helping as well as assisting in the search for missing relatives. the city of mario fall, as you can see, is so almost completely devastated. and the people who used to live in those buildings on are forced to live in the basements or may shift bomb shelters. we are trying well on a daily basis to deliver humanitarian aid like food to water medicine, hygienic items. it's happening every single day. oh god, yeah, i do. okay with also and people are coming up to me. and so they're asking to send her. there's no network here, the like medication. so they're asking me to send

a video messages to their loved ones in russia, in the ukraine. org and other places around the world. this woman that i'm about to speak with. she wants to record message for says firm, new i was from my mom has been in portland for 2 years. we lately she's been crying a lot because libel, who were coming there and showing our homes, were not reporting on the victims. we might let them so he but didn't know anything . yes ma'am. sell my house and cried because she thought that neither me nor my kids were alive, but she is calmer now. she knows we're not dead because i hello kids. i wanted to tell you that we're all alive and her staying in our flat, even though it was bright. we are now back from my mary. you pull back here in my hotel room in jeanette's and as always, i received her many video messages from the residence there who want to let their loved ones all over the world. they want to let them know that they're ok, coach of alfred junior, a mon causative has used that i bought the new school. would you believe she would

be able to wash mammal with them one of the while ago when you tell no palmers georgiana, but as soon as the beside lamar video? absolutely. yes, alex, such as english in an old sibling, the liquid or prospered leading them on center. when you are it was weaker unit on that. a minor there will be sleeping better to night, knowing that their moms are healthy. they're safe and sound roman called for a party. the ness people republic, ah, the russian defense ministry is claiming the u. s. is preparing, quote, provocations to accused moscow of using weapons of mass destruction in ukraine. and the reason supposedly to persuade states who didn't follow washington's lead on sanctions to join the economic fight against russia. eustace harman, this is katrina sanders calling the possible scenario for the development of the situation is to exert pressure on countries loyal and friendly to the russian federation, including india and china, sharing with coercion to impose sanctions against our country. also muffling

nationals, thomas moscow claims the u. s. code conduct the so name, provocations of chemical and biological facilities in har cove and key, if it adds they supply to ukraine of antidote. to toxic substances box. that theory, the russian defense ministry also say 2 days ago, a container of glass vials filled with chemicals was dropped from a drone on the position of russian troops. was geo politics unless colonel ro, hey, dare believes india is not a country that can be easily at manipulated. india cannot be slid anymore. we had a company with the largest global market keeping the chinese outside the largest emerging market. and do you think the, the, the americans, or the germans or the french, or the russians, or the australians or the museum and on a japanese, or anybody can put up a shot. and guess what to do? and to say that something will happen and they will abuse actions of

a chemical attack and india will big of you, i don't think so. you know, we are so naive in terms of a national interest that we for most b to be getting bite up propaganda, things can be stage. things can become broader and venue. leave one side of the story out of the question that you are enforcing a propaganda for the world to believe. if you go to the media vote across it is a stack up often nearly it people said media. what says the 21st and in that 2010 percent of media like the media in india and other countries which don't have a site to favor. but the only broadcast what the see coming out. so it is really easy to create a situation. it is very easy to sense, in fact, the situation and make it look like that i should going well, western countries aren't just providing high grade military equipment on weapons to ukraine. some of also by key claim rush is guilty of genocide. dictator

declares war commit genocide, half a world away. i'm afraid when you look at what's happening in boucher the, the revelations that we're seeing from what preaching has done in, in ukraine which it doesn't look far short of genocide to me. we don't know or is it possible to have negotiations was such a kind of ah, no conchee or it was such a kind of terrorist who would like to just kill own people to make henderson against of ukrainians. a lot of these legal qualifications, crimes against humanity and genocide at the end of the day would be for a court of law to determine. but no, we have not documented patterns that could amount to genocide all the while more weapons or a heading to ukraine. u. s. president joe biden, amongst them thursday, a further $800000000.00 in military aid and putting the sums together for the arts

