the the with you we report from just outside the besieged to as of stall, feel sad, drink the last pocket of ukrainian nationalist resistance and more useful as the forces their allegedly use. billions as human shields. also this our we need the world's debt is multiple us with multi left institutions. while the un chief and other powers call for more multiple arity in the world, you are trying to convince countries to oppose that initiative. no more russian gas for poland and bulgaria after they refused to pay in roubles, but they tried to minimize the impact of their decision.

the forecasting lab direct from our studios in moscow, recapping, weeks, tom stories with our weekly program. this is our team international. about 30 civilians managed to flee the besieged as all star field factory in ukraine's mario . this week, i made help from the u. n. and the red cross, the factories underground levels are believed to be the last pocket of resistance by ukrainian nationalist troops with an unknown number of civilians being held. their russian forces have surrounded the plant for weeks calling for those inside to come out and surrender. and to stop using the civilians as human shields are cheese. but i got the reports from the outskirts of the industrial complex. this is a real complex. everything you saw this part. you thought now a week ago we could only come fly over here with our drawn,

but i wanted to have you with that is all part of the industrial side itself, including the red buildings. right. and then he puts that is where thousands of your great nations and the regulars and the hostages to people, but they are still holding. that is where they were. more or less said he, a deep in shadow out when the sun sets on the other side, that is when you gradient that was become very all over the place. because look at this 180 degree view in priority

across the entire c. vast industrial complex to see that that is a slack mountain where you, brilliant snipers are also very active, scurrying across it like ads. basically with inside the brushing artillery rush and drones and surveillance. nearby volunteers from the nits designated marksman. also watch was signs of nationalist activity. they spotted something or dam broward who conducted on your bill is not available chance of the robustness problem, though ignoring the head coach at alicia washington. thank you ah,

with me and you guys with no means who was talking with apartment block neighborhood that was held by your credit rationalist vis has been liberated from naturalists. and that is the black mountain over there in the distance today. ukrainian nationalist that the

spoil tip, but more active than usual. and so was russian shelling of it. who probably could you oversee that? she's sure you said you goose. forgive the machine for me. right, this was a good thing. you started with. rush, think so close for those sales for the you. movers who are to have a group and i think i'm we should but hold on please. yeah, you know somebody live a minute and you have to go to our middle level menu with similarly with the vehicle that isn't just an accord with all of the during daily she's was pu, russian forces are ordered to hold fire and the nationalist take full advantage every day here, there's a seat. you can actually rob it by the russian side, during which tom, there's a corridor humanitarian call cordial with

a number of them, but would allow ukrainian nationalist leave patient jo, however, hope it will not be at the club. you offered to surrender, or even let out. the more that you, the civilians was still trapped inside the out of steel. industrial complex, the number of world leaders have called for more multiple arity in the world during talks this week, including russian top diplomats, aguilar prov. you've sold the regime. the world has changed on americans claim they want to make the world unipolar for good. but objective processes go in the opposite direction. the world is multi polar. and we have been repeatedly saying that the un security council needs to get rid of its main defect, hope a dominance of one group of countries out of 15 sit 6 belonging to the western countries and their allies, to k u. n. chief antonio gutierrez was in moscow this week for talks with russia's

leadership where they agreed to some humanitarian measures for war torn ukraine and a shared viewpoint that there should be more multiple already in the world. but the visit was heavily criticized by the west artes because general comments the concept of america's unmatched grandeur against any other nation in the world, has long been a cornerstone of u. s. national ideology. usually for mary ellen lloyd foreign countries represent here today. and we're all right. why is russia i appraisal frankie, moral america is unique among the nations of the world because we were not built around any particular tribe, religion, or ethnicity. instead, we were built around an idea that all people are created equally and deserve to be treated equally throughout their lives. for as long as the u. s, has been making these claims rush has been wincing at them with skepticism. by then,

america's ego had t to jazz, were it expected at the least the, you and chief speaking in moscow during a meeting with none other than vladimir putin. it's very important, even in these moments of difficulty keep alive the values of multilateralism. we neither wolf that is multi paula with multi level institutions. and those multilateralism sons must devise by the un charters and by international law. sure, the head of the un may have been repeating something he'd 1st postulated at least 3 years ago. but this latest statement came as a sucker punched to washington, while it's already having to deal with russia's push to reimagined the world order . and it's still like moscow's alone in this fight torsos of china, russia co operation has no limits,

