ah military expos, alexander, stepan, av things here. he's trying to drag out the military conflicts, regardless of civilian casualties in such order. she sco suddenly upon the initiative of the russian side, his aim to saving human lives. and this noble gesture to was walker miles deserves respect. but we are well aware that those military personnel who don't want to surrender are the subject of orders given to them. the main goal of kia is to prolong the conflict as much as possible, despite the casualties among the civilian population. the decision of the issue of the liberation of mario pro has already been made by russia, and we can only hope for the prudence of a ukrainian military leadership, which must 1st of all take care of the lives of their military forces moisture, exterior. matty is mariah garcia, was near the front line and marianna pon, early on tuesday when at russian that force is launched in new offensive against key as remaining shapes here on the periphery of the as of steel and nod works
3:06 pm
industrial compound. as you can hear, battle rages small arms, mostly as well as armored personnel carriers. but last few residential neighborhoods of all that stands between total encirclement ukrainian nationalists inside the industrial compound. as you can hear, the fussing is still ferocious. but from what we understand nationalism, ukrainian troops are running as a foods out of water as well as morale is said to be very low there because obviously they're running short and supplies, but also because they invariably a understand many of them. but this is the end that their commanders and those and here here which is ordering them not to surrender that they are throwing their
3:07 pm
lives away. nevertheless, there are a core of radical fanatics among the nationalists in the algo steel compound. and they could be any sort of surrender, any sort of negotiation they want to keep fighting, as they hope, until a diplomatic perhaps solution is reached by which they will be given a car door as of mary. and did the ukraine. proper territories controlled by the caribbean. military, even though that is at this point, incredibly unlikely. meanwhile, the u. s. sunday satellites won't ukraine to keep fighting until the last man standing according to russia's defense minister, his condemned western efforts to supply more weapons to key f issues go no. the russian army is carrying out the tasks set out by the commander in chief as part of the special military operation by consistently implementing the plans for the
3:08 pm
liberation of the don't ask and logan's people's republics while taking measures to restore peaceful life. there. the russian military personnel taking part in the operation are displaying their courage and heroism in the line of duty. the u. s. and the western countries controls are doing everything in their power to drag out our military operation. the increasing shipments of foreign weapons are a clear demonstration of their intentions to provoke the key of regime into fighting until the last ukrainian, the west left russia, no choice, but to step in and protect the people of dumbass. that's the latest message from russia's foreign minister said a louder off. he 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,
3:09 pm
result. any tv representatives be asian b, africa, mutilated american, the human being, the, the, like, the 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. fink, this outcry started only when the russians decided to predict the russian scores shooters and so few cream and whole war absolutely discriminate . it rushes foreign minister said gala froth gave a big interview to indian media. and he spoke a lot about the routes and causes of the current military conflict. a ukraine. what's happening now may still lover of sad is a direct result of us as desire. u. s. is will to dictate their rules to the rest
3:10 pm
of the world, including key of miss oliver, of all so 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 lekia presented as war crimes committed by the russian army. and that to moscow sees as a complete fake mister law 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 la grove said that russia is still strong enough. no, we have come to a very straightforward conclusion. weekend or 3 y on western colleagues in any part of our life,
3:11 pm
which has strategic significance. speaking about russia, relations with angel, 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. oh, very, very old friend. and we called the relationships long ago strategic partnership. then, about 20 years ago, the indian friend said, why don't recall it if i don't recall that privilege strategic partnership. and sometime later they said not enough. let's call it especially privilege that the g but this, this is, this is a unique description of any bilateral relations. i think of india and the freshman. and coming back to you, craig, speaking about the long awaited piece there are mr. lover of said the president
3:12 pm
landscape, changing his mind too often. and that creates lots of problems. lots of obstacles for piece talk to remind you. there were already several rounds of negotiations between here, but most go very tough, but very productive and have been successful in both sides. agreed until it all topped at the end of march. and now hopes are that the 2 countries will be able to get back to the table. so i to lay an american journalist who's been covering the conflict from inside of ukraine has reportedly gone missing. and the city of hawk of fellow report is now fear for his life. st. gonzalo, newer 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 lensky, s b, u kidnapping, and assassinating dissidence. and now i fear he has become its latest victim. gonzalo lira has indeed been disappeared by ukraine's s b u. he joins
3:13 pm
