a with moscow called on care of to order. if troops in a besieged steel factory and are you able to release any civilians and surrender scores of civilians have managed to flee from the vicinity through safe routes set up by russia. i'm a senior and my mom because 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 with fierce fighting continues in the as a stall, industrial area in marble as a safe evacuation route for you. praying and troops to surrender has gone unused. archie reports from the front line of the war torn city. as you can hear,

the fighting, he's still ferocious, but from what we understand with troops are running out of food out of work, as well as morale used to be very little with 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. that's how the russian ambassador to the you and describes the west approach to ukraine as the un security council holds a meeting about the conflict with by for moscow. this is our team international. now moscow called on key of to order troops inside marbles as of style, steel plants to release any civilian hostages and surrender moscow seas. civilians may be used as human shields inside the factory to prevent russian forces from

advancing after no one passed through a humanitarian court or on tuesday setup specifically to evacuate the facility and other limited fires to take place on wednesday afternoon. but nearby, say fruits have been used, we heard from some of the people who managed to flee, missing it, but like my nose as we were living in the basement for 2 months. we are very happy to see you guys stay alive. when did, if i knew that everything was bombed and burned down? we lived in a basement, no water, no food. we just grabbed what we could do there. which cool deal on your ga. gov and a pregnant girl was killed. she left 2 kids and this girl was wounded. we've been treating her since the 7th of april, and i think she never moved like this before doing it. and now you are evacuating bright history. my sister and 3 nephews ah,

earlier on tuesday, russian led forces inside mario bal launched a new assault against neo nazi as of troops. most of the remaining ukrainian forces in multiple are trying to hold their ground inside the vast territory of the as of stall factory. their exact number is unknown, but they are reportedly in short supply of ammunition and food. russia says the safe evacuation route from the area for ukrainian troops to surrender has gone unused busch and lead forces, say they have been making very cautious, moves towards the enemy. positions will destroy as if still has a high density of building so. so the distance at which we are fighting is 100 to 200 meters. we are moving slowly but confidently. our units have identified enemy firing points and directed a strike. then you can see the explosion right here are correspondent what garcia was near the frontline in marble when russian lead forces launched a new offensive anti as of style plant. the last stronghold of ukrainian nationalists in the city here on the periphery of the as of steel and nod. what's

industrial compound. as you can hear, battle rages small arms, mostly as well as with ahmed 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 nationalism, 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 them that this is the end that their commanders and 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 slept in 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 alexanders to punish says, kills leadership is trying to prolong the military conflict despite civilian casualties in social order. she sco suddenly, 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

military personnel who don't want to surrender are the subject of all this given to them. the main goal of kia is to prolong the conflict as much as possible, despite the casualties and one of the civilian population. the decision of the each of the liberation of mario paul has already been made by russia. and we can only hope for the prudence of the ukraine and neutral leadership, which must 1st of all take care of the lives of their military forces, was by the situation in mario pl remains 10th. the un security council held a meeting on tuesday to discuss the conflict in ukraine, russia's ambassador to the un commented on how he sees the west approaching the situation. what on earth shows up on luckily, the west concern for ukraine in ukrainians is opportunistic, unselfish. ukrainians are needed today only as cannon fodder in a proxy war with russia until the last ukrainian annual. the jane member body that leads the united nations convened a meeting, the topic of which was refugee created by the conflict in ukraine. now the united states and allies unloaded a lot of allegations and accusations against russia. but as we just saw in the clip,

there re poll yan sky to the floor and defendant was russia and called out and getting 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 the united states and allies toppled the ukrainian government point 5000000 people have fled to the russian federation as a result of us actions in ukraine. and he went on to talk about political repression and ukraine, and our attempts to portray ukraine as being some kind of democracy. being threatened is just simply not accurate. you know, political opposition forces are being rounded up and repressed, have been repressed and for the past 8 years, they've been waging a war against their own population one year in the eastern regions. and don bob called out the us military industrial complex. he talked about how a lot of the military hardware united states is given to ukraine,

