[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, ukraine says 5 people have been injured and a fuel depot is on fire in the western ukrainian city of evolved, falling an apparent russian missile attack defusing the danger russian troops taco scores of mines, apparently left behind by ukrainian forces are the follow, the military engineering unit, as it clears one region along with various foods and a new twist in the ukraine. bio labs. revelations is the russian claim about the involvement of the u. s. president,

son may now be supported by emails obtained from his laptop. they allege hunter biden helped raise funds for biological research in ukraine for an american company . ah, wherever you are joining us from. welcome to our international. my name is peter scotts, and we start this hour with some of the major developments in ukrainian conflict. rushes ministry of defense claim, 67 foreign vessels from 15 countries, now stoke in ukraine's southern ports due to the high risk of minds and fears of shelling. moscow rejects claims its hindering civil navigation in the black sea and blames kiev versus also warn the floating minds might reach romania in 4 days if the weather in the northern black sea gets worse. meanwhile, as the humanitarian situation remains dire, in some ukrainian regions,

more than 19000 people have reportedly been evacuated to russia on saturday. with more than 4000 coming from the devastated city of maria pope. air raid sirens sounded and plumes of smoke were seen rising over the western ukrainian city of evolve on saturday. local authorities claim it was the result of 3 explosions. with media reports blaming russian air strikes on the city. 5 people were injured while a fuel depot and defense facility were set on fire. no residential buildings were said to have been damaged, which has yet to comment on the incident. meanwhile, in ukraine's capital officials have reversed the decision to introduce a longer curfew. it comes as a spokesperson for the country's defense ministry says russian troops have been pushed more than 30 kilometers away from key f. earlier this week, russia reported it had surrounded ukraine's capital. and this drone footage shows shattered buildings in matter. you pull. many of them have been heavily damaged by

bombs, rockets, shelling and gunfire is now being claimed. russian forces have taken control over his city hall. meanwhile, russian engineers are continued d mining operations in ukraine, southern care, san region. here you can see a russian soldier making say, what appears to be an improvised explosive device filled with metal shards at the roadside ortiz right against dia, followed a military engineering units in their high risk endeavor to clear regions of the hidden danger. along these trenches were little outposts like this where ukrainian troops live 1034 years near the border with crimea booth. troops that weren't caught, that managed to escape left. everything behind many were captured and taken prisoner by russian forces. it was engineering brigades that moved him 1st to de

mine and remove various booby traps and improvised explosive devices that ukrainian 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 russian 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 late on the 24th of february, we were tasked with clearing a route through enemy mine fields, cousin sports. we moved in with a detachment of tanks and did our job. so i was in yellowstone law in dylan 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 under fire. they said to it, aided by this machine, a u. r. 77 meteor, right. the star of the shoe and said position made fun of 100 meter long mind clearing charge, packed with explosives to set off any minds in the way. carrying a passage for armoured vehicles appeared and 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 they thought 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. 2000 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 best for him. 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 military cso clear, the way i got the vehicle barricades in various foods cases, these trenches and bunkers held a drove a valuable information orders, dispositions, and indications of ukraine's plans of his time. representing because we have strong evidence that ukraine was planning and offensive on crimea. we learned this when we captured their minefield maps,

which showed where they had cleared paths for their military forces. the new look what we saw ourselves had passed through the mine fields had been cleared. these maps, combined with intelligence collected in the east, lend credence to russia's claims that ukraine was poised to attack it, but likely take years to learn the truth. once the bull propaganda dies down, perhaps by then, these engineers and sappers will have finally made this lad habitable for humans. once again, more at gaz, give from give san province ukraine. turkish authorities have reopened a boss verse to ships after refusing a mind that drifted through the straits. one of the mines which russia claims was planted by the ukrainian military, drifted across the black sea and ended up in a stumbles boss for a straight ukraine denies the claims and this video taken from social media, you can see about approaching it and take shorts is say the mine was diffused

