ah, ah, the u. s. continues to spend billions of military support to ukraine despite the highest inflation, the country in 40 years. some americans are not happy that their needs are being lost. push a war and spins admissions and need so and the resulting end of its military neutrality is a mistake, which would heavily damage relations between the 2 countries and hinted might apply on wednesday. the launch is a special coverage folks on the on told stories of ukrainian refugees who fled to russia, claiming they were given little help to escape the conflict between it. we knew about the humanitarian corridors when you about the education, but they just didn't let us out. we, we did not leave until the last moment since they did not let us out. there was no

vacation and there was no information about evacuations. and residents of done yet little guns take part in victory days, celebrations as a more peaceful life. slowly returns to cities in the last couple years of being on the front line with you're watching the weekly here on our scenes, national money. peter scott. and these are some of the stories that shape the week . we start with the latest on the war in ukraine, multiple residential areas in the done yet republic came under intense shelling by ukrainian troops on saturday. one woman suffered a shop, no wounds or was taken to hospital. well, the 19000 people were evacuated from high risk areas of ukraine on the bus report. but yesterday, the united nations high commissioner for refugees. both of us over 6000000 people had left ukraine since the beginning of the conflict and mother you pull russian and then yes, republic, joint rescue services up mrs. stokes and efforts and the devastates of city. and on

the outskirts of mario full, they stand off over the us, off stall, steel factory, continues. the russian defense minister has once again stay to the ukrainian fights as can leave the facility under guaranteed humane treatment. if they lay down their arms, the forces of the guns people's republic to control of a major chemical industry facility in the region. this week, a correspondent from us is the channel archie, our baker, sent us this report. we are now in the industrial zone in the vicinity of the city of rebellion. this is the zara planned for the production of gunpowder, which has been spoken about a lot and was under the control of the ukrainian armed forces, well fortified by ukrainian troops. as in the case of the as of stell plant and more useful, but as we can see now this very large territories under the full control of the united forces, nato advisors coordinated the defense of this plant. dozens of foreign mercenaries, including us citizen, were killed here on the phone calls in arabic and other languages suffice. as

members were intercepted hoops. yes. well, we have recordings of representatives of the nato block here. in particular, americans cannot loans in just one plant. the crystal facility we recorded 7 americans who remained on ukrainian soil forever together. we also recorded sniper groups from canada. snipers, ski approached the red dozens of fortify childers located under ground. some of them have 3 floors. these shoulders were used by the cranium military during the battles had the z. i plant. as you can see, there are various medicines here. we can see these doors are made from green, fort steel, which protected them from artillery and shelling. this particular shelter could hold up to 150 fighters of the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries, a messiah. i live in that room. there are many ne to trophies that will now be used in the battles for several and yet, and least charter school teachers, fellowship boy, the soda. they ask mrs shells. but that was really the next battles of several don,

yet enlisted chance. we squeezed them all out of don. yes. they were battles here and we pushed out the special forces who held this place. i would do the combined forces continued there offensive to establish full control over the administrative border of the republic. and after that, they will be able to determine their own future. so what are gone had dia, r t look, ask, surging inflation is causing deep economic woes in the u. s. but despite that, washington being dishing up billions and relief funds to a country on the other side of the globe, much to this may of some hard hits american citizens. those lead occupations that washington's putting america last. well, that's certainly the arguments of republican sentence. a run poll. you this, we bought a speedy votes on a new $40000000000.00 a package for ukraine. we cannot save ukraine by dooming the u. s. economy. americans are feeling the pain. and congress seems intent only on adding to that pain by shoveling more money out the door as fast as they can. so some of us

expenditure on aids, ukraine is now close to $14000000000.00. more than half of this amount has gone on defense and the white house plans to spend yet more money to the country. missing, the vast majority of the new package will go on military assets, pentagon spokesperson, john kirby says. the new package of 8 must be passed quickly by may the 19th to avoid any interruptions. ortiz rachel blevins has more fall additions are supposed to represent the people who elect them and put their interest 1st. but many us lawmakers appear to be promoting the interest of an entirely different country. the congress refused to approve around $10000000.00 in kobe 19 relief funding for americans. previously, i had recommended the congress take over due action on much needed funding for coal . the treatments, vaccines and tests as part of the ukraine supplemental bill. however, i have been informed by congressional leaders in both parties that such an addition

