ah ah ah, the russian military has opened a new humanitarian corridor for civilians from the exhaustible steel planting mario pole. we hear from those infatuated about the nightmare they've had to endure. we can breathe air, fresh air. it's a dungeon. they're almost like 3 flo was down below the earth. it was very scary. before we were 2 months under fi, it was scary to go out and be in use unity as per to the taste of plans for total bad on russian oil by the end of the year. what's the about your warning? it will destroy the blocks economy, the italian prime minister. meanwhile, once to abandon a core value of your decision making. the unanimous approach when it comes to foreign policy,

preferring pragmatic federalism one italian journalist here's that will simply lead to just union within the block. this decision could push her in the end of the view because the principle of unanimity is one of the pillars helped a lot of the union performance with hello and welcome to our, to international way. we're coming to you from the russian capital. i'm policy and i'll be with you for the next 30 minutes. thanks so much for joining us. we stop at the latest on the ukraine conflict in murray opal. the russian military has announced a pause in hostilities at the assault, still planned and opened a new humana tarion corridor. for 3 days straight for civilians sheltering at the sight earlier, more than 100 locals were evacuated. we heard from those evacuated to a town. internet's about the plight they've enjoyed, which is the house number of homes that it was very scary before were 2 months

under fi, it was scary to go out by that time. we were just hoping and your slightest opportunity and you need to leave. because there may not be another chance. so the decision was made right away. look, we're so grateful, we have no words to express our gratitude. my whole family is alive in the vile connections have already appeared here. so we'll ready. good news about a relatives. we can breathe air, fresh air. you can walk on the ground on the grass. it's a dungeon, they're almost like 3 flo was down below the earth. it was shaking. we were afraid that the ceiling would fall with me. i think everyone is glad that everything is over. silences come, i brought with the kids today. when we ended ever so it was still snowing. and when we came out there we saw the grass. we walked around with the kids breathe fresh air. at least the children remembered what fresh air is like. meanwhile, the kremlin has said there's been little progress in peace folks with ukraine. g to

what if claims is kids inconsistent a position on the negotiations process. with more details, he has artes from the rear phenomena. april 15th hays, when moscow sent its proposals for a peace agreement to key of 3 weeks on no answer has yet been received. russia's foreign ministry says crumbling a's war and 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 process. he doubts, they could be productive outcome if things stay the way they are right now. while school has never refused negotiations with key 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 do not help and actually show a little bit different approach. secretary of ukraine's national security and

defense counsel hold on russia to surrender as soon as possible to minimize losses . and in no peace talks are possible at this point. as with the west, help ukraine will when he of regimes chief military speaker has also made it clear only because we to lation that's talking about threshold 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 this suffering 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 the unity in agreeing to the proposed plan. i'm banning russian oil hungry and savannah who both voiced their objections were presented with an extra year to pay. but by to slavish says that would work. this is unfortunately not enough. we are expecting at least 3 years. this will destroy our

european economy. slovakia is almost funny, dependent on russian oil and hungary together with slovakia being so reliant on washing oiled, raised major objections to the ban proposal from the european commission and say they may not be able to support the sanctions package. the italian prime minister maria drug called for the you to abandon the unanimous approach on foreign policy. instead, he supports a move towards pragmatic federalism to better deal with a security humanitarian energy and economic crisis in one. the balance that if we must go beyond the principle of unanimity, which gives rise to an end to governmental logic, is clashing vito's, move towards decisions taken by a qualified majority so that she's the only praise. but italian journalist and historian angela dorothy fears pragmatic federalism would only lead you down a path of disunion. dorothy has been disappointed by the coverage of the ukrainian

conflict in the wisdom media, including in his home country of italy. he's even refused to continue cooperating with the major national newspaper less stumper. hey, so i said i'm given so that this decision could usher and the end of the really because the principle of anonymity only is one of the pillars of the blog. 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 him also, in fact, today, to states her dominant within the year, france and germany even without angle america, with the outbreak of the warning crane these countries try to react an irrational fashion. whereas edaly took a hard line position in relation to russia. it's frustrating. we the idea of sending more arms to crate doesn't facilitate the to say,

