a ga, a a zack is ations of rushes, involvement, and the killing of civilians, ukraine's boot ship calling the incident a staged russian at ford edge place. it's a big to with mario posting. they've now taken a full control of the local port correspondent that is on the ground tanks rolling to assault the final stronghold of ukrainian radical trip with the opec group of oil like sporting countries. the one that you of a potentially was to have a supply shock. if brussels intensifies its sanctions against russia.

ah, hello and welcome. this is awesome international with the latest news headlines, president putin has dismissed the allegations of a civilian massacre in boucher calling them fake during a media conference with his bell russian counterpart. because when you go to watch it, when i talk to my western colleagues about boucher, i asked them if they saw what happened in rocca did they see how that syrian city was completely destroyed by american aircraft? and there really were a lot of corpses there decomposing for months, but nobody seemed to care about it. and nobody recalled it. just like they don't recall the hundreds of peaceful civilians killed of ghana stem when a single strike would kill hundreds of people. but nobody talked about it, but they sure did talk about all the staged provocations in syria,

like the imitation of chemical weapons used by the government. and later it turned out that it was all fake, just like boucher really why report and statement is the most recent reaction from moscow to the situation around the quinn and town of butcher and key of accusations that earlier russia's defense ministry already called at provocation. and a disturbing v do, apparently showing dead bodies lined on the streets of butcher, that key of presented as the unique evidence to atrocities committed. they said by the russian army a fake. meanwhile, germany already says that the west is about to increase already imposed sanctions against russia, following boucher again. and the country's media seems to be in his terry over what they think happened there and voices calling on punishment for war crimes. they talking about russia, of course, total embargo on russia's energy and more weapons to ukraine, allowed a louder every day and all that before any independent investigation into what

exactly happened. while it seems that all the conclusions have already been made and russia is already being punished right now, including economically, some people talk about benito fact check in and proper investigation. here is germany's foreign minister. we have massive indications of war crimes in the, in the courts will have to decide. but for, for us, it is central to secure all evidence. while some already investigating and turkish outlet has just recently published the results of their research to report the debunk the new york times report which has been widely used recently to push accusations of atrocities in boucher onto moscow. the thing is that new york times presented the images from max or satellites, claiming it was taking between march 9th and 11th. but the investigators apparently proved that on these particular days, these particular satellites were covered in a different area. and they proved that using the sun called program, it is

a special program that can clearly show that. and another image presented also by new york times. also showing dead bodies lie on the streets claim to be taken on february 28th. but again, the investigators proved that it was taken much later on april, the 1st and day after the mayor of a butcher officially confirmed and his vizier message posted on social media that the russian army had already left the town. so there is still more questions than answers, and it is clear, it seems for everybody now that it should be investigated exactly what happened in the battle for the dorm varsity of mary, pleasant and its final stage with russian lead force is saying they've now fully re taken the local pose, the remaining ukrainian radical trips are reportedly hold up inside the as well. still factory with russian tanks now moving in for decisive strike on the strong

desire. he's more against the report when the thing this several delivery of the other one does look like, which is the last frontier before the duffel. don't stop with nationalists of may there start with some that sort of follow. besides, these buildings are amongst the last still held by ukrainian nationalists on the east bank of mario po, outside the industrial zone. there also a nest of radical nationalists, snipers, and machine guns. hooley tanks could reliably dislodge

these buildings, fortunately, are devoid of civilians. more than a 100 still held as human shields by nationalists have taken refuge in a nearby school school number 56. the tanks are careful not for far at it. the people inside are among the last held hostage by ukrainian nationalists. if you were speaking about the situation in mary, you, par, the residential parts of the city have been liberated, some individual pockets of resistance remain, such as sleepers and other troops hiding in basements and multi story buildings. but it isn't over yet. fierce combat, most of its close quarters still rages across mario pl. unlike regular ukrainian military troops in the city who have surrendered in their hundreds, the nationalists show no such eagerness to end this. ah

oh, with he'll be back with it. with all of a you can see the other guy which these time he is replacing this once withdrawing to the re on resupply and take a short break that's from here. those are then with the liberation of the last few residential areas. still held by radicals. a new phase will begin a full out assault on the vast as of steel and iron works complex and they're, the nationalists will have no more civilians. to hide behind. more,

i'd guess the of r t for mario bull. the pentagon says it cannot confirm allegations of chemical weapons use in mario paul, of the as of neo nazi forces inside the city, accused russia of attacking them with some sort of chemical agents with at least 3 people allegedly hospitalized. as a result, care defense ministry safe is trying to verify this information while the russian military has not commented on the claims the opec group of oil exporting countries have warned the european union of a potentially worst of a supply shock. if the e u intensifies it sanctions against russia, we could potentially see the loss of more than $7000000.00 barrels per day of russian oil and other liquids. exports resulting from current and future sanctions or other voluntary actions. considering the current demand outlook, it would be nearly impossible to replace a loss in volumes of this magnitude. in the u. k,

