ah, ah ah ah, russian forces begin clearing huge mine fields that have already claimed the lives of many civilians after they were left by ukrainian soldiers. our correspondent reports on the ground is seemingly an ordinary ante plank mine visit. this is what, what's known as a mine with a surprise. the thousands of people finally escaped from. are you paul? one of the most contested cities in the day republic artsy visits, the refugee camp, and here's from people about their flight and their hopes for the future. this is and notice board right here where people are leaving a note or some of them say i'm looking for my mom and some of them say i'm looking for my father,
1:01 am
my grandmother and my sister. also coming up we load bike on nato's bombing of yugoslavia. which started 23 years ago today. the s drive lasted for 78 days, killing hundreds of civilians. ah. from moscow to the world. this is archie international. i'm peter scotts, and these are the top stories this hour. that's exactly one month since russia begun, it's offensive in ukraine. moscow claims more than $4000.00 sides of ukrainian army infrastructure have been destroyed in the areas where it's retreating. the ukranian army is leaving behind large mine fields which posed a huge threat to civilians are seized. rutgers deer visited once a chair in the harrison region where russian suppers are working to neutralize the devices. weeks after russia's special operation began. here in ukraine, russian sappers and engineering brigades are still clearing mine fields left behind
1:02 am
by ukrainian troops. we're talking here about a thousands upon thousands of anti tang can to anti personnel. mind this mind clearing vehicle behind mit is about to go on a new route. 80 years ago, this was sleepy farm land. in the years since ukrainian sappers turned it into a death trap soon with mach cobb gardens of mines. and if that wasn't bad enough, ukrainian forces left deadly surprises behind the complicates any de mining operation. this is seemingly and an ordinary anti tank mind, but what is it? this is why, what's known as a mine with a surprise, because on the top you have an anti task find that is now ready to be destroyed. underneath you have the surprise, another mine
1:03 am
a lesser charge. so what this is intended to do is to kill sap us who have no experience, perhaps new, perhaps less than capital and cancel the mine below is supposed to blow sap up, tries to remove the anti tank on top of the day in day out the air reverberates with blast after blast the only safe way to remove a booby trap line. so here is to lay a charge on top of the mind. to tie a cable to the mine underneath a yank it, and to cause a detonation at a safe distance. mine fields are relatively straightforward in comparison because ukrainian forces have picked up a new habit one perfected in syria and iraq. another striking thing
1:04 am
about ukrainian military tactics is power. remarkably similar, they are. what syrian rebel, the jihadists employed, that is blood thing, improvised explosive devices, along roads and highways, used by the russian military, but also by thousands and thousands of civilians already hundreds and hundreds of tons of rows of have been found and the sob every day, more and more ideas of found and destroyed. they can be anything, an explosive charge, buried and nuts and bolts, a mortar round, who even at tank shell like fix one with us, full santa from us if you need an i dont going of course i forgot each
1:05 am
us eve war wouldn't when each dessert with it, there were 3 kilowatt mccloud, neu charge comparing sessana. 50 seconds is how long we had to get safe, which is when the fuse was set to blow 50 seconds. but there you go. these particular tag has now been destroyed. all of this in just a few hours with just one sap, a unit in just one ukrainian province. miss jordan. she is in as of today we have identified and destroyed more than $12000.00 explosive objects, some of which were a foreign origin. in all likelihood, it will take years to clear up what the ukrainian military spent years planting. and even then, many civilians will continue to lose their lives to these mines. and i d 's where
1:06 am
i'd gas div from here. so region, ukraine, the city of murder, you pull in the done. yes. republic remains a flush points in the ongoing war. ah, by faith continued there between bush and lead and ukrainian forces, the army of the done yes. republic claim they fully surrounded the city, uncontrolled, most of its territory. thoughts as you can quite clearly see here, the city has been all but destroyed in the fighting. those civilians who were able to flee motor you pull, have been accommodated in temporary, come spill by russian underneath republic, emergency services. the refugees have been given food and water, which is something they all lots while they were sheltering in basements. ortiz, roman cultural, visited one such sensor and spoke to the people about their flight over a 1000 refugees were finally able to make their way out. so far, marable, last month, they spent in a basement so they weren't allowed to evacuate by
1:07 am
a sulphur battalion who encircled the city and prevented the locals. so peaceful civilians are from leaving the city. they had absolutely no information. and finally, some of them were able to use their own cars. some were ashley walked to checkpoints, which are now controlled by a russian dentist people's republic military who told them where to go and how to evacuate. now once they arrive, i hear her on the outskirts of maria oval, the register to go to either genetics or, or, or a stove where it's not as dangerous. i was able to speak to some of the people here in this, say q. and these are the stories of their evacuation from mario bowl. well, glen harmon, cinema. there was no information at all. it was we were locked down and couldn't go anywhere beyond our yard because they were constant challenging. but it was scary.
