10:01 pm
the past. the mass graves containing the victims of 8 years of war in eastern, with europe mulling ways to sever its dependence on russia, energy, resources you and discussing a pound on oil imports from russia. industry experts, fear it's such a move could lead to another global recession. ah, around the clock across the globe. this is our t good to have you with us today. my name's you know, new with the conflict in ukraine now into it's 13th day. let's start by recapping the main developments. a 3rd round of the piece talk something held in dollars with parties agreeing to open humanitarian corridors. once again, however,
10:02 pm
bundled on the ground, continue that and yet army her claim ukrainian forces bombarded the republics territory 30 times throughout the day, while ukrainian troops are said to have been forced out of the entire against region. president plumber's landscape said he still expecting western governments the great no fly zone over the country or ship in combat fighters on earth. defense systems and more sanctions are being imposed in russia. this time by side korea, suspending transactions with russian banks, new zealand slops restrictions on almost a 100 prominent russian figures to the st. louis, putting financial restrictions on the russian armed forces on the number of civilians as well. the head of the russia delegation in the peace talks with ukraine sees both sides have agreed not to reveal details of the negotiations. a low speaking to r, t, after the talk see come to a climmer of hope in the response of key to russia's security guarantees. up there
10:03 pm
seeking they said it's practically impossible. i see a big difference between impossible and practical impossible. both is issues weitel for russia, weitel for ocean people. and of course it's worth all for, for the position of our to negation. i hope sooner or later. we'll find a decision for that. okay, then on the development of the past 24 hours or so, let's bring in ortiz, long costs are of who recently returned from to net. good morning to rahman. the good news i suppose is that they're talking, they're bad. no significant break through to talk off. exactly. this is the 3rd time the sides are meeting over in bill or ruth. and once again, we don't have any visible results to speak off once again. not a lot of details are available from those talk spotwood do know for
10:04 pm
a fact that humanitarian corridors are taking center stage of these negotiations. as we understand on choose, the humanitarian corridors are open in 5 cities for in ukraine and one in dentist people's republic. if use of a key of high to cough journey golf, assuming and denise people's republic, the city of mario bull, it's a hope that the seas fire will stand. people will be able to safely leave those areas. however, once again, we don't have a lot of details from these talks. however, we did get an exclusive comments from the head of the russian delegation. let's take a look. is a question awful, awful life. who cares where they go? do their goal, west, east, north and south. the purpose is to lead civilians,
10:05 pm
women seniors kits to let them go out of the cities. that actually is absolutely understandable by us and by ukrainian delegation. i hope that starting from tomorrow, they promised it. the situation will change and they do hope they will keep their what do we know more about the stance of the ukrainian side or indeed something which has been brought up previously. how into committed the oxley are to the talks . it's hard to say once again, because we're getting a very few details that are coming out of for the socks are the only a common thing they seem to agree on russia and ukraine. are these a humanitarian corridors? ukraine insists that the fox will continue for as long as needed until a solution is found, but it's hard to predict at this point,
10:06 pm
whether these negotiations, these stocks will produce any kinds of results whatsoever. because we saw that they agreed in certain things, but they didn't stand in the end. that might seem to be committed. so on the ground there, it minced, but the reality internets people's republic in august, people, republic, and in ukraine, is a lot different than what we're seeing, coming out from these talks. now, president says lensky is as certain that the talks will continue for as long as needed. let's take a look modem of oriented buddha more we will tack. we will insist on talks until we find a way to tell our people that's how we will reach peace run. we should touch upon a. she brought up the, the opening and remaining open of humana, door in courage. what, why is that such a big sticking issue? well, for once again, this is the 3rd time they have met and they have agreed on that humanitarian corridors that earlier. but so that did not stand as
10:07 pm
a cease fire was violated by ukraine, nationalism, italians, according to russian foreign ministry. plus, we are also not quite understanding what authority ukraine's delegation have because they're not really authorized to make decisions on the spot. they're immense, they're constantly forced to say what they have talked about. they are, take it back to key of for consultations, while russia actually has documents in hand, ready to sign. so this is really extending the stocks and i'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of those. ukraine is also well kind of delane negotiations by trying to negotiate to different places where they're going to talk their delaying. they're not being very punctual in these meetings. and the humanitarian corridors are something the sides are agreeing on. but so russian defense ministry,
10:08 pm
