ah ah, the crew is shelled in the done yes. republic with 2 common wounded and taken to the hospital. 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 more. you all correspondent witnesses, the d mining operation in murder. you pull as the city struggle to return to normal life with the ongoing fighting of the as all steel plan. ah, israeli police confront mourners at the funeral of and i'll just there are journalists killed during classes in the west bank with palestinian and israeli officials flaming each other for the tragedy. and the u. s. dis,

information governance board chief claims. she's trustworthy enough that it uses post from think a garage of i'm go online with go to the world. this is our to international. i and peter scott. and we start with the latest on the ukraine plates. and archie crew has come under shell fire in the done yes. republic to come, men have been injured and are now in hospital or get out the proper lip of ikea properly. but we run around and i do out the know happened at the petrol station in the city of duck, which i ask in the sense of the done yes. for public. everyone who was there had been running for cover to nearby store one man with hits in the head by shrapnel and died on the spot. and the crew claim the shells looked unfounded. like

a grudge rocket launcher crazily quick and i was approaching. we drove by stopped at the gas station to drink some coffee and the showing started. apparently it was a grad rocket launcher because there was explosion after explosion. and we barely managed to run into the bill. but your law much all of you know, propose a grad and aid it did look like a gradual there was about 8 shells shot in total and we were lucky because one guy who stood nearby didn't survive, die if we didn't run in time, we wouldn't have survival to talk about full russian and yet republic joint rescue services are conducting early stage reconstruction in the cities in the don bus region clearing debris and explosives from the area. they've also begun supplying the cities in the new republic and ukraine with water and humanitarian aid. those fighting continues of the as of steel fight for on the outskirts of multiple attempts to be made to return some semblance of normal life to the devastated city

. both individual thread still remain as many unexploded munitions life scattered around eagerness. donaldson says his report from a local power station that is currently being cleared by a stop is brigade. so the sap is of the joint force of rush and the next 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 kind of following in the footsteps. and they're working on d 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 mario po. this is not the 1st time sap us have had to comb through this field. normally multiple efforts are required to remove the sign reading danger. mine's

a little some key infrastructure like the hospital is functioning once again, but that's a small step group of monitoring a house. but the d mining brigade is currently checking the area for 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 dentist has already been checked and cleared. so power grid workers have started the restoration that over with sounds of glass from the as of style steel plant still rumbling through maribelle. the rest of the city is trying to scramble together bits of peaceful life those remaining, and maria,

who are used to hearing cannon 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 u. s. no work cnn, which has an interview with the ukrainian soldier who claims that killing russians has become like a sport binding the c like when it's not finding to see sexual very things when you see where her pupil been killed and you are very weird feeling to be honest, but it's like the support not enough signs of extremist views have featured in a number of western media reports during the war. but given little comments, for example, the bbc interviewed and as of soldier who had an s s division badge on his jacket, while the son tabloid newspapers showed a funeral ceremony. but in mention, and attendee wearing another s, s division sign journalist and author daniela's are gave us his take on the medias

. 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 nest 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 despite the 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. and that's according to bloomberg, is risen a little over 11 percent against the u. s. dollar since january. this comes as moscow required exports to sell foreign currency and trade partners to pay for energy imports in roubles, ortiz roma calls for has more nuts. russia has become the most sanction country in history. those who impose there is frictions against moscow all predicted the quick and inevitable crash of the russian economy. and the skewed sense of the reality continues to dominate the minds of the collection west as further embargoes are introduced continuously. however, the sanctions have not only been ineffective. they have given momentum to the russian national currency, the ruble. the rubel resumed its advance against the dollar on wednesday,

