t. it's great to have you with us today for the global news updates on point of clear thanks for joining us. where we stop at the latest on the ukraine conflict, russian military forces have evacuated 50 civilians, including 11 children from the territory of the gulf. don't feel found to mario full. they were handed over to the united nations and the way it costs for temporary accommodation. it comes off to russia, opened new mandatory and corridors on thursday to allow civilians to leave the site . and the humanitarian mission for the area continues today. meanwhile, russian, a defense is reportedly shut down and ukrainian aircraft and the gun school public . the governor of the belgrade region said that wizard of the village near the ukrainian border which had been repeatedly shelled bobby ukrainian side were being evacuated to safety. and the u. s. will provide ukraine with another military, a package which will include $25000.00 shells and 3 counter battery stations, as well as electronic. we'll face systems and apartment block in berlin,

where reporters of the russian news agency we had another state lived, was attacked on friday with a window broken sap as arrived at the scene. after a suspicious can front of why it was also discovered in the vicinity. the workers have since returned to the building. well, let's get the details now from our cover sponge and it goes down off. thank you so much for joining us here in the studio. what do we actually know at this stage? well, absolutely not much is known, but what we do know is that the re and i was to journalists, the journalists of this russian news agency of a, this is, this was the building where they lived. and apparently an unknown culprit, they threw a something resembling a molotov cocktail, something incendiary. they threw it into the window of the building wherever you lived. and so it wasn't initially clear enough as to whether or not it was dangerous. maybe it was a rock, maybe it was something else, but then sappers arrived on scene and they discovered that apparently there was an

explosive device, probably something resembling an i e d. and well, an improvised explosive device, not like a mine or something. so this is what they discovered on site. and again, we do not know exactly what sort of explosion, what sort of explosive was used on the site. but what we do know again that several, several apartments were, were, were damaged by this, by this incident. and or this whole thing, it happened after a after group a report that basically targeted personally, these people targeted personally, russian journalists living there. so that report, it gave out the address and the location basically where they lived. and so this incident, it happened very shortly after that report and it said he sounds like it was a deliberate attempt. and as he said, the report was published in guest eagle. can anyone know where journalists to live,

just from a public report, will apparently so because before that and you know how, basically any russians since the beginning of the russian at our special operation in ukraine, any russian living in europe in the united states, they can't really feel safe because there's a massive deformation campaign and going on that. and a lot of people like a lot of russians, even if they don't have any direct connection to the rule in ukraine, and even if they don't suppose have a field, a tremendous pressure, they feel a tremendous pressure, both from the locals, from the authorities now and again, there's a campaign going on against them, so they don't feel safe. and here you have journalists working for a while state sponsored news agency, and they are being essentially docs. they're being essentially open. the said these are, these are the people they live here. and then you do whatever you want with the information that you have on your hands. so it can be quite dangerous and well,

the rush rushes, for example, you have russia today, a sort of are not assisted company, but a very friendly company. there are 2 deutschland, their accounts were frozen in the german banks, and again, there was a tremendous pressure applied on the be russian media, media service, people on the, all the people working there. so again, this information was just floated, it was just thrown out there in the public. and so you can see what sort of results this can be, could be yielded as a result of this, of this information campaign. certainly, i mean, this information or accusations of the information and accusing jonas of belonging to certain channels is one thing. but publishing their public accommodation details is another face to their home address. i mean, that really doesn't seem to be any justification for that article responding. goes on of thank you so much for joining us in the studio. well,

let's get the take all this from human and rights lawyer, daniel catholic. daniel, we have little that speculation right at this stage. the only fact that we do have is that it was only russians who lived in the building. there were no germans. does this make it a targeted attack? would certainly seem so it does seem so and it does seem to fit what's happening in many places. there is, may attack the new york city because he spoke rushed and he happened to be ukranian, but of course, people don't know the difference and they beat him up anyway. i mean, i still of the towards russian is at an extreme high right now. and it's quite disturbing. do you think that this potentially me was an individual attack or could one actually say that it is being spurred on from the sentiments that are being explained by the government and filtering down? yeah, i do think it so, i mean, you know,

