indians like who are the good guys and who are the bad guys who is winning or losing context is largely absent. and that's on purpose. with the harling testimony of locals from the devastated city of mario full ledges, nationalists forces on the neo nazi a self battalion pumping directly targeting civilians, passed and shell, took the local population. there was a while at the bakery where people went for water. they shocked a bunch of people. bodies were lying around right around the well with rushes. foreign minister calls that purported mass killings in the ukrainian city of boucher from vacation, aimed at the reeling moscow piece. talked with china, warns of a potential ukraine like crisis if the u. s. sound,

it's british alice trillion allies proceed with their newly and 9 loans to build nuclear capable. hypersonic weapons will explain all that means later. and also with wouldn't be a problem for us to pay in variables. if the russians want to be paid in roubles, we will pay them in groups. you member hungry, defies brussels when it comes to energy balance on the block prepares this law. it's latest. rhonda sanctions on moscow. ah live for moscow, this is our t. my name's unit o'neill. 30 minutes of news and views start not a large group of civilians, including more than a 100 children have been evacuated from the done. yet city of morrow tuple made

continued fierce fighting. there is often other nationalist battalions have been accused of inhumane treatment towards locals. the russian defense ministry has released interviews with residents of the devastated city. one of them claims they were shot by age or forces while walking around the children's play area. while other state, the neo nazi group has been directly targeting them and using people as human sheets. yes ma'am. the see the massive shot at the local population. there was a well at the bakery where people went for water. they shot a bunch of people. bodies were lying around right around the wells. a young girl rode to school, was shot in the back, fell down dead. the military took away the cause and deliberately shot all the cars shorted on house. the house was smashed to pieces, completely burned down. with one says their houses were bummed, they went for water, they was shot as if you wish. and then you

put them to me and really they were in the 100 house, settled back snipers or whatever what these are. they been that house and then they reached our house. they shot from there then there and then and the children, god. and they sat down, they usually walk around the young, literally, she's behind defense. we are hiding. and how do they feel about the fact that people live here and they shoot from there waiting for on this to show how good we are and how fast they are. when we went to the bridge, they fired at us until we had to. it was probably a self with put on back because the screening army has not been there for a long time. i also want to bring you this russian military doctors have saved the life of a man being healed as a local hero in the ukrainian city. is you after he she did several children and been out on a walk. when there were reportedly shelled by national forces. i

helped children hide from raids and bombings. i accompanied them to the shelter. 234 girls still remained and it had just begun by covered the girls. but this is how it turned out for myself. there were bright flushes, the nationals fired. my son was given a bad market school because he speaks russian. every one is intimidated. every one, once russia, when russian tanks were coming, everyone waved and greeted them. now the reported killings in the ukrainian city of butcher and the international reaction to them are an attempt to de real moscow's peace talks. with keith, that's according to russia's foreign minister. the disturbing footage of what said to be civilians lying dead in the city streets was released by ukraine over the weekend and quickly circulated in the media. he had saves rushes to play. moscow strongly denies the allegation, but we need new propaganda schema as up of the western and ukrainian propaganda has

exclusively been inflating hysteria around the video, which as we understand was filmed by the ukranian military in the city of boucher in the key of reach of the frank orchestration and to see, to learn about alleged war crimes from the russian military has been proven. many times. this beckons the question, what is the reason for this outright provocation? we tend to think that the reason lies in the desire to find an excuse to disrupt the ongoing negotiations about mother. he's going to start a love rough while the purported atrocities in butcher were discussed in death during a un security council session on tuesday, with ukrainian president log mirrors, the lengthy accusing russian soldiers of war crimes, and calling on the un to bring moscow to justice. echoing the normative, coming from american british officials, not the butcher footage was published by ukrainian officials as well of media outlets. the pictures were released after the russian army withdrew ukrainian

