[000:00:00;00] aah with moscow says captured ukrainian, neo, nazis must be face justice and thus cannot be exchanged for russian prisoners of war. that, as russia says that more than $260.00 ukrainian soldiers, mostly from the neo nazi as of the tally and have surrendered at an embattled steel factory in the port. the city of mario, both in r t cru follows events on location. we're expecting a hundreds of people, hundreds of neo nazi for like to has to lay down arms and well get on the bus is also this. our washington seeks to expand its own authority for investigating alleged crimes abroad. despite long criticising attempts by the international

criminal court to prob alleged u. s. war crimes in the middle east. and the reveals a loophole for companies to legally purchase russian gas without violating the sanctions. with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us now as hundreds of ukrainian fighters from a besieged factory. admirable surrender to dunbar forces. russia's parliament suggests prohibiting prisoners from ukraine's neo nazi as of battalion from being exchanged . a stork, asa, ne of our position regarding the nazis here must remain unchanged. criminal nazi prisoners should not be exchanged me and these are war criminals and we must do everything to ensure they are brought to justice. russia's defense ministry has announced that more than $260.00 ukranian service men, including from the neo nazi as of battalion,

have surrendered from their positions in the embattled steel factory in mar, you will. the captured soldiers have been taken to areas in done yet under the control of dumbass forces. moscow has guaranteed it in accordance with international standards, marchese was done of comments from the site of the surrender. so you can see the military column of the nets, people's republic hand rush up, both made up of civilian vehicles like dozens of buses. they go all the way downhill over there, all the way down the street, also military vehicles and of course ambulances, including the intensive care vehicles as well. because, well, there's a lot of injured among those who are still hold up on the has of style steel seal works, which is just beyond those houses. right now. they're staying put, they're expecting, they're expecting, we're expecting a hundreds of people, hundreds of neo nazi fighters to lay down arms and well get on the buses. those who are injured, they will be taken to

a hospital and they will get treatment. there are those who are well still fit, those who are healthy. ah, well, they will be put someplace else with russia waiting for more nationalist forces in more, you will to surrender some of those who laid down their arms in previous battles. have decided to help the community while in captivity are t spoke with hospital clean up the good and also carry patience a street outside to change the look of the place we didn't want to fight. why should we and why don't need it? once when we were at the school, the commander told me that i needed to move a tractor. while i ran to start the tractor as they let it somewhere, i started off, they drove out and waited for them. then and personal care drove up, and then as a fighter got out, he asked me who i was told me to move 3 minutes away and 3 times and then told me to lie down on the ground. he came up and started hidden me and wanted to burn my ear with

a lighter. he twisted my fingers and stamped on them with his feet. he said he would take me to his guide, so they would throw me into appeal to me, i didn't know what they would do next. i was just taken out of the track, so we thought about escaping. then we heard that a conscript soldier tried to escape, and as i found him and shot him, we decided to wait for the right moment and we could escape with them when our commanders had all left. we were left alone, not far from the schools who were there. russians were there, but we surrendered to them. and they brought us here despite ukrainian troops laying down their arms. western media has portrayed the event as an evacuation that's relying on the words of ukrainian officials who said the soldiers have quote left the plant with the support of numerous ukrainian and international organizations. they made no mention of the involvement of russian or done yet the troops we heard from stanley johnny, a senior journalist at the popular indian newspaper, the hindu. he says that the west overlooks the presence of neo nazis in the

ukrainian armed forces. what actually happen now is thunder. so i don't know if the conditions off this, but back to be what we know is that $200.00 plus those who hold up and in the matter as to the plan, there's 2 options. and then they were taken to don about people to the public. so this, i think management media was not was reluctant to report as a for the battalion and not the organization and all that done. and so i got those was married. and that's all, but i was part of what you thought of the national was us. so these are the facts. these are not propaganda. but the problem is that i think once the war began, the west, you know, try to all look for this,

not the element because they looked at cross size, they may environment. i think they're not going to go to the thrust bogged down and you can on the other side and also have their own started because so when the big, i think the big goal is to actually get bogged down and you're in the rest. i think most out at all looking the fact that you have mouthpiece and or do you have not fears as part of the candy. and for those kids, defense ministry has published a video of its army, claiming it has pushed back russian forces at the countries border near hark of ukraine's the 2nd largest city. but questions have been raised about the veracity of the footage. among other things, soldiers in the video are saying that they came to the frontier on april 15th. but for some reason the footage wasn't published until an entire month later. really my colleague, you know, neil heard from correspondent maria,

