funding to provide weapons for you, correct? because we might support greater sanctions against russia, a complete embargo on trade, starting with oil. and as ukraine tries to pressure you into banning russian fuel imports, prices for those commodities have gone sky. hi. i forgot what they have a nice and dec i process. go up that i got that suspense with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is archie international. i'm john thomas. glad to have you with us as we unwrap what has been happening in the war in ukraine now. intense fighting for the embattled city of marble in the done yet republic has the local army says it has taken control over half of the city from

the nationalist, ukrainian battalions. despite fierce resistance, danielle forces have been rating residential buildings going door to door to sweep out the enemy. so they say the, the, the done yet. army says the ukrainian forces, which include the reputed, neo nazi as of 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 the 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 as several 1000 ukrainian fighters are believed to have taken a position to their ciphers are believed to be hiding, and residential buildings as the combat rages on. russian forces are backing up to

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 to 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. got um a proceed. is it on a got a door nationwide. gov. its a spirit. can you sling out my all, paulina lashenay your mckee over so sneaky i need of i louise judges because i used to wish us b zach video to the d. an awkward. so to see how we're supposed to know how to start us to load, wash off doorbells and divide it as a week. i told you, brush over dinner, but i did. i still, eli nasha nationalist leonard, you know, grindsley g, void,

arms manufacturer. ryan metal expects robust sales growth this year as berlin is said to increase military spending in response to the conflict in ukraine. meanwhile, us weaponry producers are reportedly raking in a fortune or cheese kellum up and 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 wrong 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. i'm to get some 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 integrity with nato, which remains certainly the cornerstone of the territorial defense of europe. but thumb that 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 caching in on tensions over

ukraine as the u. s. pores weapons into the region. 18 members 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 ottawa's foreign affairs minister says, her country is bringing in the private sector to help 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, a war came on world war 3, shame on you know, what we spoke with that activist eve angler who says the west is trying to turn ukraine into enough chemistry 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, minced records and, and basically talk about how canada has help precipitates 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 us 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 questions. 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. 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 government accused other governors not to be credited to nasa de 1st are not at all. francesca not as page was later unblocked

facebook parent company meta has been banned in russia due to allegations that was being a 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 a president. c and all that russian politics. i think this is a very need to the survival of our may same economies because our connections with russia and, and your economy, your enterprise and the markets of russia. 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 position. 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 required is with the possible accept him, 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 pharma industry is the world's 3rd largest and currently valued at $40000000000.00. it's a major export to european markets, complying with the use strict standards and as a world leader in research in the sector, russia wouldn't 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 magazines,

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 thomas, 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 will also come forward. pakistan's prime minister in ron com has pointed the finger at the us for a move by the islamic bob's 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. today. 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 anyone. the prime minister has said entrenched corruption is that 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 team members of cons, party have actually left. he says that he would welcome them back. so we heard from 2 retired pakistani generals about the political situation in the country. barcus bond by what's your location is one going to be going to be ignored by, by the best in run it a grievance. yes ma'am. he has been taking this can take this

some time, i think the more than what is required, but so this is principles are concerned. 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 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 a policy 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've had a very bad experience when the conflict was on focused on get to go to really and will not give a base because by giving a base you are in fact getting yourself enrolled with the complex rich, the superpowers are major powers, get into with other bars. meanwhile, through all of the political maneuvering, intense fighting also continues around the ukrainian capital. the smoke in these images is from an alleged to drone attack on an educational institute in tears. local authority said 3 people were killed. meanwhile, as western media outlets save the conflict has reshaped ukraine to become a stronger democracy, president lensky tightened to the states grip on t. v. news and benz 11 opposition parties are to sort of the cost of report. what is more than 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 in the post soviet world and ukrainian leadership are constantly looking for approval in the west. if you see any of you have said how we feel like how if i a all the enemies for our freedom super, to border along all the wars with grabbing direct stat, dewey president vladimir events, he won the ukrainian presidential election with more than 73 percent in 2019 and ear 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 pro themselves and have a ton of us 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. would you got finished believe to keep him home? 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 only given the full scale war unleashed by russia in 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 say, a single information policy for all use and analyses and poles and all channels. very democratic, indeed, the worst kept saying, oh, this is normal because he, he in goals are, you know, see already missed or sanctions on these channels. can you imagine mr. bar, 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 you crania and charles ukrainians, who dare to speak up against vir cody and treatment from their government. are arrested by security services, and their fate is often unknown. one of the latest incidence 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. well and belongings decided to take the law into their own hands with the 3 digit will with google. 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 well comes why it's ruling elite since 2014 great society has been good the life itself, it has been getting more and more and of course the current tragedy and who's who ukrainian security services they use for you. they use the rush enrollment fee to go off to the government. i mean, let me remind you that just recently the president asked you to all the largest political party. great. so there is absolutely no political freedom. any political opponent now can be arrest people disappear without you know, these names on a bench or western television, but these are very well known. they just disappear. and no one cares. and of course,

such things probably being such thing says public beings. they're taking place right now. ukraine's president wants k has demanded that world leaders ban oil imports from russia in an attempt to pressure moscow into ending the war. deeply might support greater sanctions against russia. only a complete embargo on tray starting with oil. you might look at 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 has now double the cost as or 6 months ago that it can make a lot difference. and this is a substantial car. you know, because 5 paid santa is not gonna make a lot difference told when people in the grand scheme of things,

what it's 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 goldman sachs to do something them 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 that because all 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 the, from the punch of you, of a competitiveness of the, of the european industry. and then we have to find the best possible solutions to

resolve us. 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 cough re sundays, working from home and turning down the air on these efforts would reduce the price pain being felt by consumers around the world. less than 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 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 dest, 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 cov, it 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 no gets 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 every one is to make an effort. every one is to understand that we are entering a new world. and if he 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 be i yea,

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. on this in u. s. president joe biden arrives in the, in you to push for an all out oil embargo from russia. things could be about to get much, much worse. shoulders, even ski, ot see paris.
