ah, ah ah, us continues to spend billions of military support to ukraine despite the highest inflation in the country in 40 years. so americans are not happy that their needs are being post loss push awards, finland's admission to nate. so, and the resulting end of its miniature neutrality is a mistake, which would heavily damage relations between the 2 countries in intensive might supply. as soon as on wednesday, the launch is special coverage focused on the unfold. stories of ukrainian refugee through for russia claim and they were given little help to escape the conflict. we're not afraid to leave for another country. we are afraid to stay here. we are afraid that they will start showing. here we have small children. we are afraid for

the safety of our children. we want some kind of stability and residents of done yet can look guns, take part in big today's celebrations as a more peaceful life slowly returns to cities in the dawn bus to get the being on the front line with welcome to the weekly here on our international moneys, peter scotts, and these are some of the stories that shape the week. now we start with the latest on the war in ukraine, multiple residential areas in the done. yes. republic came on the incense shutting by ukrainian troops on saturday. one woman suffered shrapnel wounds and was taken to hospital while the 19000 people were evacuated from high risk areas of ukraine and the dumbass republic. yesterday, according to the russian, m. o. d. and the united nations high commissioner for refugees reported that over 6000000 people had left ukraine since the beginning of the conflict. and whether you pull russian on the net republic joint. new services are beginning

reconstruction efforts in the devastates of city. and on the outskirts of mary, you pulled the stunned off over the as of stolid steel factory. it continues the russian defense ministry as once again states. and the ukrainian fights is, can lead the facility and a guarantee to humane treatments. if they lay down their arms, the forces of little ganske people's republic took control of a major chemical industry facility in the region this week, a correspondence from our sister channel lottie, our big census. this report that we're now in the industrial zone in the vicinity of the city of rebecca. this is the zari i 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 cell plant and more useful. but as we can see now, this very large territories under the full control of the united forces law, nato advisors coordinated the defense of this plat. 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 is what we have recordings of representatives of the nato block here in particular, americans can adams in just one plant. the crystal facility we recorded 7 americans who remained on ukrainian soil forever. see that we also recorded sniper groups from canada, snipers, which is a red dozens of fortify childers lakita done to ground. some of them have 3 floors . these shelters were used by the cranium military during the battles had the zodiac 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, and mcclay. i live in that aluminum, there are many ne to trophies that will now be used in the battles for several and yet, and least charter school teachers, fellowship were at the settling,

asked mrs. shelves, not about that as leading the next battles of several dong. it's and lisa chance to sort of, we squeezed him all out of don. yes, the, they were battles here and we pushed out the special forces who held this place were due on the combined forces continued their 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 us are gone ha, dia r t look, ask. surging inflation is cause in deep economic woes in us. but despite that, washington's still been dissing out billions and relief funds. so country on the side of the globe, much to this may of some hot hits american citizens. now it's led to accusation that washington is in fact putting america last. well, that's certainly the arguments of republican sentence at rand pole who this week blocked a speedy votes on a new $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine. we cannot save ukraine by doing the u. s. economy and 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, so the us expenditure on aids, ukraine is now close to $14000000000.00. more than half of this amount has gone on defense on the white house funds to send yet more money to the country. admitting that the vast majority of the new package will also go a military assets pence, again, the spokesperson, john kirby says, a new package of age must be passed quickly by may 19th to avoid any interruptions . many americans are struggling to meet their basic needs as the annual inflation rates in the country remains close to a 40 year high. the producer price index, which tracks how much money factors get for products and their initial sale rose 11 percent from a year ago. according to the bureau of labor statistics, while the american automobile association reports the prices on gasoline of increased by over 30 percent over 40 percent on diesel sees rachel blevins has more . all 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. this congress refused to approve around $10000000.00 in cobit 19 relief funding for americans. previously, i had recommended the congress take over due action on much needed funding for cova 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 in covey, really for american 2nd, was done more makers, openly saying that ukraine 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 approach as they are voicing their frustrations on social media. with the 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 is this all about? just think about when i was hungry, you fed me in the gospel of matthew. okay, well 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 which 6 states saying that more than half of their supply is out of stock. all of this as prices continue to store with reports from april, showing that inflation in the us remains at 40 your high

domestically in the u. s. the march inflation report 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 to move out of major cities in search of more affordable life. while it was just weeks ago, the bite and warned of a global food prices, he announced new sanctions against russia. here in the us, food shortages have started to become a reality. as food banks 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 the 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 its 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, 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 d. me, a putin has worn finland, joining nato. it would be an error that would harm relations with russia. the president is critical of fillings, abandonment of his tradition,

