but that apparently doesn't apply when it comes to russians. bruce, a phobia is the new bigotry. with moscow, demands cube order troops in mario pals of stall plants to release civilians and surrender as around 100 people are evacuated from the vicinity. some of them share their feelings with us. i'm a senior and my mother. we were living in the basement for 2 months. we are very happy to see you guys. stay alive and now you are evacuating right. my sister and 3 nephews, a russian led forces continue their assault on the last stronghold of neo nazi as of troops in marble. as a safe evacuation route from the area goes on used

r t reports from the frontline of the war torn city. a few residential neighborhoods. it stands between total encirclement ukrainian nationalists inside the other industrial colon. bob, as you can hear, the fighting is still ferocious. ukrainian military is accused of using internationally band, a cluster munitions and it's shelling of a populated village in an apparent effort to push back russian forces claim reported by the new york times. kia denied the allegations with broadcasting lab direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. i'm certainly glad to happy with us. you know, moscow called on cave to order troops inside mario pals as of all steel plants to

release any civilian hostages and surrender. moscow says civilians may be used as human shields inside the factory to prevent russian forces from advancing after no one pass through a humanitarian court or on tuesday, set up to evacuate the facility and other limited cease fire is to take place on wednesday afternoon. but near by safe roots have been used. we have heard from some of the people who managed to flee. and listen, if i did my nose as we were living in the basement for 2 months, we are very happy to see you guys. stay alive, doing good deal on your hood. yet the covenant girl was killed. she left 2 kids and bisco was wounded. we've been treating her since the 7th of april, but she never moved like this before. and now you are evacuating bright. my sister and 3 nephews. ah but did, when they did, everything was bombed in burned down. we lived in

a basement, no water, no food. we just grabbed what we could. earlier on tuesday, russian led forces inside mario boat launched a new assault against mio. nazi as of troops, most of the remaining ukrainian forces in marble are trying to hold their ground inside the vast territory of the as of stall industrial plant, their exact number is unknown, but they are reportedly in short supply of ammunition and food. russian lead forces save. they have been making very cautious. moves towards enemy positions still has a high density of buildings. so the distance in which we are fighting is 100 to 200 meters. we are moving slowly but confidently. mobile units have identified enemy firing points and directly destroyed. you can see the explosion right here are corresponding what i've got was near the

front line in marble when russian lead forces launched a new offensive at the as of stall plants, the last stronghold of ukrainian nationalist to the city. 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 with armored personnel carriers, but few residential neighborhoods of all that stands between total encirclement ukrainian nationalists inside the other industrial compound. as you can hear, the fussing is still ferocious, but from what we understand, nationally ukrainian troops are running as foods, out of watts, 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 the,

this is the in that the 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 algo steel compound. and they did any 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 that these point incredibly unlikely military expert alexander, to pano says accused leadership is trying to prolong the military conflict despite the civilian casualties in sociology. she sco suddenly upon the initiative of the

russian side is aimed at saving human lives. and this noble gesture to was walker, minerals deserves respect. but we are well aware that those milton 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 pool has already been made by russia, and we can only hope for the prudence of the ukraine and military leadership, which must 1st of all take care of the lives of their military forces, was while the situation in mario port remains tents. the un security council held a meeting on tuesday to discuss the war in ukraine. russia's ambassador to the un come commented on how he sees the west approaching the situation somewhat on us. for example, nuclear, the west concern for ukraine and ukrainians is opportunistic, unselfish. ukrainians are needed today only as cannon fodder in a proxy war with russia until the last ukrainian renewal. the style cross live 2 course followed. caleb martin in new york. caleb,

tell us more about the un security council meeting and what their to say. well, the 15 member body that leads the united nations convened a meeting, the topic of which was refugees created by the conflict in ukraine. now, the united states and its allies unloaded a lot of allegations and accusations against russia. but as we just saw in the clip there, dmitri poll yan sky, he took to the floor and defended russia and called out and bummed, a lot of the accusations that were being made. now, he went on to say that russia has actually taken in refugees starting since 2014 when united states and its allies toppled the grant in government. and total $2500000.00 people have fled to the russian federation as a result of us actions and ukraine. now he went on to talk about political repression and ukraine and now attempts to portray ukraine as being some kind of democracy. being threatened is just simply not accurate. political opposition

