very critical time to sit down and talk with india's prime minister continues these 2 of europe had made ongoing wisdom pressure on you, debbie to the office neutrality over the war and ukraine and joined the clippings functions against russia. washington is called awful back stepping itself on freedom day to fly criticism from jonas world wide pressure applied against views, proposing official and mainstream narrative cracks appear in european society as a military support for kids with germany divided and bulgarians railing against getting involved in the conflict from their loss is that what we want to ban approved a bulgarian territory be used for hitting either of both countries of the war. one of the governments favorite phrases as 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 international. i'm your host policy and i'll be with you for the next 30 minutes. thanks so much for joining us. in the main vents over the one ukraine, in the city of mario pope, fighting has intensified at the perceived as obstacles feel works. it follows the to day sci fi at the factory when hundreds of civilians were evacuated. meanwhile, and the la guns were public, russian forces say they are almost in full control of the city of beige, near the areas which was fighting since the very start of russia's offensive and civil hotspots still remain. it's the 3rd and final day of the indian prime minister, no written for modi's diplomatic tour of europe. he's already visited germany and denmark is true in fonts today. it's his 1st visit to the west since the start of

the conflict in ukraine, coming against a backdrop of diplomatic infighting and pressure, new delhi to join the sanctions regime against russia. with all the details. here's our t to cool thing. prime minister not enter more be during his tour in europe. in his meeting with his danish counterpart, met frederickson, discussed the relationship with european union and also discussed into pacific dies, as well as situation in ukraine. even as we discussions revolt around economic agenda, particularly india and use free trade agreement which is expected to be finalized at the earliest. but at the same time, his danish counterpart also attempted to produce mister moby to take

a stand on russia, denmark and the entire european union strongly condemned russia's unlawful and unprovoked invasion of ukraine. my message is very clear, poochie has got to stop this bull. and to end the killings i of course, hope you have india will influence russia also in this, in this discussion. well, and his response demonstrated not in the more be why did any mention off russia. he did not express any couldn't definition against moscow. and in fact, called for please in ukraine and an immediate profession off violence in ukraine. we appeal for an immediate cease fire and ukraine and for the adoption of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the problem. so thought india has been consistent on its approach towards ma school. it has taken its a started good traditional stance,

riches sharing a strategic partnership with more school. it has awhile did. in fact, all the wards in the united nations security council abstain from voting against russia. at the same time, it has been buying crude oil, destructive discount prices from moscow. like many of the countries are also doing that. in fact, the market in india are hesitant to be participants in sanctions against russia, but they're also afraid offered progression by the rest against india. well, on his last caught on his last trip in b, you're up there and he grabbing still more be really be visiting france and meeting president emmanuel marker. he's been recently reelected policy expert on indian

affairs committee, sco, believe 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 will, that russia has been in the us strong ally, then india or not in the past. maybe it has been russia that has come forward and supported india. so today, if you look at kind of estimating the more the underwood, mr. not it is one of the school specialty. and it seemed our when it came to court back to mission. when it came to look over the soft gosh, looking forward. india has strategic. dia on a no g for technical, and when it comes to the oil market, a stronger lines that russia, and do you see that that one is not going to get broken down? a bunch of guy d 7 group is also a member of bricks. red, that actually is

a strategic partner, you know, all the time. i don't getting peace because india is one country which is the maximum because of this war. if you look at a, b, b and the price is going to be, i have those massive b and that's up like, you know, got it because 90 percent of that y comes from russia. if you look at prices that i don't, particularly in india, are ecosystem is often the most. so in your want speech between russia and you can add a best to sling or, you know, i don't know any 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. right. so i think indian by mr. understand that far and it didn't, prime minister is that who ensure that there be more partners in europe who can support you, great. not to wage war, but get into these negotiation with fighting has

intensified at the besieged, self, still still works in the city of my real pull explosions with her trumpet day on tuesday the one motion official says around 150 civilians are still sheltering in the factories basements over the weekend, as the fire was announced in the area for several days, allowing more than 100 civilians to be evacuated to safety. during that time, the russian pro could evacuation of civilians from the off. so factory, mario paul also involved the you in and the red cross during an online place conference, the way it cause the way across representative to ukraine, confirmed to r t. the organization was aware of both russia and ukraine's previous attempts to open humanitarian car doors. and the obstacles face in completing the evacuations.