1:08 am
we ended up here because one day the children ran to get at least something to eat because there are no projects in grocery stores of the shelter, empty. so, and most importantly, there is no drinking water to keep children ran and heard from the russian soldiers that it was possible to get out his way in the some of them silver, silver, se, my mother and i are trying to flee to russia to say that it was difficult would be a huge understatement. that was, i'm 56 years old and i've never seen anything like this before in my life. that 5 people were torn to pieces right in front of me and i've seen corpses lying around the city. i've also seen children who are pleading for food. i have no words and no tears to cry any more than my psyche as bro cancelled for the appro butchered chisel. there was a rule of large numbers in place when the artillery couldn't hit the target. it started dropping more shells. we realized that it was over near my wife said that if we didn't leave that day, we would have been killed rupture. we didn't know any information. neither way to goes norway, what was happening?
1:09 am
role model. i was cold, hungry and scary with it, but hunger was nothing compared to complete information. vacuuming region estella, there's nothing right. but the houses were bombed and burned. yeah, that's why we're leaving. there is no light there. local volunteers are working overtime to try and register all these hundreds and hundreds of people who are arriving from mario pal. they are giving their passport information. and so how many people they have in their parties. however, many people have left their loved ones to behind those who couldn't evacuate those who didn't have any information to evacuate. now they're hoping that they will arrive here soon. this is and notice board right here where people are leaving a node. so some of them say i'm looking for my mom and some of them say i'm looking for my father, my grandmother and my sister. of course they're leaving these notes say here in hopes that very soon there will be reunited with their families. once again,
1:10 am
you said you media to, you don't get, don't go to properly. you swim, you know, you can choose her to you. look soon when as there has been a good, are you on the modem failure, jim? she has been me a human said serial exhibit violently. who are launching the dish or nurses? no, she's clarity to their slightest when she was complaining, isabel is that i'm come on. i'm going to keep oscar. roger got on this little was his last hundreds all for people who arrived here on the outskirts of her, who paula territory now under control and his people's republic. i spent how weeks without fair food, electricity, or running water, here at this temper, refugee center, all of their basic needs are taken care of. there have been said, there are plenty of 5 children i hear as well. once all the basic needs are taken care off, they'll be forwarded on to either russia or deeper to the territory,
1:11 am
often as people's republic, where they will be once again, safe from shilling and, and nothing will threaten their life. from lancaster authority, the nest people's republic, a draft resolution by russia to ensure the full protection of civilians on humanitarian personnel in ukraine has failed to win approval of the un security council. russia and china both voted in favor with all of the countries abstaining . the resolution would also have guaranteed safe passage outside ukraine for everyone, including foreign nationals. the u. k said instead of humanitarian resolutions, moscow should simply stop attacking civilians, which is something russia denies doing the countries. ambassador clay in politics was up play of the security council stair sigel. so the vote brought to light. all those for whom the politicization of the humanitarian crisis is more important than you and assistance in providing humanitarian aid to those in need in ukraine. care
1:12 am
will continue to use the civilian population as human shields, and in defiance of international humanitarian law, placed heavy weapons. now, hospitals and kindergartens, anywhere near. meanwhile, the ukrainian president full of him is the lensky has made an impassioned plea for every one to show support for ukraine. i sank every one who acts in supports of ukraine in support of freedom, but the war continues. the ex, after or against peaceful people, go on one mass already. that long. it breaks my heart, heart of all you grants and every free person on the planet i ask you to stand against the war, starting from march 24th, exactly one months after the russian invasion from these day. and after them. show your standing. well one say to which does show is standing is
1:13 am
