a special coverage of the stories of ukrainian refugee. and bulgaria is tilted by protests against involvement in the ukraine conflict as people express concerns about getting dragged into the war. some demonstrators even tried to tear down and cranium flag from a government building the guessing line from studios and moscow. this is our team, national, and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with the latest on the war and ukraine. life has been slowly returning to heavily damaged cities in the don. yet campbell guns republics, as residents repair their homes and stores. meanwhile, in the southern ukrainian city of san which is near crimea, the russian oriented administration says it plans to ask moscow to amex the region . it is unclear what russia plans are for that area. fighting has continued in the north of the country where local officials, they're claim that they have pushed russian troops out of 4 villages near you canes

is 2nd largest city article and the lugens can republic. people in the frontline villages and towns have been struggling to get basic necessities such as food and water. but there are those willing to help we heard from a woman whose son lost his life in the conflict and who has found some relief in volunteering to help others mikey's re phenomena reports as this little kitchen and an abandoned war veteran center in our chest, west of la guns, volunteers from a local branch of a global food relief organization are preparing meals for the don bus frontline exxon is among them. 2 months ago, her son, a soldier with the people's republic of the guns, died from a sniper bullet in a battle for a village, helping others is how excited decided to help herself deal with the immense pain, tearing her apart those financing of pacola. i'm relieved that it was an instant death. my son didn't have time to understand or feel anything that's according to

the medical report or it's reassuring. it would be very scary if they were in pain . mother always worried about her children getting hurt. it was so cold in march this year. the guys were sitting in the trenches. i talked to the one did yesterday . they said to spend the night there in waste the water. naturally, we were worried about them being in the cold and in pain. we were reassured by the fact that they weren't in pain. i was only coming here to get the body. but when i came a witness to pain and sorrow and i realized that i have to do something about it. and there is a lot to be done all across this war torn region with the humanitarian situation close to catastrophic people in towns and villages near the front line hiring need of literally everything medicine, clothes, diapers, blend kids thousands of tons of humanitarian ada. send here every day to meet people's needs and to help ease their suffering. but there are a couple of essential things that are never enough of course,

water and bread. this time the food goes to rubbish, nan battles for the town between the ukrainian army and the joined forces of russia and the gods. republic made it hard for people to survive. these residents of rubies, now lining for hot mails. the town is now relatively safe. it is totally under the control the russian forces, but it has been under for years fighting for many weeks. most of the locals left the city, sorry, but even more ascertain here. they have to stay because they have no place to go to . while food is important, access to madison seems to be and even more urgent, a life threatening need for so may people here. they look around, we hated the food, brought us fitted, baloo bromley, alicia with laurie. lillian and nicole in the craft

with equivalent will become the healers. wilson with people are carrying lists of the medicines needed. so one to show how long the lists are there are lot of insulin dependent people, which is a problem. i don't know how to handle this the charity effort exxon is here with is just one of many private and government relief initiatives in town. oh, okay. i said us, these girls who are you through the chair buffy long possible. no, lou. my mom. while we talk to local women, distant sounds of shelling a heard, the frontline has moved several kilometers away from the town. but the fight for the republics remaining territories will continue for yet some time. more than 1000000 ukranian civilians have fled to, to russia to escape the war with local authorities, providing them with supplies and practical support. that's despite the ukrainian

governments claims that refugees are being forcibly relocated in a special report. we hear from many who have voluntarily had an east to seek refuge in russia. ukraine has repeatedly accused russia of deliberately targeting civilians, not letting any one escape the fighting. today's russian attacks on a kindergarten, an orphanage, or war crimes and a violation of the rome statute. together with the office of the attorney general, we are collecting these and other material which we will immediately transfer to the hague or response to this act is inevitable. elect on the 29th of march, i told you that russian occupants destroyed 773 educational institutions in our country. now it is twice that number 1580 for these a kindergarten schools and universities. the occupies of already killed $220.00 ukrainian children. there. the same schools and kennedy gardens, that as of neo nazis and regular troops alike liked to you so much as their basis.

same story with the humanitarian corridor was facilitated by cave only on paper. a colon, joy, i have not seen humanitarian corridors from the ukrainian side. the ukrainian military were in the city, but they didn't do anything. vitaly met the war in ukraine, controlled mario po, and lived to see victory there with russian banners all round about under and should it will ukrainian soldiers looted broke open all the shops. people just got left overs after the russian military entered the city and some one needed help. they tend to them for medicine. for example. sometimes they gave russians, they helped in general them. eventually they managed to leave into russia. something they could never do while ukrainian forces had the grip on the city and the face of every civilian, their mama. we've been planning to move for a long time, but couldn't persuade my mother. but on april, the 1st 2 shells were fired near our house and killed one woman and a young guy if they tried to save him taken to the hospital. but the ukrainian

