12:04 am

12:05 am
help us. i manage, at least to talk to my sister yesterday, is just genocide. it's lawlessness. they say glory to ukraine. i have nothing to thank them for everything burned down. i don't know how to go on living like this. i don't know who will help us. thank god, we're alive. noble. i'm a trauma told just there is a lot of work here and we work in unsanitary conditions. the fighters were all based here on the 2nd on 3rd 4th, and conducted an active hostilities from the hospital territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement here. the fighters knew this. i have acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement only when the dynette troops came. we slept on the floor. then when a tank open fire at us, the ukrainian soldiers had enough for pock received to come and ask how we are here . if we are still alive and only then we went down to the basement,
12:06 am
rushes military says it repelled a multiple missile attack by ukrainian forces on residential areas in the south eastern city of relatable on the friday. now, russian air defense systems reportedly shot down the 3 missiles with ukrainian missile launch system, also being destroyed, allegedly, to prevent further attacks. no, no casualties have been reported. he has yet to comment on the incident, local authority say that the city is trying to rebuild, since russian forces took control some weeks ago, are correspond. but i got to have comments on the ground. the city of mila tubal, under the control of russian forces for weeks, had just begun to come back to life. the fighting had moved on, and fear had begun to dissipate. at about 430 this morning, the city of multiple was, was woken up to 3, tremendously loud bluff that echoed all over the city as people lay the learn. these were 3 ballistic missiles torch, go ballistic missiles that were launched by the cranium military at the city have
12:07 am
multiple, all 3 was shot down in the air. unfortunately, visa, a huge things that are carry 100 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 withdrawal 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, rained down on the city, a civilian, a civilian neighborhood. there were families in both houses. corporation of my wife went flying and crashed into me, knocking me off the sofa. and then we both went flying into the walk,
12:08 am
slamming into it. that is how powerful the blast wave was. what cheers my son, he was in the room next to where it happened. miss alice had 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 rosalind 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. for now, the people that live here will have to stay with friends and relatives, mellot. opal got off light, all things considered russian air defenses are on permanent alert. if a single ballistic missile gets through the devastation would be her friend us here,
12:09 am
now the remains of yet another ukrainian torch go ballistic missile. this one 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 is another part of the me saw that was knocked down. these weapons come with very different ball heads. there are exclusive types which devastate the area there also potentially new clip payloads for this, for this miss all and also band cluster munitions. we have been told that this one
12:10 am
in particular carried cost the munitions, this is the casing of a cluster bomb cassette. we haven't seen any more. the warhead babs felt in a different area, but it does skill to show the danger that civilians here face. there seems to be no pattern who order to what ukrainian batteries attack targeted areas have little to no rush and true presence. the use of cluster bombs also suggests the goal is fear, as does the day bree of the intercepted ukrainian missiles, this is one part of what remains of a ukrainian torture who tactical police stick missiles that was launched and intercepted by russian forces launched here at the port of deb gantski ian for these miss alt wants intercepted as i mention,
12:11 am
the damage. what it could have done to the portland, cynthia work as if it hadn't been intercepted, would have been catastrophic ballistic missiles given the grave threat that they pose, undoubtedly on top of russia's demilitarization, least for ukraine. be it the easy way, or the hard way. ornaments you wonder is it gives russian forces detected where the missiles were launched from to prevent further attacks on residential areas to ukrainian ballistic missile launchers near the city of zepp. rosure were destroyed by a scanner, missiles. the increasing frequency with which ukraine has launched, ballistic missiles at civilian targets, suggests desperation together perhaps with fear of losing launches and me selves to rush and cruise me shall o. s strikes whatever. the reason add defenses on a guaranteed shield. if even a single one makes it through,
12:12 am
hundreds upon hundreds of civilians could perish in an instant. and keith is well aware or had ghastly of 40 from relatable ukraine. refugees from the done yes. consider now you have been fleeing to the russian ton of a tug on rug about 100 kilometers to the east. they have been receiving safe accommodations, but worry about relatives. they had to leave behind. rush and rescuers are trying to do everything to help the refugees, distributing food and water, helping transport their belongings. one woman shared her heartbreaking story. i mean, you're doing the bombing caused the concrete slab to come lose and fall into my son . his father was also there, but it wasn't even pulled out of the wreckage. my son was screaming for 5 hours. neighbors got him out of there and brought him to the hospital. there is no way to reach him and i don't know how to transport. my son, he definitely can't walk on his own. they said also that he had something wrong
12:13 am
