[000:00:00;00] help a few people manage to escape matthew polt, 3 agreed humanitarian corridors. as the russian defense ministry says fighters from the far right of battalion are stopping refugees from leaving message. just in the name of this town. sounds exactly the same in russia and ukraine in languages it means had been in english, but it wasn't exactly lucky to visit the town which spent 8 years in the firing line between ukrainian and don bassett, both speaking to locals on the ground, ukraine's president lambs, nato's decision not to introduce a no fly zone over the country as the russian foreign minister claims the landscape,

trying to push nato into direct conflict with russia. and it turns out that he seeks to provokes a conflict with the participation of the night between 9 and russia, with thousands of the state to the street. the bell, great in support of russia wall and opposite valley is seen in georgia, with ukraine's president by a live link called urging more people to protest against russia's offensive. ah, you're watching our international life from moscow is just gone 7 pm here in the russian capital. my name is peter scots and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis with the war in ukraine now into it's tense day. let's start the program by taking a very quick look at some of the latest developments. nato has rejected the idea of

imposing a no fly zone in ukraine. in response crane's precedence, buddy miss zalinski accused the lines of weakness. the un high commissioner for refugees said further conflicts in ukraine may result in irreversible damage on geopolitical and humanitarian levels. meanwhile, 2 german t. v channels a r d and d f. a joint scene in a bloomberg in their move to temporarily suspend broadcasts in russia. this comes as fist fighting in ukraine continues with losses on both sides. and of course we'll be looking at some of those headlines in more detail ahead in the program. rushes defense ministry claims more than 200000 refugees have been cut off from the humanitarian corridors that have just been set up to us after moscow agreed on the sci fi with key f. along with the provision of a safe exit route for locals. ortiz roman coarser has the latest on that. they were agreed upon. now, in the talks between russia and ukraine in villa ru says,

we know that was happening, but after humanitarian corridors opened up at 12 pm, this saturday, rush of defense ministry reported that out of the 215000 people expected to evacuate from city sofa mario full and the city of all of our, the neighboring cities. well, no people had actually shown up out. we did receive a report over the last few days that some people actually did managed to escape from nearby cities to mario full. but those numbers are too low, it's like 5 here, 3 here, so not a lot of people managed to escape and it was very dangerous. and so these people, they made their own roots and really risked their lives. now, according to the russian defense ministry, the humanitarian court doors were open. throughout the day, people could take an opportunity and leave,

but unfortunately they said thousands of low calls and foreigners, they're blocked in the city because the city is encircled by this or is all defends battalion called the us off. let's hear from the russian defense ministry. what they said about that good, you good each is keep the she grade book grouped. you humanitarian corridors have been opening daily. but the national battalions have categorically stopped attempts by civilians to exit towards the russian federation city a little taking into account the insistent requests of the ukrainian cy, a cease fire has once again been declared today exclusively for humanitarian purposes, for the exit of civilians from mary u ha. unfortunately, according to our information, out of the declared 200000 refugees from mary paul and 15000 from bono vaca, not one has arrived at the open humanitarian corridors. it is established that nationalists are not letting civilians and foreign citizens out. now the mayor of my rou, paula, he made a statement. he claimed that everything was ready. everything was in place for the

evacuation of for refugees. and the heathen said that they began to inform and collect residence at certain locations for the accusation. to begin, he said that even the red cross was present to assist with evacuation, but he said it was impossible to to do to perform because showing by a russian army had begun. now on the other hand, we had to rush defense ministry who also made a claim that they have ariel footage, showing that there were absolutely no attempts made to gather is people to provide a safe passage for them out of the area. and russian defense ministry insisted that ukraine use this time of ceasefire to actually regroup and to strengthen their positions. now we also received unconfirmed reports earlier in the day that a building collapse as

