fighting, instead of brokering an end to the conflict that's according to a new report from the washington post and china and sub a potential ukraine like crisis. if the u. s. and a british allister lean allies proceed with their newly announced plans to build nuclear capable hypersonic with from moscow to the world. this is our take great of your company today. my name is unit oneal. a large group of civilians, including more than a 100 children, have been evacuated from the done yet city of modern ball that's made continued fierce fighting their age off on other ukrainian nationalists. military battalions has been accused of inhuman treatment towards locals. the russian defense ministry

has made public interviews with the residents of the devastated city. one of them claims they were shot by is all forces. while walking around a children's play area. they say the neo nazi group has been directly targeting them and using people, as you mentioned, yes ma'am. the shot in 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 and fell down dead. the military took away the cause and deliberately shot all the car shot at our house. the house was smashed to pieces, completely burned down. with one says their houses were bombed, they went for water, they were shot as if i am going to race and then you put them to me and really they were in the 100 house,

settle 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 gone and they sat down. they usually walk around the yard and literally shoot behind defense like 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 it was probably a self with put on then because the ukrainian army has not been there for a long time. something else to tell you today, russian military doctor is have saved the life of a man who's been hailed a local hero in the ukrainian city of is you. that's after he shielded several children. can be not on a walk when they were reportedly shell by national forces. i'm

a girl. i help children hide from raids and bombings. i accompanied them to the shelter. 234 girls still remained and it has just begun. i shielded the girls with my body, but this is how we turned out for myself. there were a bright flashes, the nationalist fired. well, 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, every one wait and greeted them. moscow has evidence of imminent false flag atrocities inside ukraine, which will then be blamed on russia. that is, according to the latest statement from the defense ministry. and that comes just days. after the gruesome incident in ukrainian town of butcher, where a civilian bodies were allegedly fund on the straits, that's footage was published by ukrainian officials as well as media outlets. the pictures were released after the russian army with drew and ukrainian forces

entered the area. our senior correspondent rod gassy. if can tell us more 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 did that salads accuse russia, russia and its allies, ukraine every day. the news about horror stories becomes more and more delusional. however, the key of fake machine won't stop in order to humanize russia and denigrated 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 where he drew his dear friends. dear buchan community,

please, march 30. first, 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 than media claim to have been shot more than a week before. suddenly showed bodies everywhere. some near impact craters boucher had been on the ceaseless ukrainian military shelling even after russian forces had left. the united states to liberally glossed over the fight after the withdrawal of russian troops, the armed force of ukraine shell to preach a city. many of the corpses, little round butcher, also wore white on bands controversial in the 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 arm band 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, fax, it in that bus and 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 worth mentioning is ukraine's collaboration law enacted recently and ukrainian civilian who is deemed to have cooperated 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 hope does the un school for a fair investigation have? it is vital that all efforts are made to ensure that are independent and effective investigations into what happened in future to and so truth justice and accountability as well as reparations and remedy for victims on their families. fair words in unfair times, given the war and the unprecedented level of propaganda and bis information and the media. many have already made up their minds. the pictures from butcher testified to the incredible brutality of the russian leadership in dulls who follow its propaganda. facts, truths, evidence and culpability. a things are now dead. the era in this new age and motion and interests to establish guilt and atrocities, sadly have become sickening spectacles where the judges, he or she who shouts, loudest. russia has convened and meeting of the un security council to

discuss information which a claims proves that u. s. funded bio labs are operating in ukraine killer moping and take us through that. that means the meeting was held at the un headquarters in new. ready york in the eco sock chamber, and at the meeting, we heard from the russian ministry of defense describing a lot of information. they have about these bio labs in ukraine, how they operate, and how they have impacted the local population of the country. this is some of what we heard from the russian ministry of defenses. according to the ministry of foreign affairs of china, the pentagon controls 336 labs in 30 stage outside of the national modernize to 1005. been so they are located throughout

