[000:00:00;00] a year with russia, defense ministry says it has opened another exit window for ukraine's remaining force in thought. the dumbass city of mario hall, we've been offered a fresh talk to rendered painfully slow fall to fi. think that has been raging on here on the periphery of the steel lod word to industrial comp out. as you can hear, battle rages, we report from the final frontline inside marielle po way russian lead horses launch the latest to solve the game. he had truth early on tuesday, with russia foreign minister, save the country, have no choice but to send troops to protect. don't bounce off to the west,

refuse to respect the red lines that y. amongst this both stopped with the russians decided to predict the rush of scores. tooth is in so few pre friends who war absolutely discriminated. last day to lay an american journalist on here, critic is reported to have gone missing inside ukraine. one of the country's national leaders claims the report in might have been captured and killed with thanks for joining us. this is on t international with the latest update. now as fi st continues across, dumbass russian and don, yes, republic forces have announced another chance. the caves trips inside the city of mario pole to surrender, even calling the offer a humanitarian corridor or a local sci fi has been implemented around the entire territory. all the as of

stole industrial plans, mario pole, which is the long, strong, called a few cranes trips in the city. so post to provide food and medical care to any troops who wished to surrender have been sets up in the area by russia. the defense ministry, se ukrainian prisoners of war will be treated in accordance with the geneva conventions. and it's the 1st time russia has opened such an exit window in mario pole. on sunday rushes, defense ministry off members of ukraine's nationalist battalions to lay down the weapons. but that proposal was ignored by the troops, humanitarian cardoso, also previously been open for civilians. he wanted to leave the embattled city. however, russia accused ukraine's forces of opening fire on some of the locals who were trying to flee. most of the remaining ukrainian troops in mario paula trying to hold their ground inside the vast territory of the as of still industrial plants, their exact number is unknown, but they all reportedly in short supply of munition and food. nevertheless,

bessie periods in kiev have allegedly ordered them to keep fighting the ukrainians claimed they still have civilians inside the 53, but these allegations have been denied by the russian defense ministry. of course, in kiev negotiate to say the events mario paul are complicating efforts to brokerage the file with moscow. he's more against the reports from near the front line in mario pole where russian led forth is going to new offensive. earlier on tuesday. here on the periphery of the as of steel and nod works industrial compound . as you can hear, battle rages small arms, mostly as well as armor close and l carriers. but last few residential neighborhoods of all that stands between total encirclement ukrainian nationalists inside the other industrial compound. as you can hear,

the fighting is still ferocious. but from what we understand, national with cranium, troops are running as foods, out of woods, as well as morale is said to be very low there because obviously they're running short and supplies. but also because they invariably i understand many of the this is the in that their commanders in those and here here which is ordering them not to surrender that they are throwing their lives away. nevertheless, there are a core radical fanatics among the nationalists in the algorithm still compound and they for a bit. and he sort of surrender any sort of negotiation they want to keep fighting, as they hope until a diplomatic clap solution is reached by which they will be given a car door. as of mary and i did the ukraine. proper territories controlled by the

caribbean military, even though that is at this point. incredibly unlikely. earlier russia reportedly launched a heavy barrage of strikes against ukrainian forces crossed on bass. isn't verified on the chest, the teacher allegedly so some of those attacks taking place overnight explanation supposed to be reported in the major ukrainian cities have hargrove and mc elias. and these are said to be some of the latest images from the, the gulf region in northern ukraine. my rescue was claimed they found at least 71 for these. while sifting through the rubble of apartment blocks off the heavy shilling, russia has not commented on those allegation. the west left russia, no choice, but to step in him, protect the people of dumbass us the latest message from russia's foreign minister said, a lot of ralph who gave an in depth interview to indian media when people who

have been killing russian ethnic russians, citizens of ukraine in the east, 48 years. oh, result. any tv representatives will be asian b, africa, mutilated american, v, adherent, viewed, the united states. paying any attention to this, this is not to say that so we can, you know, just ignore the victims of the damage. sure. to the civilian infrastructure, but once again i want, they want to emphasize very important. think this outcry started only when the russians decided to predict the russian scores suitors, and so few cri, and who war absolutely discriminate. it rushes foreign minister said gala ross gave a big interview to indian media and he spoke a lot about the roots and causes of the current military conflict. a ukraine.

