about their own country and you create a nato publicly misled russia into believing the blog was prepared to accept ukraine as a member, despite privately telling here they cannot join the u. s. lead alliance admits president the landscape. it is all these large caliber also try to resolve both what the board of the shippers for transport troops of heavy equipment. we report from ukraine, key port harbor dans recently captured by the russian military. now they use full humanitarian relief efforts to help civilians in the embattled city of mario and farmers. charcoal van trade unions take to the streets of europe to protest

against storing prices as a result of sanctions imposed on russia by the interview. ah, i will welcome your watching artie international. it's good to have you with us as go straight to the latest developments around ukraine, president for lensky. se nato had previously refused to accept ukraine into the alliance, but still kept telling russia that the door was into the u. s. lead block remained open for keith. meanwhile, zalinski has been slammed by some israeli officials off the he compares the ongoing conflict in ukraine to the holocaust and cold on televi to put pressure on moscow. plus the e. u is reportedly discussing and embargo on russian oil imports as part of a 5th package of sanctions against moscow, over its military operation in ukraine. when nato's refusal to rule out

a few cranes, membership in the block is to blame for the conflict with russia, which could have been avoided. if only the u. s. lead lines had made it will position on ukraine clear to moscow. that's the take away from presidents lensky, the latest interview to western media. i requested them personally to say to say direct please, if we're going to serve you in to new york or nato in a year or 2 or 5. and the response was really clear. you're not going to be in a tour member, but publicly was the doors will remain open. so basically, it turns out that there was a chance of avoiding this conflict altogether. zalinski saying that nato has essentially been bluffing about the possibility of accepting ukraine into the military alliance. all this time comes as a real shock. basically, the west could have potentially stopped this whole situation of an escalation of tensions and 2 armed conflict between russia and ukraine. if it just told moscow

the truth, and let's not forget back when joe biden was actually a senator, he also warned against the further eastward expansion of nato, he said it could have possibly lead to an open conflict between russia and the west . and in $1090.00 nato actually promised the soviet union, but it would not expand any farther east than the older river in central europe. and since the western media began its hysteria, campaign late last year, russia's main negotiating point has been to hold the military alliance to its promise. lucille new conflict with juno, one's owns conflicts of bloodshed. we want to resolve the situation by political and diplomatic means. we should at least have some clear and understandable legal guarantees. this is the purpose of a proposal which has been written and sent to brussels and washington time and time again. moscow has said that accepting ukraine and to nato would be a violation of several treaties of the council for security and cooperation in europe. agreements that specifically states that a country cannot enter military alliance at the expense of another country's

national security. in response to this washington just called that a non starter and negotiations. and of course, moscow itself was not very happy about that. and he will not. they literally put the principle of freedom of choice, of alliances at the forefront, completely ignoring the conditions that were agreed at the highest level on the inn admissibility of infringing on the security of other states. most of the incident has been a negative response to our security proposals about the non expansion of nato eastwood. this cannot satisfy us. they maintain the rights of any country to choose join and change alliances. it's non negotiable. after zalinski is recent statement, we now know that ukraine never had a real chance to become a member state of nato. but if russia knew that it's very possible that diplomacy could have diffused this situation that's exploded into a serious escalation. and the don boss conflicts that are already been going on for some time now. instead, nato just decided to tease everyone. basically, bagels door remains open. a large amount of night thought has been

a great success that helps to spread democracy freedom. we will not compromise on our core principles. now, one more thing that's a bit embarrassing for zalinski is that he just kind of laid down and accepted. the west's rejection of what was one of his government's main goals. and when these hostilities with russia broke out, the washington said no to sending troops that said no to opening a no fly zone. it basically said no to any serious direct help to ukraine and basically left to fend for itself. the shelling of a shopping center in care of on sunday left at least 8 dead. according to the capitals man. the building was left chart and smouldering with daybreak littering the area. you training emergency services, they quote, enemy fire, cause the destruction rushes. defense ministry says the shopping center was being used as a base for storing ammunition and reloading rocket systems by ukrainian nationalists,

and was therefore targeted with high precision weaponry. russia has repeatedly accused ukraine of using civilians as human shields. meanwhile, ukrainian forces in the embattled southern city of mario pole have refused to surrender. after the russian military offered them to lay down arms. moscow. se is the local bank. so thorough teeth have created a humanitarian disaster. as an estimated 130000 civilians remain trapped in this city amid intent shelling and gunfire. the numerous buildings have been destroyed with civilians for to shelter in basement small struggling to obtain food and water due to disruption of supply chains. despite daily attempts by the russian military to secure safe zones for residents to evacuate moscow, phase caves forces have been effectively holding local hostage,

