ah mm. with the russian military open is a 3 day humanitarian corridor for civilians. not a single plant in them are useful. we hear from those evacuated from the site in the port city about the nightmare that helped to ensure so grateful. we have no way to express our gratitude. we can breathe air, fresh air or somebody fall with tim on sunday. it was scheduled to go out. by that time, will we just hoping also ahead on the program that you use to health diploma. you sent burrell safe. cutting gas supplies from russia is out of the question, but that doesn't stop the blocks commission from proposing a new round of sanctions on russian energy. b. u. s. is expected to pass

a bill which could leave opec members open to law suits. it was announced immediately after the head of the cartels said there was no current possibility to replace russian oil. when there does this there. okay. fire, they are cold killers. and when these buildings are destroy them, garza this self difference, that palestinians deserve peace and prosperity. and america's envoy to the un in seemingly caught off guard by a question on double standards from washington on the israel palestinian with wherever you're capturing the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow on to the news randazzo north t. my name is sheila neal, you. she military and corridors have been open to allow civilians to leave the hours off stell steel plants in maria pull. the russian military house also

announced a 3 day pause in hostilities. russian, i'm been yet. republic forces will cease all military activity, while the humanitarian roots are in operation with trips also removed to a safe distance. earlier, more than a 100 local civilians left the phone. we heard from these, evacuated to a ton and done yet to fight what they've had to the jury. which in stars number of numbers that it was very scary. the follow a tim on some desire. he was scared to go out. by that time we're, we're just hoping any slightest opportunity and you need to leave the guest there might be not to not a chance. so the decision was made tried to wait for still come to had that we're so grateful we have no words to express our gratitude. my whole family is a life and mobile connections have already appeared here to we'll ready got news about our relatives who can breeze air, fresh air. he can walk on the ground on the grass. it's

a dungeon. they're almost like 3 floors down below to us. it was shaking, we were afraid that the ceiling would fall fusion. i think everyone is glad that everything is avo. silence has come. i walked with the kids to day when we entered 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. a just a point i had attempts to evacuated civilians from the factory had been made earlier with moscow stating the temporary cease fires were repeatedly violated by ukrainian forces. officials from they done yet. people's republic also say key abuse. this cease fires to re supply soldiers in the plant with weapons in ralph russian territory came under fire this morning with local authorities claiming ukrainian forces shell. the time in the belgrade region located just a few kilometers from the border. 5 houses were damaged with one entirely

destroyed new injuries were reported. among that time, the citizens power lines are also said to have been damaged. belgrade governor said old holmes, hit by shilling will be rebuilt. e u foreign policy chief usa piero, her said shutting off europe to russian gas is not under discussion. the energy source on like oil, he said will be impossible to replace it. and she said, it is a good medical, but the oil market is global and their alternative procures. there may be moments of transition in some turbulence in prices, but there is no serious problem of saying, oh, if i run out of russian oil, i will raise the price a lot because they will not be oil. this is not the case with oil with gas, it's a different problem. gas to begin with is not only an energy product system pretty much. it is not only used to make a gas is a raw material in the petrochemical industry and the petrochemical industry in europe. and in particular, in germany weighs

a lot. gas cannot be replaced by anything other than gas gas from russia or somewhere else, but it must be gas. and that is why we're especially careful about gas because their entire sectors of the european petrochemical industry that cannot function if it does not have gas. that topic is not on the discussion at the moment. we have been discussing a lot this week and i was in latin america, but i was on the phone all the time and the discussions did not include gas less cross live, nor touring. europe correspondence, charlotte dubin, c. charlotte, pretty definitive words from the use of the month and maybe some what i'm expected to yes, this is really quite a difficult time for the you over the past few months. we have heard repeatedly from politicians such as yoseph, burrell, ursula vaughan de leon, and others saying, you know, the must end it's dependency when it comes to russian energy. and that has previously been oil, gas and coal. and now here we have the blocks foreign policy chief saying that

