aah! with indian prime minister. no rainbow movie meets the french president in manuel mc kron concluding his pre nation european tour. and that's despite the waste, pressing you did need to pick signs in the ukraine conflict and join the sanctions regime against russia. meanwhile, the russian military has announced a pause in hostilities at the as of still planned in mario poll, promising to open a new hu, mandatory in corridor for civilians. we hear from locals about the plight they've been good during the shelling we were sitting in the whole of our flag between the rooms. when our basement is not intended to be a shelter, we lost everything. i lost my flag. it was hit by a ukrainian show, it was just one and it came directly into my floor. and the ease unity is put to

the taste of the plans for total ban on russian oil by the end of the year. that's a some block members expressed grave concerns at the move so i can be dependence on the energy resource with hello and welcome to our international. we're coming to live from our studios here in moscow. i'm paula sneer, and i'll be with you for the next 30 minutes. we stop at the latest from the ukraine conflict, the new russian defense ministry has announced the opening of humanitarian corridors, one more time for civilians from the results still still planned. in mario poll, it will be open 3 days starting at 8 am today. i'll stone it is will be stopped during this time. the united nations has been helping with the evacuation of civilians from the site and says more than a 100 have now left the plant. people have been taken to nearby villages.

meanwhile, indian prime minister who ingram moody has made a manual cross on the final lake of its diplomatic tour of europe. although indeed neutrality on the one ukraine has come in for repeated scrutiny. mowdy received a warm welcome because the 1st needed to have a face to face meeting with the french president since his re election with more than lateral talks he has. charlotte have been sky there ended his european tor here in paris meeting with president emmanuel mack on the 2 leaders. we of course, discussing the war in ukraine, the lease a saying that the objective was to continue dialogue with new delhi to insist on the consequences of the war on the international order well beyond the european union. and also in asia now indies neutrality under the conflict in ukraine has come under intense and repeated criticism and scrutiny from other countries. it,

of course abstained un votes. and despite the efforts of the you this week, moody has not been seemingly convinced that he should be condemning russia's actions. moody has continued to cool for ceasefire and talks between russia and ukraine, saying that this in only this is the way to resolve the crisis. now, while india sees rushers, bingham vital partner, let's not forget that moscow is a major supplier of arms to deli. it is also said that it believes that no country would emerge victorious from this conflict. in fact, morning that all will suffer losses and that there would be a more serious impact on developing and poor countries as a result. and it seems, despite the very big differences over ukraine, macula, moody, we're least able to put those aside to discuss some other issues the idea of the

meeting to aimed at and deepening the franco indian strategic partnership. the 2 leaders are certainly very comfortable with each other and have repeatedly described each other as being friends. now, france is also keen. it seems to be getting in on that idea of selling well in the india, with the elisa saying that france wants to help the indians to diversify their supplies. french diplomacy, perhaps using keratin approach here as it also added the id wasn't to put indians in an impasse, but to perhaps offer them solutions such deals will no doubt be welcome on both sides. but regardless, it is pretty clear that moody is likely to continue his policy of neutrality of ukraine, believing perhaps in just keeping all his countries options open. chip,

political analyst over shy does not believe india will bow to western pressure to change at stance on the ukraine conflict on anything else. mister micron law, the more the very well that's good. well what, what did you going, what is this foreign policy or no, nobody can, should i use the primary stuff like that in the will be, will have a lot of support in india new really not wait for a bank in front of the specialist because a and b, i believe in the freedom of foreign policy as the freedom offer policy. and that's what they're going to what these doing. india will go, what it is right in the i will go what it's going to look right. we're still in the world. ah, but i am to my uncle now where the russian military has announced

a course in hostilities at the as of style plant. they have also promised, opened a new humanitarian corridor for 3 days straight. for civilians was sheltering at the sight. additionally, moscow canes militants in the plant had attempted to use the cincy flat to the group that were prevented from doing so by russian forces. while the russian defense minister came to the situation and the city is now under control. so this is spurgeon, arizona in accordance to the order of the commander in chief, the remaining militants and the eyes of stole industrial platt are firmly blocked in along the entire perimeter of the territory. several offers made to the nationalists to release civilians to lay down their weapons, along with guarantees of safety and dignified treatment. in accordance with international law were ignored. we continue our attempts to persuade w. a peaceful life is being restored in the territories of the denounced can logan's republics and ukraine freed from the nationalists. this includes mer you

