ah ah, sounds parliament he likes to bounce to reef to replace the iran con is prime minister. after thousands of the ousted leaders, supporters took to the street to protest his removal from power and watch corners called us back to you as president biden up. the pressure on new delhi against support in russia during a virtual summit with india's prime minister, rush is safe here to make last ditch attempts to evacuate its remaining radical trips from mario pole. but the don't pass city now almost completely under russian control. we report from inside the partisan parting here was especially ferocious put these at least over. now people are

once again there was streets used as, as human shields with hello and welcome. this is anti international with the latest news that date is good to happy with us. now austria's chancellor has stressed the importance of safe humanitarian corridor with inside ukraine, which should be upheld by russia. coney hammer made to be his statement during a media briefing following talks with president putin in moscow, is the 1st visit of an e you, leader to russia. since the conflict and ukraine routed in late february. meanwhile, the head of the don, yes, peoples republic has declared an intensification of military action in dumbass in order to speed up an end to the fighting. as he noticed that drawing out the conflict affecting civilians, stuck in the crossfire o pakistan's, parliament has elected a new prime minister, shabba sharif, who's being called

a western friendly politician. the boat comes off, the 10s of thousands took to the streets across pakistan to protest the ousting of populace leda and ran con ah, the parliament held a vote of no confidence on saturday against cob. following weeks of political stand off with opponents criticizing his economic and foreign policies. however, con insists the motion against him was rooted in a us bank's conspiracy. he's also said he won't recognize the legitimacy of his replacement. the u. s. has denied the allegations of having interfered and emotionally gates calling saying it respect pakistan's rule of law. but some of his supporters suspect still possess bunker. som pakistan, legitimate government,

has been removed after us interference all the institutions, including the judiciary, assisted in this, those same thieves and looters have been imposed on us again. i'm making you de, paula. so boldly j. now light on we don't want now hopes to and our children now struggling like how we did. we want to tell the hell would this is not a democratic way to end to government do. what does america think they will bias audio, but that won't happen. everyone should trace their voice against the decision. might mondays vote in pakistan's. parliament went ahead without any of him. ron cons. lawmakers who resigned in protest over his ouster, i discussed the legitimacy of the countries me prime minister with autism on a boy co who interviewed con, ahead of his recent visit to moscow. to the latest developments on pakistan. well, the shipper sharif, as we know, has been appointed as prime minister, however,

ahead of the votes, all of console makers resigned on mass and protest of the proceedings. so just how legitimate is this new prime minister in your eyes? well, i'm not there back assigning supreme court then it's, it's hard to, to gauge at this point. but as you pointed out before it comes up to weeks and weeks of political infighting the new into rem prime minister because i put it until the next election. so i think that we translated either at the end of this year or perhaps early next year. he will be in power for a couple of months, but he comes from a very rich family. he is a younger brother. oh, no bus sharif who served as a sense permanent to 3 times, was out of it ousted once. and then he also had the corruption charges pressed against him before and he's now residing in london and from where he remains involved in pakistan, his internal politics,

his younger brother is set to be of similar persuasion. i wouldn't describe him necessarily as distinctly pro western i think pakistani, pull to policy at this point of time is more or less multi doctoral. it's very, very closely tied to china and perhaps it will stay that way. but whether or not this would bring in and to the in fighting political and fighting. we are yet to see because there speculations that, for example, back to sounds corruption, a bureau, a may bring some charges against the new prime minister. and it also remains to be seen what the army thinks about him, because traditionally the os family has had this somewhat contested relationship with the army. and as the saying goes, there many countries does have an army, but there's only $11.00 army that has a state, and this is pakistan because the role of pat is military in the, in the politics of the country has always been pretty substantial. i remember not so long ago watching your interview with a miranda on fantastic interview,