a result of an explosion in myrtle and buried at least $200.00 local residents in the rubble. now, once again, this is unconfirmed but certainly shows how alarming the situation there is and how desperate people are to leave this affected area where you certainly painted quite a grim picture of the situation in multiple. now when the sun ukrainian army has left the area, why has the evacuation not got underway yet? is it purely because of the shelling? well, yes and no of the ukrainian army might have left. they might have not ever been present in this city of maria. and here we need to make a very important look where to distinguish between the ukranian army. and so the so called the territorial defense battalions and the city of variable battalion is called as off and according to the people's republic. authorities, as of battalion are using terror tactics in order scare peaceful surveillance. now we do know for a fact that this battalion has

a neo nazi affiliations. they've even been accused by the united nations of committing war crimes over the years. and they've been present in the city of maria for the entire 8 years that this conflict had been going on. now, i worked in the done boss, have been covering the conflict there for the last 8 years. and i myself, i witnessed the atrocities that were committed by the, by the representatives of this battalion. and there's another one called i dar door presence in different territories. it has people's republic and i saw mass graves. i saw the results of executions. i saw their uniforms carrying a nazi symbol, so quite a lot of people in the world, but certainly not enough. know about what, not what this nazi as all battalion is. so here's a clip for you. take a look

a while the problem with humanitarian corridors continues somebody who pl residents are understood, so monies to escape. they have subsequently been accommodated in a cum, settled by russia. underneath group public officials say at least 17 people left the city. say for the camp is what those who fled how to say this. we immediately got into our cars and left us. was it scary? good. it was 6 in the morning. we were sleeping in the same room. there were 7 of us. we huddled together on one sofa and a shelf,

flew into the next room. we opened our eyes all the smoke in the sky above us. i don't know how we survived. 17 people including 5 children are here. every one has provided with medical and psychological assistance. they say it was very difficult . they were under fire. meanwhile, the russian, the foreign minister, has claim that's all authorities in a city of got a song in ukraine, self refused to accept russian humanitarian aid. love rove also blamed maria pull authorities in the done yet screeching for not letting local residence leave the area by humanitarian corridors. most case, very much concerned about this kind of hostage situation. the civilians are currently in. we heard from russia's foreign minister speaking at the press briefing with his caregiver counterpart. he said that the reason information that to local authorities in here. so in a big city on the black sea at regional capital,

that just to recently fell under the control of the russian army, refuse to accept humanitarian aid provided by moscow, while the innocent civilians in another city of mary, your pearl, again in the south, are not allowed to evacuate using humanitarian corridors. here is what mr. oliver of had to say. did he go to printers? not us, who screw ukrainian scheme, a good, a good fingering talks between the russian and ukrainian delegations. it was announced that everyone satisfaction that there was agreement on the creation of humanitarian corridors. we expect, or at least expected disagreement to be clearly implemented. our military did all the work expected of them. the main thing now is for people to be let out of the cities through the humanitarian corals. with him, with our military provide security today, information has already appearing on social networks with the let's republic has said that the mary hugh pally or forty's is refusing to provide residents with the opportunity to leave free the monetary on colorado's,

which was created by russian forces mit to la rove also added that the fact that ukraine's president mister zalinski, so unhappy with nature's decision not to interfere in the war here, could indicate that he's been interested in provoking a direct conflict between the lions and russia. russia's foreign minister also complained that the ukraine inside is doing its best to postpone to, to, to delay. the 3rd round of these talks between moscow and kia for the ukrainian side never accepted any of the russian suggestions about when to have these never set up any day. meanwhile, i am in the city of atlanta. now the capital of logan's peoples, republican. we have been traveling a lot across the republic in the last 7 days, and we have been able to speak to local residents who have been suffering here in

the last 8 years. and everybody told us that they are waiting for the results of these piece talks with high hopes hoping for peace. of course, here's my report. this is chastity. and the name of this town sounds exactly the same in russia and ukraine in languages. it means happiness in english, but it wasn't exactly lucky. it is on the very front line. it has been dramatically destroyed. locals even compare it with stalingrad, located near a river on a strategic high point chest here. so fears shelling, 8 years ago, dear in caves. so cold county terror peroration in this region, recent battles over the town between the ukrainian military and the army of the login's republic, left even more scars fiercely boilers. some sort of melee combat going on endlessly for a week. i don't know where they are shooting from. maybe the trees may be somewhere else, but it forces us to hide in the basement home to at least 12000 people. a decade

