ah, i with nothing pressure on nations that refused to rule out any friendly ties with moscow . india being the latest to get lectured and threatened by washington. moscow and chaos struggle to come to an agreement on key issues, either resolving the ukraine conflict that as fighting continues with reports of civilian casualties and destruction of residential areas. we sat in the basement for a week, hiding from the shooting with death threats on vandalism. a new york russian restaurant is attacked. it's another

victim of massive. so when anything associated with the country or its culture says the conflicts flat up in ukraine, the owner says it has been every day we get anywhere between $3.00 to $10.00 of calls or voicemails of just be, you know, we hope your business supports the ground. a a warm welcome is just to and 8 pm here in moscow, and you're watching all t international. but the usa is ramping up. pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia. thank history will be all americans side. india is the latest country being lectured by the west, though efforts appear to be back firing ortiz donald quarter reports. neutrality is just not good enough for washington anymore. has the ukraine conflict raises on an
1:02 pm
india considers buying discounted russian oil. the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us, or are you against us or message to, to any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions. but that we, we have put in place and recommended. i don't believe this would be violating that, but also think about where you want to stand when, when the history books are written in this moment in time and support for the russian leadership is support for an invasion. that obviously is having a devastating impact. new delhi isn't the only one being pressured by the western camp. china to has been accused of picking the wrong side despite beijing saying it would rather stay out of the whole thing. well, china is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. as for the us, it seems like no matter how many toes it steps on, washington will say it's still one of the good guys. it doesn't matter that oil
1:03 pm
prices have risen 40 percent this year, and india could seriously reduce its energy bills with discounted imports from russia. the us even threatened india with sanctions for the recent purchase of s $400.00 missile defense systems for moscow. it's as if the white house things, india, the world's largest importer of russian weaponry, just radically change its trade deals at the drop of a hat. india not only depends on russian weaponry, but it also relies hugely in moscow for military upgrades and modernization as it moves towards self reliance in his defense sector. at the top it all off, washington is offering nothing to replace what it's asking india to give up. i would like to ask our american friends, what kinds of defense technology have you given us? what the us is offering is the f. 16 fighter aircraft re branded as the f 21. the f 16 is obsolete from the in important view. we went for the mig 21 in the 1900 sixty's because the f 104 was denied india. we're seeing the same kind of thing. on
1:04 pm
the other hand, it's not for nothing that india's enjoyed friendly relations with russia for so long. over the past 69 years, new delhi and moscow have only diverged a handful of times that un votes. throughout the pandemic, russia has sent 10 tons of medical aid to india. and what is the u. s. offered demands, threats, and smack talk. give me a shout on india because it's one country which has substantive relationship with russia. and that's also, you know, white teams sick, those are the economy. and in national security, i mean, you can still waiting with that. we are not with a block mentality. so that to see what you hear also that you don't know, it becomes more difficult in dependence. on russia for india in the us, national security will collapse without definition. sure. so, you know,
1:05 pm
they're talking to us on the track where there is really no fallback position for. but usaa is also pushing china to join until russian sanctions, though president, she apparently refused to be coerced in a friday call. with his american counterpart, washington had also warned not to provide material support to russia and american lawmakers on now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions. helping russia conduct transactions offered with bars from the international swift financial payment system. diplomats and journalists, gregory clark say the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disrupted relations with russia. china, china will put it in the interests 1st.