forces enter the area. our senior correspondent brought garcia picks up the story. what happened and butcher seems to entirely depend on what different sides want to have happened and butcher. what actually happened seems to be of little concern. ukraine than that salads accuse russia, russia, and its allies, ukraine. every day. the news about horror stories becomes more and more delusional . however, the key f thank machine won't stop in order to humanize russia and denigrate it as much as possible. the mad animals from the nationalist battalions and territorial defense forces are ready to kill their own civilians. at the end of march, russian forces quickly pulled out of the area. on the 31st, the mayor of butcher, in a video announced that the town had been re captured by ukrainian troops. he did mention any corpses, which, according to keith's version,

already lifted the streets. those dear friends, dear buchan community march 31st, we'll go down in the history our town. as the day of its liberation from russian forces ukrainian troops sent to the town soon after grizzly images flooded. social media, alleged and disputed satellites, images which west and media claim to have been shot more than a week before. suddenly showed bodies everywhere. some near impact craters, butcher had been on the ceaseless ukrainian military shilling even after russian forces had left. the united states to liberally glossed over the fight after the withdrawal of russian troops, the arm force of ukraine shell to preach a city. many of the corpses, little round butcher, also will white arm bands, controversial end and of itself. ukraine claims that russian forces shot dead civilians who co operated with russia, who apparently showed support. some of the victims had their hands tied again with

white cloth, ukrainian. nationalists themselves had commented on the hated ombang and saying that they justified shooting at any one wearing them. these arm bands are used by the invaders themselves as an identification sign during fighting. therefore, ukrainian defenders may confuse civilians with russian invaders factor in that russian military rations were also scattered around many of the bodies indicating that they had been given them by russian troops. just before and this is what key of claims they shot them dead mentioning is ukraine's collaboration law enacted recently. and the ukranian civilian who is deemed to have call pirated with russian troops and presumably worn a white arm band faces 15 years in jail. that is, if they survive arrest by ukrainian troops under these nonsensical circumstances.

what hoop does the un school for a fair investigation have? it is vital that all efforts made to ensure that our independent and effect of mr. cations into what happened in future to in. so truth justice and accountability as well as reparations and remedy for victims and their families. their words in unfair times, given the war and the unprecedented level of propaganda and disinformation in the media. many have already made up their minds, and the pictures from butcher testified to the incredible brutality of the russian leadership in dos who follow its propaganda, facts, truths, evidence and culpability. a things of a now dead. the era in this new age and motion and the interest to establish guilt and atrocities, sadly have become sickening spectacles where the judges, he or she who shouts, loudest, forensic experts,

and word to men of studied the images from butcher. he believes it's impossible. throw any specific conclusions and even more so to blame russia when the pictures themselves res, so many unanswered questions. kim, kim cook, i. there is only one conclusion to be drawn from the pictures that were presented to me. the dates of death of the deceased are different. the discrepancy between the place where the bodies were discovered in the nature of the burned corpses is confusing to me. the varying degrees of decomposition and under known weather conditions suggests that these people died not on the same day. otherwise, the degree of post mortem changes in all bodies would not be so different from russia has accused ukraine of disrupting another exchange of military prisoners, which were supposed to take place on wednesday. it's not the 1st time such a deal has fallen through on this fault. according to moscow rushes defense, michelle's essays, the treatment of captured russian soldiers in ukraine should unless be investing it

receives can. certainly not the russian side has every reason to believe that there is something wrong with the treatment of russian armed forces, members who are being held in ukrainian captivity. in addition, it has been reliably established that russian service men are being subjected to in humane torture. and all of this evidence has been widely distributed on the internet and other media. unfortunately, such outrageous facts are being ignored by the international community. the western countries are not only aware of the gross violations of international humanitarian law against the russian prisoners of war. but are also trying to help the ukrainian authorities avoid responsibility. this is substantiated by the fact that the key of regime notified the british for an office on april 1st that it did not intend to comply with the geneva convention when treating russian prisoners of war. in addition, ukrainian authorities urging western countries to encourage the red cross to

