u. s. is expanding its intelligence sharing with you creating forces. this comes after the us senate select committee, urge the by the ministration to run for a strategic support. a just on 6 am on friday morning here in moscow. my name is peter scott, with all the latest news here on our international and where we traded in from it's great to have you with us. and we start with breaking news. this. our multiple explosions have been reported in ukrainian capital t f, as air raid sirens bled out across the country. it was also reported that most parts of the city were left without power. according to local media, citing residence is the most intense explosions in the region since the war began. meanwhile, har coverage reports on the heavy shelling and yvonne of a foreign coves,

which is in the west of the country. local media claim that the last major oil refinery in ukraine has been destroyed. local authorities in the brianne squeegee of western russia accuse ukraine of carrying out an air strike in the border region. the russian investigative committee claims it was carried out by to combat helicopters equipped with heavy weapons. a people including a pregnant woman and child a reporter to have been injured in the attack with 2 in a serious condition. authorities in the neighboring bell. good region also accused shelling with no casualties reported ukraine's national security and defense council rejects of the allegations of blaming russia for the incident. this comes amid warnings from the russian defense ministry. the moscow could target kids command senses if russian territory is a targeted region where we see attempts to sabotage and strikes by ukrainian troops on objects from the territory of the russian federation. if such cases continue,

the armed forces of the russian federation will strike the decision making sentence, including and care what the russian army has refrained from doing so, falls on your screens. you can see the aftermath of the legend shelling in body and the number of buildings and cars destroyed. emergency services are said to be working on the scene. currently, political and social comments and alexander pottage, cliffs these thoughts on the potential ramifications of this, allegedly targeting the entire strategy of the landscape. and i must say is western handlers is, can be summed up in 3 words. escalade technically an escalate. anything to drawing more weapons and to ukraine. anything that ah, digs an even deeper divide between russia, russians and ukrainians. thus the order of the day, say, now need of pictures. they need videos,

they need video clips of russia, marseilles hearing care, which they will immediately on broadcast over the western mass media showing that the russians are now barbaric the attacking civilian targets in historical here. you know, this is now now they're willing, obviously they're willing to yours. not only are ordinary people, civilians are also willing to their own capital city in order just to gain further sympathy for for themselves and to drum up more hates against russia. fight thing in the nearly destroyed ukrainian city of murder. you pull, continues with the russian defense minister, st. ukrainian troops have been surrounded. aussies rod goes dia takes a look at some apartments in the poor city where you, cranium, forces will hold up at every crossing on every street in every yard. the scars

of battle are apparent. and today we followed in the footsteps of ukrainian nationalists as they tugged people's homes into firing ranges. as ukrainian troops retreated deeper into the city. they would then we single residential building. they would break down the doors into apartments to set up new foreign positions. again, during fire on these apartments on themselves, leaving people with no way to leave. tens of thousands of civilians now live in the basements of their apartment blocks. it's warm of a one, but also much safer that up stairs. he is another apartment's in a residential building that ukrainian nationalist set up a foreign posted all over the pay all over the place, bullets empty shell casings, but also here a primed grenade

launcher. it has been prime to the as i said, it may have malfunction. but it would be very dangerous to touch it or disturb, but in any case, this is the job, the suppose the high you are, the better the view, the father you can see and shoot even if you have to climb over the heads of civilians. really, what is vicki? there were nationalist hiding up in the top floors over their lease snipers to one of them shot at people walking down the street where he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was in absolute shock. she hid in a local shop for ashlyn with coff. we sat in the closet and prayed to god because any one of those shells could have hit our apartment when we didn't understand who they were shooting at. there was no one here. no soldiers, no separatist of no russian troops. they just kept shelling here from the factory.

everywhere you'll find magazines unexploded shells, bullets, even grenades that failed to designate. and occasionally, the vile syringes and beals, that fueled nationalist regiments. here is another apartment broken into by ukrainian nationalist that had a great view out of this window and they set up a set up a foreign position here. a variety of caliber was empty shell casings, but also as in many places that we visited empty syringes, apparently the end of a vile here. no idea what this was put in. many of these places apartments, the where they were at station where they fall from where they have there been drugs that were seized by the, the nets police that have cleaned up the place off to them to an extent. but we know for a fact that euclidean nationalists are heavily dependent on amphetamines. this is something we had seen in syria in iraq, whether it was isis fight as will syrian rebels. they,

