struggling to bring their positions with them. amid the ongoing fighting 10 residential buildings on a library were damaged when ukrainian forces shell, the city in lou ganske republic on saturday. that was reported by local military authorities. no casualties were reported in purple mice. but local resident, se continual attacks have left them living inferior the least we were sitting here in the basement from 11 to 8 o'clock in the evening. but one rocket strike after another again and again. and when it hit hard here, you can understand that my wife, who was sitting a metre away from the incoming shell, was saved by god's will. we moved away from this wall which was hit by the shell and stood there until 8 o'clock in the evening. my hands are shaking me was more than a 100. so now it is impossible to be here. i didn't sleep the whole night because all this is hard for me. meanwhile,

our tea has visited the southern ukrainian city of melli topo which was taken under control of the russian army a month ago. with more in her life there has progress since then. your senior correspond murat, ghost you in cities and towns across ukraine, liberated during the russian special operation here in the country. life is gradually returning to normal. this is the city of multiple we why here. just scott, days off, the ukranian troops had abandoned that when blown up tags was still in the streets . the city was empty, every one was in their homes, in mean basements in shelters, waiting and fearing what would happen next. now that 23 weeks have passed, things a much comma people, once again has in the streets, many shops are open and the fear, the fear has dissipated. confident that the worst is over,

people have begun to open up. they are no longer afraid that ukraine security services will nationalists, will come knocking on their door if they say something that government doesn't like . produce them. yeah, yeah. my yes there i support one vladimir putin said the notification and demilitarization from so that no one would carry weapon in the country would be neutral or no, nazis would be around. this. everything has become peaceful here. russian forces did not kill anyone who was quite the opposite. lay portent. you will be the union yet as clean cut them. i don't believe the information might crane you. thanks a message as a sand you. i don't want to marry the natalie. it's like an a c, t enamel came with that. give it to my children, leave in russia. i'm alone hand. it isn't really there war. and even though i seen at emerson is normal, not mine. the city now has a new mayor who presides over a joint military civilian administration. she's well aware of the challenges ahead,

but he's confident or confident that melody bull can overcome the hurdles. the key of his set, zalinski is government has cut off millions of its own citizens in areas liberated by russia, depriving them of wages, access to national records, and even the ability to register newborns to shuffle la 30. his thought. and now we cannot, ranches to marriage is the bass of children property for one simple reason. the a korean government has sensually disabled old databases under command from the center. the banks withdrew the money supply from head this latter shortage of cash come festival employees of the civil service and pensioners suffer when there was still a man from the pur. shanker solidarity party. here they turned off the electricity in the city that led to linton jackie. this is identical to what he did to the don bass, sparking a colossal humanitarian crisis,

prompting russia the said aid medicines and even pensions to the region identical. but for the shelling and attacks, now ukrainian troops are being driven back in russian national guardsman are helping to keep order. while those are gonna love us almost as little character, we are often approached with social questions are you, we help in any way we can. we pass the requests of civilians to the local administration, but most of the hand over ammunition to us for a reward. we returned cars to residents that were taken away by the militia, created by the ukrainian authorities. as it retreated, the ukrainian military left behind a vast quantity of weapons. aside from all the gods that handed out the civilians, those arms are now being collected handed involuntarily by people in liberated areas. because i'm wishing up with others, whatever a man try to hide this machine gun ammunition belt in the cemetery. i saw this and brought it to the common dance office because it is dangerous for children and

civilians. this fully loaded machine gun belt is far from the biggest hole that's been brought in. people have brought in all sorts of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, with all sorts of ammunition. certainly people bring this in for, for different reasons. some for a cash reward, others out of a sense of duty. the other task handled by russian national guardsmen and local volunteers, is manning, checkpoints, infiltration, saboteurs, and weapons. smugglers are a serious threat. this is one of the checkpoints outside the city of military people where russia national guardsmen. ah, at a checkpoint outside the city. this is the road leading to mario book. every single car is checked and the luggage, the boot, is also checked by russian troops for, for weapons or any private items. this direction is especially important. as i

