ah ah, is russian troops take control over most of the ukrainian port city of mount are you pull civilians begin to leave basement to get aid after a week with an investigation reveals a legit to plans by the ukrainian security services. ne zalinski is political opponents, delegations of torture detention center. we speak to the author behind the investigation on the u. s. says it won't return the frozen russian assets a private individual's back to the owners, even when the conflicts and ukraine ends

with the weekends just begun in moscow moneys pizza scotts, and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. here on oxy international, the russian military, he says he's prevented an attempt by key f to destroy a hydro electric power plant in the southern city of get a song to ballistic missiles were apparently shot down by russian air defense systems. fragments of the missile fell in a residential area. damage in houses with several casualties reported to russian m . o. d states the failed attack could have led to uncontrolled flooding of multiple settlements in the region. you have has not yet commented on the incident. we heard from one man whose house was damaged by the strike. this is my house at 7 in the morning. my house was hit by our glorious ukrainian military. i am not a military man. i am a civilian. i work as a grain truck driver. i love my country,

i was a patriot after this. i say, thanks mr. zalinski. and in the ukrainian city of matter, you pull, which has almost been raised to the ground. civilians are starting to leave basements as russian troops have taken control of. most of the city, many people have been trapped in shelters with little food or water since the beginning of march, and humanitarian aid is now making his way through ortiz roman casa reports from the city. well, once again, we are here in myrtle. once again, we are delivering humanitarian age, things like food, medicine, hygienic items, and basically anything else that people here have been lacking for the last, almost 2 months. as you can see, many parts of the city are devastated. people are on the streets, there is no electricity, no running water. and of course many she went italian missions are here. now trying to help these people out at a distance you can see people are registering with. then you don't ask people's

republic authorities over there. people are receiving humanitarian aid from other organizations. i hear we can see a field kitchen where locals are lining up in order to get, well, they're a daily meal, some drama madness room. but while it, but more than normal, my were near mediately with digital shocked me. what did you go to, which is logan that he built? those are actually losers value. would you jude with a, did you put the what though is a clear book which thought were young in the world? the digital phone? good news that the, the way it does, boy, what the deal will you need these and what would the yield of the room do you do it to one door, you know, leave your story or, and you would greet my associate americanism, wireless for is 11. assume you don't worship from long island, dr. man, gillian,

busybody, ball, mahler. you do not belong to doraville, toiling across the table, which is thrash number viola postilion, the sheila spawn to our la donna. she no problem be in the moon, john. no. mcdaniel. we will continue working here until the situation is finally over and of course, like many others will continue bringing necessary items that people here need. ramon cauthrin archie the next people's republic. a new report as a ledge to the ukrainian security services used to detention center to torture prisoners of war and ukrainian suspected of having pro russian sympathies. the report contains testaments of people who shared their experiences of detention in one such prison. they used a light to shoot up a needle that put it under my fingernails. the worst was when they put a plastic bag over my head and suffocated me. and when they held the muzzle of a kalashnikov rifle to my head and forced me to answer their questions,

it was like a small guantanamo. i was told if it wasn't for my 2nd passport unbuckled, i don't know how much of that was to influence and scare me. oh, how much it was real. currently, the s b u is rounding up. any one accused of sympathy for russia. so anyone who speaks russian, anyone who is, is thought to be in support of the russian offensive inside ukraine is likely to be put into this torture prison and interrogated and beaten my investigation contains testimony from 2 men who were tortured inside the s b. u. headquarters and a sports complex or gym attached to it. and they gave me accounts of extreme torture. beatings where,

where prisoners were bleeding from their mouth. one man had hot needles stuck under his fingernails. he said that there were 2 men from the russia who were tortured to death. so it's clear, and it's been documented, not only by myself, but by amnesty international and united nations that the ukrainian security service, the s b, you, torture is prisoners. ukrainian secret services use of torture in prison has been previously covered by the united nations and amnesty international reports. and according to those documents, the s b, you have the number of compounds in several cities across ukraine where people are allegedly being unofficially detained, unfortunate having pro version views, which was the author of the report. don cohen, who said such practices should have consequences. we need to see reporters asking lensky, where are these prisoners who have been disappeared?