a new study from the sense of economic found business research stays the cost of living crisis has well in truly arrived in the country. and then to predict the biggest dev afforded living standards since the 1st date it was recorded 70 years ago. meanwhile, a member luxembourg has warned that the new package of sanctions currently being discussed within the union would heavily impact germany's industry and later spread across europe. ortho and russia, analysts multi macaulay, believe some countries will not be scrambling to hold oil ahead of the eminence. economic crisis will be you can in fact say no future investment, financial investment in russia that's very weak and so on. but what they are banking on, what's your opinion? and americans are bank on that reduced organ gas revenues from russia, which would result from the european union by less oil and gas from russia. this will gradually have such an impact on russia that it will, in fact,

reduces activities in ukraine and perhaps even withdraw from ukraine. because at present russia he said exporting more gas, more or to europe than ever before. because the europeans want to build up preserves, they opec. of course, russia is a major player in the bank. the americans devoss the saudis to increase are good. and they basically said no because relations in saudi arabia and united states of our present. but the own situation is not seen by most europeans has really a critical point because they have been estimates by the end of the year because of increased output wide world. prices will come down to about $900.00, but they can cause an interest in increasing prices as because it is

a cartel. and therefore one has to listen to what they have to say. and it would mean that every country now will try to get as much all as possible in the short term. in case there are no shortages literal this year as fresh for lance over the ukrainian presidents recently televised speech to greek parliament, which included an address from as of neo nazis. as these were man cause of the pause from a historically greek village in side. don bass, with reaction from locals. the village of stella is located about 50 kilometers from donetta. it's known as a regional center for greek culture, where locals still honor their ancestors traditions. ship your order on the 1st we just had a showcase room. but since 2001, it's become a hall, greek museum. all the exhibits are household items by greeks and steel. many of them are hand made. over the last 8 years of the crane civil war,

stella saw a major economic decline duties for a line position. and many have opted for life elsewhere. despite the fact that troops were never stationed within the village boundaries, it's been shelled continuously by the ukrainian military. civilians have been killed, homes destroyed, and critical infrastructure damaged. the roof was damaged by shrapnel, but we received donations and managed to fix it this year. the greek flag on the roof remains damaged, though we'll restore everything when it becomes peaceful. here, we've seen who's been firing at us. it's the ukrainian army. it was very scary. locals were outraged when the korean prison zalinski appeared in greek parliament via video conference, along with 2 members of this old battalion and militant structure, accused of neo nazi affiliation and war crimes of by the united nations. or he,

russian troops have brought death and destruction to a place where ukrainians and greeks have enjoyed peace and prosperity for centuries . moreover, russia has begun to porting people from the south of ukraine door. it's a matter of days so on. and now i asked you to listen, not only to me who is far from marry you paul, but also to these 2 defenders of mary you, paul, who are there right now? that's the whole history as being erased the concentration camps have been forgotten. everything is being forgotten, but we know about it. we learned this history, we remember it, but ukraine has a completely different history. one that has beneficial to them. how is it possible to accept that we're not against the ukraine, but there should not have been this new emergence of nazis. some of the lesson, the worst thing was the abruptness. it could have been quite for a few days and then there was shelling all of a sudden. we don't know why there's no military personnel in our town. there's economic hardship here. we have to survive the residence, so the village of still,

i've been living on the front line for the last 8 years. and so i've been visiting the locals for all this time as well. and each time i've never seen any soldiers over the nest people's republic army here, they've always been ha, located on the outskirts of the village. nevertheless, this place has been continuously sheltered. many people civilians have been killed as the result or we can still hear the sounds of shelling from far away, but so low calls hope that all of this will end very soon and they will get a chance to finally rebuild the place of birth. remark, author of archie stiller, don't ask people's republic. ah, ukraine's parliament has praised the vandalism of berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought nazis during world war 2. st. here now agrees with the spray painted

graffiti. the russians are, quote, the real fascists. you claims parliament with reference to phrases scrolled on the, on the memorial saying the ukrainian blood is on rushes hands, and putin is starlen. the russian embassy and berlin has requested germany's foreign ministry to make sure there's a swift response to the vandalism, including that the perpetrators be held responsible for the damage. here's some of the latest footage of a soviet era war. monuments being torn down inside ukraine has public anger against russia, spills over, seemingly anything and everything connected to the country is now being haunted by ukrainians, including monuments to legendary russian writers like alexander pushkin. meanwhile, russian and bell of russian officials were not allowed to attend a ceremony in germany last weekend. commemorating allied forces liberation of the book involved the nazi concentration camp. the museums administration said it took the measure because of russia's current military operation and ukraine. reparation