what's happening now mr. oliver of sad is a direct result of us as desire. u. s. is, will to dictate their rules to the rest of the world, including kia, mr. oliver, of also sad that the aim of moscow's current military operation in ukraine is to liberate people's republics. often ask and logan's completely adding that the operation has just now entered a 2nd. very crucial phase. speaking about the events in the ukraine in town of boucher makia presented as war crimes committed by the russian army. and that to moscow sees as a complete fake mister lager of promise that's russia will find out the truth and had just to remind you, following boucher without any independent investigation. the west supported key of an imposed several packages of economic sanctions against russia commented on that mister law group said that russia is till strong enough. no, these have come to

a very straightforward conclusion weekend. no, to rely on. oh, wisdom, colleagues. in any part of our life, which has through the jew significance speaking about russia's relations with, ain't a mr. oliver sad that they are a long, strategic partnership has recently gone to a much higher level. this is what the minister had to say with you. so very, very old friends and the recall though relationship long ago, strategic partnership then vote 20 years ago, the indian from sidway, i don't recall is we're going to call it a privilege strategic workmanship. and sometime later they said not enough left school, especially brutish that through g button. should. this is, this is the unique description of it by withdrawal relations. oh,

i see. and coughing and the fresh and coming back to ukraine speaking about the long awaited piece. there are mr. oliver of sad that president zalinski is changing his mind too often, and that creates lots of problems. lots of obstacles, full piece, talked to remind you there were already several rounds of negotiations between keith and moscow. very tough, but very productive and even successful as both sides agreed until it all stopped at the end of march. and now hopes are that the 2 countries will be able to get back to the table soon. ah, the ukrainian military apparently deployed bond cluster munitions while targeting a residential area inside the country last month. as according to a new investigation by the new york times, who's a rifka village in a b hawk of reach in was shelves, while ukrainian troops where retaking the area. but the cluster munitions that

landed next to mister dorshek goes house was not fired by russian forces based on evidence reviewed by the new york times during a visit to the area. it is very likely to have been launched by the ukrainian troops who are trying to retake the area. plus discuss this article now with ortiz on a boy. ok, thanks for coming in on a interesting article. what more can you tell as well, i have mixed feelings about it because i'm the one hand, it does admit the contacts of the ukrainian military is less exemplary than the americans would like to believe. but it's also presents information in such a way that i think is even more deceiving than the overall reporting on this crisis . because 1st of all, the article make it makes a claim that this is the 1st fuse of cluster munitions by the ukrainian army. even though i know for a fact and you know we've been reporting that all along. busy that ukrainian forces

in the don't box region people and they don't bass region have been on the, the garage of classroom munitions for many, many years. and that has been certified by a number of international organizations. and it also makes the claims that. busy article that the russian military repeatedly uses cluster munitions as well, despite the fact that the russian military denies its flatly. and even amnesty international, for example, can confirm it. so it's a very, very interesting piece of reporting. and i think it's very characteristic of the way washing media have been approaching this campaign because they have an overwhelming nurse if a political line that they want to instill in the minds of the viewers. but sometimes they let certain contradicting information to be printed in these small trains. so, so that's, you know, some steam or some doubt some suspicions could be voice, but overwhelmingly, it's a, it's an interesting article though because like you say,

it's not very often we see our schools criticizing the ukrainian side. so why it's them criticizing nicky. it's like it's sort of mentions the, perhaps this may have happened, but it accuses rush of doing that too much greater extent despite the fact that there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever they, even in that article, they that linking to another article that supposedly lays that out even though that in that article too, there is no evidence. and what's more interesting is that this article, i am fascinated by this because i covers a number of conflicts. i know a lot of more reporters from the west, from the east and that particular article it was written by 2 guys. one is the couple bureau chief of the new york times who also happens to be a former marine infantrymen and another guy. he's a former navy explosive ordinance disposal officer, so you know, all of us suddenly we have former american military covering events as journalists,

