that a fuel deco is apparently on fire. after being hit this in a region which has been relatively unscathed compared to other parts of the country, and what else is emerging a bite at the story? well we are looking at a footage share that was a merge the on the internet that an oil depot is indeed on a fire in the western city of creating a wes for city of fall evolve. and our local telegram channels are saying that rockets strikes took place and this is why the oil depot is now on fire. now ukrainian officials are already accusing russia. local governor says that said to rockets fell within the city limits. so he's saying that there are reports about 2 or 5 people being wounded as the result of that's our rocket strike. meanwhile, rushes defense ministry has yet to comment on any of this that's been reported from

the city of, of off. so this points have very little information, indeed would she still needs to be verified? so we'll be looking at what's happening. and so of course, to bring you the latest as we find out. meanwhile, i hear on the grounds in don boss in donnelly, we do have verified information that's at least as well. people have been wounded in don barza and 4 of those people are children. now old, those who were wounded were from the city of mary opal. and at the time of those incidents said the we're all on the territory which was liberated from ukraine by the ha, jeanette sca army. all. so over the last 24 hours, a civilian infrastructure was damage here, a gas pipeline which on our left, a lot of people without access to natural gas and at least

a 7 residential building is we're also damaged. as the results of shelling by the ukranian army. lancaster, if in the done yet republic live in our teeth, thank you. when the russian military said on friday vantage troops rendered hardcore thus in these koreans north east. no. as you can see here, much of the country, 2nd largest cities, moons raised buildings included schools and residential houses. while many vehicles are crushed and burned out, moscow, se nationalists, ukrainian battalions. i've been continually firing missiles from civilian areas. this drone footage shows shattered buildings in marty you. both. many of them have been heavily damaged by bombs, rocket shelling and gunfire. it's not being claimed. russian forces have taken control over city hall after a month of intense fighting around it. residents of the and bustle region have spoken of the dire situation. they faced over the past number of weeks.

ah, ah, when you did your, my, we won't leave, we will stay here until the very end worker. if we are crimea half mary, you paul, half crimean, what are the schools the video whose bray is this? this is his off did. did. they were hiding here and they provoked, shoot him, came out a fired and then left the little. there seems to be no sniper. how do you determine if there is a sniper or not? you don't know, they don't shoot at me. so now come on, i'll show you. the street is all destroyed there.

i'm so nervous. i can't talk anymore. oh, the missing a shell hit the car view, crane turned off the water. we couldn't put it out. there is nothing, no water, no gas, no light, no food. we don't have anything. they just abandoned nas deposit. glad cause. here as our cat, we have 3 of them here. we will never leave them, that we will take them with us anyway. this is happiness. how can you leave them? see a blue deleted. they on the left people to the mercy of fate. children and old people hide in basements, hungry. no water, no food for much you. there is no help of answer. i was russian. army engineers are continuing de mining operations in ukraine, southern her, some region after retrieving nationalists, ukrainian battalions blunted minds on roads and fields. here you can see a russian soldier making safe waltz appears to be an improvised explosive device

filled with for shards of the roadside. one of the mines, by the way, allegedly planted by the ukrainian military, has drifted across the black sea and ended up in a stun bold phosphorus rate. in this video taken from social media, you can see a boat approaching it. turkish authorities say the mind was the few, but as a precautionary measure, fishing has been banned that night in the busy waterway. radio, russia said run 10 mines washed away after ukraine mind to desa articles, other and nearby for turkey. sure, as black sea borders with both russia and ukraine. meanwhile, ukrainian president vladimir so lensky has accused rush of abusing his position in the international arena. and of threatening the use of nuclear weapons against kit, which he says could destroy not only ukraine, but jeopardize life on the entire plummets. while us russian troops advance,

it's not only equipment. now munition that's been drawn by ukrainian forces, mines and explosions obvious. we have been hearing there have been left the long roads and feels at presenting a risk to anyone in the area. our senior correspondent, rock gas div is near the front line and follow the military engineering units in their high risk endeavor. along these trenches were little outposts like police where ukrainian troops leave 10 serve for years near the border with crimea booth troops that one could manage to escape left. everything behind many were captured and taken prisoner by russian forces. it was engineering brigades that moved in 1st to d, mine and remove various booby traps and improvised explosive devices that you created in troops had left. but again, these, such as stretch for miles,