a long list of dissidence. leftist human rights activists and local officials kidnapped tortured and even assassinated by zelinski death squads and with key of open support. meanwhile, one of the cranes nationalist leaders has posed a series of tweets in his private account, mockingly claiming that journalist might have been adopted and killed by quote, some guy with the call sign chile and other post see shows a photo of neo nazi fight. if we can hinting they might be the ones behind the reporters disappearance and even applauding the prospects of the journalists being dead, the radical ukrainian commander hasn't provided any evidence though. so the information cannot be immediately verified. gonzalo nearer is 54 years old and has been living in ukraine for the past few years. it was in kias when the conflict ruptured in february and then traveled to hong kong to cover the fighting bear. he has repeatedly criticized the ukrainian government and armed forces for the actions at
3:14 pm
the end of march, he tweeted what he called the truth about the landscape regime. i think he might disappear. the other critics of kias, some of whom were later found dead. he's one of the console nearest latest to be before he went missing. nato never allowed ukraine to join formally, but informally, they established training bases for western ukraine. trained all of the ukraine, military in nato tactics, natal communications methods, so very real. the armed forces were makes up, but they also integrated need not the hyper nationalist elements, not just him to the armed forces by the way, also into the government itself. and these new and not see extreme nationalist, extreme ukrainian elements or poison the well. some of the ukrainian states, you can probably anti russian and this expressed itself in the government itself
3:15 pm
and also in its armed forces. there is constant shelly of be done by reaching the break away public republics. i've gone to nash and over the years, well about 15000 people were killed there needlessly. and it was really because of the aggression of the ukraine regime, which never wanted to negotiate with people on the brake republics. and pushed forward this extreme radical ukrainian nationalism chili's ministry of foreign affairs has confirmed to r t that they've been informed about the loss of contact with the journalist 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 gonzalo larry holds a dual citizenship so far the americans have provided no response. but we will keep you updated on this package on the new prime minister who recently replaced
3:16 pm
alfred in wrong card has called for cooperation with pakistan's neighbor and long time rifle. india, that peaceful and cooperative ties between pakistan and india are imperative for the progress and socio economic uplift of our people. and for the region. this can be best achieved through meaningful engagement and peaceful resolution of all outstanding disputes, including the core issue of jumbo in kashmir. the disputed region of kashmir has been a key point of contention between india and pakistan for the past 75 years. the countries afford several large scale conflicts will control of kashmir, sparking phase of nuclear war as both countries have atomic weapons. however, just last week, india's prime minister congratulated his pakistani counterpart on his election saying that india desires peace. unstable relations with its neighbour neely's former ambassador to as lama is, i'm a bad says the decision making process in pakistan is still largely in the hands of
3:17 pm
the military bras. political changes make only a slight difference because in pakistan, when it, especially when it comes to relations with india, the army plays a substantial role of the elected government generally goes by the advisory committee. so that is one continued factor, but yes, you can have prime ministers who choose to go on a different career, but they will have to be careful. and i have known the present prime minister share busha before a long time. he's already able, administered that he was a really good chief minister. he's the brother of law. mr. know i should eve and also he heard from visited india and mc to our last foreign minister doctor montmorency. so i think that he will try and keep
3:18 pm
the relationship on no sort of balanced way. but in an argument analysis, relations with india is just not the elector go to the pakistani military, which has the predominance see in determining that british well, i got some insight from a retired pakistani and marshall and security analyst. you say this too early to be optimistic about relations between islam about and new delhi. yes, they've been put, stop, does horizontal mode the writing to the new prime minister suggesting a pop quiz to good relationship in the future. but unfortunately, what the problem state as they have always been for the last 7 decades in august on and that doesn't take away from those kind of issue. for example, you mentioned the question that issue at the same time shove, i should, it may not be in part long simply because the fractures, political environment in august is almost pressing and holding for an immediate
3:19 pm
election might not be as immediate. it could be a few months down the line, but it seems that that would be perhaps these big name, but the starting up yet as a government and you get to the point is that the united states has been an important part of alliance with buckets on for a long number of years now, as is russia, as john are, china is perhaps the strongest cornerstone of bikers sounds bar policy. but that doesn't really mean that it is of the cost of the united states or russia for that matter. the ukrainian military apparently deployed to bond cluster munitions while targeting a residential area inside the country. last month. that's according to a new investigation by the new york times. because about, ha, ha, ha, ha of region was shell ukrainian troops where we taken the area. but the cluster munitions that landed next to mister doris shinkel house was not fired by russian forces. based on evidence reviewed by the new york times during a visit to the area,
3:20 pm
it is very likely to have been launched by the ukrainian troops who were trying to retake the area. interesting article or gotten more. can you tell us? well, i have mixed feelings about it because i'm the one hand it does it, ned, the, the contacts of the ukrainian military is a less exemplary than the americans would like to believe. but it 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 and makes a claim that this is the 1st use of cluster munitions by this ukrainian army. even though i know for a fact then, you know, we've been reporting that all along that ukrainian forces in the dorm bass region at people. and they don't bass region have been on the, the barrage of classroom munitions for many, many years. and that has been certified by a number of international organizations. and it also makes it claimed that article
