[000:00:00;00] ah ah, make her brakes its own wolf to allow cause for violence against russian soldiers amid the ukraine conflict with the instagram owner insisting the move won't be to innocent people being targeted. however, the u turn has already spoke to concerns that the un human rights office with faith, no such thing as fast tracking station you leaders respond to the ukranian president's bid to frantically join the block. and western countries skip up. they fight against ordinary russian citizens as the country musicians are now bought from international piano competitions. we get feedback on the russian public. we just wanted

a total special portfolio of 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 a kind of rocephin pierre and hysteria around the world. it's politics and politics shouldn't affect the lives of people with welcome to our international and policy with the team here in moscow, covering news and breaking developments. thank you so much for joining us. the 1st, let's have a look at the latest major developments on the situation in ukraine. russia's military state, it would observe and limited to sci fi on friday to allow civilians to evacuate through secure routes proposed by moscow. these are the key evacuation routes planned by the kremlin, the russian military ad that will unilaterally open the boots, leading eastward to russia every day, whether one octave agrees on thursday,

russia offered care to open as many as 14 car doors, or whether ukraine confirmed only 7 when operation and opposed the evacuation of civilians to russian territory. according to the united nations, 2 and a half 1000000 people have fled to crane since the last month. moscow says that kit has banned may of ukrainian cities from any humanitarian context with russia. adding that all those with no kids order on literally being shot washes, military early announced that the dentist, republics army had gained control of the city of warner. vladimir putin has green left the proposal to transfer military equipment captured from ukrainian forces to break away. don't mess public and at a meeting with his belly russian counterpart and said there are positive improvements and peace talks for the details coming up in the program. which cooper spectrum the social media giant matter has again,

broken its own rules to allow nationality based hate messages this time to support public court for violence against russian soldiers. the 3rd, which owns instagram, what's up and facebook when also reportedly, let's use this call for the death of the russian and below russian presidents. the movers shocked even the human human rights office, which says it will talk to the american multinational. and there's already been a massive online backlash. we don't allow hate speech except against certain people from a certain country. is one hell of a can of worms. when hate 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 call for violence against russians. and you can support the good nazis to the company came to the decision,

is temporary and comes in connection with russia. special operation in ukraine matter, well reportedly left. it's hate speech restrictions for uses only from some european states, including russia and ukraine. the tech giant, however insist that the decision is not aimed at inciting violence against ordinary people. it comes to weeks after mit established a special operation center in order to tackle hate speech on the platform and remove content that insights violence. yet it's policy you turn will allow at previously banned praise for kids near nazi as of battalion in quotes, in the context of defending ukraine. here's a look at the infamous militia group at the heart of the current fighting. ah

ah, independent journalist thomas hooper says tech giant simply mirror washington's foreign policy. well, there was this an old nice word for it. it's good squat racism. m. we can even call it fresh is nothing that national is when america to clear somebody, somebody in, in any me, 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 distribution, not commercial companies. these are instruments and, and now we have a radical, empty russian policy in the west of these companies. support this and facebook is just the most radical example is internet companies always care about politics and they always have the same opinion, like what the escalation is going on for you is shooting themselves with the sanctions. the russia, did you mom say it with own sanctions and they are already suffering in europe and

russia didn't even start to answer. and as don't see any way out of the, the escalation, again, facebook just again is escalating with this. and i see big agenda here, the escalation is wanted, nobody in the west is what this is wanting to talk. there is no debate that ukrainian refugee movement is described as one of the fastest and largest in recent years like human italian organizations. with most people fleeing to neighboring poland, polish authorities estimate that on average to ukrainians cross the border every 3 seconds. e officials have confirmed the blocks already received more than 2000000 people from ukraine, with germany. belgian moldova and other countries said to have been overwhelmed by the influx. many who have fled, say they fear for they family's lives. of the time, the shooting. we hear this would be afraid to we go to the give my family try to the europe. they shoot him out and we shouldn't get

