[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, the u. s. secretary of state posts about promoting freedom of speech in america. despite criticism for banning opposing narrative, india's prime minister continues to is to have your permit ongoing western pressure on you daily to drop its neutrality over the warn you crane and join the corrupting sanctions against russia. and cracks appear in european society of military support for kids as hundreds of bulgarians protest against weapons supplies to claim no losses that we want to ban approved the bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. one of the government's favorite

phrases is they cannot stay inactive against the injustice. but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war with hello and welcome to our, to international on your host policy clear. and i'll be with you for the next 30 minutes. thanks for joining us. fighting has intensified at the besieged as soft stole still works in the city of marie opal. explosions were heard throughout the day on tuesday and overnight. with one russian official says around a 150 civilians are still sheltering in the factories basements of the weekend. as cease fire was announced in the area for several days, allowing more than a 100 civilians to be evacuated to safety. during that time, when russian soldier retained the sci fi,

it was used by the ukrainian army should equal national, if it immediately, we had no truce, a cease fire only. and the ukrainian army in this old battalion has used this fire . they walked out of their basements and read 2 of their fire positions solutions. so right now, our army, together with artillery and air force is destroying these positions. we are always ready to lead people out. the main condition is to raise a white flag. but as soon as it happens, as these fire is restarted, we have all the necessary infrastructure and namely, the ambulances and bosses to evacuate civilians homeless shelter hopelessly for large filler than they are fanatics, which they are waiting for. something may be negotiations. okay. waiting for them to be taken out of there somehow, and they were, they've waste hope on joanne schemes about although they did say that they have been abandoned down there because keep doesn't answer their calls. like they're just fanatics. regular ukrainian forces would have already laid down their weapons reserved, their time in captivity, and returned home. there are also

a lot of criminals. they are bunkers and they have nowhere to run it 70 kilometers to the nearest positions of the crowning forces. they even want to have enough time to get there, even if they really wanted to. he just makes no sense for them to go out. it's only to wait for something serious negotiations. are you a secretary of state? and hoop lincoln has praised america as a haven for freedom of speech. but that's despite much criticism, state side of the pressure applied in the media views, opposing official and mainstream narratives. not as safe as the vitals promoting the right to freedom of expression. a free press. all also worth the fee for information ideas, opinions, including essential, closer to power, to say, vibrant independent press is of course on for any healthy democracy. sure. those words you just heard from us,

secretary of state antony blank and are simply met with laughter by anyone who's observed the policies of the united states. over the past few months. they've been doing everything they can to shut down and silence media that puts forward any perspective critical of the nato perspective, when it comes to the situation in ukraine. well, the arctic states wouldn't be itself without bashing russia and accusing russia being a pure dictatorship where all freedom of speech is killed. however, as anthony blanc um spoke, he went on to essentially argue it's a very significant challenge when it comes to dealing with the information environment in russia that has been created in bolstered over many, many years and a space that was already incredibly restricted as being shut down to virtually

nothing just in the last 6 months. now it's also important to know that an opposition network, an outlet that's critical of the russian government was invited to that press conference. however, archie and other networks that are more sympathetic that they were not allowed to participate yet. anthony blank and continues to maintain that it's the united states, that is the champion of freedom of the press. now he also turned on beijing and started accusing china of being totalitarian, threatening tiwana, et cetera. this is anthony blank and attacking china. in addition to. ready delivery to russia. taiwan is quite literally on the front lines of these hybrid warfare, including this information including cyber attacks. and these are designed to basically distort information, environment, democratic processes. so we partner with

to support. in fact, a journalism us officials rely heavily on the documents published by report that borders, but reports without borders is pretty well known to be a us back end of promoting u. s. foreign policy interests. promoting and reporting on things from one perspective. demonizing countries that united states is also critical out and kind of glossing over the problems and countries that are more aligned with the united states. so that's what antonia lincoln was relying on in order to make his remarks . now we spoke exclusively to the bell of russian foreign minister about the u. s. ban of america. and freedom of speech has demonstrated in the waste. he says he has a function against his country, have convinced him that freedom of choice is just the shell when it comes to the narrative of some countries. godwin would mcglatian thus, oh, how could we expect that the strong hold of democracy, the bastion of human rights, and the preachers of virtue will do this many,

including us thought the west at his to such idols. we believed that everyone should look towards the west. the recent events in belarus and what happened to russia clearly show to me that all this was a false shell behind which the west had its true face. the purpose of the shell is to ensure its dominance. it's not the right time to talk about freedom of speech or rule of law to day when all laws have been violated when we're trying to challenge sanctioned laws in european court's decisions are made instantly to change the rules. and all this does not leave us any chance for a positive outcome that we see the tenant attempt to strangle our countries, the west, and the european union take that most radical measures violating all their european values, violating all laws and moral principles. of course, this is a better experience for us, but we must take this into account in the future. janice, daniel has that belief that the us government has politicized the place and uses it for its own interests. us has

