ah, ah, [000:00:00;00] a disturbing image is an breaking news on ot international moscow say the key i've told you miss all has killed dozens and injured more than a 100. i don't yet region train station as ukraine's president on his own advice. i contradict each other and a bit to blame russia. also ahead nationalism that with every stroke, the plug, ortiz, senior correspondent,

and write down the reports from the heart of the besieged on yet its region. 50 of mario pope. as russia and allied forces tried to pin down remaining ukrainian nationalist troops with us, broadened with pressure on china with nato expanding in the east, on the washington, sending weapons to taiwan. ah, thank you for joining us. this is all t international with the latest news update. russia, se ukrainian tanika you ballistic missile, has killed dozens and injured more than a 100 and the don units, people's republic of climates horst were about to show you the scenes from the immediate aftermath of the strike. a warning you might find the following footage,

disturbing. the, yeah, no, this is unconfirmed footage of the minute songs to the talk with panic among people at the scene that bullies can be seen lying on the street. however, it's in the hands, if it with a russian army touchscreen, you, although most goes force is decommission, is not a type of miss all years ago. president lensky, the presidential adviser has already contradicted him, claiming the station was hit by a rush and i scanned my file. if you cranial, and on yes, officials faring the death toll could rise further. as civilians has been evacuation a city through the train station or correspondence joins is in the studio for more now. maria phenomena, thanks for coming in. highly upsetting scenes that. what more do we know at this point about this horrific incident? yeah,

another tragic incident now in people's republic of the desk or on friday morning, a rocket heet, a railway station in town of cremmit host, which is around 150 kilometers north of the, near. at the time when it was packed with thousands of civilians including those trying to evacuate the city, the station officials say we now hear that at least 30 people were reportedly killed and a more than a 100 injured pictures from the ground are in be very dramatic. and we see blood and dead bodies everywhere you create an officials accused russia off the attack, but they actually contradict each other on what weapon was. use the presidential adviser, mr. already storage. shortly after the attack post and social media that was is, can there short range ballistic missile that is widely used by the russian army. but president davinsky himself in a separate post set that it was touched for you. so there is no, you know, they,

they contradict each other in that and an actually most go denied any involvement. and when they point out that coach for you is only used by ukraine's armed forces is a tactical weapon and rushes. defense ministry also now says that they discovered that it was fired from the village of the polio. some 55 kilometer is away from my tours and it was fired by ukraine in division. that a station there. this is their official statement. all statements by representatives of the care of nationalist regime about an alleged missile attack by russia on the railway station in the city of cremmit, or on april the 8th or a provocation. and are absolutely untrue. we emphasize in particular, that touch, could you tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the crematory grey station and published by eyewitnesses used by ukrainian armed forces. only. i have to remind you that last month there was

a similar attack with the torture you weapon used. then the center of the city of the nation was targeted and was heat. and 17 people were then killed and $36.00 others injured, which is less than now. but that was because at that time put you was heat by by other weapons and it actually failed to to be used completely. but this time the tag was not prevented. and this is why we see much more people killed. maria, thank you for coming in with those. those are over these house an arrest motion. i thank you. well, as relation to ukraine claimed russia hit the train station and used any scandal massage shown here on the left. however, as a military expert told her, the coach could you miss all in the strike in which only care views it is

demonstrably different with its fins much higher up on the rocket. the analysis of the pregnancy of the video and the images of the rocket that we can easily find right now in the media clearly indicates that it is spot of the grain and tactical racket complex touch. cool, why? what are the proofs? the evidence 1st war would have to be our attention to the unique form of weird step eliasis. it is very difficult to confuse it with not the rocket. for example, a russian is kinda, has totally different once. and another point. ease of the absurdity of the accusation of the russian plot. why? since 2019 such type of rocket complex had been officially withdrawn from the service of russian military forces. so right

now, during their special military operation, there is no one such types of arguments that can be used by russian forces. severe fighting in mariel, paul, the 2nd biggest city in the dawn, yes. region as russian and allied on bus 40 seek to pin down remaining ukrainian nation as trips to mark downs reports from outside the as of still factory where most goes military has been advancing on the last pockets of resistance. most of mary. upa civilian neighborhoods have been liberated by russian horses some unscathed, some scarred and wasted by urban combat ah, via alleys and yards. we walked as far as was relatively safe in the distance that $200.00 or so meters, he's the out of steel and iron works plant,