preventing many of them from leaving mario pole. some of those who have managed to escape shed their harrowing experience when the troops were on the move, they started shooting through the fence. my grandmother and i was wounded. she was hitting the leg in me in the arm and we ran into the cellar. 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 from 60000 people reported a managed to evacuated from the embattled city over the weekend rush. his military said it's opening more humanitarian corridor with the leading into ukraine and across the border into russia. in spite of moscow's initiative to, to find safe routes for civilian crane has emphasized this is will continue to

fight for the city, which is a strategic port hub of the dispute. don. yes, region of the country the some of the relief efforts to help civilians in mario polo now coming out of the port hub of the answers. the site was recently taken by the russian military, off the local ukrainian forces fled without a fight on board john c. i've gotten exclusive look at the operations there by land, air, and now sea russian troops continued to advance and reinforce into ukraine. these is a unique sight, a russian naval armada at a port which ukrainian troops had abandoned without a fight, leaving its facilities entirely intact. the as of sea with its ports and towns, is now 100 russian control. all save several districts and the coastal city of mary jo pal, which has allowed russia's black sea fleet and the ost landing ship to stage this

operation translated from russian. this is a large marine ship code named alligator by nato. it is harmed, the sludge caliber, odo cat and for example. but the point of this ship is to transport troops and heavy equipment. it can fit as many as 20 tanks or 40 armored personnel carriers along with hundreds upon hundreds of troops. this conflict needs one of the most intense in recent decades. both sides of leverage, sophisticated and highly destructive weapons for rushes, operation to succeed. it is paramount. the troops supplied and reinforced non stop, but which, which are liable here is a milestone event, or it opens up completely new opportunities for the black safely to use existing ukrainian infrastructure for our logistics operations. this logistics operation is

not only geared for fighting. it is also humanitarian. millions of ukrainians in liberated territories must be fed and supplied with the essentials. just kilometers away. thousands of scared and battered refugees pack the roads leading from mary opal. the russian military has set up camps for those who want to stay and supplies fuel for those who wish to drive to. i mia all elsewhere off of what they had been through popped up what ukrainian nationalists had put them through. they need the help says the property was of, there is no fuel in mary, you, paul. all the fuel was stolen by looters and one of the root was difficult. there are no roads. the bridges have been blown up. the city itself no longer exists. this is a chance for people to go somewhere wrong. we're really thankful it is a little in the root was difficult. there was no green zone, but we drove at our own risk. so there were

a lot of dead bodies and blown up cars along the way. a petrol is now more expensive than gold. you can't go anywhere without health. i'm thankful for russia's help. i'm very thankful you hiding among the refugees. i'll ukrainian military desert as they all say that once they caught. but it is feared that some may be lying and may have other goals such as the staged terror attack. so acts of sabotage in liberated areas. the units commander told us in a message to change into civilian clothes, joined the civilians, get into the vehicles, taking them out or simply joined the civilians in the green zone and leave mary all without us go on. we joined the civilians who were being released from the city and left with them. many have been identified. not all wish to appeal camera. whether or not that telling the truth will be up to russian law enforcement to judge that here. enforce center d not supply ukraine. that and to bring those nationalists said neo nazis

responsible for killings and atrocities. to account for i guess the of o t from dusk, ah, the u. s. is reportedly increasing supplies to saudi arabia patriot anti missile intercept his, which have been used by we are in the devastating wall in yemen. a pentagon supplied the saudi coalition since it began its military intervention. and yet they came to the rebels in 2015. according to the latest numbers between 2017 and last year alone, washington is delivery of major weapons to the saudis show up by 106 percent. while another key western supply, the u. k is said to have license more than 20000000000 pounds and weaponry sales to react since the start of war in yemen. which is prime minister recently traveled to saudi arabia for talks on energy security and ending the case reliance on russian

oil and gas for the forest. johnson's critics have slammed him for the move, so i see the issue of human rights violations in saudi arabia. the western support will react to military efforts in yemen has been accused of conjugating what the united nations calls a humanitarian crisis and the war torn country. we should warn you. some of the following images may just be distressing. however, he went house so far managed to raise belly, a 3rd of the sum required for humanitarian crisis management in yemen. this year with saudi arabia and the united arab emirates among the top 3 donors last year. not providing any funds at all this time. the un say such a failure in pledging to do to the ongoing conflict in ukraine and michelle omar, the red cross, spokes person on yemen, believes the shifting of global attention may cause devastating consequences. the world is shifting attention to word or other conflicts in like the conflict in

