10:04 am
one of the biggest parties to be temporarily banned says the moves simply an illegal power grab this decision has no legitimate grounds all accusations are made up by the government to justify their inadequate actions. the only explanation for this moved by the authorities as an illegal political takeover and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. while let's discuss this live now with our correspondent elliot, the trend co, who joins me here in the studio area. thanks for coming in. and how exactly does the president justify this, and has it been any kind of condemnation as of yet from the international community . paul, well, the explanation was actually easy to predict. coming from the president voldemort lensky, he has criticized these parties for ties with russia. ties with the aggressor as kia, has constantly been saying, and pretty much he labeled the parties as traitors. but you do have to bear in mind
10:05 am
that the list is very long, almost a dozen, and on that list there's the 2nd strongest, political 4th, and the parliament. i mean, it has been elected by a large number of people. then besides this, again on that list, there are famous political brands such as, for instance, the socialist party. and you see if this kind of crack down occurred anywhere else around the world, perhaps you'd hear a hail storm of critical remarks from western politicians. this time around 0, this cracked down, i guess that's the only way you can call it on opposition. parties has fallen on deaf ears, and this is something that's been pointed out by politicians here in russia. europe, for its part is hiding its head in the sand. we were right to leave the european council. what is the point of this organization if it does not fulfill its main
10:06 am
task? when it stands aside while observing obvious violations of ukrainian citizens writes . zelinski has finally figured out the intricacies of true democracy, the most democratic president in modern ukraine has taken another step towards western ideals of democracy. if i'm right, this isn't the 1st time that philanthropy has been accused of silencing the opposition is that? well, let me remind you of a few things, for example, after the 2014 qu on my don as it is being called here in russia, the communist party was banned altogether from the cranium political spectrum. however, before that, it east, when seats and the parliament every time, there was a general election, we could also remember how president warden was lensky only several months ago, banned as many as a media organizations, including tv stations that have to go on there at that time. europe's top diplomat
10:07 am
joseph bore l said that protecting ukraine from his information shouldn't come a be expensive freedom of press and freedom of expression. so at that time the european officials couldn't stay fall. and this time around though, the situation is quite different and it's easy to guess why. if it's, it is easy to guess why drink a thank you so much for joining me in the studio here. denette for public wizard and sobbing, hit by indiscriminate ukrainian nationalist shedding. as the forces were, treat the troops emitted the open fire as patients hit in a hospital basement with fighting ranging around the area. there are no reports of injury so far. we spoke to people still trapped in the damage building was to children who have been sitting in this basement for more than 2 weeks. i have even lost track of what date is fresh and troops have finally come to help us. i manage,
10:08 am
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 going as everything burned down, i don't know how to go on living like this. i don't know who will help us, who could thank god, we're alive. mobile, i'm a trauma told us, there is a lot of work here and we work in unsanitary conditions. the fighters were all based here on the 2nd on 3rd force and conducted the act of hostilities from the hospitals territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement here. the fighters knew this. zora this summer, i have acute pancreatitis was very hard here. i went down to the basement only when the donato troops came. we slept on the floor. then when a tank opened, fired us, the ukrainian soldiers had enough hypocrisy to come and ask how we are here. if we are still alive and only then we went down to the basement on the other kids
10:09 am
government has been criticized for using victims. that it apparently bombed to try and weigh ways west and sympathy over the horrors of wall ukraine's foreign ministry. use these images taken by a russian photographer in dennis, but all evidence suggests it was actually ukrainian missiles strike on a residential area. a warning for view, as you may find the falling video of the immediate aftermath disturbing the, the 23 civilians were reported killed and dozens wounded, including children. the miss all was said to be carrying cluster munitions, prohibited by international law, special you and representative highlighted that the torture cut you missed out. apparently deployed is not used by russian forces. ukraine denies committing the
10:10 am
attack. it's now cross live to walk house fund and patrick lancaster. patrick, thanks so much for joining us now. you were there in the aftermath of the strike. what did you see? thanks for having me. and i got to the location where the search grew less than 10 minutes after it had because the impact location was about 200 meters from my apartment. and i immediately went there and i witness to be dozens of civilians, all civilians that lost their lives. and count much more injured and there's no question that this was an attack on the civilian population. i'm done. yes. by great forces. it's not the 1st time. and it wasn't the last. i'm just the one day after mackenzie was hit by another cranium rocket. there's no doubt that she
10:11 am
ukraine is targeting the civilian populations of the republics there's, there's no ifs, ands or buts about it. these are direct attacks on the civilian population. of course there's also a tax on military targets, but what we're seeing now on the screen that truck that was just shown was full of vegetables and in pupil and every one of those cars had casualties in them. and this was just a complete attack on the most populated in the area in broad daylight by ukraine forces on the civilians of done yes. x. you say there was no doubt that this was carried off by ukraine and that the target was civilians. and yet, if we look at some of the waste a media, they have been attempts to say that this could have been russia at fault. how do you respond to that? how are you so sure that we can come to those kind of claims?
