in the sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy, so there's your boomerang itself. for right now, we're moving deeper into the as of stuff, we're moving towards one of the tunnels. so what is actually shocking here is not the place even itself, but the sheer scale of it, or correspond reports exclusively from inside the as office steel plant getting access to the former highlight of ukrainian troops after the last group of them surrendered, ending at 3 months each also ad on the program kill biden states. the u. s. is ready to intervene militarily. if china takes military action against taiwan. turkeys president once again expresses his opposition to finland,

unsweetened succession to nato, accusing the countries of supporting terrorism as the bid also faces some internal opposition. we hear from a finished journalist to burden the military alliance is flag in this central counseling. and as i've been device since i'm not then in the media now completely under the control of the finished media is complete. one sided about nighttime, but in fact, the most serious problem in finland is so short. i have one on the entrepreneur, ellen musket market. the key tenant of hillary clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, claiming her intention to create links between donald trump. i'm russia. what's, i hope i must go to the world. this is our take. great to have your company today. my name's you know, new russian and done yet. since i've started

d mining operations up the sprawling adult style metals factory. the site in mario paul had been under seeds for almost 3 months. the last stronghold of the ultra nationalist as off. that's all you until the last of the troops surrendered on friday. our own footage here shows explosives left all around the facility. the demining of the per mature will take run 2 weeks. ortiz eager shit down was among the 1st to enter the plan following the surrender incentives this exclusive report from inside the seal works where he access the very heart of the ukrainian soldiers highlight. mm so right now we're moving deeper into the a found mines 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 tunnel 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 the tunnel . so as we move it or you can see, you can just check out the deal. we can pick more than just one person. whole truck could potentially well fit in here. so they weren't squeezes. don't 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, especially of the dentist people's republic. i says that it and they're like,

oh god, no, there's miles, there's kilometers of, you know, this tunnel going and sprouting across in all directions. just look up this, look about this is, this was one of the ways that we use. well, this is obviously used for ventilation, but again, you can kind of peak into what's above the ground into one of the warehouses of the as of south sea works. and as we keep walking, as we keep walking ahead, it's not making you so becoming any better, frankly. i mean, this is actually impressive. it's an absolute, amazing when you can really easily get full fed. 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 it doesn't look fancy this place, but certainly like this is more on the arm a place that go in the vest. 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 italy meanwhile, has come up with a peace plan to end the conflict in ukraine, moscow's currently reviewing the key points of rome's proposal. italy earlier, reportedly submitted a 4 point plan to the u. n. a possible deal between moscow and t bank's foods, a ceasefire. and they demilitarization of western ukraine as well as negotiations

on the countries neutral status with security guarantees. the document also calls for bilateral talks on the status of crimea, and don both as well as a stage withdrawal of russian troops on the winding diamond frictions the china has condemned remarks made by president joe biden over taiwan, stating it will take for him action to defend it, sovereign c, security interest that was in response to the u. s. leader. seeing washington was ready to intervene. militarily, if china quotes invaded the island tertiary, you didn't want to get involved in the ukraine conflict militarily, for obvious reasons. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes, you are. that's a commitment we made. afterwards, the white house claim those comments did not signify

a u. s. policy shift. it claims show biden simply made clear, the u. s. commitment to provide type pay with military assistance for self defense . under the taiwan relations i, washington updated stood by so called one china policy, under which only one chinese government is recognized paging. but which allows for all the official relations with ty, pay, including the sale of weapons, while china stress its right to defend its territorial integrity, should not be underestimated. asian at 1st, unless lou can believe the u. s. has always been on big us on the one china united states is always trying to contradict or explain different ways about the one china policy in america, official always try to contradict or it's a problem miss. and also try to miss your spirit. interpretation of the one turn of policy in china us government has already announced that again. and again,

