ah ah, danielle republican forces claim to have taken control of a district in central mario paul and the evacuation of civilians is underway. our correspondent, witness people who had trucks in the war on city. now getting humanitarian 8 for out in the outskirts of our evil. some a lot of these people have lost their homes. they spent the last couple of weeks hiding in the basement. under shelling mass rally, sweep across europe over surging energy prices caused by punishing sanctions slapped on russia. some governments are suggesting people simply turn down their

heating. we get reaction in paris. it's not as that should reduce our heating and reduce our consumption of petrol or other things. there are a lot of housing that may become harmful for health when it comes to energy efficiency. also in the program, the u. k. cancelled a trip of high ranking officials to india and made voice. johnson's unsuccessful attempts to get the country to take action against russia. despite pressure from the west, new delhi, stay neutral, both in the un under bilateral relations. ah it's 7 am on saturday morning here in moscow. mine is peter scott's and wherever you joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis here and archie now state to the main developments in the ukranian conflicts. the russian defense minister has said it has achieved is prior may objective in the 1st stage of its

opperation, namely reducing the capability of ukrainian forces, which it says will lead russia to achieving its main aim. the liberation of dom bus . russian officials also stated on friday that more than 1300 of his soldiers had been killed with almost 4000 injured. while it's being claimed that the fighting matthew police moving closer towards the c. meanwhile, must protest over soaring food and fuel prices in, in europe, caused by the crippling sanctions imposed on russia. the 1st blood sprayed down what's happening on the ground. near the public forces claims have taken control of one of the districts in the sense of you for fighting with ukrainian forces and the as all but saline said to be before becoming more sporadic. then the military is conducting a building to building thirds looking for militants reportedly pretending to be civilians. meanwhile, locals claim ukrainian forces on letting people out of the city and deliberately

targeting them. an elderly woman, you can see in this video and her granddaughter both have gunshot wounds to the legs. it's claims they were attacked by the ukrainian army. we heard from the daughter of that woman. we just wanted to leave the city, at least the left bank. we will not let out. they shot both of our cause and told us to return back. so we returned back with the wounded nurse has just helped us with 1st aid. my mother has to penetrating bullet wounds. we took her to hospital, but all the windows were broken there and the poor doctors are doing everything they can. well, there are no seeds in our neighborhood. they kicked us out. thank god, we met russian troops. they helped us to evacuate the wounded union. well, despite the difficulties, more than $600.00 civilians, including $100.00 children, were reportedly evacuated yesterday for multiple than our receiving humanitarian

aid, and ortiz roman cos, who have reports from the ground. we are now skirts of the city of mario for here in the nest people's republican. there are hundreds of for refugees here who managed to leave the city. some of them came by foot. so some of them are using their cars that we brought some humanitarian aid here along with the soldiers of the nest people's republic. there are food items of bread, jan foods reserves and dry goods. others also clothing here as well, for those people who left their homes in a hurry. oh, well, probably with that anything just with their documents and some cash in hand. now, once again, we are out in the outskirts of our rouble. so a lot of these people have lost their homes. they've spent the last couple of weeks hiding in the basement under shelling, but valley city level. but those than you. but while we were hiding in

a basement near the factory right in the hot spot, if not for our men, we would have died of hunger along with our children. it's really scary now in our city. it's in our apartment and the whole building has burned down. the shelling started and we had to hide in a basement for $23.00 days. yeah, they keith was really pushing up. we have nowhere to go. we have lived here for 6070 years. and now we're homeless. all my relatives are now in. marry you, paul. my nephew with his 4 children are in. marry you, paul. now i can't leave before i know what happened to them. i don't know whether we will be able to go back. i hope they will rebuild at least some houses, but now as i understand so their lives are no longer in danger. but we're still hearing sounds of artillery here, but i've been told by soldiers of this area is pretty safe. now at once. they get their humanitarian aid here, they will move onwards either today or next, or to a rushes ra stall. but at this point,

