ah ah, so right now we're moving deeper into the stuff we're moving towards one of the tunnel. so what is actually shocking here is not the place even itself, but the sheer scale of it. all. correspondent reports exclusively from inside. the other deal plans get access to the former high doubt of ukrainian troops. that's after the last group of them surrendered, ending at 3 months each. a quarter of the world is said to be on the verge of 5 minutes. the war in ukraine, in western sanctions against russia, district global supply chains. we discussed the issue with the bundle of gas. it's the united states actually refuses to take into account russia, security concerns that has led to the present situation. 3rd,

pinpointing russia again because they're looking for a scapegoat they want this war to continue on. the shortage of russian fertilizers in mexico takes its toll on local farm. as you call out the growing disaster, losing more and more it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people in the whole country without agriculture and the week is just getting underway in moscow. my name is peter scott. a welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis on oxy russian underneath forces house dots a d mining operations of the of staff deal plans. the sides had been on the siege for almost 3 months, being the last stronghold of the nationalist of battalion. and for the last of the troops surrendered on friday. our exclusive footage shows of sloth is left around the facility, the mining of the permits. it will take about 2 weeks. egotist donna is among the

1st and to the plans on the senses. this exclusive report from inside the steelworks, where he accessed the very hearts of ukrainian soldiers, high doubts. ah so right now we're moving deeper into the a found my is left by the ukranian forces. in fact, what we're doing. we're moving towards one of the tunnels, one of the entrances into a channel that they used to well move around to move around supplies and well to move around safely because this whole area was shelled very heavily this. so as we move in or you can see, you can just check out this deal. we can pick more than just one person. whole

truck could potentially well fit in here. so they weren't squeezes stuff like a foxhole or anything. this is major. so what is actually shocking here is not the place even itself, but the sheer scale of it. we've been walking for well for at least 10, maybe 15 minutes. and i was asking those who were with us the special forces of the dentist people's republic. i see that and they're like, oh, got no miles this kilometers of you know, this tunnel going and sprouting across it all directions. just look up this, look about this is this was one of the ways that we use. well, this is obviously useful ventilation. but again, you can kind of peak into what's above the ground into one of the warehouses of the as of self see works is as we keep walking, as we keep walking ahead,

his filmmaking is so becoming any better, frankly. i mean, this is actually in, this is absolutely amazing. then you can really easily get full of it. if you didn't bring a map over, this is the part of a tunnel that the as of seal fighters, the neo nazis and ukrainian regular soldiers used to relax. and what translates as relax, how they spell relax. you can see quite well vividly over here. i'm not going to comment as to what it is because, well, if you know, you know, and if you don't, then probably you shouldn't. but yeah, this is the room where they used to. well, there's a lot of practices latency. there's even a couple of if it doesn't look fancy displacement, certainly like muhammad is an arm, a place that go in the rest. it doesn't leave anything to imagination this place.

and it provides all the answers as to how the, as over the years old battalion was fighting and what it was consuming to keep up the marolla. well, earlier we discussed the latest developments in the war with journalist and author, thomas roper, who's recently been in the dumbass. every case would mean, and if you craig inside, sends buses, they're jumping to the buses and gotten ukrainian control territory. this will be never changed, right? we have nothing, we have a surrender, and they're jumping into buses and going in prison and internet's so there is no discussion about the question, whether it's a surrender. the problem is that the west, once to look the things successful for ukraine, i can say i was in the headquarters of as of right now several days ago in mcmurry opal. and i have seen all the attributes that i'm this if this is not near nazi, i don't know what they were hitting the icons they were. but the books mind comes there were so many things which absolutely clear what they are the west. well,

i think they will just tell it because um to the night when you click it, i was in reopen and i had time to talk to the people only already a month ago. so, and they just came out of the streets again. and i asked all the people to get an impression and them something that can summarize. so the 1st thing is when i ask them of the behavior of soldiers, nobody complains about russian soldiers. i was like, well, if somebody should say something, but no complaints of compliance with russian soldiers, but many complaints of ukrainian soldiers. this was the general uh picture i got um and yes, people told me and i have this on video. they told me that they will help as of in the, in the house is right in the, in the, in the sellers why, of the, as of, for sitting upstairs and fighting. so they were you really human shields for the as if and they told me themselves and they weren't, weren't allowed to leave. the sellers who tried was shot and i talked to a man who just just escaped and, and, and then his conditions. so these are things that are happening there, and the people tell you the soviet president has warned the impacts of the war in

