a fellow and you're going to go with a sanctions begin to bite against russia. people in europe feel the pinch too, with the cost of living soaring an expos wall. and the worst is, gets a comp and the impacts being felt half way around the world as well. with age and countries which aren't even part of the sanction of russia. push being hit in the pockets. and mario pull officials say 30000 people have managed to flee the city that's after a safety root was open several days ago. however, $400000.00 residents are still believed to be shot lacking even basic supplies. we were in the cellar for almost a week. did not try to get out of strikes, were so hard that it was impossible to go outside. it is pure luck that we got out of mary you. we rushed out of the seller at our own risk

with coming to alive from our headquarters. here in moscow, you're watching archie international. my name is peter scott and welcome to the program. wherever you are joining us from. now we start with the latest on ukraine in the city of murray, you, paul survivors have emerged from a shelter in a theater after is hit by a bomb, arrested denies it was responsible for the attack. meanwhile, 6 western countries have accused russia of committing war crimes in ukraine. the you k is among the accuses thing is a strong evidence for the mir putin is behind those crimes. and that the international criminal court will make any final decisions. front claims president putin is only pretending to be interested in peace negotiations. well, joe biden has also called, but he may putin, a murderous dictator, and

a pure thought in turn. the criminal from those words is unacceptable and unforgivable. and russia accuses the west of pouring money and weapons in ukraine and thus fueling the conflict. now sanctions designed to punish russia for his actions in ukraine are being hurt. elsewhere to mos goes begun to retaliate against the western measures by bunning the exports of more than $200.00 items. to who it was. he calls on friendly states u. s. consumers among those feeling, the economic consequences of the anti russia sanctions. the ban on russian energy imports, the president biden announced on march the 8th is making gasoline prices rise along with the cost of living in general. such hikes come on top of the existing inflation problem, which the biden administration's been struggling with for months. over in europe, consumer price inflation is seeing its fastest on your jump on record. that's according to 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 palms have nearly doubled in march and experts, one the things are only going to get worse. now is predicted, russia could be forced to cut crude production by almost one 3rd threatening, a global oil supply shock. u. k. also fail to get the middle east producers to increase supplies. and in a bid to mitigate some of the impacts, the use agreed to subsidize household uncommon is hit hardest by spiking energy costs. with more now on how the crippling sanctions on russia are being felt in the pockets. much further afield is, shall davinsky. the west has repeatedly said is not at war with russia. and again, we are not weighed in the war against russia, us europeans 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 wolf 5 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 wool. what's different this time around is the unprecedented nature of the matches. western countries have let 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 nose dived and in this new

battlefield, everyone is feeling the sharp end of these economic weapons. there are certainly ordinary people, primarily suffer, but we all are on the ship together or 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 blue shading of course, there will be arise in prices. however, we shouldn't make a drum 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 here with 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,

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 couldn't 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 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 these foundations of its credibility. if that's lost, then it could crumble solid even sky r t. paris and asia's finding is not immune from the ripple effect to the sanctions on russia, either with skyrocketing oil prices along with fuel on coal shortages with more

knots, his ortiz roman cost, or 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 that bench. 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, theme port for a country heavily reliant 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.

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

that the common man is bearing the bronze of cost of living pressures. the taxi drivers, the prime 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 fall out. 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 the sanctions ah see be around, then originally expected asia understand that the impact on this continent is going to be less than you do. but it all depends on the on the economic string of various countries. for poor countries, louse is team r, r r mar, and so on. there is an immediate concern about our impose and especially the import of grain. china is certainly experiencing

a relatively difficult time. can nominally, at the moment time is blocking a very tight role is certainly value is our, our strategic partnership with russia. this is the us, the yes, sure. on the part of the united states, to exert pressure on china to incident signers position. and to warn china that you can on the sanctions may affect santa most people, trucks in the rubble of a 3rd. so there was bomb demario poll have survived. that's according to the advisor, the ukrainian interior minister. yeah. did this so far? no further information can be provided on the casualties and that the rescue operation is still ongoing. according to the cities deputy may of the 1200 people had been seeking refuge in the theater. as of thursday, around 130 of them had been rescued from the rubble that's been confirmed by ukrainian or thorough if he is accused. russian forces have deliberately shelling

the building, but moscow rejects the claims saying afar rights ukrainian military battalion was responsible. are these maria phenomena has more we have been indeed receive in conflict and 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 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 use 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 are told that russian forces who are 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 and allowed to go out. children were crying and 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. 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. now, maria pull has been under relentless bombardment since russian troops surrounded it on march. the 2nd, the russian defense ministry claims the city is occupied by ukrainian extremist and local authorities have said that around 90 percent of the cities buildings have been damaged. on monday, russia said, is that sense? 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, or many trying to flee the water on city using a humanitarian cardoza's, upper osha, which was open just about 3 days ago,

according to the city all sorties, as many as 30000 people managed to escape through the route by using their own private vehicles. those fleeing told us what they've 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 waters, absolutely nothing where we saw the dough nets at people's army. they can't 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 da network, people's army, children and women were placed in buses. i know nothing about the men behind them. soldiers of the ukrainian army were very violent. people were taken hostage. they

did let us out just to hide behind our backs. 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 home to around 1000000 people, although an estimated 100000 have already left since the beginning of the conflict . the un says more than 3000000 refugees have now fled ukraine. since the start of the conflicts almost 2 thirds of those escape to neighboring poland, which has overwhelmed the countries public services, while the czech republic has said it no longer has the capacity to accept those fleeing and thus due to lack of resources, refugee influence is seen by humanitarians as the worst in europe's history. however, while human rights watch has applauded the fast global response to the crisis, is still question the different approach to migrants from other parts of the world . you k, for example, is suspending visas for all nigerians to give priority to ukrainians, while in