sions of the war and ukraine. peace and ukraine should now be the principal objective. steve, if we provide armster crane, it will keep the war go away. maybe it just contributes to extending suffering, he devastation. so it is also a step which puts us against russia beach and then we shouldn't be surprised why russia would take a hostile step against us. we should act as mediators the favorite diplomacy, done god middle grade. meanwhile, in a speech during a meeting of the opaque pest group of nato oil producers, the secretary general reported he says, there is no spake capacity to the place of russian supplies. dashing vessels, hopes of a fast transition. rushing oil and other liquid exports account for more than $7000000.00 barrels per day. and in another update, the russian president has signed a decrease introducing vitalia. you cannot make measures as a response to western sanctions in your document, fans trading with individuals and entities from so called unframed country, yet also for certain materials to be exported to those states. we discussed the

issue with the founder of an international strategic energy consulting firm, i suppose shuster you remember, state had a certain amount of lead to do. now. clearly the political messaging is back, you know, we're all together in this like not. and indeed, they should be, i mean, you know, what happened is absolutely costing and, you know, it is the last thing you know, one expect the want to make us have appeared to have become that decision that you know, that costs will be bull and europe appears to be put back 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. well, the next new bottles will come from. surely people are not the one 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. but as far as secretary les tress announced a ban on russian access to services, including management, consulting, accounting, and public relations. however, any band would, for the most part, formalize an exodus of the big 4 global accounts. since that was completed weeks ago, the service companies have a really big, wealthy russian clients in part because of their concerns for the reputations. meanwhile, fuel prices in the us continue to skywalker's, and that's despite efforts from the biden administration to tackled the cases. the u. s. president blames, quote, hooton's war of choice for washington economic woes. although decrypting sanctions placed on moscow have certainly dealt a blow back. and you can watch how they were affecting the cost of living and more . in short, documentary sanctions boomerang effect throughout the day. here on our tea, it's also available to view on our website the who is the

aggressor today i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions. today, russia as a country with the most sanctions imposed against it, a number that is constantly growing up. i was just questioning that i could come and sit with you. my number was preventing all imports from russian oil and gas, new g, i say re suffering the price for it happening. another crunchy of those little we're going to reset their shots. interesting. and all that are going to, we're already given a job by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. china has reportedly held in emergency meeting in order to figure out ways to protect its trillion dollar for an assets from possible us lead sanctions in order

not to face the same fate as russia over the war in ukraine. the meeting was apparently held with officials from foreign and local banks as phasing is reportedly worried that russia stock penalties could be introduced against it. in the event of a regional military conflict or other crisis. trying to currently has an estimated 3 trillion us dollars in its foreign reserves, just to push it into context, the waste focus more than $300000000000.00 of rushes for an assets after the conflict began in ukraine. meanwhile, the search by the international monetary fund shows a recent of klein in the shade of the us dollar being held in central banks worldwide. it also found the other major currencies that the british pound, the japanese yen, and the euro are not making up for the loss of the dollar share. yeah, a quick recap of countries with a dollar is losing its hold. me is who's

the director of the geopolitical economy research group, but you could decide speculated on the kind of actions that china could take to protect its s as a board. 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 scope, they are widening their, including more countries in it, more financial institutions. and it's so that can go on china, as you pointed out in one of your reports, there is a diversification of foreign exchange reserves. shiny 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, it will be very difficult to disentangle these relations. it is, you know, china and hedge china can 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 really 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, 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 u on order. and maybe the chair with the nato military committee has admitted that the blocks agreement with russia is no longer limited for its expansion. that's according to an article in the financial times the nato, russia act is still there, but nothing that we have to do is going to be hampered by its content. for now, the general opinion on the political level is that we do not chill the agreement, but nothing. and it will stop us doing what we have to do me mala. chinese foreign ministry spokesperson posted a map of nato expansion through the years fighting a conversation between the soviet leader and the u. s. secretary of state in 1990. when the u. s. official promised, the block would not expand an inch to the east. sense would be the seo at the line says military presence in eastern europe has increased 10 fold, but face of politics and international relations at east china normal university joseph gregory mahoney. but leave china seas nato as