forces are being rounded up and repressed and have been repressed. and for the past 8 years, they've been waging a war against their own population in the eastern regions and don boss. now, he also talked about how all of these narrative that are deeming russia, demonizing, russia, ignore the history of us crimes. and that there is an attempt to now to rewrite the history of the 2nd world war and deny the achievements of the soviet union and defeating the nazis and try to create a situation where somehow these ukrainian nazi collaborators like step on ben, dera, are considered to be hero. now he called out the u. s. military industrial complex . he talked about how a lot of the military hardware, the united states is given to ukraine, doesn't even work. some of these vehicles have not been functional and they've just kind of been dumping them on ukraine and how the claims that it cares about ukrainian lives. but at the same time, it seems to be trying to prolong the conflict and throw the ukrainian lives away in

an effort to hurt rush. he also talked about the impact on the european countries that are aligned with united states and how they have been badly impacted by the sanctioned by the conflict. and based on that, he argued that calls for a cease fire coming from united states and their allies seem insincere. and there's a legit concern. this is simply an opportunity to let the extremist, not the forces regroup, and continue their efforts not just against russia, but against ukrainian civilians. now, later after we heard from the countries making up the un security council, we did hear the ukrainian representative get up. and he made a lot of accusations against russia. one being that russia is not allowing civilians to leave a factory and basically is enabling and causing civilians to be killed. this is what the granting representative said when addressing the security council. the situation in mario remains the most critical. thousands of civilians are still in

the city congress of them, including children, have taken shelter in the old style plant. they need immediate safety occupation, and the russian forces are well aware of these. instead, the russians deny all requests from the ukrainian side world leaders and the u. s. u n. hi, officials for iraq creation car doors for civilians. now, prior to these accusations from the cranium representative, dmitri poli and ski representing the russian federation, spoke and explained very clearly that the presence of these civilians in the factory was hidden. despite repeated requests on the part of russia to make sure that no civilians were in harms way. and now russia has been calling on to influence the fighting forces there and allow the civilians to leave the factory. so essentially, ukrainians are being used as human shields by, you know,

by the extremist anti russian forces that have been armed and trained by the states and ukraine. so the version of events that was presented there just doesn't match reality. 8 now it's also important to note that at the security council meeting, china took to the floor and talked about the dangers facing the global economy and how the targeting and manipulation of currency. and as a result of us sanctions is having a very long term and serious effect, not just in china, not just in russia, but in other places. now, the world economy is being badly affected by these moves by the united states. that the escalation of the conflict. so i was quite a meeting at the un security council. a lot of allegations against russia. russia didn't have an opportunity as a permanent member of the un security council, a body that was formed among the countries that defeated fascism in the 2nd world war. they had an opportunity to give their side of the story and they presented facts that are being ignored in western media and ignored in the high rate of western leaders. so i was quite a meeting obscurity counsel, not

a lot of unity among the countries. there. clearly some very different understanding of the dance on the ground in ukraine as a lot of people are becoming refugees. and a lot of people are clearly suffering very different ideas. indeed, lots of attention on that as i still planned from both sides, actually caleb and crossings in new york. thanks for that. now the new york times has reported that the ukrainian military used to internationally band cluster munitions and it's showing of a populated village in the north eastern hark of region. and i suppose it attack on russian forces in the area, but the cluster munitions that landed next to mister door shank, whose 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 were trying to retake the area. interesting article or what more can you tell us? well, i have mixed feelings about it because i'm the one hand, it doesn't,

it the, the context of the ukrainian military is a less exemplary then americans would like to believe. but it also presents information in such a way that i think is even more deceiving than the overall of reporting on this crisis. because 1st of all, on the article make, it makes a claim that this is the 1st use of cluster munitions by the ukrainian army. even though i know for a fact them, you know, we've been reporting that. busy along the ukrainian forces in the dorm bass region, people in the dorm bus region have been on 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, the russian military repeatedly uses cluster munitions as well, despite the fact that the russian military denies it 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 overwhelming narrative, a political line that they want to instill in the minds of their viewers. but sometimes they lead certain contradicting information to be printed in the small friends so, so that, you know, some seem or some doubt some suspicions could be voice. but not overwhelmingly, it's, it's an interesting article though because like you say, it's not very often we see ask, criticizing the ukrainian side. so why it's something that criticizing me. it's like it's sort of mentions the perhaps this may have happened above 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 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. 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 a sudden we have former american military covering events as journalists, even though there are lots and lots of professional reporters, alabama who could be well, i don't believe that 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 former army men. i mean, even among the russian army, they're not among the russian press corpus. they're 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 article 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

that was on a book, a speaking with my colleague nikki aaron earlier, now a chill, a, an american journalist who has been covering the conflict from inside your crane has reportedly gone missing in the city of hark, of fellow reporters now fear for his life, saying gonzalo leader has been out of contact since last friday. extremely troubling that gonzalo lira a us 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. leftists, human rights activists and local officials kidnapped, tortured and even assassinated by zelinski death squads and with key as open support. meanwhile, one of the ukraine's nationalist leaders has posted a series of tweets on his private account, mockingly claiming journalists might have been abducted and killed by quote,

