a with this information that tact was witnessed in the city of boucher and the key of region following withdrawal of the russian troops. russia's foreign minister slams disturbing footage from butch f. as in this information attack, the images have prompted kevin some western countries to blame russian forces for the mass killings of civilians that says you k locked russians call for a un security council meeting on the ukrainian media pulls its own fake news report, which blamed russia for the gruesome killing of a woman whose claudie was found with a swastika carved into her stomach and a ukrainian nationalist stronghold, we speak to the american journalist to expose the story. this happened in the basement number 25 with

a great 4th grade force. had been tortured and strangled, and more disturbing footage emerges from ukraine, apparently showing the execution of injured russian soldier. that's as we hear 1st hand accounts from russian soldiers describing their ordeal in captivity. people were being beaten, they didn't even scream, they howled. it just doesn't sound human, they beat one soldier all night. and in the morning they said, do you have a know that you slept for the course with so little after 5 am here on the russian capital, and you're watching our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. a disinformation war. that's the assessment from the russian foreign minister of

footage that's emerged from the ukranian town of boucher, which shows disturbing images of dead bodies of civilians lying in the streets with others piled in mass grades, ukraine's defense ministry says the killings were perpetrated by russian troops. now a warning you may find the following images disturbing. these pictures are from the town of boucher and have circulated throughout various media outlets as journalists gained access to the town. days after ukrainian forces entered the area in the wake of a russian military withdrawal. they apparently show the burned bodies of a family, including children, and the images have not been independently verified, but kiev is accusing russia sole russian soldiers of being responsible, commenting on the butcher killings foreign minister, sir gay lab. rob said the story is dis, it is a disinformation attack and has an anti russian agenda aimed at western audience. with this information attack was witnessed in the city of boucher and the key of

region. following withdrawal of the russian troops are truth, withdrew from the area and accordance with the plans and previously reached agreements. several days later, there was a staging this snowing, spread across the media and social platforms by ukraine and its western patrons. with russian forces footy retreated from the city on the 30th of march on the 31st to march, the cities man made a statement saying everything was in order. in 2 days later, we saw that stage footage from the streets of boucher which they now are attempting to use for anti russian purposes. but in a couple of weeks ago, there were attempts to misrepresent the situation and one of maria poles with tendency hospitals as a crime committed by the russian troops who later became clear. those attempts had been made to cause a provocation. the materials presented were later exposed as fights. the international community was quick to lay the blame for the mass killings on some of civilians on russia before any investigation had even taken place with the u. s.

saying it will call to suspend russia from the un human rights council. earlier french president emmanuel macro said russian forces are responsible and that moscow will have to quote, answer for its crimes. and while british and u. s. officials have called foreign investigation by the international criminal court. u. k. has blocked russia's call for an urgent un security council meeting on monday, commenting on the decision russia's ambassador to the un again said the boucher killings were a staged provocation by key of from the very beginning. it has been clear that this is nothing else, but yet another stage pro occasionally aimed at discrediting and dixon, realizing of the russian military and leveling political rational pressure on russia. i think that's the truth of what happened in which it will reveal. so there is a ambassador certainly did not hold anything back during that press conference. and

he specifically went on to note a number of the claims that are being made that are being spread all across social media right now. and how they simply don't line up with the facts. he referred to this as a false live operation. he specifically noted that the mayor of boucher was smiling and happy and talking about how the city was re i've russian forces just a few days before mentioned mentioning nothing about any sort of civilian casualties. and he then went on to take a look at the videos that are being posted across social media to know how they simply do not line up with the world in which we saw that the russian troops were there in boucher for weeks that they were there with the civilians of the civilians were allowed to walk freely. now he also noted that all of these statements that he was making that he wanted to be making them before the united nations security council. however,

he noted that it was the u. k. that claim men came in and blocked that though, and he referred to that action as unprecedented. take a listen to what he had to say. i'm president. that unbelievable, unsinkable that we were denied the security council meeting that requested these behaviors very lucrative and reveals to it today of the worst to ukrainian people. while blocking the discussion on which you a clear cut through occasionally, english closely gibberish style that is going to have is implications for international peace and security. the worst and delegation rushed to cuz i mean, the security council meeting on the educational gilson august on some time ago sometime ago. so you can see where the video play on. it is a now as important to know that the united states is saying that it will go before the un general assembly and call for russia to be kicked out of the human rights council. of course, russia is noted that there are

a number of accounts of hypocrisy regarding the u. s. and its actions here. however, moscow is still saying that it is calling for that un security council meeting. and it hopes that it will be an option at some point in the future. journalist and author daniela's are shared her, his perspective with me on the you case move and on the media coverage of the issue . they don't want a ball round, dispassionate analysis. what's going on in that city? they want to present it as one sided, lee as possible. and so therefore a hearing in which in which you get to get a chance to make news known. that's the last thing they want. the western media doesn't want to present anything that is, as it all of regarding the ukranian side and wants to put all the blame on russia. the western mainstream media has signed on quite enthusiastically to the

