ah ah, the 1st group of ukrainian fighters surrendered the besieged mario full of steel plans. some of the wounded had been taken to all those in the den. yes. region. despite the surrender of those troops of the plans, the western media joins here, infiltrating the situation as an evacuation was a thing as an inclination war. this is a battle perception over reality. green is spinning in a way that makes it look as though ukraine somehow won this battle and was able to negotiate the evacuation of the survivors. also the solid china lashes out of the g 7, telling it to mind its own business and not to ignite, could revolutions around the world of the group demands beijing hole,

to support for russia on the west rings. the alarm over potential food crisis is top weights and grain produces limits on our exports. our teeth take a closer look at this doesn't concern when there's been similar problems in the world before with your watching audience and now she's just going to in moscow time this tuesday morning. my name is peter scott, aware of jonah's from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. a number of ukrainian fights is have surrendered. the besieged as of steel plan does or to weeks of brutal battles at the industrial sites. are these don quarter has all the details. early monday morning, the 1st reports began to come out that some ukrainian troops hold up in marian polls as a stall, steel plant had finally begun to surrender. this was after it became known that those same troops had begun negotiating with the done yet people's militia to

evacuate some of their injured comrades, as for how many troops were talking about here or what battalions they were members of. we do not know what we do know is that a number of the troops that were evacuated were not actually injured, and they were taken to separate areas altogether. now, kiev has confirmed this information, but we didn't actually hear it from ukraine's president vladimir lensky. we heard it from the countries deputy minister of defense speaking on all of them that will probably know that communal, 53 seriously wounded murray, bull defenders were evacuated from the as of still planned to a medical facility in nova for medical assessment. and another 211 people were taken through the humanitarian corridor to lend me for their further return home. as part of the exchange procedure. all the tasks set by the defenders command were completed in full. unfortunately, we do not have the ability to unblock our april militarily, but the task for the whole of ukraine and for the whole world is to see

a lot of the defenders. and so far, rushes ministry of defense has neither confirmed nor denied this information. but this is no doubt a hard pill to swallow for t f. after all this last stand of ukrainian nationalists was advantageous for both ukrainian propaganda as well as for the countries war effort. but with them now likely gone. this could represent a death blow to the countries war effort. well, despite the fact that the ukrainian tubes have surrendered, western media has been portraying the situation as an evacuation backing the words of high ranking ukraine and officials. he said, the soldiers have quotes left the plants with the supports of numerous organizations, both ukrainian and international. but they didn't mention any of the russian or d p. r. involvements for marine corps intelligence office and analysts got with i believe it's a buffalo perception over reality. the reality is a, it doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to paint for the defense of mario pool and as

of stall plants as heroic. and to use this as a rallying cry, and this is a battle perception over reality. you know, the perception of an evacuation implies that there was a negotiation and a kia was able to prevail in the negotiation to successfully extricate the defenders of murray, a full trauma, the russian grasp. i think that's why that they're portraying it this way because to say otherwise that this was a desperate plea for survival. and that the only reason why the defenders are mario poll are alive today is because of the humanitarian nature of russia. ukraine can admit this, that would be to admit defeat. so ukraine is spinning in a way that makes it look as though ukraine somehow won this battle and was able to negotiate the evacuation of the survivors and staying in the done yes. for public

todd t. e. good has done of had the chance to speak to british national, who went to ukraine's help civilians, but ended up shots on the front line and captured by russian forces. encountering a confessed fighter among ukrainian prisoners of war is a tall order. if you were to take captives word for it, caves armies made up exclusively of cooks, medics and combs officers as far as i can see, a similar story is purported by andrew, a simple scaffold him who found itself embedded with ukraine's foreign legion or so he says, while the scaffold which spotted construction a shape, say 5 years old, and i have a simple life, i love my children upon my family. what i've seen on the west and west media, why some folks can do. as you can ask for people for help. i thought about maybe

