[000:00:00;00] ah ah, good disturbing images, not breaking news on the international moscow say the key of tanika you miss all has killed dozens of the injured more than a 100 at the don't you region train station as your current president, any phone advisor contradict each other and a bit to blame russia also ahead nash with the plot. i'll senior correspondent,

more galaxy have reports from the heart of the besieged tonya. it's region. city of mario poll as russia and allied forces tried to pin down remaining ukrainian nationalist troop and the u. s. broaden this pressure on china with nato expanding in the east and washington sending weapons to taiwan. ah, it's a pm here in moscow, and this is our t international with the latest news update. thank you for joining us. russia, se ukrainian tanika you missed ballistic missile has killed dozens, and injured more than a 100 in the don't yet, people's republic, city of crime, a tourist, we're about to show you the scenes from the immediate aftermath of the strike awarded. you might find the following footage. to study,

oh hello. is unconfirmed footage showing just minutes after the attack took place with panic among people at the scene. a civilians have been evacuating the city through that train station. dead bodies can be seen lying on the street and birth on yes can do ukrainian officials fear the death toll could rise further. ukraine's president blames a russian army tajir you miss. ah, but moscow's forces decommissioned them years ago. and vladimir zalinski zone advisor has already contradicted him claiming the station was actually hit by a russian iskander missile. asked is maria from ocean or who reported from east and ukraine recently told us more another deadly incident in peoples republic of de naz on friday morning, iraq at heat a railway station in town of crematory, which is around 150 kilometers north of denise. at the time when it was packed with

thousands of civilians, including those trying to evacuate from the city, the stations, officials say dramatic pictures from the ground, blood and dead bodies everywhere. the credit officials accused the russia of the attack, but they contradict each other on what weapon was used. shortly after the railway station was targeted, the presidential adviser posted in social media that it was, is, can that a short range ballistic missile widely used by the russian army. but president zelinski himself said it was touch q u, which is more likely because it's fragments were found at the scene and placed there are many pictures and there is also video posted by an eye witness from the ground where it's clear what weapon was that. so there can be questions on this issue. most co denies any involvement pointing out that the russian army hasn't been using touch. could you tactically, sales since late? 2019, while ukraine has and does use it. here is russia's defense ministry official statement

. we emphasize in particular, that touch could you tactical missiles, the wreckage of which was found near the cremmit toss grow weigh station and published by eye. witnesses are used by ukrainian armed forces only the 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 ukraine in rocky division . that is station there, and this is what they say about the purpose of this attack. the aim of the care of regime strike on the railway station in cremmit task was to disrupt the mass exit of residents from the city in order to use them as a human shield to defend ukrainian forces. positions, as in many of the ukrainian population centers has care, has been a case of shelling the region with touch can use before. there was a similar attack with for you, a miss how used a just last month in mid march. and then the center of the city of denounced was targeted. 17 people were killed and another $36.00 injured, which is a lot of horse,

but less than during this recent incident. that's because the missile back then was intercepted over the territory controlled by the russian army. this time it wasn't done. so this is why we see much more casualties. this time. as we mentioned, ukraine claimed russia hit the train station and used in escondido missiles shown here on the left. however, as a military expert told, is the toaster you miss selling the strike and which only care of uses is demonstrably different with his fins much higher on the rocket. the analysis of the fragments of the video and the images of the rocket that we can easily find right now. the media clearly indicates that it is spot of the grain in 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 we had stabilize this. it is very difficult to confuse it with not

the rocket. for example, russian is kinda, has totally different once. and another point. ease of the absurdity of the accusation of the rushing pot. why seems to solve them 19. 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 forces. severe fighting, continue the mario paul, the 2nd biggest, 50 in the don. yes. region. as russian and allied dumbass forces seek to pin down, remaining ukrainian nation is troops on his more galaxy reports from outside b as all fuel factory where moscow as military has been advancing on the last

pockets of resistance. most of mary, upa civilian neighborhoods have been liberated by run the 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 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 you canyon troops as well. and this is the majority at nationalists, nationalists bud the as off but that it is brushing artillery struck the plots from here we launched our drone to witness rockets

and shells pounding ukrainian nationalists positions just with one of them over 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 us, but we're pushing the rest of them out to the as of steel factory link. 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 note. there are new civilians in the plaza itself, which was opened up on a huge corporate unities for russian troops and russian auxiliary. they don't have to be so boring 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 voice is so english and which voices which says that there may be other woman is fallen says inside the plot. but i've also the rumors of nato instructed me to come in the alpha industrial complex laddies, according to various reports to get and verified instructors will officers from nato countries such as germany, britain frauds, as well as neutral sweden. according to the latest report suffice in yeah, as you can, yes, is still very much fierce. the border was 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 run through 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 are so desperate to evacuate. more ad gasdio of r t for mary opal machine is warned foreign states to stop pumping lethal weaponry and to ukraine, which has been used to if to useful illegal warfare and connect widespread war crimes, including by key at the top fighting force. he openly near nancy as of italian, we call on the international community to give an objective assessment of the crimes of ukraine informations to stop supplying them with weapons and to encourage keith to abandon unacceptable methods of warfare. the u. s. and

