[000:00:00;00] ah ah, russia releases footage of over 250 ukranian soldiers, mostly from the ultra nationalist. i was off battalion who surrendered in the city of modern people after a long siege. kiev, however, is portraying the event as an evacuation. western media outlets are marked for releasing the narrative coming out of care by releasing and accurate videos without proper fact checks. we'll take a look at a number of examples. bonded italian journalist questions, the west coverage of the conflict, while also claiming the vision is widening between his government's actions and how the country citizens feel about russians

with across the globe around the clock. this is our team, thanks for choosing us for your world news update. today i'm, you know, neil, the russian defense ministry saves hundreds of ukrainian service men, the majority members of the neo nazi els. off battalion worse, rounded in a steel plant in mar, you pull up surrendered, ruinous ulysses, consider also as russian armed forces continue, a special military operation in ukraine. the surrender of the militants of the nationalist is av battalion and ukrainian service men who were surrounded at the as austell plant. in mary you, paul began yesterday. but as of now, $265.00 militants have laid down their arms, including $51.00 who were seriously wounded over toilets. all of those in need of medical care were sent for treatment to the hospital in nova, as oscar in the donnas peoples republic. or you're like this little nickel when

we're just outside the hospital in the town of no vas office. this is where those injured from the catacombs of the eyes of star feel works are being admitted fast. in fact, the was of this medical facility have seen the 1st batch of injured prisoners of war all ready. and we've talked to the medics and to the volunteers and they're telling me that those inch as they are in a very poor state and a very difficult condition because down there under ground, they didn't have access to proper medicine. in fact, they had access to barely any medicine at all, so many of their wounds are infected this past. and as it's, it's very nasty and it's unclear as to will. some of them will be able to retain, to keep their limbs, for instance. now we've just come from maria full hits, just over an hour drive from here to as of style. and then, well, we saw dozens of buses lined up along the road just outside the factory just

outside the plant. and along with them as military vehicles, as well as a military personnel of all sorts and this column and stretches of 4 hundreds of meters. so something very massive is expected there. so because, well again, that's more than 2000 people who are well surrendering right now. the ukranian sized aside says it's an evacuation, it is naught, it is a surrender. and so they are. so it is a lengthy process. so it takes and for them to all, to be filtered and to be put on buses and to be put here again, the process is not, it's not fast again, just a quick reminder for you, for over well over a month, more than 2000 people were hold up deep on the ground in the catacombs under the as of style still works that though they were essentially they were the only garrison left in mar, hugo. they were completely surrounded by the russian forces, by the forces of the,

the next people's republic. they was shelled relentlessly. they tried the try to fight back, but without the support of their government, they were abandoned by cave and by their commanders. so despite all their please to the pope to again to the authorities to the international community. help didn't come, so now they are surrendering. they made this decision. they are saying that this was prompted by the command from low, from above, somewhere from there for, from, from care of. but again, this is, they are capitulating. they are, they're saying we can fight any more. and initially there were, there were about to see only those injured were about to surrender. but now we know for a fact that those who are still healthy, they are laying down arms and going into russian captivity becoming prisoners of war to all, despite as he go was going through their ukranian trips, laying down their arms. western media betrayed the event and evacuation relating

the words of ukrainian officials who said the soldiers have called left the plant with the support of numerous organizations, both ukrainian and international. they made no mention of the involvement of russian or dan yet republic troops. we spoke to a journalist who said the narrative shows the importance of this war for the west. i think this is an indication of the importance of this war to the last. you know, this isn't the existential war on so many different levels. there are now some mainstream major outlet, particularly la mon infront. that is, and i think the new york times is addressing the war crimes committed against russian prisoners or for by the ukrainian forces, particularly the as overnight or battalion. for example. here instead of course, we see a very civilized operation. we see russian soldiers

a tearing international law to geneva convention treating these as of brigades, soldiers and ukrainian forces with medical treatment, taking them to hospital, treating them with their respect and dignity that was not given to russian. pay out of the news. and the fact that worse than major is ignoring the difference in the behavior of both sides is indicative of their hypocrisy. and actually the criminal support of criminal, and they cannot admit that the russian forces that they have portrayed as the brutal invaders are the one thing with decency and humanity. the ukrainian defense ministry meanwhile, has published a video of its army, claiming they've pushed by russian forces at the border near har, called the countries 2nd largest city. but questions are being raised about the footage does. among other things that soldiers are heard saying they came to the

frontier on april 15th, but the video for some reason wasn't published until a full month later or correspond. maria phenomena told me more. most of western media have been very quick to spread this news that he have sold them and they were either not very professional, not very accurate with information that were offered or, and other guess is that maybe the idea was to make people believe that it was true that the brennan forces reached the border with russia in high to complete and pushing the russian troops back. no met. and it doesn't matter. let me how close to reality toys and it seems i wasn't quite close to things on the ground. first of all, the days. indeed, the footage was released on may 15th, but the soldiers in the postage or whoever the od maybe the actors, they say a for let's take

