the program with breaking news. vladimir putin halts the storming of the ass off stall steel factory in the port city of mario. particularly blue which was huge to i considered the proposed storming of the industrial zone impractical. i order you to cancel it. this is a time when we must think, we must always think, but even more so in this case, about preserving the live and health of our soldiers and officers. there is no need to climb into these catacombs and crawl under ground through these industrial facilities block off this industrial area so that the fly doesn't fly through. once again, invite everyone who has not yet laid down their arms to do so. the russian side guarantees their lives. putting such an important center in the south as mary you pull under control is a success. congratulations. are joined here in the studio by art is eager donna who's across a story for us eager. tell us

a little bit more about vladimir putin's announcement will absolutely. the key thing to understand about this whole decision is that as of style or as of steel, as it can be translated into english was the final and is, remains the final stronghold of all the ukrainian, you know, forces troops, nationalists that remain in the key port city of mario, but it's been days since the russian forces and there, while the forces of the de ness can look guns, people's republics have been methodically and meticulously kind of clearing out this particular area. but the key thing to understand about what as of style or as of steel is, it's not just your regular factory. imagine a 9 story building, but going all the way under ground. so these are the catacombs. this is what the catacombs under, under this plan, to what the liz, this is what they look like. and some passages, for example, some hallways, there are large enough to fit a whole truck. so it is a very well, it's a very well easily defended area. and you can just go under ground and you need

a mother all of all booms to do at least some damage to the people and to you know, to the, to the soldiers that will be, that are right now, hiding under ground. so to storm a, a well, a stronghold like this would mean would mean casualties and quite likely, basically, the amount of troops you'd need to just surround and besiege this plant, which is what the russian president has ordered to do is probably roughly equal to the amount of men that russia would have lost if it was to go unto well, to go for an up front attack and for an up front storming. so this was, this was the decision that latimer put, made basically a very, a good old world. medieval. i could say tactic that has been, has proven effective all the way from the dark times. you besiege people, you cut them off from, you know, fly chains. and eventually they run out of food, they run out of water and they have no other choice but to come out because just

imagine image of the psychological pressure you feel you live and under ground, you are cut off from such basic things like taking a shower for example, you know, going to the bathroom and private, and how long can you, how long can a person, you know, withstand such psychological pressure? and also imagine how much food you need to have stored to feed, say 2000 people if they need at least twice if they need at least 2 times to, you know, to have to have a meal a day. that's a loss of count goods and that's a lot of preservatives. but russia has insisted that it will create and continue to create opportunities for them to lay down arms. and, you know, join almost 2000 of their brothers in arms who have already chosen to lay down arms and become prisoners of war. and what do we heard about russia about the situation there from russia's defense minister? well that if the defense minister has surgery shot was showing go, he has essentially laid out the situation, what it is like and mar,

you pull. and basically what the russian army faced in the city so heavily with nurses with russian and don't ethic republic forces have liberated mary you paul. the remaining nationalist forces are sheltered in the is austell plant. when it was the 11th of march, the number of ukrainian troops nationalists and foreign mercenaries was around 8100 people. during the liberation more than 4000 were killed. 1478 captured the others. more than 2000 are blocked in his austin nationalists turned almost all the residential buildings into a permanent firing positions. in the lower stages, there were armored vehicles in artillery in the upper snipers and anti tank missiles in the middle. and in the basements, there were civilians, as human shields and retreating, ukrainian, and nationalist forces were hiding behind. so billions as of now the whole, mary, you, paul, is under russian and donetta republic control nationalists and mercenaries in his

av still are blocked firmly. traditions, of course, we've been reporting from the area for quite some time now since the beginning of the russian military operation there, what information do we have on the ground will absolutely will a, from the 1st glance, the city of mario to looks like a ghost town essentially, because almost all buildings have been well damaged in the course of war because essentially we as, as we've been reporting from the city. and as we've been hearing from the locals, who were evicted from the apartments and whose apartments were turned into, you know, firing positions by nationalists. they have been describing some of the horrendous stuff that they've had to go through as they were essentially held hostage by the ukranian nationalists have. listen who is it not hosted? it's neither. we want down to get water. a sniper shot me in the leg. i didn't see who it was you that it was in an area controlled by the ukrainians. does dissolve,

