ah ah, this gun, it reaction shows that that's really an essential struggle for the right of friendship to remain on the world map with the respect to its interests into tried no breakthrough in peace talks as the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers meet in uncorrected that companies that ukraine's president blamed russia for a strike on a children's hospital in the southern city of mario po, if a poor to be winded, more than a dozen civilians. moscow strongly denies the claims. despite monetary and cover doors being opened, many civilians are still unable to flee as they fear for their lives. they typically have nothing to do

with. we stayed in shelters for 2 weeks. it was really very scary. ah welcome to our international. thank you very much for joining us. i'm paula leo. and i'll be with you for the next half hour. now, russian foreign minister. so gala ross has denied allegations that more than a dozen civilians were wounded during the russian. a strike on the children's hospital in the city of marie o pulled. this is unverified video from the area. you can president, the lensky blames russia for the attack things 17 people were wounded and urging western powers to ramp up the sanctions against moscow. un has called the attacker graphic denouncing violence against civilians and saying a healthcare facility should never be targeted. the criminal has commented on the

situation saying it will investigate what happened while the russian foreign minister says the western media is manipulating. the facts. will be heard, a lot of this is child sevalla, the so called atrocities perpetrated by the russian armed forces during the security council of the un meeting. our delegation present it facts that these maternity word has been long captured by the czar battalion and by other radical militants. and they go kicked away all the pregnant women, all the nurses, all the medical professionals. so that was the face of the ultra radical as our battalion. we presented these facts 3 days ago. so you make, you can draw your own conclusions how the public opinion, there's manipulated all around the world. but unfortunately, with the 2nd side of any situation in the 2nd perspective, that allows you to get an unbiased view doesn't draw any attention. basically. now

the statement was made after the 1st top tier meeting between the russian and ukrainian foreign ministers that ended in the turkish capital with no major breakthrough. so involved again outlined moscow's main foreign policy principles. is weeds. you tried to draw attention to the fact that the crane is turned into anti russia for years. and when the west publicly opened lane shall, is darting from 30 to 1000 demanded from the ukrainian before the election. 2 megs up with hopped. our minds who are the width rush or the west, so either a your, we thus, or against us, like what kind of veiling southeast. what kind of western values started leads that were imposed on the ukraine in citizen spats about the crash and against all russian mal, do russian interests, religions, culture, language, security, and many other things. and now the western reaction towards our actions, so that would be really outrageously of schools and this kind of fraction shows

that that's really an essential struggle to be for the right of friendships to remain on the world mat on us with the respect to its interests. into tribes, we would not have any illusions that the west is reliable partner to swing one. have any illusions when the west speaks about their values. they believed it at least fairly clearly, and we won't have solutions that will be betrayed at any time by any one. so they had a lot of difficult time. so by the last time i assure use we will get out of these cries or so we, the healthier mentality was a healthier conscience. the ukrainian foreign minister says both sides have agreed to increase efforts to find solutions for the country's humanitarian situation. adding that adaptive is not ready to comply with moscow's demands immediately about author blamed nature for in action during the crisis. it has been our consistent policy to eventually joined nature as

a full member and enjoy security to guarantees provided by the need to charter. however, we understand that this is not going to happen in a blink of an eye, not even the foreseen foreseeable future. we also see from the reaction of nato as an alliance to the russian aggression against ukraine. that nature is not ready to act collectively to stop the war and protect civilians in ukraine from russian air rates. while i'm right now live in the studio here with ortiz, exxon. a boy. thank you very much for joining. i feel really nice to see to what thoughts did you have on this meeting given the lack of breakthrough? well, i'm not quite sure i would call it the breakthrough, but i think there has been some progress there. even though all 3 sides admitted that it talks were difficult, they did discuss humanitarian issues and many analysts point out that until this

issue is clear, it, you know, no talks and try to do and tactics is possible. but one thing that caught my attention is sort of off saying that given the russia continues to insist on the ukraine neutrality said it status, it's ready to provide security guarantees for that. and this is something actually pretty important, especially given what middle class, but the foreign minister, if you're crane, just sad that you know his, that grudges that ukraine has visited, the nato for not coming to it's a russia is as this tension interested in the ukraine's neutral status and if it promises security guarantees, it will definitely provide it as long as ukraine does agree to that. and as long as nato takes it as a fact, without trying to, you know, illicitly meddle in the, in the countries affairs, the president spoke of using the russian rouble in turkey. any more information you

can give us, there was a telephone call between vladimir putin and rep tape or the on i think yesterday. and they did discuss using various karen currencies. not only rumble, but also turkish liter, as well as chinese, you on, as well as gold and bilateral trade them. this person has been going on for some time all ready. but given that many foreign companies, especially western companies, are moving out of russia. turkey, definitely season opportunity and in the past after the crimea and issues after the claiming that fair and turkish companies did monetize on western sanctions. and i think they're more than ready to do that again. now there was another interesting point that was raised during that phone call between tape on them of logic and put in that i think worth mentioning is that at least according to the rumors or people connected to, i think governing circles. they also discussed russia's help in evacuating

