is to look for common ground. ah, russia urges the united states to disclose materials on its biological research programs that says washington admits ukraine possesses related facilities. russia says it has taken over europe largest nuclear power plant in southern ukraine. our t guests and exclusive glimpsed into the huge arsenal stored at the plant. but i'm used by the ukranian army who have crates and prayed to stack with assault rifles collage decal. work for this well as renewed lodgers avenue mission of all sorts in touch all through one ukraine, confirmed fixed humanitarian corridors are now in operation. combat officials say they're not working properly. president zalinski and something every effort will be

made to ensure safe evacuation and the delivery of age. and unlike the u. s. and u. k. germany topic diplomat rejects the immediate ban on energy in court from russia, saying it might ground the whole country to hold that as we called gas prices. we do have a cooking effect on european households with you watching international. my name's policy here and wherever you are joining us from. welcome to the program. but 1st, let's have a look at the latest major development on the situation in ukraine. ukrainian authorities claim 6 humanitarian cover. doors have been open to ensure safe evacuation of civilians with a sci fi on these routes. at the head of the next republic warned nationalists are still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as russia's military gains,

access to secret documents, apparently showing here that planned a major offensive on the breakaway eastern region. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is putting into ukraine's how coverage and now under russia's control and europe's largest nuclear power plant, also controlled by russian forces, is continuing its work. despite attempts to reduce its energy dependence, they use foreign policy chief states. the bloss won't ban russian fuel imports even if the u. s. is doing so. so the details coming up in today's program. ukraine has confirmed the operation of 6 humanitarian corridors on its territory, as well as the establishment of a ceasefire on evacuation. ruth, president, platinum is the lensky said kit will put all effort into making sure humanitarian car doors work properly. however, military officials and the dentist peoples public say that evacuation route from the south of ukraine on not working fully as a crania nationalist, allegedly build barricades to disrupt the evacuation of civilian

earlier moscow and kids agreed on 10 humanitarian car doors in 5 cities doing the 3rd round of peace talks, some of the evacuation boots lead to russia, which ukrainian official say is unacceptable. the ukranian side insist that there has been no agreement on establishing humanitarian corridors to russian territory. moscow has delivered $121.00 tons of food and essential products to residence in the harko region. humanitarian aid has been sent to regions now under the control of russian troop. according to russia's emergency ministry, the country is st. $450.00 tons of essential goods to ukraine and on residents flesh. russia has urged the us to dissolve materials on ukraine's biological program. that so that as the us under secretary of state admitted they aren't research facilities, they went off where the kid possesses, biological weapons,

does ukraine have chemical or biological weapons? ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces. should they approach well live. now, to ortiz, india trading co. thank you very much for joining us here in the studio. what do we know so far? paula. hi, there. well, we are talking about personally a very dangerous situation with these pathogens. and again, deadly diseases that are being mentioned by the russian ministry of defense. i'll explain that in a 2nd. we're talking about diseases such as colorado, just add drag, such as a plague, according to the documents obtained by the russian army. when the offensive began,

there was an order by the cranium, government to emergent and somehow destroy these pathogens. pathogen, sorry, and these labs, we don't know how many exactly. there were on ukrainian, tara, or perhaps still are some say there are only a few, or there could be dozens. but we understand that on the one hand key of is denying that it has any of these bio labs. but then, just like we heard from victoria new and there are some kind of facilities which makes the situation even worse for ukraine at this point. because we don't know whether these pathogens have been destroyed or not. and that's why the russian side, the russian foreign ministry, is currently demanding explanation not only from key of, but mainly from the us,

lisa chevy. the u. s. department of defense and administration must as soon as possible familiarize the international community with programs conducted in ukraine . and do that officially, we believe that the materials existing now and the confirmations coming from both ukraine and the u. s. did not get washington a chance to stay silent, but it's not only the russian side that is a demanding explanation from the us. because again, if there was a program to somehow develop a biological weapons on the territory of ukraine, this again, changes the whole story pretty much because we're talking about a very dangerous substances potentially ending up in the hands of ukraine's a nationalist. and this is what we heard from chinese officials on that particular

matter. dr. young tome, we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those land in the, and the party with the best knowledge of those labs. the u. s. should release relevant details as soon as possible, including what kind of viruses are stored and what kind of research has been carried out to hit ship. sure that you fall. so right now, like i said, there are 2 very important aspects to this. whether the actual substances and the pathogens have been destroyed or not. again, we have to understand how many wives were in existence if they were again, key of like i said, is denying the existence of these kind of facilities, but also perhaps more information. we need to get from the u. s. officials. we hope that the journalists will have our opportunity to ask these questions whether these