something i could do. i could help when andrew landed in poland, a mysterious jacob got in touch with him and made an offer. andrew couldn't refuse a fast way, was to live some medical experiments. basic medical experience said to medics. basic points of injury, kind of the kinds of stuff and, and he said i can be more beneficial if i move into crying father. the moment andrew crossed the ukrainian buddha was the moment key of de facto made him it's conscript except back then andrew didn't quite realize that i didn't see any of the others. i dropped off as well as seems to be like a community center where we stay there for a couple of days. would it around infantry like andrew says his tasks were strictly within the civilian realm. even got to see boucher although didn't get to see any

bodies there. and there was a few days after the russians after live in santa corpses myself. i didn't see anything like that. it looked untouched. the area that we was in, but again we wasn't directly and was kept on the very i was got some boots for not only andrea and others were banned from moving around independently. they had no idea where the ukrainians were taking them to the town of nic alive, except no one bothered to mention one little detail that it was in fact the front line. so he wasn't told it was going to make life just got all that would be moving, moving to a different location. it wasn't in 2 ways from mac, lived that we knew where we found out where he was, for there wasn't any fight in actual make life. so as, as quiet that was michelle. and so i didn't see any of that mac alive at all. it was the day that we push on to the position. when we go into the position. i was all quiet. then the next morning, i saw

a peer and artillery gunshots. and when i ran, i stopped. i was very close in a position. eventually, andrew was ordered to join a foreign unit, has medic, his 1st contact with the enemy became, has lost. his brothers in arms were killed and he surrendered. looking back at his experience in ukraine, he says he's reconsidering his life choices a suicide that all this this, this is comes, this are, do you feel like i've been like a massively not, not just by the, for religion in this country all on what of all will be taken as i and i did come out to help us. i feel like i would like to back in the you k through the western media lesson propaganda as well. and i think that was an amendment in the media stories looking back now. i think a lot of the stories can be false. stories probably also stories but is very

different to what the media portrayed back in on the west. andrew just wants to go back to his family, but both his government and key of have abandoned him. that a p r trying to arrange for a transfer on our side. we will be going back to the u. k, but they need the u. k for an office. and i'm to say to basically answer and talk back with this is was being held up for my transfer back k is the u. k. foreign office and the m c on doing anything for my transfer. the moment to get back to you. in other news, both finland is sweet and have officially announced the applying for nato membership. but the turkish president has to express hesitation thing his country council of the alliance include members who in his words, support terrorists. key, easy the we've asked to extradite the terrorists to turkey. they refuse. they do not oppose terrorism. they supported sweden is the center of terrorist

organizations, even in the building of their parliament. they give the terrorists an opportunity to speak out. sweden will visit turkey on monday if they want to convince us about our position. i say directly that we will not change it. and she lives in the 2 european countries, ties with a could, is done work as policy and other organizations considered as terrorist by turkey in recent years. and carol has reportedly since extradition request for 33 individuals in finland, unsweetened with a legit ties to those organisation. all of those requests were rejected. 30 though has faced a hostile response for its position. the chairman of the european parliament largest policy says those who opposed to expansion could face isolation. if the 2 countries want finland and sweden are part of it, no doubt. anyone who questions nato's unity will be isolated within the community. while nato expansion and the presence of a military infrastructure close to russian borders has been

a red line which moscow has continually emphasized for decades decides a legit assurances from need. so back in the 1909 sees that it wouldn't enlarge eastwood's. the book has been steadily expanding in recent years. in the event of joining the alliance. stockholm, though claims it won't allow the deployments of military bases or nukes on its territory. retired rear admiral in a turkish naval forces. alley beneath could look, gave us his take on finland and sweden a session. it's not straightforward decision and turkey may or may not be a stumbling walk on the edmonton. so coastal states, on the other hand, debts request to be discussed within natal, not only the turkey but it's among others because there are many issues needs to be looked at in this, in this mood, let's say, is to rush and to look to let them to it will become a member of the southern auto blue. and those 2 states,