would slow down action on the urgently needed ukrainian aid. so congress is making it clear that it's funding for ukraine 1st and covert really for american 2nd, was done lawmakers openly saying that you crane is their top priority. i think we all agree. the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in ukraine, while americans may not be taking the streets to approach as they are voicing their frustrations on social media. with some questioning why us politicians are voting with americans in mind. they got money for wars, but can't feed the poor no matter how bad things may seem, we can always count on our government to have an extra multi 1000000000 dollar check laying around to prolong a war on the other side of the planet. for those who are concerned about the actions of their elected representatives, how figure nancy pelosi suggest taking a sort of biblical approach. so when you're home thinking, what does this all about?

just think about when i was hungry, you fed me in the gospel of matthew. okay, but in this case, who is feeding americans and more specifically, their children, more than $10000.00 across the country are reporting shortages of baby formula with 6 states saying that more than half of their supply is out of stock. all of the prices continue to store with reports from april, showing that inflation in the us remains at 40 year high. domestically in the u. s. the march inflation reports showed that food prices for home consumption were up 10 percent year over year. that's the largest increase we've seen in our a 40 year period. those storing prices for some americans move out in major cities in search of more affordable life. while it was just weeks ago, the biden warrant of a global food crisis is he announced new sanctions against russia. here in the us, food shortages have started to become a reality as food things across the country report increased demand from the

americans who can't afford the prices at the grocery store. and it's not just the us in the u. k. a recent study found more than 2000000 adult say they can't afford to eat every day. the prices continue to store with even the bank of england predicting that inflation will hit 10 percent this year. meanwhile, prince charles, adjust the crisis well, lavishly sitting on a golden throne in a golden room with lots of golden accessories. her majesty's government priority is to grow and strength from the economy and help ease the cost of living for families . the u. k is also following in the footsteps of his american allies with prime minister boris johnson, boasting about sending 450000000 pounds of taxpayers money to ukraine. the opposition was quick to call him out, to out of pocket to meet the challenges of the moment too tired to cross the opportunities of the future. that time has passed. so is western politicians

continue to go above and beyond for ukraine, while their own people sing deeper into crisis? they're making it crystal clear, just what their top priorities are and what they think they can get away with, while still keeping their coveted political titles in washington. rachel blevins r t also prices accelerated further in april, which is part of a broad inflation problem persisting throughout the u. s. economy, the puter price index, which trucks, how much money factors get for the products. their initial sale is up 11 percent from a year ago. according to the bureau of labor statistics, many americans are starving to meet the basic needs. the annual inflation rate in the country remains close to 40 year high and people are pointing the finger of blame straight president by did not overs perceive, failing to get the situation under control. our teeth kellum, open reports, new york, the economic data. this point is not good. the numbers indicate that the consumer

price index shows that inflation moved to had at the rate of 8.3 percent in april. now that is the highest rate of inflation the united states has had since the $970.00. this is a 40 year high. in addition to that, we also have the rate of household debt in the united states, increasing 16 trillion dollars are owed. then the new york federal reserve says that consumer demand is decreasing. people simply don't have the money to keep buying at the rate they're buy, even if they continue to go into debt. so these numbers are quite bad. here's what joe biden has to say about what's to blame. there are 2 leading causes of inflation we're seeing today. the 1st cause of inflation is a once in this century, pandemic an issue. we have a 2nd cause, a 2nd cause, mr. prudence war and ukraine. he saw we saw in march, then 60 percent of inflation that month was due to price increases at the pump for

