ah, ah, ah ah, functions begin to bite against russia people in europe the feel the pinch to what the cost of living storing, experts warn the worst is yet to come. and the impacts being felt half way around the world as well with asian countries which aren't even part of a sanction. russian push being hit in the pocket. mario pol officials say 30000 people have managed to flee the 30. that's after safety route was opened several days ago. however, $400000.00 residents are still believe to be tracked. they're lacking 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.

it is pure luck that we got out of mary. you, paul, we rushed out of the seller at our own risk. ah hello, welcome to our international. we're coming to live from our studios here in moscow . thank you for joining us. we start 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 that 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. vladimir 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 has also called vladimir putin, a murderous dictator. and a pure fog. the kremlin has slammed those words as unacceptable. an unforgivable

russia accuses the waste of pouring money and weapons into ukraine and thus fueling the conflict sanctions designed to punish russia for its actions in ukraine are beginning to hurt elsewhere to moscow. begun to retaliate against the wisdom measures by banning the export of more than 200 items to unfriendly states. us consumers are among those feeling the economic consequences of the anti russia sanction. the ban on russian energy in ports that president biden announced a 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. consumer price inflation in europe is seen as fosters annual jump on record. according to the us that statistics agency, the highest spikes were recorded in the energy sector, followed by food, alcohol, and other goods fuel prices that the pumps have nearly doubled in march. and

experts low and that things are only going to get worse. it's predicted russia could be forced to cut crude production by nearly a 3rd thickening a global oil supply shock. u. k also failed to get them east producers to increase supplies in a bit to mitigate some of the impact, the ease agree to subsidize households and companies hit hardison by spiking energy costs. but more now on how the corrupting sanctions on russia are being felt in pockets much further afield. he has charlotte to betsy the west has repeatedly said, it's not at war with russia when she was open again. we are not waging a war against russia ass europeans to day, but we support ukraine when 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, war doesn't have to be full 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 measures. 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 finish her. 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 booth pushing. 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 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 blowback. 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 don't let take a dolly 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 i'll let current sees may also get a boost. russia. 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 shares 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 finding it's not immune from the rippling fact of the sanctions on russia either with skyrocketing oil prices along with fuel and coal shortages. with more that he has artes women cause to have 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 debate, but are still starting to feel that bench. 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 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'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 precious. 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. 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

battle field 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 i see be around then or regionally expected asia understand that they had on this continent is going to be less than the bureau. but it all depends on the on. but you cannot make stream of various countries for pull countries like louse is teen law firm, i mean law and so on. there is an immediate concern about impose and they're supposed to be there in part of grain. china is certainly experiencing a relatively difficult time. you can nomic 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 one time that you can nominate sanctions may affect china. most people trapped in the rubble of the theatre that was bombed in mario pool have survived. that's according to the advisor to the ukrainian interior minister. he added that so thought no further information can be provided on the casualties. and that a rescue operation is still under way. according to the cities deputy mayor, up to 1200 people had been seeking refuge in the theater. as of thursday, around a 130 people had been rescued from the rebel. the ukrainian authorities concerned kit has accused russian forces of deliberately shedding the building. moscow rejects the claims saying for why your cranium,

military battalion was responsible ortiz, 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 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. mil to rec 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 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 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. of the 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,

opal 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. mario pole has been under will interest 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, russia said had a st. 450 tons of medicine, food and essential supplies to mario, pull up to 400000 people are still for to remain there without drinking water, food, or medicine. many are trying to flee the water in the city using a humanitarian car door to upper washer, which was opened about 3 days ago. according to the sexual thirties, as many as 30000 people managed to escape through the roots so far using their

personal vehicles, those fleet told us what they've had to come through. we were in the cellar for almost a week and did not try to get out of 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 anymore. there are no means of communication or radio in the cellar. there was no water is absolutely nothing. but we saw that net sec, 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. you, paul. we rushed out of the cellar at our own risk. as soon as we left the city, we saw the donetta people's army. children and women were placed in buses. i know nothing about the men. i let them. soldiers of the ukrainian army were very violent . people were taken hostage. they didn't let us out just to hide behind our backs.

