10:03 pm
particularly food and water. we heard from some of the people who managed to flee by, you know, during the embodiment a concrete slab collapsed onto my father. and my child, my father wasn't even taken out from the daybreak, and my child was screaming for 5 hours. he was taken out later by neighbors who brought him to us. but my father recently underwent surgery. i'm not sure where he is or whether he can walk. rushes military says it's opening another humanitarian corridor on monday and has already evacuated more than 59000 people in the past 3 days. russia has also promised to spare the lives of ukrainian forces that lay down their weapons and leave mariel. meanwhile, he has been preparing for a siege by a russian forces with residents fleeing a mass and the government, mobilizing troops, merely tele, crisco, has surveyed the aftermath of alleged strikes on the ukrainian capital within
10:04 pm
a remote one. the, the building as destroyed windows are blown out completely. cars are burned up. thank god, no one was killed. several people were hospitalized. it was intended to frighten people, but that won't happen. ukrainians are not afraid. these actions, insight, more hate and a stronger desire to oppose the aggressor. russian forces have reportedly been gathering on the outskirts of given an apparent push to take the ukrainian capital or t correspondent goods don reports from a russian army encampment there. so was come right behind rushes, positions outside key of we are literally behind the line of contact. we've come here to spend the night. and so the 1st time we're doing so, but this time we'll try to show you what it is like here. so we're going to switch to filming, and night mode, so that you can see everything because the nights is usually when it's most busy here actually. so we'll see if it holds true now as well. so
10:05 pm
here's a little glimpse into how we're going to be spending the night here. this is the back of a russian military truck several sleeping bags because obviously i'm not alone here . my crews sleeping here with me. this is my vest, my kevlar vests. i'm, i'm not going to be wearing it because it's hard to sleep instead. i think it's going to serve as a well more or less suitable philip a very heavy gun site has broken out just at the limits of our account. will be 100 meters away. so i guess was quite expect to leave the 1st time we wake up
10:06 pm
to hearing his, the incoming shots from the ukranian sabotage. and now the russians are turning to 5 normally after that, the artillery comes next. well, i guess any sort of comment would be redundant here. you could just hear everything yourself sleepless nights. for kids sleepless nights for well, troops on both sides of the front, we are going to try and get some shut eye and head back. sighting marshal law ukraine's president zelinski has temporarily banned 11 opposition party saying that they are to pro russian even accused them of collaborating with moscow. but the
10:07 pm
party say that move is illegal. well, you've got the nice pull the activities by politicians aimed at discord and collaboration will not succeed, but they will face a tough response. that is why the national security and defense council of ukraine has decided that given the large scale war unleashed by the russian federation and links between it in some political structures, the activities of a number of political parties is suspended for the period of the martial law. our case elliot botanical earlier speaking with my colleague paula switch, says zelinski decision is nothing but a crackdown on the opposition and thus an abuse of his authority. 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 takeover and a bad faith political fight against their main opponent. all. well, the explanation was actually easy to predict. coming from the president, vol,
10:08 pm
dimmers, 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 traders. but you do have to bear in mind that the list is very long, almost a dozen, and on that list, there is the 2nd strongest political force 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 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 crackdown, i guess that's the only way you can call it on opposition. parties has fallen on
10:09 pm
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. if i'm right, this isn't the 1st time that slain. he has been accused of financing. 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 at east win seats and the parliament every time there was
10:10 pm
a general election. we can also remember how present walden was lensky only several months ago, banned as many as 8 media organizations, including tv stations that had to go on air at that time. europe's top diplomat. joseph boyle 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, the situation is quite different. and it's easy to guess why don't eat meat to be russia. that's the message from germany's agriculture minister, who just so happens to be vegetarian, as he suggests what his countrymen can do to oppose the conflict in ukraine. germans have been panic, buying groceries over fears of shortages caused by the supply chain disruptions due to the war in ukraine. there have been rumors about deficits of major food items,
10:11 pm
including meat, sugar, cooking oil, and flour. the countries agriculture minister put the blame squarely on russia. we have to buy responsibly and only what we need. no one should hold anything at home, no toilet paper, no, some flour roil, otherwise prices will skyrocket. pretends insidious strategy is that there is a shortage of products and he needs photos of empty shelf. i'd by 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 this way, eating less meat would be a contribution against mister putin. the ear no longer considers russia to be a favorable nation for food supplies, putting the country on bar with iran and north korea. but meanwhile, there have been protests against the surgeon cost of food in europe. we heard from a research fellow at the university of hamburg, who says ordinary people are paying
10:12 pm
a high price for their government's positions on the conflict. it will be your opinion that imposed 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 the citizens of europe and germany. we have to sacrifice their responsibility for their mistake. many tactics in germany already have close due to the rising prices. and if we see mass unemployment, they want to put the blame on russians. it's all right and fall. but the truth is everyone sees that it's german than european politicians for calling this ridiculous and legal fashion. and people might even stop to death in relatively prosperous europe. but certainly rule people in pop up the world like in africa, was already suffering from food insecurity. be affected by this. i mean,
10:13 pm
this is just ridiculous. the government has to respond to the needs of the people and not just blame everyone bad human needs, like being wall ho for helping you. this is ridiculous and this has to stop. and if they don't put a stop to themselves, then i'm sure that the people will at the coming elections. the british government has set up a special unit to push its official positions to people in russia, including through the popular social network v k. the unit is reportedly to focus on shaping opinions about the ukraine conflict. it is also present the british governments official stances and materials included by statements by prime minister bois johnson, to viewers on laptops, tablets and smartphones. we heard from your political analyst, patrick hennington, who says western countries have been seeking to block out the russian perspective on key issues. doesn't it shouldn't surprise anybody at all after, after all, this is information warfare full on. this is an extension of the
10:14 pm
