i've been reluctant to work out the details of an arrangement with moscow. in the ambassador don bassetti as marielle poles, 5 ukrainian soldiers have reportedly surrendered on wednesday. this comes as russian lead forces step up. their assaults on the last stronghold of keeps troops in mario pulled. the remaining defenders are still holding the sprawling territory of the as of stall industrial plants. their exact number is unknown, but they are reportedly in short supply of ammunition and food. russian lead forces that have been making very cautious, moves towards enemy positions. more local civilians have managed to take advantage of when it's harry and corridors and flea their homes of the hiding in basements for weeks. some of them have said their experience. who's sick of home and we really need medicine in more humanitarian aid in order to deliver to different parts of the city. for the elderly people there with my mom she wanted. the most important thing is that our children all study in russian. it was a nightmare. how they tortured us,
5:03 pm
the russian speaking population. i feel so sorry for the children mutual enough. i'm listening, but like i know that we were living in the basement for 2 months. we are very happy to see you guys. stay alive. but if everything was bombed and burned down, we lived in a basement, no water, no food. we just grabbed what we could did in the jewish reveal on yahoo! i did 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 that she never moved like this before doing it. and now you are evacuating right. he's that i my sister and 3 nephews. ah. as russian lead force is evacuated, any remaining civilians from the area, the troops are now moving in for a final decisive back to legs ukrainians. in mario poll ortiz, marin gas, you have reports from the seeing. these is the last residential neighborhood,
5:04 pm
or what's left of it. that still controlled by ukrainian nationalists in mary u bo and they have done everything to hold on to with these machines out to change that with heavy armor attack. find me with a movie. yeah. close to the i was up still at industrial call. there was no go forward with just fine. those buildings with infantry
5:05 pm
can only do so much against fortified positions. heavy alma is called in for the heavy lifting and the troops, chechen volunteers in this case know where the weak points are right now. these are the fibers i'll cover a glitch that grew there, receiving, targeting direction from troops on the ground. once once they have those, all fish died goes that do its job. once everything is agreed, the action begins that his vow in position has a target inside attack is going through its abbey initiative withdrawn
5:06 pm
a bmc. every vehicle has out take place. foreign nationalists to keep the keep the price up day in day out for weeks on end, fighting for every building, every floor, every room after the heavy vehicles finish up, the infantry moves in middleton as my task is to follow the soldiers and provide cover for them yes, we are on the lookout for any enemy movement. every one knows exactly what they're doing. the as off nationalists in the industrial zone at the heart of the city, are in sorry, shape. they're short and food, water, ammunition, and morale. chechen fife is here fighting on russia side and who the nationalist promise to humiliate are pressing on. we literally go to their cobra. we remember all the videos that they made saying they were going to shave our beards off, because you can see who's being shaved now, their morale is love. many of them want to surrender,
5:07 pm
but some of their allies won't let them. russia has repeatedly offered them a sees far and the chance to surrender. the nationalists have refused. in some places, ukrainian troops were found shot in the back by their own as they attempted to surrender. it is clear that despite their situation as off nationalist mentality has not changed and the most fanatical of them are still very much in charge. more i'd guess give r t for mary. you both the ukranian, the military is being used as a proxy against russia by the us and its allies. according to former c, i a analyst, larry johnson, who says, washington is failing to see that keith is losing the war. this conflict could have been avoided. instead, you know, it is pains me to say my country has been in the lead of trying to
5:08 pm
destroy russia. this need for war on the part of the west is being fed and i think unfortunately down for us or they've been all what they've been to and dealing with russia. essentially i and i see it. the ukranian army is fighting a proxy war for nato, for the united states were finding out that everything that we thought you created to do, they can't do it. russia has been pretty effective because the reality is the ukrainian military has really ceased to function as an effective full harris force. yet within the united states. there's this, continued dorothy to propaganda towering major successes by the ukrainians where you can't see any of it on video because it doesn't exist. americans do not understand is that the russians for fighting to defend the mother like this is there. and in the, the ignorance is displayed in the form of so many people in my country about russia
5:09 pm
and it's history of their, you know, they continue to refer to them as communists today. really last us, serious ability to analyze what's going on. and they just as a very simple example, the fact that russia now has effectively sees the entire southern supposed to be prayed. he's ukraine major after all my life life ukraine is cut off. this is like having an artery and your leg separate, who can survive long with their x. that means ukraine economy instead is not just suffering. it's yeah, because without imports or exports, its ability to theaters people and keep getting kind of viable economy is we're going to reduce the intelligence community here is just oblivious to this kind of thing focused. there is more on the 3rd are focused on identifying the specific veins and leaks in the photos to looking at what's happening to the force. so as this pain increases,
5:10 pm
