describing the proposal as a nuclear bomb being dropped into the economy with broadcasting live direct from a studio in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, the evacuation from the surrounded as i was stall factory in mario pal has officially been completed. that is, according to the latest statement from the russian defense ministry. more than 50 civilians have been taken to safety from the main battle ground in the conflict within the last few days, bringing the total number of evacuation there to more than $100.00. ukraine claims that all women, children, and the elderly, have been evacuated from the eyes of self steel plant. at this point, russia for its part says, all of the rescued civilians were taken to temporary accommodation sites with the assistance of the un and the red cross. we heard from some of those evacuated and what they experience hug dahlia frontal,
12:02 am
nigella. but when the front line began to approach the factory, they stopped letting us out. this. it was our idea to hid in the bunker. and when we realized the front line is coming, we were all terrified. we tried to leave them a point. if we knew about the humanitarian corridors, we knew about the evacuation. we'd see, but they just didn't let us out. they specifically approached the buildings and fired from there, realizing that they would come under fire naturally. there was a lot of space at the factory, but they were near civilians. they fired right from our building and then we came under shelling ukraine as estate. it has died for me. well, i was very offended that they were doing this to us. one time they wanted us to dig trenches, the men said that they would not go out to do this because it was dangerous. it's crazy to even think for me that my son can go dig trenches. why should he do this? they cease fire has been in place at the factory to provide civilians a safe way to leave the area or cheese senior correspondent. what are gods you have sent us this report from the embattled industrial zone? earlier this week?
12:03 am
mary, you bull has fallen silent. the quiet seals almost alien, but it holds a unilateral cease fire established by russia is now in its 3rd day, broken only by cranium. license within the adult seal dash real soon. the situation is very fragile right now. there are senior officials from the un here from the red cross, as well as russian officials all trying to negotiate and negotiating with the nationalists spill inside the as of steel. industrial complex because the situation is so fragile. journalists have been forbidden from going anywhere near that. that is one of the conditions that the nationalists have put forward to keep the press away, not to feel what is happening. but as i say this, this is
12:04 am
a hopeful son with the see suarez now. i beat an effect for over 24 hours. the city hasn't been least quiet since the battle began. this quote has provided us with an opportunity to visit areas recently liberated from nationalists. this is another armored personnel carrier that was captured by russian forces from as of nationalists, ukrainian nationalists. this imperfect working condition, other than the todds replace those and off it goes. but this is an a very interesting machine, a btr, 82 k, because the pumps here are from italy. the engine is mercedes from germany and all the thermal imaging and video cameras inside the electronics are all marks in english. now the interesting thing is how did these come into the possession of ukranian nationalists as of nationalists, which until recently,
12:05 am
even many western countries considered a decal organisation. yet nato instructors and nations quietly train them, capture documents and pictures, show, and supplied ukraine with high tech equipment that they knew would fall into the hands of ukrainian nationalists. nationalists, and mercenaries. here at the edge of the vos, as of steel industrial compound, we found the body of another ukrainian nationalist killed during the fighting. he had i. what's interesting about him, if you have a look at he states, it's leak, it's long. it's very dark, uncharacteristic of ukrainians. most likely, one of the many foreign mercenaries fighting on behalf with ukrainian nationalists here. but of course, be interesting to see a full list of just how many nationalists of parish the foreigners, and how many is still alive inside the vast as of steel industrial compound,
12:06 am
russia believes that hundreds of foreign fighters are we've, as of nationalists inside mario pulls industrial zones many far right radicals from the americas and europe. white supremacists send war junkies for 2 months. they have also been, persists that reports that among them active duty, nato instructors and even offices who may well be according to room was part of the civilian evacuation. deal more at gas, div, haughty from mary. you po. meanwhile, peaceful life is starting to be restored and mario booked with humanitarian aid being provided to those remaining in the city to relieve shortages of food, fresh water and medicine, or choose from one coast of reports from one of the distribution points. our crew har, back in the city of mario poll, we are continuing to deliver
12:07 am
a humanitarian aid to the residents here who have been without food or water, or electricity for nearly 3 months already. there are many chairs, warriors, asians, that come here, but obviously it's not enough for everybody. we brought up once again, no food or water medicine barriers, hygienic items as well. this particular distribution points serves at least so 5000 people in this area. we can see volunteers are helping us out as role. these are some of the goods that were brought potatoes, bread can goods as well and hygienic items. and right now they'll help us out also to separate all this into a rations the chest partition or now it's more quiet. and you can hear shots at night sometimes and but generally it's more quiet that are the rush and emergency services are working here. well, they've started to clean up the rebel. i clean up the rubbish. like you said, the city is starting to feel alive. we get water from outside of there's lack of