facilities were just funded or run by the u. s. and again, it's all happening on the territory where there's military action right now. this is what makes the situation dangerous, and as you correctly say, we've been waiting for response from the u. s. a waiting for a couple of days. so let's just hope that that comes in soon in the train co. thank you very much for joining me here. in the studio well wasn't forced to say they've gained full control of noise up of a sky, a nuclear power plant and something ukraine. adding the fat field stuff continue to operate as normal autism or that gas death visit at the site and forecast this exclusive report. on the 4th of march, 4 days after russia announced the takeover of europe's largest nuclear power station. the world awoke to terrifying images, fires and fire fights in their go done this building or rather what happened to it is what caused so much fear, internationally about potentially

a new nuclear incident. and ukraine, where those up at oscar nuclear power station, the biggest nuclear power station in europe, react number 12345, and 6 over there in the distance. this was the sight of a pitched battle between russian troops who were on site and who they say will ukrainian infiltrators who penetrate to this building on the outskirts of the react, the complex itself, and those a pitched battle, ah, when they retreated, these are all the again, the outskirts of the nuclear power station, they allegedly set fire to the building. the worry was that this was the training center. according to i. e, a rules, every nuclear power station must have a training complex with a mock reactor on site. fortunately, the training center itself is in this nearby building which is largely and damaged for a frightful stretch. no one knew what had happened, but the damage was,

fortunately, things cleared up soon enough. the i. e, a gave the all care and panic died down. but the station was left on the verge of a crisis. it could have been worse much worse if the sabotage had succeeded. who if ukrainian troops who will order to fight off russian soldiers during the initial takeover had followed their orders, bought the other bonfire. after we took the plant under control, we found a huge stash of weapons and ammunition included heavy weaponry. we even found ammunition on top of reactive facilities. they had been preparing for real battle rig sense prevailed. after talks ukrainian troops, hundreds of them lay down their weapons, which were promptly locked away. this is the armory at the barrage a nuclear power station filled to the brim with weapons seized from ukrainian

national guardsmen. more than 200 of them who surrendered to russian troops who have taken over the facility, you can find here all sorts of farms. this is an american m full rifle clone locally made called the will crop. you have crates and crate stack with assault rifles, kalashnikov, rifles, as well as grenade launchers, ammunition of all sorts and types. also in vast quantities. the ukrainian soldiers who was stationed here were ordered to defend this nuclear power station to the last drop of blood. evidently, they thought better of it, they surrendered to russian forces. and i have been let go there now with their families at whom having written and signed papers that they wouldn't participate in any more fighting. again, rocket propelled grenades, ammunition seized from around the facility cabinets stack with pistols and even

farms and weapons from the united states. here is a rocket propelled grenade launcher. and it says, here, spring branch, texas of this was evidently manufactured in the united states and handed over the ukranian troops. at this point, the new a power station is secure. thousands of workers laboring shifts, keeping operations running and supplying as much as a quarter of ukraine's electrical power needs. while the complex is secure, the workers aren't. they are afraid of the fighting of the threats made against them and their families, many of which live in areas controlled by ukrainian nationalists and radicals. they were warned work together with the russians, and you'll pay. yet. here they are bound by duty. they keep europe's

largest nuclear power, plant, operational and above all, safe. now the russian military has apparently captured secret ukrainian documents that electrically proved that major offences against the breakaway instant on best regions with plant a kiss. as, according to the rational ministry of defense, the goza though john of the order communicated to the command units of the national guard of ukraine, other details the plan for preparing one of the battle groups for offensive operations in the zone of the so called joint forces operation in the dom bus, the document contains the original signatures of the officials of the command of the national guard of ukraine, responsible for the fulfillment of the tasks. now for more on this discovery, we are joined. i have my husband, an lung custom of them and that's it. an interesting discovery by the russian military that the offensive was apparently planned for march. what do we know so far? well, according to the a 6 pages released by the russian defense ministry,

there is a legend. there was allegedly, an indication that the key of was actually a planning to launch a major offensive against the net scanned la ganske people's republic sometime in march. now russian defense missed ministry says that the documents prove that say ukraine's national guard were planning to deploy troops trained by american and british instructors. and they mentioned a natal standard training program that's been underway in the western city. offer a live off in ukraine since said 2016 now are members of ukraine's national guard. have been accused of committing war crimes by united nations, namely as of a battalions. and there were some of the people supposed to take part in this operation. now the documents released by the russian defense ministry. now if they are actually true, they show that the commander of the national guard knew that not everyone was up to

