british era, the news the headline story, finland is its formal decision to join nate, so i think the altered security lay out in europe and despite decades of military neutrality and moscow is warnings of possible retaliatory measures to threat near its porters also ahead these shoulders were used by the crane and military during the battle of the zodiac plat. as you can see, there are various medicines. here are 2 reports from a key bustle zone in the ukraine, conflicts revision noise forces from the lou guns people's republic, the control of a major chemical production facility in the region. the u. s. pledges the fight right wing extremism after 10 people are killed in racially

motivated shooting and buffalo. social media users, no point to shooter, use. the same neo nazi symbol used on the haze of the county and emblems in ukraine and russia. mark the annual commemoration of victory over nazi germany. in 1945 ukrainian troops attempted to recapture an island in the block see on the eve of the symbolic day with the operations feeling missing from the from moscow to the world. this is our pleasure to have your company today. my name is you know, neil, after decades of neutrality, finland has made the formal decision to abandon that status of military non

alignment on join ne. so how think he justified the move by citing the current security situation in europe following russia's invasion of ukraine, a fundamental change has taken place in the security and operating environment of finland in europe, jointly agreed international commitments and principles of european security did not prevent war in europe, the combination of a strong national defense capability and nato membership would be a credible security solution. while accountants despite vladimir putin warning helsinki that joining nato would be a mistake that will harm finish relations with moscow. stressing the russia does not pose a threat to finland. the kremlin earlier said it would be forced to take retaliatory measures to protect its national security if finland joined the block as the country. sure. a long border. dr. young oberg, director of the transitional foundation for peace and future research, believes nato's nordic push can only harm regional security. finland in sweden say

we join this faith organization that is outdated. i think it's a disastrous decision because the swedish people in the finish, people are not going to be benefiting from this. an eto has now proven that it's not able to deliver what the taxpayers are paying for. namely, civility, peace and security. wearing the worst crisis in that sense, nato was created in the world and we have to ask ourselves, what caused the conflict? you know, gorbachev was given promises by all the important western leaders that nature would not expand. one that they just denied in some circles, but that's a lie. it was give these were given. and we to believe that they will not be american based on american troops or something, you know, more permanent in finland and sweden. i would, i would like to see the evidence that, that is not the case. all the countries who have joined nature, the last 220 years or so have been on the ebay pressure. and it's nonsense. well,

secretary general of nato, so back says that we just welcome anybody who, blah, blah, blah, because it has been a deliberate policy to do this. they have been wooed all the time by exercises, by money, by trading. and mind you, contrary to democracy, no other alternatives, but nato membership is discussed. are i'm a poll by the fact that media are 80 to 90 percent is pro nato. it is very difficult to get into the media today with an alternative view. this is intellectual and more of disarmament. it's people who know to little and act in panic. just on dr. oberg points, nato expansion was one of the red lines continually emphasized by russia before the conflict in ukraine began. despite alleged assurances from the alliance in the 1990 started wouldn't enlarge eastward. the block has been steadily expanding in recent

years with sweden now also announcing its intention to become a member of the u. s. lead organization, stockholm claims. it won't allow that deployment of military base is nuclear weapons on the countries territory in the event of its joining the alliance. here's our t show to sky. moscow has been clear that any further nato expansion is a red line. viewing the blocks increasing encroachment eastward. as being a threat to russian national security. but despite that, there is plenty of encouragement for both sweden and finland to dive in to the alliance. the war in ukraine is forcing our school to make difficult decisions. but sovereign nations must be free to make those decisions without fear or influence, or threat of retaliation for food. in particular, the worry is centered on the fact that it has an 800 of so my long border that it

shares with russia. helsinki fears that asking nato for membership could see an immediate reprisal from moscow. so why does russia see this is being a threat? both sweden and finland have greatly increased their defense spending in response to the war. as countries with high levels of per capita income, they could make a net contribution to nato's military capabilities over time. it makes sense that they might take on a leading role in defending the whole baltic region, for example, by adding enhanced air and missile defenses. making contributions to nato ground forces currently in estonia, latvia and lithuania. but considering the situation in ukraine's nordic nations a wondering if it may be better to believe in, rather than on the periphery of the nato block. even if the kremlin believes it will not bring greater security for europe. and it's a gamble that finland and sweden look increasingly likely to take charlotte,