put in one of the largest industrial and transport center and the as of c, which is now under control of the russian army. when the court, the united states and their nato allies continue to poor weapons and to ukraine, we know that any ne, to transport arriving in the country and carrying arms or supplies for the craning armed forces will be considered a legitimate target from their shoe. meanwhile, locals and mario full say there is still no electricity or any heating in their homes. many of which have been completely destroyed. locals have had to cook outside in the yards. hence what some of them told us about a plight. during the shelling we were sitting in the whole of our flat between the rooms when our basement has not intended to be a shelter, we were afraid that the house would collapse. it's quieter now. manager to she will . yes. if we lost everything, i lost my flat and it was hit by a ukrainian shell. it was just one and it came directly into my flat. we go, al,

constantly cook outside. it is possible to stay in the flats of course, but there is no heating. the weather is warmer now, so we can even sometimes take off our jackets at home. the kremlin has said that there's been little progress. some peace talks with ukraine due to what it came to was cubes, inconsistent position on the negotiations process. with more details, he has ortiz maria phenomena. april 15th hays when moscow sent its proposals for a peace agreement to keep 3 weeks on no answer has yet been received. russia's foreign ministry says crumbling a's war in a lot about the progress of peace talks between the 2 countries, or rather, the lack of any dynamic. this is how the president's spokesperson. dmitri preschool describes the prices. he doubts, they could be productive outcome if things stay the way they are right now. moscow has never refused negotiations. whiskey of on the opposite has always been pushing for talks. key of has formerly agreed,

but the statements harsh and controversial that we hear from the ukrainian capital did not help and actually show a little bit different approach. secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council called on russia to surrender as soon as possible to minimize losses. adding no peace talks are possible at this point. as with the wes help ukraine will when he of regimes chief military speaker has also made it clear. only capitulation, that's talking about russia. of course, he has intelligence officials went even further saying russia would have to give part of its territories to ukraine and other countries. so it seems peace talks is something that they suffer in region needs urgently. but not everybody agrees and not everybody is interested in that reef notion a hottie from logan's you countries have faced a tough challenge to their unity in agreeing to the proposed plan on banning

russian oil hungry in slovakia, who both voiced their objections were presented with an extra you to pay that but his lavish says that would work. this is unfortunately not enough. we are expecting at least 3 years. this will destroy our european economy. so back here is almost fully dependent on russian oil and hungary together with slovakia being so reliant on russian oil raised major objections to the ban proposal from the european commission and say they may not be able to support the sanctions package here. tell him by minister maria drug court for the you to abandon its unanimity requirement on foreign policy. instead, he supports a move towards pragmatic federalism to better deal with a security humanitarian energy and economic crisis in one. bill shall grad if we must go beyond the principle of unanimity ridge which gives rise to an intergovernmental logic of clashing vito's and moved towards decisions taken by

a qualified majority, which is the only place but italian journalist and historian angelo doth dorsey fears pragmatic federalism would only lead you down a path of disunion. mr. boy said, i am given so that this decision could usher and the end of the view. because the principle of unanimity only is one of the pillar, something like, so it's dangerous and such a decision can have negative consequences by the union could transform into disuse . your ag, i believe, is the idea to switch to the principal of the majority gets their way if those nations oppose will take a different stance from the rest of the union. and thus it will trigger serious crisis which could foreshadow leanne if she did. i'm also, in fact today to states her dominant within the year, france and germany even without angle america either with the outbreak of the warning crane with these countries try to react and rational flashing. whereas edaly took a hard line position in relation to russia. it's frustrating,

read the idea of sending more arms to crate doesn't facilitate the to sation. the warranty great piece of ukraine should now be the principal objective, steve, if we provide arms to ukraine and will keep the war go away. maybe it just contributes to extending suffering devastation. so it is also a step which puts us against russia a bit. and then we shouldn't be surprised why russia would take a hostile step against us. we should act as mediators the favor of diplomacy, done god middle grade. meanwhile, in a speech report to be seen by the voice as news agency, the secretary general of opec group of major oil producers says there's no space capacity to the place russia supplies. dashing brussels hopes of a fast transition, much an oil and other liquid exports account for more than 7000000 barrels a day. and in another update, the bachelor president has signed a decrease introducing retaliate pre economic measures as a response to western sanction is in your document bands trading with individuals

and entities from so called unfriendly countries and, and also forbids. so to war materials to be exported to those states, we discussed the issue with the founder of an international strategic energy consulting fan. sure, masha tosh, they should remember state had a certain amount of lead to do. now i really don't want to go messaging is back, you know, we're all together in this like not. and indeed they should be. i mean, you know, what has happened is absolutely costly and, you know, it is the last thing, you know, one expect the policymakers have appeared to have become the decision that you know, that costs will be ball and you're not supposed to be prepared to pay the price, but it is a very difficult situation. one really has to look at the final investment decisions that i've been reading a day ago, which has not been given the prevailing uncertainty. good, good logic strain by confusing or mix signaling from the policy community. what are

