this is now happening when it comes to ukraine. something must be done, means escalation. ah, sanctions begin to bite against russia, people in europe feel the pinch too. with the cost of living soaring, an expert want the worst is yet to come. on the impacts been felt halfway around the world as well with asian countries which aren't even part of the sanction. russia push being hit in the pocket with variable officials say 30000 people have managed to flee the city as after safety roots was open several days ago. over $400000.00 residents are still believe to be that lucky, even basics of wise 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.
12:01 am
it is pure luck that we got out of mary. we rushed out of the seller and our own risk with coming to you live from our headquarters here in moscow, you're watching r t, internationalists on 70. i'm 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 murray, you pull, survivors have emerged from a shelf in a theater. after it was hit by a bomb, where she denies it was responsible for the attack can. meanwhile, 6 western countries have accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine. u. k. is among the accuses saying is, has strong evidence for them. and putin 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 peace negotiations. joe biden, meanwhile, is also called a vladimir putin, a murderous dictator,
12:02 am
a pure thought, the criminal slum, those words as unacceptable and unforgivable mccue's as the west of pouring money and weapons into crane and thus fueling the conflict of sanctions designed to punish russia for his actions. in ukraine, be getting to hurt elsewhere to moscow begun to retaliate against western measures by budding, the exports of more than $200.00 items to what they calls on friendly states. us 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 types come on top of the existing inflation problem, which the biden administration has been struggling with the months. meanwhile, over in europe, the consumer price inflation is seeing its fastest annual jump on record. according to the euro start statistics agency,
12:03 am
the highest spikes were recorded in the energy states, a followed by food, alcohol, and other goods fuel prices. the poems have nearly doubled in march, and experts warn the things are only going to get worse. it's been predicted. russia could be forced to cut a crude production by nearly a 3rd threatening, a global oil supply shock. u. k. also failed to get middle east producers to increase supplies in a bit to mitigate some of the empire b. u has agreed to subsidize households and companies hit hardest by spiking energy costs. with more now on how those crippling sanctions on russia being felt in pockets much further afield. his shout, davinsky the west has repeatedly said it's not at war with russia. when susan pin, again, we are not waging a war against russia os your opinions to day, but we support ukraine. we arnold part of this conflict, nato is not seeking
12:04 am
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, war doesn't have to be food like that these days into a new dimension in warfare. crippling economic sanctions. ok, so waging economic sanctions isn't exactly a new idea. in fact, u. s. president woodrow wilson once described such measures as being more tremendous than war. 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
12:05 am
battlefield, everyone is feeling the shock bend of these economic weapons. there are 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 lu 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 vogue. i remember postwar times. so now i'm reassuring all my loved ones, which was the main thing is that we have our country with 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 physical conflict,
12:06 am
both in their 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 they 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 been seen as a safe bet. many sovereigns, including u. s. a line countries have realised owning massive amounts of dollars lead to an
12:07 am
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 boost. russia and india are looking at a ruble, repeat trade agreement. the repeat is gaining traction elsewhere to the my and my government intends to initiate. similar currency convert ability for the indian repay 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. meanwhile, asia is find it 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
12:08 am
knots, his ortiz roman casa, 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 viet nam, 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 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 orders are delayed and payments are impossible.
12:09 am
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 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, 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 said not the case for a regular guys who have found themselves out of pocket. the fact of the matter is
12:10 am
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 a local fallout. we can already see the short term consequences around the globe.
