[000:00:00;00] with with mass protests erupt in pakistan with tens of thousands taking to the city streets around the country and support the recently outfit. prime minister iran khan, who says washington pushed for his removal because of his close ties with russia and china. western media once again shows you premium forces displaying nazi symbols without mentioning that fact as an icon of an s s division is clearly seen in images of ukrainian soldiers praying for victims of the war. half of marble is now reportedly under russian control, as intense fighting continues. r t speaks with locals to learn about their

experiences under the neo nazi as our fighters who previously control the city the right there is due to the fighting the combat. yet people here they so much as turn and local or flinch, the sound of explosions and gotten fun in math, they used as, as human shields, 1000 nationalist bastards would drive into our residential neighborhood fire something very loud, then ran away with broadcasting live from our studios in moscow, this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, pakistan has been jolted by mass protests and cities around the country following the parliament ouster of prime minister m ron khan at the weekend. tens of thousands have taken to the streets in support of the outgoing leader who has accused us of pushing to remove him because of his strong ties with russia and china.

ah, the parliament held a vote of no confidence against the run kong following a week's long political stand off and members of the opposition and the military speaking out against him, con, had earlier moved to dissolve parliament, saying it had been corrupted by foreign powers, particularly the us, but the supreme court said he did not have the authority to do so. the parliament is now set to appoint a new prime minister con has said that he won't recognize a replacement. he appeared at a large demonstration in the capital is on about, on sunday, and expressed thanks to his supporters by way of a message on twitter. thank you to all pakistanis for their amazing outpouring of

support and emotions to protest against us backed regime change, abetted by local, merge a farce to bring into power a quarter re of pliable crooks all out on bail. it shows pakistani at home and abroad, have emphatically rejected this. this is demand gave her, i mean with inside, with insight, with small and i'm new cerebral time comes with

the order, quite happy with i working as a journalist for last 30 years. this is one time, i mean with the u. s. has denied the allegations of having interfered in the motion against con, saying it respects pakistan's rule of law. but many of his supporters believe there was a foreign hand at play in the aster. at pakistan, pakistan is legitimate government has been removed after us interference all the institutions, including the judiciary, assisted in this people. those same thieves and looters have been imposed on us

again to plan on making you data so boldly to now lice. and we don't want our hopes to and our children now struggling like how we did it. we want to tell hell what this is not a democratic way to and to government. what does america think they will biased audio, but they won't happen. everyone should trace their voice against the decision by western media has been caught displaying neo nazi symbols among ukranian forces without mentioning the fact in their coverage of a really religious event for casualties in the cave region. you know, the queue. yeah, i mean it was for the for the the highlighted symbol refers to the nazi ss, galicia division formed during world war 2 among collaborators and what is now western ukraine and poland. the polish parliament has specified that the division committed acts of genocide. its been internationally recognized as

a criminal organization. and such nazi symbolism is officially banned in ukraine, but streets in some ukrainian cities have been named after the recognition division and marches. to honor it are openly health. this is not the 1st time the western media has displayed such symbols. last month, the b. b. c ran a report, interviewing ukrainian soldiers featuring one who was displaying and nazi s. s a skull symbol. we heard from independent journalist taylor who duck, who says the western establishment media aren't going to focus on neo nazi of them in ukraine because it doesn't fit into their narrative. it is quite puzzling that the sign would include something like this, but of course it may show that the media is just becoming a little too comfortable and feeling a little bit too competent. the fact that they would portray the ukrainian folder appear to have these nazi symbols. and as we know that there are nazis, i wouldn't even say neo nazis, but not these in ukraine,

in the western eastern media outlets. in fact, reported on this around 20132014, but now because it serves the west, they are no longer going to be talking about that and highlighting this. and so it's very disturbing to see western media outlets and western government support nazis in ukraine right now. and that is precisely what we are seeing. and i think that this is all because it serves again, the interest of western governments in western intelligence agencies. we've seen time and time again that unfortunately, it is as if it is the role of the mainstream media to sort of push the propaganda that serve the western nato. allied country. fighting is still raging in the city of mario pulling the done yet republic with the russian military noting the kid has been trying to evacuate neo nazi. as a battalion troops from the battle through seeds,

vessels at the cities. port russia has said its freed, some of the sailors, ukrainian president ones he has said in an interview with the associated press. that marsupial is ad quote, the heart of this war as the outcome of the battle could define upcoming peace negotiations or cheese. but guys, you have reports near as you can see, we have been able to reach the water front. here in the middle, almost the geographic middle of mario bull, city race means that the ukrainian forces in the city itself have now been split into at least 2 pots. perhaps more because they're in the distance ease the as of steel and iron works, industrial complex which is where thousands of ukrainian nationalists are making their stand we. we don't want a bull goths to the war the front because there's merely a kilometer between us and the as of steel, industrial complex,