troops did not let him through. after this incident, we decided to leave marie poor. russian emergency services volley dawson and there we had to pass filtration with the civilian population was screened out from the military who disguised themselves, the civilians caused not everyone moved to russia without hesitation or fear. the decision to leave home is rarely taken lightly, especially if your child is fighting for the side. russia consider its enemy moiety bullets. we'll run that through. graham and my son is a ukrainian soldier while crossing the border. i didn't hide anything. i was com. you went into the territory of rush and swollen tears, help me. they didn't leave me. my son honestly told me mom, go to the russian border, who go to russia, they will help you there. my son asked me to, i thought i might go to jail, but no one offended me. she says she glove to return. if only though there was

actually anything to return to your dom, we're yep, now i plan to go to my sister, but if nothing happens, i think the russian authorities will help me. i would like to go home, but most likely i won't come back. there is no way to go back to. everything was bombed out and i don't trust ukrainians. a village in russia belgrade region and near the ukrainian border has been shelled by ukraine's military. this is, according to the local governor. one person has been reported killed and 3 others wounded. some buildings were destroyed and emergency services have been assisting residents in the effected area. ah, protests have opted in bulgaria with people calling for the government to resign on the accusation that it's more involved in the ukraine conflict than in fixing their own country's economic problems. ah, people were even seeing, trying to tear down a ukrainian flag from

a government building and clashing with police earlier bulgaria, imposed economic sanctions against russia, expelled russian diplomats, and offered to repair ukrainian military equipment. the protesters to say that they do not want to be dragged into the conflict with russia. got the ukrainian government has destroyed the ukrainian states. and now the ukraine and people are suffering because of their actions. this is what the bulgarian government led by the u. s. is now trying to do, will we allow this to get to get the u. s. and the european union want to involve bulgaria in the war between russia and ukraine. yes, this is a disgrace. the nordic countries of finland and sweden are expected to announce on thursday that they will seek to join nato. it would be a significant shift for the 2 nations which have a long history of neutrality. russia has warned both countries against joining nato, arguing that it would be not be bringing stability to europe actually shall be asking, explains,

neutral to their cool. that's how many might have described sweden and finland until the war in ukraine. now the 2 nordic nations are apparently endearing up to throw off their neutral blankets and join nato in a move that expected to provoke a response from moscow. naturally, we will have to reinforce these borders. in this case, it would not be possible to talk any more about baltic non nuclear status. the balance has to be restored. moscow hasn't been clear that any further nature expansion is a red line. viewing the blocks, increasing encroachment eastward as being a threat to russian national security. but despite that, there is plenty of encouragement for both sweden and finland to dive in to the alliance. the war in ukraine is forcing our school to make difficult decisions. but sovereign nations must be free to make those decisions without fear or influence or

threat of retaliation. so i'm very pleased to date are with you. i promise ration up to sign this mutual security assurances declaration. it's an agreement that brings our 2 countries even closer together in finland, the polls show overwhelming support food they smooth in neighboring sweden, however, there is less enthusiasm. so why have these traditionally neutral nations decided to revisit the prospects of membership in the alliance? well, they've been rattled by russia's conflict with ukraine, they say, explaining that it has changed the whole security landscape. all europe, both sweden and finland have also requested that if they do submit their applications that they should receive security guarantees during the trends. listen

to the alliance. current members have tried to allay. those can say, it's inconceivable that britain would not come to the support of finland or sweden if it was ever attacked for food. in particular, the worry is centered on the fact that it has an 800 or so my long border that it shares with russia and helsinki fees that asking me to membership, could see an immediate reprisal from moscow. so why does russia see this is being threat? both sweden and finland have greatly increase their defense spending in response to the war. as countries with high levels of per capita income, they could make a net contribution to nato's military capabilities over time. it makes sense that they might take on a leading role in defending the whole baltic region, for example, by adding enhanced air and missile defenses. making contributions to nato ground forces currently in estonia, latvia in lithuania, but considering the situation own ukraine's nordic nations

a wondering if it may be better to be in rather than on the periphery of the nato block. even if the criminal believes it will not bring greater security to europe, and it's a gamble that finland and sweden increasingly likely to take a look at the situation. there is no reason to go on the major, right? no crane. this is a different situation than crenan country. you manage your strategical interests. ready western countries, especially the usa and draw a halt in the moment. so you're say one to 2 and not to me 2 until that point. or i see, i mean by finland and sweden. now female is a neutral country. it was very, very good at sweden. was not in the nation before though they have a foreign policy situation with russia is no kind of