the hostility shown towards russian right now by the west is unprecedented. i mean, there hasn't been this much hostility, even during soviet times. you know, the fact that athletes and musicians are being ban simply because they're russian you know that the e u has band r d r t is being grown off of youtube in the united states. there is a concerted effort to smear and to bill up by not just the russian government, but the russian people. and this is what happens when that happens. you know, this is a speech and a speech many times that leads date for actions. as you quickly say, r t and foot nick have been banned in germany. they've also been heavily sanctioned, in other states. do you expect a proper investigation into this attack from the german territories? i mean,

i would hope so. i would hope that they would do their job. i mean the people living there, i assume they have their proper papers, their, their legally, they have a right to be there and they should therefore have the protection of the german authority. so i would fully expect that they get that protection and what we action would you expect from the russian side? well, that's a good question. i mean, i think russia will have to ask germany about what's happening, whether they're providing proper security for russians living in their country. but also, i think they have to start pushing back on this paper. and of course, you mentioned, we're not talking about germany. i mentioned the united states in general, to what extent do you think anti russian sentiment is being fueled now in western societies? huge, again, being an american living in the united states. i see

a hateful idea being perpetrated on social media by the us government. again, i've never seen rush in hatred in my life. daniel cappella can lawyer. thank you very much for joining us here at t. thank you. thank you. evacuation efforts continue at the as obstacle steel plot. the russian military forces say 50 civilians, including 11 children, have been rescued from the territory. it comes off to new humanity and car doors have been open to allow civilians to leave the fight. a ceasefire has been imposed by russian troops at the plant. the united nations have been helping with the evacuation in joint efforts with the re costs the u. n. has helped me 500 civilians see the area. frontier fighters are joining russian forces in the city of space, nor where there's being heavy battles around the zaya chemical plant, ukrainian forces continue to hold their positions in the city. maria phenomena

reports now from the ground. these military tribes reign greenforest men to don, bus fraud, 240 volunteer fighters from russia. come here a dubious. no, because this is where one of the key battles is happening right now. russian forces are now in complete control of the town have to weeks of fears fighting, but the ukraine and military supported by foreign mercenaries and nationalist battalions still holds as strategic position in this. it is industrial zone. there's area chemical plant surrounded by concrete fortifications. it resembles a fortress and is hard to capture. the newcomers will support the joint forces of russia and the republic in this important fight. now both of you, my name is up t the commander of this unit and you are coming down to my command. the fighters come empty handed here at the chechen special forces unit headquarters. they'll be

given ammunition and weapons and assigned to their tasks. was your last day i want you to hear it doesn't matter to me what my smell to you are and what religion you are. the volunteers who came here to fight to represent different nationalities from across russia's vast geography. but why they came? that's a question to which they have similar answers, but supervision is thursday i came here on the grounds of conscience for the sake of the motherland and for the elderly people. my grandmother is also a war veterans and of course for people. first of all, the mission is critical. once those that are factory secured, it on pave the way to lisa chance and save it than he has. the last 2 strong holds of ukrainian forces in the region when they are secured to the republic will have its entire territory regained marine from ocean arte from rebels. now it is extremely important to confiscate russian assets and transfer them to ukraine . that's the view of the president of the european council,

who's called the seizure of private property, a matter of justice. in my opinion, this is a question of fairness, not only idea to freeze the assets, but confiscation to make this money available for ukraine in socrates, for their trust fund. and for the all these goals that i mentioned, especially for the rebuilding of the country. i recognise because by profession i used to be a lawyer that's on a legal level. it's not so simple. there are $27.00 legal systems across the european union. and in many you members states this needs a decision taken by a court in order to make it possible. it takes time, it's a difficult and long process. those statements come after half of us have gold and foreign exchange reserves, amounting to $300000000000.00, were frozen at the office of the one ukraine. russia has condemned to move, citing a violation of existing international laws. the criminal has came to was the pay for what accord the economic war being waged by the west. the european