disinformation war that their governments are running. in fact, the rather than guardian recently ran an article worrying that russia was winning the disinformation war and that the british should, should try harder for the airport. busy busy to, to, to take away the victory from russia. so that's depressive. signing on presenting extremely one sided view of the whole conflict and, and they are really jumping on this issue like crazy. ukrainian media has tried and apparently failed to pin the blame on moscow for the gruesome killing of a woman in the city of mariel located in the done yet people's republic. the victims, brutally mutilated body with a swastika carved into her stomach was found by russian lead troops after they pushed the neo nazi as all battalion from a civilian building a week ago, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. picking up the story from

a ukrainian media outlet, president lensky advisor posted the news on social media has post showed an image of the victim and claim she was killed in gustavo, and the key of region. the advisor then updated the description to say that the atrocity possibly took place in murray opal before deleting his own post altogether . shortly afterwards, ukrainian media admitted that they got the details wrong and pulled their own reports. the scene of the killing and mario pa, last week has since been visited by international journalists, including r t reporters. again, the following footage may be disturbing to you. i had so snow had asked him, and this in fact is the cause of a woman by the look of it she was raped and a swastika was carved into her stomach. the body has been here for quite some time, for now they cannot get out and very hard because there are a lot of corpses throughout the city. this corpse was discovered relatively recently, assuming the little trust for the information we were taken out of here. that the

american journalist, patrick lancaster, who was the 1st to break that disturbing story from the city, shared his views on the program earlier. i think it's just the normal anti russian propaganda from the grain. it's really just the way it is blamed inside. blaming the other side, but we know it for a fact that this happened in the basin of to number 25, which was used. busy as a base for grading for so we're going through building to build and just seeing everything decimated, just talking to the local talking to some of the d p. r mobilization soldiers, one of them who. busy happened to show us this basement of this school school number 25. busy busy he took it down, we could see many amounts of cranium uniforms and patches and flags and the huge dash of weapons which in the purchase we've

heard. unfortunately we partially covered actually with uniform uniforms as well. her stomach wage had a swastika on this just being a shot from hard to tell was carved or painted or no blood was needed. you can see what it was. woman had been tortured and strangled. now this is not the 1st time we've seen allegations of fake news emerging amid the ukrainian conflict. multiple stories have circulated in the media over the last month, only to be later debunked. earlier i took a closer look at exactly those stories, shock and outrage among western audiences after images of a massacre in a small ukrainian town near keith,

called boucher many of grab their pitchforks and torches, blaming russia, but few have stopped to ask, how do i know what i'm being told is true since so far, the only source is keith's seed bud zuba. w world zillow already seen many wall crimes at different times on different constants stuff, but it's time to do everything possible to make the war crimes with russian military. the last manifestation of such evil on earth, all right at rome, kill 2. such crimes will be included in the special book of torture. as lose will be found and punished, which you know can we will bulge. it's really the job of journalists to examine, scrutinize and double check the reliability of their sources. instead, the mainstream media has been acting more like the ukranian governments, p r team. take a look at this segment from cbs. margaret brennan, of cbs admit that zalinski, his team handed her some photos videos and she's now going to broadcast them on tv with 0 independent corroboration, just openly purveying a foreign countries war propaganda. this is what's considered real journalism in

the u. s. there were even reports that foreign journalists weren't allowed into the town on the 3rd of april. on top of that key of has time and time again demonstrated, it's probably the last government whose word you want to take at face value when it comes to horror stories. remember snake island latimer zalinski claimed ukrainian troops valiantly fought to the last soldier defending it than us mobil. 13 ukrainian defends, were killed in russian bombardment on thursday. ola buddha gods died heroically. they did not surrender. they will be award to the title of hero of ukraine post humorously. aside from the fact that there weren't 13 but 82 ukrainian soldiers on the island, they didn't die fighting the russians either. they surrendered and were safely returned to their families through a prisoner exchange. oops, clearly that mistake wasn't embarrassing enough though, since zalinski was pretty quickly added again. several days later he claimed russians had bombed a memorial to the 10s of thousands of jews who were massacred in bob in yar during

the 2nd world war to the world. what is the point of saying never again for a to years. if the world stay silent when a bomb dropped on the same site of bob and jo, at least 5 killed history repeating, in addition to zalinski is naming and shaming those who didn't immediately point the finger at russia turns out that story was fake as well. one day later in israeli war, corresponded, visited the site and saw a completely different picture. the bobby, our memorial site, was neither destroyed nor damaged. after touring over the big site, i can report to certainty that no monument was damaged and no wall miss or shell hid the area. it's not clear whether zelinski was lying or if he really believed what he was told. the main thing is though, it ended up being yet another fake story put forward by key f. there's also the chernobyl nuclear power plant, which the lensky wrongly accused russia of bombing. needless to say, there was no lack of scary projections of another atomic disaster in europe either