had miles. it was engineers and sappers who were in the 1st wave of rush had forces to cross the border into ukraine. from crimea, facing them were heavily fortified. ukrainian troops protected by thousands of strategically placed mines, but still to shore a late on the 24th of february, we were tasked with clearing a route through enemy mine fields, cousins. we moved in with the detachment of tanks and did our job. so it was in your little law in de leon. we were tasked with reconnaissance to find any explosives along the path ahead. along the road we identified an area 20 meters long. that had been raked with 400 kilograms of explosives and set to blow. dennis and vladimir were among the 1st to cross the border and the fire they said to it, aided by this machine, a u. r. 77 meteor, right. the star of the shoe, one said position made father 100 meter long mine clearing charge,

packed with explosives to set off any minds in the way. carrying a passage for armoured vehicles appeared in when the dodger. it was harder than you're in training. it was dark that was for there was so much shooting. we felt our vehicle of warble at times from the force of it all. it all happened so quickly like like thing. it was a huge responsibility. you have to do everything in a minute. it's hard to put into words, all the pressure and adrenalin. also. everything depended on their success. that they failed. ukrainian troops would have had time to set off a multitude of explosive devices that they had laid over the years frozen for her for his daughter with a difference with training. as you can't fail in real combat, you have to get the job done. you have to use everything, you have learned everything you now to the failure as not an option. it went off

without a hitch. mine fields were dissected, destination wise, cut and miles of trenches overrun. next came the comparatively easy path. along with the way, i got the vehicle barricades full in various foods. if occasion, these trenches and bunkers held a drove a valuable information orders, dispositions, and indications of ukraine's plans of his time, their brazilian. because we have strong evidence that ukraine was planning inoffensive on crimea. we learned this when we captured their minefield maps, which showed where they had cleared paths for their military forces. what we saw ourselves said passed through the mine fields, had been cleared. these maps,

combined with intelligence collected in the east lens credits to russia's claims that ukraine was poised to attack, it will likely take years to learn the truth. once the war propaganda dies down, perhaps by then. these engineers and sappers will have finally made this land habitable for humans. once again, more i'd gas give from kennesaw and province ukraine. ah, no, it's no secret. of course it's sky high. energy prices have played europe for the past few months, but not a sanctions against russia. fueling further discontent by propelling those costs to never before seen levels and doubts lead the social unrest including in spain, in the tone of i am monte near the border with portugal. look about large clouds of smoke come blocked a highway after $140.00 fishermen set fire to a barricade made of tires to protest. the sparling costs of fuel spain as a whole,

has been gripped by demonstration stage by various trade unions. but protest by truck drivers drawing attention in an effort to address the problem, the government has offered truck. there's rebate on one time cash at the group behind the protests has rejected the overture to keep up protest indefinitely. especially this video, allegedly of a supermarket in germans that have struck guard, essentially like cooking oil, spaghetti flour and missing from the shelves. the country is experiencing a shortage of goods amid the ongoing conflict in ukraine with the war already having made itself felt in the price of certain products. experts say on certainty in the market is likely to continue with the situation at the worst. and in the coming weeks, the greek prime minister, meanwhile, has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quote, due bite, referring to rising energy courts, he warned that the,

you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more than moscow. that's traditionally neutral countries such as switzerland have also told the use line of anti russian sanctions. well, less welcome on the program this saturday human labor rights lawyer at done college for his take down. good to see you just on the actual political impact 1st before we perhaps get to the people. what do you think the economic blowback from these anti russians sanctions could have on perhaps ruling parties across europe? well, i think a lot going to be voted out of office. i think that's going to be true, the democratic party as well in the united states who's going to really have a bad time in the mid terms this fall. because you're going to see increased inflation. you're going to see higher gas and oil prices, energy prices, and the people are going to suffer. and those in power who frankly brought this on