turkish residents or turkish citizens from ukraine. and this is actually like it. so there are a lot of people there because turkish men, for many years have been told by marriage partners for both ukrainian or russian women that lots and lots of mixed families and ukraine. i think it could be stated as a fact already is using for nationals as a bit aware bargaining tool in trying to get foreign countries to get involved. this issue has been raised before and conversations been put in and find mr. moody of india. some other leaders also ask for help in getting the citizens home, say safely. so it's interesting that while they're discussing politics they're, they're also paying attention not only to their citizens, but also the tactics that ukraine uses. because that's definitely against the geneva convention. alexa, me something we need to keep attention on taking touch citizens out of ukraine. now

interpreted is an oil for national there at this moment, they're being held in ukraine. again as, as bargaining chips or as close to just whenever you want to take, it's not the 1st country or the only country to come for this potential mediator. what do you make of turkey's chances of being able to bring peace between the sides? ah, well, i would say i am very skeptical. even though i understand both rushes and your friends calculus in dealing with turkey, turkey, the very tricky partner, and i think many people at least here in multiple understand that what turkey is after is not so much peace, but it's its own interest. and as you read the paper and i was on the phone, this logic putting his own wife chip to the airwaves and addressed the ukrainian people, sending them love and the saying how she prays for the you know, for the well being of the ukrainian women and in person for the well being of the landscape via so. turkey is playing both sides have half major security and

business interest in both russia and ukraine in the ukraine. specifically, it's been selling it's, it's calm, but drones buy out of that company has direct ties to the turkish governing family. and the on son in law is in charge of back to our production. and there were talks about producing some of the engines, or perhaps even some of the rockets for those drones and ukraine. there's also a major trade going on between the ukraine and turkey, around $7000000000.00. but it's trade with russia is much bigger. like somewhere in the range of $33000000000.00 and clearly turkey also needs to keep russia on that side because it has its own tensions with the west. it has its business interest in russia. i mentioned turkish businesses looking into the opportunities here as well as it needs russia. geopolitical support because turkey has its own

host of difficulties with the west. when you say motivated by its own self interest, probably not the 1st or the last time. we'll see that happen with the insurance and you can't blame them for that. and if you know, you never know what can be in breakthrough for peace or if it's even if it's, you know, material interest so, so be well, we'll keep an eye on us. thank you very much for bringing us that update on a boy because it's been a pleasure talking to you. good to be really polish for you and say is more than 2000000 people have fled ukraine because of the conflict, including 1000000 children. now the organisation has described it as a historic exodus. many have been speaking refuge in neighboring countries, particularly in poland, in the west and russia. in the east. you authorities have been increasing humanitarian aid for ukraine, saying they expect millions more refugees and emphasizing that they will come to

come. many of those fan ukraine say they have endured a lot of suffering before i forget, when was the last time i ate? i'm so scared when we and do 12 days of shelling. i believe that you didn't see them are there this you didn't hear that warm story with why i already knew this. there are a lot of people staying in the shelters, and there's a lot of confusion. there is no water, no mobile service, gas or anything. and russian troops have broken people's phones. if we stayed in shelters for 2 weeks, it was really very scary. however, despite humanitarian court, colorado has been opened. some people still can't leave in a village near mario cole and the ban expert public civilians have had to remain the same. care has given them no opportunity to use the safe. so they say they fear for the lives of their loved ones, the see it the new the has the new to plenty of them,

but the new there you go to monsignor to who are the at least corker fall on yours did. you will keep brown. okay. i thought is a good idea. when you've done your most of the water would, would back in what was it were you good using is you don't you go to gordon. awesome. get to the world. my professional learners to one with us. when we put the really ukraine says that has inflicted casualties on russian forces on the eastern outskirts of kids. now this footage is being shown by ukrainian media and a claims to be of destroyed russian military hardway. there was not yet been any official confirmation of the claims, all of the numbers of russian casualties. in while ukraine's president has criticized western leaders for not sending enough military aid, vladimir zalinski added that the waste must shoulder the blame for civilian deaths for refusing to impose a no fly zone over his country. he has also legalized civilians shooting russian

soldiers with any kind of weaponry in their possession while the countries on a war footing. meanwhile, their situation on the ground is getting worse for people living in the don best region. moscow says some 200000 people have fled from denise general guns republics to russia. in the last few weeks alone, the regions being under attack since 2014, the cold calls have warned that nationalists are increasingly using them as human shields. ukrainian soldiers occupied the whole town. they were hiding in several places around the turn. many were located near the buildings where people live, the occupy the abandoned facilities put their military equipment there. they did not care about the locals. we were like a human shield for them. i can't say whether they let the people out of the turn or evacuated. anyone. i don't think it's true. the chinese foreign ministry

