nato eastward expansion has always been about force resume change in russia, and ukraine has been at the center of that strategy. when people tell you who they are, believe them with washington scrambles for damage control after president biden. to adjust the u. s. is seeking to topple vladimir putin, u. s. leader later backtracks and says he was just venting his own personal frustration as expressing more outrages. i feel and i make no apologies with personal like my 1st with a humanitarian disaster and mar, you pull as local residence, hired in their basement for continuous showing as they try to cope with the lack of food and water with while the global community rushes to help you craniums,
12:01 am
humanitarian groups appear to have lost sight of the suffering amid long running conflict. elsewhere in the world, as they divert aid to the european country. ah, broadcasting live direct my studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us now. let's start by recapping the main recent events in the war in ukraine as russian and their allied dumbass troops claim territorial advances that amid reports, the russian military has destroyed key fuel depos around ukraine. meanwhile, another round of negotiations between russian and ukrainian officials is expected later on tuesday in turkey, with the turkish foreign minister, expressing hope that the meeting could lead to a cease fire. and in the pacific region, g 7 member state japan has imposed a ban on the export of luxury goods to russia,
12:02 am
including premium cars and precious minerals that says ukraine's president zalinski says western powers should increase their sanctions against moscow, including a european ban on russian oil if russia uses chemical weapons in ukraine, joe biden, once again, appears confused about his own views. after calling for the ouster of russian president vladimir putin, the u. s. liter now says that those remarks aren't to be regarded as an official policy, but rather his personal feelings not walk in any back. i'm but i want to make clear, i wasn't then norm right now, articulating the policy change as expressing more outrage that i feel, and i make no apologies for the person off my my 1st and previously put in spokesperson, already expressed concerns about biden's rhetoric towards russia. and said moscow is closely monitoring his comments. i think president the white house made the point last night that quite simply president cannot be empowered to wage war or
12:03 am
engage in aggression against ukraine or anyone else. as you know, and as you've heard of say, repeatedly, we do not have a strategy of regime change in russia or anywhere else for that matter. look, the president had spent the day visiting with ukrainian refugees in the moment. i think that was a principal human reaction to the stories that he has had that day. we have the white house back tracking and us officials backtracking. what sounded like a blatant call for regime change from the u. s. president and the u. s. president is supposed to be the head of state who represents the country and articulate correctly what its foreign policy is. it sounds like the foreign policy, the united states, is to topple and overthrow the russian government remove its head of state from power. for god's sake, this man cannot remain power. now,
12:04 am
it's also important to note that there have been a number of occasions where joe biden as dead things about the russian leader that he, they're rather unclear. right? i mean, he's use very provocative language to describe the russian president, and then in some instances, rolled it back or corrected himself. i mean, he's not very articulate when it comes to explaining what the u. s. policy toward russia really is. you know, veteran report and you think he's a killer, i do so what price must he pay? the price is going to pay. well, you'll see shortly present by regret calling the bottom report. and i know that the president gave a direct answer to a direct question and you're going to see when you're there so, so you've been there, you're going to see you're going to see women. young people stand on standing, the middle of the from dam tank. the president has been clear, we are not sending us troops to ukraine, and there is to change in that position the,
12:05 am
you know, the year's work not clear messaging from the president of the united states when it comes to dealing with russia. now at this point, we have many countries around the world that want to bring an end to hostilities in ukraine. they want the situation with fighting and dying, taking place to be brought to an end. they want negotiations to resolve the fighting, bring us the fire, and still it is so many european leaders, including many members of nato, long time us allies are not thrilled about what joe biden said. bottle of would you? i wouldn't use this kind of words. if we want to do this, we mustn't escalate neither with words nor with action needed. how help for otherwise was the us president joe biden, seeming to call seeming over regime change in russia on saturday. but then rowing back in washington yesterday, circuit money, by the way, things coming, not helpful to say something to ro back fixing to say probus reasons.
