a phobia and hysteria around the world. it's politics and politics shouldn't affect the lives of people with there's no such thing as fast tracking. efficient leaders respond to the ukranian presidents, but to frantically join the block. ah and welcome to our international policy. and we're coming to you live from a studio here in moscow. i'll be your host for the next half hour. thank you for joining us. now, social media giant met as again, broken its own rules to allow nationality based hate messages. that's time to support a public cause for violence against russian soldiers. the firm which owns instagram, what's up and facebook will also reportedly let users call for the death of the russian and bell of russian presidents. the move has shocked even the un human

rights office, which says it will talk to the american multinational. and there's already been a massive on non backlash. we don't allow hate speech except against certain people from a certain country is one hell of a can of worms. when he is speech calls for violence, death, threats and praise for neo nazis are considered acceptable by matter because of war, but only against the enemy. then they are clearly state affiliated media. they're also directly promoting and encouraging conflict violence and war. facebook is changing its hate speech policy so that some users can come for violence against russians. and you can support that good nazis to the company, cleans the decision as temporary and comes in connection with russia. special operation in ukraine matter will reportedly lift its hate speech restrictions for users only from some european states including russia and ukraine. the tech giant, however insists the decision is not aimed at inciting violence against ordinary people. it comes after 2 weeks since met established

a special operation center in order to tackle hate speech on the platform and for move content that in sites violence. yet it's policy. you turn will also allow previously been praise for care of near nazi as of a battalion, quote, in the context of defending ukraine is to look at the infamous militia group at the heart of the common fighting. ah, independent journalist thomas rupert says, take giants simply mirror washington's foreign policy. well, there was this an old nice word for it. it's got quite receive them. we can even call it fresh, isn't this new nationalist when america to clear somebody,

somebody and an enemy, all these companies go that way and money is not as important as politics for them . and right now we see it with russia. it's not about money, not about business. this denise are not commercial companies. these instruments and, and now we have radical, i'm to rush russian policy in the west. and these companies support this. and facebook is just the most radical example. the internet companies always care about politics. and they always have the same opinion like washing ukrainian refugee movement is described as one of the fastest and largest in recent years by humanitarian organizations, with most seen to neighboring poland. polish authorities estimate that on average to ukrainians cross the border. if we 22nd, you officials have confirmed the blocks already received more than 2000000 people from ukraine with germany, belgium, moldova, and other countries said to have been overwhelmed by the influx. many who have flayed, say that they fear for the family's lives. all the time, the shooting,

we hear this will be afraid to go to the give my family try to the europe a shooting out and we shouldn't ready. but by sort of really just things. at a meeting with his bell about and counterpart vladimir putin has noted positive changes in moscow, key of talks and agreement on evacuation corridors has been a point of contention between here and moscow. since the 3rd round of bilateral talks last week, and 2 claims president has repeatedly accused russia of not a bane sci fi, a deal for civilian safe stones. moscow in turn says it's kid that's been deliberately preventing people from fleeing. rushes military has announced that the demit republics army has taken control of the city of vall. novak shut the site of intense fighting in recent days with civilians having found themselves caught in between the warring sides,

follow voucher is 60 kilometer from the city of dennis on march, the 1st, the rationing ukrainian sides agreed to open humana monetary and corridors for civilians. though they still haven't managed to function as intended, and artie crew went to the city in question and talk to locals, who have had to hide in basements. ah, val navajo is a small town of $20000.00 inhabitants. it's turned into one of the hottest spots on the dawn of us front with intense fighting going on for days. the situation is changing every 10 minutes. mm. the elderly women and children have been trapped in damp basements for more than a week now. mm. don't ask republics, forces share food and medicine ah

acidic, just you said a hearty just where relatively mild as others have sat in basement for a week now. it's been like help for us for 4 days. we didn't think we would leave for it just a day, a projectile pierced the roof, where the kids bedroom is a move of sheer 3 of them. we're simply cut off. nobody announced anything i wish someone would have just driven by and told us, for example, when they're going to get people out. but now they just shoot. and that said, we're sitting here and we are afraid to leave me. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says it's russia that is not ceasing fire, causing numerous casualties among civilians. he's decayed vaughn over her, a quote, heroic city, as residents have reportedly resisted russian forces. mighty open mario pl,