people in a distance have been building sandbag walls and barricades in order to protect the city from the arrival of russian forces. the porters holden to around 1000000 people. although an estimated 100000 have already left since the conflict again for you and says more than 3000000 refugees have now strange acquaintance. the start of the conflict almost 2 thirds of escape to neighboring poland which has overwhelmed the country. public services. while the czech republic has said it no longer has the capacity to accept those clean, due to a lack of resources, the refugee influx the humanitarian at work in your history. however, while human rights watch has a pulled at the foss global response to the crisis, it's questioned the different approach to migrants from other parts of the world. the u. k. is suspending visas for or not jillions to give priority to ukrainians while which is while in a major departure from its usual policy towards refugees. kenneda is thrown open at stores ukrainians for up to 3 years. we got the take of human and labor by lawyer

dan corvell, ic. 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 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 to point the finger at russia for their actions, the ukraine without seeing their own frank, the worst crimes. as we continue with our coverage of the war and ukraine will have an exclusive interview with rushes foreign minister, so delivery of lacy in the program. but for now let's have a short break. ah, ah, no, she has a, it isn't with

the one, you know, maybe a with a lot of the with a a

now while introducing ukraine's president to the u. s. congress. how speaker nancy pelosi invoke the cry. glory to ukraine. members of congress, i have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you, the president of ukraine. vladimir zalinski, flava o crana. i now the exchange you just heard, translate as glory to ukraine and glory to the hearers, which are t slogans of national food, such as the white sector since the uprising of 2014 these days though, most ukrainians associate the phrase with a sense of resistance, but its roots lie in the 1st half of the 20th century, most notably with an organization headed by stepan, mendera,

a notorious nazi collaborator. you can see footage from previous valleys, organized by the white sector to mark his birthday, to demonstrate the strength of the ukrainian nation at 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. i will working now on a resolution that we'll see 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 that our country has no place for this question

analysts, martin mccoy lee feel support for extremist statements 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 or the impact and the meeting of some of the explanations is some of the things you chaise. because she doesn't seem to have his background drawn. and she told me to marry americans who know very little history and in no religion european history and definitely make statements which is business based on american experience. but they're on aware that shaw glaze

offensive and out of place to none americans and europeans. meanwhile, this friday marks exactly 8 years since premier decided to become part of russia. it happened after referendum way more than 96 percent of local voted to join russia . ortiz, mariah garcia, 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 .

with in

ukraine slid into chaos and 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 troops, many of whom would end up joining the russian me. they did this to give their people a safe and 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 coffee 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 bus are 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 rejected and denied its own role in making my don happen. oh, future you want for your country. this is a huge in your, in your free world is with you. there 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, nationalists burned pro russian protestors in height 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 western blessings, loans and arm shipments that made the civil war possible. they bolden key of to keep shooting. merican and british advisors trained fighters from near nazi battalions fighters with swastika tattoos and patches once and by hitler's murderous assess 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 crimea themselves resented by their more nationalist minded countrymen,

especially from west than ukraine, since head joined despite sanctions, tremendous amounts of progress have been made thousands of kilometres 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 that 8th years of nationalists tyranny and ideological purges which have wrecked craig here, there are few regrets in crimea. they now live a new life, a better life. new norman, we live, well, there is no war. the city is being repaired that you now live a completely different life, or we can even afford raising children. every new life has changed very much for the data we ship yet. i was born in russia law. 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 gazda of from across that to the cops, crimea brushes foreign ministry spokesperson. maria is a, however, has accused a popular italian newspaper of prejudice that's after less than the front page on wednesday shows. aftermath of a missile strike on the city of bennett's. according to the diplomat, that the daily passport victims of that recent attack as bits resulting from russia's military offensive. the image shows scattered bodies and grieving people, internet's with the headline quote. thus kira is facing a final assault. the,

however accused the publication of falsification. as it wasn't that.