a threat to global security. as a matter of foreign policy press will, china generally opposes forming military blocks. and it does this because too often these 3 or more insecurity unsecured, because they often operate outside the sort of multilateral organizations like united nation. and instead, follow the whims of their dominant hedge a monic member, which in those cases the united states. second, although china does not support the, you know, the war and ukraine, although it's expressed sympathy for ukrainian sovereignty and suffering in ukraine . although it sent humanitarian aid to you, great. beijing has also made it clear that it's sympathetic to russia's security concerns. visa be made to expansion and that it opposes sanctions and will remain neutral. 3rd child sees nato as a threat to both regional and global security. and so much of the white house has made it clear that it would like to expand it was mission to include opposing china . and in so much as the current conflict and ukraine for which nato bear some

responsibility is also creating more security globally. indian prime minister in america mowdy has wrapped up his 3 day visit to germany, denmark and france, his 1st fun to it this year delights it is always to meet my friend, president, pneumonia micron. we talked at length about bilateral, as well as global issues, india and france, a proud developmental partners without partnership spread across different sectors . moody, also discuss defense corporation in what was the 1st hopes since emanuel con was we lectured last month. the 1st quarter movies 12 was germany, where john for all assaults pledged as much as 10000000000 euros in aid to help india achieve its sustainable development goals. genius, if it's a denmark, the indian prime minister held a series of bilateral meetings with his counterparts from nordic countries and attended the 2nd india nordic summit. the few can tour comes in that a backdrop of diplomatic infighting. as the waste has been angered at new denny for

not taking an aggressive stand against russia over its war in ukraine. geopolitical analysts, gorgeous, shy, does not believe india will bow to wisdom pressure to change its staunch on the ukraine conflict or anything else. mister macaroni knows muddy very well what. what did you bring? what is his current policy? so nobody can, missionaries are prime minister like that in there will be who has a lot of support in india. new believe the way to the bank in front of the pressures because i believe in the freedom of foreign policy as well as the read them also is that policy? and what will these blink india do? what if things is right in the i will do what it came to right was to push priest in the war and all to something seemingly lost in the midst of time. but holding

deep resonance to day weeks before the ukrainian parliament declared its independence in august 1991, the vin us president george bush senior visited kids 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. nay, been human white through dan coverlet believes washington doesn't few supplying extremist groups within the ukranian army with weapons as problematic. they know that the neo nazis are they are in fact a 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 her 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. the one ukraine has been made a challenge for the media with fake news stories coming up on a daily basis and rush and the waste locked in a battle to ban each other's outlets. so the publication by the reporters without borders, organization of its will to place freedom index, has raised more than a few all balls off to it. put some baltic states in the top 10 and stone is ranked as for, even though the country has blocked russian media since 2012, lithuanians, 9 can the index. but again, access to russian media sources is limited. we talked to the chief editor of belt

news, a russian language, news agency, who shared his views on the situation with press freedom in the region to let it fly board just slow. but if your nino, it is impossible to talk about freedom of speech in the region now that has been no freedom of speech in latvia, lithuania and estonia for a long time. this is total censorship, which is maintained by methods of criminal prosecution. they have all the ratings of freedom of speech in the region to value the very essence of such racing organizations. the writing now looks like a mock of marriage, not in freedom of speech, but on the country and censorship. in lithuania, our colleagues had to leave the country under the threat of criminal investigation or being under investigation. friends from sputnik estonia had the editorial staff disposed also under threats of criminal prosecution. amid the pressure and working conditions, we face the new rankings from reporters without borders. look like a bad joke. the situation with the russian media and the waste has become

