a, a potent green lights, rubel gas payments by country sanctioning russia. i think supplies will end if they don't comply with the new tub. russia as ministry of defense releases a leak document pertaining to show ukraine. inquiring about the aristotle spray capacity of a technician. made drone with moscow, continuing to claim that he had thought to deployed biological biological weapons. with the help of the u. s. a. russia invite the usaa and the secretary of state and the president son to explain the funding of bio weapons lapse in ukraine. moscow's representative to the international chemical weapons watchdog says russia will seek and international investigation into the mockup. as we receive documents past the

point to the dangerous benches by dependency on the territory crate, particularly the creation of biological very disturbing pictures. a viking continues in the new york city of mario polo support his work to push the remaining ukrainian new naulty groups from the city. and now just there, a reporter pace to accidentally capture ukrainian soldiers using a civilian ambulance as military transport. ah many thanks for joining us. it's just 16 pm here in moscow. and this is on the international with the latest news update. now, a lot of putin has explained the new mechanism for countries sanctioning russia to

pay for gas in rubles, adding that contracts will be considered void if they refuse. blue book is no good . conclude, i have signed the decree establishing the rules for trading russian natural gas with so called unfriendly countries. the counterparts of these countries will be required to open rouble accounts in russian bang yet from which gas payments will be made. if such payments had not made them, we will consider this default on the parts of the bias with all the ensuing consequences. if we are not going to do charity work, head of let the other one that will in lower won't don joins been a studio now a 3rd more details than don't. how will the new payment terms work now? well, with this new executive order that vladimir putin has assigned, it's set up new conditions for russian gas sales, going to unfriendly states. what russia means when it says on from the states, it means european countries that have put sanctions against the country. now these states need to buy now roubles on the moscow stock exchange,

and they need to fill. they need to use these rules to fill accounts in unsanctioned russian banks and put in as already said. as we saw just earlier, that if these accounts are not filled with enough money by april, 1st than all existing contact contracts in terms of gas sales are going to be considered no and void. now, in also, in his recent statement, the russian president spoke a bit about the u. s. his recent actions aimed at obstructing the growth of russia . he said that these actions are actually having the unintended consequence of threatening to d. d, industrialize europe. so let's take a listen to what he said. so say sure, the us will try to capitalize on the current global and stability by attempting to move europe over to expensive american liquefied gas. as a result, your pins and not only post to full count more, but to also undermine the competitiveness of the companies with their own hands, by removing them from the global market. to europe, this means large scale, the industrialization loss of millions of jobs and attracted decline in the

standard of living, such as this is the price of the ruling western elite are offering to pay people for their ambition. the economic war they're trying to unleash against russia. have unleashed the discussion. now, it was actually earlier this month that the russian president, at the 1st time said that these on friendly countries are going to have to start paying for russian gas in russian roubles. and this was met with mixed reactions. i mean, countries like japan, i reacted in confusion while others, like germany acted, responded in outright defiance. and this is actually a position that they said back then that they're not going to do that. and that they've stood by, even after this most recent statement from the russian president. and we also heard a similar reaction from the french ministry of finance. that's that they are not planning to pay for their gas in russian roubles. now it's also important to note that just last week is stony as prime minister and a former us ambassador to russia suggested that moscow should have to face

penalties for its military offensive in ukraine. they said that russian companies should continue supplying the west with gas, but that payments for that gas should be held in escrow until the end of the military operation. but obviously now with this new executive order, it's pretty clear any sort of scheme like that would actually both terribly for europe itself. okay, it don quota, thanks for coming in with the details. appreciate him. almost go said he plans to invite us the under secretary of state victoria newland on the us president son hunter biden who russia came, was financing by all of our trees in ukraine for explanations. not sure that she arlia the chairman of the state, duma, instructed our international committee to begin the procedure of preparing an invitation for explanations from us. officials. these mrs. newland and biden junior said they were in the meeting via said, special working groups will be formed to prepare evidence. the commission intends

to involve a wide range of scientific experts off the way to report will be sent to the president and prosecutor general's office. and his conclusions will then be made public meshes, ambassador to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons. alexander shaw again said that russia will seek an international probe into the pentagon sensitivities in ukraine. i mean it does. we received documents testifying to the dangerous benches by the pentagon on the territory of ukraine, particularly the creation of biological weapons, a very disturbing pictures emerging that research was conducted on ways to transmit dangerous diseases to humans. through mice, there is a feeling that americans are focused on studying passages that have natural centers on both the territory of ukraine and russia. this was done in order to disguise the use of biological weapons as an outbreak of natural diseases. we are very concerned about this that the united states has not yet recognize this fact. we will see can