abandon attempts to gain access to russian prisoners of war. such manipulations regarding russian service men convincingly demonstrate that the authorities of many western states are becoming complicit in the humane crimes of ukrainian. neo nazi sonia china has condemned a joint effort by the us. britain under street leant to develop nuclear capable hypersonic weapons. such missiles are harder to defend against because of their speed and low altitude flight beyond the scope of ground based radar. so beijing was responding to a joint statement by the members of the su, labeled office military packed. we committed to commence new trilateral cooperation on hypersonic encounter hypersonic and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as to expand information sharing and to deepen co operation on defense innovation. anyone who does not want to see the ukrainian crisis should refrain from doing things which may lead the other parts of the world into a crisis like this. as the chinese saying goes, if you do not like it,

do not impose it against others. the 3 orchestra members also said they are pleased with the progress on building nuclear powered submarines for australia. it's the 1st time the u. s. has shared such advanced technology with another country apart from the u. k. the trilateral pact also aims to expand other defense on security capabilities, but china has previously described dorcas as, quote, an extremely irresponsible, a narrow minded group, which it considers a potential threat. or professor benjamin char from the power school of technology . and business believes focus is looking to expand in the pacific. in the same way, nature has expanded across europe. is justin and of the anglo saxon alliance that could endanger the world. the authors could be views as an asian version of natal. we have all seen the situation in ukraine. the expansion of nato is not a good news to many countries, arguably, not even good to the you. the,

you did not want to war in europe, but the nato is led by the us to you. you does not have to say on that. it's, you know, especially the recent weakening of china, australia relationship is just for the china to plan that had to cooperate with countries like solomon islands, at the doorstep of austria. it, you know, people have to make preemptive moves sometimes. and, you know, the u. s. could be, could succeed in developing these weapons in a few years. the broader picture is that the office and able australia for supersonic rapids and nuclear submarines and but the texas tech k or 2 for a weapon to fully developed. however, you might be screwing up the party, so to speak, aisha options and also they have been going pretty fast. we've good relationship and we'll be the center of growth this duckett and. and why do we certainly have,

have to have a office? why do we need to initiate defense raise now? some neato countries would prefer ukraine to keep fighting until last month's thundering rather than pen any peace agreements in the washington post is reporting that not all nato countries buck peace talks between nato kid nato's chief and still simberg has worn the conflict could last code many months even years. and while the us defense secretary has claimed that washington months and yet more weaponry to ukraine, nimbly, a variant of the switchable drone equipped with anti armor warheads. other western states roll suspending more weapons to kiev while german officials have reportedly claimed they have run notes of arms to send on. this comes amid continued russia. ukraine peace talks. well, let's get the thoughts nor all former us marine and geo political. unless brian

berlin, eric, who joined us from bangkok to talk to you today, how do you rate opposition? bob? it's better for ukrainians, and i don't know any other way to pump this, but it's better for you cranes to fight and die rather than strike a peace agreement. i think it's very clear that all along the united states who really put ukraine up to this over the last 8 years, they put them on a, a deliberate collision course with russia. and i think that they fully intend to have ukraine fight until until the last ukranian, until everything has been spent. every drop of blood that can be spilled is spelled and i think they make that abundantly clear their support by shipping weapons and money and facilitating the war effort in every possible way. i think they make it very clear about how they want those conflicts to, to continue and avoid that conclusion and avoid piece at all costs for as long as

possible. this is the question, isn't it? why? what is the reason for such of you? are they trying to help you? koreans are actually more like the trying to harm russia. what's your view? i think they're trying to harm ukrainians and russia. the whole nature of the united states relationship with ukraine since the us itself over through the elected ukrainian government in 2014 has been one of of self interest in washington . washington has openly pursued a policy of encircling and containing russia, creating security threats all along russia. periphery and ukraine was kind of be the centerpiece of this policy in recent years. they most certainly do not want the t p. they want, they want russia to pay a price for standing up against us encroachment and nato encroachments. i've seen politicians clapping when new runs of aid, including lethal weapons,