. howitzers armored vehicles to tow them will be bought hundreds of thousands of runs of ammunition as well. and at more than a 120 phoenix goes tactical drones, which were recently developed by view as her while britain will center for the 100000000 pounds of military support. including more a star st. anti aircraft missiles, which is a, at british short range or defense system. the american civil rights attorney, robert patio, the leaves the west as using allegations of war crimes and genocide, to justify increased weapon shipments to ukraine. we've seen presidents zalinski are wanting a full court press, were western aid. i'm this when we started seeing these pushes for quote unquote, war crimes and crimes against humanity. just today, frozen body of mounts another $800000000.00 or $800000000.00 military directly to the ukraine. germany is backing this up and sitting more on missiles and bombs and tanks to the craniums are also seeing big $29.00 fighters being shipped there. so

the more but zalinski gets on western television and claims that they are under the threat of war crimes in the russian government. the more money being pushed down thing. we're near 3 or 3 trillion dollars from united states directly to those zalinski this point in time. just a military aid that another thing, $1500000.00 g, mandatory name. so the end of the day, the same government to both president trump in person abiding, called when the will corrupt governments in the world is getting massive amounts, billions of dollars, aid from from the west. and this is why they keep pushing the story about war council, very little evidence to back it up. well, actually related to this story, german liter, olaf schultz is facing increasing pressure over berlin's refusal to send heavy weapons to ukraine. the chancellor argues that confrontation with russian must be prevented while citing the risks of world war 3. we must do everything possible to avoid a direct military confrontation between nato in a highly armed superpower like russia, a nuclear power. i am doing everything i can to prevent an escalation that leads to

a 3rd world war. there should be no nuclear war. we should point out as well that nato member states aren't all reading from the same page when it comes to the response to the ukraine conflict. some states are refusing to follow the official line of the lines and as our teeth maria phenomena reports are instead choosing to prioritize their own citizens, 1st, united and determined. this is how joe biden describes nater in its readiness to confront threshold. our unity at home, our unity with our allies and partners in our unity with u. k. people are sending unmistakable message to prove that he will never succeed in dominating and occupying all of ukraine. he will not that will not happen with sweden and finland intending to join the alliance. ne, to might seem to be getting as monolithic and strong as ever and ready for war, which the u. s. that alliance is actively pushing for, according to fellow ne,

to member turkey. but following the nato foreign ministers meeting, we got the impression that there are those within the nato member states that want the war to continue and let russia get weaker. they don't care much about the situation in ukraine, and shortly after germany announced it will no longer send arms to ukraine either. while hungry is in no hurry to take sides. and as calling for peace talks, we still believe in the diplomatic solution. that is why we cherish and really respect the efforts of the president of turkey and the foreign minister of turkey to facilitate peace talks into convince the parties to come to an agreement. because the sooner we come to a negotiated agreement, the sooner this war will end and the less people will die. this is the most important issue for us. poland is down scaling its relations with hungary of budapest stance on ukraine with war. so also criticizing french president micron for his attempts to mediate peace. mister president, micron,

how many times have you negotiated with putin? what have you achieved? have you stopped any of the actions that have taken place all this at a time when europe is divided over how to approach and embargo on russian energy supplies have proposed e u deal to sanction russian oil and gas is up in the air over disagreements among the unions members can't give a date. as far as i know, there is no proposal on the table, but there are options on how best to do this. there is no unanimity on any of these proposals. meanwhile, baris johnson, whose country is in the middle of its deepest energy crisis in years, a saying there is a realistic possibility that russia can win the war, even though his german counterpart has recently said that kremlin must be defeated . however, a london has gone even further threatening in nuclear strike against russia without the approval of nato allies. if weapons of mass destruction are used, the u. k. reserves the right to strike back independently without consulting other

nato countries. it's clear that h, nato country, has its own interests and is not ready to neglect them for the sake of their lions . the idea of unity that joe biden is so into seems somewhat exaggerated. the question now is, well, new members, how bring native together or cause even more discord them on the block. and moreover, nato's intention of enlargement is only stirring the ports. so say's political commentator john brakeman, who believes pro american politicians in finland and sweden primarily are pushing their countries directly into the arms of the alliance. the pressure we didn't need to have within the you at least to apply a sanctions to her. she's very, very strong and very difficult to resist it. so and luxury optimistic and i'm afraid that when you come to finland and sweden, the pressure inside these guarantees to join aid to his race tongue. most of the

highly doubtful american. and there's very little natasha can do about it. i think what will happen in the long run is that the sanction we'd back tray on people of the union, but i don't think they will. they were and they, she paused at the heavy weapons, we'd be either captured on these toys. they the russian army, but i don't think they're going to prevent nato from sending a heavy weapons. no, another pillar of transatlantic unit. see, the european union could be feeling the heat this sunday when the 2nd on the size of round of the french presidential election is hell. the result could be on thinkable for bustles as challenger marine le pen as promising a complete overhaul of french foreign policy under radical shake up of the her opponent, incumbent president and money on the chrome still as a firm lead. according to the latest polls, his team have also been promoting these campaign posters, which suggest france will have an alliance with russia. if the pen wins are