u. k. were providing weapons to ukraine even before the beginning of the conflict. many more western states have begun sending lethal aid to cave. in the last 2 months. washington has even approved a bill to use it that lend lease act to program last deployed in world war 2, to lend arms and other supplies to ukraine. g 7 member. italy has also pledged to provide legal aid with the prime minister taking a tough line on moscow. but growing numbers of italians are angry at their premier, seeing the sending of lethal laid as counterproductive to ending the conflict review name, morgan threat. i am very against the sending of weapons weapons do not increase peace and negotiation approaches. there are poles that say that the majority of italians, wonder serious piece negotiation and not the shipment of arms could united in the idea of sending weapons as a political decision. and i don't think it will help the ukrainian population from a social point of view. i disagree, we are fighting

a war by sending weapons. we understand that this does not work out, but simply that it's an awful idea that would only serve to escalate tensions. it can only lead to higher violence. it doesn't make any sense. they are spending money that should be invested in health care and other sectors. the u. s. has approved a massive arm sell deal to taiwan significant, significantly escalating tensions with beijing ass off the china refused to bow to heavy white house pressure to denounce russia's military campaign in ukraine. and there are reports. nancy pelosi, the u. s. how speaker plans to visit taiwan? beijing says there will be consequences if she does. 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 u. s. side. adding feel to the fire ne 10 member states led by the way south that to provide weapons and cyber attacks. nations in the india pacific region, and a show of support against china on teeth, on quota has 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 the 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 bitching has joined moscow in cushioning. there are donations to choose their own path. this is a serious challenge to, oh, soul. it makes it even more important, but 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 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 sea, $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 packs 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. a recent poll suggested people want to break with the countries post world war 2, tradition of leaving defense matters up to the us 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 as sad about chinese for minister, you know, obviously this was it,

it becomes true. it will, 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 usb was thing, the method glossy to one, to provoke china, to support the telling independence. that's something that we know this is a red line for the chinese is a simply hard to understand. simply acceptable. you can see right now there is the response that pop offense, matching china. basically everybody says the government has to respond strongly as soon as possible. china is also strengthening its relations with russia by buying coal and oil from moscow in his currency, the u. n. in march, several chinese firms used us for russian coal purchases, which will be good arriving this month and mark their 1st commodity shipments

bought in beijing currency. while the 1st shipments of russian oil purchased a new on will arrive at independent chinese refiners in may. it has some of this warning if the decline of the us dollar as the welds with the 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 of march, the 28th, the russian central bank resume purchasing gold from commercial banks, assessing a fixed price of 5000 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 it's 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 he'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, is 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 per 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. india's blocks dozens of facebook, twitter, and youtube accounts with billions of views spreading misinformation, including that new delhi,

had joined the ukraine war and was bombing russia. and the information minister warrant, they wouldn't hesitate to act against the social media giants. again, these channels were involved in spreading misinformation, impacting india sovereignty, national security, and relations with other countries. they were spreading fake news about the pandemic in the russia ukraine crisis. we won't shy away from taking such action in the future, and he revealed the fake news accounts had gone to extreme lengths to look legitimate, including using real news groups logos and the faces of top tv presenter is one of the accounts even claim to new delhi had nuclear bombs pocket on 2nd biggest city hall. the country is ban. 78 youtube sites alone since it brought in the tables. its rules acts last year. and indian cybersecurity experts is the amount of misinformation how skyrocketed since the ukraine war began. what do you mean by

what they've been so i don't lose some. busy youtube channels and social media handles which popped up and they were using the images of the popular news like india has bomb peoples and people that i've been a nuclear attack on in the cities. and they were a 1000000 people who were watching such news. and i'm going to do it has finally decided to block these big channels. i'm sure, because the national security people get influenced by all sort of people that pick up some people middle something which maybe along it does create must be missed. it does create what it does. theater is also in the solution with foreign states about which misinformation listing, spare i'm that is already you said to protect solid and independent policy and security to protect. busy from this information we have decided to love this

service, which was 30 speaking french presidential hopeful, marine la pan has rally beginnings, donte russia sanctions that will actually hurt europe out of this month election. the national valley leaders gaining fast in the polls on presidency monument from whitley, penn, standing out for less hostile stones towards russia. european corresponded to charlotte g. both. he has more. the opinion polls may have already called the 1st part of the selection. i repeat of 2017, but though he's 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 be 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 spent on 8, but no 8 is going to meet us all. it's in tenable hall, st. fix in case 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. all wages must follow this upward trend. all this

going to be trouble. job 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 alerting and fighting for years. of course, marine la pen can win nicole's 5 years of leadership as seen from space to most joyous times. there have been protests ranging from the yellow, vast 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 the he's that 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, cookie 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 is been tax evasion by these by, by mackenzie and these other consultancy firms. and then the 3rd allegation 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 france from the sphere of american influence. now, one her ties to russia were recently seen as a cause for concern that hasn't seemed to put off voters. firstly, of course, france is, 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 come 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's on going for that 2nd spot. eric, the more from the hod right and valerie chris from the center right? still have hope. in fact, almost this entire campaign is seen a shifting support towards more right wing policies. france has long been

considered the past in of left wing politics to 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 mc miller shone from the hard left hand a bump in the poles just recently. he is also seen as pro russian and vocally opposes nato millennial, though it seems, represents a dying breed with other candidates on the left. barely registering in. those surveys on sunday boots is will cast their ballot with 2 candidates progressing to the next stage. it's then that the real race will begin. charlotte, even ski, ot see paris. many thanks me, a company here are naughty international web back at the top of the hour with the latest.

ah, here or find yourself in a quandary 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 economic pain for europe. with a will to slither when you got the doris was going to assume that was would you lit up shift illness and you can say that those or more agreement the isley though in yeah, i'm not sure of me give you is you give them really, peter the number of see they have to put as either that they do gets what she has
