[000:00:00;00] a with germany is involved in the work of bio weapons labs and new crate together with its u. s. allies. that's the latest revelation coming from moscow on the west. it's a legit biological military activities in the region. an investigation claims the ukrainian secret service used guantanamo style torture techniques on political opponents of president vladimir the landscape. we speak to the author behind the probe, who says the practice was supervised by this. a has russian troops take control over most of the port city of mario full civilians begin to leave their shelters to receive aid following weeks of peers fighting

with wherever you are in the world, you're watching art international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program . now, russia's foreign ministry is claiming germany has conducted military biological activities and ukraine, whether it's u. s. counterparts. according to confront reports, germany closely cards needed its work on biological security with this american allies that established a network of at least 30 biological aborts. recently, crane ambition to their other activities, they were involved in dangerous research. the fact that it's official go is to improve the biological defense and security situation. the crane, particularly in the east of the country, gives rise to the rhetorical question of which border, the german military biologists consider an outer border for the purposes of their

professional interests. is that the russian ukraine border. how to bring us more on the story. we have our teas ears, donovan, the studio. so eager can you just bring us? what are the established facts about these bio labs and ukraine right now? well, it's hardly a secret. it's rather an open secret. that's how well the united states, they have an expensive and extensive program over establishing these biological labs all over the world. and ukraine got on the radar as on the raiders of this program more actively than ever. so, back in 2014, after the revolution of the uprising ousted the incumbent president, victor, nicole, rich and well, a much more pro western and pro american government was put in the key of. so essentially this is, this is what we've known. but now with the beginning of rush and special military operation in ukraine officials in washington, they are a little bit jumpy because now all the secrets have information that is inside of

those labs. it could potentially fall into the hands of russia. and according to the, you know, the latest revelations were made by the spokeswoman for the russian foreign ministry marie of the heart of his something else that she had to say. the white house, things that have fans, is the best defense and has lost yet another propaganda campaign centered on the false assertion that our country's efforts to draw the attention of the international community to the activities of the us military biologists in ukraine . our allegedly nothing more than a smoke screen, which they say moscow will try to use to cover up the potential use of biological or chemical weapons during the special meal 3 apparation that is conducted by the russian armed forces. so the general message by the united states is basically nothing to see here. move along, they're trying to draw attention away from all these labs as much as they possibly can and supported in this effort. they are by germany. and this is what concerns this is, this is a cause for concern inside moscow right now,

because it could potentially point to the fact that germany took part in this research in ukraine as well. well, you said the u. s. is trying to draw attention away from these bio labs, but have we heard any concrete statements from the united states or germany on this? well indeed, germany has tried to distance itself as much as possible by basically staying completely silent. as for the united states, they have repeatedly and in the past before the special operations, they have repeatedly admitted the existence of these labs and that they really don't want the russians to find out what exactly they're doing. they have a lesson. ukraine has biological research facilities. we are working with the ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of russian forces should they approach. so there you have it, but the russian military already has made some very disturbing revelations. for instance,

the russian military uncovered documents by the ukraine are showing that they reached out to turkey. the ukrainian officials reached out to you to the manufacturers of the by rock to on man drones and they try to find out a you can see the ex ups from the documents on your screen. if the drones can fly up to 300 kilometers away from the well, from the, from the control center. and also they can carry aerosols and it could be innocent . it could be just inquiries. but just recently, this is one of the drones that was discovered by the russian forces. and apparently it has the capability of carrying aerosols. and on top of that, they raise an established fact as well that the united states that they pay to a technology that would basically will allow for these drones for such a drones, able to carry aerosols to be manufactured at large. well, that sounds that it could like it could be dangerous for other countries in the

region as well. have we heard other reactions from the international community community? well, absolutely the and basically, while the united states are trying to push this to kind of, you know, sweep it under the rug other nations. they also fall, turning a blind eye to it after all they are, there are not, well, they don't share a border with ukraine, maybe like russia does. but china, which one most definitely doesn't share a border with ukraine. china is concerned about that. and the chinese, they have openly cooled on the united states to stop evading this conversation. may wadley, the united states has not yet given any convincing explanation. fritz by a military activities, undertaken consultation and co operation to address concerns is a requirement of the biological weapons convention. the u. s. has no right to reject discussions on the issue. u. s. remarks have so far been ambiguous and even self contradictory,