and we never, and we've never heard from again. and if they've been killed or tortured, as they obviously have their need to be, these are, these are crimes that need to be, there needs to be accountability for them. this sort of torture fits a geo political agenda in support of the united states and european union against russia. and so, well the us and you claim to be supporting democracy and, and for freedom it's obvious that you know, anyone who's unlucky enough to end up in one of these torture prisons may not come out alive. so there's a very clear double standard, and this has nothing to do with human rights or democracy. it's all about us, empire. while i'm talking of the u. s. america says it's will not be returning the frozen assets of private russian individuals back to their owners. even in the

conflicts and ukraine ends all the correspondence. rachel blevins has more. that's loading was part and parcel of medieval warfare. you came, you still, you left. but even with the introduction of new weapons of technology, it appears that the practice of looting is just as much a part of 21st century warfare president is actively looking at how we can deal with the fact that as we seize these assets, our goal is not to give them back. our goal is to put them to a better use than that bike. i'll be careful and what i say today because there's an ongoing kind of policy process around how we end up dealing with that question. but rest assured that the goal is not just to sit on them for a while and then pass them all back. the white house hasn't officially stated the total where the russian assets these by the us and its allies. but in addition to

more than $300000000000.00 in foreign exchange reserves, they also include yachts in real estate and other countries. but now washington is saying that it has no plans to return the private private individual back to their owners even when the conflict and in any other circumstance that would be considered. and the person who did it would be charged accordingly. but it seems as though when you are america, you can do whatever you want and then do it over and over again. after all, it was washington last year, the prose, $7000000000.00 where it's not dennis stands assets. after the taliban came sweeping to power, that coupled with crushing things should lead to a humanitarian crisis. that is put millions of people at risk in response, trying to call out to her policy from the us without the consent of the afghan people. the u. s. willfully disposes of assets that belong to the afghan people, even keeping them as its own. this is no different from the conduct of bandits.

this latest example has once again laid bare that the rules based ordered. the u. s . claims to champion is not the kind of rules in order to defend the weak and uphold justice, but to maintain its own had gemini. and that's not all following the 2003 invasion of iraq photos service showing us soldiers posing with gold bars, which the us military quickly claim was part of a $500000000.00 stash found on the truck during a routine traffic stop. however, it was a different case for the, for us soldiers who were arrested after and they were you trying to steal $1000000.00 worth of assets from saddam hussein's palace in baghdad. just one month later. as for what happened to all of that gold? well, we may never know, but the us didn't stop their back in 2011 or rock submitted a letter to the united nations calling on the us to return $17000000.00 in profits from the sale of a rocky oil, which washington had originally promised would be given back to the country for

reconstruction effort, all indications are that the institutions of the united states of america committed financial corruption by stealing the money of the iraqi people which was allocated to develop iraq. and that it was about $17000000000.00. the department of defense itself admitted in a 2011 audit report that it had lost more than $6600000000.00 worth of iraq's oil and gas money with a special inspector general for iraq reconstruction, calling it the largest active funds national history. plus, there was only after 18 years of the u. s. finally agreed last year to return more than 17000 stolen artifacts to a rock after they were looted from the countries, museums by the u. s. military, another oil rich country that is received similar treatment is syria. but in that case, former president trump never hit is mode it when it came to plans for serious natural resources. we're keeping the oil. remember that i've always said that keep the oil

. we want to keep the oil $45000000.00 a month. we secured the us military still has troops station in syria's northeast region. as report suggests, the oil continues to be smuggled from the country with the help of those us forces . and on that syrian president, bashar assad says there is one major reason. it's about money and it's about oil. of course we're angry. every syrian is angry. this is looting. it was the same in libya with the u. s. and the u. k. freezing nearly $50000000000.00 worth of the countries assets in 2011 and then refusing to give the money to the libyan people. following the overthrow of mo, mark adolphe and venezuela were the us for more than $340000000.00 worth of the countries assets in 2019. and then announced that it would release $150000000.00 to our position leader, one by doe. and 2021 who washington recognizes the country's president,

even though he's an elect, it in their criminal adventures, to plunder venezuela's gold, oil, and other lucrative resources. both britain and the u. s. are exposing themselves before the entire world as having no interest at all in supporting human rights freedom and democracy in venezuela. on the contrary, both britain in the u. s. continued to demonstrate their utter contempt towards the venezuelan people and their right to determine their own future so much for role based order and so much for the american constitution as the us has shown time and time again, that when a legislative and freedom and democracy in a country would, it actually means is that it plans to seize and control the assets of the people, leaving them was a humanitarian crisis. what you're seeing is kind of like the equivalent of a major, abusive policy that's been happening in the united states for decades now. called eminent, sorry, called what basically what happens when, when, if somebody is accused of a crime, their assets without the, they're not,