from ocean about the matter. most of western media have been very quick to spread this news that he, if 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 know met and it doesn't matter. let me how close to reality tours and it seems i wasn't quite close to things on the ground. first of all, the done, but the soldiers in the postage or whoever the odd may be the actors they say a for let's take a listen with,

with how to explain why i called them actors because later another video was published, showing the same group of people in military uniform carrying, you can see it right now on the screen carrying the frontier post the same blue and yellow board to pose that these people are gathered around in the futon south. got astonishing isn't because you can understand for morale, reasons doing that, but actually taping it, that footage of them lifting it through what seems to be a forest that's surely again. yeah. i think i'd someone decided to do is to film it so that now we can see that they were carrying these post to the film in does this ra chosen a site chase that it's not a real case and it's not a real frontier and is whole thing was not true, but interesting is that this latest be do with these people carrying the price was mostly ignored by west media behind spreading the news. and even after it was clearly fake. they didn't even bother to remove this fake news from they painted

something 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 frontline thing pink bowl gun. so that is pretty basic stuff, but can have huge ramifications as you were saying if it's believed. yeah, again, this is information word that we're leaving and apart from having a real bloody will on the ground and stakes very high. who cares about the truth, but seriously, like i without justifying o at saft and i think 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 journalism as a whole, as 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 pay ball guns, or is this the new armaments that europe and the u. s. a is paying billions for

really it reuters next time get your photos correct. do you guys need to vet your images better? those are paintball 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 a few or is people are angry, but you know, the saddest thing is that this is a bloody 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, me to their fueling this conflict. and, you know,

it doesn't help the u. s. senate has been working to expand its war crime legislation to give us courts jurisdiction over more international cases. washington has said it's a response to russia's military campaign in ukraine or cheese. rachel blevins comments. the united states congress is considering a new bill that would give american courts powers to pursue individuals over allegations of war crimes committed in other countries. and they don't even have to be us citizens, perpetrators committing, unspeakable war crimes, such as those unfolding before our very eyes in ukraine must be held to account. we have the power and responsibility to ensure that the united states will not be used as a safe haven by the perpetrators of these heinous crimes. the new powers would expand the 1996 war crimes act with one really important distinction. americans no longer have to be involved as a victim or the offender,

but if the suspect that's on us soil, they can be tried in court. and there is no statute of limitations. meaning that the charges can never expire while this change has been proposed before, it will always struck down the path over concerned that it would allow the us to get a little too involved in other countries affairs. domestic prosecution based on universal jurisdiction could draw the united states into conflicts in which this country has no place and where our national interests are. slight. however, us lawmakers appear to have a change of heart, and they say it's all because of ukraine. but all american politicians on the freedom to target, anyone in the world, they still don't want the world to put their soldiers on trial. any attempts to do so by the international criminal court have been met with severe backlash over the years. with the bush administration, even signing a bill into law will allow the use of military court in order to free us personnel

who are detained by the i p. c. while the us isn't party to the court anyway, the trump administration actually went as far as going out sanctions against icpc officials back in 2020 all because they plan to investigate the u. s. and as allies over allegations of war crimes. and i can't stand, so what justification did they get for those things? the president will not allow american citizens to be prosecuted by foreign bureaucrats. and he will not allow other nations to dictate our means of self defense. so it's ok for america to pursue and prosecute foreign citizens around the world as they see fit. but if america is alleged means of self defense, violate international law. oh, then accountability is strictly off limits american exceptionalism at its finest. in washington, rachel robins, our t. v. u. s. senate plan have come as the state department has launched a new program to analyze evidence of alleged war crimes in ukraine. the state department has said that the program will initially cost $6000000.00 and will

examine satellite imagery as well as information shared on social media and russia denies targeting civilians. and has said that some suppose it seems of war crimes in ukraine appear to have been staged. we asked international law professor francis boyle on why the u. s. wants to expand its authority on a global level. so public relations, so exercise are part of what we are law professors called warfare using the law as a tool porter. i'm not denying war crimes might have been committed there by ukrainian forces and russian forces. this happens all the time in war, but this is not a good faith investigation by the united states. no, this is, this is law affair using law as a tool of warfare against the russian federation. certainly, that's the way i interpreted. of course,

there's nothing objective about united states government investigating work crimes . went to the united states, come and investigate more crimes and rac, where under bush senior they are killed about 200000 iraqis or in the iraq war 2 by bush junior, where they exterminated maybe 1500000 iraqis and bush and all the rest of his neocons are running around here. scott free. rising tensions between nato members, states, greece and turkey as greece. his prime minister has used an address to the u. s. congress to recall numerous past grievances with neighboring turkey. from an aerospace violation to the invasion of cyprus, he called for the legislature to mix a biden administration deal to sell advanced weaponry to turkey denouncing it as a quote source of instability. the last thing that made on each at a time,