once again are saying that the ceasefire is not really observed and civilians don't really have a safe passage to a safe areas. so hopefully once we go through this issues they and we will understand whether these roommates are in corridors are working or not. and we will see people get safety. yeah, that wouldn't be closely followed from one customer. thank you for buffalo's ride. ukraine are still ongoing. according to the russian military than yet, can against forces are advancing on taking further areas when russia is making another attempt of a cease fire to allow civilians to flee. this on verified footage shows a fire or 2 oil plants in the mirror region. ukrainian authority said it was the result. first rights one fire has already been contained. there were no reports of any injuries. and let's take you to the next republic, photos from there allegedly showing the aftermath of ukrainian army shelling of
10:09 pm
a civilian area. 5 people were reportedly injured, a local nursery was also hit. while in this footage from meli topo, you can see the weapons of ukrainian forces, which were abandoned as the russian army took control of the area. the city has been under a russian military control since february 26th. at the same time, the ukrainian army been forced from almost the entire territory of the lou gowns, people's republic with 73 towns and cities, and i see that the front lines are redrawn. some harwick field, emerging with war raging, bringing death and destruction. those alive dream about peace. but here it seems. this is something even the dad cannot yet find. these are local experts zooming bodies from what they call this montagnier. graves of those who died in shelling and hostilities, one of 4 such resting places across the republic of logan's cook. the more visually
10:10 pm
when we saw that those pits with approximately a meter of dep, you literally a 4 by 4 square with $10.00 to $15.00 bodies in each what we're just listen, it's just not right now. we lifted out $292.00 bodies out of it. sure the name should be remembered with fats the price of our freedom. we witnessed the 1st of these grace when we worked here back in 2014 on those hot summer days. local morg refrigerator is were totally packed with corpses and as the city was shelled 4 weeks non stop. they were not working properly. has power was cut off. committing bodies to the earth was urgent. cl, spunky, we're a small trailer. we examined old bodies, took dna for further matching regularized the remains and re buried them with mach numbers with accordance to dignity and orthodox norms. really, we really hope the remains will be identified soon. this is where most of the but is discovered in a mass grave outside lugens were re barrett and i say,
10:11 pm
but is because few have been identified so far. for now, who does the cemetery with simple crosses and numbers? no names work has begun to turn it into a large memorial to the victims of ukraine's aggression, its official name. it lies across from another monument, right there to a local civilians kill here by fascist back in 1942 and it is also called we will not forget we will not forgive. that was in 2014 now with shelly continued for days. again, the experts have received information about new mass graves along the frontline. she was submitted for nurse must. we want to be wrong, but our experience of working with nationalistic battalions and the ukraine security service shows it could highly likely be true. and you will me now they are waiting for the fighting to stop, to start rescuing those alive. healing those injured and to re barry those who are dead. the reef national aussie from the la ganske with public
10:12 pm
amid the unfolding christ. as western countries are being urged by moscow to help with the evacuation of civilians. as mentioned, a number of attempts at opening humanitarian corridors to dates have ended in failure. the next is expected to be made in 5 ukrainian cities, including the country's capital. to day one of those areas, people are desperate to flee from. is murray awful in the country, se where the situation really is grueling. the russian defense industry is claiming locals are still having to shelter in their basements without gas electricity. after coming under shelling from ukrainian nationals earlier, 2 people were shot dead while trying to escape the city by 8 reading corridor. very few people so far have managed to actually successfully leave some who did shared what they've done with
10:13 pm
10:14 pm
don't come with those padilla duncan's as an economic akiva. april lost a whole bunch of on us like dealing with some well, but she was ancient dish actually wanted all in the lead of the she a phase release done with the hillary. difficult. not feeling dumb. you don't get them. you do their other. i mean, i notice when you get near, we would lose. you said yes, but well, i went and did you did the dumb normally with a little he in those parallel is like but anyway, you really pulled out. i just when you're free, let, because that was a movie with the russian defense ministry recently commented on the situation in the city cleaning militants, were using terrorist tactics. was low on we're,
10:15 pm
we're sure serv shows my open. i mean, according to civilians who escaped from, marry you paul. yesterday the situation in the nationalist occupied city is difficult. people are hiding in basements and due to a lack of electricity and gas in homes, they are forced to cook on the street on bonfires in the militants or dispersing them, or her nationalists open fire on all civilians who try to leave their homes. and i feel that people are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses. don't shoot like there are children here. dorothy screwed up the spice all the difficulty. some refugees have already made it into russia, from grain. they were taken to the city of sagamore, where a temporary reception facility, something set up in a school gym, and hotel them. people were given hot meals, medical care, and psychological health. ah. the wrestling she many women and children of already we holden the main hub by
10:16 pm
trains buses and cars. countries like moldova romania hungry and the vakio also except large flows of ukrainians, fleeing to conflict. some refugees even made their way to france, where they were warmly greeted. we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross peter mora. he gave us an overview of the humanitarian situation in ukraine. you may have in situation obviously as far as we see is extremely serious. it is particularly see if he has seen the urban areas of the country. we see the proximity of civilians and battlefields. at the same time. we tried the best we can to respond to a increase the landscape of needs hundreds of thousands of people in need. but we also want in gauging with the parties in order to find consensus and precise
