republic. civilian life has been gradually returning to the city of marble and falling weeks of intense battle gives president zalinski has told us that ukraine would be ready for immediate negotiations to evacuate forces from the hours of saul steel factory, the last pocket of resistance in variable the cremeans spokesman dmitri prescott has said that ukrainian troops can leave the facility only if they surrender. we heard from marbles, mayor, who explained that while the city is recovering, it is still not completely safe from another potential attack from ukrainian side, which is to be of course, the fighting is practically over already and we have 2 hospitals working in the city and intensive care unit and an emergency unit, new school number, 53 is open with more than 700 students. and so one of the biggest problems today there is no mobile connection. without such connection, you could be looking for
9:03 pm
a person for 2 to 3 hours, even though they're already on their way on assignment. that is very complicated. and how dangerous so safe is it around here now. so i cannot say that it is completely safe as long as there's more showing 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. poland, and the u. s. 2 of the most vocal opponents of russia's offensive in ukraine have been discussing a polish annexation of what warsaw claims to be. its historical possession, reportedly, territories used to control and what's now western ukraine, that's according to information obtained by russia's foreign intelligence service. earlier. my colleagues don mcwhorter and nicky, aaron discuss the issue according to information received by russia's foreign intelligence service. washington and warsaw are working on plans to establish tight
9:04 pm
polish, military and political control over so called historical positions in ukraine. 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 its actual objective, would apparently be to capture strategic facilities from ukraine's national guard and then to create a pro poland counterbalance 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. well, apparently 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
9:05 pm
why in the world would poland, all of the sudden decide to rehash these territorial claims that were made around a century ago, while 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 have been paid to inspect of how russia would respond to any foreign interference in the conflict to these new revelations point to a further 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. it looked like it was named it if someone from outside decides to interfere in the ongoing operation and will post strategic threats unacceptable. russia, they should know that our response, they'll follow at a lightening speed. we have all the tools which no one else can now boast off. i'd
9:06 pm
like to stress that all the toss of our military operation in don't bus 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 its 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 putin. statements about basically staying out of rushes affairs, political science, and history. lecturer john laughlin says a potential polish incursion into western ukraine could lead to a breakup of the embattled country. these territories particularly revolving rovner adam evelyn were taken from poland off to the 2nd world war 2. 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
9:07 pm
war. hungary also lost territory around the town of who's got old and, and frankly, so did romania. so this move, if it happened, would quite possibly trigger a chain reaction with various countries claiming pulse of ukraine. but 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 poland, and the other nato states claim for themselves if they were to move in, in this way. britain's top diplomat list trust has suggested global expansion of nato, saying the western military block should seek a partnership with taiwan in the face of rising tensions with china. meanwhile, top nato power, the u. s. has been expressing security concerns about the indo pacific region with washington recently threatening action against china if beijing sets up a military base in the solomon islands. of course,
9:08 pm
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 a military installation, then we would have significant concerns. and we would very naturally respond to those concerns. the u. s. warning comes in response to a recent security pack between beijing and the solomon islands to allow chinese police forces to be stationed in the pacific nation. asian says the deal aims to promote peace and security. and solomon officials have adamantly defended the deal . but the u. s. ready close allies in the region, australia and new zealand have issued raised alarms against an expanded chinese presence. meanwhile, taiwan seems to be taking its security into its own hands, saying it is going to test its readiness to defend against a hypothetical attack from china, as beijing is said to conduct military drills next month. since the outbreak of the war in ukraine, taiwan has been on alert over
9:09 pm
a potential chinese offensive us top diplomat. anthony, blinking has emphasized a vital importance for taiwan to possess its own means of defense. but the vice chairman of a private thing tank in china nelson wong. so the u. s. should take a closer look at the possible negative effects of its ambitions in the pacific region. every country has its right to express their concern. this is the metro to sovereign countries. i think people can always analyze the impact of an incident of 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. it's the reality when it's the security matters of the island country that is under concern. john, as a sovereign country at the invitation of the local government in solomon islands,
9:10 pm