they would take these unsettled means and they could keep going without sleep without rest, without food or drink or, or water for days and days when we found drugs during the inspections captured, ukrainian soldiers admitted that they use drugs to make it easier for them to fight the population of marybell was always seen as pro russian by ukrainian nationalists . for years they try to have beaten bully loyalty into the locals. if a me them deliver to of my friends were having a drink and nationalists walked up to them and told them to say, glory to ukraine. one of them refused, so they broke his fingers. this isn't a story from the internet. this happened to my friend and the families to that, but that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habits of as of and other nationalist battalions. i knew from c, r,

we were all tattooed and they had these rituals. they had these torchlight marches over there. they also had rights. they even put up a fence so people wouldn't see what they were up to. the end result was utter disregard for civilians among nationalists, they never saw them as equals as fellow countrymen and women. but as fodder, human shields expendable bodies for the glory of ukraine, or i guess the of r t for mary you pull. 8 years ago, kevin asked what he called an anti terrorist operation in the dumbass. this was preceded by turbulence, events in ukraine's capital here known as the euro. my done rif in austin, looked back at the roots of the conflicts 80 years ago. ok of announced to what had called an anti terror operation against 80 then eastern most regions of denounced and logan's ukraine's own regions. the reason there disobedience to caves,

new rulers that came to power after the brutal events known as euro. my don and the overthrow of the president traditionally have enclosed ties with russia. the area known as don boss in east and ukraine, accused kids new authorities of a rooster fabia and refused to recognize them as a legitimate power. and to government protest raged in all major cities in the east here branded the regions separatists. when they entered tara operation was declared, i was in done yet, and 4 months later, and travelled all across don boss. it was a full scale operation with abbey asian tangs, heavy artillery and thousands of boots on the ground involved while it was supposed to target terrorists. innocent civilians, often elderly and kids, became victims of this blood emission the would you. ringback with you or do we need,

you wouldn't deal him with an issue with gabriel. call my or be, or bob weimer robert, browse quarter years ago when you of the brutal military operation against its own people, burned the bridges literally and metaphorically, for any peaceful solution between kia and the countries east. that tragedy in the black sea port of odessa became the final straw for 8 years, the slaughter of so many civilians in the dawn boss has got almost completely unnoticed by the international community. since april 2014, the ukranian side has been shelling residential areas in the 2 self proclaimed republics using heavy, offensive weapons. at least 5500 civilians have been injured. more than 2600

civilians have been killed. more than 2200 objects of civilian infrastructure were destroyed or damage. for 8 long years in russia called time off to time for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but that lead to key of always fell on deaf ears. amuse q. the minsk agreements were killed long before yesterday's recognition of the people's republic of dumbass and not by us, not by the representatives of these republics, but by the count authorities in kiev, ukraine's current president vowed to finally end the war, but escalations continued and hatred also grew the republics, backed into a corner, seemed to have little choice, but ask their big neighbor for protection, but helping them russia is also secure in its own borders and interests. mosca says ukraine strongly anti russia policies, and it's alarmingly fast, milder is ation posed a serious threat to russia's own national security. and it was determined to do

something about it that should give folks a demilitarization and denazi's application of ukraine or a compulsory component of the agreements we have today on both sides have lost many lives, both military and civilian, and seem to be close to losing hope for a quick and non military solution, the aim was to try to be empty. my movement, which was eastern ukraine, talked to print and yeah, which was interesting on the operational, the beginning of the search of april. is that what the security concept you're to make, the decision to stop is to terror peroration this year. a boss was at the table which is officially recognized. and so the question is, where the decision from ukraine or usa, from the point of view of her operation. this was a nice name to cover that they started to. i really don't want to call it and

teacher opperation somewhere because it was you don't pick, i deter operation with the tanks and planes to 2 cities. this was a walk from the very beginning, started by key against the dump us. after my done know, your trading government was able to make any decisions without the us 75 percent of the civilian casualties. victims of ukrainian arby. this is something leslie media doesn't want to show that we know that the u. s. a don't care what she will. again, victims look at the iraq or 600-0021 1000000 people. died of the operations of the u. s. a. and after that, but obviously the u. s. 8 wanted to warn you, said ukraine, for one simple reason from jude political interest of the u. s. u. s. wants to divide ukraine from russia. and what can the right to countries better than the civil war with ethical rushes to the door best against the crating government? or was the russian president, vladimir putin has slammed western states for delaying payments for russian energy

