a with russia says it will be for military on the border with finland if the country becomes a member of nato. that stuff to helsinki announces a formal decision to join the alliance with me. on our tea corresponded reports exclusively from the territory of the besieged of steel plants where battles between the russian and don't bust, joint forces and local to nationalist battalions are still raging after 10 killed in a racially motivated shooting. in buffalo, social media loser users,

point out the shooter was the same neo nazi symbol used by the ukranian as of battalion. although with the legs being made also coming up, india says it'll still export grain to those countries in desperate need. that's after new delhi was slammed by the west announcing an export on its own food security. with a new week is just getting on the way here in the russian capital. my name is peter scott and wherever you join us from, welcome to international. russia will beat up his positions on the finished border if helsinki joins the nato alliance. the statement by a top russian military official comes after the finished president and the prime minister jointly announced the country. it will submit its bid to join the block this week. and thus abandoned in finland's mutual status, which the country is upheld for decades, is l. think he is that is a nest through decision from intense security in europe. following russia's

invasion of ukraine, a fundamental change has taken place in the security and operating environment of finland and europe, jointly agreed international commitments and principles of european security did not prevent war in europe. the combination of a strong national defense capability in nato membership would be a credible security solution. now that decision by helsinki comes despite vladimir putin warning the finished president, joining nato would be a mistake that would harm long standing friendly relations with moscow. and the russia does not pose a threat to finland. sweden is also expected to follow its close neighbour in joining the military alliance. but turkey could prove a stumbling block for helsinki unstuck homes plans with the nato member expressing reservations about the move. the turkish president slammed sweden and finland welcoming attitude to the curtain. workers party even accusing the countries of being home to terrorist organizations. now nato expansion has been

a red line continually emphasized by russia for a long time. and despite a legit assurances from the alliance in the $1009.00 says that it wouldn't enlarge eastward. the block has been steadily expanding in recent years. though stockholm claims it won't allow the deployment of military bases and nuclear weapons on its territory and the events of its joining the alliance. dr. young oberg, director of the trans national foundation for peace and future research, believes nato's nodding push could harm regional security pin limits. we can say we join this organization that is outdated. i think it's a disastrous decision because this week people, the things people are not going to be benefiting from this. and nato has now proven that he's not able to deliver what the taxpayers are paying for. and namely, civility, peace and security, where in the worst crisis, in that sense, nato was created in the world. and we have to ask ourselves, what cost to conflict?

you know, gorbachev was given promises by all important western leaders that nature would not expand one that is denied in some circles, but that's a lie. it was him. these were given to believe that they will not be american basis . american troops or something, you know, more permanent in finland and sweden. i would, 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 under any pressure. and it's nonsense. well, secretary general of nato assault back says that we just welcome anybody who, blah, blah, blah, because it has been a deliberate policy to do this. they have been wound 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 on disarmament. it's pete romano to little and act in panic. and yet another potential crisis of european security looms over separatism pushed from kosovo, which has been encouraged to seek membership of the council of europe. and thus, amid western anger, serbia, or his refusal to board the sanctions train against russia more now come in later in the program and now to the ongoing conflicts in ukraine. this been raging for more than 2 months now with our 2 bottles taking place, both in ukraine and the dumbass republics. ah, dpr forces have fired on the dugouts of the ukrainian army in the done yes. republic, claiming ukrainian troops used the positions to shell, a village, just 25 classes north of the city of done yet. and as battles for the as of

steel fights re multiple continued british media claims that 3 u. k. citizens fighting for ukraine may still remain in the plans. are seized, eager is done of sensors this exclusive report. ah, blooms of smoke shroud, the sky over as of stone, missiles, mortar shells, and bombs of nearly all calibus hail down upon the steep factory. with project tiles wearing over our heads, we make way to make the contact lines. ah so right now we're in the midst of a regular rotation of the troops with the militia of the denounced people's republic. we are beyond the premises of the as of style still works as we are moving forward, deeper into the territory of this plant. mm

hm. mm. the closer we get to the workshops, the more dangerous our pocket comes. this plant has eyes. so a part of the route towards the frontline positions is unsafe because again, all that his separating us and the as of troops as this world moved away and they can start firing at us with good precision to so certain sections, certain portions of our, of our route we have to cross running the parts that are of course, open with the ground. troops have received orders to refrain from the assault and

