chillies. government joins in on efforts to find a chill, an american journalist gonzalez 0, who went missing in the ukranian city. a part of a week ago, after openly criticizing the countries leadership with several e. u. member states are now beginning to send heavy artillery to ukraine. after numerous, please from kias presidents, zalinski. we examine how that move is reportedly violating your own treaties against supporting conflicts with broadcasting live, direct from studios and also this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now let me put in has advised rushes, military to not storm the underground levels of a steel factory. that is the last remaining pocket of ukrainian resistance in marble and a meeting with the russian defense minister. you said that those areas should simply be blocked off and made clear that any ukrainian troops who surrender should

not be harmed. he congratulated rushes military on what he claims as a victory in the battle for the strategic port city. putting lagoon group, which was huge to i consider 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's 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 rushes defense minister, sergey chicago, has said that the city has been cleared of ukrainian forces with half of them eliminated. and about

a quarter of them surrendering the remaining fighters are reportedly hold up in underground sections of the as of stall. factory. meanwhile, gives president lensky has refused to acknowledge losing control of variable and says ukrainian troops are continuing to fight old. i. russian allied forces have been leaving. are you able to return to their permanent bases after the city was cleared of ukrainian nationalist troops? soldiers of the done? yes. republic, claiming victory haven't been receiving warm welcomes by local residents. but the formerly besieged city faces. huge humanitarian problems as local residents, like necessities such as fuel, food and water. with essential aid is being doled out on a broad scale. him are you able to help local residents overcome the humanitarian crisis in the city? archie correspondent, lancaster reports on occasion. in self barrios,

all are still living without the electricity or running water. they have these a make shift to kitchens, just outside of their buildings. they're still in need of humanitarian aid and we continue to deliver on a daily basis. so all this particular area, it's right next to us all of us thought metallurgy. a plan to and it is you can see all around me. all these buildings have been damaged by constant artillery. shelly at the moment. so there is no. a gunfire can not be heard in this particular area and all we could hear are air strikes. were russian aviation is bombing the remainder of the nation as would sell is that have been hold up with then as of style metallurgy plans and has hoped that the situation will soon be over her. it became scary for us now. it is still not peaceful. of course we are waiting for victory. so close up

a club as soon as the shooting starts. when people start to get scared outside they hide in the basement. they are also afraid that they can get hurt from the shelling medicine and everything else is very hard to getting up because of that and people try not to go out on the streets. they only go when they can make something to eat or help one another. unless villa we had such times when we managed to bake rats. there are 2 grandchildren and a little girl from the neighbors with me when we were in the basement. when we divided the bread into 4 parts, let my younger grandson put on his part and ran while the elder wine just stood next to me. i told him was me dennis, take the food and eat, not that. and he said to me, grandma, no need you eat, do you understand? what more can i say, we became so united that we did together and crowds, and we helped one another. we looked to whoever had something to eat, we caught it when the russian army came. if they brought a field kitchen with them and the soldiers came to us and said, go to the kitchen anyhow. it was very hard of the horse with just didn't expect

that something like that could actually happen. the julian government has joined in on efforts to find 54 year old julian, american journalist gonzalez, era who went missing in the korean city of hock. of a week ago, after openly criticizing, keeps leadership and armed forces, or even just one of comments. he cooled out the ukrainian government on its skeletons in the closet. he reported from the ukrainian side of the front. and now he's vanished or rather being vanished or so his friends via the ministry of foreign affairs, through its counselor section in moscow was informed that those close to the chilean gonzalo lear lopez who was in the ukrainian city of carcass, had lost contact with him since april 15th, last time lire was heard from he was in the ukrainian city of heart. and the allegations he was making would only have left key of very much unimpressed. there

