a with you paint by the inside martial law to temporarily bad 11 opposition parties for they suppose it pro ration stand. the policies won't let me move is illegitimate video. and then at the next town i'll track it, destroyed hospital after ukrainian truth, allegedly open fire ahead from a tank with we have been sitting in the basement for more than 2 weeks. i had even lost track of what days the fighters were over here on the 2nd on 3rd force and conducted an active constituencies from the hospitals territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement. here. the fighters knew this and hundreds hit the streets of pisa to protest it to be a shipping of weapons from there to ukraine,
1:01 pm
under the guise of humanitarian aid. with hello, welcome to our to international. i'm paula live with coming to life from the headquarters in moscow. it's a pleasure to have you with us. but 1st, let's get through developments around the ukraine conflict. president flooding zalinski has extended martial law for another 50 days and temporarily banned in live and opposition parties, claiming they hold pro russian positions. chinese deputy foreign minister meanwhile, says punitive measures against moscow a counter productive and only add fuel to the fire, hurting ordinary people and disrupting the global economy. the un says there's a shortage of supplies, including food, water and medicines, in the cities of my we will pool. and sue me. russia has said more than $3600.00
1:02 pm
tons of mandatory and a to ukraine. since the start of the current conflict that says cave officials say they have agreed, 7 escape routes with the kremlin. moscow say as the evacuation of civilians is ongoing, while the ukraine is not cooperating fully on the issue. that question forces also destroyed a fuel storage base supplying ukrainian on the vehicles in the south of the country . as well as a training center for foreign mercenaries in northern ukraine. the ports are coming from ukraine's 2nd largest that he had called that at least one person was killed and 11 were wounded. in the shedding of a regional institute. rescued are now searching for survivors. local authorities accused russia of committing the task of official also reported that another alleged question, shedding incident, has left 2 people dead, including a 9 year old child. there hasn't been an immediate comment from the russian defense ministry on the matter. more than 3000000 people have fled to crane since the start
1:03 pm
of the conflict with the 2000000 having arrived in neighboring poland, thousands of refugees have been waiting in queue to receive a local id number to allow them to work and get medical care for the next 18 months, hundreds of thousands of others have gone to 100. so back here mult over and for mania, overwhelming a range of public services. people say they confir turn, because it isn't safe. hello, dawn knew those little shell. my house is still there, but it's not safe to be there. people haven't come out of the basement for 8 days. there are also some people who haven't come out since the fighting began in way through in t f. we heard a lot of shooting in our region, it was quieter, but i know that my parents couldn't leave since the beginning. so that's why i realized that we need to evacuate not to end up in the same situation as my parents who now can't leave. it says it's horrible. as we mentioned earlier, ukraine's president has cited a martial law to suspend 11 opposition parties. he claims have pro russian stances
1:04 pm
. one of the biggest parties to be temporarily banned, says the move is 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 move by the authorities as an illegal political take over and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. all well, the explanation was actually easy to predict. coming from the president, vol, dimmers, lensky, he has criticized these parties for ties with russia. ties with the aggressor as key of his constantly been saying, and pretty much he labeled the parties as traitors. but you do have to bear in mind that the list is very long, almost a dozen, and on that list, there's the 2nd strongest political force and the parliament. i mean, it has been elected by a large number of people. then besides this,
1:05 pm
again on that list, there are famous political brands such as, for instance, the socialist party. and you see if this kind of cracked down occurred anywhere else around the world, perhaps you'd hear a hail storm of critical remarks from western politicians. this time around though 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, we're right to leave the european council. what is the point of this organization if it does not fulfill its main task? when it stands aside, while observing obvious violations of ukrainian citizens writes, zalinski 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. in a from why this isn't the 1st time. that's elaine,
1:06 pm
he has been accused of side and thing. 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 used to win seats and the parliament every time. there was a general election. we could also remember how president walden was lensky only several months ago, banned as many as 8 media organizations, including tv stations that have to go on air at that time. your absurd top diplomat dose of boil said that protecting ukraine from his information shouldn't come at the expense of freedom of press and freedom of expression. so at that time, the european officials couldn't stay silent. this time around though,
1:07 pm
the situation is quite different and it's easy to guess why that it's for public residents are being hit by indiscriminate ukrainian national shilling as the forces retreat the troops and made to be open fire as patients did in the hospital basement with fighting raging around the area there under reports of injury so far, we spoke to people still trapped in the damaged building portion. children who have been sitting in this basement for more than 2 weeks. i have even lost track of what day it is. fresh and troops have finally come to 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 me. this morning is 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
1:08 pm
based here on the 2nd on 3rd force and conducted an act of hostilities from the hospitals territory. we had about 400 civilians in the basement here. the fighters knew this. the 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 cans. government is being criticized for using victims that it apparently bombed to try and get sympathy and res west spin awareness over the horrors of wall ukraine's foreign ministry used these images taken by a russian photographer in the nest. but all evidence suggests it was actually a ukrainian missiles strike on a residential area of warning. you may find the falling video of the aftermath