even though there are lots and lots of professional report is our, there would be, well, i don't believe they could be fully independent of the american political narrative, but at least they would not have been as invested in the military covering of the of the conflicts. as for my army men, i mean, even among the russian army, they're not among the russian press corps. they're not too many former military people. i have to say, though, rack is not the 1st time that the mainstream media has criticized ukraine's version of events. so is it, i think the reason why it was done is you are right, but we do get some, some smidgen of reporting of the other side of the story. but i think that is done with a very cynical reason to, you know, allow those news outlets to believe that they are being balanced even though they are not. because if you compare the amount of coverage, the amount of time,

the amount of you know, newspaper space that they allow for various sides, you know, there is no discussion about balance whatsoever. but, you know, they allow themselves small articles that voice, some suspicions that show that perhaps reality a little is a little bit more complicated and a little bit less homogenous than the one to presented. and then you know, they go on with the major narrative. and so nothing really changes in this respect economy. okay, thanks for coming in. good to be with him. now i shall lay an american journalist who's been covering the conflict from inside ukraine has reportedly gone missing in the city of hall, called fellow reporters, now fearful his life sank. gonzalo lira has been out of contact since last friday, extremely troubling that gonzalo lira a u. s citizen in ukraine has disappeared from social media. he was scheduled to

interview me last friday about the lensky s b, u kidnapping, and assassinating dissidence. and now i fear he has become its latest victim. if gonzalo lira has indeed been disappeared by ukraine's s b u, he joins a long list of dissidence. leftist human rights activists and local officials kidnapped, tortured and even assassinated by zelinski, is dest quotes, and with key as open support. meanwhile, one of the cranes nationalist leaders has posted a series of tweets in his private accounts, mockingly claiming the journalist might have been abducted and killed by quote, some guy with the co sign chile, and other posts. he shows a photo of neo nazi fight, is again haines thing. they might be the ones behind the reporters disappearance and even applauding the prospects of the journalists being that the radical ukrainian commander has. it provided any evidence, those for the information cannot be immediately verified. gonzalez, lira is 54 years old and has been living in ukraine for the past few years. he was

in here when the conflict ruptured in february and then travel to hong kong to cover the fighting there. he has repeatedly criticize the ukrainian government and armed forces for the actions at the end of march. he tweeted what he called the truth about the landscape regime. i think he might disappear as did other critics of kiev, some of whom were later found dead. he's one of gonzalez, there is latest interviews before he went missing. nato never allowed grain to join formally, but informally, they established training bases for western ukraine. trained all of the ukraine, military in nato tactics, nato communications methods. so very real. the armed forces were makes up, but they also integrated these new, not the hyper nationalist elements, not just into the armed forces by the way, also into the government itself. and these new nazi extreme nationalist, extremely green,

innocuous elements are poisoned the well. some of the ukrainian state, you can probably anti russian. this expressed itself in the government itself and also in its armed forces. there is a constant shelley of be done by reaching the break away public republics. i've gone to nash and over the years, well about 16000 people were killed there needlessly. and it was really because of the aggression of the ukraine regime, which never wanted to negotiate with the people on the break publish and pushed forward this extreme radical ukrainian nationalism. children's ministry of foreign affairs has confirmed to say that they've been informed about the loss of contact with the journalists and now in touch with relevant entities to get an update on his status and location. we've also requested comment from the u. s. department of state, since gonzalez, near a house, a deal citizenship so far,

