and 10 residential buildings on the library where damage when ukrainian forces shell, this city in the loop, ganske republic on saturday that was reported by local military authorities. no casualties were reported in purple mice, but local residence. a continual attacks have left them, fearing for their lives list 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 meter away from the incoming shell, was saved by god's well, we moved away from this wall which was hit by the shell and stood there until 8 o'clock in the evening. i and my hands are shaking. let's settle as was on the head you thought now it is impossible to be here. i didn't sleep the whole night because all this is hard for me. look out here. meanwhile, our tea has visited the southern ukrainian city of melli topple, which was taken under control of the russian army

a month ago with murano and her life there has progressed since then. here sir, a senior correspondent, murat, gaseous in cities and towns across you, great 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 scant days off, the ukrainian troops had abandoned that when blown up tags was still and 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 come a people once again, house 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 you credit security

services will nationalists will come knocking on their door if they say something that government doesn't like. reach them. yeah, yeah. my yes sir. i support what vladimir couldn't said de notification and demilitarization from so that no one would carry weapons in the country would be neutral or no, nazis would be around. this. everything has become peaceful here. russian forces did not kill anyone which y the opposite lay particular union the it was doing harm . i don't believe the information. my crane. the thanks a message as a sand you. i don't want to believe in analyze. it's white in the city and i'm ok with that, i give it to my children live in russia. i'm alone here. that is why they are worried. even though i say that everything 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, confident that mellow to bull can overcome the hurdles that keith has said. the

lensky is government has cut off millions of it soon. citizens and areas liberated by russia, depriving them of wages, access to national records, and even the ability to register newborns. he shows asserting his thoughts and now we cannot. ranches to marriage is the bass of children property for one simple reason. the korean government has centrally disabled old databases on a command from the center of the banks, withdrew the money supply from head us. this led to shortage of cash come festival employees of the civil service and pensioners suffer when they were still a man from the per shanker solidarity party. here they turned off the electricity in the city that led to limiting the jackie. this is identical to was key of did to the don bus, sparking a colossal humanitarian crisis, prompting russia the said aid medicines and even pensions to the region identical. but for the shilling and attacks,

now ukrainian troops are being driven back in russia. national guardsmen are helping to keep order. well, those are good. there's little so knows the fellow correct. 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 unless they hand over ammunition to us for a reward. we return cars to residence that were taken away, and the militia created by the ukranian authorities. as it retreated, the ukrainian military left behind a vast quantity of weapons. aside from all the gods that handed out to civilians those arms and now being collected handed involuntarily by people in liberated areas with the machine up with voters. whenever a man tried 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, so brothels, 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 russia. national guardsman 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 guardsman, ah, at a checkpoint, outside the city. this is the road leading to mario bull. every single car is checked and the luggage, the boot, is also checked by russian troops for, for weapons or any bribes at 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 neo nazis have

attempted to flee from the city of mario pal disguised as refugees. there are multitude of these checkpoints wrong along the roads. at very few nationalists now make it out without being caught during screening, a sub renewing of ocean knology. we pay special attention to people because under the eyes of civilian scientists, from the ukrainian armed forces or neo nazis, the trying to drive through, you check people's documents because they've 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 to 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 unclear though, but in the meantime, a little bull's new governor. he's determined to keep her city alive and strong in

these troubled times. eugene that he is a little still would it lou? people hope that everything will be better. they believe in it, they associate these expectations with me as i'm afraid to disappoint people, and hope that i will meet their expectations used the 8th of dice or something more guys, d, a r t, from relatable ukraine. meanwhile, the head of the russian delegation of the ukraine talks loving mere maiden ski hands and nights. the next round of negotiations will take place on tuesday and weddings thinner. they'll meet face to face again in turkey. the 2nd meeting in the country between officials from keith and moscow, ah, the ears, foreign policy chief has one that the korean conflict could push russia closer to china, which could then lead to a risk between the global southeast and northwest use a barrel added the only way to stop that happening is by ramping up efforts to end

the war quote. today, so long the bad consequences of what's happening is that we can push rossier to china. and we can create a division between what weekend say this se, the global se under global northwest. and we have to avoid these trend. and in order to avoid this trend or 1st thing to do is to stop this war of aggression war of attrition. today. and that's why we are going to so bored ukraine. also a military means without escalation, without the orders on dollar vertical escalation that could bring, bring to a bigger conflict. and tried to put pressure in russia by all our capacities. you know, that will make to pay the price of it. ortiz killable, i've been, has been taking a look at the global ramifications of the conflict in ukraine,

on those sanctions, on russia. i, you my things 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 or 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 with 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, the 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 malnutrition 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 b, has a dental big bill 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 being felt well, why 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 discuss with us the prospects of greater relations between moscow and beijing. 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 countries 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, remind sia trilateral strengthening of relations between russia, china and india. and we might see military cooperation expanding after the dust

settles in ukraine. well, that's how's the u. s. continues to pressure countries, it sees is not towing washington's line. now, 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 abstain from un security council votes on the issue. 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 on the spike. many countries having agreed to stop purchasing rushing oil as part of sanctions against the country. india has not joined the boy cuts, but is instead and talks to by russian or at a discount while also seeking ways to maintain trade relations or your i spoke with m k budrum tomorrow and he is former and buster to turkey. and his pakistan who sees india needs to look after its own citizens interest in days,

