[000:00:00;00] a, a accusations of rushes, involvement in the killing of the video of ukraine's boot ship, calling the incident a staged russian that forces edge, closer to victory, and the city of mario posting. they now taken a full control of the local port. o correspondent is on the ground tanks rolling to a stop, the final stronghold of ukrainian radical troops with the opec group of oil like sporting factories, one the other potentially was to have a supply shock. if brussels intensifies its sanctions against russia,

with hello and welcome, this is our see international. with the latest news headlines, our president putin has dismissed the allegations of a civilian massacre in boucher calling them fake during a media conference with his bell russian counterpart. you go down, you go to butcher. when i talked 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 enough ghana stem when a single strike would kill hundreds of people. but nobody talked about it, but they sure did talk about all the stage to 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 bull chain, key of accusations that earlier russia's defense ministry already called provocation . and a disturbing v do. apparently showing dead bodies lying on the streets of butcher, but 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 countries 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, louder and 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 been punished right now, including economically, some people talk about benito, fact checking and proper investigation. here is germany. 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 i already investigated 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 butcher onto moscow. the thing is that new york times presented 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, claims to be taken on february 28th. but again, the investigators proved that it was taken much later on april, the 1st 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 bath over the dorm varsity of mary paul is entered. 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 holders aren't. he's more against the reports when the thing

a delivery of the other was industrial complex, which is the last frontier before the dust. he'll go with nationalists of may. there start with some that far follow, besides these buildings are amongst the lost still held by ukrainian nationalists on the east bank of mary opal outside the industrial zone. there also a nest of radical nationalist snipers and machine gunners. 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. from if you were speaking about the situation in mary u. 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. fears combat, most of its close quarters still rages across mario bo, unlike regular ukrainian military troops in the city who have surrendered in their hundreds. the nationalists show no such eagerness to end this

with o via with . he'll be back with it. with how quickly. as you can see, the lighting which these time is replacing. this one's withdrawing to the re on resupplied take a short break that's in 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 here, the defense ministry size is trying to verify this information while the russian military has not commented on the claims the opec group of oil export in countries have warned the european union of a potentially worst of a supply shock. if you intensifies its 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 center for economic found business with 30 days the cost of

living crisis has well and truly arrived in the country and said to predict the biggest of 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 to spread across europe. ortho and russia, analysts mostly mccauley, believe some countries will not be scrambling to hold oil ahead of the imminent 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 bank on. what's your opinion and americans are bank on that reduced organ gas revenues from russia, which was result from the european union by less or 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 that ever before. because the europeans want to build up preserves, they opec. of course, russia is a major player and make the american devoss the saudis to increase are good. and they basically said no, because relations in saudi arabia and united states of a sour impression that the own situation is not seen by most europeans has really legal point because they have been estimates. and by the end of the year, because of increased output throughout the world, wow, pressure will come down to about $90.00. but opec of course, has an interest in increasing prices. and because it's 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 of unsure to just later on this year. as fresh for lance over the ukranian presidents recently televised speech to greek parliament, which included an address from as of neo nazis. are these women cause or if the pause from a historically greek village inside 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. if you would have a 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. still

a 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 is 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 ukranian army. it was very scary. locals were outraged when the korean president zalinski appeared in greek parliament via video conference, along with 2 members of this. all battalion and militant structure accused of neo nazi affiliation and war. crimes by the united nations or hickey 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 is 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? so most asthma, 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 shelled that many people civilians have been killed as the result for we can still hear the sounds of shelling her 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 their place of birth. remark author of r t. stewart. don't ask people's republic. ah, ukraine's parliament has praised the vandalism of a berlin memorial to soviet troops who had fought nazis during world war 2. st. here now agrees with the spray painting graffiti. there 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 in 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 taunted by ukrainians, including monuments to legendary russian writers like alexander pushkin. meanwhile, russian on belive russian officials were not allowed to attend a ceremony in germany last weekend. commemorating allied forces liberation of the book involved and nazi concentration camp. the museums administration said it took the measure because of russia's current military operation and ukraine liberation

77th anniversary was walks 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. the soviet military liberated numerous concentration camps during the war, including the biggest comes my neck and our weights. will 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 deliver a the concentration camps without also having now me attacking from the east. at the same time. i think the american then they will be in liberated. the question comes form to where then maybe the ration from they, i'm not sure some of the can for

a live right by russians. americans stand by british. it's important to know these facts. 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 a president putin, to the commemorations 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 went out 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, 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 seemed 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 and the face of the russian invasion of ukraine hearing now. so

i top story the situation over ukraine president putin has dismissed the allegations of a civilian massacre in boucher calling. been fake, wes, bring it i guess 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. and now i'm a dish doctor. finally, germany is foreign minister has stressed the him has now stressed the importance of scrutinizing all evidence of alleged war crimes impeach despite the well, you're 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 it happen if so? i don't think there's been any serious change, i think is 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 liberals feel good about themselves. it makes the west feel very good about it. so always some seberio. we don't commit war crimes day.

