a ride to meet that week with lisa 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 marbles as of the stalls steel factory with captured, you know, not tease it from the ass off battalion due to stand a trial for alleged war crimes creation, joined to turkey and blocking an attempt by northern 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 what marcus, with the un calls on russia to restore food supplies to global markets. as moscow puts a retaliatory ban on exports of fertilizers and grains in response to western sanctions over russia's military offensive in ukraine. with broadcasting lab direct, more studios in 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. see personnel have been working to put out fires and

rescue local residence 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 marble, where more ukranian combatants surrendered at the stall factory on wednesday. at least 959 troops are said to have handed themselves over to russian lead forces there over the past 3 days or so. it 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 that, and that's 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 next 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, us rendering surprisingly, a lot of women among them. but the top brass, the top command of the, as of neo 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're 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 ro, quite 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, the prism is of war wounded soldiers who surrender from are your pals as hostile factory have been sent to a hospital in the nearby town of noval as office could now we heard from some of

them pushing in on the line 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. so a, so 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 a student who is this has 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 trickier as being supporting the open door policy, a nato, even before this war. but the,

the gossip 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. and chris says it is against 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 are 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 typically miss done, or 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 this security organization being deprived of security. the session of the 2 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 a part of our country within nato, also to terry exercises of different kinds. but it's 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 we would be

a part that can let him discount people together over being different using under lori 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 land or defense politics because we can change not from within. i think another hot bed of resistance within nato is in creation with its president was around him, a lot of which following turkey in stonewalling, finland and sweden attempt to join the block or 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 vena to reform electro law to let the local creation. community members have more autonomy . mulanda,

which has also said that letting those northern countries join the block 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 joined the block graces prime minister recently asked the u. s. congress to mix 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 a proposal to approve $400000000.00 worth of weapons for turkey, including missiles and equipment for anchors fleet. the american made f. 16 fighter jets that's while greece is processing a deal to buy the latest us at $35.00 jets. the 3 major forces in form or turkish ambassador to the you told us that grief is in no position to buy expensive weapons from the us. the degree get to choose it. and so there are several reasons.

so that if it, for example, greece increases its territorial, was the water still to itemize a? it would be internal c for grease and in charge of ships. so what us permission to try it agrees now is the army gets on the record, leave it behind the scene again, the united states, our friends are playing a major role. another point, greece is bankrupt. country, and they're buying from united states is $13000000000.00 worth of the claims. for example, what does this mean? ho? who's financing? 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. while 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. it was policies for us on tonight. it's not to know any more. it's time to external turkey. let it go to russia, go to china, let it go to turkish political scientist, owner seen on it goes on tongue, 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 kneeves and evolution to come out against. if the western media objective, i will talk that the best that they would consider these facts. although turkey

hasn't 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 for sport, military, terrorist organizations like p j, 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 interest, it make no 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 in the 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 lead. s. c. o. meeting in moscow to discuss some strength and cooperation more. and 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 a hunger crisis in recent months and impoverished parts of the world. that is no effective solution to the food crises, without reintegrating ukraine's roots with auction, as well as the food and fertilizer products produced by russia and bellows into

world markets despite the war and the russian food and fertilizers must have and received excess to world markets without the 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 leaning its wall with another terrible but more silent weapon, hunger, and deeper nations president has launched the grain warm, sucking global food crisis. but while un chief gutierrez has blamed russia's actions in ukraine for worse and 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, t for laser ingredient. the hinder the supply lines have contributed to emerging humanitarian crisis and some nations and iran food prices have risen by 300 percent feeling outraged at the government. well, on the satellite, the change in prices is horrible. the new prices have limited my family's purchasing power on everything coming under say, because with the price changes have greatly affected everyone, 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 dish with 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 or 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, so that's why i are really not even advice i request and not only now, but in 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 or 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 the 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 companies, arturo, 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 post account on twitter are actually fake. now this all comes as billionaire ilan mosque has announced that he is putting his $44000000.00 deal to buy twitter on hold. 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 traders. 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 and 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 mischaracterized biden's initiative. the more it was put for it for a purpose, right? to make sure that we really did a really didn't 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 it. you've got the white house trying to distance themselves. now from the whole ministry of truth, this information campaign, the press secretary doing the we know nothing about this. i may be showing my age, but some people may remember the old sit. com,

hogans heroes rehab. sergeant schultz. costly saying, i know nothing. i see nothing. and maybe that's what divide administration is going to do. now from completely yes, disavowed 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 why you're having this whole bought controversy on twitter. part of what this ministry of truth or disinformation 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 chips. 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 for the republic inside the u. s. is easing some of it's a 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 live it. now you'll recall that that is way le, led by the united socialist party, started by hugo chavez than later. now it's nicholas madeira 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 put maximum pressure on the country to

remove its like did leaders from the 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. now the united states has withdrawn recognition from the venezuelan president nicholas darrow, and named juan guido is somehow being the legitimate leader of that as well. 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 madeau 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 antony blink and, and other figures in the bible ministration. they continue to refer to nicholas mccarrow as a brutal dictator. usa has not restored diplomatic relation 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 us sanctioned 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, by the ministration says that the trump era policies of maximum pressure are still

in effect. this isn't a policy change. we want to be very clear about this point. sanctions on the missouri regime will remain in place. we're not doing this to reverse trumps maximum pressure campaign, or policy overall has not changed. well, it certainly looks 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 that as well and government with maximum pressure. but 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 had 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 the hind, the seems a, the real issue is to allow venezuela to ship some oil to russian europe. you know,

biden has made some real commitments to western europe. if they cut off russian oil, you know, where they only get this oil from, you know, provide western europe. well, you know, maybe red israel, i think in a back door. the whole idea is to lead venezuela and i can produce about 800000 barrels a day, which is what the usaa was providing roughly to europe. it'll be able to ship some of that to western europe in the short run. i, i think that's the thing behind the scenes that really you know, the, the real objective here on the service you're going to see all this fake negotiations with then as well as, you know, do you actual never let venezuela often hook in a restore relationship 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 stance loves us to said his organization is in closely following the growth of the este ceo's authority in the international arena. he said that the meeting between the alliances to leaders was only the 2nd in history and expressed a desire to build peace and strength in cooperation between russia and neighboring china. after beijing indicated last month, their intention to collaborate more with the c s t o. will put it is do you see the quiz that we welcome, china's desire for involvement with the c s t o, 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 and 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 posts, soviet estates in eurasia, including bell roofs, armenia tajikistan, curtis don, and cause it's don faced with unrest that broke out in january conflicts downs, government requested c. s t o assistance to fend off what cars extends president says was a threat to the country sovereignty from tens of thousands of alleged terrorists. of the cfo deployed some 2500 troops to guard key facilities. incomes external 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 a bouquet. 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. it's after the meeting of the leaders of the c

s t o countries. after listening to our heads of state, 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. our organization's foundation and the need for it are too strong with 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 in the news i

aah, ukraine a big and rich country. that's always been hand in hand with russia until recently . 2014, a qu divides ukraine and leads to fratricidal war and on a war that continues to this on the edge of a large field near low ganske, the mass grave. local say that the people buried here are mostly civilians who are allegedly killed by ukrainian paramilitary groups in the summer of 2014 this was with a mr. alcorda.