as the moscow exchange reopened after 2 days of public holiday. it's now up more than 11 percent against the u. s. dollar since the start of the year, surpassing the reels, 9 percent advanced to become the top gainer among $31.00 major currencies. despite the raft of sanctions designed to cripple the russian economy, the rubel has been the best performing global currency against the u. s. dollar. the west, however, prefers to play, make believe, and presents its own truth to its political use consumer. as a result of these unprecedented sanctions rule, almost immediately reduced to rubble. the so called anti crediting coalition, along with ukraine, claims that the whole world stands united against moscow. but that's not the whole picture. rush of natural resources are still in high demand, and most nations preferred to trades rather than get involved in the sanctions game for political reasons. moscow now demands that all oil payments are made in roubles,

and ever more european union buyers seem to be planning to comply with the new payment system. so now it isn't just the dollar that the rubel has gained ground on . the euro's value has also fallen. it's $1.00 to $20.00 levels. the data at hand therefore does not point to an abrupt plunge and activity, at least for now. so what's more important reality on the ground or the seemingly eternal narrative that russia's economy is in shambles due to the sanctions war all indicators point to the fact that moscow seems to thrive with each added restriction against its economy. are unprecedented. package of coordinated sanctions has already significantly hindered russia's war of aggression by limiting access to financial channels, inability to pursue their objectives. these restrictive measures are already having a significant impact on all russian economic sectors, financial trade, defense,

technology, and energy, and will intensify pressure on russia over time. russia has been under western economic pressure for quite some time, attempts to weaken its economy and other development as well, has now caught up with a well being of ordinary people, both europe and elsewhere around the world. but the answer russian political leads continue to convince themselves and everyone else that everything is going according to plan. well, if shooting themselves in the foot is the plan. they seem to be on the right path. i don't think those that impose those sanctions wake spec thing to ruble 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 based discrimination against russia. they were aiming at russia, but not really achieving that. but actually if you look at the logic behind the

sanctions, it is essentially sanctions imposed by the u. s. on europe to heard the european economy. i mean, they're not really sanctions to heard russia, which is very difficult to do when you are, you know, the largest economy, the largest country in the world, and, and one of the largest, you know, economies that spanned from europe, asia, that is able to trade with the entire world and all the news is really security forces have clashed with mourners at the funeral of an algae. there, a journalist in palestine serene abu, our clay was killed on wednesday while reporting in the west bank. ah, it shows police confronting those attending the funeral. if they try to move the casting on the caskets on foot. and it's unclear what exactly cause the rest will. the coffee was late to deliver to church by thousands of palestinians took part in

mourning for the journey. she lost her life, a recent wave of tension. here's how those events unfolded. a quick warning. now you may find some of the following images disturbing. this footage shows the moments after the al jazeera journalist was killed during israeli ami rate in the town of gen in boston, in north ortiz, on the tv, on the self do blame israeli soldiers for the journalists. death is just that the both so does on palestinian militants, were firing at the time and cold for a joint investigation which palestine has refused all season. dahlia. the murray reports from the funeral, that as a check from 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 maybe it's the 1st time we see so solemn funeral in the news of us been for this information governance board chief nina young core, which is claiming that the trustworthy verified people like yourself should be given the power to edit or the users post on twitter, uneven add some background info like on the wikipedia i am eligible for because i am 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. but there are those that don't see the disinformation governance board as a necessary authority in itself. 20 attorney general from conservative states are

demanding a dissolution. i mean, the board will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression and many to its uses. agree with this point of view as well. some of them have been saying about the proposal to let's verify, uses edits or the people's posts you couldn't have picked a worse minister of truth the nina young coverage. all the joe biden bootlegs look more stupid than ever. this woman wants to let blue checks edit other people's tweets if they see something misleading. as if biden's you disinformation board, have nina younger of it hasn't shown herself to be crazy enough already. she now states that she wants to verify with the users like herself to edit other people's to ease. this woman is dangerous, and unhinged. the executive director of hyphenated america crystal harris says the freedom of speech implies the existence of different opinions. 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 watch. and this is one of the major problems that we're having united states right now. you have a whole factor all sector within the government of this country, especially when the government has a problem with anyone saying anything they don't why. 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 who also has a firearm, you have to deal with them a little bit more a little bit differently. you have to 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 empower them to basically sanction invalid everything. or basically even keep people off the platform for saying things that they disagree with over to the u. k. now we're a new poll shows that just on the course of those quiz were aware of hunger crisis playing out in east africa,