12:08 am
water and it's a problem. there's no electricity, no communications, because we're getting through it and hope it will be better soon. yeah, it looks like there will be some celebration ahead of 2nd world war victory days on the other side of the city has been opened. public transport restarted on may 6th, not at the needed levels yet, but at least people can visit their relatives. people are already lining up outside to receive the humanitarian aids just not one bed. it's okay. it was worse before when they started shooting. it was scary. there were 3 strikes near us and we had 7 broken windows. a lot of our grandmother was sleeping in the room when all glasses fell on her. it's a good thing. she was covered by a blanket. it was at night for around a month we slept in the bathroom and on the floor before russia came, i said after that we left the bathroom and started to sleep in beds told me so it was scary and we couldn't understand who was shooting and from what direction with
12:09 am
at the moment in the city of marie opal, it is quiet to cease fire was announced in the as office style metal, ga plans where the rest of the nationalist battalions had been, holds up to lately and russia. and in this people's republic of establishing humanitarian corridors for the local people who are basically help captive by nationalists as all battalions in the plans for them to leave. the international committee of the red cross and un agencies are on the outskirts of variable the moments ready to take in the refugees. but of course, most of the people from the city are you who want to leave the area are going deep inside the people's republic territory. and a lot of them are moved further to russia and
12:10 am
a small percentage of the people here. maria, people are moving to other territories in ukraine as well, from on cost for a marquee. maria, the nest people's republic. u. s. president joe biden is said to sign the ukraine lendlease act on monday to facilitate additional supplies of weapons to key if the program last used during world war 2 is also position to benefit the u. s. economy . in ortiz don quarter comments where there's war, there's big business, looking to profit from the carnage. america's weapons, manufacturers know that better than any one else. take raytheon technologies which saw dollar signs on the horizon, even before russia's military operation and ukraine began. we're seeing, i would say opportunities for international sales, the tension in eastern europe, the tensions in the south china sea. all of those things are putting pressure on some of the defense spending over there. so i fully expect we're going to see more
12:11 am
benefit from it. at the same time making money from people killing each other doesn't weigh on their conscience one bit. i think again recognizing we are there to defend democracy and the fact is, eventually we will see some benefit in the business over time. everything that's being shipped into ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles either at the department of defense or from our nato allies. and that's all great news. eventually we'll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business over the next coming years. not only is this endless flow of state of the art weaponry to crane, spurring the weapons industry forward. but the accompanying gap in washington supply is creating that much more of a demand spike. the united states military has probably sent about one 3rd of its javelin, anti tank missiles to ukraine, one 3rd of our supply given to them replenishing us stocks of those weapons would require 32 months. some politicians are even calling for president joe biden to
12:12 am
invoke the defense production act that would allow washington to make companies prioritize government contracts to refill the countries javelin, and stinger stockpiles and seeing est deals are what the weapons industry relies on . it would mean significant profits for these merchants of death. we have a significant usage rate for the stingers that we're moving over there. javelins also, and we have to not only be able to help the ukrainians, we have to maintain our stock. the cupboard is empty or it will be very, very shortly unless the president invokes the defense production act to provide that demand signal on an expedited basis. no doubt arms corporations are thrilled about the potential for a new military spending. frenzy lobbyists are already working around the clock, pushing for more state contracts to defend the country, so called defense industrial base. after all, raytheon and lockheed martin stock prices skyrocketed the very same day that
12:13 am
russia's operation began. on top of that, washington is looking to send ukraine, some obsolete personnel carriers from the vietnam war, which would make more room for weapons producers to fill the space left behind with new equipment. looks like weapons manufacturers can count on a lot more profits in the near future. while we can count on a lot more casualties. we have been flooding arms into ukraine. we should be seeking peace, rather than seeking to prolong the, the conflict. there are few ways of becoming wealthier, faster and easier than to start a war and to bleed off profits from of, from war, from the arms industry. tremendous dr. by the, the war industrialists to produce arms and to, to, to create a level of war,
12:14 am