the next new battles willing to come from? surely, people who work on the stuff, the guy, and a few other places where you know, supplies likely to come up. the question is going to be sufficient enough. meanwhile, fuel prices in the us continue to sky rocket. that's despite efforts from the biden administration to tackle the crisis. the us president blamed quote, putin's wall of choice for washington's economic was, although the crippling sanctions placed on moscow have 30 dealt a blow back. and you can watch how they are affecting the cost of living and more in short, documentary sanctions boomerang effect throughout the day here on r t. and it's of course, also available to view on our website, who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. and number those constantly growing a just

a moment. it's certainly mostly more in the room. we'll ship branding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g. i know they guarantee problems with the worker from, you know, we're pretty good regarding joe biden and imposing these sanctions on russia. you know, has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. ah, now china has reportedly held an emergency meeting in order to figure out ways to protect its trillion dollar foreign assets from possible us late sanctions in order not to suffer the same fate as russia over the war in ukraine. the chinese government has apparently held meeting with officials from foreign and local banks as beijing is reportedly worried that what hostile penalties could be introduced against it. in the event of a regional military conflict or at the crisis. china currently has an estimated 3

trillion us dollars in its foreign reserves. just to put that into context, the waste froze more than $300000000.00 of russia's foreign assets after the conflict began in ukraine. meanwhile, was searched by the international monetary fund, shows a recent decline in the share of the u. s. donna being held in central banks worldwide. it also found the other major currencies that are the british pound, the japanese, the n, and the euro are not making up for the loss of the dollar share. this comes with many countries are trying to skip away from the dollar. for example, saudi arabia is in talks of china to pay for oil in $1.00, i'll, china is buying in one russian oil and coal with its state media claiming the us dollar. is it wisc? it comes off to russia, demanded western countries by its gas and rubles after sweeping sanctions were imposed. the director of the political economy research group were the cause of sy speculated on the kind of actions trying to could take to protect its assets,

aboard. they have been in there been increasing stress or self reliance in the economy that has they have already created their own payment systems which, who score they are widening there, including more countries in it, more financial institutions. and it's of that can go on china as you earlier pointed out in one of your reports, there is a diversification of foreign exchange reserves shining compared to russia. china is even more deeply integrated into the international economy, into the u. s. economy into the european economy. et cetera, then russia is. and so in that sense, if you be very difficult to disentangle these relations, it is, or, you know, china can hedge china and make differences at the margins, but doing anything more would be essentially to break its relations with the world economy before sanctions or the 2nd thing is that of course any sanctions that are imposed on china b as. 6 harmful if not more harmful for the country,

imposing the sanction of the united states sanctions, china, it's going to lose as well as the united states is already suffering from a high level of inflation. so if it were to sanction china, imagine the economic damage. imagine where inflation they go, the more the united states acts in this fashion, the more it is essentially a bushing countries to enter into these sorts of agreements with china to trade in the you on all the remedy. and out to something seemingly lost in the midst of time, but holding deep residents to day weeks before the ukrainian parliament declared its independence. in august 1991. the then us president george bush, senior, visited give and spoke of extreme nationalism in the country, sparked by ethnic hatred. americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far off tyranny with

a local despotism. they will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred. labor and human rights lawyer dan covenant believes that washington doesn't view supplying extremist groups within the ukranian army with weapons as problematic. they know that the neo nazis or they are in fact the c i is been working with them, training them to kill russian. they see these neo nazis is their allies. just as they have seen, the radical jihadists in syria as their allies, they wanted to stabilize the world. they wanted to stabilize countries, they see as rivals, so that the us can maintain germany in the world. and they see these nazi groups as an instrument that they wanted to weaken russia. and they thought that working with these groups in ukraine her would do just that. since the start of the us as an

offensive multiple stories have made headlines and ukranian media and then been, we posted globally, some of them were later disproved, including by the same ukrainian media outlets themselves. that's as the russian representative to the un says, evidence of misinformation in the conflict is being collated, artie's egleston of has been taking a closer look to the calamitous situation and mario, both the 4th wave of mobilization, local militia, previously confined to their home turf can now be sent straight into the slaughter with little to nothing to show for it. ukrainian major has again resorted to a tactic they've excelled in fakes. the butcher killings have been supplanted from the headlines by other stories in bid to keep it in vogue, ukraine's prosecutor general docs a bell or russian national, claiming he was one of the culprits. the proof. cctv footage of the man from

a local shipping company that was allegedly used by russian soldiers. the dogs thing came to a very unpleasant surprise for the man himself who apparently never even served in the bill of russian army, let alone the russian one. i have not left the republic of belarus for more than 2 years. they made a war criminal out of me, although i have nothing to do with the armed forces. as for the trunk lid, i sent yes indeed. i sent it via the bell russian post to russia. the announcement of the sale was published even before the vessel and butcher threats to come to me and my loved ones. please stop. local journalists found and spoke to his relatives and colleagues who confirmed sir gay's alibi. it's not the 1st time ukraine's prosecution has misfired and pushed random civilians under the bus of hatred and mos threats. a wedding photographer woke up one day to find out his a butcher and saddest, and wields a very different barrel for

