information governance board chief claims. she's trustworthy enough that it uses post fronting a barrage of anger online with moscow to the world. this is our team to national peter scotts and we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict. and i'll see crew has come under shelf. i in the done yes, republic to come, men have been injured and are now in the hospital. well, get out the proper lip of ikea, the properly butler. i run a da 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 claimed the shells looks unfounded, like a grudge rocket launcher liniment, griffin 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 build a little much all of you know, proposal 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. if we didn't run in time, we wouldn't have survival tail choke. and now do you pull russian under net 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 finance republic and ukraine with water and humanitarian aid. as fighting continues to be as of steel, fight to be on the outskirts of multiple attempts or be made to return some semblance of normal life to the devastates at 50 boats,

individual threat still remain as many unexploded munitions life scattered around ortiz egos done a sentence his report from a local power station that's currently being cleared by a stop is brigade. so the sap is 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 there. well, apparently it was a false alarm. so we can still safely move 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 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 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 of me nearing a house. but the d 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 line 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 that over with sounds of blood from the eyes of star 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 canon aids both day and night. but some of these blas actually sounds of approaching piece, 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. finding the seal ache when it's not finding to see sexual very things when you see what her people being killed. and you are very weird feeling to be honest, but it's like the support knowledge and all signs of extremist views have featured in a number of western media reports during the war. but given little comments, for example, the b, b. c. 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 an attendee wearing another s s 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 soldier. it has shown a complete incapacity for any kind of critical thought. it is at normalization of, of anti russian violence and it's very dangerous. it's threatened in terms of violence against russian individuals in europe or america. violence is spreading and the corporate media are supremely irresponsible in 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. dollars in january in this comes as moscow required exports to sell foreign currency and trade partners to pay for energy imports in roubles, ortiz, roma costs ref 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 collective 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. dollars 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 sanction 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 prefer to trade rather than get involved in the sanctions game for political reasons. moscow now demands that all payments are made in rubles 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 as 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 rushes economy is in shambles. you to the factions, war all indicators, points of the fact that moscow seemed 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 for 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 way expecting the 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 base discrimination against russia. they were aiming at russia, but not really achieving that. but actually if you look at the logic behind this, the sanctions, it is essentially sanctions imposed by the u. s. on europe to heard the european

economy. and they're not really sanctions to heard russia, which is very difficult to do when you all know the largest economy, the largest country in the world, and, and one of the largest economies that spam from europe, asia that is able to trade with the entire world in 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 tar thousands of palestinians took part in mourning for the journey. she lost her life. a recent wave of tension is how those events unfolded.

who's a quick warning now you may find some of the falling images disturbing this foot. it shows the moments after the al jazeera journalist was killed during an israeli army rate in the town of jenin. but a steady north towards he's on the tv on the self to blame is ready. so just for the journalist, death is just said 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 mari reports from the funeral letters tax from journalists are taking place, had 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 in jerusalem. it hasn't happened for decades and may be the 1st time we see so solemn funeral. in the news of the us been for this information governance board chief, nina young colvin is claiming that the trustworthy verified people like herself should be given the power to edit or the users post on twitter and even add some background info. like on wikipedia i am eligible where 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. 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 it's dissolution, came in the board will have

a chilling effect on freedom of expression. and many twits uses agree with this point of view as well. some of them have been thing about the proposal to let's verify, uses edits of the people's posts. you couldn't have picked a worse minister of truth the nina yankovic 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 a bite. and you disinformation both have nina, younger of it hasn't shown herself to be crazy enough already. she now states that she wants to verify twitter users like herself to edit other peoples to ease. this woman is dangerous, and unhinged. the executive director of hyphenated america crystal harris says that 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 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 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 invalidate 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 and ukraine. so you failed rainy seasons, of course, the west 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 most stations 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 there is problems shouldn't be forgotten. leave conflict on daily basis. there is a dr. barton creek. we see if