10:12 am
because the, this isn't the 1st or the last time that the west lies about this. we can look on youtube even today, some of the videos that i sell them back in 20142015 are still have parts of them taken by the western eastern media in light about now. and this is just another example of how this happened. this was a cluster you made a cluster coach school that was launched from ukrainian territory on the civilian of done yes. hitting right. as you can see on the screen, that bomb rocket lane and right and ministration, noting the local administration building, done yet. and these attacks are continuous on the civilian population and civilian infrastructure. something that's been going on for 8 years
10:13 am
. a lot of the world in the west, this is just a little more going on for the last few weeks, but the fact is been going on for 8 years and you crane has been hitting the civilian population. hard in these republics. what your opinion are the nationalists forces doing in ukraine at the moment. well, days ago i spent some time in maryville and. busy i saw the fighting, that was still raging. variable is just a hot bed, right. and now there's reports that even snow and some of the destroyed apartment building that the as all the tell you was using is patients. some are still on the roofs. you've been in the areas that are somewhat controlled by dpr
10:14 am
and russia. at this point there is fighting in the street still happening, but back here in done yet, i was in variable back done yet now. and we're going to have to see how this situation developed here is done yet in the surrounding areas. because when this started weeks ago, a lot of the local here and there was going to be a big push to make the front line go farther away from done yet to make the city itself more of a safer environment. that didn't happen. as many was expected right away, but now it seems like there, there is more activity going on which includes the russian air force, the more actively involved around john. yes. now you're going to have to see how these, these next days play out. i think there is going to be some really important harden's
10:15 am
coming up to see how the situation developed. now i'm sure you'd agree with me that for ukraine to be posting tweets of grief with victims of its own bombings, which is doing is hypocritical to say the least. why. what do you think kid is trying to achieve? what's such tweets? well, they're trying to bring down the credibility of anyone that might report the war crimes that they have been committed by them trying to say, you know, this is the way it was. this is what happened with shift pure wise on their part. i mean this, this is on an imaginable that a government can attack civilian likeness and then say it was not take responsibility for it. but this is what's happening in this is the 1st or the last time they're going to be doing and wasted media. i mean,
10:16 am
they've jumped on the bandwagon. why do you think that they've been so quick to push this missed information that's because what's your mean? 3 media narrative, and that's why i try to do what i'm doing here to just give people a choice to get information on the other side. so they don't have to just rely and what's the, what's your mean through media is actually can cause i won't correspond. and thank you for joining us and stay safe there. in the, the next republic refugees from the dentist city of my uncle have been feeding to the russian town of tag on rogue, about a 100 kilometers to the east. now they are, they have been receiving safe accommodations, but they still worry about relatives that they had to leave behind. russian riskless are trying to do everything to help the refugees, by distributing food and water and helping to transport their belongings. one woman
10:17 am
shade her hot breaking story. minyard had been a composite bombing, caused a concrete slab to come lose and fallen to 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 biden's or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery. the login's, the public, has now taken control of practically its whole territory with residents starting to rebuild the lives of to 8 years of ukrainian bombing ortiz, maria phenomena took a train finally running again to the capital of the republic. we are, it's a railway station in the town of that bear skin, the logan's people's republic, where for the 1st time in 8 years,
10:18 am
this suburban train is leaving to day for the capital city. also named logan's, it was impossible before these journey because kia force is in control here since 2014 saw and still see logan's as occupied territory. there were not many connections with that part of the republic, but today it is possible if i didn't raise for one week before that i big fell under the control of the republican forces. and now it's one territory. novato. ah, only days with a passport issued by the la guns people's republic and clearance from local authorities are allowed on board for security reasons. of course that i missed has become a hub for civilians fleeing the front line areas. this train is a good option for them to go to la guns or other passengers here to either them. we
10:19 am
please, i am coming home now. i was visiting and the circumstances made me stay for longer and happy. of course that the train is now operational. but the train should go further. the connection between the towns is a good thing. but come along, i'm heading to lou ganske and then further on to my mother, i'm pleasantly surprised by this. don't you have a passport? don't you? i do. here it is, a passport of the login's, the people's republic. frightened, and it was indeed install rebels. there once was a really intense shelley. we're going to buy tickets. i was 26 question roubles, which is the wrong 20 us. yes, russian. we're both are exception here. but i can also play with your grades are still being used to all they're just 80 kilometers apartments that are basic.
