ah, ah, russia urges the united states to disclose materials on its biological research programs. and that early allegations of mimicry programs in ukraine based on documents obtain, they're doing the offensive as washington met ukraine because there's a so called biological research facilities brush affairs that has taken over europe long, just nuclear power plant from southern ukraine. he gets an exclusive glimpse into the huge arsenal stored at the pound, but unused by the ukranian army. who have crates and crates, stuck with assault rifles collage to golf rifles as well as grenade launchers, avenue mission of all sorts, and tubs. ukraine confirmed fixed humanitarian car doors on now in

operation done by us. officials say they're not working properly. resident valencia and every effort will be made to ensure safety evacuation and the delivery of aid. unlike the u. s. u k. germany top diplomat projects and immediate ban on energy import from russia, saying it my found the whole country to a hope that says waco and gas prices already have equipped in effect on european household. ah you're watching t international. my name is paula smith and wherever you 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 fixed humanitarian, colorado, and has been opened to ensure the safety evacuation of civilian with a cease fire on the roof. but the head of the dentist republic was nationalists are

still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as rushes, military gains access to secret documents, apparently showing. he has planned a major offensive on the breakaway eastern regions. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is pointing to ukraine's hock of region. now under russia's control. and you have the largest nuclear power plant, also controlled by russian forces, is continuing its work. despite attempts to reduce its energy dependence. the use foreign policy chief says the flock 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 concerns operation of 6 humanitarian car doors on its territory, as well as the establishment of the via accusation. president vladimir, the lensky kid, will put effort into making sure humanitarian car doors work properly with the military officials and the dentist. people for public say that evacuation works in the south of ukraine on not working as crania nationals and need to be build

a barricade to disrupt the evacuation of civilian and earlier moscow and kear agreed on 10 humanitarian corridors and 5 cities during the 3rd round of peace talks, some of the evacuation roots lead to russia, which ukrainian officials say is unacceptable. the ukrainian side insist that there has been no agreement on establishing humanitarian corridors to russian territory. russia is urging the us to disclose materials on ukraine's biological program. must early allege the military program was conducted by washington and kids with materials now being destroyed. they came in based on documents obtained in ukraine . at the same time, the us under secretary of state has admitted there are so called research for the facilities there. when asked 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. so a us official as senior, as deputy secretary of state is saying that the some kind of facilities do exist and the washing ministry of defense says that there were or possible still are quite a few biological labs that are either us run or us funded. then according to the russian military, according to the documents that they have obtained as a result of that russian military offensive and ukraine scientists, there worked on some extremely dangerous pathogens. these are very dangerous substances. we're talking about diseases such as cholera, plague,

or anthrax. the list is actually much longer than that apparently. as the russian ministry of defense claims the staff there at these biological labord, marie's received orders from officials in ukraine to destroy either of these pathogens or evidence of possible work on the development of via logical weapons. and again, the russian ministry defense has shown documents in ukrainian about these orders are taken out independently, verify them. what is now really a cause for, for concern here in russia is that they may have been destroyed or may have not. and if not, the question is, could they end up in the hands of the radical national as groups that are currently still very active in ukraine. but what is very crucial for the foreign ministry to find out is the actual role of the us in this leisure chevy of the u. s. department

of defense and administration must as soon as possible familiarize the international community with the program conducted in ukraine. and do that officially, we believe that the materials existing now and the confirmations coming from both ukraine and the us to not get washington a chance to stay silent. but russia is not alone in this particular case because the eyebrows are also being raised in china about all this. we remember how bay jane was accused of running some bio labs. well, now the bay jane once answers from washington on this particular story don't change and she's got to we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those lab in the as 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 store and what kind of research has been carried out to here. i do have to point out that key of has been denied running any kind of

program for developing biological weapons. but with this latest comment from victoria new and again, who is the deputy secretary of state, now there will be plenty of more questions asked because see said it out loud, there are some kind of facilities there and what's going on with them right now is not clear now, russian military forces say they found a stash of various weapons and ammunitions at this upper wash sky at nuclear pond. russian officials say some 500 ons. a previously belonged to ukraine's national guard, had been confiscated. the details emerged after russian forces gained full control of this nuclear power plant in southern ukraine, which is europe's largest atomic facility. russian officials are stressing that the plant and staff are continuing to work as normal. right, and gast yet visiting the fight and found 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 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 of as 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 were on site and who they say will ukrainian infiltrators who penetrate to this building on the outskirts of the reactor complex itself. and there was a pitched battle, ah, when they retreated, these are of 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 more react up on site. fortunately, the training center itself is in this nearby building which is largely undamaged for a frightful stretch. no one knew what had happened, what 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. the sabotage had succeeded, who if ukrainian troop who were ordered to fight off russian soldiers during the initial takeover, had followed their orders. body of theatre bonfire book after which the plants under control. we found a huge stash of weapons and ammunition and couldn't have a weaponry. we even found ammunition on top of reactive facilities where they had