ready, but by sort of or just things at a meeting with his bell russian counterpart, vladimir putin has noted positive changes in moscow. t of talks and agreement on evacuation. car doors has been a point of contention between cube and moscow since the 3rd round of bilateral talks last week, and recruiting president has repeatedly accused russia of not being a 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 next were public's army has taken control of the city of vulnerable in the site of intense fighting in recent days with civilians having found themselves caught in between the warring sides phone of the ha, if 60 kilometer from the city of dentist on march the 1st the russian and ukrainian sides agreed to open humanitarian corridors for civilians. though they still haven't managed to function as intended. an ot crew went to the city in question and talked 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 frond with intense fighting going on for days. the situation is changing every 10 minutes. mm oh, 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, cecilia just she said, i see 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 if you both just a day, a projectile peers to the roof where the kids bedroom is a move of sheer 3 of them and 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. can't agree to turn this country and people in to guinea pigs that was the damning indictment by rushes. you and envoy of the security council meeting convened by moscow, which says it has found documents showing biological weapons, weapons components were made in ukrainian laboratories with the funding from the united states. so am, again the billing, excuse me, at the time when the military, biological studies in the united states. we're come, we're, we're removed because of danger to the people. the key of authorities basically

agreed to make their country into an experimental platform and using their citizens as guinea pigs. these experiments were the potential risk for the entire country is something that went on for years. and we can see in this yet another confirmation of an extraordinary cynicism of key as mentors. hotel us all the time that they are very concerned by the fate of the crane and people. i would like to address my colleagues from europe separately. right next to the european union, you've had to an experimental platform for extremely dangerous biological trials. and we call upon you to think about a very real biological danger to the people in european countries, which can result from an uncontrolled spread of bio agents from ukraine, which, as we have seen with coven 19, is impossible to stop. and if there is such

a scenario than all europe will be covered by it, or from on what's been said at the un security council, am now joined by artes constantino voice called here in the studio. thank you so much for joining us. what were the highlights of the russian representative speech? yes, well, he definitely had some strong words for his american counterpart regarding the situation around purported by weapon activity of the united states and ukraine. and i have to tell you this mosque who has been accusing washington of funding and creating by weapon experiments in, in ukraine, and now the former soviet republics for years. but now this story has been traction after the start of the russian military campaign in ukraine. we know that of russia's defense ministry claim that had had captured documents proving that some disturbing experiments have been carried out in, in, in laboratories across across ukraine, including using some very dangerous pathogens. and this is also something that was

pointed by of iceland benz during this security council meeting. so these pathogens are anthrax play cholera back corona virus. and while, as moscow believes these were, these experiments were conducted with a purpose to see if these pathogens can be used in, in warfare. and moscow also believes that ukrainian scientist was, we're backed and financed by the u. s. government were looking into the possibility of using birds migrating between russia and ukraine to transmit the dangerous pathogens across, across this region. and russian military officials even went as far as to claim that there, there has been work under way to create by weapon that would target

a specific aspect group. so these are pretty serious allegations. and if true, a 4th, this amounts to the united states and ukraine violating the un resolution on prohibition of biological weapons. of course, washington and here for flat out deny these allegations. i were heard from the america representative to the united united nations that well, washington has nothing to do with the, you know, any sort of lab state and i run to not operate them. they do not possess or develop any sorts of biological weapons. she admitted though that the united states assisted the 20 government in some way, but it's purely about taking care of the health of the of comedy craniums. and that said, and then she actually devoted a small portion of her time to this issue of bio labs. and then she moved on to talking about what she believes are war, crimes and war atrocities carried out by the russian troops and cetera,

cetera. so we actually gathered a collection of statements, official statements, of the american officials and ukrainian officials regarding this issue. so that's true for no other reason than to be united states government does not own or operate biological laboratories in ukraine. full stop. russia has a history also with inventing outright lies like this, which is the suggestion that the united states has a chemical and biological weapons program or ukraine does that they're operating the glove illusion. we already quit people. i'm the president of an adequate country and adequate people and the father of 2 children and no one is developing any chemical or any of the weapons of mass destruction on our 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? well, i mean there's still confusion though, right? you just heard from victoria newland and secretary of state for political affairs. she said that, well, she admitted the fact that biological research facilities are present in ukraine and she voice concerns that, you know, russian forces may take over these. she called it hazardous materials in those labs . so we have some merigan officials who says that there are no labs, no by weapons, etc. and then there is another us official who says that there are actually facilities that have dangerous biological weapons. so it's kind of confusing. and then we have the training president, bladder was the lansky, who said that, you know, these labs have been around since the soviet era that they have no military dimension. that it's just purely about civil size. but we also know that there is

a us defense department program that was launched back in the 1990 s to secure the former soviet union weapons of mass destruction into redesign these facilities were by weapons were created in the soviet union into a peaceful endeavor, so i mean, if all those labs have been redesigned for peaceful purposes, then why would they be afraid so much that the russian troops would, you know, take hold of these facilities and there's not nothing there. and we also learned over the past 24 hours that the world health organization advised ukraine in the past to destroy high threat pathogen stored in the country is biological laboratories to prevent any potential spills that would spread disease among the population. so that's according to reuters. and of course this also raises another question of why someone would keep something contagious, dangerous something that would could trigger a mass disease outbreak in it, in a laboratory that in laboratories that were supposed to be only about civil science