12:11 am
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 key if the sanctions ah c bureau, in, originally expected asia understand that the impact on this continent is going to be less than the euro. but it all depends on the on. but you cannot make stream of various countries for poor countries like louse is teen law, burma mean law and so on. there is an immediate concern about impose and they're supposed to be the import of grain. china is certainly
12:12 am
experiencing a relatively difficult time. you can nominate probably at the moment, china is walking a very tight rope is certainly value is strategic partnership with russia. this is last the yes, sure. on the part of the united states to accept press on china to influence china's position. and to one time that you can nominate sanctions may affect china while introducing ukraine's president for the u. s. congress. how speak at 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, vladimir zalinski, flava o crana. i live on the exchange,
12:13 am
you just heard translates as glory to ukraine and glory to the heroes. he slogans of nationalist group such as the right sector since the uprising in 2014. these the days though he has to be said that most ukrainians do associate the phrase with a sense of resistance. but its roots ally in the 1st half of the 20th century, most notably with an organisation headed by step on by darrow, who was a notorious nazi collaborator. and as you can see on your screen now footage from previous rallies organized by the writer to mock his birthday, to quote, demonstrates the strength of the ukrainian nation. but 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 domestic terrorism. xenophobia white supremacy and availability of guns
12:14 am
are an explosive combination that we must disconnect. and we're working now on a resolution at a c, r 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 at our country has no place for this. russia analyst martin 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 which afterwards on reflection were not very advisable. oh rather rather stream or because she doesn't have that type of historical and political background. ah, to really be aware,
12:15 am
always also 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 told me many americans are who know very little history and nobility, european history, and definitely make statements which is business based on american experience. but they're on aware that shaw glaze are offensive and out of place to none. americans and europeans, most people chopped in the rubble of a 3rd that was bombed him or you pull have survived, as, according to the advisor to the ukrainian interior minister. he out of this so far, no further information can be provided on the casualties and that the rescue operation is still ongoing. according to the city deputy mailed to 1200 people had been seeking refuge in the theater of thursday. around 130 of them had been rescued
12:16 am
from the rubble that's confirmed by the ukrainian or forces he is accused. russian forces are deliberately shutting the building, but moscow rejects the claim, saying a far right ukrainian military battalion was responsible. artsy, maria finn nation 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 village immerse zalinski shortly after the news emerged, accused moscow of 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 minister used even stronger words to call calling to stop rushes. military criminals. meanwhile moscow called it all
12:17 am
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 to later blame a russia 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 a basement for 15 days with no one allowed to go out. children were crying and
12:18 am
there was no water, no food or shops nearby. 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, maria pull has 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. local authorities have said that around 90 percent of the cities buildings have been damaged or monday. russia said it sends 450 tons of medicine food, an essential supplies to multiple of to 400000 people are still thought to remain there without drinking water, food, or medicine. many
12:19 am
a trying to flee the war torn city using a humanitarian cardoza's, upper. roger, 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 their own personal vehicles. and those fleeting told us what had 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 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 doughnut sick 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. yes, 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 donuts at people's army. children and women were placed in vs. i know
12:20 am
nothing about the men who heard of them. soldiers of the ukrainian army were very violent. people were taken hostage. they did it, let us out just to hide behind our backs. people in odessa have been building sun, bike walls and barricades in order to protect the city from the arrival of russian forces. the port is home to around 1000000 people, although an estimated 100002 have already left is the beginning of the conflict. the 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, the escape to neighboring poland, which has led to the countries of public services being overwhelmed. refugee influx has been seen by humanitarians as the worst in europe's history. we got take on that from the human and labor rights lawyer done cleverly. it seems like there's a double standard when it comes to people who were attacked to blonde hair and blue
12:21 am
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 americans who 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 in 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 want
12:22 am
a point to finger 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. where most goes now council to vote on his humanitarian resolution on ukraine, which had been flung by opponents of farcical verses on basset to the un confirm the votes had been shelved, although not withdrawn due to unprecedented pressure from member states. u. k. m. boy, to the un called the document cynical, the making no mention of russia's role in the conflict. however, the resolution is planned to be put to a vote next week in the $193.00 nation general. assembly rushes foreign ministry spokesman murray as a heart of a, has accused. a popular italian newspaper of prejudice thought the last stump as front page on wednesday showed the aftermath of a missile strike on city of done yet, sc. well, according to the diplomats, the daily past, off the victims of that recent attack as death resulting from russia's military

12:24 am
the footage 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. the world is witnessing the so called bankruptcy of globalization. well, that's the striking assessments of the current global situation from turkey's interior minister. russia has realized how it has been framed and squeezed by the united states. of course, we will see together whether this is a new cold war or something else, but this is the bankruptcy of globalization. the minister also controversially alleged the european block is governed by what he described as soros rules, of course, referring to the influential financier. the statements come in the wake of
12:25 am
a wave of sanctions imposed on moscow. russia is now the most sanctioned country in the world, having been suspended for many international financial operations with most western leaders condemning the countries offensive in ukraine. the chairman of turkeys patch, yachting party thought, see the current situation, the case, not only globalization, rapid decline, but also nato's it is fail, shalay marshall? no, no. i fully agree with the interior ministers evaluations that we are observing, the bankruptcy of globalization. moreover, the interior minister also stated that the crisis displayed the bankruptcy of nato reason for the reception of this crisis is nato's initiative towards the east and nato expanding towards the east is nato moving toward its own graveyard. and consequently, the current war proves that the u. s initiative to enlarge nato in the east is leading to the dissolution of nato itself. and you are, those are the main stories this our head over to our t dot com or our social media pages for more. and of course,