have agreed to sign this agreement to provide assistance in terms of police force in terms of police force. and so that's 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, taiwan straits. whether this is the nato expansion is an element of security or as, and that amount of disruption of security. that's something we're have to observe. ah, while washington says it's running out of funds to supply new weaponry to give joe biden has suggested that legalizing the confiscation and sale of russian property in the us to finance the war effort in ukraine that will enhance our underlying efforts to accommodate the russian oligarchy. and make sure we take their take
9:11 pm
their, their, it'll be gotten gays, we're going to accommodate them. we're going to caesar yards, luxury homes and other it will be got engaged of prudence cryptography. yeah. cryptography, the 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 $20000000000.00 of that would go directly as military assistance. and during this 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
9:12 pm
seize assets from russian individuals, but also to them. 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 see. 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 that 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 of, and came sweeping back to power. and the u. s. came in and froze $7000000000.00
9:13 pm
worth of assets 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 millions of dollars in aid. as long as they agree with the government that's in power and as biting refers to that, a small price to pay. here. a political party in the netherlands has raised questions about how ukraine's president zalinski acquired his estimated 850000000 dollars. fortune zalinski owns a fortune, various estimates put it at around $850000000.00. he didn't get most of this until after he took office as president. so where does that money come from? and more importantly, where is it going? if you weeks ago, zalinski addressed to the dutch parliament through a video link, calling for the netherlands to stop buying russian fuel and to provide more weapons to ukraine. but the forum for democracy party has said it was on democratic to
9:14 pm
allow a foreign leader to make such demands in the dutch legislature. they have warned against sanctifying zalinski and immediately taking his side in the conflict. he heard from british professor richard werner, who says that if zalinski considers himself a european politician, he should follow european procedures including transparent, financial reporting, president of the country, particularly of you know, fairly sizeable countries, 1000000 population. they need to disclose their interests and it is legitimate. it is perfectly legitimate to ask about the, the finance and the background. also, many people are quite curious. how is it possible for, for some people to the mass oligarch level of wealth, when the financial career doesn't really seem to give many opportunities, this is required nowadays of every ordering person in europe starting,
9:15 pm
you know, companies and business bank accounts. so of course, it's quite natural that also the president of a european country, such as ukraine, should follow the same procedures which are american procedures. house julia has condemned to russia over its operation in ukraine. but at the same time, it's government has failed to meet a compensation deadline for alleged war crimes by its military personnel in afghanistan, potentially leaving the issue to be sorted out after the current federal election. and he's killed, map and comments. 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
9:16 pm
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 then 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
9:17 pm
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 cries, there is no doubt in my view, that war crimes and atrocities i've been committed in ye cry 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. yesterday, government has gone further to investigate the massive war crime by the state. so the united kingdom is really important. yeah,
9:18 pm
that report in public cannot now be just to hear what they seem to be doing is just trying to walk. knowing that, you know, that will be an election very soon sensually shifting responsibility on to the next candidates, lower house of parliament has unanimously declared that russia's military offensive in ukraine amounts to genocide, including quote, mass atrocities and the willful killing of civilians. there is clear and ample evidence of systematic and massive war crimes and crimes against humanity being committed against the people of ukraine. the host recognize that the russian federation is committing acts of genocide against the ukrainian people back in 2019 the national inquiry into missing and murdered. indigenous women and
9:19 pm
girls released a report saying canada had perpetrated a genocide against indigenous people. then last year, nearly $200.00 unmarked graves of children were discovered on the grounds of a former residential school. adding to canada's already massive list of unmarked graves of indigenous peoples. here is a brief look in to that historical issue. 2 8 8 8 8 8 ah. 8 is you, in case you did that you think was that it wasn't you today? it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. you learn not to cry any mean you just get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. i
9:20 pm
couldn't talk a word of english. i talked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language, the threatened as with stopping. if you spoke it within a year, i lost all of it. 8 i used to be in my ill, dr. chang at night. i asked the principal to take him to the hospital. he didn't, after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain, he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to a doctor. ah, they started to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me. not one, not too many, many people for very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. from on this let's cross live to can stone from canada's hamilton coalition to stop the war? can i wonderful topic?
