a just ah, with the media outlets a comp, a controversial and on verify ukrainian claimed that a bootleg masika has taken place in the dumbass city of mario pope. questions prime minister tries to win dia toward supporting the western storm on ukraine with boris johnson pledging a $100000000.00 deal package during his visit to new delhi. actually an american journalist who's been missing a new crane for the past week reveals he's being held by key of security service is coming to wave of repressions against opposition, bloggers, politicians, and reporters in the country. also they have love residential neighborhood

that was held by ukrainian matching with we report from outside the fortified as of sel factory and mario paul, where russian forces have blocked off remaining ukrainian troops off to vladimir putin order to avoid storming the stronghold. ah one welcome bist is asi international with the latest world news headlines. thank you for joining us . now, western media outlets have claimed another boucher has been found near murray all pol according to report based on satellite images provided by a company maintained by the pentagon. this comes off to a pro key of official alleged that up to 9000 mario post civilians were buried in the nearby village of monkish latino. maria for national joins me in the studio with the details. maria, thank you for come again. so what exactly are these claims based on to hi, nicky,

a interesting that just day after rushes, the fence minister reported that now you police now on the total control of the russian army with signs of normality, life and safety. finally, coming back to the c t totally out of the blue, the cities may or claims. all of a sudden that russians have been buried civilians in thousands, in the village of mon goes outside murray. you will to hide his words there, barbaric, war crimes. he even describes that they have been using trucks to collect dead corpses on the trees and dumped them in to freshly dug trenches. there is no reaction so far from russia's defense, ministry was still waiting for it, but the mayor has been quick to describe. but as genocide, let's say listen the biggest war crime of the 21st century was committed in mary. you paul, this is the new bobby, are now putin as exterminating ukrainians. she has already killed tens of thousands of civilians in mary paul. and this requires

a strong reaction from the entire civilized world. everything must be done to stop this genocide. there are still many questions in the story of 1st and re claims that the russian is happening to and the whole april. the question is why it is only now that he decided to make this story public. if he was aware all this time about that. next he talks about civilians. how did he make this conclusion that he visit the site? this is very likely because it's been everywhere in the news that the mayor left mary, you pull at the end of march because there was no connection there. so he had to flee the c t, so he is unlikely on the ground. otherwise, we could see the pictures, i guess. so speaking about pictures shortly after the majors claims the u. s. max, our technology company released satellite images apparently showing the same site that the mayor talked about. and they claim that there are off grades. they are on the pictures, but if you look at those images, it's really hard to say what you can see. they're like, i mean they are

a little bit blurred and it's, it's really hard to make any conclusion based on this particular picture. so we have that we have the b as words and that's it. but the mainstream media have been really quick to pick it up and to, to spread these claims and to quote, genocide, war crimes and other like strong words. and that indeed reminds us about the another media story around the right in town of butcher. and i call the media because there was a lot of media attention involved in that story. while little facts and little evidence from the ground to remind you. days after the russian army left the town of butcher north of kias b. d, i started emerging apparently showing dead by his line on the street and key of a use they these videos as the avid and so they presented it as the evidence of mass killings of civilians and walk crimes committed by the russian army russians, defense ministry and official most going,

even what mary came out to describe it as a fake and to deny all the allegations but the west was very quick to be on key upside to support key to believe here. and even there were several packages of economic sanctions against russia before any independent investigation this high, by the way, there was a video post the prior to all that, that the video of the mayor of watch happily announcing that they rational cubans had finally gone, say shortly after boucher crane asked for more weapons and some of these requests were satisfied. and now we don't hear about bootstrap at all anymore in and in use . but we still continue receiving evidence that some tried actually to play dirty, to push accusations of atrocities and butcher on to more. now listen to one of the printing refugees. he is originally from here, but now he's in europe. and this is his testimony. so machine or

both, but the 1st one man came up to me, then another joined him faster. i was coming from an if i was a refugee, i replied that i was from care. they said they had off is regarding germany, switzerland, spain, and so on. that i could go that and i would have everything that they said they would give me a password, which i would show to the police and they would take me to a refugee camp here. they would then have to question me that last what i was supposed to tell the police. and then they told me to say that i'm from berkshire, not kim. they want me to say that the russians came to but started bombing and killing civilians shooting, raping and rubbing with. and i would need to confirm this and they would record on video to be so is it another tragedy in other media bombshell? that's actually the question that i would like to know the answer to. well, we have the satellite images code to see all of this company, max up, how credible all day. a 1st of all,

