republic has the local army says it has taken control over half of the city from the nationalist, ukrainian battalions, despite fierce resistance done. yet forces have been rating residential buildings going door to door to sweep out the enemy. so they say the the done yet. army says the ukrainian forces, which include the reputed neo nazi as a battalion, have been using civilians as human shields as they open fire from people's homes. reportedly. now residents have been forced to hide in their basements to escape the violence. the local airport has turned into a battlefield as be done yet. army seeks to flush out ukrainian military forces in the facility the head of the done yet the public has said that it would be impossible to take the city within a few days of several 1000 ukrainian fighters are believed to have taken

a position to their diapers. or believes to be hiding in residential buildings as the combat rages on, russian forces are backing up the done, yet were public in attempting to gain control of the city. amid dire conditions for civilians, a local official and factory director has asked the russian and done yet. authorities for humanitarian assistance. russia has evacuated more than 68000 civilians from the city they say, despite the ukrainian side, allegedly refusing to allow safe routes to russia. some who have fled have lost connections with their relatives, and are now trying to locate them. we heard from some of those who have endured the hardships of the besieged city. good, i'm a proceed. is he gonna get it done? nash my go. it's a spirit. can you sing out my all. paulina lashenay, your nikia was so sneaky. i need of i louise judges because i used to wish i was b zach video to the g. and i heard that i see of us boston up on a status to load washer dog was saying the valet does have we had to do partially of a dinner, but i did. i still,

eli nasha national solemnity not grindsley g for it. difficult really was little i thought that with campbell actually acquittal via ftp 30000000, not sure. but i figured you, we 3 over the art, i usually the idea of e a z and actually select by you with them with him to and it will be the feel your own, you know, to them, we do dba with our most a phone here. the a contributor that generally pretty it will go to the money will follow unless gord royce ill, i style you day that's only miss it's miss brad looked up bit danya b as what b? b? yes. can i be done? yes. mr. yet that is god them. yes, yes we be directly above i. that's why it's why leila would open it. awesome shanie estoppel sent the resolution. you would have been present that i was wondering if that was actually a national, green sky army person who is christian for swaniker corner rosalyn. minimize the route what this bill would be ready for the well, what would it be up and he put new fix room with his thumb. fuck this boy was

a should i thought he is still remo? walker 3 up or the mom from when i was going to german arms manufacturer run metal expects robust sales growth this year as berlin is set to increase military spending in response to the conflict in ukraine. meanwhile, us weaponry producers are reportedly raking in a fortune or cheese. caleb martin picks up the store in war, almost, everyone loses. but for military contracted corporations, a major conflict ration can be hitting the jackpot a month before things heated up and you crane the ceo of raytheon, a major pentagon contracted corporation boasted that he saw opportunity. we are seeing, i would say, opportunities for international sales. of course, the tensions in eastern europe, the tensions in the south china sea. all of those things are putting pressure on some of the defense spending over there. so i fully expect we're going to see some

benefit from it. it wasn't wrought since february 24th, when russia moved in to protect dunbar, military contracted companies like raytheon, boeing, lockheed, martin, and others have seen their stocks sore. joe biden sent a $1000000000.00 worth of weapons to kiev in just one week, and he had to buy them from somebody. plus this war has got us military corporations, some new long term contracts. germany is spending over 1000000000 euros to boost its military. it's committed to spend at least 2 percent of their g, d, p on the military, each year by $2024.00. russian president vladimir putin created a new reality with his invasion of ukraine. it's clear we need to invest significantly more in the security of our country in order to thereby protect our freedom and our democracy. shooting new commitments to buy weapons are coming in from romania, denmark, france, poland, the netherlands,

and italy. the nato countries are planning to build their own many army for western europe. we have to be able to react. and one of the ways to react rapidly is the e u rapid deployment capacity that has been agreed. we cannot act alone. we want to act in a more coordinated way among us and we want to act in a more integrated way with our partners acting in mentality with nato, which remains certainly the cornerstone of the territorial defense of europe. but some in america can smell some foul play. the war drums are beating very heavily because look, it's a great distraction from the political crisis. it rallies everybody around the military, industrial complex, and the media complex as well. what we have is, unfortunately, democrats, republicans, the mainstream media, the washington elite, essentially in the pocket of the military industrial complex, with every war and every conflict, raphael profits multiply, raytheon profits, multiply as bombs fall on schools, wedding tents, hospitals,

