a with the u. s. is upping pressure on nations that refused to rule out any friendly ties with moscow. india being the latest to get lecture down threatened by washington. weapon is 500 meters of a designated here. there would not be left of the building behind me. we travel to the southeast and ukrainian city of melissa pole, which despite being under russian military control, still faith you premium ballistic missiles getting through it most go and k f struggle to come to an agreement on key issues. i have resolving the ukraine conflict, not as fighting continues with reports of civilian casualties and destruction of
5:01 pm
residential areas. we sat in the basement for a week, hiding from the shooting, with thank for joining us aeronautics international where it's just turned 9 pm here in the rushing cap. so our top story, this, our, the us is ramping up pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia, saying history will be on america's side. india is the latest country being lectured by the west, though, if it's appears to be back firing, as ortiz told, quarter reports, neutrality is just not good enough for washington anymore. has the ukraine conflict raises on an india considers buying discounted russian oil? the white house is telling the world to decide, are you with us,
5:02 pm
or are you against us or message to enter 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 i would rather stay out of the whole thing. but china is already on the wrong side of history when it comes to, to ukraine and the aggression being committed by russia. that's 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 prices have risen 40 percent this year, and india could seriously reduce its energy bills with discounted imports from
5:03 pm
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 u. s. is offering is the f. 16 fighter aircraft re branded as the f 21. the f. 16 is obsolete from the unimportant view we went for the mig 21 in the 1900 sixty's because the f 104 was denied india were seeing the same kind of thing. on the other hand, it's not for nothing that india is enjoyed friendly relations with russia for so long. over the past 69 years, new delhi and moscow have only diverged
5:04 pm
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. busy substantive relationship with russia, and that's also in that whitening pick. those are the economy and in national security, i mean you can smell reading well that we are not with a lot mentality. so that's the, that's just the worry here also that you don't, don't know. it becomes all one more difficult, it dependence on russia for india in the us national security will hold ours without definition. sure. so you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back decision

for him. the u. s. is also pushing china to join anti russian sanctions. so president, she apparently refused to be coerced on a friday call with his american counterpart. washington has also warned not to provide material support to russia and american law makers now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions, helping russia conduct transactions after it was barred from the international swift financial payment system. diplomats and journalist gregory clark says the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disrupt is warm relations with russia. china, china. i will put it in interest 1st. but his interest at the moment, i think, in cooperation with russia, because it's quite clear that it will not get much corporation from america.
5:06 pm
the west is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to how she would say, provoke china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but her so far they have not had much success. and i don't think they'll have much success in the future. south africa has lay the blame for the situation and ukraine squarely on nato countries. president point sounds, even the us led military blocks and both is had repeatedly admitted the dangers of reckless expansion rights to russia's border. the war could have been avoided if nato had heated the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less instability in the region. elanda of the african national congress is
5:07 pm

5:09 pm
was woken up to 3 tremendously loud bluffs that echoed all over the city. as people lay to learn these with 3 ballistic missiles torch go ballistic missiles that were launched by the cranium military at the city have multiple, all 3 was shot down in the air. unfortunately, visa a huge things that are carry hundreds of kilograms of explosives. so the wreckage hasta fold somewhere. in this case it was on these 2 houses. this miss all by the way is the same type that was used in dan yet, sc lodged on the nearest city causing more than a dozen casualties. there mostly pensioners who are in line at 80 ems to withdraw their pensions. as you can see here, there's also shrapnel damage and on this car, elements of the war had, must have survived. as they fell here,
5:10 pm
rained down on the city, a civilian, a civilian neighborhood. there were families in both houses professional when my wife went flying and crashed into me, knocking me off the sofa. and then we both went flying into the walk, slamming into it. busy that is how powerful the blast wave was, which is yours. my son. he was in the room next to where it happened. we saw said impacted, intact. nothing would have been left of these houses. fortunately it was. they breathed rain down on the roofs. and the houses burned up rather than rather than exploded. but this is an especially sorry situation, even though nobody died, nobody was hurt because this is a desperate time for many and in ukraine. these difficult to come by funds because most of most enterprises and businesses are currently shut
5:11 pm
for now, the people that live here will have to stay with friends and relatives melody. apple got off light. all things considered russian air defenses are on permanent. the love, if a single ballistic missile gets through the devastation would be her rendez. here are the remains of yet another ukrainian torch, go ballistic missile this one half that that fell or was shot down. just shy of beard dunc city. over the last few weeks, we have seen the ukrainian side launching more and more of these ballistic missiles and towns and communities here in southern ukraine. the radius destructive radius of this weapon, he's 500 meters of this, had designated here. there would have been nothing left of those buildings behind me. here's another part of the me saw that was knocked down these weapons. come