they're not, they're not convicted. if they're accused of a crime, their assets can be taken. and that's kind of what you're seeing over here. but i'm not even sure there is an actual accused of accusation happening, but rather people property is being stolen, so it's not new, but it is absolutely morally disgusting. it is absolutely reprehensible. it goes against the spirit of american law. it just goes against the spirit of law. generally. i mean, the most basic part of law is that if somebody is accused of a crime, they're accused, then they have a trial, then they're found guilty or not guilty. and if they found guilty, yes, they might lose some property. that's part of law. but doing that without a trial isn't a law that's barbarism. an attempt to quickly coach reliance on russian oil and gas could cause recession and res poverty within the us. a warning from experts you politicians urging citizens limits energy use and replace private cars with public transport in order to quote, punish putin shall davinsky reports. germany may not be big enough to put an

immediate hold to all of those russian energy imports, which is the call from ukraine's president zalinski. but it is now asking citizens to do their bit to stick it to president putin. now, how can they do this? well, the biggest suggestion is at les could cut down on energy, you spine around 10 percent. so how exactly could they do that? it starts with personal behavior. if you heat your home and draw your curtains in the evening, you save up to 5 percent of energy to low the room temperature by one. see it's around 6 percent. well, germany has been one of the last holdouts in the european union in regards to that immediate band of russian energy and with good reason to at leading economic in states have said that if it did that, it would lead the country into a shock processional. we've heard over the past few months from german ministers

saying that it would also lead to mass unemployment and also widespread poverty in the country. however, germany has been doing what it can to reduce its dependency on russian energy. at the moment it sat around 40 percent, that is down from 55 percent before the war in ukraine started. now the cutting of energy. this is just the latest of suggestion of ideas that are coming up from politicians across the u. here in france, we've heard from the economy minister suggesting that people perhaps could dial down the thermostats in their homes by one or 2 degrees. and on warmer days there is also this option. you can do 2 things ah, control your own and your teenagers are showers. and when you turn out that would you say, take that putin. so what more could people do to stop funding? preachings war? well, the war and sanctions itself already had a pretty big impact on certain products. sunflower,

oil bought good russian steel. so outside this idea of oil and gas, what else could people be looking to? well, it's pretty obvious also, it's precious metals. some 46 percent of global exports of palladium come from russia and germany import some 25 percent of its palladium from russian mines. what's palladium used for? well, everything from catalytic converters to dental fillings, to electronic components. it has massive wind spray use. then let's have a look at nickel. this makes up something like 39 percent of imports into germany, came from russia back in 2020 nicholas used for everything from batteries, to mobile phones, to cutlery. so the reality is, if you really want to make a huge contribution at the moment, turning down a thermostat,

maybe one thing having cold showers is another. but maybe you could think about foregoing that next mobile upgrade in the greek capital, members of trade and labor unions took to the streets on thursday to rally against price hikes and privatization. the country has taken an economic heads with the bank of greece. cutting is growth forecast, a 3.8 percent and raising inflation predictions to 5.2 percent for 20. 22. the officials say this could rise over in spain. supermarkets continue to face shortages of certain products with sunflower oil milk. flower salts on rice among the groceries in short supply. in march or authorities temporarily authorize the rushing of some food items to prevent shops running out completely mid to warn ukraine and a strike by truck drivers are correspondence votes. people in the streets in madrid . you said living costs are, are pacing their salaries. oh,

it's sad. politics is ruining us a lot oil, mainly oil flour, rice, mainly the cost of living has risen by at least 30 percent and salaries are the same. gasoline and diesel have risen $0.20 at once. i have to come every day to see if they feel the shelves for the most common milk, oil and sugar. the sliced bread has risen $0.25 1st $0.15 and then 10. we worry if there is a shortage. what do we do next? and the worrying is that when products are missing, the prices go up. i'm latin and i cook more with sunflower oil than with olive oil, some times pasta rice. every time i go shopping, i become more aware of the increase in products. sunflower oil is bought from 5 liters. i always bought it at 4 euros and $0.79. then i bought it at 6 euros and $0.79. $7.00, and today it is worth 16 euros and $0.80. well,

