house, we looked out of the window, there was dust everywhere and then it started shaking. i went to another house, there was black smoke there. that was the one that was burned down and where a woman was injured. and vladimir putin, slums, european countries for delaying on energy payments. and the european people will be the ones hardest hit by the anti russian sentiment, their leaders with welcome to the weekly here on our international mine is peter scott bringing the stories that shapes the week. but 1st, let's start with the latest updates from ukraine. the russian defense ministry has said it is almost taken the port city amount of you pull, which is almost being completely devastated by the fighting. is that the remaining forces of the us of battalion surrounded in the besieged city steel of a tree and given them the chance to surrender on sunday is our season roman quarter

with more. hi lindsey this says he has been devastated by the fighting. at the moment sir. ah, most of the fighting is taking place at the us all fuss thought. metallurgy, a plan. that's where the us all battalion and other ukrainian forces have been the holds up. well, we've heard statements so from the russian defense minister, earlier, where the cold on the remaining forces that have been hold up in the besieged sea city of maria, pull to a lay down their arms and surrender to the dentist, peoples republicans. a russian of forces, not they have all been guaranteed as safety if they accept this proposal and come out with the white flags arranged now. moscow terms, moscow's service of surrender. i have been broadcast will continue to be broadcasted in the 30 minutes interval intervals for throughout the day on

notifying the military that is still holds up at the a sofa style missile as your plan said to come out and surrender. here's, here's the statement. the content of radio interceptions indicates that the resisting militants are in a hopeless situation. practically without food and water, they persistently demand permission from the official authorities of kiev to lay down their arms in surrender. at the same time, representatives of the ukrainian authorities categorically forbid doing this and threatened with subsequent executions under the terms of war time. now of course, so fighting continues along the rest of the front line here in the dhs and netscape people's republic, including here in dennis can all the areas as well. well, a russian defense minister free is also holding on the rest of the ukrainian forces to follow suit and lay down their arms. we appeal to all servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine and foreign mercenaries,

with the cynical attitude of the key of authorities such an unenviable fate awaits all of you. given this, do not test your fate. following the example of the mary you, paul, tragedy. but take the only right decision, stop hostilities and lay down your arms. now, wherever your curators force you to fight for the ideas of naziism. now back to the says he offer mario full wall. that place saw some of the most, the fierce fighting with being the combined forces of than as people's republic and russia against the ukraine. sen nationalists, the battalions and the regular army, now ukraine's president's vladimir, as lensky made a briar at santa trying to show that his country's forces were still in control of the city, the destruction of all our guys in mary u. paul. what they are doing now can put an end to any format of negotiations. i think it is their big mistake to say that they really want to end the war. so 4000

self civilians have been killed in the city of murray all alone. now russia and then is people's republic. so officials claimed that these civilians have been used as a human shields by the nationalist as all battalions in the fighting well for the last week or so. they have been, holds up the style, metallurgy plants and other areas at the moment. russian defense ministry claims that the entire city has been well freed, according to them from ukraine's forces and nationalist battalions. however, some elements are still holds up within that plant. residents of matter, you follow being queuing up to receive much needed humanitarian aid. this comes after fighting is reported to stop in residential areas and is now confined to the industrial outskirts of the city. douglas, good to 30,

i'm under will follow the entire urban area of marine polis completely clear to the militants of the neo nazi. as of battalion foreign mercenaries and ukrainian troops or the remnants of the crating group, a county completely blocked on the territory of the avar style metals plants. there any chance to save their lives as to voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender . during the liberation of mary pole, 1464 ukrainian salesman have already surrendered. the number of those surrendering is increasing daily, including those who escape from the territory all van crystal to day the losses of ukraine amount to 23367 people don't. don't remember to gather the announcement by the russian ministry of defense would mug a milestone. that's the beginning of the end of the battle of mary. you will because it was the urban combat raging throughout the city. that was the worst of it. the most brutal part of the fighting residential building to residential building. busy where,