the americans are going to turn on the politicians that really helps create this mass. and every, every time job bite and tries to blame it on to most american voters are buying it . so then be blaming biden. the blind mean, the democrats, the sanctions imposed on russia in theory were supposed to damage lecture so badly that the people would rise up and off. it's having exactly the opposite effect. the damage is being done right now. economically, the united states is going to grow and increase, and this ultimately to be devastating. here our president, putin has congratulated the russian military on the successful test launch of a bronze new intercontinental ballistic missile his aunt maria phenomenal with the details precious defense ministry. indeed a says that early on wednesdays carried out a successful task launch of rushes, sar mod super heavy intercontinental ballistic missile known to the west. as satan
5:11 pm
to all the tasks, the ministry says were a fulfilled completely and precisely the giant miss owl was warned from playsets cosmo drum in russia's north commenting on the launch rushes president, one report and said that it would make all those countries daring to threaten russia think twice, let's take a listen with this is a big advance in the development of advanced weapon systems for the russian army. the new conflicts has supreme texaco and technical characteristics and is able to overcome any existing missile defense systems. it has no equivalence anywhere in the world, and there won't be any for a long time. this truly unique weapon will reinforce to convert potential of our forces reliably and show russia security from external threats and make those who in the heat of friends with aggressive rhetoric are trying to threaten our country . think twice. i would like to express my gratitude to everyone who participated in the development and production of the new complex. i would like to emphasize that
5:12 pm
when creating the saw mod only russian might components and parts were used. and this will simplify the serial production of the new missile complex. we 1st heard of this sar might, may solve back in 2018 when president putin and will 6 new strategic weapons. and back that it was announced that this farmer, 1st white was expected in 2022 with a weapon ready to enter service later in the same year. and from what we can hear it. now, today from russia's defense ministry might happen a little bit ahead of the shadow. that him is lensky has reportedly issued a gag order to stop his key advisor alexi at a sto, which from speaking on behalf of the ukrainian president, while kia has not yet commented on these reports, media briefings from aristo, which have allegedly gone a decreasing credibility. following a series of gas ot is donald quarter, explains, rumor has it. he has put
5:13 pm
a big piece of duct tape over alex, say a rest over his mouth, at least when it comes to official statements. he's one of ukrainian president vladimir, is the landscape foremost advisors, and like his boss or a stove. it started his career a long way off from politics. i suppose was british soldiers that wishing to see through the ranks, he rose from military commentator to the speaker of ukraine's delegation for the men's protocols. these days he's been making even more public appearances than zalinski. but that doesn't mean you should take what he says at face value. in fact, a lot of it is straight up fake news. this is the corpse of a girl who was tortured to death and gustavo, a swastika, was burned unto her body. that girl was actually killed by the, as of battalion in mario pal, something the ukrainian media even already admitted once again, our stove,
5:14 pm
it refused to submit to reality. as pictures and videos began to emerge of over a 1000 ukrainian marines, surrendering near mario pull in my report as a result of a complex and very risky maneuver. eunice of the 36th marine brigade, broke through and joined the as of battalion, which made this happen professionally. the city's defense system has been reinforced over and over key as loudest mouthpiece has made claims and had to backtrack on them. but perhaps it's not so shocking that such a person came to become a figurehead of the landscape administration. after all are a stove, it's chose to speak on behalf of a man. he doesn't even really like political as the lead to lucas group in some countries could play man with the traits of zelinski, could have scored votes only from crazy mother. he so unprofessional and stupid that he doesn't understand your canada and a war unilaterally. a war can only be ended by either winning or losing constantly avoiding the truth, being untrue to his own principles. sounds like political opportunism at its finest
5:15 pm
. will. he gives these frequent briefings till ukrainian public about the current state of the war and ukraine. which lets the fact is that they are brimming with half truth. they are brimming with lies that are meant to deceive the audience. and i think the ukrainian people are starting to see that the is what he's doing is he's basically waging psychological warfare. so against the ukrainian people he's using propaganda to shape and control the minds of the public. this is a fellow who has the cunning of joseph goebbels, but also the clumsiness of iraq's former propaganda minister. the guy that was known as baghdad bobby just keeps shooting himself in the foot. he says things that are untrue and the facts on the ground is just so different. the people surely at this point are realizing that they're being fed a lot of propaganda. meanwhile, germany's government has announced an increase of its foreign military assistance budget with a line sheriff than money going to ukraine. germany's finance ministers, they,
5:16 pm
they need fund will reach 2000000000 euros. berlin has already sent. he has mill, terry supplies, including grenades, antea, craft rockets, machine guns, and ammunition, but not heavy weapons. as comes as germany is economy rules from skyrocketing production and energy prices and the biggest spike in decades. a german journalist told us europeans are prepared for the backlash of sanctions over the conflicts in ukraine. of unsure obama unsure and can any fierce will now be inflated with only one purpose weapon supplies. germany's agriculture minister, some of them are, talks about food problems, but not because he's really worried about it. this is just an excuse to cover of the supply weapons from my personal point of view. there is really no sense to it. and on the contrary, it only brings hom, this is inhumane. it does not bring a peaceful solution to the conflict any closer. it only prolongs to war. it is obvious to me that the payment for these weapons is mostly been taken from the
