many find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look for common ground. ah moscow says cheer has again rejected a safe zone as the besieged steel factory mar yearbook, and has refused to release the civilians and surrender. that's as fighting for the nationalist stronghold rate is on re report from the battle ground. what a movie. yeah. close to the field. a b, m d have a vehicle has out foreign nationally to keep them keep the pressure veteran italian journalist to angelo doors. he stands up against the western narrative and says, the us is to blame for the war in ukraine. he shares his thoughts with us in a broad interview. technically, it's russia that in least the war. but in my view,

it's the united states that prompted russia to do that. it states the number of publications, including with nato expansion, the thought of throwing anyone overboard, simply unacceptable. china, as president slammed the west, the sanctions policy against russia as bricks. countries prepare to introduce their own alternative to the western lead with financial system, which has restricted russian access and a death sentence, that's how wiki league describes a london court decision to expedite whistle blower, jolina thanks to the us where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges. with broadcasting from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now let's start with the latest development in the fight for the don bass. fragments of

a ukrainian missile said to be intercepted by a local air defense system rained down on the city of shop gorse with at least one person reported killed. now the terrified footage reportedly shows the destruction in the city where authorities say that the person who was killed was a child and for other people were wounded. the missile is believed to have been a torch cri you, widely used by the ukrainian military. right in battle torn mario pl. dozens of dead by the bodies have been found within the vicinity of a public hospital. russia, federal investigators have opened a criminal case on suspicion that ukrainian forces committed war crimes there. and a warning you may find these images disturbing. this video was provided by russia's investigative committee. it shows the destruction of the marble hospital allegedly shelled by ukrainian forces. according to russian and done yet, republic authorities, they say the $26.00 dead bodies were found. marble

is the main battle ground in the den. yes, the republic russia says she has again refused to use the humanitarian corridor for ukrainian troops at the besieged as of stall factory in the city to safely release civilians and surrender. the calls to surrender. have also been announced through loudspeaker in the area a publishing it, while 5 ukrainian soldiers have reportedly surrendered to don. yeah. republic forces remaining fighters are still holding on to the sprawling territory. the industrial plant. their exact number is unknown, but they are reportedly in short supply of ammunition and food. russian lead forces say that they have been making very cautious moved towards the enemy position, actions, but i got the reports from the battle ground attack

bought me with a movie. yeah. close to the i was up still, industrial nature. no go forward with just fine news. buildings with infantry 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 ah, right now these are the fibers. are covering this tag, grew that receiving, targeting directions from troops on the ground once once they have those all fixed,

i goes that do its job. once everything is agreed, the action begins. that is now in with attack is not true. it's administered, withdrawn h a p m d heavy vehicle has now taken its place. foreign nationalists to keep the keep the price of 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 us. our task is to follow the soldiers and provide cover for them. 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. 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, the as of nationalists mentality has not changed and the most fanatical of them are still very much in charge. more ad gazda of archie. from mario both russian soldiers have managed to evacuate more than 120 civilians threw safe routes from the sol industrial area. so say the army in the area. now our team has heard from some of the civilians who were able to flee from the dangerous vicinity

of the embattled factory who used in that histidine snyder. we walked out to get water and sniper shot me in the leg. i didn't see who it was. you knew that it was in an area controlled by the ukrainian because the czar militants told us that anyone who goes onto the russian controlled territory would be shot dead. so you know, you make what you didn't know. soldiers kicked us out. we grabbed our passports and money. when we came back to our apartments, we saw our belongings, food, everything was stolen up to redeem, as our soldiers have taken everything. but i do not see the bread. they did not let us out. and so they shot at the legs of any one who tried to get out. prominent italian journalist angelo dorsey has suggested an alternative view of the ongoing conflict in ukraine breaking with the western establishment media narrative. he says, the us is to blame for the war. he made his point on italian national television