actually a gas is not on the table saying that, you know, yes, we've been talking about diversification for the future. but obviously, that's not something that can be done immediately, and therefore gas supplies will be continued to be something that you will look to buy from russia for the moment. he mentioned that it's not just something that's used to heat homes. it's also a room material that's used in the petrochemical industry. so it's something that they consider to be outside the energy bands, at least for now. and there's also a question as to whether the e will have much of a choice in that matter. given that we know that the deadline is fast approaching as to when it will have to decide if it's going to a seed to what the kremlin is austin. that is for all gas payments to be made in groups from now on. we've already seen in the last week what happens to countries that decide that they won't do that. poland and bulgaria had their supplies cut off

after they refused to pay for that gas supply in rubles, and other countries across the you are trying to make that decision. now, there's been this conflicting advice from the european commission in some documents . it's saying it would be possible to do this with an exchange mechanism in place. in other documents, it says no, if you paying roubles, this will breach the sanctions at the moment. so difficult times ahead for the you to make that decision oversee when it feels there is the potential for russia to turn off those taps anyway. and essentially that decision off the table. and this comes at a time when you need is currently debating a 6 round of sanctions. we heard from lavonne delay and just early this week that that would include an outright ban. and by the end of this year on oil. however, this is something that the 27 nations would have to agree on,

and we already know that that is a red line for some countries we've heard from hungry in the last day. that said, absolutely no, it will not look at agreeing to a ban on russian oil. we've also heard other countries such as bulgaria, slovakia, and the check public saying we would agree to it. but we would like to have 3 or 4 years potentially, to be able to wind down our supplies and find new suppliers. difficult times with the e. u, as it tries to determine what it's going to do with the 600 sanctions. and what everybody is willing to accept in terms of the pain that that could also than inflict on the you. and while it's making those difficult decisions, it's getting pressure from ukraine. we heard from ukraine in foreign minister saying that any country that doesn't immediately accept this hold on oil is essentially somebody who is complicit in any war crimes that are being committed in ukraine. that the moment we've also heard from the case,

foreign secretary of the last few days that anybody doing business with preaching is morally bankrupt. so even if this fixed sanction package is approved, even if oil becomes banned by the end of the year, there is still a question as to whether that complicity in war coins and being morally bankrupt, continues to apply to the e. u. if it decides that it wants to continue having russian gas, i think question, charlotte, thanks very much for taking us through that are to charlotte to ben sky. well, let's keep the economic theme energy thing going the, their senate is expected to possible if could leave opec members, partners open to legal action that would allow federal court to enforce judicial anti trust decisions against them. let's break that down. pretty dense. both opec member states and oil companies are currently protected by sovereign immunity laws . now the bill in question is apparently intended to protect us consumers and

businesses from supply cuts and global oil price hikes by opec, which america is not a member all? well, the proposed bill comes a maid's growing tensions between washington and oil. cartel members after peck at refuse to increase production in march. the grouping recently claim there was, quote, no spar capacity to replace sanction russian or suppliers. professor edmond gary told me the changes on the oil markets will lead to an expansion of american. she'll or lex port, which could exacerbate existing fuel problems within the country itself. one hand american oil, probably there would be more oil be sold outside the united states than before. nevertheless, it's not as easy as some people think. for example, trail oil. it's much more complicated, even though it's not a problem. you can throw money at that's going to take time to go through to,

to be able to, to increase effectively enlarged. so, and bang and large the capacity of an export of shale oil. so that means that it's going to be limited and also it's beginning to affect prices, as we already have seen over the past month. and tonight it sits, all prices are rising, this is going to have negative consequences on bad ministration. that's tracing a lot of difficulties with the mid term election coming up in november, especially because of the rise and lation, the increasing rise. some prices of food, of gas and of other commodities. mozambique has ruled out the possibility of giving up on coal mining in order to meet you in mission gold by 2030. the government claims the much vaunted global targets do not take into consideration realities in the african nation. coal remains one of the biggest main exports and foreign currency sources on to russian sanctions. unlimited supplies of alternative energy