5:17 pm
people of average or below average income. and in general, politics in germany is structured in such a way that 1st of all it will hit not the progress of the rich, but the finances of people of average earnings. here is another side of what's happening, not only ukrainians, the suffering, but germans will also have to suffer capitalization, say the weapons are necessary to establish peace, which is of course, nonsense. there is no plan on how to end this war. if there are other deliveries than some borders should be marked after which if these agreements should be made, but they don't talk about it. this is a road to nowhere. jail, wikileaks founder, julian assange, is one step away from extradition to the u. s. as after a london magistrate court ruled in favor of the need is now to britain's home secretary to confirm the decision which would see assange handed over to the us, where he's wanted on espionage charges. where can leaks editor in chief, kristen, her, athens and claims the latest decision amounts to
5:18 pm
a death sentence for such 16 months ago, this port, or actually, i don't know, songs would mean a risk to his life that it will be equal to that sentence. now there is, court has been ordered for issue that good sentence. that is what happened here today, like you will to live is in the hands are johnson. they need to do that. i mean, you need to make sure they do the right thing. they have the power to step through and is to say, a man's life and stop this attack on the feeder or the press. julianna's orange face is up to 175 years in the u. s. prison if found guilty. the actor, this has denied the allegations against him. wednesday's ruling comes despite an early decision from the same. busy court saying astonished, could be treated harshly and american custody. we got reaction from international journalist richard met her to believe the latest court decision was made without
5:19 pm
proper consideration. what we had this morning was really a rubber stamping i was in the court of virtually this time and i saw the judge eat, he actually had to legally speak directly to us on break down what's happening right now. and he told them that, you know, this is not really up to me. i'm duty bound to send this to send your case to pretty, but tell the home secretary for her to sign off on the extra mission. and you have a right to appeal. but you can only appeal after she has made her decision. so that means in about 4 weeks, cuz a sondors lawyers they have until may 18th to make submissions super duper tell her to make their case for it to not sign off on the extradition. cuz the ultimate decision does line her hands on and after that assange could appeal if she does order the extradition honestly, given a pretty good tells policies, you know, i don't, i don't really hold out much hope for science because it's just last year where she was trying her office was trying to, in make recommendations,
5:20 pm
journalists sending you k b in person for up to 14 years for you know, publishing government secrets, things that embarrass the government. so i don't really think she's much of a, of a friend of freedom of the press. again, i do hope she does the right thing because she, she has the power in her hands right now as divorced on some to take a stands for press freedoms to show that the u. k is not working at the best of the united states. and to stop a, you know, a journalist being shipped off to face to centuries and jail. this is very obviously a political, political trial. when you have a journalist being, you know, being charged with 17 counts as a spy, that's political by nature. and so when you have a political case like this, you can just when it, in the courts, you really have to win it through public opinion. it's a battle that has to be for us with lots of stamina, long term. and it's very good to see these assange activists coming out a quite often that they're very determined, they're very driven. it's actually, thanks to them that i and other journalists were able to get in the courts during a song just extradition hearing because they would queue up since 5 in the morning
5:21 pm
. and thanks to them, we were able to report on this. so i think it's crucial, i think there has to be a pressure on the boards, johnson government to, to block this extradition. they can do this, they, they know under the extradition treaty between the use and the case that was signed in 2003 under article 4. you can block in extradition if it's for a political offense. and again, charging a journalist as fi is. busy the classic textbook, political offense, and so forth on some pretty well they really do the power to block this. if it's on just health is not a concern to them. if press freedoms are not a concern to them, they still have the chance to block it for, for its political nature. and so i think it's, it's, it's power amounts that people put public pressure on the government. it's been almost 6 days since say to lay an american journalist who's been covering the conflict from inside to ukraine has gone missing and well console. and there is colleagues trying to track down the reporter. a prominence ukrainian near nazi has posted a series of and verified claims,
5:22 pm
implying the journalist might have been abducted killed. gonzalo laira is 54 years old and has been living in ukraine for the past few years. he was in kia when the conflict threw up in february and then travelled to ca, calls it to cover the fighting there. he's 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 after the other critics off kia, some of whom were later found dead. he's one of consort. there is latest interviews before he went missing. there is a constant showing of be done by the reach of the break away public republics. i've gone to nurse 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 people on the break republish. early we got a reaction from a car in bartlett, the very journalist him, gonzalo was speaking to and then to be,
5:23 pm