hysteria that will produce markets for their, for their arms. there is continuing division in the u. concerning brussels proposed new round of sanctions targeting russian energy. the hungarian prime minister has compared the blocks planned total ban on russian oil to a nuclear bomb for the central european nation. meanwhile, hungary top diplomat has claimed that the country is being unfairly attacked because it relies on russian energy supplies. we're looking at this issue solely from the perspective of hungarian national interests. we're not interested in what the east or the west think about it. the real security of supplies is an issue for us because it's currently physically impossible to run the hungarian economy without russian oil. you also pointed out that hungry gets around 65 percent of its oil from moscow who passed earlier confirmed that it wouldn't back in the embargo on russian energy and could veto your sanctions on the oil industry. hungry was
12:15 am
also among the 1st european countries to agree to allow the conversion of their russian natural gas payments to roubles. that's as a radical ukrainian website known for naming and shaming those it deems enemies of the state has recently added hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon to its list with the outlet accusing him of being the only e leader to refuse to allow the passage of legal aid for ukraine through hungarian territory, the site branded hungry that leader, an anti ukrainian propagandist and an accomplice in, quote, russian crimes. the secretary of ukraine's national security and defense council has also accused hungry of wanting to seize ukrainian territory. and even having been informed of russia's military operation in advance, the move provoked an angry response from the deputy chairman of russia's security council dmitri madrid. if this rate soon enough, brighten european capitals,
12:16 am
ukrainian, nazis will personally deal with any inconvenient superiors and will separate the lambs from the goats. they will decide who to exclude from the happy ranks of ukraine lovers. tomorrow. so the presidents and prime ministers of france, germany, italy, and others beware. you are now under their suspicion political commentator, george sam. well, he believes the e. u is seeking ways to punish hungry for victor or bonds. aim of maintaining good relations with moscow. founder is victor or as distinguished from many countries and with them. well, in declaring that this fight between your brain and russia, hunger is fight. i mean, whole battle ready cause problems always played with the european union. i mean, the european union is not bringing action against him to the fuse of any family. he has been trying, seeking more ways to punish it's very important for hunger is nationalist
12:17 am
interest that it may say relation, russia, but obviously it was security reasons, but not bubble energy. and it is when hungry getting all the energy from it. pretty much 100 percent of its energy comes from russia, so or balance on the same relation. right. and another european country doesn't agree with the use plan to sanction russian energy supplies. that's slovakia. their government has warned, it won't agree to the european commissions occur blueprint for a ban on russian oil imports and has called for more time to find alternative fuel sources. if it comes to an approved embargo of russian all as part of a further package of sanctions against russia than slovakia will request an exemption. the use of foreign policy chief, joseph burrell said on thursday that shutting off russian gas imports was not under discussion gas. and like oil, he said, would be impossible to replace. can she cedar like delicate medically,
12:18 am
but the oil market is global and their alternative procures that there may be moments of transition and 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 is pretty much, it is not only used to make a dealership. gas is a raw material in the petrochemical industry and the petrochemical industry in europe. and in particular, in germany ways a lot. gas cannot be replaced by anything other than gas gas from russia, or somewhere else, but it must be gas it. 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 under 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. we have heard repeatedly from politicians such as yoseph, burrell,
12:19 am
ursula vaughan de leon and others saying, you know, you must end it's dependency when it comes to russian energy. and that has previously been an oil gas and coal. and now here we have 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. but there's also a question as to whether the e will have much for 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 has asked. and 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 wouldn't do that. poland and bulgaria had they supplies cutoff after they refused to pay for that gas supply. in rubles,
12:20 am
and other countries there, the you are trying to make that decision. now, there's been this conflicting advice from you are paying commission in some documents. it saying it would be possible to do this with an exchange mechanism in place. in other documents it says no if you pain both, this will breach the sanctions at the moment. so difficult times the head the you to make that decision oversee when it feels there is the potential for russia to turn off those taps anyway. and essentially take that decision on the table. india has pushed back against a dutch diplomat, who tried to convince new delhi to vote in the un against russia due to the ukraine conflict of the dutch representative to the un had taken the twitter to say, india should not have abstained the general assembly. but he removed the post after a rebuke from india's representative. the dutchman also faced a barrage of criticism online. the treat, referred to india's abstention on
12:21 am
