ah, ah, the cables dorothy is basically agreed to turn the country into an experimental platform and uses citizens as guinea pigs. damning indictment by russia's un envoy at a security council meeting convened by moscow, which says it has found documents showing biological weapons components were made in ukrainian. the boy priest with funding from the united states that questioned all of europe. net or breaks its own rules to allow cause for violence against russian soldiers, and that the ukraine conflict with the instagram owner insisting the move won't lead to innocent people being targeted. however, that you turn has already sparked concerns that the un human rights office there is no such thing as fast tracking. efficient leaders respond to the ukranian president's bid to frankly join the block.

ah hello and welcome to international. my name's paula sneer, and we're coming to you from moscow way. me and the team will keep you abreast of developments. thanks for joining us. but let's 1st have a look at the latest major developments on the situation in ukraine. russia's military state, it would observe limited sci fi on friday to allow civilians to evacuate to secure woods proposed by moscow. these are the key evacuation routes planned by the criminal and the russian military ad that will unilaterally open the roots, leading eastwood to russia every day. whether or not king of agrees on thursday, russia offered to open as many as 14 corridors. however, you claim 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 said ukraine since the conflict erected last month. says that kid has band mayors of ukrainian cities from any humanitarian context with russia. adding that all those who ignore kids order are literally being shot. rushes military earlier announced that that the next republic army had gained control of the city of warner flooding putin has green left the proposal to transfer military equipment captured from ukrainian forces to the breakaway, done best for public ended meeting with his russian counterpart. who should say positive improvement in peacefulness to you for the details coming up in the program, i'm going to. woodson have agreed to turn in the country and people into guinea pigs that was the damning indictment by russia. you and envoy at a security council meeting convened by moscow, which says it had found documents showing biological weapons components were made in ukraine in the bar trees, with funding from the united states. so

a mclaughlin in the village, his lead only did another time when military biological studies in the united states were removed because of their danger to people. the cable thirties basically agreed to turn the country into an experimental platform and used as citizens as guinea pigs. these experiments were potential risks for the entire country. something went on for years, and we can see that yet another confirmation of the extraordinary cynicism of key is mentally who tell us all the time that they are very concerned about the fate of the ukrainian people. i would like to address my colleagues from europe separately, right next to europe. you've had an experimental platform for extremely dangerous biological trials. and we call on you to think about the very real biological danger to the people in european countries, which can result from the uncontrolled spread of the biological agents from ukraine, which as we have seen with covey 19, is impossible to stop. and if this such a scenario than all europe will be covered by it,

moscow has been accusing washington of funding and curating by weapon. i experiments in, in ukraine, and now the former soviet republics for years. but now, ah, this story has gained traction after the started the russian military campaign in ukraine. we know that russia's defense ministry claim that it had captured documents. proving that some disturbing experiments have been carried out in, in, in, in laboratories across across ukraine, including using some very dangerous pathogens. and this is also something that was pointed by iceland benzo during this sa security council meeting. while as moscow believes these work, these experiments were conducted with a purpose to see if these pathogens can be used in, in warfare. and our moscow also believes dad ukrainian scientist, i was shock, we're backed and financed by the u. s. government ah, were looking into the possibility of using birds migrating between russia and

ukraine to transmit this 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 grips of these are pretty serious allegations. and if true, of course, this amounts to the united states and ukraine violating the un resolution on prohibition of biological weapon scores. washington m key, if flat out deny these allegations were heard from the america representative to the united to the added nations that well, washington has nothing to do with the, you know, any sort of lab state in our run to not operate them. there are no ukrainian biological weapons laboratories supported by the united states, not near russia's border or anywhere the united states government does not own

or operate biological laboratories in ukraine. full stop, russia has a history also. it was 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 are operating medical illusion. we are adequate 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 of 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, they're still confusion though. right? you just heard from victoria newland under 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 . we have some merigan officials who says that there are no labs and so it's kind of confusing. and we also learned over the past 24 hours that the world health organization advised ukraine in the past to destroy high thrive pathogen stored in the countries biological laboratories. to prevent any potential spells that would spread disease among the populations and 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 the 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 just brings more and more uncertainty. i guess

international affairs commentator marker gases believes the matter has to be investigated on an international level. totally new. let us call that my logical research denies exists. oh, well the reality is this is wes warfare and it's spread across georgia, ukraine and central asia and these unaccounted for unsupervised internationally. biological weapons programs are present 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. the u. s. is clearly in reach of biological weapons conventions. and indeed, ukraine, which prohibits the development, the 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 all the biological weapons convention, which is