ago. to day the town is deserted and the lives of those who decided to stay seemed to have turned into quest for survival. few mike or some kind of projectile stuck. i don't know what it is. i am not a military man. but if there were no pillars, 2 houses would have been destroyed. walk bust marshal law has been introduced. there are a road blocks with constant checking route. i don't know how to live normally if you can't do anything and go anywhere as everything is mine. when we were in town, there was no electricity, no gas, no running water, no connection. if you shop still functioning, closed before noon, church services are held only on sundays. the shelling left one of the walls destroyed. it's cold and dangerous inside. it's hard to believe this place is habitable, this is there a commendation for population on how to behave during war during chalet. like find a concrete wall, if you are outside

a lay down on the ground. if you are in the field and hear what's marked rad is not exactly a good idea, like wearing uniform for example, or approaching windows, follow near us. we're not leaving. but moving to another apartment where they're at least intact windows. it's hard to live there with them being broken. the new authority, say work has already begun to repair infrastructure and provide security for locals . there is still hope that one day, the town so brightly named happiness can finally find it once again, roofing ocean a r t from shuster in the guns gray public. in other parts of ukraine fighting is ongoing in the don bus region, the retreating ukrainian army is allegedly destroying infrastructure along its way, according to the russian military. despite that, the forces of the done yet unless guns grew publix continued to advance with russian military help. again, that is, according to moscow,

this unverified footage from the ukrainian capital shows a huge explosion said to be in the western parts of the city every time and are still being founded occasionally. with authorities asking people leave the home on here is footage from the russian defense ministry, which claims to show forces advancing further into the region while strengthening their current position. and now for the more video, this time for mccord cove in the north east which shows smoke rising above a residential area after the legit missile strike. local authorities say the ukrainian military has launched a counter offensive against russian forces within the region. while moscow claims artillery has been deliberately placed in residential areas and near kia, yet another bridge has reportedly been destroyed. now it's not clear who was responsible, bolts, ukrainian forces, have allegedly been blowing the bridges across the country to hinder the russian

military's advance locals. now navigate the river on foot across the rubble of water left on the retreating. ukrainian forces have also allegedly blown up a bridge. and the republic of lou ganske, thousands of locals must now use boats to cross the river. the, the hurried destination has reported left traces of explosives on the bridge piers . meanwhile, president putin has criticized any talk of the west, placing nuclear weapons in ukraine, saying, such moves would quotes hold russia at gun points last year to deal with. they will build up, can make nuclear weapons ukraine, and they will also get help from across the oceans. and then they'll say that we do not recognize the nucleus states. they will put these complexes under their control . and from this 2nd, from this very 2nd, the fate of russia will be completely different. because then our strategic adversary's will not even need to have ballistic inter continental missiles,

right here. they will keep that gunpoint with a nuclear weapon. and that said, how can we move past all of this? these are absolutely real threatens not so far fetched nonsense. and our guys who are now fighting that and laying down their lives and fighting for our future. these are completely obvious things. and people who do not want to understand this, especially those among the current leadership, is b crane must understand that if they continue to do this, they are cooling in the question, the future of ukrainian statehood. you go to anything with era fault employees, he stress the currently has no plans to impose muscle law in russia, on the destruction of ukraine's military infrastructure is almost complete. he also notes a different options are on the table for the demilitarization of ukraine, and all of them could be negotiated with key f versus foreign minister believes the zalinski is trying to push nato into direct conflicts with russia. the ukrainian presidents, meanwhile, husbands held back on his anger out, nate,

