very difficult time to sit down and talk with one of the firing positions that he has a battalion you people are going to look like a regular folk. so, but in fact, it isn't because there's a ton of running all the way under ground under the spell, all corresponding reports from the as of style factory. amount of you pull over the last 4 kits of ukrainian fighters in the city has surrendered. russian under net forces are now in full control of the facility where ukrainian troops have been hiding out for months. joe biden signed legislation to send $40000000000.00 to ukraine, despite the us struggling with its highest inflation rate in for decades. bite and blames the price inflation on russia. but not all americans all buying in with you

can thank the activity vladimir putin for invading ukraine and pulling as i was with all due respect. madam secretary, that's utter nonsense. turkey opposed as an application by sweden and finland to join nato. unless the address on car is secure to constance, we look at the rift between the military alliance and the un calls for increased international efforts to help us because i held legion by 18000000 people are on the brink of starvation, under persistent threats that the terrorist attack with welcome to the weekly hit on all the international. my name is peter scotts and these are some of the stories the shape, the news this week. the last pockets of ukrainian military resistance in muddy bloss surrendered at the as of south steel plants which had been under siege for

almost 3 months. around 2500 ukrainian troops have laid down their arms. the facility in recent days now the couch of ukrainian troops could face a tribunal for legit crimes against civilians. moscow has reaffirmed that all those prisoners will be treated in line with international norms. ukraine has express hopes for an exchange for them, for captured russian troops. meanwhile, russian and annette's forces have started the mining operations at the hours of stuff. a factory ortiz eager is done of reporting the facility. this is the as of so few was recently this cesspit weren't new nazis and radicals of all shapes and flavors will lock to and sheltered both. we are not season regularly breaking. for example, with one of the fiery positions that the eyes of battalion use. people fire back, you may look like

a regular foxhole, but in fact, it isn't because the tunnel running all the way under ground under the hostile seal work. so they gave him months ago and they were waiting here trying respect, key of expecting for someone to save them and well evaluate them. but that didn't happen. eventually they received the order to rent it, so they did all who than $200000.00 of them. so essentially, yeah, but, but it may seem like a very strict with events, but also with problem with evaluation. well maybe that's how they come about mission logic and very few, some wrote it. some said it like it is they surrendered, they chose to be prisoners of war. they are now in good hands of the medics and the internet. people, republic. they're telling me they've been telling us that there are wounds. well, there's a very poor state they're infected because, well,

just because of the conditions that they've been staying at, but those who are healthy, well, they have been placed in penitentiary facilities of both the, the next people's republic and russia. and there's been no question about what's going to happen to them. a ration going on behind me because they bring the places they will leaving. but as soon as this operation event progresses, well, i will definitely show you of this place makers, donna proposing the as of style stage works out, see some of the surrendered soldiers have been spotted with the parent. not see tattoos, so mother skull and bones. image on their hands mimicking the talking coff symbol used by s. s troops or the south tattoos resembling an eye in cross a german military award of the 3rd reich. among those who surrendered a mario pl isn't as of battalion commander. and his a closer look at the group itself, ah, worth or just with

with i was arrested by the as often as the you men, the bet me on the head and legs with a chain fires a gun close to my ear,

threatened to shoot me the head or to shoot my feet, they humiliated me and said they were going to rate me. they threatened to bring my wife and daughters in and talk to them in front of me. i could not eat for 3 days. one of those many battalions did the key of will need. they are what they are. i'll swear in the front line russians. unitarian workers have made a number of accusations against the ukraine authors. his treatment of the civilian population. moscow has accused ukrainian army of neglecting the needs of the local population and even shelling residential buildings in killing civilians, including in the city of nikolai of little danced republic. ukraine hasn't yet commented on. those allegations must go. says this on saturday alone. it's a vacuum. it's another 20000 people away from frontline areas to russian territory and in the northern ukrainian region of harker of a legit russian shelling has damaged will. buildings in the city of laza via euclidean president, zalinski is official, telecom channel had a video of the shelling, saying it wounded at 7 people,