which is well within range of a good sigh. but on the other side is the port of mario book, which is where another group of ukrainian forces troops as well as nationalist elements of also been surrounded. they have already lost a significant part of the port, which has been liberated by russian forces. but again, this means that a significant amount of ukrainian troops of now been split and encircled it all came at a tremendous cost. ukrainian nationalists made fortresses out of people's homes, the neighbourhood, even as they forbid them from leaving those homes under the penalty of death. human shields on top of scorched earth. this is the right bank of marble orbits. downtown and city center fighting here was

especially ferocious. but these at least over now people are once again that the streets no longer hiding in basement. some of them with what possessions they have left on carts, their apartments and houses burned. some buildings are more or less. okay. others, as you can see, are completely destroyed, burned, and on the verge of collapse. mere streets away now or the result of the fighting, the combatant. yet people here they that him so much as turn and local or flinch. uh the sounds of explosions and gunfire. wherever you go and liberated areas, todd and weary civilians, polkas piled with their possessions of firewood loaded with water. for weeks they

had been unable to do, even that. now that the shock and horror of battle have worn off, they speak frankly hungry. he and i imagined they used us as human shields from those nationalists, bastards would drive into our residential neighborhoods. fire something very loud, then ran away before the return. fire came, they used as an even took away our food. the lawyer kicked that. it's the same story. all over the city, the nationalists, who are predominantly from west and regions of ukraine, have always viewed the pro russian east of the country with disdain. they despised us, we all knew it even children, they would make them seem ukrainian anthem before and after lessons. and if they refused, their grades would be lower too. and the parents were too scared to complain. when booting spoke of genocide than you crave against russian peoples and russian

culture. this is what he meant. the kidnappings, the secret prisons and torture, the brain, washing of thousands, western press ignored this. people were too scared to cry out for help. you said you've got years, they told us. if we have to retreat room what to city of the face of that at the national i sent this tacitly back in 2014. i remember the national as festa pita now city. a woman in the keel had been get fast called amount defenders. and one of them turned around and told hm who sadly came here to defend jesus with come to make mincemeat out of v. and that's what dancing now. there's not long left soon, the guns and mary you will, will full silence and the city will be liberated at may take years and years to rebuild. but it will take even longer generations for society to healed.

psychologically from the ravages of ukrainian nationalists. hoover 8 long years. we're, i'd gas the of r t for mary opal. russian daniel joint forces have freed 47 sailors from vessels captured by. as of nationalists in mario pl. we heard from some of them and how they describe their terror that they went through. good quine forces came on board, introduced himself at the zone battalion. so they saw that the control console was operational and decided to break it using the stocks of their rifles and their cut, the wires, jewels to him, navigational and radio hardware all was destroyed. when the assault came here, they used an excuse to come, they claimed we revising russian military ships, balsam with open sea. they forced the crew to come here to the captain's bridge. they told us to lay down took all the money, phones, laptops, everything valuable. they didn't, he does though, didn't press physically too much. he currently,

i mean there are 14 people in the crew. 13 of them are ukrainians, one as russian. yeah. the russian army visited us as well. offer to provide food and water, no one offered evacuation. then we've been told to stay at the port ever since we entered it. we are happy to finally head back home. we had no contacts or chance to talk to our families. it's very unusual to leave the ship this way. question more. italian journalist georgia bianchi says he is suspicious about the credibility of the ukrainian and western versions of the alleged massacre in butcher. according to him, there is no direct evidence to accuse the russian army of involvement we heard from him, and why he thinks ukraine's official narrative appears. illogical. pin belize. sure, so livable leona had logical doubts about the situation in boucher. i have no

direct evidence disproving the statement by the ukrainian side. some of the facts appeared to have merit. my media doubted due to a delay of information from butch up then issue reports about dead bodies came only after a substantial amount of time had passed since the russians left the area. why didn't anyone report about those bodies earlier? why was there such a delay? there are a lot of things that don't make sense and there's no direct evidence to connect the russian army with any of these crimes. none is possible, there was an act of ethnic cleansing as the ukrainians have claimed. so many times after the russian army left. it would have been a good opportunity to commit a cleansing of those who had been in solidarity with russia. if possible that some of the bodies were of those killed from shelling while others were victims of such a cleansing, it would have been convenient to conduct the cleansing at that time. because it would then be possible to shift the blame from themselves to the russian troops. like humbly the professional trained russian army would engage in such an incident with civilians in a territory that it wanted to manage. the russian army can't allow even the