1:09 pm
disturbing the, the 23 civilians were reported killed and dozens wounded, including children. and this all was said to be carrying cluster munitions that are prohibited by international law. moscow, you and representative pointed out that the torch got missile. apparently deployed is not used by russian forces. ukraine, however, denies committing the attack. american war correspondent, patrick lancaster, witness the immediate aftermath of the attack me on his apartment. he says there is no doubt that this was another deliberate war, crime on unarmed civilians by ukraine's forces. and that it will happen again. i got to the location where the coach who hit less than 10 minutes after and hit
1:10 pm
because the impact location was about 200 meters from my apartment. and i immediately went there and i witness to the dozens of civilians and countless more injured. and there's no question that this was an attack on the civilian population of done yes, by great forces. it's not the 1st time, and it wasn't the last on just one day after mackenzie is hit by another cranium. rock is, there is no doubt that ukraine is targeting the civilian populations of republics. there's no ifs, ands or buts about it. and user direct attacks on the civilian population. 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,
1:11 pm
you know, this is way it was. this is what happened with just pure wise on their part. i mean this, this is on an imaginable that a government can attack civilians like this 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 refugees from the denice city of my real pull have been seen to the russian town of tegan rogue, about a 100 kilometers to the east. they have been receiving safe accommodations, but of course they still worry about relatives. they had to leave behind russian whiskers or trying to do everything to help the refugees, distributing food and water and helping transport their belongings. one woman shared her heartbreaking story. women yeah, i did do enough, both bombing caused a concrete slab to come lose and fall into my son. his father was also there,
1:12 pm
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 bartons or not. i'm afraid to imagine what will happen if he doesn't undergo surgery. the lucas for public has now re taken control of practically it's whole territory with wizard and starting to rebuild the lives of to 8 years of ukrainian bombing r t 's maria phenomena took a train that is fondly running again to the capital of the republic. we are at a railway station in the town of that bill skin, the login's, the people's republic, where for the 1st time in 8 years this suburban train is leaving today for the capital city. also named logan's, it was impossible before these journey because kia force is in control here,
1:13 pm
things 2014 saw and still see logan's gaz occupied territory. there were not many connections with that part of the republic, but today it is possible, defies in race for one week before that big fell under the control of the republican forces. and now it's one territory. nobody though. i only days with a passport issued by little guns, people's republic and clearance from local authorities are allowed on board for security reasons. of course that i may ask, has become a hug for civilians, please. the front line areas. this train is a good option for them. to go to look on her other passengers here to you, let them please. i am coming home now as 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
1:14 pm
a good thing. come alt. 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 logan's people's republic. frightened and it was indeed in style rebels. there once was a really intense shelley. we're going to my ticket now. this is how much is i take it? okay. $26.00 question robles, which is around 20 us then. yes, russian roubles are section here, but i can also play with your grades are still being used to although just 80 kilometers apart, missed that i biskin lugens 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 am moscow time,
1:15 pm
one hour ahead of keith. it's the same time in logan's. this train make 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 more towns, the trains buses restored roads and bridges will reunite these long separated areas . rafe, an ocean on party from step is logan's train. russia has said 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 his son. it comes as the you in warrens about the communitarian situation in several parts of the country. however, some states appeared to be using the cover of humanitarian aid to send weapons to ukraine. that's what civilian airport workers than the italian city of piazza accused. the government of trying to do it put in for years, refused to load
1:16 pm
a flight with alleged military cargo and italian trade union has even protested against the flights saying the public was being deceived. the cargo was reportedly to go to nato bases in poland and then be shipped to neighboring ukraine. a port staff said the arms were destined procure of neo nazi battalions about some workers at the airport where we are pieces. galileo galloway's civil airport called us saying that they had been asked to load a civilian humanitarian aid flight, but they realized that it was combat material. it was weapons. they participated in the czar battalion. these weapons were paid for with our money end up in the hands of nazis. it's necessary to make that clear out 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 who do it, but we're convinced that providing weapons prolonged the war and violates our italian constitution and our laws today. sunday. now it is move comes as dozens of
1:17 pm
countries officially send military assistance to ukraine. the latest coming from the u. s. it includes anti, i coughed, an anti tank systems, as well as other weapons in total with $800000000.00. the head of natalia political party told us that if confirmed the countries 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 that 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. the only carry out some formalities to pretend that they respect the law. we really hope that the government changes its approach and
1:18 pm