a few, we are like more recently the conflict in, in no crane and they are and we call the international community at the, to the powerful countries tune not to abandon the crisis in yemen, any you know, in a shift in attention from the conflict in them and that would lead to get to strong results. and the, the civilians across the country will fill it in the near future. if the world doesn't pay more attention to the light of year, many people around $20000000.00. yeah. havanese around 2 thirds of the country's population already require humanitarian. 8 and our food insecure. the share. i'm our again says yemen cannot come without international humanitarian assistance. this situation will lead to, to aggravating the situation, the humanitarian situation of, of, of 1000000 albia many people across the country. i,

a millions of families in yemen are relying on international organization to provide them with food and then food items. i mean, if you will, if you see the whole picture of the humanitarian situation in yemen, we see like 20000000 r b m. many people are in need for you minute period assistant. we have more than 60000000 of many people who are food in c q and we have like 4000000 women and children are mal norrish. we have also 70000000 the many. they don't have access to health and the water and sanitation across speaking through the country is bank shining with 50 percent of of widths, health facilities and capacity. therefore, any shortage in the fund would, would, would really, would greatly deviate the, the humanitarian situation in the country. is where the

lawmakers have reacted with horror at the ukranian presidents bids compare the current conflict in his country to the holocaust. in a speech to the israeli parliament, lensky claimed russia wanted to exterminate all ukrainians like the nazi plan to do to jews. israel has maintained a neutral stance towards the conflict. switzerland skis outburst was branded outrageous with m. p. 's pointing out ukrainian ultra nationalists, masika thousands of jews and the 1940s shall know that. but the answer is still up to you. dear brothers and sisters, and you have to live with this answer, people of israel, ukrainians made their choice 80 years ago to save jews. that is why the righteous peoples of the world are among us, make people of israel. now you have such a choice. his criticism of israel was legitimate, as was his raising expectations of us, but not his infuriating and ridiculous comparison to the holocaust in his attempt

to rewrite history and to erase the role of the ukrainian people in the attempts to exterminate the jewish people. the war is terrible, but the comparison to the horrors of the holocaust and the final solution is outrageous. war is always a terrible thing. but every comparison between a regular war as difficult as it is and the killing of millions of jews and gas chambers as part of the final solution is a complete distortion of history. a speech the lengthy psych at his jewish heritage alleging that ukraine saved jews and world war 2 and is welsh, now we pay the debt. that's a holocaust historian said. ukraine, you should be ashamed of when it did to james and won't go to not proud to him to say only a craney cell juicer. now of course is a gross distortion of historical record because far more ukrainians may participate in the mass, murder of jews during the holocaust than those who held as a completely source false comparison is no question that there is

no similarity. ah, we're not talking about the same things. the invasion is not, well, of course the invasion is an act of war. ah, what crimes being committed, but that is not the holocaust, these phenomenon of those, these 1st comparisons and not only least in europe, i mean eastern europe, notorious for these things. but throughout the world, derek church by various people have a cause. who want to attract attention, one would listen. one list of in other words, contributions. they claim that the issue that they are representing is similar to the holocaust way. this is actually a tremendous compliment to the people devoted their lives to try to teach, educate the world about the holocaust. it's important lessons of our course and all

of that. and basically, the reason that people want to compare themselves to the house was because many people know, well, we understand that how close was the worst tragedy in the annals of brand car. the u. s. is stepping up pressure on china to condemn russians, military operation in ukraine, enjoying sanctions against mosca beijing, as they fall, remain neutral on the conflicts while calling for peace and restraints. china's ambassador to the u. s. a. is the crisis is more difficult to so than it's made out to be in the west. don't be naive condemnation. it sounds naive to say that's not a vision and that doesn't solve the problem. and he's president sheet in pain, clarified his country's position on the issue during a video call with us president joe bite. and he said that china has always been a force, the maintaining world peace. i'm will what to achieve pace,

rather than sending weapons to any side of the conflict. down to eats meats if you want to be russia. thus the message from germany is agriculture minister, who just so happens to be a vegetarian, as he suggests what his countrymen can do to oppose the conflict and ukraine. germans have been panic, flying groceries. every phase of shortages caused by supply chain disruptions due to the war and ukraine. the panic is being stokes, by rumors and reports of immune and food deficits, despite the sanction being a post on russia by the e. u. germany is agriculture minister has put the blame squarely on last. we have to buy responsibly and only what we need. no one should hold anything at home, no toilet paper and some flower roil. otherwise, prices will skyrocket, pretends 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 this way, eating less meat would be a contribution against mr. newton. the you no longer considered russia to be a favorable nation for food supplies, putting the country on par with iran and north korea. we had from a research fellow at the university of hamburg, he said, ordinary people are paying a high price for that. government's positions on the conflict. it was the european union that imposed sanctions. it was the european union that revoked 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 mistakes. many factors in germany already have closed due to the rising prices. and if we see mass and environment, they want to put the blame on russians. it's all russians fault. but the truth is, everyone sees that it's germans and europeans. politicians fought for imposing this

