4:03 am
exclusive pictures that you're saying, because right now we're the only news crew here on the ground and this close to the plant. and indeed it has been captured by the russian forces or by the forces of the den. that's a people's republic. after all of the as of style, well, as of south fighters of the near nazi fighters have decided to surrender, they received orders to surrender. quite importantly, among those who have chosen to become prisoners of war. ah, well, the commanders of the as of battalion 3 most media friendly figures, which you have quite likely seen on t. v. making statements addressing to the world, addressing of air, their command and dressing, the authorities, pleading to them to well save them to extract to evacuate them. well they have been extracted in a way may be not in though in the way that they expected to. they were extracted to prison to the penitentiary facilities. here i'm talking of those fighters who are healthy,
4:04 am
but there were dozens of wounded our people in very serious conditions without access to proper food or medicine. they have been taken to hospitals and they are of course, a receiving treatment. now, this comes after well months of a siege here that we have seen that we filmed. we filmed the fighting here, but and after months of heavy shelling of heavy fighting, heavy pressure by the russian forces there, by the forces of the de nest people's republic, they have decided to surrender. quite importantly, nobody stormed them after direct orders from the russian president vladimir putin to just lay siege to this place and make this operation as humanitarian as possible . have a listen, particularly to promotional huge to i consider the proposed storming of the industrial zone impractical. i order you to cancel it. this is a time when we must think we must always think, but even more. so in this case, about preserving the live and health of our soldiers and officers. there's no need
4:05 am
to climb into these catacombs and crawl under ground through these industrial facilities block off this industrial area so that the fly doesn't fly through once again. invite everyone who has not yet laid down their arms to do so. the russian side guarantees their lives. well this as of style plant was a says spit for the worst of the worst that well basically for the most radical elements of the ukrainian forces along with the regular soldiers this well, this plant was occupied and well commanded by the neo nazi as old battalion again, this is, these are some of the most radical and world, well, right wing policy of the ukrainian army. they have, they are, they are known to have committed multiple atrocities. and while crimes against humanity and world crimes of war, have a look here with
4:06 am
4:07 am
threatened to shoot me in the hands or to should my feet. they humiliated me and said they were going to rate me. they threatened to bring my wife and daughters in and talked to them in front of me. i could not eat for 3 days. i was one of those many battalions. did dickie will need yield. they are what they are so again, this is the same as old battalion that is now being treated in accordance with the every word with every article of international law applied to prisoners of war. they themselves did not bother following those rules. this is why the special forces of the de nets, people's republic. in fact, they are right behind me and minutes ago they started, well, they started the operation to d. mind the place. we've already had some gunfire from the premises, not because of the contact with the enemy, but rather because they were shooting a mine. so that's why they weren't happy. as they told me, they weren't happy. that at the as of battalion decided to lay down arms because,
4:08 am
well, they were quite blood thirsty, but well, what happened? it has happened. it was very humanitarian. so, but again, there's no secret as to what's going to happen to the, to the prisoners of war to these people. because according to the russian authorities to the local government here, those who will be tried and found guilty of committing these crimes of committing crimes against people hail committing war crimes. well, they will have to face military tribunal and again, they will have face punishment in accordance with the law. really eager. thank you very much for being the latest of the surrender of those troops on this deal upon us. archie correspondence from the ground imaginable. eager done of some of the ukrainian soldiers who have surrendered have such issues with apparent nazi symbolism. one had a school prince on his hand. reminiscence of the touching copper symbol used by nancy s. s. troops. another had a 30 resembling an iron cross, which was a nazi german military award form. a u. s. marine corps intelligence officers,
4:09 am
scott ritter, gave us his take on the surrender of those troops. the reality is, and russia's responsibility to get this message across is that they surrendered because they had no choice. if they didn't surrender, they would die. and they are prisoners of war. they're not evacuees or prisoners of war. and if they haven't committed crimes, there's the potential that they could be exchanged for russian prisoners of war where they have committed crimes. they're going to be brought into the russian system of justice, the crimes of the age of regiment, the crimes of these nazis. these ultra nationalists are horrific and there are recorded. there is a monster ball, not speculation. and if this debt is put out there in a way that's, that can be retrieved and absorbed by western audiences. i think that eventually the west is going to have to acknowledge that there are some very bad people in mario. ready operating under the guise of the regiment and horrific crimes were
