[000:00:00;00] with dozens of civilians are taken to safety from a steel plant in marty you, bold nationalists battalions continue to hold on to out that this in, let's say around 400 more people were evacuated from the city over. and i also had attempted to terrorist attack that's on moscow, as described, an incident in berlin or an explosive device was find in an apartment building used so late by russian journalists, a reporter in the complex described with it. yeah, just go 1st, i thought it was some kind of big bomb. something used to intimidate our workers, but it was hidden by police officers were not skeptical at all. given all the

recent incidents happening in berlin with russian building, a made yet another round of anti russia sanctions. the u. s. is gearing up to bottom. you rhenium imports from the country. but cub the move actually hurts the american economy more than it does russia? that's all i had this hour with wherever you're capturing the program from today. welcome to moscow on to the global news lined up on our t. let's get to our top story. we begin with the latest on the ukraine conflict, where russia has reportedly struck a facility in odessa, but using weapons for the ukrainian military. this on verified video is said to show the aftermath of a strike. according to media reports, the factory in the southern city, which was, it had been used to repair a combat. drones use the carts taxed by ukrainian forces. okay, let's turn to

a that has become the main bustle. drop in the conflict. 50 civilians are being evacuated from the age of style. steel plant in martyr. you poll this saturday according to don. yes, republic authorities. earlier official said, almost $400.00 people were taken to safety from the city itself. overnight. it comes after news humanitarian corridors were open to a lot of civilian evacuations, to take place a ceasefire agreed by russian forces been in place of the factory for some days. well, i'm example of how the media has been covering that stunned off german news outlet . there speak of how's deleted a video showing civilians released from the steel plant. in the footage people claimed ukrainian battalions wouldn't allow them to me these reports. but i have a question about why people were held in the city the mainland to love the city. and the people was questioned to ring. ukrainian army was that which did not last

old and the people leave children. the elderly chick on its web page, the german daily published a notice saying the video has some quote inconsistencies, but did not mention specifically what the facts in the material were wrong. there spiegel out, another clarification of the footages underway, independent journalists, thomas rooper essays, the german news outlet cannot fool its readers. if stop again the you see the, the, she got no us. i know that my read us right mails to the people that there were comments on the article under this video. this people knew that they were lying that they could have written. oh yeah, the video was the she was saying the opposite. she was playing as of or we don't got the wrong information for reuters. is there more say right? it's just a fault. but even they didn't do it. they're just hide the truth then you they know that well, they're like and they just just don't telling us that. sure. oh yeah. some will. we

don't understand something went wrong. sorry. a burly in apartment building housing, russian journalists and their families was attacked on friday after a window in the complex was broken. a suspicious object full of wires, was discovered. a bomb disposal unit arrived at the scene to examine the suspected improvised explosive device. this is what moscow was diplomatic mission in germany had to say about the incident. the russian embassy does not exclude that this outrageous act could be directly related to the atmosphere of persecution, of russian state media in germany, which continued to be accused of spreading disinformation and copper. candor, information and photos revealing the addresses of russian journalists and their families who continue to face threats have been posted on social media and published in leading german media outlets. will the head of the russian state news, bronson, berlin, where they're suspected i. e. d was fun, said he initially thought the device wasn't real. is not ya yet? yes, we go,

i'll do more stuff. first. i thought it was some kind of sake bomb. something used to intimidate our workers, but it was hidden list if it's intended to friday, it should be somewhere in st. you. but it was placed right near the basement window or we called the police. they shut off the area and we realized the situation was serious with neville. this lease officers were not skeptical in all, even all the recent incidents happening in berlin with russian buildings near. they say they understand why it's happening. there are lots of refugees in berlin because of the military operation in crane and so, so we don't know who exactly placed the bomb, but when he could be craniums for some german leftist groups whose members were caught near are building, taking photos. the investigation is still ongoing to show you pretty well. first and foremost, all these journalists who were living there right now, they're back home and apparently they're safe. but there was a rather unpleasant incident that while they had to go through and at 1st, what happened an unknown individual through a bottle breaking one of the windows. and initially it wasn't really clay. what was that? was that an attempt to attack with a most of cocktail,

or was it just the stray bottle of some drunk may be picked up off the street, but then when i more would blue enforcement arrived, they'd discovered an interesting device, an unknown device, which later turned out to be well explosive pro, probably an i e d. so this is what they discovered in the apartment all these wires . and again, as you mentioned, they discovered that it was armed with something with something explosive. so again, it is not clear as to who put it there, it is not clear who the culprit is. it is not even clear as to what sort of an a explosive substance was used there. but again, this is, this is very, this is very concerning because this building there, it's a building. there was a specific allocative to house brush and journalists both with brian of a c. and for example, are a head of the sputnik germany. sputnik being and other russian news agency and

