a ukraine says 5 people have been injured and a fuel death post set on fire in the western ukrainian city of evolve falling in the parents. russian missile strike. defusing the danger, bush and troops tacos. scores of minds, apparently left behind by ukrainian forces, or t follows a miniature engineering unit, i think clears one region. along with the u. s. president slums vladimir putin as a butcher voice quote, war of choice in ukraine. although in the past, he was among those who are called for the bombing of yugoslavia, i was suggesting we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots

in and blow up all the bridges on the dream. and a new twist in the ukraine. bio loves revelations, as the russians claim, the involvement of the u. s. president. so on may now be supported by emails obtained from his laptop. they allege hunter biden health raised funds for biological research and ukraine for an american company. ah. from moscow to the world. this is our international. i'm pizza, scott. and these are the top stories this hour. and we start with some of the major developments in the ukranian conflict. rushes ministry of defense claim, $67.00 foreign vessels from 15 countries are now still in ukraine. so the ports due to the high risk of minds and phase of shelling. moscow rejects claims,

it's hindering civil navigation in the black sea and blamed he of russia has also warned 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 mount airy to siren sounded and plumed, the smoke was seen rising over the western ukrainian city of evolve on saturday. the local authorities claim it was the result of 3 explosions with media reports blaming russian air strikes on the $55.00 people were injured. while a few deco and defense facility was set on fire. no residential buildings were said to have been damaged and russia is yet to comment on the incident. meanwhile, over ukraine's capital officials have reversed the decision to introduce the 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 kiev. earlier this week, russia reported it had surrounded ukraine's capital. and this drone footage shows shattered buildings and now you pull. many of them have been heavily damaged by bombs rocket shelling and gunfire is not being claimed. russian forces have taken control over city hall. so meanwhile, russian engineers are continuing demining operations in ukraine, southern hassan region. a you can see a russian soldier making safe what appears to be an improvised explosive device filled with metal, shards by the roadside. our teeth rod gasdio followed a military engineering unit in their high risk endeavor to clear regions of the hidden danger. along these trenches were little outposts like this, where ukrainian troops lived and served for years near the border with crimea

booth troops the 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 in 1st to d, mine and remove various booby traps and improvised explosive devices that ukrainian troops had left. but again, these trenches 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 tortora lake. on the 24th of february, we were tasked with clearing the route through enemy mine field syndicalism sports . we moved in with a detachment of tanks and did our job. so it was analysis on the line 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 where was the ledger? it was harder than during training. it was dark that was for there was so much shooting. we felt our vehicle warble at times from the force of a toll. it all happened so quickly like like things done. okay. it was a huge responsibility. if you have to do everything in a minute. it's hard to put into words, all the pressure and adrenalin wilson. 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. but a difference with training as you can't fail in real combat, which you have to get the job done. you have to use everything, you have learned everything you now to the same failure as not an option much recommended. it went off without a hitch. mine fields were dissected, destination was cut and miles of trenches overrun. next came the comparatively easy apart. along with military is also clear of the way i got the vehicle barricades in various foods. if occasion, these trenches and bunkers held a drove a valuable information,

orders this positions and indications of ukraine's plan on our system there. presumably 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, like what we saw ourselves said passed through the mine fields had been cleared, sees maps, combined with intelligence collected in the east, lends credence 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 at gaz, give from him san province. ukraine. turkish authorities have reopened the bathrooms to ships after disputing diffusing, excuse me, a mine which drifted through the straight. one of the mines which russia claims was

planted by the ukrainian military, drifted across the black sea and ended up in its stumbled phosphorus straight ukraine denies the claim. in this video taken from social media, you can see a bose approaching it. so far to say the mind with diffused as a precautionary measure, fishing has been bonded night in the busy walk away. earlier versa claimed on 10 mines drifted away from the desk. the chalk of an older nearby port in the mines said to be produced in the 1st half of the 20th century. the editor of defense in foreign affairs general gregory copley believe the mines could close the threats commercial shipping. these are very old mindset and they seem so far and not surprising that some of them would have come adrift if that 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 really consistent mind countermeasures, vessels, and operations in the sea of as all, and the black. so you 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 be used to pose an ongoing threat to, 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 to publicize this. and to publicize the lack of security in the black say to russian shipping, and particularly, russian naval shipping. at this time, johnny's visit to poland,

the u. s. president joe biden lashed out to russia for its quote, war of choice in ukraine, and those remarks delivered to the polish people for we emerged in the 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 call $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 reached at $200.00 rubles, to dollar level. he thought of, and he's currently sitting at the round $95.00 roubles according to the russian central bank. meanwhile, the white house scrambled to explain some of the president's other remarks. it claims he never called for regime change despite the president clearly stated by the mere putin quote 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 to comfort ukrainian refugees in poland. that's after he referred to vladimir putin as a butcher. you're dealing every day with what i mean. when you look at what he's done to these people, what does it make you think he's a butcher? the criminal spokesman to meet you? yes, golf said such insults reduced the chance of any restoration of relations. adding that the u. s. leader must remain sober minded. he also question biden's stunts considering the cold 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 as oil