of course. so you probably have a better insight into the guy and his character, his personality. it looks like he's going to fight this. absolutely. there is no doubt about it as you've already shown, the videos of enormous crowds that call us in as momma by then some other cities. he has a lot of popular support. can you describe him as a populous politician? i would slightly disagree. i think he's popular and he has invested a lot in both in his capacity as prime minister and before that in the benefiting the poor and in the country and trying to provide social safety net. but he's already said that he's going to fire till the and then he's likely to remain a formidable force in, in the opposition. and perhaps we'll run in the next elections as well. pakistan is a democracy, but there are, there are so many actors. they're both in parliament, the supreme court, the military, the intelligence,

and there are also numerous accusations of foreign meddling. abraham himself said that his political faith or the current political faith is the result of a 4 in aided coo. and he specifically accused the united states. uh, madeline cavan mentioned one specific official, donald lee who is assistant secretary of state in charge of. busy south and central asian affairs, a man who's been, was work the law in our region. and that a lots and lots of speculations that this ousting of enron has a lot to do with pakistan. making its foreign policy far more multi vectors and trying not to distance itself from the united states. they still are in favor of strong ties with america, but all branching out to china, russia and the rest. as you mentioned, i had a chance to interview him last month,

and i hope we can run the one of the eclipse from that interview. let me just go back in history. when the cold war was, you know, ravaging the whole of the, the world, the world was divided into blocks. like a son moved into the united states. we became part of the block in the cold war with the u. s. india actually stared neutral, but it was very close to the soviets. now, when i look back, i think initially august and needed help because of when we became independent, we way bob rushed. the millions of refugees and bug is done. we needed help. but you know, beyond 10 years or so, we shouldn't then be non aligned, independent country. us stood on feet, not rely on a we became part of a blog because we got for an aide. when you look back for a nate as a curse for a country, because you do not fix your systems, you do not raise your revenue,

you don't increase your export. you rely on hand out and it stops a country evolving and developing and becoming self reliant. so the world being divided into cold war blocks and bug a sun becoming part of a block. when you look back, it stopped us from developing as a country. it does seem as though emron cons popularity is c, like with the west really did you turn after he came to moscow in february and met with president peterson. i suppose it went downhill even before that and he himself had is pretty open about it. he said that it was important for him, for pakistan to have an independent and multi vector on foreign policy, which includes ties with china, ties with russia, a joint attempt to do something about afghanistan. he was very,

very passionate about it. and he was also very open that packet sounds reliance on the united states and, you know, cost pakistan a lot and gave very little, i'm in, it's not the secret that they americans to centrally look the way in and allowed pakistan to develop a nuclear bomb. in return for pakistan is support for the arming of mcgahey the in, in, in afghanistan during the, this soviet campaign there. and from then on pakistan to play the very active role in the american lead to war on terror. but the men ha, tens of thousands of dad for pakistani, lost a lot of lost revenues. a lot of last infrastructure. and when i was in pakistan last time, you know, with the questions that many people and analyst and officials are asking. and you know, it's sort of a rhetorical question, but they're essentially saying that we've done a lot for america,

but what has america done for us? and then not too many eloquent answers to that question. it's ultimately about, you know, how lobel security is organized and whether there is one country that decides everything or whether, you know, some sort of compromise or a certain arrangement could be achieved as a result of original consensus. and iran han has been a pakistan as well as many other regional players have been very, very open and our desire to finally bring peace to eurasia, which means developing economic ties with each other. and with afghanistan, one which i think americans were not particularly excited about, and you know, that both russia and i have to say many people in asia in south asia believe that the current events in ukraine is not just the, you know, bilateral russian ukrainian struggle. they're part of a much bigger struggle for, you know, more multi polar world or something that allows for peace and stability,

not the only on the american terms, but, you know, bringing all the actors and all the decision decision maker and joe biden has tried and apparently failed to persuade india to cancel its important russian oil. that's according to the white house following an online summit between the us president of india's prime minister, new delhi is coming on the increasing criticism from some western countries over its refusal to move against russia. they are the largest democracy in the world. we have a strong defense relationship with them. we obviously would prefer that india move away from the long term history of non alignment, g 77, partnership with russia. well, the worst meeting between indian prime minister and not in the u. s. a. today is a contentious issues played. america has been trying to put furniture

on new daily to one. the students itself, from school with rich india has started good relationship strategy partnership, india. eliza moscow for its weapons and arms. how the supplies of arms come from most for india. and this is something america would like to change. we believe that is not in their best interest to continue to invest in russia equipment. and our requirement going forward is that they downscale types of equipment that they're investing in and look to brush more in the types of things that will make us continue to be compatible from the defense policy of india. the other issue which the u. s. fines didn't use is in the us a discounted prices ever since the ukraine crisis.