gasoline. well, some americans are looking for yet another cause. they say that it's joe biden himself, that is responsible, and that mismanagement from his administration is causing american families to face this squeeze of rising gas prices. ready rising food prices, rising rates of debt, etc. now the polls indicate that joe biden's client. this is all just simply the fault of the pan damage simply the fault of russia has nothing to do with him. that actually doesn't seem to be bought very widely in the united states. 39 percent of americans approve of joe by much, far less than half or less than 40 percent, where it's at 39 percent approval rating for joe biden. quite low numbers. joe biden seems to insist that these hard economic times are just the things americans have to accept because of the confrontation with russia. but a lot of americans just don't seem to be buying it. not a good day for the biden administration,

rising unrest among americans and people are looking ahead to those mid term elections set for november when a new congress will be elected for washington, d. c. on staying in the u. s. at least one man has been shot at the food markets in a sense of los angeles. please say the shooter, remainder lodge, and, and investigation is ongoing. now, earlier in new york, 10 people were killed in a mass shooting at the grocery store. the mascot is been investigated as a racially motivated, hate crime. the legend government has been arrested and he was identified by police as an 18 year old white male who was live streaming the talk. he's been charged with 1st degree murder. let him have boots in, has warned finland, the joining nato. it would be an error that would harm relations with russia. the russian precedence is critical of finland's abandonment of his traditional policy of military neutrality. the 2 presidents held a phone call in which they discussed bilateral. relations vladimir putin stressed that russia does not pose a threat to finland. the finished president,

though informed the russian leader. the situation has changed since russia attacked ukraine, and therefore his country will probably apply for nato membership this wednesday. meanwhile, the russian foreign ministry says the country will be forced to take the telephone steps to stop threats to his national security. finland shares a long border with russia, and up until now held mutual military status, said gale of rav claim. the west is now waging a quote, total hybrid war against moscow. blue funeral with mom of you, the collective west has declared a total hybrid war on us. and it is difficult to predict how long it will last. but it is clear that every one will feel the consequences, without exception, we did everything to avoid a direct collision. but as the challenge has been presented, we of course, except it, western politicians of course, need to understand that their attempt to isolate our country are doomed. further reproach meant with our allies beyond the former golden 1000000000 is an absolutely

inevitable process. and it is of a mutual nature and we, the united states, china and every one else understand that today the question has been decided whether the world order will become truly fair democratic and policy centric. or whether this small group of countries will be able to impose on the international community in neo colonial division of the world, into those who consider themselves exceptional, and others who are destined to fulfill the will of the elect. no, nathan expansion was one of the red lines which was emphasized by russia prior to the ukraine conflicts. and despite alleged promises from nate, so back in the 1990, that he wouldn't move another inch eastward. the book has been steadily expanding in decades, but despite moscow's concerns, the move by finland unsweetened is being met with plenty of encouragement from the alliance. the war in ukraine is forcing our soul to make difficult decisions. but sovereign nations must be free to make those decisions without fear

or influence or threat of retaliation of this political analysts the nights of his miles. her name believes nato expansion is hugely beneficial to the u. s. b u. s. is a military, empire, and partner from the needs of an empire is to expand and take resources that it may not have on its own. we look at the middle east, how the u. s. invaded iraq, how and when, after afghanistan. and there was no legitimate reason for either those wars, but there were plenty of natural resources that the u. s. one and part of an empire is to take the resources that it can, i think is really a bottom line reason for that. so the u. s. is in, was in libya, took over that, destroyed the country. it's throughout africa and there are believe 20 more than 20

us basis in africa right now for nato. it's clearly an attempt to re colonial ised africa and other parts of the world. so really is an economic reason . there is no more reason. there's no humanitarian reason for any of this. it is pure economics, the deputy chairman of russia's security council, dmitri mid via d of has claimed g 7 countries would. rod, the quotes continue a proxy war with russia instead of dealing with issues in their own countries to meet you immediately of statements came as the foreign ministers of the g. 7 group met in germany in a collective statement. the g 7 nations said they would not recognize that done yet . st. lou guns republics independence majority of claims that can only be resolved by the people living in those areas. 274 ministers, also called for china, stop allegedly helping moscow avoid sanctions on providing military support. the country is also pledged to coach reliance on russian energy supplies,