is constant shelly of be done by reaching the break away public republics. gone to next 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 in the break republics, lira was exposing corruption and institutionalized naziism right from the lions den in a country that officially bound all the position media along with anyone else from speaking ill of the regime, the journalist had earlier raised the alarm over some shady figures loitering around his house. i don't know who exactly, but i know that convicts were released from prison. i hear from many people that the criminals were released by the lensky regime so that none of the civilians could leave carpet. there are rumors of those men who were armed, going into people's homes. this is a list of journalists lira put together saying they had been persecuted by the

ukrainian authorities for descent. put my name on this list if i'm not heard from in 12 hours. bleary tweeted, it's been days with great regret and even greater sense of concern and anxiety and more that i have to tell you that there is still no sign of our 1st guest, gonzalo liberal, and sadly the ground for concern is solid. one of ukraine's most notorious, neo nazi henchman, hinted one of his zealots may have had something to do with lear's disappearance. the irony of gonzalo lira chilion being caught by a guy with the call sign chili is hilarious. anyway, let's hope the beheading pops up on telegram soon. that post has now been deleted. after all, lira is an american citizen. he criticized the landscape is missing. while the lensky who choked of all disobedient voices on

a whim is getting international awards for upholding the values of free speech. gonzalez, disappearance definitely could be linked to what he has been saying, not only on twitter, but on youtube and telegram. he's been one of the key sources. are people looking for information that contra bales and to the mainstream narrative here in the united states that shows the land sky as some kind of great democrat when in fact he's this regime which is full of hiring real. nazis has been murdering and disappearing dissidents. and so the fact that gonzalo lira has been speaking about about this and is inside ukraine certainly could have made him a target for the ukranian government,

which tolerates no opposition at all. we heard from anna maria oliver harris of the land, that metropolitan council of the college of journalists who says that we're as disappearance may have been violent because he was openly critical against the ukrainian government. but still good. our concern is related to the situation that has developed in ukraine not only during the war, but also in previous months. some of the opponents of the current government have been attacked or killed. so we know that those who are not satisfied with the current regime are not accepted there. gonzalo lira would be among those journalists who would report on the internet about what is happening from what we know at the moment, from what has been published in europe. we have the impression that this disappearance may have been violent because of the criticism that gonzalo lira expressed against the ukrainian government. therefore, it is extremely important that the authorities of our country pay attention to this and request from the ukrainian side, a full investigation into whether he is still on the territory of ukraine. that was

not the only case of someone critical of cubes. government going missing as a prominent ukrainian blogger and activist has been found dead in the city of san valeri. cooler shop is said to have been killed when he left his apartment on april 20th and headed to his car, where apparently an assassin was waiting for him. the blogger was found with a gunshot wound to his head, and body, and arms foolish off has been using social media to help find people who have gone missing in the conflict. we also took part in organizing of charity funds to provide help for refugees. he regularly posted images from the city of carousel and talked about the issues that demanded public attention for the war. but some ukrainian media outlets have described as the blogger, as pro russian, and accused him of collaborating with russian troops who are now in control of care, a son. julio chavez has denied those accusations, saying that he was trying to help make life better for fellow residence. of the war, one city earlier ukraine's president issued to condemnation and threats against anyone who tries to make

a deal with the russians. who just because of the i want to address those who aren't shying away from talking with the occupancy. if any of you are tempted by their proposals, you are signing your own sentence to go the same way as more than 12000 invaders course. because so far there has been no response from ukrainian officials about the killing of valeri foolish on. we will keep you updated if there are any developments ukrainian president zelinski is expected to be awarded the german media freedom prize despite several western news outlets. having asserted that ukraine lacks freedom of speech. ukrainians, bella, russians and russians are at the forefront of the fight against evil, against war and tyranny in eastern europe and courageously defend their freedom, as well as ours, with words, deeds, great courage, and their lives. many ukrainian publications and journalists avoid reporting news that looks bad for their country or could serve russian propaganda. violence against journalists is commonplace in ukraine since the beginning of 2019 the new j