. so normally we will holding jeanette lo, allan, as she closes us, did through molly out on the side who was facing. so nimble over what guys you me for me. when you fill in the ne suspenses hoping so after all these ukranian tall tales about a legit russian crimes one after another turning out to be fake. should we really just take his word for it when it comes to boucher another news new disturbing footage. apparently showing injured russian soldiers being executed by ukrainian soldiers has emerged on line. we can show you the video, of course, and full because of its violent content. but the footage shows multiple soldiers lying in the road in a pool of blood. one of them appears to be alive, but his shot and killed at least one dead soldier has his hands tied behind his back and appears to have been shot in the head. separately, we heard from russian soldiers who had been held as prisoners in ukraine. they told us what their ordeal was like in captivity. be the beautiful so they make me

constantly without even asking questions. who was just non stop screaming? my lack of food. people were being beaten, they didn't even scream, they howled. it just doesn't sound human. i've heard a man's ribs break, his alms break. as civilian was watching, brushing news on his phone. he was taken there a 71 year old man with diabetes. he was lying there, his hands bandaged. they were women, there also was new system. there was a new can they tied hands and feeds and were beaten them? i had a beard and their attitude to was chechens is bad. they were kicking us in the face on the had on the ribs threatened to hang and castrate us. they filmed us during the beatings usher wilkinson. though less, they'll extend key. they put us against the wall, and many ukrainian soldiers were deciding what to do with us. some one offered to shoot with the legs, some one just to kill. we were kept in the gym,

it was very cold, they constantly mocked the pilot's beat. them forced them not to sleep. they were saying the pilot could return to russia only as disabled people shall issue. this will you give veterans in a shopping going if we were lying in the gym blindfold and heard how they beat one soldier all night and in the morning they set, do you even know that you slept with the corpse, which i think he was bidden with sticks is a deal out. meanwhile, battles continue in the port city of mario pal, president zalinski, speaking with ukrainian media stress the urgent need for a solution. the russian defense ministry released a statement saying that ukrainian troops have a chance to lay down their arms and have a 3 hour window on tuesday in which they can safely taken evacuation pass. we spoke with mario pl luke locals, who claimed to have suffered at the hands of the neo nazi. as of battalion or correspondent, more i'd gasdio reports from the ground here in the east marie, you po, well is of com,

prevails. children with grimy faces. play bull with their puppy as explosion sound in the distance. but weeks they had been trapped in basements, his battles raged above them. we also met svetlana, a local pensioner who described what happened here is they duck in on the salmon floor that they broke into the apartment and kicked people out and there on the 6th floor. who was it? prescott? the crania now me as off or they on me, i'm not sure they broke into these block also and stayed on the 2nd floor that fit lana fears showing her face. her son and sister are in an area of mary you bal still held by ukrainian as off nationalists. she fears reprisal against them. svetlana knows well, what the nationalists, the capable off. oh god, not so much when and began. i tried to get through to see relatives 3 times and they would and laughed me. i begged them on my knees as off. i think it was gone

and suffered and lapis out. what did they say to you? and i'm sorry, but can i tell you exactly what they sat you think it was that go yourself get out of he before we should get to your face? yes. and the 2nd time they stopped me asked me who i was. i told them i was just a local one of theirs look, so they said get out of here. you're not one of us civilians. by all appearances, were human shields to them. they have always considered mario bull pro russian, and therefore sub human part of their neo nazi ideology. as of militants turn the apartment buildings with hundreds of civilians into machine gun and rocket nests, into bases in every single buildings that we visited in mario book. it's the same thing broken into apartments. i want to show you this particular flat where as all flies as made their home. the place is

a mess. it is already been visited by security services, who found all sorts of an extra x cameras, as well as drugs in the trash bin. but everywhere here are bottles of vodka, photos of vodka pills. and this is drugs that were again, found the, the fight is that with this located here, the lived here, the pod from leaving the place of mess will to left their uniforms behind which indicates that they to like many other as often you, cranium troops that they made their exit disguised as a civilians. whiskey. one could only wonder where they found so much. i'll go here by the ways one of the military pins fit lana east, still distraught by the violence and mistreatment may be over. but the memories

burn. he have no idea about what the ran through. you can't imagine. we had to break bullets and shouts just to get water for the children. last some i tick shower was on the 23rd of february. d. understand not you're watching an apartment then in here a new woman. next you cry that can mondays and that a 90 year old woman been to life. they found just his cult. had his crim in at the flames and defies. and we get into anything, i can still hear that scream. imagine bear in people in kindergarten because he can go any further and risk getting shot. the man who junk the graves have to jump in when shells landed near by one day think it's like looking at people how terrified their families. there were no words. there's nothing you can respond with outside graves, daughter form a playgrounds and kidney gardens. where a month ago children played and laughed. this may seem like an ordinary yard