so claiming the alliance will have blood on his hands for a jason ukraine's demands the implements a no fly zone over the country. at the sloppy salmon, the nato summit was a very weak and directionless summit. for 9 days. we've seen a brutal wars. will they want to continue it? obama, knowing that a new strike is inevitable, nato made a consenting decision not to close ukrainian air space actual from this day, those who die will die because of you too searchable. again, summer zalinski still relies on the resolution of the conflict by involving nato in this whole story and not through negotiations system. it turns out that he does not hear the constant statements coming from washington, paris, pearlin, and other capitals is that nato is not going to interfere in the suburbs. and it turns out that he seeks to provoke a conflict with the participation of nato, between nato and russia took estimates the sprout studios now. sweeping sanctions have been slapped on moscow in response. busy to his actions in ukraine, among the latest brands,

to clothes stores and paws business operations in russia. luxury names including hermes, katya, and chanel bloomberg and the b. b. c, are also temporarily halting the news operations here. while cnn will stop broadcasting in the country with a significant number of bonds and restrictions already in place, there are still many more promised. and our thes ilia purge anchor looks in so that russia is being punished to make sure moscow behaves correct. the sanctions will end dispute and ends this war and helps rebuild ukraine, re establish his peace and recognizes the country sovereignty and territorial integrity. so it must be that the sanctions have one ultimate goal to make the russian army and it's offensive and new grain once and for all. but lots of the measures put ford already in place, barely have anything to do with the, the russian men in uniform or the people in charge. i mean those responsible for sending them to ukraine. it's like we're witnessing

a grand international canceling russia contest where countries and businesses compete and how they're going to make things worse for russian soldiers. but why also russian cats or russian interior designers. otherwise, how do you explain a ban on kitty's from this country at international exhibitions or the decision by sweetest furden, her jain to care, to abandon russia house, throwing moscow out of inter paul and international police. you am going to help to de canada and other close partners or calling to suspend russia from interpol. we're supporting this because we believe that international law enforcement cooperation depends on a collective commitment to the universal declaration of human rights and mutual respect between interpol members. it's up to you to judge if that has much to do with the conflict. it's unclear though,

how tourism or air travel will make vladimir putin change his mind. but 1st, the world's major jet makers like air bus and boeing decided to freeze part supplies to russian airlines. then among the latest industry decisions was won by a texas based airline software giant to end the distribution agreement with air flop. we're taking a stand against this military conflict, we are complying and will continue to comply with sanctions imposed against russia . it means air flawed flights won't show up on online travel agencies or other 3rd party sites. now, house bid for cancelling russia award. the likes of dizzy and hollywood studios have decided to put on hold their movie releases in washing theatres. and if banning rushed in peril, limpy in from beijing 2022 wasn't enough for the russian army. e, a sports has initiated processes to remove the russian national team in all russian

clubs from a sports fee for products, including fee for $22.00 fee for mobile and fee for online. we're also actively evaluating related changes to other areas of our games. cancelling the russians in free fall for the likes of play station pool. be aware. well, surely the businesses are free to decide what to do with their products. in some cases with the latest sanctions, it may well be a matter of pride or solidarity, but it seems most of that effort will take install on ordinary russians. not the folks wearing camouflage or whoever gives them their orders. political strategist keeps in. mansfield says, the sanctions will also imparts global stability along with the dollar. it has heard russia's economy and russia's currency, the ruble in the short term, but really in the long run,

it's only going to end up to backfire against the u. s. d. when you start to take people out as a load of beacon nomic warfare. when, for example, we've been as wailer with iran and now with russia, all that's going to do in the long run is makes, in this case the u. s. the less valuable on the international market and eventually come back and hurt the american consumer. if anybody is doing something to undermine the world, economic stability is going to be the u. s. and nato, by forcing countries into economic sanctions and putting them under the boot of economic warfare, imperialism. that's what undermines the stability of the world economy. this idea that china is the one moving to undermine stability as false nonsense in the u. s. who's doing that? china one when when cooperation. ready america, what is that when all russia nomic policy force?

