[000:00:00;00] a with the house of battalion on the brink of defeat, the besieged, ukrainian city of murder, you pull, we take a closer look at media coverage of the far right formula to fall under. fighting in matter, you fully focused around the city deal with some residents. hope of finding their relatives who they haven't heard from in week talk a vice president joe biden's pledge to accept as many as 100000 ukrainians as part of

a refugee program. only 12 of been officially re settled over in pockets done out the prime minister in wrong call. and the launch is a campaign to mobilize the support on the streets to monday new elections. the code with it is just gone. 6 am on thursday morning here in moscow monday. be to scott, all the latest news here on our international and where be tuning and it's great to have you. with. the russian defense ministry says the ports in the besieged, ukrainian city of mario pulleys under the control of russian led forces falling in 10 spots. those with fighters from the nationalist of battalion its added all hostages, including foreign nationals, allegedly held by other fighters in the ports and surrounding ships. had been released, remaining units of the other battalion of apparently been surrounded and prevented

from retreating. the former paramilitary unit since 2014 a part of the ukraine military is featured prominently in the media on these don court. the looks of the units background. not long ago, westerners were mostly in agreement that the neo nazi as a battalion was heretic. after all, who wouldn't be upset with statements like this one? the ukrainian nations mission is to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade against semi lead under mention. that was a quote from andre bill etzky, one of as our founders, and its 1st commander in 2014. he was elected to parliament and served for 5 years despite the whole country. knowing that he founded not only patriots of ukraine, but also the social national assembly. these were 2 neo nazi organizations that became known for attacks on ukrainian minority groups around the same time as off was integrated into the national guard making ukraine. the only country in the world to have meal nazi regiments in the official armed forces and president

vladimir lensky still doesn't seem to lose any sleep over that age off battalions. that is said to be nazi affiliated organisation, operating as a militia in your country, said to be committing their own atrocities, as all was one of those many battalions, the key of what they are, what they are in 2018 as off sister organization called national drew gina was rolled out and it became a modern equivalent to hitler's brown shirts and pledged undying loyalty to bull. etzky wasn't long before they also began to terrorize ukraine's minority populations. the drew gina quickly distinguished itself by carrying out to graham's against the roman and l. g. b, t organizations and storming a municipal council. earlier this year, g f announced a neo nazi unit will be monitoring poles in next month, presidential election. ukraine's former interior minister and close friend of bullet ski quickly gave national regina his full support. while the growing piles

of human rights abuses began to grow even faster, a man with a mental disability was subject to cruel treatment, rape, and other forms of sexual violence by 8 to 10 members of the as of and don bass battalions in august, september 2014 a resident of mary u paul was detained by 3 servicemen of the as of battalion. he was continuously interrogated and tortured. he complained about being handcuffed to a metal rod and left hanging on it. he was reportedly tortured with electricity abductions, robberies, extortionate executions. amnesty international pleaded with key of to get a leash on its neo nazis, but to no avail. in 2018, the u. s. ban sending weapons to the eyes of battalion. but as a national guard unit, it could still receive military aid, intended for the ukrainian government. a year later, u. s. democrats tried to add it to the countries list of foreign terror organizations, but yet again,

they failed. it's clear that the threat we face today is of a self radicalized gunman. somebody who has been radicalized online. whether it's in accordance with g haughty ideology or a global white nationalist, neo nazi group. take a look at the tactics of the ukrainian military and isis, for example, you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart. human shields, torture prisoner executions the new york times, which typically tries to whitewash the crimes of these neo nazi regiments, even verified. one of the many videos portraying them on the internet as undoubtedly authentic. he's still alive, film these marauders look, he's still alive. he's gasping. a man says as a russian soldier with a jacket pulled over his head, apparently wounded. it seemed still breathing. a soldier then shoots demand twice after the man keeps moving, the soldier shoots them again and he stops. and the minute rush steps in saying it actually wants to put an end to these injustices that people have complained about

for so many years. all of the sudden, neo nazis are given a free pass for the time being. we're making a narrow exception for praise of the czar regiment strictly in the context of defending ukraine or in their role as part of the ukraine national guard. so many in the west neo nazis had become nationalists. war criminals have become patriots. how easily people have put 8 years of crimes and terror out of sight and out of mind just to stick it to russia. and this battles rage in and around the cities. steel plunge residents of mount, you will continue to suffer from food and water shortages life in areas free from fighting seas. some. com. monetary and a did that last reaching the area, raj because dia reports multiple ah, the weather here in maryville has taken a turn for the worse. nevertheless, there are hundreds of people here all waiting to receive permits. permits to walk