memory, but we must remember that this war, besides everything that we're talking about is a war of the united states against europe. the e. u is the real object of this war. the united states is interested in severing ties between russia in europe and also china, a contributor to top italian media outlets. dorsey has over 40 years experience in journalism. his track record includes being a founder of several magazines with a focus on history. last year he ran for mayor of the italian city of turin. we spoke with dorsey and got his insight on many aspects of the conflict a my miss america, each other adults. technically, it's russia that unleashed the war. but in my view, it's the united states that prompted russia to do that. it stated a number of provocations, including with nato expansion. the united states figured out that it's losing cloud as a global hagaman. so it's behavior is a kind of

a reaction. it definitely doesn't want to put up with its new role amid a shift in to paula centric world. in my view, zalinski is now the main obstacle to achieving peace. it's obvious that he's ready to sacrifice his country in his people in order to stain power. he's also hindering a diplomatic solution if we want peace talks to succeed, then the compliance with uminski agreements should be the starting point, but zelinski as opposed to that new form. i think that today we're seeing 2 wars being fought simultaneously. one is being waged with arms bombs and missiles on the battlefield, whereas the other is unfolding in the media with newspapers, television, and the internet. and the latter one is no less serious. media outlets are being shut down and employ to weaken arrival power. zelinski himself basically silenced the opposition. so it's not correct to say that the war and defense of zalinski equals a war in defense of democracy. i have never before seen must media acting as indecently

as they do now. i'm struggling for the truth. second, to my own opinion, without buying into the official version. we don't have a my daughter was in crimea during the referendum. she worked, there is a photo journalist and sent me images showing people's joy about returning to russia. that the referendum embodied and national unity that it was considered liberation back then while covering the situation and the don bass, she managed to survive miracle asleep while her 30 year old colleague was killed in a mortar fire. she was very upset to see the violence that the authorities and key if used against the people of the don bass. your sanctions never heard government. in fact they heard the population and because of that they are immoral. they are also inefficient. if their objective is to shift power and moscow. furthermore, the sanctions have already impacted european economies. the italian economy has

already suffered and it's going to get worse. only the united states will manage to get away with it. probably for now the you doesn't see that i'm surprised by how short sighted our politicians are. china's leader shooting ping has warned against western moves to disrupt international unity. call me, are you going to contract for ship to navigate a storm and sail towards a bright future? all the passengers must pull together. he shook the thought of throwing anyone overboard is simply unacceptable. when that happens, both the victims and the initiators of such an ex stand to lose in this world, unilateralism and in excessive pursuit of self interest are doomed to fail. the bricks, emerging economies of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa are planning to hasten the introduction of their own financial system to rival the western lead. swift network. that's western powers have lashed out ad moscow with sanctions,

including cutting. some russian banks off from swift rushes. the finance minister says that the new system will help countries shift away from the dollar dominance and create a buffer against shocks. in case of a global economic downturn, bricks countries also plan to use their national currencies for import export operations and more closely integrate their bank card systems. the director of the geopolitical economic, me research group, radical decide says the dollar dominated system has been hindering the world's economy. europeans in launching the euro was the 1st 2nd countries and in fact, it goes back a long way back when the dollars link to go was broken in 1971. that was when the europeans began, a long journey to was monetary union who spoke was, was precisely to eliminate the dollar from their mutual payments. the euro, euro doesn't look in great shape right now. but that is just the way these things work out. so i think the russians, the chinese,

for the indians in many ways different countries are trying different ways in which to assert that independence from the dollar system, which has been extremely destructive. because the donor system rests on a sort of of a bed of financial ization, which is precisely what has been doing the 2 biggest economic, 2 biggest sorts of economic damage to the world. number one, increasing inequality to such an extent that demand remains a problem in the world. and number 2, ensuring that the vast, that vast amounts of money, we just rushing around the financial system. i'm not invested productively, but are rather invested in speculation. and parasitical creation on the, on the incomes of a, of those who actually work for a living donor system has been deeply contradictory from the start. people just talk as though the dollars dominance was completely natural when they forget is

that it has required, as i said this, this, this, this, this a foundation of a financial ation which has been destructive china is increasingly providing alternative trade partnerships, alternative investment relationships, and alternative payment systems and other such infrastructure. and of course, the russians, the indians is if i'm not, you know, i'm just saying that china now provides a competing goal. so you can, you know, in a certain says, you can look at this and look at the map of this, the americans and european, you know, acolytes, i try doing what they're doing. that is putting sanctions in russia, et cetera. in order to scare the rest of the world into coming and becoming part of that system you know, into, into believing close to the west. in reality, the effect of these action is to actually not unite the world under the domination