meanwhile, the scottish government has been left in a flutter over the national flag. as you can see, the scottish one on the rights inverted looks like the russian navy flag on the left. the blue white cross flags linked to saint andrew, who's the patron saint of both scotland and russia. a scottish government email said this particular salty design must no longer be used under any circumstances. it's even dropped from the 1st minutes. this cove id be briefing backdrop, and we got the reaction for the move on the streets of edinburgh. i feel like it's, it seems silly that we'd be changing a flag for the sake of one naval flags. you know, i don't think anybody would look at that and automatically things have russian naval. i don't know. i feel like it could be bit unreasonable, but i can understand why they wouldn't montage association with us. it does. it does make sense. i think in a way, yes, i do think it is a proportional responsive,

especially knowing that russian propaganda stations will use imagery like that to make it sound like scotland is with them. when that is not true, i'd say there's thousands of flags for literally everything. there's a bunch of different countries where they already mix up flags, they kind of all look the same just depending on the color. so really i wouldn't say it's that think of a deal. it seems a little bit over the top. i think i probably would kind of like the 2 together to be honest, i will of associated them. both protesters hit the streets of bell grade in serbia to show their support for russia. the rally started with the russian on serbian national anthems and thousands in the crowd were waving russian flags and carrying pictures as president putin. many, the process is also sharing unseen nate so sentiment. this comes as many ordinary serv still hold the memory of nato's bombings of their country back in the 1990s. well, 7 guys,

professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade says that despite receiving little media coverage protesters flocked to the rally after it was advertised on social media. the rally was not really advertised very much except for the telegram groups or, or websites that are really very small. the, their, their, their scope is not large or is their audience, but from word to words, from mouth to mouth, the word spreads. so people came in great numbers, actually to support russia, and there is a simpler place where that is because russia was supporting for last 20 years, serbia's territorial integrity in the you. and when it comes to the cost of all issue,

russia was supporting. and phil is supporting the resolution well, 44 that guarantees a story to real integrity. and there is a. busy strong and tiny percent demands that only grew over the years, which is why people actually know that these kind of protests are finger in d i a, in, in the western. let's say we're media in the western, even a public at another rally in georgia protest. this showed that the 4th, the ukraine, thousands gathered in the capital to make the feelings felt over bushes options during the rally, ukrainian president, the lengthy address post. this is in a live video broadcast urging them to bring more people onto the street and to show support. meanwhile, the russian paralympic team is about to return from beijing to moscow. that's after the international paralympic committee bod, russian, and beller,

russian athletes from participating over the conflicts in ukraine. 83 athletes. im in total were buns and the move reverse the committee, the previous decision that's allowed athletes from both countries to compete as neutrals in beijing. oh, oh yeah. well this video was taken right after that decision to bundy athletes was announced. the parlin pins within the singing, the national anthem, and removing stickers, showing that neutral, stated that they would no longer afraid of being barred from events over displaying russia. national symbols, one athletes told us how the team was feeling following the decision. i usually the shocked it's shocking for us, for some, it was a 1st chance, but the some, it's the last chance to take part in the paralympics. they might never be in such good shape. again, of course the athletes are innocent, they're just paralympic sports men and women who just do their job, who train a lot, who sacrifice a lot to succeed, to get their medal, to hear their national anthem,

to motivate and inspire others are paralympic committee will do everything to protect our athletes, they will hire the best lawyers to find a way to lift the band. i think we will get through it and take part in the next paralympics. i think the whole international, olympic and paralympic games concept was created to unite people to show our kindness, to remind that we live on one planet and we take care of it. we should respect each other. and just before we go, a quick update to our satellite broadcasting around the world from the express am 8 satellite in europe, you can find as it's r, t global s d over in africa, it's r t global and in latin america express aids at 14 degrees west, you can find a detail guide on how to tune in, so as r t dot com slash where to watch. while that's a wrap for this hour. my name's peter scotts and i'll be back again with more news . and of course, any developments in the ongoing ukraine conflict in about 30 minutes. thank you for watching.

ah ah oh, there is a strong pressure or later to get involved in this conflict in the more active great. cause something more than just to see blind reference to ukraine and sharing intelligence information or with the, with the plan you authorities. so for instance, that is a discussion about an old slide rule over you. great in the evening to, to right to have such an all flight so it will constitute

a danger will for direct nature ocean conflict.