12:06 am
i think we need the escalation, military de escalation and rhetorical driscoll lation. now if you look at the polls here in united states, joe biden approval rating is hanging. americans are not happy about the domestic situation, the crumbling infrastructure, the rising price of fuel, the rising price of food, a lot of unrest at home. a lot of folks just not thrilled with how the buy in ministration is doing things. they promised to pick up the pieces from trump and, and correct the errors of his mismanagement of the pandemic that they accused him of. and things have just gotten worse, and a number of americans are wondering if joe biden should perhaps focus on trying to improve the situation domestically than trying to in and had tanza by the flames of international problems around the world by calling for the toppling and overthrow of the russian president, so not a lot of clarity coming from washington when it comes to dealing with russia and
12:07 am
their response to the conflict. as intensive fighting continues in the coastal city of mario poland, the daniel republic russian forces save that they are advancing and have taken nearly full control of the city. danielle troops recently raised their flag over an administration building their artist, among coastal reports on the destruction and the local residents who continued to live under. shelly, we're now heading out to the sensor of mario full city where the fighting is still apparently it taking place. according to that, the next people's republic of militia and officials, most of the city has now been liberated from the ukrainian army and nationalists battalions, assault the city of ha marie. opal has been under shelling for nearly half a month now. the entire town, his devastated buildings lie in her rubble. he could hear shelling right now as while it's still continues. the people have been forced to live in
12:08 am
a bomb shelters without food, water, or electricity. i'm about to visit one of these bomb shelters right now and year. the stories are the people that had been forced to live on the ground for nearly a month. people in these bomb shoulders and these basements live without food, water, or electricity, and has been happening for about a month. so, i mean, some friends of mine, i got some red from canned goods, water for the nearly 70 people that live in this basement alone. of course, for the kids, we got some chalk on this as well. what would it just do? what i shouldn't on the 20th century, de leon, is it my for the 2nd year doctor visits muster or next door or toma york marie viola, shutting the 2 shield. it took full teaching hebrew lila just as
12:09 am
a swollen belly, believe blue hung in love with bob skin delete. what still, mom peter? well, we'll talk to some people in the teacher will bring you a chance to go over, get on those guys out with no guys a book to build on video in more children, because i would say this is quite a bit longer. so the psychology, the concrete, a really sick what akita was drama, total cause of course, as of with the love ship, all metering is learn more to see when you had julia all last, qualitative bodily. most of the students used to be sure to me as of who he all middle and move towards what he really sure what to do that, but i wanted to comment on you so you won't get upset on each one yet. what did you mean? i'm not good as to what's. i learned the whole you pointlessly just won't be. did you feel like you did that you will die when you're done like you who will go
12:10 am
through them in the why did lately what both literally do. i'm not able to do a little study. it looked, i mean, it wasn't said that he was good. the institute at the present or not, that is new, but it's not all of them will hit the roof of the over. meanwhile, local residence, any kids have been cleaning up their debris after their homes and cars were damaged by showing. ukrainian media has reported that the area was shelled by russia military on the outskirts of nuclear capital. they've seen intense fighting in recent days between russian and ukrainian forces. now, despite jo biden's talk about a new world order with the u. s. presumably at the center, washington appears to be quickly losing influence in the middle east and asia as countries traditionally influenced by the us, are now shaping their own course beyond western policy, making our team ritual blevins comments. the united states is the world's largest economy and it has been decades in the role of the world's policeman. but will that
12:11 am
be the case for much longer? and is an attack turning as regions in asia, africa, and the middle east voice, their frustration with the ledge double standard they see in the west. in fact, more leaders are becoming vocal about their frustrations with the u. s. as the claims to care about human rights for the safety of civilians in certain parts of the world while seemingly ignoring others. the current events in europe have shown bleeding double standards. even in the middle east, where the u. s. has been heavily invested and has spent trillions of dollars over the last 20 years in the name of this war on terrorism. top allies in the region are now concerned that the u. s. is too distracted by russia and ukraine and to return to the wrong nuclear jail may be right around the corner, leaders from egypt. the u. a. e are rock and saudi arabia met in jordan, head of an unprecedented meeting between the foreign ministers of the reign. egypt, the u. a. e morocco and jordan and israel over the weekend. while us secretary of