i know that there were many attempts on both sides to open corridors, and we were always ready to, to proceed. and to do in those corridors, we managed to be one, almost mother. i think it was a month ago, we need constantly to ensure that everybody on the ground was aware of that agreement that the, that was, that was they can had the capital level. in other words, it's transforming it, secrete fee guarantees for us, for the civilians into practical working modalities. since the end of april, russian forces say they are almost in full control of the city of business in the guns for public, the areas witness fighting. since the very start of russia offensive and civil hotspots still remain, ortiz and the rear phenomena sent us this report from the field as to weeks. so

fears fighting, the town of who business 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 nationalists battalions and foreign mercenaries occupying it may could tough opposition, shows them at the moment. the task is to capture and completely liberate the zari of plan from the enemy. then we will wait for further instructions or do 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 alyssa chance and 7 or the nancy. the last 2 strongholds of the ukranian forces and the republic. the army continues their relentless

advance had night. 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. using the quad copter offensively helps to find out the enemy's positions . it's a big help. over the last hours, the joint forces have managed to take control of the 1st line of defense around is that our planned old counter attacks were repelled. venom info. 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. or there are quite a lot of foreign made weapons and we have clashes with these on a daily basis. we are confiscating them afterwards. formal cut in supplies to ukrainian forces on the dunbar front is now

a priority control over the entire industrial zone. will not only pay the way towards least a chance can save it or the next, but also help gain control over the entire territory of their republic. or if notional harty from ruby eschnann, the u. s. secretary of state antony 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. united states has the bible promoting the right to freedom of expression, putting a free press. all also the world critics have slammed the idea of repressed in the u. s. the will press freedom index which assesses the state of journalism in a 180 countries. currently ranks america in 42nd place globally,

the european federation of journalists cause out the case of the we can be found julian astonish. he's wanted in the us for publishing classified fowls and faces up to 175 years in jail. a number of journalists are increasingly questioning the u. s . system of free press. what a joke, julian, his sons', is locked up in prison, fighting extradition to america for the crime of free journalism in his homeland australia, low rent, political leaders and the free press maintain a craven silence. shame on them. the u, as justice department continues pursuit of the extradition of weakly founded judah, nathan's from the u. k to the u. s. set the dangerous legal precedent. the move to prosecute him under the u. s. espionage act on demise. press freedom globally. the extraterritorial application of the u. s. espionage act could also threaten any journalist anywhere for publishing classified us information. in his tirades, arguing that the united states is a champion of freedom, criticizing countries that are critical of united states or opponents of the united

states. and the political stage and the name of opposing in the name of freedom and promoting freedom. i anthony blank and relied heavily on the world press freedom index, published by reporters without borders and that world press read an index out. it was published actually did highlight a big polarization in media and talk about how media is fueling divisions that are taking place. 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. i. however, archie and other networks that are more sympathetic and they were not allowed to participate yet anthony blank and continues to maintain that it's the united states, others the champion of freedom of the press. now, it's also important to note that he seems to think in addition to believing that somehow the ide states is promoting free press. well, it tries to shut down criticism of its foreign policy. he also seems to believe that us officials know better what's best for russia better than russians do. 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 for it's forward any perspective critical of the nato perspective, when it comes to the situation in ukraine, they are working to try and shut down tv networks and shut down dissident viewpoints. they're encouraging censorship. on social media outlets. so i mean, they were ever word laced with utter hypocrisy. there was those words we just heard from anthony blank and claiming that the united states is promoting free press and freedom of speech, which is the opposite of what u. s. foreign policy has been about in the last few months. jernace, daniel is our beliefs, the us government has politicize the proofs 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 on 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 anthony blinkin tries to, to deny it. parlor and american micro blogging service has become an alternative to