1:06 pm
that is entrenched at the moment. why i think in cooperation with russia, because it's quite clear that we will not get much cooperation from america. the west is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to how should we say, provoked china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but so far they have not had much success. and i didn't think that her magic's success in the future south africa has lay the blame for the situation in the ukraine, squarely on nato. the countries president points don't even the us led. the military blogs own both is, had repeatedly admitted the dangers of reckless expansion rights to russia's border
1:07 pm
. the war could have been avoided. if nato had heated the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that it's eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less instability in the region. a member of the african national congress usually exceed nato's destructive motives. have always been clear. we're not naive . we lived and we understand history. nato was formed in 1949 under the auspices of peace, but we have never seen anything peaceful. why not papa? of the west is what we're african and wanted the position. and our position is that we side with the 1st people don't boss who have been form, but it was for the past 8 years. and they don't have the luck an opportunity to appear on a daily basis on. and therefore, it is a to speak for them. the latter is not asking us to take the outside is the take
1:08 pm
a certain group of innocent people, because russia has not a lot of people. russia has been going for military installations. if you could, we are not for much taking a site or not, but we are student of history and it tells us currently that close them is call it a residential building in kiev was hit by fragments from an allegedly down russian missile on friday. according to care, man, one person was killed and 4 children were wounded. a place for accounts in the building located in a puddle school district, and firefighters scrambled to put out the flames. several neighboring buildings including a kindergarten and a school will also damaged according to ukraine state emergency service. the russian military has not commented on the matter. here's how local residence described. what happened. i should put you up
1:09 pm
with a police in law and ukrainian official working for the presidential office. they say there's no military solution to the besieged city of murray. i'll pull in the don. yes, we're public. when 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 the fighting for the city. russia's military has said it would let ukrainian troops leave at marianne pole if they surrender, but cautions the key of has refused to the offer. report saw coming from the city of don. yes, we had 4 people were killed as the ukraine military forces shelled a local district. the markets in the center of the residential area suffered damage as a result of the strike. according to the authorities of don. yes,
1:10 pm
republic witnesses said 2 other people were taken to hospital and this is footage from the village of old guin caught in the don yet republic, where holmes and infrastructure have allegedly been destroyed by ukrainian troops on yes, forces have been distributing food water and the other essentials to local residents, some told as their feelings about what's happened to their village. or do you have to do a little bit of olive but, but as well, you will, isn't she that she a new oh new love at the water 2 or 2 about. but even when the battle was on the outskirts, they still purposefully hit the village. it's good that our forces help desk were handed out brad. we could not even contact relatives to find out whether they were alive or not because the phones didn't work through. amid the ongoing fighting, many ukrainian se, then not only scared of shelling,
1:11 pm
but also of those who have been branded kiev stuart's police pass limits are poor people who had earlier at any pro russian views or criticize key as have gone missing, being arrested. and in some cases, found dead, he has has denied any claims of deliberate, which hunts. maria, if an ocean report this is you believe any elegans, its former head openly voice supports for the autonomy of the republic. but 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 regiment, 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,
1:12 pm
the corps we're unable to handle the outspoken separatist truck. 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, if a participant from the russia, ukraine peace talks on key of side was confirmed dead, he cranes me to adopt him, a traitor, quote, in sources among politicians and intelligence, they reported that the countries domestic security service, they as be, you killed him during an apparent arrest attempt allegedly accusing crave of venus pi. the as b, u has never commented on the matter. and other case, the colon of each brother is 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,
1:13 pm
2022. he was detained by the security service of ukraine in his he of apartment without charge. now my dad is in the luke. yeah, not. he remains center, but no charge has been still brought. dmitri gent, gear of a well known ukraine and political commentator, who strongly criticized zalinski, or were alleged like of leadership use to appear on line with regular, our long video analysis. one day he appeared in a short video, strangely dressed, and lookin exhausted in the recording, he addressed rushes leadership using this more regardless of the military campaign, result that will never be any acceptance of russia. no sympathy, no positive attitude towards the russian federation is armed forces and to a large extent, ordinary citizens. little room viewers in common sections suggests that he was captured and recorded the video under duress and to those that believe the threat is exaggerated. here's the governor of ukraine's nikolai region,
1:14 pm
reminders was do 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 to recently ukraine's which hunt has reached at alarming frightening scale. it seems that while moscow continues its special mil to reparation here on the ground, he if has declared a special war against its own people. while he went, house report states managed to send in its 1st, he went to harry and a convoy the war, twin city of sumi, the organization seized, the delivery was made possible by negotiating with both the russian and ukrainian military question. troops have also been delivering humanitarian aid to areas in need. the russian defense ministry said that over $3000.00 tons of essential supplies, including food and medicine, have been handed down to madonna,