12:12 am
st. anthony's blinking wasn't attend this, he was not in charge. the latest talks come as leaders in the middle east emphasize the need to give their own countries the level of global attention as a western world is giving to you. we have never seen a global response to us, nor sufferings. and we've been calling for this, that setting get precedent. and the region is by having witnessing the brutality again, it's the syrian people are in the scene ends, organic libyans, organic, organic stuff, guns. meanwhile, an asia, the bush, by the us to isolate russia from the rest of the world, is instead of serving to bring countries like china and russia closer together as they have both been the target of intense pressure from the us. china and india share common interests on many fronts. for instance, the west recently pointed the finger at india for reportedly considering buying
12:13 am
russian oil at a discounted price. but it is india's legitimate right to develop economic and trade relations with russia based on its own national interests. and while the you, as is calling on ambia to pick aside because your is being courted by both china and russia and it has yes, you agree to washington demands to condemn moscow. despite pressure as a fellow member of the quad security alliance. africa has also resisted attempts of influence from the u. s. was 17 nations abstaining from the un resolution to condemn russia and one voting against. african leaders have criticize the double standards of the west and noted the ways in which nato's these word expansion, fuel the current conflict. the majority of mankind that a non white support, russia stand in ukraine, putin is absolutely right. when the u. s. s. are parked nuclear armed missiles in cuba, in 1962, the west was ready to blow up the world over it. now, when nato does the same,
12:14 am
they expect russia to do differently. so as the u. s. called the world, the turning of russia and president bible claims the as ushering in a new world order. are we seeing the world turn their backs on the u. s. instead, and could then new order, the one in which the u. s. is no longer at the top of the food chain in washington, rachel blevins archie. and while the world's attention is still largely focused on the crisis in ukraine, influential countries and humanitarian organizations appear to have turned a blind eye to the destruction in suffering and other war on areas such as in yemen and me, and mar, made concerns that resources are being diverted from those regions and are in an equally pool for ukraine, actually possibly reports. for weeks now, the world's attention has been focused on ukraine's refugees, while they no doubt face a dia, humanitarian crisis. what about the millions of others in the same situation? if we cast so much about people's suffering in ukraine, we should care as much about people in somalia. the kena facet, south sudan,
12:15 am
pakistan where the scale of need is high. it's so frustrating that other countries don't get the level of support they're entitled to were struggling because they don't have the same geopolitical element. mainstream media is also to blame. the ukraine crisis dominates the media spotlight in terms of search terms and publish materials. it's caused indignation even among western allies, the humanitarian suffering that we have seen in ukraine, and everyone is talking about it. now. it has been the suffering gopher, lots of countries in this region, 4 years. and nothing happened. actually the war in yemen has been ongoing for maybe 8 years. it's the world's worst humanitarian disaster. and in march the you in announced a fundraiser with a target, a $4300000000.00. as the conflict enters its 7th year, millions of people continue to suffer in yemen. we need urgent support to continue our work to save lives. but we also need to address the underlying drivers of the
12:16 am
crisis. this will help to make people less vulnerable, build their ability to withstand shocks and give them hope for the future. so how much did the fundraiser make? you guessed it? no way near how much is needed. it is a disappointment that we weren't able as yet to get pledges from some we thought we might hear from yet. the u. s. is asking for its 2023 budget to include nearly $700000000.00 for ukraine. this kind of selectivity leads to an alarming prognosis unless we ring fence the resources that are dedicated to responding to crises in all parts of the world. we risk once hopefully the crisis in ukraine dies down. a huge backfire of other crises that have become much worse and even more difficult to address. while suffering cannot and should not be compared and contrasted. this pattern condemns millions of people around the globe to an effective death sentence . the influx of ukrainian refugees entering neighboring e u countries is continuing to rise. these images shall ukrainians,
12:17 am