9:21 pm
how justified is canada's parliament to consider russia's military campaign in ukraine as genocide when this is their recent history? its unjustified sean. to label the current military conflict in ukraine as genocide as to tripoli trivial trivialize the word genocide? the word genocide was coined at the nuremberg war crimes tribunals to describe the horrific crimes of the nazi regime during world war 2. and what's going on and cry and in ukraine today doesn't qualify at all. and it's not original either by the canadian government to come up with a charge of a genocide. it we have in canada. we have in canada puppet government that echoes the sentimental, whatever president is in power in the u. s. or whatever, secretary of state, as an example, a year ago, the secretary of state,
9:22 pm
palm payoff falsely accused the chinese government of genocide of weavers and as jang province in china. and right behind them, the canadian government echoed a genocide accusation unanimously. then as well as where the canadian government takes its marching orders from washington, whether it's on ukraine or china, or among wine, jo. so, but the important point is the resolution. it was passed with the purpose of preventing peace talks in ukraine or negotiations or diplomacy. why? because how after all happen, you sit down with someone who's a genocide or, and instead the canadian government is going full speed ahead. wow. fueling the conflict in ukraine with more arms, more funding and with the mercenaries,
9:23 pm
canadian mercenaries. so it's completely the very core of gender upside is completely on warranted now, can canada itself, we've mentioned it briefly already has a grim history of abusing the indigenous peoples there yet. the canadian officials have stopped short of actually calling that a genocide. why do you think that might be the case? it's a double standard shon, where the canadian government likes to point the finger at russia or china, or iran, or other countries that are not complicit with the imperial agenda of the united states of america. but it doesn't like to look at itself in the mirror, but in 2015 the truth and reconciliation commission actually did label the, the canadian government as having committed a cultural genocide of the native people in operating the residential schools
9:24 pm
and $94.00 recommendations where we're made and that, that poker recommendations, that report shot on the shelf gathering dust in ottawa until the recent discovery of these mass graves of native children unmarked all around residential schools in canada. so what we have here is a huge double standard. and i would say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, will about that. like in recent years before the vote on the ukraine, specifically, canada had recognized 8 alleged genocides around the world, citing violations of the un convention. they're willing to call it out on everybody else. but what should canada do to address its own violence? colonial pass. how the canadian government should act upon those $94.00 recommendations of the truth and reconciliation commission.
9:25 pm
they started to make some moves tentatively on some of them, but they've got such a long way to go to make it up to the native people of canada. and who is land they stole? whose people, whose people's customs they destroyed and whose children they stole and tried to brainwash. now if you actually look at the, the history of it, it's just horrifying all the way around. can stone? thank you. good to have here and talk about these sorts of issues. the 3 year old photos of children sheltering from rocket fire in done yes. are the latest fakes to be utilized by ukraine media in the countries current war with russia? now the images appeared in a major media telegram news channel. this week. the images were initially taken by
9:26 pm
a ukranian correspondent and done yet back in 2018. the incident is one of many in which ukrainian news channels have used all the images to portray what they claim are atrocities being currently carried out by russia. now the channel claims that the terrified children were photographed hiding in a basement from russian showing in the countries 2nd largest city huck of. now the post got more than $46000.00 views. we heard from independent journalist and author, thomas roper, who says it's not the 1st time the ukrainian media has been spreading. se content. we have seen several examples are where they showed like, like videos from cameras of bombing, a city with rockets. and then it's, it seemed that this, i'm not actual videos from, from kia, but for example, or b as from da. next we have lisa in march, we had the explosion of touch got rocket, right? internet center was killing more than 20 people and the pictures. but then for example, in italian newspapers used as a,
9:27 pm
a proof for russia bombing key. if this is a pity, but it's normal. they are doing this regularly and nearly every day. i think there are all right lies cross because we see so many really open fakes, which are quite easy to prove. and this is what i'm doing. and on my, on my blog and with german media every day and, and when that when you get a minute and some kind of fake, maybe they stop talking about this one, but they think about another one. so they never corrected it. it would be okay, you know, everybody makes mistakes. they could sell cost, sorry, we took the wrong picture and they explain it, but they don't do it. they take their own pictures, people prove that they are wrong, and then they just go on as if nothing happened. so it's in of information of war and, and i think the red lines are all crossed. i that does it for me. the so i will be back in about 32 and a half minutes with another full infrastructure new say with this i change national . ah,
9:28 pm
was secretary defense lloyd austin says he will move heaven and earth to assist you . great. at the same time, the e was foreign policy cheap exclaims, relations with russia should be rebuilt. talk about a united messaging problem. this is a can to say, to say, do, craig, the west, let's destroy it. o is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safe, isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being led to somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith?
9:29 pm
in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. a you will see it's all a barracuda or a supposedly reco. gracie, you push him will see i need to. i was here to was in time with abilities, parental stability, discoveries issue and it was the global measures unless you mean you, me 0 is just for concern there, but you do it to bill. cheese to break means this to a better one is to show that you come back to by logical experiments on. so just employ, like, excuse me, should you use me to do any,