slightest mistake, because the western media are there waiting for a convenient moment to cast blame against russia. that's why russia could not have behaved in such a way. the global community has come out in assistance for ukrainian refugees. a recent event in warsaw called stand up for ukraine, raised about $11000000000.00 for civilians displaced by the conflict that followed a visit by u. s. president joe biden, to hundreds of refugees in warsaw. it's an outpouring of support. unlike what was seen earlier with migrants from war torn nations in the middle east, we heard from nationals of countries devastated by the u. s. when what they think about that this morning, president biden poised to come face to face with ukrainian survivors for the 1st time president today had refugees in the crowd of his big address. and he also met directly with ukrainian refugees at a stadium in warsaw. he visited

a soccer stadium, turned into a refugee center in warsaw, where he got to top with mothers and children at dc ukrainian. refugee got a selfie with president biden, while about 2500000 syrian children who fled that country have been shunned by the u. s president of how to vote, although the war in ukraine broke out a very short time ago for the u. s. president visited those ukranian refugees. in our case all they wanted to destroy our country. they never cared about the refugees of displaced. we've been in distress for a while, but no one offered us. anyhow. we have been surrounded and suffered hunger, thirst, and extreme whether no one helped us, not even the americans have at 100. 20000 bombs have been dropped on syria, rob by the u. s. and allies nearly 400000 syrian civilians have been killed while the u. s. is only accepted nearly $25000.00 syrian refugees. many accredited refugees were a law, but worse to stay in europe,

closure their homes. but we've also will walk them $100000.00 ukraine is united states will focus on reuniting families. but why is it because ukrainians look european this is a relatively civilized, relatively european. they look like any european family that you would live next. daughter, this is not a developing bud. well they said this is new york or is it because the us wouldn't like what syrian refugees would tell them? the american dream is aligned, there is no such thing. we're living on our land. what do they have to do with this? they hired bandits gave them money to control us law. one of the americans don't care of villians live or die. they only care about the militants. i definitely don't expect the u. s. president to visit us because he doesn't care about the syrian people. he doesn't care if we are hungry or not all he seeks is this personal interest. energy prices have been skyrocketing in europe with no end in

sight. mid suffocating sanctions against the world's largest fuel exporter russia. around 18000000 households in the u. k. are expected to see their energy bills go up by more than 50 percent this month. some experts have started to draw frightening parallels with the energy crunch of the 1970s when a fuel shortage severely impacted people around the globe. and he's ref, notion explains the u. k is in crisis morris johnson desperately looking for new sources of energy. he promises to build one nuclear reactor, a year, fix mistakes, so that britain is never blackmailed as he claims by russia. this is about tackling some of the other mistakes of, of the past to making sure that we are set well for the future. i will no longer subject to will never again subject to the vagaries of the global all gas prices. we can't be subject to blackmail as it were from people such as vladimir putin. we

have energy security here in the u. k. the mistakes of the past i felt deeply the situation is critical. the u. k has not had such problems since the energy crisis of the 19 seventy's. this really is a historic shock to real incomes. the shock from energy prices this year will be larger than every single year in the 19 seventy's. so what happened in the seventy's? the 1973 arab israeli war prompted an oil embargo by opec that led to a fuel shortage and resulted in global recession. the world suddenly realized just how dependent it was on the middle east and opec for its oil. britney, suffering chronic inflation, and rising prices. very similar to current inflation rates. they calls spade limits lines at petrol stations. i remember joining long queues to my local petrol station, ron, or paintin and being limited to a gallon or to a 4 star wellstar country was plunged into crisis. a few observes were saying that

the answer to high prices is always high prices. and so it proved consumption was carved in the night to seventy's and supply grew dramatically back. then the government even urged citizens to hate only one room to save money. what is being offered now? something similar, the labor party quickly came up with a solution in the spirit of the seventy's to rush and energy rolling blackouts. the government should be preparing not necessarily in public for that situation. there's a lot of complacency in this country about the relative lower exposure to russian gas that we have. the labor proposal is far from universally popular, but forest found his own way out. on april the 1st, the government hiked electricity prices by 54 percent. at the stair record 30 year inflation rate and experts say hundreds of thousands of u. k citizens could be pushed below the poverty line. this will see a further 1300000 people fall into absolute poverty next year,