10:17 pm
agreements about evacuation about access into each and fighting areas as well as the voluntary evacuation and voluntary escape routes for civilian populations. as we see, this is a highly contested issue. it's not the only place in the world where we see difficulties are having precise agreements between the militaries which are able to work in real life. but i appreciate all the efforts from all sides in order to come to functioning agreements, precise agreements, so that the civilian can find safe places can be protected. and you, many parents can access peter mora, well, the thousands of people desperate to flee. ukraine was
10:18 pm
a major focus of the discussion of the un security council on monday. all countries stress the importance of reaching agreements on humanitarian aid. that means a sustain pause in hostilities to allow the safe passage of civilians who wished to leave areas of active conflict. the safe passage of humanitarian supplies and the free and safe movement of those delivering humanitarian assistance. we need russia's firm, clear public and unequivocal commitment to allow and facilitate immediate, unhindered, humanitarian as access for humanitarian partners in ukraine. it will look for trip to still be once again wish to emphasize the safety of civilians in ukraine is not a problem for russia because we're not bombarding them, but rather ukranian radicals, neo nazis who,
10:19 pm
holding hostage whole towns and cities, and making use of citizens as a human shield, not allowing them to leave despite the fact that there are humanitarian corridors, and that russian units have declared a ceasefire. it is even more appalling, that the russian troops open firing on the rockies and eva creation of egos shall the roads allocated for humanitarian corridors. for recent, for instance, they shalt the deep boats with evacuation buses near mario pl versus russia. wanted to provide a whole hearted assistance in guaranteeing safety for the evacuation of these people. we inform the un secretary about all of this in a timely fashion. however, radicals in mario paul have violated this agreement, as is clear from a radio conversation that was intercepted from the 2 commanders of a nationalist as of battalion. that is a novel, nevada. the radicals they were told to shoot at the legs of those who were heading for the humanitarian corridors, though she risked life and limb trying to leave mary apple. when they reached the
10:20 pm
check point to leave, the city was shot by ukrainian nazis came up this. well, we'll have, this is part of the fog of war. i think we have a competing narratives. of course the, the ukrainians cannot agree that the russians are providing the adequate humanitarian corridors because that it is not in their interest given the background in which they are operating. and that is the government of ukraine has decided to gamble a playing poker. you know, in a sense of thinking that they can hold off the russian advance and a given the repeated please from president zalinski of ukraine to get your opinion aid as if the europeans are in a position to intervene militarily with her. for example, the biggest wiper,
10:21 pm
i think in the part of the weekend was the apparent green light to the use of former russian jets from the air forces of poland or tech republic to be refurbished and then used for from bases there to in ukraine. and that, i believe has been proven largely cells because of course, that would imply a direct intervention of nato countries in the conflict and causing a much more dangerous escalation of the situation. so i think admitting that humanitarian called or does exist and that the russians are doing their part concert. he is a problem that's an and then to conflict, an ever growing sanctions from western countries against moscow. oil and gas prices
10:22 pm
have skyrocketed, as i'm sure you've noticed. major european leaders, they've called on nations to abandon russia's energy supplies in order to punish the country for its actions and ukraine. russia's deputy p. m says concrete should think about the consequences of such a gas boom boom is doable. need. so we can guess from a fully fulfills its obligations to supply gas to europe. moreover, the supply through the ukrainian gas transportation system has been increased. at the same time, we understand that due to unfounded accusations against russia regarding the energy crosses in europe and the introduction of a band or note stream to we have every right to make a mirror decision and impose the embargo on gas pumping through the node stream one gas pipeline, which is 100 percent loaded today. everyone knows that oil supplies from russia are the most competitive for the european market. it is obvious, the rejection of russian oil will lead to disastrous consequences for the world market. the surge in prices will be unpredictable if you want to refuse the
10:23 pm
delivery of resources from russia, that's ok. we know where to redirect these volumes. well, that's of the u. s. as considering have been on russian oil imports with president biden urging european leaders to think of doing the same wherever the white house said no decision has yet been taken. ortiz don quarter reports, and how is such a decision could affect western countries themselves all around washington, the call to ban russian oil can be heard. america's big wigs also claiming its putin's main source of revenue. prudent as weaponized energy. i don't believe this country should be importing any thing from russia by banning import of russian oil here. united states, we the opportunity to work with our, our allies, to stabilize the energy market across the world, safeguard our nation's energy security and boost our own energy independence. it's time to ban all in ports of russian oil. never in the history of warfare has a bad guy been so exposed as putin is today. the revenue from all and guess keeps