t. charlotte cubans cakes? the words whether the tactic will succeed in putting millions off from voting for the right swing counter that to 2022 presidential election isn't just about the 2 features that france faces. the choice of them to me here on sunday will have for wider reaching implications. for the feature of the you project to mac, korn is a keen europe file, openly present, says image of an ever closer union, much a quote on your, i believe in europe. and i believe in the franco german relationship le pen has softened her anti you stance. but it's still adamant that she believes in putting france 1st, just with her stay. i want to stay in the european union. what i want deeply to have it modify to actually bring about a european alliance of nations. the changes she wants to make include transformation of the european commission, giving french citizens priority for certain jobs and access to public goods and

services. and she wants to include the change in treaty which allows the free movement of people and goods. so the idea that she could win is making many across the block shake in their boots in a been to persuade undecided voters that they feature is in trouble. you leaders are infinitely calling for the french to turn out from mack on. the 2nd round of the french presidential election is not for us an election like the others. it is a choice between a democratic candidate who believes that france is stronger and powerful and autonomous european union, and the far right candidate, who openly sites with those who attack our freedom and our democracy. however, while some new leaders have voiced concerns, there are other european heads of state who would probably welcome a le pen presidency or bond would probably welcome her from hungary other more

conservative leaders. i think you would, you might see or embrace her as well. the, perhaps even poland, they're speaking more for the values of their country rather than following blindly on what other brussels puts out. so you'll see countries coming together and not perhaps not on all issues, but on some issues, to provide a more stronger, a stronger voice. to counter brussels policies that are may, that may not be in the interest of the european citizens. countries like italy, hungary, poland, have all previous to be elected. you're skeptic governments. but the idea that france, one of the original block members would shift in such a direction is the brussels. the thinkable definitely would come to a challenge for the euro. the european concept,

the euro project here. but also on the data side, it could become a threat to the nato structure as well. so it could actually cause some fractures within the nail nato will. i meant to also you could see turnover across multiple countries. you may see changes occurring and as a result a weakening of their, of their union of the, of the whole concept. and there is another concern to le pen has said that she would look to block sanctions when it comes to russian energy, saying that it is the french who will end up paying the price of this. the e u is already in a difficult sage when it comes to getting new and more restrictive sanctions put in place against moscow approved. and these are agreements that have to be unanimous across the u. l. a pen presidency would bolster support for leaders like hungary

and victor albany, who has called this a red line. so how likely is this to happen? well, the polls have seen mac won't pulling ahead. this rare intervention by the leaders of germany, spain and portugal shows that they are worried that she still has a short of winning france and therefore the european union is at a crossroads. the choice of which turning to take is simply too close for some for complaint charlotte, even sky r t. paris 23 years ago today, nato forces bomb the headquarters of serbia's main broadcaster r t. s. 16 civilians were killed and another 16 were injured. canadian, serbian film director of barra, smaller gorski, has been looking back the tragic anniversary. on this day, in 1999 nato bombed serbia's public broadcaster radio television,

serbia nieto justified the attack by saying r t, as was a part of slow. but i'm hello so much is war propaganda, which is why they killed 16 workers, makeup artist, technicians, artists, and security staff. was this a legitimate military target or a war crime? think why was serbia bombed in the 1st place? the u. s. wanted serbia to give up its southern province of kosovo, where guerrilla groups were waging a war of secession. u. s. envoy to yugoslavia. richard holbrooke made it clear to yugoslav, president slow, but i'm low so much. what would happen if milosevic fail to accept the american's offer a sat in that big room in the palace. and i said to him,

you understand. but if our delegation leaves here today, and you haven't changed your position, that the consequence will be the beginning within a few hours of very swift, severe and sustained aerial attack by nato forces american diplomacy. and while much of the west was convinced by their propaganda machine, that bombing serbia was the only way to stop the serbian counterinsurgency in kosovo. the bombing of the national tv station polarized public opinion a report by amnesty international that nato had violated international law by targeting areas where civilians were certain to be killed and added that the bombing of the art highest building quote was a deliberate attack on a civilian object and as such, constitutes a war crime and quote noam chomsky called the bombing of art. yes, an act of terrorism made a commander wesley clark tried to downplay what they had done. there were actually