u has recorded 23 attacks on members of the press. the ward is presented to public figures who are distinguished for their commitment to freedom of expression, political dialogue and democracy. this year the prize is dedicated to the struggle for freedom in eastern europe. and in addition to the landscape, it is also being expected to be given to bel russian opposition leader for banner to colonel scott. i'm ned russian journalist, marina of sham nicola. we heard from journalist and author, daniel lazar who says that the western establishment pushes the idea that ukraine's press is free. but it's not. i think the un nato, a wind up losing at the, the information war in the, in the ukraine is all about the question of not the u. s. and nato, for trade. the, the cleaning government is a democratic government and therefore try to disguise the fact that, that, that not the elements are extremely important and extremely influential throughout the,

the quine and government and the ukrainian arm services. so this is the big lie, is that there are no nazis in the ukraine. that it's all russian propaganda that use as the ukraine i. it's free and democratic, etc, etc. this is an obvious for 3rd, yet all me the in the west our are cooperating and pushing the flying the new york times the b, b. c, etc, etc. and clearly that the war is part of that gigantic effort to disguise what the situation in the, in the ukraine is really about several e, u. member states have agreed to supply heavy artillery to ukraine, providing money for it to be purchased. and joining a u. s. weaponry plan, but that contradicts provisions and several cor european documents, such as the e u founding treating or to show davinsky explains the recording as president has the week being calling on western nations to supply his country with homes to find

russia and those nations have he did the cool you for example, have for the very 1st time ever falling on the purchase and the delivery of weapons . ukraine with this is potentially problematic for the you itself. as the move goes against its own rules, member states will not allow exports that would provoke, will prolong on conflicts or aggravate existing tensions or conflicts in the country of final destination. however, some suggest that instead of actually a crane, the use decision is only finding the flames of war, weapons won't bring stability. they will fuel further destruction and death calls from the ukrainian government. and its people for arms are understandable and difficult to ignore. but ultimately, arms only ever prolong and aggravate conflict. i'm there are all plenty of lessons from the history which show that pouring arms into

a country to actually help about bring stability. nor does it necessarily even contribute to an effective resistance. the western leaders probably think of that, so the promotion of democracy must go on. and so the ukranian craig case can be considered one of these. and as a consequence, the european union referred to that support in such a way in the sandy new weapons rather than to insist and to promote diplomacy or negotiations. i don't think that this particular area we'll support will be an example of political stability because there are so many articulated and complex social political gotcha sedation we deem while the you may believe that it's actions just that it can also allow ukraine to full the war is now

having fall wide around with occasions it is fundamentally changed. european folk collective defense policy on the reality of a standalone in you all me is now a major consideration. hundreds of billions of years will be spent on european defense in the coming years. but will really make the union a safer place. i think that in contemporary word, nobody to safe due to the fact that there are many new key our weapons around the world, those. but the problem is, is the fact that to do a union relied on the support of natalie. so the challenges station that i'm convinced that it will be the interaction between for the future european policy defense and the role of natal in europe. it requires a long time period, a long discussion. there is also a question as to whether such actions willing to make ukraine is safer,

place in the future to the use longest military mission to stabilize another country was in moly european forces on now pulling out from that african country without mission intact is 9 years off it began, now the weapons supplied the molly and all me remain van, now in the hands of those that you cannot control. and for some, this raises questions about the future of european, on the, at the moment flowing in ukraine. charlotte, steven sky off fee, paris a former, a group of former us intelligence and national security officials have published a joint letter warning that breaking up the power of american big check companies would threaten american national security. in their opinion. such companies are crucial to advancing us policies on a global scale. u. s. technology platform. some already taken concrete steps to shine

