impossible to replace opec warns of an unprecedented energy shortage in europe. if it suspends russian oil supplies, or puddle of guests, weighing on the prospects of the block coating russian energy, you cannot run an economy like the european economy based on this faith based energy policy. of course, the government is shutting down the economy. what they do and very aggressive politics, that is ideology driven. also coming up a story, finds the u. s. news coverage of the war in ukraine past that the was in iraq and afghanistan. we dig in for the some of the reasons why it's gripped so many households with just gone am on wednesday morning here in moscow. my name is peter scott and

welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. here nazi international president, putin has dismissed the allegations of russian war crimes in the ukrainian son of boucher calling and fake. and that was during a media conference with his bell russian counterparts. because then you regret, butcher, 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, they're 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 talked about it, but they sure did talk about all the staged provocations and syria, like the imitation of chemical weapons use by the said government. and later it turned out that it was all fake, just like boucher was really why we put in statement is the most recent reaction

from moscow to the situation around the ukraine in town of butch and caves, accusations that earlier russia's defense ministry already called at provocation and a disturbing video, apparently showing dead bodies lying on the streets of butcher, but keith 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 bouquet again, and the countries media seems to be in hysteria 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, a louder, louder every day. and all that before any independent investigation into what exactly abner happened while it seems that all the conclusions have already been made and a russia is already been punished right now,

including economically some steel. talk about benito fact check in and proper investigation. here is germany's foreign minister. we have massive indications of war crimes. in the end, the courts will have to decide, but for rush, 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 at day after the mayor of boucher officially confirmed in his v. dear message posted on social media that the russian army had already left the town. lose you dear friends, the honored community of boucher march 31st 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 is still more questions than answers, and it is clear, it seems for everybody now that it should be investigated exactly what happened in boot. i think if you are law abiding countries, the worst that we are supposed to be should stop is right. everything right away, not talk about massacres, said 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 from russia and ukraine has to go to singer

. can we agree on this team and let the team give its decision of invest for c specialist team will say ukraine is, did it or russians did it or maybe foreign agents from other countries did this? we don't know. but we have to have that objectivity. if we want to, to know exactly what happens, the fact that the west, all of a sudden identified the perpetrator without this analysis goes to say that just shows that this is not serious. this is not me taking seriously. and unfortunately, i don't see at all the west backtracking on this. it seems that the west are just using this as a pretext. and i think this is definitely an insult to the justice marquis of says the leader of the country's largest opposition party. victor immediate shook has been captured on the orders of president lensky. he was under house arrest, was escaped after the conflict begun. his lawyer legend had received threats. is ukrainian president on that arrest marceau or so believe will teach him,

i think is specially cynical of him to use military camouflage. he tried to disguise himself like such a soldier such a patriot. maybe a joke was placed under house arrest in 2021 accused of treason and something he denies up to the start of the conflict. his policy was among a number of opposition parties whose activities were suspended under martial law. present zalinski is offered to exchange mid mid joke for captive ukrainian soldiers with moscow yet to comments on that proposal. meanwhile, battles for the dom bus city of murder, you pull, continue to rage with around a 1000 ukrainian. marines reported to have surrendered. the bulk of the fighting is focused around the as of style steel plants and some suspected members of the nationalists as of italian have apparently been trying to escape the battle ground . as asked he's broadcast, fee of reports. ukrainian forces surrounded and merry. you will have begun to crack almost every day. more. surrender sometimes and ties 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 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 full 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 or they're taken away for questioning. and very often it is found that yes indeed, this was

a fight of the russian side have lease and lease of those who served 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 found. she raised all manner of red flags, her behavior, her mannerisms, her clothes, her very speech, don't feel me, you lose your food. she told us. very, very brave woman emerging from the as of steel, industrial complex, which is under the nationalist. she is most likely father's. he had tell us a sniper, the as of battalion, neo nazi with alien. they use a lot of women because women have a quality, generally speaking, of course, that they 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 known for a very, very long time. it only got worse,

as she told her story. it was full of holds 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, 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, his story, even more remarkable here with,