sources. how cause coal prices to more than double since the beginning of the year? demand has been on the rise since the break of the conflict in ukraine, florence, k. freeman, political and economic melissa and african, the 1st a such western policies border and racism as they hinder the economic development of the continent. it's actually very harsh, discriminatory policy against african which is the company which has the largest number of people, poverty and the greatest number of people without access to electricity about 6000000. basically what they're saying is, and this is what is behind a good portion of the climate change movement, isn't anti industrialization, the west and financial institutions and government with you and the i math, they're saying we're not going to allow, we're going to cut off funding. so you can't use your own natural resources to

develop your own economy. and with our energy, africa is in terrible shape and therefore it is discriminatory, immoral, and bordering on racism. not to allow african countries to human resources for the people. there's something else to bring you to day. a newly released report by a local rights group has alleged that israel is holding some 600 palestinians with our charge or trial, the highest number since 2016. it comes as america's envoy to the un appeared to be caught off guard by a question on double standards in the conflict. taking the view away from ukraine to polish finance occupied sort of this same thing because this is done, the depaula finance. but when there is this there occupiers, they are called terrorists. and when these buildings are destroyed, them garza, this self difference. so there is not the standard that the word can see. we have

to be strong and our support and our efforts to defend the rights of the israelis to defend themselves against rocket attacks, from hamas and other terrorist groups. but we also are clear that palestinians deserve peace and prosperity the backdrop. today, king flashes which are relative in jerusalem last month and which over $100.00 palestinians are injured. the israel palestine conflict has been ongoing for over 70 years with a series of conflicts taking place over ownership of land in the region. israel said it is protecting itself from palestinian attacks while ards in palestine are demanding the right to create their own states. political analyst. hey sir. well, hasan believes it's not the issue which the international community has to get to grips with. we are seeing that douglas times are forms are what we call

the international community, especially the united states of america and european union. they are looking to that and tourists are ignoring the dead dignity and interests all the people weak people as a blessing. people and i give the israeli occupation that i to defend her ham silva from the rockets of bellis. you know, people, the ignored that policy of beeble is under a co buying occupation. and since more than 7 in the kids and no one in the world, especially at a 100 states and europe, genuinely on and supporting the policy that people out as time goes signing off the bus in and people and to get their lives to build their estates. oh, you see today what is happening and jerusalem, we are calling for these 2 countries in the world to look at

the scene and struggle as they are. they're dealing with the canadian people. a cemetery in the oldest city in the netherlands has been vandalized on wednesday graves and monuments of the military memorial in ny ma'am, where defied wit, swastikas, and ukrainian flags police of launched on investigation. the military cemetery holds the graves of more than a 1000 soldiers who died during world war 2 most belong to british soldiers. however, many graves hold trips from other countries of the british commonwealth. the moore of the city called the incident disgusted. the bulgarian capital residents defended a monument to soviets. soldiers from acted as to plan to cover up the statue with ukrainian flags pro here active left the area without reaching them on the china is reportedly

held on emergency meeting in order to figure out ways to protect its trillion dollar for an offense from possible us lead sanctions in order and officer for the same fate as russia over the conflict in ukraine. the meeting was apparently held with officials from foreign, non local banks. beijing is worried allegedly that russia style penalties could be introduced against that in the event of a regional military conflict or other prices. china currently has an estimate of 3 trillion us dollars in its foreign reserve, just to put it into context. the west has frozen more than $300000000000.00 of rushes, foreign assets after moscow's offensive. and ukraine began in off research by the international monetary fund shows a recent decline in the sure of the u. s. dollar being held in central banks

worldwide. it also find the other major currencies or the british pound japanese the end the year are not making up the loss of the dollars. sure, here's a quick recap. all the nations where the dollar is losing, it's all somewhat ah, is, who's that just to return to the story a little bit earlier. the director of the geo political economy research group rod he could, desiree speculated on the kind of actions china could take to protect its assets, appro 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 their, including more countries in it, more financial institutions. and it's of that can go on china. as you pointed out in one of your reports, there is a diversification of foreign exchange reserves. shyly, 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 would 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. and a 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 in the more of 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 other end. mm hm. well, the conflict in ukraine has been a major challenge for the media with fake news stories cropping up similarly on a daily basis on russia and the west locked in the bottle to bon each other sites. so the at publication by the reporters about borders, organization of its world press, freedom and excellence raised more than a few eyebrows after it put some baltic states in the top 10, estonia is ranked number 4 even though the country has blocked russian media since 2012 lithuania is 9th in the index, but again,

