i a thing that's of the truth and what happened didn't, would you will reveal. so very soon the russian ambassador to the un says the country will seek to shed some light on the deaths of civilians in the ukrainian city of butcher, despite the u. k. rejecting russia's call for an emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss the incident. ukrainian media pulls its own fake news report which blamed russia for the killing of a woman whose body was found with a swastika carved in her stomach in a ukrainian nationalist stronghold. we speak to the american journalist who broke the story. this happened in the basin of the school number 25, which was used as a base for grading. fortunately, this woman had been grapes tortured and strangled to death,
3:01 am
and this is far from the only time in inaccurate reporting has emerged during the ukraine conflict. we look into other examples of misleading new store. ah, you're watching our to international. i'm your house, donald quarter. welcome to the program. a staged provocation by t f. that's the assessment, at least from the russian ambassador to the un. following the shocking footage that's come out of the ukranian town of boucher showing images of dead civilians lying in the streets with others piled and mass graves that as ukraine's defense ministry claimed the killings were perpetrated by russian troops brushes, and bastard to the un says russia would soon shed more light on events in the city . from the very beginning, it has been clear that this is nothing else,
3:02 am
but yet another stage pro occasion aim to discrediting and realizing the russian military and leveling political rational pressure on russia. i think the, the truth of what happened in would, you would, if you will. so it is now take a closer look at what's known so far about the butcher killing. so warning you may spot, you may find these images that are coming up a bit disturbing. images from the city of butcher have circulated throughout various media outlets, as journalists gained access to the area shortly after ukrainian forces entered boucher after the russian withdrawal. they apparently show the charred bodies of a family, including children. these images have not been independently verified, but key as accusing russian soldiers of being responsible. the city's mayor made no mention of any bodies in the streets in a video announcement following the russian army exit. larry his rosy due to france,
3:03 am
the honored community of boucher march. 31st will become history 1st city and the entire territorial community as the day of liberation from russian occupants by the armed forces of ukraine. i stayed that this day is a great day, a day of great victory referred to you. soon afterwards, the ukrainian national police released this video of soldiers combing through boucher after the takeover. some wrecked vehicles appear to be the only signs of fighting in the city, and no dead bodies can be seen in the streets. interviews conducted by ukrainian forces in different parts of butch also seems to have no mention of mass killings of civilians by russian troops. even in the absence of an investigation, the international community has been quick to lay the blame for the mass killings on russia with the u. s, saying it will push for russia suspension from the un human rights council. and while british and us officials have called for an investigation by the international criminal court, you k has blocked rushes call for an urgent un security council meeting on monday.
3:04 am
rushes you and envoy says the refusal to meet is unprecedented, and western countries are promoting and aunt anti russian narrative. i'm for incidentals, believable, unsinkable, that we were denied the security council meeting. that requested the reason why the worst and delegation the lease is very simple. it would not be benefit. worse, of course, the security council meeting is colleen by russia since this will shake them to russian land if they are comfortably promoting the 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 russian forces just
3:05 am
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 that 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. this behavior is very illustrative and reveals to it today of the worst truly ukrainian people. while looking the discussion on which you a clear cut, but of occasionally english classic gibber style. that is king to have serious
3:06 am
implications for international peace and security of the worst. and delegations rushed to cuz i mean a security council meeting, the educational gilson august on some time ago sometime ago. so you can see where the video priority is low. now, it is 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, 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, daniel lazar shared his perspective 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 and that they want to present it as one
3:07 am
sided, lee as possible and are therefore hearing, and which in which you get to get a chance to make use known with. that's the last thing they want for western media doesn't want to present anything that is, as it all regarding the ukranian side and wants to put all the blame on russia. the western mainstream media has signed on quite enthusiastically to the information war that their government are running. in fact, the london guardian recently ran an article worrying that russia was winning the information war. and that the british should, should try harder for the efforts. busy busy to, to us, to take away the victory from russia. so the oppressive signing on presenting extremely one sided view of this whole conflict and, and they are really jumping on this issue like crazy. ukrainian media has tried and
3:08 am
apparently failed to pin the blame on moscow for the gruesome killing of a woman in the city of mariel. located in the done yes people's republic. the victims brew tatt brutally mutilated body with a swastika carved into her stomach was found by russian lead troops after they pushed the neo nazi as all the battalion from a civilian building. a week ago, the scene of the killing and murray, opal has since been visited by international journalists, and among them are r. t reporters, a warning you may find the following images certain. i had the saw snow had asked him. and this in fact is the corpse 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 barriers because there are a lot of courses throughout the city. this corpse was discovered relatively recently, soon we will try for the information and we would take it out of here and picking up the story from ukrainian media outlet. president zelinski advisor posted the