a resolution condemning russia's invasion of ukraine and on another to strip moscow of its un human rights council membership. it came in reply to a post by india's un representative about his address to the security council on thursday. a country has its rights to decide its foreign policy, and every country should respect it, especially the former colonial powers. india will do what is in its best interest, just like you and usa has been doing for decades. stop lecturing us. this is a new india. we know what serves our interests best. india's neutrality needs to be used to and this east west nonsense in which entire world has been crushed, polarized time for entire world to work for peaceful coexistence and progression of all 4 of us. that's cross live to dr. sharon come all due to a political and foreign policy expert. thank you for being with us here in our international. so, the dutch ambassador to the un accused india of disrespecting,
12:22 am
the un charter by declining to vote against russia over the ukraine conflict. what's your opinion of the whole situation center most i would say that we have maintained independent foreign policy in relation to the global want. we have never aligned to any part any blocked at such. and this has to be not consistent stamped right from the start of beginning altamont in india, once in the same totally independence that such we have been on the 9th and we have maintained neutrality when it comes to conflict of interest at such. and that has been published and right from the b one i would be back out here, lots of birth has been commented up on, on in relation to india neutrality in permission to india. the extension that the un security council can be un general, less and be in relation to the conflict in your print might. it would be if we do
12:23 am
not need any kind of sarmens from any one that we don't want to be preached by any want. as such, we don't want what is good and what is bad, and we have maintained the position of strength on this. and our position has been very clear that this complex needs to be solved through dialogue. it has to be solved for me and it has to be solved on be through dialogue in the table that such water is not as far and being any kind of dispute or any kind of conflict that such it has to be dissolved, will be as in our position from the b one second b. we have also reach every our position in relation to the human rights of violation, all the information to the phoebe collins and we have condemned that in ukraine and retail rate. that was a shame that under no conditions civilians should be taught to him in that place so
12:24 am
that such an iep steady sending cbs pavements. it needs to be inquired up on independently and it needs to be content as such that has been not about the job, but at the same time to be asked us to we should pick up article the line in relation to that on collect or we should take a particle or viewpoint which would be pleasing, probably european union are to interest interest who was involved in this, in this conflict back if something which we will not tolerate. and our position has been very clear that we know what is good and walk a sense of them. and we do not want to be preached by anyone as such, under any condition position has been up all wish and not strong neutrality, and better has been our strength. and we have a game prepared in the un security council in the un general assembly that this conflict has to be se 20 and we cannot be dictated by any one to watch should be
12:25 am
obvious in relation to the conflict and briefly the, the entire idea of respect is really what's on the table here because we know that india is basically standing up and saying, look, we don't want the west to tell us what to do. we have our own histories to look out for the dutch ambassador did remove the tweet. do you think that that's a sign of respect for india, or was he just reacting to the overall criticism about the post in general? know it has a respect to india back to the importance of the indian presence at the global level and how important india until the deletion of the tweet itself speaks symbolically unsettled, such today, india is and that's also of strength in very important bob. in the, in the past and our views and by says, cannot be ignored, that we have to address stand very clearly to you're not going to perform a recall. and so, as well as to the european union and nato, and we have
12:26 am
a chance to take the position very clearly to your grand celeste or russia also. and we have been saying this from the one that this conflict has to be so on. it's fully and it is only to dialogue at any kind of fields or any kind of conflict can be solved this such. second is like the deletion of the tree. 5, the amphitheatre constant from netherlands. that itself proves that to yes. yeah. and it's gibson of justification to deposit and off into as such. and i'd be on an author talk to be honorable member center simply and that yes, what b b i has been speaking for so long. and what has been the balls if you're not being dea is something which is the right course. and if the part through which any conflict can be so bad, and i think if that isn't the tweet, dr. sharevault come all due to a political and a foreign policy expert. thank you very much for letting us your thoughts on the
12:27 am
subject should now as allied powers celebrate victory in europe, day the contributions of ukrainians to the triumph over naziism would be hard to to overestimate as every 6 fighter in the ranks of the soviet red army was ukrainian in october of $944.00, the ukrainian socialist republic was completely liberated from the nazi invaders. the city of mario opal had been occupied for almost 2 years, or t has heard from a war time veteran who witnessed the occupation. this total, you know, we were a new super, so i was so are you new him? so kind of like a year ago where you got the supply into horror films that are needed with chemo. because that would mean with that sequence,