which roused greatest suspicion from the international community. so if there's one thing that is set in stone hayes that the united states, they do not want russians, the chinese, whoever, to find out what's going on there, except, except for them. and right now, there are 2 opposing forces, you know, acting against each other, the united states and its allies, trying to get this out of the media, limelight as much as possible. and russia and china who are pushing towards, well, basically pushing towards more, more information. and russia also on the ground ortiz is donna, thanks a lot for bringing us those details in the bio labs and ukraine. now, a new investigation has alleged that the ukrainian security service has been torturing prisoners of war and ukrainians. suspected of having pro russian sympathies, the report contains the accounts of people who shared their experiences. they used a lighter to heat up a needle than put it under my fingernails. the worst was when they put the 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 that if it wasn't for my 2nd passport, i'd be killed. i don't know how much that was to influence and scare me, or how much of it was real. currently, the s b u is rounding up. anyone 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 mc international and united nations that the ukrainian security service, the s b u. tortures prisoners. the cranium. secret services use of torture and prisons has been previously covered in reports published by the united nations as well as amnesty international. according to those reports, the s b u has a number of compounds in cities across ukraine where people have allegedly been detained and tortured for having pro russian views. reports author dan cohen also claims that the ukrainian security service was working on a plot to assassinate exiled opposition,

figure and leading journalist anatoly. shari is also a popular blogger whose back, who back in 2020, had already claimed zelinski presidential office, ordered his assassination. no, i could be a glove. this police report was written a few hours ago to spanish police. in this report, a man named alexander's old can states that he's got an order for a political assassination of a politician and blogger, anatole shari. according to his words, the assassination order has been given from people directly affiliated with the presidential office of ukraine. we need to see reporters asking the 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 u. s. 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 we've just heard about the threat posed to one opposition figure in the past, but another is facing issues right now. victor med veteran was arrested this week by ukrainian security services, and now his wife is asking british prime minister boris johnson, to swift, to swap detained british mercenaries for her husband. from 2018 until his arrest med va. choke was the chairman of a pro russian party in kiev. he played a key role in negotiations between ukraine,

russia and the people's republic of done yet can ganske. and his wife says the arrest was completely against the law. then they could get on to me. i'm not to go 5 of the vision, politician relevant of your great government ritual. i appeal to your for help in exchange and my husband horse illegally that then but keith authorities for political reasons and false accusations for citizens of your country. i then ask him and some pina. hello, this family and friends are i don't, i'm and song help me on victor. earlier russia said it to change several military personnel from nato countries, including 2 british citizens, aden, ashlyn and sean penner were fighting as mercenaries in ukraine. they were captured this week as prisoners of war and mario bull,

along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers. this comes also after boris johnson's flying visit to kiev, where he pledged to provide bore military aid to president lensky. there have already been several reports of british citizens fighting in ukraine. however, johnson himself has completely ruled out the possibility of british troops officially fighting in ukraine against the russian army. we spoke to a political scientist who believes that the appeal of med vitriol ex wife tours johnson is unlikely to succeed as the wes turns, a blind eye to political repression in ukraine. more man still med juke was a trump card. he was left for a later period. they somehow want to influence the determination of russia. ease the pressure in a military sense. they used him only when they were convinced that russia would not leave without a victory. the west will turn a blind eye not only to this case, but also to many other sins of key f. 2. in fact, this conflict is more between the west in russia and not russia and ukraine up but

the west, despite its democratic principles, will continue to support key in turn, a blind eye to zalinski, san glover. the russian military says it's prevented an attempt by key of to destroy a hydro electric power plant in the southern city of her song, to ballistic missiles were apparently shot down by air defense systems. and fragments of the missiles fell upon a residential area, damaging houses, and causing several casualties. the russian defense ministry stated the failed attack could have led to the uncontrolled flooding of multiple settlements in the region. we have yet to hear from key of about the incident, but one man did tell us about how his house was damaged by the strike. this is my house, that 7 in the mornings 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. what can i say?