which has tens of millions and its grip. the horn of africa is a region consisting of 4 states and more than 140000000 people. it was previously partially administered by britain. and jose have warned that the global focus on the ukraine conflict may destroy the world from other crises. and, you know, experts had been warning of a crisis in the area for months before the start of the war in ukraine. so you failed rainy seasons, of course, the worst jobs 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. we export, the situation is caused great prices to skyrockets, but russia faces problems exporting goods to global markets at the limitations on financial mechanisms and goods, transportation. an associate professor at the university of south africa says that the continent has been living in a state of conflict for a long time, and that is problems shouldn't be forgotten. leave conflicts on daily basis. there

is a drive is config and backing up pretty got received 2nd week in the west and community just already by making sure that that i've gotten into bob would any longer because there was funded by the western countries . once i've been says, i knew because to be in making sure that i was in place on issues fitted into funding situation so that that be just fine. but they didn't dive into 5 in july and support from the board is why they've been doing is to give more debt for it to don't kind of give them money as content. and also because there's not one on the market, it's in time to make that put this there with them on the united

kingdom is buying soviets and russian made weapons to give to ukraine. the british defense minister reported to reveal the news to journalist during a visit to washington than while his claim to both u. k. u. s. were providing such weapons as it was the most effective way to help ukraine minister said 23 countries do have stocks of roofs and equipment written is providing more than one point. $6000000000.00. an additional ministry support and a key f. another $5040.00, excuse me, $1000000000.00 from the u. s. has temporarily been blocked by us sen, former us marine and geopolitical analysts. brian build a ticket, gave us his take on the issue. it's an almost an acknowledgment that this process of sending western arms to ukraine in the middle. busy of this crisis is, is not working, is not going to make a difference and that to have what's left of the ukrainian military flight most effectively. and they're going to have to find more equipment that they actually

know how to use the west has even admitted that they're reaching the limits of what they are able to transfer over to ukraine. again, exactly like the situation in syria where the west and its regional allies. why did the country with weapons and those weapons ended up? i mean, some people will even say it was so obvious that it would end up in the hands of terrorist organizations that it was almost deliberate by the weapon. and the same process is going to happen in ukraine. the most unsavory groups are going to get it or transferred over unsafe re groups in the region and around the globe. finland's president's a cell phone call with joe biden, about his country's sudden desire to join the nato military alliance in the faith versus war ukraine. over he also pledged to speak to, but even preaching about the nordic countries change of position, both former german parliamentary states, secretary believe emma is not convinced that such a move could leads lasting peace in europe. is what has happened and will not be

conducive to peace in europe because it counteract what has been responsible for european security for over 70 years. helsinki has always played a very constructive row in the understanding regarding the former soviet union. and today, the russian federation that have been cut off now in favor of taking sides with washington. and of course the same applies to sweden is beyond me how this can help europe in security health. and he got along well with moscow and sweden had a high reputation of neutral country. and that means that both countries are given up their unique characteristics. and then of course is a cause for concern. on thursday, finland announced his support for joining nato as it shows a border with russia while neighboring sweden is also expected to seek membership. in the coming days in turn, russia has warranty will be forced to take retaliatory steps claiming the move threatening security. and it would cause serious damage to relations between the countries. again, believe emma believes that nato expansion to so, so both in and,

and sweden would see a divide in europe on might even out of the aspects of the cold war, we were able to live with the existing solutions in the best possible way. and there was also the chance for us to ventilate german, french, but above all european values in such a way that it had nothing to do with the native walk or the war or treaty. this went to via sweden and finland, which means that we were able to live with it in the most difficult times when you look at it today and ask yourself why this consequence is now pending. then of course you have to say no, it does not serve european security. what we are currently experiencing is the division of europe along the fault lies between the russian federation and nato. and you can only feel sick when you look at the perfection and perfidy with which this has been pursued. latvian member of the european parliament, tatiana don arc, has been released as have been detained on friday, to protest against demolition of

