[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, 2 weeks since the conflict erupted in ukraine where people's homes have been devastated and many are fleeing as the russian military advances. some civilians are still unable to leave despite humanitarian corridors agreed upon by cuba and moscow. even if we stayed in shelters for 2 weeks, it was really very scary. thank you. could have gotten us and it with that was the with parking visits, families hiding in basement in the war torn, luke gone to public as showing continues to hit residential areas with

after 8 years. we know when someone fires when shells full russia urges us to disclose materials on its biological research programs and ukraine, amid allegations about possible production of biological weapons in violation of international law. ah ha, broadcasting live to retro studios in moscow. this is our t international. i'm john thomas, and we know you have a choice when it comes to information and we're glad you're with us as we cover the war in ukraine. now, it has been 2 weeks since the conflict corrupted in ukraine with masses of people continuing to flee or take shelter. and many finding their homes destroyed in the fighting. here are some of the latest developments. a hospital and the southern city of new pal has been devastated in an apparent air strike the cranes of president zalinski was quick to blame russia for the attack. saying 17 people were

wounded and urging western powers to ramp up their sanctions against moscow. now the russian military has repeatedly denied to targeting civilians. ukraine's president celebrity of care will secure 6 humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of civilians on thursday. adding that 3 such safe stones were arranged the previous day, enabling about 35000 people to leave the city of sumi as well as the towns in the key of region and the city of and there go dark. now moscow says that russian troops have been observing a limited cease fire for 10 evacuation routes. it had earlier proposed during peace talks with noting that ukraine rejected those that lead to russia. russia, the defense ministry says ukrainian forces have been targeting power lines and electricity generators at the turn noble nuclear plants. moscow says the attacks were provocation by ultra nationalists,

and the facility has switched to using backup generators. russia earlier claimed it took control of the plan to with the local ukrainian staff. continuing their work there. the un says more than 2000000 people have fled to ukraine because of the conflict, including 1000000 children. the organization has described it as an historic exodus . many have been seeking refuge in neighboring countries, particularly poland in the west and russia to the east. you authorities have been increasing humanitarian aid for ukraine, saying they expect millions more refugees and emphasizing that. they are welcome to come. many of those fleeing ukraine say they have endured a lot of suffering from i forget, when was the last time i age? i'm jo scads. we enjoy 12 days of shelling. i believe that you didn't do this. she didn't hear that. i'm very miserable, i hear a lot of people staying in the shelters and there's a lot of confusion. there's no water,

no mobile service gas or anything. and russian troops have broken people's phones. if we stayed in shelter was for 2 weeks. he was really very scary. however, despite humanitarian corridors being opened, some people still can't leave in a village near by your bull and the dance could republic civilians have had to remain. st. give has given them no opportunity to use the safe. so they say they fear for the lives of their loved ones t, then you got her here, get honey, be near a leaf, coca cola you wasn't, you won't keep prom. facade is, what are you when you, when you most of the water with what the human, what does it were you using it? thank you. good. had gotten us and get a i was to with russia, says the army of the la guns people's republicans taking control of 3 more villages,

while ukrainian military infrastructure continues to be targeted by russian forces . and as our t 's, maria financial comments, ukraine's return fire has hit places far from military positions. a regular 2 story apartment building in a densely populated residential area in the town of kit or am i speaking in the la guns republic? it has no army positions here. it's not a strategic point, but it's shelled over and over again. we thought we were filming, and abandoned building, but surprisingly caught sign of la workable. sure. the showing started yesterday in the evening though, and it's still happening. locals have got used to the sounds of shelly and seemed now to pay no attention to them. well, still terrified. we've got used to this yesterday too. we walked under flying