sports as a precautionary measure. fishing has been bonded nights in the busy waterway. earlier russia claimed around 10 mines, drifted away from odessa charcoal under the nearby ports. and the mines is said to have been produced in the 1st half of the 20th century. well, the editor of defense on foreign affairs general gregory copley believes the minds could pose a threat to commercial shipping. these are very old mindset of the same sofa. and so it's not surprising that some of them would have come adrift. it doesn't, is not a problem for ukraine as well, because it serves to give notice to russia and also to the international shipping community that they cannot, with any ease, move vessels through the black sea. and russia will, for years to come, have to devote a really consistent mind countermeasures, vessels, and operations in the sea, of as all,

and the black sea to make sure that the sea lanes are going to be safe in the future. because these old mines and even the new ones could used to pose an ongoing threat to commercial shipping. and the fact that they were so quick to respond to the initial report of the 1st mine coming ashore. integrity was, it was, you know, they, they understand it and by the way it doesn't hurt you either as a native member. ready to publicize this and to publicize the lack of security in the black say to russian shipping and predict. ready the russian naval shipping at this time during his visit to poland, the us president joe biden lashed out to russia for its war of choice in ukraine and remarks delivered to the polish people for we emerged, you know, in a great battle for freedom. the bible between democracy, talkers,

for god's sake, this man cannot remain power. you the russian people are not our enemy ruble almost immediately reduced to rubble. that's true, by the way, takes about $200.00 rubles, they go $1.00. though biden's comments on the collapse of the russian rouble don't currently play out with its value. the currency has never reach the $200.00 rubles to the dollar level. he thought of, and he's currently sitting at their own $95.00 roubles. according to the russian central bank. meanwhile, the white house scrambled to explain some of the presence of the remarks he claimed he never called for a name change despite the president, clearly stating vladimir putin cannot remain in power. the president's point was that putin cannot be allowed to exercise power over his neighbors or the region. he was not discussing putin's power in russia or regime change. early on saturday, president joe biden raised more than a few eyebrows with his choice of words,

as he thought the conference ukrainian refugees in poland. as after he referred to him, it putin as a butcher dealing every day was wondering what he's done to these people. what does it make you think he's a butcher, the criminal spokesman to be gps, golf said such insults, reduce the chance of any restoration of relations. adding that the us leader must remain sober. the also questioned biden's stance, considering he called in the past for the bombing of yugoslavia, i would suggest we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow up all the bridges on the drainage. i was suggesting we take out his oil supplies. nate, those bombing of the former yugoslavia was the 1st time the alliance had launched military action with no agreements from the united nations security council. left, at least 1200 civilians dead according to the un investigative journalist week.

sterling says the president butcher remarks about putin highlights a rapid decline in diplomacy, very hypocritical, per joe biden to be saying that the fact that biden is making those statements shows. in general, it shows the decline in and diplomacy, as well as other aspects of the united states. what we, what we see is the united states being extremely hypocritical. and in the case of russia, it's got next door, neighbor, ukraine, that there is a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that ukraine was increasingly being used as a tool and a proxy for nato and, and a genuine threat to, to russia. kelly ingram has been under russian occupation since 1945 and should be parts of poland. well, that's the statement this come from the eggs commander of the polish ground forces . russia immediately advised the former polish service men to study history and not

forget the poland itself. receive territories after the 2nd world war. clinic grad, formerly known as koenigsberg, was transferred to the ussr, 945. as immediately after the end of world war 2. following the collapse of the ussr, the territory remained parts of russia and became an enclave of the country in europe . nevertheless, that didn't prevent the polish general from declaring the region is under bush occupation, and that was or should declare its rights to it. we discussed the current situation around the cleaning got region with serbian american journalist ned knowledge. the funniest thing about poland trying to claim clinton grant is occupied in wanting to revise borders. is that if we were revising world war 2 borders, which we do, we really want to start doing that. in 2022. poland would have to return to a good portion of its territory to germany. because modern day poland was sort of

shifted to the west after world war 2. when the soviet union basically revised the results of the polish soviet war 100 years ago. it makes 0 sense for them to make territorial planes right now. and well, in general, but especially right now, i mean the whole platform of nato and the u. s. is that, you know, sovereignty must be respected, and borders are saker. and here's poland, a nato ally saying, oh no, we want land, if we want to revise borders and we want to revise the outcome of world war 2. so again, instead of trying to live in peace with here, would their neighbors dear trying to mobilize their overseas sponsors into trying to resurrect the sort of historical dream? dead? i mean, this is the, you know, this is the 21st century people keep saying it's the current here. and i think the poll simply haven't gotten to member there's been a new twist in the claims about ukrainian bio labs. emails obtained by the media