been preparing for real battle. oregon sense prevailed after talks ukrainian troops, hundreds of them lay down their weapons, which were promptly locked away. this is the armory at the pros. 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 for rifle clone locally made called the or 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 were 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 cabinet stack with pistols and even far france 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 nuclear 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 to keep europe's largest nuclear power, plant, operational and above all, safe. the russian military has apparently captured secret, ukrainian documents, and electrically proved at major offences against the breakaway instant on best regions with planned bacchus. that's according to the russian ministry of defense. the goza, the john of the older communicates. it's a 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 fulfilment all the tasks, according to the 6 pages released by the russian defense ministry. there is allegedly, an indication that say, key of was planning to launch a major offensive against genetic and le ganske people republics. sometime in march, now russian defense ministry says that the documents. so prove that said ukraine's national guard. we're planning to deploy troops trained by american and british instructors and their naming and natal standard training program that's been underway in the western city devolved in ukraine since 2016 now are members of ukraine's national guards have been accused of committing war crimes by the united nations and namely as of battalion. now the documents released by the russian defense ministry. if they're true, they show that sir. the commander of the national guard knew that not everyone was

off to the task. he a stress the need to screen soldiers based on their mental state, including the capacity to take risks. when the carrying out orders now preparations were supposed to supposed to be complete by the 28th of february. but a rush us operation in ukraine canceled the large scale offensive against that and boss republics. now if the documents are legitimate, it seems that the ukrainians were clearly ignoring the minsk agreements which were designed to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict. the entire world has been calling on key if and on boss to stick to this ceasefire in the preceding weeks. ukraine has been denying it time. and again, that said, it's been preparing to use force against on boss. but moscow says that they usually discover documents prove otherwise microshore form. 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's 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 i've been covering the conflicts in that and bought the last 8 years. i was personally a witness to the murder of civilians including women, children, and the elderly, bi ukrainian, artillery. 14000 people were killed. now, people in dumb boss, so hope that the start of russia's operation against ukraine's military will finally end there 8 years of suffering. let's take a look at this clip to see what it was like in the last 8 years. ah

ah he rejects with vala, pulling it on the new drug with the me. oh

the, i'm sorry, a person. yes 70 wasn't a huge deal with your 30 some distressing scenes near on to germany, which is a major importer of rush and gas. it is reluctant to tightened the screw on energy supplies with its top diplomat warning, it might cripple the countries entire transport system the years bringing in fresh measures against russia over its operation in ukraine. charlotte to pinsky takes us to the latest. well, the e u has an outline exactly what it's going to do. we know that the new sanctions will be formally adopted this week when you least 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 bella roost. now it comes on

the top of the european commission announcing 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 and u. s, which you said they are going to outright band them. why? well, as you mentioned that quite simply the e. u. generally as well as some countries in particular are really heavily reliant on russian energy sources to keep the lights on. it's 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 3rd 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 box of energy company energy here in france, who has said that the europe white 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 to really hitting not just household businesses to and us that price has been rising. as we've seen that it's really starting to hit the pockets of europeans. these are individuals household already to rusty at their household things and 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 of fill legal cora in frogs, some petrol stations already charging more than $2.00 euros. and lita for petrol,

that is historically here. and of course you, people are really concerned about the prices that are creeping up when it comes to energy, motorcycle, mass, all dollar noise the my budget for petula diesel is enormous. so it's going to become insupportable until we're not ready to pay more because it's simply impossible for us to g. prices have already risen to hide. it ain't 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 in 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 start and with the consequences thereafter, there'll be other increases in all areas. not just feel the sanctions won't help if they want to do the things else anybody, it's become an unsustainable situation,

followed. i'm really struggling to pay bills as prices for electricity and gas or increasing ve covered gas supplies for europe should have no connection with what is happening in ukraine, the body. now the u. s. is warning chinese companies that violate export restrictions and supplied ships to russia may be cut off from necessary american equipment and software. the threat comes from us commerce secretary, gina romando, coming to export restrictions prohibit the supply of certain high tech items to russia and bill of worth china earlier, refuse to condemn russia over its actions in ukraine, and did not join antique russian sanctions. and now with us we have politics. professor joseph gregory mahoney from east china normal university professor. thank you very much for joining us here on our team. the u. s. is threatening that chinese companies which refused to back and p russian sanctions will face repercussions. what are your thoughts on that?