chooses policies, the respect, the real wishes of the people. don't eat meat to beat russia. well, that's the surprising method from germany's food minister, who just happens to also be vegetarian germans have been posting footage of mt shelves as consumers panic by fear in shortages from ukraine and russia. essential like sugar, cooking oil and flour, reportedly in short supply the country the food chief in. so it's all part of a cunning plan by the usual suspect moscow. we have to buy responsibly and only what we need. no one should hold anything at home. no toilet paper, no sunflower oil, otherwise prices will skyrocket. peyton's insidious strategy is that there is a shortage of products and he needs photos of empty shelf. i advise you not to unnecessarily weaponized his propaganda. despite the fact that i'm a vegetarian, i will not preach that everyone should switch to vegetarianism. but let's put it
1:19 pm
this way, eating less meat would be a contribution against mister putin. it comes after the even moved most favored nation status for russian goods, putting them on a par with those made by iran or north korea. they have already been a series of protests against sewing prices in europe. in greece, hundreds of farmers took to the streets of athens on friday to protest against drastically winding fuel and socialize the places connected with the sanctions against russia. they say they production costs are now so high that they're having to significantly cut back their businesses. the greek government has also reduced the sales tax on fertilizers by almost half and is offering other support measures that farmers say the health isn't enough. let's course live now to be until so leave a search fellow at the university of hamburg. thank you so much for joining us. our
1:20 pm
anti russian sanctions in european citizens interest. no, they absolutely are not. and the citizens know that they know that when they go to the supermarket and they see the increases and prices and they are in rage when they put a taishan like mr. mia, whose role it would be to provide security for joe and just advocate his responsibility and say that in put in for all rational. all you know, it's not, it won't be your opinion that sanctions and what the european union that we vote the most favored nation status. that is an illegal act under international law. they did it anyway. and now we need the citizens of europe and germany. we have to sacrifice their, their responsibility for their mistake. what do you think? do you think the supply shortages for europe will get worse before they improve?
1:21 pm
if they do not have back the sanctions immediately, then they will get worse. we will see an economic downturn on the lives of which our continent has never seen, and people might even stop to death in relatively prosperous europe. but it's certainly rules. the people in part of the world like in africa, was already suffering from food insecurity. be affected by this democratic politician. have to respond to the needs of his people and the people are, you cannot tell them that they should need me. and this is just ridiculous. other positions in germany. i think one of the things and this shows to me that they are not taking their responsibility here. and then of course, there's also a shortage of energy resources in europe. do you think that europe will be able to solve this problem within the next 12 months?
1:22 pm
well, i know we always see what they're trying to do. they're trying to tell everybody, but if you turn on the heating in winter, so you're not cold at home, then you are russians by. and this is the kind of your propaganda that only the nazis did in germany. and now they're putting it out and they're trying to have people take them seriously. i mean, this is just ridiculous. the government has to respond to the needs of the people and not just blame everyone back human needs like being warm unto for helping pooty. this is ridiculous and this has to stop and if they don't put a stop to themselves, then i'm sure that people will at the coming elections. what do you think is the purpose of all this anti russian hysteria? i search for the gym i. there are ridiculous sanctions, but heard 1st of all, the citizens and salvage. many people will be unemployed if industries manufactory
1:23 pm
in germany already have close to the rising prices. and if we see mass unemployment, they want to put the blame on russians is all right and fall. but the truth is, and everyone sees that it's germans and european politicians for calling this ridiculous and legal fashion. do you think there is a way out of such a complicated situation in which you're finds itself right now? yes, i do believe that we could have talked and we could take back those factions immediately . and this would need to be phenomenal recovery and would give us potential to have a diplomatic solution. but that's not what they are trying. they wall monitoring and their rhetoric is one that is really becoming more races by the day they have us leave a search for let the university of have a thank you so much for joining us here on our t. thank you. now, and the oil to soviet soldiers has been vandalized with a kid battalions. nazi logo in the greek capital vandals spray painted the infamous
1:24 pm
assault battalions was sun go fine on a monument to soviet soldiers who died liberating greece from hitches germany in world war 2. the german nazi parties, swastika variant, has been adopted by ukraine's far right. the monument has been cleared of the graffiti and dozens of weeks gathered with large banners to show their disgust, laying flowers at the site. the russian embassy and athens has described the incident as an unacceptable actor, vandalism, and court on the government to take action, to punish those behind what happened. a greek jonas told us officials must act against those who are responsible. grease doesn't support this, no not descent. marcus and a, but are you also, and of course, with those up order as offer, but are young and you have to know that to support and went to his monument and deleted all this about her as oh, so i'm waiting. i'm waiting for also from
1:25 pm
1:26 pm
. 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 on often very dramatic development. the only personally i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk. no one. no sir, no, no, admiral hook, no,
1:27 pm
no. what door, more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization. in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short. then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill. oh, you know, took production with it. so again, sure, sure good. did that they're not eligible. no new son, new rochelle. he one more mom, but she no longer thought this meant union from all one of up on there and i got all my sale. i got your name. i go on monday. i wish to know about joy. oh, new i know you didn't oh gosh, more or less than