apparently suggest the u. s. president, son hunter biden, may have held finance and a legit u. s. military by a weapons research program in ukraine. earlier, the russian defense ministry said it's obtained documents, allegedly proving the u. s. provided biological weapons research to 30 labs in ukraine. washington denied that, however, it did acknowledge. there are research facilities in the country. and the u. s. works towards preventing materials from falling into rushes hands. moscow said the documents showed that's hunter biden's involvements which the males now potentially support does. despite western media being quit dismissed, the claim authorities kelly morrison explains, we understand that there was an email that was obtained from hunter biden's laptop, showing that the firm he worked with rosemont, seneca, and it contract in an 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. net blacks 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, well, these are not military facilities, 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 its hands on these bio labs, if indeed they serve no military purpose. what would be the danger of russia getting a hands 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's son was involved in financing and setting them up with rosemont, seneca, his firm, and met by out of the company. so this all points to us leaders being involved in all kinds of nefarious activities in ukraine. and when asked about it, simply 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. if anyone in russia says that it's therefore false, because russia that they have no response here. 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 binded ministration has 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 revelations,

these emails that have come out from 100 by laptop related to these bio labs in ukraine. this quite a big deal. and to see us mainstream media just scrambled, continue trying to sweep it under the rug is quite a big moment. and quite a big revelation about the nature of discourse in the united states. the way the hunter biden's laptops were greeted was very, very strange. as you may recall, back in october 2020 and as the election was nearing, these are these laptops became known. and there was a immense effort by social media, the government, the press, et cetera, to shut down, access to these laptops and to discredit goes, reporting on them. so therefore, the contents were never really fully explored. the new, our time's only recently admitted that the, the con, the,

the laptops and their contents were legitimate. we're truly hunter biden's. so i'm only now are the contents coming to light sky high energy prices have played europe for the past few months. and now sanctions against russia, a fueling further discontent by propelling those costs and never before seen levels and knots lead to anger, boiling over, including in spain. ah, dozens of lawyers and the men make sense have occupied the highways around this punish capital, madrid, and improvised march. this started the metropolitan stadium withheld to slow traffic and draw attention to the drastically rising food and fuel prices across the country. elsewhere in spain and the town of i amongst a highway was blocked by large clouds of smoke us. after around 40 fishermen with set fire to

a wall of tires to protest the spiraling cost. if you will spend the whole is being gripped by demonstration stage by various trade union in an effort to address the the government has offered shockers rebates and one time cash payment. both the group behind the protest, jason, the offer and bout, to keep protest quote, indefinitely. and he's not only spain where there's been issues. this video shows a supermarket in the german city stood guards with essentially like cooking oil, pastor and flower all missing from the shelves. the country is experiencing a shortage of goods amid the ongoing conflicts in ukraine with the war already having made itself felt in the price of certain products economy. a uncertainty in the market is likely to continue with the situation that the worse and in the coming weeks. the greek prime minister, meanwhile, has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quotes actually do bites. referring to

rising energy costs he wanted the you should be careful not to let the message measures damage europe more than moscow. banking and finance. professor richard burneff is the situation with spiraling fuel prices may become even worse. since europe severing all of its economic ties with russia as punishment for its war, the energy that europe needs comes to a significant extent from russia. europe has more or less been forced under us pressure to, to shoot itself, not just in the foot and maybe amputate a leg or something. we've now seen already a supply us all. these are fuels in austria in germany wanting that there will be rationing, literally rationing because there won't be enough. it's not just a question of price anymore. it's a question of quantity. there is not going to be enough to blow back is going to be, well,

it is already visible and it's significant that is only going to increase in effect the global, outrageous versus offensive in ukraine as not just seen russian culture council throughout the world. but his sport to a vast majority of russian athletes have been either suspended or restricted from key international events and with no exception be made. even for those standing aside from politics is logan's out. today's sports battle ground seems to have gained completely new rules. in the 21st century was om just fought on the battlefield, cyber wolf, up information, even economies. they've all been dragged into dirty politics. and now sport does listen to these words of a renowned sports journalist, at least according to our twitter commenting on the wild fick escape championship. there were no triple axles to be seen, but what a sane women's event this was compared to the crazy trauma ellen pix sigh of relief . no russians,