. and of course it was the us administration that really brought it on are going to pay a deer price. we've already seen protests and strikes against rising energy and living costs in european states in north africa, parts of asia that's spreading as well. just how bad could the situation get for ordinary people, lose people going to the gas pumps? those trying to do a weekly shop. i think it's going to be very bad. i mean, 1st of all, again, joe biden announced that there will be food shortages. and what food there is is going to be more expensive. and again, if you have a hot summer and people need air conditioning, they're going to pay through the nose for that and pay through the nose for their heating in the winter. people are going to suffer again. we already have inflation and the inflation is only going to get worse. and the other thing it's going to happen is that particularly the u. s. dollar is going to become more and more

valueless because countries like china, russia, iran, and now even saudi arabia is thinking about using the chinese won instead of the us dollar trade on. so i think the sanctions were, is we say to smart by one half. do you think there's something as well, a little, morally questionable, but constant, you know, at bach slopping by washington on europe to, to agree with what the american policy is. when in reality it's going to bite harder in you states, at least 1st. yeah, no, i agree. i think the e u is made or, well, has made a horrible mistake by giving into the us on this. i mean, i don't even understand why they would their energy prices could rise by, you know,

multiples and why they would agree to this. why they didn't also try to prevent this war by getting nato to read, not to admit you, crane. it seems to me that you know, they'd come grovelling to the u. s. and again, much to their detriment. yeah. it's a question as well. i think about a but the ramifications just briefly. dom if you want to expand on it. but whether or not these ramifications were thought by the powers, the political ahead stuff, you know what it's going to her own people. do you think that was taken in the sums in the, in the machinations before the wide ranging decisions on sanctions, etc made? i think that was probably not considered enough. i think though they did consider who would benefit from this. you know, the oil companies are benefiting from this. their profits are going through the roof, the defense industry, their profits are going through the roof. and i,

and i'm sad to say, particularly in the united states, that's who our representatives truly represent. they don't really represent the people. and so i do think whether the people suffered or not was not considered enough. there may be a political price for that human and labor rights lawyer done callback down, thanks for your time this saturday, appreciate it. thank you very much. now, hunter biden on his abandon locked up there once again in the headlines. emails obtained by media outlets form a dumbing cache. really, a file suggest that the u. s. presence on may have help fine on from the ledge, u. s. military bio weapons research program in ukraine. russian officials had previously commented on the issue. let's get more now from a us corresponding kill of my pin on this. kill him. how credible are these

revelations and why are they coming to like not? well, you'll notice with hunter biden's laptop, now, hunter biden is the son of president joe biden. and during the 2020 elections, a laptop that belonged to him surfaced with a lot of content in it. that was a very problematic and the response of us mainstream media was to just dismiss the whole story as a conspiracy theory resort. facebook and twitter actually banned the sharing stories from the new york post and other outlets about the laptop of hunter biden. and there was a lot of scandalous information in it and it was simply not allowed to be part of the election discourse in the 2020 election. well now we have the new york time admitting that indeed 100 biden's laptop and the story there was legit. the content is very damning for the buying and ministration. and that comes on the heels of the

developments around the bio labs that have existed in ukraine. now we'd have victoria new and admitting that these bio labs existed. there's concern about, you know, they, you know, on the floor of congress, we have victoria new and, you know, before congressional committee saying that she's worried about russia getting his hands on these bio lab. and now we understand that there was an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop, showing that the firm he worked with a rosemont seneca, and it contracted and apparently worked with the company of met the bio to, to set up these labs, these controversial labs, this is what is from an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop. as promised, i've prepared the attached memo, which provides an overview of metabolic, our engagement in ukraine and how we can potentially leverage our team networks and concepts to

a said ukraine's cultural and economic independence from russia and continued integration into western society. now the response of us leaders so far has been limited regarding the issue of the bio lab. so we have some mainstream media voices coming up and insisting what these are not military facilities are. but then the question remain, why is the pentagon a military entity if ever, heavily involved in setting them up? and why did victoria newland the u. s. under secretary of state, express concern about russia getting a hands on these bio labs, if indeed they serve no military purpose. what would be the danger of russia getting a tabs on them? and so now we find out that this other story that they dismissed was widely ignored and shut down and silenced by us media and social media about hunter biden's laptop is also tied in with these labs, and that the president, son was involved in financing and setting them up with rosemont, seneca, his firm,