the territories bordering russia. and now there were some allies of the united states that did what they usually do and respond to any talk of these bio labs and simply dismissed the entire thing as a vast russian fabrication. here are some allies of the united states. yet again, we are witnessing the russian federations misuse of the united nation. and it's privileged position within it. as platform for this information. we regret that russia is once again using the united nations as a platform for this information. now the united states and the united kingdom made a point of not attending the media. and we heard russian officials express somewhat disappointments about the fact that seems like there is a big effort to selectively look over the information that russia's presented just desperately tried to argue that these labs, that somehow they don't exist,

or somehow these labs don't pose any threat to public health, when the information presented by the russian ministry of divest speaks for itself . but there are many countries around the world that share rushes concerned. and these bio labs don't only exist in ukraine. there are many other country then potential health risks risks associated with them. the fact that military kind of activities could be associated with these labs is something that many people around the world are concerned about. while us officials seem to argue it's not important and accuse anyone who brings it up of being a crazy conspiracy theorist. some nato countries would prefer ukraine to keep fighting until the very last month, something rather than sign any peace agreement soon. that's according to a report in the washington post. it's claiming not all countries in the alliance by piece talks between moscow and if it will. nato's chief in spartanburg, as outlined plans for the further army of ukraine, including heavy weaponry. i also expect up ministers when they meet today and

tomorrow we'll discuss how we can further support ukraine allies are providing both anti tank and to air or air defense systems, but also different kinds of advanced weapon systems and also both light and the heavier weapon systems to ukraine, our congress person saying what have you done? and he basically go look at him, is it what do you think we've done? why do you think you're able to fight wave, train them, and we've given them a weapons. that's what's happened. it is de facto a western policy and no one should be ashamed of it. this is a war of rushes choosing, and as long as ukrainians are willing to make them pay for their decision, we should help them. i hope they will be hard to steal. i support maximum military support to maximum sanctions. russia must lose, and criminals should standing court. the united states who really put ukraine up to

this over the last 8 years. they put them on a deliberate collision course with ra shops. and i think that they fully intend to have ukraine fight until until the last ukrainian until everything has been spent, every drop of blood that can be spilled is spelled and i think they, they make that abundantly clear their support by shipping weapons and money. and facilitating the war effort in every possible way. i think they're trying to harm ukrainians and russia. the whole nature of the united states relationship with ukraine fence you at the top over through the elected ukrainian government in 2014 has been one of self interest in washington. 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 encroachment. washington is reportedly set to send yet more weaponry to ukraine, namely

a variant of the switchboard, drones equipped with anti armor warheads, u. s. state secretary anthony blink, and also say there will be 10 am t time systems in ukraine for every one russian tank. and as other western states all to provide kids with weapons, german officials have reportedly claimed they've run out of arms to said all that comes and made continued russia. ukraine paste talks commentator on international security. a 1st show he browser believes the supply of drones to ukraine is just going to lead to more civilian casualties. rooms are actually kamikaze suicide gone. so there are classified as an offensive weapon because they have a very signature and armor su personnel role. so what these drones will do is they will increase attrition against the russian forces in your crane, which will in turn escalate the conflict in your pain. because then russia will also commit itself to escalate the pos they want the ukrainians to continue

fighting to weaken russia. because russia as much is a bigger threat to, to nato as they perceive it as opposed to the ukrainian bio weapons to your brain. it's not going to help bring down the conflict. what it is going to do is the infusion of advanced weaponry like these kamikaze. busy drones americans are providing the past missiles provided by the british or french entities, missiles provided by the british and the americans. they are going to only increase a christian against russian forces. it will lead to controlled escalation where there will be a lot of casualties. and there will be, there will be no pre per se or our graceful exit for your korean artifice. conflict . so remember, this is your premium lives at risk. that is ukranian territory at risk of this american, not british treat miss. so it is for your premium leadership to decide what they want to do, what their own future. ok, so another over headline stories today,

china has condemned a joint effort by the us, britain and australia to develop nuclear capable. hypersonic weapons such and missiles are harder to defend against because of their speed, a low altitude flight beyond the scope of ground based radars. no bathing was responding to a joint statement by the members of the so 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 cooperation 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. meanwhile, cambro saying it's please with a progress made on the building of nuclear powered submarines for australia made