around the city. come here with their documents with various identification, to get these permits that check with the people who submit these documents. i actually the individuals written in them and they need these permits to avoid any misunderstandings. we must bear in mind that fighting still rages in my removal this baby. what of the liberated areas, but it is still dangerous until avoid any misunderstanding. people here get these permit. you can probably tell by the state of mary, you pull that many people are having trouble with documents that they've lost them, burned in the files and the fighting with. we're carrying out a population. census issuing people passes so they can move around the city. some documents always survive. we're using medical, but even if people have no papers, their relatives can come to confirm their identity. understandably, there of course difficulties getting

a city running the size of my are you pull from scratch from? from the wreckage in the ruins of the cities currently in is is a difficult task. everyone must be clothed. everyone must be fed, kept warm. that is hidden of itself difficult, but getting everyone papers giving out papers, checking people's identities, especially given that people he are still in shock. as still terrified from the ordeal that they had to go through. and the treatment that they received from ukrainian nationalist, we've all heard that testimony. the entire population of mary apple was held hostage. ukrainian nationalists would shoot at any one trying to flee. the world hasn't seen the like since isis jihadists held hundreds of thousands of human shields. in mo, self, what time it was she, what i miranda, of not in the afternoon opportunity for nearby lucy. sabrina. was my young there,

william there from nearby to let you know. opportunity with julia of nursing. moved my live. it didn't go through from doctors to little data, so from with them really mostly for quite yellow. if i did a coil, you could for sure your bill will be with new content to move. no further. dna connected wirelessly already. yes. unit net shout. everyone here went through this, each and every one of them has their own horror story. but some happened ended. yes, thought you'd want to fed, you substituted company. you holla is not possible. there's no papa. so i was just, all i, you know what is on as a sub screen here it was, you lose, you got that. i will hold it as a stance, gain is sick of give diminish. i should no more. why don't use brush of i don't i ve gilmore but you she woke up to see what your wish is. she could have skita sh gets a year which give wish that us guys wish the coach at me at your mercy. lord george,

at the moment i had to do them dominion nicole j. w player. when i deem some of the some of our voices, digital phone is puzzled. nadine eat him with people from all over the world, have reached out seeking news of family and friends trapped in mary. you both these lists and permits being compiled now will help them. or i'd guess d a r t for mario both. it's been revealed, the u. s. has officially resettle just 12 ukrainian refugees over the past month. and thus, despite president biden's pledge a more strict sets as many as $100000.00 ukrainians into the country fighting the need for family, the unions ortiz, rachel blevins, looks at the gap between the promises made and the reality on the ground. the mine and ministrations promise that the us would accept 100000 ukrainian refugees certainly has not become

a reality with the latest data showing that just 12 ukrainian were accepted through the united states official refugee program. now the white house is putting the blame on the us legal system as the department of homeland security reveals that nearly 3000 ukrainians crossed over into the united states through the us mexico border. so the question then becomes, is the, by an administration planning anything to maybe get it a little bit closer to the goal that at that for itself. while reports are saying that they are looking at some sort of a parole program where refugees would be able to come into the country as long as they have sponsors here in the us. and already advocate through refugees or raising concerns about that kind of a program, noting that it would keep refugees from getting access to certain benefits and protection. they are inventing this new approach to parole, which provides no security, no safety net. and so that's worrying and leaves the applicant at the mercy of the

backlog and broken asylum system if they want to stay here permanently. meanwhile, thousands of refugees who are not ukrainian are raising their frustrations and concerns as they are trying to gain access to the u. s, and they're fleeing violence from their home countries in latin america. and it's all comes as the us border patrol has already predicted that there would be a record breaking surge of migrants looking to cross over the us mexico border the spring. i think we also do have the opportunity to cross the border. this should let us in because we're also fleeing. it's different we're running from, but it's still a war and war against gangs, given that ukrainian refugees aren't the ones benefiting from u. s. involvement in their country, the question then becomes, well, who is and in order to find that answer, we just have to over to the pentagon, where reportedly they are hosting the leaders from the top a u. s. weapons manufacturers on wednesday, for

a meeting where the main subject is making sure that ukraine is supplied with weapons and ready for war for years and years to come. so it appears as though once again, those who aim to benefit off of this complex are the ones who the u. s. government is listening to the people who have the most interesting influence in the direction of the coverage are weapons makers. they have the most direct financial stake in the way we cover issues of war and peace. unfortunately, they are interested in more war and less peace when it comes to the mainstream media. their coverage here is not much different. for example, if we look at former ca, director turn defense secretary leon panetta, he used one of his many, many recent appearances on the and then to talk about how the u. s. just is not sending ukraine enough weapon and that no pulling wasn't mentioned. and that also reportedly has ties to raytheon,