of the west, but actually to divide the world between a small part of the world, which is essentially the old imperial core of the world economy. which is centered around the decaying financial ais, predatory speculative american economy. and on the other hand, the rest of the world which consist of the vast majority of the was countries and over helping majority of the was too late, which will be centered around a more dynamic china. and of course, in russia and china get closer together as seems to be the case, then it may be a very off will do. busy because what china has, in terms of its labor force, etc. and what russia has in terms of her resources, and also was russia highly trained labor force. i think this is going to be the most dynamic dual ever seen not speaking to lecture moody or india. that's what british prime minister, boss johnson office has to say regarding his 2 day visit to india with russia

expected to be at the top of the agenda. johnson's office insists he does not want to pressure new delhi over its close relations with moscow, but rather might still try to convince them to change course. and johnson has already arrived and is expected to discuss boosting economic, defense, security and technology cooperation between the u. k. and india, he is to meet with business leaders in the western city of mad about on the thursday, and then is to go to new delhi for his summit with modi. on friday. our correspondence, our team to sing told us what to expect from the meeting. we are expecting that there are many still borders johnson, although he has said that he is not going to lecture robin is still not in there will be on your grade as russia, but we are expecting reiman is still going to johnson to explore opportunities to explore drain relationship, read, india, read to bobby,

and perhaps especially in 2 major sectors which is defense, as in urging because that is a certain viewpoint in the u. s. and, and in the u major country that india also needs to rally behind b. m. ok, take countries as against russia in the ongoing crisis where you're great. so we are expecting that. i mean, is john. so he's going to not be actually guys, but he's going to explore opportunities read. he can push india in a different direction based from russia, with rich india actually enjoys a strategic partnership and cooperation and has so far as being a new jersey lead has abstained from working against russia in the united nations.

we had also expecting friends, job board is johnson, do us india to reduce its dependence, although it does not really dependent on russia, but it has been full for operation on strategic partnership with russia historically on traditionally, china and pakistan have announced that they are expanding their partnership as part of a new economic court or a new pakistani nuclear power unit powered by a chinese developed rector, has also started working this week. the new round of cooperation comes as pakistan's, newly appointed prime minister forms a coalition government pm. shabazz sharif has also hosted chinese envoy to pocket stanford talks in islamic bod. geopolitical analyst, hassan islam shot and paris at school of technology and business. professor benjamin shall say, close ties between the countries go beyond the current change of power. the new government,

a chinese on definitely one of the bank is funding governments have reached out to in the past it's non subject to the genome. governments. it's beyond the governments. it's a strategic state to state relationship. so this was really much expected. and the 2nd thing in mind is that he's a part of a good relationship with in the past before 5 years to even begin to paula and his algebra and chemistry was all of them for 4 years, 5 years. and it was during that time also that the chinese to win relationship a relationship with the on any change economically the, the china pakistan economic corridor is all power, mal importers. decoy. it's not just about connectivity is about cooperation,

industrialization of your culture and tourism. it is estimated that decoy dog would create 2300000 jobs between 20152030. and he would add 2 to 2.5 percent h points to the pakistan. so any recalls the value of this project is worth about $62000000000.00 us dollars as of 2020 more than all the foreign direct investment in pakistan. since 1970 wikileaks founded join a sancha is now one step away from extradition to the united states. as a london magistrate's court has ruled in favor of the move, it's now up to britain's home secretary to confirm the decision which would c assange handed over to the us, where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges wiki leeks editor in chief christian referencing says that the latest ruling could essentially amount to

a death sentence for assange. 16 months ago this port are actually writing songs would mean a risk to his life that it would be equal to that sentence. now this court has been ordered issue that been sent and that is what happened here today. not julians alive is in the hands of many patel and boarders johnson. they need to do that. i think you need to make sure they do the right thing. they have the power to stop that too, and this to save a man's life and stop this attack on the freedom of the press. agility massage has adamantly and repeatedly denied the allegations against him. the london court had earlier admitted that the songs might face harsh treatment in american custody, who got reactions from carlos of ada assange. his lawyer in ecuador, which previously gave him asylum and international journalist, richard mentors. they say that there has been

