10:02 am
this this is unconcerned footage. just minutes of the attack with panic among people at the scene and civilians have been evacuating the city through that train station. the bodies can be seen lying on the street, but on yet on ukrainian officials, fear the death code would rise further. ukraine's president's blame a russian army touched for you, miss saul. moscow as force as decommissioned them years ago and fly them is the landscape own advisor has already contradicted him claiming the station with hit by a russian is scanned. the missile well, correspondent maria foster reported for mason ukraine recently and now joined in the studio. thanks for coming in, maria. what do we know about this horrific incident so far? yes, indeed. another tragic event from people's republic. often as on friday morning, the rocket hate a railway station in the town of crematory, which is around 150 kilometers north of the nest. at the time,
10:03 am
weight was packed with thousands of civilians, including those trying to evacuate from the city. the stations officials say, now we hear that at least 30 people were reportedly killed and a more than a 100 injured. and the ukraine and officials blamed the russia and accused russia full days attack. but they contradict each other on what weapon was use. shortly after this station was targeted, but the presidential adviser posted in social media that it was, it's kinda short range, ballistic missile widely used by the russian army. but president lensky himself later said that it was such could you and actually at some hall likely because it's fragments were found at the scene. and there are many pictures. and there is also v do a posted by an eye witness from the ground where it's clear what weapon it is. so there can be question on this issue most go at the same time, denies any involvement, pointing out that the russian army hasn't been using poach for you,
10:04 am
weapon tactical weapon since late 2019 while ukraine has and does use it. this is their official statement. we emphasize in particular, the touch to you tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the crematory railway station, and published by all witnesses used by ukrainian armed forces. only new russian defense ministry also now says that they discovered that the missile was fired from the village of the warriors, some 55 tormentors from my tours. and it was done by the queen in rocky division that is station there. and this is what they say bought the purpose of this attack . the aim of kiev regime strike on the railway station in crematory cars to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a human shield to defend ukrainian armed forces positions, as in many of the ukrainian population centers have kia been a case of selling the region with touch to us before. yes, section. there was a similar incident just last march in just last month in the march than the center
10:05 am
of the city of the nest was targeted and $36.00 people were killed then. 17 sorry, people were killed and $36.00 others injured, which is a lot, but at the same time it's less than the time. and this is because back then the nissan was intercepted over the terry troop and told by the russian army and this time was ins on. so this is why we have more casualties this time. or if a national thanks to coming in, appreciate it. now as we mentioned, ukraine acclaimed russia hit the train station in use to miss gander. miss saw shown here on the left, however, as a military expert told, as they told you may sell in the strike. and which on the key of use is it still wants to be different with extent fins, much higher upon the rocket. the analysis of the fragments of the video and the images of the rocket that we can easily find right now in the media. clearly
10:06 am
indicates that it is spot of the grain and tactical racket complex touch, cool, white. what are the proofs? the evidence 1st war would have to be our attention to the unique form of we had stabilize us. it is very difficult to confuse it with and 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. but why? since 2019 such types 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
10:07 am
forces. severe fighting in mario paul, the 2nd biggest city in the don. yes, region has as russian and allied dumbass forces seek to pin down remaining ukrainian nation as troops on his mar, against reports, from outside the as of still factory where moscow's military has been advancing on the last pocket of resistance. most of mary, upa civilian neighborhoods have been liberated by russian horses or 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 also meters. he's the as 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,
10:08 am
thousands of ukrainian troops as well. and this is the majority at nationalists. that's with the as up, but that if you can give, that is russia. artillery struck the plot. from here we launched our drone to witness rockets and shells pounding ukrainian nationalist positions. jose was in a burden of some 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 meters of 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 be as of steel factory, lin, it'll be much easier when all of them are there more. so now that fighting has moved out of populated areas. russian and allied artillery is playing a greater and greater role of the positive motor new civilians in the plaza itself,
10:09 am
which is opened up on hoops, pulpit unities for russia to some russian auxiliary. they don't have to be so warri of civilian casualties. now the fight is moved into industrial zones, but with the 5 discipline, they say that they have heard on radio ah, english was says so english and which voices which says that there may be or the holeman he is fallen says inside the plot. but the voice of the rumors of nato instructor become me as alpha 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,
10:10 am
yes, is still very much fierce a border with someone 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 book. 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. opal is liberated and chances are high that soon we'll 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, will ukraine's president has given his speech to the greek parliament using statements by notorious neo nazi battalion trips. san miss lansky introduced
10:11 am
a member of the openly near nazi as of italian. he came to he was an ethnic greek. although he did not speak the language, greek parliamentarians gave him answer lensky as standing as ation. however, both top politicians and 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, including a message from an as off battalion member was wrong and inappropriate. from the british diplomat, william mullins says, the landscape promotion, if neo nazi regiment troops will backfire on greece's ruling policy. i think that
10:12 am
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 slapped us 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,
10:13 am
the account party also refused to attend the show and possibly the biggest party in cyprus. so let me 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 will cause the fall of the government, but the government will definitely lose a lot of votes. but us has proved a massive ansel fail to tie one significantly escalating tensions with beijing. as off the china refuse to bow through heavy whitehouse pressure to denounce russia's military campaign in ukraine and the reports, nancy pelosi, the u. s. how speaker plans to visit taiwan? beijing says there will be consequences if she does may volume. could you go to the us side should honor its commitment to the one china principal and the 3 china us joint communiques cancel the plan, visit of us house of representatives. speaker pelosi stop. it's official contact