a double standard that's just glaring the u. s. a shut down r t america. it essentially has threatened with fines. anybody who writes for other russian websites, it has a very important journalist name julian assad, languishing in a, in a british prison awaiting extradition. to the u. s. presses politicized. the press has been as being used by the american government to advantage the own interest. it's just completely appalling, completely corrupt and, and completely anti intellectual as well. americans need both sides of the argument . they need the russian point of view, they need the american point of view and they need critical opinion in between, in order to judge what's going on in the world. and especially in the ukraine and freedom of the press is not covering up the political nature of the ass off battalion in mary a pool. because we know they're neo nazis. no matter

how much antony blinkin tries to, to deny it. the indian prime minister november modi is on a diplomatic tour of europe. it's now his 3rd and final day. he's already visited germany in denmark and is to inform next. it's his 1st visit to the waste. since the start of the conflict in ukraine, coming against a backdrop of diplomatic infighting and pressure when you're ready to join the sanctions regime against russia. with all the details, here's the ticket thing. dry minister, not in the mo, the on his 2nd day of the tour in europe met danish prime minister met frederickson. and in their bilateral talks, they talked about several issues, including by later trade on technology, innovation in r g, especially, you knew, i believe in our g as well as you create, in fact, prime minister,

not in the movie called for peace in ukraine and an end to war, you couldn't hear some good, good at the start of the wall, we immediately called for a cease fire and reiterated that dialogue is the only way to find a solution that we know when is at the end of this wall. everyone will suffer losses and that's why we won't pace. energy prices, skyrocketing food shortages, the spreading. this affects the every family in the world from yesterday, braden's turn it into more. the met german chancellor or lock shows. and in there by electric agreement, they, in fact agreed to set up a green hydrogen dos force. apart from that, germany yesterday. hi, demonstrations for and against india in the context of ukraine i've ever done. mr. movie to these tours has refused to criticize bonds, condemned russia. in fact, even today,

in his meeting with the danish prime minister, there was no mention of russia whatsoever. the law stopped off, rims to moody in this visit will be in fatis, where he will meet present emmanuel macro after his recent re election. in fact, to the store that has, that have been attempts by the european leaders to pressured eyes remans to moby to condemn russia. but that rhymes are more has so far, not, not only not mentioned dress shop, but the has continued josh to bite the russian crude oil by the discount prices. policy expert on indian affairs, punish, go or believe that russia has always been an important strategic partner for new daily and wisdom politicians. one change that i don't think so in getting prime

minister relating to condemning. if you go back, russia has been in the us strong ally, then india has gone back to starting the ball a russia that has come forward and supported india. so today, if you look at, i'm just, i'm not in the movie underwood, mr. john wooten is one of his school specialty, and you seemed are ready to go back to mission, but it didn't go over this boss, gosh, looking forward. you know how strategic dia on a no g. 40 take on. and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines to russia, nbc, that one is not going to get broken down. a bunch of that d 7 group is also amendment of bricks read. russia is a strategic partner. you know, all the time. i don't get in peace because india is one country which is suffering the maximum because of this war. if you look at to be the end, it will all prices in india, those massive b, and that i can go,

that's not good because 90 percent of that y comes from russia. if you look at what i think today in india, our ecosystem is often the most so in there wants peace between russia and ukraine and a best to sling. you know, i mean one time they're talking about peace. and the 2nd time we are sending weapons, how can you have peace negotiations? why you're sending weapons to ukraine bank. so i think indian by mr. understand that far, and it didn't by mister, is that who ensure that they bring more partners in europe, who can support you? great. not to wage war, but get into the negotiation with russia. that's the turn now to our top story. the russian polk infatuation of civilians from the as elf still factory and i will pull also involves the union and the red cross. during an online priest

conference, the press conference, the red cross representative to ukraine, confirmed to archie that the organization was aware of russia's previous numerous attempts to open humanitarian car doors. and the obstacles faced in competing the evacuations. i know that there were many attempts on both sides to open corridors, and we were always ready to facilitate that. and to undo patsy basie in those corridors, we managed to go one almost minute. i think it was a month ago. we need constant the to ensure that everybody on the ground was aware of the agreement that the, that was, that was taken at the capital level. in other words, it's transforming it, secrete guarantees for us, for the civilians into practical working modalities. they cannot be an agreement

middle of the night for an operation that is taking place next day in the morning and then the security situation. i don't know whether they bet there is. but after several days, you can imagine with a fire fire the secret, the conditions or the, the government for the secrets, the conditions were not met anymore. and that's why we were told that the operation was to, you know, to, to be put to an end. and that's why we came back and again, if tomorrow, if such conditions are met, we are ready to go. since the end of april, russian forces say they are almost in full control of the city of business in the guns republic. the areas witness fighting since the very start of russia offensive, and civil hotspots still remain as ortiz and the we have phenomena report from the field as to weeks. so fears fighting the town of business,

