[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, sanctions begin to bite against russia people in europe feel the pinch too with the cost of living soaring and x was warned. the worst is yet to come on the impacts being felt half way around the world as well with asian countries which aren't even part of the sanction. russia bush being hit in the pockets and variable officials say 30000 people have managed to flee the city. the us after safety route was open several days ago. over $400000.00 resident are still believe to be lacking even basic supplies. 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.
11:01 pm
it is pure luck that we got out of mary. we rushed out of the seller at our own risk. ah. coming to live from our headquarters here in moscow. you're watching archie internationally. she's gone 6 am here in the russian capital. my name is peter scott and welcome to the program. now we start off with the latest on ukraine in the city of mario paul survivors have emerged from a shelter in a theater. after it was hit by a bomb, russia denies it was responsible for the attack. meanwhile, 6 western countries have accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine. the u . k. is among the accuses saying it has strong evidence for them. a person is behind those crimes. and that the international criminal court will make any final decisions. france claims president putin is only pretending to be interested in
11:02 pm
peace negotiations. well, joe biden is also called the med in a murderous dictator. an appeal thought the criminal slammed those words in as unacceptable and unforgivable research uses the west of pouring money and weapons in ukraine and those fueling the conflicts. now, sanctions designed to punish russia for his actions in ukraine are beginning to hurt elsewhere to moscow. begin to retaliate against the western measures by burning the exports of more than $200.00 items to what they calls unfriendly states . u. s. consumers are among those feeling the economic consequences of the anti russian sanctions. the ban on russian energy import, the president biden announced on march the 8th is making gasoline prices rise along with the cost of living in general. so chinese come on top of the existing inflation problem, which the binding ministrations been starving with the months. meanwhile,
11:03 pm
consumer price inflation in europe is seeing its fast this annual jump on record. according to the euro stopped statistics agency, the highest spike recorded in the energy sector followed by food, alcohol, and other goods fuel prices. the pumps have nearly doubled in march on experts warn the things are only going to get worse. now it's predicted that russia could be forced to cut crude production by nearly a 3rd threatening, a global oil supply shock. u. k. also failed to get middle east for juices to increase supplies in a bits and gets mitigate to some of the impacts that use agreed to subsidize households on companies hits hardest by those spiking energy costs. nevertheless, in spain, soaring fuel prices of force, fishermen to keep their boats firmly more import. yes, i say 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 without development, not for them,
11:04 pm
but we cannot put the cost of going to say 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 on how those criplin sanctions on russia are being felt in pockets much further afield. his charlotte davinsky, the west has repeatedly said it's not at war with russia. when susan penn, again, we are not waging a war against russia ass europeans to day, but we support ukraine. we arnold 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 boots on the ground, that is exactly true. but unlike the warfare that is unfolding in ukraine at the moment with troops and soldiers,
11:05 pm
war doesn't have to be full like that these days into a new dimension in warfare. crippling economic sanctions. the goal was to maximize the impact on prudence and russia, and minimize the harm on us and our allies and friends around the world are interested to maintain the strongest unified economic impact campaign on food and all history. and i think we're wrong weren't doing that. okay, so waiting economic sanctions isn't exactly a new idea. in fact, us president woodrow wilson once described such measures as being more tremendous than war. a nation that is boycotted as a nation that is in sight 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,
11:06 pm
no modern nation could resist. what's different this time around is the unprecedented nature of the meshes. western countries have let all hell break loose is russian banks have been cut off from the international systems. big businesses have withdrawn from trading in russia and the rubel has nose dived. and in this new battle field, everyone is feeling the shock bend of these economic weapons. sinister, 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. 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
11:07 pm
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
11:08 pm
sanctions could see the door let take a dive established as the wills full most 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 other current sees may also get a big st. russia and india are looking at a ruble, repeat trade agreement. the re, p is gaining traction elsewhere to the my and my government intends to initiate. similar currency converts, ability for the indian, repeat a 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
11:09 pm
these foundations of its credibility. if that's lost, then it could crumble solid even sky r t. paris lasers funds is not immune from the ripple effects of the sanctions on russia either with skyrocket in oil prices. along with fuel on coal shortages, with more knots, his art sees roman cost or 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 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 to import for
11:10 pm
a country having to rely on coal to feed its economy and its people. that's a big blow. 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 borders 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 off 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 and people's livelihoods,
11:11 pm
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 day and age. however, the rich might still get richer. but that's 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
