peter scott and worthy journalist from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. president putin has dismissed the allegations of russian war crimes in the ukrainian town of boucher calling them fate during a media conference with his beller russian counterparts. because then you go to, would you just 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 in afghanistan when a single strike would kill hundreds of people. but nobody talks about it, but they sure did talk about all the staged provocations in syria, like the imitation of chemical weapons use by the sat government. and later it turned out that it was all fake, just like boots. really, why we're putting

a statement is the most recent reaction from most go to the situation around the quinn and town of butcher and kids. accusations that earlier russia's defense ministry already called at 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 terrier 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 conclusion is,

have already been made and russia is already being punished right now, including economically, some peel talk about benito. fact checking 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 ross, it is central to secure all evidence in a while. so my already investigating a turkish outlet has just recently published the results of their research to report to the debunk the new york times report, which has been widely used recently to push accusations of atrocities in boca on to moscow. the thing is that new york times presented images from max our satellites, claiming it was taking between march 9th and 11th. but the investigators apparently proved that on these particular days, these particular satellites were covering 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 lying on the streets claimed to be taking on february 28th. but again, the investigators proved that it was taken much later on april the 1st a day after the mayor of a butcher officially confirmed in his v to your message posted on social media that to the russian army had already left the town. literally the rosy due to france, the honored community of butcher march 31st to will become history 1st city, and the entire territorial community as the day of liberation from russian occupants by the armed forces of ukraine. so there are still more questions than answers, and it is clear, it seems for everybody now that it should be investigated exactly what happened in boot camp. i think if 2 law abiding countries, the worst that we are supposed to be should stop is right. everything right away, not talk about massacres, sent in an objective team and say ok, what has happened? and we will say at the end and that the objective team say go in there and we can

have validation promotions on your credit to get this thing. okay, we agree on this to let the team give it's decision and, and that's for see specialist team will say ukraine is, did it or russians, did it already foreign ages from other countries did this, we don't know, but we have to have that objectivity. if you want to, to know exactly what happened, the fact that the west, all of a sudden identified the perpetrator with felt this analysis goes to fade that just shows that this is not curious. it was not me taking seriously. and unfortunately, i don't see at all the west backtracking on this that the west just using this as a pretext. and i think this is definitely an insult. to justice. meanwhile, president the lensky has said that the leader of the country's largest opposition party, victor midville choke has been captured. he was under house arrest, but report escaped after the conflict begun falling threats against him. mid richard was placed under house arrest back in 2021 accused of treason. he does deny

that the allegations, though, after the start of the conflicts his policy, was among a number of opposition parties whose activities were suspended under martial law. but since the lensky has offered to exchange mid bit choke for captive ukrainian soldiers with moscow yet, the comments on the proposal. meanwhile, battles for the don bus city of murray will continue to rage with around a 1000 ukraine. marines reported to have surrendered. the bulk of the fire thing is focused around the stall steel plants and some states had members of the nationalist of battalion have apparently been trying to escape the battle ground. as r. c rod goes the reports. ukrainian forces surrounded and merry. you will have begun to crack almost every day, more surrender. sometimes antis, squads and platoons. others shock off their uniforms and try to get out the skies the civilians. this is something that happens day and they out here in mario,

both civilians are apparent. civilians emerge usually in ones or twos. from the unlikeliest places they emerge. they claim to be civilians. but then their stories don't match. who they are. they seem, you know, very unlikely to the local fighters who, who are detained them, who arrest them. usually they are searched on the spot, sometimes stripped to check for bruises for bruises from rifle butts, as well as for bruises or mugs from heavy bullet proof vests. if you wear them for weeks on end, they leave marks invariably. with this always, this always happens. so they are taken away for questioning. and very often it is found that yes indeed, this was a fight to the russian side as lease and lease of those serve the nationalist battalion, such as as of battalion here is one such suspect she was found apparently

