[000:00:00;00] ah ah, the crew is sheldon underneath the public with 2 cumberland wounded and taken off so they're working on the mining and essentially the general plan is to bring back to power the power plant over there and bring back the so much needed electricity supply to the city of mer, you are corresponding witnesses, the d mining operation and you fall as a city still goes to return to normal life to meet the ongoing fight thing in the us all to deal with a lot to be an m e. p is detained as a protest against demolition of a soviet memorial in the countries capital where she since been released ah,

on israeli police confront mourners at the funeral of an al jazeera journalist who was killed during classes in the west bank with palestinian and israeli officials blaming each other, the tragedy with just gone 6 am on the weekends getting underway. here in moscow, mine is peter scott and wherever jordan is from, welcome to r t international r t. crew has come into shell fire in the done yes. for public to come are men have been injured, are now in hospital get out, but by lip of ikea, the appellate butler, iranian i did at the dol, happened at separate federal station in the city of dogwood ukiah dock, who chikavsky in the center of the done yes, republic, everyone who was there had been running for cover at a nearby store while mom was hit in the head by shrapnel and died on the spot the crew claim. the shells looked and sounded like a grad launcher. with approaching,

we drove by stopped at the gas station to drink some coffee in the shelling started . apparently it was a grad rocket launcher. well, because there was explosion after explosion and we barely managed to run into the bill. got your law much all of it. no holding her very, it did look like a garage there was about 8 shells shot in total and we were lucky because one guy who stood nearby didn't survive. that if we didn't run in time, we wouldn't have survival to show that you know, you full russian under the s republic joint rescue services are conducting early stage reconstruction in cities in the dumbass region clearing debris and explosives from the area. they've also been supplying the cities in the done yes, republic on ukraine with water and humanitarian aid. meanwhile, ukraine and officials have warned, 10000 people could die. now you pull from water is being contaminated by sewage run off of the water supply. as we started the advisor to the males award to the

possible epidemic caused by bodies still buried in the rubble throughout the city. as fighting continues in the as of steel, fight you on the outskirts of matter you pull attempts are being made to its end some semblance of normal life to the ruined city. but invisible threats do still remain as many unexploded munitions lie, scattered around, eager john of census, his reports from a local power station that is currently being cleared by a stop is the gate. so the sap as of the joint force of rush and that, and that's people's republic. they are right now working on d mining this field. you can see him probing the ground over there after the metal detector. beeped saying, suggesting that something explosive might be that, well, apparently it was a false alarm. so we can still safely move about kind of following in the footsteps and they're working on the mining. and essentially, the general plan is to bring back to power the power plant over there and bring back this so much needed electricity supply to the city of mario po. this is not

the 1st time sap us have had to comb through this field. normally, multiple efforts are required to remove this sign. reading danger. mine's a little some key infrastructure like the hospital is functioning once again, but that's a small step group that of me nearing a house. but i can see mining brigade is currently checking the area of unexploded ordinances. they were planted by the ukrainian forces. the territory we've been tossed with is very large. we haven't been to the city yet. now wait clearing power lines since energy is one of the 1st needs of the population is necessary that the electricians are able to restore the infrastructure and provide supplies for the residential areas as much work to do. the main power line to didn't ask, has already been checked and cleared. so power grid workers have started the

restoration there. although with sounds of blood from the as of style steel plant still rumbling through my rouble. the rest of the city is trying to scramble together bits of peaceful life, those remaining and maria, who are used to hearing canon aids both day and night. but some of these blas actually sounds of approaching peace, not war amish dawn of reporting from our hugo. our t questions have been asked about a news report by the usa network, cnn, which ed and, and see with the ukrainian soldier who claims the killing russians has become like a sports. i am finding the seal ache when it's not funny to see sexual very things when you see like her people being killed and you like yeah, very weird feeling to be honest, but it's like the support knowledge and all our signs of extreme misuse have featured in a number of western media reports during the war, but given little comments, the b, b. c, for example,

