12:05 pm
personnel mines and cannot use them under any circumstances. among the mines that we saw were observed them $72.00 and p. m. n. anti personnel mines, which ukraine had almost half a 1000000 off and which they promised to the world they destroyed 11 years ago. and yet all around are freshly planted. ukrainian mon fields laid to slow rushes advance full of different band anti personnel mines, which ukraine lied about the showing. years ago. to the whole world more i'd gazda of archie for bennett's creegan officials in russia's belgrade region which borders ukraine say a fight has broken out. one of the local military facilities this fall as reports of a huge pin of smoke in the area of to an apparent explosion. this amateur fatigue was apparently posted by eye. witnesses. authorities say at least one person has been

injured. this comes as the governor of the neighboring cask region say is a railway bridge that has been heavily damaged in an active sabotaged marshes. territory near the border with ukraine has previously been shell to several times in the past weeks, while russian at offense systems have also shot down a number of missiles and jones in the region. earlier this week, vladimir putin won't, that russia will retaliate quickly and decisively to any foreign military interference against its operation in ukraine. yes, this daughter was named it sir. if someone from outside decides to interfere in the ongoing operation and will post strategic threats unacceptable 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 tasks of our military operation in dom bus and ukraine will be successfully tackled for shore. our soldiers have managed to avert a real danger looming over russia. the russian presidents warning comes as nato
12:07 pm
countries continue to feel the conflicts find delivering arms to ukraine. berlin has approved deliveries of tanks and other heavy weapons to key if, despite protests from anti war activists in germany. the u. k. has been providing anti aircraft systems and a range of missiles to ukraine, while us president joe biden has proposed a huge $33000000000.00 package in h t f. as washington revised the lend lease act for the 1st time since world war 2 . to facilitate this applies to ukraine. this sunday us house of representatives. speaker nancy pelosi paid a surprise visit to key f to personally pressure reassure ukraine's president of washington civil with visiting you and say thank you. and then another source of tension of ukraine has an ongoing build up of nato troops in countries bordering russia and bella
12:08 pm
roost. poland has launched a military exercise with this nato allies. this sunday comes to days after russia's foreign intelligence chief warned that the polish government is considering annexing parts of western ukraine, where poland had historically controlled some territory. daniel mcadams, the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity stays western countries. it shouldn't be ignoring putin's warnings over there meddling in ukraine. one thing that's been very consistent this entire time is that president putin has done what he said he's going to do. this goes back to december when the new documents for a new security architecture, winner juice, etc, etc. and he's done what he said he would do it, he should be taken seriously. i think it's very clear that the, that the u. s. and it's nato allies are attempting to ramp up support or ramp up the transfer of a weapons to ukraine. they believe their own rhetoric. they believe that russia is bluffing. obviously, the u. s. must know that this is
12:09 pm
a desperate situation for ukraine. why are they continuous and why more importantly, why is it in any remote way in america's national interest to be provoking a war over the borders of ukraine? no one has answered that question yet. a number of international officials have called for more multi polarity in the world during talks this week, including russia's top diplomats. so gala off, you've sold the regime. the world has changed on americans claim they want to make the world unit polar 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 defects over dominance of one group of countries out of 15 sit sakes belonging to the western countries and their allies. you and chief antonio gutierrez, was in moscow this week, the talks with russia's leadership where they agreed to new humanitarian measures for war torn ukraine was thought one also voicing
12:10 pm
a shad viewpoint that there should be more multi polarity in the walls. however, the you and leaders visit has come under criticism in the west is eighty's ecos, donna bethel, the concept of america's unmatched grandeur against any other nation in the world, has long been a corner stone of us national ideology is only for mary ellen horton horton free from today, we're all ukraine when wife is running a great a range of $54.00. all 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,
12:11 pm
america's ego had t to jazz were expected at the least the, you and chief speaking in moscow during our 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, whoa, that's who's multi paula with multi level institutions and those multilateral institutions must devise by the un chartered 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 punch to washington, while it's already having to deal with russia's push to reimagined the world order . and it's not like moscow's alone in this fight torsos and china, russia co operation, has no limits, are striving for peace, has no limits. our upholding of security has no limits or opposition towards had
12:12 pm
gemini, has no limits. america's traditional, middle eastern side kick, 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 aren't 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 us or by other aspects of the international sanctions regime. it seems the inception of and to you as descent, is going global,
12:13 pm
and washington doesn't have anything to show for it. other than to try and strong arm nations into obedience at you. that of most of our countries understand that in today's day and age in order to achieve peace and stability, we need a multi polar world. and 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 or non intervention. and we intend to work together with russia on the promotion of an international multi puller order. the murphy la to our system actually doesn't work any more in emergency put our world, the united states on its audio. so want you to unipolar world, unused her of emergency lot to our institutions fulfill. own shepherds can benefit . united states still wants to impose a, you need to put our world on, try to escalate the situation in ukraine when russia would like to work to achieve
12:14 pm
the main goal, which is a neutralization of ukraine was 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 want to use, or ukraine as a proxy against russia. and they made already your own negotiations impossible or on. and you were european security older to provoke this war. and you talk to play monetize rejected calls from the west to condemn russia's military operation in ukraine with new delhi. insisting that problems at home in asia should take priority 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
12:15 pm
asia should worry about that 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 can 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 has say, 5 defended it's neutrality over the war and ukraine as it maintains close times with moscow. ukraine has been essential topic of discussion between the indian administration and western count ponce for the past 2 months. and you talk, diplomatic has insisted that his country needs to rid itself of the idea that a foreign power could define new daddy's policies, as it should not need to seek approval from the west. we've got reaction from a former senior official in india's foreign ministry. we are being given summons about how we should behave and i think the minister should go was right to point out the show me more prices,
12:16 pm