you have to look at this picture. it's really hard to say what you can see there, and it's really hard again to make any conclusion based on these series and 2nd macs. our company is the same company whose satellite images, again were involved in butcher story. and we used as evidence again to support the idea of the russian army can making war crimes there. but they were turkish investigators. later they released a huge research on that and they proved that some of these pictures were false. and some of the cases the company was selling shadows for buddies and they were playing with dates of course also. so we know that this company is maintained by pen to go. so maybe this company has some interest in this story. let's take a listen max. our enables the u. s. department of defense and its allies to better monitor, understand and respond to global events, deter threats,

and ensure global security. together the many elements of max are can help the d o . d meet it's far reaching modernization goals, maintain decision advantage, and rapidly identify and predict change. so what we need here is proper independent investigation, just like in the story of butcher. but again, unfortunately, we only hear about accusations and actually claims that they were crime and that they worked and they had bite rations. as a matter of fact, maria, thank you for coming in, and i thought more if an ocean now, what is prime minister has also touched upon the situation in ukraine during his talks with his indian towns, parks new range remotely in new delhi or stone from underlines to india's leader has been quote, very strong gone. russia has actions and ukraine just bought moti himself, early stopping short of criticizing moscow while calling for an open investigation into claims of war crimes. did you also find minnesota to use interests in

moscow to put pressure on russia? indians actually and they're intermedia in particular have of come out and been very strong in their language about what's happened in boucher and talking to a to in the render to prom. mr. moody, today it's, it's clear that he has already intervene several times, hong met boot. josh, i had met recently. the news of innocent civilians being killed in the city of butcher is very worrying. we immediately condemn this and have also demanded an independent investigation to him. and we hope the ongoing talks between rush from ukraine who showed the path to peace prime minister, not in them or b, and his biggest challenge abad bore is johnson in deb bilateral meeting. there was a consensus on seeing. ringback the dialogue for the mitigation of the agreement, guys, prices for both the lead does actually indicated that they respected each other,

sovereignty the respective each other's point of view. and there was also a big indication that borders johnson is very different from present. or by do he allowed brand new student learning the more the feel. if dean is 30 j defendants resolve, we are, he did not push india. d o don some dance, rochelle, which i'm present. joe biden. warranty to lawyers. johnson is hoping, quote, a free trade agreement, re the india mater are the same time. there was no, oh no, a doctor, no issue or discussion about ya, strategic partnership. russia, there was no harm points raised to omar. the fact that india has a neutral and has not supported any against russia,

or would you being in crisis? in fact, although has been damned, will just feelings. but there's also put an investigation and has not taken the same stance as we need to countries on july american journalists, gonzalo lira has reappeared online on friday, revealing the had been held by ukraine security service for the past 7 days. is reason disappearance in the city of hong kong. sparks reports have been taken hostage or even even killed by radical forces, either his critical coverage of kids handling the situation in the country. i just want to say that i'm fine physically. i'm a little rattle. i was picked up by the b u on friday, april 15th, at a little after 1 pm local time, but i'm still in and for the time being, i cannot leave things. all lira has been living in ukraine for months. he's

a vocal critic of care of military actions while also exposing far rights movements among the countries troops. he's been posting reports on social media, which he says of the bunk camps claims about what's really happening on the ground . meanwhile, ukraine's president recently went on the record threatening anyone who refuses to remain loyal to key f, who just because of the i want to address those who aren't shying away from talking with the occupant team. if any of you are tempted by their proposals, you're signing your own sentence to go the same way as more than 12000 invaders coaches cuz i see the goes on of explains why gonzalo near rock could have attracted the attention of king security forces. lira was exposing corruption and institutionalized naziism right from the lions den in a country that officially band all a 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 this a lensky regime, so that none of the civilians could leave carcass. there are rumors of those men who were armed going into people's homes. this is a list of journalists, lee were 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 while zalinski, who choked off all disobedient voices on a whim, is getting international awards for upholding the values of free speech. he's been one of the key sources. are people looking for um, information that are conservation to the or mainstream narrative here in the united states that are shows zalinski as some kind of um, great, democrat. when in fact he's this, this regime which is full of sig hiring,

real nazis on has been murdering and disappearing dissidents. um and so the fact that gonzalo lira has been speaking about, about this end is inside ukraine. ah, certainly could have made him a target for the ukranian government. ah, which tolerates no opposition at all. another controversial story has also occurred in hong kong where a young woman was detained and humiliated by a pro t as knob. as to saying she'd be happy to say russian lead troops in the ukrainian city. this, i really hope that they will get here soon and capture as because i will finally can go home. then can we go there if militia takes it? shortly after that footage was posted, members of ukrainian nationalist organization approached to and detained the woman without any police presence. they found her sitting inside her car while they

threatened violence against her. the radicals then reportedly handed her over to ukraine security services, where she recorded the following video, while possibly speaking under duress. shows him his love. i talked with a friend about how lugens republic troops can enter lies a chance. i am very sorry for this. please excuse me. i said to match, i am grateful to the armed forces of ukraine for protecting us glory to ukraine. silvers this order soon. earlier, a prominence ukrainian blogger and activist was shot dead in the city of kirsten. after here to accuse local authorities of sending people to the front lines without any protection or training well to school, it was i just watched a video with the dead guys who thought they were protecting our city. they had nothing, just arm bands. they were making molotov cocktails. i want to ask the authorities, do you fear these people will visit you in your dreams?

