1:05 am
knew this. i have acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement only when the dentist troops came. we slept on the floor. then when the tank open fire at us, the ukrainian soldiers had enough pock receive to come and ask how we are here. if we were still alive and only then we went down to the basement. in regards to republic, now controls more than 90 percent of its territory. according to rushes of defense ministry and as the front line moves forward, ortiz mary phenomena comments from the area meter by meter village. after village, after village. the login's, the republic armed forces a capturing ground, liberating people. but sometimes there is not much of a population left to liberate. like here enough scare, which borders the region of hike, of and the front line. this line says attention, children are walking to school, but they haven't been kids here for weeks. schools are closed. we searched all
1:06 am
through the village and only found 2 women. larry says, one of them was of the shipper where alive, steel, people have left their properties, their livestock, those who are the most afraid are staying. i can't lose hard people should be true to their consciences under any circumstances, whether the salaries paid or not the work should be done. larissa is a social worker before the war. she took care of several locals but all of them have gone well. oh most oh, there is one just one that larissa decided to stay here for you. i think there is no where to go. whether they are shooting or not. i cancelled his hide in the basement. come inside. look at how this elderly woman is leaving. now. hon. assertiveness. house is almost 50 years old. it's now half destroyed by shelling. the woman is twice as old and seems to be in better shape than her. her. him,
1:07 am
she brought her food bushes over there. you got sent her to me. it's scary. yes. but what can we do? nothing. those are all very good. running is the only solution for many. when we drive to the front line, civilians are driving away from it. kids in every car scared but come their parents exhausted, have no more words. it's all real know those we talked to here often say they didn't expect the conflict to go on for long . but there are plenty of signs that keith was preparing for a long battle. these fortifications by ukraine's armed forces is very tough. there could be minds on these fields, so we cannot go any further, but we can use camera to show it to you. the walls made of rain, forest concret, a deep entry way an armored door. i believe i can survive the heavy artillery attack and there are many of them like this on both sides of the road. i believe it
1:08 am
takes months to build a system like this and whoever decided to do it had been preparing for war. and this is just one location, solid force with underground tunnels and extensive networks of trenches, stretch all across the don bus region, fortifications left from world war 2 are also massively used. they have built around the towns full of civilians, which makes it extremely hard to advance. but at this point, it seems, there is no way back reef notional hearty from la ganske republic. refugees from the done yet gets it. if you will have been fleeing the russian town of tug on drugs about 100 kilometers to the east, they have been receiving safe accommodations. but worry about relatives that they had to leave behind. russian, 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
1:09 am
mean, you know, 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 with his hands. i don't know whether he can, pres, barton or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery . he popular italian newspaper this week, he showed a photo of what appeared to be the aftermath of a ukrainian military strike on the city of done yet, but misled readers to believe the attack was by the russian military. that's according to russian foreign ministry spokeswoman reeves ahead of us who accused the paper last stump of prejudice in its reporting. the image shows scattered
1:10 am
bodies and grieving people and done yet with the headline quote. thus, kiff is facing a final assault. so hot of accused the publication of committing a falsification as it apparently wasn't the premium capital in the photo and italian photo journalist with substantial expertise in the dumbass. giorgio bianchi denounced le samples reporting and sent a formal complaints with paper i saw last time. i think the list them for newspapers openly cited in favor of ukraine against russia and is taking a stance against russia, encouraging its readers to think against russia. i think that this is giving false 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 ukrainians. the thing the anger's me is this real massacre was done with the intention of blaming russians. unfortunately, permission, italy is completely one sided. we're trying to re balance information in some way. but at the moment, the hope population writing on social media on the internet on websites has only
1:11 am
one idea of going against russia. ross, a phobia is rising, going against moscow is going against russian culture against russian traditions. i believe that the propaganda being made in italy's even comparable to that been created in ukraine. it is shameful. the director of the la tampa newspaper was a guest on an important italian tv program. and when he was asked to talk about what his newspaper wrote, the director embarrassed himself saying that the image published in his newspaper was correct. he was very arrogant. you kinds of foreign ministry showed these images taken by a russian photographer in daniel 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. ah, no. a
1:12 am
$23.00 civilians were reported killed and 3 dozen wounded, including children. the missile was said to be carrying cluster munitions, prohibited by international law. ukraine. it denies creating such an attack. us is ramping up pressure against countries traditionally friendly to russia, saying history will be on america side. india is the latest country being lectured by the west. though efforts appear to be backfiring are fused on 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, to 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,
1:13 am
when the history books are written in this moment in time and support for, right, the russian leadership is support for an invasion that obviously 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 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 the 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 to just radically change its trade deals at the drop of a hat. india not only depends on russian weaponry,
1:14 am
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 one o 4 was denied to india. we're 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, who can get
1:15 am
a show on india, because it's one country which has substantial relationship with russia. and that's also, you know, white teams sick, those are the economy. and in national security, i mean, you can smell really well that we are not with a block mentality. so that's why you hear also that you feel they don't, don't know, it becomes all the more difficult in 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. this issue for us is also pushing china to join anti russian sanctions. although president, she reportedly refused to be coerced in a friday call, which is american counterpart. washington had also warned not to provide material support to russia,
1:16 am