india has shown your geology or the green issue and the united nations and from war that was before the united nations against russia. india also is not going to budge under any there show which these guys are, which tries to change the relationship, the strategic independence in your house, being between russia and the u. s. historically, especially in the last 35 years when india drive into it's relationship with the u. s. it looks like one of the issue started to us is likely to raise is that in the us standard of democracy? has it already in the last few years. but this is nothing new. india has

mindy, a fair amount off, john spit in c and accountability across it's institutions. india has also being forthright a needs affairs, both nationally and internationally. and yet we have seen it was in spencer. moldy in the power american media and american institutions have be unfit to india. fair fighting rages on inside the city of mario pulling it on. yes, republic with the russian military, st. kia has been trying to pull out neo nazi as of battalion trips from the battle . russian antonius republic officials say most of mario paul is now in their hands . ukrainian president zalinski recently told the associated press to the city is that i quote, the heart of the war because the outcome of the battle could define upcoming peace

negotiations are senior correspondent, marin garcia, reports from the area. as you can see, we have been able to reach the waterfront here in the middle, almost the geographic moodle of mario bull. city rouge means the ukrainian pulses in the city itself have now been split into at least 2 parts. perhaps more because they're in the distance easily as of steel and, and works industrial complex which is where thousands of ukrainian nationalists are making their stand. we are, we don't want to walk out to the water 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 ports 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 and neighborhoods, 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 mary you. pl. all. but downtown and city center fighting here was especially ferocious. but these at least over now people. aw, once again. that in the streets, no longer hiding in basement. some of them with what possessions they have

left on cards, their apartments and houses bud. some buildings are more or less. okay . others, as you can see, i'll completely destroyed bun and on the verge of collapse. mere streets away now. or the there is, you know, the fighting the combat yet people here they that him so much as turn and local or flinch. uh, the sounds of explosions and godfather, wherever you go and liberated areas, todd and weary civilians pull cards, 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. he was he and i imagine they used us as human shields. those

national monsters would drive and tell residential neighborhoods 5 something very loud than run away before the return. fire came to that they used us and even took away our food here. it's the same story all over the city. the nationalists, who are predominantly from west than regions of ukraine, have always viewed the pro russian east of the country with disdain. oh, 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 lowered and the parents were too scared to complain when boot and spoke of genocide than ukraine 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. he's any

scholars. they told us, if we have to retreat room, what to city of the face of the earth, the national i sent this to us me back in 2014. i remember the national as fast to pay tenacity. it women in the kill and, and get fess called amount defenders. and one of them turned around and told her who sadly came here to defend jesus with come to make mincemeat out of v. and that's what they're doing now. where i'd gazda of our tea from mario bull, racism, and abuse that was amnesty international has the keys, poland, or ben last year's migrant crisis on the bell of re border. there was scruples who noted was those hypocrisy it is arbitrary detention and forced sedation of those asylum seekers while now welcoming in more than 2 and a half 1000000 ukrainians with open arms. polish authorities have arbitrarily detained nearly 2000 asylum seekers crossed into country from bella. ruth,

in 2021 and subjected many of them to abuse. including strip searches in unsanitary overcrowded facilities. and in some cases, even to forcible sedation and tapering, the behavior of the polish authorities smacks of racism and hypocrisy. poland must urgently extend its marble compassion for those entering the country from ukraine to all those crossing its borders to seek safety. the border crisis with by the root peak in november of thousands of migrants and refugees tried to reach the e. u. 3 poland was brought in a state of emergency and deployed more than 12000 troops to prevent the crossings claiming the arrivals threatened national security. political authorities also long denied any media or even humanitarian access to those on the frontier. despite the freezing temperatures and several so called areas of exclusion remain in place to this day, the poland is not alone in its to face to approach the international community has