sneaking near nationalist position. you're going to lose that sound. she raised all manner of red flags, her behavior, her mannerisms, her clothes, her very speech, don't kill me, you lose your food. she told us very, very brave woman, emerging from the as of steel, industrial complex, which is under the nationalists. she is most likely fighters here tell us a sniper, the us off battalion, neo nazi battalion. they use a lot of women because women have a quality, generally speaking, of course, that it can be very patient. they can sit and watch through a school at the same intersection. for example, for many hours. this is something that you know, has been for a very, very long time. it only got worse as she told her story. it was full of holes and the inconsistencies. yes. but i don't have any registration that can't be true. yes, it can for 25 years. you haven't been registered anywhere. yes,

that's right. here are all my documents. i'm telling you you're going to lose that phone. it's not worth filming me. if i'm so if you need something boys and just give me a car please. where are you coming from? the morgue or the school from them are, but you just said you were coming from the school. i said i was going to find my sister. don't you try to confuse me? you won't be able to confuse me. trust me, everything's fine with my memory. enough red flags were raised to warrant detaining her. she was driven to a base for further questioning. there we met another man. it's story even more remarkable. another man with with with during questioning a huge number of images with fog news. boom,

navi civil last another civil lawyers. i'm with laurie. they're great. many with russian. a few gloria with little, with food because of the city. if it doesn't say your wife downloaded it, with my wife downloaded it, maybe it spam or something. there are many, many more who have been detained. hundreds and hundreds of similar individuals. and every day, more courses, they attempt to escape and circumvent. and mary, you pull this guy's the civilians. their priority now is not the glory of ukraine. the 3rd, right cool, the area and race,

but rather their own personal survival. more, i guess the a r t from mary you with anti russian sanctions over the ukraine, conflicts strengthening the world's top oil. producing nations have re some concerns. the warning for the e, you comes from the opec group, which says that europe could face unprecedented energy shortages. if it cuts off russian oil supplies. we could potentially see the loss. amone's $7000000.00 barrels per day of russian oil and other liquid exports resulting from current and future sanctions. are the voluntary actions. considering the current demand outlook, it would be nearly impossible to replace a loss in volumes of this magnitude. it comes in lights of concerns from luxembourg . the country has warned, impending sanctions currently been discussed by the union would heavily impacts germany's industry and led to the whole of europe. and as for the u. k, a report finds that the energy crisis is pushing inflation up towards 9 percent,

which will be the highest in 40 years. coupled with a forecasted dropping income, many u. k. households are expected to feel the pinch. and in germany, the head of the countries, the federal network agencies said in a recent interview that if russian gas supplies occurred, germany reserves will only last until autumn. this year we discussed the prospects of europe's future without russian energy supplies. with our panel economy's collapse, unemployment rises, supply chains is integrate. and from to get empty. germany will not be able to make up for this in the short term. and therefore, the only way is to actually keep importing russian energy. and should the government decide not to do that, then of course the government is shutting down the economy. so you're imposing

a tax on your society by moving from cheap gas to much more expensive gas. so this is a tax that all european will pay if this program the of the you and us concocting together will succeed. agenda is to destroy the dominic economy to get inflation high and to increase the dependency on on the us. especially the, the potential for the us to black mayor, germany whenever they want, then they do everything right. what they do and very aggressive politics. that is, identity driven and not good for the, for the german people. for the european people, you cannot run an economy like the europe, ian economy based on this faith based energy policy, you have to be grounded in reality. the united states has a limited capacity in terms of it, l. n,

g export. there are fixed number of liquid action facilities. the oil and gas industry will have to really up its production after having been told for the past year of the biden administration, that they are public enemy number lines. and they should have been treated with all ca, for regulatory barriers that prevent them from increasing production. so i don't see how the industry will respond to an administration that has been so anti oil and anti gas and anti fracking. they have not a clue how they will manage. this is just the way should be reality now already shows that these are strategy to do not work,

who are not thought grew and it will come to time when the people realize and this time will be very, very shocked me. especially when the, when the energy supply doesn't really doesn't last anymore when they need to reach change the anti program and return to rush are and other suppliers to get the gothic book. despite the stock warnings over its energy reserves, berlin is seeking ways of completely stopping energy imports from russia. since going to give up on gas in 2 years, independence from coal can be achieved the fastest by autumn. as far as oil is concerned, we intend to do that by the end of the year and gas by the summer of 2024. we are currently checking how to create the necessary conditions in order to speed up the process even more. germany currently holds 55 percent of its natural gas from russia. the berlin has acknowledged it will be difficult to rapidly remove russian energy sources from its supply chain. the u. s. and e u announced