we can nowhere them come in, you just already arrive by making sure that that i've gotten into bob would any longer because that was funded by the western county was i've been says, i knew the cost of the in in making sure that i was in place on issues into funding and that you'll be just fine. but again, darling to let me log in southport from there. well, what is it? why do we, is to give more debt for us to don't trying to give them money, especially our content. and also because there's not one on the market. it's in the mid that, 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 report to the, revealed the news to journalist during a visit to washington. then while his claim to both the u. k in the us were providing such weapons as it was the most effective way to help you. crane minister said $23.00 countries do have stocks of russian equipment written is providing more than $1600000000.00. an additional military 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 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 fight most effectively. and they're going to have to find more equipment that they actually

know how to use the west as 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 on savory groups are going to get it or transferred over on safe re groups in the region and around the globe. finland's presidents has held a phone call with joe biden about these countries that sudden desire to join the nato military alliance in the face of versus warn ukraine over. he also pledged to speak to, but even preaching about the nordic countries change of position. both form a german parliamentary state secretary believe emma is not convinced that such a move could lead to lasting peace in europe. is sir, in what has happened and will not be conducive to peace in europe because it

counteracts for has been responsible for european security for over 70 years. helsinki has always played a very constructive role in the understanding regarding the former soviet union. and today, the russian federation that has 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 healthy europe in security. helsinki got along well with moscow and sweden had a high reputation of neutral country, and that means that both countries are given of their unique characteristics. and then of course, is a cause for concern. on thursday, finland announced his support for joining nato as it shares a border with russia while neighboring sweden is also expected to seek membership. in the coming days, in turn, russia has warned a will be forced to take with salutary steps, claiming the move threatened security, and it would cause serious damage to relations between the countries. again, believe emma believes that nato expansion in to so, so both in and,

and sweden would see a divide in europe. us, man, even other, the aspects of the cold war. we were able to live with the existence solutions and the best possible way. and that 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 there was 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. a latvian member of the european parliament, tatiana donald, has been released as have been detained on friday to protest against demolition of a war memorial to soviets soldiers in the countries capital,

reger now the politician had reportedly been urging demonstrators to go home after police have 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 said he 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 sputnik latvia, revealed more about the day's events we did you shuttle the events of may, the 10th showed that the police did not intend to judge 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 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 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 love in parliament passed a bill of suspending agreements with russia on the preservation of 2nd world war monuments. protest is also demanded the right to express their opinion freely. i feel like every person has the right to speak them on rocks. and these demonstrations not minding the fact that a police or i think every person, no morning, the fact the police pushed us all away. i really hope that this comes to an end in

a good way. i really hope that people will have their free speech, a vacuum icons. we have free speech. i know you said i was a boy that i know the real good. well, after the last process 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 to see me. 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. they said it was on may the 8th and none, but on may the town it was not on may the tom's 2 police officers approached alexander and asked him to put the flag away. after 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 slots have been searched on my hard drive and seen kyle would take my son. his trust now was cause. now the tensions of merged off to authorities used bulldoze is to clear the flowers brought by locals to the monuments the main, the 9th, the today commemorations. and response people brought even more flowers to the sides with belief 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 what need be again, leave. there's no justification for such aggressive actions from the authorities. law who is naturally nothing can just find, explain such

a reaction to people such repression to which they now subject it. 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 latvian 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, 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, what did they try to come to the regal 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 crisen, russia has become unbearable. the atmosphere in latvia for

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

ah, lisa hunter, russian state little never. i've side as i phone and the most. i'm steve asking him knocking his house once and up with 50000. it's been okay 09 is provided with speedy. when else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin, the media machine, the state on russia today, and school ortiz spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all branded on youtube and pinterest tele to school nutrition. did you think it was with

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, there was a pretty consistent cut out front for c i a, 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 that's, it's maybe mom i just don't think they do it

might play out spectacularly in the military. so the connections would be much further down the road. it would be particularly in the iraq war and in the setting up of get mo and all of that. and by the time you get to 2001, it's already this cultural artifact. and so it is going to be picked up by by anyone for any purpose. mm. mm. in kind of people who are not there because they stole they are not common criminals in their enemy. combat.
