time to sit down and talk with one civilian is reported, killed and several others wounded in the shelling of a russian village near the ukrainian border. local officials said the ukrainian military committed the attack. meanwhile, almost a 1000 ukrainian troops surrender at mario poles. as of the stalls steel factory with captured neo nazis from the as of battalion due to stand a trial for alleged war crimes with creation joins turkey and blocking an attempt by nordic countries, finland and sweden, to inter nato saying that their security concerns have not been adequately

addressed and should put in for the license, must have unrestricted access to will marcus without ins on it. the un calls on russia to restore food supplies to global markets. as moscow puts a retaliatory ban on the exports of fertilizers and grains in response to western sanctions, over russia's military offensive in ukraine. with broadcasting lab direct from studios and moscow, this is our to international, and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now at least one civilian has been reported killed and several wounded in the shelling of the russian village of chilton up near the ukrainian border. now the governor of the surrounding course region has accused ukrainian military of conducting the strikes which damaged several houses and a local distillery there. emerge personnel have been working to put out fires and

rescue local residents. earlier, moscow had warned ukraine not to attack russian territory, otherwise, the russian military would strike kids decision making centers. of course, our newsroom is following the situation. it is developing. we will keep you updated as we get more information ourselves. and these are the latest images released by russia's defense ministry from the dumbass city of variable where more ukranian combatants surrendered at the stall factory on wednesday, at least $959.00 troops are said to have handed themselves over to russian lead forces there over the past 3 days or cheesy, was done off comments. while the fight is from the as of style still works, they keep surrendering again. the processes are going on rather slowly, but not because the militia internets, people's republic, or russia, are reluctant to take in these prisoners of war. but rather because there were so many of them, in fact, the commanders of the de nest people's militia. they have said that they estimated

that there were, may be hundreds of neo nazi fighters and ukrainian soldiers hiding in the catacombs underneath the as of south steel works. but in fact, the actual number turned out to be around 2500. so more than 2000 now again, people are surrendering neo nazis. us rendering soldiers are surrendering surprisingly, a lot of women among them. but the top brass, the top command of the, as of near nazi battalion, the ones that were making statements that were appealing to the pope, to the authorities, to the international community publicly. they are still down there in the bunkers and it is unclear as to when they will surrender. and in fact, what they are planning to do next. now those who are injured because there are quite a few of those they are, they receive medical care, they are in a very poor state. many have burns all over their bodies. many have lost limbs, or in general their, their wounds are infected. and in fact,

it would have made all the difference if they had received orders to surrender earlier because rope white a few even lives may have been saved by the doctors have internet people's republic . so, but again, they did not receive that order. they received orders to stay put the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian command, and made the decision to keep all those very, very badly injured people without access to proper medicine. again, to keep surrendering and those who are healthy, they aren't being placed in a hotel or anything like that. they're being placed role in the penitentiary for. so let's ease again, not because they have received any sentence already, but rather this is how the authorities here are sending a message that these people they have been captured, that they have surrendered and they are prisoners of war. wounded soldiers who surrender from are your pals as old style factory have been sent to a hospital in the nearby town of noval as offs. good. now we heard from some of

them pushing in one were being treated decently. there was no physical or psychological pressure on me. the food is excellent, the doctors checked my leg and said everything will be fine. so a please were being treated very well. i have a shrapnel wound and a torn tendons. they help us treat us and they said that after half a year of rehabilitation, everything will be fine for us to synthesize a doctors, provided me with 1st aid bandages, and food. i really can't complain. turkey has expressed opposition to allowing nordic countries, sweden and finland into the nato alliance, accusing them of having threatened turkeys, national security with economic pressure and support for militants that on cra, considers terrorists. you know, tony, through here as being supporting the open door policy. nato, even before this war,