shelves, hiding from mines and shells to save their lives, locals and underground a tray. they now leave a refuge to eat and sleep. there is no connection to the outside in this basement. so we bring its residence, the latest developments that the shower continues, but so do peace talks. the needs of the negotiations, the so called mental talks last 8 years, but to no avail. there isn't any hope left for those talks. we take a look around these basement. it seems unfit for people believing that this is a new home in the storage facility. half of the doors of food on the shelves are now empty. people have been hiding here for days. whether we're younger, those water, sedatives shells did fall before about 200 meters from here. after 8 years. we know when someone fires when shells full, we know who shoots the nazis of their. the big question remains,

why is this village and many others relatively far from frontline? being targeted at all through stitches came up a bit. we see terrorists like methods of waging war. we shoots at their artillery, but they don't shoot back at us. but at residential buildings, sometimes 2 shells hit the same building was like any of those. you know, sometimes they don't even move their artillery and they set the position and shoot chaotically. the result is gruesome. innocent civilians continue to get hurt in the showing, including women and children. we now came to the logan square public children's hospital where right now doctors are fighting for the life of a 14 year old boy. he was brought here from the city on the very front line with severe injuries he's been in coma for several days. the clinic in his home village is not that we for the series surgery. the foy needed to time for an ambulance to arrive on the shall in again, and bring him to the regions main health center. by the time we finished editing

this report, the boy was in critical condition. hogan's, crew, public officials saying the last 3 weeks, they have been almost 700 attacks on their territory from positions of the quinn in forces. using heavy weapons, it took lives of at least 7 civilians, much more injured and has to fight and continues. these numbers might go higher grief notional artie from the lugens, chris public. russia is urging the us to disclose materials about biological research programs in ukraine, amid allegations that those countries could have been collaborating to produce weaponized germs in violation of international law. russia has said it's uncovered documents in ukraine, supporting those accusations, but the white house is spokesperson. jan. saki has denied the claims and says, it's russia who could use them as a pretext for deploying chemical weapons. we took note of russia,

the false claims about alleged us biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in ukraine. we've also seen chinese officials, eco, these conspiracy fairies. this is all an obvious ploy by russia to try to justify it further premeditated unprovoked and unjustified attack on ukraine. meanwhile, the u. s. under secretary of state victoria newland has admitted there are research facilities there. when asked whether to give poses 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 western ministry of defense says that there were or possible still are quite a few biological labs that are either us run or us funded. and 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 to raise received orders from officials and ukraine to destroy either 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 on independence, the 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? there are current be still very active in ukraine. but what is very crucial for the and foreign ministry to find out is the actual role of the u. s. in this musician, the u. s. department of defense and 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 confirmations coming from both ukraine and the u. s. to knock at 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. she got home, we call on all parties concerned to ensure the safety of those labs 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 to here. i do have to point out that kiev has been denied running any kind of program for developing biological weapons. but with this latest comment 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 they are continuing to analyze the documents, retired colonel victor republican, who is now a military columnist for the test news agency says the information revealed so far is disturbing deal with them. so 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 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?

meanwhile, russia claims that ukrainian forces have brought ammonia to the heart of region in order to accuse russian forces of allegedly using chemical weapons. but lou ganske officials say ukraine placed explosives at ammonia, warehouses to blame luc ganske in a provocation. the number of russian conscripts have been captured by ukrainian nationalists. it came to light after the russian defense ministry admitted some were involved in russia's operation in ukraine. that's despite the authorities earlier claiming that only professional military personnel had been deployed. president putin is now seeking punishment for officials who dispatched to the conscripts in defiance of his instructions. lilian, unfortunately, it's being revealed that the number of conscripts is 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 front has been attacked by

a group of nationalists or a number of service men including conscript with, with captured. currently, we are taking all necessary steps to release them into the engagement to conscripts in combat zone. ukrainian president vladimir zelinski says his country will continue fighting russian troops until kiev regains 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 humanitarian catastrophe. if they don't, zaleski also says he is ready for another round of talks with russia. while western media outlets focus on the ongoing war in ukraine, their rhetoric is much different from what it was during previous conflicts that their countries were involved in. konstantin ross has compared the narrative a tank inside latimer. putin's hat that's the imaged economists chose for its cover story on the russian military campaign in ukraine. and this is what the same