crossing the border into poland. the one has estimated that 3 point. 8000000 people have fled, the war torn country. since the conflict are roughly last month, the you interior ministers have agreed to a 10 point plan to help the refugees. archie corresponding cholenski has been there . awesome. 3.8000000 who fled ukraine into the european union. and this plan is about how to deal with them in terms of the registration of who arrives in to ensure that children are getting access to education. but some of the major points that this plan has been implemented do with include the concern around criminal networks that could be looking to profit to take advantage of those who have fled the war in that country. the e. now, as a result of has activated it m t trafficking plan, this is impact. the french ain't to administer shut down the noun, raising concerns from information services,
12:18 am
saying that they were already starting to notice the presence of criminals who were looking to exploit women and children. and that point was reinforced by the commissioner johnson who said that they were also report to aid agencies about suspicious vehicles that have been listened to what she said already before the war, ah, ukrainian citizens were on the top 5 of citizens being traffic into the european union, so already before the war there were criminal networks that were specialized in trafficking ukrainian citizens. and there unfortunately, they are probably still still active. so and now we have increasing report from the you and organizations on the, on the ground, especially in the member states that they, they say that they witness more suspicious cars coming to pick up women and children. now that concern about trafficking isn't something just that the
12:19 am
e was looking at. in fact, there was concern raised in the u. k. just a few days ago about the schemes operating there to help you cranes find a home, essentially been described as tinder for sex traffic. as this was 16 refugee 90 trafficking organizations that sent the traffickers had already made attempts through that scheme to try and reach out ukrainian women and children. but going back to this meeting in brussels on monday, they're also concerns that the routes that have been used by refugees to, to flee. that country could also be used by other criminals, or indeed russian operatives. it was said as 0 down on the french interior minister played down this threat, saying that the was keeping a close eye on this. and that there was and everything that could be done on the ground to ensure that intelligence lists, those who are on those lists don't actually manage to pass through. and there is
12:20 am
another reason for the registration platform. it basically will allow all of this information to shared across the you across the block to make sure that all are pretty much on the same page as to who exactly has come into the since that will start it already soaring energy prices driven up further by sanctions imposed against russia over the ukraine conflict have bolstered concerns about the rising cost of living in europe. one u. k. think tank is now warning that around $1300000.00 britons will be pushed into poverty this year. because of the skyrocketing expenses. cues could also be seen outside supermarkets in greece after reported supply chain disruptions and arise in demand. amid the ongoing conflict and ukraine. customers were reportedly allowed to buy a maximum of 3 bags of flour and 3 bottles of cooking oil per person. we spoke with some of those affected by the supermarket shelves are lacking flour and its price
12:21 am
has gone up. i remember a month ago the price of flour was $0.80 per kilo, and now it costs $1.00 euros. rents are also going up. the electricity bill is increasing while salaries are going down. all prices have gone up, things are messed up and you cannot buy what you want. as some supermarket shelves are empty. the situation with flower is no better in germany. a loaf of bread may double in price to $10.00 euros this year, according to a regional farmers association. it also foresees a general increase in food prices by 20 to 40 percent. with some products such as rape seat oil, a popular cooking ingredient, expected to completely disappear from supermarket shelf. the protests have also rocked the spanish capital and thousands of trucks drivers from the barricade in madrid to protest against skyrocketing fuel prices. they displayed banners hung their horns
12:22 am
and demanded the resignation of the transport minister. one banner, read the oil companies are ripping us off and the government is playing the fool. we heard from joe political analysts who is confident that a despite pressure from washington, d. u. leaders are interested in lifting sanctions against russia and interest of the western government to lift those sanction sooner or later because they are suffocating themselves as soon as the voter, the irregular citizen recognizes that the price for the sanction had to be paid by the citizen itself. those in government may fear losses in popularity and remains to be seen. what will happen next winter if the gas supply crisis will have the thought or if it will be deepened by those sanctions? and by the unwillingness of the g 7 countries to pay
12:23 am
