a joe biden imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang a say it's border regional 3 on the schedule is being shelled in a ukrainian or a strike, leaving a number of people including a child seriously injured thoughts occurring despite warnings from moscow that any further read tied to the college territory. could see key as close decision making, centers targeting and responses also ahead european countries. it constantly talking about refusing russian supplies, pushed further destabilizes the market and inflates the prices themselves, primarily for their citizens, with a so called unfriendly state self. delaying payments for russian energy supplies. the president also highlighted by ordinary europeans,

will be the ones hardest hit by the antique russian rhetoric of 30 years. and russia reveals new evidence of what it claims is the activity of u. s. funded bio labs in ukraine. same dangerous substances word tested on the patients of psychiatric clinics with plans to then use pro is to deploy the material from the sky with new the stories that matter today from across the globe. this is our to you. i'm, you know, neil grid of your company, local authorities in the pre owned region of western russia, have accused ukraine's armed forces of carrying out a nurse strike on the border area. the russian investigative committee claims it was a ukrainian or a strike curries on i to combat helicopters equipped with heavy offensive weapons.

8 people, including a pregnant woman and child are reported to have been injured in the sheli. 2 of the casualties, including the child are said to be in a serious condition authorities in the neighboring belgrade region. also accused key of, of carrying. i'd shelling there with at least one injure does or is the incidents come despite a warning from the russian defense ministry on wednesday, but moscow could target keith's decision making centers if ukraine keeps bombing russian border regions. ortiz don quarter took me through the story earlier. russian investigative committee is saying that to ukraine, an attack helicopters launched 6 different air strikes on the border town of clim of that's located in rushes, brown's region which is on the border with ukraine and the dunbar peoples republics . as of now 7 people, including a pregnant woman and a child who is now in critical condition, have been injured as

a result of this. and according to the local authorities to residential buildings have also been damaged. and the entire region has been put on high alert for potential terrorist attacks in the near future. so there are around the same time that this air strike our series of airstrikes happened. actually there was another attack on a russian border point, just about 40 kilometers south west of climmer. and there the local border guard said that the mortar fire began to rain down on that area just as refugees were trying to escape from ukraine into the russian federation. thankfully that nobody was hurt at that point, but 2 cars were damaged. and just to be clear, this is not the 1st time actually that ukrainian forces have attacked russian territory. we also know that the day before these attacks occurred that i was just talking about right now. we heard from the governor of course, who said that a fire fight broke out on another russian border checkpoint with ukrainian forces. and that was that another border checkpoint, this has all collectively,

basically provoked the russian ministry of defense into promising harsh retaliation if the ukrainian military continues to attack russian territory. video property. we see attempts to sabotage and strikes by ukrainian troops on objects on the territory of the russian federation. if such cases continued, the armed forces of the russian federation will strike the decision making centers, including and care what the russian army has refrained from doing so far. now it's important to note that these attacks we're talking about occurred after the ministry of defense, a statement we heard from the governor of another region called belgrade that that territory was attacked as well for ukraine apart. it claims it solely targets the military and such a text. but as you were going through, we had a pregnant woman, a young girl among the injured civilians. this week you've spent time in the regions there as well. dawn, what's the reality? that's right. actually i was in rushes border region of ra store covering the mass evacuations of people from the done. yes. can people's republics,

in the days before russia began its military operation in ukraine and right after that began actually ukrainian forces started to shell civilian areas, mostly in border regions in russian territory. so these took place in the region of roster that i was in. it also took place in the border region of course, of the border region of belgrade and bronze called these regions that we're talking about right now that are still being attacked by the ukrainian military. i even remember at one point that local reports had said that around 40 artillery shells fell in roster of region where i was located just over one night. so schools at that time across the border were closed just as they have been now in clim of a. so there were really talking about indiscriminate ukrainian shelling of russian territory that began back when the russian military operation began just over a month ago. well, political and social commentator alexander poverty sees,

there's reason to believe all teary motives are behind the key of sections of strategy zalesky. and i must say, his western handlers can be summed up in 3 words escalade escalate, an escalade ah, anything to drawing more weapons into ukraine. anything that ah, digs an even deeper divide between russia, russians and ukrainians. thus, the order of the day, they now need of pictures. they need videos, they need video clips of russian missiles hitting care which they will immediately on broadcast over the western mass media showing that the russians are apparently attacking civilian targets in historical here. this is now now they're willing, obviously they're willing to use not only ordinary people. civilians are also

willing to use their own capital city in order just to gain further sympathy for, for, for themselves and to drama, more hates against russia. vladimir putin on to western states for delaying the transfer of payments for russian energy exports. a failure in the payment of export supplies of russian energy resources, banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you, the task is already been set to transfer payments for energy resources to the national currency. gradually moving away from the dollar and the euro. in general, we intend to radically increase the share of payments in the national currency and the foreign trade system in the liquid. around a month ago, the russian president ordered the state companies to switch to payments and roubles for energy export. so the decision was met with a huge backlash from the west,