their lives are no longer under threat. russia claims to have besieged ukraine. can largest city of kafka, most of the buildings there have been completely destroyed. local authorities earlier stated that russian troops intensified their shelling of the city with more than 50 strikes being reported the previous night. with the thought between russia and ukraine going on throughout the week, both sides have started an exchange of prisoners, 11 crew members of the millennial spirits ship, which was attacked in the black sea. i returned back to moscow after being detained for a month. some of them didn't have any id documents and you can see crew members signing papers just to get them here in this footage. nevertheless, they had a vs. negotiation seem says that talk to still have a long way to go. so grossly delegates who were to representatives the ukrainian delegation, talk about optimism and great progress in the negotiations. but i don't share optimism because there is no movement on the principle positions that the russian

side insists on. unfortunately, we see a desire on the part of our ukrainian colleagues to delay the negotiations. they take their time and frankly say that they have many decision making centers who witness certain positions have to be coordinated. and the interview for the b, b. c, members of the ukrainian delegation directly say that the leadership of ukraine coordinates all its positions with foreign advisors. this is quite frankly, and very self revealing they may have warned about the issue of neo nazis in ukraine in the past. this seems the b, b, c, staying a little more quiet. now, the broadcast isn't view ukrainian soldier with an infamous nazi symbol, clearly seen on his uniform, fierce steady determination. and a little help from western weaponry. have gotten this far, would it will, it will not tells us we have to move the global without patch on the soldier's arm

is the symbol of nazi germany is s s division known as death head. the division was formed of concentration. camp guards the start of the 2nd world war, and it was known for the mass murder of war prisoners including $97.00 british soldiers captured france in 1940. and there was no mention of any of this during the interview. and consistent with the past back in 2014 the b b. c reports on the role of neo nazis and the conflicts in ukraine. and in 2012, the channel made a documentary over racism and anti semitism in ukrainian as well as polish football stadiums that came ahead of the euro championship held in the 2 countries and showed new not suggestions be made that ukrainian stadiums. and it's out of the grey zone. max blumenthal says it's important to repulse on the issue of extremism in the conflicts, especially as the west is given his weapons to ukraine. as i just revealed at the gray zone, the bbc corresponded and fixer who is shaping that networks. coverage of the events

around mar, you poll, is actually a ukrainian nationalist public relations operative who is involved in creating a viral app that is being called by the washington post, one of the top ukrainian information weapons. and so i'm not surprised with the white washing. it is unfortunate though that western audiences are deprived of important context on ukrainian politics. and what brought the situation to this point? ukraine is one of the only countries in the world that has an officially neo nazi unit with nazi inspired insignia incorporated into a national guard who civilian wing. the national corps has operated under the auspices officially of the interior ministry when arms are pouring in. and we are seeing british made light anti tank weapons in the hands of fascist right sector battalions. and the as of battalion, we should be concerned about what will happen with these weapons after the war, what they will do, and whether they will carry out their plans for a civil war or

a wider conflict beyond ukraine. and that's why it's important, as well as the fact that they helped inspire this conflict and accelerate the push to war with their actions in eastern ukraine around the don bass, consistently attacking civilians and violating agreements. well, joe biden, who's been in europe at source with allies, this state said he only decided to run for the presidency of the scene rallies in virginia, where people carried torches and nazi banners. i made a commitment when i ran this time, i wasn't going to run again. and i mean necessarily, i had no intention to run for president again. and until i saw most folks coming out of the fields in virginia carrying torches, who carry nazi banners and literally singing the same vile rhyme that they used in germany. in the early twenties or thirties,

i should say. meanwhile, the head of russia state duma has warned the danger of us weapons ending up in the hands of ukrainian far right nationalist battalions that says $800000000.00 worth of u. s. military equipment has started to be sent ukraine. the, as a battalion was named among those battalions by the duma head, which the u. s. congress prohibits helping. meanwhile, some u. s. media outlets including cnn view statements from the as of units and their coverage of the war. independent journalist and geo politics, unless benjamin norton believes the jo biden's, criticism of domestic neo nazi movement doesn't necessarily extend to his foreign policy. if he, once again a, another example in a long history of us politicians saying something about their domestic politics and then doing something completely different and their foreign policy. this is very common in the united states. we see liberals and progresses, claim to care about human rights and democracy,