but the biggest it to this possible candidate is already candidate countries. you know, we have also legitimate security concerns that they have been supporting detritus, organizations, and they're also an expert restrictions on defense products. initial reports said turkey blocked the official process of accepting finland and sweden in tomato just hours after the northern countries handed in their applications at the headquarters of the military block on christ says it is against the seeing those 2 countries joined the alliance unless they stop supporting rebel groups, particularly the kurds and hand over suspects that are the turkey says our terrorists, swedish and finish officials have reportedly been planning to visit on cra for negotiations, but turkeys president says that they should not bother trying to convince him without complying with on chris demands, we did get him, he's done. our only expectation from nato allies is for them to 1st understand our

sensitivity respect and finally support it. so what is our sensitivity protecting our borders from terror attacks? you won't give us back terrorists, but you ask us for nato membership. nato is an entity for security and organization for security. therefore, we cannot say yes to the security organization being deprived of security. the session of the to nordic countries would require the approval of all 30 nato member states with such a decision than requiring ratification by national parliaments in a process that could take a year. we have gauged opinions on the streets of the swedish capital, where some locals have mixed feelings about their country, potentially leaving behind its traditional neutrality. i think it's part of our identity. country within nato. also 2 exercises of different kinds, but it still i think it's a big shift for our identity. i think it's a bad one because we have always been free from such associations and that we would

be a part that can that can discount people together. if that over being dependency on hoary and so on. i think it's the right decision to make right now. but that doesn't mean that we abandon our, our foreign or defense politics because we can change not the from within. i think another hot bed of resistance within nato is in creation with its president was around him, a lot of which of following turkey in stonewalling, finland and sweden attempt to join the block of the creation leader has called upon the parliament and the countries representative to the lines to shut down the deal, citing grievances that western countries have not pushed back in her to go out to reform electoral law to let the local creation. community members have more autonomy. mulanda,

which has also said that letting those nordic countries join the blog would be a quote, very dangerous adventure. meanwhile, on cars move has sparked renewed tensions within nato as the u. s. and a number of its allies have been pushing for those 2 north countries to join the block. grace's prime minister recently asked the u. s. congress to next a deal to sell advanced weaponry to turkey and denounced on cra as a, quote, source of instability. the greek leader has also expressed concerns about buying the proposal to approve $400000000.00 worth of weapons for turkey, including missiles and equipment for anchors fleet. american made f. 16 fighter jets that's while greece is processing a deal to buy the latest u. s. at 35 jets, the 3 major forces, if warmer, turkish ambassador to the you told us that grace is in no position to buy expensive weapons from the us. the degree got to choose it. so there are several

reasons, so that if for the, for example, grease increases its territorial, well the water, so 12 hours a, it would be internal c for grease and it's hard to ship. so what us permission to trust it agrees you know, the army get, so the record, leave it behind the scene again, the united states, our friends are playing a major role. another point, greece is a bankrupt country and they're buying from united states for $13000000000.00 worth of the place. for example. what does this mean? ho? who is financing the? and it is, if you consider to be a and a country und dash deeply, and then you know,

this financing is gaming, go sure. well, on cra, has been pushing back against the proposed expansion of nato. some western media outlets have been spreading calls to isolate turkey within the alliance community and even pitching proposals that turkey should be kicked out of the block christmas policies that are on tonight. it's not to know any more. it's time to external turkey. they don't let it go to russia, but it go to china, let it go to long, good written turkish political scientist owner seen on a ton says that some western powers have been seeking to undermine turkey. is to western media, reflective voice of state governments. it's normal for such needs and they will issue to come out against if the western media objective, i will talk that the best that they would consider these facts. although turkey has

been a member of nato since 1952 western countries have never stopped their anti turkish activities. i mean, it was what kind of for us that the members of nato, like united states of america, france, germany, belgium, has to be them. and the finance and the others also, they never stop, not just the sport financially, but also finest military terrorist organizations. like with peachy k y, p g r q id and the good enters organization. also, my personal opinion, as long as western countries attack, turkish touches, national interests, it make more sense for turkey to be in the same earlier with these countries. as i mean the church in nor more share common interests or values with natal today. so i think that, oh,

