invading ukraine and pulling as long as those with all due respect. madam secretary, that's utter nonsense, says takia pose is an attempt by sweden and finland to join nato. unless they address anchor security concerns. we look at the width within the western military alliance with . a will welcome to you. you're watching the weekly asi international, bringing to you the latest news along with the stories that shape the past week is good to happy with of a lost pocket of ukrainian military resistance in mario paul has to rendered it the as of stone steel plant, which has been on the stage for almost 3 months, almost $2500.00 ukrainian trips among the many members at the neo nazi as of battalion have laid down that on the facility in recent days. moscow has reaffirmed

that all those prisoners will be treated in line with international norms. ukraine has expressed hopes to exchange them for captured russian troops. meanwhile, russian and done yet, sports is half started, the mining operations at the r as a star factory ortiz ecos on of gives, as this exclusive report from the facility is as of so few works recently, this cesspit word neo nazis and radicals will shapes and flavors will lock 2 and sheltered both the not season regularly pregnant with one of the fiery positions that he has of battalion. you'll fire back. you may look like a regular foxhole, but in fact, it isn't because it's tunnel running all the way under ground. under the seal works,

so they k p a months ago and they were fighting here trying were expecting g of expecting someone to save them well of them. but that didn't happen. eventually they receive the order to rent. so it may seem like a very strict with events, but also with problems with evacuation. well maybe that's how we come about mission logically and very few with some wrote it. some said like it is a surrender. they chose to be prisoners or they are now in good hands of the independent public. but they're telling me they've been telling us that there will, sorry for stays. they're infected because, well, just because of the conditions that they've been staying at. but those who are healthy, oh, they have been placed in penitentiary facilities of both minutes people's republic and russia. and there's been no question about what's going to happen to them with

the sued as this operation. urban progresses. well, i will definitely show you place. i think it's drawn up for 40 years of still stay works and see me. mon applause has been reported in the city of anna, the di and ukraine's zappa, our sky, a region where the local man was apparently the target of an assassination attempt . according to officials, they're a bomb, was remotely detonated hasta andre chef chic entered his apartment building. then there is now being treated for non life threatening injuries in hospital. he said to have received numerous death threats in recent days over his cooperation with russian forces who currently control the area in southern ukraine. joe biden has signed a $40000000000.00 a package for ukraine despite republican lawmakers. warning does a serious lack of oversight. and to where exactly that money might end up

u. s. congressman chip roy and to science, that is american face is surging price inflation and other problems that $8.00 money would be better spent at home. and i'm wondering when we voted to go to or if people 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 this body because the american people expect us to do that. when the border of this country is wide open in cartels have control of it. and fennel is pouring in and we have $30.00 trillion dollars a dead and gas prices are spiking and $1100.00 to fill a tank, a diesel, and we go blank check. $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 to meet that basic needs as the annual inflation rate in the country remains close to a 14 year high. the producer price index, which tracks how much manufacturers get the products at that initial sale,

has with an 11 percent from a year ago. as, according to the bureau of labor statistics and the usaa authorities are trying to lay the blame on russia's president vladimir putin. for the us inflation crisis that started long before the war in ukraine ortiz at kenneth morgan 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 latimer putting in. 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 had 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. moving to your just put out a statement. and the statement basically says a proposed program is not a decision to issue specific places or to authorize any drilling or development. this is from y'all's office. so it looks like you are on his shut everything down that you new york with us i, i am, am i sorry i am sitting in this hearing and,

and not my god, somebody. this shuts down the american people are getting pretty sick of this. polls 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 poms across the country are giving joe biden, some of the credit. he apparently deserves white house, 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. boyd 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 sinking amid controversial economic policies. one has to wonder

how long before he blames that on putin as well. caleb martin, r t. new york. the 40 and flip of the century. that's what human rights watch is. quoted gath by fully u. s. president george w bush. it confused ukraine with a rock which haled at the invasion off in 2003. the result is an absence of checks and balances in russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean, of ukraine. correct. 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 day. 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's standing up there now giving lectures

about about invasions turbulent anti governmental protests, show no signs of letting up in sri lanka, despite a nationwide state of emergency. police only take us on towards the can and as hundreds of students ran it in the countries capital. but as, according for economic reforms on the resignation of the government, the country is facing unprecedented in inflation rates, power, blah, council, shortages of food and medicine. early this week as relates to became the 1st south asian nation in decades to default on its foreign debt. turkey has said it will oppose finland and sweden joining nato unless the 2 nordic countries address anchors concerns about their support for what it calls a terrorist organizations. finnegan, sweden applied for membership this week mocking an end to their long history of neutrality. finland as a long border with russia. turkey. how demanded that finland and sweden deal with

kurdish militants allegedly harboured in those nordic states. was the ladies have expressed confidence that encore his objections will not be a roadblock to the membership process. it takes all 30 nathan members to agree on admitting a new member. he's rachel blevins. as more on the 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 gives a say and everyone works together. native promotes democratic values and enables members to consult and cooperate on defense and security related issues to solve problems build 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 lender 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 attacks on turkey kicked off, they reminded the public that the u. s. still hasn't forgotten about when turkey signed the 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 has even led column as in canada to call for it to be expelled from the alliance altogether. expelled, took it from nato,

that should resolve multiple challenges until now. turkey has been a 5th column of islamism, imbedded within the west to undermine it. that sentiment can also be found in europe, where a guest on polish tv argue that turkey would be better off and in alliance with russia. crime, turkey from meadow, let it go to russia, let it go to china, let it go to around. good written. 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 maybe 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. your opinion is also openly questioning whether it should keep similar policies in place, which is notable as some member states acute hungry 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 you and mickey 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 t. australia has elected a new prime minister hunter, the albany of the labor party, who insists on strengthening the countries and military amid rising tensions with china, australia, its relations with beijing have fall into a new, lo and may camper so called orchestra military deal with the u. s and the u. k. the agreement caused provisions of advance and military equipment including nuclear submarines. in response, china has warned australia against moves. they could exacerbate tensions in the