the task of that offensive. and he stressed in these documents the, the need to screen soldiers based on their mental states, including the capacity to take risks when the, carrying out the orders. now preparations were. busy supposed to be complete by the 28th of february, but russia, so operation in ukraine, i canceled are the large scale offensive against the non boss republics. now, it seems that sir, the u. ukrainian. ukraine were clearly ignoring the minsk agreement agreement, designed to find the diplomatic solution to the conflict. now the entire world has been calling and key of and john boss to stick to the cease fire in the preceding weeks. however, ukraine they've been denying time. and again, that it's been preparing to use force against on boss. but moscow says that sir, the new to discover documents prove otherwise. let's take listen measures reform.

we remember, well, was statements by the leadership of the key of regime circulated in february by the western media about the alleged absence of any plans for the arm. seizure of the la ganske internet people's republics. their desire to resolve all issues by allegedly political and diplomatic means. however, the original secret military documents of the national guard of ukraine clearly proved the falsity of these statements. now have been covering the conflict in there on boards for the last 8 years, and i was personally a witness to the murder of civilians including women, children and the elderly by ukraine and arse artillery. now 14000 people were killed in dunbar. now people there hold that the start of rushes, operation against you. crazy military will finally and there 8 years of suffering. well, i think that's the hope that certainly many people share that this operation and as

findings will seen and women, thank you very much for joining us here. well, as women described, there are shocking themes that he thought in the dumbass region himself. he has a look at how people in a donate and against the publics have been suffering for 8 years. ah ha. it. well when you go on them, you talk with it. it is somewhat duck movie very much with

oh, i'm sorry, posted yesterday. yeah, there was more misty richard, i see you mess with brittany with 0. she now germany and major in puerto russian gas is reluctant to tighten the screw on energy supplies with its top diplomat warning that might cripple the countries whole transport system that says the you brings in fresh measures against russia over its

special operation in ukraine. when i was joined, live i, europe formerly adopted that this week when you lead is meet just outside of paris in versailles. but what we do know is that the whitening sanctions won't just hit russia. they're also going to hit neighboring country roost. now the new measures we know will include 3 bellow response being excluded from swift international payment system. and we understand that it's going to add more russian oligarchs to that list. now, at just in the last few days that it wants to reduce dependency on russian gas, russian oil as well. now, plans have been unveiled to slash imports of those energy sources from russia by about 2 thirds. by the end of this year. the commission, though not taking an equal stance, is seen in the u. k. in the u. s, which you said they are going to outright band them. why? well, as you mentioned,

that quite simply the you generally as well as some countries in particular are really heavily reliant on russian energy sources to keep the lights on it. really that simple germans foreign minister is very clear that and immediate ban on you, gas and oil imports from russia, could actually be massively problematic. a side of our fuel comes from russia. if we stop at now, in a few days, we won't be able to transport ourselves. meanwhile, with also me hearing from the ceo, this is the boston energy company, n g here in france, who has said that the europe wide cap on gas prices is actually now needed to respond to the soaring prices that people are seeing across the continent. if not world wide, and that's to contain what she said would be the volatility in both the gas and the electricity market. so really hitting not just household business is to announce

that price has been rising. as we've seen that it's already starting to hit the pockets of europeans. these are, you know, individuals, households you've already seen since autumn last year. their household bills going up and up and up. now the impact of the war in ukraine and the sanctions is hitting the price also at the pump. so the cost to fill your car up in france, some petrol stations are already charging more than 2 years and liter for petrol. that is, historically here and across europe, people are really concerned about the prices that are creeping up when it comes to energy. so much as you can, that's all doro noise, the my budget for petro diesel is enormous. so it's going to become insupportable. we're not ready to pay more because it's simply impossible for us. prices have already risen to hide it in all born at model serious awful. it's a world wide crisis. it's going to pose

a big problem for every one on an international level. i think it's something that different states and different countries must really take into consideration, rather particularly regarding renewable energy sources for electricity, as well as hybrid cars and also salaries. and yet we're still to rhonda if the war doesn't stop and with the consequences thereafter, there'll be other increases in all areas, not just feel the sanctions won't help. they want to do the things or anybody. it's become an unsustainable situation on what i'm really struggling to pay bills as prices for electricity and gas are increasing the gas supplies for europe should have no connection with what is happening in ukraine. and it's not just that price at the pub with the price of energy bills for houses and for businesses. they're already warnings that other things could be hit to. for example, the cost of we will saw that we've been hearing, impacting very basic stuff, a cup at staples and such as flour and bread. and we're really gonna have to see