rushed to help you when you migrate to raise the billions of dollars in a while, ignoring other refugees, politicians on celebrities raised about $11000000000.00 and a recent international drive called stand up for ukraine. the organizers say that more than $4000000.00 ukrainian refugees will receive funding from the event. it's an outpouring of support. unlike what's been seen regarding migrating from warsaw nations in the middle east that you went refugee agency drew attention to the space, nationals from water in syria. and a recent report saying that last year it was still less than half of the funding needed to help them. we heard from syrian sees both house against the west, the parent double standard, the regard to best situation as they struggled to survive. 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. these ukrainian refugee got a selfie with president biden, while about 3500000 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, 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. rog, by the us and allies, nearly 400000 syrian civilians have been killed while the u. s. is only accepted nearly 25000 syrian refugees, many accredited refugees rela,

we'll wish to stay in europe, closure their homes. but we've also will walk um 100000 ukrainians, united states where the focus on re united family sh. but why is it because ukrainians look european, you know, this is a relatively civilized, relatively european. they look like any european family that you would live next door to. this is not a developing fad. 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 us 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? well, let's discuss this further. now with don cavallo,

human and labor rights lawyer, thank you for joining us on the program is good to see. now that you did the right see flag was source treatments of middle east asylum seekers on the border. yeah, they're absolutely right, and it's not just poland, it's europe in the united states. there's been this double standard in regards to ukrainian refugees who are, you know, are universally welcome and others, particularly from africa or haiti, or latin america who countries are trying to keep out. in fact, biden is deported a record number of patients from the united states. i do think poland has questions to answer from a humanitarian law perspective for its mash math, pushed back sedation and arbitrary detentions on the bell. every border. of course, countries have an obligation to welcome migrants,

particularly if they're seeking asylum. people have a right to apply for asylum and nearly every covenant human rights government, international covenant that you can think of has providers that prevent in, prohibit discrimination based on national origin next to the religion, et cetera. and so, you know, clearly poland who's taking in ukrainians, but keeping others out based on again, their national origin of necessity. that would be in clear violation of numerous covenants. the poland is a party to warsaw is welcoming almost 3600000 refugees from ukraine. is this about something more than to the desire to help? do you think? i think yes, i mean, i think it is about racism. it's about is you showed in your presentation about

welcoming people who look like us. i think it's also, of course, part of the campaign against russia. you know, again, because russia is the one that's invaded, they feel they are the moral high ground here as opposed to in the case of syria words, the west that clearly was behind the war. there are yemen, you know, where the west is backing saudi arabia in a much more brutal war war than we're seeing in syria. and yet we don't even hear about that. and we don't hear about refugees from their being welcomed anywhere. so yeah, i mean, this is all very political how this is being treated. poland, deputy premier says that they treat ukrainian differently because they are culturally closer than middle east refugees. does that claim stand up to scrutiny in your opinion? well no, because of course, you know, there's muslims that live in poland. now these are all mall tie ethnic societies in

europe that who have had muslims for many, many years. there's been a lot of, you know, cross pollen ization for lack of a better term between the muslim world in the christian world. if you want to call that call europe, that are over centuries, you know, so to simply say, oh, you know, these folks have a similar culture, a similar culture to whom, you know, one asked asked that thank a valid human and labor rights lawyer may. thanks for your time, he appreciate it. thank you. thank you very much. and thank you for keeping his company here in asi international. as always, you'll find plenty monet's, debate and analysis on our website, r. c dot com. move

. when i was showing wrong, when old rules just don't hold any rules yet to shape out. disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well to part, we choose to look for common ground. oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? high selection, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere?

direct. what is true? wharf is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. n b. c. news reports u. s. intelligence agencies have been deliberately lawn, brain foamy stories about the one ukraine, through the media. those of us who have watch carefully the conflict suspected this all along. when you're losing an argument or a war, the 1st line of defense is to lie in needs to come to the russians state total narrative. i've.