exports. the nurses were a failures in the payment of export supplies of russian energy resources, banks from unfriendly countries delay the transfer payments. i remind you the task has 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 in the foreign trade system. in the last month, the russian president ordered companies to switch to rouble payments for energy exports. that decision was met with a backlash from the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts and circumventing sanctions over there still no agreements among member states on banning russian oil and gas. but he may, putin also reiterated this an embargo on russian energy resources will primarily impact european citizens up with attempts 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, a constantly talking about refusing russian supplies which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves, primarily for their citizens. we spoke to steve and gadget a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. he thinks that european leads aren't fully considering the impacts of their policies on their citizens. these elites have the agenda that are quite the opposite from what the, the state interest will be additional sense or what the interest of their population are. so that is why they're ready to harm ovulation,

and their own economies only to confront russia for somebody else's interest. and we already see a way of protest, and i think this is only the beginning. this is only a little breeze compared to the hurricane that will happen. and of course the political hurricane which will fall out if they continue conducting there as a suicidal on policies. and unfortunately, this will hurt the average the average citizen of western european country. and i honestly don't see how this will change. i mean, i do see how it will change, but i don't know whether these elite can survive politically. what is going to come and what we will, we will see is more strikes or more civil unrest in western europe. that is provoked of course,

by this economic handbook being posed by the european countries themselves. the president of the european central bank has won sanctions on the war in ukraine are impacting the u as owns economy, trade disruptions and soaring energy commodity prices are facing the outlook for the region is continuing, fighting creates economic uncertainty. so davinsky takes a closer look. it's a storm warning for the urine project action is needed to tackle inflation or that could lead to loss of trust in the currency. and in the european central bank, that is the call from a former pcp executive b e c. b faces. the biggest challenge for any central bank that it could become in itself an important risk factor is not the only one wanting the cd to make a radical change. policies over inflation,

inflation was the sleeping dragon. this dragon has now awoken the e. c. b has contributed massively to this trap in which it is now caught because we're heading towards the risk of a stagflation. every environment. inflation measures how much more expensive effective goods and services have become over a certain period. higher inflation means that the cost of living is going up. so unless your salary also is increasing at the same rate, you're going to get less bang for your buck. now the c. b ames to keep inflation to plus 2 percent. but across the u, it's risen by plus 7.5 percent and some countries are experiencing even higher rates. germany's rate to inflation has also reached record highs. vendors at the nuremberg folk fest say they all feeling the strain of those increasing costs. most of you believe the energy costs, you can see it with the gas prices over 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 rising. but we are willing to 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 beyond foil. i mean, 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. now, while inflation is lower here in france, they still has being a traumatic rise in the cost of living too. and that scene is being one of the biggest single factors as to why the hard left and the hard right candidates scolded so well. in the 1st round all the french presidential election, though the war in ukraine has contributed to rising inflation. but then i mix of

higher inflation were already apparent in the summer of 2021. as the world economy was still battling with kobe 19. some economists say the c, b should have acted in raising interest rates back then. it is incomprehensible that the european central bank, unlike the u. s. federal reserve, is taking so much time with the monetary policy turnaround. i don't think it is helpful to wait so many more months, given current inflation rates and inflation expectations. i have been saying for more than a year that we have an inflation problem, a more rapid tightening of monetary policy. but you see, he says it's working on a crisis tools to support countries facing those. increasing boring costs is the rates rise. but the concern is that a little too late and a more radical approach may be needed. the longer the c b way,

the more difficult the calls may be to navigate geology. boesky asi, paris, the ca direct. so william burns confirmed on thursday. that's it's expanding his intelligence sharing with ukrainian forces. this comes after the u. s. senate select committee sent a letter requesting for more information to be shared with key if it is ortiz. caleb martin with more essentially you have the senate intelligence committee requesting that intelligence from the united states be shared with you crane. and they give a, an intended purpose what they're helping ukraine to do with that intelligence. and this is the words of the latter. as we watch russia turn its focus to southern and eastern ukraine, we urge you to ensure that our intelligence agencies proactively share intelligence with the ukrainians to help them protect, defend and retake every inch of ukraine sovereign territory, which includes crimea and the don bass. these stated goals, which essentially, you know, our effort to help you crane retake,