another news also um says 20000000 people across east africa are at risk of extreme hunger due to the conflict in ukraine. countries in this region in port 90 percent of their weeds from ukraine and russia. the repercussions of the ukrainian conflict on the global food system will reverberate around the globe, but it is the poorest and most vulnerable people who will be among those hit hardest and fastest. rising food prices are a hammer blow to millions of people who are already suffering multiple crises and make a huge shortfall and aid potentially lethal. well, sanctions against moscow on helping either russia is the world's top. we take supporter shipping around $38000000.00 tons of the grain last year alone. the country is also the world's biggest supplier, fertilizers on exports, many chemical components needed for that production. moscow says western sanctions are damaging global supply chains and financial channels also facing exports. meanwhile, president putin has already said not all countries will be able to purchase the

required amounts of fertilizers this year. you said developed countries had made errors, neck and nomic energy and food policies over the last 2 years, leading to a sharp rise in food prices. you can also claimed western nations will try to re direct food supplies to themselves, leaving others vulnerable to the food crisis. we spoke to people in kenya, one of the countries facing a shortage of some products and rising living costs. and some said they couldn't afford 3 meals a day. having him cried yet we are living in a difficult moment here in kenya, and everything is shooting up in price, getting daily bread or even meals for a day. as a miracle, there is a shortage of foods, especially for people like us who depend on hand to mouth where russia has been highly boosting the economy of our nation and wheat from there is used in making animal fields. may be. that is why all this is happening today,

of course. so when emma, we'd floor as not affordable. and especially for us who live on the outskirts of the nairobi area. we don't have permanent jobs, and yet we must provide for our own families at home. politics and war and other places like ukraine has played a major setback in our suffering of that i should a, oh my god, if it's true, not every one is capable of having 3 meals per day. and as you can see in my shop, i don't have much stock, even sunflower oil in wheat flour, nowhere to be seen. things are getting worse on a daily basis. a man in my day, a metal it affording free meals in a day. no, not yet. the little money i get can only sustain me for a day, then i look for another alternative, either visit a friend of mine at least to share a little, but failing that, i will sleep hungry. oh no, no. over in pakistan, the former opposition party supporters as celebrating the overthrow of ex prime minister in ron khan, who was ousted by parliament in a no confidence votes. meanwhile,

the embattled politician continues to hold public rallies since leaving office. thousands took to the streets and clashed with police. the the prime minister claims washington wanted to thim remove, maintaining an independent foreign policy. the country still faith is a constitutional crisis. when con, calling on people to take the street address of the new government to hold the elections, claims the legit imported new government is unacceptable. my fellow package tony's this is my message for you. as long as this government doesn't announce elections, we will force them for election. you have to carry on, protest in the streets. imported government is on acceptable. calm was replaced by shabazz sharif through is not new to politics. is both his brother, excuse me, was prime minister to before he was found guilty of conceiving assets in 27 seen.

meanwhile, the white house has already warmly welcome the new leader. the united states congratulates newly elected pakistani prime minister shabazz sharif. and we look forward to continuing our long standing cooperation. we view a strong, prosperous and democratic pakistan is essential for the interests of both our country's research fellow out to the university of the whole sub tain ahmed door believes cons. political views on the development of his country went aligned with u. s. foreign policy, political unrest, embark hassan is basically a civil unrest. all the photos are feasible. there's nothing out. you know, we have not seen anything like in the market is through. there is nothing that has been burned by the public. they are not ready to accept that important government, which every single focused on you saying that it has been changed by the united states. and this has been the month of the united states through the demo for the pieces that they do not want to see any system replacing the secular hughes that

democratic teases in any particular country, even in the state like focus on which forms it's true. movement of history on the ideology of islam because it was made on the ideology of islam, sou prime, the cerebral constance of having an independent foreign policy. and having a thought of reviving the islam and constituting it to the state level is seriously a threat for the united states. or shouldn't grandmaster so gay cardiac when he was suspended from participating in international competitions by the international chess federation for his views on the warden, ukraine has met young chess players from the dumbass in moscow. youngsters were on an excursion in a chest museum when they met the grand master, who held singleton his games on 20 boards and left autographs for the children.