are signed and delivered to be sent to ukraine. but i would put it to them. why are you doing? what does lethal weapon re add to the conflict? only lead to a longer drawn at war and more casualties. well, a lot of these politicians and a lot of these policy experts in washington, their, their bills are paid by defense contractors. so, i mean, in part there clapping because they understand the windfall profits that, that's making. and it also helps advance the ongoing decades long policy of us had gemini, around the globe. and they're willing part of that. and this is what we've seen them do in every conflict. the u. s. s. started up around the globe and now we see them doing exactly this in regards to crate and right. you can maybe give us

a sense, you're in thailand when the western sanctions, and that's merely what it is. it's europe, it's america puts out on russia. is there a blowback effect in, in asia? are you seeing if there was the kind of reaction i think people in the, in the governments here in se, asia and here in portland, and people who are very familiar with what's actually going on and are not tuned into the western media. i think that they see what in danger the west is and the united states in particular, the notion of a rules based international order starts to break down when you, when you see the u. s. abusing all of the power, it has all of the control that has over the so called international mechanisms. i think it's making a lot of people think twice about having invested so much of, of their own national stability and regional stability in this so called international order. i think a lot of people are looking for exits or at least alternatives to hedge against the

threat and the u. s. has exposed to, as i will point out, some of your articles are very interesting. people can find as much and if the google brian burn, let's take they'll find that. brian, thanks very much for coming on the program, former us marine and geo political analysts. thank you. ok, now as a new leader is finalize another round of sanctions against russia. some countries are warning about the potential for blow back on greece, newly reelected prime minister to the press conference to an economic crisis is unfolding in the block. yes, sir. yeah. awesome. i think the most important contributing factor of the european economic crisis is the sets of sanctions that we've imposed on russia. we are going to have to pay the price for that as well. and we have to prepare to actually pay the price of this. and to manage the european economic prices. well, i think from the sanctions hasn't been given the green light, but more details of what could be in it have been emerging,

including the names of individuals who are expected to be in that new round of sanctions. they include the head. ringback of russia's biggest bank, the am alan minium oligarch. this is all a get a pasco, the director general of russia's 3rd largest, all producer, as well as president putin's 2 daughters from his 1st marriage. now if they are on that list, they will be subjected to potential phrases of their assets and travel bands. now, other measures include russian and bell russian ships being banned from docking in any port in europe. there will be some exceptions to that, and that will include ships, it carry humanitarian aid, energy, all food. there's also expected to be the halting of transactions, all transactions full, full key russian banks, as well as a ban on russian coal and even possibly it's being discussed. russian oil. now

baltic member states like lithuania, well the you to have an all out ban on all types of russian energy. the e is a whole impulse around 40 percent of its natural gas from russia. some countries have moved dependency than others. and particularly germany, which has a dependency rate of around 55 percent. but it seems that berlin, vienna, and budapest of being particularly vocal in protesting against the idea of an old rock band, a particularly on natural gas. hungary also breaking the leadership, saying that it's prepared to pay for russian gas in rubles, it wouldn't be a problem for us to paint rubles, if the russians want to be paid in roubles, we will pay them in roubles. victor open also saying hungry isn't normally in agreement with sanctions, but had allowed them so far in the interests of the you working together. we've also just heard from germany at the country,

faces in new poverty due to rising energy prices. and that gives you a sense as to why some european member states are not keen to instigate this all out ban on russian natural gas. however, lithuania is unhappy with the current package of what's being suggested, saying that it is just not adequate enough. call for banks, a ban on ports and borders with exceptions is not really inadequate. sanctions package to the massacres that are being uncovered. the feeble response is just an invitation for more atrocities. these new sanctions by the you are also being drawn up in coordination with the white house. it too has been putting pressure on the you to announce that panel russian energy imports washington. meanwhile. ringback is also looking for an outright ban on all investment in russia. the biggest part of our objective here is to deplete the resources that putin has to continue his war against ukraine. this will include