spokesperson has accused washington of spreading misinformation over beijing stance on ukraine's crisis. adding that washington's trying to deflect its own responsibility the u. s. has been disseminating. does information about china over the ukraine issue in an attempt to shift blame, stow confrontation and profit from the issue? the practice as despicable and malicious, asian says the new york times article falls falsely accused of having prior knowledge of russia's special operation. and that us officials are complicit in the misinformation. what we're now joined lie of by a senior politics lecture at the you case, boss, university tuck, new one. thank you so much for joining us. do you think wasted media? have a track record of making similar false military claims?

i think in this time i can see the media. i have read expressly in the european us hardy polarize and i can say compared to the cold war, the relationship between the u. s. u. k. and also with the soviet union. it's actually in the us poor, the rises nowadays. i actually, i have read the news and i also find a very difficult sometimes to trying to trying to what is true or false. for instance, i tell you and the early reports suggesting that in, in what i read in the news here in the okay, that the largest nuclear plant in ukraine was on fire. yeah. but it, and i got recently, i just got got a message from my friend from india and he just told me that no, it was a false report. so. so i, i have a feeling that things are now a bit kind of bull towel in terms of the credibility of the media report here. ok.

what do you agree or would you disagree that beijing, in terms of its comments, said that washington would want to deflect attention from america's role in ukraine is facing right in that respect. ok, i think we need to read your and walk the aging sees, criticizing the u. s. office the and i think there's a political motivation on the side of the america media for sure. but at the same time for what is transpiring now in your k, sorry, in your claim, and also in europe, ease causing concerns to beating and ok. on one hand, beijing does not want to see that the united states is trying to the, by the relationship between russia and china. and i, i read quite a number of thing, 10 reports from the america. and they were from how consistent people trading

a picture that in russia is being beholden to china because she has to rely on chinese finance for energy, oil and other things. yeah. but i think these are the ones either honestly and competitive to the cold war when, when the soviet union and china, i think these kind of mutual relationship is based on that time was only based on the article reasons. but nowadays you, if you look at these, the scale with the export of china, russia, corporation, these 8th is beyond that. this energy is fine in this technology so, so, so i think, i think this is something bring the u. s. the u. s. is obviously they also want to, you make use of that you can crisis through to trying to divide by russia and china . ok. but at the same time, what china is also worrying at the same time, when did,

when did you notice the time to spread this information about china had a prior information about what's going on. you're going and so it's of all i thing the chinese are also looking at what is going on in the european continent because all these human italian crisis, all these work with ease heating, poland, and heating will mania. and the photo he think to germany. and because of the war and the conflict in your playing people in germany, for instance, of their scares, death, scared and then and, and china would also be very concerned eve, if things would continue. would that be affect the kind of a change or the pretty i'm also relationship between china and the europe on the ground here in, in europe. yeah. ok. you mentioned a warning of ties and a growing close to between russia and china. how would you characterize the relationship at the moment between china and the united states is going through

some kind of difficult period i i think china us relations now day compared to the poles next some period. yeah. that was in the early ninety's and 90 seventy's. i think nowadays is a far worse than, than, than this, the 50 used to call that time china and, you know, they, they don't have any article and overlapping. they only work because they work together because of the problem with this become a problem with the soviet union. yeah. and now the situation is, china and russia have the common problem walk into the stays. because even if this is causing problem to them, both in the east asian and the european front. and so if you look at the situation,

the, in general, the us china relations, i'm not very optimistic about how would we go because all these structural or this kind of structural rivalry. okay. and now look, i think, i think what, what the trauma administration has proposed the coupling, right? a from a structural willis point of view, i'm afraid that after the coupling, if, if, if trump, we discussed that to the company in china from the u. s. then a property that the painful war in the next step. now the by the it's not doing that is the by then is trying to scope and these kind of narrative and go back to kind of started competition. but still, i still see it as kind of talk at the coupling. yeah. you see that these different cognitive nautical company of china getting listed in the entity lease. and was a very specific chinese of the soul of getting a target the sanction by the american for all teeth. and these is

a target the be coming now target that the coupling is different from the kind of tool told. the coupling was a large extent coupling or trauma ministration, but still what kind of coupling. and so we still couldn't get out of the structural why for it between china and you will see you because it depends on how mr. by them are doing ok. well, some interesting analysis there of senior politics. electra pac newman long. thank you very much for joining us from boss in the u. k. and now, staying in the u. k. senior british royal prince william is being caught out of his comments on the one ukraine. the 2nd in line to the throne, apparently contrast at the crisis to conflicts in africa and asia. adding that to quote, it's very alien to see this in europe. and the backlash has been pretty fist. so after your ancestors, prince william stall, colonized cost genocide on so many lands you decided to make this statement. your country was built on wars. it's literally your history. how do you have