ukraine could leave a court of the world on the verge of famine. if something does not change in the conflict in eastern europe, almost a quarter of the world will be in need of basic quantities of food, which will create new problems. earlier, the un secretary general antonio terrorist thing without russia accusing it of amplifying the facts is causing global hunger. and the un isn't alone in blaming the war for storing prices. the bank of england, which is currently battling with the highest inflation in the u. k. for 3 decades wanted apocalyptic food prices could have a disastrous impact on the world's paul and across over in the u. s. consumer prices have risen to a new 40 year high with prism bite and blaming the russian offensive for this. russia and ukraine have long been significant supplies of grain to the global market. combined, the 2 countries supply the world with almost a 3rd of all traded week and body and $0.75 of some fall oil. we prices of jones

more than 50 percent since the thoughts of the year with the regions major trade routes, the black sea blocked. meanwhile, russia has blame sanctions for supply chain disruption. i think it's ready from so it's trading obligations if it's global partners assist. americans and europeans, after all, will not remain without food, even at exorbitant prices. moreover, it is ordinary europeans who will pay these prices and not those in power countries ready to comply with its obligations in full. but we also expect assistance from trading partners, including those on international platforms. it is a logical they impose sanctions against us and yet they demand food supplies. that is not happening. we are not idiots. well, early and my colleague and nicky are in discuss the skyrocketing prices and the west, singling out of russia saw this with a panel of guests the un chief antonio terrorist as we heard and said that rushes actions in ukraine have worse and global food shortages do you think it's fair to

single out russia for the food crisis? absolutely not. any. somebody used to be saying that out if you, if you agree, if you, in so far as the war has caused any destruction and it's certainly test. the fact of the matter is it's the united states acute refusal to take into account rush and security concerns that has led to the present situation. so in, in i have argued many times that in fact, the current war should not be seen as a war being waged by russia against you grange, but far too much longer wall of the united states against russia, which currently takes the form of a war over you clean officials from kiev, and 0 to the kids to russia of trying to destroy ukraine's agriculture sector in an effort to limit his export earnings and further hurt is war ravaged economy. and if i'm realistically a tactic that russia might employ, and he said no, slightly hypocritical is european countries on the u. s. a still supplying weapons

to ukraine and prolonging this conflicts in and further destroying the economy from a military perspective. that is, it's false because we know that the russian army and has been taking for your attention not to damage. a lot of the fields were all that, that the weed is being the road today, and that is a good particular attention. so that's not true for their perspective. they're pinpointing russia again because they're looking for a scapegoat, because because of their own mismanagement, to try to kill the baker and other ask for bread this they had to think about this before and by applying sanctions. definitely ukraine is do exporting some of it so that we've seen truckloads that we'd going out of the ukraine from the, from the west. of course, the situation is complicated. of course, it's difficult to get out, apply sanctions on a country, and then acute definitely not exporting this week. this is if the west wanted to have funded about this before. we would not be in this situation rather than giving

$40000000000.00 us dollars. joe biden, giving 40 of us $1000000000.00 ukraine with arms, and then think the at the same time, but we may be, be, may be facing with the biggest i, with the fruit sort of outside of our modern time. been totally crazy, hypocritical know, $40000000000.00 will america defense, industrial locked in for fighting soldiers. so they are feeding their order and us be on the other side, feeding their own water and us be on the other side for the work. they're giving $1000000000.00 vote for subsidy. now this is really funny to look at it. so, so here i think we have to understand the reality that there are many people in this work, those who feel that you're going, what is their property for them? the main thing they care about is the property and the privilege of tiny deputies. european political policy has been centralized. it is not logical people who are