the people whom you sit there for some reason. it is a crime. valerie coolly, chavez said to have been killed when he left his apartment on april the 20th and headed to his car, where apparently an assassin was waiting for him. the blogger was found with gunshot wounds to his head, body and arms finish off had been using social media to help find people who have gone missing in the conflict. he also took part in organizing a charity funds to provide help for refugees. he regularly posted images from the city of cus and, and talked about issues that demanded public attention. of some ukrainian media outlets had described the blogger as pro russian, and accused him of collaborating with the russian troops who are now in control of caisson cooler show of had denied those accusations, saying he was only trying to help make life better. a fellow residence of the war, twin cities so far, there has been no response from ukrainian officials regarding his death. now the

eas top diplomat has admitted there is no unity in europe on cutting energy ties with russia. joseph burrell made the statement following the late, his talks in brussels on a new round of sanctions against moscow. i can't give a date. every one can speculate, but as far as i know, there is no proposal on the table. but there are options on the best way to do it. attacks and import band the iranian system. it's got the latest details now for marty charlotte gibbons keisha like to see what exactly do we know about the youth position on sanctions against russia? well, this idea of an outright embargo, an oil and gas is pretty difficult for the you to achieve. and that's because we know while some nations are pressing for this, there are other nations that say no, this won't happen. one for example, is hungry. victor open the leader of that country saying in the last few weeks it's such an embargo would be a red line for his country. we know that this is

a difficult step for the european union. and as such, also in that interview use, if burrell talked about what could be done instead, he was saying that this could be a voluntary decision, a collective decision with nations deciding to take their own to be able to stop paying into the kremlin coffers when it comes to these forms of russian energy imports. what's interesting is, while you nations are still mulling over whether or not they should look for this outright band. there is a warning from washington that an e u blockade on both oil and gas could actually cripple western economies in the near future. this is something that's come out from the us treasury secretary, janet yerra jaelyn, who said that, you know, she warned that this could precipitate a crisis like we saw in the 19 seventy's which led to a global recession. and that could also boost the price of fossil fuels,

meaning that russia could sell that energy else were an increase its revenue as a result from that. also coming up from washington, interesting lines from joe biden. in the last few days, he's been talking about this idea of western unity saying that president putin expected nato allies and other western countries to crack. and he says, we haven't done that and we won't do that. we are in agreement to continue supporting ukraine when it comes to sending armaments and also other military, as well as financing to the country. joe biden saying that the west wouldn't allow ukraine to stand alone. he also said that some of the russian gains that have been seen in the east in the last few days would be short lived. however, there is one will be to the disagrees with that assessment. and that is boris johnson. forrest johnson talking as he's in india for

a round of trade talk saying that the reality was it was a realistic possibility that russia could win this war against ukraine. he said, you know, you have to look at it. he said, no, the russian, when was a possibility because you know, the army was grinding down and using an approach that could see making more possible territorial gains. however, he says also that he will look for his country to continue supporting ukraine. whether that is through finances or military weapons. in fact, there is a suggestion that the u. k. could send tanks to poland and poland then could pass on its current soviet era tanks to ukraine in a bid to assist the country. and what's clear though, is that it is getting more and more difficult for the west to see what the possible outcomes of this were, are in ukraine. whether that is the you being unable to push ahead with some of the sanctions. it would ideally like 2 or whether it comes with what the reality is

with happening on the ground. if that's for a russian win or to stand with ukraine. i thought he shot dimansky. charlotte, thank you for those details. oh, me. well, rushes to fans, ministry has declared readiness to introduce a humanitarian ceasefire around the as of style factory and mario paul, that after that, in a putin's command to cancel the storming of the fortified side, ukraine's troops inside the factory have been told to raise white flags if they wish to surrender a corresponded mark gas, do you have reports from the outskirts of the embattled industrial zone? well, on top of a high rise building right on the edge of the has of steel, industrial conflict, please love residential neighborhood that was held by ukrainian nationalists. they've been for have beaten back and retreated that hold just one,