a ban on all new investment in rushing increase sanctions on financial institutions and state owned enterprises in russian sanctions on russian government officials and their family members. meanwhile, president zalinski, ukraine continues to put pressure on western countries. he's been speaking on wednesday at the irish palm and demanding that there are even more rigid sanctions . he said that he just couldn't tolerate any more indecisiveness. after everything the russian troops had done, it does seem though, while this 5th round of sanctions will be given the green light, it will still be in disappointment to zalinski, who wants all ties from the west cut with russia. well, some reaction to developments nelson wong from the showing eye center for international studies believes the sanctions against russia are on for the european countries that rely so much on their energy needs from las go. sanctions don't really work for. it's actually an expression of hostility and,

and also it's a declaration of economic wall which is bound to receive resistance and counter attack. so in that case, in that sense, for example, the sanctions against russia because of this ongoing conflict in cray. what are the results? let's look at what europe is facing. now. old energy prices are going up. food prices are going up as well, because russia is one of the biggest export to this off energy of agricultural commodities and the food. so this is counter productive, actually. it doesn't help to solve the situation. it is absolutely unfair for many countries in europe actually to, to suffer from what, so what's going all?

because people are unprepared because so many countries are being, europe are relying on russia for energy supply. and then with this sanctions going all what our european is going to, to fair in the coming winter care. let's talk some big figures. sanctions have restricted russia's ability to pay off its international deaths in foreign currencies. no batsmen, for the 1st time, moscow was settled almost $650000000.00 worth of bureau bonds in roubles. russia attempted to make its bond payments on march 16th in dollars, but because of sanctions, predators were unable to receive them. give moscow 30 days to come up with an alternative way to pay off the debt, so the country would default, and the attempt to pay in roubles cremeans spokesperson dmitri pest. gulf said, if there is a default, it would only be technical and created artificially original.

russia has all the necessary resources to settle its debts. you know that a significant amount of our currency reserves have been suspended in foreign countries. if payment in roubles is not possible, then theoretically that would mean a default, but it would be an artificially created default. there are no preconditions for a proper default to happen. yeah, just to point out if there are 2 types of default financial and technical or financial default occurs when the borrower has not made a scheduled payment. and a technical default is when an agreement is violated or can be reached while with more sanctions being slapped on the russian economy. europe faces new repercussions . this time concerning the metals industry. despite global producers, giving reassurance is that they can fill out if more russian resources are banned. as ortiz, donal quarter explains. it's not quite that straightforward. the latest victim of

the west's anti russian sanctions, the metal industry nichol prices are going through the roof over fears that russia will cut off its supply and retaliation or face more sanctions. nevertheless, some in the west seemed confident enough that they can make up for the difference. western australia is the world's 5th biggest producer of nickel and as well place to meet the strong global demand for nickel. unfortunately, for those people, the facts don't share their optimism without russian nickel. the west may have a very hard time lowering its carbon footprint since the metal is essential to the production of batteries and electric vehicles. and sticking with gas powered cars only means that they'll be more dependent on russian gas in oil. it's no wonder experts think australia will fall far short of replacing russia in the metal markets. i do not think that there is any mind that could match the pure nickel production of russia, but latter, i'd oars are abundant, both in the philippines and indonesia that can support the fair nickel production, which is a pure nickel substitute used for stainless steel. nickel concentrates and other

nickel products that can be used for battery production, along with nickel titanium is also under threat. the aerospace marine and auto industries just can't do without it. and it's russia that supplies air bus with half of its total consumption. and boeing with a 3rd, even if the west doesn't, outright ban titanium imports from russia. just blocking certain russian banks from the swift global bank payment system still disrupt supplies that something likely to hurt the west a lot more than russia. since the latter has already turned to different markets. most western buyers of russian titanium can see the writing on the wall. we are looking into it very closely to see we can insure it doesn't impact our supply chain and our ram pub. so western companies are trying to find workarounds to their dependence on russian metals, no doubt a monumental task that may leave them without enough metal for what some worn could even be the nails on their economies coffins. don quarter taken us through that.

now a documentary 8 years in the making, but we still don't know the ending my don road to war starts and moments to sticklers. ah, ah, ah ah, ah, do.