a 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? moving to another story where we're based here and our t social media giant mentors, again broken its own rules to allow nationality based hate messages. this time to support public court for violence against russian soldiers, the firm which own instagram, what's up and facebook. when also reported the net uses call for the death of the russian and bill of russian presidents. the move has shocked even the you and 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 canes. the decision is temporary and comes in connection with russia. special operation in ukraine. metal will reportedly lift its hate speech restrictions for uses only from some european states, including russia and ukraine. the tech giant, however insist the decision is not aimed at inciting violence against ordinary people. it comes 2 weeks after matter 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 also allow privacy band praise for kids in the nazi as of a battalion quote in the context of defending ukraine. here's

a look at the infamous militia group at the heart of the common fighting. ah, you tube has announced it has started blocking russian state media channels across the globe. independent journalists, thomas rooper, says tech giants are simply mirroring washington's foreign policy. well, there with this an old nice word for it. it's good scott, racism. we can even call it fresh is nothing that national is 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 distribution of commercial companies. these are instruments and,

and now we have a radical, i'm to rush 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 man say it with when sanctions and they are already suffering in europe and russia didn't even start to answer. and i don't see any way out of the, the escalation, again, facebook just again is escalating with this. and i see a big agenda here. the escalation is wanted, nobody in the west is what this is wanting to talk. there is no debate. the ukrainian refugee movement is described as one of the fastest and largest in recent years by human to humanitarian organizations. with most fleeing to neighboring poland, polish authorities estimate that on average to ukrainians cross the border every 3 seconds. e officials have concerned the blocks awaiting, received more than 2000000 people from ukraine, which germany, belgium, moldova,

and other countries say to have been overwhelmed by the influx. many who have fled, se they fear, for their families lives of the time, the shooting. we hear this will be afraid to we go to the keep my family try to the europe, they fruit and our insurance was ready, but place live or just things are at a meeting with his bell. russian counterpart vladimir putin has noted positive changes in moscow, key of talks and agreement on evacuation. car doors has been a point of contention between kia and moscow since the 3rd round of bilateral talks last week. and queens president has repeatedly accused russia of not obeying a sci fi a deal for civilian safe stones. moscow and turn says it's kids. that's been deliberately preventing people from fling rushes military has announced that the

knit republics army has taken control of the city of villa nova, half the site of intense fighting in recent days with civilians having found themselves caught in between the warring sides. von nova ha! is 60 kilometer from the city of the next a 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 rti crew went to the city in question and talked to locals, who have had to hide in basements. ah lava is a small town of $20000.00 inhabitants. it's turned into one of the hottest spots on the dawn of us front. wouldn't and fighting go in on sundays. the situation is changing every 10 minutes. mm.

oh, the elderly women and children have been trapped and damp basements for more than a week now. mm. mm. the don't ask republics, forces share food and medicine. ah, cecilia. just she did a hosted elsewhere, relatively bald 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 to day a projectile peers to the roof where the kids bedroom easier. 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 are going to get people out. but now they just shoot. and that said, we're sitting here and we are afraid to leave me. a french president, mangum. a kron has given a news conference at an e u summit, which pushed back on ukrainian. nita vladimir zalinski is plea for membership of

the block ortiz. charlotte to ben sky has more. well, this was a somebody that they saw that had been organized with you leaders to meet as well as those leaders from european commission. and what they discussed at that press conference was that the russian attacking ukraine was a wakeup call for the block, a turning point in history. and they said it meant that the e u has taken much more muscular approach when it comes to in securing it. security now the leaders signed often and expanded spending package to this scene weapons at funded by the e already being sent to ukraine and they described russia's actions in ukraine as a turning point and forsaken again. if any one thought war in europe belong to history, we have c putin bring it back loaded always. it's a tragic turning point in history. our societies and our european project. we have responded through unity choices taken very quickly for 2 weeks. ukrainians have

been fighting to defend their freedom. europeans condemned the actions of russia. another big announcement from this summit was the call that from ukraine for this special fast tracked admission to the e. u. isn't something that they can green like need is made it clear that ukraine will not receive any special dispensation when it comes to membership. and 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 ukraine the feeling that everything can happen over night. the e u is not ready for enlargement. it's decision as rooted in unanimity. lots of woods coming in that press conference from van de leon from the commission