militants told us that anyone who goes on to the russian control territory would be shot dead. please let him make like you didn't. the soldiers kicked us out of the deck. we grabbed our passports and money. when we came back to our apartments, we saw our belongings. food. everything was stolen again as of soldiers have taken everything, but i do do red, nauseous, yoga breath. i did not let us out as of the late shot at the legs of anyone who tried to get out well, essentially there are concerns that there may be civilians hiding in the as of steel plant or in the catacombs as well according to the russian defense ministry, those are the relatives of the fighters who are, who remain there. and again, according to the russian defense ministry, every opportunity will be provided for everyone willing to, you know, lay down arms and willing to come out safely. every opportunity will be provided for them. art is eager, donna, thanks a lot for walking us through those. the details. dmitri babich is a political analyst,

and he says that the decision has been made in order to spare lives. the lives of soldiers and civilians. far sighted, understand the decision not storm. the other plan is due to the desire to spare the lives. so yes, i don't see if there are something in there which is, you know, in big doubt. but in general i wouldn't. busy a stop which i guess i will call it just a more humane and more soft approach to the end of this battle. if the left door some could go from there. well, i won't. i won't read too much from one of the less will interpreted it's old and the russian holes that can be said for sure. staying with mary opal. dozens of dead bodies have been found within the vicinity of a public hospital rush and federal investigators have opened a criminal case on the suspicion and ukrainian forces are guilty of war crimes. a

warning you may find these images disturbing. this video was provided by russia's investigative committee and shows the destruction of the variable hospital allegedly shelled by ukrainian forces according to russian. and yet the people's republic authorities, they say $26.00 dead bodies were found elsewhere in the done yes. people's republic, fragments of ukrainian missile, intercepted by a local air defense system, rained down on the city of shock. george, with at least one person, reportedly killed the son. verified footage reportedly shows the destruction in the city where authority say a child was killed and for other people were wounded. the missile is believed to have been a touched girl. you missile widely used by the ukrainian military in other news, 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 u. s. is to blame for the war. he made this point on italy national television. good memory, good. but we must remember that this war, besides, every thing that we're talking about is a war of the united states against europe. the u is the real object of this war. the united states is interested in severing ties between russian europe and also china, a contributor to top italian media outlets. dorsey has over 40 years of experience, and journalism has track record, includes being a founder of several magazines, with a focus on history. and last year he ran for mayor of the italian city of turin and spoke with dorsey and got his insight on many aspects of the conflict. ah, or momentum at gmail dot com each other little. technically, it's russia that unleashed the war, but in my view, it's d. net. it 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 pull a 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 and 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 immense care agreements should be the starting point. but zelinski as opposed to that you sort of, i think that to day 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 deploy to weaken arrival power. zalinski 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 seeking to my own opinion without buying into the official version. great of if any. my daughter was in crimea during the referendum she worked. there is a photo journalist and sent me images showing people joy about returning to russia . that the referendum embodied a national unity that it was considered liberation back then, while covering the situation and the dumbass, 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 sanctions, never heard governments. in fact they heard the population and because of that they are moral. they are also inefficient. if their objective is to shift power in 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 leadership ping as warned against to western moves to disrupt international unity. to e mail me when the contract is for ship to navigate a storm and sale towards a bright future, all the passengers must pull together. he shoots the thought of throwing anyone overboard is simply unacceptable. when that happens, both the victims and the initiators of such an act stand to lose. in this world, unilateralism and excessive pursuit of self interest are doomed to fail. you can reject the bricks, emerging economies that 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 says western powers have

lashed out at moscow with sanctions, including cutting. some russian banks off from swift versus finance minister says the new system will help countries shift away from dollar dominance and create a buffer again 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 geo political economy research group says the dollar dominated system has been hindering the world's economy. europeans in launching the euro was the 1st set of countries, and in fact, it goes back a long way back when the dollars linked to gold was broken in $971.00. 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 band 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 are not invested productively, but are rather invested in speculation. and parasitical creation on the, on the income of a, of those who actually work for a living donor system has been deeply contradictory from the start. people just stop as though the dollars dominance was completely natural when they forget is

that it has require and 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 indian, the sense i'm not. and 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 just look at the map of this, the americans and the 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 leaving 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 consists of the vast majority of the world countries. and over helming majority of the was july asian, 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 and cetera, 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 thinking to lecture mowdy or india. that's what british prime minister boris johnson's office said 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 may still try to convince them to change their course. johnson has already arrived and is expected to discuss boosting economic, defense, security and technology cooperation between the u. k. in india, he said to meet with business leaders in the western city of metabolic on thursday, and then is to go to new delhi for his summit with modi on friday. our correspondent rtp seeing told us what you back 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 graham in is still about his johnson to explore oper should be used to explore drain relationship very in, out read to bobby and perhaps especially in 2 major sectors which is