if the relation school like that between turkey and the best between the, the other network member, it's possible that she can quit the be in it. while nato's cohesion is questioned, russia continues to fortify its eastern alliances with the cfo's secretary general and the head of the chinese led s. c. o. meeting in moscow to discuss some strength and cooperation. more on all of that. later on in the program, the west has called for unrestricted access of russian food and fertilizers to global markets, while at the same time slamming moscow for allegedly, exacerbating hunger crisis in recent months and impoverished parts of the world. that is no effective solution to the food crises without reintegrating ukraine's work with auction, as well as the food and fertilizer products produced by russia and bellows into

world markets, despite the war and the russian foot and fertilizers must that and received excess to what markets without indirect impediments, some of tried to blame the sanctions imposed on russian on the russian federation by the united states and many other countries. for worsening this crisis, this is false. russia leading its war with another terrible but more silent weapon, hunger, and deeper nation president has launched the grain warm, sucking global food crisis. but while un chief gutierrez has blamed russia's actions in ukraine for where some in global food shortages, russia has outlined that the measures and has put in place regarding food exports are aimed at protecting the domestic market. in the face of western sanction, saying that it's actually the west that is responsible for the crisis. food security has been undermined for several years by the illiterate macroeconomic

steps of the collective west. they were escalated in connection with a wave of unilateral and illegitimate anti russian sanctions, which undermined confidence in western governments because of the unpredictability of their actions, as well as disrupted supply chains and created disruptions in international financial flows. the statements by western officials that their bands do not affect the supply of food and fertilizers, are deceitful. russia and ukraine produced almost a 3rd of the world's wheat and half of the sunflower oil with russia also being the world's number 2 producer of po tashay key for laser ingredient. the hindered supply lines have contributed to emerging humanitarian crisis and some nations and iran food prices have risen by 300 percent fueling outrage at the government lumber satellite. the change in prices is horrible. the new prices have limited my family's purchasing power on everything. coming under say, because is shanae, the price changes have greatly affected every $1.00, not just us prices of meeting eggs and fruit have all gone up drastically. prices

rise within hours on yoga. iranians make most of their meals with flower, rice, a wheat, even for us, a middle class family. the new price is a very high this jose, the weaker class 8 macaroni instead of meat and chicken. now even that macaroni is taken off their dinner table. we have to eat plain bread and they are even rationing that plain bread to the prices of essential goods have increased in iran in response to an economic crisis with the country long struggling with us. lead sanctions are you an expert has highlighted the devastating humanitarian impact that the sanctions have had on iran. very important area is the area of all the compliance. that's why some of my recommendations are address and not only government of iran, governments which impose sanctions or international organizations, but also businesses, businesses quite often over comply and reject banks. for example,

reject to do any transactions with anyone who is beast of placed in iran. i have been reported that even foreign country diplomatic agents are facing a problem to get the sellers to the bank accounts, as well as united nations organizations. so these issues, that's why i are really not even advice i request and not only now, but since the last more than the last year. i request governments are businesses bank start to be actively engage and to develop principals, how to avoid over compliance. because over compliance affects human rights of every single individual in the country, not only are on of any country. and moreover, it affects human rights beyond the borders of the country. joe biden has been among those accusing russia of spreading this information online with the use of bots. but a new audit in the u. s. has revealed that many of the president's own social media

followers might not actually be real people largest racial blevins reports. well, it appears that job, ivan isn't nearly as popular as his number's claim. he is at least on twitter, that's according to a recent audit which found that out of bivens more than $22000000.00 followers. nearly half of those are actually fake accounts. now this audit was conducted by the software company sport toro, and they use a tool to look at everything from profile pictures to profile history to profile location. and in doing so, they found that more than 49 percent of the followers on the official quotas account on twitter are actually fake. now this all comes as billionaire on mosque has announced that he is putting his $44000000.00 deal to buy twitter on pole because he says he doesn't quite believe twitters claim. that less than 5 percent of the accounts on their platform are fake. 20 percent fake spam accounts,

