every minute i have a family friends, i thought i was home before this really home as you depreciate. why? ah, tensions amount in don't bath with a massive explosion going off near a tv station and don't get ukrainian forces step up best selling the been newly recognized for public the 1st wave of sanctions targeting moscow are triggered by the west. but russia wanted the global energy market on which the most pain will be inflicted that defend this decision to protect the russian speaking population. don't back with 90000 have led to violence there in recent days, by crossing the border. if the neighboring russia party speak to, some of the refugee were extremely terrified. that's why. when we heard about the vaccination, we gave up everything and came here,

volunteers helped law and even organized a little show for the children with the dogs. the 1st i was very emotional, it helped us to cheer a very well welcome from all of our team here in moscow. you're watching all t international with the very latest world news updates not dominating the headlines. this is the fall out of the ukraine crisis. so we start in dumbass with the newly recognized republics i've done yet skinned like guns remain under attack, sustain shelling house, disrupted the war to supply in a number of areas. ortiz, where mom call to have and to more down you have report from the to republics. it is a little bit comic here in la guns than it was yesterday, for example, on the night of the early hours of the morning. but again, a comma is a very relative time here. this the telling, the violence will start back up again. it could be in 10 minutes,

it could be in an hour. and there is no telling how long it would go on for the artillery shelling the gunfire closer to the front lines. over the course of the night, there were multiple shells that impacted on the outskirts of the city. and that they were very loud explosions, especially about around 3 am. we've also seen. 3 the remains footage of the remains of a car vehicle, allegedly hit by a guided missile, which killed 2 civilians while they were traveling along the road. this is according to local authorities. there was also a depot here in la guns that was here. we heard that the explosion is not a long way away from us, but this was incredibly loud explosion. the chatted glosson caused all sorts of damage at the depot, given that it was in the early hours of the morning. there are no reports of, of civilian casualties. a civilian house was also hits it. it bugs entirely its own

as to the vacuum. it again, according to locals, just a day before the russia, as part of the say are as part of this general evacuation that we've seen in the dumbass region. aside from that is also of course, optimism that soon this could be added. people here are thought after 8 years of hard enough violent shelling and and more that psychologically exhausted, mentally exhausted. physically, todd, and, and all they want these east for this war to finally end. they believe russia's recognition of the to break away republic hip lugens can could be the beginning of that end with a night. dive a sub with

him in his motion. go with the new the shots even though it's michelle immersion doesn't get dragon with the movie yet. on the some with still, you know, seeing you who do i give you a blue which no one has got messed up with this one. what. what other movie do stone one beach hotel june or july august that it oh, i see it. the worst opinion does is sheila, sheila, of course, and the optimism is being tempered by, by reality here. and reality is such that there is no telling when and how this

will and said you, there are no indications that there's going to be an end to this to this violence any time soon. we've seen the collapse of negotiations the, the minsk agreements, and perhaps something here in the solution will be a, a military one. the blast occurred here in the anesco around 01. am it was it happened at a guarded tv station and not far away from my where we are right now. the blast? well, when it took place, there were employees there, the tv station, the station is called the 1st republican channel around or doesn't sound louise. we're at work at that point. fortunately. no one, no was heard, was heard in the plaza and apparently it was an explosive device. now we went to the scene where it happened, sans as spoke to some of the employees, and this is what they told us about their experience. we previous earliest months

after the explosion, we came to have a look and saw broken glass. i didn't see evidence of it containing anything additional, so it was likely just an explosive to, to proceed with them off after having a look around. we felt it's most likely that someone through the explosive, over the fence. it's not a shell. maybe it's an intimidation act, as we understand the war is not only at the frontline, it's also in the information space. no, that was closed. i think it is be a threat to journalists to say there will be further terror attacks against them. now our shelling hearing anesco hasn't been as a frequency, and so the sun came up, however, over the last few days. so it was so quite a lot of artillery duels along the front lines. and on tuesday we received a report that says multiple a rocket launchers had been used by the ukrainian or military now around 4 o'clock or this morning. from the village of spar talk on the outskirts of the city. was the shelled as well as the result of several houses,

a court. a war caught on fire and apparently a mortar fire was used by the cranium. military also sees fire violations had been recorded by the o. s. c, a monitoring mission. the here in donors can the ball across the front line. however, ukrainian authorities are denying and he sees far violations and also denying allegations by their republics that their army is preparing for an offensive against the elegance can said the next republics. meanwhile, the red cross are also working here in a don boss, and they been here since the very beginning of the conflict in 2014 and their, their mission is so their task is to liver of food. i heating coal. oh, drinking water technical water to all the residents that live closer to the front lines. and we went on one of their emissions on a tuesday when they were delivering a water tank said to the village of you lenika,

that was a shell the multiple times. and as the result there, a water supply had been cut all fund a around the $20000.00 residents in the village, and around that area have no access to a drink in water or technical water whatsoever. now we spoke to the head of the international committee of the red cross submission here in done as kansas. this is his view on the current situation. the international committee of that across is very concerned about the developments we have witnessed in the don bus over the past few days and times of conflict and violence. it is essential that all sides ensure the continuous supply of a sufficient quantity of drinking water as well as other essential basic supplies to meet the daily needs of the civilian population on both sides of the line of contact. unfortunately, the recent intensification of the fighting has again certain keys central services at risk of coming to a full stop. the ice r c would like to stress that we vowed urgent action to protect essential services