you just heard. she explained what else gonzalo told her. shortly before he disappeared. he messaged me explaining why he had been stressed out the day before saying is extremely tired, hadn't been sleeping. and that the, he said, the crazies are on the street, you could tell by looking at them, you don't want to go near them. he was also saying that people are staying in doors because they're afraid to go outside and if they do go outside, they're extremely paranoid about everyone around them. so he was definitely quite worried about his own safety. gonzalo is doing a lot of interviews, particularly on the duran channel, but also with other journalists. and he made it clear that he was aware of the dangers that being in car cove posed to him in that the cities overrun with nazis. but he felt it was important to be there to witness how things played out. he had a massive following on social media, particularly on his telegram channel, which has nearly 90000 subscribers. and every time he appeared on the
5:24 pm
duran and other programs, there was a wide audience ready to hear his d is because again, one other notable thing is he being and clark of was one of the sole voices. if not, this whole voice is in english language. speaking critically about what was happening under that zelinski regime. and under the nazi rule, i don't think any normal ukrainian citizen can feel safe inside the country, but particularly not his family because well, his name is now well known and the secret services will be looking for them. so, but i do want to emphasize norden, era ukrainian citizens can't feel safe within their country because of the widespread, a rule of these nazi groups in ukraine. tennis plays from russia and bella bruce have officially been banned from competing at wimbledon. you, kate, tennis officials say that decision was unavoidable, given the political situation, but they might, we're view the suspension if things do change, some of the excluded athletes. a high profile players,
5:25 pm
that as several of the russians are ranked in the global tub. 30 including currents world number 2 at daniel med video of a criminal spokes person to meet you. pascals has condemned their suspension by the u. k saying that wimbledon will be at a loss for refuse a by refusing to host to play as his some reaction to that bond from social media uses. brush in tennis players are to be banned at wimbledon. that's me not watching it. then keeping politics out of sports is obviously beyond the russia folks. i hope there are players who take wimbledon to court for this. this isn't about the russian tennis federation, but individual players who have a russian passport. it's like the world versus russia. now remember, tennis as a solo sport, let the people enjoy their sport. lack of reaction to the band from profess eshola g on form a sports lecture. alice cash flow. that is nonsense of course, because wimbledon plays did not compete on behalf of that country that not
5:26 pm
representatives of that country now playing individuals. and so i think that it's still time for wimbledon to reconsider this decision. there is this kind of rush of phobia going on, and anything that is associated with russia is automatically deemed bad. now that translates into sport and sport has in a certain way, understandably been ad clued by most of sports major governing. ready organizations, but when it comes down to individuals, i think we're playing a different game here because we're punishing on say, way. i mean wimbledon is punishing individuals for committing no crime whatsoever their under transgression is to have been born in russia or by the russia. washington is now lying in arms racing. as obits where the us finds president carmela however, is announcing a ban on anti satellite weapons tests. think it would encourage more responsible
5:27 pm
behavior in space. yesterday, vice president announced the united states commitment to not conduct the destructive director sent anti satellite missile testing, and to work to establish this as a new international norm for responsible behavior in space. this, by the latest rhetoric from washington, the u. s. had only a rejected several key international treaties that aim to ban the placement of weapons and all bits with american officials, claiming the proposals offered by russia and china were flores, the director of rushes. the space agency was cosmo stays the u. s. has apparently already developed its own code, the space weapons program, and retired us as boldly tenant colonel se washington was apparently putting enough time to complete its own weapons tests. first, you have to understand the messaging is very often directed domestically. and this is a political thing, the democrats in the fight and supporters in this country company and they are
5:28 pm
tuned into environmental health issues. and this is an environmental issue. there's, there's space garbage and we're going to not support space garbage. i mean, that's part of the message and the other part of it is so misleading to the international community, and that is some that because the u. s. is already completed the testing that it needs to do. and so this is one more way to point the finger at other countries specifically rush in china. i mean, if you look at the markets for the defense contractors that contract with the us space command, a boeing in particular, which is had a major role in the anti satellite activities. their stocks are, are fine, they are level and going up. ok. so there was no market reaction to a cancellation or a stoppage of u. s. government investment in this area, which tells you that either the investment is not stopping or it is already been made and they're moving on to other things. may thanks for keeping his company here on our tea international as always plenty more stories to be found on our website
5:29 pm
all tito con ah, we're told one of the hallmarks of western liberalism is the idea and practice of tolerance. more specifically, it is said, we should not judge an individual or group based on their race color or creed. but that apparently doesn't apply when it comes to russians. bruce, a phobia is the new bigotry ah,
5:30 pm
with which you will see it till about 20 or supposedly reco chrisy, but you will see i need finance here to what is didn't i wasn't what is proposed to go get go raise issue in the loop measures alicia menu me 0 is just for concern, but did it at the boat cheese to break things to store, but i want to show come back to biological experiments on i so just employ. yeah. like the skin you'll use me to do. i need to get it in your spoils