11:12 pm
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 kilometers away from moscow or key if all introducing ukraine's president to the u. s. congress. house b, can nancy pelosi invoke the cry, glory to ukraine membership congress. i have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the president of ukraine, but a mere lensky,
11:13 pm
flava okra. now now the exchange you just to translate as go read the ukraine and glory to the heroes key slogans of national groups such as the right sector. since the rise in the 2014. but these days though, it has to be said, most ukrainians do associate that 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 here on your screen footage from previous rallies organized by the right sector for mark his birthday to demonstrate quote, the strength of the 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 big bucket
11:14 pm
of concern when it comes to domestic terrorism. xenophobia white supremacy and availability of guns are an explosive combination that we must disconnect. we're working now on a resolution that see when we bring it to the floor that will again speak out against anti semitism, anti islam of phobia, anti white supremacy, and all the forms that it takes, or that our country has no place for this. russia on the list, marty mccauley. feels that support for extreme misstatements comes from a lack of understanding of historical context. nancy in the past has tended to say things witcher afterwards, on reflection were not very advisable. oh,
11:15 pm
rather rather stream or because she doesn't have that type of historical and political background. ah, to really be aware more ways of the impact and the meaning of some of explanations and some of the things he shays. because she doesn't seem to have his background drawn, and she's to be a very americans who know very little history and nobility, european history, and definitely make statements which is business based on american experience. but they're aware that she plays offensive and out of place to none americans and europeans, most people trapped in the rubble of a theatre that was bombed him out to you. paul have survived. that's according to the advisor, the ukrainian interior minister. yet it is so far, no further information can be provided on the casualties. but the rescue operation is still on the way. according to the cities,
11:16 pm
deputy mayor of the 1200 people had been seeking refuge in the theatre and as a thursday around 130 had been rescued from the rubble. ukrainian authorities did confirm that give as accused russian forces of deliberately shelling the building. but moscow rejects the claims saying a far right ukrainian military battalion was responsible ortiz, maria finacialow, was 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 volume or 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 verified information on casualties that he's hard brakes to see what russia does. ukraine's foreign
11:17 pm
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 invariable into their base used civilians. as the human shields and blew the building up our before leaving into 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 food 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
11:18 pm
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. well, the fact is that this theater in mario paul was destroyed. but who did this? and if 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. no variable as been under relentless bombardment since russian troops surrounded it's on march. the 2nd, the russian defense minister claims a city is occupied by ukrainian extremists and local authorities have said that around 90 percent of the cities buildings have been damaged. on monday. russia said he had sent 450 sons of medicine food, an essential supplies to multiple, and up to 400000 people are still fought to remain that without drinking water,
11:19 pm
food, or medicine. many a still trying to flee the war torn city using a humanitarian corridors as upper osha, which was open just 3 days ago. according to the city or authorities, as many as 30000 people managed to escape through the route so far using their own personal vehicles. and those fleeing told us what they'd been 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 corridor. 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 doughnut sick people's army. they kept open the corridor. the evacuation was organized centrally . she 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
11:20 pm
u pal. we rushed out of the seller at our own risk. as soon as we left the city, we saw the don't get sick people's army. children and women were placed in buses. i know nothing about the men. soldiers of the ukrainian army were very violent. people were taken hostage. they didn't let us out just to hide behind our backs. meanwhile, people in odessa have been building sandbag walls and barricades in order to protect the city from the arrival of russian forces. the port is homes around 1000000 people, although an estimated 100000 have already left. since the beginning of the conflict un says a total of more than $3000000.00 refugees have now fled ukraine. since the start of the conflicts, almost 2 thirds of them have escaped a neighboring poland, which has led to the countries public services being overwhelmed. the refugee influx is seen by humanitarians as the worst in europe's history. we got the take of human and labor rights lawyer done culturally. it seems like there's
11:21 pm
a double standard when it comes to people who were attacked to blonde hair and blue eyes as opposed to other people. and that the sad reality joe biden has been sending record numbers of haitians. back to haiti is trying to keep out latin american to 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 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 and countries like 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,
11:22 pm
