for me, a 2nd round of peace talks between russia and ukraine comes to a close with the sides at valor roost. negotiating agree, agreeing to humanitarian corridors for a vacuum ease and a possible temporary cease fire in those areas to allow us to delete with creates a picture like in hollywood is, will not be, will not be in the absolute good is embodied in the character who is the screen right to action, movie rushes, foreign minister warned that western media and politicians have taken a totally unbalanced approach to covering the crisis. and ukraine with the european union is preparing a 4th package of anti russian sanctions that could seriously backfire on to europe . so an economy with all the west continues to push

a heavily rosa phobic narrative, french journalist step forward to note that the ukranian government has actually been targeting civilians and the don boss over the past 8 years. he said that all those people, your brain people about showing you also conducted by ukrainian. yeah, definitely with watching r t international, special coverage of the war and ukraine. my name is donald quarter. welcome to the program. now the 2nd round of peace talks between the russian and ukrainian delegations has come to a close and bell roofs. the sides have agreed on humanitarian corridors for evacuees with a possible temporary cease fire in those areas to allow citizens to leave. now we're going to cross live now for more insight to r t is constantine roscoe,

who's that the negotiations site for us costs are both sides satisfied with the progress? do you think? hello dawn. well, has the cranium is a member of the credit and delegation said that they haven't found the results that they was hoping for by to at least add those size fi mutual understanding cuz they put it and they reach them sort of agreement and the humanitarian area and let me interrupt for a bit. i can hear now a helicopter that is flying really close just over my head this, this is the, the helicopter of the ukrainian delegation. i don't know if we can show it to you, but i can hear it clearly. it's yeah, it's pretty close, so that means that the delegation is leaving this place back to poland. now anyway, back to the back to the agreement. so there was a breakthrough in humanitarian era. we understand that the both the russian and

ukrainian military will create human hearing corridors for those civilians stuck stranded in the cities mostly affected by a heavy fighting show. and that means that food and medicine deliveries will be provided to those people. and that those ukrainian, or russian military will make everything possible to, to make this happen. we also understand that there will be temporary and limited these fires, but only in those areas where humanitarian corridors or created. so that's what we have in terms of the outcome of these talks. we also also know that there is going to be the 3rd round of talks pretty soon, probably within a couple of days. and that's why the 2 sides will meet again to firm everything up and sort of create

a roadmap in details to understand how they going to follow up on today's tonight's arrangements. constantine raj calling thanks a lot for breaking that down for us. the former director general of the united nations office in geneva told us that the current situation was provoked, making it practically inevitable. as the oldest like negotiations for c, v go spaces for report remains much better to have 10 years of negotiations. one day of work, but history is inevitable, whether you would like it or not. but we're in, in this case, was, there was no way actually war several times

the publicly, privately dawkins misstatements. you're going to have your grade. you read the aggression against that? yes. can look, asked woocommerce, no russian response to the russian population. and we cannot tolerate such an enemy more than the rule will be used as a n d. as a semester, down in the politic and then i got one, they're going to in whatever russian foreign minister circ a live or off has given an interview to r t and other international media outlets to address the current crisis and ukraine . he says, coverage of the conflict has been artificially scripted. these are going to human.

ukraine has long be made an anti russia springboard, undermining every other notion. thinking about the diplomatic talent of the way people have been dying by the 1000, which none of the with media had the idea to go to the done by see how people live in the ukrainian regime declared terrorist. although they did not attack anyone, the west creates a picture like in hollywood, there is evil and absolute goodman and absolute good. it embodied in the character who is the screenwriter of this action movie when moscow is trying to explain its motivated and what is called a military operation against ukraine. it seems that the questions that follow from western media are completely ignorant of what russia has been saying all along. so to that, mr. lab, rob replied that he believes that at the moment the west is listening. but it's not

hearing russia. i'm going to lose will being told, don't worry, the expression of ukraine or any other country taneesha won't be a threat to russia security. why? nor should the west define what russia requires for insecurity. they hear of, they're not listening and they're trying to impose upon of their own understanding of how to continue living in europe as well. we do have to understand that it's not really being activated. it's something that they're calling here in russia to make it ready for some kind of potential response. and i guess the response is the key word here. again, if we listen to what exactly as being said by the russian officials, this, according to the kremlin, is in reaction to the military build up of nato, its forces, its hardware on russia's doorstep. so it's not really something that can be interpreted, i guess, as russia calling the drums of nuclear war or something like that. and this is what