the siding with which french shar farmers should be selling to the west of the ether i disconnected with what is happening and really in the, in the farm. and there are technocrat, they're very far from the real life of the farming they want this war to continue. it is important for you to be leaders because they will be the best thing to heat up all this conflict shortly to get up and find out a solution. because as a lawyer, i can see every solution only comes back to their table of negotiation. lot in water field or not in conflict. so when we know, sooner or later, we have to be on the discussion day. but why not? we start now why we are delaying it. the far reaching effects of western sanctions on russia has now made it over to latin america. we should be one of the world's largest fertilize exports. is accounting for more than 12 percent of the global market. functions on exports are putting the whole region on the verge of an agricultural crisis. ortiz alix pinion reports from mexico. cylinder puzzles him,

but last year i planted 3 hector's but this year only one yet due to rising prices for raw materials and especially due to the shortage of russian fertilizers caused by the impose sanctions. sergio garcia has had to plan less corn and tomatoes this year. over the past decade, mexico's agricultural sector has become more dependent on russian fertilizers, particularly urea. according to preliminary estimates, mexico needs about 6000000 tons of fertilizer this year, philip, without others clinician is not getting to these problems are not related to a long standing friendly partnership, but are explained by the difficulties in transporting goods on a global level, which arose primarily because of the situation with russia and ukraine, therefore it's currently difficult to import fertilizers into mexico. sim, blessing that the growing crops with our fertilizer could be a real disaster from mexico and at the moment. villas at the moment, farmers are considering different options to get out of the situation. for example, it has been proposed to use other types of fertilizers or apply smaller amounts to

reduce costs. sergio garcia is buying less fertilizer where he previously use 5 bags of fertilizer. now he only uses 3 length is unit number month, i will try to grow crops. i can only hope that i will not lose the money i have invested. but i do not think that is possible. i think production volumes will decrease in the said method is the meter is also a shortage of fertilizers and warehouses in a, in general, 20 percent of farmers costco to fertilizers. but amid the shortage, that figure has risen to 50 percent according to forecast by the end of the spring summer cycle. farmers may lose part of their crops, in some cases up to 50 percent. lily bottom, ayana with the price may change from day to day, particularly thought any issues with the weather. as the saying goes, don't count your chickens before they hatch. the mexican government has said it plans to triple fertilizer production to support the agricultural sector in this. and so far, 740000 farmers and 9 mexican states have taken advantage of free fertilizers to

feed their corn beans, wheat, and rice crops. the problem is there is not enough support for every one jeopardizing employment for hundreds of thousands of families and driving of food prices. a major crisis is brewing. so yet undergo mall. it would basically mean death. what would happen to the people, the whole country without agriculture? the trade turn over between mexico and russia may seem insignificant in relation to other countries. but as we see, it is of strategic importance. to assume this situation will really harm our economic relations and trade turnover, which has been on the rise. of course, it must be taken into account that due to the conflict in ukraine and the sanctions imposed against russia, this growth will stop and the trade turnover will decrease economic sanctions against russia, imposed over the conflict in ukraine or having macroeconomic consequences. and mexican farmers are already feeling their impact within just

a few weeks time. alex pinion, 40 mexico city. the sanctions on russia also being felt across europe where inflation is running rampant. aussies romika also has been digging deeper into that issue. unprecedented anti kremlin sanctions were meant to destroy the russian economy, at least according to those who implemented them. what we're seeing instead is russian export profits at an old time high. and the rubel becoming the world's best performing currency. all this, while many regular citizens in the european union and the united states are being financially squeezed by spiraling inflation in the united kingdom, due to a 40 year high price spike. some people are facing at soft choice bay for food or for heating their home. we will see that you, people are coming even the people in the jobs. people are still working and working full time and they still need to use a food banks because of the cost of living. i would say because everything has gone