interviewed. and as of soldier who had an s s division badge on his jacket, while the son showed a funeral, so many, but didn't mention an attendee wearing another assess division. sign journalist and author daniela's are gave us his take on the media response. the corporate media, cnn, 1st and foremost, has turn itself into a cheerleader for them out to the american military. and therefore it is like no cheering on the, on the war. fever cheering on the blood thirsty. ready enough in the correspondence should have said something of the correspondence should not have pitched in so gladly should not have encouraged the the, the ukrainian. busy soldier, it has shown a complete in capacity for any kind of critical thought. it isn't normalization of anti russian violence and it's very dangerous. it's threatened in terms of violence against russian individuals in. ready europe or america violence is spreading and

the corporate media are supremely irresponsible and egging this on moscow. shifting his position on ukraine's membership of the european union with versus top diplomat thing. the book is turning into nato, quote, aggressive accessory and moving away from its initial founding aims. with the problem of the knock useless of keys desire to join, you raises serious doubts. the european union has turned from a constructive economic platform as it was created to be into an aggressive militant player. they follow nato's lead, thereby confirming their integration with the north atlantic alliance, and will essentially perform the functions of its success re well meanwhile, the defense ministers of russia in the us held thoughts on friday for the 1st time since the outbreak of the war and ukraine moscow says the phone call was initiated by washington to discuss the most pressing issues of international security. and the pentagon claims

a cold for sci fi in ukraine. both sides emphasize the importance of bilateral communications during the crisis. and william mullins and former british diplomats and professor of political ideas and institutions. googly mo, marconi university believes europe is simply following the u. s. and nato's lead in its relations with russia. europe is literally an appendage at the moment of the us . the simplest that they call it later and don't forget, paradoxically, that nato was begun to keep america in russia out and germany down. and that is exactly where we are again now, when turkey invaded cyprus, for example, to apparently protect turkey speakers in cyprus, lewis did nothing and tool, and now they've become totally hysterical opting pose for years. and threatens for years. russia tried to protect its own brothers in what still pull the credit then there's

a huge amount of people proceed. i think will being understood and it will come through because at the end of the day when the, his serious eyes down economics will make sense. and you're probably going to see some european companies saying, hey, look, do we really want to be an appendage? is that the moment we are a lesbian member of the european parliament has been released after being detained on friday, to protest against the demolition of a war memorial to soviets soldiers in the countries capital riga. and the politician had reportedly been urging demonstrates as to go home at the police had been told to take a quote 0 tolerance approach to the protests. thus, after the lobbying government reportedly began preparing to demolish the war memorial. moscow's condemned the decision saying it defies any reasonable explanation. the accused lover of being the quotes most aggressive was the phobic ally of the you and nato. the editor in chief of foot latvia revealed more about

the day's events. so we did the shuttle events have made the 10th showed that the police did not intend to joke all their warnings. a very serious that people who've been detained at such events, no longer just threatened with administrative punishment for violating law on rallies. but they can also face criminal charges for justifying genocide. this is the article that in principle hangs over any person who says something positive about the russian authorities and the conduct to the special operation in ukraine. and this is from 5 to 15 years in prison. therefore, when the organizes of today's protests and these were by the russian union of latvia, and the harmony party learned from the police, that they would be 0 tolerance for all those who had gathered. the harmony party immediately refused to hold this event. and the supporters of the russian union of latvia, nevertheless, decided to leave in order not to expose them to arrests and detentions. the leader of the party tried to warn them and informed them about the cancellation of the rally. but she was detained. crowds had gathered in the town hall square to protest against the statues potential demolition. it came out to live in parliament,

passed the bill suspending an agreement with russia on the preservation of the 2nd world war monuments. protesters also demanded the right to express her opinion freely. until like every person has the right to speak them on rocks. and these demonstrations, not minding the fact that the police are here. i think every person know martin the fight, the police person away. i really hope this comes to an end in a good way. i really hope that people will have their free speech back in my country. we humphreys me. i was a non, was that boy that garage about that there you my yes, that i know the river got up to the last process which took place on may. the 10th