unimposing further sanctions. academic and independent journalist jason miko. believe such statements show the balance of power shifting. this statement of non recognition about the shifting of borders is something we saw in the build up of course, to world war one. it's something that led into the, the align shaping and world war 2. so yeah, it's a familiar thing on the familiarity of it should reminders of just dangerous situation can be. and that happens when we, how fac, reshaping of the balance of power. we are in a situation where the, the unit polarity, the singular superpower status of the united states is being challenged. and of course, russia is that challenge and the deformed this is taking, is

a solidifying of the need to ally and can eastern europe. we're seeing this with and know with finland and sweden and it's happening in, in ukraine. more than 1000000 ukranian civilians have fled to russia to escape the war with local authorities. providing them supplies and practical support of despite ukrainian governments claims that refugees are being forcibly relocated. and especially reports. we hear from some who have had of east to seek refuge in russia. nothing good awaits you in russia, the message sent to ordinary ukrainians couldn't have been clearer. i appeal to our citizens who are preparing for the evacuation. today. we have just received information that the occupiers may be trying to organize their own corridor for evacuation to russia. so please be careful and vigilant. do not succumb to deceit and provocation for the ukrainian troops. it was much better if they could mingle among civilians. dozens of witnesses have been describing how the zones battalion

gives house trained neo nazis, have been actively holding them hostage. and when you just when you about the humanitarian corridors, when you about the education, but they just didn't let us out of the classes since i think when they were hiding in the 73rd house in the basement on the 1st floor who was hiding their group of not he's not, he's her. as off the cbo, they said maryville is a separatist city that we should have got what we deserved. well, sorry to little girl said the, this is my house as of militants burnt it when didn't ask, forces advanced, some did manage to escape key of control territories and the flea to rush up like a lorna here while she wasn't held back in ukraine at gunpoint like many, she says the authorities were deliberately keeping them in the dark about evacuation options. my uncle dan until 2nd week, the, when the conflict begin on february 24th, we did not leave until the last moment since they did not let us out. there was no

vacation and there was no information about evacuations. luckily, we did not understand that we could evacuate at all, and then it became clear that there was an opportunity to move somewhere when some kind of communication was restored. we didn't have that communication at all before . i contacted a friend and she cried with joy that we were alive. so she took matters into her own hands and headed to russia. a place ukrainian major cools literally nothing else than more due itself. but she found something else that entirely no ukrainian troops held them. we did not see a single ukrainian volunteer, and the 1st aid we received was from the next volunteers. we didn't need help with evacuation. we arrived to the russian refugee center ourselves, volunteers medicine the border and offered us water and food, even our animals. and while there's no place like home alone, i can definitely see her future in the small russian port city. she's in right now or so i would like to return to see the city restored. i would return to normal

life, but maybe here and talking to rog, i can find something of value for myself and feel at home. no wonder if i should go back home. over in shall anchor ongoing protests over the country's economic collapse turned violent this week. after 9 people were killed and several buildings set on fire. the largest city, colombo shortage is ac supplies, including food. notice they have been reported throughout the country as prices continue to spike. people turned on the military after spending more than 12 hours . humans get cooking gas, but we're left and $200.00 and you government is set to be formed on the 16th of may. the president house, called for peace on the streets, will also giving orders to try to shoot anyone who instigates violence over protest is, are demanding the president's resignation over what's been called the worst economic crisis in the country's history. and

finally, let's bring you some highlights of this year's victory day celebrations, recalling the memory of those who lost their lives, fighting as nuts as in world war 2. ah. with a more peaceful life, slowly returning to cities in ukraine and don bass now in control of george washington. yet new guns forces fireworks for the 9th of may, celebrations replaced frontline, sharing with the southern ukrainian cities of johnston and a good dog where russian forces are currently positioned joined in the commemoration for the 1st time in many years. residence of the dumbass cities of done yes, and no guns also took part in the festivities. for one day,

