that's my new podcast. i'm avalanche, i'm up and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divide and denied that. and this i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you with, ah ah, this is jeremy news live from bro and sham trial. the west criticizes april. russia court sentencing 3 foreign fighters to death. russia back authority say their mercenaries, not prisoners of war. we'll hear from a friend of one of the fighters also on the show. deadly offensive ukraine says

rushes, grinding assaults in the east is killing as many as 200 ukrainian soldiers every day is calling for more weapons from the west to defend itself. also coming up democracy in danger. the panel investigating the attack on the u. s. capital goes public when it's monday, january 6 was the culmination of an attempted coup. lawmakers show previously on the video of the violence. leave the blame wearily on former us president donald trump. ah, hello, i'm a rock. thank you so much for joining us. the united nation says the trial of 3 foreign fighters in ukraine by a pro russian court could amount to a war crime courts in the self declared burnett's people's republic sentence. the 3

men, 2 brits and one rocking to death. it alleges they were mercenaries, and therefore not prisoners of war. western nations have denounced the trial calling it a sham and a breach of the rules of war. earlier we spoke to my was gone so de a friend of the moroccan national by him. so do we asked him how he learned about what happened to brain fall on april 17th. i figured out that he's captured by seeing the video paying being entered viewed, well, it's surrender and i read to go over news about like, you know, those british nationals being like they're at risk of being sentenced to death. so then i started doing research and i found out that my friend bry him is toler, also with them. and so he's at that risk. so 1st of all, i started to, you know,

i have, i was an attorney and i was so sad, then i decided that i gotta, i gotta act, i gotta, you know, make actions and help my friend to get out of there. so i started, the safe, brought him come pain, and yeah, pretty much what i'm doing right now. he's not a mercenary. i have all the copies of his documents, all those contract signing with the arm. it's for you cream. so he's not a mercury. he is. you know like the, the folder of the ukraine and army and i have all the documents verifying. 1 and confirming that just signed that contract in november of 2021. and that was them, or as the i've gone as a day, a friend of the moroccan national berain for doing question sentenced to death. i asked rachel denver of human rights watch what she makes of the self declared. and that's people's republics. claim that the 3 men are not protected by international

conventions on prisoners of war. that is a completely false and defiantly, legally nihilistic claim. these men absolutely are protected by the geneva convention. the geneva conventions say that there are the people who are detained in come a have to be presumed to be peer w's until proven otherwise. so even if the, this person authorities, the freshman proxies, even if they claim that these men are mercenaries, they would have to prove it in what's called a status determination hearing. and that would have to be a fair and impartial proceeding where they would put out the facts that show that these men were in fact guns for hire foreign fighters who were legally recruited and integrated into the the cranium military. the geneva conventions absolutely

permits. warren parties to recruit and hire and to deploy foreign fighters as long as they integrate into the military. so, you know, are subject to a command, you know, a chain of command and you know, where uniforms in obey international humanitarian law. so there was need this kangaroo court didn't bother to hold the status of termination, hearing a held a completely unfair, rushed sham hearing. and i think it's important to say that any, even if, even if they were mercenary, they're still entitled to justice. the community conventions make it very clear that anybody detained by a war party is entitled to a fair hearing. and failure to provide a fair is a one time. so this is completely outrageous. it seems that seems that there are a number of facts that point to the fact that these men are, in fact a members of the ukrainian military. and this hearing was

a total sham and nihilistic violation of the junior conventions. ritual number of human rights watch speaking to us earlier. ukraine meanwhile says as many as 200 of its soldiers are being killed every day. with a war in the east rapidly becoming an artillery battle. ukrainian officials are urgently calling for more heavy weaponry. according to key russia has between 10 and 15 times as much artillery equipment. moscow's focus remains on the eastern dom bass region, which has been partially occupied by pro russian separatist since 2014 and did have a correspond nicoli is in mc elias and southern ukraine as the reports from their russia shelling the city. that's right, layla, we're here mc alive, which is basically the closest big city to the front lines here in the southern part of the country. the whole world's been talk about don't best for weeks,

but the fighting continues here just as i speak to. now i can hear artillery in the distance. we understand that the front lines presently about 20 to 25 kilometers away from the city. and the russians are bringing heavier artillery with a long range of firepower. close that front line. so basically, anywhere in the city is potentially a target, people dying every couple of days. and it's interesting, see how people react. you kind of see them in going about their lives sitting in cafes, ignoring most of the fire and then occasion when it keeps on going for too long based, slightly start getting bit nervous, looking around, trying to stand, how big the risk is for them or to people who have stayed here have made that choice, knowing the threat, knowing that this is a city that the russians have been trying to get. since the start of that they were trying to cut you crane or on the black sea in its entirety. they got hit song which is a city near by just from leaving or annex crimea, and they were hoping to take the whole coastline may be moved towards moldova, to basically create land bridge between those russian back separatist, moldova,

and crimea. and don bass to defeat, since that ukraine current is a country, there's fighting on several fronts. and lots of people dying every day across the country. if it doesn't make the headlines abroad and the war and nick is continuing to take a grueling toll, ukraine is saying it's now losing as many as 200 fighters a day. that's almost double the official figure of just a week ago. what exactly changed on the ground? that's right later. well, russia has been changing his tactics since the start since those failures in the north when they were busy trying to take the whole country in one go with none of troops finished, lea pulled back from cave and from the north, and they focused on don bass here the south and also had give and now they're basically throwing their hat have at don bass at a small section. the front line around that city of sort of the network that has been so much focused on media coverage recently. and i think the real basic problem here is that ukraine has enough people who want to fight, but it doesn't have the kit to give them the weapons to put them in uniform and put

them on the front lines. russia is able to out gun ukraine, currently, lots of different figures doing the rounds, but present lensky saying that every artillery piece are every bit of ammunition that ukraine has. russia has another 10. now ukraine is proving more effective and better using what it has using more wisely, more effectively in a more targeted way. but also that's a very dis, a very unfortunate ukraine. it can proportion of power. and right now, the kinds of things that the western countries that tried support ukraine just simply don't get it. they think they're delivering ukraine a lot of weapons. and it might be compared to what the european country gets through in a normal year of doing exercises. and piece time, but compared to a water situation where you have fighting basically around the clock or a long 100 lamps frontline, it just simply isn't enough. and ukraine is too often having to choose too carefully when to return fire to protect its people and having to basically sacrifice troops to keep back its weapons for the bigger target. so this is really difficult situation. the hope now that those livers will finally accelerate and a few words, nick, having said all that, can ukrainians still turn the tide?

i think the belief is here when you see be with him, michael over here in a city that was attacked like the place i am here with the destroyed government buildings. people going about their everyday life near by. i think they are confident that the army here is able to hold up, that people haven't just run away and that the people in charge have been willing to turn up and take the risk. but there is different the fear of ukraine fatigue in the west was basically ukraine has used up all its own supplies of weapons of soviet produce weapons. so basically everything it fires now front lines comes from america, comes from the u. k. comes from the western countries and without those deliveries they really believe will be in a very big, difficult position. so they just worry that rising prices and other crises are going to distract decision makers and only people in the west and stock that flow of weapons that is keeping this country going to double correspondence at nicoli reporting from nikolai of thank you so much for your continued coverage, nick and these are the other stories that we're keeping an eye on right now. german