involved her remained completely. launch a ball though, we did everything necessary for the operation of the humanitarian court or the russian ships denazi's fire door. you're waiting president has expressed frustration off you. leaders push back his bed too fast track membership of the block. and they warn, there is no such mechanism for rapid session in place. and we open the next session procedure today with a country at war. i don't think so. should we close the door and say never, that would be unfair? can we forget about the balance of the region? we must be careful. this is a years long procedure. we have to look at what we can do in the short term. all the countries in the western part of europe that i speak to say that you shouldn't try to have an express train, a fast track procedure or accelerated accession process. we must not give ukraine the feeling that everything can happen overnight. the e. u is not ready for enlargement. it's decision is rooted in unanimity. russian, german school has been set ablaze,

and berlin firefighters managed to put out the fire and pennies on base, the gazing. any connections between the austin and antique russian rhetoric that is taken on an international scale with piano competitions, banning russian musicians amid a mass cultural backlash over the war. ukraine ortiz solid to bend ski reports. this is a war against russia. we are told this is a war against puting. we will hold the kremlin accountable. the 25th decent were adding president prudent and foreign secretary leverage to the list of sanctions. they are responsible for the deaths of innocent people in ukraine, in alignment with the decision by our european allies. united states will join them in sanctioning president putin. despite that, the west acts continues to fall on every day russian citizens. whether that be the direct consequences of sanctions or measures that have been taken, he in europe take the situation in flanders in belgium,

where new students from russia will now be excluded from a scholarship program that followed a request that came from ukraine. however, according to the flemish education minister, the ban is about sleeping on the prussia. we're not doing this because we believe that all russians are guilty of the war, but we are doing it because we hope that measures like this will help to put pressure on those in power in russia. oh brussels. they were conflicting opinions on the measure with i don't find that fair in the sense that the russian people have little to do with this. i suppose most russians are anti war. it is not a good thing to do against russian students or any russians, but maybe it will work. there are both santian pro russian opinions. we should be more nuanced and balanced in our views, which is quite rare and media. i don't think it's fair. i think her everyone deserves education, and i think the most population in russia,

they don't want this war. they won't be concerned about this one thought is really unfair to lot of the students that go down not responsible for the actual situation, like in the phantom things like that. but on the other side, they do think that that's a measure needs to be taken against lucia in order to have a bit of an impact on what they're doing. cancelling all the events related to russia is also continuing in wales in the u. k. the court, if filler monica orchestra has removed, works by check kosky from its program at an upcoming concert, the once planned all tchaikovsky concert is now being substituted in light of the recent russian invasion of ukraine carter philharmonic orchestra field a previously advertised program including the $1812.00 overture to be an appropriate at this time, though, the move was apparently supposed to be in support of ukraine. the idea of cancelling music by a russian composer who died more than a 100 years ago,

has provoked ridicule cancelling a tchaikovsky. concert is so deaf, ordinary russians will write it off as mad blad, overdoing the propaganda, doubly absurd because tchaikovsky spent a lot of time in ukraine and incorporated a lot of ukrainian folk music and stories into his work. well, this is clearly no skin off. the nose of tchaikovsky for up and coming russian musicians being canceled is problematic. in island, the doubling international piano competition has decided that they are not welcome . it told one applicant at the he had been rejected, simply because he's russian. he was left wondering vase. i'm just curious, how will this help to stop the war? the anti russian rhetoric is though, now facing some backlash in the us. conservative commentator candace owens is one

voice calling. it's out absolutely appalling. the way russians are being treated in america and rolled that are leaders and government institutions are allowing. busy for the times calling for this discrimination following the global black lives matter, syria is quite telling russian lives. despite this, the march against russia in all levels of life continues the international cat federation, for example, which describes itself as the united nation of cats, has also got. it's claws out more keys who have found themselves unfortunate enough to have russian owners have been banned from the competitions. now if that isn't kathy, don't know what is charlotte? even ski r t. paris with unprecedented harassment of russians aboard. we asked people here in russia how they feel about what's happening. thou watching frontier. i support

the operation and follow the news about it. that was right. for 8 years they killed people in don bus. how long could we allow it for you? i understand that the decision to start, the operation was hard, but it was the only way possible. therefore, i supported no matter how hard it is to say. so democratic values are fundamental in world practices. but if we look at what's happening with our cultural figures, athletes, our media, then 1 may ask, where is democracy or human rights here, it's obvious for me that what's happening now in regard to our country, people, organizations, businesses, is 1st and foremost a demonstration that there is no true democracy in the west, of course, just to be honest, i'm shocked by what's happening abroad and how they treat russians. cultural figures, athletes, and it's a kind of russ, a phobia and hysteria around the world. maybe that's because now people live in the gadgets more. don't look around them. maybe think less and believe mass medium. all with a finished the mom. you, you pretty, you this pressure on russians as bad. it's unfounded. people aren't guilty. it's politics and politics shouldn't affect the lives of people. i need them words,