surrounded by high rise apartment buildings. but in the middle is this graveyard. people for weeks had been trapped in their basements. eddie, who attempted to flee, was shot dead by as of snipers, ukrainian nationalists who forbid any sort of evacuation people cradled the bodies of their loved ones, the corpses of their loved ones for days before. finally, deciding caberry them here is a very small grave that of a child. the battle for mary, you bal, who's galvanized the russian public support for the special operation. now that the horrors and depravity of ukrainian nationalists have been laid bare galvanized and horrified in equal measure. more i'd gazda of 40 from mario po, therapist facing mounting blow back today due to its sanctions on russia. what the

cost of living soaring that, coupled with increased military spending has upset some europeans anti war protestors took to the streets of madrid to slam the spanish governments increased military spending amid the war in ukraine. is, comes after spain announced a defense budget increase, taking it close to around 2 percent of spain's gdp due to its commitments with the nato alliance. here's what people at the march had to say. and even then, we have to denounce the imperialist interference of nato and the european union zalinski, supporting nato as a reactionary alliance, and has used democracy as a way of advancing on the territory for years. we cannot allow our government to draw us into this, where they're increasing spending on the military when the budget should be put to help the needs of workers in this country. we do not want spending on arms. we do not want spending on war. we want the badge to be spent on the people for social causes, for hospitals, for education,

for pensions. we want them to stop the cuts. meanwhile, in germany, thousands of taxi drivers fear for their future. since fuel prices have surpassed 2 euros per liter since sanctions against russia were imposed, germany is facing some of these steepest price heights in europe. we asked taxi drivers and berlin about how rising fuel costs are affecting them. it's been, i guess is i am an employee as opposed to a businessman, but my petrol costs have now doubled. so i don't see how businesses will last. it certainly won't be easy to keep going. last, it's definitely more expensive. i'm sure it's 30 percent more or something. a full tank is more than $120.00 euros. now. it used to be 90 euros or so. cancer petrol prices are in the hands of politicians. we are all powerless, taxi drivers and other citizens are at their mercy. gomez's economists and author richard wolf believes that governments may use the conflict in ukraine as

a justification for rising prices. companies that were already raising prices are continuing to do so. and they now can blame the war. and other words, they can claim that the war between russia and ukraine is, is responsible for why the prices are being raised. even if it isn't true, it is a convenient way to justify price increases that might otherwise have been criticized in the west anyway. but now they are excused if you like, by virtue of the war. the problem with that is, the more you make the price increase temporary or sounding temporary, as in a war, the more ironically, the message you give, that it's temporary,

and that therefore when the war is over, all of the things that happened will be undone. what that does is provide an incentive for people not to respond to their situation to simply wait. and the result is a kind of freezing of the world economy. which in this situation means that the sanctions are not going to have necessarily the effect that those who impose them hoped for and may indeed prove to be very counter productive. you're watching our international stick around for more world news in just about 30 minutes. ah.

it will be long debated whether the war in ukraine could have been avoided. what is not really open debate, because how centers of power i've been shifting to the east, the rise of asia as it were. the war in ukraine has only accelerated rent with

ah, ah, i'm african or dancing. welcome to going other guy. we're back in coming to you for now from a new location to day. exactly 40 years in several 1000 argentine troops sees the falkland islands or malvina back from great britain before margaret thatcher's british army took it back. 74 days later. this is the annual e u china summit. it's scheduled for the 2nd day of to friday's p. storks, between ukraine and russia, all this while the u is band, this program,

this tv channel, still broadcast all around the world except in nature were lined countries. while joining me now from rome for this episode, as former adviser to the european union's high representative, a common foreign and security policy and conflicts forum found alice to crook. alistair, welcome back on going underground. let's begin with perhaps the need for you to remind us what you think is the start of this conflict and the reasons for the conflict given that certainly in the european union where a descent is arguably band. we are told almost hourly, that putin invaded ukraine without provocation. oh no, it's very clear what we're dealing with israeli something and it's much broader than just ukraine. and both residents pull in and she have both made said that this is a by reordering, if you like the security architecture of the,

the global security architecture away from a simple rules based order that is set by the united states in order to give these other states see to the board of life to be able to have a discussion. there is really no communication. before that there was a very good analogy made by someone, but it was like a chessboard. and united states it at one end of the chessboard. and someone said, well to, to play this game of chess and it was present sky back 10 percent sky said no to want. there's no other escape. we just simply turn the ball around and then we play from the other side. and that's been going on really the whole for a long time. and now russia and china want a seat at that chessboard and they don't accept any longer. the united states simply come speak.