and then they violate those principles around the world because really, their commitment to progressive values ends at u. s. borders. so we see that the joe biden, i mean, he was involved deeply in the war on libya that destroyed the most prosperous country in africa, bringing it open air slave markets. he was involved in the war and syria, which created one of the worst men at uni protest fees on earth. but, you know, biden is basically continuing the same policy in his foreign policy. so domestically he will criticize nazis. but when the u. s. empire sees it's, you know, politically advantageous to support nazis abroad, not just in ukraine. i mean, i mentioned syria. i mentioned libya. we know that the united states is a history of arming and training these extremist far a death squads that were linked to al qaeda and syria. and what is the equivalent of that and ukraine? the job a newsroom of syria and ukraine would be the 8th of regiment. and we have many

pieces of evidence showing that the u. s. military has supported is ob, floor of littered with papers, books, high tech labs, left untouched. that's the condition of a key research lab, but that noble nuclear power plants, a media media report is been ransacked by russian forces with an exclusive report. now on those contradictions, his art sees eager done of. well, there's maybe only a handful of places in the entire world as iconic, as the chernobyl power plant. we've come here for a series of reports, published by some ukranian sauce, is that the rob wildfire raging in the area and that the russians aren't letting fire brigades in to let them tackle the blaze. well, hopefully you can see how much fires the rays, how much smoke there is exactly in the air spoiler, there's none. and you have to take my word for it. when i say it doesn't smell like anything is burning for kilometers and kilometers away from here. so we've come to see how the power plant functions right now when there's

a russian military operation in ukraine. from the abandoned station, we had to a nearby radiation monitoring lab, following reports, it was ransacked and looted. true enough were met with this scene blue . but as we come through the debris, he saw noticing a strange pattern, while the office floors are littered with domestic junk, all of the labs remain unscathed. so this is a research complex that focuses on studying radioactive materials. it is in the direct vicinity of the true noble power plant. and what's peculiar about it is that it has been maintained with the support of the european union, screaming about it as thick as like this placed all over the equipment here. but it is hard to see where the money exactly went,

because you don't have to be an expert in brady reactive science to see that all this equipment here is very, very all you can see rust all over, you know, all over the draws basically all over the place, so again, this is clearly all of it, the legacy of the soviet era. the equipment is in a pristine state. flasks and wiles are still neatly organized. the marauder to nato has very deliberately steered away from them. and as we dive into a dog basement, we're in for a worrying discovery. so here what we have is the only piece of more modern equipment that we have been able to find. in this lab. it has been provided by the european union, at least the funds for it. and apparently radioactive materials are still inside to have this dose meter in my hand. it's very old. it's soviet. you can see it reads 00.32, and then very carefully. i move it towards this container.

well, you can see for yourself how high the numbers go. and there are still a couple of containers inside. in nearby rooms we uncovered troves of equipment easily worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. if not millions. some of it could have been carried away by a single person, but wasn't plenty of offices. he and the storage facilities have been looted, but it's interesting to see what has been left behind, for example, well toilet paper, soap. and if we move just little further down, this little passage, there are bandages sacks and boxes full of them. so the stuff and the items most needed on the front, on the front lines have been left behind. so whoever destroyed this place wasn't in for the money or supplies. as more things don't add up,

the place begins to look like a massive odd project. there were, nobody will, from that we arrived out to receiving information that the russian military had destroyed undiluted. the research laboratory, we found a big mess in all the officers and rooms. but the most striking thing was that all the equipment used by the staff was still there and in good condition papers scattered across the floor suggest that employees made the mess while they were leaving the laboratory. most of the paperwork is still neatly in its place. the last documents are dated february, the 21st. all the expensive research equipment is in excellent condition and untouched. a video surveillance survey turned out to be blank. we detected increased radiation on the 1st floor and basement. i think it was criminal carelessness to leave such facilities on attended. so this place is server room if i may call it that used to be right here, while it has been completely ransacked along with a c, c, t, v, security post or room, whatever you may call it, whoever created all this may. hm was very much interested. nobody finds out who