lucian. they think they'll choke us with sanctions. you today, i'll achieve nothing. so wholesale, say to i faced it in shops, but i think we'll come through. russia is too big to close and forbid everything we have goods of our own. i think we're independent from others. mr. ashna with the sanctions on scare me, we'll if through it and develop our own production really is it will do for you as, as looking to sanction pakistan in a move widely seen as punishment for his. lemme beds, refusal to take an openly hostile stones against russia. the stop in pakistani terror act claims the real reason for the plan restrictions is because the country backs international terrorism. if introduced the u. s. will cut military exports, financial sanctions, and other foreign assistance. washington has so far failed to get islam about to condemn russia for the situation in ukraine, and to find out more about that we crossed live now to it. fired hallett mohammed

and independent security analyst in islamabad. thank you so much for joining us. is this really about the pakistani sponsorship of terrorism, or is that just a pretext for something else? now this is a pretext. i think you remember when the u. s. pulled out of the sun, they put the bill forward as part of the land reconstruction bit, very much highlighted pakistan and it's still our relationship with terrorism. whether it be with the bun or whether it be smeared or any other countries. the goal has been to try and blame us as a global export group, terrorism. so i think this is, it's not about blaming barker standard or branding bottles done. i think it's a brush your actors being used to get the right kind of meant to support the u. s. agenda. and not just the us agenda. is it connected to washington putting pressure on islam a bad to oppose russia? well, i think you'd be very difficult to get back to russia. our prime minister,

the other day, was very open in responding to the european union, demanding the sun, make some kind of statement of russia being that we are in a very g, a strategic, strategic location in the world. russia and china are very, very close allies to pockets. the relationship with russia has been growing over the past couple years and china that a long term relationship. it's very difficult to expect a park or sunny government or any institution with them to come out and say anything about the russians and their involvement if the sanction had to come through. how could that effect pakistan's relationship with america with the united states? well, i think you'll be deaf now since the withdrawal from atlanta, some progress on has been expecting sanctions. this happened back when the soviets pulled out of the banners in the 1st line, ward pocket turned out the pressure grant and the amendment that shut down all of

our military assistance on foreign assistance. we've been through this once before, but the situation is very different. now now we have a very, very close relationship with china. the relationship with russia is growing. the relationship with central asian republics is also growing. so, and we cannot expect the u. s. to attempt to sanction parkerson and it's for the crippled market. anyway. yes, we will feel some bravo from it, but i think by this i will find a way out. i mean, the us obviously things that sanctions is the way to put political pressure on a country. is it the way to solve a political conflict? it is not boxed on as long as we are tired of the transaction relationship. we want more, a big given gate incentives given to us in trade, in the incentive given to us in energy so that we can work closely with united states and build a relationship right now. it is more of a chair and stick and sometimes to see more of a stick that it sees the garret size when you've been watching western coverage of

the ukraine conflict. what is your opinion? do you think it has glossed over the near nazi battalions at the heart of the ukrainian army or not the us? it's not just us western media as a whole has a relationship with turning a blind eye to. what does ally do or what its friends do? at the time, but they will allow things to happen that they normally wouldn't not allowed to happen if there was another country taking your ukraine and the neo nazis. but you can swing to india and look at how india has an increase in hinder rita and violence against muslims with the unity. this is very why they're not interested sanctions, they're not going to see russia, the indian government. it's the same thing we saw in syria. it's the same thing that we're now seeing in the, in the brain. so the u. s. policy has always been hypocritical, and that is been one of the reasons the u. s. is not been seen any success in for us in the last 20 years and moving forward. i mean, what other measures do you think you would try to impose if they come to the

realization that sanctions in fact don't work? i don't think the us has any other options. i mean this is, this is a driving test model for us. they will sanction you. they will put the blockades on you, they will, they will limit the things you can buy, the countries you can deal with at some point, as we've seen with there on the u. s. essentially for well over 30 years and the are, i mean timing is growing, the people are growing it. there's education flourishing. there's no problems in there. the problem is that box, i need to find a way to be stable itself economically. and that is where the biggest best for us is, and that's where we're leverage the most. because we need economic assistance here because of fail policy the past and, and many countries use that policy, the economics, the money to bring back on to its knees and force them to agree to policies that are against our national interest. and as you say, that doesn't work side highly mohammed and independent security analysts, analysts joining us. i'm isn't that. thank you so much for your insight and your

