a with police 5 civilians, the dead and 23 in judge to children. among them off the ukrainian cloth is shell, the city of dawn. yes, with fixed rockets, that's according to local helpful priorities. you say that 4 people died in an initial with washington's blessing. poland is plotting to take over the western ukraine under the pretext of protecting it from russia. that's according to russian current intelligence with plus, i made calls from the u. k for nato, to expand into the inner pacific. washington threatens action against china moves in the region. ah, i will welcome this is dorothy international with the world news update is good to

have you with us. and the city of don, yes, has been shelled by ukrainian forces, according to local authorities with at least 5 people reported dead warning. you may find the following images disturbing. the don. yes. health ministry say 23 civilians were injured with 2 children suffering moderate wounds. authority say 4 people were killed on the spot and one person died on the way to hospital. at least 6 rockets reported to have landed on the city. me while the car say it's continues to spill over the border into russia, where defense systems have reportedly intercepted, ukrainian ballistic missiles, fired into the bell. the road region. this unverified amateur footage appears to show the projectiles being shot down. if not the 1st time the cranial targets have been destroyed by rushing at defense systems, people on the ground in the belgrade region reported at least 3 loud blas earlier on. thursday. explosions have been also reported by local authorities in the

ukrainian capital. hey, you can see on verified tit footage from key showing to building a place. frame was quick to blame russia for the incident clinic. it was caused by 2 as strikes. no injuries have been reported. so far, most goes yet to comment on the incident. poland on the us, the most vocal opponents of russia's offensive in ukraine have been discussing the polish allocation of what was so claims to be its historical possession territories . it used to occupy him with ukraine without, from washing foreign intelligence. g, according to information received by russia's foreign intelligence service, washington and warsaw are working on plans to establish tight polish, military, and political control over so called historical positions in ukraine. the, according to this report from russian intelligence, the stage, one of this plan would involve deploying polish peacekeepers to western ukraine

under the pretext of defending the country from russian aggression. that's despite the fact that this area would be the least likely to see any sort of confrontations with russian forces. warsaw is an actual objective, would apparently be to capture strategic facilities from ukraine's national guard and then to create a pro, poland counterbalanced to the countries nationalist forces with the help of ukrainian elites that are friendly to poland. it's also said that war saw would believe that this would lead to ukraine splitting apart, which would give these polish peacekeepers the opportunity to take advantage of the situation of harley. warsaw is looking to get its hands on these territorial claims in ukraine that it made all the way back in world war one. the question here then is why in the world would poland, all of the sudden decide to rehash these territorial claims that were made around a century ago? well, russia says that it's because polish colonial app aspirations have resurfaced in

the country and we have what we've also heard that washington is actually working with poland to rally western countries that are in favor of this idea. but so far, there haven't been any takers that it may appear to inspect of how russia would respond to any foreign interference in the conflict to these new revelations point to a 3rd, the escalation d, thank putin made actually a lot of very important points with regard to the conflict and ukraine, and one of the most significant ones was no doubt his promise to the west. that if western countries interfere in russia's affairs, there will be a lightening response to that is look, it was maybe that if someone from outside decides to interfere in the ongoing operation and will post strategic threats on accept to russia. they should know that our response will follow at a lightening speed. we have all the tools which no one else can now boast of. i'd like to stress that all the toss of our military operation in don't bass and ukraine will be successfully tackled for sure. our soldiers have managed to avert a real danger looming over russia. now with that statement in mind,

poland is also planning military exercises to take place at the beginning of may. at the same time, warsaw is telling at citizens not to take pictures or videos of any troop movements . so it is definitely quite a coincidence that these military exercises are going to be taking place shortly after we got this information from russian intelligence and potent statements about basically staying out of rushes affairs, political science and history. like to write john laughlin, st. poland possible involvement in ukraine could lead to a breakup of the embattled country. these territories particularly evolving rovner random violin were taken from poland off to the 2nd world war. so it's not a secret for anyone that poland would in an ideal world like to have them back. poland is not the only country that last territory to ukraine after the 2nd world war, hungary also lost territory around the town of who's got old and a and frankly so did romania. so this move, if it happened,