homes and communities living breathing human beings are being killed, lives are being destroyed all for profit. wars are government run, money laundering, operations from taxpayers. the job of the media is to make the taxpayer agree to war through aggressive emotional propaganda. people like me, russell brand and tucker carlson are enemies of the military industrial complex. sure. there is some pushback, but the military corporations have a way of wielding their influence. raytheon, lockheed martin, and general dynamics fund. something called the center for strategic international studies, paying academics big money to plan out foreign policy and advise politicians. the top 5 military corporations spent roughly $60000000.00 to lobby congress and politicians back in 2020. now that's a lot of money, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the billions they make from war. everyone in dc knows that weapons manufacturers are helping skew us policy towards militarism,

but they usually try to be less obvious. they are cashing in on tensions over ukraine of the u. s. pores weapons into the region. 18 numbers of the u. s. congress actually have personal stock ownership and military manufacturing corporations ever notice how hard some on capital hill will fight against government funding for health care for food stamps, other pro rams. we've got to stop this spending. they say, but not when it comes to tanks and drones and tools of death years ago. us marine corps general smedley, butler wrote war is a racket, describing how big corporations makes loads of money from war. what goes on today is far beyond what even he could imagine. caleb martin r t new york. canada is now seeking to take center stage in western efforts to send more weapons to ukraine. as auto was foreign affairs minister says her country is bringing in the private sector to help on cubes forces. but the top diplomat speech

at a recent conference was interrupted by a political activist and writer who accused her of provoking a global conflict. and if she was war, need a 3rd world war 3. change on, you know, we spoke with that activist eve angler who says the west is trying to turn ukraine into enough dentistry like quagmire. why hasn't the canadian government, which provides all kinds of support to the government and key? why haven't we been pushing them to incorporate the their obligations under the mince ministry cords and, and basically talk about how canada has helped precipitate this conflict from its role in, in the, my 2014 decision makers in ottawa, washington,

i very much knew ukraine as a proxy against russia, they think that the, the things are going well for the russian military. probably correct. and they would like to see something equivalent to what happened in $1080.00. and what that would mean effectively is can the u. s. and others pumping in endless amounts of weapons until the last ukranian was willing to was willing to fight and die. ministers early yesterday said that we need, we need to have insured and even more weapons in the ukraine. we're going to go find weapons from other other sources. they have completely committed to just a fueling. the conflict and italian member of the european parliament saw her facebook page taken down by the networks managers after she voted against a resolution on anti russian sanctions. we asked francesca denado herself about the reasons behind the move. they didn't explain anything they didn't even reply to my

question. i didn't absolutely agree with the user all the fans, european font for many terry and a 2 by white people and to support ukraine against russia in europe. the we are not to any longer pre to think of to say to the, to write down what we think because there is a very strong censorship against every political message as the public opinion. that is not aligned to that formally decided line by the european governments. that's the demonstration. that's why europe and governments accuse other governors not to be craddick enough for day.

first are not at all francesca. done not as page was later unblocked facebook parent company meta has been banned in russia due to allegations of deena phobia after it allowed users to post hate speech about russians over the conflict and ukraine. meta even briefly allowed death threats against russian president vladimir putin. but has since prohibited that donato says anti russian rhetoric in europe is on the rise. think that we are seeing a very big propaganda by our media that intended to demonize the president. c 3 all that russian politics. i think this is a very unique to the survival of our may same economies because our connections with russia and, and your economy,

your enterprise and the markets of russia. i blame important for all the european economic system. for usually most of all and all of these have to do that will deeply harm us. our enterprise is our life, our lifestyle, and we will pay a very big price to these insane positions. joe biden has singled out india for its refusal to follow washington's policy of condemning russia over the ukraine conflict. india, which maintains close ties with both russia and the u. s. has demanded an end to the violence in ukraine, but abstained from voting against russia in the u. n. biden says india is the only member of the so called quad security alliance of pacific countries to not comply with the u. s. approach. the quad is with the possible exception of india,

be somewhat shaky on some of this, but japan has been extremely strong seller's australia and terms of dealing with aggression. as western companies have been leaving russia, their departure has created opportunities for indian firms, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. rushes ambassador to new delhi recently highlighted those emerging possibilities for strengthening bilateral economic ties. the withdrawal of many western companies from the russian market and those nieces that have been vacated, may actually be occupied by indian companies in many industries. in particular. in pharmaceuticals. india's final industry is the world's 3rd largest and currently valued at $40000000000.00. it's a major export or 2 european markets, complying with the use strict standards and as a world leader in research in the sector, russia would be coming a lot of, you know, a lot of extra help coming from any water in relation to public health in relation