with his hands. i don't know whether he can pres, bottom or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery . he popular italian newspaper this week showed a photo of what appeared to be the aftermath of a ukrainian military strength on the city of done yet, but misled at readers to believe the attack was by the russian military. this is according to russian foreign ministry spokesman, maria's honda, who accused the paper of stamp of prejudice in it's reporting the image, shows scattered parties and grieving people with in done yet with the headline quote. thus, cheer is facing a final assault. the heart of accused the publication of committing a falsification, as it apparently wasn't the ukrainian capital in the photo. italian photo journalist with substantial experience in don bus george ho bianchi denounced, left us reporting and sent a formal complaint to the paper. that's what i mean. but i think the stem for
12:14 am
newspapers openly cited in favor of ukraine against russia, and it's taking a stone against russia, encouraging its readers to think against russia. i think this is giving full information to readers, trying to manipulate them with photos and misleading news. making the reader believe that it was the russians who carried out that massacre rather than the ukrainian. the thing the angles me of this real massacre was done with the intention of blaming russians and information. italy is completely one sided where trans rebalance information in some way. but at the moment, the hope population writing on social media on the internet on websites has only one idea of going against russia. ross, a phobia is rising, going against most good, is going against russian culture against russian traditions. i believe a propaganda being made in italy's even comparable to that been created in ukraine . it is shameful. the director of the newspaper was a guest on an important italian tv program. when he was asked to talk about what
12:15 am
his newspaper wrote, the director embarrassed himself saying that the image published in his newspaper was correct. he was very arrogant. canes, foreign ministry shared these images taken by a russian photographer in done yet, sc showing the severity of the humanitarian situation. but russia's military says, it was a ukrainian missile strike aimed at a residential area. and a warning for viewers. you may find the following video particularly distressing. the it is reported that $23.00 civilians were killed in 3 dozen wounded, including children. the missile was said to be carry a cluster munitions prohibited by international law. ukraine denies committing such an attack. the u. s. is ramping up pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia, saying history will be on america side. india is the latest country being lectured
12:16 am
by the west though efforts appear to be backfiring as our don quarter comments. 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, or are you against us or message to enter any country continues to be that obviously abide by the sanctions. but that, that we are, 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,
12:17 am
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 prices have risen 40 percent this year, and india could seriously reduce its energy bills with discounted imports from russia. the u. s. even threatened india with sanctions for its recent purchase of s $400.00 missile defense systems for moscow. it's as if the white house thinks 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 upgrade 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,
12:18 am
the f. 16 this 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 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. you know, we can get a brochure on india because it's one country which has substantial relationship with russia. and that's also, you know, white teams pick, those are the economy and in national security, i mean, you can smell really well that we are not if people with a mentality, so that's the, that's just the worry here also that you feel they don't,
12:19 am
don't know. it becomes all one more difficult, it dependence on russia for india in the us national security will collapse without definition. sure. so, you know, they're talking to us on the track where there is really no far back position for south africa has laid the blame for the situation in ukraine. squarely on nato . the country's president pointed out that even the u. s. lead military blocks own bosses had repeatedly admitted that the dangers of reckless expansion right to russia's borders would cause trouble. 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. a member of the african national congress youth league, says nato's destructive motives have always been clear. we are looking at you,
12:20 am
we lead and we understand history. nato was formed in 1949 under the auspices of peace, but we have never seen nature do anything peaceful. why not puppets? of the? well, it's what we're africans. and we want to have a position and our position is that we side with the class people of don't boss who have been bombarded with ones for the past 8 years. and they don't have the luck, an opportunity to appear on a daily basis on the and, and therefore it is our one's ability to speak for them. russia is not asking us to take their site as they take a certain group of innocent people because russia has not a tech in it. no, some people russia has been going for military installations in euclid. we are not for much into taking a psycho flash out, but we are student of history and it tells us currently that clinton is correct in italy. civilian airport workers in the city of pisa have alleged that weaponry and
12:21 am
munitions are being sent to ukraine disguised as humanitarian aid. several workers refused to load. one of the fights with the alleged military cargo and italian trade union has even struck out in protest against the flight saying the public was being deceived. cargo was reportedly to go to databases in poland and then to be shipped to neighboring ukraine. italian airport workers expressed their discontent and village deception about some workers at the airport where we are pieces. galileo galloway, civil airport, called is saying that they had been asked to load a civilians, humanitarian aid flight, but they realized that it was combat materiel. it was weapons. they participated in the ass off battalion, these weapons paid for with our money end up in the hands of nazis. it's necessary to make that clear that we're in the square because we're against providing weapons to ukraine. this doesn't mean that we're not in solidarity with the ukrainian people,
12:22 am