which accused moscow of breaking contracts and circumventing functions. however, there's still no agreement among member states on bombing russian ordering. the gauss latimer putting also reiterated an embargo on russian energy resources will primarily hit european citizens. the budget was up listed on the thames by western countries to replace our energy resources with alternative supplies will inevitably affect the entire global economy. supplies from other countries, primarily from the united states, will cost consumers many times more would affect the standard of living of people and the competitiveness of the european economy. despite these obvious things for every one european countries, it constantly talking about refusing russian supplies which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. the right term, an economist like a homer believes the antique russian rhetoric from new leaders when it comes to russian gas will end up hurting their own countries on citizens. when they stick to

this idiot, idiocy of energy policy, the many supply chains will come up in the you. and as everybody knows, the supply chains are so delicate, with the globalized world that you destroy so many other parts of it. that especially a high industrialized countries like germany, france, and so on, well, well, suffer immediately, and it is a, it is a bypass of all the environmental talks they do if they buy the, an environmental catastrophic, a freaking gas from the u. s. so this is no option at all the, the c o 2 footprint of this gas from the u. s. is so bad, so this is no option at all and everybody knows their spot of they just to proclaim that so somehow it will go. they have no clue. they are really no clue on what they're doing. and there's destroy the,

the industry that has been build up for 40 years, and they destroying and in a blink oven. i now waves of european sanctions against russia are colliding with soaring course in the u, affecting millions of people, a staggering 90 percent plus of spaniards poll. fear the conflict in ukraine will have an influence on varying expense on the economic situation at home. while business owners in germany helping us and expressing their frustration of continually rising prices on the impact that is having on their livelihoods, mammals, you believe a lie, the energy costs, you can see it with the gas prices. the price is currently 25 percent higher than 2 months ago. and so of course, you have to allocate the prices in some way and we cannot avoid increasing costs wise if you were leading into guns. if we have more costs, we have to think about how we can pass them on, although that's pretty bad for us because it's not just millionaires who come here . it's the case that we always want to keep our entrance fee affordable for the

people. but we can't do it, at least we, envoy, and one thing is clear. everything that's happened is always paid for by the individual. it's the same at the gas station at the supermarket. it's the same everywhere. and of course, the prices have also increased in our marquee, and i get what one of the key industries being hit is agriculture. with russia, a major producer of these sectors products such as fertilizers, ease, sanctions, have led to supply shortages and rising prices for european farmers. german agricultural chiefs or warning this situation is extremely fragile. whether speaking of his gloves it up, russia and ukraine produce about 40 percent of the world nitrogen market. so the question now is how the sanction situation can evolve? because nitrogen is the very engine of plant growth. without nitrogen, no plants can grow. and therefore nitrogen deficiency significantly affects the crop reduction, unconventional farms of any kind, novel, the director of economic cooperation of the russian foreign ministry to me treat

bridge. jeff skate told me earlier. it's clear that you sanctions will cause great harm across your while. it is obvious that the new restrictive measures will have an adverse effect on the european economy, the sanctioned, the so called sanctions will definitely on demise, competitiveness of the you. they will further disrupt remaining value and supply cheese is to get price. grow up, commodities are all materials, food and other critical goos, european metal interest. they will also have to go through a painful process of changes. well, there are various views on that, but people in businesses will settle or suffer from the direct or indirect effects such that inflation, by the way, is on the rise across the u. n. d, in america and in japan. as energy prices are skyrocketing, according to some estimates, the living standards of population on the way down to minimum levels records since 19 seventies. in 2021 and in 2020 of whirlpool program repeatedly warned that the

world facing current of virus pandemic was on the edge of hunger and damage that could lead to multiple lines of biblical proportions. i quote, this estimation, let me emphasize is, was made last year, not now. so russia has nothing to do with this russia essays, it's obtained more evidence on the alleged operations of us funded by alarms in ukraine. according to the latest report from the ministry of defense, dangerous substances were reportedly tested on patients with severe mental health issues are tease remote cost rep can tell us more. well, according to the russian army, the special military operation continues on covering facts regarding the existence of military biological labs in ukraine. now, moscow says that's a key of had plans to use pathogens developed in pentagon funded by

a lab. so attack the republics of done boswell and russia as well. now, these shilling, like really and the chilling revelations come supported by a document that the army allegedly discovered during the 2 months offensive acumen was on the weekends colonies for also during special operation on the territory of ukraine. we found out that from 2019 to 2021 us scientists were testing dangerous. biological substances on patients at the cock of regional, psychiatric clinical people were specifically selected for the experiments based on their age, nationality and immune status. the staff of the clinic signed a non disclosure agreements. we have numerous testimonies from witnesses of these in human experiments whose names we cannot disclose in order to ensure their safety . now the commands are off a rush as a nuclear biological and chemical defense forces that says that said the documents also identified specific officials who took part in the creation of components self