which is where most of the fighting is now concentrated here on the left bank of mario full city, a vast number, thousands of ukrainian troops as well. and this is the majority at national with the as off, but that it is russian artillery struck the plot from here we launched our drone to with us rockets and shells pounding, ukrainian nationalist positions. jose was another one of them. ogre, the situation as intense, we're engaging and gun battles as combat at close quarters, almost face to face. the distance between buildings here as 50 to 70 meter level, sometimes even closer. we've been advancing from the very morning all along the front line. the enemy is fighting back with, but we're pushing the rest of them out to the as of steel factory and it'll be much easier when all of them are there more. so now that fighting his moved out of

populated areas, russian and allied artillery is playing a greater and greater role of the positive motor them civilians in the plot itself, which is opened up on hooks. we'll put unities for russia to some russian auxiliary . they don't have to be so warry civilian casualties now, but the fight is moved into industrial zones. but with the fight discipline, they say that they have heard on radio ah, english voice, so english, and which voices, which says that there may be other woman is fallen, says inside the plot, but have also the rumors of nato instructor become miasma . industrial complex laddies, according to various report to get and verified instructors will offices from nato countries such as germany, britain frauds,

as well as neutral sweden. according to the latest report suffice here, as you can, yes, is still very much fierce about those books and then they worked professionally in small groups. it would have been impossible to train locals to that standard. even in 8 years, we've seen foreigners, even dark skinned individuals franzoni twice now. ukraine has launched high risk helicopter evacuation missions to mario boat. several helicopters have even made it out, though most were destroyed. the window of opportunity though, is closing with every day. more and more of mary, apple is liberated and chances are high that soon will find out just who these, that ukraine and its allies. a su, desperate to evacuate. more ad gazda of r t for mary opal. ah, ukraine's president has given

a speech to the greek parliament using statements by notorious neo nazi battalion troops. but vladimir polanski engineer the man by the opening neo nazi as a battalion he claimed he was an ethnic greek, although he did not speak the language. greek parliamentarians gave him an zalinski, a standing ovation. however, both top politicians on the public, a furious all those who clapped to this should hang their heads in shame that those who oppressed the greeks of mary u. paul were given a platform in parliament. there's widespread condemnation from all political spectrums and greek media against dissolve appearance in the greek parliament. but only weeks ago there was a huge white washing of them. are we fine with the resolve so long as they're not in greece or did something change now? solidarity with the ukrainian people is a given what the nazis could not have a say in parliament. full of british diplomats william mullins and say, sullens case promotion of neo nazi regiment trip slowed back fire increases ruling

policy. i think that this scandal of this as of a madman being allowed to even address a whole greek parliament is, is, is an example of the fact that greece does not have its own foreign policy. now it's highly embarrassing for the government. even the opposition is furious. about it, a former prime minister summit us is furious and i think we're going to see a little more come out in the wash over the next few days. because it's not enough to say that this is just greek slapdash behavior incompetence. it goes deeper than that. so, and it's annoyed a lot of people and it's highly emotional, particularly because of the large greek community in the south of the ukraine. so those my initial comments, although i can also add that apart from the some greek political parties that

refused to attend the show in cyprus, the cal party also refused to attend the show and possibly the biggest party in cyprus. so let me so say it's a shame that greece doesn't have the independence of hungary or turkey. you see. so it is a scandal, and i don't think it'll cause the fall of the government. the government will definitely lose a lot of votes. the u. s. has approved a massive on sales deal to taiwan significantly, escalating tensions with beijing as also china refused to bow to heavy whitehouse pressure to denounce russia's military campaign in ukraine. and there are reports top. now there are reports that us house of representatives speak and nancy pelosi plans to visit taiwan. but bating historically opposed to that saying if she goes there will be consequences may volume crucial. you go to the u. s. side should honor its commitment to the one china principal and the 3 china u. s. joint communiques cancel the plan,

visit of us house of representatives. speaker pelosi may stop its official contact with taiwan and fulfill it's commitment of not supporting taiwan independence. if the united states insist on having its own way, china will take strong measures in response to unswerving lead, defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity at all possible consequences that arise from such a visit will completely be borne by the us side. adding fuel to the fire nathan and the states lead by the u. s. s that to provide weapons and cyber tech to nations in the india pacific region. and i show the port against china and he is donald court as the details. it tried to bully china and to taking a side and it failed. nato says it's done with talking and has moved on to saber rattling. we see that china has been unwilling to condemn russia's aggression and has joined moscow in questioning the right of nations to choose their own path. so i expect we will agree to deepen nato's cooperation with our asia pacific partners,

