ah ah, russia urges the u. s. to disclose materials on its biological research program in the mid earlier allegations of military programs in ukraine, based on documents obtained there during the offense of as washington admits ukraine possesses so called biological research facilities. i should say that has taken control over europe largest nuclear power plant in southern ukraine. ot gets an exclusive glimpse into the huge austin stored at the plant back unused by the ukrainian army, half crates and crate stacked with assault rifles. collage to golf rifles as well as grenade launchers, avenue mission of all sorts and types. while ukraine concern fixed humanitarian cover,
12:01 pm
doors are now in operation. dumb bus officials say they are not working properly, puts it in zalinski. and so every effort will be made to ensure safety, evacuation, and the delivery of age and likely us some new cape germany, top diplomat projects and immediate ban on energy imports from russia saying it mike brown, the whole country to a hope that his record gas prices already have a clipping effect on european households. ah, watching i international, my name's policy here and where in the world you joining us from welcome to the program. now there are reports from ukraine on authorities that a children's hospital has been destroyed in mario pole in south east ukraine. we have no more information yet, and no information about any casualties,
12:02 pm
but let's cross tacos funded maria phenomena who is across this for us. maria, what do we know about the incident at the hospital so far? well, paula, it's very important to understand that we receive information from different sources, but all of it is very hard to be verified so far. but we hear from maria polls city council that the maternity hospital in the city center has been destroyed and that they have no information on casualty so far. but they are checking this information right now, but they stressed that the scale of destruction was a months and a ukraine's president. val a dimmer zalinski was very quick to react. he posted on his social media that p paul and children were on the rebel after russian air strike. and he also cold, full clothes in this case, immediately for russian airplanes. we of course requested comment from russia's
12:03 pm
defense ministry. we didn't receive it yet. and of course, we'll keep you updated and we'll share it with you as soon as we have it. meanwhile, moscow, since the beginning of its special operation here on the ground has been stressing it is not going to target civilian infrastructure, all target residential areas and will do its best to protect lives of innocent civilians. and also it's worth mentioning that to moscow announce ceasefire on wednesday to day to allow people all those who want to flee a cities under shalayna to, to evacuate using humanitarian corridor. so today is a day, as they call it, as a day of silence. so there were not supposed to be 80 fighting any strikes to day. and maria was at true for what was happening in my real poll. how was the evacuation of people throughout the course of the day?
12:04 pm
there unfortunately, not much good news. so far. my real poll is mine is among 5 cities, including the capital key of and the city of a had song on the black sea and also hike of consumer in the countries north, where civilians got virtually trapped under shalon. unable to evacuate for many, many days at the time when there was no power, no running water, no connection in the city. and there was lack of food. med is thing water, of course. so there were many people wanting to leave, but a not capable to do that because shelling was nervous. toppy so they were several attempts to help these people flee from from both sides of this conflict. but even the 1st one failed because shelly never stopped. and both sides accused each other of violating sci fi,
12:05 pm
and there were other attempts later with the russia proposing itineraries for these people are like the it, moscow was proposing that the vacuum ease will go to the territory of the russian federation on belarus. but keith was insisting that they should go to the western part of ukraine, and this is where they couldn't agree, and also russia informed all international organizations about all itineraries and also non ceasefire. but today we hear from official representatives of danielle people's republic that humanitarian corridors did not work because to day on wednesday, only 28 civilians, including 2 children, were able to leave the city. that's of course not that amount that we expect while heartbreaking seems coming out of mario pole and the parts of dumbass that you're in maria phenomena. thanks for joining us and stay safe. now let's have
12:06 pm
a look at the latest major development on the situation in ukraine. ukrainian authorities claim 6 humanitarian car doors have been opened to ensure a safe evacuation of civilians with a ceasefire on these roots. at the head of the dentist republic was national. still trying to stop people from leaving. it comes as russia military gains, access to secret documents, apparently showing the kid planned a major offensive on the breakaway eastern region. meanwhile, humanitarian aid is pulling into ukraine's hawk of region. now, under russia control and europe 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 block one, ban, rush, and fuel import. even if you, if it's doing so. so the details coming up in today's program russia is urging us to disclose materials on ukraine's biological program. moscow
12:07 pm
earlier alleged that a military program was conducted by washington and kids with materials and now being destroyed. the came is based on documents obtained in ukraine, while at the same time the us under secretary of state has admitted they are also called research facilities there. when off with a 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 some kind of facilities do exist and the washing ministry of defense says that there were or possible still
12:08 pm
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 scientist there worked on some extremely dangerous pathogens. these are very dangerous substances. we're talking about diseases such as cholera plague, or, and tracks at the list is actually much longer than that. apparently. as the russian ministry of defense claims, the staff there at these biological labord to reuse received orders from officials and ukraine to destroy either these pathogens or evidence of possible work on the development of biological weapons. and again, the russian ministry defense has shown documents in ukrainian about these concern