to medical tests in relation to magazine test. and india is our course ready. battery rattled, e q to every palmer particular products in relation to medical pro, back finding relation to our you know like palmer's, particularly industrial such. so i do understand that like we in the, i have gone in for a bach chase, huge amount of petroleum petroleum products from russia recently. even that is a necessity. and that is that required by the time being the pharmaceutical industry would also come forward. pakistan's prime minister iran calm has pointed the finger at the u. s. for a move by the islam above political opposition to hold a vote of no confidence against him. he says it's retaliation after he rejected a request for pakistan to host a u. s. military base in defending his position, he noted that neighboring india has been able to keep up good relations with the us

while maintaining close economic ties with russia. my country's foreign policy should be for the welfare of our people to day. i congratulate our neighbor, india because they always maintained and independent foreign policy. they have an alliance with the united states buying crude oil from russia, who are the people who roam around the country. i was asked if pakistan would give a military base to the united states. i have maintained for 25 years. neither i bow down before anyone, nor will i bow down to any one. the prime minister has said entrenched corruption is at the root of pakistan's political strife and emphasized he would not condone bribery and the government pakistan has been struggling with economic troubles in recent months. and some key members of cons, party have actually left. he says that he would welcome back, though we heard from 2 retired pakistani generals about the political situation in the country. barcus bond by what's your location is what contributes going to be ignored by why the best in roxan,

dave and yes ma'am. he has been taking this can take this sometimes i think the more than what is required, but it is, is principles of saying, i don't see that he's going to why they compromise on those principles. and that is that he has to see. and then the best in the larger in this country and he is not morally dutifully or eagerly committed to any one country just to serve their cause . i think in tell the foreign policy it has to be in on the line for odyssey based on the imagination charter, based on non interference in each other's affairs and also based on our next interest. well, there is no doubt about to do that. he happy to have a base, but i don't think they expect that focus on would give them a base. and that question has to be answered by all successive governments that

they would not give any base to america or to any other country because they have had a very bad experience when the conflict was on focused on get to got it really will not give a base because by giving a base you are in fact, getting yourself enrolled with the complex rich, the superpower, major powers get into with other bars. meanwhile, through all of the political maneuvering, intense fighting also continues around the ukrainian capital, the smoking. these images is from an alleged to drone attack on an educational institute in the local authorities said 3 people were killed. meanwhile, as western media outlets save the conflict has reshape ukraine to become a stronger democracy, president lensky tightened to the states grip on t. v. news and benz, 11 opposition parties actually sort of a cost of reports. what is modern ukraine a democracy or an authoritarian dictatorship? well,

i will let you the viewer be the judge. nothing but facts ahead. some of the world's mainstream media will tell you the key of is a prime example of a free democratic society. the post soviet world and ukrainian leadership are constantly looking for approval in the west. if you see any of you understand how we feel like how if i a all didn't and it was for our freedom super to florida and law, all the with wars with ready, direct set, dewey president vladimir events. he won the ukrainian presidential election with more than 73 percent in 20. 19 a near landslide victory was largely based on his promise to and the conflict in the breakaway republics of done nets and logans. 3 years on and, and not only did he break the promise to the people, he clamped down on any form of descent. in the government,

the most recent being the suspension of 11 political opposition parties with what he claims are russia, links free of them alone together 116 to 20 percent of the vote in 2019 parliamentary elections and most of the so called pro russian parties in ukraine, our 1st and foremost, parole themselves and have autonomous interests and sources of income in ukraine. they're trying to capitalize on the real grievances of a sizable minority of russian speaking ukrainians that are concentrated in the south eastern regions of the country. will you got finished? believe tickets for them on the activities of those politicians aimed at division or collusion will not succeed, but will receive a harsh response. and therefore, the national security and defense council decided, well, given the full scale war unleashed by russia and the political ties that a number of political structures have with the state easy to suspend any activity of

a number of political parties for the period of martial law. leticia party moving on to the ukrainian medium a year ago, 3 ukrainian opposition to the channels were shut down and to say, a single information policy for all use and analyses imposed on all channels. very democratic, indeed, the worst kept saying, oh, this is normal because he, he in cost no, he already missed or sanctions on these channels. can you imagine mr. by the imposing sanctions all abc and cbs, shutting them down, you know, preventing them from getting on. this is what this does, is it is all ukrainian, and he charles ukrainians, who dare to speak up against ver, cody and treatment from their governments are arrested by security services, and their fate is often unknown. one of the latest incidents is the detention of odessa journalists, europe catch off, who has been accused of treason and spying for asking his social media subscribers