union is not the 1st to consider transferring russian assets to ukraine. the u. s. congress earlier approved a bull that would allow for the use of confiscated resources from russians to apparently assist kid. washington has also previously seen funds belonging to iran and gun easton technology and business professor benjamin she. out from the paris school of business says many questions remain of the galaxy of the move. under the current law do neither stays careful, feed the proceeds of sanctions, violations, money cannot forfeit property used to facilitate such sanctions violations. so these proposals are into, is intended to close that gap um, but i see shows not the same as confiscation now, but the biden proposal is asking congress for, expand the authority to confiscate and, and liquidate, you know, freezing excess of private individuals is completely another level you'd reg d, even in america,

the america and civil liberties union has one and the legislation in the sense corvalle, the due process protections. as the targeted only court would have no recourse to challenge the confiscation fundamentally for every session or confiscation of a, we even really need to ask this fundamental question. what kind of crimes ah, ah, i have been violated by this individual. is he or she given the right to defend? and don't forget to well, he's still a fresh with what the u. s. has done to afghanistan for him, resource japanese, after this, eagle has deleted a video, showing civilians released from the as are still plan 10, which people claimed the ukranian army would not allow them to leave on its web page. the german daily published a notice saying the video has some quote in consistencies, but it did not mention specifically what faxed and the material were wrong. stressing that

a clarification of the 14 is underway. this is what one women in the, in the know removed matter in the now the move material had to say about the civilians at the plant. what do you have for sure? i have a question about why people were held in the city. the matlab just left the city and the people was questioned to ring. the ukrainian army was dead, which did not let ordinary people leave children, the elderly, the sick, one for independent journalist and author thomas looper says the move by the news. often it is highly questionable if propaganda. you see that the she got no us. i know that my read us right mail to the people that there were comments on the article. under this video, there should be good news that they were lying that they could have written. oh yeah, the video was, she was saying we opposite. she was playing as of, or we don't got the wrong information for i just stayed there nor say right. it's right, just a fault. but even they didn't do it. they're just hide the truth. they knew that they know that well they're like and they're just just don't telling it. they said,

oh yeah, some, well, we don't understand something went wrong. sorry. there's been another huge show support in pakistan for the aster, prime minister in mont con, thousands of people gathered in conn's home town, continuing. they protest against the common government, the honest a prime minister addressed the crowds once again repeating his claim that the common fishing was to quote, imposed by the united states. a huge new protest is planned in the pakistani capital, where around 2000000 people are expected to demand early elections. as senior member of cons, party claimed that the prime ministers removal from office was bought about of a concert fuel to allow the us to use military bases in pakistan. washington has repeatedly stressed its desire to work with islamabad in particular, in the areas of counter terrorism. and border security, we value our bilateral relationship. we want to continue to work together in areas

where we do have mutual interests with our pakistan partners that includes counterterrorism. that includes border security as well. the little analyst at 10 asked net dot beliefs many people in pakistan feel betrayed. what's happened. the majority of the pakistan who decided to follow the emitter to a former prime minister also by his son iran con, are the prime reason for this notion, is that the see iran con, as an honest leader who has been betrayed by the rules american elements and the boxes on the institutions and social media trends. so since foster the 3 weeks, you know, a completely, you know, shows that the drill was not privy to accept. the newly formed government in boxes and they would keep demonstrating their rule stream runs on your end to just report just repeatedly after the free. the only reason behind the state is that it is

a roster of food movement led by the public and for the leader in ron con, moving out to push it away. news outlets were flattered on friday with grim headlines, warning, advising interest rates and solving inflation in the country. the you k media shape, a pessimistic predictions on the economic outlook as the bank of england raised interest rates with concerns at the 13 you high will affect mortgage and loan rates for millions. families will apparently have to tighten a belt as it was station lose. many people took his social media to vent their frustrations. the conservatives appear to be a great deal more relaxed about 10 percent inflation than i am. rapid inflation rising interest rates, a looming recession and households feeling the squeeze. i ask again, where are the briggs dividends we were promised you are funding the russian ukranian war still, while we are applying tough sanctions, which will hit our economy. meanwhile, in germany of poll has revealed that only around 14 percent of germany,