thank you mr. zelinsky. the war and ukraine is not just a conflict between kiev and moscow for some, it's a fight for their national identity to speak their own language, or to heard from one such person named dmitri, was from mary opal and joined the done yet people's militia, 2014 to fight for his land. solemn nearby myself, offended when some people came to my city in 2014 and began to tell me what language i should speak, how i should live. we held a referendum. we want to be with russia. we are russians. mari opal has always been a russian city. we began to fight for our land 8 years of fighting. and finally now i've returned to my native land. i'm overwhelmed with emotions. for me there is great happiness. it's impossible to scribe what's going on in my heart. it's sad that the city is destroyed, but there was no other way out. and no one had the strength to wait any longer. i will rebuild the city. i'll be glad to put my whole soul into making it better. we are russian people. we can do it, they would not so many difficulties. the russian defense ministry has released new

footage of an advance of a column of russian forces in the hark of region settlements are providing humana, humanitarian aid, along with primary and advanced medical care. the picture show locals, greeting the column, which is protected by helicopter air support and tanks. meanwhile, in the devastated city of mario pl civilians are just starting to leave their basements after russian troops took control of most of the city. and he, people have been trapped in shelters with little food or water since the beginning of march and humanitarian aid is now beginning to get through as ortiz roman cultural reports. well, once again, we're here in the murray will. once again, we're 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 shoe in italian missions are here now trying to help these people out at a distance. you can see people are registering within you the next people's republic authorities a over there, people are receiving when it's aaron aid from other organizations. i hear we can see a field kitchen where locals are lining up in order to get well, their daily meal, subdural modernist rule. but while it but more than normal my, we're near me. yes. we do additional show you. what did you go to, which is luck and that he built those ashley williams value? would you jude with a d h? would you put the word though? is a clear book which thought were young in the world? digital phone? good news. i got there the way the way, what the deal will you need these and what would the yield of the room?

what would you like do it to one. 0 yeah. and what do you do of your story or do you go bridge? wister said jim, out of gun is a wireless voyage 11 or she mewing. dongle shipped from long island oak de mer jaelynn visited the immediately bow. a molla you do not belong to doraville a 3rd linda castillo, which is thrash number viola. stay on the sheila spawn 2 i la donna, she number on building, which is wrong. number 10 o'clock, 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. berman costs or have already done as people's republic. ah, waves of european sanctions against russia, affecting millions of people in the u as they collide with soaring costs. in the greek capital, members of trade and labor unions took to the streets on thursday to rally against

price heights and privatization. the country has taken an economic hit with the bank of greece, cutting its growth forecast to 3.8 percent and raising inflation predictions to 5.2 percent for the year. the officials say this could increase further. spanish supermarkets continued face shortages of certain products with sunflower oil milk, flour, salted rice, among the products in short supply. in march authorities temporarily rationed some food items to prevent shops running out completely amid the war in ukraine and a strike by truck drivers. we gauged the mood of the streets of madrid. 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 sugar. the sliced bread has

risen $0.25 1st $0.15 and then 10 in oklahoma. 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, sometimes pasta rice. every time i go shopping, i become more aware of the increase in products. sunflower oil is bought from 5 leaders. i always bought it at for euro's and $0.79. then i bought it at 6 euro's and $0.79, and today it is worth 16 euros and $0.80. senior us official has accused russia of driving food shortages in yemen and beyond laying. busy all the blame on moscow for the rapidly soaring prices being seen across the world. the world food programs march report, identified yemen as one of the countries most affected by wheat price increases and lack of imports from ukraine. this is just another grim example of the ripple effect rushes unprovoked,

unjust unconscionable war as having on the world's most vulnerable us as bassett, or to the united nations linked russia's actions in ukraine to yelman's crippling hunger crisis. at the same time, she praised saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for their humanitarian support to the country. though not mentioning that re ads, ongoing bombing campaign had allegedly targeted on purpose, food production sites and vital civilian infrastructure for more than 7 years. currently, up to 19000000 people in yemen are classed as food insecure and even more are in need of humanitarian assistance. with 3500000 women and children suffering from acute malnutrition. russia responded to the charges during the unit un session, claiming us sanctions have damage the supply chain and called global food. busy shortages, the main factor for instability and the source of the problem today is not the russian special military operation in ukraine. but sanctions measures imposed on

our country seeking to cut off any supplies from russia and the supply chain. apart from those supplies that those countries in the west need, in other words, energy. this is an outrageous accusation. the entire world knows why yemen has no food. it has no clean water. it has no medicine. and that is because of the u. s. back war, there is an old saying that if you repeat ally often enough, it becomes the truth. and i think that's what we're seeing here. this war in yemen, led by saudi arabia, participated in by the united arab emirates and with the military backing of the united states has been going on for a long time. and it's because these 3 countries just refused to accept the fact that the government of yemen has changed. now, what they are able to do in order to choke off the new government of yemen, is to stop shipments of food and medicine. they can bomb 24 hours a day, and that's exactly what they've done. they're hoping now that the world will be