some guy with the call sign chalet and other posts. he shows a photo of neo nazi fighters again hinting they might be the ones behind the reporters disappearance and even applauding the prospects of the journalists being dead. but the radical ukrainian commander has not provided any evidence, so the information cannot be immediately verified. gonzalo lira is 54 years old and has been living in ukraine for the past few years. he was in kiev when the conflict erupted in february and then traveled to the 2nd largest city hock of to cover the fighting there. he has repeatedly criticized the ukrainian government and armed forces at the end of march. yes, we did what he called the truth about zelinski regime. adding, he felt he might disappear as did other critics of care of some of whom were later found dead. here's one of gonzalo there as latest interviews before he went missing . you know, very real says the armed forces were nice, but they also integrated these new, not the hyper nationalist elements,

not just him to the armed forces by the way, also into the government itself. and these new nazi extreme nationalist, extreme ukrainian elements are poisoned the well, i'll be your gradient state. you can probably anti russian and this expressed itself in the government itself and also in its armed forces. there is a constant showing of be done by us reaching the break away public republic. so gone to nash and over the years, well about $16000.00 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. sheila is a foreign ministry, has confirmed to r t that they have been informed about the loss of contact with the journalist and

are now in touch with relevant entities to get an update on his status and location . we have also requested comment from the state department as gonzalo lira holds dual citizenship. so far the u. s. has provided no response, but we will keep you posted javier, who so apparently a journalist and former european parliament member says washington silence is because the west is deliberately ignoring some matters in ukraine if they would reflect poorly on cubes leadership. and i know i'm also not our family that we don't see any reaction from either washington or the major west or mediate. because that would mean they accept their dealing with a regime that is train every way to restrict the right to free access to information. even resorting to lengthy prison sentences and abductions. thus, in view of a number of the crimes that we are witnessing, we can say this regime was inspired by new nazi ideas. any war is dangerous and any workers upon and knows that. but we cannot allow journalists to be turned into targets. abducted or even killed were developed society that protects the right to

free access to information. what was seen ukraine is that only journalists who repeat the official lie like a mantra are locked to work. this is not military journalism, but military propaganda. it should be condemned. as ukraine crisis evolves, military equipment and supplies are at the top of the agenda to discuss the matter . archie sat down with russian deputy prime minister uri bought us off, responsible for the military industrial complex when you, you chest and like you said he was regarding state defense procurement. we don't see any serious threats that could undermine our work on the plan tasks in this area. perhaps this is a result of our western partners keeping us on our toes since 2014. we have had plenty of time to adapt to the continuous sanctions. they have been introducing against russia. we now have import substitution policies in place, and we have accumulated unnecessary reserve stock of critically important materials and components. therefore rushes current state defense procurement program is under

no threat material. it surely is a very challenging situation for our automotive industry. now that some key components are no longer available. if we consider the entire range of the vehicles we produce from trucks to buses, including passenger buses, we will see that the extent of locally manufactured content is very different in the share foreign made components can be very different. this industry is undergoing considerable change today. just like rushes entire economy in all other industries, changes are being introduced into the supply chain. so we're bringing new suppliers menu. of course it means that the production will slow down. obviously, we're open about transitioning to new suppliers and opening new supply channels to ensure we get the necessary parts will ensure a more sustainable production in the future. in some cases, it will mean the manufacturers will have to downgrade a little to use less sophisticated components, for example, to go back to a manual gearbox rather than automatic one. in some cases,

the scope of provided features will have to be reduced. but none of that will seriously affect the operational qualities and consumer experience that you need. by the end of 2018, we successfully phased out most of the training imports and military technology. i believe russia only benefited from this brochure. it means that we have secured all our future operations and are no longer relying on supplies from ukraine period that ukraine, on the other hand, has lots of large market. those several $1000000000.00 the country could have made in recent years could have boosted the ukrainian economy. but what's done is done. we're on the same tract, pres the member states of nato practitioner. the progress here is however, slow as the task is more challenging. here they supply mostly electronic components issue they were cutting edge technologies are applied both for several and military purposes such and then one example that has made the headlines is the air could m.