doesn't even work. some of these vehicles have not been functional and they just kind of been jumping them on ukraine and how the claims that it cares about you brownian lives. but at the same time, seems to be trying to prolong the con rosie running lives away, effort to hurt russia. he also talks about the impact on the european countries that are aligned with the united states and how they had been badly impacted by the sanctioned by the conflict. and based on that, he argued that you called for a nice fire coming from united states and their allies seem insincere and there's a legit concern. this is simply an opportunity to let the extreme, not the forces regroup, and continue their efforts not just against russia, but against ukrainian civilian. now, later after we heard the countries making up the security council, we did hear the ukrainian representative get up. and he made a lot of accusations against russia, one being that russia not allowing civilian to leave

a factory and basically is enabling and causing civilians to be killed. this is what the granting representatives that when addressing the security council, the situation in mario paul remains the most critical. thousands of civilians are still in the city congress of them, including children, have taken shelter in the as all style plant. they need immediate, save him 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. high officials for iraq creation car doors for civilians. now, prior to these accusations from the cranium representative dmitri poly and gay, 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 harm's 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. she'll buy, you know, by these extreme, it's anti russian forces that have been armed and trained by the states and ukraine . now, it's also important to note that at the security council meeting, shine it up to the floor and talked about the dangers facing the global economy. and how the targeting and manipulation of currency as a result of us sanctions, is having a very long term and serious effect, not just in russia, but in other places. now the world economy is being badly affected by these moves by the united states. and the escalation of the conflict. so i was quite a meeting at the un security council, a lot of legation 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 tirades of western leaders. so i was quite a meeting at security council, 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. the italian american journalist who has been covering the conflict from inside ukraine has repeatedly criticized ukrainian government and its armed forces as reportedly gone missing in the city of harker. fellow reporters are now fearing for his wife thing. gonzalo lira 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. leftist human rights activists and local officials kidnapped, tortured and even assassinated by zelinski, dest quotes, and with key as open support. meanwhile, one of ukraine's nationalist leaders has posted a series of tweets on his private account, mockingly claiming that journalist might have been abducted and killed by quote, some guy with the call sign, chile, and other posts. he shows a photo of neo nazi fighters again hinting they might be the ones who were 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 era is 54 years old and has been living in ukraine for the past few years. he was in cave when the conflict ruptured in february and then traveled to the 2nd largest city hoc of to cover the fighting there. at the end of march, he treated what he called the truth about zelinski regime. having he felt he might

disappear as did other critics of give some of whom were later found dead. here's one of gonzalo lear as latest interviews before he went missing. in a very real says the armed forces were makes up, but they also integrated these 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 poison the well, some of the ukrainian state. you can probably anti russian, she lives 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've also requested comment from the state department has gonzalez, we are a holds dual citizenship. so far the u. s. has provided no response, but we will keep you posted javier couso primarily 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 keeps leadership on. i know it wasn't around me that we don't see any reaction from either washington or the major west or media 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 worker spawn and knows that. but we cannot allow journalists to be turned into targets, abducted or even killed, where developed society that protects the right to free access to information. we're, we're 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. large

scale support, but no military intervention. that's how germany's chance lucy's nato involvement in the war and ukraine. ukraine has long been seeking membership in the western military alliance. but while the block has said it isn't ready to let in ukraine, it still has refused to give moscow any assurances that it won't expand towards russia's borders. ortiz ritual blevins comments. i saw the visual from them by an administration is now admitting that the u. s. refuse to even discuss russia's concerns about ukraine, joining nato ahead of moscow's military operation in the country. despite the americans knowing they could have helped to de escalate 10 ships. some pack that a bit, you guys refused. the folks refused to talk about nato expansion with russia just was not on the table in terms of negotiations. it wasn't we made clear that russia doesn't have a veto over nato enlargement. when moscow offered security agreements about the us