endangering the serenity of this country's. there is no aggressions from finland street to russia like it was from crazy for to russia. so to my mind, that doesn't make sense for me all the mindset if she want to agree with g s condition. this is the wrong step. somebody lives historian and political analyst math meant parent check says that nato is using the conflict for its own interests . bits or para caea, the special operation is directed against nato's expansion. niece 20. this expansion poses a threat not only to russian national security, but also the security of other countries. for example, turkey, the united states has created an entire turkish block in the eastern mediterranean . the americans want to use ukraine as a breach hat against russia and other countries. if it wasn't for the special operation, the conflict would spread beyond crane's territory, which would be

a catastrophe. him. united states aggression is the main reason for the conflict. it keeps supplying weaponry to crane. the west doesn't want to cease fire. they continue, their provocations is beneficial for the united states, but he, craniums russians, and other nations suffer. this war is beneficial only for the west. i have visited several cities in the dumbass and met local officials and residence from what i've seen, i can say with certainty that the war began long before the operation. many people have died over this 8 years. they are still being killed. what is happening now is down to the keys regime, people have literally been living under and neo nazis dictatorship. they couldn't celebrate victory day, couldn't speak their native language in schools, children were taught to hate their neighboring country. her little v police in riga have block access to a prominent memorial to red army soldiers who liberated lafayette from nazi forces in world war 2. that's after authorities used

a bulldozer to remove an abundance of flowers left at the monument during victory day celebrations. and, and arrested people who spoke at got out against them. the police also arrested several people who were wearing commemorative st. george ribbons which have been banned in the country has tried to distance itself from its historic ties to russia. nevertheless, hundreds of people returned to decorate the monument with more flowers and candles after the previous ones were removed. please then completely blocked off access. we heard from locals outraged by via forties actions. you said, you know my, if i go to my father's grave, i put flowers and someone will come and drag them away. i think it's just vandalism . it's terrible. we collected money for this monument donations back in the 1980s. each resident of re guys, i know donated his own funds for the creation of the monument. and today this is what they're doing yet let's,

let's wait. flowers had this morning in victor day of the victory of the whole people, the whole world. and now someone gave the order to forbid me to go to this monument today in lay flowers. this is absurd, this is neither democracy nor freedom. and i am sorry that i now leave in such a state. russo phobia has become commonplace in europe even on the roads as russian license plates are stolen. vehicles, vandalized and drivers, bullied. we bring you more on that in our documentary on the writings of phobia on the continent. here's a taste. huh. oh, okay, with with both of us yes. yes i do. i will say, oh there is

a voice. what is the european and especially eastern european highways of become rows of hell of a russian truckers and cause with russian number glades have become targets. you see vehicles with broken windows and punctured tires and drivers are lucky of only that cause a targeted or she's news. media was credited lighting. if you speak russian, keep your voice down while out and about when i got out because it was for us for us to still sarah quote, don't put your homeland symbols on display. yeah. hold on. yeah. the social stacy schneider. oh, i can guide you guys in the bottom. don't talk to strangers. i avoid noisy gatherings and rallies, picking up a few times. wonder if i see you and get him in the marshes, even your colleagues and perhaps also your friends think you're guilty because your

russian truck drivers from russian dollars have reported being bullied on the road, but they say it was common even before the crane conflict corrupted a few months ago, one driver as well as a transport company owner, have spoken out about how russians are being treated when he was more than previously. it's impossible to imagine something like this happening. the police made clear after the incident that no further action will be taken and there will be pointless to go to court. this is an unimaginable situation. ordinary europeans don't support this. there are organisations in europe that consist mostly of locals, indigenous europeans who are against what's happening now. and people who are trying to help us a lot in austria, a similar organization helped our guys find a place to sleep. and moreover, they have been looking after them during the night. europeans know what is good and what is bad. they haven't taught for decades what fascism is and who saved the

world from it. and now they are trying to change their perception of history. all this of course, does not influence our guys in the right way. they live in an army regime, 2 thirds of the personnel rest, while the other 3rd monitors. the whole situation in general has shown us who is who the mascot as they say are off. you can see who is our friend and who has our enemy, because we've been treated badly enough in some countries. but when the military operation in ukraine started, it just got worse. they treat us badly on the road. they overtake cut us off in parking lots. they can remove a vehicles license plate, cut cords, bash and headlights. india has reported nearly record high volumes of refined gasoline and diesel exports in march as it new delhi has been buying crude oil from russia at a considerate discount. having stuck a series of good deals with russian and suppliers since the start of the ukraine war. and the wheel imports from russia has seen

a more than 3 full jump compared with the same period last year. despite pressure from western powers to cut trade relations with moscow, we heard from indian political commentator, cool, read shake, who explains why energy trade between russia and india is beneficial for both countries. if we are getting energy fused cost, definitely help any country with check in inflation. we'll provide competitively cheap, but a few who bought a ticket and many of the products that india is buying from russia. not only because that a shares providing depo oil today. india, india and blue shield. long standing relationship because relationship on in concern, relationship culture. right? but, and that if you really knew or but looking at the bus to st . b and b,