country in the world can replace the huge market demand in china for australian commodities. and to promote peaceful relations between china, australia is in the fundamental interest. all the australian people i hope, is that our bodies will listen to the voices of a people in australia and do the right thing rather than continue to sabotage china australian relations. the u. n. has called for increased the international efforts to help africa, the whole region where an estimated 18000000 people are on the brink of starvation . a top un official has also warned over persistent threats of terrorist attacks in the region. it, they will ease terrorism and insecurity continue to spread devastating the lives of millions of people. the civilians are often the main victims of terrorist acts, the suffering and loss of civilian populations at the hands of terrorist groups as

indescribable. but future generations will also pay the price to be for over a decade. this balance of land under the sahara desert has been trapped in violence . the region is home to some of the world's deadliest terrorist groups which continue to stage attacks killing civilians and governments. soldiers last year, deaths from terrorism in the 3rd whole region accounted with 35 percent of the global total. almost 1000000 people in the region have been forced to flee abroad with some 3000000 others internally displaced. a professor at the university of south africa stays the crisis, has actually stemmed from western interference. general he's going to have to continue to exist in that region because there isn't in nature he's doing hardly was all the military stayed time. soon. the arrival of molly and i didn't den, and to the very end of the western forces,

as lee got into that, he got molly remained unstable. the continent remains on. it was over here in the western countries, those international forces when they entered, then most of them they can come there. we are by large and i and that i gender is not on the end of the low cost, but there are 2 big the interest of the west am calling to inform them. if i renewed 2 years, there will be in general conflict among the people of the same issue. but my argument is that most of the cases, the divisions are free from outside by cannot forces frances called on libya's rival doesn't to sit down for negotiations following a recent round of arms classes and the capital tripoli. i want to leave paris was

the 1st order explains to boma libya during nato's 2011 military intervention which helped topple the government of long time lead him alarm a gadhafi, a plunge. the arab country into a decade of turmoil ortiz, were long cars reports a decade after the western military intervention. the libyan capital, tripoli has once again descended into chaos. as gun fights break out between rival factions, a look good. stability vanished from libya as soon as its long time leader more mar gadhafi was violently murdered and the country tumbled into a civil war. the latest standoff is between newly appointed prime minister. 5 he by

chava and arrival premier abdul hamid de baber. but chicago was named prime minister by the country's east base parliament in february, but his un backed rival the bay by his based in tripoli. and that has refused to step down by sugars arrival in tripoli, sport a gun fight. and he later made a decision to leave the capital. despite our peaceful entry to tripoli, without the use of violence or force of arms and our reception by the r, will people of tripoli, we were surprised by the dangerous military escalation carried out by armed groups affiliated with the outgoing government. libya hasn't seen a lasting peace in over 10 years. the country's crisis of legitimacy failure to hold elections and constant civil conflicts have already transpired. info, humanitarian catastrophe. the united nations says more than $800000.00 libyans now require targeted humanitarian assistance,

was phillip bower is hard to say, since the responsible party, nato always seems to disguise its regime change operations. with good intentions, nato played a vital role in protecting civilians and i'm proud of what we have achieved. we did the right thing in the right way and we achieved the right result. i saw that with my own eyes in tripoli. the united states certainly isn't one to admit any wrongdoing in its actions. washington may refuse and deny and continue to say it champions. virtues, even if the whole world robs the american noses in their errors. i'll say these for the need been people. i think president obama made the right decision at the time, and the only been people has a free election the 1st time since 1951. and you know what, they voted from moderates. they voted with the help of democracy. now, after 11 years of conflict unleashed by nato and the united states,

ukranian insurgent army led by stepan bandera. nasa could thousands of poles in virginia in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the mergers were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted. valinda masika is without doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. why i ukrainian politicians are still reluctant to talk about these events, how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past. and why does the memory of belinda, us do divide people ah, with historical just look up from room of natalie muscle around noon. she, judy doesn't being in the green show on a nurse to me as possible. mama cook go through 6th grade to somebody. tamika

with me. hello, welcome to the park some 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union. russia is once again at coastal, trying to choose the path of its development, going west no longer since an option, especially up to the best in your brain. but going east or turning is, is not that either it has the russia past that point of no return. and where is it likely to go from here just because i'm now joined by an undone christian distinguished fellow at the observer research foundation in new delhi. it's great to talk to you, sir. thank you for inviting. in one of your interviews,

you said that you feel like an indian customer, polite with russia being your 2nd motherland. you spend a lot of time here as a child and as, as an adult, as a professional working here. how do you feel about the current state, about the current circumstances of the, of the country that you once openly hold your 2nd motherland? well, we have to keep in mind that my 1st motherland is india, and i look at the world through in denies. and what is happening today in eurasia, particularly between russia and ukraine, puts india in a very difficult situation. it increases the pressure that india is facing from multiple direction and narrows the space that india has to take decisions. so from that perspective, of course, india is not very happy. however, india,

at the same time recognizes that it is not a binary question of your either with us or with them. and therefore, india needs to exercise choices which reflect its national interest. now in here has had its own fair share of neighborly disputes. let's put a diplomatic terms that when it comes to the russians and ukrainians again, i want to rely on your personal expertise or personal experience of this region. do you think this you did in russia and ukraine? the 2 countries are the 2 people that used to pull themselves brothers. do you think it was inevitable or was it in a way man made conflict with all conflicts between human beings or men? mean they are not inevitable, but yes, i think now looking back at.
