[000:00:00;00] ah ah, us continues to spend billions on military support to ukraine despite the highest inflation in the country and 40 years. americans are not happy that their needs are being lost. a launch is special coverage, focus on the on coal stories of ukrainian refugees. if lead to russia claiming 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 shelling 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 fe parts in victor day celebrations as

a more peaceful life. slower for to cities in the dumbass, lots of years and being on the front line with welcome to the weekly here on our see international monitors, peter scott, and these are the stories that shaped the week. we start with the latest on the war in ukraine, multiple residential areas in the done. yes. republic came under intense shelling by ukrainian troops on saturday. one woman suffered shrapnel wounds. i was taken to the hospital while the 19000 people were evacuated from high risk areas of ukraine on the done boss republic yesterday. that's according to the russian m. o. d. and united nations high commissioner for refugees reported over 6000000 people had left ukraine. since the beginning of the conflict in murder, you pull russian under yes. republic, joint rescue services are beginning reconstruction efforts in the devastated city. and on the outskirts of murder,

you pulled the stunned off over there. i was off stalls, steel, sightsee continues. there are some defense minister has once again states that ukrainian fight is can leave the facility under guaranteed humane treatment. if they lay down their arms. the forces of little guns people's republic took control of a major chemical industry facility in the region this week. and the correspondent from us as the tunnel oxy arabic centers. this report that we're now in the industrial zone in the vicinity of the city of rebellion. this is desiree 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 stell plant and maria poor. but as we can see now, this very large territory is under the full control of the united force of the 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, who she is. what we have recordings of representatives of the nato block here in

particular, americans can add those in just one plans in the crystal facility. we recorded 7 americans who remained on ukrainian soil forever. see that we also recorded sniper groups from canada, snipers cube to which the read dozens of fortify childris located underground. some of them have 3 floors. these shelters 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. ha ha. this particular shelter could hold up to 150 fighters of the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries . alma clay, elephant women, there are many ne to trophy, so that will now be used in the battles for several and yet, and least charter school systems fellowship where the settling is. chrissie shelves much about the wrestling. the next battles of several dong it's and lisa chance to sort of, we squeezed him all out of dawn. yes, larry,

they were battles here and we pushed out the special forces who held this place. so where do i let the combined forces continue 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 us are gone ha, dia r t look ask, are the nazi cru came on the shelf? i and the done yes republic earlier this week to come and were injured, unannounced hospital it all happened at the petrol station in the city of duck, which i asked in the sense of the dentist republic. every one who was there had been running for cover at a nearby store. one man was hit in the head by shrapnel and died on the spot. busy rhythm used to move, we were standing here in this place and heard the explosion. we broke away from this place ran to the gas station building, and a shell flew to this place where we was standing before. there was also

a van there which was destroyed by fire, we decided before it designated to move away neighboring cause to avoid further fire. good magazines fail this van that was standing in front of the store. it saved us because it took the main blow, and only the fragments of the shell reached us. an elderly man was running ahead of us, but he hesitated, lingered on the threshold. and because of this, we didn't have time to run inside that right away. the shrapnel runs right through him, he fell on the threshold of this last was as soon as the wheat it did not come in. we literally flew in because we were thrown inside by the blast wave there. we crawled under the counter. the 1st thought was, wow, a shock wave. and then i realized that it was shrapnel on correspondence, saw blood and ran to get a 1st aid kit. he also tried to help a man who was lying on the doorstep, but he had an exit wound. roth, my that are now i probably have to go back, but there is still

a lot of work here. i want to show the whole world what is really happening here. surging inflation is causing deep economic woes in the us. but despite that, washington is has been dishing out billions in relief funds to country on the other side of the globe. not much to the dismay of some hard hit american citizens. now it's led to accusations that washington is putting america last. now certainly the arguments of republican senate seat run paul, this week blots a speedy vote on a new $40000000000.00 a package for ukraine. we cannot save you crane by doing 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 the u. s. expenditure on aids ukraine is now close to $14000000000.00. more than half of this amount has gone on defense and the white house funds to send yet more money to the country. i mentioned that the vast majority of the new package will also go on military assets, pentagon spokesperson, john kirby says,

a new package of 8 must be passed quickly by may 19th to avoid any interruptions. many americans are struggling to meet that basic needs as the annual inflation rate in the country remains close to a 40 year high. the producer price index, which tracks how much manufactures gets for products. their initial sale rose by 11 percent from a year ago. that's according to the bureau of labor statistics. while the american automobile association reports the prices on gasoline have increased by over 30 percent and over 40 percent on diesel ortiz, 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 do 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 in co would really for american 2nd was done law 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 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 america and more specifically, their children more than 10000 george 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 your high domestically in the u. s. the march inflation reports show 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 of major cities in search of more affordable lives. while it was just weeks ago, the bite and warrant of a global food crisis is here. now,