the americans have provided no response, but we will keep you updated on us. china has announced the signing of a security packed with the solomon islands that will allow chinese police to protect the infrastructure on social order. the chinese authority said the agreement demonstrates that pacific island countries are self reliant enough to choose their own partners. when the show to show what we want to say is that pacific island countries not anyone's backyard, let alone poems, energy or political confrontation island countries have actual needs for diversification of foreign cooperation. and also have the rights to independently choose their partners. deliberately exaggerating tensions and provoking the confrontation of camps has no appeal among island countries. the attempt to interfere and obstruct the cooperation of the island. countries with china is also due to fail. but washington isn't happy about the move. the white house says it will send a delegation to the solomon islands to express concern about chinese increasing

presence, the australia, a key us ally in the region, earliest that one of its ministers to the islands to try and talk local officials out of partnering with beijing we have asked solomon islands respectfully, to consider not signing the agreement and to consult the pacific family in the spirit of regional openness and transparency. consistent with our region security frameworks. let's cross live to joseph black, lima. how you professor of pol it takes and international relations at the east china normal university. thank you very much for joining is on the program. why do you think you as an australian officials are seemingly so desperate to break up this deal between china and the solomon islands? well, 1st, the by the ministration has made it clear from the beginning that it views china as its biggest strategic adversary. that the u. s will push back against china whenever and wherever possible, including trade, diplomacy and security. second,

it's clear that this newly cyber security pack between china and the solomon is red meat for australian politicians with federal elections. now just 2 days away. u. s . wants to support leaders in canberra, who have followed washington against china in recent years. and they want to do this by making a very big splash over what is in fact, a very small matter in a very large ocean. in short, canberra would like to imagine this is some kind of emerging close at hand thread like cuba to the united states. despite the solvents being 2000 kilometers away and not ideologically hostile to australia. and 3rd, the solids broke with taipei and bolster relations with china in 2019. because the u. s. has increasingly challenge the one child policy in its interactions with taiwan. we might be seeing the 1st steps of a broader strategy of trying to realign some countries away from beijing and towards typing a state department official said that

u. s. policy is full in the countries of the pacific region to understand the benefits of a relationship with washington instead of china. what benefits do you think the solomon islands are expecting to get from dealing with china? well, there are many benefits, but the most noteworthy are billions in investment trade, diplomatic support. and now a security agreement, a china has also shown it's a reliable friend when emergency aid is needed. but to be clear, although the solomon's resent australian had to many more than they feared china, what they really want is security support unrelated to either australia or the u. s . and they want the sort of investment in trade. why neither of those countries have provided. consequently, his ex, this pack idea speaks directly to their security needs pity and reinforces the economic interest. do you think the u. s. allegations visit to the solomon islands can be seen as an attempt to influence the foreign policy of this country? certainly, but additionally,

it's show voting for australian and american voters and signaling to others in australia and asia. that even if the solomons don't abandon the deal, other countries including australia, can count on the u. s. to ride to the rescue anytime they're feeling anxious about china. in this respect, us is clearly trying to rebuild confidence in america after so many diplomatic failures under trump, after several terrible years associated with the pandemic. after fiascos in central asia and the middle east, all of which have so concerns that the u. s. the declining power the can't be trusted. as a strategic ally, do you think there's really any deep strategic sense in chinese intentions are thinking my thinking, using their situation to blame beijing? a child cultivated positive relations and how can i for a long time as it likewise cultivated, posit relations with australia before can bear decided to follow america's anti china hysteria. but now that australia is acquiring nuclear submarines from us

through office in order to pose a new security risk against china. and given cambers participation in the 5 eyes intelligence gathering network against china. it's a frame of china might be looking for ways to mitigate those threats. now it's not clear that's happening on the solvents and beijing says it isn't. but perhaps it should show that quickly mahoney, professor, politics and international relations at the east china normal university. many thanks bill time, we appreciate it. now moving on the white house, they did not say in us interests to send american troops to ukraine. coming to washington insists on shipping more weapons to key at despite objections from moscow. the white house statement came in response to a suggestion by a high ranking democratic lawmaker who has caused the american bates on the ground in ukraine. i deeply worried that what's going to happen next is that we will see ukraine turn into syria. the american people cannot turn away from this tragedy in