including an 11 year old child. now russia also hasn't commented on those accusations. western media outlets have been portraying the ukrainian ministry surrender, muddy pals of style, factory arts and evacuation for marine corps intelligence analysts called with says, the terminology is part of the battle of how the warring sides perceived. the reality is it doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to paint on the defense of murray, a pool, and as a stall plans as heroic. and to use this as a rallying cry. and this is a battle perception over reality. you know, the perception of an evacuation implies that there was a negotiation and the key was able to prevail in the negotiation to successfully extricate the defenders of murray, a full trauma, the russian grasp. i think that's why that they're portraying that this way.

because to say otherwise, that this was a desperate plea for survival. and that the only reason why the defenders are mario pull are alive today is because of the humanitarian nature of, of russia. ukraine can admit this that would be to admit defeat. so ukraine is spinning in a way that makes it look as though ukraine somehow won this battle and was able to negotiate the evacuation of the survivors. the u. s. president joe biden has signed a $40000000000.00 a package for ukraine, enough despite republican lawmakers wanting that there's a serious lack of oversight to where exactly that money might end up u. s. congressman chip roy. emphasize that as america faces surging price inflation under the problems. last aid money would be better spent buckets home. and i'm wondering when we voted to go, or if we were going to have a proxy war and we're going to get $40000000000.00, the ukraine,

because we wanna what all fancy with our blue and yellow ribbons feel good about ourselves. maybe we should actually have a debate in this chamber, a debate in his body because the american people expect us to do that when the border of this country is wide open and cartels have control of it. and fennel is pouring in and we have $30.00 trillion dollars, a debt and gas prices are spiking and $1100.00 to fill a tank, a diesel. and we go blank, jack. $40000000000.00. and by the way, i'm looking at my colleagues on this side of the aisle on that same point, many americans are struggling even to meet their most basic of needs. thus, as annual inflation rates in the country remains close to a 40 year high. the producer price index, which tracks how much manufactures get full products out. their initial sale was 11 percent from a year ago. that's according to the bureau of labor statistics and u. s. authorities are trying to lay the blame squarely on russian president vladimir putin with the us inflation crisis started long before the war in ukraine,

as ortiz kelly moulton explains. it's all putin's fault, they're saying and over and over i'm going to do everything i can to minimize prudence, price hike here at home. you may have noticed this week that your gas prices have gone up. i want to talk to you a little bit about why a lot of it has to do with latin america, and it is really cool. is price hike in terms of gas prices continuing to go in the wrong direction. it is good tag, this is what we're talking about. the data actually shows prices have been rising for quite some time. they did not start with events in ukraine. some people are actually looking into the facts, checking the data. you can thank the activity of vladimir putin for invading ukraine and pulling as long as those with all due respect. madam secretary, that's utter nonsense. in january of 2021, the average gas price of my state was $2.07. 8 months later, 8 months later, long before vladimir putin invaded ukraine, that price was up over 30 percent and it has been going up consistently. since

alley is pointing out, that biden should be shouldering some of the blame his administration's energy policies have not exactly been a stimulus cancelling leases, pushing windmills and solar panels stopping drilling. all of that is going to lead to energy prices going up. the biden is sticking with these policies for move into your just put out a statement. and the statement basically says a proposed program is not a decision to issue specific leases or to authorize any drilling or development. this is from y'all's office. so it looks like you're on his way to shut everything down as you know, europe with the i am, i am sorry, i am sitting in this hearing and, and not my god, somebody that shuts down the american people are getting pretty sick of this poll show that they don't buy the idea that russia is to blame, or that it's their patriotic duty to accept all of this out of blind love for ukraine. bumper stickers at gas pumps across the country are giving job. hadn't

some of the credit? he apparently deserves. whitehouse wants to blame inflation on the russia, ukraine war in eastern europe, but the u. s. itself went to war in iraq and afghanistan and more, and we didn't see inflation like this from it. joe biden. inflation isn't my fault . it's because of putin's price hike. okay, also joe biden, and you get 40000000000 and you get 40000000000 and you get 40000000000. it's not putin's price hike. let's call it what it really is. bite inflation. the buck ends with me, but putin's price hike and everybody is responsible for the huge mess i created, except for me as biden's, popularity keeps singing amid controversial economic policies. one has to wonder how long before he blames that on putin as well. caleb martin r t new york. in the news former us president george w bush in what he dismissed as a slip of the tongue condemned the codes unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq.