building everything beyond it. but i will deal with this big ole visits. i was here and still very much as it with the view here. everything is controlled by ukrainian nationalists. russian forces now ring the entirety of the as of steel industrial side, the orders that they have now at the stand in positions be ready. but vladimir putin has ordered the russian defense minister to council to cancel a plan raid of the as of steel. so it offensive on the as of fuel industrial complex because of the potential body count. you must be mind that this is a been combat perhaps the only thing was when combat to ease nuclear war. every single apartment, every single home,

every single entrance meiza of ground is fought over and blood is spilled full. therefore, the russian president wants to save as many lives as possible because you have to understand what the soldiers fighting here. they're all someone's father, someone's brother, someone's son. they have children who they want to return to. they want to support and who will miss them for their lives if they full in this battle. especially considering the sorry state that the ukrainian nationalists inside the eyes of steel complex are re, to 1000 of them remain as well as hundreds of foreign fighters must read together with their own morale, their low and food. hon. hold on, i munition many one to surrender many one away out. they understand that for them. this is the end, the russian side in say still,

i mean want to surrender will be treated with dignity. they, you can hear a sniper far and away from feeling industrial complex. so it's, it's probably best to head out on. yes. for public military forces have been pulling out from marielle po to attend that permanent basis as of the residential parts of the city. we're fully clear unsecured. oh, so do, have bein thieving, warm welcomes from local residents. for the former, with each city of mario pol remains beset by a humanitarian crisis. has many local black necessities that just fuel food and water. with

essential aid is being handed out on a broad scale in mario paul to help local residents overcome the humanitarian crisis in the city. now as well, central bank has that a chinese you on currency to its reserve holdings for the 1st time while cutting its share of us dollars. the deputy governor of the bank of israel say the move marks a shift in investment guidelines, as well as also the canadian and australian dollars to its reserve fund. is it 60 diversify? it stakes. the banks holdings of euro's have been decreased from 30 to 20 percent, while the u. s. dollar will now account for 61 percent down from $66.00 more the international monetary fund phase, the dollars share of total global currency reserves this fall into its lowest point in 2 decades. we can discuss these developments with dan cash relievers director general of foreign trade and international relations at the manufacturers

association of israel. thank you very much for joining us on the program. it's good to see you. now, it is surprising that it is, well, is one of washington's the key allies who and now decided to cut it, share of us dollars. i mean, we are actually, i mean, the bank of israel responsible 1st of all to do is really probably could be a really government by actually trying to, i would say do the best you can reserve the reserve today $206000000000.00 and, and the role of the bank, you try to maximize the revenue value if you want on those reserve, and we always see that the coverage effects ration there are a lot of problems with the stability visual currency. so obviously the dollar which used to be the major currency, you know, we do now it's been reduced and we, i think other currency very few 5 where actually the policy of the bank is to maximize its profit. so in view of ration in various country of the view of

israel's foreign trade competition, i mean, all those factors are affecting the policy of the central bank to actually the how to where and, and in which county to keep it reserved. so i don't see as being any political just show you political change. it is purely economic. i mean it's purely a matter of how to, to make it. or we do more beneficial for the bank of even and for israeli economy. and what do you expect to see any international repercussions after the decision by the bank? no, i don't see any, any of the gotcha. i mean they shouldn't get to the countries there. if you look at other central bank and see the diversity of their investment in reserve, some of them are even more diversified that israel bridges we still need, for instance, of a swiss franc. and a lot of our we do,

and we know maybe we should though it's all a metal for analyzing and projecting what, what, who dos come and see do? what is the inflation? what is the interest rate? what is the return? so it's a purely economic decision, and each central bank is actually managing it to reserve, according to its own policy. and he does respect. and what we are, we see is a change of, or slight change of policy in the managing of are we done by our national bank one of the possible causes of such a major changes in the bank of israel's reserves holdings? well, there is no secret that we are in the major a crisis, boots on the military for security fraud economics. i mean the sanction that they're being introduced. i mean what the, using the, the dollar as a, as a weapon in the war. i mean, all those things are changing the, the nature of,

of which guarantee is more important than, i mean, it's been now for years that people are talking about did the reservation of, of the day to national trade. i eat to try and maybe diminish the board of the dollar in the national trade. so israel as being part of the global market, being part of the vision, trading with all the world as to adopt to each reserve to each profile for in trade and to the trends around the world. so there is no question that the dollar and be using a ground ne p. and now what to do is really enter bank has done used to reflect the fact that the dollar has been using grown around the world. and it's now reflecting in the reserve portfolio of the, of the national bank of money. thanks for talking to us today. we really appreciate your time and your insight on don and cash leave as a director general of foreign trade and international relations that the

manufacturers association of israel. thank you. thank you very much and thank you for joining us. haven't naughty international will, but be back at the top of the hours. we continue to question the oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere which direction what is true? what is great.