. in areas where the hostilities take place, we might face humanitarian implications at the large scale. now the last recorded shelling here in jeanette scott took place around 4 am like i mentioned, and it has been relatively quiet since then. we haven't heard any artillery fire here in a sense or like what we've gotten used till the last few days. of course, local residents are hoping that said piece will remain, are hoping that the shutting will stop and they can finally return to their normal lives. on tuesday, the federation council, russia, is the upper house, gave the president permission to use military forces abroad to conduct a peacekeeping mission. ukraine blasted bent decision calling. it's an app service gresh at me because president putin said he didn't mean trips would be deployed immediately. that decision will depend on the situation on the ground. earlier, my colleague sandra hawkins and electron could discuss the situation before you

took us, but he said, you know that i see it. if you do not see everything that's been said, doesn't mean at the moment that the russian troops are marching across the border, that there was an army hardware is currently being sent over to the republics of don bass. mr. brewton went on to talk about how important these decisions are in the context of the actual will of the locals. and he went back to talk about how the referendum inquiry. mia happened, went overwhelmingly the population there voted to join russia. we remember that about 7 years ago, the peoples of don ed scan lugens, these 2 don bass republics, voted to be separated from ukraine. so mister putin reminded the west of how important it is to listen to these people and called it the highest form of

democracy. referring to these referendums junior. the 1st thing that must be done by everyone is to recognize the will of the people who live in sylvester poll and crimea. and i have said that many times and want to underline it once again. how is this referendum worse than what happened in kosovo? nothing was in kosovo. they made a decision through the parliament and here through referendum. mm hm. and i want to underline it one more time. no one did that at gunpoint, no one forced them to go to the voting stations. they did it voluntarily. when they made this decision to join russia and we should respect this decision. now, something else that was very important that mr. put me clear. it was that pretty much as the minsk agreements don't exist any more. but despite what the western leaders are saying, present, vladimir putin says that the key of is entirely to blame for doing. and that was really making a step towards resolving the situation by peaceful means. and yesterday,

during the security council meeting, it was said that thanks to the efforts of the current care of authorities, this is all been reduced to 0. that's why the minsk agreements were destroyed long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republic of the dumbass. if we look at the 1st 2 key elements of the minsk agreements, that they are giving special status to the donors can lugens credence and also making changes to the cranium. constitution that would give these 2 regions more autonomy and independence from key of in many decisions. but under petro porsche ankle, hon dimmers, and n zalinski. none of these steps have been made by keir. well, after the kremlin sufficient to recognize the independence of le ganske and on yeske, the west to rounded on russia, entricken, a barrage of punitive measures, the latest countries to join this, that is, sanctions fest against russia,

australia, and japan. moscow with warned so that the measures are likely to end up hitting unintended targets. there is no doubt that the sanctions imposed against us will hurt the global financial and energy markets. the united states will also feel these sanctions. prices will rise and ordinary people will feel the consequences. over the past 7 years, the u. s. has done nothing to convince the ukrainian leadership of the need to comply with the men's agreements. instead, washington has encouraged inaction within the key of regime. washington looked on as the russian speaking population in the country face persecution. we could not keep allowing threat of destruction and the death of civilians and don bass. no more shopping in milan and parting in sandra pe, that's where they use top diplomat. joseph beretta tweeted before swiftly deleting it off the brussel slapped sanctions on a list of influential russians with more of the european reaction to russia.

decision to defend the people have don't boss his polis. lia started by talking after a press conference in belgium. he did say that moscow has moved from covert to overt military action, saying that the nato, a lion has evidence to court that russia is planning a military attack on ukraine. and in fact, he said, all the way back since 2014 russia has had a presence in the don bus. now he accused rushes recognition of guns and the nic as to quote, a serious escalation by russia. that is a flagrant violation of international law. he says that the ukraine is a highly valued partner who nato supports an. any attack on an ally would require a response from all he also. ringback say that nato welcomes the sanctions and the hope of the naught stream to earlier today we could hear from the german chancellor