access to russian media sources is limited. we talked to the chief editor of both news, a russian language, news agency who shared his views on press freedom in the region. the letter to swa boards a fool that 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 rating organizations. the writing now looks like a mock of marriage, not in freedom of speech, but on the country in censorship. in lithuania, our colleagues had to leave the country under the threat of criminal investigation or being under investigation. our friends from sputnik estonia had the editorial staff dispersed, 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. with

a situation with the russian media in the west has become increasingly difficult in march 2020 to a complete bound on the worth of russian state median. the was introduced in response to the conflict covering among others are ti sputnik on their subsidiaries . again, both news as chief editor fears were censorship in western countries as having dorsey dillard's. i need, wait, you please can russia is not even close to the scale of censorship, not only in baltic states, it's total there, but also in western europe, france or u. k. they shy at nothing, they don't care about formal procedures any more. 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. on a similar theme has the u. s. 6, the come back, what it calls disinformation about america's most sensitive topics. right now russia and migration, some senators, claim, washington itself is the main source of spreading fake news. do you know the greatest propagate or of this information in the history? the world is, the u. s. government, are you familiar with mcnamara on the pentagon diapers? are you familiar with george w bush and the weapons of mass destruction?

i mean, think of all the debates in disputes we've had over the last 50 years in our country . we work them out by debating them. we don't work them out by the government being the arbiter. i don't know. i got a record rails. i want, you'd have nothing to do as beach. you think the american people are so stupid, they need you to tell them what the truth is. the biden administration nines, the creation of the so called disinformation governance board earlier this month, than the spark, much criticism with some opponents making comparisons to the orwellian ministry of truth. washington however, sees the new structure won't infringe upon free speech. well, the frank conflict has prompted the deluge of anti russian content in american media was perhaps no surprise when prominent fox news host, tucker carlson, offered an opinion challenging the mainstream view on it called something of a stir. my pin picked up the story 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 seemed like pretty solid evidence for that. for god's sake, this man could not remain pall. let's remember, but 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 kiev. and so is there 11 killed like naming from america in this in your brain. hickory's?

tucker carlson is just not impressed liberals are furious that he dare be skeptical of. ready the liberal, warhawks, 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 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. hooton's pop it but that's a bit hard to. ready believe is show is doing pretty well rated is number 2 and all of cable news. it's got 3390000 viewers a night. and it's doing well in some interesting demographics, including youth shows or having an impact years what a member of congress said. my office is now getting calls from folks who say they watch tucker carlson and are upset that we're not citing with russia and it's threats to invade ukraine and who want me to support rushes, reasonable positions. mainstream us 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. caleb martin, r g, new york. tchaikovsky, tolstoy, push, can you name it? and russian historical grades are being counselled from school holes to carnegie, hold russian athletes to are being barred from the olympics and world cup. so what is the end point in this great embargo? we talk about question next, blue. ah, ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

ah ah ah, for the 1st time in history and entire countries, culture has been trashed with a very modern weapon. cancel culture, daily data. wonder global sheffield malice who bought in when william frog yet just me sitting there. i know it would preclude the phrase now,

particularly refers to counseling russian culture yet them know what secret of you all those go because it has yet to when you're my folks you're 20 will be your there is charlie mozilla that all of them was from december h haven't m, e, des moines reward. russia has created over the past 1200 years, has now question partially condemned, reviled and reject it to sort of like, and you'll see that it's a but sunny at the will of brazil. there's a lot closer on a hold paunchy, any time i guess in a wooden shovel is a thanks all spheres of life, including those in which russia had played leading cultural roles. art music and sports christian again in amazon requested to sell them a full truck with a 1000000 nickerson, the renewal for record seminar, bridget, l. m. an invalid essentially means the show can't and won't go on show you put ricci.