besieged the neo nazis stronghold. instead, the plants underground bunkers, shelter. thousands of as of fighters left for dead by their own command. they still follow their suicidal order whiting back. this is the news that you said the after day. of course there are shootings here. the enemy comes out. we open fire on them . we constantly monitor the enemy, their movements and report on it like in artillery and abbey ation are also targeting the enemy. it happens that the enemies snaps back shells in response to de the use mortars. but our guys are in a fighting mood. every one believes in victory that we have enough provisions. men are fully provided with weapons. and ammunition collector, this wall over here is the only barrier that is separating us. and the as of battalion that is stationed literally, maybe 200 meters away from here. we're being told that they like to use frame

carriages train wagons. there's dozens of them over there on the tracks. they like to use them as cover and work underneath. they've been begging for the international community for their government. they've been begging for the pope even to do something to rescue them. according to them, there are hundreds of injured down there without access to proper medicine. the russian side has been saying, surrender. there's nothing for you to fear in russian captivity. so the russians right now, they're not really storming the positions of the as of near nancy battalion, but rather what they're doing, they're just, they just keep firing so that they don't have time, don't have the opportunity to answer back. and my gosh, darn of reporting from as of style r t. and in the neighboring republic, russian suppers have cleared the territory of a large fortified area of ukrainian security forces and little ganske city of

shasta. since the beginning of the mining works russians fetch 1st specialists of neutralized more than $500.00 anti tank and anti personnel mines. that while russian military doctors continued to provide assistance to civilians and captured soldiers in the republic fulfilled some ukrainian troops claim, they were abandoned by their commanders on the battlefield. russian forces have been using ahmed ambulance that to deliver the wound itself. battles, a body weekend continues in the u. s. after the shooting. this time in california, left one person dead and 5 injured. the shooting took place at the church report, say the people inside the monies to neutralize the shoot themselves. please say the suspect has been detained. according to reports, for people are currently in a critical condition, while one person only suffered minor injuries. the motive behind the incident is still unclear. it comes just one day after

a racist masika which rots the entire country or gunman killed 10 people, most of them black at the local supermarkets in new york state, the suspect, the allegedly posted statements expressing new nazi sentiments. but still alice nico house has more. there was a shooting in buffalo, mastering in a small supermarket, but 13 people were shot and 10 people are dead. the culprit was a young boy just 18 years old, who supposedly proud of manifesto all over the internet, detailing how he was trying to curb. it's quote unquote white replacement theory. now there are a lot of overflowing emotions, a lot of perspectives that should be heard here. but i think one of the most important ones, of course, is why supremacy is still alive and well in the united states. there is also some angles about this that i think should be at least discussed because obviously i'm a black man. so naziism neil, not uniformly white supremacy. i feel the need charge for some odd reason. now,

myself and many others have been talking about the neo nazis, and that's been taking place in the ukraine. in fact, some people have been alleging online that this guy was, at least in some part, inspired by a lot of the symbolism and imagery use in the near naziism. in ukraine. they do is arming and training neo nazis in ukraine's white supremacist dissolve. movement. who use the same fashion symbols as the terrorist mass shooter in buffalo, new york. weird to see a lot of people praising neo nazis from his are 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 until 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 explained how the sun and rad black sun is not the emblem on an american terrorist, but patriotism, when warned by ukrainian,

is off cultures. another 18 year old shooter was allegedly inspired by nazi symbols that are used by the same age of battalion bet are linked to the cranium government, the same ukrainian government that is claiming to have no variation with not your money or not to them. but when people like myself and others, we brought this up. we were met with jeers by the liberal establishment. and even by much of the republican establishment, we were called putting puppets. you know, we'll call you know, russian puppets, whatever you want to call it. that's what we call. so it's been very, very interesting to me. to see this man shooting an act of white supremacy, an act of what liberals would call me naziism being condemned. rightfully so. while we have members of the swat members who are members of congress,

who would probably label themselves social justice warriors, sending tens of billions of dollars to neo nazis in the ukraine. neo nazis who where natalie insignia is proud. meanwhile, a pitcher has emerged online, shown extremist manifesto, which reports inspired the buffalo shooter translated into ukrainian and the thing alongside the insignia of local radical groups is the money 1st. so of brenton tarrant who killed more than 50 people in a mosque shooting 3 years ago in new zealand. examples of extreme misuse have featured in a number of western media reports during the conflict were given. little for the comments. one example, the bbc interviewed a soldier, display in the nazi emblem on his jacket, while the sun tabloid newspaper showed a funeral ceremony. but failed to mention. an attendee clearly wearing another s, s division, emblem, author and former us states a power read. believes western media outlets are 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 of battalion. the question for american citizens is, why are we are poised to get $40000000.00 in weapons that will go into the hands of neo nazis in ukraine. and you see right now on western media, they're discussing gun control. they're discussing more censorship. my 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 of spreading across the globe, ah, and over to india now, which says it'll still export wheat to countries in the most desperate need does after announce the export bond in a move. the g 7 countries condemned as a responsible to the export ban effects, countries like bangladesh and a pool which urgently needed. we also recommend that a concrete decision be taken on the issue of the g 7 meeting of heads of state and government to which india will be invited from start god. we also call on india to assume its responsibilities as a member of the g 20. this was diction would not apply in cases where prior commitments have been made by private trade, as well as in situations where permission is granted by the government of india to other countries to meet their food security needs and on the requests of their governments. that decision over exports comes amid food security issues in india,