the big take mainstream media in the us. some uses have also called it a safe haven for free speech, giving birth to numerous discussions over politics. the platform has also been temporarily banned off to some uses voice concerns over the political situation in the u. s. we talked to the platform c o george farmer who shared his views on freedom of speech. i think that free speech is an absolute and that free speech needs to be held are equally applicable to all organizations. if you start putting yourself into a position where you're subjectively judging organizations upon the merits of something that you're having to decide, i think that that ends up in a very slippery slope. how long before you decide that there are other organizations or news companies or whatever it is that you don't want to hit the point. so soon as you start shutting down the conversations, as soon as you start coming to judge yourself, then that's a very dangerous position. to be in,

it is an absolute right to free speech is an absolute hundreds of protest as poured on to the streets of bulgaria on tuesday. angered at the government's plans to send military help to ukraine and demanding that the country states neutral in the conflict chanting, we want peace and neutrality. people gathered in front of the capitals, parliament. and sophia, the demonstrations began off to the government announced it would be holding a vote later today on sending military supplies to ukraine. those against the move i'm calling for a moratorium on dispatching either troops or weapons and on setting up military bases in the country. one of the governments favorite phrases as they cannot stay inactive against the injustice. but nowadays they are ready to introduce the bulgarian people to a war. this in the off season where 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. another european country is

showing signs of division of military support for kids. german intellectuals and artists have written an open letter to chancellor scolds making an urgent appeal not to escalate to 3rd world war by supplying heavy weapons to ukraine. charlotte to pinsky has the details. it's a decision that's divide in 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, you turn at the end of april of the 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 divided lies have now been reached. first, the categorical prohibition known,

accepted and manifest risk of this war escalate and into a nuclear conflict. the delivery of large quantities of heavy weapons, however, could make germany itself reported to the war, and the russian counter attack could then trigger the case for assistance under the native treaty and with it the immediate danger of a world war. the 2nd line of demarcation is the level of destruction and human suffering and moral ukrainian civilians. even legitimate resistance to an aggressor is at some point in an intolerable disproportion. the letter also urges olaf sholpes 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 stands seems to have landed the magazine in hot water, ukraine's ambassador to germany went on the attack targeting the editor.

hi, alice schwartz, or your call for ukraine. surrender means that your celebrated feminism was 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. all 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 than violent, border shifts and war crimes would be the new european normality, this position is insane. however, not all or 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 grew 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. changed also hundreds of thousands of selling to signals. 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 hate 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 for a weapon delivery and against any reflection or criticism of it. some of argue germany was bullied into the decision to vote to send heavy weaponry to ukraine. no, it's clear, there are many in the country who still don't support that decision. any dissenting voice does seem to be now the target of a campaign of bry waiting geology. wednesday archie harris inflations up gas prices up the cost of livings up. in fact, the only thing that isn't going up in the u. s. as jo biden's approval rating down, another 9 percent in recent polls is even lead to one tv host calling for his impeachment, claiming the destiny of the nation is at stake. it is biden really the one calling the shots on america's future ortiz. rachel blevins takes a closer look. president joe biden's approval ratings remain near all time low with

the majority of americans. again, expressing concerns over the weekends administration has handled everything from storing inflation to an increase in crime across the country. in fact, even speakers at the white house correspondents dinner had to know that the approval of the american people may be the only thing that isn't increasing for the buying and ministration ever since you've come into office. things are really looking up, you know, gases up rent is up, food is up, everything. know, it really has been a tough 1st year for you, mister president. and that's not even mentioning the increasing tension between the us and russia as bite and calls on congress to approve an additional $33000000000.00 and funding for ukraine. while the president and als is policy is that could impact the world for decades to come. he continues to struggle giving basic speeches as another reason paul shows the majority of americans are concerned about his age and they doubt whether he is mentally fit for office. we're going to