a living. at least according to ukraine law, glen ukrainian news channel posted information that i allegedly participated in atrocities in the city of butcher in ukraine. but in fact, i have not left the territory of the city of your cosca for more than a year. at 1st i was shocked, and then i decided not to attach any important stating that then the threats against me and my family began. they wrote to me, my wife and my sister company, i am a victim of an information war. it is a legal and dishonest to do so to the civilian population, which is not to blame for anything or the butch and narrative was far from the only one ukrainian talking heads are trying to wipe the dust off and return to the headlines at the very outset of the war, ukrainian sauce is propagated, the legend over ukrainian military pilot, whose deadliness was matched only by his elusiveness, this anonymous phantom ace, even got his own nickname, the ghost of ki,

of ah, ah ah, it soon became obvious for every rational human being this was nothing but a fable tailored to keep up the morale of ukrainian forces and citizens alike. it took months for cave officially to finally admit to that old bid. they did try to save face hero of ukraine, stephanie, terrible could not ghost of kia and he did not hit 40 planes ghost of kiev as a super hero legend, whose character was created by ukrainians. another ukrainian faith goes down. ah,

the top brass of the russian army has seen some casualties and the conflict, but ukraine's the lustful sensation can never be satisfied with provable facts. apparently, as they claimed moscow's top general was recently wounded on the front lines. our insider says, chief of the general staff of the russian armed forces. valerie deer, asimov was wounded on the territory of ukraine. he received a shrapnel wound to the right lower leg without a bone fracture, but unlike previous fakes, this one's lifespan turned out to be very short with cave officials, again refuting their own story, we already have certain confirmations that he was not injured as russia slowly but surely makes gains in the east of the country. cave is desperate for 2 things. more weapons from the west and diverting the eyes of the public from the big picture. and in both cases, anything goes ah, anything further afield now and waste is continuing in the amena capital with

thousands making their voices heard on a 3rd day of antique government protests. to demonstrate his are angry about, confessions, they believe, are planned by the prime minister to nathan as a vision of the long distance if he can of no go, not come about in the south caucasus activists flocks, feats and the saint of 11 with pennies. moving in to break up the crowds. people also attempted to enter the grounds of the fallen ministry building from toneless, filed this report. with many streets have been blocked since may 1st, and it's still happening every day. police useful and detained. hundreds of protested after a week of demonstrations, the opposition demanding the government resign gathered in the city square on may 1st. the vice president of the national assembly claimed he would spend the night that off to which tents was set up in the square. the opposition believes that the government will give all sac region to azerbaijan. they claim it is possible to avoid by removing the prime minister from power with public pressure. the 2nd and

3rd armenian presidents joined the protest is spending the night intense in the square in it. well, that's where the final for now, but stay close says phase lots more coming up from moscow. this is i t international. thanks for joining us. ah. ah ah

ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon council culture. really desperate wonderful lucille malice, who thought when william rog here just sitting there with the phrase now particularly refers to counseling russian culture. yet i know what she grew up of. she was the zip code when you miles, sure. what's your over your child? so i'll let go. the most of the sub richland, m. e them we what rushes created over the past 1500 years is now question harshly. condemned, reviled and rejected to sit in line and you said it's funny at the will of bell. there's a lot closer on a whole bunch. thank you said a little short list. joining total condemnation, gross daily,

and now enclosed da staff skate to cascade shostakovich that i need to you all left. but yes, she says that what the time will you do a bomber lee? you're not going to do that enough with the law. ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock, were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle. western median politicians are obsessed with the idea of ukraine winning say otherwise than you are maligned, accused of treason, and even cancelled. the ukraine must wind trove is actually about something completely different. that has everything to do with weakening russia, ah,

cross sucking who's winning? i'm joined by my guess, martin j america. he is an award winning journalist and commentator. and in sydney, we cross into loria, he's the editor in chief of consortium news dot com. hi, tony. cross how close in effect that means it can jump anytime you want. i always appreciate a job. let me go to you 1st and sidney here. why is a western medium politicians obsessed with this job? ukraine is winning. ukraine will win um without any kind of serious analysis of the battlefield. now we could, we could relegate that to experts on the military. but for the last 30 years, western military experts have gotten everything wrong. so i think we're losing on all county or go ahead joe. oh, because see corporate media in the west has joined the campaign. the government's campaign which is bertram out, clearly an american proxy war against russia. this is.