what enhancements are going to be made in europe to try and i put a cap on that to try and help households out. we know that at the french prime minister said that in the next few weeks, he's going to make some announcements here to try and combat those kind of price rises. but the reality is that there's only so much they can do this own me so much money. it can be printed if wages accelerate themselves, don't increase in line with the inflation increasing inflation we're seeing as a result of this war. and that just may mean that households will not be able to deal very well. those higher costs. well, charlotte will be touching back in with you to keep us abreast on those developments. thats ortiz charlotte ben feet. thank you very much. and of course, the big tech companies are also tripping in with sanctions against moscow, with russia, media, and public figures restricted on facebook, youtube and twitter. as caleb mauppin reports. it's now common us approach auto silencing dissident movements. it doesn't like in a dramatic move,

rushes point of view has been stripped from social media, google, apple, youtube, twitter and facebook, and decided that moscow is not welcome. rosco needs or records more frequent cases of in, justified blocking of official accounts of russian media and public figures by foreign internet platforms blocking the official page of a russian media that violates the key principles of free dissemination of information and unhindered access to it. for russian users, russian apps cannot be sold. russian counts and cannot be monetized. big tech stands united in boycotting one of the biggest countries in the world. this is a much bigger cancelling than donald trump got after january 6th. the closest comparison would be what was done to gab dot com, social media platform known for welcoming normally impermissible views. american right wing dissidence are no strangers to any of these things. all of

these tools of war had been used against us as american citizens for 6 years. now. in gaps case, we have been banned from both app stores, domain registrars, and big tech platforms for years. now these same tools and tactics of war that have been developed and used against us as dissidents are being used against all of russia. gab gained a reputation for being an online hang out for racists and white nationalist elements, some shootings and hate crimes. set the stage for gab dot com to be shut down in 2017. here's what the app store said about it. your app includes content that could be considered defamatory or mean spirited. we found references to religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, or other targeted groups that could be offensive to many users. gab dot com was not a country like russia, and they didn't really have very much leverage. after they were shut down in 2017,

they were forced to simply wallow, in deceit. now they celebrate rushes moves, striking back at big tech. i like how spineless republican leaders in america who had total incomplete control over the government from 2016 to 2018 and did absolutely nothing to stop big tech tyranny. russia is fighting back. russia shut down facebook and twitter completely. and this is honestly a small play. why give the globalist regime insight into what you're citizens? the talking about? data isn't just the new oil data in a time voice. priceless especially the data of your own people, nato and their allies claim that they are defending democracy in ukraine. but how much democracy is there when certain perspectives and the views of entire countries get shut down simply because they go against the prevailing narrative. it appears that a lot of power is concentrated in the hands of some entrenched oligarchy,

not in moscow, but in silicon valley. caleb martin r t. new york. while that's her at for this hour. my name's paula. clear, and i'll be back again in 30 minutes with the latest. thanks for joining us. ah ah ah. ah, the western liberal world order is collapsed in the hedge of money. it's not to maintain and expand. the conflict in ukraine is a proxy war. the real target is russian, and indirectly china, the law of unintended consequences is in play. in the end, it will be europe that pays the highest price.

ah ah . with with

i'm absent and seniority going underground as a u. s. has committee holds a hearing on so called big oil to determine whether the country's largest companies are meeting climate commitments this after the i m. f, ones of serious global economic consequences following the russian invasion of ukraine. and as several nations tried to isolate russia from the world economy, with russian oil exports under fire will join even after chicago's economist, political scientist, professor james robinson of global conflict studies at the university of chicago, harris school of public policy. thank you so much. sure. that professor robinson were coming back on. so away from obviously there was a bombing of yemen this week that the bombing of damascus this week. but there's only one story, obviously, as regards some. well, what's in your title of your um chair, vest of global gov. the it is ukraine,

given now that a, it appears mosque who may be cutting off energy supplies or threatening to, why didn't they just try that or to were avenge the 14000 killed in lieu hands can don't yet go over the buster since since 2014 than a full scale invasion. and i think there is some people at the pover institution saying, why didn't he try cia activities to destabilize the zelinski government? why send in armored personnel carriers in the military? and as.
