the, the, with, amid and unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in mario pal and archie cru helps provide a residence in need and a fit in evacuation from the embattled city. so you can take a look at some of the things that were bringing in water from chocolate for children. and of course i have a huge box of medicine. ukrainian children are reportedly caught on camera training for war and stopping cars to identify russians by asking the code word. as part of a reported government supported push towards our international mexico. the president denies us allegations that his country serves as a base for russian intelligence agents. the white house has indefinitely postponed

a special summit with leaders from across se asia, replacing it with a bilateral summit with singapore, after that country openly condemned russia. ah . but catherine lived direct from our 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, recent made events amid the ukraine conflict. russia's top diplomat, sergei lab rob is in china to meet with his counterpart there for the 1st time since the war in ukraine interrupted last month. the russian foreign minister is then to travel to india, amid reports that india is increasing its purchasers of russian oil. meanwhile, british leader board johnson has said that it will take more than a ceasefire in ukraine for the sanctions against russia to be lifted. he wants

guarantees for caves, future security, and across the atlantic. in canada, the prime minister justin trudeau has warned that the western sanctions against russia will affect the lives of canadian citizens. ah, meanwhile, rushes military says that it has completed its initial objectives in ukraine and can now focus on the dumbass, which has seen the most intense fighting over the past month. this is the latest footage from mario pal in the danielle people's republic. russia claims that it has taken control over most of the coastal city on the sea of as of but st. battles are continuing as ukrainian soldiers and neo nazi groups are reportedly remaining in the city. ortiz room on close roof is in multiple delivering aid and helping people get to safety. the signs of humanitarian catastrophe are everywhere in the city of maria pole and to be coming. therefore, just for quite a few days. already, every time we've been bringing a humanitarian aid to the things like of food, camp,

food, our water, medicine and other items as well. all the last few days. friends of mine have given me, donated money in order to bring food and medicine and everything else are the people a variable? it's still not safe there, so shelling is still taking place. so i am, i do need to wear a bullet proof vest once i'm there, but say you can take a look at some of the things that were bringing itself water chocolate. so for the children, and of course i have a huge box of medicine and it's not just any medicine. people have actually requested things that have to do with a heart disease that things for it's, they're living in basements at the moment. so many children are actually of falling sick with a flu and some bring antibiotics as well. so once again,

we are going to the city approval and we'll continue doing that until the humanitarian catastrophe is over. mm. mm. mm. 9 with i see there's a feeling that may have happening are a lot of people have been without food and water for a while a long time. and you're basically picking up the fighting for bread for can good canada for everybody today. but i promise that, so i will be back here every day and i still was actuator. and catastrophe is find that the owner, who in,

ah ah, driving around in them are you looking for a certain address and we got to stop by i'm civilians here and it's free that they asked us to take this elderly gentleman to the off the boat already he needs urgent help right now. so we are taking him to the hospital. mm. yeah, for that issue. 84 years old or world war 2. 414 years ago when he was a child with significant best

time, the war found wants to get off the door and hopefully want one. once he comes out, everything here with us just asked to evacuate, said 3 people from a married couple. an elderly woman, another woman and her son, and so they asked me to take them to grow stall, rush out there already waiting for me on the outskirts of variable. and we're going to pick them up right now. ah, so with

one of the russians it was called here with as well, and the trip will take about 4 hours and that will be there soon. and hopefully on the other side of their relatives, we'll meet them and we'll show you that as well. ah ah ah, russia has received a draft agreement that could see ukraine become a non aligned,

neutral country, following the latest round of negotiations in support of the current piece efforts . moscow has agreed to drastically reduce its military activity near keith, but ukrainian president zalinski says moscow is not to be trusted. dock morton on the zillow. it was it the we can call positive the signals we hear from the negotiating platform olive. but these signals do not silence the explosion of russian shells. of course, we see all the risk. of course, we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of a state that continues to fight for our destruction. the ukrainians are not naive people, wholly ukrainians have already learned during these 34 days of invasion. and over the past 8 years of the war in the dawn based that only a concrete result can be trusted. that ukrainian children have been reportedly filmed playing war games, dressing up as nationalists fighters carrying replica weapons and using nationalist symbols and signs. they have also, apparently been seen checking cars for russians by asking everyone

a code word liberal that was put up. uh huh. so let me follow the heat possibly in the base with this it almost so nuclear was, was in you nothing new mom. the, but of been with us. it was in the reports about ukrainian children being trained to fight russia emerged long before the war opted last month with claims that kids were being indoctrinated and prepared for warfare at summer camps in ukraine including chanting, national slogans. let me give you like it is still an open circuit. all the still cry you may was the 1st if you could advise me, this is not still yet. then there are 2 separate east and then what or civilian? usually she was supposed to contact them and monday was the move through this morning. i love that mother that you just