3:09 am
news on social media as post showed an image of the victim and claim she was killed and gustavo, and the key of region. the advisor then updated the description to say that the killing possibly took place and mario pl. before deleting his post altogether, shortly afterwards, ukrainian media admitted that they got the details wrong and pulled their own reports. american journalist, patrick lancaster, who was the 1st to break the disturbing story from the city, shared his views on the program earlier. i think it's just the normal anti rushing 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 number 25, which was used. busy as a base for grading for we're going through building to build and just seeing everything guestimate and just talking to the local talking to some of the d p r. r
3:10 am
mobilization soldiers, one of them who happened to show us this basement of this school school number 25. busy he took it down, we couldn't see many miles of cranium uniforms and patches and flags and the huge stash of weapons which in the purchase we heard. unfortunately we. busy partially covered actually with uniform uniforms as well. her stomach wage had a swastika just being a shock, and i was hard to tell what it was, carved on, painted with blood, but you can see what had happened. there was a woman who had been rapes,
3:11 am
tortured and strangled. now this is not the 1st time we've seen allegations of fake news emerging amid the ukraine conflict. multiple stories have circulated in the media over the past month, only to be later debunked. earlier i took a closer look at 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 seen much of zuba w world is already seen many wool crimes at different times on different constant stuff, but it's time to do everything possible to make the war crimes with russian military loss manifestation of such evil on earth law at rome, kill 2 such crimes will be included in the special book of torturers will be found and punished with general legal bulge. it's really the job of journalists to examine, scrutinize and double check the reliability of their sources. instead,
3:12 am
the mainstream media has been acting more like the ukranian government's p r team. take a look at this segment from cbs shared with us on a video images that your government has gathered of what has been left behind outside of keith that i do on a share with our viewers. margaret brennan, of cbs admits that zalinski is 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 on us. more bold, 13 ukrainian defends, were killed in russian bombardment on thursday. all of the buddha gods died
3:13 am
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 so if we return to their families through a prisoner exchange. oops. clearly that mistake wasn't embarrassing enough though, since the lensky 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 bobbin yard 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 drops on the same site of bob, no, at least 5 killed history repeating, in addition to the landscape, naming and shaming those who didn't immediately point the finger at russia turns out that story was fake as well. one day later and israeli war corresponded, visited the site and saw a completely different picture. the bobbie or memorial site was neither destroyed
3:14 am
nor damaged. after touring over the big site, i can report to certainty that no monument was damaged and no ball miss or shell hit 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 tr noble 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 have a lien and then we'll move on in as you closes as did room on the side who was facing. so nimble overall guys, when you fully meet these, are you still in the ne suspenses the hope and so after all these ukrainian 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?
3:15 am
a new disturbing footage, apparently showing injured russian soldiers being executed by ukrainians has emerged online. we can show you the video in 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 then is 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 hear for we heard from russian soldiers who had been held us prisoners of war and ukraine, and they told us about their ordeal in captivity. didn't really posted it. they made me constantly without even asking questions. it 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 brake. a 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. the look was who,
3:16 am
who knew some of the result, who can they tied hands and feet 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 with notion of bust. 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 at 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 out of this will you give parents in a shop interviewing us? we were lying in the gym blindfolded and heard how they beat one soldier all night . and in the morning they said, do you even know that you sat next to a corpse? i think he was being the sticks. meanwhile, battles continue in the port city of mario full president, zalinski speaking with ukrainian media stress, the urgent need for
3:17 am
a solution. the russian defense ministry released a statement saying 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 path. we spoke with mario pal locals who claimed to have suffered at the hands of the neo nazi as of battalion or corresponded more gasdio reports from the ground. here in the east marie, you pull relative calm, prevails. children with grimy faces play bull with their puppy. 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 li crania now me as off on the on me,
3:18 am