even sky artie. paris, let's bring you some updates now on the ukraine conflict. more than 500 civilians were evacuated from mar, you pull on saturday, according to done yet. people's republic authorities, russian, and, and yet republic joint askew services are also beginning reconstruction efforts in the devastated city. while on the outskirts, the standoff over the us off style steel plant continues. russian defense ministry again stated that ukrainian fighters can leave the sites and are guaranteed humane treatment if they lay down their owns on the forces of the guns people's republic have taken control of a major chemical industry facility in the region that in the vicinity of the city of her best knight, this is the zaria plan for the prison about a lot and was under the control of the ukrainian armed forces wolf as in the case of the as of cell plant and more useful. but is it we can see now the full control

of the united force? it allows nato advisors coordinated the us citizen were killed here on the phone calls in arabic and other left it oh yes. well, we have recordings of representatives of the nate, our kids cannot loans in just one plant here, the crystal facility forever. so you there. we also recorded sniper groups from canada fortify childers located underground. some of them have 3 floors by the cranium military during the battles had the z. a 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, alma clay, elephant women, there are many ne to trophies. it will now be used in the battles for several and yet at least charges, quincy, chance, fellowship boy at the sound of his crissy shells several dung yet simplicity chance to sort of we squeezed a mole out of dung. yes. really. really. they were battles here and we pushed out

the special forces who held this place. so we're doing 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 had dia r t look ask new york state officials are pledge to fight right wing extremism. following saturdays must shooting and buffalo. a gunman kill 10 people. most of them block out a local supermarket, authority, c, v. attack as being racially motivated, the mark my words. we'll be aggressive in our pre cert pursuit of any one who subscribed see ideals professed by other white supremacists. and how there's a feeding frenzy on social media platforms where, hey, faster is more hate. that has to stop the suspect a white teenage meal,

the allegedly post to the statement expressing neo nazis sentiments on images, all of them on the festa, which included the pseudonym block, some nazi symbol spread online. social media users were quick to point out that a's off battalion fighters in ukraine use the same sign as part of their emblem. nato is arming and training neo nazis in ukraine's white supremacist dissolved movement. cr used the same fascists symbols as the terrorist mass shooter in buffalo, new york. weird to see a lot of people praising neo nazis from his off for 3 months. 247 on here. suddenly being outraged with another local neo nazi from buffalo. they will go back to cheerleading for his off tomorrow and tell how they aren't actual nazis and it's a difficult issue. after the buffalo shooting, i see liberals are back to declaring nazis bad. should be interesting how they explain how the sun and rad black sun is a nazi emblem on an american terrorist, but patriotism, when warned by ukrainian, is off soldiers. the same symbol of warren by ukrainian soldiers emerged in

a tweets posted by nate. so as well congratulating ukrainian women on international women's day the treat was later deleted after sparking criticism from people who spotted the site examples of extremist use have featured in a number of western media reports during the conflict. but given a little further comment, one example, the bbc interviewed a soldier displaying a neo nazi emblem on his jacket while the sun newspaper showed a funeral ceremony, but fail to mention. an attendee purely wearing another s. s division emblem, tara reeds author and former us senator. believes the west is trying to whitewash neo nazis in ukraine. what that is is a stand and they're trying to spit for dilute the fact that these are these neo nazis are simply far right or nationalist and they're using words to do it. just

like using the words, we full aid instead of weapons if using words to soften or to change perception. so a lot of americans are not clear that these are neo nazis as a battalion. the question for american citizens is, why are we are poised to get $40000000000.00 in weapons that will go into the hands of neo nazis and ukraine? and you see right now on western media, they're discussing gun control. they're discussing more censorship by social media of these extreme, neo nazis views. but they're not talking about the elephant in the room, which is that the u. s. government and nato are funding neo nazis and ukraine, and that sentiment is spreading across the globe. surging inflation is causing deep economic woes in the us. the spy thought washington's being dishing out billions and really funds to