he is now completely under the control of russian forces. together with units from the people's republic of la guns and supported by chechen fighters, they are now focused on the local zed. yeah. gunpowder factory. located in the industrial zone on the outskirts of the city. it is heavily fortified, ukraine's military together with the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries occupying it, they could tough a position, shows them well. now at the moment the task is to capture and completely liberate the zaria plan from the enemy. then we will wait for further instructions. what do you need was the goal is difficult, but not impossible. the fighter se with optimism, we go with them on their nightly patrol. the why the aim of the operation is to secure a further progress towards elicit chance and save it than he asked the last 2 strongholds of the ukrainian forces and the republic. the army continues their relentless advance had night. the fighter is move without plight,

and we use infrared cameras so that we are not located and targeted by ukrainian drones, silent fast, and deadly weapons. russian force is also used drones, political with the help of a quad copter. we can figure out the enemy's positions and carry out surgical strikes, but using the quad copter offensively helps to find out the enemies positions in. it's a big help. over the last hours, the joint forces have managed to take control of the 1st line of defense around visit our planned old counter attacks where repelled venom in school. at the moment about 100 people have been eliminated in about 10 units of heavy equipment have been destroyed. there is resistance, we have a task and we are carrying it out all. there are quite a lot of foreign made weapons and we have clashes with these on a daily basis. we are confiscating them afterwards. we will follow cotton supplies to ukrainian forces on the dunbar for is now

a priority control over the entire industrial zone. will not only pave the way towards lisa chance and civil than yet, but also help gain control over the entire territory of the republic. brief notion of how t from the b as in the c, i a has published instructions on social media channels on how russians can contact the agency to the doc. net, which is commonly used for illegal purposes. and official said, it will provide russians with a safe way of engaging americans. but some social media uses unconvinced of the c r a's good intentions. there are concerned russians who are desperately trying to reach cia. it's not safe to directly engage americans physically or virtually in russia for those people that want to engage with the securely. this is the way to do it. really, d, i a how about last full when our own us members, families were kidnapped by the taliban in afghanistan. facts and it was,

we can't help you not. ok. did they say how disaffected americans could get in touch with russian or chinese intelligence? is it okay with the u. s. government? if china or russia to send weapons to disaffected americans? the whole created a dark nest. i it in 2019 that has the same features as its regular homepage. however, its only accessible through the top internet browser, which has encryption features, not available on most regular browsers. agency hope that motions living abroad can share the instructions with context inside the country. the site is designed to allow russians to reach the c, i a security from every way, with an official saying they are aware of lots of concern. russians desperate to contact the agency, dentist and pharmacy. i analyst a john kerry arkell things western intelligence is trying to find more information about the conditions inside russia, as well as disrupt government activity during the war. i think they expect 2 very

different things. first, i think that they expect to perhaps encourage someone in the russian government with access to sensitive information or classified information, perhaps in the russian intelligence services or the russian ministry of defense, or ministry of foreign affairs, to maybe reach out to them with sensitive information. this is a way for them to develop a spy to develop a source. but then on the other hand, i think that they also expect to worry the russian government to little bit to make the russians think that they have spies among them. that there are spies in the russian government working for american intelligence. even if there aren't any. this at least allows the cia to disrupt, to upset the russians to, to make their job a little bit harder. ah, hundreds of don't carrion's gathered in front of the parliament in sophia on tuesday,

protesting against plans to send military help to ukraine. people from 7 bulgarian cities organized a march of peace and neutrality via social networks. most of the petitioners carried state flags and numerous posters court for bog areas, complete neutrality in the ukrainian crisis. the demonstrations began after the countries parliament announced on wednesday that a vote would be held on sending military supplies to ukraine. those against the move uh, calling formula totally in mont dispatching either trips or weapons and on setting up military bases in the country. no one moment, one of the government's favorite phrases as they cannot stay inactive against the injustice, but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war. this analyses up when we want to ban approved a bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. the neutrality in this madness is the most important thing. and the youth in countries

also showing signs of division over military support for kids. german intellectuals and artists have written an open letter to chancellor schultz making an urgent appeal not to escalate a 3rd world war i supplying heavy weapons to ukraine. charlotte to pinsky has all the details. it's a decision that's divided germany, a country that for so long held firm on a policy of not supplying lethal weapons to a crisis. so it made a major u turn at the end of april after mounting pressure. but that dramatic shift in policy has now come under a barrage of criticism around 30 intellectuals and artists have led the appeal to the chancellor to stop the weapons supply and to prevent a 3rd world war. we are convinced that 2 such dividing lines have now been reached. first, the categorical prohibition known, accepted, and manifest risk of this war escalated into