a big radio like network worldwide network. so it does look like this building was specifically targeted because it only housed again russian, john less, nobody else lived there. so it was allocated for those purposes. and given the fact that shortly before this incident, shortly before this attack, a report report as of the of the german spiegel journal spiegel magazine, a kinds of docs, people. they released a report published a report saying that this is where russian propagandists live. and again, there's no connection, there's no direct connection that can be, you know, established between the 2 incidents. but again, this is very concerning. concerning that anyone can ascertain, way reporters live from this report will absolutely. and given that no russian citizen, let alone journalist, especially working for a state funded news agency,

no one can feel safe in europe right now when it comes to a being a russian citizen, russian local. so there has been a tremendous pressure. 1 applied to russian media work as well across europe in germany as well. for example, we have a sister channel, i mean c team to national has assisted channel r t deutschland and from the very get go, journalists and the very well entity was precious by the german government. they were taken off of the press service argues that was done illegally, even the r t journalists, deutschland journalists, their bank accounts were frozen. so like there was a tremendous pressure applied all ready and now like other russian, based in russia. you know, russian journalists getting flack for essentially just working for moscow based outlets. so this is very concerning, especially if the german police managers to establish a while

a significant link between the attack and the fact that they had been docs. igor alluded to its far from the 1st incident of hostility towards russian since the start of moscow's military operation, with some russian national down there, property occurring in europe. and the u. s. the ostracize ation has affected the country, sports science and culture. with many ordinary non political families being targeted, we got reaction to events from journalist daniel as our human rights lawyer done colic. he does seem to fit what's happening in many places. there is many attacked in new york city because he spoke russian. he happened to be ukranian, but of course people don't know the difference and they beat him up anyway. i mean, still the towards russians is add an extreme high right now.

and it's quite disturbing. there is a concerted effort to smear and to vilify, not just the russian government, but the russian people. and this is what happens when that happens. you know, this is a speech and speech many times that leads to hateful actions. obviously, a, a violent alter ride is growing bolder and its activities due to this war. and it's going to be creating a major emergency in europe. and that's the problem the europeans will have to deal with. but that requires dealing with some of the very grave contradictions that are raised by this war. ok to another, over a headlines today, a new round of anti russia sanctions could include a ban on uranium in ports entering the us. the element is used to generate power in nuclear plants. that was our to kill up and report some of question whether such

a move could end up hurting the buyer as much if not more than the seller. over the past few months, u. s. energy policy has been very clear about the main goal, cut off russia, no more. russian oil no more russian gas, but the united states is pretty dependent on russia for another energy source, uranium nuclear power plants across america depend on russia for uranium, but not much longer. the u. s. energy secretary says that is coming to an end. we should not be sending any money to russia for any american energy or for any other reason. what. what exactly does this mean? the amount of uranium coming into the united states from russia is quite significant. more than 90 percent of the uranium that fuels us power plants is imported and russia is the 3rd largest supplier in 2021. russian imports cost almost $1000000000.00. now the united states does have domestic uranium production . however, setting up a domestic uranium supplies a process that can take years,

this is not something you can do overnight. and critics are worried about the environmental impact when it comes to getting this vital element in nuclear power. the russian state run corporation risotto seems to be the best option. the us cannot develop a commercial capability to compete against roosevelt on while we depend on foreign uranium today only rosa tillman. the energy department are capable of producing high r, say low enriched uranium. 20 percent of us electricity comes from nuclear power plants at this point. power grids across america are already fragile. the electrical grid of texas collapsed last winter, leaving families in the cold, causing a crisis. so now it seems that in the name of hurting russia, joe biden is willing to do even more damage to the u. s. economy. merican families can now expect that in addition to the rising cost of food and the rising cost of gas, their electricity bills will also be getting higher and higher. taylor bob and artsy,

new york plus get her thoughts and all vance with international policy. analysts sired mohammed ali, you're very welcome. we'll get to your reading them in just a moment, sy, it but the overall picture 1st. how dependent or otherwise is the u. s. on russian energy sources? thank you for having me and selecting this topic. it's a very important issue and it has 4 dimensions. there's a political dimension as your report, just mention, there's an economic dimension. there's a technological dimension. and also an environmental dimension. us is one of the biggest producers and consumers of energy, perhaps almost one 4th of the world production and 20 percent of the u. s. energy produced from nuclear sources. a u. s. has almost 93 power reactors which