. so again, there's a lot of confusion, lot of question and you know, every new official statement here it just brings more and more uncertainty. i guess . i think that's been more uncertain to me. also heard from the russian envoy there that this is just a small part of all the documents and the information that they have and that in the future they'll come and release more information as they finish analyzing more documents. ortiz constant roscoe, thank you so much for joining me in the studio live now to market god's fiche, who is in international affairs commentator. thank you very much for joining us. should the world set up and listen as russians? envoys stayed. ukrainians have been made to be guinea pigs in the us alleged biological experiments are certainly the, well, she said listen, it's not just about what the russians phased about was the fact reveal and the documentation which is in the possession of the russians and others shows very

clearly that there was an is alive, biological weapons program, established 11 cities in the ukraine is political pro, weapons program. and i mean totally new lens. cool. the biological research state your power denies exists. oh, well, the reality is this is by logical west warfare. and it's spread across georgia, ukraine and central asia, and these unaccounted for unsupervised internationally. biological weapons programs represent a clear and present danger to the region, the countries involved and the wider world, including the european mainland itself. and as such, they must be investigated. as you say, they are conflicting messages coming from washington, and actually ukraine as well. they deny biological weapons programs. they though the u. s. and the secretary of state has admitted so court with search facilities in the country. it that's the death doesn't it, that they're hiding something they are. i mean they're hiding the site,

but in 2005, they came to an agreement with the ukranian government all the time that they would establish these bio labs leased by weapons labs. each one of these 11 locations in ukraine with a budget of just to go on the $2000000.00 has been established by the black and beach corporations over a, an agreement in 20082012. the fact to then know now the question is, what we're going to do about it. the u. s. is clearly in breach of the biological weapons convention. and indeed ukraine, which prohibits the development of production. the stockpiling of these deadly dangerous diseases are undergoing experimentation at these locations. it's time that we activated article 6, which will never be activated over the biological weapons convention, which is state party. in this case, russia can bring the matter to the security council, which can agree to mount an investigation. and if the americans have nothing to

hide, why would they oppose such an investigation? yeah, certainly, that's the interesting question. to put it mildly, do you think that the international community is actually going to take heed of what the russian envoy has mentioned today? or do you think that it's going to be dismissed by the international community due to the unprecedented come and, and russian media storm? well, 1st off, it's not just the russian representative. the chinese representatives spoke of $300.00 such american labs spread across the world, including africa and asia. and if there is a, if the international community wants to stay alive as an actual community, it needs to get a handle on what is going on in its, in its location, at these places. it's no use the special community closing to these things because the things that are being developed could eliminate their countries if they release these packages that make the recent virus look like, like, like, like a cold. so really,

if the special quincy sits eyes the buyer and allows these things to be developed on the countries involved, that is committing a breach. not only a world security about security on its own population as to who should be answerable. how confident are you that puts a probe into the bio weapons development program? they came that have come forward. now. how confident are you that they will be this probe in ukraine? clearly that the u. s. will do everything it can to stop such a pro happening. it will be actually amazing as allies. they'll be trying to change the studies. i know just now they're talking about the completely irrelevant subjects of chemical weapons. now let's talk about those so that we don't talk about the bio labs, the biological warfare labs that are being found and exposed. i mean, us assumes that everyone are idiots. and the fact is that the population is be encouraged to think and very, very shallow motional terms about this entire issue of what we have is a matter of the utmost gravity and an investigation that if it doesn't happen,