exactly they were, were due diligence, this lab can be set back up and running within days. everything with even the slightest use has been miraculously, or rather intentionally spared by the raiders. and biggest dawn of reporting from tra, noble archie over europe, thousands of lori drivers have hit the streets of madrid to protest against skyrocketing prices, of food and fuel, brought about by the unprecedented sanctions slapped on russia. demonstrated bought the main avenue of madrid's demanding the resignation of the spanish transport minister as since he rejected a 1000000000 euro support package aimed at alleviating the surging fuel prices, which passed the benchmark and nearly 1.8 euros per liter. earlier this month,

since stringent sanctions have been imposed on russia, european countries as strobing with increasing food and fuel prices. demonstrations of also be held in germany, france, spain, and greece. with protesters throwing burning ties onto highway unlocking roads. some governments of even suggested people reduced their heating in order to cut their bills. we ask people in paris what they think of those suggestions? 01 thought aust, news, i don't know at what point it is going to impact and i don't know how long will it continue. we have to see how the situation is going to evolve him or if it lasts long. it's not as that should reduce our heating and reduce our consumption of petrol or other things. so as you will let y'all know, so 1st with not just reduce heat. yes, of course, but in paris, in a small apartment, it is easy, joseph se, but there are a lot of houses that may become harmful for health when it comes to energy efficiency is i'm was, which is pretty good. i'm not using gas already. what else can i say to you? less heating? well, we will see, since the winter is more complicated than summer,

it was the situation in other countries as even worse than here in france. but we are going to play this game. we must be on a minute for rocky gym and geopolitical analyst rayner raw 1st believes the west sanctions designed the punish russia and now hitting their own people hard. it's very short sighted, publicly sanctioning each other does a lot of harm about old to the lower income classes in europe. if you can afford to fill a tank at twice the price you did before. it's okay for those levels of society. but for example, for our transfer to industry, it's really also an issue of existence. only a few countries have introduced now tax rebates before that transport companies. but in germany, for example,

they have to carry full load of diesel price hike. and there is even a shortage of diesel, which we can expect in the, in the coming weeks and india and not only the transport companies, but the consumer in the market will have to pay the price for this sanction policy . and it's not only europe hits by dramatically increasing prices due to those sanctions. over in the u. s. the fuel prices have their highest numbers in 14 years . the inflation rate is also going through the roof related data shows, inflation, is that these highest in 40 years reaching 7.9 percent. and here's what some people in the u. s. had to say about the situation. not so great is it? because people on a limited budget struggling, it's hard. it's definitely converting. but i mean,

you relay 7 geopolitical analyst, patchy kenning, sim believes the sanctions regime led by the u. s. is a dead end for the western economists. western governments are asking people to take on a voluntary hardship economically. and then they began saying that they need to do this to stop potent stop to russians and et cetera. they're now saying that, oh, they were never going to deter rusher, change their behavior. and so now it's really just about punishing or containing it and they expect the u. s. is this is going to go on for the next year is going to have devastating impact on energy prices. and that's going to drive the price of everything up. it's a lose lose policy decision. this is like a kind of collective economic suicide packed, being led by washington. in the end,

it's very possible that the sanctions could end up hurting the west more than they're actually going to hurt russia in the short medium and possibly even in the long term as well. british delegation that was aiming to persuade india to take an anti russian position, canceled his trip to the country. the last moment earlier, the heads of the 2 countries discussed the ongoing conflict in ukraine and the position towards russia. boys, johnson urged india to stop at hearing to a neutral position and condemn moscow's offensive ranger mo, to face parts express hope for a cease fire, but refuse to take any action against russia. moreover, india has abstained on all united nations general assembly resolutions against russia. so far, although it also didn't support a recent south african resolution on humanitarian aid that didn't blame russia because in the crisis,