are striving for peace has no limits. our upholding of security has no limits. our opposition towards had gemini, has no limits. america's traditional, middle east and sidekick saudi arabia seems to be blind citing. it's big brother to buy making progress in sewing ties with iran. the saudis are effectively throwing off the divide and conquer approach that worked so well for the u. s. there, the russia ukraine conflict is likely to accelerate a longstanding transition to a multi polar world. one that will be increasingly shaped by a competition over strategic connectivity. and while some historic allies drift steadily away from washington, it's rivals on getting any clothes either. mainly because the u. s. believes that coercive diplomacy is still a good idea. what we would not like to see is a rapid acceleration of india's impulse from russia, as it relates to energy or any other exports, that a currently being prohibited by the u. s. o. by other aspects of the international

sanctions regime, it seems the inception of and to you as descent, is going global. and washington doesn't have anything to show for it other than to try and strong arm nations into obedience, a tooth and as a milk of our country's understand that in today's day and age in order to achieve peace and stability, we need a multi polar world in our cooperation and coordination will be important to achieve it, but as you who sir brazil in russia share principles such as the respect of sovereignty and international law on non intervention. and we intend to work together with russia on the promotion of an international multi polar order. the murky la to our system, actually doesn't work anymore in a murky, put our world, the united states on its audio. so want to do a uniform world unused. erbie murphy, le, to our institutions for via own juniper. to can benefit united states still wants to impose a, you need to put our word on, try to escalate the situation in ukraine when russia would like her to work,

to achieve the main goal, which is a neutralization of ukraine when united states today will be you're criticizing this meeting because it doesn't fit we, there are objectives to, to make the war as long as possible to weaken russia since from the beginning of the crisis they wanted to use, or ukraine as a proxy against russia. and they made already your own negotiations impossible or on, and you will europe and security order to provoke this war. india is top diplomat has rejected calls from the west to, to condemn russia's military operation in ukraine. and instead has said problems in asia should take precedence again, quite candidly, we've been hearing for the last 2 months, a lot of our, a lot of arguments from europe. so you know that things happening in europe and

asia should worry about it because these could happen in asia. guess what things have been happening in a shop for the last 10 years. now, europe may not have looked at it so, so you know, it could do this could be a wake up call for europe, not just in europe. it could be a wake up call for europe to also look at asian india have so far defended it's neutrality. over the war in the ukraine as it maintains close ties with moscow, ukraine has been a central topic of discussion between the indian administration and western counterparts for the past 2 months. in the top diplomat has insisted that his country needs to rid itself of the idea that a foreign power could define new deli policies as it should not seek, need to seek approval from the west. we've got reaction from a former senior official in the indian foreign ministry who pointed out numerous tragedies in asia that were ignored by europe. we are being given sherman's about, we should behave and i think

a minister should go was right to point out that shows me more prices, whether it vanished on on the problem on the internet isn't and to which the europe in countries paid no attention, did not concerns of the asian countries. so i think that he was quite right in pointing out that if not the re country looks at the problem from their perspective off. it said geography. anderson, national interests and the europe in perspective on this is not necessarily shared by other countries around. i think that we should all be concerned about the life of human beings of suffering for all around

actually on. so, vows the conscience was the original governor in ukraine has claimed he is ready to hunt down and execute people who support russia . those chilling words came in an interview with a ukranian news channel, which, you know, today, russia, blogger was shocked that in his car, this means that there are still rushing traitors in ukraine. an old traitors will be executed. i am not afraid of this word. it will be so we will not be able to stop people from shooting traits is either a bachelor. i want to remind everyone that a service has already begun work that will look for such people that it's already operating. you need to understand that we are far ahead in terms of information technology hacking. we have very good specialists and there are large databases. everyone can be tracked, no one can escape justice. a month ago ukraine's president vitamins zalinski signed

a new law to criminalize collaboration with russia, ukrainians face up to 15 years in prison for any economic, military, political, and other cooperation with the quote aggressor state. i had author and russia analyst martin mccauley, says that extra judicial executions could lead to a fall in western support for ukraine. say i really chilling and he in fact is saying that they will actually act in an extra judicial manner. because if somebody is found to be transferring information to russia, he should be arrested and arraigned before a court and a judge should in fact pass sentence. and what the governor is saying that he is judge and jury here. and he will then deal with the person who may accused of treason and hopefully the governor will not like take the law into his

own hands because that would in fact bring the whole ukranian excellent into disrepute the ukrainians are putting all russians of those who speak for the war will speak for boot and that they're putting their lives at risk. this is begun. very, very savage, in germane war finish state energy company gossum needs to respond to russian gas export or gas prom before may 20th on whether it will comply with a new requirement to pay for the commodity in roubles. if it refuses finland could become the 3rd country in europe after poland and bulgaria to have its gas supplies halted by russia. meanwhile, bulgarians have been eager to reverse their country's decision on the matter what we discussed and what we suggest, according to my employers, is that the government do everything possible to restore talks with gas from and deliver the contract. that's the message from the bulgarian deputy prime minister