that was kind of policy is to main stone on the base so that we can all, congress was ready to have people american religion were trying to move make relation we're trying to, we're trying to politic can not be shaped, cannot be sure and can other if a headline stories today, the president of turkey has once again spoken it against finland and sweden session to nato, saying the block is feeling to address anchorage concerns over terrorism. that's tricky cases, both countries of supporting curtis militants. we believe that an enlargement policy, which disregards the fundamental aspects of security won't bring benefits for us or for nato. cold turkey is currently blocking sweden and finland from joining nature was all member states need to agree on the addition of new nations. it accuses

stockholm and hopes thinking of harboring members of the kurdistan worker's party, which on chris considers of terrorist organized. it also wants the countries to lift sanctions imposed over turkey's military operation against kurdish militias in syria. global affairs, unless the use of earth believes the public in turkey is firmly behind the government's position on the matter. generally, turkey as a government and as a people have supported data, it's open door policy. but right now there's beyond an open door policy. there are very legitimate national security concerns with sweden, especially more suite and then then link with the swedish government support for the p k. the public opinion is definitely in support of the government right now that turkey does not want to be sweet, enjoined nato, until these security concerns are address with the nato summit coming up in madrid at the end of june. i don't think this question will be solve until the nato summit

. i think our g one will seek a broader, grander bargain, and be able to sit down with the full leadership of each nato members state and be able to discuss it there. because these concerns are broader than just finland and sweden. i haven't seen pragmatism from the swedish side and the turkey as president said that unless there's compromises there is no use for the swedish leadership to come to turkey. anyway, he said that before when the deputy foreign minister, we didn't want to become and said there's no need to come to the country. so the circus presidents holding very firm in this position. well, at the same time both finland and sweden faced some opposition of home to their bid to join the military alliance in sweden, 2nd largest city guttenberg crowds came out to demonstrate against nato membership to crying. what they say is the country being dragged into nature wars, governments and both north nations refused to put the issue up for a referendum. yeah, an infinity support is also not universal terms of the association of independent journalist. you correlate recently burdened the nato flood in the center of

helsinki. we spoke to him about the public perception of the us lead organization in his country. although he lisa thought about his work thus warming, 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 joining 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 in record time. and this initiative was received the necessary 50000 votes. so 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, to finish politicians just wanted everything to be passed very quickly,

fully or finland and sweden bids for nato membership have been almost universally welcomed by existing native states. but there is opposition, as we just heard from turkey and croatia, also appearing as a potential obstacle. you have chrome and again, is angered that finish people are being allowed to say and one of the country's biggest decisions for decades they was on or they dallas are we live in finland that an unprecedented time debased and feminine than in the media now completely under the control of nato, the finished media is completely one sided about nato. but in fact, the more serious problem in finland, his social networks, where 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 intimidates, that work even found and yelled us in social networks are not allowed to speak out against nato, or simply express their own opinions. my generation is never witness 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 still dare to express its own opinion, even if they are trying to silence it in every possible way, dumbing revelations about hillary clinton's presidential campaign or emerging after her former campaign manager, testified in federal court. he stated that clinton herself orchestrated the plan over alleged links between donald trump and a russian bank in 2016. the story has not escaped the attention of entrepreneur in the world's richest month long musk who tweeted about the alleged boats clinton hoax that most people still don't know that a clinton campaign lawyer using campaign funds created an elaborate hoax about trump and russia. makes you wonder what else is fake. hillary clinton, former campaign manager, is now confirming that she was at the center of russia gate all along robbing the

testified in federal court that during clinton 2016 campaign, she agreed to plan to leak a story to the press, claiming that donald trump has secret ties to russia, i discussed it with hillary as well. i don't remember the substance of the conversation, but notionally, the discussion was pe, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter. she agreed with the decision this testimony was made and the trial of michael assessment a former clinton campaign lawyer who has been charged with lying to the f. b. i. so far, prosecutors have presented evidence that clinton's team didn't just go to the media, but that member such assessment actually worked with cyber researchers of the firm fusion gps to make it look like they had evidence to back up their claim. and they then leaked that information to the f b i. now, former president trump has responded to the latest revelations and he said that this gamble has had a lasting impact. this is one of the greatest political scandals in history. for 3