1:15 pm
back since last month. and a new episode of ortiz going underground, my colleague, she mckenzie discusses what a solution for the claim process might look like with retired us kind of lawrence wilkerson who said this chief of staff on the us secretary of state colin powell in the early 2 thousands you can watch that interview in full, as it said throughout the day. hey, auntie international. and we all agreed that the only solution to this conflict, to diplomatic solution negotiation that let's let me put at least gain some of what he wishes and allows much of ukraine to remain a state part of it being autonomous, perhaps with referenda to be conducted. however, you work out the details or recognition that crimea is going to be part of russia or ever in a day. some other things like that that would be appeasing to moscow and leave some
1:16 pm
kind of intact as to what ukraine wants to be. and it's majority and settled with that and quit because this is in sanity, it is utter insanity. it is making a pariah of food. and i understand that the george kevin, the j. k. diplomat told colin powell about easter, the expansion of nato and the dangers of it when you is chief of staff. absolutely . cannon was 98 or 9 years old at the time, and he actually said it was the biggest strategic mistake american made in the post cold war era. and might be the biggest one that we made in the so called cold war panorama. and i agree with him it, it made no sense whatsoever. it was done principally for arms, merchants and arms, sales and money to be made. i think you're looking at an alliance, it's looking for a purpose, and it's been looking for
1:17 pm
a purpose ever since the goal oriented washington say these sanctions against russia aren't planned to be permanent and will be listed as soon as russia stop is military actions. the u. s has meanwhile warned it will punish countries that help russia bypass the sanctions. we spoke to eco ego, shallow head of the russian state corporation that finance has major domestic projects and he says his company was prepared for the sanctions. isn't accept all the exclusive interview to add in full on monday. ah, sargon his answer, your organization like the whole countries under attack you personally are under attack, but let's take a look at your organization 1st. where did the section hit hardest? i will put a shortcut to reprice this date of inclusion in the sanctions list. in 1st class condition, we had high capital adequacy, a crystal clear balance sheet liquidity. the main thing is to be in great shape, but it's like being
1:18 pm
a sportsman or the go. you have to be an excellent physical shape without doping, hugely, for me visible, the russian president has argued that the westwood had russia with sanctions under any circumstances. up a bull that was needed was a suggestion. so was it possible to prepare for the sanctions? sanctions a good because they lead to a desire to change a lot, but it's still better when this desire appears within the country and not as a result of pressure. since 2014, the country has become even more independent in terms of technical security and food security. now, there is no way out, it is clear what needs to be done. now it is necessary to produce critically needed elements. be safe, especially on food. the president spoke about this route. i support absolutely everything he said about the economic development plan in which people do not understand the russian character. if we face more pressure from outside, the more united we will be good, but we will take care of ourselves at home and do what we need to do and what we want. we don't have to point and take anything away. it's not going to any good. oh
1:19 pm
so many people don't know much about history because nobody has cope with us like that. those people to not remember the history of the 20th century, but then some people probably have a feeling that in the 21st century they will succeed because but i do not believe that. but i also imagined that i am a person who imposed sanctions taken away well from the russian people see on that . what would you say to this? personally, i don't want to get personal, but i hope that while i'm still alive, i will say a different degree in phase in the development of international law. when no one can violate the internet, still rules of conduct including un law. now we live in a situation where rights are created on a lack of rights, you book or community. ah, well people all over the globe are dealing with hateful messages, discrimination boycotts, and even vandalism, for just being associated with russians or russian culture. some have reported
1:20 pm
receiving death threats regardless of their personal political views. the russian, some of our restaurants in new york is one of the latest to be targeted by vandals . it struggled with a boy called threatening calls and badger reviews on line since the conflicts broke house in ukraine. as despite the staff being both russian and ukrainian, we spoke to the owner of the restaurant. we've done with vandalism. i mean, every day we get anywhere between 3 to 10 of calls or voicemails, of just being her, you know, we hope your business burns the ground, calling us nazis calling us fascist people that are taking their aggression out on something that is now the new thing to be angry about it's through. so for you to point out the 1st day the war began with us. 20 reservations were down 6070 percent and it took the press in order to educate and to convey this message that we're not
1:21 pm
the bad goes or cancel culture. now, out of this world officially a top us space organization with intimate ties to the pentagon and american arms manufacturers is being heavily criticized for removing the name of the 1st person in space from his annual fundraiser. the space foundations, that uri's knights, named in honor of soviet cosmo, to you, are a guardian. who now just because a celebration of space, citing the conflict in ukraine, but the move has not been well received. why would you do this, gar, and has nothing to do with this? you cannot erase the innovation positive contribution and sacrifice of russian and soviet artists, scientists from history. what next burning dostoevsky is books. i do also agree, uri was and will always be the 1st man in space and a representation of a true russian. we should actually celebrate it even louder this year. not the
1:22 pm