distracted by another war in the ukraine, and will ignore the war crimes and the crimes against humanity that have been committed by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates in yemen. ah, jo biden's critics have been taking a swipe at the president's faculties once again claiming he looked last at the end of a speech by trying to shake hands with thin air. the president also claimed he had served as a full professor at the university of pennsylvania, despite never having taught a class with the institution. i lose. latest gaffe has unsurprisingly led to a flood of means appearing on line one, showing bite and shaking zalinski hand,

and another highlighting his apparent confusion while trying to leave the stage. it's the latest in a string of recent biden blunders. only last week, the president appeared confused, as he was apparently ignored at a white house event. ah, buttons also resorted to using what appears to be a cheat sheet when he doubled down on his apparently unscripted claim last month that russian liter, vladimir putin can not remain in power. the notes appeared to include questions expected from reporters, as well as the answers that biden should give. biden also used notes, identifying certain reporters since his 1st press conference as president. his approval rating is apparently also at the lowest level of his presidency so far

with the cnn pole of poles putting it at at, at less than 40 percent from a vice chair for the libertarian national committee. arvin bora thinks americans are increasingly beginning to question the president's ability to lead their country. there's a lot of things that are conveying the impression that there might be some sort of cognitive impairment, some sort of dementia. and the problem that we're seeing is not just the, the, the actual problem which, you know, we might have present that that's not fit to be president. but there's a secondary cover up that seem to be going on. you know right now, abide and dementia is probably one of the top google searches in the country. but if you type start typing by dimensions into google, you don't get the auto fill that you usually do for a highly popular search. so we're seeing not just the question on everybody's mind, but the fact that the answer to that question or information about that question seems to be be actively suppressed by the big tech companies that really back as president in the 1st place. basically, there are a lot of questions coming up of, you know, does he have the cognitive ability to do this job?

and again, this is not a partisan issue because if it's showing that he doesn't, the person who would take over it would be vice president harris who is also a democrat. so this is not a republican versus democrat or republican versus libertarian versus democrat. mean this, that the part is not going to change, but this question, it has become a question that you know, on the minds of the american people. and some people are seeing it actively. some people are maybe sort of subconsciously looking at it, which is why you're seeing his domestic numbers plummeting. if i had to guess, my guess would be that his born perception is also not doing too well, but at least domestically we see those approval numbers plummeting. because people have very real question about if you fit to even do the job. twitter is board members are set to block a hostile takeover bid by you long must come after he announced a plan to buy the entire social media platform. with all the details here is our t killed mountain. the billionaire alon mosque is talking about buying the top

social media app known as twitter. the u. s. political establishment is up in arms saying this is a threat to democracy. i am frightened by the impact on society and politics. if you on musk acquires twitter. he seems to believe that on social media anything goes for democracy to survive. we need more content, moderation, not less. their argument is, why should one man have so much power? for those of us who care about equity and accountability must appointment to such a prominent role and a platform that serves hundreds of millions of users daily is highly disconcerting . a slap in the face, even. it's a bit odd that they're so concerned about mosque when the washing post is owned by jeff days over the new york times is owned by carlo slim and mark zuckerberg owns facebook. i guess these ultra powerful american oligarchy are not a threat to american democracy, even though they all have a record of getting in a hot water over who they allow to say what on their platforms. but it gets better

. one of the major shareholders of twitter at the moment is a saudi prince. the very person who rejected alon mosques bid is the member of the ruling family of an autocratic kingdom. that is absolutely okay with regular mass executions. after all, jeff bezos, washington post accuses moscow racketeering. in his new attempt to take over twitter, ilan musk is turning to a bare knuckle tactic more common to the corporate raids of the 1980s. a hostile takeover bid last because now taking the opportunity to conduct some classic twitter style trolling free speech is essential to a functioning democracy. do you believe twitter rigorously adheres to this principle? most of these top accounts, tweet rarely and post very little content. as twitter dying is a new platform needed masks, rivals and the american billionaire aristocracy are now maneuvering to stop him

from taking control of twitter. amid this power struggle, the hypocrisy of many u. s. media voices is becoming very apparent kayla bobbin art a new york watching our to international. we'll be back with your world news in just about 30 minutes, so stay tuned. ah ah, need to come to the russian state to never. i've status on the most landscape development. i'm not getting calls, i'll slap a group in 55 when. okay, so my niece madeline speaking, when else call about with we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machines. the state aunt rush up to date and school

r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube and pinterest. and we could push it big if, if, if you click to chat with me, ah, i ah, dom option retention your what you're going on the ground,