heard is based on a greeting, popularized in nazi germany and the 1940. it was created by ukrainian nationalists, reportedly who collaborated with hitler's forces during world war 2. now that group is said to have participated in crimes against jews, including the bobby yard massacre and committed ethnic cleansing in poland. a small children are reportedly being indoctrinated with neo nazi symbols as well such as this young girl appearing with a swastika. and as of battalion signs on social media, she was shown holding a knife and raising her hand in an apparent hitler's salute while shouting out threats to russians. this, there are also reported rises in anti semitism and the persecution of roma. people in ukraine as well as restrictions on the use of the russian language and the destruction of soviet world war 2 monuments. we discussed the issue of ultra

nationalism among children with a clinical psychologist, chloe carmichael, author of the book, nervous energy, harness the power of your anxiety and the creator of a special kids care system. she says it's natural for children to copy the adults around them. at this age, children are very much like sponges. they're learning everything. they're learning how to speak, they're learning what their name is. everything that they're learning about, their identity is coming to them through the adults in their life. so at this very young, tender, vulnerable age, they could be very impressionable as far as learning and understanding who is an enemy, who is a friend, who is a fo, children do use play as a way to cope with stress or to feel power fall when they are feeling scared, so for many children, even acting out in a playful way,

scenes about war or conflicts, can be a way of coping or feeling powerful during extreme stressors. despite attempts to silence the russian media in the you, a recent poll in france has revealed that more than half of the respondents agree with russia's reasons for entering the ukraine. conflict rightly some of them are cheese show, davinsky has a store force when o c. and other channels described as being propaganda. tools of the kremlin was shut down a month ago. european leaders were triumphant. the state owned russia to date and sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lives to justify proteins war. and to saw division in our union, no more influence the public would be able to get them media from trusted sources.

but despite not having easy access to russian media and belie used, it apparently wants to tell you about the war in ukraine. people in france still armed, too keen to follow the heard. no, they all making up their own minds about what's going on. a pole has found that more than half of those questions believe at least one of russians reasonings as to why the war broke out. despite the denials of the media, the authorities, and all the work of verifying information, a large number of french people are permeable to putin speeches aimed at justifying the invasion of ukraine. so let's dig into the figures. 30 percent of those who responded felt nieto was a cause issue with ukraine being encouraged, oscar membership. obviously you don't receive it. obvious. of course. yes. all western countries, they always wanted ukraine like pulling, even if it isn't part of the you to join nato to annoy the russians. this war could

have been avoided by a green with russia that ukraine would not join nato and that the americans would not station or sit up there. american base there. that's what started the war 28 percent of people believe the russian intervention is supported by russian speaking ukrainians. who are trying to free themselves from persecution. oh no, no, i do not think so. i doubt it. they are brothers from years ago. i think there are facts that can be verified, different documents or archives that can be found. you must weigh the pros and cons, contrast them and arrive at a certain accuracy that's as relevant as possible. while 10 percent thought ukraine is currently agenda infiltrated by neo nazi movements, the group on campus, it's no secret. there are small neo nazi groups, but it's important not to generalize because there are small nazi groups in other eastern european countries to come as someone who follows football. i've seen ultra

movements in eastern europe, such as in hungary or poland. not all hungarians or all holes or neo nazis. i think it's the same for ukraine upon good. so just who all these people that according to french outlets believe in such alarming conspiracy theories, according to eiffel, which conducted the pole, it is supporters from the hard right of eric the more as well as those in the polar opposite. the hot left who back shall nuke men and show. but the real punch comes from where people digest, they so called news. those who are most sensitive to conspiracy theories are getting their information from the like. so facebook and twitter. and what do we learn from all of this? well, according to eiffel, it's that anti faxes are now playing russian roulette. some of those who believed in anti vaccine theses have switched to supporting putin's policy. the findings also apparently suggest that if you have

a pull show for reading your horoscope or even believe in magic, you are probably more likely to succumb to ideas that are just not acceptable in the mainstream media. so we could bang social media, stop the meddling horoscopes, burn harry potter books, and only print what is sanctioned by those who are o dane to be in the know only a real strategy of education in critical reasoning and better regulation and platform homes can combat this phenomena and it feel sometimes like it's only one step away from the thought police charlotte g, blue sky. i'll see paris despite washington saying the indo pacific region is a foreign policy priority. the white house has indefinitely postponed a special summit with leaders from across south east asia. it was replaced with a bilateral summit with singapore, after it opened the condemned russia or cheese rachel blevins comments at the start

