responsible for the attack. and meanwhile, 6 western countries have accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine. u. k. is among the accuses saying, it's how strong evidence buddy me, person is behind those crimes. and that the international criminal court will make any final decisions from the claims present proof, and he's only pretending to be interested in peace. and joe biden, meanwhile, is also called body ma putin, a murderous dictator, an a pure dog. the criminal slammed those words as unacceptable and unforgivable russia accuses the west of pouring money and weapons in ukraine on those fueling the conflicts. now, sanctions designed to punish russia for his actions in ukraine are beginning to hurt elsewhere to moscow. as begun to retaliate against the west. the measures by butting the exports of more than 200 items. what it calls unfriendly states us consumers are among those feeling. the economic consequences of the anti russian sanctions, the bottom russian energy imports,

the president biden announced on march the 8th is making gasoline prices rise along with the cost of living in general. so types come on top of the existing inflation problem, which the biden administration's been struggling with for months. the international energy agency warned that russia could be forced to cut crude production by nearly a 3rd starting next month. trade is reportedly be looked into by oil from the country, midwest and sanctions, which is threatening to create a global supply shock. consumer price inflation in europe is seeing its fastest annual jump on record that's according to the europe, the euro start statistics agency. the highest spikes were recorded in the energy sector followed by food, alcohol, and other goods. fuel prices at the pumps of nearly doubled in march next spring. war and things are only going to get worse. now in a bit to mitigate the impacts on consumers, the e. u has now agreed to subsidize households and companies hit hardest by thus spike

in energy costs. but people are still suffering in spain. for example, soaring fuel prices of force, fishermen keep their boats fermi. more import be especially my not this week. we have already decided to stop because there has been another increase in the price of fuel, which means that we practically would have had to take money out of our pockets to go to work with other but not for them. because we cannot put the cost of going to see on to the price of the fish, because we depend on an auction when we arrive at port. we sell the fish as an auction, which is a downside, as we cannot increase any kind of price for the fish we sell. therefore, where the diesel is cheaper expensive, it will not be affected in the final price, the shrimp, or fish that we catch. with more now and how those crippling sanctions on russia being felt in pockets much further afield is, shall davinsky. the west has repeatedly said is not at war with russia.

and i guess we are not waging war against russia off europe today, but we support the grain. we are not part of this conflict. nato is not seeking a war with russia. and we are not interested in getting into world war 3 in a conventional military sense. such as on the ground that is exactly true. but unlike the war 5 that is unfolding in ukraine at the moment with fruit and soldiers, war doesn't have to be full like batch these days into a new dimension in warfare. crippling economic sanction. the goal is to maximize the impact on food and russia and minimize and harm on us. and our allies and friends around the world are interested in maintaining the strongest unified economic impact campaign that food and all history. and i think we're well on the way to doing that. ok. so waging economic sanctions isn't exactly

a new idea. in fact, us president woodrow wilson once described treasures as being more tremendous than war. a nation that is boycotted as a nation that is inside of surrender, apply this economic peaceful, silent, deadly remedy. and there will be no need for force. it is a terrible remedy. it does not cost a life outside the nation boycotted, but it brings a pressure upon the nation, which in my judgment, no modern nation could resist. what's different this time around is the unprecedented nature of the meshes. western countries have led all hell break loose as russian banks have been cut off from the international systems. big businesses have withdrawn from trading in russia and the rubel has news dived. and in this new battlefield, everyone is feeling the sharp end of these economic weapons. certainly ordinary people primarily suffer, but we all are on the ship together. it's a common responsibility. these sanctions are not reasonable. the matter should have

been tackled through negotiations. anyway, we've already been there in 2014 and back then we managed to handle it. yeah, i guess this time around we will get through with even more success the booth bushing. of course there will be arise in prices. however, we shouldn't make a drama out of it. you know, i'm 82. i've been through so much. good. i remember postwar times, so now i'm reassuring all my loved ones with the main thing is that we have our country sanctions for a long time have been viewed as a non violent strategy to deal with a whole host of threatening actions. but the economic impact of those, some experts say, isn't that different to a physical conflict, both in the underlying goals and in their effects on civilian society, immigration, starvation, disease, bankruptcy. these approaches to sanctions come produce measures whose function and

