as well. if look around trash you, if you can find western machines, western technology and now how everywhere these machines needs to be served. cat 4 and renewed and they can probably around for a few years without maintains but what then then russia might start facing as a threat of production closures and lay offs, which would mean more unemployment and a lower standard of living. so it can only get worse perhaps that can the sanction that force vladimir putin to stop this far i think

sanctions alone definitely cannot force put into an to the war put in started it for political reasons. he obviously didn't expect this kind of resistance and is now preparing his country and the whole world for a long war. even if the sanctions cause and deterioration and lydia standards, even if people in russia no longer have the same food in their fridge. russia propaganda machine can spin this in favor of their narrative, buckle up your belt, people times are getting tough, but the rest is to blame. what the sanctions can do is make life an uncomfortable for the elite and may be so uncomfortable that they might even think about rebelling and if they stand up, it could lead to putins downfall. thank you very much, my colleague, you're a rush shadow there for us. india central bank has height rates for a 2nd time and as many months as aged as a 3rd largest economy, rails,