and nato back in december, 1 of the most important points is a guarantee that you would never join nato, that the man hasn't changed with russia. continuing to call for ukraine to being neutral state with no military allegiance. the response from the us and its allies was to continue to escalate sanctions by claiming that any attempt to restrict nato expansion was off the table. even ukrainian, president zalinski admitted that the alliance privately told him that nato membership for his country was not on the table. ukraine is not a member of nato. we understand that we have heard for years that the doors were open. but we also heard that we could not join, it's a truce, and it must be recognized. yet nato has still refused to give any formal guarantee and it knew just how big of an issue this was for moscow. we have made it clear that any further need to move into the east east, unacceptable. my good, we categorically do not accept the appearance of nato on our borders. it's

a red line. they know it. so after years of warnings, ignored by nato, russia finally launched its military campaign. and one month later, ukraine decided that it would finally be ready to discuss the promise of becoming a neutral state security guarantees and neutrality, non nuclear status of all state. we are ready to go for it. this is the most important point that the u. s. still can't seem to let it go claiming instead that it still needs to teach russia a lesson on the importance of a rules based order. the key point is that there are principles that are at stake here that have universal applicant applicability everywhere, and whether in europe, whether in the india pacific, anywhere in between. and those are the core principles that president putin has sought to violate and flout. and that are ukrainian partners, backed by the international community, have sought to dissent the principle that each and every country has

a sovereign right to determine its own foreign policy. so as the u. s. is western allies and even ukraine now admit that nato membership wasn't actually on the table . they're essentially also admitting that their refusal to be honest with moscow about the threat they posed or russia prevented any kind of diplomatic solution before. it was too late in washington. rachel blevins, r t ah, berlin does not accept any conspiracy theories from key if that's how former german vice chancellor sigma gabriel has reacted to ukraine's refusal to allow germany's current president frank walter. his time are to visit the war torn country. a far more dangerous variant of the conspiracy theories is declaimed by the crane and ambassador to germany, andre. mm. and nuke that the current german federal president, frank walter, sty meyer has been creating a spider's web of contexts with russia for decades. what is true, however, is dead then foreign minister, frank walter stein,

mire together with them. chancellor, angular miracle did more than anyone else in europe to support ukraine in an op ed published by their spiegel sigma gabriella dismissed accused allegations that stand meyer and former chancellor merkel had helped moscow build a pro russian lobby in ukraine. he said those claims were untruthful and malicious, and noted the financial aid that germany has provided to ukraine in recent years. it is germany's role as a mediator between ukraine and russia. that's now been tainted with these conspiracy theories. he lives, we heard from german geopolitical analyst rayner ross 1st, who says berlin should not be blamed for trying to maintain good relations with moscow. germany was always standing by the side of your brain. this is what we could see in the past 8 years, but germany was also seeking a stable relationship with russia,

against all the pressure of other western partners of germany, who always criticized this partnership. the west seems to stick very, very narrowly to the narrative that ukraine is, the country which has every right to act in the way it deems necessary up the moment to defend itself against russia. so criticism against any moves done by the ukrainian government is not really well conceived at the moment. the u. s. lashes out against china's efforts to provide security for the south pacific nation of the solomon islands. as washington's allies, australia and new zealand considered the region to be firmly within their sphere of influence, we are concerned by the lack of transparency and unspecified nature of this agreement, which follows a pattern of china offering shadowy,

vague deals with little regional consultation in fishing resource management, development assistance, and now security practices. the us delegation plans to raise the issue on an upcoming visit to the solomon islands while discussing the planned reopening of its embassy, their after a 3 decade hi. this china security deal reportedly allows it to send to police and naval forces to the solomon islands to maintain peace. their exact details have yet to be made public. last week, a senior australian official went to the solomon islands to try to dissuade it from signing the pact as cambra is concerned about a rising chinese military presence in the region. china for its part, says western powers have been whipping up hysteria. when we show the show, what we want to say is that pacific island countries and not anyone's backyard, let alone porn's energy of 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. we heard from joseph gregory mahoney, a professor of politics and international relations at the east china normal university, and shanghai who says the west wants to create a sense that there is a threat in the region. it's clear that this newly signed security pack between china and the solomons is red meat for australian politicians with federal elections. now just to 2 days away, us 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, can bear. it would like to imagine this is some kind of emerging close at hand threat like cuba to the united states. despite this elements being 2000 kilometers