and met the bio to the company. so this all points to us leaders being involved in all kinds of new various activities in ukraine. and when asked about assemblies, shutting down the discussion and say, oh, that can't be true because russia, that it, because russia that it, you can't believe it here. anyone in russia does that. it's therefore false because russia that they have no response here. i mean the facts are here under buttons, laptop is real and was a legit new story that was suppressed during the 2020 elections. and these bio labs do exist and they were financed by the pentagon. and on top of that, we now find out these 2 stories are connected. so this is quite a moment where people in the united states are asking themselves how credible are our leaders. they've told us basically there are 2 stories that we cannot discuss, that turn out to be true. and on top of that, not only do they turn out to be true, but they try to be connected with each other. so this is quite a moment in the united states where we find out about this and it really raises

a lot of questions about how carefully the discourse in the united states is being controlled. and how that appears the by did ministration been shielded from legitimate criticism. and the same for u. s. foreign policy. that when it comes to the issue of ukraine, media is just expected to marginal op lockstep. so these revelation be emails that have come out from 100 by laptop related to these bio labs and ukraine. this is a quite a big deal. and the c u. s. mainstream media just scrambled. it continued trying to sweep the sweepers under the rug. is quite a big moment. quite a big revelation about the nature of discourse in the united states. yeah, we went to see what ramifications come from caleb. caleb, thanks for that. are us corresponding kill him open? now, western media, let's clearly do not agree with president putin plain. that's one of the main reasons behind the ukraine. conflict was to be not to find a country bay say, it's absurd since president zelinski is jewish,

but they may have forgotten that one of the cranes main jewish community leaders in the country e core column. my ski is also a sponsor of armed neo nazi malicious break and all that done for us. this our policy or susan says he wants to de, not to fi ukraine, but the west claims. this is a false flag because with an official say, how do you d not if i a country who's president is jewish. when you hear vladimir fulton talk about the ukrainian government as being full of neo nazis. as somebody who is of jewish to sandra, a heritage, how do you react to that to those statements? for me to hear it just again? it's as if something something similar to it. so i cannot take this segment seriously. what if i told you that one of the leaders of ukraine's jewish community go column whiskey is a major supporter of these guys?

ah, the only golf is one of the 3 richest people in ukraine. a media mogul who owns the countries main tv channel, and his profits have directly funded and armed in neo nazi militia. we actually take care of many battalions. this is both nipper one and done bass. we are helping the shock doors. as of either, we have the font of land defense, which additionally finances the families of the guys from the battalions. i can say that color, most kid donates a lot. this is not showing off at all. by the way, he doesn't say much about it anywhere and doesn't show figures, but i can say that he's one of the main donors, at least 70 percent of the costs incurred by the font he covers the rest is donations from other individuals and organizations. his influence over these

battalions was so great that even the western media labeled them colon my skis pocket army more go focus anthem as for their supplies, this is our territorial defense. how can we not support them? these militia groups were until recently blacklisted by facebook and accused of isis style war crimes. ah ah, the militia later became part of ukraine's armed forces. while cullum, whiskey redirected his enormous wealth and influence to support no other and brought him years lensky in his political aspirations, the oligarchy gave the act training ground to practice being president on his one plus one tv channel. the 3rd season of the show aired during the real life presidential race boosting selling scenes image and giving him

a chance to take his fictional character. beyond the tv screen, i will do everything to ensure that these laws are adopted. this is just a beginning. so important talks about be not defined, ukraine, perhaps waste and officials would be better not to point the finger acids jewish citizens just before we go something to bring you tensions are spiraling between armenia and ours, or by john in the dispute territory of nicole cut back which lies between the 2 and caucuses nations. the russian defense ministry said that on thursday and friday or as a bridge on the forces entered an area patrolled by russian peacekeepers shooting for missiles caught back armed forces. the ministry seize the intrusion is a violation of a 2020 agreement between armenia, azerbaijan, on russian, other 2 countries. for the 6 week war in doubt your over the long contested enclave in which thousands lost their lives will keep

a close eye on that story. or i 247 news from the russian capital. this says ortiz, stay with us for more programs. they get their started moments and i'll see you can see ah a . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very critical time time to sit down and talk ah, we must understand that lead to some kind of democracy. delivery group in which has a daughter. so a building all fresh was bottled a

ah, with