he then quickly declared, he meant to say ukraine and not iraq, but human rights watch said it was the freud in slip of the century. the result is an absence of checks and balances in russia and the decision of one man to launch a holy, unjustified, and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean, of ukraine, iraq. anyway, i talked about a freudian slip, i think that's the mother of all. freudian slips it really exposes the whole hypocrisy of the situation that we're in right now. is that men like george bush and women like honda? lisa rice, they've killed i. who knows, really i don't think i'll ever know the true number, but in the millions, literally in the millions of people in there, a war on terror, cuz that's they are the ones who started the war on terror. and that's been used to bomb 19 different countries, the authorization for the use of military force. and that was passed in the days after $911.00. and they're still using to this date. that's the u. s. law,

it's not an international law. it doesn't have any legal basis outside the borders of the united states. this is the twilight zone that we're in is that if you invade countries and you bomb countries and you kill a 1000000 people, but you do it as the british and the americans. it's okay, you're, you're a liberator. if you're russian, you're not allowed to have security concerns and you're war criminal and it's very clear cut as this guy ever received as much of a bad rap as they're getting put in right now. no, no, he certainly hated. but not, not to this level. i mean, no one band americans from buying houses in the, you know, and band american food or american trees or american cats or american music. no, none, none of this happened. there was nothing like that in europe or, or in the west. he got away with it, and he standing up there now giving lectures about about invasions took, he has said it will oppose finland, unsweetened joining nato. that's unless the 2 nordic countries address on cars concerns about what the support was. it's kohls terrorist organizations, finland,

sweden applied for membership this week, a mocking in their long history of neutrality. now philadelphia, along order with russia and turkeys demanded the finland and sweden. both deal with kurdish militants allegedly hobbit in those 2 nordic states. western leaders have expressed confidence though that on cars objections will not be a roadblock for the membership process. now it does take all 30 nato members to agree to admit and country to the alliance ortiz, rachel blevins house, vall, enough story. nato is back in the headlines as the u. s. fights for finland and sweden to become the newest members of the alliance. but not everyone is on board with the plan which brings up the importance of nato's democratic system, where everyone gets a say and everyone works together. neither promotes democratic values and enables members to consult and cooperate on defense and security related issues to solve problems. still trust and in the long run prevent conflict. a native decision is

the expression of the collective will of all 30 member countries. since all decisions are taken by consensus, in this case, the nino member who objects to washington's plan is turkey, as it accuses finland and sweden at ties to groups. it considers terrorists here, these terrorists designation for the courtesy and workers party or p k k. and it's affiliate has also created conflict with the u. s. as washington has supported kurdish rebels in syria. and that's not the only area of contention between the nato allies. as a media tax on turkey kicked off, they reminded the public that the u. s. still hasn't forgotten about one turkey signed a deal. the purchase rushes as 400 air defense systems back in 2017. when you can't win by traditional rules, go around them. there was a lot of thought given toward banishing turkey from nato anyway, especially after president air dawn bought russian as 400 air defense systems from moscow 3 years ago. perhaps now is precisely the moment simply to stand up to these loan strong men who have managed to burrow their way deeply into democratic

institutions. and while nato was on the hunt for new members, turkey's disagreement with washington hasn't even led column as in canada to over it to be expelled from the alliance altogether. expel, took it from nato, that should resolve multiple challenges until now. turkey has been a 5th column of islamism embedded within the west to undermine it. that sentiment can also be found in europe, where a guest on polish t v argue that turkey would be better off and in alliance with russia. time, turkey. let it go to russia. when you go to china, let it go too long. now if you're wondering whether it's possible for nato to get rid of one of its members, well, this isn't the 1st time media talking heads have attempted to put turkey on the chopping block or made the argument that it is perfectly legal for the country to be expelled from the alliance, and it turns out nato isn't the only one looking to get rid of its core democratic