away and not ideologically hostile to australia. 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 to sort of investment in trade that neither of those countries have provided. consequently, this pack speaks directly to their security needs and reinforces their economic interest. i pakistan's new prime minister who recently replaced the ashton to iran con, as called a for better cooperation with the countries neighbor and long time. rival, india. we believe 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

have fought several large scale conflicts for control of the region, even sparking fears of a nuclear war as both possess atomic weapons. but just last week, india's prime minister congratulated his newly instated pakistani counterpart saying india once peaceful and stable relations. a former indian ambassador to pakistan says the decision making process in his lombard is still largely in the hands of the military suppressed political changes make only a slight difference because in pakistan and when it, especially when it comes to relations with india, the army plays a substantial role, you know, they go addicted government generally goes by the advice of the military. so that is one continuing factor, but yes, you can have prime ministers who chose to who of a different group. but they will have to be careful. and i have known the pleasant

a prime minister shabbat chevy. ready for a long time, he's already able administrator. he was a very good chief minister. he's the brother all for a mr. know i should if i don't own so he has visited india and make to our last prime minister doctor montmorency um so i think that he will try and keep the relationship or no sort of balance we but in an argument analysis relations with india, his dues not the elected government which to the pakistan military which has the predominance see in determining that relationship. we also got some insight from a retired pakistani air force commander and security analyst, who says it's too early to be optimistic about relations between islam about and new tele. not under more did i didn't do the new prime minister suggesting

a good relationship in the future, but unfortunately, well, the problems stay as they have always been for the last 7 decades between india and pakistan. and at the same time, shabba should it may not be in part for too long, simply because the fractious, critical environment in august is almost pressing and holding for an immediate election. it might not be as immediate. it could be a few months down the line. but it seems that that could be perhaps the big name of the starting off yet the government going to get to know that we can not say that we need because it is a site would be willing to move one on other areas. but we continue to work on cash made and that's the thing to focus on. he's like to see. and then the problem is sort of unsolvable not by the standards of the unit c or the united nations as settled because that is where we all go to our problems. and that is something that is still very valid and rent in terms of the of so many, i think about 30 article resolutions on the united nations security council. since

$1947.00 and be stick to the old and b stand by those. and similarly and yet does, because they're d as a signatory, as much to those resolutions as it is to the united nations, as, as russia and all and all the other members of the b 5. just under 3033 minutes. that's what i will be back with. another phone for selection to stay with such international. ah, i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust or rather than fear. so we'd like to take on various

job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with a ah

ah, i mean, ah, i'm absent at junior, watching, going underground team and i will be back soon with a brand new look. does white nato nation in the you center shift, but until then we'll be showing some of your favorite shows of the season. so far. i'm action or t as in, you're watching a special edition of going underground 54 years since the tet offensive. the turning point against us was in the vietnam region that killed 6000000 as american forces fought that toward to make the world safer capitalism. in america, the youngest mayor of a major

u. s. city was waging his own war against unrestrained corporate power targeting his city of cleveland. his stand against the privatization of the publicly owned mooney light company echoes fights all around the world against neoliberalism. joining me now from cleveland is that mad dennis goosenich, former democratic nominee for the u. s. presidency and author of the division of light and power. dennis, thanks so much for finally being on going underground dam. i should just stop there by the fact that we're being warned here in london that vladimir putin might turn the light and power off in that your view, your thoughts on the fact that the nato, a briefing, we are on the brink of war in europe and the biden is preparing thousands of troops to fight awards. russia. i can tell you eric, from our american shide and talk to you from a neighborhood including ohio and no one around here. it's thinking or talking about war. people are just trying to leave their own lives. she gets her in a pan. derek.