policy of military neutrality. and the 2 presidents held a phone call in which they discuss bilateral relations. putin stressed that russia does not suppose a threat to finland, finish president, though informed the russian lead to the situation had changed since russia attacked ukraine, and therefore his country, it will probably apply for nato membership as soon as this wednesday. meanwhile, the russian foreign minister as the country before state mythology steps, to force threats to his national security and then shed along border with russia and up until now held military neutral states. so the level of claim, the west is now waging a total hybrid war against moscow. lithium is up with number be of 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 everyone will feel the consequences, without exception, we did everything to avoid a direct collision. but as the challenge has been presented, we of course accepted western politicians of course,

need to understand that their attempts to isolate our country are doomed. further reproach meant without allies beyond the former golden 1000000000, is an absolutely inevitable process, and it is over mutual nature. and we, the united states, china and everyone else understand that today the question has been decided whether the world or the will become truly fair democratic and public centric, or whether the small group of countries will be able to impose on the international community. a new 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 was expansion was one of the red lines which was emphasized by russia price, the ukraine conflicts, and despite a legit promises from nato back in the ninety's that it wouldn't move another eastward. the block has been steadily expanding in recent decades. but it's like moscow concerns moved by finan suite and he's be 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. let's go analysts miles, hernon believes nato expansion is usually beneficial to the us. us is a military empire. and part of 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. and made it iraq, how and when, after afghanistan. and there was no legitimate reason for either of those wars, but there were plenty of natural resources that the u. s. one and part of the 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 isn't 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 security council dmitri media is going to g 7. countries would rather quote, continue a proxy war with russia, instead of dealing with issues in their own countries. dmitri media give statements came as the foreign ministers of the g 7 group in germany, and the collective statements. the g 7 nation said they will not recognize that done yet. and luc guns, republics, independence, majority of claims that can only be resolved by the people living in those areas. g 7 foreign ministers also called for china to stop allegedly helping moscow avoid sanctions on providing military support. the country is also pledged to coach

reliance on russian energy supplies and imposed for the sanctions. academic and independent journalists. jason, michael, believe such statement show the balance of power shifting. this statement of non recognition about the shifting of borders is something we saw on build up of course, to world war one. it's something that led into the, the alliance shaping and world war 2. so yeah, it's a familiar thing. and the familiarity of it should reminders of just how dangerous this situation can be. and this happens when we, how fac, reshaping of the balance of power. we are, we're 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. the guardian newspaper is calling for the assets of the fox news owner. we put murdock to be frozen of quotes. his presents is a pushing else of russian propaganda lines or creating their own lives for russia to use these. caleb morphin. dig deeper into how the u. s. treats those who are against the mainstream narrative. while mainstream media in western countries seems to be marching almost in a lock step behind the u. s. state department, there are only a few notable outliers on cable news in the united states. it's tucker carlson. but we know now that the warn you crate is certainly not about helping ukrainian people, those poor people. many more ukraine civilians will die. certainly, thanks to the by the ministrations policies. if you want to save you crane, it's people, it's infrastructure, it's nation. you would push for

a settlement. now you would have done it 2 months ago, but they're not doing that. they projected out of hand. so that's not their goal saving ukraine is just not buying the war propaganda. plus he's opposing censorship on alternatives to mainstream media, saying americans have the right to hear the other side of the story if we're going to protect democracy, that should start at home. and democracy is defined literally defined by the tolerance of the regime for descent. but notice sent as a lab, so they pulled r t off the airways and can, so you would expect that mainstream media would disagree with him, call him up putin puppet, blah, blah, blah. but that's not all they want that channel that hosts him fox news to be shut down. they stated fox news owner, rupert murdoch, should have his assets frozen. this is the guardian. if the west could find the courage would order an immediate freeze of rupert murdoch's assets, his fox news, prisoners, and rushes propaganda are so inter mashed that separate in the 2 as,

as impossible as on baking a cake. arbitrary sanctions have already been imposed on all kinds of russians, but they say it's now time to take things further. go after western media corporations that tell the other side of the story, treat them as enemy combatants murdock booths russian morale and undermines ukrainian resolve. i supplying a dictatorship with foreign validation, with archie being widely suppressed and with social media outlets being purged and with calls to freeze the assets of the owners of tv networks that might allow another side of the story to be heard. the question must be asked. does the west have any grounds to lecture the world about democracy and freedom of the press? it's really been pushed to the side. demonizing. russia is considered to be far more important. kayla boffin, r. t. new york journalist and author daniela's. i think the us is discouraging any disagreements with official policies, banning fox news would be a, a dramatic step,

a very radical step. that would, it would directly clash with americans if your opinions overlap with those of the kremlin that you are immediately branded a russian agent. so this whole attempt to accuse anyone who die sense from the war as a foreign agent is itself for the attempt to shut down this sent in general. as an attempt to, to impose conformity to discourage disagreement with official policy. to scare people into silence. and actually it is working, they're afraid to criticize whitehouse policy. if they do, they could lose their job. their friends could turn on them. they could suffer in various ways. and this is quite serious. there's been another must shooting in the us. it's the $198.00 in the country so far this year, which have collectively claimed the lives of $210.00 people. that's according to the gun violence archive which trucks mass killings. heavily armed 18 year old