including in areas such as arms control, cyber hybrid and technology. working more closely together will make us all safer and more secure. so let me get this straight. nato supports ukraine's right to choose its own path, but not china's, and that north atlantic treaty organization sure is barking orders far away from the north atlantic. we have seen that shine law is unwilling to condemn russia's aggression and begging has joined moscow in questioning the right donations to choose their own path. this is a serious challenge to oh, soul. it makes it even more important. don't respond together to protect our values as always nato's following close behind the u. s. which has never hidden its burning desire to contain its main competitor, china only now washington's inching closer than ever, towards a military confrontation with it. having failed to shame beijing and to thinking

it's on the wrong side of history. the u. s. is switching gears into fear mongering . it almost seems like we can't go through a month without some new revelation coming about china. in my mind, the chinese are building a military that is capable of coercion, which requires us to have a strategy to be able to stand up to that coercion or defend the indo pacific in the broader world order that the u. s. and our allies value washington also claims china is acting aggressively by setting up military bases in the south china sea. instead, the u. s. says it should militarize the area again, the south china c. $95000000.00 worth of american military equipment has been approved for ty, ones used to achieve that end, including patriot air defense systems. and there's august, the security packed between australia, the u. s. and the u. k. when it says it wants a free indo pacific, it clearly means one free from china. and so the pacts entering the growing arms race for hypersonic missiles. china, on the other hand, is sending out

a warning to the west. don't provoke beijing. the way you did moscow, any one who do 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, all the while the west and its allies are fixing their bayonets in japan. recent poll suggested people want to break with the countries post world war 2, tradition of leaving defense matters up to the u. s. and strengthen its own national defenses, the repeated union with all its past rhetoric of peace is also rearming with germany, for example, pledging $110000000000.00 to modernize its military and foreign affairs chief, even called v, was last high profile summit with china, a dialogue of the death looks like all is revealed about the west foreign policy when it doesn't get its way through diplomacy. it's our way or the highway,

or maybe the us is trying to have another week's like a you create a war is not enough. so they have to was at the same time, they want to challenge china over taiwan. we know there will be cost with is a sad about chinese for minister, you know, obviously it was, it, it becomes true. it will, you know, there will be implications. and the consequences, you know, you can expect a strong response from the chinese side. so it's really confusing to see at this point of con, the us, the method glossy to one, to provoke china, to support the tower dependence. that's something that we know. this is the red line for the cherrmis. it's a simply, it's hard to understand a simply acceptable you can see right now there is the response that pop offense, matching china, visit the report. it says the government has to respond strongly. as soon as possible. china is also strengthening its trending in size with russia by buying

coal and oil from moscow and its currency the u. on. in march, several chinese firms used you on so russian, coal purchases, which will be arriving this month. and mark that 1st commodity shipment sport in beijing currency. meanwhile, the 1st shipments of russian oil purchased a new one will arrive at independent chinese refiners in may. and have some analysts warning at the decline if the us dollar as the world's was as currency. imagine a gold backs rubel tied to the oil price. sounds too good to be true, but yet it is a month into the western the sanctions. the russian currency has regained all its losses and is ready to challenge the international trade and monetary system. in early march, many thought it was teetering on the edge of the abyss. that one decision changed everything. the golden mood for march, the 28th,

the russian central bank resume purchasing gold from commercial banks, assessing a fixed price of $5000.00 roubles. but one gram big deal, most definitely a fixed price, a gold indirectly ties the rouble to the market value of the precious metal. the trick is simple. if one gram of gold cost, $5000.00 roubles is also fair, that $5000.00 roubles of, with one gram of gold markets reacted immediately pushing the exchange rates upwards. is the gold standard back? the formal gold standard was that is pinnacle before world war one. but its elements continue to exist up until the early 19 seventy's. under the financial system, the value of the currency was denominated, ain gold type of money could be easily converted into coins and bullion at

a fixed rate, and vice versa. in russia, it's not the case. if you bring a $5000.00 roubles to the bank and ask for one gram of golden return, you'll be out of luck. it's more of a one way street. fixed gold price right now is any valid for central bank purchases? but it's still sending a very powerful signal to the market, unlikely. majority of modern currencies, backed by nothing more than the faith of their holders. the rouble now has eyes to physical commodities. and goals is the only one gold for rubles, rubles for gas, lupins. and i have decided to implement a set of measures to switch over payments for our natural gas and to russian roubles. the guests for roubles initiative is another game changer. with natural gas prices tied to the rubel, and the rubel tied to gold ties between rubles and gold, could allow russia to accept the precious metal as payment in oil trade measure.