where tens of thousands of civilians were held hostage by nationalists who shot as anyone trying to escape from the city. people were confined to their apartments, to basements, as fighting above them, a rage assa. i'd have ferocious in a terrified pace. nevertheless, with the announcement that the city proper had been the liberated from nationalists and now that the fighting will be concentrated on the as of steel and the ard works industrial complex that'll be of relief to civilians who are no longer at threat. because the compound wall, these vast, it is devoid of civilian infrastructure of residential buildings. nevertheless, it will still be a difficult flight. there are miles and miles of tunnels and the underground flaws . areas spanning the entirety of the complex which will have to be fought over

again. earlier i wrote thoughts on the bits of flies and in the city and how nationalists used people up a people's apartments as firing stations 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 turned 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 live. 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 upstairs. he is another apartment in

a residential building that ukrainian nationalists set up a firing posted all over the pay all over the place, bullets empty show 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 a job for suppose the hi 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 would this be with you thought or were nationalist hiding up in the top floors over their lease snipers to one of them shot at people walking down the street when he just kept shooting but missed a young woman walking by was in absolute shock because she hid in a local shop freshman with cough. we sat in the closet and prayed to god or 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, love, no russian troops. they just kept shelling here from the factory. you go everywhere, you can find magazines unexploded shelves, 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 nationalists that have a great view out of this window and makes 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, he had no idea what this was, but in many of these places, apartments the where they were at station where they fought 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 you pay the national, it's a 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 on set him means, and they could keep going without sleep without rest, without food or drink or, or water. for days and days renew. 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 mary upa was always seen as grew russian by ukrainian nationalists. for years they try to beat him bully loyalty into the locals. if a music deliver it to of my friends were having a drink and nationalist walked up to them and told them to say, glory to ukraine. one of them refused emily, so they broke his fingers. this isn't

a story from the internet. this happened to my friend in familiar to that, but that went both ways. the civilians here never understood the fanatical habit sir. as of and other nationalist battalions. i knew bumps. yeah. 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, where i had gaz, d. r t for a mary, you put russian air defense systems were triggered on saturday in the border city of belgrade, in response to what the m o d claims was. the ukrainian strike locals reported through explosions that could be heard in the city center. and witnesses also posted

a video footage of what appears to be russian interceptor rockets in response to ukraine's a legit actions on russian territory. a military facility in the outskirts of kia has been targeted. the plants was said to produce and the aircraft and anti ship missile systems. the russian defense ministry is that it will directly respond to any attack on russian territory room if you would have to give you the wrong. the number and scale of missile strikes on targets in kiev will increase in response to the key of nationalist regime. committing any terrorist attacks or sabotage on russian territory, wasn't it? we spoke to former marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who thinks that russia hasn't demonstrated its full military capability yet. i think some people forget that this is not a war. this is a special military operation, and what that means is that russia is not bringing to bear the totality of its

power. that this is a very measured campaign by the russian military to carry out a limited set of objectives. ukraine, on the other hand, appears to be engaged in total war against russia. and i think they have been lulled into a false sense of complacency because they have interpreted russia's special military operation as a total war against themselves. i think russia may have to educate ukraine as to what more can be done against it, to help deter, you know, ukraine carrying out attacks on russian soil. there is, there are consequences for your actions. and if you train wants to expand the war, i think they shouldn't be surprised when russia escalates it's response. well, that's escalates a response from moscow fall as early as strikes on the brown skin belgrade regions of western russia. the country as acute ukraine's on forces have been behind them,

but the 20 minutes is not yet commented on those incidents. the russian investigative committee claims the air strikes were carried out by to combat shop, as equipped with heavy, offensive weapons, leaving at least 8 people, including a pregnant woman and child injured in the shelling. on wednesday, the russian defense ministry said the moscow could target his decision making sense is, if you can't keep the talking russian soil, we heard from some locals embryonic this enough love cell is we've been through a lot of cried a lottery. everything has been exploding. there the neighbors have a bomb creator. the house was also here to the beams, broken the barn, elbows loo. when there was an explosion, i was lying on the couch. glass rained down, i fell to the floor, flowerpots that were on the window sill, fell on me a yard. do me, bill. i was in the house. then i went out on the porch. it's good that i didn't reach the gate, otherwise i would have been lying here. when i came out, i saw a blast wave that was like this way. will you do me? we were in the house. we looked out of the window. there was dust everywhere and