10:14 am
with taiwan and fulfill its commitment of not supporting taiwan independence. if the united states insists on having its own way, china will take strong measures in response to unswerving lead, defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. all possible consequences that arise from such a visit will completely be borne by the us side. having failed to the fire nato member states lead by the us onset to provide weapons on cyber tech to nations in the in the pacific region. and it shows supports against china ortiz don quarter of the south. 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 co operation with our asia pacific partners . including in areas such as arms control, cyber hybrid and technology,
10:15 am
working more closely together will make us all safer and more secure. so let me get this straight. nato support ukraine's right to choose its own path, but not china's and the north atlantic treaty organization. sure is barking orders far away from the north atlantic. we have seen the shine law is unwilling to condemn russia's aggression and begging has joined moscow in questioning the right donations to choose to own pulse. this is a serious challenge to oh, soul. it makes it even more important than 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, margaret, it almost seems like we can't go through
10:16 am
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. then 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, anyone who do not want to see the ukrainian crisis,
10:17 am
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 european union with all its past rhetoric of peace, is also rearming with germany, for example, pledging $110000000000.00 to modernize its military. it's foreign affairs chief, even called the e, 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 u. s. is trying to have another wall, like a you credible is not enough. so they have to was, at the same time,
10:18 am
they want to challenge china over taiwan. we know there will be consequences about chinese foreign minister. you know, obviously this 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 bit confusing to see at this point of time, the us send you message glossy to taiwan, to provoke china, to support the tower independence. that's something that we know. this is a rep for the chinese is a simply hard to understand the simply acceptable you can see right now is the response that pop offense, matching china, visit the report. it says the government has to respond strongly as soon as possible. tanya is also talking with also strengthening its relations with russia by buying coal and oil from moscow and its currency b. u on in march,
10:19 am
several chinese firms use you on so russian, coal purchases, which will be arriving this month, and mark their. a first commodity shipments bought in beijing currency. meanwhile, the 1st shipments of russian oil purchased a new and will arrive at independent chinese were fine as in may. it has some analysts warning of the decline if the u. s. dollar as the world's reserve 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 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 of march, the 28th, the russian central bank resume purchasing gold from commercial banks, assessing
10:20 am
a fixed price of $5000.00 roubles. but one gram big deal, most definitely 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 at his pinnacle before world war one. but his elements continue to exist, happens in the early 19 seventy's. under the financial system, the value of the currency was denominated in gold. paper 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
10:21 am
a $5000.00 roubles to the bank and asked for one gram of gold in 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 to physical commodities and goals isn't the only was gold for rubles, rubles for gas? nobody did. i have decided to implement a set of measures to switch over payments for our natural gas and to russian rubles . the gas for rubles 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 accept one gram of gold tub barrel of oil. the discounted
10:22 am
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 rouble. 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 training 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. ah,
10:23 am
the un general assembly has voted to suspend russia from the organization's human rights council. washington proposed to me the key thing. moscow of human rights violations in you train. he has foreign minister, expressed his satisfaction, but the decision war criminals have no place in you and bodies aimed at protecting human rights. grateful to all member states which supported the relevant un general assembly resolution and shows the right side of history. china was one of the prominent no votes with $24.00 nations in total against the resolution. while $93.00 voted to suspend russia, the us thought moscow suspension off the key of accused russian troops of quote, killing hundreds of civilians and the key of sub up of russia. defense ministry denies kiev claims nursing. all russian forces withdrew from 2 days before they alleged to talk the criminal cause. it's another staging for the western media by the key of regime. let's get on this now. this guy lives,
10:24 am
he cannot the castle of russia's permanent representative to the us in geneva. thank you very much for joining us on the program. we really appreciate your time. now, as we now know, russia has been suspended from the you and human wise counsel. what are your thoughts on the matter and what more can you tell us? nothing below the human rights if you would only be rated decision to flash the government we share with you in the board and see. so this is something you might say allies to push out. now we see that the human rights council decision was
10:25 am
just manish duration. and it is clear that in these for my car actually will not be ready to the ration and participation in this body. and as you know, we decided that all of our mind, but it doesn't mean we're not going to implement our human rights obligations, will do this in our poor months, and we will not be and member on the council, but we will continue our international abilities many thanks for your time, thus canada counselor rushes permanent, representative to the you and in geneva. and thank you for joining us here
10:26 am
10:27 am
oh is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed? what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community, are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. here it finds itself in a quandary. it is determined to punish russia for its military operation in ukraine . it's favored policy. instrument is of course, sanctions of all sorts. but alas, it's not so simple. sanctions and gender counter sanctions. this translates into
10:28 am
economic paying for europe. who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing up in the future. probably when was the course renewed as you speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine the wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas news. i know they plenty of those with lower with the letter from, you know, we're pretty good regarding joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang self