industrial firms able to completely replace the sibling of energy supplies from russia. and bella was less than half can partially replace. they imports with another 14 percent saying it's not possible at all. many companies also affected indirectly because their own suppliers get their import from russia. george stanley from the global policy institute, think tank says that you commission lacks the power to push countries to cut the reliance on russia. was the local election day and a bar is johnson has disastrous the badly and it is of course, entirely in keeping with all other reasons the election. all of the candidates who are against sanctions, against getting involved in this war in ukraine are doing well. and all of the candidates who want greater involvements in ukraine are doing very badly. so i think there is

a definite message that is coming from the public. so countries are not going to destroy their own economies, or just happens to be more explicit about what he said, look, i mean, we're not going to release you clear bama gear and economy and other countries are going to say the same thing without just going to stop and freeze because of ukraine. so while they going through the motions, you represent how are you going to do it? how are you going to make the european stories? if you'll done this solve ation, they're not going to take it natural gas prices in the united states have more than doubled from the past decades average. but that's not putting a fuel as it seeks alternatives to russian energy. europe count rely from russia for 40 percent of its gas, but as the continent turns its back on moscow over its worn ukraine, it's ready to pay more to import american supplies to make a part of the shore full. but it's not just be extra cost,

that's an issue. fossil fuel expansion faces resistance of a climate concerns and invest a reluctance. nevertheless, president biden has promised that washington will hope it's your opinion allies meet the energy needs. were working with other nations like korea, japan cutter and others to support or effort to help the europe in allies threatened by russia, with gas blackmail, and their energy needs and other ways. aggression will not when threats will not win. this is just another reminder of the imperative for europe and the world to move more and more of our power needs to clean energy, international petroleum, economist john foster fears that you could be shooting itself in the foot, but turning away from russian energy. the increase in natural gas prices in the united states and canada will affect the economy into other countries adversely. and the same goes for even more. so, for western europe, europe where the prices,

the prices has been much greater. europe is shooting itself in the foot. i think the, the dramatic expansion in the production of cheryl gatson, united states is literally as leveled off. so do i think that europe could cope without russia? i guess i think the answer is no. it, it won't be able to, it will be able to impart by bringing and gas from the united states as it's currently drilling and trying to expand whether or not with success in n j from the united states at higher cost. i guess that can be bought from russia, so there's a cost to the european economy for longer and longer term deals. there's continued division in the u concerning brussels proposed new round of sanctions that target russian energy. the younger prime minister has compared the blocks planned total ban on russian oil to

a nuclear bomb for the central european nature. nation. as a doctoral brussels oil embargo proposal is equivalent to a nuclear bomb being dropped on the hungarian economy. so it is unacceptable. victor albany, making that really strong statement that that would be tantamount to a nuclear bomb going off on his country's economy. he says hungry is willing to be flexible, but the proposals of an extension by one or one and a half years by the commission just fall short of that. he has questioned also with the feasibility of spending so much money on getting this infrastructure in place for these new resources of energy. when the results. ringback be seen for at least 4 to 5 years. there is this boundless confidence from ursula vaughan delay. now. she outlined the package on wednesday in front of the european parliament saying that it would include a complete embargo on importing russian oil by the end of this year. it would be

swift, 3 more russian banks. it would also add, disallow accountancy firms and p, all firms here in the european union, from doing business with any russian firms in the future. and it lists a number of new personalities to be put on the sanctions list. she says that this will be approved by the weekend. i am confident that we will get this package on track. if it takes a day longer, it takes a day longer, but we are moving in the right direction. so the commission seems to be very confident that he can pass these new sanctions, but they may have to, we write them a little or even war to them down before that they can get countries like hungary on board. let's not forget that sanctions packages have to be approved by all 27 member states. this has to be a unanimous vote, and there is already a sense that if this package is not approved by the end of friday,