don bass and crimea flies in the face of peace talks. as these are one of the main points of negotiations with russia. and we also have gen saki, the white house spokesperson, claiming that the united states supports the b stocks piece talks to something we're always going to support the president, secretary of state or national security adviser always going to support and support the ukrainians in that effort. so we're having mixed messages coming out of washington on the one hand, it seems like they want to fight to the bitter, and they are holding onto some very extreme territorial claims on the part of the ukrainians. on the other hand, it seems like the united states is telling people that it does favor negotiations, and it does want the piece talks to move ahead. it does want to deescalate tensions in the country. so the united states seems to be talking out of both sides of its mouth at the moment, not a clear message about where washington stands in regards to the ongoing conflict. with the u. s. appears to be ramping up. pressure on countries that have so far

remain neutral over the war in ukraine, with cuba, cues of, echoing russian state propaganda. we denounce cuba, recycling and repetition of russia's false narrative about its war against ukraine to the cuban people in state run media outlets. this includes publishing recent stories that assert that the atrocities in butcher were manufactured in the cuban government statements. blaming the united states and nato for the conflict. cuba was among 34 nations, decided to abstain from voting on the you and resolution condemning russia. it was originally an ally of the former soviet union has long been at loggerheads with the u. s. and the president obama tried to reduce tensions. trump round top sanctions on cuba. an approach joe biden also has to be following cuba is just one of his slew of nations and the pressure avoids position on the war and ukraine. the washington post released and pad urging the u. s. depression, nicaragua, which has left this lead to the white house as openly condemned out of alignment with russia,

a professor of latin american and car beans. to these we spoke to say that lesson american states, a tired of us, had your money the united states as shooting themselves in the foot. every day. they're more isolated across south america or in the caribbean, people looking for a new way forward. they're looking for solidarity. they're sick of the i, m f in the world bank, dumb meeting, their natural resources, the labor market. they want another way forward, routing familiar with a history of us invasions occupations, unfettered, pillaging in exploitation. so many of these countries have remained neutral. they haven't taken, they haven't voted in the, in the us against russia for this very reason. they don't see russia, its chief enemy of humanity. they define the chief enemy of humanity as us

imperialism. the world health organization chief has said that the world treats crises differently depending on race. yet the people come short in documenting conflicts in the global south. i don't know if there were little really gives equal attention to black and white lives. the whole attention to ukraine is very important, of course, because it impacts the whole world, but even a fraction of it is not being given to dr. young and i've got to stand syria and the rest. a fraction. the w h o chief also notes and that's and he's home can see the, the opec in particular, the t great region. people right now it's risk of starvation. you said not enough is being given to them and they are short on humanitarian aid. this comes with china claims that the west has been silencing the cost of us led war in iraq.

afghanistan on the former yugoslavia. we spoke with a university of south africa professor who says race is an extremely easy and it's tricky, excuse me, linked to the issue of the to the dublin or chief was correct or state wide. yes said because the da da da da da da da. we find aust, especially as blacks in their coat, context of global politics where the color scheme that determines how you should be treat bend or your treatment. i did the g of awfully god. i did the t of solve on the other guy and 80 auto coordinates. what we find if people have a different color scheme that differently, they are disrespect that and there is no k in as far as the needs are

concerned. and i think he's justified based on our has not experienced as blacks and, but we only do god, it will fade out today. car. and in that has he's only bored by they are own interest to what he's there for them to get at this particular moment i just by to block our juncture. why do we know and i asked in the account of the day when the, when he's done, it dumps you because they were there by cheese, whatever they want out of that particular situation. and we want to experience it. see if you can, there's another dime they want to move away and move to the next target. well, that's how things are looking at $630.00. am moscow tie mine is peter scott. i'll be back again with more at the top of the hour. ah,

ah. ah ah, we'll just live when you got dora doris was no good, as she knows would you liam of shift illness. and you can say that those or more agreement that is here, though in yet i'm not sure the media issue. he's done really, peter than alberto see they've got but as either that they do kids what she has been submitted, the stablish,

not that i do so on the each those cuz they're not premier at law lucille yesterday, louis argued said lance, you're doing an unless she just that you'd also get hipaa did. she will get hipaa grandmother of to dad brought the obasi and my phone i do is but b u m o flew him, did you use them? was an ideal, a grown there glitch stood as listened monsieur balmer. the glitchy boy, he is through a wooden incipient. now bring it down, but he'll all. thank you, sir. doing you are growing. detach your sewing to his chair, but you might be away. so stuffy. bruce. the short straw saw it through the least billable my. yeah. but ominous breath. you, michelle american, the new system, the one, yes it was, you know, it's more of a new system that the, not the middle believe to more about it. but as it was not that about the for the most, the, even the in the school where she is a been where she is