they want to point the finger at russia for their actions in ukraine without seeing their own frank, the worst crimes mounting pressure on russia has also been felt in the u. n. so moscow's now cancelled a vote on his humanitarian resolution ukraine, which had been slammed by opponents as farcical versus ambassador to the un confirmed the votes had been shelved, although not withdrawn due to unprecedented pressure from member states, u. k. m. boy to the us cold. the documents, cynical for making no mention of russia's role in the conflict over the read read resolution, excuse me, is planning to be a vote next week in the 193 nations general. assembly rushes foreign ministry spokesman. murray, as i got of a, has accused a popular italian newspaper of prejudice started last stump as a front page on wednesday, showed the aftermath of a mythos strike on the city of done yet. according to the diplomats,
11:23 pm
the daily passed off the victims of that's recent attack as death resulting from russia's military offensive. the image shows a scattered bodies and grieving people in done yet with the headline quotes. those key is facing a final assault. the hava accused the publication of falsification as it wasn't the ukrainian capital in the photo. the recent missile strike in the den, yes, republic killed 21 civilians. local authorities blamed ukrainian armed forces saying they used cluster munitions, which are legal under international law, if use indiscriminately. ukraine denies delegations without newspaper headline comes on top of a string of accusations of misinformation around the war in ukraine. moscow recently had to refute allegations by the u. s. embassy of its involvement in the shelling of ukrainians. citizens in the northern city of chattanooga. jordan, you go to system worship, near below, the russian armed forces unit in the area and now up. so i check his blocking roads
11:24 pm
with no offensive against the city being waged. the footage is spread by the ukrainian propaganda machine 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 nationally. and these images are yet another example of events stage by ukraine security forces for a former editor, rushes channel. one has been fined 230000 roubles, which is around $290.00 for this sort of thing. a live broadcast of a news program with an anti war protest. maria of fione covers held a sign emblazoned with the phrase stop the war and don't believe the propaganda. she also shouts at the same slogans as she interrupted the live broadcast. before the incident, she'd recorded a video thing. she was ashamed of working for kremlin propaganda. while western media were quick to pick up the case,
11:25 pm
labeling that it said international hero for braving to disrupt the circle of russia propaganda. over some questions such heroism income for comparing the case of joined the sons, russian anti war journalist, marina offs in a cova detained for 14 hours offered asylum in france. phrased by western media, australian anti war journalist julian sons', detained for 12 years, denied asylum in europe. smeared by western media, i thought people were exaggerating the significance of that protester on russian t v, but it turns out she actually managed to convince many journalists who spent the last 10 years cheering the public torture of julian assange to become die hard defenders of free speech overnight, the supreme court here said that her, basically, the home office can do a signature pending an appeal of some kind of last minute appeal of the bizarre legal process. while julian sanders being tortured here in britain, according to the united nations, the,
11:26 pm
the comparison is so stock. the supreme court decision made a very brief appearance on news media. while, while this russian protest was mentioned wall to wall on every front cover of the newspapers here, which are owned by oligarchs, of course, and private interests, the difference it couldn't be clear except while she was protesting what was happening in ukraine. julia sondra cause revealed supreme war crimes of nato nations. the kind of a double standards here are so strong that any journalist who goes up against an h o interests is treated with contempt in this country. they can be torture. they can face 175 years in a super max prison in the united states. u. k. sports minister says russian athletes may have to publicly denounced moscow's actions in ukraine as if they want to compete at the wimbledon tennis championships this summer. russia, bella, ruth, already banned from team events in tennis, while individual athletes
11:27 pm
a force to compete under a neutral flag. so parts of the punishments be meted out to russia in response to the outrage over his military offensive. i feel very strongly that these individual athletes should not be the ones that are being penalized. we have never banned athletes from participating on our tour as the result of political positions. their leadership may take russian star darneilia via d of is currently ranked number one in the world off the topic nova jock of it from the spots is also the current us open champion. and we spoke with the english professor alice cashmore who believes there should always be a clear line between sports and politics. well, i have never experienced anything like this. certainly not in my lifetime. what an athlete has to make clear what his political or moral or religious, or any kind of views on whatever subject as
11:28 pm
a condition of competing. i don't believe that banning russia from sports will make any difference. it will not influence the course of political and military events, but there is this, this almost tidal wave of antipathy, hatred against russia and athletes have just been swept away with this way. the people i met with our victims. frankly, i do not believe that he will be banned from wimbleton or the french open for that matter. i think he will be permitted to play, but he may have to fight for it and he shouldn't be in a properly run world. sport and politics should be kept separate but they're not. and we know that not, and we have to accept that fact. those are the main stories. this our head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more money. be to scott,
11:29 pm
be back again with more news right to the top of the hour. thank you. 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 that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to place trust rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with
11:30 pm
a robot must protect its own existence with the western capital face. what is deemed a foreign policy dilemma. the go to position is something must be done even if that something is counterproductive and dangerous. this is now happening when it comes to ukraine. something must be done means escalation ah, with