principles when they get in the way. european union is also openly questioning whether it's you keep similar policies in place, which is notable as some member states accuse hungary of holding the block hostage . because it won't agree with their plan to impose an oil embargo against russia. i have always argued that unanimity voting in some key areas simply no longer makes sense if we want to be able to move past. so given these calls to silence and even block, those who challenge the plans of the loudest voices in an alliance when it would appear, those voices only favor democracy when they're getting their way in washington. rachel blevins, r c and moving on now the u. n. has called for increased international efforts to help africa style region where an estimated 18000000 people are on the brink of starvation. humans assistance extra general for the consonant. how sounded the alarm over the persistent threats of terrorist attacks in the mid african region.

it will ease terrorism and insecurity continue to spread devastating the lives of millions of people. civilians are often the main victims of terrorist acts, the suffering and loss of civilian populations at the hands of terrorists. grapes is indescribable. but future generations will also pay the price. for over a decade now, this belt of land under the so hard does, it has been trapped in violence. the region is home to some of the world's deadliest terrorist groups, which continue to stage of types killing both civilians under government soldiers last year. death from terrorism in the region, accounts for 35 percent of the global total and international authorities have failed to prevent an escalation in the violence. almost a 1000000 people have been forced to flee their countries due to looming dangers. with another, nearly 3000000 internally displaced. we spoke with an associate professor at the university of south africa who we show the crisis is actually stemmed from the foreign interference in the region. carol,

he's in continued to continue to exist in dr. jim, because there is a major, i'm just going gotten, it was off immediate time. he stayed talk soon. we are. i love their friends in miley colonizing day. and susie and our veterans, all the western forces are free. gar, in disney got mildly, the main unstable there continental remains on. you goes over here is all the western countries, those international choices. when they enter, then most of them the came from there we visited or about large and i and i gender is not in de luca, but the other 2 boys take the interest of their west and county and does it a problem you find we need to understand our yes, there will be in general conflict among the people of the same issue. but my

argument is bad. in most of the cases, the divisions are freely from outside by external forces and over to australia now, which is the light to the new prime minister, anthony albany of the labor party. but he insists on strength in the countries military, mid rising tensions with china. australia relations with regional power, china fall into a new low and mid countries. orcus miniature deal with the u. s. and the u. k. the equipment coals for the provisions of advanced military equipment and technology, including nuclear submarines. well in response, china has warned australia against news that could exacerbate tensions in the region. both incoming pm albany has doubled down on his assertion. we all know that china has changed. china has changed since last year. it's more aggressive, it's more active in the region, and we need to understand that and respond to it. big, our vice president of the sense of china and globalization believes the new prime

minister will actually bring more pragmatism to australia relations with china. i personally congratulate mr. our knees on becoming the new prime minister of australia. what he talked about, the tensions with china, or need to be addressed a very accurately china is not an enemy of australia, china values, the trade relations with australian, china has the largest market for all things produce deal australia. so i hope prime minister albany will bring pragmatism and realism to deal with china. australian relations, no country in the world can replace the huge market demand in china for australia and commodities, and to promote peaceful relations between china and australia is in the fundamental interest. all the australian people, i hope is the album. these will listen to the voices of

a people in australia and do the right thing rather than continue to sabotage china australian relations. tensions and heating up in the middle east. as israel has warned, the possibility of a regional war on allegations that iran is just weeks away from being able to make a nuclear weapon. yes, maam, she hollins you are and continues to accumulate her reversible knowledge and experience as a development research production and operation of advanced centrifuges. it stands just a few weeks away from accumulating fissile material that will be sufficient for a 1st bomb cor. yes. early this week, israel's defense minister met with top u. s. military officials to discuss iran's nuclear program and is really media outlets have been reporting that the u. s. will participate in large scale drills with israeli forces this month to simulate an attack. connie runs nuclear facilities. the exercise is to be an unprecedented aerial collaboration between the u. s. and israel source between to run and will power on restoring the iraq nuclear