a listen. i'm with, with how to explain why i call them actors because later in other media was published, showing the same group of people in military uniform carrying. you can see it right now on the screen. carrying the frontier posed the same blue and yellow board opposed that these people are gathered around in the footage south. got astonishing is that because you can understand for morale reasons to hang up, but actually taping it. but footage of them lifting it through what seems to be a forest dots surely again. yeah, i think on someone decided to to, to film it so that now we can see that they were carrying these post to the film in . does this ra choose and a site shows that it's not a real case and it's not a real frontier. and this whole thing was not true, but interesting is that this latest be do with these people carrying the post was

mostly ignored by west media behind spreading the news. and even after it was clearly fake. they didn't even bother to, to remove this fake news from the painted thing else. i want to put out to the reuters news agency. maria has seen questions raised for publishing an article using a photo claiming to show ukrainian soldiers on the front line. it, i think it's the sumi region, but the people in the picture they're carrying pink bowl guns. so that is pretty basic stuff, but can have huge ramifications as you were saying if it's believed yet again, this is information war that we're leaving. and apart from having a real bloody will on the ground and stakes are very high. who cares about the truth? been seriously, like i without justifying o at sac jeanette fake news about military success is something that i can understand. you know, at least the aim is clear, but painful picture while you report on russians been repelled by ukrainians in similar region. i mean, to me, it's more like about disrespect to journalists. mm. as a whole,

a lack of professionalism. and if you read the comments to this, reuters tweet, you can understand the people. i mean, the ticket the same way i did. well, i never since when is a war being fought with pe ball guns, or is this the new armaments that europe and the usa is paying billions for really it reuters next time get your photos correct. do you guys need to vet your images better? those are paint ball guns and masks. those aren't soldiers in combat. does anyone at reuters ever go to a shooting range or play pain ball? so yeah, it is a shame and you can see people at here as people are everybody in the saddest thing is that this is a blighted conflict. and people from both sides are exhausted. not rotors, ac tire, you know, may be on, on, you know, for reporting on ukraine, but people, they are dying, they're suffering, and they wanted to come to an end as soon as possible, and they want peace. and sometimes i think that we as channel is as media community, we can try to help promote peace negotiations. you know,

there were several rounds of talks, but eventually, sadly, stop. so we can try to do something to, to bring sides together to push them back to table. but we see the opposite. you know, most of the media they have fueling this conflict and you know, it doesn't help. more died seem to be emerging about the mainstream media narrative on the ukraine conflict. a popular italian author and independent journalist has addressed russians on his youtube channel, saying that italians are not against them on the real problem is room following the heard on imposing sanctions on moscow. we got his take on the western coverage of the offensive a complete dental craner should. if he listened to the italian media, there is only one true narrative, one correct interpretation of the situation in ukraine. one way putin is evil and zalinski is the victim. there isn't even the slightest mention of the fact that the u. s. nato could also be responsible. another thing that's ignored is the history

of relations between russia and ukraine. nobody is taking the effort to look at how things had been in the past in order to better understand the factors that may have pushed russia to attempt to reclaim ukraine's territories. a sham we. we seen a lot of opinion polls in italy, showing that over 50 percent of italians are against sending alms to crate. and these will polls conducted by the media. so the real number is probably even higher . and we don't even know where these weapons are actually going. the italian government is telling us that we're sending alms to ukraine so as to help the ukranian army in reality, however, as evidence and they were report saying that these weapons end up in the hands of neo nazi groups. when you go back a law did, she took the decision to impose sanctions against russia. that wasn't even a decision made by italians. it's a european decision that our country has accepted and we want to make decisions for ourselves. but that's not happening. and these sanctions have precisely the

opposite effect to what was intended. they were supposed to have a punitive effect, as it were to increase prices for the people and the government that undecided actions. but instead we immediately see them back fire on us. as the cost of goods and services sore is in the us, americans are seeking answers for such high inflation. for many of them, including some of the richest people in the world, the finger is pointed firmly at the u. s. president and his administration will escrow live now to our correspondent kill of my pen. hi there, caleb. yeah, that criticism against joe biden appears to be growing on some big names or having their voices heard on the issue. sure. no one seems to be buying the body ministrations claim that the rising inflation is actually all the fault of russia. we have to rich man, now on mosque and jeff, they those both speaking up and blaming by for the increasing problem of inflation