consequences are identical to war. what's interesting though about economic sanctions is that the impact can have a strong blow back. russia is one of the world's top 3 oil producing states, sanctions and companies refusals to do business with it. and now curtailing oil supplies, pushing the price up at the pump across the world. and for the us sanctions could see the door let take a dive, established as the world's foremost reserve currency in 1944, it's long being seen as a safe bet. many sovereigns, including u. s. a line countries have realised owning massive amounts of dollars lead to an illusion of stability. in any moment, a political decision could lead to that dollar reserve being frozen or seized. the big winner from all of this is likely to be the chinese you one. but of that current sees may also get a boost. russia and india are looking at a ruble,

repeat trade agreement. the ruby is gaining traction elsewhere to, to my and my government intends to initiate similar currency convert ability for the indian repeat for trade along the border. it says with india, such changes may see countries reduce dependency on the greenback. its success since the 2nd world war has been based on these foundations of its credibility. if that's lost, then it could crumble solid even sky r t. paris. now, asia's funding is not immune from the ripple effects of the sanctions on russia, either with skyrocket in oil prices along with fuel and coal shortages with more knots. his art sees roman coarser if the global u. s. lead sanctions war against russia is claiming victims that have nothing to do with moscow or key of asian countries are halfway around the world from ukraine.

and some have not even answered this sanction russia debates, but are still starting to feel the pinch. let's take the at, ma'am, one of the continents major economic forces. there people will now have to pay more for air travel because of rising oil prices. that and power plants are also facing shortage of coal supplies. because fuel is so expensive, team port for a country heavily reliant on coal to feed its economy and its people that's a big below. and even simpler, businesses like those in the fruit and vegetable industry, are also affected by the sanctions. international logistics firms were unable to receive goods, while flights to russia limited orders are delayed and payments are impossible. over in japan, a country that stands with the united states and it's an to rush economic endeavors . the landscape is just as bleak. a recent poll showed that almost 70 percent of

for japanese companies estimate their earnings will fall. energy prices are also expected to spike and supply chain disruptions are also on the cards. the situation has already got to such a low point that the government has said it will have to step in. will need to take further steps all available measures to protect the economy in people's livelihoods, if the spike and prices continues. also take one of the world's most successful economies. singapore is been praised by economists, politicians, and everyday people. in this then age. however, the rich might still get richer by that said, not the case for a regular guys who have found themselves out of pocket. the fact of the matter is that the common man is bearing the brunt of cost of living pressures. the taxi drivers, the pri, with higher drivers, the bus operators are suffering because of the fuel price increases. our citizens are, workers are also telling me very clearly that chicken prices have gone up. act prices

have gone up. now over to the pearl of the indian ocean sri lanka, out of control price is there have already sparked mass protests on the streets. and the government is already calling on people to conserve fuel and electricity. while the president is appealing to the international monetary fund. for a helping hand, by limiting the use of fuel electricity as much as possible the citizens to can extend their support to the country at this time. i hope that you will understand the responsibility lies with you at this challenging time. so where does all this lead in this global age? there is no such thing as containing el local fallout. we can already see the short term consequences around the globe. sanctions against russia began a long time ago and only intensified in the last 3 weeks since moscow began its military operation in ukraine. but it looks like those who set up the economic battlefield against the kremlin will stop at nothing. even the well being of those

who live thousands of kilometres away from moscow or keith. while introducing ukraine's president to the u. s. congress. house speaker, nancy pelosi and vote to the cry: glory to ukraine membership congress. i have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you, the president of ukraine, vladimir zalinski, flava o crana. i think you just heard translates as glory to ukraine and glory to the heroes. keith slogans of nationalist group such as the right sector since the rising 2014. it must be said that these days though most ukrainians do associate the phrase with a sense of resistance. but still it's routes lie in the 1st half of the 20th century, most notably with an organization headed by stefan but dera, notorious nazi collaborator. and you can see 40 chair from previous rallies

organized by the rise sector to mark his birthday. to demonstrate quotes, the strength of ukrainian nation, that doesn't seem to bother nancy pelosi, despite previously declaring white supremacy to be america's biggest terrorism concern. white supremacy is the biggest bucket of concern when it comes to good mastic terrorism. xenophobia. white supremacy and availability of guns are in explosive combination that we must disconnect and will working now on a resolution at a see how when we bring it to the floor or that will again speak out against anti semitism. anti islam of phobia, anti white supremacy, and all the forms that it takes and that a country has no place for this. well russia analyst martin mccauley field support

for extreme misstatements comes from a lack of understanding of historical context or nancy in the past has tended to say things witcher afterwards on reflection were not very advisable. oh, rather stream. or because she doesn't have that type of historical and political background. ah, to really be aware what ways both the impact and the meeting of some of the expectations is some of the things you chaise because she doesn't seem to have his background drawn. and she's to be very americans are who know very little history and in the university european history. and definitely make statements, which is basically based on american experience. but they're aware that she lays are offensive and out of place to none americans and europeans.