10:20 am
elegans have been like 2 different countries with different time zones. currencies, flags, tv channels, mobile services, but not any more. this train departed at 7 a. m. moscow time, one hour ahead of kia. it's the same time and logan's, this train makes 6 stops before it arrives in logan's. today it's a test trip, so not many passengers, but the authorities say that the train will now run daily. with the army advancing and taken control of mo, towns, the trains, buses restored roads and bridges will reunite these long separated areas. ray from ocean on party, from studies logan's train. russia st. more than 3600 tons of humanitarian aid to ukraine. the latest batch of more than 75 tons of food and other essentials was delivered to the southern city of hath thornton. it cometh as the human warns about the humanitarian situation in parts of the country. however, some states appear to be using the cover of humanitarian aid to send weapons to
10:21 am
ukraine. that's what civilian a port workers in the italian city of pisa accused the government of trying to do a port employees refused to load a flight with alleged military cargo and italian trade union as even protested against the flights, saying that the public was being deceived. the congo was reported to go to nato basis in poland and then be shipped to neighboring ukraine. a port off the alms, wood, best. and for kids near nazi italians. i look up some workers at the airport where we are pieces, galileo galloway, civil airport, call this thing. they had been asked to load, a civilians, humanitarian aid flight, but they realized that it was combat material. it was weapons. they participated in the as av 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,
10:22 am
but we're convinced that providing weapons prolongs the war and violates our italian constitution and our laws. italy's news comes as thousands of countries officially send military assistance to ukraine. the latest coming from the united states, it includes antea croft, an anti tank systems, as well as other weapons in total with $800000000.00. the head of an italian political party told us that if confirmed the country's military shipment violates its 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,
10:23 am
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 long. we really hope that the government changes the approach and chooses policies the respect, the real wishes of the people. csc pushing any probe suggests the u. s. has not just been supplying ukraine with weapons since it began. shilling the dumbass in 2014 and investigation by yahoo! news and ledges. the c. c r a has also been secretly trading specialized, a craving military units. or that time, the report which the c i has yet to comment on. claims at the agencies operatives taught the counterparts the best skills for warfare. as ortiz caleb now pet reports ca, paramilitary forces have also been 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,
10:24 am
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 ca, ukraine program was kept secret for 8 years. some of those involved in setting it up 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 ensure deniability us officials wouldn't want to say we just had a cia officer killed by a russian in ukraine. that will put the president to the white house in a very bad position. they feared the public knowledge of the program could lead to an unpredictable escalation in the crisis. everything we did in ukraine had the chance to be misinterpreted and asking 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?
10:25 am
despite concerns, the program went on for years, the cia trained groups of radicals and preparation for conflict, a proxy war with moscow. it seems they were following the old adage and if you want peace, prepare for war. of course with 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 well for the russians. we had 8 years of 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
10:26 am
a, so in such anguish about ukrainian live, they didn't say anything. it's not exactly as bright as we knew this was over a training program involving the pentagon. the cia foss 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 the words of concern currently echoing through western media, the fact themselves speak volumes. the united states has been planning to use ukraine as a bloody battlefield against russia for years, despite any costs necessary. caleb martin, r. t. new york. joe findings press secretary has made an unusual defense of her
10:27 am
boss after he misheard or misunderstood of a porter, and then labeled russia's president. a war criminal chimp sack he claimed to biden was speaking from the hot after the u. s. president, 1st offended and then attacked vladimir putin. but the man in the white house may have forgotten his support for even more blatant war crimes. from global policeman to the world's chief judge, america's leadership is taking blame, casting practices way too far. ah, no. it is war. where did the president get his info, intelligence, defense officials. the answer may surprise you. the presence remark speak for themselves. he was speaking from his heart and speaking from what you've seen on television. no wonder why the president might be missing some context. when
10:28 am
civilians die and nato strikes, mainstream media doesn't show that much interest. ah, the list is far from complete. is the u. s. president, really that misinformed or just forgetting something? i was suggesting. bob belgrade, i would suggest that we send american pilots in and blow all the bridges home. adrena short memory is a blessing. indeed. you better watch r t. jo. we've a lot to remind you of subscribe to our channels on o. d z. a rumble and telegram or watch us on our website at r t dot com. and while that brings us to the end of up bulletin for this hour, we'll be back in 30 minutes with more on this ongoing developing. boy,
10:29 am
thank you so much for joining us. ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, 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 critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with
10:30 am
me and walk into apart their own war at the wrong place at the wrong time and wrong me . this is how the 5 star years general omar bradley advocated against extending the korean war to china in 1950 back down the american establishment heated the civilized. but 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 indian army and the editor of the indian military review general actions. great to talk to you a great to see you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. thank you and be .