in the u. s. economy, here's what was said most, but unions aren't causing inflation and neither are wealthy people. remember, the administration tried their best to add another $3.00 trillion dollars to federal spending. they failed, but if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today. and inflation today is at a 40 year high. the honest reason for inflation is that the government printed a zillion amount of more money than it had. this is not super complicated. this administration just doesn't seem to get a lot done. now it's important to point out that jeff bezos is the owner of the washington post. he is a staunch democrat. you have a lawn mosque speaking there as well. he just purchased twitter and acquired ownership or twitter. and the 2 of them are blaming the by did ministration. now the situation is getting worse for americans. if you just look at the fact that

this point that we're talking about 8.3 percent rise and inflation and april, the producer price index is up 11 percent over last year. that's quite a significant increase. a goods are simply costing more. now we had the fox news, how is tucker carlson, lashing out at biden administration for their handling of the economic situation in the united states. here's what tucker carlson said. people who run our economy in the u. s. government caused inflation united states and they did it the old fashioned way by printing a ton of money very quickly. and that divide or currency is printing a ton of money very quickly. always does. now a poll show that in taxes, for example, a half of the residents blame the biden administration for the rising costs, and that's to rating situation in the country. many americans are just not happy with the economic situation. they were led to believe that things would get better . as the pandemic faded away, i trump was supposed to have been responsible, and biden was coming in to save the day and fix things from prompts mismanagement.

but the economic situation seems to have deteriorated. a lot of americans are unhappy and mid term elections in which the united states will elect a new congress are approaching. people will be heading to the polls in november. so at this point, things don't look good. the democratic party of jo. bye. hey, thanks for bringing us through that ortiz kill my pin. in new york, china is leading english language newspaper. the global times has voiced that supports of india, after new deli decision to bomb we to exports led to g 7 condemnation. the article denounces the west upon double standards for not increasing their own country's wheat exports to stabilize the market. now the agriculture ministers from g 7 urge indian not to ban wheat exports. but why won't g 7 nations themselves move to stabilize food markets supply by hiking their exports. the west just wants to shift the blame to the developing economies,

including india. the decision to bomb exports comes amid food security issues in india, itself as a predicted per harvest. on the normally strong heat wave grips the country leading to a record rise in prices. and it is the world's 2nd largest weak producer animals expected to replace russian exports sanctioned by the west g 7 countries huffstutter against the move, citing the potential damage. it could do to developing nations legged, the export ban affects countries like bangladesh in the pool, which urgently need it. 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 stood guard. we also call on india to assume its responsibilities as a member of the g 20. this restriction would not apply in cases where prior commitments have been made by private trait,

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 governance. while china and india are important trading partners and have extended their strategic and military relations, border disputes though, between the 2 nations have taken center stage in recent years, has been quite spikey. neither moved by china to support indian energy interests may know though, demonstrate a thawing and relations between the neighbors. let's get into that with pac none. one, senior lecturer in the department of politics, languages, and international studies. at the university of bath, you're very welcome to the program. so china is apparently supporting india's weak export on how significant is something like that for, for indian chinese relations partner. ah, i think we looked he, i think we need to look at this

a message from the chinese government in the larger picture. and of course the chinese government has been working to improve the china india relation 6 to us all on the dispute. but if you look at these foot crisis issue, it has to do with continuing concern body chinese copland regard thing, us sanctions on russia because the u. s. stations on russia is not just censuring russia essential and anti will. and these foot crisis the prize hike. he's not just being seen by india. if you look at other countries, the situation is the same. for example, indonesia, they banned the exploitation of bomb bomb oil. and now in the west, we will view the price of the chocolate or not. and these are all because of the

portfolio and palm oil obviously has affected india also. so no, because india has to import wheat from russia and ukraine. and the war in ukraine has also impact on the obviously because of the u. s. sanction of the us dollar. now i think i think all these are tied up now and for the chinese government to say this now obviously give a message to speaking on behalf of india on behalf of other countries. in other statistics, it's very varying. kenya. brett prizes, that's why some 40 percent in some areas and 11 on even up to 70 percent. i think i think i think we are we are now in a boarding point. yeah. is this going to be help a lot? i mean, all the sanctions going on russia and because of the situation, it has a lot of and reporting effect on the anti global solve so. so i think, i think, i think it is reasonable for the chinese government to speak up these time. yeah.