i'm not sure they broke into these block also and state on the 2nd floor that fit lana fears, showing her face. her son and sister are in an area of maribelle, still held by ukrainian as off nationalists. she fears reprisal against them. svetlana knows well what the nationalists said capable of. oh, god knows how much when i began i tried to get through to see relatives 3 times and they wouldn't let me. i beg them on my knees as all of us and he was gone and suffered and lapis out. what did they say to you? and again, i'm sorry, but can i tell you exactly what they sat? you think it was that go yourself get out of here 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 dads, luke, so they sat and get out of here. you're not one of us civilians. by all appearances, were human shields to them. they have always considered mario bow pro russian,
3:19 am
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 building that we visited in mario bull. it's the same thing broken into apartments. i want to show you this particular flat swiss as all sizes made their home the places 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, our bottles of vodka bottles of vodka peals ellis with drugs that were again found here. the fight is that we're dislocated here. the lived here, the pod from leaving the place. a mess also left their uniforms behind which indicates that they too like many other as often ukrainian troops that they made
3:20 am
their exit disguised as civilians. whiskey. i could only wonder where they found so much. i'll go here by the ways one of the military pins fit. lana is still distraught by the violence and miss treatment may be over. but the memories bud, he have no idea about what we went through. you can't imagine. we had to break bullets and shouts just to get water for the children. last saw my tips, shower was on the 23rd of february, d. understand? imagine watching an apartment then in here, a new woman. next you cry that can monies in that a 90 year old woman bent like the found just has called had his grim and, and into flames and defies. and we couldn't to anything. i can still hear that scream nigel baron, people in the kindergarten because he can't go any further and reschedule shot on
3:21 am
the cookie. the man who dumped the grains have to jump in when shells landon can hear by one day think it's like looking at people that telephone from their families. again, there were no words. there's nothing you can respond with. outside graves, daughter form a playgrounds and kid. the gardens, where a month ago children played and laughed. this may seem like an ordinary yard surrounded by high rise apartment building, 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 national to forbid any sort of evacuation people cradled the bodies of their loved ones, the corpses of their loved ones for days before finally deciding to bury them. here is a very small grave that of a child the battle for mary opal,
3:22 am
his galvanized the russian public support for the special operation. now that the horrors and depravity of ukraine in nationalists have been laid bare galvanized and horrified in equal measure more i guess the of our t from variable ah, the russian investigative committee has opened a probe into an alleged assault on russian nationals in athens. comes as a child was allegedly injured, after protestors attacked a motorcade, organized to support russia and to fight russo phobia a warning to viewers. you may find these images disturbing. ah, i unknown assailant snatched a flag from a 7 year old girl who was at the rally with her parents and injured her hand. the
3:23 am
attackers also damaged some of the cars with attached greek and russian flags taking part in the motorcade. a line of cars drove in front of the greek parliament with a pro ukrainian rally, reportedly taking place in the area. at the same time, we spoke to the girls mother who said she could not believe such a thing could happen in athens. oh goodness, governor good beer. go to riley was organized against naziism for peace. permission was granted by the athenian authorities. the police held back those who were against the car run so that they would not break through into the road. off to the run, we stopped in an alley. they were probably 50 people standing on both sides of the alley, mostly men. they began to walk towards the car to take away our flags. i started yelling not to touch the child and to attract the attention of the police. the mentor, a russian flag out of my daughter's hand, smashed a window with the same flag and hit her on the hand with a pole. on the other side,
3:24 am
a greek flag was pulled out from us in a 2nd window was broken. my daughter was bleeding off to the run. we went to the hospital and the police station where we did not shout any slogans. the meeting was peaceful. how is it possible in a european country that children are attacked and flags is snatched her? we could never imagine that this would happen in greece. oh, therapist facing mounting blow back due to its sanctions on russia, with the cost of living soaring. that coupled with increased military spending has stirred up some europeans anti war protestors took to the streets of madrid to slammed the spanish governments. increased military spending amid the warden crane was comes after spain announced the defense budget increase, taking it close to around 2 per cent of space was of spain's d. d. p. due to its commitments with the nato military alliance. here's what some at the march had to say. then it was good and we have to denounce the imperialist
3:25 am
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 do not want spending on arms. we do not want spending on war. we want the bed to be spent on the people for social causes, for hospitals, for education, for pensions. we want them to stop the yes, we cannot allow our government to draw us into this where they are increasing spending on the military when the budget should be put to health and needs of workers in this country. and while in germany, thousands of taxi drivers fear for their future since fuel prices have surpassed 2 euros per leaders and sanctions against russia or imposed germany is facing some of the steepest price hikes in europe. and we asked some taxi drivers and berlin about how rising fuel costs are affecting them. it can i get it. i am an employee as opposed to a businessman, but my payroll costs have now doubled. so i don't see how businesses will last. it
3:26 am
certainly won't be easy to keep going across, so 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 economist and author, richard wolfe 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
3:27 am
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