12:09 pm
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? there are current be still very active in ukraine. but what is very crucial for the russian foreign ministry to find out is the actual role of the wes. in this measure, the u. s. department of defense in administration must as soon as possible familiarize the international community with the programs conducted in ukraine. and do that officially, we believe that the materials existing now and the confirmation is coming from both ukraine and the u. s. did 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 bay jane once answers from washington on this
12:10 pm
particular story foundation. she's got who we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those lab. and 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 stored and what kind of research has been carried out into here. i do have to point out that kiev has been denied running any kind of program for developing biological weapons. but with this, they just come in from victoria new and again, who was 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. russian military officials say that they're continuing to analyze the documents, retired colonel, victor tompkins, who's now a military columnist for the test news agency says that the information that so far
12:11 pm
been revealed is disturbing. yellowstone still says bang and the creation of biological labord, terese, in other countries, is a blade and violation of the biological weapons convention. the documents for these laboratories, which the russian army obtained and what it found in the laboratory themselves, shows that the worst kind of pathogens were being developed there. so just plague, malaria, se, planning, fever and other diseases that can become pandemic. not only in ukraine or russia, but also in neighboring countries. it's prohibited to create such labord terese on us soil. and americans strictly follow that law. it's also understandable that leaks of poisonous and biological pathogens could come from such lapse. that's why they feared creating them on us soil. but when it comes to ukraine, kathy or georgia. what's the problem? ukrainian military forces are being accused of striking the power lines and electricity generators at the channel nuclear plant,
12:12 pm
according to the russian defense ministry. official say that facility is now supplied by backup generators and describe the attack as a deliberate move by ukranian nationalists. meanwhile, russia military forces say they found a stash of various weapons and ammunition. at the supper sky, nuclear plant, russian officials say some 500 arms that previously belonged to ukraine's national guard has been confiscated. that he tells emerged after russian forces gained for control of this nuclear power plant in southern ukraine, which is europe's largest atomic facility. russian officials are stressing that the plant and at staff are continuing to work as normal rad gasdio visited the site 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 there. go down this building or rather what happened to it
12:13 pm
is what caused so much fear. internationally about potentially a new nuclear incident in ukraine, where as up at oscar nuclear power station, the biggest nuclear power station in europe react number 12345, and 6, over in the distance. this was the sight of a pitched battle between russia troop. so our onsite and who they say will ukrainian em full traitors who penetrate to this building on the outskirts of the react, a complex itself. and those a pitched battle, ah, when they retreated, these are, are 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
12:14 pm
undamaged 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. the sabotage had succeeded, who if ukrainian troops who were ordered to fight off russian soldiers during the initial takeover had followed their orders, bought their letter bonfire. after which of the plans under control we found a huge stash of weapons and ammunition included heavy weaponry. we even found ammunition on top of reactor 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
12:15 pm
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 full rifle clone, locally made called the or crop. you have crates and crates stacked 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 home having written and signed papers that they wouldn't participate in
12:16 pm
any more fighting, again. rocket propelled grenades, ammunition seized from around the facility cabinets stack with pistols and even far arms 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 on they're 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
12:17 pm
were warned, worked 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. that electrically proved that major offensive against the breakaway eastern dumbass regions were planned back years. that's according to the russian ministry of defense because of the john of the older communicate, it's a command units of the national guard of ukraine, 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 of the tasks. according to the 6 pages released by the russian defense ministry, there is allegedly, an indication that say,
12:18 pm
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 hall for devolving ukraine since 2016. now, a members of ukraine's national guards have been accused of committing war crimes by the united nations and namely, a zone 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 is stressed the need to screen soldiers based on their mental state, including the capacity to take risks. when the carrying out orders now preparations
12:19 pm
were supposed to have supposed to be complete by the 28th of february. but a rush us operation in ukraine canceled the large scale offensive against that in 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 these fire in the preceding weeks. ukraine has been denying time. and again, that said, it's been preparing to use force against on boss. but moscow says that then you 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,
12:20 pm
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 mm hm.