while 4 times what twitter claims could be much higher. my offer was based on twitters s t. c. filings being accurate. twitter ceo publicly refused to show proof of less than 5 percent. this deal cannot move forward until he does now bitin has yet to respond specifically to this report. however, in the past, he has talked a lot about bots or more specifically russian bonds. so it does raise the question of how he would feel about these new claims that nearly half of his own followers are those bots he claims to be so concerned about. the russians don't want me to be the nominee. i spent a lot of money on botch on facebook and they've been taken down st. biden's a bad guy, the no one bite and running. so it's bad for biden, and it's also bad for twitters current owners, as it appears that the percentage of his followers on twitter that are fake is actually higher than his current approval rating from the american people, which stands at just 39 percent. meanwhile,

the by the ministration has put on hold its plans to create a so called disinformation governance board. the initiative had faced weeks of backlash with critics describing it as it is toby in ministry of truth. one proposal was to allow verified twitter users to edit other users tweets. in response to the outcry, the white house is newly appointed spokesperson has said that outside forces miss characterized biden's initiative. the more it was put for it for a purpose, right? to make sure that we really did a really did address what was happening across the country when it came to dis information. it's going to pause. there's been a mis character ations from outside outside forces. this is what's happening. there is a pause. we did not have an involvement in that you've got the white house trying to distance themselves. now from the whole ministry of truth, this information campaign, the press secretary doing that, we know nothing about this. i may be showing my age, but some people may remember the old sit. com hogans heroes. we have sergeant

schultz constantly saying, i know nothing. i see nothing. and maybe that's what divide it ministration is going to do now from completely yes, just about knowledge of their own ministry of truth. i think it's ironic that this, these guys are trying to do a dis information or ministry of truth to try and ferret out the truth. while we know that a lot of the information being good out on his twitter account and that he relied on with the whole russian hoax was, was just, you know, made up while you're having this whole bought controversy on twitter. part of what this ministry of truth or just information was going to do is try to ferret out bots that were putting this information out there. i think there were probably less bots putting out this information than were followers of, of president biden. i think the best indication frankly, is that you're seeing democrats in the house in the us house retire in huge numbers . they don't want to go back to being back benchers. they don't want to lose their committee chairman ships. so you're seeing people that are leaving on the democratic side, and you've even got democratic consultants predicting a slaughter at the ballot box this november. so i think everything that we're

hearing from their side would indicate that to republicans. it might be good. so the republican side the u. s. is easing some of its crippling sanctions on venezuela, allowing major american oil company chevron to restart operations in the south american country. that's after years of washington. heavily criticizing venezuelan president nicholas maderos government and encouraging and overthrow of his leadership. washington authorized us in european oil companies to negotiate and resume operations in venezuela. on the surface it looks like a total turnaround is zigzag. the united states is saying that chevron and american oil companies can start doing business. some of the sanctions are be lifted. now you'll recall that that is waylon is led by the united socialist party, started by hugo chavez and later now it's nicholas enduro to leave the country. and the u. s. a has been trying to crush you that way. the u. s. crippling sanctions

they say that are intended to flip the maximum pressure on the country to remove its like did leaders from a socialist party. there have been qu attempts where the united states has been proven to be involved in trying to overthrow the government trying to have a military coup trying to stabilize the country. the united states has withdrawn recognition from the venezuelan president nicholas darrow and named juan guido, as somehow being the legitimate leader of that way. so all of this is going on and we've heard nothing but hostile rhetoric against that israel, from us leaders from the previous 4 administration. here's what we heard from the trumpet ministration. when it came to the government in caracas, against the repressive regime targeting matures inner circle and close advisors, the regime, a former president nicholas madura is illegitimate, but madura griffin, tyranny will be smashed and broken. the day after the majority regime falls,