possible by the other 2 august members. it's the 1st time the u. s. i shared such advanced technology with another country apart from the u. k. the trilateral pact also aims to expand other defense and security capabilities, but china has previously described dorcas as quote and extremely irresponsible and noro minded group, which if considers a potential threat of asian of fors, expert benjamin chow believes hawkis is looking to expand in the pacific in the same way nato spread across through is jason and other anglo saxon alliance that could endanger the world. the office 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 a war in europe, but the nato is led by did u. s. do you you? that does not have a say on that. this, you know,

a social yeah. the recent weakening of china, australia relationship is just force in china to plan and had to cooperate with countries like solomon islands at the doorstep or was trading it. you know, people have to make preemptive moves some times. and you know, the u. s. quick feet could succeed in developing this weapons in a few years. the broader picture is that the office and able a trillion for supersonic weapons and nuclear submarines. and, but he takes a tech, a or 2 of for, for the weapons who fully developed. however, he might be screwing up the party, so to speak. aisha, the actions and all sure to have been going pretty fast. we've good relationship and will be the center of growth this stuckey, and then why do we certainly have hath to have a and all his i, why do we need to initiate defense raise? now? the european union has reportedly fail to agree in its latest no 5th batch of

sanctions against moscow. it comes as some e u members have been actively warning about the potential blow back, including hungry, newly reelected prime minister victor, or by 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. we knew the over the last few weeks as certain countries have been saying that they're not keen on certain ideas. others saying that they pushing even more for it. what we understand though, this is coming out from the reuters news agency is that the talks of failed on wednesday to meet agreement due to a technicality. but this essentially does pull coldwater on the idea of the you trying to pan all imports of comb add to the blog and do to those technical issues

. and we understand that the talks will have to restart again on thursday to try and find an agreement between all of those countries. meanwhile, some you states have said that they are breaking with the official line from the e u r, which is that they will pay for russian gas in the future in roubles group number, because it wouldn't be a problem for us to pain rubles if the russians want to be paid in roubles, we will pay them in ripples. now the 5th run, the sanctions is been shoot over. we are expecting some names to be added to the list. individuals could see the assets being froze, know also face a travel bands. we understand that this will include the head of russia's b, s, bank. at the ella minium oligarch, this is, am only get a passcode, as well as the 2 daughters of president putin, from his 1st marriage. other measures that have been muted yet to be officially agreed on, include the potential blocking of russian and banner russian ships from ports in

europe, with some exceptions for those carrying humanitarian aid, for example. and, and they will also be, we understand the halting of transaction with full key russian banks. and this though, isn't enough to satisfy all you member states and lithuania says that the current package that's being discussed is just not adequate 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 e, your sanctions, are also being drawn up in coordination with the white house. washington has meanwhile announced that they would be a total ban on americans investing in russia. a similar man has also just been announced by the u. k. the latest targets on both the lists will those countries

include russian banks including spear bank, which says it's not too concerned. the sanctions will not have a significant impact on the banks operations and will not affect service to russians as the system has already adapted to the previous restrictions. meanwhile, president zalinski ukraine is trying to continue to put pressure on the western nations. he's been addressing the irish palm until wednesday, demanding even more rigid sanctions saying that he just couldn't tolerate the indecisiveness of the everything that russian troops had done. it does seem though, that even this new round of sanctions by the, the 5th round, if it's greenlight on thursday, it will be a disappointment to zalinski, who has been cooling on the west, to cut all ties with russia. a former austrian foreign minister current can,

i sole told me, she's not surprised the proposed coal in port bon is proving a stumbling block. and she says the resources absolutely vital to the german economy. we know that coal has gained importance for germany with the energy transition, actually, germany with all its commitments to climate change nevertheless, or the last 10 years ever since america had announced energy transition had been relying more and more on cold fire electricity, the power stations then on nuclear and germany is actually in dire need of coal because it needs some back up whenever the wind doesn't blow, the sun doesn't shine. it needs coal fired power stations. otherwise it's, there is a risk of power cut over germany it's, it's weitel, it's not just the metal political, joyce, or, or a matter of joining the,