6 people who were killed as i recall. i recall certain i retired, feminine know the families. i mean think about it. this wasn't an attack on some tv tower in the middle of nowhere with nobody working there. this was the bombing of the state television headquarters in a heavily populated urban area in serbia's capital belgrade, the killing of innocent people who are working the night shift. if that's not a war crime, what is clearly the goal was to instigate terror because artist resumed this programming less than 24 hours later from a secret location. can you imagine what it was like for the people working there, knowing what had happened for their colleagues knowing they? i'd be next, isn't that the goal of terrorism? this wasn't a one off thing. any people don't know that the state television building in the major, serbian city of novi sad was also hit by nato on may. 3rd, 1999 with

the bombing happened on world press freedom day and that tv building was bombed a whopping 5 times. nobody was held accountable for the attack, but it reminds us of the alternative to press freedom in the modern world, threat of every one to hear a different opinion before it was bombed. r t s allowed foreign journalists to report from r t. s, a studios, some of those foreign journalists supported the bombing nato didn't give r t s the right to disagree with the bombing of their own country. i say we hear every one and decide for yourself. nato should directly attack russian cities. that is what a former swedish diplomat has said, who's also worked for the atlantic council. think like an organization with close ties to the military alliance. my humble advice to nato would be, give all the arms you can to ukraine. opened the black sea ports of ukraine for

normal shipping bomb relevant russian cities, preventively to make sure that putin does not use chemical arms or nukes wake up. we are at this stage now, tweets has since been deleted and just to point i, it's unders, oslander call to bomb a. russia appears to be at odds with his own diplomatic record. in the 19 ninety's, he worked as a senior advisor to the russian government under then president boris yeltsin on the suite also has experience in ukraine. he was appointed to the supervisory board of one of kias major banks in 2016. while europe historian stefan got judge, believes the tweet reveals a lot about the views of political elites in the west. are these calls are above everything dangerous. they are irresponsible and the they are a thing a lot about the state of spirits in the, among the political ah wessa, especially about the what we are speaking about the elite. ah,

because at what i see here is this duration. i don't expect people to think his whole series the at this stage, but it certainly sounds volumes about the way that people that some people in nato are thinking this faith. and the whole course reminds me when everybody, i'm say not only in serbia, but in the countries are former yugoslavia over a brutally colonial approach towards us. what the law is calling for is actually war crimes against civilians. ah, social media on big tech is in desperate need of more regulatory oversight, se that is the view of former u. s. president brock obama in a speech at stanford university, he warned misinformation is threatening democracy around the world. more and more of us search and social media platforms aren't just our window into the internet.

they serve as our primary source of news and information. no one tells us that the window is blurred, subject to unseen distortions and subtle manipulations bond barack obama. his speech was criticized after he was introduced by a former us diplomats, michael mcfall, who himself has been accused of misinformation on multiple occasions. welcome everyone to the keynote address for a conference today called challenges to democracy in the digital information realm . yes, i am michael mcfall. the disinformation expert chosen by the stanford spooks and to to asterisk, introduce obama. the historical record is clear, hitler killed millions of germans. we tweet it out, parts of an inaccurate statement made last night by former ambassador michael mc full without attribution. and we regret doing so we've since removed the tweet. meanwhile, the latest gallop poll untrusted the media sit,

sat an all time low with just 14 percent of americans. believing what news reporters have to say. conservative commentator nicholas j fuentes believes, trust that has been eroded in the media due to increasing censorship bartlett's. i think it's very indicative of how the political culture in the united states is changing. what you're saying is that the american regime is completely clamping down on any kind of political descent in the country. i think there's a big division in the united states and in europe. i think that americans and europeans are waking up to the fact that war with russia is not in our interest. conflict with russia in ukraine or elsewhere is not in the interest of the united states, germany, france, the united kingdom. and i think that the westerners are tired of paying for this conflict or tired of paying for these wars. there is virtually no representation of the russian position in american media. and that is not by chance. that's not a coincidence. when you look at american legacy media and american social media,

they have made a concerted effort to block out any alternative narrative to that which is being pushed by the state department. the d o d, the white house made. and basically they've created a media ecosystem where it's impossible to challenge the claims of the government. and it's pretty ironic. you know, they say that russia is this police state of russia. are the propagandists. but it's america, it's completely clamped down on anything that isn't american propaganda online or on television, radio or branch, the american until agencies in the american state department, they are, i think you could say the biggest purveyors of misinformation or disinformation in the entire world. and of course, latimer said, i think earlier in the, by an administration that it is in the united states that it uses other countries of that which in itself is guilty. and i think misinformation is one of those classic things still well. a deeper dive into our stories. this our as always can be found in our.