time now russia is not locking itself out of the world economy. it is adapting. that's the message from ministers. who recently dr. drew up an action plan to deal with unprecedented western financial pressure. ortiz, any of the printer, reports, credit rating agencies are showing no mercy, not only dumping rushes record, they're predicting the country will default on its sovereign debt. that is a full on economic fiasco. the c rating reflects fish's view that a sovereign default as imminent russians remember when it last happened very well in 1998. even i remember i was a kid back then. the panic and despair, the ruble ended up becoming 4 times cheaper versus the dollar. and so now, banking industry, behemoths, are drawing parallels to $998.00. but back then russia's post, soviet economy was in tatters. compare that to the state of it. now,

just as the 1st troops moved into ukraine, the central bank announced moscow's golden currency reserves. set a historic record and rose beyond $643000000000.00. in a nutshell, moscow's got the cash. it's the sanctions against the russian central bank that would hamper repayment dealer. basically, western countries have been waging economic war against russia for the last 2 weeks . the west declared default on its financial commitments to russia and put a freeze on our golden currency reserves. moscow's come up with a slick response by allowing the government and businesses to repay their foreign debts in roubles. now let's go back to 2014. when after crimea was rejoined with russia, agencies downgraded the country's ratings to plus moscow was forced to weather a sanctioned storm. never seen before. only a couple of years later though,

the russian economy was out of recession cammie, this positive pail winds, along with firming oil prices and growing macros stability, the russian economy return cannot as growth in 2017 plus the post crimea sanctions only led to a boost in a number of vital industries they were able to become independent and self sufficient. now guess what? the experience from 2014 really helped the country this time. the russians have been through it and they've had the time to prepare. these sanctions were expected . a variety of sanctions were thoroughly worked out and studied in advance. preparations were also made in advance to minimize the effects of the sanctions. now, i'm not trying to say russia become invincible. economy wise. the consequences are very serious. the national currency is at historic close, but for now the ministries and government branches responsible for finances are

holding on. plus, like after 2014 western sanctions are opening up new opportunities. ok, for example, visa mastercard have waved goodbye, but the result is trying his union pay system a warm welcome. rush is equivalent cold mayor. please joined the shop. as for the international business giants which have decided to leave russia, they must have raise their eyebrows after hearing this from latimer potent kids. for those who intend to shut down their production facilities here, we should act decisively and not in any way allow some kind of harm to the local russian providers of component materials. we need, as the prime minister has suggested to implement external control and hand these enterprises over to those who want to work. the mechanics of this potential partial take over our yet unclear but it's definitely a strong mess from poking to businesses that have joined the sanctions. this potential move has already been heavily criticized by the west. and if somebody in

europe thinks that russia is the only inevitable loser in this economic strife, they might as well have a look at their heating bells, war prices at the nearest gas station. well, that brings us to the end of the news for this. our stay tuned and will be back in 30 minutes. thank you for joining us. ah ah . oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer?

isolation community, are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. i think i'm going to with world is with you. i'm with you. i'm with

full credit. it's going to be out of wood from beach. all the still easy the station, but in the border with

a shape out becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is that conflict with the 1st law show your identification . we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to place trust rather than fear

a very job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with ah ah ah hello and welcome to cross top where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle. the crisis and ukraine has demonstrated just how fragile and out of bounds global security has become. instead of a calling for a cease fire and the escalation nato countries are doing everything in their power to prolong the conflict. this approach is turning ukraine into

a failed state. ah, cross talking the situation in ukraine. i'm joined by my guess. michael. my loop in washington, he's a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in new york. we have caleb mauppin . he is a journalist and political analyst. and in london, we crossed to adrenal con santa. he is founder of a k consulting and a foreign affairs analyst or a gentleman cross stock rolls in the fact that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate michael. let me go to 1st in washington here. as i said in my introduction here, i'm watching politicians, i'm watching a hysterical media here. they want to escalate to the people that know nothing about on a no fly zone or per are promoting it. this is absolutely insanity. and so instead of d escalating, trying to find solutions here, is there,

escalating it to where nato essentially going to be dragged into this. and.
