talks have been held in belarus, with parties agreeing to open humanitarian corridors. once again, however bustles on the ground, continue that done. yes, carmen has claimed ukrainian forces bombarded the republics territory 30 times throughout the day, while ukrainian troops are said to have been foresight of essentially the entire lu county region president vladimir zelinski faith. he still expecting western governments to agree to a no fly zone over the country or the shipping and of combat fighters and, or defense system. and more sanctions are being imposed on moscow site. korea, how suspended transactions with russian banks. new zealand house slept restrictions and almost a 100 prominent russian figures on the streets is to put financial restrictions on institutions linked to the russian army. the heads of the russian delegation involved in peace talks with ukraine seized both sides of agreed not to
12:03 am
reveal details of the negotiations. although speaking to r t. after the talks, he come to a glimmer of hope in the response of key to russia's seeking of security guarantees . they said it's practically impossible. i see a big difference between impossible and practical impossible. both is issues are weitel for russia, weitel ferocious people. and of course, it's weitel for, for the position of our to negation. i hope sooner or later, we'll find a decision for that. this is the 3rd time the sides are meeting over in bill or bruce. and once again, we don't have any visible results to speak off once again. not all or details are available from those talk. spotwood do know for a fact that human is carrying corridors are taking center stage of these negotiations. as we understand,
12:04 am
on tuesday humanitarian corridors are open in 5 cities for in ukraine and one in the nest people's republican, a. c. t's of a key of high to cough, journey gulf. assume we 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 ox. however, we did get an exclusive comments from the head of the russian delegation. let's take a look is a question open of a life. who cares where they go? do they go west, east, north and south. the purpose is to lead civilians, women seniors kits to let them go out of the cities. that's actually is absolutely understandable by us and by ukrainian delegation. i hope
12:05 am
the starting from tomorrow. they promised it, the situation will change, and i do hope they will keep there, but we're getting a very few details said that are coming out of a lease sock. so the only common thing they seem to agree on russia and ukraine are these 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, whether these negotiations, these thoughts 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 meant, but their reality internets, people's republican 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
12:06 am
needed. let's take a look mobile demo, horrid boredom or we will talk. we will insist on talks until we find a way to tell our people that's how we will reach peace, or we should touch upon a. she brought up the, the opening and remaining open of humana door in corridor. why is that such a big sticking issue? once again, this is the 3rd time they have met and they've agreed on that humanitarian corridors the earlier but said that did not stand as a cease fire was violated by ukraine, nationalism, italians, according to the russian foreign ministry. plus, we are also, well 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 taken back to a key of for consultations, while russia actually has documents in hand,
12:07 am
ready to sign. so this is really extending the socks, 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 it at different places where they're going to talk. they're delaying, they're not being very punctual in these meetings. are indeed well human. it's erin corridors are something the sides are agree and on bud sir, russian defense ministry 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 one, sir. and i will go through this says tuesday, and we will understand whether these roommates are in corridors are working or not . and we will see people get a safety and with dot in mind battle strike ukraine their ongoing, according to the russian military. danielle slew ganske forces as well are
12:08 am
advancing and taking further every is on rushes, making another attempt at a cease fire to allow civilians to flee. not this on verified footage shows a fire at 2 or plants in the view to mirror region. ukrainian authorities said it was the result of earth strikes. one fire has already been contained. there were no reports of any injuries. and these are photos from the done yet republic allegedly showing the aftermath of ukrainian army shelling of a civilian area. 5 people were reportedly injured, a local nursery was also hit. while in this footage from mili topple, you can see the weapons of ukrainian forces, which were abandoned does the russian army took control of the area. the city has been under russian military control since february 26. the same time the ukrainian armies being force from almost the entire territory of the guns people's republic with $73.00 towns and cities. but as the front lines are redrawn from horowitz,
12:09 am
tales are emerging, told to ortiz, maria finance. 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 local experts, examine bodies from what they call this containers. graves of those who died in shelling and hostilities, one of 4, such resting places across the republic of logan sc. movie daily. when we saw that those pits with approximately a meter is literally a 4 by 4 square with $10.00 to $15.00 bodies in each listen. it's just not right. we lifted out $292.00 bodies out of it. sure of you. the name should be remembered with, that's the price of our freedom. we witness the 1st of these grays. when we worked here back in 2014 on those hot summer days local more gr refrigerate is were totally packed with corpses. and as the city was shout, 4 weeks nonstop, they were not working properly,
12:10 am
has power was cut off. committing buddies to the earth was urgent. see all spunk. if we were a small trailer, we examined old bodies, took dna for further matching regularized the remains and re buried them with mark 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 logan square re barrett and i say, but is because few have been identified so far. for now, it is a 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 civilian 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 shelling continued 4 days, again, the experts have received information about new mass graves along the frontline.