whether vanished on the problem isn't and to which the europe in countries paid no attention, not the concerns of the nation. country age. so i think that he was quite right in pointing out that if not every country looks at the problem from the perspective of it's a geography anderson, national interest and the european perspective on this is not necessarily shared by other countries. but i think that we should all be concerned about the life of human beings or suffering for all around actually on. so vows the conscience of
12:17 pm
the finish state. the energy company gossum is expected to respond to guns prom before may 20th on whether i will comply with a new requirements paper rushing gas supplies in rubles, if it refuses finland's, could become a 3rd country in europe, off the poland, as will guerria to have a gas appliance halted by moscow. meanwhile, some bulgarians have been eager to reverse the government'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 guests from and deliver the contract. as the message from bulgaria, the deputy prime minister, after meeting with top business men in savannah, according to russian officials, most of guns from european partners have already complied with the request for rouble payments. austria and germany have said that stopping fuel imports from russia could lead to a deep economic recession, but they are still seeking ways to negotiate payments in euro's. some western
12:18 pm
leaders came russia's position, amounts to blackmail gas problems, announcement that it is unilaterally stopping gas deliveries to certain your member states is another provocation from the kremlin. but it comes as no surprise that the criminal use of 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 and other ways. lesson authorities have rejected those accusations, saying they are promptly delivering gas to those you have agreed to pay in roubles while some local of european countries are worried, the situation will backfire lisa to know. i think it will be extremely bad for us, but what i'm waiting for is 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
12:19 pm
a catastrophic effect. prices will grow up more. that's the way it will be. 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. goodman favor, 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 cursor price is lou lou increase. yes. so 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 prompts as it has seen,
12:20 pm
a physical reversal of gas from germany to poland, which means will so is still buying russian gas, but through a 3rd party and that the higher price. oh, it is don't. quarter investigates. 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 country's 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 its 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,
12:21 pm
over half of its natural gas from russia. those supplies then travel through the m 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 so 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 unsecured 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,
12:22 pm
poland established there. 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 . asha. this is a very cynical game being played on the ordinary population of europe on behalf of a lead to want war with russia at a, at any cost. nobody has shown how your can 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 ball, gary, it's already twice now. sacrifices national interests under pressure, much stronger western patron. so this is just a game being played on with our weaker countries, such as of oak area, while poland, poland is leading the charge against russia. so, you know, again,
12:23 pm
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, presenting what's a done deal. you know, we're entering warren to rochelle, proxy war, russia and you're just those, you know, blood, sweat, and tears. ah, my dad demonstrations have boiled. i've were in some countries on sunday with wire police using tear gas against aggressive processes and turkey. dozens of people have reportedly been arrested off the clashes central areas of his stumble, have been fight, install 50 or 40. think to quote large gatherings in the area resulting in violence between groups and protested on police. meanwhile, in france, a
12:24 pm
because empower is where police and also find, take out that angry crowds. this comes amid protests, so the inflation and low wages as activists. edge power is to do something about limiting standards of living in the country as well as environmental issues. following his purchase of twitter 1000000000, a long must have touched to allow free speech to flourish on the platform, sparking fears among some who believe there should be more censorship. instead, 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 or is this rule of influencing 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 news for him. if he thought this was going to be a be fine,
12:25 pm
i don't know what's going on with that because this is just gonna be a world of hurt in moscow called himself a free speech, an absolute his house highlighted the need to soften. twit is censorship policies. meanwhile, the world's 2nd, which is non jeff pathos, has questioned the possible rise of chinese influence on twitter. some human rights groups have also expressed concern, so that hate speech would be allowed on the platform as some uses have previously bailed out from twitter, including folks, news host tucker colson on now coming back, hoping for a new era without censorship, which, which has often made headlines where it's controversial, censorship policy you think living is battling of then president donald trump, but 10 power and support for current president joe biden. the social network has taken down more than 600 posts that were critical of his policies. we discussed the control the c with a panel of experts. well, i think we couldn't do any worse than what twitter has been to date,
12:26 pm
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 the 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 k left his gatekeepers. but it's actually a representation of people's voices in the public sphere. it's
12:27 pm
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 law and if they don't like i'm not defending this. i'm also as ill on must calls himself a 1st amendment, absolutist is this bad for democracy? know the solution to hate speech, to seats that one doesn't like. you don't like it's for the other guy to speak just as loudly or more loudly. i be a lot less concerned about so called the 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 mega phone, which is really what has been used, or it's been used to propagate particular narratives to,
12:28 pm
to squelch other views. and to basically promote a particular perspective. i think that the importance is the free speech is and trying when we engage in the public square and where the public square is now is on the so called private platforms, i think would be far more beneficial if they were nationalized. and if 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 enshrine to ensure free speech. and the state has been meddling in 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 all the way through. thanks keeping this company here in asi international.
12:29 pm
we'll be back in session minutes with so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. that development only really i'm getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk with business and you will clean with americans. a lot of it is just touching up. critical can
12:30 pm
certainly provide you with stuff such and sure. ruckel in was named after the different student info with you use their own the what the problem you're still with yours. with him at the study school district menu for choice for me too. i thought it was jewish and no longer interested in new students from up the push to to stream remote because there's no way to personally do school course. i don't know who's got no point. i don't know as much as a customer with us is come on both i can understand why russia would feel uncomfortable with.