a light on russia's actions to brutalize ukraine through their efforts. the world knows what is truly happening in cities from mary polito, kia, undistorted by manipulation from moscow. in the face of these growing threats, us policymakers must not inadvertently hamper the ability of us technology platforms to counter increasing does information and cybersecurity risks, fake news, and this information abounds. we are told the big tech monopolies and their fact checkers are the only things protecting us from a world of lies. it is so vital that the information we receive be filtered. we are told that the intelligence agencies are now begging the government not to break up a few tech monopolies in the face of these growing threats, us policymakers must not inadvertently hamper the ability of us technology platforms to counter increasing. does information and cybersecurity risks, particularly as the west continues to rely on the scale and reach of these firms to push back on the kremlin, but recently proposed congressional legislation would unintentionally curtail the ability of these platforms to target does information efforts and safeguard the

security of their users in the u. s. and globally. so what can we take from this? well firstly, big monopolies are never really a big fan of anti trust legislation and the prospect of the government breaking them apart. so the good of the market. but more importantly, this appears to be solid confirmation. at this point, social media tech giants are a wing of the us state department. they even point to the same enemies, russia, and china. the united states will need to rely on the power of its technology sector to ensure that the safety of its citizens and the narrative of events continues to be shaped by facts, not by foreign adversaries. the russian government is seeking to alter the information landscape and it has already received by in, from other like minded states, such as china, pro russia or anti nato voices of all been banned or shadow band on social media. before that, the hammer came down on american conservatives with even donald trump, the former us president being shut down himself. these forces seem to be totally

fine with altering information. they just want to be the only ones with such a license, the latest movies you tube meddling and hong kong. they seem to have decided that john lee, the only candidate running for hong kong stop position is no good. he's now calling them out. the termination reflects the flagrant hedge, a monic tactics employed by the u. s. government imposing the so called sanction on mister lee, so as to intimidate him will not in any way affect his strong determination to continue to safeguard national security. mister lee will continue to use his best efforts to reach out to the public to explain his platform and to hear their views through many different means and channels. big tack and the u. s. government seem rather cosy these days, plenty of lucrative government contracts for silicon valley. so it appears that enforcing standard anti trust legislation and breaking up a big monopoly here. or there may actually get in the way of waging some of history is most sophisticated psychological warfare. at least they're willing to admit it. caleb martin r t new york michael reckon wald

a former and new professor and the author of google archipelago says there is a dangerous level of state control over access to information in the us. it's very dangerous it's. it's basically suggesting that we have complete state control of the media here. and that means that effectively we're under a state dictates in terms of what information we can receive and they're calling this all. this is all supposedly being done in the name of democracy and against the authoritarianism. but this is digital authoritarianism itself. so they're, they're suggesting that they are trying to foster democracy and fight authoritarianism by imposing in for authoritarianism on us while they're claiming the their cybersecurity issues that there could be

a cyber attack. but i think it really has to do with trying to make sure that the continuous vilification of russia and putin is on, in, on an interrupted uninterrupted. and that there is no tentative to that particular narrative. there is outrage in germany after an identified vandals drew swastikas on memorials to soviet soldiers and nazi concentration camp victims. the notorious symbol was painted in the colors of the ukrainian flag with nationalists slogans scrawled on monuments to soviets, soldiers who helped to liberate germany during world war $2.00 and $2.00 victims of the ravens berg concentration kept at least 16 such sites. have reportedly been vandalized across germany. we got reaction from the director of the simon wise involved center in israel. if humans are off the people who did this, obviously say that the russia military is acting a survey similar to the nazis which is not true because they're not denazi's. they

tried to express their anger and frustration to damage with the russian military. stories carry out in ukraine since the police we try to find people because as i said, this is not the way the best way. the most effective way to express the approaches . instead, it should be marching in the streets of germany, progress the, i don't think i read lising. so my name instead of the red army will lead to stopping the war in ukraine over in poland. the fate institute of national remembrance has started to demolish monuments to soviet soldiers. polish officials have announced their plans to topple around to 60 such sites in their country thing . those are relics of a bygone era. meanwhile, in moldova, the president has banned wearing the st. george ribbon, a symbol of his soviet victory in world war 2, as well as publicly displaying the letters a v and z,