12:11 am
she, which period 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 make now they are waiting for the fighting to stop, to start rescuing those alive. healing those injured and to we bury those who are dead. the reef notional artie from the low ganske republic. amid the unfolding crisis western countries, they are being urged by moscow to help with the evacuation of civilians. as mentioned, the number of attempts at opening humanitarian corridors, the date of vendors and 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 more you pull in the country, south, east, where the situation really is, grew like the russian defense ministry is claiming locals are still having to shelter in their basements without gas, some electricity. after coming under shelling from ukrainian nationalists earlier,
12:12 am
2 people were shot dead while trying to escape this city via green corridor. very few so far have actually managed to successfully leave some who have shared what they've gone through with digital, which there are also claims that fighters from nationalist battalions use people as

human shields in an attempt to escape mario. well, here's what locals have to say on that. oh, she, nasa mcclain's keel plainly. ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha ha. by an illness will stay again as absolutely solutions they don't come of . she knows padilla duncan as an elective akiva. april us a fading a whole by one us. like even that for the feel. you and you're bringing us with afghan fam or ma'am, that she does ancient is that you want it all in the lead of the she is not with governor bush, nana was, she hasn't been given long as the ocean most by people, even with adding them up as not until one of the inside of those kitchen one day waiting for a chance on that
12:14 am
a new city for the book we she was in the russian defense industry recently commented on the situation in the city claiming militants were using terrorist tactics was low on we're, we're still showing my hope when i'm hearing, according to civilians who escaped from mary 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 over her nationalists open fire on all civilians who try to leave their homes and the other people are forced to paint on the walls and doors of houses. don't shoot michael. there are children here. disco. besides all the difficulties, some refugees made it to russia from ukraine. they were taken to the city of tegan rock, where a temporary reception facilities helping set up in a school, and also in a hotel. people were given hot meals, medical care,
12:15 am
and psychological help. we spoke to the president of the international committee of the red cross, peter morrow, for an overview of the current state of affairs in ukraine. you may have in situation obviously as far as we see is extremely serious. it is particularly serious in 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 engage with the parties in order to find consensus and precise agreements about evacuation rules about access into the
12:16 am
feature and fighting areas as well as voluntary evacuation and volunteer the 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 civilians can find safe places can be protected and you, many parents can access for another aspect of the conflict rom, vacations, masters of african students stuck inside ukraine claim to have faced racial discrimination in their bid to flee. they say they were being forcibly detained by
12:17 am

12:19 am
a myth. the gas boom boom is doable. need. so you guys 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 crisis in europe and the introduction of the ban on no stream to we have every right to make a mirror decision and impose the embargo on gas pumping through the notes 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 search in prices will be unpredictable if you want to refuse the delivery results is from russia. that's ok. we know where to redirect these volumes, and that's of the u. s. as considering a bound on russian all imports with president biden urging european leaders to think of doing the same, however,
12:20 am
the white house said no decision is yet being taken. ortiz, dont quarter reports and has 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, food news, weaponized, energy. i don't believe this country should be importing any thing from russia by banning the 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 nations energy security and boost our own energy independence. it's time to ban all in ports of russian oil never and the history of warfare has a bad guy been so exposed as putin is today. the revenue from all and guess, keep some of float. 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
12:21 am
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 the intake nisa jose, you pay 10 cents more gallon to support to people's ukraine, stop basically the support of russia. i would gladly potential more again, 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 un 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 u. s. as nations increase economic pressure on russia, president biden has warned that some of those moves could also end up hurting. you 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. okay, 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
12:22 am
a decade as the byte administration now considers banning russian oil a ban isn't even an effect. and yet the economic consequences show just how reliance the u. s. is on russian oil. last year the u. s. doubled. it's crude oil imports from russia, bringing them to their highest level in 2 days. kate's that totaled over $4700000000.00. what we will get is 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 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,
12:23 am
in the us. and now due to the sanction 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 blanket has 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 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
12:24 am
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 accountable is to take every step to the maximum impact that will impact president impudent, 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 of 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
12:25 am
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. it may be only a matter of time until by the will need to play nice rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman re as a harvard has taken aim at once. she seasons washington's over its influence on the do you understand now why britain left the european union? the u. s is killing the e, you disguising it as a collective suicide. london decided to live longer. here is the whole essence of solidarity and values. former austrian foreign minister curren can i sell 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,
12:26 am
not connected. the swift exclusion for those actors 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 i bryce is defined by politics, politics as a lot big say in the long run. it's supply and 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 mowing this topic for the last 25 years of my life.
12:27 am
but i've seen such a tremendous locality of 10 us dollars a barrel, $256.00 in 2008. now, if you only speak about the price hikes and falls and bring 2020, i mean it's a, it's an amazing locality. and we'll see what, what will be the ultimate outcome. but right now, it's definitely a lot of politics to scotland, where members of an independence movement, of course, the outrage for refusing to accept the mainstream coverage of ukraine of the full picture. if you disagree with the western media in the idolize zation of the ukrainian president and his family, you're somehow an idiot. just some media games the west are playing. for example, the fact that thousands of old videos have surfaced, allegedly showing russians and ukrainians being bombed fires, streets with tanks. it's all dated back to 20. 14. be careful what you accept. the
12:28 am
group states, the west, us simply used ukraine over the years for its own political purposes on the fact that r t is blocked, was deliberate war mongering. the organization's views. so it's slammed in the media for nationalism and spreading. so name conspiracy theories. we spoke to his organizer and former scottish parliament member, tommy shared the whole response all the west to this invasion and my opinion is all even with double standards and chrissy, we are to accept the continued, there's really occupation of polish thing. we have to accept the fact the saudi arabia is bombing human to the stone age. was weapon system supplied by the us. and do you keep what there are no sanctions on israel? there are no sanctions on saudi arabia that are sanctions imposed on russia. and i
12:29 am
don't accept that there is no provocation. i don't accept as irrational from russia as point of view. russia feels threatened as a, as a nation. russia has had promises broken as far as neat towards can see i'm dr. maintaining to one with the new inch expansion to the east was given. and that has just been broken. and you have a nice tool that is very a case of a need to break promise. promise us the people of yugoslavia after 70 days and make some bombing, ask the people of libya of rock, get this done. what regions, what carpet bombing is all a boat, and then be able to tell you that that was the behavior of the age and need to tony sheridan. now it's a name you may not be hearing in western media as much as others in the ukraine conflict, but the region is absolutely crucial to what is happening there currently dont box yesterday today and tomorrow is our short dock on this next. ah