mentioned, it leads to the city of mario book and over the past few weeks, hundreds of ukrainian nationalists as well as soldiers. among them near nazis have attempted to flee from the city of mary opal disguised as refugees. there are multitude of these checkpoints are wrong along the roads. at very few nationalists now make it out without being caught during screening a sub renewable share melody. we pay special attention to people because under the guise of civilians fighters from the ukrainian armed forces or neo nazis, trying to drive through. we check people's documents because they have been cases when neo nazi tried to leave a war zone under the guise of a family. many residents treat the checks with understanding support us. thank us of you them. undoubtedly, things will return to normal and pill. this conflict reaches its conclusion and power is handed over entirely to civilians. when that will happen, he's so far and clear, but in the meantime, relatable to new governor,

he's determined to keep her city alive and strong in these troubled times, eugene against the little sto, would lose people hunted, everything will be better, they believe in it. t satiate these extra since it was me, as i'm the sway to disappoint people, and heard that i will meet their expectations used to be a couple of days or something more our guys, the a r t from relatable you crave. dan, just something else to bring you. the head of the russian delegation of the ukraine talks vladimir mid din sky has announced the next round of negotiations will take place on tuesday and wednesday. and they will meet face to face again and turkey. that is the 2nd meeting in the country between officials from kiev and moscow. ah, the ears, foreign policy chief has warned that the ukrainian conflict could push russia closer to china, which could then lead to

a rift between the global south east and northwest usa barrel are the only way to stop that happening is by ramping up efforts to end the war quote, today turn on the bad consequences of what's happening is that we can push russia to china. and we can create a division between what weekend say this se, the global se, and the global northwest. and we have to avoid these trend. and in order to avoid this trend, the 1st thing to do is to stop this war of aggression war of attrition today. and that's what we are doing to support ukraine, also by military means without escalation, without a orders on dollar vertical escalation that could bring, bring to her beek, a conflict, and tried to put pressure in russia by all our capacities. you know, that will make to pay the price of it. art is caleb martin has been taking

a look at the global ramifications of the conflict in ukraine and sanctions on masa . i am i saying that the russia, ukraine conflict is just between 2 countries, but in reality, it's got global implications. there are currently around $10000.00 nato servicemen stationed at military facilities and naval bases in ukraine of which $4000.00 are from the united states. u. s. military and cia personnel have been training forces in ukraine for a long time. meanwhile, britain just decided to send 6000 new defensive missiles as well as 25000000 pounds sterling and aid. plus there's been an inflow with international volunteers. a singular thing

locked her account and who can forget the economic fall out? the sanctions on russia are already taking their toll throughout the european union . sanctions should always have a much larger effect on the russian side. done on our side. it's not our intention to impose sanctions to unnecessarily weaken our economy. but we are entering an unprecedented food crisis because other countries in the middle east or africa are very dependent on products from ukraine and russia to feed their population. the pandemic already saw an increase in mount nutrition throughout africa. but now the new sanctions on russia are making things worse. russian fertilizer exports have been affected and the price of food and fuel is rising. the escalating ukraine crises has been a bit, has a dental big deal to the east africa. honda crisis at the moment. it has sent prices. oh, key communities such as a grease put eliza owens cranbrook antiques really impacting,

especially the poorest and most vulnerable and who are struggling with affording that the united nations is already speaking up about this. you could, i mean people are including a living hell and the reverberations are being felt worldwide. the skyrocketing food, energy and fertilizer prices, so deafening to speedo into a global hunger prices. oil traders are now predicting that the price of petroleum could go up to $200.00 per barrel. by the end of 2022. around the world, many observers have got to be asking themselves, is sticking it to russia really worth all of this? the impact of these global events could be quite hard to undo. caleb martin r t new york and earlier joseph gregory mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations discussed with us, they prospects of greater relations between russia and china. well, let's keep in mind that the strengthening of relations between china and russia

have 3 fundamental causes. first lead us destabilize central asia, and russia and china had to work together to try to clean up the mess. second, the u. s. d, stabilize the middle east, pushing china closer to russian oil. and 3rd, the 2 countries share a long border and need peaceful relations with each other. now, there are other reasons for the country to be friends, but these 3 points are shared strategic interests that do appear to be deepening. as the u. s. takes a harder line against both countries. but europe has a major concern here because it's resisted us, antique china positions in many respects. and it's got a lot at stake in terms of trade with china. now obviously the u. s. would like to change that and the europeans perfume for fearful that all of this will drive a wedge between them and china as well. over the long term. i think we'll continue to see cooperation through groups like bricks, the shanghai cooperation organization. my see a trilateral strengthening of relations between russia,