after a meeting with top businessman in sophia, according to russian officials. however, most of gas pumps. european partners have complied with the request for rural payments. austria and germany have said that stopping fuel inputs from russia could lead to a deep economic recession, but they are still looking for ways to negotiate payments in euro's western leaders have said, russia, the decision to stop gas supplies amounts to blackmail gas problems, announcement that it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries to certain your member states is another publication from the kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the kremlin uses fossil fuels to try to black. my last, we're working for other nations like korea, japan cutter and others to support or effort to help the europe and allies threatened by russia with gas blackmail and their energy needs. in other ways, russian authorities have rejected the blackmail accusations,

saying that they are promptly delivering to those who paid in roubles, blackmail, or not locals, of the countries that have taken a stand against russian gas or worried it will backfire usa chin. no, i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for as the government to resign, i expect new elections and a new normal government because we cannot expect anything good from the current one . i expect it to have a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. that's the way it will be. i. i think this is the government's job to consider and resolve the problem. that's what they are going to do. in fact, they will resolve it. you citizen, it has become clear that we can get gas from europe, but at a higher price. so i do not believe it's an appropriate solution if gas is halted from russia. let's not forget that many you countries will pay in roubles to get gas from russia despite the imposed sanctions. as i understand it, we will not do so little in favor of it is difficult for me to imagine how we will continue to live with such increases. i think that this will lead to an increase in

poverty or the impoverishment of society in general. what will people it will be viewed, sir harder? no sir. prizes lou increase. yes um i think that the rising price is a worrying a soul, but we believe that we will deal with it and that these increases will be quite bearable for us. meanwhile gas prom says it has observed a physical reversal of gas from germany to poland, which means warsaw is still buying russian gas. but through a 3rd party and at a higher price, a cheese. don quarter comments. poland and bulgaria have apparently done what so many experts have said, is likely impossible. they've cut themselves off from russian gas imports altogether. it's all because the 2 countries refused to pay in roubles, and war saw seems pretty optimistic about it. brussels has also assured us that the countries neighbors are picking up the slack today member states met in the gas coordination group,

poland and bulgaria upstate. it us on the situation. both poland and bulgaria are not receiving gas from there. you neighbors. it's true just after russia closed it's taps. germany's gas flow to pull into increased by 5 times. looks like they didn't really need russian gas after. all right. not so fast. germany, bies, over half of its natural gas from russia. those supplies then travel through the am all pipeline which also crosses through poland. now to provide war. so with the gas it needs berlin is reversed flowing, that same gas along the same pipeline at a higher price. it should be noted that according to the available data, there was a physical reverse of gas from germany to poland and apparently to ukraine in the amount of 3 to 5000000 cubic meters per day. so the only thing different here really is that warsaw has to buy russian gas at a premium to save face. and that's no small energy bill, just for warsaw to say it's stuck to moscow. russia used to supply poland with half

of the countries total consumption. but with poland now buying russian gas through a 3rd party, warsaw seems to think it's diversified. bullish homes and the economy are secured for the supply of gas. we have the necessary reserves and sources of supply that protect our security. for years. we have effectively become independent of russia, a real trail blazing strategy, poland established their so i mean you countries might try to do the same while others try to pick up the slack. but one thing's for sure. the main source of europe's natural gas will remain the same. russia, this is a very cynical game being played on the ordinary population of europe on behalf of lead to want war with russia at any, at any cost. nobody has shown how you're going to compensate for the loss of russian gas. not only will they lose gas, but you know, the gas, they will pay for the much more expensive that it needs to be bulk area. it's

already twice now. sacrifices national interests under pressure, much stronger or western patrons. so this is just the game being played on with on weaker countries, such as bulk area, while poland in poland is leading the charge against russia. so, you know, again, poland obviously doesn't mind paying more much more than it should then it could, you know, just to get it russia. i don't think i know that no one really asked the consumers, you know, they're just, they're just being thrown into the situation presented with don d were entering war in russia, proxy war against russia. and you're just both, you know, blood, sweat, and tears. the world's richest ma'am ilan musk reached a deal this week to buy the social network, twitter for about $44000000000.00. he has pledged to allow free speech to flourish

on the platform, sparking fears among some who believe there should be more censorship. this guy has no experience whatsoever with any of the lines of business involved in twitter. he has no media experience. he has no experience with advertising. maybe what must cares more about now than that per is this rule of influence, power and celebrity. and he just got the worst job in the world. he is now the king of content moderation on the worlds fastest moving form. if he thought this was going to be a be fine, i don't know what's going on his head because this is just gonna be a world of hurt. but mosque a free speech absolute is, has highlighted the need to soften twitter censorship policies. meanwhile, the world's 2nd richest man, jeff bezos has questioned a possible rise of chinese influence on the side. some human rights groups have expressed concerns that hate speech would be allowed on the platform. that's as many who had previously left twitter out of principle including fox news host tucker carlson, are now coming back hoping for a new era without censorship. and twitter has often made headlines over its