one of focus is on helping ukraine defeat russia's. aggression is another source of instability on nato's south eastern flank and ask you to take this into account when you make defense procurement decisions concerning the eastern mediterranean. decreasing liter has been concerned about buttons, proposal to approve $400000000.00 worth of weapons for turkey, including cutting edge missiles and equipment for anchorage fleet of f. 16 fighter jets, bob. at the same time, greece is processing a deal to buy the latest f $35.00. jeff at greece can be hardly called the only breaking point in relations between nato and turkey. as the main agenda in brussels right now is to accept finland and sweden into the military block, but on cra, is against their membership based on the fact that both of those countries have supported forces. turkey defines as terrorists, those northern kinds stance,

but turkey appears, adamant in its concerns to london, the integral, jess, how can we trust them early? they're coming to turkey on monday to the coming to try and convince us. sorry, where yourselves out of anything else during this process, we cannot say yes to those who host sanctions on turkey and joining nato, which is the security organization. neither country we didn't or finland has an open, clear stance against terrorist organizations. told on being a member of the military block does not mean that on christ should ignore its own national security. this is, according to turkish university. professor burris, the belly, the less has not yet realize how big the conflict is. but gradually the pressure from the u. s at nato will increase because there is little light and time left for the natal mother. and also the u. s. at nato may say,

let's accept feel and susan as members of nato and then we will solve your problems. i have to say this is unacceptable solution for charging nato itself, one citizen and finland membership more than these countries. because natal wants to close multi c to russia by turning the monk c in tune. and natal late turkey has been supporting naples and last month policy open door policy. mother, i have to say supported nettles and largest pulse it. now love mean that we will name new term g. ignore our own nation sector. saw that in that says see the finance, how been supporting terrorist organizations against georgia and 3

hospitals, all the nations centers at the home. the e u commission has updated a guidance on how member states can pay for russian gas as the blog pushes forward with its economic blockade against moscow. warning that opening rural accounts could violate sanctions. it suggests making the payments in hard currency and letting russian entities convert them to roubles on the members. bulgaria and poland were earlier cut off from russian gas supplies because they refused to pay in roubles, thus violating the band by moscow, france, germany, and slovak, you have reportedly agreed to pay in euro's with subsequent conversion to roubles. meanwhile, italian energy company any has said its opening accounts with russia's gas prom bank to keep the supplies flowing as deadlines for the payment of gas supplies are scheduled for the next few days. any has begun the process of opening to current accounts. i guess prom bank the decision has been shared with

the italian institutions. it was taken in compliance with the current international sanctions framework that has italy's prime minister has emphasized that the country's trade with russia remains in a gray area and is not currently violating the sanctions. while e leaders debate about complying with russia's terms for gas payments in rubles, prices have searched and it has hit regular europeans in their pockets. it's left, some italians questioning the decision making by both brussels and rome. but all you go, i am not a politician. i am an entrepreneur, but in my opinion, a different solution could have been found another we could have talked before and not sanction. it is now a disaster. we take gas and oil from russia to make glass. and obviously, after all that is happening, the price has definitely increased, causing us great problems. he's off europe as doing nothing to control prices which have risen significantly. the governments have done nothing to keep the prices of raw materials from rising from there is

a great deal of speculation on these prices. they do what they want. and we entre printers on the other hand, are full of debt because we no longer know how to pay our workers sold on. i'm thank you so, so glad the italian government had to do more well, but the prices of gas and electricity are rising, causing severe economic damage to all factories. it is a very complicated and difficult situation, but i do not really know how to resolve this dramatic story is alvin construction in italy. the engine of the economy is coming to a halt. many companies have debts even as an entrepreneur and distributor. i have many debts and i do not know what to do to put the chain is freezing. it's not a good situation and i see and even darker future for all of us. while the ear struggles with apparent gas shortages as it tries to cut its energy dependence on moscow, moscow's president vladimir putin has warned that if the e u completely ends its russian feel, imports the blocks economy could crash a guess or can i assist you in the rejection of russian energy resources by europe

means in the long term that the region will have the highest cost of energy in the world. a gina, it's apparent, the as russian energy resources become destined for the areas. increasing economic activity will also move from europe to of the regions. this choice of economic suicide of course, is an internal matter for european countries. we must act pragmatically and proceed with our own economic interests 1st. its an apparent paradox, but the situation for europe is that it is heavily dependent on its supply of gas and the gas to get the blood flowing in the blood vessels. it is vital, therefore, there is not really any choice than to accept the conditions that are posed by russia, even if publicly they continue to condemn many countries that france have no call, no gas or oil. europe has a little energy resources, 40 percent of the gas imports in europe is coming from russia. so you cannot just