a deal to boost l. n. g supplies to europe by the end of the year, and the mid wave after wave of sanctions on russia. so you members have been forced to reconsider the green agenda revert to using coal as they work their alliance on brushing gothic are these donald quarter explains fear p and union painful losses for the green agenda and frances recent presidential election, the greens didn't even get the 5 percent needed to reimburse campaigning costs. and in germany, a choice between harming vladimir putin and sticking to sacred green principles. spoiler alert, berlin chose the 1st one and decided to return to call so much for what world leaders were saying just a few months ago. countries are turning their back on coal. the end of coal is in sight. on the contrary, coal is returning with a vengeance. why? the west is willing to go to any lengths to heart russia over its special operation in ukraine, even if it means playing dirty and replacing russia natural gas,

not with solar panels, not with wind mills, but with dirty old coal. there is a temporary role for coal, which we had hoped would be out of the energy mixed by the end of this decade. but it will stay longer. we will need it until we find alternative sources until the time even the greenest government will not phase out coal, italy, romania, bulgaria, greece, among others are all reviving their call industries, even the world's greenest utility company, or stead is now stock piling. coal, however much we hate it, we are very likely going to see a temporary increasing coal use compared to the trajectory that we have been in for countries that can't extract enough coal at home, they're already ramping up imports from coal, extracting countries like the u. s. australia and indonesia, $27.00 countries said they would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 55 percent by 2030. and they're back in the coal mines. it looks like the eaves head is in the sand at the same time because brussels is telling everyone all as

well. what we will do in the next couple of weeks is work towards what i call the re power you initiative. and as part of that, we want to accelerate the energy transition. the core of what i'm offering is a long term strategic relationship that starts with ellen. g then quickly moves also into renewables, especially high region shipping american alan gee, across the atlantic to save the environment really with the environmental harm caused by chilling shipping and re gas or flying natural gas. these countries might as well just use coal. just ask the experts building even more l n d export terminals would lock in fossil fuel infrastructure and pollution for decades to come. so who wins out from the west? stubborn attempt at spiting moscow. the fossil fuel executives who progressives have hated for the past several decades. cold prices have jumped tenfold and are likely to rise further as demand increases. how quickly principals are gone with the wind when the west doesn't get its way. well, prices in the united states have it's a for decade high,

the highest figure among the advanced economies. the us president has blamed the steep rise on his russian counterparts. problems invasion of ukraine is driven up gas prices. and for prices all over the world. 70 percent of the increase in prices in march came from boons price to gasoline. while the white house blames skyrockets in inflation on quotes, putins price hike. inflation in the us has been steadily rising for several months with gasoline costs accounting for roughly half of that monthly increase. and the inflation rate itself is also for debate, independent data hope true. flacier suggest the real numbers are higher. according to the company, the actual rate differs from the official statistics presented in march by as much as 5 percent. and the founder says the conflicting data is driven by the government's outdated calculation methods. the framework that the government is using is 100 years old and they have continuously tried to evolve that versus taking

a fresh approach in an age where we've got everything computerized investor and financial compensated. jim rogers says the accuracy of the official data has always been questionable. i've been watching the government inflation numbers for many years and they've never been right. the government has incentive to understate them and they do understate them. anyone who go shopping knows that the inflation is much worse than the government says. so a government everywhere has an incentive to keep the inflation rate down so they have to pay less. it's not good for citizens with government don't care about citizens. i anyway, much of my life have known the felt that governments print a lot of money. it leads to inflation replaces started going up in the us and in europe and other countries before any other changes in the last couple months. may

be peace in ukraine tomorrow. we still are going to have inflation because staggering, staggering amounts of money have been printed. and now we're going to have to pay for it. the ukraine has broken records by becoming the 21st century, most covered conflicts on 3 of america's top news networks. the coverage surpassed coverage of was the u. s. was directly involved in, according to reports monitoring the american tv news in march, abc, cbs, and nbc devoted a combined 562 minutes and evening reports to the war ukraine as more coverage than nate. those 2001 war enough gun is done, received political commentator, steve gill shared his thoughts on this. i think a lot of it has to do with hell and he has played the media, but they have been willing players in picking aside. and it's really not just the cray rush of war. i think you've seen a trend in american media in recent years where they literally pick aside they