one of which has gush over 160 years as a neutral state, the other one from a from 2nd world war as a, as a neutral states. or it's have the 9 relations with russia all off to sun and rise to join nato organization. because a was, i know she does. they're resin dead. some of it, for instance, is if i very need for issue i was going to question, what is the rational heading? also stays with allows we death long border with russia. and that limited ability to offer to organs ish, china is the lashed out at the g 7 group of advanced economies for applying double standards. i'm meddling in other countries affairs and it comes up to the group to monday. beijing holt is support for moscow amid crippling sanctions. he would even

went on with the lengthy g. 7 communique is filled with preposterous allegations, not even worth refuting washer in total disregard of china's position and object of fact, it grossly interferes in china's internal affairs, maliciously flanders and smears china. and once again, exert pressure using such pretexts as the russia, ukraine conflict, saki china to follow at the sanctions, and ex, suspension, scratch to china, trying to find the new horn to find alternative sellers. because g, u. s. has been waiting to work with china. also, it is really not in the interest of china to have the poor but military, very strong neighbor trying to once his neighbor to be able to see out at the very least festival mine. and many more countries are not joining the us sanctions. he's really saying something, essentially the ministry is saying that the g 7, please stop being a cheaper crutch with double standards. don't export color resolution. don't

provoke others and don't impose ego sanctions. the chinese or ministry book person, johnny, jenn, could all these and ask for g 7 to instead focus on other important global and internal issues. and to truly focus on peace and development pro the world to start applying the standard to start sending military aircraft ships to, to borders or other countries. of course, trying to support the moscow wasn't the only pressing issue during the g 7 meeting . representatives of the big 7 of once again promise more measures against russia. and they say that moscow's weeds international law and engaged in illegal aggression the russian war of aggression against ukraine as a watershed moment for the 21st century and carries dramatic consequences far beyond europe. we the g 71 to make abundantly clear that we will not sit by whilst countries flagrantly disregard the international rule book on which we all depend

for peace, prosperity, security, and stability. the officials also held russia responsible for the unfolding global energy and food crisis. meanwhile, there was a markedly different zone from the group when it came to the israeli palestinian conflict with no parties accused of crimes than g 7. simply calling for peace and his documents. now israel has traditionally been an ally of the west, which has supplied it with arms despite allegations of international law being breached. one of the countries latest missile strikes at the syrian town, claiming 5 lives in the west, continues to corporate, closely with israel, which is something this is often raised, eyebrows. it is true that the g 7 regimes will not sit by whilst countries flagrantly disregard the international rule book. when that country is israel, they will arm fund and reward its crimes. g 7 communicate from saturday's perfect illustration of western exceptional icing of israel, palestine. while sections on most of the conflicts called for respective

international law, human rights and accountability, these rainy palestine power ignores all that and gives awfully lopsided view of reality. the g 7 says that it will not recognize the borders that russia wishes to modify by force. i have to say that this principle does not apply in the case of the state of israel. the director of the canadian geopolitical economy research group radhika decide, please. the west is often selective about international law. they keep calling russian actions unprovoked aggression. they constantly use the word unprovoked, precisely to hide the fact that they have been provoking russia to do this for a very long time. and of course, they're condemning russian action in light of international law. but in reality, what you have to understand is that what the west wants to impose on the was what it was. the rules based international order isn't actually international law. it is a russian of international law or a set of rules that are designed to favor western countries. israel has violated

the record, the largest number of un resolutions ever life of any country in the wall. and every time the israel violates in the united states essentially vetoes any united nations action to address the situation of the community. is this another exercise in he brought in the kind of hypocrisy that we've been seeing around the world, in my opinion, the rest want us to prolong the conflict in terms of his thing from it. american arms manufacturers, i'm making profits hand over fist. on top of that, of course the united states denies all sorts of diplomatic advantages. at least on the surface. washington has thrown its backing behind a you an initiative to help ukrainian green get to the global markets prevent a potential food crisis. the ongoing war in the country has severely interrupted supplies. one of the world's top, we'd exporters, and the foreign affairs chief yourself, burrell says the e u is also working to free gifts we'd stalks,