with with during questioning, a huge number of images were found on the phone with nazi civil last lawyer with raven with russian. a few gloria with the meeting because you 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 circumvented, mary, you will this guy's, the civilians. they are priority now is not the glory of ukraine. the 3rd, right. cool. the area and race, but rather than own personal survival. more i guess, do you have r t for mary? oh. well wait until russia sanctions over the ukraine conflict, strengthening the world's top oil, producing nations of res concerns. the warning for the you comes from the opec group, which says that europe could face an unprecedented energy shortage if it cuts off rational supplies. we could potentially see the loss. simone is $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 and come the lights of concerns from luxemburg . the country is warned. impending sanctions currently been discussed by the union

would heavily impact germany's industry and later the whole of europe. and us for the u. k. report finds that the energy crisis is pushing inflation up towards 9 percent, which would be the highest in 40 years. coupled with a forecast, the dropping for many u. k. households are expected to feel the pinch and over to germany, where the head of the countries, a federal network agency said in a recent interview that if rushing gas supplies coats, germany's reserves will only last until often this year we discuss the prospects of europe future without tuition and she flies with our pan live guests economy's collapse, unemployment rises, supply chains is integrated and drops 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 as 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 isn't a tax that all your opinion 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 ideology 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 exports. there are fixed number of liquid action facilities that oil and gas industry will have to really up its production. after having been told for the past year of the byte in administration, that they are public enemy number lines and they should be treated with all 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 strategies who do not work, who are not thought crew. 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. but despite the stock warnings over its energy reserves, berlin is still seeking for ways of completely stopping energy imports from russia, saying is going to give up on gas into 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 impulse 55 percent of his natural gas from

russia and berlin has acknowledged it will be difficult to rapidly remove russian energy sources from its supply chain. the u. s. on the u announced a deal to boost liquefied natural gas supplies to europe by the end of the year and a mid wave after wave of sanctions on russia. so me, you members have been forced to reconsider their green agenda reverts using coal as they work to their alliance on rushing gas. as aussies, donald culture explains across the european 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 hurt 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 call 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 use 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 hydrogen shipping, american, ellen g, across the atlantic to save the environment really with the environmental harm caused by chilling shipping and re gas. a flying natural gas, these countries might as well just use coal. just ask the experts building even more l n g 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 10 fold and are likely to rise further as demand increases. how quickly principles are gone with the wind when the west doesn't get its way. russia and india celebrates 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties on wednesday. the country share a long history of close partnership and corporation, both militarily and economically. and it comes against the badge off of increasing pressure on you deli, from the u. s. india is being criticized on its mutual stunts on the war in ukraine as u. s. india. so some one day u. s. officials discussed india's weaponry and oil impulse from russia. and after that's also the u. s. secretary of state on c, blinkin urge their allies to curb trade with russia. we continue to urge all countries to avoid major new transactions for russian weapon systems, particularly in light of what russia is doing to ukraine. every country is

differently situated, has different needs requirements. but we're looking to allies and partners not to increase their their purchases of rushers. while who better to discuss this with been involved. i club member, one of india, leading experts on india, russia relations. none done, only christian and non welcome to the international. thank you for inviting me. well, thanks for coming on. richard and india, both term their relations as quote, special as a special and privilege to teach a partnership. for what extent is that still relevant now in 2022, given the current geopolitical backdrop. well, i think, excuse me, i think it is in fact proving to be relevant because india is continuing to maintain a relationship with russia despite the pressure, as you already mentioned, from the u. s. or the west in general, to dilute our relationship with the russian federation. this however,

does not mean that india supports what has happened between russia and the west. because any hostilities at that level make it more difficult for india to navigate international waters. but nevertheless, right now, india is interested in maintaining a neutral position on what is going on in europe. well, as you've already touched on, the u. s. has been, you know, placing pressure on india to scrap that neutrality status over ukraine, direct them to succeed. well, i'm not an astrologer, but if you look at what has happened so far, and just a day or 2 ago, we had the meeting of the prime minister with what you are meeting of the prime minister with president biden, as well as the physical meeting off our defense minister and foreign minister in