decide which team they're going to support. and then they cheer that, that team that they share their jersey colored with america right now when you're driving down the street and you see the gas prices, almost changing hourly and going up when we get a report this week that our inflation levels are the highest in, in decades and, and you've got the present, i'm trying to blame it all on on. i think the american people are seeing through the misinformation champagne from the, by the administration. but they're clearly using this job to have somebody to play in this case rather than their own flawed and failed policies. i know for a day that changed the well 61 years ago. a ground breaking event took place when you're a good guy and went above and beyond, where no man had been before the world to celebrate the international day. if human space flights known in russian cosmonaut 6 day of this year, celebrations of good guardians flights have been overshadowed by the west pines

attempts to cancel the 1st man in space. i submitted the political fallout of the ukraine conflict last month. the u. s. foundation, change the name of this event from your nights. so just a celebration of space. another bit of history, guardian, and said they history both becoming the 1st human to travel to space on board. the vast stock spacecraft honoring gardens legacy vladimir putin stressed that russia is currently on the forefront of space exploration. they also announced restarts of the countries luna program with a planned unmanned landing on the moon. july of this year. we spoke to a former soviet diplomats who actually met your guardian after his historic flights, and his name's andres, beloved. he says that the western attempts to cancel the cosmo achievements a shameful know as a boon i. yeah, but can yes. now he was at the end of november $961.00 half a year of the year, a good made his space flight. i was summoned by the us ambassador to india and told

that i was to work as a translator forgotten during his visit. that it was quite a surprise for me for me travelling in the same call with him was like sitting next to churchill stolen or revenge. that meant sitting next to the greatest man on earth. at that moment. we've been together till dawn for 10 days. what struck me maybe know that that time, but years later was the fact that he was a man. you need to be felt like trust. you kind any to talk to. he wasn't pretending it was his true nature. his other trade left me a skirmish with his self control. he had to speak on 40 or 45 meetings during those 10 days, few minutes to be himself an open and absolutely calm person. he always knew what to say. let's just go from history to the present. after the beginning of the ukraine conflicted to merged in the news that your guardians name has been removed from a u. s. event dedicated to the exploration of space was the fact to canceled the world's 1st cause and not as a diplomat how appropriate to think. they said with a self who would be

a new dory rosa flu. the it was not only the current russian government but also tools russian culture and russian and soviet scientific achievement is damaging and ridiculous. trend is especially typical for the united states where it's taking some very amusing forms like an eagle teenager who is willing to home. his parents were seeing this in their attempt to counsel russian writers conference. it looks stupid. i've been thinking about that. you know, i've been watching the series called the crown telling the story of the british ro, family as well a film the act is a really good one. it said let me puzzled. he was dedicated to the late prince for the interest. he was very fond of space. when i started watching that episode, i thought they would sugar and visit to london. we know that he was welcomed by the queen and they had been a huge crowd. but the whole episode was dedicated only to the american astral and then moon landing. it didn't say a word about garden. it looks very strange and even the settings nice. well that's the wrap for now. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again with more the top of the hour. but in the meantime, do feel free to head over to our

t dot com and our social media pages for more stories and analysis. thank you for watching. ah, i go with you, i guess with you, i'm

with full credit. i got some food from beach, gonna still be patient, but i to in the board with

with i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point, obviously is to great trust or rather than fear. so it's like to take on various char, i mean with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with

ah ah hello and welcome to cross dog. we're all things are considered. i'm peter labelle, western politicians and they're pliant. media have a single and terrifying message if russia is allowed to survive than democracy in the west itself will cease to exist. apparently we live in the most existential of times. in reality, the west is destroying the world order it made. ah cross stocking globalization, i'm joined by my guess, ramsey by road in seattle. he's a palestinian author in journalists in washington. we have new boyish mileage. he is a blogger, and columnist, and atlanta we crossed to ben swan. he's an investigative journalist and founder of