gunman killed 10 people at the buffalo grocery store in new york state. and the fact that he lived streamed on camera authorities said buffalo police commissioner, joseph grammar come uglier. said the gunman who was wearing a helmet and tactical gear was arrested. the attack, according to police, most of the victims were black. meanwhile, in another incidents, at least one man has been shot at the food markets in the sense of los angeles. police say the shooter remains at large on an investigation is ongoing. more than 1000000 ukrainian civilians have fled to russia to escape the war with local authorities, providing them supplies unpractical support. that's despite you. creating governments claims that refugees are being forcibly relocated, and especially reports. we hear from somebody who have headed east, the refuge in russia. throughout the past 8 years,

keith made an example out of the de next and logan's credence every civilian can and will be at target. mm. ah. e, she nationally, we can meet illegally. my next if you move it to me, my, when i did the school, did you catch except you, when they couldn't see anything valera with one of the latest tragedies came just short of 2 months ago when a ukrainian ballistic missile hit the city of dynette. dozens of people cave considers its own citizens perished. mm i

i believe with many like this family from the frontline town, a resume which is now under the russian control. drew very explicit conclusions out of all this. now we are not afraid to leave for another country. we are afraid to stay here. we are afraid that they will start selling here. we have small children . we are afraid for the safety of our children. we want some kind of stability caves propaganda. machine is spinning in overdrive spearing out one fake after another. some as preposterous and outrageous as claiming the russians booby trapped dead bodies. all this misinformation eventually misfired and seated even more mistrust. he didn't, he did not believe what ukrainian television says. we know that we used to live together russia and ukraine. in addition,

many of our families are mixed both russian and ukrainian. i do not think russia should be feared. i am soviet in my identity. the children are also brought up that there is nothing to fear in the russian people. for us february 23rd is still defender of the fatherland day and may, 9th is still victory day. we still celebrate, just like we used to in their pursuit to paint russians grotesquely. evil ukraine's in for war battalions tried so hard. they went completely overboard. yet i have never been to russia, but i have friends and relatives. i am not afraid to go there. i scare here, ah, before we go, let's bring you some highlights of this year's victory day celebrations, recalling the memory of those who lost their lives. fighting against naziism in world war 2. ah.

with a more peaceful life, slowly returning to cities in ukraine and don bass now in control of joint russian done. yes, no guns forces fireworks for the 9th of may. celebrations replaced from blind shelling. so the ukranian cities of young gun and egg dar, where russian forces are currently positioned joined in the commemoration for the 1st time in many years. residents of the dumbass cities of done yet no guns also took part in the festivities. one day lou guns city was renamed vara, she'll have grad, it's soviet name, falling a public initiative locals were also able to attend an exhibition of arm sees

during the latest fighting against ukrainian nationalists. a commemoration was also held in the southern ukrainian city of have 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 continued resistance 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 for the mid puts in praise the immense sacrifice made by the soviet people some 27000000 lost their lives in the great patriotic war. he also drew some parallels between the past and the current conflicts in ukraine. so megan, yes, no, 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 immediately. it was becoming more and more dangerous with every passing day in russia prevented this facility. 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 lesson of the 2nd world war, so that there is no place in the world for executioners punish and not aim low. it abuse both amid the ukraine conflicts and the resulting anti russian sentiment is spread throughout much the world. the soviet contribution to the victory over narcissism in world war 2 is funny itself overlooked as the conflicts in ukraine goes on.

western countries have been trying to twist sutton, positive history, especially the role of the soviet union in fighting fascism and naziism. the 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 andy 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 their words. 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 attempts at 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 19391941 seems nowadays from butcher merrier. pull car, cough and other ukrainian cities show that russian soldiers over the past 10 weeks have perpetrated atrocities against civilians in ukraine. some articles have given

space when you 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 have even accused the soviet union of being an ally of the nazis by cherry, picking specific episodes out of a much bigger historical context. put in life sarcuse, 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 than that says launched a surprise attack on the ussr. in june, 1941, the, 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 cancelled. mostly from so we hear that lately, the west, there are more and more warts that the documents signed by the soviet 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. but if i give them with those the new stories, the shape, the we care on, ot see for more and any of them do have a thought c dot call manon telegram channel on his pizza. scott, be back again in around 30 minutes time. ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic development only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk a little bit in the ground skill was

a book with this point with her just she's mark machine, your 1st symbolic. you might be a sub with us to log in with me, but you still have to pre, you're still not gotten it. can you let me put mr. muddy will put it on, but i am open. was closed for a critical unit watching apartment. i'm just reaching.