years, i had to fight her off and fight those crooked people off and you'll never get your reputation fully back. where do i get my reputation back? and it's not just trans reputation because also the reputation of the f, b i, the d o j and every single man stream media outlets ran with the russia gate story . as they proved to the public that they didn't need to take the time to find out if the information was accurate before they presented it as fact. now as for hillary clinton herself remains to be seen whether or not she will actually take the stand at the time or brown. however, the focus for now remains on her team. well journalism color, miss bradley blankenship believes that the revelations about hillary clinton's campaign tactics will impact the democrats who are currently going through the turbulence in the polls. i think it's pretty clear that there was 2 main motivations for hillary clinton and her team doing this. the 1st one was the dealer

to fall out from the wiki league scandal about her campaign and the very obvious conspiracy against the bernie sanders campaign. and the 2nd thing was to influence the foreign policy, the trump administration, to make it so that way. trump's foreign policy, which was supposed to be more restrained, couldn't be so, so that, you know, if he were more lax with russia, are willing to be diplomatic with russia that he would be considered, you know, some kind of mentoring candidate. i think that it will impact the reputation. you know, there's a very important mid term election coming up. and joe biden knows that the democrats are slated to get absolutely destroyed in selection, potentially both houses congress and that will essentially destroys presidency. and usher in trump again. i think that, you know, people calling the blowing the whistle on this is going to really upset that election and ultimately democratic politics general. now, despite pressure from the west, saudi arabia is aiming for a new opec plus deal with russia's participation. the statement was made by the

study minister of energy. saudi arabia is the world's largest exporter and defend the leader of opec, or the organization of the petroleum exporting countries group. the countries coordinates oral production quotas with russia through the opec plus initiative. riyadh has find itself under pressure from western nations since the beginning of the conflict and ukraine, but has so far resisted calls to attempt to further isolate moscow. well, to get some more, all not less cross to london to entrust an oil, an energy expert, doctor, mum to solomon. you're very welcome to the program. so saudi arabia has made it clear that it will have dialogue with russia within opec plus an won't stop cooperating with moscow. why does riyadh maintains such a strong position as regards those ties? saudi arabia and russian. i'm out of the parameters of the global market.

they might be rivals in different markets, like china, india, europe, and many parts of the world. nevertheless, they care about the she unity of their marketing. they said video remarking, and they were entering hulu. that new market is balance and that price is then sure higher than what the economy county nav from that angle that is a mutual impasse for them to pull it and that has been vacated and strengthen. oh, big less in the market as the most influential layer in the market of good sound that it has its own in tennis. and when we can

implant us, do p s a working? if you are russia high, do you think the u. s. lead pressured to isolate russia is going to impact on the r a world. could the tactic actually serve to bring the countries of the region closer together to me, the syrians, that's my personal view. the experience a united states is not a good experience from that, and they have some at the haitian of what the russia has done, particularly in here. and so we're doing a national regime that i guess that they have somebody grievances against the united states. and of course that makes them

stop. and at the same time, take it by take you what's happening in your classes and what size they should date. they can see that the world of them is moving from a system into the system and conflict is about an aspect of it. that's right. sounds good. yeah. and many other gulf states are looking forward to it and, but if you can't move, they can't. then this says if you have the senses from birth so far, which is china and russia as well. and i see, yeah, as you've been going through,

washington has already tried to apply pressure on saudi arabia and indeed other opec plus members to abandon their cooperation with rochelle, increased oil production, which has failed. what do you think is the main reason that these the months have not had the desired effect? well, you and i know that i blush, ames to pick the amount of kids balanced in no big rush. if you there. sheena monica, despite the plymouth, you can upheavals around us. the market is started balance, and they have very limited spare production capacity. so room to appeal that capacity to as well. and if the amount of can becomes imbalance, that's why they haven't been in this funding to the bargain, had the ministrations curve $11.00 for the option for your help. you