a nuclear conflict. the delivery of large quantities of heavy weapons, however, could make germany itself potted to the war, and the russian counter attack could then trigger the case for assistance on the ne, to treaty, and with it the immediate danger over world war. the 2nd line of demarcation is the level of destruction and human suffering among ukrainian civilians. even legitimate resistance to an aggressor is at some point in an intolerable disproportion. the letter also urges olaf sholtes to do all he can to ensure that a c spy is reached with germany making a decisive contribution to a solution that they say will stand up to the judgment of history. yet this stone seems to have landed the magazine in hot water, ukraine's ambassador to germany went on the attack targeting the editor. hi alice schwartz are your call for ukraine. surrender means that your celebrated

feminism is just a front, a fake, to accept the mass, rape of ukrainian women by russian soldiers as pure cynicism. i don't want any one in the right mind buying your shoddy emma on the politicians has hey town to one green party politician wondering if the letters support is would have advised fight is in the war so ghetto to give up in order to prevent unnecessary victims while the deputy chairman of the free democrats in the buddhist dogs suggested that their position was one of madness, the letter states. we hope that a compromise can be reached as soon as possible that both sides can accept. if that were the german attitude, then violent, border shifts in war crimes would be the new european normality. this position is insane. how of up north school laura against this call for a pacifist line from germany. important call for artists and intellectuals. the

praise for shoals is unfortunately outdated due to his buckling under pressure from union free democratic party and grown and to deliver tanks to ukraine. but the demands to prevent world war 3 are all the more urgent voices against the move to supply. heavy weapons to ukraine are getting louder already on the petition side, change dot or hundreds of thousands have signed to signal that they are against such deliveries. while public sentiment in germany is split poll showing that an equal number off for and against that decision by berlin, their support for sending such weapons is said to be on the decline. the magazine emma, where this letter was published, also hates out of the media coverage of the war mismatch between public sentiment, 45 percent, against the delivery of heavy weapons and 45 percent in favor and media coverage. new sometimes surprising voices are now mixed into this. he detail rather one sided

report and for a weapon delivery and against any reflection or criticism of it. some have argued germany was bullied in to the decision to vote to send heavy weaponry to ukraine. though it's clear they're all, many in the country who still don't support that decision. and he dissenting voice does seem to be now the target of a campaign of bry waiting shola given ski. ot see harris, a sulky liver sausage. that was the blunder, criticism directed at olaf shouts from ukraine's ambassador to germany, who was angered at the taunton. his refusal to visit king of the back up to that being the recent snubbing by ukrainian authorities of a plan visit by the german president last month. acting like an offended liver, worst doesn't sound very statesmanlike. were talking about the most brutal war of extermination since the nazi attack on ukraine. this is not child's play. the ambassador's comments came shortly after tantalus schultz told the media that

keith's refusal to host the german president frank walter stein maya stood in the way of his own visit. ukraine had earlier criticised mister stein meyer for his relations with moscow, while or slamming germany for providing they say insufficient military support, despite berlin pledging to provide more lethal aid. in late april, german author and blogger, thomas hooper says, this is not the 1st time that the ukrainian ambassador has lashed out at germany and suffered no consequences. i would call him scandal from this, from this ambassador. he asked, i have a work as a roster to go on strike, not to work with russia ships. he's really mixing in german policies. and i think this is nothing in numbers or from any country could do or should do. this is not his job. imagine a chinese ambassador would do something like this in the usa or in france, or even a germany. this would be a scandal. but with mr. miller,

seems he can do whatever he wants and they seem to ignore it. and germany is always a country in europe. which was, which was in favor of helping ukraine financially economy. but let's don't forget the ukraine receive from the e. u more than 15000000000 euro, which are somehow gone with the wind and even the german government gave them money . so he is really biting the head, is feeding them, but the germans allow that. no, no reaction i. that's why i say we have such quotes of this ambassador for quite for several weeks already and no reaction. i don't know if i can go until there will be a reaction by the way, there is a on change. org. people are really collecting signatures to get rid of this guy. and there's only $550000.00 signatures in germany already. but the policy doesn't care. and the media also how foster channel artie arabic is marking it's

15th anniversary. the channel has started broadcasting on the 4th of may and 2007, having news from arab and asian regions, and quickly gained an international audience. a journalist have made hundreds of reports from hot spots around the world and interviewed many prominent figures and international award for walker respondents named the help of a ted was established in memory of the archie arabic journalist, who was killed one on the assignment in syria back in 2017, today arte arabic ranks 1st in terms of visits to arabic, new sites. ahead of all, to sarah, allow a, b, c, m, in arabic, and sy needs and maybe at what you saw, what he, oh. well, that brings us to the end of the bulletin for this hour. i'll be back in 30 minutes with more news and updates. i'll see then

ah, with with a forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people.