russia saying it will excite one gram of gold tub barrel of oil. the discounted offer, very tempting. what happens next? by a stop buying fiscal goal to pay for russian oil exports. high demand pushes gold prices further up. and if the gold prices are on the rise, so is the ruble. and he moved by russia to accept gold for oil will cause more of its influx into countries, reserves, meaning even more stabilization and support for the national currency. on the verge of global dominance. as a major produce of golden energy resources, russia holds enough supply to back its currency and enough commodities to over at a reasonable price in exchange for gold in the global market. such a gold based trading system is yet to be built. but with the idea of shifting away from the donor more popular than ever,

we may soon see it materialize with the warn you train a key issue even though to the head of elections in france. that poll suggest marine le pen is closing in on president emmanuel crohn, a national ronnie leda takes a far less hostile attitude towards russia than other candidates. your correspondence shall, it depends. he has, well, the opinion polls may have already called the 1st part of this selection, a repeat of 2017. but though is apparently no longer in the running on not giving up the fight and with a 3rd of people still yet to make up their mind. there is a lot to play for. middle shall ends in lieu of quite a long way behind them. so the chances of them being in the 2nd round a is, are relatively low. just 2 months ago, this election was due to the futon regular theme security,

tara migration. but since february 24th, a lot has changed. the cost of living, including the price of energy and soaring food costs are biting, some of which has come directly as a result of sanctions that were imposed on russia by the european union. cooper for us. here in france, it's already very, very hard regardless of ukraine. i'm against war, but the french can't have immigrant every time from africa, from the south, from everywhere. it's impossible. it's too much for us. i pay 52 percent of my income on taxes and social security. it's been spin on 8, but no 8 is going to meet us all. it's in tenable hall, st. fix and kick gear. it's a wild white crisis. a price of a liter of petra is certainly going to impact every sake associated with transporting rule materials. that is, all wages must follow this upward trend or this going to be trouble ya. bob ecology sick. while emmanuel lack on has been predicted to be a shoe in for re election,

some, a openly voicing concern, maureen le pen can be elected president of the republic. it's one minute to midnight. impossible to say that it was not foreseeable. i have been a learning and fighting for years. of course, marine la pen can when michael's at 5 years of leadership is seen france face to most show us times. they have been protest ranging from the yellow vest movement which started initially over taxes on feels to anger over his plans to increase the retirement age. and in the latest blue to his hopes. the french senate has now launched an investigation. this is into his government's payments made to consultancy firms in 2021 that reached a record level of 1000000000 euros were still one american firm. mckinsey which has received substantial payments is said to have not paid corporation tax for

a decade. i think they are damaging, because the french were talking about visceral feelings. the french do not like money. they, whenever there is a whiff of money and mutual back scratching, copy, nauseous, they say in french then that can be very dangerous for candidates. and this because the issue does indeed seem to be a very, very serious scandal. the allegation, of course, that there has been tax evasion by these by mackenzie, and these are the consultancy firms. and then the 3rd delegation, which is that they've in kind, they've given the help to the, to the can michael campaign for free. so, i mean, you know, you've got 3 scandals in one. meanwhile, marine le pen has seen her fortunes improve recently. she wants out of nato and to remove frogs from the sphere of american influence. now,

while her ties to russia were recently seen as a cause for concern, that hasn't seemed to put off voters. firstly, of course, frances, you know, has a tradition of being relatively friendly to russia. and the french people are not objectively hostile. of course, there is a lot of emotion about the wall as there is everywhere. but it has not become a political football among between the candidates, it is in that sense, been absent from the camp short of a disaster, mac korn, is expected to make it in to the 2nd round. the pens chances are high too, but there is still a fierce battle let on going for that 2nd spot. eric the more from the hard right and valerie chris from the center right? still have hope. in fact, almost this entire campaign is senior shifting support towards more right wing policies. france has long been considered the past in of left wing politics. so why

has this happened for people of my generation, the socialist party has nothing to say or offer. we are in a turning point for the left in france. they have to be reborn in a new political force. that doesn't mean that left wing politics is dead in fact. so look millichef from the hard black hat, a bump in the polls. just recently. he is also seen as pro russian and vocally opposes nieto. mila sean, though it seems, represents a dying breed wave of the candidates on the left barely registering in those surveys. on sunday, voters will cast their ballot with 2 candidates progressing to the next stage. it's then that the real race will begin. charlotte, even ski, r t, paris. we appreciate your time and company here in our t international will be back at the top of the i with the latest.

ah ah ah, ah. oh is your media a reflection of reality?

ah, in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah ah