storage capacity of ukraine is fill. we are, they can not export the screen and they need to empty. these are storage capacity in order to be able to receive the next crop show we are working on how to help them to take these grain out. however, even if the green could be exported, the office about ukraine's ability to refill those stores. it's predicted the key if we tavis could fall by least 35 percent this year on considering that ukraine is the 6 top wheat exports that a feeling concerns about further shortages. the west, the accused of stealing ukraine's grain stalks farm equipment, unblocked eating ports. moscow though, cleans it, keeps stopping exports from black seaports. steve, lusty near with the key for swords is not let dozens of sheeps out of their ports, including ships that are supposed to do ever wheat to various regions of the world . and keep in mind the exits from the sports,

which makes it impossible for these sheeps to leave the mining of harbors. the stopping of shipping is part of the whole war against russia. and it was done in criminal disregard of the people of the whole world. remember when the sanctions were imposed, they said it would create enormous pain, economic catastrophe in russia. that didn't happen, but it is creating economic catastrophe around the world. and frankly, if they can create came and yet economically improve their home situation. well, us capital has always been willing to do this and the e u is willing to go along as are the ukranian fascist today. it's the way they fight wars and it really puts the whole world at miss bullets is not only poor countries that have faced surging inflation. the u within an almost constant rise

in price is no surprise then that the latest g 7, some are focused on food security with calls to impose urgent measures to prevent a crisis. thus, after india, the world's 2nd largest weak producer for the biggest russia and restrictions applies to cycle their own food price increases. the critics of question, why is only now the you and the u. s. have shown concern about the food supply situation in poorer countries. with warnings that a global food crisis is in the making, the west has rushed to try to get millions of tons of grain out of ukraine. oh, with the most noble, pompous ukraine says they have 20000000 tons of grain in their silos right now. 20000000 tons. and guess what? those tons don't get to mark an awful lot of people in africa are going to starve to death. we need to make sure that the serials are sent to the world.

if not, millions of people will be facing famine, particularly in the middle east. and africa is so from 6000000 mens up to 50000000 people, particularly in the countries of africa in the middle east will die in the next few months unless ukrainian grain is released or not. the question is, though, we have all these western politicians been all this time before the war in ukraine broke out. 43000000 people were ready, one step away from famine. the biggest crisis was in yemen. more than 17000000 yemen. ease of food insecure because of a conflict that's been going on there for 8 years. the people of yemen are not starving. they are being starved. ongoing conflict, airstrikes and restrictions on imports have left 14000000 people in yemen on the brink of famine. all warring parties and those fuel in the caustic through arms sales are implicated in this men made him and it's heron, crisis. parties to that conflict. canada france the u. k. and the u. s. whose weapons the old used by the saudi led coalition. did trudeau visits,

and i like he did kiev, did ports rush to get food to the, to 1000000 starving children. no. canada boasted about sending humanitarian aid and then sent 4 times worth as much of weapons and military goods. a similar pitcher is unfolding in afghanistan with over half of the population on the brake. did biden give press conferences about the need to get them food? no, but he did free 7000000000 dollars worth of afghan funds with people taking to the streets with the simple request. let us eat, ah, there were no summits or statements or condemnations than from brussels and co white pansies because their weapons sales were more profitable. because this time it affects them. this time it's there, people who conquer sunflower oil this time it's there, people who are paying 6 percent more for white bread. so it matters. and if you still had any doubt about whether all these nations rushing that grain out,