would quite possibly trig hoffer. a chain reaction with various countries claiming pulse of ukraine. and if that happened, yes, the country would then stay facto cease to exist. but as i say, it would cut a lot of the legitimacy, the term, poland, and the other nato states claim for themselves if they were to move in in this way . the russian pilots jailed in the us on drug smuggling charges has returned to moscow in a prison exchange deal. konstantin, russia and co was swaps before me. us marine trevor read. he was jailed in russia. if a striking, a police officer or shank was imprisoned for 20 years in 2011 after being convicted of involvement in the library and drug smuggling operation. however, moscow stacy was abducted and that his arrest violated the vienna convention on diplomatic relations during the investigation. the u. s. government provided evidence of that claim to prove that the russian pilot was involved in smuggling operations. i spoke to him earlier and he says he was tortured and custody is

mentioned several times that you were taught yet. i in prison. can you elaborate on that? can you tell is exactly what happened. mm hm. i will bore sip of those of i can tell you in detail what happened. i was abducted by the u. s. and my burial security services in may 2010. i was taken to the national security agency headquarters in liberia, where they tortured me for 2 and a half days. it was unbearable physical and fight psychological torture. i didn't even want to live. there were professionally trained, they knew where to hit and how to hit to avoid killing me. they had my feet broke, my teeth injured, my internal organs broke my legs. it was really brutal. i mccallski through the american prisons are not criticized on the living conditions or how the prisoners are treated there. the criticism is all gagged. the u. s. government accuses russia and other countries of breaking human rights and presence. but in fact, we see double standards there. they claim they protect prisoner's rights,

but what happens in american federal prisons is just awful. i'm not even talking about guantanamo bay, or places like that. people are abducted, tortured and unjustly detained. like i was, for example, another russian sentence than america victor bout. i'm really glad that i managed to get out and come back to russia. now i can tell the whole truth about what the american government is doing, russian under the foreign citizens whom i met there, and us prisons and say, without my mission, you've been away for from your home for a very long time. you've only been back in russia a few hours. how do you plan to spend the next few days and weeks? they're behind the bo whisper. i want to finally get them of sleep. the, the way americans transported me to russia was literally crossing all the lines. as you can still, i still have marks on my hands from the handcuffs. it was usually stressful for me . it was physical torture. i was kept in handcuffs for more than a day. i need some time to recover after all the suffering and damage i went through because of the american government. much of the 3 year old photos of

children sheltering from rocket fire and on yes, for the latest fakes to be utilized by ukraine media. and the country's ongoing war with russia, the images are paid in a major media telegram news channel this week. the images were initially taken by a ukranian war correspondent in don. yes, back in 2018. the incident is one of many which ukraine news channels have used the old images to highlight what they came most atrocities carried out by russia and the war. the tunnel claim that the terrified children were photographed hiding in a basement from rush and shelling in the country. second largest city of holocaust . the post school type of 46000 views. looking out close to thomas, you are an independent journalist and author. now thank you very much for joining us on the program. it's good to see you. what do you make of this? we understand it's not the 1st time something like this has happened. this is a kind of routine and we have so many examples where the ukrainians take pictures

from, from wherever toward to tell the people the world that this is now happening in ukraine. we have old pictures from other countries. be of all pictures. are they taking pictures from people who are victims of bombing don bus to show that this is not happening here? we have so many examples of that. that's nothing you. that's if you're looking for them. i understand that some of your materials were once used by ukrainian media and could you tell us more about us? or we have seen several examples or where they showed like, like videos from cameras of bombing a city with rockets and then it, it seemed that this, i'm not the actual video from, from here. but for example, all be is from the next i'm we have lisa in march, we had the explosion of touch. got we rock it right into next center was killing more than 20 people. and the pictures were then, for example, in italian newspapers used as sir,