india is representative to the u. n. said that the resolutions don't reflect the crisis on the ground. we discussed the indian actions with deli based journalist and author like and p india doesn't want to play a list or, you know, become a junior partner. really big part of this delegation was certainly enhanced to include what it appears to be can rushing for imposing sanctions on russia at the behest off need to or, and united states. so that was not agreeable. and that will not be agreeable to you in yeah, of course respects the un charter a application has to be, you knew us and you can have a different application know you and charter for the rest and something really

different for issue hour after you've seen break you pretty a to work and we haven't seen sanctions imposed on a lot of countries that have encroached on 2 sovereign nations and read it to countries. or one predicts to the other ones that not being punished. pakistan was also among the countries that abstained during the humanitarian aid resolution votes of the un, which i pakistani lieutenant general, how rude, slum photos, western countries have been trying to sway pakistan to this side. i think the purpose of this resolution should have been the humanity 8 and not the criticism offer a show all the best of those. and that of the united that of the britain. a d. r a does wrote

a letter to the government of boxed on that we should stand on against russia and make our policy here as so our government to get to go. i really said that that's not going to happen. certainly a neutral standard pakistan has affected the we a u. s. and you looks at boxed on and our prime minister took a bold decision to visit to moscow. so i see really positive improvement in the relations between bush and fox. meanwhile, south africa has proposed a draft resolution in the united nations general assembly, like the ukrainian proposal, criticize in moscow for creating a quote, dia humanitarian situation. the south african drug focused on the humanitarian situation. ukraine without a forcing blame to anyone in particular. russia had appealed for countries to support the south. african sags arguing that the resolution drafted by kenneth had

been politicized. the general assembly decided not to act on the draft though, and the rival resolution received 140 votes in favor. russia, syria, north korea, eritrea and bella roost voted against wall 38 countries, abstained. we discussed the issue with investigative journalists mode de b, mo dba. in so much energy that has been used so much energy in port chase choice. but the same energy has never been used again. those are until i get the situation in libya and joyce in syria. so i think this is what we call. ready one side of the coach, you know, i think if you look at the history of that before we go anything else from coffee negotiations piece. so i'm very confident the country will not be we, by the way, that it will and tricia from the power that be in the united nation towards why don't be known to be over the past few years. the u. s. national security

advisor james sullivan has reiterated that if russia use his chemical weapons in ukraine, the u. s. will respond effectively, although we still wouldn't disclose the nature of that response. it comes after president biden warned yesterday, during the nato summit, that if moscow used the weapons, it would trigger the trigger action from the alliance. what the u. s. or nato respond with military action. if he did use chemical weapons, we would respond, we would respond if he uses it, nature the response or depend on the nature of the use. political analyst and jen, this nico house phase, the u. s. could use the threats of bio weapons to intervene like it did in syria, back in 2013. i'm kind of confused as to why they would actually think that russia is more likely to use chemical weapons in the ukraine when in recent history, they don't have any record of using chemical weapons at all. in fact, as the u. s. has had a bad habit of using chemical weapons,

whether you want to talk about agent orange indeed nam, uh, depleted nuclear uranium in the middle east. there is in the chemical weapons that are available or that could be used were created by the us in the u. s is the one with bio weapons labs on rushes, borders to be clear, they bombed syria into oblivion. sid ice is rebels into syria to create a pretext for us in bay. they claim that we never had any troops on the ground, but as a veteran who was stationed in fox and far better phillips, who does brigade a north carolina in fort bragg, i can assure you that is not the case. everything is unfolding, seemingly like it's unfolded in syria and even libya, especially with the nato, a context of it all. well, that's the wrap for now. whatever you're doing this weekend, i hope you have a good one. my name is peter scotts and i'll be back again in 30. but stay tuned from all the great programs here nazi ah

ah, afford to stay up with you i