12:21 pm
12:22 pm
a huge message for me when you're now a number of russian conscripts have been captured by ukrainian nationalists. it came tonight after the russian defense ministry admitted someone involved in russia's operation in ukraine. that's the spike, the authorities earlier claiming that only professional military personnel has been deployed. please, putin is now seeking punishment for officials who dispatched the conscripts in defiance of his instructions. the linear, unfortunately, being revealed that the number of conscript, the serving with russian armed forces units involved in the ongoing special operation in ukraine. and almost all of them have already been relocated on to russian territory. also, one of the units operating in home from has been attacked by group of nationalists, were born in a number of service men including conscript with, with captured. currently, we are taking all necessary steps to release them into the engagement of conscripts in combat zone. ukrainian, president vladimir,
12:23 pm
the landscape says he's country will continue fighting russian troops until careful against full control over its territory in an address he also called for western partners to secure a no fly zone over ukraine, saying they would be responsible for a humanitarian catastrophe. if they didn't fill in ski also says he's waiting for another round of talks with russia. germany, which is a major importer of russian guest, is reluctant to tighten the school on energy supplies. with its top diplomat warning, it might cripple the country's entire transport system that you're bringing in fresh measures against russia over its operation in ukraine as sharlitra pinsky reports. well the e u has an outline exactly what it's going to do. we know that the new sanctions will be fully adopted this week when you least meet just outside of paris invest side. 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
12:24 pm
of the european commission announcing, 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 an 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,
12:25 pm
we won't be able to transport ourselves. meanwhile, would also be hearing from the ceo. this is the boston energy company, n g 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. so really hitting not just household businesses to and us that price has been rising as we've seen that it's already starting to hit the pockets of europeans in individuals household already scene since alton ross d at their household bills and going up and up and up. now the impact of the war in ukraine and the sanctions ease hitting the price also at the pump. so the cost to fill legal car up in france, some petrol stations are already charging more than 2. you rose
12:26 pm
a 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 muscle door, no noise, 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 on her own, at mazda service. 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, 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 else. anybody. it's become an unsustainable situation,
12:27 pm
followed. 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 big tech and 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 map and reports. it's now a common ears approach for ortho sign and saying dissident movements. it doesn't like in a dramatic move. ready russia's point of view has been stripped from social media, google, apple, youtube, twitter, and facebook had decided that moscow is not welcome. ross come 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 outlet violates the key principles of free dissemination of information and unhindered access to it. for russian users. russian apps cannot be
12:28 pm
sold. russian concepts cannot be monetized. big tax 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. the 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 have been used against us as american citizens for 6 years now. in gabby's 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
12:29 pm
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 and defeat. now they celebrate rushes, moves, striking back at big tack. how like, how spineless republican leaders in america, who had total and complete 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 your citizens are talking about? data isn't just the new oil data in a time of war is priceless,
12:30 pm
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 wrapped for the sour, we are coming to live from the russian capital. my name's policy clear. will be back again in 30 minutes and see you then ah.