a proof of formal russia bombing key if this is a pity, but it's normal. they are doing this regularly and nearly every day. that's why i have become a beer. but believing any of these ukrainian pictures or videos because there's so many faults and pigs picked videos within that. and yet it's routine for them. so there are, those are gonna look at this and think it's a deliberate propaganda me bed. is it possible that it might have happened by accident and, well, everybody makes mistakes, but if in this expire mistakes happen every day, this can't be an accident. do you think that in this the information war media can use any things to win? or are read lines now frequently being trust? well, i think, i think they're all reg lies cross, because are we see so many really open figs, which are quite easy to prove. and this is what i'm doing. and on my, on my blog and job media every day and, and when, when you get a minute on,

on some kind of fake, maybe they stop talking about this one, but they think about another one. so they never corrected. it would be ok, you know, everybody makes mistakes and they could say, oh sorry, we took the wrong picture and they explain it, but they don't do it. they take the wrong pictures, people prove that they are wrong, and then they just go on as if nothing happened. so it's in the formation of war and i think the red lines all crossed. this is obviously a serious problem to what can governments of both countries do to prevent it's such fakes from spreading? this is quite high because of obviously and then the western and the ukrainian governments not doing anything against this kind of pace. they had to be happening every day, and nobody says a word. and what can russia do about it? but what is, what does media doing in germany, us, or in ukraine? it's done on purpose and when we see that you and the u. s. and now even opening some kind of agency still have to hide rational take us. well,

i think that would have to start with their own media 1st, but it's not. inflammation was. ringback so this is done on purpose, that's the problems come worth. i independent journalist and also thank you for your time. and we appreciated was the background of mario poet. no more life seems to be returning. following weeks of intense fighting, locals have been flocking to the streets and in effort to restock. commerce is the sound of gunfire, and explosion slowly declines with rushes. construction ministry saying it will provide all the necessary health mario poll needs. we spoke to the local man who said the city is starting to revival, that the situation remains soft and peaceful. which is today. of course the fighting is practically over already. we have 2 hospitals working in the city, an intensive care unit, and an emergency unit in school number. 53 is open with more than 700 students. so walk to the biggest problems to die. so there's no mobile connection. without such

connection, you could be looking for a person for 2 to 3 hours, even though they're already on their way on assignment. that is very complicated. oh, oh, how dangerous so safe? is it around here now? sure. i cannot say that it is completely safe, as long as there's more shilling in recent days, there been more attacks on the left side of the river and closer to the city center . the threat is still present and there are still enemy positions inside the as of style factory. la zenia corresponded mine. kathy has been thing the up 10 in fortunes for himself. the city of mary uncle is with her rule malice to see people on the street. 3 homo picked up again. street the crave is in school . that was free freaking food from surrounding areas. obviously there's a lot more that needs to be done to bring the city back to what it was. good. as you can hear, this is the more need for body arm and helmet. no gun fire,

no explosive. the city of mario who is truly regardless of thought and what to do is the situation. the city has already become better, fewer gunshots can be heard, but it is still scary to live on the upper floors because you can hear those gunshots more clearly during the night. in the daytime. it's calm, but i have to tell you, it is incomparable. now to what was happening 10 days ago. no money isn't yellow. so other than houses, residential buildings, they're the main problem at the moment. i'm living in a basement for the 2nd month now. unable to move out. my house was on the seat is outskirts. there are only rooms there now. for 5 hours, we didn't hear a single shot or blast at the heart of the city, the vast as of steel, industrial complex. negotiations are underweighed daily between russian representatives and the remaining ukrainian nationalists besieged and side people

no longer wish to wait. they want to resume their lives now, however, they can. this is valentina. she is $81.00 death and disabled. she has chosen to return to her burned out apartment. there are no doors or windows, just scorched concrete. but these, her home, the home, you know, what can i do? look well if, what can i do? this is not how it should be, mary, you both new authorities have promised that the city will be rebuilt. the power water and gas would soon flow again and look by where you will. a city of half a 1000000 would once again become the gym. viaz off see more, i guess the oddity from barry, you pu britton's foreign secretary, has spoken in favor of nato's global expansion. his trust phase, the u. s. lead block should seek to protect its allies,