supplies. nato's bombing of the former yugoslavia was the 1st time the alliance had launched military action with no agreements from the united nations security council. it left at least $1200.00 civilians dead according to the un investigative journalist week. sterling says the president's butcher remarks about putin highlights a rapid decline in diplomacy. it's very hypocritical for joe biden to be saying that it's interesting that the white house is back tracking like that. but i think 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. joe biden is probably playing to many americans who have been good for years and years with hateful radical. rec, and, and have come to take out of ignorance and propaganda, frankly. 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 the ukraine was increasingly being used as a tool and a proxy for nato and a genuine threat to, to russia. kelly, the grad, has been on the russian occupation since 1945, and should be part of poland. well, that's the statements that come from the commander of the polish ground forces. russia immediately advise the former polish serviceman to study history and not forget the poland itself. receive territories after the 2nd world war. glenn grad, formerly cummings berg, was transferred to the ussr in 945 straight after the end of world war 2. following the collapse of the ussr, the territory remained part 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 russian occupation. and that was or should declare its rights to it. we discussed the

current situation around the cleaning 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 claims 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, and we want to revise borders and we want to revise the outcome of war war 2. so

again, instead of trying to live in peace with here, with 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 poor simply haven't gotten the memo. 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 helped 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. provider biological weapons research to. busy 30 labs in ukraine. washington denied dots, however, did acknowledge there are research facilities in ukraine, on the u. s. works towards preventing materials from falling into rushes hands. moscow said the documents show hunter biden's involvements which the emails now

potentially support. and thus, despite west the media being quick to dismiss the claim, as ortiz kelly morphine reports, 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 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 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 and setting them up being and why did victoria newland the u. s. under secretary of state, express concern about russia getting his hands on these bio lab did. 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 saying, oh that can't be true because russia said it, because russia said 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 binding ministration has been shielded from legitimate criticism and the same for us foreign policy that when it comes to the issue of ukraine, media is just expected to march in las lockstep. so these revelations, these emails that have come out from hunter by laptop related to these bio lab that ukraine, this quite a big deal man 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 times 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 fueling further discontent by propelling those costs to never before seen levels, and thus lead to anger, boiling over including spain. the dozens of laurie's men make this have occupied the highways around the spanish

capital, madrid, an improvised march. this started at the metropolitan no stadium was held to flow traffic and draw attention to the drastically rising food and fuel prices across the country. elsewhere in spain and the town of a mon say a highway was blocked by large clouds of smoke dots after around 40 fishermen. so far as a wall of high is to protest the spiraling cost of fuel spain. as a whole has been gripped by demonstration stage by various trade union walked in an effort to address the problem. the government has also truckers, a rebate and a one time cash payment for the food behind the process is reject for the offer. and bout the key for the proto quotes indefinitely. and he's not only spain where there are issues. this video shows the supermarkets in the germans stood gods with essentially like broken oil and flour old missing from the shelves. the country is experiencing a shortage of goods amid the ongoing conflict and ukraine with the war already

having made itself felt in the price of certain products economy stay on certain see in the market is likely to continue with the situation sets of worst. and in the coming weeks and the greek prime minister, meanwhile, has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quotes are actually due bites. referring to the rising energy costs, he warned that you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more than moscow. banking and finance. professor richard verna is the situation with spiraling fuel prices may become even worse since europe severing all of its economic ties in 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, but maybe amputate a leg or something. we've now scenery a suppliers of diesel fuels in austria,

in germany, warning that there will be rationally, 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 the global outrage. it rushes offensive in ukraine as see not just russian culture council throughout the world, but it's sport to. a vast majority of russian athletes have been suspended or restricted from key international events, and with no exception be made for those stang, aside from politics, is a look at how the de sports battle ground seems to have gained completely new rules . in the 21st century was on just fought on the battlefield, cyber wolfe 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 drama ellen pix sigh of relief . no russians, kate, us or judges. love it. it was not the skating or spool. well 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 gotten apparently legitimate reason to do so. but her comment and find too many fans. the international skating union, like the majority of supporting 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 them. but the cause of your passport, you're triggering so have to go. and it seems the walls on board,

russian athletes or individuals like us all full of dreams and fear and courage. but they are also symbols potent representatives of a nation engaged as the aggressor in a heinous ward. the list of sports where russians are no longer welcome is a long one and find a few sports have stood up for the principle of sport beyond to politics. even tennis, which will allow worship plants compete, but only as individuals is partly demanding. they renounced the motherland weldon of wand newman, feared of removing the russian trickle from his instagram account. seemed to many a sign that 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 or validate the teams or 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 enemy 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, mustang saga crackin, should you be banned? like he was why 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 sports, but all of a sudden now it's allowed. and now that it's allowed, i hope that 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 working. all spool 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, a space separate from politics. it no longer is just like it no longer matters if you're 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 me some after play by us all for this or for the latest developments on the war in ukraine had over to archie dot com. my name is peter scott and thank you for watching. ah ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very critical time time to sit down and talk

with nelson as well. yeah. wow. give easy. wow. furnace us. ah. yeah. or you can use that one slide yet if south. yeah. rush south and i was i really need it that the new dock. awesome. or, you know, watch done up all me terrible up. my pizza is emily. apple's video from sheila vicious kim's room. she's thoughtful. it's, it's the y fi, ela a yes. my thought watching in the again the audio fortune. pretty up my be a lot about this more than just the natural aah,

ukraine. a big and rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently. 2014, a qu divides ukraine and leads to fratricidal war and on a war that continues to this day

on the edge of a large field near lo ganske, the mass grave. local say that the people buried here are mostly civilians who are allegedly killed by ukrainian paramilitary groups in the summer of 2014. or does this what with a mr. alcorda? what did of that? don't batista merely as it would be? the, when the british scuttle car was stone crane said things of a sudden form you not said anna saralitos special committee for collecting evidence of the ukrainian government alleged walk, grimes against the people of lou ganske. when you go about doing his, i'm really impressed. there are many burial sites like this and done bus. i'm here for 5 minutes and then i'm told the 1st 5 people they found.