a war memorial to soviet soldiers in the countries capital, reger now the politician, had reportedly been urging demonstrators to go home after police had been told to take a 0 tolerance approached the protest. that's after the latvian government reportedly began preparing to demolish the war memorial. moscow in turn has condemned the decision. sydney defies any reasonable explanation. it's a fused latvia of being the most aggressive. russ phobic, ally of the you and nato, yet in chief of what make lot via revealed more about the day's events we, j. d, shuttle events of made the 10th showed that the police did not intend to judge old ab 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 justify genocide. this is the article that in principle, hangs out of any person who says something positive about the russian authorities and the conduct 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 hominy party, learned from the police, that there would be 0 tolerance for all those who had gathered. the hominy 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 inform them about the cancellation of the rally. but she was detained. crowds said to gathered in the town hall square to protest against the statues potential demolition. it came after the live in parliament passed a bill of suspending and agreements with russia on the preservation of 2nd world war monuments. protest is also demanded the right to express their opinion for you . they are to like, every person has the right to speak them on rocks. and these demonstrations not minding the fact that the police are i think every person, no morning. the fact the police pushed us all away. i really hope that this comes

to an end. and a good way, i really hope that people will have their free speech back in my country. we have free speech. i know you said i was a blind spot. that you've been a while after the last protest which was held on may the 10th $23.00 investigations have been launched into some of those who gathered at the memorial or to be outraged by the removal of flowers which were laid in honor of this week's victory day commemorations. now, one of the cases was brought against a young man while carrying a russian flag. we spoke to his mother to get more details. that is still the same as your cleaning. 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 non of may my, some of the police officers wanted the russian flag was banned and loved via they said it was on may the 8th and nuns, but on may the town. it was not on my did toms 2 police officers approached alexander and asked him to put the flag away after a long conversation they apologized aloud, my son, go then alex on the late flowers and candles, and one hour later he was detained. o 2 flats have been searched on my hard drive and seen kyle with taken. my son, his trust now was close. now the tensions of merged after authorities used bulldoze is to clear the flowers brought by locals to the monuments for the men, the 9th day commemorations. in response, people brought even more flowers to the sides with police than completely blocking off the area. now riggers being one of the most vocal critics of moscow is actions in ukraine and the editor in chief of sputnik b. again, believe there's no justification for such aggressive actions from the authorities law who is naturally nothing can just fine. explain such

a reaction to people such repression to which they now subjected. on the other hand, latvia is always at the forefront of old western trends. and if there is now a trend towards the abolition of everything russian in latvia is leading this movement, the russian speaking minority of the past 20 years has already been so down tron, 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 re get 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, said 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 to day try to come to the regus city hall, 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 kristen russia has become unbearable. the atmosphere in latvia for

a russian speaking person is very difficult. when i say your bang of the day to the latest from around the world, do you feel free to have thought he dot com for more stories minus b to scott's? and he's been great to have you with us. thank you for watching. ah ah

ah ah ah ah, if anybody's been trapped in an elevator, 20 minutes could be pretty long time right and a load trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes. not knowing

what's gonna happen, not knowing where you are. suits of sensory deprivation. ugh, figler that is your life. i plenty visits about an hour. not at all. yeah. the intercom is nothing i was trying to get you out. i was keeping you in is your communication? oh, i think sistant who ah ah, a more of the building. mm . more on turn begins with,

but it does not in. it will not. and until every terrorist group of global reach has been found. stopped and defeated. ah, i think you lost more in the warranty. so you know, a comparison decline, resort to torture, and i think it gives them the illusion of mastery and dominance and control by torturing essentially we blind ourselves. but we could in fact create a democratic society which actually has consistently valuable and effective techniques to fight terror. the fact that we don't is more an expression of our.