we'll sacrifice a meal to those 43000000 on the brink of famine. listen to the canadian agricultural minister, respond to a request to open her countries. grain silos to those starving in africa, while canada, as a leading global agri food exporter of many key products is working with its allies and how it can assist efforts. canadian beat production was significantly reduced due to lost his throat and there is not a significant amount of wheat, uncommitted, and available to the market until the next harvest. they do not try to justify. this is complete. the pa, chrissy. the u. s. has no interest and no concern in the simons, the real hunger that there war and there sanctions create around the world. there's now sanctions on the 2 countries in the world in every one of those countries. it's meant to create economic chaos,

shortages wheel famines. and that was the purpose of inflicting sanctions on russia . in yemen today, it is a famine enforced by a u. s. naval blockade that blockade supports of yemen. and the same thing was true in iraq, where u. s. policy created through the sanctions. as madeline albright was asked is the death of half a 1000000 children worth it? and she said, yes, we think it's worth it. so this was the way the u. s. looks at hunger at famines. it's part of their war policy, and it dates back in u. s. history to the simons, the destruction of the burning of crops, the killing of the buffalo against the indigenous people. this is the way the u. s . fights wars. and we shouldn't give a shred of honesty to, they are concerned about how people about shannon's being created. countless

organizations have really said that this policy of sanctions on, on russia would create famine throughout africa for your bank. the day with all the latest news headlines had a thought c dot com for more money pizza scott's. and i be back again at the top of the hour, for ah, ah, ah ah

ah, the 1st time in history, an entire country's culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desert wonderful. i was just a little boy when you get just me sitting there with the phrase now, particularly refers to cancelling russian culture. yet i don't want to create a few orders that i give to william i with a cure, which will be your children that go with them. we what rushes created over the past 1500 years, now question, actually condemned, reviled and reject it to sort of like a bill of bramble. there's a lot closer on a whole bunch. thank you said a little small. the list joining total condemnation,

gross daily. and now includes, does de escalate to cascade shostakovich that i need to? yeah, that was quick enough, but yes, she says that what that will you do? obama lee, you're not going to with welcome to world to part. there is a pearl of russian folk wisdom,

that good fortune would never have materialize if it weren't for a misfortune. the war in ukraine seems to graham and gruesome to think about anything positive coming out of it. what is this dark cloud or rather a major geopolitical storm, also had a silver lining. it i'm now joined by steve. it's trailing economist and on there a research fellow at the university college london. professor kim, it's great to talk to you. it's a fairly rare treat for me these days to speak to western thinkers. so i'm particularly appreciative of that. thank you. one glad to be invited and particularly knowing this will be on it. so anybody who subsequently with your western orientation, there's been no doctrine whatsoever. there's come to, sorry, i have to say that we promised that to all over. so if any of the western speakers want to come in on the show, more than welcome to do that. now it comes to the current events in your crane. i

think that western party line, or the predominant western narrative, is that for 1st of all, is this aggression and i have to admit that the military operation is a form of aggression. there is no way around that. but then these events, 1st of all, are totally unprovoked. and secondly, that they are warranted that they are absolutely no strategic or geopolitical antecedents, rushes actions. i wonder if you've got a course to your understanding of what is happening in your grade. no, it doesn't mean if i go back far enough, i wrote a paper way back in the early 2, thousands like not is not, is not is i think call the, the russian to vietnam a course that ok. and in that, i went through the history of how the cicily american economists had advised, the american government and the soviet, the russian governmental,

soviet union collapsed. the best way to transit from socialism to capitalism is to do it very quickly. well, they called shock therapy, and i just went through how absurdly wrong those arguments were and how they would cause a normal suffering and russia when it actually happened. and that this would set up for both forces with a, just a fragmentation breakdown of, of russian society. but also of course, a reaction. so a was no, a surprise to me at all that you had a strong manager that the foster, the else in which was a drunkard who was supported by the west of the absurdity of trying to go 1st of all and 500 die than a 150 dies and really effectively all to me in one day, the transition from the socialist economy to a market economy was truly absurd. and the american economists, philosophy responsible that including jeffrey sachs, when i say improve, she's turned dramatically since then. finally admitted.