then it started shaking. i went to another house, there was black smoke there, that was the one that was burned down and where a woman was injured. the wife of ukraine's opposition leader has us british prime minister boys johnston, to swap british mercenaries for a husband. the sort of mitigate joke was arrested this week by ukrainian security for services from 2018 until his arrest midnight troop was the chairman of a pro russian party in care of. he played a role in negotiations between ukraine, russia and the people's republics. i've done yet, scandal, ganske and his wife says the arrest was completely unlawful day and they could cram in as could duncan and her telemachus governor of their physician validation parliament day of your grand individual. i appeal to you for help in exchange in my husband, hawes england, then birth keith, a purchase for political reasons and false accusations for

citizens of your country. i hadn't asked him and some pina. hello, family and friends. return item and song held me ripped on victor. earlier russia said it's hard detained several military personnel from nato countries, including 2 british citizens. aden oslyn was captured after joining the ukrainian army. and please bear in mind that the following statement could have been given under duress will be sent to you, not someone you will fail for me. i'm really trying to build a minimum region. i think you're correct from day one. when we went to matter you pl. i always said like, we need to leave because because as i said before, done thus, right is recognized as independent and hands as well. and if, if ukraine really wanted to avoid this conflict,

they could have easily just said ok, we will leave, we will recognize independence. fortune beginning ukraine was good side wouldn't then eventually pay, see, they don't make the right decisions. that would end war good. a good example was how to media every time, new part of media they, they didn't want to negotiate with steps that could help. and the war like peacefully, it was like 1st time seeing reality may looted from like supermarkets, like civilians need food like survive after like in circles. and so they would take like food from the supermarkets,

they would stop civilians from going out to get water like making a supermarket that was being looted. they would stop civilians from taking like water. so stuff like that which they themselves were taken. champagne was also captured this week as a prisoner of war and murder. you pull along with hundreds of ukrainian soldiers who we were in the factory or mary or full in early i was a tuesday morning. it was decided removed from phone from the areas the factory, but we didn't know exactly where about 4 in the morning. we left the factory in vehicles come out. this comes after boys. johnson's flying visits a kiev, where he pledged to provide more military aid to the ukrainian president vladimir lensky boats. the british pm has ruled out the possibility of british troops officially fighting in ukraine against the russian army. meanwhile,

the russian foreign ministry spokesperson said the p. m. was aware of the situation surrounding those u. k. nationals. boris johnson recently visited kiev is certainly aware of the situation surrounding the u. k. nationals, he will respond soon and live trust will tell you what the british were doing there . but my son was sure to by and large soleski has a free hand today to find the strangle political freedoms in ukraine with so lensky could not have an honest and democratic dialogue with the victim adventure in a fair political competition. in fact, we see a typical dictator in the center of europe and unfortunately today, but as far as a macro and other european leader will turn a blind eye to this. they see it like this. so if he does something back to russia, then this is our guy. such reasons they will turn a blind, died political trials to the arrests from an opposition political leaders such as victim advocate unto the activities the nationalists and radicals. a lot of humour

inside the army the head of the european commission has said that the use considering the 6th round of russian sanctions, which will potentially target the energy sector, including the oil industry. that's after the mid putin earlier slums from nations for delaying on payments. russian energy. this is with a flood or 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 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 in the foreign trade system. in almost a month ago, the russian president ordered the states companies to switch to payments in roubles only for russian energy. the decision was met with a huge backlash from the west, which accused moscow of breaking contracts, answer convincing sanctions of this don't know,

agreement among member states on banning russian oil and gas. but im abuse and also reiterates that that's an embargo on russian energy resources will primarily hit 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, you're paying countries are constantly talking about refusing russian supplies. which further destabilizes the market and inflates prices themselves. primarily for their citizens. well meanwhile, the head of germany's federal network agency, which overseas the countries energy needs recently claimed that if russian gas applies are coats of berlin, germany's reserves will only last until this autumn form austrian foreign minister carrying canal told archie would be hard for germany to deal with the consequences