i under sure. so much in so much public to people who people they are so much strong government by bonding that they're willing to increase off anything we can invest. meanwhile, iraq's oil sales have doubled since august, according to the country's government, despite repressive sanctions. by the us, we heard from a professor at the university of turn, from who says iranians have adapted to doing business in the face of heavy western restrictions. your on success as i think are linked to 2 major issues. one is the fact that the iranians have become used to the sanctions and that they've been able to become innovative and discover ways in which they are . oil can be exported and also for the money that

they make from those exports to be returned to the country. without any serious difficulty, there is a major shortage of oil supplies and therefore, the demand for iranian oil is huge. and countries are ignoring the united states and the europeans because they simply need those supplies. so i don't think that the americans are going to be able to put any real pressure on russian oil exports. so i think that it's quite easy for the russians to pursue these methods. and in order to prevent the americans from causing any serious difficulty, the palestinian journalist for the news outlet al jazeera has been shot and killed during israeli army, ready to on a refugee camp in the west bank. both israel and the palestinian authority have blamed each other for the death of sharina abu, a claire, who was also

a us citizen. at least 6 protesters were reportedly arrested during a rally on wednesday against the killing of the journalist. hundreds of demonstrators were seen marching through the streets and carrying photos of the reporter demanded justice in the case a little. this is a horrific crime in a premeditated execution of an envoy of the national media. we ask all international bodies to condemn this horrific crime and to hold the killers accountable as the jetty. this crime is one of many committed by the occupiers against our people. sharina is a deceased member of our nation. to day we ask for mercy, glory and immortality. for her, we are sure with the blood of our martyrs, our homeland will be rebuilt. a warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. this footage, it shows the moments after the reporter was shot apparently in the face. despite her wearing a press vest. producer was also shot, but as in stable condition, according to the palestinian health ministry,

the journalist body was then taken to a local morgue. and i'll just here a has accused israeli forces of quote, violating international laws by allegedly killing the corresponding code in cold blood. independent journalist and political commentator richard metro says it is unclear how the slain journalist could have been mistaken for combat. and we've all seen the videos there, absolutely. her effect her entire face was, was blown off. it's honestly gut wrenching. and i find incredible that, you know, the israeli prime minister and after the bennet or these really foreign ministry are putting out these claims. these myths that she was killed by palestinian gunfire. so i've seen the twitter video that the israeli foreign ministry poster where they claim that she might have been hit by palestinian gunmen. neither the video nor the audio match the one where we actually see her on the ground and limp and lifeless. and the other journalists with her were also being shot out. i think

this is very important to underlying that. this wasn't just one sniper who shot one . busy bullet at her and killed her even though it's obviously very precise marksmanship, but the entire group of journalists, the other journalists that she was with her colleagues from other news agencies. so not just from al jazeera, they were also being shot at. and you can see that in the multiple videos that have been released this morning. and this is very clearly it's an attack on the press. and i find it very hard to believe that these really forces cannot tell the difference between so called palestinian gunmen and journalists who have very clear press markings or wearing bullet proof vests wearing a capital investment wearing a helmet. this is very, very clear. israel's prime minister has claimed that it is quote likely that palestinian gun fired, killed the reporter, proposing a joint investigation and autopsy with the palestinian authority which has declined the offer. we spoke with a plan palestinian political analyst, who wasn't surprised by the killing of the palestinian journalist,

allegedly by israeli forces all the reports from human rights organizations that we've seen so far. all the testimony of eye witnesses and of journalists who are with shitty and when she was targeted and killed clearly refute the really version of accounts clearly refute the, even the possibility that palestinian gunfire was the culprit. there was no palestinian, a gun trier, where she was standing, shooting was standing in an open area where israeli soldiers could clearly see her and other journalists who were there, covering the rate of the of the refugee camp. she was wearing clearly identifiable, oppressed jacket and helmet, along with the rest of the journalist who were there. and yet she was targeted. and yet everybody who tried to rescue her and pull her out were also targeted and the ambulance was unable to get there. due to israeli obstruction,

there is absolutely no doubt in anybody's mind in palestine tonight. that is, the israeli forces killed shady and how clear. and there is no surprise in that because that wouldn't be the 1st time israel killed the palestinian journalist and lied about it. investigation is now underway. r t has requested more information on the incident from al jazeera and both of the israeli and palestinian sides. but has yet to receive response. we will keep you updated if we to get one that does it for me . i will be back and let's say 30 minutes and 30 seconds with another full social excuse ah ah ah ah,

a ah with with