the drum beats. that is there. but it's really something off of white necessity. and there are growing voices of discontent. in europe over the feeling that leaders are prioritizing weapons deliveries over dealing with the growing sanctions blow back, including ever rising energy bills. tensions ran high on whedon stay. protesters gathered in the northern italian city of cher rinn. after the visit of prime minister in mario dragging a day earlier, the police were in stunned by his own team. were demonstrators joined other rally in groups to question the government's policy to send arms to frame with big crowds in athens as well during a day long nationwide strike over rising prices and squeezed incomes, public transport, ferry schools, and hospitals were all effected. reese only emerged from a decade financial crisis in 2018,

but the pandemic 2 years later devastated its vital tourism industry. soaring energy prices surveyed by functions against russia, further hitting workers pockets. ah, the sanctions have also restricted russia's ability to pay off its international debts and foreign currency. on its meant for the 1st time, moscow settled almost $650000000.00 worth of euro bonds in roubles. russia attempt to make its bond payments on march 16th in dollars, but because of sanctions, predators were not able to receive them. that gave moscow 30 days to come up with a low turn of way to pay off the debt or the country would default. and the attempt to pay in revolt from them spokes person to be true. pascal said, if there is the fault, it would only be technical and created artificially prejudiced

. russia has all the necessary resources to settle its debts. you know that as difficult 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, let me just briefly break that down. there are 2 types of the full financial and technical financial default occurs when the borrower has not made a scheduled payment on a technical default is when an agreement is violated or can't be reached. ah, poland prime minister has criticized the manual micro for the french president's direct contacts with lot more putin, despite the ongoing efforts to media, to see fire in ukraine, the polish premier stays there is no diplomatic solution for the president. your

microphone. mister president mccormick, how many times have you negotiated with what your chiefs have you stop any of these actions from taking place criminals and not to be discussed to negotiate with criminals. must be full to get. nobody negotiated with hitler. would you negotiate with hitler? would you negotiate with stalin? would you negotiate with them? russia made it clear right at the start of its operation dot 81. so quote d, notification of ukraine. versions of neo nazi radicals have reportedly been active inside ukraine and parts of don boss since the qu, in 2014. at earlier i show you this. a polish tv channel was the noise stuff for a swastika was apparently seen in one of its programs. the notorious symbol was spotted in the background during an interview about ukraine. it's not clear if the tv channel was aware of hopefully showing a swastika during its broadcast, a polish political analysts. we spoke to thanks war sol as criticism of

a diplomatic approach to the conflict in ukraine, assured by some of its western life a following example. they are a senior partner, joe biden, who has also in several times the russian president and a duration. this is a way to point to practically destroying all kinds of relations with the reason that i think that the police are already making issues mistaken by doing statements. and it's not only diplomacy that war soul wants cancelled,

according to a polish minister. russian culture should be completely removed from the public, et cetera. glenn scheme thinks it's no time to be appreciating classic such as russian ballet or indeed any of the countries legendary authors. my tears, pest gorski, again weighs in on war sauls approach to all things russia. this is a voice o barbary as a single one minister of culture in the word room. and there to say such works. i mean, we have a lot of diversity is a lot of even worse in sometimes in the history of europe. but nevertheless, no one never called for the cancellation for total cancellation and for a kind of total banner off a culture of several country culture has nothing to do. it only takes, i mean we got is the political hoping else. we have to acknowledge that there are

russian country, is that one of the most in border barks, the european cultural heritage, as well as the russian science who has the russian, she was a fi or that is our lot for 9, but just a reminder for up to the minute developments, to give our twitter page follow will make sure you don't miss the things that matter today. good bye. ah. have you been following a conflict in ukraine online and from media? you have been very steady diet of opinions like who are the good guys and who are the bad guys and who is winning or losing context is largely absent and that's on purpose loan.