which is one of the largest defense contractors here in the u. s. and yet with all of this, talk about the need for the u. s. decide more weapons ukraine. it never is mentioned that this trend of supplying weapons do a country. it only leaves you instability and chaos which then creates more refugees. this is the u. s. policy always to make great promises and come to nothing when it comes to the people themselves. so with millions of refugees, once again, us policy is to give assistance to almost none of them. and to instead impose on the surrounding countries an enormous dislocation. at this point, the biden administration has managed to process, they managed a process in march 12 ukrainians who had refugee status. and by the way, this happens all the time. look at the hundreds of thousands who were promised refugee

from afghanistan, not much different in iraq and syria, in libya, for all of the countries where the u. s. has instigated wars kept them running for years and created an enormous dislocation of peoples who really are forced to leave their own country and then live in fairy dislocated life and at enormous expense in the surrounding country. most somalian refugees of also still go to get help from washington. despite fleeing from a civil conflict in the country, which the u. s. has been actively engaged in the u. n. u, monetary response plan for the country is seen only around 4.5 percent of planned funding. this year we heard the stories of some somalis, desperately struggling to survive

a law. brave grey, a gentleman, you okay with other check him out of that? no. okay, this is something we're already aware of. the ukrainian crisis started less than 2 months ago and we've been stranded across the, our states more than 30 years now with nobody supporting us. now. the ukrainian crisis has stolen and spotlight with his animal that was even village for 30 years, who's been suffering from deteriorating living conditions like brittany, geez, and all countries with a yellow line. we've been here since 1991 after fleeing the war between the tribes

in somalia. us only intervened to achieve its objectives, but didn't do any good for the somali people. and we came here in a group of 350 either the us nor the un provided any assistance to with them as, as the model. so we can basically, you is destroyed similarly and did nothing to support us knowing that the u. s. and other western countries pay attention to bull's foreign countries that why because the u. s. has an interest in them. otherwise they with never doing anything good to i'm, i don't expect it to do. so i'm a huge ah, the austin prime minister of pakistani mancha has launched

a campaign to come by to office. com was overthrown by votes of no confidence in parliament days. after blocking a similar attempt, he held a raleigh on wednesday in the city of peshawar and is calling on his supporters to take to the streets throughout the country and a bid to force fresh elections. oh, my fellow brave pakistani, we don't accept his shameless government. i assure you, until this government knows his new election, we will stay on the streets and continue protesting. you have a big responsibility and you don't bow down to anyone. you don't bow down to seek out whether i am elected in government or in opposition. i will not allow my nation to participate in other countries. was that address you just heard that was reportedly delivered to tens of thousands of people. it comes after similarly large process, we're held in a bit to topple in the else did. prime minister slammed those protests during his

last days in power thing they were orchestrated by the us in a plot to lost him as something the white house denies. newly appointed governments alleges they've inherited an economic mess following cons leadership. one early response has been to restart talks with the international monetary fund over re paying a bailout talks, which stalled joint cons. tenure. we spoke with an international lawyer and geopolitical analyst, who said that many support, the former prime minister, if you're the crisis, cannot be blamed solely on con. i don't think this is a fair assessment of the situation that a broken to point to me. when he leaves the country, he has done a few things in the mean, the development of the economy. so i think it's unfair to leave it on for that. and, you know, i believe the, the large a,

the country is going to be very divided would be a limited support. because government is looking at a rally behind the prime minister because they feel that it is a conspiracy that is on this thing that is happening in the country. this is forced reading, happening for their eyes. this is of black me and you know, even more going not give these people the you is to provide financial aid to north africa. countries emit a food crisis that's been exacerbated by the war and ukraine on sanctions against russia. multiple countries in the region have closed trade ties to russia, which the uses as a challenge to its influence. us section general late the challenges of searching

commodity costs. certainly 6 countries count on russia and ukraine for more than half of that within ports, including some of the poorest and most vulnerable countries of the world. and prices was already on the rise, but the war has made a bad situation far worse. versus the world's largest wheat supply and a major producer fertilize this. egypt received half its imports from russian with 30 percent from ukraine was go claims the food crisis is due to sanctions. while the top diplomats use a barrel ledger moscow is attacking wheat storage on ports. political analyst, lawrence freeman says that the west isn't concerned with africa interest because they are to blame the idea that you'd be sanctioning russia now, which of the major reproduce are obviously exporting trading wheat is going to be severely reduced if not eliminated due to the financial sanctions,

and this is an issue that's been raised now by the west. we're really has not been a great concern in for the last several decades. and that's where it has to be corrected is so africa has to become self sufficient in food production. is a massive food shortage throughout the world. in prior to the conflict was where shane creed, they were tens of millions of africans facing food insecurity. this crisis did not just develop in the last month. this has been developed b and stay on the recently conditions for the last several years. european union and united states in the west, in general, have there do not have a policy for developing africa. as western countries look for

alternatives to russian gas, one option is algeria, which is geographically close, of course, to europe. however, relations between algeria and some western states are not straightforward as r t. so davinsky explains well that you look east towards you. crane in the wall there, it's a way that it needs to keep its eyes on other issues bubbling up to yoseph burrell the books. foreign affairs chief recently hinted it concerns in africa. now while he specifically mentioned molly, there is another african nation that could be problematic, algeria mm.