there western mainstream media which stuns united in his desire to see the russian president assassinated? and is not just the tabloid press, either boats reputable outlets like business inside or in the times, which have all be mulling the idea someone from putins in a circle will do the job. most theories are based on the claims of ukraine's military intelligence. it is known that bordner cobb and some other influential representatives of the russian lead are considering various options to remove prudent from power in particular, poisoning, sudden disease, or any other coincidence is not excluded. earlier we told a journalist and author daniel lazar who believes the modern media runs such types of stories because many people buy into them yet there are an increase in number of people that are still being skeptical about it. i think the purpose of such stories as is to, is to drum up our war fever against russia to prepare the,
1:14 am
the public for, you know, for further military actions. it's really all rally and i'm in reminds me of those seems in the 984 where the where the crowds would would, would call for the death of emmanuel goldstein. the enemy of the state, since, since at least 20112010, the americans have been demonizing. vladimir put in some parts of the public buy into it. but i think other parts are either unmoved or increasingly skeptical. the more. busy this kind of rhetoric is invoked, the more this kind of these kinds of hatreds are stirred up, the, the less less likelihood that any kind of reason will, will prevail. and the greater the chance that the war will go on to the bitter and, and may even spread on while the west rails, against russia on
1:15 am
a daily basis over its offensive. it remains convenient, quiet about the atrocities committed itself in the center of europe is 23 years ago to the day since nights so begun this bombing of yugoslavia, the ice lasted $78.00 days and left hundreds of civilians dead local correspondence . boris muller gorski reports heretic bombing campaign. ah, and it started on this day in 1999. today our armed forces joined our nato allies and airstrikes against serbian forces. support for nita was illegal. war on serbia was almost unanimous among us politicians. i have supported the nato bombing. what advice would you give president clinton this very morning? just don't lose your resolve. not to say there wasn't any criticism and the most obscene chapter in recent american history was the condom to the cost of a conflict. when the president on stage refused to prepare for ground operations,
1:16 am
how obscene american not sending and ground troops right away, what to occupy all of serbia. we should go to belgrade, and we should have a japanese german style occupation of that country. and we should have public trials. does anyone even remember any of this path with i was in serbia, when the bombing started, i was 10 years old and i remember the air raid sirens to me. this came out of the blue. but the stage for this was set before and nato's bombing started throughout the 990 s. american politicians and media outlets for ben ton waging war against the serbs in the balkans. and i was suggesting we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the drain. when nato 1st bomb the serbs in bosnia and herzegovina, 995 time magazine said the massive bombing attack opened the door to peace. but in
1:17 am
$1099.00, the excuse was cost of serbia, southern province in which the so called cale a or kosovo liberation army conducted terrorist attacks on serb civilians and security forces. but the aim of kosovo seceding from serbia is a pretext that serbia was using excessive force in their counter insurgency operations. the u. s. cited with the albanian kaylee rebels are goes with the beginning, were to read casa of serbs and rid they did. following the bombing campaign over 160000 serbs were 75 percent of them fled kosovo. but that still wasn't enough. so in 2008, much of the west recognized kosovo as an independent country in violation of un security council. resolution 1244 and serbia's territorial integrity and sovereignty. america's pledge to militarily intervene in the balkans went beyond serbia's borders. i will continue with every fiber in my
1:18 am
b to keep america involved with troops that can shoot and kill to protect the rights of the albanians where ever they reside. in the balkan, mainly warned nato's bombing would set a dangerous precedent for me as a 10 year old kid. just watching serbian television was scary enough to to nato me . cells fell on the village with on the residential part of the village. were striking hard and serbia's machinery of repression, while making a deliberate effort to minimize harm to innocent people on the hit list were local hospital and primary school in 78 days, 420000 missiles including depleted uranium bombs and band cluster bombs fell on serbia, they fell on our infrastructure factories, television stations, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, i'm innocent civilians, nobody ever apologized to serbia for the bombing. nobody was tried nor punished for
1:19 am