surg, elaborate has been explaining. it is up to the idea of nuclear war is constantly bouncing around in the heads of western politicians, not ours. i assure you will not allow any provocations to throw us off balance. now just to follow up on what i've been saying a little earlier, the messages that have been coming from moscow not only this time around, but in previous years, was about how the russian side is worried about the expansion of nato. eastwards. and also, we heard from turkey, law raw, that nato really needs to follow up on its own mission statement that it is a defensive alliance. and if it's about defense, the russian side, ben cannot understand why it keeps edging closer towards russia's borders. because

i need to speak to show that it can dictate orders in europe, you feel like you would have to defend itself. there's no one has attacked in those needs, has been constantly expanding eastward on each time union, terminating the so called lines of defend. it has already come close to the board. regime ration was away quite a few things being said by foreign minister loud rob about nato, about the actions of western countries in the past. and during this conflict as well, that leads to consequences. according to the russian foreign minister, again, crane is completely not independent in this particular situation. like it's been because it was 2014 after it was what moscow will keep calling the military to kiev when president jacobi was asked. right now i just wanna make sure that we understand that most of these were comments of surg lab roles before the next round

of negotiations between key of moscow and bella. ruth, on stay 8 rushes, military operation in ukraine with many civilians fleeing the fighting and others leaving the rubble that once was their homes. we received footage of the destruction in the city of gordon and the dunbar. the region where heavy showing has been reported. the city mayor published this video of a home, guarded by the fighting as emergency services to try to restore basic utilities like water and electricity. now we've received this footage from the village from 2 villages in the grand people's republic who, whose forces say they've taken control of a ukrainian army stronghold. and a vehicle checkpoint authorities that more than 40 towns and villages in the dunbar have now and liberty. and you're some footed from the ukrainian side. in this for did, you can see a small village, devastated on the outskirts of president say a bomb, destroyed several homes on wednesday morning and the ukrainian side is reporting the 2 people have been killed and injured in the village of the panel. right. and

these are russian arms units advancing in the key of region with buildings and infrastructure burned and damaged. following intense shelly grants, president says that more than 6000 russian soldiers have been killed or wounded over the past week. moscow has denied this claim, but says it has inflicted heavy casualties among the ukrainian military latimer zalinski added that key needs security guarantees from the west if it's not allowed to join nato and insists that ukrainians have rallied since the start of russia. special operation. do you think don't know what that did, uncle or she asked for a week ago. florian, russia invaded her treat of an independent country whose cream pat, this is an act of aggression, megalomania and persecution. red rocket artillery tank on end of the almond vehicles coming like a swarm of locust. first hours and days of a full scale will will really difficult, but we will united, which means we will strong and us,

we so lively. and so it will continue. we will stand, he died a stay more than $800000.00 people have fled the country since russia special operation began. that's according to the u. n. but there's growing criticism at the western media comparisons between those refugees and the millions who fled conflicts in the middle east and afghanistan over the past few decades. ortiz, roman culture of explains in times like these, the ugly side always shows itself what hidden becomes revealed. with her media are no exception. apparently, race is the factor that got them so riled up over ukraine. me, i'm sorry, is really emotional for me because i see euro p and people with blue eyes and blond here being shields. this isn't a place with all due respect, you know, like iraq or afghanistan says a relatively civilized are relatively european. i have to choose those words carefully to. we were in the 21st century. we were in a european city and we have cruise missile fire as though we were in

a rock rough canister. so for them people dying in iraq and afghanistan, arts also the difference. it seems and nothing can state in the path of a narrative. take this tweet, for example by b, b, c. it describe savage racism encountered by africans in ukraine. didn't look good, so they replaced it with a milder one. too bad, some one has spotted it. b, b, c, deleted this tweet about the savage racism faced by africans in ukraine and replaced it with one that soft pedals the reality. they call this blatant white washing more context and clarity or take this map. the new york times seems to have divided the people one region into separate classes. they're calling ukrainians, fleeing violence to the west. refugees, while ukrainian seeking refuge in russia are just migrants. but that's, of course, if you managed to spot it, there graphically minimize to the point of being barely visible. and these are the