a country and the other side of the globe. much to the dismay of some hard hit citizens at home. it's led to accusations that washington is putting america lust. well, it's the argument to republican son of a run poll, who this week blocked a speedy vote on a new $40000000000.00 a package for you print. we cannot save you crime 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. total us expenditure to ukraine during the conflict is now close to $14000000000.00. more than half of that has gone lethal aids on the white house plans to send yet more money to the country. i've been in the vast majority of the news spend will go on military assets, pentagon spokesperson, john kirby says, the new package must be passed. quote, quickly, by may 19th to avoid any interruptions. when it comes,

as many americans are struggling with their basic needs, the countries, annual inflation rates. it's sitting close to a 40 year high. their producer price index, which trucks so much manufacturers, gifts for products at their initial sale has risen by 11 percent from a year ago, according to the bureau of labor statistics. while the american automobile association reports that gasoline prices have increased by over 40 percent in one year ortiz rachel blevins house. the story 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, as congress refused to approve around $10000000.00 in kobe 19. really, previously i had recommended the congress take over due action on much need liens and tests as part of the ukraine. supplemental bill, however, only needed ukrainian aid. so congress is making it clear that it's funding for american 2nd was done lawmakers openly saying that i think we all agree the most

important thing going on me taking to the streets to approach as they are voicing their frustrations in a why us politicians are voting with americans in mind, and he for wars, but can't feed the poor no matter. holt's $1000000000.00 check laying around to prolong a war on the other side of the play you suggest taking a sort of biblical approach. so when you're, you fed me in the gospel of matthew, over the george across the country are reporting shortages. the baby formula, half of their supply is out of stock. all of the prices contains at 40 year high clean the u. s. the march inflation reports show that food prices for home concrete, we've seen a know or a 40 year period. those storing affordable life. while it was just weeks ago, the bite and warned of a global food crisis, he announced new sanctions against russia here and become a reality as food banks across the country report increased demand for 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 fall can't afford to eat every day. the prices continue to store when 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 and managed his government and strength from the economy and help ease the cost of living for famines. the u. k is also following in the footsteps that are boring johnson boasting about sending 450000000 pounds of taxpayers money to ukraine. the opposition was quick to call him out, to out of touch, to meet the challenges of the most, the opportunities of the future. that time has passed, continue to go above and beyond. for ukraine, while their own people, 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 ukraine has won the 2022. your vision song called a tree, was for the countries performers called for help for those on the city of motor vehicle from the stage. now the move was slammed on line and therefore a violation of the contest rooms the political message. one, what a surprise. i don't understand when, if it was some one else they would have been kicked out of the contest. just test. well, you guys need to change the name of your account to that is just ridiculous. disappointing result would love to see how to contest. not because of the song, but for political reasons. you are a vision once again, doesn't disappoint in its fossil political. the organizers of the san contest to where did i all the allocation, humanitarian nature, given the current situation. you victory ensure in what's called more political those days before is that criticism on for me here was saying that the credit for

you for a spec done with the eurovision song contest a draw did lately. i think most people are in agreement with the quality. so if you go by pick a u. s. he said. ready the whole thing was of exercise and you couldn't call it for a contract, certain political sort of emotional abuse or number countries were not even allowed to answer their share. russia and by law abuse were not able to answer. so how can you call it? a contrast, if you don't allow a certain key or capacity to actually answer it. so it's a pretty sort of does also situation. but i certainly think that there were a number of countries on the contrast to could have a political comments because of the political circumstances in quick look up the

countries. but they didn't because that was breaking. that would have been breaking the rules. so your credit really should have not been allowed city. this is a sign of the time with your credit to balance and demand and get so do anything they want. and then you should be back rush against that. these are getting, she cried and having a fair chance in the competition. but he was clear that the peasantry space was, was very much so tell you the rates are thing that britain was to, was cheated idea of a, your vision when just on the precedent that was set, then until you've got your efficient, which is known for expressing views quickly of a left wing as your over many years, but do you think they would be supportive organizers of your vision?