that they were putting on hold any kind of ratification process for this and water pipeline. that until now, the german republic has been reluctant to include the north stream to any kind of sanction. but now it has. and we are hearing that nature has increased its presence in the baltic states and has plans in place to reassure and defend its allies. so that's what we're hearing at the moment, out of brussels, with the whole thing off the nord string, to pipeline triggering debate on how people in germany will be affected. we conversed. opinions, pulling is oh, should people hear liver you mention done? do we want to buy fracking gas from the usa or did us america and canada and also get my gas from russia talk? no one is talking about is all and yet they want us to turn our towel. so foster, i honestly don't think it's right dot and that doesn't have anything to do with the

region. that is just my opinion. and i just think it's sad, but again, it's being played out as clinical level given because of course, you need to have some sort of leverage. but russia has always been a reliable parcels, can be referring to high personally think it is a power game between the involved parties. and personally, i have the impression that we b as individuals have little influence on the outdoor like a reaction from camels sabelle. india's former foreign secretary, he says, germany's decision comes as a surprise and could aggravate to europe the energy crisis when i think they are being up there. sure. why didn't i just states? i was surprised that when john charles was in the lighthouse standing next to him, president biden said already categorically that the not to pipeline will be stopped. and he said, i promise you it will be strong as if the germans have no agency. and there's, and i'm sure it made the chancellor of germany look very small, very unfortunate. now already the gas prices have gone up by about 400 percent in

the last few years. and the, and the public and the consumer in europe is all they do something very heavily from high gas prices. and if i'm not trying to get stopped, this will add to the best that there's all that he did on the ground and of the consumers. it just doesn't make sense on the one hand, the logic is that some kind of interdependence or is it kind of pushing against things going well? but in this case, there is a clear image relative to the sources. just the sources go to meet them. we seem to so for both sides keeps the gas prices the cheap so and then the pipeline has been built. well meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking has cancelled a meeting with his russian counts part. so again, law for off saying he sees no point in it after moscow recognize the dumbass

republics. and it comes with the us on valid sanctions. these will target to launch financial institutions as well as russian individuals and their family members. the criminal claims these punitive measures to like the european ones, will only back fire president job bind, and also about to send more troops to nato member countries in eastern europe. we have no intention of fighting russia. we want to send an unmistakable message though, that united states together with our allies, will defend every inch of nato territory. ukraine and nato is really been an argument, an excuse to mask the fact that what this is about is present to you that ukraine is not a sovereign country. we spoke with the journalist on dallas, kate in mansfield. he said that biden has conceded the sanctions against russia will also have an impact on the american people. if severe sanctions go through,

you know, biden, in his address. his very short address that he gave today said that he wants to minimize, the pain felt by the, by the sanctions on the american people. so he's already admitted on live international television that these sanctions are going to hurt the american people . and in my opinion, that is just going to further turn the american people, his constituents that have elected to, into office against binding did portray this as an invasion. the problem with that kind of rhetoric that what has happened is an invasion of ukraine is you cannot invade a country that you are welcomed into by the people and the government, not invasion. it's a peacekeeping mission. the, the government of the don bass region has been asking russia to recognise them since the euro maiden who that put in the anti russians

a lindsey government ukraine, and don bass declared itself sovereign. while the west is busy condemning russia for his recognition of the dumbass republics, it seemed the house gotten a recent page in its own history. in 2008, casa, became europe's youngest country, after nato's bombing of the former yugoslavia ot, he's done, armstrong. take the closer look at how that all came about. the old saying goes, those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. but in the west, it seems that those who don't know their own history are doomed to accuse others of their own wrong. doing the west is worst of bran. russia's recognition of the guns and the nets. republics. as a violation of international law. who in the lord's name was prudence gives them the right to declare new, so cor, countries on territory the belonged, whose neighbors? the so flagrant violation of international law and demands of firm response from the national community. however, look not too far back into the annals of history,

suggest that it might not be about respect for the law at all in 1099, nate, so completely bypass the u. n. by not seeking authorization for a bombing campaign in bel, great. even just one day is a long time in politics, but for $78.00 days straight, that the bombs rained down in serbia. it seems that no one in the west took time to ponder its legality. but then the killing of hundreds of civilians was handily explained the way as reasonable force under the chart of the security council has primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. and this is explicitly acknowledged in the north atlantic treaty. therefore, the counsel should be involved in any decision to resort to the use of force. and not long after that history repeated itself, the usa didn't fancy waiting around for you and clearance on the invasion of iraq or whether it complied with international law. they simply went to war, that didn't exactly err on the side of legal either. a wall waged without

a clear mandate by the security council would constitute flagrant violation of the prohibition of the use of force. security council resolution 1441 does not authorize the use of force. now ok, we may not be talking about war here, but the recognition of breakaway regions as independent. but if we take another look back, can surprise surprise. we see another example straight from the usa textbook. washington was full of congratulations for customer after recognizing its independence in light of the conflicts of the 1990 s. independence is the only viable option to promote stability in the region back then they said it was the only peaceful resolution, but it seems there is no a deering to tradition as regards to luke guns and annette regions now. so those who do not learn lessons from history may be doomed to repeat it. but when it comes to the west, the u. s. and nato, it seems a total lack of awareness means they blindly accuse others of repeating their own history without ever gazing back at their own checkered past. with life becoming