china and india. and we might see military cooperation expanding after the dust settles and ukraine. well, that's how's the u. s. continues the pressure countries it sees as not towing washington's line. no, america has called india's position on the russian ukrainian conflict on satisfactory new delhi has avoided any direct condemnation of russian actions in ukraine and abstained from un security council votes on the ship. i think we would certainly all acknowledge and agree that when it comes to votes that the un india's position on the current crisis has been unsatisfactory to say the least. but it's also been totally unsurprising. despite western countries agreeing to stop the purchase of russian oil as part of sanctions. indian does not join the boycott, but is instead and talked to by russian or level discount while also seeking ways to maintain trade relations. earlier i spoke with n k butter crew mar. india's former and buster to turkey is pakistan. who says

india needs to think of the interest of its own citizens 1st. in days, not an exception. this is a rule. what in days doing is actually what most countries are doing, not only in, in, does neighborhood, but even in latin america, africa, and other continents. when someone said that a stance is unsatisfactory. it's an add a statement because you know, in foreign policy stands on a particular issue taken by a country. you've never their view to satisfy the country when the americans and what policies to set aside to the community. know what community when they went and bumped yugoslavia when they destroyed the rock, when they destroyed libya, no, they did it in their interests awe while on a related seem to the sky high energy prices of play, europe for the past number of months. no sanctions against russia feeling further

discontent by propelling those course to never before seen levels and thus lead the frustration in many countries, including spain. the, as you can see here, dozens of marie cement mixtures, have occupied highways around the spanish capital. an improvised march started the other political madrid. football stadium was held to slow traffic and draw attention to drastically rising food and fuel prices. elsewhere in spain, a highway leading to portugal was blocked when fishermen in the ton of monte set fire to a wall of tires to protest this firing cost of fuel. the country has been gripped by demonstration stage by various trade in an effort to address the problem that government has offered truckers or rebate on one thing. but the group behind the

process has rejected the offer and bothered to keep off protest both indefinitely. while in france, writing fuel energy prices, as well as overall living costs of re ignited the yellow vest protest movement ahead of next month, presidential election. protesters of accused candidates the feeling to understand their cars and in greece, the prime minister has admitted that the huge, unprecedented sanctions against russia quote, actually do bite. referring to rising energy course, the one that the you should be careful not to let the measures damage europe more than moscow. and among those you states who disagree with the box hard line on russia is hungry, which has rejected calls to bomb rushing gas and to take sides in the conflict by please from ukraine's president was hungary. i want to stop here and be on a once and for all you have to decide for yourself who you are with. the answer to

the question of which side hungry is on is that hungary is on hungary side new bring. poland has warned that such policies will cost hungry in the future. budapest point to import more than half of its oil and gas from russia and sanctions and russian energy would mean that the hungarian economy would be severely impacted. political commentator anthony webber believes more countries are starting to ask if sanctions on moscow are actually counter productive for them. we're not looking at just, you know, 2 or 3 percent interest increase in the cost of living. we're talking about massive increases and we need to look at say, the u. k. recently, where a watson fall way that way. i actual a $1010.00 leisure and he's now about one c plus

a liter. even with the chance for reducing touched by pencil. asia, which is or patch of the man made no difference at all. but then this is the interesting thing because if you look a lot shopping with the u. k. spring budget the, the government's been able to do, but she's not going to help alleviate costs or living crisis in the k. and they are not the see the small west to come. we just the check that the iceberg now. so you, the yes they will be countries who will start to look at their interests. well, as western countries seek at least 2 reduced reliance on russia and g, washington is turning to the middle east to meet gaps and oil supply. it's been reported, the biden administration transferred a significant number of anti missile interceptors to saudi arabia in recent weeks. and that of course,

is despite the humanitarian catastrophe on falling in yemen. the result of a 7 year war in the country between the saudi led coalition on rebel groups led by the cheese, thousands of the m and he's filled the streets of the war torn countries capital on saturday, march the anniversary of the conference voiced their anger at the red laid military campaign in the country or t corresponding ritual. blevins delves now into why the monitoring crisis in yemen received so little international attention. all the vine administration imposes unprecedented sanctions on russia, claiming concerned for the fate of civilians in ukraine. that concern appears to be non existent for civilians in yemen as a devastating war and their country enters its 8th year instead of announcing sanctions against saudi arabia over its role in the conflict that has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. fightin is doing the opposite. he's working the gain back. saudi arabia's favor, a mid anees,