increasingly difficult in march, 2020 to a complete ban on the work of russian stake need in the ear was introduced in response to the wall covering among others, our teeth, foot neck. and they subsidiaries, again, balconies chief editor who fears with censorship in the waste is headed dorsey dillard's, i need way you please can rusher is not even close to the scale of censorship, not only in baltic states, it's total that, but also in western europe, france or u k. they shy at nothing. they don't care about formal procedures anymore. the latest example is the foreign office giving an order to block everything connected to art in sputnik, not the regulator, but the foreign office. in latvia, bolt news lost its domain name, not because of the regulators decision. they had nothing on us, but under an initiative from the foreign ministry, we see the same in lithuania and estonia. the media market is for a long time controlled, not by the regulated, but by special forces and political leadership that decides what's right. what's

wrong and initiates repressions against journalists and media that are not favorable to the local political landscape and go against the mainstream. in latvia, we have 14 colleagues and friends facing criminal prosecution. they're accused of violating sanctions despite sanctions having no relation to our agency. this is arbitrary treatment and unlawful political persecution. not looking for the one ukraine has prompted a delusion of antique russia content on u. s. t v. so it's perhaps no surprise when the prominent fox news has tucker carlson, offered an opinion going against the mainstream. it caused something of a sta, caleb, nothin expense in the never ending circus. that is american cable news. there's one thing that's pretty consistent ross, a bad natal. good. however, there is one notable exception. his name is tucker carlson. we don't on ukraine, so we can help the ukrainians. they're merely unfortunate ponce and all of this. we

arm ukraine so that we can punish russia. why? for stealing hillary clinton's coronation, where he sees it? this is an unjust war being waged as revenge for alleged russian meddling and u. s. presidential elections. he says, this isn't so much about protecting ukrainians as it is about hurting russia and that regime changes the goal. biden's words seem like pretty solid evidence for that. for god's sake, this man cannot remain power. let's remember that some of the main promoters of this theory that turned out not to be true and somehow russia got trump elected, have just rolled into key f 10. so is there 11? so i make to america in this in rain maker is tucker carlson. is just not impressed. liberals are furious that he dare be

skeptical of. ready liberal war hawks, tucker carlson as again parenting what the war criminals in the kremlin say biden should push you crane to surrender, reach a settlement rather than lose more lives fighting the russian invasion more. russia 1st propaganda from the america 1st crowd, yet again tucker carlson. tonight, blame in america for prudence. war when i was young to many on the left used to blame america 1st. now the right a is proudly the blame america, 1st team and tucker carlson, the east team captain happily in an american night of the nice, the whole generation of russian soldiers that survive this war will spend the rest of their lives haunted by their memories. the cries of the children, chicken hawks for russia like tucker carlson, have never seen anything but ivy league don't listen to them. so of course now tucker is being labeled as a traitor to the homeland and agent of russia. putin's puppet. but that's a bit hard to believe his show is doing pretty well rated is number 2 in all the

cable news. it's got 3390000 viewers a night. and it's doing well. and some interesting demographics, including youth, is shows or having an impact. here's what a member of congress said. my office is now getting calls from folks who say they watch tucker carlson and are upset that were not citing with russia and it's threats to invade ukraine and who want me to support rushes reasonable positions. carlson's message is being echoed by rand paul, as he asks questions about the biden administration and their policy decisions. the u. s, including the biden administration, insisted on beating the drums to admit ukraine to nato, knowing full well that ukraine was unlikely to ever join de chosen. it had already been 14 years since they were said they were going to become members. why was it so important? last fall, before this invasion, to continue agitating for ukraine's admission to nato and liberals are reacting to

rand paul the same way treason, mainstream u. s. media is pretty solidly locked down for war. the fact that one single voice speaking up and asking some tough questions is getting such a dramatic response from the public seems to indicate that there's something going on beneath the surface. while there are certainly plenty of americans that are buying the pentagon's talking points, it seems like there are also a large number of americans that are open to hearing the other forbidden side of the story. kayla marvin, archie, new york. well, that's where we sign up for now, but stay close as there's lots more coming up for moscow. this is i t international thanks for joining us. ah ah