which are being used by the russian military and the conflict in ukraine. and the dumbass here is how moldova president, my a son do as tried to justify bam. the promotion of false failures should be severely punished because this is a real danger to security in consciousness. we must say a firm no to war and its symbols, and insist on their exclusion from our communities. the symbols belong next to other symbols of destruction and death. in the ash heap of history. people wearing the ribbon can now face a fine equivalent to $500.00, but critics of the measure say that it degrades the countries values and insults the memory of allied victory in world war 2. but we need to be the descendants of the victorious in the face of the president's party. have been the reuben of saint george, even though they are living under peaceful skies. thanks to those who one word will to. i think this move discredits the values of the republic of moldova, as well as the ideals of those who celebrate the 9th of may as victory de isn't,

was more powerful, puts the president's party regime in mil dover has adopted a scenario inflicted on him by the west, which is also what happened with the baltic states and ukraine. unfortunately, they simply followed the command. why did they do this? to divide society the ribbon of saint george has always been and will always be a symbol of the great victory, a symbol of courage. this new law is spitting into the souls of the people. in austria, the committee that handles the side of the mouth, housing, the concentration camp has refused to host delegations from russia and bella roost at this year's annual ceremony. barking the camps liberation according to the austrian officials. inviting representatives from moscow in minsk would be incompatible with the oath of the surviving prisoners of the camp for peace in the world. ma 1000 is one of the most notorious nazi concentration camps, looking to 20 kilometers east of length austria. it was established in april 938 shortly after austria was annexed by neighboring germany. the camp held up to

335000 people. some 32000 soviet citizens were executed there. we heard from some austrian locals about the camp. yes. and the constant out. so my housing was a concentration camp, like many others in europe under the nazis built them of the people, mainly jews died there under inhuman conditions on this shouldn't happen again. never again mentioned in the unit. so storage greatly. so i know that things were terrible and more 1000 of being there with my school class. we looked at the buildings and the stairs of death said that was a really weird feeling home. what happened there is terrible 77 years had passed on, which was construed as martin fiend. it does without international help, the liberation of mouth house and would not have happened. the u. s. how to laugh if there are many photographs of the dead stacked and starved human corpses, the photos were taken during the liberation with those were really, really terrible images. you have to keep reminding yourself of that so that it

never happens again. the man rushes ambassador to austria says there is too much politicized sentiment in europe over the war and ukraine is suing in is stored in oxygen in the rewriting history. unfortunately is now an integral part of european politics in society. what is happening in regard to history nowadays to not arise in recent weeks or months? indeed, for many european countries. this is part of the political culture and political world view that has been very clearly felt in recent years. amid the anti russian sentiment, both in the media and in the statements of top politicians, i can hardly imagine this decision was not a political one. our work has made us get used to various unjustified accusations against us and the information blockade that they are attempting to conduct against us. we view this as part of the current european reality. it is clear, there is a disruption of the public conscience triggered by the one sided coverage of past and present events in ukraine. it is

a particular shame. this is happening in regard to mount house and as it insults the feelings of the victims, relatives, we will carry out our own action in full measure. we will definitely go to mount housman, representatives of all russian foreign institutions in vienna will be there. and we are also coordinating our action with the bell, russian embassy. so attempts to remove russia may affect the official part of the program, but that's not so important. we will pay tribute to the memory of the victims of naziism, regardless of their nationality. we will lay flowers at soviet monuments at the monument to the hero of the soviet union, general demi chicata bishop. we will nevertheless fulfil our tribute to historical memory. as a from this hour i will be back in about 33 and a half minutes of another phone. for sickness. stay with us. our international ah

ah ah . will to slither when you're catherine. i got doris with marguerite. she knows, would you liam of shift illness. and you can say it's a door storm agreement. the easier though in yeah, i'm not sure of video issue, but use dan billy peter the now bra see the but as either at the do gets what she of principal told us that it's not that i do so on the each, those go there out. not premier at law louis said yesterday you had sent our pizza dance. you are doing an unless she just that you'd also get hipaa teacher will get