accommodate the re to caesar yards, luxury homes and other got engaged of prudence club tucker. yeah. could talk receipt the club. the guys who are the club. ta chrissy. so if biden isn't the one making the decisions for his own administration then who is well, it certainly does not appear to be vice president cromwell harris, who has managed, haven't even lower approval rating than by himself. she has stayed out of the spotlight so much that when the white house and now she had tested positive for cooper. 19 last week they said the vice president had not been anywhere near bite it. today, vice president harris tested positive for cove at 19 on rapid and p. c. r test. she has exhibited no symptoms, will isolate and continue to work from the vice president's residence. she has not been a close contact to the president, our 1st lady due to their respective recent track schedule. what about house

speaker nancy pelosi? she was behind harris in the line of presidential succession, but she was the one to pay a visit to kiev last week. and becoming the highest ranking u. s. official from this administration to meet with president can ukraine during the talk? hello c. thanks phil and sky for his work and promised that his country would have unwavering support from the us with the weekend in ukraine can just days after a similar visit from secretary of state antony blinking and defense secretary lloyd austin making by minim harris the only top us officials who haven't made the trip to yet, however, the rhetoric from the administration as a whole appears to be on the same page. our diplomacy is rally allies and partners around the world to join us in supporting ukraine militarily,

economically and with humanitarian assistance. to impose massive costs on the kremlin and when it comes to influence just how much of it is coming from retired government officials. as former congressman tools, he gathered noted by ministration announced plans for the department of homeland security to create its own dis, information board. just days after former president obama said the government needs to get more involved encountering dis, information online, talking to people at these companies. i believe they are some fear and trying to limit content to the gauges. in hate, speech encourages violence or poses a threat to public safety. so if it isn't the president or even the vice president who is calling the shots, the question then becomes, who is and what does that entail for about the us and it standing on the wrong stage bite in. never really got the honeymoon that many presidents get in their 1st 100 days. i think it's because of bad policy, right?

from the door trying to do a lot of the things trump did, which were actually working you know, into the failures are shockingly obvious. you know, americans are having a hard time putting food on their table. americans are being faced with a difficult decision of whether or not to pay a utility bill or buy food. this is the reality, unfortunately, for americans right now and for joe biden, as an elitist government official that's spent the last 50 plus years in washington d. c. that's the last thing that he should be doing right now is laughing at the situation that he's putting his constituents through, you know, because he works for americans. whether they're republicans, democrats, independence, libertarians, or socialists. they are all americans. the cna ones. russians to contact them to the doc net and netflix, which is often use for illegal and criminal activities. this my agency went as far as publishing and instruction in russian on its social media channels on how to

reach them. 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. 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. busy 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 that can report back to them. but then on the other hand, i think that they also expect to worry the russian government a little bit. maybe you throw this out there. you throw this information out there and you hope that the russians then clamped down on their own people that they

become suspicious of their employees and it makes working on a day to day basis. a little more difficult to see. i created a darknet site in 2019 that has the same features as a regular homepage. however, it's only accessible to the top internet browser, which has encryption features not available on most regular browsers. again, journalist and full messiah analysts, john korea, who, who thinks the move by the cia, is yet another way for us to interfere in the russia, ukraine conflict. i think what this was meant to do was to disrupt the russian government 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. i think the american government has made it clear in a 100 different ways that they, that they want to interfere and the russian ukrainian conflict. it's not just trying to recruit spies to steal secrets, it's providing weaponry. it's providing ammunition, it's providing international political support. it's kind of cutting off of russian access to international banking. it's cutting off russian energy supplies. so there are 100 different ways in which the united states is, is working against russia. well, that brings us to the end of this one is in for more news. hey, tom website team dot com. thanks so much for joining us. with .