a clear bias to resolve the case in favor of us. this is very obviously a political, political trial, honestly, given a pretty mattel's 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 to make recommendations that journalists and the u. k. be imprisoned for up to 14 years for you know, publishing government secrets, things that embarrassed 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, she has the power in her hands right now, as does more as johnson to take a stance for press freedoms to show that the u. k is not working at the past of the united states and, and to stop a, you know, a journalist being shipped off to face 2 centuries in jail. but if you praise yeah, is the needle the united states has provided some guarantees to the british supreme court. but from our point of view, there insufficient that came off to a court of previous instance, refused extradition. the guarantees do not employ any real control. and in other similar cases, such guarantees have not been respect. nevertheless,

they became the main argument on the basis of which the supreme court agreed to the extradition and accepted the u. s. appeal. we have until may 18th to submit our arguments for consideration to the interior minister, pretty patel. after that certain procedures for appealing the verdict follow. and this also has to do with the decision on extradition. the last instance will be the european court of human rights. as you can see for yourself, the means for an appeal are gradually being exhausted, and the deadlines are coming to an end. there is a clear intention to continue this case against the sun and eventually make a decision in favor of the united states. it is obvious that this case will lead to a conflict of enormous proportions in the political arena and in the field of human rights protection. just days before the deciding vote, french incumbents, menu micron has squared off against a challenge or marine the pen in the national debate wing in on the future of the e u. sorry, cost of living and the ukraine conflict. that edition, i believe again,

you were one of the 1st european politicians back in 2014 to recognize the outcome of the annexation of crimea. why did you do it? and i say this with great gravity tonight because for our country, this is bad news because you depend on russian power and you depend on mr. couldn't, i mean, you're not a manual micron has access to all the information of the french intelligence services knows perfectly well that what he's saying is false. you know, he knows perfectly well that i am a woman who is absolutely and totally free and that i defend france because i am a patriot. and i have demonstrated it all my life in france and the french people always in all circumstances. well, it was less stormy than what we saw back in 2017, up in the pen kept her cool in this debate. a while president mack on was the one that was on the attack, tearing into her on a various a number of subjects. i you heard there

a bit about that bank loan that la pens party took back in 2015 from a russian bank. now president mack on accused of therefore being dependent on president putin saying that he was her banker, she hit back and said, look, you know, we could not get a loan here in france and we had to go elsewhere for that loan. it's a loan that we continue paying back and it has been scrutinized to make sure that it is proper and all above board. she then herself hit back at president mack on say, hey, it's you that's been cozying up to the russian leader over the last few years. inviting him to versailles to your summer home, down in the south of france. mac on responded to that. well, i was inviting a foreign leader and not my banker. now a snap poll off to the debate which lasted several hours suggested that 59 percent of those who watched will more convinced by mack corns. performance holes are

suggesting that this is an election that macro will when to get a 2nd turn the 1st time that any president will have done that in the last 20 years . and he is clearly aware that with that debate, why one of the reasons why he went on the attack is because he's aware that this is his election to lose that. does it for me this, our stay with us throughout the day for more news and commentary, this is our to interact with for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer?

high solutions for community. are you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with

ah, lisa canter, russian state little narrative. i've studied as i phone and the most landscape div us. mm hm. now not ingles, house runs them up for a group in the 55 we did. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. when else was about this even with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine. the state aren't russia today, and switch r t spoke neck. even our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube with pushy videos, if even close to chat

with you will see it deliberately are supposedly reco. gracie, you push him will see i need to. i was here to what is in time with abilities, parental stability still raise issue in the global measures unless you mean you, me 0 is just put them in there, but you do it to build cheese to break things, to stall. but i want to show that you come back to by logical experiments on so just employ, excuse me, should you use me to do any, can you use boys also dionisio with

with them, or do i do browser my soon? but i was ania miscommunicating.
