[000:00:00;00] a with china accuses us of finding the flames over the war in ukraine as washington reps, a pressure on countries friendly with russia. moscow and give struggle to come to an agreement on key issues over resolving that ukraine conflict that as fighting continues with reports of civilian casualties and destruction of residential areas . we sat in the basement per week, hiding from the shooting. with british media regulator off. com revokes artes broadcasting license, citing the conflict in ukraine, end of the networks quote, relationship with the russian federation. r t says the watchdogs move was

politically motivated than to russia present further evidence to the u. n. that the u. s. and nato were supporting biological weapons development in ukraine. we hear the key point ah, broadcasting live direct from us to years in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest developments in the war in ukraine. vitamin push and emphasized in a phone call with french president a manual micron on friday that russia is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of civilians in ukraine, particularly by providing evacuating routes. now put in also accused nationalist ukrainian forces of having committed war crimes in the dumbass, an issue he mentioned in a call earlier that day with the german chancellor, olaf schultz. while the humanitarian situation in ukraine remains dire,

the un has reported it has employed its 1st humanitarian aid, gone. voy to the war torn city of sumi in the countries north east. meanwhile, moscow says the guns get republic has now gained control over 90 percent of its territory after pushing back ukrainian forces and the west crackdown on russian media continues with the case media regulator now pulling ortiz broadcasting license with immediate effect. more on that still ahead in the program. ukraine's interior minister insists any deal with moscow would be possible only after russian troops withdraw is comes after another round of peace talks. as the head of the russian delegation says that there has been some progress towards meeting moscow's demands for key to recognize the independence of the gum scans done. yet, the republics who will control the muscle is one of the key points or the negotiations. their point is that keeps control, that our point,

that is also the power of people so that people done, boss, should control their land. but there are some issues that should be discussed additionally, which i want to say that any negotiations must start from ukraine's rightful position. so in particular, that the russian troops must return to exactly where they came from when they started their attack on february 24th. what's it that china slammed the us for trying to coerce beijing during a call between the country's leaders. on friday, the u. s. had warned to china not to provide material support to russia over the conflict in ukraine. the china issued a swift and cutting response may work as the culprit of the ukraine crisis. why does the u. s. keep smearing china instead of reflecting on the security predicament in europe caused by the eastward expansion of us, lead nato? why doesn't the us reflect on its hypocritical move of watching the fire from across the river after fanning the flames? the least thing the u. s. should do is to sling mud at china, which is not

a party directly concerned the despicable move of the us. only serves to reveal its guilty conscience and true intention to shift the blame and profit from the ukraine crisis. weeks and weeks have seen both politicians and the media shift. they gazed eastwards to china for some this has been a wake up call, a turning point. the waste realizes it needs to f. now to contain and assertive beijing and things have become heated. g u. s. has been spreading successive disinformation targeting china on the ukraine issue with malicious intentions. china is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. the u. s. has gone so far as to threaten that other countries will pay a price for not following suit and imposing sanctions as it has done one country order is a luxury meal and the rest of the world has to foot the bill. this looks more like what a bully would do. we will not stand by and allow any country to compensate. russia for its losses from the duke sang would use. would don,

you should never forget that there are 3 fingers pointing back to you when you point fingers and others, but it's not just words and saber rattling the u. s. as playing with fire in a very sensitive region tie one and the indo pacific. washington has deployed more than 2000 troops, just radius northern territory for the 1st time ever is building and miss sol network aimed at deterring china has sailed a warship through the taiwan strait and approved a 100000000 dollars in arms sales to tie one. beijing isn't pleased. we warn the u . s. to playing the taiwan card is like playing with fire, which will not only push taiwan into a dangerous situation, but also bring unbearable consequences to the u. s. side u. s. l i. australia is also upping the ante anti one and on building nuclear submarines, japan's arms imports have increased 2 and a half times over the past 5 years. with south korea also noticeably increasing its

military budget. you can guess who supplying them. the usa remains the largest supplier to asia and oceania as arms exports are an important element of u. s. foreign policy aimed at china. and that's not all. and u. s. firm just bought a shipyard in the philippines might not look like much, just a bankrupt junkyard. well, not quite. the location provides direct access to the south china sea, the main area of china, how, when tensions a message to beijing that we here to stay. and then there's the firm who bought it . the co founder city feinberg is a washington insider having run companies with close ties to the u. s. military. he also apparently has a very keen interest in china. little surprise. it's his 1st. that 4th, shipyard, american, 5 eyes partner, australia is also very much on board. the sanction china plan with the countries military's having a few recent brushes. it's also splashing some serious tests to try and stop china's dominance of the minerals market. china currently dominates around 70 to 80