international investigation into the criminal activities of the pentagon on the territory of ukraine as a saucer of the military operation in ukraine, various european countries have expelled russian diplomats. 45 russians have left poland to bulgaria has made 10 diplomats presented on grocer and the baltic states expelled 10, such as voice and their families. but at the length is also recently decided to expel 17 diplomats accusing them of espionage, russian, and bass. the to the netherlands, alexander, shall again say the action appears coordinated to take revenge on russia. mister shows, in recent days we have seen a number of nato european countries expel our diplomats, or their looks like a coordinated action to take revenge on russia for the fact that we are conducting a special military operation to protect people in the don. this is a short sighted policy and by reducing diplomatic contacts these countries and narrowing the opportunities for dialogue and only delaying the prospect of improving international relations. authority have indeed declared 17 diplomats

persona non grata allegedly for illegal activities on the territory. but no evidence was presented to us to be more precise. we were told that the evidence exists, that they will not show it to us and said we will just have to take their word for it in a conversation with my dutch colleagues, i stress that russia will definitely not leave this friendly and without a response. straight by sullivan murray. i'm pulling a don. yes people's republic continue was joined. rushing on us 4th is fine. ukrainian near nancy groups that remain in the city. ah but it shows intense fighting as troops and vehicles were to push. nationalists forces out of the city. the arm of the vehicle can be seen firing as a building from which a sniper was believed to be firing at russian. don yes. forces separate footage

filmed by a tank crew and mario po, shows a vehicle firing at another residential building, also occupied by ukrainian nationalists would set up a firing position inside. meanwhile, a report on t v news channel out there appears to accidentally come to the moment uninjured ukrainian militants, the exit a civilian ambulance, a camera pans to reveal what appeared to be armed ukrainian militants. exiting the vehicle clearly marked with a red cross. the camera operator then quickly returns to the reporter. it's alleged that the soldiers be using the ambulance to avoid being fired upon russian employees of our french china, lottie francais, their bank accounts were banned without any warning. meaning they can't access money, they get for their work. the head of anti frauds is highlighted that this is discrimination on the basis of nationality as only people with russian citizenship were affected. or correspondent charlotte dimansky has more. this is due to

a decision that was taken by european union earlier this month and asked the banks to do checks on accounts that related to russians and beller russians who in the european union to ensure that there was no circumvention of sanction. so we knew that elm around the 16th of march, the units that russians wouldn't be able to hold more than a $100000.00 euros in the account. so the letters that have been sent out to many people, close europe are related to that. when it comes to empty fronts, employees, as we understand this, again, was also a check that was being carried out by one bank in particular. this is so c a t nfl . and they said that those checks would have been the cancer only being frozen between $1.00 and $2.00 days that we'd be speaking to some of the employees from r t fronts who are still receiving pay despite fact the food cost was taken off.

and i just, a few weeks ago at one told us that he was in complete shock when it happened to him that the district, this is truly an extraordinary situation in early march, the 1st rumor spread that people may have problems with french banks. but we thought that this would apply to people on the sanctions lists oligarchy, those who have more than 100000 euros. it didn't seem that it would affect us. one day i saw on my mobile phone screen that my salary had been paid to my personal card. and after a few hours, the money had disappeared, as if it had never been there. this is not just about archie france, this is an all encompassing problem for russian people in france. there are now entire groups of people on telegram saying they've had similar problems. we've also be hearing from another french employee, a french citizen who said that for him such action shows that russians are being singled out and found or discriminated, of course, because this is not so there is,

they are not big. both. he knows just on pro is a simple employee isn't and as a filler or under sanction, waiter 0. not officially sanctioned. there is a warranty or some people are enforcer. but person, for example, right now, this is a russian, there is no equality. but either this isn't an issue that's just affecting russians here in france. as i mentioned, that you sent out at this, at least 2 banks to say you need to check the bank accounts of all russians and bella russians in europe. and that's been the case with russians receiving letters, whether they live in spain or germany, or other parts, the e u. i most of the time telling them that they need to go to the bank and have a chat them so they can prove where their sources of income comes from. and we understand that in spain alone, some 8000 russian clients are now having their bank accounts. moment it,

it does seem to be though, for the most part that this is an administrative issue that people have to deal with. but nonetheless, it will put a lot of russians on a sense of a level of fear about what this could mean to them in the future. we have also heard on thursday that working for companies like r t, as just become pretty impossible if you live in the u. k. the foreign secretary has announced in new sanctions. let's have a listen to at least trust how to say britain has helped lead the world in exposing kremlin does information. and this latest batch of sanctions hits the shameless propagandist to push out vladimir putin fake news, a narrative. so what does it mean? well, just like we sing with the other sanctions, it means those who now on the list won't be able to remain in the u. k, or have leave to travel to the u. k. if they want to do that, it also means that they have assets within the u. k. at these assets will be frozen