4:10 am
committed against the russian people in russian speaking people of going bus for 8 years. we also discussed the latest developments with executive vice president of the radio sense, a think tank rasmussen on investigative journalist edward sol. here in the u. s. of every eat, turn on the regular news. but obviously if you turn on the main stream media and the newspaper, it sounds like my gosh, when is russia going to laugh? i mean, your grain is winning. so hands down why, why is this work still going on? and it's completely opposite it. we've got a very, very, very strategic, well plan, methodical approach being done by the russian army, you know, credit given here and it's lately the opposite direction so, so from the media perspective, they don't want to surrender. so i think is a very,
4:11 am
very, very good approach that president took here and isolating the city, putting the, basically it's a prison. they are essentially in until they really had no choice either they star themselves or, or die of injuries or, or friends come out. just this is a move that their leader should have done a long time ago. several weeks ago. the defeats of the forces are in the as a still plan to install and to send it to mary opal. they represented what could be considered to be the most trained, most zealous, most committed forces that the ukrainian army had. and also this is a, it's a victory that of the tire world can't deny. right? it's something that has been a question here on the west or watching the war from sing. social media post office
4:12 am
is seeing the statements by the west. the statements, by the government of russia center, wondering what the truth is. well, something that is undeniable is that when a flag is res, this is the, i guess the, the elephant in the room is no one is able to factually or journalistically deny that the group that's being placed on trial, the leaders, the soldiers during placed on trial our neo nazis who committed war crimes, the west will presented by ignoring it down playing it. and of course, condemning russia for carrying out these very just judicial actions. a former french soldier who has recently returned from ukraine after volunteering as a medical worker has questioned his country supplies of weapons. the key of my claims to such donations help legitimize controversial far right elements in ukrainian military. we didn't see here as the as off emblem, which is the same emblem used by the s s battalion. here it is. it has the same letter, n is just upturned. and here you can see the symbol of one of the battalions of the
4:13 am
3rd right there. it is a circle will to raise arranged to like stairs you the symbol is also reproduced here. and even without any changes, what i'm showing this. so people understand and you can see with what is succession good you need to because you exactly know. so they just turned in the letter n, u taken from the ss emblem, while the symbol of the 3rd right hand remains unchanged, that it means the as of emblems, dizzy, neo nazi symbol of the ss. and the 3rd right, was image gamma will bully. how can you describe and justify the fact that ukrainian forces using the ss and 3rd reich, symbols are now receiving weapons which france and europe is supplying to crane? just to make it clear, france in europe are sending weapons and ammunition ukrainians. the as of battalion is ukrainian military force around so was getting these weapons and ammunition and young. it is part of the ukrainian army. exactly right. how can france and europe
4:14 am
justify the fact that a neo nazi battalion is being provided with weapons and ammunition through the or the french presidents? manuel by kronos promised his ukrainian counterparts, zalinski the dom supplies to care of would increase in the coming days. jonathan, ortho daniela's, all things the supply more weapons to ukraine will only make the situation worse. western media as doing its very best to make sure that the whole, any information about not the influence than the ukrainian military is suppressed social line. which is repeated in one newspaper or tv station after the other is that there are no nazis in the ukrainian military, or they're very minor. and that is all russian propaganda west, as nurturing a heavily not supplied military force in the ukraine. if the, the more arms that flow to the ass off the tally and the more this element is
4:15 am
militarize, the more we can expect to see such incidents themselves multiply, leads to further violence atrocities a punitive actions against the russian minority. it leads to a growing militarization of a, of the nazi movement, which will have effects not only in the ukraine, but elsewhere as well. meanwhile, the guns republic is close to coming under the full control of russia and his allies. that's according to the russian defense minister has been providing updates about the situation on the phone lines. you want to rush and dance. can ligon's republic forces continue to extend their control over dumbass territory. the full territory of the guns crew public is about to come under their control. russian forces are doing everything they can to avoid civilian casualties. so human tearing corridors can continue since the start of the operation. more than 1377000 people
4:16 am