produce almost 95000 megawatts of electricity. and as your report rightly pointed out, it is heavily dependent on external nuclear fuel and almost 47 percent of the nuclear fuel gums from russia. isaac is non and was biggest on and involving geo politics to affect the growing energy demand. i don't think will be very helpful. neither for the us own nuclear industry. and also consistent with the environment changes and climate change and environment friendly policies that the u. s. in its own interest expects to pursue in future. do you think there are for the u. s. has equipped to give up on russian uranium given it has as you mentioned,

already cut it's imports of natural gas and oil. i think there are 3 aspect sir. let me 1st to take care of the environmental aspect. the badass treaty richer, you was spearheaded goals for, you know, using those sources of energy which are climate and environment friendly. and nuclear industry in the u. s. has a great interest in contributing to a greater share of, of clean energy, which also has a higher availability factor. and this is why does this jewel political approach of the biden administration to put pressure on ma school is not compatible with the industrial interests of the nuclear industry. and

also because it is very important that her, the international prices obviously are determined in terms of the supply and demand factors. and even if they didn't, institution decides to reduce a dependence on moscow. it will not be practical for technical reasons because us currently does not have enough enrichment facility and capacity to immediately produce from domestic sources and enrich uranium sufficient to meet its own demand. so technically, it will not be possible to immediately, to use this dependence on russian and other sources. what consequences will such a decision have for american industry? i think there will be a several consequences. one of course,

is the geopolitical dimension, which seems to be the major consideration for washington. but it will have economic cost. it will have industrial cost. it will have environmental cost and it will have, you know, implications for us on nuclear industry. and in order for the us to meet it, spanish treaty commitments, it's climate change related goals. it needs to maintain a healthy share of the nuclear for production in its national energy mix, which is almost 20 percent. and they're almost 90 t a reactors. and the us expects to add 2 more reactors to its nuclear power generation infrastructure. and if u. s expects to replace the russian nuclear fuel than

it may not be possible immediately for other suppliers to fill this gap. also because of the technological reason. because russia are wides enriched uranium to the u. s. directors and u. s. does not have enough capacity at the moment and didn't actually who immediately produce that type of fuel that is reactors required. and also the other. 6 suppliers like australia, like canada, also provide nuclear fuel. they do not have a enrichment facilities like russia and carson gus, non. so this is very important that for technological reasons, it will not be possible for us to immediately meet the demands of enrich uranium fuel or russia has been providing for almost 20 years now. very interesting, very enlightening. thank you very much for coming in the program and sharing your

expertise on all that side mohammed ali international policy on the list. the natural gas prices in the us by the way. they've more than doubled from the previous 10 cade's average, but that's not putting off europe as it seeks alternatives to russian energy to europe currently relies on russia for 40 percent of its gas. but as the continent turns its back on my school over the conflict in ukraine, it's ready to pay much more to import american supplies to make up part of the shortfall. it's not just the extra cost that's an issue. fossil fuel expansion, faces resistance over climate concerns and investor reluctance. nevertheless, president biden has promised that washington will help in europe and allies meet their energy needs. we're working with other nations like korea, japan cutter and others to support or effort to help the europe and 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 on the imperative for europe and the world to move more and more of our power needs to clean energy. what global oil economists, john foster affairs, europe, could be shooting itself in the thought by turning away from russian energy 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, for europe, where the price is, the price is being much greater. europe is shooting itself of 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, as it's currently drilling and trying to expand whether or not with success in l n . j, from the united states at higher cost. the guess that can be bought from russia. so there's a cost to the european economy, belonged in longer term deals. the number of people killed in a hotel explosion than the cuban capital has reportedly reached 25. the incident happened on friday with a gas leak, named as a potential cause of the blast. the 5 star hotel had been closed. the tourists with renovation happening at the time of the exclusion emergency services remain out

sites. it's unclear whether more victims may be trumped. under the debrief though, as billionaire long must prepared to take charge of one of the most influential tech companies in the world, he's already pledged to restore free speech on twitter. some advocacy groups are not worried about in their words. democracy on the platform is in danger. calling on the biggest brands in the u. s. to threaten an advertising boy called s mosques, governance results and changes to the social networks. content policy, racial blevins has been taking a closer look is no stranger to criticism, but his $44000000000.00 purchase of twitter and maybe one of his most controversial moves yet, at least according in the mainstream media talking has in follow billionaires who are speaking out about his new acquisition, that lists includes activist groups such as media matters for america. black lives matter and women's march who sent a joint letter to twitters top advertisers, calling on them to withdraw their support from the company under mosques management,