23 investigations have been launched into some of those who gathered at the memorial or to be outraged by the removal of flowers laid in honor of this week's victoria day commemorations. and one of the cases was brought against the young man for carrying a russian flag. we spoke to his mother to get more details on that is in your credit, my son, alexander, was arrested under the article of genocide and crimes against humanity. the maximum prison term is up to 5 years on the 9th of may. my son knox police officers. why did the russian flag was banned in latvia? they said it was on may the 8th and none, but on may the town. it was not on made attempts to police officers approached alexander and asked him to put the flag away after long conversation they apologized aloud. my son go then alexander, late flowers and candles, and one hour later he was detained out 2 flats have been searched on my hard drive and seen kyle were taken my son, his trust. now of course now the tensions emerged after all sorts is used.

bulldozers to clear flowers brought by locals to the monuments for the men in 9th day to day commemorations. in response, people brought even more flowers to the sides with police then completely blocking off the area. riga has been one of the most vocal critics of moscow's actions in ukraine, and that is in chief of sport in a live via believes there's no justification for such aggressive actions from the authorities. no hurry, naturally, nothing can justify and explain such a reaction to people such repression to which they now subjected. on the other hand, latvia is always at the forefront of all western trends. and if there is now a trend towards the abolition of everything russian than latvia is leading, this movement, the russian speaking minority of the past 20 years, has already been so down on humiliated and artificially integrated and assimilated into laughing society. that essentially, in the last elections, there was no danger to the authorities. but apparently as a deputy of the reagan city council, from the russian union of latvia said commentating on the decision to demolish the

monument. these people already have a taste of blood on their lips, so they want to deal with any objectionable manifestations as much as possible. now, of those who gathered on may the 10th that the monument to the liberator or today tried to come to the reagan city, whole, or simply outraged, they all outraged that they are not allowed to live according to their traditions. the habits this constant demand for public loyalty, the constant public denial, and chris in russia has become unbearable. the atmosphere in latvia for a russian speaking person is very difficult and moving on. so the news now is rarely security forces of clash with mourners of the funeral of an al jazeera journalist in palestine sharina to our clay. it was killed on wednesday while reporting in the west bank. ah, this what it shows police confronting those attending the funeral as they tried to move the caskets on foot and some clay,

what's exactly cole's in rest. the coffin was late to deliver to church by car, thousands of palestinians to parts in mourning for the journalist who lost her life amid a recent wave of tension is how events unfolded. ah, now quick warning, you may find some of the following images disturbing. this for these shows, the moments after the al jazeera journalist was killed during his railey army rate in the town of gen, in palestinian authorities, and the tv channel is self blame israeli soldiers for the journalists death. israel said both soldiers and palace any minute militants were firing at the time and called for a joint investigation which palestine has refused all season. dalia murray reports from the funeral. but after that attack,

some journalists are taking place at many entrances to the old city. we were prohibited from passing, and just now we've managed to get to the funeral procession. there are a lot of important people from jerusalem and across palestine participating in the funeral procession of our colleague coming through the old city to the resting place where she will be buried in a grave prepared in advance. you rarely see such a crowd enjoy them. it hasn't happened for decades and may be the 1st time we see so solemn funeral rushes, foreign minister said gala ralph has been to jerry and amman in what is his 1st middle east and north africa thought is the start of the war and ukraine, the region has remain neutral and his dance over the conflicts. love robes, visit cones as the west, pushing north africa to help europe because it dependency on russia, gas, and oil. algeria though, has repeatedly stressed, it lacks the capacity to meet the demands in the short term. the country has remained a reliable part of moscow with the algebra lead to saying that 2 countries are moving towards establishing

a deep strategic partnership. immediately after visiting algeria lover of charlotte to amman, wades foreign minister said muskets doesn't intend to put more oil and help isolates moscow. enough, despite pressure coming from the west, amount apparently intends to remain committed to the limits agreed by the opec plus group and to get a better understanding of the situation unfolding in the middle east. we heard from journalists non list alec risk. ready the west has been approaching the algeria actually of the star. shortly after the start of the military operation in ukraine . the west was approaching anthony lincoln, the u. s. foreign secretary here visited algeria. and i would assume that one of the items discussed was how l j could intervene to make up any shortages if an embargo was imposed. and i think that other european countries have on us have a similar stance and took a similar approach towards algeria. now will i was your respond favorably to such