and american lawmakers are now seeking to sanction chinese financial institutions, helping russia conduct transactions. after some russian banks were barred from the international swift financial payment system. diplomat and journalist gregory clark says the west is using the ukraine crisis to provoke china and disrupt it's warm relations with russia. china is china. so we'll put it soon interest 1st, but it's interesting at the moment lie, i think, in cooperation with russia because it's quite clear that it will not get much. corporation from america west is trying very hard to use the ukraine issue to, i should say, provoked china or to find some something guilty in the chinese response. but so far they have not had much
1:17 am
success. and i don't think they'll have much success in the future. south africa has laid the blame for the situation in ukraine squarely on nato. the countries president pointed out that even the u. s. lead military blocks own bosses, had repeatedly admitted the dangers of reckless expansion right 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. number of the african national congress youth league, says nato's destructive motives have always been clear. we are not naive. we lit and we understand history. nato, us form dimension for the man under the auspices of piss. but we have never seen nature do anything peaceful. why not puppy of the? well, it's what we're africans, and we want to have
1:18 am
a position and opposition is that we side with the oppressed people of dumbasses who have been bombarded with once for the past 8. yes. and they don't have the luck, an opportunity to appear on a daily basis on see and, and therefore it is our responsibility to speak for them. russia is not asking us to take their site as the i take a certain group of innocent did 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 not but we are student of history and it tells us currently that close them contin. it's called it in italy. civilian airport workers in the city of pisa have alleged that weaponry and munitions are being sent to ukraine disguised as humanitarian aid. several workers refused to load one of the flights with the alleged military cargo and italian trade union has even struck out in protest
1:19 am
against the flights saying the public was being deceived. cargo was reportedly to go to nato basis in poland, and then shipped to ukraine. and neighbouring ukraine, sorry. giant airport workers expressed their discontent. nephew ledge to section yeah. okay. i'm about some workers at the airport where we are pieces galileo, galileo, 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 czar battalion these weapons paid for with our money and 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, 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.
1:20 am
they would come in the italian parliament discuss sending military aid and rejected . that idea of our country's to 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 its approach and chooses policies. the respect, the real wishes of the people. just days after the conflict and ukraine started ukraine's president asked for volunteers to join and international legion, ukrainian authorities have said about 20000 people from 52 countries have responded . but some experts have raised concerns about a possible influx of volunteers with
1:21 am
a far right views. marcie shaw, it's been few reports. when the conflict in ukraine began, vladimir putin claimed that one of the objectives was the de next vacation of the country. but 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 cool has been heated some 20004 voices and believe to have made their way to the conflict with region. now, while the majority of individuals who just want to support ukraine in that fight, they're all of those. you have 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,
1:22 am
which was the center where also made i would even say some kind of a land 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 patrick street views. according to experts online white supremacist extremist channels are in overdrive. they say that there has been an increase in sharing of content such as anti semitic conspiracy theory, while a telegram channel ukraine's paul, 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 intelligent scripts. i haven't noticed
1:23 am
this level of movement wide recruit activity. islam state declared its so called caliphate in 2014 and such sympathizers globally to join. it's full. among the hundreds of individuals who have announced their intent to joint as of in recent weeks or several, no neo nazis, that was over 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 am bolstering over its ranks with die hard, not cease, have a ripple effect. it's long there after the war is over. i believe that after the war is over and the ukraine is the fact of the nice slide, there will be a huge neo nazi filling the ass for in the west and
1:24 am
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 noun, office in is basically encouraged by natal. 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 ban anti semitism, booster ideals, country to those of all right. extremists and messages being shared in neo nazi check groups suggest support for the war isn't just about crane versus russia. these are some of the posts those tracks. i am not defending ukraine. i am
1:25 am
defending national social. 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, is this? it's not just ukraine, which is seen and interest from foreign fight, is some 16000 to riley to russia's cause too many from countries like syria. a concern has been raised and 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 form fight with 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 chola gene ski or
1:26 am
t. paris does it for the new to this hour? i will be back in just a 34 minutes with another full fresh look say with us. ah, lou ah ah. with
1:27 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk for is your media reflection of reality
1:28 am
in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? tice elation whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, with

me. hello and welcome to was a part of the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time. and they're wrong. me . this is how the 5 star us general are. bradley advocated against extending the korean war to china in 1915 back down the american establishment heated the civilized, more than 70 years later, it seems to be eager to test it out with another nuclear power. can be conflict in an over your crane grow into a wider regional, perhaps even global confrontation. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a retired major general of the indian army and the editor of the indian military review. d oxy. jail back is great to talk to you, great to see. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you. and now
1:30 am
introduce the well to one of the greatest nonviolent resistance traditions. i think we all like to consider ourselves to be spiritual children of mahogany, but it's also home to one of the strongest armies in the world. and you've given that institution many years, many decades, in fact, of your life as a spiritual person. and as a general, i wonder how do you look at war? when do you find it? if not acceptable, then at least understandable? look good. but actually tradition as a traditional ideas on just when you are part of yes, well then you there is no other option that you ever just did. all right. all right . and then the other side of the board.