at least through the weekend, that yoseph burrell, the foreign policy chief, is already ready to call them extraordinary meeting a foreign ministers. next week the price of diesel has hit an all time high in the united states, as the country continues to struggle with fuel distribution and the continuing conflict in ukraine. the average price of diesel is approaching $6.00 a gallon. it was listening full over the past year. the fuel is crucial to the u. s . economy, as a power is big trucks, locomotives, and ships that deliver the vast majority of goods to market. and while the biden administration is trying to shift the blame for patient levels to the russian president, wine, crocker told us it's hard to 40 by into that narrative. we blame things on other countries like russia. i believe that personally comes right straight down to, to the administration, being the reason for the price art,

they seem to be very keen on letting it go as high as possible. it affects all drivers as well as myself. so where the, where it's hurting the trucking industry is they're the rates don't reflect it. and so that means that there's not profit to be able to pull load. and so you're seeing a truck drivers are just very independent operators, just saying i can't make any money. i'm just going to park my truck until this is solved. we some polls have indicated americans have the worst expectations about the u. s. economy in decades. and think that joe biden based responsibility for the rising fuel prices as inflation was on the increase well before the ukraine conflict, my colleague unit o'neill discussed how the common fuel prices as affected to get with farming industry, with an indent men. sarah, owners of a 3rd generation family business in california with the price of fuel being so expensive, everyone's going to pay more for everything. no food polling doesn't matter what it . ready is it's all gonna,

it cost us more to put in our tractor cost more for to produce on the truck to drive the truck, to whereever it's going on. what kind of response to the looming crisis have you seen from the government, be it local in california or federal on what response do you expect? well, i'm not seeing any response. yeah. obviously are aware by saying, oh yes, we understand there's inflation. it almost feels as if they're, they're doing it on purpose because they don't seem to be bothered in the least. the entire country is suffering greatly because of it and it's become the economy is the time everybody is. number one concern dan joe biden believes the so called putin pricing is wholly responsible for the situation that rising fuel and living cost. what, what do you say to that when he say something that's ridiculous and everybody knows it. i mean, they shut down the petroleum industry. first thing they did when they got into office,

they're gonna oaks. this isn't our fault to see more all while it is your fault and you're hurting everybody in america. and everybody in america knows that today the vitamin got elected, our gas prices in california, one of the dollar cell, it's like we, we, everybody knows where it's coming from, kicking in the confederation on the challenging economic situation. the country. why do you think many in washington are so focused on the situation in ukraine instead of solving domestic problems? why is up front and center? i think to, to pull attention away from what's happening to domestically, the more, the more that they can focus on other things it's, it's kind of like, don't, don't pay attention to what's happening behind the curtain. they want us to focus on other things. so it's, it's almost like they're doing every single thing that they can to keep everybody's attention off of what's happening domestically with our, with our prices in, with what's happening in our borders. the u. s. has cut energy imports from here, from russia. story that we've been fallen quite

a lot. diesel stockpiles have hit record lows. do you think the government can make up the deficit? the stock price is rising further. they could, if they wanted to. they don't want, you know, they're happy at this. they think we need to cut more get away from fuel under percent. go clean energy. well, that's great. but it, the technology isn't there. then the meantime, while you're developing that technology need to keep people healthy, keep the economy healthy. everything else are you optimistic at all? things will improve, you wanna change things, people wake up and say, you know, no more of this, like that guy screaming out the window at it. and i don't, i'm not going to take it any more. people are making 20 percent more right now than they were 3 years and they're worse off. that's how bad things are not just here, probably across the country. well, that brings us to the end of this bulletin. you can always catch us on our team to come. i'll be back with you at the top of the hour. thanks so much for joining us.

ah, ah ah . mm. ah, ah! with hello and welcome across the top where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, american assistance ukraine continues to pace so much so it begs the following