very same people, again, europeans. but for them, the hardships began not in 2022, but 8 years ago. according to gin shoot os cnn. ukraine was peaceful until just days ago to us media stenographers, the don bass war that has killed $14000.00 plus people in ukraine since 2014, fueled by billions of dollars in u. s. weapons doesn't exist to media snog offers that on bus war that has killed more than 14000 people in ukraine since 2014 simply doesn't exist. peaceful wants to know more about the hardship of people in the don boss. while i was there from the very beginning and person, they witnessed the killing of civilians by artillery strikes. children, women, elderly, literally torn a port by the shelling of ukraine's army. ah,

learn these atrocities all went largely unnoticed by viewers and readers in the west. why you ask? well, the answer is simple, though skilled were proclaimed pro russian separatist. the reality seems to inconvenient for the mainstream media to report as they were nowhere near the nets . corla ganske during the conflict. no wonder it doesn't show ukraine in the best light. according to the united nations, more than 80 percent of civilian casualties in the dom boss war came in a rebel held territory and only 16 percent were in the ukranian government control territory. i've just returned from the don boss, people's republic, where many residents have been in something of a state of euphoria since russia recognized their sovereignty for them. this period

of uncertainty and hopelessness is now overt. it's doubtful. they even care now how the western media sees them, but it still doesn't. as it continues with narrative, we're the suffering of one group of people deserves coverage. in contrast, others don't as the do not fit the agenda. topography that is best when comparing the crisis in ukraine or yemen. any bombs being dropped anywhere deserves full media coverage and the plate of civilians. whether it's ukraine or in yemen should be prioritized and de escalation should be the message, but from no media pundits alike. but perhaps right now, the biggest hypocrisy in coverage that we're seeing is the complete outrage at russians really. russia military actions in ukraine by the western mainstream media, while simultaneously being completely silent for the last 7 years to the nearly

daily bombings by saudi arabia and the u. e was completely hypocritical. and part of that reason is because our media in the west has become the product of the military industrial complex. we conducted a study at mid press, actually looking at all of the up as an article published at the new york times, the washington post in the wall street journal. when found that 90 percent of those articles have taken a hawkish view on the ukraine conflict, written by pundits tied to the national security state, promoting nato as a defender of the free world, the lives that are being lost in the, in our lives that are being lost by weapons that are being manufactured and created by the west and natal allied countries. human life is a human life, no matter where war is waged and we have to end this tragedy. bradley has heavily

criticized the international paralympic committees. you turn on russian and bella, russian, sportsmen and women taking part in the beige and gains in the wake of moscow special military operation. the committee had forced them to participate as neutrals. but just one day before the paralympic start, they have now banned all $83.00 athletes together. russia, sports minister says the ruling destroys thousands of years of the olympic truce. the agreement that all people should be allowed to compete together are throwing. we are disappointed by the international paralympic committee decision, if it was unexpected. for us, the committee had changed its own decision and ended russia and russian from taking part in the games. and despite the olympic truce, where the principles of unity were proclaimed, we believe decision is politicize discrimination against the athletes. it's unfair to those who are 4 years of hard preparation. it is

a tragedy for them and we will do everything to protect the interest over us to prevent discrimination on the basis of nationality. we're considering holding competitions here. the training doesn't go away. we will challenge decision in the course, but that will take time. a french journalist has been criticized for saying that don bos residents are being targeted by the ukranian government and have been for the past 8 years. she's been filming a, she's been filming in the war torn region since 2015 and told about her experience on the air. the anchor was quite skeptical, skeptical that what she said, sir, continued dead and who did? i filled them every day. i take photos every day, save us proof. i cannot have any political message. press conflicts has been widely discussed, but it has long been over the cost, the death of 15000 people who people are devastated to all of them i ukrainians. and you know, they're extremely surprised that europe is now aware the situation that he's

selling high living in basement heavy artillery everywhere. i was filming this back in 2015, but i repeat this has been going on since 2014, on the, on the compartment. not all of us know about the situation as much as you do that since you've been following for so many years. something you said surprised him. he said that all those people are cranial about showing is also conducted by ukrainian . definitely. this is something really important and somehow it's being ignored. presidents of the don't best begin to be targeted by their own government in 2014 russian speaking citizens fell victim to shelling by key of government. it's true, i have proof, i can show it as soon as i go back to france. i have a whole documentary. it's undeniable. it's only a the showing is being carried out by russians where ukrainians you put the craniums, are showing where i am now. the ukranian government bombed it sits since children had to live in basement for