defense and energy. because there is a certain viewpoint in the us and, and in the you need your country that india also needs to rally behind b. m. ok? countries as against russia in the ongoing crisis where ukraine. so we are expecting that redmond is john. so he's going to not bless you 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 strict a j partnership and cooperation and has so far been a new church has abstained from warping against russia in the united nations are we also expecting from still borders johnson to us in gas to reduce its

dependence, although it does not really dependent on russia, but it has been full for operation and strategic partnership with russia historically on traditionally china and pakistan have announced they're expanding their partnership as part of a new economic corridor, a new pakistani nuclear power plant, nuclear power unit, rather powered by a chinese developed reactor has also started working this week. the new round of cooperation comes as pakistan's, newly appointed prime minister forms a coalition. government pm ship was sharif, has also hosted china's envoy to pakistan for talks in islamic bod. geopolitical analysts, to san slum, shod and paris school. a technology and business professor benjamin shall say, close ties between the 2 countries. go beyond the current change of power, the new government, any government when it comes to a certain capital with chinese on definitely one

of the buckets, sunny governments have reached out to in the past, it's not 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 bear in mind is that we start and he's a part of a good relationship working with the show he's in the past. before a study recently gave it to paula, and his algebra and chemistry was an hour for him for 4 years, 5 years. and it was during that time also that the chinese development would relationship. who i see as a relationship or just the on any change economically, the, the china pakistan economic corridor is of power. mel importers decoy is 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 park his time. so any quote, 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 we can leeks founder julian assange is now one step away from extradition to the u . s, as a london magistrate 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 u. s. where he faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage charges, where he leeks editor in chief christian province and says the latest ruling could essentially amount to a death sentence for assange. 16 months ago this port ida

answered. i didn't know songs would mean a risk to his life that it would be equal to that sentence. while his court has been ordered will issue that been sentence. that is what happened here today. not you. he is alive is in the hands are pretty, whatever and board is johnson. they need to do the right thing. you need to make sure they do the right thing. they have the power to stop this too, and this to save a man's life and stop this attack on the freedom of the press. julian assange has adamantly and repeatedly denied the allegations against him. the london court had earlier admitted that assange might face harsh treatment and american custody. we got reactions from carlos pay, border alberta, our sanchez lawyer in ecuador, who, which previously gave him asylum and international journalist, richard med hurst ave, said that there's been a clear bias to resolve the case in favor of the us. this is very obviously

a political, political trial. honestly, given a pretty patel's policies. you know, i, i don't, i don't really hold out much hope for sancho because it's just last year where she was trying to make recommendations that journalists in 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 lawrence 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 or, you know, a journalist being shipped off to face 2 centuries in jail, but a few brazier is the needle. the united states has provided some guarantees to the british supreme court. but from our point of view, they're insufficient. that came after 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 respected. 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 repealing the verdict follow and this also has to do with the decision on next tradition. the last instance will be the european court of human rights. so as you can see for yourself the means for an appeal, a gradually being exhausted, and the deadlines are coming to an end. there is a clear intention to continue this case against assange and eventually make a decision in favor of the united states. only 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. on behalf of the art international team, thanks a lot for watching and we hope you have a great day. ah ah ah

ah ah ah, ah, a ah, 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 successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation, whole community. are you going the right way? where are you being led somewhere? which direction? 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.

awe. on november the 3rd 1945, just a month after the war ended. the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number 3 to 9 and select 20 targets to attack in the soviet union with nuclear bombs. the time was right. as the u. s. s, i was devastated by, well the, it either states last about 400000 people had the brit sloss less than the americans did. and the soviets suffer 27000000 deaths when it's 7000000 a by john kennedy gave us american universities commencement address. in 1963, he said that what the soviet suffered of world war 2 was the equivalent of the

entire united states. east of chicago. have you been destroyed? mm. initially the plan to attack the u. s. l was code named trojan, overtime it evolved into pincher bush, lego crankshaft, half moon, cold wheel, off tackle, and sherry, a dia, december 19th, 1949 saw the adoption of the best known plan to wipe out the soviets operation dropshot, date of attack, january. the 1st 1957, the plan outlined the complete annihilation of the usaa under the democratic guise of liberating the nations from communism. but those very nations would be wiped out alone with communism.