gun city was renamed as vara, she'll of grot, it's soviet name following a public initiative, locals were also able to attend. an exhibition of arm sees during the latest fighting against ukrainian nationalists. immigration was also held in the southern ukrainian city of kept song where hundreds took part in the immortal regiment march . it was the 1st time that the major commemoration could take place in the city. since the russian military establish control more than a month ago, amid continue existence from ukrainian forces and over in russia, the largest military parade traditionally took place in moscow during the day to day speech on red square. but the med puts in praise the immense sacrifice made by the soviet people. some 27000000 lost their lives in the great patriotic war. they also do some parallels between the past and the current conflicts in ukraine. so megan, you know,

not system everything pointed to the fact that the clash against new knotty followers that the united states and their satellites put a stake on was something that had to happen eagerly. it was becoming more and more dangerous with every passing day in russia. prevented this hostility, we had to do this, it was timely and it was the only right thing to do. it was the decision of a strong sovereign, an independent country. was your fighting for your homeland and its future to ensure that no one forgets the lessons of the 2nd world war. so that there is no place in the world for executioners punish hers and nazi la bullet ah mm

. but amid the ukraine conflicts and the resulting anti russian sentiment is spread throughout much of the world, the soviet contribution to the victory over nuts as mobile to is fun is self overlooked. has the conflicts in ukraine goes on? western countries have been trying to twist certain positive history, especially the road of the soviet union in fighting fascism and naziism, desecration, or demolition of soviet era. monuments and cemeteries has been taken to a new level, getting rid of soviet symbols as the responsibility of all local administrations. there are about 60 places on our list where such symbolism needs to be removed. moscow has repeatedly condemned walsall calling on it not to follow the lead of radical politicians. this is not the 1st time we have come across such a shameful phenomenon. the war against soviet monuments and poland. everything that is happening in poland now is happening in violation of bilateral borges and the

norms of civilized communication. traditional tokens of awareness have not escaped detention either. the st. george's ribbon, a case symbol in russia and abroad and use for commemorating world war 2 east in front veterans has been banned in moldova. the president said the ribbons place is in the trash can of history of the western politicians are also not mincing. that was when it comes to comparisons between the conflict and ukraine and world war 2. every russian has learned about the siege of leningrad during world war 2. sadly, history has repeated itself, but now it's the russian government cruelly starving ukrainian cities taking 2 completely different situations, including them together. one that involves starving a city into submission. the other that has attempted humanitarian corridors and a deliveries. and the western media has been going even further in trying to draw historical parallels. the red army engaged in branford atrocities and massacres during its occupation of a some poland finn and other european countries. in 1939. 1941 seems nowadays

from boucher maria pull car, cough and other ukrainian cities show that russian soldiers over the past 10 weeks has perpetrated atrocities against civilians in ukraine. some articles have given space for new interpretations of victory day as rushes who on ukraine continues. the day will take on you, meaning it's very much about galvanizing support for russia, the present and showing off the strength of rushes, military forces us diplomats of even accused the soviet union of being an ally of the nazis by cherry, picking specific episodes as of a much bigger historical context, put in lice accuse his victims of b, nazis. but it's important to remember that in 1939, that's a germany on the soviet union, son and non aggression pact, only after the knots is launched. a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941 d, the soviet union joined the anti nasa struggle. all of this makes not just

a revision of the outcome of world war 2 and the bloody sacrifices of the soviet people. they've been canceled me system muslim functional we hear that lately in the west. there are more and more warts that the documents signed by the savvy to tell terry regime which consolidate the results of the 2nd world. war should no longer be carried out. the results of the 2nd world war, as well as the sacrifices made by our people on the altar of victory over nazis, our sacred note. but if i give them those, the new stories, the shape, the weak hair on odds, hints national for more on any of them do head over thoughts. he dot com minus peter scott's my be back again with another look in 30 minutes. thank you for watching. ah oh let's say is the

18th book for just like his predecessor, he's a fan of the movie to pull it up from see and they may have to wait for a normalization on the only see russia relations why the need. so because they are knowledge, the fact that the west can not to be very pretty surmise. again, the west diesels to the west and through the post critics young ever with

a, with a phone number with grandma. but a lot of them bought a wall with .