a month. the film that i made in 2015 and proof of crimes against humanity. but for my was an edgy the other day i was a school teacher to a hit, but explosion. facebook i met elderly women could not be the civilians for him. victim to heavy artillery, rocket, lone chest. i'm not very good with weapon, but i can confirm that here don't best in the russian speaking part. residential areas are still being show today. yesterday the net schools and you think the bombings are being conducted by the central training authorities. so yes, in while the ear has been preparing the 4th set of sanctions against moscow over the ukraine crisis, as announced by austria as foreign minister, that's despite some leaders, including the french president, admitting that the restrictions already imposed on russia would backfire with more . here's our t charlotte, ben, sky, president mack on of france warned

a very difficult days ahead. and he said the whole of europe would be impacted now in that address, which was made on wednesday evening here in france, who put the blame for the war in ukraine. so lead on president putin of russia. and he said the pretext that president putin had outlined for that war, i mean, was false. now he saluted what he said was the ukrainians, who were fighting for their country. and he said that there would be a plan developed to try and mitigate the impact of the sanctions here in europe actually said that they would be and not all effect does not would include price wise is, but were you every day products such as buying fuel or even foods, let's have a listen to what else precedent icon had to say, judas from flag, normal or de sick. too many economic sectors are suffering and will suffer either because they depend on imports of raw materials from russia and ukraine, or because they export to these countries are grove which is currently at its peak

will inevitably be affected. the increase in the price of oil gas and raw materials has and will have an impact on our purchasing our small, i have asked the prime minister to drive an economic and social resilience plan in the coming days to address all these difficulties. madison president, michael also addressed the refugee crisis at the moment saying that france was ready to open its arms, its hands to those who are fleeing war in the country at the moment. just to give you a sense of the scale of that, at least here in europe, at the u. n says around 1000000 refugees have had to flee ukraine. it's described this as being an exodus, and it has cool for the guns to be put down for at the war to stop if only for humanitarian assistance to be able to get in to the country to help millions and millions of others at. meanwhile, companies here in the you are offering free flights and free trade to those are

from ukraine who have had to flee their country in order to help them get to destinations elsewhere in europe. we have also heard over the last few days of other european politicians, also warning about how those sanctions against russia will come to bite here in europe to and as airlines are facing restrictions with them not being able to fly into russia and russia having bend some airlines from the you coming back into the u. this is this tit for tat over who can fly in which air space at some airline see that they are already feeling the pinch of this bypassing, the russian air space lengthened flight times to asia considerably. and thus the operation of most of our passenger and cargo flights to asia is not economically sustainable or competitive. there's also the fall out of course of those individuals who are listed on the sanctions list just for example, in the u. k. a roman brom of it. sure has been the owner of chelsea football club.

i he's only ok. he says he's now selling the club and there are reports that he's trying to offload several of his multi 1000000 pound properties in london as a result of what's happening at the moment. one university in milan, attempted to try and ban, of course, or at least postpone a course on dostoevsky. the russian writer saying that with these tense times, that you know, they could be strong, internal disagreements and tensions as a result of that. however, there was a backlash to that decision, including from the italian ex prime minister, mateo renzi, who described that decision is insane. and as a result of that, just a ascii is back on the menu. thanks for watching r t special coverage of the war in ukraine. our broadcast is now coming to a close for this hour. thanks a lot for watching and good bye. oh,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation. let it be an arms race group is often very dramatic, that development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time time to sit down and talk who is your media? a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe. isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, now she is a christina. it isn't with us. but i'm the one who knows. maybe you know what can you heard or said down with bob. bob? ah,

with a few of those with united states has always had a variety of tools in use and tax on other countries. economic sanctions are, are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about here.

and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the whole world. and we need to make rules for the rest because without out there we can do ah, the more i thought that i'm just talk about the whole vignettes could

e and was unable to even have a policy that was our community here so that it would have been up to them. yes. need to look. i know a book that i bought a delaney no. what you me okay. beautiful with the british jew e. what done literally says he said we do want us, but he's ready to go. when was more what it is or what? so anyway, give newkirk was a computer thing with the same use really to m. o, was there a puerto on no sleep, she put it in the what it so it's not enough easiest. now will it look a day? sure, this cibola phillip way in adar credentials is, but that is richer bethel is for the well what this mostly be detail on the sure. yes. what pleasure. what for the well look at, i didn't miss you.