the bombing. you probably forgotten about this, and most of us have moved on to more pressing topics. but i can't move on. i will always remember what nato did to my country. i don't think there war hawks can become peace doves without recognizing the harm they've done. can millions in the past you can watch more stories from the relatives of the victims of nato's bombing campaign in yugoslavia. by heading over to our documentary websites, r t, d dot com. and when you put a young theology, she was here the other pretty to you all these to through only region, enamel do own out born biskin. i'm way on all the time was can only back we will be only 2 weeks. is deonna shake of the meters club or that we did you think is dorothy dorn with many to dolly that was you in your
1:20 am
son who kitchen you got the a b. i mean, not the modern, the dividend up, which of course nature, you know, and i wanna show with glove with them for about another visit of kids with almost whom interviewed out the mini mom. are you just a buick lou dotsie those little dots with although that is you know, stood an activity balancing act for me. silly dowdy children. april this is eugene business. happy much. i can do that. the nicholas people. abbey. a shake. well donnie's with yes. and the other people, the advocacy, recently free sure. with your muscles with you and some of you, but she's the most. i could do that in the do it with rush. you actually fuel
1:21 am
now both of the serbian film directs and screenwriter a miracle story. it said, draws the similarities from the tragic events of the past with what's happening today. ah, they were only just 3 months consecutively, one day after the other. he has 300, though the war would agree in different. unfortunately, we didn't have nothing, everything was destroy the 1st month after. but what is very important to notice. they never came on the ground because they know how to be a people fight. in theory we could say that this was a period international law was changed for what a called the humanitarian look. this was just the 1st phase of what we see today. serbian people remember they might forget sometimes,
1:22 am
but they remember what was going on that time. and i think most of our people just understand that not being a pro war, but understanding the causes which lead to the war that is on going on in the conflict in ukraine nowadays. jo biden's approval rate since have punished to a new low, a 40 percent less despite the popularity of presidents usually soaring in war time . he's currently on a trip to europe where he gave a controversial speech on the leading a new world order. as one of my, as the one of the top military people sent me in a secure meeting, the other day, 6060000000 people died between 190946. and since then, we've established a liberal world order, and that hadn't happened in a long while. a lot of people died, but nowhere near the chaos. and now the time when things are shifted, we're going to be a new world order out there. and we've got a lead,
1:23 am
we've got to unite the rest of the world doing it. earlier, we invited a panel of guests from china, india, and south africa to hear their views on a potential new world order headed by the u. s. if you talk about the new world water, it's sort of signifies as if you are already victorious at the time when the world is undergoing threw up and demick a kind of the, the entire global economies. in a crisis, the american president biden's sort of popularity is that at the historic law at 40 percent, that's the that should not be the time to talk about the new world order. as young people are. definitely can continent dennis as young people of south africa, a peace loving country. well, why would that be? seems to be a country in the world where there's $115.00 minimum countries, which feels that it has been elected to lead us. i mean,
1:24 am
you look at something as simple as need to. what is the purpose of natal when the soviet union collapses $991.00. instead of following the u. s. a side of natal uses that opportunity to expand. i mean, we stand with the russian people when they say enough is enough. this is indeed i want to say is we don't, we're to, to say there's a new global order under the u. s. is opposed to, to lead. of course the number of people died. that's a bit scary. you know, people would ask us prepared to, to do something all to involve beep or in the war you crim that man, you know more people who to be killed. so this is problematic to say the least 2 years a bull when he became the american president was supposed to be the decent, a liberal, who uses a gentle mental language. and now he called the russian president award criminal. i
1:25 am