of cutting energy imports from russia. the impact will be much larger than just the old metaphor that people might freeze on all 3. should bear in mind that it's all all about the commodity, natural gas for electricity generation german government is taking also. administrative legal steps in preparing a gas supply emergency situation is even talk about nationalized ation consultation or russian property. we can't imagine i would say the ultimate outcome. you can see how pressure is filled up against germany within the european union. it's not only from us, from your brain or by public opinion, it's really from within the european union. really to right now is how will it be accomplished?

then germany resigned to the fact that it has to agree on that and post on gas embargo by the european union. it's not a very long time. i would say everybody was stuff and everybody's already suffering over to india now, which is received a shipment of russian s $400.00 defense missile systems. major corporation between the 2 states is continue enough despite pressure from the u. s, which is urging the country to distance itself from moscow. we obviously would prefer that india move away from their long term history of non alignment g 77, partnership with russia. now india has repeatedly said it has a neutral position towards the conflict between russia and ukraine and as me to maintain dustin's despite us pressure, russia and india is close. relationship stems from the cold war ortiz. donal call to discussed with our guest the way india is striking,

a delicate balancing act between washington and moscow. united states has gone through this period of unilateralism, especially after the collapse of the soviet union. and they did exactly what they wanted in various parts of the go. but then this off on reverse after it was including it all. and then, you know, gone just on and you do that moment is all but now is with all the sanctions that goes on rush up. most of the world is not in favor of this. and i would say that in fact, the sanctions are causing a lot of misery with potentially cause a lot of the all over the go. because of distractions then, means will be found to go around the sanctions that has happened in the case of donald and russia. what we may buy from russia in a while in one month, you're a biased in one afternoon from russia. so therefore,

to tell us that your financing war is ridiculous. do you think that these western sanctions on russia are ultimately going to result in a new world order? no, i think that they're going to destroy the basic economy of well, europe. since europe is still attached to it in the energy sector and in the agriculture sector to import from russia, it's going to create a disaster in europe with political consequences. it's not going to change. it's not going to be a new order. it's going to be something even worse than that. washington wants india to turn it back on russia. why do you think it's so important to the u. s. united states. and decide what should be, want to see a long standing audition with russia meet certain specific needs. there's no reason why we should sacrifice our specific needs in our relationship with russia, who usa,

usa doesn't offer guidance from us. this from us as to what they should do, they do what they want in terms of what the national interest are. and we will do what we need to do in terms of our national interest. we don't see our relationship with united states as much as a 0 sum game and, and united states is no one to tell us what should be our foreign policy of how we should pursue our national interest. and united states should be little more understanding and accommodating and not play this game that either you are with us or against us. this is a cold war thinking this is not modern take, i made western calls for de escalation of the u. s. ukrainian crisis there also, they also seem to want to do anything to harm russia, no matter what the cost, what does the us really want to achieve? basically, what do, what do you want to do is not to have any piece of discussions and try to do as much damage to russia and to europe at the same time. but what the united states

doesn't see that we're being humanity is being driven towards a nuclear holocaust. if we continue like that, the issue now that should concern the west and russia is to start serious peace negotiations between nato and moscow and between the united states and moscow. and finally in sweden, riots, i wrote it in the city of all bro, on friday as counter protest this class with police upon the right wing extremist demonstration. the use the protests and violence with objects thrown under police vehicle sets ablaze the counter demonstration and in response to a fall, right? rally way. it was plunged that the muslim holy book,

the koran would allegedly be burnt. the rights for the far right. excuse me. event featured until the muslim danish politician, rasmus paula dun and his party hotline was prevented from going ahead. those are the main new stories that shape this week a on, on scenes national from on any of them do you had it was a r t dot com minus peter scott on the back again with another look at the top of the hour with a it isn't with the one, you know,

maybe a with a lot of b b a c or any of those

with