military battle space is the information warfare space and the west western countries have been engaged in this as, as has every country really, it never ends. what this is, is there wasn't enough to cancel russia. what they have to do is open a new front to target actual people in russia as well. so this is a new information front that the u. k. governments. i think there is a huge golf and understanding in this sort of liberal, progressive west for instance. and a lack of understanding of what of how people in the, in eastern countries or near east countries see themselves how they form their national identity. what their beliefs and their, their strong affiliations are their, what their world view is there, there's
10:15 pm
a complete golf there. there's an assumption that everyone in the east desires the western lifestyle. think what if britain is true to its values of free speech? if the united states is true to its upholding its values of transparency and free speech, then they should allow all viewpoints to be aired and let the people decide what's factual and what's not. and in this case, they've dispensed with that altogether and just moscow. so cave has been using images of victims of ukrainian attacks in a misguided attempt to stir up western sympathy for the ukrainian side. you came to foreign minister use these images taken by a russian photographer and done yet, but evidence suggests it was actually a ukrainian missile strike on the residential area. but of warning, you may find the following images disturbing. 23 civilians were reported killed and dozens wounded, including children. the missile was said to be carrying cluster munitions,
10:16 pm
prohibited by international law. moscow's un representative says, the touch gate you missile that was apparently deployed is not used by russian forces. ukraine has denied committing the attack. american war correspondent, patrick lancaster, witnessed the immediate aftermath of the attack near his apartment. he says that there is no doubt that this was another deliberate war, crime on unarmed civilians by ukraine's forces. and he believes it will happen again. i got to the location where the coach grew less than 10 minutes after and had because the impact location was about 200 meters from my apartment. and i immediately went there and i witness to the dozens of civilian, also lost their lives and countless more injured. and there's no question that this was an attack on the civilian population. i'm done yes,
10:17 pm
by great forces. ready it's not the 1st time and it wasn't the last, i'm just one day after mackenzie was hit by another cranium. iraq is there is no doubt that ukraine is targeting the civilian populations of the republics. there's no ifs, ands or buts about it. 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, you know, this is way it was. this is what happened with just pure wise on their part. i mean, this is on an unimaginable 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
10:18 pm
time they're going to be doing us hasn't just been supplying weapons to ukraine in recent years, but has also been training troops this, according to an investigation by yahoo news, which alleges that the ca has been secretly preparing ukrainian military units to fight in russia while the ca has yet to comment on the claims. the report says the troops were being thoroughly trained in modern warfare or to kill them up and comments. 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, not just the capacity to do it, but to know how to do it on the battlefields. 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
10:19 pm
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 ensured 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 that 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 escalate 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? 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, if you want peace, prepare for war. of course,
10:20 pm
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 conflict. and the people who are now a, so in such anguish about ukrainian lives, they didn't say anything. it's not exactly a surprise. we knew this was over
10:21 pm
a training program involving the pentagon. the cia 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. we heard from a senior research fellow at the global policy institute, who says us meddling in ukraine has been a major reason for russia to conduct its military campaign. it's not exactly a surprise when you was over the training program involving the pentagon
10:22 pm
that's been openly admitted. so the cia pause is something new. and whenever the ca engages in the cohort operations usually of bad things. and so what the story in yahoo reveals is that a russian every expectation that something was in the works that some kind of a military offensive operations storm like offensive abrasion still being the offensive in croatia. 995, the tro about the, the saw in croatia. something of the works, something like that was in the works of for the, in the spring of this year,
10:23 pm
maybe march, maybe april was never been interested in bringing the supreme they engineers of the qu, in 24 team, which is on provost of the russian speaking of ukraine, the boss of ukraine, to the voted for the younger group, which is promote them to essentially opt out of the list of who leadership in here. and therefore, it helps explain the russian thinking as to why they chose now to military leaders of even ukraine. in memorial to soviet soldiers and athens has been vandalized with graffiti depicting the logo of a reputed neo nazi group fighting for ukraine. the as of battalion logo, apparently based on the nazi wolf angel symbol was spray painted on the monument to soviet soldiers, who died liberating greece from hitler's forces in world war 2. now the nazi symbol
10:24 pm
has been widely used by far right groups in ukraine. the monument has been cleared of the graffiti now and dozens of greeks gathered with large banners to show their disgust and laid flowers at the sight. russian embassy in athens had described the incident as an unacceptable active vandalism, and called on the government to take action to punish those responsible. a great diplomat and former ambassador told us he's worried about support for ukrainian far right groups in his country. it said that that is highly of all that should be on there by everybody. and it also shows us that the ukrainian fascist, have put their feet into wish. and this is something that you want. sure, all of us are very happy from one point of view that i see anti nazi, and that's the fastest demonstrations being prepared to protest against this
10:25 pm
atrocious act, which i actually find horrible. and i did not expect that that would be done by leaks. so perhaps some of the refugees that have been traded into greece from the, from the ukraine. bye be so for this. busy busy notches, i also liked very much a statement of the russian embassy, and i think that the greek government should do everything possible to find a producer of such guns. forces have taken control of practically the entire territory of the republic, which russia recently recognized as an independent country. residents are now starting to rebuild their lives after 8 years of attacks by ukrainian forces or cheese maria phenomena took a train that is finally running again to the republic's capital. we are, it's

10:28 pm
just 80 kilometers apartments that are based in la guns 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, one hour ahead of kia. it's the same time and look on 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 taking control of more towns, the trains buses restored roads and bridges will reunite these long separated areas . ray from ocean, our party from step is logan's train. right? 31 minutes. that's when i will be back with another full of fresh look at you know, this is our to international. ah