president from paris macklin also a from show shell as well that ukraine is a member of the european family is saying the path is of bring to membership, but you know, that comes with quite a few tools is and these are really, really big tools as potential members pools european union have to implement a catalogue of lindsey reforms to make sure that they come up to you repeat news. so while ukraine has now had his application to just be a candidate, the you accepted, it really does join a very long q to give you a sense of that turkey i applied for its candidacy back in 1987 that's 25 years ago. and it's still nowhere near likely to be a member of the block. meanwhile, there's been another blow to ukraine's aspirations to join nato. after its chief young fulton, the 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 needs, a welcomes, ukraine's and george's euro, atlantic aspirations for membership in nato. we agree to day that these countries will become members of nato. we stand by her, that the session we are supporting ukraine in you, chris efforts to come closer to natal membership goals door remains open. elliptical commentators on brickman to beneath ukraine has been used by nita. 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 the push them

to that. and you came in. so i believe that they were predicted by nato. and when the invasion came of the russian invasion or special operation, if you wish that they were left, i mean, they did not send troops and they are not going to put them in. do need to. so i mean you shane guns have been you know, use where you basically radio united states because there is no big difference between the 2 in the united states as found in the war. again, no sort of a general idea of pressure. when you pull champions, i mean the west only thing, at least been you know, in the price for that. and i think the outrages interact with people who claim that this is helping you train you struggling for critical because you send weapons, but the weapons i didn't have you fall into the hands. washington's envoy to the united nations has accused russia of war crimes saying it targeted civilians in

ukraine. this is the 1st and direct fact accusation from a u. s. official which follows the ambassadors earlier. comments on allegations bought against moscow. any attack on civilians is a war crime and we're working with partners to collect and provide information on this. i must always deny a targeting civilians stressing it strikes only military targets and rushes foreign minister notes war crimes claims from the west are remarkably hypocritical. so you say you're going to be more it is and isn't that she's the united states and its allies are directly responsible for multiple violations of human rights. and international humanitarian law is guilty of crimes which hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in yugoslavia, iraq, libya of ghana stem cell victims to once again demonstrating double standards of both the common came in regards to was conducted by the united states and its

allies. that includes the 1990, non nato bombings of yugoslavia where around $500.00 civilians were killed by the strikes. according to human rights watch. the us invasion of iraq from 2003 came some, 200000 civilian live according to the iraq body come projects and around 70000 civilians were killed during the 2 decades nato campaign in afghanistan. among the last to die were 10 civilians including 7 children in a pentagon, drones strike on comple in august, with no one held accountable. a political science lecturer told us washington makes human wife canes against others, that it refuses to apply to itself. we all remember the various walls that have been waged by nato, all by nato states. yugoslavia 1999 libya, 2011 iraq by britain and america in 23. the west is made all kinds of allegations against russia in particular that you know,

this is the worst war in europe since 1945, they've simply forgotten or chosen to forget their own military operations, both in 1995 against the bosnian serbs. and then of course, in 1999 against yugoslavia, both of those took place in europe while america refuses a jurisdiction for itself. it has a roving ambassador and an office for human rights violations. which indeed requires that other countries be subjected to this same human rights jurisdiction which it refuses. so this policy goes back a long time long before the ukraine war and always foreign ministry has issued a statement in russian to insist. all actions taken against moscow are aimed at officials and not the russian people. it comes as the turkish president, criticized as a tax on russian citizens across the world, stating that no one deserves hatred or bowling. but it's precisely ordinary

citizens who are now being attacked across europe in wales. the card philip monica orchestra has removed, works by prominent russian composer pito tchaikovsky in support of ukraine and aspiring russian musicians are no longer welcome at an international piano competition. meanwhile, a large valley in support of russia was held in the capital of the country of a pies, yet on russia's southern border with the country's president. also taking part, we are people here in russia itself, how they feel about the common situation. when they're 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 better for you? i understand that the decision to start, the operation was hard, but it was the only way possible. therefore, i support it. 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 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 or the 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. any of them? words do, should they think they'll choke us with sanctions? ukulele chief, nothing. so wholesale said i placed 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 and scare me, we'll if through it and develop our own production really is it will do moving now to pakistan where the u. s. is looking to sanction is lumbered in

a move widely seen as punishment for pakistan's refusal to take an openly hostile stance against russia. the stop in pakistani terror act cleans the real reason for the plan restrictions is because the country best international terrorism. if introduce the u. s, will cut military.