3:21 pm
that the russian military repeatedly use this class to 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 western media have been approaching this campaign because they have an, an overwhelming narrative for political life that they won to instill in the minds of yours. but sometimes they let certain contradicting information to be printed in the small phrase. so, so that's, you know, some seem, or some doubt some suspicions could be voice, but not overwhelmingly, it's an interesting article because like you say, it's not very often we see criticizing the ukrainian side. so why not, it's not even criticizing me. it's like it's sort of mentions the, perhaps this may have happened,
3:22 pm
but it accuses rush of doing that so 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 covered the number of conflicts. i know a lot of war reporters from the west, from the east and that particular article, it was written by 2 guys, and one is the campbell 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 a sudden we have former american military covering events as journalists, even though there are lots and lots of professional report is alabama who could be well, i don't believe they could be fully independent of the american political narrative, but at least they will not have been as invested in the military covering of the of
3:23 pm
the conflicts as former army men. i mean, even among the russian army, they're not among the russian press corps. they are not too many forward military people. i have to say, although rare 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's done, if 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 them some small articles that voice, some suspicions that show that perhaps reality a little is
3:24 pm
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, austria has passed a new law criminalizing the sharing of media from sanction sources which will be punishable by a fine of 50000 euros. the law does not name specific outlets, but he is understood to be one of the bands forces. according to the legal amendment, austrian media cannot show any foreign programs for the fall and the e u sanctions. video sharing platforms would also be breaking the law by providing access to restrictive programs. in addition, even a contribution towards avoiding such sanctions in a targeted mama is not considered illegal in austria. earlier i discuss this controversial law with for me us, and it's a tar read. melissa height of hypocrisy, isn't it? when they're talking about freedom of speech and democracy and wanting to spread
3:25 pm
democracy, but then stifling any kind of conversation or discussion by censoring and by criminalizing speech, wester and citizens will not appreciate being stifled and not appreciate their information being siphoned into only one western land and not being allowed to have an international you, i'm particularly in europe where you sure continent with russia r t is very popular in european channels, and it was popular here in the u. s. as well before the censorship, particularly on social media and with the younger generation of american citizens. there's an issue with being you know, given one you a situation rather than actual balance reporting and journalism. while you governments are imposing new waves, avante russian sanctions, some german business representatives have rallied against a proposed and bol go on. russian oil cussing off. all supplies of russian fossil
3:26 pm
fuels is no easy task. the countries who import around 40 percent of their natural gas from russia, experts say the supplies would be most difficult to replace with germany. one of your biggest industrial manufacturers. berlin has so far refused an immediate shutoff. instead, proposing to phase out most russian import was by the end of 2024. leading german officials have stated that any rapid action would devastate the country's economy. an immediate gas embargo would endanger social peace in germany. a rapid gas embargo would lead to loss of production shut down further de industrialization in the long term loss of work positions in germany. the current direct so of the institute of global security analysts say 0 is simply not ready to cut itself off from russian. phil supplies, when it comes to natural gas, we talking about electricity. electricity is essential for industrialized
3:27 pm
processes. and here, there are no good alternative for germany or any other european country for that matter. let's not forget that most of the natural gas to europe is buying today from russia. is pipe gas and comes through pipelines. europe now wants to transition to l. n. g, liquified natural gas, and this is a much more expensive gas. so europe, as well as germany and all the other industrialized countries, i essentially talking about replacing cheap gas with a much more expensive gas. and that will mean attacks on the european industries de industrialization and more inflation. over the near term, europe will have to import russian gas, whether they like it or not, they are going to do is always to commit. you could make suicide. but i don't think
3:28 pm
3:29 pm
3:30 pm
a conflict in your brain rekindling the only disputes about the right them the wrong sides of history. is there still a chance for russia on the west meeting somewhere in the middle? to discuss that, i'm now joined by a friend in barbara president of the jerusalem institute for strategic studies. professor invites great to see you, great to talk to you. thank you very much for time. my pleasure. you wrote recently about the seemingly existential political needs 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 i'm do need the righteousness i don't believe. so he's right side of his story. basically is the history is written by the victim of the walls. and good. now there are remains is a few. jo is the one.