a major departure from its usual policy towards refugees, canada is throwing open his doors to ukrainians for up to 3 years. we got to take on that from human and labor rights lawyer done colleague. it seems like there's a double standard when it comes to people who were attacked to blonde hair and blue eyes as opposed to other people. and that's the sad reality. joe biden has been sending record numbers of patients back to haiti is trying to keep out latin americans who try to cross the border here. and there seems to be a real dis, 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, but i think the other thing is that it's, you know,

the western countries that are causing the crises and countries 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 to point the finger at russia for their actions, the ukraine without seeing their own, frankly worse crimes while introducing ukraine's presidents of the u. s. congress. how speak nancy pelosi invoke the cry, gloria 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 know the exchange

you just heard translates as glory to ukraine and glory to the heroes. jackie slogans of nationalist groups, such as the right sites. her since the rising of 2014 but these days though it has to be states that 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 step on bud dera. it was a notorious nut nazi collaborator, and you can see on your screen now footage from previous rallies organized by the rise sector. so mark his birthday to demonstrate quotes, the strength of the ukrainian nation. thoughts 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

or 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. ah, that will again speak out against anti semitism, anti islam of phobia, anti white supremacy, and all the forms that it takes and that our country has no place for this. russia analyst marty mccauley told us that he feels 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, rather rather stream. or because she doesn't have that type of historical and political background. ah,

to really be aware what ways also the impact and the meeting of some of the expectations and some of the things you chaise. because she doesn't seem to have his background drawn. and she's to me, mary, americans are who know very little history and in the know realty european history, and definitely make statements, which is business based on american experience. but they're aware that show glaze offensive and out of place to none americans and europeans. meanwhile, this friday, march, exactly 8th year since crimea decided to become part of russia itself. and after referendum where more than 96 percent of locals voted to join russia. ortiz, i guess the of visited the peninsula. the west had many words for what happened in crimea. they called it an invasion annexation aggression. anything but the obvious

the will of the people their answer to what happened and give to what the west helped happen in kiev. ah ah

ah. is he great needed to kill, said the people, as nationalists, backed by neo nazis seized power and weapons. and backing from the west, crimea decided to act local authorities decided on the referendum. russian forces stationed in crimea disarmed ukrainian too many of whom would end up joining the rush. me, they did this to give their people a safe to prevent the bloodshed that would tear ukrainian society apart from

consuming crimea. the yeah, the bay. i was indeed afraid of what would happen if new ukrainian authorities came here. i had reasons to be afraid. i once came to the ukrainian city of ivana from coffin and was ignored indiscriminate it if i spoke russian instead of ukrainian. the 3rd is now there would have been bloodshed here, worse than in the non boss our regions rather specific full of different nationalities, aside from russians and ukrainians. the west rejected this in doing so, denying the crimean people's will as it projected and denied its own role in making my don happen to have a future you weren't were your country. this is of, of the future. you use your in your free world is with you. america is with you. i the vast majority of those

who participated on the my don were peaceful protestors, crimea likely escaped a terrible fate. the fate that befell hundreds even thousands deemed to be pro russian elsewhere. in odessa lashley spurned pro russian. protestors in havoc of hundreds were kidnapped, beaten, and many disappeared. in the dumbass, they mounted an anti terrorist operation that would kill 14000 people who were 8 long years. it was largely west and blessings, loans and arm shipments that made the civil war possible. they emboldened key of to keep shooting. merican and british advisers trained fighters from near nazi battalions fighters with swastika tattoos and patches once on by hitler's murderous assessed divisions. they made no secret of this and throughout western media and

politicians almost entirely shut their eyes to what was going on. 8 years on the crimea is well and truly russia, as it was before the ussr arbitrarily gifted the peninsula to ukraine, only to be shunned and derided under ukraine, crimea was always chronically under funded, and crime is themselves resented by their more nationalist minded countrymen, especially from western ukraine, since he joined despite sanctions, tremendous amounts of progress have been made thousands of kilometers of roads laid as well as infrastructure hospitals, kindergarten schools, all built from scratch or repaired from a sorry state crimea as choice in 2014 sped 8 years of nationalists tyranny and ideological purges, which have rec, craig, here,

there are few regrets inquiry via the now leave a new life, a better life. new norman, we live, well, there is no war the city is being repaired. could you now live a completely different life, or we can even afford raising children? is when you life has changed very much and have as ap voice yet, and was born in russia law. and i was happy beyond measure to return to my home country of the west. and ukraine have done everything to make life unbearable for crimean. they damned crimea as water supply cut off power and saddled more than a 1000000 people with ruinous sanctions. and the near total economic blockade, but they failed to break crimea, and 8 years on the peninsula is more sure than ever before. that it made the right choice more, i guess. do you have from cast that pity cops, crimea? well, that's all for this hour for the latest developments on the conflicts in ukraine

had over to r t dot com on his peter scott and thank you for watching. ah ah ah, 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

ah gray zone inhabitants have learned to sleep through the nighttime shilling and to live without the most basic utilities going for weeks without clean water or electricity. worst of all they've had to watch is the war creeps ever closer to their homes. teach georgia to correct train, huge banassi terrain. you don't look i'm or don't use that as the out to the does she george? so went on with there was bizarre gazes at kids. i'm with.