strike that away. do you need to continue to purchase russian gas? whatever is the means used to do it. it is needed if it's not done, then it means energy will be lacking. why firmly with us president and to the administration or to kill him up in comments. no one seems to be buying the button ministrations claim that the rising inflation is actually all the fault of russia. we have to rich, man, you know, on mosque and jeff, they those both speaking up and blaming by or the increasing problem of inflation in the u. s. economy, here's what was said. they know inflation hurts. the media is the 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 that 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. it's important to point out that jeff de, those is the owner of the washington post. he's a staunch democrat. you have ilan mosse speaking there as well. 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 facts at this point that we're talking about 8.3 percent rise and inflation on april. the producer price index is up 11 percent over last year. that's quite a significant increase. a good there is simply costing more. now we had the fox news house tucker carlson, lashing out at the biden administration for their handling of the economic situation in the united states. here's what tucker carlson said. people who run our economy and u. s. government cost inflation the states and they did it the old fashioned way by printing a ton of money very quickly and that devalued our currency is printing a ton of money very quickly. always does. now a poll show that in texas for example,

half of the residents blame the biden administration for the rising cost and the terry 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. and trump was supposed to have been responsible, and biden was coming in to save the day and fix things from prompts and management . 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 out. people will be heading to the polls in november . so at this point, things don't look good for the democratic party of joe biden. and the main causes in fairy long standing policies of the united states and congress, i would list 3 of 75 years of grossly excessive spending by congress on needed weapons and illegal unnecessary wars. incomplete incompetence of

the so called federal reserve for the last 15 to 20 years or more. the reckless, foolish, counter productive and self destructive economic sanctions that the u. s. has placed on russia, china, iran, venezuela, and many other countries. despite the ramp in inflation, the u. s is set to pass its largest ukraine, a package yet on wednesday to send a total of $40000000000.00 queue. but the list of lawmakers supposed to further aid to ukraine is growing 2 months ago. 3 republicans in the house of representatives voted against the 1st pro ukraine bill, whereas on tuesday, $57.00 republicans in the house opposed a request for weapons and humanitarian aid for if. meanwhile, senate minority leader, mitch mcconnell has criticized fellow republicans opposing the aid as quote, isolationist voices. but democratic candidate jeffrey young again also thinks that

such an amount of military aid could be harmful. it's a disaster it's. it's completely wrong and damaging. and if i had been in the us house of representatives, i would have been the only democrat to vote no. there's no way that this military aid can help defeat russia. that's impossible. it will only either be destroyed by russian missiles or fall into the hands of ukrainian nazis. pakistan's recently ousted prime minister iran calm, has addressed yet another enormous demonstration with tens of thousands of people gathering in the northern city of co, hot to support him. now, the former leader reiterated accusations of us meddling in pakistan's domestic politics suggesting washington orchestrated his dismissal last month. i know

the americans very well. they will never give you their dollars without a reason. if they help you, they will take you deeper into their slavery. i am here today because we have to rise up, we will fight for real independence. con was ousted in a no confidence vote by parliament on april 10th, and then a reputedly pro western politician was installed in his place. con has been laying the blame on the u. s, claiming washington had him removed because he was not following their policy directions. many pakistani have expressed that they just trust the new government and still support con boy amiga. the americans only protect their own interests. they can attack any country if they feel a minor threat to their economic benefits of america gone down. what? who is the u. s. to interfere in our matters? we are poor. okay. we can compromise our self respect, the i'm a little,

they can't force us to do this in that we can't be their slaves come to life. i like those countries that are good friends with us. i don't like the americans. they are enemies because they called slaves and i really can't tolerate that attitude ah, to strengthen cooperation amid rising global instability, experts from china, russia, india, and iran, as well as several other asian countries, have gathered in the russian city of new dawning of grub, for an annual meeting of the vall die discussion club. the club gathers experts in international politics, security, energy, and finance, which this years speakers underlying the importance of collaboration to overcome current, global challenges. we caught up with one of the analysts at the conference for and i think to be honest to security and child is very serious. so to should countries the already phase 2 problems in regular montez monsoon, between lot of flooding are the ice off of destroy the cops. you know,

it also decides all the other areas of water systems and more i would say focus on food security will not only save lives, but it will also contribute directly to the stability you look,