magazine had on its front page back when the u. s. invaded iraq in 2003, a nice picture of george w bush and the title. now, the waging piece, you know, the difference as they say, when you hear american mainstream media talk about the ongoing war in ukraine. don't forget to check what the very same outlets used to tell the whole world when it was their country conducting military operations. in 1999, the western nato launched a bombing campaign of yugoslavia. im also in europe, which saw thousands of casualties and millions of people displaced, time magazine sat the attack quote unquote, open the door to peace. while what followed didn't look peaceful at all. at stake is our entire policy in europe since the end of world war 2 to promote stability and democracy. nato's credibility is on the line. i was suggesting we bomb belgrade . i was suggesting that we send american pilots in an blow up all of the bridges on

the dina. i was suggesting we take out his oil supplies. i was suggesting very specific action. ah ah . ah. western media definitely has a knack for justify wars in 2001 during the u. s. invasion of afghanistan, the economists came up with discover a heart rending, but nasa very war. and that said, no, call us for sanctions for businesses to shut down. no condemnations just to pat on

the back or the american military with little concern for the potential humanitarian catastrophe. that would follow the invasion. ah, ah. the western corporate media seem to be very concerned about the polite of common people in ukraine now, which is completely understandable yet when the us invaded foreign nations. the same talking has pushed a different narrative where regular of danny's or iraq is effectively had to be thankful and to consider themselves the lucky ones for being liberated. this is all about one evil dictator who possesses brutal weapons with which he will threaten

and hurt a lot of people, including a lot of americans unless we take them away from him. i'm asking this question over and over. why would we intervene and libya the most consistent? one is because it be the right thing to do because people are dying for altruistic reasons. oh, and don't forget, it's russia that are seen as waging a brutal war and oppressing people. when it comes to the american military, there's always room for admiration and glorification. we see these beautiful pictures at night. i'm guided by the beauty of our weapons. i think the dollar from became president of the united states. he talked about international norms, international rules about america's role and enforcing justice in the world. now the very same media that basically have to justify multiple wars across the world are pre about what's going on in ukraine if this conflict between moscow and keith has exposed anything,

is that there is no limit to the level of double standards and high poxy anymore the u. k. may lift its current, been on drilling for shale gas, as part of plans to boost the countries energy security just comes after the british government decided to phase out imports of russian oil by the end of the year. now the case energy sec, charity plan includes steps to increase its output of oil and gas in order to reduce dependency on russian fossil fuels. this includes plans to launch 6 north sea oil and gas projects, but the push faces opposition as it goes against the case plan to be carbon net 0. by 2050. we discussed the issue with political commentator anthony webber, who thinks the policy will devastate green ideals, be the policy, is the government to come out with now? are going to be very destructive of the great gender. because the taxation on my mitchie was funding. i've actually read gender pool the all of the u

. k. so we're going to be, and i'm, i'm signing on sustainable position. and the great, the gender will be caught back and it started already side because the greeting party in the you carry, i've not seen my set all of supported bish attacking or russia without looking at what is in the interest. so be you guys, in the case essence, what is needed is a sense of realism and if weak but politicians then you can also turn where you cop and change their policies that messes and again to suffer an enormous in one form. i haven't p r t for buttons, did she mention that these times would work out again that you carry about

the u. k. would south a farm all suffered in many, many ways because the financial reputation will suffer as well as the, the economic reputation. ah, many ukrainians and foreigners who are trapped in the country are attempting to flee. the shilling that is proving to be especially difficult for non ukrainian citizens. black and other ethnic minority evacuees say that they are experiencing racism while waiting to cross the border into poland. one, nigerian medical student says border guards are prioritizing white people through the checkpoints, in laval that's in western ukraine, allowing bus loads of ukrainians through while making other ethnic refugees travel by foot. we spoke with a leading figure of a movement that works to unite indigenous and diaspora groups of african origin. he shared his views on the ledge, racism being suffered, as well as