ridiculous and legal actions. and people might even stop today in relatively prosperous europe. but certainly will see people who are a part of the world like in africa who are already suffering from food insecurity. be affected by this. i mean, this is just ridiculous that government has to respond to the needs of the people and not just blame everyone to have human needs, like being warm at home for, you know, helping to teach. 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, storing prices for food and feel due to the harsh sanctions against russia. respond to protest, surround europe with thousands taken to the streets, events there and go about the spiraling bird and corresponding shell, a different schema for the more and ukraine is already pushing up the energy costs

across europe. whether that's impacting the price of fuel fuel costs for gas and l interesting homes and businesses. and there are also shortages of agricultural basics such as fertilizer. all of this is driving up the cost of food pretty much across the board. now in, you don't have been protests over the last few days, people taking to the streets to demand. so they governments, we saw in spain immigrate thousands of individuals on the streets that were growing social discontentment. over the spiraling cost of living in germany and italy, $2.00 truckers were out on the roads. they were furious over the price of petrol, saying it's pretty much putting them out of business and increase farmers voice stay concerns over the anger of high production costs, which are a result of the sanctions. we demand that farmers don't pay for the war in ukraine

. most fertilizers are imported from russia and bella rues, and we don't want farmers to bear the increased costs. we want the production cost to be cheap, so we can cultivate our fields and feed our animals. he will interested you, cathy, from them. this isn't justified. speaking about a war is something different, the fuel price hawks are unfair and unrelated to all. this is something else about with all away about all it takes on that on what it's outrageous for politicians to destroy our transport business with pointless taxes. and if you take into account a fuel price of more than 2 euros, with a euro, 60, or euro 70 in taxes, like on think they destroy our entire existence. they destroy us. that's it lies and deceit law to hold it management. now they said course is likely to heat quite low pressure on politicians. and from the you have at least until the last few days shown, this pretty solid wall of strength as they've been bail sanction of the sanction against russia because of that invasion of ukraine. but the cracks are beginning to

show are we peered from poland and the baltic states were really keen for what they describe is the maximum pain against russia, against the kremlin, than other e. u countries such as germany, italy, and hungry. i seem to be pretty wary about this and for those countries that want this pro punishing faith round of sanctions. they say that all trade with russia must end. poland is proposing to add a trade blockade to this package of sanctions as soon as possible, including both of its seaports, but also a ban on land trade. fully cutting off russia's trade would further force russia to consider whether it would be better to stop this cruel war. well, that might not work for countries such as germany has a big issue because of its heavy reliance or russian energy imports. and even the country's economic and energy minister has recently wound cutting energy supplies

just immediately overnight would bring mass unemployment. and it would also bring poverty to sensual is the use economic engine at, with the suggestion, as a result of that, people would just simply be unable to heat their homes. and that's something that they don't want to see. we have heard that germany has been assigned a new deal for a gas with cattle, but duck kind of and you won't take of the dependency on russia immediately, so that's not gonna happen overnight. then elsewhere in the you've been seeing specific swore pals between countries take france and spain for example. the 2 are apparently locked horns over this ideal plans for new gas pipeline at that wouldn't link 2 countries at these plans and previously been put on, i seen as being unprofitable, but they've been raised again as a result of the current war. but as that views change, spain, the ease, husing,

francis dragging its heels when it comes to the investment that's needed, that pipe in the same way that we have been struggling to accelerate electrical interconnections. what cannot be is that the pressure to accelerate this infrastructure stays from the pyrenees down. because on the other side of the pyrenees, a fairly large investment as needed to connect that pipeline of gas to the trunk system. and the use also having a bit of trouble when it comes to seeing eye, to eye over who should be on the sanctions list. now we know that the u. k, which is not in the you are listed oligarch, am or leg derek pasco, on it's lists at, but the use decided not to follow see to why you may be asking whether it's been suggested that the founder of the major metal producing e n plus group has got huge assets in countries like austria and also in cyprus and there are concerns freezing his assets could actually have repercussions that

so not so keen to do that. sanctions have to be approved by all members of the block. if one says no, the sanctions don't go ahead. and what we're really seeing now is after that original strength, there is now a limit as to how much pain individual countries want to endure as a result of the war and ukraine. my thanks for keeping us company here in our theater, national. if all the latest updates you can check our website, our team dot com, but we will be back in about 30 minutes with the latest se, then ah ah, started rushes, military operation, ukraine. the west has taught at russia and russians,

russia side of the story is essentially absent and intentionally. so on this edition of the program, we talked to pre eminent russian scholars about their own country and ukraine. ah ah ah oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such shorter is at conflict with the 1st law. show your identification, we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is

to great trust or rather than fear i would like.