itself with an experts and poor harvest, an a record jump in prices. now india is the world's 2nd largest largest weak producer and was expected to replace bush and product functioned by western countries. last month, new delhi exported record 1400000 tons of wheat. but that's hits food prices in the country by an 8 percent increase. now the government has decided to tackle its own supply crunch. and as the country has faced and abnormal heat wave with march recording india the hottest day in 122 years with 47 degrees celsius, which new delhi un food organisation experts concern is up to 15 percent of the news crops have been wiped out now the same time the world's main we takes both russia is expecting a record grain harvest of about $130000000.00 tons of $87000000.00 of that been wheat. but the country is still limits in its weeds exports to cycle prices on its domestic markets. the war in ukraine,

which is also another major weak exports. it is also impacting the markets. the president and secretary general of all india farm is association, says india, most secure its own food security. we have to also look at the security issues of the country. we all, a government also has a lot of social responsibility. so this particular issue to the public, the solution system is also very important. and we have to also see globally or oil ration going up, which is affecting and inflation in our country is really, so we have too much sand off for balance it out. and she to that because of the because of food, we should not be having an increase in mental increase in end of mile in the cost of muscle for the people of the country. now while there are

global concerns on possible food crises on the table, the crippling sanction slots on russia, $41.00 ukraine of in parts and a whole host of industries. one of the world's largest diamond banners versus i'll rosa has been hits with restrictions both as r t z r t ticket explains the moves having a much wider impacts. they said the route to a woman's heart is 2 diamonds and here in the western indian city of suda is the heart of the world's largest diamond, cutting and polishing industry. my diary traders in the city having tv um on the on russian dialing, minor full and rosa. oh stones from rosa ever says he's anxious. i'm russia because when war label rushes al ross,

i was directly or indirectly supplying 28 percent of india's total pressures. stone demand, we import stones worth $4500000000.00 per year due to you are sanctions and rush over the russia ukraine war. india may see an impact as a result of the ban on a roster. the impact is already been felt. our assessment is that stopping the flow of stones from al rosser will directly affect the employment of from 400002 half a 1000000 workers. indian banks are unable to process payment because of the sanctions. indian government, me have to intervene some see by allowing traders to trade and ru booths are repeat sampling. in the early days of the war, the government said the trade will continue by facilitating payments in the form of a rouble ruby barter system. but the government is under tremendous pressure from the u. s. professionals have been cutting and polishing diamond since suited for over 120 years. it's an industry that employs over 1500000 people,

making india the world's leading exporter of gut and polish diamonds. if the sanctions continued to affect the cities businesses, it will leave many in financial des moines. this is article for r t trump sooner it in good shape. meanwhile, yet another shift in european security architecture could be in the offing castillo's application to join the council of europe. as far as outrage in serbia. the serbia as president claim in that is smites of double standards when compared to the situation in ukraine. come with a civic or what a talking as they say ukraine will not give up its integrity at any cost. and then you demand that from serbia for service to give up its integrity. it cannot happen with a gun to the forehead and not to me, but to our children's was with cbs president called for an urgent national security council meeting. following the breakaway republic of casa o's bid to seek

membership of the council of europe. now comes despite a recent meeting of the g. 7 leaders who said no breach of ukraine's territorial integrity will be accepted. we heard from the russian ambassador to serbia who outline the concerns was preparatory nearby, as it is clear that the discussion about casa, was possible admission to the council of europe is a violation of provisions agreed upon. you're in the prison of belgrade dialogue. it is also an egregious violation of un security council resolution to well, $44.00 christian a supported by the west, which continues its unilateral policies despite soft and kind words given to serbia . and despite making it look like they support serbia, it is of course not the reality. the west actually supposed pushed anon at the expense of serbian interests, as it has always been. the serbian province of kosovo, declared his independence in 2008. that's a decade after the war between ethnic albanians and served forces ended in 1009.