including 500000 children. the 1st time britain has seen such a rise in poverty outside of recessions. so trying to correct what it calls the mistakes of the past. the u. k is now at risk of falling into an even darker reality. fierce protests have erupted in france after the presidential elections 1st round to ended up with a mere 3 percent gap between incumbent and manual micron and far right. candidate marine the pen and the city of ren hundreds of people protested against both mac juan and le pen shouting anti fascist slogans. demonstrators were seen setting up barricades and starting a fire with significant police presence in place. it's estimated that around 500 people in the streets of the french town following the election results that isn't for me. i will be back in about 37 minutes with another foreign 1st look . you know,

this is our international students. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i think you're which of the problems to cause shown here as we speak on the bill in your senior, mostly mine,

or wish you were banding all imports of russian oil and gas news by where you're suffering the piper i have been, i know they said key with info, let me know when you have regarding joe biden, imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy, so there's your boomerang self with . mm

well welcome to well, that part when the american rule is pakistan, support then driving to soviets out of ghana stand they quietly a little bit the way to allow islam of us to put the finishing touches to the nuclear bomb. fast forward some 40 years and the same actors, the same powers are at loggerheads here again, this time in ukraine, who's president earlier this year, and now his country's intention to develop again, it's nuclear military capability. would the americans look away yet again? if it were to undermine moscow, well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by assad. dirani, former director general of pakistan's inter services intelligence. mr. dirani. thank you very much for your time. it's a great honor for me to talk to you. welcome, welcome. so now you were in charge of pakistan's intelligence services in the early 1991, the soviet union collapsed and a few years before that,

i'm sure you're witness. then the follow the so it pull out from of janice than when he now here western analyst compared the current operation to current russian operation. ukraine to you know, the previous one in afghanistan and some of them, i think, predicting the consequences will be the same that russia will be buried as a state in ukraine. what are your thoughts? do you think those are accurate predictions? there are many parallels between brilliancy creations, but to find a son or a new cream, i can think of a couple. anyone coming through a fun is fun, but it should show the american sh. our neighborhood. used to call it shit except lakes. ted ford, one score ukraine, the strategic depth of russia. you called the near abroad because you know the satellite dish and who fell abroad. but all of us are concerned with what happens in your neighborhood. so we took

a great risk the supporting the resistance agrees to super bus trowbridge unit that america 20 years in case of you could and there was absolutely no doubt for the last 10 years we have seen 2014 was the 1st crisis that this has been declared as the red lane, understandably, if with this nettle that noticed next doors, it was bad enough that it does come that far. but this is now the way. now if it happened, suddenly, you couldn't, didn't become a member of nato then a contradict than a guide, because because then it is a member of their lines. and this inter, any, as far as moscow's concerned, there is no difference between them being officially a member of neither or not being a member of neither as long as the western weaponry is being provided into ukraine . now, pakistan, if i remember baghdad, you know, back in the eighty's, it was not

a member of nato, but you know, the americans, you use it quite extensively for this particular case is just one difference. one could go in ukraine and other natural countries, as we have seen, cannot physically intervene. but if they are, if it was, i'm a member, then i don't think a treasure could ever read it. but all the differences and the similarities can we talked about. but that seems to be, to me, concern about your security parameters, independent of no concern commonwealth independent stage for but she has to offer, i mean, these things are creature so that you should go in. i'll tell you about as to well, can i actually ask about that? because there are western and friends, perhaps only publicly, but that's the view that they are articulate to them. this idea of buffer zones on neutral stage is almost in

a fraud. they always claim that smaller countries i entitled to their own ride in deciding, you know, how they're going to provide for their security, or whether they're going to outsource it to somebody else. isn't that simple? it is because in their case they can afford to talk about it. for example, if you have above all your lunch leg now to invest in europe, this seems good. the you don't need, let's see, the so called securities on or keeping the enemy or it. but there are countries or buses on their dos, then they have reasons for good control. nowadays, the biggest worry about the refugees, about humanity graces about is not because the water is broken out, was broken, our children, yours is water next door, sir. and so if that is the reason they are panicking, one can understand relief source, no man learns buffers. what do they mean? so if you don't, you sure. if you think that you don't need it,

you will say that you don't need it. but countries like i think i can tell, don't tell you about buying stuff. we need it very badly in the neighborhood, or least, and sage cash with, with the problem. amongst many things, there is one element engaged mirror that is this very heavily. historically because of people the territory, but it also provides a little more security to anyone who controls it. i think it was in fact most because in sensitivity to pakistan, security concerns and it's, i'm about need to have ghana, stan as its own buffer his own against india, that lat your predecessors to, you know, support the more jacket in against the soviets in afghanistan. in hindsight, do you think that was a wise decision given that everything that followed from that bush, are you going to be able to do, frankly, you, she said before that it was considered by the british as