know, you asked them to do the scene where i was that the market has to get benefits and they all should realize that it has to keep it to take decisions without extern fan pressure on it. as always, very interesting analysis. plenty to chew on international oil and energy expert doctor, mom to sell me. thank you. thank you. while rushing gas supply or gas problem has completely suspended energy supply to finland after the country refused to pay for energy and rubles of requested by moscow, the russian gas giant issued a statement saying that it has not received payment from finish company for april supplies. since the beginning of the european countries have to pay in rubles for

energy deliveries from russia, which finland was informed about non payment request occurred after russia was refused access to its foreign currency reserves held internationally another european country. poland has also cut itself off from russian gas. the country terminated its supply deal with gas prom on monday. the rushing gothic sports halted its supplies to poland in april, when the country also refused to provide payments in rubles, but warsaw may just end up paying a higher financial price for its decision. according to moscow, since poland continues to use russian gas that it imports from its neighbors. when the ongoing economic tit for tat between russia and the use states following the series of functions and post against moscow, some european m. p 's up to cry. the policy against russia is hypocritical. since no, i write but have been imposed on. busy other countries involved in global wars name

is often a large elite him, it's an incredible law and also hypocritical that sanctions, against oil and gas from russia will help stop the fighting in ukraine. but if we were really fighting for the speed, then we should immediately impose sanctions against saudi arabia, which has been feeling the war in yemen for several years. the saudis would also be necessary to impose an embargo on oil and gas from the united states. the small which has participated in more wars than any other european countries. sou deal as well. we heard from economist like a hammer who thinks that western countries, despite the rhetoric, will be able to fully replace russian gas supplies. russia doesn't hand out the gas for free if those countries don't want to pay russia gas from, of course, doesn't, doesn't hang out and you get the, which cannot meet the demand for the big gas and oil. the western european countries need, or the northern european countries need without their supply from russia,

because the non b r is diminishing. the big area from holland are diminishing. so there is not enough. and if they refuse to take the boy and the gas from russia, they were just, they don't have any. and then the economies will break down well with the conflict on going in ukraine, the whitehouse is not seeking to strengthen its ties with asian countries. with joe biden, making his 1st trip to the region as president r t contributor, rti took st, has been taking a closer look with the u. s. seeking to strengthen its position in the in the pacific. the u. s. president joe biden is going to attend the guard summit in tokyo during his 2 day trip to japan. the visit assumes extra significance in view of the ongoing war in ukraine,

which has led to washington pressurizing its allies and regional partners to side with the vest. rather than russia, we believe that this summit will demonstrate both in substance and in vision the democracies can deliver and that these 4 nations working together will defend and uphold the principles of a free and open indo pacific. a highlight ask job aiden's visit will be a meeting with india's prime minister, nor in the more be on the sidelines of the site. the u. s. expects india support not just in condemning china's expansionist policies, but it also hawks to convince drams to more the to said with needle on the ukranian issue. however, under prime minister, moby india has so far stayed neutral, dismissing pressure to condemn russia. and he has chosen to redeem strategic independence in both international relations and foreign policy from delivering

vaccines and medicine to the world amid the covey crisis and scattered supply chain to the role of a capable nation for peace in the midst of global unrest and conflict, india is the new hope of the world today. during the summit, the u. s. is likely to focus on beijing asking all the guard members to stand with it against china. it is not clear whether it will be in complete agreement with the u. s. on china. india has a stand off vit china for the last 3 years on the line of actual control. however, it has elected, do engage with the aging, to find a resolution to dialogue and to diplomacy. india participated in the bricks, meeting of foreign affairs ministers, where india asked china to live up to its commitments on sovereign equality and dated total integrity under law. given trend so far,

it looks like india is going to maintain it. strategic partnerships with the western block. as well as the eastern block, instead of building the one or the other site. this is out the decal far artie from new delhi. and if you'd like to delve deeper into any of this, our stories to head all over to r t dot com, plenty of content to keep you informed and entertain to, i mean an ally. goodbye for le ah ah. with