have been evacuated to russia. and military forces have been providing humanitarian aid to civilians in need in the guns. as the troops advanced to rest control from the last remaining ukrainian military units in the republic, a local resident told us the situation is much calmer now where he lives. things calm down on the 5th day for the 4 previous days, the ukrainian army had been shelling with mortars. my neighbor was killed, several houses burned down. some of their roofs were blown off. but now it's quiet . for me, facing, excuse me, a series of domestic protests against increasing a to ukraine. italy has submitted a 4 point piece on the same beliefs could and the war. but while the use of foreign policy chief you're set barrel has said they received the initiative, he distressed that it is of the ukraine to decide on the terms of any negotiations . r t contributor rachel moss and explains who might see it's least fun as unprofitable. until now. western got rid of the capitalizing on that shocking off
4:17 am
of the conflict in ukraine to ran through the seemingly endless sending packages to army support the country. in one of the structure to across the board with russia. earlier this week, the us senate approved and i was very $40000000000.00 economic, military and managerial made your body and facing the lowest popularity rating. i was term 39 percent press number sign off on the i don't even though american could sure use that kind of casual felt did rising fuel costs and planning installation but citizens some western countries are starting to push back, get these blank checks, major labor union in italy, hit their government with a 24 hour general strike this week, impacting businesses and transport all in protest of the italian government, seemingly endless cash for ukraine. while italian workers simply have to do. but
4:18 am
we may be finally witnessing the beginning of a shift away from war. and the 1st time, but concrete steps in favor of peace, italian for a minister luigi to my o has apparently come up with a piece plan for you grange suggesting that italy may be joining france and germany in seeking de escalation of the conflict. despite pressure from the united states and great britain to keep it going, them i was taking a plan to the united nations secretary general antonio terrace. now this is interesting because keep in mind that 3 weeks ago the cranium officially criticized to get it for making a trip to moscow to discuss the conflict with russian foreign minister gala and president. before heading to here. so the miles decision to involve could suggest an interest in leveraging the usb radical and traditional role as peace broker. to my with 4 point plan 1st as the fire and
4:19 am
demilitarization of eastern ukraine. secondly, negotiations on ukraine neutrality and any potential integration into existing blocks. such as the european union, 3rd, negotiation between ukraine and russia over existing territorial disputes involving crimea, donnette and who guns and fourthly. and finally, a larger european security agreement relate to our control which no no will be needed after ukraine has been flooded with weapon from its western factors. but looming over it, in my own best intention, is whether washington will even allow euro to push for peace. in light of its multi $1000000000.00 investment in the continued the stabilisation of ukraine to be economic detrimental europe is going to require strength of will. unity and
4:20 am
determination on europe spart political scientist, oven garbage says italy's peace initiative will not prevail as the collective west has different plans for the war and ukraine. i think these 2 factors, one is that easily. busy wasn't hawkish to begin with, or is that as not being hawkish is probably seen as a country diplomat can start some kind of establishing a re established and gracious in russia that it should come out with this sort of initiative. i honestly believe at this point, these initiatives are going to anything because the west is not interested when i say the why fi? i mean the united states and let's say brussels collecting brussels in the 1st row . because their idea from the beginning was to try to economically economically suffocate russia to maybe provoke regime change. i guess they
4:21 am
wants to prolong the war and the other side. so why would russia ever go to sign a deal that would be absolutely against this interest? i mean, don't. so the news now the us is to use defends department aircraft to bring baby formula from europe to america. as a country faces a severe supply shortages, americans have been voicing concerns, worrying about how to feed the baby's, my child's rives off the milk. sir, pretty the deal. and go figure. the baby doesn't understand shortages. she just knows she's hungry. i usually get for these big tubs that will last me for the month. and so we buy more and i started to see that there was a formula shortage. i was telling my husband, i said, honey, we got to go and find this formula because this is
4:22 am
a crisis you thought everything is gonna be all right. you know, all of us that a we go to buy formula. everything is gone since did please gary to realize that you may not be able to teach me. great, so we're probably going to transmission and get some formulas cheerly when that went out, but we just don't know what to do supplies. if baby formula in the u. s, are reportedly done by 40 percent terrifying parents who rely on the products, the shortage began in february as the biggest formula production facility. it was closed by the us food and drug administration because of contamination problems. and the white house has announced that the flights will bring the former from europe to alleviate concerns. you have to husband the brother of the outrage over the shortages and has asked for more times how bring baby formula back to supermarket shelves? why did we up da not spring into action? why did it take for my son or his formula? office?