to share information about shelling. mind you is never given any military coordinates elsewhere. the government's lack of control has created chaos in the streets. luthers have taken advantage of the police absence and started crushing stores and even people's private homes. and of those who wanted to protect their loved ones, will and belongings decided to take the law into their own hands with uh, with uh, with uh, it is very important for us in ukraine that everything comply with the letter and spirit of the law competitiveness transparency and access to justice, you have my guarantee ukraine's prosecutor general irina benedicts claims that it's important to uphold the law at all times. however,

her words are falling on deaf ears. the law is practically nowhere to be found. ukrainians have been left alone with the so called democracy, so welcomed by its ruling, elite c, 2014 ukrainian society has been brutalized itself. it has been get more and more. and of course, the current tragedy and the students who ukrainian security services, they use the they use the russian involvement as a pretext to go after the government. i mean, let me remind you of that, just the recent, the present to or the largest political party. great, so there is absolutely nobody to call them. any political opponent now can be arrest the people disappear without you know, these names from a pension or the western television,

but these are very well known people. they just disappear. and no one cares. and of course, such things, public meetings, such things, there's probably weavings that taking place right now. ukraine's president landscape has demanded that world leaders band oil imports from russia in an attempt to pressure moscow into ending the war people. they might support greater sanctions against russia, only a complete embargo on trade starting with oil. the 3 might 0 got it, but it seems the already harsh sanctions against russia have been hitting european consumers in their pockets as prices for fossil fuels have skyrocketed. here's what londoners have to say. here's what they're marked as a, as a my sion dec i process go up and i got that substantially. my tank is now double the cost as of 6 months ago that it can make a lot difference. and this is a substantial car, you know, because 5 pates and pay is not gonna make

a lot of difference told when people in the grand scheme of things is going to be to off, it's gonna be worse and tougher and we have no, i don't, i would definitely need to plan on the older man's and to do something them that have to stand for, you know, the people who are going to be in trouble. michelle. and it seemed that european leaders are not really sure what to do. a vice president of the you commission says they haven't come up with the best solution to be have huge will at the letty or not of the energy energy market. and so that because all 4 of the high gas prices, so the overall impact on the energy prices. so the to mental to, to the, from the point of view of energy, poverty detrimental from there, from the bunch of you, of a competitiveness of the,

of the european industry. and then we have to find the best possible solutions to resolve. it's as the pressure mounts on european consumers, there governments are also looking for ways to reduce dependence on russian fuel imports or cheese. charlotte davinsky examined some rather controversial suggestions. the impact of the war in ukraine is having far reaching consequences. as price rises, hit the energy sector, suggestions as to how we can all would do you saw dependency are coming thick and fast. the latest is from the international energy agency. it's suggesting 10 ways to cut or usage. these include call free sundays, working from home and turning down the echo on these efforts would reduce the price pain being filled by consumers around the world. lesson, the economic damage shrink rushes hydrocarbon revenues and help move oil demand towards a more sustainable pathway. how cool people will be to take such measures though,

is another matter. now the i, he a says reducing speed limits on highways by at least 10 kilometers per hour will help in france. that is not likely to go down. well, when the government decided to drop speed limits in 2018, in a bid to cut road deaths, the french were not amused. in fact, the issue was taken up by the yellow vest movement that was sparked initially by taxes on fuel. mm. and just as you probably gave a huge sigh of relief that 2 years of enforced solitary home working due to covina was at an end. no too soon. the i hear you suggest that home working for up to 3 days a week would cut down on fuels used in your commute,

although perhaps not so great for your heating bills, which of course you pay for. and it's not just the i e that has nuggets of wisdom about reducing energy consumption advice about wearing a few extra layers could be about to make a comeback. politicians demand that we turn, the heating down to everyone is to make an hour. everyone has to understand that we're entering a new world and they thought that was bad, spare a thought for our pena. the government is implementing enforced power cuts in a bid to deal with its energy crisis. starting from 12 o'clock at night, the municipalities will be asked to stop the lighting for those matters that are not necessary. we will turn to imports as we will need to consume as little energy as possible, so as not to run out. if you're a car owner, you know how much filling up at the pump is really hitting your wallet right now.

so how about caught free sundays? this would the i. e, a save some $380000.00 barrels of oil per day. great. if you live in a city with accessible transport networks, however, not so great. well, if you live in the middle of nowhere, and with cause being seen by many as being a basic right that may not be popular, motorists are as well continuing to protest over the cost of fuel fuel for one taxi working more than 60 hours per week costs $400.00 to $600.00 euros per month. so the government is proposing to raise ride fairs by 3.5 percent. but we don't want our clients to have to pay those costs. they're already struggling to make ends meet. if oil prices don't go down, we won't sort this out. and this u. s. president joe biden arrives in the,