most people trapped in the rubble of a theatre that was bombed him out. you people have survived. that's according to the advisor, the ukrainian interior ministry. yet it is so far, no further information come. people can be provided on the casualties that the rescue operation is still on the way. according to the cities, deputy may of the 1200 people had been seeking refuge in the theater. as a thursday, around 130 people had been rescued from the rubble, ukrainian authorities did confirm. sky of has accused russian forces of deliberately shilling the building. but moscow rejects the claims saying a far right ukrainian military battalion was responsible ortiz, maria fin option, or has more we have been indeed receiving conflicting reports on exactly what happened in mario pulse theater. but important is that accusation started before any official verification. ukraine's president followed emer zalinski shortly after

the news emerged accused moscow using aeroplanes to deliberately target they building of the theatre invariable with quote, super power bombs. and he also added again before any very fight information on casualties that he's hard brakes to see what russia does. ukraine's foreign minister used even stronger words to call calling to stop rushes. military criminals. meanwhile moscow called it all a lie. russia's defense ministry reported that aviation didn't complete any mission, didn't have any tasks on that day in or around mary opal. and they also reported that ukraine's nationalist battalion of as of turned the building of the theater in mary, you pull into their base, used civilians as the human shields and blew the building up our before leaving to later blame a rush, a local residence. those who managed to escape the besieged city. talk about the

same. let's take a listen. no, we were told that russian forces who were clearing the city and that we should leave the bomb shelter. we had to get to another point and suit with our small children. everything was on fire and there were no road. so we had to walk through areas that were being showed as elf managers who are hiding behind us all the way to the point using us as a human shield. they kept us in a basement for 15 days with no one allowed to go out. children were crying and there was no water, no food or shops near by. malicious, put their tanks in the area and we hid because we didn't want to be shot. and when they decided to leave the theater, they just blew it up. while the fact is that the theater in mary apple was destroyed, but who did this and even anyone got hurt, we still continue receiving conflicting reports on that. and there is no information at this point that could be immediately or independently verified.

maria pull as been under relentless bombardment since russian troops surrounded it on march. the 2nd, the russian defense ministry says the city is occupied by ukrainian extremists and local authorities have said that around 90 percent of the cities buildings have been damaged. on monday rushes that it had since 450 tons of medicine, food, an essential supplies to multiple and up to 400000 people are still full to remain without drinking water, food, or medicine. many a trying to flee the water city using a humanitarian cardoza's, upper osha, which was opened about 3 days ago. according to the city authorities, as many as 30000 people managed to escape through the route so far using personal vehicles. those fleeing told us what they had gone through. we were in the cellar for almost a week, did not try to get out. strikes were so hard that it was impossible to go outside. now a large flow of people will go through the corridors. it will only increase. there

is no city there any more. there are no means of communication or radio in the cellar. there was no water. absolutely nothing where we saw the dough nets at people's army. they kept open the corridor. the evacuation was organized centrally shows, soldiers of the ukrainian army were standing on the highway in front of everyone and putting on civilian clothes in order to join the column. it is pure luck that we got out of mary. you, paul. we rushed out of the seller at our own risk. as soon as we left the city, we saw the genetic people's army. children and women were placed in buses. i know nothing about the men who heard it. them. soldiers of the ukrainian army were very violent. people were taken hostage they did as let us out, just to hide behind our backs view and says that the total of more than $3000000.00 refugees have now fled ukraine. since the start of the conflicts, almost the 3rd, the demo scape, the neighboring poland, which has led to the countries the public services being overwhelmed. thousands of people also play the hungry slovakia,

romania and over. the refugee influx is seen by humanitarians as the worst in europe's history. alpha ly. if a more on this we can go live now the human and labor rights lawyer done cover late done welcome to the program. now, when urged western countries to put the same efforts they're making with ukraine into solving or the refugee crisis in the world, what do you make that call? well, i obviously support that because we don't see that happening. if you look at the u . s, for example, the abide and joe biden has been sending record numbers of haitians. back to haiti is trying to keep out latin. americans try to cross the border here and there seems to be a real disc retreatment of immigrants from africa in the middle east to try to get into europe as opposed to ukrainians who seem to be welcome and the others seem to be less so. now,