c 21 airliner. we started off by switching to the locally produce composite materials, and that's done by now. you show your brush plans to make the super jet 100 aircraft fully independent of imported components by 2023. and starting from 2024 to launch mass production of the least 20 just per year. this will meet the expected domestic market demands for this model in the foreseeable future promise. it will be a fully russian made aircraft. the super check 100 new and late 2020 for early 2025 was we will have to move on to ramping up mass production of the mc 21, which is a fully russian made airliner made up of exclusively domestic components. i'm sure we will learn from the situation, draw the right conclusions that will serve us in the future. so we're not on the moon. so we can stay clear of the global division of labor, so to speak to you sitting. and we don't mean to do this either. it's fortunately for us, the world is not limited to the us in europe,

which keeps slapping us with unprecedented sanctions. we think most countries, in fact, do not support these sanctions and are prepared to work with russia. but the largest bricks economies are among them for china, india, brazil, and a number of era of countries that continue to work with us to russia is on the lookout for new suppliers. right now. i believe that the russian economy will manage to withstand the effect of these sanctions and the pressure, you mean, it's a challenge and an opportunity for the russian industry for russian design and engineering offices for research and development centers to use their own modern technology and products in order to fill these nations and not give them up. and so i can see such nieces have opened up in almost every systematically important sector of russia's economy of it's a serious challenge. but on the other hand, is an excellent opportunity for companies to massively increase their presence on the domestic market and lay a solid groundwork for entering global markets in the future media. and that should

be l. $496.00 aircraft, or ill $96400.00 is due to be completed this year. thank you. so as you know, we have the 96300 produced in a small series and used for a number of purposes mostly for the special flight squadron, which carries the president and the prime minister and conduct special military flights. a limited serial production could be launched if needed from $2.00 to $4.00 aircraft per year to ensure long range flights. this hasn't been necessary so far. but i think the model is a very good one, praise by all the pilot, and it has had virtually no accidents throughout its lifetime. so there will be demands. let's talk more about rushes, military capabilities. us intelligence was quick to report that russia was out of its entire stock of caliber missiles within the 1st week or so of the special operation. it was and yet caliber are still operational, successfully delivering precision strikes on enemy targets. i fully understand that most of the information regarding our weapons is top secret. however,

that about what i would like to ask is whether our defense industry is up to the task of re supplying all the weapons. our troops have used up already on the like the caliber and i scanned or, and kindle missiles. how is it doing in this regard? just 1st of all, these missiles that you mentioned, as well as some others including cage, 101 air launch, cruise missiles, and bastion and bow coastal defense missile systems. as well as the above mentioned, sea launch, cruise missiles, the calibers east enders, and congeal fall all fall into the category of high position weapons. you modern warfare favors the use of high position weapons starting from the yugoslav wars in the late 20th century. hi, precision weapons are to a certain extent, more humane, if that can be said about any weapon at all. and that's because they can be used to eliminate military targets, such as parked vehicles, arms depots, command post infrastructure targets, and so on. east is high precision munitions, have the circular error probability of just a few meters switched along. they can travel hundreds of kilometers and have next

to 0. c p. medium carolyn, go out with her. now back to your question that was from as early as 2011. all our defense procurement programs have been focusing on production and deployment of high precision weapons discovery and all this time we have been building up our manufacturing capacities, william. as a result today, we can fully meet the demand of russia's armed forces for precision weapons, bullshit portion. since you mentioned the seaborne caliber cruise missile by which the fact is that almost all russian ships um project 636.6, diesel submarines. i carry caliber missiles with you're deployed on the black sea. they can strike military targets anywhere in ukraine. whatever else i'm not sure. the same is true for other types of missiles. yes. including the cage one. 0, one airborne missile carry. by the su hoist. we've asked you 30 and asked you 35 fighter bombers for the new court. we have a wide range of air to surface munitions, with a different effective range of power to hit different types of targets. because of that russia dominates the sky in ukraine. russia's major defense manufacturers have

contracts for high precision weapon production until 2030 or in some cases 2033 of those. these enterprises are doing well. let us show where they can plan for the long term. lee was and adjust their capacities accordingly. corporate c. so they also keep developing upgrades for these weapon system as expansion. it's a well built sustainable operation with a great future potential with and that's what's going on in russia in terms of modern weapons production with you soon. the ship was, well yeah, 30 minutes. that's when i will be back with another full and fresh look snoozed with us and says, art internet ah,

[000:00:00;00] with walking towards a idea of history gravitating to some moral. and it has to be in the one of the most generative and most destructive western concepts. giving rise to both with both marxism and liberalism, with a conflict in your brain rekindling the old disputes about the right them the wrong, the sides of history. still a chance for russia on the west meeting somewhere in the middle of to discuss it. i'm now joined by a friend in bar president of the jerusalem institute for strategic studies professor in barnes. great to see you. great to talk to you. thank you very much