a broader question, ukrainian conscience on the got gimme debussy, nato should not have extended its influence to territory. so close to russia. president putin and russia have been subjected to aggression. they are not aggressors, aggressors or the western oligarchy. native, when the european union decreasing people are the tragic collateral damage and hurts. when i see it, when i think about it hurts me even more. when i see how the africans living in ukraine are being discriminated against. by the craniums 1st, i think the conflict could have been avoided if the major agreements had been respected. and 2nd, as is also very important to say that the cranium authorities had not been used as a tool in the wrong hands. although i deplore this war because no one can ever be happy about a war, i think the president prudence reaction has been predictable. given all the threats the russia faces, the west had wanted to turn ukraine into its tool. it supplied with weapons for several years. and moreover, guarantee protection to the ukrainian authority. but here again, we see the deception the hypocrisy of this political demon. to some extent, this western oligarchy which promises to help its allies. but only when the

situation is red hot. these people are always trying to act through a proxy. this is what they did in syria by supporting terrorist forces. this is how the actors in libya also supporting terrorists forces the landscape. toy of the western lead understands that he has many friends, but his friends are very far away. in any case, i hope that the western oligarchy will understand that its attitude towards russia and these proud peoples in general, needs a profound shift. ukraine's call for international mercenaries to come and fight on kiera side has sparked an uproar among african countries with nigeria warning its citizens to avoid participating in the conflict against russia. the reports say a number of nigerians have gone to the ukrainian embassy to express their willingness to fight for the foreign ministry in a bu. just says it won't allow ukraine to recruit nigerians to serve as mercenaries earlier and other west african countries. senegal condemned what it described as the ukrainian embassy there trying to enlist local fighters saying such actions

were illegal. earlier we discussed the case with african affairs analyst lawrence freeman explained why africans are so worried about what's happening in ukraine. the majority did not support you in resolution. there were 27 african nations. they voted for the united nations general assembly resolution condemning russia. there are 5455 nations in africa. either you have actually 17 or 20 abstain, or left the voting room left the general assembly. so they wouldn't have to go. because africans are not, they are very weary of what's going on because they've seen the problems in their own countries. and they are also very wary about the u. s. lead effort. because it was the nick countries attack. and there's a lot of racism going on in ukraine in the treatment of africans by some of the nazis or near nazi nationalists. so the african deny,

gung ho are for this for supporting ukraine at this point. that does it for me this hour in 34 minutes, i will be back with another look at what is happening in the war and ukraine. stay with us. this is our t international. ah ah, a kid and engage with so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground.

ah, both of us, new bishop with cooper, is a computer for me for that already completed with with a

g. as in yet, did you want to walk see this? who's

ah. ah ah ah ah. hello and welcome to cross topler. all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. the west liberal world order is collapsed in the hedge of money and sought to maintain and expand the conflict in ukraine as 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 cross fucking the liberal order. i'm joined by my guess, patrick lawrence in norfolk, he is a foreign affairs commentator who's column superior in consortium news and other publications in washington. we have the boy mileage, he is a blogger, and columnist, and in paris we cross a john laughlin. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy. i gentleman crossed up rules and the fact that means you can jump in any time you want. and i always appreciate, john, let me go to you 1st in paris. i'm titling this program liberal order collapse or liberal order hits a brick wall. it's that we're in a situation right now, due to the machinations and intentional policy decisions made primarily in london, washington. they've hit a brick wall and their publics are going to pay a very high price for what it's a we don't get usually used foreign policy decisions. they happen somewhere far away. and the implications are only for the people that are on the,

on the losing end of it. now we have energy prices, migration, other issues,