up. we be finding it difficult to buy a stuff because everything, we don't have much relation to hope with the demand. we used to have about 250 people now is gone up to a 400 families. we give our token up to 400, you know, either the ve them out of the who are the few financial expert say the leaders in you inflation rates are baltic and eastern european countries. as sonia is helping the chart with a whopping 19 percent bulgaria, the chuck republic and romania are hovering around. 14 percent lat being bullied are both at around. 13 gary and prime minister leaks or orbit has echoed those who have attributed the suffering of regular people to the anti or russian sanctions. he's also said that the consequences could be a lot worse. all sorts of ill conceived measures, sanctions against russia that destroy hungarian agriculture are equivalent to an atomic bomb. the european union's oldest members who depend on russian natural

resources are also witnessing record inflation. consumer energy prices in the netherlands, increased 83 percent in the year to april the for a minute sir. mark routes. i even suggested that people should accept being a little poorer. we are facing a tremendously high inflation. of course, this affects many people. we will all become a little poorer in the future. this will really happen. we have to be clear about this. across the atlantic, americans are also bracing for difficult times ahead due to for the year high inflation. the usa where most citizens cannot even imagine their lives without a car is undergoing somewhat of a shock due to skyrocketing fuel prices. look at those prices behind me. that is not a joke. that is the actual gas prices now over $7.00 for a gallon, a gas we are being pumped from behind from 30 biden gas right now. look at that is

not a chill people. that is your actual gas prices of to day widen inflation. where's all that money going to ukraine for hutch money for hunter? what u. s. president joe biden refuses to take the blame and says that it's sole. the russian leaders fault comes invasion of ukraine as german up gas prices for prices all over the world. ukraine and russia, that one and 2 largest weight producers in the world were number 3, are shut down. we saw that yesterday, inflation there were people don't know, is it 70 percent of the increase in inflation was are trying to present full price i because of the impact on oil prices. so who is winning the sanctions war? if you take a look at the economic data, it's clear that russia is cruising along almost unscathed more you countries are

folding to moscow's demands to pay for its resources in rubles, almost everything that russia exports around the world has become a lot more expensive. and those exports that are waived by europe. the u. k or the united states are being welcomed with open arms at asian markets and boosting the continence economies. molly's foreign minister claims more people die from food shortages done from terrorism or insecurity. a common came during his talks with his russian council also gave of rove in moscow. diplomats discuss the few crises on the impacts on the agricultural industry of the sanctions on russia. we spoke to the molly and foreign minister after those talks. aah! moses seymour festival. molly, as a country under sanctions oppose is such a policy. such policy is not a solution to day. there are a number of key areas, for example, the production of fertilizers which it necessary for food production. molly is an agricultural country. moreover,

it's no secret that more people die from food shortages than from terrorism or insecurity. they fall even in the face of restrictive measures, imposed on a number of strategically important sectors such as wheat production. in all our countries, people eat bread and the current shortage of food on the market candidate to an increase of poverty levels, as well as tension in societies. whatever measures are, i think the international community should demonstrate common sense in applying these measures. in such a way that it does not happen at the expense of the most vulnerable and poll groups of the population. poopy parmesan ah, bizarre von. no. we have a wonderful partnership with russia long term cooperation, which is any become stronger over the years. we have close cooperation in the field of security and information, and we expect our cooperation will be the same in political terms and on the international arena. we also want to lady economic foundations of this cooperation is necessary to increase the traits on over between the countries. and this is the

purpose of our visit to moscow. b. ah, i took up lucas pacific. do my li, molly got the largest volume of cotton production this year? more than 700000 tons. thanks to which the country now ranked 1st in cotton production on the african continent. and this is with no mentioning of serials and other crops that we grow. we believe that if agricultural fertilizers are available to us on adequate terms, and we can produce enough for the needs of our own population. if you look at the situation this way, we can talk about assistance. for example, in the field of fertilizes or wait. if there are any concessions in this area, i think it will help soften the blow. it's always necessary to think about the consequences about how these actions will affect people. example blue, and moving on. now, felons decision to join nato is both well thought out unprepared. that's according to the european commission of international partnerships, who added the nordic nation had never been neutral. and i've been integrating with