but we're convinced that providing weapons prolongs the war and violates our italian constitution and our laws. we heard from the leader of the italian communist party, who says that supplying weaponry to ukraine would violate italy's constitution. they would come in the italian parliament discussed sending military aid and rejected that idea. our country's coming to you in western pressure is not respecting our fundamental laws in our constitution. article 11 explicitly states that the italian republic repudiate war, so by sending weapons to other countries, we break the rules laid out in our constitution. the overwhelming majority of people is against sending weapons and military equipment to ukraine. and people understand that in this way, italian officials are fueling the conflict to governments across europe do not accept people's demands. they only carry out some formalities to pretend that they respect the law. we really hope that the government changes approach and chooses policies, the respect, the real wishes of the people. just days after the conflict in ukraine started
12:23 am
ukraine's president asked for volunteers to join an international legion, ukrainian authorities have said that about to one t 1000 people from 52 countries have responded. but some experts have raised concerns about a possible influx of volunteers with far right views or to show davinsky reports. when the coal slicked in ukraine began, vladimir putin claimed that one of the objectives was the de next vacation of the country. it has the war served to increase the sort of solidarity between white supremacists. at the start of the conflict ukraine's president called for help. and that call has been, he did some 20004 voices and believe to have made their way to the conflict written region. now, while the majority of individuals who just want to support ukraine in their fight, they're all of those to have
12:24 am
a different agenda. this is not something you back in 2014. there was a range of volunteers from all over the world, especially from europe that were coming to mostly to mario, which was the, the center where also made i would even say some kind of a now to disneyland where people who have this used can exercise the ideology with immunity, whereas in their home countries, they are not allowed to even a publicly express public stream views. according to experts online, a white supremacist extremist channels, or in overdrive. they say that there has been an increase in sharing of content such as anti semitic conspiracy. theory, while
12:25 am
a telegram channel ukraine's fall right nationalist, power, military and political movement, as all has been packed with messages from across the world. from those who want to join the fight. the flurry of activity is being noted by intelligence groups. i haven't noticed this level of movement wide recruitment i cavity. see islam state declared its so called caliphate in 2014 and sat sympathizers globally to join its full among the hundreds of individuals who have announced their intent to join as of in recent weeks or several known neo nazis. now, one of is a french movement in ukraine. it's a military wing, was absorbed into the country's national guard. in 2014, it was as old that led the charge of government assaults on the self declared republics in the east of ukraine. could this bolstering old wits ranks die hard? not sees? have a ripple effect. it's long there off to the war is over. i believe that
12:26 am
after the war is over. and ukraine is the fact of the nice slide. there will be a huge neo nazi filling the ass for in the west and all over the world that will probably hold a grudge against russia. actually this kind of ideology was cultivated for some kind of the future shoulder. and this is exactly what happened now. i guess that in diaspora there will be people like this that would have logistical support, all the countries that received them. but that's something that is probably going to happen in the future. what we are seeing now is that new knob is in, is basically encouraged by nato. i'm the political wes, this propose problem for the future of ukraine. it is a country that's trying to develop a democracy. it has a bad anti semitism,
12:27 am
both through ideals, country to those of fall, right. extremists and messages being shared in neo nazi chat groups suggest support for the war isn't just about crane versus russia. these are some of the post those chance i am not defending ukraine. i am defending national socialism. this war is going to burn away the physical and moral weakness of our people so that a strong nation may rise from the ashes. our job is to ensure that conditions remain terrible enough for long enough for this transformation to happen and happen . it must. our future is at stake and we may not get another chance. certainly not one is good as this. it's not just too crazy to seen an interest from foreign fight is 16000 to raleigh to russia's cause too many from countries like syria, a concern has been raised. some of these recruits could have unpalatable links to terror groups. an even bigger worry is what happens when this war is over and these
12:28 am
form fight just put both sides, head back home. will they have been even more indoctrinated? and what consequences could that have when they apply what they've learned, and then pass that on to a new generation of recruits geology with ski r t. paris. it is a for me and the news this our i will be back with another look in just under 32 minutes. stay with us. much internet. ah ah ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation
12:29 am
. let it be an arms race move is on often has very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with ah, dominican god was signed. on february, the 12th 2015, it was meant to end military conflict in ukraine between government forces and don bass militia groups. the agreement stipulated that both sides would withdraw heavy weapons to an equal distance from the contact line. this left several 100
12:30 am
settlements trapped between opposing forces. local civilians became unwitting witnesses to and victims off the continuing civil war. thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new front line. they call this area the greys own. mm hm. it is. i think, you know, with went on with their, with bizarre jesus had caden reed, you're with bobby williams.