of this year, the white house as a new hit in its foreign policy. it was going to concentrate on the east with a strategic focus on establishing the american presence firmly in the in the pacific under president biden. the united states is determined to strengthen our long term position in commitment to the indo pacific. we will focus on every corner of the region from northeast asia and southeast asia, to south asia and oceania, including the pacific islands. well, it has been less than a month since that $900.00 page document was published and it has not been met with a warm welcome as it seems that every quarter of the region is not keen on having washington dictate their policy while the buying the administration promised to summit with representatives of the 10 countries that make at the association of south east asian nations, which press secretary again, socket described as a top priority to show that the u. s. is a strong, reliable partner in the region. yeah,

that's the one that has now been postponed indefinitely. instead, president biden held a bilateral some. it was singapore alone this week. why singapore? well, as the only country in southeast asia that is complied with washington's demand, to condemn and impose sanctions against russia. i'm sure you are right. know what the job a so why the cold shoulder from the rest? well, as the u. s. has made clear and it's criticism of the neutral positions taken by china and india. the buying and ministration expects nothing short of full condemnation of russia right now. but many of the countries in the region has strong economic ties with russia, and they're not willing to jeopardize that relationship out washington's command. for example, vietnam relies heavily on russia for its coal supply, which served as the largest product in the $1780000000.00 worth of goods that be in

on ordered from russia and 2020. on the other hand, indonesia relies on russia to buy its resources with over $1000000000.00 worth of goods exported or russia in 2020. but it's not just about the economic impact. it's also a question of the overall gravity. the u. s. has is it dictates the rules for both policy and condemnation. in fact, just last week, the u. s. declared a genocide of the people in me. i'm are a member of the southeast asian alliance with some even calling for military intervention. the u. s. government should couple, it's condemnations of mine. mars military with action for too long. the u. s. and other countries have allowed my mars generals to commit atrocities with few real consequences. they're both of intentions with cambodia, which is the chair of the alliance after the u. s. and allison arms embargo back in december, claiming it was concerned about the influence of china's military. we urge the cambodian government to make meaningful progress and addressing corruption and

human rights abuses and to work to reduce the influence of the p. r. c. military and cambodia, which threatens regional and global security. so washington is sending the message, the nations in the region can't get too close to china or russia, or they may find themselves facing action from the us. but that didn't stop in donasia from joining china and voicing support for russia's place in the g 20 alliance, noting that it is the premier gathering for economic cooperation, not a political venue. and speaking of china, beijing just confirm that it will be hosting the foreign ministers of indonesia, thailand, the philippines, and me and mark this week. china will also have in depth exchanges of views with all parties on the current, regional and international situation and contribute more positive energy to regional peace and stability and global prosperity and development. so it appears that the increased pressure on the u. s. is actually pushing key countries in southeast asia, even closer to the nations. they are being warned to stay away from a policy that is not working out too well for the buying and in washington,

rachel blevins, archie the senior u. s. military official has said that there are more russian spies in mexico than anywhere else in the world. general glen vanhorn, head of the u. s. northern command made the claim to a senate committee. i would point out that the largest portion of g r u members in the world is in mexico right now. those are russian intelligence personnel and they keep an eye very closely on their opportunities to have influence on us oppertunity and axis. mexico's president has brushed off the allegations and emphasized that his country is, quote, not colony of russia. china or the united states. as a ramos, than mexico is a free, independent sovereign country. it should be no more and more because sometimes it seems that it is not understood enough. we have to send them telegrams,

warning them that mexico was not a colony of any foreign country. that mexico is a free, independent sovereign country, that we are not a colony of russia, neither from china, nor from the united states. recently, a day after the russian ambassador gave a speech to mexican lawmakers about the newly inaugurated mexico, russia friendship committee, us ambassador, lashed out saying, such close ties between mexico and russia could, quote, never happened. we heard from an american political cartoonist who says the us will try to prevent such deep ties with russia because washington wants to control mexico. on top of that, just it is the fact that the united states is, is talking out of 2 sides of their mouths that they want to control canada, mexico, the entire western hemisphere through the monroe doctrine. look at what happened back in the early 1960 s during the cuban missile crisis. the united states did,

you know, threatened to invade cuba and sent an anti castro cubans, right? wingers to go and try to overthrow the government of cuba at the time. because cuba was too close to what was then the soviet union. but you know, they, they don't understand why a country like russia might not want an enemy allied military alliance right on their border. the economic can fall out from western sanctions against russia is now spreading to more countries and continents. consumers across europe and africa are now bearing the brunt of the backlash amid soaring food and fuel prices. thousands of truck drivers have formed road blocks in madrid, calling for the resignation of spain's transport minister over skyrocketing fuel prices. it is the latest development of protests in the spanish capital over the past 2 weeks and made economic backlash over western sanctions against russia.