visa, biological weapons. now, he also added that ukranian specialists, supervised by their american curators, took war samples from ukraine's major rivers. now that was don, apparently, in order to determine dangerous pathogen sofa cholera cipher with fever and hepatitis. now, moscow believes that this research could be used to undermine the biological situation, not only in russia, but also in the blacks. i see the results, see in villaroo, smola and poland. now documents and other evidence from the supposedly he was funded laboratories in ukraine, also suggests that he was planning to use drones to deploy pathogens against the dung boss. republics, well, as against russia itself, as well. system issues and ukraine sent a request to a manufacturer to place aerosol equipment on the bay rock tar drones. russian

intelligence found 3 drones equipped with 30 liter spray containers. ukraine managed to purchase more than 50 such devices. now the united states has a long claim to that's allegations about the military funds, the buyer laboratories in ukraine are russian. this information in march, however, us said diplomats that victorian moulins testified before the senate, that the biological research laboratories in ukraine did exist. and that so washington was working with key of food. sure, that the materials of biological research do not fall into the hands of a russian. all forces still on other occasions, both washington and give have denied biological research for military purposes. will always a pleasure to speak to michael maloof, a former senior security policy unless than the office of the u. s. secretary of

defense. you are very welcome. if true, michael. the claims being made by russia could have extraordinary consequences. but are we likely to see an unbiased international investigation into them? unfortunately, what's being uncovered is, is mind blowing, frankly and, and contrary to international law. but you've got to determine who, who runs international law these days and the un, and i doubt that it will get any serious exposure and scrutiny, even though they will have the documentation to support these allegations. and they're very disturbing allegations. and when is your report pointed out when newland victorian newland raise concerns about those passages getting into rush and hands. that's an alarms here in washington because it, it has a, it has raise questions about what are we doing over there?

what is the, why is the u. s. exporting it's, it's any experimentation and biological warfare overseas. and the reason is because it's not allowed here. and so you've got these labs that are testing these various pathogens and, and if these allegations of testing them on, on people in ukraine proves to be true. that is around us and that, that is a war crime. that is a crime of some dimension. i think that needs to be looked at and scrutinized by the un generally. and i think those documents should be taken to the un security council. and even if the u. s. vito's, at least there's a, there's an attempt and it puts the us on the spot and, and not wanting to confront and address these allegations which are serious. and if the, if the documentation is there,

i say full speed ahead. with the information there, can we surmise the us would likely have similar labs on the doorsteps of other geo political rivals around the world? well, sure, and i think this you have, i think there are labs in tbilisi, georgia. i know there is a lab in your, in tbilisi and russians have raised concerns about it many, many times it comes under the authority of the defense threat reduction agency. but that's just a cover to allow this kind of activity to go on and they have never really been open. it us has never really been open. and certainly the defense threat reduction agency has never been opened about the nature of the biological work that's going on in the labs, either into police or in, in ukraine. and i think that we need that kind of exposure and

congress should be asking for that. but i think that they'll just stanford with all kinds of classification and, and will probably never see the light of day for the public. how much. and just to put it in context, michael of a security concern is all this. well, it's a, it's an end run of, of, of, of agreements that we hit longstanding, international agreements on chemical biological warfare. now they use some kind of nuance to say, well, this is an exception or this doesn't fit quite into that, this sort of that category. now the u. s. is contention is where we are, they're looking at these pathogens and they're and how to overcome them from, from spreading. but if, if, as your report proves to be true, that they are thinking of putting this an aerosol foreman and then spreading him

with drones that, that raises the anti considerably. and again, this is something that can be just talked about. it's gotta be dealt with upfront and the un security council needs to be informed and, and have a hearing on this thing. this is very, very serious because it isn't just in those 2 countries that the u. s. as these labs, they've got them in the asia, they've got them in other parts of eastern europe. so and the question is why, why, why so many labs and they hit the defense department is never answered that. and then in terms of a, the public what they know about it, we haven't seen a lot of reaction on the issue in the western media which comes in stark contrast. of course, the claims about chemical weapons leading to the us invasion of iraq is the western media. i let's, they're likely to pick up on the story at some point if the document, well,

it's like the biden da ca and that was proven to be true, but are, but the press here in the united states basically canceled it out from any, any exposure. if this, particularly if it affects adversely ukraine, i think western media will be prone to want to black it out and control that kind of news. we no longer have a free press in the united states for your information. so it's, it's, it's all managed by these high tech companies today. and unfortunately, this could be the case unless you get this before the congress and before the un security council. and then they have no, no choice, but to cover it and make something of it, particularly if the documentation can be authenticated. we wait to see what occurs, michael. thank you very much. former senior,