including taiwan and the endo pacific region, which has recently spoke security concerns in washington. here as officials have threatened action of china, sets up military base is on the small pacific nation of solomon islands. of course, we have respect for the solomon islands sovereignty, but we also wanted to let them know that if steps were taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power projection capabilities or military installation. then we would have significant concerns. and we would very naturally respond to those concerns. and us warning comes in response to a wreath and security package between paging and solomon islands. that will allow chinese police forces to be stationed in the small pacific nation, beijing se the agreement aimed to promote peace and security with the islands. officials also defending the deal. however, us allies in the region, australia, and new zealand have warned against china's presence that

meanwhile, taiwan seems to be taking it security into its own hands, stating that his going to test his defense readiness in case of an attack from china during paging military drills. next month, since the outbreak of war and ukraine, taiwan has been on alert, a potential chinese offensive and new york state secretary on steep lincoln has emphasized a vital importance for taiwan to possess its own means of defense. the vice chairman, although private think tank in china nelson, long believe the you, i should prioritize reality over its ambitions in the pacific region. the country has its right to express their concerns, but this is a matter of 2 sovereign countries. i think people can always analyze the impact of an incident of a happening according to their own willingness, their own understanding and perception. but by the end of the day, you still have to face. the reality is the reality that would be it's the security

matters of the island country that is under concern of china as a sovereign country at the invitation of the local government to solomon islands. have agreed to sign this agreement to provide assistance in terms of police falls in terms of on to police force. and so that so it's something quite natural and quite normal between 2 countries. actually, also, the chinese government has expressed its concern as well over the south china sea of taiwan straits. whether this is the nato expansion is an element of security or as an element of disruption of security. that's something we're have to observe. notice she has extended when he calls a warm welcome to finland and sweden with both countries. i question to the u. s.

lead below military block. despite the objections from russia, which is warned against an expansion of the western alliance, on its broadest, we are involved with the citizens. reason on the it's their decision. but if they decide to apply for financing, we will be we welcomed, unexpected process to go quickly. what is the uncertainty about fin them and street and start to choose thrown off because this is for the mental about their uncle, every mission in europe to decide its own future. however, some natal members don't quite agree with yen stokes and berg, the presidents of croatia says the alliance is provoking russia by inviting gets european neighbors to join the block. to go a step further and drag finland, which is 50 kilometers from st. petersburg into that, i think is dangerous quackery. however, we cannot say no for us. finland is more important than croatia and the issue of

the croatians in bosnia and herzegovina. as far as i'm concerned, let them join nato. let them stab an angry bear in the eye with a pen. the balkan issue mentioned by probation president concerns that countries long running political disputes with neighboring bosnia and herzegovina corporation . politicians say they should be allowed to take high positions and that both the in government to fight against what they call the discrimination of correlations that croatia is already. and nato member, while bosnia and herzegovina is also reaching for accession to the block, was senior assay, right as there be an american journalist, nobility, se mileage believes croatia as a nato member may use its rights to leverage his position. in bosnia, the issue in bosnia specifically is that the cro ads are not getting represented properly in the central government creation. made a big deal out of joining nato some years back. president, a lot of he's basically try and say, okay, well, you know, because we're a member and we technically have vito rights. we're going to use that to leverage

our political position and get this issue resolved. because we've been trying and the other side in bosnia, the bosnian muslims are basically refusing to negotiate because they feel they have the support of the e. u and the u. s. sweden and finland neutrality, especially finland stafford. a cold war has been a huge asset to both countries, abandoning neutrality after decades of successfully not being involved in, in your european conflicts. and in this trans atlantic. her fluffy is just remarkably stupid as washington faith is running out of fine on the thing to provide care with new weaponry. joe biden has suggested legalizing the confiscation and selling of russian property in the us to benson the money to ukraine. that will enhance our underlying efforts to accommodate the russian oligarchy and make sure we take their take their, their, it'll be gotten gays, we're going to accommodate them. we're going to caesar yachts, luxury homes,