4:23 am
sure, sure. the store shelves, how many more illness and best record due to the entity, a slow response. one problem i've seen over and over with the f d in my 10 years here is i, you guys aren't good at communicating. and you know, this is something a pants are asking us about. they want to know what happened, who was handling all of this in? when does require went to dfcs. i am committed to get back to you as specifics about what happened. i'm just not prepared today to do all joshua aliya we heard from economics and politics professor jack rasmus, he says the americans need start question u. s. government spending priorities. just another example, how across the board in the u. s. it seems like the administration has turned his back on the needs of a lot of american people, and it's totally preoccupied. now. we're providing $5060000000000.00 to a war halfway around the world. oh,
4:24 am
something's wrong with that. americans are being asked themselves like washington. there's about 3 and a half the $4000000.00 babies born in the us every year, and about half of that and, and supplied from other labs. so you got about 2000000 babies who have no formula, you know, on average out there. and what's buying doing well, buying this as is going to bring this weekend one and a half 1000000 bottles from nationally, from europe. well, you know, one and a half 1000000 to 1000000 just like a bottle a day that doesn't solve the problem. or they're going to have to have a shipment of that large every day. and over to pakistan now, which has been shaken by a new round of mass protests with support is a former prime minister among con, rejecting his recent dismissal by parliament. ah, the deposed prime minister expressed criticism of the new government during a recent rally in the city of milton, and told his followers to quote,
4:25 am
not to bow your heads before thieves. now he's been holding a series of speeches across the country this month. as to mobile, i support against the country's new leadership whom he accuses of corruption and says what it was installed by the u. s. he also says his party will make its way back to his i'm about next week and he's demanding a fresh election. on top of what we're here to support con and the peachcare party to oust this important government. the regime change allegations must be investigated for mature to come to a conclusion. now there must be an investigation. 020000000 people. i on the matter weekend. your friend please. we can find you in the parking lot. no guns accuse us of orchestrating his austin overs, close sizes, russia and china. that is of course in allocation that washington has denied
4:26 am
ultimately focused on 4 minutes the bill while a boot. so is a diary during the recent press conference. the united nations describe cons, february visit to russia as an innocence action. he also said that it's about wood lights pivots away from a quote, transaction relationship with the u. s. b. believe the pakistan must continue to engage with the united with the united states at all levels. we believe that that's in the interest of both of the pockets and the people of america. what we heard from the political, unless to show that now is the time for the us to understand the feeling armed conflicts is not the right way to repair relations. do foreign minister or a set of lead that pakistan relations with the united states should be beyond the rhyme, off or enter and bucket on and install graphs, including the establishment members have been seen. your district policy has not
4:27 am
rightly guided in the region because park is on see united states as supporting its assigning stance towards the nomic integration of the region. but unfortunately, united states is convincing parkinson to do more in order to read, to get the terrorism richer to mean as already been eradicated by the fall on establishment that is now under the control of going to start. the truth is that the united states is not trying to understand pakistan, you know bonnie stance that to beer war on terror. that is completely stabilized the reason, almost 80000 people of pakistan. i've been monitored fighting the war of united states now after almost 2 tickets. it is time for the united states to realize that the answer isn't jr. economics, not in the military security report say they couldn't believe have been used to kill prominence. i'll just have a general sharina who actually during israeli military rate this month has been located israel. however, it says it has no intention to open
4:28 am
a criminal investigation because a reporter was killed in what has been described as a quote actually of combat situation. now click warning, you may find some of the following footage is disturbing. last, indian officials have refused to hand over. the israeli authorities are recovered bullet that caused the death of the palestinian side that he doesn't trust. israel isn't as demanded. an international investigation is really military has said the bullets could have been fired by a palestinian militants and palestinians have staunchly denied that claim. now the reporter was shot in the head while reporting in the west bank during her funeral, which gathered thousands of mourners in east jerusalem is really rather riots. police appeared to assault a group of people who were carrying her coffin that did exacerbates the palestinian outcry. the only public information about the death has been provided by palestinian authorities who conducted the autopsy. we heard details on the matter from journalists, mohammed ha mile. the reason why the policy and authority is rejecting or any
4:29 am
cooperation with the israelis is the israel has a long track record of not going through with their investigations. in the past, we have seen a israeli investigations where these issues are often either buried either in time they're buried in that in the dust. and of several months later, they come to a conclusion without even announcing what has happened. i'm personally in my 12 years of coverage in the region. i've seen how these investigations do not amount to anything from the israeli side. a fact that no criminal intent was not found doesn't mean that there shouldn't be an investigation. a life was lost and i feel like that warrenson investigation, regardless of whether there was criminal intent or not, there's a several ways you can deal with this weather, involuntary manslaughter. whether this was a, you know, somebody has to be reprimanded, somebody must be held accountable. well that's it for now. do you head over to our website for more news headlines?