. so if that's a home, people won't be able to access the home. if that's a bank account, they will not be able to access the funds in that bank account. unless trust has said that nothing and no one is off the table when it comes to the sanctions. meaning that the crackdown or russians may still have fall wider scope than expected. luscious ministry of defense has released and leaks document sent by attackers defense company to ukraine. in response to keith, inquiring if a drawing manufactured by the company can hold and spray aerosols and the long distance is asking life not well corresponded mine, gaseous. and we're on this more and get to see, well, can you tell us about this documents? and what does this suggest? well 1st off, this document published by the russian ministry of defense is a correspondence they intercepted rural, aquatic, otherwise. nevertheless,

it is correspondence between a turkish company which manufactures a wide range of offensive military drones, the by doctor t. b 2 as well as in this case, what they were talking about was the buyer actor. i can eat you, which is another drone that is manufactured by by target and the ukranian side. apparently the questions, various questions were posed by the ukranian side. the ukranian government agency for export controls and they asked questions such as, you know, what's the maximum range, how far, and how long the stroke can stay in the air. what it's payload is, one of the questions was, ah, but it stated, does this drone have the ability to spray more than 20 liters of aerosols? whilst in the end of the question is the russian military is asking, what is a reasonable explanation for why the ukrainian military, what, what to spray aerosols from a military drone?

just before, you know, as tensions were, mounting, this is against the backdrop of a wide range of uh, united states funded bio labs being uncovered in ukraine. something that russia had been talking about for years. it had it had been ignored for years, the subject. but now we've learned that yes in the united states is confirmed that, that various viruses idly, viruses were being researched in these laboratories. there, there has been no answer yet. the russian side has requested common for both ukraine and the turkish company. responsible for manufacturing these drones. this was all this acc shaved by the way happened on the 15th of december, just scant months before the russian special operation here began. and at a time when the united states was openly talking about the, a russian military buildup and also warning that the eat would be russia that could perhaps use chemical weapons in ukraine. again, no answers for why ukraine would want to spray aerosols from military drones. and

there are, of course, all sorts of speculation that are now being, being seen happening, taking place across social media at. nevertheless, we know that the, the, again, the, the, the wide scope that the united states had been engaged in researching these. these viruses and pathogens in labs across you create something that even president biden son had been apparently implicated, providing financing for the various companies that are involved in all of this. and many thanks for the update on that as nancy's lancaster. and they will pay duty on china will hold talks on friday with the crane on relations with russia most likely on the agenda. beijing refuses to follow the western russia, but the he wants to ensure china's neutrality he's relationship with china has been complex in recent years. and now officials look and confirmed what role baiting may play in the russia ukraine crisis with china still refusing to join the west in

denouncing moscow's actions. china was one of the countries that abstain from voting on the un security council resolution condemning mosca, and they've has also supported rushes complaints about nato expansion. joseph gregory mahoney, profess of politics and international relations at east china. normal university sees the summit is a great opportunity to clarify chinese position to the e. u. well, the chinese site has made it clear that it's a mistake to link china, russia relations or china's neutrality on the conflict in ukraine with you. relations. however, leaks from the you indicate that european leaders do intend to pressure china to limit cooperation with russia. now this is true, then these efforts will likely fail in so much of similar efforts from us. we're also rebuffed, but if it's merely posturing them they'll, you know, get their sound bites and, and perhaps move on to more serious discussions with chinese side is indicated that

they see this meeting as an opportunity to better explain of the chinese position. but in fact, your opinion leaders like my crown and child have communicated directly with president sheet. i'm paying about about ukraine. so europe already understands china quite well on this issue. however, they probably want to hear from china again, given russian foreign minister aloud. rob's recent meetings here in china, so ah, but in other comments ahead of the summer, china has also indicated that china might serve as a bridge for europe to re engage with russia wants this conflict, winds down, but i don't think european leaders are ready to hear that at least not in such an open forum, joe biden has been found to have used a cheat sheet in his latest press conference as he doubled down on an unscripted message to alst russian liter vladimir putin. his comments closely aligned with