we'll leave this as a danger to the planet door, that will be ongoing. we must get some control over the u. s. biological weapons, a worldwide military program. if we don't, we don't suffer. i mean, some harsh words there and quite a dramatic warning. thank you, marco garrick, international phase commentator for joining us here. on our tv appreciated. thank you. now ukraine's president has expressed frustration after a new lead as push back his bed too fast track membership of the block. and they won't, there is no such mechanism for rapid, efficient in place. can we open an accession 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 you crane the feeling that everything can happen overnight. the e. u is not ready for enlargement. it's decision as rooted in unanimity. meanwhile, there's been another blow to ukraine's aspirations to join nato after its chief ians sultan burg said membership is not feasible in the near future despite previous pledges. and it has been cleared for a long time that a membership of ukraine was not something that was imminent. or not, so something was relevant in the near future. natal welcomes ukraine's and george's euro atlantic aspirations for membership in they thought we agreed to day that these countries will become members of nato. we stand by her that the session we are supporting ukraine in your cris efforts to come closer to

a natal membership. needles door remains open. well, it's class live now political commentator john brickman, thank you very much for joining us here on our t. y nater t, changing its mind on ukraine's membership because of the danger of war. i mean, it's very political. they have pushed the canyons to a few do. first of all, induct in the idea that they might become soon member of nato. and to have use every negotiation with the dumbass regions and push them to that. and the italians, i believe that they were protected by nato. and when the invasion came on, the russian invasion or special operation, if you wish they were left. i mean, they did not send troops and they are not going to put them into nato. so i mean, ukrainians have been you know, use where you basically made a united states because there is no big difference between nato and the united

states as found in the war. again, sort of a cold war, gentle whole idea of pressure. when you pull the champions, i mean the west on the clean and at least been, you know, being the price for that. and then the outrages, in fact, people who claim that this is helping you train israel, critical because you send weapons. but the weapons i think, will give you fall into an ocean hands. danny has ever taken ukraine's assertion seriously or worthies. just enter upon us all along. so it was the beginning of the question. do you believe that nature has ever taken ukraine's a session seriously, or when it's into promises all along? all? no, no, they never do that seriously. well, if the russians hadn't done anything, they would have taken it seriously. it with the other states, but the russians have say, this is a red line and they don't, maybe they don't, was just a bluff. and you know, the action of the haitians have convinced nato that the russians mean what they say

. and one of the mean, what they say the russians natal doesn't want to go to all out war. i mean, you know, the secretary general, let's say they want to avoid the war. and what happens, we do me get in full on that cetera. it's all completely ridiculous because if you really want to have the thing and then they should give these plans to you, train them a lot in order to fight ocean planes. i don't know what that will do, but at least that will be something here. and they don't dare to do that. the chicken hawks, do you think the ukrainians were actually really expecting nato to come to their feet? i mean, what kind of reaction can we expect from ukrainian officials? well, that i don't know, i'm not in their mind. i suppose they did not expect not the day expect, by the way, the russian reaction they don't that they could, you know, maintain the status quo in the east and,

and keep on waiving the possibility of doing need to do the home depot, but not the expect the russian harrison, i didn't expect the rational action, the french in up the americans did a recently, at least, but they never took she easy. the americans to read or thinking seriously. and they go to the russians lately. all they should have sent her into train to face with the train and they didn't need of that train insightful hoping to lead the election . i mean, if you look at the situation where now, i mean i expected it as he said, do you think nature and the you are now more ready for dialogue with moscow? i don't know. i mean the dialogue was good. who does it in ski? i mean, it depends where the tendency to do, i think, is it in scale on his own and you came on their own would be certainly willing to come to terms with moscow because they had them. but i mean, it's

a cynical game of radio and maybe you do boozy, came into the system to fight without having them. john freshman, some really interesting observations there. let's wait and see how the story develops, political commentator, thank you so much for joining us here on ity. thank you very much for holding. now, always foreign ministry has issued a statement in russian to insist that all actions taken against moscow are aimed at officials and not the russian people. this comes as the turkish president criticizes the tax on russian citizens across the world, stating that no one deserves hatred or bullying. but it's precisely ordinary citizens that are now being attacked across europe in wales. the card of for la monica orchestra has removed, works by prominent russian composer, people try tchaikovsky in support of ukraine and aspiring russian musicians are no longer welcome at an international piano competition. meanwhile, a large valiant support of ayesha was held in the capital of the country about

katya on russia's southern border with the country's president. also taking part, we asked people in russia at south how they feel about the current situation holder for now 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 to? should 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. yeah, 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. if i bear in hysteria around the world,

maybe that's because now people live in the gadgets more turned. look around them, maybe think less and believe mass medium, all with a finish. 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, lucia, 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. ashley with the sanctions on scare me. we'll if through it and develop our own production really is it will do well that brings us to the end of the news for this august 18th, we'll be back in half an hour. thank you so much for joining us. ah

ah,