10:24 pm
him afloat. if we can isolate the oil and gas sector produce more here at home, that will do more to end this war than any single thing i can think of. banning oil imports from the world's number one, export or will no doubt come at a cost. nevertheless, some on capital hill are ready for americans to pave and more at the pump. i would, i would then, if ever suppose being taken a st. joe's, you pay 10 cents more gallon to support to people. ukraine, stop basically, the support of russia. i would gladly, potential more ago someone should probably lead mansion know that americans are already paying not 10, but $0.30 more per gallon. in fact, just a week after the most recent waves of us sanctions against russia were launched, the price of oil nearly reached its 2008 all. busy time high, which caused more than a little anxiety across the us. as nations increase economic pressure on russia, president biden has warned that some of those moves could also end up hurting. you
10:25 pm
ask consumers, as we all know, prices, americans are paying for the basics, food gas, housing are all high and they could go even higher. ok, get some bad news for you. the u. s. gas price has reached a national average of $4.00 a gallon the highest in over a decade as a byte administration now considers banning russian oil. a band isn't even an effect. and yet the ex, a consequences show just how reliance the u. s. is on russian oil. last year the u . s. doubled its crude oil imports from russia, bringing them to their highest level into decades that totaled over $4700000000.00 . what we will get to the big, big crisis. everybody wandered across the ocean in, you know, new york and so on. so what we, what we would see now is that with nice price increases the, the entire financial system will fall apart. and i think this could already be the stone that brings everything into into
10:26 pm
a crash. the midterm elections are gone for the democrats, if the price is right and people are in the us, don't know how to pay their bill anymore. so i'm very, very concerned on the democracy in, in the us and now due to the sanctions due to these things, we're not really necessary who are voluntary and i think they are planned for ages already, but not the well thought through. i think while banning russian oil would almost certainly mean even higher energy prices for your average american washington's energy giants could be looking at some mega profits. anthony blink and been busy trying to get your opinion leaders on the anti russian oil bandwagon. and at least the european commission seems all in favor. tomorrow. the european commission will table proposals on how to quickly get rid of our dependency on russian fossil fuels . this means diversifying suppliers, switching to liquefied natural gas and pipeline gas re powering the
10:27 pm
e u by investing and renewables, improving energy efficiency. not everyone in europe is on board though. that's mostly because it's simply not possible to do what washington is suggesting. the federal government has been urgently working for months with its partners in the european union and beyond to develop alternatives to russian energy. this cannot be done overnight. it is therefore a conscious decision on our part to continue the activities of commercial companies in the field of energy supply with russia. president biden said nothing is off the table when it comes to sanctions aimed at russia. ok, but can america's president afford such a policy when he's also promised to keep gas prices low? the white house seems less than willing to find out how the president has been approaching. any of the steps we've taken as it relates to russia and the actions of russia and holding president put and accountable is to take every step to the maximum impact that will impact president putin,
10:28 pm
the russian economy. we are looking at options, we could take right now to cut us consumption of russian energy. but we are very focused on minimizing the impact to families. if you reduce supply in the global marketplace, you are going to rise raise gas prices. you're going to read the raise the price of oil, and that is something the president is very mindful of. and focused on washington. got plenty of strong words for russia, but as the recoil from western sanctions causes more and more collateral damage. and maybe only a matter of time until biden will need to play nice. former austrian foreign minister occurring kinessa believes a bond on russian energy supplies would have a huge impact on people in european countries. already struggling with sky high heating fuel and electricity bills. it was a clear stance over the last few weeks, not to effect. i didn't guess imports from russia, not even talk about it. not connected with exclusion for those actors
10:29 pm
connected to the energy business because everybody was aware that even talking about it, deciding on it would lead to the situation we are now. in some you countries might have an easier way to get out because they have a coal option. that holds true for countries like poland area, and others are much more dependent on oil and gas. that's definitely true for germany. austria, in the short run, the price is defined by politics, politics, as a lot big say, in the long run, it's supply demand. it's politics right now, but it's much early to say where we stand in the global energy mix in 10 years. because even though i've been now in this topic for the last 25 years of my life, but i've seen such a tremendous locality. 10 us dollars a barrel,
10:30 pm
$256.00 in 2008. now it only speak about the price hikes and falls and bring 2020. i mean it's a, it's an amazing locality and we will see what, what will be the ultimate outcome. but right now it's definitely a lot of politics. the ukraine conflict is widely seen in the west of black and white good versus evil. but as cross talk discusses next to me hearing one size view really leads to the last thing solution ah both with what issues is possible. sure.