sticking with the un ukraine crisis did say that the ukraine crisis might be a chance to shift away from toxic narratives towards refugees. do you think this is an opportunity to do so? and do you think that western countries will be able to shift away from what the you and that's called the toxic narrative. i would like to think that, of course, and i'd also like to think it would shift away from, you know, people supporting aggressive war. but the thing is, it seems like there's a double standard when it comes to people who were attacked to blonde hair and blue eyes as opposed other people. and that's the sad reality. but look, i hope so. i hope that could be true, that people would look at all the refugees the same and say, look, if we accept ukrainians, we should accept everyone else. well, i know you've already just touched on this. and quite clearly, the humanitarian crises in yemen, serial african is done,

haven't gone anywhere. but there seems to be received little attention in the you, if the case of not on our doorstep. so not a problem. and do you think that maybe in lights of ukraine, maybe these are the crises, will start receiving more attention again, i would like to believe that, but i don't think so because it's not just about not in our doorstep, not a problem. that is one thing. but i think the other thing is that it's, you know, the western countries that are causing the crises in countries like am in syria, palestine. and given that they look the other way. right? so they don't view their own crimes against countries like that. as a problem, they, they want to point the finger at russia for their actions in ukraine without seeing their own, frankly, worst crimes as a problem. so i, i'm afraid it won't change, but look, i think it's their goal, of course to,

to treat all those things equally. so do you see this is sort of virtue signaling against russia that these doors have been opened widely, so ukrainian refugees where back in 2015. there was a huge debate about how many refugees, european states could take from syria. and i'm going to stop for example. yeah, of course that's the case. you know, it goes back to wit noam chomsky and edward harmond talked about in manufacturing consent, worthy victims and unworthy victims. the worthy victims are those of our enemies. right. and the unworthy victims are the victims that the west causes, those are the people we ignore and may be even vilify, right. and so we see this double standard time. and again, we're talking which poland seems to be a particular example. because when it comes to last year's border crisis, the just less than a few 1000 refugees from iraq into the nations. and now it's,

you know, welcome in, you know, many more ukrainian refuge refugees. how do you, how do you view this? yeah, i view it in the same way again, it's about one welcoming people who seem to be worthy victims because they're being victimized by the adversary of poland, in this case, russia but also welcoming in people who look like themselves. let's face it as opposed to people with darker skin. i mean name there seems to be a lot racial changed on this one. i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there, but thank you very much for your input today. done. coverlet human and labor rights . lawyer, thank you. thank. thank you very much. mounting pressure on russia has also been felt in the u. n. where moscow's now council devotes on his humanitarian resolution on ukraine, which had been slammed by opponents as fossil the bushes on bus added to the un

confirmed devotes had been shelved, although not withdrawn due to unprecedented pressure from member states you case and boy of un, cold the document cynical for making no mention of russians role in the conflict over the resolution is pun, to be put to vote next week in the 193 nation general. assembly rushes foreign ministry spokesman murray as a carnival, has accused a popular italian newspaper of prejudiced prejudice that's after last stump as front page on wednesday showed the aftermath of a missile strike on the city of done yet. according to the diplomats of the daily past. off the victims of that recent attack as death resulting from russia's military offensive. now the image shows scattered bodies and grieving people in done yet with the headline quote, those kiev is facing a final assault. the car of accused the publication of falsification as it was in the ukrainian capital in the photo. the recent mythos strike in the done yet republic killed 21 civilians. local authorities blamed ukrainian armed forces

saying they used cluster munitions, illegal, and international law if used indiscriminately. ukraine denies the allegations on that newspaper headline comes on top of a string of accusations of misinformation around the war in ukraine. moscow recently how to refute allegations by the u. s. embassy of its involvement in the shelling of ukrainian citizens in the northern city of shenika to negotiate liberals worship near below, the russian armed forces units in the area are now outside china, him blocking roads with no offensive against the city being waged. the footage is spread by the ukrainian propaganda machine gun shows no traces of any exploded munitions. all the windows in the adjacent buildings are intact. there are no signs of damage on the walls or traces of explosion on the land. thus, all those who have been killed, the victims of ukrainian nationalists and these images a yet another example of events staged by ukraine security forces. while that st,