ukraine. i think the history of the 21st century turns on how fiercely we defend freedom in ukraine, and that putin will only stop when we stop in the world knows that the situation in syria is largely the fault of the united states since 2011. the united states has been meddling in syria, trying to expand and expand discontent in the country and ultimately try to topple the government. between 20142017 alone. $12000000000.00 was spent by the united states on trying to conduct regime change and intensify the conflict in syria. if the congress is so concerned about not having syria and their situation become something similar to what's on the ground and ukraine. why are they talking about sending more and more weapons? we now know, united states is looking to put heavy artillery into ukraine that will only exacerbate the fighting years. some of the reason announcements,

it is true that we believe will be able to begin a process of training ukrainian on forces on the howitzers that will be there shortly. heading over that training will occur outside of ukraine. it will be more of a train, the trainers kind of environment, so it'll be a small number of ukrainians that will be trained on the howitzers. and then they, we re introduce back into their country to train their colleagues. these words about not wanting ukraine to become the new syria are quite hypocritical, and absurd on the part of us leaders. as it was the united states that exacerbated and prolonged they conflict in syria, which created all kinds of refugees and all kinds of suffering. and it's also important to know that in syria, the united states promised there would be no boots on the ground. but by the time obama had left office, he had broken that promise. i. and there are us troops in syria even up to today. so these words from a member of the u. s. congress,

just kind of fall flat for anyone familiar with the situation? don't. yes, we're public official, say a high ranking, ukrainian military officer has been killed in action during the birth of a mario pole. i don't, you ex, militia and spokesman has said the body of kind of landed me put on your commander of ukraine's 36. marine. infantry brigade was found off the 4th is trying to break out of an encircled man to the port of mario pole. dozens of ukrainian troop, including other officers are said to have been killed or taken captive by russian led forces during the battle. but it seems the west and mainstream media was turning a blind eye to the incidents which marked a significant developments in the battle for the city of mario pole in the den. yes, republic, that seemed virtually no mention of the death of kind of like mid perennial oak who had the title of hero of ukraine. wells, political analysts, dimitri babich, for his take on how the western media has been spinning the conflicts. it's a great to creation. well, to get into the details of the straight to the west, just resent

a very aggressive right and south west. you need to flip off the 4th and i'm told one of the over the official you bringing delegation at the p stores with rush. we need your, you were by the you, by the ringing because he was a, been a loyal to the country. this was never who the never show the. there were no question. there were no investigations. thanks for joining us. this web back in 30 minutes with the latest the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,

let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time time to sit down and talk with with me. i love walking towards the end from aristotle to hey, go to who the idea of history gravitating to some more has been the one of the most

generative and most destructive western concepts, giving rise to johnny and sashes, both marxism and liberalism, with a conflict in your brain rekindling the own disputes about the right them the wrong the sides of history. is that still a chance for russia on the west meeting somewhere in the middle of to discuss with them now and joined by a friend in barbara, president of the jerusalem institute for strategic studies, professor in barnes. great to see you. great. and talk to you. thank you very much for time. my pleasure. you wrote recently about this seemingly existential political need to be perceived as being on the right side of history. if we tried to put the apology, central began to out of it and look at it from historical and perhaps psychological perspective. what's underneath this righteousness? i don't believe so. he's right side of his is a history is written by the victim of the walls. and in narratives that

remains a few, jo is the ones that is defined by the victim. by the way, hitler was not a big bully. if you would ever put more attention to the longer that you might have been the victim, would it be? so i'd say the story about that. now the tensions between russia and the west, especially over ukraine, have been building for quite some time a couple of years, no decades. and yet when i interview western experts, they always point out that the russian actions in ukraine, however disagreeable they may be, are totally unprincipled. this totally unprovoked, totally coming out of the blue. do you think that's a delivery that's the station, or is it a genuine blindness? on that part that they somehow missed the last couple of years of the very 10 years