the conflict was meant to be settled by a un security council resolution on the territorial integrity of serbia. yet, cost of those push for membership of the council of europe that comes amid serbia's refusal to support sanctions against russia. would violate that un resolution. in 5 soviet claims for countries have withdrawn their recognition of cost of, of independence in protest at the move. although casa road does reject this, we once again heard from the russian ambassador about the unprecedented pressure on bell grade coming from the west bush here, when the tensions burst out and they are handled manually, so to speak, an escalation has been normalized in a manual manner it gives no guarantees to such an escalation wouldn't burst out again, sooner or later in the end, it could lead to some serious conflict. one that can be handled at all as it would go out of control. the main point is the egregious and unceremoniously pressure and serbia demonstrated by washington and brussels. they don't shy away from anything

political pressure and intimidation, blackmail, threats to freeze or take away the status of an e. u. candidate state. the last one might not be the worst threat, because recent polls show that the actions towards russia resulted in way fewer supporters in serbia of the use of mission. nowadays, it is obvious for serbians that if you want to build decent relations based on respect towards so been interests, it is inadmissible to put so much pressure. it is simply humiliation of the dignity of the people in other used ukraine's wonder 2022 eurovision song contest. but as the countries performance celebrated, their, when they called for help, for those inside the as of style steel photo on the city of murder, you pull, the move was slammed on line by some has been political and therefore a violation of the contests rules. the political message, one, what a surprise. i don't understand how you can break the rules and still when, if it was some one else they would have been kicked out of the contest. just said

in a big failure for the contest. well, you guys need to change the name of your account to the charity contest. this is just ridiculous. disappointing result would love to see how different the result would be if there wasn't a war going on. ukraine has won the contest, not the cause of the song, but for political reasons. ukraine is not a real winner. you're a vision once again doesn't disappoint in its farcical political mockery of the singing competition. the head of the romanian delegation complained after your vision organizes excluded the schools given by the romanian jewelry members. so i think voting irregularities independently. calculator scores were given instead which had maximum points to ukraine instead of moldova. as a result of the changes made by the organizes mold over did not receive a single points from romania. meanwhile, a similar situation also happened with georgia was where the joys boatswain, excluded anew crane was instead awarded the highest mark of 12 and not the u. k. as

announced in the eurovision final, and those are the only issues with the world's biggest music competition. the organizers of the song contest say that the statements of carlos orchestra on the stage to millions of viewers will have a quote to monetary nature. given the current situation, this comes after the case last year when beller roost was banned completely from competing because it song didn't meet the criteria and cast doubts on the non political nature of the music competition. it's n, she ridiculed the political events taking place in bella. ruth, protests and strikes on the actions of opposition leaders. political commentator anthony webber, says, such contest must bring countries together and not divide them. we have to bear in mind, but to at least 2 countries, russia and by the race, we're not even allowed. so and so, so how can it be a comb? sas, if you are a number of countries too. and so,

and then you've got the situation with the operating system, which is very questionable this time 6 super countries, juries results were deemed to be very questionable. what had to be re, john, in my opinion, needs to be a popular investigation of online i'm fine furnishing procedure as it's a, it's a very disastrous situation which needs for forming purpose school side. you should not come in to it all. in fact, there should be no political aspect in any school or cultural event. shorty school watching your pants because all these are bad citizens to break nations together. well, that's the route for now. my name is peter scott, on the back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news and views on audience and national. thank you very much for watching.

with the 1st time in history and the entire country's culture has been cancelled. the very modern weapon cancel culture. really, that's it. wonderful. i would say in my life, so we can't just me sitting there with the phrase now, particularly for us to counseling russian culture, yet them know what to create the field. because if you, when you're my fuel over your, there is killing me so that the most to lose temperature, london, them we would rush has created over the past 15. 0 good. yes. there's no question actually condemned, reviled and reject it to sort of like a bullet. there's a lot closer on

a whole all the time. i just had a little short list joining total condemnation, gross daily, and now includes just dance k to kosky shostakovich that i need to do with the www obama. lee your with

hello and welcome to cross dock. were all things are considered on peter lavelle? the conflict in ukraine continues to pace. the situation on the battle field for the care regime is going from bad to worse. nonetheless, the u. s. and it's nato allies continue to pour in massive amounts of 8 and weapons . diplomacy is still not on the agenda. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess these and in our slow he is a professor at the university of se or norway as well as author of the new book. russo phobia propaganda in international politics and in russ up on don. we have exec being miro, he is the founder of the center of political strategic analysis strap or are a gentleman cross type rules and effect. that means.