a demand? i believe that the answer is a clear no one hand. it's not just about the jury nobility. by the way, i think it's also about jury politics. we can say that the american clout and the american ability to be able to push certain countries to adopt several similar positions to washington is gradually weakening. just a quick point about all man. i think the interesting part of all man is the the medic perspective and we all know that all mom plays a key role as a mediator. it has a history. so i think the visit on a particular, in the case of russia, in teams to play an even bigger role in the middle east by enhancing is tires of windy is very important mediating players. and you, paul, in the u. k. shows only just under a quarter of those quiz were aware of hunger crisis playing out in east and africa, which has tens of millions and its grip. the horn of africa is the region consisting of 4 states,

and more than 140000000 people was previously partially administered by britain. and you have warned, the global focus on the ukraine company may destroy the world from other large crises. your next words had been wanting a crisis in the area for months before the start of the war in ukraine. 3 failed rainy seasons have caused the worst drought in the region in 40 years. the problem was exacerbated by the war in ukraine as well as sanctions imposed on russia, which is the world's main wheat exporter. the situation has caused great prices to skyrockets, but russia faces problems exporting goods to global markets after limitations on financial mechanisms and goods, transportation. an associate professor at the university of south africa says the continents been living in the states of conflicts for a long time. and these problems shouldn't be forgotten of the conflict on daily basis. that is

a drive is an overarching pre got received immediately to the west and community just by making sure that that i've gotten into bob was wrong because there was funded by the western countries. once i've been says, i knew because to be in band, in making sure that i was in place on issues fitted into funding and security to be just fine. but again, i got a letter friday last week and start from there. well, what do i been doing is to give more debt for i don't kind of give them money as content and also now she go there, you know, i think, i guess i mean that, but that it's in time to make that, that put this in there with them mid was being described as the worst

economic crisis in flank as history. hundreds of people continued to protest on the streets demanding the resignation of the president's demonstrations, which began last month turned violent. this week, after 9 people were killed and at least 300 injured, several homes and public properties were also sets a lights. the government ordered troops to shoot any one causing quotes harm to life. and the protest started up to the collapse of shilling because national currency, which causes spiking prices and the shortage of essential items, including food medicine and fuel. local journalist do shon vas census this report. that me some a mix sentiment about their new employment of the prime minister and the prime minister had bob to appoint his cabinet ministers by next monday. that is, the 16th of me. 7, be in the mail is going to be quite to tell him to lanka, because the parliament will be convened. so it's going to be once again

a week in full of all the happenings and rama people asking for the president to sit down, people asking, tearing up, lining up in the a fuel station. running into kilby does asking for wheel. and there's a shortage of lp gas, and there's a power cutting for lanka. but rid the new appointment of all these are new ministers and the prime minister. there are there that there would be something in delight at the end of the turn it over to america. now, where the u. s. senate has failed to adopt an accelerated bill on early assistance to ukraine despite bilateral support for the speedy adoption of the law. senator runs, paul opposed the decision. according to the senate say it would be a big mistake by the u. s. the quotes save ukraine by dooming the u. s. economy is comes as a country faces its worst. inflation rates in 40 years, ortiz, racial blevins reports the native states congress is planned to pass an additional $40000000000.00 and funding for ukraine was stalled,

after it did not receive unanimous support in the senate. thanks to the objection of a single member. now republican senator rand paul, so that he could not support the bill because it didn't include legislation that would allow the inspector general to oversee how the money was actually spent in ukraine. similar to what the united states has done with the funding it has said to afghanistan for years, except for the top 5 countries. $60000000000.00 is more than every other country in the world spends on their entire military expenditures. if this gift ukraine passes, are totally due, crane will almost equal the entire military budget of russia. we should not forget that the soviet union collapsed in large part, not because it was defeated militarily, but because it ran out of money to attempt to save you crime. we will do, or will we do in the united states to such a future. now that in our paul is not the only one who has been criticized for