a gas supplies in roubles. so there is a really tangible and cbs risk for the lower layers of society. if the west moves towards russia and get into really serious negotiation, then there is a better prospect, of course, for our economic development. the future of the iran nuclear deal again remains uncertain as us officials say they aren't sure whether they can reach an agreement to restore it. the months long negotiations in vienna are once again on hold, amid reports that the u. s. is unwilling to remove sanctions on iraq and military forces. analysts are warning this could lead to increased tensions in the middle east. and i further rise in oil prices the previous deal which permitted iran to continue its nuclear program with regular checks by foreign inspectors was
12:24 am
abandoned by former us president donald trump, on the claim that it was to lenient made concerns that iran could produce atomic weapons. iran has the world's 4th largest oil reserves after exiting the deal in 2018. the u. s. heavily cramped down on iranian oil exports sanctions were later extended to other sectors leading to a significant drop. any runs g d p. we spoke to mohammed mirandi, a professor and a to from the university who says the country sanctions, policies have hurt regular americans. the united states has been dragging its feet from the beginning of the negotiating process. and it's because this administration is behaving just like trust me in that they want more concessions from iran and they're not going to get it. we already have a deal, and now the united states buy sanctioning so many countries and by having so many conflicts with so many different countries it has, we can,
12:25 am
it's position against iran and therefore iran today is much stronger in dealing with the united states than i've ever seen in my life, so that this has shown that iran is empowered, it shows that the sanctions regime that the united states as imposed has not worked . and it's also showing to the russians that the united states is not as strong as the think the europe ian powers have been turning to gulf states in an attempt to replace russian fuel imports. but those middle eastern countries appear reluctant to do something that could harm their partner. moscow within the opec plus organization. the u. e. z energy minister has described russia as serving an essential role on global energy markets and questioned the prospect of phasing out
12:26 am
russian supplies to europe. cutters, energy minister, while saying his country would stand in solidarity with european countries by continuing to supply them with fuel rejected, imposing sanctions on russian, oil and gas, saying the energy sector should remain outside of politics some within the range of 30 to 40 percent of the total supply of gas comes from russia to actually say that, you know, europe can, can replace that gas. it's not practically possible. it was stretched once again, none of the guys produce gulf countries that is in gas producing such as capital points such as the united arab emirates will be in a position to replace the russian natural gas delivery for the your market. that's the fact. i mean, you have to look at the figure in the use largest economy, germany,
12:27 am
most energy companies have rejected russia's request to pay for their gas imports in roubles. according to the chancellor of shorts, his remarks came after moscow demanded that so called unfriendly countries switch their payments to russia national currency to fatigue, most german buyers of russian gas will continue to pay for it in euro's, in accordance with the currency fixed in their contracts. are done in russia accounts for about 40 percent of the use gas imports, but amid the conflict in ukraine, the wants to cut its dependence on russian energy and has recently inked a deal for expensive liquefied natural gas imports from the us. that's as european powers reject moscow's request for russian energies to be paid for in roubles and claims that it would be a breach of current contracts. russia has responded by saying its western sanctions that have hindered moscow's access to foreign currencies. former austrian foreign minister at con, can i saw,
12:28 am
thinks that european economies will suffer from the measures against russian imports the energy partnerships that has been recently signed in process between the u. s. government and the european commission. when you look at the figure, it tells you that the figures that will rank in that and arthur ship only a percentage of what you import just really need. and any phasing out of russian gas imports will take years. it will take at least for 5 years, it will not be done within this year. and so if there is some sort of suspension of delivery because of a dispute over the terms of contract from whichever side where things could become difficult. does it for me this hour? i will be back in 31 minutes with another full and fresh look at you know, this is our th national, but that was ah
12:29 am
ah, special operation might be in new trade. however, the war is against the west. in general and against wold order, which we have for this. and when the special operation ends, who are going to change the future of you frame the doses way the international relations posted, we traditional financial systems close. and the way i actually in the countries down is russia. ah ah