deal have been as a stalemate and both israel and the u. s. of expressed concern that iran has expanded its nuclear program well beyond the stipulations of the 2015 deal. former us president donald trump, unilaterally withdrew america from the deal 4 years ago and imposed crushing sanctions against iran. and u. s. participation in israelis upcoming war jill's house about outreach on social media. how long combined and stick to trumps failed iran policy without having to take responsibility for its continued failure? the latest example, the u. s. will join an israeli drill, simulating war with iran. this is unprecedented. the you asked to join israel in assimilate a war with iran. he's got to be kidding me, just when i thought things couldn't get worse. the u. s. and israel military's are blatantly threatened in iraq with war earlier we heard from foreign policy. analysts say it must africa shush him. he says it,

israel's claims about to run supposedly seek in a nuclear escalation. are unfounded, is really officials the bill raising claims about the wrong all throughout the past decades in 1099 form or is really premier benjamin netanyahu claim that iran was just 2 years away from an a bomb. but despite all these claims in the past 2 decades, there never ever been any kind of move by iran tours making an a bomb. and there's never been even a shred of evidence to prove that iran is been seeking a military nuclear drive, even after thousands of hours of inspection by the i. e. s. these claims normally are followed by military drills and threats against the run by the really like aerial drills, allegedly mocking air strike. and iranian nuclear facilities fits israel bit has been picking off more military threats, not for military action,

but just for changing equations into iran. and changing the calculations of uranium policy makers and forcing them to give in to the u. s. demands in the talks in vienna. so basically speaking as b r o war of will power between iran and the united states is on the way the bought in administration is said to ease economic sanctions against venezuela. so it can boost oil impulse and will be presented as a way to tighten coordination between the south american countries. leadership on political opposition implemented the sanctions relief would include a license for new oil operations in venezuela. venezuela's crude oil industry has been on the us sanctions for years now. as part of the campaign against the south american countries. leadership, which the us does not recognize as legitimate. we heard from a geopolitical expert who says the u. s. plan is to enable it to shake out of the

economic quagmire is caused by those sanctions against russia. like russia, the crisis in eurasia has caused the us to again look for oil and venezuela despite the us having sanctioned that country for many years. the u. s. has applied a hybrid war to venezuela for more than 7 years and imposed sanctions based on 7 executive orders that have blocked venezuelan oil exports. now the u. s. is trying to soften those sanctions to compensate for imports of previously obtained from russia and that europe gets from russia. that's their goal. it's not to remove all the sanctions that are imposed on venezuela or better said the unilateral course of action that both europe and the us have apply to venezuela for not following the intentions of those countries and their leadership in various area. that's the fundamental reason why the u. s. has approached venezuela. again, it's not the removal of all the sanctions but to allow your opinion in american countries to operate in venezuela territory and extract crude oil with the simple

objective of replacing imports of crude oil produced in russia. well, those are the new stores that shaped the we care on artsy, international for me on any of them. do you head over to r t dot com? my name is peter scotts, i'm whatever you want to. i hope you're having a great weekend. thank you for watching. ah, ah, nice a russian station. never. i've been on the northland scheme that came up the 50000 speedy. one else was up and we will bend in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia today,

and archie, neck, given our video agency, roughly all fans on youtube. i did. you did it with me. so what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race group is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical. i'm time to sit down and talk with

me long welcome to work the part some 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union . russia is once again at a crossroads trying to choose the path of development. going west no longer seems an option, especially after they've been in your brain. but going east or turning is, is not that in either pass russia passed, it's point of no return. and where is it likely to go from here? well, to discuss that, i'm now a joined by a non done only krishnan distinguished fellow at the observer research foundation in new delhi is great to talk to you, sir. thank you for emerging. in one of your interviews, you said that you feel like an indian cosmo polite with russia.