that any disruption and the kingdoms oil supply to the u. s. could be devastating, as washington moves to ban all energy imports from russia. but even though the war and ukraine has received more intentional social media in just one month than the war in yemen has received in 7 years, just how bad is the crisis? well, it's estimated that nearly 400000 people have died more than 15600000 people currently live in extreme poverty as millions phase, hunger and starvation. and now the united nations is predicting that more than 1300000 people will have died as a result of this war by 2030. and that nearly 70 percent of those deaths will be children. under the age of 5, we're 1000000000 short failure to provide this year a few extra $1000000000.00 means you're going to have famine destabilization in mass migration. yet the growing crisis in yemen over the last 7 years had stopped us from providing support for the saudi led coalition. with the binding ministry

ship reportedly moving to approving new batch of patriot interceptors this week, your previously denying the saudis request last year seawall the u. s may claim it is concerned for civilians in ukraine and is also concerned about the stability of the energy market as it works to shut out rushes contributions to the global supply . that means a bite is now working overtime to maintain favor with saudi arabia as the king them sides with russia on production plans and even considers setting payments using the chinese you are. as a result, the saudi crown prince knows exactly how many courtesy holds here. and i said he doesn't care, i didn't understand the saudi. simply, i do not care. it's up to him to think about the interests of america. however, why didn't does care? that's why he appears to be carrying on the longstanding u. s. tradition of ignoring both the crisis in yemen and reports of human rights abuses in saudi arabia,

in order to maintain access to saudi oil with benz on saudi money and saw the purchases of more moments for war in and elsewhere. so it does not want to take, consolidates too much on the one hand, the saudi is on the other, and along with the united arab emirates, they see some ability to assert some sort of autonomy. so with the decisions that the states may in regard to the u. s. so that is why. 1 are so eager to just get on the bandwagon. 1 criticizing russia for its actions and following the u. s. and long it's a return visit to the world to parts to do is next. those are on the system with indian career diplomatic pop in pharma,

to talk global alliances reestablishing old ties. stay with us for that. ah ah, ah, with me hello, welcome to was apart. back in 2007 when the relations between russia and the west rail really showing signs of distrust. but we're still manageable,

not to mention remarks to the deaf mahatma gandhi. it's hard to find somebody to talk to and be understood what was dismissed as a joke, proved to be a prophecy. 15 years on russia and the was unknown to talking and our security disputes play out as it military confrontation in an over ukraine is a return to no while still possible. and on one conditions. to discuss that, i'm now joined by a career indian diplomat and former member of indian permanent mission to the united nations. ambassador is great to see you, great to talk to thank you very much for your time today, you are pretty straightforward. in characterizing the ration operation in ukraine as that quote brazen attack and that contravention of international law. and i think many russians may agree with you on that, but is there any great power or a major power in this day and age?

doug would put abstract international law, a bomb. it's immediate and concrete, security interest, threats to those people are 3 interests. what we have to understand is that increasingly we are living in them multiple know in a multiple word, creeds which are our full have. this spheres of security influence, or what this seem to be areas around them, which are critical to the manage, the all their security perceptions. once we understand this, then again, perhaps i'll try and understand the more you wish to be, and i think rush hour. i'm fortunate intervention. you great, i say,

unfortunate because the end to war, it has led to a great deal of damage and destruction. it's led to loss of lives and it is fundamental or transcription of a sovereign country. so to that extent, rochelle stands gullible, but in diplomacy in the history it is low, black and white for let it i'm the one says that our shades of gray, and we have to see where the today, the accused are as guilty as the accuser. well, ambassador, let me ask you specifically about that, because whenever i talk to american officials, they always make the case that the russians are dangerous paranoia that puts in lost his marbles or that he is

a psychotic magdalen. many of moscow maliciously dis, towards the intentions and nature of nato. i understand that you know, the mental health professional but who version of reality you find that more to be more rooted in the tax on the ground and in the realities in the norms of what and geo politics. you see, i have a diplomat and i have been a member of parliament. and now in london, politics, i have a pity that you should never judge a larger issue of the this is the 1st little demonize ish. you may have a perception, a walked, donald trump was like you may have a perception, a walk person is like. but there are individuals who are