china, indian relations pack them the haven't, does you well know? always been the warmest, but in a roundabout way is western pressure pushing both countries. the work closer together, which i would imagine may make washington and brussels somewhat nervous. actually in recent months we can see india has been taking some moves, wage res, concerned of the washing the d. c. and also some of the western european countries . and if you look at what happened after the us war, i mean, the indian has been working on their own to increase more oil imports from russia. and obviously i think it's very clear that the union has been working on the kind of norm aligned foreign policy agenda on themself. and they are basically trying to enhance their own nationals development as

a career interest and for the western country and the washington dc to give more pressure on either is expected. but i don't thing in this particular time because of the full crisis and all the information heis and the indians would be able to comply with everything that the west would ask for. and so therefore, for the chinese to speak up at this time, there's also a technical meaning on that. yeah, an india is, is standing firm, isn't it? it's saying we look after our own interest 1st, particularly not because they've got the perfect storm there and not in a good way record heat wave low cropped numbers. they say they need their supplies for 1300000000 people and any type of western pressure. well, it's just not going to stick. no, no. the indian will stick with their own domestic agenda, and they have a huge population to feed. and therefore,

i think before the more the government to think about this 30 critical issue at the moment. any kind of pressure on that will not help them. so i would expand because of these policy measures to bend. we export. i think in the west we're going to have a bit more inflation room to go up. and yeah, there's a lot of from of acacia isn't there at partner, as always. thank you very much for your tech pack. none long. senior lecturer up the department of politics, languages on international studies at the university of thought. thank you. and you know, the west african state of molly has nines. it's withdraw from the g. 5. saw hill organization after being rejected for the presidency of the group. bama co believes external pressure was behind them, it's before you. so it is of those that are just the government of the republic of molly firmly rejects the argument of

a g 5 member state which advances the internal national political situation to reject molly's exercising. the g 5 to hell presidency is really not the opposition of some g, 5 to hell member states to molly's presidency as linked to maneuvers by state outside the region. aiming desperately to isolate molly. as a result, in what the government of molly is deciding to withdraw from all the organs and bodies of the g. 5 to health, including the joint force with the local for august. yet just to point out, the g 5 sal grouping is a regional organisation comprised of bertino fuss. so chad, molly mauretania and niger in 2017 and established an integer. how this forced to fight terrorism in the region which has claimed thousands of lives and force people to flee their homes. at this winter, molly was to take over the presidency of the chief fife, but a meeting of member states. well, it never took place while announcing the withdrawal. the government noted the lack

of funding and or progress of that organization. o'malley has been the target of sanctioned by other west african states. that's aggravated on employment on poverty in the country and not says a civil war has been ongoing. there the authorities doing battle as well as we mentioned against many terrorist groups. a military government has been running the country since a coo and 2020, despite numerous attempts to overthrow it. several days ago, it breached the defense. a court held with france, whose soldiers have been involved in an anti terrorism drive there since 2013. that campaign, however, has caused much discontent among molly citizens discarding the pack with paris was branded on justified. i'm going against international norms, but despite external pressure, molly is continuing to boost ties with russia, including receiving more military aid from moscow to compact. the rising to harvest thread and we discussed the latest developments in molly with a local journalist who offered his thoughts on the g 5 to help help in fighting

terrorism there. because it says anybody in recent years, the joint g 5 sal forces have been unable to prove their effectiveness g to budgetary issues, as well as the accusations of human rights violations. this project couldn't succeed in terms of counter terrorist activities, nor in the field of development. is there was no structural development project, which is what the sal states wanted, among the countries that took part in the anti terrorist operations. we can note friends with its operation ball k, which is currently being wound up. i think french forces will completely withdraw by june or july. molly also saw the european to cooper mission, which is now also withdrawing its troops. as for russia right now, we're talking about corporation in the field of training for molly and military personnel. nevertheless, the framework of this corporation remains unclear. it's unknown how many russian instruct is a hair at this moment in time. and what kind of training they're engaged in. the current situation is very complicated. it's difficult to get a,

a picture of the prospects to combating terrorism in malia yes, situation will be closely following here on our team. okay. time in moments for another visit to the world's apart studio is find out who is our house for companies today. right? and this is our tradition a so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic, that development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully,

very critical time. time to sit down and talk with me knowing welcome to worlds apart. there is a pearl of russian folk wisdom that says good fortune would never have materialized if it weren't for a misfortune. the war in ukraine seems to gram and grow, so just thinking about anything positive coming out of it. but what is this dark cloud or rather a manger geopolitical storm, also had a silver lining. to discuss that, i'm now joined by steve keen and it's traveling economist and on there a research fellow at the university college london,

kim. it's great to talk to. it's a fairly rare treat for me. this is just the western thinkers, so i'm particularly appreciative of that. thank you. i'm glad to be invited and particularly knowing this will be on it. so anybody who sees this 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 of our so if any of the western speakers, once you come in on the show and have more than welcome to do that. now it comes to the current events in your crane. i think the western part, a line or the predominant western narrative is that, 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 it. 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 that accords to your understanding of what is happening in your brain. no, it doesn't. and 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 side of the russian to faith of economic orthodoxy. and in that i went through the history of how to cicily american economists had advised, the american government and the soviet, the russian governmental, soviet union collapsed with the best way to transit from socialism to capitalism was 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 both forces with just 2 fragmentation and breakdown of russian society,