which at risk becoming a cesspool of misinformation with your brand attached, polluting information ecosystem in a time where trust in institutions and news media is already an all time low we call on you to demand mosque uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety. and to pull your advertising spending from twitter. if and not in response, must pointed out that these big groups wouldn't exist without big money to funds these organizations that want to control your access to information. let's investigate. what does an investigation show? well, the money behind many of the 26 n g o is an activist group to sign that letter has come from george soros and is open society foundation, as well as top democratic party donors and even former hillary clinton and brock obama staffers. oh, and bill gates you fell way behind, much in the world's richest man. rankings is now speaking out, saying he's concerned about plans for twitter to allow for speech. and how does he

feel about something that says vaccines kill people or? you know, that bill gates was tracking people, is that one of the things you think should be spent so, and it's not just individuals. the mainstream media is also doing is part with a recent article for the new york times, arguing that mass grew up in a bubble of white privilege in south africa, where he saw the dangers of unchecked speech. the apartheid system created a distinction between the white people, specifically between those who spoke africans and bells, who spoke english like mr. mosques, family, as a white student coming up in the place to you, hon. his bo suburbs, he never saw the suffering of his black counterparts. errol mosque said he believed that apartheid had told his son not to discriminate, but ellen's electric car company tesla has faced serious accusations of racism. but suggesting must is racist in his upbringing is to blame. it doesn't actually match

the facts. and others on twitter were quick to point that out. your headline reads like a hit piece about how he didn't feel the effects of propaganda. yet your actual articles content is basically he did in fact see all the bad things that happened when free speech is and allowed. well, that piece is sure full of inconsistencies. it's as if you set out with a narrative that you couldn't find the facts to support the article literally says, born to an anti apartheid politician and fled south africa because he didn't want to participate in, in apartheid military. so by the same insinuation, anyone who has immigrated from india is a proponent of the cost system who paid for this little hit piece or did the order just come directly from the white house was, was not forget the just a few days after must reach to deal with twitter, the binding ministration and l plans for a dis, information board run by the department of homeland security, which immediately drew comparisons to 1984 as ministry of truth. the crime committed by ma, admitting that he is a free speech. absolute is

a good sign as to whether there is free speech is, is, is the one you don't like, allowed to say something you don't like. so as the anti you must, campaign continues. it appears the money and power behind it is rooted in the fear of what could happen when too much free speech is allowed in the public square of social media. i think that the, the issue surrounds the idea that, that it's not must purchasing twitter. it's the fact that he's going to open up the gates of truth. but on the other side, a lot of the things that the radical left and the, the democrats are doing the united states just fly against the basic principles of democracy in truth. and so what he's doing scares them because they don't get, they can, they don't get to control the type of narrative it, he's going to bring back public discourse or for the ability to have debate and what they wanted. they want just one narrative to permeate society. there's just

some days ago before the victory de commemorations take place across russia, a national holiday. when people recall the great sacrifices made during the great periodic war, during the 4 years of the soviet, union's enforcement and international orphanage in the russian city of the phone of a, became a shelter for children from different countries. shemelle choose events in china brought many pupils from the country to russia. some of them even went on to serve on the front lines while others, some still children, helped her for the wounded, brought to the orphanage. r t heard some of their stories. ah, yup. or restore, i do remember that i was born in moscow in 1936. and then when the great patriotic

gould began in 9041 was sent to the red to the city of the van over 300 kilometers from moscow. where the 1st international footage was built, ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, yep. when you got them. i remember when injured soldiers were brought from the front line as well as wounded civilians. the old guys acted as paramedics taken care of the engine. as for us, the little children we held them washed band, just kept the wounded. com, we sang psalms to the injured soldiers and civilians. dongs wrote letters during the great patriotic bull, we were small, but despite a rage, we'll try to help the soviet people defeat the fascists. so we went through this

war together and won this war to get with libya. visiting with the dog. i have the fondest memories from life in the orphanage, even in such trouble to difficult times. it was my golden childhood and i think we received a very good spiritual education there. the russian teachers, but also education and they'll finish in still to me. i love for my us from my profession, so i want to give my heart felt thanks to them, not only to my corey over for teachers, but to all the educators, to all our teachers in soviet schools. because they told me how to be

a good person ah ah 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 offensive, very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how

that strategy will be successful,