a 1000 gear history of colonialism, a literal 100 year war? launch 2 world wars allow multiple genocides and bama doesn't nation since 911 alone yet make this type of a statement. prince william's comments regarding africa and asia are truly atrocious. you wonder if people like him or that an educated or if this is all intentional? it's jarring that someone actually thinks europeans are civilized and superior, and the rest of us are trash. at the same time though, but his weapons are playing a central role in the war in yemen. yemen has been ravaged by war since 2014, with a saw the lead coalition fighting who to rebels to try and restore the often government. what's happening in the region has long been labeled as one of the worst humanitarian crises, with around 21000000 people in need of basic help. and goodman is not the only war torn country suffering massively right now,

but receiving little to no attention. i wish any p, claire de b is appalled by the double standard. no wall to wall t. v coverage, no emergency humanitarian response, no special plane or he's not even a mentioned in this plenary. no afghani delegations, i'm no statements. my god, they must be wandering. what makes their humanitarian crisis so on important is that the color their skin isn't that they're not white, they're not european, not their problems come from a u. s. gone or u. s. invasion. my god, all wars are evil and all victims to serve support. action or tansy host of ortiz going underground, says the silence on the west. other wars is deafening. we have a strange class shaw of our liberal identity. though we've got to remember that the effects of this war has been to destroy press freedom to media,

freedom cultural freedom across an entire continent or the western body of this continent. and a democracy only exists with an informed electorate. therefore, can even say europe is democratic any more, or whatever russia loses by this. certainly in europe as a continent has lost its right to talk about free speech ever again. and it's already being already being commented on when global south leaders govern british broadcasting corporation use programs and so forth. and no longer can any european government talk about freedom of speech to anyone, anywhere in the world when it comes to understanding or even comprehending the brutality of the killing at the hands of e. u. nation and british and american weapons, that there really is no, there is no coverage to speak off of the 377000 killed according to the you and in

yemen at the hands of british american, a new nation weaponry. it just doesn't happen. and obviously we know that reportedly the saudis didn't even take biden's phone call when a he perhaps begged for increased oil supply. similarly, we won't hear about saudi human rights abuses because their oil somehow is, is, is an oil. it has fewer human rights abuses than the human rights abuses alleged against the russian federation in ukraine. russia is now thought to be the world's most sanctioned country foster passing those even imposed on washington's other stated enemies. we cross live now to flood is id professor of communication at the university of to read and professor thank you very much for joining us. does it surprise you that russia is now even more sanctioned than your country?

it doesn't surprise me. the american government has been trying to put sanctions on russia for many, many years. they are delighted they have found some good excusing their opinion. but let me say that iran is not able to sell oil and gas europe. so. ready it may be that the steering is number one in terms of being sanction. it's possible to believe to fully isolate states 3 sanctions. i don't think so. i think the academic literature is clearly points to the fact that questioning countries to sanction does not work. it hasn't worked for iran has been under sanctions for the last 43 years. i think that said, listen, maybe for russia that it's possible to survive sanctions, it's possible to progress sanctions on scientific achievements,

military capabilities, advances in different areas. but human development is concerned. it is a sign that not only sanctions do not look, you can be sanctioned and surely try it. we had this american general mackenzie that was said is the commander of the south american sounds come pointing out to the fact that, you know, has achieved this level over match. meaning that in military capabilities, it's not possible to suppress either military equipment is made internally, almost all the military equipment is done inside the country. and that shows scientific progress to be able to actually be do these things. so that's it, that's less and further sanction country,

it's actually able to be able to probably find the section, not any progress. do you think the west might actually reach a point that they were great some of a restrictions, particularly with regards to energy. i mean, if you just have to look at the way the record high, you gas prices, you know, with regard to it and they did, we had this policy of maximum fish of campaign leveled against, you know, for many years. and if you listen to by the officials, they clearly opened the repeatedly say that the maximum ratio campaign fee. but i need to add that we need to develop the concept of resistance. it doesn't come to magically failure of missing sanctions. the need to be accompanied by this culture that is going to resist. so as you can not just have everything and,

and also try. so i was actually happy to see that mcdonald lester once in russia is, is closed and nobody needs to eat mcdonalds is actually not good for your health. and then the country can progress in other areas, instead of paying american companies expensive, expensive amount of money to be present. and of course, it's not only the impact that sanctions have on russia. in your opinion, professor, how will the global economy be affected by all these measures against moscow? i think everybody's going to lose. we're not going to have any winners. american taxpayers are going to lose your opinions, obviously are going to lose. it's not good for europe to be in confrontation with russia. russia is going to be europe neighbors for many, many centuries as they have been. and it's.