those printed on a small piece of paper which he held in his left hand as he spoke. the note showed a question, asking biden, to clarify his earlier remark, that putin cannot remain in power as well as how bind and should answer that he was simply expressing moral outrage. and his words did not mean a change in us policy. we spoke to us radio host john elliot to say the cheat sheet is not the biggest of biden's concerns right now. joe biden has what we call a stream of consciousness. that gets out a hand. he says he's been doing it for 30 years. he says things that are silly, stupid, or wrong, and others they pay people scratch their head and say, what, what does he say? so when joe biden finished to hit reading, the teleprompter, he went off script where is in send you ation every dream change, which he didn't mean which of course, the united states, the state department went nuts and walked that back and said, no,

there's no talk of regime change, we're not wanting a regime change. that's not what we're asking here. that's not we're advocating the rising gas prices, which of course, the president really has nothing you can do about it is what it is. rising gas prices ending and inflation are the 2 biggest things. the bottom line is, how much does it cost me for a loaf of bread? how much does it cost me to feed my family? how much more am i spending than i did last year? and look at the price of gas, that's a hell of a lot more than it was before. so those are the 2 issues and issues and they continue to pummel is approval ratings. rushes requested a probing, in most cases of alleged torture by ukrainian soldiers. the criminal spokesperson says they will provide all evidence to a new special commission set up by the un. just one particularly disturbing example of many comes with a new pencil and prob, it led to a green berets off with just rep prolongs despite the investigation finding they tortured and asked and soldier in 2018 so badly that he died hours later days.

rachel blevins reports. there has been silence from the west after video service on social media that appeared to show russian soldiers being tortured by ukrainian troops lava the russian, an ukrainian government has said they will launch investigations into the disturbing footage and binding ministration has have a little to say on the matter, however, it's also the u. s. military that has a long history of the accusations of abuse. in fact, as recently as 2018 soldiers from both the u. s. and the czech republic that were stationed in afghanistan were investigated, falling reports of a tortured and killed a 19 year old afghan soldier. after he opened fire on check horses killing, at least one the room appeared to have been cleaned, however, blood spatter was identified on the walls and ceiling. the laboratory analysis of the blood spatter revealed to blood matched the dna profile of mister y duleigh.

yet, as is all too often the case, the conduct of the american soldiers allegedly involved was defended by the u. s. military, as it claimed there was no evidence, they tortured the man who died while in their custody. in this case, the investigations results did not present sufficient evidence of misconduct beyond a reasonable doubt for any of the offenses which is the standard required to obtain a conviction at court martial. furthermore, there was not probable cause to believe that the most serious alleged offences including murder, had occurred. but this is the 1st time that alleged abuse of the hands of the us military has been ignored, swept under the rug and even justify what montano bay became infamous for the heretic torture methods used on the suspects. related to the attacks on 911 ghana, stan had its own version. the bag room prison established by the us in 2002 became just that it was a place where thousands of prisoners were allegedly tortured and interrogated by us

forces. and were the conditions were quarterly so bad that the prisoners who give survive the only options were to either die go insane or be crippled. meanwhile, over in iraq, the abu ghraib prison became known for the disturbing images of us troops torturing rocky prisoners following the 2003 invasion. but even though the scandal received international attention, only 11 soldiers were convicted, most of which led to minor sentences and none of which included murder charges. the 20 year long war on terror has led to repeated calls for justice from organizations like amnesty international. but the department of defense continues to defend its forces, even in cases like the 2007 bombing in baghdad, where us soldiers were reportedly reported launching airstrikes, the targeted civilians and journalists, and then laughing as they watched them die. so the question then becomes if the u. s. and has nato allies don't support justice for their own troops, then will they supported in ukraine in washington?

rachel, blevins, r t. many, thanks for joining us. i went off international move back at the top of the i with the late the, the l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to rate trust rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with

a wrong one. i just don't know if you have to figure out the thing becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. i was just a recall with this with you, i guess with you. i'm with

full credit, i guess it would from beach good enough to still easy for this patient, but i to in the board with

a city where can you spoke with her from others that both both no moms in the deal with grandma but a lot of them bought a wall with

with a widow, pollution estoppel. so those should be able to pick those up for you if there was a little grace for argument. you much, anybody a side you got with they need that was do even in that book i watched on your mobile in the store with with with these are people fleeing from southeastern

ukraine. some have been bomb shelters for nearly 3 weeks. there was no phone reception, so many had no idea how to get out of town with let me see if he's done a dollar with us before enough. so some walked 4 hours through a humanitarian corridor that heard about others, decided to risk it and just drove out, hoping not to get caught in the crossfire. some were wandering around looking for a way out when they were picked up by russian soldiers.