contrary. cancel, culture is now officially out of this world. what planet are you on? this is a freedom, fries level dumb. one of the good things about space exploration is even during the cold war. there were attempts at international corporation in space. amid the outrage, the organization removed its release, explaining the decision from his website. the now deleted information has insisted the fundraiser would still celebrate human achievements in space. there's just the latest in a wave avante russian sentiment with many top sports governing bodies, dropping the country from leagues and tournaments. russian musicians and artists have seen their concerts and performances cancelled in europe. cosmonaut andre morris sankoh says the goal is nothing less than wiping russia from world history in the family. busy when ya knew, frankly speaking,
1:23 pm
i wasn't surprised by the incident. similar decisions in common in various fields. in my view, this reaction is not proportional intrigue as a war against history. new york regarding parts of russian history, he is part of world history, is an attempt to eradicate it. i think such moves have no justification or since 2014, the us has not just supply ukraine with weapons according to an investigation by yahoo! news. the cia has been secretly training specialized military units all that time. the report suggests yet more evidence that washington has been encouraging kias towards open hostilities with moscow. they c i a has yet to comment on the claims he's on. he's caleb open. in the 8 years since the instability in ukraine began, the united states has poured billions of dollars worth of military equipment into the country. furthermore, the us military has been training the ukranian army ca paramilitary forces have
1:24 pm
also been training them and preparing them for special operations against quote, russia and its separatist allies. we tried to really focus on operational planning than really hard military skills like long res marksmanship, not just the capacity to do it, but to know how to do it on the battlefield. our job is to have an exponential impact. it's not to get our badge for shooting a russian or something. i think the training really paid off the cia is ukraine program was kept secret for 8 years. some of those involved in setting it up were worried about what might happen if it was made public. i don't know how we didn't get anybody injured, to be honest. but the covert nature of the mission ensured deniability. u. s. officials wouldn't want to say we just had a cia officer kill by russian in ukraine. that would put the president to the white house in a very bad position. they feared that public knowledge of the program could lead to
1:25 pm
an unpredictable escalation of the crisis. everything we did in ukraine had a chance to be misinterpreted and escalate the tensions. how far can you go with existing covert action authorities? if god forbid they shot some russians? is that a problem? do you need special authorities for that? despite the real concerns that existed, the united states continued this program for years, training groups of radicals and preparation for a confrontation, a proxy war with moscow. they seem to be following that old adage, if you want peace, prepare for war with ultimately the opposite effect. the united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight russia over there. and we don't have to fight russia here. were waging a proxy war against russia, and rightly so, time to face up to what that implies. because prudent in the russians are a lot weaker and the ukrainians a lot stronger than they look. remember, the russians invaded afghanistan back in 1980. it didn't end
1:26 pm
well for the russians. 8 years, the war during which some 14000 people were killed, mostly civilians. so this was a very serious, ongoing conflict, very nasty, very bloody on the lake and the people who are now a so in such anguish about ukrainian lives, they didn't say anything. it's not exactly a surprise. we knew this was over a training program involving the pentagon. the cia phos is something new starting the americans were calculating that they couldn't lose, which is why they were egging ukraine on. encouraging this ukraine is always been useful to washing them as a battering ram to use against russia. despite all the concerns now being
1:27 pm
raised in western media, the fact themselves speak volumes. the united states has been planning to use ukraine as a bloody battlefield against russia for years. at no matter what cost. caleb martin r t new york in greece, hundreds of foreigners took to the streets of athens on friday to protest against drastically rising fuel and fertilizer prices connected with the sanctions against russia. now they say that production costs are now so high, having to significantly cut back their businesses. the great government has already reduce the sales tax on those lines is by almost half and is offering other support measures that farmers say. the help isn't enough. the apple work is in peace. have refused to load books is they say contained weaponry, this kind of humanitarian aid for ukraine. they say the arms were supposed to be sent to us,
1:28 pm
and nato base is in poland and then provided to ukraine. and italian trade union has called for protests take place outside the airport on sunday. oh, the video said, social media shows crowds chancing nato go home and waving banners saying, yankee go home. as the us defense, secretary of writing severe protest is waived, russian and bulgarian flag as lloyd austin hell talks on sending military 8th to ukraine. but i say news conference off to the negotiations, who gary as prime minister rule out giving military assistance to kiev when he, thanks for keeping his company naughty international. this saturday will be back in about 30 minutes. but the latest to say that ah
1:29 pm
l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obviously, is to create trust rather than fear like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with awe.
1:30 pm
welcome, just put nick orbiting the world with me, george galloway and me, gaiety, media lights are going out all over the world. they may not be switched on again. in our lifetime, nato is not just traditional weapons of war, but a vast monstrous regimen of hacks whose salary and status is absolutely determined by the gusto with which they prosecute nato's wars. in this one over ukraine, i think for the 1st time there is not the slightest chink in the armor. it is an iron clad consensus using their control over big fact. they are literally book burning in a frenzy of cancellation and d platforming. in this part of the battle, at least, nato has all the big guns, one man and one outfit not yet still is concerned him news and its editor in chief, joe la area. joe, thanks for joining us. am i right on this? you and i are of a certain age, we've been through a lot of wars, but there is not