that stand off of a western sahara could be a pilot to have why did geo political ramifications? what's happened is that spain has moved much closer to morocco's position on western sahara. this is seen in algiers as being a threat, if not a liquidation of the right of the people of western sahara to self determination. under the leadership of pull assario. then as noted, you've had the resurgence of hard right forces with in spain. and so i think it's fair to say that in terms of islam, a phobia that is a dash or probably deeper in terms of having deeper roots and spain and in france, believe it or not. because keep in mind that arab and muslim forces rule spain or for hundreds of years. and that rule is,

has not been forgotten as part of traditional contemporary spanish football. and algeria takes that quite seriously as well. they should tensions have risen further in recent weeks with spain is just doing a massive you tune. now for years, madrid has supported a un sponsored referendum to settle the issues over this disputed territory of the western sahara. now it's chosen site, spain considers the autonomy initiative presented by morocco in 2007 is the most serious, realistic, incredible basis for resolving the dispute. that apparently went down like a lead balloon in algiers. gas pump from algeria to spain has been lowering in recent years, but in 2021 it's still made up around 43 percent of imports. while g is isn't

likely to turn off the taps. it has suggested that prices could change spain's position on the western sahara also brings this in line with washington. under donald trump, a deal was struck to recognize morocco's claim on region. in return from normalizing relations with israel and applied in the white house is now pushing algeria to also think hard about if feature washington has a very long memory. and even though there are those who might have forgotten the time, and algeria open to stores to the black mountain party of the united states of america, i can assure you that washington has not forgotten. washington has not forgotten that at one time, algeria in terms of a title, the recent book was considered capital of the 3rd world. that is to say, algeria was seen as a militant, exemplar of arab nationalism, a militant, exemplary,

or of nationalism that was quite friendly to the palestine liberation organization . and indeed, is still friendly to the palestinian resistance. and i think that all of these fat hers tend to complicate relations between washington and algeria. and i don't think that's going away any time soon as the e. u is looking to reduce russian energy imports. algeria could be the perfect ally, it's geographically close. it already has pipelines running to spain, and it's thought to have fairly vast energy reserves. but it may not be that simple . a recent policy brief by the european council warned that european leaders seem to be unwilling to stand up to moroccan demands. and in doing so, are seeing that credibility being undermined in algeria. so unless the block

confined and then maintain that very tricky balance plans to substitute some russian for algerian energy could be nothing but a pipe dream challenge even sky r t. paris, president biden has condemned russia's actions in ukraine as genocide. he also once again blamed the u. s. cost of living crisis on the russian leader. your family project, your ability to fill up your tract. not over. should he and john were there a dictator? declares war commit genocide, half a world away. yes, i call the genocide. he has become clear, clear recruiters are trying to worry about the idea of the baby crane. now, joe biden hasn't shied away from condemning russia's actions in ukraine, increasingly strong terms, labeling the russian leader a war criminal last month. the sentiment was echoed by canadian prime minister, just intrude, whoa, who agreed? genocide was an appropriate label. germany's olaf shows, however, has avoided escalating rhetoric with president micron,

also cautioning against the use of that word. oh, be careful with such terms today because these 2 people's brothers, it's monday. what's happening today is unbelievable. brutality unreturned, to warn you, or i don't want to continue to try the utmost to be able to stop the war and restore peace. malaria, we spoke with a former u. s. air force, the tenant colonel, who told us the war of words is part of the wire to political game to detroit, attention away from domestic issues. crown, of course is very intelligent and sophisticated end. he knows his history and he's precise in his language. biden is none of those things. ok. he is. he's not particularly intelligent. he's not precise in his language. he doesn't know his history or he doesn't remember, and i'm not sure which, which the case is to show. and so he has definitely biting his definitely gone off the reservation, so to speak in using the term genocide. and i think it's important to know number

of where he 1st used this term and he was addressing a union, a local union in the midwest. so he was talking to the democratic core support. what's left of it for by and he's speaking kind of in a campaign that is looking not at ukraine, not in europe, not even if the economy he is looking at what's happening in november, the mid term elections for congress. it's not looking good for the democrats and biden is doing what he can to kind of excite his base. and i think that's really why he's using that term with one of the terms that's coming out of the white house and has been for several weeks now. is that the putin gas height i think is calling it, he's blaming high gas prices here in america, on putin, in his, in the invasion of ukraine. i'm not on any of the things that he's done even though