washington with their count about judging by the results of india is standing up to the pressure and continues to predict what india considers to be. it's for interest . while washington also wants india to reduce its dependency on russian arms with the country, obviously, importing over half its arms from russia. do you think that would be feasible? well, you know, this is a little bit more complicated because it, india is going through for the last, almost to begin with a program of diversification of arms ablaze. but the problem is, diversification does not mean what some others think it does. that india is going to shift dependencies from russia to the united states. what india i want is these countries to help india build its own military industrial complex. because india desires to be a great bar, it understands that those desires cannot be met if it continues to import arms in

a large number. so therefore, it is a policy of self reliance in that there will be diverse if occasion in the sense that the percentage of dependence on russian all the rest are non will decline. but not necessarily as the results of pressure from the u. s. now more, more broadly speaking, what economic and political leverage does the u. s. in principle have on india? well, you've seen the effect of the sanctions. i think the biggest revelation of the current conflict as being the power of the dollar. the weaponized ation of the dollar and the effected as on everybody an india where there will be like it or not. 85 percent of our economy at the very least, resides in the private sector. and the private sector, as we know, is very almost disengaged from russia and is engaged mostly with

the rest of the world. and the buildings with the rest of the rest of the world are in us dollars. so undoubtedly they're already going amik and financial pressures that the united states can bring. and the 2nd one is that india is primary challenges development investor in so many people above the poverty line. so again, something that it is look forward looking forward to hearing from all countries with russia on the west watch. so these are the best point lou, which india could be sensitive to. but i do not think that with the current leadership in india, there would be compromise. and gordon national interest was domestic and international . well, non done christian and i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it. one of india is leading experts on india bush relations. thank you very much for joining us today on the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the 2

countries. thank you for inviting. ah, i'm moving on prices in the united states have heads for decade high, the highest figure among the advanced economists. the u. s. presence is blamed the steep rise on his russian counterparts. proteins invasion of your craters driven up gas prices. and for prices all over the world. 70 percent of the increase in prices in march came from price cycle gasoline. while the white house blames skyrockets inflation on quotes to tins, price like inflation in the u. s. has actually been steadily rising for several months now with gasoline costs accounting for roughly half of the monthly increase in inflation rates itself is also for debates. independent date. the whole truth lation suggests the real numbers they're actually higher. according to the company, the actual rates differs from the official statistics presented in march by as much as 5 percent. the found it 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 evolve that versus taking a fresh approach in an age where we've got everything computerized on investor and financial commentator jim rogers says the accuracy of the official data is always been questionable, i've been watching the government high 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. what governments don't care about citizens? i anyway, much of my life have known of felt that the government's prints are a lot of money. it leads to inflation,

inflation started going up in the u. s. and in europe and other countries before any other changes in the last couple months. you know, it 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 gonna have to pay for it. war ukraine has broken u. s. t. v records by becoming the 21st century is most covet conflict. on 3 of america's top news networks, the coverage i see the death of was the u. s. military was directly involved in a spots controversy on social media. i am genuinely shocked. ukraine receive more media coverage than afghanistan in the months after $911.00 or our iraq invasion. the main war, the u. s. is waging 247300. 65 is the propaganda war. and that's the one area where they actually are, is exceptionally good, as they generally think. they are mainstream media's following democrats orders to

horrify americans with russian aggression the more the better to distract poor nation from gas and food prices. according to report monitoring american t. v news in march abc, cbs and b. c devoted a total of 562 minutes and evening reports to the war in ukraine. that's more coverage than nato's 2001 war enough gun is done. received political commentator, steve gill shed his thoughts with those on not i think a lot of it has to do with how and he has played the media, but they have been willing players in picking aside. and it's really not just the trade russia 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 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 campaign from the, by the administration. but they're clearly using this to, to have somebody to play in this case rather than their own thought and fail policies. but those are the main stories this our money is peter scott, and i'll be back again with more news in about 30 minutes time. thank you for watching western politicians and they're playing 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 restoring the world order. it may do