not an exception. this is the rule. what in days doing is actually what most countries are doing. not only does neighborhood, but even in latin america, africa, and other continents. when someone sees that stance is unsatisfactory. it's an add a statement because you know, in foreign policy stance on a particular issue taken by a country, you've never their view to satisfy the country. what the americans and what policies to set aside to the one community? no one community when they went and bought yugoslavia when they destroyed the rock, when they destroyed libya, no, they did it in their interests. well, sky high energy prices have played europe for the past few months. no sanctions against russia fueling further discontent by propelling those course to never

before seen levels. and that's led to frustration in many countries, including spain, the noisy highway, dozens of murray's on cement mixtures, have occupied sideways run, the spanish capital, improvised march stuff started a symmetrical madrid's football stadium was held to slow traffic and draw attention to drastically rising food and fuel prices elsewhere in spain look at there's a highway leading to portugal was blocked when fishermen, in the ton of i am mom to set fire to a wall of tires to protest this filing close to fuel. the country has been gripped by demonstration stage by the various trade union in an effort to address that problem, the government has offered truckers or rebates and one time cash payment for the group behind the process has rejected the offer to keep our protest food

indefinitely for the border from there in france, rising fuel energy prices as well as overall living force, re ignited the yellow vis protests the head of next month's presidential election. processors have accused candidates of feeling to understand their concern. let's take a grease after weeks of protesting a price of fuel. people are now faced with another consequence of the sanctions against russia. empty shelves. supermarket chains across the country have announced the restriction of flower and sunflower. oil sealed spears grew of a reduction in supplies due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. bruce imports run 30 percent of its weight from russia and ukraine. and in the us, some drivers are crossing international borders to buy petrol, as prices skyrocket on the back of those functions against russian oil. sunday ego residents are seen here in mexico's western most city of t. a one on saturday,

filling up their cars. tanks, petrol, prices are currently $2.00 lower per gallon, done in california. among those you states who disagree with the blocks harsh line on hungry on russia is hungry, which has rejected calls to bon rushing gas to take sides in the conflict. despite please, from ukraine's president was hungary. i want to stop here and the honor once and for all. you have to decide for yourself who you are with. the answer to the question of which site hungry is on is that hungary is on hungary site. neighboring poland has worn out. such policies will cost hungry in the future. budapest says point to imports, 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 now starting to ask if

sanctions on moscow are actually counter productive on 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 we could buy actual a one pound chain leisure. and he's now about one c plus a liter, even with the chance for reducing to us by, 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 at what shopping with the u. k. spring budget, 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 the call. we just the check that the iceberg now. so you, the yes, they will be countries who will sought to look at their interests when they made severe a condemnation among the western community to russia's actions in ukraine. officials from the middle east pointed on the apartment disproportionate level of attention to different crises around the world, the humanitarian suffering that we have seen in the ukraine. and everyone is talking about it. i know that has been the suffering go for lots of countries in this region. 40 years, we have never seen a global response to that us, your sufferings. i hope those are all so would it be a wake up call for everyone in the international community to look at our region and toward that us are these shows that's happening in our region with the same

level of commitment that we have seen between russia and ukraine commission of oil mentioned that the mario pull is europe's i'll epo. well i po was our aleppo who was bonding at april, not due to a piano, but the engagement of the global community. the engagement of if, if, how's that could be effective now and then is quite different. those accusations of double standards commerce, western countries seek to reduce reliance and russian energy with washington turning to the middle east to meet gaps and all supply. it's been reported, washington transferred a large number of anti missile interceptors to saudi arabia in recent weeks. that's despite the humanitarian catastrophe in yemen. the result of a 7 year war in the country between the saudi led coalition and which he rebel groups. thousands of emanates filled the streets of the war torn countries capital on saturday, to mark the anniversary of the conflict on voice their anger at the rear led military campaign in the country. r t correspond rachel blevins has been delving

into why the humanitarian crisis in yemen received so little international attention imposes unprecedented sanctions on russia, claiming concern for the bait of civilians in ukraine. that concern appears to be non existent for civilians in yemen as the devastating war and their country enters is a year instead of. and i'll think things against saudi arabia over israel. and the conflict that has resulted in the worst humanitarian crisis in the world fight. and is doing the opposite, he's working the gain back. saudi arabia's favour amid unease that any disruption and the kingdom, oil of why 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 attention on social media in just one month than the war and 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 milling in space, 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. that as a desk 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 and mass migration. yet the grilling crisis and yemen over the last 7 years, hans, up the u. s. from providing support for the saudi led coalition, with the buying administration, reportedly moving to approving new batch of patriot interceptors this week. your previously denying the saudis request last year. see, well 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, you 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 accepting payments using the chinese you are. as a result, the saudi crown prince knows exactly how many courtesy holds here. and has said he doesn't care if i didn't understand the saudi. simply, i do not care. it's up to him to think about the interests of america. however, biting 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 and saudi arabia in order to maintain access to saudi oil. well, the on stage depends on saudi money and saw the purchases of armaments for war and elsewhere. so it does not want to take the stories too much. on the one hand, the thought is on the other. and along with the united arab emirates,

they see some ability to assert some sort of autonomy of with the decisions that there are 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, ford's actions and following the u. s. a. launch. this is our t time lining the events that help ship one of the planets most troubled hotspots into an independent states within a few years. our documentary dumbass yesterday today and tomorrow begins in moments . ah, with

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have a tree that even foundation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk a with

the boys with . mm yeah,

i don't know that i will take is dealing with severe it is a good job baseball. so not all 3 of them are that order, not us be it was the whole is that i had done what i needed to do portion that i had done what i've known as bargaining. are you asked on the right? it's not always. yeah, i'm sure you had already do it. that was billed last week. who are you? i'm always you close up all the other issue. i'm how to board you me a lot of the boys boys, i'm pretty sure you know see a done by.