. 77th anniversary was walked on sunday. the concentration camp was freed by the u . s. army towards the end of world war 2, acting on information supplied by polish and soviet prisoners. soviet military liberated numerous concentration camps during the war, including the biggest comes my neck and our weights. well as people from around the world, what they know about the allies liberation of the nazi concentration camps. the earlier it was the allied forces, the us, france, britain, in the soviet union, the red army liberated the concentration camps, primarily, i guess maybe perhaps the americans a little bit. the soviet army was held by lindley, there's no way that the british american army could have liberate the concentration camps without also having an army attacking from the east. at the same time. i think that i mean like, and then they will be in liberated with come forms with them maybe the ration from

they. i'm not sure some of the can. 4 live right by russians. others primary kids found by british. it's important to know these fact what happened and it's important to be aware that for many different people participated not news, i'm afraid, because in 2015, shortly after the events in ukraine, the year after the events, a new kind of 2014 the allies, the western the western powers did not invite and president putin to the commemoration of the liberation of outfits. the fact that the russians who, of course, the soviets, obviously, we're the ones who liberated auschwitz, the fact that they weren't out. it went invited to that in 2015, shows the extent of the revisionism which the western powers are determined to bring about concerning the history of the 2nd world war. no, for many decades now,

they have energetically pushed the idea that in fact of the war, the 2nd world war was between western democracy and totalitarianism. i which term they mean to blow the distinctions between the nazi regime and the soviet regime. and in doing this, they of course reduce and indeed in some cases, almost to nothing. the role played by the soviets, which to be honest, is largely, i would say not known about in the west. i mean, you've just shown reports from people all over the world who all seem to know about the red army liberating the camps. but i can assure you find plenty of people who had no idea at all at the soviet army who was even involved. so there's nothing new really and a in a way i think that this decision is petulant and childish, but it's also an expression, really of the impotence, i think of the west in the face of the russian invasion of ukraine. i now,

so i top story the situation over ukraine president putin has dismissed the allegations of a civilian masika in boucher calling. been fake, wes, bring in a guest to discuss this with dr. george samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. thank you very much for joining us on the program. now at the dish doctor family, germany is foreign minister has stressed the him has now stressed the importance of scrutinizing all evidence of alleged war crimes in future. despite the earlier being very blatant about putting the blame on russia, does it look like there's been a u turn herron's moscow's position is now being seriously considered in europe. and how did that happen if i i don't think there's been any serious change. i think it's more of a kind of a political move. i think the west really has always been wedded to the idea of war crimes. it makes liberal feel good about themselves. it makes the west

feel very good about it. so always some seberio. we don't commit crimes day these horrible russians, they commit war crime. it's a tried and true method. they did this all the time in the balkans, constantly discovering war crime that they were always pinned on the the demon of the, which was that they tried this stuff in iraq. they tried this stuff on libya . so it's something that, you know, it's a go to weapon for the west. it was always just a matter of time before they would come up with this. despite these very serious allegations against russia, president putin spoke quite confidently that the events in boucher was staged. how do you think the international community should go about getting to the bottom of their 20? well, they should have an impartial investigation, which means that you would have to have investigators from all over the world of

investigators, from india, investigated from china to balance the west and investigators. but that's what should happen. but of course, that's not what's going to happen. what's going to happen is that there will be investigative from scotland yard from m, i 6 c i a s, b i the, not the from germany, the, the, they quote, crime scene and quote, will be secured by the ukrainian or artist. and they will control the resignation and you goes they will publish their reports in russia committed war crimes. 2 and we have evidence that the russian leaders all the way to adopt a lot of himself were involved in this crime. it'll be, of course, the complete you worthless investigation. but that's the way, unfortunately, that they don't always play this game. considering the latest round, all the sanctions were tied in with the events in boots,

which still haven't been properly investigated, as we know. and how legitimate all the sanctions in the 1st place. well, none of the sanctions has been a sanctions. i have no legitimacy whatsoever unless they are authorized by the united nations security council. these old unilateral moves by the western house. but in this case, what so obnoxious is that in terms of hard evidence of war crimes, there's only so much evidence of the war grants committed by ukrainian forces. we've all seen footage. busy of prisoners of war being tortured and executed a point blank range, and no such evidence as a russian walk, right? all of these, what stage of scenes with bodies being nicely laid out here,