calling for basic oversight of the historic funding at the united states is sending to ukraine congress on march. your taylor green of was also call about and she was even accused of quote, repeating putin's propaganda after she took to the house floor to question why congress was moving forward with so much money for ukraine. when here at home, the country is currently facing a massive shortage, a baby formula that is impacting thousands of families across the united states. now all of this comes as the prices of everything from food to gasoline have continued to store with inflation in the us remaining at 40 year high. however, the sun is not finished trying to pass that additional funding for ukraine, and they are expected to take another boat on it as early as next week. well, political analyst, gahlan nixon believes that needs to be more questions over just how the us government spends taxpayers money. they are now taking the money that the american

people pay us taxes, taking the money that should be used to help the american people to increase prosperity here and using that to destabilize important regions of the world. so we're looking at a highly dysfunctional government that has fully decoupled from the american people and fully decoupled from its basic responsibilities as a government. if you look at the latest votes regarding ukraine regarding foreign policy, now the 2 parties generally fight to see which one can be the most talk is which one can be the most pro war. so the american people are rapidly finding out that they don't have an alternative to give them an option other than this government that doesn't represent that. we will see civil unrest because americans, you know, they're being damsels or they're being lied to. their being given said nothing but propaganda, but they'll accept that as long as they're fairly comfortable. as the gas prices go up and as the food shortages expand,

americans will get upset on this fight. unprecedented western sanctions against russia. the country's national currency. the rubel has been named as the world's best performing currency of the year, according to bloomberg. isn't a little over 11 percent against the u. s. dollars since january. this comes as moscow required exports to sell foreign currency and trade partners to pay for energy impulse in rubles investor of banking and finance demand for university, richard vernon says, western sanctions are so far failed to really hurt the russian economy. although they have damaged european markets, i don't think those that impose those sanctions wake suspecting the rubel to do this. well, the fact is that since 2014, with sanctions kicking in and the international financial markets being already at that time becoming increasingly hostile towards russia, there was a kind of market base discrimination against russia. they were aiming at russia but

really achieving that. but actually if you look at the logic behind the, the sanctions, it is essentially sanctions imposed by the us on the europe to had the european economy. and they're not really sanctions to had russia, which is very difficult to do when you are the largest economy, the largest country in the world, and, and one of the largest economies that spanned from europe to asia, that is able to trade with the entire world. the u. s. didn't for this information governance board chief, nina young coleridge is claiming trustworthy, verified people like her should be given the power to edit or the uses post on twitter and even not some background information like would compete here. i am eligible for because i'm verified but there are a lot of people who shouldn't be verified who aren't, you know legit in my opinion. i mean they are real people, but they're not trustworthy. however,

there are those who don't see the disinformation governments board as a necessary authority in itself. 20 attorney general from conservative states are demanding a dissolution for the board will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression. we discuss the issue with the executive director of an hyphenated america, christopher harris. we have freedom of speech, united states, america, and freedom of speech basically means even the freedom to say things that other people don't like. and this is one of the major problems that we're having united states right now is you have a whole factor, whole sector within the government, all of this country, especially when the government, who has a problem with anyone saying anything that they don't watch. it's a lot easier to infringe upon somebody's freedom of speech when you're the only one who has a gun. but when you're dealing with another person, also has a firearm. you have to deal with them a little bit more to be a little bit different. you have to be a, use your words,

you have to use some logic with them. you can't threaten the use of force with them . and because those people had a different opinion, they empowered them to basically sanction invalidate everything. or basically even keep people off the platform for saying things that they disagree with. well, that's about phenomena is peter scott's on the back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news and views, hey, anata international ah ah, [000:00:00;00]

with or situation forces can overwhelm, can dominate even the best of us. ordinary people put in a bad evil environment can become transformed to become part of that negative environment. and it's any of us or in fact, most of us the office of naval intelligence was pretty consistent. caught out front for cia. they funded much of this research and i don't know if there was a yield that they, they produce a yield for this cruel science. i don't, i, let's,