percent of global critical minerals production and continues to consolidate its hold over the supply chains. this initiative is designed to address that dominance that beijing was bullied and holds many cards. the recent lockdown in just one city has got the world interest supply chain panic. china's an opponent that many can't quite literally afford to have the u. s, which has banned imports of russian oil isn't just singing out china. it's also going after india, but still new deline has signed a deal for $3000000.00 barrels of russian oil at around 20 percent. below global prices. washington has said india is within its sovereign rights to make that purchase, but also issued a stern warning that new delhi should fall in line with us policy on a residential building and give was hit by fragments from an allegedly down to russian missile on friday. according to kim mayor,

one person was killed and 4 children were wounded. i blaze broke out in that building, located in caves. petoskey district and firefighters scrambled to put out the flames. several neighboring buildings including a kindergarten and school were also damaged according to the crane. faith, emergency service, now the russian military has not commented on the matter. here is how local residents described what happened but you, are you still because i was i did everything review ok. at least ukrainian official working for the presidential office says that there is no military solution for the besieged city of marble in the done yet republic, where massive fighting is continuing. the official said no end to the blockade by russian allied forces is inside, but that ukrainian forces would not give up. fighting for the city. russia military

have said that it would let ukrainian troops leave marable if they surrender. but caution that key of has refused the offer. reports are coming in from the city of don. yes. can that for people were killed as the ukraine military forces shelled a local district. the market in the center of the residential area suffered damage as a result of the strike this, according to the authorities of the republic. witnesses said to other people were taking the and this footage is from the village of guy and the done yet republic were homes and infrastructure have allegedly been destroyed by ukrainian troops on yet could forces have been distributing food, water, and other centrals to local residents. some told us that their feelings about what's happened to their village through a little while. if the volume is it that she wants to ask you about that. well, even when the battle was on the outskirts,

they still purposefully hit the village. it's good that our forces helped us handed out bread. we could not even contact relatives to find out whether they were alive or not because the phones didn't work to shoot me. the ongoing fighting menu cranium say they are not only scared of showing the, but also of those who have been branded, cheapest thought police. this is amid reports. people who had earlier aired any pro russia views or criticize to key if have gone missing, been arrested. and in some cases, found debt, no key of has denied any claims of deliberate which hunts. but he's maria for national comments. this is you believe any elegans, its former head openly voice supports for the autonomy of the republic. back in 2020, he became the mayor of another town in territory controlled by keith, but continued to share his view for the future of the don bos region. this year in march, when he met a stroke was kidnapped and later found dead. the next day, images of his dead body were posted all over and to russian internet forums with

words of approval. among them was an official advisor to the ukrainian ministry of internal affairs. there is one less traitor in ukraine, the entire state apparatus of ukraine, the secure to service the interior ministry. the prosecutor's office, the corps were unable to handle the outspoken, separate stroke. apparently he was shot dead by unknown patriots as a traitor under the laws of war. but apparently, in some cases there is no need to voice progression views at all. recently, denise kit iv, hey, participant in the russia, ukraine peace talks on key. if side was confirmed dead, he cranes me to adopt him, a traitor. quoting sources among politicians and intelligence, they reported that the country's domestic security service, they as b, you killed him during an apparent arrest, attempt, allegedly accusing key rave of business pi the as b u has never commented on the matter. and other case, the colon of which brothers both members of ukraine's communist party bend in ukraine, arrested by the as

b. u. in an official statement. they are described as accomplices of occupants. some get arrested without official charges, like one of ukraine's most famous writers who is a critic of the country's leadership south of a model. on march 10th, 2022. he was detained by the security service of ukraine in his. he has apartment without charge. now my dad is in the louisiana, he remains center, but no charge has been still brought in city. dmitri dunn gear of a well known ukrainian political commentator, who strongly criticized zalinski, or alleged like of leadership you to appear on lie with regular, our long video analysis. one day he appeared in a short video, strangely dressed, and looking exhausted in the recording, he addressed rushes, leadership, musician mo, regardless of the military campaign result that will never be any acceptance of russia. no sympathy, no positive attitude towards the russian federation. it's on forces and to a large extent, ordinary citizen,

viewers in common sections suggested he was captured, hand recorded the video under duress and to those that believe the threat is exaggerated. here is the governor of ukraine's nikolai region with microsoft. you know that we are already forming a list of traitors. there are not many of them, but they stay. they are preparing to help the occupiers and are already doing some things. i know a lot of people saying they know in the regions who should be shot. it has been there for the last few years. but recently ukraine's which honda has reached an alarming frightening scale. it seems that while moscow continues its special military operation here on the ground, he if has declared as special war, he gazed its own people. britons media regulator, has decided to revoke our t license to broadcast in the u. k. with immediate effect of comm sided, the current conflict in ukraine and band, the network due to its relations with the russian state. this investigation has