controversial censorship policies, including its banning of then president donald trump, who years ago, 2 years ago, excuse me, but in an apparent support for current president joe biden. the social network has taken down more than 600 posts that were critical of his policies. well, i think we couldn't do any worse than what twitter has been to date, which is effectively a censorship and propaganda, oregon. for the democratic party and the the state. the problem was how twitter was previously being managed before you on moscow, on twitter, or twitter was owned by saudi proud branch, black rock, and other financial institutions. and it was being used to steer the public discourse in america towards the interest and the agenda of the american stage. now we have the possibility in and i'm not saying it's definitely a guarantee that they'll be some lifting of this censorship and some lack of

preference for official propaganda. and that will have actually a free space for actual discussion, which is not a threat to democracy as it's being put by the left gate left his gatekeepers. but it's actually a representation of peoples of voices in the public sphere. it's a free public space, but it's done by somebody. it's private property. this is not some public park that everyone's taxes are paying for. this is somebody has a right to kick people off the lawn if they don't like, i'm not defending this. i'm also, as ilan must calls himself a 1st amendment, absolute best is this bad for democracy? know the solution to have speech to see that one doesn't like you don't like it's for the other guy to speak just as loudly or more loudly. i'd be a lot less concerned about the so called speech from centered individuals than i am

about the narratives coming from the state department about chemical weapons being used in ukraine, weapons of mass destruction and russia, or elsewhere. the real danger here is actually twitter being used as a state microphone, which is really what a megaphone which is really what has been used, or it's been used to propagate particular narratives to, to squelch other views. and to basically promote a particular perspective. i think that the importance is the free speech is enshrined when we engage in the public square and where the public. whereas now is on the so called private platforms, i think would be far more beneficial if they were nationalized in the 1st amendment did apply. the problem is the government has its fingers in there, now nationalize it with the government. please. these arguments are insane. you either are an american who likes the constitution who loves the 1st amendment and is willing to take a flap in the face on private property. i think that

a free and fair competition is the way to instruct to ensure free speech and the state have been meddling and these corporate affairs. and so i totally disagree with the idea of nationalizing, and i'd like to see more competition, less monopolization, and less regulation, all of all the way through. the french president, a manual crime has won reelection, beating outright wing rival marine the pen in the close race. but despite his current victory, his party faces more challenges ahead during the upcoming parliamentary elections next month, across had to dodge a bag of tomatoes, hurled at him during a post election. walk about any pair suburb this week. as many people in the country are upset with his job performance, the yellow vest protest movement which has gained prominence in recent years as they opposed my phone. controversial tax policies have taken to the streets this week for renewed demonstrations. while that rally was quite peaceful,

many people around france have shown their anger following the president's reelection. the, [000:00:00;00] the these protests mark a continuation of domestic problems that have played microns leadership as he has faced a label of being the president for the rich. recently, after a slight increase in popularity amid the conflict and ukraine, his approval ratings have again been falling. in his 2nd term, he will have to address controversy surrounding pensions, reform,

and social inequality. marine the pen proved a formidable challenge, or 2 microns receiving many more votes than she did in previous presidential races . as she courted rural voters and those in overseas territories. in some of the overseas territories, she received the support of more than 50 percent of the population. we heard from locals who said that they were unsatisfied with both candidates, but voted for le pen to express their more pressing discontent against the current leadership would very much me jail. the martini can inquire loopy, and people have had enough of macro neglecting. there are problems like the high cost of living in isolation, and they were demonstrations all year amid the covey crisis. we tried to change things. we are not okay with marine le pen, but it's more that macro made all unvaccinated people unemployed. and i guess we are fed up exasperated because it's not a new orientation for our people. it's just angry. we send out a message because our leaders don't move to the these results reflect the level of

discontent in the population. people are not satisfied, they are not heard. and that's led to this result. i don't think that people are in favor of marina le pen. these are the voices of disapproval. additional to call a few people here, don't have any more trust towards mac crohn, so it's ok that they voted this way, but i will, i don't see my money. they just lie to us. so personally, i would like le pen to win for her to change things that does it for me, this are i'll be back in about 29 and a half minutes is another phone specialists news, this is archie international the for the business. and you agree in the daily shoes? i mean it comes graham, when you wrote you diluted some got to really such an upcoming ceiling and provide