increasingly dangerous in dumbass due to shelling by ukraine, many have been fleeing to russia. i the 93000 refugees have now crossed the buddha, haughty stone quota is in the russian city of ross to london with a group of volunteers helping the new arrivals. up to 90000 don boss, evacuees have made their way across the border into the russian federation. first arriving at one of the many temporary housing facilities in ra stove region until making their way to another longer term location. now, what we see behind me are trucks that are carrying the 1st massive delivery of humanitarian aid here, organized by the united russia party. because it takes a lot of supplies to make sure that many people can live as comfortably as possible . now accompanying this humanitarian aid delivery are the emergency services of russia to help the situation as well as thousands of volunteers from moscow, the suburbs of moscow and from other regions of the russian federation. as more and

more don boss evacuees had been making their way across the russian border. they've been telling us that these temporary housing locations have been well equipped. everyone's being provided free lunch breakfast, dinner. they have a warm place to stay at night. and this delivery of humanitarian aid is going to make sure that situation stays that way. donald quarter r t ra stove. with a large influx of new arrivals to russia's southern roast of regions, them 125 shelters have been set up there. auntie visited one of the temporary accommodation centers in high from refugees about the hopes and the face. ah, the listeners, my children have grown up. my daughter works at medical university. she can't leave

and the grandchildren left with their mother, god willing, they will stay safe. ah and i have arrived was just placed little bag and my sized back back, you know, we only brought essential documents and a few close. we didn't manage to bring per saw thanks such a shampoo or so will a given that here. mm she is it? well, i do not see them in 2014 over harshly sheldon, not the cells were flying above all ahead. constantly hiding in sellers who were extremely terrified. that's why when we heard about the vaccination, we gave up everything and came here. ah,

that's a legitimate we had children for the oh, fish come we a lot fun volunteers helped law and even organized a little show for the children. when the dodged the 1st i was very emotional. it helped us to cheer up. i would love to hear your thoughts on this story and everything else i did get in touch by following up on social media meeting, all your comments, that will be back at the top of the with over the latest to see that ah ah ah, ah, ah, with here across the entire russian capital, this is audrey international with

my math guys are more of my guide to financial survival. this is a hedge fund. it's a device used by professional daily wags to earn money. that's right. these headphones are completely not accountable. and we're just adding more and more to them totally, the stabilizing global economy, you need to protect yourself and get in for what guys with this is the beginning of a russian invasion of ukraine. president biden, we found about the latest tension between russia and ukraine, calling for his latest move and invasion, and the u. s. relocate ukraine embassy staff to poland, canada. question the future of their freedom as prime minister guests inter, when the house vote on emergencies asked all the while

a single mom is locked out of her own bank account for donating the $50.00 to the freedom convoy. then our political panel talks about the possibility of this year's mid terms of turning bread. and the new sta chief says he wants to fight misinformation. but what does that really mean? all that i'm more right here on our t america. ah, this a flagrant violation of international law and demands of firm response from international community. so today i'm announcing the 1st tranche of sanctions to impose cost on russia in response to their actions yesterday. hello, and thank you so much for joining us. i'm natasha. sweet and 1st, scotty now hughes as tensions between russia and ukraine continue. it appears that many surrounding countries have

a strong opinion on the matter. united nations security council, along with the u. s. and 6 other countries held an emergency meeting monday at the request of ukraine. according to a letter, a, you and ambassador are said hooton's actions were in violation of the un charter. but the russian president called for his country's forces to maintain peace in eastern ukraine territories. 2 completely different stories being told here. a white house official was quoted as saying, rushes move of acknowledge the independence of the 2 regions and ukraine is the start of it. hopes invasion well being pressured to issue sanctions against russia . president biden spoke tuesday afternoon. let me be clear. these are totally differential moves on our part. we have no intention of fighting russia. russian president vladimir putin also spoke frankly about assumptions that he wanted to put to rest just to russia, made a decision yesterday to recognize the sovereignty of to don both peoples republics

. i would like to say it right here. we see, and we anticipate speculations on this issue that russia wants to restore the empire within the empires. borders. this is totally false. president pullman went on to explain what the true motivation was behind monday's move issue. i will repeat now the situation with ukraine is different and it has to do with the fact that unfortunately, the territory of this country is being used by 3rd countries to create threats against the russian federation. this is the only point and from where we bring and john jordan, a former navy intelligence officer, thanks so much for joining us, john. my pleasure, natasha. so i want to start with something that biden said during his speech. let's take a lesson. as we respond, my administration is using every tool our disposal protect american businesses and consumers.