if more dissenting views are actually given on the day, would be willing to allow that to happen on stage? well, i don't think you have a mind that they would need, but they need to apply the rules more strictly or allow more flexibility. you can allow just one country to break the rules of richard play in full some with other people. but if you have a look at the whole situation may cause for the whole voting system regarding the revision song to confess, to be reviewed. the jury system has got big false. and in fact, that they are irregularities with 6 of the countries. juries results that you have to be based on the john mcgayden because there was so, but there was some fixing going on. and then if you look at

a 50 percent of the various is decided by, by people. and so it's robin with cherries and there's a huge scope for irregularities. i certainly hope that will be fully investigated because of the crating got a massive 400 policy. one votes of with the people vote, which is a b. i mean, it's got to be questionable, i've got nothing against the crime winning or if they have the best song i'm with entry was not great, but it certainly was better quality than some of the others are a lot of people in the i think the stand at this it wasn't fantastic. ok, i think we time has beaten us though. i wish we could talk more on this, but we're right out of time. critical. come to anthony webber life from the u. k.

thank you. thank you. well, let's recap this weeks. victory de commemorations now honoring the memory of those who lost their lives fighting against naziism in world war 2. ah, a well with some sense of normality, slowly returning to cities in ukraine, don boston under the control of joint russian done yet can dance republic forces fireworks for the 9th of may celebrations, replace shelling on the front line with the southern ukrainian cities. all pretty house on america dar,

where russian forces are currently in position joined in the commemorations officially for the 1st time and many years residents. all they done by cities have done yet. new gowns also took part in the festivities, fee for the ukrainian forces on pointless losses. outside of the russian defense ministry described keeps attempt to recapture the many island in the territory was taken under russian control and late february. and how's a strategic signal? moscow is alleging that the operation was orchestrated by london to the operation which ended as a disaster for keith was carried out on sale. ask his direct instructions, and despite the position of the corporation was deliberately plans on the eve of mine, the 9th, based on information available. the idea of the operation was suggested by london in order to overshadow the nest and legacy republics. and in the liberator territories of ukraine fence minnes free president vladimir lensky is p. r. stunt 3 . it more than 50 elite ukrainian soldiers. a lot, 10 helicopters for vessels and 30 drones were destroyed. starting on the 7th of may,

key of made multiple attempts at nightfall. 3 ukrainian suits when afore bumpers and wants to twist strike, fly. an extremely low altitude to the islands, all hostile by to biloxi, fleet air forces for armoured vessels brought $24.00 ukrainian paratroopers who successfully landed on the islands sunk by a rush of air force while you cranes special for hilde, following an intense fire fight. another attempt to capture the island took place. the next day, one for helicopters tried this time. they were led by the deputy commander of you crank up. the group was destroyed by fighters of the rush, the aspirin forces on the pro, towards the london units and eager beds i. the naval aviation head of vehicle, ukrainian equipment never even made it off their bases. as with them before, take off, the russian defense ministry essentially and soldiers executing their orders were not kamikaze in the real fur described as cannon fodder nano. this gamble has

turned out team to take snake island by victory de led to the meaningless depths of more than 50 you. neither a military tried to recapture is mean the island saying it has to the country and the movement of the german, the island is like 2 football fields. you can hit them and we won't miss. i don't understand why the russian supporter of the russian army holding the island and we will hit them telling us she's and the united kingdom's minutes feel defense. however, do not agree with that assessment. the british tweeted, even on his me, the island with strategic air defense and coastal, dominates the north western black sea. so is this a latin coalition, or an attempt to play down the catastrophic outcome of the operation? president zalinski who reported leaping the island remains quiet. okay, just a reminder about our twitter page, how you've covered for all the important developments as mentoring we give ortiz social teams a fall if you're not doing so already, i'm una liam, bye.