taken the count of a number of factors, including ortiz, relationship with the russian federation. it is recognized, the art is funded by the russian state, which has recently invaded a neighboring sovereign country. we also note new laws in russia which effectively criminalize any independent journalism that the parts from the russian state. so news, narrative, and particular relation to the invasion of ukraine. we consider that given these constraints to the peers impossible for all to, to comply with the jew impartiality rules while broadcasting code in the circumstances. this is a continuation of the madness that is going on in america and europe. it is ante russian madness. this is yet another step, crudely limiting freedom of speech. british authorities have opened more than 2 dozen investigations into whether our teeth coverage of the ukraine war has been impartial with off. com. in particular, expressing quote, great concern of com, however, noted that broadcasters right to freedom of expression in its coverage of the

deeply sensitive matter. r t is deputy editor and chief on a balcony, said the regulator was being used as a tool of the british government. of com has shown the u. k. public and the regulatory community internationally. the, despite a well constructed facade of independence, it is nothing more than a tool of government bending to its media suppressing will, by ignoring ortiz, completely clean record of 4 consecutive years, and stating purely political reasons, tied directly to the situation in ukraine, and yet completely an associate to art is operations, structure management, or each tauriel put off. com has full c george artie to not be fit and proper and in doing so, rock d u. k. public of access to information. earlier i spoke with tara reed author and former u. s. senate aid who thinks banning r t is an attempt by the west to silence opposing viewpoints. first, he is a voice that we need to hear and as an american citizen, i want to hear

a different voices. i want to not only just the through western lens, will a cocker see, isn't it? i mean, what about bbc? what about p via? what about him? he are. those are all funded by the british and the american governments. and there are only presenting one side of the story. you know, i just deleted my facebook and my instagram because they wanted to promote or say it was ok to have, have speech about russian. it's a very diabolical attempts by the west q sensor and silence. another voice, another international voice, and i think that all press should be very worried because if they can just take away our license, then they can do it to anyone. russia has provided further evidence to the un security council that it says proves biological weapons were being developed in ukraine under a u. s. and nato program, or us correspondent,

kill him up in comments. russia presented evidence of what it says we're biological weapons facilities tied to the pentagon. they were operating in ukraine and have significantly put the health of the people in the region in danger. this is what russian representative and ambassador benzo had to say before the un security council about what sounds like a very, very serious matter onion and i mean the documents that we have shared this morning . you can see one called the technical assistance plan for certain recipients of the ukrainian ministry of defense. i recommend you look through this document very carefully. it confirms the pentagons direct funding and supervision of military and biological projects in ukraine. the total funding accounted for $32000000.00 money, which went directly to a number of ukrainian defense ministry laboratories. according to this plan, the u. s. ministry of defense ran the projects on ukrainian territory right now in the band. the anticipated flat out denial from us officials,

they would dismiss that concern, the simply the propaganda of russia, as they routinely do with concerns that russia res. so he presented real evidence signed documents, et cetera. you went on to say there is very, very solid evidence of the united states working in ukraine to set up these bio labs for military purposes. and it has had an impact on the health of people in the area. this is what about the a went on to say when addressing the security council, the need for the city and the documents we unveiled have real signatures of us officials on them. in particular, many assigned by the head of the ukrainian office of the threat reduction agency. joanna wind troll, a pentagon staff member. she is well known in nonproliferation circles for ukraine . she supervised the destruction of chemical weapons in libya. if journalists are really interested in verifying the documents we shed, then i suggest that you ask her directly whether it really is her signature. now as

no ben z a predicted the us ambassador and representative before the security council simply dismissed these allegations. as conspiracy theories propaganda did not respond to the very solid claims that were made by the russian representative. anything that comes from russian officials is simply dismissed by the united states . here is what we heard from the u. s. representative in response to some pretty solid evidence that was presented. you gave us exactly exactly what you gave us last week. and last week we heard from the russian representative a tirade bazaar, conspiracy theories this week were hearing a whole lot more where that came from. things that sound like they were forwarded to him on a chain e mail from some dark corner of the internet. you just saw the us representative does not seem to share rushes concerns about public health, and this is building a pattern. we recently saw a former u. s. congress,

woman tulsa gathered widely attacked. was she res, concerned about the bio labs in a video that was circulated on youtube. we saw not only allegations that her assembly bringing it up, i approved her to be a russian asset. we saw calls for her to be prosecuted simply for talking about it down and in the states. there is just a refusal to engage with anything that russia is saying to examine the evidence that russia is presenting. there is, seems to be no concern about the real threats to public health in this situation or the reality that it appears that the united states was working with ukraine to develop biological labs that were carrying out military operations. this is a very, very serious issue in the united states seems very concerned about the use of chemical and biological weapons in other countries and repeatedly raised out of the security council. however, when russia raised this concern and presented real documents signed by us officials, a lot of evidence to back up their claims that we saw the i did states simply