a security policy analyst in the office of the us secretary of defense, michael maloof. thank you unit. now the russian defense ministry house confirmed and the naval flagship. the moscow was seriously damaged this week after a fire broke out, causing some of its amunition to explode. that blaze has not been localized. its main missile armaments are not said to have been damaged. the ship in the black sea is not being towed to ports after its crew were evacuated to safety. the cause of the instant is still being investigated, but ukrainian officials claimed the cruiser was targeted by its missiles to the baffled runs in ukraine. ah, the russian ministry of defense has published salvage of anti tank missiles systems

involved in the fighting. and the video bottle. vehicles and troops provide cover by taking up key firing positions before it beating back ukrainian counter attacks . well, with almost the whole city of morrow you pulled now under the control of russian. anton yet forces are senior correspondent, rock as to who's been following bottles in the key port for some time, filed his reports on the latest developments. 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. they come here with their documents, with various identification, to get these permits that check with the people who submit these documents up. i actually the individuals written in them and they need these permits to avoid any misunderstanding. we must bear in mind that fighting fil rages and my real pull

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 bill that many people are having trouble with documents that they've lost them, bud in the files and the fighting them. we're carrying out a population census issuing people passes so they can move around the city. some documents always survive, we're using now. but even if people have no papers, their relatives can come to confirm their identity. understandably, there of course difficulties getting a city of running the size of mary you pulled from scratch from from the wreckage and the ruins that the cities currently in is, is a difficult task. everyone must be clothed. everyone must be fed kept warm. that is here of itself difficult, but getting everyone papers giving out papers, checking people's identities, especially given that people here are still in shock as still terrified from the

ordeal that they had to go through. and the treatment that they received from ukrainian nationalists, we've all heard that testimony. the entire population of mary, opal was held hostage. ukrainian nationalists would shoot at anyone trying to flee . the world hasn't seen the like since isis jihadist held hundreds of thousands as human shields in mo, self. what family will share with i'm around the corner in the afternoon opportunity for an interview with ryan williams of navy to let you know career opportunities to play with nursing, move my delivered it in through the doctor to look into other thoughts from with them. really mostly for criteria. i did a coil, you put renewable food. no, it's not for within akin, after closing a yessenia nipped shout,

every one here went through this, each and every one of them has their own horror story. but some haven't ended. yes . so you'd want to fed neosha, son didn't have any. yeah. holla, is they gonna look possible? there's no papa. so i was just all i, you know what? it's on as a 2nd here. it. you look at the river, what it's as a stance gain is a cookie, measured no more wearing expression of i don't ivy gilmore, but he shook up to see what your wish is. children, skita sh gets ye rich gibberish at us. the corporate need to do is just direct them to me, nick, who stood them when the game said, look to look up, what is the critical disposal for when you deal with people from all over the world have reached out seeking news of family and friends trapped in mary,

you pull these lists and permits being compiled now will help them more i'd gas d of r t for mario both india hit by washington after the us secretary of state said america was increasingly monitoring a quote, rise in human rights abuses in the country. new delhi question, the motives of the comments. look, people are entitled to have views about us, but we are also equally entitled to have views about their views and about the interest and the lobbies and the vote banks which drive that. so whenever there is a discussion, i can tell you that we will not be reticent about speaking out. i think this is nothing new america has been raising several of these things because they have one large issue is use a diplomatic and political to me who have blood pressure or do all can see that if you, if you don't, if you disagree with me and i will use this to keep up some pressure level with

india to show all the policies based on in the new me never, never you guys diplomas which the americans have got. we don't remember the human guy unless it is something that directly affects us. so i don't think the americans realize that it's not the country you can use you guys as a tool, but what i think what, what, what motivates them start? we normally don't care what this darn words in teams up cheers back in 2017. the former us secretary of state rex till her son issued a memo stating washington should use human rights as a club to beat its adversary's till her son prompted policy makers to close their eyes to human rights abuses in allied countries in order to deepen relations. but

at the same time, to collectively press emerick, his opponents over the same issue, washington's annual release of its country report on human rights practices flag the issues with india this year. and also china fishing was quick to respond saying the u. s. is in no position to preach the content related to china in the so called country reports on human rights practices and relevant remarks by secretary antony blink and misrepresent facts. confuse wrong with right. the u. s. government slanders and denigrates, china and attacks other places in the world by releasing this report every year attempting to style itself as a human rights judge and role model. this only serves to reveal its hypocrisy and double standards. i think it is increasingly evident that the united states wall to resort to cold war methods. and they want to divide the world into that brock which is aligned with united states and another block which is not aligned with the united states. i hope the united states government will really look at it.