the west for years. but it seems not every one in finland supports his bid to join the military alliance. the chairman of the association of independent journalist ju, her conan, burned, the nato flag, writing the sense of how sinking he claims many people in finland or against the block. but i. e, lisa durable, is what the swarm will nato will not increase phelan security. there are many people in finland who are against nato, especially because the block is increasing tensions with russia. we have a shirt long border of 1300 kilometers on the fence of learn to live in harmony with russia here for 80 years and do not want any tension. we don't know exactly how many friends are against during nato now, but before there was 60 or even 70 percent of the population. therefore, the fins have taken a civil initiative on a referendum and record time, and this initiative was received the necessary 50000 votes. however, the parliament has still refused to take this into account,

which is unprecedented. this referendum of the finished people was ignored for political reasons. the finish politicians just wanted everything to be passed very quickly. bullied philip and sweden's beds for nato membership have been almost universally welcomed by existing nato states. what turkey has expressed opposition, claiming both countries, harbor terrace groups. crecia also appears to be at loggerheads about the idea drew her colon again. claims finished. people aren't even allowed to say anything negative about the alliance a was on or a dollars are we live in finland that an unprecedented time debates and feminine than in the media and now completely under the control of nato. the finish media is completely one sided about nato, but in fact, the more serious problem in finland, his social networks were if you say something against nato, you will immediately be called an agent of a foreign government. that is, in this case, a russian agent. people are intimidated at work even found and yelled at, and social networks are not allowed to speak out against nato,

or simply express their own opinions. my generation has never witnessed something like this when people are being completely gagged and this is just sad. in my opinion, this is absolutely killing the conversation on social networks, but by burning the nato flag. i wanted to show that finland still dares to express its own opinion this even if they are trying to silence it in every possible way. and finally, it could take ukraine 15 to 20 years to join the e u. that's according to french, governor minister, germany says there's also express uncertainty about key of swifter sessions. the block, the rain at the unpacked midday door. ukraine has applied to become a member of the european union, and the commission is expected to give its assessment of the application before the european council at the end of june. at the same time, we all know emanuel mc crohn is right. when he points out that the assessment process is not a matter of few months or even a few years minister, but even if we grant ukraine candidate status to morrow than the instruction is

done. and i hope that we will quickly move to european union membership. however, we all know perfectly well that the process allowing them to join would take several years in truth, probably several decades. while nevertheless, ukraine still says it wants to become part of the european community. moscow though, does oppose the move and says ukraine should maintain a neutral status both when it comes to nato and the you. me, while a former us ambassador to russia claims ukraine was misled to believe it will be allowed to join nato. in 2021, we kept reiterating that ukraine was going to join our diplomats or why? yes or so? yes, that is the real world. political commentator john brakeman said some countries have been waiting for decades to join nato and he show ukraine would never enter the lines. you see there was actually dating the idea of a fast track. but then, of course, is all these other candidates like being and all the macedonia and all these other

countries and about going to want to join and i've been waiting for years and some countries like cliche thing has been waiting 22 years to join the opinion before they are going to say we're waiting to take so much for us. i mean, you see, but for these counties joining, do you mean those speakers feed them across? you know that the, don't you, you mean to getting money from the you and also getting possibility for their workers to immigrate to the you have obviously doesn't what you can do into the european union because the different economy is different wages and everything. and it would be use of action from the population. i see. nobody came to you anytime soon as everything for now, my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again at the top of the hour with all the latest news and views here on our tea. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be in arms. race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i think you chose literally the list of course renewed as you speak on, the billing is pretty much the mine the wish you were banding all in ports of russian oil and gas, new g i where you're suffering the price. i mean, i know they plenty, of course with lower with info. let me know where,

where did you have regarding joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy, so there's your boomerang itself. with mm blood, welcome to work the part some 30 years after the collapse of the soviet union. russia is once again at a cultural trying to choose the path of the development going west no longer since an option, especially after the bath in your brain. but going east or turning is not that

either it has russia past that point of no return. and where is it likely to go from here just because i'm now joined by and undone? christian distinguished fellow at the observer research foundation in new delhi is 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 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 indian eyes. and what is happening today in eurasia, particularly between russia and ukraine, puts india in a very difficult situation. it increases the pressure that goes.