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 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 while 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 tax payers 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 up a future time has passed. so as the 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 more than 1000000 ukranian civilians have fled to russia to escape the war with local authorities providing them with the supplies and practical support. now if, despite the gradient governments claims that refugees are been forcibly relocated, and the special reports we heard from some who had an east seek 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. ah, ah ah, he, she nationally, we can meet only my next. if you move to neatly my, when i did the school, did you catch except you, when they quit a building cindy thinking valera system. 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 considered its own citizens perished. mm. i i don't 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 did him. 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. yet 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 there. i am not afraid you go there a scare here. ah! what next? inside the ghost town as matter you pull which enjoyed more than 2 months of intense fighting. living people there in the midst of devastation or correspondence, roman quarter of an under refill are to have been reporting from the epicenter of the battle and reveal what they witnessed on the front line. in a new documentary, you can watch the full story next hour and throughout the day who are not

international a little bit in the grand scheme, there was a new money will put me to put money will pull a most coach, a partner with well done with her which in the lower duty but as no absolute level refer to each key here,

just going over for most of you. can you hear me what the can you need both of those, you know, did you use a cable? it still could get disappointed. now to secured your stuff. okay, so we built by stripes alone. can you try this? is this focused part machine? you're a shame like any degree of michelin you do is johnny, it's bob oliver knew it was time. we'd see what, what sir. i mean, i would never go to west, you're going to probably talk with mom wor, no, doesn't put your on style and go to one. you pick lynaya. dawn is still in. grad was showing the senior real about almost armina. sheila rush has gotten clip or young i

a tina with them off shoreline corporate here globally with bush and boilers short, a rush for losing the subsidy a you can, you could you want to please if you would, would you please. it'd be like it or they took it, of course can only be dealer with a little star. you sent me a new boy. yeah, a guy a guess just

a minute. stone, mute. we moved to a motion for the mounting brush russian politician to be true. media has claimed the g 7 countries would rather quotes continue a proxy war with russia instead of dealing with issues in their own countries. it came out to the g 7 group of leading world economies say that they would continue delivering arms to ukraine for as long as it takes the g 7 also said that they would never recognize the independence of the de niro guns. republics. the former russian president claimed that would be up to the people in those areas to decide if statement came as the foreign ministers of the g. 7 group met in germany, where the country is also pledged to quote, reliance on russian energy supplies and imposed further sanctions. i could make an 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 alliance shaping and world war 2. so yeah, it's a familiar thing. and the familiarity of it should reminders of just how dangerous situation can be. and that happens when we, how fact i re shaping of the balance of power, where we're in a situation where the, the unit polarity, the singular superpower status of united states is being challenged. and of course, russia is that challenge and the deformed this is taking is a solidifying of the nato alliance in eastern europe. we're seeing this with and know with finland and sweden and it's happening in,

in ukraine. g. 7 foreign ministers also called for china to stop allegedly helping moscow avoid sanctions on providing military supports. we're calling china not to assist russia in it's were for aggression against ukraine, not to undermine sanctions, and both in russia for its attack against the sobering to end character integrity of ukraine, not to justify russian action in ukraine and to disease from engaging information manipulation. these information and other means to legitimize rushes worth aggression against ukraine. meanwhile, the european anti fake news agency started publishing and chinese. i mean to debunk false information over the war and ukraine. one of the articles contained information about biological laboratories, which back in march was accused ukraine and the u. s. of using to develop bio weapons the u vs. this info is a project aiming to track and address rushes so called disinformation campaigns

that could affect you and his member states. it also aims to help you repeat and develop resistance to media manipulation. the vice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies know from what i believe the voices of different countries should be heard. it's a lack of confidence in a sense of the west and left by the us has, has the habit of manipulating the public opinion and the way narrative be come bait. and when it comes to countries like china also wants to avoid se, up giving. it was all different, matters of people do not get used to watches, of different countries needs to be heard everywhere. and this is what countries that promotes freedom of speech. this is totally wrong. the main idea is basically to contain charles about button to as we have observed it. but this is not,

this is not right. and it's not going to be successful. we know so that we come from different cultures. of people tend to take this as a hostess, the rising of trying to as a host all act, which is wrong. and just before we go, let's bring you some highlights of this year's victory day celebrations. they recall the memory of those who lost their lives fighting and not for them in world war 2. ah. with a more peaceful life, slowly returning to cities in ukraine undone bus now in control of joint russian done yet logan's forces fireworks for the 9th of may. celebrations replaced from lines shelling

with the new cranium. a russian forces are currently positioned joined in the corporations for the 1st time in many years. residents of the dumbass cities of the next. unless guns also took part in the festivities. for one day, logan city was renamed var. she'll have got it. soviet name, falling up public initiative locals were also able to attend an exhibition of arm sees during the latest fighting against ukrainian nationalists and over in russia, the largest military parade tradition took place in moscow during the victory day speech on red square by the mere prudent praise the immense sacrifice made by the soviet people. some 27000000 people were lost in during the great party war. you also do some parallels between the past and the current conflicts in ukraine. so megan, yes,

your not says the 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 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 lesson of the 2nd world war, so that there is no place in the world for executioners punish and nazi lame bullet as

soon but amid the ukraine conflicts and the resulting anti russian sentiment is spread throughout much of the world. the soviets contribution to the victory over naziism in world war 2 is finding itself increasingly overlooked. as the conflicts in ukraine goes on, western countries have been trying to twist certain 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 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 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 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 east in poland,

finn and other european countries in 1939. 1941 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 and ukraine. some articles have given space for new interpretations of victory day as russia who on ukraine continues the day will take on new 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 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 the knots. this launch a surprise attack on the ussr. in june 1941, the the soviet union joined the anti 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. miss m mostly from so we hear that lately, 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 a message with those, the stories, the shape, the weaker on odds international from on any of them do have its r t dot com minus be discussing we back again in just 30 minutes time. mm hm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have, the creed, even foundation, let it be an arms race is offensive,

very dramatic development. only personally and get into this. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk ah ah with

ah with mm ah, the only welcome to worlds apart, the old of larger maryland is maxime show me your friends and i'll tell you who are the more relevant today, especially in the context of the war torn ukraine, not only politics, but an entire world, you can be deducted from where one sounds on the conflict. how much do these for clients influence 4 lines. well to discuss that i'm now joined by emmanuel. yes. or born italian author and political consultant. mr. p. one is good to talk to you.