you know, chinese companies will be mindful sanctions, but i suspect their exposure is already somewhat limited. given the fact that russia has been under sanctions for many years. and chinese firms have figured out work around that limit risks while allowing them to remain in tune with their own commercial interest and aging foreign policy goals. china has held back from making any kind of strong statements on the ukrainian crisis. do you think the push to take one side is really effective diplomacy? what let's be clear at china has tried to articulate an effectively neutral position one that is consistent with its own foreign policy principles, which include a fundamental rejection of sanctioned china is sympathetic with russia, security concerns. these are the nato expansion, but it has not endorsed military operations in ukraine. and from a humanitarian perspective, china is calling increasingly for maximum restraint and ukraine sizes where you're

bringing desires for saturday. but above all, china is calling for a diplomatic solution and offering to mediate. and all of this, i think is far better than the western approach. which not only isn't working, it's throwing fuel on the fire. at city is throwing fuel on the fire. i wanted to ask you how punitive could you extensions actually be for china? well, you know, i don't know that we would see direct sanctions against china. but we can expect that the sanctions that are being put in place against russia are putting a lot of pressure on china economically. we're already seeing this in the stock market. china is not immune to cost push and food inflation, not immune to increasingly prices. we've seen the r and b go up and valued which negatively impacts exports, while inflation at home negatively impacts domestic consumption. and all this will depress manufacturing. now we know that china would like to hit a 5.5 percent growth target this year to meet a longer term development goals. while the i m. s. was projecting something more in

the area, 4.3 percent, even before the crisis in ukraine started. so all of this has tremendous micro macro applications for china, the chinese people, which paging have as it likewise take the way in stability and uncertainties. i cut its ability to plan and effectively execute on top of still dealing with tyco controls. the us china relations have struggled for years. how, how might the controversy that we currently seeing over the russia, ukraine crisis affect us already strained relationship? you know, we're hearing conflicting reports. on the one hand, the u. s. might threaten chinese companies if they don't comply with the sanctions . on the other hand, the u. s. is reportedly exploring whether china can help mediate. now, historically, china calls this, the 2 handed approach, one hand extended and greeting, the other, pulled back in a fist. but this approach doesn't work very well anymore and aging, or at least not like it did in the past. we also hear reports, you know,

that by is still focused on china as a bigger threat to american interest than russia. he hasn't relax trade war, he's continued to make false allegations against china continue to demonize china's political system. much like chopped it. however we did, the buying today reach out to missouri and venezuela looking to fill the gap is creating by, by banning rather than oil. so we're seeing some strategic flexibility given the skyrocketing oil prices. however, i don't see the white house really needing to press china. china has its own reasons to mediate which can only be done through a position on a routing. furthermore, china does not abandon its friends. when the wind is change, it might not support them unconditionally, but it doesn't about them. and it's because the test case here isn't russia, it's north korea. in short, while it's possible, a big deal might happen between the us in china when there's somehow resolve us trying to fix friction. i rate one very unlikely at this point. perhaps the most

we'll see is the us a green electron immediate and refraining from being a spoiler. well, we're 2nd be keeping our eyes on that story. and as you mentioned, north korea, joseph gregory mahoney, professor of politics at east china normal university. thank you very much. for joining us, you have on rti. thank you. well, that's the wrap for this hour. my name is paula leah and i'll be back again in 30 minutes with the latest. thanks for joining us. ah. ah. the western liberal world border is collapsed in the hedge money inside to maintain and expand. the conflict in ukraine is a proxy war. the real target is russia and indirectly china. the law of unintended consequences is in play. in the end,

it will be europe that pays the highest price. ah oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true was, is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend, have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows with

ah, with

the boys with me. yeah. i know that you know what i will take is dealing. yeah. the store, i'm not, you know, it is a 3, is that it's a pre off. the more that order was not us be, it was the whole is that i had done what i needed to do. pushing that i had done what i've known as bargaining or your spend, my life is not always the way that sure you had already done it. that. 6 was billed last or who are i'm always you.