katy's or duchess. love it. it was not the skating or spoiled. 1 that really made this happen. it was the war and ukraine. the message from smith was clare. we've been trying to get rid of the russians for years. and now finally, we've got an apparently legitimate reason to do so that her comment and find too many fans. the international skating union, like the majority of sporting organizations, has imposed a sweeping bound on all russian athletes at the request of the international olympic committee. i know there are no exceptions. you can be the cleanest most a political russian athlete out there. but the cause of your passport, you're triggering so have to go. and it seems the world's on board, russian athletes or individuals like us all full of dreams and fear and courage. but they are also symbols, quoting representatives of a nation engaged as the aggressor in the heinous war. the list of sports where russians are no longer welcome is a long one. in fact,

few sports have stood up for the principle of sport beyond to politics. even tennis, which will allow worship, pledge to compete, but only as individuals is partly demanding, they renounce the motherland weldon of wand. newman. feared of removing the russian trickle from his instagram account seemed to many assign. the russians would only be welcome if they forgot where they came from. oh forget about them. full stop. take austin's a hurry on an 18 year old footballer, lesson a year ago for gold all come hailed him, a teenage magician. it then put him in its list of the 50 best young footballers in the world and what happened next. his voter fever and your wife is ban of russia from club and international competitions. we do not want to endorse all validated teams that harriann blaze for we have therefore decided to leave 11th place a vacant a week ago. the representative of the website assured us that football is separate from politics and scott and will be on that list. but they didn't inform us about

his removal from that list. it is very strange as a hurry on went from magician to any number one without even having uttered a single wad. but the point is, even if you have said something and expressed a view that many disagree with like chess ground musta saga crackin, should you be banned like he was? well, any american athletes who continued to be patriots on the us invasion of iraq and afghanistan shunned and demonized all over the world. in fact, one else has the sporting wild waited into politics like this. no one should accept any killings in the world or oppression. we've never been allowed to speak about politics and schools, but all of a sudden now it's allowed. and now that it's allowed, i hope the people also look at the oppression everywhere in the world. so now we can talk about ukraine. we can talk about palestine, when did having a different opinion, the come treachery. and when did it become acceptable to ask people to denounce

that countries just that they can continue to walk. and if the plan is to push these athletes into hating the homeland, it really doesn't seem to be well. king oles, post selections have been trampled. the basic principle, the sport is separate from politics, has been trampled. most importantly, 1st of all, i am a patriot of my country and only secondly, i am an athlete. it's pretty clear though sport was supposed to be sacred as base, separate from politics. it no longer is just like it no longer matters if you are a good russian or a bad russian, your russian. so your pariah. can you think of a more blatant example of discrimination? but it seems we're now living by new rules, which i mean some after play by and along with the ukrainian conflicts. tensions are spiraling again, between armenia and as a by john in the disputed territory of not going to come back. the russian defense ministry said on thursday and friday as

a by johnny forces entered an area patrolled by russian peacekeepers shooting for massage car box armed forces. the russian ministry says the intrusion is a violation of a 2020 agreement between armenia as a by john and russia, both by joan defense ministry said the country is in full compliance with the agreements. and there's been no violation of the fees fire. according to the armenian side, the 3000000 soldiers were killed and more than an injured women. children were evacuated from a board, a village in the region. the situation began to escalate 2 weeks ago when problems with the gas supplied to the area were reported. a local journalist who's not far from the line of contact center. this report could begin that on a few days ago, sir. but johnny troops entered the territory of the russian peacekeeping counting and in the garden. caraballo reach out to the diamond, the village of car mort, not far from the line of contact. the villagers do not want to leave their houses. there are a dead and injured in a garden car back regent. now we have

a difficult situation. i can't go outdoors for a long time. well, there is no gas, but we expect a peaceful settlement of the conflict. will be continuing with our coverage of all the latest developments in the war in ukraine in about 30 minutes time. in the meantime, do feel free to head over to our t dot com for more stories in analysis. my name is peter scott and thank you for watching. ah 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'll see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

with ah ah with like when you they do