there is a bright future for the venezuelan people and take the following actions to isolate the duro dictatorship. if you support them enduro regime you too are subject to sanctions. at this point, we've continued to hear this kind of rhetoric coming from anthony blink and then other figures in the bible ministration. they continue to refer to nicholas darrow as a brutal dictator. the usa has not restored diplomatic relations with that as well in government. so that's the situation, but now this new news comes in and it is understood that this is related to the changing us energy policy. usa wants to completely cut off russian oil. and already to do so, they might have to start getting oil from places they had previously cut off the rearrangement of how un sanctions and us energy policy will operate as they move ahead to target russia. now, despite the fact that this seems like a complete turnaround on unnamed official within the bi new ministration says that the trump era policies of maximum pressure are still in effect. this isn't the

policy change. we want to be very clear about this point. sanctions on the missouri regime will remain in place. we are not doing this to reverse trumps maximum pressure campaign. our policy overall has not changed. well, it would certainly look like a shift in policy. however, they maintain the goal is still the same. they are still trying to the stabilize and bring down the bad as well and government with maximum pressure on the surface . the fact that now chevron is moving in and now american companies will be able to do business at some thanks and will be lifted. that seems to indicate otherwise, the observers are going to have to watch and wait and see what develops out of this dr. jack grasp miss a professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college of california thinks that this is a convenient way for us to resolve venezuelan oil to western europe. i think the real thing here is that behind the scenes, the real issue is to allow,

that is rayleigh, to ship some oil to russian europe. you know, biden is make some real commitments to western europe and they cut off russian oil where they're going to get this all from to divide western europe. well, you know, maybe venezuela, i think in a back door the whole idea is still at venezuela, and i can produce about 800000 barrels a day, which is what the us was providing roughly to euro. it'll be able to ship some of that to western europe in the short run. i think that's, that's the thing behind the scenes that really you know, the, the real objective here on the surface you're going to see all this, you know, fake negotiations. venezuela. you know, the us will never lead venezuela, often hook and restore relationships with venezuela. while nato's unity is questioned. in the west,

russia continues to fortify its eastern alliances. the heads of the russian lead collective security treaty organization and the shanghai cooperation organization met in moscow on wednesday to start a new phase of partnership. the c s t o secretary general stamps, love exhausts said. his organization is been closely following the growth of the s c o authority in the international arena. he said that the meeting between the alliance is 2. leaders was only the 2nd in history and expressed a desire to build peace and strengthen cooperation between russia and neighboring china. after beijing indicated last month, their intention to collaborate more with the c s t o. looper just in the course that we welcome china's desire for involvement with a c s t l, because we have the same approaches on many issues. they have the same views on security, both globally and regionally. china has a very balanced and independent position in global politics is worthy of respect. and therefore, we welcome it's aspiration. but we are open for interaction and cooperation with

china. the c s t o formed 2 decades ago, and it consists of post soviet estates in eurasia, including bell roofs. armenia, tragic, stung, curious, done, and context on faced with unrest that broke out in january conflicts, downs, government requested c. s t o assistants to fend off what caused sounds. president says was a threat to the country sovereignty from tens of thousands of alleged terrorists of cfo, deployed some $2500.00 troops to guard key facilities in cars exam, though it was only in a few cities and for less than 2 weeks after the meeting with his chinese counterpart on wednesday, stanislaus is us discredited western attempts to divide the kremlin from its eastern allies. to keep up with care, we know about these attempts to spark some kind of discord or drive a wedge between our countries. in my opinion, this is all aimed at discrediting russia as a regional leader. that is hopeless after the meeting of the leaders of the c s t o

countries. after listening to our heads of states, it is clear that attempts to separate our countries will lead to nothing. we will maintain our unity and our organization will continue to develop. there is no doubt about that. are organisations foundation and the need for it are too strong and that does it for me, this are i'll be back in about 31 minutes with more news. this is our to international students the ah.

with a do some is mr. running the phone but it will be awesome with more very well here. well, but we deal with.