meanwhile, the chairman of the french energy regulatory commission has urged residents to conserve electricity and gas due to a risk of supply disruptions. we must conserve gas and electricity in france right now. otherwise things could go wrong. next winter was it's 19 degrees celsius in my home, i put on to sweaters. i only heat the rooms that i live in. i don't know what else to do. i'm used to this. i don't see what more i can do. i guess of course you have to cut back and that's it. you have to reduce everything to reduce your expenses for water and pay attention to everything right now. we'll have to get used to it. so can you see, since i'm particularly concerned about the industry, about agriculture, because if we have a harsh winter in france, it'll postpone a lot of things, especially the efforts that we're ready to make there are limits. we'll see how it's ultimately a matter of the collective conscience. i live alone,

so it's easy for a family, it's much more difficult. the italian economy has also been hit hard farmers say that they are on the verge of bankruptcy amid dramatically rising cost. they are afraid their supplies might come to an end class. could you indicate i know several companies that will be forced to close because of the very difficult economic situation and others that when they faced the end of their supplies, we'll have to do the math and think about whether to continue their production or face closure. the main problem, since the outbreak of the war has been the increase in the cost of raw materials, particularly corn and soy. the energy costs have doubled out for the boomerang effect of economic sanctions is now being felt not only in europe, but on the african continent. as well, kenya has raised diesel and petrol prices by 5 kenyan shillings and historic high. the move is expected to significantly increase the cost of living in the east african countries where the majority of households rely on kerosene and petroleum

gas for cooking. here's what some locals have been saying. i have come from various places all over this town looking for fuel, we have moved all around up. i am even forced to push my motor bike. so that was if this motor bike and i got it on loan. i still have to pay for it out, you know, i have not earned any money all day. i have not found any work and there's no fuel in town. i got the price started at $1.00 oh, $6.00 canyon shillings and just keeps going up. i mean, it's now more than $145.00 shillings. we've been having a big problem here in nairobi with fuel. i just arrived here at the petrol station . there is no fuel left and the price is very high. according to experts, many of the products used to make petrol and diesel come from russia and ukraine and as at all, because there is war there. we're having these problems over here making fuel prices shoot up and also creating a supply shortage. i have traveled all the way from the city of caps, a bet, and i'm trying to get fuel for my car like it. it has become

a challenge because we don't know what is happening last week last week we had the same problem. we don't know if the problem is also in other cities or if it's only like this year in nairobi, my mother, i am forced to leave my car here. now i don't see anything that i can do with it. we heard from a research fellow at the university of hamburg, who thinks that it is up to the people of europe, to persuade their governments to stop handicapping their own economies. american imperialism is once again showing i believe, a and is at the most ugly when you look at african nations that are now really struggling and in the future with the lack of pride to live those. for example, the true situation there will only get worse. yes, what we're seeing at the truck approach, for example, those are the press signs of people saying no to the politicians because they take their own interest into their own high and go to the street. and in this continues that we'd be more proto to europe. then i believe that you are full and petitions

will grow as a spine and talk to by in a different way. and they will tell him stop. we must stop the economic destruction and who must save the economic future of our continent. meanwhile, friendship president emanuel macross says that it would be impossible to pay for gas supplies in roubles, as requested by moscow, in a phone call with the russian leader. let him in putin a crown insisted that switching to roubles would break the terms of the contracts. moscow had said that it would supply gas paid for in rubles, or none at all. russia accounts for about 40 percent of the use gas imports. i made the fall out of the conflict in ukraine. the block is moving to cut. it's a dependence on russian energy supplies, and recently ain't a deal to buy more expensive liquefied natural gas from the us. instead, moscow's permanent representative to the use of europe seems to be seeking to inflict massive economic damage on its own people and businesses. what is the g 7?

it's an informal club for a number of countries. all of them actually falling into the category of those who have been produced sanctions against russia. so they are point of view. oh, will hardly be decisive in what happens. all these measures are they are an additional impact on the already overheated to beach and then the energy sector of the european union weight, oh, was aggravated not as a result of anything that russia was doing. but as the result of sanctions being introduced by the european union and other western countries against the russian energy sector, definitely, there will be a major impact because so according to

o economists and no energy specialist that matter. oh no, there is no other alternative source in the short term that can fill that gap should oh, russian, go get supply, be terminated now. so we'll have to see the european union is speaking of perspective regarding, oh, we need of the russian and the supplies. but that will take time. i don't want to speaker how many years, but certainly it's many years. but there's a for me with our i will be back in about 29 minutes with another for and 1st with international. ah, with.