and other it will be got engaged of prudence cryptography. yeah. cryptography club, the guys who are the club, ta chrissy, producer bad guys is now calling on congress to approve $33000000000.00 and funding for ukraine. about 20000000000 of that would go directly as military assistance. and during the speech that he gave, he referred to this as a small price to pay. and he also says that this is the way for the american people to do their part with us involvement and a conflict that they never voted for it to begin with. but at the same time, biden is also calling for russian individuals to do their part apparently has the white house now called on congress to give them new sweeping powers to not only seize assets from russian individuals, but also to ban. so those assets saying that they will give the proceeds to ukraine

as a new form of assistance. now, when it comes to the terms of exactly what they're asking for, everything right now is incredibly broad. they use terms like money laundering and corrupt dealings to say what new assets they would seize, but at the same time, they leave a lot of room for decisions on their end as to how they would move forward. now we don't know exactly how congress will approach this, but at the same time, this does come as there are a number of countries. it in the past have been very reliant on heavy, heavy aid from the united states, such as a country like afghanistan. they received billions of dollars in u. s. aid for years only to be cut off last year after their us supported government fall apart and the man came sweeping back to power. and the u. s. came in and froze $7000000000.00 worth of athletes creating a huge humanitarian crisis in their country. so there is a lot at stake here, as the u. s. shows that they are more than willing to move forward with tens of

billions of dollars in aid, as long as they agree with the government that's empower. and as biden refers to that, a small price to pay here. well, it's really a condemns russia over it's operation in ukraine. it's government has failed to meet the compensation deadline for that war. crimes by defense for personnel in afghanistan potentially leaving the thorny issue to be sold out after the election . ortiz kellum open investigates the deadline for australia to announce compensation for the victims of its war crimes. in afghanistan has passed, the report that called for compensation for the victims took 4 years to compile, where there is credible information that an identified or identifiable afghan national has been unlawfully killed. the inquiry has recommended that australia should now compensate the family of that person without a waiting for establishment of criminal liability. this will be an important step

in rehabilitation of trellis international reputation, and it's simply the right thing to do. the war crimes are very real. 39 afghans had their lives cut short in violation of international law. 25 australians were implicated in the atrocities. and when you look closer, the details get pretty ugly and heart wrenching and incident where members from the special ed services region and were driving along the road. and so to 14 year old boys whom they decided might be tellerman sympathizers, they stopped searched the boys and slid their throes. the rest of the troops to them had to clean up the mess, which involved bagging the bodies and throwing them into a nearby river complicity. went up the chain of command. there wasn't just a few bad apples. events were covered up after they took place for what possible reason could compensation for the victims be put off. the issue of compensation is complex and comes with a number of legal, practical, and logistical issues. too much red tape let us sorted out, give us time. well,

the report was compiled over the course of 4 years of investigation, and now the victims deemed to be worthy of compensation are being told to just sit back and wait. but it's a very different picture from the australian government when it comes to russia's unproven war crimes. there is no doubt in my view that what crimes and atrocities abilene committed in you cried out by, by, by russia vladimir putin. them must be healed to account for those walk and atrocities. yet another moment when those who look more deeply will notice western hypocrisy on all things related to russia. strain government has gone further to investigate the systematic orfine's, fam, united states, the united kingdom. it's a really important step that reports in public records to not now b. ready disappears,

but they seem to be doing is just trying to slow walk this thing knowing that, you know, that will be an election very soon. and essentially, we're shipping responsibility on to the next many thanks for keeping us company here in our tea international as always, plenty more stories to be found on our website r t dot com with doubles are going to be talking with the bus a