looked and he talks about india. he said india is shaking in isolating russia. that's not the language consistent with a person who is trying to unite the word. the trunk is important place to discuss global economy is that it's a mechanism to resolve economic issues. the challenges and the theme, or the g 20, the rebate. a recovery after this make and he's not about the issues related to the ukraine crises, politics, germany and poland have accused russia of violating the terms of his gas contracts . that's the bloody me putins order that so called unfriendly states were now have to pay for their gas deliveries in roubles loop. and as it is showing of, so i decided to implement the sets of measures in the shortest possible time to transfer payment for
1:26 am
a natural gas supplied unfriendly countries into russian roubles. that is to abandon the use of all compromise currencies. at the same time, i would like to emphasize separately, the russia will continue to supply guess in accordance with the volumes and pricing principles indicated in the previously concluded contracts. unlike some colleagues, we value a business reputation as a reliable partner in supplier which dorothea or russian president vladimir putin, is basically ordered all payments for russian natural gas being sent to what he called unfriendly countries to be made in russian roubles. in the past, russian companies have at the, accepted the vast majority of payments in u. s. dollars actually, but since the beginning of the military operation in ukraine, russia had to contend with an unprecedented level of sanctions. and one could say that this is moscow's response to the west to vladimir putin, even specifically said that overall trust and foreign currencies had deteriorated because a number of countries illegitimately decided to freeze russian overseas assets that
1:27 am
was lee musical. if you need, you can, over the past few weeks, a number of western countries have taken illegitimate decisions on the so called freezing of russian us it. the collective west is essentially ended the reliability of its currencies crossed out the trust in these currencies. now everyone in the world knows as they suspected, and now everyone knows for sure that obligations in dollars and euro may not be fulfilled. and to be honest, moscow could have responded in a much harsher way. it could have perhaps turned off its gas taps that supply europe, but the decision had ended up taking looks very reserved in comparison. really. we have gotten a number of reactions from european energy companies since serv latimer prudence statement there. and they do not seem very excited to start paying and rubles no one has reached out to us yet. we also have existing contracts, said that is not agreed. we will continue to pay in euro. we have no other contractual basis. this would constitute a breach to payment rules included in the current contracts. we have noted with
1:28 am
grady rotation, the news that russia only wants to process gas deliveries in rubles at this stage. we cannot yet estimate the concrete impact this will have on gas trading. and it's also likely that this decision was tank taken to strengthen the russian rouble. let's not forget that it's significantly depreciated in relation to the dollar after those western sanctions. i mentioned earlier, but ah, when the moscow stock exchanged open today just moments after it opened up, the price of $1.00 actually was below $100.00 rubles for the 1st time since march 3rd of this year. and it's also important to note that european energy prices have been skyrocketing since hooton's statement. so these are just the immediate effects of russia's demands to be paid in roubles. and it's likely this will continue to shake european economies in the near future also form a foreign minister carrying can i so believes with seeing the rapid speeding ope of a global trend of d dollarization. it's all about an acceleration of something that was there already
1:29 am
beforehand. the franchise. the fragility from a sea of the dollar in commodity trading was very clear in the year 2008, 2009. and this is the killer financial surprises of 2009 of which we moved out thanks to a very strong chinese economy. the has been the fragility of the dollar going off. the you on that station is, is moving on to the dollar. i sation, it's not something that will happen now in a very swift move, but it is a region of saying that this external reading, like it was the example of saudi arabia and some other oil sellers. we have had that in the past, even be the case with iran. oh, wishing to move out of the dollar to the euro, fine stance so that the topic has been on the agenda and what we see right now. but this reason statement represent, put in is a tremendous exhilaration. it's so it will definitely open up the new chapter of
1:30 am
world trade. well, that's the latest from the ongoing war and you cray on of course the why to fall out of that. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again to the top of the hour. but do you feel free to head over to our social media pages for all the latest developments? ah ah, ah. ah, excuse me. the most beautiful cities in roses, far east. ah,
1:31 am
it sits on the river that runs on the rush of china buena.