these horrible russians, they commit war crime. it's a tried and true methods, they did this all the time in the balkans, constantly discovering war crime that they were always pinned on the demon of the watch. that was the stuff that they tried to 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 but quite confidently that the events in future was staged. how do you think the international community should go about getting to the bottom of this? well, they should do is of course have an impartial investigation, which means that you would have to have investigators from all over the world of investigators from india,

investigating from china to balance on 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 my sex cia at the i, the boom does not prove these from germany. this, they quote, a crime scene unquote will be secured by the ukrainian or artist, and they will control investigation. and if you course, they will publish their reports, a russian committed war crimes. and we have evidence that the russian leaders all the way to the top of it himself, were involved in this crime. it will be of course, a completely worthless investigation. but that's the way, unfortunately, that the native powers always play this game. considering the latest round to all the sanctions were tied in with the events in boucher which still haven't been properly investigated as we know. and how legitimate are the sanctions in the 1st

place? well none of the sanctions has been the gentleman. i mean, the sanctions, i have no legitimacy whatsoever unless they are authorized by the united nations, a unilateral moves by the western powers. but in this case, what so obnoxious is that in terms of hard evidence, a 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. all of these what stage of scenes when body is 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 were dead. you know, we already saw that number of the dead bodies have the, the white handkerchiefs, which is usually a sign of people who are not ill disposed towards the russians. so that would be very strange for russians to execute. people who are well disposed towards them. the timeline, of course, makes no sense. you know, we, we thought about how bodies were supposedly lying there for 3 weeks. nobody claim the family and the relative claim these, 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 nato's great. i. whereas the russians supposed to have committed the war crimes and then once subjected to these sanctions. there been cause in the west to top russian officials, including vladimir putin go on trial over events in ukraine. but as you 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 things that they can control the, the narrative better through these the trials. so they think that what they're going to do is collect some evidence and then have some kind of a, a phone, a trial, maybe at the international criminal court. maybe they'll set up an ad hoc cord like the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. and then they'll control every single bit of the trial. the prosecutors. busy will be nato countries, all the evidence will be presented just them collected on nato countries and they

think that that's going to fly in the media and it probably, well, i mean, as far as the, the official western media concern. yeah. they'll, they'll buy into any evidence we've seen how they buy into evidence like the 17 shoot story, the buy into it. but the ukraine, you have to maintain the narrative. will ukraine talk a little gallon allied and therefore you have to just suppressed hold evidence of the war crimes. so you just have to keep that american go, you have to get there. these are the bad guys, and these are the good guys. if you're what the west is very good as is winning propaganda was, it's not surprising. they control most of the the media outlets, but they all of the big media outlets in the world or the cnn bbc new guy, and daddy and, and so on. and they also control the social media, so they can always win the propaganda war. they're not so good at winning actual

was pal 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 flight known in russia as cosmo takes day. i put charles mark 61 years since you are a good guy, went above and beyond. when the man had gone before the gardens journey to the stars on board, the both dog spacecraft lost it for 108 minutes. during the launch he said be a famous phrase pie. you have a whole let's go. that later became a symbol of a new era in the history of mankind honoring the gardens 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, this year 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 flies. andre vill oh said the western attempts to cancel the cosmo achievement of shameful . no edible now. yeah. but again yesenia brantley. he was at the end of november 1961 half a year after year a gary made his space flight. 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 stolen or roosevelt campbell, that man sitting next to the greatest man on earth at the 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. 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,

the left me astonished with his self control. he had to speak of 40 or 45 meetings during those 10 days. he always managed to be himself an open and absolutely calm person. he always knew what to say. so let's just go from history to the present. after the beginning of the ukraine conflicted to merged in the news that you are a good guy and name had been removed from a u. s. event dedicated to the exploration of space guy was the fact to canceled the world's 1st cause. not as a diplomat how appropriate to think. they says, well, that would be a new story because it's rosa flu. the it was not only the current russian government but also tools russian culture and russian and soviet scientific achievement isn't damaging. and ridiculous. trend is especially typical for the united states where it's taking some very amusing forms. it's like an evil teenager who is willing to home his own parents with thing within their attempts to counsel russian writers concert. 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 as well. film the act is a really good one to said, let me puzzled, is dedicated to the late prince for its interest. he was very fond of space. when i started watching that episode, i thought they would show gallagher and visit to london. we know that he was welcomed by the queen and they had been a huge crowd there. but the whole episode was dedicated only to the american astronauts and the moon landing it didn't say a word about garden. and that looks very strange and even pathetic. as always tend to my story to be found on our website or dot com. ah ah, the reading overshoot to bill it before the war has

a war the war could be but it has been motivated by the love that name will be a part of nato and european union a last from from the georgia about. mm with