basically we don't know anything about who these people are. you know, what was the circumstances of that day? indeed, there are questions just looking at the footage with some of them. and then, you know, we already saw that number of the dead bodies had the, the white handkerchiefs, which is usually a sign of people who are not ill disposed towards the russians. so therefore, it would be very strange for russians to execute people who are well disposed towards them. the timeline of course, makes no sense. you know, when we thought about our bodies was supposedly lying there for 3 weeks. nobody claim the family and the relative claim. these are all these, no signs of decomposition on the one is no sign of any animals, you know, eating these bodies. so the, the actual story itself makes no sense why the, as i say, the evidence of ukrainian right. is that, i mean it's, it's something you know, is even attempting to deny. and, you know,

ukraine is supposed to be and they, those great out. whereas the russians supposed to have committed the war crimes, they're the ones subjected to these sanctions at the pin code in the west, the top russian officials, including vladimir putin, go on trial over events in ukraine. but as you would say, in considering all the documents, the trustees we think committed by ukrainian force is why on the calls for any of them to stand trial. well, because the west thinks that they can control the, the narrative better through these trials. so they think that what they're going to do is collect some evidence and then have some kind of a, a phony trial, maybe at the international criminal court. maybe they'll set up an ad hoc or like the international criminal tribunal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. and then no control every single bit of the trial. the prosecutors. busy will be for major countries, all the evidence will be presented just from that collected from nato countries.

and they think that that's going to fly in the media. and it probably will. i mean, as far as the official western media concerned, you know, they'll buy into any evidence to see how they buy into evidence like the and the 17 shoot down story. go buy into it. but of course, ukraine, you have to maintain the narrative, you grain a gallon, ally, and therefore you have to just suppress whole evidence of the war crime. so you just have to keep that narrative go, you have to give the are, these are the bad guys. and these are the good guys, you know, what the west is very good at is winning propaganda was. it's not surprising. they control most of the, of the media. but in fact, all of the big media outlets in the world will the, cnn, bbc, you guys, guardian, and so on. and they also control the social media,

so they can always win the propaganda war. then also going to winning actual talk to george samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. many thanks, phil. tommy, appreciate it. thank you very much. i will be celebrating the international day of human space flights name russia. as cosmo takes day. i put the child marked 61 years since your it guy went above and beyond, when a man had to come before corrine's journey to the stars on board. the vall talk spacecraft lasted for 108 minutes during the launch. he said, be a famous phrase pie. yeah, holly whole, let's go. that later became a symbol of a new era in the history of mankind ongoing deguerin's legacy vladimir putin. his stress that russia is currently at the forefront of space exploration. he also announced a restart of the country lunar program with a planned unmanned landing on the moon few later this year.

however, there she is. celebrations of the garden slides have been overshadowed by the west's apparent attempts to cancel the 1st man in space himself. and the political fallout over the ukraine conflict last month, the us foundation changed the name of this event from your res night to just a celebration of space. we spoke to a former soviet diplomats who met you were to go right off the historic flight. andre vill oh sais the west and attempts to cancel the cosmo achievements shameful . no edible now. yeah. but again yesenia, bradley, he was at the end of november 1961 half a year after eureka gary made his spaceflight. i was summoned by the us ambassador to india and told that i was to work as a translator for gar garden during his visit there. it was quite a surprise for me for me travelling in the same car with him like sitting next to churchill starlen or roosevelt campbell, that man sitting next to the greatest man on earth. at that moment. we have been together from dusk till dawn for 10 days. what struck me maybe not at that time, but years later was the fact that he was a man who you immediately felt like trusting. he was kind and easy to talk to. he

wasn't pretending it was his true nature, his other trade left me astonished with his self control. he had to speak of 40 or 45 meetings during those 10 days. he was managed to be himself an open and absolutely calm person. he always knew what to say, that let's just go from history to the present after the beginning of the ukraine conflicted to magic in the news that hearing gangs name had been removed from the u . s. event dedicated to the exploration of space. gary was the factor cancelled as the world's 1st cotton, not as a diplomat how appropriate to think. they says what does that also afford beer, eudora? this roster phobia to was not only the current russian government but also towards russian culture and russian and soviet scientific achievements is a damaging and ridiculous trend is especially typical for the united states. we're taking some very amusing forms as like an evil teenager who's willing to harm his own parents. we're seeing this in their attempts to cancel russian writers concerts . it looks stupid. i've been thinking about it. you know,

i've been watching the series called the crown telling the story of the british royal family is well filmed, the act as a really good one episode left me puzzled. he was dedicated to the late prince phillips interest. he was very fond of space. when i started watching that episode, i thought they would show gardens visit to london. we know that he was welcomed by the queen and they had dinner. there were huge crowds there, but the whole episode was dedicated only to the american astronauts and their moon landing. it didn't say a word about god goren. and i look for a strange and even pathetic. as i explained to my story, to be found on the website, archie dot com in, ah, ah ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, a ah ah, with mm. welcome to the card. when it comes to the russian target relationship, one place that immediately comes to mind is.
